Moreover, the specific features, structures, materials or characteristics described can be combined in any one or more embodiments or examples in a suitable manner.

[0044] With the development of science and technology, the types of intelligent wearable devices are increasing, such as smart watches, smart bracelets and the like. The intelligent wearable device can realize digital health function to obtain the health data of the wearing user, such as blood oxygen, heart rate, blood pressure, respiratory rate, temperature and the like.

[0045] At the same time, with the continuous pursuit of the user for the increasingly miniaturization of the intelligent wearable device, the intelligent ring is introduced, and the intelligent ring is more small and light, so that it is almost not felt in daily life. It is particularly important for users who need to wear for a long time. Therefore, the intelligent ring has less influence on the user during wearing, and provides a more comfortable wearing experience. At the same time, the intelligent ring is the same as the smart watch and the smart bracelet, and is also configured to obtain the health data of the user.

[0046] In the related art, the smart ring includes a battery and a functional component, and the battery can supply power to the functional component. The battery and the functional component are arranged along the inner and outer directions of the smart ring along the finger, or the battery and the functional component are arranged along the axial direction of the smart ring, which results in low utilization of the internal space of the smart ring, thereby making the smart ring unable to be further miniaturized and thinned, and is not conducive to heat dissipation of the battery, thereby reducing the reliability of the smart ring.

[0047] Based on this, the embodiment of the present application provides a smart ring, which can further realize miniaturization of the smart ring, and has good heat dissipation performance, thereby improving the wearing experience of the user.

[0048] The smart ring can realize mutual transmission of data with the external computing device through the communication signal, that is, the smart ring can send and receive signals. The signal connection mode of the smart ring and the external computing device can be wired, wireless or a combination thereof. In some application scenarios, since the smart ring includes a processor, the smart ring can also be used as a device for independent data processing without relying on the external computing device. The external computing device can be a computer, a smart phone, a smart watch, smart glasses, etc.

[0049] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 , Figure 1 The structure schematic diagram of the smart ring 100 provided by the embodiment of the present application is shown in Figure 2 The explosion schematic diagram of the smart ring 100 provided by the embodiment of the present application is shown in Figure 3 The top view schematic diagram of the smart ring in the cross-sectional state is shown in. The smart ring 100 includes: a ring-shaped shell 10, the ring-shaped shell 10 includes a wearing hole 101 for wearing, and a limiting groove 106 is formed in the ring-shaped shell 10; a battery 20 arranged in the first limiting groove 106; a functional component 30 arranged in the interior of the ring-shaped shell 10, and the functional component 30 is electrically connected with the battery 20.

[0050] As shown in Figure 1 , the ring-shaped shell 10 is configured as a ring-shaped structure. The ring-shaped shell 10 includes a wearing hole 101 for wearing, to facilitate the smart ring 100 to be fitted on the finger of the user. The ring-shaped shell 10 is configured as a structure with a hollow cavity to accommodate the battery 20 and the functional component 30 of the ring-shaped shell 10.

[0051] Optionally, the ring-shaped shell 10 can be formed by injection molding of plastic material, to reduce the overall weight of the smart ring 100.

[0052] Optionally, the ring-shaped shell 10 can be made of glue material by molding or extrusion technology.

[0053] Optionally, the annular housing 10 can be a one-piece structure, or the annular housing 10 can also be a split structure. Exemplarily, the annular housing 10 can include a first housing 104 and a second housing 105, the second housing 105 is formed with the wearing hole 101, the first housing 104 is connected to the outside of the second housing 105, and the first housing 104 and the second housing 105 can form the hollow cavity after being buckled.

[0054] As shown in Figures 1 to 3 , the smart ring 100 includes a battery 20. The battery 20 can be a lithium battery. The battery 20 is used to store electrical energy and power the functional components 30 to realize the intelligent work of the smart ring 100. The charging interface of the battery 20 can be located on the outside of the annular housing 10 to facilitate charging of the smart ring 100. The battery 20 can be configured to adapt to the shape with curvature of the annular housing 10 to be accommodated in the hollow cavity of the annular housing 10.

[0055] As shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the smart ring 100 further includes functional components 30 electrically connected with the battery 20. The functional components 30 can include a circuit board 301, a processor and a sensor component 302, etc. The circuit board 301 is used to set the sensor component 302 and the processor, the sensor component 302 is used to emit and receive light detection beams, and the processor is electrically connected with the sensor component 302 to receive the light detection beams obtained by the sensor component 302, and obtain the health data of the user based on the light detection beams, such as blood oxygen, heart rate, blood pressure, respiratory rate, temperature and other health data. These data can help the user to judge the exercise effect, fatigue degree, sleep quality and stress level, etc., so that the smart ring 100 can be used as a tool for daily health management.

[0056] As shown in Figure 2 , the smart ring 100 further includes a limiting groove 106. The limiting groove 106 is formed in the inside of the annular housing 10, and the limiting groove 106 is used to accommodate the battery 20. The limiting groove 106 can extend along the circumference of the annular housing 10, so as to reasonably utilize the internal space of the annular housing 10 to accommodate the battery 20.

[0057] Further, the battery 20 can be configured as a strip, and the shape of the limiting groove 106 can be adapted to the battery 20, so as to more stably fix the battery 20 in the annular housing 10, avoid the battery 20 from loosening during wearing, and ensure the reliability of the smart ring 100.

[0058] Specifically, the limiting groove 106 can be realized by removing a part of the annular housing 10 after the annular housing 10 is manufactured. The limiting groove 106 can also be directly formed in the inside of the annular housing 10 by injection molding or casting process, so as to simplify the process flow.

[0059] It can be understood that, since the limiting groove 106 removes part of the annular shell 10, it is equivalent to thinning part of the annular shell 10. Such thinning treatment can maximize the space utilization inside the annular shell 10, the space for accommodating the battery 20 in the annular shell 10 is increased, so that the volume of the battery 20 can be further increased, thereby improving the endurance of the smart ring 100.

[0060] At the same time, the wall thickness of the annular shell 10 forming the limiting groove 106 is further thinned, and the thinned annular shell 10 can further improve the heat dissipation effect of the battery 20 to improve the reliability of the smart ring 100.

[0061] Therefore, the smart ring 100 provided by the embodiment of the present application can accommodate the battery 20 in the limiting groove 106 arranged in the annular shell 10, that is, the annular shell 10 is thinned in the region corresponding to the accommodation of the battery 20, so as to improve the heat dissipation effect of the battery 20. At the same time, such thinning treatment can maximize the space utilization inside the annular shell 10, the space for accommodating the battery 20 in the annular shell 10 is increased, so that the volume of the battery 20 can be further increased, thereby improving the endurance of the smart ring 100.

[0062] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 4 to 6 , Figure 4 a cross-sectional view of the smart ring 100 provided by the embodiment of the present application is shown when the battery is arranged; Figure 5 a cross-sectional view of the smart ring 100 provided by the embodiment of the present application is shown when the battery is hidden, Figure 6 another cross-sectional view of the smart ring 100 provided by the embodiment of the present application is shown when the battery is arranged. The annular shell 10 includes a first shell 104 and a second shell 105. The first shell 104 can be an outer ring, and the second shell 105 can be an inner ring. The first shell 104 is connected with the second shell 105, and the first shell 104 can be arranged outside the second shell 105.

[0063] The limiting groove 106 can be formed in the first shell 104 and / or the second shell 105. For example, the limiting groove 106 is formed on the side of the second shell 105 facing the first shell 104, the battery 20 is accommodated in the limiting groove 106 on the second shell 105, and the first shell 104 clamps the battery 20 after being buckled with the second shell 105. As shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5 the limiting groove 106 is formed on the side of the second shell 105 facing the first shell 104, the battery 20 is accommodated in the limiting groove 106 on the second shell 105, and the first shell 104 clamps the battery 20 after being buckled with the second shell 105. As shown in Figure 6As shown, the limiting grooves 106 are formed on the first shell 104 and the second shell 105, and the grooves of the limiting grooves 106 formed on the first shell 104 and the second shell 105 are opposite to each other. After the two limiting grooves 106 are buckled, the first accommodating area 102 is formed to clamp and fix the battery 20.

[0064] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the hollow cavity of the ring-shaped shell 10 can include the first accommodating area 102 defined by the limiting grooves 106, and the second accommodating area 103. The first accommodating area 102 is used to accommodate the battery 20, and the second accommodating area 103 is used to accommodate the functional component 30.

[0065] The first accommodating area 102 and the second accommodating area 103 in the ring-shaped shell 10 are respectively used to accommodate the battery 20 and the functional component 30, so that the internal space of the ring-shaped shell 10 can be reasonably divided, the battery 20 and the functional component 30 can be effectively arranged in the limited space, the utilization rate of the internal space of the ring-shaped shell 10 is improved, and the battery 20 and the functional component 30 can be effectively separated to reduce the mutual interference between the battery 20 and the functional component 30, and the stable operation of the smart ring 100 is ensured.

[0066] Optionally, the second accommodating area 103 can be a space formed between the first shell 104 and the second shell 105 for clamping the functional component 30. The second accommodating area 103 can also be an accommodating area formed by thinning a part of the first shell 104 and / or the second shell 105 (a region not corresponding to the battery 20).

[0067] The shape of the first accommodating area 102 can be adapted to the battery 20, so that the ring-shaped shell 10 can more stably fix the battery 20. The shape of the second accommodating area 103 can be adapted to the functional component 30, so that the ring-shaped shell 10 can stably fix and clamp the functional component 30.

[0068] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 3 As shown, the wall thickness of the ring-shaped shell 10 corresponding to the first accommodating area 102 is L1, and the wall thickness of the ring-shaped shell 10 corresponding to the second accommodating area 103 is L2, and L1 is less than L2.

[0069] The wall thickness of the ring-shaped shell 10 can be understood as the thickness of the ring-shaped shell 10 along the inside and outside directions of the wearing hole 101. The inside of the wearing hole 101 is used for the user's finger to extend into, and the outside of the wearing hole 101 is away from the user's finger.

[0070] The wall thickness of the annular shell 10 corresponding to the first accommodating area 102 is L1, which is thinner due to the arrangement of the limiting groove 106. Such a thin arrangement can maximize the space utilization inside the annular shell 10, and the thinned wall thickness of the annular shell 10 can further improve the heat dissipation effect of the battery 20 to improve the reliability of the smart ring 100.

[0071] The wall thickness of the annular shell 10 corresponding to the second accommodating area 103 is L2, which is thicker than the wall thickness L1 of the annular shell 10 corresponding to the first accommodating area 102. On the one hand, it can improve the structural strength of the annular shell 10, and on the other hand, it can also ensure the clamping force of the annular shell 10 on the functional component 30 which is relatively thinner than the battery 20, and ensure the structural stability of the functional component 30 which is relatively thinner than the battery 20.

[0072] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 3 The first accommodating area 102 and the second accommodating area 103 are arranged along the circumference of the annular shell 10.

[0073] The first accommodating area 102 and the second accommodating area 103 are arranged along the circumference of the annular shell 10, which can further optimize the internal space of the annular shell 10, so that the first accommodating area 102 and the second accommodating area 103 can be approximately located at the same height along the axial direction of the annular shell 10, fully utilizing the circumferential space of the annular shell 10, realizing the compact layout of the battery 20 and the functional component 30, and thereby enabling the smart ring 100 to be further miniaturized and thinned.

[0074] In addition, the battery 20 will generate heat during charging or discharging, and the arrangement of the first accommodating area 102 and the second accommodating area 103 along the circumference of the annular shell 10 can also separate the battery 20 from the functional component 30, thereby facilitating heat dissipation, reducing the influence of the heat generated by the battery 20 on the functional component 30, and prolonging the service life of the smart ring 100.

[0075] In some embodiments, the functional component 30 includes a circuit board 301. The circuit board 301 is electrically connected to the battery 20. The circuit board 301 can be configured as a strip-shaped structure, as shown in Figure 7 The end of the circuit board 301 is connected to the battery 20, and the circuit board 301 and the battery 20 form a long strip-shaped structure to fit the annular shell 10. In this way, when the functional component 30 and the battery 20 are assembled into the annular shell 10, the functional component 30 and the battery 20 form an approximately annular structure, and the functional component 30 and the battery 20 can form a partially opposite arrangement. Compared with the arrangement of the functional component and the battery in the related art, the arrangement provided in the embodiments of the present application is more conducive to heat dissipation of the battery 20.

[0076] In some embodiments, the first accommodating region 102 and the second accommodating region 103 are in communication. In this way, the electrical connection between the battery 20 accommodated in the first accommodating region 102 and the functional component 30 accommodated in the second accommodating region 103 can be ensured, and the battery 20 can supply power to the functional component 30.

[0077] In some embodiments, the smart ring 100 further comprises a circuit board 301 connected to the battery 20 and arranged in the second accommodating region 103. The circuit board 301 comprises a plurality of rigid portions 3011 and at least one flexible portion 3012. The rigid portions 3011 and the flexible portion 3012 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the annular housing 10, and the end of the flexible portion 3012 along the circumference is connected to the rigid portion 3011.

[0078] The circuit board can be a PCB (Printed Circuit Board). The circuit board 301 comprises a plurality of rigid portions 3011 and at least one flexible portion 3012. The rigid portion can be a hard circuit board, and the flexible portion can be a flexible circuit board (FPC).

[0079] Further, the flexible portion 3012 is connected between two adjacent rigid portions 3011. The flexible portion 3012 can ensure that the circuit board 301 is a bendable structure, so that the circuit board 301 has a bending angle to be adaptively installed inside the annular housing 10.

[0080] The end of the flexible portion 3012 along the circumference is connected between the plurality of rigid portions 3011 to realize the connection between the plurality of rigid portions 3011. The flexible portion 3012 can be provided with resistors, capacitors, or other flexible electronic components. Accordingly, since the rigid portion 3011 has a certain hardness, the rigid portion 3011 is more suitable for setting electronic components such as processors and sensors that require structural support.

[0081] In this way, the circuit board 301 not only can provide structural support for some electronic components, but also has a certain flexibility, so as to be adaptively and accommodated in the annular housing 10.

[0082] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 7 and Figure 8 The smart ring 100 further comprises a limiting piece 107 arranged in the annular housing 10 and located in the second accommodating region 103. The flexible portion 3012 and the rigid portion 3011 have a thickness difference to form a clamping groove, and the limiting piece 107 is in limiting fit with the clamping groove to limit the movement of the circuit board 301 along the circumference or the axis of the annular housing 10.

[0083] The limiting member 107 is arranged on the ring-shaped shell 10. The limiting member 107 can be arranged on the first shell 104 or the second shell 105. Exemplarily, as shown in Figure 8 the limiting member 107 is arranged on the second shell 105. The limiting member 107 is located in the second accommodating area 103 to contact the circuit board 301 located in the second accommodating area 103.

[0084] It can be understood that, since the thickness of the flexible part 3012 is relatively thinner than the thickness of the rigid part 3011, a thickness difference is formed at the joint of the flexible part 3012 and the rigid part 3011, and the thickness difference forms a clamping groove. The limiting member 107 abuts against the flexible part 3012 and is limited by the clamping groove formed on the circuit board 301, so as to ensure the structural stability of the circuit board 301, effectively prevent the circuit board 301 from loosening or being damaged due to external force or vibration, and thus ensure the overall performance and reliability of the smart ring 100.

[0085] Exemplarily, Figure 7 a connection state diagram of the circuit board 301 and the battery 20 in the smart ring 100 provided by the embodiment of the application is shown, Figure 8 a schematic diagram of the second shell 105 in the smart ring 100 provided by the embodiment of the application is shown. As shown in Figure 7 and Figure 8 the limiting member 107 can be arranged in multiple groups to ensure the fixing effect of the ring-shaped shell 10 on the circuit board 301. Since the sensor assembly 302 can be arranged on the circuit board 301, the ring-shaped shell 10 stably limits the circuit board 301, so as to ensure that the sensor assembly 302 can shorten the distance to the user's finger as much as possible and maintain the distance, and improve the accuracy of data measurement of the smart ring 100.

[0086] In this way, the circuit board 301 not only can provide structural support for some electronic elements, but also can have a certain flexibility, so as to be adapted and accommodated in the ring-shaped shell 10.

[0087] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 7 and Figure 8 the smart ring 100 further includes a first positioning member 304 arranged on the rigid part 3011, and a second positioning member 108 arranged on the ring-shaped shell 10 and located in the second accommodating area 103, and the first positioning member 304 and the second positioning member 108 are in limiting cooperation.

[0088] The first positioning member 304 is arranged on the rigid part 3011. The first positioning member 304 can be configured as a positioning hole. The rigid part 3011 is more convenient to punch and can provide stronger fixing force relative to the flexible part 3012. In addition, the first positioning member 304 has a fool-proof function. When the first positioning member 304 cooperates with the second positioning member 108, the circuit board 301 is installed. The clamping groove on the circuit board 301 directly cooperates with the limiting member 107 on the annular shell 10 to fix the circuit board 301 and the battery 20 connected to the circuit board 301 to the correct position, thereby improving the assembly efficiency.

[0089] As shown in Figure 7 , the first positioning member 304 can be arranged at the end of the rigid part 3011 or the periphery of the rigid part 3011 to facilitate the assembly of the rigid part 3011.

[0090] The second positioning member 108 is arranged on the first shell 104 or the second shell 105 of the annular shell 10. Specifically, as shown in Figure 8 , the second positioning member 108 is arranged on the second shell 105 and located in the second accommodating area 103. The second positioning member 108 can be configured as a columnar structure. The first positioning member 304 and the second positioning member 108 are inserted into each other to achieve installation positioning.

[0091] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 9 and Figure 1 , the inner side of the annular shell 10 is provided with at least one collection port 109. The at least one collection port 109 is communicated with the wearing hole 101. The functional assembly 30 further comprises at least one sensor assembly 302 arranged on the rigid part 3011. One sensor assembly 302 in the at least one sensor assembly 302 corresponds to one collection port 109 in the at least one collection port 109. The sensor assembly 302 emits and receives detection light beams through the collection port 109.

[0092] Specifically, the inner side of the annular shell 10, i.e., the second shell 105 is provided with at least one collection port 109. The at least one collection port 109 is arranged in one-to-one correspondence with the at least one sensor assembly 302. The number of the collection ports 109 and the sensor assemblies 302 is three in the embodiments of the present application.

[0093] The sensor assembly 302 is arranged on the rigid part 3011 of the hard material to provide structural support for the sensor assembly 302. Each sensor assembly 302 can emit and receive a detection light beam through the collection port 109 to achieve real-time monitoring of the health data of the user wearing the smart ring 100. For example, the sensor assembly 302 can include a photoelectric heart rate sensor, which is in close contact with the user's skin through the collection port 109, and the sensor assembly 302 accurately monitors the health data such as heart rate and blood oxygen saturation. The sensor assembly 302 collects the health data of the user at a close distance through the collection port 109, which can improve the data collection efficiency and accuracy of the smart ring 100.

[0094] It can be understood that different sensor assemblies 302 can be used to obtain different biological data, such as blood oxygen, heart rate, body temperature, etc., to ensure the functional diversity of the smart ring 100.

[0095] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 2 , the sensor assembly 302 can include a light source 3021 and a photoelectric sensor 3022. The light source 3021 can be an LED lamp bead. The photoelectric sensor 3022 can be a photo diode (PD). The light source 3021 and the photoelectric sensor 3022 are arranged corresponding to the collection port 109 on the second shell 105, respectively. The detection light beam emitted by the light source 3021 is reflected after irradiating the human body through the collection port 109, and then the detection light beam is shot into the collection port 109 corresponding to the photoelectric sensor 3022 and is detected by the photoelectric sensor, thereby completing the acquisition of health data.

[0096] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 4 to 6 and ​ , the collection port 109 can be provided with a lens 305. The lens 305 can be sealingly connected with the collection port 109 to ensure the cleanliness inside the ring-shaped shell 10.

[0097] Further, the lens 305 can also be a convex lens 305, which is convex outward from the surface of the second shell 105 facing the user's finger. In this way, the photoelectric sensor 3022 located inside the lens can be closer to the user's finger, thereby ensuring the adhesion of the photoelectric sensor to the user's finger, and improving the detection accuracy. In addition, the convex lens 305 can further converge the detection light beam, thereby ensuring the accuracy of data detection.

[0098] In some embodiments, the smart ring 100 further includes a marker 40. The marker 40 is arranged outside the ring-shaped shell 10 to be easily observed by the user.

[0099] The marking member 40 corresponds to the second accommodating area 103, that is, the marking member 40 corresponds to the functional assembly 30 part. In this way, when the user wears the smart ring 100, the marking member 40 of the smart ring 100 can be adjusted to the user's finger pulp, and the sensor assembly 302 can be closer to the blood vessels of the finger pulp, thereby improving the accuracy of data detection. In addition, the smart ring 100 is also worn in this way, and the battery 20 arranged opposite to the functional assembly 30 can be located on the back of the finger, thereby being more conducive to heat dissipation of the battery 20.

[0100] Exemplarily, the marking member 40 can be in the form of a notch, a pattern, a protrusion or a groove, as long as it is convenient for the user to observe, and the embodiments of the present application do not make specific limitations thereto.

[0101] In some embodiments, the marking member 40 corresponds to the center of the second accommodating area 103 in the circumferential direction. Since the second accommodating area 103 is used to accommodate the functional assembly 30, that is, the second accommodating area 103 is used to accommodate the circuit board 301 and the sensor assembly 302 and the like. The sensor assembly 302 can be evenly distributed relative to the circuit board 301.

[0102] It can be understood that when the marking member 40 is located at the center of the second accommodating area 103 in the circumferential direction, it can be ensured that the marking member 40 is provided with the sensor assembly 302 on both sides in the circumferential direction. When the user adjusts the marking member 40 to the middle area of the finger pulp, the sensor assembly 302 can correspond to the finger pulp as much as possible, and since the blood vessels of the finger pulp are abundant, the detection accuracy of the sensor assembly 302 is ensured.

[0103] In some embodiments, the smart ring 100 further comprises a filling member 60. The filling member 60 can be a deformable and solidifiable filling material after cooling, specifically, the filling member 60 can be a plastic member or a silica gel member.

[0104] The filling member 60 is flexible when not solidified, thereby being able to fill the first accommodating area 102 and the second accommodating area 103 as much as possible. After the filling member 60 is solidified, the filling member 60 not only can tightly fit the first shell 104 and the second shell 105 to form an effective sealing barrier, but also can safely wrap the battery 20 and the functional assembly 30 in the first accommodating area 102 and the second accommodating area 103, thereby significantly improving the overall sealing performance of the smart ring 100. Dust, impurities and even user's sweat stains are effectively blocked outside the annular shell 10, thereby avoiding potential damage to the electronic components inside the annular shell 10.

[0105] In some embodiments, the filling member 60 is a light-transmitting member, at least part of the filling member 60 is exposed to the inner wall surface of the annular shell 10 through the collection port 109, and the part of the filling member 60 exposed to the annular shell 10 has a center convex arc surface facing the wearing hole 101.

[0106] Further, the filling member 60 can be a light-transmitting member to facilitate the transmission and incidence of the detection light beam.

[0107] In some embodiments, the filling member 60 protrudes towards the direction of the wearing hole 101 after being solidified, so that the part of the filling member 60 exposed to the annular housing 10 forms a convex lens, which can further converge the detection light beam, thereby ensuring the accuracy of data detection. In this way, the convex lens is formed at the collection port by the solidification of the filling member 60 while sealing the first accommodating area 102 and the second accommodating area 103 in the annular housing 10, which optimizes the manufacturing process of the smart ring 100 and reduces the manufacturing cost of the smart ring 100.

[0108] In some embodiments, the filling member 60 does not protrude from the inner wall surface of the annular housing 10 after being solidified. The filling member 60 is connected to the surface at the collection port 109, that is, the curvature of the surface of the filling member 60 exposed through the collection port 109 is consistent with the curvature of the annular housing 10, so that the filling member 60 and the inner wall surface of the annular housing 10 are smoothly transitioned, ensuring the consistency of the appearance curvature of the smart ring 100, so that the smart ring 100 has better wearing experience and aesthetics.

[0109] In addition, the filling member 60 also has a certain fixing effect on the battery 20 and the functional assembly 30 accommodated in the first accommodating area 102 and the second accommodating area 103 after being solidified, further ensuring the reliability of the smart ring 100.

[0110] In some embodiments, as shown in ​ The outer part of the annular housing 10 can also be provided with a decorative member 50, which can be made of metal or other materials. The decorative member 50 can be located at the connection between the first housing 104 and the second housing 105 to cover the connection gap between the two. The decorative member 50 not only protects the annular housing 10, but also improves the overall aesthetics of the smart ring 100.

[0111] In some embodiments, the first housing 104 is a plastic or silicone member, and the second housing 105 is a metal member.

[0112] Since the plastic or silicone member has good elasticity and shock absorption performance, the first housing 104, that is, the outer ring, can effectively absorb and disperse the impact force of the external environment on the user's hand, protecting the electronic components inside the annular housing 10 from damage.

[0113] In the assembling process, the battery 20 and the functional component 30 can be pre-fixed on the second shell 105. Exemplarily, the functional component 30 can be pre-positioned on the second positioning member 108 of the second shell 105 through the first positioning member 304. Then, the assembled second shell 105, the battery 20 and the functional component 30 are injection molded or molded to form the first shell 104 on the outer side of the second shell 105.

[0114] It can be understood that the first shell 104 formed in this way not only has the function of the outer ring, but also can coat the outside of the battery 20 and the functional component 30, thereby providing a good sealing environment for the battery 20 and the functional component 30 to prevent moisture, dust and other harmful substances from entering. Not only simplifies the assembly process, but also improves the reliability of the smart ring 100.

[0115] In some embodiments, the first shell 104 and the second shell 105 are both plastic or silica gel parts, and the first shell 104 and the second shell 105 are an integral structure.

[0116] In the assembling process, the battery 20 and the functional component 30 can be connected first, then positioned, and then injection molded or molded on both sides of the battery 20 and the functional component 30 to form the first shell 104 and the second shell 105, respectively, that is, the first shell 104 and the second shell 105 can be integrally injection molded.

[0117] At least one of the first shell 104 and the second shell 105 can coat the battery 20 and the functional component 30. It can be understood that the limiting groove 106, the limiting member 107 and the second positioning member 108 disclosed in the above embodiments can be formed in the injection molding process.

[0118] Therefore, since the first shell 104 and the second shell 105 are integrally injection molded structures, the overall strength and sealing performance of the ring-shaped shell 10 are further improved, the process flow is simplified, and the smart ring 100 has a smooth appearance, making the smart ring 100 more comfortable to wear and reliable.

[0119] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. For those skilled in the art, the present application can have various modifications and changes. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
