Therefore, the features defined with "first", "second" can explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of the embodiments of the present application, the meaning of "multiple" is two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited.

[0038] In the embodiments of the present application, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "mounting", "connecting", "connecting", "fixing" and the like should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be fixedly connected, or it can be detachably connected, or it can be integrated; it can be mechanically connected, or it can be electrically connected; it can be directly connected, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium; it can be the internal communication of two elements or the interaction relationship between two elements. For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the embodiments of the present application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0039] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 1 to 5 The present application provides a watch head, which comprises a shell 1, a display screen 2 and a protection structure 3. The display screen 2 is arranged on the shell 1, and has a first end 4 and a second end 5 along a width direction Y. The display screen 2 is an arc-shaped structure formed by bending the first end 4 and the second end 5 downward. The protection structure 3 comprises a first protection sleeve 6 and a second protection sleeve 7 arranged on the shell 1. The first protection sleeve 6 is pressed on the first end 4, and the second protection sleeve 7 is pressed on the second end 5.

[0040] Specifically, the shell 1 serves as the basic framework of the watch head, and is used for accommodating and fixing internal components. The display screen 2 can be a touch screen, and both ends thereof along the width direction Y are bent downward to form an arc-shaped structure, so that the display screen 2 is an upwardly convex arc screen.

[0041] It can be understood that, in the traditional watch head design, in order to protect the flat display screen, a thick protective frame is usually arranged around the display screen, which increases the overall thickness of the watch head. In the embodiment of the present application, the display screen 2 adopts an arc-shaped design, so that the installation height of the protective sleeve tightly pressed on the two ends of the display screen 2 downward bending is lowered, thereby reducing the thickness of the watch head, and at the same time, it is also beneficial to improve the touch screen experience.

[0042] In addition, after the installation height of the two protective sleeves is lowered, in cooperation with the arc-shaped display screen 2, the watch head is more in line with the curve of the wrist, which is more conducive to the user to put on and take off clothes, especially in cold weather conditions, the thinned watch head is easier to hide in the sleeve, and the hand is better warmed.

[0043] The protective structure 3 includes two protective sleeves, which are tightly pressed on the two ends of the display screen 2, not only play a role in fixing and protecting the display screen 2, and enhance the durability of the watch head, but also can provide more personalized choices, such as the protective sleeve can adopt different colors or materials to enhance the visual appeal and improve the aesthetics, to meet the personalized needs of users.

[0044] Therefore, the watch head provided by the embodiment of the present application realizes the thinning design of the appearance of the watch head, and improves the wearing experience and aesthetics.

[0045] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 1 to 3 As shown in the figure, the shell 1 is provided with an opening 8, and the inner wall of the shell 1 adjacent to the opening 8 is provided with a stepped portion 9. The display screen 2 is arranged on the stepped portion 9 and covers the opening 8. The first protective sleeve 6 and the second protective sleeve 7 are arranged on the edge of the opening 8.

[0046] Specifically, the opening 8 on the shell 1 is used to accommodate the display screen 2, so that the display screen 2 can be embedded therein. The stepped portion 9 is located on the inner wall of the shell 1 adjacent to the opening 8. The stepped portion 9 can be a plurality of protrusions arranged at intervals along the circumference of the shell 1, or a ring-shaped protrusion integrally formed on the inner wall of the shell 1. The stepped portion 9 can provide a precise installation reference surface for the display screen 2, so as to ensure that the display screen 2 can be accurately aligned during installation, and tightly combined with the shell 1, thereby avoiding poor display effect or equipment failure caused by improper installation. This design reduces assembly errors and improves the reliability and durability of the product.

[0047] The display screen 2 can be bonded to the stepped portion 9 by glue, and cover the opening 8 by its own arc-shaped structure. This design not only ensures the stability of the display screen 2, but also reduces the gap between the display screen 2 and the shell 1, achieving sealing. Moreover, the display screen 2 is embedded into the opening 8 of the shell 1, and this embedded design can reduce the overall thickness, which is conducive to the realization of miniaturization design.

[0048] The two protective sleeves can be installed on the edge of the opening 8 by means of injection molding process, glue bonding or screw connection, and are pressed against the end of the display screen 2. The protective sleeves not only play a protective role to prevent the display screen 2 from being impacted or damaged from the outside, but also further fix the position of the display screen 2 to ensure that it will not be loose or displaced.

[0049] Therefore, the embodiments of the present application achieve precise and stable installation of the arc-shaped display screen 2 and the protective sleeve by ingeniously utilizing the opening 8 and the stepped portion 9 on the shell 1, and are conducive to realizing the thinning design of the watch head.

[0050] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 1 , the first protective sleeve 6 and / or the second protective sleeve 7 are flexible members.

[0051] Specifically, the shell 1 is generally a hard member, such as being made of hard plastic, metal or the like, to provide a solid shell protection. The protective sleeve can be made of TPU, silicone or the like flexible material, which has good flexibility and wear resistance. The flexible protective sleeve is mainly responsible for providing buffering and protection, while the hard shell 1 bears the function of structural support. The two cooperate with each other to not only ensure the solidity of the watch head, but also improve the wearing comfort.

[0052] In addition, the application of flexible material helps to reduce the overall weight of the watch head, thereby improving the wearing experience of the user. By combining the flexible protective sleeve with the hard shell 1, a clear contrast in materials is formed. This differentiated material combination not only enhances the visual level of the watch head, but also improves the overall design aesthetics.

[0053] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the display screen 2 also has a first side 10 and a second side 11 along the length direction X; the protective structure 3 further includes a first protective bezel 12 and a second protective bezel 13 provided on the shell 1, the first protective bezel 12 is arranged adjacent to the first side 10 and is higher than the first side 10, the second protective bezel 13 is arranged adjacent to the second side 11 and is higher than the second side 11, and the first protective bezel 12, the first protective sleeve 6, the second protective bezel 13 and the second protective sleeve 7 are sequentially connected in a closed manner.

[0054] Specifically, the display screen 2 has a first end 4 and a second end 5 along the width direction Y, and a first side 10 and a second side 11 along the length direction X. The first protective sleeve 6 is pressed against the first end 4 of the display screen 2, and the second protective sleeve 7 is pressed against the second end 5 of the display screen 2. The first protective bezel 12 is located on the first side 10 of the display screen 2 and protrudes above the surface of the display screen 2. The second protective bezel 13 is located on the second side 11 of the display screen 2 and also protrudes above the surface of the display screen 2. These protective components work together to form a complete protective frame, ensuring that the display screen 2 is protected in all directions and providing cushioning and protection when the display screen 2 is subjected to lateral impact, preventing damage to the edges of the screen.

[0055] In addition, the design of the protective bezel and the protective sleeve can be customized according to different materials and colors, increasing the visual appeal of the watch head. For example, using different colors or textures of materials to decorate the protective bezel and the protective sleeve can make the watch head more personalized and fashionable.

[0056] In some embodiments, with reference to Figure 1 It is shown that the first protective bezel 12 and / or the second protective bezel 13 are metal pieces.

[0057] Specifically, the protective bezel can be made of stainless steel, aluminum alloy, or other metal materials, which can provide higher mechanical strength, making the watch head more durable and resistant to external impact and pressure.

[0058] In addition, the metal protective bezel can be treated by different surface treatment processes (such as sandblasting, polishing, etc.) to present a variety of appearance effects, enhancing the visual appeal of the product. The flexible protective sleeve can be designed with different colors or textures to add personalized elements. By combining the metal protective bezel with the flexible protective sleeve, a clear contrast in materials is formed. This differentiated material combination not only enhances the visual level of the watch head, but also improves the overall design aesthetics.

[0059] In some embodiments, with reference to Figures 1 to 4 It is shown that the first protective bezel 12 protrudes from the first side 10 by a distance of between 0.1 mm and 0.3 mm; and / or, the second protective bezel 13 protrudes from the second side 11 by a distance of between 0.1 mm and 0.3 mm.

[0060] Specifically, when the protective bezel is too short in height above the side edge of the display screen 2, the edge of the display screen 2 is prone to be damaged by contacting external objects, and the protection effect is poor; when the protective bezel is too high in height above the side edge of the display screen 2, the overall thickness of the watch head is increased, which is not conducive to thin design. Therefore, by accurately controlling the height of the first protective bezel 12 and the second protective bezel 13 to be between 0.1 mm and 0.3 mm (for example, 0.2 mm) above the side edge of the display screen 2, the protection effect can be provided while the impact on the overall thickness of the watch head is minimized, and the best balance between protection effect and thickness control is achieved.

[0061] It can be understood that the part of the protective bezel above the display screen 2 can provide effective buffering and protection when the watch head is subjected to a lateral impact, preventing the edge of the display screen 2 from being damaged. Even in daily use, accidental collisions or falls can effectively reduce direct damage to the display screen 2. Moreover, the height design of the protective bezel not only improves the functionality of the watch head, but also visually forms a sense of hierarchy and enhances the appearance appeal.

[0062] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 1 to 4 , the middle part of the display screen 2 is upwardly convex; the watch head further includes a circuit board 14 arranged in the housing 1, and the middle part of the circuit board 14 is provided with a micro control unit 15 corresponding to the middle part of the display screen 2 and electrically connected with the display screen 2.

[0063] Specifically, the display screen 2 is in an arc-shaped structure with the first end 4 and the second end 5 being downwardly curved and the middle part being upwardly convex. Such a design not only visually increases the sense of hierarchy, but also provides more installation space for internal components. This design makes the display screen 2 itself have a certain three-dimensionality, improving the overall appearance of the watch head.

[0064] The micro control unit 15 is placed at the position of the convex middle part of the display screen 2, taking advantage of the relatively large space in this area. Such a layout not only facilitates installation and maintenance, but also makes the internal structure of the entire watch head more compact. The micro control unit 15 performs data transmission and signal processing with the display screen 2 through electrical connection, ensuring the accuracy and response speed of the display content.

[0065] In addition, the heat generated by the micro control unit 15 can be evenly diffused from the middle part to the surrounding area. Since the space in the convex middle part of the display screen 2 is relatively large, the air flow is smoother, which helps to quickly dissipate heat, avoids overheating, reduces the risk of performance degradation or hardware damage caused by high temperature, prolongs the service life, and ensures the stability and reliability of the watch head operation.

[0066] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the circuit board 14 is also provided with a plurality of first functional elements (not shown in the figure) electrically connected to the micro control unit 15; among them, part of the first functional elements are sequentially arranged from high to low along the direction from the middle of the display screen 2 to the first end 4 on one side of the micro control unit 15, and the remaining first functional elements are sequentially arranged from high to low along the direction from the middle of the display screen 2 to the second end 5 on the other side of the micro control unit 15.

[0067] Specifically, a variety of first functional elements are integrated in the watch head, such as power supply, speaker, microphone, communication module, fingerprint identification module, face recognition module, etc., which can meet the diversified needs of users.

[0068] Part of the first functional elements (such as fingerprint identification module, face recognition module and speaker) are sequentially arranged from high to low along the direction from the middle of the display screen 2 to the first end 4 starting from one side of the micro control unit 15, and the remaining first functional elements (such as communication module, power supply and microphone) are sequentially arranged from high to low along the direction from the middle of the display screen 2 to the second end 5 starting from the other side of the micro control unit 15. The height of the first functional elements gradually decreases from the middle to both ends to adapt to the arc-shaped structure of the display screen 2. This design not only makes full use of the space below the display screen 2, but also ensures the reasonable spacing between each first functional element to avoid mutual interference.

[0069] Therefore, by arranging the first functional elements along the arc-shaped path, the embodiments of the present application can accommodate more components in the limited internal space of the watch head, thereby improving the overall space utilization and facilitating the miniaturization design of the whole machine.

[0070] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the circuit board 14 is also provided with second functional elements (not shown in the figure) electrically connected to the micro control unit 15, and the second functional elements are arranged on the side of the circuit board 14 away from the first functional elements.

[0071] Specifically, the first functional elements are located on the side of the circuit board 14 facing the user, including power supply, speaker, microphone, communication module, fingerprint identification module, face recognition module, etc. The second functional elements are located on the side of the circuit board 14 away from the user, including various sensors such as gravity sensor, speed sensor, distance sensor, heart rate sensor, air pressure sensor, etc. By distributing the functional elements on both sides of the circuit board 14, the length of the circuit board 14 can be significantly shortened. This not only reduces the space occupation in the internal space of the watch head, but also makes the overall size of the watch head more compact. This double-sided layout makes full use of every inch of area of the circuit board 14, avoiding the problem of space waste caused by single-sided layout, and improving the overall space utilization.

[0072] And, due to the shortened length of the circuit board 14, more extra space can be left at both ends of the housing 1 for the curved design of the display screen 2. Such a design not only improves the aesthetics of the watch head, but also better fits the wrist curve of the user, improving the wearing comfort. The extra space can also be used to optimize the design of the protective sleeve, further reducing the installation height, thereby reducing the overall thickness of the watch head and realizing the miniaturization design of the whole machine.

[0073] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 5 As shown, compared with the traditional flat display screen design, the present application can reduce the overall thickness H (i.e. the distance from the highest point of the protective sleeve to the bottom of the housing 1) at both protective sleeves from 15.05mm to 13.80mm by 1.25mm through the arc-shaped display screen 2, which can significantly improve the wearing experience.

[0074] In some embodiments, the present application also provides a watch, which comprises a watch band (not shown in the figure) and the watch head of the above-mentioned embodiments, and the two ends of the watch head are respectively connected with the watch band. The watch of the present application can be an electronic watch, specifically a phone watch.

[0075] Specifically, as shown in Figure 1 The two ends of the housing 1 of the watch head are respectively provided with two oppositely arranged connecting parts 16, each of which is provided with a connecting hole 17. The watch band is rotatably connected with the connecting hole 17 of the connecting part 16 through a rotating shaft (not shown in the figure), so that the watch band can freely rotate within a certain range. Such a design not only improves the wearing comfort, but also adapts to the needs of different wrist sizes and shapes. Moreover, the watch band can be disassembled, making it convenient to replace different watch band styles or materials (such as silicone, leather, metal chain, etc.), to meet the needs of users.

[0076] Since the watch provided by the embodiments of the present application comprises the watch head of the above-mentioned embodiments, it has all the technical effects of the watch head of the above-mentioned embodiments, which are not repeated here.

[0077] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present application, and is not intended to limit the embodiments of the present application. Any modification, equivalent replacement and improvement made within the spirit and principles of the embodiments of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the embodiments of the present application.
