Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of watches, and more particularly to a support mounting structure and a smartwatch. Background Technology

[0002] In stacked watch designs, function buttons and speakers are typically arranged side-by-side to meet the need for multi-functional integration. Steel support frames are widely used as intermediate connectors to securely mount and position these components, ensuring structural stability and reliability. However, this design also presents some challenges.

[0003] First, the use of steel brackets takes up some internal space, which is especially important in microelectronic devices where size and weight are strictly limited. Too many brackets may lead to inefficient use of the watch's internal space, thus affecting the watch's overall thickness and wearing comfort.

[0004] Secondly, from a cost perspective, the manufacturing and processing of the steel frame involves material and process costs. In the watch production process, each additional component may increase procurement costs, processing costs, and assembly costs. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this application is to provide a support mounting structure and a smartwatch, which can simultaneously and accurately mount speaker components and button components through a bracket, thereby saving more usable installation space and meeting the design trend of miniaturization of smartwatches.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] On one hand, a support mounting structure is provided, including: a middle frame, a bracket, and fasteners, wherein a locking part is formed on the bracket, the locking part is mounted to the middle frame by the fasteners, and an mounting space is formed between the bracket and the middle frame for mounting speaker components and button components.

[0008] Furthermore, the locking part includes locking flanges located at both ends of the bracket, and the locking flanges are provided with locking holes that cooperate with the fasteners for locking.

[0009] Furthermore, at least one of the locking flanges has a height difference with the bracket, so that a receiving space is formed on the lower side of the locking flange.

[0010] Furthermore, the bracket includes a first end and a second end, and the locking fold includes a first fold located at the first end and a second fold located at the second end. The height of the first fold is greater than the height of the second fold, and the receiving space is formed on the lower side of the first fold.

[0011] Furthermore, the end of the first folded edge closer to the second folded edge is the first edge, and the end of the second folded edge farther from the first folded edge is the second edge. The horizontal distance between the first edge and the second edge is s, where 25mm≤s≤27.5mm.

[0012] Furthermore, the horizontal distance between the first edge and the center line of the bracket is y, where 10mm≤y≤11.5mm.

[0013] Furthermore, the installation space includes a first installation area and a second installation area, wherein the first installation area is used to install the speaker assembly and the button assembly, and the second installation area is used to install the barometer.

[0014] Furthermore, the horizontal length of the second installation area is x, where 3.5mm ≤ x ≤ 5mm.

[0015] Furthermore, a positioning structure is provided between the middle frame and the locking part.

[0016] Furthermore, the positioning structure includes a positioning post disposed on the middle frame and a positioning hole disposed on the locking part that cooperates with the positioning post for positioning.

[0017] On the other hand, a smartwatch is also provided, including the support mounting structure as described above, and a main unit disposed inside the middle frame.

[0018] The beneficial effects of this application are: both the speaker assembly and the button assembly are precisely mounted simultaneously on an integrated bracket. The locking portion formed on this bracket is fastened to the middle frame with fasteners, which not only simplifies the installation process but also significantly saves installation space between the bracket and the middle frame. This design makes the internal structure of the watch more compact, providing more ample and concentrated installation space for the speaker assembly and button assembly.

[0019] This solution not only meets the design trend of miniaturization in watches, allowing them to maintain rich functionality while further reducing size and weight and improving wearing comfort, but also lowers manufacturing costs by reducing the number of supports, thereby improving production efficiency and market competitiveness.

[0027] To make the technical problems solved by this application, the technical solutions adopted, and the technical effects achieved clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application are further described in detail below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0029] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can include direct contact between the first and second features, or contact between the first and second features through another feature between them. Furthermore, "above," "over," and "on top" of the second feature includes the first feature being directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature includes the first feature being directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0030] like Figures 1-5As shown, this embodiment provides a support mounting structure, including: a middle frame 1, a bracket 2 and a fastener 3. A locking part 201 is formed on the bracket 2, and the locking part 201 is installed on the middle frame 1 by the fastener 3. An installation space is formed between the bracket 2 and the middle frame 1, which can be used to install the speaker assembly 4 and the button assembly 5.

[0031] Based on the above scheme, the support installation structure is meticulously designed, consisting of three main parts: the middle frame 1, the bracket 2, and the fasteners 3. The bracket 2 is specially equipped with a locking part 201. This design not only considers the stability of the installation but also ensures that the bracket 2 can be accurately installed in the predetermined position on the middle frame 1. By selecting appropriate fasteners 3 (such as precision bolts and screws), the locking part 201 is tightly and firmly connected to the middle frame 1, forming a stable and reliable mechanical assembly. After the bracket 2 and the middle frame 1 are connected, a carefully arranged installation space is naturally formed between them. The size and shape of this space have been precisely calculated to perfectly accommodate key components inside the watch, such as the speaker assembly 4 and the button assembly 5. During installation, these components are precisely positioned and fixed within this space, and by using fasteners, screws, and other fixing methods, it is ensured that they will not loosen or shift due to external factors such as vibration or impact during the use of the watch.

[0032] In terms of beneficial effects, this innovative design brings numerous advantages. First, it significantly saves installation space between the bracket 2 and the middle frame 1, making the internal structure of the watch more compact and rational, providing more and more flexible possibilities for the installation of other components, and fully meeting the design trend of miniaturization and thinning of watches. Second, the firm connection between the locking part 201 on the bracket 2 and the middle frame 1 greatly improves the stability and durability of the entire watch structure, ensuring that the watch will not loosen or fall off during long-term wear and use. In addition, this design makes the component installation process simpler and faster, greatly reducing assembly difficulty and time, and also facilitating subsequent maintenance and replacement. Finally, by reducing the number of brackets 2 and simplifying the installation process, this embodiment effectively reduces the manufacturing cost of the watch, improves production efficiency, and significantly enhances the watch's competitiveness in the market.

[0033] Furthermore, the locking part 201 includes locking flanges located at both ends of the bracket 2, and the locking flanges are provided with locking holes 202 that cooperate with the fasteners 3 for locking. During installation, simply align the locking flanges of the bracket 2 with the corresponding positions on the middle frame 1, and then pass the fasteners 3 through the locking holes 202 to firmly fix the bracket 2 to the middle frame 1. This design not only enhances the connection stability between the bracket 2 and the middle frame 1, effectively preventing the bracket 2 from loosening or falling off during watch use, but also greatly improves installation accuracy and efficiency. Due to the precise matching of the locking flanges and the locking holes 202, the bracket 2 can be quickly and accurately installed in the predetermined position on the middle frame 1, simplifying the installation process and reducing assembly difficulty and time. At the same time, the design of the locking flanges also takes aesthetics into account, coordinating with the overall style of the watch and enhancing the structural aesthetics of the watch.

[0034] Furthermore, at least one of the locking flanges forms a height difference with the bracket 2, creating a receiving space on the lower side of the locking flange. This receiving space is specifically reserved for other structural components that may need to be installed. During installation, this receiving space plays a unique role when the locking flange of the bracket 2 is aligned with the corresponding position of the middle frame 1 and secured by the fastener 3. It not only provides ample installation space for additional structural components that need to be installed, allowing them to be securely installed within the receiving space, but also improves the flexibility and scalability of the entire support installation structure. Simultaneously, due to the presence of the receiving space, the bracket 2 can better adapt to changes in the shape and size of the middle frame 1 and the different needs of the structural components that may be installed during installation, reducing the requirements for machining precision and making the assembly process smoother. In addition, the design of this receiving space also considers the overall stability of the watch structure; it can absorb and mitigate the impact of external vibrations and shocks on the connection between the bracket 2 and the middle frame 1 to a certain extent.

[0035] Specifically, the bracket 2 is carefully designed to include a first end and a second end, and the locking folds that cooperate with it are cleverly divided into a first fold located at the first end and a second fold located at the second end. In particular, the height of the first fold is set to be greater than the height of the second fold, and this height difference design allows a natural accommodating space to be formed on the lower side of the first fold.

[0036] During installation, when the first and second ends of the bracket 2 are aligned with their respective positions on the middle frame 1, the first and second folded edges perform their respective functions. Due to its higher height, the first folded edge not only provides sufficient locking force to ensure the bracket 2 is securely installed on the middle frame 1, but also provides ample space on its lower side for other structural components that may need to be installed. This design greatly improves the flexibility and scalability of the support structure, making subsequent functional upgrades or accessory replacements on the watch much easier. While the second folded edge is lower, its cooperation with the first folded edge ensures that the entire bracket 2 remains balanced and stable during installation, avoiding installation difficulties or structural instability caused by excessive height differences.

[0037] It is worth noting that the installation space is carefully divided into a first installation area and a second installation area. This design cleverly achieves efficient use of the watch's internal space and a reasonable layout of functional components. Specifically, the first installation area is dedicated to installing the speaker assembly 4 and the button assembly 5, ensuring accurate and convenient sound output and operation control; while the second installation area is set up independently for installing the barometer 6 to achieve accurate monitoring of ambient air pressure.

[0038] After the bracket 2 and the middle frame 1 are securely connected by fasteners 3, a stable and precise mounting frame is formed. The first mounting area is custom-designed according to the size and shape of the speaker assembly 4 and the button assembly 5 to ensure that they can fit tightly and be installed securely. The speaker assembly 4 is connected to the mainboard of the watch through a specific audio transmission channel to achieve clear sound output; the button assembly 5 interacts with the mainboard through mechanical or electronic contacts to ensure instant response to user operations. The second mounting area is optimized for the characteristics of the barometer 6, providing it with a stable mounting environment and necessary protection to ensure that the barometer 6 can accurately sense changes in external air pressure and transmit the data to the main processing unit of the watch in real time.

[0039] This refined installation space design offers significant advantages. First, it maximizes the use of the watch's internal space, avoiding the space waste caused by traditional side-by-side layouts, allowing the watch to integrate more functional components while maintaining a compact size. Second, the independent setup of the first and second installation areas effectively prevents interference between different components, improving the watch's overall performance and stability. Furthermore, this design facilitates subsequent maintenance and upgrades; when a component malfunctions or needs replacement, it can be disassembled and replaced independently without affecting the normal operation of other components. Finally, from a user experience perspective, this meticulous spatial design makes the watch more comfortable to wear, reducing the bulkiness or unpleasant feeling caused by an unreasonable internal component layout, thus improving user satisfaction.

[0040] Specifically, the end of the first folded edge closer to the second folded edge is the first edge, and the end of the second folded edge farther from the first folded edge is the second edge. The horizontal distance between the first edge and the second edge is s, the horizontal distance between the first edge and the center line of the bracket 2 is y, and the horizontal length of the second mounting area is x, where 25mm ≤ s ≤ 27.5mm, 10mm ≤ y ≤ 11.5mm, and 3.5mm ≤ x ≤ 5mm. The horizontal distance s between the first edge and the second edge is precisely controlled to ensure it is between 25mm and 27.5mm. This design ensures a reasonable allocation of internal space in the watch, providing sufficient space for the installation of different components. Simultaneously, the horizontal distance y between the first edge and the center line of the bracket 2 is set between 10mm and 11.5mm to meet the positioning and fixing requirements of the bracket 2. Based on this, the overall length occupied by the bracket 2 is optimized to 26.96mm. This dimension satisfies the structural strength requirements of the bracket 2 while ensuring the overall compactness of the watch.

[0041] Meanwhile, a second mounting area of ​​4.2mm was specifically reserved for the barometer 6. This design allows the barometer 6 to be directly integrated into the bracket 2, eliminating the need for a separate bracket 2, thus saving space and simplifying the design process. Through this innovative design, the barometer 6 can be securely mounted inside the watch and accurately monitor ambient air pressure, adding a practical function to the watch.

[0042] The working principle of these technical features lies in achieving efficient utilization of the watch's internal space and stable component installation through precise spatial division and component layout. Key components such as the speaker assembly 4, button assembly 5, and barometer 6 are precisely installed inside the watch and connected to the watch's mainboard via specific interfaces and connection methods, enabling functions such as sound output, operation control, and ambient barometric pressure monitoring. This design offers multiple benefits. First, it significantly improves space utilization efficiency, allowing the watch to integrate more functional components while remaining compact and lightweight. Second, since components such as the barometer 6 are directly integrated into the bracket 2, there is no need to design a separate bracket 2, which simplifies the design process and reduces manufacturing costs. Furthermore, this integrated design improves the overall performance and stability of the watch. More importantly, this design provides more possibilities for future functional expansion and upgrades, enabling the watch to keep pace with market demands and technological advancements.

[0043] It is worth noting that in the traditional technical solution, the length of bracket 2 occupies a dimension of 24.8mm, and the dimension from one side of bracket 2 to the center line is 10.35mm. However, in this solution, the length of bracket 2 occupies 26.96mm, and the second mounting area for mounting barometer 6 occupies a dimension of 4.2mm. This is because the traditional solution does not reserve installation space for barometer 6. If the traditional solution requires the addition of barometer 6, it would need to add 4.2mm to the 24.8mm, i.e., 29mm. Moreover, if the barometer 6 also requires a separate bracket 2, the overall size would be larger. Generally speaking, under the same device conditions, the size of this solution is about 3.6mm smaller than that of the traditional solution.

[0044] Furthermore, a positioning structure is provided between the middle frame 1 and the locking part 201. Specifically, the positioning structure includes positioning posts 101 disposed on the middle frame 1 and positioning holes 203 disposed on the locking part 201 that cooperate with the positioning posts 101 for positioning. The positioning posts 101 are precisely installed at predetermined positions on the middle frame 1, and their size, shape, and position are carefully designed to ensure perfect fit with the positioning holes 203. At the same time, the locking part 201 is provided with positioning holes 203 corresponding to the positioning posts 101. The size and shape of these holes match the positioning posts 101 to achieve precise alignment and fixation during assembly.

[0045] During assembly, the positioning pin 101 is accurately inserted into the corresponding positioning hole 203, thereby achieving precise positioning of the middle frame 1 and the locking part 201. This design not only improves assembly accuracy and efficiency but also ensures the stability and reliability of the watch structure. Through the tight fit between the positioning pin 101 and the positioning hole 203, the middle frame 1 and the locking part 201 can be firmly connected together, forming a stable watch structure. This positioning structure significantly improves assembly accuracy, avoids assembly problems caused by positional deviations, and thus guarantees the overall quality of the watch. At the same time, it enhances the stability of the watch structure, making the watch less prone to loosening or deformation during use. In addition, this design simplifies the assembly process, improves work efficiency, and reduces production costs. Most importantly, the stable structure and precise assembly help improve the overall user experience and reduce inconvenience and trouble caused by watch structure problems.
