Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the technical field of wearable devices, and particularly to a crown and a wearable device. Background Technology
[0002] Wearable devices may include a main body and a crown. The crown may have a rotating part and a pressing part. Rotating the rotating part of the crown can at least adjust the time and switch applications, among other functions. Pressing the pressing part of the crown can also perform corresponding functions, such as retrieving or confirming information.
[0003] To facilitate identification of the rotating and pressing parts on the crown, the outer surfaces of the rotating and pressing parts can be set with different indicator layers, so that users can more intuitively distinguish between the rotating and pressing parts.
[0004] However, the manufacturing of the indicator layer on the rotating and pressing parts of the crown in the aforementioned related technologies is relatively complex and of poor quality, which affects the recognition effect of the rotating and pressing parts, as well as the quality and production efficiency of the crown, and consequently affects the quality and production efficiency of wearable devices. Utility Model Content
[0005] This application provides a crown and a wearable device, which can simplify the manufacturing process of the indicator layer on the crown, improve the quality of the indicator layer, thereby improving the recognition effect of the rotating part and the pressing part, improving the production efficiency of the crown, and improving the quality and production efficiency of the wearable device.
[0006] A first aspect of this application provides a watch crown, the watch crown including: a rotating structure having a first end and a second end opposite to each other along a first direction, the second end having a mounting groove, and the outer surface of the rotating structure having a first indicator layer;
[0007] The pressing structure is detachably connected to the first end of the rotating structure. The outer surface of the pressing structure has a second indicator layer, and the first indicator layer and the second indicator layer are different.
[0008] The rotating shaft has a connecting end, which is located in the mounting groove and is detachably connected to the side wall of the mounting groove.
[0009] This application provides a crown that, by providing a first indicator layer on the outer surface of a rotating structure and a second indicator layer on the outer surface of a pressing structure, and by making the first and second indicator layers different, allows the user to identify the rotating and pressing structures on the crown through the different first and second indicator layers. This improves the recognizability of the rotating and pressing structures, enabling the user to quickly find the part to be operated, thus enhancing the practicality of the crown and the wearable device, and improving the user's experience with the wearable device.
[0010] Furthermore, by detachably connecting the rotating structure and the pressing structure, it is easy to separately set the first indicator layer on the rotating structure and the second indicator layer on the pressing structure. This avoids the interference between the first and second indicator layers when the rotating structure and the pressing structure are integrated in the prior art. It also avoids the degradation of the quality of the first and second indicator layers due to mutual interference during their setting. This simplifies the manufacturing process of the first and second indicator layers, improves their quality, ensures the recognizability of the rotating structure and the pressing structure, and increases the manufacturing efficiency of the first and second indicator layers. Consequently, it improves the production efficiency and quality of the crown and wearable devices.
[0011] In addition, by detachably connecting the rotating structure and the pressing structure, and by detachably connecting the connecting end of the rotating shaft to the side wall of the mounting groove of the rotating structure, it is also possible to facilitate the individual repair and replacement of the rotating structure, the pressing structure, and the rotating shaft, thereby reducing the maintenance and replacement costs of the crown.
[0012] In one possible implementation, the first end has a groove;
[0013] The pressing structure is disposed within the groove.
[0014] In this way, by setting the pressing structure in the groove, the side wall of the groove can abut against the outer wall of the pressing structure. The side wall of the groove can abut and limit the outer wall of the pressing structure in the direction perpendicular to the depth of the groove. Thus, the side wall of the groove can restrict the pressing structure from moving or shaking in the direction perpendicular to the depth of the groove, thereby improving the connection stability between the pressing structure and the rotating structure, and thus improving the structural stability of the crown.
[0015] Furthermore, by setting a groove and placing the pressing structure within the groove, the installation position of the pressing structure on the rotating structure can be positioned through the groove, facilitating the installation of the pressing structure in a fixed position on the rotating structure and improving the assembly efficiency between the pressing structure and the rotating structure.
[0016] In one possible implementation, the first end of the rotating structure has a through hole communicating with the mounting groove, and a part of the pressing structure is connected to the inner wall of the through hole so that the pressing structure is connected to the rotating structure.
[0017] In this way, by setting a part of the pressing structure inside the through hole and pressing the outer wall of the pressing structure against the inner wall of the through hole, the pressing structure can be pressed against the inner wall of the through hole in the radial direction. On the one hand, the displacement of the pressing structure in the radial direction of the through hole can be restricted, and on the other hand, the frictional resistance between the pressing structure and the inner wall of the through hole can restrict the axial movement of the pressing structure along the through hole, thereby improving the connection stability between the pressing structure and the rotating structure.
[0018] In one possible implementation, the pressing structure has a protrusion on the side facing the through hole, the protrusion passing through the through hole, and the outer wall of the protrusion abutting against the inner peripheral wall of the through hole, so that the pressing structure is connected to the rotating structure.
[0019] In this way, by installing the protrusion provided on the mounting structure into the through hole, the outer wall of the protrusion abuts against the inner circumferential wall of the through hole, so that the outer wall of the protrusion is clamped by the inner circumferential wall of the through hole, the protrusion is prevented from moving along the axial direction of the through hole, thereby improving the connection stability between the pressing structure and the rotating structure, and thus improving the structural stability of the crown.
[0020] In one possible implementation, the protrusion does not protrude beyond the surface of the bottom of the mounting groove, and one end of the protrusion facing the mounting groove is welded to the end of the through hole near the mounting groove.
[0021] In this way, by preventing the protrusion from protruding beyond the surface of the mounting groove bottom, the protrusion can be prevented from extending into the mounting groove, thus preventing the protrusion from occupying the space inside the mounting groove. Consequently, the protrusion on the pressing structure can be prevented from affecting the connection end of the rotating shaft and its contact with the bottom of the mounting groove.
[0022] Furthermore, by welding the outer surface of the end of the protrusion facing the mounting groove to the inner edge of the through hole, the connection stability between the protrusion and the wall of the through hole can be improved, thereby improving the connection stability between the pressing structure and the rotating structure, and also improving the structural stability of the crown.
[0023] In one possible implementation, the outer edge of the protrusion facing the mounting groove has a first chamfer, and the inner edge of the through hole has a second chamfer at a position corresponding to the first chamfer. The first chamfer and the second chamfer together form a receiving portion for accommodating the welded structure.
[0024] In this way, by setting a first chamfer on the outer edge of the end of the protrusion facing the mounting groove, and setting a second chamfer on the inner edge of the through hole at the position corresponding to the first chamfer, the outer sidewall of the protrusion and the inner sidewall of the through hole can form a receiving part at the first chamfer and the second chamfer, and the welded structure formed after welding can be accommodated in the receiving part. This prevents the welded structure from protruding from the surface of the bottom of the mounting groove, thus avoiding the welded structure occupying the space inside the mounting groove.
[0025] In one possible implementation, the outer surface of the connecting end has external threads;
[0026] The inner surface of the mounting groove has an internal thread that mates with the external thread, and the connecting end is connected to the rotating structure by a thread.
[0027] In this way, by providing an external thread on the outer surface of the connecting end and an internal thread that mates with the external thread on the inner surface of the mounting groove, the shaft and the rotating structure can be connected via threads. Threaded connections facilitate the disassembly and reassembly of the shaft and the rotating structure, and also improve the connection stability between them.
[0028] In one possible implementation, the surface of the connecting end facing the pressing structure is connected to the bottom of the mounting groove.
[0029] In this way, with an external thread on the outer surface of the connecting end and an internal thread on the inner surface of the mounting groove that mates with the external thread, and by connecting the connecting end and the inner surface of the mounting groove through the mating of the external and internal threads, the connection stability between the connecting end and the inner wall of the mounting groove can be further improved by connecting the surface of the connecting end facing the pressing structure to the bottom of the mounting groove. This, in turn, improves the connection stability between the rotating shaft and the rotating structure, and enhances the structural stability of the crown.
[0030] In one possible implementation, the diameter of the through hole is greater than or equal to the inner diameter of the mounting groove; a portion of the pressing structure passes through the through hole and is detachably connected to the sidewall of the mounting groove;
[0031] The rotating shaft is connected to the pressing structure so that the rotating shaft is detachably connected to the side wall of the mounting groove through the pressing structure.
[0032] In this way, by making a part of the pressing structure abut against the inner wall of the through hole, and further making a part of the pressing structure pass through the through hole and connect with the inner wall of the mounting groove, the connection stability between the pressing structure and the rotating structure can be improved, thereby improving the structural stability of the crown.
[0033] In one possible implementation, the pressing structure includes a pressing part and a connecting part;
[0034] The connecting part is connected to the pressing part, the outer side wall of the connecting part abuts against the inner side wall of the through hole, and the pressing part is detachably connected to the side wall of the mounting groove through the connecting part;
[0035] The connecting end of the rotating shaft is connected to the connecting part, and the connecting end is detachably connected to the side wall of the mounting groove through the connecting part.
[0036] In this way, by setting the pressing structure to consist of a pressing part and a connecting part, the number of parts of the pressing structure can be reduced, the pressing structure can be simplified, the manufacturing difficulty of the pressing structure can be reduced, the manufacturing efficiency of the pressing structure can be improved, and thus the assembly and production efficiency of the crown can be improved.
[0037] In one possible implementation, the outer peripheral surface of the connecting part has an external thread, and the inner sidewall of the mounting groove has an internal thread that mates with the external thread.
[0038] The connecting end of the rotating shaft and the connecting part are an integral structure.
[0039] In this way, by making the connecting end of the rotating shaft and the connecting part of the pressing structure an integral structure, the rotating shaft and the pressing structure can be integrated into one structure, and the rotating shaft can be detachably connected to the outer wall of the mounting groove through the connecting part of the pressing structure. This reduces the number of crown parts, facilitates crown assembly, and improves crown assembly efficiency.

[0060] This application provides a wearable device, which can be a smartwatch or a smart bracelet. This application uses a smartwatch as an example of a wearable device for explanation. A smartwatch may include a main body and a crown, which may have a rotating part and a pressing part. By operating the rotating part or the pressing part respectively, different operations and controls can be performed on the main body of the device.
[0061] refer to Figure 1To improve the recognizability of the rotating part 21 and the pressing part 22, an indicator layer that enhances recognizability can be added to the rotating part 21 and the pressing part 22 of the crown 2. The indicator layer can refer to at least one of the following: pattern, color, and shape. For example, the outer surfaces of the rotating part 21 and the pressing part 22 can have different colors; the outer surface of the rotating part 21 can be red, and the outer surface of the pressing part 22 can be black.
[0062] However, the manufacturing of the indicator layer on the rotating part 21 and pressing part 22 of the crown 2 in the above-mentioned related technologies is relatively complex and of poor quality, which affects the quality and production efficiency of the crown 2, and consequently affects the quality and production efficiency of the wearable device.
[0063] The reason for this problem is that the rotating part 21 and the pressing part 22 in the related technology are an integral structure, and the color on the outer surface of the rotating part 21 and the pressing part 22 is generated by PVD coating or anodizing. For example, if the color on the rotating part 21 and the pressing part 22 of the crown 2 is formed by anodizing, the specific process is as follows: first, a first color is attached to the entire outer surface of the crown 2, including the rotating part 21 and the pressing part 22, by anodizing, so that the outer surface of the rotating part 21 and the pressing part 22 are both formed with the first color. Then, the color attached to one of the pressing part 22 or the rotating part 21 is removed, and the part where the first color has not been removed is covered and protected. Then, the entire crown 2 is anodized a second time, and a second color is formed on the part where the first color has been removed, thereby achieving the formation of two different colors on the rotating part 21 and the pressing part 22.
[0064] Due to the anodizing coloring process, sandblasting is usually required before anodizing to improve the adhesion of the oxide film and enhance the corrosion resistance of the component. The aforementioned existing technology places high demands on the sandblasting and masking treatment before secondary anodizing, which is difficult to achieve with the small and complex design of the rotating crown 2, resulting in low yield and precision of the finished product. Furthermore, when the masking effect is poor, the method of preventing the area with the first color from being coated with the second color can lead to the masked area being stained with the second color. This causes color mixing and interference between the rotating part 21 and the pressing part 22, affecting the final product quality and yield of the crown 2, and consequently impacting the distinguishing effect between the pressing part 22 and the rotating part 21.
[0065] Therefore, it can be seen that the manufacturing of the indicator layer on the rotating part 21 and pressing part 22 of the crown 2 in the above-mentioned related technologies is relatively complicated and of poor quality, which affects the recognition effect of the rotating part 21 and pressing part 22, as well as the quality and production efficiency of the crown 2, and thus affects the quality and production efficiency of wearable devices.
[0066] refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 To address the aforementioned technical problems, this application provides a crown 12 and a wearable device 1. The crown 12, by providing a first indicator layer on the outer surface of the rotating structure 100 and a second indicator layer on the outer surface of the pressing structure 200, and making the first and second indicator layers different, enables the user to identify the rotating structure 100 and the pressing structure 200 on the crown 12 through the different first and second indicator layers. This improves the recognizability of the rotating structure 100 and the pressing structure 200, allowing the user to quickly find the part to be operated, thus improving the practicality of the crown 12 and the wearable device 1, and enhancing the user's experience with the wearable device 1.
[0067] Furthermore, by detachably connecting the rotating structure 100 and the pressing structure 200, it is easy to separately set the first indicator layer on the rotating structure 100 and the second indicator layer on the pressing structure 200. This avoids the situation in the prior art where the rotating structure 100 and the pressing structure 200 are an integral structure, where the first indicator layer and the second indicator layer would interfere with each other during setting. It also avoids the quality degradation of the first indicator layer and the second indicator layer due to mutual interference during setting. This simplifies the manufacturing process of the first indicator layer and the second indicator layer, improves the quality of the first indicator layer and the second indicator layer, ensures the recognizability of the rotating structure 100 and the pressing structure 200, and improves the production efficiency and quality of the crown 12, as well as the production efficiency and quality of the wearable device 1.
[0068] In addition, by detachably connecting the rotating structure 100 and the pressing structure 200, and detachably connecting the connecting end 310 of the rotating shaft 300 and the side wall of the mounting groove 130 of the rotating structure 100, it is also possible to facilitate the individual repair and replacement of the rotating structure 100, the pressing structure 200 and the rotating shaft 300, thereby reducing the maintenance and replacement cost of the crown 12.
[0069] In addition, by providing a first indicator layer on the rotating structure 100 and a second indicator layer on the pressing structure 200, and by providing different first and second indicator layers, the appearance of the crown 12 can be enriched and its aesthetics improved.
[0070] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of the embodiments of this application more apparent and understandable, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are merely some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0071] refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 This application provides a wearable device 1, which can be a windable mechanical watch, a quartz watch, a smartwatch, or a smart bracelet. This application uses a smartwatch as an example for description. The wearable watch may include a device body and a crown 12. The crown 12 is connected to the device body 11, and the device body 11 can be operated by rotating or pressing the crown 12. If the device body 11 has a display screen capable of displaying multiple applications, rotating the crown 12 allows switching between applications, and pressing the crown 12 allows selection, confirmation, and interface access.
[0072] In some embodiments, the wearable device 1 may further include a watch strap 13, which can be connected to the device body 11. The watch strap 13 is used to secure the device body 11 to the user's body, for example, by securing the device body 11 to the user's wrist, arm, or leg. The watch strap 13 improves the portability of the device body 11, thereby improving the portability and flexibility of the wearable device 1.
[0073] The crown 12 may include a detachably connected rotating structure 100 and a pressing structure 200. The rotating structure 100 can be used to operate the main body 11, and the pressing structure 200 can also be used to operate the main body 11. This can enrich the functions of the crown 12 and improve its practicality.
[0074] The rotating structure 100 and the pressing structure 200 have different indicator layers. For example, the rotating structure 100 has a first indicator layer and the pressing structure 200 has a second indicator layer. The first indicator layer is different from the second indicator layer. This can increase the recognizability of the rotating structure 100 and the pressing structure 200, making it easier for users to accurately locate the rotating structure 100 and the pressing structure 200 on the crown 12. This allows users to improve the ease of operation of the main body of the device 11 by accurately locating the rotating structure 100 and the pressing structure 200, thereby improving the usability and practicality of the wearable device 1.
[0075] refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 This application embodiment also provides a crown 12, which may include a rotating structure 100, a pressing structure 200, and a rotating shaft 300.
[0076] The rotating structure 100 has a first direction (e.g.) Figure 4 The rotating structure 100 has a first end 110 and a second end 120 (in the X direction), with the second end 120 having a mounting groove 130. The outer surface of the rotating structure 100 is provided with a first indicator layer. When the crown 12 is connected to the device body 11 of the wearable device 1, the first end 110 of the rotating structure 100 can face the outside away from the device body 11.
[0077] In some embodiments, the first indicator layer may be a pattern disposed on the outer surface of the rotating structure 100, or the first indicator layer may be a single color layer attached to the outer surface of the rotating structure 100, for example, the entire outer surface of the rotating structure 100 may be set to a single red color, and the red color layer is the first indicator layer.
[0078] In some embodiments, the first indicator layer can be applied to the outer surface of the rotating structure 100 by means of adhesive. Alternatively, if the rotating structure 100 is a metal structure and the first indicator layer is a single color layer, the first indicator layer can be attached to the outer surface of the rotating structure 100 by anodizing.
[0079] refer to Figure 4 The pressing structure 200 is detachably connected to the first end 110 of the rotating structure 100. The outer surface of the pressing structure 200 has a second indicator layer, and the first indicator layer and the second indicator layer are different.
[0080] In some embodiments, the second indicator layer may be a pattern disposed on the outer surface of the pressing structure 200, or the second indicator layer may be a single color layer attached to the outer surface of the pressing structure 200, for example, the entire outer surface of the pressing structure 200 may be set to a single black color layer, and the black color layer is the second indicator layer.
[0081] In some embodiments, the first indicator layer and the second indicator layer are different. If both the first indicator layer and the second indicator layer are single color layers, then the first indicator layer and the second indicator layer are different color layers, for example, the first indicator layer is red and the second indicator layer is black.
[0082] In some embodiments, the detachable connection between the pressing structure 200 and the rotating structure 100 can be such that the pressing structure 200 can be connected to the rotating structure 100 through a connecting part 230. The connecting part 230 can be a mating structure of a snap-fit member and a slot. The snap-fit member can be a snap block. The surface of the pressing structure 200 has a snap block, and the rotating structure 100 has a slot. The pressing structure 200 and the rotating structure 100 can be connected through the mating of the snap block and the slot.
[0083] Alternatively, the detachable connection between the pressing structure 200 and the rotating structure 100 can be achieved by welding the pressing structure 200 to the rotating structure 100. Furthermore, the detachable connection between the pressing structure 200 and the rotating structure 100 can be achieved by using a threaded connector.
[0084] This application provides a crown 12 and a wearable device 1. The crown 12 has a first indicator layer on the outer surface of the rotating structure 100 and a second indicator layer on the outer surface of the pressing structure 200. The first indicator layer and the second indicator layer are different, so that the user can identify the rotating structure 100 and the pressing structure 200 on the crown 12 through the different first indicator layer and the second indicator layer. This improves the recognizability of the rotating structure 100 and the pressing structure 200, so that the user can quickly find the part to be operated, improves the practicality of the crown 12, improves the practicality of the wearable device 1, and improves the user's experience of using the wearable device 1.
[0085] Furthermore, by detachably connecting the rotating structure 100 and the pressing structure 200, it is easy to separately set the first indicator layer on the rotating structure 100 and the second indicator layer on the pressing structure 200. This avoids the situation in the prior art where the rotating structure 100 and the pressing structure 200 are an integral structure, where the first indicator layer and the second indicator layer would interfere with each other during setting. It also avoids the quality degradation of the first indicator layer and the second indicator layer due to mutual interference during setting. This simplifies the manufacturing process of the first indicator layer and the second indicator layer, improves the manufacturing efficiency of the first indicator layer and the second indicator layer, and thus improves the production efficiency and quality of the crown 12 and the wearable device 1.
[0086] In addition, by providing a first indicator layer on the rotating structure 100 and a second indicator layer on the pressing structure 200, and by providing different first and second indicator layers, the appearance of the crown 12 can be enriched and its aesthetics improved.
[0087] In some embodiments, the rotating shaft 300 has a connecting end 310, which is located within the mounting groove 130 and is detachably connected to the side wall of the mounting groove 130.
[0088] By detachably connecting the rotating structure 100 and the pressing structure 200, and detachably connecting the connecting end 310 of the rotating shaft 300 and the side wall of the mounting groove 130 of the rotating structure 100, it is also possible to facilitate the individual repair and replacement of the rotating structure 100, the pressing structure 200 and the rotating shaft 300, thereby reducing the maintenance and replacement cost of the crown 12.
[0089] refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 In some embodiments, the first end 110 of the rotating structure 100 has a groove 111, and the pressing structure 200 is disposed in the groove 111. In some embodiments, the pressing structure 200 may be partially or completely located in the groove 111 in the depth direction of the groove 111. Figure 5 The example illustrates a case where a portion of the pressing structure 200 in the depth direction of the groove 111 is located within the groove 111, and the sidewall of the pressing structure 200 within the groove 111 abuts against the sidewall of the groove 111.
[0090] In this way, by setting the pressing structure 200 in the groove 111, the sidewall of the groove 111 can abut against the outer wall of the pressing structure 200. The sidewall of the groove 111 can abut and limit the outer wall of the pressing structure 200 in the direction perpendicular to the depth of the groove 111. Thus, the sidewall of the groove 111 can restrict the pressing structure 200 from moving or shaking in the direction perpendicular to the depth of the groove 111, thereby improving the connection stability between the pressing structure 200 and the rotating structure 100, and thus improving the structural stability of the crown 12.
[0091] Furthermore, by setting the groove 111 and placing the pressing structure 200 within the groove 111, the installation position of the pressing structure 200 on the rotating structure 100 can be positioned through the groove 111, which facilitates the installation of the pressing structure 200 in a fixed position on the rotating structure 100 and improves the assembly efficiency between the pressing structure 200 and the rotating structure 100.
[0092] In some embodiments, the pressing structure 200 can be installed in the groove 111 by means of interference fit, so as to improve the installation stability of the pressing structure 200 in the groove 111.
[0093] refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5In some embodiments, the first end 110 of the rotating structure 100 is provided with a through hole 140 that communicates with the mounting groove 130. Along the extending direction of the through hole 140, at least a portion of the pressing structure 200 is located in the through hole 140. The outer side wall of the pressing structure 200 is connected to the inner side wall of the through hole 140 so that the pressing structure 200 is connected to the rotating structure 100.
[0094] A portion of the pressing structure 200 can be connected to the inner wall of the through hole 140 by interference fit or by adhesive bonding. Alternatively, when a portion of the pressing structure 200 is disposed within the through hole 140, the pressing structure 200 can also be connected to the area of the rotating structure 100 near the through hole 140 by welding.
[0095] In this way, by setting a portion of the pressing structure 200 inside the through hole 140 and pressing the outer wall of the pressing structure 200 against the inner wall of the through hole 140, the pressing structure 200 can be pressed against the inner wall of the through hole 140 in the radial direction. On the one hand, the displacement of the pressing structure 200 in the radial direction of the through hole 140 can be restricted. On the other hand, the frictional resistance between the pressing structure 200 and the inner wall of the through hole 140 can also restrict the axial movement of the pressing structure 200 along the through hole 140, thereby improving the connection stability between the pressing structure 200 and the rotating structure 100.
[0096] refer to Figure 5 In some embodiments, the pressing structure 200 has a protrusion 210 on the side facing the through hole 140. The protrusion 210 passes through the through hole 140, and the outer wall of the protrusion 210 abuts against the inner peripheral wall of the through hole 140, so that the pressing structure 200 is connected to the rotating structure 100.
[0097] In some embodiments, the protrusion 210 provided on the mounting structure is installed in the through hole 140, and the outer side wall of the protrusion 210 abuts against the inner peripheral wall of the through hole 140 so as to clamp the outer side wall of the protrusion 210 through the inner peripheral wall of the through hole 140, thereby preventing the protrusion 210 from moving along the axial direction of the through hole 140 in the through hole 140, thereby improving the connection stability between the pressing structure 200 and the rotating structure 100, and thus improving the structural stability of the crown 12.
[0098] In some implementations, the protrusion 210 can be installed in the through hole 140 by interference fit, or the outer wall of the protrusion 210 and the inner peripheral wall of the through hole 140 can be connected by adhesive, or the outer wall of the protrusion 210 and the inner peripheral wall of the through hole 140 can also be connected by welding.
[0099] In other embodiments, the outer surface of the protrusion 210 may have an external thread, and the inner peripheral wall of the through hole 140 may have an internal thread that mates with the external thread on the outer surface of the protrusion 210. The protrusion 210 and the inner sidewall of the through hole 140 can be connected by a threaded engagement.
[0100] In some embodiments, if the through hole 140 can penetrate the bottom of the groove 111 and communicate with the mounting groove 130, then when the protrusion 210 is disposed in the through hole 140, the protrusion 210 can protrude out of the bottom of the mounting groove 130 and extend into the mounting groove 130, or the protrusion 210 can not protrude out of the bottom of the mounting groove 130.
[0101] In some embodiments, the connecting end 310 of the rotating shaft 300 can abut against the bottom of the mounting groove 130 to reduce the rotation of the rotating shaft 300 along the depth direction of the mounting groove 130 and improve the installation stability of the rotating shaft 300 in the mounting groove 130.
[0102] refer to Figure 5 In some embodiments, the protrusion 210 does not protrude from the surface where the bottom of the mounting groove 130 is located, and the end of the protrusion 210 facing the mounting groove 130 is welded to the end of the through hole 140 near the mounting groove 130.
[0103] In some embodiments, the end of the protrusion 210 facing the mounting groove 130 may be lower than the end of the through hole 140 facing the mounting groove 130, so that the protrusion 210 is completely located within the through hole 140. The end of the protrusion 210 facing the mounting groove 130 may also be flush with the surface of the end of the through hole 140 facing the mounting groove 130.
[0104] In this way, by preventing the protrusion 210 from protruding beyond the surface of the bottom of the mounting groove 130, the protrusion 210 can be prevented from extending into the mounting groove 130, thus preventing the protrusion 210 from occupying the space within the mounting groove 130. Consequently, the protrusion 210 on the pressing structure 200 can be prevented from affecting the connection end 310 of the rotating shaft 300 and its contact with the bottom of the mounting groove 130.
[0105] Furthermore, by welding the outer surface of the end of the protrusion 210 facing the mounting groove 130 to the inner edge of the through hole 140, the connection stability between the protrusion 210 and the wall of the through hole 140 can be improved, thereby improving the connection stability between the pressing structure 200 and the rotating structure 100, and improving the structural stability of the crown 12.
[0106] In some embodiments, if the end of the protrusion 210 facing the mounting groove 130 is lower than the end of the through hole 140 facing the mounting groove 130, so that the protrusion 210 is completely located inside the through hole 140, then the end of the protrusion 210 facing the mounting groove 130 can be welded to the inner peripheral wall of the through hole 140 near the end of the mounting groove 130.
[0107] If the end of the protrusion 210 facing the mounting groove 130 is flush with the end of the through hole 140 facing the mounting groove 130, then the outer edge of the end of the protrusion 210 facing the mounting groove 130 can be welded to the inner edge of the through hole 140 near the end of the mounting groove 130.
[0108] If the end of the protrusion 210 facing the mounting groove 130 and the end of the through hole 140 facing the mounting groove 130 are welded together with solder, the solder may protrude from the surface of the bottom of the mounting groove 130, thereby causing the welded structure formed by the solder to occupy the space inside the mounting groove 130 and affecting the contact between the connecting end 310 of the rotating shaft 300 and the bottom of the mounting groove 130.
[0109] refer to Figure 5 In some embodiments, the outer edge of the protrusion 210 facing the mounting groove 130 has a first chamfer 211, and the inner edge of the through hole 140 has a second chamfer 141 at a position corresponding to the first chamfer 211. The first chamfer 211 and the second chamfer 141 together form a receiving portion 212, which is used to receive the welded structure.
[0110] In this way, by providing a first chamfer 211 on the outer edge of the end of the protrusion 210 facing the mounting groove 130, and providing a second chamfer 141 on the inner edge of the through hole 140 at a position corresponding to the first chamfer 211, the outer sidewall of the protrusion 210 and the inner sidewall of the through hole 140 can form a receiving portion 212 at the first chamfer 211 and the second chamfer 141, and the welded structure formed after welding can be accommodated in the receiving portion 212. This ensures that the welded structure does not protrude from the surface where the bottom of the mounting groove 130 is located, and avoids the welded structure occupying the space inside the mounting groove 130.
[0111] It is understandable that the welded structure can be completely located within the receiving portion 212, or that a portion of the welded structure can protrude from the surface of the bottom of the mounting groove 130.
[0112] refer to Figure 5In some embodiments, the outer surface of the connecting end 310 of the rotating shaft 300 has an external thread, and the inner surface of the mounting groove 130 has an internal thread that mates with the external thread. The connecting end 310 and the rotating structure 100 are connected by a thread. For example, the external thread can be provided on the outer peripheral wall of the connecting end 310, and the internal thread that mates with the external thread can be provided on the inner sidewall of the mounting groove 130, so that the outer sidewall of the connecting end 310 and the inner sidewall of the mounting groove 130 are connected by a threaded engagement.
[0113] In this way, by providing an external thread on the outer surface of the connecting end 310 and an internal thread that mates with the external thread on the inner surface of the mounting groove 130, the rotating shaft 300 and the rotating structure 100 can be connected by threads. The threaded connection facilitates the disassembly and reassembly of the rotating shaft 300 and the rotating structure 100, and also improves the connection stability between the rotating structure 100 and the rotating shaft 300.
[0114] refer to Figure 5 In some embodiments, the surface of the connecting end 310 facing the pressing structure 200 is connected to the bottom of the mounting groove 130.
[0115] Thus, with the outer surface of the connecting end 310 having an external thread and the inner surface of the mounting groove 130 having an internal thread that mates with the external thread, and the connecting end 310 and the inner surface of the mounting groove 130 being connected by the mating of the external and internal threads, by connecting the surface of the connecting end 310 facing the pressing structure 200 to the bottom of the mounting groove 130, the connection stability between the connecting end 310 and the inner wall of the mounting groove 130 can be further improved, thereby improving the connection stability between the rotating shaft 300 and the rotating structure 100, and improving the structural stability of the crown 12.
[0116] In some embodiments, an adhesive may be applied to the surfaces of the external and internal threads to further improve the connection stability between the connection end 310 and the wall of the mounting groove 130, thereby improving the connection stability between the rotating shaft 300 and the rotating structure 100.
[0117] In other embodiments, sealing material may be provided on the surfaces of the external and internal threads to seal the gap between the external and internal threads when they are connected. This improves the sealing performance at the mating point between the connecting end 310 and the side wall of the mounting groove 130, thereby improving the sealing performance at the connection between the rotating shaft 300 and the rotating structure 100.
[0118] refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6In some embodiments, the diameter of the through hole 140 can be greater than or equal to the inner diameter of the mounting groove 130. Alternatively, the diameter of the through hole 140 can be smaller than the inner diameter of the mounting groove 130. For example, when the first end 110 of the rotating structure 100 has a groove 111, the through hole 140 can be disposed on the bottom wall of the groove 111, the diameter of the through hole 140 can be smaller than the inner diameter of the mounting groove 130, a portion of the pressing structure 200 is located in the groove 111, and another portion of the pressing structure 200 can pass through the through hole 140.
[0119] refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 In other embodiments, the rotating shaft 300 can also be connected to the rotating structure 100 indirectly. For example, the rotating shaft 300 can be indirectly connected to the rotating structure 100 through the pressing structure 200. When the pressing structure 200 and the rotating structure 100 are detachably connected, the rotating shaft 300 can be detachably connected to the rotating structure 100 through the pressing structure 200.
[0120] refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 In some embodiments, the diameter of the through hole 140 is greater than or equal to the inner diameter of the mounting groove 130, and a portion of the pressing structure 200 passes through the through hole 140 and is detachably connected to the sidewall of the mounting groove 130. The rotating shaft 300 is connected to the pressing structure 200 so that the rotating shaft 300 is detachably connected to the sidewall of the mounting groove 130 through the pressing structure 200.
[0121] In this way, by making a portion of the pressing structure 200 abut against the inner wall of the through hole 140, and further making a portion of the pressing structure 200 pass through the through hole 140 and connect to the inner wall of the mounting groove 130, the connection stability between the pressing structure 200 and the rotating structure 100 can be improved, thereby improving the structural stability of the crown 12.
[0122] refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 In some embodiments, the pressing structure 200 includes a pressing part 220 and a connecting part 230. The connecting part 230 is connected to the pressing part 220, and the outer side wall of the connecting part 230 abuts against the inner side wall of the through hole 140. The pressing part 220 is detachably connected to the side wall of the mounting groove 130 through the connecting part 230. The connecting end 310 of the rotating shaft 300 is connected to the connecting part 230, and the connecting end 310 is detachably connected to the side wall of the mounting groove 130 through the connecting part 230.
[0123] In this way, by setting the pressing structure 200 to a structure consisting of a pressing part 220 and a connecting part 230, the number of parts of the pressing structure 200 can be reduced, the pressing structure 200 can be simplified, the manufacturing difficulty of the pressing structure 200 can be reduced, the manufacturing efficiency of the pressing structure 200 can be improved, and thus the assembly and production efficiency of the crown 12 can be improved.
[0124] refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 In some embodiments, the outer peripheral surface of the connecting part 230 has an external thread, the inner sidewall of the mounting groove 130 has an internal thread that mates with the external thread, and the connecting end 310 of the rotating shaft 300 and the connecting part 230 are integrally formed.
[0125] In this way, by setting the connecting end 310 of the rotating shaft 300 and the connecting part 230 of the pressing structure 200 as an integral structure, the rotating shaft 300 and the pressing structure 200 can form an integral structure, and the rotating shaft 300 can be detachably connected to the outer side wall of the mounting groove 130 through the connecting part 230 of the pressing structure 200. This reduces the number of parts of the crown 12, facilitates the assembly of the crown 12, and improves the assembly efficiency of the crown 12.
[0126] refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 In some embodiments, both the pressing structure 200 and the rotating structure 100 can be metal structural components, such as aluminum alloy structural components or stainless steel structural components.
[0127] refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 In some embodiments, the device body 11 has a mounting hole for mounting a rotating shaft 300 for mounting a crown 12. The crown 12 may also include a bar tube 400. The rotating shaft 300 passes through the bar tube 400. When the rotating shaft 300 passes through the mounting hole on the device body 11, the bar tube 400 is located between the rotating shaft 300 and the inner wall of the mounting hole. The bar tube 400 can be used to seal the gap between the rotating shaft 300 and the inner wall of the mounting hole, preventing external liquids or dust from entering the device body 11 through the gap between the rotating shaft 300 and the mounting hole, thereby improving the sealing performance of the wearable device 1.
