Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of smartwatch technology, and in particular to a wristwatch for real-time monitoring of human health status. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing popularity of smart wearable devices, smartwatches have become a focus of attention for many consumers due to their convenience and multifunctionality. They not only display the time and receive notifications, but also integrate a wealth of sensors to monitor various physiological data, such as heart rate, blood oxygen saturation, steps taken, and sleep patterns, playing an important role in health management and activity tracking.

[0003] However, smartwatches face a significant challenge in achieving accuracy in acquiring human body data: the difficulty of perfectly fitting the wearer's wrist in real time. The shape and size of the human wrist vary from person to person, and in daily activities, the wrist constantly flexes, extends, and rotates, its shape constantly changing. Traditional smartwatch band designs mostly use fixed sizes or limited adjustment ranges, unable to adaptively adjust to the real-time shape of different wrists. When the smartwatch does not fit snugly against the wrist, the contact pressure between the sensors and the skin is unstable, potentially resulting in gaps or loosening. In scenarios such as exercise and sleep, and under the influence of environmental factors such as sweat and low temperatures, the difficulty in achieving a real-time fit with the wrist causes deviations in the human body data collected by the sensors, such as heart rate, sleep, and skin temperature. This severely restricts data accuracy and limits its in-depth application in health monitoring and precision medicine. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a wristwatch for real-time monitoring of human health status. The device achieves adaptive adjustment of the smartwatch strap according to the real-time shape of different wrists through a simple structure, so as to ensure stable contact between the smartwatch sensor and human skin.

[0005] The objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0006] A wristwatch for real-time monitoring of human health status, comprising:

[0007] The watch case includes the case back and the case back, with the case back covering the bottom of the case.

[0008] Human body parameter monitoring sensors are installed inside the instrument.

[0009] The watch strap has two ends connected to the watch case, and an elastic component is connected to the middle of the strap. The elastic component is positioned opposite the back cover and is used to compress the wrist pulse area to force the back of the wrist to fit against the back cover.

[0010] Furthermore, the watch strap has a mounting cavity, and the elastic component is installed inside the mounting cavity.

[0011] Furthermore, the leather layer of the watch strap that contacts human skin and encloses the mounting cavity is the inner deformation layer, and the leather layer on the watch strap that encloses the mounting cavity and is disposed opposite to the inner deformation layer is the outer support layer. The elastic component is in a compressed state, and the two ends of the elastic component elastically squeeze the inner deformation layer and the outer support layer respectively.

[0012] Furthermore, the stiffness of the inner deformation layer is less than that of the outer support layer.

[0013] Furthermore, the elastic component includes multiple independent telescopic springs, which are spaced apart from each other, with their two ends abutting against the outer support layer and the inner deformation layer, respectively.

[0014] Furthermore, a bendable partition is provided inside the mounting cavity. The outer support layer and the inner deformation layer are respectively connected to opposite sides of the bendable partition. The bendable partition is located between two adjacent telescopic springs.

[0015] Furthermore, the telescopic spring is a laminated spring.

[0016] Furthermore, the two ends of the laminated spring are fixed to the outer support layer and the inner deformation layer, respectively.

[0017] Furthermore, a pressure sensor is embedded in the inner deformation layer, and a signal line is embedded inside the strap, with the two ends of the signal line connected to the pressure sensor and the controller inside the watch case, respectively.

[0018] Furthermore, the human body parameter monitoring sensor is an electrocardiogram sensor and / or a blood pressure monitoring sensor and / or a temperature sensor and / or a photoplethysmography sensor.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0020] By using an elastic component in the middle of the strap that is opposite to the back cover and can compress the wrist pulse area, the strap can adaptively adjust to different wrist shapes in real time. This ensures stable contact between the human parameter monitoring sensor and the human skin, thus solving the problem that smartwatches cannot fit snugly against the wearer's wrist in real time. This guarantees the accuracy of the monitoring data and provides a reliable guarantee for real-time monitoring of human health status. Attached Figure Description

[0027] It should be noted that when an element is described as being "fixed to" another element, it can be directly attached to the other element or there may be an intervening element. When an element is described as being "connected to" another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or there may be an intervening element. The terms "vertical," "horizontal," "left," "right," and similar expressions used herein are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent the only possible implementations.

[0028] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein in the specification of the invention is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0029] See Figure 1 , Figure 1 The diagram shows a structural schematic of a wristwatch for real-time monitoring of human health status according to an embodiment of this application. The wristwatch for real-time monitoring of human health status according to an embodiment of this application includes: a watch body 1 and a watch strap 2.

[0030] The watch body 1 includes a case 11 and a back cover 12, with the back cover 12 sealing the bottom of the case 11;

[0031] Human body parameter monitoring sensor 13 is installed inside the watch body 1;

[0032] The two ends of the watch strap 2 are connected to the watch case 11, and the middle of the watch strap 2 is connected to an elastic component 21. The elastic component 21 is disposed opposite to the bottom cover 12. The elastic component 21 is used to squeeze the wrist pulse area to force the back of the wrist to fit against the bottom cover 12.

[0033] Specifically, the watch body 1 includes a case 11 and a back cover 12. The back cover 12 covers the bottom of the case 11 and protects the internal components of the watch body 1. A human parameter monitoring sensor 13 installed inside the watch body 1 can monitor human health-related parameters such as heart rate, blood pressure, and blood oxygen saturation in real time, thereby allowing for timely monitoring of the wearer's physical condition. The watch strap 2 connects to the case 11 at both ends, and has an elastic component 21 in the middle that is opposite to the back cover 12. When the wearer puts on the watch, the elastic component 21 compresses the wrist pulse area, causing the back of the wrist to fit snugly against the back cover 12.

[0034] By using the elastic component 21 in the middle of the strap 2, which is opposite to the bottom cover 12 and can compress the wrist pulse area, the strap 2 achieves the effect of adaptive adjustment according to the real-time shape of different wrists. This makes the human parameter monitoring sensor 13 in stable contact with human skin, thus solving the problem that smartwatches are difficult to fit closely to the wearer's wrist in real time. This ensures the accuracy of the monitoring data and provides a reliable guarantee for real-time monitoring of human health status.

[0035] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the watch strap 2 has a mounting cavity 22, and the elastic component 21 is installed in the mounting cavity 22.

[0036] Specifically, the watch strap 2 has a mounting cavity 22 inside, and the elastic component 21 is located inside the mounting cavity 22. This design effectively protects the elastic component 21 from external impacts, friction, or other damage during daily use, thereby extending the service life of the elastic component 21 and ensuring that it can always function properly to compress the wrist pulse. On the other hand, hiding the elastic component 21 inside the mounting cavity 22 makes the appearance of the watch strap 2 more concise and neat, and will not affect the overall aesthetics and wearing comfort of the watch due to the exposure of the elastic component 21. It also helps to improve the stability of the watch strap 2 structure.

[0037] Furthermore, the leather layer of the watch strap 2 that is in contact with human skin and surrounds the mounting cavity 22 is the inner deformation layer 23, and the leather layer on the watch strap 2 that surrounds the mounting cavity 22 and is disposed opposite to the inner deformation layer 23 is the outer support layer 24. The elastic component 21 is in a compressed state, and the two ends of the elastic component 21 elastically squeeze the inner deformation layer 23 and the outer support layer 24 respectively.

[0038] Specifically, when the elastic component 21 is compressed, both ends of the elastic component 21 apply elastic compressive forces to the inner deformation layer 23 and the outer support layer 24, respectively. Because the inner deformation layer 23 is in direct contact with the skin and is compressed by the elastic component 21, it can better adapt to different wrist contours, achieving a close fit to the wrist. The outer support layer 24 provides a stable supporting reaction force to the elastic component 21 on the opposite side, ensuring that the elastic component 21 can still function stably in the compressed state, maintaining the mechanical balance of the entire strap 2 structure during the compression of the wrist. This ensures both the comfort of wearing the watch and that the elastic component 21 can effectively force the back of the wrist to fit against the back cover 12 for accurate health monitoring.

[0039] Furthermore, the stiffness of the inner deformation layer 23 is less than the stiffness of the outer support layer 24.

[0040] Specifically, the inner deformation layer 23, due to its low stiffness, can softly and flexibly conform to the shape of the wrist when in contact with the skin, making it comfortable to wear and facilitating accurate monitoring. The outer support layer 24, with its greater stiffness, provides stable support for the elastic component 21, maintaining structural integrity and stability, and preventing excessive deformation of the strap 2 from affecting the compression of the elastic component 21 and the use of the watch. The two work together to optimize the watch's performance and wearing experience.

[0041] Furthermore, the elastic component 21 includes multiple independent telescopic springs, which are spaced apart from each other, with the two ends of each telescopic spring abutting against the outer support layer 24 and the inner deformation layer 23, respectively.

[0042] Specifically, the elastic component 21 in the watch strap 2 consists of multiple independent telescopic springs. These telescopic springs are arranged alternately, a layout that allows the elastic force to be distributed more evenly and stably in the area where the strap 2 contacts the wrist. In this structure, the two ends of the telescopic springs are tightly abutting against the outer support layer 24 and the inner deformation layer 23, respectively. When the strap 2 is worn on the wrist, the wrist pulse exerts pressure on the inner deformation layer 23. This pressure is transmitted to the telescopic springs, which, due to their elastic properties, undergo corresponding deformation and accumulate elastic potential energy. This energy then exerts an elastic compressive force on the outer support layer 24 and the inner deformation layer 23. This compressive force not only ensures that the back of the wrist fits tightly against the watch case back 12, creating favorable conditions for the internal human body parameter monitoring sensor 13 to obtain accurate data, but also that the design of multiple independent telescopic springs can effectively adapt to differences in wrist size and shape, improving the comfort and applicability of the watch.

[0043] Furthermore, a bendable partition 211 is provided inside the mounting cavity 22. The outer support layer 24 and the inner deformation layer 23 are respectively connected to opposite sides of the bendable partition 211. The bendable partition 211 is located between two adjacent telescopic springs.

[0044] Specifically, a bendable partition 211 is installed within the mounting cavity 22 of the watch strap 2 to isolate two adjacent telescopic springs, preventing them from tangling. The opposite sides of this bendable partition 211 are firmly connected to the outer support layer 24 and the inner deformation layer 23, respectively. Its function is that when the watch strap 2 bends with wrist movement, the bendable partition 211 can flexibly change its shape according to the degree of wrist flexion, effectively guiding the outer support layer 24 and the inner deformation layer 23 to deform together. This ensures that the elastic component 21 maintains a stable working state during the bending process of the watch strap 2, allowing the elastic force to be evenly applied to the wrist pulse. This maintains a stable compression effect on the wrist to ensure the accuracy of monitoring data, while also enhancing the overall stability and durability of the watch strap 2 structure. It prevents damage or deformation of the internal structure of the watch strap 2 due to frequent bending, thereby improving the reliability and comfort of the watch in daily use.

[0045] Furthermore, the extension spring is a laminated leaf spring 212.

[0046] Specifically, the telescopic spring in the elastic component 21 is a laminated spring 212. The laminated spring 212 is composed of multiple stacked spring plates, a structure that gives it unique advantages. Compared to ordinary springs, when the laminated spring 212 is compressed or stretched, the spring plates slide and rub against each other, effectively suppressing spring vibration and resonance, thus making the output of elastic force more stable and uniform. In the watch strap 2, the laminated spring 212 abuts against the outer support layer 24 and the inner deformation layer 23 at both ends. When wrist movement causes pressure changes, the laminated spring 212, with its characteristics, can stably apply elastic force to the strap 2, ensuring a tight fit between the back of the wrist and the watch case back 12, while also reducing fluctuations in monitoring data caused by unstable spring extension and contraction. This greatly improves the accuracy and reliability of human health parameter monitoring. Furthermore, the relatively compact structure of the laminated spring 212 facilitates reasonable layout within the limited mounting cavity 22 of the strap 2, enhancing the overall design rationality and effectiveness of the strap 2. The laminated spring 212 will not become entangled due to excessive compression.

[0047] Furthermore, the two ends of the laminated spring 212 are fixed to the outer support layer 24 and the inner deformation layer 23, respectively.

[0048] Specifically, the laminated spring 212 used in the watch strap 2 is securely fixed at both ends to the outer support layer 24 and the inner deformation layer 23, respectively. On one hand, this ensures the stability of the laminated spring 212 within the strap 2 structure, preventing it from easily shifting or loosening due to daily wrist movements or external impacts. This allows it to consistently and accurately exert its elastic force, providing just the right amount of pressure to the strap 2, ensuring a good fit between the wrist pulse point and the case back 12, laying a solid foundation for accurate monitoring of human health parameters. On the other hand, the fixed connection facilitates effective force transmission. When wrist movement causes the inner deformation layer 23 to deform under pressure, the force can be efficiently transmitted to the laminated spring 212 through the fixed end, causing it to undergo corresponding elastic deformation. This, in turn, evenly distributes the reaction force between the outer support layer 24 and the inner deformation layer 23, maintaining the mechanical balance of the strap 2 structure. This ensures the watch operates normally in various usage scenarios, improving the overall reliability and durability of the watch.

[0049] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 As shown, a pressure sensor 25 is embedded in the inner deformation layer 23, and a signal line is embedded inside the strap 2. The two ends of the signal line are connected to the pressure sensor 25 and the controller inside the watch case 11, respectively.

[0050] Specifically, the pressure sensor 25 embedded in the inner deformation layer 23 can sensitively detect pressure changes at the wrist and caused by the compression of the elastic component 21 during wear. A signal cable laid inside the strap 2 is tightly connected at one end to the pressure sensor 25 and precisely connected at the other end to the controller inside the watch case 11, thus efficiently and accurately transmitting pressure data to the controller. The controller uses this data to deeply analyze the pressure state at the wrist, effectively preventing blood circulation obstruction due to an overly tight strap 2. In other words, if pressure exceeds the normal range, the watch will immediately notify the wearer through vibration, display alerts, and other means. Furthermore, by integrating other data collected by the human body parameter monitoring sensor 13, a comprehensive assessment of the wearer's physical condition is achieved, providing a solid and powerful support system for accurate and detailed real-time monitoring of human health.

[0051] Furthermore, the human parameter monitoring sensor 13 is an electrocardiogram sensor and / or a blood pressure monitoring sensor and / or a temperature sensor and / or a photoplethysmography sensor.

[0052] Specifically, this real-time health monitoring wristwatch is equipped with a wide variety of human parameter monitoring sensors 13. Among them, the electrocardiogram (ECG) sensor accurately captures the weak signals generated by the heart's electrical activity. Analysis of these ECG signals provides in-depth understanding of important information such as heart rhythm and myocardial health, offering crucial evidence for early warning of cardiovascular diseases. The blood pressure monitoring sensor focuses on measuring blood pressure, both systolic and diastolic, in real-time, helping to detect abnormal blood pressure fluctuations and significantly contributing to the prevention and control of diseases such as hypertension. The temperature sensor sensitively detects subtle changes in body surface temperature, playing an indispensable role in determining the presence of inflammatory responses such as fever and the normality of body temperature regulation. The photoplethysmography (PPG) sensor utilizes the principle of light reflection to detect changes in blood volume, thereby calculating indicators such as heart rate and blood oxygen saturation, providing strong support for a comprehensive assessment of the functional status of the circulatory and respiratory systems. These different types of sensors can be used individually or combined as needed to meet the requirements for comprehensive and accurate monitoring of various human health parameters.
