[0032] Please refer to the following: Figures 1 to 4 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of the revealed smart ring; Figure 2 yes Figure 1 The structural breakdown diagram of the revealed smart ring; Figure 3 yes Figure 1 The revealed cross-sectional view of the smart ring; Figure 4 yes Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the circuit components shown.

[0033] The smart ring device 100 includes a housing assembly 10 with an annular cavity and a circuit assembly 20, wherein the circuit assembly 20 is disposed within the annular cavity of the housing assembly 10.

[0034] In one embodiment, the housing assembly 10 includes an outer ring 101 and an inner ring 102. The outer ring 101 and the inner ring 102 can be integrally formed to encapsulate the circuit assembly 20 in the annular cavity of the housing assembly 10. The integrally formed structure is simple to process and has high structural strength.

[0035] In another embodiment, the housing assembly 10 includes a detachably connected outer ring 101 and an inner ring 102. The outer ring 101 is annular in shape. The inner ring 102 is adapted to the shape of the outer ring 101. The outer ring 101 includes a sidewall and a wall surface, which together form the annular cavity. The sidewall is annular in shape, and the sidewall represents the depth of the annular cavity. The circuit assembly 20 is installed within the annular cavity. The following discussion uses the housing assembly 10 of this embodiment as an example.

[0036] The outer ring 101 can be made of metal or non-metal, with no specific limitation. When the outer ring 101 is made of metal, such as stainless steel, titanium alloy, or aluminum alloy, it has high mechanical strength and can withstand external impacts such as daily drops and collisions, protecting the internal circuit components 20 from damage. When the outer ring 101 is made of non-metal, such as plastic, glass, ceramic, rubber, or nanomaterials, etc., in this embodiment, the outer ring 101 is preferably made of ceramic material. The ceramic material used can increase the sensitivity and stability of the electric field sensing of the electrode and is less likely to cause significant interference to signal transmission and reception.

[0037] The inner ring 102 is made of a transparent or semi-transparent material, and there is no specific limitation. In this embodiment, the inner ring 102 is filled with resin material to facilitate light transmission.

[0038] The circuit assembly 20 includes a circuit board 201, two electrodes 202, and a light-emitting unit 203. The electrodes 202 are mounted on the circuit board 201 and have an elliptical central portion. The elliptical design of the electrodes 202 helps to optimize the electric field distribution, reduce edge effects, and improve the electrical performance of the electrodes 202.

[0039] The length of the electrode 202 extends between opposite ends, the width of the electrode 202 extends between opposite sides, and the height of the electrode 202 extends between opposite upper and lower sides. The length of the electrode ranges from 3 mm to 10 mm, the width of the electrode ranges from 0.5 mm to 4 mm, and the height of the electrode ranges from 0.5 mm to 5 mm. In this embodiment, preferably, the length of the electrode 202 is set to 6 mm, the width of the electrode 202 is set to 3 mm, and the height of the electrode 202 is set to 4 mm, so that it has high structural strength and can withstand a certain pressure without easily deforming or being damaged.

[0040] The height of the electrode 202 is greater than the depth of the annular cavity. The electrode 202 is sandwiched between the first inner surface 1011 and the second inner surface 1021, and the outer surface of the electrode 202 is flush with or slightly higher than the second inner surface 1021. On the one hand, this facilitates full contact between the electrode 202 and the charging post of the charging device 300, ensuring that the smart ring device 100 and the charging post of the charging device 300 are paired for charging. On the other hand, the height of the electrode 202 is greater than the depth of the annular cavity, so that the electrode 202 can be firmly fixed in the annular cavity by pressing during installation, preventing loosening or falling off.

[0041] It should be noted that the first inner surface 1011 is the side of the outer ring 101 that is close to the finger wearing the smart ring device 100, and the second surface 1021 is the side of the inner ring 102 that is away from the finger wearing the smart ring device 100.

[0042] It is understood that the depth of the annular cavity is between 0.1 mm and 0.4 mm. Setting the depth of the annular cavity to no more than 0.4 mm makes the circuit assembly 20 inside the housing assembly 10 smaller in size and easier to carry.

[0043] The electrode 202 is made of stainless iron or a surface-plated material, with no specific limitation. In this example, preferably, the electrode 202 is made of stainless iron, which serves two purposes: firstly, it is used for magnetic positioning with the electrodes of the charging device, and secondly, it is corrosion-resistant and has a long service life.

[0044] The outer ring 101 has a first inner surface 1011, and the inner ring 102 has a second inner surface 1021. The light-emitting unit 203 of the circuit assembly 20 is sandwiched between the first inner surface 1011 and the second inner surface 1021, and the light-emitting unit 203 is attached to the second inner surface 1021. The height of the light-emitting unit 203 allows it to be installed between the outer ring 101 and the inner ring 102 without exceeding the inner surface of the inner ring 102, so as to form a smooth curved surface and ensure the compactness and stability of the overall structure.

[0045] The circuit board 201 includes a plurality of electronic components 2013, a rigid circuit board 2011, and a flexible connector 2012. The electronic components 2013, the electrodes 202, and the light-emitting unit 203 are mounted on the rigid circuit board 2011. The number of rigid circuit boards 2011 is greater than or equal to 3, and the rigid circuit boards 2011 provide stable support. The flexible connector 2012 is disposed between the rigid circuit boards 2011 to facilitate the expansion and maintenance of the rigid circuit boards 2011.

[0046] The light-emitting unit 203 is disposed between adjacent electrodes 202. The light-emitting unit 203 has a height that extends between the upper and lower sides of the light-emitting unit itself. The height of the light-emitting unit 203 is less than the height of the electrode 202 and the height of the light-emitting unit 203 is less than or equal to the depth of the annular cavity.

[0047] The electrode 202 includes a first electrode and a second electrode. The first electrode is mounted on the outer side of one end of the rigid circuit board 2011, and the second electrode is mounted on the outer side of the other end of the rigid circuit board 2011. The first and second electrodes are symmetrically distributed on the same rigid circuit board 2011, and the light-emitting unit 203 is disposed between the first and second electrodes. It is understood that the length of the rigid circuit board 2011 extends between its opposite ends. The outer side of one end of the rigid circuit board 2011 is adjacent to one of the flexible connectors 2012, and the outer side of the other end of the rigid circuit board 2011 is adjacent to another flexible connector 2012. Because the height of the first and second electrodes is greater than the height of the light-emitting unit 203, they form a physical barrier on both sides of the light-emitting unit 203, effectively focusing and guiding the light emitted by the light-emitting unit 203. This reduces light scattering and loss, allowing the light to propagate more concentratedly towards the target direction, thereby improving light efficiency.

[0048] It should be noted that the light-emitting unit 203 includes LED lights, OLED lights, or diodes, etc., and there is no specific limitation. It can display red light, green light, and infrared light.

[0049] The inner ring 102 is provided with at least two protrusions 1022, and the light-emitting unit 203 is disposed between the protrusions 1022. The protrusions 1022 are correspondingly arranged with the sensing unit 204, which facilitates the improvement of the signal acquisition effectiveness of the sensing unit 204, especially the light signal. Furthermore, the provision of two spaced protrusions 1022 in the inner ring 102 can improve the data accuracy when the user deflects to a certain extent while wearing the wearable device. The material of the protrusions 1022 can be resin, plastic, silicone, rubber, etc., and there is no specific limitation.

[0050] The circuit assembly 20 further includes a power supply unit 206, a sensing unit 204, and a signal unit 205. The power supply unit 206 is electrically connected to the circuit board 201, the signal unit 205 is mounted on the circuit board 201, and the signal unit 205 is electrically connected to the sensing unit 204.

[0051] In this embodiment, the power supply unit 206 is an arc-shaped battery, and the sensing unit 204 is mounted on and electrically connected to the circuit board 201. The sensing unit 204 includes sensors such as a Bluetooth chip, a Bluetooth antenna, a PPG optical monitoring module, a motion sensor, a charging management chip, and a temperature sensor. Users can configure these sensors according to their needs to achieve human-computer interaction. Specifically, the Bluetooth chip and Bluetooth antenna are used for wireless communication, supporting data transmission with other terminal devices such as smart rings. The PPG optical monitoring module uses optical sensors to monitor physiological signals such as heart rate and blood oxygen. The motion sensor detects the body's movement state, such as steps and acceleration. The charging management chip manages the battery charging process to ensure safe and efficient charging. The temperature sensor detects the body's temperature. In use, the circuit assembly 20 is powered by the power supply unit 206, collects various human data such as physiological signals, movement state, and body temperature through the sensing unit 204, and realizes data transmission and human-computer interaction functions through the signal unit 205.

[0052] Please see Figure 5 and Figure 6 , Figure 5 This is a structural diagram of the first angle of the combination of a smart ring and a charging device. Figure 6 This is a second-angle structural diagram of the smart ring combined with a charging device. The smart ring device 1000 includes a smart ring assembly 100 and a charging device 300. In use, the user's hand is pressed against the inner ring 102. After wearing, the user's hand is pressed against the protrusion 1022. The sensing unit 204 within the protrusion 1022 can collect the user's body data and realize data transmission and human-computer interaction functions through the signal unit 205. The user can view relevant body data, such as heart rate, blood oxygen, and steps, on a mobile phone or tablet. When not in use, simply align the electrode 202 with the charging port 301 of the charging device 200 to complete charging. In this embodiment, the charging port 301 uses magnetic electrodes, and the electrodes within the charging port are connected to a magnet.

[0053] Compared to existing technologies, by setting an electrode 202 on the smart ring device 100 that is deeper than the annular cavity, and the electrode 202 being magnetically conductive, protruding from the inner ring 102 near the finger, when the smart ring device 100 is brought close to the charging interface 301 of the charging device 300, the magnetic attraction will align the electrode 202 on the smart ring device 100 with the charging interface 301, allowing the user to charge without strict alignment, greatly simplifying the charging process. After the electrode 202 contacts the charging interface 301, a closed circuit is formed, and current is directly transmitted through the charging interface 301, avoiding the conversion losses of wireless charging and improving charging efficiency. This technical solution supports smart rings 100 of different sizes sharing the same charging device. Whether it's a small or large ring, stable charging can be achieved through magnetic positioning, reducing the need for users to purchase multiple charging devices and lowering usage costs.

[0054] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and does not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the content of this utility model specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
