Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wearables, and more particularly to a ring. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, there are many types of smart wearable devices, such as smart data gloves, smart clothing, smart bracelets, smartwatches, and smart jewelry. As smart wearable devices move towards lighter designs, smart rings have also emerged, incorporating buttons within the ring for remote control. Therefore, ring-style remote controls are a type of remote control, representing a new type with advantages such as compact structure, portability, and ease of use. However, existing remote control rings often integrate the buttons into the ring itself, resulting in a larger ring size and inconvenient operation; furthermore, the remote control component is not detachable, making the ring too heavy and uncomfortable to wear when the remote control is not needed.

[0003] Chinese Patent Publication No. CN220933460U relates to a ring mouse with a novel structure. The ring-shaped body is divided into a first shell and a second shell, with an internal cavity containing a control circuit and a battery. The control circuit adopts a design combining a flexible circuit board and a rigid circuit board. The flexible circuit board is connected to the rigid circuit board, which is mounted on the first shell. Due to the large number of integrated electronic components on the rigid circuit board and the limited space in the cavity, the rigid circuit board is divided into three parts: left, middle, and right, to better utilize the cavity space. The left side of the ring-shaped body has upper and lower touch buttons, corresponding to the left and right mouse buttons, allowing for left and right button control with a simple thumb touch. A three-axis accelerometer and a three-axis gyroscope are used to acquire motion data of the ring-shaped body, converting the motion data into cursor control commands, scroll wheel up commands, and scroll wheel down commands, making the ring mouse closer to a traditional optical mouse. This patent integrates the buttons into the ring body, resulting in a larger ring body and greater weight when worn.

[0004] Chinese Patent Publication No. CN220400064U discloses a novel ring remote control with a button structure, including a lower housing, an upper cover plate connected above the lower housing, and a ring ring integrally connected below the lower housing. A PCB board and a battery located below the PCB board are fixedly installed in the cavity formed between the lower housing and the upper cover plate. Seven keycaps and a signal transmitter are fixedly installed on the upper surface of the PCB board. A contact point is provided at one end of the lower surface of the PCB board, with two contacts respectively contacting the positive and negative terminals of the battery. A keycap holder is snapped into the top of the upper cover plate, and the keycap holder has a No. 1 button, No. 2 button, up button, down button, left button, right button, and OK button. This utility model discloses a ring remote control with a novel button structure. The button structure of the ring remote control is designed according to ergonomics, preventing accidental button presses and making it convenient to use. The upper surface of the upper cover plate is either curved or flat to meet different usage requirements. However, this patent also integrates the remote control part into the ring, which results in a large ring size and inconvenient operation, limiting the applicable scenarios for the remote control. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem this invention aims to solve is that existing remote-controlled rings often integrate the button into the ring itself, resulting in a large ring size and inconvenient operation; furthermore, the remote control part cannot be detached, making the ring too heavy and uncomfortable to wear when the remote control is not needed. To address these shortcomings of the prior art, this invention provides a new type of ring.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0007] A ring is constructed, comprising a ring body and a button module connected to the ring body. The ring body includes an annular portion, an insertion portion is provided within the annular portion, and a fixing hole is also provided on the annular portion. The button module includes a button housing, a control board disposed within the button housing, and a lower button connected to the control board. The lower button is provided with a button handle, which is placed within the fixing hole. The button module is activated by moving relative to the button handle.

[0008] Preferably, the button housing includes an upper button housing and a lower button housing. The lower end of the lower button housing is provided with a through hole, and the lower button handle passes through the through hole and connects to the fixing hole. The upper surface of the upper button housing forms a pressing surface.

[0009] Preferably, the pressing surface tilts the button module after being subjected to force, thereby achieving the action.

[0010] Preferably, the button housing contains a button board and a battery connected to the button board and the control board, and the pressing surface applies a control signal to the button board when subjected to force.

[0011] Preferably, the pressing surface is provided with a movement button and a confirmation button.

[0012] Preferably, the pressing surface can slide relative to the button module in any direction to apply control signals.

[0013] Preferably, the lower housing of the button is provided with a stepped receiving cavity, and the control board and the lower button are both placed in the stepped receiving cavity, and the through hole communicates with the stepped receiving cavity.

[0014] Preferably, the button module is detachably connected to the ring body, the annular part is provided with an opening, the size of the insertion part is adjusted through the opening, a limiting plate is provided on the annular part, the fixing hole is placed in the limiting plate, and the tilt angle of the button module is limited by the limiting plate.

[0015] Preferably, the limiting plate is arc-shaped, and the fixing hole is located at the lowest point of the arc, and the arc of the limiting plate is nearly parallel to the lower end surface of the button housing.

[0016] Preferably, a silicone ring is provided between the limiting plate and the button module.

[0017] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: By fixing the button handle of the button module to the ring body, the button module can be moved by applying pressing force, thereby realizing the action. This reduces the size of the ring body and increases the pressing surface, making it easier to press. At the same time, the overall size of the ring is smaller, making operation more flexible. The limiting plate set on the ring body also prevents the button module from being damaged due to excessive tilting, provides support for the button module, prevents breakage, and extends the service life of the button module. Furthermore, the button module is detachable, and the ring body can still be worn separately after removal, making it more portable. Attached Figure Description

[0024] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, a clear and complete description will be provided below in conjunction with the technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are some, but not all, embodiments of this utility model. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0025] A ring according to a preferred embodiment of this utility model; such as Figures 1-3 As shown, the ring includes a ring body 20 and a button module 30 connected to the ring body 20. The ring body is worn on the index finger, and the button module 30 is pressed by the thumb to perform operations such as counting, playing corresponding sound devices, or other page operations, thereby realizing the intelligence of the ring and can be applied to control in some places.

[0026] Specifically, such as Figures 1-3As shown, the ring body 20 includes a ring-shaped portion 200, with an insertion portion 201 formed in the middle of the ring-shaped portion for inserting the index finger. Other fingers, such as the middle finger, can also be inserted, but the thumb has less control than the index finger. An opening 202 is also provided on the ring-shaped portion, through which the area of ​​the insertion portion can be adjusted, thus accommodating wearers of different finger sizes. The button module 30 includes a button upper shell 300 and a button lower shell 301 corresponding to the button upper shell. A control board 304 and a battery 303 corresponding to the control board are provided on the button upper shell and the button lower shell respectively. The control board is powered by the battery and is located above the control board. A lower button 305 is provided below the control board. The lower button has a lower button handle 306. A receiving cavity 307 is provided on the button lower shell corresponding to the control board and the lower button. The lower button and the control board are placed in the receiving cavity and fixed. A through hole 308 is provided on the button lower shell corresponding to the lower button handle. The lower button handle passes through the through hole and part of the lower button handle is exposed outside the button lower shell. A fixing hole 204 is provided on the ring body 20 corresponding to the exposed part of the lower button handle. This part is fixedly installed in the fixing hole, thereby realizing the connection between the button module 30 and the ring body 20. The upper surface of the button shell 300 forms a pressing surface 302. When it is necessary to use the ring to control certain devices, pressure can be applied to the pressing surface to tilt the button module up, down, left, and right. Since the lower button handle is fixed, the main body of the button module can move to achieve button action. This is different from the traditional method of fixing the main body of the button module and moving the button handle to achieve button action. It reduces the size of the ring body and makes it easier to press and operate due to the larger pressing surface area.

[0027] Furthermore, such as Figures 1-3 As shown, to prevent excessive offset of the button module 30 during operation, which could damage the button module, a limiting plate 203 is also provided on the ring body 20. The limiting plate surrounds the fixing hole 204. When the button module tilts and contacts the limiting plate in a certain direction, it indicates that the current button action is completed, and it cannot move further in that direction, but can only move in the opposite direction to avoid breakage of the button module. To achieve better limiting of the button module, the limiting plate can be set in an arc shape, that is, the limiting plate is bowl-shaped, with the fixing hole located at the lowest point of the bowl shape, and the distance from both sides to the lower shell of the button gradually decreases, which is more conducive to limiting the button module. Since the button module needs to be tilted, a certain gap needs to be reserved between the button module and the limiting plate. To prevent the button module from shaking due to excessive gap, a silicone ring can be set between the limiting plate and the button module. The silicone ring is elastic, and the button operation is achieved by deforming the silicone ring during the button module's operation. When not pressed, the silicone ring can support the button module and prevent it from shaking.

[0028] Furthermore, the button module 30 can be detachably connected to the ring body via a threaded connection, allowing for easy removal of the button module for charging, or allowing the ring body to be worn alone when smart control is not required, reducing the weight of the ring and making button module removal more convenient. To enhance the ring's aesthetics, the pressing surface at the top of the button housing can be textured, improving both appearance and pressing friction.

[0029] A ring according to a preferred embodiment of this utility model; the difference from embodiment one is that, as Figures 4-5 As shown in Embodiment 1, the button module tilts as a whole when pressed. In this embodiment, a button board 311 is set inside the button module. The button board is electrically connected to the control board and is placed between the battery and the button shell. Multiple sets of movement buttons 309 are set on the pressing surface corresponding to the button board, as well as a confirmation button 310 set in the middle of the movement buttons. The control signal can be transmitted by pressing the movement buttons. At this time, there is no need for the button module to tilt as a whole to move. The pressing surface can move up, down, left and right on the screen in the direction of the joystick. Through the USB interface, the ring can play the role of a computer peripheral input device, and its application range is wider.

[0030] A ring according to a preferred embodiment of this utility model; the difference from embodiment two is that the button shell is made to be sliding, and sliding control is achieved by applying a sliding force in any direction to the sliding surface. The button plate transmits the sliding direction through the control plate, so that the pressing surface functions like a mouse, and the sliding arrow can be moved anywhere on the screen. It can also be applied to the input function of computer peripherals, making it more convenient to use.

[0031] It should be understood that this utility model has been described through some embodiments, and those skilled in the art will recognize that various changes or equivalent substitutions can be made to these features and embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model. Furthermore, under the teachings of this utility model, these features and embodiments can be modified to adapt to specific situations and materials without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model. Therefore, this utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed herein, and all embodiments falling within the scope of the claims of this application are within the protection scope of this utility model.
