[0037] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0038] Example 1

[0039] like Figures 1 to 9As shown in the figure, the smart pendant 100 shown in this embodiment includes a main body composed of a long strip-shaped rod 1 and a spherical part 2 located at one end of the rod 1. After the rod 1 and the spherical part 2 are connected, they form a main body with a lollipop shape. The rod 1 has a first cavity 10, and a battery 3 is provided in the first cavity. The spherical part 2 has a second cavity that communicates with the first cavity 10. The second cavity has a vibration motor 4 and a circuit board 5. The circuit board 5 is electrically connected to the vibration motor 4 and the battery 3, respectively. In this structure, the vibration motor can achieve the purpose of vibration reminder. Since the pendant is in contact with the human skin, its vibration can be fully perceived by the human body, resulting in a good user experience. It realizes the multi-functionality of the jewelry, which can meet the diverse needs of modern people. Moreover, the overall shape is lollipop-shaped, which has the characteristics of compact structure, beauty and ornamental value.

[0040] In one embodiment, the circuit board 5 is provided with at least one LED bead 51, and the outer periphery of the middle part of the spherical part 2 is provided with a light guide 6 exposed to the outside and surrounding the LED bead 51. That is, when the LED bead 51 emits light, it can be transmitted to the outside of the smart pendant through the light guide 6, so that the smart pendant has a lighting effect, achieves the purpose of lighting reminder, and has a better decorative effect, improving the aesthetics and viewing value after wearing.

[0041] Understandably, LED beads are multi-color beads, which can flash different colors according to actual needs.

[0042] In one embodiment, the spherical part 2 includes a front housing 21 and a rear housing 22, both of which are hemispherical. A second cavity 20 is formed between the front housing 21 and the rear housing 22. A light guide 6 is disposed between the front housing 21 and the rear housing 22, and the light guide 6 is engaged with the front housing 21 and the rear housing 22 respectively. The rod part 1 is disposed at the rear end of the rear housing 22.

[0043] In one embodiment, the light guide 6 includes an annular light guide portion 61 disposed within the second cavity 20 and a light emitting portion 62 protruding from the outer periphery of the annular light guide portion 61 and positioned between the front housing 21 and the rear housing 22. The outer periphery of the rear end of the annular light guide portion 61 is provided with at least two slots 63, and the inner side of the front end of the rear housing 22 is provided with at least two buckles 23 that respectively engage with the slots 63. The outer periphery of the front end of the annular light guide portion 61 is provided with a raised annular platform 64, and the inner side of the rear end of the front housing 21 is recessed with an annular groove 24 that engages with the annular platform 64. In this way, the light guide 6 is used to realize the front-to-back connection between the front housing 21 and the rear housing 22, and to place the light guide 6 between the front housing 21 and the rear housing 22 to avoid affecting the outward light guiding; the circuit board 5 is disposed within the annular light guide portion 61.

[0044] In one embodiment, the inner periphery of the annular light guide portion 61 is provided with a support portion 65, and the support portion 65 is provided with at least two positioning posts 66 arranged facing forward or backward. The circuit board 5 is provided with at least two positioning holes 52 that are respectively inserted into the positioning posts 66, so as to facilitate assembly and positioning assembly.

[0045] In one embodiment, the rear housing 22 has a through hole 25 at the middle of its rear end for the rod 1 to pass through. The inner end of the rod 1 is inserted into the second cavity 20 through the through hole 25. The outer periphery of the inner end of the rod 1 has a limiting part 11 with an outer diameter larger than the diameter of the through hole 25. The inner side of the rear housing 22 has at least two hot melt pillars 26. The limiting part 11 has at least two through holes 12 through which the hot melt pillars 26 pass in a one-to-one correspondence. That is, during assembly, one end of the rod 1 passes through the through hole 25 from the inside to the outside and extends outward, while the other end is placed in the second cavity and inserted into the hot melt pillar 26. After insertion, the hot melt pillar 26 can be hot melted to fix the rod 1 and the rear housing 22 together.

[0046] In one embodiment, the vibration motor 4 can be attached to the inner end of the rod 1 by means of adhesive.

[0047] In one embodiment, the end of the spherical part 2 away from the rod part 1 is provided with a first magnetic head 27 for charging the battery. The first magnetic head 27 is electrically connected to the circuit board 5. The first magnetic head is used to achieve the charging function after being electrically connected to an external magnetic charging cable or magnetic charging compartment.

[0048] In one embodiment, a threading hole 13 is provided through the outer end of the rod 1 away from the spherical part 2 for threading a necklace or rope, so that the smart pendant can be hung on the user's neck.

[0049] In other embodiments, the vibration motor is a button motor.

[0050] Example 2

[0051] like Figure 10 As shown in the figure, the smart pendant shown in this embodiment adds a tapping function based on embodiment 1. In addition to the conventional Bluetooth module and microprocessor, an accelerometer is also integrated on the circuit board. The microprocessor is electrically connected to the accelerometer, Bluetooth module, battery, LED beads and vibration motor respectively.

[0052] In a specific implementation case, it can be understood that when the smart pendant is in use, it communicates with the corresponding application software on the mobile phone via the Bluetooth module on the circuit board. The application software on the mobile phone can be used to set the modes of the smart pendant's functions, such as the light mode, which can set the light to be always on and select the color of the light, so as to achieve the effect of light decoration; the call reminder mode, which can customize the flashing color and flashing frequency of the light for the corresponding contact, so that the light flashes and the vibration motor vibrates synchronously when a call is received; the timed reminder mode, which sets the corresponding time for vibration and light flashing reminder; and the message reminder mode, which sets the vibration motor to remind you when a message is received.

[0053] In another specific implementation case, it can be understood that a user can be associated with one smart pendant or multiple pendants. For example, when using couple pendants, both partners can wear the same smart pendant. After remote pairing or connection, one partner can tap the smart pendant once, twice, or three times, depending on the settings. The accelerometer can detect the vibration signal when tapping, and the microprocessor can then send a signal to the other partner's smart pendant, which will then receive vibration and light feedback. One partner can also send content to the other partner via a mobile application, and the other partner's smart pendant will receive vibration and light feedback. Depending on the settings, the other partner can tap the smart pendant once, twice, or three times, and the mobile phone will automatically open the sent content. An emotion transmission mode can also be set. After sending a customized mood pattern to the other partner via the mobile application, the other partner's smart pendant will display different light breathing patterns.

[0054] In other embodiments, the microprocessor, accelerometer, and Bluetooth module all use existing common modules.

A charging slot for placing the smart pendant 100 is formed between the top cover 300 and the base 200. The base 200 contains a main board 201 and a battery 3 electrically connected to the main board 201. One side of the main board 201 has a charging interface 202 exposed on the rear side of the base 200. After being connected to an external power source, it is used to charge the battery 3 in the charging compartment. One end of the charging slot has a second magnetic head 203 that is electrically connected to a first magnetic head 27 on the smart pendant 100. The second magnetic head 203 is electrically connected to the main board 201, thereby using the battery 3 in the charging compartment to charge the smart pendant.

[0057] In one embodiment, the charging slot includes a first slot 204 and a second slot 205 located at both ends of the charging compartment. The first slot 204 is used to accommodate the spherical part 2 on the smart pendant and is adapted to the shape of the spherical part 2. The second magnetic head 203 is located at the end of the first slot 204 away from the second slot 205. The second slot 205 is used to accommodate a necklace or cord threaded through the wire hole 13, so that the smart pendant and the necklace or cord worn can be accommodated in the charging compartment at the same time, avoiding the need to separate the smart pendant and the necklace or cord worn when charging or storing, which would cause inconvenience and affect the user experience.
