Detailed Implementation

[0028] See Figures 1-12As shown, the technical solution adopted in this specific embodiment is as follows: It includes a watch body 1 and a screen panel 2 disposed in the middle of the watch body 1. A camera decorative piece 3 is movably disposed on the side of the watch body 1. A camera 5 is disposed on the outer side of the camera decorative piece 3 in a direction perpendicular to the screen panel 2. A camera retaining block 4 is movably disposed at one end of the camera decorative piece 3 and connected to the watch body 1. A rotating limiting steel plate 7 is disposed inside the camera retaining block 4 to limit the camera decorative piece 3. In this embodiment, in order to facilitate the miniaturization design of the smartwatch, a side-mounted rotating camera structure is adopted. First, the rotating limiting steel plate is disposed inside the camera retaining block, and the camera is mounted on the camera decorative piece. One end of the camera decorative piece is connected to the camera retainer block in a rotatable, movable connection. After connection, the camera decorative piece and camera retainer block are assembled with the watch body. The structure is simple and easy to assemble, and it does not increase the size of the watch. When the camera is not in use, the rotating limiting steel plate will limit the camera decorative piece to prevent it from rotating randomly. When the camera needs to be used, simply pull up the camera decorative piece. When the camera is parallel to the screen panel, the rotating limiting steel plate will reposition the camera decorative piece, so that the camera can maintain a parallel working state. After use, simply press the camera back to its original position. It is simple and convenient to use, providing users with a better user experience.

[0029] More specifically, the top side of the camera decorative piece 3 is provided with a decorative piece positioning post 3-1, and the decorative piece positioning post 3-1 is a hollow structure. The hollow part extends into the interior of the camera decorative piece 3 and is connected to the wiring terminal of the camera 5. In this embodiment, a decorative positioning post is provided at one end of the camera decorative piece, which works with a rotating limiting steel plate to position the camera decorative piece at both vertical and parallel angles. The interior of the camera decorative piece is a hollow structure, and a camera FPC 6 is provided inside the camera decorative piece 3 and connected to the camera 5. The camera FPC 6 passes through the decorative piece positioning post 3-1 and is connected to the main board inside the watch body 1. The hollow structure not only facilitates the assembly of the camera FPC, but also prevents interference with the camera FPC during rotation, ensuring the rotation effect.

[0030] More specifically, the rotating limiting steel plate 7 has an L-shaped structure. The camera pressing block 4 has a mating platform in the middle that cooperates with the rotating limiting steel plate 7. In this embodiment, the horizontal part of the rotating limiting steel plate is the actual limiting component, and the vertical part is the fixing component. During assembly, it is tightly attached to the camera pressing block and fixed by screws.

[0031] More specifically, on the other side of the top of the camera decorative piece 3, there is a decorative piece limiting post 3-2 that contacts the rotation limiting steel plate 7. The side of the decorative piece limiting post 3-2 is parallel to the parallel side of the camera 5, and the bottom of the decorative piece limiting post 3-2 is also parallel to the perpendicular side of the camera 5. An arc-shaped chamfer is provided between two adjacent parallel surfaces. By providing an arc-shaped chamfer structure between two parallel surfaces, a smoother transition can be achieved during rotation, ensuring the positioning effect after rotation, and preventing hard wear on the decorative piece limiting post, thus extending its service life.

[0032] More specifically, the watch body 1 has a rotating groove on its side that matches the camera decorative piece 3. One end of the rotating groove has a mounting groove 1-1 that matches the camera pressing block 4, and the other end of the rotating groove has a positioning groove that cooperates with the positioning post 3-1 of the decorative piece. The mounting groove 1-1 has screw holes for fixing the camera pressing block 4 and the rotating limiting steel plate 7. In this embodiment, a rotating groove on the side of the watch body is sufficient for the installation of the camera. The mounting groove and positioning groove at both ends facilitate the rotation of the camera decorative piece.

[0033] More specifically, a semi-circular positioning seat 1-2 is provided above the mounting groove 1-1. The semi-circular positioning seat 1-2 cooperates with the decorative part limiting post 3-2 to constrain the camera decorative part 3. The arc-shaped surface of the semi-circular positioning seat and the decorative part limiting post cooperates to make the rotation smoother.

[0034] More specifically, the decorative positioning post 3-1 is provided with a sealing groove, and a sealing ring 8 is provided in the sealing groove to cooperate with the rotating groove. The sealing groove can better prevent water from entering the camera part during use.

[0035] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: The camera 5 is installed on the side of the camera decorative piece 3. During assembly, the rotating limiting steel plate 7 is pressed into the camera pressing block 4, and the decorative piece limiting post 3-2 of the camera 5 is inserted into the camera pressing block 4, so that the bottom parallel surface of the decorative piece limiting post 3-2 contacts the rotating limiting steel plate 7. Then, the camera decorative piece 3 and the camera pressing block 4 are installed together into the rotating groove, and one end of the decorative piece positioning post 3-1 is inserted into the positioning groove. The screws on the camera pressing block 4 are tightened to complete the installation of the camera decorative piece 3. Finally, the camera FPC 6 is connected to the motherboard to complete the installation of the rotating camera. When in use, simply rotate the camera decorative piece 3 to... The camera 5 rotates upwards, making it parallel to the screen panel 2. During the rotation, the bottom parallel surface of the decorative part limiting post 3-2 separates from the rotating limiting steel plate 7, while the arc-shaped chamfer on the side serves as a transition point. During the continuous rotation, the other parallel surface comes into contact with the rotating limiting steel plate 7. When it is in complete parallel contact with the rotating limiting steel plate 7, the rotation and positioning of the camera 5 are completed, and it is not easy for the camera 5 to return to its original position due to external force. The setting of two parallel surfaces can effectively realize the two states of positioning of the camera 5, which is convenient for users. At the same time, since the rotating structure is only set on the side of the watch body 1, it will not increase the size of the watch, which is conducive to the miniaturization design of the smartwatch.

[0036] The above description is only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and is not intended to limit it. Any other modifications or equivalent substitutions made by those skilled in the art to the technical solution of this utility model, as long as they do not depart from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model, should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
