[0040] In the embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings, the directional indications (such as up, down, left, right, front, and back) are relative rather than absolute when describing the structure and movement of the various components, and are not intended to limit the direction of the product during actual use.

[0041] Furthermore, in the description of this application, ordinal numbers, such as "first" and "second," are used only to distinguish related objects and should not be construed as indicating or implying the relative importance or order between related objects.

[0042] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, in one or more embodiments, this disclosure provides a watch body structure, including a housing 100, a speaker 200, a snap-on button 300, and a button cover 400. A sound outlet 110 is provided on one side of the housing 100; the speaker 200 is disposed inside the housing 100 and corresponds to the sound outlet 110; the snap-on button 300 is disposed outside the housing 100 and corresponds to the sound outlet 110, with a gap between the snap-on button 300 and the sound outlet 110 forming a sound channel; the snap-on button 300 includes a pressing part 310; the button cover 400 is disposed outside the snap-on button 300 and fixedly connected to the housing 100, and the button cover 400 has a speaker hole 410. The pressing part 310 extends into the speaker hole 410 and has a gap with the side wall of the speaker hole 410, the gap communicating with the sound channel.

[0043] Specifically, the housing 100 is the outer shell of the watch body, used to house and protect various internal components of the watch body. A sound outlet 110 is provided on one side of the housing 100 for sound output. A speaker 200 is disposed inside the housing 100. The speaker 200 is used to generate sound, and the sound output end of the speaker 200 corresponds to the sound outlet 110 to ensure that sound can be effectively transmitted to the outside through the sound outlet 110.

[0044] A latching button 300 is located on the outside of the housing 100 and is movably connected to the housing 100 to lock and unlock the latching button 300. The latching button 300 is positioned opposite to the sound outlet 110, forming a sound outlet channel with the sound outlet 110. The latching button 300 includes a pressing part 310, which allows the user to easily press the latching button 300 to unlock it.

[0045] The button cover 400 is located on the outside of the snap-on button 300. The button cover 400 is fixedly connected to the housing 100, or detachably connected via a snap-on structure. The button cover 400 serves to limit and decorate the snap-on button 300, ensuring its stability during use and preventing it from loosening or falling off due to external force. The button cover 400 has a speaker hole 410, and the pressing part 310 of the snap-on button 300 extends into the speaker hole 410, allowing the user to operate the pressing part 310 from the outside of the watch body. The size of the speaker hole 410 is larger than the size of the pressing part 310, maintaining a certain gap between the outer side of the pressing part 310 and the inner wall of the speaker hole 410. This gap communicates with the sound outlet channel, allowing sound to propagate to the outside of the watch body through this gap.

[0046] In this embodiment, by combining the buckle button 300 with the sound hole 110, a multifunctional structure is formed, which effectively utilizes the limited space on the side of the watch body. This not only reduces the number of openings on the side of the watch body and improves the stability of the watch body structure, making the appearance of the watch body more concise, but also frees up more space for other important functional components (such as sensors, batteries, SIM card slots, etc.), optimizes the overall layout, and achieves quick-release function without affecting the overall function and performance of the smartwatch.

[0047] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the sound outlet 110 and the snap button 300 are both located at one end of the housing 100 along its length. The concentration of the sound outlet 110 and the snap button 300 at one end of the housing allows the other end of the watch to be used for the layout of other functional components, such as sensors, batteries, SIM card slots, etc., thereby optimizing overall space utilization.

[0048] For example, such as Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the function button 510 of the watch body can be located on one side of the housing 100 along the width direction, and the SIM card slot 520 can be located on the other side of the housing 100 along the width direction. The function button 510 is located on the side of the watch body for easy user operation. The SIM card slot 520 is located on the other side of the watch body, opposite the function button 510, for easy insertion and removal of the SIM card.

[0049] like Figure 4 As shown, the charging port 530 is located at the other end of the watch body along its length, opposite the sound outlet 110 and the snap button 300, facilitating charging operation. Figure 5 As shown, the heart rate sensor 540 is located on the back of the watch body and contacts the skin to monitor the user's heart rate and other health data. The infrared sensor 550 is located on the front of the watch body and is used to detect surrounding objects or to perform other related functions.

[0050] In this embodiment, by placing the function button 510 and the SIM card holder 520 on opposite sides of the housing 100 along its width, and the charging port 530 at the other end of the housing 100 along its length, this layout makes full use of the space of the watch body and avoids mutual interference between functional components. For example, the separate placement of the function button 510 and the SIM card holder 520 prevents the user from accidentally touching the SIM card holder 520 when operating the button, and vice versa.

[0051] The heart rate sensor 540 is located on the back of the watch body, in contact with the skin, allowing users to conveniently monitor their heart rate while wearing the watch and improving the accuracy of heart rate monitoring. The infrared sensor 550 is located on the front of the watch body, allowing users to easily align the sensor with the object being measured when measuring body temperature or other related functions, improving the convenience of health monitoring.

[0052] By rationally arranging various functional components in different positions on the watch body, this design achieves multi-functional integration, reduces the number of parts on the side of the watch body, and reduces structural instability caused by connecting multiple parts.

[0053] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, it also includes a first latching part 600, which is located at the end of the housing 100 away from the sound outlet 110. One end of the watch body has the first latching part 600, and the other end has a latching button 300. When the watch body is mounted on the smartwatch base 700, the latching button 300 can engage with the second latch 710 on the base 700, and the first latching part 600 can engage with the second latching part 720 on the base 700, thereby fixing the watch body to the base 700. Watch straps 800 are provided at both ends of the base 700, which securely hold the base 700 on the user's wrist. The watch body and the base 700 are detachably connected via the latching part and the latch.

[0054] The first latching part 600 and the second latching part 720 can be fixed latches. For example, the first latching part 600 can be a snap-fit ​​or a slot, and the second latching part 720 can be a slot or a snap-fit. The latch button 300 is a movable latch. When installing the watch body, first latch the first latching part 600 and the second latching part 720, and then latch the latch button 300 and the second latch 710. When removing the watch body, press the latch button 300 to release the latch button 300 from the second latch 710, and then move the watch body outward to release the first latching part 600 from the second latch 720, so that the watch body can be removed from the base 700.

[0055] In this embodiment, the snap-fit ​​and buckle design allows users to quickly install or remove the watch body from the base 700, greatly improving user convenience and reducing installation and disassembly time and complexity. The dual fixing mechanism of snap-fit ​​and buckle ensures the watch body's firmness on the base 700; during normal use, the watch body will not loosen or fall off due to external force or vibration, improving the stability and reliability of the device.

[0056] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, the latch button 300 also includes a rotating part 320, which is fixedly connected to the pressing part 310. One end of the rotating part 320 is rotatably connected to the housing 100, and the other end of the rotating part 320 is provided with a first latch 330. When the pressing part 310 is pressed, the pressing part 310 drives the rotating part 320 to rotate relative to the housing 100.

[0057] One end of the rotating part 320 is rotatably connected to the housing 100. The rotating part 320 can rotate freely relative to the housing 100 within a certain range. When the user presses the pressing part 310, it drives the rotating part 320 to rotate. When the rotating part 320 rotates, it drives the first latch 330 to move, causing the first latch 330 to disengage from the second latch 710 and release the latch from the second latch 710, thereby unlocking the device.

[0058] In this embodiment, the number of rotating parts 320 can be one or more, that is, the number of first buckles 330 can be one or more. When there is one rotating part 320, the rotating part 320 is directly fixedly connected to the pressing part 310. After the rotating part 320 and the pressing part 310 are connected, they are arranged in a "+" shape. The rotating part 320 is arranged vertically, and the pressing part 310 is arranged horizontally. This structure can reduce the obstruction of the gap between the pressing part 310 and the speaker hole 410 by the rotating part, thereby improving the sound propagation quality. When there are two rotating parts 320, the two rotating parts 320 are respectively arranged at both ends of the pressing part 310. The two rotating parts 320 and the pressing part 310 are arranged in an "I" shape. One end of the watch body is connected to the two second buckles 710 on the base 700 through the two first buckles 330, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the connection between the watch body and the base 700.

[0059] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 As shown, it also includes an elastic element 340, which is disposed between the housing 100 and the rotating part 320. One end of the elastic element 340 is connected to the housing 100, and the other end is connected to the rotating part 320. When the pressing part 310 is released, the rotating part 320 resets under the action of the elastic element 340. When the user presses the pressing part 310, the pressing part 310 drives the rotating part 320 to rotate relative to the housing 100, and the elastic element 340 is compressed or stretched. When the user releases the pressing part 310, the elastic restoring force of the elastic element 340 causes the rotating part 320 to automatically reset, improving the convenience of operation and reducing the number of operation steps for the user. In addition, the elastic element 340 provides clear feedback during pressing and resetting, allowing the user to feel a clear pressing and releasing sensation, improving the user experience.

[0060] In some embodiments, a waterproof and breathable membrane is also included, which covers the sound outlet 110. The waterproof and breathable membrane covering the sound outlet 110 is used to prevent liquids (such as rainwater, sweat, water from hand washing, etc.) and dust from entering the sound outlet 110, thereby protecting the internal speaker and electronic components from damage, keeping the internal components clean, extending the service life of the device, and allowing sound to pass through smoothly without significantly obstructing the propagation of sound, ensuring that the sound can be clearly and evenly propagated to the outside, so that the user can obtain a good listening experience.

[0061] This application also provides an embodiment of a smartwatch, such as... Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the watch body structure includes any of the above embodiments, and is fixedly worn on the user's wrist by a watch strap. In some embodiments, the watch body structure can be detachably connected to the watch strap via a snap button 300. In other embodiments, the smartwatch also includes a base 700, with the watch strap 800 fixedly connected to the base 700. One end of the base 700 is provided with a second snap 710, and the other end is provided with a second latching part 720. The first latching part 600 on the housing 100 latches with the second latching part 720, and when the first snap 330 of the snap button 300 latches with the second snap 710, the watch body structure is fixed on the base 700. Pressing the snap button 300 releases the first snap 330 from the second snap 710 and the first latching part 600 from the second latching part 720, thereby detaching the watch body structure from the base 700, achieving detachability of the watch body structure.

[0062] In the above embodiments, the descriptions of each embodiment have different focuses. For parts that are not described in detail or recorded in a certain embodiment, please refer to the relevant descriptions of other embodiments.

[0063] It should be noted that the above embodiments can be freely combined as needed. The above description is only a preferred embodiment of this application. It should be pointed out that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of this application, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of this application.
