Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of smart wearable device technology, specifically a waterproof smart wearable device. Background Technology

[0002] Smart wearable devices are a general term for devices that apply wearable technology to the intelligent design and development of everyday wearables, such as watches, bracelets, glasses, and clothing. Through these devices, people can better perceive external and internal information, process information more efficiently with the assistance of computers, networks, and even other people, and achieve more seamless communication.

[0003] According to a public notice of a waterproof smart wearable device (publication number: CN219715962U), the aforementioned application uses a tight-fitting component and a drying component. The back cover is connected to the back of the main body by screws. The sealing ring is deformed by pressure to fill the gap between the back cover and the main body, thereby improving the sealing performance between the two and reducing the intrusion of external moisture.

[0004] However, in actual use, the main body of the aforementioned devices is generally assembled from an upper shell and a lower shell. Therefore, the area where water leakage is likely to occur inside the main body is at the connection between the upper and lower shells. In existing technologies, an annular sealing gasket is generally installed at the connection between the two for sealing. However, smart wearable devices move with people, and the temperature in the external environment changes greatly. They are easily deformed due to thermal expansion and contraction, or even leaks, thus reducing the waterproof sealing performance of the device. In view of this, we propose a waterproof smart wearable device. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a waterproof smart wearable device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a waterproof smart wearable device, comprising an upper shell, a lower shell detachably mounted on the lower surface of the upper shell, a watch strap movably connected to the side of the upper shell and the lower shell, and a sealing assembly provided between the upper shell and the lower shell;

[0007] The sealing assembly includes a retaining ring that is snapped onto the inner wall of the upper housing. A sealing ring is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the retaining ring on the side away from the center of the upper housing. A deformation cavity is formed inside the sealing ring. A U-shaped soft sleeve is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the sealing ring near the upper housing. A convex ring is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the upper housing. Inclined teeth are formed on the upper and lower outer walls of the convex ring. A hard ring is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the sealing ring.

[0008] Preferably, an annular mounting cavity adapted to the size of the fixing ring is formed on the inner wall of the side close to each other between the upper and lower housings, and the fixing ring is disposed in the annular mounting cavity so that the sealing ring can surround the outside of the combination of the upper and lower housings.

[0009] Preferably, the sealing ring is arranged in an arc shape that is thicker in the center and thinner at both ends, so as to guide the water flow that may appear on the outside of the equipment and prevent it from directly impacting the connection between the upper and lower shells.

[0010] Preferably, a sealing groove with a height adapted to the thickness of the U-shaped soft sleeve is formed on the outer wall of the upper housing, and the end of the convex ring is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the end of the sealing groove. At the same time, the surface of the convex ring near the sealing ring is set in an arc shape, and the thickness of the convex ring is greater than the width of the internal gap of the U-shaped soft sleeve.

[0011] Preferably, the teeth of the oblique teeth are inclined toward the inside of the upper housing, so that when the convex ring is inserted into the U-shaped soft sleeve, the oblique teeth can also play a role in clamping and preventing slippage of the U-shaped soft sleeve.

[0012] Preferably, the inner wall of the sealing ring is provided with an annular hole that is adapted to the rigid ring, and the rigid ring is disposed inside the annular hole.

[0013] Preferably, the rigid ring is arranged parallel to the U-shaped soft sleeve in the horizontal direction. When the sealing ring is compressed by the external environment, the pressure at both ends of the deformation cavity will generate a thrust on the rigid ring, thereby causing the rigid ring to squeeze the U-shaped soft sleeve.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a waterproof smart wearable device, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] 1. This waterproof smart wearable device is equipped with a sealing component. A sealing ring is set around the connection between the upper and lower shells to protect the gap between them. In conjunction with the U-shaped soft sleeve and convex ring set on the upper and lower surfaces of the sealing ring, when the convex ring is inserted into the U-shaped soft sleeve, the oblique teeth can also play a role in clamping and preventing slippage of the U-shaped soft sleeve under the influence of thermal expansion and contraction, so as to avoid the sealing and protection effect at the gap between the upper and lower shells.

[0016] 2. This waterproof smart wearable device, by setting up a deformation cavity and a rigid ring, when the sealing ring is compressed by the external environment, the pressure at both ends of the deformation cavity will generate a thrust on the rigid ring, thereby causing the rigid ring to squeeze the U-shaped soft sleeve, which in turn causes the U-shaped soft sleeve to move further into the sealing groove. In conjunction with the setting of the convex ring, the waterproof sealing effect at the sealing groove is enhanced, ensuring the waterproofness of the smart wearable device.

[0023] like Figures 1-5 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a waterproof smart wearable device, including an upper shell 1, a lower shell 2 detachably mounted on the lower surface of the upper shell 1, a watch strap 3 movably connected to the side of the upper shell 1 and the lower shell 2, and a sealing assembly 4 provided between the upper shell 1 and the lower shell 2. The sealing assembly 4 includes a fixing ring 41, a sealing ring 42, a deformation cavity 43, a U-shaped soft sleeve 44, a convex ring 45, a helical tooth 46, and a hard ring 47.

[0024] In one embodiment of this utility model, the fixing ring 41 is snapped onto the inner wall of the upper housing 1, and a sealing ring 42 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the fixing ring 41 on the side away from the center of the upper housing 1. A deformation cavity 43 is opened inside the sealing ring 42, and a U-shaped soft sleeve 44 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the sealing ring 42 on the side close to the upper housing 1. A convex ring 45 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the upper housing 1, and oblique teeth 46 are opened on the upper and lower outer walls of the convex ring 45. A hard ring 47 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the sealing ring 42.

[0025] Furthermore, an annular mounting cavity adapted to the size of the fixing ring 41 is formed on the inner wall of the side of the upper housing 1 and the lower housing 2 that are close to each other, and the fixing ring 41 is disposed in the annular mounting cavity so that the sealing ring 42 can surround the outside of the joint between the upper housing 1 and the lower housing 2 to protect the connection between them. At the same time, a connecting groove adapted to the thickness of the connection between the sealing ring 42 and the fixing ring 41 is formed at the edge of the gap between the upper housing 1 and the lower housing 2 to ensure the positioning effect of the fixing ring 41 on the sealing ring 42. Specifically, the sealing ring 42 is shaped as follows: The arc shape, thicker in the center and thinner at both ends, guides any water flow that may occur on the outside of the equipment, preventing it from directly impacting the connection between the upper housing 1 and the lower housing 2 and causing damage to the equipment. In addition, the deformation cavity 43 is annular, and the sealing ring 42 itself is made of silicone material. The deformation cavity 43 is filled with inert gas, and the filling amount of inert gas is 80% to 90% of the volume of the deformation cavity 43. This allows the deformation cavity 43 to also play a certain impact buffering role, further protecting the connection between the upper housing 1 and the lower housing 2.

[0026] In addition, a sealing groove with a height adapted to the thickness of the U-shaped soft sleeve 44 is provided on the outer wall of the upper housing 1, and the end of the convex ring 45 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the end of the sealing groove. At the same time, the surface of the convex ring 45 near the sealing ring 42 is set in an arc shape, and the thickness of the convex ring 45 is greater than the width of the internal gap of the U-shaped soft sleeve 44. This allows the convex ring 45 to exert an outward squeezing force on the U-shaped soft sleeve 44 when it is inserted into the internal gap of the U-shaped soft sleeve 44, causing its outer surface to fit tightly against the inner surface of the sealing groove. This provides a protective sealing effect on the outside of the connection between the upper housing 1 and the lower housing 2. Furthermore, the teeth of the helical teeth 46 are inclined towards the inside of the upper housing 1. This allows the helical teeth 46 to also clamp and prevent slippage of the U-shaped soft sleeve 44 when the convex ring 45 is inserted into the U-shaped soft sleeve 44, preventing it from slipping outward under the influence of thermal expansion and contraction, which would affect the sealing protection effect at the gap between the upper housing 1 and the lower housing 2.

[0027] In this embodiment of the invention, an annular hole adapted to a rigid ring 47 is provided on the inner wall of the sealing ring 42, and the rigid ring 47 is disposed inside the annular hole. Specifically, two sets of rigid rings 47 are provided, and the two sets of rigid rings 47 are respectively disposed at the upper and lower ends of the deformation cavity 43. At the same time, the rigid rings 47 are arranged parallel to the U-shaped soft sleeve 44 in the horizontal direction. Thus, when the sealing ring 42 is subjected to pressure from the external environment (such as underwater pressure or other impact forces), the pressure at both ends of the deformation cavity 43 will generate a thrust on the rigid rings 47, thereby causing the rigid rings 47 to squeeze the U-shaped soft sleeve 44, thereby causing the U-shaped soft sleeve 44 to move further toward the sealing groove. With the setting of the convex ring 45, the waterproof sealing effect at the sealing groove is enhanced, ensuring the waterproofness of the smart wearable device.

[0028] In this invention, during use, a sealing ring 42 is provided around the connection between the upper shell 1 and the lower shell 2 to protect the gap between them. This, along with the U-shaped soft sleeve 44 and convex ring 45 on the upper and lower surfaces of the sealing ring 42, allows the helical teeth 46 to also clamp and prevent slippage of the U-shaped soft sleeve 44 when the convex ring 45 is inserted into it. This prevents the sleeve from slipping outwards due to thermal expansion and contraction, thus ensuring a proper seal between the upper shell 1 and the lower shell 2. Even under external pressure, the deformation cavity 43 allows the local deformation inside the sealing ring 42 to compress the hard ring 47, thereby squeezing the U-shaped soft sleeve 44 towards the convex ring 45. This enhances the waterproof sealing effect at the sealing groove, ensuring the waterproof performance of the smart wearable device.

[0029] The present invention has been described in detail above. However, modifications or improvements can be made to it, which will be obvious to those skilled in the art. Therefore, any modifications or improvements that do not depart from the spirit of the present invention are within the protection scope of the present invention.
