Technical Field

[0001] This utility model mainly relates to the field of watch technology, specifically a shockproof electronic watch. Background Technology

[0002] Students and office workers often wear watches to keep track of time, with digital watches being particularly popular due to their ability to integrate more functions. However, digital watches inevitably experience impacts during daily use, such as accidental drops, bumps, and physical activity. Since digital watches contain circuit boards, electronic displays, and numerous electronic components, these components are easily damaged by shocks and vibrations, affecting their precision and potentially causing further harm. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a shockproof electronic watch to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a shockproof electronic watch, comprising a housing, a flexible circuit board disposed inside the housing, an electronic component assembly disposed on the flexible circuit board, the electronic component assembly being electrically connected to a display screen, a watch face fixedly disposed on the top of the housing, a detachable bottom cover disposed on the bottom of the housing, an aerogel filling layer disposed inside the housing to enclose the flexible circuit board and the electronic component assembly, a spring disposed at the bottom of the aerogel filling layer, the bottom cover being in contact with the spring after installation, and the watch face being located outside the display screen with a silicone air cushion disposed between the two.

[0005] Preferably, the aerogel filling layer has a pre-reserved battery slot, which is a boss-like shape. One end of the battery slot has a smaller diameter and is inwardly mounted with a button battery. The other end is fixedly provided with a magnetic ring with an inner diameter larger than that of the button battery. A magnetic inner cover that cooperates with the magnetic ring is provided on the outside of the battery slot.

[0006] Furthermore, when the magnetic inner cover is magnetically connected to the magnetic ring, the magnetic inner cover is located inside the battery slot and there is a height difference between it and the bottom surface of the aerogel filling layer, and a pull opening is formed at the bottom of the magnetic inner cover.

[0007] Preferably, a conduit is provided within the aerogel filling layer, and the conduit accommodates the wires between the display screen and the electronic component group.

[0008] Preferably, the shell is a composite layered structure, which includes, from the outside to the inside, a high-hardness ceramic outer layer, a porous energy-absorbing alloy middle layer, and a flexible silicone inner layer.

[0009] Preferably, the watch crystal is made of sapphire glass and its surface is coated with polyurethane urea.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0011] This utility model provides a shockproof electronic watch that tightly wraps a flexible circuit board and electronic components with an aerogel filling layer. Combined with a gradient stacked design of a high-hardness ceramic outer layer, a porous energy-absorbing alloy middle layer, and a flexible silicone inner layer, a step-by-step energy dissipation path is formed. The silicone air cushion between the watch face and the display screen provides flexible buffering, and the bottom cover and spring form a bottom elastic support system. External impact forces are dispersed and absorbed by the aerogel energy-absorbing layer, the stacked shell layers, and the spring in a coordinated manner, effectively protecting the precision electronic components from damage caused by drops and bumps.

[0012] This utility model provides a shockproof electronic watch that integrates a magnetic ring and a magnetic inner cover through a convex-shaped battery slot. The button battery can be manually installed and removed by means of a pull-out structure formed by magnetic fixation and height difference. The wire tube is embedded in the aerogel filling layer to neatly arrange the display screen connection wires, avoiding wire bending fatigue. The polyurethane urea coating on the sapphire crystal surface, combined with the internal buffer design, simplifies maintenance operations while ensuring a durable and stable connection between the display module and electronic components.

[0022] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0023] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0024] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a shockproof electronic watch includes a housing 1, a flexible circuit board 13 disposed inside the housing 1, an electronic component group 14 disposed on the flexible circuit board 13, the electronic component group 14 being electrically connected to a display screen 12, a watch face 3 fixedly disposed on the top of the housing 1, a bottom cover 2 detachably disposed on the bottom of the housing 1, an aerogel filling layer 6 disposed inside the housing 1 to enclose the flexible circuit board 13 and the electronic component group 14, a spring 7 disposed at the bottom of the aerogel filling layer 6, the bottom cover 2 being in contact with the spring 7 after installation, and a silicone air cushion 8 disposed between the watch face 3 located outside the display screen 12.

[0025] The aerogel filling layer 6 is graphene aerogel, which not only provides cushioning and shock absorption but also electromagnetic shielding. Microcapsule repair agents can also be incorporated into the aerogel filling layer 6, which automatically release resin to repair when local scratches occur.

[0026] A battery slot 10 is provided on the aerogel filling layer 6. The battery slot 10 is in the shape of a boss. One end of the slot has a smaller diameter and is inwardly installed with a button battery 9. The other end is fixed with a magnetic ring with an inner diameter larger than that of the button battery 9. A magnetic inner cover 11 that cooperates with the magnetic ring is provided on the outside of the battery slot 10.

[0027] When the magnetic inner cover 11 is magnetically connected to the magnetic ring, the magnetic inner cover 11 is located inside the battery compartment 10 and has a height difference with the bottom surface of the aerogel filling layer 6. A pull tab is formed at the bottom of the magnetic inner cover 11. During disassembly, the magnetic inner cover 11 is pulled apart from the outside of the pull tab. After installation, the aerogel filling layer 6 cushions the button battery 9 to prevent the button battery 9 from being compressed and affecting its use.

[0028] The aerogel filling layer 6 is provided with a wire conduit 15, which accommodates the wires between the display screen 12 and the electronic component group 14, so as to arrange the wires neatly and avoid line bending fatigue.

[0029] The shell 1 is a composite layered structure, which includes a high-hardness ceramic outer layer 101, a porous energy-absorbing alloy middle layer 102 and a flexible silicone inner layer 103 from the outside to the inside, forming a step-by-step energy dissipation path for external impacts.

[0030] The watch crystal 3 is made of sapphire glass and coated with polyurethane urea. Sapphire glass is strong and wear-resistant, and the polyurethane urea on the surface is a hydrophobic self-healing polymer that can automatically repair minor scratches.

[0031] The shell 1 has hanging ears 4 fixed on both sides, and the external wrist strap is hinged at the position of the hanging ears 4. The bottom of the shell 1 and the bottom cover 2 also have corresponding screw holes, and bolts 5 are threaded through the screw holes to fix the bottom cover 2 to the bottom of the shell 1.

[0032] The implementation principle of this application embodiment is as follows:

[0033] When the watch is subjected to external impact: the impact force at the side wall is first dispersed by the high-hardness ceramic outer layer 101, the porous energy-absorbing alloy middle layer 102 absorbs energy through micropore collapse, the flexible silicone inner layer 103 slows down the residual vibration, and the slowed impact force continues to be transmitted to the aerogel filling layer 6 to dissipate the shock wave through material deformation, so as to protect the flexible circuit board 13 and electronic component group 14 inside; the impact force at the top is first dispersed by the watch crystal 3, and then the silicone air cushion 8 and the aerogel filling layer 6 dissipate the shock wave to prevent crushing the display screen 12; the impact force at the bottom is first dispersed by the back cover 2, and then the spring 7 and the aerogel filling layer 6 dissipate the shock wave to prevent the button battery 9 at the bottom from being compressed, thereby forming a three-dimensional shock absorption buffer for the internal structure of the watch.

[0034] When it is necessary to replace the button battery 9: Remove the bolt 5 along the thread to open the bottom cover 2, and directly pull the pull tab (unnumbered) at the bottom of the magnetic inner cover 11 with your fingers to separate the magnetic inner cover 11 from the magnetic ring (unnumbered) in the battery compartment 10, thereby releasing the lock on the button battery 9. After removing and replacing the new battery, press the magnetic inner cover 11 against the battery compartment 10, and it will automatically retract and reset through the magnetic ring.

[0035] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this application is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that this application can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from its essential characteristics. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered exemplary and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this application is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims are intended to be included within this application. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
