Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of watch sealing ring technology, and more particularly to a smart wearable watch and a sealing component. Background Technology

[0002] In related technologies, a small triangular groove with a side length of about 0.15mm-0.2mm is machined on the sealing surface of the metal watch case. When the watch display is assembled, the display will squeeze and deform the sealing ring, so that part of the sealing ring is embedded in the small triangular groove to form a mechanical buckle structure, thereby achieving the dual functions of fixing and sealing.

[0003] However, due to the small size of the triangular groove, the bonding strength of the inverted structure is insufficient. When the watch is subjected to negative pressure testing, the mechanical interlocking force generated by the inverted structure cannot effectively resist the interface separation stress, causing a certain proportion of the samples to experience display screen displacement or loosening. Utility Model Content

[0004] This application provides a smart wearable watch and a sealing component, which can improve the technical problem that the watch is not sealed properly, causing the display screen to shift or become loose during airtightness testing.

[0005] In a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide a sealing element for a smart wearable watch, characterized in that the sealing element comprises:

[0006] An annular sealing body is used to be disposed between the watch case and the display screen of the smart wearable watch, and to surround the display screen;

[0007] A first elastic abutment portion is connected to the annular sealing body and is located on the outside of the annular sealing body. The first elastic abutment portion extends around the axis of the annular sealing body and is used to connect the watch case.

[0008] The second elastic abutment portion is connected to the annular sealing body and is located inside the annular sealing body. The second elastic abutment portion extends around the axis of the annular sealing body and is used to connect the display screen.

[0009] In some embodiments, the first elastic abutment portion surrounds the axis of the annular seal body, and the axis of the first elastic abutment portion coincides with the axis of the annular seal body.

[0010] In some embodiments, the first resilient abutment portion is connected to the middle portion of the annular seal.

[0011] In some embodiments, along the axial direction of the annular seal, the distance between the bottom end of the first elastic abutment and the bottom end of the annular seal is a, and the distance between the top end of the first elastic abutment and the top end of the annular seal is b, where a and b satisfy: a = b.

[0012] In some embodiments, the second elastic abutment has a connecting end and a contact end, the connecting end being connected to the annular sealing body, and the contact end being used to connect to the display screen. The second elastic abutment has a dimension c along the axial direction of the annular sealing body, and c gradually decreases from the connecting end toward the contact end.

[0013] In some embodiments, the annular sealing body, the first elastic abutment portion, and the second elastic abutment portion are integrally formed.

[0014] Secondly, embodiments of this application also provide a smart wearable watch, which includes:

[0015] The watch case has a receiving cavity and an inner wall defining the receiving cavity, the inner wall being provided with a first annular groove;

[0016] A display screen is disposed within the receiving cavity;

[0017] The sealing element as described in any of the preceding claims is disposed within the receiving cavity and located between the watch case and the display screen, wherein the first elastic abutment portion is located within the first annular groove, and the second elastic abutment portion is connected to the display screen.

[0018] In some embodiments, the inner sidewall is provided with an annular boss, and the annular boss and the first annular groove are arranged at intervals along a direction perpendicular to the groove depth of the first annular groove. The seal and the display screen are both placed on the annular boss.

[0019] In some embodiments, the smart wearable watch further includes a connection layer disposed on the annular boss and connected to the seal and the display screen.

[0020] In some embodiments, the outer peripheral side of the display screen has a second annular groove, and the second elastic abutment portion is located within the second annular groove.

[0021] The smart wearable watch and sealing component based on the embodiments of this application have at least the following beneficial effects:

[0022] By setting a first annular groove on the inner wall of the watch case, the inner wall defines a receiving cavity, and the first annular groove communicates with the receiving cavity. A sealing element surrounds the display screen, placing both the display screen and the sealing element within the receiving cavity. This allows the sealing element to be pressed between the watch case and the display screen. After the sealing element is compressed in both directions, the first elastic abutment portion of the sealing element is compressed into the first annular groove. The deformed first elastic abutment portion can generate rebound stress, thereby continuously pressing the inner wall surface of the first annular groove. This allows the first elastic abutment portion and the first annular groove to form a first sealing structure, effectively preventing the penetration of water, dust, and other small particles. The second elastic abutment portion of the sealing element can also be compressed between the inner wall of the receiving cavity and the edge of the display screen to form a second sealing structure, which can enhance the sealing performance, further prevent the penetration of water, dust, and other small particles, and also increase the stability between the display screen and the watch case, reducing the probability of the display screen becoming loose.

Detailed Implementation

[0030] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0031] Please see Figures 1 to 3 This application provides a smart wearable watch 100, which includes a watch case 10, a display screen 20, and a sealing member 30. The watch case 10 has a receiving cavity 101 and an inner sidewall 102 defining the receiving cavity 101. The inner sidewall 102 is provided with a first annular groove 103. The display screen 20 and the sealing member 30 are both disposed in the receiving cavity 101, and the sealing member 30 is located between the watch case 10 and the display screen 20. The sealing member 30 surrounds the display screen 20. The first elastic abutment portion 32 of the sealing member 30 is located in the first annular groove 103, and the second elastic abutment portion 33 of the sealing member 30 is connected to the display screen 20 to seal the gap between the display screen 20 and the watch case 10.

[0032] Optionally, the watch case 10 has an annular shape, such as a round watch case 10, a square watch case 10, etc. Along the axial direction of the watch case 10, the watch case 10 has an upper part and a lower part. The upper part of the watch case 10 has a receiving cavity 101 and an inner sidewall 102 defining the receiving cavity 101. The inner sidewall 102 is provided with a first annular groove 103. The first annular groove 103 communicates with the receiving cavity 101 and extends around the axial direction of the watch case 10. The first elastic abutment part 32 and the second elastic abutment part 33 are both protrusions.

[0033] When assembling the smart wearable watch 100, the display screen 20 can be fastened into the receiving cavity 101, and the sealing member 30 is compressed between the display screen 20 and the watch case 10. After the sealing member 30 is bidirectionally squeezed by the watch case 10 and the display screen 20, a part of the sealing member 30 is squeezed into the first annular groove 103, that is, the first elastic abutment part 32 is squeezed into the first annular groove 103. The first elastic abutment part 32 can generate a rebound stress perpendicular to the axis of the watch case 10, thereby continuously pressing the inner wall surface of the first annular groove 103, so that the first elastic abutment part 32 and the first annular groove 103 can form a first sealing structure, which can effectively prevent the penetration of water, dust and other small particles.

[0034] The second elastic abutment portion 33 of the sealing member 30 can also be compressed between the inner wall of the receiving cavity 101 and the edge of the display screen 20, so that the second elastic abutment portion 33 and the edge of the display screen 20 can form a second sealing structure, which can enhance the sealing performance of the smart wearable watch 100 and further prevent the penetration of water, dust and other tiny particles. In addition, after the second elastic abutment portion 33 is squeezed, it can generate a rebound stress perpendicular to the axis of the watch case 10, which can squeeze the display screen 20 and the watch case 10 more stably and reduce the probability of the display screen 20 loosening.

[0035] In another embodiment, the inner sidewall 102 of the watch case 10 may be provided with a first annular protrusion, and the outer peripheral side of the display screen 20 may be provided with a second annular protrusion. Correspondingly, the first elastic abutment 32 and the second elastic abutment 33 are both grooves. When assembling the smart wearable watch 100, the first annular protrusion and the first elastic abutment 32 are inserted to form a first sealing structure, and the second annular protrusion and the second elastic abutment 33 are inserted to form a second sealing structure. This can also effectively prevent the penetration of water, dust and other tiny particles, and reduce the probability of the display screen 20 becoming loose.

[0036] Please see Figures 1 to 4 This application provides a sealing element 30 for a smart wearable watch 100. The sealing element 30 includes an annular sealing body 31, a first elastic abutment portion 32, and a second elastic abutment portion 33. The annular sealing body 31 is disposed between the watch case 10 and the display screen 20, and the annular sealing body 31 surrounds the display screen 20. The first elastic abutment portion 32 and the second elastic abutment portion 33 are respectively connected to opposite sides of the annular sealing body 31. The first elastic abutment portion 32 is located on the side of the annular sealing body 31 facing away from the display screen 20, and the second elastic abutment portion 33 is located on the side of the annular sealing body 31 facing the display screen 20. The first elastic abutment portion 32 is located in the first annular groove 103, and the second elastic abutment portion 33 is connected to the display screen 20 to seal the gap between the display screen 20 and the watch case 10.

[0037] It should be noted that the dimension of the display screen 20 along the axial direction of the case 10 is larger than the dimension of the opening of the first annular groove 103 along the axial direction of the case 10. This prevents the display screen 20 from getting stuck in the first annular groove 103. The dimension of the first elastic abutment part 32 along the axial direction of the case 10 is slightly larger than the dimension of the opening of the first annular groove 103 along the axial direction of the case 10. This allows the first elastic abutment part 32 to be compressed within the first annular groove 103, enabling an interference fit between the first elastic abutment part 32 and the first annular groove 103. This increases the sealing between the first elastic abutment part 32 and the first annular groove 103.

[0038] The dimension of the annular seal 31 along the axial direction of the watch case 10 is approximately equal to the dimension of the display screen 20 along the axial direction of the watch case 10, allowing the annular seal 31 to fully contact the display screen 20, thereby increasing the sealing area between the annular seal 31 and the display screen 20, and further increasing the sealing performance between the annular seal 31 and the display screen 20. In addition, the dimension of the annular seal 31 along the axial direction of the watch case 10 is larger than the dimension of the groove opening of the first annular groove 103 along the axial direction of the watch case 10, so that at least a portion of the annular seal 31 is pressed between the inner sidewall 102 of the watch case 10 and the display screen 20, thereby generating a rebound stress perpendicular to the axial direction of the watch case 10, which can compress the display screen 20 and the watch case 10 more stably, further reducing the probability of the display screen 20 loosening.

[0039] The second elastic abutment portion 33 abuts against the display screen 20 along the axial direction of the annular sealing body 31. The size of the second elastic abutment portion 33 is smaller than the size of the annular sealing body 31, and the second elastic abutment portion 33 extends around the circumference of the annular sealing body 31. When assembling the smart wearable watch 100, the second elastic abutment portion 33 can abut against the display screen 20, and the second elastic abutment portion 33 can generate a rebound force after being squeezed, so as to stably fix the display screen 20 to the watch case 10. Since the size of the second elastic abutment portion 33 is smaller than the size of the annular sealing body 31, when assembling the smart wearable watch 100, the second elastic abutment portion 33 can be more easily fitted onto the outside of the display screen 20, which can reduce the assembly difficulty.

[0040] In this embodiment, the dimension of the annular seal 31 along the axial direction of the watch case 10 is slightly smaller than the dimension of the display screen 20 along the axial direction of the watch case 10. This provides space for the annular seal 31 to deform and extend between the display screen 20 and the inner wall 102 of the watch case 10, preventing the annular seal 31 from protruding between the watch case 10 and the display screen 20 and increasing the aesthetics of the smart wearable watch 100.

[0041] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, the first elastic abutment portion surrounds the axis of the annular seal body, and the axis of the annular seal body 31 coincides with the axis of the first elastic abutment portion 32.

[0042] Optionally, the annular sealing body 31 can be a circular structure, and the first elastic abutment part 32 can also be a circular structure. The first elastic abutment part 32 can be fully pressed into the first annular groove 103 to further increase the sealing between the watch case 10 and the display screen 20.

[0043] Setting the axis of the annular seal 31 to coincide with the axis of the first elastic abutment 32 allows the annular seal 31 and the first elastic abutment 32 to be arranged in a roughly concentric circle. This allows the first elastic abutment 32 and the annular seal 31 to expand uniformly in the circumference when under pressure, thereby reducing the risk of local stress concentration.

[0044] Please see Figure 2 In some embodiments, the first elastic abutment portion 32 is connected to the middle portion of the annular seal 31.

[0045] Optionally, along the axial direction of the watch case 10, the annular sealing body 31 can be sequentially divided into an upper part, a middle part, and a lower part. The first elastic abutment part 32 can be connected to the middle part of the annular sealing body 31, so that the first elastic abutment part 32 is located in the middle position of the annular sealing body 31. Thus, when the first elastic abutment part 32 is pressed into the first annular groove 103, and when the annular sealing body 31 is pressed between the inner sidewall 102 of the watch case 10 and the display screen 20, the sealing member 30 can uniformly apply pressure to the inner sidewall 102 of the watch case 10 and the display screen 20, which can further improve the sealing performance and avoid the risk of leakage caused by local stress concentration.

[0046] Please see Figure 2 In some embodiments, along the axial direction of the annular seal 31, the distance between the bottom end of the first elastic abutment portion 32 and the bottom end of the annular seal 31 is a, and the distance between the top end of the first elastic abutment portion 32 and the top end of the annular seal 31 is b, where a and b satisfy: a = b.

[0047] In this embodiment, the annular sealing body 31 has a first side surface 311 and a second side surface 312 arranged opposite to each other along the axial direction of the annular sealing body 31. The first side surface 311 is the top end of the annular sealing body 31, and the second side surface 312 is the bottom end of the annular sealing body 31. The first elastic abutment portion 32 has a first side wall 321 and a second side wall 322 arranged opposite to each other along the axial direction of the annular sealing body 31. The first side wall 321 is the top end of the first elastic abutment portion 32, and the second side wall 322 is the bottom end of the first elastic abutment portion 32. The first side surface 311, the second side surface 312, the first side wall 321, and the second side wall 322 are arranged opposite to each other along the axial direction of the annular sealing body 31. The sidewalls 322 are all parallel, and the first sidewall 311 is arranged opposite to the first sidewall 321. The distance between the first sidewall 311 and the first sidewall 321 along the axial direction of the annular seal 31 is a. The second sidewall 312 is arranged opposite to the second sidewall 322. The distance between the second sidewall 312 and the second sidewall 322 along the axial direction of the annular seal 31 is b. a and b satisfy: a = b. When a and b satisfy: a = b, the first elastic abutment part 32 is located in the middle position of the annular seal 31, and the seal 30 has a symmetrical structure, which can increase the convenience of assembling the smart wearable watch 100.

[0048] More specifically, taking the axial direction of the annular seal 31 as the vertical direction, when the first side 311 of the annular seal 31 is located above and the second side 312 of the annular seal 31 is located below, assembling the seal 30 from top to bottom into the receiving cavity 101 allows the first elastic abutment 32 to be pressed into the first annular groove 103; when the second side 312 of the annular seal 31 is located above and the first side 311 of the annular seal 31 is located below, assembling the seal 30 from top to bottom into the receiving cavity 101 also allows the first elastic abutment 32 to be pressed into the first annular groove 103. Thus, when assembling the smart wearable watch 100, there is no need to consider the assembly direction of the seal 30, making the assembly of the smart wearable watch 100 more convenient.

[0049] Please see Figure 2 In some embodiments, the second elastic abutment portion 33 has a connecting end and a contact end. The connecting end is connected to the annular sealing body 31, and the contact end is used to abut against the display screen 20. The dimension of the second elastic abutment portion 33 along the axial direction of the annular sealing body 31 is c, and c gradually decreases from the connecting end to the contact end.

[0050] Optionally, the second elastic abutment portion 33 has a first inclined surface and a second inclined surface that are arranged opposite to each other along the axial direction of the annular sealing body 31. Both the first inclined surface and the second inclined surface are connected to the annular sealing body 31, so that the side of the first inclined surface and the second inclined surface connected to the annular sealing body 31 can form a connecting end. The second elastic abutment portion 33 also has a contact surface. The first inclined surface, the contact surface and the second inclined surface are connected in sequence. The contact surface abuts against the display screen 20. The contact surface can be the end face of the contact end. The distance between the first inclined surface and the second inclined surface along the axial direction of the annular sealing body 31 is c. The distance c gradually decreases towards the contact surface. So that the dimension of the connecting end along the axial direction of the annular sealing body 31 is greater than the dimension of the contact end along the axial direction of the annular sealing body 31, so that the structural strength of the connecting end is greater than the structural strength of the contact end. The connecting end can provide sufficient support for the contact end to ensure that the contact end abuts against the display screen 20 when assembling the smart wearable watch 100.

[0051] In some embodiments, the annular sealing body 31 is integrally formed with the first elastic abutment portion 32 and the second elastic abutment portion 33, so that the sealing element 30 is formed by material in one step. The annular sealing body 31, the first elastic abutment portion 32 and the second elastic abutment portion 33 can achieve zero seam and zero gap, which can reduce the risk of leakage and reduce assembly steps.

[0052] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3In some embodiments, the inner sidewall 102 of the case 10 is provided with an annular boss 104. The annular boss 104 and the first annular groove 103 are arranged at intervals along the groove depth direction perpendicular to the first annular groove 103. The seal 30 and the display screen 20 are both placed on the annular boss 104.

[0053] Optionally, with the groove depth direction perpendicular to the first annular groove 103 as the vertical direction, the second elastic abutment 33 is located below the first annular groove 103. When assembling the smart wearable watch 100, the display screen 20 and the sealing member 30 can both be placed on the annular boss 104. The annular boss 104 can provide support, so that the display screen 20 can be stably assembled on the watch case 10, and the sealing member 30 can also be squeezed into the first annular groove 103. By setting the annular boss 104, the smart wearable watch 100 is easier to assemble, and the display screen 20 can be installed more firmly.

[0054] Please see Figure 2 In some embodiments, the smart wearable watch 100 further includes a connection layer 40, which is disposed on the annular boss 104 and is connected to the seal 30 and the display screen 20.

[0055] Optionally, the connecting layer 40 can be double-sided adhesive. When assembling the smart wearable watch 100, the connecting layer 40 is first pasted onto the annular boss 104, and then the sealing element 30 and the display screen 20 are installed on the annular boss 104, so that the connecting layer 40 is bonded to the sealing element 30 and the display screen 20, thereby fixing the sealing element 30 and the display screen 20 to the annular boss 104. The display screen 20 is installed more firmly, and the sealing effect of the sealing element 30 is better.

[0056] Please see Figure 2 In some embodiments, the outer peripheral side of the display screen 20 has a second annular groove 201, and the second elastic abutment portion 33 is located in the second annular groove 201.

[0057] Optionally, the second annular groove 201 surrounds the display screen 20, and the second elastic abutment 33 is pressed into the second annular groove 201, so that the second elastic abutment 33 and the second annular groove 201 can form a second sealing structure, further increasing the sealing performance. In addition, the second elastic abutment 33 pressed into the second annular groove 201 can generate a rebound force, increasing the stability between the display screen and the casing, and further reducing the probability of the display screen becoming loose.
