Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of smartwatch technology, and more specifically, it relates to a smart sports watch with a horizontal scroll wheel control. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of mobile technology, traditional electronic products such as watches have integrated intelligent functions. They can connect to smartphones or the Internet to realize various functions such as caller ID, information push, weather updates, sports assistance, and health monitoring, meeting the specific needs of outdoor sports enthusiasts.

[0003] Existing smartwatches mainly rely on touchscreens and a limited number of physical buttons for interaction, which still have obvious shortcomings in actual use: (1) Low interaction efficiency: Browsing long lists (such as message records and sports data) requires repeated swiping of the screen, which is cumbersome and difficult to control precisely; (2) Limited operation dimensions: Existing physical buttons (such as side buttons) have limited functions, making it difficult to achieve efficient multi-level menu navigation and fine operation, thus limiting the room for improvement in user experience. Therefore, in view of this, we have studied and improved the existing structure and its shortcomings, and provided a smart sports watch with a horizontal scroll wheel control, in order to achieve a more practical value. Utility Model Content

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a smart sports watch with a horizontal scroll wheel control, achieved through the following specific technical means:

[0005] A smart sports watch with a horizontal scroll wheel control includes a lower case, a touch screen mounted on the top of the lower case, and a metal bezel fixedly mounted near the edge of the touch screen. Inside the lower case are a motherboard and a battery electrically connected to the touch screen. A horizontal scroll wheel is rotatably mounted on one side of the lower case, and a shaft is fixedly connected to the central axis of the horizontal scroll wheel. Both ends of the shaft extend into the interior of the lower case. A detection component is installed inside the lower case near the shaft for real-time detection of the shaft's rotation angle.

[0006] Furthermore, the detection component is an encoder, which is fixedly installed inside the lower housing by a bracket; the encoder is electrically connected to the motherboard.

[0007] Furthermore, one end of the shaft is fixedly connected to the input shaft of the encoder; the other end of the shaft is fitted with a bushing, and the bushing is fixedly connected to the lower shell.

[0008] Furthermore, the detection component is an optical tracking sensor, which is fixedly installed inside the lower shell by a bracket and is electrically connected to the motherboard; one end of the shaft is provided with multiple sets of optical markers.

[0009] Furthermore, a pair of connecting lugs are provided at both the top and bottom ends of the lower case; the pair of connecting lugs at the top end are connected to a short watch strap via a shaft, and the pair of connecting lugs at the bottom end are connected to a long watch strap via a shaft.

[0010] Furthermore, the horizontal roller is rotatably mounted between a pair of connecting lugs at the lower end of the lower case, and a clearance is provided between the horizontal roller and the end of the long watch strap.

[0011] Furthermore, a pair of buttons are mounted on the side of the lower shell, and an LED flashlight is installed near the pair of buttons.

[0012] Furthermore, the buttons, LED flashlight, and encoder are all electrically connected to the motherboard via FPC.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] This invention effectively solves the problems of low interaction efficiency and limited operation dimensions in existing smartwatches by setting a horizontal scroll wheel and its matching encoder or optical tracking sensor on the side of the lower casing of the smartwatch. Specifically, users can quickly and smoothly browse long lists (such as messages and sports data) by continuously rotating the horizontal scroll wheel, avoiding the tedious operation of repeatedly swiping the touchscreen. The encoder or optical tracking sensor accurately detects the rotation angle, giving the scroll wheel operation a delicate sense of control. Users can accurately locate the desired content item, greatly improving the efficiency of browsing and selection. At the same time, the horizontal scroll wheel, as a new and independent physical input dimension, complements the existing touchscreen and side buttons, and is particularly suitable for quickly moving through hierarchical menus and finely adjusting parameters (such as volume, brightness, and selection items). This greatly expands the physical interaction capabilities of the smartwatch, simplifies the operation path of complex functions, improves the user experience when navigating menus and performing fine tasks, and also increases the watch's playability.

[0022] The embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are for illustrative purposes only and should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model.

[0023] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more; the terms "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "inner," "outer," "front end," "rear end," "head," "tail," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model. In addition, the terms "first," "second," "third," etc., are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0024] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected" and "linked" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0025] Example 1:

[0026] As attached Figure 1 To be continued Figure 4As shown, this utility model provides a smart sports watch with a horizontal scroll wheel control, including a lower shell 2. A touch screen 3 is installed on the top of the lower shell 2, and a metal bezel 1 is fixedly installed near the edge of the touch screen 3. A motherboard 4 and a battery 5 electrically connected to the touch screen 3 are installed inside the lower shell 2. A horizontal scroll wheel 9 is rotatably installed on one side of the lower shell 2. A shaft core 10 is fixedly connected to the central axis of the horizontal scroll wheel 9. Both ends of the shaft core 10 are inserted into the interior of the lower shell 2. A detection component is installed inside the lower shell 2 near the end of the shaft core 10 for real-time detection of the rotation angle of the shaft core 10.

[0027] The detection component is an encoder 12, which is fixedly installed inside the lower shell 2 by a bracket. The encoder 12 is electrically connected to the motherboard 4. The encoder 12 is triggered by the rotation of the horizontal scroll wheel 9 to accurately detect the rotation angle, providing users with a physical input dimension independent of the touch screen. Users can quickly browse long lists and accurately adjust parameters (such as volume / brightness) through the horizontal scroll wheel 9, which significantly improves operating efficiency and control precision, and solves the pain point of low interaction efficiency of traditional touch screens.

[0028] One end of the shaft core 10 is fixedly connected to the input shaft of the encoder 12; the other end of the shaft core 10 is fitted with a bushing 11, and the bushing 11 is fixedly connected to the lower shell 2. One end of the shaft core 10 directly drives the input shaft of the encoder 12 to ensure lossless transmission of rotation angle; the other end is fixedly connected to the lower shell 2 through the bushing 11 to form a bidirectional support structure to avoid the lateral roller 9 from shaking, improve the angle detection accuracy of the encoder 12, and enhance the mechanical durability of the lateral roller 9.

[0029] The lower shell 2 has a pair of connecting ears at both the top and bottom; the pair of connecting ears at the top is connected to a short watch strap 8 via a shaft, and the pair of connecting ears at the bottom is connected to a long watch strap 7 via a shaft.

[0030] The horizontal roller 9 is rotatably mounted between a pair of connecting lugs at the lower end of the lower case 2, and a clearance is provided between the horizontal roller 9 and the end of the long strap 7. The horizontal roller 9 is integrated between the connecting lugs of the lower case 2, making full use of the space at the bottom of the watch so that the thumb can naturally reach the operation. The clearance effectively isolates the contact between the strap 7 and the roller 9, preventing accidental triggering when the wrist is bent or the strap is displaced, and ensuring the reliability of the interaction.

[0031] The lower case 2 has a pair of buttons 13 mounted on its side, and an LED flashlight 6 is mounted between the buttons 13. The buttons 13 support quick operations (such as confirm / return) and form a complementary control system with the horizontal scroll wheel 9. The centrally located LED flashlight 6 provides lighting and enhances the watch's practicality in outdoor sports scenarios.

[0032] Among them, button 13, LED flashlight 6 and encoder 12 are all electrically connected to motherboard 4 through FPC. The use of flexible circuit board (FPC) for unified connection can reduce the risk of wire tangling, improve the space utilization of motherboard 4 and the overall assembly efficiency, and reduce the probability of connection failure.

[0033] Example 2:

[0034] like Figure 5 As shown, the difference from Embodiment 1 is that the detection component is an optical tracking sensor 14, which is fixedly installed inside the lower housing 2 by a bracket and is electrically connected to the main board 4; one end of the shaft core 10 is provided with multiple sets of optical markers. The use of non-contact optical sensing technology to replace the physical contact encoder fundamentally eliminates mechanical wear, greatly extending the service life of the roller module. At the same time, the absence of physical contacts means completely silent operation, improving the user experience.

[0035] A specially designed optical marker fixedly installed at one end of the shaft core 10 rotates synchronously with the transverse roller, forming a dynamic identification target. The optical tracking sensor 14 fixed inside the lower shell 2 continuously emits light and captures the optical signals reflected back by these high-speed moving markers. By performing real-time calculation and analysis on the frequency, phase and quantity of the reflected light sequence, the sensor can accurately track the displacement trajectory of the markers, and then calculate the rotation angle, speed and direction changes of the shaft core at any time. Finally, these high-precision digital signals are transmitted to the motherboard 4 in real time through the circuit, providing reliable control input for the system.

[0036] The embodiments of this utility model are given for illustrative and descriptive purposes only, and are not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the utility model to the forms disclosed. Many modifications and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art. The embodiments were chosen and described in order to better illustrate the principles and practical applications of this utility model, and to enable those skilled in the art to understand this utility model and design various embodiments with various modifications suitable for a particular purpose.
