[0035] This utility model embodiment provides a smartwatch with a removable battery, such as... Figures 1-10 As shown, the smartwatch with a removable battery includes:

[0036] The middle frame 210 and the back cover 220 are connected to one end face of the middle frame 210. The display screen 110 is disposed on the end face of the middle frame 210 away from the back cover 220. The connection method between the middle frame 210 and the display screen 110 is the same as that in the prior art. The back cover 220 is connected to the middle frame 210 by a snap-fit ​​connection.

[0037] The middle frame 210 has a battery compartment 230 for filling batteries inside, and the rear cover 220 is snapped onto the battery compartment 230. Here, the middle frame 210 is provided with two sets of locking members 250 for locking the rear cover 220.

[0038] The locking member 250 includes an upper cover 251, a lower cover 252, a locking rod 254, and a pressing member 253. The upper cover 251 and the lower cover 252 are provided with locking cavities. The pressing member 253 passes through the upper cover 251 and the lower cover 252 and the locking cavity between the upper cover 251 and the lower cover 252. The locking rod 254 is disposed in the locking cavity and arranged perpendicular to the pressing member 253. When the pressing member 253 is pressed down, the locking rod 254 slides perpendicular to the pressing direction of the pressing member 253 to retract into the locking cavity. When the pressing member 253 is reset, the locking rod 254 slides out of the locking cavity again and inserts into the locking hole groove 222 provided on the rear cover 220.

[0039] A main control board is provided between the battery compartment 230 and the display screen 110. A PCB board 130 for charging is provided between the battery compartment 230 and the back cover 220. A flexible connecting strip 140 is provided on the PCB board 130. The battery compartment 230 adopts a rectangular box structure, wherein the end of the battery compartment 230 near the back cover 220 is an open structure. A battery pack 320 is provided inside the battery compartment 230. The battery pack 320 is put into the battery compartment 230 from the end of the battery compartment 230 near the back cover 220. After the battery pack 320 is put into the battery compartment 230, the PCB board 130 is placed on top of the battery pack 320. A battery holder for connecting the main control board is provided inside the battery compartment 230. The battery pack 320 is electrically connected to the battery holder. A terminal 206 electrically connected to the battery holder is provided on the outside of the battery compartment 230. When the battery compartment 230 is pressed into the receiving cavity 201 formed on the middle frame 210, the terminal 206 contacts and connects with the power base provided on the main control board.

[0040] The PCB board 130 is electrically connected to the main control board via a flexible connecting strip 140. When the back cover 220 is opened, the battery pack 320 can be replaced. The flexible connection of the flexible connecting strip 140 allows the structure formed by the battery compartment 230 and the back cover 220 to be flipped away from the receiving cavity 201 formed on the middle frame 210, thus avoiding the influence of the circuit on the main control board during disassembly. The main control board is a structure of the existing smartwatch control motherboard, and the main control board is electrically connected to the display screen 110. The flexible connecting strip 140 extends out between the battery compartment 230 and the back cover 220 and connects to the main control board. The power terminals provided on the PCB board 130 are connected to the outside through the terminal sockets provided on the back cover 220. The flexible connecting strip 140 and the PCB board 130 mainly help the main control board to build a charging circuit channel with the outside.

[0041] In this application, the battery compartment 230 and the back cover 220 are connected to form an integral structure. After the locking member 250 used to lock the back cover 220 and the middle frame 210 is released from limiting the back cover 220, the battery compartment 230 and the back cover 220 are completely removed from the middle frame 210. Then, the battery compartment 230 and the back cover 220 are separated to complete the disassembly. The above reasonable configuration realizes the detachable design of the battery pack 320, which meets the purpose of quick and easy battery removal for smartwatches. When the charging dock of the smartwatch is not carried, the detachable battery design allows for timely power replenishment of the smartwatch by directly replacing the battery when charging is inconvenient.

[0042] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the rear cover 220 is fitted onto the end of the battery compartment 230 away from the main control board; the side wall of the battery compartment 230 is provided with a slot, and the rear cover 220 is provided with a buckle 221 that matches the slot;

[0043] In this embodiment, a sealing ring is provided on the end face of the middle frame 210 that contacts the rear cover 220. When the rear cover 220 and the battery compartment 230 are engaged and connected by the slot and the buckle 221, the sealing ring fills the gap between the rear cover 220 and the middle frame 210.

[0044] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the pressing member 253 includes a pressing part 2531 and side pushing parts 2532 on both sides of the pressing part 2531. The locking rod 254 includes an insertion rod 2541 and a pushing rod 2542 perpendicular to the insertion rod 2541. The pushing rod 2542 is located between the two sets of side pushing parts 2532. Here, the side pushing part 2532 has an inclined contact surface, which is in contact with the pushing rod 2542. When the pressing part 2531 moves downward, it pushes the pushing rod 2542 closer together, causing the insertion rod 2541 to leave the locking hole groove 222.

[0045] In this embodiment, both the upper cover 251 and the lower cover 252 are provided with slots to accommodate the pressing part 253. The pressing part 2531 extends out of the slot on the upper cover 251 and extends out of the rear cover 220 through the pressing hole. The lower cover 252 is also provided with a spring support plate. A reset spring 255 is nested at the end of the insertion rod 2541 near the push rod 2542. After the pressing part 2531 moves upward, the reset spring 255 pushes the insertion rod 2541 into the locking hole slot 222.

[0046] The pressing component 253 also includes a main pushing part 2533, which is located directly below the pressing part 2531 and extends through a slot on the lower cover 252. The middle frame 210 is provided with a watch strap groove 203 for assembling the watch strap structure. The main pushing part 2533 extends into a locking groove 204 on the middle frame 210 that communicates with the watch strap groove 203. The main pushing part 2533 limits the watch strap located in the watch strap groove 203 through the locking groove 204.

[0047] The watch strap slots 203 described here are in two sets, used to house the first watch strap 410 and the second watch strap 420 respectively. Both the first watch strap 410 and the second watch strap 420 are equipped with a watch strap locking mechanism 430. The locking mechanism 430 has a protrusion that matches the locking slot 204. When the first watch strap 410 or the second watch strap 420 is inserted into the watch strap slot 203, the protrusion will engage in the locking slot 204. As the pressing part 2531 and the main pushing part 2533 are pressed down, the protrusion will be pushed out of the locking slot 204 to unlock. The first watch strap 410 and the second watch strap 420 are made of silicone material. Therefore, squeezing will cause the first watch strap 410 or the second watch strap 420 to deform, thereby creating space for the watch strap locking mechanism 430 to move. The first watch strap 410, the second watch strap 420 and the watch strap locking mechanism 430 are existing technology structures.

[0048] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the end face of the battery pack 320 is provided with a battery pad 310. The battery pad 310 shields the portion of the battery pack 320 not covered by the PCB board 130. The battery pack 320 is flexibly connected to the back cover 220 through the battery pad 310, thereby avoiding hard contact between the battery pack 320 and the back cover 220 and reducing damage.

[0049] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the battery compartment 230 is provided with a battery holder for connecting to the main control board. The battery pack 320 is electrically connected to the battery holder. The battery holder is provided with positive and negative terminals, which are adapted to the preset positive and negative positions of the battery pack 320. The battery holder circuit connects to the main control board after passing through the battery compartment 230. The PCB board 130 is provided with power terminals, and the rear cover 220 is provided with terminal sockets that accommodate the power terminals extending out of the rear cover 220.

[0050] The structure of the PCB board 130 described here, including the electrical terminals and coils, is the same as that in the prior art.
