[0001] This application belongs to the field of wearable device technology, and in particular relates to an adjustment knob and a watch. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of technology, electronic sports watches have gradually become more widespread. Currently, users' expectations for electronic sports watches go far beyond just functionality. Today's sports watches are powerful and feature-rich, accurately monitoring heart rate, recording exercise routes, and offering various functions such as sleep monitoring and smart reminders. However, while pursuing functionality, users also crave the feel and user experience of traditional watches.

[0003] To achieve powerful functions, most watches on the market today integrate numerous electronic components, resulting in a decreasing number of mechanical parts. Consequently, the unique tactile pleasure of operating a watch, reminiscent of traditional watches, is severely diminished. The subtle tactile feedback of turning the crown to adjust the time and winding the watch is now replaced by simple touch controls or button clicks, significantly reducing the overall tactile experience.

[0037] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The adjustment knob 100 provided in this application embodiment includes a crown 10, a feedback element 20, and a spring 30.

[0038] In this regard, please combine Figure 4 The crown 10 includes a cover 11 and a pivot 12. One end of the pivot 12 is fixedly mounted on the cover 11, and the other end of the pivot 12 is disposed in the mounting hole 211. When the user rotates the crown 10, the pivot 12 rotates synchronously. The crown 10 can be made of stainless steel, ceramic, plastic, etc., and this embodiment does not limit the material.

[0039] In this regard, please combine Figure 5 The feedback element 20 is fixedly sleeved on the rotating shaft 12. The feedback element 20 includes a first protrusion 21 and a recess 22. The first protrusion 21 and the recess 22 alternately and cyclically form the feedback element. When the crown 10 rotates on the rotating shaft 12, the feedback element 20 rotates synchronously.

[0040] Optionally, the relationship between the distance between the protruding edges of the first protrusion 21 and the distance between the recessed edges of the recessed portion 22 is not limited; the relationship between the distance between the protruding edges of each first protrusion 21 is not limited, and the relationship between the distance between the recessed edges of each recessed portion 22 is not limited.

[0041] Preferably, the distance between the protruding edges of each first protrusion 21 and the distance between the recessed edges of each recess 22 are equal. This allows the spring 30 to emit a uniform and regular sound when the crown is rotated at a constant speed, thus avoiding irritation to the user's ears.

[0042] Optionally, the feedback component 20 can be a gear or other part, and the material of the feedback component 20 can be stainless steel, brass, plastic, etc. The embodiments of this application do not limit this.

[0043] In this design, the spring 30 contacts the feedback element 20, and the pressing portion of the spring 30 and the feedback element 20 generates a mutual squeezing force, causing the spring 30 and the feedback element 20 to stick together and maintain a relatively fixed position. When the crown 10 is rotated to drive the feedback element 20 to rotate, the spring 30 alternately contacts the first protrusion 21 and the recess 22, causing the spring 30 to bounce and strike the recess 22 to produce a sound, providing a clear sense of gear shifting and operational quality, and enhancing the user experience.

[0044] Optionally, there may be one or more spring pieces 30, which are parallel and unconnected to each other, and each spring piece 30 abuts against the feedback element 20. The material of the spring piece 30 may be stainless steel, copper alloy, spring steel, plastic, etc., and this embodiment does not limit the material.

[0045] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 4 The cover 11 forms a receiving groove 13, and one end of the rotating shaft 12 is set on the bottom wall of the receiving groove 13.

[0046] The feedback element 20 is fixedly sleeved on the rotating shaft 12 and located at the end connected to the receiving groove 13. The feedback element 20 is in contact with the bottom wall of the receiving groove 13.

[0047] Optionally, the outer layer of the cover 11 can be smooth or have multiple ridges. The multiple ridges can be evenly distributed, layered, or unevenly distributed. Evenly distributed ridges can enhance the friction between the user's fingers and the cover 11, providing the user with a smooth sense of rhythm and operation.

[0048] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 The spring 30 includes a second protrusion 31, and the second protrusion 31 and the feedback element 20 are interference-fitted.

[0049] When the feedback element 20 is not rotating, the second protrusion 31 is located in a recess 22, providing some resistance to the rotation of the feedback element 20. When the feedback element 20 rotates, the second protrusion 31 is driven away from the original recess 22, passes the adjacent first protrusion 21, and, under the elastic force of the spring 30, strikes into the next recess 22 and makes a sound. As the feedback element 20 continues to rotate, the second protrusion 31 continuously leaves the recess 22, passes the adjacent first protrusion 21, and strikes into a new recess 22, continuously emitting clear sounds and providing some resistance to the user's rotation operation, thus improving the user's operating feel.

[0050] Optionally, the spring 30 may include one or more second protrusions 31. These second protrusions 31 are located between different recesses 22 and abut against each other. Optionally, the second protrusions 31 may be located between adjacent recesses 22, between recesses 22 spaced by the same number of recesses 22, or between recesses 22 spaced by different numbers (natural numbers). When the feedback member 20 rotates, the multiple second protrusions 31 can produce a louder sound and provide greater resistance to offer the user a more noticeable tactile feedback.

[0051] Optionally, the spring 30 may include multiple elastic parts connected together, with both ends of the multiple elastic parts connected to one end of an adjacent elastic part, or partially connected and partially spaced apart.

[0052] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 The dimensions of the second protrusion 31 match the dimensions of the recess 22 of the feedback member 20.

[0053] Specifically, the distance between the protruding edges of the second protrusion 31 and the distance between the recessed edges of the recessed portion 22 are equal, or the difference between the distance between the protruding edges of the second protrusion 31 and the distance between the recessed edges of the recessed portion 22 is within a preset difference range, which is a value set based on experience.

[0054] When the feedback element 20 is not rotated, the second protrusion 31 abuts against the recess 22 of the feedback element 20, preventing the spring 30 from becoming loose from the feedback element 20 and enhancing the stability of the adjustment knob 100.

[0055] In some embodiments, the spring 30 includes a first elastic portion 32 and a second elastic portion 33. The first elastic portion 32 is provided with one or more second protrusions 31, and the second elastic portion 33 is provided with one or more second protrusions 31. In this way, the resistance effect with the recess 22 of the feedback member 20 can be enhanced, and a more obvious sound and operation feel can be provided when the feedback member rotates.

[0056] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 The second protrusion 31 of the first elastic part 32 and the second protrusion 31 of the second elastic part 33 are symmetrical about the central axis of the feedback member 20.

[0057] Optionally, the second protrusion 31 of the first elastic part 32 and the second protrusion 31 of the second elastic part 33 may be centrally symmetrical about the central axis of the feedback member 20, that is, the line connecting the protruding vertex of any second protrusion 31 of the first elastic part 32 and the protruding vertex of the second protrusion 31 of the second elastic part 33 that has one and only one corresponding second protrusion 31 passes through the central axis of the feedback member 20; or the second protrusion 31 of the first elastic part 32 and the second protrusion 31 of the second elastic part 33 may be axially symmetrical about a plane containing the central axis of the feedback member 20.

[0058] As the feedback element 20 continues to rotate, the second protrusions 31 of the first elastic portion 32 and the second elastic portion 33 provide the user with a clearer and more distinct sound and rotational resistance, further enhancing the user's experience. Thus, whether the feedback element 20 rotates clockwise or counterclockwise, the symmetrical first elastic portion 32 and the second elastic portion 33 provide the user with the same sound feedback and user experience.

[0059] Meanwhile, the symmetrical first elastic part 32 and the second elastic part 33 enable the spring piece 30 to withstand greater external forces, thereby enhancing the structural stability of the spring piece 30.

[0060] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 The first elastic part 32 and the second elastic part 33 are connected at one end and spaced apart at the other end. The first elastic part 32 and the second elastic part 33 are symmetrical about the central axis of the feedback member 20.

[0061] In this way, the first elastic part 32 and the second elastic part 33 form a triangular or straight structure. When subjected to external force, the connection between the first elastic part 32 and the second elastic part 33 and the other end of the first elastic part 32 and the second elastic part 33 form a mutually restrictive relationship, which can evenly distribute the external force to each part, thereby keeping the structure of the entire spring 30 stable.

[0062] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 The adjustment knob 100 also includes a bar tube 40, which has a through hole 41 and a side wall 42 surrounding the through hole 41. The side wall 42 has a mounting groove 43, and the spring piece 30 is at least partially disposed in the mounting groove 43.

[0063] The bar tube 40 is nested with the crown 10, and internally encloses the feedback element 20 and the spring 30, thus fixing the abutting contact of the feedback element 20 and the spring 30 and enhancing the structural stability of the adjustment knob 100. Optionally, the side wall 42 of the bar tube 40 is connected to the cover 11 of the crown 10, together enclosing the feedback element 20 and the spring 30.

[0064] The sidewall 42 of the bar tube 40 includes at least one mounting groove 43. Parts of the spring 30 (such as when the spring 30 includes a first elastic portion 32 and a second elastic portion 33, wherein the first elastic portion 32 and the second elastic portion 33) are wholly or partially disposed on the mounting groove 43, which can enhance the stability of the adjustment knob 100.

[0065] Optionally, the material of the bar tube 40 can be stainless steel, copper, titanium alloy, ceramic, plastic, etc., and this application embodiment does not limit this.

[0066] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 9 The spring 30 includes a first elastic part 32 and a second elastic part 33. The first elastic part 32 and the second elastic part 33 are connected at one end and spaced apart at the other end. The mounting groove 43 includes a first mounting groove 44, a second mounting groove 45 and a third mounting groove 46. The end of the first elastic part 32 and the second elastic part 33 connected is located in the first mounting groove 44, the other end of the first elastic part 32 is located in the second mounting groove 45, and the other end of the second elastic part 33 is located in the third mounting groove 46.

[0067] When the feedback element 20 rotates, the two ends of the first elastic part 32 and the second elastic part 33 are fixed in place by the mounting groove 43. The second protrusion 31 of the first elastic part 32 and the second elastic part 33 undergoes elastic deformation, alternately contacting the first protrusion 21 and the recess 22, emitting a clear sound and improving the operation quality.

[0068] In this way, the stability of the connection between the spring 30, the feedback element 20, and the bar tube 40 can be maintained, and loosening can be avoided, which would reduce or disable the adjustment effect of the adjustment knob 100.

[0069] Optionally, the number of mounting slots 43 of the bar tube 40 can be one or more, and the elastic part of the spring piece 30 can be one or more corresponding to it, so that the mounting slots 43 fix the spring piece 30 and enhance stability.

[0070] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 10 The rotating shaft 12 is not fixedly installed at one end of the cover 11 and extends into the through hole 41 of the tube 40. The rotating shaft 12 has a rotating groove 14, and a ball bearing 50 is provided between the rotating groove 14 and the inner wall of the through hole 41.

[0071] The size of the ball bearing 50 is comparable to the clearance of the rotating groove 14 to reduce the rotational resistance between the rotating shaft 12 and the through hole 41 when the shaft 12 rotates, and at the same time reduce the wear between the rotating shaft 12 and the through hole 41, so that the adjustment knob 100 can better maintain its performance during long-term use and improve the service life of the adjustment knob 100.

[0072] The ball bearing 50 can be made of stainless steel, ceramic, tungsten carbide, etc., and this application embodiment does not limit this.

[0073] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 10 The adjustment knob 100 also includes a spring 70, which is mounted on the pivot 12 of the crown 10. One end of the spring 70 is tightly engaged with the feedback element 20, and the other end is attached to the bottom of the first tube portion 47 of the bar tube 40. When the crown 10 is pressed, the spring 70 is compressed and deformed. When the pressure on the cover 11 of the crown 10 is removed (e.g., when a finger is removed), the spring 70 returns to its original shape. The spring 70 will not twist or deform as the pivot 12 rotates.

[0074] Spring 70 provides an upward force to feedback element 20 when crown 10 is in the pressed state, thereby driving feedback element 20 to move upward and tightly engage feedback element 20 with receiving groove 13.

[0075] The material of the spring 70 can be stainless steel, beryllium bronze, nickel-titanium alloy, etc., and this application embodiment does not limit it.

[0076] Based on the above description of the adjusting knob 100, this application also provides a watch 200, which is described in detail below:

[0077] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 11 and Figure 12 The watch 200 provided in this application embodiment includes a housing 210 and the aforementioned adjustment knob 100. The housing 210 has a mounting hole 211, and the adjustment knob 100 is disposed in the mounting hole 211.

[0078] The mounting hole 211 can be located on either side of the housing 210. The adjustment knob 100 is abutted against the mounting hole 211, which can achieve a good waterproof seal, ensuring that the watch 200 can work normally in water without water ingress. By rotating the adjustment knob 100, clear audible feedback and a good tactile feel can be provided to the user, improving the user experience.

[0079] The material of the housing 210 can be plastic, engineering plastic, etc., and this application embodiment does not limit this.

[0080] In some embodiments, please continue reading Figure 11 and Figure 12 The mounting hole 211 includes a first region 212, a second region 213, and a third region 214, the diameters of which decrease sequentially. The adjustment knob 100 includes a bar tube 40, which includes a first tube body 47 and a second tube body 48. The diameter of the first tube body 47 is larger than the diameter of the second tube body 48. The first tube body 47 is disposed in the second region 213 and the third region 214, and the second tube body 48 is partially disposed in the first region 212.

[0081] Mounting hole 211 is divided into three areas with progressively smaller diameters to better fit the structure of bar tube 40, ensuring a secure connection between bar tube 40 and components such as crown 10 and the watch case, thus enhancing the stability of the watch 200 structure.

[0082] Optionally, the mounting hole 211 may have one or more areas with different diameters, and the bar tube 40 may have one or more tube parts corresponding to it. The bar tube 40 and the mounting hole 211 are tightly connected to enhance the water resistance and stability of the watch 200.

[0083] In some embodiments, please continue reading Figure 12 The bottom wall of the first tube body 47, the side wall 142 of the second tube body 48, and the inner wall of the mounting hole 211 form a mounting cavity 60, in which a ball bearing 50 is provided.

[0084] The mounting cavity 60 is annular and is located between the bottom wall of the first tube body 47 and the fixed wall of the third region 214, and simultaneously between the side wall 142 of the second tube body 48 and the inner wall of the second region 213.

[0085] When the shaft 12 rotates, the bar tube 40 may rotate to a certain extent, and there is friction between the bar tube 40 and the mounting hole 211. The mounting cavity 60 with ball bearings 50 is provided between the bar tube 40 and the mounting hole 211 to reduce the friction and wear between the bar tube 40 and the mounting hole 211, and improve the service life of the adjustment knob 100 and the watch 200.

[0086] Optionally, the mounting cavity 60 with ball bearing 50 can be disposed between the side wall 142 of the first tube body portion 47 of the bar tube 40 and the outer wall of the first tube body portion 47 of the mounting hole 211, or it can be disposed between the side wall 142 of the second tube body portion 48 of the bar tube 40 and the outer wall of the third tube body portion of the mounting hole 211, etc., at the connection between the bar tube 40 and the mounting hole 211. This application embodiment does not limit this.

[0087] In some embodiments, the balls 50 in the rotating groove 14 and / or mounting cavity 60 can be replaced with components that can reduce friction, such as self-lubricating materials, and this application embodiment does not limit this.
