[0028] With the rapid development of smart wearable technology, smartwatches have become one of the most important smart devices in people's lives. They not only display the time in real time but also integrate various functions such as health monitoring, message reminders, and activity tracking. Among the many functions of smartwatches, the camera function has gradually become a feature that attracts much attention from users. Currently, there are various ways to implement the camera function in smartwatches on the market. Some smartwatches use a built-in fixed camera; however, this design exposes the camera to the elements for extended periods, making it susceptible to damage from dust, scratches, etc., affecting the camera's lifespan and image quality.

[0029] To solve the above problems, please refer to... Figures 1 to 4 This utility model proposes a smartwatch 100, including a watch body 1 and a camera assembly 2. The side wall of the watch body 1 forms an installation channel 11. The camera assembly 2 includes a slide 21 and a camera body 22. The slide 21 is disposed in the installation channel 11 and forms an installation cavity. The camera body 22 is disposed in the installation cavity. The slide 21 can slide back and forth along the extension direction of the installation channel 11 to realize the extension and retraction of the camera body 22.

[0030] This utility model proposes a smartwatch 100, including a watch body 1 and a camera assembly 2. The watch body 1 serves as the basic structure of the smartwatch 100, and the mounting channel 11 formed on its side wall provides space for the installation and movement of the camera assembly 2. A slide 21 in the camera assembly 2 is located within the mounting channel 11, forming a mounting cavity in which the camera body 22 is located. The slide 21 can slide back and forth along the extension direction of the mounting channel 11, realizing the telescopic function of the camera body 22. This allows the camera body 22 to be retracted into the watch body 1 when the smartwatch 100 is not in use, maintaining the watch's simple and aesthetically pleasing appearance and reducing the risk of damage from an exposed camera body 22. When the camera 221 is needed, it can be pulled out from the mounting channel 11 to extend the camera body 22, meeting the needs of functions such as shooting. This provides users with a flexible and convenient way to use the camera 221, helps protect the camera 221, extends its service life, and enhances the multifunctionality and user experience of the smartwatch 100.

[0031] In an optional embodiment, to facilitate achieving a waterproof seal for the smartwatch 100, please refer to... Figure 3 and Figure 4 The camera assembly 2 also includes a seal 3, with a mounting groove 21a formed on the periphery of the side wall. The seal 3 is engaged in the mounting groove 21a and the outer peripheral wall of the seal 3 abuts against the inner side wall of the mounting channel 11.

[0032] The presence of the seal 3 isolates external dust, moisture, and other foreign objects, preventing them from entering the watch body 1 through the gap between the mounting channel 11 and the slide 21, thus avoiding damage to internal electronic components or affecting their normal operation. Since the smartwatch 100 typically comes into contact with the skin and is used in various environments, the sealing design is particularly important. It ensures the stability and durability of the watch during daily use, wearing, and even in harsh environments, extending the lifespan of the smartwatch 100, guaranteeing the reliable operation of its various functions, and also helping to maintain the cleanliness and stability of the internal structure. By fitting the seal 3 into the mounting groove 21a, it facilitates the installation and positioning of the seal 3, ensuring the stability of the seal 3 installed on the side wall of the slide 21. Furthermore, when the slide 21 moves in and out of the mounting channel 11, the mounting groove 21a can limit the movement of the seal 3, ensuring that the seal 3 can stably follow the movement of the slide 21 and always maintain contact with the inner wall of the mounting channel 11, thus ensuring the sealing effect of the smartwatch 100.

[0033] In an optional embodiment, the seal 3 is a rubber ring.

[0034] Rubber rings, as a common sealing material, possess excellent elasticity, flexibility, and sealing performance. They can tightly conform to the inner wall of the mounting groove 21a and the mounting channel 11. During the reciprocating sliding of the slide 21, the rubber ring can undergo elastic deformation while maintaining an effective seal, and will not easily be damaged or lose its sealing function due to friction or long-term use. Compared to seals made of other materials, rubber rings are relatively inexpensive, easy to process and install, and can adapt to certain temperature changes, maintaining stable sealing performance within the daily operating temperature range of the smartwatch 100. In other embodiments, the seal 3 can also be a silicone ring or a plastic ring, which can be selected according to actual needs.

[0035] In an alternative embodiment, to limit the travel of slide 21, please refer to... Figures 2 to 4 The camera assembly 2 also includes a limiting member 4, which is located at the top of the slide 21. The limiting member 4 can move with the slide 21 to abut the end of the mounting channel 11 to achieve limiting.

[0036] The limiting member 4 is designed to control the extension range of the camera body 22, preventing the slide 21 from sliding excessively within the mounting channel 11, which could cause the camera body 22 to extend too far and detach from the watch body 1, thus protecting the structural stability and normal function of the camera assembly 2. In actual use, when the slide 21 slides to a certain extent, the limiting member 4 contacts the watch body 1 and generates a resisting force, limiting further movement of the slide 21 and ensuring that the camera body 22 always remains within a suitable position range. When the camera body 22 extends, the limiting member 4 prevents it from extending too far and being easily damaged by external impacts, which helps improve the operational stability and lifespan of the smartwatch 100, while also providing users with a more precise user experience and avoiding damage to the camera assembly 2 due to misoperation.

[0037] In an optional embodiment, the limiting member 4 is a limiting protrusion, and a groove 21b is formed at the top of the slide 21, and the limiting protrusion is engaged in the groove 21b.

[0038] This structural design makes the connection between the limiting component 4 and the slide 21 more robust and stable. The slot 21b provides a fixed position for the limiting protrusion. When the slide 21 slides within the mounting channel 11, the limiting protrusion moves accordingly within the slot 21b, preventing easy detachment or displacement, thus ensuring the reliable operation of the limiting function. In actual manufacturing and assembly, this cooperation between the slot 21b and the limiting protrusion facilitates production and installation, improving production efficiency and reducing production costs. Furthermore, during long-term use, this structure can withstand a certain amount of friction and external force, reducing the risk of loosening or damage to the limiting component 4, ensuring the stability and accuracy of the telescopic function of the smartwatch 100 camera assembly 2, and providing users with a clear and stable shooting experience. In addition, the detachable connection between the limiting protrusion and the slot 21b also facilitates the assembly and disassembly of the camera assembly 2. In this embodiment, the slide 21 is slidably installed within the mounting channel 11, and the dimensions of the two opposite ends of the slide 21 are one larger and one smaller, so that the slide 21 can be inserted into the mounting channel 11 along the smaller end for assembly, while the larger end can limit the travel of the slide 21. Specifically, a slot 21b is provided at the smaller end of the slide 21, and the slide 21 is pulled outward by engaging a limiting protrusion in the slot 21b. The larger end is located on the outside of the mounting channel 11 to limit the inward travel of the slide 21, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the slide 21.

[0039] In an optional embodiment, for ease of pulling out the camera component 2, please refer to... Figures 1 to 3 The camera body 22 includes a camera 221 and a grip 222. The grip 222 is connected to one end of the camera 221 and is exposed on the body 1.

[0040] The grip 222 provides users with convenient direct operation of the camera 221. Users can easily hold the grip 222 to control the extension and retraction of the camera body 22 or perform shooting operations. Since the grip 222 is exposed on the slide rail 21, users can more intuitively feel the position and status of the camera body 22 during use, facilitating precise operations such as adjusting the shooting angle and stabilizing the shooting image. For example, when taking selfies or shooting distant objects, users can better grasp the direction and distance of the camera 221 through the grip 222, improving the success rate and quality of the shot. Furthermore, the grip 222 also provides some protection, preventing the lens of the camera 221 from being directly impacted or scratched during extension and retraction, further enhancing the practicality and durability of the camera assembly 2.

[0041] In an optional embodiment, the slide 21 is provided with an installation track, which is arranged in a ring along the inner peripheral wall of the slide 21. The camera body 22 is connected to the installation track at one end near the installation track and can rotate relative to the slide 21 along the installation track.

[0042] The mounting track allows the camera body 22 to not only extend and retract within the mounting channel 11 for easy pulling, but also to rotate relative to the slide rail 21 to adjust the shooting angle, greatly expanding the functionality and flexibility of the camera 221. Users can freely adjust the rotation angle of the camera 221 according to actual shooting needs, achieving multi-angle shooting and meeting more diverse shooting scenario requirements. For example, when shooting objects at special angles or making video calls, the direction of the camera 221 can be easily adjusted, improving ease of use and shooting effects. At the same time, this rotating structure adds more creativity and possibilities to the camera 221 function of the smartwatch 100, making it more competitive in the field of shooting applications for smart wearable devices.

[0043] In an alternative embodiment, the sidewall of the slide 21 is formed with a notch, through which the lens of the camera body 22 is exposed.

[0044] The notch design allows the lens of the camera body 22 to clearly capture external images or video information, ensuring visibility during shooting. When the camera body 22 extends, retracts, and rotates within the slide rail 21, the lens maintains a clear view of the external environment through the notch, preventing any obstruction of the slide rail 21 from affecting the shooting quality. This structural design rationally optimizes the spatial relationship between the slide rail 21 and the camera body 22, maximizing the shooting function while ensuring the camera body 22 can extend, retract, and rotate normally. For example, during shooting, even when the camera body 22 is in different extension and rotation states, the lens can accurately focus and capture the target object through the notch, providing the user with a stable and clear shooting image, enhancing the practicality and user experience of the smartwatch 100 camera 221. Specifically, in the actual design, the lens of the camera 221 is located on the side wall of the camera body 22 and exposed through the notch in the slide rail 21. When the slide rail 21 is pulled out relative to the watch body 1, the lens also extends to facilitate shooting. The shooting angle can be adjusted by rotating the camera body 22, thus reducing the overall length of the camera assembly 2. In other embodiments, the notch may not be provided, and the lens portion of the camera 221 may be directly positioned outside the slide rail 21. When the camera 221 is not in use, the camera body 22 is housed in the mounting channel 11 along with the slide rail 21. When the camera 221 is needed, the camera body 22 and the slide rail 21 are pulled out of the mounting channel 11 as a whole, and the camera 221 can then take pictures.

[0045] In an optional embodiment, the smartwatch 100 further includes a communication module, a data processing module, and a storage module. The communication module, data processing module, and storage module are electrically connected. The communication module is used to interact with external data, the data processing module is used to process the data collected by the smartwatch 100, and the storage module stores the data.

[0046] The communication module enables the smartwatch 100 to interact with external devices, such as mobile phones and computers, to transmit and share data, such as transmitting photos or videos, receiving and sending messages, thus expanding the smartwatch 100's functionality and application scenarios.

[0047] The Smartwatch 100 features a built-in 4G communication module that supports multiple 4G frequency bands, ensuring stable communication in various network environments. The 4G module connects to the motherboard via a high-speed data interface, guaranteeing fast and stable data transmission. Through this 4G module, the Smartwatch 100 can independently perform functions such as making calls, sending text messages, browsing the web, and uploading and downloading data. For example, users can make and receive calls directly using the Smartwatch 100 outdoors without relying on a mobile phone; after taking photos or videos, they can quickly share files to social media platforms or send them to others via the 4G network.

[0048] The data processing module includes a processor integrated on the motherboard within the smartwatch 100. The processor is responsible for processing various data from the watch, including data received and transmitted by the 4G communication module, image data captured by the camera 221, and data collected by other sensors. It transforms the raw data into user-understandable information or commands, providing timely and accurate feedback and functional support. The storage module includes a SIM card and a storage chip.

[0049] As a common communication storage medium, the SIM card can be used to store users' communication information, contact details, and other data. When the smartwatch 100 has communication capabilities, inserting a SIM card enables communication operations such as making and receiving calls and sending text messages, expanding the smartwatch 100's communication functions and allowing it to perform basic communication activities independently of devices like mobile phones, providing users with a more comprehensive user experience. The storage chip provides additional storage space for storing a large number of images, video files, and other application data captured by the camera 221. This combined storage module design can meet the storage needs of the smartwatch 100 in different usage scenarios, ensuring both the storage and application of communication-related information and providing sufficient storage capacity for multimedia data. This ensures the normal operation of all functions of the smartwatch 100 and prevents it from being affected by insufficient storage space. It also allows users to flexibly select and manage stored content according to their actual needs.
