Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of smart ring technology, and specifically to a multifunctional ring. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous advancement of smart wearable technology, smart rings have gained widespread popularity among consumers due to their unique wearing method and portability. However, existing smart rings are relatively rigid in design and configuration, unable to adapt to changes in user needs by changing functional modules. Furthermore, smart rings typically come in only one diameter size, but different users have different finger diameters; a ring that is too large or too small will affect wearing comfort. Offering multiple different diameter smart rings would easily lead to production waste, and the fit between the smart ring and the user's finger has not been significantly improved, failing to fit the user's finger well, resulting in low detection accuracy when detecting the user. Utility Model Content

[0003] To overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to invent a multifunctional ring that can replace different functional modules in real time according to usage needs and can be well adapted to the fingers of different users.

[0004] The present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] A multifunctional ring, comprising:

[0006] The main body is arc-shaped, with an installation groove on the inner side of the main body and a receiving cavity inside the main body. A flexible battery is installed in the receiving cavity, and a first electrical contact is installed on the side of the installation groove near the receiving cavity. The flexible battery is electrically connected to the first electrical contact.

[0007] Two elastic bodies are respectively disposed at both ends of the body and cooperate with the body to form a C-shaped structure;

[0008] A detection unit is disposed within the mounting slot and detachably connected to the mounting slot. The detection unit includes a housing detachably connected to the mounting slot and a microcontroller, a Bluetooth module, and a heart rate detector disposed within the housing. The microcontroller is electrically connected to the Bluetooth module and the heart rate detector. An opening for mounting the detection end of the heart rate detector is provided on the inner side of the housing. A second electrical contact is provided on the housing corresponding to the position of the first electrical contact. The first electrical contact and the second electrical contact are electrically connected. The microcontroller, the Bluetooth module, and the heart rate detector are electrically connected to the second electrical contact.

[0009] Furthermore, limit blocks are provided at both ends of the mounting groove, and the outer shell is provided with a slot that engages with the limit blocks.

[0010] Furthermore, the limiting block is provided with a groove, and an elastic limiting member is provided in the groove; the outer shell is provided with a hemispherical groove corresponding to the position of the elastic limiting member.

[0011] The elastic limiting member includes a first elastic member, a spherical body, and a limiting ring. The first elastic member and the spherical body are disposed in the groove, with one end of the first elastic member abutting against the bottom of the groove and the other end abutting against the spherical body, so as to provide elastic force to the spherical body away from the groove. The limiting ring is disposed at the opening of the groove, and the inner diameter of the limiting ring is smaller than the outer diameter of the spherical body. The limiting ring is adapted to restrict the movement of the spherical body when it moves away from the groove, and to allow a portion of the spherical body to extend out of the groove and embed into the hemispherical groove.

[0012] Furthermore, the surface of the main body is provided with a mounting hole communicating with the mounting groove. A pressure rod is provided in the mounting hole. One end of the pressure rod extends out of the mounting hole and is equipped with a button. The other end of the pressure rod extends into the mounting groove and forms an inclined surface. A gap is formed between the outer shell and the bottom wall of the mounting groove. The pressure rod is adapted to move toward the gap under the action of external force. The inclined surface is adapted to be embedded in the gap under the drive of the pressure rod, so that the outer shell is disengaged from the mounting groove.

[0013] Furthermore, a second elastic element is provided inside the mounting hole, and an abutment plate is provided on the outer side of the portion of the pressure rod placed inside the mounting hole. One end of the second elastic element abuts against the abutment plate, and the other end abuts against the inner wall of the mounting hole.

[0014] Furthermore, there are two mounting slots evenly distributed along the radial direction of the body, and the receiving cavity is disposed between the two mounting slots.

[0015] Furthermore, a flexible pad is provided on the outer side of the opening, and the surface of the flexible pad is formed into an arc shape that fits against the finger.

[0016] Furthermore, slots are provided at both ends of the main body, and an insert plate is provided on the elastic body corresponding to the slot position, and the insert plate is inserted into the slot.

[0017] Beneficial effects:

[0018] This invention features an installation slot on the inner side of the main body to facilitate the replacement and installation of the detection unit. Users can install detection units with different functions according to their needs. The elastic body can deform when worn, thus better conforming to the user's finger, improving wearing comfort, and enhancing the ring's adaptability. To better accommodate the user's finger and improve detection accuracy and wearing comfort, the flexible battery is placed separately in the receiving cavity instead of being concentrated on the detection unit. This reduces the size of the detection unit. Compared to miniaturizing and integrating the flexible battery into the detection unit to fully utilize its space, the separate flexible battery effectively extends the usage time of the detection unit.

[0035] like Figure 1-10 As shown, a multifunctional ring includes:

[0036] The main body 10 is arc-shaped. An installation groove 101 is provided on the inner side of the main body 10. A receiving cavity 102 is provided inside the main body 10. A flexible storage battery 103 is installed in the receiving cavity 102. A first electrical contact 104 is installed on the side of the installation groove 101 near the receiving cavity 102. The flexible storage battery 103 is electrically connected to the first electrical contact 104.

[0037] Two elastic bodies 20 are respectively disposed at both ends of the body 10 and cooperate with the body 10 to form a C-shaped structure;

[0038] A detection unit 30 is disposed within the mounting slot 101 and detachably connected to the mounting slot 101. The detection unit 30 includes a housing 301 detachably connected to the mounting slot 101, and a microcontroller 302, a Bluetooth module 303, and a heart rate detector 304 disposed within the housing 301. The microcontroller 302 is electrically connected to the Bluetooth module 303 and the heart rate detector 304. An opening is provided on the inner side of the housing 301 for mounting the detection end of the heart rate detector 304. A second electrical contact is provided on the housing 301 corresponding to the position of the first electrical contact 104. The first electrical contact 104 is electrically connected to the second electrical contact. The microcontroller 302, the Bluetooth module 303, and the heart rate detector 304 are electrically connected to the second electrical contact.

[0039] This invention provides an installation groove 101 inside the main body 10 to facilitate the replacement and installation of the detection unit 30. Users can install detection units 30 with different functions according to their needs. The elastic body 20 can deform when worn, thereby better conforming to the user's finger, improving wearing comfort, and enhancing the ring's adaptability. To allow the detection end of the heart rate detector 304 to better fit the user's finger, thereby improving detection accuracy and wearing comfort, this invention places the flexible battery 103 separately in the receiving cavity 102, rather than concentrating it on the detection unit 30. This reduces the size of the detection unit 30. Compared to miniaturizing and integrating the flexible battery 103 into the detection unit 30 to fully utilize its space, the additional flexible battery 103 effectively extends the usage time of the detection unit 30.

[0040] Preferably, in order to enable the detection unit 30 to be detachably connected to the mounting groove 101, in this embodiment, limit blocks 1011 are provided at both ends of the mounting groove 101, and the outer shell 301 is provided with a slot 3011 that engages with the limit blocks 1011.

[0041] During installation, first insert the slot 3011 at one end of the detection unit 30 into the limiting block 1011 inside the limiting block 1011, and then press the detection unit 30 into the mounting slot 101 so that the slot 3011 at the other end of the detection unit 30 can be inserted into the limiting block 1011 to complete the installation of the detection unit 30. During disassembly, the detection unit 30 can be directly removed from the mounting slot 101.

[0042] Of course, to facilitate the user to remove and replace the detection unit 30, in this embodiment, a mounting hole 3012 communicating with the mounting groove 101 is provided on the surface of the main body 10. A pressure rod 3013 is provided in the mounting hole 3012. One end of the pressure rod 3013 extends out of the mounting hole 3012 and is equipped with a button. The other end of the pressure rod 3013 extends into the mounting groove 101 and forms an inclined surface. A gap is formed between the outer shell 301 and the bottom wall of the mounting groove 101. The pressure rod 3013 is adapted to move toward the gap under the action of external force. The inclined surface is adapted to be embedded in the gap under the drive of the pressure rod 3013, so that the outer shell 301 is disengaged from the mounting groove 101.

[0043] When it is necessary to remove the detection unit 30, the user can directly press the button to drive the pressure rod 3013 to move towards the gap. The inclined surface of the pressure rod 3013 at one end placed in the mounting groove 101 will be embedded in the gap and driven by the inclined surface to move towards the outside of the mounting groove 101, so that the detection unit 30 is partially exposed in the mounting groove 101. At this time, the user can directly pinch the exposed part of the detection unit 30 to pull out the detection unit 30. When installing the detection unit 30, the outer shell 301 of the detection unit 30 will contact the inclined surface of the pressure rod 3013, and the inclined surface will drive the pressure rod 3013 to move away from the gap, so that the pressure rod 3013 is reset.

[0044] Of course, to facilitate the reset of the pressure rod 3013, in this embodiment, a second elastic element 3014 is also provided in the mounting hole 3012. An abutment plate is provided on the outer side of the portion of the pressure rod 3013 located inside the mounting hole 3012. One end of the second elastic element 3014 abuts against the abutment plate, and the other end abuts against the inner wall of the mounting hole 3012, so that the second elastic element 3014 can provide a reset elastic force for the pressure rod 3013.

[0045] In addition, in order to improve the stability of the connection between the detection unit 30 and the mounting groove 101, in this embodiment, the limiting block 1011 is provided with a groove 1012, the groove 1012 is provided with an elastic limiting member 105, and the outer shell 301 is provided with a hemispherical groove corresponding to the position of the elastic limiting member 105.

[0046] The elastic limiting member 105 includes a first elastic member 1051, a spherical body 1052, and a limiting ring 1053. The first elastic member 1051 and the spherical body 1052 are disposed in the groove 1012, with one end of the first elastic member 1051 abutting against the bottom of the groove 1012 and the other end abutting against the spherical body 1052, so as to provide elastic force to the spherical body 1052 away from the groove 1012. The limiting ring 1053 is disposed at the opening of the groove 1012, and the inner diameter of the limiting ring 1053 is smaller than the outer diameter of the spherical body 1052. The limiting ring 1053 is adapted to restrict the movement of the spherical body 1052 when it moves away from the groove 1012, and to allow a portion of the spherical body 1052 to extend out of the groove 1012 and embed into the hemispherical groove.

[0047] When the detection unit 30 is installed, the bottom of the slot 3011 will contact the part of the spherical body 1052 protruding from the limiting ring 1053 and press it into the groove 1012 until the detection unit 30 is installed in place. At this time, the hemispherical groove at the bottom of the slot 3011 will correspond to the position of the groove 1012. At this time, the spherical body 1052 will be embedded in the hemispherical groove under the action of the elastic force of the first elastic element 1051 to complete the locking of the detection unit 30. When the detection unit 30 is disassembled, under the drive of the pressure rod 3013, one end of the detection unit 30 moves towards the outside of the mounting groove 101. At this time, the arc surface of the hemispherical groove will squeeze the spherical body 1052 to press the spherical body 1052 into the groove 1012, thereby releasing the locking of the detection unit 30.

[0048] To enhance the functionality of the ring, an additional mounting slot 101 is provided on the ring in this embodiment to facilitate the installation of additional functional components, such as an NFC unit integrating an NFC module and a Bluetooth module 303, to replace a bus card, bank card, or an additional flexible battery module 103, thereby extending the ring's usage time. The two mounting slots 101 are evenly arranged along the radial direction of the body 10, and the receiving cavity 102 is disposed between the two mounting slots 101.

[0049] In addition, to improve wearing comfort, a flexible pad 305 is provided on the outside of the opening in this embodiment. The surface of the flexible pad 305 is formed with an arc-shaped surface that fits the finger. The arc-shaped surface can fit the user's finger to limit the rotation of the ring and improve the accuracy of the heart rate detector 304.

[0050] Meanwhile, to avoid excessive elasticity on the finger when the elastomer 20 deforms, which would affect wearing comfort, slots 106 are provided at both ends of the body 10 in this embodiment. The elastomer 20 is provided with a plate 201 corresponding to the position of the slot 106. The plate 201 is inserted into the slot 106 so that the user can select elastomers 20 with different elasticity according to the needs of use, thereby improving wearing comfort while ensuring that the elastomer 20 can fix the ring on the finger.

[0051] The above description, in conjunction with specific embodiments, provides a further detailed explanation of the present utility model. It should not be construed that the specific implementation of the present utility model is limited to these descriptions. For those skilled in the art, several simple deductions or substitutions can be made without departing from the concept of the present utility model, and all such deductions or substitutions should be considered to fall within the scope of protection defined by the claims submitted by the present utility model.
