Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] With the deep integration of mobile internet technology and wearable devices, modern smartwatches have broken through the limitations of traditional timekeeping functions and integrated a variety of services, including communication reminders, information interaction, health status monitoring, and sports assistance, with increasingly rich functions.

[0003] However, current mainstream human-computer interaction methods for smartwatches still heavily rely on touchscreen operation or a limited number of physical buttons. In scenarios with small screen sizes and where user fingers easily obscure the displayed content, touch operation suffers from a significant high rate of accidental touches and poor accuracy. This is especially true when browsing long lists of content such as message history and activity data, where users need to frequently swipe the screen. This process is not only cumbersome but also makes precise scrolling and target positioning difficult due to the limited screen space, severely impacting user experience and operational efficiency. Therefore, this paper researches and improves upon existing structures and shortcomings, providing a smartwatch with a side scroll wheel control structure to achieve greater practical value. Utility Model Content

The top side of the limit cover is provided with a limit circular groove, and the bottom end of the roller is provided with a limit ring that is rotatably connected to the limit circular groove.

[0009] Furthermore, the lower casing contains a control motherboard, an FPC board, and a battery. The FPC board has multiple connection terminals, six of which are electrically connected to control button one, control button two, the encoder, the battery, the control motherboard, and the touch screen, respectively.

[0010] Furthermore, a horn and a vibration motor are fixedly installed inside the lower shell, and the horn and vibration motor are electrically connected to the control main board through an FPC board.

[0025] Example:

[0026] As attached Figure 1 To be continued Figure 5 As shown:

[0027] This utility model provides a smartwatch with a side scroll wheel control structure, including a lower shell 2 and a bezel 1. The bezel 1 is fixedly installed on the top of the lower shell 2, and a touch screen 3 is fixedly installed between the two. Control buttons 13 and 14 are respectively installed on the left and right sides of the lower shell 2. A mounting groove 201 is provided on the right side of the lower shell 2, and a scroll wheel 9 is rotatably installed inside the mounting groove 201. A connecting shaft is provided at the center of the scroll wheel 9, and the top end of the connecting shaft passes through the bottom of the mounting groove 201 and extends into the interior of the lower shell 2. An encoder 8 is fixedly installed inside the lower shell 2 near the top end of the connecting shaft. The encoder 8 is connected to the connecting shaft and is used to detect the rotation angle of the scroll wheel 9. When the user rotates the scroll wheel 9, its rotation angle is accurately detected by the encoder 8 and converted into an electrical signal, realizing linear, quantifiable, and precise scrolling speed and position control of the screen content, significantly improving browsing efficiency and operation accuracy, and avoiding the obstruction of the screen by finger touch.

[0028] The mounting groove 201 has an opening facing downwards, and an operating port is provided on the side for the roller 9 to be partially exposed. The operating port on the side ensures that the key operating area of ​​the roller 9 is exposed, making it easy for the user's fingers (especially the thumb) to contact and operate. The outer circumferential surface of the roller 9 is provided with anti-slip texture to enhance the friction during user operation, prevent slippage, and improve the feel and reliability of operation.

[0029] The mounting groove 201 has a limiting seat 202 at its bottom, and the limiting seat 202 has a through hole at its center for the connecting shaft to pass through. The limiting seat 202 is cylindrical and rotatably connected to the inner wall of the roller 9, providing stable and reliable radial support for the roller 9, effectively limiting the radial sway of the roller 9 during rotation, and ensuring smooth rotation and accurate sensing. A sealing ring is installed between the root of the limiting seat 202 and the inner side of the roller 9 to improve the overall dustproof and waterproof effect, and ensure the sealing performance of the roller assembly under harsh environments (such as sweat and rain) and its long-term reliability.

[0030] Among them, a limiting cover 10 is installed on the bottom side of the lower shell 2 near the opening of the mounting groove 201 by fastening screws. The limiting cover 10 is fixed by fastening screws, which facilitates the installation and maintenance of the roller assembly. The top side of the limiting cover 10 is provided with a limiting circular groove, and the bottom end of the roller 9 is provided with a limiting ring that is rotatably connected to the limiting circular groove, which provides precise axial positioning and support for the roller 9 and effectively prevents the roller 9 from moving or falling off in the axial direction.

[0031] The lower shell 2 contains a control motherboard 4, an FPC board 7, and a battery 5. The FPC board 7 has multiple connection terminals, six of which are electrically connected to control button 13, control button 2 14, encoder 8, battery 5, control motherboard 4, and touch screen 3, respectively.

[0032] The lower shell 2 also houses a speaker 11 and a vibration motor 12, which are electrically connected to the control motherboard 4 via an FPC board 7. The speaker 11 and vibration motor 12 are connected to the system via the FPC board 7, allowing scroll wheel operation or other interactions to trigger multimodal feedback. This combination of tactile (vibration) and auditory (sound) feedback with precise scroll wheel operation significantly enhances the user's perception and interaction confirmation, improving the overall immersiveness and intuitiveness of the user experience.

[0033] The lower casing 2 has a light panel 6 fixedly installed on one side inside. One side of the light panel 6 is electrically connected to the connection end of the FPC board 7. LED beads are installed on the other side of the light panel 6. The lower casing 2 has a mounting hole near the mounting position of the light panel 6. A lens 15 is fixedly installed inside the mounting hole. The LED beads are located inside the lens 15 to cover and protect the internal LED beads, while optimizing the diffusion and transmission effect of light, so as to provide lighting function in low light conditions and enhance the practicality of the watch in outdoor sports scenarios.

[0034] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: When the user rotates the scroll wheel 9 on the side of the watch, its rotation angle and speed are transmitted to the internal encoder 8 through the central connecting shaft. The encoder 8 accurately detects the rotation angle, direction and speed and converts them into electrical signals. The signals are transmitted to the control motherboard 4 via the FPC board 7. The control motherboard 4 analyzes the signals and generates instructions to drive the touch screen 3 to achieve precise scrolling control of the content. At the same time, the motherboard 4 can coordinate with the vibration motor 12 to provide tactile feedback and the speaker 11 to provide sound feedback.

[0035] 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.
