[0008] In one embodiment, the rotating assembly includes a coil and a permanent magnet disposed in the mounting groove. The coil is wound around the outside of the rotating shaft, and the permanent magnet is disposed in the mounting groove and close to the coil. The coil is used to cooperate with the permanent magnet when energized to drive the corresponding rotating shaft to rotate around its axis.
[0009] In one embodiment, the rotating end is provided with a power socket that is electrically connected to the lighting lamp, and a wire is provided in the mounting groove corresponding to the power socket. The coil and the display panel are both electrically connected to the wire, and the power socket is electrically connected to the wire when the sealing plate rotates to the second position.
[0010] In one embodiment, there are multiple lighting mechanisms, which are evenly spaced around the display panel, and the number of grooves is the same as the number of sealing plates and they are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence.
[0011] In one embodiment, the mounting groove is an annular mounting groove, which surrounds the display panel, and the plurality of rotating components are disposed within the annular mounting groove.
[0012] In one embodiment, a sealing ring is further provided in the annular mounting groove to seal the annular mounting groove.
[0013] In one embodiment, a shielding ring is further provided in the annular mounting groove, and the shielding ring is disposed on the groove sidewall of the annular mounting groove away from the groove.
[0014] This invention relates to a smartwatch with a groove and a mounting slot on the display side near the display panel. A sealing plate is placed in the groove, and a rotating component is placed in the mounting slot. An illumination lamp is positioned on the side of the lamp plate facing the watch face.

[0022] Some smartwatches now integrate small lights, functioning as mini flashlights, which is very practical in daily life. For example, they can be used to find keyholes at night, check items inside bags, provide temporary lighting in dark corridors or stairwells, offer basic light in emergencies (such as earthquakes or elevator malfunctions), and serve as supplementary lighting during outdoor activities (camping, hiking). However, the lights on current smartwatches are directly exposed on the watch face, lacking any concealment feature. Furthermore, prolonged exposure affects the lifespan of the light, and it is easily scratched and damaged, resulting in poor reliability.
[0023] This utility model proposes a smartwatch 100.
[0024] Please see Figures 1 to 3In one embodiment of this utility model, the smartwatch 100 includes a dial 1 and an illumination mechanism 2. Both ends of the dial 1 are connected to watch straps 12. One side of the dial 1 is a display side 11, which has a display panel 111. A groove 112 and a mounting groove 113 are provided on the display side 11 near the display panel 111. The illumination mechanism 2 is located on the display side 11 and near the display panel 111. The illumination mechanism 2 includes a sealing plate 21 and a rotating assembly 22. An illumination lamp 23 is provided on the side of the sealing plate 21 facing the dial 1. 23 is electrically connected to the display panel 111. The sealing plate 21 is set in the groove 112. The two opposite ends of the sealing plate 21 are the free end 211 and the rotating end 212, respectively. The mounting groove 113 is set close to the rotating end 212. The rotating component 22 is set in the mounting groove 113 and is connected to the rotating end 212. The rotating component 22 is used to drive the free end 211 of the sealing plate 21 to rotate around the rotating end 212, so that the sealing plate 21 rotates between the first position and the second position, so as to drive the lighting lamp 23 to rotate into the groove 112 or out of the groove 112.
[0025] The smartwatch 100 of this invention features a groove 112 and a mounting slot 113 on the display side 11 near the display panel 111. A sealing plate 21 is disposed in the groove 112, and a rotating assembly 22 is disposed in the mounting slot 113. An illumination lamp 23 is positioned on the side of the lamp plate facing the watch face 1. When the rotating assembly 22 drives the free end 211 of the sealing plate 21 to rotate around the rotating end 212, the sealing plate 21 rotates between a first position and a second position. When the illumination lamp 23 is needed, the rotating assembly 22 drives the sealing plate 21 to rotate. The plate 21 is rotated from the first position to the second position, so that the sealing plate 21 and the lighting lamp 23 on it are rotated out of the groove 112. At this time, the lighting lamp 23 is exposed for auxiliary lighting. After the lighting lamp 23 is used, the sealing plate 21 is rotated from the second position to the first position by rotating component 22, so that the sealing plate 21 and the lighting lamp 23 on it are stored in the groove 112. At this time, the sealing plate 21 completely covers and hides the lighting lamp 23, preventing the lighting lamp 23 from being exposed, thereby avoiding wear caused by long-term exposure of the lighting lamp 23 and improving reliability.
[0026] Furthermore, by providing a recess 112 for accommodating the lighting lamp 23 and the cover plate 21, the obtrusiveness of the cover plate 21 is reduced, making the smartwatch 100 look cleaner and more aesthetically pleasing.
[0027] It should be noted that the display panel 111 is the panel on the smartwatch 100 that displays the time and enables smart operation, and will not be described in detail here.
[0028] In one embodiment, the end of the sealing plate 21 facing the display panel 111 is the free end 211, and the end of the sealing plate 21 away from the free end 211 is the rotating end 212. Two rotating shafts 213 are respectively provided on opposite sides of the rotating end 212. The two rotating shafts 213 are rotatably connected to opposite side walls of the groove 112, and the ends of the two rotating shafts 213 away from the sealing plate 21 extend into the mounting groove 113. The rotating assembly 22 is connected to one of the rotating shafts 213. The rotating assembly 22 is used to drive the corresponding rotating shaft 213 to rotate around its axis, so as to drive the free end 211 of the sealing plate 21 to rotate around the rotating end 212.
[0029] Understandably, by setting two rotating shafts 213 on opposite sides of the rotating end 212, and connecting the two rotating shafts 213 to the opposite side walls of the groove 112, the force is evenly distributed on the two rotating shafts 213 when the free end 211 rotates around the rotating end 212, making the rotation smoother and more stable. Furthermore, the end of the rotating shaft 213 away from the sealing plate 21 extends into the mounting groove 113, and the drive component is set in the mounting groove 113 and connected to one of the rotating shafts 213. The rotating component 22 and the sealing plate 21 are respectively installed in the mounting groove 113 and the groove 112, and the two do not interfere with each other in terms of structural space. When the sealing plate 21 is stored in the groove 112, it can fit the side wall of the groove 112, which can prevent dust and other impurities from entering the groove 112. Moreover, the rotating component 22 is not exposed, resulting in better reliability.
[0030] In one embodiment, the cover plate 21 is flush with the display side 11 in the first position; the cover plate 21 is perpendicular to the display side 11 in the second position.
[0031] Understandably, when the cover plate 21 is in the first position, the lamp 23 is fully rotated into the groove 112 and flush with the surface of the watch display side 11, making the display side 11 of the dial 1 a smooth surface, which is more beautiful and less likely to be rubbed or scratched by any external objects, resulting in a better user experience. When the cover plate 21 is in the second position, the lamp 23 is rotated out and is perpendicular to the display side 11, so that the light emission direction of the lamp 23 is parallel to the direction of the arm when wearing the watch, making it convenient for the user to adjust the light direction by waving their arm, resulting in a better user experience.
[0032] In one embodiment, the rotating assembly 22 further includes two limiting plates 223 disposed in the mounting groove 113, and the two limiting plates 223 are respectively disposed corresponding to two rotating shafts 213. The end of each rotating shaft 213 away from the sealing plate 21 is rotatably connected to the corresponding limiting plate 223. When the rotating shaft 213 rotates around its axis to drive the sealing plate 21 to rotate to the second position, it stops rotating by abutting against the corresponding limiting plate 223.
[0033] Understandably, by setting the limiting plate 223, when the sealing plate 21 rotates from the first position to the second position, the limiting plate 223 and the rotating shaft 213 are limited and abutted, thereby stopping the rotating shaft 213 from rotating, so as to ensure that the sealing plate 21 can accurately stop at the second position each time, preventing the sealing plate 21 from rotating excessively, and improving reliability.
[0034] In one specific embodiment, a protrusion may be provided on the outer periphery of the rotating shaft 213, and a stop block is provided on the side of the limiting plate 223 facing the rotating shaft 213. When the rotating shaft 213 rotates, the protrusion also rotates around the axis of the rotating shaft 213. When the sealing plate 21 rotates to the second position, the protrusion just abuts against the stop block, thereby restricting the rotation of the rotating shaft 213.
[0035] In one embodiment, the rotating assembly 22 includes a coil 221 and a permanent magnet 222 disposed in the mounting groove 113. The coil 221 is wound around the outside of the rotating shaft 213, and the permanent magnet 222 is disposed in the mounting groove 113 and close to the coil 221. The coil 221 is used to cooperate with the permanent magnet 222 when energized to drive the corresponding rotating shaft 213 to rotate around its axis.
[0036] Understandably, the rotating component 22 includes a coil 221 and a permanent magnet 222. When the coil 221 is energized, a magnetic field is generated around the coil 221 based on the principle of electromagnetic induction. The magnetic field interacts with the magnetic field of the permanent magnet 222, thereby driving the coil 221 and the rotating shaft 213 to rotate. By controlling the direction of the current in the coil 221, the rotation direction of the rotating shaft 213 can be controlled. Moreover, there is no need to use a micro motor or motor, which makes it lighter and provides a better wearing experience for users.
[0037] In one specific embodiment, the permanent magnet 222 is a neodymium magnet and maintains a 0.5mm gap with the coil 221.
[0038] In one embodiment, the rotating end 212 is provided with a power socket 24 that is electrically connected to the lighting lamp 23. A wire 13 is provided in the mounting groove 113 corresponding to the power socket 24. The coil 221 and the display panel 111 are both electrically connected to the wire 13. The power socket 24 is electrically connected to the wire 13 when the sealing plate 21 is rotated to the second position.
[0039] By setting up a power connector 24, which is electrically connected to the wire 13 only when the cover plate 21 is rotated to the second position, the light lamp 23 is powered on for illumination. When the cover plate 21 is rotated to the first position, that is, when it is stored in the groove 112, the power connector 24 is automatically disconnected from the wire 13, preventing the light lamp 23 from continuously consuming power when not in use and extending the battery life of the smartwatch 100. Specifically, the wire 13 is a flexible FPC circuit.
[0040] In one embodiment, there are multiple lighting mechanisms 2, which are evenly spaced around the display panel 111. The number of recesses 112 and the number of sealing plates 21 are the same and they correspond one-to-one. It is understood that by setting multiple lighting mechanisms 2, when multiple lamps 23 illuminate simultaneously from different directions, the light superimposed on each other results in a better lighting effect. In actual use, the user can operate through the display panel 111 to select whether a single lamp 23 is exposed for illumination or multiple lamps 23 are exposed simultaneously, thus improving the user experience.
[0041] In one embodiment, the mounting groove 113 is an annular mounting groove 113, which surrounds the display panel 111, and multiple rotating components 22 are disposed within the annular mounting groove 113. Understandably, by disposing of multiple rotating components 22 within the annular mounting groove 113, the annular mounting groove 113 not only ensures the aesthetic appearance of the smartwatch 100 but is also easier to manufacture and process compared to multiple independent mounting grooves 113.
[0042] In one embodiment, a sealing ring 14 is also provided within the annular mounting groove 113 to seal the annular mounting groove 113. Understandably, by sealing the annular mounting groove with the sealing ring 14, contaminants such as sweat, rainwater, dust, and sand are effectively prevented from entering the annular mounting groove 113, ensuring the safe and reliable operation of the electronic components inside the dial 1. Specifically, the sealing ring 14 can be an elastic silicone ring.
[0043] In one embodiment, a shielding ring 15 is further provided within the annular mounting groove 113, and the shielding ring 15 is disposed on the side wall of the annular mounting groove 113 away from the groove 112. Understandably, by providing the shielding ring 15, the shielding ring 15 can block the external radiation of the electronic components inside the dial 1, and also block electromagnetic interference from outside the watch, ensuring the stable operation of the electronic components inside the dial 1. Specifically, the shielding ring 15 can be made of a copper-nickel alloy.
[0044] The above description is merely an exemplary embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the scope of protection of the present utility model. Any equivalent structural transformations made under the technical concept of the present utility model using the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
