Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of smart device technology, and more particularly to a rotating component and a smart device. Background Technology

[0002] With the popularization and development of smart devices, in order to increase the recognizability and aesthetic appeal of smart devices, characteristic parts such as ears and tails are often added to the shell of smart devices, such as rabbit ears on robots and tails on bionic toys.

[0003] However, the key components of smart devices are usually fixed to the device's outer casing. When these key components are subjected to collisions, pulling, or drops, the external force can be directly transmitted to the outer casing or the fixing screw connection, leading to defects such as loose connections, cracked casing, or broken key components.

[0009] In one embodiment, the frame includes a shaft, a surrounding wall disposed around the shaft, and a connecting portion disposed between the shaft and the surrounding wall, wherein the fixing portion is disposed on the side of the surrounding wall opposite to the shaft; wherein the rotating member is sleeved on the surrounding wall and is capable of rotating around the surrounding wall; and / or, the rotating member is rotatably connected to the shaft.

[0010] In one embodiment, the rotating assembly further includes a shaft that passes through the frame of the connecting bracket, and the rotating component is connected to the shaft.

[0011] In one embodiment, one end of the elastic element is connected to the rotating element and the other end is connected to the frame of the connecting bracket; or, one end of the elastic element is connected to the rotating element and the other end is connected to the shaft of the rotating assembly.

[0012] In one embodiment, the rotating component includes a first housing and a second housing, which are respectively sleeved on opposite sides of the frame of the connecting bracket, and the first housing and the second housing together form a rotating component with a receiving cavity, and the frame is disposed in the receiving cavity.

[0013] In one embodiment, one end of the elastic element is connected to the shaft of the rotating assembly, and the other end is connected to the rotating element.

[0014] In one embodiment, the first housing has a first notch on the side near the second housing, and the fixing part of the connecting bracket passes through the first notch; and / or, the second housing has a second notch on the side near the first housing, and the fixing part of the connecting bracket passes through the second notch, so as to limit the rotation angle of the rotating member.

[0015] In one embodiment, the rotating member has an extension on the side opposite to the support seat, the extension being used to assemble the feature of the smart device.

[0016] In one embodiment, the extension includes a first extension and a second extension that abut against each other. The first extension is disposed on the first housing of the rotating member, and the second extension is disposed on the second housing of the rotating member. The rotating assembly further includes a connector, and the first extension and the second extension are fixedly connected by the connector.

[0017] Another aspect of this application embodiment provides an intelligent device, which includes a feature, a rotating assembly, and a device body. The support of the rotating assembly is mounted on the device body, and the feature is detachably connected to the rotating component of the rotating assembly; wherein, the rotating assembly is the rotating assembly described in the foregoing embodiment.

[0018] In one embodiment, the extension of the rotating member is provided with a first magnetic element, and the feature member is provided with a second magnetic element. The first magnetic element and the second magnetic element cooperate to connect the feature member and the extension.

[0019] In one embodiment, when the feature and the extension are connected by adsorption via the first magnetic element and the second magnetic element, there is a magnetic attraction between the first magnetic element and the second magnetic element; wherein, when the feature is subjected to an external force and the external force exceeds the magnetic attraction, the feature separates from the extension; when the feature is subjected to an external force and the external force does not exceed the magnetic attraction, the feature rotates relative to the device body.

[0020] In one embodiment, one of the feature and the extension has a groove, and the end of the other is embedded in the groove.

[0022] In one embodiment, the rotation direction of the rotating member is towards the front or rear of the smart device, and the front or rear of the smart device is the direction in which the smart device moves forward or backward.

[0023] The rotating assembly and smart device provided in this application embodiment are rotatably connected to the connecting bracket via a rotating component. This allows the feature mounted on the rotating component to rotate when subjected to external impact, thereby avoiding defects such as loosening at the connection, cracking of the housing, or breakage of the feature. Furthermore, by providing an elastic element between the rotating component and the connecting bracket, it can buffer the rotating component / feature when subjected to external impact, and can also reset the rotating component / feature when the external force is removed.

[0024] The rotating component and smart device provided in this application embodiment, when the feature is pushed or pulled by an external force, cause the feature to rotate relative to the support and the device body. This rotation causes the elastic component to deform and store elastic potential energy, thereby buffering the external force. After the external force is released, the elastic component releases its elastic potential energy, driving the rotating component and the feature to return to their initial angle. Specifically, when the feature is impacted by an external force, the feature can rotate relative to the device body, reducing the degree to which the impact is directly transmitted to the outer casing, thus reducing the risk of damage to the outer casing, rotating component, or feature.

[0028] The present application will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be particularly noted that the following embodiments are for illustrative purposes only and do not limit the scope of the application. Similarly, the following embodiments are only some, not all, embodiments of the present application, and all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0029] In this application, the reference to "embodiment" means that a specific feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with an embodiment may be included in at least one embodiment of this application. The appearance of this phrase in various places throughout the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a separate or alternative embodiment mutually exclusive with other embodiments. It will be explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.

[0030] It should be noted that all directional indications (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.) in the embodiments of this application are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of the components in a specific posture (as shown in the attached figure). If the specific posture changes, the directional indication will also change accordingly. Furthermore, the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion. For example, a process, method, system, product, or device that includes a series of steps or units is not limited to the listed steps or units, but may optionally include steps or units not listed, or may optionally include other steps or units inherent to these processes, methods, products, or devices. It is understood that the terms "first," "second," and "third" in the embodiments of this application are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Therefore, a feature defined with "first," "second," or "third" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature.

[0031] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 1This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the rotating component 100 in some embodiments of this application. Figure 2 yes Figure 1 A structural breakdown diagram of the rotating component 100 in the embodiment.

[0032] The rotating assembly 100 may include a support base 10, a rotating member 20, a connecting bracket 30, and an elastic member 40. The support base 10 is configured to assemble the rotating assembly 100 onto the device body of the smart device, and the rotating member 20 is used to assemble the feature of the smart device. The rotating member 20 is rotatable relative to the support base 10. With this configuration, when the feature of the smart device is subjected to collision, pulling, or drop impact, the rotating member 20 causes the feature to rotate relative to the device body, thereby avoiding damage.

[0033] The connecting bracket 30 is fixedly mounted on one side of the support base 10. The connecting bracket 30 and the support base 10 are fixedly connected, and the connection can be achieved through screwing, snap-fitting, welding, or bonding. The connecting bracket 30 is located on one axial side of the support base 10, and the other side of the support base 10 is used to connect with the device body of the smart device. The rotating component 20 and the connecting bracket 30 are located on the same side of the support base 10, that is, the rotating component 20 is located on one axial side of the support base 10. The rotating component 20 is rotatably connected to the connecting bracket 30. This rotating component 20 is used to assemble the feature components of the smart device; that is, the feature components of the smart device can rotate relative to the device body of the smart device via the rotating component 20. When the feature components of the smart device are subjected to external impact, the feature components drive the rotating component 20 to rotate relative to the device body, thereby providing a buffering effect and preventing defects such as loosening, cracking, or breakage of the feature components.

[0034] Furthermore, the elastic element 40 is disposed between the rotating member 20 and the connecting bracket 30. When the elastic element 40 deforms, it generates a spring force, which can act as a restoring force to cause the rotating member 20 to return to its original position. That is, when the rotating member 20 rotates relative to the connecting bracket 30 under the action of an external force, the elastic element 40 deforms and generates a restoring force; when the external force is removed, the rotating member 20 returns to its original position under the action of the restoring force. Optionally, one end of the elastic element 40 is connected to the rotating member 20 and the other end is connected to the connecting bracket 30. When the rotating member 20 rotates relative to the connecting bracket 30, the elastic element 40 is stretched or compressed to deform and generate a spring force.

[0035] Optionally, the rotating member 20 can be sleeved on the connecting bracket 30 and can rotate around the connecting bracket 30. Optionally, the rotating member 20 can be rotatably connected to the connecting bracket 30 via a shaft.

[0036] For example, the connecting bracket 30 may have a spherical crown, the curved surface of which is located on the side of the connecting bracket 30 opposite to the support seat 10. The rotating member 20 may be fitted onto the spherical crown of the connecting bracket 30 and be able to rotate around the spherical crown. Optionally, the height direction of the spherical crown of the connecting bracket 30 may be parallel to the axial direction of the support seat 10, and the plane containing the rotation direction of the rotating member 20 around the spherical crown may be perpendicular to the axial direction of the support seat 10. Alternatively, the height direction of the spherical crown may be perpendicular to the axial direction of the support seat 10, and the plane containing the rotation direction of the rotating member 20 around the spherical crown may be parallel to the axial direction of the support seat 10.

[0037] For example, a rotating shaft can be provided on the connecting bracket 30, and the rotating member 20 is connected to the rotating shaft and can rotate relative to the connecting bracket 30 via the rotating shaft. Optionally, the axial direction of the rotating shaft can be parallel to the axial direction of the bearing seat 10, and the plane containing the rotation direction of the rotating member 20 can be perpendicular to the axial direction of the bearing seat 10.

[0038] It is understood that the above embodiments only exemplify whether the rotation of the rotating member 20 is parallel or perpendicular to the axial direction of the support seat 10, but are not limited thereto. For example, when the spherical crown or the rotating shaft is tilted relative to the support seat 10, the rotation direction of the rotating member 20 will change accordingly.

[0039] The rotating assembly provided in this application embodiment is rotatably connected to the connecting bracket via a rotating component. This allows the feature of the smart device mounted on the rotating component to rotate when subjected to external impact, thereby avoiding defects such as loosening at the connection, cracking of the housing, or breakage of the feature. Furthermore, by providing an elastic element between the rotating component and the connecting bracket, it can buffer the rotating component / feature when subjected to external impact, and can also reset the rotating component / feature when the external force is removed.

[0040] In some embodiments, the support 10 surrounds the side of the connecting bracket 30 to form a receiving groove 101, and the connecting bracket 30 is at least partially disposed in the receiving groove 101. That is, by disposing at least part of the connecting bracket 30 in the receiving groove 101, a covering structure is formed in which the support 10 covers at least part of the connecting bracket 30, which can create conditions for reducing the overall volume of the rotating assembly 100.

[0041] It is understandable that the orientation of the receiving groove 101 of the bearing seat 10 is axial. Optionally, the connecting bracket 30 and the rotating member 20 can be sequentially arranged and rotatably connected in the axial direction of the bearing seat 10; for example, the rotating member 20 can be sleeved on the side of the connecting bracket 30 away from the bearing seat 10 and rotatably connected to the connecting bracket 30; or, for example, the end of the connecting bracket 30 away from the bearing seat 10 is provided with a shaft, and the rotating member 20 is rotatably connected to the connecting bracket 30 through the shaft. Optionally, the connecting bracket 30 and the rotating member 20 can be sequentially arranged and rotatably connected in the axial direction perpendicular to the bearing seat 10; for example, the rotating member 20 can be sleeved on at least one side of the connecting bracket 30 on opposite sides perpendicular to the axial direction of the bearing seat 10 and rotatably connected to the connecting bracket 30; or, for example, the connecting bracket 30 can be provided with a shaft whose axial direction is perpendicular to the axial direction of the bearing seat 10, and the rotating member 20 is rotatably connected to the connecting bracket 30 through the shaft.

[0042] The rotating member 20 is embedded in the receiving groove 101 and rotatably connected to the connecting bracket 30. There is a gap between the outer surface of the rotating member 20 and the inner wall of the receiving groove 101 to avoid interference between the rotating member 20 and the inner wall of the receiving groove 101 when the rotating member 20 rotates. In other words, the rotating member 20 has a part located outside the receiving groove 101, that is, the end of the rotating member 20 away from the bearing seat 10 is exposed in the receiving groove 101 to facilitate the assembly of the feature parts of the smart device.

[0043] Optionally, the rotating member 20 can be sleeved on the side of the connecting bracket 30 away from the bearing seat 10 and rotatably connected to the connecting bracket 30, with the outer surface of the rotating member 20 adjacent to the inner wall of the receiving groove 101. The surface of the rotating member 20 exposed in the receiving groove 101 smoothly transitions to the groove opening plane of the receiving groove 101.

[0044] Optionally, the inner wall of the receiving groove 101 is spherical, the outer surface of the rotating member 20 is a spherical arc surface, and there is a gap between the spherical arc surface of the rotating member 20 and the inner wall of the receiving groove 101.

[0045] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 4 , Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the connecting bracket 30 in some embodiments of this application. Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the support 10 in some embodiments of this application.

[0046] The connecting bracket 30 may include a frame 310 rotatably connected to the rotating member 20 and a fixing part 320 provided on the frame 310. The fixing part 320 is provided on the side of the frame 310 facing the support seat 10 and is fixedly connected to the support seat 10. The fixing part 320 can be fixedly connected to the support seat 10 by means of screwing, snapping, or gluing.

[0047] Optionally, the fixing part 320 can be a protruding post on the frame 310, and the bearing seat 10 is provided with a hole 102 opposite to the fixing part 320. The fixing part 320 is embedded in the hole 102 to realize the fixed connection between the connecting bracket 30 and the bearing seat 10. The fixing part 320 can be a stud, and the hole 102 can be a screw hole.

[0048] Optionally, a first limiting portion 321 is provided on the periphery of the fixing portion 320, and a second limiting portion 322 is provided on the inner wall of the hole 102 on the bearing seat 10. The first limiting portion 321 and the second limiting portion 322 cooperate to restrict the degree of freedom of the connecting bracket 30 and the bearing seat 10 bracket in the circumferential direction of the fixing portion 320. The first limiting portion 321 can be a protrusion protruding from the periphery of the fixing portion 320, and the second limiting portion 322 can be a recess formed on the inner wall of the hole 102; or, the first limiting portion 321 can be a recess formed on the periphery of the fixing portion 320, and the second limiting portion 322 can be a protrusion protruding from the inner wall of the hole 102.

[0049] Optionally, the fixing part 320 can be a screw hole provided on the frame 310, and the bearing seat 10 is provided with a stud opposite to the fixing part 320. The stud and the screw hole cooperate to fix the bracket 30 and the bearing seat 10.

[0050] Optionally, the rotating assembly 100 may also include a fastener 50 (such as...). Figure 2 As shown, the support 10 has a hole 102 opposite to the fixing part 320. The fixing part 320 is fitted into the hole 102. The fastener 50 enters the hole 102 from the side of the support 10 away from the connecting bracket 30 to the fixing part 320 to fix the support 10 and the connecting bracket 30. The fastener 50 can be a screw or a bolt, and the end of the fixing part 320 can have a screw hole or hole that mates with the fastener 50.

[0051] In some embodiments, the frame 310 of the connecting bracket 30 is rotatably connected to the rotating member 20. Optionally, the rotating member 20 can be sleeved on the frame 310 and can rotate around the frame 310. Optionally, the rotating member 20 can be rotatably connected to the frame 310 via a shaft. For example, the frame 310 can be spherical, and the rotating member 20 can be sleeved on the spherical arc surface of the frame 310 and can rotate around the frame 310. Optionally, the plane containing the rotation direction of the rotating member 20 is perpendicular to the axial direction of the support 10, or the plane containing the rotation direction of the rotating member 20 is parallel to the axial direction of the support 10. As another example, a rotating shaft can be provided on the frame 310, and the rotating member 20 is connected to the rotating shaft and can rotate relative to the frame 310 via the rotating shaft. Optionally, the plane containing the rotation direction of the rotating member 20 is perpendicular to the axial direction of the support 10, or the plane containing the rotation direction of the rotating member 20 is parallel to the axial direction of the support 10.

[0052] It is understood that the above embodiments only exemplify whether the rotation of the rotating member 20 is parallel or perpendicular to the axial direction of the support 10, but are not limited thereto. For example, when the frame 310 or the rotating shaft on the frame 310 is tilted relative to the support 10, the rotation direction of the rotating member 20 will change accordingly.

[0053] In some embodiments, the frame 310 may include a shaft portion 311, a surrounding wall 312 disposed around the shaft portion 311, and a connecting portion 313 disposed between the shaft portion 311 and the surrounding wall 312. The fixing portion 320 may be disposed on the side of the surrounding wall 312 opposite to the shaft portion 311 and is used for fixed connection with the support 10.

[0054] Optionally, the shaft portion 311 can serve as a connection point for the rotating member 20 to be rotatably connected to the frame 310, with the rotating member 20 rotatably connected to the shaft portion 311. The enclosure 312 can be annular or fan-shaped. When the enclosure 312 is annular, the rotating member 20 has a portion that enters the area enclosed by the enclosure 312, and this portion is rotatably connected to the shaft portion 311; alternatively, when the enclosure 312 is annular, the shaft portion 311 extends out of the area enclosed by the enclosure 312 to achieve a rotatable connection with the rotating member 20. When the enclosure 312 is a fan-shaped annular structure, the rotating member 20 has a portion that enters the area enclosed by the enclosure 312 through the notch in the enclosure 312, and this portion is rotatably connected to the shaft 311. In this case, the notch in the enclosure 312 restricts the rotation range of the rotating member 20. Alternatively, when the enclosure 312 is a fan-shaped annular structure, the rotating member 20 has a portion that enters the area enclosed by the enclosure 312, and this portion is rotatably connected to the shaft 311. Alternatively, when the enclosure 312 is a fan-shaped annular structure, the shaft 311 extends out of the area enclosed by the enclosure 312 to achieve a rotatable connection with the rotating member 20.

[0055] Optionally, the rotating member 20 is sleeved on the enclosure wall 312 and can rotate around the enclosure wall 312. That is, the enclosure wall 312 can serve as the connection point for the rotating member 20 to be rotatably connected to the frame 310, and the rotating member 20 is rotatably connected to the enclosure wall 312. The enclosure wall 312 can be annular or fan-shaped. The rotating member 20 can be sleeved on one of the opposite sides of the enclosure wall 312 in the axial direction of the shaft portion 311 and can rotate circumferentially along the enclosure wall 312; and / or, the rotating member 20 can be sleeved on the other opposite side of the enclosure wall 312 in the axial direction of the shaft portion 311 and can rotate circumferentially along the enclosure wall 312.

[0056] Optionally, the rotating member 20 is sleeved on the enclosure wall 312 and is rotatable around the enclosure wall 312. The rotating member 20 is rotatably connected to the shaft portion 311. The enclosure wall 312 can be annular or fan-shaped. The rotating member 20 has a portion that enters the area enclosed by the enclosure wall 312, which is rotatably connected to the shaft portion 311, and another portion of the rotating member 20 is sleeved on the enclosure wall 312; or, the shaft portion 311 extends out of the area enclosed by the enclosure wall 312 to achieve a rotatable connection with the rotating member 20, and the rotating member 20 is sleeved on the enclosure wall 312.

[0057] In some embodiments, the axial directions of the shaft 311 and the enclosure 312 are substantially aligned. The plane containing the rotation direction of the rotating member 20 is perpendicular to the axial direction of the shaft 311. Optionally, as... Figure 3 As shown, the axial direction of the shaft portion 311 is substantially perpendicular to the axial direction of the bearing seat 10. The fixing portion 320 is provided on the side of the enclosure wall 312 away from the shaft portion 311. The plane containing the rotation direction of the rotating member 20 is substantially parallel to the axial direction of the bearing seat 10. Optionally, the axial direction of the shaft portion 311 is substantially parallel to the axial direction of the bearing seat 10, such as... Figure 3 The frame 310 is rotated 90°, and the fixing part 320 can be provided on the shaft 311. The plane in which the rotation direction of the rotating member 20 is located is generally perpendicular to the axial direction of the support 10. It is understood that the above embodiment only exemplifies whether the rotation of the rotating member 20 is parallel or perpendicular to the axial direction of the support 10, but is not limited thereto. When the shaft 311 is tilted relative to the support 10, the rotation direction of the rotating member 20 will change accordingly.

[0058] In some embodiments, the rotating assembly 100 may further include a shaft 60 (e.g., Figure 2 As shown, the shaft 60 passes through the frame 310 of the connecting bracket 30, and the rotating member 20 is connected to the shaft 60 so that the rotating member 20 can rotate relative to the frame 310. The axial directions of the shaft 60 and the shaft portion 311 are basically the same.

[0059] Optionally, the shaft 60 can be fixedly connected to the frame 310, and the shaft 60 is rotatably connected to the rotating member 20. The shaft 60 passes through the shaft portion 311 of the frame 310, the rotating member 20 is sleeved on the enclosure wall 312 of the frame 310, and the end of the shaft 60 abuts against the rotating member 20 and is rotatably connected to the rotating member 20. The shaft 60 can be fixedly connected to the shaft portion 311 by means of interference fit or other methods; the shaft 60 can be rotatably connected to the rotating member 20 by means of bearings or annular grooves.

[0060] Optionally, the shaft 60 can be rotatably connected to the frame 310, and the shaft 60 is fixedly connected to the rotating member 20. The shaft 60 passes through the shaft portion 311 of the frame 310 and is rotatably connected to the shaft portion 311. The rotating member 20 is sleeved on the enclosure wall 312 of the frame 310, and the end of the shaft 60 abuts against the rotating member 20 and is fixedly connected to the rotating member 20.

[0061] In some embodiments, the elastic element 40 (e.g. Figure 2 One end of the component (as shown) is connected to the rotating member 20, and the other end is connected to the frame 310 of the connecting bracket 30, so that when the rotating member 20 rotates relative to the connecting bracket 30, it pulls or compresses the elastic member 40 to deform and generate elastic force. The elastic member 40 can be a spring, torsion spring, sheet spring, rubber elastic member, or other structural member capable of elastic deformation.

Optionally, one end of the elastic member 40 can be fixedly connected to the rotating member 20, and the other end can be fixedly connected to the shaft portion 311 of the frame 310.

[0063] Of course, in other embodiments, one end of the elastic element 40 is connected to the rotating element 20 and the other end is connected to the shaft 60 of the rotating assembly 100, so that when the rotating element 20 rotates relative to the connecting bracket 30, the elastic element 40 is stretched or compressed to deform and generate elastic force. The elastic element 40 can be a spring, torsion spring, sheet spring, rubber elastic element or other structural component capable of elastic deformation.

[0064] Optionally, the elastic element 40 can be sleeved on the shaft 60, with one end fixedly connected to the rotating element 20 and the other end fixedly connected to the shaft portion 311. The elastic element 40 can be a spring or a torsion spring.

[0065] Optionally, the elastic element 40 can be sleeved on the shaft 60, with one end fixedly connected to the rotating element 20 and the other end passing through the shaft portion 311 and fixedly connected to the connecting portion 313. The elastic element 40 can be a spring or a torsion spring. Figure 3 As shown, the shaft portion 311 is provided with a notch 301, and the other end of the elastic member 40 extends through the notch 301 to the connecting portion 313 to achieve a fixed connection with the connecting portion 313.

[0066] Please see Figure 5 , Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the rotating member 20 in some embodiments of this application.

[0067] The rotating component 20 may include a first housing 210 and a second housing 220, which are respectively sleeved on opposite sides of the frame 310 of the connecting bracket 30, and abut against each other. Specifically, the first housing 210 is sleeved on one side of the frame 310, and the second housing 220 is sleeved on the other opposite side of the frame 310, with the first housing 210 and the second housing 220 abutting against each other to form a rotating component 20 capable of rotating relative to the frame 310. In other words, the first housing 210 and the second housing 220 are axially opposite each other on the shaft portion 311 of the frame 310, and are respectively sleeved on the surrounding wall 312 of the frame 310.

[0068] Optionally, the inner wall of the receiving groove 101 is spherical, the outer surface of the first housing 210 is a spherical arc surface, and the outer surface of the second housing 220 is a spherical arc surface. There is a gap between the spherical arc surface of the first housing 210 and the inner wall of the receiving groove 101, and there is a gap between the spherical arc surface of the second housing 220 and the inner wall of the receiving groove 101.

[0069] Optionally, the axial direction of the shaft portion 311 is substantially perpendicular to the axial direction of the support seat 10, and the plane containing the rotation direction of the rotating member 20 is substantially parallel to the axial direction of the support seat 10. The first housing 210 and the second housing 220 are fitted onto opposite sides of the enclosure wall 312 along the axial direction of the shaft portion 311.

[0070] Optionally, the axial direction of the shaft 311 is substantially parallel to the axial direction of the bearing seat 10, and the plane containing the rotation direction of the rotating member 20 is substantially perpendicular to the axial direction of the bearing seat 10. The first housing 210 or the second housing 220 is fitted onto the side of the enclosure 312 opposite to the bearing seat 10.

[0071] It is understood that the rotating component 20 may be composed of a single housing or may be composed of multiple housings in combination. This application is only an illustrative example, but is not limited thereto.

[0072] Optionally, the first housing 210 and the second housing 220 enclose a rotating member 20 with a receiving cavity 203, and the frame 310 of the connecting bracket 30 is disposed in the receiving cavity 203. That is, the first housing 210 and the second housing 220 cover the periphery of the frame 310 to hide the frame 310 in appearance, showing the appearance of the rotating member 20, that is, the rotating member 20 appears to rotate relative to the receiving groove 101. The elastic member 40 is located in the receiving cavity 203, with one end connected to the shaft 60 of the rotating assembly 100 and the other end connected to the rotating member 20. Optionally, the other end of the elastic member 40 can be connected to the first housing 210 and / or the second housing 220. For example, two elastic members 40 can be provided, with the two elastic members 40 respectively disposed at both ends of the shaft 60, and the two elastic members 40 respectively connected to the first housing 210 and the second housing 220. For example, the elastic element 40 may be provided in such a way that one elastic element 40 is located at one end of the shaft 60 and connected to the shaft 60, and another elastic element 40 is connected to the first housing 210 or the second housing 220 opposite to that end of the shaft 60.

[0073] Optionally, the first housing 210 has a first notch 201 on the side near the second housing 220, and the fixing part 320 of the connecting bracket 30 passes through the first notch 201 to limit the rotation angle of the rotating member 20. The first notch 201 extends circumferentially along the first housing 210. When the first housing 210 rotates relative to the connecting bracket 30, the fixing part 320 moves within the first notch 201 to limit the rotation range of the first housing 210.

[0074] For example, when the central angle corresponding to the first notch 201 is 60°, the rotation range of the first housing 210 is 60°; when the central angle corresponding to the first notch 201 is 180°, the rotation range of the first housing 210 is 180°. The range of the central angle corresponding to the first notch 201 can be 10°-180°.

[0075] Optionally, the second housing 220 has a second notch 202 on the side near the first housing 210, and the fixing part 320 of the connecting bracket 30 passes through the second notch 202 to limit the rotation angle of the rotating member 20. The second notch 202 extends circumferentially along the second housing 220. When the second housing 220 rotates relative to the connecting bracket 30, the fixing part 320 moves within the second notch 202 to limit the rotation range of the second housing 220.

[0076] For example, when the central angle corresponding to the second notch 202 is 60°, the rotation range of the second housing 220 is 60°; when the central angle corresponding to the second notch 202 is 180°, the rotation range of the second housing 220 is 180°. The range of the central angle corresponding to the second notch 202 can be 10°-180°.

[0077] Optionally, the central angles corresponding to the first notch 201 and the second notch 202 can be the same, and the first notch 201 and the second notch 202 can be set facing each other.

[0078] Understandably, when the first housing 210 and the second housing 220 are fitted onto the opposite sides of the connecting bracket 30, the first notch 201 communicates with the second housing 220 and encloses the movable space forming the fixing part 320. When the rotating member 20 includes only the first housing 210 or the second housing 220, the first notch 201 or the second notch 202 encloses the movable space forming the fixing part 320.

[0079] In some embodiments, the rotating member 20 has an extension 230 on the side opposite to the support base 10. This extension 230 is used to assemble the feature parts of the smart device. The feature parts can be assembled and connected to the extension 230 by means of snap-fit, adhesive, screw, or magnetic attraction.

[0080] Optionally, the extension 230 may be provided on the side of the first housing 210 away from the support 10, and / or the extension 230 may be provided on the side of the second housing 220 away from the support 10.

[0081] Optionally, the extension 230 may include a first extension 231 and a second extension 232 that abut against each other. The first extension 231 is disposed on the first housing 210 of the rotating member 20, and the second extension 232 is disposed on the second housing 220 of the rotating member 20. The rotating member 20 may also include a connector 240, through which the first extension 231 and the second extension 232 are fixedly connected. The connector 240 may be a bolt or screw, or other fixing connector. The connector 240 enters the first extension 231 and the second extension 232 sequentially from the side of the first extension 231 away from the second extension 232 to achieve a fixed connection; or, the connector 240 enters the second extension 232 and the first extension 231 sequentially from the side of the second extension 232 away from the first extension 231 to achieve a fixed connection.

[0082] Please see Figure 6 and Figure 7 , Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the smart device 1000 in some embodiments of this application. Figure 7 yes Figure 6 The embodiment shows a structurally disassembled schematic diagram of the intelligent device 1000. The intelligent device 1000 can be a robot, a bionic toy, or a companion robot, or other intelligent devices with exposed features.

[0083] The smart device 1000 may include a rotating assembly 100, a feature 200, and a device body 500. The rotating assembly 100 is mounted on the device body 500, and the feature 200 is detachably connected to the rotating component 20 of the rotating assembly 100. The rotating assembly 100 may be the same as the one described in the previous embodiments. The feature 200 may be an ear, a tail, or other exposed component of the smart device 1000. The detachable assembly and connection between the rotating component 20 and the feature 200 allows the same smart device 1000 to be adapted to different feature 200s, further enhancing the user experience.

[0084] Optionally, the extension 230 of the rotating member 20 is provided with a first magnetic element 1001, and the feature member 200 is provided with a second magnetic element 1002. The first magnetic element 1001 and the second magnetic element 1002 cooperate to connect the feature member 200 and the extension 230. One of the first magnetic element 1001 and the second magnetic element 1002 is a magnet, and the other is a magnet or a ferromagnetic element. The feature member 200 is connected to the extension 230 by the attraction force of the first magnetic element 1001 and the second magnetic element 1002, and can be detached when replacement or maintenance is required.

[0085] Optionally, when the feature 200 and the extension 230 are connected by adsorption through the first magnetic element 1001 and the second magnetic element 1002, there is a magnetic attraction between the first magnetic element 1001 and the second magnetic element 1002; when the feature 200 is subjected to an external force and the external force exceeds the magnetic attraction, the feature 200 and the extension 230 separate to avoid damage to the feature 200 or other component structures; when the feature 200 is subjected to an external force and the external force does not exceed the magnetic attraction, the feature 200 rotates relative to the device body 500 to buffer the external force on the feature 200.

[0086] The rotation direction of feature 200 faces the front or rear of smart device 1000, meaning the rotation direction of rotating component 20 faces the front or rear of smart device 1000, which is the direction in which smart device 1000 moves forward or backward. Therefore, when smart device 1000 performs actions such as running or jumping, it causes feature 200 to vibrate back and forth, enhancing the viewing experience.

[0087] Optionally, one of the feature 200 and the extension 230 is provided with a groove 1003, and the end of the other is embedded in the groove 1003. For example... Figure 7As shown, the feature 200 has a groove 1003 at its end, and the end of the extension 230 is fitted into the groove 1003, that is, the feature 200 is sleeved onto the extension 230 through the groove 1003 at its end. The second magnetic element 1002 can be disposed on the inner wall of the groove 1003, and the first magnetic element 1001 can be fitted into the end of the extension 230 (e.g., ...). Figure 5 As shown, a slot 233 is provided at the end of the extension 230, and the first magnetic element 1001 can be embedded in the slot 233.

[0088] Of course, in other embodiments, the groove 1003 can be provided on the extension 230, and the end of the feature 200 can be embedded in the groove 1003, that is, the extension 230 is sleeved on the feature 200 through the groove 1003 on its end. In this case, the first magnetic element 1001 can be provided on the inner wall of the groove 1003, and the second magnetic element 1002 can be embedded on the end of the feature 200.

[0089] Optionally, the device body 500 may include a housing 510, a mounting base 520, and a fastener 530. The housing 510 may be a shell component that forms the outer contour of the device body 500, and the device body 500 may be the head, tail, or torso of the smart device 1000. The fastener 530 may be a connecting fastener such as a screw or bolt.

[0090] The outer casing 510 may have a first surface 511 and a second surface 512 opposite to the device, and a through hole 513 penetrating the first surface 511 and the second surface 512. Optionally, the first surface 511 may be the inner surface of the outer casing 510, and the second surface 512 may be the outer surface of the outer casing 510, i.e., the outer appearance surface of the outer casing 510. The through hole 513 penetrates the inner and outer surfaces of the outer casing 510. The fixing seat 520 is disposed inside the device body 500, opposite to the through hole 513, and abuts against the first surface 511. The bearing seat 10 of the rotating assembly 100 is embedded in the through hole 513, and the outer periphery of the bearing seat 10 abuts against the second surface 512. The fixing member 530 enters the fixing seat 520, the bearing seat 10, and the connecting bracket 30 sequentially from the side of the fixing seat 520 away from the outer casing 510, so as to fix the fixing seat 520, the bearing seat 10, and the connecting bracket 30.

[0091] Understandably, in the aforementioned embodiments, the support 10 and the connecting bracket 30 are fixedly connected by fasteners 50. When the rotating component 100 is assembled onto the device body 500, the fasteners 50 can replace the fixing member 530 to achieve a fixed connection. Specifically, when the rotating component 100 needs to be assembled onto the device body 500, the fasteners 50 are unscrewed, and then the support 10 of the rotating component 100 is inserted into the through hole 513 until the outer periphery of the support 10 abuts against the second surface 512. The fixing seat 520 abuts against the first surface 511 and is sleeved on the side of the support 10 away from the connecting bracket 30. Then, the fasteners 50 are sequentially inserted from the side of the fixing seat 520 away from the outer shell 510 into the fixing seat 520, the support 10, and the connecting bracket 30 to fix the fixing seat 520, the support 10, and the connecting bracket 30. After assembly, the fixed base 520 and the bearing base 10 cooperate to clamp the outer shell 510, thereby fixing the rotating component 100 onto the outer shell 510.

[0092] Alternatively, in other embodiments, the structure of the fixing seat 520 can be omitted, and the carrier seat 10 can be directly fixed to the outer shell 510. The carrier seat 10 can be fixedly connected to the outer shell 510 by means of screwing, snap-fitting, bonding, or welding.

[0093] The rotating component and intelligent device provided in this application embodiment, when the feature is pushed or pulled by an external force, cause the feature to rotate relative to the support and the device body. This rotation causes the elastic element to deform and store elastic potential energy, thereby buffering the external force. After the external force is released, the elastic element releases its elastic potential energy, driving the rotating component and the feature to return to their initial angle. Specifically, when the feature is impacted by an external force, the feature can rotate relative to the device body, reducing the degree to which the impact is directly transmitted to the outer casing, thus reducing the risk of damage to the outer casing, rotating component, or feature.

[0094] The embodiments provided in this application are also provided. It should also be understood that the term "and / or" as used in this application specification and the appended claims refers to any combination of one or more of the associated listed items and all possible combinations, and includes such combinations.

The above descriptions are merely specific implementations of this application, but the scope of protection of this application is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art can easily conceive of various equivalent modifications or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed in this application, and these modifications or substitutions should all be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
