Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of smartwatch technology, and further to a smart host and a smartwatch. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of technology, watches are no longer limited to traditional timekeeping functions. Smartwatches, in particular, have successfully connected to the mobile internet through built-in smart hardware and operating systems, enabling multiple functions such as calls, information processing, multimedia entertainment, and health monitoring. They have become an extension and expansion of smartphones, bringing great convenience to people's daily lives.

[0003] However, in some usage scenarios, such as when adjusting the screen angle for a clearer view, avoiding glare, or switching to desktop viewing or landscape operation modes, the traditional fixed watch structure struggles to meet the need for flexible adjustment. Therefore, flip-screen smartwatches have gradually emerged in the market. These typically connect the main unit to the wrist rest via a hinge to achieve screen flipping. However, this design still has significant shortcomings in practical use: firstly, due to the small size and limited rotation radius of the main unit, the screen remains close to the wrist after flipping, often requiring users to raise their arms higher to obtain a better viewing angle, which can easily lead to fatigue; secondly, when wearing long-sleeved clothing or in certain postures, the cuffs or arms themselves can easily obstruct the screen, affecting information reading and touch operation experience, limiting its practicality and comfort in complex usage scenarios.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to design a smart host and a smartwatch to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the aforementioned technical problems, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a smart host and smartwatch that not only supports flexible screen rotation but also allows the host body to extend away from the wrist rest while rotating, thereby effectively raising the screen height, expanding the visible area, improving the operating experience, and achieving a comfortable and convenient user experience in multiple scenarios.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides an intelligent host, comprising:

[0007] Wrist support;

[0008] The main body has a display side and a back side that are arranged opposite to each other, and the back side of the main body is provided with a snap-fit ​​part and a hinge;

[0009] A rotating base is disposed on the back side of the main body and is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft;

[0010] A locking mechanism is provided on the rotating base, and the locking mechanism has a locking part that is adapted to engage with the locking part;

[0011] The support member has one end rotatably connected to the wrist rest and the other end rotatably connected to the rotating base;

[0012] When the locking mechanism is in the locked state, the locking part is adapted to the locking part, so that the main body is connected to the rotating seat, and the main body can rotate relative to the rotating seat around the rotating axis;

[0013] When the locking mechanism is in the unlocked state, the locking part disengages from the latching part, allowing the main body to carry the rotating shaft and separate from the rotating seat, the support member, and the wrist rest as a whole.

[0014] In some embodiments, the support member is a telescopic structure, which includes at least two telescopic joints that are nested together and a positioning mechanism disposed between the telescopic joints.

[0015] In some embodiments, the support member is a telescopic rod structure, one end of which is rotatably connected to one end of the wrist rest, and the other end is rotatably connected to one end of the rotating seat;

[0016] When the main body is stacked on the wrist rest, the telescopic rod structure is accommodated between the main body and the wrist rest, and the telescopic rod structure is located on one side of the rotating seat in the width direction of the main body.

[0017] In some embodiments, the support includes two parallel telescopic rod structures, one end of which is rotatably connected to one end of the wrist rest, and the other end of which is rotatably connected to one end of the rotating seat;

[0018] When the main body is stacked on the wrist rest, both telescopic rod structures are accommodated between the main body and the wrist rest, and the two telescopic rod structures are respectively located on both sides of the rotating seat in the width direction of the main body.

[0019] In some embodiments, the pivot is vertically fixed to the back side of the main body;

[0020] The rotating seat has a pivot hole in the middle, and the pivot is adapted to be inserted into the pivot hole, so that the rotating seat can rotate 360 ​​degrees around the pivot.

[0021] The locking mechanism is located on at least one side of the rotating base and is used to engage with the snap-fit ​​portion on the back of the main body to achieve locking.

[0022] In some embodiments, the snap-fit ​​portion includes an annular groove surrounding the circumference of the rotating shaft, and an annular flange is formed at the edge of the groove opening.

[0023] The locking part is a hook structure. When the locking mechanism is in the locked state, the hook structure extends into the annular groove and engages with the annular flange. When the locking mechanism is in the unlocked state, the hook structure disengages from the annular flange, allowing the hook structure to move out of the annular groove.

[0024] In some embodiments, the rotating seat includes a detachably connected seat body and a cover plate, the seat body is provided with a mounting groove, the locking mechanism is adapted to be installed in the mounting groove, and the hook structure passes through an opening on the cover plate and extends outward by a predetermined length.

[0025] In some embodiments, two locking mechanisms are provided, one on each side of the rotating seat along its width.

[0031] Compared with the prior art, the smart host and smartwatch provided by this utility model have the following beneficial effects:

[0032] In this invention, in the locked state, the main unit remains connected to the rotating base via a locking mechanism. The user can adjust the angle of the support as needed, allowing the main unit to extend and rise away from the wrist rest, thus achieving a better unobstructed screen viewing angle when worn. At the same time, the main unit itself can still rotate 360 ​​degrees around the pivot, further adapting to different viewing and operating angles, effectively solving the problem of traditional flip watch screens being close to the wrist and easily obstructed by sleeves or arms. In the unlocked state, the locking mechanism releases the constraint on the main unit, allowing the user to remove the main unit from the wrist rest and use it as an independent display module, greatly expanding its application scenarios.

Detailed Implementation

[0045] To more clearly illustrate the technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model or the prior art, the specific implementation methods of this utility model will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the drawings described below are merely some embodiments of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, other drawings and other implementation methods can be obtained based on these drawings without any creative effort.

[0046] To keep the drawings concise, each figure only schematically shows the parts relevant to the utility model, and these do not represent the actual structure of the product. Furthermore, for ease of understanding, in some figures, only one of the components with the same structure or function is schematically depicted, or only one is labeled. In this document, "one" not only means "only one," but can also mean "more than one."

[0047] It should also be further understood that the term “and / or” as used in this application specification and the appended claims means any combination of one or more of the associated listed items and all possible combinations, and includes such combinations.

[0048] In this document, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linking" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; they can refer to mechanical connections or electrical connections; they can refer to direct connections or indirect connections through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0049] Furthermore, in the description of this application, the terms "first," "second," etc., are used only to distinguish descriptions and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0050] In one embodiment, refer to the appendix to the specification. Figures 1 to 9The present invention provides a smart host comprising: a wrist rest 1, a host body 2, a rotating base 3, a locking mechanism 4, and a support member 5. The host body 2 has a display side and a back side arranged opposite to each other. The back side of the host body 2 is provided with a snap-fit ​​part 21 and a rotating shaft 22. The rotating base 3 is disposed on the back side of the host body 2 and is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 22. The locking mechanism 4 is disposed on the rotating base 3 and has a locking part 421 that is adapted to snap-fit ​​the snap-fit ​​part 21. One end of the support member 5 is rotatably connected to the wrist rest 1, and the other end is rotatably connected to the rotating base 3. When the locking mechanism 4 is in the locked state, the locking part 421 is adapted to snap-fit ​​the snap-fit ​​part 21, so that the host body 2 and the rotating base 3 are connected, and the host body 2 can rotate relative to the rotating base 3 around the rotating shaft 22. When the locking mechanism 4 is in the unlocked state, the locking part 421 disengages from the snap-fit ​​part 21, so that the host body 2, carrying the rotating shaft 22, can be separated from the rotating base 3, the support member 5, and the wrist rest 1 as a whole.

[0051] In this embodiment, in the locked state, the main body 2 remains connected to the rotating base 3 through the locking mechanism 4. The user can adjust the angle of the support 5 as needed, so that the main body 2 extends and rises away from the wrist rest 1, thereby obtaining a better unobstructed screen viewing angle when worn. At the same time, the main body 2 itself can still rotate 360 ​​degrees around the pivot 22 to further adapt to different viewing and operation angles, effectively solving the problem that the traditional flip watch screen is close to the wrist and easily blocked by sleeves or arms. In the unlocked state, the locking mechanism 4 releases the constraint on the main body 2, and the user can remove the main body 2 from the wrist rest 1 and use it as an independent display module, greatly expanding its application scenarios.

[0052] In one embodiment, refer to the appendix to the specification. Figure 1 , Figure 8 The support component 5 is a telescopic structure, comprising at least two interlocking telescopic joints 51 and a positioning mechanism disposed between each telescopic joint 51. This allows the overall length of the support component 5 to be adjusted steplessly or in increments within a wide range according to user needs. During use, the main unit 2 can be precisely adjusted to a comfortable relative height and tilt angle based on different viewing distances, ambient light, or operating postures, thus optimizing the human-computer interaction experience.

[0053] For example, the support member 5 is a telescopic rod structure. One end of the telescopic rod structure is rotatably connected to one end of the wrist rest 1, and the other end is rotatably connected to one end of the rotating base 3. When the main body 2 is stacked on the wrist rest 1, the telescopic rod structure is accommodated between the main body 2 and the wrist rest 1, and the telescopic rod structure is located on one side of the rotating base 3 in the width direction of the main body. In the stowed state where the main body 2 is stacked on the wrist rest 1, the entire telescopic rod structure is compactly accommodated in the gap between the main body 2 and the wrist rest 1, achieving complete concealment of the structure.

[0054] For example, the support member 5 includes two parallel telescopic rod structures. One end of each telescopic rod structure is rotatably connected to one end of the wrist rest 1, and the other end is rotatably connected to one end of the rotating base 3. When the main unit 2 is stacked on the wrist rest 1, both telescopic rod structures are accommodated between the main unit 2 and the wrist rest 1, and the two telescopic rod structures are located on both sides of the rotating base 3 in the width direction of the main unit. The two telescopic rod structures are arranged in parallel, providing support from both sides in the width direction of the rotating base, which can evenly distribute the load brought by the main unit 2 and effectively prevent shaking or deflection that may occur during use. Especially when the main unit 2 is extended to its maximum length or when the screen angle is adjusted, the dual support structure ensures the stability and reliability of the operation process.

[0055] It should be noted that the specific structure of the support member 5 is described in accordance with the accompanying drawings. In actual use, other structures may also be used, as long as the above functions can be achieved. This description is only for the purpose of better illustrating the present invention and should not be construed as a limitation of the present invention.

[0056] In one embodiment, refer to the appendix to the specification. Figures 2 to 7 The rotating shaft 22 is vertically fixed to the back side of the main body 2; the rotating seat 3 is provided with a rotating shaft hole in the middle, and the rotating shaft 22 is adapted to be inserted into the rotating shaft hole, so that the rotating seat 3 can rotate 360 ​​degrees around the rotating shaft 22; the locking mechanism 4 is provided on at least one side of the rotating seat 3, and is used to cooperate with the snap-fit ​​part 21 on the back side of the main body 2 to achieve locking.

[0057] Specifically, refer to the instruction manual appendix. Figure 3 , Figure 7 The engaging part 21 includes an annular groove surrounding the circumference of the rotating shaft 22, and an annular flange 211 is formed at the edge of the groove. The locking part 421 is a hook structure. When the locking mechanism 4 is in the locked state, the hook structure extends into the annular groove and engages with the annular flange 211; when the locking mechanism 4 is in the unlocked state, the hook structure disengages from the annular flange 211, allowing the hook structure to move out of the annular groove.

[0058] In the locked state, the hook structure penetrates deep into the annular groove and engages with the annular flange 211, ensuring a secure connection between the main body 2 and the rotating base 3 regardless of external force applied in any direction. This prevents accidental axial or radial loosening and ensures the integrity and stability of the main body 2 during flipping, adjustment, and use. Since the locking action occurs on the annular flange 211, which is concentric with the rotating shaft 22, the locking relationship between the hook structure and the annular flange 211 remains effective regardless of the angle to which the rotating base 3 rotates the main body 2. When separation is required, the locking mechanism 4 drives the hook structure to retract radially, disengaging it from the annular flange 211, allowing for quick axial removal of the main body from any angle.

[0059] Reference manual attached Figure 4 , Figure 5 The rotating base 3 includes a detachably connected base body 31 and a cover plate 32. The base body 31 has a mounting groove 311, and a locking mechanism 4 is fitted into the mounting groove 311. A hook structure passes through an opening 321 on the cover plate 32 and extends outward by a predetermined length. The detachable connection between the base body 31 and the cover plate 32 improves the product's assembly efficiency, maintenance convenience, and ease of internal cleaning. Two locking mechanisms 4 are provided, one on each side of the rotating base 3 along its width.

[0060] Reference manual attached Figure 6 The locking mechanism 4 includes a button assembly 41, a locking member 42, and a reset member 43. The button assembly 41 includes a button body 411, a pressing part 412, a first connecting part 413, and a second connecting part 414. The button body 411 is slidably disposed in the mounting groove 311 of the rotating base 3. The pressing part 412 is disposed at one end of the button body 411 and faces outward from the rotating base 3. The first connecting part 413 and the second connecting part 414 are disposed at the end of the button body 411 away from the pressing part 412. The locking member 42 is adapted to connect with the first connecting part 413. The locking part 421 is disposed on the locking member 42. The first connecting part 413 can be configured as a snap-fit ​​structure. The locking member 42 is correspondingly provided with a slot structure, thereby realizing the detachable connection between the locking member 42 and the button assembly 41. One end of the reset member 43 is connected to the second connecting part 414, and the other end abuts against the inner wall of the mounting groove of the rotating seat 3. The reset member 43 can be a spring, an elastic column, etc., and its quantity can be one, two or more.

[0061] As a user operation component, the button assembly 41 has an external pressing part 412 for easy application of force by the user, while the inner first connecting part 413 and second connecting part 414 are responsible for force transmission and reset functions, respectively. The locking member 42 is connected to the button body 411 through the first connecting part 413, which can convert the user's pressing force into radial movement of the locking part 421, thereby controlling locking and releasing.

[0062] It should be noted that the specific structure of the locking mechanism 4 is described in accordance with the accompanying drawings. In actual use, other structures may also be used, as long as the above functions can be achieved. This description is only for the purpose of better illustrating the present invention and should not be construed as a limitation of the present invention.

[0063] According to another aspect of this utility model, Figure 1 , Figure 9 This utility model further provides a smart watch, including any of the smart hosts described above, and also includes: a watch strap 6, with both ends of the wrist rest 1 connected to the watch strap 6 respectively.

[0064] In the above embodiments, the descriptions of each embodiment have different focuses. For parts that are not described in detail or recorded in a certain embodiment, please refer to the relevant descriptions of other embodiments.

[0065] It should be noted that the above embodiments can be freely combined as needed. The above are only optional embodiments of this utility model. It should be pointed out that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of this utility model.
