Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of batteries, and in particular to an arc-shaped battery structure for a smart ring. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of wearable devices, smart rings, as an emerging smart wearable product, are attracting increasing attention from consumers due to their compact size, portability, and diverse functions. Smart rings typically integrate multiple functions, such as health monitoring, information reminders, and mobile payments, all of which rely on a stable and reliable power supply.

[0003] The power design for smart rings presents numerous challenges. Due to their small size and extremely limited internal space, traditional battery structures are insufficient for their installation requirements. Conventional rectangular or cylindrical batteries are difficult to fit the ring-shaped appearance of smart rings, affecting not only their overall aesthetics but also potentially leading to insufficient utilization of internal space and hindering the proper arrangement of other functional components. Therefore, this paper proposes an arc-shaped battery structure for smart rings to address these issues. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology, this utility model provides an arc-shaped battery structure for a smart ring.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is:

[0006] This utility model provides an arc-shaped battery structure for a smart ring, including a housing, which is arc-shaped and contains an arc-shaped battery unit. The housing includes an inner part, an outer part, a bottom, a top, a first end, and a second end. The inner part and the outer part are arc-shaped, and the cross-section of the bottom and / or the top in the length direction is irregular.

[0007] Preferably, the cross-section along the length of the bottom and / or top is arc-shaped. This allows for adaptive design of the bottom and / or top shape of the battery structure based on the internal spatial form of the smart ring and the layout of surrounding components, enabling it to better fit the surrounding environment. This achieves the technical effect of optimizing the spatial arrangement of the battery inside the ring, improving space utilization, and enhancing the coordination between the battery structure and the overall ring.

[0008] Preferably, the cross-section along the length of the bottom and / or top is V-shaped. Designing the bottom and / or top cross-sections in a V-shape satisfies specific mechanical performance requirements, space avoidance requirements, or is based on the internal spatial structure of the smart ring and the layout of surrounding components. This achieves the technical effect of improving the stability of the battery structure or optimizing the layout of internal components within the ring.

[0009] Preferably, the cross-section along the length of the bottom and / or top is bowl-shaped. This bowl-shaped design protects the battery while better fitting into the internal space of the ring. This achieves the technical effect of increasing the functionality of the battery structure, such as providing additional installation space or protecting the battery, as well as a better fit into the internal space of the ring.

[0010] Preferably, the central axes of the inner and outer portions coincide, ensuring geometric symmetry and consistency between the inner and outer portions, making the casing structure more regular. This allows for a more uniform distribution of stress under load, improving the overall strength and stability of the casing, and also facilitates the stable installation of battery cells within the casing.

[0011] Preferably, the bottom and top are used to connect the two ends of the inner and outer sides in the width direction, respectively, so that the inner side, outer side, bottom, and top form a complete closed or semi-closed space to accommodate the battery cell. This achieves the technical effect of providing a stable installation environment for the battery cell and protecting it from external interference and impacts.

[0012] Preferably, the first end and the second end are used to connect the inner side, the outer side, the bottom, and the top ends along the length direction, respectively, further improving the structure of the housing and connecting and enclosing the various parts along the length direction to form a complete accommodating space. This achieves the technical effect of ensuring the structural integrity of the housing, enabling the battery cell to be safely and stably housed within it.

[0013] Preferably, the inner side, outer side, first end, and second end are integrally formed. This integral forming reduces the number of components in the casing, simplifies the manufacturing process, and enhances the overall integrity and sealing of the casing. This achieves the technical effects of improving casing production efficiency, reducing production costs, and enhancing the casing's protective performance for the battery cells.

[0014] Preferably, the second end can be obtained by rotating the first end relative to the central axis of the inner side; the inner side, outer side, bottom, top, first end, and second end form a receiving cavity, in which the battery cell is housed, making the structure of the casing more regular and easier to manufacture, while clearly defining the formation method of the receiving cavity and the installation position of the battery cell. This achieves the technical effect of simplifying the design and manufacturing process of the casing and ensuring that the battery cell can be accurately and stably installed in the receiving cavity.

[0015] Preferably, the housing is equipped with an electrode assembly for connecting the battery unit to an external circuit, establishing an electrical connection channel between the battery unit and the external circuit, enabling the battery unit's electrical energy to be transferred to the external circuit, and providing power support for the smart ring's functions. This achieves the technical effect of ensuring the normal operation of the smart ring and guaranteeing that its various functions can operate stably relying on the power supply of the battery unit.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: Through the above-described structural design, the arc-shaped design allows the battery to be perfectly integrated into the ring structure of the smart ring during use. This not only achieves a high degree of harmony and unity in appearance, making the overall lines of the ring smooth, natural, and aesthetically pleasing, greatly enhancing the product's visual appeal, but also, from the perspective of internal space utilization, the arc-shaped battery structure is highly compatible with the internal space of the ring. Combined with the irregular cross-section design at the bottom and / or top, it can be flexibly adjusted according to the layout of the internal components of the ring, fully optimizing the internal space and avoiding space waste and interference between components. Simultaneously, the arc-shaped design of each part of the shell and the overall structural design ensure the stability of the battery installation within the ring, reducing various problems that may arise from battery displacement, such as unstable circuit connections. This ensures the reliability and stability of the smart ring during use, providing users with a superior user experience. Attached Figure Description

[0027] Reference Figures 1 to 6 An arc-shaped battery structure for a smart ring includes a housing 1, which is arc-shaped and contains an arc-shaped battery unit 2. The housing 1 includes an inner part 11, an outer part 12, a bottom 13, a top 14, a first end 15, and a second end 16. The inner part 11 and the outer part 12 are arc-shaped, and the bottom 13 and / or the top 14 have irregular cross-sections in the length direction.

[0028] Through the aforementioned structural design, the arc-shaped design allows the battery to seamlessly integrate into the ring's circular structure during use. This not only achieves a high degree of harmony and unity in appearance, making the ring's overall lines smooth, natural, and aesthetically pleasing, greatly enhancing the product's visual appeal, but also, from the perspective of internal space utilization, the arc-shaped battery structure is highly compatible with the ring's internal space. Combined with the irregular cross-section design at the bottom and / or top, it can be flexibly adjusted according to the layout of the ring's internal components, fully optimizing the internal space and avoiding space waste and interference between components. Simultaneously, the arc-shaped design of each part of the casing and the overall structural design ensure the battery's installation stability within the ring, reducing various problems that may arise from battery displacement, such as unstable circuit connections. This ensures the reliability and stability of the smart ring during use, providing users with a superior user experience.

[0029] Specifically, in other embodiments, honeycomb cavities are provided on the inner side 11, outer side 12, bottom 13, top 14, first end 15 and second end 16.

[0030] Specifically, the distance between the two ends of the inner side 11 in the length direction is smaller than the distance between the two ends of the outer side 12 in the length direction. In other embodiments, the thickness of the outer side 12 is greater than the thickness of the inner side 11.

[0031] Preferably, the thickness of the first end portion 15 and the second end portion 16 is smaller than the thickness of the inner side portion 11.

[0032] Specifically, the inner surfaces of the bottom 13 and / or the top 14 are provided with multiple equally spaced micro-elastic limiting ribs. The cross-section of the limiting ribs is dome-shaped or semi-circular, forming a dot-shaped or circular contact, which not only achieves geometric limiting of the battery cell 2, but also leaves room for assembly tolerance and thermal expansion and contraction.

[0033] Specifically, in the second embodiment, the cross-sections of the bottom 13 and / or the top 14 along their length are arc-shaped. This allows for adaptive design of the shape of the bottom 13 and / or the top 14 of the battery structure based on the internal spatial form of the smart ring and the layout of surrounding components, enabling it to better fit the surrounding environment. This achieves the technical effect of optimizing the spatial arrangement of the battery inside the ring, improving space utilization, and enhancing the coordination between the battery structure and the overall ring.

[0034] Specifically, in the third embodiment, the cross-sections of the bottom 13 and / or the top 14 along their length are V-shaped. By designing the cross-sectional shape of the bottom 13 and / or the top 14 as V-shaped, specific mechanical performance requirements, space avoidance requirements, or the internal spatial form of the smart ring and the layout of surrounding components are met. This achieves the technical effect of improving the stability of the battery structure or optimizing the layout of the internal components of the ring.

[0035] Specifically, the V-shaped bottom 13 and / or top 14 are used to fit the outer shell of the smart ring while increasing the effective capacity of the battery unit 2.

[0036] Specifically, in the fourth embodiment, the cross-section of the bottom 13 and / or the top 14 along its length is bowl-shaped. This bowl-shaped arrangement protects the battery while better fitting into the internal space of the ring. This achieves the technical effect of increasing the functionality of the battery structure, such as providing additional installation space or protecting the battery, and better fitting into the internal space of the ring.

[0037] Specifically, the central axes of the inner part 11 and the outer part 12 coincide, ensuring the symmetry and consistency of the inner part 11 and the outer part 12 in terms of geometric structure, making the structure of the housing 1 more regular. This enables the housing 1 to distribute stress more evenly when under load, improving the overall strength and stability of the housing 1, and also facilitating the stable installation of the battery unit 2 within the housing 1.

[0038] Specifically, the bottom 13 and top 14 are used to connect the two ends of the inner side 11 and the outer side 12 in the width direction, respectively, so that the inner side 11, the outer side 12, the bottom 13 and the top 14 form a complete closed or semi-closed space to accommodate the battery unit 2. This achieves the technical effect of providing a stable installation environment for the battery unit 2 and protecting the battery unit 2 from external interference and impacts.

[0039] Specifically, the first end 15 and the second end 16 are used to connect the inner side 11, the outer side 12, the bottom 13, and the top 14 at their respective ends along the length, further improving the structure of the housing 1 and connecting and enclosing the various parts along the length to form a complete accommodating space. This achieves the technical effect of ensuring the structural integrity of the housing 1, allowing the battery unit 2 to be safely and stably housed within it.

[0040] Specifically, the inner portion 11, the outer portion 12, the first end portion 15, and the second end portion 16 are integrally formed. The purpose of integral forming is to reduce the number of parts in the housing 1, simplify the manufacturing process, and enhance the integrity and sealing of the housing 1. This achieves the technical effects of improving the production efficiency of the housing 1, reducing production costs, and enhancing the protective performance of the housing 1 for the battery cell 2.

[0041] Specifically, the first end portion 15 and the second end portion 16 have the same structure, and the second end portion 16 can be obtained by rotating the first end portion 15 relative to the central axis of the inner side portion 11. The inner side portion 11, the outer side portion 12, the bottom 13, the top 14, the first end portion 15, and the second end portion 16 surround and form a receiving cavity 3, in which the battery unit 2 is received. This makes the structure of the housing 1 more regular and easier to manufacture, while clarifying the formation method of the receiving cavity 3 and the installation position of the battery unit 2. This achieves the technical effect of simplifying the design and manufacturing process of the housing 1 and ensuring that the battery unit 2 can be accurately and stably installed in the receiving cavity 3.

[0042] Specifically, the housing 1 is equipped with an electrode assembly 4, which is used to connect the battery unit 2 to the external circuit, establishing an electrical connection channel between the battery unit 2 and the external circuit. This allows the electrical energy of the battery unit 2 to be transmitted to the external circuit, providing power support for the smart ring's functions. This achieves the technical effect of ensuring the normal operation of the smart ring and guaranteeing that its various functions can operate stably relying on the power supply of the battery unit 2.

[0043] Specifically, the electrode assembly 4 has a tab guide window (corresponding to the positive and negative poles respectively) at the second end 16. The guide window is a two-section window with a "flared mouth + straight hole". The flared mouth section is located in the accommodating cavity 3, and the straight hole section passes through the end, so that the tab is centered when fixed.

[0044] Specifically, in this embodiment, the electrode assembly 4 is arranged at the first end 15 or the second end 16 of the housing 1, and is connected to the positive and negative tabs of the battery unit 2 through the tab guide window.

[0045] Specifically, the part of the electrode assembly 4 that extends out of the housing 1 can be designed as a planar pad, pin terminal, spring contact, etc., for direct connection with external circuit boards (FPC flexible board or PCB rigid board).

[0046] The specific implementation principle is based on existing publicly available technology, which will not be elaborated upon here.

[0047] The above description provides one or more embodiments in conjunction with specific content, but it is not intended that the specific implementation of this utility model is limited to these descriptions. Any methods or structures that are similar to or identical to those of this utility model, or any technical deductions or substitutions made based on the concept of this utility model, should be considered within the scope of protection of this utility model.
