Description

Sealing components, mid-frame components, watch body, wearable devices, waterproof components

[0001] This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 202411929885.3, filed with the State Intellectual Property Office of China on December 23, 2024, entitled "Sealing Component, Mid-Frame Component, Watch Body, Wearable Device, Waterproof Component", the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field

[0002] This application relates to the field of wearable device technology, and more particularly to a wearable device, a watch body that can be used in the wearable device, and a mid-frame component and a sealing component that can be used in the watch body. It also relates to a waterproof component and an electronic device including the waterproof component. Background Technology

[0003] Wearable devices generally refer to electronic devices that can be worn on the body for activities, and can include smartwatches and smart bracelets.

[0004] Wearable devices are being used in increasingly complex environments, such as deep water, which necessitates high levels of waterproofing. Currently, some wearable devices have low waterproof ratings; for example, they can only be used in water depths of less than 100 meters. In deeper water environments, their waterproof sealing performance is poor and requires further optimization. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This application provides a wearable device, a watch body that can be used in the wearable device, a mid-frame assembly and a sealing assembly that can be used in the watch body, a waterproof component, and an electronic device including the waterproof component. The main objective is to improve the waterproof sealing effect.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the embodiments of this application adopt the following technical solutions:

[0007] In a first aspect, this application provides a sealing component that can be applied in wearable devices, such as watches or bracelets, and the sealing component is used to prevent external water from entering the wearable device.

[0008] The sealing component provided in this application includes a sealing element and a ventilated plate. The sealing component can be used in wearable devices. The sealing element can move toward the ventilated plate under the action of external water pressure to seal the ventilated plate.

[0009] In this sealing assembly, the surface of the sealing member facing the vent plate has a first protrusion; the vent plate is provided with an annular second protrusion and at least one vent hole, the at least one vent hole being located in the area surrounded by the second protrusion; the projection of the first protrusion on the vent plate is located outside the boundary of the second protrusion; when the sealing member moves toward the vent plate, the first protrusion can press against the second protrusion.

[0010] When the sealing component moves under external water pressure and comes into contact with the vent plate, the matching first and second protrusions can be used to improve the sealing effect and reduce the chance of external water passing through the vent plate and entering the equipment.

[0011] For example, compared to the design without a second protrusion on the vent plate, i.e., the surface of the vent plate in contact with the sealing component is flat, in order to improve the sealing effect, the surface needs to have a high degree of flatness. Because with a larger surface contact, unevenness in some areas will form gaps, which will allow water to pass through the gaps. Especially under high water pressure, it is easier for external water to enter the equipment.

[0012] However, in this application, during the movement of the sealing member toward the vent plate, the first protrusion can press against the second protrusion. This can be understood as follows: compared to the above-mentioned scheme without a second protrusion, this application reduces the surface contact area between the original sealing member and the vent plate. For example, this application changes the large contact area to a smaller line contact, which easily achieves sealing. Furthermore, since the projection of the first protrusion on the vent plate is located outside the boundary of the second protrusion, that is, the area occupied by the first protrusion is larger than the area occupied by the second protrusion, the first protrusion will not only press against the second protrusion, but also deform as the external water pressure increases. In addition to contacting the second protrusion, other parts of the first protrusion will also deform and contact the rest of the vent plate, further inhibiting external water from entering the vent plate, thereby improving the sealing performance.

[0013] In one possible implementation, there are multiple vents arranged at intervals, and a first protrusion surrounds the outer periphery of the multiple vents.

[0014] The vent in this application example has multiple vents, not just one. That is, this application uses multiple small vents instead of one large vent. If it were a large vent, under external water pressure, the elastic first protrusion would easily be sucked into the large vent, and water would also be sucked in. However, by using multiple small vents, the risk of the first protrusion being sucked in can be reduced, thereby reducing the probability of water entering the device and improving the sealing performance.

[0015] In one possible implementation, the vent plate also includes a contact area located around the periphery of the second protrusion; when the sealing member moves toward the vent plate, the first protrusion can press against the contact area.

[0016] In this application, when the sealing component seals the vent plate, the second protrusion of the vent plate is not only pressed by the first protrusion, but also by some other areas. This can further improve the sealing and waterproofing effect, especially when the water pressure is high, the waterproof sealing performance is better.

[0017] In one possible implementation, the first protrusion is elastic, while the second protrusion is a rigid structure.

[0018] When the first protrusion presses against the second protrusion under external water pressure, the elastic first protrusion deforms and can fit tightly against the rigid second protrusion. The two protrusions of the elastic and rigid parts cooperate to optimize the waterproof performance.

[0019] In one possible implementation, the surface of the first protrusion opposite to the second protrusion is a first arc surface, which protrudes toward the breathable plate; the distance between the first arc surface and the breathable plate gradually increases from the center of the first arc surface toward the edge.

[0020] In one possible implementation, the surface of the second protrusion opposite to the first protrusion is a second arc surface protruding toward the sealing member.

[0021] In one feasible approach, the vent plate is a metal plate, and the second protrusion is an integral structural component of the vent plate.

[0022] Since the second protrusion and the vent plate are an integral structural component and are made of metal, the overall strength and reliability of the vent plate can be improved. For example, when the external water pressure is high, the chance of the vent plate deforming can be reduced.

[0023] In one possible implementation, the sealing element includes: a pressure plate, a plug, and at least one slide rod; the slide rod is connected to the pressure plate, the plug is connected to the pressure plate, the plug is located on the side of the pressure plate facing the vent plate, a first protrusion is located on the plug, the plug is elastic, and the first protrusion and the plug are an integral structural component.

[0024] In this structure, a pressure plate senses water pressure, and a sliding rod connected to the pressure plate can slide under water pressure, thereby moving the plug towards the vent plate. In this example, the first protrusion and the elastic plug are an integral structural component, which allows for better fit with the vent plate, improving the waterproof sealing effect. Furthermore, the first protrusion being integrally formed on the plug enhances its connection strength, improves the mechanical strength of the entire sealing component, and increases its reliability.

[0025] In one possible implementation, there are multiple slide bars, spaced apart on the pressure plate; plugs and vent plates are located between the multiple slide bars.

[0026] Using multiple sliding rods can improve the movement stability of the entire sealing component. The plug and vent plate are located between multiple sliding rods, so that the plug and vent plate will not occupy a large space, thus improving space utilization.

[0027] Secondly, this application provides a mid-frame assembly, which includes a mid-frame and a sealing component according to any of the above implementations, the sealing component being disposed on the mid-frame; a connecting hole is provided on the mid-frame, the connecting hole being located on the side of the vent plate opposite to the first protrusion, and the connecting hole communicating with the vent plate.

[0028] Since the middle frame assembly provided in this application includes the sealing assembly provided in the above embodiments, the first protrusion can press against the second protrusion during the movement of the sealing member toward the vent plate. It can be understood that, compared with the solution without the second protrusion, this application reduces the contact area between the sealing member and the vent plate. For example, this application changes the contact area to a line contact with a smaller contact area, which makes it easy to achieve sealing and improves the sealing effect.

[0029] In one possible implementation, a hole is provided in the middle frame, and the sealing element can move along the hole toward the vent plate.

[0030] In the mid-frame assembly provided in this application, the sealing element can move along the hole, meaning the sealing element and the mid-frame are in a movable fit. The hole for the sealing element to slide (this hole can be called a pressure differential hole) can be connected to the internal space of the wearable device. In this way, after the wearable device is submerged in water, a pressure difference will be formed between the external water and the inside of the device. For example, as the diving depth increases, the water pressure increases, and the external water pressure will gradually overcome the internal pressure of the device, the friction between the sealing element and the device, and other forces. Consequently, the sealing element will move along the hole until it moves to fit against the vent plate and blocks the vent plate.

[0031] Therefore, the sealing component in this application example is an automatic mechanical sealing component that does not require user operation. Instead, it uses external water pressure and the pressure difference inside the equipment to block the vent plate.

[0032] In addition, after the wearable device is submerged in water, as the diving depth gradually increases and the water pressure gradually increases, the sealing component moves continuously along the hole and gradually approaches the vent plate. Furthermore, as the diving depth increases and the water pressure increases, the sealing component presses the vent plate more tightly, resulting in a better sealing effect. For example, the wearable device can be used at depths of over 200 meters.

[0033] In one possible implementation, the mid-frame assembly includes a connecting hole, which can be a pressure balancing hole.

[0034] In one possible implementation, the middle frame is made of plastic and the ventilated plate is made of metal. For example, the middle frame has a receiving groove, and the ventilated plate is set in the receiving groove by an adhesive layer.

[0035] In this example, the mid-frame and the ventilated panel can be two independent structural components, with the ventilated panel connected to the mid-frame via an adhesive layer. This structure is easy to manufacture and has low manufacturing costs.

[0036] In one feasible approach, the mid-frame is a metal mid-frame, and the vent plate is an integral structural component of the mid-frame.

[0037] Thirdly, this application also provides a watch body that can be used in wearable devices, such as watches or bracelets.

[0038] The watch body includes a waterproof component and a mid-frame assembly as described in any of the above implementations. The waterproof component is disposed on the mid-frame and is located on the side of the breathable plate opposite to the first protrusion. The waterproof component is connected to the breathable plate and the connecting hole.

[0039] In the watch body provided in this application, when the external water pressure is low and the pressure difference between the external water and the inside of the watch body is small, and the sealing component is in a static state, the waterproof component can be used to prevent external water from entering the watch body, thus achieving a waterproof function. When a pressure difference is formed between the external water and the inside of the watch body, for example, as the diving depth increases, the external water pressure will gradually overcome the internal pressure of the watch body, the friction between the sealing component and the watch case, and other forces. Consequently, the sealing component will move along the hole until it moves to fit against the vent plate, blocking the vent plate and preventing water from entering the waterproof component.

[0040] When the external water pressure is high, as the sealing component moves toward the vent plate, the first protrusion can press against the second protrusion. This can be understood as reducing the surface contact area between the original sealing component and the vent plate compared to the solution without the second protrusion. For example, this application changes the contact area to a line contact with a smaller contact area, which makes it easy to achieve a seal and improves the sealing effect.

[0041] The sealing element in the sample body of this application is an automatic mechanical sealing component that does not require user operation. Instead, it uses external water pressure and the pressure difference inside the equipment to block the vent plate.

[0042] In addition, after the wearable device is submerged in water, as the diving depth gradually increases and the water pressure gradually increases, the sealing component moves continuously along the hole and gradually approaches the vent plate. Furthermore, as the diving depth increases and the water pressure increases, the sealing component presses the vent plate more tightly, resulting in a better sealing effect. For example, the wearable device can be used at depths of over 200 meters.

[0043] In one possible implementation, the waterproof component includes: an oleophobic membrane, a first waterproof membrane, and a first support sheet, the first support sheet having a first vent hole communicating with the interior of the watch body; the oleophobic membrane, the first waterproof membrane, and the first support sheet are arranged sequentially along the direction from the outside to the inside of the watch body.

[0044] In other words, the waterproof component of this application includes not only a waterproof membrane with waterproof and breathable functions, but also an oleophobic membrane, with the oleophobic membrane positioned on the outside of the waterproof membrane. This means that external water must first pass through the oleophobic membrane before flowing into the waterproof membrane. The oleophobic membrane has oleophobic and hydrophobic properties, preventing the adhesion of oil and water droplets. Thus, the oleophobic membrane can block oily water from entering, preventing water flowing into the waterproof membrane from being contaminated by oil, reducing the likelihood of waterproof membrane failure and improving its reliability. For example, hand sanitizer or other daily chemical products can be blocked by the oleophobic membrane, and the waterproof membrane will not be contaminated by hand sanitizer, improving the long-term reliability of the waterproof component.

[0045] The waterproof component of this application also includes a first support sheet with vent holes. The first support sheet supports the oleophobic membrane and the waterproof membrane, ensuring that the oleophobic membrane and the waterproof membrane will not deform or puncture under high water pressure, thus achieving a high level of waterproof capability.

[0046] Therefore, the watch case provided in this application is used in wearable devices, and the waterproof membrane can be protected from the effects of harsh external working conditions, thereby improving the long-term reliability of the waterproof membrane. In addition, the wearable device can also be used in deeper waters, for example, it can be used at depths of over 200 meters.

[0047] In one possible implementation, the waterproof component also includes a filter sheet located on the side of the oleophobic membrane opposite to the waterproof membrane.

[0048] Because the filter is located on the side of the oleophobic membrane away from the waterproof membrane, external water needs to pass through the filter first. The filter can filter out some particles, purifying the water flowing into the oleophobic and waterproof membranes. For example, the filter can filter out particles such as mud and sand, thereby further improving the long-term reliability of the waterproof component.

[0049] In one possible implementation, the first waterproof membrane is connected to the first support sheet via a first adhesive layer disposed at the edge of the first waterproof membrane, and the oleophobic membrane is connected to the first waterproof membrane via a second adhesive layer disposed at the edge of the oleophobic membrane.

[0050] In this implementation, the oleophobic membrane is directly bonded to the waterproof membrane through the adhesive layer. This reduces the overall thickness of the waterproof component and the space it occupies within the body of the surface.

[0051] In one possible implementation, the first waterproof membrane is connected to the first support sheet via a first adhesive layer disposed at the edge of the first waterproof membrane; the waterproof component also includes a second support sheet having a third vent hole communicating with the interior of the body; and the oleophobic membrane is connected to the second support sheet via a second adhesive layer disposed at the edge of the oleophobic membrane.

[0052] In this example, the first waterproof membrane is supported by the first support sheet, and the oleophobic membrane is supported by the second support sheet. This reduces the risk of the first waterproof membrane and the oleophobic membrane being punctured due to deformation caused by excessive water pressure, resulting in a better working environment for each membrane (including the waterproof membrane and the oleophobic membrane). This allows the waterproof component to work in deeper water pressure environments, resulting in better long-term reliability.

[0053] In addition, among some optional processes, the first waterproof membrane can be bonded to the first support sheet, and the oleophobic membrane can be bonded to the second support sheet. That is, the waterproof membrane and the oleophobic membrane are made separately. This process is easier to implement and can reduce the manufacturing cost of the waterproof component.

[0054] In one possible implementation, a connecting hole is provided on the middle frame, with a vent plate and a waterproof component located on opposite sides of the connecting hole.

[0055] This can be understood as follows: the connecting hole is located between the vent plate and the waterproof component, that is, the waterproof component is set close to the inside of the watch body.

[0056] In this example, the connecting hole can be a pressure balancing hole.

[0057] In one possible implementation, a connecting hole is provided on the middle frame, and a breathable plate and a waterproof component are located on opposite sides of the connecting hole. The connecting hole includes a first connecting hole and a second connecting hole, which are arranged side by side. The first waterproof membrane includes a waterproof and sound-permeable membrane and a waterproof and breathable membrane. The waterproof and breathable membrane is arranged opposite to the first connecting hole, and the waterproof and sound-permeable membrane is arranged opposite to the second connecting hole. An oleophobic membrane is provided at the position opposite to the first connecting hole and at the position opposite to the second connecting hole.

[0058] For example, in some wearable devices, some usage environments require a waterproof membrane with good breathability, while others require a waterproof membrane with low sound loss. In this way, waterproof and sound-permeable membranes and waterproof and breathable membranes with different functions can be set between the oleophobic membrane and the first support sheet to meet different working conditions.

[0059] For example, the first connecting hole includes a pressure equalization hole, and the second connecting hole includes a microphone hole.

[0060] When wearable devices have pressure balance holes and microphone holes, for pressure balance holes, the waterproof component needs to have good breathability. Therefore, the waterproof and breathable membrane is set opposite to the pressure balance hole to ensure air permeability. For microphone holes, the waterproof component needs to have low sound loss. Therefore, the waterproof and sound-permeable membrane is set opposite to the microphone hole to ensure sound transmission and achieve low audio loss.

[0061] In one feasible approach, the waterproof and sound-permeable membrane is positioned closer to the first support sheet than the waterproof and breathable membrane.

[0062] For example, in wearable devices, the waterproof component is positioned closer to the outside of the device body than the component that needs to be protected (such as a microphone). In this example, the waterproof acoustic membrane is positioned closer to the first support sheet than the waterproof breathable membrane. That is, the waterproof acoustic membrane is closer to the microphone, which can reduce the audio loss between the waterproof acoustic membrane and the microphone.

[0063] In one possible implementation, a first mounting groove is provided on the middle frame, and a waterproof component is disposed in the first mounting groove. The waterproof component is connected to the watch body through a connecting structure. The connecting structure includes a pressure plate and fasteners. The pressure plate is disposed on the side of the waterproof component closer to the inside of the watch body, and the fasteners pass through the pressure plate and are connected to the watch body.

[0064] In this structure, the first groove for installing the waterproof component is opened on the inside of the watch case, and the connecting hole is opened on the outside of the watch case. This allows for a larger sealing area between the sealing component and the watch case, making it easier to achieve sealing under low water pressure.

[0065] In one feasible approach, a second waterproof membrane is provided on the side of the pressure plate opposite to the waterproof component, and the pressure plate has vent holes that connect the waterproof component and the second waterproof membrane.

[0066] Using a second waterproof membrane in conjunction with waterproof components that include the first waterproof membrane can further enhance the waterproofing effect.

[0067] In one possible implementation, the sealing element includes at least one slide rod disposed within a hole, the slide rod being movable along the hole; an insert space is provided within the slide rod, an elastic element is disposed within the insert space, a guide post is provided on the middle frame extending into the insert space, the elastic element is fitted onto the guide post, the elastic element is used to provide elastic force for the sealing element to move away from the waterproof element; a fastener extends through the pressure plate into the guide post.

[0068] By placing the elastic element within the recessed space inside the slide bar, such as a spring, the number of spring coils can be increased, resulting in better elastic stability. Furthermore, placing the elastic element on the guide post ensures the deformation direction of the elastic element, allowing the entire sealing assembly to move in a straight line.

[0069] Furthermore, in this example, the fasteners used to secure the waterproof components extend through the pressure plate into the guide post. This not only makes full use of the guide post structure, but also maximizes the use of the internal space of the watch body compared to connecting the fasteners to other structures. It also allows for a larger cross-sectional area of ​​the slide bar, requiring less water pressure. In this way, the sealing component can be pushed in shallow water to seal the waterproof components.

[0070] In one possible implementation, a connecting hole is provided on the middle frame, and both the waterproof component and the vent plate are located on the side of the connecting hole closer to the outside of the watch body; a second mounting groove is provided on the middle frame, and the waterproof component and the vent plate are located in the second mounting groove, with the vent plate positioned closer to the outside of the watch body than the waterproof component.

[0071] Because the watch case has a second groove on the side facing the sealing component, the waterproof component is placed in the second groove. As the dive goes deeper, the water pressure increases, and the sealing component presses the waterproof component more tightly, so that the waterproof component is pressed tightly into the second groove. Using the second groove to install the waterproof component not only achieves a better sealing effect as the dive goes deeper, but the installation structure is also relatively simple and does not take up much space inside the watch case.

[0072] In one possible implementation, the watch body also includes a decorative panel with a mounting cavity, in which at least a portion of the sealing element is slidably disposed; the decorative panel is connected to the middle frame by threaded fasteners and a snap-fit ​​structure.

[0073] In this structure, the decorative panel is connected to the case using two different connection structures: one is a threaded fastener, and the other is a snap-fit ​​structure. The snap-fit ​​structure occupies less space, which allows for a larger cross-sectional area of ​​the slide bar. When the wearable device is in shallow water, the sealing component can be pushed to seal the waterproof parts.

[0074] In one feasible approach, a barometer is installed inside the watch case, arranged side-by-side with a waterproof component, and a sealing component that moves along the hole can seal the barometer.

[0075] The sealing component provided in this application can not only block the waterproof component, but also block the barometer by utilizing the pressure difference between the external water and the inside of the instrument body. This reduces the chance of high water pressure damaging the barometer.

[0076] Fourthly, this application provides a wearable device, which includes a watch strap and a watch body, wherein the watch body is the watch body in any of the above implementations, and the watch strap is connected to the watch body.

[0077] In the wearable device provided in this application, during the movement of the sealing member toward the ventilated plate, the first protrusion can press against the second protrusion. It can be understood that, compared with the solution without the second protrusion, this application reduces the surface contact area between the original sealing member and the ventilated plate. For example, this application changes the contact area to a line contact with a smaller contact area, which makes it easy to achieve a seal and improve the sealing effect.

[0078] Fifthly, this application provides a waterproof component for use on electronic devices. The waterproof component includes: an oleophobic membrane, a waterproof membrane, and a first support sheet, wherein the first support sheet has a first vent hole; the oleophobic membrane, the waterproof membrane, and the first support sheet are stacked sequentially.

[0079] The waterproof component provided in this application includes stacked oleophobic and waterproof membranes. In this way, external water must first pass through the oleophobic membrane before flowing into the waterproof membrane. The oleophobic membrane has the functions of repelling oil and water, preventing the adhesion of oil and water droplets. Therefore, the oleophobic membrane can block oily water from entering, preventing water flowing into the waterproof membrane from being contaminated by oil, reducing the probability of waterproof membrane failure, and improving the reliability of the waterproof membrane.

[0080] In addition, the waterproof membrane of this application includes a waterproof and sound-permeable membrane and a waterproof and breathable membrane, both of which are located between the oleophobic membrane and the first support sheet, and are staggered in the thickness direction of the waterproof component.

[0081] In some wearable devices, some usage environments require a waterproof membrane with good breathability, while others require a waterproof membrane with low sound loss. In this way, waterproof and sound-permeable membranes and waterproof and breathable membranes with different functions can be set between the oleophobic membrane and the first support sheet to meet different working conditions.

[0082] In one possible implementation, the waterproof component also includes a filter sheet located on the side of the oleophobic membrane opposite to the waterproof membrane.

[0083] Because the filter is located on the side of the oleophobic membrane away from the waterproof membrane, external water needs to pass through the filter first. The filter can filter out some particles and purify the water flowing into the oleophobic and waterproof membranes, thereby further improving the long-term reliability of the waterproof component.

[0084] In one possible implementation, the waterproof and sound-permeable membrane is positioned closer to the first support sheet than the waterproof and breathable membrane. In another possible implementation, the waterproof membrane is connected to the first support sheet via a first adhesive layer disposed at the edge of the waterproof membrane; the oleophobic membrane is connected to the waterproof membrane via a second adhesive layer disposed at the edge of the oleophobic membrane.

[0085] In this implementation, the oleophobic membrane is directly bonded to the waterproof membrane through the adhesive layer. This reduces the overall thickness of the waterproof component and the space it occupies within the body of the surface.

[0086] In one possible implementation, the waterproof membrane is connected to the first support sheet via a first adhesive layer disposed at the edge of the waterproof membrane; the waterproof component also includes a second support sheet having a second vent hole; and the oleophobic membrane is connected to the second support sheet via a second adhesive layer disposed at the edge of the oleophobic membrane.

[0087] In this example, the waterproof membrane is supported by the first support sheet, and the oleophobic membrane is supported by the second support sheet. This reduces the risk of the waterproof and oleophobic membranes being punctured due to deformation caused by excessive water pressure, resulting in a better working environment for each membrane (including the waterproof and oleophobic membranes). This allows the waterproof component to work in deeper water pressure environments, resulting in better long-term reliability.

[0088] Sixthly, this application provides an electronic device including a housing and a waterproof component as described in any of the above implementations, the waterproof component being disposed on the housing.

[0089] In the electronic device provided in this application, the waterproof component can be installed on the housing of the electronic device, such as a wearable device or eyeglasses. Utilizing a waterproof component that combines an oleophobic membrane and a waterproof membrane improves the long-term reliability of the waterproof component. Attached Figure Description

[0124] The watch body 200 can be round, rectangular, or other shapes. The watch body 200 may include a watch case 210 and a display screen 220. The watch case 210 may include a middle frame and a back cover.

[0125] The casing 210 and the display screen 220 enclose a receiving space. For example, as shown in FIG2, the receiving space can be used to accommodate various functional modules and electronic components of the wearable device 100, including but not limited to: processor 110, microphone 120, speaker 130, antenna 140, sensor 150, battery 160 and battery management module 170, memory 180 and barometer 190, etc.

[0126] Among them, microphone 120, speaker 130, antenna 140, sensor 150, battery 160, battery management module 170, memory 180, and barometer 190 are all electrically connected to processor 110.

[0127] The watch strap 300 may include a strap body and a connecting structure. Exemplarily, the strap body may include a first strap body and a second strap body. The material of the strap body may include, but is not limited to, metal, leather, rubber, ceramic, and nylon. The connecting structure can be used to connect the first strap body and the second strap body.

[0128] The connecting structure may include a buckle. The buckle may include a pin connected to the first strap body and a plurality of eyelets spaced apart along the length of the second strap body. The pin can be fixed to the eyelets, connecting the first and second strap bodies. It is understood that by adjusting the fixing of the pin to the eyelets at different positions, the tightness of the watch strap 300 can also be adjusted.

[0129] The connecting structure may include a butterfly clasp. The two ends of the butterfly clasp can be connected to a first strap body and a second strap body, respectively. When the butterfly clasp is folded and fastened, the first and second strap bodies are relatively close together to fit snugly against the user's wrist or other wearing area, securing the watch around the wrist; when the butterfly clasp is unfolded, the first and second strap bodies are relatively far apart, making it easier to remove the watch from the wrist.

[0130] The connection structure may include a magnetic clasp. For example, the magnetic clasp may include two magnetic tabs respectively disposed on a first strap body and a second strap body, the two magnetic tabs attracting each other to connect the first strap body and the second strap body. It is understood that by adjusting the position of the magnetic tabs, the tightness of the watch strap can also be adjusted.

[0131] The connection structure may include Velcro. For example, Velcro may be respectively disposed on a first strap body and a second strap body, and the two Velcro straps are glued together to connect the first strap body and the second strap body. It is understood that the tightness of the watch strap can be adjusted by adjusting the position of the Velcro straps.

[0132] In one example, for instance, microphone 120 needs to receive sound from outside the wearable device, so a microphone hole needs to be opened on the mid-frame; another example is that it is necessary to maintain the pressure difference between the inside and outside of the wearable device, so a pressure equalization hole can be opened on the mid-frame; yet another example is, as shown in Figure 2, since a barometer 190 is set inside the mid-frame, a barometer hole needs to be opened on the mid-frame.

[0133] To prevent external water from entering the wearable device through the holes described in the examples above, and to prevent water from damaging the electronic components inside the frame, some feasible designs may incorporate waterproof components within these holes. These waterproof components serve a waterproofing function. Air can also enter the frame through vents in the waterproof components, and air inside the frame can also circulate to the outside through vents in the waterproof components.

[0134] In some wearable devices, at high water depths (e.g., over 100 meters), the waterproof components may burst due to the high water pressure, damaging the wearable device.

[0135] To meet the needs of users in various environments, such as deep water and high-pressure environments, this application provides some wearable devices with waterproof functions.

[0136] As shown in Figures 3 and 4, Figure 3 is an exploded view of a wearable device according to an embodiment of this application, and Figure 4 is another perspective view of Figure 3.

[0137] In addition to the mid-frame 211 and the waterproof component 2, the wearable device may also include a sealing component 1, which can seal the waterproof component 2 and prevent external water from passing through the waterproof component 2 and entering the mid-frame 211.

[0138] In the examples in Figures 3 and 4, the XY plane is a plane perpendicular to the Z direction of the wearable device's thickness. That is, the Z direction can be understood as being parallel to the thickness direction of the display screen, and the XY plane is parallel to the plane on which the display screen is located.

[0139] Figures 5 and 6 are cross-sectional views of the wearable device provided in this application. Figure 5 shows the structure when the sealing component 1 does not seal the waterproof component 2, and Figure 6 shows the structure when the sealing component 1 seals the waterproof component 2.

[0140] As shown in Figures 5 and 6, the middle frame 211 has a hole 1011 communicating with the internal space of the middle frame 211. The sealing member 1 is disposed on the middle frame 211 and can move along the extension direction of the hole 1011. That is, the sealing member 1 is slidably connected to the middle frame 211 and can move along the axial direction (extension direction) of the hole 1011.

[0141] Waterproof component 2 is installed on the middle frame 211. Waterproof component 2 is located on the side of the sealing component 1 facing the interior space of the middle frame 211, and waterproof component 2 is connected to the interior space of the middle frame 211. It can be understood that waterproof component 2 is closer to the interior of the middle frame 211 than sealing component 1.

[0142] Since the sealing element 1 can move along the hole 1011, when the sealing element 1 moves along the hole 1011 toward the waterproof element 2, the sealing element 1 can seal the waterproof element 2.

[0143] In some examples, as shown in Figures 5 and 6, the sealing element 1 and the waterproof element 2 can be arranged along the X direction, and the sealing element 1 can move towards the waterproof element 2 along the X direction, thereby sealing the waterproof element 2. For example, the extension direction of the hole 1011 is parallel to the X direction, so that the sealing element 1 can move towards the waterproof element 2 along the X direction.

[0144] The principle of waterproofing by combining the sealing component 1 and the waterproof component 2 is shown in Figures 5 and 6.

[0145] When the wearable device is submerged, for example in shallow water, the water pressure is less than or equal to the internal pressure of the middle frame 211. The sealing component 1 remains basically stationary, and the waterproof performance of the waterproof component 2 can prevent water from entering the wearable device. As the submersion deepens, the water pressure increases. Since the hole (e.g., hole 1011) for the sealing component 1 to move is connected to the inside of the middle frame 211, a pressure difference will be formed between the water pressure and the internal pressure of the middle frame 211. The water pressure will gradually overcome the internal pressure of the middle frame, the friction between the sealing component and the middle frame, and other forces. Thus, as shown in Figure 6, the sealing component 1 will move along the hole 1011 towards the waterproof component 2 under the action of the water pressure F. As the water pressure gradually increases, the sealing component 1 moves continuously along the hole until it moves to seal the waterproof component 2, thereby preventing water from passing through the waterproof component 2 and entering the wearable device.

[0146] The sealing component 1 provided in this application is an automatic mechanical sealing device. It utilizes the pressure difference between external water pressure and the internal pressure of the wearable device to cause the sealing component 1 to move automatically under the action of the pressure difference, thereby sealing the waterproof component 2. During the process of the sealing component 1 moving towards and sealing the waterproof component 2, no user operation is required, which can improve the safety factor for users after entering the water and enhance the user experience.

[0147] In addition, as the diving depth gradually increases, the water pressure gradually increases, and the movement of the sealing component 1 along the hole is continuous, allowing it to gradually approach the waterproof component 2. Furthermore, as the diving depth increases, the water pressure increases, and the sealing component 1 presses the waterproof component 2 more tightly, resulting in a better sealing effect. For example, this wearable device can be used in deep water (e.g., at depths of over 200 meters), improving the performance of the wearable device.

[0148] As shown in Figure 5, in a non-diving environment, the sealing component 1 of the wearable device is far away from the waterproof component 2 and does not seal the waterproof component 2. In this way, the inside of the middle frame is connected to the outside, which can realize the diffusion of sound and the balance of internal and external pressure.

[0149] When the external water pressure decreases, the sealing component 1 can move away from the waterproof component 2 and return to its initial position.

[0150] As shown in Figures 6 and 7, Figure 7 shows a partial exploded view of the wearable device of the present application example. The wearable device may also include an elastic element 3, which provides an elastic force f to the sealing element 1 in a direction away from the waterproof element 2.

[0151] In the example shown in Figure 7, the sealing element 1 can be made of a rigid material, such as metal. The elastic force of the elastic element 3 causes the rigid sealing element 1 to move away from the waterproof element 2. The rigid sealing element 1 can improve mechanical strength and also improve movement stability.

[0152] In another example, the sealing element 1 can be made of an elastic material. The elastic element 3 and the elastic sealing element 1 work together to move the sealing element 1 away from the waterproof element 2. As shown in Figure 6, when the external water pressure gradually increases, the elastic element 3 deforms under the higher external water pressure F, accumulating a rebound force that moves away from the waterproof element 2. When the external water pressure gradually decreases, the sealing element 1 moves away from the waterproof element 2 under the rebound force of the elastic element 3 until it reaches the state shown in Figure 6, creating a gap between the sealing element 1 and the waterproof element 2.

[0153] As shown in Figures 5 and 6, the sealing element 1 can move between a first position and a second position along the extension direction (e.g., the X direction) of the hole 1011, with the first position being closer to the waterproof element 2 than the second position.

[0154] As shown in Figure 6, when the sealing component 1 moves to the first position, the sealing component 1 seals the waterproof component 2, preventing external water from entering the interior of the middle frame 211 through the waterproof component 2.

[0155] As shown in Figure 5, when the sealing component 1 moves to the second position, there is a gap between the surface of the sealing component 1 facing the waterproof component 2 and the waterproof component 2, so that the waterproof component 2 connects the inside and outside of the middle frame to achieve breathability. In addition, the waterproof component 2 can also achieve waterproof performance, for example, in shallow water (such as below 100 meters).

[0156] The elastic element 3 is used to provide elastic force to the sealing element 1 as it moves from the first position to the second position (from Figure 6 to Figure 5). When the sealing element 1 moves from the first position to the second position, it moves away from the waterproof element 2.

[0157] In this application example, the direction from the first position to the second position can be perpendicular to the surface of the waterproof component 2. For example, the direction from the first position to the second position can be parallel to the X direction.

[0158] The sealing element 1 provided in this application has a variety of possible structures. For example, Figure 8 shows an example of one possible implementation of the sealing element 1.

[0159] As shown in Figure 8, in this example, the sealing component 1 includes a pressure plate 11, which can be used to contact external water and sense external water pressure. The sealing component 1 also includes at least one slide rod 12, each slide rod 12 being connected to the pressure plate 11, and the slide rod 12 being located on the side of the pressure plate 11 facing the inside of the surface body.

[0160] In some examples, multiple slide bars 12 may be included; for example, multiple slide bars 12 may be located on the sides of the waterproof component 2. Figure 8 illustrates an example including two slide bars 12 located on both sides of the waterproof component 2.

[0161] The slide rod 12 is set inside the hole 1011, and the slide rod 12 slides in fit with the hole 1011. The hole 1011 can not only connect the inside and outside of the watch body, but also guide the movement of the slide rod 12. For example, the slide rod 12 moves along the X direction inside the hole 1011, making the linear movement of the slide rod 12 more accurate.

[0162] In the example shown in Figure 8, two slide rods 12 are connected to the same side of the pressure plate 11, and each slide rod 12 corresponds to a hole 1011. In this way, the pressure plate 11 and the slide rods 12 connected together can slide along the extension direction of the hole 1011 under the action of force.

[0163] Multiple sliding rods 12 slide along the corresponding holes 1011. External water pressure acts on the pressure plate 11. The multiple sliding rods 12 sliding along the holes can make the movement of the entire sealing component 1 more stable and balance the movement of the sealing component.

[0164] In some examples, the pressure plate 11 and the slide rod 12 can be integrally molded structural components, for example, they can be made by injection molding; or, the pressure plate 11 and the slide rod 12 are two independent structural components connected by a connecting structure, for example, the pressure plate 11 and the slide rod 12 can be connected by bolts or adhesive.

[0165] The pressure plate 11 and the slide rod 12 can be made of rigid materials. The materials of the pressure plate 11 and the slide rod 12 can be the same or different. For example, the pressure plate 11 and the slide rod 12 can be metal parts.

[0166] According to the formula pressure = pressure intensity * area, the larger the cross-sectional area of ​​the slide rod 12, the smaller the water pressure required. This allows the wearable device to be pushed in shallow water, enabling the sealing component 1 to seal the waterproof component 2. For example, when the cross-sectional area of ​​the slide rod 12 is large, such as in water depths greater than or equal to 50 meters, the water pressure can overcome the internal pressure of the middle frame, the friction between the sealing component and the middle frame, and the rebound force of the elastic component, causing the sealing component 1 to gradually move towards the waterproof component 2.

[0167] In this application example, the cross-sectional area of ​​the slide bar 12 can be understood as the area of ​​the plane perpendicular to the extension direction of the slide bar 12. For example, if the slide bar 12 extends along the X direction, the cross-sectional area of ​​the slide bar 12 can be understood as the area of ​​the YZ plane perpendicular to the X direction.

[0168] In Figure 8, the cross-section of the slide bar 12 can be circular, and the cross-section of the hole 1011 for sliding the slide bar 12 can also be circular. In other examples, the cross-section of the slide bar 12 can be rectangular, and the cross-section of the hole 1011 for sliding the slide bar 12 can also be rectangular. In other examples, the cross-section of the slide bar 12 can also be other shapes, and this application does not impose any special limitations on the shape of the cross-section of the slide bar 12.

[0169] For example, the cross-section of the slide rod 12 is circular or rectangular, and the cross-section of the hole 1011 is circular or rectangular. This can simplify the processing technology of the slide rod 12 and the hole, and also facilitate the assembly of other structural components, such as the elastic component 3 mentioned above.

[0170] As shown in Figure 8, in some examples, the sealing component 1 may also include a plug 13, which is connected to the pressure plate 11 and is located on the side of the pressure plate 11 facing the waterproof component 2. For example, when the sealing component 1 seals the waterproof component 2, the plug 13 in the sealing component 1 can be used to seal the waterproof component 2.

[0171] Among the available materials, the plug 13 can be made of an elastic material, such as rubber, forming a rubber block. The elasticity of the rubber block can enhance the bonding strength between the plug 13 and the waterproof component 2, further improving the waterproofing effect.

[0172] The pressure plate 11, slide bar 12 and plug 13 can be integrally formed structural components.

[0173] Alternatively, the pressure plate 11 and the plug 13 can be two independent structural components. For example, an installation groove can be opened on the pressure plate 11, and the plug 13 can be set in the installation groove through an adhesive layer.

[0174] The sealing component 1 can not only seal the waterproof component 2, but also other structural components to prevent high water pressure from damaging them. For example, as shown in Figure 8, a barometer 103 is installed inside the middle frame 211. The barometer 103 is arranged side by side with the waterproof component 2. The sealing component 1 can seal the barometer 103 by moving along the hole 1011.

[0175] For example, as shown in Figure 8, a barometer hole can be made on the middle frame 211, and the barometer hole is connected to the outside of the gauge body. The barometer 103 is located inside the gauge body compared to the barometer hole. When the sealing member 1 moves along the hole 1011, it can seal the barometer hole.

[0176] When the external water pressure is low, and the sealing component 1 is in the unsealed waterproof component 2 position, the airflow can be detected by the barometer 103 through the barometer hole. Furthermore, as shown in Figure 8, there is a sealing ring 104 between the barometer 103 and the middle frame 211. In this way, when the external water pressure is low, the sealing ring 104 can be used to prevent external water from entering the barometer 103.

[0177] When the external water pressure is high, the sealing component 1 will seal the barometer hole to prevent the high external water pressure from passing through the barometer hole and entering the barometer 103. This can protect the sealing ring 104 and the barometer 103.

[0178] In the wearable devices described above, this application provides some possible methods to improve the waterproof sealing effect of the sealing components, as shown below.

[0179] As shown in Figure 9, Figures 9 and 10 are cross-sectional views of a wearable device according to an embodiment of this application. Figure 11 shows an exploded view of the breathable plate 4 and the sealing member 1 in Figures 9 and 10, and Figure 12 is another perspective view of Figure 11. Furthermore, Figure 9 shows the structural diagram of the sealing member 1 without obstructing the breathable plate 4, and Figure 10 shows the structural diagram of the sealing member 1 with obstructing the breathable plate 4.

[0180] The wearable device illustrated in Figures 9 and 10 includes a breathable plate 4, which is disposed on the middle frame 211, as shown in Figures 11 and 12. The breathable plate 4 has at least one breathable hole 43, which is connected to the inside of the device body.

[0181] This example uses the protrusions on the vent plate 4 and the protrusions on the sealing member 1 to achieve a tighter seal. For example, as shown in Figures 9 and 10, the surface of the sealing member 1 facing the vent plate 4 has a first protrusion 14, and the vent plate 4 has a second protrusion 41. As shown in Figure 12, the vent holes 43 on the vent plate 4 are located in the area surrounded by the second protrusion 41.

[0182] In this example, the projection of the first protrusion 14 onto the vent plate 4 is located outside the boundary of the second protrusion 41. That is, the first protrusion 14 has a larger area than the second protrusion 41, and the first protrusion 14 can cover the second protrusion 41. As shown in Figure 10, when the sealing member 1 moves toward the vent plate 4, the first protrusion 14 can press against the second protrusion 41.

[0183] In some technologies, in order to improve the sealing effect, it is necessary to increase the surface roughness of the vent plate 4 so that the vent plate 4 has a higher flatness. This is because when a plane with a lower flatness comes into contact with the sealing element 1, especially when the water pressure is high, external water can easily enter the interior of the body.

[0184] However, in this application, during the movement of the sealing member 1 toward the vent plate 4, as shown in Figure 10, the first protrusion 14 can press against the second protrusion 41. By utilizing the cooperation of the first protrusion 14 and the second protrusion 41, compared with the scheme without the second protrusion 41, the contact area between the sealing member 1 and the vent plate 4 can be reduced. For example, the original surface contact can be reduced to line contact, which makes it easy to achieve sealing and improves the sealing effect.

[0185] In some possible implementations, the first protrusion 14 is elastic and the second protrusion 41 is a rigid structure; in other possible implementations, the first protrusion 14 is a rigid structure and the second protrusion 41 is elastic.

[0186] In this example, elasticity and rigidity are relative; that is, an elastic component has a larger amount of elastic deformation compared to a rigid component.

[0187] Figures 13, 14, and 15 are cross-sectional views of the wearable device in different states according to embodiments of this application. Figure 13 shows the structure when the first protrusion 14 and the second protrusion 41 are in contact at the first moment when the water pressure is F1. Figure 14 shows the structure when the first protrusion 14 and the second protrusion 41 are in contact at the second moment when the water pressure is F2 (F2 is greater than F1). Figure 15 shows the structure when the first protrusion 14 and the second protrusion 41 are in contact at the third moment when the water pressure is F3 (F3 is greater than F2). In the examples of Figures 13 to 15, the first protrusion 14 on the sealing member 1 is elastic.

[0188] Under external water pressure, the sealing component 1 moves towards the vent plate 4, as shown in Figure 13. When the water pressure is F1, the first protrusion 14 on the sealing component 1 contacts the second protrusion 41 on the vent plate 4, and the sealing component 1 blocks the vent. As the diving depth increases, the external water pressure increases. From Figure 13 to Figure 14, the sealing component 1 continues to move towards the vent plate 4. In this way, the first protrusion 14 on the sealing component 1 is squeezed and deformed. As the water pressure continues to increase, as shown in Figure 15, the deformed first protrusion 14 not only presses against the second protrusion 41, but also presses against other areas of the vent plate 4. For example, in Figure 15, the solid black circle area indicates that the first protrusion 14 is pressed against the second protrusion 41, and the dashed black circle area indicates that the first protrusion 14 is pressed against other areas of the vent plate 4.

[0189] As shown in Figure 15, under external water pressure, the first protrusion 14 of the sealing component 1 not only contacts the second protrusion 41 but also other areas of the vent plate 4. For example, it can be understood that, in Figure 12, the vent plate 4 also includes a contact area 42 located around the second protrusion 41; when the sealing component 1 moves toward the vent plate 4, the first protrusion 14 can press against the contact area 42. In this way, the sealing effect can be further improved, preventing external water from entering the interior of the body.

[0190] Figure 12 shows the approximate location of the contact area 42, which is the area between the two dashed circles.

[0191] In some examples, the second protrusion 41 and the peripheral contact area 42 may be an integral structural component; in other examples, the second protrusion 41 and the peripheral contact area 42 may be two separate structural components connected by a connecting structure.

[0192] To improve the reliability of the breathable plate 4, the breathable plate 4 can be a metal plate, for example, the breathable plate 4 can be a steel plate.

[0193] As shown in Figures 9 and 10, in this example, the middle frame 211 can be a plastic middle frame, and the ventilated plate 4 can be a metal plate. The ventilated plate 4 is connected to the middle frame 211 by an adhesive layer 5. For example, a mounting groove can be opened on the middle frame 211, and the ventilated plate 4 is bonded to the mounting groove by the adhesive layer 5.

[0194] Figure 16 is a structural diagram of another wearable device according to an embodiment of this application, which illustrates another implementation of the second protrusion 41.

[0195] As shown in Figure 16, in this example, the middle frame 211 is a metal middle frame, and the second protrusion 41 is formed on the metal middle frame 211. It can be understood that the second protrusion 41 and the metal middle frame are integrally formed structural parts.

[0196] In this way, the contact area 42 that contacts the first protrusion 14 can be located on the middle frame 211.

[0197] In some examples, such as Figures 9, 10, and 16, the first protrusion 14 can be formed on the plug 13. For instance, the plug 13 can be an elastic element, and the first protrusion 14 and the plug 13 are integrally formed structural components. This can improve the reliability and stability of the first protrusion 14.

[0198] As shown in Figure 17, Figure 17 illustrates one implementation of the vent holes 43 on the vent plate 4.

[0199] In this example, there can be multiple vent holes 43 on the vent plate 4. The multiple vent holes 43 are arranged at intervals and are located in the area surrounded by the second protrusion 41. That is, the second protrusion 41 surrounds the periphery of the multiple vent holes 43.

[0200] When the first protrusion 14 of the sealing member 1 is pressed onto the second protrusion 41, the multiple vent holes 43 can reduce the probability of the first protrusion 14 being sucked in, thereby reducing the risk of external water entering the equipment through the vent holes 43.

[0201] As shown in Figures 18 and 19, Figures 18 and 19 illustrate one shape of the first protrusion 14 and the second protrusion 41.

[0202] In this example, the surface of the first protrusion 14 opposite to the second protrusion 41 is a first arc surface M1 protruding towards the breathable plate 4; the distance between the first arc surface M1 and the breathable plate 4 gradually increases from the center of the first arc surface M1 towards the edge. This can be understood as follows: in Figures 18 and 19, along the direction from the center of the M1 surface towards the edge, the distance between the first arc surface M1 and the breathable plate 4 can increase from S1 to S2.

[0203] In this way, when the sealing member 1 moves toward the vent plate 4, the area near the center of the first arc surface M1 can contact the second protrusion 41 to form a sealing cavity. As the sealing member 1 continues to move, the area near the edge of the first arc surface M1 is pressed against the vent plate 4 to form another sealing cavity.

[0204] Referring to Figure 19, the surface of the second protrusion 41 opposite to the first protrusion 14 is a second arc surface M2 that protrudes toward the sealing member 1. Compared to a flat surface, the protruding second arc surface M2 makes it easier to achieve line contact between the first protrusion 14 and the second protrusion 41, which can further improve the sealing tightness and sealing effect.

[0205] Returning to Figures 9 and 16, a connecting hole 2111 can be made on the middle frame 211. This connecting hole 2111 is located on the side of the second protrusion 41 opposite to the first protrusion 14, and the connecting hole 2111 can communicate with the vent plate 4. For example, the connecting hole 2111 can be a single connecting hole 2111 as shown in Figures 9 and 16, and the connecting hole 2111 can be an air pressure balancing hole; or, for example, there can be multiple connecting holes 2111, and the multiple connecting holes can include air pressure balancing holes and microphone holes.

[0206] In some structures, when there are multiple connecting holes 2111, a second protrusion can be provided above each connecting hole, and multiple vent holes can be provided in the area enclosed by each second protrusion.

[0207] In the above example, the breathable plate 4 and the waterproof component 2 are arranged on opposite sides of the connecting hole, that is, the breathable plate 4 is arranged on the side of the connecting hole closer to the outside of the watch body, and the waterproof component 2 is arranged on the side of the connecting hole closer to the inside of the watch body.

[0208] In other examples, as shown in Figure 20, the vent plate 4 and the waterproof component 2 are positioned on one side of the connecting hole 2111, for example, on the side of the connecting hole 2111 closer to the outside of the watch body. The vent plate 4 and the waterproof component 2 can be positioned within the mounting groove, with the vent plate 4 positioned closer to the outside of the watch body than the waterproof component 2.

[0209] In wearable devices, waterproof components 2 need to have long-term stable reliability, such as being able to resist contamination from daily chemical products such as hand sanitizer, and ensuring waterproof reliability under long-term use by users. The following are some waterproof component structures to improve the performance of the structure.

[0210] As shown in Figure 21, Figure 21 is a structural diagram of a waterproof component 2 according to an embodiment of this application.

[0211] In the example of Figure 21, the waterproof component 2 includes an oleophobic membrane 21, a waterproof membrane 22, and a first support sheet 23. The first support sheet 23 has a vent 231 that communicates with the interior of the watch body. The oleophobic membrane 21, the waterproof membrane 22, and the first support sheet 23 are stacked sequentially along the direction from the outside to the inside of the watch body.

[0212] In some feasible structures, as shown in Figure 21, the oleophobic membrane 21 and the waterproof membrane 22 can be connected by an adhesive layer 241, and the waterproof membrane 22 and the first support sheet 23 can be connected by an adhesive layer 242. For example, the oleophobic membrane 21 can be connected to the waterproof membrane 22 by an adhesive layer 241 disposed at the edge of the oleophobic membrane 21, and the first support sheet 23 can be connected to the waterproof membrane 22 by an adhesive layer 242 disposed at the edge of the first support sheet 23.

[0213] Since the oleophobic membrane 21 is closer to the outside of the surface than the waterproof membrane 22, water from the outside of the surface needs to pass through the oleophobic membrane 21 first before flowing into the waterproof membrane 22. Because the oleophobic membrane 21 has the functions of oleophobic and hydrophobic and preventing oil stains from adhering, that is, the oleophobic membrane 21 can block oil stains from the outside, and the water flowing into the waterproof membrane 22 is basically free of oil stains. The waterproof membrane 22 will not be contaminated by oil stains. In this way, the chance of the waterproof membrane 22 being corroded or failing can be reduced. For example, it can prevent daily chemical products such as hand sanitizer from contaminating the waterproof membrane and improve the waterproof reliability of the waterproof membrane under long-term use.

[0214] Among the available materials, the oleophobic film 21 may be selected from at least one of polyurethane (PU), thermoplastic polyurethanes (TPU), polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), or other polymer waterproofing materials.

[0215] Among the available materials, the waterproof membrane 22 can be selected from at least one of PU, TPU, PVDF, PTFE or other polymer waterproof materials.

[0216] As shown in Figure 21, the stacked oleophobic film 21 and waterproof film 22 are arranged on the first support member 23. Since the first support member 23 has a vent hole 231, the entire waterproof component can connect the outside and inside of the watch body.

[0217] Using the first support member 23 as the load-bearing structure for the oleophobic membrane 21 and the waterproof membrane 22 can protect the oleophobic membrane 21 and the waterproof membrane 22. For example, when the external water pressure is high, the support of the first support member 23 for the oleophobic membrane 21 and the waterproof membrane 22 can prevent the impact of high water pressure on the oleophobic membrane 21 and the waterproof membrane 22, which could cause the oleophobic membrane 21 and the waterproof membrane 22 to deform or even be punctured. Therefore, the stacked structure shown in Figure 9 of this application can withstand high water pressure, thereby achieving a high level of waterproof capability.

[0218] Among the available materials, the first support member 23 can be made of metal sheet, such as steel sheet or aluminum sheet.

[0219] The diameter of the vent hole 231 on the first support member 23 can be less than or equal to 0.05 mm.

[0220] See Figure 22, which is a structural diagram of a waterproof component 2 according to an embodiment of this application.

[0221] In this example, an adhesive layer 243 can be provided on the oleophobic film 21. The adhesive layer 243 can be connected to other structures. For example, in order to protect the oleophobic film 21, the adhesive layer 243 can be connected to a protective sheet.

[0222] Continuing with Figure 22, an adhesive layer 244 can be provided on the side of the first support piece 23 that is away from the waterproof membrane 22. For example, the waterproof component 2 can be bonded to the middle frame using this adhesive layer 244.

[0223] See Figure 23, which is a structural diagram of a waterproof component 2 according to an embodiment of this application.

[0224] In order to enable the waterproof component 2 to be used in harsher environments, such as in the sea or mud, and to prevent large particles in the sea or mud from entering the waterproof component, as shown in Figure 23, the waterproof component 2 may also include a filter sheet 25, which is located on the side of the oleophobic membrane 21 opposite to the waterproof membrane 22.

[0225] In some feasible configurations, as shown in Figure 23, the filter sheet 25 can be bonded to the edge of the oleophobic membrane 21 by means of an adhesive layer 243.

[0226] When the waterproof component 2 shown in Figure 23 is used in a wearable device, water from outside the device needs to pass through the filter 25 and the oleophobic membrane 21 in sequence before flowing into the waterproof membrane 22. The filter 25 can block particulate matter from entering the device, such as filtering out large particles of mud and sand, thus protecting the waterproof membrane 22 to some extent and ensuring reliable waterproofing in extreme scenarios (such as diving at the beach or in mud).

[0227] In the different examples shown in Figures 21 to 23 above, the oleophobic membrane 21 is directly bonded to the waterproof membrane 22 using the adhesive layer 241 to form a composite membrane comprising the oleophobic membrane 21 and the waterproof membrane 22. In some processes, this composite membrane can be connected to the first support member 23 via the adhesive layer. In this way, the thickness of the formed waterproof member 2 is relatively small, and it will not occupy a large space in the thickness direction of the wearable device.

[0228] See Figure 24, which is a structural diagram of a waterproof component 2 according to an embodiment of this application.

[0229] In this example, in addition to the oleophobic membrane 21, the waterproof membrane 22, and the first support member 23, a second support member 26 may also be included, which has vent holes. The waterproof membrane 22 is bonded to the first support member 23 via an adhesive layer 242, the oleophobic membrane 21 is bonded to the second support member 26 via an adhesive layer 245, and the waterproof membrane 22 is bonded to the second support member 26 via an adhesive layer 241.

[0230] As shown in Figure 24, since the waterproof membrane 22 is supported by the first support member 23 and the oleophobic membrane 21 is supported by the second support member 26, the oleophobic membrane 21 and the waterproof membrane 22 can be further protected. This reduces the risk of the waterproof membrane 22 and the oleophobic membrane 21 being punctured due to deformation caused by excessive water pressure, making the working environment of each membrane (including the waterproof membrane and the oleophobic membrane) better. As a result, the waterproof component 2 can work in a deeper water pressure environment, resulting in better long-term reliability.

[0231] In Figure 24, an adhesive layer can be used to bond the waterproof membrane 22 to the first support member 23, and an adhesive layer can be used to bond the oleophobic membrane 21 to the second support member 26, and then the waterproof membrane 22 can be bonded to the second support member 26. That is, the oleophobic membrane 21 and the waterproof membrane 22 can be manufactured separately, which reduces the manufacturing difficulty and reduces the manufacturing cost.

[0232] See Figure 25, which is a structural diagram of a waterproof component 2 according to an embodiment of this application.

[0233] In the waterproof component 2 illustrated in Figure 25, the waterproof membrane 22 is bonded to the first support 23 via an adhesive layer 242, the oleophobic membrane 21 is bonded to the second support 26 via an adhesive layer 245, and the waterproof membrane 22 is bonded to the second support 26 via an adhesive layer 241. Additionally, a filter sheet 25 is included, which is bonded to the oleophobic membrane 21 via an adhesive layer 243.

[0234] In the wearable device of this application example, a microphone hole and a pressure equalization hole can be provided on the mid-frame to prevent water from the outside of the device from entering the inside of the device through the microphone hole and the pressure equalization hole. In some feasible structures, waterproof components can be provided at the microphone hole and the pressure equalization hole respectively.

[0235] Sound needs high sound transmission when passing through the microphone hole, and gas needs good air permeability when passing through the pressure balance hole. To ensure the sound transmission of the microphone hole and the air permeability of the pressure balance hole, this application provides some waterproof components that can be installed at the microphone hole and the pressure balance hole.

[0236] As shown in Figures 26 and 27, Figure 26 is a structural diagram of a waterproof component 2 according to an embodiment of this application, and Figure 27 is a perspective view of a waterproof component 2 according to an embodiment of this application.

[0237] Referring to Figures 26 and 27, the waterproof membrane includes a waterproof and sound-permeable membrane 221 (also known as a waterproof and sound-permeable membrane) and a waterproof and breathable membrane 222. The waterproof and breathable membrane 222 is arranged opposite to the air pressure balance hole, and the waterproof and sound-permeable membrane 221 is arranged opposite to the microphone hole.

[0238] This can be understood as follows: a waterproof and sound-permeable membrane 221 is set at the position opposite to the microphone hole, but a waterproof and breathable membrane 222 is not set; a waterproof and breathable membrane 222 is set at the position opposite to the air pressure balance hole, but a waterproof and sound-permeable membrane 221 is not set. In other words, the waterproof and sound-permeable membrane 221 and the waterproof and breathable membrane 222 are staggered in the thickness direction of the waterproof component 2.

[0239] Because the microphone hole requires good air permeability, and the air pressure balance hole requires good sound transmission, the waterproof and breathable membrane 222, which is set opposite to the air pressure balance hole, has air permeability and a large air permeability, which can ensure the air permeability performance index of the air pressure balance hole; the waterproof and sound-permeable membrane 221, which is set opposite to the microphone hole, has basically pores, good sound transmission effect, and the sound loss when the sound passes through the membrane is small, which can ensure the sound transmission performance index.

[0240] The waterproof and sound-permeable membrane 221 and the waterproof and breathable membrane 222 are staggered in the thickness direction of the waterproof component 2. This can be understood as follows: the first orthographic projection of the waterproof and sound-permeable membrane 221 on the reference plane and the second orthographic projection of the waterproof and breathable membrane 222 on the reference plane have a non-overlapping area. This reference plane is perpendicular to the thickness direction of the waterproof component 2.

[0241] Continuing with Figures 22 and 23, a waterproof and sound-permeable membrane 221 is not installed at the position opposite to the air pressure balance hole because the waterproof and sound-permeable membrane 221 is basically porous and has poor air permeability. If the waterproof and sound-permeable membrane 221 is installed at the position opposite to the air pressure balance hole, it will seriously affect the air permeability.

[0242] As shown in Figures 26 and 27, a waterproof and breathable membrane 222 is not installed at the position opposite to the microphone hole because the waterproof and breathable membrane 222 has vents, resulting in greater sound loss. If a waterproof and breathable membrane 222 is installed at the position opposite to the microphone hole, it will increase the sound propagation loss.

[0243] In some optional processes, a waterproof and sound-permeable membrane 221 can be used, with a hole cut out at the position opposite to the air pressure balance hole, while retaining the part opposite to the microphone hole.

[0244] In some optional processes, a waterproof and breathable membrane 222 can be used, with a hole cut out at the position opposite the microphone hole, while retaining the part opposite the air pressure balance hole.

[0245] To further reduce sound loss, as shown in Figures 26 and 27, the waterproof acoustic membrane 221 is positioned closer to the first support plate 23 than the waterproof breathable membrane 222. That is, the waterproof acoustic membrane 221 is closer to the interior of the casing and closer to the microphone device located inside the casing than the waterproof breathable membrane 222. Because the waterproof acoustic membrane 221 is closer to the microphone device, this reduces sound loss between the microphone device and the waterproof acoustic membrane 221, improving the sound propagation effect of the microphone device.

[0246] Among the available materials, the waterproof and sound-permeable membrane 221 can be selected from at least one of PU, TPU, PVDF, PTFE or other polymer waterproof materials.

[0247] Among the available materials, the waterproof and breathable membrane 222 can be selected from at least one of PU, TPU, PVDF, PTFE or other polymer waterproof materials.

[0248] Continuing with Figures 26 and 27, an oleophobic film 21 is present at the positions opposite the pressure balance hole and the microphone hole. That is, the oleophobic film 21 covers the pressure balance hole and the microphone hole.

[0249] As shown in Figure 26, the waterproof and sound-permeable membrane 221 is bonded to the first support member 23 through the adhesive layer 241, the waterproof and breathable membrane 222 is bonded to the waterproof and sound-permeable membrane 221 through the adhesive layer 246, and the oleophobic membrane 21 is bonded to the waterproof and sound-permeable membrane 221 through the adhesive layer 242.

[0250] Figure 28 is a structural diagram of a waterproof component 2 according to an embodiment of this application.

[0251] In the example of waterproof component 2, the waterproof membrane includes a waterproof and sound-permeable membrane 221 and a waterproof and breathable membrane 222 stacked together, and may also include a filter sheet 25, which is bonded to the oleophobic membrane 21 by an adhesive layer 243.

[0252] Figure 29 is a structural diagram of a waterproof component 2 according to an embodiment of this application.

[0253] In the example of the waterproof component 2, the waterproof membrane includes a waterproof and sound-permeable membrane 221 and a waterproof and breathable membrane 222 stacked together, and may also include a first support 23 and a second support 26. The stacked waterproof and sound-permeable membrane 221 and waterproof and breathable membrane 222 are bonded to the first support 23 by an adhesive layer, and the oleophobic membrane 21 is bonded to the second support 26 by an adhesive layer.

[0254] In addition, based on the example in Figure 29, a filter sheet 25 may also be included, which is bonded to the oleophobic membrane 21 by an adhesive layer.

[0255] In the above example, a waterproof and sound-permeable membrane 221 is provided at the position opposite to the microphone hole, but a waterproof and breathable membrane 222 is not provided; a waterproof and breathable membrane 222 is provided at the position opposite to the air pressure balance hole, but a waterproof and sound-permeable membrane 221 is not provided. In other examples, the air pressure balance hole can be another first connecting hole with higher air permeability, or the microphone hole can be another second connecting hole with higher sound transmission.

[0256] The waterproof component of this application example can be provided in the wearable device having the first protrusion and the second protrusion, for example, it can be provided in the example of Figure 9, Figure 16 or Figure 19.

[0257] As shown in Figure 30, in this example, the waterproof component 2, the first protrusion 14, and the breathable plate 4 with the second protrusion 41 described above can be used. Since the waterproof component 2 is located close to the interior of the body, in order to fix the waterproof component 2, a pressure plate 1071 and a connecting structure 1072 can be included. For example, a mounting groove can be opened on the middle frame 211, the waterproof component 2 is placed in the mounting groove, the pressure plate 1071 is placed on one side of the waterproof component 2, the pressure plate 1071 is fixedly connected to the middle frame 211 through the connecting structure 1072, and the pressure plate 1071 is connected to the waterproof component 2 through the adhesive layer 5.

[0258] To further enhance the waterproofing effect, for example, as shown in Figure 30, another waterproof membrane 6 can be provided on the side of the pressure plate away from the waterproof component, and a vent hole connecting the waterproof component 2 and the other waterproof membrane 6 can be opened on the pressure plate 1071.

[0259] The waterproof component 2 of this application example can be installed in a wearable device having a first protrusion and a second protrusion, and can also be installed in other wearable devices. For example, some installation methods of the waterproof component 2 on the watch body are given below.

[0260] Figure 31 is a cross-sectional view of a wearable device according to an example of this application, showing one way in which the waterproof component 2 is installed.

[0261] In the example of Figure 31, the middle frame 211 has an installation groove on the side facing the sealing member 1, and the waterproof member 2 is installed in the installation groove; the middle frame 211 also has a connecting hole communicating with the waterproof member 2. The connecting hole is located on the side of the waterproof member 2 away from the sealing member 1. The connecting hole includes at least one of an air pressure balance hole or a microphone hole. For example, in Figure 31, the connecting hole includes an air pressure balance hole and a microphone hole, which are arranged side by side. The microphone device 102 is located on the side of the microphone hole away from the waterproof member 2, and the microphone hole connects the waterproof member 2 and the microphone device 102.

[0262] In the example shown in Figure 31, the waterproof component 2 is placed inside the mounting groove. Thus, under the pressure difference between the external water pressure and the internal pressure of the wearable device, when the plug 13 of the sealing component 1 moves towards the waterproof component 2, the greater the pressure difference, the greater the squeezing force of the plug 13 on the waterproof component 2, resulting in better waterproofing. In other words, water pressure can be used to fix the waterproof component 2 to the middle frame 211, eliminating the need for other fixing structures to connect the waterproof component 2 and the middle frame 211. This simplifies the structure and improves the space utilization of the wearable device.

[0263] In addition, the waterproof component 2 is set near the outside of the middle frame 211, so that the internal space is small.

[0264] Figure 32 is a cross-sectional view of a wearable device according to an example of this application. Figure 32 shows another way of setting up the waterproof component 2.

[0265] In this example, a connecting hole is provided on the side of the middle frame 211 facing the sealing member 1. For example, in Figure 32, the connecting hole includes a pressure balance hole and a microphone hole arranged side by side. A mounting groove is also provided on the middle frame 211. The mounting groove is located on the side of the connecting hole away from the sealing member. The waterproof member 2 is located in the mounting groove. The waterproof member 2 communicates with the connecting hole and is connected to the middle frame 211 through a connecting structure.

[0266] As shown in Figure 32, when the plug 13 seals the waterproof component 2, the plug 13 contacts the M-side of Figure 32. Since the waterproof component 2 is positioned close to the interior of the middle frame, and the pressure balance hole and microphone hole are positioned close to the exterior of the middle frame, the projection of the connecting hole onto the waterproof component 2 lies within the boundary of the waterproof component 2. This can be understood as the sum of the radial dimensions of the pressure balance hole and the microphone hole being less than the surface dimension of the waterproof component 2. Therefore, the sealing contact area between the plug 13 and the middle frame 211 is larger. For example, the bolded black portion in Figure 32 represents the sealing contact position between the plug 13 and the middle frame 211, improving the sealing and waterproofing effect.

[0267] In the example of Figure 32, a connecting structure is required to fix the waterproof component 2 to the middle frame 211, as shown in Figure 33. Figure 33 illustrates a connecting structure 107.

[0268] In this example, the connection structure 107 may include a pressure plate 1071 and a fastener 1072. The pressure plate 1071 is disposed on one side of the waterproof component 2, and the fastener 1072 extends through the pressure plate 1071 into the middle frame 211.

[0269] In some structures, in order to increase the cross-sectional area of ​​the slide bar 12, as shown in Figure 32, an inlay space 109 can be provided inside the slide bar 12, and the elastic element 3 can be placed inside the inlay space 109.

[0270] To improve the stability of the elastic element 3, as shown in Figure 33, a guide post 108 extending into the inlay space 121 can be provided on the middle frame 211, and the elastic element 3 can be fitted onto the guide post 108. In this way, when the slider 12 slides relative to the middle frame 211, the elastic element 3 can deform along a straight line.

[0271] Since the hole 1011 for setting the slide bar 12 needs to be connected to the inside of the middle frame, a smaller hole can be made near the guide post 108, and the smaller hole is connected to the hole 1011 for setting the slide bar.

[0272] To make full use of the space, as shown in Figure 33, the fastener 1072 can extend through the pressure plate 1071 into the guide post 108, thereby fixing the waterproof component 2 to the middle frame.

[0273] For example, fastener 1072 can be a threaded connection, such as a bolt or screw.

[0274] As shown in Figures 31, 32 and 33, the wearable device also includes a decorative panel 105, on which an installation cavity 1051 is formed, and at least a portion of the sealing member 1 is slidably disposed within the installation cavity 1051; the decorative panel 105 is provided with a through hole for communicating with the interior of the watch body.

[0275] There are multiple ways to connect the decorative panel 105 to the middle frame 211.

[0276] As shown in Figure 31, the decorative panel 105 can be fixedly connected to the middle frame 211 by threaded fasteners 106. In some examples, one side of the decorative panel 105 is fixedly connected to the middle frame 211 by threaded fasteners 106, and the opposite side can also be fixedly connected to the middle frame 211 by threaded fasteners 106.

[0277] As shown in Figures 32 and 33, the decorative panel 105 can be fixedly connected to the middle frame 211 by threaded fasteners 106 and snap-fit ​​structures 109. In some examples, one side of the decorative panel 105 is fixedly connected to the middle frame 211 by snap-fit ​​structure 109, while the opposite side can be fixedly connected to the middle frame 211 by threaded fasteners 106.

[0278] In some examples, as shown in Figure 32, the slide bar 12 in the sealing component 1 may include a first slide bar 121 and a second slide bar 122, with the first slide bar 121 and the second slide bar 122 arranged side by side. The threaded fastener 106 may be set close to the first slide bar 121, the snap-fit ​​structure 109 may be set close to the second slide bar 122, and the waterproof component 2 is set between the first slide bar 121 and the second slide bar 122.

[0279] For example, as shown in Figure 32, the snap-fit ​​structure 109 includes a matching buckle 1091 and a slot 1092. The buckle 1091 can be provided on the decorative panel 105, and the slot 1092 can be provided on the middle frame 211. The buckle 1091 is disposed in the slot 1092.

[0280] In some feasible structures, the snap-fit ​​structure 109 occupies little space. For example, in Figures 32 and 33, the space of the wearable device in the X direction can be reduced. This allows for an increase in the cross-sectional area of ​​the slide rod 12 in the sealing component 1, resulting in a greater pressure difference at the same water depth and making it easier to achieve sealing under low water pressure.

[0281] The waterproof component 2 provided in this application embodiment can be applied in an example wearable device with a sealing component 1. In other examples, the waterproof component 2 can also be applied in a wearable device without a sealing component 1.

[0282] In other examples, the waterproof component 2 can be applied to other electronic devices, such as eyeglasses. The electronic device includes a main body and the waterproof component, which is mounted on the main body, which can be the frame or temple of the eyeglasses.

[0283] In the description of this specification, specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or examples.

[0284] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this application, but the scope of protection of this application is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, the scope of protection of this application should be determined by the scope of the claims.
