According to the wearable device of some embodiments of the present application, when the flexible part is an airbag 13, the sensor module can be set to include an air pressure sensor 3 and a processor, the air pressure sensor 3 is used to monitor the air pressure in the airbag 13, and the processor is connected to the air pressure sensor 3, It is used to obtain the activity information of joint parts according to the air pressure change in the airbag 13 and generate control signals. When the wearable device is worn and used, the airbag 13 straddles the joint, and when the joint bends, the airbag 13 will be squeezed, thereby changing the air pressure inside the airbag 13 .

This embodiment is provided with an air pressure sensor 3, which can monitor the change of air pressure inside the air bag 13. When the air pressure inside the air bag 13 changes, it means that the joints have moved. Therefore, the change of air pressure in the air bag 13 can reflect the activity information of the joints. , and then generate a control signal according to the activity information of the joint. The control signal is an electrical signal, and the processor can generate an electrical signal and send it to the smart device that needs to be controlled, so as to realize the control of the smart device.

According to the wearable device of some embodiments of the present application, the air pressure sensor 3 is disposed at least one of between the first body 11 and the airbag 13 , between the second body 12 and the airbag 13 , and inside the airbag 13 . The air pressure sensor 3 can be arranged at the connection between the first body 11 and the air bag 13 , and when the air pressure in the air bag 13 changes, the air pressure sensor 3 can be squeezed so that the air pressure sensor 3 can monitor the air pressure in the air bag 13 .

The specific location and quantity of the air pressure sensor 3 are not limited, for the purpose of being able to monitor the air pressure value in the airbag 13 .

According to the wearable device of some embodiments of the present application, the processor is used to obtain the degree of curvature of the joint according to the range of air pressure change in the airbag 13, and generate a control signal; The bending speed of the part and generate a control signal. The range of change in air pressure is the amount of change in air pressure at intervals of a preset time. The air pressure sensor 3 can continuously monitor the air pressure in the airbag 13 at a certain frequency, and send the continuous air pressure values obtained through monitoring to the processor. The processor can calculate and obtain the air pressure change according to the preset time interval, that is, the air pressure change range. When the detected air pressure change range is greater than the first preset range value, it can be judged that a bending activity has occurred at the joint; and according to the specific value of the air pressure change range Determine the degree of bending of the joint; different degrees of bending can correspond to output different control signals.

Correspondingly, the processor can also calculate and obtain the air pressure change speed in the air bag 13 according to the continuous air pressure value inside the air bag 13 monitored by the air pressure sensor 3; it can also judge the bending speed of the joint according to the air pressure change speed; different bending The speed can correspond to output different control signals. The processor can only judge and generate the control signal according to the air pressure change range in the air bag 13; it can also judge and generate the control signal only according to the air pressure change speed in the air bag 13; To judge and generate a variety of control signals.

Specifically, for example, when the air pressure change value is very large, that is, the air pressure change range is very large, a second preset amplitude value can be set, and when the air pressure change range is greater than or equal to the second preset amplitude value, it can be judged that the finger 2 is bent very much. High; when the air pressure change range is greater than or equal to the first preset range value and smaller than the second preset range value, it can be determined that the bending degree of the finger 2 is small; the second preset range value is greater than the first preset range value. When the air pressure changes rapidly, that is, the air pressure change speed is relatively large, a preset speed value can be set. When the air pressure change speed is greater than or equal to the preset speed value, it can be judged that the finger 2 is bending rapidly; when the air pressure change speed is lower than the preset speed value, It can be judged that the finger 2 is slowly bending.

Therefore, at least two information parameters can be captured, and each information parameter has two states: A1: rapid air pressure change, representing the rapid bending of finger 2; A2: slow air pressure change, representing slow bending of finger 2; B1: large air pressure B2: a small air pressure change, representing a small bending of finger 2. Combining the above parameters can generate 4 kinds of control signals: A1B1, A1B2, A2B1, A2B2. A variety of control signals can correspond to a variety of operation controls, enabling the wearable device to send a variety of operation control commands to other smart devices.

Further, the processor is also configured to generate a power-on signal when the air pressure in the airbag 13 rises to a first preset value; and generate a power-off signal when the air pressure in the airbag 13 drops to a second preset value. That is, the air pressure in the airbag 13 can be detected, so as to determine whether the airbag 13 has completed the stretching action. When the air pressure in the airbag 13 is greater than or equal to the first preset value, it means that the air pressure in the airbag 13 has reached a certain level, and it can be judged that the airbag 13 has completed the stretching action. At this time, a power-on signal can be generated to control the start of the wearable device. When the air pressure in the airbag 13 is lower than the second preset value, it means that the air pressure in the airbag 13 is low, and it can be judged that the airbag 13 is in a retracted state. At this time, a shutdown signal can be generated to control the shutdown of the wearable device. Wherein the second preset value is smaller than the first preset value. This control operation can realize automatic switching on and off of the wearable device, which is beneficial to saving electric energy.

According to some further embodiments of the present application, the flexible member between the first body 11 and the second body 12 can also be an elastic band structure; the elastic band structure includes at least one elastic band, and one end of the elastic band is connected with the first body 11 , and the other end is connected with the second body 12 . Therefore, when the wearable device is used, the elastic belt structure spans the joints, because the elastic belts are arranged at intervals in the circumferential direction of the device body, so that there is room for bending and moving in the joints, so that the first body 11 can move relative to the second body 12 Bending, the joints can move flexibly.

Optionally, ropes or elastic bands are provided on opposite sides between the first body 11 and the second body 12 . Therefore, when the wearable device is worn, the ropes or elastic bands are located on both sides of the joint, which will not affect the bending movement of the joint. The specific number and positions of the ropes or elastic bands are not limited, and the purpose is to realize the flexible activities of the joints.

According to other embodiments of the present application, the flexible member between the first body 11 and the second body 12 can also be a flexible cloth structure, for example, it can be a woven cloth, similar to a woolen glove; The joint parts fit well, and can bend with the bending of the joint parts, with a high degree of comfort. The flexible cloth can be arranged between the first body 11 and the second body 12 in a ring shape, and can also be a cloth strip structure, and a plurality of cloth strips are arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction between the first body 11 and the second body 12, specifically No limit.

Further, a power source and a circuit board structure may be provided inside the first body 11 and/or the second body 12 as required. Other components of the wearable device according to the embodiment of the present application, such as power supply, circuit, etc., and operations are known to those skilled in the art, and will not be described in detail here.

According to some embodiments of the present application, most of the extension mechanisms based on the current finger ring are rigid, making it difficult for the finger cot to follow the movement of the finger 2 when the finger 2 is bent, or can only rely on the elastic deformation of the rigid mechanism to produce a certain Deformation, but such deformation is very limited, making the ring very uncomfortable during use; in addition, the front and rear ends of the rigid stretching mechanism ring can easily pinch finger 2 at the moment of closing, resulting in a bad experience.

This embodiment provides a finger ring according to the present application. The ring includes a first body 11 , a second body 12 and a flexible telescopic mechanism connected between the first body 11 and the second body 12 . After the finger ring is stretched, it still has flexibility and can be bent following the bending of the finger 2, thereby improving user experience. Moreover, the flexible telescopic mechanism can fully occupy the gap between the front end and the rear end of the ring in the compressed state, so that the finger 2 will not be caught when the ring changes from the stretched state to the compressed state.

The device of the present application includes an upper finger ring that is a first body 11 , a lower finger ring that is a second body 12 , a micro air pump 4 , an air pressure sensor 3 and a flexible flexible air bag 13 . Upper finger ring: the upper end of the telescopic ring, which can be equipped with power supply, circuits and various sensors according to the design requirements, and cooperate with the lower finger ring or the flexible telescopic airbag 13 to obtain finger 2 activity information. Lower finger ring: the lower end of the telescopic ring, which can be equipped with power supply, circuit and various sensors according to design requirements, and cooperate with the upper finger ring or flexible telescopic airbag 13 to obtain finger 2 activity information. Meanwhile, the lower finger ring is provided with a micro-air pump 4 mounting position for installing the micro-air pump 4; The micro air pump 4 installation positions can also be arranged on the upper finger ring, which is not specifically limited. Micro air pump 4: the main function is to inflate and deflate the flexible telescopic air bag 13.

Specifically, the micro air pump 4 has the functions of inflating, pumping and maintaining pressure. In the inflation process, the air pump 4 fills the air in the environment into the flexible telescopic airbag 13 through the airflow channel of the lower finger ring, so as to realize the expansion of the airbag 13 . When maintaining the pressure, the air pump 4 needs to be sealed, so that the gas in the flexible flexible airbag 13 will not leak from the inflatable channel, so that the flexible flexible airbag 13 can maintain a stretched state. During the pumping process, the air pump 4 works in reverse to draw out the gas in the flexible flexible air bag 13, so that the flexible flexible air bag 13 returns to the compressed state. Flexible telescopic airbag 13: when inflated by the air pump 4, it can be stretched in the length direction to realize the extension of the ring as a whole, as shown in Fig. 3 and Fig. 4 . When the air pump 4 pumps air, it can return to the compressed state in the longitudinal direction, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 . When the air pump 4 maintains the pressure, it can maintain the shape and bend according to the bending of the human finger 2, as shown in FIG. 5 .

The finger ring provided in this embodiment also includes an air pressure sensor 3, which can detect the air pressure in the air bag 13, so as to determine whether the air bag 13 has completed the stretching action. At the same time, it is also possible to detect the change of the air pressure in the air bag 13, thereby judging whether the finger 2 moves. And the ring can judge the movement of the finger 2 according to information such as the speed and size of the air pressure change, and generate corresponding control instructions. The air pressure sensor 3 can be arranged on the upper finger ring, the lower finger ring or the inner wall of the air bag 13, and other positions where the air pressure change in the air bag 13 can be detected, which is not specifically limited.

Fig. 1 is the compressed state of finger ring, when needing to use finger ring, micro-air pump 4 starts to work, sucks air from micro-air pump 4 air inlets, and gas is filled in the flexible flexible air bag 13 by air channel, and flexible flexible air bag 13 is under the action of air pressure The bottom is elongated in the length direction to achieve the effect shown in Figure 3. At this time, the micro-air pump 4 needs to close the air inlet to achieve a sealed state, so that the finger ring maintains air pressure to maintain the elongated state. When the miniature air pump 4 works in reverse, that is, when deflation, the finger ring can return to the contracted state of Fig. 1 from the elongated state of Fig. 3 .

Further, when the finger ring is in the stretched state shown in FIG. 3 , and the finger ring is worn on the finger 2 , since the flexible flexible airbag 13 is flexible, it can bend along with the bending of the finger 2 , as shown in FIG. 5 . At this time, if relevant sensors are arranged in the upper or lower ring or the expandable airbag 13 to capture changes in the overall shape of the ring, relevant control instructions can be generated to control some smart devices.

Specifically, the shell of the airbag 13 can be made of ductile and soft silicone, rubber, latex or polymer material, such as balloon material latex material, which can be blown up and other materials with the same characteristics and meeting requirements. When the shell of the airbag 13 is arranged in a folded shape, the airbag 13 can also be made of materials such as plastics. The first body 11 and the second body 12 can be materials such as metal, plastic, etc., which are not specifically limited. With reference to Fig. 2, the vertical section of the airbag 13, the shape needs to be made into folds, the flexible material used for the airbag 13, such as latex, itself will have a certain ability to expand and elongate, and this structural design can better make the airbag 13 in the length Direction elongation, rather than relying solely on the properties of the material itself, and such a structural design can also make the air pressure in the airbag 13 smaller, so that a smaller air pump 4 can be used. Figure 4 shows the shape of the folds after stretching.
