In the related art, the ring shell of the conventional intelligent ring is usually made of a metal material and is limited by the hardness of the metal material, so that the ring shell has various defects, wherein at least three defects exist: firstly, the appearance surface of the ring shell is a metal surface, and the wear resistance and the corrosion resistance of the metal surface are poor; secondly, the finger ring shell made of metal materials has high thermal conductivity, and the intelligent finger ring is easy to generate cold feeling when contacting with the skin of a user when being worn in winter, so that the comfort is poor; the density of the metal material is large, so that the weight of the finger ring shell is heavy, and the finger of the intelligent finger ring is easy to feel heavy after the intelligent finger ring is worn for a period of time.

In view of the above, the present invention provides an embodiment of a smart ring 100, which is intended to improve the structure of the ring case 110 of the smart ring 100 and the material thereof, so as to overcome at least one of the above-mentioned disadvantages of the conventional smart ring 100. See the following description for details.

Referring to fig. 1 to 3, in an embodiment of the smart ring 100 of the present invention, the smart ring 100 includes a ring case 110 and a ring cover 120; wherein, the ring case 110 is annularly arranged and has a wearing hole 101 formed at the inner side thereof, the ring case 110 includes an outer case 111 and an inner case 112 arranged at the inner circumferential surface of the outer case 111 for mounting the electronic component 130; the finger ring cover 120 is disposed on the inner periphery of the inner housing 112 for covering the electronic component 130. For the finger ring casing 110, the outer casing 111 of the finger ring casing 110 is made of ceramic material; inner housing 112 of ring housing 110 is made of a plastic material.

Specifically, the ring case 110 and the ring cover 120 of the smart ring 100 are both annularly disposed. The finger ring shell 110 is used for mounting the electronic component 130 of the smart ring 100; after the electronic component 130 is installed in the finger ring case 110, the finger ring cover 120 is covered on the inner circumference of the finger ring case 110 to cover the electronic component 130 and its connection circuit on the finger ring case 110.

In the case of the finger ring 110, the outer shell 111 and the inner shell 112 of the finger ring 110 are stacked in the radial direction of the wearing hole 101, so that the finger ring 110 forms a composite structure formed by compounding the outer shell 111 and the inner shell 112. Wherein, the outer casing 111 of the finger ring casing 110 forms the whole appearance surface of the finger ring casing 110, and since the outer casing 111 is made of ceramic material, the ceramic material itself has better strength, so that the outer casing 111 has better wear resistance and corrosion resistance, and the intelligent finger ring 100 can have at least two effects: firstly, the ring shell 110 has better wear resistance and corrosion resistance, and is not easy to be worn or corroded; secondly, the surface of the ring shell 110 is relatively warm and smooth, and when contacting the skin of the user, the user feels cool in summer and warm in winter, so that the comfort is excellent.

It should be noted that if the finger ring case 110 includes only the outer casing 111, that is, the finger ring case 110 is a single-layer structure made of a ceramic material, the strength of the finger ring case 110 is high, and the difficulty of providing the component cavities for mounting the electronic components 130 on the inner circumferential surface of the finger ring case 110 is high because the diameter of the inner circumferential surface of the finger ring case 110 is small. In view of this, the smart ring 100 of the present invention has a ring housing 110 formed as a composite structure formed by combining an outer housing 111 and an inner housing 112, wherein the outer housing 111 is made of a ceramic material, and the inner housing 112 is made of a plastic material.

With this arrangement, the overall appearance surface of the finger ring case 110 is formed by the outer case 111, so as to obtain the above two effects; the inner structure of the ring case 110 is formed by the inner case 112, and the inner case 112 has better plasticity due to the characteristics of the plastic material, so that a component cavity for mounting the electronic component 130 is easily formed on the inner case 112, and the mounting of the electronic component 130 and the connecting circuit thereof is greatly facilitated. Thus, on the basis of the two effects, the intelligent ring 100 can also have at least another two effects: the density of the finger ring shell 110 formed by compounding the ceramic material and the plastic material is low, so that the quality of the finger ring shell 110 is light, and the intelligent finger ring 100 can be worn for a long time and is not easy to generate a sense of burden; moreover, the utility model is not easy to break and damage when falling; and fourthly, the element cavity for installing the electronic element 130 is arranged on the inner shell 112 of the ring shell 110, so that the process difficulty and the assembly difficulty are low, and the production efficiency is improved.

The technical effect of the utility model is that the finger ring casing 110 of the intelligent finger ring 100 is arranged into a composite structure formed by compounding the outer casing 111 and the inner casing 112, the outer casing 111 is made of ceramic material, and the inner casing 112 is made of plastic material, so that the finger ring casing 110 has better wear resistance and corrosion resistance, and the whole appearance surface of the finger ring casing 110 is moist and smooth, so that the intelligent finger ring 100 has the feeling of being warm in winter and cool in summer, and the comfort is excellent. In addition, the process and assembly difficulty for mounting the electronic component 130 on the intelligent ring 100 are low, and the production efficiency is high; moreover, the whole quality of the intelligent ring 100 is light and convenient for long-term wearing. See the foregoing description for details.

Referring to fig. 1 to 3, in an embodiment, the outer shell 111 and the inner shell 112 of the ring shell 110 are integrally formed. When the ring case 110 of the intelligent ring 100 is manufactured, the outer case 111 of the ring case 110 may be prepared by using a ceramic material; then, plastic materials are adopted to perform injection molding on the circumferential surface of the inner ring of the outer shell 111 to form the inner shell 112, so that the outer shell 111 and the inner shell 112 are compounded to form the finger ring shell 110; finally, the inner housing 112 of the ring housing 110 is CNC machined to design a component cavity for mounting the electronic component 130.

In consideration of the fact that the outer casing 111 has an inner circumferential surface facing the inner casing 112, since the outer casing 111 is made of a ceramic material, the inner circumferential surface of the outer casing 111 is generally smooth, and when the inner casing 112 is injection-molded, the molten plastic material is not easily connected to the inner circumferential surface of the outer casing 111. In view of this, the inner circumferential surface of the outer housing 111 may be optionally provided as a rough surface, which is bonded to the outer circumferential surface of the inner housing 112.

In the process of manufacturing the ring case 110 of the smart ring 100, after the outer case 111 of the ring case 110 is prepared, the inner circumferential surface of the outer case 111 is subjected to an etching treatment using an acidic liquid to etch the inner circumferential surface of the outer case 111 to form a plurality of nano-scale micro-pores, so that the inner circumferential surface of the outer case 111 forms the rough surface. Inner housing 112 is then injection molded over the roughened surface. During the injection molding process, the molten plastic material is melted into the nano-scale micro-pores of the rough surface, thereby strongly bonding with the rough surface. After cooling and solidification, the inner shell 112 and the outer shell 111 are tightly connected, the sealing performance at the connection position is good, and the two are not easy to fall off and separate.

Referring to fig. 4 to 7, in an embodiment, the outer casing 111 of the ring casing 110 includes a main body 111a and a crown 111b enclosing the main body 111a into a ring shape. When the smart ring 100 is worn on the finger of the user, the main body portion 111a of the ring case 110 is wrapped around the finger ventral surface of the finger; and the crown part 111b of the finger ring case 110 is wound around the back of the finger. The crown portion 111b can be used to see through the display inside the ring case 110 for the user to see, and can also be used to embed decorations to decorate the smart ring 100. Accordingly, the thickness of the main body 111a is smaller than that of the crown body 111b, so that the mass of the outer shell 111 is smaller, and the finger ring shell 110 is lighter as a whole.

Referring to fig. 8 and 9, further, considering that the inner housing 112 of the finger ring housing 110 is used for mounting the electronic component 130, it is necessary to reserve a sufficient mounting position on the inner housing 112. It is optional here that the thickness of the inner case 112 is larger than that of the body portion 111a of the outer case 111. The thickness refers to the thickness in the radial direction of the smart ring 100. As shown in FIG. 4, h₁Represented as the thickness of inner housing 112; h is₂The thickness of the body portion 111a, denoted as the outer housing 111, is h₁＞h₂. By such a design, the thickness of the inner housing 112 in the radial direction is relatively large, so that the inner housing 112 has a sufficient mounting position in the radial direction, and the electronic component 130 with a relatively large thickness can be embedded or mounted, thereby improving the stability of mounting the electronic component 130.

In one embodiment, the smart ring 100 further includes electronic components 130, the electronic components 130 being mounted on the inner housing 112 of the ring housing 110. Specifically, the inner housing 112 is provided with a plurality of component cavities in which the electronic components 130 are mounted, and the plurality of electronic components 130 are mounted in the plurality of component cavities, respectively. The electronic components 130 may include chips, sensors, batteries, FPCs, LED lights, and display screens. Different electronic components 130 have different shapes, structures and functions, so that the inner housing 112 needs to be provided with component cavities adapted to the respective electronic components 130.

As shown in fig. 7, a plurality of the component cavities may optionally include at least one mounting groove 102 located opposite to the main body portion 111a of the inner housing 112 and/or a display window 103 located opposite to the crown portion 111b of the inner housing 112. The display window 103 can be mounted to a display (e.g., a display screen, an LED lamp, etc.) in the electronic component 130, so that the display is transmitted through the display window 103 to the outside through the crown portion 111b of the outer housing 111 for viewing by a user. The mounting slot 102 is used for mounting electrical components (e.g., chip, sensor, battery, FPC, etc.) in the electronic component 130. The mounting groove 102 may be a concave groove recessed from the inner circumferential surface of the inner housing 112, a convex groove protruding from the inner circumferential surface of the inner housing 112, or a through hole penetrating the inner housing 112, and is not particularly limited.

In one embodiment, the thickness of the outer shell 111 in the radial direction of the ring shell 110 ranges from 0.3mm to 3 mm. Such as, but not limited to, 0.3mm, 0.5mm, 0.8mm, 1.0mm, 1.5mm, 1.8mm, 2.0mm, 2.5mm, 2.8mm, and the like. The thickness of the inner case 112 in the radial direction of the finger ring case 110 ranges from 0.4mm to 8 mm. Such as, but not limited to, 0.5mm, 1mm, 2mm, 3mm, 4mm, 5mm, 6mm, 7mm, 8mm, and the like.

Referring to fig. 8 to 10, based on any of the above embodiments, the peripheral edge of the opening at both ends of the outer casing 111 extends radially inward to form an annular chamfered edge 111c, and the outer peripheral surface of the annular chamfered edge 111c is smooth, so as to avoid forming a sharp edge on the peripheral edge of the opening at both ends of the outer casing 111, and further avoid scratching fingers when a user wears the device.

Further, both ends of the inner housing 112 are convexly provided with annular convex edges 112a, an annular groove 112b is formed between the annular convex edges 112a and the outer circumferential surface of the inner housing 112, and an annular chamfered edge 111c is embedded in the annular groove 112 b. After the injection molding is completed, the two ends of the inner shell 112 are limited by the annular chamfered edges 111c at the two ends of the outer shell 111, so that the movement of the inner shell 112 along the center direction of the wearing hole 101 is limited, the inner shell 112 is difficult to fall off from the outer shell 111, and the stability of the whole finger ring shell 110 is improved.

Referring to fig. 1, based on any of the above embodiments, the ring cover 120 of the smart ring 100 may be made of plastic material, so as to further reduce the weight of the smart ring 100 and make it more portable; moreover, the plastic material has a lower thermal conductivity than the metal material, and the ring cover 120 is less likely to feel cold when contacting the skin of the user. Of course, in another embodiment, the ring cover 120 of the smart ring 100 may also be made of a ceramic material, so that the surface of the ring cover 120 is warm and smooth, and the ring cover 120 can be warm in winter and cool in summer when contacting the skin of the user, which is very comfortable.

The ring cover 120 of the smart ring 100 is fixedly connected to the inner case 112 of the ring case 110. The connection and fixation of the finger ring cover 120 and the inner housing 112 can be designed in various ways, and can be specifically configured according to the material of the finger ring cover 120. In one connection, if the ring cover 120 is made of plastic material, the ring cover 120 and the inner housing 112 may be provided with threads that are engaged with each other, so that the two are fixed by the threaded connection. If the ring cover 120 is made of ceramic material, the ring cover 120 and the inner housing 112 can be fixed by gluing; alternatively, inner housing 112 and inner housing 112 are fixed in an interference fit manner by using the elasticity of the plastic material of inner housing 112.
