First embodiment

Referring to fig. 3 and fig. 4, fig. 3 is a schematic structural diagram of a connecting link 30 in the connecting structure 2 provided in the present embodiment, fig. 4 is a left side view of the connecting link 30, the connecting link 30 and a limiting member 40 form the connecting structure 2, and the connecting link 30 and the limiting member 40 are distributed at intervals; the adjacent connecting links 30 and the limiting pieces 40 form rotary connection; inside the connecting link 30, a receiving cavity 35 is provided for receiving components on the terminal.

Referring to fig. 5, fig. 5 shows a schematic structural diagram of the connecting structure 2 composed of the connecting link 30 and the limiting member 40. In the present embodiment, the receiving cavity 35 is provided in the connecting link 30. The connecting links 30 and the spacing limiters 40 together form the connecting structure 2, and the receiving cavities 35 of the connecting links 30 can be communicated with each other. The meaning of interpenetration is that the receiving cavities 35 on the connecting links 30 are communicated, in which case, components with larger size can be placed besides components that can be received by one receiving cavity 35. It should be noted that, since the connecting structure 2 is bent and deformed through the rotating connection between the connecting link 30 and the limiting member 40, when the size of the component is large, the component should have a bending characteristic, or the component itself is composed of a plurality of movably connected sub-components, so that the connecting structure 2 can be used normally when being bent.

In some embodiments, the connecting link 30 includes a link main body 31, and connecting portions 32 provided at both ends of the link main body 31 in the width direction of the connecting structure 2; the link main body 31 and the connecting portion 32 constitute a receiving cavity 35. The connecting portions 32 symmetrically disposed at two opposite ends of the link body 31 are used for rotatably connecting with other connecting links 30, and the symmetrical disposition is for stability and balance of connection, so as to prevent the connecting structure 2 composed of the connecting links 30 from being bent, i.e., twisted and deformed, in the width direction of the connecting structure 2. The connecting portion 32 is rotatably connected to the limiting member 40 by a hinge. The rotational connection is one of the movable connections, and the rotational connection in the present embodiment merely means that there may be rotation between the two parts of the connection, and does not limit the movement in the planar direction therebetween. Then, the housing cavity 35 in this embodiment is formed by the connecting portion 32, and the link main body 31.

In some embodiments, the receiving cavity 35 includes a first receiving cavity 351 and a second receiving cavity 352, which are located at the top and bottom of the receiving cavity 35, respectively, and separated by a partition 36. The accommodating cavity 35 may be divided into two parts, and components with different properties may be placed in the two parts respectively, so as to avoid mutual interference between the components.

In some embodiments, spacers 36 are disposed on the inside walls of connecting portions 32 on connecting links 30. The partition 36 divides the accommodating cavity 35 into an upper part and a lower part, namely a first accommodating cavity 351 and a second accommodating cavity 352, and the partition 36 extends inwards from the inner side wall of the connecting part 32, so that the accommodating cavity 35 is divided into the first accommodating cavity 351 and the second accommodating cavity 352. Because the connecting portion 32 is formed on the same connecting link 30, the inner sidewalls of the two connecting portions 32 can extend out of the spacers 36 to separate the receiving cavities 35, and the two spacers 36 usually separate the receiving cavities 35 together. Alternatively, in this embodiment, spacer 36 connects two connecting portions 32 of the same connecting link 30. This means that two spacers 36 on the same connecting link 30 can be in communication.

Optionally, the connecting structure 2 in this embodiment may further include at least one power steel sheet 60, where the power steel sheet 60 is disposed in the second accommodating cavity 352, and one end of the power steel sheet 60 is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting structure 2 in the length direction. Referring to fig. 6 to 8, fig. 6 is an overall schematic view of the connecting structure 2 in the present embodiment, and fig. 7 and 8 are a sectional view of the connecting structure 2 at a-a section and a sectional view at a B-B section, respectively, showing an arrangement manner of the power steel sheet 60. The power steel sheet 60 is an elastic thin steel sheet, which is also called as a snap ring steel sheet, and has two states, namely a straight state and a curled state, wherein in the straight state, the power steel sheet 60 is linear, and the section of the power steel sheet in the width direction is U-shaped; when the balance is broken, the power steel sheet 60 is curled, and its U-shaped section in the width direction is flattened, and the section becomes flatter the closer to the center of the power steel sheet 60. Based on the characteristic of the power steel sheet 60, the automatic wearing of the connecting structure 2 can be realized, and a user can directly make the power steel sheet 60 break the balance and curl in a beating mode, so that the connecting structure is worn on the wrist of the user. Because the length of the connecting structure 2 on the power steel sheet 60 changes during bending, a movable space needs to be reserved for the power steel sheet 60, one end of the power steel sheet 60 is fixedly connected with one end of the connecting structure 2 in the length direction, and the other end is a free end, so that the deformation amount of the power steel sheet 60 in the bending of the connecting structure 2 can be ensured.

In addition, the length direction of the connecting structure 2 mentioned in the embodiment refers to a direction in which the connecting structure 2 can be bent and deformed, and is not necessarily the direction in which the length of the connecting structure 2 is in the dimension; since the size of the connecting structure 2 can be changed by increasing or decreasing the connecting links 30 and the stoppers 40, the size of the connecting structure 2 is variable; the width direction of the connection structure 2 is similar to the length direction.

In some embodiments, the power steel sheet 60 may include two power steel sheets, wherein one end of one power steel sheet 60 is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting structure 2 in the length direction, and the other power steel sheet 60 is fixedly connected to the other end of the connecting structure 2 in the length direction. When the power steel sheets 60 include two, the two power steel sheets 60 are respectively fixed to both ends of the connecting structure 2 in the length direction, and the two power steel sheets 60 are arranged to be staggered with each other. More power steel sheets 60 can provide more stable elasticity, so that the using effect is better,

In some embodiments, a flexible circuit board is disposed in the first accommodating cavity 351, and the flexible circuit board is electrically connected to the flexible screen module on the terminal. In this embodiment, different types of components can be placed in the first accommodation cavity 351 and the second accommodation cavity 352, and the power steel sheet 60 placed in the second accommodation cavity 352 may damage the components due to its high elasticity, so that other components are placed in the first accommodation cavity 351, such as a flexible circuit board. The flexible circuit board can be provided with components such as an acceleration sensor, a noise reduction microphone, a battery and the like, and is electrically connected with the flexible screen module, so that the normal use of the terminal is realized.

In the present embodiment, the other two ends of the link main body 31 may be provided with an extending portion 33 and an accommodating groove 34, respectively. When worn, the extending portion 33 is disposed in the receiving groove 34 of another adjacent connecting link 30, and correspondingly, the receiving groove 34 of the connecting link 30 is used for receiving the extending portion 33 of another adjacent connecting link 30, that is, the extending portion 33 and the receiving groove 34 of each connecting link 30 that are connected in sequence are nested in sequence when worn. It is noted that, in addition to the case where the extended portion 33 is placed in the receiving groove 34 of the other connecting link 30 when worn, the extended portion 33 of each connecting link 30 may be placed in the receiving groove 34 of the adjacent connecting link 30 when not worn.

optionally, in this embodiment, the link main body 31 may be configured to be arc-shaped, so that the link main body 31 is closer to the user when being worn, and the user feels comfortable when wearing the link main body, and the link main body is more beautiful.

alternatively, in the present embodiment, the extended portions 33 on the link main bodies 31 are reduced in thickness in a direction away from the link main bodies 31. The extension portion 33 can be selectively set to be a component with a certain gradually-changing thickness, that is, the thickness of the extension portion gradually decreases from the direction away from the link main body 31, so that when the connecting structure 2 composed of the plurality of connecting links 30 and the limiting members 40 is bent, the bending process is more smooth; meanwhile, the local gradual thinning also ensures the integral strength of the parts and reduces stress concentration.

The embodiment provides a connecting structure, which is applied to a terminal by aiming at the problems of concentrated placement and low space utilization rate of devices of wearable equipment in the prior art, and comprises at least two connecting links and limiting pieces which are distributed and connected with the connecting links at intervals, and the adjacent connecting links and the limiting pieces form rotary connection; the inside of the connecting chain link is provided with an accommodating cavity for accommodating components on the terminal; thereby through in the connecting link in connection structure, set up the holding chamber and come the holding components and parts, avoided the concentrated of components and parts to place, promoted the space utilization on the terminal, provide probably for the realization at small-size terminal.
