The apparatus body 100 is a body portion of the wearable apparatus, and the apparatus body 100 includes main functional devices of the wearable apparatus, such as a display screen, a main board, and the like. In the embodiment of the present invention, the device body 100 includes a device housing 110, and the device housing 110 provides a mounting base for a part of the functional devices of the wearable device. In an embodiment of the present invention, the device housing 110 has an interior cavity and an opening in communication with the interior cavity. The driving mechanism 300 is provided to the device case 110.

The connection band 200 is used to enable the wearable device to be worn on the human body. For example, in the case where the wearable device is a wristwatch, the connection band 200 may be a watch band, and the device body 100 may be a dial. In the embodiment of the present invention, the type of the connection band 200 may be various, for example, the connection band 200 may be a leather band, a metal band, or the like, and the embodiment of the present invention does not limit the specific type of the connection band 200. In the embodiment of the present invention, the connection band 200 is an elastic member.

The driving mechanism 300 comprises a winding device 310 and a pulling rope 320, wherein the winding device 310 is arranged in the inner cavity, the pulling rope 320 is wound on the winding device 310, the pulling rope 320 is connected with the connecting belt 200, and the connecting belt 200 can be contracted or uncoiled along with the winding of the pulling rope 320 to be expanded. In a specific working process, the rotation of the winding device 310 can gradually wind the pull rope 320, so that winding is realized; alternatively, the rotation of the winding device 310 can gradually unwind the draw cord 320 wound thereon.

Because the connecting band 200 is an elastic piece and the pull rope 320 is connected with the connecting band 200, the connecting band 200 is tensioned by the pull rope 320 in the process of gradually rolling, so that the connecting band 200 is tightened, and finally the connecting band 200 is compressed and shortened; the restraint of the connection band 200 is released in the process of gradually unreeling the pull rope 320, and finally the connection band 200 is lengthened under the action of the elastic restoring force.

The wearable device disclosed by the embodiment of the invention improves the structure of the wearable device in the prior art, the connecting band 200 is designed into an elastic piece, and the pulling rope 320 of the driving mechanism 300 is wound or unwound, so that the deformation of the connecting band 200 is realized, and finally the change of the length of the connecting band 200 is realized through the deformation. Because the elastic deformation of connecting band 200 can continuous deformation, consequently the length of connecting band 200 can realize stepless speed governing to can adjust to the length that is fit for the user better, can improve wearable equipment's wearing travelling comfort finally.

Alternatively, interface tape 200 may generally include a first end attached to an end of device housing 110 having an opening and a second end attached to an end of device housing 110 opposite the opening, with a portion of pull cord 320 extending through the opening and out of device housing 110, and a portion of pull cord 320 attached to interface tape 200 and extending from the first end to the second end. In this case, the pulling rope 320 can extend from the first end to the second end of the connection belt 200, so that the restraint of the connection belt 200 can be better adjusted in the rolling process, and the length of the connection belt 200 can be better adjusted. Meanwhile, the pull rope 320 can be connected to a plurality of positions of the connection belt 200, and the stress concentration at the connection position of the pull rope 320 and the connection belt 200 is avoided.

Specifically, the first end of the connection band 200 may extend into the inner cavity through the opening, and the second end of the connection band 200 extends into the device housing 110, in which case, both ends of the connection band 200 are located in the inner cavity, so as to avoid a gap between the end of the connection band 200 and the corresponding end of the device body 100, and thus, the appearance performance of the wearable device may be improved.

As shown in fig. 1, one end of the pulling rope 320 may be wound around the winding device 310, the other end of the pulling rope 320 may be connected to the apparatus main body 100, and the winding device 310 winds the pulling rope 320, so as to change the length of the pulling rope 320, thereby indirectly changing the deformation of the connecting band 200, and achieving the purpose of adjusting the length of the connecting band 200.

Referring to fig. 5, in another alternative, one end of the pulling rope 320 is wound around the winding device 310, the other end of the pulling rope 320 is wound around the winding device 310, and both ends of the pulling rope 320 can be synchronously wound and unwound along with the rotation of the winding device 310. In this case, the winding device 310 can wind and unwind both ends of the rope 320, and the winding efficiency can be improved finally.

In order to improve the driving force for deforming the connection belt 200, the pulling rope 320 may be embedded in the connection belt 200. In this case, the pull cord 320 is not exposed to the connection band 200, which is beneficial to improving the appearance of the wearable device.

The connecting band 200 with such a structure is in the shortest state when any two adjacent rigid parts 220 are in contact, and in a specific using process, the elastic base part 210 is contracted after the pull rope 320 is rolled, so that the distance between the rigid parts 220 is reduced or even disappears, and finally the length of the connecting band 200 is reduced. Unwinding of the pull cord 320 causes the elastic base 210 to elongate, thereby lengthening the length of the interface tape 200.

In a further technical solution, the elastic base 210 may include two strip-shaped elastic members 211, each strip-shaped elastic member 211 extends along the extending direction of the connection band 200, a plurality of rigid portions 220 are disposed at intervals between the two strip-shaped elastic members 211, and each rigid portion 220 is hinged to the two strip-shaped elastic members 211 by a hinge shaft 230. The elastic base 210 of this structure enables the plurality of rigid portions 220 to be hinged between the two strip-shaped elastic pieces 211, thereby enabling the stability of the hinge to be improved. Meanwhile, in the deformation process of the connecting band 200, the deformation of the two strip-shaped elastic pieces 211 can balance the deformation of the whole connecting band 200, and the problem of uneven interval between the rigid parts 220 caused by uneven deformation is avoided.

Specifically, the stay cord 320 can be two, and every strip elastic component 211 wears to be equipped with a stay cord 320, and under the effect of dragging at stay cord 320, every strip elastic component 211 can obtain better deformation, avoids the inconsistent condition of both sides length of the connecting band 200 that the inequality of deformation leads to.
