The technical solutions disclosed in the embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Referring to fig. 1 to 3, a wearable device according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a device body 100, a connection band 200, a slider 300, and a first driving mechanism 400.

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 the embodiment of the present invention, the first end of the connection band 200 is connected to the slider 300, the first driving mechanism 400 is disposed in the device housing 110, and the first driving mechanism 400 is connected to the slider 300. The connection band 200 is connected to the device case 110 by the slider 300 and the first driving mechanism 400, and finally, the connection band 200 is connected to the device main body 100.

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 a normal case, a first end of the connection band 200 is connected to the first end of the device housing 110 through the slider 300 and the first driving mechanism 400, and a second end of the connection band 200 is connected to the second end of the device housing 110. The first end of the device housing 110 and the second end of the device housing 110 are opposite ends of the device housing 110. The connection band 200 is connected to the device body 100 by the connection with the device case 110.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the first driving mechanism 400 drives the slider 300 to move in the device housing 110, and the slider 300 drives the first end to at least partially extend out of the device housing 110 or retract into the device housing 110. Since the slider 300 is connected to the first end of the connection band 200, the sliding of the slider 300 can drive the first end of the connection band 200 to extend out of the device housing 110 or retract into the device housing 110, and the movement of the first end of the connection band 200 can change the length of the portion of the connection band 200 exposed out of the device housing 110, so that the length of the connection band 200 can be adjusted.

The wearable device disclosed by the embodiment of the invention improves the structure of the wearable device in the prior art, and by connecting the first end of the connecting band 200 connected with the device main body 100 to the slider 300 and connecting the slider 300 with the device main body 100, the first driving mechanism 400 can drive the slider 300 to at least partially extend out of the device shell 110 or retract back out of the device shell 110, and finally the length of the connecting band 200 can be adjusted. Because the length of the connecting band 200 is adjusted through the movement of the sliding block 300, stepless speed regulation can be realized on the length of the connecting band 200, so that the length of the connecting band 200 can be well adjusted to be suitable for a user, and finally the wearing comfort of the wearable device can be improved.

Alternatively, the device housing 110 may have an inner cavity and a through hole, the through hole is communicated with the inner cavity, the first driving mechanism 400 is disposed in the inner cavity, and at least a portion of the slider 300 is disposed in the inner cavity, so as to be connected to the first driving mechanism 400 disposed in the inner cavity. In this case, the first driving mechanism 400 and the slider 300 are both disposed in the inner cavity of the device case 110, so that hiding within the device case 110 is achieved, thereby enabling to improve the appearance performance of the wearable device. Meanwhile, the first driving mechanism 400 is disposed in the inner cavity, so as to facilitate power supply connection with a power supply component (e.g., a motherboard, a battery) of the wearable device.

As described above, the first end of the connection band 200 is connected to the slider 300, and the first end of the connection band 200 can move under the driving of the slider 300. Under the driving of the slider 300, the portion of the connection band 200 exposed outside the device housing 110 may be lengthened or shortened. To facilitate the deformation of the connection band 200 during the movement of the first end thereof, the first end of the connection band 200 is optionally rotatably connected to the slider 300. Specifically, the first end of the connection band 200 may be rotatably connected to the slider 300 through a hinge shaft.

Of course, there are various ways to rotatably connect the first end of the connecting band 200 to the slider 300, please refer to fig. 3, the end of the slider 300 is provided with a groove 310, the first end of the connecting band 200 includes a connecting protrusion 210, and the connecting protrusion 210 at least partially extends into the groove 310. The electronic device disclosed in the embodiment of the present invention may further include a hinge shaft 500, and the groove 310 has a first inner wall and a second inner wall that are oppositely disposed. The hinge shaft 500 sequentially passes through the first inner wall, the connection protrusion 210 and the second inner wall, and the connection protrusion 210 is hinged to the groove 310 through the hinge shaft 500, thereby achieving the rotational connection between the first end of the connection band 200 and the slider 300. The above-described structure allows the coupling protrusion 210 to be pre-fitted into the groove 310 during the assembly process, thus serving as a pre-positioning, and it is easier to align the hinge holes, which are engaged with the hinge shaft 500, on both sides, and then to install the hinge shaft 500 into the hinge holes. It can be seen that the above structure undoubtedly facilitates the assembly of the running fit.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the first driving mechanism 400 is used to drive the slider 300 to move. The first drive mechanism 400 may be of various types. For example, the first driving mechanism 400 may be a hydraulic telescopic rod, a pneumatic telescopic rod, or the like. Referring to fig. 1 again, the embodiment of the invention discloses a first driving mechanism 400, the disclosed first driving mechanism 400 includes a driving motor 410 and a screw rod 420, the slider 300 is provided with a threaded hole 320 extending along the sliding direction thereof, the screw rod 420 is in threaded fit with the threaded hole 320, the driving motor 410 is connected with the screw rod 420, and the driving motor 410 drives the screw rod 420 to rotate. The screw hole 320 and the screw rod 420 are matched to form a screw rod mechanism, and the sliding block 300 is limited in the rotating direction of the screw rod 420, so that the sliding block 300 can be driven to move by the rotation of the screw rod 420, and the first end of the connecting band 200 is driven to move. Since the matching precision of the threaded hole 320 and the lead screw 420 is high, the adjustment of the length of the connection band 200 can be more finely realized. Optionally, the driving motor 410 may be in transmission connection with the lead screw 420 through the reducer 430, so as to achieve better adjustment of the rotation speed of the lead screw 420.

In a further aspect, in the wearable device disclosed in the embodiment of the present invention, the first driving mechanism 400 is movably disposed in the device housing 110 so as to be movable relative to the device housing 110. In this case, the wearable device disclosed in the embodiment of the present invention may further include a second driving mechanism, the second driving mechanism being connected to the first driving mechanism 400, and the second driving mechanism may drive the first driving mechanism 400 to move in the sliding direction of the slider 300. The second driving mechanism indirectly drives the movement of the slider 300 by driving the first driving mechanism 400 to move, and finally enables a greater degree of length adjustment to be performed on the connection band 200. Specifically, the driving accuracy of the first driving mechanism 400 by the second driving mechanism may be greater than the driving accuracy of the slider 300 by the first driving mechanism 400. In this case, during the adjustment operation of the user, the user may first control the second driving mechanism to drive the movement of the first driving mechanism 400, so as to indirectly perform a rough adjustment on the movement of the slider 300, and then control the first driving mechanism 400 to perform a further fine adjustment on the slider 300.
