The wearable device provided by the embodiment of the present application is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings through specific embodiments and application scenarios thereof.

As shown in fig. 1 to 15, the embodiment of the present application discloses a wearable device, and the disclosed wearable device includes a device body 100 and a connection band 200.

The device body 100 is a main functional part of the wearable device, the connection band 200 is connected to the device body 100, and the connection band 200 can facilitate the user to wear the wearable device on a wearing part (e.g., wrist) of the user.

The device body 100 includes a device case 110 and an ear 120 provided on the device case 110, the ear 120 being connected to the device case 110, the ear 120 facilitating the connection of the connection band 200 to the device body 100. Alternatively, the ear 120 may be a unitary structure with the device housing 110.

Ear 120 is provided with a connecting hole 121, a first end of connecting hole 121 is an open end, a second end of connecting hole 121 is a closed end, the open end is arranged between the closed end and device housing 110, and the arrangement of connecting hole 121 enables ear 120 to be connected with connecting band 200 in an embedded manner.

In order to realize the relative rotation between the connection band 200 and the apparatus body 100, the connection end of the connection band 200 is provided with a connection shaft 210, the connection end of the connection band 200 further includes a first convex hull portion 220 and a second convex hull portion 230, the curvature of the first convex hull portion 220 is smaller than that of the second convex hull portion 230, and the height of the second convex hull portion 230 is greater than that of the first convex hull portion 220 in terms of visual effect.

Optionally, the first convex hull portion 220 and the second convex hull portion 230 may be disposed in a joined manner, or may be disposed at intervals, and the arrangement manner between the first convex hull portion 220 and the second convex hull portion 230 is not limited in this embodiment of the application.

The connection belt 200 can be rotatably connected with the device body 100 through the matching of the connection shaft 210 and the connection hole 121, so that the connection belt 200 can rotate relative to the device body 100, and in the process, the included angle between the connection belt 200 and the device body 100 is changed.

In a case where the connection band 200 forms a first angle with the device body 100, the first convex hull portion 220 interferes with the device case 110, and the connection shaft 210 is adjacent to the open end. In a specific installation process, a user grasps the connection band 200 and inserts the connection end of the connection band 200 into the apparatus body 100, thereby causing the connection shaft 210 to slide into the connection hole 121 from the open end, thereby achieving a preliminary connection between the connection band 200 and the apparatus body 100.

Under the condition that a second included angle is formed between the connection band 200 and the device body 100, the second convex hull portion 230 interferes with the device housing 110, and the connection shaft 210 abuts against the closed end, so that the connection band 200 is finally connected with the device body 100, and the assembly is completed. In this case, since the connection band 200 is completely assembled with the device body 100, it can be used for daily normal wearing by the user.

In the electronic device disclosed in the embodiment of the present application, a specific installation process between the connection band 200 and the device body 100 is as follows:

a user holds connecting band 200 by hand, so that a certain inclination angle exists between the connecting end of connecting band 200 and ear 120, the connecting end of connecting band 200 is close to device body 100, connecting shaft 210 is inserted into connecting hole 121 from the open end, and first convex hull portion 220 is in interference with the end surface of device shell 110, and at this time, a first included angle is formed between connecting band 200 and device body 100. At this time, since the connection shaft 210 has entered the connection hole 121, and is adjacent to the open end of the connection hole 121, the preliminary connection between the connection shaft 210 of the connection band 200 and the connection hole 121 is completed.

Next, the user grasps the connection band 200 and rotates, so that the connection end of the connection band 200 rotates relative to the device body 100, and further the first convex hull portion 220 abutting against the device body 100 is switched to the second convex hull portion 230, and since the curvature of the first convex hull portion 220 is smaller than that of the second convex hull portion 230, the abutting degree between the second convex hull portion 230 and the device body 100 is increased, thereby causing interference. As the connection belt 200 continues to rotate, greater interference is generated between the apparatus body 100 and the second convex hull part 230, and finally the connection end of the connection belt 200 is driven away from the apparatus body 100, so that the connection belt 200 drives the connection shaft 210 to move to the closed end of the connection hole 121. In this case, the connection end of the connection belt 200 is still in an interference state with the apparatus body 100 while the connection shaft 210 is also in an interference state with the closed end of the connection hole 121, and finally the connection end of the connection belt 200 is clamped between the closed end of the connection hole 121 and the apparatus body 100, and finally the assembly between the connection belt 200 and the apparatus body 100 is completed. In this process, the mutual interference between the connection band 200 and the device housing 110 is changed from the mutual interference between the first convex hull portion 220 and the end surface of the device housing 110 to the mutual interference between the second convex hull portion 230 and the end surface of the device housing 110, that is, the first included angle is changed into the second included angle between the connection band 200 and the device body 100.

In the above process, the connection shaft 210 is rotationally matched with the connection hole 121 following the rotation of the connection band 200, and meanwhile, since the curvature of the first convex hull part 220 is smaller than that of the second convex hull part 230, the connection shaft 210 is rotationally matched with the connection hole 121, the connection shaft 210 is extruded by the interference between the device housing 110 and the second convex hull part 230, so that the connection shaft 210 moves to the closed end of the connection hole 121, and further, the connection shaft 210 and the connection hole 121 are changed from the adjacent open end of the connection shaft 210 to the closed end of the connection shaft 210, and the connection band 200 is mounted on the device body 100. In this state, the connection end of the connection band 200 is preferably restricted so as not to be freely returned to the open end, and therefore, the connection end of the connection band 200 can be prevented from coming off the device body 100.

The wearable device disclosed in the embodiment of the present application improves the structure of the wearable device in the related art, and by providing the ear portion 120 including the connection hole 121 and the connection band 200 including the connection shaft 210, the first convex hull portion 220, and the second convex hull portion 230 on the wearable device, the first end of the connection hole 121 is an open end, the second end of the connection hole 121 is a closed end, and the connection band 200 can be rotatably connected to the device body 100 by the cooperation of the connection shaft 210 and the connection hole 121. Known through the above-mentioned assembling process, the assembly of connecting band 200 on equipment body 100 need not professional instrument and also need not the user and press or twist the condition of button just can realize more easily, and the camber of first convex hull portion 220 is less than the camber of second convex hull portion 230, make connecting axle 210 and connecting hole 121 carry out the normal running fit installation after have better stability, thereby can avoid connecting band 200 to take place the phenomenon that drops in user's daily use, and when the user need dismantle connecting band 200 and dismantle or maintain, the user can use power a little bit more, and go on to go on can dismantle connecting band 200 from equipment casing 110 against the installation step, and then make the technical scheme that this application adopted can solve the problem that the watchband of the wearable equipment in the background art is dismantled inconveniently and influence user experience.

In the wearable device disclosed in the embodiment of the present application, a surface of the device housing 110 that is in contact with the connection end of the connection band 200 (i.e., the end surface of the device housing 110 described above) may be the concave curved surface 111, and the connection end of the connection band 200 is in rotational contact with the concave curved surface 111. In this case, the concave curved surface 111 is an end surface of the device housing 110 that collides or interferes with the first convex hull portion 220 and the second convex hull portion 230, so that when the connection band 200 is mounted on the device housing 110, the concave curved surface 111 can better limit the connection end, specifically, the concave curved surface 111 and the first convex hull portion 220 are matched to facilitate the connection band 200 to find the mounting position on the device housing 110, and the interference of the concave curved surface 111 with the second convex hull portion 230 is beneficial to the connection band 210 to rotationally move to the closed end of the connection hole 121, so as to achieve the matching, thereby enabling the concave curved surface 111 to improve the assembling performance between the connection band 200 and the device housing 110.

In a further technical solution, as shown in fig. 6, the shape of concave curved surface 111 may be adapted to the shape of first convex hull 220, and this way of providing concave curved surface 111 is more convenient for a user to determine an initial installation position of connection band 200 on device housing 110, so that the assembly between connection band 200 and device housing 110 is easier, and thus, installation time can be saved, and installation efficiency can be improved.

In this case, a third included angle formed between the first hole section 121a and the second hole section 121b is an angle that the connection belt 200 rotates relative to the device housing 110 when being mounted on the device housing 110, so that the connection shaft 210 can enter the second hole section 121b from the first hole section 121a of the connection hole 121 in the process that the first convex hull 220 rotates toward the second convex hull 230, and thus the arrangement of the first hole section 121a and the second hole section 121b is beneficial to the assembly of the connection shaft 210 on the device housing 110.

Meanwhile, the first hole section 121a is an initial position when the connecting shaft 210 and the connecting hole 121 are mounted or a final position when the connecting shaft is detached, and the second hole section 121b is an initial position when the connecting shaft 210 and the connecting hole 121 are mounted or a final position when the connecting shaft is detached, because the first hole section 121a intersects with the second hole section 121b, the center lines of the center positions of the first hole section 121a and the second hole section 121b are not on the same straight line, that is, the extending direction of the first hole section 121a is not the mounting direction or the detaching direction of the connecting shaft 210, so that the mode of setting the first hole section 121a and the second hole section 121b can play a better anti-falling role on the connecting belt 200, and further, the phenomenon that the connecting belt 200 falls off in the using process can be better avoided.

Alternatively, the elastomeric matrix 240 may be a rubber matrix or a leather substrate.

In a further technical solution, the elastic base 240 may be wrapped on a portion of the reinforcing element 250, the reinforcing element 250 includes the connecting shaft 210, and the connecting shaft 210 is exposed out of the elastic base 240, in this case, the reinforcing element 250 can exert a reinforcing effect on the elastic base 240, so that a fitting relationship between the elastic base 240 and the device housing 110 can be improved, and the elastic base 240 can also protect a portion of the reinforcing element 250, specifically, the portion of the reinforcing element 250 protected by the elastic base 240 does not include the connecting shaft 210, so that the connecting shaft 210 is exposed out of the elastic base 240, and further, the elastic base 240 can wrap a portion of the reinforcing element 250, but does not affect a rotational fit between the connecting shaft 210 and the connecting hole 121.

In the more optimized scheme, reinforcement 250 can be the metalwork, equipment casing 110 is equipped with conductive structure, the metalwork can be connected with conductive structure electricity, wearable equipment still includes the battery, the battery sets up on connecting band 200, thereby can avoid the battery to occupy the space in equipment casing 110, make the battery just can be connected with the interior electric appliance electricity of equipment casing 110 through reinforcement 250 and conductive structure simultaneously, thereby make reinforcement 250 can exert the effect that a thing is multi-purpose, the structure setting of the electricity connection in the wearable equipment can also be simplified simultaneously.
