In some embodiments, the bone conduction vibrating portion is configured to vibrate at the ulnar styloid process of the wearer in accordance with the received audio signal. The ulna styloid process is a protrusion of an ulna close to a wrist, when a user answers a call through the wearable device provided according to the embodiment of the present disclosure, the wrist on which the wearable device is worn can be lifted, a finger is inserted into an ear hole or pressed against cartilage on the ear, and sound is transmitted from the bone conduction vibration part to the ear canal through the ulna styloid process, a palm and the finger.

The sound absorption layer can be made of wood sound absorption boards, sound absorption cotton, polyester fibers and other materials. This disclosed embodiment can reduce bone conduction vibration unit and leak the sound through set up the sound absorbing layer at shells inner wall, prevents that information disclosure from protecting user's privacy.

In some embodiments, the rotating shaft has a hollow portion therein, and a conducting wire is disposed through the hollow portion for inputting the audio signal to the vibration unit. Like this, this disclosed embodiment is connected with the vibration unit through wearing to establish the wire in the pivot, need not extra trompil on the casing to reduce bone conduction vibration unit and leak sound.

In some embodiments, one side of the elastic pad close to the shell is provided with a convex part, and the convex part is abutted with the vibration unit; wherein the height of the convex part is configured to enable the elastic pad to protrude to the side away from the shell. The embodiment of the disclosure enables the elastic pad to generate the protrusion by arranging the convex part, so that the elastic pad can be tightly attached to the wrist of a wearer, and the sound transmission effect is improved.

It should be noted that the convex portion may be made of the same or different material as the elastic pad, and the disclosure is not limited thereto.

Referring to fig. 3-4, schematic structural views of a bone conduction vibration part 130 provided according to one or more embodiments of the present disclosure are illustrated. The bone conduction vibration part 130 includes a housing 131, a vibration unit 132, a stopper 133, an elastic pad 134, and a sound absorption layer 135.

The housing 131 includes a first housing 1311 and a second housing 1312, the first housing 1311 having a hollow structure with one side opened, and the second housing 1312 having a hollow structure with two sides opened.

The vibration unit 132 is disposed in the casing 131, and a limiting member 133 is disposed on an outer wall of the vibration unit, wherein the limiting member 133 is sheet-shaped.

The opening of the first casing 1311 and the opening of the second casing 1312 are respectively abutted against two sides of the stopper 133, so that the stopper 133 is clamped between the first casing 1311 and the second casing 1312, and the outer wall of the vibration unit 132 is not in direct contact with the inner wall of the casing 131. Alternatively, the contact surfaces of the first and

The height of the protrusion 1341 is configured to enable the elastic pad to protrude to the side away from the housing. For example, when the height of the convex portion in the natural state is larger than the gap between the elastic pad and the vibration unit in the horizontal state, the convex portion presses the elastic pad outward, so that the elastic pad protrudes to the side away from the housing.

The elastic pad 134 also closes the opening of the housing 131 to seal the bone conduction vibration unit 130, thereby preventing sound leakage from the bone conduction vibration unit 130.
