In other embodiments, the wearable device 10 may also be a smart band or the like.

The housing 110 has a substantially rectangular frame shape, and four corners of the rectangle may be processed into arc transitions through a chamfering process, so that the wearable device 10 has good appearance characteristics. In other embodiments, the housing 110 may have a circular frame shape. The side of the housing 110 may be provided with a slot 103 for mounting the strap 200. Referring to fig. 1, the strap 200 has a strip shape and can be mounted to the housing 110 from the card slot 103 and can form a reliable connection with the housing 110 to reliably wear the electronic device 100 to the wrist of the user. In some embodiments, strap 200 can also be relatively easily detached from housing 110 to allow a user to easily replace strap 200. For example, the user may purchase straps 200 of various styles and replace the straps 200 according to the use scene to improve convenience of use. For example, a user may use more formal strap 200 in formal situations and may use a casual style strap 200 in recreational situations. In some embodiments, the strap 200 is divided into two segments, the two opposite ends of the electronic device 100 are respectively provided with the clamping grooves 103, one end of each of the two segments of the strap 200 is connected to the electronic device 100, and the ends of the two segments of the strap 200 away from the electronic device 100 may be buckled to form an accommodating space, so that the wearable device 10 is worn on the wrist of the user through the strap 200. In other embodiments, the strap 200 may be a one-piece structure, two ends of the strap 200 are respectively connected to the electronic device 100, and the size of the accommodating space of the strap 200 may be adjusted by other structures, such as buckles, elastic expansion and contraction, to facilitate wearing by the user.

Referring to fig. 3 and 4, the present application illustrates one of the two-piece straps 200 as an example. Strap 200 includes a strap body 210 and a cushioning portion 220, strap body 210 including first and second oppositely disposed

surfaces

211 and 213, second surface 213 facing the skin of the wrist of the user when electronic device 100 is worn on the wrist of the user. In other words, after the ends of the two pieces of straps 200 facing away from the electronic device 100 form a receiving space, the first surface 211 is exposed, and the second surface 213 forms a receiving space for passing through the wrist. The buffer portion 220 is connected to the band 210 and forms a cavity 221 with the band 210 at the side of the second surface 213, and after the electronic device 100 is worn on the wrist of the user by the strap 200, the buffer portion 220 can press against the wrist and generate compressive deformation to be close to the band 210. Further, the band body 210 of the two bands 200 is provided with the buffer parts 220, and in some embodiments, after the electronic device 100 is worn on the wrist of the user, the two buffer parts 220 are oppositely arranged on two sides of the wrist in the width direction, where the width direction of the wrist can be understood as the direction parallel to the width direction of the palm. In such an embodiment, strap 210 may include first end 210a and second end 210b opposite each other, first end 210a for connecting to housing 110 of electronic device 100, and cushioning portion 220 may be disposed closer to first end 210a than to second end 210b, and a space may be provided between cushioning portion 220 and first end 210a, such that cushioning portions 220 of two pieces of strap 200 are located on both sides of the wrist in the width direction of the wrist after electronic device 100 is worn on the wrist of a user.

Of course, referring to fig. 5, it can be understood that the buffer part 220 has a suitable length in the length direction of the band body 210, so that the main structure of the buffer part 220 is located in the width direction of the wrist after the electronic device 100 is worn on wrists of different sizes. Further, in some embodiments, the width of the buffering portion 220 is close to the width of the band body 210, and the connection between the buffering portion 220 and the band body 210 is a smoothly transiting curved surface, so as to improve the appearance of the strap 200 and improve the wearing comfort. In other embodiments, the band body 210 of one of the bands 200 may be provided with the buffer portion 220, and the buffer portion 220 may be provided at other positions of the band body 210. For example, after the electronic device 100 is worn on the wrist of the user, the buffer 220 may be attached to the skin of the wrist on the same side as the palm center.

Further, referring to fig. 5 and 6, in the embodiment of the present application, one end of one of the straps 200 away from the electronic device 100 is provided with a buckle 230, and with reference to fig. 7, 8, 9 and 10, the strap body 210 of the other strap 200 is provided with a plurality of through holes 240 arranged at intervals, the through holes 240 extend from the second surface 213 to the first surface 211 and are arranged along the length direction of the strap body 210, and the strap 200 provided with the through holes 240 can pass through the buckle 230 to lock the buckle 230 to one of the through holes 240, so that the two straps 200 form a receiving space for passing through the wrist. The size of the accommodating space can be adjusted by adjusting the position of the buckle 230 locked in the through hole 240, so as to adapt to wrists with different sizes. Further, referring to fig. 11, the strap 200 provided with the buckle 230 may further be provided with a ring-shaped band 250 sleeved on the band body 210 and capable of freely moving along the band body 210, and after the buckle 230 is locked in the through hole 240, the free end of the strap 200 provided with the through hole 240 may pass through the band 250 so as to make the length of the strap 200 better fit to the band body 210.

In other embodiments, the snap fit of two strap segments 200 can have other configurations. For example, a protruding buckle is disposed on the side of the second surface 213 of one of the bands 200, and a plurality of through holes 240 are disposed at intervals along the length direction of the band body 210 of the other band 200, and the buckle can be inserted into one of the through holes 240 to form a receiving space for passing through the wrist. When the buckle is engaged with different through holes 240, the size of the accommodating space is different, and thus the wrist fixing device can be applied to wrists with different sizes.

It is understood that the lengthwise direction of the belt body 210 in the present application is understood to be the lengthwise extending direction of the belt body 210 in a generally flattened state, and the end portion of the belt body 210 may naturally exhibit a certain curvature, but the lengthwise extending direction of the belt body 210 may still be intuitively known. Referring to fig. 7, in some embodiments, the first surface 211 may further include a groove 215 extending along a length direction of the belt body 210, the through holes 240 are disposed at a bottom of the groove 215, and the through holes 240 are spaced apart along the extending direction of the groove 215. When the buckle 230 is locked in the through hole 240, the groove 215 may receive a portion of the structure of the buckle 230, so that the buckle 230 better fits the first surface 211 and provides a relatively good appearance.

In some embodiments, the cushioning portion 220 is integrally formed with the strap 210. Further, the material of the buffer portion 220 and the belt body 210 may be the same, and both are flexible bodies. For example, in some embodiments, the belt body 210 and the buffer portion 220 are made of fluororubber. The cushion portion 220 made of the fluororubber material has good flexibility, so that the cushion portion 220 can be deformed easily and can be restored in shape easily. In other embodiments, the band body 210 and the buffering portion 220 are made of silicone, and the buffering portion 220 made of silicone can also obtain relatively good flexibility. In other embodiments, the belt body 210 and the buffer portion 220 may be made of TPU (Thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer), and the buffer portion 220 made of TPU may also obtain relatively good flexibility. Of course, in other embodiments, the material of the belt body 210 and the buffer portion 220 may be different, for example, the material of the belt body 210 is fluororubber, and the material of the buffer portion 220 is silicone rubber or TPU. Of course, in other embodiments, the belt body 210 may also be a woven material, for example, the belt body 210 is formed by weaving synthetic fibers, and as another example, the belt body 210 may be a metal chain structure, and the buffer portion 220 is a flexible body and forms a cavity 221 with the belt body 210 for providing a deformation space.

The cavity 221 is formed between the strap 200, the buffer portion 220 and the band body 210, and after the electronic device 100 is worn on the wrist of the user, the buffer portion 220 can press against the wrist and generate extrusion deformation to be close to the band body 210, so that the volume of the cavity 221 is reduced. The cavity 221 of the buffer part 220 can provide a deformation space, so that the bandage 200 is suitable for users with different wrist sizes, the size of the cavity 221 can be continuously changed, and further, the size of the accommodating space can be continuously adjusted, so that the defect of the through holes 240 or other structures arranged at intervals in size adjustment can be overcome, the bandage 200 can be better attached to the wrist, and the wearing comfort level can be improved.

Further, referring to fig. 4, the cavity 221 extends to both ends of the buffer part 220 along the length direction of the belt body 210. In other words, in the length extending direction of the belt body 210, the buffer portion 220 and the belt body 210 form a hole-shaped structure, and the space between the buffer portion 220 and the belt body 210 is the cavity 221 capable of providing a deformation space. This kind of structure is provided with and does benefit to the deformation of buffer 220 to make buffer 220 can better laminate in the wrist, and prevent that buffer 220 from producing big extrusion force to the wrist, and then promote the comfort level of wearing. Further, in some embodiments, the second surface 213 has a recessed area 217, and the buffer portion 220 covers the recessed area 217 and protrudes from the belt body 210 at the recessed area 217 at the side where the second surface 213 is located. The thickness of the strap 210 at the recessed area 217 may be thinner than that of the strap 210 at other positions, so that the buffer portion 220 can form a relatively larger cavity 221 with the strap 210, thereby providing a larger deformation space.

Further, referring to fig. 4, in some embodiments, the buffer part 220 is provided with a first through hole 223 communicating with the cavity 221, and the first through hole 223 is circumferentially closed. Specifically, in some embodiments, the first through hole 223 is disposed at a position where the buffer portion 220 faces the tape body 210 in a thickness direction of the tape body 210, that is, a cross section of the first through hole 223 is substantially parallel to a planar area of the first surface 211 or a planar area of the second surface 213 of the tape body 210. In other words, after the strap 200 is worn on the electronic device 100 to the wrist of the user, the cross section of the first through hole 223 may be opposite to the skin surface, and the hole wall edge of the first through hole 223 may be close to the wrist. The arrangement of the first through hole 223 can also provide a space for the extrusion deformation of the buffer portion 220, thereby reducing the deformation resistance of the buffer portion 220 to improve the wearing comfort. Of course, the first through hole 223 can save material of the buffering portion 220, improve the appearance of the binding band 200, and improve the air permeability of the skin contacting position of the buffering portion 220, which will not be described herein. Of course, in other embodiments, the first through hole 223 may be disposed at other positions of the buffering part 220, and the cross section thereof does not need to be parallel to the plane area of the first surface 211 or the plane area of the second surface 213 of the tape body 210.

In some embodiments, the first through hole 223 has a length in a length direction of the band body 210, such that a main portion of the first through hole 223 is located in a width direction of the wrist after the electronic device 100 is worn on the wrist of the user. The pore wall profile of first through-hole 223 can be better in the laminating in user's wrist, and the design of first through-hole 223 has reduced the area of contact of buffer 220 with the wrist skin, can prevent that the atress surface large tracts of land of buffer 220 from laminating in skin to reduce the influence of buffer 220 surface to the gas permeability of skin, and then promote the comfort level of wearing. Further, in some embodiments, with reference to fig. 5 and 6, the surface of the buffer portion 220 facing away from the belt body 210 is a curved surface. For example, the cross section perpendicular to the length direction of the belt body 210 is made to intercept the buffer portion 220 to form an intersection line, and at least a part of the intersection line on the side of the buffer portion 220 away from the belt body 210 is arc-shaped. This structural arrangement of cushioning portion 220 may also enhance the appearance characteristics of strap 200 and enhance comfort of wear. Further, the first through hole 223 is disposed at the top end of the arc surface, which can be simply understood as the top end of the arc surface at the position where the height of the arc surface from the horizontal plane is the largest when the first surface 211 of the binding band 200 is naturally placed on the horizontal plane.

Further, referring to fig. 3 and 4, in some embodiments, the band body 210 is provided with a second through hole 219 communicating with the cavity 221, and the second through hole 219 is circumferentially closed. The second through hole 219 may have a bar shape and extend along the length direction of the tape body 210. For example, for a strap 200 provided with a buckle 230, the first surface 211 of the strap 210 may be provided with a groove 215, and the second through-hole 219 may be provided at the bottom of the groove 215. Referring to fig. 7, for the strap 200 having the through hole 240 and the groove 215 on the first surface 211, the second through hole 219 may be disposed on the bottom of the groove 215 and arranged along a line with the through holes 240 to improve the appearance integrity of the strap 200, and after the electronic device 100 is worn on the wrist of the user, the grooves 215 of the two pieces of the strap 200 are substantially located on a line to improve the appearance integrity of the electronic device 100.

For the second through hole 219 having a long bar shape, the width of the second through hole 219 may be equal to the width of the through hole 240, and the length of the second through hole 219 may be 2 to 4 times the length of the through hole 240. In the embodiment where the through-hole 240 is a circular hole, the length and width of the through-hole 240 correspond to the diameter of the circular hole. The second through holes 219 are disposed to save material of the belt body 210 and improve appearance characteristics of the strap 200, which is not described herein again. In particular, the second through hole 219 is provided to facilitate the relative flow between the air in the cavity 221 and the outside air, thereby improving the air permeability of the strap 200. When sweat enters the cavity 221 or liquid enters the cavity in a use scene such as hand washing, the liquid can easily flow out of the second through hole 219, and therefore the use convenience is improved. The second through hole 219 combined with the first through hole 223 can make the strap 200 have relatively good air permeability at the position of the cushioning portion 220, so as to improve the wearing comfort.

Further, in some embodiments, at least two second through holes 219 are disposed in the length direction of the belt body 210, and adjacent second through holes 219 are disposed at intervals. For example, in the present embodiment, the band body 210 of the strap 200 is provided with two second through holes 219 spaced apart from each other, and the second through holes 219 of the two pieces of strap 200 are the same in number and shape, so that the appearance uniformity of the two pieces of strap 200 is maintained, the appearance characteristics of the strap 200 are improved, and the breathability of the strap 200 is improved. In other embodiments, for wearable devices in the form of two pieces of strap 200, more than two second through holes 219 may be provided in the band 210 of any one piece of strap 200.

Further, referring to fig. 4 and 5, the buffer portion 220 blocks a portion of the second through hole 219 in the length direction of the tape body 210. Specifically, in the present embodiment, the number of the second through holes 219 is two for any one of the two pieces of the strap 200. In the view of the strap 200 shown in fig. 5, one of the second through holes 219 is aligned with the first through hole 223 or covered in part by the cushioning portion 220, and the other second through hole 219 is partially covered in structure by the cushioning portion 220 and is partially uncovered by the cushioning portion 220. This configuration of the second through-hole 219 also improves the air permeability of the strap 200, and the liquid can flow out of the second through-hole 219 relatively easily after the liquid enters the cavity 221. In the present embodiment, the second through-hole 219, which is exposed and not covered by the cushioning portion 220, is provided near the first end 210a of the strap 200, and in other embodiments, the second through-hole 219, which is exposed and not covered by the cushioning portion 220, is exposed from the other end of the cushioning portion 220.

The technical features of the embodiments described above may be arbitrarily combined, and for the sake of brevity, all possible combinations of the technical features in the embodiments described above are not described, but should be considered as being within the scope of the present specification as long as there is no contradiction between the combinations of the technical features.
