[0030] The present invention provides a watchband connection structure, which is applied to a wearable device and is used to connect a band body 100 and a housing 200 of a device body. In an embodiment of the present invention, Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the watch strap connection structure includes a fixing component 300, a buckle component 400 and an elastic member 500; the fixing component 300 is fixedly connected to the strap body 100 and is slidably connected to the shell 200; the buckle component 400 has a snap-on portion 411 movably connected to the fixing component 300, and the snap-on portion 411 is used for snap-on connection with the shell 200; the fixing component 300 slides toward the shell 200, driving the buckle component 400 to move toward the shell 200, so that the snap-on portion 411 is snap-connected with or disengaged from the shell 200; the elastic member 500 is elastically clamped between the fixing component 300 and the shell 200.

[0031] The strap connection structure is used to connect the strap body 100 and the housing 200 of the device body. The fixing assembly 300 is fixedly connected to the strap body 100 and slidably connected to the housing 200. The sliding of the fixing assembly 300 toward the housing 200 will drive the strap body 100 to move toward the housing 200. The buckle assembly 400 has a clamping portion 411 movably connected to the fixing assembly 300. The clamping portion 411 is used to be clamped with the housing 200. When the fixing assembly 300 moves toward the housing 200, it will drive the buckle assembly 400 to move toward the housing 200. The clamping portion 411 is movably connected to the fixing assembly 300, so that the clamping portion 411 moves relative to the fixing assembly 300, and can be clamped and disengaged with the housing 200, thereby realizing the function of installing and disassembling the strap body 100 and the housing 200.

[0032] The installation process of the belt body 100 and the housing 200: the fixing assembly 300 slides toward the housing 200, driving the buckle assembly 400 to move toward the housing 200, and then driving the clamping portion 411 to move toward the housing 200, so that the clamping portion 411 is clamped with the housing 200, thereby realizing the installation of the belt body 100 and the housing 200;

[0033] The disassembly process of the belt body 100 and the shell 200: the fixing component 300 continues to slide toward the shell 200, driving the buckle component 400 to move toward the shell 200, so as to drive the snap-on portion 411 to continue to move toward the shell 200, and then drive the snap-on portion 411 to move relative to the fixing component 300, so that the snap-on portion 411 is separated from the shell 200, thereby realizing the disassembly of the belt body 100 and the shell 200.

[0034] An elastic member 500 is sandwiched between the fixing assembly 300 and the shell 200. The elastic member 500 forms a repulsive force between the fixing assembly 300 and the shell 200, so that when the clamping portion 411 is separated from the shell 200, the elastic member 300 has a thrust effect on the fixing assembly 300, so that the belt body 100 is subjected to pressure to separate from the shell 200, so that the disassembly of the belt body 100 and the shell 200 is more convenient.

[0035] It is understandable that when the elastic member 500 is sandwiched between the fixing assembly 300 and the housing 200, it is in a compressed state, so that a repulsive force is maintained between the fixing assembly 300 and the housing 200, so that when the clamping portion 411 is separated from 200, the fixing assembly 300 can be bounced off by the elastic member 500, thereby making the disassembly effect of the belt body 100 and the housing 200 better. In actual application, the elastic member 500 can be selected as a spring.

[0036] The clamping portion 411 is movably connected to the fixing assembly 300, and the specific mode of the movably connected connection may be determined according to actual conditions, such as a rotatable connection or a sliding connection, etc. By driving the clamping portion 411 to move, the clamping portion 411 can be switched between being engaged with or disengaged from the shell 200.

[0037] The technical solution of the present invention is to set a fixing assembly 300 fixedly connected to the belt body 100, the fixing assembly 300 is slidably connected to the shell 200, and the buckle assembly 400 has a clamping portion 411 movably connected to the fixing assembly 300, and the clamping portion 411 is used to be clamped and connected with the shell 200. The fixing assembly 300 slides toward the lower shell 200, driving the buckle assembly 400 to move toward the shell 200, so that the clamping portion 411 is clamped or disengaged from the shell 200, thereby realizing the disassembly function of the belt body 100 and the shell 200. At the same time, an elastic member 500 is provided between the fixing assembly 300 and the shell 200, so that a repulsive force is formed between the fixing assembly 300 and the shell 200, so that when the clamping portion 411 is disengaged from the shell 200, the fixing assembly 300 will be subjected to an elastic force away from the shell 200, and then the belt body 100 will be subjected to an elastic force away from the shell 200, thereby making the disassembly between the belt body 100 and the shell 200 more convenient, achieving the effect of convenient disassembly and assembly of the belt body 100 and the shell 200, and improving the user experience.

[0038] Further, refer to Figures 1 to 5 The fixing assembly 300 has a positioning column 311 protruding toward the housing 200, and the housing 200 is provided with a positioning groove 210. When the fixing assembly 200 moves toward the housing 200, the positioning column 311 is driven to slide in the positioning groove 210. The fixing assembly 300 has a positioning column 311 protruding toward the housing 200, and the positioning column 311 can slide in the positioning groove 210 of the housing 200, which plays a positioning function and also a guiding role. When the fixing assembly 300 slides toward the housing 200, the positioning column 311 is driven to be inserted into the positioning groove 210, and continues to slide along the groove wall of the positioning groove 210 toward the housing 200.

[0039] In actual application, the matching structure of the positioning column 311 and the positioning groove 210 can be set in several groups according to actual conditions, such as one group, two groups, three groups or four groups. When the matching structure is one group, the positioning column 311 and the positioning groove 210 can be set in the middle part of the width direction of the belt body 100 to achieve a better guiding effect; when the matching structure is two groups, it can be set on the opposite sides of the width direction of the belt body 100 to make the sliding process of the fixed component 300 toward the shell 200 more stable; when the matching structure is three groups or more, it can be evenly set in the width direction of the belt body 100 so that the fixed component 300 and the shell 200 are balanced in force during movement. In the preferred solution of this embodiment, the matching structure of the positioning column 311 and the positioning groove 210 is set in two groups, which are set on both sides of the width direction of the belt body 100.

[0040] Further, refer to Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The elastic member 500 is sleeved on the positioning column 311. The elastic member 500 has two oppositely disposed ends, one of which abuts against the fixing assembly 300 and the other abuts against the groove wall of the positioning groove 210. The elastic member 500 is sleeved on the positioning column 311, one end abuts against the fixing assembly 300 and the other end abuts against the groove wall of the positioning groove 210, so that when the positioning column 311 slides in the positioning groove 210, the elastic member 500 is compressed to move, so that the elastic member 500 undergoes a greater deformation. When the clamping portion 411 is separated from the housing 200, the elastic member 500 generates a greater thrust on the fixing assembly 300, so that the belt body 100 is more conveniently detached from the housing 200.

[0041] It is understandable that when the clamping portion 411 is snap-connected with the housing 200, there is a gap between the end of the positioning column 311 and the groove wall of the positioning groove 210, so as to reserve enough space for the fixing assembly 300 to continue to move toward the housing 200. Optionally, the reserved gap between the end of the positioning column 311 and the groove wall of the positioning groove 210 is 0.4 mm.

[0042] In one embodiment of the present invention, referring to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The fixing assembly 300 is provided with a mounting groove 312 around the periphery of the positioning column 311, and the elastic member 500 is provided in the mounting groove 312 to be sleeved on the outer surface of the positioning column 311. The fixing assembly 300 is provided with a mounting groove 312 around the periphery of the positioning column 311, so as to clamp the mounting groove 312 to achieve stable installation of the elastic member 500.

[0043] In one embodiment of the present invention, referring to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5The fixing assembly 300 includes a first fixing member 310 fixedly connected to the belt body 100 and a second fixing member 320 connected to the first fixing member 310, wherein the first fixing member 310 is sleeved on the outside of the second fixing member 320; the elastic member 500 is disposed between the first fixing member 310 and the housing 200, and the buckle assembly 400 is movably connected to the second fixing member 320. The first fixing member 310 is fixedly connected to the belt body 100, the second fixing member 320 is fixedly connected to the first fixing member 310, and the buckle assembly 400 is movably connected to the second fixing member 320, thereby realizing the movably connecting function of the buckle assembly 400 and the belt body 100. The first fixing member 310 is sleeved on the outside of the second fixing member 320, and the first fixing member 310 is equivalent to the end cover connected to the belt body 100, and the second fixing member 320 is equivalent to the mounting member for mounting the buckle assembly 400. The first fixing member 310 has a hollow structure for mounting the second fixing member 320. Optionally, the second fixing member 320 and the first fixing member 310 are fastened by screws. In this embodiment, the positioning columns 311 are arranged on opposite sides of the first fixing member 310.

[0044] In actual application, the first fixing member 310 and the belt body 100 are made by insert injection molding process.

[0045] Further, refer to Figures 1 to 4 The buckle assembly 400 includes a button 410 rotatably connected to the fixing assembly 300, and the button 410 includes a clamping portion 411; the housing 200 has a clamping slot 220, and the button 410 moves to drive the clamping portion 411 to clamp into or disengage from the clamping slot 220. The button 410 is rotatably connected to the fixing assembly 300, and the clamping portion 411 is rotatably connected to the fixing assembly 300, and the clamping portion 411 is rotated to realize the switching of clamping or disengaging between the clamping portion 411 and the clamping slot 220.

[0046] It can be understood that rotating the button 410 can drive the snap-on portion 411 to extend into the slot 220 or to move out of the slot 220. When the snap-on portion 411 extends into the slot 220, the snap-on portion 411 is snap-fastened to the shell 200 to achieve the installation of the belt body 100 and the shell 200; when the snap-on portion 411 is released from the slot 200, the snap-on portion 411 is detached from the shell 200 to achieve the disassembly of the belt body 100 and the shell 200.

[0047] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 2The card slot 220 has a card surface 211 and an inclined surface 212. The card surface 211 is provided on a side of the inclined surface 212 close to the fixing assembly 300. When the fixing assembly 300 moves toward the housing 200, it drives the card portion 411 to move toward the housing 200, so that the card portion 411 is carded into the card slot 220. At this time, the card portion 411 abuts against the card surface 211, and the card portion 411 is fixed to the housing 200 by snapping. The fixing assembly 300 continues to move toward the housing 200, driving the card portion 411 to continue to move toward the housing 200, so that the card portion 411 moves along the inclined surface 212 until it is disengaged from the card slot 220, thereby realizing the disengagement of the card portion 411 from the housing 200.

[0048] Further, refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 The fixing assembly 300 has a key slot 330, and the key 410 also includes a toggle portion 412, which is disposed in the key slot 330 and can rotate in the key slot 330; the rotation of the toggle portion 412 drives the clamping portion 411 to rotate to disengage from the clamping slot 220. The key 410 has a toggle portion 412, which is disposed in the key slot 330. The user can toggle the toggle portion 412 to realize the rotation of the key 410, thereby driving the clamping portion 411 to rotate to disengage from the clamping slot 220, and realizing the separation of the clamping portion 411 from the housing 200.

[0049] On the basis of the previous example, when the belt body 100 and the shell 200 are installed, the fixing assembly 300 moves toward the shell 200, driving the clamping portion 411 to move toward the shell 200, so that the clamping portion 411 extends into the card slot 220, and the clamping portion 411 abuts against the clamping surface 211 to realize the buckle fixing function of the clamping portion 411 and the shell 200; when the belt body 100 and the shell 200 are disassembled, the fixing assembly 300 continues to move toward the shell 200, driving the clamping portion 411 to move toward the shell 200, so that the clamping portion 411 moves along the inclined surface 212, and the clamping portion 411 is disengaged from the clamping surface 211. At this time, the toggle portion 412 is toggled to rotate the button 410 to drive the clamping portion 411 to rotate, so as to disengage from the card slot 220, thereby causing the clamping portion 411 to be disengaged from the shell 200.

[0050] Further, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4The buckle assembly 400 further includes a shaft 420 passing through the button 410, and both ends of the shaft 420 are clamped on the fixing assembly 300, so that the button 410 can rotate around the shaft 420; torsion springs 430 are respectively sleeved on opposite ends of the shaft 420, and two torsion springs 430 are arranged on both sides of the button 410, one end of the torsion spring 430 is clamped with the fixing assembly 300, and the other end is clamped with the button 410. Both ends of the shaft 420 are clamped on the fixing assembly 300, and the button 410 rotates around the shaft 420 to achieve a rotational connection between the button 410 and the fixing assembly 300. Torsion springs 430 are respectively sleeved on opposite ends of the rotating shaft 420, one end of the torsion spring 430 is clamped with the fixing assembly 300, and the other end is clamped with the button 410, so that when the clamping portion 411 extends into the clamping slot 220, the torsion spring 430 has a torsion force on the button 410, so that the clamping portion 411 can maintain contact with the clamping surface 211, so that the clamping fixation of the clamping portion 411 and the housing 200 is more stable, thereby ensuring the fixed installation of the belt body 100 and the housing 200. When the toggle portion 412 is toggled to rotate the clamping portion 411 out of the clamping slot 220, the torsion spring 430 can have a certain reset effect on the button 410, so that the button 410 returns to the initial position.
