[0023] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art belong to the scope of protection of the present application.

[0024] The terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification and claims of the present application are used to distinguish similar objects, rather than to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged under appropriate circumstances so that the embodiments of the present application can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described herein, and the objects distinguished by "first", "second", etc. are generally of the same category, and the number of objects is not limited. For example, the first object can be one or more. In addition, "and / or" in the specification and claims means at least one of the connected objects, and the character " / " generally indicates an "or" relationship between the associated objects before and after.

[0025] It should be understood that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by the terms "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", etc. is based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, and is only for the convenience of describing the present application and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of the present application.

[0026] In the first aspect, as Figure 1 and Figures 3 - 9As shown in the figure, an embodiment of the present application provides a charging device, including: a housing 100, the housing 100 is provided with a first charging part 101 and a second charging part 102; a first electrode group 110 and a second electrode group 111, both the first electrode group 110 and the second electrode group 111 include a positive electrode and a negative electrode, the positive electrodes are all used to connect to the positive pole of the power supply, and the negative electrodes are all used to connect to the negative pole of the power supply; a rotating member 120, the rotating member 120 is rotatably installed in the housing 100, the rotating member 120 includes a first conductor member 121 and a second conductor member 122, the first conductor member 121 is electrically connected to the first charging part 101, and the second conductor member 122 is electrically connected to the second charging part 102; the rotating member 120 can rotate relative to the housing 100 to a first position or a second position. When the rotating member 120 rotates to the first position, the first conductor member 121 is in electrical contact with the positive electrode in the first electrode group 110, and the second conductor member 122 is in electrical contact with the negative electrode in the second electrode group 111; when the rotating member rotates to the second position, the first conductor member 121 is in electrical contact with the negative electrode in the first electrode group 110, and the second conductor member 122 is in electrical contact with the positive electrode in the second electrode group 111.

[0027] Among them, the first charging part 101 and the second charging part 102 can be electrode pieces or electrode contacts that elastically protrude from the housing 100.

[0028] It should be noted that the charging form of the charging device provided by the embodiment of the present application is contact charging, that is, the device to be charged is placed on the charging device, and the first charging part 101 and the second charging part 102 of the charging device are respectively in contact with the charging interfaces of the device to be charged to achieve electrical connection.

[0029] Such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the two charging interfaces of the device to be charged are centrosymmetric about the center point of the contact area between the charging device and the device to be charged, and the first charging part 101 and the second charging part 102 are centrosymmetric about the center point corresponding to the contact area between the charging device and the device to be charged. Thus, when the device to be charged is placed on the charging device for charging, there are two placement methods: placing it upright and placing it upside down. Among them, placing it upright means that the side of the device to be charged with the charging interface faces the side of the charging device with the first charging part 101 and the second charging part 102, and the first charging part 101 is in contact with the positive charging interface of the device to be charged, and the second charging part 102 is in contact with the negative charging interface of the device to be charged. Placing it upside down means that the device to be charged rotates 180° on the plane of the contact area, so that the first charging part 101 is in contact with the negative charging interface of the device to be charged, and the second charging part 102 is in contact with the positive charging interface of the device to be charged.

[0030] When the device to be charged is placed upright on the charging device, under the action of an external force, the rotating member 120 rotates to the first position, the first conductor member 121 contacts the positive electrode in the first electrode group 110, and the first charging portion 101 is connected to the positive electrode through the first conductor member 121. At the same time, the second conductor member 122 contacts the negative electrode in the second electrode group 111, and the second charging portion 102 is connected to the negative electrode through the second conductor member 122. Therefore, the polarities of the first charging portion 101 and the second charging portion 102 match the polarities of the charging interface of the device to be charged placed upright, and charging can be achieved. When the device to be charged is placed upside down on the charging device, under the action of an external force, the rotating member 120 rotates to the second position, the first conductor member 121 contacts the negative electrode in the first electrode group 110, and the second conductor member 122 contacts the positive electrode in the second electrode group 111. The polarities of the first charging portion 101 and the second charging portion 102 are reversed and still match the polarities of the charging interface of the device to be charged placed upside down.

[0031] For the charging device provided in the embodiment of the present application, when the device to be charged is placed on the charging device for charging, whether it is placed upright or upside down, the polarities of the first charging portion 101 and the second charging portion 102 both match the polarities of the charging interface of the device to be charged. Therefore, when the user performs a charging operation, there is no need to additionally adjust the placement direction of the device to be charged, which simplifies the charging operation and improves the user experience.

[0032] Based on the above embodiments, there are various ways to control the rotating member 120 to rotate to the first position when the device to be charged is placed upright and to rotate to the second position when the device to be charged is placed upside down.

[0033] For example, in some embodiments, the charging device further includes a magnetic member 130. The magnetic member 130 is installed on the rotating member 120. Under the action of an external magnetic force, the magnetic member 130 drives the rotating member 120 to rotate so that the rotating member 120 is located at the first position or the second position.

[0034] Specifically, as Figure 2 shown, a pair of magnets with opposite magnetic pole installation directions are installed in the device to be charged. When the device to be charged is placed on the charging device for charging, two areas on the charging device opposite to the pair of magnets are the first areas 140, and the two first areas 140 are magnetized by the pair of magnets. When the device to be charged is placed upright and upside down, the magnetisms of the two first areas 140 are reversed.

[0035] And, as Figure 1As shown, the rotating member 120 is rotatably mounted on the housing 100, and the magnetic member 130 is connected to the rotating member 120. The magnetic member 130 drives the rotating member 120 to rotate under the action of an external force. The magnetic member 130 is opposite to the first area 140, and the magnetic member 130, the first area 140 and the rotation axis of the magnetic member 130 are located on different straight lines. Therefore, when the charged device is placed on the charging device, the first area 140 is magnetically polarized, generating an attractive force or a repulsive force on the magnetic member 130, and the direction of the attractive force or the repulsive force deviates from the radial direction from the magnetic member 130 to the rotation axis, then the magnetic member 130 drives the rotating member 120 to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise, so that the rotating member 120 is in the first position or the second position.

[0036] Therefore, it can be understood that the polarity of the electrodes connected to the first charging part 101 and the second charging part 102 depends on whether the rotating part 120 is in the first position or the second position, and whether the rotating part 120 is in the first position or the second position depends on the polarity of the first area 140, and the polarity of the first area 140 depends on the placement direction of the charged device. By adjusting the positions of the first electrode group 110 and the second electrode group 111 relative to the rotating part 120 and the polarity of the magnetic part 130 accordingly, when the charged device is placed upright, the first charging part 101 and the second charging part 102 are connected to the positive electrode and the negative electrode respectively, and when the charged device is placed in reverse, the first charging part 101 and the second charging part 102 are connected to the negative electrode and the positive electrode respectively. In this way, no matter whether the charged device is placed upright or in reverse, the polarity of the first charging part 101 and the second charging part 102 matches the polarity of the charging interface of the charged device.

[0037] For example, in some other embodiments, a motor and a controller are further installed in the housing 100, the motor is connected to the rotating member 120, and the controller controls the motor to drive the rotating member 120 to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise according to the placement direction of the charged device. In some other embodiments, the rotating member 120 is connected to a lever, the lever is partially exposed outside the housing 100, and the user manually moves the lever according to the placement of the charged device to control the rotating member 120 to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise.

[0038] The following is based on the embodiment in which the rotating member 120 is driven by the magnetic member 130 , and the specific configuration of the rotating member 120 and the magnetic member 130 is described through some embodiments.

[0039] In some embodiments of the present application, the first conductor part 121 and the second conductor part 122 of the charging device are respectively rotatably installed in the shell 100; the magnetic part 130 includes a first magnet 131 and a second magnet 132, the first magnet 131 is installed on the first conductor part 121, and the second magnet 132 is installed on the second conductor part 122.

[0040] For example, in one embodiment,Figure 4 As shown, the fixed ends of the first conductor member 121 and the second conductor member 122 are close to each other, and the rotating ends are far from each other. The first magnet 131 and the second magnet 132 are respectively installed at the rotating ends of the first conductor member 121 and the second conductor member 122. The first conductor member 121 and the first magnet 131 are disposed on the left side of the upper first region 140. The N pole of the first magnet 131 faces the first region 140. The positive electrode of the first electrode group 110 is installed on the left side of the first conductor member 121, and the negative electrode of the first electrode group 110 is installed on the right side of the first conductor member 121. The second conductor member 122 and the second magnet 132 are disposed on the left side of the lower first region 140. The N pole of the second magnet 132 faces the first region 140. The positive electrode of the second electrode group 111 is installed on the left side of the second conductor member 122, and the negative electrode of the second electrode group 111 is installed on the right side of the second conductor member 122. Thus, when the device to be charged is placed on the charging device, the two first regions 140 have opposite polarities, and the first conductor member 121 and the second conductor member 122 rotate clockwise or counterclockwise simultaneously and abut against electrodes with different polarities.

[0041] For another example, in another embodiment, as Figure 5 shown, the S pole of the second magnet 132 faces the first region 140. The positive electrode of the second electrode group 111 is installed on the right side of the second conductor member 122, and the negative electrode of the second electrode group 111 is installed on the left side of the second conductor member 122. Thus, when the device to be charged is placed on the charging device, the two first regions 140 have opposite polarities, and one of the first conductor member 121 and the second conductor member 122 rotates clockwise and the other rotates counterclockwise and abuts against electrodes with different polarities.

[0042] For another example, in yet another embodiment, the first magnet 131 and the first conductor member 121 are disposed on the left side of the upper first region 140. The N pole of the first magnet 131 faces the first region 140. The positive electrode and the negative electrode of the first electrode group 110 are respectively disposed on the left side and the right side of the first conductor member 121. The second magnet 132 and the second conductor member 122 are disposed on the right side of the lower first region 140. The N pole of the second magnet 132 faces the first region 140. The negative electrode and the positive electrode of the second electrode group 111 are respectively disposed on the left side and the right side of the second conductor member 122. Thus, when the device to be charged is placed on the charging device, the two first regions 140 have opposite polarities, and one of the first conductor member 121 and the second conductor member 122 rotates clockwise and the other rotates counterclockwise and abuts against electrodes with different polarities.

[0043] ​It can be understood that the positions of the first conductor member 121 and the second conductor member 122 relative to the first region 140, the left - right directions of the positive electrode and the negative electrode relative to the first conductor member 121 and the second conductor member 122, and the polarities of the first magnet 131 and the second magnet 132 may also include other combinations, as long as when the rotating member 120 is in the first position or the second position, the first conductor member 121 and the second conductor member 122 are both in contact with electrodes of different polarities, and when the first position and the second position are switched, the polarities of the first conductor member 121 and the second conductor member 122 are also switched. The present application does not limit this.

[0044] Since the first conductor member 121 and the second conductor member 122 are respectively rotatably installed, the arrangement of magnetic poles and electrodes is flexible, and the switching of positive and negative electrodes is easy to achieve.

[0045] Based on the above - mentioned embodiments, optionally, the first conductor member 121 is provided with two first legs 1211, and two first magnets 131 are respectively installed on the two first legs 1211, and the magnetic properties of the two first magnets 131 are opposite; the second conductor member 122 is provided with two second legs 1221, and two second magnets 132 are respectively installed on the two second legs 1221, and the magnetic properties of the two second magnets 132 are opposite; when the rotating member 120 rotates to the first position, one first leg 1211 is in electrical contact with the positive electrode in the first electrode group 110, and one second leg 1221 is in electrical contact with the negative electrode in the second electrode group 111; when the rotating member 120 rotates to the second position, the other first leg 1211 is in electrical contact with the negative electrode in the first electrode group 110, and the other second leg 1221 is in electrical contact with the positive electrode in the second electrode group 111.

[0046] For example, in some embodiments, the middle part of the first conductor 121 is rotatably mounted in the housing 100. Two first legs 1211 extend outward from the rotation mounting point and are on the same straight line. Both of the two first legs 1211 are electrically connected to the first charging part 101. A first magnet 131 is mounted at each end of the two first legs 1211. The two first magnets 131 are respectively located on both sides of the first area 140 and have opposite polarities. The positive electrode and the negative electrode of the first electrode group 110 are both mounted on the left or right side of the two first legs 1211, and the positive electrode is close to the first first leg 1211, and the negative electrode is close to the second first leg 1211. When the device to be charged is placed on the charging device, under the magnetic action of the first area 140, the two first legs 1211 rotate clockwise together or rotate counterclockwise together, so that the first one contacts the positive electrode and the second one moves away from the negative electrode, or the first one moves away from the positive electrode and the second one contacts the negative electrode. Correspondingly, the middle part of the second conductor 122 is rotatably mounted in the housing 100. Two second legs 1221 extend outward from the rotation mounting point and are on the same straight line. Both of the two second legs 1221 are electrically connected to the second charging part 102. A second magnet 132 is mounted at each end of the two second legs 1221. The two second magnets 132 are respectively located on both sides of the first area 140 and have opposite polarities. The positive electrode and the negative electrode of the second electrode group 111 are both mounted on the left or right side of the two second legs 1221, and the positive electrode is close to the first second leg 1221, and the negative electrode is close to the second second leg 1221. When the device to be charged is placed on the charging device, under the magnetic action of the first area 140, the two second legs 1221 rotate clockwise together or rotate counterclockwise together, so that the first one contacts the positive electrode and the second one moves away from the negative electrode, or the first one moves away from the positive electrode and the second one contacts the negative electrode.

[0047] By providing legs at both ends of the first conductor 121 and the second conductor 122 respectively, the two ends of the first conductor 121 and the second conductor 122 are stressed, and the electrical contact is more stable.

[0048] For another example, in some other embodiments, the two first legs 1211 and the two second legs 1221 are both in a "V" shape. For example, in one embodiment, as Figure 6As shown, two first legs 1211 are fixedly connected to the same point, and are installed in the housing 100 in a "V" shape for common rotation. Two first magnets 131 are installed at the ends of the two first legs 1211, respectively. The two first magnets 131 are located on both sides of the first region 140, respectively. The magnetic poles of the two first magnets 131 facing the first region 140 have different polarities. The positive electrode and the negative electrode of the first electrode group 110 are installed on the outside of the "V" angle, respectively, one close to the first first leg 1211, and the other close to the second first leg 1211. Under the action of the magnet of the charged device, one first magnet 131 is attracted by the first region 140, and the other first magnet 131 is repelled by the first region 140, thereby jointly driving the "V"-shaped first conductor 121 to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise, so that the first first leg 1211 contacts the positive electrode and the second first leg 1211 is away from the negative electrode, or the first first leg 1211 is away from the positive electrode and the second first leg 1211 contacts the negative electrode. Similarly, the two second legs 1221 are fixedly connected to the same point and are installed in the housing 100 in a "V" shape to rotate together. The two second magnets 132 are respectively installed at the ends of the two second legs 1221. The two second magnets 132 are respectively located on both sides of the first region 140, and the magnetic poles of the two second magnets 132 facing the first region 140 have different polarities. The positive electrode and the negative electrode of the second electrode group 111 are respectively installed on the outside of the “V” angle, one is close to the first second leg 1221 , and the other is close to the second second leg 1221 .

[0049] In another embodiment, the positive electrode and the negative electrode of the first electrode group 110 are respectively installed on the inner side of the "V" angle formed by the first legs 1211, one is close to the first first leg 1211, and the other is close to the second first leg 1211. The positive electrode and the negative electrode of the second electrode group 111 are respectively installed on the inner side of the "V" angle formed by the second legs 1221, one is close to the first second leg 1221, and the other is close to the second second leg 1221.

[0050] By making the first conductor 121 and the second conductor 122 into a "V" shape, the two points are subjected to force and the rotation range is small. Therefore, the magnetic force on the first magnet 131 and the second magnet 132 is always large, and the electrical connection is more stable.

[0051] In other embodiments of the present application, the rotating member 120 also includes an insulating member 123, which is rotatably installed in the shell 100, and the first end of the insulating member 123 is connected to the first conductor member 121, and the second end of the insulating member 123 is connected to the second conductor member 122, and the magnetic member 130 includes a first magnet 131, and the first magnet 131 is installed on the first conductor member 121.

[0052] For example, in one embodiment,Figure 7 As shown, the first conductor member 121 and the second conductor member 122 are installed at both ends of the insulating member 123 and are located on the same straight line, and rotate together with the insulating member 123. A first magnet 131 is installed at the end of the first conductor member 121, and the first magnet 131 is located on the left side of the first region 140. The positive electrode of the first electrode group 110 is installed on the left side of the first conductor member 121, and the negative electrode is installed on the right side of the first conductor member 121. The positive electrode of the second electrode group 111 is installed on the left side of the second conductor member 122, and the negative electrode is installed on the right side of the second conductor member 122. When the device to be charged is placed on the charging device, the first magnet 131 moves away from or approaches the first region 140, driving the first conductor member 121, the second conductor member 122, and the insulating member 123 to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise together, so that one of the first conductor member 121 and the second conductor member 122 contacts the positive electrode and the other contacts the negative electrode.

[0053] In another embodiment, the magnetic member 130 only includes the second magnet 132. The second magnet 132 is installed at the end of the second conductor member 122, and the second magnet 132 drives the first conductor member 121, the second conductor member 122, and the insulating member 123 to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise together.

[0054] By setting the first conductor member 121 and the second conductor member 122 to rotate integrally, the entire rotating member 120 can be driven to rotate by a single magnet. Moreover, by separating the first conductor member 121 and the second conductor member 122 with the insulating member 123, a short circuit can be effectively avoided while they rotate integrally.

[0055] On the basis of the above embodiment, optionally, the magnetic member 130 includes both the first magnet 131 and the second magnet 132 at the same time. The first magnet 131 is installed at the end of the first conductor member 121, and the second magnet 132 is installed at the end of the second conductor member 122. The first magnet 131 and the second magnet 132 jointly drive the first conductor member 121, the second conductor member 122, and the insulating member 123 to rotate.

[0056] For example, as Figure 8 shown, the first conductor member 121 and the second conductor member 122 are installed at both ends of the insulating member 123 and are located on the same straight line. The first magnet 131 and the second magnet 132 are respectively installed at the ends of the first conductor member 121 and the second conductor member 122 and are both located on the left side of the upper first region 140 and the lower first region 140. The magnetic pole polarities of the first magnet 131 and the second magnet 132 facing the first region 140 are the same. The left sides of both the first conductor member 121 and the second conductor member 122 are positive electrodes, and the right sides are both negative electrodes.

[0057] Based on the integrated rotation of the first conductor member 121 and the second conductor member 122, magnets are installed at both ends of the first conductor member 121 and the second conductor member 122, which can ensure balanced force and enhance the stability of electrical connection.

[0058] Based on the above embodiment, optionally, the first conductor member 121 is provided with two first legs 1211, and two first magnets 131 are respectively installed on the two first legs 1211, and the magnetic polarities of the two first magnets 131 are opposite.

[0059] For example, in some embodiments, the two first legs 1211 are in a "V" shape, and the second conductor member 122 is also provided with two second legs 1221, and the two second legs 1221 are in a "V" shape. As Figure 9 shown, the two first legs 1211 and the two second legs 1221 are both connected to the insulating member 123, thus jointly forming a rotating member 120 in an "X" shape. The two first legs 1211 are located on both sides of the upper first region 140, and the two second legs 1221 are located on both sides of the lower first region 140.

[0060] Among them, in one embodiment, the magnetic member 130 includes a first magnet 131, and a first magnet 131 is installed at the end of a first leg 1211, which can drive the entire rotating member 120 to rotate. In another embodiment, the magnetic member 130 includes two first magnets 131, and the two first magnets 131 are installed at the ends of the two first legs 1211 and have opposite polarities facing the first region 140, jointly driving the entire rotating member 120 to rotate. In yet another embodiment, as Figure 9 shown, the magnetic member 130 includes two first magnets 131 and two first magnets 131. The two first magnets 131 are installed at the ends of the two first legs 1211 and have opposite polarities facing the upper first region 140, and the two second magnets 132 are installed at the ends of the two second legs 1221 and have opposite polarities facing the lower first region 140, jointly driving the entire rotating member 120 to rotate.

[0061] By setting the two first legs 1211 and the two second legs 1221 to be in a "V" shape, so that the rotating member 120 is in an "X" shape, it can ensure that the rotating member 120 rotates synchronously and has a small rotation range. The two first legs 1211 and the two second legs 1221 provide four magnet installation positions, and the entire rotating member 120 is driven to rotate by one to four magnets.

[0062] For another example, in some other embodiments, the two first legs 1211 of the first conductor member 121 are in a "V" shape, and the first conductor member 121 and the second conductor member 122 jointly form a rotating member 120 in a "Y" shape.

[0063] On the basis of the above-mentioned embodiment, the charging device provided in the embodiment of the present application further includes an elastic member 150 , which is installed in the housing 100 and abuts against the rotating member 120 .

[0064] For example, in one embodiment, the rotating member 120 includes a first conductor member 121, a second conductor member 122 and an insulating member 123 that rotate together. Then two elastic members 150 are respectively installed on both sides of the rotating member 120. One end of the elastic member 150 is fixed to the housing 100, and the other end is abutted against the rotating member 120. In the non-charging state, when the charging device shakes, the rotating member 120 is resisted by the elastic members 150 on both sides to offset the shaking, thereby avoiding vibration and impact back and forth between the positive electrode and the negative electrode; in the charging state, the rotating member 120 overcomes the resistance of the elastic members 150 on both sides and rotates to the first position or the second position. In another embodiment, the rotating member 120 includes a first conductor member 121 and a second conductor member 122 that rotate separately, and the two elastic members 150 are respectively arranged on both sides of the first conductor member 121, and the other two elastic members 150 are respectively arranged on both sides of the second conductor member 122.

[0065] By providing the elastic member 150 , the loss of the rotating member 120 can be reduced and the service life of the charging device can be extended.

[0066] In one embodiment, the elastic member 150 includes a baffle 151 and a spring 152. The baffle 151 is fixedly installed in the housing 100. One side of the spring 152 abuts against the baffle 151, and the other side abuts against the rotating member 120. Figure 6 As shown, the first conductor 121 is provided with a "V"-shaped first leg 1211, and two groups of elastic members 150 are respectively provided on both sides of the first conductor 121, wherein the spring 152 is a "V"-shaped spring, one side of which abuts against the baffle 151, and the other side abuts against the first leg 1211. The two groups of elastic members 150 together form a protection for the first conductor. The elastic member 150 can be specifically configured in various forms. In another embodiment, the elastic member 150 is a linear spring, one end of which is fixed to the housing 100, and the other end abuts against the rotating member 120.

[0067] In a second aspect, an embodiment of the present application further provides an electronic device assembly, including a wearable device and a charging device provided by any of the above embodiments. When the wearable device is placed on the charging device along a first direction, the rotating member 120 rotates to a first position; when the wearable device is placed on the charging device along a second direction, the rotating member 120 rotates to a second position, and the first direction and the second direction are opposite.

[0068] Among them, placing the wearable device along the first direction is the upright placement mentioned above, and placing the wearable device along the second direction is the reverse placement mentioned above.

[0069] In some embodiments, the charging device includes a magnetic member 130, and the wearable device includes a housing 200 and a device magnet 210. In a state where the charging device charges the wearable device, the device magnet 210 drives the magnetic member 130 and the rotating member 120 of the charging device to rotate, so that the rotating member 120 is in a first position or a second position.

[0070] Taking the wearable device as a smart watch as an example, as Figure 2 shown, the smart watch is placed on the charging device for charging. The back of its housing 200 contacts the front of the charging device housing 100. The back of the housing 200 is provided with a centrally symmetric first interface 201 and a second interface 202. The polarities of the first interface 201 and the second interface 202 are positive and negative respectively. When placed upright, the first interface 201 is in electrical contact with the first charging portion 101. When placed upside down, the first interface 201 is in electrical contact with the second charging portion 102. A pair of device magnets 210 with opposite polarities are also installed in the smart watch. The device magnets 210 face a pair of first regions 140 on the charging device, so that the two first regions 140 have opposite polarities respectively. Under the magnetic force of the device magnets 210, the magnetic member 130 provided outside the first region 140 on the charging device rotates, thereby driving the rotating member 120 to rotate to the first position or the second position, realizing the pole switching of the first charging portion 101 and the second charging portion 102.

[0071] In addition, optionally, fixed magnets are respectively provided on the wearable device and the charging device. The fixed magnets avoid the action ranges of the first magnet 131, the second magnet 132 and the device magnet 210. When the wearable device is placed on the charging device for charging, different magnetic poles of the fixed magnets face each other, thereby adsorbing the wearable device to the charging device and keeping the contact firm.

[0072] The embodiments of the present application have been described above in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. However, the present application is not limited to the above specific embodiments. The above specific embodiments are merely illustrative and not restrictive. Under the inspiration of the present application, those of ordinary skill in the art can also make many forms without departing from the purpose of the present application and the scope protected by the claims, and all belong to the protection scope of the present application.
