Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application belongs to the field of electronic device technology, specifically relating to a wearable device. Background Technology
[0002] In related technologies, wearable devices use straps to connect the front and back parts, which provides support at both ends and makes them easy to wear. However, they take up relatively large storage space and cannot simultaneously accommodate both wearing and storage of wearable devices. Summary of the Invention
[0003] This application aims to provide a wearable device that at least solves one of the problems in the related art where wearable devices cannot simultaneously achieve both wearing and storage.
[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this application is implemented as follows:
[0005] This application provides a wearable device that has at least a stowed state and an unfolded state. The wearable device includes a main body, an adjustment part, a strap, and a sliding structure. The main body and the adjustment part are connected by the strap, and the adjustment part has an adjustment hole for the strap to extend out. The sliding structure is disposed inside the adjustment part and is slidably connected to the adjustment part. The strap is connected to the sliding structure. The portion of the strap located between the adjustment part and the main body is the wearing part. The sliding structure slides relative to the adjustment part to adjust the length of the wearing part, so that the wearable device can switch between a stowed state and an unfolded state.
[0006] In embodiments of this application, the wearable device includes a main body, an adjustment part, a strap, and a sliding structure, with the strap connecting the main body and the adjustment part. The adjustment part contains a sliding structure, which is connected to the strap and slidably connected to the adjustment part. This allows the length of the wearing part to be adjusted when the sliding structure slides relative to the adjustment part, increasing the adjustment range and allowing the wearer to adjust the length according to their needs. Simultaneously, the sliding structure moves the strap, enabling the wearable device to move to a stowed state and an unfolded state. In the stowed state, the length of the wearing part decreases, reducing the overall size of the wearable device for easier storage. In the unfolded state, the sliding structure moves the strap inwards towards the adjustment part, further increasing the adjustment range and allowing the user to wear the device according to different needs. This design balances ease of wearing and storage, effectively addressing both the wearing and storage requirements of the wearable device.

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention based on the specific circumstances.
[0043] The following is combined Figures 1-28A wearable device according to an embodiment of the present invention is described.
[0044] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, the wearable device has at least a stowed state and an unfolded state. The wearable device includes a main body 1, an adjustment part 2, a strap 3, and a sliding structure 4. The main body 1 and the adjustment part 2 are connected by the strap 3. The adjustment part 2 is provided with an adjustment hole 22 for the strap 3 to extend out. The sliding structure 4 is disposed in the adjustment part 2 and is slidably connected to the adjustment part 2. The strap 3 is connected to the sliding structure 4. The portion of the strap 3 located between the adjustment part 2 and the main body 1 is the wearing part. The sliding structure 4 slides relative to the adjustment part 2 to adjust the length of the wearing part, so that the wearable device can switch between the stowed state and the unfolded state.
[0045] In the embodiments of this application, the wearable device includes a main body 1, an adjustment part 2, a strap 3, and a sliding structure 4. The strap 3 connects the main body 1 and the adjustment part 2. The adjustment part 2 contains the sliding structure 4, which is connected to the strap 3. The sliding structure 4 is slidably connected to the adjustment part 2. Thus, when the sliding structure 4 slides relative to the adjustment part 2, the length of the wearing part can be adjusted, increasing the adjustment range of the wearing part, allowing the wearer 7 to adjust the length according to actual needs. Simultaneously, the sliding structure 4 moves the strap 3, enabling the wearable device to move to a stowed state and an unfolded state. In the stowed state, the length of the wearing part decreases, and the overall volume of the wearable device decreases, facilitating storage. In the unfolded state, the sliding structure 4 moves the strap 3 inwards towards the adjustment part 2, further increasing the adjustment range of the wearing part, allowing the user to wear it according to different needs. This combination of ease of wearing and storage of the wearable device effectively addresses both the wearing and storage requirements.
[0046] According to one embodiment of this application, the strap 3 is slidably connected to the sliding structure 4, and the strap 3 slides relative to the sliding structure 4 to adjust the length of the wearing part; the part of the strap 3 stored in the adjustment part 2 is the storage part. During the process of the wearable device switching from the storage state to the unfolded state, the strap 3 slides relative to the sliding structure 4, so that the length of the storage part decreases and the length of the wearing part increases.
[0047] In this embodiment, the strap 3 is slidably connected to the sliding structure 4. When the strap 3 slides relative to the sliding structure 4, the length of the wearing part can be adjusted. That is, the sliding structure 4 can drive the strap 3 to slide relative to the adjustment part 2, and the strap 3 can also slide relative to the sliding structure 4, thereby extending the range of motion of the strap 3 through their cooperation. The storage portion of the strap 3 is stored within the adjustment part 2. During the process of switching the wearable device from the stored state to the unfolded state, the strap 3 slides outward from the adjustment part 2, reducing the length of the stored portion inside the adjustment part 2 and increasing the length of the wearing part outside the adjustment part 2, thus enabling the wearable device to unfold. Correspondingly, during the process of switching the wearable device from the unfolded state to the stored state, the strap 3 slides inward from the adjustment part 2, increasing the length of the stored portion and decreasing the length of the wearing part, thus enabling the wearable device to be stored.
[0048] Understandably, during the process of switching the wearable device from the stored state to the unfolded state, the sliding structure 4 also slides relative to the adjustment part 2, so as to drive the strap 3 to move outward from the adjustment part 2, thereby reducing the length of the stored part and increasing the length of the wearing part; during the process of switching the wearable device from the unfolded state to the stored state, the sliding structure 4 slides relative to the adjustment part 2, so as to drive the strap 3 to move inward from the adjustment part 2, thereby increasing the length of the stored part and decreasing the length of the wearing part.
[0049] Understandably, the length of the sliding structure 4 is less than the length between the two sides of the adjustment section 2 where the strap 3 extends, ensuring that the sliding structure 4 slides between the two sides of the adjustment section 2 without being exposed, thereby causing the strap 3 to extend into or out of the adjustment section 2. Therefore, by setting the strap 3 to be able to slide relative to the sliding structure 4, the adjustment range of the strap 3 can be increased while avoiding the exposure of the sliding structure 4, and the length of the strap 3 stored in the adjustment section 2 can be increased, thereby reducing the storage volume of the wearable device.
[0050] Additionally, it should be noted that during the pulling of the strap 3, the strap 3 can slide relative to the sliding structure 4 first, and after the strap 3 slides to its position, it drives the sliding structure 4 to slide relative to the adjusting part 2 to further increase the adjustable length of the strap 3. Alternatively, the sliding structure 4 can drive the strap 3 to slide relative to the adjusting part 2 first, and after the sliding structure 4 moves to its position, the strap 3 slides relative to the sliding structure 4. Of course, the sliding structure 4 and the strap 3 can also slide simultaneously.
[0051] Specifically, such as Figure 27 and Figure 28 As shown, the main body 1 is worn over the eyes of the wearer 7, and the adjustment part 2 is located behind the wearer 7.
[0052] like Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 18 As shown, according to some embodiments of this application, the sliding structure 4 includes a separate first sliding part 40 and a second sliding part 42, which are respectively connected to the main body part 1 via straps 3; the adjusting part 2 has a first guide structure 245 and a second guide structure 246; the first guide structure 245 cooperates with the first sliding part 40 for guidance, and the second guide structure 246 cooperates with the second sliding part 42 for guidance; the first sliding part 40 and the second sliding part 42 move in opposite directions to adjust the length of the wearing part.
[0053] In this embodiment, the adjustment part 2 includes a first guide structure 245 and a second guide structure 246. The first guide structure 245 can cooperate with the first sliding part 40 for guidance, allowing the first sliding part 40 to slide along the trajectory defined by the first guide structure 245, ensuring the reliability of the sliding of the first sliding part 40. The second guide structure 246 can cooperate with the second sliding part 42 for guidance, allowing the second sliding part 42 to slide along the trajectory defined by the second guide structure 246, ensuring the reliability of the sliding of the second sliding part 42. The first sliding part 40 and the second sliding part 42 slide in opposite directions toward the adjustment hole 22 to increase the length of the wearing part, and the first sliding part 40 and the second sliding part 42 slide in opposite directions away from the adjustment hole 22 to decrease the length of the wearing part.
[0054] The first sliding part 40 and the second sliding part 42 are respectively connected to the main body part 1 via straps 3. There can be two straps 3, with the first sliding part 40 connected to the main body part 1 via one strap 3 and the second sliding part 42 connected to the main body part 1 via the other strap 3. This way, if one strap 3 is damaged, only the damaged strap 3 needs to be replaced or repaired, reducing maintenance costs. Alternatively, the first sliding part 40 and the second sliding part 42 can be connected to the main body part 1 via the two ends of the same strap 3.
[0055] like Figure 7 and Figure 18 As shown, the first guide structure 245 and / or the second guide structure 246 are guide grooves. Further, the guide groove is formed by a first guide rib 240, a second guide rib 242, and a third guide rib 244. The first guide rib 240 and the second guide rib 242 together define the sliding range of the first sliding part 40, and the first guide rib 240 and the third guide rib 244 together define the sliding range of the second sliding part 42. The first sliding part 40 and the second sliding part 42 share the first guide rib 240, reducing the space occupied by the guide structure, thus facilitating the miniaturization design of wearable devices and reducing production costs.
[0056] According to one embodiment of this application, such as Figure 14, Figure 16 and Figure 17 As shown, according to some embodiments of this application, the sliding structure 4 further includes: a synchronizing gear 46, a first rack 400 is provided on the outer side wall of the first sliding part 40, a second rack 420 is provided on the outer side wall of the second sliding part 42, and the synchronizing gear 46 is disposed between the first rack 400 and the second rack 420 and meshes with the first rack 400 and the second rack 420.
[0057] In this embodiment, the wearable device also includes a synchronizing gear 46. A first rack 400 is provided on the outer side of the first sliding part 40, and a second rack 420 is provided on the outer side of the second sliding part 42. The synchronizing gear 46 is disposed between the first rack 400 and the second rack 420 and meshes with the first rack 400 and the second rack 420, so that the first sliding part 40 and the second sliding part 42 can move synchronously, thereby making the straps 3 on both sides of the adjustment part 2 the same length for easy wearing.
[0058] In a specific application, along the depth direction of the first sliding portion 40, the first rack 400 is located in the middle of the outer side wall of the first sliding portion 40, and the second rack 420 is located in the middle of the outer side wall of the second sliding portion 42, to increase the strength of the first rack 400 and the second rack 420. Correspondingly, the synchronizing gear 46 includes a tooth portion 462 and gear posts 460 disposed at both ends of the tooth portion 462.
[0059] Furthermore, the first rack 400 and the second rack 420 are respectively provided with mounting positions 402, the mounting position 402 of the first rack 400 extends to the top end of the first sliding part 40, and the mounting position 402 of the second rack 420 extends to the top end of the second sliding part 42.
[0060] According to some embodiments of this application, the synchronous gear 46 rotates and drives the first sliding part 40 and the second sliding part 42 to move through the first rack 400 and the second rack 420 respectively, so as to adjust the length of the wearing part.
[0061] In this embodiment, when the synchronous gear 46 rotates, it drives the first rack 400 and the second rack 420 that cooperate with it to move, thereby causing the first sliding part 40 and the second sliding part 42 to move in opposite directions. This causes the first sliding part 40 and the second sliding part 42 to move relative to the adjustment part 2 towards the adjustment hole 22 or away from the adjustment hole 22, thereby adjusting the length of the wearing part. Through the cooperative movement of the synchronous gear 46 with the first rack 400 and the second rack 420, the reliability of the adjustment of the wearing part is ensured.
[0062] According to some embodiments of this application, during the process of switching the wearable device from a stored state to an unfolded state, the first sliding part 40 and the second sliding part 42 move away from each other to increase the length of the wearing part; during the process of switching the wearable device from an unfolded state to a stored state, the first sliding part 40 and the second sliding part 42 move closer to each other to decrease the length of the wearing part.
[0063] In this embodiment, the wearable device switches between a stowed state and an unfolded state. Specifically, during the process of switching the wearable device from the stowed state to the unfolded state, the first sliding part 40 and the second sliding part 42 move away from each other and drive the strap 3 provided on the first sliding part 40 and the second sliding part 42 to move outward of the adjustment part 2, thereby increasing the length of the wearing part. Correspondingly, during the process of switching the wearable device from the unfolded state to the stowed state, the first sliding part 40 and the second sliding part 42 move closer to each other and drive the strap 3 to move inward of the adjustment part 2, thereby decreasing the length of the wearing part, thus realizing the stowage of the wearable device.
[0064] According to one embodiment of this application, the two ends of the strap 3 extend into the adjustment part 2 through adjustment holes 22 located on both sides of the adjustment part 2, and the main body 1 is fixed between the two ends of the strap 3; the sliding structure 4 includes: a first sliding part 40, the first end 30 of the strap 3 is disposed on the first sliding part 40 and can slide along the first sliding part 40, and the first sliding part 40 is slidably connected to the adjustment part 2 along the sliding direction of the strap 3; a second sliding part 42, the second sliding part 42 is disposed opposite to the first sliding part 40, the second end 31 of the strap 3 is disposed on the second sliding part 42 and can slide along the second sliding part 42, and the second sliding part 42 is slidably connected to the adjustment part 2 along the sliding direction of the strap 3.
[0065] In this embodiment, both ends of the strap 3 extend into the adjustment part 2 through the adjustment holes 22 on both sides of the adjustment part 2, so that the first sliding part 40 and the second sliding part 42 are connected to the same strap 3, improving the reliability of the strap 3 connection. The sliding structure 4 includes a first sliding part 40 and a second sliding part 42. The first sliding part 40 is slidably connected to the adjustment part 2, thereby causing the strap 3 to extend into or out of the adjustment part 2. The first end 30 of the strap 3 is disposed on and slidably connected to the first sliding part 40, thereby increasing the adjustment range of the strap 3. The second sliding part 42 is disposed opposite to the first sliding part 40 and can slide relative to the adjustment part 2, thereby causing the second end 31 of the strap 3 to extend into or out of the adjustment part 2. Simultaneously, the second end 31 of the strap 3 can slide relative to the second sliding part 42, thereby increasing the adjustment range of the strap 3.
[0066] In specific applications, such as Figure 23As shown, the first end 30 of the strap 3 extends into the adjustment part 2 through the adjustment hole 22 on the first side of the adjustment part 2, and the second end 31 of the strap 3 extends into the adjustment part 2 through the adjustment hole 22 on the second side of the adjustment part 2. The first side and the second side of the adjustment part 2 are arranged opposite to each other. In order to increase the adjustment range of the strap 3, in the stored state, the first sliding part 40 is arranged close to the second side, and the second sliding part 42 is arranged close to the first side.
[0067] Specifically, such as Figure 24 As shown, the middle part of the strap 3 is located on the main body 1. The first end 30 and the second end 31 of the strap 3 extend into the adjustment part 2 from both sides, that is, the strap 3 is an integral structure, which improves the reliability of the strap 3 connection. Among them, the center of the integral strap 3 is fixed to the main body 1, serving as the base point for the force of the entire wearable device. The strap 3, which is away from the center, provides inward tension after being stretched and deformed, which is transmitted to the adjustment part 2, generating a resultant force in the front and back. This resultant force is the front and back clamping force required for wearing, and also the force that helps the wearable device return to its stored state.
[0068] According to some embodiments of this application, the strap 3 is provided with an elastic limiting part 32, and the sliding structure 4 is provided with a limiting recess 44. When the elastic limiting part 32 moves to be opposite to the limiting recess 44, the elastic limiting part 32 is locked in the limiting recess 44, and the strap 3 moves synchronously with the sliding structure 4 through the elastic limiting part 32.
[0069] In this embodiment, the strap 3 is provided with an elastic limiting part 32, and the sliding structure 4 is provided with a limiting recess 44. The elastic limiting part 32 and the limiting recess 44 can switch between engagement and disengagement. When the elastic limiting part 32 moves into the limiting recess 44, the strap 3 and the sliding structure 4 are relatively fixed, so that the strap 3 and the sliding structure 4 move synchronously.
[0070] It is understandable that the synchronous movement of the strap 3 and the sliding structure 4 includes the strap 3 driving the sliding structure 4 to move via the elastic limiting part 32, causing the sliding structure 4 to slide relative to the adjusting part 2, thereby switching the wearable device between its unfolded and stowed states. Specifically, when the strap 3 and the sliding structure 4 are slidably connected, the strap 3 can drive the elastic limiting part 32 to move relative to the sliding structure 4, allowing the elastic limiting part 32 to switch between engaging with the limiting recess 44 and disengaging from the limiting recess 44. Thus, when the limiting recess 44 engages with the elastic limiting part 32, the strap 3 can drive the sliding structure 4 to slide relative to the adjusting part 2; when the limiting recess 44 disengages from the elastic limiting part 32, the strap 3 can slide relative to the sliding structure 4. The synchronous movement of the strap 3 and the sliding structure 4 can also be achieved by the sliding structure 4 moving to drive the strap 3, causing a change in the length of the wearing portion of the strap 3.
[0071] In specific applications, such as Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, according to some embodiments of this application, the first end 30 and the second end 31 of the strap 3 are provided with elastic limiting portions 32, and the first sliding portion 40 and the second sliding portion 42 are respectively provided with at least two limiting recesses 44. The elastic limiting portion 32 can move between being engaged in the limiting recesses 44 and being moved out of the limiting recesses 44. When the elastic limiting portion 32 is engaged in the limiting recesses 44, the strap 3 drives the first sliding portion 40 or the second sliding portion 42 to slide relative to the adjusting portion 2 through the elastic limiting portion 32.
[0072] In this embodiment, the first end 30 and the second end 31 of the strap 3 are provided with elastic limiting parts 32. The first sliding part 40 and the second sliding part 42 are respectively provided with two limiting recesses 44. The elastic limiting part 32 can be locked in the limiting recesses 44, thereby driving the first sliding part 40 or the second sliding part 42 to slide relative to the adjusting part 2. The elastic limiting part 32 can also be moved out of the limiting recesses 44 under the action of external force, and then slide on the first sliding part 40 to further increase the length adjustment range of the strap 3.
[0073] In practical applications, in the stored state, the elastic limiting part 32 of the first end 30 of the strap 3 is located in the limiting recess 44 at one end of the first sliding part 40. During the process of switching from the stored state to the unfolded state, when the strap 3 is pulled, the elastic limiting part 32 moves from the limiting recess 44 at one end of the first sliding part 40 to the limiting recess 44 at the other end, so that a part of the strap 3 extends out of the adjustment part 2. When the strap 3 is pulled further, the strap 3, through the cooperation of the elastic limiting part 32 and the limiting recess 44, drives the first sliding part 40 to slide relative to the adjustment part 2 towards the unfolded position, further increasing the distance between the adjustment part 2 and the main body 1, thereby facilitating wearing. During the transition from the unfolded state to the retracted state, the strap 3, through the cooperation of the elastic limiting part 32 and the limiting recess 44, drives the first sliding part 40 to slide towards the retracted position. After the first sliding part 40 reaches its position, the elastic limiting part 32 separates from the limiting recess 44 and moves to the other end, allowing the strap 3 to be retracted into the adjustment part 2, thus reducing the size of the wearable device. Of course, during the transition from the retracted state to the unfolded state, the strap 3 can also first drive the first sliding part 40 to slide through the cooperation of the elastic limiting part 32 and the limiting recess 44, and then, after the first sliding part 40 reaches its position, the elastic limiting part 32 moves out of the limiting recess 44 and engages with the first sliding part 40. No specific limitation is made here.
[0074] Correspondingly, in the stored state, the elastic limiting part 32 of the second end 31 of the strap 3 is located in the limiting recess 44 at one end of the second sliding part 42. During the process of switching from the stored state to the unfolded state, when the strap 3 is pulled, the elastic limiting part 32 moves from the limiting recess 44 at one end of the second sliding part 42 to the limiting recess 44 at the other end, so that a part of the strap 3 extends out of the adjustment part 2. When the strap 3 is pulled further, the strap 3, through the cooperation of the elastic limiting part 32 and the limiting recess 44, drives the second sliding part 42 to slide relative to the adjustment part 2 towards the unfolded position, further increasing the distance between the adjustment part 2 and the main body 1, thereby making it easier to wear. During the transition from the unfolded state to the retracted state, the strap 3, through the cooperation of the elastic limiting part 32 and the limiting recess 44, drives the second sliding part 42 to slide towards the retracted position. After the second sliding part 42 reaches its position, the elastic limiting part 32 separates from the limiting recess 44 and moves to the other end, allowing the strap 3 to be retracted into the adjustment part 2, thus reducing the size of the wearable device. Of course, during the transition from the retracted state to the unfolded state, the strap 3 can also first drive the second sliding part 42 to slide through the cooperation of the elastic limiting part 32 and the limiting recess 44, and then, after the second sliding part 42 reaches its position, the elastic limiting part 32 moves out of the limiting recess 44 and engages with the second sliding part 42. No specific limitation is made here.
[0075] According to some embodiments of this application, at least a portion of the strap 3 is an elastic structure. When the elastic limiting part 32 is engaged in the limiting recess 44, the strap 3 drives the sliding structure 4 to slide relative to the adjusting part 2 through the elastic limiting part 32.
[0076] In this embodiment, at least a portion of the strap 3 is an elastic structure, providing the internal tension required for the wearable device to be stored or worn, such as... Figure 1 As shown, when the elastic limiting part 32 is engaged with the limiting recess 44, at least a portion of the strap 3 is in a deformed state, causing the strap 3 to tend to contract towards the center of the wearable device (e.g., Figure 1 (in the direction indicated by the middle arrow), thus the strap 3 can drive the sliding structure 4 to move, so that the wearable device can return to its stored state.
[0077] In specific applications, the strap 3 is composed of rigid, elastic, and recoverable plastic (such as PP) or composite material with embedded elastic metal sheets or wires (such as nickel-titanium alloy), providing the inward tension required for wearing and storing the wearable device.
[0078] It should be noted that, in one possible design, the sliding structure 4 is connected to the driving device, which drives the sliding structure 4 to move relative to the adjusting part 2. When the elastic limiting part 32 engages with the limiting recess, the driving device drives the sliding structure 4 to move the strap 3, thereby realizing the storage of the wearable device. The driving device includes a gear drive or a motor drive. Specifically, when the driving device includes a gear drive, the synchronous gear 46 can be used as the driving gear.
[0079] like Figure 8 As shown, according to some embodiments of this application, the elastic limiting part 32 includes an elastic member 320 and a snap-fit member 322. The strap 3 is provided with a mounting groove 33. One end of the elastic member 320 is fixed in the mounting groove 33, and the other end of the elastic member 320 is connected to the snap-fit member 322. When the elastic limiting part 32 moves to be opposite to the limiting recess 44, the elastic member 320 pushes the snap-fit member 322 out of the mounting groove 33 and causes the snap-fit member 322 to be snapped in the limiting recess 44 for limiting.
[0080] In this embodiment, the elastic limiting part 32 includes an elastic element 320 and a snap-fit element 322. The strap 3 is provided with a mounting groove 33 for mounting the elastic limiting part 32. Specifically, one end of the elastic element 320 is fixed in the mounting groove 33, and the elastic element 320 can extend and retract within the mounting groove 33. The snap-fit element 322 is disposed on the top of the elastic element 320. Thus, when the elastic limiting part 32 moves to a position opposite to the limiting recess 44, the elastic element 320 pushes the snap-fit element 322 into the limiting recess 44, so that it engages with the limiting recess 44, thereby enabling the strap 3 to move synchronously with the sliding structure 4.
[0081] Furthermore, when the snap fastener 322 is engaged in the limiting recess 44 and the sliding structure 4 can no longer slide relative to the adjusting part 2, if the strap 3 is pulled further, the force between the snap fastener 322 and the limiting recess 44 can drive the elastic member 320 to contract, thereby causing the snap fastener 322 to disengage from the limiting recess 44 and slide in the sliding structure 4.
[0082] In practical applications, the surface of the snap-fit component 322 is arc-shaped; furthermore, the snap-fit component 322 is spherical or hemispherical.
[0083] According to some embodiments of this application, the wearable device further includes a limiting post, and the strap 3 is slidably connected to the sliding structure 4 through the limiting post; the sliding structure 4 has a groove, and the strap 3 is located in the groove and slides along the groove.
[0084] In this embodiment, the strap 3 is slidably connected to the sliding structure 4 via a groove. As the strap 3 slides relative to the groove, the length of the wearing portion increases or decreases. A limit post is also provided on the strap 3 to restrict its movement relative to the groove and prevent it from slipping out of the groove.
[0085] like Figure 15 As shown, in a specific application, the limiting post includes a first limiting post 34, which is disposed at the first end 30 of the strap 3. The first limiting post 34 is used to restrict the strap 3 from disengaging from the first sliding part 40. The second limiting post 35 is disposed at the second end 31 of the strap 3. The second limiting post 35 is used to restrict the strap 3 from disengaging from the second sliding part 42, thereby ensuring the reliability of the connection between the strap 3 and the first sliding part 40 and the second sliding part 42.
[0086] According to some embodiments of this application, the adjustment part 2 includes a stop part 20 provided at the adjustment hole 22. The stop part 20 is located between the adjustment hole 22 and the sliding structure 4, so that the sliding structure 4 slides inside the adjustment part 2.
[0087] In this embodiment, a stop 20 is provided at the adjustment hole 22. The stop 20 can restrict the movement of the sliding structure 4, so that the sliding structure 4 only slides inside the adjustment part 2, and avoids the sliding structure 4 from extending out of the adjustment hole 22 and affecting the aesthetics.
[0088] like Figure 24 As shown, in a specific application, at least two stop portions 20 are provided inside the adjustment portion 2; adjustment holes 22 are provided on both sides of the adjustment portion 2, and the strap 3 extends into the adjustment portion 2 through the adjustment holes 22. At least two stop portions 20 are respectively provided corresponding to the adjustment holes 22 on both sides of the adjustment portion 2.
[0089] In this embodiment, the wearable device also includes at least two stop portions 20, which are provided corresponding to the adjustment holes 22 on the adjustment portion 2 to prevent the first sliding portion 40 and the second sliding portion 42 from extending out of the adjustment portion 2 through the adjustment holes 22. This improves the aesthetics of the wearable device while enhancing the reliability of the strap 3 adjustment.
[0090] In practical applications, adjustment holes 22 are respectively provided on the first and second sides of the adjustment part 2. A stop part 20 is provided at the adjustment hole 22 on the first side, and a stop part 20 is provided at the adjustment hole 22 on the second side. The first end 30 of the strap 3 extends into the adjustment part 2 through the adjustment hole 22 on the first side of the adjustment part 2, and the second end 31 of the strap 3 extends into the adjustment part 2 through the adjustment hole 22 on the second side of the adjustment part 2.
[0091] Furthermore, in the folded state, one end of the first sliding part 40 is disposed near the second side of the adjustment part 2, and one end of the second sliding part 42 is disposed near the first side of the adjustment part 2; in the unfolded state, the other end of the first sliding part 40 abuts against the stop part 20 on the first side, and the other end of the second sliding part 42 abuts against the stop part 20 on the second side.
[0092] It is understandable that the length of the strap 3 is pulled differently during the process of switching the wearable device from the stored state to the unfolded state, so that the wearable device has multiple unfolded states and can be adapted to the head circumference of different wearers 7.
[0093] Specifically, the tightening force of the strap 3 itself can improve the reliability of wearing the garment for wearers with different head sizes.
[0094] like Figures 9 to 15 As shown, according to some embodiments of this application, the wearable device further includes: a functional part 5, electrically connected to the main body part 1, and disposed on the wearing part; a wire structure 6, electrically connected to the functional part 5, a portion of the wire structure 6 being located within the strap 3 and extending to the main body part 1 through the strap 3.
[0095] like Figure 10 , Figure 11 , Figure 12 , Figure 13 , Figure 14 and Figure 17 As shown, the wearable device also includes a functional part 5 and a wire structure 6. The functional part 5 is electrically connected to the main body 1 through the wire structure 6 to supply power to the main body 1 or provide signal transmission. The wire structure 6 extends into the main body 1 through the strap 3 and is connected to the main body 1 to avoid the wire structure 6 being exposed, thereby improving aesthetics and security.
[0096] It is understandable that the wire structure 6 can also extend into the main body 1 through the first end 30 or the second end 31 of the strap 3.
[0097] In specific applications, the functional unit 5 includes a power supply or control device. The power supply is connected to the main body 1 through the existing wire structure 6 to provide power to the main body 1.
[0098] like Figure 14 , Figure 15 and Figure 20 As shown, according to one embodiment of this application, the wearable device further includes a wire clip 38, a roller 47 is provided on the sliding structure 4, one end of the wire structure 6 is connected to the functional part 5, and the other end of the wire structure 6 extends into the strap 3 after passing around the roller 47. The wire structure 6 is clamped in the wire clip 38. During the process of the wearable device switching from the storage state to the unfolded state, the wire clip 38 moves with the sliding structure 4 or the strap 3.
[0099] In this embodiment, a roller 47 is provided on the sliding structure 4. One end of the wire structure 6 is connected to the functional part 5, and the other end of the wire structure 6 extends into the strap 3 after passing around the roller 47, making it convenient to straighten the wire during the unfolding or storage of the wearable device. When the wire clip 38 is provided on the sliding structure 4, the wire clip 38 moves with the sliding structure 4 during the movement of the sliding structure 4 relative to the adjustment part 2, thereby driving the wire structure 6 to move. When the wire clip 38 is provided on the strap 3, the wire clip 38 moves with the movement of the strap 3. Specifically, during the process of the strap 3 being stored in or extended from the adjustment part 2, the wire structure 6 moves with the movement of the strap 3 via the wire clip 38.
[0100] Furthermore, a wire clamp 38 is provided on the first limiting post 34 or the second limiting post 35 to facilitate fixing the wire structure 6.
[0101] In practical applications, the wearable device proposed in this application combines wearing and storage functions. By adding a concealed sliding structure 4, the adjustment range of the strap 3 is increased, and the size of the wearable device after storage is reduced, thus making it convenient to carry.
[0102] Furthermore, such as Figure 7 As shown, a first sliding part 40 and a second sliding part 42 that can slide relative to each other are added to both ends of the strap 3 to extend the travel of the strap 3; a first rack 400 is provided on the first sliding part 40 and a second rack 420 is provided on the second sliding part 42. The first rack 400 and the second rack 420 rotate synchronously through a synchronous gear 46 to achieve balanced extension and retraction of the left and right straps 3.
[0103] Furthermore, such as Figure 8 , Figure 19 and Figure 20 As shown, in order to achieve the movable connection between the sliding structure 4 and the strap 3, a limiting recess 44 is added to both ends of the first sliding part 40 and both ends of the second sliding part 42. Two elastic limiting parts 32 are added to the first end 30 and the second end 31 of the strap 3. The elastic limiting part 32 includes an elastic element 320 and a snap-fit element 322. Specifically, the elastic element 320 can be a spring, and the snap-fit element 322 can be a spring bead (there can be multiple snap-fit elements, such as spring sheets). When the strap 3 is pulled open by hand, the spring bead on the strap 3 snaps into the limiting recess 44 to achieve the movable connection. After releasing the hand, the straps 3 at both ends drive the first sliding part 40 and the second sliding part 42 to move together under the inward tension, and achieve synchronous movement through the synchronous gear 46.
[0104] Furthermore, under the action of pushing or pulling the strap 3, the reaction force of the stop part 20 on the outer shell realizes the connection and switching of the elastic ball and the limiting recess 44.
[0105] Furthermore, in order to increase the strength and assembly convenience of the first rack 400 and the second rack 420, the mating position of the first rack 400 and the mating position of the second rack 420 are set in the middle part, and the tooth opening is partially opened to facilitate the alignment and assembly of the synchronous gear 46.
[0106] Furthermore, such as Figure 9 , Figure 11 , Figure 18 and Figure 22 As shown, the adjustment part 2 includes a housing 28 and a bracket 26. The housing 28 is provided with a first rack 400 and a second rack 420. The first guide structure 245 and the second guide structure 246 are formed by ribs and cooperate with the bracket 26 to limit the positioning to realize the "U"-shaped guide structure.
[0107] like Figure 21 As shown, the synchronous gear 46 has cylindrical ends and teeth in the middle; guide pin holes are provided on the housing 28 and the bracket 26 to accommodate the synchronous gear 46. To ensure stable movement of the wire structure 6 and improve its lifespan, rollers 47 are provided on the first sliding part 40 or the second sliding part 42 for easy wire handling, and a wire clamp 38 is provided on the wire outlet side. Figure 25 and Figure 26 As shown, the wire structure 6 is connected to the second sliding part 42 via the wire cover 60. Wherein, as... Figure 22 As shown, a sliding groove 260 is provided on the bracket 26, a traction column 422 is provided on the second rack 420, the traction column 422 passes through the sliding groove 260, the roller 47 is provided on the traction column 422, and the wire structure 6 is located on the outside of the bracket 26.
[0108] The wearable device provided in this application has an extended range of about 100%, a smaller storage volume, and is more convenient to carry; the strap 3 has its own restoring elasticity, which provides inward tension to clamp the head when worn; it can be retracted after being removed, and can be easily and quickly stored with the help of external force.
