[0026] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention more clear, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with specific embodiments of the present invention and corresponding drawings. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0027] The technical solutions disclosed in various embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0028] Please refer to Figures 1 to 8 The present application discloses a wearable device, which includes a device body 100, a connecting belt 200 and a tension adjustment device 300.

[0029] The device body 100 can provide a mounting base for some other components of the wearable device, and the connecting band 200 can be used to wear the wearable device. The first end of the connecting band 200 is connected to the device body 100. Of course, the device body 100 is also the main part of the wearable device. The device body 100 can include a display screen, a device housing, a circuit board, a central processing chip, etc. The embodiments of this application do not limit the specific structure of the device body 100.

[0030] The tension adjustment device 300 is connected to the device body 100 and includes a housing 310 and a damping member 330 disposed within the housing 310. The damping member 330 may be a damping plate, a damping block, or the like, and the present application does not limit the specific shape of the damping member 330. The housing 310 has a through hole, through which the second end of the connecting strap 200 passes and extends into the housing 310. The damping member 330, which performs a damping function, can be made of a material (e.g., rubber) and a structure (e.g., a roughened surface) with good damping properties.

[0031] When the damping member 330 is in the first position, the damping member 330 and the second end portion of the connecting band 200 are engaged in a damping manner to fix the second end portion of the connecting band 200 , thereby facilitating wearing of the wearable device.

[0032] When the damping member 330 is in the second position, the damping member 330 is separated from the second end of the connecting strap 200, so that the second end of the connecting strap 200 can enter and exit the housing 310 through the through hole, thereby adjusting the length of the connecting strap 200 extending from the housing 310. Of course, the connecting strap 200 can also be moved out of the housing 310 through the through hole, thereby being separated from the tension adjustment device 300. After the length of the connecting strap 200 is adjusted, the damping member 330 can be placed in the first position to fix the second end of the connecting strap 200.

[0033] The wearable device disclosed in the embodiment of the present application is provided with a device body 100, a connecting belt 200 and a tension adjustment device 300. The tension adjustment device 300 is provided to include a shell 310 and a damping member 330 provided in the shell 310, so that the first end of the connecting belt 200 is connected to the device body 100, and the second end of the connecting belt 200 passes through the through hole on the shell 310 and extends into the shell 310, so that when the damping member 330 is in the first position, the damping member 330 and the second end of the connecting belt 200 are damped to fix the connecting belt 200. 00, thereby facilitating the wearing of the wearable device. When the damping member 330 is in the second position, the damping member 330 is separated from the second end of the connecting band 200, so that the second end of the connecting band 200 can enter and exit the housing 310 through the through hole, thereby adjusting the length of the connecting band 200 extending from the housing 310, so that the length of the connecting band 200 extending from the housing 310 can be adjusted to the length required by different users, thereby meeting different user needs, thereby solving the problem of poor wear adaptability of wearable devices in the related art. After the length of the connecting band 200 is adjusted, the damping member 330 can be placed in the first position to fix the second end of the connecting band 200 so that the wearable device can be worn stably.

[0034] In one embodiment, the damping member 330 may be a friction plate. When the damping member 330 is in the first position, the friction plate directly rubs against the second end of the connecting band 200 to achieve damping. In this case, the friction between the friction plate and the second end of the connecting band 200 can secure the second end of the connecting band 200. Specifically, there may be two friction plates, each forming a fixed space. When both friction plates directly rub against the second end of the connecting band 200, the second end of the connecting band 200 is secured within the fixed space formed by the two friction plates. Of course, the friction plate can cooperate with the housing 310 to form a fixed space. When the friction plate directly rubs against the second end of the connecting band 200, the second end of the connecting band 200 is secured within the fixed space formed by the friction plate and the housing 310.

[0035] Of course, when the damping member 330 is in the second position, the friction plate is separated from the second end of the connecting belt 200, thereby releasing the damping. In this case, the connecting belt 200 will not be restricted by the friction plate and can enter and exit the housing 310 through the through hole.

[0036] Of course, there are many ways to achieve damping engagement between the damping member 330 and the second end of the connecting strap 200, which are not limited by the embodiments of the present application. In other embodiments, the tension adjustment device 300 may further include a rotating member 320. The rotating member 320 may be disposed within the housing 310 and rotatable within the housing 310, and the second end of the connecting strap 200 may be transmission-connected to the rotating member 320. When the damping member 330 is in the first position, the damping member 330 abuts against the rotating member 320 to achieve damping engagement with the second end of the connecting strap 200 by fixing the rotating member 320. In other words, the damping member 330 indirectly achieves damping engagement with the second end of the connecting strap 200 through damping engagement with the rotating member 320. The damping member 330 also indirectly secures the second end of the connecting strap 200 by fixing the rotating member 320 through damping engagement with the rotating member 320.

[0037] When the damping member 330 is in the second position, the damping member 330 is separated from the rotating member 320 to separate from the second end of the connecting belt 200. The rotation of the rotating member 320 can drive part of the connecting belt 200 into and out of the housing 310 through the through hole.

[0038] The wearable device disclosed in the embodiment of the present application is configured such that the tension adjustment device 300 includes a rotating member 320, so that the rotating member 320 can be disposed within the shell 310, and the second end of the connecting band 200 can be transmission-connected to the rotating member 320. Thus, when the damping member 330 is in the second position, a portion of the connecting band 200 is driven to pass through the through hole in and out of the shell 310 by rotating the rotating member 320, thereby making it more convenient for a portion of the connecting band 200 to pass through the through hole in and out of the shell 310. In addition, operating the rotating member 310 is also easier than operating the second end of the connecting band 200.

[0039] Optionally, the damping member 330 may have a concave surface 332, which may be an arc-shaped concave surface. When the damping member 330 is in the first position, the concave surface 332 may be in contact with the circumferential surface of the rotating member 320. When the damping member 330 is in the second position, the concave surface 332 may be separated from the circumferential surface of the rotating member 320.

[0040] The wearable device disclosed in the embodiment of the present application sets a concave surface 332 on the damping member 330, so that when the damping member 330 is in the first position, the concave surface 332 can fit with the circumferential surface of the rotating member 320, thereby making the fitting area between the damping member 330 and the rotating member 320 larger, thereby achieving better damping cooperation, and then making the rotating member 320 better maintained in a fixed position, thereby preventing the second end of the connecting belt 200 from moving.

[0041] Optionally, there may be two damping members 330, each of which may be disposed on opposite sides of the rotating member 320. By providing two damping members 330, the two damping members 330 can be disposed on opposite sides of the rotating member 320. Consequently, when the damping members 330 are in the first position, the two damping members 330 contact the rotating member 320 together, thereby effectively maintaining the rotating member 320 in a fixed position and preventing the second end of the connecting strap 200 from moving. Furthermore, the damping force on the rotating member 320 can be more evenly distributed.

[0042] Optionally, the connecting belt 200 may include a flexible section 210 and a rigid section 220. The flexible section 210 may be connected between the rigid section 220 and the device body 100 to ensure the deformation ability of the connecting belt 200. The rigid section 220 is located at the second end of the connecting belt 200. The rigid section 220 has sufficient rigidity to ensure that it does not deform during damping cooperation. The rigid section 220 may be provided with a bar transmission hole 221. The length direction of the bar transmission hole 221 may be consistent with the length direction of the connecting belt 200. The edge of the bar transmission hole 221 along its length direction may be a rack edge. The rotating part 320 may include a gear 321. The gear 321 may be located in the bar transmission hole 221 and mesh with the rack edge. When the damping member 330 is in the second position, the rotation of the rotating member 320 can drive the gear 321 to rotate, and the gear 321 engages with the rack-shaped edge of the bar-shaped transmission hole 221 to drive the rigid section 220 to move, thereby enabling the second end of the connecting belt 200 to enter and exit the shell 310 through the through hole.

[0043] The wearable device disclosed in the embodiment of the present application is configured such that the connecting band 200 includes a flexible section 210 and a rigid section 220, so that the flexible section 210 can improve the fit of the wearable device when worn, and the rigid section 220 can be provided with a strip-shaped transmission hole 221, and the edge of the strip-shaped transmission hole 221 along its length direction is a rack-shaped edge, so that the rack-shaped edge can be engaged with the gear 321 of the rotating member 320, so that when the damping member 330 is in the second position, the rotation of the rotating member 320 can drive the gear 321 to rotate, and the gear 321 engages with the rack-shaped edge of the strip-shaped transmission hole 221 to drive the rigid section 220 to move, thereby enabling the second end of the connecting band 200 to pass through the through hole and enter and exit the housing 310. This matching method is achieved through meshing, which can ensure that a certain amount of bite damping is provided when mating, thereby avoiding the second end of the connecting band 200 from sliding too flexibly during the adjustment process. At the same time, this meshing matching method can also assist the damping member 330 in playing a damping role.

[0044] Furthermore, the rigid section 220 can be a metal structural member, and the rigid section 220 can be connected to the flexible section 210 by injection molding. By configuring the rigid section 220 as a metal structural member, the strength of the rigid section 220 can be increased. By connecting the rigid section 220 and the flexible section 210 by injection molding, the connection of the connecting belt 200 at the transitional connection between the rigid section 220 and the flexible section 210 is more stable. Specifically, the metal structural member can be a stainless steel structural member, a copper member, or a hard plastic structural member, and the flexible section 210 can be a flexible plastic portion. The embodiments of the present application do not limit the specific materials of the rigid section 220 and the flexible section 210.

[0045] In an optional embodiment, the wearable device may further include a first elastic member 340, which may be connected to the damping member 330 and the housing 310, respectively, and the first elastic member 340 may be used to drive the damping member 330 to move to the first position. The wearable device disclosed in the embodiment of the present application is provided with a first elastic member 340, which is connected to the damping member 330 and the housing 310, respectively, so that the first elastic member 340 drives the damping member 330 to move to the first position, thereby achieving the automatic movement of the damping member 330 to the first position, thereby avoiding the provision of other electric drive components, and further facilitating the low energy consumption design of the wearable device. The first elastic member 340 may be a spring, a rubber elastic member, a metal bending elastic member, etc. The embodiment of the present application does not limit the specific type of the first elastic member 340.

[0046] Optionally, the wearable device may further include a magnetic drive component, which may include a first magnetic component and a second magnetic component respectively connected to the damping component 330 and the shell 310. The magnetic cooperation between the first magnetic component and the second magnetic component can drive the damping component 330 to move to the first position.

[0047] The wearable device disclosed in the embodiment of the present application is provided with a magnetic drive component, which is configured to include a first magnetic member and a second magnetic member connected to the damping member 330 and the housing 310, respectively, so that the magnetic cooperation between the first magnetic member and the second magnetic member can drive the damping member 330 to move to the first position, thereby enabling the damping member 330 to automatically move to the first position, avoiding the need to provide other electric drive components, and thus facilitating a low-energy design for the wearable device. At the same time, the cooperation between the first magnetic member and the second magnetic member is contactless, and the two do not need to be directly connected, thereby avoiding the problem of complex connection mechanisms of the wearable device caused by the connection.

[0048] Of course, the wearable device may include a linear motor, an electrostrictive element, etc., to replace the first elastic element 340 or the magnetic drive component mentioned above.

[0049] In an optional embodiment, the tension adjustment device 300 may further include a button 350, which may be slidably disposed on the housing 310. The damping member 330 may have a first inclined surface 331, and the button 350 may have a second inclined surface 351, with the first inclined surface 331 and the second inclined surface 351 being in contact with each other. When the button 350 is pressed, the first inclined surface 331 and the second inclined surface 351 cooperate to move the damping member 330 to the second position.

[0050] The wearable device disclosed in the embodiment of the present application is provided with a button 350, which makes it more convenient to drive the damping member 330 to move to the second position. By cooperating with the second inclined surface 351 of the button 350 and the first inclined surface 331 of the damping member 330, when the button 350 is pressed, not only can the damping member 330 be driven to move to the second position, but the movement of the button 350 when pressed is also relatively smoother.

[0051] In an optional embodiment, the tension adjustment device 300 may further include a second elastic member 360, which may be disposed between the button 350 and the housing 310. The second elastic member 360 may be used to drive the button 350 to move in a direction opposite to the pressing direction. The wearable device disclosed in the embodiment of the present application is provided with a second elastic member 360, so that the second elastic member 360 can be disposed between the button 350 and the housing 310, thereby enabling the second elastic member 360 to drive the button 350 to move in a direction opposite to the pressing direction, thereby achieving automatic reset of the button 350 after being pressed and released. Similarly, the second elastic member 360 may be a spring, a rubber elastic member, a metal bending elastic member, etc. The embodiment of the present application does not limit the specific type of the second elastic member 360.

[0052] Optionally, the button 350 may further be provided with a strip-shaped avoidance hole 352, through which the rotating shaft 322 of the rotating member 320 may pass. The strip-shaped avoidance hole 352 slidably engages with the rotating shaft 322, and the extending direction of the strip-shaped avoidance hole 352 is consistent with the pressing direction of the button 350. By providing the strip-shaped avoidance hole 352 on the button 350, the rotating shaft 322 of the rotating member 320 may pass through the strip-shaped avoidance hole 352, thereby making the layout of the button 350 and the rotating member 320 more compact. At the same time, the strip-shaped avoidance hole 352 helps to provide auxiliary restraint for the rotating shaft 322, thereby improving the stability of the installation of the rotating shaft 322.

[0053] In an optional embodiment, the damping member 330 may include a first guide rail 333, and a second guide rail 311 may be provided in the shell 310. The damping member 330 can switch between the first position and the second position relative to the shell 310 through the guiding cooperation between the first guide rail 333 and the second guide rail 311.

[0054] The wearable device disclosed in the embodiment of the present application is configured such that the damping member 330 includes a first guide rail 333, and a second guide rail 311 can be provided in the shell 310, so that the damping member 330 can switch between the first position and the second position relative to the shell 310 through the guiding cooperation between the first guide rail 333 and the second guide rail 311, thereby making the switching of the damping member 330 between the first position and the second position more stable.

[0055] The switching of the damping member 330 between the first position and the second position can be achieved through a driving mechanism, such as a driving motor, etc. Of course, the switching of the damping member 330 between the first position and the second position can also be achieved through manual drive, and no specific restrictions are made here.

[0056] As described above, the tension adjustment device 300 is connected to the device body 100. Specifically, the first end of the connecting belt 200 is connected to one end of the device body 100, and the tension adjustment device 300 is connected to the other end of the device body 100. The tension adjustment device 300, the connecting belt 200 and the device body 100 can enclose a wearing space. In other embodiments, the wearable device may further include a control device 400, the device body 100 may include a display component, and the control device 400 may be connected to the display component to control the display of the display component. In this case, Figure 1 As shown, the first end portion of the connecting belt 200 can be indirectly connected to the device body 100 by being connected to the control device 400 .

[0057] Optionally, the housing 310 may include a first housing member 301 and a second housing member 302, which may be detachably connected. This allows components such as the rotating member 320 and the rotating shaft 322 to be assembled into the first housing member 301 and / or the second housing member 302 before the first housing member 301 and the second housing member 302 are connected. This arrangement facilitates assembly of components within the housing 310. Specifically, the first housing member 301 and the second housing member 302 may be detachably connected via a snap-fit ​​connection, a connector connection, or the like. This application does not limit the specific detachable connection method between the first housing member 301 and the second housing member 302.

[0059] The above embodiments of the present invention focus on the differences between the various embodiments. As long as the different optimization features of the various embodiments are not contradictory, they can be combined to form a better embodiment. Considering the simplicity of the text, they will not be repeated here.

[0060] The embodiments of the present invention are described above in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, but the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned specific implementation methods. The above-mentioned specific implementation methods are merely illustrative and not restrictive. Under the guidance of the present invention, ordinary technicians in this field can also make many forms without departing from the scope of protection of the present invention and the claims, all of which are protected by the present invention.
