Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of wearable device technology, and more particularly to a wearable device. Background Technology
[0002] With the development of technology, smartwatches, as a type of smart wearable device, now not only offer multiple sports modes but also include features such as all-day heart rate monitoring, comprehensive activity tracking, sleep monitoring, message reminders, and financial payments. Consequently, the usage scenarios for smartwatches have become richer and more challenging. As a result, users' demands for wearing comfort with smartwatches have gradually increased.
[0003] Currently, wearable devices generally consist of a main body and a strap connected to the main body. The main body provides display and interactive functions and is worn on the user's wrist via the strap. In existing wearable devices, the strap is typically detachable from the main body at least at one end to facilitate the wearing and removal of the watch. This can be achieved by using a mounting bracket on the strap or by using a button between the main body and the strap for installation and removal.
[0004] However, the existing methods of assembling and disassembling watch straps have significant aesthetic limitations and are cumbersome for users. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The main objective of this invention is to provide a wearable device that allows for the removal and installation of watch straps without any disassembly or assembly medium, overcoming the limitations of the appearance and user experience of existing wearable devices, and is simple and easy to use.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a wearable device, comprising: a device body, a watch strap, a buckle assembly, and a reset assembly. The buckle assembly includes a hook disposed at the end of the watch strap. The device body has an opening on its side, and the opening has a slot. The hook is hooked into the slot and moves within the slot.
[0007] The reset component is disposed in the opening. The reset component includes a reset hook and a limiting groove. The reset hook is configured such that when the latch moves to the first preset position, the reset hook moves along the limiting area of the limiting groove and is locked on the limiting wall of the limiting groove; when the latch moves to the second preset position, the reset hook releases the limiting wall of the limiting groove and pushes the latch to disengage from the latch groove.
[0008] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: The buckle and reset components facilitate strap insertion and ensure reliable strap assembly by securing the strap. The reset component ejects the strap, separating the strap buckle from the wearable device's mating components. This invention transforms the vertical insertion of the strap into the horizontal movement of the reset component. This conversion reduces the structural space of the wearable device, making it suitable for compact wearable device designs. It achieves strap assembly and disassembly without any disassembly or assembly medium, overcoming the limitations of traditional wearable devices in terms of appearance and user experience, and is simple and easy to use.
[0009] Based on the above technical solution, the present invention can be further improved as follows.
[0010] In some alternative implementations, there is an angle between the direction of movement of the reset hook and the direction of movement of the catch hook.
[0011] In some alternative implementations, the limiting groove is connected to the slot, one end of the reset hook moves within the limiting groove, and the other end of the reset hook extends into the slot and abuts against the slot hook.
[0012] In some optional embodiments, the reset assembly further includes a reset elastic element, one end of which is connected to the side wall of the limiting groove, and the other end of which is connected to the reset hook.
[0013] When the reset hook is engaged with the limiting wall of the limiting groove, the reset elastic element is in a stretched state.
[0014] In some alternative implementations, the reset assembly further includes a pusher located within a slot;
[0015] The pusher has a connecting end and a pushing end. The connecting end is connected to the end of the reset hook. The pushing end is provided with a protrusion that protrudes from the side wall of the pusher. The hook of the latch is hooked onto the protrusion. The pusher is configured to move within the latch groove, while the pusher moves the reset hook along the limiting area of the limiting groove.
[0016] In some alternative embodiments, the reset assembly further includes a movable member having a connecting portion and a sliding portion connected to each other, and a reset hook and a reset elastic member are respectively connected to opposite sides of the connecting portion of the movable member;
[0017] The pusher is provided with a sliding groove, the sliding part matches the sliding groove, and slides along the length of the sliding groove;
[0018] There is an angle between the length direction of the sliding groove and the length direction of the pushing member.
[0019] In some alternative implementations, the actuating element is an elastic sheet;
[0020] When the hook disengages from the protrusion, the protrusion is bent and located outside the slot, so that the height of the side of the protrusion facing the hook is lower than that of the hook.
[0021] In some alternative embodiments, the latch includes a body and a latch portion connected to each other, the body being connected to the end of the watch strap, a portion of the body protruding from the end face of the watch strap and extending toward the latch groove;
[0022] The hook extends along the side wall facing away from the main body.
[0023] In some alternative implementations, the thickness of the hook portion is greater than the thickness of the portion of the body that protrudes from the end face of the strap, along the thickness direction of the device body.
[0024] In some optional embodiments, a limiting block is provided in the limiting groove, and a limiting space is formed between the limiting surface of the limiting block and the groove wall of the limiting groove;
[0025] The limiting block divides the limiting groove into a first limiting area and a second limiting area. The reset hook is configured to engage with the limiting surface of the limiting block when it moves to the first limiting area; or to release the limiting surface of the limiting block and move within the second limiting area.
[0026] The wearable device provided by the present invention includes: a device body, a watch strap, a buckle assembly and a reset assembly. The buckle assembly includes a hook, which is disposed at the end of the watch strap. The device body has an opening on the side, and the opening has a slot. The hook is hooked into the slot and moves within the slot.
[0027] The reset component is disposed in the opening. The reset component includes a reset hook and a limiting groove. The reset hook is configured such that when the latch moves to the first preset position, the reset hook moves along the limiting area of the limiting groove and is locked on the limiting wall of the limiting groove; when the latch moves to the second preset position, the reset hook releases the limiting wall of the limiting groove and pushes the latch to disengage from the latch groove.
[0028] By incorporating a snap-fit assembly and a reset assembly, the snap hook facilitates strap insertion and secures the strap, ensuring reliable assembly. The reset assembly ejects the strap, separating the snap-fit from the wearable device's components. This invention transforms the vertical insertion of the strap into the horizontal movement of the reset assembly. This conversion reduces the structural space of the wearable device, making it suitable for compact wearable device designs. It achieves strap assembly and disassembly without any disassembly or assembly medium, overcoming the limitations of traditional wearable devices in terms of appearance and user experience, and offering simple and easy operation.

[0064] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention. In the absence of conflict, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.
[0065] In this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "linking," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components, unless otherwise explicitly limited. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention according to the specific circumstances.
[0066] In this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can mean that the first feature is in direct contact with the second feature, or that the first feature is in indirect contact with the second feature through an intermediate medium. Furthermore, "above," "over," and "on top" of the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature.

In this specification, the illustrative expressions of the above terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Furthermore, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or examples. Moreover, without contradiction, those skilled in the art can combine and integrate the different embodiments or examples described in this specification, as well as the features of different embodiments or examples.
[0068] Figure 1 This is a structural diagram of a wearable device in the prior art. Figure 2This is a schematic diagram of the structure of another wearable device in the prior art. (Example) Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, wearable devices generally include a main body 110 and a watch strap 120 connected to the main body 110. The main body 110 provides display and interactive functions and is worn on the user's wrist via the watch strap 120. In existing wearable devices, the watch strap 120 is typically detached from the main body 110 at least at one end to facilitate the wearing and removal of the watch. This can be achieved by having a hanging bracket on the watch strap 120, or by using a button between the main body 110 and the watch strap 120 for installation and removal. However, existing methods of installing and removing the watch strap 120 have significant aesthetic limitations and are cumbersome for users. Specifically, for example... Figure 1 As shown, the 120 watch band requires four mounting points, which significantly restricts its appearance. Users need to use a lever to detach and install it, making the operation somewhat inconvenient. Figure 2 As shown, the watch strap 120 is fixed inside the main body 110 of the device, but a button is required as a means of removal and installation. The watch strap 120 can only be removed by pressing the button. The button-type solution destroys the overall appearance of the watch and limits the development of watch industrial design.
[0069] To overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies, the wearable device provided by this invention features a buckle assembly and a reset assembly. The buckle facilitates the insertion of the watch strap and secures it, ensuring reliable assembly. The reset assembly ejects the watch strap, separating the buckle from the wearable device's mating components. This invention utilizes a dual-slide rail design that converts the vertical insertion of the watch strap into the horizontal movement of the reset assembly. This conversion reduces the structural space of the wearable device, making it suitable for compact designs. It achieves watch strap assembly and disassembly without any disassembly or assembly medium, overcoming the limitations of previous wearable devices in terms of appearance and user experience, and offering simple and easy operation.
[0070] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, so that those skilled in the art can have a clearer and more detailed understanding of the present invention.

Figure 6 This is a third-view structural diagram of a wearable device before the watch strap is installed, provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram showing the state of the watchband reset component before installation in a wearable device provided in this application embodiment. Figure 8This is a schematic diagram of the state of the watchband pre-installation reset component in the limiting groove in the wearable device provided in the embodiments of this application.
[0072] like Figures 3 to 8 As shown, this application embodiment provides a wearable device 100, including: a device body 110, a watch strap 120, a buckle assembly 130, and a reset assembly 140. The buckle assembly 130 includes a hook 131, which is disposed at the end of the watch strap 120. The device body 110 has an opening on its side, and the opening of the device body 110 has a slot 111. The hook 131 is hooked into the slot 111 and moves within the slot 111.
[0073] The wearable device 100 provided in this application embodiment can be a wearable watch, but it can also be other devices, and no further restrictions are imposed here.
[0074] In some examples, hook 131 may be a metal part, and its material may include one or more of copper, iron, aluminum, tin, and lead.
[0075] In other examples, the hook 131 may also be made of plastic. During injection molding, molten plastic is injected into a plastic product mold under pressure, and then cooled and solidified to obtain the desired plastic part.
[0076] It should be noted that the specific material of the hook 131 is not limited in this embodiment of the invention.
[0077] In some embodiments, the end of the watch strap 120 has a mounting opening, and the hook 131 is detachably mounted on the mounting opening, such as by bolts, buckles, or hanging connections. Specifically, the embodiments described in this application are not limited in detail here.
[0078] It should be noted that when the user holds the watch strap 120 and pushes the watch strap 120 toward the main body of the device 110, the hook 131 gradually approaches the slot 111 and finally snaps into the slot 111 and moves within the slot 111.
[0079] Figure 9 This is a first-view structural diagram of the wearable device after the watch strap is installed, provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 10 This is a cross-sectional view of the wearable device with the watch strap installed, provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 11 This is a second-view structural diagram of the wearable device after the watch strap is installed, provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 12 This is a schematic diagram showing the state of the watchband reset component after installation in a wearable device provided in an embodiment of this application.
[0080] Figure 13 This is a schematic diagram showing the state of the watchband reset component in the limiting groove after installation in the wearable device provided in the embodiments of this application.
[0081] like Figures 3 to 13 As shown, the reset assembly 140 is disposed in the opening. The reset assembly 140 includes a reset hook 141 and a limiting groove 142. The reset hook 141 is configured such that when the latch 131 moves to the first preset position, the reset hook 141 moves along the limiting area of the limiting groove 142 and is locked onto the limiting wall of the limiting groove 142; when the latch 131 moves to the second preset position, the reset hook 141 releases the limiting wall of the limiting groove 142 and pushes the latch 131 away from the latch groove 111.
[0082] Understandably, when the user holds the watch strap 120 and pushes it towards the device body 110, the hook 131 engages with the slot 111, and when it moves to the first preset position, the reset hook 141 is pushed to move along the limiting area of the limiting groove 142 and engages with the limiting wall of the limiting groove 142. At this point, the watch strap 120 is installed on the device body 110. (Refer to...) Figures 10 to 13 .
[0083] Figure 14 This is a schematic diagram of the first process of removing the watch strap in a wearable device provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 15 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the second process of removing the watch strap in a wearable device provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 16 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a wearable device after the watch strap has been removed, as provided in an embodiment of this application.
[0084] refer to Figures 14 to 16 Next, when it is necessary to remove the watch strap 120, the user holds the watch strap 120 and continues to push the hook 131 until the hook 131 moves to the second preset position. At this time, the hook 131 continues to push the reset hook 141, so that the reset hook 141 releases the limit wall of the limit groove 142 and pushes the hook 131 out of the slot 111.
[0085] In some examples, the reset hook 141 may be a metal part, and its material may include one or more of copper, iron, aluminum, tin, and lead.
[0086] In other examples, the reset hook 141 may also be made of plastic. During injection molding, molten plastic is injected into a plastic product mold under pressure, and then cooled and solidified to obtain the desired plastic part.
[0087] It should be noted that the specific material of the reset hook 141 is not subject to further restrictions in this embodiment of the invention.
[0088] It should be noted that the first and second preset positions are pre-set positions, and can be adjusted according to the actual situation.
[0089] In addition, it should be noted that along the length of the card slot 111, the depth of the second preset position of the card slot 111 is greater than the depth of the first preset position.
[0090] Through the aforementioned configuration, namely the buckle assembly 130 and the reset assembly 140, the hook 131 facilitates the insertion of the watch strap 120 and secures the watch strap 120 to ensure reliable assembly. The reset assembly 140 ejects the watch strap 120, separating the buckle from the wearable device 100's mating components. This invention utilizes a dual-slide rail design to convert the vertical insertion of the watch strap 120 into the horizontal movement of the reset assembly 140. This conversion of the vertical movement of the button into the horizontal movement of the reset assembly 140 reduces the structural space of the wearable device 100, making it suitable for compact wearable device designs. It achieves watch strap 120 assembly and disassembly without any disassembly or assembly medium, overcoming the limitations of the original wearable device 100's appearance and user experience, and offering simple and easy operation.
[0091] It should be noted that the two slide rails refer to: the rail on which the hook 131 is hooked into the slot 111 and moves within the slot 111; and the rail on which the reset hook 141 moves horizontally along the limiting area of the limiting slot 142.
[0092] In some alternative embodiments, there is an angle between the direction of movement of the reset hook 141 and the direction of movement of the catch hook 131.
[0093] It should be noted that the vertical insertion action of the hook 131 can be converted into the horizontal movement of the reset hook 141.
[0094] In some embodiments, the moving direction of the reset hook 141 is perpendicular to the moving direction of the latch 131.
[0095] like Figures 3 to 16 As shown, in some optional embodiments, the limiting groove 142 is connected to the slot 111, one end of the reset hook 141 moves in the limiting groove 142, and the other end of the reset hook 141 extends into the slot 111 and abuts against the hook 131.
[0096] It should be noted that when the hook 131 moves within the slot 111, it pushes the reset hook 141 to move within the limiting slot 142 until it is locked onto the limiting wall of the limiting slot 142, or the reset hook 141 releases its restriction from the limiting wall of the limiting slot 142 and pushes the hook 131 away from the slot 111.
[0097] In some optional embodiments, the reset assembly 140 further includes a reset elastic element 143, one end of which is connected to the side wall of the limiting groove 142, and the other end of which is connected to the reset hook 141.
[0098] When the reset hook 141 is engaged with the limiting wall of the limiting groove 142, the reset elastic element 143 is in a stretched state.
[0099] Understandably, when the watch strap 120 needs to be installed, the user pushes the hook 131 on the watch strap 120, which engages with the slot 111 and moves to the first preset position within the slot 111. At this time, the hook 131 continuously pushes the reset hook 141 to move. The reset hook 141 moves along the limiting area of the limiting groove 142, and the reset elastic element 143 connected to the reset hook 141 is gradually stretched. (Refer to...) Figure 12 The reset elastic element 143 here is gradually stretched until the reset hook 141 is engaged with the limiting wall of the limiting groove 142, thus completing the installation of the watch strap 120.
[0100] When the watch strap 120 needs to be removed, the user continues to push the hook 131 on the watch strap 120, and the reset elastic element 143 is stretched again. The hook 131 keeps pushing the reset hook 141 to move. The reset hook 141 moves along the limiting area of the limiting groove 142 and gradually disengages from the limiting wall of the limiting groove 142. That is, the reset hook 141 is released from the limiting wall of the limiting groove 142. At this time, under the action of the elastic force, the reset elastic element 143 drives the reset hook 141 to move in the opposite direction to when the watch strap 120 was installed. The movement of the reset hook 141 further pushes the hook 131 to move in the slot 111 until the hook 131 disengages from the slot 111. At this time, the watch strap 120 is away from the main body 110 of the device.
[0101] In some alternative embodiments, the reset assembly 140 further includes a pusher 144 located within the slot 111;
[0102] The pusher 144 has a connecting end and a pushing end. The connecting end is connected to the end of the reset hook 141. The pushing end is provided with a protrusion 1441, which protrudes from the side wall of the pusher 144. The hook of the latch 131 is hooked onto the protrusion 1441. The pusher 144 is configured to move within the latch groove 111, while the pusher pushes the reset hook 141 to move along the limiting area of the limiting groove 142.
[0103] It should be noted that the design of the pusher 144 ensures a more stable force transmission between the reset hook 141 and the latch 131.
[0104] The connecting end and the pushing end are interconnected, and the connecting end is detachably mounted on the end of the reset hook 141, such as by bolts, clips, or hanging connections. Specifically, this application embodiment will not impose further limitations.
[0105] It should be noted that as the hook 131 gradually approaches the slot 111, it engages with the protrusion 1441 on the pushing end to satisfy the hook 131 engaging with the slot 111. When the hook of the hook 131 is engaged with the protrusion 1441, the user continues to push the hook 131, causing the hook 131 to continue pushing the pushing member 144, causing the pushing member 144 to move within the slot 111. Consequently, the connecting end of the pushing member 144 drives the reset hook 141 to move within the limiting area until the hook 131 moves to the first preset position. At this point, the reset hook 141 is engaged with the limiting wall of the limiting groove 142, completing the installation of the watch strap 120.
[0106] Accordingly, as the user continues to push the hook 131, the hook 131 continues to push the pusher 144, causing the pusher 144 to move within the slot 111. This causes the connecting end of the pusher 144 to move the reset hook 141 within the limiting area until the hook 131 moves to the second preset position. At this point, the reset hook 141 releases its limitation from the limiting wall of the limiting slot 142. Under the elastic force of the reset elastic member 143, the reset hook 141 is pulled back. The reset hook 141 then pushes the pusher 144 to move again. The movement of the pusher 144 causes the hook 131 to move and finally disengage from the slot 111, completing the disassembly of the watch strap 120.
[0107] In some alternative embodiments, the reset assembly 140 further includes a movable member 145, which has a connecting portion and a sliding portion connected to each other, and a reset hook 141 and a reset elastic member 143 are respectively connected to opposite sides of the connecting portion of the movable member 145.
[0108] The pusher 144 is provided with a sliding groove 1442, the sliding part matches the sliding groove 1442 and slides along the length direction of the sliding groove 1442;
[0109] There is an angle between the length direction of the sliding groove 1442 and the length direction of the pusher 144.
[0110] It should be noted that the movable part 145 is designed to ensure the stability of the installation of the reset hook 141 and the reset elastic element 143, so that both the reset hook 141 and the reset elastic element 143 are installed on the movable part 145. On the other hand, the force on the pushing member 144 can be transmitted to the reset hook 141 and the reset elastic element 143 through the movable part 145, or the force on the reset hook 141 and the reset elastic element 143 can be transmitted to the pushing member 144 through the movable part 145. In other words, the stability of the force transmission between them is satisfied, making the reset assembly 140 more stable during movement.
[0111] It should be noted that the sliding part can extend into the sliding groove 1442 and slide along the length of the sliding groove 1442. Specifically, the hook 131 engages with the protrusion 1441. Pushing the hook 131 pushes the pusher 144, which moves along the groove 111. As a result, the sliding groove 1442 moves with the pusher 144, causing the sliding part extending into the sliding groove 1442 to move along the sliding groove 1442. This, in turn, drives the connecting part to move, and finally drives the reset hook 141 to move along the limiting area of the limiting groove 142. At this time, the reset elastic member 143 is stretched.
[0112] In some alternative implementations, the pusher 144 is an elastic sheet;
[0113] When the hook 131 disengages from the protrusion 1441, the protrusion 1441 is bent and located outside the slot 111, so that the height of the side of the protrusion 1441 facing the hook 131 is lower than that of the hook 131.
[0114] Understandably, the protrusion 1441 is bent to allow the hook 131 to better engage with it, making it more suitable for the compact wearable device 100.
[0115] It should be noted that when the hook 131 engages with the protrusion 1441, it pushes the protrusion 1441 to move. As the protrusion 1441 moves within the slot 111, it is adjusted from a bent state to a straight state.
[0116] In some alternative embodiments, the hook 131 includes a body 1311 and a hook portion 1312 connected to each other. The body 1311 is connected to the end of the watch strap 120, and a portion of the body 1311 protrudes from the end face of the watch strap 120 and extends toward the slot 111.
[0117] The hook portion 1312 extends along the side wall surface opposite to the main body 1311.
[0118] It should be noted that the extension direction of the hook portion 1312 is opposite to the extension direction of the protrusion 1441, which can satisfy the engagement between the hook portion 1312 and the protrusion 1441.
[0119] In some embodiments, a snap-fit space is formed between the body 1311 and the hook portion 1312, and the protrusion 1441 can be snapped into the snap-fit space.
[0120] In some embodiments, the body 1311 and the hook portion 1312 can be integrally molded, which can not only improve the connection strength between the body 1311 and the hook portion 1312, but also achieve a seamless connection between the body 1311 and the hook portion 1312, thereby reducing the risk of cracking at the connection position of the body 1311 and the hook portion 1312.
[0121] Of course, in other embodiments, the body 1311 and the hook portion 1312 can also be connected in other ways. As long as the connection method can connect the body 1311 and the hook portion 1312, the purpose of this embodiment can be achieved. Here, the connection method of the body 1311 and the hook portion 1312 is not limited.
[0122] In some alternative embodiments, along the thickness direction of the device body 110, the thickness of the hook portion 1312 is greater than the thickness of the portion of the body 1311 that protrudes from the end face of the strap 120.
[0123] It should be noted that this design allows for better enclosure of the snap-fit space, making it easier for the protrusion 1441 to snap into the snap-fit space.
[0124] In addition, it should be noted that the thickness of the hook part 1312 and the thickness of the body 1311 can be adjusted according to the actual situation, but no further restrictions are imposed here.
[0125] In some optional embodiments, a limiting block 1421 is provided in the limiting groove 142, and a limiting space is formed between the limiting surface of the limiting block 1421 and the groove wall of the limiting groove 142.
[0126] The limiting block 1421 divides the limiting groove 142 into a first limiting area and a second limiting area. The reset hook 141 is configured to engage with the limiting surface of the limiting block 1421 when it moves to the first limiting area; or to release the limiting surface of the limiting block 1421 and move within the second limiting area.
[0127] It is understandable that the first limiting area and the second limiting area have a partially overlapping area. The reset hook 141 is moved to the limiting space by the moving member 145 and finally engages with the limiting surface of the limiting block 1421. At this time, the moving member 145 is pushed to make the reset hook 141 disengage from the limiting surface of the limiting block 1421 and then disengage from the limiting surface. Under the elastic force of the reset elastic member 143, it returns to its original state along the second limiting area.
[0128] The wearable device provided in this application includes: a device body, a watch strap, a buckle assembly, and a reset assembly. The buckle assembly includes a hook disposed at the end of the watch strap. The device body has an opening on its side, and the opening has a slot. The hook is hooked into the slot and moves within the slot. The reset assembly is disposed within the opening and includes a reset hook and a limiting groove. The reset hook is configured such that when the hook moves to a first preset position, the reset hook moves along the limiting area of the limiting groove and is engaged with the limiting wall of the limiting groove. When the hook moves to a second preset position, the reset hook releases the limiting wall of the limiting groove and pushes the hook away from the slot.
[0129] By incorporating a snap-fit assembly and a reset assembly, the snap hook facilitates strap insertion and secures the strap, ensuring reliable assembly. The reset assembly ejects the strap, separating the snap-fit from the wearable device's components. This invention utilizes a dual-slide rail design to convert the vertical insertion of the strap into the horizontal movement of the reset assembly. This conversion reduces the structural space of the wearable device, making it suitable for compact designs. It achieves strap assembly and disassembly without any intermediaries, overcoming the limitations of traditional wearable devices in terms of appearance and user experience, and offering simple and easy operation.
