Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of fastening belts, and more specifically, to a fastening belt, a method for manufacturing the fastening belt, and a wearable device. Background Art
[0002] Wearable devices mainly include smart watches, smart bracelets, smart glasses, pedometers, etc. As the user usage scenarios expand, the functions integrated in wearable devices are gradually increasing. In addition to functions such as sleep monitoring, heart rate monitoring, blood sugar monitoring, blood oxygen monitoring, sedentary reminders, and medication reminders for monitoring user physical indicators, there are also functions such as air pressure monitoring, temperature monitoring, light monitoring, and coordinate monitoring for monitoring the usage environment. This requires the installation of various functional components on wearable devices, which puts higher requirements on the component layout design inside wearable devices.
[0003] At present, the industry usually sets all functional components inside the device housing, which makes the volume of the device housing continue to increase and cannot adapt to the development trend of lightweight wearable devices. Summary of the invention
[0004] The purpose of the present application is to provide a fastening belt, a method for manufacturing a fastening belt, and a wearable device, wherein the fastening belt can transfer one or more functional elements originally arranged in a device housing from the device housing to the fastening belt, thereby reducing the space occupied by the functional elements on the device housing while ensuring that the wearable device has rich and diverse functions, thereby making the device housing thinner and lighter, thereby meeting the development trend of thinner and lighter wearable devices.
[0005] In a first aspect, the present application provides a fastening band for a wearable device, the fastening band comprising a base and a functional element.
[0006] The base body comprises a first belt body and a second belt body which are spliced with each other. The first belt body and the second belt body are arranged to form an installation space. The second belt body has an installation hole which is communicated with the installation space.
[0007] The functional element includes a data transmission component and a collection module. The data transmission component is arranged in the installation space, and one end of the data transmission component is connected to the collection module, and the other end is exposed to the base and is used to connect to the data processing module. The collection module is arranged in the installation hole, and a side surface on the collection module leaks outward through the installation hole.
[0008] The fastening strap provided in the present application can conveniently arrange the functional elements in the installation space enclosed by the first strap body and the second strap body by designing a first strap body and a second strap body that are spliced with each other, so that one or more functional elements originally arranged in the shell can be transferred from the shell to the fastening strap. On the premise of ensuring that the wearable device has rich functions, the space occupied by the functional elements on the shell is reduced, thereby making the shell lighter and thinner, and at the same time reducing the difficulty of component layout design inside the shell, so that the wearable device using the fastening strap in the present application has a better user experience and decorative effect.
[0009] In a possible design, the first belt body and the second belt body are bonded together by a sealant.
[0010] The waterproof sealing of the fastening belt is ensured to avoid damage to the data transmission parts. At the same time, the sealant bonding has the advantages of easy implementation and reliable sealing.
[0011] In a possible design, a sealing ring or a sealing adhesive is provided between the peripheral wall of the collection module and the hole wall of the mounting hole.
[0012] Ensure the waterproof seal of the fastening strap to avoid damage to the acquisition module.
[0013] In a possible design, the data transmission element includes a wire or a flexible printed circuit board.
[0014] Wires or flexible circuit boards can be purchased directly from standard products on the market without the need for customized processing, which can save related design and manufacturing costs.
[0015] In addition, both the wires and the flexible circuit boards have bendable flexibility, so when the user bends, folds, twists, etc. the fastening belt, the circuit will not be broken and the functional elements will not fail.
[0016] In a possible design, the parts of the data transmission element at both ends are fixedly connected to the first belt body;
[0017] And or, parts of the data transmission element at both ends are fixedly connected to the second belt body.
[0018] Only the two ends of the data transmission component are fixed on the base, and the middle part is not connected and fixed, so that the amount of sealant or fasteners used can be reduced, thereby reducing the installation process and cost of the data transmission component. In addition, the middle part of the data transmission component is separated from the base, so that if the fastening belt is bent at a right angle, the data transmission component can be bent in an arc shape in the base, thereby avoiding damage caused by the right angle bending of the data transmission component, thereby improving the data transmission reliability of the data transmission component.
[0019] In a possible design, a cross-sectional area of the installation space is larger than a cross-sectional area of the data transmission element, so that the data transmission element is arranged in a meandering manner in the installation space.
[0020] The cross-sectional area of the installation space is larger than the cross-sectional area of the data transmission component, which can provide a portion of redundant space for deformation of the data transmission component, and the length of the data transmission component is longer than the installation space, so that the data transmission component can be arranged in a winding manner in the installation space, thereby making the data transmission component have a certain stretch margin. When the substrate is stretched and deformed, the winding data transmission component can unfold along the substrate, thereby preventing the data transmission component from being stretched and broken by the substrate, thereby ensuring the data transmission reliability of the data transmission component.
[0021] In a possible design, one end of the data transmission element close to the collection module extends out from the edge of the collection module to form a connecting portion, and the connecting portion is positioned and assembled with the first belt body through a positioning structure.
[0022] After the position of the acquisition module relative to the first belt body is determined, the first belt body and the second belt body are assembled, so that the acquisition module can be smoothly extended into the installation hole, and the assembly process is more convenient and accurate.
[0023] In a possible design, the positioning structure includes a positioning hole and a positioning pin, one of the connecting portion and the first belt body has the positioning hole, and the other is provided with the positioning pin.
[0024] The positioning structure of the positioning hole and the positioning pin can not only accurately position the acquisition module on the first belt body, but also enhance the installation strength of the acquisition module in the installation hole, effectively preventing the acquisition module from falling out of the installation hole.
[0025] In a possible design, the data transmission element is a circuit coating disposed on the second belt body.
[0026] Optionally, the circuit coating may be formed on the second tape by laser direct forming technology; or, the circuit coating may be formed on the second tape by direct pad printing technology.
[0027] In a possible design, one end of the second belt body away from the acquisition module extends out of the edge of the first belt body to form an extension portion, and the circuit coating on the extension portion is connected to the data processing module.
[0028] In a possible design, the circuit coating on the extension portion is connected to the data processing module via a spring clip.
[0029] The spring sheet establishes an electrical connection between the circuit coating and the data processing module in a similar manner to the function of the busbar in the related field. Since there is no need to add a separate assembly structure, the extension part can be directly inserted into the assembly groove provided on the shell so that the spring sheet and the circuit coating can be elastically abutted, thus having the advantages of convenient and quick assembly.
[0030] In a possible design, the circuit coating on the extension portion is connected to the data processing module via a fastener.
[0031] This ensures that the extension portion and the data processing module have better connection strength, ensuring a reliable connection between the circuit coating and the data processing module.
[0032] In a possible design, the extension portion is bent toward the first belt body so that the fastener is installed in the length direction of the base body.
[0033] The extension portion is bent toward the direction of the first belt body, so that the fastener can be installed in the length direction of the base body. The working space of the fastener is on the side of the shell body, and the side originally has an assembly groove for assembling the fastening belt. Therefore, it will not form an obstacle when the fastener is installed, thereby facilitating the installation of the fastener, and has the advantages of high assembly efficiency and low cost.
[0034] In a possible design, the side surface of the collection module that is exposed outwards protrudes from the surface of the second belt body.
[0035] This can ensure that the acquisition module is in close contact with the human skin and avoid a gap between the acquisition module and the human skin.
[0036] In one possible design, the acquisition module is an electrocardiogram electrode.
[0037] In a second aspect, the present application also provides a fastening strap for a wearable device, the fastening strap comprising a base and a functional element.
[0038] The functional elements include a data transmission component and a collection module. The data transmission component is embedded in the interior of the substrate through an in-mold molding process, and one end of the data transmission component is connected to the collection module, and the other end is exposed to the substrate and is used to connect to the data processing module. Part of the collection module is embedded in the interior of the substrate through an in-mold molding process, and one side of the collection module is exposed to the substrate.
[0039] The fastening strap provided in the present application directly embeds the functional element inside the fastening strap through an in-mold forming process, so that the functional element and the fastening strap are combined into one, so that one or more functional elements originally arranged in the shell can be transferred from the shell to the fastening strap. On the premise of ensuring that the wearable device has rich and diverse functions, the space occupied by the functional elements on the shell is reduced, thereby making the shell lighter and thinner. At the same time, the difficulty of component layout design inside the shell is reduced, so that the wearable device using the fastening strap in the present application has a better user experience and decorative effect.
[0040] In addition, the in-mold molding process can ensure the waterproof sealing of the fastening belt, avoid damage to the data transmission components and the acquisition module, and thus increase the service life of the functional components.
[0041] In a possible design, the data transmission element includes a wire or a flexible printed circuit board.
[0042] In a possible design, the substrate has a plurality of first through holes, the data transmission component has a plurality of second through holes corresponding to the first through holes one by one, and the hole walls of the second through holes have an insulating sealing layer covering the data transmission component.
[0043] The data transmission components are arranged in the openings or hollow areas of the fastening belt, so that the layout positions of the data transmission components are more diverse and rich, and are no longer limited to the area of the solid structure, thereby facilitating the structural design.
[0044] In a possible design, the first through hole and the second through hole together constitute a buckle hole or a ventilation hole of the fastening belt.
[0045] In a possible design, the side surface of the collection module that leaks outwards protrudes from the surface of the base.
[0046] In a third aspect, the present application also provides a method for manufacturing a fastening belt, the manufacturing method comprising:
[0047] Providing a functional element, the functional element comprising a data transmission element and a collection module connected to each other;
[0048] Providing a first mold and a second mold, wherein the first mold has a first avoidance groove, and the second mold has a second avoidance groove arranged corresponding to the first avoidance groove;
[0049] The functional element is placed in the space enclosed by the first mold and the second mold, the collection module is supported on the inner bottom wall of the second mold, and the data transmission member extends from the first avoidance groove and the second avoidance groove and is clamped by the groove wall of the first avoidance groove and the groove wall of the second avoidance groove;
[0050] Using an in-mold forming process to arrange a substrate on the outer surface of the functional element;
[0051] After demoulding, a fastening tape is obtained.
[0052] The manufacturing method of the fastening belt provided by the present application directly embeds the functional element inside the fastening belt through the in-mold forming process, so that the functional element and the fastening belt are combined into one, so that one or more functional elements originally set in the shell can be transferred from the shell to the fastening belt, and the space occupied by the functional element on the shell is reduced while ensuring that the wearable device has rich and diverse functions. Therefore, the fastening belt produced by the manufacturing method can make the shell thinner and lighter, so that the wearable device has a better user experience and decorative effect.
[0053] In addition, the in-mold molding process can ensure the waterproof sealing of the fastening belt, avoid damage to the data transmission components and the acquisition module, and thus increase the service life of the functional components.
[0054] In addition, the collection module is supported on the inner bottom wall of the second mold, and the groove wall of the first avoidance groove and the groove wall of the second avoidance groove clamp and fix the data transmission component, so that the molding position of the data transmission component inside the base is accurate.
[0055] In a possible design, the data transmission member has a second through hole, and the first mold has a first molding column; the step of placing the functional element in a space enclosed by the first mold and the second mold further includes:
[0056] The first molding column passes through the second through hole and abuts against the inner bottom wall of the second mold.
[0057] When molding the fastening belt, the first molding column not only serves as the first through hole on the molding base, but also cooperates with the second through hole to position and limit the horizontal position of the data transmission component inside the mold, thereby making the molding position of the data transmission component inside the base more precise.
[0058] In a possible design, the step of obtaining the fastening belt after demoulding includes:
[0059] After demoulding, an insulating sealing layer is pasted or coated on the hole wall of the second through hole to obtain the fastening tape.
[0060] The hole wall of the second through hole has an insulating sealing layer covering the data transmission element, which plays a role in waterproofing and preventing short circuit.
[0061] In a possible design, the data transmission member has a second through hole, the first mold has a first molding column, the first molding column includes a large-section column and a small-section column which are stacked and have a cross-sectional area difference, and the second mold has a second molding column with the same cross-sectional shape as the large-section column; the step of placing the functional element in the space enclosed by the first mold and the second mold further includes:
[0062] The small-section column passes through the second through hole and abuts against the second forming column, and the large-section column and the second forming column clamp a portion of the data transmission component adjacent to the second through hole.
[0063] The small-section column cooperates with the second through hole to position and limit the horizontal position of the data transmission component inside the mold; the large-section column and the second molding column clamp the part of the data transmission component adjacent to the second through hole to position and limit the vertical position of the data transmission component inside the mold. In this way, the data transmission component can be positioned in every direction inside the mold, making the molding position of the data transmission component inside the base more accurate.
[0064] In a possible design, the step of obtaining the fastening belt after demoulding includes:
[0065] After demoulding, the redundant portion of the data transmission member adjacent to the second through hole is punched out and removed;
[0066] An insulating sealing layer is pasted or coated on the hole wall of the punched second through hole to obtain the fastening tape.
[0067] After demoulding, the excess part of the data transmission component adjacent to the second through hole is punched out to ensure the consistency of the inner wall of the hole. At the same time, an insulating sealing layer is pasted or coated on the hole wall of the punched second through hole to ensure the waterproofness and anti-short circuit effect of the inner wall of the hole.
[0068] In a possible design, the inner bottom wall of the second mold has a groove, and the collection module extends into the groove and abuts against the groove wall of the groove.
[0069] The acquisition module formed in this way can protrude from the surface of the substrate, ensuring that the acquisition module is in close contact with the human skin and avoiding a gap between the acquisition module and the human skin.
[0070] In a fourth aspect, the present application also provides a wearable device, comprising a data processing module and any one of the fastening straps described above.

[0109] In the description of the present application, it should be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "side", "inside", "outside", "top", "bottom", etc. indicate orientations or positional relationships based on the installation, and are only for the convenience of describing the present application and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be understood as a limitation on the present application.
[0110] It should also be noted that, in the embodiments of the present application, the same figure mark is used to represent the same component or the same part. For the same parts in the embodiments of the present application, the figure may only mark one of the parts or parts as an example. It should be understood that the figure mark also applies to other identical parts or parts.
[0111] In the description of this application, it should be noted that the term "and / or" is merely a description of the association relationship between associated objects, indicating that three relationships may exist. For example, A and / or B can mean: A exists alone, A and B exist at the same time, and B exists alone.
[0112] With the development of science and technology, wearable electronic products such as smart watches have become popular rapidly, which has greatly promoted the development of society and facilitated people's lives. Smart watches are watches with information processing capabilities and meet the basic timing requirements of watches. In addition to indicating time, smart watches usually have one or more functions such as reminders, navigation, calibration, monitoring, and interaction. Display methods include pointers, numbers, images, etc. Depending on the user groups, smart watches can be divided into several categories, such as adult smart watches, elderly smart watches, and children's smart watches.
[0113] For adult smart watches, they usually include one or more of the following functions: Bluetooth synchronization with mobile phones to make calls, send and receive text messages, monitor sleep, monitor heart rate, provide sedentary reminders, keep running steps, take remote photos, play music, record videos, and have a compass, etc.
[0114] In recent years, in order to meet the needs of different groups of people, adult smart watches can be further divided into male adult smart watches and female adult smart watches. Furthermore, female adult smart watches can be divided into smart watches for pregnant women or smart watches for women in the pregnancy preparation stage.
[0115] Smart watches for the elderly usually include one or more of the following functions: ultra-precise global positioning system (GPS) positioning, family calls, emergency calls, heart rate monitoring, sedentary reminders, medicine reminders, and many other functions customized for the elderly.
[0116] Children's smart watches usually include one or more of the following functions: multiple positioning, two-way calling, SOS, remote monitoring, intelligent anti-lost, historical track, electronic fence, pedometer, love reward, etc. Similarly, the children's smart watches can also be further segmented for children of different age groups.
[0117] In recent years, users' demand for smart watches has been increasing. They not only require smart watches to have a perfect user experience, but also require smart watches to have a beautiful appearance and texture, which puts higher and higher requirements on the design of smart watches. On the one hand, users expect the functions of smart watches to continue to increase. In addition to functions such as sleep monitoring, heart rate monitoring, blood sugar monitoring, blood oxygen monitoring, sedentary reminders, and medication reminders for monitoring user physical indicators, they also hope to add functions such as air pressure monitoring, temperature monitoring, light monitoring, and coordinate monitoring for monitoring the user's use environment. This puts higher requirements on the layout design of various functional components inside smart watches. On the other hand, smart watches have strong decorative properties, so users also have high requirements for the appearance of smart watches and require smart watches to be thinner. Therefore, current smart watches are generally developing in the direction of becoming thinner and lighter.
[0118] How to design smart watches to be thinner and lighter while meeting customers' demands for multiple functions has become a major challenge in structural design.
[0119] The embodiments of the present application first provide a wearable device, which may include a smart watch, a smart wristband, smart glasses, a pedometer, and other wearable devices with a fastening strap.
[0120] In order to more conveniently explain the wearable device provided in the embodiment of the present application, as an example rather than a limitation, the technical solution of the present application will be explained in detail below by taking the wearable device being a smart watch as an example. Figure 1 It is a schematic diagram of an example of a smart watch provided in an embodiment of the present application.
[0121] like Figure 1 As shown, the smart watch provided in the embodiment of the present application can be any one of the above-mentioned adult smart watches (such as male adult smart watches, female adult smart watches, smart watches for pregnant women, and smart watches for women in the pregnancy preparation stage), elderly smart watches, and children's smart watches. In addition, the smart watch can also be a diving watch for divers, a sports smart watch for athletes to monitor sports information such as swimming, surfing, and diving.
[0122] like Figure 1As shown, the smart watch provided in the embodiment of the present application includes a dial and a fastening band 100 (or referred to as a watch band). The dial can also be referred to as a watch head, which is the main part of the smart watch. The fastening band 100 generally includes two parts, which are connected to opposite sides of the dial. The two parts are respectively provided with a buckle 102 and a buckle hole 101. The two parts of the fastening band 100 can be connected through the buckle 102 and the buckle hole 101 to wear the smart watch on the user's wrist.
[0123] Figure 2 It is a schematic diagram of another example of a smart watch provided in an embodiment of the present application.
[0124] like Figure 2 As shown, in another embodiment provided in the present application, the fastening strap 100 may also include only a portion, and a Velcro buckle or a magnetic component is provided on the bottom surface 103 of the end of the fastening strap 100, and a connecting ring 104 is provided on the other edge of the dial opposite to the fastening strap 100. After the fastening strap 100 passes through the connecting ring 104, it is fastened with the Velcro buckle on the bottom surface 103 of the end or attracted by the magnetic component to wear the smart watch on the user's wrist.
[0125] The smartwatch may also include a crown disposed on the side of the dial, the crown being connected to the inside of the dial and being used to adjust time, power on and off, select functions, adjust the brightness of the display screen 400, etc. The crown may be rotated or pressed to achieve the above functions. When the crown can be pressed, the crown may also be referred to as a key or button, etc.
[0126] Continue to see Figure 1 As shown, the dial includes a housing 300 and a display screen 400. The display screen 400 is used to provide human-computer interaction between the user and the smart watch, such as displaying information to the user (such as time, news, weather and other information) or receiving information input by the user (such as receiving control instructions from the user).
[0127] Optionally, the display screen 400 can be a touch screen, such as a liquid crystal display (LCD), an organic light-emitting diode (OLED), an active-matrix organic light emitting diode or an active-matrix organic light emitting diode (AMOLED), a flexible light-emitting diode (FLED), Miniled, MicroLed, Micro-oLed, a quantum dot light emitting diode (QLED) display screen, etc., but is not limited to these.
[0128] The display screen 400 is fixedly mounted on the housing 300 to form a closed accommodating cavity (i.e., the inner cavity of the dial), which can be used to accommodate electronic components such as the data processing module 200, the memory, the wireless communication module, the vibration motor, the speaker, the main board 201, the camera, the microphone, the sensor, and the battery. In addition, the accommodating cavity can also be used to accommodate the end of the fastening belt 100, for example, in the embodiment described later, the end of the fastening belt 100 with the data transmission member 21 exposed outside is inserted into the accommodating cavity to assemble the fastening belt 100 with the housing 300.
[0129] The data processing module 200 may include one or more interfaces for electrically connecting to other electronic components of the smart watch.
[0130] Among them, the memory can be used to store program codes, such as program codes for charging the smart watch, wirelessly pairing the smart watch with other electronic devices (such as mobile phones), or wirelessly communicating with other electronic devices.
[0131] The data processing module 200 can be used to execute the above-mentioned application code and call related modules to implement the various functions of the smart watch in the embodiment of the present application. For example, the smart watch can monitor the electrocardiogram, charge, wirelessly communicate, and play audio data. The data processing module 200 may include one or more processing units, and different processing units may be independent devices or integrated in one or more data processing modules 200. The data processing module 200 may specifically be an integrated control chip, or it may be composed of a circuit including various active and / or passive components, and the circuit is configured to perform the functions of the data processing module 200 described in the embodiment of the present application.
[0132] Optionally, the data processing module 200 may be disposed on a mainboard 201 , and the mainboard 201 may be a printed circuit board (PCB) or the like, but is not limited thereto.
[0133] The wireless communication module is used to realize wireless communication between the smart watch and other communication devices (such as mobile phones or base stations). For example, the communication method between the smart watch and other electronic devices can be Bluetooth (BT), wireless fidelity (Wi-Fi) network, global navigation satellite system (GNSS), frequency modulation (FM), near field communication (NFC), infrared technology (IR), etc., but not limited to this. In some embodiments, the wireless communication module can be a Bluetooth chip. The smart watch can pair with the Bluetooth chip of other electronic devices (such as mobile phones) through the Bluetooth chip and establish a wireless connection to realize wireless communication between the smart watch and other electronic devices through the wireless connection.
[0134] The battery is used to store electric energy charged from the outside and to supply power to other power-consuming modules to drive them to work (such as driving the display screen 400 to display). The battery can be any one of a nickel-cadmium battery, a lithium battery, etc., but is not limited thereto.
[0135] A microphone is also commonly called a pickup, microphone, micro-phone, microphone head, microphone core, etc. It is an energy conversion device that converts sound signals into electrical signals. It is a device with the opposite function of a speaker (a speaker is used to convert electrical signals into sound signals).
[0136] Depending on the different transducer principles of the microphone, the microphone in the embodiments of the present application can be an electric microphone (dynamic coil, aluminum ribbon) , a condenser microphone, a piezoelectric (crystal, ceramic) microphone, an electromagnetic microphone, a semiconductor microphone, etc. It can also be any type of cardioid microphone, acute cardioid microphone, supercardioid microphone, bidirectional (figure 8) microphone, non-directional (omnidirectional) microphone, micro electro mechanical system (MEMS) microphone, etc.

The sensor module may also be provided on the fastening belt 100.
[0139] The vibration motor can generate vibration prompts. The vibration motor can be used for incoming call vibration prompts, and can also be used for touch vibration feedback. For example, touch operations acting on different applications (such as taking pictures, audio playback, etc.) can correspond to different vibration feedback effects. The vibration motor can also correspond to different vibration feedback effects for touch operations acting on different areas of the display screen 400. Different application scenarios (such as time reminders, receiving messages, alarm clocks, etc.) can also correspond to different vibration feedback effects. The touch vibration feedback effect can also support customization.
[0140] Alternatively, the vibration motor may be a rotor motor or a linear motor.
[0141] A loudspeaker, also known as a speaker or audio unit, is a commonly used electroacoustic transducer. The main working principle of a loudspeaker is to use an energized element to drive the diaphragm to produce mechanical vibrations, and push the surrounding air, causing the air medium to fluctuate, thereby achieving the conversion of "electricity-force-sound".
[0142] Optionally, the speaker in the embodiment of the present application can be any type of dynamic speaker (or electric speaker), moving iron speaker, dynamic iron hybrid speaker, electromagnetic speaker, inductive speaker, electrostatic speaker, planar speaker, ribbon speaker, planar magnetic speaker and MEMS speaker.
[0143] It should be noted that the hardware functional components of the above-mentioned smart watch can be changed according to user needs. It can be understood that the specific embodiment introduced above is only a specific implementation method of the present application. Other ways to implement the solution of the present application are also within the scope of protection of the present application and will not be elaborated here.
[0144] The smart watch provided in the embodiment of the present application transfers one or more functional elements 20 originally set in the dial from the dial to the fastening strap 100. Under the premise of ensuring that the smart watch has rich functions, the space occupied by the functional elements 20 on the dial is reduced, thereby making the dial thinner and providing the smart watch with better user experience and decorative effect.
[0145] The smart watch and its fastening band 100 provided in the embodiments of the present application, as well as the manufacturing method of the fastening band 100 are now described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0146] Figure 3 Schematic diagram of a fastening belt 100 provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 4 yes Figure 3 A cross-sectional view of an example of AA.
[0147] like Figure 3-Figure 4 As shown, a fastening belt 100 provided in an embodiment of the present application includes a base 10 and a functional element 20 .
[0148] The base body 10 includes a first belt body 11 and a second belt body 12 which are spliced to each other. The first belt body 11 and the second belt body 12 surround an installation space 13 . The second belt body 12 has an installation hole 121 which is connected to the installation space 13 .
[0149] The functional element 20 includes a data transmission component 21 and a collection module 22. The data transmission component 21 is arranged in the installation space 13, and one end of the data transmission component 21 is connected to the collection module 22, and the other end is exposed to the base 10 and is used to connect to the data processing module 200. The collection module 22 is arranged in the installation hole 121, and one side of the collection module 22 is exposed to the outside through the installation hole 121.
[0150] The fastening strap 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application can conveniently arrange the functional element 20 in the installation space 13 surrounded by the first strap body 11 and the second strap body 12 by designing the first strap body 11 and the second strap body 12 spliced to each other, so that one or more functional elements 20 originally arranged in the shell 300 can be transferred from the shell 300 to the fastening strap 100. Under the premise of ensuring that the smart watch has rich and diverse functions, the space occupied by the functional element 20 in the shell 300 is reduced, so that the shell 300 can be made thinner, and the difficulty of component layout design inside the shell 300 is reduced, so that the smart watch using the fastening strap 100 in the present application has a better user experience and decorative effect.
[0151] The acquisition module 22 may be a component that needs to be in contact with human skin for monitoring, such as an electrocardiogram (ECG) electrode. The side of the ECG electrode that is in contact with human skin leaks outward through the mounting hole 121. After the fastening belt 100 is worn on the user's wrist, the acquisition module 22 can be closely attached to the user's skin; or, after the fastening belt 100 is worn on the user's wrist, the acquisition module 22 is not closely attached to the user's skin, but is facing the outside world. At this time, the user can use the skin of the fingers, back of the hand, wrist, elbow, etc. of the other hand to be closely attached to the ECG electrode, and ECG signal acquisition can also be achieved.
[0152] ECG is a basic examination method for diagnosing heart diseases, which records weak electrical signals generated in the deep tissues of the heart through electrodes, reflecting the electrical activity of the heart. ECG is widely used in clinical medicine. It is easy to operate, non-invasive, highly repeatable, with intuitive results and fast examination speed. It is an important means to monitor heart rhythm, atrial fibrillation, myocardial ischemia and other heart problems.
[0153] The ECG function is added to the smart watch to help users better understand their heart health. In the embodiment of the present application, ECG electrodes are arranged on the fastening band 100, ECG data is recorded at any time in daily life, and the data is transmitted to a smart phone or other device for analysis, so that certain heart problems can be monitored.
[0154] For example, in the diagnosis of arrhythmia, ECG can monitor the type, severity and duration of arrhythmia, and whether it is related to other heart diseases; in the diagnosis of myocardial infarction, myocardial infarction is a common disease that causes myocardial necrosis, ECG can monitor the area, severity and duration of myocardial infarction, which is of great value for related medical decision-making and efficacy evaluation; in the diagnosis of congenital heart disease, ECG can monitor the type and degree of congenital heart disease; in assessing heart health, ECG examinations can also be used to evaluate the health of the heart, including monitoring whether there are abnormalities such as thickening of the heart wall and enlargement of the ventricles.
[0155] In the embodiment of the present application, the ECG electrodes are arranged on the fastening belt 100, which can provide the user with a very convenient experience. The ECG can be monitored at any time without going to the hospital for professional testing, thus saving time and cost. Moreover, the user can record data at any time to better understand his or her health status and detect heart problems in time. More data can provide support for doctors to make accurate diagnoses.
[0156] Optionally, the ECG electrode includes but is not limited to aluminum alloy, stainless steel, titanium alloy or zirconium alloy. Of course, the ECG electrode can also be other conductive non-metallic materials.
[0157] Optionally, the acquisition module 22 may be a fingerprint module, a solar panel, or sensors with various functions (such as a temperature sensor, a humidity sensor, a light sensor, a position sensor, etc.), in addition to being an ECG electrode.
[0158] Specifically, when the collection module 22 is an element that does not need to be in contact with the human body, the mounting hole 121 of the second belt body 12 can be arranged in a direction away from the user's skin. Figure 4After the base 10 is rotated 180° counterclockwise as a whole, the mounting hole 121 faces upward. At this time, after the user wears the fastening belt 100, the solar panel also faces upward, so as to receive ambient light conveniently. For another example, the collection module 22 is a humidity sensor, and the mounting hole 121 of the second belt body 12 is opened in the width direction of the base 10, that is, toward the side. At this time, after the user wears the fastening belt 100, the humidity sensor also faces sideways and can receive ambient humidity.
[0159] In addition, when the acquisition module 22 is an ECG electrode that needs to be in contact with the human body, the mounting hole 121 of the second belt body 12 can also be set in a direction away from the user's skin, so that after wearing the fastening belt 100, the ECG electrode faces the outside world, and the skin of the fingers, back of the hand, wrist, elbow, etc. of the other hand can be pressed against the ECG electrode to collect ECG signals, and the specific situation is as described above.
[0160] Optionally, there is no limitation on the number of functional elements 20 provided on the tightening belt, and the number may be one or more.
[0161] Specifically, when there are multiple functional elements 20, multiple acquisition modules 22 can be located in the same mounting hole 121, or can be arranged in different mounting holes 121; multiple acquisition modules 22 can be electrically connected to the data processing module 200 on the mainboard 201 through the same set of data transmission components 21, so that the data transmission components 21 can be easily installed in the base 10.
[0162] Optionally, the material of the first belt body 11 and the second belt body 12 may be resin, rubber or elastomer, and the manufactured first belt body 11 and the second belt body 12 have a certain elasticity.
[0163] Specifically, the resin includes, but is not limited to, polyvinyl chloride, polypropylene, polyethylene terephthalate, ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, polybutylene terephthalate, polycarbonate, polyoxymethylene, and the like.
[0164] Specifically, the rubber includes but is not limited to silicone rubber, natural rubber, emulsion-polymerized styrene-butadiene rubber, solution-polymerized styrene-butadiene rubber, butadiene rubber, isoprene rubber, chloroprene rubber, ethylene-propylene rubber, butyl rubber, and the like.
[0165] Specifically, the elastomer includes, but is not limited to, styrene elastomer, polyurethane elastomer, polyolefin elastomer, polyester elastomer and the like.
[0166] Optionally, the data processing module 200 can be arranged on the mainboard 201 of the smart watch.
[0167] Optionally, the side surface of the collection module 22 that is exposed outward may be flush with the surface of the second belt body 12 .
[0168] In an embodiment provided in the present application, when the acquisition module 22 is a component that needs to be in contact with the human body for monitoring, such as an ECG electrode, the side surface of the acquisition module 22 that is exposed outward protrudes from the surface of the second belt body 12, thereby ensuring that the acquisition module 22 is in close contact with the human skin and avoiding the formation of a gap between the acquisition module 22 and the human skin.
[0169] In other embodiments provided in the present application, when the acquisition module 22 is an element that does not need to contact the human body (such as a fingerprint module, a solar panel, and sensors with various functions), in order to prevent the acquisition module 22 from being scratched or collided with by foreign objects and causing damage, the side surface of the acquisition module 22 that is exposed outward can be set inwardly in the second belt body 12, thereby reducing the probability of the acquisition module 22 being damaged by foreign objects.
[0170] In order to ensure the waterproof sealing of the fastening belt 100 and avoid damage to the data transmission component 21 and the acquisition module 22, the fastening belt 100 needs to be sealed. The waterproofness of the data transmission component 21 is mainly achieved by sealing the joint between the first belt body 11 and the second belt body 12. Figure 4 As shown, in an embodiment provided in the present application, the first belt body 11 and the second belt body 12 are bonded together by a sealant 111 .
[0171] In addition, the other end of the data transmission element 21 is exposed to the outside of the base 10, and this part can be sealed when assembled with the housing 300, such as in the embodiment described later. Fig. 9 Alternatively, a connector is provided at the other end of the data transmission element 21 , and the connector is sealed with the base 10 , so that the data transmission element 21 is completely sealed inside the base 10 .
[0172] As for the waterproof property of the collection module 22, the collection module 22 can be sealed in the mounting hole 121, and when the collection module 22 is a component that does not need to come into contact with the human body, for example, the collection module 22 is a solar cell panel, the mounting hole 121 can be covered by a transparent cover, thereby sealing the collection module 22 in the mounting hole 121.
[0173] If the acquisition module 22 is a component that needs to contact the human body, such as an ECG electrode, it needs to be sealed in other ways, such as Figure 4 As shown, in an embodiment provided in the present application, a sealing ring 122 or a sealant 111 is arranged between the peripheral wall of the collection module 22 and the hole wall of the mounting hole 121 .
[0174] Optionally, the sealing ring 122 includes but is not limited to an O-ring, a V-ring, an X-ring, a Y-ring, etc.
[0175] Specifically, the material of the sealing ring 122 includes, but is not limited to, polysulfide rubber, silicone rubber, polyurethane rubber, chloroprene rubber and butyl rubber, epoxy resin, unsaturated polyester resin, phenolic resin, polyacrylic resin, polyvinyl chloride resin, etc.
[0176] Optionally, the sealant 111 includes but is not limited to silicone sealant, polyurethane sealant, acrylic sealant, polysulfide sealant, polyamide sealant, etc.
[0177] The acquisition module 22 is sealed in the mounting hole 121 to ensure the waterproof requirement of this position, so that the smart watch using the fastening band 100 can meet the waterproof requirement in daily use scenarios such as washing hands, bathing, swimming, surfing, diving, etc.
[0178] In an embodiment provided in the present application, the data transmission element 21 includes a wire or a flexible circuit board.
[0179] Alternatively, the wires may be bare wires or flexible flat cables.
[0180] Specifically, bare wire refers to products with only conductors but no insulation layer, including various metals such as copper and aluminum and composite metal round single wires. Usually, in addition to bare wires, other types of wires are wrapped with rubber, plastic and other non-metallic insulation layers outside the conductor.
[0181] Flexible Flat Cable (FFC) can arbitrarily select the number and spacing of conductors, making wiring more convenient. It is most suitable for use as a data transmission cable between mobile components and the main board 201, between two printed circuit boards (PCBs), and in miniaturized electrical equipment.
[0182] Flexible Printed Circuit (FPC) is a highly reliable and extremely flexible printed circuit board made of polyimide or polyester film as the substrate.
[0183] Whether it is a bare wire, a conventional wire, a flexible flat cable or a flexible circuit board, they all have bendable flexibility. When the user bends, folds, twists, etc. the fastening belt 100, it will not cause the circuit to break and cause the functional element 20 to fail.
[0184] In an embodiment provided in the present application, the parts of the data transmission element 21 at both ends are fixedly connected to the first belt body 11 ; and / or the parts of the data transmission element 21 at both ends are fixedly connected to the second belt body 12 .
[0185] The fixed connection between the data transmission element 21 and the first belt body 11 and / or the second belt body 12 can be implemented in a variety of ways, such as by bonding and fixing with a sealant 111 or by locking with a fastener 125 (bolt or pin).
[0186] Figure 5 yes Figure 3 Another example of AA in FIG. Figure 5 As shown, the data transmission member 21 is fixed to the first belt body 11 by means of sealant 111. In other embodiments, the data transmission member 21 is fixed to the second belt body 12 by means of fasteners 125.
[0187] In this embodiment, only the two end portions of the data transmission member 21 are fixed to the base 10, and the middle portion is separated from the base 10, so that the amount of sealant 111 or fastener 125 used can be reduced, thereby reducing the installation process and cost of the data transmission member 21. In addition, the middle portion of the data transmission member 21 is separated from the base 10, so that if the fastening belt 100 is bent at a right angle, the data transmission member 21 can be bent in an arc shape in the base 10, thereby avoiding damage caused by the right angle bending of the data transmission member 21, thereby improving the data transmission reliability of the data transmission member 21.
[0188] Figure 6 yes Figure 3 A cross-sectional view of an example of BB. Figure 7 Schematic diagram of the data transmission element 21 provided in the embodiment of the present application inside the substrate 10. Figure 7 (a) is a schematic diagram of the fastening belt 100 when it is not stretched and deformed; Figure 7 (b) is a schematic diagram of the fastening belt 100 when it is stretched and deformed.
[0189] like Figure 6 As shown, in one embodiment provided in the present application, the cross-sectional area of the installation space 13 is larger than the cross-sectional area of the data transmission element 21 , so that the data transmission element 21 is disposed in a winding manner in the installation space 13 .
[0190] It should be noted that the cross section in the present application refers to the cross section obtained by cutting along the width direction of the fastening belt 100, that is, Figure 3 Cross section of the middle BB.
[0191] The cross-sectional area of the installation space 13 in this embodiment is larger than the cross-sectional area of the data transmission component 21, so that a portion of redundant space for deformation of the data transmission component 21 can be provided. Figure 7As shown in (a) of FIG. 1 , the data transmission member 21 can be arranged in a winding manner in the installation space 13, so that the data transmission member 21 has a certain stretch margin, such as Figure 7 As shown in (b) , when the substrate 10 is stretched and deformed, the meandering data transmission element 21 can unfold along the substrate 10 , thereby preventing the data transmission element 21 from being stretched and broken by the substrate 10 , thereby ensuring the data transmission reliability of the data transmission element 21 .
[0192] Figure 8 yes Figure 3 A cross-sectional view of another example of AA.
[0193] like Figure 8 As shown, in an embodiment provided in the present application, one end of the data transmission element 21 close to the collection module 22 extends out from the edge of the collection module 22 to form a connecting portion 211 , and the connecting portion 211 is positioned and assembled with the first belt body 11 through a positioning structure 212 .
[0194] When the functional element 20 is installed between the first belt body 11 and the second belt body 12, the installation sequence is usually to connect the data transmission element 21 and the first belt body 11 into an integral structure, and then connect the integral structure to the second belt body 12. Therefore, in order to facilitate the smooth installation of the acquisition module 22 in the installation hole 121 of the second belt body 12, a connection part 211 is provided on the data transmission element 21 close to the acquisition module 22, and the connection part 211 and the first belt body 11 are accurately assembled together through the positioning structure 212, so that after the position of the acquisition module 22 relative to the first belt body 11 is determined, the first belt body 11 and the second belt body 12 are assembled, so that the acquisition module 22 can be smoothly extended into the installation hole 121, and the assembly process is more convenient and accurate.
[0195] Optionally, the positioning structure 212 has various structures and may be a protrusion and a depression, or a positioning hole 212a or a positioning pin 212b as described in the embodiments below.
[0196] like Figure 8 As shown, in an embodiment provided in the present application, the positioning structure 212 includes a positioning hole 212a and a positioning pin 212b, the connecting portion 211 has a positioning hole 212a, the first belt body 11 is provided with a positioning pin 212b, and the positioning pin 212b passes through the positioning hole 212a and is bonded and fixed to the second belt body 12 by a sealant 111.
[0197] Of course, in other embodiments, the positioning hole 212 a and the positioning pin 212 b may also be provided on the base 10 interchangeably, that is, the first belt body 11 has the positioning hole 212 a , and the connecting portion 211 is provided with the positioning pin 212 b .
[0198] Optionally, there is an assembly gap of 0.05-0.1 mm between the positioning hole 212 a and the positioning pin 212 b .
[0199] The positioning structure 212 of the positioning hole 212a and the positioning pin 212b can not only accurately position the collection module 22 on the first belt body 11, but also enhance the installation strength of the collection module 22 in the installation hole 121, and effectively prevent the collection module 22 from falling out of the installation hole 121. How to understand this advantage, such as Figure 8 As shown, there are three main connection positions between the data transmission component 21 and the base 10: one is the bonding position between the data transmission component 21 and the first belt body 11; the second is the plugging position between the positioning hole 212a and the positioning pin 212b; and the third is the plugging position between the acquisition module 22 and the mounting hole 121. These three connection positions ensure the connection strength between the data transmission component 21 and the base 10. When the base 10 is stretched to the left, the data transmission component 21 will stretch to the left along with the base 10. If the connection strength between the data transmission component 21 and the base 10 is not strong enough, such as the lack of the plugging position between the positioning hole 212a and the positioning pin 212b, the base 10 may not be able to drive the data transmission component 21 to stretch synchronously when being stretched, thereby causing a displacement difference between the mounting hole 121 and the acquisition module 22, causing the acquisition module 22 to fall out of the mounting hole 121.
[0200] Fig. 9 yes Figure 8 Schematic diagram of the assembly of the fastening belt 100 and the shell 300.
[0201] like Fig. 9 As shown, in this embodiment, an assembly groove for plugging in the fastening belt 100 is opened on one side of the shell 300, and one end of the data transmission component 21 exposed on the base 10 is inserted into the assembly groove and is sealed to the shell 300 through a sealing ring 122. The data transmission component 21 is electrically connected to the data processing module 200 inside the shell 300 through wiring.
[0202] Optionally, in some other embodiments provided in the present application, a connector is provided at the end of the data transmission component 21 away from the acquisition module 22, the front end of the connector is exposed outside the base 10, and the data transmission component 21 is connected to the data processing module 200 through the connector.
[0203] Specifically, the connector may be a board-to-board (BTB) connector, a terminal block, or a pogo pin connector.
[0204] Fig.10 yes Figure 3 A cross-sectional view of another example of AA.
[0205] like Fig.10As shown, in one embodiment provided in the present application, the data transmission element 21 is a circuit coating disposed on the second belt body 12 .
[0206] Optionally, the circuit coating can be formed on the second belt body 12 by laser direct structuring (LDS); or, it can also be formed on the second belt body 12 by direct pad printing (PDS).
[0207] One end of the second belt body 12 away from the acquisition module 22 extends out from the edge of the first belt body 11 to form an extension portion 123 . The circuit coating on the extension portion 123 is connected to the data processing module 200 .
[0208] Fig.11 yes Fig.10 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of an assembly example of the fastening belt 100 and the housing 300. FIG.
[0209] In an embodiment provided in the present application, the circuit coating on the extension portion 123 is connected to the data processing module 200 via a spring 124 .
[0210] In this embodiment, the spring piece 124 has a function similar to that of a busbar in the related field, and establishes an electrical connection between the circuit coating and the data processing module 200. Since there is no need to add a separate assembly structure, the extension portion 123 can be directly inserted into the assembly groove provided on the housing 300, so that the spring piece 124 and the circuit coating are elastically abutted, thus having the advantages of convenient and quick assembly.
[0211] Alternatively, if Fig.11 As shown, the spring piece 124 can be led out from the data processing module 200 and elastically abut against the circuit coating on the extension portion 123 to achieve electrical connection between the circuit coating and the data processing module 200; the spring piece 124 can also be led out from the extension portion 123 and elastically abut against the data processing module 200 to achieve electrical connection between the circuit coating and the data processing module 200.
[0212] Alternatively, if Fig.11 As shown, one end of the first belt body 11 and the second belt body 12 close to the extension portion 123 are both inserted into the assembly groove of the housing 300 and are sealed and connected to the housing 300 via the sealing ring 122 .
[0213] Fig.12 yes Fig.10 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of another example of the assembly of the fastening belt 100 and the shell 300.
[0214] In addition to the circuit coating on the extension portion 123 being connected to the data processing module 200 via the spring 124 in the aforementioned embodiment, the extension portion 123 and the data processing module 200 may also be fixedly connected via a fastener 125. Fig.12 As shown, in one embodiment provided in the present application, the circuit coating on the extension portion 123 is connected to the data processing module 200 via a fastener 125 .
[0215] Alternatively, if Fig.12 As shown, the data processing module 200 is arranged on the mainboard 201, the mainboard 201 is provided with a through hole, the extension part 123 is provided with a screw hole or a pin hole, the screw or the pin passes through the mainboard 201 and is fastened to the extension part 123, so as to clamp the electrode on the mainboard 201 against the circuit coating, so that the circuit coating, the mainboard 201 and the data processing module 200 are electrically connected. In order to reduce the pressure on the circuit coating and avoid damage to the circuit coating, a gasket 126 can be added between the mainboard 201 and the circuit coating, so as to increase the contact area of the circuit coating and reduce local pressure.
[0216] Fig.13 yes Figure 3 A cross-sectional view of another example of AA. Fig.14 yes Fig.13 Schematic diagram of the assembly of the fastening belt 100 and the shell 300.
[0217] exist Fig.12 In the embodiment, the circuit coating on the extension 123 is fixedly connected to the data processing module 200 through the fastener 125. Since the extension 123 is parallel to the length direction of the substrate 10, when the fastener 125 is installed in a direction perpendicular to the extension 123, a certain working space is required above the extension 123. Therefore, the housing 300 above the extension 123 needs to be slotted and sealed, or the housing 300 needs to be made into a disassembled part, so as to provide working space for the fastener 125 during installation. Obviously, this will increase the assembly process, resulting in low assembly efficiency and high cost.
[0218] Therefore, in order to solve the above problems, Figure 13-14 As shown, in an embodiment provided in the present application, the extension portion 123 is bent toward the first belt body 11 so that the fastener 125 is installed in the length direction of the base 10 .
[0219] In this embodiment, the extension portion 123 is bent toward the first belt body 11, so that the fastener 125 can be installed in the length direction of the base body 10. Fig.14As shown, the working space of the fastener 125 is on the side of the shell 300, and the side originally has an assembly groove for assembling the fastening belt 100, so it will not form an obstacle when the fastener 125 is installed, thereby facilitating the installation of the fastener 125. Compared with the aforementioned embodiments, it has the advantages of high assembly efficiency and low cost.
[0220] Alternatively, if Fig.14 As shown, one end of the first belt body 11 and the second belt body 12 close to the extension portion 123 are both inserted into the assembly groove of the housing 300 and are sealed and connected to the housing 300 via the sealing ring 122 .

[0222] like Fig.15 As shown, the embodiment of the present application further provides a fastening belt 100 , including a base 10 and a functional element 20 .
[0223] The functional element 20 includes a data transmission component 21 and a collection module 22. The data transmission component 21 is embedded in the interior of the substrate 10 through an in-mold molding process, and one end of the data transmission component 21 is connected to the collection module 22, and the other end is exposed to the substrate 10 and is used to connect to the data processing module 200. Part of the collection module 22 is embedded in the interior of the substrate 10 through an in-mold molding process, and one side of the collection module 22 is exposed to the substrate 10.
[0224] The fastening band 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application directly embeds the functional element 20 into the interior of the fastening band 100 through an in-mold forming process, so that the functional element 20 and the fastening band 100 are combined into one, so that one or more functional elements 20 originally arranged in the shell 300 can be transferred from the shell 300 to the fastening band 100. Under the premise of ensuring that the smart watch has rich and diverse functions, the space occupied by the functional element 20 in the shell 300 is reduced, so that the shell 300 can be made thinner, and the difficulty of component layout design inside the shell 300 is reduced, so that the smart watch using the fastening band 100 in the present application has a better user experience and decorative effect.
[0225] In addition, the in-mold molding process can ensure the waterproof sealing of the fastening belt 100, avoid damage to the data transmission component 21 and the acquisition module 22, and thus increase the service life of the functional element 20.
[0226] Optionally, the material of the substrate 10 can be resin, rubber or elastomer, and the manufactured substrate 10 has a certain elasticity. The specific types of resin, rubber or elastomer can be found above.
[0227] Optionally, the in-mold forming process used in the embodiment of the present application mainly includes two categories, one is compression molding, and the other is injection molding. Compression molding is to put the preheated matrix 10 raw material into the cavity surrounded by the mold in advance, and then heat and pressurize the mold to make the matrix 10 raw material melt and flow to fill the cavity. Injection molding is to heat and melt the solid raw material of the matrix 10 into a liquid state in advance, and directly inject the matrix 10 raw material into the cavity of the mold by an injection device.
[0228] Fig.16 yes Figure 3 A cross-sectional view of another example of AA.
[0229] like Fig.16 As shown, in one embodiment provided in the present application, the side surface of the collection module 22 that is exposed outward is protruding from the surface of the base 10 .
[0230] When the acquisition module 22 is a component that needs to be in contact with the human body for monitoring, such as an ECG electrode, the side surface of the acquisition module 22 that is exposed outward protrudes from the surface of the second belt body 12, so as to ensure that the acquisition module 22 is in close contact with the human skin and avoid a gap between the acquisition module 22 and the human skin.
[0231] Optionally, in some other embodiments provided by the present application, the side surface of the collection module 22 may also be flush or concave with the surface of the second belt body 12. If it is flush, it can reduce the abruptness of the user after wearing the fastening belt 100, thereby improving the user's wearing comfort; if it is concave, it can better protect the collection module 22 and prevent it from being scratched or damaged by foreign objects.
[0232] In an embodiment provided in the present application, the data transmission element 21 includes a wire or a flexible circuit board.
[0233] As mentioned above, when used as a fastening belt 100 of a smart watch, the fastening belt 100 has a buckle 102 and a buckle hole 101, and the two parts of the fastening belt 100 can be connected through the buckle 102 and the buckle hole 101 to wear the smart watch on the user's wrist. The data transmission component 21 is usually arranged in an area away from the buckle hole 101 to ensure the structural integrity of the data transmission component 21, so that standard parts of bare wires, conventional wires, flexible flat cables, and flexible circuit boards on the market can be directly purchased. However, in addition to the buckle hole 101, the fastening belt 100 may also have ventilation holes or other hollow structures for decorative purposes in some cases, which may result in too few positions with solid structures on the fastening belt 100 to be unable to arrange the data transmission component 21, or the arrangement is too compact, resulting in the data transmission component 21 being prone to failure.
[0234] Therefore, in order to solve the above technical problems and make the layout of the data transmission member 21 on the fastening belt 100 more diverse and rich, thereby facilitating structural design, it is conceivable to arrange the data transmission member 21 on the fastening belt 100 with openings or hollow areas.

[0237] In this embodiment, the data transmission component 21 is arranged in the opening or hollow area of the fastening belt 100, so that the layout position of the data transmission component 21 is more diverse and rich, and is no longer limited to the area of the solid structure, thereby facilitating structural design.
[0238] The hole wall of the second through hole 213 has an insulating sealing layer 214 covering the data transmission element 21 to play a role in waterproofing and short-circuit prevention.
[0239] Optionally, in order to make the hole wall of the first through hole 14 and the hole wall of the second through hole 213 on the same surface so that the final buckle hole 101 or the air vent has good consistency inside the hole, the hole wall of the first through hole 14 and the hole wall of the second through hole 213 can be provided with an insulating sealing layer 214.
[0240] In another embodiment provided in the present application, if the buckle 102 of the smart watch is made of insulating material, the hole wall of the second through hole 213 does not need to be provided with an insulating sealing layer 214 .
[0241] In another embodiment provided in the present application, if the data transmission component 21 is an FFC or an FPC, and a second through hole 213 is reserved on the component to avoid the wiring, the hole wall of the second through hole 213 itself has insulating properties, so there is no need to additionally provide an insulating sealing layer 214; or, even if the second through hole 213 does not avoid the wiring, the hole wall of the second through hole 213 has been insulated when the FFC or FPC is formed, and there is no need to additionally provide an insulating sealing layer 214.
[0242] For example Figure 3As shown, in an embodiment provided in the present application, a plurality of first through holes 14 are arranged along the length direction of the base 10, and a plurality of second through holes 213 are also arranged along the length direction of the base 10, and the first through holes 14 and the second through holes 213 together constitute the buckle hole 101 of the fastening belt 100.

The data transmission component 21 is electrically connected to the data processing module 200 inside the shell 300 through wiring.
