Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application belongs to the field of electronic product technology, specifically relating to a wearable device. Background Technology
[0002] With the development of technology, wearable devices such as smartwatches, smart bracelets, and smart glasses have gradually entered people's daily lives. The use of these devices has brought convenience and new experiences to people's consumption, entertainment, and medical health, and has been favored by consumers.
[0003] However, traditional wearable devices mainly consist of a main body and a connecting strap, with the connecting strap typically connected to the main body via a threaded connector. This design requires specialized tools to install the threaded connector, making the installation process cumbersome and failing to meet users' needs for quick installation. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this application is to provide a wearable device that can solve the problem of cumbersome installation of the connecting strap in related technologies.
[0005] This application provides a wearable device, including:
[0006] The main body of the equipment is equipped with a mounting slot;
[0007] A locking mechanism includes a locking member and a first elastic member. The locking member is slidably engaged with the main body of the device, and the sliding direction of the locking member intersects with the depth direction of the mounting groove. The first elastic member is disposed on the main body of the device and connected to the locking member, and the extending direction of the first elastic member is the same as the sliding direction of the locking member.
[0008] The device includes a connecting belt, an operating component, and a connector. The end of the connecting belt is connected to the connector. The operating component is disposed on the connector. The operating component has a locking portion. At least one of the locking component and the locking portion has a first driving slope.
[0009] During the process of the operating member extending into the mounting groove, the locking part drives the locking member to slide through the first driving inclined surface, so that the operating member moves to the locking position. When the operating member is in the locking position, the locking member and the locking part are in a limiting engagement.
[0010] In this embodiment, during the insertion of the operating member into the mounting slot, the locking part drives the locking member to slide via the first driving inclined surface, causing the operating member to move to the locking position. When the operating member is in the locking position, the locking member and the locking part are in a limiting engagement, preventing the locking part from moving away from the mounting slot. This allows the connector to connect to the device body, and the end of the connecting strap connects to the connector, thus allowing the connecting strap to be installed on the device body. Therefore, the wearable device provided in this embodiment can install the connecting strap without the need for tools, making the installation of the connecting strap more convenient.

[0040] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this application. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0041] The terms "first," "second," etc., used in the specification and claims of this application are used to distinguish similar objects and not to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such use of data can be interchanged where appropriate so that embodiments of this application can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein, and the objects distinguished by "first," "second," etc., are generally of the same class and the number of objects is not limited; for example, a first object can be one or more. Furthermore, in the specification and claims, "and / or" indicates at least one of the connected objects, and the character " / " generally indicates that the preceding and following objects are in an "or" relationship.
[0042] The wearable device provided in this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, through specific embodiments and application scenarios.
[0043] Please refer to Figures 1 to 21 As shown in the illustration, this application provides a wearable device, which includes a device body 100, a locking mechanism 200, a connecting strap 300, an operating component 400, and a connector 500. The wearable device may be, for example, a smartwatch, a smart bracelet, or smart glasses.
[0044] Specifically, the main body 100 is provided with a mounting groove 111. The main body 100 is, for example, a circular structure, and the depth direction of the mounting groove 111 is, for example, the radial direction of the main body 100.
[0045] The locking mechanism 200 includes a locking member 210 and a first elastic member 220. The locking member 210 is slidably engaged with the equipment body 100, and the sliding direction of the locking member 210 intersects with, for example, the depth direction of the mounting groove 111, or is perpendicular to it. The first elastic member 220 is disposed on the equipment body 100 and connected to the locking member 210, and the extending direction of the first elastic member 220 is the same as the sliding direction of the locking member 210. The first elastic member 220 is used to drive the locking member 210 to extend into the mounting groove 111. The first elastic member 220 is, for example, a spring.
[0046] The end of the connecting strip 300 is connected to the connector 500. An operating member 400 is disposed on the connector 500. The operating member 400 has a locking portion 410, and at least one of the locking member 210 and the locking portion 410 has a first driving ramp. Optionally, one of the locking member 210 and the locking portion 410 has a first driving ramp, or, refer to... Figure 19 As shown, both the locking member 210 and the latching portion 410 are provided with a first driving slope. To easily distinguish between these two first driving slopes, the first driving slope provided on the locking member 210 is defined as the first slope 213, and the first driving slope provided on the latching portion 410 is defined as the second slope 412. Furthermore, the first driving slope can be a plane or a curved surface; this embodiment does not impose any limitation on this. Figure 18 In the middle, the second inclined surface 412 is a curved surface and is arranged along the circumference of the snap-fit part 410.
[0047] During the insertion of the operating member 400 into the mounting groove 111, the engaging portion 410 drives the locking member 210 to slide via the first driving ramp, thereby moving the operating member 400 to the locked position. When the operating member 400 is in the locked position, the locking member 210 engages with the engaging portion 410 to limit the movement of the operating member 400 away from the mounting groove 111. In actual use, the engaging portion 410, for example, drives the locking member 210 to slide away from the mounting groove 111 via the first driving ramp, allowing the locking member 210 to avoid the engaging portion 410, thus enabling the engaging portion 410 to pass through the position of the locking member 210 and move to the locked position.
[0048] Optionally, the operating member 400 extends into the mounting groove 111, for example, along the depth direction of the mounting groove 111, and when the operating member 400 is in the locked position, the distance between each first drive ramp and the axis of the operating member 400 gradually decreases, for example, along the direction close to the bottom of the mounting groove 111.
[0049] In this embodiment, during the insertion of the operating member 400 into the mounting groove 111, the locking part 410 drives the locking member 210 to slide via the first driving inclined surface, thereby moving the operating member 400 to the locking position. When the operating member 400 is in the locking position, the locking member 210 and the locking part 410 are in a limiting engagement, preventing the locking part 410 from moving away from the mounting groove 111. This allows the connector 500 to connect to the device body 100, and the end of the connecting strap 300 to connect to the connector 500, thus allowing the connecting strap 300 to be installed on the device body 100. Therefore, the wearable device provided in this embodiment can install the connecting strap 300 without the need for tools, making the installation of the connecting strap 300 more convenient.
[0050] In another embodiment, reference Figures 14 to 19 As shown, the operating member 400 and the connector 500 are slidably engaged along the depth direction of the mounting groove 111. The axis of the operating member 400 is, for example, parallel to the depth direction of the mounting groove 111. The wearable device also includes a transition member 600, which is slidably disposed on the operating member 400 along the depth direction of the mounting groove 111. The operating member 400 is also provided with a first limiting part 420, located on the side of the transition member 600 opposite to the snap-fit part 410. When the operating member 400 is in the locked position, the first limiting part 420 and the transition member 600 are engaged in a limiting engagement along the depth direction of the mounting groove 111 to restrict the transition member 600 from sliding away from the bottom of the mounting groove 111. (Refer to...) Figure 18 As shown, the first limiting part 420 is provided, for example, along the circumference of the operating member 400.
[0051] During the sliding of the operating member 400 along the direction close to the mounting groove 111, the transition member 600 drives the locking member 210 to slide, so that the transition member 600 moves between the engaging part 410 and the locking member 210. Specifically, the transition member 600 drives the locking member 210 to slide in a direction away from the transition member 600, so that the locking member 210 avoids the transition member 600, thereby allowing the transition member 600 to pass through the position of the locking member 210 along the direction close to the mounting groove 111.
[0052] As the operating member 400 slides away from the mounting groove 111, the transition member 600 comes into contact with the snap-fit part 410 and drives the locking member 210 to slide, so that the locking member 210 is disengaged from the snap-fit part 410.
[0053] Specifically, the transition member 600, for example, drives the locking member 210 to slide away from the transition member 600, so that the locking member 210 avoids the transition member 600. This allows the transition member 600 to pass through the position of the locking member 210 and allows the locking member 210 to transition onto the latching part 410. When the locking member 210 transitions onto the latching part 410, the latching part 410 drives the locking member 210 to slide again via the first driving ramp, so that the operating member 400 moves to the unlocked position. When the operating member 400 is in the unlocked position, the engagement between the locking member 210 and the latching part 410 is released. At this time, the connector 500 and the connecting strap 300 can be removed from the device body 100. As can be seen, in this embodiment, the connecting strap 300 and the connector 500 can be removed from the device body 100. In this way, the user can freely replace the connecting strap 300, thereby avoiding the situation where the entire wearable device becomes unusable due to damage to the connecting strap 300. In addition, this configuration allows users to replace the connecting strap 300 with different lengths or colors according to their own needs, thus enabling the wearable device to better meet the user's needs.
[0054] Furthermore, in actual use, the operating member 400 needs to be moved along the direction close to the mounting groove 111 first, so that the transition member 600 moves along the direction close to the bottom of the mounting groove 111. After the transition member 600 is located between the snap-fit part 410 and the locking member 210, the operating member 400 can be moved away from the mounting groove 111 to remove the connector 500 from the equipment body 100. During this process, the operating member 400 needs to move in two opposite directions. In this way, if the operating member 400 moves in only one direction, the connector 500 cannot be removed, thereby reducing the occurrence of the connector 500 separating from the equipment body 100 due to misoperation.
[0055] Of course, in other alternative embodiments, the wearable device may not include the transition piece 600. In this case, for example, the connecting strap 300 may be detachably connected to the connector 500 so that the connecting strap 300 is replaceable.
[0056] It should be noted that when the wearable device includes the transition piece 600 mentioned above, the connecting strap 300 and the connector 500 can be connected in a detachable manner or in a non-detachable manner. In this embodiment, no limitation is made.
[0057] In a further embodiment, the maximum dimension of the transition member 600 in the sliding direction of the locking member 210 is greater than the maximum dimension of the snap-fit portion 410 in the sliding direction of the locking member 210. With this configuration, guided by the maximum dimension of the transition member 600, the locking member 210 can smoothly transition onto the snap-fit portion 410, thereby making the disassembly of the connector 500 smoother.
[0058] In other alternative embodiments, the maximum dimension of the transition member 600 in the sliding direction of the locking member 210 may also be equal to or less than the maximum dimension of the latching portion 410 in the sliding direction of the locking member 210. When the maximum dimension of the transition member 600 in the sliding direction of the locking member 210 is less than the maximum dimension of the latching portion 410 in the sliding direction of the locking member 210, under the action of a preset force, at least one of the locking member 210 and the latching portion 410 will undergo a slight deformation, for example, to release the engagement between the two.
[0059] In a further embodiment, reference is made to... Figure 16 and Figure 18As shown, the transition member 600 has a second driving slope 610 at one end facing the latching portion 410, through which the transition member 600 can drive the locking member 210 to slide. The transition member 600 has a third driving slope 620 at one end away from the latching portion 410 and / or the locking member 210 has a first driving slope, through which the locking member 210 can be driven to slide.
[0060] In this embodiment, the first driving inclined surface, the second driving inclined surface 610 and the third driving inclined surface 620 are relatively simple to process and have low cost. The transition part 600 has a small volume, which makes the processing difficulty and cost of the wearable device lower and the size of the wearable device smaller.
[0061] refer to Figures 16 to 19 As shown, the transition member 600 is provided with a second driving ramp 610 and a third driving ramp 620, while the locking member 210 is provided with a first driving ramp. When the operating member 400 is in the locked position, along the direction close to the bottom of the mounting groove 111, the distance between the axis of the operating member 400 and the second driving ramp 610 and the first driving ramp gradually decreases, while the distance between the axis of the operating member 400 and the third driving ramp 620 gradually increases. In this arrangement, the largest dimension of the transition member 600 in the sliding direction of the locking member 210 is, for example, the junction of the second driving ramp 610 and the third driving ramp 620, or more specifically, for example, the junction of the second driving ramp 610 and the third driving ramp 620. Figure 18 The transition surface 630 shown is illustrated.
[0062] In other alternative embodiments, the transition member 600 may not have the second driving ramp 610 and the third driving ramp 620, and the locking member 210 may not have the first driving ramp. In this case, the transition member 600 drives the locking member 210 to slide by means of a linear drive such as a push rod motor.
[0063] In a further embodiment, reference is made to... Figure 19 As shown, the transition member 600 has a ring-shaped structure and is slidably fitted onto the operating member 400 along the depth direction of the mounting groove 111. The second driving inclined surface 610 and the third driving inclined surface 620 are both arranged along the circumference of the transition member 600. With this arrangement, there are more positions where the locking member 210 and the transition member 600 can cooperate, thereby reducing the design difficulty of the locking member 210.
[0064] Furthermore, there are at least two locking members 210, each locking member 210 cooperating with the same transition member 600 and arranged at intervals along the circumference of the transition member 600. In this way, the circumferential force on the transition member 600 is more uniform, thereby making the transition member 600 more stable. Moreover, this arrangement also ensures better sliding synchronization of the locking members 210, thus making the assembly and disassembly of the connecting belt 300 smoother.
[0065] In other alternative embodiments, the transition member 600 may also be a block structure. In this case, there is no nesting relationship between the transition member 600 and the operating member 400, and the operating member 400 may be provided with a sliding groove. The length direction of the sliding groove is the same as the depth direction of the mounting groove 111. A part of the transition member 600 is disposed in the sliding groove and slides with the sliding groove along the depth direction of the mounting groove 111.
[0066] In another embodiment, reference Figure 16 and Figure 19 As shown, the wearable device also includes a second elastic member 710. One end of the second elastic member 710 abuts against the latching portion 410, and the other end abuts against the transition member 600, pressing the transition member 600 against the first limiting portion 420. During the sliding of the operating member 400 away from the mounting groove 111, the second elastic member 710 deforms, causing the transition member 600 to approach and fit against the latching portion 410. The second elastic member 710 is, for example, a spring, with one end connected to the latching portion 410 and the other end connected to the transition member 600. With this configuration, when the connecting strap 300 is connected to the device body 100, the second elastic member 710 can press the transition member 600 against the first limiting portion 420, preventing the transition member 600 from sliding along the operating member 400 and colliding with other components, thereby extending the service life of the transition member 600.
[0067] In actual use, under the action of external force, the second elastic member 710 is compressed, for example, so that the transition member 600 approaches the latching part 410 and fits against the latching part 410.
[0068] In other alternative embodiments, the wearable device may also exclude the second elastic element 710.
[0069] In another embodiment, the snap-fit portion 410 has a cavity 411 on the side facing the transition member 600, and when the transition member 600 is in contact with the snap-fit portion 410, a portion of the transition member 600 is located in the cavity 411. Optionally, refer to Figure 17As shown, when the transition member 600 is in contact with the latching portion 410, the second driving slope 610 of the transition member 600 is located, for example, in the cavity 411. With this configuration, when the transition member 600 is in contact with the latching portion 410, a portion of the transition member 600 is hidden within the latching portion 410, resulting in a small or non-existent gap between the largest component of the transition member 600 and the latching portion 410. This allows the transition member 600 to smoothly transition to the latching portion 410 during the disassembly of the connecting strip 300. Furthermore, this embodiment reduces the space occupied by the transition member 600 and the latching portion 410 when they are in contact, thus eliminating the need for excessive movement space and reducing the depth of the mounting groove 111.
[0070] In other alternative embodiments, when the transition member 600 is in contact with the snap-fit portion 410, the transition member 600 may also be located entirely on the side of the snap-fit portion 410 away from the bottom of the mounting groove 111, that is, the two do not overlap at all in the direction perpendicular to the sliding direction of the operating member 400.
[0071] In another embodiment, reference Figure 15 As shown, the wearable device also includes a third elastic element 720 and a first stop element 730. The connector 500 has a receiving cavity, through which the operating element 400 passes. The portion of the operating element 400 within the receiving cavity has a second limiting portion 430. One end of the third elastic element 720 abuts against the cavity wall of the receiving cavity, and the other end abuts against the side of the second limiting portion 430 facing the mounting groove 111. The inner wall of the receiving cavity has a first stop element 730 located on the side of the second limiting portion 430 away from the mounting groove 111, and can engage with the second limiting portion 430 in the depth direction of the mounting groove 111. The third elastic element 720 is, for example, a spring. One end of the third elastic element 720 is connected to the second limiting portion 430, for example, and the other end is connected to the cavity wall of the receiving cavity, for example. With this configuration, when the external force is removed, the third elastic element 720 can drive the operating element 400 to automatically reset, thereby making the wearable device more convenient to use. Furthermore, the cooperation of the first stop member 730 and the second limiting part 430 restricts the movement of the operating member 400 relative to the connector 500 in the direction away from the mounting groove 111, thereby preventing the operating member 400 from sliding away from the mounting groove 111 and separating from the connector 500. Moreover, due to the presence of the third elastic member 720, the operating member 400 can only slide in the direction closer to the mounting groove 111 if the external force can overcome the elastic force of the third elastic member 720, thereby reducing the possibility of the connector 500 separating from the equipment body 100 due to misoperation.
[0072] Optionally, refer to Figure 15As shown, the inner wall of the receiving cavity is provided with a first mating groove, and a portion of the first stop member 730 is disposed in the first mating groove to be disposed on the inner wall of the receiving cavity, and the first mating groove is provided, for example, along the circumference of the operating member 400. The first mating groove can be used to determine the installation position of the first stop member 730 more conveniently and quickly, thereby improving the installation efficiency of the first stop member 730.
[0073] In other alternative embodiments, the wearable device may also exclude the third elastic member 720 and the first stop member 730.
[0074] In another embodiment, reference Figure 11 As shown, the connector 500 is provided with a mounting base 510. The mounting base 510 is provided with a first channel 511 through which the operating member 400 can pass and a second channel 512 through which the locking member 210 can pass. The first channel 511 and the second channel 512 are connected. The mounting base 510 can be guided and engaged with the mounting groove 111. The bottom of the mounting groove 111 is provided with a clearance groove 113 for avoiding the operating member 400. When the operating member 400 is in the locked position, the mounting base 510 is located in the mounting groove 111, and a part of the locking member 210 and the snap-fit part 410 are both located in the first channel 511.
[0075] In this embodiment, with the cooperation of the mounting base 510 and the mounting groove 111, the connector 500 can be smoothly installed onto the device body 100. In addition, due to the presence of the clearance groove 113, the dimension of the mounting groove 111 in its depth direction can be designed to be smaller, which helps to ensure the strength of the device body 100 and makes the wearable device more compact and smaller in size.
[0076] Optionally, refer to Figure 11 and Figure 15 As shown, the mounting base 510 is provided, for example, on the side of the connector 500 facing the device body 100, and the first channel 511 extends, for example, in a direction away from the mounting groove 111 and passes through the connector 500.
[0077] Optionally, refer to Figure 15 As shown, the operating component 400 includes, for example, an operating lever. One end of the operating lever has a locking portion 410, and the end of the operating lever opposite to the locking portion 410 is, for example, the operating end of the operating component 400. The cross-sectional area of the operating end of the operating lever is, for example, larger than the cross-sectional area of other parts of the operating lever. When the connector 500 is connected to the device body 100, the operating end is located outside the device body 100. With this configuration, when it is necessary to disassemble the connector 500, the operating end is located outside the device body 100, and the operating end has a larger cross-sectional area, thereby allowing the user to move the operating component 400 more conveniently.
[0078] In other alternative embodiments, the connector 500 may not have a mounting base 510, and the bottom of the mounting groove 111 may not have a clearance groove 113 for avoiding the operating member 400.
[0079] In another embodiment, reference Figures 7 to 10 As shown, the main body 100 of the device is also provided with an installation channel 112 that communicates with the installation groove 111. A part of the locking member 210 and the first elastic member 220 are both provided in the installation channel 112. The inner wall of the installation channel 112 is provided with a second stop member 740. The locking member 210 is provided with a protrusion 211, which is located on the side of the second stop member 740 away from the installation groove 111 and can be limited and cooperated with the second stop member 740 in the sliding direction of the locking member 210. The locking member 210 is also provided with a mating part 212, which is located on the side of the second stop member 740 facing the installation groove 111. One end of the first elastic member 220 abuts against the mating part 212 and the other end abuts against the second stop member 740. Optionally, one end of the first elastic member 220 is connected to the mating part 212 and the other end is connected to the second stop member 740.
[0080] In this embodiment, the protrusion 211 and the second stop member 740 work together to limit the locking member 210 from sliding too far toward the mounting groove 111, thereby making the locking member 210 more stable.
[0081] Optionally, refer to Figure 7 As shown, the inner wall of the mounting channel 112 is provided with a second mating groove 115, and a portion of the second stop member 740 is provided in the second mating groove 115, so that the second stop member 740 is disposed on the inner wall of the mounting channel 112. The second mating groove 115 is provided, for example, along the circumference of the locking member 210. The second mating groove 115 can be used to determine the installation position of the second stop member 740 more conveniently and quickly, thereby improving the installation efficiency of the second stop member 740.
[0082] Optionally, the first elastic element 220 may be sleeved on the locking element 210, and the second elastic element 710 and the third elastic element 720 may both be sleeved on the operating element 400, so as to facilitate positioning of the first elastic element 220, the second elastic element 710 and the third elastic element 720, reduce the shaking of the first elastic element 220, the second elastic element 710 and the third elastic element 720 and improve the space utilization of the wearable device.
[0083] In other alternative embodiments, the locking member 210 may not include the protrusion 211. In this case, when the force on the locking member 210 can overcome the elastic force of the first elastic member 220, the locking member 210 can slide toward the mounting groove 111.
[0084] In another embodiment, the number of locking mechanisms 200 is at least two, including a first locking mechanism 200a and a second locking mechanism 200b. The first locking mechanism 200a and the second locking mechanism 200b are symmetrical about a line parallel to the depth direction of the mounting groove 111. Optionally, the axis of the operating member 400 is, for example, parallel to the depth direction of the mounting groove 111, and the first locking mechanism 200a and the second locking mechanism 200b are, for example, symmetrical about the axis of the operating member 400. With this configuration, both the first locking mechanism 200a and the second locking mechanism 200b can be engaged with the snap-fit portion 410 for limiting, thereby improving the connection reliability between the connector 500 and the device body 100. Furthermore, the symmetrical arrangement of the first locking mechanism 200a and the second locking mechanism 200b ensures that the operating member 400 is subjected to more even force, thus making the assembly and disassembly of the connector 500 smoother.
[0085] In other alternative embodiments, the number of locking mechanisms 200 may also be one, and the first locking mechanism 200a and the second locking mechanism 200b may also be asymmetrical.
[0086] In another embodiment, reference Figure 5 As shown, the main body 100 of the device includes, for example, a body 110, a first cover 120, and a second cover 130. The first cover 120 and the second cover 130 are respectively located on opposite sides of the body 110 in the thickness direction and are both connected to the body 110. The mounting groove 111 mentioned above is provided in the body 110, and the mounting groove 111 penetrates the body 110 along the thickness direction and forms a first opening and a second opening, respectively. The first cover 120 covers the first opening, and the second cover 130 covers the second opening. In the case of a wearable device being a smartwatch, the first cover 120 is, for example, the watch face of the smartwatch, and the second cover 130 is, for example, the watch cover of the smartwatch. With this configuration, due to the presence of the first and second openings, the operating component 400 can be easily placed into the mounting groove 111 and can be easily removed from the mounting groove 111.
[0087] Furthermore, both the first cover 120 and the second cover 130 are detachably connected to the body 110 to facilitate opening and closing the first and second openings. Of course, the first cover 120 and the second cover 130 can also be non-detachably connected to the body 110.
[0088] In another embodiment, reference Figure 6 and Figure 11As shown, the connector 500 is provided with a guide 520, and correspondingly, the main body 100 is provided with a guide hole 114. The extension direction of the guide hole 114 is the same as the depth direction of the mounting groove 111. During the installation of the connector 500, the guide 520 is gradually inserted into the guide hole 114. The guide hole 114 guides the movement of the guide 520, thereby guiding the movement of the connector 500. This allows the operating member 400 to be inserted into the mounting groove 111 more smoothly and quickly.
[0089] In another embodiment, reference Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, the main body 100 of the device is provided with a receiving groove 116. When the operating member 400 moves to the locked position, at least a portion of the connector 500 is located in the receiving groove 116. With this arrangement, at least a portion of the connector 500 is hidden in the receiving groove 116, which makes the overall size of the wearable device smaller and makes the space utilization of the wearable device higher.
[0090] In another embodiment, reference Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the number of connecting straps 300 is, for example, two. Each connecting strap 300 corresponds one-to-one with a connector 500, and each connector 500 corresponds one-to-one with an operating element 400, with each connector 500 engaging with a corresponding operating element 400. Similarly, each operating element 400 corresponds one-to-one with a mounting slot 111, with each operating element 400 engaging with a corresponding mounting slot 111. (Refer to...) Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the two mounting slots 111 are respectively provided on opposite sides of the main body 100 of the device.
[0091] refer to Figure 20 As shown, the installation of the connection strap 300 of the wearable device provided in this embodiment includes, for example, the following steps:
[0092] S110, insert the guide 520 on the connector 500 mentioned above into the guide hole 114 of the device body 100 mentioned above, and push the connector 500 so that the connector 500 and the operating member 400 slide together toward the mounting groove 111 until the first driving slope on the locking member 210 and the first driving slope on the snap-fit part 410 come into contact.
[0093] S120, continue to push the connector 500 to slide toward the mounting groove 111. During this process, the locking member 210 overcomes the elastic force of the first elastic member 220 under the action of the first driving inclined surface and slides away from the operating member 400.
[0094] S130, the operating member 400 moves to the locking position, that is, the snap-fit part 410 moves to the side of the locking member 210 facing the bottom of the mounting groove 111. The locking member 210 is reset under the action of the first elastic member 220. At this time, the locking member 210 and the snap-fit part 410 are in a limited fit, and the connecting belt 300 is installed.
[0095] refer to Figure 21 As shown, the disassembly of the connecting strap 300 of the wearable device provided in this embodiment includes, for example, the following steps:
[0096] S210, the operating member 400 is moved along the direction close to the bottom of the mounting groove 111. During this process, under the cooperation of the second driving slope 610 of the transition member 600 and the first driving slope of the locking member 210, the locking member 210 slides in the direction away from the operating member 400.
[0097] S220, when the locking member 210 is located on the side of the transition member 600 away from the snap-fit portion 410, the external force on the operating member 400 is removed, and the operating member 400 is automatically moved along the direction away from the bottom of the mounting groove 111 by the elastic force of the third elastic member 720. During this process, the snap-fit portion 410 approaches the transition member 600 and fits against the transition member 600. During this process, the position of the locking member 210 remains unchanged, for example, under the elastic force of the first elastic member 220.
[0098] S230, when the engaging part 410 is in contact with the transition member 600, the operating member 400 continues to move in the direction away from the bottom of the mounting groove 111. At this time, under the cooperation of the third driving inclined surface 620 on the transition member 600 and the first driving inclined surface of the locking member 210, the locking member 210 slides in the direction away from the operating member 400, so that the locking member 210 transitions to the engaging part 410 through the transition member 600.
[0099] S240, under the elastic force of the third elastic member 720, the snap-fit part 410 moves to the side of the locking member 210 away from the bottom of the mounting groove 111. In this state, the limiting fit between the snap-fit part 410 and the locking member 210 is released. Then, the connector 500 is removed from the main body 100 of the equipment, and the disassembly of the connecting belt 300 is completed.
[0100] It should be noted that in step S220, the first force provided by the third elastic member 720 to the transition member 600 along the depth direction of the mounting groove 111 is, for example, greater than the second force provided by the locking member 210 to the transition member 600 along the depth direction of the mounting groove 111, so that the elastic force of the third elastic member 720 can drive the operating member 400 to move automatically in a direction away from the bottom of the mounting groove 111. Furthermore, in step S220, the second force provided by the locking member 210 to the transition member 600 is, for example, greater than the third force provided by the second elastic member 710 to the transition member 600 along the depth direction of the mounting groove 111, so that the transition member 600 can approach the engaging portion 410 and fit against it. Additionally, Figures 1 to 21 In the diagram, arrow A indicates the direction of movement of the operating member 400, arrow B indicates the direction of sliding of the locking member 210, and arrow C indicates the direction of movement of the connector 500. Furthermore, if the elastic force of the third elastic member 720 is small, or if the third elastic member 720 is not provided, external force can be used to move the operating member 400 in a direction away from the bottom of the mounting groove 111.
