On the basis of providing the original device functions, the hearing aids can also be taken and placed on the wearable devices. However, due to the limitations of the wearable device structure, the coordination stability between the hearing aid and the wearable device is relatively poor. When the wearable device is in the worn state, the hearing aid can easily detach from the wearable device, resulting in the loss of the hearing aid, which is not conducive to the use of the hearing-impaired.

[0041] In order to make the technical problems solved by the present invention, the technical solutions adopted and the technical effects achieved clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention are further described in detail below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0042] In the description of the present invention, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "connected", "connected", and "fixed" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, it can be the internal connection of two elements or the interaction relationship between two elements. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0043] In the present invention, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, a first feature being "above" or "below" a second feature may include that the first and second features are in direct contact, or may include that the first and second features are not in direct contact but are in contact through another feature between them. Moreover, a first feature being "above", "above" and "above" a second feature includes that the first feature is directly above and obliquely above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is higher in level than the second feature. A first feature being "below", "below" and "below" a second feature includes that the first feature is directly below and obliquely below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is lower in level than the second feature.

[0044] At present, presbycusis has become the leading cause of hearing disability in my country, accounting for 51.6%. Hearing loss usually occurs secretly around the age of 50 and slowly worsens. Before entering the threshold of 65 years old, their hearing loss is mild to moderate. Without any intervention, the probability of developing presbycusis around the age of 85 is more than 50%.

[0045] For elderly people with moderate to severe hearing loss, a hearing aid 30 is almost the only option to solve the hearing loss problem. A hearing aid 30, such as a hearing aid and a hearing aid, is a small instrument that can help the hearing-impaired improve their hearing. In some cases, the hearing aid 30 can amplify the sound signals in the environment so that people can hear the sounds more clearly. In other cases, the hearing aid 30 can amplify sounds that were originally inaudible, and then use the residual hearing of the hearing-impaired to send the sounds to the auditory center of the brain, so that the sounds can be felt, bringing convenience to the hearing-impaired.

[0046] However, due to the generally high age of hearing-impaired people, most older hearing-impaired people have problems with varying degrees of memory loss, decreased flexibility of hands and feet, and other problems caused by human aging. Therefore, hearing-impaired people often have a series of problems such as forgetting to carry the hearing aid 30. In order to facilitate the carrying and storage of the hearing aid 30, it can be known from the background technology that some hearing-assistive devices will integrate the hearing aid 30 into the wearable device. On the basis of providing the original device functions, the hearing aid 30 can also be taken and placed on the wearable device. However, this also leads to the following problems. Due to the limitations of the wearable device structure, the coordination stability between the hearing aid 30 and the wearable device is relatively poor. When the wearable device is in a worn state, the hearing aid 30 can easily detach from the wearable device, resulting in the loss of the hearing aid 30, which is not conducive to the use of the hearing-impaired.

[0047] To this end, the present embodiment provides a smart wearable device, which changes the matching mode between the hearing aid 30 and the device body 10 as a wearable device and optimizes the matching structure between the two, thereby solving a series of problems such as the hearing aid 30 having poor stability when stored in the device body 10, which causes the hearing aid 30 to easily fall off from the device body 10.

[0048] Please refer to the attached Figure 1-Figure 7 The smart wearable device refers to an electronic device that can be worn on the human body and has the ability to realize corresponding functions, and the smart wearable device specifically includes a device body 10 and a hearing aid 30.

[0049] The device body 10 serves as the supporting basis of the smart wearable device. In the specific application scenario of the smart wearable device, it can be worn on the human body, for example, it can be a smart watch, a smart wristband 40, etc. that can be worn on the human wrist, or it can be a smart collar that can be worn on the human neck, a smart headdress that can be worn on the human head, etc. Therefore, the device body 10 can make adaptive adjustments to its structural form according to the corresponding part of the human body where it is to be worn, and install the corresponding wearable components on the device body 10. For example, in the present embodiment, the device body 10 is configured to be worn on the human wrist, and the device body 10 is correspondingly provided with a wristband 40 as the above-mentioned wearable component, so that the wristband 40 can cooperate with the device body 10 to wrap around the user's wrist.

[0050] As an example of one specific structural form of the device body 10, at least one storage groove 11 is opened on the side of the device body 10, and the storage groove 11 is exposed to the outside of the device body 10 through its notch. It can also be understood that the notch of the storage groove 11 is formed on the outer side of the device body 10 so that the storage groove 11 is connected to the outside of the device body 10 through its notch.

[0051] The smart wearable device is located on the device body 10, and further includes a fixed component 20 that is movably mounted on the device body 10. The fixed component 20 is located outside the device body 10, so that the surface of the fixed component 20 can form an operating position outside the device body 10 for the user to operate. When the user applies an external force to the fixed component 20 through the operating position, the fixed component 20 can be driven by the external force to move between the locked position and the unlocked position relative to the device body 10. It should be noted that at this stage, this embodiment does not make specific and strict restrictions on the relative movement mode between the fixed component 20 and the device body 10. Any form of active cooperation mode can be adopted between the fixed component 20 and the device body 10, and any active mode can be used to achieve the relative movement between the two, for example:

[0052] In one embodiment, the fixing member 20 and the device body 10 can be operated in a relative rotational manner to realize the switching of the position state. The fixing member 20 can rotate relative to the device body 10 under the drive of the user, that is, the locking position and the unlocking position can be located at intervals on the rotation track of the fixing member 20, so that the fixing member 20 can rotate and switch between the locking position and the unlocking position with the rotational movement relative to the device body 10;

[0053] As a further example of this embodiment, the fixing component 20 can be rotatably connected to the device body 10 by being inserted into the axial hole through a rotating shaft; or, the device body 10 can also be provided with an arc groove, and the fixing component 20 can be movably embedded in the arc groove, so that the fixing component 20 can rotate along the arc groove relative to the device body 10 under the constraint of the arc groove.

[0054] In another embodiment, the fixing component 20 and the device body 10 can switch the position state by pressing operation, and the fixing component 20 can move in the direction close to the device body 10 under the drive of the user, and an energy storage component can be arranged between the fixing component 20 and the device body 10, so that the fixing component 20 can be kept in a locked position relatively far away from the device body 10 in the state without external force, and by pressing the fixing component 20, the fixing component 20 moves in the direction close to the device body 10 to the unlocked position;

[0055] Of course, by adopting the principle of switching the position state of the fixing component 20 in the above embodiment, the fixing component 20 and the device body 10 can also adopt a lifting operation mode to switch the position state of the fixing component 20, and the fixing component 20 can move in a direction away from the device body 10 under the drive of the user, and an energy storage component can be arranged between the fixing component 20 and the device body 10, so that the fixing component 20 can be kept in a locked position relatively close to the device body 10 in the absence of external force, and by lifting the fixing component 20, the fixing component 20 is moved in a direction away from the device body 10 to the unlocked position;

[0056] In the above-mentioned embodiment, the fixing component 20 can be a button movably provided on the device body 10, or a handle component movably provided on the device body 10, according to the specific method of realizing the position switching.

[0057] Alternatively, in other embodiments, the fixing component 20 and the device body 10 can be pushed to achieve the switching of the position state of the fixing component 20. For example, the fixing component 20 can move along the direction extending along the surface of the device body 10 under the drive of the user, thereby achieving the switching of the fixing component 20 between the locked position and the unlocked position.

[0058] In the push operation mode, the fixing component 20 can be configured as a push plate slidably mounted on the surface of the device body 10, or a push rod slidably mounted on the surface of the device body 10, etc.

[0059] Continuing with the above embodiment, it should be understood that the hearing aid 30 in this embodiment can be a hearing aid or a hearing aid and other devices with hearing assistance functions, and at least part of the structure of the hearing aid 30 is adapted to the structure of the above-mentioned storage groove 11, so that the hearing aid 30 can be removably embedded in the storage groove 11, and at least part of the hearing aid 30 protrudes out of the outside of the storage groove 11 through the notch of the storage groove 11.

[0060] In this example, the portion of the hearing aid 30 protruding from the notch of the receiving slot 11 mainly provides at least the following two functions:

[0061] 1. Provide a holding position for the user. When the hearing aid 30 is embedded in the storage slot 11, the user can hold the position protruding from the device body 10 so as to apply a force to the hearing aid 30 in a direction of detaching from the storage slot 11 through the notch of the storage slot 11 while holding the hearing aid 30. Also, when the hearing aid 30 is detached from the storage slot 11, the user can hold the position so as to place the hearing aid 30 back into the storage slot 11 through the notch of the storage slot 11.

[0062] Second, it can cooperate with the fixing component 20 in a limited position. The fixing component 20 can cooperate with the hearing aid 30 in a limited position in the locked position to restrict the movement of the hearing aid 30. When the fixing component 20 is in the unlocked position, the fixing component 20 releases the hearing aid 30 so that the hearing aid 30 can be taken out of the storage slot 11.

[0063] According to the above embodiments, in some operation modes of the fixing component 20, an energy storage component (such as a spring, rubber or other component or material with a certain elastic reset performance) can be added between the fixing component 20 and the device body 10, so that the fixing component 20 can be kept in the locked position without external force driving, ensuring that the connection and cooperation between the fixing component 20 and the hearing aid 30 remain relatively stable. Of course, this embodiment does not exclude the use of a fixed structure to achieve relative fixation of the fixing component 20 with the device body 10 in the locked position and the unlocked position. Under the operation of the user, the fixing component 20 can be switched between the locked position and the unlocked position, while being able to be stable in the locked position and the unlocked position to meet the needs of different use situations of the smart wearable device. For example, a buckle structure, a wedging structure or the like is provided between the fixing component 20 and the device body 10 at the locked position and the unlocked position, respectively, so that the two can maintain a relatively stable matching state within a certain external force range.

[0064] On the basis of the above-mentioned embodiment, a magnetic component can be further provided at a position inside the device body 10 corresponding to the storage slot 11 and between the hearing aid 30, so as to achieve the purpose of enabling the hearing aid 30 to be quickly stabilized in the storage slot 11 when embedded in the storage slot 11. Exemplarily, the magnetic component can be a first magnetic component provided in the device body 10, and a second magnetic component provided in the hearing aid 30. When the hearing aid 30 is close to and at least partially embedded in the storage slot 11, a magnetic attraction force is generated between the first magnetic component and the second magnetic component, so that there is a magnetic attraction tendency between the hearing aid 30 and the device body 10, so that the hearing aid 30 can be stabilized in the storage slot 11 under the action of the magnetic component.

[0065] Several matching methods of the first magnetic member and the second magnetic member are provided below:

[0066] (1) Both the first magnetic member and the second magnetic member are magnets. In this matching mode, the magnetic poles of the first magnetic member and the second magnetic member are opposite to each other;

[0067] (2) The first magnetic member is a magnet, and the second magnetic member is a magnetic material;

[0068] (3) The second magnetic member is a magnet, and the first magnetic member is a magnetic material.

[0069] The magnetic material mentioned above refers to a material that can react to a magnetic field in some way. The magnetic material referred to in this embodiment specifically refers to ferromagnetic materials and ferrimagnetic materials, which are strong magnetic materials that can react to a magnetic field of a magnet and be attracted by it.

[0070] Of course, at least one of the first magnetic component and the second magnetic component can also be set as an electromagnet. By embedding the hearing aid 30 in the storage slot 11, so that the hearing aid 30 and the device body 10 are electrically connected through the electrical connection component, the first magnetic component and / or the second magnetic component as electromagnets are turned on to generate mutual magnetic attraction, thereby achieving the same technical effect as mentioned above.

[0071] It should be pointed out that in addition to providing the function of initial stable cooperation between the hearing aid 30 and the device body 10, the magnetic component can also rely on the magnetic component to achieve the purpose of rapid positioning between the hearing aid 30 and the device body 10, that is, when the hearing aid 30 is adsorbed in the storage slot 11 through the magnetic component, the magnetic component can play a preliminary restraining function on the position state of the hearing aid 30 in the storage slot 11, so that when the fixing component 20 moves from the unlocked position to the locked position, the hearing aid 30 can be accurately further restrained and limited.

[0072] For example, in an implementation embodiment in which mutual restraint and limitation are achieved between the hearing aid 30 and the fixed component 20 by respectively provided a first limiting portion (not shown) and a second limiting portion (not shown), when the hearing aid 30 is embedded in the storage slot 11 and adsorbed in the storage slot 11 through a magnetic component, the first limiting portion is located on the movement trajectory of the second limiting portion, so that the second limiting portion can form a limiting cooperation relationship with the second limiting portion when it moves to the first limiting portion (locking position).

[0073] Based on the above-mentioned solution of using magnetic components to quickly and preliminarily position the hearing aid 30 and the device body 10, it is not ruled out that a magnetic component is further provided between the fixing component 20 and the hearing aid 30 so that the hearing aid 30 can be further constrained and limited by the magnetic component when the fixing component 20 is in the locked position.

[0074] According to the technical solution provided above, the smart wearable device opens a storage groove 11 corresponding to the hearing aid 30 on the side of the device body 10, so that the hearing aid 30 can be stably embedded in the device body 10 through the storage groove 11, thereby achieving the effect of quickly forming a preliminary positioning of the hearing aid 30 and the device body 10, and facilitating the hearing aid 30 to quickly form a matching relationship with the device body 10 during the storage process, so as to facilitate subsequent further limiting operations. By providing a fixing component 20 on the device body 10 that can move relative to the device body 10, the user can manipulate the fixing component 20 as needed to realize the restraint and limitation of the hearing aid 30 located in the storage slot 11 by the fixing component 20, or release the restriction on the hearing aid 30, so that the hearing aid 30 can be restrained in a state embedded in the storage slot 11 when not in use, ensuring a strong matching stability between the hearing aid 30 and the device body 10, avoiding the problem of the hearing aid 30 being lost due to separation from the device body 10, and facilitating the user's long-term wearing and use.

[0075] Please continue to refer to the attached Figure 2-Figure 5 In order to have a deeper understanding of this solution, this embodiment establishes a coordinate system in three directions of X, Y and Z axes for the device body 10. Specifically, the X-axis direction described in this embodiment can be understood as the length direction of the device body 10, that is, Figure 2-Figure 5 The "X-axis direction" is indicated by the arrow in the figure, and for the convenience of subsequent understanding, in this embodiment, the opposite ends of the X-axis direction are defined as the top and bottom of the device body 10 respectively; the Y-axis direction described in this embodiment can be understood as the width direction of the device body 10, that is, the width of the device body 10. Figure 2-Figure 5 The “Y-axis direction” is indicated by the arrow in the figure. For the convenience of subsequent understanding, in this embodiment, the opposite sides of the Y-axis direction are defined as the left side and the right side of the device body 10 respectively; and the Z-axis direction described in this embodiment can be understood as the thickness direction of the device body 10, that is, the thickness direction of the device body 10. Figure 2-Figure 3 The “Z-axis direction” is indicated by the arrow in the figure. For the convenience of subsequent understanding, in the present embodiment, the two opposite sides of the Z-axis direction are respectively defined as the front side and the rear side of the device body 10 .

[0076] According to the above definition, in one embodiment, at least one end (i.e., the top or bottom) of the device body 10 in the X-axis direction is configured to be connected to a wearable component. Taking the device body 10 as an embodiment that can be worn on the human wrist as an example, the top and bottom ends of the device body 10 are connected to a wristband 40 that can be arranged around the human wrist in cooperation with the device body 10, and it can be understood that the wristband 40 can be an integral structure or a split structure; and taking the device body 10 as an example that can be worn on the human neck, the device body 10 can be worn on the human neck through wearable components such as collars and necklaces at its top and / or bottom.

[0077] In order to avoid interference between the hearing aid 30 and the wearable parts, the storage groove 11 is arranged on at least one side of the device body 10 in the Y-axis direction. In this way, it is also convenient for the user to take and place the hearing aid 30 from the device body 10 when the device body 10 is worn.

[0078] In order to reduce or even avoid interference with the user's limb movements when the device body 10 is worn in some states, the length dimension of the device body 10 in the X-axis direction is greater than the length dimension in the Y-axis direction, so that the device body 10 has a roughly long strip structure, reducing the proportion of the width dimension on the device body 10.

[0079] Below, an exemplary description in at least one wearing state is provided according to the structure of the device body 10 described above:

[0080] In an implementation example in which the smart wearable device is worn on the user's wrist, the top and bottom ends of the device body 10 are both provided with a wristband 40 that can be worn on the human wrist. When the device body 10 is worn on the user's wrist with the wristband 40, the device body 10 rests against the user's arm through its rear side in the Z-axis direction, and its front side in the Z-axis direction serves as the appearance surface of the smart wearable device. The X-axis direction of the device body 10 extends along the circumferential direction of the user's wrist. At this time, the Y-axis direction of the device body 10 is parallel or nearly parallel to the length direction of the user's arm. In this way, when the Y-axis direction of the device body 10 accounts for a small proportion, the probability of interference between the device body 10 and the user's wrist activities can be effectively reduced, thereby improving the user's wearing comfort.

[0081] Similarly, when the wearable device is supported and worn on the neck of the user, the wearable component can be connected only to the top or bottom of the device body 10, so that the X-axis direction of the device body 10 is parallel or nearly parallel to the center line of the user's upper body, thereby maintaining the stability of the device body 10 in the wearing state;

[0082] On the basis of the above, the hearing aid 30 is arranged on at least one side in the Y-axis direction of the device body 10. In addition to avoiding mutual interference with the wearable parts, through the above-mentioned arrangement, when the hearing aid 30 is embedded in the storage slot 11, the part of the hearing aid 30 protruding from the side of the device body 10 can make the device body 10 as a whole more balanced, thereby improving the rationality of the layout of the smart wearable device, and the hearing aid 30 protrudes in the Y-axis direction of the device body 10 to balance the proportion of the device in the width direction.

[0083] In order to enhance the user experience of the smart wearable device, storage slots 11 are provided on opposite sides of the device body 10. Specifically, based on the above-mentioned embodiment, the storage slots 11 are respectively provided on the left and right sides of the device body 10. When there is only one hearing aid 30, the user can select the hearing aid 30 to be embedded in the storage slots 11 at different positions according to his or her own usage habits and the current wearing status of the smart wearable device, thereby improving the user experience.

[0084] In this example, the number of hearing aids 30 corresponding to the storage slots 11 is configured to be two, and the two hearing aids 30 are respectively embedded in the two storage slots 11 so that the user can choose to use the hearing aid 30 for only one ear or for both ears according to their actual situation.

[0085] Following the above-mentioned embodiment in which two hearing aids 30 are configured, combined with the above-mentioned embodiment in which the structure of the device body 10 is limited, when the two hearing aids 30 are embedded in the storage groove 11, the two hearing aids 30 are disposed on the left and right sides of the device body 10 in the Y-axis direction. This arrangement can facilitate the user to distinguish between the hearing aids 30 worn on the left ear and the right ear respectively, thereby improving the user's usage experience.

[0086] Please continue to refer to the attached Figure 2-Figure 6 The first end of the hearing aid 30 is provided with a head and a tail connected in sequence from the first end to the second end. In some embodiments, the volume of the head of the hearing aid 30 is larger than the volume of the tail, so as to provide a storage space for electronic components such as a circuit board and a loudspeaker of the hearing aid 30, while the tail of the hearing aid 30 can be used to provide a storage space for components such as batteries that are relatively small in volume and have a highly adaptable structural form.

[0087] In this embodiment, the hearing aid 30 adopts an open sound transmission method, that is, when the hearing aid 30 is worn on the ear of the hearing impaired, the hearing aid 30 can be worn on the ear of the hearing impaired by hanging, clamping, etc. The head of the hearing aid 30 configured to play amplified audio is located close to the ear canal of the hearing impaired, and the hearing aid 30 is prevented from compressing and blocking the ear canal to cause bacterial infection and other problems. It can also improve the wearing comfort of the hearing aid 30 and extend the use time of the device.

[0088] In one embodiment, based on the implementation that the volume of the head of the hearing aid 30 is larger than the volume of the tail, and combined with the above-mentioned device body 10 being designed in a long strip shape and configured to have two hearing aids 30, since the size of the device body 10 in the Y-axis direction (width direction) is small, it is difficult to arrange the hearing aids 30 on the left and right sides of the device body 10 in a mirrored manner. If the two hearing aids 30 are arranged in a mirrored manner on the left and right sides of the device body 10, the spacing of the device body 10 along the Y-axis direction at this location will be too small due to the larger head of the hearing aid 30. The electronic devices, wires, etc. located inside the device body 10 cannot be arranged in the device body 10, which is not conducive to the layout of the internal space of the device body 10. Therefore, this embodiment adopts the following scheme to design the layout of the two hearing aids 30 in the above-mentioned embodiment:

[0089] When both hearing aids 30 are embedded in the storage slot 11, the head of one hearing aid 30 is arranged near the top of the device body 10, specifically, the hearing aid 30 is arranged from top to bottom along the X-axis direction of the device body 10 from its head to its tail, while the head of the other hearing aid 30 is arranged near the bottom of the device body 10, specifically, the hearing aid 30 is arranged from bottom to top along the X-axis direction of the device body 10 from its head to its tail. The two hearing aids 30 are located on the left and right sides of the device body 10 in a head-to-tail position, thereby reducing the space occupancy rate at the same position of the device body 10, improving its internal utilization rate, and making the device layout inside the device body 10 more reasonable, thereby effectively improving the structural compactness of the device body 10 and reducing the volume of the device body 10.

[0090] At the same time, the two hearing aids 30 are installed in opposite ways, which can also improve the overall visual effect of the smart wearable device, make the product more design-oriented, and make the hearing aid device with a relatively old-fashioned structure easier to be accepted by the hearing impaired, thereby improving the user experience.

[0091] Please continue to refer to the attached Figure 1-Figure 2In the above-mentioned embodiment where two hearing aids 30 are provided, in order to save the user the steps of locking and unlocking the hearing aids 30 and reduce the difficulty of the operation of the process, the present embodiment sets the fixing component 20 as an integral part, that is, the hearing aids 30 located on the opposite sides of the device body 10 are synchronously locked and unlocked by the fixing component 20 of integral design. Specifically, a part of the fixing component 20 is movably mounted on the device body 10, and for the hearing aids 30 protruding from both sides of the device body 10, the fixing component 20 can be set as a mirror-symmetrical structure, and its two sides extend from the opposite sides of the device body 10 in the Y-axis direction and form a first limiting part, two, two first limiting parts are respectively arranged close to the two opposite storage grooves 11, so that the first limiting part can be in a position as close to the hearing aid 30 as possible when the hearing aid 30 is embedded in the storage groove 11, so that it is easier to achieve the limiting cooperation with the hearing aid 30. Correspondingly, a second limiting portion is formed on the portion of the hearing aid 30 that protrudes out of the storage slot 11. When the hearing aid 30 is embedded in the storage slot 11, the fixing component 20 can limit the movement of the hearing aid 30 through the first limiting portion and the second limiting portion.

[0092] By operating the fixing component 20, the fixing component 20 can simultaneously achieve limited cooperation with the hearing aids 30 on both sides in the locked position, and simultaneously release the two hearing aids 30, thereby achieving the above-mentioned convenient operation effect.

[0093] Of course, in other embodiments, the fixing component 20 may also be a split structure, and the user can selectively operate any fixing component 20 according to current needs. For example, when the user only needs to wear a single-sided hearing aid 30, the user can only operate one of the fixing components 20, thereby unlocking the hearing aid 30 on the corresponding side and taking it out of the storage slot 11 to wear it, thereby avoiding the other hearing aid 30 located in the corresponding storage slot 11 from falling off during this process.

[0094] In this example, the fixing component 20 is designed as an integrated part. In addition to being easy to operate, the integrated fixing component 20 also has the advantage of being easy to process and assemble, making the smart wearable device more integrated and compact, and improving the product design.

[0095] Please refer to the attached Figure 6The hearing aid 30 of this embodiment adopts the above-mentioned open sound transmission method and takes the ear-clip wearing method as an example. The hearing aid 30 specifically includes a first clamping part 31 and a second clamping part 32. According to the above description, the first clamping part 31 serves as the head of the hearing aid 30, and the first clamping part 31 is used to set the electronic components of the hearing aid 30 such as a loudspeaker and a circuit board. Moreover, when the hearing aid 30 is worn, the first clamping part 31 is worn close to the human ear canal. The second clamping part 32 serves as the tail of the hearing aid 30, and the second clamping part 32 is used to provide an installation space for electronic components with strong structural adaptability such as batteries.

[0096] Furthermore, a clamping space for clamping the user's auricle is formed between the first clamping portion 31 and the second clamping portion 32. In order to allow the user's ear to enter the clamping space and be clamped by the first clamping portion 31 and the second clamping portion 32, the second clamping portion 32 is rotatably connected to the first clamping portion 31 via a rotating assembly 33. The second clamping portion 32 adjusts the clamping space by relative rotation with the first clamping portion 31, thereby narrowing or expanding the clamping space and achieving clamping and release of the wearer's ear.

[0097] As a specific example of the hearing aid 30, under the relative rotation of the first clamping part 31 and the second clamping part 32, the hearing aid 30 can be movably adjusted between the clamping position and the unfolded position. It should be understood that when the hearing aid 30 is in the clamping position, the clamping space is smaller than the clamping space when the hearing aid 30 is in the unfolded position.

[0098] Since the hearing aid 30 needs to be moved toward the unfolded position before it can be removed from the user's ear, the hearing aid 30 of this embodiment is also configured to be embedded in the storage slot 11 in the unfolded position, which is convenient for the user to operate. At the same time, since the size in the Y-axis direction in the unfolded position is relatively small, it will not appear too abrupt when embedded in the device body 10. Therefore, the hearing aid 30 is also configured to be embedded in the storage slot 11 in the unfolded position.

[0099] In order to make the structure of the first clamping part 31 and the second clamping part 32 compatible with the structure of the human ear, so that the hearing aid device has a certain ergonomic design and improves the user's wearing comfort, in this embodiment, the overall structure of the first clamping part 31 and the second clamping part 32 is arc-shaped in the expanded position, which will cause the end of the hearing aid 30 that is opposite to each other to enter the storage groove 11 first during the process of being embedded in the storage groove 11. Therefore, in this example, the hearing aid 30 is embedded in the storage groove 11 through the two ends of the first clamping part 31 and the second clamping part 32 that are opposite to each other, and the end of the first clamping part 31 and the second clamping part 32 that is close to each other can naturally protrude to the outside of the storage groove 11 through the notch of the storage groove 11, providing a corresponding limit matching position for the fixing component 20, and providing the user with the force application position required for holding.

[0100] In some embodiments, when the fixing component 20 is in the locked position and is limitedly engaged with the hearing aid 30, the hearing aid 30 can be configured so that only the first clamping portion 31 is limitedly engaged with the fixing component 20, that is, the above-mentioned second limiting portion is only arranged on the first clamping portion 31, or the hearing aid 30 can be configured so that only the second clamping portion 32 is limitedly engaged with the fixing component 20, that is, the above-mentioned second limiting portion is only arranged on the second clamping portion 32, or the hearing aid 30 is configured so that the first clamping portion 31 cooperates with the second clamping portion 32 to achieve limited engagement with the fixing component 20, that is, the above-mentioned second limiting portion is arranged on the first clamping portion 31 and the second clamping portion 32.

[0101] The original structure of the hearing aid 30 is utilized to realize the protruding design when it is embedded in the storage groove 11, so that the structural transition between the device body 10 and the hearing aid 30 is more natural and reasonable, and there is no need to further design a limiting structure for cooperating with the fixing component 20 based on the original structure of the hearing aid 30.

[0102] As a further implementation of the above scheme, please continue to refer to the attached Figure 2-Figure 7 In order to make it easier for the user to remove the hearing aid device from the device body 10, the following provides three setting methods, taking the case where the hearing aid 30 is embedded in the storage slot 11 as an example:

[0103] 1. A hand-gripping gap 34 is formed between one end of the first clamping portion 31 close to the second clamping portion 32 and the device body 10;

[0104] 2. A hand-gripping gap 34 is formed between one end of the second clamping portion 32 close to the first clamping portion 31 and the device body 10;

[0105] 3. A hand-gripping gap 34 is formed between the end of the first clamping portion 31 and the end of the second clamping portion 32 that are close to each other and the device body 10 .

[0106] Based on the structure of the original hearing aid 30, the distance between the part protruding outside the storage slot 11 and the device body 10 is further increased, so that a certain gap space (i.e., the hand-picking gap 34 mentioned above) is formed between the part of the hearing aid 30 near the middle and the device body 10, so that the user's hand can be at least partially inserted into the gap space (for example, by inserting the index finger at least partially into the hand-picking gap 34) and applying a force to the hearing aid 30 to move it away from the storage slot 11.

[0107] In order to improve the compatibility between the storage slot 11 and the hearing aid 30, and to make the hearing aid 30 have a higher matching stability with the device body 10 when embedded in the storage slot 11, based on the above-mentioned implementation method for the structure of the hearing aid 30, the storage slot 11 located on at least one side of the device body 10 in this implementation method includes a first groove 111 and a second groove 112 arranged at intervals along the X-axis direction, wherein the first groove 111 is used to embed the head of the hearing aid device (which can be understood as the end of the first clamping portion 31 away from the second clamping portion 32), and the second groove 112 is used to embed the tail of the hearing aid device (which can be understood as the end of the second clamping portion 32 away from the first clamping portion 31), and the structure of the first groove 111 is compatible with the head structure of the hearing aid device, and the structure of the second groove 112 is compatible with the tail structure of the hearing aid device.

[0108] On the basis of the above-mentioned embodiment, the fixing member 20 of this embodiment is set as a circular ring structure, such as Figure 1-Figure 7 As shown, in the Z-axis direction of the device body 10, at least one end of the fixing component 20 protrudes to the outer side of the device body 10 and at least partially overlaps with the hearing aid 30, so that the fixing component 20 can limit the freedom of movement of the hearing aid 30 by relying on the overlapping portion with the hearing aid 30.

[0109] In addition, a clearance space 21 at least partially connected to the hand-picking gap 34 is formed between the portion of the fixing component 20 protruding from the device body 10 and the device body 10, which prevents interference with the user's hand when the user picks out the hearing aid 30, and also provides a point of force for the user's hand, making it easier to take the hearing aid 30 out of the device body 10. Exemplarily, the user can place at least part of his thumb in the clearance space 21, and the index finger can act on the hearing aid 30 from the back side of the device body 10 through the hand-picking gap 34, and completely take the hearing aid 30 out of the storage slot 11.

[0110] Such a setting method can not only achieve a series of purposes such as easy operation provided by the above-mentioned integrated fixing component 20, but also is configured into a circular ring structure and has a structural form that at least partially overlaps with the hearing aid 30. It can greatly improve the product integrity of the smart wearable device and enhance the overall visual effect of the product. At the same time, it can also have the function of further limiting the hearing aid 30, and provide a lever point for the user when removing the hearing aid 30, thereby enhancing the user's operating experience.

[0111] Based on the above-mentioned circular ring structure of the fixing component 20, this embodiment preferably adopts an embodiment in which the fixing component 20 is rotatably connected to the device body 10. In this example, an arc-shaped groove matching the diameter of the fixing component 20 is configured on the front side surface of the device body 10 in the Z-axis direction. The fixing component 20 can be slidably installed in the arc-shaped groove to achieve rotation on the device component. At the same time, both sides of the fixing component 20 can also protrude from the left and right sides of the device body 10 in the Y-axis direction. When it rotates relative to the device body 10, it realizes switching between the locked position and the unlocked position, thereby achieving limited cooperation or release with the part of the hearing aid 30 protruding out of the storage slot 11.

[0112] At the same time, since the fixing component 20 of this embodiment adopts a circular ring structure, when it is set on the device body 10, the front surface of the device body 10 can also be exposed through the middle part of the circular ring structure. When the smart wearable device is used as a smart bracelet, smart watch or other device, this part can provide sufficient installation space for the device screen.

[0113] It is worth mentioning that in the smart wearable device provided in this embodiment, the hearing aid 30 can also rely on the device body 10 to charge it. Specifically, the device body 10 is internally provided with an electrically connected first charging component and a first power source, and the first charging component is at least partially exposed to the outside of the device body 10 through the storage slot 11. The hearing aid 30 is internally provided with an electrically connected second charging component and a second power source, and the second charging component is at least partially exposed to the outside of the hearing aid 30 through the part of the hearing aid 30 used to be embedded in the storage slot 11. When the hearing aid 30 is embedded in the storage slot 11, the first power source and the second power source are electrically connected through the first charging component and the second charging component, so that the first power source charges the second power source, thereby solving the problem of power exhaustion when the hearing-impaired person uses the hearing aid 30 for a long time, and improving the endurance of the hearing aid 30.
