Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of terminal equipment technology, and in particular to dials, connectors and their terminal equipment. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of wearable devices, watches, as common portable smart devices, not only need to have basic functions such as time display and health monitoring, but also need to meet users' needs in various scenarios, such as sports recording, taking pictures, and fast charging.

[0003] However, the design of watches and their accessories in related technologies often suffers from problems such as limited functionality and inconvenient disassembly. Especially when it is necessary to frequently switch between usage modes, such as from wrist wear mode to neckband mode or charging mode, users usually need to use additional tools or go through complicated operation steps, which not only reduces the efficiency of use, but also affects the user experience.

[0004] For example, in related technologies, the connection between the watch and the base or bracket is often fixed with screws, but these designs often require users to apply a lot of force during disassembly, or even use special tools, making the disassembly process cumbersome and time-consuming. Summary of the Invention

[0005] Based on this, a dial, connector, and terminal device are provided, which can be quickly disassembled and installed, improving the user experience.

[0009] The pressing part is movable relative to the main body, so that when the dial is set to the unlock mode, the pressing part can drive the first locking part to move, the first locking part squeezes the first elastic member, and the first elastic member deforms; when the dial is set to the lock mode, the first elastic member resets, thereby driving the first locking part and the pressing part to move to the initial position.

[0010] In one embodiment, the first snap-fit ​​portion includes a support, a snap hook, and a first groove;

[0011] The hook is fixedly connected to the support body, and the first groove is formed on the side of the support body away from the pressing part. The first groove is configured to accommodate a portion of the first elastic member.

[0012] In one embodiment, the quick-release structure further includes a first waterproof portion disposed on the first snap-fit ​​portion, the first snap-fit ​​portion being sealed to the body through the first waterproof portion.

[0013] In one embodiment, the quick-release structure further includes a support base and a seal, the support base being connected to the body, and the first elastic member being connected to the support base via the seal.

[0014] In one embodiment, the pressing part includes a button and a push rod. At least a portion of the button is disposed within the through hole, and the push rod is disposed within the accommodating space. The button is connected to the first snap-fit ​​part via the push rod. The button is configured to drive the push rod to move relative to the body.

[0015] The cross-sectional dimensions of the through hole are smaller than those of the top rod.

[0016] In one embodiment, the pressing part further includes a second elastic element, the body has a second groove, and the through hole is formed on the bottom wall of the second groove;

[0017] The button is connected to the bottom wall of the second groove via the second elastic element, and a portion of the button's structure passes through the through hole and is connected to the top rod.

[0019] The pressing body is disposed in the second groove, and the support rod is located in the through hole.

[0020] In one embodiment, the pressing part further includes a second waterproof part and a limiting member, wherein the second waterproof part and the limiting member are respectively disposed on the support rod;

[0021] The second waterproof part is sandwiched between the through hole and the support rod;

[0022] The limiting member is located within the accommodating space, such that when the pressing part is reset to the initial position, the limiting member abuts against the body.

[0023] A connector, comprising:

[0024] The connecting body is provided with a second snap-fit ​​part, and the connecting body is detachably connected to the dial as described above through the second snap-fit ​​part.

[0025] A terminal device, comprising:

[0026] The dial includes a body and a quick-release structure; the body is provided with a through hole and an accommodating space communicating with the through hole; the quick-release structure includes a pressing part, a first elastic element and a first snap-fit ​​part, at least a portion of the pressing part is disposed in the through hole, the pressing part is connected to the first elastic element through the first snap-fit ​​part, and both the first snap-fit ​​part and the first elastic element are disposed in the accommodating space.

[0027] A connector includes a connecting body, the connecting body being provided with a second snap-fit ​​portion, and the connecting body being detachably connected to the dial via the second snap-fit ​​portion and the first snap-fit ​​portion;

[0028] The pressing part is configured to be movable relative to the main body, so that the terminal device has a locking mode that fixes the dial to the connecting body, and an unlocking mode that unlocks the dial from the connecting body. When the terminal device is in the unlocking mode, the first latching part and the second latching part are staggered, and the first latching part presses the first elastic member, causing the first elastic member to deform.

[0029] The aforementioned dial, connector, and terminal device feature a quick-release structure, enabling rapid disassembly and installation between the dial and connector. Users only need to apply pressure to the pressing part to complete the disassembly and installation, greatly improving user convenience. Furthermore, removing the external force allows the first elastic element to reset the pressing part and the first locking part. Compared to related technologies that require tools or complex operations for disassembly and installation, the quick-release structure in this disclosure significantly shortens operation time and improves efficiency.

[0038] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this application more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a thorough understanding of this application. However, this application can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar modifications without departing from the spirit of this application. Therefore, this application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0039] In the description of this application, it should be understood that if terms such as "center", "longitudinal", "lateral", "length", "width", "thickness", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", "axial", "radial", "circumferential" appear, these terms indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this application.

[0040] Furthermore, where the terms "first" and "second" appear, these terms are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. In the description of this application, where the term "multiple" appears, "multiple" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0041] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "joining," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components, unless otherwise expressly limited. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0042] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the use of descriptions such as "above" or "below" the second feature indicates that the first and second features are in direct contact or indirect contact via an intermediate medium. Furthermore, "above," "on top of," and "over" the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. Similarly, "below," "below," and "under" the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0043] It should be noted that if an element is referred to as being "fixed to" or "set on" another element, it can be directly on the other element or there may be an intervening element. If an element is considered to be "connected to" another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or there may be an intervening element. If so, the terms "vertical," "horizontal," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," and similar expressions used in this application are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent the only possible implementation.

[0044] In some exemplary embodiments, such as Figures 1-5 As shown, a dial 1 includes a body 11 and a quick-release structure 12 to enable quick disassembly between the dial 1 and the connector 2, greatly improving user convenience. The body 11 has a through hole 111 and an accommodating space 112 communicating with the through hole 111. The through hole 111 and the accommodating space 112 can jointly house the quick-release structure 12.

[0045] The through hole 111 is located on the side of the body 11. The shape of the through hole 111 can be circular, rectangular, etc., and its size is designed to be adapted to the size of the quick-release structure 12 so as to facilitate the installation of the quick-release structure 12. This ensures that part of the quick-release structure 12 can be smoothly placed in the through hole 111. At the same time, it can also restrain and limit the quick-release structure 12 to prevent it from shaking or shifting during operation, thus ensuring the stability and reliability of the quick-release structure 12.

[0046] The accommodating space 112 is located inside the main body 11. Its size and shape can be flexibly designed according to the components that need to be accommodated inside the dial 1. For example, it can accommodate power supply equipment in the dial 1, such as a button battery, or mechanical parts, such as gears or pointer drive structures. In addition, the main body 11 is also provided with an opening 113, which communicates with the accommodating space 112. The opening 113 is used to install a display screen (not shown in the figure), etc. Of course, it is understood that the above is only an exemplary description and does not constitute a limitation on this application. The specific implementation shall prevail.

[0047] The interior of the accommodating space 112 can be smoothed to reduce wear on internal components. It is also equipped with corresponding fixing structures, such as slots and buckles. The specific structure is designed according to the shape of the accommodating component and the fixing requirements to ensure that the accommodating component can be placed stably and will not loosen or shift during use.

[0048] In this embodiment, as Figures 1-5 As shown, the quick-release structure 12 includes a pressing part 121, a first elastic element 122, and a first locking part 123. At least a portion of the pressing part 121 is disposed within the through hole 111, which both restrains and limits the pressing part 121 and protects it. The pressing part 121 is made of plastic with sufficient strength and wear resistance to ensure it is not easily damaged under frequent pressing operations. The exposed surface of the pressing part 121 can be treated with an anti-slip finish, such as anti-slip textures, to increase friction when the user presses, facilitating operation.

[0049] The pressing part 121 can move relative to the body 11, for example, it can move along the through hole 111, so that the user can apply external force using the pressing part 121 to perform subsequent operations.

[0050] The first engaging portion 123 is disposed within the accommodating space 112 and has a hook-shaped structure for engaging with the connector 2. The connector 2 may have a slot for engaging with the hook, or it may have a hook-shaped structure for engaging with the hook, ensuring a secure engagement between the dial 1 and the connector 2 when in the locked mode. The first engaging portion 123 is connected to the pressing portion 121. When the pressing portion 121 is pressed, it moves the first engaging portion 123, causing it to disengage from the slot or hook-shaped structure on the connector 2, thus unlocking the dial 1. At this point, the dial 1 can be removed.

[0051] The first elastic element 122 is disposed within the accommodating space 112. The first elastic element 122 is, for example, a spring, which gives it good elasticity and corrosion resistance. One end of the first elastic element 122 is connected to the first snap-fit ​​part 123, and the other end of the first elastic element 122 can be fixed to the internal fixing structure of the accommodating space 112, depending on the actual situation.

[0052] When it is necessary to detach the dial 1 from the connector 2, the user applies inward pressure to the pressing part 121. The pressing part 121 can drive the first locking part 123 to move, so that the first locking part 123 is misaligned with the hook-shaped structure or slot of the connector 2. At this time, the first elastic element 122 deforms and accumulates elastic potential energy. When the first locking part 123 is completely disengaged from the hook-shaped structure or slot of the connector 2, the dial 1 is in the unlocked mode, at which point the user can easily remove the dial 1 from the connector 2.

[0053] When the dial 1 needs to be reinstalled onto the connector 2, the user brings the dial 1 close to the connector 2, aligning the first locking part 123 with the slot or hook-shaped structure on the connector 2. Releasing the pressure on the pressing part 121 releases the elastic potential energy of the first elastic element 122, causing it to reset and reposition the first locking part 123 and the pressing part 121 to their initial positions. When the first elastic element 122 is fully reset, the hook-shaped structure of the first locking part 123 securely engages with the slot or abuts against the hook-shaped structure of the connector 2, locking the dial 1 and achieving a tight connection between the dial 1 and the connector 2.

[0054] It should be noted that the number of quick-release structures 12 can be adjusted according to actual needs; one or more can be set. For example, two quick-release structures 12 can be set and symmetrically arranged on both sides of the main body 11. This arrangement makes it easier for the user to apply force when disassembling the dial 1, improving the convenience of operation.

[0055] In this embodiment, the dial 1, through the quick-release structure 12, enables rapid disassembly and installation between the dial 1 and the connector 2. Users only need to apply pressure to the pressing part 121 to complete the disassembly and installation of the dial 1, greatly improving user convenience. Compared with related technologies that require tools or complex operations for disassembly, the quick-release structure 12 in this embodiment significantly shortens operation time and improves efficiency. For example, in scenarios where frequent strap changes are needed, users can quickly replace the strap without spending a lot of time and effort on tedious operations.

[0056] The flexible configuration of the number of quick-release structures 12 and their convenient operation allow this disclosure to adapt to various usage scenarios. Whether using one or multiple quick-release structures 12, adjustments can be made according to actual needs to meet the usage requirements of different users in different scenarios. For example, in outdoor sports scenarios, multiple quick-release structures 12 facilitate operation from different parts, improving flexibility; in everyday use scenarios, a single quick-release structure 12 can meet basic disassembly and installation needs.

[0057] In some exemplary embodiments, such as Figures 1-5 As shown, the first snap-fit ​​portion 123 includes a support body 1231, a snap hook 1232, and a first groove 1233.

[0058] The support body 1231 can be cylindrical, square, or stepped, depending on the specific situation. For example, the support body 1231 may be stepped, and it adapts and connects to a corresponding fixing structure within the main body 11. For instance, the main body 11 has a battery cover assembly 114, which has two stepped protrusions 1141 symmetrically arranged on both sides of the support body 1231. During installation, the support body 1231 can be inserted between the two protrusions 1141. Because both the protrusions 1141 and the support body 1231 are stepped, they mutually constrain each other, improving the stability during installation.

[0059] It is understood that the above-mentioned protrusions 1141 are grouped in pairs and connected to the support body 1231 of one of the quick-release structures 12. The protrusions 1141 are not limited to one group, but can also be in multiple groups, depending on the number of support bodies 1231 of the quick-release structure 12.

[0060] The hook 1232 is fixedly connected to the support body 1231. The hook 1232 can be located on the side of the support body 1231, protruding from the side wall of the support body 1231, so as to facilitate the connection between the hook 1232 and the connector 2. For example, the hook 1232 includes a first extension rod 12321 and a first wedge 12322. One end of the first extension rod 12321 is fixedly connected to the support body 1231, and the other end of the first extension rod 12321 is fixedly connected to the first wedge 12322. The first wedge 12322, the first extension rod 12321, and the support body 1231 together form a first notch 12323 to facilitate the snap-fit ​​with the connector 2.

[0061] The first groove 1233 is formed on the side of the support 1231 away from the pressing part 121. The first groove 1233 is configured to accommodate the first elastic member 122. The first groove 1233 can limit the first elastic member 122 to ensure that the deformation direction of the first elastic member 122 is along the first groove 1233. The support 1231 is stepped, which also facilitates the setting of the first groove 1233. The first groove 1233 is set on a structure with a large cross-section, which can improve the structural strength of the support 1231.

[0062] In this embodiment, as Figures 1-5 As shown, the quick-release structure 12 is disposed on the first waterproof part 124 of the first latching part 123. The first latching part 123 is sealed to the battery cover assembly 114 of the main body 11 through the first waterproof part 124. The first waterproof part 124 is, for example, a rubber ring, which is fitted onto the support body 1231 of the first latching part 123. The first waterproof part 124 is sandwiched between the support body 1231 and two protrusions 1141 on the battery cover assembly 114, forming an effective seal between the first latching part 123 and the battery cover assembly 114 of the main body 11. This effectively prevents water and other liquids from entering the interior, thereby improving the overall waterproof performance. Simultaneously, during the movement of the first latching part 123 relative to the protrusions 1141, the rubber material of the first waterproof part 124 provides elasticity and lubricity, reducing the friction between the first latching part 123 and the protrusions 1141, thereby reducing wear on the first latching part 123 during movement and extending its service life.

[0063] To further enhance the stability of the first waterproof part 124, a first annular groove 1234 is provided on the outer wall of the first snap-fit ​​part 123. After the first waterproof part 124 is fitted onto the support body 1231, the first waterproof part 124 is further embedded into the first annular groove 1234. The first annular groove 1234 can limit the position of the first waterproof part 124. When the first snap-fit ​​part 123 moves, the first waterproof part 124 will rub against the protrusion 1141. The first annular groove 1234 can effectively prevent the first waterproof part 124 from shifting under the action of friction, ensuring that the first waterproof part 124 is always in the correct position and continuously performs the functions of sealing and reducing friction.

[0064] In this embodiment, as Figures 1-5 As shown, the quick-release structure 12 also includes a support base 125 and a seal 126. The support base 125 is connected to the body 11, and the first elastic member 122 is connected to the support base 125 through the seal 126 to support the first elastic member 122.

[0065] The support base 125 may be, for example, U-shaped or other concave structures, capable of surrounding the protrusion 1141, thereby achieving a limiting connection between the support base 125 and the protrusion 1141. Furthermore, the support base 125 may be connected to the internal fixing structure of the accommodating space 112. The support base 125 may be made of steel sheet, for example, and provides support for the support body 1231 and the first elastic member 122.

[0066] A sealing element 126, such as waterproof foam, is provided on the inner bottom wall of the support base 125. The sealing element 126 can fill the gap between the inner bottom wall of the support base 125 and the protrusion 1141, and the first elastic element 122 can be connected to the sealing element 126 to improve its stability. The waterproof foam has a certain degree of elasticity, so it will not be affected when the support body 1231 moves towards the support base 125.

[0067] The dial 1 provided in this embodiment has a support 1231 that can apply pressure to the first elastic member 122, and a first groove 1233 is provided to achieve a stable installation of the first elastic member 122. Furthermore, multiple seals are provided to improve the waterproof performance when the quick-release structure 12 is connected to the body 11.

[0068] In some exemplary embodiments, such as Figures 1-5 As shown, the pressing part 121 includes a button 1211 and a push rod 1212. At least part of the button 1211 is disposed in the through hole 111, and the push rod 1212 is disposed in the accommodating space 112. The button 1211 is connected to the first snap-fit ​​part 123 through the push rod 1212.

[0069] The push rod 1212 can be connected one-to-one with the first locking part 123, or there can be two first locking parts 123, which are located on both sides. The push rod 1212 is connected to the two first locking parts 123 to improve the stability when pressing.

[0070] The cross-sectional dimension of the through hole 111 is smaller than that of the push rod 1212, so that the push rod 1212 is blocked in the accommodating space 112, preventing the pressing part 121 from detaching from the body 11.

[0071] In this embodiment, as Figures 1-5 As shown, the pressing part 121 also includes a second elastic member 1213, and a second groove 115 is provided on the body 11. A through hole 111 is formed on the bottom wall of the second groove 115. Part of the structure of the button 1211 passes through the through hole 111 to ensure that the button 1211 can be connected to the push rod 1212.

[0072] The second elastic element 1213 is, for example, a spring, and the button 1211 is connected to the bottom wall of the second groove 115 through the second elastic element 1213. When the button 1211 is pressed, it compresses the second elastic element 1213, causing it to accumulate elastic potential energy. When the pressing force is released, the second elastic element 1213 releases the accumulated elastic potential energy, causing the button 1211 to return to its original position.

[0073] In this embodiment, as Figures 1-5 As shown, button 1211 includes a pressing body 12111 and a support rod 12112. The pressing body 12111 is connected to the top rod 1212 through the support rod 12112.

[0074] The pressing body 12111 is, for example, a strip-shaped structure, and is disposed within the second groove 115. The shape of the second groove 115 is adapted to the shape of the pressing body 12111. Furthermore, the depth of the second groove 115 is greater than the thickness of the pressing body 12111, providing space for the installation of the second elastic element 1213. The support rod 12112 is located within the through hole 111 to facilitate a stable connection of the top rod 1212.

[0075] In this embodiment, as Figures 1-5 As shown, in order to improve the waterproof performance of the through hole 111 and prevent liquid from entering the accommodating space 112 through the second groove 115 and the through hole 111, thus affecting the safety of other components, the pressing part 121 also includes a second waterproof part 1214, which is provided on the support rod 12112.

[0076] The second waterproof part 1214 is, for example, a waterproof rubber ring, which is fitted onto the support rod 12112 and is sandwiched between the through hole 111 and the support rod 12112.

[0077] Since the pressing part 121 can move relative to the main body 11, during the movement, in order to ensure waterproof performance, the second waterproof part 1214 will be tightly clamped between the through hole 111 and the support rod 12112, affecting the stability of the second waterproof part 1214. Therefore, a second annular groove 121121 can be provided on the outer wall of the support rod 12112, and the second waterproof part 1214 is fitted into the second annular groove 121121, thereby limiting the position of the second waterproof part 1214 and improving its stability.

[0078] In this embodiment, as Figures 1-5 As shown, the pressing part 121 also includes a limiting member 1215, which is connected to the support rod 12112 and is located within the accommodating space 112. When the pressing part 121 returns to its initial position, the limiting member 1215 abuts against the body 11. The limiting member 1215 is, for example, a retaining spring, which can be sleeved on the support rod 12112. When the pressing part 121 returns to its initial position, the limiting member 1215 can prevent it from moving further.

[0079] The outer wall of the support rod 12112 can also be provided with a third annular groove 121122, and the limiting member 1215 can be embedded in the third annular groove 121122 to further improve the stability during installation.

[0080] The dial 1 provided in this embodiment has a pressing part 121 that realizes functions such as pressing, resetting, waterproofing, and limiting, ensuring the stable operation and safety of the entire device.

[0081] This disclosure also provides a connector 2, including a connector body 21, which may be a watch strap, a bracket, or the like. When the connector body 21 is a watch strap, its structure includes a base and two strap bodies. The base may be made of a plastic material with a certain degree of flexibility and strength, and is molded into a base shape that meets design requirements through injection molding. The strap bodies may be made of materials such as leather or silicone, and are cut and processed according to design dimensions to achieve the required shape and holes. The two strap bodies are symmetrically arranged on the base and can be connected by stitching, buckles, or other methods to ensure a firm connection between the strap bodies and the base, allowing the watch strap structure to be easily strapped to the user's wrist. When the connector body 21 is a bracket, its bracket may be a charging bracket, a neckband bracket, or the like, facilitating quick and easy disassembly and installation of the watch face 1.

[0082] The connecting body 21 is provided with a second latching part 211, and the connecting body 21 is detachably connected to the dial 1 as described in any of the above embodiments via the second latching part 211. Specifically, the connecting body 21 is connected to the first latching part 123 of the dial 1 via the second latching part 211.

[0083] The second engaging portion 211 is, for example, a slot (not shown in the figure), and the first engaging portion 123 extends out of the body 11 to engage with the slot. Alternatively, the second engaging portion 211 may be a hook-shaped structure, the specific shape of which is basically the same as that of the first engaging portion 123. For example, the second engaging portion 211 includes a second extending rod 2111 and a second wedge 2112. The second extending rod 2111, the second wedge 2112 and the connecting body 21 together form a second recess 2113. When the first engaging portion 123 and the second engaging portion 211 engage, the second wedge 2112 is engaged in the first recess 12323, the first wedge 12322 is engaged in the second recess 2113, and the second wedge 2112 abuts against the first wedge 12322.

[0084] Understandably, to make the connection between the dial 1 and the connecting body 21 more stable and tighter, the connecting body 21 may also be provided with other mating structures such as slots. For example, a corresponding slot may be designed on the connecting body 21 according to the outer contour of the dial 1. During installation, part of the structure of the dial 1 may be embedded into the slot to further enhance the stability of the connection. The specific mating structures and their configurations need to be designed and adjusted according to the actual situation.

[0085] The connector 2 provided in this embodiment can be applied to different application scenarios, meet different user needs, and improve the user experience.

[0086] This disclosure also provides a terminal device, including a dial 1 as in any of the above embodiments and a connector 2 as in the above embodiments, wherein the connector 2 is detachably connected to the dial 1.

[0087] The dial 1 includes a body 11 and a quick-release structure 12. The body 11 has a through hole 111 and an accommodating space 112 communicating with the through hole 111. The quick-release structure 12 includes a pressing part 121, a first elastic member 122, and a first locking part 123. At least a portion of the pressing part 121 is disposed within the through hole 111. The pressing part 121 is connected to the first elastic member 122 through the first locking part 123, and both the first locking part 123 and the first elastic member 122 are disposed within the accommodating space 112.

[0088] The connector 2 includes a connector body 21, which is provided with a second snap-fit ​​part 211. The connector 2 is detachably connected to the dial 1 through the second snap-fit ​​part 211 and the first snap-fit ​​part 123.

[0089] The pressing part 121 is configured to be movable relative to the main body 11, so that the terminal device has a locking mode that fixes the dial 1 to the connecting body 21, and an unlocking mode that unlocks the dial 1 from the connecting body 21. When the terminal device is in the unlocking mode, the first latching part 123 and the second latching part 211 are staggered, and the first latching part 123 presses the first elastic member 122, causing the first elastic member 122 to deform.

[0090] It is understood that the connection method between connector 2 and dial 1 has been described in detail in the above embodiments, and will not be repeated here.

[0091] The terminal device provided in this embodiment allows users to quickly detach the dial 1 from the connector 2 using the quick-release structure 12. By replacing different types of connectors 2, the terminal device can achieve different usage modes. For example, when connector 2 is a stand, the terminal device can switch to a photo-taking mode for convenient shooting; when connector 2 is a lanyard, the terminal device can switch to a lanyard mode for easy carrying; and when connector 2 is a charging dock, the terminal device can switch to a charging mode to charge the dial 1. This design meets the different needs of users in different scenarios and improves the user experience.

[0092] Furthermore, the quick-release structure 12 allows for quick disassembly between the dial 1 and the connector 2, improving the disassembly effect and ease of disassembly. It also features multiple waterproofing features, effectively enhancing the overall waterproof performance.

[0093] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0094] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementation methods of this application, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the protection scope of this application. Therefore, the protection scope of this patent application should be determined by the appended claims.
