[0002] In modern life, portable wearable devices are becoming more and more popular among users due to their convenience and functionality. These devices not only provide health monitoring, exercise tracking and other functions, but are also widely used in the field of physical therapy to help users relieve pain and improve physical condition.

[0003] In order to meet users' demand for convenience, wearable devices on the market are usually equipped with straps. Existing wearable physiotherapy devices have some deficiencies in the assembly and disassembly of straps. For example, the use of non-detachable strap design limits the user's personalized choices and the flexibility of the device. And those detachable straps often require the help of tools to complete the disassembly, which not only increases the difficulty of use for users, but also is not conducive to the rapid replacement of straps in emergency situations. Especially in the application of physiotherapy equipment, since the equipment needs to be fixed to different parts of the body, different types of straps and simple disassembly methods are particularly important.

[0004] In addition, frequent disassembly and assembly require that the structure of the connecting strap should not only be simple and easy to operate, but also ensure sufficient stability and durability to meet the needs of long-term and high-intensity use. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a snap-on structure that is convenient for users to quickly replace and ensures the stability of the device, so as to detachably connect the strap to the wearable device.

[0037] The following is a further detailed description of the clamping structure and wearable device proposed in the utility model in combination with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. According to the following description, the advantages and features of the utility model will be clearer. It should be noted that the accompanying drawings adopt a very simplified form and use non-precise proportions, which are only used to conveniently and clearly assist in explaining the purpose of the implementation method of the utility model. In order to make the purpose, features and advantages of the utility model more obvious and easy to understand, please refer to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the structure, proportion, size, etc. illustrated in the accompanying drawings of this specification are only used to match the content disclosed in the specification for people familiar with this technology to understand and read, and are not used to limit the limiting conditions for the implementation of the utility model, so it has no technical substantive significance. Any modification of the structure, change of the proportional relationship or adjustment of the size, without affecting the effect that the utility model can produce and the purpose that can be achieved, should still fall within the scope of the technical content disclosed in the utility model.

[0038] like Figure 1 and 2 As shown, the utility model provides a snap-on structure, including a female connector 10 and a male connector 20 that match each other. The snap-on structure can be applied to fields such as wearable devices. When connected to a wearable device, one of the connectors is connected to a strap 40, and the other connector is connected to a device body 30. The strap 40 and the device body 30 are connected as a whole through the snap-on cooperation of the female connector 10 and the male connector 20.

[0039] like Figure 3 As shown, the utility model also provides a wearable device, which is a physiotherapy device that can radiate heat energy. When used, the physiotherapy device needs to fit the surface of the human body and be fixed on the surface of the human body in a wearable manner. The outside of the device body 30 of the wearable device is wrapped by a shell, and the side wall of the shell is provided with two interlocking parts 301 that match the shape of the female connector 10, and the two interlocking parts 301 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the shell. A female connector 10 is embedded in each interlocking part 301, and is fixedly connected to the mounting part 101 on the female connector 10. The mounting part 101 can be set as a lug for fixing the screw, and a stud is provided in the interlocking part 301. When installing, the screw is passed through the lug and threadedly connected with the stud, so that the physiotherapy device and the female connector 10 are fixedly connected as one. The male connector 20 is fixedly connected to the strap 40, and the connection method can be achieved by an integrated molding process such as welding. Furthermore, the male connector 20 also includes a lead-out portion 204 for connecting the strap 40, and the lead-out portion 204 can be set to a wear-resistant material to improve durability. When the physiotherapy device needs to be worn, one male connector 20 can be firstly connected to the female connector 10 on one side of the physiotherapy device, and then the physiotherapy device is placed at the target position, and the strap is wrapped around the body, and finally the other male connector 20 is connected to the female connector 10 on the other side of the physiotherapy device.

[0040] Optionally, in some embodiments, the housing is provided with the engaging portion 301 only on one side, the other side of the housing is fixedly connected to the strap, and the female connector 10 is fixedly connected to the engaging portion 301. When the physical therapy device needs to be worn, the physical therapy device can be placed at the target position first, then the strap is wrapped around the body, and finally the male connector 20 is snapped into the female connector 10.

[0041] Although the physical therapy device in this example is directly connected to the female connector 10 , in other examples the female connector 10 can be interchanged with the male connector 20 , that is, the male connector 20 is directly connected to the physical therapy device, and the female connector 10 is fixedly connected to the strap 40 .

[0042] like Figure 1 and 2As shown, the female connector 10 is provided with a through slot 102 extending along a first direction, and a protrusion 103 is provided in the through slot 102; the male connector 20 includes an elastic element 201 and two limiting portions 202 located on both sides of the elastic element 201 along the first direction, and a recessed portion 203 is provided on the elastic element 201. The male connector 20 is configured to enter the through slot 102 along the first direction; the male connector 20 can be in at least two states in the through slot 102: in the first state, the protrusion 103 and the recessed portion 203 are misaligned (such as Figure 4 In the second state, the protrusion 103 is embedded in the recess 203 (as shown in Figure 5 wherein, in the second state, the protrusion 103 is limited between the two limiting portions 202. Figure 2 It can be seen that the upper surface of the recessed portion 203 is lower than the upper surface of the limiting portion 202. In the second state, both ends of the protruding portion 103 along the first direction are blocked by the limiting portion 202, thereby limiting the male connector 20 from being separated from the through slot 102 in the first direction.

[0043] For further explanation of the snap-in structure, see Figure 4 and Figure 5 , the male connector 20 is also configured to move along a second direction to switch between a first state and a second state, wherein the second direction intersects with the first direction, and the first direction and the second direction here should be understood as two directions of two intersecting straight lines, each direction includes two opposite directions, and in this example, the first direction and the second direction are perpendicular to each other. The clamping structure includes a switching process between the first state and the second state during the clamping and disassembly process. When the female connector 10 and the male connector 20 need to be clamped, two forces are applied to the female connector 10 and / or the male connector 20 to make them move relative to each other. The first application of force causes the male connector 20 to enter the through slot 102 along the first direction, at which time the male connector 20 is in the first state, and then the second application of force causes the male connector 20 to move along the second direction (the direction away from the through slot 102), so that the male connector 20 switches from the first state to the second state, completing the clamping. When the male connector 20 needs to be removed from the female connector 10, two forces are applied to the female connector 10 and / or the male connector 20 to make them move relative to each other. The first application of force causes the male connector 20 to move along the second direction (the direction close to the through slot 102), so that the male connector 20 switches from the second state to the first state, and then the second application of force causes the male connector 20 to leave the through slot 102 along the first direction, completing the removal.

[0044] In this example, during the switching process between the first state and the second state, the elastic element 201 will deform. In a preferred example, the elastic element 201 is made of elastic plastic, which has good elastic deformation ability. The elastic element 201 is at least a pair, and the two elastic elements 201 are arranged opposite to each other, and there is a gap between the two elastic elements 201 arranged opposite to each other. When switching between the first state and the second state, the two elastic elements 201 arranged opposite to each other first approach each other and then move away. When the male connector 20 is connected, the male connector 201 moves along the Figure 4 The two elastic elements 201 move in the direction of the arrow Y1, and during the movement, the two elastic elements 201 are pressed by the protrusion 103 and move closer to each other, so that the gap distance D1 between the two elastic elements 201 gradually decreases. Figure 5 As shown, the protrusion 103 is embedded in the recess 203, and the compression of the two elastic elements 201 is reduced and they move away from each other, completing the clamping. Figure 5 The two elastic elements 201 move in the direction of the middle arrow Y2, and are pressed by the protrusion 103 to move closer to each other, and the gap distance D2 gradually decreases. After switching to the first state, as shown in FIG. Figure 4 As shown, the protrusion 103 and the recess 203 are in a misaligned state, the compression of the two elastic elements 201 is reduced and they move away from each other, and then the male connector 20 can be moved out of the through slot 201 from the first direction to complete the disassembly.

[0045] In a preferred example, the protrusion 103 is designed to be a strip-shaped protrusion extending along the first direction, and the recessed portion 203 is a groove that matches the shape of the protrusion 103 .

[0046] In another preferred example, the protrusion 103 includes at least one dot-shaped protrusion, and the recessed portion 203 is at least one groove that is adapted to the shape of the protrusion 103 .

[0047] In addition, when the wearable device is worn, the tightening of the strap 40 will generate tension on the device body 30. In order to ensure that the clamping structure can remain firm under such tension, the clamping structure needs to have a certain tensile resistance. The clamping structure provided by the utility model can well meet this requirement. As a preferred example, Figure 1As shown, a blocking portion 104 is provided at the top opening 1021 of the through slot 102, and the blocking portion 104 can limit the male connector 20 from being separated from the female connector 10 along the second direction. The through slot 102 includes a bottom wall, two side walls connected to the bottom wall, and a top opening 1021 opposite to the bottom wall; the width of the top opening 1021 is narrower than the width of the limiting portion 202. Specifically, the through slot 102 includes a first width W1 and a second width W2, the first width W1 can accommodate the limiting portion 202 entering along the first direction, and the second width W2 is narrower than the first width W1, which can limit the limiting portion 202 from being separated from the second direction. The second width W2 is the width of the top opening 1021 of the through slot 102, and a step is formed at the connection between the first width W1 and the second width W2, and the step is the blocking portion 104.

[0048] Preferably, in the first state, the male connector 20 is in contact with the bottom wall, and the male connector 20 can be guided along the bottom wall into the through groove 102, and then force is applied to move the male connector 20 along the second direction relative to the female connector 10 to enter the second state, at which time the male connector 20 is separated from the bottom wall.

[0049] In summary, the utility model aims at the deficiencies of the prior art and provides a wearable device that is easy to disassemble and a clip-on structure for connecting the wearable device, wherein the clip-on structure can be connected to a strap for easy wearing. The clip-on structure is easy to disassemble without any tools, and can ensure the stability and durability of the connection, thus meeting the needs of users for portable wearable devices.
