Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wearable device technology, and in particular to a wearable device shell and wearable device. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, the connection between the wristband and the device case of wearable devices is usually detachable for easy wristband replacement. There are various detachable connection methods; for example, one end of the wristband has a buckle, and the device case has a slot that engages with the buckle. The buckle snaps into the slot to connect the wristband and the device case. However, after repeated disassembly and reassembly, wear and tear can cause the buckle and slot to malfunction, reducing reliability.
[0003] To reduce wear during disassembly, existing technologies employ a locking component movably connected to the wearable device housing to lock the wristband. Specifically, the wearable device housing has a groove into which one end of the wristband can be inserted, and this groove also has a locking slot. The locking component includes a connecting buckle and a pressing member. The buckle is slidably connected to the wearable device housing along its thickness direction and can pass through the groove wall to insert into the locking slot, thus locking the wristband. The pressing member is located on one side of the buckle and slidably connected to the wearable device housing along its thickness direction. By pressing the pressing member on the wearable device housing, the pressing member causes the buckle to disengage from the locking slot, thereby releasing the wristband from the groove.
[0004] However, since both the pressing component and the buckle are slidably connected to the wearable device shell along the thickness direction, the wearable device shell needs to reserve a large amount of space for the buckle and the pressing component. In other words, the fixing components occupy a large amount of space in the thickness direction of the wearable device shell, which affects the space design of the wearable device and is not conducive to the thinness and lightness of the wearable device. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a wearable device shell and wearable device to solve the technical problems of excessive thickness in the prior art, which is not conducive to thinness and lightness.
[0006] Based on the above concept, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0007] Wearable device case, including:
[0008] A housing assembly, wherein a wristband receiving groove is provided on the back of the housing assembly;
[0009] The quick-release mechanism includes two sets of quick-release components disposed opposite each other on both sides of the wristband receiving groove along a first direction; each set of quick-release components includes a movable buckle and a toggle member, the movable buckle being slidably connected to the housing assembly along the first direction and having an unlocking position and a locking position for locking the wristband; the toggle member being slidably connected to the housing assembly along a second direction, and the toggle member being able to push the corresponding movable buckle from the locking position to the unlocking position along the unlocking direction when subjected to external force; the unlocking directions of the two opposing toggle members are opposite; the first direction and the second direction intersect, and both the first direction and the second direction are perpendicular to the thickness direction of the housing assembly.
[0010] In one embodiment, the movable buckle is provided with a sliding hole, the length directions of two opposite sliding holes are parallel, one end of the actuating member corresponding to the movable buckle is slidably disposed in the sliding hole, and the two opposite actuating members are located at different ends of the corresponding sliding hole length direction.
[0011] In one embodiment, the movable buckle is provided with a sliding hole, the length direction of which is set at an angle to both the first direction and the second direction. One end of the actuating member is slidably disposed in the sliding hole, and when the actuating member moves along the second direction, it pushes the movable buckle to move along the first direction through the hole wall of the sliding hole.
[0012] In one embodiment, the quick-release mechanism is provided as one; or, the quick-release mechanism is provided as multiple, with multiple sets of quick-release components located on the same side of the wristband receiving groove spaced apart.
[0013] In one embodiment, the quick-release assembly further includes an elastic element;
[0014] The elastic element is connected between the actuating element and the housing assembly. The elastic force of the elastic element causes the actuating element to push the movable latch to the locked position. When the actuating element pushes the movable latch to the unlocked position, it compresses the elastic element.
[0015] And / or,
[0016] The elastic element is connected between the movable latch and the housing assembly. The elastic force of the elastic element keeps the movable latch in the locked position. When the actuating member pushes the movable latch to the unlocked position, it compresses the elastic element.
[0017] In one embodiment, the housing assembly includes a housing body and a housing unit connected to the housing body, the housing unit being correspondingly disposed with the quick-release assembly; the wristband receiving groove is disposed in the housing body, the movable buckle is slidably connected to the corresponding housing unit along the first direction, and the toggle member is slidably connected to the corresponding housing unit along the second direction.
[0018] In one embodiment, the shell body has an opening, and the latching end of the movable latch is movably inserted through the corresponding opening. The latching body of the movable latch is located inside the shell body. The actuating member includes a connected head and a post. The shell body has an elongated hole. The head is located outside the shell body. The post is slidably inserted through the elongated hole and abuts against the latching body.
[0019] In one embodiment, the head protrudes from the surface of the shell unit; and / or, the surface of the shell unit is provided with a shallow groove, and a portion of the head is slidably disposed in the shallow groove.
[0020] In one embodiment, the quick-release assembly further includes a fixing block disposed within the housing body and connected to the post portion, the width of the fixing block being greater than the width of the elongated hole.
[0021] In one embodiment, the sidewall of the ear canal is provided with a groove, and the shell body is provided with an extension that extends into the groove.
[0022] The wearable device includes a wearable device housing as described above, and the wearable device also includes a wristband with a slot. The quick-release component corresponds to the slot, and the movable buckle located in the locking position engages with the corresponding slot.
[0023] The wearable device shell and wearable device provided by this utility model have at least the following beneficial effects:
[0024] The housing assembly locks the wristband via a quick-release mechanism. The quick-release mechanism includes a movable buckle and an actuating component. When subjected to external force, the actuating component can push the movable buckle from the locked position to the unlocked position along the unlocking direction, thereby unlocking the wristband. The movable buckle is slidably connected to the housing assembly along a first direction perpendicular to the thickness direction of the housing assembly, and the actuating component is slidably connected to the housing assembly along a second direction perpendicular to the thickness direction of the housing assembly. This eliminates the need for the housing assembly to reserve space for the movable buckle and the actuating component in the thickness direction, thus meeting the space design requirements of the wearable device housing and the wearable device itself. This makes space utilization more rational and also contributes to the thinner and lighter design of the wearable device housing and the wearable device.
[0025] Furthermore, the first direction of the movement of the movable latch intersects with the second direction of the movement of the actuating element, which means that a small force is required to unlock the actuating element when an external force is applied, making the unlocking process less strenuous and easier to operate. The two actuating elements have opposite unlocking directions, meaning that during the unlocking process, the two actuating elements move in opposite directions. This allows two fingers to be placed on the two actuating elements and rotated clockwise or counterclockwise around the midpoint of the line connecting the two actuating elements to complete the unlocking action, thereby improving the convenience of unlocking.

[0047] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0048] This embodiment provides a wearable device case that enables quick detachment from the wristband, has a more reasonable space design, and meets the requirements for thinness and lightness.
[0049] For example, such as Figures 1 to 11As shown, the wearable device housing 1 includes a housing assembly 100 and a quick-release mechanism (not shown in the figure). The housing assembly 100 has a front and a back side disposed opposite each other in its thickness direction. The front side is used to display information such as time, text, and numbers. Figure 1 As shown, the back of the housing assembly 100 is provided with a wristband receiving groove 101 for receiving the wristband 2. A quick-release mechanism connects the wristband 2 and the housing assembly 100, thereby enabling the connection between the wearable device housing 1 and the wristband 2. In some optional embodiments, such as... Figure 3 As shown, one end of the wristband 2 is provided with a slot 21, and the quick-release mechanism can interact with the slot 21 to limit the movement of the wristband 2 relative to the wearable device housing 1.
[0050] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the quick-release mechanism includes two sets of quick-release components 200. The two sets of quick-release components 200 are arranged opposite each other on both sides of the wristband receiving groove 101 along a first direction X. The first direction X can be the width direction of the wristband 2. By setting two sets of quick-release components 200, the strength and reliability of the connection between the wearable device shell 1 and the wristband 2 can be improved.
[0051] For example, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, each quick-release assembly 200 includes a movable latch 210 and a toggle member 220. It should be noted that the quick-release assembly 200 may include a movable latch 210 and a toggle member 220. The movable latch 210 is slidably connected to the housing assembly 100 along the first direction X, and has an unlocked position and a locked position for locking the wristband 2. When the movable latch 210 is in the unlocked position, it does not restrict the movement of the wristband 2 relative to the wearable device housing 1, allowing the wristband 2 to be separated from the wearable device housing 1. When the movable latch 210 is in the locked position, it extends into the wristband receiving groove 101 and engages with the slot 21 of the wristband 2, thereby locking the wristband 2.
[0052] In this embodiment, the actuating member 220 is slidably connected to the housing assembly 100 along the second direction Y. Furthermore, when subjected to external force, the actuating member 220 can push the movable latch 210 from the locked position to the unlocked position along the unlocking direction, causing the movable latch 210 to disengage from the slot 21, thereby releasing the restriction on the wristband 2. It should be noted that the actuating member 220 has a portion located inside the housing assembly 100 and a portion located outside the housing assembly 100. The portion located inside the housing assembly 100 interacts with the movable latch 210, while the portion located outside the housing assembly 100 facilitates the application of external force to the actuating member 220.
[0053] In this embodiment, the first direction X intersects with the second direction Y. That is, the moving direction of the movable buckle 210 intersects with the moving direction of the actuating member 220, rather than being parallel or collinear. Thus, when an external force is applied to the actuating member 220, a smaller force is required to unlock the device, making the unlocking process less strenuous and easier to operate. Furthermore, both the first direction X and the second direction Y are perpendicular to the thickness direction of the housing assembly 100. That is, the movable buckle 210 does not move along the thickness direction of the housing assembly 100, and neither does the actuating member 220. This eliminates the need for the housing assembly 100 to reserve space for the actuating member 220 and the movable buckle 210 in its thickness direction, meeting the spatial design requirements of the wearable device housing 1 and the wearable device, and facilitating the thinning and lightening of the wearable device housing 1 and the wearable device.
[0054] For example, each quick-release component 200 includes a toggle member 220, meaning the quick-release mechanism includes two toggle members 220. The two toggle members 220 are positioned opposite each other in the first direction X, and their unlocking directions are opposite; that is, during unlocking, the two toggle members 220 move in opposite directions. Thus, when unlocking is required, two fingers can be placed on the two toggle members 220 respectively, and then, with the midpoint O of the line connecting the two toggle members 220 as the center, the fingers can be rotated clockwise or counterclockwise to complete the unlocking action, thereby improving the convenience of unlocking. For example, as... Figure 2 As shown, during the unlocking process, the toggle 220 on the left moves upward in the direction indicated by the arrow, and the toggle 220 on the right moves downward in the direction indicated by the arrow.
[0055] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, each movable latch 210 is provided with a sliding hole 211, and the length directions of the sliding holes 211 of two opposite movable latches 210 in the first direction X are parallel, that is, the length directions of each sliding hole 211 are the same. The movable latches 210 of the same quick-release assembly 200 correspond to the actuating members 220, and one end of the actuating member 220 corresponding to the movable latch 210 is slidably disposed in the sliding hole 211. When the actuating member 220 and the movable latch 210 move relative to each other, the end of the actuating member 220 slides in the sliding hole 211. In this embodiment, in order to achieve opposite unlocking directions for the two opposite actuating members 220, the two opposite actuating members 220 are located at different ends in the length direction of the corresponding sliding hole 211. For example, in... Figure 2In the orientation shown, the end of the left toggle 220 is located at the bottom of the left sliding hole 211, and the end of the right toggle 220 is located at the top of the right sliding hole 211. During the unlocking process, the left toggle 220 moves from the bottom to the top of the sliding hole 211, and the right toggle 220 moves from the top to the bottom of the sliding hole 211, which facilitates unlocking.
[0056] In some alternative embodiments, such as Figure 6 As shown, the length direction of the sliding hole 211 is set at an angle to both the first direction X and the second direction Y. In this embodiment, the length direction of the sliding hole 211 is referred to as the third direction W. When the actuating member 220 moves along the second direction Y, it pushes the movable latch 210 along the first direction X through the hole wall of the sliding hole 211. This allows the movable latch 210 to move along the first direction X even if the moving direction of the actuating member 220 is not the first direction X, thus realizing the conversion of the power direction. This eliminates the need for the housing assembly 100 to reserve a large amount of space for the actuating member 220 in the first direction X. At the same time, since the moving direction of the actuating member 220 is different from that of the movable latch 210, the quick-release assembly 200 requires less space in both the first and second directions X and Y. The overall size of the quick-release assembly 200 is smaller, so the housing assembly 100 does not need to be designed to be too large to accommodate the quick-release assembly 200, which is beneficial for the miniaturization of the wearable device housing 1 and the wearable device.
[0057] Exemplarily, as shown in Figure 8, the actuating member 220 includes a connected head 221 and a post 222. The housing assembly 100 is provided with an elongated hole 123. The length direction of the elongated hole 123 is a second direction Y. The head 221 is located outside the housing assembly 100 to facilitate the application of external force to the head 221. The post 222 passes through the elongated hole 123 and extends into a sliding hole 211. The elongated hole 123 restricts movement of the post 222 along the second direction Y.
[0058] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 or Figure 6 As shown, the first direction X is perpendicular to the second direction Y. This makes it easier to design the sliding hole 211, and the actuating member 220 is less likely to get stuck with the movable buckle 210 when sliding.
[0059] For example, the angle between the length direction (i.e., the third direction W) of the sliding hole 211 and the second direction Y is in the range of 25°-35°. Thus, from a force perspective, the force direction of the actuating member 220 is the second direction Y. Figure 6As shown, if the angle between the length direction (i.e., the third direction W) of the sliding hole 211 and the second direction Y is too large, the portion of the force acting on the actuating member 220 that is distributed to the wall of the sliding hole 211 will be very small, resulting in a large amount of force being required to move the movable latch 210 in the first direction X. If the angle between the length direction (i.e., the third direction W) of the sliding hole 211 and the second direction Y is too small, after the actuating member 220 moves from one end of the sliding hole 211 to the other end, the distance that the movable latch 210 is pushed to move through the wall of the sliding hole 211 will be very short, resulting in the movable latch 210 failing to engage with the latch slot 21, thus causing locking failure. The angle between the length direction (i.e., the third direction W) of the sliding hole 211 and the second direction Y can be any value between 25° and 35° or any range between two values. For example, the angle between the length direction (i.e., the third direction W) of the sliding hole 211 and the second direction Y is 25°, 28°, 30°, 32°, 35°, etc.
[0060] In one embodiment, the toggle 220 and the movable latch 210 can automatically reset. Specifically, as shown... Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the quick-release assembly 200 also includes an elastic element 230, which is used for the automatic reset of the movable latch 210, so that the movement of the movable latch 210 from the unlocked position to the locked position does not require manual pushing, thus improving convenience. Optionally, the elastic element 230 may include, but is not limited to, springs, elastic strips, etc., and this embodiment does not limit it.
[0061] In one possible implementation, the elastic member 230 is connected between the actuating member 220 and the housing assembly 100. The elastic force of the elastic member 230 causes the actuating member 220 to push the movable latch 210 to the locked position; that is, the elastic member 230 indirectly applies a force to the movable latch 210, causing the movable latch 210 to move to the locked position and remain in the locked position. When the actuating member 220 pushes the movable latch 210 to the unlocked position, it compresses the elastic member 230, causing the elastic member 230 to undergo elastic deformation. It should be noted that when the elastic member 230 is connected between the actuating member 220 and the housing assembly 100, the elastic member 230 extends along the second direction Y.
[0062] In another possible embodiment, the elastic element 230 is connected between the movable latch 210 and the housing assembly 100. The elastic force of the elastic element 230 keeps the movable latch 210 in the locked position; that is, the elastic element 230 directly applies force to the movable latch 210, causing the movable latch 210 to move to the locked position. When the actuating element 220 pushes the movable latch 210 to the unlocked position, it compresses the elastic element 230, causing the elastic element 230 to undergo elastic deformation. It should be noted that when the elastic element 230 is connected between the movable latch 210 and the housing assembly 100, the elastic element 230 extends along the first direction X.
[0063] In other embodiments, the quick-release assembly 200 may not have the elastic element 230. Instead, it may limit the movable buckle 210 in the locked position by engaging with a snap-fit groove, so that the movable buckle 210 can remain in the locked position when the actuating member 220 is not subjected to external force. Specifically, the housing assembly 100 may have a snap-fit groove (not shown in the figure). One end of the actuating member 220 can be engaged in the snap-fit groove. When it is necessary to push the movable buckle 210 to the unlock position, the actuating member 220 is pushed in the unlocking direction, so that one end of the actuating member 220 moves out of the snap-fit groove. The actuating member 220 continues to be pushed in the unlocking direction, and the actuating member 220 pushes the movable buckle 210 out of the slot 21 through the sliding hole 211, thereby unlocking the wristband 2.
[0064] Optionally, one or more quick-release mechanisms may be provided in this embodiment, and this embodiment is not limited to this. When multiple quick-release mechanisms are provided, multiple sets of quick-release components 200 located on the same side of the wristband receiving groove 101 are spaced apart. For example, multiple sets of quick-release components 200 located on the same side of the wristband receiving groove 101 may be spaced apart along the second direction Y. Providing multiple quick-release mechanisms can further improve the strength of locking the wristband and reduce the risk of accidental separation between the wristband and the wearable device shell 1.
[0065] To facilitate the assembly of the quick-release component 200, the housing component 100 in this embodiment is, for example, a split structure, such as... Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the housing assembly 100 includes a housing body 110 and a housing unit 120 connected to the housing body 110. Optionally, the housing unit 120 can be fixedly connected to the housing body 110 or detachably connected to the housing body 110; this embodiment does not limit this. In this embodiment, each quick-release assembly 200 corresponds to one housing unit 120, that is, the housing unit 120 and quick-release assembly 200 are correspondingly provided, and the number of housing units 120 is the same as the number of quick-release assemblies 200 and corresponds one-to-one. A wristband receiving groove 101 is provided in the housing body 110, a movable buckle 210 is slidably connected to the corresponding housing unit 120 along the first direction X, and a toggle member 220 is slidably connected to the corresponding housing unit 120 along the second direction Y.
[0066] In some optional embodiments, the shell body 110 also has ear slots 111, which are connected to the wristband receiving slot 101. The number of ear slots 111 is the same as the number of shell units 120 and corresponds one-to-one. Each shell unit 120 is disposed in its corresponding ear slot 111. By providing ear slots 111, the shell unit 120 can be received in the ear slots 111, thereby allowing the movable buckle 210 to smoothly extend into the wristband receiving slot 101 without protruding from the shell body 110, ensuring the flatness of the back of the shell assembly 100.
[0067] In this embodiment, by setting the shell unit 120, the quick-release component 200 and the corresponding shell unit 120 can be assembled and connected as a whole. After the shell unit 120 and the quick-release component 200 are connected, the shell unit 120 and the shell body 110 are then connected. This allows for the quick-release component 200 and the shell unit 120 to be quickly assembled into the shell body 110, reducing operational difficulty and improving production efficiency. Furthermore, the module formed by combining the shell unit 120 and the quick-release component 200 can be smaller in size, making it more suitable for wearable devices with compact structural designs.
[0068] It is understood that the housing assembly 100 in this embodiment may also be an integral structure rather than a separate structure, and this embodiment does not limit this.
[0069] Optionally, the shell assembly 120 is a shell with an internal cavity, such as... Figure 9 As shown, the side wall of the housing unit 120 has an opening 1201. The latching end 212 of the movable latch 210 can extend or retract from the housing unit 120 through the corresponding opening 1201; that is, the latching end 212 of the movable latch 210 is movably inserted through the corresponding opening 1201. The latching body of the movable latch 210 (not shown in the figure) is located inside the housing unit 120, and most of the movable latch 210 is located inside the housing unit 120 for protection by the housing unit 120. The elongated hole 123 is provided on the surface of the housing unit 120 facing away from the bottom of the ear groove 111. Most of the actuating member 220 is also located inside the housing unit 120 for protection by the housing unit 120.
[0070] In some alternative embodiments, such as Figure 8 As shown, an elongated hole 123 is formed on one surface of the housing unit 120 (specifically, the surface of the housing unit 120 facing away from the bottom of the ear groove 111). The head 221 of the actuating member 220 is located outside the housing unit 120, and the post portion 222 is slidably inserted through the elongated hole 123 and abuts against the latching body located inside the housing unit 120, specifically against the wall of the sliding hole 211 on the latching body, so as to push the latching body to move in the first direction X. It should be noted that the head 221 of the actuating member 220 protrudes from the surface of the housing unit 120 facing away from the bottom of the ear groove 111 to facilitate user finger touch and reduce the difficulty of operation.
[0071] To prevent the head 221 from protruding too high and becoming too obtrusive from the shell 120, in one embodiment, a shallow groove 121 is provided on the surface of the shell 120 facing away from the bottom of the ear canal 111. A portion of the head 221 is slidably disposed in the shallow groove 121, that is, a portion of the head 221 is located in the shallow groove 121, and another portion is located outside the shallow groove 121. In this way, on the one hand, the shallow groove 121 can restrict the sliding direction of the head 221 to ensure that the head 221 can only slide along the second direction Y, thereby ensuring that the actuating member 220 moves along the second direction Y; on the other hand, the portion of the head 221 located in the shallow groove 121 and the portion outside the shallow groove 121 can be relatively thin, which is convenient for the user to touch and will not protrude too high from the surface of the shell 120, making the entire wearable device shell 1 more harmonious and aesthetically pleasing.
[0072] For example, to facilitate the connection between the quick-release assembly 200 and the housing unit 120, such as Figure 8 As shown, the shell assembly 120 includes a connected upper frame 124 and a bottom plate 125. The upper frame 124 and the bottom plate 125 cooperate to form an opening 1201. An elongated hole 123 and a shallow groove 121 are both provided on the upper frame 124. An extension 122 is provided on the upper frame 124.
[0073] To prevent the actuating element 220 from separating from the housing unit 120, in one embodiment, such as Figure 11 As shown, the quick-release assembly 200 also includes a fixing block 240. The fixing block 240 is disposed within the housing unit 120 and connected to the post portion 222. The width of the fixing block 240 is greater than the width of the elongated hole 123, preventing the fixing block 240 from passing through the elongated hole 123 and moving out of the housing unit 120, thereby avoiding the possibility of the actuating member 220 falling off. In this embodiment, the fixing block 240 is connected to the middle of the post portion 222, and the end of the post portion 222 facing away from the head 221 is located in the sliding hole 211.
[0074] To facilitate the installation of the shell unit 120, such as Figure 7 As shown, each ear canal 111 has a groove 112 on its sidewall. For example, both sidewalls of the ear canal 111 in the second direction Y have grooves 112. Figure 8 As shown, the shell unit 120 is provided with an extension 122, which extends away from the shell unit 120 and extends into the groove 112. This facilitates the alignment and installation of the shell unit 120 and the shell body 110, improving assembly efficiency. In some optional embodiments, the groove 112 can also limit the shell unit 120 in the thickness direction of the wearable device shell 1 to enhance the connection strength between the shell unit 120 and the shell body 110.
[0075] Optionally, such as Figures 8 to 10As shown, the buckle end 212 of the movable buckle 210 is provided with a guide slope 213. The setting of the guide slope 213 makes the cross-sectional area of the buckle end 212 gradually increase, which can guide the buckle end 212 when it is inserted into the card slot 21, making it easier for the buckle end 212 to be inserted into the card slot 21, thereby improving the success rate and ease of locking the wristband 2 with the movable buckle 210.
[0076] In this embodiment, both the housing unit 120 and the quick-release assembly 200 can be made of metal, which allows the housing unit 120 and the quick-release assembly 200 to have a longer service life and mechanical strength.
[0077] This embodiment also provides a wearable device, including the wearable device housing 1 as described above. Figure 2 As shown, the wearable device also includes a wristband 2. Figure 3 As shown, the wristband 2 has a slot 21, and the quick-release components 200 correspond to the slots 21. That is, the number of slots 21 is the same as the number of quick-release components 200 and they correspond one-to-one. Slots 21 are provided on both sides of the wristband 2 in the width direction. The movable buckle 210 in the locking position engages with the corresponding slot 21. Specifically, the buckle end 212 of the movable buckle 210 engages with the corresponding slot 21 to lock the wristband 2 onto the wearable device housing 1, thus connecting the wearable device housing 1 and the wristband 2.
[0078] The wearable device provided in this embodiment enables quick detachment between the wearable device shell 1 and the wristband 2, and its space design is more reasonable, improving its thinness and lightness. It should be noted that the wearable device in this embodiment can be a smart wearable device, such as a smartwatch or blood pressure monitor.
