[0049] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0050] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used 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 as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this utility model, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0051] For ease of description of the first, second, and third directions in the embodiments of this application, the first direction is the left-right direction in the figures, the second direction is the front-back direction in the figures, and the third direction is the up-down direction in the figures. The x-axis arrow direction is referred to as the "right" direction, the y-axis arrow direction as the "up" direction, and the z-axis arrow direction as the "back" direction, but these are not the sole limitations in the actual application of this application.

[0052] like Figure 1-3As shown, this embodiment provides a watch strap, which includes a first watch strap body 110, a second watch strap body 120, a flexible circuit board 130, a magnetic connection assembly 140, and an electrode assembly 150. The first watchband body 110 is used for mounting and wearing the main unit 100; the second watchband body 120 is mounted on the first watchband body 110 and can be separated from the first watchband body 110; the flexible circuit board 130 is installed inside the second watchband body 120 and is used for signal transmission; the magnetic connection assembly 140 is installed on the second watchband body 120 and is used to connect the main unit 100 and the flexible circuit board 130; the electrode assembly 150 is installed on the second watchband body 120, one side of the electrode assembly 150 is connected to the flexible circuit board 130 inside the second watchband body 120, and the other side of the electrode assembly 150 protrudes outside the second watchband body 120; wherein, when the second watchband body 120 is mounted on the first watchband body 110, the flexible circuit board 130 and the main unit 100 are tightly connected via the magnetic connection assembly 140. The second watch band body 120 is installed on the first watch band body 110, meaning that the second watch band body 120 and the first watch band body 110 can be removed. When the second watch band body 120 needs to be replaced, only the first watch band body 110 needs to be removed. The flexible circuit board 130, electrode assembly 150, and magnetic connection assembly 140 are all installed on the second watch band body 120. This means that if the flexible circuit board 130, electrode assembly 150, or magnetic connection assembly 140 is damaged, only the second watch band body 120 needs to be replaced, making replacement more convenient. The magnetic connection assembly 140 is attached to the socket 230 on the host 100 by magnetic attraction. If the magnetic connection assembly 140 is slightly separated due to a collision, it will reconnect tightly under the magnetic attraction, effectively preventing poor contact problems.

[0053] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the magnetic connection assembly 140 includes a magnet 141 and a connector 142. The connector 142 is fixed to the second watchband body 120, and is connected to the flexible circuit board 130. The magnet 141 is installed on the connector 142 and located outside the connector 142. When the connector 142 is connected to the host 100, the magnet 141 is attracted to the host 100 to prevent the connector 142 from detaching from the host 100. That is, when the connector 142 is placed in the socket 230 of the host 100 and connected to the host 100, the magnet 141 is attracted to the iron block or magnetic block installed in the socket 230, ensuring that the connector 142 does not detach from the socket 230. If a collision causes the connector 142 to separate slightly, it will reconnect tightly under the attraction of the magnet 141, thereby ensuring normal signal transmission.

[0054] like Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, the electrode assembly 150 includes an electrode sheet 151 and a rubber component 152. The rubber component 152 covers the electrode sheet 151. That is, the electrode sheet 151 is covered by the rubber component 152, and the electrode sheet 151 contacts the skin through the rubber component 152. Using a rubber sheet to contact the skin allows for better contact with the skin due to the deformation of the rubber, resulting in a better stimulation effect when the electrode sheet 151 stimulates the median and radial nerves of the wrist.

[0055] In this embodiment, the flexible circuit board 130 has multiple output sections, and electrode pads 151 are respectively mounted on one output section, with each output section corresponding to the median nerve and radial nerve of the wrist. By using one output section for each electrode pad 151, the working power of the electrode pad 151 can be controlled individually as needed.

[0056] In this embodiment, the second strap body 120 is made of a flexible material. The flexible material can be silicone, rubber, nylon fiber, TPE, TPU, etc. Using a flexible material allows the rubber components 152 on the electrode pads 151 to better contact the skin, thus ensuring more stable output.

[0057] like Figure 1 As shown, in the first embodiment, the watch strap also includes a loop fastener 200, a hook fastener 210, and a female buckle of a snap fastener 220 disposed on the second watch strap body 120; the loop fastener 200 is fixedly installed with the first watch strap body 110; the hook fastener 210 is fixedly installed with the second watch strap body 120; the hook fastener 210 is located on the side away from the magnetic connection component 140; the female buckle of the snap fastener 220 is located on the side close to the magnetic connection component 140, and the female buckle of the snap fastener 220 is used to cooperate and fix with the male buckle of the snap fastener 220 disposed on the host 100; the sides of the first watch strap body 110 and the second watch strap body 120 away from the magnetic connection component 140 are fixed by the loop fastener 200 and the hook fastener 210. In other words, the first watchband body 110 and the second watchband body 120 are fixed together by hook and loop fasteners 200 and hook and loop fasteners 210, and the first watchband body 110 and the main unit 100 are fixedly connected by snap fasteners 220. The use of hook and loop fasteners 200 and hook and loop fasteners 210 and snap fasteners 220 for fixing facilitates the installation and removal of the second watchband body 120. If the flexible circuit board 130, electrode assembly 150 and magnetic connection assembly 140 on the second watchband body 120 are damaged, only a new second watchband body 120 needs to be replaced, which is simple and convenient.

[0058] In the second embodiment, the watch strap also includes a loop fastener 200 and a hook fastener 210; the loop fastener 200 is fixedly installed to the first watch strap body 110; the hook fastener 210 is fixedly installed to the second watch strap body 120; the first watch strap body 110, the second watch strap body 120, and the main unit 100 are fixed by the loop fastener 200 and the hook fastener 210. That is to say, the second watch strap body 120 is fixed to the first watch strap body 110 and the main unit 100 using the loop fastener 200 and the hook fastener 210. Similar to the first embodiment, the use of the loop fastener 200 and the hook fastener 210 for fixation facilitates the installation and removal of the second watch strap body 120. If the flexible circuit board 130, electrode assembly 150, and magnetic connection assembly 140 on the second watch strap body 120 are damaged, only a new second watch strap body 120 needs to be replaced.

[0059] In the third embodiment, the watch strap also includes multiple buckles 220; the male buckle of the buckle 220 is installed on the first watch strap body 110; the female buckle of the buckle 220 is installed on the second watch strap body 120; the first watch strap body 110, the second watch strap body 120, and the main unit 100 are fixedly installed via the buckles 220. That is, the second watch strap body 120 is fixed to the first watch strap body 110 and the main unit 100 using buckles 220. Similar to the first embodiment, the use of buckles 220 for fixing facilitates the installation and removal of the second watch strap body 120. If the flexible circuit board 130, electrode assembly 150, and magnetic connection assembly 140 on the second watch strap body 120 are damaged, only a new second watch strap body 120 needs to be replaced.

[0060] In this embodiment, the rubber component 152 covers both the output portion and the electrode sheet 151; the strap also includes a protective layer; the protective layer covers the flexible circuit board 130 between two adjacent electrode assemblies 150. By using a protective layer to cover the flexible circuit board 130 between two adjacent electrode assemblies 150, and by having the rubber component 152 cover both the output portion and the electrode sheet 151, it is possible to prevent sweat and moisture from seeping into the circuit board during use, which could lead to corrosion of the circuit board and affect its service life.

[0061] like Figure 5 As shown, this embodiment provides an electrical stimulation tremor therapy device, including a main unit 100 and a watch strap; a first watch strap body 110 is installed on both sides of the main unit 100, and a second watch strap body 120 is installed inside the main unit 100 via a magnetic connection assembly 140. That is, the first watch strap body 110 is not separated from the main unit 100, and the second watch strap body 120 can be produced, thus preventing the need to remove both watch strap bodies, avoiding unnecessary trouble and waste of watch strap bodies.

[0062] In summary, this utility model provides an electrical stimulation tremor therapy device and a watchband. The second watchband body is installed on the first watchband body, meaning that the second watchband body and the first watchband body can be removed. When the flexible circuit board, electrode assembly, and magnetic connection assembly are damaged, only the second watchband body needs to be replaced, making replacement more convenient. The magnetic connection assembly is attached to the socket on the main unit by magnetic attraction. If the magnetic connection assembly is slightly separated due to a collision, it will reconnect tightly under the magnetic attraction, effectively preventing poor contact problems.

[0063] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this application, and are not intended to limit them. Although this application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features.
