[0031] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, where the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0032] Unless otherwise defined, the technical or scientific terms used herein shall have the ordinary meaning understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. In the description of this invention, it should be understood that the terms “center,” “longitudinal,” “lateral,” “upper,” “lower,” “front,” “rear,” “left,” “right,” “vertical,” “horizontal,” “top,” “bottom,” “inner,” and “outer,” etc., indicating orientations or positional relationships based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, are used only for the convenience of describing this invention and for 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 invention. Furthermore, the terms “first” and “second” are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0033] This utility model provides a wearable electronic device, characterized by comprising: an electronic device body including electronic components; a battery compartment connected to the electronic device body; a removable battery housed in the battery compartment and supplying power to the electronic components; and a removable battery cover snapped into the battery compartment to close the battery compartment and fix the battery axially, wherein the battery cover has multiple snap-fit ​​portions that can be inserted into the battery compartment and elastically deform radially inward during insertion, thereby achieving the snap-fit ​​connection.

[0034] This invention provides a simple and reliable design for a removable battery in wearable electronic devices. Multiple latches secure the battery cover to the battery compartment, reliably fixing the battery axially and ensuring reliable electrical connection between the battery and the contact springs of the electrical connector. This design meets future environmental and compliance requirements.

[0035] It should be noted that, in this invention, wearable electronic devices include various small wearable electronic products that require battery replacement, such as wireless headphones and eyeglasses. Furthermore, the batteries in these wearable electronic devices can be charged within the device itself, and the batteries can be replaced when their capacity is low or their lifespan has expired.

[0036] In one or more embodiments of the present invention, the battery cover includes an end cover and an annular sidewall protruding axially from the end cover. The annular sidewall includes a plurality of circumferentially spaced sidewall segments as the plurality of snap-fit ​​portions. Each of the snap-fit ​​portions has a radially outwardly tapering protrusion on its radially outer side. The inner wall of the battery compartment has a groove that engages with the protrusion. The plurality of snap-fit ​​portions are configured as two sidewall segments facing each other. The protrusion has an inclined first surface on the side away from the end cover and a stop surface extending perpendicularly to the axial direction on the side facing the end cover.

[0037] This design allows for easy and convenient installation of the battery cover. During insertion of the battery cover's sidewall into the battery compartment, the raised, inclined first surface interacts with the sidewall to achieve elastic deformation of the latching part. After installation, a stop surface extending perpendicular to the axial direction prevents the battery cover from accidentally detaching. Furthermore, this detachable design is simple and reliable, making it particularly suitable for smaller electronic devices such as ear-hook headphones or eyeglasses.

[0038] In one or more embodiments of the present invention, the end cap includes an annular edge portion that protrudes radially outward from the annular sidewall, the annular edge portion having a separation portion for separating the snap-fit ​​connection, the separation portion being located circumferentially between the two snap-fit ​​portions, each protrusion having an inclined second surface on a circumferential side facing the separation portion, wherein the second surface extends along the tangential direction of the sidewall.

[0039] Based on the relative positional relationship between the separation portion and the two latching portions as defined above, and the arrangement of the inclined second surface, the protrusion can be easily and effectively dislodged from the groove, thereby separating the battery cover from the battery compartment. Furthermore, this separation method, combined with the aforementioned latching connection method, provides a simple, convenient, and reliable detachable solution, particularly suitable for small wearable electronic devices.

[0040] In this document, the battery compartment is cylindrical, including but not limited to a cylindrical shape. Therefore, the term "axis" refers to the central axis of the battery compartment. The terms "axial" or "axial direction" refer to the direction along the axis of the battery compartment; the terms "radial" or "radial direction" refer to the direction generally perpendicular to the axis of the battery compartment; the terms "radial inward" or "radial inner" refer to a component, part, location, or orientation relatively close to the axis; and the terms "radial outward" or "radial outer" refer to a component, part, location, or orientation relatively far from the axis. The term "circumferential" refers to the direction around the axis.

[0041] Figure 1 A perspective view of an ear-hook OWS headset 100 according to one embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. Figure 1 As can be seen, the earphone 100 includes an earphone body 102, a battery compartment 110, a removable battery 120, and a removable battery cover 130. The earphone body 102 includes electronic components such as a speaker. The battery compartment 110 is generally cylindrical and has an axis x. One axial end of the battery compartment 110 is connected to the earphone body 102 via an ear hook 140. The removable battery 120 is housed in the battery compartment 110 and supplies power to the electronic components via an electrical connector 150. The battery cover 130 is located at the other axial end of the battery compartment 110 and is snap-fitted to the battery compartment 110. A sealing ring 160 is provided at the joint between the battery cover 130 and the battery compartment 110.

[0042] Figure 1 It can also be seen that the battery 120 has an axially extending guide ridge 120a, which matches the shape of a corresponding groove (not shown) on the inner wall of the battery compartment 110 to ensure that the battery 120 is correctly electrically connected.

[0043] Figure 2 Another exploded view of an ear-hook OWS headset according to one embodiment of the present disclosure is shown, in which the battery compartment 110 is connected to the headset body 102. When the battery 120 has low capacity or reaches the end of its life, only the battery cover 130 needs to be removed and the battery 120 replaced, while the battery compartment 110 remains connected to the headset body 102 at all times.

[0044] Figure 3 A battery 120 according to one embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. As can be seen, one end of the battery 120 is provided with a positive electrode 120a, a negative electrode 120b, and an electrode 120c for temperature detection. In addition to the guide ridge 122, the electrical connection end of the battery 120 is also provided with two positioning grooves 124 to ensure proper connection between the battery 120 and the electrical connector 150.

[0045] Figure 4 It shows Figure 1 The connection status and disassembly method of the ear-hook type OWS headphones. A separation part 180 is provided at the joint between the battery compartment 110 and the battery cover 130. At the separation part 180, a boss 132 is provided on the annular edge of the battery cover 130 (see also...). Figure 5-7 and Figure 10 The outer wall of the battery compartment 110 is provided with a recess 112 corresponding to the boss 132 (see also...). Figure 10The earphone 100 is equipped with a puller 170 for pulling the battery cover 130 axially open from the battery compartment 110. The puller 170 has a hook 172 that can be inserted into the notch 112 and simultaneously abut against the boss 132 axially to pull the battery cover 130 axially open from the battery compartment 110. Any other form of puller 170 is conceivable, as long as it has a hook 172.

[0046] Figure 5-7 A top view, a side view, and a perspective view of a battery cover 130 according to one embodiment of the present disclosure are shown respectively. Figure 5-7 As clearly seen, the battery cover 130 includes: an end cover 134; and an annular sidewall 136 extending axially from the end cover 134. The annular sidewall is provided with two latching portions 136b, namely two sidewall segments circumferentially spaced apart by four openings 136a. One latching portion 136b is defined between two adjacent openings 136a, and another latching portion 136b is defined between two other openings 136a. The two latching portions 136b are thus configured as two sidewall segments facing each other. Each latching portion 136b is thus cantilevered, allowing for radial elastic deformation.

[0047] Combination Figure 5-7 Clearly, each latching portion 136b has a radially outwardly tapering protrusion 138 on its radially outer side. During the insertion of the annular sidewall 136 of the battery cover 130 into the battery compartment 110, the latching portion 136b undergoes radial elastic deformation due to the resistance of the protrusion 138 against the sidewall of the battery compartment 110, thereby allowing the protrusion 138 to engage with the groove 114 provided on the inner wall of the battery compartment 110 (see...). Figure 8 This forms a snap-fit ​​connection between the battery cover 130 and the battery compartment 110.

[0048] In this embodiment, only two opposing latching portions 136b are shown on the annular sidewall of the battery cover 130. In one or more embodiments of this disclosure, it is also conceivable that the annular sidewall 136 may include additional latching portions with additional protrusions that taper radially outward. For example, these additional protrusions may be located radially opposite to the boss 132. Accordingly, the battery compartment 110 should have additional grooves at corresponding inner wall locations.

[0049] Figure 5-7As can be seen, the end cap 134 includes an annular edge portion 134a that protrudes radially outward from the annular sidewall 136. A boss 132 is provided on the annular edge portion 134a, marking the separation portion 180 for separating the snap-fit ​​connection and assisting in the disassembly process of the puller. In one or more embodiments of this invention, the annular edge portion 134a may not have a boss 132, or the separation portion 180 for separating the snap-fit ​​connection may be marked by another simple symbol.

[0050] from Figure 5 As can be seen, the separating portion 180 is located circumferentially between the two protrusions 138. In one or more embodiments of this utility model, the separating portion 180 is equidistant from the two protrusions 138. In other words, in Figure 5 In the plane of the figure, the two protrusions 138 are symmetrical with respect to the section line BB shown.

[0051] Figure 5-7 It is also shown that each protrusion 138 has an inclined first surface 138a on the side away from the end cap 134. The first surface 138a is used to cooperate with the inner edge of the battery compartment 110 to allow the latching part 136b to be radially elastically deformed and inserted into the battery compartment 110, while the protrusion 138 can engage with the groove 114.

[0052] Each protrusion 138 has an inclined second surface 138b on a circumferential side facing the separation portion 180. The second surface 138b is configured to extend substantially along the tangential direction of the annular sidewall 136. This arrangement facilitates the separation of the battery cover 130 from the battery compartment 110 by a pulling tool 170. Specifically, during the pulling process performed at the separation portion 180, the second surfaces 138b of the protrusions 138 of the two latching portions 136b first disengage from the grooves 114, and then the entire protrusion 138 is smoothly disengaged from the grooves 114.

[0053] The third surface 138c of the protrusion 138, which is opposite to the second surface 138b, does not need to be set to be inclined like the second surface 138b; it can even be set to be vertical.

[0054] It should be noted that the inclined second surface 138b and the third surface 138c both correspond to the circumferential side of the protrusion 138, with the second surface 138b being closer to or towards the separation portion 180 than the third surface 138c. The third surface 138c is located on a circumferential side of the protrusion 138 away from the separation portion 180.

[0055] Figure 6The protrusion 138 is shown to have a stop surface 138d on the side facing the end cap 134 (see also...). Figure 9 The stop surface 138d is configured to extend perpendicular to the axial direction. After the protrusion 138 engages in the groove 114, the protrusion 138 of the battery cover 130 abuts against the groove 114 of the battery compartment 110 with the stop surface 138d, thereby preventing the battery cover 130 from disengaging from the battery compartment 110. Figure 6 Also shown is a structure at the junction of the annular sidewall 136 and the annular edge portion 134a for receiving a sealing ring 160 (shown in...). Figure 1 ) containing tank 136c.

[0056] from Figure 7 It can also be seen that the battery cover 130 has a central cavity 130c (see also...) Figure 9-10 The central cavity can accommodate an elastomer (or soft rubber pad, not shown). The elastomer can axially fix the battery 120 when the battery cover 130 is in the connected state, thereby ensuring the electrical connection of the battery 120.

[0057] Figure 8 A partial perspective view of a battery compartment 110 according to one embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. A groove 114 is provided on the inner wall of the battery compartment 110. The dimensions of the groove 114 are adapted to the dimensions of the protrusion 138 to allow for smooth snap-fit ​​connection and separation of the battery compartment 110 and the battery cover 130.

[0058] Figure 9 It shows Figure 4 The ear-hook OWS headphones 100 along Figure 5 The partial cross-sectional view obtained by section AA shown illustrates the snap-fit ​​connection between the battery cover 130 and the battery compartment 110. As can be seen, the annular sidewall 136 of the battery cover 130 extends into the battery compartment 110, and the protrusion 138 on the annular sidewall 136 engages with the groove 114 and abuts against the battery compartment 110 axially via the stop surface 138d. A sealing ring 160 is located at the root of the annular sidewall 136 of the battery cover 130, i.e., at the junction of the annular sidewall 136 and the annular edge 134a of the end cap 134. Here, the sidewall of the battery compartment 110 abuts axially against the annular edge 134a of the end cap 134 and is located radially outside the sealing ring 160. This configuration advantageously achieves the snap-fit ​​connection between the battery cover 130 and the battery compartment 110 and ensures the waterproof performance of this snap-fit ​​connection.

[0059] from Figure 9The sealing ring 160 and the receiving groove 136c provided on the battery cover 136 are also visible. The annular sidewall 136 is weakest at the location of the receiving groove 136c that accommodates the sealing ring 160, i.e., its diameter is smallest. This location is close to the cantilevered latching part 136b (see...). Figure 5 Therefore, the snap-fit ​​part 136b is more prone to radial elastic deformation.

[0060] Figure 10 It shows Figure 4 The ear-hook OWS headphones 100 along Figure 5 The partial cross-sectional view obtained by cutting the battery cover 130 shows the separation portion 180 between the battery cover 130 and the battery compartment 110. The figure shows the correspondence between the boss 132 of the battery cover 130 and the recess 112 of the battery compartment 110. Figure 4 The hook 172 of the pulling tool 170 shown is capable of being inserted radially into the notch 112 and abutting axially against the boss 132. By applying an outward force axially, the protrusion 138 can be pulled out of the groove 114, wherein, as previously described, the second surface 138b of the protrusion 138 is pulled out first (see...). Figure 5-7 ).

[0061] Figure 11 It shows Figure 4 The ear-hook OWS headphones 100 along Figure 5 The diagram shows another partial cross-sectional view obtained from section AA, illustrating the connection between the earphone body 102 and the battery compartment 110. It should be noted that this connection is not designed for disassembly by the earphone user.

[0062] Depend on Figure 11 The visible electrical connector 150 includes a printed circuit board 152 and three spring contacts 154 connected to the printed circuit board; only two are shown here. The three spring contacts respectively abut against the three electrodes of the battery 120 along the axial direction. Figure 3 Conductive connections are made on the positive electrode 120a, the negative electrode 120b, and the electrode 120c used for temperature detection, as shown in the figure.

[0063] As illustrated above, the disassembly and assembly process of the detachable earphone 100 is simple and convenient. During disassembly, the puller 170 hooks onto the protrusion 132 at the separation part 180 and pulls it outwards axially to remove the battery cover 130. The battery 120 is then ejected by the spring contact 154, allowing for battery replacement. During assembly, the sealing ring 160 is installed in the receiving groove 136c of the battery cover 130, and the elastomer is installed in the central cavity 130c of the battery cover 130, thus forming a battery cover assembly. This battery cover assembly is then inserted axially into the battery compartment 110 to form a snap-fit ​​connection and secure the battery 120 axially.

[0064] It should be noted that this disclosure is not limited to ear-hook OWS headphones, but can also be applied to ear-hook eyewear devices, or other suitable small wearable electronic devices. In the exemplary embodiment, the battery compartment is connected to the headphone body via the ear hook; it is also possible to connect it to the eyewear device body via the ear hook, or it can be envisioned for application to other wearable electronic devices with a separate battery compartment.
