Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of smart wearable device technology, and in particular to a control box and smart clothing. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, smart wearable devices (such as smart clothing and smart belts) typically employ a design with a control box. These control boxes mainly come in two structural forms: an integrated structure and a split design, where the control box consists of a main unit and a base. In the split design, the base is usually fixed to the main body of the smart wearable device, while the main unit is detachably connected to the base. This design facilitates the removal of the main unit for cleaning and allows for the separate sale of the main unit, thus improving product usability. However, existing split control box designs still have significant drawbacks: the connection between the main unit and the base is either not secure enough and prone to detachment, or the structure is too complex for quick assembly and disassembly. These shortcomings negatively impact the user experience to some extent. Utility Model Content

[0013] This utility model also provides a smart garment, including a garment body and a control box as described above, wherein the base is disposed on the garment body.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] 1. The main unit box and the base are connected by both the interlocking of the protrusion and the recess and the magnetic attraction of the first and second magnetic components. This invention not only improves the firmness of the connection between the main unit box and the base, but also facilitates quick assembly and disassembly of the main unit box.

[0016] 2. As a preferred embodiment, the protrusion and the recess are interlocked in the first direction, and the first magnetic component and the second magnetic component are magnetically connected in the second direction.

This bidirectional coordinated design not only significantly improves the overall stability of the connection structure and avoids connection failure caused by unidirectional force, but also, through the synergistic effect of interlocking and magnetic attraction, gives the installation process the dual advantages of precise positioning and convenient operation.

[0017] 3. This utility model places the conductive pin within the first groove, effectively reducing the risk of the conductive pin being damaged by pressure before the main unit box is connected to the base, and significantly improving the reliability of the structure.

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application according to the specific circumstances.

[0033] Furthermore, in the description of this utility model, unless otherwise stated, "multiple" refers to two or more. "And / or" describes the relationship between related objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can represent: A alone, A and B simultaneously, or B alone. The character " / " generally indicates that the preceding and following related objects have an "or" relationship.

[0034] Please see Figures 1-11 As shown, this utility model discloses a control box for smart wearable devices, such as smart clothing and smart belts. It includes a main unit box 1 and a base 2. The main unit box 1 has a first electrical connection part, and the base 2 has a second electrical connection part. The main unit box 1 and the base 2 are detachably connected, and in the connected state, the first electrical connection part and the second electrical connection part are in conductive contact. Specifically, the main unit box 1 and the base 2 achieve a plug-in connection through the cooperation of a protrusion and a recess. The main unit box 1 is provided with a first magnetic element 5, and the base 2 is provided with a second magnetic element 6. The first magnetic element 5 and the second magnetic element 6 are magnetically connected.

[0035] In a preferred embodiment, the protrusion and the recess are in an insertion state in the first direction; when the protrusion and the recess are in the insertion state, the first magnetic element 5 and the second magnetic element 6 are magnetically connected in the second direction, and the first electrical connection part and the second electrical connection part also cooperate in the second direction, with the first direction and the second direction being perpendicular. In this embodiment, the first direction is specifically the length direction of the control box, the second direction is the height direction of the control box, and the third direction mentioned below is the width direction of the control box.

[0036] The main unit box 1 has a first magnetic element 5 and a first electrical connection portion disposed on one wall in the second direction. In this embodiment, the wall in the second direction of the main unit box 1 is the bottom wall of the main unit box 1, that is, the bottom wall of the main unit box 1 is provided with the first magnetic element 5 and the first electrical connection portion. The base 2 includes a base 21 and a flange 22. The base 21 is provided with a second magnetic element 6 and a second electrical connection portion. The flange 22 is located at the first end of the base 21 in the first direction and protrudes from the base 21 on one side in the second direction. One of the protrusion and the recess is located on the flange 22 and faces the second end of the base 21 in the first direction. The other of the protrusion and the recess is located at the first end of the main unit box 1 in the first direction. In this embodiment, the recess is located on the flange 22; the protrusion is located on the main unit box 1 and protrudes from the main unit box 1 on one side in the first direction. During insertion, the protrusion is inserted into the recess at an angle relative to the first direction. In other embodiments, the recess is located on the main unit box 1 and the protrusion is located on the flange 22. In this embodiment, the protrusion is the insertion block 11 and the recess is the slot 221, but it is not limited to this. The insertion block 11 can be replaced by the insertion rod, and the slot 221 can be replaced by the insertion hole, which is an equivalent substitution.

[0037] The second electrical connection is located between the flange 22 and the second magnetic component 6, and the distance between the second electrical connection and the flange 22 is smaller than the distance between the second electrical connection and the second magnetic component 6. Specifically, the second electrical connection is closer to the first end of the base 21 in the first direction, while the second magnetic component 6 is closer to the second end of the base 21 in the first direction. The positions of the first magnetic component 5 and the first electrical connection on the main unit box 1 correspond to the positions of the second magnetic component 6 and the second electrical connection on the base 21, respectively. In this way, the contact action of the first electrical connection and the second electrical connection can take precedence over the magnetic attraction between the first magnetic component 5 and the second magnetic component 6. This phased connection mechanism has the following advantages: First, the first electrical connection and the second electrical connection contact first, which can ensure the reliability of the electrical connection and avoid poor contact caused by magnetic attraction; second, the electrical path established first can provide a guiding reference for the subsequent magnetic attraction, improving assembly accuracy; finally, this design can effectively prevent magnetic attraction from interfering with the initial positioning process of the electrical connection, which not only ensures the safety of the connection but also improves the overall assembly efficiency.

[0038] In a preferred embodiment, the outer surface of the bottom wall of the main unit box 1 (i.e., the bottom surface of the main unit box 1) is provided with a first groove 12. The first groove 12 penetrates the side wall of the main unit box 1 where the insert block 11 is provided, and the insert block 11 is flush with the bottom surface of the groove 12. The first electrical connection part includes a plurality of conductive pins 3, which are elastically and telescopically disposed on the bottom wall of the main unit box 1 and located in the first groove 12. The ends of the conductive pins 3 do not protrude beyond the extreme position of the outer surface of the bottom wall of the main unit box 1 (i.e., the bottom surface of the main unit box 1) in the second direction. This design effectively reduces the risk of the conductive pins 3 being damaged by pressure before the main unit box 1 is connected to the base 2, and significantly improves the reliability of the structure. The base 21 is provided with a first boss 211 that is adapted to the first groove 12. The second electrical connection part includes a plurality of conductive contact points that correspond one-to-one with the plurality of conductive pins 3. The plurality of conductive contact points are disposed on the first boss 211. This invention, through the design of the first protrusion 211 and the first groove 12 being adapted to each other, ensures the supporting strength of the first groove 12, avoids structural instability caused by suspension, and optimizes the overall assembly precision, enabling the product to have excellent mechanical durability while ensuring electrical performance. In this embodiment, each conductive contact point is a conductive post 4. One end of the conductive post 4 is electrically connected to the circuit board 7 set in the base 21. The conductive post 4 passes through the first protrusion 211, and the other end of the conductive post 4 is exposed and used for conductive contact with the conductive needle 3. The conductive needle 3, through its elastically extendable design, has a certain contact pressure with the conductive post 4, thereby ensuring the reliability of its contact with the conductive post 4. The conductive post 4 can be replaced by a conductive hole or other conductive structure, which is an equivalent replacement.

[0039] In a preferred embodiment, the middle portion of the first magnetic element 5 and the middle portion of the second magnetic element 6 are fitted with an insertion structure. This insertion structure includes a second groove 51 and a second protrusion 61 that interlock. The second groove 51 is formed in one of the first magnetic element 5 and the second magnetic element 6, and the second protrusion 61 is integrally formed in the other of the first magnetic element 5 and the second magnetic element 6. In this embodiment, the second groove 51 is specifically formed in the middle portion of the first magnetic element 5, and the second protrusion 61 is integrally formed in the middle portion of the second magnetic element 6, but this is not a limitation. The outer contours of the first magnetic element 5, the second magnetic element 6, the first groove 12, and the first protrusion 211 are all circular, but this is not a limitation. This utility model provides a complementary insertion structure at the center position of the first magnetic element 5 and the second magnetic element 6, providing dual protection through magnetic attraction and mechanical insertion: not only is initial positioning and connection retention achieved through the magnetic attraction of the magnetic elements, but the precise fit of the middle insertion structure further enhances the connection stability, effectively preventing relative displacement and misalignment. This dual locking mechanism, which combines magnetic attraction and mechanical insertion, retains the convenience of magnetic connection while compensating for the lack of shear resistance in pure magnetic connection. This makes the overall connection structure more reliable and impact-resistant while maintaining ease of assembly.

[0040] In this embodiment, both the first magnetic element 5 and the second magnetic element 6 are magnets, but this is not a limitation. In other embodiments, one of the first magnetic element 5 and the second magnetic element 6 is a magnet, and the other is a magnetic metal material. Multiple first magnetic elements 5 and multiple second magnetic elements 6 are provided. The multiple first magnetic elements 5 are spaced apart along a third direction perpendicular to the insertion direction of the protrusion and the recess, and the multiple second magnetic elements 6 correspond one-to-one with the multiple first magnetic elements 5. In this embodiment, two first magnetic elements 5 are used as an example, but this is not a limitation. The two first magnetic elements 5 are spaced apart along the width direction of the main junction box. Correspondingly, the number of second magnetic elements 6 is two.

[0041] In this embodiment, both the main unit box 1 and the base 21 are hollow structures. The main unit box 1 houses the battery and the main control board, and the aforementioned conductive pin 3 is electrically connected to the main control board. Multiple control buttons 8 are provided on the top wall of the main unit box 1 for controlling the working mode or adjusting the working parameters of the main control board. The circuit board 7 is housed within the cavity of the base 21, and the base 21 also has an interface for connecting the circuit board to external conductive or signal lines. The aforementioned flange 22 protrudes from the top wall of the base 21, and the recessed portion (i.e., slot 221) on the flange 22 connects to the inner cavity of the base 21. Specifically, the slot 221 penetrates the top wall of the base 21, thus making the slot 221 easier to manufacture.

[0042] Preferably, the second end of the base 21 and / or the second end of the main unit box 1 are provided with a disassembly notch 212 / 13 to provide a force application fulcrum or to provide clearance, so that the user can quickly remove the main unit box 1. Specifically, in this embodiment, both the second end of the base 21 and the second end of the main unit box 1 are provided with a disassembly notch 212 / 13.

[0043] In this embodiment, the bottom wall of the main unit box 1 is also provided with a third protrusion 14, and each first magnetic element 5 is respectively disposed on the third protrusion 14. The end face of the third protrusion 14 constitutes the extreme position of the bottom surface of the main unit box 1 in the second direction. The base 21 is provided with a third groove 213 that is adapted to the third protrusion 14, and each second magnetic element 6 is respectively located in the third groove 213.

[0044] In this utility model, a control box is connected by first tilting the main unit box 1 at a certain angle so that the plug 11 faces downwards and towards the slot 221. Figure 2 As shown, insert the plug 11 into the slot 221, and finally place the main unit box 1 on the top surface of the base 21. During this process, each conductive pin 3 on the main unit box 1 first makes conductive contact with the corresponding conductive post 4 on the base 21, and then each first magnetic element 5 is magnetically connected to the corresponding second magnetic element 6, and the second groove 51 in the middle of the first magnetic element 5 is inserted into the second protrusion 61 of the second magnetic element 6. For disassembly, first lift the second end of the main unit box 1 from the disassembly notch 212 / 13 to disengage the first magnetic element 5 from the second magnetic element 6, and then pull the plug 11 of the main unit box 1 out of the slot 221 on the base 2.

[0045] Therefore, the main unit box 1 and the base 2 of this utility model achieve a plug-in connection through the cooperation of the protrusion and the recess, and also achieve a magnetic connection through the first magnetic component 5 and the second magnetic component 6. This not only improves the firmness of the connection between the main unit box 1 and the base 2, but also makes the main unit box 1 easy to install and remove. In particular, this utility model first uses the plug-in cooperation of the protrusion and the recess to ensure accurate positioning and quick alignment of the main unit box 1, and then uses the strong magnetic attraction of the first magnetic component 5 and the second magnetic component 6 to provide a reliable connection holding force. This two-way coordinated design not only significantly improves the overall stability of the connection structure and avoids connection failure caused by unidirectional force, but also, through the synergistic effect of plug-in and magnetic attraction, makes the installation process both precise in positioning and convenient in operation.

[0046] This utility model relates to a smart garment, which includes a garment body and a control box as described above. The base 2 is disposed on the garment body.

[0047] The garment itself can be any common type of clothing, such as tops, pants, skirts, coats, shirts, dresses, sportswear, casual wear, underwear, and socks. It can also be specially designed sports protective gear, medical rehabilitation clothing, work uniforms, or other garments with specific functions. Electrodes for administering electrical pulse stimulation can be mounted on the garment itself. These electrodes are electrically connected to a circuit board in the base 2 via conductive wires. With the main unit 1 connected to the base 2, the operating state of the electrodes can be precisely controlled via the main unit 1, including but not limited to adjusting parameters such as the intensity, frequency, and duration of the electrical pulses.
