Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of terminal device hardware, specifically to a connection component, a watchband component, and a wearable device. Background Technology

[0002] Wearable devices, such as watches, bracelets, and smart glasses, are becoming increasingly popular. The comfort of wearing these wearable devices is an important factor affecting the user experience.

[0003] Wearing comfort is generally related to the tightness of the strap on a wearable device. However, different users have different requirements for wearing comfort, and the relationship between tightness and wearing comfort changes with environmental factors such as temperature and humidity. Furthermore, for wearable devices with various uses, the required tightness will differ depending on the application scenario. For example, for watches with blood pressure measurement functions, a tighter fit is usually needed to improve measurement accuracy when measuring blood pressure; when not measuring blood pressure, a looser fit can improve wearing comfort.

[0004] How to quickly adjust the tightness of wearable devices is a problem worth considering. Utility Model Content

[0005] This application provides a connecting component, a watch strap assembly, and a wearable device. The connecting component can be used to quickly and conveniently adjust the length of the watch strap assembly and the tightness of the wearable device.

[0006] In a first aspect, a connecting assembly is provided, comprising a buckle, a slider, a carrier, and a belt connector, the belt connector being fixedly connected to the carrier, the buckle being fixedly connected to the slider, the slider being mounted in a first guide groove of the carrier, the first guide groove extending along a first direction; the connecting assembly is configured such that, in response to the carrier moving a distance relative to the slider along a second direction greater than or equal to a distance threshold, the slider and the carrier switch from a locked state to an unlocked state, or the slider and the carrier switch from an unlocked state to a locked state; wherein the first direction is different from the second direction.

[0007] In one possible implementation, in the locked state, the slider can move unidirectionally relative to the carrier (e.g., along the first direction or in the opposite direction of the first direction); in the unlocked state, the slider can move bidirectionally relative to the carrier (including the first direction and the opposite direction of the first direction).

[0008] In one possible implementation, the buckle and the strap connector can be used to connect two straps (such as a watch strap), wherein the buckle engages with buckle holes on the strap to achieve relative fixation with the strap.

[0009] In one possible implementation, the first direction can be the length direction of the connecting component, and the second direction can be the width direction of the connecting component. The first direction and the second direction can be perpendicular to each other.

[0010] In some scenarios, the first guide groove extends along the first direction, which can also be understood as the extension direction of the first guide groove being parallel to the first direction.

[0011] It is understood that the fixed connection between the belt connector and the carrier can include a direct or indirect connection between the belt connector and the carrier. Similarly, the fixed connection between the fastener and the slider can include a direct or indirect connection between the fastener and the slider.

[0012] In this technical solution, the slider is loaded in a first guide groove, which extends along a first direction. Thus, under the action of an external force, the slider can move relative to the carrier in the first direction. Since the buckle is fixedly connected to the slider, and the carrier is fixedly connected to the belt connector, relative movement can occur between the buckle and the belt connector in the first direction under the action of an external force. The buckle can be used to connect one belt, and the belt connector can be used to connect another belt; thus, under the action of an external force, the two belts can move relative to each other in the first direction.

[0013] In this technical solution, the user can push the carrier in the second direction to switch the connecting component between an unlocked and locked state, thereby enabling adjustment of the circumference of the wearing area between the two straps. Compared to the adjustment method of pulling the buckle out of one buckle hole and inserting it into another buckle hole on the strap, this improves the convenience of adjusting the strap circumference and the tightness of the electronic device, thus enhancing the user experience.

[0014] In conjunction with the first aspect, in some implementations of the first aspect, the carrier includes a rack, the slider includes a protrusion, the rack and the protrusion are disposed opposite each other, and the slider is locked to the carrier, including: the protrusion of the slider engages with the rack; and / or, the slider is unlocked from the carrier, including: the protrusion of the slider separates from the rack.

[0015] In one possible implementation, the protrusion of the slider can be wedge-shaped or tooth-shaped.

[0016] In one possible implementation, the rack may include multiple teeth arranged along and inclined in a first direction. The teeth on the rack may include a first contact surface and a second contact surface, both of which may have an inclination angle of no more than 90° with respect to the first direction.

[0017] In one possible implementation, in the locked state, the rack can restrict the slider to move in the opposite direction of the first direction; in the unlocked state, the rack does not restrict the slider to move in the first direction or in the opposite direction of the first direction.

[0018] In one possible implementation, the protrusion of the slider and the rack can be arranged opposite each other along a second direction. When the distance the carrier moves relative to the slider along the second direction is greater than or equal to a distance threshold, the protrusion of the slider and the rack can switch from an engaged state to a disengaged state, or vice versa.

[0019] Compared to a structure that uses magnetic attraction to switch between unlocked and locked states, the use of a rack and pinion mechanism simplifies the structure of the carrier and slider, reduces the number of functional components in the connecting assembly, improves production efficiency, reduces maintenance difficulty, and enhances reliability.

[0020] In conjunction with the first aspect, in some implementations of the first aspect, the rack is located on the sidewall of the first guide groove.

[0021] In one possible implementation, the sidewall of the first guide groove is approximately parallel to the first direction.

[0022] In one possible implementation, the carrier further includes a pressing part that can be disposed away from the rack. For example, in the second direction, the rack, slider, and pressing part of the carrier are arranged sequentially.

[0023] In one possible implementation, the slider and the snap fastener can be stacked along the thickness direction of the slider. Compared to a structure that places the rack at the top or bottom of the first guide groove, placing the rack on the side wall of the first guide groove will not interfere with the placement of components such as the snap fastener, which is beneficial for achieving a reasonable arrangement of functional components within the connecting assembly and can reduce the size of the connecting assembly to some extent.

[0024] In conjunction with the first aspect, in some implementations of the first aspect, the carrier includes a second guide groove located on the bottom plate of the first guide groove and extending along the first direction; the connecting assembly also includes a connector; the slider includes a through hole; a protrusion of the connector extends out of the through hole and is located within the second guide groove.

[0025] In one possible implementation, the second guide groove can be a hollow or non-hollow structure.

[0026] In one possible implementation, with reference to the thickness direction of the support member, the first guide groove can be located above the second guide groove.

[0027] In this technical solution, the connecting component is provided with two guide grooves extending along the first direction. The cooperation of these two guide grooves can make the relative movement of the slider and the carrier more stable in the first direction, which is beneficial to improving the reliability of the adjustment function of the connecting component.

[0028] In conjunction with the first aspect, in some implementations of the first aspect, the difference between the width of the second guide groove and the width of the protrusion is greater than the width of the protrusion of the slider.

[0029] In one possible implementation, the width of the second guide groove can refer to its maximum dimension in the second direction, the width of the protrusion can refer to its maximum dimension in the second direction, and the width of the projection can refer to its maximum dimension in the second direction.

[0030] During the process of switching the connecting component from the locked state to the unlocked state, the protrusion will undergo relative movement with respect to the second guide groove in the second direction. The second guide groove and the protrusion satisfy the dimensional relationship of this technical solution, and the second guide groove does not obstruct the movement of the protrusion in the second direction, which is beneficial to improving the feasibility of this technical solution.

[0031] In conjunction with the first aspect, in some implementations of the first aspect, the connecting assembly further includes an inner fork plate fixedly connected to the belt body connector, and the carrier part is received in a slot in the inner fork plate.

[0032] In one possible implementation, the inner fork plate includes a cover plate and a bottom plate, which are spaced apart in the thickness direction of the inner fork plate, and the space between them can form the aforementioned slot.

[0033] By providing slots in the thickness direction of the inner fork plate to accommodate the load-bearing component, the impact of the load-bearing component on the volume and appearance of the connecting components is reduced to a certain extent. This is conducive to miniaturizing the connecting components and improving the user experience.

[0034] In conjunction with the first aspect, in some implementations of the first aspect, the carrier includes a first pressing portion exposed in the slot.

[0035] In one possible implementation, the user can switch the connection component from a locked state to an unlocked state by pressing the first pressing part.

[0036] The first pressing part is exposed in the slot, which makes it easy for the user to operate.

[0037] In conjunction with the first aspect, in some implementations of the first aspect, the inner fork plate includes a second pressing portion disposed opposite to the first pressing portion of the carrier member.

[0038] Compared to a design with only one pressing part, the design with both a first pressing part and a second pressing part allows the user to place one finger on the first pressing part and another finger on the second pressing part during operation, making it easier for the user to push the first pressing part and improving the user experience.

[0039] In conjunction with the first aspect, in some implementations of the first aspect, the connecting component further includes a first elastic member and / or a second elastic member, and the carrier member includes a first abutting portion and / or a second abutting portion; a first end of the first elastic member abuts against the first abutting portion, and / or a first end of the second elastic member abuts against the second abutting portion.

[0040] In conjunction with the first aspect, in some implementations of the first aspect, the first abutting portion and the second abutting portion are disposed on both sides of the carrier along the first direction.

[0041] In conjunction with the first aspect, in some implementations of the first aspect, the inner fork plate includes a first stop portion and / or a second stop portion, the first stop portion and the first abutting portion being disposed opposite each other along the second direction, the second stop portion and the second abutting portion being disposed opposite each other along the second direction, the second end of the first elastic member abutting against the first stop portion, and / or, the second end of the second elastic member abutting against the second stop portion.

[0042] In one possible implementation, the deformation direction of the first elastic element and / or the second elastic element may be parallel to the second direction.

[0043] When the user presses the first pressing part, the deformation of the first elastic element and / or the second elastic element increases, and the carrier and the slider can move relative to each other in the second direction until they separate and the connecting component is unlocked; when the user removes the force applied to the first pressing part, the first elastic element and / or the second elastic element restores its deformation and pushes the carrier and the slider to move relative to each other in the opposite direction of the second direction until they engage with each other and the connecting component is locked.

[0044] In this technical solution, the relative positions of the slider and the carrier in the second direction are maintained by the first elastic element and / or the second elastic element, which helps to simplify the structure of the connecting assembly and improve the reliability of the connecting assembly function.

[0045] In conjunction with the first aspect, in some implementations of the first aspect, the first elastic member and / or the second elastic member are received in a slot in the inner fork plate.

[0046] In this technical solution, housing the first elastic element and / or the second elastic element in the slot of the inner fork plate helps to reduce the overall volume of the connecting assembly. Furthermore, the first elastic element and / or the second elastic element housed in the slot are less susceptible to the effects of dust and moisture in the environment, which helps maintain the stability of the connecting assembly's function.

[0047] In conjunction with the first aspect, in some implementations of the first aspect, when the first elastic member is in a first state, the slider is locked to the carrier; when the first elastic member is in a second state, the slider is unlocked to the carrier; and / or, when the second elastic member is in a third state, the slider is locked to the carrier; when the second elastic member is in a fourth state, the slider is unlocked to the carrier.

[0048] Wherein, the deformation of the first elastic element in the first state is less than that in the second state, and / or, the deformation of the second elastic element in the third state is less than that in the fourth state.

[0049] In one possible implementation, the first elastic element in the first state and the second elastic element in the third state are both in a compressed state, and the first elastic element in the second state and the second elastic element in the fourth state are also both in a compressed state.

[0050] In conjunction with the first aspect, in some implementations of the first aspect, the inner fork plate further includes a guide groove communicating with the slot, the guide groove extending along the first direction, and the buckle passing through the guide groove.

[0051] The guide groove of the inner fork plate can cooperate with the first guide groove and the second guide groove of the carrier to make the relative movement of the slider and the carrier in the first direction more stable.

[0052] In conjunction with the first aspect, in some implementations of the first aspect, the slider includes a connecting hole in which one end of the buckle is received.

[0053] In conjunction with the first aspect, in some implementations of the first aspect, the connecting assembly further includes an outer fork plate, the belt connector is fixedly connected to the outer fork plate, a first end of the inner fork plate is connected to the first end of the outer fork plate by a pin, a second end of the inner fork plate is detachably connected to the second end of the outer fork plate, the outer fork plate includes a first connecting arm and a second connecting arm disposed opposite to each other, and a portion of the inner fork plate is located between the first connecting arm and the second connecting arm.

[0054] In conjunction with the first aspect, in some implementations of the first aspect, the first connecting arm of the outer fork plate includes a notch, in which the first pressing portion of the carrier is at least partially located.

[0055] By providing a notch on the first connecting arm to accommodate the first pressing part, the space occupied by the first pressing part in the connecting assembly can be reduced to a certain extent, thereby achieving miniaturization of the connecting assembly.

[0056] In conjunction with the first aspect, in some implementations of the first aspect, the first connecting arm of the outer fork plate includes a first bend that surrounds the first pressing portion of the carrier.

[0057] A first bend is provided on the first connecting arm and it surrounds the first pressing part. In this way, the first connecting arm will not interfere with the first pressing part. This structural solution is beneficial to improving the functional reliability of the connecting component.

[0058] In conjunction with the first aspect, in some implementations of the first aspect, the first pressing portion includes a first groove, and the first bent portion is partially located in the first groove.

[0059] In this technical solution, the first bending portion is partially housed in the groove of the first pressing portion. As a result, the overall thickness of the first bending portion and the first pressing portion is thinner, which is beneficial for miniaturizing the connecting component.

[0060] In conjunction with the first aspect, in some implementations of the first aspect, the first pressing portion is located on the side of the first connecting arm away from the second connecting arm.

[0061] In other words, the first pressing part can extend partially out of the first connecting arm to the side away from the second connecting arm.

[0062] Extending the first pressing part out of the first connecting arm allows the user to press the first pressing part directly without opening the inner fork plate, which improves the ease of operation of the connecting components.

[0063] In conjunction with the first aspect, in some implementations of the first aspect, the second connecting arm of the outer fork plate includes a second bend that surrounds the second pressing portion of the inner fork plate.

[0064] A second bend is provided on the second connecting arm and surrounds the second pressing part. In this way, the second connecting arm will not interfere with the second pressing part. This structural solution is beneficial to improving the functional reliability of the connecting component.

[0065] In conjunction with the first aspect, in some implementations of the first aspect, the second pressing portion includes a second groove, and the second bent portion is partially located in the second groove.

[0066] In this technical solution, the second bending portion is partially housed in the groove of the second pressing portion. As a result, the overall thickness of the second bending portion and the second pressing portion is thinner, which is beneficial for miniaturizing the connecting component.

[0067] In conjunction with the first aspect, in some implementations of the first aspect, the second pressing portion is located on the side of the second connecting arm away from the first connecting arm.

[0068] In other words, the second pressing part can extend partially out of the second connecting arm to the side away from the first connecting arm.

[0069] Extending the second pressing part out of the second connecting arm allows the user to press the second pressing part directly without opening the inner fork plate, which improves the ease of operation of the connecting components.

[0070] In conjunction with the first aspect, in some implementations of the first aspect, the connecting assembly further includes a belt connecting ring, and / or the belt connector includes a belt connecting hole.

[0071] In conjunction with the first aspect, in some implementations of the first aspect, the strap connecting ring is used to connect to the second strap, and / or the strap connecting hole is used to connect to the first strap.

[0072] In conjunction with the first aspect, in some implementations of the first aspect, the buckle is used to connect the second strap.

[0073] In a second aspect, a watch strap assembly is provided, including a first watch strap, a second watch strap, and a connection component in the first aspect and any possible implementation thereof, wherein the first watch strap and / or the second watch strap are connected to a strap body connector of the connection component.

[0074] In conjunction with the second aspect, in some implementations of the second aspect, the watchband assembly also includes an airbag.

[0075] Thirdly, a wearable device is provided, including a watch body and a strap assembly as described in the second aspect and any possible implementation thereof, the strap assembly being connected to the watch body, the watch body including a processor, an air pump, and a solenoid valve, the processor being used to control the air pump and / or the solenoid valve to inflate or deflate the airbag.

[0076] It is understood that, since the above-mentioned watch strap assembly and wearable device include the connection components provided in the embodiments of this application, the length of the watch strap assembly and the tightness of the wearable device can be adjusted relatively easily.

It should be understood that the reference numerals also apply to other identical parts or components. In addition, the various parts in the figures are not drawn to actual scale, and the dimensions and sizes of the parts shown in the figures are only exemplary and should not be construed as limiting this application.

[0100] In the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installed," "connected," "set in," and "connected" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; they can refer to mechanical connections or electrical connections; they can refer to direct connections or indirect connections through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal communication between two components.

[0101] Figure 1 The illustration shows an electronic device 10 provided in an embodiment of this application. The electronic device 10 can be a wristband or a watch. In some examples, the electronic device 10 may include a watch body 11, a watch strap 13 (first watch strap), a watch strap 15 (second watch strap), and a buckle 17. The two sides of the watch body 11 can be fixedly connected to the watch strap 13 and the watch strap 15 respectively, and the buckle 17 can be located at the end of the watch strap 13 (or watch strap 15) away from the watch body 11. When the user wears the electronic device 10, the buckle 17 can be used to connect the watch strap 13 and the watch strap 15.

[0102] In some examples, the watch body 11 may include components such as a watch case, a cover plate, a circuit board assembly, a power supply module, and a back cover. In some scenarios, the watch case may also be referred to as the middle frame of the watch body 11. The cover plate and the back cover may be located at opposite ends of the watch case, and the watch case, cover plate, and back cover may form a receiving cavity in which the circuit board assembly and power supply module of the electronic device 10 may be housed.

[0103] The circuit board assembly may include a processing unit and one or more sensors. The processing unit may be used to control these sensors to perform measurement and detection operations, and may also be used to process the detection results of the sensors.

[0104] For example, the aforementioned sensor may include one or more of the following: photoplethysmograph (PPG) sensor, barometric pressure sensor, fingerprint sensor, electrocardiogram (ECG) sensor, acceleration (ACC) sensor, magnetometer, ambient light sensor, proximity sensor, touch sensor, temperature sensor, gyroscope sensor, etc.

[0105] Among these, the PPG sensor can be used to detect heart rate, i.e., the number of heartbeats per unit time. The barometric pressure sensor can be used to detect the pressure value between the human body and the electronic device 10. The ECG sensor can be used to detect the capacitance between the human body and the electronic device 10, which reflects whether the contact between the two devices is good and can be used for ECG detection. The ACC sensor can be used to detect the magnitude of the acceleration of the electronic device 10 in various directions (generally three axes, i.e., x, y, and z axes). The value of this acceleration can be used to identify the posture of the electronic device 10 and is used in applications such as pedometers. The gyroscope sensor can be used to determine the motion posture of the electronic device 10. For example, the angular velocity of the electronic device 10 around the three axes (i.e., x, y, and z axes) can be determined by the gyroscope sensor, and these angular velocities can be used to reflect the user's motion state.

[0106] It should be understood that the above description of the sensors in the electronic device 10 is merely exemplary. In practical applications, the electronic device 10 may include more or fewer sensors, or other sensors with the same or similar functions may be used to replace the sensors listed above. This application embodiment does not limit the scope of the invention.

[0107] The power supply module can be used to power electronic components (such as processing units and various sensors) in the electronic device 10. Exemplarily, the power supply module may include a battery. In some examples, in a scenario where the electronic device 10 is being charged, the electronic device 10 is connected to a power supply device, and the power supply module can receive electrical energy input from the charging device and store energy in the battery.

[0108] In some examples, the watch straps 13 and 15 can be connected to the watch body 11 in various ways, including but not limited to: spring bar interface connection, fixed bar interface connection, hook connection, magnetic connection or threaded connection, etc., and this application does not limit them.

[0109] In some examples, the electronic device 10 may also include an accessory 19, which may be an airbag for blood pressure detection, an external electrode for electrocardiogram detection, or a sensor for ultraviolet intensity or light intensity detection, etc. This application does not limit this.

[0110] In one possible implementation, accessory 19 can be connected to strap 13 or strap 15, thereby being fixed relative to the watch body 11.

[0111] In some examples, the electronic device 10 may also include an air pump and a solenoid valve. The aforementioned accessory 19 may be an airbag for blood pressure detection. The airbag's nozzle may be connected to the air pump of the electronic device 10. The processing unit of the electronic device 10 may also be used to control the air pump and the solenoid valve to inflate or deflate the airbag connected to the electronic device 10.

[0112] During the use of electronic device 10, users may encounter application scenarios that require rapid and frequent adjustments to the tightness of the device. For example, in environments with increased temperature and humidity, users may need to lengthen the strap of electronic device 10 to improve wearing comfort. Alternatively, when measuring physiological data such as blood pressure and blood oxygen saturation, users may need to shorten the strap of electronic device 10 to ensure a better fit to the user's wearing area (e.g., wrist) and improve the accuracy of the measured physiological data. Furthermore, during sports such as running, soccer, or basketball, users may need to shorten the strap of electronic device 10 to prevent it from slipping off during exercise.

[0113] To improve the user experience of wearable devices in various scenarios, this application provides a connection component 20, which can be used to quickly adjust the tightness of the wearable device (such as the electronic device 10 mentioned above).

[0114] Figure 2 and Figure 3 The image shown is a perspective view of the connecting component 20 described above. The connecting component 20 can be used to enable a detachable connection between the watch strap 13 and the watch strap 15.

[0115] In some examples, the connecting component 20 may include a strap connector 21 and a buckle 23, wherein the strap connector 21 can be used to connect the watch strap 13, and the buckle 23 can be used to connect the watch strap 15. Alternatively, the strap connector 21 can be used to connect the watch strap 15, and the buckle 23 can be used to connect the watch strap 13. The following examples illustrate the former case; the latter case is similar and can be referred to for implementation.

[0116] For example, combined Figures 2 to 6 The two sides of the strap connector 21 may include extended structures, on which strap connection holes 210 may be formed, and these two connection holes 210 may be arranged opposite to each other. A connecting pipe may be provided at the end of the watch strap 13 that connects to the strap connector 21.

[0117] The watch strap 13 and the strap connector 21 can be connected by a pin 12. Specifically, the pin 12 can pass through the connecting pipe of the watch strap 13, and both ends of the pin 12 can be exposed outside the connecting pipe and inserted into the two strap connecting holes 210 of the aforementioned strap connector 21. In this way, the strap connector 21 can be fixed relative to the watch strap 13.

[0118] The aforementioned belt connection hole 210 can be a through hole or a blind hole, and this application does not impose any restrictions on this. Figure 3 The example uses the body connection hole 210 as a through hole.

[0119] For example, refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 The watch strap 15 may have multiple buckle holes 151, which are evenly arranged along the length of the watch strap 15. The buckle 23 can be inserted into these buckle holes 151 to achieve relative fixation with the watch strap 15.

[0120] It is understandable that when the buckle 23 is inserted into the buckle hole 151 at different positions, the relative positions between the watch strap 13 and the watch strap 15 are different, the circumference of the watch strap of the electronic device 10 (the length of the watch strap 13 and the watch strap 15 wrapped around the wrist) is different, and the tightness of the electronic device 10 is different.

[0121] Please refer to Figure 4 In some examples, to improve the breathability of the watch strap 13 and enhance the wearing comfort of the electronic device 10, the watch strap 13 may also be provided with multiple through holes 131, which may be evenly distributed along the length of the watch strap 13. In other examples, these through holes 131 may also be used to connect the watch strap 13 to accessories (such as airbags) of the electronic device 10.

[0122] It is understandable that providing similar buckle holes 151 and through holes 131 on both watch straps 13 and 15 can improve the uniformity of the appearance of watch straps 13 and 15, which is beneficial to improving the aesthetics of electronic device 10.

[0123] Similarly, it is understandable that the accessory 19 of the electronic device 10 can also be connected to the watch strap 15 via the buckle hole 151 on the watch strap 15.

[0124] In some examples, reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The connecting component 20 may further include a belt connecting ring 22, which can be fixedly connected to the belt connector 21.

[0125] For example, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, when the watch strap 13 is connected to the strap body connector 21, the watch strap 15 can pass through the strap body connector 22 and be fixed relative to the buckle 23, thereby improving the strength of the connection between the watch strap 13 and the watch strap 15.

[0126] As mentioned earlier, one part of the connecting component 20 can be fixedly connected to the watch strap 13, and the other part can be fixedly connected to the watch strap 15. Adjusting the circumference of the watch strap of the electronic device 10 can be understood as adjusting the relative position between the watch strap 13 and the watch strap 15. In other words, by adjusting the relative position between the two parts of the connecting component 20 that are fixedly connected to the watch strap 13 and the watch strap 15 respectively, the tightness of the electronic device 10 can be adjusted.

[0127] Figure 7 The image shown is an exploded view of the connecting component 20. (Reference) Figure 7 In the following example, the thickness direction of the connecting component 20 is taken as direction 01, the width direction of the connecting component is taken as direction 02 (second direction), and the length direction of the connecting component 20 is taken as direction 03 (first direction).

[0128] In some examples, the buckle 23 of the connecting component 20 and the belt connector 21 are capable of relative movement in a first direction.

[0129] For example, such as Figure 7 As shown, the connecting component 20 may include a slider 25 and a carrier 50.

[0130] The carrier 50 can be fixed relative to the strap connector 21, and the buckle 23 can be fixed relative to the slider 25. The slider 25 can move relative to the carrier 50 in the first direction. Thus, the buckle 23 connected to the slider 25 and the strap connector 21 connected to the carrier 50 can move relative to each other in the first direction. Consequently, the watch strap 15 connected to the buckle 23 and the watch strap 13 connected to the strap connector 21 can move relative to each other in the first direction.

[0131] In one possible example, the connecting assembly 20 may further include an inner fork plate 40 and an outer fork plate 30. The outer fork plate 30 is fixed relative to the belt body connector 21, and the inner fork plate 40 is fixed relative to the aforementioned load-bearing member 50. The inner fork plate 40 is also fixed relative to the outer fork plate 30. In this way, the load-bearing member 50 can be fixed relative to the belt body connector 21.

[0132] In some examples, such as Figure 8 As shown, the outer fork plate 30 may include a connecting plate 31, which can be used for fixed connection with the belt body connector 21.

[0133] For example, the outer fork plate 30 and the belt body connector 21 can be connected by one or more of the following methods: screw connection, snap connection, adhesive bonding, etc. This application does not limit this.

[0134] As an example, the connecting plate 31 of the outer fork plate 30 may include a through hole, and the belt body connector 21 may be provided with a corresponding connecting hole. When a fastener (such as a screw) passes through the through hole and the connecting hole, the outer fork plate 30 and the belt body connector 21 can be connected by a fastener.

[0135] For example, such as Figure 8 As shown, the connecting plate 31 of the outer fork plate 30 may include through holes 312 and 313. These two through holes may be disposed opposite to each other on both sides of the connecting plate 31 and are used to realize the fixed connection between the outer fork plate 30 and the belt body connector 21.

[0136] As one possible implementation, both through holes 312 and 313 can be countersunk holes. Alternatively, the connecting plate 31 can have two grooves, the positions of which correspond to the positions of through holes 312 and 313. Through holes 312 and 313 can be formed within these two grooves. In this way, the heads of fasteners (such as screws) used to connect the outer fork plate 30 to the belt connector 21 can be accommodated within the grooves on the connecting plate 31. This can, to some extent, reduce the interference of fastener placement on other components and improve the aesthetic appearance of the connecting assembly 20.

[0137] Continue to refer to Figure 8 In some examples, the outer fork plate 30 may also include two connecting arms 32 (a first connecting arm 3201 and a second connecting arm 3202, respectively), which can be fixedly connected to both sides of the connecting plate 31. The end of the connecting arm 32 away from the connecting plate 31 may be provided with a connecting hole 321, which can cooperate with a pin to realize the pin connection between the outer fork plate 30 and the inner fork plate 40.

[0138] For example, the connecting arm 32 may have a certain degree of curvature, which helps to improve the fit between the connecting component 20 and the wearing part (such as the wrist).

[0139] It is understandable that the shape and structure of the outer fork plate 30 (such as the connecting arm 32) are related to the shape and structure of other components included in the connecting assembly 20, which will be described in detail later.

[0140] In possible implementations, the connecting plate 31 and the two connecting arms 32 can be integrally formed, or the connecting plate 31 and the connecting arms 32 can be manufactured separately and then fixedly connected. This application does not impose any limitations on this.

[0141] Figure 9 and Figure 10 The diagram shown is a structural schematic of the strap connector 21 provided in an embodiment of this application. It should be noted that this structural schematic is only an example and should not be construed as a limitation of this application.

[0142] In some examples, the main body 211 of the belt connector 21 is a groove-shaped structure, and the connecting plate 31 of the aforementioned outer fork plate 30 can be placed on top of the groove-shaped structure.

[0143] For example, the strap connector 21 may include two oppositely arranged extensions 212, which may be connected to the two ends of the main body 211 respectively. The two extensions 212 may be provided with strap connection holes 210. As described above, the two strap connection holes 210 can be used to connect the strap connector 21 to the watch strap 13 (or watch strap 15).

[0144] For example, the main body 211 may include a connecting hole, which may correspond to the connecting hole (such as through hole 312 or through hole 313) of the outer fork plate 30 mentioned above, and is used to realize the fixed connection between the outer fork plate 30 and the belt body connector 21.

[0145] For example, such as Figure 9 As shown, the main body 211 of the belt connector 21 may include a connecting hole 2131 and a connecting hole 2132, which may be located on opposite sides of the main body 211 (e.g., Figure 9 (Left and right sides of the main body 211). Connecting holes 2131 and 2132 can be provided close to the edge of the belt connector 21. For example, connecting holes 2131 and 2132 can be close to the left extension 212 and the right extension 212 of the belt connector 21, respectively.

[0146] In some examples, the belt connector 21 may also include a movable element and an elastic element that cooperate to achieve a detachable connection between the inner fork plate 40 and the belt connector 21.

[0147] For example, such as Figure 9 As shown, the belt connector 21 may include a movable member 215, a movable member 217, and a plurality of elastic members 216. The movable members 215 and 217 may be arranged opposite to each other. The end of the movable member 215 away from the movable member 217 may abut against one or more elastic members 216. Similarly, the end of the movable member 217 away from the movable member 215 may abut against one or more elastic members 216.

[0148] Movable parts 215 and 217 can be spaced apart, or in other words, there can be a gap or interval between adjacent ends of movable parts 215 and 217. When the elastic member 216 is compressed and its deformation increases, the interval between movable parts 215 and 217 can increase; as the elastic member 216 gradually recovers its deformation from the compressed state, the interval between movable parts 215 and 217 can decrease.

[0149] As one possible example, continue to refer to Figure 9 The main body 211 of the belt connector 21 may include a receiving groove 2141 and a receiving groove 2142. The receiving groove 2141 can be used to receive the movable member 215 and the elastic member 216 that abuts against the movable member 215. The receiving groove 2142 can be used to receive the movable member 217 or the elastic member 216 that abuts against the movable member 217.

[0150] One possibility is that the movable member 215 (and / or the movable member 217) can abut against multiple elastic members 216. In this case, the receiving groove 2141 (and / or the receiving groove 2142) can be provided with multiple mutually spaced sub-receiving grooves. Adjacent sub-receiving grooves can be separated by partitions. Each sub-receiving groove can accommodate one elastic member 216. In this way, each elastic member 216 can deform in an independent sub-receiving groove, the mutual interference between adjacent elastic members 216 is smaller, and the movement of the movable member 215 (and / or the movable member 217) is more stable.

[0151] As an example rather than a limitation, such as Figure 9 As shown, receiving grooves 2141 and 2142 can be formed between connecting hole 2131 and connecting hole 2132.

[0152] Figure 10 The diagram shown is a structural schematic of a movable component 215 provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 10 The illustration on the left side of the middle. Figure 10-1 This is a perspective view of movable part 215, shown on the right. Figure 10-2 The main view and a partial enlarged view of the movable part 215 are shown.

[0153] It should be noted that, Figure 10 The structure shown is only one possible example of the movable part 215 and should not be regarded as a limitation of this application.

[0154] It should also be noted that the shape and structure of movable part 217 are similar to those of movable part 215, and can be used as a reference.

[0155] In some examples, movable member 215 may include a snap-fit ​​portion 2152; similarly, movable member 217 may be provided with a similar snap-fit ​​portion. (Combined) Figure 9 The latching portions 2152 of the movable member 215 and the latching portions of the movable member 217 are arranged opposite to each other, and the distance between the two latching portions can change in response to the deformation of the elastic member 216.

[0156] For example, the snap-fit ​​portion 2152 may be formed by the main body 2151 of the movable member 215 protruding towards the movable member 217. In other words, the protrusion of the movable member 215 protruding from the main body 2151 can be regarded as the aforementioned snap-fit ​​portion 2152.

[0157] In some examples, reference Figure 10 In the front view on the right, the latching portion 2152 may include multiple contact surfaces that can face the movable member 217. When the inner fork plate 40 is connected to the belt body connector 21, the aforementioned contact surfaces of the movable member 215 and the contact surfaces of the movable member 217 can contact the components of the inner fork plate 40.

[0158] For example, the latching portion 2152 may include a contact surface 2155 and a contact surface 2156, which may contact the inner fork plate 40 sequentially during the assembly of the inner fork plate 40 and the belt body connector 21. Figure 10 For example, taking the thickness direction of movable part 215 ( Figure 10 With the direction 01 in the middle as a reference, the contact surface 2155 is approximately above the contact surface 2156.

[0159] The contact surfaces 2155 and 2156 can be planar or have a certain curvature; this application does not impose any restrictions on this. As an example, contact surface 2155 can be planar, and contact surface 2156 can be a smooth curved surface.

[0160] As a possible example, the angle between contact surface 2155 and direction 01 ( Figure 10 The median angle γ1 can be less than 90°. The angle between the tangent at any point on the contact surface 2156 and direction 01 ( Figure 10 The mid-angle γ2 can be greater than 90°. This tilt angle of the contact surfaces 2155 and 2156 facilitates the installation and removal of the inner fork plate 40 and the belt body connector 21.

[0161] For example, the snap-fit ​​portion 2152 may also include a contact surface 2157, which may be located between the contact surface 2155 and the contact surface 2156, or in other words, the contact surface 2157 may be used to connect the contact surface 2155 and the contact surface 2156.

[0162] As a possible example, the contact surface 2157 can be a smooth curved surface, with its side near the contact surface 2155 being smoothly connected to the contact surface 2155, and its side near the contact surface 2156 being smoothly connected to the contact surface 2156.

[0163] In some examples, the movable member 215 may also include a connecting post, which may be located on the side of the body 2151 opposite to the snap-fit ​​portion 2152. The elastic member 216 that abuts against the movable member 215 may be fitted onto the connecting post, thereby achieving relative fixation with the movable member 215.

[0164] For example, continue to refer to Figure 10 The movable part 215 may include a connecting post 2153 and a connecting post 2154. These two connecting posts may be located on one side of the main body 2151, and the snap-fit ​​part 2152 may be located on the opposite side of the main body 2151.

[0165] Combination Figure 9 and Figure 10 In some examples, when multiple elastic members abut against the movable member 215, the two sub-receiving grooves forming the receiving groove 2141 can accommodate two elastic members 216 on one hand, and connecting posts 2153 and 2154 on the other. It is understood that these sub-receiving grooves can, to some extent, guide the connecting posts 2153 and 2154, thus making the movement of the movable member 215 within the receiving groove 2141 more stable.

[0166] In some other examples, the elastic member 216 can also be fixed relative to the movable member 215 in other ways, and this application does not limit this. For example, the side of the main body 2151 of the movable member 215 away from the snap-fit ​​portion 2152 may have a receiving hole, and the elastic member 216 can be partially accommodated in the aforementioned receiving hole.

[0167] Figure 11 The diagram shows the assembled outer fork plate 30 and belt connector 21. Figure 11 As shown, the connecting plate 31 of the outer fork plate 30 can cover the top of the belt body connector 21. (Combined) Figure 8 , Figure 9 and Figure 11 The fastener 202 can pass through the through hole 312 (or through hole 313) and be inserted into the connecting hole 2131 (or connecting hole 2132). The internal thread of the connecting hole 2131 (or connecting hole 2132) and the external thread of the fastener 202 can engage with each other, thereby fixing the outer fork plate 30 and the belt body connector 21 relatively.

[0168] In some examples, reference Figure 8 The outer fork plate 30 may also include a through hole 311, which may be located between through holes 312 and 313. The through hole 311 may be used to realize the mutual connection between the inner fork plate 40 and the belt body connector 21.

[0169] In some examples, reference Figure 9The belt connector 21 may further include a receiving groove 218, which may be located between receiving grooves 2141 and 2142, and the engaging portions of movable members 215 and 217 may be located above the receiving groove 218. The receiving groove 218 can be used to realize the mutual connection between the inner fork plate 40 and the belt connector 21.

[0170] When the outer fork plate 30 and the belt body connector 21 are connected to each other, the through hole 311 of the outer fork plate 30 and the receiving groove 218 of the belt body connector 21 can communicate. During the assembly of the inner fork plate 40 and the belt body connector 21, the components of the inner fork plate 40 can be inserted into the receiving groove 218 through the through hole 311 and engaged with the movable parts 215 and 217. Thus, the inner fork plate 40 can be fixed relative to the belt body connector 21.

[0171] Figure 12 The diagram shown is a structural schematic of an inner fork plate 40 provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 12 As shown, the inner fork plate 40 may include a snap-fit ​​part 41. During the assembly of the inner fork plate 40 and the belt body connector 21, the snap-fit ​​part 41 can be inserted into the receiving groove 218 through the through hole 311 and snap-fit ​​with the movable part 215 and the movable part 217.

[0172] In some examples, a portion of the body 42 of the inner fork plate 40 may be along the thickness direction of the inner fork plate 40. Figure 12 The protrusion in the direction 01) forms a protrusion structure, which can be the above-mentioned snap-fit ​​part 41.

[0173] Figure 13 The structure of the snap-fit ​​part 41 and the mating relationship between the snap-fit ​​part 41 and the movable parts 215 and 217 are shown.

[0174] like Figure 13 As shown, the dimension of the snap-fit ​​portion 41 near the main body 42 can be smaller, and the dimension of the end away from the main body 42 can be larger. Alternatively, the maximum dimension of the cross-section of the snap-fit ​​portion 41 near the main body 42 can be M1, and the maximum dimension of the cross-section of the end away from the main body 42 can be M2, where M2 can be larger than M1. Here, the cross-section of the snap-fit ​​portion 41 can refer to a plane perpendicular to direction O1. For example, the aforementioned dimensions M1 and M2 can be the dimensions of the snap-fit ​​portion 41 in... Figure 13 The length along the central direction 02 (direction 02 is perpendicular to direction 01).

[0175] Continue to refer to Figure 13 In some examples, the snap-fit ​​portion 41 may include contact surfaces 411 and 413, which may contact the movable part 215 (and / or the movable part 217) respectively during the assembly of the inner fork plate 40 with the belt connector 21.

[0176] It should be noted that, Figure 13 The following description uses the contact surfaces 411 and 413 in contact with the movable part 215 as an example. The snap-fit ​​part 41 also includes a contact surface on the other side opposite to the contact surface 411 that contacts the movable part 217. Its shape and structure can be similar to those of the contact surfaces 411 and 413. The following description uses the contact surfaces 411 and 413 as examples.

[0177] Combination Figure 12 and Figure 13 The contact surface 411 can be close to the body 42 of the inner fork plate 40, while the contact surface 413 can be far away from the body 42 of the inner fork plate 40. In other words, the contact surface 411 is closer to the body 42 than the contact surface 413.

[0178] Contact surfaces 411 and 413 can be either planes or smooth curved surfaces; this application does not impose any limitations on this. As one possible example, Figure 13 In the middle, both contact surfaces 411 and 413 are planar.

[0179] For example, the angle between contact surface 411 and direction 01 can be greater than 90°, and the angle between contact surface 413 and direction 01 can be less than 90°. Thus, when the latching part 41 is pulled out from the gap between movable members 215 and 217 in the opposite direction of direction 01, the contact surfaces of movable member 215 (including contact surfaces 2156 and 2157) can slide out along the inclined direction of contact surface 411. During the insertion of the latching part 41 into the gap between movable members 215 and 217 along direction 01, the contact surfaces of movable member 215 (including contact surfaces 2155 and 2157) can slide in along the inclined direction of contact surface 413. The installation and removal of the inner fork plate 40 and the belt connector 21 are more convenient, and user operation efficiency is higher.

[0180] In some examples, the snap-fit ​​portion 41 may also include a contact surface 412, which may be located between contact surfaces 411 and 413, or in other words, the contact surface 412 is used to connect contact surfaces 411 and 413. The side of the contact surface 412 near the contact surface 411 may be smoothly connected to the contact surface 411, and the side of the contact surface 412 near the contact surface 413 may be smoothly connected to the contact surface 413.

[0181] As an example, the contact surface 412 can be a plane, for example, the contact surface 412 can be parallel to direction 01.

[0182] As an example, the contact surface 412 can be a smooth curved surface. For example, the contact surface 412 includes at least one point whose tangent is parallel to direction 01.

[0183] Continue to refer to Figure 12 The inner fork plate 40 may also include a connecting hole 401, which may be located at the end of the body 42 away from the snap-fit ​​portion 41. The connecting hole 401 may be used for a pin connection between the inner fork plate 40 and the outer fork plate 30.

[0184] Figure 14 A schematic diagram of the structure after the belt connector 21, outer fork plate 30, and inner fork plate 40 are assembled together is shown.

[0185] Combination Figures 11 to 14 The engaging portion 41 of the inner fork plate 40 is inserted into the receiving groove 218 of the belt body connector 21 through the through hole 311 on the outer fork plate 30, and is held in place by the movable parts 215 and 217. The main body 42 of the inner fork plate 40 can be located between the two connecting arms 32 of the outer fork plate 30. The shaft pin 24 of the connecting assembly 20 can pass through both the connecting hole 401 of the inner fork plate 40 and the connecting hole 321 of the outer fork plate 30. The belt body connector 21, the outer fork plate 30, and the inner fork plate 40 can be relatively fixed.

[0186] When the latching part 41 of the inner fork plate 40 is pulled out from the movable parts 215 and 217, the inner fork plate 40 and the outer fork plate 30 can be rotatably connected by the pivot pin 24. The end of the inner fork plate 40 that was originally assembled with the belt body connector 21 can rotate relative to the outer fork plate 30 around the pivot pin 24.

[0187] In some examples, please refer to Figure 12 The belt connecting ring 22 of the connecting assembly 20 can be fixedly connected to the inner fork plate 40, or the belt connecting ring 22 can be part of the inner fork plate 40.

[0188] For example, the belt connecting ring 22 can be located at one end of the inner fork plate 40 near the snap-fit ​​portion 41, when the inner fork plate 40 and the belt connecting member 21 are assembled together, such as Figure 14 As shown, the belt connecting ring 22 can be close to the belt connecting member 21.

[0189] The above describes the interconnection relationship between the inner fork plate 40, the outer fork plate 30, and the belt body connector 21. The following describes the connection relationship between the load-bearing member 50 and the inner fork plate 40.

[0190] The load-bearing member 50 can be fixed relative to the inner fork plate 40, so that the load-bearing member 50 can be fixed relative to the belt body connector 21.

[0191] In some examples, components such as slider 25 and carrier 50 can be housed within inner fork plate 40, or in other words, inner fork plate 40 can be provided with a receiving space for accommodating components such as slider 25 and carrier 50.

[0192] For example, such as Figure 15 As shown, the inner fork plate 40 may include a slot 421, which may be formed on the body 42 of the inner fork plate 40. The carrier member 50 may be generally plate-shaped and at least partially insertable into the aforementioned slot 421. Alternatively, the inner fork plate 40 may include a cover plate 43 and a bottom plate 44, which are spaced apart in direction O1, and the gap between them may form the aforementioned slot 421.

[0193] For example, the height h1 of slot 421 ( Figure 15 The dimension in the center direction 01 can be slightly larger than the thickness h2 of the portion of the support 50 housed in the slot 421. Figure 15 The dimensions on the center direction 01); the width w1 of slot 421 ( Figure 15 The dimension in the center direction 03 can be slightly larger than the width w2 of the portion of the support 50 housed in the slot 421. Figure 15 (Dimensions on the center direction 03).

[0194] Figure 16 A cross-sectional schematic diagram of the inner fork plate 40 is shown, and the structure of the slot 421 is specifically illustrated. (Reference) Figure 16 The depth L1 of slot 421 ( Figure 16 The dimension in the center direction 02 can be slightly larger than the length L2 of the portion of the support 50 housed in the slot 421. Figure 16 (Dimensions on the center direction 02).

[0195] In some examples, the carrier 50, etc., can be positioned within the slot 421 along... Figure 16 The activity is in the direction 02 or the opposite direction of direction 02.

[0196] For example, such as Figures 15 to 17 As shown, the support member 50 may include a pressing part 502 (first pressing part). When the user pushes the pressing part 502 in the opposite direction of direction 02, the support member 50 and the like may move in the opposite direction of direction 02. In other words, the support member 50 may move in the opposite direction of direction 02 relative to the inner fork plate 40.

[0197] For example, the connecting assembly 20 may further include an elastic element, one end of which may abut against the inner fork plate 40 and the other end of which may abut against the carrier member 50. When the user pushes the pressing part 502 in the opposite direction of direction O2, the deformation of the elastic element increases. When the user removes the force applied to the pressing part 502, the elastic element can restore its deformation and push the carrier member 50 to move relative to the inner fork plate 40 in direction O2.

[0198] For example, such as Figures 15 to 17As shown, the connecting assembly 20 may include an elastic member 2031 (first elastic member) and an elastic member 2032 (second elastic member). One end of the elastic member 2031 may abut against the stop portion 4221 (first stop portion) of the inner fork plate 40, and the other end may abut against the abutting portion 5011 (first abutting portion) of the carrier member 50. One end of the elastic member 2032 may abut against the stop portion 4222 (second stop portion) of the inner fork plate 40, and the other end may abut against the abutting portion 5012 (second abutting portion) of the carrier member 50.

[0199] As an example and not a limitation, elastic element 2031 and elastic element 2032 can be components, such as springs, that are capable of elastic deformation and can recover from deformation.

[0200] For example, a portion of the sidewall of the slot 421 of the inner fork plate 40 may protrude towards the center to form a protrusion, which may serve as the aforementioned stop portion 4221 and stop portion 4222. In other words, the aforementioned stop portion 4221 and stop portion 4222 may be located within the slot 421 of the inner fork plate 40.

[0201] For example, the abutting portion 5011 and abutting portion 5012 of the carrier 50 can be disposed on both sides of the carrier 50 along direction 03. The abutting portion 5011 can be disposed opposite to the stop portion 4221 of the inner fork plate 40 along direction 02. Similarly, the abutting portion 5012 can be disposed opposite to the stop portion 4222 of the inner fork plate 40 along direction 02.

[0202] refer to Figure 17 The elastic elements 2031 and 2032 can also be accommodated in the slot 421 of the inner fork plate 40, and the deformation direction of the elastic element 2031 and the deformation direction of the elastic element 2032 can both be along direction O2.

[0203] For example, one end of the elastic member 2031 can abut against the side of the stop portion 4221 facing the abutment portion 5011, and the other end of the elastic member 2031 can abut against the side of the abutment portion 5011 facing the stop portion 4221.

[0204] For example, one end of the elastic member 2032 can abut against the side of the stop portion 4222 facing the abutment portion 5012, and the other end of the elastic member 2032 can abut against the side of the abutment portion 5012 facing the stop portion 4222.

[0205] In some examples, when the elastic element 2031 is in the first state, the carrier 50 is in the initial position; when the elastic element 2031 is in the second state, relative to the aforementioned initial position, the carrier 50 moves in the opposite direction of direction O2 relative to the inner fork plate 40. The deformation of the elastic element 2031 in the first state is less than the deformation in the second state. And / or;

[0206] In some examples, when the elastic element 2032 is in the third state, the bearing element 50 is in the initial position; when the elastic element 2032 is in the fourth state, relative to the aforementioned initial position, the bearing element 50 moves in the opposite direction of direction O2 relative to the inner fork plate 40. The deformation of the elastic element 2032 in the third state is less than the deformation in the fourth state.

[0207] In some examples, the inner fork plate 40 may also include a guide groove 402 that communicates with a slot 421, through which a component housed in the slot 421 may protrude. The guide groove 402 may extend along... Figure 15 The guide groove 402 extends in direction 03 (or, in other words, the extension direction of the guide groove 402 may be parallel to direction 03). For example, the guide groove 402 may be formed on the cover plate 43 of the inner fork plate 40.

[0208] Further details about guide groove 402 will be provided later.

[0209] As mentioned earlier, the slider 25 and the carrier 50 can move relative to each other in the first direction (direction 03). The fastener 23 can be fixedly connected to the slider 25. When the carrier 50 and the belt connector 21 are relatively fixed, the fastener 23 can move relative to the belt connector 21 in the first direction. The shape and structure of the slider 25, fastener 23, carrier 50, and other components, as well as the connection relationship between these components, will be described below.

[0210] In some examples, the slider 25 and the snap fastener 23 can be connected in various ways, such as snap-fit, adhesive, riveting, threaded connection, etc., and this application does not limit this.

[0211] For example, such as Figures 18 to 20 As shown, the slider 25 may include a connecting hole 253, which can be used for the relative fixation of the slider 25 and the snap fastener 23. Accordingly, the end of the snap fastener 23 connected to the slider 25 may include a connecting portion 232, which can be used for the relative fixation between the snap fastener 23 and the slider 25.

[0212] For example, the connecting part 232 can be inserted into the connecting hole 253 to achieve relative fixation between the buckle 23 and the slider 25.

[0213] It is understood that the aforementioned connecting hole 253 can be a through hole or a blind hole, and this application does not impose any restrictions on this. Figure 19 Taking the connecting hole 253 as an example as a through hole.

[0214] In some examples, reference Figure 18The fastener 23 may include a main body 231, and a protrusion is formed on the end face of the main body 231 near the slider 25. This protrusion can serve as the aforementioned connecting part 232.

[0215] In order to facilitate the relative fixation of the buckle 23 with the buckle hole of the watch strap 13 (or watch strap 15), the cross-sectional dimension of the main body 231 of the buckle 23 can be larger than the cross-sectional dimension of the connecting part 232.

[0216] In some examples, the snap fastener 23 may also include a locking portion 233, which, along with the connecting portion 232, may be located at opposite ends of the main body 231. The cross-sectional dimension of the locking portion 233 may be larger than that of the main body 231. Alternatively, the edge portion of the locking portion 233 may extend beyond the edge of the main body 231. Thus, when the snap fastener 23 is inserted into the snap fastener hole, the locking portion 233 can pass through the snap fastener hole and perform a locking function, improving the firmness of the connection between the snap fastener 23 and the snap fastener hole.

[0217] Using the size of the snap fastener hole as a reference, the cross-sectional size of the main body 231 of the snap fastener 23 can be slightly smaller than the size of the snap fastener hole, and the cross-sectional size of the snap fastener 233 can be slightly larger than the size of the snap fastener hole.

[0218] It is understood that the cross-sections of the main body 231, connecting part 232, and snap-fit ​​part 233 of the aforementioned fastener 23 can be directed in the thickness direction of the fastener 23. Figure 18 The direction in the middle is 01) a plane perpendicular to the plane.

[0219] Continue to refer to Figures 18 to 20 In some examples, the slider 25 may also include a through hole 252, which can be used to enable the interconnection between the slider 25 and the carrier 50.

[0220] In some examples, the through hole 252 and the aforementioned connecting hole 253 can be arranged in parallel, or in other words, the axial direction of the through hole 252 and the axial direction of the connecting hole 253 can be parallel to each other.

[0221] For example, refer to Figure 18 The axial direction of the through hole 252 and the axial direction of the connecting hole 253 can both be parallel to direction 01.

[0222] It is understandable that the aforementioned through hole 252 and connecting hole 253 can be obtained by locally machining the main body 251 of the slider 25.

[0223] In some examples, combined Figure 7 and Figure 18 The connecting component 20 may include a connector 201, which can cooperate with the aforementioned through hole 252 to realize the mutual connection between the slider 25 and the carrier 50.

[0224] For example, the connector 201 can be inserted into the through hole 252 and partially protrude from the through hole 252; this protruding portion of the connector 201 can be referred to as the protrusion 2013. Figure 20 As shown, the protrusion 2013 can be located on the side of the slider 25 opposite to the snap fastener 23.

[0225] It is understood that the connector 201 may include a head 2011 and a columnar portion 2012, the columnar portion 2012 may be embedded in the through hole 252, and the aforementioned protrusion 2013 may be a part of the columnar portion 2012.

[0226] As an example rather than a limitation, such as Figure 18 and Figure 19 As shown, through hole 252 can be a countersunk hole. (Reference) Figure 20 When the connector 201 is assembled with the through hole 252, the head 2011 of the connector 201 can be accommodated in the countersunk hole.

[0227] For example, the connector 201 can be a fastener, such as a screw, rivet, or pin, and this application does not limit this.

[0228] In some examples, the connecting component 20 may include a locked state and an unlocked state. In the locked state, the slider 25 and the carrier 50 are capable of unidirectional relative movement (such as movement along a first direction); in the unlocked state, the slider 25 and the carrier 50 are capable of bidirectional relative movement (such as movement along the first direction and the opposite direction of the first direction).

[0229] Alternatively, when the connecting component 20 is assembled with the watch strap 13 and the watch strap 15, if the connecting component 20 is in the unlocked state, the circumference of the watch strap of the electronic device 10 can be lengthened or shortened, and the wearing state of the electronic device 10 can be adjusted to be loosened or tightened; if the connecting component 20 is in the locked state, the circumference of the watch strap of the electronic device 10 can be lengthened or shortened, and the wearing state of the electronic device 10 can be adjusted to be loosened or tightened.

[0230] For example, a cooperating mechanism can be formed between the slider 25 and the carrier 50, which can be used to switch the locking and unlocking states of the connecting component 20.

[0231] For example, such as Figure 19 As shown, the slider 25 may include teeth 254, and the carrier 50 may include a rack. When the teeth 254 are embedded in the rack, the slider 25 and the carrier 50 are locked, and the connecting component 20 is in a locked state. When the teeth 254 are separated from the rack, the slider 25 and the carrier 50 are unlocked, and the connecting component 20 is in an unlocked state.

[0232] In one possible example, combining Figure 18 and Figure 19 The tooth 254 can be located on the side wall 255 of the slider 25, or in other words, a portion of the side wall 255 of the main body 251 of the slider 25 can protrude to form a wedge-shaped protrusion structure, which can serve as the aforementioned tooth 254.

[0233] For example, tooth 254 may include contact surface 256 and contact surface 257, both of which are inclined or perpendicular to the side wall 255 of slider 25. The included angle formed between contact surface 256 and side wall 255 is angle α, and the value of angle α can be less than 90°. For example, angle α can be 15°, 30°, 45°, etc.

[0234] The included angle formed between the contact surface 257 and the side wall 255 can be angle β. The value of angle β can be less than or equal to 90°. For example, angle β can be 90°, 85°, 80°, 70°, etc.

[0235] In one possible example, the plane containing the sidewall 255 of the slider 25 can be parallel to the first direction mentioned above. The inclination angle between the contact surface 256 (or contact surface 257) and the sidewall 255 can also be understood as the angle between the contact surface 256 (or contact surface 257) and the first direction.

[0236] For example, a magnetic attraction device (such as a permanent magnet, an energized coil, etc.) can be provided on the side of the slider 25 near the support member 50. Correspondingly, the support member 50 can include another magnetic attraction device. When the two magnetic attraction devices are attracted to each other, the slider 25 and the support member 50 are locked, and the connecting assembly 20 is in a locked state; when the two magnetic attraction devices are separated (not attracted to each other), the slider 25 and the support member 50 are unlocked, and the connecting assembly 20 is in an unlocked state.

[0237] Figures 21 to 23 The diagram shows the assembly relationship between the slider 25 and the support member 50.

[0238] In some examples, the carrier 50 may include one or more guide grooves that can define the direction of movement (i.e. guide) of the slider 25 when the slider 25 moves relative to the carrier 50.

[0239] For example, refer to Figure 21 and Figure 22 The carrier 50 may include a guide groove 511 (first guide groove), the extension direction of which may be parallel to direction O3. The slider 25 may be at least partially accommodated in the guide groove 511, so that the movement direction of the slider 25 may be approximately parallel to direction O3. For example, the slider 25 may move along direction O3, or the slider 25 may move in the opposite direction of direction O3.

[0240] For example, refer to Figures 21 to 23 The carrier 50 may also include a guide groove 513 (second guide groove), the extension direction of which may be parallel to direction O3. The protrusion 2013 of the connector 201 may be at least partially accommodated in the guide groove 513. Thus, since the connector 201 is fixedly connected to the slider 25, the cooperation between the guide groove 513 and the protrusion 2013 can also make the movement direction of the slider 25 approximately parallel to direction O3.

[0241] Understandably, the connector 201 is partially located in the through hole 252 of the slider 25. When the slider 25 is installed in the guide groove 511, the aforementioned portion of the connector 201 is also located in the guide groove 511. The protruding portion 2013 of the connector 201 is also accommodated in the guide groove 513. That is, the connector 201 is partially located in the guide groove 511 and partially located in the guide groove 513, and the connector 201 connects the guide groove 511 and the guide groove 513.

[0242] In one possible example, refer to Figure 21 and Figure 22 The guide groove 511 may include a base plate 512, a side wall 514, and a side wall 515. The side wall 514 is connected to the pressing part 502 of the support member 50, and the side wall 515 is disposed opposite to the side wall 514. The slider 25 is installed between the base plate 512, the side wall 514, and the side wall 515, and the side of the slider 25 facing away from the fastener 23 can contact the base plate 512.

[0243] The sides of the sidewall 514 may protrude outward to form the abutment portion 5011 and abutment portion 5012 mentioned above. In other words, the abutment portion 5011 and abutment portion 5012 may be provided on both sides of the support member 50 along direction 03.

[0244] refer to Figure 22 In order to reduce the probability of collision during the relative movement between the slider 25 and the guide groove 511, so that the slider 25 and the carrier 50 can move smoothly relative to each other, the width d1 of the guide groove 511 can be greater than the width d2 of the slider 25.

[0245] Here, the width d1 of the guide groove 511 can be understood as its width in... Figure 22 The maximum dimension on the center direction 02, similarly, the width d2 of slider 25 can be understood as its maximum dimension on the center direction 02. Figure 22 The maximum dimension on the center direction 02.

[0246] Specifically, when the guide groove 511 includes a rack 516, the aforementioned width d1 can refer to the distance between the recessed portion of the rack 516 and the side wall 514 in direction O2. When the guide groove 511 does not include a rack 516, the aforementioned width d1 can refer to the distance between the two opposing surfaces of the side wall 514 and the side wall 515 in direction O2.

[0247] Similarly, when the slider 25 includes teeth 254, the aforementioned width d2 can refer to the distance in direction 02 between the end of the teeth 254 away from the body 251 and the other side of the slider 25 opposite to the teeth 254. When the slider 25 does not include teeth 254, the aforementioned width d2 can refer to the distance in direction 02 between the two surfaces of the slider 25 facing the side wall 514 and the side wall 515, respectively.

[0248] In some examples, the guide groove 513 can be formed on the base plate 512, and the guide groove 513 can be a hollow structure (e.g., Figure 22 and Figure 23 As shown, the guide groove 513 can also be a non-perforated structure. This application does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0249] It is understandable that opening the guide groove 513 on the base plate 512 will cause a certain degree of loss in the structural strength of the bearing component 50. Relatively speaking, the loss in structural strength of the bearing component 50 caused by the non-hollow structure guide groove 513 is smaller.

[0250] refer to Figure 23 In order to reduce the probability of collision during the relative movement between the protrusion 2013 and the guide groove 513, so that the slider 25 and the carrier 50 can move smoothly relative to each other, the width d3 of the guide groove 513 can be greater than the width d4 of the protrusion 2013.

[0251] Here, the width d3 of the guide groove 513 can be understood as its width in... Figure 22 The maximum dimension in the central direction 02, similarly, the width d4 of the protrusion 2013 can be understood as its maximum dimension in the central direction 02. Figure 22 The maximum dimension on the center direction 02.

[0252] For example, when the slider 25 includes a tooth 254, the dimension of the tooth 254 in direction 02 can be δ (reference). Figure 19 In this case, the difference between width d3 and width d4 can be greater than δ, that is, d3-d4>δ.

[0253] It is understandable that when the protrusion 2013 is cylindrical, its width d4 is the diameter of its cross-section.

[0254] Please continue to refer to this. Figure 21Since the guide groove 513 is set on the base plate 512 of the guide groove 511, the guide groove 511 and the guide groove 513 can also be understood as being along the thickness direction of the bearing member 50. Figure 21 In the direction 01) stacking settings.

[0255] As previously mentioned, a cooperating mechanism can be provided between the carrier 50 and the slider 25, which can switch the locking and unlocking states of the connecting component 20.

[0256] In some examples, reference Figure 19 and Figure 22 The sidewall of the slider 25 may be provided with teeth 254, and correspondingly, the sidewall 515 of the guide groove 511 may be provided with a rack 516. The rack 516 may include multiple teeth 517, which may be arranged along direction O3, with a notch formed between two adjacent teeth 517, into which the teeth 254 of the sidewall of the slider 25 may be embedded. The teeth 254 of the slider 25 and the rack 516 of the carrier 50 may form a set of mutually cooperating mechanisms.

[0257] For example, tooth 517 can be configured to correspond with tooth 254 so that tooth 254 can be inserted into the notch on rack 516, or in other words, so that tooth 254 can mesh with rack 516.

[0258] For example, such as Figure 22 As shown, tooth 517 may include contact surface 518 and contact surface 519, which can interact with... Figure 22 The direction in 03 is vertical or tilted.

[0259] Combination Figure 19 The contact surface 518 can be arranged parallel to the contact surface 256 of the tooth 254, and the contact surface 519 can be arranged parallel to the contact surface 257 of the tooth 254. Alternatively, the inclination angle between the contact surface 518 and direction 03 is angle θ1, which can be equal to angle α (the inclination angle between the contact surface 256 and direction 03); the inclination angle between the contact surface 519 and direction 03 is angle θ2, which can be equal to angle β (the inclination angle between the contact surface 257 and direction 03).

[0260] As an example rather than a limitation, angle θ1 can be less than 90°. For example, angle θ1 can be 15°, 30°, 45°, etc.

[0261] As an example rather than a limitation, angle θ2 can be less than or equal to 90°. For example, angle θ2 can be 90°, 85°, 80°, 70°, etc.

[0262] Figure 24 A schematic diagram is shown after components such as the carrier 50 and the fastener 23 are installed into the slot 421 of the inner fork plate 40.

[0263] As one possible implementation method, combined with Figure 15 and Figure 24 The support member 50 and the elastic members 2031 and 2032 can be inserted into the slot 421 in the opposite direction of direction 02.

[0264] As one possible implementation method, combined Figure 15 , Figure 24 and Figure 25 The slider 25, which is connected to the buckle 23, can be inserted into the guide groove 511 of the carrier 50 from the end of the guide groove 402 away from the belt connecting ring 22 in the direction 03.

[0265] As one possible implementation, refer to Figure 25 When the carrier 50, slider 25 and buckle 23 are assembled into the inner fork plate 40, in order to fix the aforementioned components in the slot 421 without them coming out, the connector 201 can be inserted into the through hole 252 of the slider 25, and the protrusion 2013 of the connector 201 can be inserted into the guide groove 513.

[0266] Figure 26 As shown Figure 25 A schematic diagram of section AA. (Combined with...) Figures 24 to 26 The slider 25 can be installed in the guide groove 511, and the connecting part 232 of the fastener 23 is inserted into the connecting hole 253 of the slider 25, so that the connecting part 232 is at least partially located in the guide groove 511. At the same time, the fastener 23 also passes through the guide groove 402 of the inner fork plate 40 and extends out of the guide groove 402. That is to say, the fastener 23 is partially located in the guide groove 511 and partially passes through the guide groove 402, and the fastener 23 connects the guide groove 511 and the guide groove 402.

[0267] As described earlier, connector 201 connects guide groove 511 and guide groove 513. Since connector 201 is fixedly connected to slider 25, and fastener 23 is also fixedly connected to slider 25, connector 201, fastener 23, and slider 25 connect guide groove 402, guide groove 511, and guide groove 513. These three guide grooves are stacked approximately along the thickness direction (direction 02) of the inner fork plate 40, and the extension direction of these three guide grooves is... Figure 24 The direction 03 is parallel to the direction. The cooperation of the aforementioned three guide grooves, connector 201, fastener 23 and slider 25 enables the slider 25 to move relatively stably relative to the support member 50 along a direction parallel to direction 03.

[0268] Figure 27 The illustration in Figure 27-1 To indicate Figure 27-4These are all schematic cross-sectional views of the connecting component 20, and these sections are perpendicular to the thickness direction of the connecting component 20 (direction 02 mentioned above). Among them, the schematic diagrams... Figure 27-1 To indicate Figure 27-3 The locked state of the connection component 20 is shown, indicating... Figure 27-4 The unlocked state of the connection component 20 is shown.

[0269] Comparison illustration Figure 27-4 With illustration Figure 27-1 (or indication) Figure 27-2 , indication Figure 27-3 ), in the illustration Figure 27-1 To indicate Figure 27-3 In the diagram, connecting component 20 is in a locked state, and the deformation of elastic elements 2031 and 2032 is relatively small. This can be understood as elastic element 2031 being in a first state and elastic element 2032 being in a third state. Figure 27-4 In the middle, the connecting component 20 is in the unlocked state, and the deformation of the elastic components 2031 and 2032 is larger. It can be understood that the elastic component 2031 is in the second state and the elastic component 2032 is in the fourth state.

[0270] In other words, when the elastic element 2031 is in the first state, the connecting component 20 is locked; when the elastic element 2031 is in the second state, the connecting component 20 is unlocked. And / or, when the elastic element 2032 is in the third state, the connecting component 20 is locked; when the elastic element 2032 is in the fourth state, the connecting component 20 is locked. Wherein, the deformation of the first elastic element 2031 in the first state is less than the deformation of the elastic element 2031 in the second state. The deformation of the elastic element 2032 in the third state is less than the deformation of the elastic element 2032 in the fourth state.

[0271] like Figure 27 The illustration in Figure 27-1 As shown, under the action of elastic elements 2031 and / or 2032, the bearing member 50 tends to move relative to the slider along direction O2, and the teeth 254 of the slider 25 are embedded in the notches between two adjacent teeth on the rack 516. In this case, combined with the above... Figure 22 The contact surface 256 of tooth 254 can contact the contact surface 518 of rack 516, and the contact surface 257 of tooth 254 can contact the contact surface 519 of rack 516. Since the tilt angle α of contact surface 256 and the tilt angle β of contact surface 257 are both no greater than 90°, the teeth on rack 516 are approximately tilted in direction 03, making it difficult for slider 25 to move in the opposite direction of direction 03.

[0272] Depending on the different installation methods of the connecting component 20 with the watch straps 13 and 15, when the slider 25 moves in the opposite direction of direction 03 and corresponds to the elongation of the watch strap circumference of the electronic device 10, the schematic diagram shows... Figure 27-1 In the state shown (locked state of connection component 20), the circumference of the watch strap of electronic device 10 cannot be extended; conversely, when the slider 25 moves in the opposite direction of direction 03, corresponding to the shortening of the circumference of the watch strap of electronic device 10, as illustrated... Figure 27-1 In the state shown (locked state of connection component 20), the circumference of the watch strap of electronic device 10 cannot be shortened.

[0273] like Figure 27 The illustration in Figure 27-2 As shown, when the slider 25 is subjected to a force F1 along direction O3 (for example, a user can pull the watch strap connected to the buckle 25 along direction O3), the slider 25 can move relative to the carrier 50 along direction O3. Accordingly, the circumference of the watch strap of the electronic device 10 can be lengthened or shortened.

[0274] It is understandable that, due to the thrust exerted on the bearing member 50 by the elastic element 2031 and / or the elastic element 2032 along direction 02, the contact surface 256 (and / or contact surface 257) of the tooth 254 can still contact the contact surface 518 (and / or 519) of the rack 516 during the movement of the slider 25 along direction 03.

[0275] like Figure 27 The illustration in Figure 27-3 As shown, when the user removes the aforementioned force F1, the elastic element 2031 and / or elastic element 2032 recover their deformation and push the carrier 50 to move relative to the slider 25 along direction O2. The teeth 254 of the slider 25 can re-engage with the rack 516 of the carrier 50.

[0276] like Figure 27 The illustration in Figure 27-4 As shown, when the user applies a force F2 in the opposite direction of direction O2 (for example, the user can push the pressing part 502 of the support member 50), the elastic member 2031 and / or the elastic member 2032 contract and the deformation increases, the support member 50 moves relative to the slider 25 in the opposite direction of direction O2, the tooth 254 of the slider 25 separates from the rack 516 of the support member 50, and the connecting assembly 20 is in the unlocked state.

[0277] In the unlocked state, the movement of slider 25 is not restricted by rack 516; that is, slider 25 can move in direction 03 or in the opposite direction. In other words, with the connecting component 20 unlocked, the circumference of the strap of electronic device 10 can be extended or shortened.

[0278] As mentioned earlier, the shape and structure of the outer fork plate 30 can be matched with the shape and structure of the inner fork plate 40 and the shape and structure of the load-bearing member 50. The following describes this part of the connecting assembly 20.

[0279] Please refer to the previous text. Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 8 In some examples, the inner fork plate 40 may include a pressing portion 45 (a second pressing portion), which may be located on the side of the inner fork plate 40 opposite to the opening of the slot 421. This pressing portion 45 may be disposed opposite to the pressing portion 502 of the carrier member 50. In the scenario where the user pushes 502, one of the user's fingers can rest on the pressing portion 502 and another finger can rest on the pressing portion 45, thereby making it easier to push the pressing portion 502 and facilitating the user's adjustment of the connecting assembly 20.

[0280] In some examples, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the pressing part 45 can partially extend beyond the second connecting arm 3202 of the outer fork plate 30 (the connecting arm 32 of the outer fork plate 30 near the pressing part 45) to facilitate user pressing. In this case, to control the thickness of the connecting assembly 20, please refer to... Figure 8 The second connecting arm 3202 may include a bent portion 322 (second bent portion), see reference. Figure 2 , Figure 3 The bent portion 322 can be arranged around the pressing portion 45, or in other words, the bent portion 322 can wrap around a portion of the pressing portion 45.

[0281] In some examples, such as Figure 12 As shown, the pressing part 45 may include a connecting part 451, the thickness of which is ( Figure 12 The dimension on the center direction 01 can be smaller than the thickness of other parts of the pressing part 45. Figure 12 (Dimensions on the center direction 01). As an example, the connecting part 451 can be located at one end of the pressing part 45 near the body 42 of the inner fork plate 40.

[0282] For example, refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 The connecting portion 451 can be stacked with the bent portion 322 of the outer fork plate 30 in the thickness direction of the inner fork plate 40, or the bent portion 322 can be arranged around the connecting portion 451. In this way, the thickness of the connecting assembly 20 at the overlapping position of the connecting portion 451 and the bent portion 322 can be smaller.

[0283] It is understandable that the connecting part 451 with a smaller thickness can be regarded as a groove 451 opened on the pressing part 45. The bending part 322 of the outer fork plate 30 can be partially or completely accommodated in the groove 451, thereby achieving a reduction in the thickness of the connecting assembly 20 at the overlapping position of the connecting part 451 and the bending part 322.

[0284] Please continue to refer to the previous text. Figure 2 , Figure 3 In some examples, the pressing portion 502 of the carrier 50 may extend beyond the first connecting arm 3201 of the outer fork plate 30 (the connecting arm 32 on the side of the outer fork plate 30 near the pressing portion 502) to facilitate user pressing. In this case, to control the thickness of the connecting assembly 20, please refer to... Figure 8 The first connecting arm 3201 may include a bent portion 323 (first bent portion), see reference. Figure 2 , Figure 3 The bent portion 323 can be arranged around the pressing portion 502, or in other words, the bent portion 323 can wrap around a portion of the pressing portion 502.

[0285] In some examples, such as Figure 21 As shown, the pressing part 502 may include a connecting part 503, the thickness of which is ( Figure 21 The dimension in the center direction 01 can be smaller than the thickness of other parts of the pressing part 502. Figure 21 (Dimensions on the center direction 01). As an example, the connecting part 503 may be located at one end of the pressing part 502 near the side wall 514 of the carrier 50.

[0286] For example, continue to refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 The connecting portion 503 can be stacked with the bent portion 323 of the outer fork plate 30 in the thickness direction of the inner fork plate 40, or the bent portion 323 can be arranged around the connecting portion 503. In this way, the thickness of the connecting assembly 20 at the overlapping position of the connecting portion 503 and the bent portion 323 can be smaller.

[0287] It is understandable that the connecting part 503 with a smaller thickness can be regarded as a groove 503 opened on the pressing part 502. The bending part 323 of the outer fork plate 30 can be partially or completely accommodated in the groove 503, thereby achieving a reduction in the thickness of the connecting component 20 at the overlapping position of the connecting part 503 and the bending part 323.

[0288] like Figure 28 The diagram shows another connecting component 60 provided in an embodiment of this application. The schematic diagram on the left is a perspective view of the connecting component 60, and the schematic diagram on the right is a view of a cross section of the connecting component 60 perpendicular to its thickness direction.

[0289] The structure of the connecting component 60 is basically similar to that of the connecting component 20 described above. The connecting component 60 can also be connected to the watch strap 13 and / or the watch strap 15.

[0290] For example, the connecting assembly 60 may also include a buckle, a slider, a carrier, and a strap connector. The strap connector may be fixedly connected to the carrier, the buckle may be fixedly connected to the slider, and the slider may be mounted in a guide groove of the carrier, the guide groove extending along a first direction.

[0291] The connecting component 60 can be configured such that, in response to the distance the carrier moves relative to the slider along the second direction being greater than or equal to a distance threshold, the slider and the carrier switch from a locked state to an unlocked state, or the slider and the carrier switch from an unlocked state to a locked state; wherein the first direction is different from the second direction.

[0292] For example, the first direction can be the length direction of the connecting component 60 (such as direction 03 mentioned above), and the second direction can be the width direction of the connecting component 60 (such as direction 02 mentioned above).

[0293] For more details about the buckle, slider, and carrier of the connecting component 60, please refer to the description of the connecting component 20 above.

[0294] Unlike the connecting component 20, in combination with the aforementioned Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 28 , Figure 29 In the connecting assembly 20, the pressing part 502 of the bearing member 50 can extend outward to the connecting arm 3201 of the outer fork plate 30; in the connecting assembly 60, the pressing part 611 of the bearing member 610 does not extend outward to the connecting arm 621 of the outer fork plate 620.

[0295] Unlike the connecting component 20, in combination with the aforementioned Figure 12 and Figure 28 , Figure 29 In the connecting assembly 20, the inner fork plate 40 may include a pressing part 45; in the connecting assembly 60, the inner fork plate 630 does not include a similar pressing part.

[0296] Figure 29 A schematic diagram of the structure of the outer fork plate 620 of the connecting assembly 60 is shown, wherein the schematic diagram on the left is the front view of the outer fork plate 620 and the schematic diagram on the right is the side view of the outer fork plate 620.

[0297] Unlike the connecting component 20, compared to the previous text... Figure 8 and Figure 29The outer fork plate 30 of the connecting assembly 20 may include a bend 322 and / or a bend 323; in the connecting assembly 60, the outer fork plate 620 does not include a structure similar to the bend 322 (or bend 323).

[0298] In the connecting assembly 60, the connecting arm 621 of the outer fork plate 620 near the pressing part 611 of the bearing member 610 may have a notch 622 for connection. Figure 28 and Figure 29 When the carrier 610, outer fork plate 620, and inner fork plate 630 are assembled together, the pressing portion 611 of the carrier 610 is at least partially accommodated in the notch 622 of the outer fork plate 620. In the connecting assembly 20, the outer fork plate 30 does not include a structure similar to the notch 622.

[0299] Unlike the connecting component 20, compared to the previous text... Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 28 For the connecting component 20, the user can directly switch between the locked and unlocked states of the connecting component 20 by pressing the pressing part 502 of the carrier 50; for the connecting component 60, the user can first separate the inner fork plate 630 from the belt body connector 640 (or open the inner fork plate 630), and then push the pressing part 611 to switch between the locked and unlocked states of the connecting component 60.

[0300] Comparatively, the connecting component 60 contains fewer parts, resulting in higher assembly and manufacturing efficiency and easier maintenance. It is suitable for scenarios where the strap circumference of the electronic device 10 is not frequently adjusted. The pressing part of the connecting component 20 extends outwards with a connecting arm, allowing the user to adjust the strap circumference of the electronic device 10 without separating the inner and outer forks, making it suitable for scenarios with relatively higher adjustment frequencies.

[0301] Figure 30 The diagram shows another type of connecting component 70 provided in this application embodiment. The schematic diagram on the left is a perspective view of the connecting component 70, and the schematic diagram on the right is a view of the cross section of the connecting component 70 perpendicular to its thickness direction.

[0302] The shape and structure of the connecting component 70 are basically the same as those of the connecting component 60.

[0303] For example, the connecting assembly 70 may also include a buckle, a slider 750, a carrier 710, and a belt connector 740. The belt connector 740 may be fixedly connected to the carrier 710, the buckle may be fixedly connected to the slider 750, and the slider 750 may be mounted in a guide groove of the carrier 710, which may extend along a first direction.

[0304] The connection component 70 can be configured such that, in response to the carrier 710 moving a distance greater than or equal to a distance threshold relative to the slider 750 along the second direction, the slider 750 and the carrier 710 switch from a locked state to an unlocked state, or the slider 750 and the carrier 710 switch from an unlocked state to a locked state; wherein the first direction is different from the second direction.

[0305] For example, the first direction can be the length direction of the connecting component 70 (such as direction 03 mentioned above), and the second direction can be the width direction of the connecting component 70 (such as direction 02 mentioned above).

[0306] In addition, the connecting assembly 70 may also include components such as an outer fork plate 720 and an inner fork plate 730. For more details on the shape, structure, etc. of the connecting assembly 70, please refer to the introductions of connecting assemblies 20 and 60 above.

[0307] Unlike the connection component 60, in comparison Figure 28 and Figure 30 The pressing part 611 in the connecting component 60 is shorter in length, while the pressing part 711 in the connecting component 70 is longer in length.

[0308] Figure 31 A structural schematic diagram of the outer fork plate 720 of the connecting assembly 70 is shown, wherein the schematic diagram on the left is the front view of the outer fork plate 720 and the schematic diagram on the right is the side view of the outer fork plate 720.

[0309] Accordingly, comparison Figure 29 and Figure 31 The notch on the outer fork plate 620 in the connecting assembly 60 is shallower, while the notch on the outer fork plate 720 in the connecting assembly 70 is deeper.

[0310] like Figure 32 This is another type of connecting component 80 provided in the embodiments of this application, wherein the schematic diagram on the left is a perspective view of the connecting component 80, and the schematic diagram on the right is a view of the cross section of the connecting component 80 perpendicular to its thickness direction.

[0311] The shape and structure of the connecting component 80 are similar to those of the connecting component 20 described above.

[0312] For example, the connecting assembly 80 may also include a buckle, a slider 850, a carrier 810, and a belt connector 840. The belt connector 840 may be fixedly connected to the carrier 810, the buckle may be fixedly connected to the slider 850, and the slider 850 may be mounted in a guide groove of the carrier 810, which may extend along a first direction.

[0313] The connecting component 80 can be configured such that, in response to the carrier 810 moving a distance greater than or equal to a distance threshold relative to the slider 850 along the second direction, the slider 850 and the carrier 810 switch from a locked state to an unlocked state, or the slider 850 and the carrier 810 switch from an unlocked state to a locked state; wherein the first direction is different from the second direction.

[0314] For example, the first direction can be the length direction of the connecting component 80 (such as direction 03 mentioned above), and the second direction can be the width direction of the connecting component 80 (such as direction 02 mentioned above).

[0315] In addition, the connecting assembly 80 may also include components such as an outer fork plate 820 and an inner fork plate 830. For more details regarding the shape and structure of the connecting assembly 80, please refer to the description of the connecting assembly 20 above.

[0316] Similar to the connecting component 20, it is combined with the above-mentioned Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 32 , Figure 33 In the connecting assembly 20, the pressing part 502 of the carrier 50 can extend outward to the connecting arm 3201 of the outer fork plate 30; similarly, in the connecting assembly 80, the pressing part 811 of the carrier 810 can extend outward to the connecting arm 821 of the outer fork plate 820.

[0317] Unlike the connecting component 20, in combination with the aforementioned Figure 12 and Figure 32 , Figure 33 In the connecting assembly 20, the inner fork plate 40 may include a pressing part 45; in the connecting assembly 80, the inner fork plate 830 does not include a similar pressing part.

[0318] Figure 33 A structural schematic diagram of the outer fork plate 820 is shown. The schematic diagram on the left is the front view of the outer fork plate 820, and the schematic diagram on the right is the side view of the outer fork plate 820.

[0319] Similar to the connecting component 20, compared to the previous text... Figure 8 and Figure 33 The outer fork plate 30 of the connecting assembly 20 may include a bent portion 323, which corresponds to the protrusion 502 of the carrier member 50; similarly, in the connecting assembly 80, the outer fork plate 820 may include a bent portion 822, combined with Figure 32 and Figure 33 The bent portion 822 corresponds to the protrusion 811 of the support member 810.

[0320] Unlike the connecting component 20, compared to the previous text... Figure 8 and Figure 33The outer fork plate 30 of the connecting assembly 20 may include a bend 322, which corresponds to the protrusion 45 of the inner fork plate 40; in the connecting assembly 80, the outer fork plate 820 does not include a structure similar to the aforementioned bend 322.

[0321] Unlike the connecting component 20, compared to the previous text... Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 32 For the connecting component 20, the user can use two fingers to press the pressing part 45 and the pressing part 502 respectively to switch the locking and unlocking states of the connecting component 20; for the connecting component 80, the user can press the pressing part 811 to switch the locking and unlocking states of the connecting component 80.

[0322] Comparatively, the inner fork plate 820 in the connecting assembly 80 has a simpler structure, resulting in higher assembly and production efficiency and easier maintenance. The connecting assembly 20 includes two opposing pressing parts, which can be pressed simultaneously by the user, facilitating operation and increasing the efficiency of adjusting the strap circumference of the electronic device 10.

[0323] Based on the connection components provided in the above embodiments, this application also provides a watch strap assembly, which includes: any of the connection components provided in the above embodiments, a first watch strap, and a second watch strap. The watch strap assembly can be connected to the first watch strap and / or the second watch strap respectively.

[0324] For example, the aforementioned connecting component can be any one of the connecting component 20, connecting component 60, connecting component 70 or connecting component 80 mentioned above.

[0325] For example, the first strap can be connected to the strap body connector of the connecting component, and the second strap can be connected to the buckle of the connecting component.

[0326] For example, if the connecting component includes a strap body connecting loop, the second strap can also pass through the strap body connecting loop.

[0327] In some examples, the watchband assembly may also include an airbag. Exemplarily, the airbag may be connected to either a first watchband or a second watchband.

[0328] This application also provides a wearable device, which includes a watch body and the aforementioned watch strap assembly, the watch strap assembly being connected to the watch body.

[0329] In some examples, the watch body may include a processor, an air pump, and a solenoid valve, the processor being used to control the air pump and / or the solenoid valve to inflate or deflate the air bladder of the watch band assembly.

[0330] It is understood that, since the above-mentioned watch strap assembly and wearable device include the connection components provided in the embodiments of this application, the length of the watch strap assembly and the tightness of the wearable device can be adjusted relatively easily.

[0331] It should be noted that the above embodiments use the application of the connecting component to the watch strap as an example for illustration. It can be understood that the connecting component can also be applied to other straps, and this application embodiment does not limit this.

[0332] For example, the connecting component can be used to connect the two straps of a head-mounted virtual reality device and to adjust the length of these two straps. Alternatively, the connecting component can be used to adjust the tightness of the head-mounted virtual reality device.

[0333] For example, a first electronic device and a second electronic device can be connected via a first tape and a second tape, which are connected by the aforementioned connecting component. In this application scenario, the connecting component can adjust the length of the first and second tapes, or in other words, the connecting component can be used to adjust the length of the tapes connecting the two electronic devices.

[0334] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this application, but the scope of protection of this application is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, the scope of protection of this application should be determined by the scope of the claims.
