Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of wearable device technology, specifically to a wearable device. Background Technology

[0002] Wearable devices such as smart rings, worn on the fingers, have gained widespread use due to their health monitoring and gesture control functions. A smart ring consists of a ring body and functional modules mounted on it. When worn, the ring body is slipped onto the user's finger, and the functional modules enable health monitoring and other functions. However, once worn, the ring body fits snugly against the finger, making removal difficult. Utility Model Content

[0003] This application provides a wearable device that can be easily disassembled.

[0004] This application provides a wearable device, including an elastic ring and a connector. The elastic ring has a notch that extends through it along a direction parallel to the center line of the elastic ring, so that the elastic ring has a first end and a second end that are opposite each other in the circumferential direction. One end of the connector is detachably connected to the first end, and the other end of the connector is detachably connected to the second end.

[0005] The wearable device provided in this application has a connector that is detachably connected to the first end and the second end. When disassembling, the connector can be separated from the first end and the second end first. Then, the notch is enlarged along the circumferential direction of the elastic ring, thereby increasing the wearing space and making it easier to separate the elastic ring from the user's finger, making disassembly easier.

[0006] In some embodiments that may include the above-described examples, the elastic ring has a certain degree of elasticity. When the connector is not installed, the notch can have a large width along the circumferential direction of the elastic ring to obtain a larger wearing space, making it easier for fingers to insert. After the connector is connected to the first end and the second end, the connector can be pulled closer to the first end and the second end, causing the width of the notch along the circumferential direction of the elastic ring to decrease, thereby reducing the wearing space and ensuring that the elastic ring can make close contact with the user's fingers when worn, preventing it from falling off. After the connector is removed, the elastic ring, under its own elasticity, causes the width of the notch along the circumferential direction of the elastic ring to increase, thereby increasing the wearing space and making it easier to remove the user's fingers from the wearing space, facilitating disassembly.

[0007] In other embodiments, without the connector, the notch can have a smaller width along the circumferential direction of the elastic ring. Correspondingly, during wear, as the user's fingers gradually extend into the wearing space, the width of the notch along the circumferential direction of the elastic ring gradually increases. Then, the connector is connected, with the connector abutting against the first and second ends in a direction away from each other to maintain a constant width of the notch along the circumferential direction of the elastic ring. This avoids excessive pressure on the user's fingers during wear, improving wearing comfort. During disassembly, the connector is separated from the elastic ring, and the user can then use external force to drive the first and second ends away from each other to easily remove the elastic ring from the fingers, facilitating disassembly.

[0008] In some embodiments that may include the above examples, there are multiple connectors, which are replaceably disposed within the notch. Different connectors have different widths along the circumferential direction of the elastic ring, so that when different connectors are installed within the notch, the width of the notch along the circumferential direction of the elastic ring is different. Any connector can be selected to be installed within the notch, so that the notch has different widths along the circumferential direction of the elastic ring, thereby allowing the wearing space to have different dimensions (e.g., the cross-sectional area of ​​the wearing space perpendicular to the center line of the elastic ring), thus making it suitable for users with different finger sizes and improving versatility. Additionally, by installing different connectors, the wearable device can be worn on different fingers of the user, improving the user experience. It is understood that the wearable device may include multiple connectors for the user to choose from.

[0009] In some embodiments that may include the above-described embodiments, the connector is provided with a first hook portion and a second hook portion, a first mating portion is provided at the first end, and a second mating portion is provided at the second end. The first hook portion hooks onto the first mating portion, and the second hook portion hooks onto the second mating portion. This configuration results in a simple structure and convenient installation and disassembly.

[0010] In some embodiments that may include the above-described embodiments, the connector includes an inner surface facing the center line of the elastic ring and an outer surface opposite to the inner surface; both the first hook portion and the second hook portion are disposed on the inner surface; that is, both the first hook portion and the second hook portion protrude from the connector toward the center line of the elastic ring. With this configuration, during installation, the first hook portion can be hooked onto the first mating portion first, and then the connector can be rotated to cover the notch, and then the second hook portion can be hooked onto the second mating portion to achieve installation; during disassembly, the first hook portion is separated from the first mating portion, and then the connector can be rotated to separate the second hook portion from the second mating portion, and the connector can be removed from the elastic ring, facilitating the installation and disassembly of the connector.

[0011] In other embodiments, the first hook portion is disposed on the outer surface, and the second hook portion is disposed on the inner surface; that is, the second hook portion protrudes from the connector toward the centerline of the elastic ring, and the first hook portion protrudes squarely from the connector away from the centerline of the elastic ring. With this configuration, during installation, the first hook portion can be hooked onto the first mating portion first, then the elastic ring can be placed on the user's finger, and the connector can be rotated to cover the notch, thus hooking the second hook portion onto the second mating portion. During disassembly, the second hook portion and the second mating portion can be separated first, and then the connector can be rotated to separate the first hook portion and the first mating portion. Alternatively, the elastic ring can be removed from the finger, and then the first hook portion and the first mating portion can be separated.

[0012] In other embodiments, both the first hook portion and the second hook portion are disposed on the outer surface. The first hook portion and the second hook portion protrude from the connector in a direction away from the center line of the elastic ring. When wearing, the elastic ring can be first slipped over the user's finger, then the connector can be placed between the notch and the user's finger, and the first hook portion and the first mating portion, as well as the second hook portion and the second mating portion, can be connected in sequence to complete the wearing process. When disassembling, the first hook portion can be separated from the first mating portion first, then the elastic ring can be removed from the user's finger, and the second hook portion and the second mating portion can be separated.

[0013] With the above-mentioned design, after wearing, the connector adheres to the user's finger, preventing the user's hand from pushing against the connector during use. This also prevents the first hook from separating from the first mating part and the second hook from the second mating part, thus preventing the wearable device from falling off.

[0014] In some embodiments that may include the above-described examples, a decorative element is provided on the connector, and the decorative element is located on the surface of the connector opposite to the center line of the elastic ring. This arrangement enhances the decorative effect of the wearable device, thereby improving the user experience.

[0015] In some embodiments that may include the above-described embodiments, a first mounting groove is provided on the first end, and a second mounting groove is provided on the second end. The first open end of the first mounting groove and the second open end of the second mounting groove are both located on the surface of the elastic ring facing its centerline. A first slider is provided at one end of the connector, and a second slider is provided at the other end of the connector. The first slider slides within the first mounting groove, and the second slider slides within the second mounting groove. This configuration allows for connection between the connector and the first and second ends by sliding the first slider within the first mounting groove and the second slider within the second mounting groove. The structure is simple, and the installation and disassembly of the connector and the elastic ring are convenient.

[0016] In some embodiments that may include the above-described embodiments, a first mounting opening is provided on the groove wall near the notch of the first mounting groove, penetrating the first mounting groove; a second mounting opening is provided on the groove wall near the notch of the second mounting groove, penetrating the second mounting groove; a first connecting portion is provided between the first slider and the connector, the first connecting portion being connected to both the first slider and the connector, and the first connecting portion slidingly disposed within the first mounting opening; a second connecting portion is provided between the second slider and the connector, the second connecting portion being connected to both the second slider and the connector, and the second connecting portion slidingly disposed within the second mounting opening. This configuration, with the first connecting portion passing through the first mounting opening and the second connecting portion passing through the second mounting opening, reduces the space occupied by the first connector and the second connecting portion, improves structural compactness, and facilitates the miniaturization of wearable devices.

[0017] In some embodiments that may include the above-described embodiments, the distance between the first closed end of the first mounting groove and the second closed end of the second mounting groove is less than the distance between the first open end and the second open end; the connector is used to bring the first end and the second end closer together. That is, the depth of the first mounting groove and the second mounting groove is inclined relative to the inner wall of the elastic ring; after the connector is installed, under the elastic force of the elastic ring, the first slider moves toward the first closed end and abuts against the first closed end to prevent the first slider from moving toward the first open end; at the same time, the second slider moves toward the second closed end and abuts against the second closed end to prevent the second slider from moving toward the second open end, thereby preventing the connector from falling off the elastic ring.

[0018] In some embodiments that may include the above-described embodiments, the first end has a first sidewall facing the second end, and the second end has a second sidewall facing the first end. The distance between the outer edges of the first and second sidewalls away from the center line of the elastic ring is less than the distance between the inner edges of the first and second sidewalls near the center line of the elastic ring. The connector fits against the first and second sidewalls. With this configuration, the width of the notch along the circumferential direction of the elastic ring gradually decreases in the direction away from the center line of the elastic ring. After wearing, if the user's finger presses against the connector in the direction away from the center line of the elastic ring, the connector can be prevented from falling off.

[0019] In some embodiments that may include the above embodiments, the wearable device further includes a first abutment block, a second abutment block, and an elastic element. A telescopic hole is provided on the first end, and the center line of the telescopic hole is parallel to the center line of the elastic ring. The first abutment block and the second abutment block are both disposed in the telescopic hole. The elastic element is connected to both the first abutment block and the second abutment block. The elastic element is used to allow the first abutment block to extend out from one end of the telescopic hole and the second abutment block to extend out from the other end of the telescopic hole. A connecting groove is provided on one end of the connecting member. The connecting groove has a first groove wall and a second groove wall facing opposite each other. The first groove wall is disposed facing one end of the telescopic hole, and the second groove wall is disposed facing the other end of the telescopic hole. A first limiting groove is provided on the first groove wall, and a second limiting groove is provided on the second groove wall. The first abutment block is engaged in the first limiting groove, and the second abutment block is engaged in the second limiting groove.

[0020] With this configuration, the elastic element abuts against the first abutting block and the second abutting block, which can maintain the engagement between the first abutting block and the first limiting groove and between the second abutting block and the second limiting groove, thereby preventing the connecting piece from detaching from the first end.

[0021] In some embodiments that may include the above embodiments, a first guide portion is provided on the first side wall and a second guide portion is provided on the second side wall. The first guide portion is used to guide the first abutting block into the first limiting groove, and the second guide portion is used to guide the second abutting block into the second limiting groove.

[0022] With this configuration, during installation, the first guide part guides the first abutment block, and the second guide part guides the second abutment block. Simply cover the notch with the connector and press the connector to make the first abutment block lock into the first limiting groove, and the second abutment block lock into the second limiting groove, which facilitates the installation of the connector.

Detailed Implementation

[0056] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments.

[0057] In the embodiments of this application, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the term "connection" should be interpreted broadly. For example, "connection" can be a fixed connection, an electrical connection, a coupling connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium.

[0058] This application provides a wearable device, which is a smart ring worn on a user's finger or a smart bracelet worn on a user's wrist. This application does not limit the scope of the wearable device, but will use a smart ring as an example for description.

[0059] Please refer to Figure 1 The wearable device includes an elastic ring 10. The material of the elastic ring 10 can include metals such as stainless steel, copper, and aluminum. Of course, the spring ring can also include non-metallic materials such as plastic and rubber. This application embodiment does not limit this, as long as the elastic ring 10 has a certain degree of elasticity. The elastic ring 10 forms a wearing space 103. When worn, the elastic ring 10 is fitted onto the user's finger, that is, the user's finger is inserted into the wearing space 103. The cross-section of the wearing space 103 perpendicular to the center line of the elastic ring 10 (the dotted line in the figure) can be approximately circular, so that the elastic ring 10 can contact the user's finger after wearing, ensuring a secure fit.

[0060] In some embodiments, the wearable device further includes a battery, a motherboard, and a detection module. The battery, motherboard, and detection module are all mounted on the elastic ring 10. The motherboard is electrically connected to both the battery and the detection module. The detection module can be used to detect the user's physiological parameters. For example, the detection module may include a photoelectric sensor, a body temperature sensor, etc., to detect physiological parameters such as the user's heart rate, blood oxygen, and body temperature. Alternatively, the detection module may include an accelerometer, etc., to detect data such as the user's gestures, thereby enabling gesture control.

[0061] In the above implementation, the wearable device may further include a buffer layer 102, which is attached to the inner wall of the elastic ring 10. The buffer layer 102 comes into contact with the user's fingers and may have a certain degree of elasticity to improve wearing comfort. For example, the material of the buffer layer 102 may include foam, silicone, or other materials with a certain degree of elasticity. Correspondingly, a detection window may be provided on the buffer layer 102, and the detection module may be positioned facing the detection window, meaning the detection module can collect data such as the user's physiological parameters through the detection window.

[0062] In this embodiment of the application, the elastic ring 10 is provided with a notch 101. The notch 101 penetrates the elastic ring 10 in a direction parallel to the center line of the elastic ring 10. At the same time, the notch 101 also penetrates the elastic ring 10 in a direction perpendicular to the center line of the elastic ring 10, so that the notch 101 can cut off the elastic ring 10. The notch 101 makes the elastic ring 10 have a first end 110 and a second end 120 opposite to each other in the circumferential direction. That is, the first end 110 and the second end 120 form the notch 101.

[0063] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In the above implementation, the wearable device also includes a connector 20, which is disposed in the notch 101. One end of the connector 20 is detachably connected to the first end 110, and the other end of the connector 20 is detachably connected to the second end 120. The distance between the first end 110 and the second end 120 can be limited by the connector 20, that is, the width of the notch 101 in the circumferential direction of the elastic ring 10 is limited.

[0064] The wearable device provided in this application embodiment allows the user's finger to be inserted into the wearing space 103 during wear. Then, the connector 20 is placed in the notch 101, with the first end 110 connected to one end of the connector 20 and the second end 120 connected to the other end of the connector 20, thus completing the wearing process. During disassembly, the connector 20 is first separated from the first end 110 and the second end 120, and then the elastic ring 10 is removed from the user's finger.

[0065] The wearable device provided in this application embodiment has an elastic ring 10 with a notch 101. The notch 101 allows the elastic ring 10 to have a first end 110 and a second end 120 that are opposite each other in the circumferential direction. The connector 20 is detachably connected to the first end 110 and the second end 120. When disassembling, the connector 20 can be separated from the first end 110 and the second end 120 firstly. Then, the notch 101 increases in the circumferential direction of the elastic ring 10, thereby increasing the wearing space 103, so as to facilitate the separation of the elastic ring 10 from the user's finger, making disassembly easier.

[0066] In some implementations, the elastic ring 10 has a certain degree of elasticity. When the connector 20 is not installed, the notch 101 can have a larger width along the circumferential direction of the elastic ring 10 to obtain a larger wearing space 103, making it easier for fingers to insert. After the connector 20 is connected to the first end 110 and the second end 120, the connector 20 can be pulled closer to the first end 110 and the second end 120, causing the width of the notch 101 along the circumferential direction of the elastic ring 10 to decrease, thereby reducing the wearing space 103 and ensuring that the elastic ring 10 can make close contact with the user's fingers when worn, so as to prevent it from falling off. After the connector 20 is removed, the elastic ring 10, under its own elasticity, causes the width of the notch 101 along the circumferential direction of the elastic ring 10 to increase the wearing space 103, making it easier to remove the user's fingers from the wearing space 103 and facilitating disassembly.

[0067] In other implementations, without the connector 20 installed, the notch 101 can have a smaller width along the circumferential direction of the elastic ring 10. Correspondingly, during wear, as the user's fingers gradually extend into the wearing space 103, the width of the notch 101 along the circumferential direction of the elastic ring 10 gradually increases. Then, the connector 20 is connected, and the connector 20 abuts against the first end 110 and the second end 120 in a direction away from each other to maintain the width of the notch 101 along the circumferential direction of the elastic ring 10 unchanged. This avoids excessive pressure on the user's fingers during wear, improving wearing comfort. During disassembly, the connector 20 is separated from the elastic ring 10. The user can then use external force to drive the first end 110 and the second end 120 away from each other, facilitating the removal of the elastic ring 10 from the fingers and simplifying disassembly.

[0068] Continue to refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2In this application embodiment, the detachable connection between the connector 20 and the first end 110 and the second end 120 is not limited. In some embodiments, the connector 20 is provided with a first hook portion 203 and a second hook portion 204, the first end 110 is provided with a first mating portion 111, and the second end 120 is provided with a second mating portion 121. The first hook portion 203 hooks onto the first mating portion 111, and the second hook portion 204 hooks onto the second mating portion 121. This configuration results in a simple structure and convenient installation and disassembly.

[0069] For example, the first hook holding part 203 includes a first hook body disposed at one end of the connector 20, and the second hook holding part 204 includes a second hook body disposed at the other end of the connector 20. Correspondingly, the first mating part 111 may include a first ring body disposed on the first end 110, and the second mating part 121 includes a second ring body disposed on the second end 120. The first hook body hooks onto the first ring body, and the second hook body hooks onto the second ring body, so as to realize a detachable connection between the connector 20 and the first end 110 and the second end 120.

[0070] In other examples, the first mating part 111 may also include a first groove provided on the first end 110, and the second mating part 121 may include a second groove provided on the second end 120. The first hook body hooks onto the first groove, and the second hook body hooks onto the second groove, which can also realize a detachable connection between the connector 20 and the first end 110 and the second end 120.

[0071] In the above example, when the connector 20 is not installed, the notch 101 can have a large width along the circumferential direction of the elastic ring 10. The connector 20 allows the first end 110 and the second end 120 to move closer to each other, thereby reducing the width of the notch 101 in the circumferential direction of the elastic ring 10. Under the elastic force of the elastic ring 10, the connection between the first hook 203 and the first mating part 111, and between the second hook 204 and the second mating part 121, can be maintained after wearing, preventing it from falling off.

[0072] In the above implementation, the first hook portion 203 and the second hook portion 204 can be integrally formed with the connector 20. That is, the connector 20, the first hook portion 203, and the second hook portion 204 can be formed by casting, injection molding, stamping, or other methods, which can reduce the difficulty of manufacturing and assembling the wearable device. Of course, the first hook portion 203 and the second hook portion 204 can also be connected to the connector 20 by welding, bolting, or snap-fitting, etc., and this application embodiment does not limit this.

[0073] Continue to refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2The connector 20 may also include an inner surface 202 facing the center line of the elastic ring 10 and an outer surface 201 opposite to the inner surface 202. After wearing, the inner surface 202 faces the user's finger and the outer surface 201 faces away from the user's finger.

[0074] In some implementations, the first hook portion 203 and the second hook portion 204 can both be disposed on the inner surface 202, that is, the first hook portion 203 and the second hook portion 204 both protrude from the connector 20 toward the centerline of the elastic ring 10. With this configuration, during installation, the first hook portion 203 can be hooked onto the first mating portion 111 first, and then the connector 20 can be rotated so that the connector 20 covers the notch 101, and then the second hook portion 204 can be hooked onto the second mating portion 121 to achieve installation; during disassembly, the first hook portion 203 is separated from the first mating portion 111, and then the connector 20 can be rotated to separate the second hook portion 204 from the second mating portion 121, and the connector 20 can be removed from the elastic ring 10, which facilitates the installation and disassembly of the connector 20.

[0075] In some examples, the surfaces of the first mating part 111 and the second mating part 121 facing the center line of the elastic ring 10 are nearly flush with the inner wall of the elastic ring 10, and the thickness of the first mating part 111 and the second mating part 121 in the radial direction of the elastic ring 10 is less than the thickness of the elastic ring 10 in the radial direction. Correspondingly, the connector 20 includes a plate, and the first hook part 203 and the second hook part 204 are both disposed on the inner surface 202 of the plate facing the center line of the elastic ring 10. After the first hook part 203 is connected to the first mating part 111 and the second hook part 204 is connected to the second mating part 121, the outer surface 201 of the plate can be flush with the outer wall of the elastic ring 10 to improve the decorative effect of the wearable device.

[0076] Understandably, after the connector 20 is installed in the notch 101, the connector 20 can contact the first end 110 and the second end 120 to avoid gaps between the connector 20 and the first end 110 and the second end 120, which can further improve the decorative effect of the wearable device.

[0077] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4In other implementations, the first hook portion 203 is disposed on the outer surface 201, and the second hook portion 204 is disposed on the inner surface 202. That is, the second hook portion 204 protrudes from the connector 20 toward the center line of the elastic ring 10, and the first hook portion 203 protrudes squarely from the connector 20 away from the center line of the elastic ring 10. With this configuration, during installation, the first hook portion 203 can be hooked onto the first mating portion 111 first, then the elastic ring 10 can be placed on the user's finger, and then the connector 20 can be rotated so that the connector 20 covers the notch 101, and the second hook portion 204 hooks onto the second mating portion 121. During disassembly, the second hook portion 204 and the second mating portion 121 can be separated first, and then the connector 20 can be rotated to separate the first hook portion 203 and the first mating portion 111. Alternatively, the elastic ring 10 can be removed from the finger, and then the first hook portion 203 and the first mating portion 111 can be separated.

[0078] Please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 In other implementations, both the first hook portion 203 and the second hook portion 204 are located on the outer surface 201. That is, the first hook portion 203 and the second hook portion 204 protrude from the connector 20 in a direction away from the center line of the elastic ring 10. When wearing the ring, the elastic ring 10 is first placed over the user's finger, then the connector 20 is placed between the notch 101 and the user's finger, and the first hook portion 203 and the first mating portion 111, as well as the second hook portion 204 and the second mating portion 121, are connected sequentially to complete the wearing process. When disassembling the ring, the first hook portion 203 is first separated from the first mating portion 111, then the elastic ring 10 is removed from the user's finger, and the second hook portion 204 is separated from the second mating portion 121.

[0079] With the above settings, after wearing, the connector 20 is attached to the user's finger, which can prevent the user's hand from pushing against the connector 20 outward during use, and can prevent the first hook part 203 from separating from the first mating part 111 and the second hook part 204 from separating from the second mating part 121, thus preventing the wearable device from falling off.

[0080] In the above implementation, the wearable device may further include a decorative element 30, which is mounted on the connector 20 and located on the surface of the connector 20 opposite to the center line of the elastic ring 10 (outer surface 201). This configuration enhances the decorative effect of the wearable device, thereby improving the user experience.

[0081] For example, decorative element 30 may include diamonds, gemstones, etc., but this application embodiment does not limit this.

[0082] In the implementation where both the first hook portion 203 and the second hook portion 204 are provided on the outer surface 201, the decorative part 30 can be located between the first hook portion 203 and the second hook portion 204, and after installation, at least part of the decorative part 30 can be located within the notch 101, thereby reducing the space occupied by the decorative part 30 and facilitating the miniaturization of wearable devices.

[0083] Please refer to Figure 7a and Figure 8 In implementations where both the first hook portion 203 and the second hook portion 204 are located on the inner surface 202 (e.g.) Figure 7b and Figure 7c As shown, the surfaces of the first mating part 111 and the second mating part 121 near the center line of the elastic ring 10 can be approximately flush with the inner wall of the elastic ring 10, and the thickness of the first mating part 111 and the second mating part 121 is less than the thickness of the elastic ring 10 in the radial direction; so that after the connector 20 covers the first mating part 111 and the second mating part 121, the outer surface of the connector 20 is approximately flush with the outer wall of the elastic ring 10, thereby further improving the decorative effect of the wearable device.

[0084] Please refer to Figure 9 In the above implementations, there can be multiple connectors 20, which are replaceably disposed within the notch 101. Different connectors 20 have different widths d along the circumferential direction of the elastic ring 10. That is, any connector 20 can be selected and installed within the notch 101, resulting in different widths of the notch 101 along the circumferential direction of the elastic ring 10. This allows the wearing space 103 to have different dimensions (e.g., the cross-sectional area of ​​the wearing space 103 perpendicular to the center line of the elastic ring 10), thus accommodating users with different finger sizes and improving versatility. Furthermore, by installing different connectors 20, the wearable device can be worn on different fingers of the user, improving the user experience. It is understood that the wearable device can include multiple connectors 20 for the user to choose from.

[0085] For example, there can be three connectors 20, and the widths d of the three connectors 20 along the circumferential direction of the elastic ring 10 are not equal. With this configuration, after the three connectors 20 are connected to the elastic ring 10 respectively, the notch 101 on the elastic ring 10 has different widths, thereby obtaining three wearing spaces 103 of different sizes and improving versatility. Of course, there can also be four, five, etc., connectors 20. The number of connectors 20 is not limited in this embodiment.

[0086] Please refer to Figure 10 and Figure 11In some embodiments, a first mounting groove 112 is provided on the first end 110, and a second mounting groove 122 is provided on the second end 120. The first opening end 113 of the first mounting groove 112 and the second opening end 123 of the second mounting groove 122 are both located on the surface (inner wall) of the elastic ring 10 facing its centerline. A first slider 205 is provided at one end of the connector 20, and a second slider 206 is provided at the other end of the connector 20. The first slider 205 slides in the first mounting groove 112, and the second slider 206 slides in the second mounting groove 122. With this configuration, the connection between the connector 20 and the first end 110 and the second end 120 can be achieved by sliding the first slider 205 in the first mounting groove 112 and the second slider 206 in the second mounting groove 122. The structure is simple, and the installation and disassembly of the connector 20 and the elastic ring 10 are convenient.

[0087] Understandably, during installation, the elastic ring 10 can be first placed on the user's finger, then the connector 20 can be placed between the elastic ring 10 and the user's finger. The first slider 205 is slidably positioned in the first mounting groove 112, and the second slider 206 is slidably positioned in the second mounting groove 122. The small distance between the connector 20 and the user's finger prevents the first slider 205 from moving out of the first mounting groove 112, and also prevents the second slider 206 from moving out of the second mounting groove 122, thus preventing the connector 20 from separating from the elastic ring 10.

[0088] Please refer to Figure 10 , Figure 12 , Figure 13 , Figure 14In some implementations, a first mounting opening 114 is provided on the groove wall of the first mounting groove 112 near the notch 101, and a second mounting opening 124 is provided on the groove wall of the second mounting groove 122 near the notch 101, and a first connecting part 207 is provided between the first slider 205 and the connector 20. The first connecting part 207 is connected to both the first slider 205 and the connector 20. The first connecting part 207 slides in the first mounting opening 114. The first mounting opening 114 can ensure that the first connecting part 207 passes through while preventing the first slider 205 from passing through. A second connecting part 208 is provided between the second slider 206 and the connector 20. The second connecting part 208 is connected to both the second slider 206 and the connector 20. The second connecting part 208 slides in the second mounting opening 124. The second mounting opening 124 can ensure that the second connecting part 208 passes through while preventing the second slider 206 from passing through. With this configuration, the first connecting part 207 passes through the first mounting port 114 and the second connecting part 208 passes through the second mounting port 124, which can reduce the space occupied by the first connecting part 207 and the second connecting part 208, improve the structural compactness, and facilitate the miniaturization of wearable devices.

[0089] In the above implementation, when the connector 20 is not installed, the notch 101 has a large width along the circumferential direction of the elastic ring 10. The connector 20 is used to pull the first end 110 and the second end 120 closer together to reduce the width of the notch 101 along the circumferential direction of the elastic ring 10.

[0090] Please refer to Figure 15 and Figure 16 In some examples, the distance L1 between the first closed end of the first mounting groove 112 and the second closed end of the second mounting groove 122 is smaller than that between the first open end 113 and the second open end 123 (e.g., Figure 10 The distance L2 between the first mounting groove 112 and the second mounting groove 122 is such that the depth of the first mounting groove 112 and the second mounting groove 122 is inclined relative to the inner wall of the elastic ring 10. After the connector 20 is installed, under the elastic force of the elastic ring 10, the first slider 205 moves toward the first closed end and abuts against the first closed end to prevent the first slider 205 from moving toward the first open end 113. At the same time, the second slider 206 moves toward the second closed end and abuts against the second closed end to prevent the second slider 206 from moving toward the second open end 123, thereby preventing the connector 20 from falling off the elastic ring 10.

[0091] In the above implementation, a decorative structure 40 or a decorative element 30 (such as...) is provided on the side of the connector 20 facing away from the center line of the elastic ring 10. Figure 5As shown, decorative elements 30 can be used to enhance the decorative effect of wearable devices. For example, decorative elements 30 may include diamonds, gemstones, etc., and decorative structures 40 may be in the shape of frustums, spheres, etc., which are not limited in this application.

[0092] Please refer to Figure 17 In the above implementation, the extension direction of the notch 101 on the outer wall of the elastic ring 10 can be inclined to the edge of the elastic ring 10 along its center line direction, so as to further improve the decorative effect of the wearable device.

[0093] In the above implementation, there can be multiple connectors 20, which are replaceably disposed within the notch 101. Different connectors 20 have different widths along the circumferential direction of the elastic ring 10. That is, any connector 20 can be selected and installed within the notch 101, resulting in different widths of the notch 101 along the circumferential direction of the elastic ring 10. This allows the wearing space 103 to have different dimensions (e.g., the cross-sectional area of ​​the wearing space 103 perpendicular to the center line of the elastic ring 10), thus accommodating users with different finger sizes and improving versatility. Furthermore, by installing different connectors 20, the wearable device can be worn on different fingers of the user, improving the user experience. It is understood that the wearable device can include multiple connectors 20 for the user to choose from.

[0094] Please refer to Figure 18 , Figure 19 and Figure 20 In other implementations, the first end 110 has a first sidewall 115 facing the second end 120, and the second end 120 has a second sidewall 125 facing the first end 110. The distance between the outer edges of the first sidewall 115 and the second sidewall 125 away from the center line of the elastic ring is less than the distance between the inner edges of the first sidewall 115 and the second sidewall 125 near the center line of the elastic ring. The connector 20 is in contact with the first sidewall 115 and the second sidewall 125. Correspondingly, the connector 20 has a third sidewall at the end facing the first end 110 and a fourth sidewall at the end facing the second end 120. The distance between the outer edges of the third sidewall and the fourth sidewall away from the center line of the elastic ring 10 is less than the distance between the inner edges of the third sidewall and the fourth sidewall near the center line of the elastic ring 10. The first sidewall 115 is in contact with the third sidewall, and the second sidewall 125 is in contact with the fourth sidewall. With this design, the width of the notch 101 along the circumferential direction of the elastic ring 10 gradually decreases away from the center line of the elastic ring 10. After wearing, the user can prevent the connector 20 from falling off by pointing their finger away from the center line of the elastic ring 10 and pressing it against the connector 20.

[0095] Please refer to Figure 21 and Figure 22In other embodiments, the wearable device further includes a first abutment block 116, a second abutment block 117, and an elastic element 118. A telescopic hole 119 is provided on the first end 110, with the center line of the telescopic hole 119 parallel to the center line of the elastic ring 10. The first abutment block 116 and the second abutment block 117 are both disposed within the telescopic hole 119. The elastic element 118 is connected to both the first abutment block 116 and the second abutment block 117. The elastic element 118 is used to allow the first abutment block 116 to extend from one end of the telescopic hole 119 and the second abutment block 117 to extend from the other end of the telescopic hole 119. One end of the connector 20 is provided with a connecting groove 209 (e.g., ...). Figure 23 As shown, the connecting groove 209 has a first groove wall 210 and a second groove wall 211 facing each other. The first groove wall 210 is provided at one end facing the telescopic hole 119, and the second groove wall 211 is provided at the other end facing the telescopic hole 119. A first limiting groove 212 is provided on the first groove wall 210, and a second limiting groove 213 is provided on the second groove wall 211. A first abutting block 116 is engaged in the first limiting groove 212, and a second abutting block 117 is engaged in the second limiting groove 213.

[0096] With this configuration, the elastic element 118 abuts against the first abutting block 116 and the second abutting block 117, which can maintain the engagement between the first abutting block 116 and the first limiting groove 212 and between the second abutting block 117 and the second limiting groove 213, thereby preventing the connector 20 from detaching from the first end 110.

[0097] In some examples, a cavity 104 is provided within the first end 110, and a telescopic hole 119 penetrates the cavity 104. The elastic element 118 includes a spring disposed within the cavity 104. The first abutment block 116 is cylindrical and has a first limiting flange located within the cavity 104. One end of the spring can abut against the first limiting flange, and the first limiting flange also abuts against the first end 110 around the telescopic hole 119, so as to ensure that part of the first abutment block 116 is supported by... After the telescopic hole 119 extends, it prevents the first abutment block 116 from extending further outward. Similarly, the second abutment block 117 is columnar and is provided with a second limiting flange. The second limiting flange is located in the cavity 104. The other end of the spring can abut against the second limiting flange. The second limiting flange also abuts against the first end 110 around the telescopic hole 119, so as to prevent the second abutment block 117 from extending further outward after ensuring that part of the second abutment block 117 extends out of the telescopic hole 119.

[0098] In the above implementation, the opening side of the connecting groove 209 is positioned towards the center line of the elastic ring 10 to facilitate the installation and disassembly of the connector 20.

[0099] For example, after the connector 20 is assembled onto the elastic ring 10, the surface of the connector 20 facing away from the center line of the elastic ring 10 can be flush with the outer wall of the elastic ring 10 to improve the decorative effect of the wearable device.

[0100] Continue to refer to Figure 22 and Figure 23 In some implementations, a first guide portion 214 is provided on the first groove wall 210, and a second guide portion 215 is provided on the second groove wall 211. The first guide portion 214 is used to guide the first abutment block 116 into the first limiting groove 212, and the second guide portion 215 is used to guide the second abutment block 117 into the second limiting groove 213. With this configuration, during installation, the first abutment block 116 is guided by the first guide portion 214, and the second abutment block 117 is guided by the second guide portion 215. Simply cover the notch 101 with the connector 20, and then press the connector 20 to make the first abutment block 116 engage in the first limiting groove 212, and the second abutment block 117 engage in the second limiting groove 213, thus facilitating the installation of the connector 20.

[0101] Please refer to Figure 23 , Figure 24 and Figure 25 Two limiting ribs 217 are provided on the surface edge of the first end 110 facing the second end 120. The two limiting ribs 217 are arranged opposite each other along a direction parallel to the center of the elastic ring 10. The extending direction of the limiting ribs 217 is perpendicular to the center line of the elastic ring 10 and also perpendicular to the circumferential direction of the elastic ring 10. Correspondingly, a third limiting groove 216 is provided on the first groove wall 210 and the second groove wall 211 of the connecting groove 209. Each limiting rib 217 is slidably disposed in a third limiting groove. Within the groove 216, the limiting rib 217 and the third limiting groove 216 can prevent the connector 20 from swaying relative to the first end 110 in a direction parallel to the center line of the elastic ring 10, thereby maintaining the engagement between the first abutment block 116 and the first limiting groove 212, and the engagement between the second abutment block 117 and the second limiting groove 213; in addition, the limiting rib 217 and the third limiting groove 216 can also prevent the connector 20 from swaying relative to the first end 110 in a circumferential direction parallel to the elastic ring 10.

[0102] In this embodiment, the connection between the second end 120 and the connector 20 can be roughly the same as the connection between the first end 110 and the connector 20, and will not be described in detail here.

[0103] Please refer to Figure 26 , Figure 27 as well as Figure 28Unlike the above embodiments, the first limiting groove 212 and the second limiting groove 213 can penetrate the connector 20, that is, the first limiting groove 212 and the second limiting groove 213 are hole structures; so that when disassembling the connector 20, it is convenient to use a tool to push against the first abutting block 116 and the second abutting block 117, so that the first abutting block 116 and the second abutting block 117 move into the telescopic hole 119, the first abutting block 116 disengages from the first limiting groove 212, and the second abutting block 117 disengages from the second limiting groove 213, so as to realize the disassembly between the connector 20 and the first end 110.

[0104] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 29 and Figure 30 Two limiting ribs 217 are provided on the surface edge of the first end 110 facing the second end 120. The two limiting ribs 217 are arranged opposite each other along a direction parallel to the center of the elastic ring 10. The extending direction of the limiting ribs 217 is perpendicular to the center line of the elastic ring 10 and also perpendicular to the circumferential direction of the elastic ring 10. Correspondingly, a third limiting groove 216 is provided on the first groove wall 210 and the second groove wall 211 of the connecting groove 209. Each limiting rib 217 is slidably disposed in a third limiting groove. Within the groove 216, the limiting rib 217 and the third limiting groove 216 can prevent the connector 20 from swaying relative to the first end 110 in a direction parallel to the center line of the elastic ring 10, thereby maintaining the engagement between the first abutment block 116 and the first limiting groove 212, and the engagement between the second abutment block 117 and the second limiting groove 213; in addition, the limiting rib 217 and the third limiting groove 216 can also prevent the connector 20 from swaying relative to the first end 110 in a circumferential direction parallel to the elastic ring 10.

[0105] In this embodiment, the connection between the second end 120 and the connector 20 can be roughly the same as the connection between the first end 110 and the connector 20, and will not be described in detail here.

[0106] In the above embodiments, the elastic ring 10 has a certain elasticity. When the connector 20 is not installed, the notch 101 can have a large width along the circumferential direction of the elastic ring 10 to obtain a larger wearing space 103, making it easier for fingers to insert. After the connector 20 is connected to the first end 110 and the second end 120, the connector 20 can be pulled closer to the first end 110 and the second end 120, so that the width of the notch 101 along the circumferential direction of the elastic ring 10 decreases, thereby reducing the wearing space 103. This ensures that the elastic ring 10 can still make close contact with the user's fingers when worn, preventing it from falling off. After the connector 20 is removed, the elastic ring 10, under its own elasticity, causes the width of the notch 101 along the circumferential direction of the elastic ring 10 to increase, thereby increasing the wearing space 103. This makes it easier to remove the user's fingers from the wearing space 103, facilitating disassembly.

[0107] In other implementations, without the connector 20 installed, the notch 101 can have a smaller width along the circumferential direction of the elastic ring 10. Correspondingly, during wear, as the user's fingers gradually extend into the wearing space 103, the width of the notch 101 along the circumferential direction of the elastic ring 10 gradually increases. Then, the connector 20 is connected, and the connector 20 abuts against the first end 110 and the second end 120 in a direction away from each other to maintain a constant width of the notch 101 along the circumferential direction of the elastic ring 10. This avoids excessive pressure on the user's fingers from the elastic ring 10 during wear, improving wearing comfort. During disassembly, the connector 20 is separated from the elastic ring 10. The user can then use external force to drive the first end 110 and the second end 120 away from each other, facilitating the removal of the elastic ring 10 from the fingers and simplifying disassembly.

[0108] In the above embodiments, there can be multiple connectors 20, which are replaceably disposed within the notch 101. Different connectors 20 have different widths along the circumferential direction of the elastic ring 10. That is, any connector 20 can be selected to be installed within the notch 101, so that the notch 101 has different widths along the circumferential direction of the elastic ring 10. This allows the wearing space 103 to have different dimensions (e.g., the cross-sectional area of ​​the wearing space 103 perpendicular to the center line of the elastic ring 10), thus making it suitable for users with different finger sizes and improving versatility. Additionally, by installing different connectors 20, the wearable device can be worn on different fingers of the user, improving the user experience. It is understood that the wearable device can be equipped with multiple connectors 20 for the user to choose from.

[0109] The above description is merely a specific implementation of the embodiments of this application, but the protection scope of this application is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this application should be included within the protection scope of this application. Therefore, the protection scope of this application should be determined by the protection scope of the claims.
