[0002] This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 202410486375.7, filed on April 22, 2024, entitled "Connecting Strap Component and Wearable Device", the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field
[0003] This application belongs to the field of wearable device technology, specifically relating to a connecting strap assembly and a wearable device. Background Technology
[0004] In related technologies, users need to manually rotate a button on the wearable device to adjust its tightness. Specifically, when wearing the wearable device, the user needs to hold it with one hand while rotating the button. This setup increases the difficulty of wearing the wearable device, makes the operation cumbersome, results in a poor user experience, and reduces the product's performance. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this application is to provide a connecting strap component and a wearable device, which can effectively solve or improve the technical problems of high difficulty in wearing and complicated operation of wearable devices.
[0006] In a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide a connecting strap assembly for a wearable device, comprising: a first adjustment structure; a second adjustment structure; a connecting strap, the connecting strap having an elastic cord connected between the first adjustment structure and the second adjustment structure; when the first adjustment structure is energized, it is capable of adjusting the length of the portion of the elastic cord located between the first adjustment structure and the second adjustment structure; the second adjustment structure is used to adjust the length of the portion of the elastic cord located between the first adjustment structure and the second adjustment structure when the elastic cord is stretched.
[0007] Secondly, embodiments of this application provide a wearable device, including: a device body; and a connecting strap assembly as described in the first aspect, the connecting strap assembly being connected to the device body; the device body being located between a first adjustment structure and a second adjustment structure; or the first adjustment structure and the second adjustment structure being located on the same side of the device body.
[0008] Thirdly, embodiments of this application provide a control method for a wearable device, used to control the wearable device as described in the second aspect, including: detecting the wearing state of the wearable device; and controlling the drive unit of the connecting strap assembly to operate when the wearing state is "worn".
[0009] Fourthly, embodiments of this application provide a control device for a wearable device, used in the wearable device as described in the second aspect, comprising: a detection module for detecting the wearing state of the wearable device; and a control module for controlling the drive unit of the connecting strap assembly to operate when the wearing state is "worn".
[0010] Fifthly, embodiments of this application provide a wearable device, including: a processor and a memory, wherein the memory stores a program or instructions that can run on the processor, and when the program or instructions are executed by the processor, implement the steps of the control method for the wearable device as described in the third aspect.
[0011] In a sixth aspect, embodiments of this application provide a readable storage medium having a program or instructions stored thereon, which, when executed by a processor, implement the steps of the control method for a wearable device as described in the third aspect.
[0012] In this embodiment, the connecting strap assembly includes a first adjustment structure, a second adjustment structure, and a connecting strap. The connecting strap assembly is used in wearable devices.
[0013] The connecting belt is equipped with an elastic cord, which connects the first adjustment structure and the second adjustment structure. That is, one end of the elastic cord is connected to the first adjustment structure, and the other end of the elastic cord is connected to the second adjustment structure.
[0014] When the first adjustment structure is energized, it can adjust the length of the portion of the elastic rope located between the first and second adjustment structures. When the elastic rope is stretched, the second adjustment structure can adjust the length of the portion of the elastic rope located between the first and second adjustment structures.
[0015] Optionally, when the user is wearing the wearable device and the first adjustment structure is powered on, the length of the portion of the elastic cord located between the first and second adjustment structures can be automatically adjusted via the first adjustment structure. In other words, the tension of the connecting strap can be automatically adjusted via the first adjustment structure to ensure the user can effectively wear the wearable device. Essentially, the wearable device has an automatic tension adjustment function for the connecting strap; the user only needs to wear the wearable device to automatically adjust the tension of the connecting strap via the first adjustment structure. This feature simplifies the wearing process of the wearable device, reduces the difficulty of wearing it, improves the automation level of the product, and enhances its usability.
[0016] Optionally, the wearable device can still be worn normally via the second adjustment structure even when it is powered off or not powered on. Specifically, when the wearable device is powered off, the first adjustment structure is also powered off. The user can manually stretch the connecting strap to stretch the elastic cord. The second adjustment structure can adjust the length of the portion of the elastic cord located between the first and second adjustment structures when the elastic cord is stretched. In other words, the second adjustment structure can adjust the tightness of the connecting strap when the elastic cord is stretched, so that the user can effectively wear the wearable device. In this way, even if the wearable device suddenly loses power, the tightness of the connecting strap can be adjusted via the second adjustment structure, preventing the wearable device from falling off due to the first adjustment structure malfunctioning.
[0017] Optionally, when it is necessary to remove the wearable device, the first adjustment structure can be stopped, and the elastic cord can be stretched by manually stretching the connecting strap, and then the wearable device can be removed.
[0018] In other words, by rationally designing the structure of the connecting strap assembly, wearable devices not only have the function of automatically adjusting the tightness of the connecting strap, but also meet the usage needs of normal wearable devices in various scenarios (such as when the wearable device is powered off or not powered on). This allows wearable devices to meet various usage needs in different scenarios, improving the product's adaptability, performance, and market competitiveness. Attached Figure Description

It should be understood that such terms can be used interchangeably where appropriate so that embodiments of this application can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein, and the objects distinguished by "first," "second," etc., are generally of the same class and the number of objects is not limited; for example, a first object can be one or more. Furthermore, in the specification and claims, "and / or" indicates at least one of the connected objects, and the character " / " generally indicates that the preceding and following objects are in an "or" relationship.
[0039] The following describes the connecting strap assembly 10 and wearable device 60 provided in this application through specific embodiments and application scenarios, with reference to Figures 1 to 17.
[0040] As shown in Figures 1, 2, and 3, some embodiments of this application provide a connecting strap assembly 10 for a wearable device 60, including: a first adjustment structure 100; a second adjustment structure 200; and a connecting strap 300. The connecting strap 300 is provided with an elastic cord 310, which is connected between the first adjustment structure 100 and the second adjustment structure 200. When the first adjustment structure 100 is energized, it can adjust the length of the portion of the elastic cord 310 located between the first adjustment structure 100 and the second adjustment structure 200. The second adjustment structure 200 is used to adjust the length of the portion of the elastic cord 310 located between the first adjustment structure 100 and the second adjustment structure 200 when the elastic cord 310 is stretched.
[0041] In this embodiment, the connecting strap assembly 10 includes a first adjustment structure 100, a second adjustment structure 200, and a connecting strap 300. The connecting strap assembly 10 is used in a wearable device 60.
[0042] The connecting belt 300 is provided with an elastic rope 310, which connects the first adjusting structure 100 and the second adjusting structure 200. That is, one end of the elastic rope 310 is connected to the first adjusting structure 100, and the other end of the elastic rope 310 is connected to the second adjusting structure 200.
[0043] When the first adjustment structure 100 is energized, it can adjust the length of the portion of the elastic rope 310 located between the first adjustment structure 100 and the second adjustment structure 200. When the elastic rope 310 is stretched, the second adjustment structure 200 can adjust the length of the portion of the elastic rope 310 located between the first adjustment structure 100 and the second adjustment structure 200.
[0044] Optionally, when the user is wearing the wearable device 60 and the first adjustment structure 100 is powered on, the length of the portion of the elastic cord 310 located between the first adjustment structure 100 and the second adjustment structure 200 can be automatically adjusted via the first adjustment structure 100. That is, the tension of the connecting strap 300 can be automatically adjusted via the first adjustment structure 100 to ensure the user can effectively wear the wearable device 60. In other words, the wearable device 60 has the function of automatically adjusting the tension of the connecting strap 300; the user only needs to wear the wearable device 60 to automatically adjust the tension of the connecting strap 300 via the first adjustment structure 100. This setting simplifies the wearing steps of the wearable device 60, reduces the difficulty of wearing the wearable device 60, improves the automation level of the product, and enhances the product's usability.
[0045] Optionally, even when the wearable device 60 is powered off or not powered on, it can still be worn normally through the second adjustment structure 200. Specifically, when the wearable device 60 is powered off, the first adjustment structure 100 is also powered off. The user can manually stretch the connecting strap 300 to stretch the elastic cord 310. When the elastic cord 310 is stretched, the second adjustment structure 200 can adjust the length of the portion of the elastic cord 310 located between the first adjustment structure 100 and the second adjustment structure 200. That is, the second adjustment structure 200 can adjust the tightness of the connecting strap 300 when the elastic cord 310 is stretched, so that the user can effectively wear the wearable device 60. In this way, even if the wearable device 60 suddenly loses power, the tightness of the connecting strap 300 can be adjusted through the second adjustment structure 200, and the wearable device 60 will not fall off due to the first adjustment structure 100 malfunctioning.
[0046] Optionally, when it is necessary to remove the wearable device 60, the first adjustment structure 100 can be controlled to stop working, and the elastic cord 310 can be stretched by manually stretching the connecting strap 300, and then the wearable device 60 can be removed.
[0047] In other words, by rationally designing the structure of the connecting strap assembly 10, the wearable device 60 not only has the function of automatically adjusting the tightness of the connecting strap 300, but also meets the usage needs of normal wear of the wearable device 60 in various scenarios. This allows the wearable device 60 to meet various usage needs in different scenarios, improving the product's adaptability, performance, and market competitiveness. These various scenarios include the wearable device 60 being in a power-off state and the wearable device 60 not being powered on, etc., which will not be listed here.
[0048] In some embodiments of this application, as shown in Figures 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8, the first adjustment structure 100 includes: a first winding wheel 110, one end of an elastic rope 310 being connected to the first winding wheel 110; and a drive unit 120, which, when energized, can drive the first winding wheel 110 to rotate, thereby adjusting the length of the elastic rope 310 wound on the first winding wheel 110.
[0049] In this embodiment, the first adjustment structure 100 includes a first winding wheel 110 and a drive unit 120. One end of the elastic rope 310 is connected to the first winding wheel 110. When the drive unit 120 is energized, it can drive the first winding wheel 110 to rotate in a first direction of motion, thereby increasing the length of the elastic rope 310 wound on the first winding wheel 110. When the drive unit 120 is energized, it can drive the first winding wheel 110 to rotate in a second direction of rotation, thereby decreasing the length of the elastic rope 310 wound on the first winding wheel 110. The first direction of motion is opposite to the second direction of rotation.
[0050] It is understandable that increasing the length of the elastic rope 310 wound on the first winding wheel 110 will shorten the length of the portion of the elastic rope 310 located between the first adjusting structure 100 and the second adjusting structure 200. Conversely, decreasing the length of the elastic rope 310 wound on the first winding wheel 110 will increase the length of the portion of the elastic rope 310 located between the first adjusting structure 100 and the second adjusting structure 200. This achieves the purpose of automatically adjusting the tension of the connecting belt 300.
[0051] In some embodiments of this application, as shown in Figures 4, 6 and 7, the first adjustment structure 100 further includes: a first limiting part 130 disposed on the first winding wheel 110, the first limiting part 130 being used to limit the rotation angle of the first winding wheel 110; and a second limiting part 140 disposed on the first winding wheel 110, the second limiting part 140 being connected to the first end of the elastic rope 310.
[0052] In this embodiment, the first adjusting structure 100 further includes a first limiting part 130. Optionally, the first limiting part 130 includes any one or a combination of the following: protrusions, ribs, and upright plates, etc., which are not listed here. The first limiting part 130 is disposed on the first winding wheel 110, that is, the first winding wheel 110 serves as the mounting carrier for the first limiting part 130, and the first limiting part 130 can be driven to rotate when the first winding wheel 110 rotates. The first limiting part 130 is used to limit the rotation angle of the first winding wheel 110, that is, to limit the length of the elastic rope 310 wound on the first winding wheel 110.
[0053] Optionally, the first housing 400 of the connecting belt assembly 10 is provided with a first mating part. When the first limiting part 130 rotates to the first mating part, the first mating part restricts the first limiting part 130 from continuing to rotate, so as to limit the rotation angle of the first winding wheel 110. The first mating part includes any one or a combination of the following: protrusions, ribs, and upright plates, etc., which are not listed here.
[0054] In this embodiment, the first adjusting structure 100 further includes a second limiting part 140. The second limiting part 140 is disposed on the first winding wheel 110 and is connected to the first end of the elastic rope 310. The first winding wheel 110 serves as the mounting carrier for the second limiting part 140. When the first winding wheel 110 rotates, the length of the elastic rope 310 wound on the first winding wheel 110 can be increased or decreased. The second limiting part 140 serves to fix the elastic rope 310 on the first winding wheel 110, providing structural support for the elastic rope 310 to be wound on the first winding wheel 110.
[0055] In some embodiments of this application, as shown in Figures 6 and 7, the drive unit 120 includes: a motor 122, the output shaft of which is connected to the first winding wheel 110; and a reducer 124, which is electrically connected to the motor 122.
[0056] In this embodiment, the drive unit 120 includes a motor 122 and a reducer 124. The output shaft of the motor 122 is connected to the first winding reel 110, and the reducer 124 is electrically connected to the motor 122. The motor 122 and the reducer 124 cooperate to drive the first winding reel 110 to rotate.
[0057] In some embodiments of this application, as shown in Figures 9, 10, 11, and 12, the second adjustment structure 200 includes: a fixing part 210; a second winding wheel 220, which is rotatable relative to the fixing part 210; and a second end of an elastic rope 310 connected to the second winding wheel 220. An elastic reset member 230 is also included, with its first end connected to the fixing part 210 and its second end connected to the second winding wheel 220. When the elastic rope 310 is stretched, it can drive the second winding wheel 220 to rotate in a first direction. The elastic reset member 230 is used to drive the second winding wheel 220 to rotate in a second direction, where the first direction is opposite to the second direction.
[0058] In this embodiment, the second adjustment structure 200 includes a fixing part 210, a second winding wheel 220, and an elastic reset member 230. The second winding wheel 220 is rotatably connected to the fixing part 210, and the second winding part can rotate relative to the fixing part 210. The elastic reset member 230 has a first end and a second end. The first end of the elastic reset member 230 is connected to the fixing part 210, and the second end of the elastic reset member 230 is connected to the second winding wheel 220. When the user manually stretches the connecting belt 300, the elastic rope 310 can drive the second winding wheel 220 to rotate in a first direction. At the same time, the elastic reset member 230 will prevent the second winding wheel 220 from rotating in the first direction.
[0059] For example, when the wearable device 60 is powered off or not turned on, if the user manually stretches the connecting strap 300 to stretch the elastic cord 310, the drive unit 120 of the first adjustment structure 100 cannot provide driving force, the first winding wheel 110 can be easily pulled to the bottom, and the elastic cord 310 on the first winding wheel 110 is released without any tendency to recover. However, due to the rebound force of the elastic reset member 230, the length of the released elastic cord 310 is determined by the magnitude of the tension on the elastic cord 310 at the second adjustment structure 200.
[0060] For example, when wearing the wearable device 60, the connecting strap 300 is manually stretched. When the pulling force of the user's hand is greater than the elastic force of the elastic reset member 230 at this length, if the user's hand is removed from the wearable device 60 at this time, since the external force has been removed, the rebound force of the elastic reset member 230 can drive the second winding wheel 220 to rotate in the second direction to tighten the connecting strap 300.
[0061] For example, when the wearable device 60 is powered off, the tightening force of the connecting strap 300 relies solely on the elastic reset member 230, and the rebound force of the elastic reset member 230 ensures that the wearable device 60 will not detach from the user. Thus, even if the wearable device 60 suddenly loses power, the tension of the connecting strap 300 can be adjusted via the second adjustment structure 200, preventing the wearable device 60 from falling off due to the first adjustment structure 100 malfunctioning.
[0062] In some embodiments of this application, as shown in Figures 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 12, the number of elastic ropes 310 is multiple; at least a portion of the multiple elastic ropes 310 are arranged at intervals; or at least a portion of the multiple elastic ropes 310 are arranged crosswise.
[0063] In this embodiment, the number and distribution of the elastic cords 310 are further defined. There are multiple elastic cords 310. Each elastic cord 310 is connected between the first adjustment structure 100 and the second adjustment structure 200. The arrangement of the multiple elastic cords 310 can be configured according to specific usage requirements. Optionally, at least a portion of the multiple elastic cords 310 are arranged at intervals. Optionally, at least a portion of the multiple elastic cords 310 are arranged crosswise. This configuration ensures the balance and consistency of force at different positions of the connecting strap 300, and ensures the balance of tension at different positions of the connecting strap 300, which is beneficial to improving the comfort of wearing the wearable device 60.
[0064] In this embodiment, as shown in Figures 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, and 12, there are two elastic ropes 310. These two elastic ropes 310 are designated as the first elastic rope 310a and the second elastic rope 310b, respectively.
[0065] In some other embodiments, the number of elastic cords 310 is greater than two, such as three, four, five or six, which will not be listed here.
[0066] In some other embodiments, the number of elastic ropes 310 is one.
[0067] In some embodiments of this application, as shown in Figures 9, 10, and 12, the second adjustment structure 200 further includes a guide wheel 240 located on one side of the second winding wheel 220. At least one of the plurality of elastic ropes 310 is slidably connected to the guide wheel 240. The guide wheel 240 is used to guide the elastic ropes 310 when the connecting belt 300 is stretched, so that the plurality of elastic ropes 310 drive the second winding wheel 220 to rotate in the same direction. The composition of the second adjustment structure 200 is further defined in the embodiments of this application.
[0068] The second adjustment structure 200 also includes a guide wheel 240, which is located on one side of the second winding wheel 220. At least one of the multiple elastic ropes 310 is slidably connected to the guide wheel 240. The guide wheel 240 has a guiding function, so that the multiple elastic ropes 310 drive the second winding wheel 220 to rotate in the same direction. That is, the multiple guide wheels 240 can ensure the consistency of the direction of the force applied by the elastic reset member 230 to all elastic ropes 310, providing structural support for the stable rotation of the second winding wheel 220.
[0069] Optionally, multiple elastic ropes 310 drive the second winding wheel 220 to rotate in a clockwise direction.
[0070] Optionally, multiple elastic ropes 310 drive the second winding wheel 220 to rotate in a counterclockwise direction.
[0071] In some embodiments of this application, as shown in Figures 1, 2, 7, 8 and 11, the connecting strap assembly 10 further includes: a first housing 400, a first adjustment structure 100 disposed in the first housing 400; a second housing 500, a second adjustment structure 200 disposed in the second housing 500, and a connecting strap 300 connected between the first housing 400 and the second housing 500.
[0072] In this embodiment, the connecting strap assembly 10 further includes a first housing 400 and a second housing 500. The connecting strap 300 is connected between the first housing 400 and the second housing 500. Optionally, the connecting strap 300 is a flexible component.
[0073] Optionally, the first housing 400 and the second housing 500 are hard shells with a certain hardness and strength. The first adjustment structure 100 is disposed in the first housing 400, and the second adjustment structure 200 is disposed in the second housing 500. The first housing 400 has the function of protecting the first adjustment structure 100, and the second housing 500 has the function of protecting the second adjustment structure 200.
[0074] In this embodiment, as shown in Figure 2, the first housing 400 includes a first housing segment and a second housing segment, which are disposed opposite to each other. The second housing 500 includes a third housing segment and a fourth housing segment, which are disposed opposite to each other. The connecting strip 300 includes a first connecting segment and a second connecting segment, which are disposed opposite to each other. The first connecting segment connects the first housing segment and the third housing segment, and the second connecting segment connects the second housing segment and the fourth housing segment. During assembly, the first housing segment and the second housing segment are fastened together, the first connecting segment and the second connecting segment are fastened together, and the third housing segment and the fourth housing segment are fastened together.

[0076] In this embodiment, the wearable device 60 includes a device body 600 and a connecting strap assembly 10. The connecting strap assembly 10 is connected to the device body 600. Optionally, the device body 600 is located between the first adjustment structure 100 and the second adjustment structure 200. Optionally, the first adjustment structure 100 and the second adjustment structure 200 are located on the same side of the device body 600.
[0077] In other words, the positions of the first adjustment structure 100 and the second adjustment structure 200 on the device body 600 can be set according to specific actual usage needs to facilitate user operation. For example, both the first adjustment structure 100 and the second adjustment structure 200 may be located on the front panel of the device body 600. Or, both the first adjustment structure 100 and the second adjustment structure 200 may be located on the back panel of the device body 600, etc., which will not be listed here.
[0078] Furthermore, the wearable device 60 provided in this application includes the connecting strap assembly 10 of any of the above embodiments, and therefore has all the beneficial effects of the connecting strap assembly 10, which will not be described in detail here.
[0079] In some embodiments of this application, as shown in FIG1, the wearable device 60 further includes a pressure detection element 700 disposed on at least one of the device body 600 and the connecting strap assembly 10. The pressure detection element 700 is electrically connected to the device body 600, and the device body 600 is used to control the drive unit 120 of the first adjustment structure 100 to work according to the detection data of the pressure detection element 700.
[0080] In this embodiment, the wearable device 60 also includes a pressure detection element 700.
[0081] Pressure detection element 700 is located on the equipment body 600. Alternatively, pressure detection element 700 is located on the connecting belt assembly 10. Alternatively, there may be multiple pressure detection elements 700, with some pressure detection elements 700 located on the equipment body 600 and others located on the connecting belt assembly 10.
[0082] The pressure value detected by the pressure sensor 700 is used to determine the tension of the connecting belt 300. The device body 600 controls the drive unit 120 to work based on the detection data from the pressure sensor 700 to automatically adjust the tension of the connecting belt 300. For example, when the detected pressure value reaches the threshold, it indicates that the adjustment is in place, and the rotation of the motor 122 is automatically stopped, thus stopping the adjustment.
[0083] Optionally, the number of pressure detection elements 700 is one. Optionally, the number of pressure detection elements 700 is multiple. Multiple pressure detection elements 700 are arranged at intervals.
[0084] In some embodiments of this application, as shown in FIG13, the wearable device 60 further includes: an angle sensor 800 disposed on at least one of the device body 600 and the connecting strap assembly 10. The angle sensor 800 is electrically connected to the device body 600, and the device body 600 is used to control the drive unit 120 of the first adjustment structure 100 to work according to the detection data of the angle sensor 800.
[0085] In this embodiment, the wearable device 60 also includes an angle sensor 800. The angle sensor 800 is disposed on the device body 600. Alternatively, the angle sensor 800 is disposed on the connecting strap assembly 10. Alternatively, there may be multiple angle sensors 800, with some angle sensors 800 disposed on the device body 600 and others disposed on the connecting strap assembly 10.
[0086] The detection data from the angle sensor 800 is used to determine the output state of the motor 122 of the drive unit 120. The device body 600 controls the drive unit 120 to operate based on the detection data from the angle sensor 800, thereby automatically adjusting the tension of the connecting belt 300. The output state of the motor 122 includes the rotation angle of the motor 122.
[0087] In some embodiments of this application, as shown in FIG13, the wearable device 60 further includes: an unloading button 900, which is disposed in at least one of the device body 600 and the connecting strap assembly 10. The unloading button 900 is electrically connected to the device body 600. The device body 600 is also used to control the drive unit 120 of the first adjustment structure 100 to stop working when the unloading button 900 is triggered.
[0088] In this embodiment, the wearable device 60 also includes an unloading button 900. The unloading button 900 is located on the device body 600. Alternatively, the unloading button 900 is located on the connecting strap assembly 10. Alternatively, there may be multiple unloading buttons 900, with some located on the device body 600 and others on the connecting strap assembly 10. The unloading button 900 is electrically connected to the device body 600. When it is necessary to remove the wearable device 60, the user can trigger the unloading button 900, causing the device body 600 to control the drive unit 120 to stop working. Then, the wearable device 60 can be removed by manually stretching the connecting strap 300 to stretch the elastic cord 310.
[0089] Optionally, the unload button 900 is a physical button. Optionally, the device body 600 is equipped with a display screen. When it is necessary to remove the wearable device 60, the driver unit 120 can be stopped by touching the unload button on the display screen. The unload button may also include a virtual button.
[0090] In some other embodiments, the application program of the electronic device can interact with the device body 600, and the application program of the electronic device can control the drive unit 120 to stop working.
[0091] This application discloses a connecting strap assembly 10 and a wearable device 60. This arrangement enables the wearable device 60 to be worn normally even when not powered on. When powered on, the wearable device 60 has a function of automatically adjusting the tightness of the connecting strap 300. The wearable device 60 includes a head-mounted display device.
[0092] The wearable device 60 has certain adjustment and pre-tightening functions, and the motor 122 can further adjust the tension of the connecting belt 300.
[0093] After wearing the wearable device 60, the tension of the connecting strap 300 can be automatically adjusted via electric drive, replacing manual tightening and saving effort. The first adjustment structure 100 and the second adjustment structure 200 of the connecting strap assembly 10 can be placed in a convenient adjustment position, such as at the front of the device body 600. Alternatively, the drive unit 120 of the connecting strap assembly 10 can be controlled by inputting software commands in the system.
[0094] An elastic cord 310 passes through the woven mesh headband, and the length of the elastic cord 310 constrains the length variation of the entire connecting strap 300. When the wearable device 60 is worn, the pressure of the connecting strap 300 on the head can be changed by adjusting the length of the elastic cord 310. The mesh headband is the connecting strap 300. The second adjustment structure 200 includes a second winding wheel 220 and an elastic reset member 230. The second adjustment structure 200 includes a second winding wheel 220, an elastic reset member 230, and a guide wheel 240.
[0095] The elastic cord 310 is wound around the second winding reel 220. When the wearable device 60 is worn, the elastic cord 310 is stretched, and one end of the elastic reset member 230 is stretched to generate resistance. The longer the elastic cord 310 is stretched, the greater the resistance. Therefore, the second adjustment structure 200 provides the basic adjustment force for the wearable device 60 in the off-power state, enabling the wearable device 60 to have certain adjustment and pre-tensioning functions.
[0096] Optionally, the guide wheel 240 has the function of driving the second winding wheel 220 to rotate in the same direction by causing multiple elastic cords 310 to rotate. The first adjustment structure 100 includes a first winding wheel 110, a motor 122, and a reducer 124. The elastic cords 310 are wound around the first winding wheel 110, and the motor 122 can drive the first winding wheel 110 to rotate, thereby changing the length of the elastic cords 310 and further adjusting the tightness of the wearable device 60. When the motor 122 is working, it can overcome the resistance of the elastic reset member 230. At this time, the torque of the motor 122 needs to be greater than the torque of the elastic reset member 230. The first winding wheel 110 is provided with a first limiting part 130. The first limiting part 130 is used to limit the rotation of the first winding wheel 110 within one revolution, and the first limiting part 130 is used to provide overload protection for the motor 122. When the wearable device 60 is worn, and the device is turned off or suddenly loses power, the torque provided by the motor 122 disappears, and the connecting belt 300 will loosen. However, due to the elasticity of the elastic reset member 230, the wearable device 60 will not fall off.
[0097] Optionally, one of an angle sensor 800 and an encoder is installed near the motor 122 to obtain the output state of the motor 122. The output state of the motor 122 includes the rotation angle of the motor 122, etc., which will not be listed here.
[0098] Optionally, a pressure detection element 700 can be placed inside the connecting strap 300. The pressure detection element 700 is used to detect pressure, thereby obtaining information on the tightness of the strap and providing data support for the drive motor 122 to automatically adjust the tightness of the connecting strap 300. For example, when the detected pressure value reaches a threshold, it indicates that the adjustment is in place, and the rotation of the motor 122 is automatically stopped, thus stopping the adjustment.
[0099] Optionally, the first adjustment structure 100 and the second adjustment structure 200 can be combined and placed directly behind the user's head. As shown in Figures 3 and 13, the first adjustment structure 100 and the second adjustment structure 200 can change the length of the elastic cord 310 within the connecting strap 300, thereby changing the tension of the connecting strap 300. The connecting strap 300 is a braided strap.
[0100] The connecting belt assembly 10 includes a first adjusting structure 100, a second adjusting structure 200, and a connecting belt 300, wherein the connecting belt 300 is provided with two elastic cords 310. The two elastic cords 310 are parallel to each other. In some other embodiments, the number of elastic cords 310 is one. In other embodiments, the number of elastic cords 310 is multiple, and the multiple elastic cords 310 are arranged in a cross pattern.
[0101] As shown in Figure 1, the connecting belt assembly 10 includes a first housing 400, a second housing 500, and a connecting belt 300, which connects the first housing 400 and the second housing 500. Both the first housing 400 and the second housing 500 are rigid shells, while the connecting belt 300 is a flexible belt, such as a braided belt. The connecting belt 300 is telescopic.
[0102] The connecting strap assembly 10 is equipped with a pressure detection element 700, which can sense the force exerted by the head on the connecting strap 300 and determine the tightness of the connecting strap 300 when worn.
[0103] As shown in Figures 4, 6, and 7, the first adjustment structure 100 includes a drive unit 120 and a first winding wheel 110. The drive unit 120 includes a motor 122 and a reducer 124. The first adjustment structure 100 is located in the first housing 400. The output shaft of the motor 122 drives the first winding wheel 110 to rotate. When the first winding wheel 110 rotates, the elastic rope 310 winds around it, thereby changing the length of the elastic rope 310 within the connecting belt 300 to adjust the tension. The first winding wheel 110 is provided with a first limiting part 130, which limits the rotation angle of the first winding wheel 110.
[0104] As shown in Figures 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12, the second adjustment structure 200 includes a second winding wheel 220, an elastic reset member 230, a fixing part 210, an end cap 250, and a guide wheel 240. The ends of the first elastic rope 310a and the second elastic rope 310b are fixed to the second winding wheel 220 by welding and / or locking. When the elastic rope 310 is stretched, the force is transmitted to the second winding wheel 220, causing it to rotate. The fixing part 210 includes a central shaft.
[0105] One end of the elastic reset member 230 is mounted on a groove in the central shaft, and the other end is mounted on a groove in the second winding wheel 220. The central shaft is fixedly mounted on the second housing 500. When the elastic rope 310 pulls the second winding wheel 220, the second winding wheel 220 rotates counterclockwise around the central shaft. At this time, one end of the elastic reset member 230 connected to the second winding wheel 220 moves, while the other end of the elastic reset member 230 remains fixed. The elastic reset member 230 is compressed, which creates resistance to the rotation of the second winding wheel 220, limiting the further stretching of the elastic rope 310.
[0106] Wearable device 60 can be worn normally even when it is not powered on. In the power-off state, simply pull the connecting strap 300 manually. At this time, the motor 122 cannot provide driving force, and the first winding wheel 110 can be easily pulled all the way down. The elastic rope 310 wound on the first winding wheel 110 is completely released, and there is no tendency for it to return to its original position. Due to the rebound force of the elastic reset member 230, the tension on the second winding wheel 220 determines the length of the released elastic rope 310. The "not powered on" state is the power-off state.
[0107] When wearing the wearable device 60, the connecting strap 300 is manually stretched to a length that allows the head to fit inside. At this point, the pulling force of the hand is greater than the elastic force of the elastic reset member 230 at that length. When the wearable device 60 is placed on the head and the hand is released, the elastic force of the elastic reset member 230 will drive the second winding wheel 220 to reset due to the disappearance of the pulling force, thus tightening the connecting strap 300.
[0108] When the wearable device 60 is powered off, the tightening force of the connecting strap 300 relies solely on the rebound force of the elastic reset member 230, which ensures that the wearable device 60 does not detach. After power-on, the pressure detection member 700 on the connecting strap assembly 10 detects the tightness of the connecting strap 300 and further automatically adjusts the tightness via the motor 122.
[0109] After the device is worn, the driving force of motor 122 remains unchanged.
[0110] When the wearable device 60 suddenly loses power, the driving force of the motor 122 disappears, but the elastic restoring force of the elastic reset member 230 still ensures that the wearable device 60 does not detach.
[0111] When the wearable device 60 is powered on, the connecting strap 300 is manually pulled open and placed on the user's head. Once the wearable device 60 detects that the eyes are in a normal position, it controls the motor 122 to tighten the connecting strap 300 until it reaches the desired position. Optionally, the set threshold in the wearable device 60 can be changed to set a preferred tightness. The tightness of the connecting strap 300 can also be further adjusted through the software interface or other buttons. When the wearable device 60 is powered on, it is in a ready-to-wear state, and the motor 122 will have a relatively small holding force, allowing the connecting strap 300 to be easily pulled open. The wearable device 60 determines that it is worn once the eyes are in a normal position. The desired position refers to reaching the set threshold of the pressure detection element 700.
[0112] The holding force of motor 122 only tightens the connecting strap 300. Therefore, even with the holding force of motor 122 unchanged, the wearing position and angle can be adjusted by manually pulling the connecting strap 300. When the wearable device 60 is detected to be powered off, or when the user inputs a command to remove the device, the torque of motor 122 will be immediately released. At this time, the connecting strap 300 can be pulled open to remove the wearable device 60. Here, the torque of motor 122 refers to its holding force.
[0113] Optionally, an uninstall button 900 can be provided on the wearable device 60. Optionally, a software interface button can be provided on the wearable device 60.
[0114] The wearable device 60 of this application includes AR (Augmented Reality) devices, VR (Virtual Reality) devices, and MR (Mixed Reality) devices, etc., which will not be listed here. The wearable device 60 has an electrically driven automatic adjustment function for the tension of the connecting strap 300.
[0115] The elastic cord 310 is an elastic body capable of transmitting tension and is soft in texture. The elastic return element 230 includes a spring, tension spring, torsion spring, and spring, etc., which will not be listed here. The elastic return element 230 is connected to the second winding reel 220 and provides a restoring force to the elastic cord 310. There can be one or more elastic cords 310.
[0116] The elastic cord 310 of the connecting belt 300 is adjusted. One end of the elastic cord 310 is indirectly connected to the elastic reset member 230 via the second winding wheel 220. When the wearable device 60 is worn, the elastic cord 310 extends, and the elastic reset member 230 tightens the elastic cord 310, thus providing initial pre-pressure to the wearer. The other end of the elastic cord 310 is connected to the drive unit 120 via the first winding wheel 110. The motor 122 rotates forward and backward to drive the first winding wheel 110 to rotate forward and backward, thereby changing the effective length of the elastic cord 310. Based on the tension provided by the elastic reset member 230, the tension of the connecting belt 300 is further adjusted to achieve the function of automatically adjusting the tension of the connecting belt 300. The first winding wheel 110 is provided with a first limiting part 130, which is used to limit the rotation angle of the first winding wheel 110 and has the function of constraining the stroke of the motor 122. The drive unit 120 is the motor 122.
[0117] Optionally, the device body 600 is located between the first adjustment structure 100 and the second adjustment structure 200.
[0118] Optionally, both the first adjustment structure 100 and the second adjustment structure 200 are located directly behind the user's head.
[0119] Optionally, one of an angle sensor 800 and an encoder may be installed near the motor 122 to obtain the output state of the motor 122. The output state includes, but is not limited to, the rotation angle.
[0120] Optionally, a pressure detection element 700 can be placed inside the connecting strap 300. The pressure detection element 700 is used to detect pressure and obtain information on the tightness of the strap, so as to drive the motor 122 to automatically adjust the tightness of the connecting strap 300.
[0121] In some embodiments of this application, the drive unit 120 of the control connection strap assembly 10 is operated when the wearable device 60 is in a wearing state.
[0122] In this embodiment, the wearing status of the wearable device 60 is detected. If the wearing status is "worn," that is, it is determined that the user has worn the wearable device 60. At this time, the drive unit 120 of the connecting strap assembly 10 is activated. The drive unit 120 adjusts the length of the portion of the elastic cord located between the first adjustment structure 100 and the second adjustment structure 200, that is, it automatically adjusts the tightness of the connecting strap to ensure the user can effectively wear the wearable device 60. In other words, the wearable device 60 has an automatic connecting strap tension adjustment function; the user only needs to wear the wearable device 60 to automatically adjust the tension of the connecting strap by controlling the drive unit 120 of the connecting strap assembly 10. This setting simplifies the wearing steps of the wearable device 60, reduces the difficulty of wearing the wearable device 60, improves the automation level of the product, and enhances the product's usability.
[0123] In some embodiments of this application, controlling the drive unit 120 of the connecting strap assembly 10 to operate specifically includes: controlling the drive unit 120 to operate based on the pressure value received from the pressure sensor 700 of the wearable device 60; and / or controlling the drive unit 120 to operate in response to an adjustment input.
[0124] In this embodiment, the tension of the connecting strap is determined based on the pressure value received from the pressure sensor 700 of the wearable device 60, and the drive unit 120 is controlled accordingly to achieve automatic adjustment of the tension of the connecting strap.
[0125] For example, when a user wants to adjust the tension of the connecting strap, the drive unit 120 is controlled to operate in response to the user's adjustment input, so as to adjust the tension of the connecting strap according to the user's selection. That is, the wearable device 60 has the functions of automatically adjusting the tension of the connecting strap and manually adjusting the tension of the connecting strap. This enriches the functionality of the wearable device 60 and can meet the diverse usage needs of users.
[0126] Optionally, the pressure sensor 700 of the wearable device 60 detects the pressure value at preset time intervals. The drive unit 120 is controlled to operate based on the detection result received from the pressure sensor 700. For example, when the pressure value detected by the pressure sensor 700 is greater than a preset value, the drive unit 120 is controlled to operate.
[0127] In some embodiments of this application, when the wearable device 60 switches from an unworn state to a worn state, the motor 122 of the control drive unit 120 operates at a preset value; when the wearable device 60 switches from a worn state to an unworn state, the control drive unit 120 stops operating.
[0128] In this embodiment, when the wearable device 60 switches from an unworn state to a worn state, that is, when the worn state is in the "ready to wear" state, the motor 122 of the control drive unit 120 operates at a preset value. Specifically, when the wearable device 60 is powered on and the user is not wearing the wearable device 60, the motor 122 of the control drive unit 120 operates at a preset value so that the motor 122 is in a state of low holding force. In this way, the user can easily pull open the connecting strap manually, thus meeting the user's need to easily put on the wearable device 60 later.
[0129] In this embodiment, when the wearable device 60 switches from a worn state to a non-worn state, that is, when the worn state is unworn, the control drive unit 120 stops working. Then, the wearable device 60 can be removed by manually stretching the connecting strap to extend the elastic cord. If the control drive unit 120 does not stop working when the wearable device 60 switches from a worn state to a non-worn state, the motor 122 will be under significant holding force, making it impossible for the user to effectively stretch the connecting strap and easily remove the wearable device 60.
[0130] In some embodiments of this application, a control method for a wearable device is provided. This control method is applied to the wearable device in any of the above embodiments. Figure 14 shows a flowchart of the control method for a wearable device provided in an embodiment of this application. As shown in Figure 14, the control method for the wearable device includes:
[0131] Step 1402: Detect the wearing status of the wearable device;
[0132] Step 1404: When the wearing state is "worn", control the drive unit of the connecting strap assembly to operate.
[0133] In the embodiments of this application, the steps of the control method for wearable devices are defined.
[0134] The system detects the wearing status of the wearable device. When the wearing status is confirmed as "worn," meaning the user is wearing the wearable device, the drive unit of the connecting strap assembly is activated. This drive unit adjusts the length of the portion of the elastic cord located between the first and second adjustment structures, automatically adjusting the tightness of the connecting strap to ensure the user can effectively wear the wearable device. In other words, the wearable device has an automatic connecting strap tension adjustment function; the user simply needs to wear the device to automatically adjust the tension of the connecting strap by controlling the drive unit of the connecting strap assembly. This feature simplifies the wearing process, reduces the difficulty of wearing the wearable device, increases the automation level of the product, and enhances its usability.
[0135] In some embodiments of this application, the step of controlling the operation of the drive unit of the connecting strap assembly specifically includes: controlling the operation of the drive unit based on the pressure value received from the pressure detection element of the wearable device; and / or controlling the operation of the drive unit in response to an adjustment input.
[0136] In this embodiment of the application, the steps for controlling the operation of the drive unit of the connecting belt assembly are further defined.
[0137] Optionally, the tension of the connecting strap is determined based on the pressure value received from the pressure sensor of the wearable device, and the drive unit is controlled accordingly to achieve automatic adjustment of the tension of the connecting strap.
[0138] Optionally, when the user wants to adjust the tension of the connecting strap, the drive unit is activated in response to the user's adjustment input to adjust the tension of the connecting strap according to the user's selection. That is, the wearable device has both automatic and manual adjustment functions for the connecting strap tension. This enriches the functionality of the wearable device and can meet diverse user needs.
[0139] In some embodiments of this application, the control method for a wearable device further includes: when the wearable state is to be worn, controlling the motor of the drive unit to operate at a preset value.
[0140] In this embodiment of the application, the steps of the control method for the wearable device are further defined.
[0141] When the wearable device is in the "ready to wear" state, the motor of the control drive unit operates at a preset value. Specifically, when the wearable device is powered on and the user is not wearing it, the motor of the control drive unit operates at a preset value to keep the motor in a state of low holding force. This allows the user to easily pull open the connecting strap manually, thus meeting the need for easy wearing of the wearable device later.
[0142] In some embodiments of this application, the control method for a wearable device further includes: when the wearing state is unwearing, the control drive unit stops working.
[0143] In this embodiment of the application, the steps of the control method for the wearable device are further defined.
[0144] When the device is in the "unworn" state, the control drive unit stops working. The elastic cord can then be stretched manually by pulling the connecting strap to remove the wearable device. If the control drive unit does not stop working when the device is in the "unworn" state, the motor will be under significant holding force, preventing the user from effectively stretching the connecting strap and easily removing the wearable device.
[0145] In some embodiments of this application, a control device 1500 for a wearable device is provided. This control device 1500 is applied to the wearable device in any of the above embodiments. Figure 15 shows a structural block diagram of the control device 1500 for a wearable device provided in an embodiment of this application. As shown in Figure 15, the control device 1500 for the wearable device includes:
[0146] Detection module 1502 is used to detect the wearing status of wearable devices;
[0147] The control module 1504 is used to control the operation of the drive unit of the connecting strap assembly when the wear state is "worn".
[0148] The control device 1500 of the wearable device in this application embodiment includes a detection module 1502 and a control module 1504.
[0149] The detection module 1502 detects the wearing status of the wearable device. If the wearing status is "worn," it confirms that the user is wearing the wearable device. At this time, the control module 1504 controls the drive unit of the connecting strap assembly to adjust the length of the portion of the elastic cord located between the first and second adjustment structures. This automatically adjusts the tightness of the connecting strap to ensure the user can effectively wear the wearable device. In other words, the wearable device has an automatic connecting strap tension adjustment function; the user only needs to wear the device to automatically adjust the tension of the connecting strap by controlling the drive unit of the connecting strap assembly. This simplifies the wearing process, reduces the difficulty of wearing the wearable device, increases the automation level of the product, and improves its usability.
[0150] In some embodiments of this application, the control module 1504 is specifically used to control the drive unit to operate based on the pressure value received from the pressure sensor of the wearable device; and / or to control the drive unit to operate in response to an adjustment input.
[0151] In this embodiment of the application, the function of the control module 1504 is further defined.
[0152] Optionally, the tension of the connecting strap is determined based on the pressure value received from the pressure sensor of the wearable device, and the drive unit is controlled accordingly to achieve automatic adjustment of the tension of the connecting strap.
[0153] Optionally, when the user wants to adjust the tension of the connecting strap, the drive unit is activated in response to the user's adjustment input to adjust the tension of the connecting strap according to the user's selection. That is, the wearable device has both automatic and manual adjustment functions for the connecting strap tension. This enriches the functionality of the wearable device and can meet diverse user needs.
[0154] In some embodiments of this application, the control module 1504 is also used to control the motor of the drive unit to operate at a preset value when the wear state is "to be worn".
[0155] In this embodiment of the application, the function of the control module 1504 is further defined.
[0156] When the wearable device is in the "ready to wear" state, the motor of the control drive unit operates at a preset value. Specifically, when the wearable device is powered on and the user is not wearing it, the motor of the control drive unit operates at a preset value to keep the motor in a state of low holding force. This allows the user to easily pull open the connecting strap manually, thus meeting the need for easy wearing of the wearable device later.
[0157] In some embodiments of this application, the control module 1504 is further configured to control the drive unit to stop working when the wearing state is unwearing. In embodiments of this application, the function of the control module 1504 is further defined.
[0158] When the device is in the "unworn" state, the control drive unit stops working. The elastic cord can then be stretched manually by pulling the connecting strap to remove the wearable device. If the control drive unit does not stop working when the device is in the "unworn" state, the motor will be under significant holding force, preventing the user from effectively stretching the connecting strap and easily removing the wearable device.
[0159] The control device for the wearable device in the embodiments of this application can be the wearable device itself, or a component in the wearable device, such as an integrated circuit or a chip.
[0160] The control device for the wearable device in this application embodiment can be a device with an operating system. This operating system can be Android, iOS, or other possible operating systems; this application embodiment does not specifically limit the specific operating system used.
[0161] The control device for the wearable device provided in this application embodiment can realize the various processes implemented in the above method embodiments, and will not be described again here to avoid repetition.

[0163] Optionally, this application embodiment also provides a wearable device. FIG16 shows a structural block diagram of the wearable device according to an embodiment of this application. As shown in FIG16, the wearable device 1600 includes a processor 1602, a memory 1604, and a program or instructions stored in the memory 1604 and executable on the processor 1602. When the program or instructions are executed by the processor 1602, they implement the various processes of the control method embodiment of the wearable device described above and can achieve the same technical effect. To avoid repetition, they will not be described again here.
[0164] It should be noted that the wearable devices in the embodiments of this application include the aforementioned mobile wearable devices and non-mobile wearable devices.
[0165] Figure 17 is a schematic diagram of the hardware structure of a wearable device implementing an embodiment of this application. The wearable device 1700 includes, but is not limited to, components such as: a radio frequency unit 1701, a network module 1702, an audio output unit 1703, an input unit 1704, a sensor 1705, a display unit 1706, a user input unit 1707, an interface unit 1708, a memory 1709, and a processor 1710.
[0166] Those skilled in the art will understand that the wearable device 1700 may also include a power supply for powering the various components. This power supply can be logically connected to the processor 1710 through a power management system, thereby enabling functions such as charging, discharging, and power consumption management. The wearable device structure shown in Figure 17 does not constitute a limitation on the wearable device. Wearable devices may include more or fewer components than shown, or combine certain components, or have different component arrangements; these will not be elaborated further here. The power supply includes a battery.
[0167] The processor 1710 is used to detect the wearing status of the wearable device; the processor 1710 is used to control the drive unit of the connecting strap assembly to work when the wearing status is "wearing".
[0168] In this embodiment, the wearing status of the wearable device is detected. When the wearing status is "worn," meaning the user is confirmed to be wearing the wearable device, the drive unit of the connecting strap assembly is activated. This drive unit adjusts the length of the portion of the elastic cord located between the first and second adjustment structures, automatically adjusting the tightness of the connecting strap to ensure the user can effectively wear the wearable device. In other words, the wearable device has an automatic connecting strap tension adjustment function; the user only needs to wear the wearable device to automatically adjust the tension of the connecting strap by controlling the drive unit of the connecting strap assembly. This simplifies the wearing process of the wearable device, reduces the difficulty of wearing it, increases the automation level of the product, and improves its usability.
[0169] The processor 1710 is specifically configured to control the operation of the drive unit based on the pressure value received from the pressure sensor of the wearable device; and / or control the operation of the drive unit in response to an adjustment input.
[0170] In this embodiment of the application, the function of the processor 1710 is further defined.
[0171] Optionally, the tension of the connecting strap is determined based on the pressure value received from the pressure sensor of the wearable device, and the drive unit is controlled accordingly to achieve automatic adjustment of the tension of the connecting strap.
[0172] Optionally, when the user wants to adjust the tension of the connecting strap, the drive unit is activated in response to the user's adjustment input to adjust the tension of the connecting strap according to the user's selection. That is, the wearable device has both automatic and manual adjustment functions for the connecting strap tension. This enriches the functionality of the wearable device and can meet diverse user needs.
[0173] The processor 1710 is also used to control the motor of the drive unit to operate at a preset value when the wearable state is in the ready-to-wear state.
[0174] In this embodiment, the function of processor 1710 is further defined. When the wearable state is "ready to wear," the motor of the drive unit is controlled to operate at a preset value. Specifically, when the wearable device is powered on and the user is not wearing it, the motor of the drive unit is controlled to operate at the preset value, so that the motor is in a state of low holding force. This allows the user to easily pull open the connecting strap manually, thus meeting the need for easy subsequent wearing of the wearable device. Processor 1710 is also used to control the drive unit to stop operating when the wearable state is "undressed." In this embodiment, the function of processor 1710 is further defined.
[0175] When the device is in the "unworn" state, the control drive unit stops working. The elastic cord can then be stretched manually by pulling the connecting strap to remove the wearable device. If the control drive unit does not stop working when the device is in the "unworn" state, the motor will be under significant holding force, preventing the user from effectively stretching the connecting strap and easily removing the wearable device.
[0176] It should be understood that, in this embodiment, the input unit 1704 may include a graphics processing unit (GPU) 17041 and a microphone 17042.

The user input unit 1707 includes at least one of a touch panel 17071 and other input devices 17072. The touch panel 17071 is also called a touch screen. The touch panel 17071 may include a touch detection device and a touch controller. Other input devices 17072 may include, but are not limited to, a physical keyboard, function keys, a trackball, a mouse, and a joystick, which will not be described in detail here.
