Wearable Band Locking Structure for Quick Detachment
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing wearable devices face challenges in easily and quickly disassembling the band body and device main body, which is cumbersome and not user-friendly, especially for wrist-worn devices that require frequent style changes to match clothing.
Innovation Solution
A wearable device design featuring a connecting member, device main body, limiting clamping groove, installation groove, and limiting member with a locking and unlocking position, facilitated by magnetic interaction and guiding slopes, allows for easy assembly and disassembly by rotating the limiting member to unlock and snap into place.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Stability of the object's composition
If the band body and device main body are designed for secure connection, then connection stability is improved, but disassembly operation becomes cumbersome
Solution Approach 1:
The connection structure transitions from a static fixed state to a dynamic controllable state. The limiting member can rotate between locking and unlocking positions, allowing the connection to dynamically switch between secure locked state and easy separation state based on user needs
Solution Approach 2:
The magnetic reset member automatically returns the limiting member to the locking position after disassembly operation, and the limiting clamping convex automatically snaps into the limiting clamping groove to secure the connection, reducing the need for manual adjustment and ensuring reliable locking
2Reliability
If a complex locking mechanism is used to secure the band body, then connection reliability is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The magnetic reset function is extracted as a separate reset member that independently provides the returning force, while the limiting member handles the locking and unlocking actions. This separation simplifies the overall mechanism by assigning specific functions to dedicated components
Solution Approach 2:
The magnetic force between the reset member and limiting member acts as an intermediary force to automatically return the limiting member to the locking position, eliminating the need for complex spring mechanisms or manual resetting operations
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
Enables quick and convenient disassembly and assembly of the band body and device main body, improving user experience and stability during wear, especially for wrist-worn devices.
Implementation Method 1
the first magnetic member is interacted with the second magnetic member, so that the limiting member has the tendency to move toward the locking position
