AI summary

The present disclosure provides a wearable device comprising a housing assembly, an interface assembly, and a control board assembly. The housing assembly includes a connection port. The interface assembly includes a wiring end and an interface end opposite to each other, the interface assembly is disposed within the housing assembly in a manner that the interface end faces the connection port, and the interface assembly is connected to an inner wall of the housing assembly. The control board assembly is disposed within the housing assembly and is connected to the wiring end through a wire assembly. By arranging the interface end and the connection port to face and communicate with each other, an external device may be connected to the wearable device in a plug-in manner through the interface assembly, thereby supporting functions such as device debugging, system upgrades, and adjustment of operating modes and parameters. Meanwhile, by connecting the interface assembly to the housing assembly, the housing assembly may be directly used as an installation carrier for the interface assembly, which not only fully utilizes the structure and internal space of the housing assembly, but also facilitates miniaturization and weight reduction of the wearable device, and facilitates disassembly and maintenance of the wearable device.
