Of course, the box cover 230 can open the top opening of the box body 220 by rotating, and the accommodating box 200 comprises two parts (the box body 220 and the box cover 230 respectively) which are matched in a rotating way, and has the characteristics of simple structure and easy realization. In this case, the battery module may be disposed on the case body 220 or the case cover 230, and the specific disposition position of the battery module is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

As described above, the second end of the charging cable 300 can extend out of the accommodating cavity or retract into the accommodating cavity through the opening 210, and the charging cable 300 can be accommodated and extended in the accommodating cavity in various ways. In the charging device disclosed in the embodiment of the present application, a winding mechanism 400 may be disposed in the receiving cavity, and the charging cable 300 may be wound around the winding mechanism 400. In a specific working process, the winding mechanism 400 winds or unwinds the charging cable 300 through a winding movement, and in the case that the second end of the charging cable 300 is the first electrical connection portion 310, the movement of the first electrical connection portion 310 into or out of the opening 210 can be assisted by the winding mechanism 400, which certainly facilitates the operation.

Meanwhile, the winding mechanism 400 may wind the charging cable 300 in order, thereby allowing the receiving cavity to receive the charging cable 300 longer. Moreover, the charging cable 300 is wound on the winding mechanism 400, so that the charging cable 300 is more regular after being folded, and the knotting phenomenon caused by the disordered folding of the charging cable 300 in the accommodating cavity can be relieved.

Specifically, one end of the coil spring may be connected to the bracket 410, and the other end of the coil spring may be connected to the winding drum 420, and the coil spring may drive the winding drum 420 to rotate in the winding direction during the elastic contraction process, so as to wind the charging cable 300 on the winding drum 420, and finally wind the charging cable. The coil spring drives the winding drum 420 to rotate towards the paying-off direction in the process of elastic unwinding, so as to realize paying-off. In consideration of the elastic recovery characteristics of the coil spring, in the case where the driving mechanism is the coil spring, the elastic recovery of the coil spring enables the charging cable 300 to be connected to the wearing body 100 with a more appropriate protruding length, avoiding inconvenience to the user due to excessive elongation of the charging cable 300.

In the wearable device disclosed in the embodiment of the present application, the accommodating chamber may further include a placement groove for placing the wearing body 100. Alternatively, the placement groove may be located on a side of the winding drum 420 facing away from the opening 210, so as to avoid the wearing body 100 from adversely affecting the process of winding and unwinding the charging cable 300.
