As shown in fig. 1 to 16, the present application proposes a wearable device that can be worn on a human body, including a hearing aid 1 and a wearable electronic device.

As shown in fig. 2 and 3, the hearing aid 1 may be, for example, a hearing aid or an appliance with hearing aid function, and includes a housing 10, a first charging assembly and a first battery 12 electrically connected to the first charging assembly, where the first charging assembly and the first battery 12 are both located in the housing 10, and the first charging assembly is at least partially exposed to the housing 10 so as to be docked with an external charging device.

The wearable electronic device comprises a housing component 2, a second charging component and a second battery 5.

As shown in fig. 4 to 7, the housing assembly 2 is provided with a housing compartment 20 having one end communicating with the outside, and the hearing aid 1 is removably provided in the housing compartment 20, and fig. 7 shows a state in which the hearing aid 1 is placed in the housing compartment 20. The housing assembly 2 is arranged to be worn on the human body, for example on the wrist, arm, neck, head, waist or legs etc. Preferably, the housing assembly 2 is configured to be worn on the wrist of a person, as shown in fig. 8, and includes a wristband 29 to facilitate the wearing of the housing assembly 2 on the wrist. Thus, when the hearing aid 1 is accommodated in the accommodating bin 20, the hearing aid can be conveniently carried along with the shell assembly 2, and when the hearing aid is required to be used, the hearing aid can also be conveniently taken out of the shell assembly 2.

The second charging assembly is connected to the housing assembly 2 and at least partially located in the receiving compartment 20, and when the hearing aid 1 is located in the receiving compartment 20, the first charging assembly and the second charging assembly cooperate to charge the first battery 12. When the charging is performed, the first charging assembly and the second charging assembly are electrically connected, for example, the electric conduction can be realized through direct contact of the conductors, and the electric connection can also be realized through a wireless induction mode at a certain distance. The second charging assembly is electrically connected to the second battery 5, and the first battery 12 of the hearing aid 1 can be charged with the electric power of the second battery 5. When the hearing aid 1 is located in the accommodating bin 20, the second battery 5 charges the first battery 12, that is, the hearing aid 1 is more convenient to charge, and can move along with a human body while keeping charging, so that the hearing aid 1 does not need to be charged in a certain fixed place, and is not easy to influence use due to forgetting to charge, and in addition, the problem of forgetting to carry the hearing aid 1 is not easy to occur because the housing assembly 2 is worn on the human body, and the hearing aid 1 can be taken out and used in time when needed.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 2 and 3, the first charging assembly includes a first conductive pin 11 partially exposed from the housing 10, and it should be noted that the first conductive pin 11 does not have to protrude from the housing 10, and only needs to be able to access the first conductive pin 11 from the outside. As shown in fig. 4 and 5, the second charging assembly includes a second conductive pin 40 partially exposed in the housing 20, and when the hearing aid 1 is located in the housing 20, referring to fig. 7, the second conductive pin 40 abuts against the first conductive pin 11 to achieve electrical conduction, so that the power of the second battery 5 can be transferred to the first battery 12 through the second conductive pin 40 and the first conductive pin 11 to charge the first battery 12. Preferably, the first conductive pin 11 is recessed inside the housing 10, the second conductive pin 40 protrudes into the accommodating bin 20, and the second conductive pin 40 can be inserted into the housing 10 to abut against the first conductive pin 11, and meanwhile, the wearing and use of the hearing aid 1 are not affected.

As a preferred embodiment, the first conductive PIN 11 and the second conductive PIN 40 are spring PIN PINs, or at least one of them is a spring PIN.

The first conductive pins 11 and the second conductive pins 40 are the same in number and correspond in position. In some embodiments, the second charging assembly includes two second conductive pins 40, one of the second conductive pins 40 is configured to provide a charging voltage, and the other second conductive pin 40 is grounded, such that a charging voltage difference is formed between the two second conductive pins 40. Preferably, when the hearing aid 1 receives a charging signal, it automatically remains in a powered off state to increase the charging efficiency.

As a preferred embodiment, as shown in fig. 4 and 5, the second charging assembly includes three second conductive pins 40, and includes one second conductive pin 40 for detecting whether the hearing aid 1 is in place, in addition to the two second conductive pins 40, the second conductive pin 40 being electrically connected to the main control circuit board 270 of the wearable electronic device, and switching from low level to high level (or from high level to low level) when it is in contact with the first conductive pin 11 of the hearing aid 1, and by detecting a change in the high-low level signal on the second conductive pin 40, a determination of the placement and detection of the hearing aid 1 can be made. Preferably, when it is detected that the hearing aid 1 is not put in, the second conductive pin 40 for supplying the charging voltage is disconnected from the second battery 5 to prevent external foreign objects from entering to cause a short circuit, and when it is detected that the hearing aid 1 is put in, the second conductive pin 40 for supplying the charging voltage is conducted with the second battery 5 to charge the hearing aid 1. Preferably, three second conductive pins 40 are arranged in a certain direction and parallel to each other, and the second conductive pin 40 for detecting whether the hearing aid 1 is put in place is located between the other two second conductive pins 40. In the embodiment shown in fig. 4 and 5, three second conductive pins 40 are each disposed horizontally and aligned in the vertical direction (i.e., the thickness direction Z of the housing assembly 2).

It will be appreciated that the first battery 12 may be charged by wireless charging in addition to charging by direct contact of the first conductive pin 11 and the second conductive pin 40. In some embodiments, the second charging assembly includes a wireless charging transmitting end, the first charging assembly includes a wireless charging receiving end, and when the hearing aid 1 is located in the housing bin 20, the wireless charging transmitting end and the wireless charging receiving end are attached or close together, and the two are matched to charge the first battery 12 in a wireless charging manner. The wireless charging technology belongs to the prior art, for example, the wireless charging transmitting terminal may include a frequency converter and a power output coil, the direct current of the second battery 5 is converted into alternating current by the frequency converter and is output to the power output coil, the wireless charging receiving terminal includes a power receiving coil and a rectifying circuit, the power receiving coil can generate an induced current according to a changed electromagnetic field generated by the power output coil, and the rectifying circuit converts the induced current into direct current to charge the first battery 12.

The hearing aid 1 and the wearable device are wirelessly connected, specifically, as shown in fig. 3 and 9, the hearing aid 1 includes a first wireless communication module 14, a circuit board 15 and a microphone 16 disposed in the housing 10, the first wireless communication module 14, the microphone 16 and the first battery 12 are all electrically connected with the circuit board 15, the wearable electronic device includes a main control circuit board 270 and a second wireless communication module 271, and the first wireless communication module 14 and the second wireless communication module 271 are communicatively connected. In this way, the hearing aid 1 may exchange data with the main control circuit board 270, for example, may play an audio file sent through the main control circuit board 270 (the audio file may be stored in a storage module on the main control circuit board 270 or obtained by the main control circuit board 270 through a network or detected by a sensor of a wearable device in real time), or, for example, when the main control circuit board 270 has a call function, may also communicate with an external mobile phone, a smart watch or other communication devices through the main control circuit board 270. The microphone 16 is used for picking up a voice signal of a user so as to facilitate a call, and a voice command can be given to the main control circuit board 270 through the voice signal picked up by the microphone 16. The first wireless communication module 14 and the second wireless communication module 271 are preferably bluetooth modules.

The placement of the hearing aid 1 within the housing assembly 2 may vary. Referring to fig. 5, the housing assembly 2 has a bottom surface 240 that contacts the wrist when worn, a top surface 280 that faces away from the wrist, and an outer peripheral surface 241 that is located between the bottom surface 240 and the top surface 280. In some embodiments, the receiving compartment 20 is disposed on the top surface 280 such that the hearing aid 1 is plugged into the housing assembly 2 from the top of the housing assembly 2. In other embodiments, the receiving compartment 20 is provided on the outer circumferential surface 241 and the hearing aid 1 is plugged into the housing assembly 2 from the side of the housing assembly 2. It will be appreciated that the housing compartment 20 is preferably formed in the outer peripheral surface 241 of the housing assembly 2 facing away from the wristband 29.

In some embodiments, the number of hearing aids 1 is one. In other embodiments, the number of hearing aids 1 is two, so that both ears can use the hearing aid 1 for more comfortable wear. When the number of the hearing aids 1 is two, the housing assembly 2 is provided with two accommodating chambers 20, and one hearing aid 1 is accommodated in each accommodating chamber 20. The two accommodating chambers 20 may be disposed on the top surface 280 of the housing assembly 2, or one accommodating chamber 20 may be disposed on the top surface 280 of the housing assembly 2, and the other accommodating chamber 20 may be disposed on the outer circumferential surface 241 of the housing assembly 2, or may be disposed on the outer circumferential surface 241 of the housing assembly 2, for example, on the same side or opposite sides of the outer circumferential surface 241, and preferably, the two accommodating chambers 20 disposed on opposite sides of the outer circumferential surface 241 are symmetrically disposed, so that the two hearing aids 1 may be simultaneously pressed to pop up, which is more convenient to operate.

As shown in fig. 6, in the embodiment shown in fig. 6, two storage bins 20 are respectively disposed on opposite sides of the outer peripheral surface 241, and are symmetrically disposed. The two receiving compartments 20 are in communication, which makes the arrangement of the two hearing aids 1 in the housing assembly 2 more compact, thereby saving space of the housing assembly 2 in the length direction X. In other embodiments, the two receptacles 20 may be non-communicating, such as by a panel wall or other component isolation arrangement.

As shown in fig. 2 and 3, the hearing aid 1 comprises a head 13, the head 13 being intended to be inserted into the auditory canal of a person, the head 13 typically being a flexible earcap for comfort in the ear. The housing 10 has a laterally convex structure with respect to the head 13, which is laterally convex in a direction perpendicular to the axis 13a of the head 13, and the projection of the first conductive pin 11 along the axis 13a of the head 13 is located outside the head 13. The receiving compartment 20 comprises a first portion 200 for receiving the head 13 and a second portion 201 for receiving the housing 10, the first portion 200 having a smaller cross-sectional dimension than the second portion 201, such that the hearing aid 1 can be restrained by the inner wall of the second portion 201. The second conductive pin 40 is exposed out of the second portion 201, and the first conductive pin 11 and the second conductive pin 40 are both disposed along the axis 13a of the head 13, so that the second conductive pin 40 can avoid the contact between the head 13 and the first conductive pin 11 conveniently when the hearing aid 1 is plugged into the accommodating bin 20 along the axis 13a of the head 13, and the contact reliability is easier to ensure. As a preferred embodiment, the axial direction of the head 13 coincides with the longitudinal direction X of the housing assembly 2.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 10, the wearable electronic device further includes a housing sleeve 6 disposed within the housing compartment 20, the housing sleeve 6 being slidably coupled with the housing assembly 2. The housing sleeve 6 is movable along the insertion direction of the hearing aid 1, as shown in fig. 11, the housing sleeve 6 comprises a laterally protruding guide 62, the guide 62 extending along the insertion direction, further referring to fig. 4 and 5, a guide hole 220 communicating with the housing compartment 20 is provided inside the housing assembly 2, the guide hole 220 being adapted to the shape of the guide 62 for guiding the movement of the housing sleeve 6 along a straight line. In the embodiment shown in fig. 11, the guide 62 includes a plate portion 620 and a column portion 621 connected to the outside of the plate portion 620, and the diameter of the column portion 621 is greater than the thickness of the plate portion 620 to prevent the guide 62 from being separated from the guide hole 220. The hearing aid 1 is partially positioned in the housing 6, and when the hearing aid 1 is inserted into the housing 6, the position is limited, deflection and inclination are not easy to occur, so that better position accuracy can be maintained. As shown in fig. 10 to 12, the accommodating sleeve 6 is provided with a avoiding hole 60 through which the second conductive needle 40 passes, and when the hearing aid 1 is positioned in the accommodating sleeve 6, the avoiding hole 60 corresponds to the position of the first conductive needle 11 at the same time, so that the first conductive needle 11 and the second conductive needle 40 can reliably abut. When the hearing aid 1 is plugged into the housing sleeve 6, the hearing aid 1 can be reliably guided by the housing sleeve 6 to enter the housing bin 20 along the plugging direction, so that the position of the hearing aid 1 is more accurate.

As shown in fig. 6, in order to prevent the housing sleeve 6 from being separated from the housing compartment 20, the housing assembly 2 is formed with a flange 25 extending into the housing compartment 20, at least a portion of the flange 25 being located on the path of movement of the housing sleeve 6 to define the housing sleeve 6 within the housing compartment 20. Preferably, the flange 25 is located at the open end of the housing 20 and is adapted to the contour of the housing 10, so that when the hearing aid 1 is housed in the housing 20, the housing 10 is substantially fitted to the flange 25, and the sealing performance is better.

Referring to fig. 2, 3 and 10, in order to further improve the accuracy of the position between the receiving sleeve 6 and the hearing aid 1, the head 13 of the hearing aid 1 is provided with a recess 130, the receiving sleeve 6 includes a positioning boss 61 adapted to the recess 130, and when the hearing aid 1 is inserted into the receiving sleeve 6, the positioning boss 61 is inserted into the recess 130, so that the position of the hearing aid 1 is reliably defined, and can be inserted into the receiving chamber 20 along with the insertion direction of the receiving sleeve 6.

It will be appreciated that the position of the hearing aid 1 in the receiving compartment 20 may be maintained, for example, by elastic or frictional forces between the housing 1 and the shell assembly 2, thereby preventing the hearing aid 1 from being too easily detached from the shell assembly 2, or that locking and unlocking means may be provided for locking and unlocking the hearing aid 1, the position of which is fixed and cannot be removed when the hearing aid 1 is fixed in the shell assembly 2 by the locking means. After the unlocking mechanism is unlocked, the hearing aid 1 can be taken out from the housing compartment 20.

In some embodiments, the hearing aid 1 is automatically ejected when unlocked such that the tail of its housing 10 is located outside the housing assembly 2. Since the receiving sleeve 6 encloses the head 13 of the hearing aid 1 and a portion of the housing 10, and does not enclose the tail of the housing 10 (opposite end from the head 13), a finger can easily grip the tail of the hearing aid 1 to remove the hearing aid 1 when the tail of the hearing aid 1 is exposed to the housing assembly 2.

As shown in fig. 10, as a preferred embodiment, the wearable electronic device comprises a snap switch 64 connected to the housing assembly 2, the snap switch 64 comprising a locking member 63, the locking member 63 having a locked position for securing the hearing aid 1 and an unlocked position for releasing the hearing aid 1, the locking member 63 being closer to the opening of the receiving compartment 20 than in the locked position in the unlocked position, such that the hearing aid 1 is partly ejected to the outside of the housing assembly 2. Fig. 13 and 14 show schematic views of the locking member 63 in the locked position and the unlocked position, respectively, when the locking member 63 is in the unlocked position (refer to fig. 14), depressing the locking member 63 will retract a certain distance, deflect inward and switch to the locked position (refer to fig. 13), depressing the locking member 63 again, and after the pressing force is lost, the locking member 63 will be ejected and deflected outward by an elastic member (not shown) in the snap switch 64, thereby switching to the unlocked position (refer to fig. 14). The locking member 63 is depressed by pushing the hearing aid 1, thereby locking the hearing aid 1 by the locking member 63 or unlocking the hearing aid 1. The particular locking and unlocking structure of the snap switch 64 is conventional and will not be described in detail herein.

As shown in fig. 12, the locking member 63 includes a first hook 630 and a second hook 631 that are disposed at intervals, the first hook 630 abuts against the outer surface of the accommodating sleeve 6, the housing 10 is provided with a slot 100, and the second hook 631 can be locked into the slot 100. When the hearing aid 1 is pushed inwards, the hearing aid 1 drives the accommodating sleeve 6 to move, the accommodating sleeve 6 presses the first clamping hook 630 to switch the locking piece 63 to the locking position, and in the action process, the second clamping hook 631 deflects towards the side where the hearing aid 1 is located and is clamped into the clamping groove 100, so that the position of the hearing aid 1 is limited. When the hearing aid 1 is pushed inwards again, the accommodating sleeve 6 presses down the locking piece 63, after the hearing aid 1 loses the pressing force, the locking piece 63 pushes the accommodating sleeve 6 and the hearing aid 1 to pop out under the action of the elastic piece, the locking piece is switched to the unlocking position, in the action process, the second clamping hook 631 deflects outwards and is separated from the clamping groove 100, and at the moment, the tail part of the hearing aid 1 is positioned outside the shell assembly 2, so that the hearing aid can be taken out conveniently.

It should be understood that the housing 6 is not necessary, and the housing 6 may not be disposed in the housing 20, and the locking member 63 may be directly driven by the hearing aid 1 to switch positions.

As shown in fig. 15 and 16, in some embodiments, the outer case assembly 2 includes an inner case 22 and an upper case 23 and a lower case 24 that fit around the inner case 22 from both sides, specifically, the upper case 23 and the lower case 24 fit around the inner case 22 from both upper and lower sides, and form two outwardly protruding wristband connecting portions 290 at both ends in the width direction Y of the outer case assembly 2, and the wristband 29 is connected to the wristband connecting portions 290. By arranging the housing assembly 2 in such a manner that it is connected by a plurality of housings, it is possible to conveniently form a receiving space between the housings, thereby placing components therein.
