Referring to fig. 1-5, the wearable device 10 may include an electronic device 30 and a strap 50 connected to the electronic device 30.

Specifically, as shown in fig. 5-7, the harness 50 may include a strap body 60 and a connector 80. The belt 60 is connected to the connector 80, and the connector 80 is used for connecting to the electronic device 30, so as to connect the belt 60 to the electronic device 30.

The band body 60 may be a band for attaching the electronic device 30 to a wrist, an arm, a waist, or the like of a person, or a band for hanging on a neck, or the like. The material of the belt body 60 may be natural cloth, chemical fiber, leather, metal, or the like. The belt body 60 may be provided with a mechanism for adjusting the length of the belt body 60.

In some embodiments, the band 60 may be a unitary structure, and two connectors 80 are respectively connected to two ends of the band 60, as shown in fig. 7. In other embodiments, as shown in fig. 6, the band 60 may be a segmented structure, that is, the band 60 includes a first band 62 and a second band 64, one end of the first band 62 and one end of the second band 64 are respectively connected to two connectors 80, and the other ends of the first band 62 and the second band 64 may be connected by a connection mechanism, for example, may be detachably connected.

The connectors 80 may be connected to the electronic device 30, for example, two connectors 80 are connected to the belt 60 and are respectively connected to the electronic device 30, for example, two opposite ends of the electronic device 30, so as to connect the belt 60 and the electronic device 30 together, as shown in fig. 4.

The connector 80 may be made of metal or plastic. As shown in fig. 8-10, the connector head 80 may include a main body 82 and a fitting 84 attached to the main body 82.

The body 82 and the fitting 84 may be made of the same material or may be made of different materials. In some embodiments, the body 82 and the fitting 84 may be a unitary structure. In some embodiments, the body 82 and the fitting 84 may be separate elements and may be joined together by welding, adhesive, snap-fit connection, or the like.

Specifically, as shown in fig. 8, the main body 82 has a substantially elongated plate shape. Of course, in other embodiments, the main body 82 may have other shapes, and the present application is not limited thereto.

The tie body 60 is attached to the main body 82. Specifically, the main body 82 includes a first connection portion 81 and a second connection portion 83 connected to each other. The fitting 84 is connected to the first connecting portion 81, and the strap 60 is connected to the second connecting portion 83.

The first connection portion 81 may be substantially thin, and for example, the first connection portion 81 may have an outer contour in a racetrack shape, a rectangular shape, or the like. The first connection portion 81 includes a first connection surface 812 and a second connection surface 814 that are oppositely disposed. The first connection surface 812 and the second connection surface 814 may both be planar.

The second connection portion 83 may be disposed on the first connection surface 812. In some embodiments, the second connection portion 83 may be generally plate-shaped, frame-shaped, or other shapes. The second connection portions 83 (e.g., 83a, 83b, 83c) are described below by way of three examples. It is to be understood that the second connection portion 83 of the present application is not limited to the following three structures.

For example, as shown in fig. 8-10, second connection portion 83a includes a connection seat 832 and an extension portion 834, wherein connection seat 832 is connected to first connection surface 812, and extension portion 834 extends from a side of connection seat 832 facing away from first connection surface 812 toward a direction away from first connection surface 812. In this embodiment, the extension 834 extends from a partial region of the connection seat 832, and the extension 832 is inclined with respect to the first connection surface 812, so that the belt 60 connected to the extension 834 is guided toward the body of the user when the user wears the wearable device 10.

As shown in fig. 11 to 13, the second connecting portion 83b has a plate shape as a whole and is disposed obliquely with respect to the first connecting surface 812 so as to guide the belt body 60 connected to the extending portion 834 toward the body of the user when the user wears the wearable device 10. The plate-shaped second connection portion 83b gradually decreases in thickness in a direction from the first connection surface 812 to a direction away from the first connection surface 812.

As shown in fig. 14 to 16, the second connecting portion 83c has an overall frame shape, and the frame is disposed obliquely with respect to the first connecting surface 812 so as to guide the belt body 60 connected to the extending portion 834 toward the body of the user when the user wears the wearable device 10.

In the above embodiments, the second connecting portion 83 can guide the belt body 60 toward the body of the user when the user wears the wearable device 10, so that the belt body 60 extends along the contour of the body of the user (e.g., the wrist of the user), and an excessive gap is prevented from being formed between the belt body 60 and the human body, so that the wearable device 10 is more fit to the human body, and the wearable device 10 can be stably and firmly attached to the human body, as shown in fig. 4 and 7. It is understood that in other embodiments, the second connecting portion 83b may also extend in a direction perpendicular to the first connecting surface 812, in which case the extending direction of the belt body 60 is also perpendicular to the first connecting surface 812, as shown in fig. 5.

The end faces of the second connecting portions 83(83a, 83b, 83c) far from the first connecting surface 812 in the above embodiments are all smooth curved surfaces, so as to prevent the sharp end faces from damaging the belt body 60 and from injuring the human body. The joints between the second connection portions 83(83a, 83b, 83c) and the first connection portions 81 are smoothly transitioned, so that stress concentration can be reduced, the structure can be more durable, and injury to a human body can be prevented.

The second connecting portion 83 is provided with a connecting structure for connecting with the belt body 60. In some embodiments, the connecting structure may be a through hole 836 provided in the second connecting portion 83, as shown in fig. 9 and 11-12, and the second connecting

portions

83a, 83b are provided with a plurality of through holes 836 for connecting with the band 60 during a molding or pressing manufacturing process. In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 14-15, the connection structure may be a through-slot 838 opened on the second connection portion 83c, and the strap 60 may be passed through the through-slot 838 and wrapped around the second connection portion 83c to connect with the second connection portion 83 c.

The fitting 84 is fixed on the second connecting surface 814 of the first connecting portion 81. The mating member 84 is adapted to be inserted into the electronic device 30 in a first direction to matingly engage a mating portion of the electronic device 30 to connect the strap 60 to the electronic device 30. The connecting head 80 shown in fig. 8, 11 and 14 has two engagement members 84, and in other embodiments, one or more than two engagement members 84 may be provided. When there are a plurality of the engagement members 84, the engagement members 84 are disposed on the second connecting surface 814 at intervals along the second connecting surface 814, and the directions of the engagement members 84 are uniform. Wherein the plurality of engagement members 84 may be equally spaced.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 17, the fitting 84 can include a side 840 and a bevel 842 (also referred to as a first bevel) disposed at an end distal from the body 82, with the recess 85 being disposed between the first bevel 842 and the body 82.

Specifically, the side 840 may extend in a direction perpendicular to the second connection surface 814. The side 840 may include a first end connected to the second connecting surface 814 and a second end connected to the first sloped surface 842. As shown in fig. 18 and 19, the perpendicular projection of the side 840 onto the second connecting surface 814 has a first outer contour 845, which may be circular, oval, racetrack, square, or other shape. Wherein the perpendicular projection is a projection along a direction perpendicular to the second connection surface 814. As shown in fig. 11-12 and 18, if the mating element 84 is generally cylindrical, the first outer profile 845 is circular. As shown in fig. 8-9 and 19, if the mating element 84 is generally flat and cylindrical, the first outer profile 845 may be racetrack-shaped. It will be appreciated that in other embodiments, the sides 840 may also be angled relative to the second connecting surface 814, such as, for example, in a first end to second end direction, the fitting 84 may be generally cone-shaped throughout.

The first slope 842 may be a flat surface or a curved surface, and the angle between the first slope 842 and the first direction may be 30 ° -45 °, for example, 30 °, 35 °, 40 °, or 45 °. The smaller the angle, the less force is required to insert the mating member 84 into the electronic device 30. If the angle is too small, the length of the first inclined surface 842 in the first direction is longer, and the thickness of the fitting 84 where the first inclined surface 842 is located is smaller, which reduces the strength of the fitting 84; at the same time, too small an angle may result in a sharper fitting 84, which may easily damage other components of the wearable device 10 or cause injury to the user. However, if the angle is too large, the force required to insert the mating member 84 into the electronic device 30 is large. Within the above-described angular range, the relationship between the strength required to insert the fitting member 84, the structural strength of the fitting member 84, maintenance of the wearing apparatus 10, and safety of use by the user can be well balanced.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 8-16 and 20, the mating element 84 further includes an end surface 844 distal from the second connecting surface 814. Specifically, the end surface 844 is disposed opposite the second coupling surface 814, and the end surface 844 is coupled to the second end of the side surface 840 and the first bevel 842. The end surface 844 may be planar, as shown in fig. 11-16 and 20; of course, the end surface 844 may be curved to provide a smooth transition between the end surface 844 and the side surface 840, as shown in fig. 8-10, so as to facilitate insertion of the mating member 94 into the mating portion of the electronic device 30. The perpendicular projection of the end surface 844 on the second connecting surface 814 has a second outer contour 847, which second contour 847 may be a sector, as shown in fig. 11 and 18; or racetrack, as shown in fig. 8-9 and 19. It is understood that the second outer contour 847 may also have a circular, oval, or other shape, as this application is not limited thereto. Wherein the second outer contour 847 may fall completely within the first outer contour 845.

In the embodiment shown in fig. 8-13, the end of the fitting 84 distal from the body 82 is generally cone-shaped, i.e., the end of the fitting 84 distal from the body 82 has a decreasing cross-sectional area in a direction away from the body 82, thereby further facilitating insertion of the fitting 84 into the electronic device 30. The end surface of the engagement member 84 is connected to the second end of the side surface 840 via a connection surface 846. In this case, the second outer contour 847 and the first outer contour 845 are spaced apart from each other, as shown in fig. 18 and 19. The connecting surface 846 may be curved to provide smooth transition between the side surface 840 and the end surface 844, as shown in fig. 8-9, so that the engaging member 84 moves more smoothly when inserted into the mounting slot 232, thereby reducing the impact wear between the engaging member 24 and the engaging member 84. It will be appreciated that the attachment surface 846 may also be planar, as shown in fig. 11-13.

In some embodiments, a portion of the second outer profile 847 overlaps a portion of the first outer profile 845 and another portion is spaced apart from each other, as shown in fig. 20 and 21.

As shown in fig. 8-16, a recess 85 is formed on the side of the mating member 84 for mating with the electronic device 30. The opening of the recess 85 and the first inclined surface 842 are located on the same side of the fitting 84.

The recess 85 may be a groove. In some embodiments, the groove extends through the side 840 of the mating element 84 in a direction parallel to the second connection surface 814. As shown in fig. 10, the recess has opposing first and third

inner walls

852, 856 and a second inner wall 854 coupled between the first and third

inner walls

852, 856. The third inner wall 856 is closer to the first bevel 842 than the first inner wall 852. The angle between the second inner wall 854 and the third inner wall 856 may be equal to or less than 90 °, so that the fit between the recess and the electronic device 30 is more reliable, and the connection between the connection head 80 and the electronic device 30 is more stable.

As shown in fig. 17, the recess 85 may be disposed adjacent to the first inclined surface 842, i.e., the third inner wall 856 of the recess 85 is directly connected to the first inclined surface 842. As shown in fig. 12, 13 and 22, the recess 85 and the first inclined surface 842 may be spaced apart from each other, that is, the recess 85 and the first inclined surface 842 are connected by a transition surface 848, and the transition surface 848 may be a flat surface or a curved surface. In some embodiments, the recess 85 is spaced from the body 82, i.e., the side 840 of the mating member 84 extends between the first inner wall 852 and the second connecting surface 814 of the recess 85, as shown in fig. 8-17 and 20, 22. In some embodiments, the recess 85 extends to a first end of the side 840, where the second connection surface 814 acts as a first inner wall 852 of the recess 85, as shown in fig. 23.

In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 24, the recess 85 can also be a through hole having an opening on the same side of the fitting 84 as the first bevel 842.

It should be noted that the plurality of engagement pieces 84 are oriented in the same direction, and the opening directions of the concave portions 85 of the plurality of engagement pieces 84 may be oriented in the same direction.

The electronic device 30 may provide functions such as timing, GPS positioning, motion monitoring, fitness monitoring, and the like. The motion monitoring functions include, for example, altitude measurement, motion step count measurement, motion velocity measurement, and motion acceleration measurement. The physique monitoring functions include, for example, heart rate monitoring, blood oxygen content monitoring, electromyography monitoring, and the like.

In some embodiments, the electronic device 30 may include a housing assembly 20 and electronics disposed within the housing assembly 20. Wherein the electronic device is adapted to provide the various functions described above. The housing assembly 20 may include a housing 22 and a catch 24 disposed on the housing 22.

Top cover 21 is connected to top side 2302, and bottom cover 25 is connected to bottom side 2304. Corners formed at the junctions of the four peripheral sides 2306 of the middle frame 23 are rounded so that the four peripheral sides 2306 of the middle frame 23 smoothly transition therebetween. The junction of four peripheral sides 2306 of middle frame 23 with the outer surface of top case 21 and the junction of four peripheral sides 2306 with the outer surface of bottom case 25 are smooth transitions. In this way, stress concentration can be reduced, enhancing the durability of the structure.

With further reference to fig. 26-28, in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention, a mounting slot 232 opens on the center frame 23, and in some embodiments, the mounting slot 232 may include a first mounting slot 231 and a second mounting slot 233 that communicate. In some embodiments, the first mounting groove 231 and the second mounting groove 233 extend in directions perpendicular to each other.

The first mounting groove 231 has a first opening 2310, a bottom wall 2312 opposite to the first opening 2310, and a groove wall (may also be referred to as a first groove wall 2314) extending in a direction from the first opening 2310 to the bottom wall 2312.

The second mounting groove 233 has a second opening 2330 and a groove wall (also referred to as a second groove wall 2334) extending in a direction from the second opening 2330 to the first mounting groove 231. The second mounting groove 233 extends in the same direction as the channel 252 of the bottom case 25, and the channel 252 of the bottom case 25 communicates with the second mounting groove 233 at the second opening 2330.

The first opening 2310 and the second opening 2330 are respectively disposed on two adjacent side surfaces of the middle frame 23. First opening 2310 is provided in peripheral side surface 2306, and second opening 2330 is provided in bottom side surface 2304. Optionally, a second opening 2330 may also be provided on the top side 2302 of the middle frame 23.

The first and second mounting

grooves

231 and 233 are disposed in such a manner that the first and

second openings

2310 and 2330 are disposed on two adjacent sides, respectively, without extending to the other sides, so that damage to the integrity of the surface of the housing can be reduced. With the above arrangement, when the connection head 80 is connected with the housing assembly 20, the fitting piece 84 of the connection head 80 is inserted into the first mounting groove 231 from the first opening 2310 in the extending direction of the first side wall 2314 toward the bottom wall 2312, that is, the fitting piece 84 is inserted into the first mounting groove 231 in the depth direction of the first mounting groove 231.

The side wall 230 of the middle frame 23 may also be provided with a sink 234. Specifically, an opening of the sinking groove 234 is provided on the outer circumferential side 2306, the first opening 2310 of the first mounting groove 231 is provided at the bottom of the sinking groove 234, and the cross-sectional profile of the sinking groove 234 is greater than the profile of the first opening 2310. While the sink 234 is shown in fig. 26 as being generally race track shaped, in other embodiments, the sink 234 may be circular, oval, square, etc.

The engaging member 24 is movably disposed in the mounting groove 232. When the mating member 84 of the connecting head 80 is inserted into the mounting slot 232, the first inclined surface 842 of the mating member 84 abuts against the engaging member 84, as shown in fig. 31. When the mating member 84 of the connecting head 80 is further inserted into the mounting groove 232, the first inclined surface 842 of the mating member 84 pushes the engaging member 24 to move along the first inclined surface 842, so that the engaging member 24 is displaced. The catch member 24 is displaced to provide clearance for the engagement member 84 to be inserted into the mounting slot 232, as shown in FIG. 32. When the connection head 80 is inserted into the mounting groove 232 to a predetermined position, the click member 24 is restored while being received by the recess 85 of the click member 84 to snap-connect the connection head 80 and the housing assembly 20, as shown in fig. 33. The position at which the fitting member 84 is inserted into the mounting groove 232 and comes into abutment with the engaging piece 24 is defined as a first position, and the position at which the engaging piece 24 is restored and accommodated in the recess 85 is defined as a second position. During the process of the fitting element 84 from the first position to the second position of the mounting groove 232, the engaging element 24 moves and resets to engage with the connecting head 80, so that the housing 22 is connected with the connecting head 80.

After the fitting member 84 of the connecting head 80 is inserted into the second position of the mounting groove 232 along the first direction, by accommodating a part of the engaging member 24 in the recessed portion 85 of the fitting member 84, when the fitting member 84 moves in the first direction, the inner wall of the recessed portion 85 abuts against the engaging member 24, so that the movement of the fitting member 84 is blocked by the engaging member 24, and therefore, the engaging member 24 restricts the movement of the fitting member 84. Conversely, if the engaging member 24 is allowed to move in the first direction, the engaging member 24 abuts against the inner wall of the fitting member 84, and therefore the movement of the engaging member 24 is also blocked by the fitting member 84, and therefore the fitting member 84 also restricts the movement of the engaging member 24. Therefore, when the engaging piece 24 is received by the recessed portion 85 of the engaging piece 84, the engaging piece 24 and the engaging piece 84 are constrained to move in the first direction relative to each other, so that the two are kept in a connected state, thereby achieving engagement therebetween. Due to the engagement between the engaging element 24 and the engaging element 84, the engaging element 84 of the connecting head 80 is locked in the mounting groove 232 of the housing assembly 20 by the engaging element 24, and the connecting head 80 cannot be withdrawn from the mounting groove 232 without changing the engaging state of the engaging element 24 and the engaging element 84, that is, the connecting head 80 is kept in a state of being connected with the housing assembly 20, so that the connecting head 80 is connected with the housing assembly 20 in a snap-fit manner.

When the mating member 84 of the connecting head 80 exits the mounting groove 232, the engaging member 24 is displaced to disengage from the recessed portion 85 of the mating member 84, thereby providing a space for the mating member 84 to exit the mounting groove 232, and at this time, the engaging member 24 is in the state shown in fig. 32.

This application sets up fastener 24 in casing subassembly 20's mounting groove 232 to make fastener 24 can take place to remove and provide the space of dodging when connector 80 inserts or withdraws from mounting groove 232, and reset and with connector 80 block when connector 80 arrives predetermined position, thereby lock connector 80 in mounting groove 232, and then realize casing subassembly 20 and connector 80's connection, make electronic equipment 30's simple structure, and enable the connection between connector 80 and the electronic equipment 30 more reliable. In this way, when the user assembles the connector 80 and the electronic device 30, the user only needs to insert the connector 80 into the electronic device 30, the assembling and disassembling process is simple, labor-saving and quick, and the user experience is improved.

The engaging piece 24 can be returned by the returning piece 26 driving or manually pressing or pulling the engaging piece 24. It should be noted that the returning of the engaging piece 24 may mean that the engaging piece 24 is returned to the original position, and may be an intermediate position in which the engaging piece 24 is not completely returned to the original position.

It is to be understood that the driving force for moving the engaging member 24 may be a force directly or indirectly applied to the engaging member 24 by the user. In some embodiments, when the connecting head 80 is inserted into the mounting groove 232, the engaging member 24 is pushed by the force generated by the first inclined surface 842 on the connecting head 80 to move. It is understood that the detent member 24 may have a bevel (also referred to as the second bevel 248) matching the first bevel 842, but in other embodiments, the detent member 24 may not have a bevel.

The movement of the engaging member 24 can be a linear movement, which defines the moving direction of the engaging member 24 as a second direction, and the second direction is different from the direction of the connector 80 inserted into or withdrawn from the mounting groove 232. In some embodiments, the second direction is perpendicular to the direction in which the connection head 80 is inserted into or withdrawn from the mounting groove 232.

The engaging piece 24 may be made of a metal material such as stainless steel, aluminum alloy, titanium alloy, or magnesium alloy, and the engaging piece 24 may be made of a non-metal material such as plastic or ceramic alloy.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 34-36, the snap member 24 includes a pressing portion 240, a first snap portion 244 and a second snap portion 246 connected in sequence.

Referring to fig. 30, at least a portion of the pressing portion 240 is disposed in the second mounting groove 233 and exposed to the second opening 2330, so that a user can press or pull the pressing portion 240 through the second opening 2330. One end of the pressing part 240 is provided with a dovetail structure 2400.

In some embodiments, an end of the pressing part 240 away from the first engaging part 244 is provided with a pressing cap 242, and the pressing cap 242 is movably disposed in the channel 252 of the bottom case 25. The width of the pressing cap 242 is greater than the width of the pressing part 240, and in particular, the width of the pressing cap 242 is greater than the width of the second mounting groove 233, so that the pressing cap 242 is restrained outside the second mounting groove 233 when the pressing cap 242 moves toward the second mounting groove 233. The pressing cap 242 has a boss 2420 extending in the direction of the first engaging portion 244 at both sides thereof. In other embodiments, the number of the studs 2420 shown in fig. 34 may be one, or may be greater than two, and the present application is not limited thereto.

The first engaging portion 244 is disposed in the first mounting groove 231, and is used for limiting the first engaging portion 244 and the second engaging portion 246 in the first mounting groove 231. Specifically, in the extending direction perpendicular to the second mounting groove 233, the width of the first engaging portion 244 is greater than that of the second mounting groove 233, and when the first engaging portion 244 moves to the position where the second mounting groove 233 communicates with the first mounting groove 231, the first engaging portion 244 abuts against the groove wall 2314 of the first mounting groove 231 at the periphery of the second mounting groove 233, so that the first engaging portion 244 is restricted from entering the second mounting groove 233, and the first engaging portion 244 is clamped in the first mounting groove 231.

The first engaging portion 244 is shaped like a square block, and one end of the first engaging portion 244 is provided with a dovetail groove 2440 that is engaged with the dovetail structure 2400 on the pressing portion 240. The dovetail structure 2400 is engaged with the dovetail groove 2440 to realize the snap connection between the pressing portion 240 and the first engaging portion 244. Therein, the dovetail structure 2400 may be interference fit with the first engagement portion 244 having the dovetail groove 2440.

With reference to fig. 31-33 and fig. 34-36, the second engaging portion 246 is used for engaging with the mating member 84, the second engaging portion 246 is disposed in the first mounting groove 231 and connected to an end of the first engaging portion 244 away from the pressing portion 240, and since the first engaging portion 244 is limited to enter the second mounting groove 233, the second engaging portion 246 is also limited in the first mounting groove 231 by the first engaging portion 244.

Specifically, the second engagement portion 246 may be a cross bar. The width of the cross bar is larger than the first engaging portion 244 for engaging with the connecting head 80. The second ramp 248 may be disposed on the crossbar on a side of the crossbar facing the first opening 2310. The crossbar extends in a third direction, wherein the third direction is perpendicular to the first direction and the second direction. The recess of the mating member 84 extends through the side 840 of the mating member 84 in the third direction.

When the fitting member 84 is inserted into the first mounting groove 231 in the first direction, i.e., the extending direction of the first groove wall 2314, the first inclined surface 842 abuts the second inclined surface 248 at the first position, as shown in fig. 31. Continuing to insert the mating member 84 into the first mounting slot 231 in the first direction, the first inclined surface 842 acts on the second inclined surface 248 to move the engaging member 24 in the second direction, i.e., the extending direction of the second slot wall 2334, to provide an escape space for the mating member 84, as shown in fig. 32. When the mating member 84 reaches the second position, the catch 24 is repositioned such that the cross bar drops into the recess 85 of the mating member 84, and thus, the cross bar prevents the mating member 84 from exiting the first mounting slot 231, as shown in FIG. 33.

When the engaging piece 24 is mounted, the pressing portion 240 may be inserted into the second mounting groove 233 from the second opening 2330, the dovetail structure 2400 of the pressing portion 240 may be inserted into the first mounting groove 231, and the pressing cap 242 may be positioned outside the second opening 2330. The second engaging portion 246 and the first engaging portion 244 are then installed into the first installation groove 231 from the first opening 2310, and the dovetail groove 2440 of the first engaging portion 244 is engaged with the dovetail structure 2400 to connect the first engaging portion 244 to the pressing portion 240. Bottom case 25 is then mounted to middle frame 23, and press cap 242 is placed in channel 252 of bottom case 25. In a natural state, the outer surface of the pressing cap 242 is flush with the outer surface of the bottom case 25 and forms a smooth surface with the outer surface of the bottom case 25.

The first engaging portion 244 and the second engaging portion 246 may be an integral structure, or the first engaging portion 244 and the second engaging portion 246 may be connected by a tenon joint, an adhesive, a welding, a screw connection, or the like.

The reset member 26 is disposed between the engaging member 24 and the housing 22 for urging the engaging member 24 to reset after the engaging member 24 is moved. For example, as shown in fig. 30-31, the restoring member 26 may be an elastic member 26a, such as a spring, rubber, or the like. One end of the elastic element 26a is sleeved outside the protruding pillar 2420 of the pressing cap 242, so as to be connected to the engaging element 24, and the other end of the pressing cap 242 is connected to the housing 22.

Specifically, with reference to fig. 29-30, a receiving hole 236 is formed on the bottom side 2304 of the middle frame 23 at a position corresponding to the protruding pillar 2420, and the receiving hole 236 is a blind hole and has a bottom wall. The protruding pillar 2420 and the elastic element 26a sleeved thereon are accommodated in the accommodating hole 236 together, so that one end of the elastic element 26a abuts against the bottom wall of the accommodating hole 236.

When the mating member 84 is inserted into the first mounting groove 231 from the first position, the first inclined surface 842 drives the engaging member 24 to move away from the second mounting groove 233, and the pressing cap 242 moves toward the second mounting groove 233, thereby pressing the elastic member 26 a. Before the fitting member 84 reaches the second position, the deformed elastic member 26a cannot be restored to its original shape because the cross bar is held in abutment with the fitting member 84, and thus the compressed state is continuously maintained. When the fitting member 84 reaches the second position, the cross bar is aligned with the recessed portion 85 of the fitting member 84, the cross bar is no longer abutted against the fitting member 84, and at this time, the elastic member 26a is restored to its original state, so that the pressing cap 242 is driven to return in the direction away from the second mounting groove 233, the cross bar is driven to move in the direction toward the second mounting groove 233, that is, the cross bar is driven to return, so that the cross bar falls into the recessed portion 85.

When the connecting head 80 is detached from the electronic device 30, the pressing cap 242 may be pressed first, so that the crossbar moves in a direction away from the second mounting groove 233, and the crossbar disengages from the recess 85, thereby providing an escape space for the mating member 84. The engaging member 84 is then pulled out of the first mounting groove 231 in the first direction. When the pressing cap 242 is released, the elastic piece 26a is restored to its original shape, and the engaging piece 24 is restored.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 37, the bottom side 2304 of the middle frame 23 may not need to be provided with the receiving hole 236, and the elastic element 26a may be disposed in the first mounting groove 231. The elastic member 26a may have one end connected to the second engaging portion 246 at a side away from the first engaging portion 244 and the other end connected to the first groove wall 2314 of the first mounting groove 231.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 38, the reducing member 26 may also be a magnet assembly 26 b. Specifically, the magnet assembly 26b includes a first magnet 262 and a second magnet 264, the first magnet 262 being attached to the catch 24 and the second magnet 264 being attached to the housing 22. The opposing faces of the first and

second magnets

262, 264 are equally magnetic and repel each other. In some embodiments, the first magnet 262 may be disposed on the boss 2420, and the second magnet 264 may be disposed on the bottom wall of the receiving hole 236. Since the opposing surfaces of the first and

second magnets

262 and 264 have the same magnetism and repel each other, the second magnet 264 drives the first magnet 262 to move in the direction away from the second magnet 264, so that the pressing cap 242 moves in the direction away from the second mounting groove 233, and the second engaging portion 246 moves in the direction close to the second mounting groove 233, thereby driving the second engaging portion 246 to return.

It is understood that the first and

second magnets

262, 264 may be mounted in other locations. The difference in magnetism between the first magnet 262 and the second magnet 264 depends on the specific installation positions of the first magnet 262 and the second magnet 264, and the present application is not limited thereto as long as the engaging piece 24 can be restored.

As shown in fig. 30, the baffle 28 is mounted in the sink 234 and attached to the housing 22. The shape of the baffle 28 matches the shape of the sink 234. 39-40, the baffle plate 28 includes first and second oppositely disposed

surfaces

280, 282, with the first surface 280 facing the first mounting slot 231. The baffle 28 is provided with a through hole 284 penetrating the first surface 280 and the second surface 282, and the through hole 284 is communicated with the first opening 2310. The fitting 84 of the connection header 80 can pass through the through hole 284 into the first mounting groove 231. The two ends of the first surface 280 are provided with protrusions, the protrusions are provided with threaded holes, and the bottom wall of the sinking groove 234 is correspondingly provided with threaded holes. The baffle 28 is attached to the center frame 23 by screws threaded through the threaded holes of the bosses and threaded holes in the side wall 230 of the center frame 23.

The number and distribution of the vias 284 and the number and distribution of the fittings 84 correspond. For example, when the connector 80 includes two mating members 84 spaced apart, the bezel 28 will include two spaced apart vias 284.

The shape of the vias 284 corresponds to the shape of the mating members 84. Specifically, the shape of the via 284 matches the cross-sectional shape of the fitting 84. For example, when the cross-section of the fitting 84 is racetrack shaped, the via 284 is racetrack shaped. When the fitting 84 is circular in cross-section, the through-hole 284 is circular.

The size of the through hole 284 is approximately equal to the size of the outer contour of the fitting 84, and specifically, the size of the through hole 284 may be slightly larger than the outer contour of the fitting 84, so as to facilitate the fitting 84 to pass through the through hole 284, and enable the through hole 284 to form a tight fit with the fitting 84, thereby facilitating the waterproof and dustproof design of the wearable device 10.

Optionally, the thickness of the baffle 28 is less than the depth of the sunken groove 234, and the sunken groove 234 and the second surface 282 of the baffle 28 form a semi-open receiving space 286. The receiving space 286 may be used to receive the main body of the connector 80 after the connector 80 is installed, and may also receive a portion of the belt body 60. In this way, the connector 80 can be hidden, so that the interference of the outside to the connector 80 can be reduced, and the connection reliability between the housing 22 and the belt body 60 can be improved.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 41, the snap piece 24 includes a snap portion 244a and a pressing portion 240 connected to each other. The engaging portion 244a and the pressing portion 240 may be formed integrally, or may be formed by joining separate members by means of a tenon joint, welding, adhesion, or screw connection. The structure of the engaging piece 24 of the present embodiment differs from the above-described engaging piece 24 at least in that the second engaging portion 246 is not required. That is, the engaging portion 244a of the present embodiment may be the first engaging portion 244 of the above-described embodiment. The second inclined surface 248 is disposed at an end of the engaging portion 244a away from the pressing portion 240. Alternatively, as shown in fig. 42, in some embodiments, an end of the engaging portion 244b away from the pressing portion 240 is provided with a fitting hole 2442. In the first direction, the fitting hole 2442 penetrates the engaging portion 244b, and the second inclined surface 248 is provided on the inner wall of the fitting hole 2442, through which the fitting member 84 passes to engage with the engaging portion 244 b. Therefore, the engaging portion 244b can simultaneously have the function of the first engaging portion 244 of the above-mentioned embodiment, i.e., to limit the engaging portion in the first mounting groove 231, and the function of the second engaging portion 246 of the above-mentioned embodiment, i.e., to engage with the mating member 84 of the connecting head 80, thereby connecting the connecting head 80 and the housing assembly 20.

In the above case, the restoring member 26 may be disposed between the engaging

portions

244a, 244b and the housing 22. For example, when the reset element 26 is an elastic element 26a, one end of the elastic element 26a may be connected to one end of the engaging

portions

244a and 244b connected to the pressing portion 240, as shown in fig. 41; the other end of the elastic member 26a is coupled to the housing 22, for example, the first groove wall 2314 of the first mounting groove 231 adjacent to the second mounting groove 233. Alternatively, one end of the elastic member 26a is connected to one end of the engaging

portions

244a and 244b away from the pressing portion 240, and the other end of the elastic member 26a is connected to the housing 22, for example, the first groove wall 2314 of the first mounting groove 231 away from the second mounting groove 233.

In the case where the recessed portion 85 of the fitting member 84 is a through hole, as shown in fig. 43, the engaging piece 24 may include an engaging portion 240 and a pressing portion 244c connected to each other. Unlike the above embodiment, the engagement portion 244c is provided with a column 244d at an end thereof away from the pressing portion 240, and the second slope 248 is provided at an end of the column 244 d. When the fitting member 24 is inserted into the first mounting groove 231 at the second position, the cylinder 244d is inserted into the recess 85 (i.e., the through hole) of the fitting member 84.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 44, a third opening 2336 is provided on the second slot wall 2334 of the second mounting slot 233, the third opening 2336 being in communication with the first opening 2310 and the second opening 2330. When the engaging member 24 is mounted, the engaging member 24 may be first inserted into the mounting groove 232 from the third opening 2336 and the first opening 2310, specifically, the first engaging portion 244 and the second engaging portion 246 may be mounted into the first mounting groove 231 from the first opening 2310, the pressing portion 240 may be mounted into the second mounting groove 233 from the third opening 2336, the pressing cap 242 may be placed outside the second opening 2330, the blocking plate 28 may be disposed at the third opening 2336 and the first opening 2310, the blocking plate 28 may cover the third opening 2336, and the through hole 284 of the blocking plate 28 may be communicated with the first opening 2310. In this case, the engaging piece 24 of any of the above embodiments, for example, the engaging piece 24 including the pressing portion 240, the pressing cap 242, the first engaging portion 244, and the second engaging portion 246, and the like may be an integral structure.

The present application also provides a connector, a strap, a housing assembly and an electronic device, which may be the connector 80, the strap 50, the housing assembly 20 and the electronic device 30 of any of the above embodiments, respectively.

The application also provides an assembling method of the shell assembly and the connector, wherein the shell assembly and the connector are applied to the wearable device, the shell assembly can be the shell assembly 20 of any of the above embodiments, and the connector can be the connector 80 of any of the above embodiments.

In some embodiments, referring to fig. 45, the assembly method includes:

m101: the mating member is inserted into the mounting groove of the housing assembly at a first position such that the inclined surface of the mating member abuts the engaging member.

M102: the fitting piece is inserted towards the second position in the mounting groove, so that the inclined surface pushes the clamping piece to move along the inclined surface, and therefore an avoiding space is provided for the fitting piece to be inserted into the mounting groove.

In some embodiments, the engaging member 24 moves linearly, and the moving direction of the engaging member 24 is different from the inserting direction of the connecting head 80 into the mounting groove 232. Specifically, the moving direction of the engaging member 24 may be perpendicular to the direction in which the connecting head 80 is inserted into the mounting groove 232.

In some embodiments, the mounting groove 232 includes a first mounting groove 231 and a second mounting groove 233, which are communicated, and the engaging member 24 is inserted into the first position and the second position along the extending direction of the first groove wall 2314, and the engaging member 24 moves along the extending direction of the second groove wall 2334.

In some embodiments, the housing assembly 22 includes a restoring member 26, such as a resilient member 26a, and the resilient member 26a urges the engaging member 24 to restore.

Before M101, the first engaging portion 244 abuts against the housing 22 to limit the first engaging portion 244 and the second engaging portion 246 in the first mounting groove 231. M102, the second engaging portion 246 moves along the first inclined surface 842 of the mating member 84; the pressing portion 240 presses the elastic member 26a toward the housing 22, so that the elastic member 26a is compressed. In M103, the elastically deformed elastic piece 26a returns to its original shape to drive the engaging piece 24 to return, so that the second engaging portion 246 enters the recess 8.

In some embodiments, the snap 24 includes a pressing portion 240 and a snap portion 244a connected in series. Before M101, the engaging portion 244a is engaged with the housing 22 to limit the engaging portion 244a in the first mounting groove 231. In M102, the engaging member 24 moves along the first inclined surface 842 of the engaging member 84, and presses the elastic member 26a toward the housing 22, so that the elastic member 26a is compressed. In M103, the elastic element 26a returns to its original shape to drive the engaging element 24 to return, so that the engaging portion 244a is accommodated in the recessed portion 85.

In some embodiments, the recess 85 and the first inclined surface 842 of the mating member 84 are connected by the transition surface 848, and after M102, i.e., after the movement of the catch 24 on the first inclined surface 842 is completed, the catch 24 does not immediately enter the recess 85, but rather needs to pass through the transition surface 848 between the recess 85 and the first inclined surface 842, during which the catch 24 abuts against the transition surface 848 until the mating member 84 moves until the catch 24 is aligned with the recess, i.e., the mating member 84 moves to the second position.

The present application also provides a method for disassembling the housing assembly and the connector, as shown in the above embodiment, the fitting member 84 is inserted into the mounting groove 232, and the engaging member 24 is received by the recessed portion 85 to snap-connect the connector 80 and the housing assembly 20. As shown in fig. 46, the method for detaching the snap-fit housing assembly 22 and the connecting head 80 includes:

m201: and drawing the clamping piece away from the concave part to provide an avoiding space for the matching piece.

In some embodiments, the catch 24 can be pulled away from the recess 85 by pressing or pulling the catch 24.

M202: the fitting member 84 is pulled out of the fitting groove 232.

The following describes the assembly and disassembly of the connector and housing assembly of the present application with the embodiment shown in fig. 31-33:

when the mating member 84 of the connecting head 80 is inserted into the first mounting groove 231 in the first direction, i.e., the extending direction of the first groove wall 2314, the first inclined surface 842 abuts against the second inclined surface 248 at the first position, as shown in fig. 31.

When the engaging member 84 is continuously inserted into the first mounting groove 231 toward the second position in the first direction, the first inclined surface 842 acts on the second inclined surface 248, so that the engaging member 24 moves along the second direction, i.e. the extending direction of the second groove wall 2334. Specifically, the pressing cap 242 moves toward a direction approaching the second mounting groove 233, i.e., the bottom wall of the receiving hole 236, and, as the pressing cap 242 moves, the pressing cap 242 continues to compress the elastic member 26 a; the second catching portion 246 moves on the first inclined surface 842 and moves away from the second mounting groove 233, thereby providing a space for the mating member 84 to escape. After the second latch portion 246 passes the first inclined surface 842, the second latch portion 246 abuts the transition surface 848, and the mating member 84 continues to move toward the bottom wall 2312 until reaching the second position, as shown in fig. 32. While the second engaging portion 246 is in contact with the transition surface 848, the movement of the engaging piece 24 in the second direction is stopped, that is, the pressing cap 242 does not continue to compress the elastic piece 26a in the direction of the bottom wall of the accommodating hole 236, but is held at the current position, and the elastic piece 26a is also held in the current compressed state. In this process, the fitting member 84 always moves against the second engaging portion 246, so that the deformed elastic member 26a cannot be restored.

When the fitting 84 reaches the second position, the recess 85 of the fitting 84 is aligned with the second catch 246, and at this time, the fitting 84 no longer abuts the second catch 246. At this time, the elastic element 26a can be restored to drive the engaging element 24 to be restored, specifically, when the elastic element 26a is restored, the engaging element 24 is driven to be restored, specifically, the pressing cap 242 is driven by the elastic element 26a to move in a direction away from the second mounting groove 233, so that the second engaging portion 246 moves in a direction close to the second mounting groove 233, and the second engaging portion 246 falls into the recess 85 of the mating element 84 to restrain the mating element 84, thereby locking the mating element 84 in the first mounting groove 231, as shown in fig. 33. Therefore, the mating member 84 is prevented from being removed from the first mounting groove 231 by the second engaging portion 246, thereby achieving the snap-fit connection of the connection head 80 and the housing assembly 20.

When the connecting head 80 and the housing assembly 20 are disassembled, the pressing cap 242 is pressed toward the second mounting groove 233, so as to press the elastic member 26a, the elastic member 26a is compressed, and at the same time, the movement of the pressing cap 242 drives the engaging member 24 to move. Specifically, the second engaging portion 246 moves away from the second mounting groove 233 to disengage from the recess 85, providing a space for the mating member 84 to escape, and no longer binding the mating member 84.

The fitting member 84 is then pulled out from the first fitting groove 231.

When the pressing of the pressing cap 242 is released, the elastic element 26a returns to its original shape and drives the engaging element 24 to return, specifically, the pressing cap 242 is driven to move in a direction away from the second mounting groove 233, and the second engaging portion 246 moves in a direction close to the second mounting groove 233, so that the engaging element 24 returns to its original state, and at this time, the outer surface of the pressing cap 242 is flush with the outer surface of the bottom case 25.
