Abstract

The present application relates to a wearable device, which includes a watchcase, a button, and a watchband. The watchcase is provided with a groove. The button is provided in the groove and can be moved to a first position and a second position relative to the watchcase. An end portion of the watchband is provided with a clamping groove extending to an edge of the watchband, the end portion can be received in the groove, and in the first position, the button passes through the clamping groove and engages the watchband with the watchcase, and in the second position, the button can be withdrawn from the clamping groove to enable the watchband to be detached from the watchcase.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A wearable device, comprising:
a watchcase provided with a mounting groove along a first direction perpendicular to a surface of the watchcase and provided with a groove along a second direction perpendicular to the first direction of the watchcase, the mounting groove and the groove being mutually communicated;
a watchband, wherein an end portion of the watchband is receivable in the groove, and the end portion is provided with a clamping groove extending along the first direction, and wherein the clamping groove comprises a groove bottom surface, and a first side wall and a second side wall opposite to each other, a first stopper and a second stopper respectively extend from the first side wall and the second side wall to an inside of the clamping groove, a first distance is spaced between the first stopper and the second stopper, and lengths of the first stopper and the second stopper along the first direction are less than a length of the end portion along the first direction, and lengths of the first stopper and the second stopper along the second direction are less than lengths of the first side wall and the second side wall along the second direction respectively; and
a button passing through the mounting groove and the groove of the watchcase and the clamping groove of the watchband along the first direction, and being movable between a first position and a second position along the first direction, wherein in the first position, the button engages the watchband with the watchcase, and in the second position, the button is withdrawable from the clamping groove to enable the watchband to be detached from the watchcase.

2. The wearable device according to claim 1 , wherein the wearable device further comprises an elastic member, a first end of the elastic member abuts against the watchcase, and a second end of the elastic member abuts against the button, and in the second position, the button compresses the elastic member.

3. The wearable device according to claim 2 , wherein the button comprises a pressing plate, a connecting portion and a limiting portion, a lower surface of the pressing plate is connected to an end of the connecting portion, the other end of the connecting portion is connected to the limiting portion, the second end of the elastic member buts against the limiting portion of the button, a width of the connecting portion is smaller than a width of the limiting portion, and the width of the limiting portion is greater than the first distance between the first stopper and the second stopper.

4. The wearable device according to claim 3 , wherein in the first position, the first stopper and the second stopper are configured to restrict the limiting portion from coming out of the clamping groove, and in the second position, the connecting portion is configured to exit the clamping groove from an opening between the first stopper and the second stopper.

5. The wearable device according to claim 4 , wherein in the first direction, upper surfaces of the first stopper and the second stopper are flush with an upper surface of the end portion of the watchband, the width of the limiting portion being less than or equal to a width between the first side wall and the second side wall of the clamping groove.

6. The wearable device according to claim 4 , wherein the limiting portion comprises a body and a protruding cylinder extending from the body, and the second end of the elastic member is sleeved on the protruding cylinder and abuts against the body.

7. The wearable device according to claim 6 , wherein a groove wall of the groove of the watchcase opposite to the mounting groove is provided with a receiving hole, and the first end of the elastic member is received in the receiving hole and abuts against the watchcase.

8. The wearable device according to claim 7 , wherein an end of the protruding cylinder away from the body is received in the receiving hole.

9. The wearable device according to claim 4 , wherein a groove bottom of the mounting groove is provided with a channel for communicating the mounting groove and the groove, a maximum width of the channel being smaller than a maximum width of the mounting groove, a maximum width of the limiting portion being greater than the maximum width of the channel, and the connecting portion passing through the channel and being movable within the channel.

10. The wearable device according to claim 9 , wherein in the second position, the elastic member is in a compressed state, and the elastic member causes the limiting portion to abut against a groove wall of the groove.

11. The wearable device according to claim 4 , wherein in the first position, an upper surface of the pressing plate is flush with an upper surface of the end portion of the watchcase.

12. The wearable device according to claim 11 , wherein in the second direction, one side of the pressing plate is flush with an end surface of one side of the connecting portion, and the other side of the pressing plate protrudes from an end surface of the other side of the connecting portion.

13. The wearable device according to claim 1 , wherein the end portion of the watchband forms a curved surface on a side facing away from the watchcase, and in the first position, a circumferential edge of the curved surface is joined to a circumferential edge of a groove wall of the groove to form a continuous contoured surface.

14. A watchband, wherein an end portion of the watchband is provided with a clamping groove extending along a first direction of the watchband, and wherein the clamping groove comprises a groove bottom surface, and a first side wall and a second side wall opposite to each other, a first stopper and a second stopper respectively extend from the first side wall and the second side wall to an inside of the clamping groove, a first distance is spaced between the first stopper and the second stopper, and lengths of the first stopper and the second stopper along the first direction are less than a length of the end portion along the first direction, and lengths of the first stopper and the second stopper along a second direction of the watchband are less than lengths of the first side wall and the second side wall along the second direction respectively.

15. The watchband according to claim 14 , wherein the end portion of the watchband is configured to engage in a groove of a watchcase through a button.
