First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A wrist-worn device, comprising a device main body and an earphone, wherein an accommodating groove for placing the earphone is provided on the device main body, a key is slidably mounted on one of the device main body and the earphone, a clamping groove is provided on the other one of the device main body and the earphone, a snapin head cooperating with the clamping groove is provided at a top of the key, the key is provided with a first attraction portion, the device main body or the earphone which has the clamping groove is provided with a second attraction portion, and the first attraction portion is magnetically attracted with the second attraction portion in a case that the key slides forward until the snapin head is inserted into the clamping groove.

2. The wrist-worn device according to claim 1 , wherein the first attraction portion is a first magnet, a second magnet is provided on a position of the device main body or the earphone which has the clamping groove, the position is located behind the second attraction portion and corresponds to the key sliding backward until the snapin head exits the clamping groove, and a magnetic pole of an end of the second magnet is the same as a magnetic pole of an end of the first magnet opposite to the second magnet to generate a repulsive force to push the earphone out of the accommodating groove.

3. The wrist-worn device according to claim 2 , wherein the clamping groove or the key is provided on one end of the earphone, a third attraction portion is provided on the other end of the earphone, the device main body is provided with a fourth attraction portion corresponding to the third attraction portion for magnetic attraction with the third attraction portion, the third attraction portion is located on an inner side surface of the earphone, and the fourth attraction portion is located at a groove bottom of the accommodating groove, and an outer side surface of the fourth attraction portion facing the third attraction portion is an inclined surface inclined toward the third attraction portion from back to front.

4. The wrist-worn device according to claim 3 , wherein the third attraction portion is a third magnet, the fourth attraction portion is a fourth magnet, and a magnetic pole of an inner side surface of the third magnet is opposite to a magnetic pole of an outer side surface of the fourth magnet.

5. The wrist-worn device according to claim 2 , wherein the second attraction portion is a fifth magnet, and a magnetic pole of an end of the first magnet is opposite to a magnetic pole of an end of the fifth magnet opposite to the first magnet.

6. The wrist-worn device according to claim 1 , wherein an elastic member is arranged between the key and the device main body or the earphone which is mounted with the key, and the elastic member is deformed in a case that the key moves backward and generates a restoring force to keep the snapin head in a pushed-out state.

7. The wrist-worn device according to claim 6 , wherein a sliding groove is provided in the device main body or the earphone, the key comprises a key body and a sliding block fixedly connected to the key body, the sliding block is located in the sliding groove, the key body is mounted on a surface of the device main body or the earphone, the snapin head is located at a top end of the sliding block, and a through hole for the snapin head to pass through is provided at a top end of the sliding groove.

8. The wrist-worn device according to claim 7 , wherein the elastic member is a compressed elastic member with one end of the compressed elastic member abutting against a bottom end of the sliding groove and the other end of the compressed elastic member abutting against a bottom end of the sliding block.

9. The wrist-worn device according to claim 1 , wherein the accommodating groove is arranged on a side wall of the device main body in a length direction of the device main body.

10. The wrist-worn device according to claim 1 , comprising two of the earphones, the accommodating groove, the key and the clamping groove are provided in cooperation with each of the earphones.

11. The wrist-worn device according to claim 2 , wherein an elastic member is arranged between the key and the device main body or the earphone mounted with the key, and the elastic member is deformed in a case that the key moves backward and generates a restoring force to keep the snapin head in a pushed-out state.

12.
