Description

Wearable device including a connecting member

The present disclosure relates to a wearable device including a connecting member.

The human senses are concentrated in the head, and accordingly, devices designed to provide audiovisual experiences are typically worn on the head. Examples of these devices include earphones, headphones, headsets, and head-mounted displays (also known as VR headsets). For example, some wearable devices are worn on the head.

Among head-worn devices, headsets, for example, can exert pressure on the head when worn. Specifically, stereo headsets have ear cups that mechanically surround the user's ears to block out external sounds. These headsets can exert greater pressure on the head than earphones (e.g., earbuds).

The aforementioned devices must be adjustable to accommodate heads of varying shapes. To achieve this, the devices typically incorporate a hinge structure at a specific point, allowing them to be adjusted to the user's head shape and size.

The above information may be provided as background art to aid in understanding the present disclosure. No claim or determination is made as to whether any of the above is applicable as prior art in connection with the present disclosure.

A wearable device according to one embodiment of the present disclosure may include a first speaker assembly including a first speaker and a first housing, and a second speaker assembly including a second speaker and a second housing. The wearable device may include a connecting member that connects the first housing and the second housing and is inserted into the first housing such that one end faces a first direction through an opening of the first housing. The wearable device may include a molding member that includes a cylindrical body portion surrounding at least a portion of the connecting member and a protrusion protruding from at least a portion of the body portion. A space formed by the first housing and the molding member may include a second space including a portion of a circle having a first diameter, a second cross-section that is perpendicular to the first direction and is further from the opening of the first housing than the first cross-section, and a portion of a circle having a second diameter greater than the first diameter. The protrusion may be accommodated in a space having a shape of a portion of the circle having the second diameter in the second space.

Among these communication modules, the corresponding communication module can communicate with an external electronic device (104) via a first network (198) (e.g., a short-range communication network such as Bluetooth, wireless fidelity (WiFi) direct, or infrared data association (IrDA)) or a second network (199) (e.g., a long-range communication network such as a legacy cellular network, a 5G network, a next-generation communication network, the Internet, or a computer network (e.g., a LAN or WAN)). These various types of communication modules can be integrated into a single component (e.g., a single chip) or implemented as multiple separate components (e.g., multiple chips). The wireless communication module (192) can verify or authenticate the electronic device (101) within a communication network such as the first network (198) or the second network (199) by using subscriber information (e.g., an international mobile subscriber identity (IMSI)) stored in the subscriber identification module (196).

The wireless communication module (192) can support 5G networks and next-generation communication technologies following the 4G network, such as NR access technology (new radio access technology). The NR access technology can support high-speed transmission of high-capacity data (eMBB (enhanced mobile broadband)), minimization of terminal power and connection of multiple terminals (mMTC (massive machine type communications)), or high reliability and low latency (URLLC (ultra-reliable and low-latency communications)). The wireless communication module (192) can support, for example, a high-frequency band (e.g., mmWave band) to achieve a high data transmission rate. The wireless communication module (192) can support various technologies for securing performance in a high-frequency band, such as beamforming, massive multiple-input and multiple-output (MIMO), full dimensional MIMO (FD-MIMO), array antenna, analog beam-forming, or large scale antenna.

An electronic device (101) according to one embodiment may include a connecting member (230). According to one embodiment, the connecting member (230) may connect a plurality of housings (215, 225). The connecting member (230) may physically connect the plurality of housings (215, 225). The connecting member (230) may further include a cable that electrically connects components arranged within the plurality of housings (215, 225).

The structural features of the electronic device (101) according to the present disclosure can be implemented within the housing (215, 225), within the portion where the housing (215, 225) and the connecting member (230) are coupled. Within the housing (215, 225), within the portion where the housing (215, 225) and the connecting member (230) are coupled, a catch member (240) and a molding member (250) can be arranged.

Referring to identification number 203, a connecting member (230) and a catch member (240) according to one embodiment can be inserted into a housing (215, 225) facing in a first direction (280). According to one embodiment, one end of the connecting member (230) can be inserted into the first housing (215, 225) through an opening (217) of the first housing (215). According to one embodiment, the other end of the connecting member (230) can be inserted into the second housing (225) through an opening of the second housing (225).

Referring to identification number 203, an electronic device (101) according to one embodiment may include a catch member (240). In one embodiment, the catch member (240) may include a body portion (242) and a protrusion portion (244).

The engaging member (240) may include a body portion (242) having a cylindrical shape that surrounds at least a portion of the connecting member (230). For example, the body portion (242) may be disposed within a space (e.g., an internal space (1300) of FIGS. 13 and 14) formed by the first housing (210) and the molding member (250), and may be rotatably accommodated about an axis facing the first direction (280).

The engaging member (240) may include a protrusion (244) protruding from at least a portion of the body portion (242). For example, the protrusion (244) may be rotatably received about an axis facing in the first direction (280) within a more sunken recess (e.g., the second space (1320) of FIGS. 13 and 14) within a space (e.g., the inner space (1300) of FIGS. 13 and 14) formed by the first housing (210) and the molding member (250).

Referring to identification number 203, an electronic device (101) according to one embodiment may include a molding member (250). According to one embodiment, at least a portion of the molding member (250) may include an elastic material. The molding member (250) including the elastic material may be in close contact with the interior of the first housing (215) to surround the connecting member (230) and the catching member (240). The molding member (250) may be in close contact with the interior of the first housing (215) to prevent external foreign substances or moisture from penetrating into the space where the connecting member (230) and the catching member (240) are arranged.

According to one embodiment, a molding member (250) is coupled to a first housing (215) to form an internal space (e.g., 1300 of FIG. 13), and a portion of the internal space (e.g., 1300 of FIG. 13) may form a second space (e.g., 1320 of FIG. 13) that is more sunken than the other portion. A catch member (240) connected to a connecting member (230) may rotate within the internal space (1300) formed by the first housing (215) and the molding member (250). A protrusion (244) of the catch member (240) may rotate within the second space (1320).

In a state where the boundary surface (e.g., 245, 246 of FIG. 6) with the body portion (242) of the protrusion (244) of the hook member (240) is in contact with the boundary surface (831, 1340) of the second space, the hook member (240) is caught on the boundary surface (831, 1340) and cannot rotate beyond the boundary surface (831, 1340). Accordingly, the angular range in which the housing (215, 225) can rotate with respect to the connecting member (230) surrounded by the hook member (240) can be adjusted.

In an electronic device (101) including the configurations of the present disclosure, the housings (215, 225) are rotatable with respect to the connecting member (230) inserted into each housing (215, 225), so that the volume of the space occupied by the electronic device (101) can be adjusted depending on the angle at which at least one of the first housing (215) or the second housing (225) is rotated with respect to the connecting member (230).

In addition, in the electronic device (101) of the present disclosure, the molding member (250) can be tightly fitted into the interior of the first housing (215) to prevent external foreign substances or moisture from penetrating into the space where the connecting member (230) and the engaging member (240) are arranged, thereby preventing foreign substances or moisture from penetrating into the interior of the first housing (215) from the outside through the opening (e.g., 280 in FIG. 1).

FIG. 3 is a drawing illustrating an example in which an electronic device (101) according to one embodiment is placed within a case (200).

An electronic device (101) according to one embodiment may be placed within a case (200). An electronic device (101) according to one embodiment may be placed within the case (200) by having at least one of a first housing (215) or a second housing (225) rotate relative to a connecting member (230). According to one embodiment, a volume of a space occupied by the electronic device (101) may be adjusted by having the first housing (215) and the second housing (225) rotate relative to the connecting member (230). Accordingly, a volume of a space occupied by the electronic device (101) may be adjusted depending on the angle at which the first housing (215) and the second housing (225) are rotated relative to the connecting member (230).

For example, when the first housing (215) and the second housing (225) are rotated by a predetermined angle with respect to the connecting member (230), the width (300) of the electronic device (101) in the y-axis direction can be reduced. In this case, the width of the case (200) in which the electronic device (101) can be placed can also be reduced in the y-axis direction. Therefore, according to one embodiment of the present disclosure, the width of the electronic device (101) in the y-axis direction and the width of the case (200) storing the electronic device (101) inside can be reduced, and accordingly, an electronic device (101) and its case (200) with high portability can be provided.

FIG. 4 is a perspective view and a side view of an electronic device (101) to explain how a housing rotates relative to a connecting member in an electronic device (101) according to one embodiment.

Identification number 401 is a perspective view showing the front of an electronic device (101) according to one embodiment, and identification number 402 is a perspective view showing the side of an electronic device (101) according to one embodiment.

In one embodiment, at least one of the first housing (215) or the second housing (225) within the electronic device (101) can rotate about an axis of rotation about a direction in which the connecting member (230) is inserted into each housing (215, 225) (e.g., the first direction (280) of FIG. 1). For example, the first housing (215) and the second housing (225) can rotate about an axis of rotation about a direction in which the connecting member (230) is inserted into each housing (215, 225) (e.g., the first direction (280) of FIG. 1).

For example, referring to identification number 401, the first housing (215) and the second housing (225) can be symmetrically connected with respect to a predetermined plane (e.g., the xz plane of identification number 401) through a connecting member (230). The first housing (215) and the second housing (225) can rotate about the rotation axis in the direction in which the connecting member (230) is inserted into each of the housings (215, 225) (e.g., the first direction (280) of FIG. 1). For example, the ranges in which the first housing (210) and the second housing (220) can rotate with respect to the connecting member (230) can be symmetrical with respect to the predetermined plane. For example, assuming that the connecting member (230) connecting the first housing (215) and the second housing (225) is positioned on the xy plane, the direction in which the connecting member (230) is inserted into each housing (215, 225) (e.g., the first direction (280) of FIG. 1) may correspond to the -x direction on the x-axis. In this case, the first housing (215) and the second housing (225) may rotate about the axis facing the x-axis as the rotation axis.

Referring to the state of the first housing (215) illustrated in the identification number 401, the first housing (215) is rotated with respect to the connecting member (230), so that the rear surface (219) of the first housing (215) can face the second housing (225). For example, the front surface (218) of the first housing (215) can face a direction corresponding to the -y direction on the y-axis by rotating the first housing (215) with respect to the connecting member (230). In one embodiment, the first speaker of the first speaker assembly (210) can be arranged to face the rear surface (219) of the first housing (215) within the first housing (215). In this case, the rear surface (219) of the first housing (215) can face the second housing (225) by rotating the first housing (215) with respect to the connecting member (230). For example, the speaker within the first housing (215) can face a direction corresponding to the +y direction on the y-axis.

In addition, unlike as illustrated in the identification number 401, the rear surface (229) of the second housing (225) can face the first housing (215) by rotating the second housing (225) relative to the connecting member (230), and the rear surface (219) of the first housing (215) can face the second housing (225) by rotating the first housing (225) relative to the connecting member (230). Accordingly, the rear surface (219) of the first housing (215) and the rear surface (229) of the second housing (225) can face each other. In this case, the first speaker facing the rear surface (219) of the first housing (215) within the first housing (215) and the second speaker facing the rear surface (219) of the second housing (225) within the second housing (225) can face each other. The electronic device (101) can be worn so that the user's head is positioned between the first housing (215) and the second housing (225) while the first speaker of the first speaker assembly (210) and the second speaker of the second speaker assembly (220) face each other. In this case, for example, the rear surface (219) of the first housing (215) and the rear surface (229) of the second housing (225) can be positioned adjacent to both ears of the user, respectively. Accordingly, the first speaker and the second speaker are positioned so as to face both ears of the user, respectively, so that the user can hear sounds reproduced from the first speaker and the second speaker.

Referring to the state of the second housing (225) illustrated in the identification number 401, the second housing (225) is rotated with respect to the connecting member (230), so that at least one of the front side (228) or the rear side (229) of the second housing (225) can face a plane (e.g., the xy plane of the identification number 401) on which the connecting member (230) is positioned. For example, the second housing (225) is rotated with respect to the connecting member (230), so that the front side (228) of the second housing (225) can face a direction corresponding to the +z direction on the z-axis. In one embodiment, the second speaker of the second speaker assembly (220) can be arranged to face the rear side (229) of the second housing (225) within the second housing (225). In this case, since the second housing (225) is rotated with respect to the connecting member (230), the rear surface (229) of the second housing (225) can face the plane (e.g., the xy plane of identification number 401) on which the connecting member (230) is positioned. For example, since the second housing (225) is rotated with respect to the connecting member (230), at least one of the front surface (228) or the rear surface (229) of the second housing (225) can be positioned on a plane parallel to the xy plane. For example, at least one of the front surface (228) or the rear surface (229) of the second housing (225) can face the +z direction or the -z direction on the z-axis. For example, a speaker within the second housing (225) can face the -z direction on the z-axis.

In addition, unlike as shown in the identification number 401, the second housing (225) can be rotated with respect to the connecting member (230) so that the rear surface (229) of the second housing (225) can face the plane (e.g., the xy plane of the identification number 401) on which the connecting member (230) is positioned, and the first housing (225) can be rotated with respect to the connecting member (230) so that the rear surface (229) of the second housing (225) can face the plane (e.g., the xy plane of the identification number 401) on which the connecting member (230) is positioned. Accordingly, the state of the electronic device (101) shown in the identification number 402 can be achieved. Accordingly, the rear surface (219) of the first housing (215) and the rear surface (229) of the second housing (225) can be positioned on the plane (e.g., the xy plane of the identification number 401) on which the connecting member (230) is positioned. Alternatively, the rear surface (219) of the first housing (215) and the rear surface (229) of the second housing (225) may be positioned on the same plane. Alternatively, the rear surface (219) of the first housing (215) and the rear surface (229) of the second housing (225) may have the same angle with respect to the plane (e.g., the xy plane of identification number 401) on which the connecting member (230) is positioned.

According to one embodiment, the rear surface (219) of the first housing (215) and the rear surface (229) of the second housing (225) may be disposed within a case (e.g., case (200) of FIGS. 2 and 3) so as to face a plane (e.g., xy plane of identification number 401) where the connecting member (230) is positioned. In a state (e.g., state of the electronic device (101) of identification number 402) where the rear surface (219) of the first housing (215) and the rear surface (229) of the second housing (225) face a plane (e.g., xy plane of identification number 401) where the connecting member (230) is positioned, the width in the z-axis direction of the space occupied by the electronic device (101) (e.g., 300 of FIG. 3) may be shorter than in a state where the rear surface (219) of the first housing (215) and the rear surface (229) of the second housing (225) face each other. When the rear surface (219) of the first housing (215) and the rear surface (229) of the second housing (225) are placed in a case (e.g., the case (200) of FIGS. 2 and 3) while facing the plane (e.g., the xy plane of identification number 401) where the connecting member (230) is located, it can be placed in a case of smaller volume (e.g., the case (200) of FIGS. 2 and 3). Therefore, according to the present disclosure, an electronic device (101) with increased portability can be provided by being placed in a case (200) having a smaller volume.

For example, the first housing (215) and the second housing (225) can be symmetrically connected to each other through a connecting member (230). The first housing (215) and the second housing (225) can be configured to be rotatable about the x-axis as a rotational axis. For example, by the first housing (215) and the second housing (225) being rotated in opposite directions with respect to the connecting member, the width (300) of the electronic device (101) in the z-axis direction can be adjusted. For example, when the first housing (215) and the second housing (225) are rotated to face opposite directions, and the first housing (215) is rotated 90° in the first rotation direction with the x-axis as the rotation axis, and the second housing (225) is rotated 90° in the second rotation direction opposite to the first rotation direction with the x-axis as the rotation axis, the width (300) of the electronic device (101) in the y-axis direction can be reduced by a predetermined length.

According to one embodiment, the first housing (215) or the second housing (225) may be rotatable within a predetermined angular range about the direction in which the connecting member (230) is inserted into each housing (215, 225) (e.g., the first direction (280) of FIG. 1) as an axis of rotation. The predetermined angular range in which the first housing (215) or the second housing (225) may be rotatable with respect to the connecting member (230) may be set in various ways. In one embodiment, the predetermined angular range in which the first housing (215) or the second housing (225) may be rotatable may be set differently by changing the structure of at least one of the engaging member (240), the housing (215, 225), or the molding member (250). A specific embodiment thereof will be described in detail in the description of FIGS. 13 and 14.

FIG. 5 is a perspective view and a side view of a connecting member (230) and a hooking member (240) according to one embodiment.

An electronic device (101) according to one embodiment may include a connecting member (230) and a hooking member (240).

An electronic device (101) according to one embodiment may include a connecting member (230). The connecting member (230) according to one embodiment may connect a first housing (210) and a second housing (220). The connecting member (230) according to one embodiment may be inserted into the first housing (210) such that one end faces a first direction (e.g., 280 of FIG. 1) through an opening (e.g., 217 of FIG. 1, 720 of FIG. 7) of the first housing (210). The other end of the connecting member (230) according to one embodiment may be inserted into the second housing such that the other end faces a second direction through an opening of the second housing.

In one embodiment, the connecting member (230) can connect the first housing (215) and the second housing (225). For example, the connecting member (230) can electrically connect the first housing (215) and the second housing (225). For example, the connecting member (230) can include a plurality of wires and an insulating member (260) surrounding the plurality of wires. For example, the connecting member (230) can physically connect the first housing (215) and the second housing (225). For example, the first housing (215) and the second housing (225) can be connected to each other through wireless communication without being electrically connected.

For example, the connecting member (230) may or may not include a plurality of wires. For example, the connecting member (230) may include an insulating member (260). For example, the insulating member (260) may surround the connecting member (230). In this case, the insulating member (260) may surround the plurality of wires included in the connecting member (230), thereby electrically isolating the plurality of wires from the outside.

An electronic device (101) according to one embodiment may include a catch member (240). The catch member (240) may be included in the connecting member (230) or may be a separate component from the connecting member (230). When the catch member (240) is a separate component from the connecting member (230), the catch member (240) may surround one end of the connecting member (230).

According to one embodiment, the catch member (240) may be accommodated within a space formed by the first housing (215) and the molding member (250). According to one embodiment, the catch member (240) may be rotatably accommodated within a space formed by the first housing (210) and the molding member (250). For example, the catch member (240) may be rotatably accommodated about an axis directed in a first direction (e.g., the first direction (280) of FIG. 1) within the space formed by the first housing (215) and the molding member (250).

According to one embodiment, the catch member (240) can be accommodated within a space formed by the first housing (215) and the molding member (250) so as to face the inner surface of the space formed by the first housing (215) and the molding member (250).

According to one embodiment, a catch member (240) may include a body portion (242) and a protrusion portion (244). The body portion (242) may be formed to surround at least a portion of the connecting member (230), or may be included in the connecting member (230). The body portion (242) may have a cylindrical shape. The protrusion portion (244) may have a shape that protrudes from at least a portion of the body portion (242). Details related to the body portion (242) and the protrusion portion (244) will be described in detail in FIG. 6 and will be omitted herein.

FIG. 6 is a front view showing the front of a connecting member (230) and a hooking member (240) according to one embodiment.

An electronic device (101) according to one embodiment may include a connecting member (230) and a catch member (240). The description of the connecting member (230), the catch member (240), and the insulating member (260) corresponds to the description of FIG. 5, and therefore, any description overlapping with the description of FIG. 5 will be omitted herein.

According to one embodiment, the engaging member (240) may include a body portion (242). The body portion (242) may be formed to surround at least a portion of the connecting member (230), or may be included in the connecting member (230). The body portion (242) may have a cylindrical shape. For example, the body portion (242) may be accommodated within a space formed by the first housing (215) and the molding member (250) so as to face at least a portion of an inner surface of the space formed by the first housing (215) and the molding member (250).

According to one embodiment, the catch member (240) may include a protrusion (244). The protrusion (244) may have a shape that protrudes from at least a portion of the body portion (242). For example, the protrusion (244) may be rotatably accommodated within a more sunken recess (e.g., the second space (830) of FIGS. 8, 13, and 14) within a space formed by the first housing (210) and the molding member (250). For example, the protrusion (244) may be rotatably accommodated about an axis facing a first direction (e.g., the first direction (280) of FIG. 1) within a more sunken recess (e.g., the second space (830) of FIG. 8, FIG. 13, and FIG. 14) within a space (e.g., 830 and 820 of FIG. 13 and FIG. 14) formed by the first housing (210) and the molding member (250). For example, the protrusion (244) may be rotatable within a range of 90° about an axis facing a first direction (e.g., the first direction (280) of FIG. 1) within a more sunken recessed portion (e.g., the second space (830) of FIGS. 8, 13, and 14) within a space (e.g., 830 and 820 of FIGS. 13 and 14) formed by the first housing (210) and the molding member (250).

The protrusion (244) according to one embodiment may have various shapes. By adjusting the shape of the protrusion (244), the rotatable range of the catch member (240) can be adjusted. Accordingly, the rotatable range of the housing (215, 225) with respect to the connecting member (230) surrounded by the catch member (240) can be adjusted. In one embodiment, the protrusion (244) may be accommodated within the space formed by the first housing (215) and the molding member (250) so as to face the inner surface of a more sunken recessed portion (e.g., 830 and 820 of FIGS. 13 and 14) within the space formed by the first housing (215) and the molding member (250). The protrusion (244) can rotate along the inner surface of a more sunken recessed portion (e.g., the third recess (830) of FIGS. 8, 13, and 14) within a space (e.g., 820 and 830 of FIGS. 13 and 14) formed by the first housing (215) and the molding member (250). In one embodiment, the outer surface of the protrusion (244) can include a boundary surface (245, 246) adjacent to the boundary between the body portion (242) and the protrusion (244). The boundary surface (245, 246) adjacent to the boundary between the body portion (242) and the protrusion portion (244) can contact the boundary surface of a more sunken recessed portion (e.g., the third recess (830) in FIGS. 8, 13, and 14) within the space (e.g., 820 and 830 in FIGS. 13 and 14) formed by the first housing (215) and the molding member (250). The boundary surface (245, 246) adjacent to the boundary between the body portion (242) and the protrusion (244) comes into contact with the boundary surface of a more sunken recessed portion (e.g., the third recess (830) of FIGS. 8, 13, and 14) within the space (e.g., 820 and 830 of FIGS. 13 and 14) formed by the first housing (215) and the molding member (250), thereby allowing the first housing (215) to be caught on the protrusion (244) of the catch member (240) and fixed so that it cannot rotate any further. Accordingly, the positions of the boundary surfaces (245, 246) between the body portion (242) and the protrusion (244) can be set differently depending on the areas that the outer surface of the body portion (242) and the outer surface of the protrusion (244) have on the outer surface of the catch member (240). In this case, the range of rotation of the housing (215, 225) can be adjusted with respect to the connecting member (230) surrounded by the catch member (240).

FIG. 7 is a drawing for explaining an overview of the structure of a housing (215, 225) according to one embodiment.

According to one embodiment, the housing (215, 225) may include an opening (720). Through the opening (720), a connecting member (230) may be inserted into the interior of the housing (215, 225).

According to one embodiment, the housing (215, 225) may include a third space (730) in which electronic components are arranged. For example, if the electronic device (101) includes a first speaker assembly (210), a first speaker included in the first speaker assembly (210) may be arranged in the third space (730) inside the first housing (215). However, the present invention is not limited thereto.

According to one embodiment, a housing (215, 225) may include a fourth space (740) in which a molding member (e.g., 250 of FIGS. 1 and 10 to 15) is disposed. The fourth space (740) may be formed at a location adjacent to the opening (720). The fourth space (740) may be a space connected to the opening (720).

For example, the housing (215, 225) may include a partition wall (710) that divides the space within the first housing (215) into a third space (730) and a fourth space (740). For example, the partition wall (710) may be arranged to surround at least a portion of the space connected to the opening (720). For example, the partition wall (710) within the housing (215, 225) may be formed at a position adjacent to the opening (720). For example, the housing (215, 225) may include a partition wall (710) that is connected to the opening (720) and divides the space within the first housing (215) into a third space (730) and a fourth space (740). For example, the housing (215, 225) may include a partition wall (710) that forms a fourth space (740) in which a molding member (e.g., 250 of FIGS. 1 and 10 to 15) may be placed. The molding member (250) may be accommodated in the fourth space (740) formed by the partition wall (710) and thereby coupled to the housing (215, 225). When the molding member (250) is accommodated in close contact with the fourth space (740) formed by the partition wall (710), the housing (215) and the molding member (250) may be more firmly coupled.

FIG. 8 is a drawing illustrating at least a portion of a housing for explaining the internal structure of a space (740) in which a molding member (250) is placed within the housing (215, 225) according to one embodiment.

The description of the housing (215, 225) corresponds to the description of Fig. 7, so any overlapping content will be omitted.

According to one embodiment, a housing (215, 225) may include a fourth space (740) in which a molding member (e.g., 250 of FIGS. 1 and 10 to 15) is disposed. The fourth space (740) may be formed at a position adjacent to the opening (720). The fourth space (740) may be a space connected to the opening (720). The molding member (e.g., 250 of FIGS. 1 and 10 to 15) may be disposed so as to be in close contact with the fourth space (740) inside the housing (215, 225). The molding member (e.g., 250 of FIGS. 1 and 10 to 15) may be disposed in the fourth space (740) inside the housing (215, 225), thereby forming an internal space in which a connecting member (230) and a catching member (240) are accommodated.

According to one embodiment, the inner surface of the housing (215, 225) forming the fourth space (740) may include a recess (810, 820, 830) in which at least one of a connecting member (230) or a hooking member (240) is disposed.

In one embodiment, the housing (215, 225) may include a first recess (810) in which the connecting member (230) is disposed. In one embodiment, the housing (215, 225) may not include the first recess (810) in which the connecting member (230) is disposed. The first recess (810) may be formed at a position furthest from the opening (720) within the fourth space (740).

According to one embodiment, the housing (215, 225) may include a second recess (820) in which a body portion (242) of a catch member (240) is disposed. The second recess (820) may be formed within a fourth space (740) and connected to an opening (720). For example, a diameter of an internal space formed by the second recess (820) may correspond to a diameter of a body portion (242) of a catch member (240) with respect to a center of the catch member (240). For example, a diameter of an internal space formed by the second recess (820) may be formed larger than a diameter of a body portion (242) of a catch member (240) with respect to a center of the catch member (240). The body portion (242) of the catch member (240) may rotate within the space formed by the second recess (820). For example, the internal space formed by the second recess (820) may have a smaller diameter than the internal space formed by the third recess (830). The internal diameter of the space formed by the second recess (820) may be formed to be smaller than the diameter of the protrusion (244) of the engaging member (240) with respect to the center of the engaging member (240). In this case, the connecting member (230) and the engaging member (240) disposed on the recesses (810, 820, 830) may be maintained in a coupled state without falling out through the opening (720).

According to one embodiment, the housing (215, 225) may include a third recess (830) in which a protrusion (244) of the catch member (240) is disposed. The third recess (830) may include a portion of the second recess (820) that is more sunken than the second recess (820). For example, the third recess (830) may be formed within the fourth space (740) at a greater distance from the opening (720) than the second recess (820). For example, the diameter of the internal space formed by the third recess (830) may correspond to the diameter of the protrusion (244) of the catch member (240) with respect to the center of the catch member (240). For example, the diameter of the internal space formed by the third recess (830) may be formed to be larger than the diameter of the protrusion (244) of the catch member (240) with respect to the center of the catch member (240). The protrusion (244) of the catch member (240) may rotate within the space formed by the third recess (830). For example, the internal space formed by the third recess (830) may have a larger diameter than the internal space formed by the second recess (820).

FIG. 9 is a drawing showing different cross-sections of the housing (215, 225) to explain the internal structure of the housing (215, 225) according to one embodiment.

A - A' cross-section, B - B' cross-section, and C - C' cross-section are cross-sections of the housing (215, 225) viewed from the opening (720), and are cross-sections of the housing (215, 225) at the farthest distance from the opening (720) in that order, to the cross-section of the housing (215, 225) at the closest distance from the opening (720).

A-A' cross section is a cross section of the housing (215, 225) including a first recess (810) and viewed from the opening (720). The first recess (810) may be formed at a position furthest from the opening (720) compared to the second recess (820) and the third recess (830). One end of the connecting member (230) may be placed on the first recess (810). The inner diameter of the space formed by the first recess (810) may be formed smaller than the diameter of the protrusion (244) of the engaging member (240) based on the center of the engaging member (240). In this case, since the protrusion (244) of the catch member (240) cannot pass through the A - A' cross section, the connecting member (230) and the catch member (240) placed on the recesses (810, 820, 830) can be maintained in a combined state without falling out in the opposite direction of the opening (720).

The B-B' cross section includes a second recess (820) and a third recess (830), and is a cross section of the housing (215, 225) viewed from the opening (720). A catch member (240) may be disposed on the B-B' cross section. A body portion (242) of the catch member (240) may be disposed on the second recess (820). The second recess (820) may be formed to be connected to the opening (720). For example, the diameter of the internal space formed by the second recess (820) may correspond to the diameter of the body portion (242) of the catch member (240) based on the center of the catch member (240). For example, the diameter of the internal space formed by the second recess (820) may be formed to be larger than the diameter of the body portion (242) of the catch member (240) with respect to the center of the catch member (240). The body portion (242) of the catch member (240) may rotate within the space formed by the second recess (820). For example, the internal space formed by the second recess (820) may have a smaller diameter than the internal space formed by the third recess (830).

The third recess (830) may include a portion of the second recess (820) that is more sunken than the second recess (820). The protrusion (244) of the catch member (240) may be arranged on the third recess (830). For example, the third recess (830) may be formed at a greater distance from the opening (720) within the fourth space (740) than the second recess (820). For example, the diameter of the internal space formed by the third recess (830) may correspond to the diameter of the protrusion (244) of the catch member (240) with respect to the center of the catch member (240). For example, the diameter of the internal space formed by the third recess (830) may be formed larger than the diameter of the protrusion (244) of the catch member (240) with respect to the center of the catch member (240). Within the space formed by the third recess (830), the protrusion (244) of the catch member (240) can rotate. For example, the internal space formed by the third recess (830) may have a larger diameter than the internal space formed by the second recess (820).

In one embodiment, by adjusting the shape of the third recess (830), the range in which the catch member (240) can rotate within the third recess can be adjusted. Accordingly, the range in which the housing (215, 225) can rotate with respect to the connecting member (230) surrounded by the catch member (240) can be adjusted. In one embodiment, the protrusion (244) of the catch member (240) can be accommodated within a space formed by the first housing (215) and the molding member (250) so as to face the inner surface of the third recess (830). The protrusion (244) of the catch member (240) can rotate along the inner surface of the third recess (830) within the space (e.g., 830 and 1330 of FIG. 13) formed by the first housing (215) and the molding member (250).

According to one embodiment, the outer surface of the protrusion (244) of the catch member (240) may include a boundary surface (e.g., 245, 246 of FIG. 2) adjacent to the boundary between the body portion (242) and the protrusion (244). The boundary surface (e.g., 245, 246 of FIG. 2) adjacent to the boundary between the body portion (242) and the protrusion (244) may contact the boundary surface (831) of the third recess (830) within a space (e.g., 830 and 1330 of FIG. 13) formed by the first housing (215) and the molding member (250). When the boundary surface (245, 246) adjacent to the boundary between the body portion (242) and the protrusion (244) comes into contact with the boundary surface of the third recess (830) within the space (e.g., 830 and 1330 of FIG. 13) formed by the first housing (215) and the molding member (250), the first housing (215) can be caught on the protrusion (244) of the catch member (240) and fixed so that it cannot rotate any further. Accordingly, the area of the third recess (830) can be set differently on the B - B' cross section, and in this case, the range in which the housing (215, 225) can rotate with respect to the connecting member (230) surrounded by the catch member (240) can be adjusted.

The C-C' cross section is a cross section of the housing (215, 225) as viewed from the opening (720), and includes the second recess (830). The position closest to the opening (720) may not include the third recess (830), and only the second recess (820) may be formed. The inner diameter of the space formed by the second recess (820) may be formed smaller than the diameter that the protrusion (244) of the engaging member (240) has with respect to the center of the engaging member (240). In this case, since the protrusion (244) of the engaging member (240) cannot pass through the C-C' cross section, the connecting member (230) and the engaging member (240) disposed on the recesses (810, 820, 830) can be maintained in a coupled state without coming out through the opening (720).

Fig. 10 is a perspective view and a perspective view illustrating the direction in which a connecting member and a catching member are inserted into a housing according to one embodiment. Fig. 11 is a drawing illustrating a state in which a molding member is inserted into a housing according to one embodiment. Fig. 12 is a drawing illustrating a state in which a connecting member and a catching member are arranged in an internal space created by a molding member being joined to a housing according to one embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 10, the connecting member (230) and the catching member (240) can be inserted into the first housing (215) toward the first direction (280). The connecting member (230) and the catching member (240) can be inserted into the first housing (215) through an opening (e.g., 217 of FIG. 1, 720 of FIGS. 7 to 9). The body portion (242) of the catching member (240) can be disposed on a second recess (e.g., 820 of FIGS. 8 to 9) of the first housing (215). The protrusion (244) of the catching member (240) can be disposed on a third recess (e.g., 830 of FIGS. 8 to 9) of the first housing (215).

Referring to FIG. 11, when the connecting member (230) and the catching member (240) are inserted into the first housing (215), the molding member (250) may be placed inside the first housing (215). According to one embodiment, the molding member (250) may be placed inside the first housing (215) to surround at least a portion of the connecting member (230) and the catching member (240). By placing the molding member (250) inside the first housing (215), the connecting member (230) and the catching member (240) may be surrounded by the molding member (250) and the first housing (215).

Referring to Fig. 12, a connecting member (230) and a hooking member (240) can be placed in the internal space formed by combining a molding member (250) with a housing. In the state illustrated in Fig. 12, the first housing (215) can be assembled.

FIGS. 13 and 14 are cross-sectional views illustrating an example of rotation of a catch member (240) positioned within a space formed by combining a housing (215, 225) and a molding member (250) according to one embodiment.

Identification numbers 1310 in FIG. 13 and 1410 in FIG. 14 are both perspective views showing a state in which a catch member (240) and a molding member (250) are arranged on the first housing (215).

Identification numbers 1315 in FIG. 13 and 1415 in FIG. 14 are both cross-sectional drawings showing a state in which a catch member (240) and a molding member (250) are arranged on a portion of the first housing (215) corresponding to the B-B' cross-section of FIG. 9.

Based on the cross-section corresponding to the B-B' cross-section of FIG. 9, if the state in which the protrusion (244) of the catch member (240) can no longer be rotated counterclockwise is referred to as the first state, identification numbers 1310 and 1315 of FIG. 13 are drawings showing a state in which the protrusion (244) is rotated 30° clockwise based on the first state, and identification numbers 1410 and 1415 of FIG. 14 are drawings showing a state in which the protrusion (244) is rotated 90° clockwise based on the first state.

Referring to FIGS. 13 and 14, a catch member (240) and a molding member (250) can be combined on the first housing (215) to form an internal space (1300).

An internal space (1300) formed by arranging a catch member (240) and a molding member (250) on a first housing (215) may include a first space (1300). The first space (1300) may be formed by a second recess (820) of the first housing (215) and a fourth recess (1320) of the molding member (250). The first space (1300) may be a circular space having a first diameter in a cross-section (e.g., B-B' cross-section in FIG. 9) that is perpendicular to a first direction (e.g., 280 in FIG. 1) and adjacent to an opening (e.g., 217 in FIG. 1, 720 in FIG. 7) of the first housing (215). A body portion (242) of the catch member (240) may be accommodated in the first space (1300). The body portion (242) of the catch member (240) can rotate within the first space (1300). The body portion (242) of the catch member (240) can rotate along the inner surface of the first space (1300). The outer surface of the body portion (242) of the catch member (240) can be arranged to face the inner surface of the first space (1300).

An internal space (1300) formed by arranging a catch member (240) and a molding member (250) on a first housing (215) may include a second space (1320). The second space (1320) may be formed by a third recess (830) of the first housing (215) and a fifth recess (1330) of the molding member (250). The second space (1320) may be a space having a shape that includes a portion of a circle having a second diameter greater than a first diameter in a cross-section (e.g., B-B' cross-section in FIG. 9) that is perpendicular to the first direction (e.g., 280 in FIG. 1) and adjacent to an opening (e.g., 217 in FIG. 1, 720 in FIG. 7) of the first housing (215). A protrusion (244) of the catch member (240) may be accommodated in the second space (1320). The protrusion (244) of the catch member (240) can rotate within the second space (1320). The protrusion (242) of the catch member (240) can rotate along the inner surface of the second space (1320). The outer surface of the protrusion (242) of the catch member (240) can be arranged to face the inner surface of the second space (1320).

When the boundary surface (e.g., 245, 246 in FIG. 6) between the protrusion (244) and the body portion (242) is in contact with the boundary surface (831) of the third recess (830) of the first housing (215) or the boundary surface (1340) of the fifth recess (1330) of the molding member (250), the engaging member (240) is caught on the boundary surface (831, 1340) and cannot rotate beyond the boundary surface (831, 1340). For example, when the boundary surface (e.g., 245, 246 in FIG. 6) between the protrusion (244) and the body portion (242) is in contact with the boundary surface (1340) of the fifth recess (1330) of the molding member (250), the engaging member (240) is caught on the boundary surface (1340) and cannot rotate further in the counterclockwise direction beyond the boundary surface (1340). For example, when the boundary surface (e.g., 245, 246 in FIG. 6) between the protrusion (244) and the body portion (242) is in contact with the boundary surface (831) of the third recess (830) of the first housing (215), the engaging member (240) is caught on the boundary surface (831) and cannot rotate further in the clockwise direction beyond the boundary surface (831).

Referring to identification numbers 1315 of FIG. 13 and 1415 of FIG. 14, the range in which the engaging member (240) can rotate within the third recess can be adjusted by adjusting at least one of the shape of the third recess (830) of the first housing (215) or the shape of the fifth recess (1330) of the molding member (250). Accordingly, the range in which the housing (215, 225) can rotate with respect to the connecting member (230) surrounded by the engaging member (240) can be adjusted. In one embodiment, the protrusion (244) of the engaging member (240) can be accommodated within the space formed by the first housing (215) and the molding member (250) so as to face the inner surface of the third recess (830) of the first housing (215) and the inner surface of the fifth recess (1330) of the molding member (250). The protrusion (244) of the catch member (240) can rotate along the inner surface of the third recess (830) of the first housing (215) and the inner surface of the fifth recess (1330) of the molding member (250) within a space (e.g., 830 and 1330 in FIG. 13) formed by the first housing (215) and the molding member (250).

According to one embodiment, the outer surface of the protrusion (244) of the catch member (240) may include a boundary surface (e.g., 245, 246 in FIG. 2) adjacent to the boundary between the body portion (242) and the protrusion (244). The boundary surface (e.g., 245, 246 in FIG. 2) adjacent to the boundary between the body portion (242) and the protrusion (244) may contact the boundary surface (831) of the third recess (830) or the boundary surface (1340) of the fifth recess (1330) within the internal space (1300) formed by the first housing (215) and the molding member (250). When the boundary surface (245, 246) adjacent to the boundary between the body portion (242) and the protrusion (244) comes into contact with the boundary surface of the third recess (830) within the space (e.g., 830 and 1330 of FIG. 13) formed by the first housing (215) and the molding member (250), the first housing (215) or the molding member (250) coupled to the first housing (215) can be caught by the protrusion (244) of the catch member (240) and fixed so that it cannot rotate any further. Accordingly, the areas of the inner surfaces of the third recess (830) and the fifth recess (1330) can be set differently on the cross-section of the identification number 1315 or the identification number 1415, and accordingly, the range in which the housing (215, 225) can rotate with respect to the connecting member (230) surrounded by the catch member (240) can be adjusted. For example, on the cross-section of identification number 1315, the area of the inner surface of the molding member (250) forming the space corresponding to identification number 1350 is set differently, thereby adjusting the range in which the housing (215, 225) can rotate with respect to the connecting member (230) surrounded by the engaging member (240).

FIG. 15 is a perspective view illustrating the structure of a molding member (250) according to one embodiment.

The molding member (250) may be disposed within the first housing (215) to form a space where at least a portion of the engaging member (240) and a portion of the connecting member (230) are accommodated between the molding member (250) and the first housing (215). According to one embodiment, at least a portion of the molding member (250) may include an elastic material. The molding member (250) including the elastic material may be in close contact with the interior of the first housing (215) to surround the connecting member (230) and the engaging member (240). The molding member (250) may be in close contact with the interior of the first housing (215) to prevent external foreign substances or moisture from penetrating into the space where the connecting member (230) and the engaging member (240) are disposed. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent foreign substances or moisture from penetrating into the interior of the first housing (215) from the exterior through the opening (e.g., 280 of FIG. 1).

According to one embodiment, the molding member (250) may include a first molding member (251) and a second molding member (252).

For example, the first molding member (251) can surround the catch member (240). The first molding member can be positioned at least in a portion of the catch member (240) and an area adjacent to the connecting member (230), so that the catch member (240) can rotate within an internal space (e.g., 1300 of FIG. 13) formed by the first molding member (251) and the first housing (215). For example, the first molding member (251) can be made of a harder material than the second molding member (252). The first molding member (251) can be made of a hard material having a low coefficient of friction, so that the catch member can rotate with low friction within an internal space (e.g., 1300 of FIG. 13) formed by the first molding member and the first housing.

For example, the second molding member (252) can surround the first molding member (251). For example, the second molding member (252) can include a material that is softer than the first molding member (251). For example, the first molding member (251) can be made of a soft material to seal a space in which the catch member (240) is arranged. For example, the first molding member (251) can be arranged to be in close contact with the catch member (240). For example, the first molding member (251) made of a soft material can be in close contact with the catch member (240) to surround the catch member (240), thereby preventing foreign substances or moisture from penetrating the space in which the catch member (240) is arranged. The second molding member can be in close contact with the first housing to seal the third space from the outside of the wearable device. The second molding member (252) can be tightly fitted to the interior of the first housing (215) to prevent external foreign substances or moisture from penetrating into the space where the connecting member (230) and the engaging member (240) are arranged. Accordingly, foreign substances or moisture can be prevented from penetrating into the interior of the first housing (215) from the outside through the opening (e.g., 280 in FIG. 1).

A wearable device according to one embodiment of the present disclosure may include a first speaker assembly including a first speaker and a first housing, and a second speaker assembly including a second speaker and a second housing. The wearable device may include a connecting member that connects the first housing and the second housing and is inserted into the first housing such that one end faces a first direction through an opening of the first housing. The wearable device may include a molding member that includes a cylindrical body portion surrounding at least a portion of the connecting member and a protrusion protruding from at least a portion of the body portion. A space formed by the first housing and the molding member may include a second space including a portion of a circle having a first diameter, a second cross-section that is perpendicular to the first direction and is further from the opening of the first housing than the first cross-section, and a portion of a circle having a second diameter greater than the first diameter. The protrusion may be accommodated in a space having a shape of a portion of the circle having the second diameter in the second space.

In a wearable device according to one embodiment, the catch member can be rotatably received within the space formed by the first housing and the molding member, and the protrusion of the catch member can be rotatable within the second space.

In a wearable device according to one embodiment, the catch member may be rotatably received about an axis facing the first direction within the space formed by the first housing and the molding member, and the protrusion of the catch member may be rotatable about an axis facing the first direction within the second space.

In a wearable device according to one embodiment, the first housing may include a first inner surface forming a portion of the first space, the molding member may include a second inner surface forming a portion of the first space, the first inner surface and the second inner surface may face the body portion of the catching member, and the catching member may be rotatable along the inner surface with at least a portion of the body portion within the first space.

In a wearable device according to one embodiment, the fourth inner surface may include a first surface that contacts the first side surface when the engaging member rotates in a first rotational direction, and a second surface that contacts the second side surface when the engaging member rotates in a second rotational direction opposite to the first rotational direction.

In one embodiment, the first housing may include a third inner surface forming a portion of the second space. The molding member may include a fourth inner surface forming a portion of the second space. The protrusion may include a curved surface corresponding to a curvature of a curved surface included in at least one of the third inner surface or the fourth inner surface, a first side surface extending from one side of the curved surface, and a second side surface extending from the other side of the curved surface. At least one of at least a portion of the third inner surface or at least a portion of the fourth inner surface may face the protrusion of the catch member. The protrusion of the catch member may be rotatable along at least one of the third inner surface or the fourth inner surface.

According to one embodiment, the fourth inner surface may include a first surface that contacts the first side surface when the engaging member rotates in a first rotational direction, and a second surface that contacts the second side surface when the engaging member rotates in a second rotational direction opposite to the first rotational direction.

According to one embodiment, the third inner surface may include a third surface that contacts the first side surface when the engaging member rotates in the first rotational direction, and a fourth surface that contacts the second side surface when the engaging member rotates in a second rotational direction opposite to the first rotational direction.

According to one embodiment, the protrusion may be rotatable within a range of 90° about an axis facing the first direction within the second space.

According to one embodiment, the body portion may include a cylindrical shape having a third diameter corresponding to the first diameter of the first cross-section. The protrusion portion may include a fan-shaped shape having a fourth diameter corresponding to the second diameter of the second cross-section.

According to one embodiment, at least a portion of the molding member may comprise an elastic material.

In one embodiment, the molding member may include a first molding member surrounding the catch member. The molding member may include a second molding member surrounding the first molding member and including a material softer than the first molding member.
