Abstract

A shock and water resistant housing for a wearable device includes a first housing and a second housing assembled with the first housing, the first housing includes a first sleeve and a second sleeve contained in the first sleeve and the second housing includes a cover and a sealing ring embedded and fixed in the cover. The sealing ring is disposed on a junction of the first housing and the second housing for sealing the first housing and the second housing. A wearable electronic device using the housing is also provided.

Claims (29)

1. A housing comprising:

a first housing comprising:

a first sleeve defining a first end and a second end opposite to the first end, the first end having a first end opening, the second end having a second end opening, the first end defining a first clamping slot, the second end defining a second clamping slot;

a second sleeve substantially encircling the first sleeve, the second sleeve having a first portion and a second portion opposite to the first portion, the first portion having a first portion opening corresponding to the first end opening, the second portion having a second portion opening corresponding to the second end opening;

a second housing comprising:

a sealing ring attached to the second end of the first sleeve and the second portion of the second sleeve; and

a cover coupled to the second sleeve and substantially covering the second end opening and the second portion opening;

wherein a width of the second sleeve is equal to a depth of the second clamping slot, the second sleeve is latched in the second clamping slot.

2. The housing of claim 1 , wherein the cover forms a connection portion surrounded and wrapped by the sealing ring.

3. The housing of claim 1 , wherein the first sleeve and the sealing ring are made of thermoplastic polyurethane elastomers.

4. The housing of claim 1 , wherein the second sleeve is made of metal.

5. The housing of claim 1 , wherein the second sleeve forms a plurality of bearing members, each bearing member defines a fixed pillar having a fixed hole, the second housing defines a plurality of mounting holes aligned with the fixed holes.

6. A wearable electronic device comprising:

a housing comprising:

a first housing comprising:

a first sleeve defining a first end and a second end opposite to the first end, the first end having a first end opening, the second end having a second end opening, the first end defining a first clamping slot, the second end defining a second clamping slot;

a second sleeve substantially encircling the first sleeve, the second sleeve having a first portion and a second portion opposite to the first portion, the first portion having a first portion opening corresponding to the first end opening, the second portion having a second portion opening corresponding to the second end opening;

a second housing comprising:

a sealing ring attached to the second end of the first sleeve and the second portion of the second sleeve; and

a cover coupled to the second sleeve and substantially covering the second end opening and the second portion opening

a display member embedded and fixed in the first housing; and

a connection member rotatably connected to the first housing;

wherein a width of the second sleeve is equal to a depth of the second clamping slot, the second sleeve is latched in the second clamping slot.

7. The wearable electronic device of claim 6 , wherein the first sleeve comprises two opposite first side surfaces and two opposite second side surfaces connected to the two first side surfaces, each first side surface forms a connection portion to connect to the connection member.

8. The wearable electronic device of claim 7 , wherein each side of the connection member includes a connection pole rotatably connected into each connection portion.

9. The wearable electronic device of claim 6 , wherein the cover forms a connection portion surrounded and wrapped by the sealing ring.

10. The wearable electronic device of claim 6 , wherein the first sleeve and the sealing ring are made of thermoplastic polyurethane elastomers.

11. The wearable electronic device of claim 6 , wherein the second sleeve is made of metal.

12. The wearable electronic device of claim 6 , wherein the second housing defines a plurality of bearing members, each bearing member defines a fixed pillar having a fixed hole, the second housing defines a plurality of mounting holes aligned with the fixed holes.
