Abstract

A wearable electronic device includes a main body and a battery module to provide power to the main body. The main body includes a first power contact arranged on a bottom thereof and a first magnet arranged therein. The battery module includes a sealed case, a battery received in the case, a second magnet received in the case, and a second power contact arranged on an upper surface of the case and configured to electrically connect to the battery. When the main body and the battery module are attached to each other through magnetic attractive force between the first magnet and the second magnet, the second power contact is electrically connected to the first power contact.

Claims

1. A wearable electronic device comprising:

a main body comprising a first magnet arranged therein and a first power contact arranged on a bottom thereof; and

a battery module comprising;

a sealed case;

a battery received in the sealed case;

a second magnet received in the sealed case; and

a second power contact arranged on an upper surface of the seal case and configured to electrically connect to a power pin of the battery, wherein when the main body and the battery module are attached to each other through magnetic attraction between the first magnet and the second magnet, the second power contact is electrically connected to the first power contact.

2. The wearable electronic device as described in claim 1, wherein the sealed case comprises a cover and a base tightly connected to the cover, and the second power contact is arranged on an upper surface of the cover.

3. The wearable electronic device as described in claim 1, wherein the main body comprises a convex surface and the sealed case comprises a concave surface corresponding to the convex surface.

4. The wearable electronic device as described in claim 3, wherein the first power contact is arranged on the convex surface, the second power contact is arranged on the concave surface, and the contacts of the battery are configured to electrically connect to the second power contact.

5. The wearable electronic device as described in claim 1, wherein the first power contact and the second power contact are made of copper or iron.

6. The wearable electronic device as described in claim 1, wherein the main body comprises at least two first power contacts, the battery module comprises at least two second power contacts and the battery comprises at least two power pins corresponding to the at least two first power contacts.

7. The wearable electronic device as described in claim 1 being a mobile phone, a media player, or a camera.

8. The wearable electronic device as described in claim 1 being a wristwatch.
