[0036] In order to make the above-mentioned purposes, features and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0037] The dial body and the strap of the integrated smart watch are integrated. If the strap breaks, when the user wants to replace the strap, the user can only disassemble the dial body or the strap at the same time and replace the dial body at the same time. The replacement cost is high. In addition, since the watch movement needs to be disassembled from the dial body, frequent disassembly and assembly of the watch movement is also easy to damage the watch movement, reducing the service life of the watch movement. Similarly, if only the dial body is worn or bruised, the user has to replace the strap at the same time, which is costly. Therefore, for users, the integrated watch is inconvenient to use.

[0038] Figure 1 Schematic diagram of the exploded structure of the quick-connect assembly provided in an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2 A schematic cross-sectional view of a quick-connect assembly according to an embodiment of the present invention Figure 1 , Figure 3 A schematic cross-sectional view of a quick-connect assembly according to an embodiment of the present invention Figure 2 , see Figures 1 to 3 The present embodiment provides a quick-connect assembly that can connect a watch dial body and a watch strap, or separate the watch dial body and the watch strap. The quick-connect assembly includes: a protrusion 10 extending along a first direction and a plug-in slot 20 plugged into the protrusion 10; a clamping portion 11 is formed on the protrusion 10; a mounting hole 21 is formed on the inner wall surface of the plug-in slot 20 along a second direction, and a plug-in component 30 is inserted into the mounting hole 21. The plug-in component 30 can move relative to the plug-in slot 20 along the second direction so that the plug-in component 30 is engaged and fixedly connected with the clamping portion 11 or the plug-in component 30 is separated from the clamping portion 11. The second direction has a preset angle with the first direction.

[0039] Specifically, the quick-connect assembly provided in this embodiment can be applied to a watch, wherein the watch may include a dial body, a watch strap, and a quick-connect assembly. The dial body may be square, round, or other shapes; the dial body may be made of plastic, rubber, or metal; and the dial body may be composed of a first shell and a second shell that are detachably connected to facilitate inspection of the internal components of the dial body.

[0040] The watch strap is in the shape of a strip and can be made of plastic, rubber, metal, etc. The watch strap can include a first connecting strap and a second connecting strap. The first end of the first connecting strap can be connected to the dial body through a quick-connect assembly. The second end of the first connecting strap is provided with a first connector. The first end of the second connecting strap can also be connected to the dial body through a quick-connect assembly. The second end of the second connecting strap is provided with a second connector. The first connector and the second connector are detachably connected for the user to wear or take off the watch. The first connector can be one of a plug and a buckle, and the second connector can be the other of the plug and the buckle. It is understandable that the number of watch straps can also be one. For example, both ends of the watch strap are provided with a plug-in slot 20, and two protrusions 10 are provided on both sides of the dial body. The watch strap is connected to the dial body through the plug-in slots 20 at both ends in a ring shape for the user to wear.

[0041] A watch core assembly for timing can be set inside the dial body. The watch core assembly may include an internal timing component and a dial. A through hole for fixing the dial is formed on the dial body, so that the dial can be exposed to the outside of the dial body; the timing component can be a mechanical component or an internet-connected electronic component, and the real-time time is displayed through the dial to remind the user of the current time.

[0042] The quick-connect assembly includes: a protrusion 10 and a connecting slot 20 connected to the protrusion 10, wherein the protrusion 10 can be set on the dial body and the connecting slot 20 can be set on the watch strap, or the protrusion 10 can be set on the watch strap and the connecting slot 20 can be set on the dial body, which is not limited in this embodiment.

[0043] The protrusion 10 extends along a first direction, and the insertion groove 20 is recessed along the first direction. The first direction may be any direction in a three-dimensional space. For example, for ease of description, Figure 1 As shown, X, Y and Z are used to represent three coordinate axes that are perpendicular to each other. The X-axis, Y-axis and Z-axis can form a coordinate system, and the watch is placed in the coordinate system. The first direction can be parallel to the X-axis, and the protrusion 10 or the plug-in slot 20 can be moved toward each other along the X-axis direction to achieve the protrusion 10 being plugged into the plug-in slot 20.

[0044] In order to optimize the engagement effect between the protrusion 10 and the plug-in slot 20, a snap-fitting portion 11 is provided on the protrusion 10, and a plug-in connector 30 is provided on the plug-in slot 20. When the protrusion 10 and the plug-in slot 20 are plugged in, the plug-in connector 30 engages with the snap-fitting portion 11. Specifically, a mounting hole 21 along a second direction is provided on the side wall of the plug-in slot 20. The second direction has a preset angle with the first direction, that is, the second direction may not be colinear with the X-axis. Preferably, the second direction may be along the Z-axis direction perpendicular to the X-axis.

[0045] This embodiment provides an implementation scheme as follows, the mounting hole 21 may not pass through the side wall of the plug-in slot 20, for example, the mounting hole 21 includes a sliding hole connected to the inner wall surface of the plug-in slot 20 and a clamping hole connected to the sliding hole, the sliding hole may be along the Z-axis direction, the clamping hole may be arranged inside the side wall of the plug-in slot 20, the sliding hole may be T-shaped with the clamping hole, a clamping block is provided at the position corresponding to the plug-in component 30 and the clamping hole, the extension length of the clamping hole along the axis direction of the sliding hole is greater than the extension length of the clamping block along the axis direction of the sliding hole, so that the plug-in component 30 can move relative to the plug-in slot 20.

[0046] Furthermore, the end of the connector 30 facing away from the snap-in block is used to be engaged and fixedly connected with the snap-in portion 11, and a slot can be formed at the end of the connector 30 facing away from the snap-in block, with the opening of the slot facing the protrusion 10, and the slot can pass through the connector 30 along the Y-axis direction; the snap-in portion 11 can be the protrusion 10 itself, and the thickness of the protrusion 10 along the Z-axis direction is smaller than the opening size of the plug-in slot 20 along the Z-axis direction, and the plug-in slot 20 can be an elastic member, so that when the protrusion 10 is engaged in the slot, the slot can clamp the protrusion 10 to form a connection, and when it is necessary to disconnect the protrusion 10 and the plug-in slot 20, the user can separate the watch strap from the dial body by moving the connector 30 in the opposite direction, which is convenient to use.

[0047] The quick-connect assembly provided in this embodiment allows the watch dial and strap to be detachably connected. When the wearer puts on the watch, they first connect the dial and strap using the quick-connect assembly, then form a ring-shaped connection between the dial and strap for easy wearing. If the dial is dented or the strap breaks, the user can disconnect the quick-connect assembly by moving the connector 30, and only need to remove the dial or strap.

[0048] The quick-connect assembly provided in this embodiment facilitates the user to disassemble the dial body or the watch strap, thereby improving the versatility of the dial body and the watch strap and reducing the maintenance cost of the watch.

[0049] Figure 4 for Figures 1 to 3 Schematic diagram of the structure of the plug-in connector, Figure 5 for Figures 1 to 3 For a schematic diagram of the structure of the raised part, please refer to Figures 2 to 5When the cam 31 is in the unlocked position, the protrusion 32 is locked and the locking cam 31 is locked.

[0050] Specifically, the connector 30 includes a pin 31 and a protrusion 32. The pin 31 is inserted into the mounting hole 21 and can move back and forth along the axial direction of the mounting hole 21. Specifically, in this embodiment, the movement of the pin 31 relative to the mounting hole 21 may refer to the pin 31 being inserted into the mounting hole 21 and being able to move back and forth along the axial direction of the mounting hole 21. It may also refer to the relative movement of the pin 31 relative to the mounting hole 21 due to the elastic deformation of the pin 31. For example, in this embodiment, the connector 30 may be an elastic rubber part.

[0051] The protrusion 32 is located in the insertion groove 20 , and the cross-sectional area of ​​the protrusion 32 is larger than the cross-sectional area of ​​the pin 31 , thereby preventing the connector 30 from falling off from the mounting hole 21 .

[0052] The clamping portion 11 includes a pin hole 111 and a notch 112. Both the pin hole 111 and the notch 112 penetrate the protruding portion 10 along the second direction. The notch 112 is connected to the pin hole 111, and the notch 112 penetrates the protruding portion 10 along the first direction toward the bottom of the insertion slot 20.

[0053] To allow the pin 31 to pass through the notch 112, the maximum extension of the pin 31 along the Y-axis should be smaller than the minimum extension of the notch 112 along the Y-axis. To allow the projection 32 to fit into the pin hole 111, the cross-sectional area of ​​the pin hole 111 should be larger than that of the projection 32. Preferably, the cross-sectional shape of the pin hole 111 is the same as that of the projection 32.

[0054] The dimension of the protrusion 32 perpendicular to the first direction is greater than the dimension of the notch 112 perpendicular to the first direction, so that the protrusion 32 can be engaged in the pin hole 111 to prevent the protrusion 32 from falling out of the notch 112 and causing the quick-connect assembly to disconnect. Specifically, as mentioned above, the first direction can be along the X-axis direction, then the Y-axis direction and the Z-axis direction are both perpendicular to the X-axis direction. It can be understood that in order to prevent the dial body from being disconnected from the strap and moving along the first direction, after the protrusion 32 is engaged in the pin hole 111, the protrusion 32 should be prevented from escaping the notch 112 and moving relative to the notch 112 along the first direction. Then, the dimension of the protrusion 32 perpendicular to the first direction refers to the extended dimension of the protrusion 32 along the Y-axis direction, and the dimension of the notch 112 perpendicular to the first direction refers to the extended dimension of the notch 112 along the Y-axis direction. Further, the dimension of the protrusion 32 perpendicular to the first direction is greater than the dimension of the notch 112 perpendicular to the first direction, which means that the maximum dimension of the protrusion 32 along the Y-axis direction is smaller than the minimum dimension of the extended dimension of the notch 112 along the Y-axis direction.

[0055] After the pin shaft 31 enters the pin hole 111, the pin shaft 31 and the protrusion 32 need to be moved outward along the second direction so that the protrusion 32 falls into the pin hole 111, so as to realize the connection between the dial body and the strap through the engagement of the protrusion 32 and the pin hole 111. Specifically, in order to help the protrusion 32 fall into the pin hole 111 smoothly, the pin shaft 31 can be an elastic member, and the extension length of the pin shaft 31 along the Z-axis direction is less than the thickness of the raised portion 10 along the Z-direction. When the pin shaft 31 passes through the notch 112, the pin shaft 31 is in a stretched state. After the pin shaft 31 passes through the notch 112, the protrusion 32 can rely on its own elastic force to fall back into the pin hole 111.

[0056] When the quick-plug assembly provided in this embodiment is used to connect the dial body and the watch strap, the plug-in component 30 can be moved along the second direction so that it moves into the plug-in slot 20 and the protrusion 32 is located on the side of the protrusion 10 away from the mounting hole 21; the protrusion 10 or the plug-in slot 20 is moved toward each other along the first direction, and when the notch 112 moves to the pin shaft 31, since the extension dimension of the pin shaft 31 along the Y direction is smaller than the extension dimension of the notch 112 along the Y direction, the pin shaft 31 can pass through the notch 112; when the pin shaft 31 moves into the pin hole 111, the plug-in component 30 is moved along the second direction so that it moves away from the plug-in slot 20, so that the protrusion 32 can fall into the pin hole 111; since the dimension of the protrusion 32 perpendicular to the first direction is larger than the dimension of the notch 112 perpendicular to the first direction, the protrusion 32 cannot fall out of the notch 112, so that the protrusion 32 is engaged and fixed in the pin hole 111, thereby realizing the connection between the dial body and the watch strap.

[0057] The quick-connect assembly provided in this embodiment realizes the conversion between the connected state and the disconnected state of the dial body and the watch strap by moving the connector 30 along the second direction, and the connection is reliable.

[0058] Furthermore, when connecting the dial body and the watch strap, in order to guide the relative movement between the protrusion 32 and the protrusion 10, a guide surface can be provided on the protrusion 10 or the protrusion 32. Preferably, a first guide bevel 12 is formed between the top surface of the protrusion 10 facing away from the mounting hole 21 and the side surface of the protrusion 10 facing the bottom of the plug-in slot 20; a second guide bevel 33 is formed on the end surface of the protrusion 32 close to the pin shaft 31. When the protrusion 10 is inserted into the plug-in slot 20, the second guide bevel 33 moves along the first guide bevel 12 to cause the pin shaft 31 to move into the plug-in slot 20 along the second direction.

[0059] Specifically, the second guide bevel 33 can be the side surface of the protrusion 32, the protrusion 32 is conical, and the size of the connection end of the protrusion 32 and the pin shaft 31 is smaller than the size of the end of the protrusion 32 away from the pin shaft 31; the second guide bevel 33 can also be the lower end surface of the protrusion 32, and on the cross-section perpendicular to the Z axis, the cross-sectional area of ​​the second guide bevel 33 gradually increases from the end connected to the pin shaft 31 to the end connected to the protrusion 32.

[0060] When the quick-insert assembly provided in this embodiment is used to connect the dial body and the watch strap, the protrusion 10 is inserted into the insertion groove 20, and the pin shaft 31 passes through the notch 112 until the first guide bevel 12 contacts and abuts against the second guide bevel 33. The user continues to move the dial body and the watch strap toward each other along the first direction. Then, while the pin shaft 31 continues to pass through the notch 112, the protrusion 32 moves on the first guide bevel 12. At the same time, the first guide bevel 12 of the protrusion 10 can also provide a driving force along the second direction for the protrusion 32, so that the connector 30 can move toward the inside of the insertion groove 20, so that the protrusion 32 can move to the side of the protrusion 10 away from the mounting hole 21 until the pin shaft 31 moves into the pin hole 111.

[0061] The quick-connect assembly provided in this embodiment avoids the need for the user to manually move the connector 30 when connecting the dial body and the watch strap, thereby reducing the number of operating steps and facilitating use.

[0062] See also Figure 2 and Figure 3 An accommodating groove 22 is formed on the inner wall surface of the insertion groove 20 opposite to the mounting hole 21 , and the accommodating groove 22 is used to accommodate the protrusion 32 .

[0063] In the process of connecting the dial body and the watch strap, or disconnecting the dial body and the watch strap, the connector 30 needs to be moved along the second direction. In order to prevent the protrusion 32 at the end of the connector 30 from interfering and colliding with the inner wall surface of the plug-in slot 20, a receiving groove 22 can be provided on the inner wall surface of the plug-in slot 20. The receiving groove 22 is provided on the wall surface opposite to the mounting hole 21, wherein the cross-sectional area of ​​the receiving groove 22 is larger than the cross-sectional area of ​​the protrusion 32, so as to be able to accommodate the protrusion 32, thereby protecting the dial body or the watch strap and improving the service life of the watch.

[0064] Based on the above examples, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 4 , the end of the pin shaft 31 away from the protrusion 32 is also connected to the driving part 34; the mounting hole 21 includes: a first hole 211 and a second hole 212 extending along the second direction; the second hole 212 is located outside the first hole 211, and the cross-sectional size of the second hole 212 is larger than the cross-sectional size of the first hole 211; the pin shaft 31 is passed through the first hole 211, and the driving part 34 is installed in the second hole 212; the driving part 34 can move in the second hole 212 along the second direction to drive the pin shaft 31 to move along the second direction.

[0065] To facilitate user movement of the connector 30, a drive portion 34 is provided on the connector 30. The drive portion 34 can be located on one side of the outer wall of the insertion slot 20. The drive portion 34 can be a drive boss protruding from the side of the connector 30. The cross-sectional area of ​​the drive portion 34 is larger than the cross-sectional area of ​​the pin 31, making it easier for the user to operate.

[0066] The mounting hole 21 includes a first hole 211 and a second hole 212. The first hole 211 passes through the side wall of the plug-in slot 20, so that the connector 30 can be inserted into the first hole 211. The second hole 212 is set on the outer wall surface of the plug-in slot 20. The cross-sectional area of ​​the second hole 212 is larger than the cross-sectional area of ​​the first hole 211, and is used to accommodate the driving part 34, so that there are no protrusions on the outer wall surface of the dial body or the strap, which is convenient for users to wear, improves the comfort of use, and optimizes the appearance of the watch.

[0073] The quick-connect assembly provided in this embodiment is provided with a hook 35, so that when the dial body and the strap to which the quick-connect assembly is applied are in a connected state, the driving part 34 is prevented from protruding from the dial body or the outer surface of the strap, causing the driving part 34 to scratch the user's skin, thereby making it easier for the user to wear the watch and optimizing the appearance of the watch.

[0074] In addition, the number of the hook 35 can be one, or the number of the hook 35 can be multiple, and the multiple hooks 35 are arranged on the driving part 34 at equal intervals to balance the force applied to the driving part 34 .

[0075] To facilitate the movement of the connector 30 away from the connector slot 20, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 4 The quick-connect assembly further includes a spring 40, one end of which abuts against the end surface of the third hole 213 near the first hole 211, and the other end of which abuts against the inner surface of the driving portion 34. Specifically, the spring 40 is disposed between the inner surface of the driving portion 34 and the bottom wall of the second hole 212. To prevent interference between the spring 40 and the hook 35, the spring 40 can be staggered relative to the hook 35. For example, if the hook 35 and the pin 31 are both located on the X-axis, the spring 40 can be located on the Y-axis.
