[0031] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the present application provides a connector 100, the connector 100 comprising:
[0032] The main body 10 has a groove 11 and a protrusion 12 at opposite ends thereof, the groove 11 cooperating with the protrusion 12 of the other connecting member 100. The opposite inner side walls of the groove 11 are each provided with a locking groove 111, and the opposite outer side walls of the protrusion 12 are provided with a sliding hole 121. The main body 10 also has a sliding groove 13 located between the groove 11 and the protrusion 12, and the sliding groove 13 is connected to the sliding hole 121.
[0033] Two sliding pins 20, each of which is provided with a telescopic column 21 that slides and telescopes with the sliding hole 121, and a sliding block 22 that is fixed to the end of the telescopic column 21 and slides with the slide groove 13, the two sliding blocks 22 being interlocked;
[0034] An elastic member 30 is elastically connected to the two sliding blocks 22 to provide an elastic restoring force for the engaged portions of the two sliding blocks 22 to move closer together, thereby driving the telescopic column 21 to extend out of the sliding hole 121;
[0035] A pressing key 40 is slidably and pressably disposed between the groove 11 and the protrusion 12;
[0036] When the push button 40 is pressed relative to the main body 10, the engaged portions of the two sliding blocks 22 are pushed apart, thereby driving the two telescopic columns 21 to retract into the sliding holes 121, respectively, so that the telescopic columns 21 are separated from the slots 111 of the other connecting member 100.
[0037] When the push button 40 is not pressed relative to the main body 10 , the push button 40 returns to the ready-to-press state under the pushing action of the two sliding blocks 22 , so that the telescopic column 21 engages with the slot 111 of the other connecting member 100 .
[0038] It is understood that the connector 100 is used to connect to another connector 100, thereby realizing a plurality of connectors 100 connected in sequence to form a belt-like structure. The connector 100 can be applied to electronic devices, such as smart watches, wearable devices, and health bracelets. In this embodiment, the connector 100 is described as being applied to a smart watch, and the connector 100 is a watch segment of the smart watch.
[0039] The two sliding pins 20 are respectively slidably engaged with the two sliding holes 121 of the protrusion 12, and the sliding blocks 22 are embedded in each other in the sliding groove 13. The elastic member 30 is elastically connected to the two sliding blocks 22, and provides an elastic restoring force to the embedded parts of the two sliding blocks 22, so as to drive the telescopic column 21 to extend out of the sliding hole 121, so that the protrusion 12 can be fixedly engaged with the groove 11 of the other connecting member 100. The pressing key 40 can drive the two telescopic columns 21 to retract into the sliding holes 121 respectively, so that the telescopic column 21 is separated from the card slot 111 of the other connecting member 100, thereby realizing quick disassembly and assembly of the two connecting members 100.
[0040] In this embodiment, the main body 10 has a first side portion 14 and a second side portion 15 opposite to the first side portion 14, and the groove 11 and the protrusion 12 are respectively arranged on the first side portion 14 and the second side portion 15. The first side portion 14 and the second side portion 15 are respectively located on both sides of the length direction of the main body 10. The main body 10 also has a first surface 16 connected between the first side portion 14 and the second side portion 15 and a second surface 17 opposite to the first surface 16. The first surface 16 and the second surface 17 are arranged opposite to each other in the thickness direction of the main body 10. The slide groove 13 is opened on the first surface 16 and extends inwardly toward the second surface 17. The sliding guide direction of the slide groove 13 is parallel to the length direction of the main body 10. The relative directions of the two card grooves 111 are parallel to the length direction of the main body 10. The relative directions of the two sliding holes 121 are parallel to the length direction of the main body 10. The distance between the inner walls of the two grooves 11 is roughly equal to the distance between the outer walls of the two sliding holes 121, so that the protrusion 12 can cooperate with the groove 11 of the other connecting member 100, and the sliding pin 20 can be extended and retracted from the sliding hole 121 to engage or separate with the other connecting member 100.
[0041] In this embodiment, the sliding block 22 includes a first slider 221, a second slider 222 opposite the first slider 221, and a connecting rod 223 connecting the first slider 221 and the second slider 222. The first slider 221 is fixedly connected to the telescopic column 21. The two second sliders 222 engage with each other and move toward each other under the elastic force of the elastic member 30. When the push button 40 is pressed against the main body 10, the push button 40 pushes the two second sliders 222 apart. The first slider 221 is fixedly connected to the end of the telescopic column 21 received in the slide groove 13. The length of the connecting rod 223 is substantially parallel to the length of the telescopic column 21. The second slider 222 is spaced apart from the first slider 221. A movable space is formed between the second slider and the first slider 221. The second slider 222 of one of the sliding blocks 22 is located within the movable space of the other sliding block 22 and moves within the movable space of the other sliding block 22, allowing the two second sliders 222 to move toward or away from each other. When the two second sliders 222 move together under the elastic force of the elastic member 30, the two first sliders 221 move away from each other and come into contact with the inner walls of the slide groove 13 in the longitudinal direction. The two telescopic columns 21 move away from each other and partially extend out of the sliding hole 121 to engage with the retaining groove 111 on the inner wall of the groove 11 of the other connecting member 100. When the two second sliders 222 move apart under the pressure of the push button 40, the two first sliders 221 move toward each other and slide together. The two telescopic columns 21 move toward each other and retract in the sliding hole 121 to separate from the retaining groove 111 on the inner wall of the groove 11 of the other connecting member 100.
[0042] In this embodiment, the press key 40 includes a press plate 41 and a squeeze block 42 fixed to the press plate 41. The press plate 41 receives a pressing force, driving the squeeze block 42 toward the bottom surface of the chute 13. As a result, the squeeze block 42 slides between the two second sliders 222, pushing the two second sliders 222 apart. This causes the two first sliders 221 to slide toward each other, thereby driving the two telescopic columns 21 to retract into the sliding holes 121. When the press plate 41 is released, the two second sliders 222 move toward each other under the elastic force of the elastic member 30, squeezing the squeeze block 42 and causing it to retreat to a position close to the opening of the chute 13. The press plate 41 then retreats to a position adjacent to the first surface 16, ready for the next press to separate the two second sliders 222.
[0043] Furthermore, there are two elastic members 30, one end of each elastic member 30 is fixedly abutted against the first slider 221 of one of the sliding blocks 22, and the other end is abutted against the second slider 222 of the other sliding block 22. The elastic force of the elastic member 30 causes the second slider 222 of one of the sliding blocks 22 to move away from the first slider 221 of the other sliding block 22 and closer to the second slider 222 of the other sliding block 22.
[0044] In this embodiment, the two elastic members 30 act between the two sliding blocks 22 to provide an elastic restoring force to open the two sliders, that is, to provide an elastic restoring force to move the two second sliders 222 closer to each other. The elastic member 30 is a rectangular spring. One end of the elastic member 30 abuts against the side of the first slider 221 of one of the sliding blocks 22 facing the second slider 222, and the other end abuts against the side of the second slider 222 of the other sliding block 22 away from the first slider 221, thereby causing the second slider 222 of one of the sliding blocks 22 to move away from the first slider 221 of the other sliding block 22 and closer to the second slider 222 within the movable space. When the two second sliders 222 move closer to each other, the two elastic members 30 are in a pre-compressed state, so that the two sliding blocks 22 are firmly fixed in the slide groove 13 and the telescopic column 21 effectively remains extended from the sliding hole 121. When the push button 40 is pressed, the two second sliders 222 separate, allowing the second slider 222 and the first slider 221 in the other sliding hole 121 to compress the elastic member 30, causing the elastic member 30 to deform in a compressed state and the telescopic column 21 to retract into the sliding hole 121. The direction of the elastic torque of the elastic member 30 coincides with the length of the telescopic column 21, allowing the telescopic column 21 to effectively slide and retract within the sliding hole 121.
[0045] In another embodiment, see Figure 3 ,and Figure 2The illustrated embodiment is substantially the same, except that there is only one elastic member 30. One elastic member 30 is connected to two second sliders 222. The elastic member 30 pulls the two second sliders 222 toward each other. In its natural state, the elastic member 30 pulls the two second sliders 222 together, causing the two first sliders 221 to separate from each other and the two telescopic columns 21 to extend out of the sliding holes 121. When the push button 40 is pressed, the extrusion block 42 squeezes in between the two second sliders 222, pushing them apart. The elastic member 30 becomes elongated, and the telescopic columns 21 retract into the sliding holes 121. When the pressing force on the pressing plate 41 is released, the two second sliders 222 squeeze the extrusion block 42 under the pulling force of the elastic member 30, forcing the extrusion block 42 out between the two second sliders 222, and the push button 40 retracts to a position adjacent to the first surface 16, ready to receive the next pressing force.
[0046] Further, see Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 4 The first slider 221 is provided with a recessed hole 224, the second slider 222 is provided with a convex column 225, one end of the elastic member 30 is fixedly matched with the recessed hole 224 of one of the sliding blocks 22, and the other end is fixedly matched with the convex column 225 of the other sliding block 22.
[0047] In this embodiment, the recessed hole 224 is provided on the side of the first slider 221 facing the second slider 222. The boss 225 is provided on the side of the second slider 222 facing away from the first slider 221, so that after the two sliders 22 are engaged, the protrusion of the boss 225 is in the same direction as the concave direction of the recessed hole 224 of the other slider 22. One end of the elastic member 30 is received in the recessed hole 224, and the other end is sleeved on the boss 225 of the other slider 22. The two elastic members 30 act together between the two sliders 22 to enable the two sliders 22 to slide smoothly and evenly. Of course, in other embodiments, the boss 225 may be provided on the first slider 221, and the recessed hole 224 may be provided on the second slider 222.
[0048] Furthermore, the push button 40 is provided with two opposite first inclined surfaces 43 . When the push button 40 is pressed relative to the main body 10 , the two first inclined surfaces 43 push the two second sliding blocks 222 to slide respectively.
[0049] In this embodiment, both first inclined surfaces 43 are located at the ends of the extrusion block 42 away from the pressing plate 41. The two first inclined surfaces 43 are inclined in opposite directions, resulting in the ends of the extrusion block 42 being roughly triangular in shape. When the pressing plate 41 is pressed, the extrusion block 42 slides between the two second sliders 222, i.e., the ends of the extrusion block 42 are inserted between the two second sliders 222. Guided by the first inclined surfaces 43, the second sliders 222 receive the lateral force component from the extrusion block 42, thereby sliding relative to the chute 13. Conversely, when the pressing force on the pressing plate 41 is released, the extrusion block 42 receives the vertical force component from the second slider 222 perpendicular to the bottom surface of the chute 13, guided by the first inclined surfaces 43, thereby retracting the push button 40. Of course, in other embodiments, the two first inclined surfaces 43 can also be replaced with arc-shaped chamfered surfaces to facilitate the extrusion block 42 to insert between the two second sliders 222 and push the two second sliders 222 apart.
[0050] It can be understood that the distance between the two opposite sides of the extrusion block 42 in the length direction of the slide groove 13 is at least twice the sliding distance of the telescopic column 21 retracted into the sliding hole 121, so that the telescopic column 21 can be effectively retracted into the sliding hole 121, thereby facilitating the separation of the two connecting members 100.
[0051] Furthermore, the second sliding block 222 is provided with a second inclined surface 226 that is slidably engaged with the first inclined surface 43 .
[0052] In this embodiment, the second inclined surface 226 is parallel to the first inclined surface 43, and the second inclined surface 226 is arranged on the side of the second slider 222 facing the first slider 221. The second inclined surface 226 is located at the corner of the second slider 222 away from the bottom surface of the slide groove 13. When the two second sliders 222 are close to each other, the two second inclined surfaces 226 are spliced together to form a triangular depression. The end of the extrusion block 42 can cooperate with the depression, so that after the pressing plate 41 receives the pressing force, the extrusion block 42 moves toward the bottom surface of the depression and causes the depression to be opened, so that the extrusion block 42 is finally inserted between the two second sliders 222. Of course, in other embodiments, the second inclined surface 226 can also be replaced with a circular chamfered surface to facilitate sliding cooperation with the extrusion block 42.
[0053] Further, see Figure 1 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6The connecting member 100 also includes a cover plate 50 for covering the slide groove 13, the cover plate 50 is provided with a pressing hole 51, and a limiting groove 52 is provided on the edge of the inner opening end of the pressing hole 51, the pressing key 40 is slidably matched with the pressing hole 51, and the edge of the pressing key 40 is provided with a flange 43, and the flange 43 is matched with the limiting groove 52.
[0054] In this embodiment, the cover plate 50 is fixed to the first surface 16. The first surface 16 is provided with a recessed groove 161, and the cover plate 50 cooperates with the recessed groove 161 so that the surface of the cover plate 50 is flush with the first surface 16. The inner peripheral side wall of the pressing hole 51 slides with the outer peripheral side wall of the pressing plate 41, so that the pressing key 40 can be moved and pressed relative to the cover plate 50. The flange 43 extends from the side of the pressing plate 41 connected to the extrusion block 42, and is bent and extended laterally so that the flange 43 can hook the bottom surface of the limiting groove 52. The limiting groove 52 is opened on the side of the cover plate 50 facing the bottom surface of the slide groove 13. The limiting groove 52 is connected to the pressing hole 51. The flanges 43 are opposite in the pressing length direction. When the pressing plate 41 receives a pressing force, the flange 43 separates from the limiting groove 52 and moves into the slide groove 13. The extrusion block 42 pushes the two second sliders 222 apart, and the telescopic column 21 retracts into the slide hole 121. When the pressing force of the pressing plate 41 is released, the pressing plate 41 moves away from the bottom surface of the slide groove 13, and the flange 43 slides until it engages with the limiting groove 52, so that the pressing plate 41 remains fixed relative to the cover plate 50, thereby preventing the pressing key 40 from separating from the main body 10 and facilitating the next pressing of the pressing key 40.
[0055] Optional, such as Figure 6 As shown, both ends of the cover plate 50 in the length direction are fixed to the main body 10 via screws 503 .
[0056] Optional, such as Figure 7 As shown, both ends of the cover plate 50 in the length direction are fixed to the main body 10 via pins 502 .
[0057] Optional, such as Figure 8 As shown, the cover plate 50 is adhered to the main body 10 via a double-sided adhesive layer 501 .
[0058] For further information, please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 When the push button 40 returns to the ready-to-press state, the surface of the push button 40 away from the bottom surface of the slide groove 13 is flush with the surface of the cover plate 50 away from the bottom surface of the slide groove 13.
[0059] In this embodiment, after the pressing force on the press button 40 is released, the press plate 41 slides away from the bottom surface of the slide groove 13, and the press plate 41 slides to a position blocking the press hole 51. The side of the press plate 41 facing away from the extrusion block 42 is flush with the surface of the cover plate 50 away from the bottom surface of the slide groove 13, so that one side of the connector 100 is flatly set, increasing the flatness of the appearance structure of the connector 100, making it easier to wear the connector 100 and the wearable device to which the connector 100 is applied.
[0060] See also Figure 9 The embodiment of the present application further provides a connection assembly 200, which includes a plurality of the connection members 100, and the plurality of the connection members 100 are connected end to end in sequence, the grooves 11 and the protrusions 12 of two adjacent connection members 100 cooperate with each other, and the telescopic column 21 is snapped into the slot 111.
[0061] It is understood that the first side portion 14 and the second side portion 15 can respectively constitute the end-to-end structure of the connector 100, with multiple connectors 100 connected end-to-end in sequence, and the first side portions 14 and second side portions 15 of multiple connectors 100 connected in sequence. Taking the connection of two adjacent connectors 100 as an example for reference, the groove 11 of one connector 100 cooperates with the protrusion 12 of the other connector 100, and the telescopic column 21 of the other connector 100, after extending out of the sliding hole 121, cooperates with the locking groove 111 of one connector 100, thereby restricting the protrusion 12 from disengaging from the opening direction of the groove 11, thereby connecting the two connectors 100 to each other. The two connectors 100 can also rotate under the cooperation of the telescopic column 21 and the locking groove 111, facilitating the movement of the two connectors 100. After the plurality of connecting members 100 are connected in sequence, the connecting members 100 can form a chain structure, and the chain structure can be bent.
[0062] In this embodiment, when multiple connectors 100 are connected in sequence, they can form an annular chain structure, allowing them to be used in a watch, forming a circular watch bracelet. A dial is fixed to one of the connectors 100, and the connector assembly 200 and the dial together form a watch. When multiple connectors 100 are connected in sequence to form a strip-shaped chain structure, the connector assembly 200 forms a long watch bracelet. By fixing the ends of the connector assembly 200 to the dial, two connector assemblies 200 and a dial together can form a watch.
[0063] By utilizing the detachable connection between the connecting pieces 100 and the connecting pieces 100 , the length of the connecting assembly 200 can be quickly adjusted, thereby facilitating adjustment of the wearing comfort of the connecting assembly 200 .
[0064] See also Figure 10 In an embodiment of the present application, an electronic device 300 is further provided, and the electronic device 300 includes the connection component 200. The electronic device 300 also includes a device body 310, and the device body 310 is connected to the connection component 200. This application takes the electronic device 300 as an example of a smart watch.
[0065] In this embodiment, the device body 310 is a watch body 10. The device body 310 has a dial for displaying time or obtaining information. The connecting assembly 200 is a watch bracelet, and the connecting member 100 is a watch link. The connecting members 100 are detachable to facilitate adjustment of the bracelet length.
[0066] In one embodiment, the device body 310 has a first connecting end 311 and a second connecting end 312 opposite to the first connecting end 311, the first connecting end 311 is provided with a connecting protrusion 313, and the second connecting end 312 is provided with a connecting groove 314, the connecting protrusion 313 is detachably matched with the groove 11 of the connecting member 100 at the end, and the connecting groove 314 is detachably matched with the protrusion 12 of the connecting member 100 at the other end.
