[0037] Various exemplary embodiments of the present application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that unless otherwise specifically stated, the relative arrangements of components and steps, numerical expressions and numerical values ​​set forth in these embodiments do not limit the scope of the present application.

[0038] The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is merely illustrative in nature and is in no way intended to limit the present disclosure, its application, or uses.

[0039] Technologies, methods, and equipment known to ordinary technicians in the relevant art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, the technologies, methods, and equipment should be considered part of the specification.

[0040] In all examples shown and discussed herein, any specific values ​​should be interpreted as merely exemplary and not limiting. Therefore, other examples of the exemplary embodiments may have different values.

[0041] It should be noted that like reference numerals and letters refer to like items in the following figures, and therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it need not be further discussed in subsequent figures.

[0042] Reference Figures 1-10 As shown, according to one embodiment of the present application, a watch is provided, comprising a watch strap 1, a watch body 2, a locking member 3, and a control member 4. The watch strap 1 is provided with a first connecting hole 100; the watch body 2 is provided with a second connecting hole 200; the watch strap 1 and the watch body 2 have a connected state and a disconnected state. When the watch strap 1 and the watch body 2 are in the connected state, the first connecting hole 100 is in communication with the second connecting hole 200;

[0043] The locking member 3 has a first position and a second position, Figure 2As shown, when the locking member 3 is in the first position, the locking member 3 is inserted into the first connecting hole 100 and the second connecting hole 200 so that the watch strap 1 and the watch body 2 are in a connected state; Figure 3 As shown, when the locking member 3 is in the second position, the locking member 3 is disengaged from the first connecting hole 100 so that the strap 1 and the watch body 2 can be switched from a connected state to a separated state; the control member 4 is connected to the locking member 3, and the control member 4 is configured to control the locking member 3 to switch between the first position and the second position.

[0044] In the watch provided in the embodiment of the present application, when the watch is worn, the watchband 1 and the watch body 2 are in a connected state, that is, the watchband 1 and the watch body 2 are connected to each other. When the watchband 1 needs to be replaced, the watchband 1 needs to be detached from the watch body 2, that is, the watchband 1 and the watch body 2 are switched from the connected state to the detached state, and then the watchband 1 can be removed from the watch body 2 to replace it with a new one. The locking member 3 is used to connect the watchband 1 and the watch body 2. When the locking member 3 is simultaneously inserted into the first connecting hole 100 defined in the watchband 1 and the second connecting hole 200 defined in the watch body 2, the locking member 3 connects the watchband 1 and the watch body 2 together, or in other words, the locking member 3 locks the watchband 1 to the watch body 2, preventing the watchband 1 from loosening from the watch body 2; at this time, the locking member 3 is in the first position.

[0045] In the watch provided in the embodiment of the present application, when the strap 1 needs to be replaced, the locking member 3 is controlled to move by the control member 4, and the locking member 3 moves from the first position to the second position. In the second position, the locking member 3 is disengaged from the first connecting hole 100 of the strap 1, and the locking member 3 is no longer connected to the strap 1, that is, the locking member 3 no longer locks the strap 1, so that the strap 1 can be removed from the watch body 2 for replacement.

[0046] To sum up, in the watch provided in the embodiment of the present application, the strap 1 can be easily replaced by controlling the movement of the locking member 3 through the control member 4, thereby shortening the replacement time of the strap 1 and improving the replacement efficiency of the strap 1.

[0047] Reference Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 6a 、 Figure 6b As shown, in one embodiment, the watch body 2 is provided with a first mating groove 201 and a second mating groove 202, and the distance between the bottom of the first mating groove 201 and the first connecting hole 100 is smaller than the distance between the bottom of the second mating groove 202 and the first connecting hole 100;

[0048] When the locking member 3 abuts against the bottom of the first matching groove 201, the locking member 3 is located in the first position; when the locking member 3 abuts against the bottom of the second matching groove 202, the locking member 3 is located in the second position.

[0049] In this specific example, the locking member 3 is supported by the first matching groove 201 and the second matching groove 202 provided on the watch body 2. Since the bottom of the first matching groove 201 is closer to the first connecting hole 100, Figure 2 、 Figure 3 In the direction shown, when the locking member 3 abuts against the bottom of the first matching groove 201, the locking member 3 is positioned higher and is connected to the first connecting hole 100. The bottom of the second matching groove 202 is farther from the first connecting hole 100. Figure 2 、 Figure 3 In the direction shown, when the locking member 3 contacts the bottom of the second matching groove 202, the position of the locking member 3 is lowered, and the locking member 3 is withdrawn from the first connecting hole 100. Figure 2 、 Figure 3 In the direction shown, the first position is higher than the second position.

[0050] Reference Figure 6a 、 Figure 6b As shown, in one embodiment, the first matching grooves 201 and the second matching grooves 202 are alternately arranged along the circumferential direction.

[0051] In a specific example, the movement of the locking member 3 under the drive of the control member 4 includes both translation and rotation. Specifically, when the locking member 3 rotates by a first predetermined angle, it abuts the bottoms of the circumferentially arranged first mating grooves 201; when the locking member 3 rotates by a second predetermined angle, it abuts the bottoms of the circumferentially arranged second mating grooves 202. Alternatively, the first mating grooves 201 and the second mating grooves 202 are alternately arranged evenly along the circumference. Alternatively, the locking member 3 can rotate by an angle of 15° each time, for example. Thus, the first predetermined angle can be, for example, 15°, 45°, or 75°; and the second predetermined angle can be, for example, 30°, 60°, or 90°. In other words, after one rotation, the locking member 3 abuts the bottom of the first mating groove 201 at the 15° position; after two rotations, the locking member 3 abuts the bottom of the second mating groove 202 at the 30° position; and so on.

[0052] A specific example of achieving the control member 4 driving the locking member 3 to translate and rotate is:

[0053] Reference Figure 7 、 Figure 8As shown, in one embodiment, the control member 4 includes a push rod 41, the push rod 41 has a rod body 410 and a serrated portion 411 arranged at the end of the rod body 410; the locking member 3 includes a locking member body 31 and a boss 32 located on the side of the locking member body 31, the boss 32 has an inclined portion 320 located at the end, and when the push rod 41 is connected to the locking member 3, the serrated portion 411 engages with the boss 32; when the push rod 41 pushes the locking member 3, the inclined portion 320 slides along the serrated portion 411, and the locking member 3 rotates a predetermined angle so that the position of the boss 32 corresponds to the first mating groove 201 or the second mating groove 202.

[0054] It is understood that the push rod 41 has an exposed structure located outside the watch body 2, and the exposed structure is used for the user to press the push rod 41. When the push rod 41 is pressed, the push rod 41 pushes the locking member 3, and the inclined portion 320 at the front end of the boss 32 provided on the locking member 3 slides along the serrated portion 411 of the push rod 41, so that the push rod 41 drives the locking member 3 to perform translational motion while the locking member 3 can also rotate, thereby making the position of the boss 32 correspond to the position of the first matching groove 201 or the second matching groove 202. Further, according to Figure 2 、 Figure 3 In the direction shown, after the push rod 41 pushes the locking member 3 upward to translate and rotate, the push rod 41 falls back downward, and the locking member 3 also falls back downward, so that the boss 32 can abut against the first matching groove 201 or the second matching groove 202.

[0055] Reference Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the control member 4 further includes a spring 42 , and the spring 42 is sleeved on the outside of the locking member body 31 .

[0056] In this specific example, the arrangement of the spring 42 can provide elastic support for the locking member 3, so that the locking member 3 can be fixed and supported regardless of whether it is in the first position or the second position.

[0057] Reference Figure 4 、 Figure 5 As shown, in one embodiment, the watch body 2 is provided with a first guide groove 203, the first matching groove 201 and the second matching groove 202 are provided at the edge of the first guide groove 203; the rod body 410 is slidably connected with the first guide groove 203.

[0058] In this specific example, when the push rod 41 pushes the locking member 3, the rod body 410 of the push rod 41 slides within the first guide groove 203. The first guide groove 203 guides the translational movement of the push rod 41. The first guide groove 203 also allows the push rod 41 to fall back after pushing the locking member 3. After the locking member 3 falls back along with the push rod 41, the locking member 3 abuts against the first mating groove 201 or the second mating groove 202 provided on the edge of the first guide groove 203.

[0059] First guide groove 203 communicates with the outside, meaning the exposed structure of push rod 41 is exposed to the outside of watch body 2 via first guide groove 203. Rod body 410 has a first stepped surface 4100, and first guide groove 203 has a second stepped surface 2030. The first stepped surface 4100 abuts against the second stepped surface 2030 to prevent push rod 41 from falling out of first guide groove 203 and detaching from watch body 2.

[0060] Reference Figure 4 、 Figure 5 As shown, in one embodiment, the side wall of the locking member body 31 is provided with a first step 310, a second guide groove 400 is opened in the rod body 410, and a second step 401 is formed in the second guide groove 400; a portion of the locking member body 31 is slidingly connected to the second guide groove 400, and when the second step 401 abuts against the first step 310, the push rod 41 pushes the locking member 3.

[0061] In this specific example, when the push rod 41 pushes the locking member 3, a portion of the locking member body 31 is slidably connected with the second guide groove 400 to play a guiding role; and when the second step 401 abuts against the first step 310, the push rod 41 can apply a thrust to the locking member 3 to push the locking member 3.

[0062] In a specific example, the watch body 2 includes a first watch body 21 and a second watch body 22; the first guide groove 203, the first matching groove 201 and the second matching groove 202 are all provided on the first watch body 21; the second watch body 22 is responsible for matching and connecting with the watch band 1, and the second connecting hole 200 is provided on the second watch body 22. The first watch body 21 and the second watch body 22 can be connected by gluing, for example. Figure 6a 、 Figure 6b As shown, a mounting platform 20 is provided on the first body 21 , and the first matching groove 201 and the second matching groove 202 are both provided on the mounting platform 20 .

[0063] Reference Figure 9 As shown, in one embodiment, the watch strap 1 includes a strap body 11 and a tongue 12 fixedly connected to the strap body 11 , and the first connecting hole 100 is provided on the tongue 12 .

[0064] In this specific example, the band body 11 is worn by the user, and the tongue 12 is responsible for connecting to the watch body 2, specifically, the second watch body 22. The band body 11 and the tongue 12 are fixedly connected together. When the watch band 1 is replaced, the band body 11 and the tongue 12 are replaced together.

[0065] Reference Figure 10 As shown, in one embodiment, the tongue 12 includes a tongue body 120 and a convex plate 121 . The convex plate 121 is protruding from a side of the tongue body 120 , and the convex plate 121 is configured to be connected to the belt body 11 .

[0066] In this specific example, the protruding plate 121 provided on the side of the tongue 120 can make the connection between the tongue 12 and the belt body 11 more firmly.

[0067] Reference Figure 10 As shown, in one embodiment, the belt body 11 is made of rubber; a rubber grabbing hole 101 is opened on the convex plate 121, and a part of the belt body 11 is connected to the rubber grabbing hole 101.

[0068] In this specific example, the rubber strap body 11 directly wraps around the metal tab 12. Not only are the strap body 11 and tab 12 connected via the protruding plate 121, but a portion of the rubber also enters the rubber gripping hole 101, further ensuring a secure connection between the tab 12 and the strap body 11. This eliminates the need for additional fasteners between the tab 12 and the strap body 11, thus reducing costs. Optionally, the side of the tongue 120 that connects to the protruding plate 121 may also have a rubber gripping hole 101.

[0069] Although some specific embodiments of the present application have been described in detail by way of examples, it should be understood by those skilled in the art that the above examples are for illustration only and are not intended to limit the scope of the present application. It should be understood by those skilled in the art that the above embodiments may be modified without departing from the scope and spirit of the present application. The scope of the present application is defined by the appended claims.
