Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of wearable device technology, and more particularly to a press-and-rotate buckle structure and a smartwatch. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of technology, various smart wearable devices are permeating all aspects of people's lives, bringing tremendous changes to their daily experiences. Wearable devices are not merely hardware devices; they achieve their powerful functions through software support, data interaction, and cloud interaction. Their applications are very broad, including healthcare, fitness, and communication. For example, watches are no longer limited to simply telling time. By embedding intelligent hardware and running a smartphone operating system connected to the network, they can perform various functions such as making calls, sending text messages, emails, viewing photos, and listening to music and videos. Smartwatches are an extension and expansion of smartphone functions, bringing great convenience to people's daily lives.

[0003] When wearing a smartwatch, the case should fit snugly against the wrist for a secure fit and improved user experience. However, traditional watch bands generally fall into two categories: buckle bands and chain bands. Buckle bands require disassembly and reassembly for length adjustments, a cumbersome process that results in a poor user experience. Chain bands, on the other hand, have fixed-length individual links, requiring users to purchase additional parts or remove excess links for adjustments, a complex process that may not yield the desired length, impacting the performance of the smartwatch. Furthermore, both methods pose risks of pinching skin during adjustment, and are difficult for children, creating safety hazards. The adjustment process is also complex, difficult to operate, and allows for a wide range of adjustable lengths.

[0004] Therefore, how to improve the technical defects existing in the prior art has always been a problem that ordinary people skilled in the art need to solve. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a press-and-rotate buckle structure for connecting smartwatches. Users only need to press and simultaneously rotate the press knob to adjust the length of the watch band according to their own comfort during wear. Releasing the press knob will automatically lock the length of the watch band, which can greatly simplify the user's adjustment steps. It is simple to operate and highly secure.

[0006] The technical solution provided by this invention is as follows:

[0007] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a press-and-rotate watch clasp structure, comprising:

[0008] The housing connected to the main unit and the adjustment mechanism for adjusting the strap length;

[0009] The housing is provided with a slide rail;

[0010] The adjustment components include a push knob, a gear, a locking plate, and a watch strap connector;

[0011] The watch strap connector is provided with a travel station, and the edge of the travel station is provided with a rack;

[0012] The push-button knob is used to fix the gear in the stroke position so that the gear and rack mesh;

[0013] The locking plate is provided with locking teeth, and the bottom end of the watch strap connector is provided with mating teeth.

[0014] When the push-button knob is in its natural state, the locking teeth engage with the mating teeth to restrict the rotation of the gears, thereby locking the watch strap.

[0015] When the button is pressed, the gear abuts against the locking plate and drives the locking plate to move downward, causing the locking teeth to disengage from the mating teeth. During the rotation of the button, the gear drives the rack to move, thereby adjusting the length of the watch strap.

[0016] In some embodiments, the mating teeth include a first mating tooth pattern and a second mating tooth pattern;

[0017] The first and second mating teeth are respectively located on opposite sides of the stroke station, and the inclination directions of the first and second mating teeth are opposite; and

[0018] The locking teeth include a first locking teeth and a second locking teeth;

[0019] The first locking tooth is used to mate with the first mating tooth, and the second locking tooth is used to mate with the second mating tooth.

[0020] In some embodiments, the locking plate includes a plate body and a reset member;

[0021] The reset component is used to fix the tray body to the bottom of the slide; and

[0022] The first locking teeth and the second locking teeth are arranged parallel to each other on the tray body;

[0023] In its natural state, the reset member is used to lift the tray body upward, so that the first locking tooth engages with the first mating tooth, and the second locking tooth engages with the second mating tooth.

[0024] In the pressed state, the gear drives the tray body to move downward, causing the first locking tooth to disengage from the first mating tooth and the second locking tooth to disengage from the second mating tooth. During the rotation of the pressing knob, the gear drives the rack to move, thereby adjusting the length of the watch strap.

[0025] In some embodiments, a slide is provided on each of the opposite sides of the tray body; and

[0026] Each of the slide blocks has a sliding hole at each of its opposite ends;

[0027] The number of reset components is four, and each reset component includes a reset spring and a guide post. The guide post passes through the sliding hole and connects to the bottom of the slide rail to fix the reset spring between the bottom of the slide rail and the tray body, so that the reset spring provides the tray body with an upward rebound force.

[0028] In some embodiments, the push knob includes a knob body and an elastic element;

[0029] The upper end of the housing is provided with a rotation position for accommodating the knob body;

[0030] The elastic element is installed at the rotating position to engage with the knob body;

[0031] The center of the rotating station is provided with a hole that leads to the slide rail; and

[0032] The gear includes a gear body and a gear shaft;

[0033] The gear shaft extends through the hole to the rotating position to engage with the knob body, thereby fixing the gear body inside the stroke position and allowing the gear body to mesh with the rack.

[0034] In some embodiments, a bottom cover is detachably mounted on the bottom of the housing; and

[0035] The locking plate is installed on the bottom cover.

[0036] In some embodiments, the watch strap connector includes a slider slidably disposed on the slide and a watch strap connecting piece disposed at the end of the slider;

[0037] The travel station is a sliding hole formed in the slider; and

[0038] The rack is located on the side edge of the sliding hole;

[0039] The gear is located inside the sliding hole and meshes with the rack. The push-button knob is pressed and rotated synchronously, causing the gear to drive the rack to move, thereby changing the position of the strap connecting piece relative to the housing to adjust the length of the strap.

[0040] In some embodiments, an elastic component is provided between the strap connector and the housing;

[0041] and / or

[0042] The housing has an isosceles trapezoidal block structure, which is used to connect the outline of the main unit and the watch strap.

[0043] In some embodiments, the housing has a host connector attached to the host on the side away from the strap connector.

[0044] In a second aspect, the present invention also provides a smartwatch, comprising:

[0045] The main unit, the watch strap, and the buckle structure connected to the main unit and the watch strap to adjust the telescopic length of the watch strap relative to the main unit;

[0046] The buckle structure is the press-and-rotate buckle structure described above.

[0047] The technical advantages of this invention are as follows:

[0048] In this patent, the user only needs to press and simultaneously rotate the pressing knob to cause the gear to drive the rack to move back and forth within the stroke range of the travel position, providing power for the watch strap connector to move forward or backward, thereby adjusting the watch strap length. When the watch strap is adjusted to the appropriate length, the user only needs to release the pressure applied to the pressing knob, and the pressing knob will automatically spring back. At this time, the gear releases the limit on the locking plate, and the locking plate automatically springs upward, causing the locking teeth to engage with the mating teeth to limit the rotation of the gear. At this time, the gear and rack are still in a meshed state. Therefore, the meshing of the locking teeth and the mating teeth can lock the watch strap length, which greatly simplifies the user's watch strap adjustment steps and provides high stability. When the user needs to further adjust the watch strap length, they only need to apply pressure to the pressing knob again to disengage the locking teeth from the mating teeth. During the rotation of the pressing knob, the gear drives the rack to move, thereby adjusting the watch strap length. This patented technical solution, especially for children, greatly improves the portability and safety of operation, preventing muscle injuries. Furthermore, by limiting the travel range of the pressing knob through the travel station, it effectively ensures that the strap connector does not detach from the housing, significantly improving the stability and accuracy of user operation.

Detailed Implementation

[0060] To more clearly illustrate the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention or the prior art, the specific implementation methods of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the drawings described below are merely some embodiments of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, other drawings and other implementation methods can be obtained based on these drawings without any creative effort.

[0061] To keep the drawings concise, each figure only schematically shows the parts relevant to the invention, and these do not represent the actual structure of the product. Furthermore, to facilitate understanding, in some figures, only one of components with the same structure or function is schematically depicted, or only one is labeled. In this document, "one" not only means "only one," but can also mean "more than one."

[0062] It should also be further understood that the term “and / or” as used in this application specification and the appended claims means any combination of one or more of the associated listed items and all possible combinations, and includes such combinations.

[0063] In this document, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linking" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; they can refer to mechanical connections or electrical connections; they can refer to direct connections or indirect connections through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal communication between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention based on the specific circumstances.

[0064] Furthermore, in the description of this application, the terms "first," "second," etc., are used only to distinguish descriptions and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0065] According to a specific embodiment provided by the present invention, such as Figures 1 to 8As shown, the present invention provides a push-to-rotate watch clasp structure 100 in a first aspect, specifically including a housing 1 connected to a host and an adjustment member 2 for adjusting the length of a watch strap 200. The housing 1 is provided with a slide rail 11, and the adjustment member 2 includes a push-to-rotate knob, a gear 23, a locking plate 24, and a watch strap connector 25. The watch strap connector 25 is provided with a travel station 2511, and a rack 2512 is provided on the edge of the travel station 2511. The push-to-rotate knob is used to fix the gear 23 in the travel station 2511, so that the gear 23 and the rack 2512 mesh. The locking plate 24 is provided with locking teeth 2411, and the bottom end of the watch strap connector 25 is provided with mating teeth 2513. In the natural state, the push-to-rotate knob engages the locking teeth 2411 with the mating teeth 2513 to restrict the rotation of the gear 23, thereby locking the watch strap 200. When the knob is pressed, the gear 23 abuts against the locking plate 24 and drives the locking plate 24 to move downward, causing the locking teeth 2411 to disengage from the mating teeth 2513. During the rotation of the knob, the gear 23 drives the rack 2512 to move, thereby adjusting the length of the watch strap 200.

[0066] In this embodiment, the user only needs to press and simultaneously rotate the pressing knob to cause the gear 23 to drive the rack 2512 to move back and forth within the stroke range of the stroke position 2511, providing power for the watch strap connector 25 to move forward or backward, thereby adjusting the length of the watch strap 200. When the watch strap 200 is adjusted to the appropriate length, the user only needs to remove the pressing force applied to the pressing knob, and the pressing knob will automatically spring back. At this time, the gear 23 releases the limit on the locking plate 24, and the locking plate 24 automatically springs upward, so that the locking teeth 2411 engages with the mating teeth 2513 to limit the rotation of the gear 23. At this time, the gear 23 and the rack 2512 are still in a meshed state. Therefore, the meshing of the locking teeth 2411 and the mating teeth 2513 can lock the length of the watch strap 200, which can greatly simplify the user's adjustment steps for the watch strap 200 and has high stability. When the user needs to further adjust the length of the watch strap 200, they only need to apply pressure to the pressing knob again, causing the locking teeth 2411 to disengage from the mating teeth 2513. During rotation, the pressing knob causes the gear 23 to drive the rack 2512, thus adjusting the length of the watch strap 200. This patented technical solution, especially for children, greatly improves the portability and safety of operation, preventing muscle injuries. Furthermore, by limiting the travel range of the pressing knob through the travel station 2511, it effectively ensures that the watch strap connector 25 will not detach from the housing 1, significantly improving the stability and accuracy of user operation.

[0067] Of course, the present invention also provides a smartwatch in a second aspect, see [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 1The smartwatch may specifically include a main unit, a watch strap 200, and a press-and-rotate buckle structure 100 provided in the first aspect of the invention. The buckle structure 100 is connected to the main unit and the watch strap 200 to adjust the telescopic length of the watch strap 200 relative to the main unit, allowing the user to adjust the smartwatch to the most comfortable wearing size without removing the watch strap 200. This greatly improves the problem of children having difficulty wearing the watch and the potential safety hazards, ensuring that children will not pinch their skin tissue during the adjustment of the watch strap 200, thus enhancing safety.

[0068] Furthermore, traditional smartwatches typically use a buckle-style or separate chain-like strap, usually consisting of two straps connected to lugs at opposite ends of the watch face. The smartwatch is worn by placing a buckle between the two straps. However, the buckle's location between the two straps results in a less aesthetically pleasing overall connection, affecting the visual experience. Moreover, the buckle's structure is not very stable, making it prone to damage, and its operation is cumbersome, leading to a poor user experience. Most importantly, adjusting the strap length can easily pinch skin tissue, especially for children, making the wearing process difficult and posing a safety hazard. Therefore, in this embodiment, preferably, a single strap 200 is used, with one end connected to a lug on one end of the main unit and the other end connected to a lug on the other end of the main unit via a buckle structure 100. The user only needs to operate the buckle structure 100 to extend the strap 200 into a loop, and then place the user's hand on the strap 200 to wear the smartwatch on their wrist. By further manipulating the buckle structure 100, specifically by simultaneously pressing and rotating the pressing knob, the length of the watch strap 200 can be precisely adjusted according to one's own comfort to tighten the watch strap 200 and complete the wearing process.

[0069] In this embodiment, by placing the buckle structure 100 adjacent to the host, allowing it to connect and cooperate with the host, the watch strap 200 can be constructed as a single piece. This eliminates the need to intentionally create two separate straps, effectively avoiding the need to disassemble and reassemble a traditional buckle to complete the wearing process. Furthermore, this embodiment results in a more aesthetically pleasing, easier-to-operate, and more secure watch strap 200, significantly improving the user experience. Of course, in this embodiment, the watch strap 200 can also be constructed as separate pieces, where a traditional buckle is used between the two straps 200, and the buckle structure 100 provided in this embodiment is used between one strap 200 and the host. This greatly enriches the application scenarios of smartwatches and meets the needs of more users. No specific limitations are made here, and any variation in construction is within the scope of protection of this patent.

[0070] In order to ensure that the clasp structure 100 can be fully integrated with the outline of the main body and the strap 200, see [reference needed]. Figure 1 and Figure 2Since the width of the main unit is greater than the width of the watch strap 200, it is preferable to set the housing 1 of the buckle structure 100 into an isosceles trapezoidal block structure to connect the outline of the main unit and the watch strap 200, thereby improving the overall aesthetics. Of course, since the sizes of different smartwatch models vary, the specific structure of the housing 1 can be flexibly set according to the actual product and is not limited to an isosceles trapezoidal block structure.

[0071] Furthermore, in this embodiment, see also... Figure 1 and Figure 2 The housing 1 has a main unit connecting piece 15 on the side away from the strap connector 25, which is connected to the main unit. The main unit connecting piece 15 is used to mate with the lugs of the main unit, and the strap connector 25 is used to mate with the end of the strap 200, thus completing the assembly between the buckle structure 100, the main unit, and the strap 200. The specific construction of the strap connector 25 and the main unit connecting piece 15 is not specifically limited here, and can be flexibly designed according to the contours of the strap 200 and the main unit, all of which are within the protection scope of this patent, and will not be described in detail here.

[0072] It is worth mentioning that, in this embodiment, the main unit connecting piece 15 can preferably be integrally formed with the housing 1, which can greatly improve the structural strength of the connection between the main unit and the buckle structure 100. For example, the housing 1 and the main unit connecting piece 15 can be formed by plastic injection molding or molten metal cooling molding, both of which are within the protection scope of this patent and are not specifically limited here.

[0073] In this embodiment, see Figure 3 and Figure 4 By designing the push-button knob to be pressed before rotating, the user can be effectively prevented from accidentally pressing the knob or from being easily rotated by external force during daily wear of the smartwatch, thus avoiding slight changes in the length of the strap 200 and affecting the user's wearing experience. With this structure, the push-button knob is always in the pop-up state during daily work and life. At this time, the gear 23 releases the limiting position on the locking plate 24, causing the locking plate 24 to pop upwards, making the locking teeth 2411 engage with the mating teeth 2513. Thus, the push-button knob cannot rotate, and the gear 23 and rack 2512 remain engaged, thereby locking the length of the strap 200. Even after prolonged wear of the smartwatch, a very comfortable wearing experience is always ensured.

[0074] It is worth mentioning that, in this embodiment, the travel range of the watch strap 200's forward and backward movement can be flexibly set according to the actual application scenario. The extension and retraction range of the watch strap 200 can be changed by altering the length of the rack 2512 and the travel range of the travel station 2511, etc., without making specific limitations here.

[0075] In this embodiment, see Figures 2 to 4 The push-button knob is preferably located on the top of the housing 1. This position allows the push-button knob to face outwards when the user is wearing the smartwatch, making it easy for the user to operate it quickly.

[0076] Specifically, the pressing knob may include a knob body 21 and an elastic element 22. Preferably, a rotation station 12 for accommodating the knob body 21 is provided at the middle position of the upper end of the housing 1. This embodiment does not impose any limitations on the specific structure of the rotation station 12, only requiring that the knob body 21 can rotate circumferentially around it and move longitudinally along it. Any structure is within the protection scope of this patent. For example, see... Figure 3 and Figure 4 The rotating station 12 can protrude from the annular platform structure on the upper end face of the housing 1. The lower part of the knob body 21 is provided with an annular groove structure for rotating and engaging with the annular platform structure. The annular platform structure can guide and limit the knob body 21. The user only needs to apply a clockwise or counterclockwise force to the knob body 21, and the knob body 21 can rotate around the rotating station 12 under the guidance of the annular platform structure.

[0077] Furthermore, the elastic element 22 can be a compression spring, but is not limited to this. This compression spring is installed inside the rotating station 12 to engage with the knob body 21. To effectively ensure that the compression spring does not twist or deform along with the knob body 21 during rotation, or interfere with the normal rotation of the knob body 21, an annular ring can be provided at the bottom of the knob body 21 where it engages with the compression spring. This ensures that the annular ring does not rotate with the knob body 21 under the action of the compression spring during rotation, effectively preventing the compression spring from restricting the free rotation of the knob body 21, thereby greatly improving the user's operating feel when rotating the knob body 21.

[0078] When the user removes the pressure applied to the knob body 21, the pressing spring provides the knob body 21 with an upward rebound force, which drives the gear 23 to move upward. At this time, the locking plate 24 automatically rebounds, so that the locking teeth 2411 engages with the mating teeth 2513 to limit the rotation of the gear 23, thereby locking the watch strap 200.

[0079] In a preferred embodiment, the knob body 21 may be disc-shaped, with anti-slip textures on its exposed peripheral edge at the rotation station 12. The user only needs to pinch the peripheral edge of the knob body 21 to rotate it clockwise or counterclockwise due to the friction of the anti-slip textures. The anti-slip textures effectively prevent slippage during rotation, greatly improving the user's operating experience. Of course, this embodiment does not impose any limitations on the specific structure and design of the anti-slip textures; they can be flexibly set according to actual usage requirements, and no restrictions are imposed here.

[0080] Furthermore, in this embodiment, see Figure 3 and Figure 4 The rotating station 12 has a hole 13 at its center that leads to the slide rail 11. In a preferred embodiment, the gear 23 may include a gear body 231 and a gear shaft 232. The gear shaft 232 is mounted at the center of the gear body 231 and extends through the hole 13 to the rotating station 12 to engage with the knob body 21, thus fixing the gear body 231 inside the slide rail 11. Specifically, the gear body 231 is fixed inside the stroke station 2511, allowing it to mesh with the rack 2512. Preferably, a threaded hole 2321 is provided at the free end of the gear shaft 232, and a mounting hole 212 corresponding to the threaded hole 2321 is provided at the center of the knob body 21. A screw 233 is inserted through the mounting hole 212 from above the knob body 21 to engage with the threaded hole 2321, ultimately forming an assembly of the gear 23 and the knob body 21. Of course, the gear 23 and the knob body 21 can also be assembled into one piece in other ways. No specific restrictions are imposed here. Any assembly form is within the protection scope of this patent.

[0081] It is worth mentioning that, in this embodiment, see Figure 3 and Figure 4 Preferably, a decorative cover 211 is provided on the knob body 21 above the mounting hole 212. The decorative cover 211 serves two purposes: firstly, it covers the head of the screw 233 for an aesthetic effect; secondly, it effectively prevents external impurities and dirt from entering the mounting hole 212 and causing corrosion to the screw 233.

[0082] In this embodiment, see Figures 2 to 5The watch strap connector 25 may include a slider 251 slidably disposed on the slide rail 11 and a watch strap connecting piece 252 disposed at the end of the slider 251. The watch strap connecting piece 252 is slidably connected to the slide rail 11 via the slider 251. Preferably, the slider 251 and the watch strap connecting piece 252 may be integrally formed, but this is not a limitation. Furthermore, the contour of the slider 251 is adapted to the slide rail 11, and the slider 251 is used to slide and engage with the slide rail 11 during the movement of the watch strap connecting piece 252, to ensure that the watch strap connecting piece 252 can move smoothly and will not easily shift, and can greatly improve the structural strength during the adjustment process.

[0083] In this embodiment, the specific structure of the slider 251, the strap connecting piece 252 and the host connecting piece 15 is not limited in much. It can be flexibly set according to the outline of the strap 200 and the host. All of them are within the protection scope of this patent, and will not be described in detail here.

[0084] In this embodiment, see Figures 2 to 4 The strap connecting piece 252 and the main unit connecting piece 15 are arranged opposite each other. By pressing and rotating the knob body 21 simultaneously, the user can make the strap connecting piece 252 move towards or away from the main unit connecting piece 15, thereby adjusting the length of the strap 200.

[0085] Further, see Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 The stroke station 2511 can be specifically located at the middle position of the slider 251. Preferably, the stroke station 2511 can be a sliding hole opened at the middle position of the slider 251. This sliding hole penetrates the wall thickness of the slider 251, has a rectangular hole structure, and extends along the line connecting the main unit connecting piece 15 and the watch strap connecting piece 252. Further, the rack 2512 is located at the inner edge of the sliding hole and extends along the line connecting the main unit connecting piece 15 and the watch strap connecting piece 252. The rack 2512 can be integrally formed with the slider 251, which can greatly improve the structural stability of the rack 2512 during transmission and ensure that the watch strap connecting piece 252 will not detach from the sliding hole due to excessive force during movement. Of course, the rack 2512 can also be mounted on the edge of the sliding hole by means of, for example, screws. The split structure facilitates the replacement of the rack 2512, ensuring that the slider 251 and the strap connecting piece 252 can be reused, thereby greatly saving economic costs. In this case, the gear body 231 is always located inside the sliding hole to mesh with the rack 2512. The knob body 21 is pressed and rotated synchronously, causing the gear body 231 to drive the rack 2512 to move back and forth along the sliding hole, thereby changing the position of the strap connecting piece 252 relative to the housing 1 to adjust the length of the watch strap 200.

[0086] Of course, in this embodiment, see Figure 3 and Figure 4 The bottom of the housing 1 is also detachably provided with a bottom cover 14. By removing the bottom cover 14 from the housing 1, the staff can quickly disassemble, repair and clean the various parts inside the housing 1, thereby greatly reducing the difficulty of maintaining the buckle structure 100.

[0087] Further, see Figure 5 The locking plate 24 can be installed on the bottom cover 14. As a preferred embodiment, see [reference needed]. Figures 6 to 8 The locking plate 24 specifically includes a plate body 241 and a reset member 242. The reset member 242 is mounted on the bottom cover 14 to fix the plate body 241 to the bottom of the slide rail 11. The locking teeth 2411 are provided on the upper end face of the plate body 241. The reset member 242 is used to push the plate body 241 upward, so that the locking teeth 2411 and the mating teeth 2513 engage to lock the watch strap 200. When the knob body 21 is pressed, the gear 23 drives the plate body 241 downward, so that the locking teeth 2411 disengages from the mating teeth 2513 to adjust the length of the watch strap 200.

[0088] Preferably, the mating teeth 2513 may specifically include a first mating tooth 25131 and a second mating tooth 25132, which are respectively disposed on opposite sides of the stroke station 2511, and the tooth inclination directions of the first mating teeth 25131 and the second mating teeth 25132 are opposite. Correspondingly, the locking teeth 2411 may specifically include a first locking teeth 24111 and a second locking teeth 24112, which are parallel to each other on the pallet body 241, and the tooth inclination directions of the first locking teeth 24111 and the second locking teeth 24112 are opposite. The first locking teeth 24111 is used to mate with the first mating teeth 25131, and the second locking teeth 24112 is used to mate with the second mating teeth 25132.

[0089] In its natural state, the reset member 242 pushes the support plate 241 upward, causing the first locking tooth 24111 to engage with the first mating tooth 25131, and the second locking tooth 24112 to engage with the second mating tooth 25132. In the pressed state, the gear 23 drives the support plate 241 downward, causing the first locking tooth 24111 to disengage from the first mating tooth 25131, and the second locking tooth 24112 to disengage from the second mating tooth 25132. During rotation, the gear 23 drives the rack 2512 to move, thereby adjusting the length of the watch strap 200. In this embodiment, by setting two locking teeth 2411 and two mating teeth 2513, and with the teeth inclined in opposite directions, the limiting effect of the locking plate 24 on the gear 23 can be greatly improved. This ensures that even if the knob body 21 is subjected to a large torque, the gear 23 will not drive the rack 2512 to move synchronously with the knob body 21, which can greatly improve the self-locking effect on the watch strap 200.

[0090] In this embodiment, the position of the first locking tooth 24111 engaging with the first mating tooth 25131 and the position of the second locking tooth 24112 engaging with the second mating tooth 25132 can be determined according to the adjusted length position of the watch strap 200, so as to lock the watch strap 200 at that length position.

[0091] In this embodiment, see Figure 5 and Figure 6 Each of the opposite sides of the tray body 241 is provided with a slide block 2412, and each slide block 2412 has a sliding hole at each of its opposite ends. There are four reset members 242, each corresponding to one of the four sliding holes. Each reset member 242 includes a reset spring 2421 and a guide post 2422. The guide post 2422 passes through the sliding hole and engages with the bottom of the slide rail 11, used to fix the reset spring 2421 between the bottom cover 14 and the tray body 241, so that the reset spring 2421 provides the tray body 241 with an upward rebound force.

[0092] Specifically, the guide post 2422 can be fixed to the bottom cover 14, and the return spring 2421 is sleeved on the guide post 2422. The free end of the guide post 2422 passes through the sliding hole, so that the slide 2412 and the return spring 2421 abut against each other. Then, a limiting block 2423 is set to fix the free end of the guide post 2422 to fix the slide 2412 to the guide post 2422, ensuring that the slide 2412 will not detach from the free end of the guide post 2422 during the up and down movement along the guide post 2422. In this embodiment, the slide 2412 and the bottom cover 14 are subjected to the action of the return spring 2421, which allows the tray body 241 to move towards the bottom cover 14 when subjected to the pressure of the gear 23, and the tray body 241 to automatically spring back upward when the gear 23 removes the pressure on the tray body 241. In this embodiment, the limiting block 2423 can be integrally formed with the guide post 2422, and the guide post 2422 can be screwed into the bottom cover 14 to complete the assembly of the reset component 242 and the bottom cover 14. No specific limitations are imposed here. Of course, the reset component 242 can also have other structures, and is not limited to this. It can be flexibly set according to actual usage requirements, and all are within the protection scope of this patent.

[0093] See Figure 3 To further ensure a smoother and more stable extension and retraction of the watch strap 200, preventing strong vibrations from affecting the user experience, a spring component 26 is preferably provided between the slider 251 of the watch strap connector 25 and the housing 1 to counteract or mitigate the vibrations generated during the sliding of the slider 251. Specifically, the spring component 26 may include a guide rod 261, a telescopic spring 262, and a guide sleeve 263. Preferably, a guide rod 261 is provided on each of the two edges of the slider 251 away from the end of the watch strap connector 252, and a telescopic spring 262 is threaded through each guide rod 261. Preferably, the two guide sleeves 263 are fixed to opposite sides of the bottom cover 14 to mate with the free ends of the telescopic springs 262. In this way, as the slider 251 slides along the slide rail 11, the vibration of the slider 251 during sliding can be effectively mitigated, thereby greatly improving the stability of the watch strap connector 252 during movement, allowing the watch strap 200 to extend and shorten smoothly.

[0094] Furthermore, when the user presses the knob body 21, the elastic components 26 on both sides cause the strap connecting piece 252 to pop out directly. Simultaneously, when the user releases the knob body 21 within a short time, the return spring 2421 causes the support plate body 241 to spring back, so that the locking teeth 2411 engage with the mating teeth 2513. Therefore, with each press, the length of the strap 200 increases slightly until it reaches its maximum length. In other words, in this embodiment, the user can gradually adjust the length of the strap 200 by pressing and releasing the knob body 21. Of course, the user can also adjust the length of the strap 200 according to their comfort during wear by pressing and simultaneously rotating the knob body 21. Releasing the knob automatically locks the length of the strap 200, greatly simplifying the adjustment process.

[0095] It should be noted that the above embodiments can be freely combined as needed. The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
