Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of electronic watches, and more specifically, particularly relates to an easily detachable electronic watch and its quartz movement. Background Art

[0002] A quartz movement electronic watch is a watch with a quartz crystal oscillator as the core timing component, featuring high precision, low maintenance, and long lifespan. An easily detachable quartz movement electronic watch is designed to be simple and convenient for users to maintain and replace the battery by themselves. Such watches usually adopt a modular design to make the disassembly and installation of the movement, battery, and other components more convenient.

[0003] Based on the above findings, the existing easily detachable electronic watches mainly have the following deficiencies, such as:

[0004] For the currently available easily detachable quartz movement electronic watches on the market, although the movement disassembly and assembly process has been optimized, their function design is still limited to basic time display and simple additional functions, making it difficult to meet the increasingly diverse needs of users. For users who are in outdoor environments with large amounts of sand, dust, and wind for a long time, the existing design has obvious defects: the movable interface of the watch case lacks effective sealing and dust prevention measures, resulting in easy intrusion of sand and dust into the interior, which not only affects the movement operation but also may cause damage to the watch body due to particulate friction during wearing or disassembly.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to propose an easily detachable electronic watch and its quartz movement. Summary of the Invention

[0006] In order to solve the above technical problems, the purpose and efficacy of the easily detachable electronic watch and its quartz movement of the present invention are achieved by the following specific technical means:

[0007] Its structure includes a rotating body, a dial, an exhibition plate, a bottom case, a hanging port, a quartz movement, a mounting plate, a clamping block, a limiting port, and a magnetic strip. The rotating body and the bottom case are an integrated structure. The mounting plate is fixed by clamping the clamping block into the limiting port. The limiting port and the dial are an integrated structure. The exhibition plate rotates through the rotating body. The hanging port is fixed on the outer surface of the bottom case. The exhibition plate is located between the mounting plate and the bottom case. The quartz movement is assembled on the upper surface of the mounting plate and connected to the dial. The magnetic strip and the mounting plate are an integrated structure;

[0008] The exhibition plate includes a dust-proof ring, a battery slot, a compass plate, a convex block, an assembly groove, a connection port, and a bottom plate. The dust-proof ring is installed on the upper surface of the bottom plate. The battery slot is connected to the connection port through the bottom plate. The compass plate is assembled in the assembly groove. The convex block is fixed on the outer surface of the bottom plate. The assembly groove and the bottom plate are an integrated structure;

[0009] The chassis rotates around the swivel body as the center. The compass disk matches the shape of the assembly groove. The battery slot can transfer energy through the connection port to the function disk installed in the assembly groove after installing the battery. The chassis has two layers, upper and lower, which can be loaded and unloaded according to the required functions. The bump protrudes from the surface of the chassis to assist the user in applying force to rotate it. There are two layers of dust-proof rings to seal the gaps of the movable openings. The tight contact of the dust-proof ring at the upper end seals the space inside and outside to prevent sand and gravel from entering and causing wear when unscrewing inside.

[0010] As a further improvement of the present invention, the block can be placed in the limit port for loading and unloading by pressing. The inner groove of the mounting disk limits the quartz movement so that it can be aligned with the dial for installation. The upper and lower ends of the swivel body are fixed on the outer surfaces of the mounting disk and the bottom shell for support. When the block is snap-fixed with the limit port, the lower end of the dial is wrapped around the outer circle of the mounting disk, which can play a role in dust-proofing and easy loading and unloading. The block is in an up-and-down loading and unloading state, and its display disk is in a left-and-right unfolding loading and unloading state.

[0011] As a further improvement of the present invention, the quartz movement is an integral body, which is convenient for loading and unloading in the mounting disk. The hanging port can be worn in various ways according to needs. While the display disk rotates along with the swivel body, it will only rotate under the push of an external force. The swivel body itself has resistance and is in a static state when the display disk is not stressed. The bottom layer of the chassis is also provided with magnetic attraction strips that mutually attract with the magnetic strips of the second layer.

[0012] As a further improvement of the present invention, the assembly groove and the compass disk are connected by a snap and are magnetically fixed to the outer ring of the connection port. When it needs to be disassembled, just pick at its edge. The compass disk is stuck inside the assembly groove and will not fall off under normal use without being picked. The assembly groove can be assembled with other overall matching components according to needs, such as: compass disk, air pressure needle disk, temperature needle disk, etc.

[0013] As a further improvement of the present invention, the two layers of the chassis are both in an independent state and can be used separately. At most, two more function disks can be added. The dust-proof ring is of an annular structure and there are two in total.

[0014] As a further improvement of the present invention, the dust-proof ring includes an airbag, a spring body, a magnetic strip, a soft sticker layer, and a spring plate. The airbag is located inside the spring body for support. The magnetic strip is installed in the soft sticker layer. The spring plate is fixed on the outer surface of the soft sticker layer. The magnetic strip can be magnetically fixed to the magnetic attraction strip. There are four spring plates, and two of them are in a group, which are symmetrically distributed.

[0015] As a further improvement of the present invention, the elastic body is made of rubber material as a whole and is supported by an internal airbag. The soft patch layer itself has a certain softness and can be in close contact with the part contacted by the upper end through the support of the airbag. The spring plate can be pushed downward by an external force, and the rebound effect of the airbag and the elastic body causes it to shake off dust on its surface. The airbag is supported by its own gas to close the movable opening gap of the chassis.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] First, the quartz movement electronic watch adopts a simple and stable assembly and disassembly method. Users can easily install and disassemble it with one hand. The grooves inside the case can ensure that the movement is accurately positioned during installation and have a stable effect to prevent displacement.

[0018] Secondly, on the basis of making the quartz movement easy to install and remove, the design further introduces the concept of modular function disks. Users can flexibly add or remove function disks (such as compass disk, thermometer disk, etc.) according to actual needs, thereby expanding the functional diversity of the watch and adapting to more environments. Function disks can be added or removed as needed.

[0019] Third, for sandy and dusty environments, this quartz movement electronic watch is specially designed with a double protection mechanism. Its movable opening gaps can effectively isolate sand and dust from entering the interior, prevent sand and stones from getting stuck in the gaps and scratching the body during movement, and can shake off surface dust before opening to prevent secondary pollution.

Detailed implementation mode

[0029] The following further describes the present invention with reference to the attached drawings:

[0030] Example 1: As shown in the attached Figure 1 to the attached Figure 6 figure:

[0031] The present invention provides an electronic watch with easy disassembly and assembly and its quartz movement. The structure includes a rotating body 1, a dial 2, a display plate 3, a bottom case 4, a hanging opening 5, a quartz movement 6, a mounting plate 7, a clamping block 8, a limiting opening 9, and a magnetic strip 10. The rotating body 1 and the bottom case 4 are of an integrated structure. The mounting plate 7 is fixed by clamping the clamping block 8 into the limiting opening 9. The limiting opening 9 and the dial 2 are of an integrated structure. The display plate 3 rotates through the rotating body 1. The hanging opening 5 is fixed on the outer surface of the bottom case 4. The display plate 3 is located between the mounting plate 7 and the bottom case 4. The quartz movement 6 is assembled on the upper surface of the mounting plate 7 and is connected to the dial 2. The magnetic strip 10 and the mounting plate 7 are of an integrated structure;

[0032] The display plate 3 includes a dust-proof ring 31, a battery slot 32, a compass plate 33, a convex block 34, an assembly groove 35, a connecting port 36, and a chassis 37. The dust-proof ring 31 is installed on the upper surface of the chassis 37. The battery slot 32 is connected to the connecting port 36 through the chassis 37. The compass plate 33 is assembled in the assembly groove 35. The convex block 34 is fixed on the outer surface of the chassis 37. The assembly groove 35 and the chassis 37 are of an integrated structure;

[0033] The chassis 37 rotates around the rotating body 1 as the center. The shape of the compass plate 33 matches that of the assembly groove 35. After installing the battery, the battery slot 32 can transfer energy through the connecting port 36 to the functional plate installed in the assembly groove 35. The chassis 37 has two layers in total, upper and lower, and can be disassembled and assembled according to the required functions. The convex block 34 protrudes from the surface of the chassis 37 to assist the user in applying force to rotate it. The dust-proof ring 31 has two layers in total, which seals the gaps of the movable openings. The tight contact of the dust-proof ring 31 at the upper end seals the space inside and outside, preventing sand and stones from entering and causing wear when rotating inside. The clamping block 8 is an elastic block with certain elasticity, and can be flexibly disassembled and assembled at the position of the limiting opening 9.

[0034] Among them, the card block 8 can be placed in the limit port 9 by pressing for loading and unloading. The inner groove of the mounting disc 7 positions the quartz movement 6 so that it can be aligned with the dial 2 for installation. The upper and lower ends of the rotating body 1 are fixed on the outer surfaces of the mounting disc 7 and the bottom case 4 for support. When the card block 8 is snap-fixed with the limit port 9, the lower end of the dial 2 wraps around the outer circle of the mounting disc 7, which can play a role in dust prevention and easy loading and unloading. The card block 8 is in an up-and-down loading and unloading state, and the display disc 3 is in a left-and-right unfolding loading and unloading state. The inner rotating shaft of the rotating body 1 has resistance and is in a static state when the display disc 3 is not stressed.

[0035] Among them, the quartz movement 6 is a whole, which can be conveniently loaded and unloaded in the mounting disc 7. The hanging port 5 can be worn in various ways according to needs. When the display disc 3 rotates along with the rotating body 1, it will only rotate under the push of an external force. The rotating body 1 itself has resistance and is in a static state when the display disc 3 is not stressed. The bottom layer of the bottom chassis 37 is also provided with a magnetic strip 10 that adsorbs with the second-layer magnetic strip 13, and the magnetic strip 10 corresponds to the magnetic strip 13 when in place.

[0036] Among them, the assembly groove 35 and the compass disc 33 are connected by snap and are magnetically fixed to the outer circle of the connection port 36. When it needs to be disassembled, just pick at its edge. The compass disc 33 is stuck inside the assembly groove 35 and will not fall off under normal use without being picked. The assembly groove 35 can be assembled with other components of the overall set according to needs, such as: compass disc, barometric needle disc, temperature needle disc, etc. There are two battery slots 32 in total. When one layer is not in use, batteries can be placed as a backup.

[0037] Among them, the two layers of the bottom chassis 37 are in an independent state and can be used separately. Up to two more function discs can be added. The dust-proof rings 31 are in a circular ring structure and there are two in total. The protruding parts of the convex blocks 34 can help the whole rotate better under force.

[0038] The specific usage method and function of this embodiment:

[0039] In the present invention, the electronic watch with a quartz movement can be worn through its hanging opening 5 according to the required wearing method, and the function disc can be selected according to the required wearing scenario. The function disc such as the compass disc 33 is assembled in the assembly groove 35, and the battery is assembled in the battery groove 32. The compass disc 33 is activated by the connection between the battery groove 32 and the connection port 36. The entire quartz movement 6 is placed in the groove of the mounting disc 7. The latch 8 is pressed towards the middle and snapped into the limit port 9 to connect and control the quartz movement 6 with the dial 2. The dial 2 will cover the mounting disc 7. When other function discs are needed in the required scenario, the convex block 34 is pushed by an external force to rotate along the rotating body 1, so that the chassis 37 rotates out to the side to display the compass disc 33. The rotating body 1 itself has a certain resistance. When there is no external force to push the convex block 34, the chassis 37 will be in a static state at the position when it is pushed. Up to two function discs can be added. When not in use, the convex block 34 is pushed back to its original position, and its magnetic attraction strip 10 will be magnetically fixed to the magnetic strip 13, so that the function discs can be stored as a whole and worn normally.

[0040] Embodiment 2: As shown in the appended Figure 7 to the appended Figure 8 figures:

[0041] Among them, the dust-proof ring 31 includes an airbag 11, a spring body 12, a magnetic strip 13, a soft sticker layer 14, and a spring plate 15. The airbag 11 is located inside the spring body 12 for support. The magnetic strip 13 is installed in the soft sticker layer 14. The spring plate 15 is fixed to the outer surface of the soft sticker layer 14. The magnetic strip 13 can be magnetically fixed to the magnetic attraction strip 10. There are four spring plates 15 in total, with two in a group, distributed symmetrically. When the spring plate 15 is pressed down by force and rebounds, the dust intercepted and remaining on its surface is shaken off to prevent it from falling into the lower layer when the upper layer of the chassis 37 rotates open.

[0042] Among them, the spring body 12 is a rubber material structure as a whole and is supported by the internal airbag 11. The soft sticker layer 14 has a certain softness and can be in close contact with the upper contact part through the support of the airbag 11. The spring plate 15 can be toggled downward by an external force and shaken by the rebound effect of the airbag 11 and the spring body 12 to shake off the dust on its surface. The airbag 11 supports through its own gas to close the open gap where the chassis 37 can move. The two side surfaces of the spring body 12 are arc-shaped structures, which can better bend and bear force for support.

[0043] The specific usage method and function of this embodiment:

[0044] In the present invention, for the quartz movement electronic watch with easy disassembly and assembly, in order to add multiple function discs with easy disassembly and assembly, the movable gaps between them also increase accordingly. At the same time, through the support of the airbag 11 for the elastic body 12, the soft attachment layer 14 can tightly contact the upper end, isolating the spaces on both the inner and outer sides. The magnetic strip 13 and the magnetic attraction strip 10 are magnetically attracted to fix the position, preventing external sand and gravel from getting stuck in the movable opening. When it is necessary to open the chassis 37, the elastic plate 15 is pressed down by an external force, and the elastic plate 15 shakes off the dust on the outer surface of the elastic body 12 through the rebounding force, preventing the dust from falling into the lower layer when the upper layer of the chassis 37 is opened.

[0045] Any technical solution using the technical solution of the present invention, or designed by those skilled in the art inspired by the technical solution of the present invention to achieve the above technical effects, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
