Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of watches, and in particular to a magnetic watch connection structure. Background Art

[0002] In the traditional watch industry, the connection between the watch body and the watch strap has always been a key factor influencing the user experience and design diversity of the watch. For a long time, common connection methods between the watch body and the watch strap have mainly included pin buckles, butterfly buckles, and some more fixed inlay connections.

[0003] The pin buckle connection connects the strap to the watch body by fitting the pinhole on the strap with the pin buckle connected to the watch body. Although this connection method is simple in structure and low in cost, it has many inconveniences during use. For example, when wearing the watch, it is necessary to manually pass the strap through the pin buckle and adjust it to the appropriate pinhole position. This operation is relatively cumbersome, especially for users with poor hand dexterity or time constraints. The wearing process is relatively time-consuming. Moreover, long-term friction between the pin buckle and the strap can easily cause wear on the pinhole of the strap, affecting the service life and appearance of the strap. In addition, the firmness of the pin buckle connection is relatively limited. During strenuous exercise or when subjected to large external forces, the strap can easily fall off the pin buckle, creating the risk of losing the watch.

[0004] The butterfly clasp connection improves wearing convenience to a certain extent. It connects the watch strap to the watch body through a fastener shaped like a butterfly wing. To wear it, simply open the two sides of the fastener, insert the watch strap, and then close it. However, the butterfly clasp connection is relatively complex and has many parts, which not only increases the production cost of the watch but also increases the probability of failure. If a component inside the fastener is damaged, repair and replacement are relatively troublesome. Moreover, the butterfly clasp connection is relatively thick and heavy in appearance, which may not meet the overall aesthetic requirements of some watches that pursue a simple and lightweight design.

[0005] As for some more fixed, inlaid connections, the connection between the strap and the watch body is relatively tight, but removing and replacing the strap is very difficult. This connection method usually requires specialized tools and techniques to remove and replace the strap, making it almost impossible for ordinary users to do it themselves. This limits the user's ability to freely change the strap according to different occasions, personal preferences, or strap wear, reducing the flexibility and personalization of the watch.

[0006] As consumers' demands for a more personalized and user-friendly watch experience continue to rise, traditional connection methods are no longer able to meet market demands. Therefore, developing a connection structure that is easy to operate, provides a stable and reliable connection, and allows users to easily remove and replace watch straps has become a pressing issue for the watch industry. Summary of the Invention

[0007] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention provides a magnetic watch connection structure, which solves the problems raised by the above background technology.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention is implemented through the following technical solutions: a magnetic watch connection structure, including a watch body and a watch strap, the watch body and the watch strap are connected by a magnetic locking mechanism, the magnetic locking mechanism includes symmetrically arranged hooks, and vertically distributed second magnets, third magnets and first magnets, the third magnet is fixed inside the hook, and the third magnet is located between the second magnet and the first magnet, and the third magnet attracts the second magnet and the first magnet.

[0009] Furthermore, first slots are symmetrically opened on both sides of the watch body, the first magnet is fixed inside the first slot, hook slots are symmetrically opened on both sides of the watch body, the hook body at the top of the hook is engaged in the inside of the hook slot, and buckle plates are also buckled and fixed on both sides of the watch body.

[0010] Furthermore, the magnetic locking mechanism also includes a strap connector integrally connected to the end of the strap, and the strap connector is configured as a hollow structure, in which a lower frame body and an upper frame body that are interlocked are fixed, and the second magnet is fixed inside the lower frame body.

[0011] Furthermore, a button is movably provided in the middle of the lower frame body, a spring is provided inside the button, the two ends of the spring are respectively against the button and the upper frame body, the hooks are symmetrically provided in the cavities of the lower frame body and the upper frame body, and the hooks can slide toward each other in the cavities of the lower frame body and the upper frame body.

[0012] Furthermore, the strap connector and the bottom end of the lower frame body are both provided with key holes, and the pressing end of the button extends to the bottom of the strap connector through the key hole, that is, the pressing end of the button protrudes from the lower surface of the strap connector.

[0013] Furthermore, the hook includes a base body, the lower part of one end of the base body is integrally connected to the stop block, and the upper part is integrally connected to the hook body, the hook body is engaged inside the hook groove, a second slot is opened inside the base body, and the third magnet is fixed inside the second slot.

[0014] Furthermore, the hook further includes a second guide slope provided at the other end thereof, and a first guide slope is provided at the side of the button, and the second guide slope is fitted and matched with the first guide slope.

[0015] Furthermore, corresponding avoidance holes are provided inside the strap connector, the upper frame body, and the buckle plate, and the hook body extends to the outside of the strap connector through the avoidance holes, that is, the top end of the hook body protrudes from the upper surface of the strap connector.

[0016] Furthermore, the inner top end of the upper frame body is connected to a limiting column, and the top end of the spring is sleeved on the outside of the limiting column.

[0017] The present invention provides a magnetic watch connection structure. Compared with the prior art, it has the following advantages: 1. The third magnet in this connection structure attracts the second and first magnets. After the strap and watch body are initially engaged, the mutual magnetic attraction between the three magnets secures the hook body tightly within the hook slot. This magnetic attraction provides additional fixing force, greatly enhancing the stability of the connection between the strap and the watch body. It effectively prevents the strap from accidentally falling off during use due to strenuous exercise or strong external forces, reducing the risk of watch loss.

[0018] 2. When attaching the watch strap to the watch body, users no longer need to manually thread the strap through the buckle and precisely align the pinhole, as with traditional pin buckle connections, nor do they have to perform the complex opening and closing of butterfly clasps. Simply place the strap connector directly under the buckle plates on either side of the watch body, then press firmly. Guided by the inclined surface of the hook, the hook automatically snaps into the slot, completing the connection. The entire assembly process is simple and quick, even for users with limited manual dexterity or pressed for time, significantly saving wear time.

[0019] 3. To remove the watch strap, the user simply holds down the button. The button moves upward under force, and the guiding bevel pushes the hook to the sides, freeing the hook from the slot and allowing the strap to be easily removed. Compared to traditional connection methods, this eliminates the need for specialized tools or complex operations, allowing users to easily change the strap at any time according to different occasions, personal preferences, or strap wear, enhancing the flexibility and personalization of the watch.

[0020] 4. The precise locking design of the hook and slot, as well as the coordination between the strap connector and the watch body through the buckle plate and other structures, further ensure the stability of the connection. The tight coordination between these components makes the strap and the watch body form a whole, which will not loosen or shake during normal use, providing users with a more reliable experience.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0024] See also Figure 1-6 The present invention provides a technical solution: a magnetic watch connection structure, consisting of a watch body 1 and a watch strap 2, the watch body 1 and the watch strap 2 are connected by a magnetic locking mechanism, specifically: The watch body 1 is the main body of the watch, with first slots 11 symmetrically defined on either side for securing first magnets 12. The first magnets 12 are securely mounted within the first slots 11 by gluing or other fixing methods, providing a point of magnetic force for the magnetic engagement mechanism. The watch body 1 also has symmetrical hook slots 13 defined on either side. The shape and size of these slots match the hook body 273 at the top of the hook 27, allowing them to engage with the hook body 273, achieving a secure connection between the watch body and the watch strap. Buckle plates 14 are secured to the watch body 1 on both sides by buckling. The magnetic locking mechanism is a key component for achieving a reliable connection between the watch body and the watch strap. It includes a symmetrically arranged hook 27, a second magnet 25 and a third magnet 28 arranged vertically, and a first magnet 12. The second magnet 25 is fixed to the inside of the lower frame body 22 and is firmly fixed by gluing or other means, providing one of the magnetic application points for the magnetic locking mechanism. The third magnet 28 is fixed to the inside of the hook 27. Specifically, the hook 27 includes a base 271, which has a second slot 275 formed therein. The third magnet 28 is fixed to the inside of the second slot 275 by gluing or other fixing means. The third magnet 28 is located between the second magnet 25 and the first magnet 12, and is attracted to the second magnet 25 and the first magnet 12. This magnetic force enables the hook 27 to be tightly engaged in the hook groove 13 in the connected state, thereby enhancing the stability of the connection. The hook 27 is symmetrically arranged in the cavities of the lower frame body 22 and the upper frame body 23, and can slide toward each other in the cavities of the lower frame body 22 and the upper frame body 23. The lower part of the base body 271 of the hook 27 is integrally connected to the stopper 274, and the upper part is integrally connected to the hook body 273. The upper part of the hook body 273 is provided with an inclined surface structure, which plays a guiding role during the assembly process, so that the hook body 273 can be easily inserted into the hook groove 13. The other end of the hook 27 is provided with a second guide inclined surface 272, which is used to cooperate with the first guide inclined surface 241 on the side of the button 24 to realize the pushing effect of the button 24 on the hook 27; The watchband 2 is the wearing part of the watch, and its end is integrally connected to the watchband connector 21. The watchband connector 21 is set as a hollow structure, and the lower frame body 22 and the upper frame body 23 that are interlocked with each other are fixed inside the hollow structure, and the button 24 is movably set in the middle of the lower frame body 22. A spring 26 is set inside the button 24, and the two ends of the spring 26 are respectively against the button 24 and the upper frame body 23. In the natural state, the spring 26 is in a certain compression state, applying a downward elastic force to the button 24, so that the button 24 remains in the initial position. A first guide bevel 241 is provided on the side of the button 24, which is in contact with and adapted to the second guide bevel 272 of the hook 27. When the button 24 is forced to move upward, the guiding action of the first guide bevel 241 and the second guide bevel 272 can push the hook 27 to move to both sides. The bottom ends of the strap connector 21 and the lower frame 22 are both provided with key holes 221. The pressing end of the button 24 extends through the key hole 221 to the bottom of the strap connector 21. That is, the pressing end of the button 24 protrudes from the lower surface of the strap connector 21, making it convenient for the user to press the button. The top end of the upper frame 23 is connected to a limit post 231 , and the top end of the spring 26 is sleeved on the outside of the limit post 231 , playing a limiting role, preventing the spring 26 from deflecting during compression and extension, thereby ensuring the normal movement of the button 24 ; Corresponding avoidance holes 29 are provided inside the strap connector 21, the upper frame body 23 and the buckle plate 14. The hook body 273 extends to the outside of the strap connector 21 through the avoidance hole 29, that is, the top end of the hook body 273 protrudes from the upper surface of the strap connector 21, so that the hook body 273 can be smoothly inserted into the hook groove 13 of the watch body 1.

[0025] Working process 1. Assembly process: When assembling the watch strap 2 on both sides of the watch body 1 , the user can directly place the watch strap connectors 21 to which the watch strap 2 is connected on the lower parts of the buckle plates 14 on both sides of the watch body 1 .

[0026] Then, firmly press the strap connector 21. During this pressing process, the upper inclined surface of the hook 273 contacts the edge of the hook slot 13. Guided by the inclined surface, the hook 273 is gradually pressed into the hook slot 13. As the strap connector 21 continues to be pressed downward, the hook 273 and the hook slot 13 automatically engage due to the mutual attraction between the third magnet 28, the second magnet 25, and the first magnet 12, completing the initial connection between the watch body and the strap.

[0027] After the connection is complete, the third magnet 28 attracts the second magnet 25 and the first magnet 12, generating a magnetic force between the three. This magnetic force causes the hook 273 to be tightly engaged inside the hook groove 13, further enhancing the stability of the connection and preventing the watchband from accidentally falling off during use.

[0028] 2. Disassembly process: When the watch band 2 needs to be removed from the watch body 1, the user needs to keep pressing the button 24. After the button 24 is stressed, it will overcome the elastic force of the spring 26 and move upward.

[0029] As button 24 moves upward, it compresses spring 26, causing it to contract and store elastic potential energy. Furthermore, guided by first guide slope 241 and second guide slope 272, the upward movement of button 24 pushes hook 27 to move laterally. As hook 27 moves, hook body 273 gradually disengages from slot 13, allowing the user to easily remove watchband 2 from watch body 1.

[0030] When button 24 is no longer pressed, the reaction force of spring 26 pushes it downward until it returns to its initial position. The return of hook 27 is achieved through the magnetic attraction between third magnet 28, second magnet 25, and first magnet 12. Guided by this magnetic force, hook 27 automatically moves toward the center and returns to its original position, with second guide slope 272 and first guide slope 241 once again abutting against each other, preparing for the next assembly or disassembly.

[0031] Through the above implementation methods, the magnetic watch connection structure realizes convenient connection and disassembly between the watch body and the watch strap, is simple and convenient to operate, and the connection is stable and reliable, with good practicality and user experience.
