Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of watches, in particular to a watch strap and a watch. Background Art

[0002] Smartwatches typically include internal sensing components such as a barometer. The barometer calculates atmospheric pressure to convert the current altitude. Therefore, an opening is required in the watch body to connect the barometer to the outside air. Due to the limitations of the watch's structure, with the screen on the top surface and the skin in contact with the bottom surface, these openings are not suitable. Therefore, the opening is typically located on the side of the watch body. To minimize the appearance of the watch, the opening is typically located between the two lugs on one side of the watch body, below the watch strap. This makes the opening less visible under the watch strap's obstruction, thus affecting the aesthetics. However, in some situations (such as rain or washing hands), openings on the side of a watch can allow water or other liquids to enter the watch directly through the front of the opening, affecting the barometer readings and potentially damaging the watch. Furthermore, when the external airflow is too fast, the airflow directly enters the watch body through the opening, creating a significant impact that can adversely affect the readings of sensing components such as the barometer. Utility Model Content

[0003] The first purpose of the present utility model is to provide a watch strap that can better prevent liquid from directly entering the air flow holes of the watch body, thereby reducing the chance of damage to the watch body and ensuring that the air flow flows indirectly and stably to the air flow holes, thereby ensuring the detection accuracy of the measuring elements inside the watch body.

[0004] The second purpose of the present invention is to provide a watch that can better prevent liquid from directly entering the interior of the watch, thereby reducing the chance of damage to the watch and ensuring that airflow flows indirectly and stably into the interior of the watch, thereby ensuring the detection accuracy of the measuring elements of the watch.

[0005] In order to achieve the above technical effects, the technical solution of the utility model is as follows:

[0006] The utility model discloses a watch strap, which is used for a watch. The watch includes a watch body and two adjacent lugs, wherein the two lugs are arranged on one side of the watch body, and the watch body is provided with air flow holes. The watch strap includes: a main body; a coupling part, one end of which is connected to the main body, and the coupling part is used to connect with the lugs; an abutment part, which is connected to the other end of the coupling part, and the abutment part is provided with a groove; when the coupling part is connected to the lugs, the abutment part can abut between the side surface of the watch body and the coupling part, so that the side surface of the watch body closes the notch of the groove to form an air flow channel, and external air can pass through the air flow channel and enter the air flow hole.

[0007] In some embodiments, at least one end of the airflow channel along its length is open, and the open end of the airflow channel is in communication with the external environment.

[0008] In some embodiments, a connecting groove is further provided on the side wall of the groove, and the connecting groove is arranged corresponding to the air flow hole.

[0009] The utility model also discloses a watch, comprising: a watch body, the watch body being provided with an air flow hole; two watch lugs, the two watch lugs being arranged on the watch body at intervals and located on both sides of the air flow hole; and the watch strap mentioned above, the coupling portion of the watch strap being connectable to the watch lugs.

[0010] In some embodiments, the abutment portion includes a first abutment surface and a second abutment surface provided on both sides of the groove, and the watch body is provided with a first mating surface and a second mating surface; wherein: when the coupling portion is installed on the watch lug, the first abutment surface abuts against the first mating surface, and the second abutment surface abuts against the second mating surface.

[0011] In some specific embodiments, the first stop surface and the first mating surface are arc-shaped surfaces, the air flow hole is provided on the first mating surface, and the first stop surface is provided with a connecting groove corresponding to the air flow hole.

[0012] In some embodiments, the groove is open at at least one end along its length, and the lug is provided with a vent hole communicating with the open end of the groove.

[0013] In some specific embodiments, along the length direction of the groove, the air flow hole is provided corresponding to the middle portion of the groove.

[0014] In some specific embodiments, the ventilation hole is a tapered hole, and the small end of the tapered hole is arranged toward the strap.

[0015] In some embodiments, a socket is provided on the lug, a spring ear is passed through the coupling portion, both ends of the spring ear extend out of the coupling portion, and the end of the spring ear extending out of the coupling portion can be inserted into the socket.

[0016] The watchband of the present invention has the following beneficial effects: during the watchband installation process, after the coupling portion is attached to the watch lug, the abutment portion precisely abuts against the outer peripheral surface of the watch body, thereby concealing the airflow holes and improving the aesthetics of the watch body. Because the abutment portion is formed with a groove, the outer peripheral surface of the watch body can close the notch of the groove (herein, the notch refers to the opening in the groove corresponding to the bottom of the groove), thereby enclosing an airflow channel between the watch body and the abutment portion. On the one hand, in environments with liquid splashing (such as rain or when the user is washing hands), the airflow holes provided on the watch body are concealed within the airflow channel, effectively reducing the chance of liquid entering the airflow holes, thereby reducing the risk of watch body failure. On the other hand, in conditions of unstable external airflow (such as windy conditions or when the user is running or cycling), since the airflow holes provided on the watch body are concealed within the airflow channel, external air must first enter the airflow channel before flowing into the airflow holes from within the airflow channel. The airflow channel acts as a buffer and stabilizes the airflow, thereby ensuring the detection accuracy of the measuring element within the watch body.

[0017] The beneficial effects of the watch of the present invention are as follows: due to the watch strap described above, the watch can better prevent liquid from directly entering the interior of the watch, which can not only reduce the chance of damage to the watch, but also ensure that the air flow flows indirectly and stably into the interior of the watch, ensuring the detection accuracy of the measuring elements of the watch.

[0018] Additional aspects and advantages of the present invention will be given in part in the following description and will become apparent from the following description or learned through practice of the present invention. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0030] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "mounted," "connected," and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they can refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; mechanical connections, electrical connections; direct connections, indirect connections through an intermediate medium, and internal communication between two components.

[0031] Reference below Figure 1-Figure 3 The specific structures of the watch strap 300 and the watch according to the embodiment of the present invention are described.

[0032] The utility model discloses a watch strap 300, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the watch includes a watch body 100 and two adjacent lugs 200. The two lugs 200 are arranged on one side of the watch body 100. The watch body 100 is provided with air flow holes 110. Figure 3As shown, the strap 300 includes a main body 310, a coupling portion 320 and a butting portion 330, one end of the coupling portion 320 is connected to the main body 310, the coupling portion 320 is used to connect to the watch lug 200, and the butting portion 330 is connected to the other end of the coupling portion 320, and the butting portion 330 is provided with a groove 331; when the coupling portion 320 is connected to the watch lug 200, the butting portion 330 can abut between the side of the watch body 100 and the coupling portion 320, so that the side of the watch body 100 closes the notch of the groove 331 to form an air flow channel, and external air can pass through the air flow channel into the air flow hole 110.

[0033] It is understood that the main body 310 is intended for wear, the coupling portion 320 is intended to connect to the watch body 100, and the abutting portion 330 is intended to conceal the airflow holes 110 provided on the watch body 100. Specifically, when the coupling portion 320 is mounted on the lug 200, the abutting portion 330 abuts against the outer circumference of the watch body 100, thereby concealing the airflow holes 110 and improving the aesthetics of the watch body 100. Because the abutting portion 330 is formed with a groove 331, the outer circumference of the watch body 100 can close the notch of the groove 331 (the notch here refers to the opening in the groove 331 corresponding to the bottom of the groove), thereby enclosing an airflow channel between the watch body 100 and the abutting portion 330. On the one hand, in an environment where liquid splashes (such as rain or when the user washes his hands), since the air flow holes 110 provided on the watch body 100 are hidden in the air flow channel, the probability of liquid entering the air flow holes 110 is greatly reduced, thereby reducing the failure rate of the watch body 100; on the other hand, in the case of unstable external airflow (such as windy weather or when the user is running or riding a bicycle), since the air flow holes 110 provided on the watch body 100 are hidden in the air flow channel, the external air needs to enter the air flow channel first and then flow into the air flow holes 110 from the air flow channel. The air flow channel plays a role in buffering and stabilizing the airflow, thereby ensuring the detection accuracy of the measuring element inside the watch body 100.

[0034] In some embodiments, the airflow channel is open at least at one end along its length, and the open end of the airflow channel is in communication with the external environment. It is understood that the depth direction of the airflow hole 110 is substantially perpendicular to the length of the airflow channel, and the airflow channel is open at least at one end along its length, and the open end of the airflow channel is in communication with the external environment. This allows external air to first enter the airflow channel along its length and then, after turning a corner, enter the airflow hole 110. This significantly reduces the impact of the airflow at the airflow hole 110, resulting in a slower and more stable flow rate of air entering the airflow hole 110, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the measurement element within the meter body 100.

[0035] Preferably, the air flow channel is open at both ends along its length. Thus, the air flow channel opened at both ends facilitates the introduction of external air into the air flow channel, allowing air to smoothly enter the air flow holes 110, thereby ensuring the detection accuracy of the measuring element inside the meter body 100.

[0036] Of course, it should be noted that in other embodiments of the present invention, the groove 331 on the abutting portion 330 is directly closed at both ends, so that the airflow channel is closed at both ends along its length. The abutting portion 330 is provided with a communication hole arranged at an angle to the length of the groove 331, and the communication hole can also achieve communication between the airflow channel and the external environment. In other words, the method of communication between the airflow channel and the external environment in the present invention can be determined according to actual needs.

[0037] In some embodiments, as Figure 3 As shown, the sidewall of the groove 331 is further provided with a communication groove 332, which is arranged corresponding to the airflow hole 110. It can be understood that the communication groove 332 is arranged corresponding to the airflow hole 110. When air flows into the airflow channel and reaches the position of the communication groove 332, it can flow toward the airflow hole 110. The additional communication groove 332 can further buffer the airflow, thereby making the airflow toward the airflow hole 110 more stable, thereby ensuring the detection accuracy of the measuring element inside the meter body 100.

[0038] The utility model also discloses a watch, such as Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the watch comprises a watch body 100, two lugs 200, and the aforementioned watch strap 300. The watch body 100 is provided with an airflow hole 110. The two lugs 200 are spaced apart on the watch body 100 and located on either side of the airflow hole 110. The coupling portion 320 of the watch strap 300 is capable of connecting with the lugs 200. Due to the aforementioned watch strap 300, the watch can effectively prevent liquid from directly entering the watch interior, reducing the risk of damage to the watch while ensuring indirect and stable airflow into the watch interior, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the measurement components of the watch.

[0039] In some embodiments, as Figure 3 As shown, the abutment portion 330 includes a first abutment surface 333 and a second abutment surface 334 provided on either side of the groove 331. The watch body 100 is provided with a first mating surface 120 and a second mating surface 130. When the coupling portion 320 is mounted on the watch lug 200, the first abutment surface 333 abuts the first mating surface 120, and the second abutment surface 334 abuts the second mating surface 130.

[0040] First, it should be noted that, in actual operation, in order to ensure the working stability of the watch body 100 and the stability of the airflow to the air flow hole 110 , it is necessary to ensure that the joint position of the abutting portion 330 and the watch body 100 has good sealing properties.

[0041] It can be understood that in this embodiment, a first stop surface 333 and a second stop surface 334 are provided on the abutting portion 330, and a first mating surface 120 and a second mating surface 130 are provided on the watch body 100. When the coupling portion 320 is installed on the watch lug 200, the first stop surface 333 abuts against the first mating surface 120, and the second stop surface 334 abuts against the second mating surface 130. The abutting connection relationship can ensure that the combined position of the abutting portion 330 and the watch body 100 has good sealing properties, thereby ensuring the working stability of the watch body 100 and the stability of the airflow to the airflow hole 110.

[0042] In some specific embodiments, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the first abutment surface 333 and the first mating surface 120 are arcuate surfaces. The airflow hole 110 is provided on the first mating surface 120, and the first abutment surface 333 is provided with a connecting groove 332 corresponding to the airflow hole 110. It can be understood that the arcuate shape of the first abutment surface 333 and the first mating surface 120 further enhances the sealing properties of the joint between the abutment portion 330 and the watch body 100 and limits the rotation of the watch band 300 relative to the watch body 100 to a certain extent, thereby improving the stability of the connection between the watch band 300 and the watch body 100. Furthermore, the connecting groove 332 is provided corresponding to the airflow hole 110. When air flows into the airflow channel and reaches the connecting groove 332, it can flow toward the airflow hole 110. The addition of the connecting groove 332 further buffers the airflow, thereby ensuring a more stable airflow to the airflow hole 110, thereby ensuring the detection accuracy of the measuring element within the watch body 100.

[0043] In some embodiments, as Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the groove 331 is open along at least one end of its length, and the watch lug 200 is provided with a vent 210 that communicates with the open end of the groove 331. It will be appreciated that the depth direction of the airflow hole 110 is substantially perpendicular to the length direction of the airflow channel. The openness of the groove 331 along at least one end of its length ensures that the airflow channel is open along at least one end of its length. The open end of the airflow channel communicates with the vent 210, which in turn communicates with the external environment. As a result, after external air flows in through the vent 210, it first enters the airflow channel along its length and then, after turning during the flow process, enters the airflow hole 110. This significantly reduces the impact of the airflow at the airflow hole 110, resulting in a slower and more stable flow rate of air entering the airflow hole 110, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the measurement element within the watch body 100.

[0044] In some specific embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, along the length of the groove 331, the airflow hole 110 is provided in the middle of the groove 331. It is understood that the provision of the airflow hole 110 in the middle of the groove 331 can extend the flow path of the airflow within the airflow channel. The airflow will not enter the airflow hole 110 until it reaches the middle of the airflow channel. This greatly reduces the impact of the airflow at the airflow hole 110, making the airflow entering the airflow hole 110 slower and more stable, thereby ensuring the detection accuracy of the measuring element inside the meter body 100.

[0045] In some specific embodiments, the vent 210 is a tapered hole, with the smaller end of the tapered hole facing the watch band 300. It will be appreciated that the tapered hole ensures that as much air as possible enters the airflow channel, thereby facilitating detection of the measuring element within the watch body 100. Furthermore, since the vent 210 is tapered, if liquid splashes onto the lug 200, the liquid can flow out of the lug 200 along the tapered surface of the vent 210, thereby reducing the chance of liquid entering the airflow channel. Of course, it should be noted that in other embodiments of the present invention, the shape and cross-sectional dimensions of the vent 210 can be selected according to actual needs.

[0046] In some embodiments, the lug 200 is provided with a socket 220, and a spring tab 400 is inserted into the coupling portion 320. Both ends of the spring tab 400 extend out of the coupling portion 320, and the end of the spring tab 400 extending out of the coupling portion 320 can be inserted into the socket 220. It is understood that during the actual assembly process, the ends of the coupling portion 320 are respectively abutted against the two lugs 200, and then the spring tab 400 is moved to insert the end of the spring tab 400 into the socket 220, thereby completing the connection between the lug 200 and the coupling portion 320. Using the spring tab 400 to connect the coupling portion 320 and the lug 200 can facilitate assembly and disassembly.

[0047] It should be noted that, in order to ensure that both ends of the spring ear 400 can be inserted into the two watch ears 200 respectively, the spring ear 400 is a pin structure with an elastic part. This structure is a relatively mature product in the watch field and does not need to be explained in detail here.
