[0046] In order to make the technical solutions and advantages of the present application more clear, the implementation methods of the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0047] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the embodiment of the present application provides a watch strap assembly, which includes a watch strap body 100, a first connector 200 and a second connector 300. The watch strap body 100 has a first end 110, a main body 120 and a second end 130, wherein the main body 120 is located between the first end 110 and the second end 130, and the main body 120 includes a first part 121 and a second part 122, the first part 121 is magnetic, the second part 122 is not magnetic, and the two ends of the second part 122 are respectively connected to the first part 121 and the first end 110. It should be noted that the first end 110 and a part of the main body 120 are suitable for fitting with the user's wrist.

[0048] The first end portion 110 is magnetic, and the first end portion 110 is folded back toward the second end portion 130 and magnetically attached to the first portion 121 in a relatively movable manner, and the folded portion of the main body portion 120 away from the second end portion 130 forms a through space 140. The magnetic pole of the first end portion 110 toward the first portion 121 is opposite to the magnetic pole of the first portion 121 toward the first end portion 110. Thus, the first end portion 110 and the first portion 121 can be attached together according to the principle of opposites attracting each other in magnetic adsorption, and the position between the first end portion 110 and the main body portion 120 can be relatively fixed.

[0049] The first connector 200 is mounted to the folded portion of the main body 120 away from the second end 130, and a portion of the first connector 200 passes through the through space 140. The second connector 300 is disposed opposite to the first connector 200 and connected to the second end 130.

[0050] With the strap assembly provided in the embodiment of the present application, when the second end 130 of the strap body 100 and the second connector 300 are relatively fixed, the first end 110 of the strap body 100 can be pulled around the first connector 200 by the user to move closer to or away from the first connector 200. The first end 110 can then be fixed at any position on the first portion 121. In other words, the strap assembly provided in the embodiment of the present application can use the principle of magnetic adsorption to achieve infinite adjustment, so as to adjust the wearing length of the strap body 100 according to the needs of the user, thereby improving the convenience of the user in adjusting the length of the strap body 100, and allowing the strap body 100 to be adapted to wrists of different circumferences.

[0051] The following is combined with Figures 1 to 7 The details and functions of the strap assembly provided in the embodiment of the present application are described in more detail.

[0052] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the first portion 121 and the first end portion 110 both include permanent magnets, so that the first portion 121 and the first end portion 110 follow the principle of opposites attracting each other and can be magnetically attracted together.

[0053] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the strap body 100 includes a strap shell 150, a first strap core 161, a second strap core 162 and a third strap core 163, wherein the first strap core 161 and the third strap core 163 are both magnetic, and the second strap core 162 is not magnetic.

[0054] The belt shell 150 has a first installation cavity 153, a second installation cavity 154 and a third installation cavity 155 which are connected in sequence. The first belt core 161 is located in the first installation cavity 153, the second belt core 162 is located in the second installation cavity 154, and the third belt core 163 is located in the third installation cavity 155. When the watch band body 100 is worn, the first belt core 161 and the third belt core 163 can be relatively movable and magnetically adsorbed. It can be understood that the belt shell 150 can play a certain protective role on the first belt core 161, the second belt core 162 and the third belt core 163, and prevent the first belt core 161, the second belt core 162 and the third belt core 163 from being worn. It should be noted that the belt shell 150 can be made of metal, leather, nylon, rubber and other materials. The surface of the belt shell 150 can be a textured surface, or provided with other patterns, so as to improve the aesthetics of the watch band assembly.

[0055] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the first core member 161, the second core member 162 and the third core member 163 are integrally formed. Thus, when the user wears the watch, the wrist feels smoother and more comfortable to wear.

[0056] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the first core member 161 includes a plurality of core blocks 164, and the plurality of core blocks 164 are arranged side by side in the first mounting cavity 153. For example, the plurality of core blocks 164 may be array-type block magnets with strong magnetism, so that the first end portion 110 and the first portion 121 can be more firmly adsorbed together.

[0057] like Figure 3 or Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the first installation cavity 153 and the third installation cavity 155 are grooves, and the grooves are provided with openings in the thickness direction of the shell 150. It should be noted that the first core member 161 and the third core member 163 can be respectively embedded in the corresponding grooves by bonding, clamping, etc. Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the belt shell 150 is provided with a notch 152, and the notch 152 can be arranged opposite to the opening of the first installation cavity 153 in the thickness direction of the belt shell 150. It should be noted that the notch 152 can achieve lightweight of the strap body 100, and the size of the notch 152 can be set according to requirements.

[0058] Combination Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the first connecting member 200 includes a first support arm 210, a second support arm 220 and a first mounting member 230. The first support arm 210 and the second support arm 220 are arranged opposite to each other, and the two ends of the first mounting member 230 are connected to the first support arm 210 and the second support arm 220 respectively. Among them, the first mounting member 230 passes through the through space 140. It can be understood that when the strap assembly is assembled, the first end 110 can pass through between the first support arm 210 and the second support arm 220 and bypass the first mounting member 230, and then fold back toward the second end 130 to form the above-mentioned through space 140. In some embodiments, the first mounting member 230 can be rod-shaped, for example, a rod body with telescopic performance such as a spring rod, so as to improve the assembly efficiency and replacement efficiency of the strap assembly.

[0059] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the extension direction of the first mounting member 230 is perpendicular to the extension direction of the main body 120. For example, when the first mounting member 230 is a rod, the axial direction of the first mounting member 230 is perpendicular to the extension direction of the main body 120, so that when the first end 110 is pulled, the folded part of the main body 120 is prevented from being difficult to pull due to twisting and other phenomena. That is, it is ensured that the user can easily and smoothly pull the first end 110 to adjust the part of the main body 120 that fits the wrist to a suitable length, thereby improving the convenience of adjustment.

[0060] like Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, a first mounting groove 211 is provided on the surface of the first support arm 210 facing the first support arm 210. A second mounting groove (not shown in the figure) is provided on the surface of the second support arm 220 facing the first support arm 210, and the first mounting groove 211 is arranged opposite to the second mounting groove. The two ends of the first mounting member 230 are respectively located in the first mounting groove 211 and the second mounting groove. Thus, the first mounting member 230 can be connected to the first support arm 210 and the second support arm 220. For example, the two ends of the first mounting member 230 can be respectively inserted into the first mounting groove 211 and the second mounting groove, thereby improving the flexibility of disassembly and assembly of the first mounting member 230.

[0061] Combination Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the first connecting member 200 further includes a second mounting member 240, which is connected between the first supporting arm 210 and the second supporting arm 220 and is away from the first end 110 relative to the first mounting member 230. It should be noted that the second mounting member 240 is suitable for connecting with the dial, so that the strap assembly and the dial can be fixed together. The shape of the second mounting member 240 is adapted to the shape of the peripheral side of the dial.

[0062] Combination Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the second end 130 is provided with a through hole 131, and the through hole 131 is through in the width direction of the second end 130. A part of the second connector 300 passes through the through hole 131. Thus, the second connector 300 can be connected to the strap body 100. In some embodiments, the second connector 300 includes a third support arm 310, a fourth support arm 320, a third mounting member 330 and a fourth mounting member 340, and the two ends of the third mounting member 330 are respectively connected to the third support arm 310 and the fourth support arm 320, and the fourth mounting member 340 is connected between the third support arm 310 and the fourth support arm 320 and is away from the first end 110 relative to the third mounting member 330. It can be understood that the fourth mounting member 340 and the second mounting member 240 are respectively located on the opposite side of the dial in the watch and connected, and the fourth mounting member 340 is adapted to the shape of the peripheral side of the dial. It should be noted that the third mounting member 330 can pass through the through hole 131 and be connected to the third support arm 310 and the fourth support arm 320. The third mounting member 330 may be a rod body having a shape matching that of the through hole 131 , for example, the third mounting member 330 may be a spring rod, thereby improving the assembly efficiency and replacement efficiency of the second connecting member 300 and the second end portion 130 .

[0063] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, in some embodiments, the strap assembly further includes a buckle 400, and the buckle 400 has a third groove 410. The first end 110 is embedded in the third groove 410. It should be noted that the buckle 400 can be made of metal, or the same material as the case 150. By providing the buckle 400, not only the aesthetics of the strap body 100 can be improved, but also the first end 110 can be better protected.

[0064] Combination Figures 1 to 7 As shown, on the other hand, an embodiment of the present application provides a watch, which includes a strap assembly as described in any one of the embodiments of the present application. It should be noted that the components of the strap assembly in the watch and their corresponding functions are the same as the components of the strap assembly as described in any one of the embodiments of the present application, and the embodiments of the present application are not repeated here.
