[0037] First see Figure 1 The utility model provides a watch strap 1, which includes a connector 10 and a strap body 20. The strap body 20 is connected to one end of the connector 10, and the strap body 20 is clamped on the watch body 3 through the connector 10 to achieve the connection and fixation between the strap body 20 and the watch body 3. Figure 2 and Figure 3 Two watch straps 1 form a wearable component 2, and the two watch straps 1 are respectively connected to the two sides of the watch body 3 through connectors 10. The wearable component 2 and the watch body 3 are enclosed to form a wearable cavity 4 with adjustable size. The user's wrist can be received in the wearable cavity 4 so that the watch body 3 can be worn on the wrist.
[0038] It should be noted that, at the same time, the ends of the two watch straps 1 away from the watch body 3 can also be removed to unlock the wearing cavity 4. At this time, the user's wrist can be separated from the wearing cavity 4, so that the watch body 3 is separated from the user's wrist, and the two watch straps 1 can also be removed from the watch body 3 separately.
[0039] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, positioning grooves 5 are provided on both sides of the watch body 3 , and the watch band 1 is connected to the positioning grooves 5 on both sides of the watch body 3 via the connector 10 .
[0040] It should be noted that in other embodiments, two mounting lugs are provided on both sides of the meter body 3, and the two mounting lugs enclose an installation space, the connector 10 is accommodated in the installation space, and the connector 10 can be snapped into the two mounting lugs, so that the connector 10 is fixedly connected to the mounting lugs.
[0041] refer to Figure 1 It should be noted that the strap 20 and the connector 10 are rotatably connected via the shaft 21, and the extension direction of the shaft 21 is parallel to the width direction of the strap 1. Since the connector 10 is installed in the positioning slot 5, the connector 10 cannot rotate relative to the watch body 3 and cannot adapt to the curvature of the user's wrist. Therefore, it is necessary to set the strap 20 to be able to rotate around the shaft 21 relative to the connector 10 to adjust the angle between the strap 20 and the watch body 3 to adapt to the curvature of the user's wrist. It can be understood that without considering whether the strap 1 can adapt to the curvature of the user's wrist, the strap 20 and the connector 10 can also be set to be fixedly connected, and any solution in which the strap 20 is connected to the connector 10 should be protected.
[0042] refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 The connector 10 includes a main body 100, a hook 200 and an elastic pad 300. The main body 100 has a first connecting end 110 and a second connecting end 120 opposite to each other. The first connecting end 110 is used to connect to the strap body 20 of the strap 1, and the second connecting end 120 is used to connect to the watch body 3, for example. Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the second connection end 120 is slidably installed in the positioning groove 5 of the watch body 3 from the side of the watch body 3; the hook 200 is provided at the second connection end 120, and the hook 200 and the second connection end 120 are enclosed to form a transversely extending receiving groove 210, and part of the structure of the watch body 3 can be received in the receiving groove 210, and at least one end of the receiving groove 210 in the transverse extension direction forms an assembly opening 211, for example Figure 5 As shown, assembly openings 211 are formed at both ends of the accommodating groove 210 in the lateral extension direction. The user can arbitrarily select one of the assembly openings 211 to install the watch body 3 in the accommodating groove 210, which is convenient for operation; the elastic pad 300 is arranged on the inner wall of the hook 200, and the elastic pad 300 is located in the accommodating groove 210. When the second connecting end 120 is installed in the positioning groove 5, the elastic pad 300 is squeezed and elastically deformed, so that the watch body 3 can be installed in the accommodating groove 210. When the second connecting end 120 is completely accommodated in the positioning groove 5, the elastic pad 300 is elastically deformed and completely fits the side of the watch body 3, so that there is no gap between the hook 200 and the watch body 3, and the installation is more stable.
[0043] It should be noted that, in other embodiments, an assembly opening 211 is formed at one end of the accommodating groove 210 in the lateral extension direction.
[0044] It should be noted that, in other embodiments, the second connection end 120 is installed into the installation space through the opening of the installation space of the watch body 3, and both ends of the accommodating groove 210 in the lateral extension direction form assembly openings 211.
[0045] To summarize, in the present application, the connector 10 includes a main body 100, a hook 200 and an elastic pad 300.
