[0002] The crown of a watch, often also called the "stem" or "button", is an important mechanical component of a watch, usually located at the 3 o'clock position on the side of the watch case (for watch models designed for left-handed people, sometimes also at the 9 o'clock position). The main functions of the crown include: time setting, winding, function control, waterproofing and protection, aesthetics and decoration. The materials and designs of the crown are diverse, and it can be made of metal, ceramic, rubber or other composite materials. Its shape and size also vary according to the design style and brand characteristics of the watch. For example, some vintage-style watches may use an "onion" crown, while sports watches tend to use a crown with anti-slip texture for easy operation even when wearing gloves.

[0035] Working principle:

[0036] In the actual design process of the present utility model, in order to avoid the following defects existing in the prior art: "The crown in the comparative document still needs to adopt the mechanical transmission rotating shaft method to control the smart watch dial, that is, there is not much difference from the traditional mechanical watch. And for the existing smart watch, customers require the crown to have both the style of the traditional crown and the effect of the smart watch. Therefore, the utility model of the comparative document cannot meet the performance requirements of such smart watches." The non-rotary crown assembly 2 is specifically proposed.

[0037] Usage method: When it is necessary to rotate the crown to adjust the time, manually press the pressing film 11 part. Since the pressing film 11 is an elastic rubber film structure, it will elastically expand and contract and squeeze the slider 8 on one side of the rod 9 to slide inside the conduit 7. The slider 8 will touch the surface of the pressure-sensitive control unit 5. Since the pressure-sensitive control unit 5 is activated, the touch screen 13 can then be used. Gently rotate with the index finger and thumb on the surface of the touch screen 13 to simulate the twisting method of the traditional crown, and the crown ring 12 will control the internal electronic watch dial 17 to achieve the adjustment effect, avoiding the mechanical damage caused by pulling out the crown in the prior art.
