[0025] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without making creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0026] Refer to Figures 1 to 7 , and a specific embodiment of the clock structure of the present utility model is proposed:

[0027] A clock structure includes a clock body 1, a clock cover 2 with openings at both front and rear ends, and a rear cover 3. The clock body 1 and the rear cover 3 are installed back to back in the clock cover 2. The front edge of the clock body 1 has a front abutting edge 101 with an outer diameter larger than the front port diameter of the clock cover 2, and the front edge of the rear cover 3 has a rear abutting edge 31 with an outer diameter larger than the rear port diameter of the clock cover 2. The clock body 1 is inserted into the clock cover 2 from the front port of the clock cover 2, and the front abutting edge 101 abuts against the front port edge of the clock cover 2; the rear cover 3 is covered on the rear port of the clock cover 2, and the rear abutting edge 31 abuts against the rear port edge of the clock cover 2. The rear cover 3 is located behind the clock body 1, and the rear cover 3 is fixedly connected to the clock body 1. The clock cover 2 is clamped between the front abutting edge 101 and the rear abutting edge 31, so that the rear cover 3, the clock body 1 and the clock cover 2 are combined. The assembly operation is simple and the connection is stable, and the clock body 1 is not easily detached from the clock cover 2.

[0028] A plurality of connecting posts 103 are integrally formed on the back surface of the clock body 1. A connecting through hole 34 corresponding to the connecting post 103 is provided on the back surface of the rear cover 3. A threaded connection hole is provided on the connecting post 103. A screw is inserted into the threaded connection hole through the connecting through hole 34 and tightened to fixedly connect the rear cover 3 to the clock body 1.

[0029] An annular groove 32 is formed by concave inward on the rear cover 3. The outer wall surface of the annular groove 32 fits against the inner wall of the rear port of the clock cover 2. By closely adhering the outer wall surface of the annular groove 32 to the inner wall of the rear port of the clock cover 2, the cooperation between the rear cover 3 and the clock cover 2 is made closer.

[0030] A face ring 13 is connected to the front abutting edge 101 of the clock body 1. A plurality of convex posts 102 are integrally formed on the front surface of the front abutting edge 101 of the clock body 1. Insertion holes 131 are formed on the back surface of the face ring 13. By snapping the convex posts 102 into the insertion holes 131 and having an interference fit with each other, the face ring 13 is fixedly connected to the clock body 1, and the disassembly and assembly operations of the face ring 13 are convenient.

[0031] The clock body 1 includes a chassis 10, a mounting platform 11 for heightening installed on the back surface of the chassis 10, a movement box 12 fixed on the mounting platform 11, and a pointer installed in the chassis 10. The movement box 12 is an important component of the clock and is used in existing clock products. A movement and a battery slot for power supply are provided in the movement box 12. A battery is installed in the battery slot to supply power to the movement. The driving head of the movement extends into the chassis 10 and is connected to the pointer to drive the pointer to move. A rocker is also assembled on the movement box 12 in this embodiment.

[0032] A lapping ring is provided inside the front port of the chassis 10 of the clock body 1. A transparent face mask is placed on the lapping ring. The inner edge of the face ring 13 is pressed against the edge of the transparent face mask to fix the transparent face mask. After removing the face ring 13, the transparent face mask can be removed. The disassembly and assembly operations of the transparent face mask are convenient. The transparent face mask in this embodiment is a glass face mask.

[0033] A hollowed-out groove 33 is provided on the rear cover 3. The movement box 12 is exposed through the hollowed-out groove 33, which is convenient for the maintenance of the movement box 12. The transparent face mask is also convenient to disassemble, thus making the maintenance of the clock or the operation of replacing the battery more convenient and improving the convenience.

[0034] The movement box 12 and the hollowed-out groove 33 are in a positioning assembly, that is, the movement box 12 and the hollowed-out groove 33 are relatively limited in position through shape matching, so that the rear cover 3 is positioned relative to the clock cover 2 in the circumferential direction, and the rear cover 3 cannot rotate. One end of the hollowed-out groove 33 in this embodiment is arched, and one end of the movement box 12 is also designed with a convex shape adapted to the arch. Through this shape design, the movement box 12 and the hollowed-out groove 33 are relatively limited in position, so that the rear cover 3 is positioned.

[0035] Through the positioning design of the rear cover 3, the connecting column 103 corresponds to the connecting through hole 34, which is convenient for the installation of the screw.

[0036] Decorative parts are provided on the outside of the clock cover 2. Specifically, an upper decorative part 4-1 is provided on the upper side of the clock cover 2, and a lower decorative part 4-2 is provided on the lower side of the clock cover 2. Both the upper decorative part 4-1 and the lower decorative part 4-2 are provided with connecting frames 40 extending to the position of the rear cover 3. The connecting frames 40 and the rear cover 3 are connected and fixed by screws. The decorative parts are connected to the rear cover 3 as a whole through the connecting frames 40. There is no need to set up an installation structure on the clock cover 2 to install the decorative parts, which can ensure the integrity and beauty of the appearance of the clock cover 2, and is convenient for the assembly, disassembly and replacement of the decorative parts. Different appearance requirements can be met by replacing the decorative parts.

[0037] The clock cover 2 in this embodiment is circular, with a beautiful appearance. The clock cover 2 can be made of metal or quartz stone.

[0038] The clock structure in this embodiment is a wall clock, and a hanging part 5 is installed on the rear cover. The wall clock is hung on a hanging rod on the wall through the hanging part 5.

[0039] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present utility model, rather than to limit the protection scope of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only partial embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all embodiments. Based on these embodiments, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art can still, without conflict and without creative efforts, combine, add or delete the features in the embodiments of the present utility model according to the circumstances or make other adjustments, so as to obtain different technical solutions that essentially do not deviate from the concept of the present utility model, and these technical solutions also belong to the scope of protection of the present utility model.
