[0036] The utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0037] like Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, for ease of description, the vertical direction of the watch case is described in terms of its horizontal arrangement. This embodiment provides a watch with a protective structure, including a watch case 10, a watch movement installed inside the watch case 10, and two watch straps 20. One end of each watch strap 20 is hinged to both sides of the watch case 10. It should be noted that the watch movement is a conventional electronic watch movement, which will not be described in detail here. The two sides of the watch case 10 are also hinged with protective structures via hinges 31. The protective structures include elastic arc plates 21 and are integrally connected to the elastic arc plates 22. The first lug 22 on the side of the arc plate 21 away from its corresponding arc center. In the same protective structure, there are two first lugs 22, which are located on both sides of the elastic arc plate 21. The two first lugs 22 and the elastic arc plate 21 together form a covering space. Each watch strap 20 is partially located in the corresponding covering space. By setting a protective structure, this utility model can cover the gap at the connection between the watch case 10 and the watch strap 20, prevent the skin from being pinched, and will not compress the arm when worn for a long time, reducing damage to the body. The protective effect is relatively good.

[0038] The watch case 10 includes a top cover 23, a first waterproof bezel 24, a middle frame 25, an outer bezel 26, a second waterproof bezel 27, and a back cover 28. The outer bezel 26 is fitted onto the middle frame 25 and is fixedly connected to it. The top of the middle frame 25 is engaged with the top cover 23. Specifically, the top cover 23 has two integrally protruding engagement blocks, and the line connecting the two engagement blocks is located radially on the top cover 23. The middle frame 25 has engagement grooves corresponding to each engagement block. The bottom of the middle frame 25 is fixedly connected to the back cover 28. The specific fixing method between the middle frame 25 and the back cover 28 can be determined according to actual needs, such as adhesive bonding or bolt connection. In this embodiment, the lower end of the middle frame 25 has multiple threaded holes (not shown in the figure). As shown, the watch case back 28 has fifth through holes corresponding to each threaded hole. Each fifth through hole is fitted with a fixing bolt, which passes through the corresponding fifth through hole and is threadedly connected to the corresponding threaded hole. The watch frame 25 is fixed to the watch case back 28 through the threaded holes, fifth through holes, and fixing bolts. The upper end of the watch bezel 26 forms a limiting part 29. The upper end face of the first waterproof bezel 24 fits tightly with the limiting part 29. The upper end face of the watch cover 23 fits tightly with the lower end face of the first waterproof bezel 24. The second waterproof bezel 27 is located between the watch frame 25 and the watch case back 28. The lower end face of the watch frame 25 has a first groove 30 that matches the outer contour of the second waterproof bezel 27. The second waterproof bezel 27 is located in the first groove 30. The waterproof function is achieved by setting the first waterproof bezel 24 and the second waterproof bezel 27.

[0039] The hinge 31 includes a hollow first tube 32 and abutments disposed at both ends of the first tube 32. Each abutment includes a first rod 33 and a second rod 34 that are integrally connected and coaxially arranged. In the same abutment, the outer diameter of the second rod 34 is larger than the outer diameter of the first rod 33. The first rod 33 passes through the first tube 32. An elastic protruding ring 35 is fixedly sleeved on the outer peripheral wall of the first rod 33. The elastic protruding ring 35 is tightly fitted with the inner wall of the first tube 32. By providing the elastic protruding ring 35, the first tube 32 and the abutments are fixedly connected by an interference fit.

[0040] Each of the first lugs 22 has a first through hole 36. The outer bezel 26 of the watch is integrally connected to both sides with fourth lugs 41. There are two fourth lugs 41 on the same side of the outer bezel 26, arranged opposite each other, and the two fourth lugs 41 are located between the two first lugs 22. Each fourth lug 41 has a fourth through hole 42. The middle frame 25 of the watch is integrally connected to both sides with third lugs 39. There are two third lugs 29 on the same side of the middle frame 25, arranged opposite each other, and the two third lugs 39 are located between the two fourth lugs 41. Each third lug 29 has a third through hole. 40. Each watch strap 20 is integrally connected with a second lug 37. There are two second lugs 37 on the same watch strap 20 and they are arranged opposite each other. The two second lugs 37 are located between two third lugs 39. Each second lug 37 is provided with a second through hole 38. The first through holes 36, the second through holes 38, the third through holes 40 and the fourth through holes 43 on the same side of the watch case 10 are located on the same straight line and are inserted through the same first tube 32. The two first lugs 22 are located between the second rods 34. Each second rod 34 abuts against the corresponding first lug 22.

[0041] Each of the first lugs 22 has a second groove 43 for the corresponding second rod 24 to be accommodated. This arrangement makes it easier to hide the second rod 24 and makes the appearance more aesthetically pleasing.

[0042] The end face of the first rod 33 away from the second rod 34 and the outer peripheral surface of the first rod 33 are provided with a chamfered right angle 44, which makes it easier to insert the first rod 33 into the first tube 32.

[0043] The first waterproof bezel 24 is integrally connected to a connecting post 45 that passes through the watch frame 25. In this embodiment, there are two connecting posts 45, and the line connecting the two connecting posts 45 is located in the radial direction of the first waterproof bezel 24. By providing the connecting post 45, the first waterproof bezel 24 is effectively prevented from moving relative to the watch frame 25.

[0044] In the same protective structure, the side surfaces of the two first lugs 22 that are relatively far apart and the side surfaces of the elastic arc plate 21 that are close to their corresponding arc centers are respectively provided with rounded corners 46.

[0045] The present invention has been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the embodiments of the present invention are not limited to the above embodiments. Those skilled in the art can make various modifications to the present invention based on the prior art, and these modifications all fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
