Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of smartwatch accessory technology, specifically to a watch strap that is easy to replace and remove quickly. Background Technology
[0002] Smart wearable electronic products are increasingly favored by consumers, with smartwatches receiving particular attention. Compared to other wearable electronic products, watches are not only small and portable, but also maximize the fulfillment of consumers' functional needs, such as calls, voice communication, and video calls. Furthermore, to cater to consumers' fashion preferences, smart wearable electronic products are often equipped with different colored watch straps, allowing consumers to customize their look by changing the straps.
[0003] To facilitate easy replacement of smartwatch straps, straps with quick-release mechanisms have appeared on the market. The existing quick-release mechanism on smartwatch straps mainly consists of a button, two spring bars symmetrically mounted on the button's pressing end, and springs mounted on the spring bars. In current smartwatches, quick-release is achieved by pressing the button, causing the two spring bars to retract into the connector at their respective mounting positions under the action of their springs, thus quickly separating the strap from the watch face. However, because the spring bars in the current quick-release mechanism retract under the action of their respective springs, the inconsistent tension of the springs on the two spring bars can lead to one end retracting while the other remains unretracted during the pressing and retraction process, making strap removal and replacement still somewhat inconvenient. Furthermore, since the two strap sections on current smartwatches are connected by a mushroom-shaped clip that engages with a corresponding slot, the engagement area between the clip and the slot can be too large, making it difficult to engage and hindering quick strap wearing. Summary of the Invention
[0004] (a) Technical problems to be solved
[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a watch strap that is convenient and quick to replace and disassemble, and has good disassembly stability, in light of the current state of the technology.
[0006] (II) Technical Solution
[0007] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: This utility model proposes a convenient and quick watch strap replacement and disassembly method, including a strap body one, a folding connecting plate connected to one end of the strap body one, a locking plate connected to the folding connecting plate, a strap body two connected to the side of the locking plate opposite to the folding connecting plate, a connector head connected to the connection part of the strap body one and the strap body two to the smart watch face respectively, and a linkage quick-release assembly installed on the connector head, the linkage quick-release assembly including spring bars, buttons, connecting springs, linkage blocks, ramps, mounting covers and wedge grooves, wherein there are two spring bars, two connecting springs respectively installed on the corresponding linkage blocks, two connecting springs installed between the two linkage blocks, ramps formed on the linkage blocks, wedge grooves opened on the side wall of the button facing the linkage block, mounting covers installed on the connector head, and buttons installed on the mounting covers; a single-sided locking head is also installed on the folding connecting plate, and a limit locking hole is opened on the locking plate opposite to the single-sided locking head.
[0008] Furthermore, the folding connecting plate has a two-section structure, with one end of the folding connecting plate rotatably connected to the belt body and the other end of the folding connecting plate rotatably connected to the clamping plate.
[0009] By adopting the above technical solution and the rotating connection installation method, the rotation of the folding connecting plate relative to the card plate and the belt body is made more convenient.
[0010] Furthermore, the folding connecting plate has a through hole for the single-sided clip to pass through, and the two folding plates of the folding connecting plate are rotatably connected to each other.
[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the two folding plates of the folding connecting plate are rotated and connected to each other, which can ensure the convenient folding of the folding connecting plate itself.
[0012] Furthermore, the mounting cover is inserted into the connector, and the button slides in conjunction with the mounting cover.
[0013] By adopting the above technical solution and the sliding installation method, the button can be pressed more conveniently relative to the mounting cover.
[0014] Furthermore, one end of the spring ear facing away from the linkage block slides into the side wall of the connector, and the other end of the spring ear is inserted into the linkage block.
[0015] By adopting the above technical solution and connecting the spring ear to the linkage block, it can be ensured that the spring ear moves synchronously with the linkage block.
[0016] Furthermore, the two ends of the connecting spring are respectively inserted into the two linkage blocks, and the two connecting springs are symmetrically distributed vertically between the linkage blocks.
[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the connecting spring is mainly used to realize the automatic reset of the linkage blocks after they come close to each other.
[0018] Furthermore, the slope of the ramp matches the slope of the wedge groove.
[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the inclination of the ramp is matched with the inclination of the wedge groove. When the button is pressed, the two linkage blocks can be brought closer to each other by means of the wedge groove and the ramp, thereby achieving synchronous contraction of the spring ear.
[0020] (III) Beneficial Effects
[0021] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following advantages:
[0022] To address the current issue of quick-release mechanisms on smartwatch bands, which primarily consist of a button, two spring bars symmetrically mounted on the button's press end, and springs on the spring bars, existing smartwatches utilize the button to retract the spring bars into their respective spring positions during quick release. This allows for rapid detachment of the band from the watch face. However, because the spring bars in these quick-release mechanisms retract under the action of their individual springs, inconsistent spring tension can lead to one end retracting while the other remains undone during the pressing and retraction process. This makes band removal and replacement still somewhat inconvenient. Furthermore, the connection between the two band sections in existing smartwatches primarily relies on a mushroom-shaped latch engaging with a corresponding slot, which can easily become stuck. The problem of excessively large contact area causing difficulty in engaging the buckle and buckle hole, hindering the quick wearing of the watch strap, is addressed by installing a linkage quick-release assembly consisting of spring bars, buttons, connecting springs, linkage blocks, ramps, mounting covers, and wedge grooves inside the connector. This assembly allows for the disassembly of strap body one and strap body two. By pressing the button, the wedge grooves move closer to the ramps on the two linkage blocks, enabling the two linkage blocks to synchronously retract the spring bars under the cooperation of the ramps and wedge grooves. This prevents the spring bars from retracting at one end while the other remains undone, making the overall quick disassembly of the watch strap more stable and efficient. Furthermore, the cooperation between the single-sided buckle and the limiting buckle hole ensures reliable engagement between the folding connecting plate and the buckle plate while reducing the contact area between the single-sided buckle and the limiting buckle hole, thus reducing the resistance experienced by the single-sided buckle during engagement and facilitating the quick wearing of the watch strap.

[0031] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.
[0032] like Figures 1-6As shown, this embodiment of a convenient and quick-to-replace watch strap includes a strap body 5. One end of the strap body 5 is connected to a folding connecting plate 2, and a locking plate 4 is connected to the folding connecting plate 2. The side of the locking plate 4 facing away from the folding connecting plate 2 is connected to a strap body 3. Strap body 5 and strap body 3 are respectively connected to a connector 1 at the connection point with the smartwatch face. A linkage quick-release assembly 8 is installed on the connector 1. The linkage quick-release assembly 8 includes spring bars 801, buttons 802, connecting springs 803, linkage blocks 804, inclined platforms 805, mounting covers 806, and wedge grooves 807. There are two spring bars 801, two connecting springs 803, and two linkage blocks 804. The two spring bars 801 are respectively installed on the corresponding linkage blocks 804, and the two connecting springs 803 are installed between the two linkage blocks 804. The platform 805 is formed on the linkage block 804. The wedge groove 807 is opened on the side wall of the button 802 facing the linkage block 804. The mounting cover 806 is installed on the connector 1, and the button 802 is installed on the mounting cover 806. The connecting spring 803 is mainly used to realize the automatic reset of the linkage blocks 804 after they approach each other, so that the slope of the inclined platform 805 matches the slope of the wedge groove 807. When the button 802 is pressed, the wedge groove 807 and the inclined platform 805 can be used to make the two linkage blocks 804 approach each other, thereby realizing the synchronous retraction of the spring ear 801. A single-sided locking head 7 is also installed on the folding connecting plate 2. A limit locking hole 6 is opened on the locking plate 4 opposite to the single-sided locking head 7. The limit locking hole 6 cooperates with the single-sided locking head 7, which can make the locking and fixing between the folding connecting plate 2 and the locking plate 4 faster and more efficient.
[0033] like Figures 1-6 As shown, in this embodiment, the folding connecting plate 2 has a two-section structure. One end of the folding connecting plate 2 is rotatably connected to the belt body 5, and the other end of the folding connecting plate 2 is rotatably connected to the clamping plate 4. The rotatable connection installation method makes the rotation of the folding connecting plate 2 relative to the clamping plate 4 and the belt body 5 more convenient. The folding connecting plate 2 has a through hole for the single-sided clamping head 7 to pass through. The two folding plates of the folding connecting plate 2 are rotatably connected to each other, which can ensure the convenient folding of the folding connecting plate 2 itself. The mounting cover 806 is inserted into the connector 1, and the button 802 is slidably engaged with the mounting cover 806. The slidable engagement installation method makes the pressing of the button 802 relative to the mounting cover 806 more convenient.
[0034] like Figures 1-6As shown, in this embodiment, one end of the spring ear 801 facing away from the linkage block 804 slides into the side wall of the connector 1, and the other end of the spring ear 801 is inserted into the linkage block 804. Inserting the spring ear 801 into the linkage block 804 can ensure that the spring ear 801 moves synchronously with the linkage block 804. The two ends of the connecting spring 803 are respectively inserted into the two linkage blocks 804. The two connecting springs 803 are symmetrically distributed vertically between the linkage blocks 804. The slope of the inclined platform 805 matches the slope of the wedge groove 807.
[0035] The specific implementation process of this embodiment is as follows: In use, firstly, install the spring bar 801 into the corresponding mounting hole on the smartwatch dial, and then fold the folding connecting plate 2 and engage it with the locking plate 4. This allows the smartwatch to be conveniently worn on the user's wrist under the action of the first strap 5 and the second strap 3. When it is necessary to separate the first strap 5 and the second strap 3 from the smartwatch dial during use, simply press the button 802 to move the wedge groove 807 closer to the inclined platform 805 on the two linkage blocks 804, so that the inclined platform 805... 05, in conjunction with the wedge groove 807, causes the two linkage blocks 804 to drive the spring bar 801 to retract synchronously, avoiding the situation where one end retracts while the other end does not when the spring bar 801 retracts. This makes the overall quick disassembly and removal of the watch strap more stable and efficient. At the same time, through the cooperation of the single-sided buckle 7 and the limiting buckle hole 6, while ensuring that the folding connecting plate 2 and the buckle plate 4 are reliably engaged, the contact area between the single-sided buckle 7 and the limiting buckle hole 6 is reduced, so that the single-sided buckle 7 experiences less resistance when engaged, thus facilitating the quick wearing of the watch strap.
[0036] The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to make or use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not to be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
