DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0028] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the utility model.
[0029] Embodiment one: as Figures 2 to 7The shown watch winder comprises a mounting base, a face cover 1 covering the mounting base, a watch pillow frame 2 movably arranged in the mounting base and distributed between the face cover 1 and the mounting base, an upper chain device linked with the watch pillow frame 2, the upper chain device being capable of driving the watch pillow frame 2 to rotate, two sets of rotation seats oppositely arranged at the outer surface of the mounting base, and the face cover 1 being provided with rotating parts corresponding to the rotation seats at two ends and capable of rotating with the rotation seats, the face cover 1 being pivotally adjacent or abutting along the outer surface of the mounting base with the center line of the two sets of rotation seats as the pivot. The "pivotally adjacent or abutting" means that the face cover can be in contact with the inner or outer surface of the mounting base or there can be a gap between the face cover and the inner or outer surface of the mounting base, as long as the rotation of the face cover is not affected. The face cover is transparent, which is convenient for observing the internal condition of the watch winder. When the face cover 1 is opened, the center line of the two sets of rotation seats serves as the rotation axis of the face cover 1, and the rotation axis is arranged at the middle part of the mounting base. Therefore, during the rotation of the face cover 1, the face cover 1 is always pivotally adjacent or abutting along the outer surface of the mounting base, no matter where the face cover is located (closed, fully opened or partially opened), the face cover will not be flipped relative to the mounting base, and the space of the whole watch winder will not change, which not only occupies a small space, but also has good aesthetics. Further, the face cover 1 in the prior art is more likely to fall downward due to the gravity center being above, and the face cover 1 is more close to the mounting base after being fully opened, so it is not easy to have a downward trend and can be stably kept in the opened state.
[0030] The rotation seat comprises a hinge shaft 3 fixed to the outer surface of the mounting base, and the rotating part comprises a hinge hole 4 sleeved on the hinge shaft 3; the end of the hinge shaft 3 away from the mounting base is connected with a plug-in column 5, and the plug-in column 5 is connected with a cap 6. The close cooperation of the hinge shaft 3, the hinge hole 4, the plug-in column 5 and the cap 6 can ensure the stability of the face cover 1 during rotation, and even after frequent opening and closing operations, the connection between the face cover 1 and the rotation seat will not be loose or damaged. The cap 6 is arranged to prevent the two ends of the face cover 1 from sliding out of the hinge shaft 3 and limit the face cover 1, and on the other hand, by selecting appropriate materials and colors of the cap 6, the visual effect of the watch winder can be further improved.
[0031] The mounting base is provided with an arc-shaped limiting groove 7 surrounding the outer side of the hinge shaft 3, and a push column 8 movably arranged in the arc-shaped limiting groove 7, one end of the push column 8 being fixedly connected with the face cover 1. By arranging the arc-shaped limiting groove 7, the rotation angle of the face cover 1 is limited to avoid excessive opening or closing, so that the watch winder can be accurately switched between the opened and closed states.
[0032] The end of the arc-shaped limiting groove 7 is provided with a contact switch 9, and the mounting seat is provided with two groups of symmetrical connecting columns 25. Each group of connecting columns 25 is provided with an open slot 26, and the contact switch 9 is inserted between the two groups of open slots 26. When the face cover 1 is rotated downward until it is closed, the push column 8 connected with the face cover 1 pushes or contacts the contact switch 9, the contact switch 9 closes the circuit, and the upper chain device normally works to drive the watch pillow frame 2 to rotate. When the face cover 1 is rotated upward, that is, the face cover 1 needs to be opened, the push column 8 is separated from the contact switch 9, the contact switch 9 is disconnected, the upper chain device stops working, and the watch pillow frame 2 stops rotating. The two groups of connecting columns 25 are separately arranged, that is, the gap between the two groups of open slots 26 can change slightly, so as to adapt to the size of the contact switch 9, avoid the problem that the contact switch 9 cannot be assembled due to errors, and facilitate the installation and disassembly of the contact switch 9.
[0033] The mounting seat comprises a bottom shell 10 which is hollow and has an open end, a middle ring 11 connected to the open end of the bottom shell 10, a plurality of groups of spacing distributed clamping grooves 12 arranged on the inner wall of the middle ring 11, a group of clamping hooks 13 arranged on the bottom shell 10 corresponding to each group of clamping grooves 12, an inner box 14 arranged on the inner side of the middle ring 11, the end face of the inner box 14 being detachably connected to the bottom shell 10 by screws, a supporting column 15 connected to the lower end of the bottom shell 10, a plurality of groups of spacing distributed supporting feet 16 connected to the outer surface of the supporting column 15, and the supporting feet 16 being arranged in a direction away from the bottom shell 10. The mounting seat is divided into three parts, i.e. the bottom shell 10, the middle ring 11 and the inner box 14, which are detachably assembled, so as to facilitate the installation of the upper chain device and other parts. The bottom of the mounting seat is supported and stabilized by a plurality of groups of supporting feet 16, so as not to be easily tilted or slid, and the weight of the supporting feet 16 is light, that is, the overall weight of the watch winder is light.
[0034] The outer surface of the middle ring 11 is provided with a stop block 17 distributed below the face cover 1, and the lower side of the face cover 1 is provided with a push block 18 corresponding to the stop block 17. The cooperation of the stop block 17 and the push block 18 limits the rotation range of the face cover 1. When the face cover 1 needs to be closed, the face cover 1 cannot continue to rotate due to the block of the push block 18 when the face cover 1 is rotated to the position of contacting the stop block 17, thereby avoiding excessive rotation.
[0035] The motor 19 mechanism comprises a motor 19 and a battery box 20, a through hole 21 is arranged in the middle of the inner box 14, the output shaft of the motor 19 passes through the through hole 21 and is connected with the watch pillow frame 2, the outer surface of the bottom shell 10 is provided with a power supply port 22 corresponding to the battery box 20, and the upper side of the middle ring 11 is provided with a total power switch 23 and a mode button 24. The battery box 20 is charged through the power supply port 22, the total power switch 23 is used for controlling the power supply of the battery box 20, and the color of the light is changed through the mode button 24 to obtain different atmospheres.
[0036] The operation method of the embodiment is as follows:
[0037] The faceplate 1 rotates downwards until the stop block 17 contacts the toggle block 18, which is in the closed state. As the push column 8 contacts the contact switch 9, the motor 19 drives the watch pillow bracket 2 to rotate, automatically winding the watch.
[0038] The faceplate 1 rotates upwards until the push post 8 rotates to the upper end of the arc-shaped limiting groove 7, at which point the faceplate 1 is in the open state. At this time, the faceplate 1 always remains adjacent to or in contact with the mounting base and will not flip relative to the mounting base, thus occupying little space. At the same time, since the push post 8 separates from the contact switch 9, the motor 19 stops rotating, and the watch holder 2 no longer rotates.
[0039] The internal lighting atmosphere of the watch winder can be changed via mode button 24.
[0040] Example 2: Figure 1 As shown, compared with Embodiment 1, only the structure of the watch pillow holder 2 is different. The watch pillow holder 2 in Embodiment 1 has one set of slots, which can hold one watch, while the watch pillow holder 2 in Embodiment 2 has two sets of slots, which can hold two sets of watches.
