Quartz watches are widely popular worldwide for their durability, accuracy, and ease of use.

[0003] In related technologies, quartz watches are prone to damage to their movement when subjected to external impacts due to the fragility of the quartz watch body, resulting in poor shock and drop resistance. Utility Model Content

[0032] This invention proposes a shock-resistant movement structure and watch, aiming to solve the problem of poor shock and drop resistance in quartz watches. Figures 1 to 3 A schematic diagram of the structure of one embodiment of the watch provided by this utility model.

[0033] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 This utility model proposes a shockproof movement 3 structure, including an inner shell 1, a dial 2, and a movement 3. The inner shell 1 has an open receiving cavity, and a flexible buffer pad is provided at the bottom of the receiving cavity. Multiple tension springs 4 are provided on the inner peripheral wall of the inner shell 1. The outer peripheral wall of the dial 2 is connected to the multiple tension springs 4. The dial 2 has an upper surface and a lower surface. A rotatable pointer 21 is provided on the upper surface. The movement 3 is located on the lower surface. The side of the movement 3 facing away from the dial 2 abuts against the flexible buffer pad. The movement 3 is connected to the pointer 21 in a transmission manner.

[0034] This utility model proposes a shock-resistant movement 3 structure and a watch. The shock-resistant movement 3 structure includes an inner case 1, a dial 2, and a movement 3. The inner case 1 has a receiving cavity with a flexible buffer pad at the bottom. The dial 2 is a component for displaying the time. The sidewall of the dial 2 is elastically connected to the inner sidewall of the inner case 1 by a tension spring 4. The movement 3 is installed below the dial 2 and abuts against the flexible buffer pad at the bottom of the receiving cavity. The dial 2 and the movement 3 form a semi-suspended structure within the inner case 1. When the watch is subjected to lateral impact, the tension spring 4 can effectively absorb and disperse the impact force, reducing direct impact on the main structure or component (i.e., the movement 3). In addition, the flexible buffer pad can support the dial 2 and the movement 3. When subjected to vertical impact, the flexible buffer pad can also absorb part of the impact force, thus providing good protection for the movement 3. This design has both lateral and vertical shock resistance capabilities and has good drop and shock resistance performance.

[0035] It should be noted that the flexible buffer pad can be made of silicone or rubber, and this utility model does not limit it. In one embodiment of this utility model, the flexible buffer pad is made of silicone. Using a flexible buffer pad made of silicone to support and install the movement 3 can provide good shock absorption and shock reduction effect. Because the softness and elasticity of silicone can absorb and disperse external impact force, reduce the direct impact on the precision parts of the movement 3. At the same time, the aging resistance and chemical stability of silicone also help protect the movement 3 from the influence of environmental factors and extend the service life of the watch.

[0036] In one embodiment of this utility model, one end of the tension spring 4 is fixed to the inner wall of the receiving cavity, and the other end of the tension spring 4 is provided with a hook (not shown in the figure). Correspondingly, the outer peripheral wall of the dial 2 is provided with a pull ring 23. The tension spring 4 is fixed by hooking the pull ring 23. After each tension spring 4 is installed in place, the tension spring 4 is in a stretched state, thereby providing a certain lateral support force. In this embodiment, a total of six tension springs 4 are configured, and the six tension springs 4 are evenly spaced around the center of the dial 2. The interval between each two adjacent tension springs 4 is 60°. It should be noted that the number of tension springs 4 can also be adjusted adaptively according to the actual application scenario and usage requirements. Furthermore, the tension spring 4 can also be detached by fixing it to the pull ring 23 around the dial 2 through the hook. When it is necessary to repair or replace the movement 3, the entire dial 2 can be removed for easy disassembly and assembly.

[0037] The movement 3 structure proposed in this utility model is a quartz watch movement 3 structure. The working principle of a quartz watch is that the battery 34 provides power to the circuit board 31. After receiving power, the circuit board 31 drives the quartz crystal oscillator 32 to generate a stable oscillation frequency. This frequency is processed by the integrated circuit in the circuit board 31 and converted into a time signal. Then, the circuit board 31 controls the motor 33, which drives the watch hand 21 to move precisely according to the time signal, thereby displaying the current time on the dial 2. A pivot 22 is located at the center of the dial 2. The pivot 22 passes through the dial 2, and part of its structure is exposed from the upper surface of the dial 2. It is used to install the hand 21. The other end of the pivot 22 extends into the movement 3 and is equipped with a transmission wheel 221. The transmission wheel 221 is connected to the output end of the motor 33 in the movement 3 to realize the drive transmission. Furthermore, the output end of the motor 33 is equipped with a speed regulating gear 331. The number of teeth and the design of the teeth of the speed regulating gear 331 should be based on the rotation angle of the hand 21 per second, so as to ensure that the hand 21 moves one small division per second.

[0038] This utility model also proposes a watch, which includes a watch case 7, a shock-resistant movement 3 structure, and a watch strap. The watch case 7 has a mounting cavity with an opening, and the opening is provided with a glass cover plate 75. The shock-resistant movement 3 structure is disposed in the mounting cavity, and the watch strap is connected to the support member 73 of the watch case 7. The specific structure of the shock-resistant movement 3 structure is as described in the above embodiments. Since this watch adopts all the technical solutions of all the above embodiments, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought about by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be described in detail here.

[0039] The watch proposed in this utility model adopts a double-shell design, that is, it has a watch case 7 and an inner case 1. When the watch is dropped, the double shell can achieve double protection and improve its drop resistance. The inner case 1 can move relative to the watch case 7, so as to ensure that when the watch case 7 is impacted, the buffer structure between the watch case 7 and the inner case 1 can absorb part of the impact energy, thereby ensuring the safety of the movement 3 inside the inner case 1.

[0040] To further enhance the watch's shock and drop resistance, the inner wall of the mounting cavity is equipped with a guide rail extending vertically. For details, please refer to [link / reference needed]. Figure 2 Correspondingly, the outer wall of the inner case 1 is provided with a slider 5, which slides in conjunction with the guide rail, thereby allowing the shock-resistant movement 3 structure to move up and down within the case 7. The bottom of the shock-resistant movement 3 structure does not directly contact the inner bottom wall of the case 7, but adopts a floating structure. Specifically, the inner bottom wall of the mounting cavity is provided with multiple first magnetic elements, and the side of the inner case 1 facing the inner bottom wall of the mounting cavity is provided with multiple second magnetic elements 721122. For further details, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 2 and Figure 3 The first magnetic component and the second magnetic component 721122 are like magnets, which generate a repulsive force. The repulsive force makes the shockproof movement 3 structure suspend in the mounting cavity. When the watch is in a weightless state or is subjected to an impact, the repulsive force generated between the first magnetic component and the second magnetic component 721122 can resist the effect of external force on the movement 3, thereby protecting the movement 3.

[0041] To prevent the magnetic fields generated by the first and second magnetic components 721122 from affecting the normal operation of the movement 3 and causing magnetic field interference, the inner shell 1 uses magnetic shielding materials. These materials include high-permeability ferromagnetic materials such as nickel-iron alloys (Mumetal), soft magnetic alloys, amorphous metallic materials, conductive coatings, conductive cloth, conductive rubber, copper foil tape, and novel materials such as graphene. These materials effectively reduce magnetic field interference to sensitive devices like the movement 3 by absorbing or reflecting the magnetic field. Furthermore, the inner upper shell 11 of the inner shell 1 is provided with a snap-fit ​​protrusion 121, and correspondingly, the inner lower shell 12 of the inner shell 1 is provided with a snap-fit ​​groove 111. For further details, please refer to [link / reference needed]. Figure 3The engagement of the snap-fit ​​protrusion 121 and the snap-fit ​​groove 111 can further prevent magnetic leakage from the housing, thereby shielding and isolating the magnetic field and preventing the magnetic field from interfering with the operation of the mechanism 3.

[0042] Since the shock-resistant movement 3 is only fixed to the watch case 7 by a guide rail and two magnetic components, and the shock-resistant movement 3 will wobble significantly due to the lack of restraint when the user is moving, a damping structure is provided on the upper inner wall of the mounting cavity. For details, please refer to further information. Figure 2 The movable end of the damping structure is connected to the inner upper shell 11 of the inner shell 1. It should be noted that the damping structure can be a spring structure or a telescopic rod 6 structure. This utility model does not limit this. In one embodiment of this utility model, the damping structure is a telescopic rod 6. The telescopic rod 6 can play a certain role in fixing and limiting the inner shell 1, thereby preventing its excessive and frequent movement and ensuring its stability.

[0043] The watch case 7 includes a snap-fit ​​upper case 71 and a lower case 72. The upper case 71 has an opening with a glass cover 75 for user access. A crown 74 is also located on one side of the watch case 7. The crown 74 transmits power to the watch movement via a series of gears, thereby moving the hands or adjusting the built-in date and calendar mechanism to set and calibrate the time. The dial 2 also features an electronic display 24 that can display the time in 24-hour format, further enhancing user convenience.

[0044] The above description is merely an exemplary embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. Any equivalent structural transformations made based on the technical concept of the present utility model and the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
