The buffer pad abuts against the middle frame.

[0007] The elastic column includes a guide column and an elastic element sleeved on the guide column. The fixed seat is connected to the lower end of the guide column, and the floating seat is slidably connected to the upper end of the guide column. The elastic element is sandwiched between the fixed seat and the floating seat. The floating seat has a first position and a second position. In the first position, the floating seat is away from the fixed seat, and in the second position, the floating seat is close to the fixed seat. The bottom shell in the first alignment hole abuts and adheres to the middle frame in the second alignment hole. The elastic element can elastically deform to make the floating seat tend to return to the first position.

[0008] In one embodiment, the fixing base is provided with a clamping block assembly, the clamping block assembly including a plurality of clamping blocks, the plurality of clamping blocks surrounding the first alignment hole.

[0009] In one embodiment, the support block and the fixing seat are connected by screws.

[0010] In one embodiment, the diameter of the first alignment hole is smaller than the maximum diameter of the material disposed in the first alignment hole, and the first alignment hole is provided with abutting inclined surface in a circumferential ring, the abutting inclined surface extending obliquely away from the axis of the first alignment hole in an upward direction.

[0011] In one embodiment, the support block is configured to be made of rigid plastic or soft rubber.

[0029] This utility model proposes a positioning device for a smart watch casing.

[0030] Please see Figures 1 to 2 In one embodiment of this utility model, the smartwatch housing positioning device includes:

[0031] The fixed base 100 is provided with a first alignment hole 11, and at least one opposite side of the first alignment hole 11 is provided with elastic columns 200 extending in the vertical direction.

[0032] The floating seat 300 is movably connected to the fixed seat 100 via the elastic column 200. The floating seat 300 is provided with a second alignment hole 31 that is opposite to the first alignment hole 11. The hole wall of the second alignment hole 31 is provided with a buffer pad 33. The first alignment hole 11 is used for mounting the bottom shell of the watch case, and the second alignment hole 31 is used for mounting the middle frame of the watch case. The buffer pad 33 abuts against the material in the second alignment hole 31.

[0033] The elastic column 200 includes a guide column 21 and an elastic element sleeved on the guide column 21. The fixed seat 100 is connected to the lower end of the guide column 21, and the floating seat 300 is slidably connected to the upper end of the guide column 21. The elastic element is sandwiched between the fixed seat 100 and the floating seat 300. The floating seat 300 has a first position and a second position. In the first position, the floating seat 300 is away from the fixed seat 100. In the second position, the floating seat 300 is close to the fixed seat 100. The bottom shell in the first alignment hole 11 abuts and adheres to the middle frame in the second alignment hole 31. The elastic element can elastically deform so that the floating seat 300 has a tendency to return to the first position.

[0034] In the technical solution of this utility model, the floating seat 300 can move in the vertical direction to approach or move away from the fixed seat 100. In the first position, the user can place materials in the first alignment hole 11 and the second alignment hole 31. In the second position, the bottom shell and the middle frame of the watch case in the first alignment hole 11 and the second alignment hole 31 abut against each other, so that the bottom shell in the first alignment hole 11 and the middle frame in the second alignment hole 31 are bonded together. The bottom shell in the first alignment hole 11 is supported or clamped by the hole wall of the first alignment hole 11, and the middle frame in the second alignment hole 31 is clamped by the hole wall of the second alignment hole 31. During the movement of the floating block in the vertical direction, the bottom shell and the middle frame of the watch case will not shake. Therefore, when the floating seat 300 is in the second position, the bottom shell and the middle frame of the watch case can be accurately aligned. The smart watch case positioning device in this utility model is small in size and simple in structure. When users need multiple devices to position and bond the watch case in order to speed up the production of watches, the space occupied by placing multiple smart watch case positioning devices is small, allowing the factory to have more space to place other production or testing instruments.

[0035] In one embodiment, the fixing base 100 is provided with a support block 12, and a first alignment hole 11 is formed in the support block 12. The support block 12 and the fixing base 100 are detachably connected. That is, when the first alignment hole 11 is worn or damaged due to accident after long-term use and needs to be replaced, the damage to the first alignment hole 11 can be repaired by replacing the support block 12. In other embodiments, the first alignment hole 11 may be directly formed in the fixing base 100.

[0036] In one embodiment, the diameter of the first alignment hole 11 is smaller than the maximum diameter of the material disposed in the first alignment hole 11. The first alignment hole 11 has a circumferentially circumferentially provided with an abutment slope, which extends obliquely away from the axis of the first alignment hole 11 in an upward direction. That is, the first alignment hole 11 supports the material to prevent it from swaying during the movement of the floating block. Furthermore, when the smart watch case positioning device needs to assemble watch cases of different sizes, the size of the first alignment hole 11 can be adapted to the size of the material to be bonded by changing the support block 12. In other embodiments, the diameter of the first alignment hole 11 can also be equal to the maximum diameter of the material disposed in the first alignment hole 11; that is, the hole wall of the first alignment hole 11 clamps and fixes the material to prevent it from swaying.

[0037] In one embodiment, the support block 12 is made of rigid plastic or soft rubber. Both rigid plastic and soft rubber can support materials. More specifically, the support block 12 is preferably made of soft rubber. When the floating seat 300 moves to the second position and the material in the second alignment hole 31 presses down and abuts against the material in the first alignment hole 11, the soft rubber can buffer the pressure from the floating seat 300, preventing damage to the material in the first alignment hole 11 due to excessive pressure.

[0038] In one embodiment, both the fixed base 100 and the floating base 300 are made of rigid materials. Further, they can be rigid plastic, alloy, or metal.

[0039] In one embodiment, the support block 12 and the fixing base 100 are connected by screws. Tightening the screws allows for a detachable connection between the support block 12 and the fixing base 100. Furthermore, the screws pass through the bottom wall of the first alignment hole 11 to connect with the fixing base 100. This effectively prevents misalignment of the first alignment hole 11 during installation of the support block 12 to the fixing base 100, and ensures that even after prolonged use and screw loosening, the position of the first alignment hole 11 on the support block 12 will not significantly shift. In other embodiments, the screws may pass through an area on the support block 12 other than the first alignment hole 11 to connect the support block 12 and the fixing base 100.

[0040] In one embodiment, the floating seat 300 is detachably connected to the fixed seat 100. That is, the damaged second alignment hole 31 or the second positioning hole that is not the right size for the material to be bonded can be replaced by replacing the floating block. In other embodiments, the floating seat 300 may be provided with a clamping block, the second positioning hole is formed in the clamping block, and the clamping block is detachably connected to the floating seat 300, so that the second alignment hole 31 can be replaced or repaired by replacing the clamping block.

[0041] In one embodiment, the top end of the guide post 21 has an abutment protrusion 211. In a first position, the elastic element abuts the abutment protrusion 211 against the top surface of the floating seat 300. The bottom end of the guide seat has a threaded structure to be screwed onto the fixed seat 100. When the floating seat 300 needs to be replaced, the guide post 21 is detached from the fixed seat 100 by screwing it on, and then the floating seat 300 is detached from the guide post 21, thus completing the disassembly of the floating seat 300. The guide post 21 is then passed through the new floating seat 300 and screwed onto the fixed seat 100 to complete the installation of the new guide post 21. In other embodiments, the guide post 21 may not have an abutment protrusion 211, and the user can detach the floating seat 300 from the guide post 21 and the fixed seat 100 by moving the floating seat 300 upwards.

[0042] In one embodiment, the floating plate is further provided with two finger insertion holes 32, which are respectively located on opposite sides of the second alignment hole 31 and communicate with the second alignment hole 31. In the second position, after the materials in the first alignment hole 11 and the second alignment hole 31 have been bonded, the bonded materials need to be removed from the smartwatch housing positioning device. At this time, the user can insert their finger into the finger insertion hole 32 to remove the bonded materials.

[0043] In one embodiment, the buffer pad 33 includes a first buffer section, a second buffer section, and a third buffer section connected in sequence. The first buffer section is connected to the upper end face of the second alignment hole, the second buffer section covers the hole wall of the second alignment hole, and the second buffer section is connected to the lower end face of the second alignment hole. That is, the buffer pad 33 covers the hole wall of the second alignment hole in a C-shape. Specifically, the first buffer section and the third buffer section are fixedly connected to the floating seat 300 by screws, glue, rivets, or snap-fit ​​structures. This is to prevent the buffer pad 33 from detaching from the second alignment hole 31 due to insufficient friction between the buffer pad 33 and the hole wall of the second alignment hole 31 when the floating seat 300 moves to the second position and the middle frame abuts against the bottom shell. In other embodiments, only the first buffer section and the second buffer section may be provided.

[0044] In one embodiment, the buffer pad 33 is made of a flexible material to prevent the material in the second alignment hole 31 from rubbing against and wearing down the hole wall of the second alignment hole 31. Further, the buffer pad 33 is made of adhesive tape. Further, the buffer pad 33 is made of silicone to allow it to abut and clamp the middle frame in conjunction with the second alignment hole 31. When the diameter of the second alignment hole 31 is larger than the maximum diameter of the middle frame, the buffer pad 33 can fill the gap between the second alignment hole 31 and the middle frame to clamp the middle frame, and the buffer pad 33 can be replaced to accommodate different middle frame sizes.

[0045] 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.
