Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of wearable products, and more particularly to a support plate for a flip watch and a flip watch. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, watches with a flip function on the market mainly consist of three parts: a support plate, a strap, and a watch head. The strap, as a connector, is attached to both ends of the support plate, forming a loop structure that can be worn on the user's wrist. The watch head is mounted on the support plate in a flip-up manner, allowing the user to easily flip the watch head to the most suitable angle according to actual needs.

[0003] However, most existing support trays adopt a structure of plastic and stainless steel substrate being die-cast together. Specifically, the upper and lower surfaces of the stainless steel substrate are wrapped with plastic layers, forming a sandwich structure with two layers of plastic and a layer of stainless steel in between. This makes the entire support tray thicker, resulting in a thicker overall device after the meter is combined with the support tray, which in turn affects the user experience. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model embodiment is to provide a support plate for a flip watch and a flip watch, which can solve the above-mentioned problems existing in the prior art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] On the one hand, a support plate for a reversible watch is provided, comprising:

[0007] A rigid substrate includes a first surface and a second surface opposite to each other, the first surface being the surface closer to the wrist when worn, and the second surface being the surface farther away from the wrist when worn;

[0008] An adhesive layer is attached to the rigid substrate, the adhesive layer at least covering the first surface, and the second surface remains exposed.

[0009] Optionally, the support plate includes a hinged end and a fastening end, and the rigid base plate includes a base plate and a rotating mounting platform. The rotating mounting platform is disposed on the base plate near the hinged end and is used to connect with the rotating mounting seat of the meter head.

[0010] The base plate has a thickened protrusion near the rotating mounting platform.

[0011] Optionally, the thickened boss is disposed on the first surface, and the thickened boss is covered by the adhesive layer.

[0012] Optionally, the thickness of the thickened boss is not less than 0.1 mm.

[0013] Optionally, the distance by which the thickened boss extends relative to the rotating mounting platform toward the fastening end is not less than 7mm.

[0014] Optionally, the base plate is provided with a glue-pulling groove located on the side where the first surface is located, and the adhesive material of the coating layer is filled into the glue-pulling groove.

[0015] Optionally, the base plate includes a base plate body, the outer periphery of which is provided with an outer edge, the adhesive layer completely covers the outer edge, and the base plate body is exposed on the side where the second surface is located.

[0016] Optionally, a first adhesive-pulling hole is provided on the outer edge, and the adhesive material of the coating layer is filled into the first adhesive-pulling hole.

[0017] Optionally, the base plate includes a base plate body, which is a frame shape with a hollow hole in the middle. The inner periphery of the base plate body is provided with an inner edge, and the adhesive layer completely covers the inner edge. The base plate body is exposed on the side where the second surface is located.

[0018] Optionally, a second adhesive-pulling hole is provided on the inner edge, and the adhesive material of the coating layer is filled into the second adhesive-pulling hole.

[0019] Optionally, the width of the frame of the base plate body is not less than 5.5mm.

[0020] On the other hand, a flip-up watch is provided, including a watch head and the aforementioned support plate, wherein the watch head is flip-up and mounted on the support plate.

[0021] The beneficial effects of this application are as follows: This utility model provides a support plate for a flip-up watch. By applying a coating layer only to one side of the rigid substrate (i.e., the first surface close to the wrist) while leaving the other side (the second surface away from the wrist) exposed, the overall thickness of the support plate is effectively reduced, making the watch thinner overall, reducing its obtrusiveness, and improving its overall aesthetics. Specifically, the first surface of the support plate that conforms to the wrist is covered with a coating layer. The application of the coating layer increases the contact area with the skin, and since the coating material usually has good softness and skin-friendliness, it can provide better wearing comfort. This is especially important for users who wear watches for long periods of time, effectively reducing discomfort caused by the watch being too hard or rubbing against the skin. Therefore, this solution achieves both a thinner support plate and improved wearing comfort. Attached Figure Description

[0031] To make the technical problems solved by this application, the technical solutions adopted, and the technical effects achieved clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application are further described in detail below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0032] In the description of this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "connected," "linked," and "fixed" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0033] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can include direct contact between the first and second features, or contact between the first and second features through another feature between them. Furthermore, "above," "over," and "on top" of the second feature includes the first feature being directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature includes the first feature being directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0034] Existing support trays mostly adopt a structure of plastic and stainless steel substrate being die-cast together. Specifically, the upper and lower surfaces of the stainless steel substrate are respectively wrapped with plastic layers, forming a sandwich structure with two layers of plastic and a layer of stainless steel in between. This makes the entire support tray thicker, resulting in a thicker overall machine after the meter is combined with the support tray, which in turn affects the user experience.

[0035] To overcome the above technical problems, this embodiment provides a support plate for a flip-up watch, which achieves a thinner support plate while maintaining wearing comfort.

[0036] like Figures 1-6 As shown, the support plate in this embodiment includes:

[0037] The rigid substrate 1 includes a first surface 101 and a second surface 102 opposite to each other, the first surface 101 being the surface close to the wrist when worn, and the second surface 102 being the surface away from the wrist when worn;

[0038] The adhesive layer 2 is attached to the rigid substrate 1, and the adhesive layer 2 covers at least the first surface 101, while the second surface 102 remains exposed.

[0039] Among them, the rigid substrate 1 is the foundation that provides the main strength support inside the support plate. It is preferably made of a material with high rigidity, such as stainless steel, aluminum alloy, titanium alloy, etc., but lighter rigid materials, such as carbon fiber board, fiberglass board, etc. can also be used.

[0040] Based on the use of a rigid substrate 1 to provide sufficient support strength, an adhesive layer 2 is provided to cover the rigid substrate 1. The adhesive layer 2 not only provides a good appearance and feel, but also has the advantages of low cost and light weight. At the same time, the material of the adhesive layer 2 can further optimize the wearing comfort of the watch.

[0041] In summary, based on the support plate provided in this embodiment, by applying the overlay layer 2 only on one side of the rigid substrate 1 (i.e., the first surface 101 close to the wrist) while leaving the other side (the second surface 102 away from the wrist) exposed, the overall thickness of the support plate is effectively reduced, resulting in a thinner overall watch, reducing any abruptness, and improving the overall aesthetics. Specifically, the first surface 101 on the support plate, which conforms to the wrist, is covered by the overlay layer 2. The application of the overlay layer 2 increases the contact area with the skin, and since the overlay material typically has good softness and skin-friendliness, it provides better wearing comfort. This is especially important for users who wear watches for extended periods, effectively reducing discomfort caused by the watch being too stiff or rubbing against the skin. Therefore, this solution achieves both a thinner support plate and improved wearing comfort.

[0042] In one embodiment, the support plate includes a hinged end 3 and a fastening end 4, and the rigid base plate 1 includes a base plate 11 and a rotating mounting platform 12. The rotating mounting platform 12 is disposed on the base plate 11 near the hinged end 3, and the rotating mounting platform 12 is used to connect with the rotating mounting seat of the meter head.

[0043] Among them, reference Figure 5 A thickened boss 13 is provided on the base plate 11 near the rotating mounting platform 12.

[0044] Specifically, in a reversible watch, one end of the watch head is connected to a rotating mounting base, and the other end is equipped with a latch. During assembly, the rotating mounting base is connected to the rotating mounting platform 12 of the support plate (i.e., the location of the hinge end 3). When the latch is engaged with the fastening end 4 of the support plate, the watch head is fixed flat to the support plate. When the latch is unlocked, the watch head can be flipped upright relative to the support plate based on the rotating mounting base. That is, the hinge end 3 is the end where the rotating mounting platform 12 is located, and this end area experiences greater stress during use.

[0045] In this embodiment, the adhesive layer 2 on the second surface 102 side of the support plate is removed, reducing the thickness of the support plate, but also weakening its strength. In this embodiment, a thickened boss 13 is provided on the base plate 11 near the hinge end 3. Since the base plate 11 itself is made of high-strength material, and because the hinge end 3 is the main area connecting the dial indicator and the support plate, and also the part that is subjected to greater stress during use, the thickening of the boss 13 can enhance the structural strength and fatigue resistance of this area, thereby ensuring the reliability and durability of the support plate. This helps to distribute and bear the torque and stress generated during the flipping process of the dial indicator, preventing deformation or damage to the support plate, and also improving the structural stability of the entire support plate during the flipping process.

[0046] It is understood that the thickened boss 13 is an integral structure on the base plate 11, and it is the same high-strength structure as the base plate 11. Therefore, the thickened boss 13 can significantly improve the strength of the support plate in the hinge end 3 attachment area. The adhesive layer 2 is a structure that is secondary injection molded onto the rigid substrate 1. It occupies more space in the area of ​​the thickened boss 13, and the adhesive layer 2 in this area will be thinner after injection molding, achieving the effect of not increasing the overall thickness of the support plate. In other words, this embodiment achieves effective thinning of the support plate while maintaining sufficient strength.

[0047] In one embodiment, the thickened boss 13 is disposed on the first surface 101, and the thickened boss 13 is covered by the adhesive layer 2.

[0048] In this embodiment, the support plate design achieves a perfect balance between appearance flatness, wearing comfort, and structural strength by placing the thickened protrusion 13 on the first surface 101, which can be covered and hidden by the rubber coating layer 2. That is, this design not only meets the mechanical performance requirements during the watch's flipping process but also ensures a good user experience and the overall aesthetics of the watch.

[0049] In one embodiment, the thickness of the thickened boss 13 is not less than 0.1 mm.

[0050] Specifically, the thickness of the existing stainless steel substrate of the support plate can be increased by 0.1 mm to form the thickened boss 13. For example, if the thickness of the stainless steel substrate used in the original support plate of the double-sided adhesive 2 is 0.8 mm, then in this embodiment, the overall thickness of the rigid substrate 1 at the location of the thickened boss 13 can be set to 0.9 mm or more.

[0051] After multiple experiments, it was found that setting the thickness of the thickened boss 13 to be above 0.1mm can ensure that it maintains structural stability and reliability during long-term use and frequent flipping, thus meeting the design performance requirements of the flip watch.

[0052] In one embodiment, such as Figure 6 As shown, the distance L1 from which the thickened boss 13 extends toward the fastening end relative to the rotating mounting platform 12 is not less than 7mm.

[0053] The presence of the thickened boss 13 helps to distribute the torque and stress generated during the rotation of the meter head more evenly onto the support plate. The length of more than 7mm ensures that the thickened boss 13 can effectively bear part of the force, reduce the individual force on the rotating mounting platform 12, and thus improve the fatigue resistance and service life of the entire support plate.

[0054] Preferably, the length L1 of the thickened boss 13 extending from the rotating mounting platform 12 toward the fastening end is set in the range of 7.5 to 10 mm. This ensures sufficient extension length to enhance the connection stability between the base plate 11 and the rotating mounting part and the overall rigidity of the support plate, while avoiding material waste and weight increase due to excessive length. This length range represents an optimized balance between structural strength and material cost.

[0055] In one embodiment, the base plate 11 is provided with a glue-pulling groove 1111 located on the side where the first surface 101 is located, and the adhesive material of the overlay layer 2 is filled into the glue-pulling groove 1111.

[0056] The presence of the adhesive groove 1111 allows the adhesive material of the coating layer 2 to fill it, forming a mechanical locking effect. Specifically, after the adhesive material fills the adhesive groove 1111, a tighter connection structure is formed, effectively preventing the coating layer 2 from falling off or cracking due to external forces during use. This tight connection structure improves the overall durability of the rigid substrate 1 and the coating layer 2, making the product more durable and reliable.

[0057] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 4 The base plate 11 includes a base plate body 111, and an outer edge 113 protrudes from the outer periphery of the base plate body 111. The adhesive layer 2 completely covers the outer edge 113, and the base plate body 111 remains exposed on the side where the second surface 102 is located.

[0058] An outer edge 113 is protruding from the outer periphery of the base plate body 111. After the rubber coating layer 2 is injection molded, the outer edge is embedded in the rubber coating layer 2, so that the base plate 11 and the rubber coating layer 2 form a more reliable bond, effectively preventing the risk of the rubber coating layer 2 falling off or cracking due to external force during use.

[0059] In one embodiment, a first adhesive-pulling hole 1131 is provided on the outer edge 113, and the adhesive material of the overlay layer 2 is filled into the first adhesive-pulling hole 1131.

[0060] Similarly, the presence of the first adhesive hole 1131 allows the adhesive material of the overlay layer 2 to fill it, forming a mechanical locking effect. This tight connection structure improves the overall durability of the rigid substrate 1 and the overlay layer 2, making the product more durable and reliable.

[0061] In one embodiment, the base plate 11 includes a base plate body 111, which is a frame shape with a hollow hole in the middle. The inner periphery of the base plate body 111 is provided with an inner edge 112, and the adhesive layer 2 completely covers the inner edge 112. The base plate body 111 is exposed on the side where the second surface 102 is located.

[0062] Specifically, the base plate body 111 is a frame shape with a hollow hole in the middle. The hollow hole can effectively reduce the weight of the support plate and reduce material consumption. In addition, the hollow hole can also be used to accommodate the back structure after the meter head is recycled, making the overall structure of the meter head and support plate combination thinner.

[0063] An inner edge 112 is protruding on the inner periphery of the base plate body 111. After the rubber coating layer 2 is injection molded, the inner edge is embedded in the rubber coating layer 2, so that the base plate 11 and the rubber coating layer 2 form a more reliable bond, effectively preventing the risk of the rubber coating layer 2 falling off or cracking due to external force during use.

[0064] In one embodiment, a second adhesive-pulling hole 1121 is provided on the inner edge 112, and the adhesive material of the overlay layer 2 is filled into the second adhesive-pulling hole 1121.

[0065] Similarly, the presence of the second adhesive hole 1121 allows the adhesive material of the overlay layer 2 to fill it, forming a mechanical locking effect. This tight connection structure improves the overall durability of the rigid substrate 1 and the overlay layer 2, making the product more durable and reliable.

[0066] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 4 The width L2 of the frame of the base plate body 111 is not less than 5.5mm.

[0067] In this embodiment, the side where the second surface 102 of the base plate body 111 is located is not covered by the adhesive layer 2. Setting the width L2 of the frame of the base plate body 111 to be more than 5.5mm can ensure that it has sufficient bending resistance to ensure its durability and stability.

[0068] On the other hand, a flip-up watch is provided, including a watch head and the aforementioned support plate, wherein the watch head is flip-up and mounted on the support plate.

[0069] Specifically, the flip-up watch in this embodiment also includes a watch strap, with both ends of the strap connected to the two ends of a support plate to form a loop structure that can be worn on the wrist. The watch head is mounted on the support plate via a rotating mounting base, allowing the user to adjust the angle of the watch head as needed, effectively optimizing the user experience and providing richer functionality.

[0070] Based on the support plate of this embodiment, the flip watch of this solution also has the advantages of small thickness and comfortable wearing.
