Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of watch technology, and in particular to a watch component that is easy to wear. Background Technology
[0002] A wristwatch is a precision instrument worn on the wrist to tell time. In earlier times, people used tools such as sundials and hourglasses to tell time, but these tools were inconvenient to carry. With technological advancements, small and portable wristwatches emerged, utilizing principles such as mechanical gear transmission or quartz crystal oscillation for accurate timekeeping. Today, some smartwatches, in addition to basic timekeeping functions, also feature activity tracking, health management, and message reminders. Watches use watch straps because they provide a secure fit, keeping the watch firmly on the wrist and allowing for easy time reading during daily activities. They also have a decorative function; different materials, styles, and colors of straps can meet the aesthetic needs of different consumers, enhancing the overall beauty and style of the watch. Furthermore, watch straps are comfortable, with adjustable lengths to fit different wrist sizes, and their materials are usually designed to ensure comfortable wear without excessive pressure on the wrist.
[0003] Currently, most watch straps on the market use a one-piece design. While this structure ensures the overall aesthetics and stability of the strap to some extent, it has significant drawbacks. When a single part of the strap is damaged, such as by a sharp object, severe wear, or partial breakage, the one-piece design prevents replacement of only the damaged part; the entire strap must be replaced, undoubtedly increasing consumer costs and wasting resources. Furthermore, most watches on the market use clasps for putting on and taking off the watch. Whether it's a butterfly clasp or pin buckle on a metal strap, or a loop on a leather strap, these clasps must be manually operated every time the watch is put on or taken off. For people with less dexterity or those short on time, frequently unfastening and fastening the clasps is not only inconvenient but can also be frustrating, such as difficulty quickly putting on the watch when in a hurry or accurately operating the clasp when fatigued.
[0004] Therefore, those skilled in the art have provided a wearable watch component to address the problems mentioned in the background section. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a wearable watch component that allows for flexible disassembly and adjustment of the watch strap size while being easy to wear.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:
[0007] A wearable watch component includes multiple component modules. Each component module includes a rubber component body. A trapezoidal groove is formed on one side of the rubber component body, and a cross-shaped slot is formed on the other side of the rubber component body. A positioning groove is formed inside the cross-shaped slot, and a pin is fixedly provided on the inner walls of the front and rear sides of the positioning groove.
[0008] Two trapezoidal sliders are slidably arranged inside the trapezoidal groove. A second spring telescopic rod is fixedly arranged between the two trapezoidal sliders. The ends of the two trapezoidal sliders away from the rubber component body are connected to the first spring telescopic rod. A retaining ball is fixedly arranged at one end of each of the two first spring telescopic rods. An insertion hole is opened on the front side of each of the two retaining balls.
[0009] Furthermore, the first spring telescopic rod extends through the trapezoidal groove to the outside of the rubber assembly body, and the locking ball is located outside the rubber assembly body.
[0010] Furthermore, the diameter of the insertion hole is larger than the diameter of the insertion post.
[0011] Furthermore, the second spring telescopic rod is located inside the trapezoidal groove.
[0012] Furthermore, the size of the ball is larger than the size of the center of the cross-shaped slot and smaller than the size of the two sides of the cross-shaped slot.
[0013] Furthermore, the rubber component body is divided into three sections: the middle section is made of natural rubber, and the front and rear sections are made of nitrile rubber.

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0023] Reference Figures 1-4 The present invention provides an embodiment of a wearable watch component, comprising multiple component modules 1. Each component module 1 includes a rubber component body 101. A trapezoidal groove 109 is provided on one side of the rubber component body 101, and a cross-shaped slot 103 is provided on the other side of the rubber component body 101. A positioning groove 104 is provided inside the cross-shaped slot 103, and a post 102 is fixedly provided on the inner walls of the front and rear sides of the positioning groove 104.
[0024] Two trapezoidal sliders 110 are slidably arranged inside the trapezoidal slide groove 109. A second spring telescopic rod 107 is fixedly arranged between the two trapezoidal sliders 110. The ends of the two trapezoidal sliders 110 away from the rubber component body 101 are connected to the first spring telescopic rod 105. A retaining ball 106 is fixedly arranged at one end of each of the two first spring telescopic rods 105. An insertion hole 108 is opened on the front side of each of the two retaining balls 106.
[0025] The first spring telescopic rod 105 extends through the trapezoidal groove 109 to the outside of the rubber component body 101, and the retaining ball 106 is located outside the rubber component body 101. The diameter of the insertion hole 108 is larger than the diameter of the insertion post 102. The second spring telescopic rod 107 is located inside the trapezoidal groove 109. The size of the retaining ball 106 is larger than the size of the center of the cross-shaped retaining groove 103, and smaller than the sizes of the two sides of the cross-shaped retaining groove 103. The rubber component body 101 is divided into three sections: the middle section is made of natural rubber, and the front and rear sections are made of nitrile rubber. The trapezoidal groove 109, the cross-shaped retaining groove 103, and the positioning groove 104 are located inside the nitrile rubber material of the front and rear sections.
[0026] Specifically, the watch band is composed of multiple component modules 1, each with the same structure. However, the outermost component modules 1 at both ends require separate design. For example, they do not have the cross-shaped slot 103 and trapezoidal slide 109, and require hinges to facilitate connection with the ends of the watch. This modular design means that when a part of the watch band is damaged, only the damaged component module 1 needs to be replaced, instead of replacing the entire band, greatly reducing usage costs and resource waste.
[0027] Multiple component modules 1 are connected via pins 102 and sockets 108. Using small clips, such as tweezers, to hold the first spring telescopic rod 105, the two trapezoidal sliders 110 are brought closer together. The retaining balls 106 pass through the center of the cross-shaped retaining groove 103 into the positioning groove 104. After removing the tweezers, the two retaining balls 106 move away from each other under the elastic force of the second spring telescopic rod 107, and the sockets 108 are inserted into the pins 102, achieving pairwise assembly. This design makes assembly and disassembly simple and quick, requiring no complex operations.
[0028] The watch strap length can be adjusted by assembling different numbers of component modules 1. After assembling the corresponding number of component modules 1, there is still a certain amount of stretching space due to the function of the No. 1 spring telescopic rod 105. When the watch can be removed, there is no need to adjust it again, thus making it suitable for a variety of people. It is very convenient to use and easy to wear.
[0029] The rubber component body 101 is divided into three sections: the middle section is made of natural rubber, and the front and rear sections are made of nitrile rubber. The trapezoidal groove 109, the cross-shaped slot 103, and the positioning groove 104 are located within the nitrile rubber of the front and rear sections. This material selection ensures the comfort and durability of the watch strap, making it suitable for long-term wear. The modular design not only improves practicality but also increases the aesthetics and personalization options of the watch strap. Users can choose different colors and materials of component modules 1 to combine according to their preferences and needs, enhancing the overall aesthetics and style of the watch.
[0030] Working principle: such as Figure 1As shown, the watch band is composed of multiple component modules 1, and each component module 1 has the same structure. However, the outermost component modules 1 at both ends need to be designed separately. For example, the cross-shaped slot 103 and the trapezoidal slide 109 are not provided. A hinge is required to facilitate connection with the two ends of the watch.
[0031] When assembling multiple component modules 1, for example, by removing component module A 1 and component module B 1, use small clamps, such as tweezers, to hold the two first spring telescopic rods 105 of component module A 1, causing the two trapezoidal sliders 110 to move closer together, and the two retaining balls 106 to also move closer together. At the same time, the second spring telescopic rod 107 is compressed and shortened. During this process, it is necessary to adjust and rotate the first spring telescopic rod 105, thereby driving the retaining ball 106 to rotate, ensuring that the insertion hole 108 on the retaining ball 106 is parallel and aligned with the insertion post 102 of component module B 1. Then, hold A... Component module 1 passes its locking ball 106 through the center of the cross-shaped locking groove 103 of component module 1 and into the positioning groove 104 of component module 1. After removing the tweezers, under the elastic force of the second spring telescopic rod 107 of component module 1, the two locking balls 106 move away from each other, and their insertion holes 108 are inserted into the insertion post 102 of component module 1. At the same time, the second spring telescopic rod 107 of component module 1 will also be located on both sides of the cross-shaped locking groove 103 of component module 1, thereby realizing the assembly between pairs. Multiple component modules 1 can be assembled in this way to form a watch strap.
[0032] Furthermore, it can be disassembled after assembly. It can be flexibly bent under the action of the ball joint. It can be stretched to a certain extent under the telescopic action of the first spring telescopic rod 105. Moreover, the length of the watch strap can be adjusted by assembling different numbers of component modules 1. After assembling the corresponding number of component modules 1, there is still a certain amount of stretching space due to the action of the first spring telescopic rod 105. When it can be removed after wearing, there is no need to adjust it again, thus adapting to a variety of people. It is very convenient to use and easy to wear.
[0033] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
