[0037] refer to Figure 1 Wearable devices such as watches and smart bracelets are developing towards personalization and diversification, giving rise to a wide variety of wristbands that users can customize to their liking. Watches and smart bracelets, as wristband devices, often have a cool appearance and are small in size. This design style is quite appealing to users accustomed to wearing jewelry. Now, consumers' demands for wristband devices are constantly increasing. How to provide consumers with a better consumption experience—the simplest, most convenient, and fastest way to obtain the best smart technology experience—has become the goal of the smart wristband device industry. As one of the main components of a wristband device, the diversity, convenience, and comfort of the watch strap's materials, forms, and fastening methods are undoubtedly important directions for improving the watch user experience. Here, the watch strap serves both as an environmental element and as a product for which protection is sought.

[0038] Reference Figure 1-5 This application provides a novel watch strap connection structure 10, which not only allows for quick assembly and disassembly but also possesses strong connection stability. The watch strap connection structure 10 includes a male buckle assembly 100, a female buckle assembly 200, and a first Velcro 300. After the male buckle assembly 100 and the female buckle assembly 200 are magnetically fastened, the first Velcro 300 further secures the connection. Specifically, the male buckle assembly 100 includes a first buckle body 110 and a first magnetic attraction portion 120. The first buckle body 110 has a first connecting end 111 and a second connecting end 112 opposite each other along the length of the watch strap 1. The first connecting end 111 connects to the first strap body 20. The female buckle assembly 200 includes a second buckle body 210 and a second magnetic attraction portion 220. The end of the second buckle body 210 along the length of the watch strap 1 has a third connecting end 211. Figure 2-4 The first hook and loop fastener 300 includes a first hook surface layer 310 and a first textured surface layer 320 that is attached to it. The first hook surface layer 310 and the first textured surface layer 320 are respectively connected to the second connecting end 112 and the third connecting end 211. Both the first hook surface layer 310 and the first textured surface layer 320 extend along the length of the watch strap 1. When the first fastener 110 approaches the second fastener 210, the first magnetic attraction part 120 and the second magnetic attraction part 220 are aligned and magnetically attracted. At the same time, the first hook surface layer 310 can adhere to the first textured surface layer 320, realizing the fastening between the male fastener assembly 100 and the female fastener assembly 200.

[0039] Here, to improve the connection stability of the first hook and loop fastener 300, the first hook layer 310 and the first loop layer 320 are disposed on the substrate layer, and then the substrate layer is connected to the second connecting end 112 and the third connecting end 211. Optionally, the substrate layer may include, but is not limited to, leather or woven material.

[0040] Preferably, in conjunction with reference Figure 3-5In one embodiment, one of the fastening surfaces of the first fastener 110 and the second fastener 210 is provided with a positioning hole 230, and the other is provided with a cooperating positioning post 130. When the male fastener assembly 100 and the female fastener assembly 200 are fastened together, the positioning post 130 is aligned and engaged within the positioning hole 230. Here, the fastening surface refers to the surface where the first fastener 110 and the second fastener 210 are in contact with each other. The protruding direction of the positioning post 130 is consistent with the depth direction of the positioning hole 230 and perpendicular to the corresponding fastening surface, thus achieving the fastening alignment function and preventing misalignment of the first fastener 110 and the second fastener 210 on the fastening surface, thereby improving fastening stability. It should be noted that in this application, without considering the fastening stability between the male fastener assembly 100 and the female fastener assembly 200, the presence or absence of the positioning post 130 and the positioning hole 230 is not limited.

[0041] Preferably, refer to Figure 6 At least one of the outer wall surface of the positioning post 130 and the inner sidewall of the positioning hole 230 is provided with a guide surface 131. The guide surface 131 is inclined in the depth direction of the positioning hole 230. When the first buckle body 110 approaches the second buckle body 210, the magnetic attraction between the first magnetic attraction part 120 and the second magnetic attraction part 220 can drive the positioning post 130 and the inner sidewall of the positioning hole 230 to move relative to each other along the guide surface 131 until the male buckle assembly 100 is fully engaged with the female buckle assembly 200. It should be noted that the guide surface 131 plays a guiding and positioning function, making the disassembly and assembly of the entire watch strap connection structure 10 faster and easier. In other embodiments, the male buckle assembly 100 and the female buckle assembly 200 can be aligned and engaged without the guide surface 131. Therefore, in this application, the presence or absence of the guide surface 131 is not limited. Optionally, the guide surface 131 can be an inclined surface or an arc surface.

[0042] Preferably, refer to Figure 5 In one embodiment, there are two positioning posts 130 and two positioning holes 230, which are aligned and engaged one-to-one. The two positioning posts 130 and the two positioning holes 230 are arranged opposite each other along the width direction of the watch strap 1. The two oppositely arranged positioning posts 130 and positioning holes 230 further improve the stability of the entire watch strap connection structure. It should be noted that in this application, the number of positioning posts 130 and positioning holes 230 is not limited, and there can be one, two or more.

[0043] Preferably, refer to Figure 3-5In one embodiment, both the first magnetic attraction part 120 and the second magnetic attraction part 220 are magnetic blocks. The fastening surface of the first buckle body 110 is provided with a first placement groove 140, which is used to accommodate the first magnetic attraction part 120. The side of the second buckle body 210 facing away from the fastening surface is provided with a second placement groove 240, which is used to accommodate the second magnetic attraction part 220, thereby improving the structural compactness of the entire watch strap connection structure 10. Here, due to the positional arrangement of the first placement groove 140 and the second placement groove 240, there is no need to provide a spacer. The first magnetic attraction part 120 and the second magnetic attraction part 220 are separated by part of the structure of the second buckle body 210, and the two do not directly contact each other, reducing contact friction and wear, and providing a protective function. It should be noted that in other embodiments, the openings of the first placement groove 140 and the second placement groove 240 can be opposite each other and both are located on the fastening surface. A spacer between them can also separate and protect the first magnetic attraction part 120 and the second magnetic attraction part 220. Therefore, in this application, the opening configuration of the first placement slot 140 and the second placement slot 240 is not limited. Without considering the structural compactness of the watch strap connection structure 10, the setting of the first placement slot 140 or the second placement slot 240 is not limited.

[0044] Alternatively, in one embodiment (not shown), the first magnetic attraction part 120 is a magnet, the second magnetic attraction part 220 and the second fastener body 210 are integrally formed metal blocks, and the first fastener body 110 is provided with a placement groove for accommodating the first magnetic attraction part 120. Or, in one embodiment, the second magnetic attraction part 220 is a magnet, the first magnetic attraction part 120 and the first fastener body 110 are integrally formed metal blocks, and the second fastener body 210 is provided with a placement groove for accommodating the second magnetic attraction part 220.

[0045] It is understandable that when two magnetic blocks attract each other, the materials of the first buckle 110 and the second buckle 210 are not limited; when a magnetic block attracts metal, at least one of the first buckle 110 and the second buckle 210 must be made of metal.

[0046] Preferably, refer to Figure 5 In one embodiment, the magnetic attraction force between the first magnetic attraction part 120 and the second magnetic attraction part 220 is parallel to the thickness direction of the watch strap 1. The two parts are stacked along the thickness direction of the watch strap 1, and the first Velcro 300 is also attached along the thickness direction of the watch strap 1. The connection forces in both methods are in the same direction, and the sum of these forces greatly enhances the connection stability of the entire watch strap connection structure 10. It should be understood that in other embodiments, the magnetic attraction force between the first magnetic attraction part 120 and the second magnetic attraction part 220 may also be parallel to the length extension direction of the watch strap 1 and other directions.

[0047] Preferably, in one embodiment, the side of the second buckle 210 facing away from the buckling surface is curved along the length of the strap 1 to fit the side of the user's wrist and enhance wearing comfort. It should be noted that the shape of the second buckle 210 is not limited without considering wearing comfort.

[0048] Secondly, in conjunction with references Figure 1-4 This application provides a novel watch strap 1, which includes a first strap body 20, a second strap body 30, and the aforementioned watch strap connecting structure 10. The first strap body 20 and the second strap body 30 are connected through the watch strap connecting structure 10. The first strap body 20 is connected to a first connecting end 111, and the second strap body 30 is connected to a third connecting end 211. A first textured surface layer 320 is disposed on the second strap body 30, that is, the second strap body 30 serves as the substrate layer of the first textured surface layer 320.

[0049] Preferably, in conjunction with reference to Figure 1-4 The watch strap includes a second Velcro 40, which comprises a second hook layer 41 and a second textured layer 42. The second hook layer 41 and the second textured layer 42 are spaced apart on the same side of the first strap body 20 along its length. The first connecting end 111 has a through hole 113 extending along the thickness direction of the watch strap 1. The first strap body 20 folds back through the through hole 113, simultaneously pulling the second hook layer 41 back to fit the second textured layer 42 at different length positions on the first strap body 20, thereby adjusting the overall length of the watch strap 1 to accommodate different wrist sizes.

[0050] This utility model provides a watch strap connection structure 10 and a watch strap 1. The watch strap 1 includes a first strap body 20, a second strap body 30, and the watch strap connection structure 10. The first strap body 20 and the second strap body 30 are connected by the watch strap connection structure 10. The male buckle assembly 100 and the female buckle assembly 200 in the watch strap connection structure 10 are first quickly attached and detached using magnetic attraction, and then further fixedly connected using a first Velcro strap to improve the connection stability of the first strap body 20 and the second strap body 30. That is, the male buckle assembly 100 and the female buckle assembly 200 in the watch strap connection structure 10 of this application are doubly fixedly connected by magnetic attraction and Velcro, and the first strap body 20 and the second strap body 30 in the watch strap 1 are doubly fixedly connected by magnetic attraction and Velcro, greatly improving the connection stability between the watch strap connection structure 10 and the watch strap 1 while satisfying the requirement of quick attachment and detachment. This improves the customer's wearing experience and comfort, and meets the wearing needs of different users.
