[0031] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this application provides a watch protective case 10, which can be fitted onto the watch head 20 to prevent damage to the watch head 20. It is understood that the watch protective case 10 can also be fitted onto other display devices similar to watches.
[0032] The watch case 10 includes a housing 200 and a light-transmitting panel 100. The housing 200 has a front 210 and a back 220 disposed opposite to each other. The front 210 of the housing 200 is provided with a light-transmitting opening 211, which is the side closest to the screen 21 of the watch head 20. The light-transmitting opening 211 is used for display on the screen 21 of the watch head 20. The inner wall of the light-transmitting opening 211 is formed with a snap-fit groove 212. The light-transmitting panel 100 includes a light-transmitting panel body 110 and a mounting frame 120. The light-transmitting panel body 110 is mounted on... The outer wall of the mounting frame 120 engages with the snap-fit groove 212 to fix the light-transmitting panel 100 relative to the housing 200, thereby quickly installing the light-transmitting panel 100 onto the housing 200. Compared with the traditional adhesive pressing method, the light-transmitting panel 100 in this application will not produce adhesive residue, making the light-transmitting panel 100 look beautiful after installation. At the same time, the light-transmitting panel 100 also avoids the appearance of black edges during installation. Furthermore, the quick installation of the light-transmitting panel 100 also reduces the process cost.
[0033] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the outer side wall of the mounting frame 120 is provided with an outwardly protruding buckle 121. The mounting frame 120 can be engaged in the snap-fit groove 212 by the buckle 121, so that the light-transmitting panel 100 is fixed relative to the housing 200, thereby quickly installing the light-transmitting panel 100 onto the housing 200.
[0034] In one embodiment, to further improve the stability of the light-transmitting panel 100 assembly, the outer wall of the mounting frame 120 is provided with a plurality of fasteners 121 at intervals, and the inner wall of the light-transmitting opening 211 is provided with a plurality of snap-fit grooves 212 at intervals, with each fastener 121 corresponding to each snap-fit groove 212.
[0035] Specifically, fasteners 121 are provided on both opposite outer walls of the mounting frame 120, and snap-fit grooves 212 are provided on both opposite inner walls of the light-transmitting opening 211. Each fastener 121 corresponds to a snap-fit groove 212, thereby generating a uniform locking force on both opposite sides of the mounting frame 120, and thus ensuring uniform stress on the light-transmitting panel 100. More specifically, fasteners 121 are provided on both opposite outer walls along the length of the mounting frame 120, and corresponding snap-fit grooves 212 are provided on both opposite inner walls along the length of the light-transmitting opening 211.
[0036] like Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, further, in this embodiment, the inner wall of the light-transmitting opening 211 forms a limiting groove 213, and the outer wall of the mounting frame 120 of the light-transmitting panel 100 is limited within the limiting groove 213. Thus, when the mounting frame 120 of the light-transmitting panel 100 enters the snap-fit groove 212 along the direction from the back side 220 to the front side 210, the limiting groove 213 blocks and limits the mounting frame 120, preventing the light-transmitting panel 100 from continuing to slide along the direction from the back side 220 to the front side 210. This avoids excessive force causing the light-transmitting panel 100 to slide excessively out of the snap-fit groove 212 and fall off. Specifically, the inner wall of the limiting groove 213 is provided with a snap-fit groove 212 that engages with the fastener 121.
[0037] like Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, specifically, the housing 200 has a protruding edge 214 at the light-transmitting opening 211. A stepped limiting groove 213 is formed between the protruding edge 214 and the inner wall of the light-transmitting opening 211. The protruding edge 214 is connected end to end along the inner wall of the light-transmitting opening 211. The hollow structure formed by the circumferential enclosure of the protruding edge 214 is the light-transmitting opening 211. When the mounting frame 120 of the light-transmitting panel 100 is embedded in the limiting groove 213, the annular protruding edge 214 can abut against the mounting frame 120 circumferentially, so that the mounting frame 120 of the light-transmitting panel 100 is subjected to uniform force and is more stable in the limiting groove 213.
[0038] Furthermore, the limiting groove 213 is connected end to end along the inner wall of the light-transmitting opening 211, and the entire outer peripheral wall of the mounting frame 120 is limited within the limiting groove 213, making it difficult or impossible for the light-transmitting panel 100 to be directly removed from the limiting groove 213, thereby ensuring the stability of the assembly of the light-transmitting panel 100.
[0039] In one embodiment, the mounting frame 120 of the light-transmitting panel 100 can be installed into the snap-fit groove 212 along the direction from the back side 220 to the front side 210 of the housing 200. Compared with the external bonding scheme, the internal snap-fit installation structure in this embodiment can further increase the viewing window of the screen 21 of the meter head 20.
[0040] like Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the fastener 121 is disposed in the middle of the outer side wall of the mounting frame 120, and the extending direction of the fastener 121 is the same as the extending direction of the side wall of the mounting frame 120 where the fastener 121 is located. Specifically, the mounting frame 120 is a cuboid with rounded corners at all four corners. In this embodiment, the fastener 121 is disposed on the outer side wall of the mounting frame 120 in the width direction, and the fastener 121 extends along the width direction of the mounting frame 120. It can be understood that in other embodiments, the fastener 121 may also be disposed on the outer side wall of the mounting frame 120 in the length direction, and the fastener 121 may extend along the length direction of the mounting frame 120.
[0041] In one embodiment, at least one end of the fastener 121 is provided with an arc transition surface to facilitate guiding the fastener 121 of the mounting frame 120 into the snap-fit groove 212. Specifically, both ends of the fastener 121 are provided with arc transition surfaces.
[0042] In one embodiment, the fastener 121 is elastic; for example, it can be made of a deformable material such as rubber or plastic. This allows the fastener 121 to deform slightly during the installation of the light-transmitting panel 100, enabling it to be inserted into the snap-fit groove 212. In another embodiment, both the fastener 121 and the mounting frame 120 are elastic; for example, both can be made of a deformable material such as rubber or plastic. This allows both the fastener 121 and the mounting frame 120 to deform slightly during the installation of the light-transmitting panel 100, ensuring the fastener 121 is smoothly snapped into the snap-fit groove 212. In yet another embodiment, the fastener 121 and the mounting frame 120 are integrally formed.
[0043] like Figure 6 As shown, in one embodiment, a first opening 122 is provided in the middle of the mounting frame 120, which facilitates the user's observation of the screen 21 of the meter head 20. A mounting groove 123 is also provided at the top of the mounting frame 120. The mounting groove 123 may be stepped and is arranged around the first opening 122. The light-transmitting panel body 110 is bonded to the mounting groove 123 to achieve a tight installation between the light-transmitting panel body 110 and the mounting frame 120.
[0044] like Figure 2 and Figure 6As shown, in one embodiment, the light-transmitting panel 100 further includes an explosion-proof film 130, which is disposed on the side of the light-transmitting panel body 110 facing the mounting frame 120. Specifically, when the watch head 20 is mounted on the watch protective case 10, the explosion-proof film 130 is disposed between the light-transmitting panel body 110 and the watch head 20, providing better safety and protecting the screen 21 of the light-transmitting panel body 110 and the watch head 20.
[0045] like Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, in one embodiment, the bottom of the mounting frame 120 is provided with a groove 124, which surrounds the first opening 122. The light-transmitting panel 100 also includes a waterproof ring 140, which is disposed within the groove 124. Figure 2 As shown, specifically, when the watch head 20 is installed on the watch case 10, the waterproof ring 140 can abut against the watch head 20 to separate water from the screen 21 of the watch head 20, thereby enhancing the waterproof performance of the watch case 10. Simultaneously, the waterproof ring 140 is installed within the groove 124 of the mounting frame 120 to achieve a tight fit between the waterproof ring 140 and the mounting frame 120. Specifically, the waterproof ring 140 has a circumferentially closed structure and is positioned between the light-transmitting panel 100 and the watch head 20. Furthermore, the waterproof ring 140 is located outside the limiting groove 213 to prevent it from obstructing the mounting frame 120 of the light-transmitting panel 100 when it is engaged in the limiting groove 213.
[0046] like Figure 5 As shown, in one embodiment, the housing 200 includes a first housing 230 and a second housing 240. A front side 210 is located in the first housing 230, and a back side 220 is located in the second housing 240. The first housing 230 and the second housing 240 are detachably connected in the direction from the front side 210 to the back side 220, so that the meter head 20 can be fixedly installed between the first housing 230 and the second housing 240. The first housing 230 is provided with a light-transmitting opening 211. Specifically, the first housing 230 and the second housing 240 are detachably connected and form a mounting cavity 215 for installing the meter head 20 between them. When the first housing 230 and the second housing 240 are disassembled in the direction from the front side 210 to the back side 220, the meter head 20 can be installed between the first housing 230 and the second housing 240. When the first housing 230 and the second housing 240 are snapped together, the meter head 20 is clamped and fixed in the mounting cavity 215 between the first housing 230 and the second housing 240.
[0047] like Figure 1 and Figure 5As shown, the second shell 240 is further provided with a second opening 216. Both the light-transmitting opening 211 and the second opening 216 are connected to the mounting cavity 215. The light-transmitting opening 211 and the second opening 216 are located on opposite sides of the mounting cavity 215. The second opening 216 is used to avoid the protrusion 22 on the back of the meter head 20 (i.e., the side of the meter head 20 away from the screen 21). It can be understood that the shape of the second opening 216 can be set to match the shape of the protrusion 22 on the back of the meter head 20. For example, when the protrusion 22 on the back of the meter head 20 is circular, the second opening 216 can preferably be a circular hole. When there is no protrusion 22 on the back of the meter head 20, the second opening 216 can also be omitted.
[0048] In one embodiment, this application also provides a watch, which includes a watch head 20, a watch strap connected to the watch head 20, and the aforementioned watch protective case 10. The watch protective case 10 can be fitted onto the outer surface of the watch head 20 to protect the watch head 20 from impact damage.
[0049] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and do not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural transformations made based on the contents of this utility model specification and drawings under the utility model concept, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
