[0002] With the widespread adoption of smart wearable devices, the design of watches (especially smartwatches) is increasingly focused on convenience and functionality. As a crucial component of a watch, the ease of use and stability of the watch strap's connection structure directly impacts the user experience. Traditional watch straps are typically secured with screws, spring bars, or buckles, which presents the following problems:

[0003] Replacing a watch strap requires the use of tools (such as screwdrivers or thimbles) to remove screws or spring bars, which is cumbersome and easy to lose small parts, making it unsuitable for scenarios where watch straps need to be changed frequently.

[0004] Some quick-release mechanisms use simple buckle designs, which are prone to loosening after long-term use, and may even cause the watch strap to fall off unexpectedly; in addition, most watch straps are rigidly connected to the case, which cannot rotate flexibly, affecting wearing comfort, especially when the wrist is moving, which may cause a feeling of restriction.

[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a new type of quick-release watch strap structure that can achieve quick disassembly and assembly, stable connection, flexible rotation, and anti-static function, so as to improve the practicality of the watch and the user experience.

[0023] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments to aid in understanding its content. Unless otherwise specified, the methods used in this invention are conventional methods; the raw materials and apparatus used, unless otherwise specified, are conventional commercially available products.

[0024] Please see Figure 1-4 A watch case with a quick-release watch strap structure includes a main body 1 and watch strap connecting parts 2 symmetrically arranged on both sides of the main body 1. The watch strap connecting parts 2 have storage grooves 3 on both sides facing the end of the main body 1, and the storage grooves 3 have axially sliding locking pins 4. The main body 1 has extension ears 5 on both sides, and the inner side of the extension ears 5 is fitted with a rotatable rotating seat 6. The rotating seat 6 has a locking groove 7 that matches the end of the locking pin 4. The outer surface of the watch strap connecting parts 2 has a sliding groove 8, and the bottom of the sliding groove 8 has a mounting cavity 9. The mounting cavity 9 has a through hole 10 communicating with the storage groove 3. The through hole 10 has a top rod 11 that connects to the locking pin 4. The end of the top rod 11 is connected to an inverted "T"-shaped slider 12. The top of the slider 12 extends to the outside of the sliding groove 8. The top rod 11 is surrounded by a return spring 13 that connects the inner wall of the mounting cavity 9 and the slider 12.

[0025] In this embodiment: Pulling the two sliders 12 in the groove 8 on the strap connection part 2 moves them relative to each other. At this time, the return spring 13 is compressed, and the top rod 11 pulls the locking pin 4 into the storage groove 3. After placing the strap connection part 2 between the two extension ears 5 on one side of the housing body 1, the sliders 12 are released. Under the elastic force of the return spring 13, one end of the locking pin 4 in the storage groove 3 is locked into the locking groove 7 of the rotating seat 6, realizing the quick connection between the strap connection part 2 and the housing body 1. Since the rotating seat 6 can rotate, the strap connection part 2 and the housing body 1 can rotate.

[0026] As a technical optimization of this utility model, a first magnetic module 14 is embedded in one side of the card slot 7, and a second magnetic module 15 with opposite polarity is embedded in the corresponding end of the card post 4.

[0027] In this embodiment, by setting magnetic suction modules with opposite polarities at the corresponding ends of the card slot 7 and the card post 4, the connection stability between the card post 4 and the rotating seat 6 is enhanced, preventing loosening.

[0028] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the inner wall of the card slot 7 is provided with a hidden groove 16, and a hemispherical limiting block 17 is connected in the hidden groove 16 through a reset spring 13. The surface of the card post 4 is provided with a limiting hole 18 that matches the limiting block 17.

[0029] In this embodiment, the stability and reliability of the connection are further improved by the cooperation between the limiting block 17 and the limiting hole 18.

[0030] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the side of the locking post 4 away from the limiting hole 18 is provided with a guide ridge 19, and both the hidden groove 16 and the locking groove 7 are provided with guide grooves 20 that are adapted to the guide ridge 19.

[0031] In this embodiment, the guide groove 20 guides the guide ridge 19 on the locking post 4, making it easier for the locking post 4 to be inserted into the locking groove 7, and making it easier for the limiting block 17 to be accurately locked into the limiting hole 18, which facilitates installation and disassembly.

[0032] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the outer periphery of the rotating seat 6 is provided with an annular limiting protrusion 21, and the inner wall of the extension ear 5 is provided with an arc-shaped guide groove 22 that cooperates with the limiting protrusion 21.

[0033] In this embodiment: by setting an annular limiting protrusion 21 on the outer periphery of the rotating seat 6, and providing an arc-shaped guide groove 22 on the inner wall of the extension ear 5 that cooperates with the limiting protrusion 21, the rotation of the rotating seat 6 is more stable and smooth, so that the watch strap connection part 2 and the housing body 1 can achieve rotational performance.

[0034] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the strap connection part 2 is made of glass fiber reinforced nylon, and the contact surface between the glass fiber reinforced nylon and the housing body 1 is provided with a conductive plating layer 23. The plating layer forms an electrostatic discharge circuit through the grounding terminal of the housing body 1.

[0035] In this embodiment, the strap connection part 2 is made of glass fiber reinforced nylon and is provided with a conductive plating layer 23. An electrostatic discharge circuit is formed through the grounding terminal of the housing body 1, which increases the anti-static function of the watch and protects the internal electronic components.

[0036] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the shell body 1 and the extension ear 5 are integrally formed by metal casting.

[0037] In this embodiment, the main body 1 and the extension ear 5 are integrally cast metal, which enhances the strength and stability of the overall structure.

[0038] Working principle and disassembly process of this utility model:

[0039] Locate the groove 8 on the outer surface of the strap connection part 2, and pull the two T-shaped sliders 12 in the groove 8 on one strap connection part 2 towards each other; the movement of the sliders 12 drives the push rod 11 connected to the locking post 4, causing the push rod 11 to pull the locking post 4 against the elastic force of the return spring 13 and move it towards the storage groove 3 until the locking post 4 is completely moved into the storage groove 3; at this time, the engagement between the strap connection part 2 and the housing body 1 is released, and the strap connection part 2 can be removed from between the extension ears 5 on both sides of the housing body 1 to complete the disassembly;

[0040] Installation process: Place the strap connector 2 between the two extension ears 5 on one side of the main body 1, aligning the locking post 4 with the slot 7 on the rotating base 6. Simultaneously, align the guide ridge 19 on the locking post 4 with the guide groove 20 within the slot 7. Release the previously pulled slider 12. Under the elastic force of the return spring 13, the return spring 13 pushes the slider 12 back to its original position. Simultaneously, the push rod 11 pushes the locking post 4 towards the slot 7. One end of the locking post 4 gradually inserts into the slot 7 of the rotating base 6. During this process, the guide ridge 19 on the locking post 4 acts as a guide, and the first magnetic module 14 and the second magnetic module with opposite polarity embedded at the corresponding end of the locking post 4... The interaction of blocks 15 makes the insertion process smoother and more accurate. When the locking post 4 is fully inserted into the slot 7, the hemispherical limiting block 17 connected by the return spring 13 in the hidden groove 16 on the inner wall of the slot 7 pops out under the elastic force of the return spring 13 and is embedded in the limiting hole 18 on the surface of the locking post 4, further enhancing the stability of the connection. After installation, since the outer circumference of the rotating seat 6 is provided with an annular limiting protrusion 21 and the inner wall of the extension ear 5 is provided with an arc-shaped guide groove 22 that matches it, the rotating seat 6 can rotate relative to the extension ear 5 within a certain range, so that the strap connection part 2 can rotate flexibly relative to the main body 1 of the housing, meeting the usage requirements.
