Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of watch body technology, and in particular relates to a watch body structure with shock absorption effect. Background Technology

[0002] In traditional watches, the inner case and the watch case are mostly designed to be fixedly connected. The inner case is assembled onto the watch case, and the lugs are usually set on the watch case. The movement of the hand is transmitted to the watch case through the lugs, watch strap and other structures. External shocks are easily transmitted to the inner case through the watch case.

[0003] Among the vibrations of a watch, the axial vibration of the movement has the greatest impact on the mechanical components. As described earlier, the rigid connection structure between the inner case and the watch case makes it easier for axial vibrations to be transmitted to the movement, causing the movement to malfunction under the influence of external vibrations and resulting in abnormal operation of the watch. Utility Model Content

[0004] This invention provides a watch body structure with shock absorption effect, aiming to solve the problem that the rigid connection structure currently used between the inner tube and the watch case makes it easier for axial vibration to be transmitted to the movement, causing the movement to malfunction under the influence of external vibration and resulting in abnormal operation of the watch.

[0006] The watch case and inner chamber assembly are nested on the outside of the inner chamber assembly. The inner chamber assembly includes an inner chamber and a back cover. The back cover is fixed to one end of the inner chamber by bolts. The watch case is provided with lugs for fixing the watch strap. The inner chamber houses a movement assembly, and the end of the movement assembly away from the back cover is the dial.

[0007] The inner case has an outer ring on the side away from the bottom cover, the outer ring abuts against one side of the watch case, and the end face of the watch case that contacts the outer ring is provided with an elastic sealing component; a support unit is provided inside the watch case, and the bottom cover connected to the inner case is connected to the support unit.

[0008] Preferably, the elastic sealing assembly includes an elastic groove and an elastic rubber ring disposed on the end face of the case. The elastic rubber ring is disposed in the elastic groove, the diameter of the outer ring is larger than the diameter of the inner liner, and the outer ring covers the outside of the elastic groove and is in contact with the elastic rubber ring.

[0009] The support unit includes a guide post and a support spring. The support spring is nested on the outside of the guide post. The end face of the watch case away from the elastic sealing component has several sets of shock-absorbing grooves. The guide post is set in the shock-absorbing grooves. The end face of the watch case away from the elastic sealing component also has a bottom cover groove. The bottom cover is embedded in the bottom cover groove. The support unit abuts against the bottom cover embedded in the bottom cover groove. The size of the bottom cover is larger than that of the inner liner.

The terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, or foregoing drawings of this application are used to distinguish different objects, not to describe a particular order.

[0025] In this document, the term "embodiment" means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with an embodiment may be included in at least one embodiment of this application. The appearance of this phrase in various places throughout the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a separate or alternative embodiment mutually exclusive with other embodiments. It will be explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.

[0026] This utility model embodiment provides a surface structure with shock absorption effect, such as... Figures 1-7 As shown, the surface structure with shock absorption effect includes:

[0027] The watch case 100 and the inner chamber assembly 200 are nested on the outside of the inner chamber assembly 200. The inner chamber 210 contains a movement assembly 300. The inner chamber assembly 200 includes the inner chamber 210 and a back cover 220. The back cover 220 is fixed to one end of the inner chamber 210 by bolts. The watch case 100 is provided with lugs 150 for fixing the watch strap.

[0028] The inner case 210 is provided with an outer edge ring 230 on the side away from the bottom cover 220. The outer edge ring 230 abuts against one side of the watch case 100. The end face of the watch case 100 that contacts the outer edge ring 230 is provided with an elastic sealing assembly. The elastic sealing assembly includes an elastic groove 130 and an elastic rubber ring 140 provided on the end face of the watch case 100. The elastic rubber ring 140 is arranged in the elastic groove 130. The diameter of the outer edge ring 230 is larger than the diameter of the inner case 210. The outer edge ring 230 covers the outside of the elastic groove 130 and contacts the elastic rubber ring 140.

[0029] The watch case 100 is provided with a support unit 400, which includes a guide post 410 and a support spring 420. The support spring 420 is nested on the outside of the guide post 410. The watch case 100 has a plurality of shock-absorbing grooves 110 on the end face away from the elastic sealing component. The guide post 410 is disposed in the shock-absorbing grooves 110. The bottom cover 220, which is connected to the inner tube 210, is connected to the support unit 400.

[0030] In this embodiment, the watch case 100 is provided with lugs 150 for fixing the watch strap, and the movement assembly 300 is disposed inside the inner case assembly 200. The inner case assembly 200 and the watch case 100 are mainly elastically connected through the support unit 400 and the elastic sealing assembly.

[0031] The elastic sealing assembly applies a pushing force to the outer ring 230. The elastic rubber ring 140 in the elastic sealing assembly serves as a connector between the outer ring 230 and the case 100. Here, the elastic force of the elastic rubber ring 140 is used to resist external impacts. The function of the support unit 400 is to apply a certain supporting pushing force to the bottom cover 220. Under the influence of external forces, the support spring 420 in the support unit 400 will generate a certain force to keep the elastic rubber ring 140 in a slightly deformed state. When the outer ring 230 is subjected to force, the elastic rubber ring 140 will intensify its deformation state to absorb kinetic energy. By absorbing kinetic energy through deformation, the amplitude of the inner liner assembly 200 is reduced. Similarly, when the bottom cover 220 is subjected to pressure, the support spring 420 will absorb kinetic energy to reduce the amplitude of the inner liner assembly 200.

[0032] When the inner liner 210 is subjected to external impacts on both sides, the support unit 400 and the elastic sealing assembly work together to absorb the impact forces from different directions, thereby reducing the vibration amplitude of the inner liner 210 and reducing the impact of axial vibration on the core assembly 300.

[0033] In addition, the floating design helps the inner liner component 200 to have room to move, avoiding direct rigid contact between the inner liner component 200 and the body when the hand is tightly closed. When the inner liner component 200 is squeezed by the outside, it allows the inner liner component 200 to actively shift and deform, avoiding direct rigid contact between the body and the structure and affecting the body's comfort.

[0034] The support unit 400 and the elastic sealing assembly absorb the vibration effect and reduce the impact of external shocks on the movement assembly 300. The floating design between the inner liner assembly 200 and the case 100 enhances the shock absorption effect of the watch body structure.

[0035] As a preferred embodiment of this example, the end face of the watch case 100 away from the elastic sealing component is also provided with a bottom cover groove 120. The cross-section of the bottom cover groove 120 is adapted to the cross-section of the inner bottom cover 220. The bottom cover 220 is embedded in the bottom cover groove 120. The size of the bottom cover 220 is larger than that of the inner liner 210. The part that extends beyond the inner liner 210 is in contact with the support unit 400.

[0036] In this embodiment, the depth of the bottom cover groove 120 is greater than the thickness of the bottom cover 220. The bottom cover groove 120 restricts the axial movement direction of the bottom cover 220 to prevent the inner case assembly 200 from shifting when it floats inside the watch case 100.

[0037] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the inner liner 210 is provided with a locking screw hole 211 and a locking bolt 212. The locking bolt 212 passes through the bottom cover 220 and is connected to the locking screw hole 211. A bottom cover 240 is provided at the center of the bottom cover 220, and the bottom cover 240 is engaged with the bottom cover 220.

[0038] In this embodiment, the locking screw hole 211 and locking bolt 212 are used to assemble the bottom cover 220 onto the inner case 210. The inner case assembly 200 is held against both ends of the watch case 100 by the limiting effect of the bottom cover 220 and the outer edge ring 230. The bottom cover 220 is fixedly connected to the watch case 100 by the locking screw hole 211 and locking bolt 212 after the inner case 210 passes through the watch case 100. The bottom cover 240 adopts the existing snap-fit ​​structure and is also provided with a sealing ring. During the maintenance of the movement assembly 300, the maintenance operation is generally carried out by opening the bottom cover 240.

[0039] In a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, the movement assembly 300 is provided with a crown 500 extending out of the case 100, and both the inner case 210 and the case 100 are provided with a pivot hole for the crown 500 to pass through; the diameter of the pivot hole on the case 100 is larger than the diameter of the pivot hole on the inner case 210; since the inner case 210 and the case 100 will slide relative to each other, the crown 500 can slide along with the inner case 210.
