Flip-up watch Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of intelligent wearable technology, and in particular to a flip-up watch. Background Technology

[0002] Reversible watches significantly enhance the user experience due to their ability to flip at a certain angle.

[0003] Currently, the flip angle of flip watches cannot be adjusted to the appropriate position according to the user's needs. This means that in situations where the watch is viewed for a long time (especially when the rear-view camera needs to be flipped to the appropriate angle to meet the accurate shooting position), the user needs to twist their wrist to fix the angle, thus limiting the functionality. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a flip watch that can be flipped to the user's desired position, thereby expanding the functionality of the flip watch.

[0005] To achieve this objective, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0012] As an alternative to a flip-up watch, the first axis assembly further includes a movable head sleeved on one end of the first axis, the movable head being inserted into and fixed within one of the connecting ends.

[0013] As an alternative to a flip-up watch, one of the connecting ends is provided with a limiting groove, and the movable head is inserted into the limiting groove.

[0014] As an alternative to a reversible watch, the polygonal structure of the movable head has a limiting groove whose cross-sectional shape matches the movable head.

[0015] As an alternative to a reversible watch, the outer wall of the housing is provided with a limiting protrusion extending axially along the first axis, and the watch holder is provided with a receiving groove, with the limiting protrusion placed in the receiving groove to restrict the rotation of the housing relative to the watch holder.

[0016] As an alternative to a reversible watch, the watch holder is provided with a positioning block, and a mounting groove for mounting the positioning block is formed between two opposite connecting ends. The two ends of the positioning block are respectively provided with a first positioning hole for the first shaft assembly to be inserted and a second positioning hole for the second shaft to be inserted.

[0035] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present invention and not intended to limit it. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, the accompanying drawings show only the parts relevant to the present invention, not the entire structure.

[0036] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected," "linked," and "fixed" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0037] In this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can include direct contact between the first and second features, or contact between the first and second features through another feature between them. Furthermore, "above," "over," and "on top" of the second feature includes the first feature directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature includes the first feature directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0038] In the description of this embodiment, the terms "upper," "lower," "right," etc., refer to the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for ease of description and simplification of operation, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for distinction in description and have no special meaning.

[0039] Please refer to Figures 1-5. This embodiment relates to a flip-up watch, particularly suitable for smartwatches widely used by users today. It not only possesses the basic functions of a watch but also various extended functions as a mobile terminal. The flip-up watch includes a watch holder 1, a main body 2, a first axis assembly 3, and a second axis 4. The main body 2 has two opposing connecting ends 21. The first axis assembly 3 includes a first axis 31 and a damping element 32 sleeved on the first axis 31. One connecting end 21 is hinged to the watch holder 1 via the first axis assembly 3; the other connecting end 21 is hinged to the watch holder 1 via the second axis 4. The damping element 32 is used to fix the main body 2 in a preset position after it is flipped relative to the watch holder 1.

[0040] Specifically, the watch holder 1 can be square or round, and its shape needs to adapt to the structure of the main body 2. The watch holder 1 is ring-shaped, with both ends connected to the watch strap. The watch holder 1 has an inclined surface for limiting the bottom of the main body 2. When the user wears the watch and needs to fasten the flipped main body 2 onto the watch holder 1, part of the bottom of the main body 2 fits into the annular groove formed by the inclined surface. The watch holder 1 supports the main body 2, allowing the main body 2 to flip relative to the watch holder 1. The main body 2 is the core structure of the flip-up watch, undertaking all the user-facing functions. The main body 2 integrates a screen, buttons, a lens, and audio input / output modules, etc. On one side of the main body 2 are two opposing connecting ends 21, located near the top of the screen. These connecting ends 21 are formed by two opposing protrusions created by outwardly extending structures. The two opposing walls of the two connecting ends 21 are used to engage with the first axis assembly 3 and the second axis 4, respectively, forming a pivotable hinge relationship, thereby enabling the main body 2 to flip relative to the watch holder 1.

[0041] In this embodiment, the main body 2 can be flipped relative to the watch holder 1 within an angle range of 0-180°, thereby increasing the flipping angle for user use and expanding adaptability. Furthermore, the rotation function is realized through the first shaft 31 in the first shaft assembly 3, and the first shaft 31 is fixed after the user flips the main body 2 to a preset position by means of the damping member 32 sleeved on the first shaft 31.

[0042] Existing flip watches have a relatively fixed flip angle. When the main body 2 is released from its restraint, it automatically flips to a fixed angle. This embodiment can flip to an appropriate position according to the user's needs. Therefore, in situations where the user needs to pay attention to the watch for a long time, the user does not need to twist their wrist to maintain the angle, thus expanding the functionality of the flip watch. For example, if the user needs to fix the lens on the watch in a specific position, the user only needs to flip and adjust it to the accurate position. The damping element 32 can assist in fixing it, so that the user can maintain the angle without turning their wrist, improving the user experience.

[0043] Please refer to Figures 6 and 7. Optionally, the first shaft assembly 3 includes a housing 33, a damping element 32 is placed inside the housing 33, and the first shaft 31 passes through the housing 33 with both ends of the first shaft 31 exposed outside the housing 33.

[0044] Specifically, the housing 33 has a sleeve structure with openings at both ends. Part of the first shaft 31 is placed inside the housing 33, while both ends of the first shaft 31 are exposed outside the housing 33. One end of the first shaft 31 is inserted into the connecting end 21 and fixed to it, so that the first shaft 31 can rotate when the user flips the main body 2. When the user flips the main body 2 by hand, the resistance of the damping member 32 is insufficient to restrict the first shaft 31. Therefore, the user can feel resistance when flipping the main body 2, but the main body 2 can still be flipped. When the main body 2 rotates to the preset position, the driving force of the hand disappears. At this time, the damping member 32 can hold the first shaft 31, thereby fixing the main body 2 in the preset position.

[0045] The damping element 32 is a conventional standard damping sheet. The specific principle of applying resistance will not be described in this embodiment.

[0046] Optionally, multiple damping elements 32 are arranged sequentially at intervals along the axial direction of the first shaft 31.

[0047] This embodiment employs two damping elements 32, which are arranged sequentially at intervals along the axial direction of the first shaft 31.

[0048] By setting multiple damping elements 32, the user's sense of resistance to rotation can be improved, which also helps to improve the stability of the first shaft 31.

[0049] Optionally, the first shaft assembly 3 further includes a movable head 34 sleeved on one end of the first shaft 31, the movable head 34 being inserted into and fixed within one of the connecting ends 21. Further, one of the connecting ends 21 is provided with a limiting groove 211, and the movable head 34 is inserted into the limiting groove 211.

[0050] Specifically, one end of the first shaft 31 forms a non-circular structure, and the movable head 34 is fitted onto the non-circular structure. The part where the movable head 34 is inserted into the connecting end 21 forms a polygonal structure. The cross-section of the limiting groove 211 is polygonal to adapt to the structure of the movable head 34, so that after the movable head 34 is inserted into the limiting groove 211, the body 2, the movable head 34, and the first shaft 31 maintain synchronous rotation and synchronous stop rotation.

[0051] In this embodiment, the movable head 34 can be integrated with the first shaft 31 or it can be a separate structure connected by an interference fit. The movable head 34 ensures that the connection structure between the first shaft 31 and the connecting end 21 is not too small and affects assembly. Simultaneously, the movable head 34 can also close one end of the housing 33, while the radial dimension of the open end of the housing 33 is smaller than the outer diameter of the damping element 32. Therefore, the damping element 32 can be completely enclosed inside the housing 33, preventing it from axially dislodging within the housing 33 and ensuring stability.

[0052] In this embodiment, the portion of the first shaft 31 exposed at the other end of the housing 33 is also fitted with a gasket 35, which serves to limit the first shaft 31 in the axial direction relative to the housing 33.

[0053] Please refer to Figures 6-8. Optionally, the outer wall of the housing 33 is provided with a limiting protrusion 331 extending axially along the first axis 31, and the watch holder 1 is provided with a receiving groove 11. The limiting protrusion 331 is placed in the receiving groove 11 to restrict the rotation of the housing 33 relative to the watch holder 1.

[0054] Specifically, the limiting protrusion 331 is a protruding ridge on the outer wall of the molded housing 33, and at the same time, it is equipped with a receiving groove 11 on the watch holder 1. Since the watch holder 1 is stationary during the flipping process, the housing 33 is always relatively stationary under the limiting action of the receiving groove 11 on the limiting protrusion 331, while the first shaft 31 in the first shaft assembly 3 rotates relatively during the flipping process.

[0055] In this embodiment, the housing 33, the first shaft 31, the movable head 34, and the damping component 32 can form a modular structure, thereby improving the modularity of the assembly and the assembly efficiency.

[0056] Optionally, the support 1 is provided with a positioning block 12, and a mounting groove 212 for mounting the positioning block 12 is formed between two opposite connecting ends 21. The two ends of the positioning block 12 are respectively provided with a first positioning hole 121 for the first shaft assembly 3 to be inserted and a second positioning hole 122 for the second shaft 4 to be inserted.

[0057] In this embodiment, the two ends of the first shaft assembly 3 and the second shaft 4 are respectively inserted into the positioning block 12. The end of the second shaft 4 inserted into the second positioning hole 122 is non-circular, so that when the body 2 is flipped, the second shaft 4 does not rotate relative to the watch holder 1, but the body 2 rotates relative to the second shaft 4.

[0058] Furthermore, the flip-up watch also includes a plug 5, and a slot 123 is provided on the positioning block 12. The slot 123 is connected to the first positioning hole 121 and the second positioning hole 122 respectively. The plug 5 is inserted into the slot 123, and the first shaft assembly 3 and the second shaft 4 respectively abut against the opposite ends of the plug 5.

[0059] In this embodiment, the slot 123 facilitates the assembly of the first shaft assembly 3 and the second shaft 4. Specifically, the first shaft assembly 3 and the second shaft 4 are first inserted into the first positioning hole 121 and the second positioning hole 122, respectively. The first shaft assembly 3 and the second shaft 4 can be fully inserted into the positioning block 12. At the same time, the positioning block 12 of the watch holder 1 is inserted into the mounting groove 212, and the first shaft assembly 3 and the second shaft 4 are respectively inserted into the corresponding connecting ends 21 using a tool, so that the first shaft assembly 3 and the second shaft 4 maintain a certain gap. Then, the insert 5 is inserted into the slot 123, and the first shaft assembly 3 and the second shaft 4 abut against the opposite ends of the insert 5. The insert 5 is fixed to the positioning block 12 by screwing to close the slot 123.

[0060] In this embodiment, by providing the insert 5 and the slot 123 that cooperates with the insert 5, the assemblability of this flip-up watch can be guaranteed.

[0061] Of course, in other embodiments, the insert 5 can also be fixed to the positioning block 12 by means of snap-fit ​​or adhesive to close the slot 123.

[0062] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can make various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions without departing from the protection scope of this utility model. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively describe all embodiments here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
