Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of watch strap technology, and in particular to a metal braided watch strap with an integrated support structure. Background Technology

[0002] In the realm of watch accessories, woven metal wire straps are highly favored for their unique texture and wearing comfort. Milanese straps, in particular, utilize stainless steel wires woven through a special process to create a delicate, soft, and lightweight mesh structure, combining aesthetics and a comfortable fit. However, existing woven metal wire straps still have significant drawbacks in practical use. Due to the inherent weight of stainless steel and the softness of the mesh structure, the free ends of the strap are difficult to secure during wear, often drooping, affecting the overall aesthetics and reducing user convenience and comfort. Therefore, it is necessary to propose an improved technical solution to address these issues. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To overcome the shortcomings mentioned above, this utility model aims to provide a technical solution that can solve the above problems.

[0004] A metal braided watch strap with an integrated support structure includes a watch strap body, the watch strap body having support bars on both sides and a braided section connected to the support bars and filling the middle of the watch strap body, both ends of the support bars are provided with pin connection holes, the braided section has multiple warp threads that are horizontally wound on the two support bars and multiple weft threads that are longitudinally intersected on the multiple warp threads, and the multiple weft threads fill the area between the two support bars.

[0005] Preferably, the support strip is made of metal wire material with a thickness of 0.2mm to 1mm, and the warp and weft threads are made of metal wire material with a thickness of 0.01mm to 0.1mm.

[0006] Preferably, the support bar is made of metal wire material with a closed-loop structure, with the middle part of the support bar spirally wound to form a spiral strip structure, and holes at both ends forming pin connection holes.

[0007] Preferably, a bushing is connected between the pin connection holes of the two support bars, and a pressure seam is opened on the bushing, with both ends of the braided part fixed in the pressure seam.

[0008] Preferably, the surface of the main body of the watch strap is coated with a silicone protective layer.

[0009] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0010] By designing the main body of the watch strap with a combination of support bars and braided sections, the strap achieves high rigidity on both sides. When worn, the strap bends, and this method effectively maintains the bent shape, facilitating user control and significantly improving wearing convenience. Furthermore, by winding multiple warp threads around the support bars, a certain constraint is provided between adjacent warp threads during bending, preventing excessive bending and irreversible deformation. In other words, while providing rigidity, the support bars also provide deformation constraint through the weft threads.

[0011] Additional aspects and advantages of this invention will be set forth in part in the description which follows, and in part will be obvious from the description, or may be learned by practice of the invention. Attached Figure Description

[0018] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0019] Please see Figure 1-3In this embodiment of the present invention, a metal braided watch strap with an integrated support structure includes a watch strap body. The watch strap body has support bars 10 on both sides and a braided part 20 connected to the support bars 10 and filling the middle part of the watch strap body. Both ends of the support bars 10 are provided with pin connection holes 11. The braided part 20 has multiple warp threads 21 that are horizontally wound on the two support bars 10 and multiple weft threads 22 that are longitudinally intersected on the multiple warp threads 21. The multiple weft threads 22 fill the area between the two support bars 10. By designing the main body of the watch strap as a combination structure of a support bar 10 and a braided section 20, the support bar 10 is first processed and placed on a braiding machine. The machine then provides metal warp threads 21 and weft threads 22, which are woven onto the support bar 10 to form the watch strap structure. During the weaving process, the lengths of the weft threads 22 and warp threads 21 are controlled so that both ends of the support bar 10 are exposed after weaving, forming pin connection holes 11 for connecting pins. These pins are then used to connect watch dials or magnetic components and other watch-related accessories. This structural design is simple and can be manufactured using a simple weaving process, lowering the manufacturing threshold. The structure of the braided section 20 of the support bar 10 enables the watch strap to have high rigidity on both sides. When worn, the watch strap is bent, and this method can effectively maintain the bent shape after the watch strap is bent, thereby making it easier for the user to control the watch strap when wearing it, and thus greatly improving the convenience of wearing it. In addition, by winding multiple warp threads 21 around the support bar 10, a certain constraint force is provided between adjacent warp threads 21 when bending, so that the watch strap will not bend excessively and cause irreversible deformation. That is, while providing rigidity to the watch strap, the support bar 10 can also provide a certain deformation constraint to the support bar 10 through the weft threads 22.

[0020] Based on the above technical solutions, it is further proposed that the support strip 10 be made of metal wire material with a thickness of 0.2mm to 1mm. This ensures that the support strip 10 has sufficient rigidity to support the watch strap and prevent the free end from sagging, while not excessively increasing the weight and ensuring wearing comfort. The warp and weft threads 21 and 22 are made of metal wire material with a thickness of 0.01mm to 0.1mm. This allows for the weaving of a delicate and soft mesh structure, giving the watch strap good flexibility and breathability. The extremely fine specifications effectively reduce the overall weight, forming a combination of rigidity and flexibility with the support strip 10. This achieves stable support performance while also taking into account the lightweight texture and fit of traditional woven watch straps, and at the same time reducing the wearing burden and structural damage risk caused by the heaviness.

[0021] Please see Figure 2-3Based on the above technical solution, it is further proposed that the support bar 10 be made of metal wire material with a closed-loop structure. The middle part of the support bar 10 is spirally wound to form a spiral strip structure, while the two ends form holes as pin connection holes 11. By introducing a closed-loop spiral support bar 10 structure into the original technical solution, the closed-loop design avoids the risk of breakage due to stress concentration at the ends of the support bar 10, significantly improving structural integrity. The spiral winding in the middle forms a spring-like structure. While maintaining the thickness of the support bar 10 (0.2mm-1mm), combined with the stretching of the interlaced braided part 20 itself, it can give the support bar 10 a certain degree of elastic deformation capability. When the wrist moves, the spiral structure can bend adaptively, providing rigid support to prevent the watch strap from sagging, while avoiding the pressure of traditional rigid structures, achieving a balance between comfort and stability. The closed-loop structure allows the support bar 10 to naturally form holes as pin connection points when the two ends are not spirally wound, reducing additional processing steps.

[0022] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 3 Based on the above technical solution, it is further proposed that a bushing 30 is connected between the pin connection holes 11 of the two support bars 10, and a pressure seam 31 is opened on the bushing 30, with both ends of the braided part 20 fixed in the pressure seam 31; the bushing 30 effectively enhances the lateral connection strength between the support bars 10, making the two support bars 10 form a more stable overall frame, jointly resisting the external force pulling during the use of the watch strap, and facilitating the assembly of the pin; the bushing 30 is formed by bending metal sheet, and naturally forms after bending. In the seam 31 structure, after the end of the braided part 20 enters the seam 31, an EDM head matching the shape of the chuck is inserted into the inner side of the bushing 30. The braided part 20 and the bushing 30 are welded by EDM. The seam 31 structure provides a precise and firm fixing method for the braided part 20. By embedding both ends of the braided part 20 into the seam 31, it can be welded after a certain degree of compression treatment, which can avoid relative displacement between the braided part 20 and the support strip 10 and prevent problems such as loosening and unraveling after long-term use.

[0023] Based on the above technical solution, it is further proposed that the surface of the main body of the watch strap be coated with a silicone protective layer (not shown in the figure); the silicone material has excellent flexibility and skin-friendliness, which can significantly improve the feel when wearing, avoid allergies and friction discomfort caused by direct contact of metal with the skin, and its high wear resistance can effectively resist scratches and collisions in daily use, reducing wear and scratches on the surface of the watch strap.

[0024] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered exemplary and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention.
