Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of mechanical watch storage, specifically relating to a rotating watch box. Background Technology

[0002] Mechanical watches rely on the oscillation of the balance wheel to store energy, and they are prone to stopping when left idle. Therefore, when not using a mechanical watch, users usually choose a oscillating device that can simulate the oscillation of a human hand to wind the watch and prevent it from stopping. Existing oscillating devices usually have complex strap fixing structures, and the installation and disassembly operations are cumbersome and difficult to adjust flexibly according to needs. In addition, some drive components of the oscillating device are exposed and are easily damaged by external forces. Furthermore, the fixed placement direction of the mechanical watch on the oscillating device limits the user's personalized needs for display angle and makes it difficult to meet the efficient winding orientation requirements of the automatic rotor of different mechanical watches. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a rotating watch case to address the aforementioned problems.

[0004] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a rotating watch case, including a box body, a detachable mounting plate embedded in the box body, and a rotating assembly fixed on the mounting plate. A driving assembly is provided below the mounting plate. Several first support plates of the same height are arranged around the lower edge of the mounting plate. A second support plate that retracts inward is provided on one side below the mounting plate. A control switch and a charging interface for electrically connecting the driving assembly are provided on the outward side of the second support plate. The rotating assembly includes a fixed bracket, an eccentric rotating ring, a connector detachably mounted on the eccentric rotating ring, and a C-shaped fixing member for mounting a mechanical watch fixed on the connector. The length of the connector is equal to the outer diameter of the eccentric rotating ring. The connector has slots at both ends, a protrusion on one side of the middle of the connector, and a deformation buffer groove on the other side of the connector. The deformation buffer groove extends into the interior of the protrusion. The inner middle of the C-shaped fixing member connects to the middle of the protrusion.

[0005] Furthermore, a lid is axially connected to one side of the box body. The lid is the same size as the box body and can fit tightly when closed.

[0006] Furthermore, the fixed bracket includes two support rods and a fixed ring fixed between the upper ends of the two support rods. The inner diameter of the fixed ring is larger than the outer diameter of the eccentric rotating ring, and the fixing points of the fixed bracket and the fixed ring are located at both ends of the outer diameter of the fixed ring.

[0007] Furthermore, the fixing ring is inclined at 10° to 30° relative to the mounting plate, and the upper end of the support rod near the fixing ring is provided with a ramp step adapted to the inclination angle of the fixing ring.

[0008] Furthermore, a driven ring is provided between the fixed ring and the eccentric rotating ring. The inner diameter of the driven ring is larger than the diameter of the eccentric rotating ring, and the outer diameter is smaller than the inner diameter of the fixed ring. First connecting holes are provided on both sides of the driven ring, and second connecting holes are provided on both sides perpendicular to the two first connecting holes. The fixing points of the fixed ring and the support rod are connected to the first connecting holes by corresponding pins.

[0021] The present invention will be further illustrated below with reference to specific examples and accompanying drawings.

[0022] like Figures 1-8 As shown, this utility model describes a rotating watch case, including a case body 1, a mounting plate 2 detachably embedded in the case body 1, and a rotating assembly 3 fixed on the mounting plate 2. A driving assembly 4 is provided below the mounting plate 2. Several first support plates 21 of the same height surround the lower edge of the mounting plate 2. A second support plate 22, which retracts inward, is provided on one side below the mounting plate 2. A control switch 221 electrically connected to the driving assembly 4 and a charging interface 222 are provided on the outward side of the second support plate 22. The rotating assembly 3 includes... The device includes a fixed bracket 31, an eccentric rotating ring 32, a connector 5 detachably mounted on the eccentric rotating ring 32, and a C-shaped fastener 6 fixed on the connector 5 for mounting a mechanical watch. The length of the connector 5 is equal to the outer diameter of the eccentric rotating ring 32. The connector 5 has slots 51 at both ends, a protrusion 52 on one side of the middle part of the connector 5, and a deformation buffer groove 53 on the other side of the connector 5. The deformation buffer groove 53 extends into the interior of the protrusion 52. The middle part of the inner side of the C-shaped fastener 6 is connected to the middle part of the protrusion 52.

[0023] By setting the slots 51 at both ends of the connector 5, the protrusion 52 in the middle, and the deformation buffer groove 53, the two ends of the connector 5 can be bent by squeezing the two ends of the protrusion 52. Therefore, after the mechanical watch is put on the C-shaped fastener 6, the slot 51 at one end of the connector 5 is aligned and locked on the inner wall of the eccentric rotating ring 32. The two ends of the protrusion 52 are squeezed tightly, so that the other end of the connector 5 enters the eccentric rotating ring 32 and is aligned. Then the force applied to the protrusion 52 is released, and the other end of the connector 5 can be locked on the other inner wall of the eccentric rotating ring 32. Finally, the control switch 221 is turned on, and the mounting plate 2 is inserted into the box body 1. The installation direction of the connector 5 on the eccentric rotating ring 32 can be adjusted according to the user's needs. The operation is simple and convenient. This utility model installs the drive component 4 below the mounting plate 2. When the mounting plate 2 is embedded in the box body 1, the drive component 4 can be hidden. By setting several first support plates 21, a space for placing the drive component 4 is formed between the mounting plate 2 and the bottom surface of the box body 1, which protects the drive component 4. The second support plate 22 is relatively recessed inward to avoid the inner wall of the box body 1 from blocking the control switch 221 on the second support plate 22.

[0024] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment of the utility model, a cover 11 is axially connected to one side of the box body 1. The cover 11 is the same size as the box body 1 and can fit tightly in the closed state, thereby forming a fully enclosed protective structure. This effectively prevents external impurities such as dust and moisture from entering the box, providing a stable and clean storage environment for the internal mechanical watch and rotating components 3, and extending the service life of the equipment. In some embodiments, a sound insulation strip is provided between the contact surfaces of the box body 1 and the cover 11, which can effectively block the propagation path of the slight noise generated when the motor in the drive component 4 is running, creating a quiet use environment for the user. The presence of the sound insulation strip can also further enhance the sealing performance of the box body 1 and the cover 11 when closed.

[0025] like Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment of the present invention, the fixed bracket 31 includes two support rods 311 and a fixed ring 312 fixed between the upper ends of the two support rods 311. The inner diameter of the fixed ring 312 is larger than the outer diameter of the eccentric rotating ring 32. The fixing points of the fixed bracket 31 and the fixed ring 312 are located at both ends of the outer diameter of the fixed ring 312. The fixed ring 312 protects and surrounds the eccentric rotating ring 32, forming a stable and non-interfering nested motion space, avoiding collision and friction between the eccentric rotating ring 32 and the inner wall of the box body 1 during rotation.

[0026] like Figures 4-6As shown, in this embodiment of the present invention, the fixing ring 312 is inclined at 10° to 30° relative to the mounting plate 2. The upper end of the support rod 311 near the fixing ring 312 is provided with a ramp step 313 adapted to the inclination angle of the fixing ring 312. By setting the ramp step 313 to match the inclination angle of the fixing ring 312, a stable support surface is provided for the fixing ring 312, so that the fixing ring 312 can remain stable after being installed at an inclination, and avoid shaking or loosening that would cause its inclination angle to change.

[0027] like Figure 4 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, in this embodiment of the present invention, a driven ring 33 is provided between the fixed ring 312 and the eccentric rotating ring 32. The inner diameter of the driven ring 33 is larger than the diameter of the eccentric rotating ring 32, and the outer diameter is smaller than the inner diameter of the fixed ring 312. First connecting holes 331 are provided on both sides of the driven ring 33, and second connecting holes 332 are provided on both sides perpendicular to the two first connecting holes 331. The fixing points of the fixed ring 312 and the support rod 311 are correspondingly connected to the first connecting holes 331 via pins. Third connecting holes 321 are provided on both sides of the eccentric rotating ring 32, and the third connecting holes 321 are connected to the second connecting holes 332 via pins. The fixed ring 312 serves as a stable base, connected to the fixed ring 312 via pins. The first connecting holes 331 on both sides of the driven ring 33 are fixedly connected, providing reliable support for the entire rotating system. The diameter of the driven ring 33 is between that of the fixed ring 312 and the eccentric rotating ring 32. The second connecting holes 332 on both sides of the driven ring 33 are staggered and connected to the third connecting holes 321 of the eccentric rotating ring 32 by a shaft pin. When the drive component 4 drives the eccentric rotating ring 32 to rotate, due to the limiting effect of the fixed ring 312, the driven ring 33 generates a unique asynchronous oscillation under the traction of the eccentric rotating ring 32. This triple ring structure design allows the mechanical watch to obtain a complex motion mode that is closer to the swing of a human hand during rotation, improving winding efficiency. It also creates a layered visual effect through visual dynamic misalignment and trajectory interweaving.

[0028] like Figure 5 and Figure 8 As shown, in this embodiment of the present invention, a semi-circular ring 322 is provided on the side of the eccentric rotating ring 32 near the mounting plate 2, which is perpendicular to the eccentric rotating ring 32. An eccentric rocker arm 323 is axially connected to the middle of the semi-circular ring 322. The lower end of the eccentric rocker arm 323 is connected to the output end of the drive component 4. By pulling the semi-circular ring 322 through the eccentric rocker arm 323, the rotation of the output end of the drive component 4 is converted into eccentric rotational motion, so that the eccentric rotation generates a periodically changing centrifugal force, further simulating the irregular motion of a human hand swinging, and improving the chain loading efficiency.

[0029] The above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are only used to explain the present utility model, not to limit the present utility model. Any changes, substitutions, combinations, simplifications, modifications, etc., made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and principle of the present utility model shall be considered equivalent substitutions and shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
