Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of watches, and in particular to connectors for smartwatches. Background Technology

[0002] People who wear watches often need to remove them before going to bed, showering, or swimming to prevent water from getting into the dial and damaging the watch. Watch straps are prone to breakage during repeated use, especially chain metal straps and woven straps with various designs, which need to be replaced frequently. In addition, many young people pursue personalized styles and also need to frequently change different styles of watch straps. However, existing watch straps are already fixed in the watch face by spring bars during manufacturing, making it difficult to remove the spring bars to replace the strap. Usually, it is necessary to go to a watch repair shop to disassemble and replace the strap, which is inconvenient and greatly reduces the user experience. Therefore, a smart watch strap connector is proposed. Utility Model Content

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

[0004] A smartwatch with a connector includes a connector body. The connector body has a 7-shaped metal component on each of its two inner top sides. A spring bar is located on one side of each 7-shaped metal component and moves synchronously with it, penetrating the connector body. A first spring is elastically arranged between the 7-shaped metal components and is horizontally mounted inside the connector body. A U-shaped pressing block is located on the front side of the connector body, penetrating the connector body. Both ends of the U-shaped pressing block are located on the sides of the 7-shaped metal components, and both ends slide obliquely against the 7-shaped metal components. Limiting blocks are formed on both sides of the connector body, with the limiting blocks located on one side of the 7-shaped metal components.

[0005] Preferably, a first mounting base is provided between the connector body and the U-shaped pressing block, and the first mounting base is formed inside the connector body, and the first mounting base and the U-shaped pressing block are elastically connected, and a first spring is mounted on the first mounting base.

[0006] Preferably, a second mounting base is provided between the first mounting base and the U-shaped pressing block, and the second mounting base is formed inside the first mounting base, and a second spring is provided inside the second mounting base to elastically connect with the U-shaped pressing block.

[0007] Preferably, the U-shaped pressing block is provided with an inclined surface that contacts the end face of the seven-shaped metal part, and the inclined surface is formed at both ends of the U-shaped pressing block, and the U-shaped pressing block and the inclined surface are in the same direction of movement.

[0008] Preferably, a first through hole is provided between the spring ear and the connector body, and the first through hole is formed on both sides of the connector body, and the spring ear passes through the first through hole.

[0009] Preferably, a second through hole is provided between the connector body and the U-shaped pressing block, and the second through hole is formed on the front side of the connector body, and the U-shaped pressing block passes through the second through hole.

[0010] Preferably, the connector body is further formed with a watch strap connection hole, and the watch strap connection hole penetrates through the connector body.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: When the L-shaped metal part moves inside the connector body and drives the spring bar to pass through the connector body, the L-shaped metal part will abut against the limiting block, thereby limiting the stroke of the L-shaped metal part, so that the length of the spring bar can be inserted into the mounting hole of the corresponding dial. When the U-shaped pressing block is pressed into the connector body, it drives the L-shaped metal part to close to the middle position of the top of the connector body and pulls the spring bar from the outside of the connector body into the inside of the connector body. When the pressing of the U-shaped pressing block is released, the U-shaped pressing block resets, and the L-shaped metal part will elastically move to both sides of the top of the connector body through the first spring and drive the spring bar to pass through the inside of the connector body. Thus, through the cooperation between the U-shaped pressing block and the L-shaped metal part and the first spring between the L-shaped metal parts, the connector body can be quickly snapped onto the side of the smart watch dial through the spring bar.

[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0021] Please see Figure 1-5In this embodiment of the present invention, the smart watch strap connector includes a connector body 1. Seven-shaped metal parts 8 are provided on both sides of the top end of the connector body 1. A spring bar 3, moving synchronously with the seven-shaped metal parts 8, is provided on one side of each seven-shaped metal part 8 and penetrates the connector body 1. A first spring 9 is elastically arranged between the seven-shaped metal parts 8 and is horizontally mounted inside the connector body 1. A U-shaped pressing block 2 is provided on the front side of the connector body 1 and penetrates the connector body 1. Both ends of the U-shaped pressing block 2 are located on the sides of the seven-shaped metal parts 8, and both ends of the U-shaped pressing block 2 are obliquely sliding and fitting with the seven-shaped metal parts 8. Limiting blocks 7 are formed on both sides of the inside of the connector body 1, and the limiting blocks 7 are located on one side of the seven-shaped metal parts 8, thereby causing the seven-shaped metal parts 8 to move and drive within the connector body 1. When the spring bar 3 extends out of the connector body 1, the L-shaped metal piece 8 abuts against the limiting block 7, thereby limiting the travel of the L-shaped metal piece 8. This ensures that the extended length of the spring bar 3 is just enough to be inserted into the mounting hole of the corresponding dial. When the U-shaped pressing block 2 is pressed into the connector body 1, it drives the L-shaped metal piece 8 to close towards the middle position of the top of the connector body 1, and the spring bar 3 extends and retracts from the outside of the connector body 1 into the inside of the connector body 1. When the pressing of the U-shaped pressing block 2 is released, the U-shaped pressing block 2 resets, and the L-shaped metal piece 8 moves elastically to both sides of the top of the connector body 1 through the first spring 9, driving the spring bar 3 to extend out of the connector body 1. Thus, through the cooperation between the U-shaped pressing block 2 and the L-shaped metal piece 8, and the first spring 9 connecting the L-shaped metal pieces 8, the connector body 1 can be quickly snapped onto the side of the smartwatch dial by the spring bar 3.

[0022] A first mounting base 10 is provided between the connector body 1 and the U-shaped pressing block 2, and the first mounting base 10 is formed inside the connector body 1. The first mounting base 10 and the U-shaped pressing block 2 are elastically connected, and a first spring 9 is horizontally mounted on the first mounting base 10.

[0023] A second mounting base 11 is provided between the first mounting base 10 and the U-shaped pressing block 2, and the second mounting base 11 is formed inside the first mounting base 10. A second spring 12 is provided inside the second mounting base 11 and is elastically connected to the U-shaped pressing block 2. The U-shaped pressing block 2 can be elastically moved inside the connector body 1 by the second spring 12. When the pressing of the U-shaped pressing block 2 is released, the second spring 12 elastically resets the U-shaped metal piece 8, which will elastically move to both sides of the top of the connector body 1 by the first spring 9 and drive the spring ear 3 to pass through the inside of the connector body 1.

[0024] The U-shaped pressing block 2 is provided with an inclined surface 13 that contacts the end face of the seven-shaped metal part 8. The inclined surface 13 is formed at both ends of the U-shaped pressing block 2, and the U-shaped pressing block 2 and the inclined surface 13 are in the same direction of movement. As a result, when the U-shaped pressing block 2 is pressed into the connector body 1, the end face of the seven-shaped metal part 8 that contacts the inclined surface 13 will close towards the middle of the U-shaped pressing block 2 along the path of the inclined surface 13.

[0025] A first through hole 4 is provided between the spring ear 3 and the connector body 1, and the first through hole 4 is formed on both sides of the connector body 1, and the spring ear 3 passes through the first through hole 4.

[0026] A second through hole 5 is provided between the connector body 1 and the U-shaped pressing block 2, and the second through hole 5 is formed on the front side of the connector body 1, and the U-shaped pressing block 2 passes through the second through hole 5.

[0027] The connector body 1 is also formed with a watch strap connection hole 6, and the watch strap connection hole 6 penetrates through the connector body 1, so that the watch strap can be connected to the connector body 1 by passing through the watch strap connection hole 6.

[0028] 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.
