Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of watch technology, and in particular to a watch strap buckle and a watch. Background Technology

[0002] A watch strap buckle is a structural component used to secure the watch strap. It is attached to the wrist after the strap is wrapped around the wrist, ensuring that the watch can be securely worn on the wrist.

[0003] Most watches currently use a buckle with a pin, which involves inserting a pin into different holes in the strap to adjust the strap length. This is inconvenient for one-handed adjustment. After prolonged use, the pin may slip or come off, causing the strap to come undone and potentially damaging the watch. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this application is to provide a watch strap buckle and a watch to solve the technical problems of inconvenient adjustment of plug-type watch strap buckles and easy unfastening of the watch strap leading to damage from drops.

[0005] In a first aspect, this application provides a watch strap buckle, including a first buckle and a second buckle, the first buckle and the second buckle being used to connect the two ends of the watch strap respectively, the first buckle having a first magnet inside, the second buckle having a second magnet inside, the second magnet having the opposite magnetic properties to the first magnet;

[0006] The first fastener has a first groove on the side facing the second fastener, and a second groove is provided inside the first groove; the second fastener has a first protrusion on the side facing the first fastener, and a second protrusion is provided on the first protrusion.

[0007] The first magnet and the second magnet are magnetically attracted to each other, the first protrusion is embedded in the first groove, and the second protrusion is embedded in the second groove, so that the first fastener and the second fastener are connected.

[0008] Optionally, the first fastener has a receiving cavity that communicates with the side of the first fastener, and the first magnet is assembled in the receiving cavity.

[0009] Optionally, the receiving cavity corresponds to the position of the first groove.

[0010] Optionally, the second fastener includes a first plate and a second plate, the first plate and the second plate are spaced apart in a first direction, and the first plate and the second plate are respectively connected on both sides in a second direction to form a limiting channel that extends through the second fastener in a third direction.

[0011] The first protrusion is located on the side of the first plate facing the first fastener.

[0012] Optionally, the first plate body has a mounting groove on the side opposite to the first fastener, and the second magnet is assembled in the mounting groove.

[0013] Optionally, the mounting groove corresponds to the position of the first protrusion.

[0014] Optionally, the second plate is provided with a bayonet that communicates with the limiting channel;

[0015] The watch strap buckle includes a snap-on structure, which is flip-open and disposed within the latch. The snap-on structure is used to apply force to the watch strap to secure it within the limiting channel.

[0016] Optionally, the watch strap buckle further includes a rotating shaft, the second plate is provided with first mounting holes on both sides in the second direction, the buckle structure is provided with second mounting holes, and the rotating shaft passes through the first mounting holes and the second mounting holes so that the buckle structure can be flipped and installed in the buckle opening.

[0017] Optionally, the second protrusion is located at the edge of the first protrusion.

[0018] Secondly, this application also provides a watch, which includes a watch strap and a watch strap buckle, wherein the first buckle and the second buckle are respectively connected to the two ends of the watch strap.

[0019] This application provides a watch strap buckle, which has the following advantages:

[0020] The watch strap buckle of this application includes a first buckle and a second buckle, which are respectively connected to both ends of the watch strap. When wearing the watch, bringing the first buckle close to the second buckle causes the first and second buckles to automatically move closer together due to the opposite magnetic properties of the first and second magnets. The first and second magnets magnetically engage, causing the first protrusion to embed into the first groove and the second protrusion into the second groove, thus connecting the first and second buckles and completing the strap connection. After the watch is worn, the first and second buckles form a mechanical lock. Due to the dual limiting effect of the first protrusion and the first groove, and the second protrusion and the second groove, the first and second buckles are not easily loosened, preventing the watch from being damaged by a fall. This application uses a magnetic attraction connection, combined with the mechanical locking design of the first groove and the first protrusion, and the second protrusion and the second groove, making the adjustment method more flexible and convenient. It eliminates the need to find specific holes, allowing for quick adjustment of the strap length and meeting the user's needs for comfortable watch wearing. Attached Figure Description

[0030] The specific embodiments of this application will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate this application, but are not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0031] In the description of this application, it should be noted that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "inner", "outer", etc. used in this application to indicate the orientation or positional relationship are based on the positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the device and element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this application.

[0032] In the description of this application, it should be understood that the terms "first," "second," etc., are used to describe various types of information, but these terms are not limited to them and are only used to distinguish information of the same type from one another. For example, without departing from the scope of this application, "first" information may also be referred to as "second" information, and similarly, "second" information may also be referred to as "first" information.

[0033] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, this application embodiment provides a watch strap buckle, including a first buckle 10 and a second buckle 20. The first buckle 10 and the second buckle 20 are used to connect the two ends of the watch strap respectively. The first buckle 10 is provided with a first magnet 30, and the second buckle 20 is provided with a second magnet 40. The second magnet 40 has the opposite magnetic properties to the first magnet 30. The side of the first buckle 10 facing the second buckle 20 is provided with a first groove 11, and the first groove 11 is provided with a second groove 12. The side of the second buckle 20 facing the first buckle 10 is provided with a first protrusion 21, and the first protrusion 21 is provided with a second protrusion 22. The first magnet 30 and the second magnet 40 are magnetically attracted to each other, the first protrusion 21 is embedded in the first groove 11, and the second protrusion 22 is embedded in the second groove 12, so that the first buckle 10 and the second buckle 20 are connected.

[0034] In this embodiment, the first magnet 30 and the second magnet 40 are circular, square, or triangular, etc., and their shapes can be the same or different. Their area sizes can be the same or different. There are no specific limitations on the shape and size of the first magnet 30 and the second magnet 40.

[0035] For example, the first magnet 30 and the second magnet 40 are both square magnetic blocks of the same size. When the first magnet 30 and the second magnet 40 are magnetic blocks of the same shape and size, there is a stronger magnetic attraction between the magnetic blocks.

[0036] Based on the above technical solution, when wearing the watch, the first buckle 10 is brought close to the second buckle 20. Since the first magnet 30 and the second magnet 40 have opposite magnetic properties, they have a magnetic attraction to each other. The first buckle 10 and the second buckle 20 automatically move closer together, and the first magnet 30 and the second magnet 40 magnetically engage. The first protrusion 21 is embedded in the first groove 11, and the second protrusion 22 is embedded in the second groove 12, so that the first buckle 10 and the second buckle 20 are connected, thereby completing the connection of the watch strap. The watch is stably worn on the wrist. The first buckle 10 and the second buckle 20 form a mechanical lock. Due to the double limiting effect of the first protrusion 21 and the first groove 11 and the second protrusion 22 and the second groove 12, the first buckle 10 and the second buckle 20 are not easy to loosen, avoiding the watch from being broken due to the watch strap coming undone.

[0037] When adjusting the strap length, overcome the magnetic attraction between the first magnet 30 and the second magnet 40, separate the first buckle 10 and the second buckle 20, then adjust the length of the overlapping part of the strap as needed, and then bring the first buckle 10 and the second buckle 20 closer together so that the first magnet 30 and the second magnet 40 magnetically engage. The first protrusion 21 is embedded in the first groove 11 and the second protrusion 22 is embedded in the second groove 12, thus completing the adjustment of the strap length. This adjustment method is more flexible and convenient, without the need to find specific holes, and can quickly achieve strap length adjustment to meet the needs of different users for the comfort of wearing the watch.

[0038] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the first fastener 10 has a receiving cavity 13 that communicates with the side of the first fastener 10, and the first magnet 30 is assembled in the receiving cavity 13.

[0039] Specifically, a receiving cavity 13 is provided inside the first fastener 10 to house the first magnet 30. This utilizes the internal space of the first fastener 10, avoiding increasing its volume and making the watch more comfortable to wear. On the other hand, the built-in first magnet 30 prevents it from being exposed to the external environment, thus preventing damage to the first magnet 30 caused by external forces such as collisions and scratches.

[0040] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, the position of the receiving cavity 13 corresponds to the position of the first groove 11. Since the first magnet 30 is assembled in the receiving cavity 13, the position of the first magnet 30 corresponds to the position of the first groove 11. The magnetic attraction force generated by the first magnet 30 acts at the connection between the first protrusion 21 and the first groove 11, which strengthens the embedding effect of the first protrusion 21 and the first groove 11 and improves the connection stability between the first fastener 10 and the second fastener 20.

[0041] In some embodiments, the first magnet 30 is integrally formed inside the first fastener 10.

[0042] In some embodiments, such as Figure 6 As shown, the second fastener 20 includes a first plate 23 and a second plate 24. The first plate 23 and the second plate 24 are spaced apart in the first direction X. The first plate 23 and the second plate 24 are connected on both sides in the second direction Y to form a limiting channel 25 that extends through the second fastener 20 in the third direction Z. The first protrusion 21 is provided on the side of the first plate 23 facing the first fastener 10.

[0043] Specifically, the watch strap buckle has a first direction X, a second direction Y, and a third direction Z. In the first direction X, the first plate 23 and the second plate 24 are arranged vertically at intervals; in the second direction Y, the first plate 23 and the second plate 24 are connected on the left and right sides respectively, forming a limiting channel 25 between the first plate 23 and the second plate 24. The limiting channel 25 extends through the second buckle 20 along the third direction Z. This limiting channel 25 is used to thread the watch strap and adjust the length of the watch strap.

[0044] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, the first plate 23 has a mounting groove 29 on the side opposite to the first fastener 10, and the second magnet 40 is assembled in the mounting groove 29.

[0045] Specifically, the second magnet 40 is assembled on the side of the first plate 23 away from the first fastener 10. The first plate 23 isolates the second magnet 40 from the first magnet 30, preventing the second magnet 40 from directly adsorbing and contacting the first magnet 30, and preventing the second magnet 40 from falling out of the mounting groove 29 during use.

[0046] In some embodiments, the second magnet 40 is assembled into the mounting slot 29 by means of interference fit, adhesive bonding, etc., and no specific limitation is made here.

[0047] In some embodiments, the second magnet 40 does not protrude from the opening of the mounting groove 29, that is, the second magnet 40 is completely contained within the mounting groove 29, so as to avoid the second magnet 40 protruding from the mounting groove 29 and causing the side of the first plate 23 away from the first fastener 10 to be uneven, thereby affecting the passability of the watch strap.

[0048] In some embodiments, the position of the mounting groove 29 corresponds to the position of the first protrusion 21. Since the second magnet 40 is assembled in the mounting groove 29, the position of the second magnet 40 corresponds to the position of the first protrusion 21. The magnetic attraction force generated by the second magnet 40 acts at the connection between the first protrusion 21 and the first groove 11, further strengthening the embedding effect of the first protrusion 21 and the first groove 11, and improving the connection stability between the first fastener 10 and the second fastener 20.

[0049] In some embodiments, the second magnet 40 is integrally formed inside the second fastener 20.

[0050] In some embodiments, such as Figures 2 to 4 as well as Figure 6 As shown, the second plate 24 is provided with a bayonet 26 communicating with the limiting channel 25; the watch strap buckle includes a buckle structure 50, which is flip-open and disposed in the bayonet 26. The buckle structure 50 is used to apply force to the watch strap to fasten the watch strap in the limiting channel 25.

[0051] Specifically, when wearing or removing the watch, the strap can be loosened or tightened by flipping the clasp structure 50 at the latch 26 position. After the strap passes through the limiting channel 25, flipping the clasp structure 50 applies force to the strap, securing it within the limiting channel 25. This tightening method prevents the strap from slipping or loosening, ensuring the stability of the watch when worn.

[0052] In some embodiments, such as Figure 6 As shown, the watch strap buckle also includes a rotating shaft 60. The second plate 24 is provided with first mounting holes 27 on both sides of the second direction Y. The buckle structure 50 is provided with a second mounting hole 52. The rotating shaft 60 passes through the first mounting hole 27 and the second mounting hole 52 so that the buckle structure 50 can be flipped and installed in the buckle 26.

[0053] Specifically, first mounting holes 27 are provided on both sides of the second plate 24 in the second direction Y, and second mounting holes 52 are provided on the buckle structure 50 accordingly. The second mounting holes 52 pass through the second plate 24 in the second direction Y. The first mounting holes 27 and the second mounting holes 52 are passed through the rotating shaft 60, thereby rotatably connecting the buckle structure 50 with the second plate 24, so as to realize the flip-out setting of the buckle structure 50 in the bayonet 26.

[0054] In some embodiments, such as Figure 6 As shown, the buckle structure 50 has a limiting groove 51 on its side, and the second fastener 20 has a limiting member 28 inside. The limiting member 28 protrudes into the latch 26. When the buckle structure 50 flips in the latch 26 to the position of fixing the watch strap, the limiting member 28 snaps into the limiting groove 51 to prevent the buckle structure 50 from continuing to flip after it is positioned.

[0055] In some embodiments, the second protrusion 22 is located at the edge of the first protrusion 21.

[0056] For example, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the second protrusion 22 is located at the edge of the first protrusion 21, and the second fastener 20 extends along the second direction Y. Correspondingly, the second groove 12 is located at the edge of the first groove 11.

[0057] Secondly, this application also provides a watch, which includes a watch strap and a watch strap buckle, wherein a first buckle 10 and a second buckle 20 are respectively connected to the two ends of the watch strap.

[0058] Specifically, the watch band typically has a watch face fixed to it, which can be either a mechanical or electronic watch face. In this embodiment, the magnetic connection between the first magnet 30 and the second magnet 40, along with the mechanical locking design of the groove and the protrusion, makes it difficult for the first buckle 10 and the second buckle 20 to loosen, preventing the watch band from coming undone and causing the watch to break.
