[0019] Example

[0020] Please refer to Figure 1 As shown, this utility model discloses a combination lock carabiner watch, including a watch body 1, a shock-absorbing plate 2, a fixing strap 3, a carabiner 4, a combination lock 5, a photovoltaic ring 6, a storage battery, and a charging and discharging management circuit. A fixing strap 3 is connected to the front and rear ends of the watch body 1. The back of the watch body 1 is attached to the front of the shock-absorbing plate 2 and fixed to the shock-absorbing plate by the fixing straps at both ends. The carabiner 4 is connected to one of the fixing straps 3. The combination lock 5 is integrated into the locking arm 41 at the opening of the carabiner 4 to control the opening and closing of the carabiner 4. The photovoltaic ring 4 is arranged around the dial of the watch body 1 and converts light energy into electrical energy stored in the storage battery through the charging and discharging management circuit. The storage battery is located inside the watch body 1 and is electrically connected to both the photovoltaic ring and the watch body 1 to store the electrical energy generated by the photovoltaic ring and to power the watch body.

[0021] The combination lock 5 is a mechanical combination lock, which includes three combination wheels 51 and a built-in bolt assembly (not shown in the figure). By moving the combination wheels 51 to the correct combination, the internal bolt is retracted, allowing the locking arm 41 to open; conversely, when the locking arm 41 is closed and the combination wheels 51 are randomly shuffled, the bolt pops out and locks the locking arm.

[0022] The fixing strap 3 is a high-strength nylon webbing or rubber strap, forming a ring structure. The fixing strap passes through the pivot structure 11 on the watch body 1 for connection. The strap body of the fixing strap 3 is fixed to the shock-absorbing plate by rivets 31.

[0023] The photovoltaic ring 6 is a ring-shaped flexible solar panel that surrounds and is embedded in the outer ring around the dial of the clock body 1. Its surface is covered with a transparent protective cover, which is both aesthetically pleasing and does not obstruct light transmission. The output of the photovoltaic ring is electrically connected to the input of the charge / discharge management circuit, which includes IC chips for rectification, voltage regulation, and charge management. The battery is a small lithium polymer battery, all installed inside the clock body. The output of the charge / discharge management circuit is connected to the battery to charge it. The battery's output is connected to the main control circuit of the clock body, providing it with continuous and stable power. Under sunlight, the electrical energy generated by the photovoltaic ring is processed by the charge / discharge management circuit and stored in the battery; in the absence of sunlight, the battery powers the entire device.

[0024] The liquid crystal display unit 12 of the clock body 1 is used to display various information in a cycle or by switching between buttons, including core time information (hour, minute, second, date) and environmental information. The clock body 1 is also equipped with an environmental sensor group that is electrically connected to the main control circuit inside the clock body to collect environmental data and display it through the liquid crystal display unit.

[0025] The environmental sensor array includes at least one barometric altimeter, temperature sensor, and humidity sensor. It can monitor and display various environmental information in real time, providing outdoor enthusiasts with accurate meteorological and altitude data to assist them in making scientific judgments and travel planning, making it highly practical. The barometric altimeter, temperature sensor, and humidity sensor are integrated on a separate sensing circuit board and sealed within the watch body. The watch body's outer casing has ventilation holes corresponding to the sensor locations.

[0026] The clock body 1 is also equipped with a wireless communication module, which is connected to the main control circuit for pairing and connecting with smart terminal devices (such as mobile phones). After successful connection, the following functions can be realized:

[0027] Time synchronization: Automatically calibrates from smart terminals to accurate time.

[0028] Data synchronization and recording: Transmit historical environmental data (such as altitude changes and temperature curves) recorded by the wall meter to the mobile phone for storage, analysis and sharing.

[0029] Remote settings: Remotely change the password for the keypad lock, set an alarm, adjust the display mode, etc. via your mobile phone.

[0030] Find function: If the wall watch is lost nearby, you can trigger the watch to sound or flash via your mobile phone to make it easier to find.

[0031] The shock-absorbing plate 2 is made of elastic polymer or rubber materials, such as thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer (TPU). TPU material has excellent abrasion resistance, tear resistance, and high elasticity, providing better shock absorption and a longer service life than ordinary rubber, making it especially suitable for extreme outdoor environments. The carabiner 4 is made of high-strength aluminum alloy or stainless steel, and its shape is a D-ring.

[0032] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model, but the scope of protection of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model. Therefore, the scope of protection of this utility model should be determined by the scope of the claims.
