Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of watch strap technology, and in particular to a watch strap that is easy to use. Background Technology

[0002] As everyday timekeeping and decorative items, watches rely heavily on their straps. The strap not only secures the watch but also affects comfort and aesthetics. With increasing demands for personalization and convenience, users often need to change their watch straps for different occasions, such as switching from a metal strap to a leather one, or choosing different materials and colors to match their clothing. Therefore, improving the ease of attaching and detaching watch straps while ensuring durability has become a crucial aspect of watch strap design.

[0003] A Chinese patent has been published: an energy storage watch strap, patent announcement number: CN219645192U. The patent "includes a watch head, with a first watch strap and a second watch strap rotatably connected to both sides of the watch head; a thickened strap is provided on the side of the first watch strap near the watch head, and multiple battery boxes are fixedly connected inside the thickened strap, with batteries inserted inside each battery box; a battery cover is threaded to the outside of the thickened strap, and one end of the battery cover abuts against the outside of the battery."

[0004] When this watch strap is connected to the watch, it is secured to the lugs via a pin. The pin contains a spring, and its extension and retraction are used to maintain the strap's position. When the user needs to change the strap, a special tool must be used to press down on both ends of the pin, causing it to retract into the lug slot, allowing the strap to be removed. While this structure ensures a stable connection, the process is cumbersome and lacks a quick-release mechanism. Without specialized tools, it is difficult for users to complete the operation, making it inconvenient for daily replacement and use. Therefore, existing technology still lacks a watch strap structure that allows for easy and quick disassembly and installation. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to propose a watch strap that is easy to use, so as to solve the problem that existing watch straps do not have a dedicated quick-release structure, making it difficult for users to complete the operation without professional tools, which is not conducive to daily replacement and use, and the disassembly and assembly process is relatively cumbersome.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a user-friendly watch strap, comprising a strap and a watch. The strap includes rubber blocks and rubber posts, and is composed of multiple rubber blocks and rubber posts fixedly connected between them. Two pairs of opposing lugs are fixedly connected to both sides of the watch, and mounting grooves are formed between the opposing surfaces of the lugs. Four pin blocks are fixedly connected to both ends of the strap, and rubber strips are fixedly connected between the four pin blocks. A quick-release mechanism for rapid disassembly of the watch is provided at the end of each pin block near the watch.

[0007] Preferably, the quick-release mechanism includes a connecting block disposed on the side wall of the insert block, the connecting block being positioned between the opposing faces of the two opposing lugs, an outer cylinder being fixedly connected to the inner walls of both sides of the connecting block, the interior of the outer cylinder communicating with the outer wall of the connecting block, a plug being slidably connected to the interior of each of the two outer cylinders, a spring being fixedly connected to one end of the plug near the connecting block, the spring being fixedly connected to the inner wall of the outer cylinder, a pull rope being fixedly connected to one end of each of the two plugs near the spring, a rotating roller being rotatably connected to the inner wall of the connecting block, the opposing ends of the two pull ropes being fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating roller, a gear being fixedly connected to the top of the rotating roller, a push plate being slidably connected to the top of the connecting block, a toothed plate being fixedly connected to the bottom of the push plate, the toothed plate penetrating the inner wall of the connecting block, and the toothed plate and the gear meshing with each other.

[0008] Preferably, the side wall of the connecting block is fixedly connected to two mounting blocks, each mounting block has a convenient mounting groove on its side wall, and each of the four pin blocks has a pin hole on its side wall. A pin is inserted through the pin hole, and both ends of the pin extend into the convenient mounting groove.

[0009] Preferably, each of the two mounting blocks has a shielding block rotatably connected to one side of the opposite side. The shielding block is attached to the side wall of the mounting groove. A torsion spring is sleeved on the outer wall of the shaft portion on one side of the shielding block. The two ends of the torsion spring are respectively fixedly connected to the side wall of the mounting block and the shaft portion of the shielding block.

[0010] Preferably, when the push plate slides on the top of the connecting block, it will synchronously drive the toothed plate to move. The toothed plate will drive the gear to rotate by meshing with the gear. When the gear rotates, it will drive the rotating roller to rotate and wrap the pull ropes on both sides around the outer wall of the rotating roller. When the pull ropes are wrapped around the rotating roller, they will pull the pins on both sides away from the inside of the mounting groove and slide into the inside of the outer cylinder.

[0011] Preferably, the pin hole and the convenient installation groove on the side wall of the connecting block are on the same horizontal plane, and the pin passes between the convenient installation groove and the pin hole.

[0012] Preferably, when the blocking block rotates, the sidewall of the blocking block will leave the sidewall of the mounting block.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] 1. This user-friendly watch strap utilizes a push plate that drives a toothed plate, gears, and rotating rollers in a coordinated manner. This allows the pull cord to simultaneously pull the pin away from the mounting slot, enabling quick separation of the strap from the watch without the need for additional tools. During installation, the pin automatically extends under spring pressure and engages with the mounting slot for a secure lock. This design significantly improves the ease of strap installation and removal, reduces the difficulty of use, and avoids the wear and tear on the pins and lugs caused by traditional tools, extending the strap's lifespan. It also significantly addresses the problems of cumbersome installation and removal, and inconvenience for daily use, in existing technologies.

[0015] 2. This user-friendly watch strap features cutable inserts at both ends connected by rubber strips, allowing users to flexibly trim excess material according to their wrist size. This enables independent adjustment of the strap length, avoiding the inconvenience of traditional straps requiring special tools or replacement of the entire strap. Furthermore, the strap is composed of multiple rubber blocks and posts, and the ventilation holes on its outer wall effectively accelerate the evaporation of sweat during wear, reducing stuffiness and dampness. This balances flexibility, reliability, and comfort. Attached Figure Description

[0026] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a user-friendly watch strap includes a strap 1 and a watch 2. The strap 1 includes rubber blocks 3 and rubber posts 4. The strap 1 is composed of multiple rubber blocks 3 and rubber posts 4 that are fixedly connected between the rubber blocks 3. The watch 2 has two pairs of opposing lugs 5 fixedly connected to its two sides. A mounting groove 6 is provided between the opposing surfaces of the two pairs of opposing lugs 5. Four pin blocks 7 are fixedly connected to both ends of the strap 1. Rubber strips 8 are fixedly connected between the four pin blocks 7. A quick-release mechanism for quick disassembly and removal is provided at the end of the pin block 7 near the watch 2.

[0027] Further, see attached document. Figure 2 and Figure 5As shown, the quick-release mechanism includes a connecting block 9 disposed on the side wall of the insert block 7. The connecting block 9 is located between the opposing faces of two pairs of opposite lugs 5. An outer cylinder 10 is fixedly connected to the inner walls of both sides of the connecting block 9. The interior of the outer cylinder 10 is connected to the outer wall of the connecting block 9. A plug 11 is slidably connected to the interior of each of the two outer cylinders 10. A spring 12 is fixedly connected to one end of the plug 11 near the connecting block 9. The spring 12 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the outer cylinder 10. A pull rope 13 is fixedly connected to one end of each plug 11 near the spring 12. A rotating roller 14 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the connecting block 9. The opposite ends of the two pull ropes 13 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating roller 14. A gear 15 is fixedly connected to the top of the rotating roller 14. A push plate 16 is slidably connected to the top of the connecting block 9. A toothed plate 17 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the push plate 16. The toothed plate 17 penetrates the inner wall of the connecting block 9, and the toothed plate 17 and the gear 15 mesh with each other.

[0028] When the length of the watch strap 1 needs to be adjusted to fit different wrist sizes, the four pin blocks 7 at both ends of the watch strap 1 can be gradually cut with scissors. The excess pin blocks 7 can be removed by cutting the rubber strips 8 connected to them, thus shortening the overall length of the watch strap 1. Then, the blocking block 22 on one side of the mounting block 18 is moved to disengage the side wall of the blocking block 22 from the side wall of the mounting slot 19. The cut pin blocks 7 are then aligned with the mounting slot 19 and inserted into the pins 21, thus reconnecting the cut watch strap 1 to the connecting block 9. Simultaneously, since the watch strap 1 is composed of multiple rubber blocks 3 and rubber posts 4 fixedly connected, its outer wall naturally forms multiple ventilation holes. During wear, when the wrist sweats, sweat can be quickly dissipated through these holes, improving comfort and breathability.

[0029] When in use, the quick-release mechanism allows the pin block 7 of the watch strap 1 to be inserted into the mounting groove 6 between the opposite faces of the lugs 5 via the pin 21, ensuring a secure connection between the watch strap 1 and the watch 2. For disassembly, the user pushes the push plate 16 to slide it on top of the connecting block 9. This sliding motion of the push plate 16 moves the gear plate 17, which meshes with the gear 15, causing the gear 15 to rotate. The rotation of the gear 15 drives the rotating roller 14 to rotate. During rotation, the rotating roller 14 wraps the pull cords 13 on both sides around the outer wall. Once tightened, the pull cords 13 pull the pin 11 inward. The pull cords 13 are made of aramid fiber and have a tensile strength ≥20. ON causes the pin 11 to slide inside the outer cylinder 10 and gradually disengage from the mounting groove 6. With the help of the extension and retraction characteristics of the spring 12, the pin 11 can overcome the elastic force of the spring 12 and move outward when it is pulled by the cord 13. When both pins 11 are completely disengaged from the mounting groove 6, the pin block 7 can be pulled out from the lug 5, realizing the quick separation of the watch strap 1 and the watch 2. The user can complete the disassembly operation without using additional tools. At the same time, when reinstalling, simply align the pin block 7 with the mounting groove 6 of the lug 5, and the pin 11 will automatically extend and lock into the mounting groove 6 under the action of the spring 12, completing the stable fixation, thereby realizing the quick installation and removal of the watch strap 1.

[0030] Further, see attached document. Figure 4 As shown, two mounting blocks 18 are fixedly connected to the side wall of the connecting block 9. Each mounting block 18 has a convenient mounting groove 19 on its side wall. Each of the four pin blocks 7 has a pin hole 20 on its side wall. A pin 21 is inserted through the inside of the pin hole 20, and both ends of the pin 21 extend into the convenient mounting groove 19.

[0031] This design ensures a stable positioning and limiting structure. It guarantees the secure connection between the pin insert 7 and the connecting block 9, preventing the pin insert 7 from loosening or falling off due to external forces, thus improving the reliability of the connection between the watch strap 1 and the watch 2.

[0032] Further, see attached document. Figure 5 As shown, each of the two mounting blocks 18 has a shielding block 22 rotatably connected to one side facing away from the other. The shielding block 22 is attached to the side wall of the mounting groove 19. A torsion spring 23 is sleeved on the outer wall of the shaft on one side of the shielding block 22. The two ends of the torsion spring 23 are fixedly connected to the side wall of the mounting block 18 and the shaft of the shielding block 22, respectively.

[0033] The blocking block 22 is rotatably connected to the opposite side of the mounting block 18, and the blocking block 22 is always elastically attached to the side wall of the portable slot 19 by the torsion spring 23. When the watch strap 1 needs to be removed or cut and reinstalled, the user only needs to move the blocking block 22 to make it leave the side wall of the portable slot 19, thereby exposing the insertion position of the pin 21. This can achieve protection and blocking, preventing foreign objects from entering the portable slot 19, and can also be quickly opened when needed, ensuring the flexibility and practicality of the structure.

[0034] Further, see attached document. Figure 4 As shown, when the push plate 16 slides on the top of the connecting block 9, it will synchronously drive the toothed plate 17 to move. The toothed plate 17 meshes with the gear 15 to drive the gear 15 to rotate. When the gear 15 rotates, it will drive the rotating roller 14 to rotate and wrap the pull ropes 13 on both sides around the outer wall of the rotating roller 14. When the pull ropes 13 are wrapped around the rotating roller 14, they will pull the plugs 11 on both sides away from the interior of the mounting groove 6 and slide into the interior of the outer cylinder 10.

[0035] By setting up a push plate 16 and a toothed plate 17, and making the toothed plate 17 mesh with the gear 15, the toothed plate 17 can be moved synchronously and the gear 15 can be driven to rotate when the push plate 16 slides, thereby driving the rotating roller 14 to rotate. This transmission structure uses the meshing transmission of the gear 15 to achieve smooth force transmission, so that the user can easily drive the entire quick release mechanism when pushing the push plate 16, reducing the difficulty and resistance of operation, and improving the smoothness and reliability of the quick release structure.

[0036] Further, see attached document. Figure 3 As shown, the pin hole 20 and the convenient installation groove 19 on the side wall of the connecting block 9 are on the same horizontal plane, and the pin 21 passes between the convenient installation groove 19 and the pin hole 20.

[0037] The insertion pin 21 can be inserted between the insertion slot 19 and the insertion hole 20 to install the watch strap 1, while simplifying the installation process and enabling the insertion pin 21 to be quickly positioned and fixed.

[0038] Further, see attached document. Figure 5 As shown, when the blocking block 22 rotates, the side wall of the blocking block 22 will leave the side wall of the mounting block 18;

[0039] When the shielding block 22 rotates, its sidewall can actively separate from the sidewall of the mounting block 18, thus reserving operating space for the pin 21 in the easy-access slot 19. When not in use, the shielding block 22 remains in a closed state under the action of the torsion spring 23, preventing dust, sweat, or impurities from entering the easy-access slot 19 and ensuring the service life of the pin 21. When installation or removal is required, the shielding block 22 can be quickly opened, facilitating the user to insert or remove the pin 21, achieving a combination of protection and convenience.
