Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of watch accessory technology, specifically to a silicone pad structure for assembling the metal end links of a MIM watch strap with the watch case. Background Technology
[0002] MIM watch band metal end links and watch case are important components of a watch. They not only affect the watch's appearance and texture, but also directly relate to the watch's wearing comfort and durability. The watch band is usually mounted on the metal end links, which are mounted on the watch case, thus requiring the use of a silicone pad structure during assembly.
[0003] Currently, watch strap designs simply involve directly attaching the metal end links to the watch case. As a result, the connection between the metal end links and the watch case in MIM watch straps often suffers from inconvenient assembly and is prone to loosening, which affects the user experience of the watch strap. Furthermore, when subjected to external impacts or vibrations, it may cause instability during wear, making the watch unusable. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a silicone pad structure for assembling the metal end links of a MIM watch strap with the watch case, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a silicone pad structure for assembling the metal end links of a MIM watch strap with the watch case, comprising: a watch case body, wherein a mounting groove is formed on one side of the watch case body; a metal end link body, disposed inside the mounting groove, wherein a buffer hole is formed on one side of the metal end link body, and a buffer pad is disposed inside the buffer hole; an L-shaped buckle, disposed on the metal end link body, wherein a disassembly groove is formed on one side of the inside of the watch case body, wherein a locking block is disposed inside the disassembly groove, and the inside of the disassembly groove engages with one side of the locking block.
[0006] As a further preferred embodiment of this technical solution, a mounting bracket is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the watch case body, a fixing box is provided inside the mounting bracket, an adjusting screw is threadedly connected to the upper end of the fixing box, and one end of the adjusting screw is rotatably connected to the upper end of the locking block.
[0007] As a further preferred embodiment of this technical solution, a guide block is fixedly connected to one side of the card block, and the outer surface of the guide block is slidably connected to the inner wall of the fixed box.
[0008] As a further preferred embodiment of this technical solution, mounting ears are fixedly connected to both sides of the fixed box, and mounting screws are threaded onto the inner wall of the mounting ears.
[0009] As a further preferred embodiment of this technical solution, the upper end of the L-shaped buckle is fixedly connected with a reinforcing rib, and one side of the reinforcing rib is fixedly connected to one side of the metal head piece body.
[0010] As a further preferred embodiment of this technical solution, the watch strap mounting hole is provided on the metal headstock body.
[0011] As a further preferred embodiment of this technical solution, the buffer pad is made of silicone, which has good elasticity, wear resistance and corrosion resistance.
[0012] This utility model provides a silicone pad structure for assembling the metal end links of a MIM watch strap with the watch case, which has the following beneficial effects: (1) The present invention makes the assembly of the metal end piece body and the watch case body very simple and quick through the structural design of the buffer pad, L-shaped buckle and the block, and the assembly is easy to complete, which improves the convenience of use. The elasticity of the buffer pad effectively reduces the looseness between the metal end piece body and the watch case body.

[0016] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.
[0017] This utility model provides a technical solution: such as Figure 1 - Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the silicone pad structure for assembling the metal end links of the MIM watch band with the watch case includes: a watch case body 1, with an installation groove 7 on one side; a metal end link body 2, disposed inside the installation groove 7, with a buffer hole 12 on one side of the metal end link body 2, and a buffer pad 6 disposed inside the buffer hole 12; an L-shaped buckle 8, disposed on the metal end link body 2, with a disassembly groove 16 on one side of the inside of the watch case body 1, and a locking block 9 disposed inside the disassembly groove 16, the inside of the disassembly groove 16 engaging with one side of the locking block 9. Next, through the structural design of the buffer pad 6, L-shaped buckle 8 and locking block 9, the assembly of the metal end link body 2 and the watch case body 1 becomes very simple and quick, and the assembly is easily completed, improving the convenience of use. Moreover, the elasticity of the buffer pad 6 effectively reduces the looseness between the metal end link body 2 and the watch case body 1. During the wearing of the watch, even if it is subjected to external impact or vibration, the buffer pad 6 can play a role in cushioning and fixing, ensuring the stability and reliability of the watch. The buffer pad 6 is firmly fixed to the metal end link body 2 with glue.
[0018] A mounting bracket 3 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the watch case body 1. A fixing box 5 is set inside the mounting bracket 3. An adjusting screw 14 is threadedly connected to the upper end of the fixing box 5. One end of the adjusting screw 14 is rotatably connected to the upper end of the locking block 9. By rotating the adjusting screw 14, the thread of the adjusting screw 14 in the fixing box 5 moves and pushes the locking block 9 down, thereby adjusting the depth of the locking block 9 in the groove of the L-shaped buckle 8. This prevents severe wear between the locking block 9 and the L-shaped buckle 8 after long-term use, which would cause the metal head link body 2 to be unstable when installed on the watch case body 1.
[0019] A guide block 15 is fixedly connected to one side of the card block 9. The outer surface of the guide block 15 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the fixed box 5. Through the structural design of the guide block 15, when adjusting the position of the card block 9, the guide block 15 can restrict the card block 9 from rotating inside the fixed box 5.
[0020] Mounting ears 11 are fixedly connected to both sides of the fixed box 5. Mounting screws 10 are threaded on the inner wall of the mounting ears 11. Through the structural design of the mounting screws 10, the fixed box 5 can be removed from the mounting bracket 3 for replacement.
[0021] The upper end of the L-shaped buckle 8 is fixedly connected with a reinforcing rib 13. One side of the reinforcing rib 13 is fixedly connected to one side of the metal headstock body 2. Through the structural design of the reinforcing rib 13, the connection strength between the L-shaped buckle 8 and the metal headstock body 2 can be strengthened.
[0022] The watch strap mounting hole 4 is provided on the metal headstock body 2, and the MIM watch strap can be installed on the metal headstock body 2 through the watch strap mounting hole 4.
[0023] The cushioning pad 6 is made of silicone, which has good elasticity, wear resistance and corrosion resistance. The cushioning pad 6 has a soft texture. This material can maintain its performance during long-term use and ensure the service life of the silicone pad. Moreover, the hardness of the silicone material is moderate. It is neither too hard to make assembly difficult, nor too soft to affect its support and fixation function.
[0024] This utility model provides a silicone pad structure for assembling the metal end links of a MIM watch strap with the watch case. The specific working principle is as follows: When installing the metal head link body 2 into the watch case body 1, firstly, the buffer pad 6 is firmly fixed in the buffer hole 12 with glue. Then, the L-shaped buckle 8 on the metal head link body 2 is inserted into the disassembly groove 16 and gently pressed. The locking block 9 is then engaged in the groove of the L-shaped buckle 8, and the assembly is complete. After long-term use, the L-shaped buckle 8 and the locking block 9 will wear out significantly. The operator uses a tool to turn the adjusting screw 14, so that the thread of the adjusting screw 14 moves in the fixing box 5 and pushes the locking block 9 down. This adjusts the depth of one end of the locking block 9 in the groove of the L-shaped buckle 8, thereby improving the stability of the metal head link body 2 installed in the watch case body 1.
[0025] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
