Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0019] Please see Figures 1 to 4 One embodiment of this utility model is a wristband structure for a watch, comprising a wristband body 1 and an inflation component 2.

[0020] The watch strap body 1 is made of leather. The mounting groove 12 is formed by cutting or molding. The magnetic patch 4 is embedded and fixed with glue on the back. Two flexible tubes 3 extending along their length are embedded inside the watch strap body 1. The two flexible tubes 3 are parallel to each other. Several evenly arranged micro-holes (not shown) are opened on the tube wall of the flexible tube 3, and the tail end of the flexible tube 3 is sealed. A first through hole 11 is opened in the center of the bottom of the mounting groove 12.

[0021] The inflation assembly 2 includes a bladder 21, a connector 22, and a magnetic plate 23. The bladder 21 is made of elastic silicone and has a small air inlet 212 on its upper surface. A waterproof and breathable filter membrane is attached to the hole. There is an insertion hole 211 at the center of the bottom of the bladder 21. The magnetic plate 23 is made of magnetic metal and has a second through hole 231 in the center. It is fixed to the bottom of the bladder 21 by adhesive. The connector 22 is made of rigid plastic and has an air inlet pipe 222, a transfer cavity 223, and two branch pipes 224, which are internally connected.

[0022] During assembly, the connector 22 is placed inside the watchband, with its two branch pipes 224 inserted into the ends of the two flexible hoses 3 respectively. The air inlet pipe 222 passes sequentially from the inside of the watchband outwards through the first through hole 11, the magnetic patch 4, and the second through hole 231 of the magnetic suction plate 23, finally inserting into the insertion hole 211 of the bulge 21 and sealing it with an interference fit. At this time, the magnetic suction plate 23 is attracted to the magnetic patch 4 in the mounting groove 12. Since the depth of the mounting groove 12 matches the thickness of the magnetic suction plate 23, the bottom of the bulge 21 is basically flush with the outer side of the watchband, resulting in a neat appearance. The inside of the bulge 21 is connected to the flexible hoses 3 through the connector 22.

[0023] Furthermore, the magnetic patch 4 is made by uniformly mixing soft silicone with a large amount of iron powder and then vulcanizing it into a thin sheet. It is not magnetic but has good magnetic conductivity, and the magnetic patch 4 is soft and can be slightly deformed.

[0024] Furthermore, the volume of the bladder 21 in its naturally relaxed state is designed to be approximately 2.5 times the total volume of the two hoses 3; even considering gas compressibility and flow resistance, a single full press is sufficient to inject enough air into the hoses 3 to fully expand them, with excess airflow escaping through the micropores on the hoses 3.

[0025] When in use, press the bladder 21, and air is forced into the hose 3 through the connector 22, causing it to expand and release a gentle breeze; release the hand, and the bladder 21 returns to its original position, and external air quickly enters the bladder 21 through the filter membrane and air inlet 212 to replenish it, preparing for the next press; the magnetic adsorption structure ensures that the inflation component 2 is stable and does not shake.

[0026] The outer surface of the hose 3 is covered with a fluff layer 32 to enhance the tactile feel.

[0027] The watch strap body 1 can also be made of silicone material. Its outer surface is processed by a mold to form a shallow mounting groove 12 that matches the shape of the magnetic plate 23. A magnetic patch 4 is attached to the mounting groove 12.

[0028] Working principle: This invention utilizes a detachable inflation component, employing a pressing bladder 21 to achieve inflation. When fully inflated, the hose 3 lifts the main body 1 of the watch strap, temporarily separating it from the user's skin. The air is then circulated through micropores on the hose 3, actively creating a breathable space under the watch strap. The newly added air inlet ensures the sustainability of the inflation source. The combination of the mounting slot and the soft magnetic patch significantly improves the stability and aesthetics of the component's installation, thereby optimizing the overall user experience.

[0029] 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 illustrative 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. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
