[0007] By adopting the above technical means, the outer wall of the mounting seat is also arc-shaped, which makes it easy to fit with the inner wall of the housing, and the strap enters through the first string hole and exits through the second string hole.

[0008] As a specific means of the above technical means, the pressing assembly comprises a metal button, elastic holes are formed on both sides of the metal button, springs are connected and fixed to the opposite sides of the metal button, and both opposite sides of the springs are connected and fixed to the outer walls of the wire-passing groove.

[0009] By adopting the above technical means, the diameter of the elastic hole is the same as the first string hole and the second string hole.

[0010] As a specific means of the above technical means, the magnet assembly has an attachment groove, an iron piece is connected and fixed in the attachment groove, a magnet piece is provided on the top of the iron piece, and a badge is connected and fixed to the top of the magnet piece.

[0011] By adopting the above technical means, the material of the iron piece becomes iron, which makes it easy for the magnet piece to be attracted.

[0012] As a specific example of the above technical means, a strap is provided in the wire-passing groove.

[0013] By adopting the above technical means, it is convenient for the strap to pass through the elastic hole in the wire-passing groove.

[0014] As a specific example of the above technical means, a base portion is connected and fixed to the bottom of the housing.

[0015] By adopting the above technical means, the internal mechanism of the housing is protected.

[0016] As a specific example of the above technical means, restricting blocks are fixedly connected to the outer walls of both opposing sides of the metal button.

[0017] By adopting the above technical means, when there is no strap in the elastic hole, the metal button is prevented from slipping out of the through hole.

[0018] As a specific example of the above technical means, the outer walls of the two metal buttons are brought into sliding contact with the inner walls of the through holes.

[0019] By adopting the above technical means, the metal button is convenient for compressing the spring.

[0020] As a specific means of the above technical means, the mounting groove is provided in the fixed disk.

[0021] By adopting the above technical means, it is convenient to mount the iron piece in the mounting groove. [Effects of the Invention]

[0022] Compared with the prior art, the advantageous effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0023] 1. The user-friendly smartphone strap provided by the present invention has the effect of adjusting the length of the strap according to demand through the cooperation of the through-hole, metal button, elastic hole, limiting block, spring, wire-passing groove, first string-passing hole and second string-passing hole.

[0024] 2. The user-friendly smartphone strap provided by this invention utilizes the cooperation of the fixing disc, mounting groove, iron piece, magnet piece and badge. Simply take out a new badge and use the magnet piece at the bottom of the badge to attach and fix it to the iron piece in the mounting groove, thereby achieving the effect of quick badge replacement and saving time.

[Figure 3] 1 is a schematic side view of a wire-passing groove according to the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0026] The technical means in the embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, but it goes without saying that the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present invention and do not cover all of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without any creative activity fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0027] For a better understanding of the present invention, the invention will now be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

[0028] 1 and 2, the user-friendly smartphone strap of the present invention comprises a housing 1, a mounting base 2 connected and fixed to the inner wall of the housing 1, the mounting base 2 serving as a support and a partition, wire-passing grooves 12 on both sides of the mounting base 2 to facilitate the passage of a strap 18, a top cover 4 connected and fixed to the top of the housing 1, the top cover 4 sealingly sealing the housing 1 and providing a certain protection, a first string-passing hole 5 formed in the outer wall at the front and rear ends of the left side of the housing 1, and a second string-passing hole 6 formed in the outer wall at the front and rear ends of the right side of the housing 1, the first string-passing hole 5 and the second string-passing hole 6 facilitating the insertion and removal of the strap 18, and the two first string-passing holes 5 and the second string-passing hole 6 A through hole 7 is provided between the through hole 6, and the through hole 7 serves to support and secure the metal button 8. A pressing assembly is provided within the through hole 7, and the pressing assembly can be used to press and secure a strap 18. The opposite side of the pressing assembly is connected to the outer wall of the wire-passing groove 12. A fixing disk 13 is connected and secured to the top of the upper cover 4, which is convenient for attaching and securing a magnet assembly. A magnet assembly is provided on the top of the fixing disk 13, which is convenient for removing and replacing a badge 17. The badge 17 is connected to the top of the magnet assembly, which serves a decorative purpose and can also be replaced. A strap 18 is provided within the wire-passing groove 12, and the base part 3 is connected and secured to the bottom of the housing 1.

[0029] 2 and 3, the pressing assembly includes metal buttons 8, the outer walls of which are in sliding contact with the inner walls of through-holes 7, and the through-holes 7 serve to support the metal buttons 8. Elastic holes 9 are formed on both sides of the metal buttons 8, and the elastic holes 9 cooperate with the metal buttons 8 and springs 11 to secure a strap 18. The springs 11 are connected and fixed to opposite sides of the metal buttons 8, and the springs 11 can push and move the metal buttons 8. Both opposite sides of the springs 11 are connected and fixed to the outer walls of the wire-passing groove 12, so that the springs 11 can be fixed to the outer walls of the wire-passing groove 12. Restricting blocks 10 for restricting the metal buttons 8 are connected and fixed to the outer walls of both opposite sides of the metal buttons 8.

[0030] Referring to FIG. 1, the magnet assembly is mounted in a fixed disk 13 and has a mounting groove 14 for mounting an iron piece 15, the iron piece 15 is connected and fixed in the mounting groove 14, a magnet piece 16 is mounted on the top of the iron piece 15, and a badge 17 is connected and fixed on the top of the magnet piece 16, so that the iron piece 15 can cooperate with the magnet piece 16 to fix the badge 17 and can be easily removed and replaced.

[0031] Operating principle: In operation, the strap 18 passes through the first string-passing hole 5 on both sides of the housing 1, enters the wire-passing groove 12, passes through the elastic hole 9, and exits through the second string-passing hole 6. To adjust the length of the strap 18, manually press the metal buttons 8 on both sides of the housing 1, causing them to move relatively inside the housing 1 through the through-hole 7. At this time, the strap 18 inside the elastic hole 9 is loose. After adjusting the strap 18 to the appropriate length, release the metal buttons 8 and allow the spring 11 to press them, clamping and restricting the strap 18 inside the elastic hole 9, thereby adjusting the length of the strap 18. When the surface decoration needs to be replaced, a new badge 17 is taken out and attached to the iron piece 15 in the mounting groove 14 via the magnet 16 at the bottom of the badge 17, saving time.
