In addition, under the condition that the use requirement is ensured, the tidiness and the integrity of the watch case are improved, and the use feeling of a user to the wrist-wearing equipment is improved.

On the basis of the above embodiment, the neck strap connecting piece 3 is connected with the wrist strap connecting piece 4 through the transmission mechanism, the movement of the neck strap connecting piece 3 extending into the casing 1 drives the wrist strap connecting piece 4 to extend out of the casing 1, and the movement of the wrist strap connecting piece 4 extending into the casing 1 drives the neck strap connecting piece 3 to extend out of the casing 1.

It should be noted that the neck strap connecting member 3 and the wrist strap connecting member 4 may form a linkage mechanism by a transmission mechanism, and the extending and retracting states of the two are opposite, the extending of the wrist strap connecting member 4 is realized by pushing the neck strap connecting member 3 into the housing 1, and the extending of the neck strap connecting member 3 is realized by pushing the wrist strap connecting member 4 into the housing 1. The conversion between the two can be realized only by manual adjustment of a user without the aid of an external tool.

The structure for realizing the linkage mode can be in various modes, and the stable mode is realized through a gear transmission mechanism.

On the basis of the above embodiment, the neck strap connecting piece 3 is arranged on the guide rail 6 of the casing 1, and the side part thereof is provided with the rack which is engaged with the steering gear 2, the rotation center of the steering gear 2 is connected with the casing 1, and the non-rotation center part of the steering gear 2 drives the wrist strap connecting piece 4 to move telescopically relative to the casing 1.

It should be noted that, considering that only one connecting member is required for connecting the neckband, and two connecting members are usually required for connecting the wristbands, in this embodiment, one neckband connecting member 3 can drive two wristband connecting members 4. Referring to fig. 1 and 2, the neck strap connecting piece 3 moves linearly on the guide rail 6 of the housing 1, and both sides of the neck strap connecting piece 3 are provided with linear teeth and are respectively engaged with the corresponding steering gears 2.

Optionally, the neck strap connecting piece 3 is still provided with a single linear rack, the linear rack drives one steering gear 2, the two sides of the steering gear 2 are respectively provided with the wrist strap connecting pieces 4, the two wrist strap connecting pieces are centrosymmetric with respect to the steering gear 2, namely when the steering gear 2 rotates, the two wrist strap connecting pieces 4 are positioned on the two sides of the steering gear 2, and the extension and retraction can be synchronously realized.

Optionally, the housing 1 is provided with a steering gear 2, the rack on the neck strap connecting piece 3 is engaged with the steering gear 2, the two wrist strap connecting pieces 4 are respectively engaged with the gear through respective side racks, the two side racks are respectively arranged on two sides of the gear, and the racks are perpendicular to the side racks.

On the basis of the above embodiment, one of the non-rotational center portion of the steering gear 2 and the wrist band link 4 is provided with a projection, and the other is provided with a slide groove in which the projection is slidably provided, the slide groove having an extension in a direction perpendicular to the extending and retracting direction of the wrist band link 4.

Referring to fig. 9 and 10, a protrusion is disposed on the steering gear 2, and a sliding groove is disposed on the wrist strap connecting member 4, which cooperate with each other such that when the steering gear 2 rotates, the protruded steering gear 2 is displaced in a radial direction, so as to drive the wrist strap connecting member 4 to move in the radial direction, thereby achieving extension and retraction. Note that, in this case, a guide or a telescopic hole of the case 1 is required at the side of the wrist band link 4 in order to convert the planar movement of the protrusion into the linear telescopic movement of the wrist band link 4.

optionally, a limiting block 8 for limiting the moving direction of the wrist strap connecting part 4 is arranged in the casing 1, and the limiting block 8 is located at the side part of the moving direction of the wrist strap connecting part 4, or the limiting block 8 is sleeved in the linear slide rail of the wrist strap connecting part 4.

Optionally, the present application is not limited to the above-mentioned guiding manner, and other manners in the prior art may be selected.

On the basis of any of the above embodiments, in order to avoid the connecting member from moving out completely or retracting into the housing 1 completely after excessive movement, the housing 1 is provided with a limiting member for limiting the extension and retraction range of the neck strap connecting member 3. Of course, a member for limiting the moving range of the wrist band link 4 may be provided.

Alternatively, the guide rail 6 and the neck strap attachment 3 have structures that limit the range of the telescopic stroke at the end of the sliding stroke. Referring to fig. 7, the neck strap connector 3 is snapped onto the guide rail 6 in fig. 7, and the guide rail 6 can limit the moving range of the neck strap connector 3 to prevent the neck strap connector 3 from moving out or retracting into the housing 1 completely.

It should be noted that the groove functions to cooperate with the elastic member 5 to prevent the neck band connecting member 3 from moving too much, but of course, the restriction structure may be provided for the wrist band connecting member 4.

alternatively, the two recesses abut against the elastic member 5 at the end of the extension stroke and the end of the retraction stroke of the neck strap connecting member 3, respectively.

Meanwhile, under the action of the elastic piece 5, when the two modes start to convert and are converted in place, the function of reducing the acting force obviously can be achieved, and the pressing in place is prompted. When the pressing is started, the acting force is relatively large, and the purpose of preventing misoperation can be achieved.

On the basis of any of the above embodiments, the wrist band connector 4 is generally provided on both the upper and lower sides of the dial body 1, and the neck connector 3 is generally provided on the upper side or one of the left and right sides of the dial body 1. That is, the stretching directions of the neck link 3 and the wrist band link 4 may be the same direction, or a direction having an angle of 90 degrees. Of course, a mode with an included angle not existing can be adopted, and the above situation can be realized by using a gear-rack structure, and only different angle designs and transmission designs need to be carried out.

on the basis of any of the above embodiments, the two wrist band links 4 are symmetrically disposed with respect to the housing 1, and the expansion and contraction of the two with respect to the housing 1 are reversed and synchronized.

in addition to the main connection structure of the watch case provided in the above embodiments, the present invention also provides a wrist-worn device including the watch case disclosed in the above embodiments, which can be used with a neck band and a wrist band, or can be used in different modes by using different connection positions through the same band.
