Detailed Description

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.

Please refer to the watch 100 shown in fig. 2. Comprises a shell 10, a front cover 20, a ring opening 30, a rear cover 40 and a connecting piece 50. In a first direction 001 perpendicular to the front cover 20, the front cover 20 covers the housing 10, and the front cover 20 is made of a transparent material. Generally, the front cover 20 is made of a material having high hardness and high transmittance, such as sapphire, glass, or crystal. The front cover 20 is fixedly connected with the ring opening 30, and the ring opening 30 is fixedly connected with the housing 10 in the first direction 001, so that the front cover 20 is fixedly connected with the housing 10. Described another way, the collar 30 serves as an adaptor to fixedly connect the front cover 20 and the housing 10 together in the first direction 001. The housing 10 is also made of a transparent material. The ring opening 30, the housing 10 and the rear cover 40 are sequentially attached and fixedly connected in the first direction 001. I.e. the housing 10 is located between the collar 30 and the rear cover 40. The collar 30 has a first surface 31 facing the rear cover 40. The first surface 31 is provided with a protrusion 32. The connecting member 50 is inserted through the housing 10 from one end of the rear cover 40 along the first direction 001 and then is engaged and connected with the protrusion 32, so as to fix the ring opening 30, the housing 10 and the rear cover 40 in the first direction 001.

Since the front cover 20 and the housing 10 are made of transparent materials, the front cover 20 and the housing 10 are made of materials like sapphire, glass or crystal. The materials have higher hardness, and if the connection mode of interference fit is directly adopted, cracks or breakage are easily generated in the extrusion process. Thereby, the collar 30 serves as an adaptor to fixedly connect the front cover 20 and the housing 10. It will be appreciated that the second surface 33, opposite the first surface 31, is the outer surface of the collar 30 facing the user. On the second surface 33, decoration such as a mounted jewel or a pattern is usually applied for decoration, so as to enhance the user experience. However, in the prior art, bolts and the like are often used as connecting members to connect the ring opening 30, the housing 10 and the rear cover 40, so that a through hole allowing the bolt to pass through is inevitably formed at the full opening 30. The bolt heads remain on the second surface 33, which may obstruct the appearance of the second surface 33 and affect the user's viewing experience. After the protruding portion 32 matched with the connecting piece 50 is arranged on the first surface 31, the protruding portion 32 is matched with the connecting piece 50 to complete the connection and fixing actions of the ring opening 30, the shell 10 and the rear cover 30, the second surface 33 avoids the arrangement of bolt through holes, and the second surface 33 can be used as a continuous decorative surface, so that the partition feeling is eliminated, and the product quality and the user experience are improved.

In the embodiment of fig. 2, the connecting member 50 is a screw 51, the protrusion 32 is a cylinder, and a screw hole 321 matching with the screw 51 is arranged in the protrusion 32. Of course, in other embodiments, the engagement of the protrusion 32 and the connector 50 may be by way of a mating arrangement such as a spring latch, a break stop thread, or the like, although this may increase the complexity of the mechanism, while allowing for more convenient disassembly and assembly. The manner of fitting the protrusion 32 and the connector 50 is not particularly limited. It is understood that when the screw connection shown in fig. 2 is adopted, the screw hole 321 includes a thread terminating surface 3211, and after the screw 51 is tightly connected with the protrusion 32, the end surface 511 of the screw 51 does not enter the thread terminating surface 3211, so as to avoid the loose connection of the collar 30, the housing 10 and the rear cover 40 due to the abutting of the screw 51 against the thread terminating surface 3211. The matching mode of the thread 51 and the screw hole 321 is adopted to realize the connection and fixation of the ring opening 30, the shell 10 and the rear cover 30, the relative structure is simple, the realization is easy, and the requirement on assembly is low.

Referring to fig. 3, the watch 100 is mostly in a shape of central symmetry, such as a circle, a square, an ellipse, or the like. The front cover 20 is also correspondingly shaped in a centrosymmetric manner. Correspondingly, the ring opening 30 is arranged around the edge of the front cover 20, and the ring opening 30 is also in a central symmetrical shape. It will be appreciated that, in order to ensure a reliable connection of the watch 100, the protrusion 32 needs to be provided in a plurality, and the plurality of protrusions 32 are uniformly distributed on the first surface 31 along the outer contour of the ring opening 30. Correspondingly, the number of the connecting pieces 50 is also multiple, and the connecting pieces 50 are uniformly distributed along the outer contour of the ring opening 30 and are connected with the protruding parts 32 in a one-to-one correspondence manner. In the embodiment of fig. 3, the number of the protruding portions 32 is 6, and the 6 protruding portions 32 are uniformly distributed on the periphery of the casing 10, so that the connection between the ring opening 30, the casing 10 and the back cover 40 in the first direction 001 can be in a desirable state, and the internal transparent structure of the watch 100 is not visually hindered too much due to the excessive connecting members 50.

It will be appreciated that in other embodiments, because the watch 100 is also provided with components such as a spring, movement, etc., the protrusions 32 may be provided in a non-uniform shape to avoid interference with these components. Depending on the specific shape of the watch 100, the protrusions 32 may be optimized in certain arrangement or adjusted in applicability without affecting the performance of the present invention.

In one embodiment, referring back to fig. 2, the side of the housing 10 facing the first surface 31 is the first end surface 11. In order to make the ring opening 30 fit tightly and reliably with the housing 10, the first surface 31 and the first end surface 11 fit with each other. The projection 32 now needs to extend into the housing 10. An accommodating cavity 12 is formed in the first end surface 11, and an inner cavity of the accommodating cavity 12 is matched with the shape of the protruding portion 32 to accommodate the protruding portion 32. Accordingly, in order to receive the connector 50 such that the connector 50 passes through the rear cover 40 and the housing 10, it is also necessary to provide a through hole 13 in the housing 10 and a rear cover through hole 41 in the rear cover 40. It will be understood that the through hole 41 of the rear cover and the through hole 13 communicate with each other, and in order to achieve the fitting connection of the connecting member 50 and the protrusion 32, the through hole 13 needs to communicate with the receiving cavity 12. It is understood that the receiving cavity 12 and the through hole 13 communicate with each other to penetrate the housing 10 in the first direction 001.

In another embodiment, referring to fig. 4, the through hole 13 penetrating along the first direction 001 is disposed on the housing 10, and the through hole 13 is configured to simultaneously receive the screw 51 and the protrusion 32. This is because, in the embodiment of fig. 2, a step surface 123 is formed at the boundary position between the through hole 13 and the receiving cavity 12. The step surface is arranged inside the transparent watch 100, so that a plurality of small reflecting surfaces can be formed, and for the transparent watch which seeks the whole transparent effect of the watch body, a certain visual partition can be caused to the user, and the whole observation effect of the watch is influenced. When the through hole 13 is adopted to accommodate the protruding part 32 and the screw 51 at the same time, the step surface 123 formed between the accommodating cavity 12 and the through hole 13 can be avoided, so that the permeability of the internal structure of the watch is enhanced, and the user experience is improved.

With continued reference to fig. 4, the screw 51 has an extending section 511 and a holding section 512 at its two ends. The external portion of the extending section 511 is a screw thread, the extending section 511 is rotated to extend into the protrusion 32 to realize the connection between the screw 51 and the protrusion 32, and the fixing section 512 is matched with the rear cover 40 to fix the rear cover 40. It is understood that the external dimension of the holding section 512 is larger than the diameter of the through hole 41 of the rear cover, so that the holding of the rear cover 40 by the holding section 512 can be realized. Between the protruding section 511 and the holding section 512, a connecting section 513 is provided. Specifically, a first plane 5131 is arranged on one side of the connecting section 513 facing the extending section 511, and the extending section extends from the first plane 5131.

Since the housing 10 is made of a transparent material, a user can directly observe the internal structure of the through hole 13 through the outside. In order to improve the observation effect of the protrusion 32 and the screw 51 after connection, in one embodiment, the outer diameter of the protrusion 32 and the outer diameter of the connection section are set to be the same. I.e. the screw 51 has the same outer diameter as the projection 32, as seen from the outside. Further, the extending section 511 is completely accommodated in the screw hole 321, an end surface of the protruding portion 32 facing the screw 51 is defined as a second plane 322, and the second plane 322 is attached to the first plane 5131. This arrangement allows the protruding section 511 to be completely received in the screw hole 321, and a user can observe from the outside without observing the thread portion. With the outer diameter of the protrusion 32 being consistent with the outer diameter of the connection section 513, the user observes that the protrusion 32 and the screw 51 are connected integrally and have uniform thickness inside the through hole 13, and the consistency of the internal structure of the watch 100 is further improved.

In one embodiment, a reinforcement 312 is disposed between the protrusion 32 and the first surface 31. The reinforcement 312 serves to eliminate stress concentration between the protrusion 32 and the first surface 31. It is understood that the reinforcement 312 may be a rounded corner of the protrusion 32, or may be a solder that connects the collar 30 and the protrusion 32 independently, or even a rib (not shown) that is purposely disposed between the protrusion 32 and the first surface 31. When the reinforcement 312 is a rib, the reinforcement 312 can be disposed to be circumferentially distributed on the outer edge of the protrusion 32 to provide a more balanced reinforcement.

In another embodiment, the screw hole 321 and the screw 51 are reversed. I.e. the protrusion 32 is provided as a screw structure and the connection 50 is provided as a threaded hole cooperating with the screw structure. The screw structure may also be divided into a connecting section and an extending section, and the connecting member is divided into a fixing section and a screw hole section, which are connected in a matching manner to realize the fixed connection of the ring opening 30, the housing 10 and the rear cover 40 in the first direction 001. It will be understood that such a change does not affect the effect of making the second face 33 continuous and free of interruptions, which the watch 100 of the present application is intended to achieve. Further, the screw rod and the screw hole section also adopt the diameter size the same, the through-hole accepts completely and stretches into setting such as section, equally can improve the inner structure uniformity of wrist-watch 100 reaches the purpose that promotes user experience.

The above-described embodiments do not limit the scope of the present invention. Any modification, equivalent replacement, and improvement made within the spirit and principle of the above-described embodiments should be included in the protection scope of the technical solution.
