A first specific embodiment of the present disclosure provides a watchband 300, as shown in FIG. 1, including a watchband body 110 and a connector 100. The connector 100 is connected with the watchband body 110. As shown in FIG. 5, the connector 100 can be transversely inserted into a connecting slot 210 defined on a watch body 200 of a watch 1000, to connect the watchband body 110 to the watch body 200. A first magnetic part 20 and/or a second magnetic part 30 described later are/is matched with a locating slot 220 formed in the connecting slot 210 in a plugged manner, to realize detachable connection between the watchband 300 and the watch body 200.

In the first embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, the connector 100 includes a main body 10 for connecting the watchband body 110, as well as a first magnetic part 20, a second magnetic part 30 and balance blocks 40 which are installed on the main body 10.

The main body 10 is provided with a hinge structure 111 for hinging with the watchband body 110, and the watchband body 110 is hinged with the hinge structure 111, so that the watchband body 110 can rotate relative to the connector 100.

The main body 10 is also provided with an installation groove 12 and at least one opening 1201 communicating with the installation groove 12. The first magnetic part 20 is movably installed in the installation groove 12 and corresponds to one of the opening 1201, and can extend out of or retract into the installation groove 12 formed in the main body 10 through the opening 1201 corresponding to the first magnetic part 20 when being moved in the installation groove 12.

In an embodiment, the installation groove 12 can penetrate through a front side and a back side of the main body 10 to form a through notch. That is, the main body 10 is provided with two openings 1201 communicating with the installation groove 12. In this embodiment, the two openings 1201 correspond one-to-one with the first magnetic part 20 and the second magnetic part 30, respectively. The second magnetic part 30 can also be movably installed in the installation groove 12, and can extend out of or retract into the installation groove 12 formed in the main body 10 through the opening 1201 corresponding to the second magnetic part 30 when being moved in the installation groove 12.

In this embodiment, the second magnetic part 30 is arranged in and limited in a moving direction of the first magnetic part 20. Correspondingly, the two openings 1201 are arranged in the moving direction of the first magnetic part 20. Similarly, the first magnetic part 20 is arranged in and limited in a moving direction of the second magnetic part 30.

Further, the first magnetic part 20 and the second magnetic part 30 have the same polarity on one end facing each other. That is, one end of the second magnetic part 30 facing the first magnetic part 20, and one end of the first magnetic part 20 facing the second magnetic part 30, are the same in polarity. For example, the ends of the first magnetic part 20 and the second magnetic part 30 that are facing each other are both S poles or N poles.

In a natural state, the first magnetic part 20 provides a repulsive force for the second magnetic part 30, and the second magnetic part 30 provides a repulsive force for the first magnetic part 20, so that under an action of the second magnetic part 30, the first magnetic part 20 naturally extends out of the main body 10 to form a convex buckle, and under an action of the first magnetic part 20, the second magnetic part 30 naturally extends out of the main body 10 to form another convex buckle. Therefore, the front side and the back side of the main body 10 of the connector 100 can both be inserted into the locating slot 220 of the watch body 200 to realize blind insertion.

When the connector 100 is inserted into the connecting slot 210 defined on the watch body 200, during the process of sliding along the connecting slot 210, the first magnetic part 20 and the second magnetic part 30 will retract into the installation groove 12 formed in the main body 10. When the opening 1201 corresponding to the first magnetic part 20 meets the locating slot 220, the first magnetic part 20 extends out of the main body 10 under the action of the second magnetic part 30, and is clamped in the locating slot 220, to realize detachable connection between the watchband 300 to the watch body 200. Similarly, when the opening 1201 corresponding to the second magnetic part 30 meets the locating slot 220, the second magnetic part 30 extends out of the main body 10 under the action of the first magnetic part 20, and is clamped in the locating slot 220, to realize detachable connection between the watchband 300 to the watch body 200.

It can be understood that in other embodiments, the first magnetic part 20 is a movable part while the second magnetic part 30 is a fixed part. Correspondingly, one end of the installation groove 12 can be closed to fix the second magnetic part 30, and the other end of the installation groove 12 can be provided with the opening 1201 corresponding to the first magnetic part 20.

In the first embodiment, the first magnetic part 20 includes a first cap 21 and a first magnetic body 22 installed in the first cap 21. The second magnetic part 30 includes a second cap 31 and a second magnetic body 32 installed in the second cap 31. The first magnetic part 20 and the second magnetic part 30 restrictively slide in the installation groove 12. The first magnetic body 22 and the second magnetic body 32 have the same polarity on one end facing each other. Specifically, two opposite sides of the first cap 21 are each provided with a convex first flange 211, and two opposite sides of the second cap 31 are each provided with a convex second flange 311. Two opposite side walls of the installation groove 12 are each provided with a chute 121. The first flange 211 and the second flange 311 restrictively slide in the chute 121 to prevent the first magnetic part 20 and the second magnetic part 30 from being separated from the installation groove 12.

The balance blocks 40 are arranged on the main body 10 and located on both sides of the first magnetic part 20 and the second magnetic part 30. Embedding grooves 13 are formed in the main body 10. The two embedding grooves 13 are formed in both sides of the first magnetic part 20 and the second magnetic part 30. The balance blocks 40 can avoid the problem of too tight or too loose assembly caused by mismatched gaps in the connecting slot 210 of the watch body 200.

A second specific embodiment of the present disclosure provides a watchband 300. Corresponding to the first embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, the watchband 300 includes a watchband body 110 and a connector 100. The main body 10 of the connector 100 includes an edge structure 112 covered with the watchband body 110. Other structures of the connector 100 can refer to those in the first specific embodiment.

In various embodiments of the present disclosure, the first magnetic part 20 and the second magnetic part 30 are arranged oppositely, so that the first magnetic part 20 and the second magnetic part 30 repel each other in the same polarity. Under the action of the second magnetic part 30, the first magnetic part 20 extends out of the main body 10, and then can be clamped into the locating slot 220 of the watch body 200, so that a user can easily press the first magnetic part 20 and overcome the repulsive force to retract first magnetic part 20 into the main body 10, and the watchband is detached from the watch body 200.

The foregoing descriptions are merely exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure, but are not intended to limit the present disclosure. Any modification, equivalent replacement, or improvement made within the spirit and principle of the present disclosure shall fall within the protection scope of the present disclosure.
