20150103638
The present application relates to a timepiece, and more particularly relates to a watch.
In daily lives, watches are widely used, generally consisting of a watchcase and a watchband, with a time-displayed surface arranged on the watchcase. The time-displayed surface is provided with a time-displayed mode which is one of an electrical type and a pointer type. Though these watches can meet requirements of knowing time, but the time-displayed mode is excessively single.
Currently, a double-sided watch that can display time on both sides presents on the market, which is provided with a time-displayed structure including two time-displayed surfaces that are arranged opposite to each other, as well as a movement and a circuit board which are arranged between the two time-displayed surfaces. Moreover, the time-displayed structure is movably connected with the watch case in a hinged way, i.e., two time-displayed surfaces can be exchanged through rotating around a connecting shaft of the time-displayed structure and the watchcase based on requirements of users, so as to diversify the time-displayed modes to meet requirements of customers. Though this double-sided watch diversifies the time-displayed modes, the movable connection between the watchcase and the time-displayed structure is not firm enough, and connecting portions are easy to get deformed and damaged after frequently rotations. Thus, the service life of the double-sided watch is short.
The objective of the present application is to provide a double-sided watch with a simple configuration, a long service life and a diversified time-displayed mode.
The technical solutions of the present application for solving the technical problems are as follows:
In one aspect, a double-sided watch is provided, including a watchcase and a watchband connected with the watchcase, wherein a first display surface and a second display surface are fixed opposite to each other on the watchcase, with watch hands arranged on the first display surface and a digital display module arranged on the second display surface; the watchband comprises a first strap and a second strap, wherein the first strap and the second strap are correspondingly arranged on two opposite sides of the watchcase, with through-holes defined in the first strap at intervals and a strap buckle matching with the through-holes arranged on the second strap. As a time-displayed surface with the watch hands and a time-displayed surface with the digital display module are respectively arranged on corresponding two display surfaces of the watchcase in the double-sided watch of the present application, the time-displayed mode of the double-sided watch of the present application is various to meet diversified requirements. Moreover, the present application adopts the watchband, and therefore it is convenient to realize the exchange of display surface directly through changing the fitting way between the front side and the rear side of the watchband. Also, the present application has advantages of simple and firm configuration, as well as a long service life.
In one embodiment, the strap buckle includes a fibula, a connecting pole connected with the fibula and roller blocking poles correspondingly arranged on two opposite sides of the connecting pole, wherein the connecting pole is connected to the second strap, the fibula is configured corresponding to the roller blocking poles, and the fibula matches with the through-holes. As the roller blocking poles matching with the fibula are arranged at the two opposite sides of the fibula, thus it can be achieved via changing a fixing method of the strap buckle to change the display surface of the double-sided watch of the present, when it is needs to be changed. Therefore, the double-sided watch of the present application has a simple and firm configuration, and is convenient to use.
In further embodiments, a shrink-ring is arranged on the second strap; the second strap is sheathed with the shrink-ring; and the shrink-ring matches with the first strap. It is possible for a protrusive portion of the first strap to be fixed, for the shrink-ring matching with the first strap is arranged on the second strap. Therefore, the double-sided watch of the present application has a good practicability.
In further embodiments, an engaging lug can be arranged on the watchcase, and a hinge matching with the engaging lug is arranged on the watchband. The practicability of the double-sided watch of the present application can be enhanced, for the watchband and the watchcase are movably connected via the hinge and the engaging lug.
The present application will be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments in the following:
The watchband 2 comprises a first strap 21 and a second strap 22, which are correspondingly arranged on two opposite sides of the watchcase 1. As shown in the figures, the first strap 21 is arranged on a lower side of the watchcase 1, while the second strap 22 is arranged on an upper side of the watchcase 1. An engaging lug 13 is arranged on the watchcase 1, and a hinge 23 matching with the engaging lug 13 is arranged on the watchband 2. As shown in the figures, a connecting point between the engaging lug 13 and the watchband 2 is located at the middle of an end portion of the watchband 2. A connecting hole is defined in the engaging lug 13, and a spindle of the hinge 23 arranged on the watchband 2 passes through the connecting hole of the engaging lug 3 to achieve movable connection between the watchcase 1 and the watchband 2. A winding stem 14 is arranged on the side surface of the watchcase 1, and time shown on the time-displayed surface with the watch hands as well as on the time-displayed surface with the digital display module can be adjusted via the winding stem 14. Patterns can be arranged on the front surface and the rear surface of the watchband 2, which can beautify an appearance of the double-sided watch of the present application and can make the watchband softer to improve wearing comfort.
Through-holes 211 are defined in the first strap 21 at intervals; a strap buckle 221 matching with the through-holes 211 is configured on the second strap 22. The strap buckle 221 includes a fibula 2211, a connecting pole 2212 connected with the fibula 2211 and roller blocking poles 2213 correspondingly arranged on two opposite sides of the connecting pole 2212. The roller blocking poles 2213 arranged on two opposite sides of the connecting pole 2212 are parallel to the connecting pole 2212, and the lengths of the roller blocking poles 2213 and connecting pole 2212 are equal. Two terminals of the connecting pole 2212 are correspondingly welded to two terminals of the roller blocking poles 2213 via connecting rods, that is, the connecting pole 2212, the roller blocking poles 2213 and the connecting rods are connected to form a structure shaped as a rectangle frame with a transverse horizontal rod. An end portion of the second strap 22 sheathes the connecting pole 2212, and is movably connected with the connecting pole 2212, that is, the connecting pole 2212 can rotate. An end portion of the fibula 2211 sheathes the middle portion of the connecting pole 2212, and is movably connected with the connecting pole 2212, the other end portion of the fibula 2211 matches with the roller blocking poles 2213; a metal ring is mounted on the roller blocking poles 2213. The fibula 2211 matches with the through-holes 211, that is, the match of the fibula 2211 and the roller blocking poles 2213 can fix the position of the through-hole 221 as well as the first strap 21. The roller blocking poles 2213 are arranged at two opposite sides of the connecting pole 2212, so no matter whether a time-displayed surface with the watch hands or a time-displayed surface with the digital display module of the double-sided watch of the present application is adopted or not, connection and fixation of the first strap 21 and the second strap 22 can be achieved via the strap buckle 221 and the through-holes 211.
When the first strap 21 and the second strap 22 are connected and fixed via cooperation of the strap buckle 221 and the through-holes 211, the first strap 21 usually protrudes to some degree. In order to improve practicability of the double-sided watch of the present application, a shrink-ring 222 configured for fixing a protrusive portion of the first strap 21 is arranged on the second strap 22. The second strap 22 is sheathed with the shrink-ring 222, and the shrink-ring 222 matches with the first strap 21, which can achieve that the protrusive portion of the first strap 21 can be fixed by the shrink-ring 222, and the first strap 21 can be convenient to pull out of the shrink-ring 222. Thus, the wearing and detaching of the double-sided watch of the present application can be convenient to achieve, and different display surfaces can be convenient to change.
In this embodiment, location and connection relationships of corresponding components of the watchcase 1 and corresponding elements of the watchband 2 are the same as that in the first embodiment.
