Abstract

A waterproof bezel, a light-transmissive watch panel, and a watch protection case are provided. The watch protection case includes a watch screen protection panel, a waterproof bezel, and a housing. The housing is provided with a clamping groove, such that the watch screen protection panel is quickly mounted to the housing. The waterproof bezel includes a first bezel body and a second bezel body that are connected along an axial direction of the waterproof bezel. The first bezel body can bond the watch screen protection panel. The second bezel body can abut against a watch screen. An acute angle is formed between the second bezel body and the first bezel body. A deformation space is formed between a portion of the first bezel body and a portion of the second bezel body that form the acute angle.

Claims (8)

1. A waterproof bezel, comprising a first bezel body and a second bezel body, wherein the first bezel body and the second bezel body are connected along an axial direction of the waterproof bezel; an acute angle is formed between the first bezel body and the second bezel body; a deformation space is formed between a portion of the first bezel body and portion of the second bezel body, wherein the portion of the first bezel body and the portion of the second bezel body form the acute angle; the first bezel body is configured to bond a watch screen protection panel; and the second bezel body is configured to abut against a watch screen, wherein the deformation space is located at an outer side of the waterproof bezel; an inner surface of the second bezel body is a conical surface; and in a direction from the second bezel body to the first bezel body along the axial direction of the waterproof bezel, an inner diameter of the conical surface is decreased gradually.

2. The waterproof bezel according to claim 1 , wherein the first bezel body is provided with a first connecting surface; the first connecting surface is provided at a side of the first bezel body adjacent to the second bezel body; the first connecting surface is perpendicular to the axial direction of the waterproof bezel; a side of the second bezel body facing away from the conical surface is provided with a second connecting surface; and the first connecting surface and the second connecting surface are arranged in the acute angle and form the deformation space.

3. The waterproof bezel according to claim 2 , wherein a circumferential contour of the conical surface is same as an outer contour of the watch screen;

the second bezel body is mounted on the watch screen, the conical surface abuts against the watch screen, and contact points between the conical surface and the watch screen form a circumferentially closed annular shape; and the watch screen continues to squeeze the conical surface, the second bezel body deforms and accumulates an elasticity, an included angle between the second connecting surface and the first connecting surface is decreased, and the deformation space is decreased, such that the conical surface has an increased abutting elasticity against the watch screen, and a contact area between the conical surface and the watch screen is increased.

4. The waterproof bezel according to claim 2 , wherein the second connecting surface is a circumferentially closed structure along the second bezel body; and each position of the second connecting surface is parallel to the corresponding conical surface, such that the second connecting surface and the conical surface have a same degree of deformation.

5. A light-transmissive watch panel, comprising the watch screen protection panel and the waterproof bezel according to claim 1 , wherein the first bezel body is bonded to the watch screen protection panel.

6. A watch protection case, comprising a housing and the light-transmissive watch panel according to claim 5 , wherein a light-transmissive window and a light-transmissive port are sequentially provided from a front surface of the housing to a back surface of the housing;

and the watch screen protection panel is fixedly provided on an inner wall of the light-transmissive port.
