1. A watch band (1), comprising:
a plurality of sequentially connected chain elements (2), wherein a connecting portion (27) and a connecting groove (28) are provided on each of the chain elements (2), and the connecting portion (27) is connected to the connecting groove (28) on an adjacent chain element of the plurality of sequentially connected chain elements (2) by means of a connecting mechanism;
the connecting mechanism comprises a shifting block assembly (29) and two ejector pin assemblies (30) symmetrically provided at two sides of the shifting block assembly;
an accommodating cavity (5) and a placement groove (17) penetrating the accommodating cavity (5) are provided on the connecting portion (27);
two oppositely arranged apertures (18) are provided on the connecting groove (28);
the shifting block assembly (29) is located in the accommodating cavity (5) and the two ejector pin assemblies (30) are located in the placement groove (17);
a retaining assembly (12) is provided between the two ejector pin assemblies (30) so that one end of each of the ejector pin assemblies (30) extends from the placement groove (17) and is inserted into the aperture (18) on another adjacent connecting groove (28) to form a state of connection between two adjacent chain elements (2);
the shifting block assembly (29) slides horizontally in the accommodating cavity (5) and moves away from the two ejector pin assemblies (30), and the one end of each of the ejector pin assemblies (30) inserted into the aperture (18) on another adjacent connecting groove (28) is retracted by a drive assembly from the aperture (18) into the placement groove (17) to change the state of connection between two adjacent chain elements (2) to a state of disconnection; and
the two ejector pin assemblies (30) compress the retaining assembly (12) when the state of connection between two adjacent chain elements (2) is changed to the state of disconnection, so as to provide a force for resetting the shifting block assembly (29).
