The clamping assembly 42 is arranged at the rotating end of the flip mechanism 41 to flip the product on the top adsorption module 3. During the first inspection, after the product completes the inspection of the four surfaces on the top and the surroundings, the product is flipped and the inspection of the bottom surface of the product is completed by adding an automatic flip module 4, and finally the shooting inspection of the six surfaces of the product is completed. In this embodiment, the flip mechanism 41 is a rotary motor. When the clamping assembly 42 clamps the product, the rotary motor drives the clamping assembly 42 to rotate, thereby realizing a 180-degree flip of the product.

[0057] Step 1: Place the watch and rotate it to the test waiting position; Step 2: The upper adsorption module 3 adsorbs the top of the watch to the reflector module 2 and closes the shading plate 233. The camera unit 11 reflects through the reflector 22 to perform an appearance inspection on the surrounding and top surfaces of the watch; Step 3: The upper adsorption module 3 adsorbs the watch and descends to the position of the flip module 4 to flip the watch; Step 4: The upper adsorption module 3 adsorbs the watch and rises to the reflector module 2 to perform an appearance inspection on the last surface.

[0058] This embodiment also provides a watch detection system, which includes a controller module and an appearance detection device. The camera module 1 and the upper adsorption module 3 are both electrically connected to the controller module, which solves the great visual fatigue in manual observation.

[0059] The watch inspection system provided by the present invention adopts the upper adsorption module 3 to automatically transport and the camera module 1 to automatically inspect the appearance of the watch, which saves manpower, improves the efficiency of appearance inspection, unifies product standards, makes the inspection results more reliable, and is conducive to the mass production of watches.
