[0035] Firstly, the test piece is manually placed in the single spindle detection device 114, then the servo motor 103 is rotated, so that a sealed space is formed in the single spindle detection device 114, at this time, the initial state data of the test piece is detected by the single spindle control device 112, then the negative pressure generating device 113 is started, and the negative pressure state is maintained for 90 seconds, the negative pressure state data of the test piece is detected by the single spindle control device 112, finally, the negative pressure state data and the initial state data are compared, if the data has no change, it is determined that the test piece is unqualified, if the data shows a change, it is determined that the test piece is qualified, and finally the qualified test piece enters the collection frame 115.

[0036] Specifically, if the watch sealing performance is not good under the negative pressure state, the glass of the watch will not sink, or the glass sinks at the beginning of the pressure, but quickly recovers; if the watch glass can always maintain the sinking state when maintaining the negative pressure state for 90 seconds, it indicates that the watch sealing performance is good. When the watch sealing performance is good, the watch glass is in a slight deformation state under the negative pressure state, and when it returns to the normal pressure environment, the watch glass can recover to the original state, and the single spindle control device 112 can detect the pressure formed by the deformation state, so the negative pressure state data detected by the single spindle control device 112 will change; on the contrary, if the sealing performance is not good, the data will not change.

[0037] Please refer to Figure 3The single-spindle detection device 114 comprises a detection box 1141, a passage 1144 is arranged in the detection box 1141, two branches are arranged on the passage 1144, the two branches are a defective product screening chamber 1145 and a qualified product screening chamber 1147 respectively, the defective product screening chamber 1145 is communicated with a drawer 1146, the drawer 1146 is movably arranged in the detection box 1141, the qualified product screening chamber 1147 is communicated with a collection frame 115, and an electric cylinder 1148 is arranged on the detection box 1141.
