Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of watch production, in particular to a movement assembling device for producing electronic watches. Background Art

[0002] An electronic watch is a timekeeping device worn on the wrist that uses electronic technology to display the time. Compared with traditional mechanical watches, electronic watches usually have higher time accuracy and more functions, such as alarm clocks, timers, calendar displays, etc. Modern electronic watches may also include smart functions such as health monitoring, GPS positioning, Bluetooth connection, etc. The movement of an electronic watch is the core component of the watch, which is responsible for driving the watch to operate. The movement of an electronic watch usually includes batteries, circuit boards, motors, gear sets, and display devices. The battery provides energy for the watch, the circuit board controls the flow of current, the motor converts electrical energy into mechanical energy, and the gear set is responsible for transmitting the rotational motion of the motor to the pointer to display the time. The display device of an electronic watch can be a traditional pointer type or a digital display. With the development of technology, the movement of electronic watches has become increasingly miniaturized and energy-efficient, and many additional functions have been added, such as timing, alarm clocks, temperature display, etc.

[0003] Traditional electronic watch movement assembly is a delicate and complex process involving multiple steps and components. Here is an overview of the assembly process: Prepare components: First, you need to prepare all the necessary movement components, including gears, springs, circuit boards, batteries, cases, dials, hands, etc. Assemble the gear train: Arrange the gears in the designed order and make sure they can mesh smoothly. Usually, the smallest gear is connected to the second hand, while the largest gear is connected to the hour hand. Install the battery and circuit board: Place the battery in the designated position of the movement and fix the circuit board. The circuit board is responsible for controlling the electronic functions of the watch, such as timing, alarm, etc. Adjust and test: During the assembly process, the gap and position of the gears need to be constantly adjusted to ensure that they are not too tight or loose to ensure the accuracy of the watch. Install the case and dial: Put the assembled movement into the case and install the dial. The dial is usually marked with numbers or scales to indicate the time. Install the hands: Finally, install the hour, minute, and second hands to the corresponding axes of the movement and ensure that they can indicate the time correctly. Completion inspection: A comprehensive inspection of the assembled watch, including waterproof test, time accuracy test, etc., to ensure that the watch meets the quality standards. The entire assembly process requires a high degree of precision and meticulous work to ensure the performance and reliability of the electronic watch.

[0004] There are some defects in the traditional assembly process of electronic watch movements, mainly including: Low efficiency of manual assembly: Since many assembly steps rely on manual operation, this leads to low production efficiency and is difficult to meet the needs of large-scale production. Accuracy consistency problem: Manual assembly is difficult to ensure that the accuracy of each watch movement is completely consistent, which may affect the performance and reliability of the watch. Difficult quality control: Manual assembly is easily affected by the operator's skill level and fatigue, resulting in unstable quality control. High cost: Due to the need for a large amount of human resources, the cost of traditional assembly methods is relatively high, especially in areas where labor costs are rising. Slow innovation and improvement: Manual assembly limits the standardization and automation of the production process, which makes it more difficult to introduce new technologies and improve designs. Poor adaptability to the environment: In harsh environments such as humidity and dust, the accuracy and efficiency of manual assembly will be greatly affected.

[0005] The traditional assembly process of electronic watch movements often requires a lot of manual operations, which is not only inefficient, but also prone to problems such as low assembly precision and case displacement due to human factors.
