In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used to distinguish in the description and have no special meaning.

[0042] During the assembly of the watch case, the auxiliary materials need to be fixed in the product. The auxiliary materials are provided with adhesive backing. After the auxiliary materials are placed in the product, the adhesive backing is activated by heating the auxiliary materials, and the auxiliary materials are pressed to fix the auxiliary materials in the product. In the prior art, manual operation is usually required to complete the above process, which has low efficiency and low precision, and the operator is at risk of being scalded.

[0043] In order to solve the above problems, Figure 1-Figure 3As shown, this embodiment provides a hot pressing assembly module 1, which includes a hot pressing mechanism 11, a clamping mechanism 12 and a positioning assembly 13. The hot pressing mechanism 11 includes a clamping assembly, which can move along the Z-axis direction and can be heated. The clamping mechanism 12 includes a clamping assembly and a heating platform 122. The clamping assembly is used to clamp the product to fix the product on the heating platform 122. The positioning assembly 13 includes a receiving groove 1321, which is opposite to the heating platform 122. The auxiliary material is placed in the receiving groove 1321. The clamping assembly can be pressed down along the Z-axis direction to press the auxiliary material against the product.

[0044] During hot pressing assembly, a clamping assembly is used to clamp the product so that the product is fixed on the heating platform 122. At this time, the product is located between the heating platform 122 and the accommodating groove 1321, and the accommodating groove 1321 is facing the product. The auxiliary material is placed in the accommodating groove 1321, and the adhesive backing of the auxiliary material is facing the product. Then the clamping assembly is heated and pressed down along the Z-axis direction to press the auxiliary material against the product, and the heating platform 122 also starts to heat. The heat of the clamping assembly and the heating platform 122 is transferred to the auxiliary material, quickly activating its viscosity. Under the pressure of the clamping assembly, the auxiliary material is pressed tightly against the surface of the product to give full play to the viscosity of the adhesive backing, thereby achieving a firm combination of the auxiliary material and the product. Compared with traditional manual operation, this hot pressing assembly module 1 can automatically complete the heating, pressing and fixing process of auxiliary materials, significantly shortening the assembly time and reducing production costs; the accommodating groove 1321 of the positioning component 13 is arranged directly opposite the heating platform 122, providing a precise placement position for the auxiliary materials, avoiding errors that may be caused by manual operation, and ensuring the accuracy of assembly; the operator does not need to directly contact high-temperature objects, thereby reducing operational risks and ensuring the safety of the operator.

[0045] Specifically, Figure 1 , Figure 3 As shown, the pressing assembly includes a pressing block 1111 and a first heating element 1112 connected to the pressing block 1111, and the first heating element 1112 can heat the pressing block 1111. The first heating element 1112 transfers heat to the pressing block 1111 by heat conduction, and the surface temperature of the pressing block 1111 rises after being heated, thereby transferring heat to the auxiliary material.

[0046] In this embodiment, the pressing block 1111 is a brass block. The brass block has excellent thermal conductivity. During the hot pressing assembly process, the brass block can quickly absorb and transfer the heat from the first heating element 1112, which helps to improve the assembly efficiency and shorten the heating time.

[0047] Specifically, Figure 1 , Figure 3As shown, the heating platform 122 includes a second heating element 1221, which can heat the heating platform 122.

After being heated, the surface temperature of the heating platform 122 rises, thereby transferring heat to the product.

[0048] Specifically, the pressing assembly further includes a temperature sensor (not shown in the figure), which is used to monitor the temperature of the pressing block 1111. The temperature sensor can monitor the temperature of the pressing block 1111 in real time to ensure that the hot pressing process is carried out within a set temperature range and to ensure the stability of the hot pressing process.

The pressure sensor 116 can monitor the pressure of the pressing block 1111 in real time to ensure that the pressing process is carried out within a set pressure range, and by adjusting the pressure parameters, it can be ensured that the pressure applied by the pressing block 1111 is neither too large to cause damage to components nor too small to affect the pressing effect.

[0050] In this embodiment, if Figure 1 As shown, the hot pressing mechanism 11 further includes a first driving member 112, which is configured to drive the pressing assembly to move along the Z-axis direction.

One of the mounting frame 113 and the clamping assembly is provided with the sliding rail 1141, and the other is provided with the slider 1142. The sliding match between the sliding rail 1141 and the slider 1142 provides precise guidance for the clamping assembly, ensuring that its motion trajectory in the Z-axis direction is stable and accurate, which helps to reduce hot pressing quality problems caused by motion deviation.

[0053] In some embodiments, a slide rail 1141 is provided on the mounting frame 113, and a slider 1142 is provided on the pressing assembly; in other embodiments, a slider 1142 is provided on the mounting frame 113, and a slide rail 1141 is provided on the pressing assembly.

The two first clamping blocks 1211 are moved closer to each other to clamp the product, so that the product can be fixedly placed on the heating platform 122, that is, its relative position with the heating platform 122 remains unchanged.

[0055] In this embodiment, if Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, two first clamping blocks 1211 are spaced apart along the X-axis direction, wherein one of the first clamping blocks 1211 is fixedly disposed on the mounting plate 123, and the other first clamping block 1211 is connected to the output end of the second driving member 124, and the fixed end of the second driving member 124 is fixed on the mounting plate 123, and the second driving member 124 can drive the other first clamping block 1211 to move along the X-axis direction to clamp or release the product.

[0056] Furthermore, if Figure 1 , Figure 2As shown, the clamping assembly also includes a second clamping block 1212, which is opposite to the heating platform 122, and the second clamping block 1212 can move closer to or farther from the heating platform 122 to clamp or loosen the product.

Specifically, the camera 141 and the display screen 142 are both arranged on the mounting plate 123.

[0058] Specifically, Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the positioning component 13 includes a base 131 and a positioning accessory 132.
