Description

Technical Field

[0002] The speed regulating system is the core part of a mechanical watch, which is equivalent to the "heart" of the human body and directly determines the performance of a mechanical watch. The speed regulating system is mainly composed of a hairspring and a balance wheel. The hairspring is an elastic element. The hairspring generates a stable oscillation cycle through vibration to determine the accuracy of the watch. For a mechanical watch, the basic requirements for the hairspring include stable elastic properties, less elastic hysteresis, smaller thermal expansion coefficient, good anti-magnetic and anti-corrosion properties, equal pitch, and the center of gravity of the hairspring should be consistent with its geometric center as much as possible. However, due to the daily wear of mechanical watches, they may encounter bumps or even falls from high altitudes and external impacts. The above impacts will affect the speed regulating system, especially the slender hairspring may be subjected to plastic deformation due to the impact force that exceeds its tolerance, thereby affecting the accuracy of the watch. At present, the hairspring needs to be tested for its impact resistance before leaving the factory.

In other words, the test tray 100 can accommodate multiple test units at the same time, so as to simultaneously perform impact resistance tests on multiple speed regulating components 10 to improve the test efficiency. The step 111 can be an annular boss fixed to the inner wall of the mounting hole 110, or a plurality of protrusions distributed along an annular path on the inner wall of the mounting hole 110 to provide a test substrate 200 installation point. The test unit includes a test substrate 200, a swing clamp 300, a shock absorbing unit 400 and a stop assembly 500, and the test substrate 200 is received in the mounting hole 110 and fixedly connected to the upper surface of the step 111 to prevent the test substrate 200 from loosening during the test operation. The upper surface of the test substrate 200 is provided with a groove 210 for receiving and fixing the balance wheel 101, and a recessed groove 220 for receiving the double disc 104 is provided at the center of the bottom surface of the groove 210, and a middle hole 230 is provided at the center of the bottom surface of the recessed groove 220, which penetrates the lower surface of the test substrate 200 and is used to insert the lower shaft tip of the balance shaft 102. It can be understood that the groove 210, the recessed groove 220 and the middle hole 230 together constitute a stepped hole penetrating the upper and lower surfaces of the test substrate 200. In this way, through the various levels of steps in the stepped hole (the bottom surface of the groove 210 and the bottom surface of the recessed groove 220), the corresponding parts of the speed regulation component 10 can be supported and limited. The bottom surface of the sink 220 is provided with a positioning hole 240 which penetrates the lower surface of the test substrate 200 and is used to insert the disc nail 105.

The speed needle 530 is a device for adjusting the timing speed of the watch, which can adjust the movement cycle of the balance wheel 101 by changing the effective length of the hairspring 103, thereby adjusting the timing speed of the watch. In this embodiment, the speed needle 530 is used to connect the shock absorber and the inner clamp 540, the speed needle 530 and the inner clamp 540 are fixed as a whole, and the outer pile 520 and the outer pile ring 510 are fixed as a whole.

[0042] The test support plate 100 is used to support each test unit so that multiple speed regulating components 10 are tested in batches. In the present embodiment, the test support plate 100 is a rectangular plate-like structure, which is made of aluminum alloy material with a lighter density. The upper surface of the test support plate 100 is provided with four mounting holes 110 arranged in a square array, and the cross section of the mounting hole 110 is circular. A disc-shaped test substrate 200 is installed on the step 111 of each mounting hole 110, so that four speed regulating components 10 are tested simultaneously. Preferably, the length of the test support plate 100 is 80mm and the width is 50mm. The diameter of the test substrate 200 is 20mm, and the test substrate 200 is made of metal copper. When actually processing, the diameter of the test substrate 200 and the length and width of the test support plate 100 can be determined according to the size comprehensive value of the mechanical movement speed regulating component 10 to be tested and the control mechanism (swing clamp 300, shock-absorbing unit 400 and limit assembly 500).

[0043] A plurality of countersunk holes 250 are evenly provided at the edge of the upper surface of the test substrate 200, and the mechanical movement impact resistance test tooling also includes a plurality of first fixing screws 600, each of which passes through each countersunk hole 250 and is inserted into the step 111. Furthermore, a screw hole connected to the countersunk hole 250 is provided on the step 111, and the bottom of the first fixing screw 600 is inserted into the screw hole and is threadedly connected to the step 111. By providing the countersunk hole 250 at the edge of the upper surface of the test substrate 200, when the first fixing screw 600 is locked in the countersunk hole 250 and the screw hole, the screw head of the first fixing screw 600 is located in the countersunk hole 250, so that the test substrate and the test pallet are fixedly connected and the test substrate 200 is prevented from loosening during the test process, while reducing the collision of the screw head of the first fixing screw with the operator. Preferably, in this embodiment, three countersunk holes 250 are evenly formed at the edge of the upper surface of the test substrate 200 , and the test substrate 200 is fastened to the test support plate 100 by three first fixing screws 600 .

[0044] Furthermore, the upper surface of the test substrate 200 is evenly provided with a plurality of first threaded holes 260 surrounding the groove 210 at locations adjacent to the groove 210.

At the same time, by fixing the balance wheel 101, the impact force of the test process can be directly applied to the hairspring 103 to test the bearing capacity of the hairspring 103. Preferably, three first threaded holes 260 surrounding the groove 210 are evenly opened on the upper surface of the test substrate 200 adjacent to the groove 210, and the balance wheel 101 is fixed in the groove 210 by three second fixing screws 700 to ensure that the balance wheel 101 is evenly stressed and prevent the balance wheel 101 from loosening.
