[0019] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0020] (1) The present invention places the watch hands to be processed between a pair of clamping rods, and allows the clamping block to be clamped in the middle hole of the watch hands, with the end inserted into the notch at the end of the watch hands. Next, driven by the power of a micro DC servo motor, the micro double-headed lead screw starts to work, and under the action of the two opposite threaded teeth of the micro double-headed lead screw, the pair of clamping rods are prompted to slowly move toward each other until they fit tightly. In this process, the clamping block and the protrusion will be accurately embedded in the preset notches on the other pair of clamping rods. This double locking mechanism not only firmly clamps the watch hands, but also achieves precise limiting and fixing of their position, effectively avoiding the position deviation of the hands during processing, thereby significantly improving the overall processing quality;

[0022] (3) The present invention starts the micro-lifting cylinder inside the lifting seat, and uses the rod of the micro-lifting cylinder to drive the clamping seat and the height of the watch hand to be processed to rise until the top surface of the watch hand to be processed fits with the fine grinding mold, so that the servo DC motor drives the fixed block and the fine grinding mold to rotate and grinds the surface of the watch hand; similarly, the micro-lifting cylinder is used to fit the bottom surface of the watch hand to be processed with the fine grinding mold, and the bottom surface of the watch hand is ground. This design eliminates the need to adjust the position of the grinding wheel and the angle of the watch hand multiple times, reduces the processing steps, and thus improves the overall processing efficiency and the quality of the finished product. In addition, by using the sound-absorbing material filled inside the sound-absorbing board, setting a rubber sound insulation strip at the mouth of the processing chamber and double-layer tempered glass, the sealing performance can be improved, which greatly effectively reduces the noise generated during processing.

This part is the prior art, and the working principle has been disclosed. The application document only improves the shortcomings of the existing grinding device during the grinding process, that is, the position of the grinding wheel and the angle of the pointer need to be adjusted many times, the operation is relatively cumbersome, and it is easy to cause the position of the pointer to shift, thereby affecting the overall processing efficiency and the quality of the finished product. It does not involve other aspects; the working principle of the grinding device for the production of watch hands is introduced as follows:

[0048] When the present invention is installed and used;

[0049] Step 1: The on-site staff selects a suitable fine grinding mold 32 according to the specifications of the watch hands, inserts the side of the fine grinding mold 32 into the slot 303, and installs it on the fixing block 301 through the fixing bolt 302 to realize the disassembly and assembly of the fine grinding mold 32;

[0050] Step 2: On-site staff will place the watch hands to be processed between a pair of clamping rods 421, and let the clamping block 422 be stuck in the middle hole of the watch hands, and the tip will be inserted into the notch at the end of the watch hands. Next, driven by the power of the micro DC servo motor 44, the micro double-headed screw 42 starts to work. Under the action of the two opposite threaded teeth of the micro double-headed screw 42, the pair of clamping rods 421 are prompted to slowly move toward each other until they fit tightly. In this process, the clamping block 422 and the protrusion 423 will be accurately embedded in the preset notch 424 on the other pair of clamping rods 421. This double locking mechanism not only firmly clamps the watch hands, but also realizes the precise limit and fixation of their position, effectively avoiding the position deviation of the hands during processing, thereby significantly improving the overall processing quality;

[0051] Step 3: According to the specifications of the hands of each batch of clocks and watches, adjust the position of the prompt component 6 on the translation guide rod 24. After the position is determined, the micro-lifting cylinder 46 is used to provide power to drive the translation seat 3 and the fine grinding mold 32 to move along the preset path. When the side contact block 63 of the translation seat 3 touches the elastic contact switch 62, this signal will immediately trigger the control system, light up the prompt light 21, and clearly indicate that the specified position has been reached;

[0052] Step 4: Start the micro-lifting cylinder 46 inside the lifting seat 4, and use the rod of the micro-lifting cylinder 46 to drive the clamping seat 41 and the height of the watch needle to be processed to rise until the top surface of the watch needle to be processed fits with the fine grinding mold 32, so that the servo DC motor 33 drives the fixed block 301 and the fine grinding mold 32 to rotate, and grind the surface of the needle; similarly, use the micro-lifting cylinder 46 to fit the bottom surface of the watch needle to be processed with the fine grinding mold 32, and grind the bottom surface of the needle. This design does not need to adjust the position of the grinding wheel and the angle of the needle many times, reduces the processing steps, and thus improves the overall processing efficiency and product quality. In addition, by using the sound-absorbing material filled in the sound-absorbing board 5, setting the rubber sound insulation strip 51 and the double-layer tempered glass 23 at the mouth of the processing chamber 2, the sealing performance can be improved, which can greatly and effectively reduce the noise generated during processing.

[0053] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical method of the present invention rather than to limit it.
