Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of automated equipment, and particularly to a watch testing machine. Background Art

[0002] In the process of watch manufacturing, ensuring the functionality and appearance quality of watches is a crucial step. Traditional watch testing equipment can usually only test a single function, such as the crown rotation function or the light source signal test of the ALS chip.

[0076] To make the objectives, features, and advantages of the present invention more obvious and understandable, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described below are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0077] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that when a component is considered to be "connected" to another component, it can be directly connected to the other component or there may be intermediate components present at the same time. When a component is considered to be "disposed on" another component, it can be directly disposed on the other component or there may be intermediate components present at the same time.

[0078] In addition, terms such as "long", "short", "inner", "outer", etc. indicating orientation or positional relationships are based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention, rather than indicating or implying that the device or component referred to must have this specific orientation or be constructed and operated in this specific orientation. Therefore, it should not be construed as a limitation of the present invention.

[0079] Please refer to Figures 1-3, an embodiment of the present invention provides a watch testing machine, which has high integration and versatility. The watch testing machine mainly consists of core components such as a base 1, a carrier 2, a conveying mechanism 3, a crown rotation testing module 4, an ALS testing module 5, a first DVI testing module 6, and a second DVI testing module 7.

[0080] In terms of structural layout, the conveying mechanism 3, the crown rotation testing module 4, the ALS testing module 5, the first DVI testing module 6, and the second DVI testing module 7 are all precisely placed on the base 1, ensuring the stability and coordination of the entire testing machine structure. Further, the crown rotation testing module 4, the ALS testing module 5, the first DVI testing module 6, and the second DVI testing module 7 are arranged in a scientific and reasonable order along the conveying direction of the conveying mechanism 3 according to specific process requirements and testing procedures. This layout method not only optimizes the testing process but also improves the space utilization rate.

[0081] The carrier 2, as a key component for carrying the watch to be tested, is firmly set on the conveying mechanism 3. Its design fully considers the fixation and positioning requirements of the watch, ensuring the stability and accuracy of the watch during the testing process. The conveying mechanism 3 plays the role of a "transport messenger". Through an accurate transmission system, it conveys the carrier 2 and the watch it carries along a predetermined path, providing convenient conditions for subsequent various tests.

[0082] In terms of function realization, each testing module performs its own duties and works in cooperation. Specifically, the crown rotation testing module 4 conducts a special test on the crown rotation function of the watch. By simulating the rotation operation in the actual use scenario, it comprehensively evaluates the rotation functionality, flexibility, smoothness, and durability of the crown; the ALS testing module 5 focuses on the light source signal testing of the ALS chip inside the watch. Using advanced detection technologies and algorithms, it accurately measures and analyzes the light source signal emitted by the ALS chip to ensure the normal display function of the watch in the light environment; the first DVI testing module 6 and the second DVI testing module 7 together constitute an important line of defense for the appearance quality detection of the watch. Among them, the first DVI testing module 6 mainly detects whether there are scratches on the CG (Cover Glass) surface of the watch. Through high-precision image recognition and comparison technologies, it can accurately identify tiny scratches; while the second DVI testing module 7 is responsible for detecting whether there are appearance defects such as dust or stains on the CG surface of the watch. Through specific light source irradiation and image processing technologies, it can clearly present the cleanliness of the CG surface, providing strong data support for the appearance quality evaluation of the watch.

[0083] The watch testing machine proposed in the embodiments of the present invention integrates key testing functions such as the crown rotation testing module 4, the ALS testing module 5, the first DVI testing module 6, and the second DVI testing module 7 through a highly integrated design concept, achieving comprehensive, efficient, and accurate detection of the functions and appearance quality of watches. This integrated design not only significantly improves the testing efficiency, avoiding the time waste and inaccurate testing caused by multiple transfers of watches in the traditional decentralized testing method; at the same time, the orderly arrangement and automated operation of each testing module ensure the stability and repeatability of the testing process, reduce the interference of human factors, and further improve the accuracy of the testing results. In addition, the detailed detection functions of the first DVI testing module 6 and the second DVI testing module 7 can more meticulously evaluate the appearance quality of the watch, help to promptly discover potential problems in the production process, provide a powerful quality control means for watch manufacturers, thus effectively improving the product quality and production efficiency, and enhancing the market competitiveness of the enterprise.

[0084] Please refer to again Figures 1-2 , in an implementation manner of this embodiment, the watch testing machine also carefully adds a key component, the sealing cover 8.

[0085] The sealing cover 8 is integrally in a cover shape, and its shape and size are precisely designed to perfectly cover the base 1, forming a relatively independent and enclosed testing space. The material of the sealing cover 8 is a special alloy material with good sealing performance, stability, and durability, which can not only effectively isolate interference factors such as dust and moisture in the external environment, but also provide a stable operating environment for the internal testing modules, ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the testing results.

[0086] In the internal structure design of the sealing cover 8, three partition plates 9 are ingeniously arranged. These three partition plates 9 are all made of engineering plastics with high strength and low deformation, and their surfaces are finely polished to reduce the influence on the light propagation and signal transmission during the testing process. The three partition plates 9 divide the inner cavity of the sealing cover 8 into four independent compartments according to a specific spatial layout method. This partition design not only makes full use of the internal space of the sealing cover 8, but also provides relatively independent working areas for each testing module, avoiding mutual interference between different testing modules.

[0087] Specifically, the four core test components, namely, the crown rotation test module 4, the ALS test module 5, the first DVI test module 6, and the second DVI test module 7, are precisely placed in the corresponding compartment in sequence according to their functional characteristics and test process requirements. The size and shape of each compartment are specifically customized according to the placed test module, ensuring the installation stability and operation stability of the test module. At the same time, inside each compartment, corresponding infrastructure such as power interfaces and data transmission interfaces is also equipped, providing strong support for the normal operation of the test module.

[0088] To achieve the smooth passage of the conveying mechanism 3 inside the sealing cover 8 and the orderly connection between each test module, the sealing cover 8 and the partition 9 are respectively provided with through-holes through which the conveying mechanism 3 can pass through. The shape and size of these through-holes are precisely calculated and designed to ensure that the conveying mechanism 3 will not collide or rub against the sealing cover 8 and the partition 9 when passing through the through-holes, thus ensuring the continuity and stability of the test process. At the same time, at the edge of the through-hole, special sealing materials are used for treatment, effectively preventing dust and moisture in the external environment from entering the inside of the sealing cover 8 through the through-hole, further improving the sealing and stability of the test environment.

[0089] Through the above design, the watch testing machine in this embodiment not only ensures the comprehensiveness and accuracy of the test function but also has good sealing and stability, and can provide a more reliable and efficient test platform for the watch testing work.

[0090] Please refer to Figures 3-4 , in an implementation manner of this embodiment, a further optimized design is carried out for the through-hole, and an intelligent control component, namely, an automatic door 10, is particularly added.

[0091] The automatic door 10 is integrally made of high-strength and lightweight alloy material, and its surface is finely treated for anti-corrosion, with excellent durability and stability. The drive system of the automatic door 10 integrates advanced motors and transmission devices, and can achieve precise and rapid opening and closing actions. At the same time, in order to ensure the safety and reliability of the automatic door 10 during operation, perfect safety protection devices such as limit switches and anti-pinch sensors are also equipped.

[0092] In terms of structural design, the automatic door 10 is seamlessly docked with the through-opening. When the automatic door 10 is in the closed state, its door body exactly seals the through-opening completely. At this time, the carrier 2 on the conveying mechanism 3 will be blocked by the automatic door 10 during its forward movement, and thus cannot continue to be conveyed downstream. This blocking mechanism can effectively control the flow rhythm of the carrier 2, ensuring that only eligible carriers 2 can enter the corresponding test compartments for testing during a specific test stage, and avoiding test chaos and errors caused by the disorderly flow of the carrier 2.

[0093] When the test process requires the carrier 2 to continue to be conveyed downstream, the drive system of the automatic door 10 will receive the corresponding control signal and drive the automatic door 10 to open quickly. At this time, the through-opening is unobstructed, and the carrier 2 on the conveying mechanism 3 can pass through normally without obstruction and continue to be conveyed to the downstream test compartments or subsequent processes. This quick response ability of the automatic door 10 can ensure the continuity and efficiency of the test process, greatly improving the overall efficiency of watch testing.

[0094] In addition, the opening and closing states of the automatic door 10 are highly integrated with the control system of the entire watch testing machine. Through advanced sensor technology and intelligent algorithms, the control system can real-time monitor information such as the position and test progress of the carrier 2, and accurately control the opening and closing timing of the automatic door 10 according to the preset test process and rules. For example, when the test task in a certain test compartment is completed, the control system will automatically issue an instruction to open the corresponding automatic door 10 to allow the carrier 2 to enter the next test compartment; when a new carrier 2 is about to enter a certain test compartment, the control system will close the automatic door 10 of this compartment in advance to prepare for the upcoming test.

[0095] By setting the automatic door 10 at the through-opening, the watch testing machine in this embodiment not only realizes the precise control of the flow of the carrier 2, but also improves the automation degree and intelligent level of the test process.

[0096] Please refer to again Figures 3-4 In an implementation manner of this embodiment, a more refined and innovative design is carried out for the automatic door 10, and its core components include a drive cylinder 1001 and a light-shielding block 1002.

[0097] The driving cylinder 1001, as the power source of the automatic door 10, adopts high-precision and highly reliable pneumatic actuators. Its internal structure is reasonably designed and has good airtightness, ensuring that under the condition of stable input air pressure, it can output accurate and stable driving force. The outer shell material of the driving cylinder 1001 is made of high-strength aluminum alloy, which not only ensures the firmness of its structure but also reduces the overall weight, facilitating installation and maintenance. At the same time, in order to achieve precise control, the driving cylinder 1001 is equipped with advanced solenoid valves and position sensors, which can real-time feedback the position information of the light-shielding block 1002 and perform precise motion adjustment according to the instructions of the control system.

[0098] The light-shielding block 1002 is the key actuator for the automatic door 10 to achieve the opening and closing functions. Its material is selected as engineering plastic with good light-shielding performance and wear resistance. The shape and size of the light-shielding block 1002 are carefully designed to perfectly fit the shape of the through-hole, ensuring that in the closed state, it can effectively block the entry of light and external impurities, providing a relatively enclosed and stable space for the test environment. The surface of the light-shielding block 1002 has been specially treated, featuring smoothness and flatness, reducing the friction with the edge of the through-hole during the opening and closing process and extending the service life.

[0099] In terms of the connection method, a reliable mechanical connection structure is adopted between the driving cylinder 1001 and the light-shielding block 1002. Through precise connecting parts and positioning devices, it is ensured that the driving force output by the driving cylinder 1001 can be accurately and stably transmitted to the light-shielding block 1002, thereby realizing the opening and closing actions of the light-shielding block 1002 at the through-hole. Specifically, when the driving cylinder 1001 receives the opening instruction from the control system, its piston rod will quickly extend, pushing the light-shielding block 1002 upward to make the through-hole unobstructed, and the carrier 2 can pass through smoothly; when the driving cylinder 1001 receives the closing instruction, the piston rod will slowly retract, driving the light-shielding block 1002 downward to completely close the through-hole and block the continuous advancement of the carrier 2.

[0100] In addition, in order to further improve the stability and reliability of the automatic door 10, a buffer device is also provided at the connection between the driving cylinder 1001 and the light-shielding block 1002. This buffer device can effectively absorb the impact force generated during the opening and closing of the light-shielding block 1002, reduce the damage to the driving cylinder 1001 and the light-shielding block 1002, and at the same time reduce the noise generated during the opening and closing process.

[0101] By adopting the design method of combining the driving cylinder 1001 and the light-shielding block 1002, the automatic door 10 in this embodiment not only has the ability to open and close quickly and precisely but also has good light-shielding performance and stability.

[0102] Please refer to again Figures 3-4, in an implementation manner of this embodiment, a more comprehensive and innovative optimization design is carried out for the automatic door 10. In addition to the driving cylinder 1001 and the light-shielding block 1002, a key component, the light-shielding sponge 1003, is specially added.

[0103] As the core element for improving the sealing performance of the automatic door 10, the light-shielding sponge 1003 is made of a special sponge material with high elasticity, high density, and excellent light-shielding characteristics. This sponge material is processed through special techniques. It not only has good softness and resilience, can quickly deform to fit irregular surfaces under pressure, but also is not easy to age and deform during long-term use, and can always maintain stable performance. The color of the light-shielding sponge 1003 is usually in the dark color system to enhance its ability to absorb and block light. When the automatic door 10 is closed, it can effectively prevent the entry of external light and provide an absolutely dark and stable optical condition for the test environment.

[0104] In terms of the installation method, the light-shielding sponge 1003 is accurately set at the edge position of the light-shielding block 1002. The installation process uses an advanced bonding process. By using a special glue with high strength and aging resistance, the light-shielding sponge 1003 is firmly pasted on the edge of the light-shielding block 1002 to ensure that the light-shielding sponge 1003 will not fall off or shift during the opening and closing process of the automatic door 10. At the same time, in order to further improve the installation accuracy and stability of the light-shielding sponge 1003, a precise positioning device is also used during the installation process to accurately calibrate and fix the position of the light-shielding sponge 1003.

[0105] When the automatic door 10 is in the closed state, due to its high elasticity and softness, the light-shielding sponge 1003 can achieve a tight and uniform fit with the inner wall of the through-hole. This tight fit not only effectively blocks the leakage of light, prevents external light from interfering with the test environment, thus ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the test results; but also can play a sealing role to a certain extent, preventing external dust, moisture and other impurities from entering the test compartment, providing a clean and dry operating environment for the test equipment, and extending the service life of the equipment.

[0106] In addition, to ensure that the light-shielding sponge 1003 can maintain good performance under different environmental conditions, the influence of environmental factors was fully considered during the design and material selection process. For example, for the possible high-temperature and high-humidity environments, sponge materials with good high-temperature and humidity resistance were selected, and through special surface treatment processes, the corrosion resistance and wear resistance of the light-shielding sponge 1003 were improved. At the same time, in the design of the control system of the automatic door 10, corresponding protection mechanisms were also set up. When it is detected that parameters such as environmental temperature and humidity exceed the normal range, an alarm can be issued in a timely manner and corresponding measures can be taken to ensure that the performance of the light-shielding sponge 1003 is not affected.

[0107] Through the innovative design of adding the light-shielding sponge 1003, the automatic door 10 in this embodiment has been significantly improved in terms of light-shielding performance and sealing performance.

[0108] Please refer to again Figure 3 , in an implementation manner of this embodiment, to further improve the functional completeness and test accuracy of the watch testing machine, a key component, the lifting mechanism 11, was specially added.

[0109] The lifting mechanism 11, as an important part of the watch testing machine in this embodiment, the number of its settings is closely related to the requirements of specific test modules. Specifically, in the compartments where the first DVI test module 6 and the second DVI test module 7 are located, one lifting mechanism 11 is accurately configured in each. This layout design fully considers the working characteristics and space requirements of different test modules, ensuring that the lifting mechanism 11 can achieve efficient collaborative operation with the corresponding test modules.

[0110] From the perspective of the installation position, the lifting mechanism 11 is firmly set on the base 1. The base 1, as the basic support structure of the watch testing machine, has good stability and load-bearing capacity, and can provide a reliable installation platform for the lifting mechanism 11. During the installation process, high-precision positioning and fixing technologies were used to ensure that the connection between the lifting mechanism 11 and the base 1 is firm and reliable, and the position accuracy meets the design requirements. This not only ensures the stability of the lifting mechanism 11 during operation but also provides an accurate reference for subsequent lifting operations.

[0111] The core function of the lifting mechanism 11 is to perform a lifting operation on the carrier 2 located on the conveying mechanism 3. When the carrier 2 moves with the conveying mechanism 3 to the test compartment where the first DVI test module 6 or the second DVI test module 7 is located, the lifting mechanism 11 will start the lifting action according to the preset control signal. Its lifting process adopts advanced driving technology and precise transmission devices, enabling smooth and accurate lifting. During the lifting process, the lifting mechanism 11 can automatically adjust the lifting height and force according to the size and weight of the carrier 2 to ensure that the carrier 2 can accurately reach the test position matching the test module.

[0112] Through the lifting action of the lifting mechanism 11, the distance between the carrier 2 and the first DVI test module 6 or the second DVI test module 7 is precisely controlled, thus providing ideal test conditions for the test module. For example, during the DVI test, the lifting mechanism 11 can accurately lift the watch product on the carrier 2 to the position where it contacts the test probe or test interface, ensuring the stable transmission of test signals and the accurate acquisition of test data. At the same time, the lifting mechanism 11 also has the ability of rapid response and precise reset. When the test is completed, it can quickly lower the carrier 2 back onto the conveying mechanism 3 so that the carrier 2 can continue to be conveyed to the downstream process.

[0113] In addition, to ensure the reliable operation and long service life of the lifting mechanism 11, high-quality materials and advanced processes are adopted in the design and manufacturing process. For example, the key components of the lifting mechanism 11 are made of high-strength and wear-resistant alloy materials, and through special heat treatment and surface treatment processes, the hardness and corrosion resistance of the components are improved. At the same time, a perfect fault diagnosis and protection function is also set in the control system, which can monitor the operating state of the lifting mechanism 11 in real time. When an abnormal situation is detected, it can issue an alarm in time and take corresponding protection measures to avoid equipment damage and safety accidents.

[0114] By adding the lifting mechanism 11, the watch testing machine in this embodiment can more accurately control the position of the carrier 2 during the test process, improving the accuracy and reliability of the test. At the same time, the automated operation of the lifting mechanism 11 also greatly improves the test efficiency, reducing the cost and error of manual intervention.

[0115] Please refer to Figure 3 again, and in combination with reference to Figures 6-8 In an implementation manner of this embodiment, in order to effectively achieve more refined and efficient control of the lifting function of the watch testing machine, a comprehensive and innovative design is specifically carried out on the lifting mechanism 11. Its core component parts include the first lifting cylinder 1101, the second lifting cylinder 1102, the lifting plate 1103, the docking block 1104, the support column 1105, and the proximity sensor 1106.

[0116] The support column 1105 plays an important supporting role in the overall structure of the lifting mechanism 11. Its installation position is precisely located in the peripheral edge area of the lifting plate 1103. The material of the support column 1105 is selected as an alloy material with high strength and high hardness. Through precise processing technology, its surface is ensured to be smooth and flat, with excellent load-bearing capacity and stability. When the lifting mechanism 11 is in the initial state, the support column 1105 is at an appropriate height position. When the lifting mechanism 11 starts to work, as the lifting plate 1103 rises, the support column 1105 can accurately contact the carrier 2 located on the conveying mechanism 3 and provide a uniform and stable supporting effect on the carrier 2, preventing the carrier 2 from shaking or tilting during the test, thus ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the test.

[0117] The first lifting cylinder 1101, as one of the power driving components of the lifting mechanism 11, is firmly installed on the base 1. The first lifting cylinder 1101 adopts advanced pneumatic technology and has the characteristics of rapid response and precise control. Its telescopic end is reliably connected to the lifting plate 1103 through a high-precision connecting piece. When the first lifting cylinder 1101 receives the instruction from the control system, the piston inside it will quickly extend under the action of air pressure, pushing the lifting plate 1103 upward. During the lifting process, the first lifting cylinder 1101 can accurately control the rising height and speed of the lifting plate 1103 according to the preset stroke and pressure parameters, ensuring that the support column 1105 can accurately and smoothly contact the carrier 2 located on the conveying mechanism 3, laying a solid foundation for the subsequent test operation.

[0118] The second lifting cylinder 1102 is also arranged on the base 1 and works in coordination with the first lifting cylinder 1101 to jointly complete the various functions of the lifting mechanism 11. The telescopic end of the second lifting cylinder 1102 is tightly connected to the docking block 1104. The shape and size of the docking block 1104 are carefully designed to be able to accurately dock with a specific interface on the carrier 2. When the second lifting cylinder 1102 receives the control signal, its piston rod will extend, pushing the docking block 1104 upward to complete the docking action between the docking block 1104 and the carrier 2 located on the conveying mechanism 3. This docking method can not only ensure the stable and reliable electrical connection between the carrier 2 and the test module, but also realize the data transmission and signal interaction between the carrier 2 and the test module, providing a strong guarantee for the smooth progress of the test work.

[0119] The proximity sensor 1106, as an intelligent sensing component of the lifting mechanism 11, is also located on the base 1. The proximity sensor 1106 adopts advanced non-contact detection technology and can detect in real time and accurately whether the vehicle 2 has been transferred to the position where the lifting mechanism 11 is located. When the vehicle 2 moves with the conveying mechanism 3 into the detection range of the proximity sensor 1106, the proximity sensor 1106 will immediately send out a signal and transmit this signal to the control system. The control system judges whether the position of the vehicle 2 is accurate according to the received signal, and correspondingly controls the actions of the first lifting cylinder 1101 and the second lifting cylinder 1102 to ensure that the lifting mechanism 11 can lift and dock the vehicle 2 at the best time. The introduction of the proximity sensor 1106 greatly improves the automation degree and working efficiency of the lifting mechanism 11, and reduces manual intervention and human error.

[0120] Through the coordinated work of the above-mentioned components, the lifting mechanism 11 can achieve precise lifting and docking operations on the vehicle 2 in the watch testing machine, providing ideal testing conditions for the first DVI testing module 6 and the second DVI testing module 7.

[0121] Please refer to again Figure 3 and in combination with the reference Figures 9-10 In an implementation manner of this embodiment, the crown rotation testing module 4, as a key component specifically used for detecting the crown rotation function of a watch in the watch testing machine, has a scientific and reasonable overall structure and clear functional module division, and specifically includes a rotating motor 401, a probe module 402, a test board 403, a slide cylinder 404 and other core components.

[0122] The rotating motor 401 and the probe module 402 are ingeniously arranged on the slide cylinder 404 in terms of structural layout. This integrated design method not only effectively saves installation space, but also makes the coordinated work between components more efficient and convenient. The rotating motor 401, as a power output source, adopts high-performance servo motor technology and has excellent characteristics such as high precision, high speed and high torque. Its output shaft is tightly connected to the probe module 402 through a high-precision coupling. When the rotating motor 401 receives an instruction from the control system, the rotor inside it will rotate at a high speed under the action of the electromagnetic field, thereby driving the connected probe module 402 to perform synchronous rotational motion. This driving method can ensure that the probe module 402 maintains high stability and precision during rotation, providing a strong guarantee for the subsequent accurate testing of the watch crown.

[0123] The probe module 402, as a key component that directly contacts and tests the watch crown, takes full account of factors such as the shape, size, and material of the watch crown in its design. The probe module 402 adopts special elastic materials and a profiling design, enabling it to achieve a tight and stable socket connection with the crowns of different models of watches. Driven by the rotating motor 401, the probe module 402 can drive the watch crown to rotate at a preset angle and speed, simulating the crown operation of the watch during actual use. At the same time, high-precision force sensors and displacement sensors are integrated inside the probe module 402, which can real-time monitor parameters such as torque and angle during the crown rotation process, and accurately transmit this data to the control system for analysis and processing.

[0124] The sliding table cylinder 404, as the motion execution mechanism of the crown rotation test module 4, is firmly installed on the base 1. The sliding table cylinder 404 adopts advanced pneumatic control technology, featuring fast response and precise positioning. Its working principle is to change the pressure inside the cylinder to push the piston rod to perform linear motion, thereby driving the rotating motor 401 and the probe module 402 installed on it to move closer to or away from the watch. When a crown test is required, the sliding table cylinder 404 will drive the rotating motor 401 and the probe module 402 to move towards the watch, enabling the probe module 402 to accurately socket onto the watch crown; after the test is completed, the sliding table cylinder 404 will drive the rotating motor 401 and the probe module 402 to move away from the watch again, enabling the probe module 402 to be smoothly separated from the watch crown. This flexible motion mode not only improves the automation level of the test but also facilitates the loading and unloading operations of the watch.

[0125] The test board 403, as the data transmission and signal processing center of the crown rotation test module 4, is reliably connected to the probe module 402 through a dedicated data cable. High-performance microprocessors and signal conditioning circuits are integrated inside the test board 403, which can perform real-time processing and analysis on parameters such as torque and angle collected by the probe module 402. At the same time, the test board 403 also has the function of communicating with the internal circuit of the watch, and can establish an electrical connection with the watch through the probe module 402 to comprehensively test and evaluate the crown rotation function of the watch. During the test process, the test board 403 will analyze and judge the collected data according to the preset test standards and algorithms, and display the test results in an intuitive manner on the operation interface for the testers to view and analyze.

[0126] Through the collaborative work of the above-mentioned components, the crown rotation test module 4 can achieve precise and efficient testing of the crown rotation functions of different models of watches.

[0127] Please refer to again Figure 3 and in combination with the referenceFigures 11-12 In an implementation manner of this embodiment, the ALS test module 5 is a core component in the watch testing machine for accurately detecting the ambient light sensing function of the watch. Its overall design ingeniously integrates optical principles and mechanical structures, specifically including multiple key components such as the first bracket 501, spherical light source 502, light source cover 503, diffuser 504, and V-shaped light guide cover 505.

[0128] The first bracket 501 serves as the basic support structure of the ALS test module 5, and its installation position is precisely set on the base 1. The first bracket 501 is made of high-strength and high-stability aluminum alloy material, and through precise processing technology, it is ensured to have excellent bearing capacity and anti-deformation ability. The design of the first bracket 501 fully considers the connection stability with the base 1 and the installation compatibility with other components, providing a reliable guarantee for the stable operation of the entire ALS test module 5.

[0129] The spherical light source 502 serves as the light emission device of the ALS test module 5, and it is firmly fixed on the first bracket 501, and its position is precisely located directly above the conveying mechanism 3. The spherical light source 502 adopts advanced LED lighting technology and has excellent characteristics such as high brightness, high uniformity, and low energy consumption. It integrates multiple high-precision LED chips inside, and through reasonable optical design and circuit layout, it can achieve uniform and stable light emission, providing a high-quality light source guarantee for subsequent optical tests.

[0130] The light source cover 503 serves as a component for protecting and optically adjusting the spherical light source 502, and it is closely covered outside the spherical light source 502. The light source cover 503 adopts special material and structure design, which can not only effectively prevent external dust, debris, etc. from polluting and damaging the spherical light source 502, but also preliminarily adjust and optimize the light emitted by the spherical light source 502, making it more evenly irradiate the subsequent optical elements.

[0131] The diffuser 504 serves as a key component for further diffusing and homogenizing light, and it is firmly fixed at the light outlet of the light source cover 503. The diffuser 504 adopts high-precision optical materials and micro-structure design, which can evenly diffuse the light emitted by the spherical light source 502, eliminate the phenomena of light spots and uneven light intensity, and make the light irradiate the subsequent V-shaped light guide cover 505 more softly and evenly. The installation position and angle of the diffuser 504 have been precisely calculated and adjusted to ensure that it can achieve the best optical matching with the spherical light source 502 and the V-shaped light guide cover 505.

[0132] The V-shaped light guide cover 505, as an important component for concentrating light onto the watch, is ingeniously disposed outside the diffuser 504. The V-shaped light guide cover 505 adopts a special V-shaped structure design, with its large end facing the diffuser 504 and its small end facing the conveying mechanism 3. This design method can utilize the principles of optical reflection and refraction to effectively concentrate the light diffused by the diffuser 504 onto the watch on the carrier 2 located on the conveying mechanism 3, improving the light utilization efficiency and test accuracy. At the same time, the inner surface of the V-shaped light guide cover 505 has undergone fine optical processing to reduce the reflection and scattering losses of light, ensuring that the light can accurately irradiate the ambient light sensor of the watch.

[0133] In terms of optical parameters, through strict design and experimental verification, the distance between the spherical light source 502 and the diffuser 504 is precisely set to 178 mm. This distance can ensure that the light emitted by the spherical light source 502 can be fully diffused and homogenized when passing through the diffuser 504, and at the same time, it will not cause light attenuation and loss due to too long a distance. At the same time, the distance between the diffuser 504 and the watch on the carrier 2 is precisely set to 111 mm. This distance can ensure that the diffused light can accurately irradiate the ambient light sensor of the watch, and at the same time, it will not cause excessive concentration and local overheating of light due to too short a distance, thus ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the test.

[0134] Through the collaborative work of the above-mentioned components, the ALS test module 5 can achieve precise and efficient testing of the ambient light sensing functions of different models of watches.

[0135] Please refer to again Figure 3 and in combination with reference to Figures 13-14 In an implementation manner of this embodiment, the first DVI test module 6 and the second DVI test module 7 have a high degree of consistency in structural design and function implementation, and both cover three core components: the second bracket 601, the camera 602, and the lighting light source 603.

[0136] The second bracket 601, as the basic support structure of the entire test module, has its installation position precisely set on the base 1. The second bracket 601 is made of a high-strength and high-stability metal alloy material, and through precise machining and surface treatment processes, it is ensured to have excellent load-bearing capacity, anti-deformation ability, and corrosion resistance. Its design fully considers the connection stability with the base 1, the installation compatibility with other components, and the aesthetics of the overall structure, providing a reliable guarantee for the stable operation of the test module.

[0137] The camera 602, as the core component of visual inspection, is carefully installed on the second bracket 601. The camera 602 adopts high-resolution and high-sensitivity industrial camera technology and has the ability to quickly capture images and accurately identify details. It integrates advanced optical lenses and image sensors inside, can obtain clear images of the CG surface of the watch in real time, and transmit these image data to the subsequent image processing system for analysis and processing. The installation position and angle of the camera 602 have been precisely calculated and adjusted to ensure that it can accurately capture all areas of the CG surface of the watch, providing high-quality image data support for subsequent scratch, dust or stain detection.

[0138] The lighting source 603, as the key component for providing appropriate lighting conditions for the camera 602, is also installed on the second bracket 601, and its installation position cooperates with that of the camera 602, so that the lighting direction is consistent with the image-taking direction of the camera 602, both facing the conveyor mechanism 3. The lighting source 603 adopts high-brightness and high-uniformity LED lighting technology and has adjustable lighting intensity and angle functions. Its design fully considers the material, color of the CG surface of the watch and the detection requirements, can provide appropriate lighting conditions, making the features of the CG surface of the watch more clearly presented, thereby improving the detection accuracy and reliability of the camera 602.

[0139] During the detection process, the first DVI test module 6 and the second DVI test module 7 obtain the image data of the CG surface of the watch through the camera 602 and analyze and process these image data using advanced image processing algorithms. For the first DVI test module 6, its image processing algorithm mainly focuses on identifying and analyzing features such as lines and scratches in the image to determine whether there are scratches on the CG surface of the watch; while for the second DVI test module 7, its image processing algorithm mainly focuses on detecting and positioning features such as dust particles and stain spots in the image to determine whether there is dust or stain on the CG surface of the watch.

[0140] Through the coordinated work of the above components, the first DVI test module 6 and the second DVI test module 7 can achieve precise and efficient detection of quality defects such as scratches, dust or stains on the CG surface of different models of watches.

[0141] A watch testing machine provided by an embodiment of the present invention integrates a crown rotation testing module, an ALS testing module, a first DVI testing module, and a second DVI testing module, achieving a comprehensive inspection of the functions and appearance quality of the watch. This integrated design significantly improves the testing efficiency and avoids the problems of time waste and inaccurate testing caused by multiple transfers of the watch in the traditional decentralized testing method. At the same time, the orderly arrangement and automated operation of each testing module ensure the stability and repeatability of the testing process, reduce the interference of human factors, and further improve the accuracy of the testing results. In addition, the first DVI testing module and the second DVI testing module respectively detect scratches and dust stains on the CG surface, which can more carefully evaluate the appearance quality of the watch, help to timely discover potential problems in the production process, and thus improve the product quality and production efficiency.

[0142] Finally, it should be noted that although the above embodiments have been described in the text and drawings of the specification of the present application, the patent protection scope of the present application cannot be limited thereby. Any technical solutions obtained by equivalent structure or equivalent process substitution or modification based on the substantial concept of the present application, using the content recorded in the text and drawings of the specification of the present application, as well as any technical solutions directly or indirectly implemented in other related technical fields of the above embodiments, are included in the patent protection scope of the present application.
