Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of equipment performance testing, and in particular to a testing device for smart wearable devices. Background Technology

[0002] Smart wearable devices refer to intelligent electronic devices that can be worn directly on the body or integrated into clothing. They utilize sensors, wireless connectivity, and data processing technologies to achieve functions such as health monitoring, activity tracking, and information interaction. Common forms include smartwatches, fitness trackers, glasses, and headphones, capable of real-time monitoring of physiological data such as heart rate, sleep, and steps. Some devices support extended functions such as mobile payment, calls, and navigation. Their core value lies in seamlessly integrating technology into daily life, helping users manage their health more conveniently, improve efficiency, and gradually developing towards medical-grade monitoring and AI-personalized services. Smartwatches, as one of the mainstream smart wearable devices, focus on the collaborative innovation of the watch face and watch band in their core design. The watch face typically features a high-definition touchscreen, integrating heart rate sensors, blood oxygen detection modules, etc., and supports customizable watch face interfaces. Watch band materials include silicone (sports models), metal (business models), and leather (fashion models), with some products supporting quick-release structures for interchangeable bands and built-in biosensors to enhance wearing comfort. Both achieve human-computer interaction through the watch face and rely on the watch band for stable vital sign monitoring, together constituting the dual attributes of "smart + wearable."

[0003] To enhance wearing comfort and adaptability to different scenarios, and to enable personalized customization and sustainable consumption, the watch face and strap are detachably connected via buckles / spring pins, facilitating easy installation and removal of the strap. To ensure that these connectors do not detach or become unstable during long-term use, a certain number of watch faces and straps from the same model and batch are randomly selected for fatigue-resistant insertion and removal tests at the connection point, guaranteeing the product's durability.

[0004] Existing testing equipment measures the fatigue resistance of a watch by fixing the dial and clamping the strap, repeatedly moving the strap back and forth along the radial direction of the dial to repeatedly insert and remove the strap's connecting end into the dial's slot. However, with the diversification of smartwatches, the connection between the dial and the strap is no longer limited to radial movement. Some straps are inserted into slots on the dial circumferentially, and existing testing equipment cannot be used for performance testing of such smartwatches. Furthermore, in actual use, smartwatch straps are usually secured by clips or other structures, requiring pressing the corresponding clips to unlock. Existing testing equipment lacks corresponding clip unlocking mechanisms, leading to strap removal being done by force, which does not reflect the actual usage scenarios of watch straps. Therefore, the test results are clearly unrealistic and inaccurate. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a smart wearable device testing device that can be applied to the plug-in and unplug testing of various smartwatches.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, one technical solution adopted by the present invention is: to provide a smart wearable device testing device for testing the assembly performance of the watch face and watch band of a smart wearable device, including a frame, a fixed rotation mechanism, a pulling mechanism, and an auxiliary mechanism; the fixed rotation mechanism includes a mounting part for mounting the watch face, a first driving part mounted on the frame for driving the mounting part to rotate, and a pressing part mounted on the mounting part for pressing the watch face buckle; the pulling mechanism is mounted on the frame for mounting and pulling the watch band, and the auxiliary mechanism is mounted on the frame and movably cooperates with the pressing part, the auxiliary mechanism being used to push the pressing part to press or release the watch face buckle on the mounting part.

[0007] Furthermore, the mounting portion includes a lateral positioning portion mounted on the first drive portion for supporting and laterally positioning the watch case, and a longitudinal positioning portion connected to the lateral positioning portion for longitudinally positioning the watch case.

[0008] Furthermore, the lateral positioning part includes a base connected to the first driving part and a boss protruding from the base and whose outer wall is adapted to the inner cavity of the dial in the longitudinal direction. A support surface is formed on the base surrounding the outer periphery of the boss to support the watch case. The boss is used to fit the watch strap on it in the longitudinal direction and fit it. The longitudinal positioning part is detachably connected to the boss and its end extends laterally to the outside of the boss to press the dial.

[0009] Furthermore, the pressing part includes a movable block that is radially movably mounted on the mounting part and a pressing column that is fixedly connected to the movable block and protrudes toward the mounting part. The movable block is used to cooperate with the auxiliary mechanism after the dial is mounted on the mounting part to press or move away from the dial latch.

[0010] Furthermore, the mounting portion is provided with two parallel guide posts along its radial direction, and the movable block is movably fitted onto the two guide posts so as to be able to slide along the radial direction of the mounting portion.

[0011] Furthermore, the pulling mechanism is configured as two and distributed on opposite sides of the mounting part and the auxiliary mechanism. Both pulling mechanisms include a second driving part mounted on the frame and a clamping part connected to the second driving part for clamping the end of the watch strap near the dial. The second driving part is used to drive the clamping part to move closer to or away from the mounting part.

[0012] Furthermore, the pulling mechanism also includes an adjustment part disposed on the second drive part and used to adjust the angle of the clamping part; the adjustment part includes a base plate hinged to the second drive part via a hinge side and close to the mounting part, and an arc plate with one end connected to the other side of the base plate. The arc plate is curved around the hinge side, and the other end of the arc plate is movably connected to the second drive part and locked by a locking member. The clamping part is mounted on the hinge side of the base plate.

[0013] Furthermore, the auxiliary mechanism is configured as two and distributed opposite each other on both sides of the mounting part. Both auxiliary mechanisms include a third drive unit mounted on the frame and an extension arm connected to the third drive unit and movably engaged with the movable block on the side facing the mounting part. The third drive unit is used to drive the extension arm to move closer to or away from the mounting part.

[0014] Furthermore, an arc-shaped block that protrudes longitudinally and bends circumferentially along the mounting portion is connected to one side of the movable block. Two protruding posts are arranged radially at intervals along the mounting portion on the extension arm. An active cavity is formed between the two protruding posts, into which the arc-shaped block can pass and move circumferentially along the mounting portion. The operation of the third drive unit drives the extension arm to move, which in turn pushes the arc-shaped block to move through the two protruding posts.

[0015] Furthermore, the fixed rotation mechanism, the pulling mechanism, and the auxiliary mechanism are all equipped with sensing units for controlling the force applied by the corresponding mechanism to the dial and the strap to not exceed a set value.

[0016] The smart wearable device testing apparatus of the present invention has at least the following beneficial effects: through the cooperation of the first driving part, the pressing part, the auxiliary mechanism and the pulling mechanism, the first driving part and the auxiliary mechanism cooperate to press the dial buckle, and the pull mechanism is used to install the watch strap. When the first driving part drives the mounting part to rotate, it can be used to assemble and disassemble the watch strap and dial installed along the circumferential direction. Through the cooperation between the pull mechanism and the mounting part, it can also be used to complete the watch strap and dial installed along the radial direction by pulling the watch strap, thereby improving applicability.

Detailed Implementation

[0031] The invention will now be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0032] The smart wearable device of the present invention can be a smartwatch or a bracelet. This embodiment takes a smartwatch as an example to test the durability and resistance to wear at the connection between the dial 1 and the strap 2. The dial 1 has a circular structure with an inner cavity that extends through both sides along the axial direction. One side of the inner cavity of the dial 1 along the axial direction is wide and the other side is narrow or constricted. A flange structure (not shown in the figure) protruding laterally is provided on the inner cavity of the dial 1 or on the narrow side of the dial 1. The flange structure is used to adapt and connect with the internal structure of the smartwatch. Two slots 11 are symmetrically provided on the outer wall of the dial 1 with the center as the axis. The two slots 11 extend through one end in a direction tangent to the dial 1 at their respective positions, and have a groove wall at the other end. The two slots 11 are open and connected to the outside of the dial 1 radially away from each other. A dial clasp 12 is provided on the through end of each of the two slots 11. The dial clasp 12 consists of a spring block, a connecting rod, and a buffer device. The spring block blocks the through end of the slot 11. The connecting end 21 of the strap 2, which connects to the dial 1, has a crescent-shaped structure that fits the structure of the slot 11. On the side of the connecting end 21 facing the dial 1, there is a protrusion structure that engages or latches with the spring block and other structures. The whole structure adopts a mechanical spring structure. When the strap 2 passes through the dial clasp 12 and is pushed into the slot 11, it deforms elastically and engages with the protrusion structure to complete the fixation. During disassembly and assembly, pressing the dial clasp 12 changes the deformation of the spring block, thereby releasing the lock on the protrusion structure, so that the connecting end 21 can press past the dial clasp 12 and move out of the slot 11. The specific structure is the same as the clasp structure of the dial 1 and strap 2 in the prior art, and will not be described in detail here.

[0033] Please see Figures 1 to 11 The intelligent wearable device testing apparatus of the present invention is used to test the assembly performance of the connection between the dial 1 and the strap 2, so as to complete the durability and fatigue resistance test by repeatedly disassembling and assembling the dial 1 and the strap 2. The intelligent wearable device testing apparatus of the present invention includes a frame 3, a fixed rotating mechanism 4 mounted on the frame 3, an auxiliary mechanism 5 mounted on the frame 3, and a pulling mechanism 6 mounted on the frame 3. The fixed rotating mechanism 4 is used to install the dial 1 and drive the dial 1 to rotate. The pulling mechanism 6 is used to install the strap 2 and pull the strap 2 by moving it closer to or away from the fixed rotating mechanism 4, thereby cooperating with the fixed rotating mechanism 4 to drive the dial 1 to rotate and realize the installation, disassembly, and pulling of the strap 2. The auxiliary mechanism 5 is used to cooperate with the fixed rotating mechanism 4 to press or release the dial buckle 12 to facilitate the disassembly of the strap 2, so as to realize the fully automatic operation of the testing process.

[0034] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2In this embodiment, the frame 3 includes a lower cabinet 31 and an upper cabinet 32. The lower cabinet 31 includes an outer frame and an electrical controller installed inside it. An external power supply electrically connected to the electrical controller is also provided inside the outer frame. Support feet 311 and casters 312 are provided at the four corners of the bottom of the outer frame to support and move the entire frame 3. An openable cabinet door is provided on the outer frame to facilitate maintenance of the electrical controller. The electrical controller is used to connect to the fixed rotation mechanism 4, the pulling mechanism 6, and the auxiliary mechanism 5. While providing electrical power, the electrical controller is used to receive signals and send commands to control the opening and closing of each mechanism. The upper cabinet 32 ​​includes a hollow box connected to the top of the outer frame, a control panel 322 fixedly installed on the outer wall of the box, and an alarm 321 fixedly installed on the outer wall of the upper box. The fixed rotation mechanism 4, the pulling mechanism 6, and the auxiliary mechanism 5 are all installed on top of the lower cabinet 31 and located inside the box. Each side of the enclosure is equipped with a door that can be opened and closed. The control panel 322 and the alarm 321 are both electrically connected to the electrical controller. The control panel 322 is used to set operating parameters and power supply. The alarm 321 sounds an alarm and flashes a light when the equipment malfunctions. When a malfunction occurs, the electrical controller shuts down all mechanisms. Whether the equipment is malfunctioning or not is determined by whether the equipment is operating abnormally, which will not be described in detail here.

[0035] Please see Figures 2 to 6 The fixed rotation mechanism 4 includes a mounting part 41 for mounting the dial 1, a first drive part 42 mounted on the frame 3 for rotating the mounting part 41, and a pressing part 43 mounted on the mounting part 41 for pressing the dial clasp 12. The pressing part 43 is movably coupled to the auxiliary mechanism 5 so that, under the push of the auxiliary mechanism 5, the pressing part 43 can press or release the dial clasp 12, thereby enabling the pulling mechanism 6 to remove the watch strap 2. In another embodiment, the fixed rotation mechanism 4 includes a first drive part 42 mounted on the frame 3 and a multi-jaw chuck connected to the first drive part 42. A pressing structure protrudes inwardly from two of the jaws of the multi-jaw chuck. The pressing structure can be an electric structure or a pressing part 43 cooperating with the auxiliary mechanism 5. The multi-jaw chuck is used to mount and fix the dial 1, the first drive part 42 is used to drive the multi-jaw chuck to rotate, and the pressing structure is used to press the dial clasp 12.

[0036] In this embodiment, the mounting part 41 includes a lateral positioning part mounted on the first driving part 42 and a longitudinal positioning part connected to the lateral positioning part. The lateral positioning part is used to support and position the watch case laterally so as to restrict the movement of the watch case in the lateral direction (referring to the horizontal direction) of the dial 1. The longitudinal positioning part is used to position the watch case longitudinally so as to restrict the up and down movement of the watch case, thereby cooperating with the lateral positioning part to fix the dial 1.

[0037] The lateral positioning part includes a base 411 connected to the first drive part 42 and a boss 412 protruding from the base 411 and whose outer wall is adapted to the inner cavity of the dial 1 in the longitudinal direction (referring to the vertical direction perpendicular to the lateral / horizontal direction). The base 411 has a cylindrical structure and is arranged axially in the longitudinal direction. A support surface 413 is formed on the base 411, surrounding the outer periphery of the boss 412 for supporting the watch case. That is, the boss 412 protrudes from the top of the base 411 and its lateral dimension is smaller than the diameter of the base 411. The boss 412 and the base 411 are arranged coaxially. The top surface of the base 411 and the portion located on the outer periphery of the boss 412 are configured as the support surface 413. The support surface 413 has an annular structure and is arranged coaxially with the boss 412. The structure of the boss 412 is the same as and compatible with the inner cavity structure of the dial 1. Therefore, the boss 412 has a truncated cone structure that is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom. On the top surface of the boss 412 and the part connected to the side, a complementary structure 414 is provided that is complementary to the flange structure in the inner cavity of the dial 1. After the boss 412 is used to fit the watch strap 2 longitudinally onto the boss 412 and is formed on the support surface 413, the complementary structure 414 matches or spline-connects with the flange structure so that the lateral positioning part can restrict the movement of the dial 1 in the lateral direction and prevent the dial 1 from rotating relative to the boss 412, thus achieving an anti-rotation effect.

[0038] A longitudinal positioning part is detachably connected to the boss 412 and its end extends laterally beyond the boss 412 to hold the dial 1. The longitudinal positioning part includes at least one pressure block 415, on which a first screw hole 4151 is formed longitudinally. A corresponding second screw hole is formed on the boss 412. The longitudinal positioning part is detachably connected to the boss 412 by sequentially bolting screws into the first screw hole 4151 and the second screw hole. One end of the pressure block 415 has the first screw hole 4151, while the other end extends radially outward along the boss 412, protruding relative to the sidewall of the boss 412.

[0039] In use, remove each pressure block 415, and fit the dial 1 onto the boss 412, ensuring that the complementary structure 414 and the flange structure complement and fit together. Then, install each pressure block 415 onto the boss 412 with screws until the pressure block 415 presses firmly against the dial 1 on the boss 412, holding the dial 1 between the support surface 413 and the pressure block 415. It is important to avoid having each pressure block 415 collinear with the pressing part 43 and the pulling mechanism 6 in the radial direction of the mounting part 41, so that each pressure block 415 is staggered between the pulling mechanism 6 and the pressing part 43 to prevent interference.

[0040] The first drive unit 42 is arranged longitudinally and located at the bottom of the mounting unit 41. From bottom to top, the first drive unit 42 includes, in sequence, a first drive member 421 mounted on the top of the inner cavity of the lower cabinet 31, a planetary reducer 422 shafted to the first drive member 421, a motor coupling 423 shafted to the planetary reducer 422, a linear bearing 424 coaxially connected to one end of the motor coupling 423, and a torque sensor 425 coaxially connected to the other end of the linear bearing 424. The first drive member 421, the planetary reducer 422, and the motor coupling 423 are all located inside the lower cabinet 31. The first drive member 421 is a rotary motor, and its output shaft is shafted to the input end of the planetary reducer 422. A connecting frame 313 is connected to the top wall of the inner cavity of the lower cabinet 31. The connecting frame 313 includes a square mounting plate 3131 and four connecting posts 3132 fixedly connected to the four corners of the mounting top. At the center of the mounting plate 3131, a through hole with a diameter smaller than the lateral dimension of the planetary reducer is formed along the longitudinal direction. The planetary reducer 422 is fixedly mounted on the bottom surface of the mounting plate 3131. The output shaft of the planetary reducer 422 passes through the through hole and is connected to a motor coupling 423. The motor coupling 423 is located inside each connecting post 3132. One end of the motor coupling 423 is connected to the output shaft of the planetary reducer 422. A linear bearing 424 is fixedly connected to the top wall of the lower cabinet 31. A cylindrical shaft (not shown in the figure) passes through the inner annular hole of the linear bearing 424, allowing the cylindrical shaft to rotate relative to the linear bearing 424. The two ends of the cylindrical shaft are respectively fixed to the other end of the motor coupling 423 and the torque sensor 425, so that after the first drive unit 421 is decelerated to a suitable speed by the planetary reducer 422, the cylindrical shaft can rotate relative to the linear bearing 424, and drive the cylindrical shaft and the torque sensor 425 to rotate through the transmission of the motor coupling 423. The output shaft of the torque sensor 425 is coaxially connected to the base 411. The torque sensor 425 is used to detect the torque transmission between the watch strap 2 and the dial 1 when the first drive unit 421 is running and rotating after the watch strap 2 is positioned. The set value is usually 10N. When the torque exceeds 10N, the torque sensor 425 sends a signal to the electrical controller, and then the electrical controller controls the shutdown of each device and the alarm 321 sounds an alarm. Torque sensor 425 is used to prevent excessive torque from affecting the test results of dial 1 and strap 2, and to control the torque within the set value in order to better simulate the torque used in manual assembly, thereby better obtaining the fatigue resistance and durability of the smartwatch in actual use.

[0041] The pressing part 43 includes a movable block 431 that is radially movably mounted on the mounting part 41 and a pressing post 432 that is fixedly connected to the movable block 431 and protrudes toward the mounting part 41. Two parallel guide posts 416 are radially arranged on the base 411 of the mounting part 41, directly opposite the auxiliary mechanism 5. Each guide post 416 protrudes laterally outward relative to the base 411. A through hole 433 is provided on the movable block 431 at the position corresponding to the two guide posts 416. The movable block 431 is movably fitted onto the two guide posts 416 through the two through holes 433, allowing it to slide radially along the mounting part 41. The pressing post 432 protrudes toward the base 411 relative to the movable block 431, and the longitudinal dimension of the pressing post 432 is smaller than the size of the dial latch 12. After the dial 1 is mounted on the boss 412 and positioned, during the process of the first drive unit 42 driving the dial 1, the travel of the dial latch 12 is configured as the moving travel. The pressing column 432 is radially aligned with the end point of one side of the moving travel along the base 411. The movable block 431 is used to push the movable block 431 closer to the base 411 when the dial 1 is mounted on the mounting unit 41 and the dial latch 12 is rotated to the end point of the moving travel aligned with the pressing column 432. Then, the auxiliary mechanism 5 and the movable block 431 are movably engaged to push the movable block 431 closer to the base 411 so that the pressing column 432 presses the dial latch 12. After that, the auxiliary mechanism 5 pushes the movable block 431 away from the base 411 so that the pressing column 432 is away from the dial latch 12.

[0042] To ensure the accuracy of the movement stroke, a first stroke limiter 44 is installed on the top outer wall of the lower cabinet 31. This limiter detects and controls the movement of the torque sensor 425 during rotation to ensure that the dial latch 12 always stays within its movement stroke. A limit block of the first stroke limiter 44 is mounted on the torque sensor 425, and the contact system of the first stroke limiter 44 is mounted on the lower cabinet 31. The limit block rotates synchronously with the torque sensor 425 and the base 411, and the movement of the dial latch 12 is controlled by the movement between the limit block and the contact system. The structure of the first stroke limiter 44 is existing technology and will not be described in detail here.

[0043] Please see Figure 4 , Figure 7 and Figure 8Two auxiliary mechanisms 5 are provided and distributed opposite each other on both sides of the mounting part 41. Both auxiliary mechanisms 5 are distributed inward and towards the movable block 431. Correspondingly, two pressing parts 43 are also provided to correspond to the two dial buckles 12. Each auxiliary mechanism 5 includes a third drive part 51 mounted on the frame 3 and an extension arm 52 connected to the third drive part 51 and movably engaged with the movable block 431 towards the mounting part 41. The third drive part 51 is used to drive the extension arm 52 to move closer to or away from the mounting part 41. The extension arm 52 is movably engaged with the movable block 431 so that when the extension arm 52 moves closer to the mounting part 41, it pushes the movable block 431 towards the base 411, and when the extension arm 52 moves away from the mounting part 41, it pushes the movable block 431 away from the base 411. In another embodiment, the auxiliary mechanism 5 includes a third drive part 51, wherein the pressing part 43 is directly connected to the output shaft of the third drive part 51, and the fixed rotation mechanism 4 does not have a pressing part 43.

[0044] The third drive unit 51 includes an L-shaped first base 511 mounted on the top outer wall of the lower cabinet 31, a first guide rail 512 mounted on the first base 511, two first sliders 513 slidably mounted on the first guide rail 512, and a third drive member 514 mounted on the first base 511. The first base 511 has a first horizontal plate 5111 arranged laterally and a first vertical plate 5112 distributed longitudinally. The first guide rail 512 is mounted on the first horizontal plate 5111, and the third drive member 514 is mounted on the first vertical plate 5112. The first guide rail 512 is arranged parallel to the guide post 416, and the two first sliders 513 are movable on the first guide rail 512 toward the mounting part 41 and away from the mounting part 41. The first vertical plate 5112 is located at the end of the first horizontal plate 5111 away from the mounting part 41. An extension arm 52 is mounted on one of the first sliders 513 near the mounting part 41. A first transition block 5113 is mounted on another first slider 513, and a first through hole is provided on the first vertical plate 5112. A third driving member 514 is fixedly mounted on the first vertical plate 5112, and the output shaft of the third driving member 514 rotatably connects to the first transition block 5113 after passing through the first through hole. The third driving member 514 is a ball screw motor, and its screw is configured as the output shaft of the third driving member 514 and arranged parallel to the guide post 416, so that the screw passes through the first through hole and rotatably connects to the first transition block 5113. The end of the screw can be moved into the groove or bearing on the first transition block 5113 to achieve rotational engagement, so that after the third driving member 514 runs, the screw moves axially through the threaded engagement with it, thereby pushing the first transition block 5113 and the first slider 513 to move. A first auxiliary block 5114 is fixedly connected to the extension arm 52. A first force sensor 53 is connected between the first auxiliary block 5114 and the first transition block 5113. After the third driving member 514 runs and drives the first transition block 5113 to slide, the first force sensor 53 connected to the first transition block 5113 is pushed or pulled. The first auxiliary block 5114, the extension arm 52 connected to the first auxiliary block 5114, and another first slider 513 connected to the extension arm 52 slide on the first guide rail 512.

[0045] In one embodiment, an arc-shaped block 434 protruding longitudinally and curving circumferentially along the mounting portion 41 is connected to one side of the movable block 431. Two protruding posts 521 are arranged radially at intervals along the mounting portion 41 on the extension arm 52. An active cavity 522 is formed between the two protruding posts 521, into which the arc-shaped block 434 passes and can move circumferentially along the mounting portion 41. The width of the active cavity 522 is greater than the thickness of the arc-shaped block 434, so that the arc-shaped block 434 can move within the active cavity 522. Both protruding posts 521 are cylindrical, and the length of the arc block 434 is greater than the distance or length of the movement stroke of the dial latch 12, so that when the dial latch 12 is located at the end point of the movement stroke directly opposite the pressing post 432, one end of the arc block 434 contacts the protruding post 521, and when the dial latch 12 is located at the other end point of the movement stroke, the other end of the arc block 434 contacts the protruding post 521, thereby ensuring that the auxiliary mechanism 5 and the movable block 431 are always in active engagement.

[0046] In use, the third drive member 514 drives the extension arm 52 to move toward the mounting part 41. When the protrusion 521 away from the mounting part 41 contacts the arc block 434, it pushes the arc block 434, causing the movable block 431 to move closer to the travel until the pressing post 432 presses the dial buckle 12, thereby unlocking and removing the watch strap 2. When the watch strap 2 is removed, the connecting end 21 of the watch strap 2 slides over the buckle of the watch strap 2. At the same time, the third drive member 514 drives the lead screw to move in the opposite direction and move toward the side away from the mounting part 41. This causes the extension arm 52 to move toward the side away from the mounting part 41, causing the protrusion 521 close to the mounting part 41 to approach the arc block 434. After contacting the arc block 434, it pushes the arc block 434 to move outward, thereby causing the movable block 431 and the pressing post 432 to move outward away from the mounting part 41. The first force sensor 53 is used to measure the force between the protrusion 521 and the arc block 434 during the movement, and the set value is also 10N. When the force exceeds 10N, the third drive unit 514 shuts down and alarms.

[0047] In order to limit the range of movement of the extension arm 52, a second travel limiter 54 is provided on the first horizontal plate 5111. The limit block of the second travel limiter 54 is installed on the first slider 513 so that after the range of movement is set, the opening and closing of the third drive member 514 is controlled at the end point on both sides of the range of movement of the first slider 513.

[0048] Please see Figure 4 , Figures 9 to 11Two pulling mechanisms 6 are provided and are distributed opposite each other on both sides of the mounting part 41 to correspond to the positions of the two watch straps 2 respectively. The two pulling mechanisms 6 and the two auxiliary mechanisms 5 are distributed at intervals, so that the two pulling mechanisms 6 are distributed opposite each other on both sides of the mounting part 41 and the auxiliary mechanisms 5. Each pulling mechanism 6 includes a second drive part 61 mounted on the frame 3, a clamping part 62 connected to the second drive part 61 for clamping the end of the watch strap 2 near the dial 1, and an adjusting part 63 provided on the second drive part 61 for adjusting the angle of the clamping part 62. The second drive part 61 is used to drive the clamping part 62 to move closer to or away from the mounting part 41 to pull the watch strap 2 clamped on the clamping part 62, thus completing the functions of pulling, installing, and removing the watch strap 2. In another embodiment, the pulling structure can be set as a robot arm, which completes the preset function by clamping and pulling the watch strap 2, and is not limited to the structure of this embodiment.

[0049] The second drive unit 61 includes an L-shaped second base 611 mounted on the top outer wall of the lower cabinet 31, a second guide rail 612 mounted on the second base 611, three second sliders 613 slidably mounted on the second guide rail 612, and a second drive member 614 mounted on the second base 611. The second base 611 has a second horizontal plate 6111 arranged laterally and a second vertical plate 6112 distributed longitudinally. The second guide rail 612 is mounted on the second horizontal plate 6111, and the second drive member 614 is mounted on the second vertical plate 6112. The second vertical plate 6112 is located on the side of the second horizontal plate 6111 away from the mounting base. The second guide rail 612 is radially oriented towards the location of the watch strap 2 along the base 411. The three second sliders 613 can move on the second guide rail 612 towards and away from the mounting part 41. The second vertical plate 6112 is located on the end of the second horizontal plate 6111 away from the mounting part 41. A second transition block 6113 is mounted on a first slider 513 located away from the mounting part 41 and close to the first vertical plate 5112. A second through hole is provided on the second vertical plate 6112. A second driving member 614 is fixedly mounted on the second vertical plate 6112, and the output shaft of the second driving member 614 is rotatably connected to the second transition block 6113 after passing through the second through hole. The second driving member 614 is also a ball screw motor, and its screw is configured as the output shaft of the second driving member 614 and is arranged facing the mounting part 41, so that the screw passes through the second through hole and is rotatably connected to the second transition block 6113. The end of the screw can be moved into the groove or bearing on the second transition block 6113 to achieve rotational engagement. Thus, after the second driving member 614 is running, the screw moves axially through the threaded engagement with it, thereby pushing the second transition block 6113 and the second slider 613 to move. Second auxiliary blocks 6114 are fixedly connected to the other two second sliders 613. Two third auxiliary blocks 6115 are arranged inwardly at intervals on the second auxiliary blocks 6114, one of which is close to the second transition block 6113 and the other is close to the mounting part 41. The adjustment part 63 is mounted on the two third auxiliary blocks 6115, and the clamping part 62 is mounted on the adjustment part 63. A second force sensor 64 is connected between the second auxiliary block 6114, which is close to the second transition block 6113, and the second transition block 6113. After the second drive member 614 operates and drives the second transition block 6113 to slide, the second force sensor 64 connected to the second transition block 6113 is pushed or pulled, thereby pushing or pulling the third auxiliary block 6115, the second auxiliary block 6114 connected to the second auxiliary block 6114, and the second slider 613 connected to the second auxiliary block 6114 to slide on the second guide rail 612, thereby driving the clamping part 62 to move closer to or away from the base 411.The second force sensor 64 is used to measure the force of the convex clamp pulling the watch strap 2 during the movement, and the set value is also 10N. When the force exceeds 10N, the second drive unit 614 shuts down and alarms to simulate human pulling of the watch strap 2.

[0050] In this embodiment, the torque sensor 425, the first force sensor 53, and the second force sensor 64 are configured as sensors. The torque sensor 425 is used to measure the torque between the mounting part 41 and the watch strap 2 after the first drive part 42 rotates and drives the dial 1 to rotate. Once the torque value exceeds the set value, the first drive part 42 is shut down. The first force sensor 53 is used to measure the force when the third drive part 51 pushes the arc block 434 through the protrusion 521 to push the pressing column 432. Once the pushing force exceeds the set value, the third drive part 51 is shut down. The second force sensor 64 is used to measure the force when the second drive part 61 pulls the watch strap 2 relative to the dial 1 after clamping the watch strap 2 through the clamping part. Once the pulling force exceeds the set value, the second drive part 61 is shut down. This ensures that the force applied by the sensors to the dial 1 and the watch strap 2 by each mechanism does not exceed the set value.

[0051] In order to limit the movement range of the clamping part 62, a third stroke limiter 65 is provided on the second horizontal plate 6111. The limiting block of the third stroke limiter 65 is installed on the second slider 613 so that after the movement range is set, the opening and closing of the second drive member 614 is controlled at the end points on both sides of the movement range of the second slider 613.

[0052] The clamping part 62 includes a bottom pressure plate 621 connected to the adjusting part 63 and a top pressure plate 622 detachably connected to the bottom pressure plate 621. A first pressing groove 623 is recessed in the bottom pressure plate 621 for the watch strap 2 to pass through. The first pressing groove communicates with the mounting part 41 and the side away from the mounting part 41 along a direction parallel to the side of the bottom pressure plate 621 where the first pressing groove 623 is located. The width of the first pressing groove 623 is consistent with and adapted to the width of the watch strap 2. A second pressing groove 624 is recessed in the top pressure plate 622 at a position corresponding to the first pressing groove 623. The second pressing groove extends through both sides of the top pressure plate 622 along a communication direction parallel to the first pressing groove 623, and the middle part of the second pressing groove 624 has an arched surface 6241 protruding towards the first pressing groove 623. In use, remove the top pressure plate 622 and place the watch strap 2 in the first pressing groove 623. Then, connect the top pressure plate 622 to the bottom pressure plate 621 and allow the other part of the watch strap 2 to enter the second pressing groove 624. The arched surface 6241 then presses the watch strap 2 to tighten it. Two positioning posts 625 protrude from both sides of the bottom pressure plate 621 on the sides of the first pressing groove 623. Positioning holes are provided on the top pressure plate 622 corresponding to the positions of the two positioning posts 625. When installing the top pressure plate 622, aligning the two positioning posts 625 with the two positioning holes achieves quick alignment and prevents misalignment, ensuring that the watch strap 2 is located inside the first pressing groove 623 and the second pressing groove 624. Bolts or screws can then be used to make screw holes in the top pressure plate 622 and the bottom pressure plate 621 to fix the top pressure plate 622 to the bottom pressure plate 621.

[0053] The adjustment unit 63 includes a base plate 631 having a hinge side 6311 and hinged to the second drive unit 61 via the hinge side 6311, and an arc-shaped plate 632 with one end connected to the other side of the base plate 631. A protrusion 6312 protrudes from the hinge side 6311 of the base plate 631, and the protrusion 6312 is hinged to a third auxiliary block 6115 near the mounting part 41. The protrusion 6312 and the corresponding third auxiliary block 6115 can be connected by a hinge chain, hinge, or other hinge structure, allowing the other side of the base plate 631 to swing longitudinally up and down relative to the hinge side 6311. A bottom pressure plate 621 is bolted to the base plate 631, and a portion of both the bottom pressure plate 621 and the top pressure plate 622 can extend beyond the base plate 631 toward the mounting part 41. Two curved plates 632 can be provided and spaced apart on the base plate 631. The curved plates 632 are curved with the hinge side 6311 as the center. The other end of the curved plates 632 is movably connected to the second drive part 61 and locked by a locking member. This allows the curved plates 632 to adjust the angle of the base plate 631 after the locking member is released, thereby adjusting the angle of the clamping part 62. This allows the clamping part 62 to be adjusted along the natural extension direction of the watch strap 2. After the clamping part 62 presses the watch strap 2, the watch strap 2 can still maintain its natural extension direction. In this design, an arc-shaped hole 6321 with an arc shape is provided at the end of the arc plate 632 away from the base plate 631, with the center of the hinge. A screw hole is provided on the corresponding side of the third auxiliary block 6115 located in the middle position. After using a locking component such as a screw and passing the screw through the arc-shaped hole 6321, the angle of the base plate 631 is adjusted by adjusting the position of the screw and the arc-shaped hole 6321. Then, the screw is tightened on the arc plate 632, so that the arc plate 632 abuts against the third auxiliary block 6115, thus completing the angle locking.

[0054] One embodiment of the intelligent wearable device testing apparatus of the present invention operates as follows:

[0055] Dial 1 Installation: After assembling the dial 1 and strap 2 to be tested together, remove the pressure block 415, so that the wide side of the dial 1 faces the boss 412, covers the boss 412 and supports it on the support surface 413. The straps 2 on both sides of the dial 1 extend diagonally upward or laterally, so that the flange structure and the complementary structure 414 match. Then connect the pressure block 415 to the boss 412 to hold the dial 1, and the installation of the dial 1 is completed. At this time, the dial buckle 12 is directly opposite the pressing post 432.

[0056] Watch strap 2 installation: Based on the natural extension angle of watch strap 2 relative to dial 1, after removing the locking piece, rotate the base plate 631 so that the angle of clamping part 62 is consistent with the angle of watch strap 2. Then, use the locking piece to lock the arc plate 632. Then, remove the top pressure plate 622 so that one side of watch strap 2 is located in the first pressing groove 623, and the end of watch strap 2 away from dial 1 is located outside the side of bottom pressure plate 621 away from mounting part 41. However, the extension range of watch strap 2 is still located on the base plate 631. Then, pass the two positioning pins 625 through the positioning holes of top pressure plate 622 and make the other side of watch strap 2 located in the second pressing groove 624. Use screws to fix top pressure plate 622 on bottom pressure plate 621 so that the arched surface 6241 presses watch strap 2 tightly in the first pressing groove 623. The connecting end 21 is located outside the side of clamping part 62 near mounting part 41. The positioning and installation of watch strap 2 is thus completed.

[0057] Data settings: The corresponding number of tests, test speed and force value test range are set with reference to the force required for manual assembly and disassembly, so as to simulate the action of a person disassembling and assembling the watch strap 2 when using a watch;

[0058] Performance Testing: Upon starting the device, the second drive unit 61 moves first, pulling the adjustment unit 63 and the clamping part 62 on the adjustment unit 63 a certain distance laterally away from the mounting part 41. The moving distance should ensure that the watch strap 2 is not excessively pulled. The first force sensor 53 detects the force value during this process to prevent excessive pulling force on the watch strap 2. Afterward, the second drive unit 61 moves in the opposite direction and returns to its original position, and then the second drive unit 61 stops running. The third drive unit 51 then runs, driving the extension arm 52 and the protrusion 521 on the extension arm 52 to move laterally towards the mounting part 41, thereby pushing the arc-shaped block 434 gradually closer to the dial clasp 12 until the dial clasp 12 is pressed. After the watch strap 2 is unlocked, the first drive unit 42 drives the mounting unit 41, the dial 1, and the pressing unit 43 to rotate in the forward direction ("forward direction" means along the circumference of the dial 1 from the side of the slot 11 away from the dial clasp 12 to the side closer to the dial clasp 12). The arc-shaped block 434 moves accordingly within the movable cavity 522. During the rotation, the end of the watch strap 2 connecting to the dial clasp 12, located in the slot 11, is pressed from one side of the dial clasp 12 to the other side. At the same time, the third drive unit 51 moves in the reverse direction and returns to its original position away from the mounting unit 41. The pressing post 432 disengages from the dial clasp 12 before the connecting end 21 contacts it. Meanwhile, the first drive unit 42 continues to rotate. The operation continues until the end of the connecting end 21 near the dial clasp 12 presses against the entire dial clasp 12, causing the protrusion structure to disengage from the dial clasp 12. Then, the first drive unit 42 briefly pauses, and the second drive unit 61 moves the strap 2 away from the mounting part 41 to pull the connecting end 21 of the strap 2 out of the dial 1 slot 11, completing the disengagement of the strap 2. The second drive unit 61 then reverses direction to return to its original position. Afterward, the second drive unit 61 briefly pauses again, at which point the end of the strap 2 near the dial clasp 12 is pressed against the dial clasp 12. Then, the first drive unit 42 reverses direction, causing the mounting part 41, the dial 1, and the pressing part 43 to rotate in opposite directions, and the arc-shaped block 4... 34. Then, it moves in the opposite direction. During the rotation, the connecting end 21 is inserted into the slot 11 until the connecting end 21 no longer presses against the dial buckle 12. Then, the connecting end 21 is completely inserted into the slot 11 and the dial buckle 12 locks the connecting end 21 to complete the assembly of the watch strap 2. At this point, the inspection of the watch strap 2 of the watch face 1 is completed in one cycle. By removing and installing the watch strap 2 from the watch face 1 according to the set number of times, this process is repeated according to the set number of inspections until the set number of inspections is completed. After that, the dial buckle 12 and the connecting end 21 are inspected. If they are damaged, they are unqualified. If they are not damaged, they meet the quality requirements. This completes the test of the smart watch that removes and installs the watch strap 2 along the circumferential direction or the tangential direction of the watch face 1.

[0059] In another embodiment, after the watch strap 2 is installed on the dial 1, the test of the smartwatch that is radially attached and detached from the dial 1 can be completed by simply operating the pulling mechanism 6 to move the clamping part 62 close to or pull out the watch strap 2.

[0060] Compared with the prior art, the smart wearable device testing device of the present invention can simulate the disassembly and assembly actions of a person using a watch strap 2 by means of the cooperation of the first driving part 42, the pressing part 43, the auxiliary mechanism 5, the sensing part and the pulling mechanism 6. It can also simulate the force applied by a person when using the watch, so that the data results are closer to the fatigue resistance performance of the watch face 1 and watch strap 2 in real use scenarios. It can realistically simulate whether the watch face 1 and watch strap 2 can guarantee the normal use of the disassembly and assembly function after use. At the same time, the device can also be used for watch face 1 and watch strap 2 with various disassembly methods, making it more flexible in application.
