Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0026] The present application provides a test water tank to solve the problem in the related art that after the watch is tested, it is difficult to remove the watch and the watch is easily missed.

[0027] See also Figure 1 、 Figure 2 , a test water tank for testing the waterproof performance of a watch. The test water tank includes a tank body 100 and a lifting assembly 200. The tank body 100 is used to carry the test liquid. The lifting assembly 200 is arranged in the tank body 100, and the lifting assembly 200 includes a lifting part 220 and a carrying part 210; the lifting part 220 is arranged on one surface of the tank body 100, for driving the carrying part 210 to move; the carrying part 210 is arranged at an end of the lifting part 220 away from the tank body 100, for carrying the watch to be tested. The lifting part 220 can be extended to push the carrying part 210 and the watch out of the test liquid, or the lifting part 220 can be shortened to drive the carrying part 210 and the watch to be immersed in the test liquid.

[0028] Specifically, when using the test water tank of this embodiment, an appropriate amount of test liquid is injected into the tank body 100, and then the watch to be tested is placed on the carrying portion 210. The operator controls the lifting portion 220 to move the carrying portion 210 to perform the water resistance test.

[0029] When testing is required, the support unit 210, driven by the lifting unit 220, moves until both the support unit 210 and the watch to be tested are completely immersed in the test liquid for a specified period of time. After the test is completed, the support unit 210, driven by the lifting unit 220, moves until both the support unit 210 and the tested watch are completely free of the test liquid. The operator can then remove the watch from the support unit 210, completing the water resistance test.

[0030] During testing, the test water tank of this embodiment can move the watch under test into and out of the test liquid synchronously via the carrying portion 210. This eliminates the need for operators to retrieve the watch from below the test liquid surface during water resistance testing. This makes the removal of the tested watch simple and convenient, and prevents any watch from being left in the test liquid. This makes this embodiment reliable, convenient, and highly practical.

[0031] In some embodiments, for example, Figure 1As shown, the carrying portion 210 includes a carrying plate 211, and the carrying plate 211 is used to carry watches. The carrying plate 211 is provided with a liquid-passing hole 212, and a plurality of liquid-passing holes 212 are evenly distributed on the carrying plate 211. When the carrying plate 211 is moved to be immersed in the test liquid, the test liquid can freely pass through the liquid-passing hole 212 and contact the watch to be tested on the carrying plate 211 to test the waterproof performance of the watch. The fact that a plurality of liquid-passing holes 212 are evenly distributed on the carrying plate 211 enables the test liquid to pass through the carrying plate 211 evenly and quickly when the carrying plate 211 is immersed in the test liquid, and contact the multiple watches on the carrying plate 211, thereby ensuring the reliability of this embodiment and the convenience of the testing process.

[0032] In some embodiments, for example, Figure 1 As shown, a reinforcement portion is provided on the support plate 211. The support plate 211 is configured as a quadrilateral plate, and the reinforcement portion is configured as a rigid rod, which is fixedly arranged on the diagonals of the quadrilateral plate. The support plate 211 is configured as a quadrilateral plate. Compared to a support plate 211 with a more regular shape, it can carry a larger number of watches, thereby increasing the number of single tests in this embodiment. The rigid rods provided on the diagonals of the support plate 211 can further increase the overall strength of the support portion 210, ensuring the load-bearing capacity of the support portion 210 and improving the reliability of this embodiment.

[0033] The rigid rod can be set on the side of the bearing portion 210 where the watch is not needed according to actual needs, so as to avoid the rigid rod from contacting the watch and affecting the stability of the watch placed on the bearing portion 210.

[0034] In some embodiments, for example, the box body 100 is set as a rectangular parallelepiped, the supporting plate 211 is set as a rectangular plate, the supporting plate 211 is installed in the box body 100, and the supporting plate 211 is set parallel to the bottom plate or top plate of the box body 100, making the structure of this embodiment more reasonable.

[0035] A gap is provided between the edge of the supporting plate 211 and the side wall of the box 100, so that when the supporting plate 211 moves in the vertical direction, the test liquid can pass through the supporting plate 211 from the gap and the liquid hole 212 and immerse the supporting plate 211 and the watch.

[0036] Providing a gap between the edge of the support plate 211 and the sidewall of the housing 100 prevents the test liquid from pushing the watch forward under the action of water pressure when the support plate 211 moves. Specifically, if the edge of the support plate 211 is sealed against the housing 100, when the support plate 211 is moved to be immersed in the test liquid, the test liquid can only pass through the liquid hole 212. Due to the small area of the liquid hole 212, the flow rate of the test liquid will increase when passing through the liquid hole 212. When the watch to be tested is placed on the support plate 211, the high-flowing test liquid may impact the watch, causing it to move, thereby affecting the normal waterproof performance test of the watch.

[0037] It is understandable that a seal can also be set between the edge of the supporting plate 211 and the side wall of the box body 100, but correspondingly, the aperture of the liquid hole 212 needs to be adaptively increased so that the flow rate of the test liquid will not increase suddenly when passing through the liquid hole 212, thereby avoiding the test liquid impacting the watch, causing the watch to move, and affecting the normal progress of the waterproof performance test.

[0038] In some embodiments, for example, Figure 1 As shown, the lifting portion 220 includes a lifting rod, which includes multiple rods 221. The diameters of the rods 221 gradually increase along the direction from one side of the housing 100 to the bearing portion 210. The multiple rods 221 are sequentially nested and fit together, and the rods 221 can slide relative to each other. The lifting rod includes multiple rods 221, and the diameters of the multiple rods 221 gradually increase. In this way, when the lifting rod is shortened, the rod 221 with a smaller diameter can be nested within the rod 221 with a larger diameter. When the lifting rod is fully retracted, the multiple rods 221 are nested in sequence, shortening the length of the lifting rod in its shortest state, reducing space occupation, and ensuring that the bearing plate 211 and the watch to be tested can be completely immersed in the test liquid. The outer rods 221 can also protect the inner rods 221, further improving the reliability of this embodiment.

[0039] When the lifting rod is extended, multiple rods 221 extend outward in sequence to ensure the length of the lifting rod when it is fully extended, so that the supporting plate 211 and the tested watch can be completely separated from the test liquid, thereby ensuring the stability and reliability of the testing process of this embodiment.

[0040] In some embodiments, for example, Figure 1 、 Figure 2As shown, the rod body 221 near the load-bearing portion 210 is a connecting rod 222. The load-bearing portion 210 is provided with a mounting area 213, and the connecting rod 222 is inserted into the mounting area 213. A sealing rubber ring 214 is provided between the connecting rod 222 and the mounting area 213. The installation of the connecting rod 222 on the mounting area 213 of the load-bearing portion 210, on the one hand, can ensure the reliable installation of the connecting rod 222 and the load-bearing portion 210, ensuring the rational structure of this embodiment; on the other hand, the installation area 213 on the load-bearing portion 210 can also provide positioning during the installation process of the connecting rod 222, reducing the difficulty of assembling the connecting rod 222 and the load-bearing portion 210, making this embodiment easier to produce.

[0041] A sealing rubber ring 214 is provided between the connecting rod 222 and the mounting area 213 to ensure the sealing between the connecting rod 222 and the bearing portion 210, thereby preventing the test liquid from entering the connecting rod 222 when the present embodiment is in use, thereby protecting the connecting rod 222. At the same time, the assembly point between the connecting rod 222 and the mounting area 213 is also protected to prevent the test liquid from contacting the assembly point and affecting the assembly effect.

[0042] In some embodiments, for example, Figure 1 、 Figure 2 As shown, a channel 223 is formed in the rod body 221, and the channels 223 in multiple rod bodies 221 are interconnected. The channel 223 formed in the rod body 221 can effectively reduce the overall weight of the lifting rod, making the splicing and installation process of the lifting rod easier to operate, and reducing the assembly difficulty of this embodiment.

[0043] The channels 223 in the multiple rod bodies 221 are interconnected, which makes it easy to control the multiple rod bodies 221, that is, to control the lifting rod. Specifically, when gas is introduced into the channels 223, since the channels 223 in the multiple rod bodies 221 are all sealed, the introduced gas will push the multiple rod bodies 221 away from each other, that is, the multiple rod bodies 221 will extend in sequence, and the lifting rod will extend. When gas is extracted from the channels 223, the multiple rod bodies 221 will be driven by air pressure to move closer to each other, that is, the multiple rod bodies 221 will fit together in sequence, and the lifting rod will shorten. Accordingly, the lifting rod can also be controlled by hydraulic drive, and the control principle is the same as the above-mentioned gas control principle, that is, injecting liquid into the channels 223 can drive the lifting rod to extend, and extracting liquid from the channels 223 can drive the lifting rod to shorten.

[0044] In some embodiments, for example, Figure 1As shown, the lifting unit 220 further includes a driver 300, which includes a control element, a driver element, and a connecting element. The control element is electrically connected to the driver element, and the connecting element is plugged into the driver element. The connecting element includes a connecting tube 310, which is connected to the channel 223. The control element can send a signal to control the activation or deactivation of the driver element. The driver element can input or extract gas into the channel 223 through the connecting tube 310. When using this embodiment, the operator controls the driver element through the control element. When the lifting unit 220 needs to be extended, that is, when the lifting rods need to be extended, the driver element inputs gas into the channel 223 through the connecting tube 310, controlling the multiple rods 221 to extend step by step, thereby extending the lifting unit 220. When the lifting unit 220 needs to be retracted, that is, when the lifting rods need to be shortened, the driver element extracts gas from the channel 223 through the connecting tube 310. Under the action of the gas pressure, the multiple rods 221 are compressed and fitted step by step, shortening the lifting rods.

[0045] The driving element can be configured as any device according to actual needs. For example, in this embodiment, the driving element is configured as an air pump, with one end of the connecting tube 310 plugged into the output port of the air pump, allowing the air pump to input or extract gas into or out of the channel 223 through the connecting tube 310. It is understood that the driving element can also be configured as a water pump, with one end of the connecting tube 310 plugged into the output port of the water pump, allowing the water pump to input or extract liquid into or out of the channel 223 through the connecting tube 310, and similarly being able to normally drive the multiple rods 221 to extend or retract.

[0046] In this embodiment, the control element further includes a control unit and an operating unit. The control unit is configured as a control circuit board, and both the drive element and the operating unit are electrically connected to the control circuit board. During use, the operator can visually see the position of the support unit 210 and then use the operating unit to send an electrical signal to the control circuit board to control the movement of the lifting unit 220, allowing normal testing.

[0047] In some embodiments, for example, Figure 1 As shown, multiple lifting portions 220 are evenly distributed along the edge of the load-bearing portion 210, and the channels 223 in each lifting portion 220 are connected to the connecting tube 310. Providing multiple lifting portions 220 along the edge of the load-bearing portion 210 can make the load-bearing portion 210 more evenly stressed, and the lifting portions 220 provide more stable and reliable support for the load-bearing portion 210, further improving the overall structural strength of this embodiment. The channels 223 in each lifting portion 220 are connected to the connecting tube 310, which means that the multiple lifting portions 220 can extend or shorten synchronously, making the movement of the load-bearing portion 210 smoother and preventing uneven stress on the load-bearing portion 210.

[0048] In some embodiments, for example, Figure 1As shown, the lifting portion 220 is arranged vertically, and the connection between the lifting portion 220 and the connecting pipe 310 is arranged at the bottom of the lifting portion 220. In this way, when the lifting rod is extended or shortened to any length, the connecting pipe 310 can still input or extract the medium into the channel 223 through the connection, further ensuring the stability and reliability of this embodiment during use.

[0049] In some embodiments, for example, Figure 1 As shown, the driver 300 is disposed outside the housing 100. A connecting groove is defined in the housing 100, through which a connecting tube 310 extends into the housing 100. The connecting tube 310 is sealedly connected to the connecting groove. Since the driver 300 is disposed outside the housing 100, it does not need to come into contact with the test liquid, and there is no need to consider sealing or waterproofing the driver 300, thus reducing the difficulty of installing the driver 300. The connecting tube 310 extends through the sealed connecting groove into the housing 100, preventing the test liquid within the housing 100 from leaking outward from the connecting groove, thereby ensuring the reliability of this embodiment.

[0050] The present application also provides a watch testing device, which includes the test water tank in any one of the above embodiments.

[0051] The watch testing device provided in this embodiment, including the test water tank in any one of the above embodiments, also has all the beneficial effects of the test water tank, which will not be described in detail here.

[0052] It should be noted that, unless there is any conflict, the features in the embodiments of this application can be combined with each other.

[0053] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. Various modifications and variations are possible for those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present application shall be included within the scope of protection of the present application.
