[0025] like Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the present invention provides a watch case mounting device for connecting a watch cover to a watch case 12 .
[0026] In one exemplary embodiment, a watch case mounting device comprises:
[0027] A rack 1, wherein a driver 3 is provided on the rack 1;
[0028] A clamping mechanism is provided at the output end of the driver 3. The driver 3 can be used to drive the clamping mechanism to rotate, and the watch case 12 can be used to be detachably connected to the clamping mechanism;
[0029] The lifting mechanism is arranged on the frame 1 , and a tightening member 11 is provided on the lifting mechanism. The end of the tightening member 11 is detachably connected to the watch case 12 .
[0030] In this embodiment, the driver 3 provided on the frame 1 can drive the entire clamping mechanism to rotate. After the clamping mechanism clamps the watch cover, the driver 3 can drive the watch cover to rotate, and at the same time, a relative rotation is formed between the tightening part on the lifting mechanism and the watch case 12, thereby realizing the installation of the watch cover to the watch case 12. The entire process is automatically performed by mechanical equipment without manual operation, thereby improving the installation efficiency of the watch case 12 and reducing the risk of the watch case 12 being scratched.
[0031] In this embodiment, the lifting mechanism and driver 3 are provided to accurately control the relative position between the watch cover and the watch case 12, and the rotation angle of the watch case 12 can also be accurately controlled. For batch products, the watch case 12 is more uniform after installation.
[0032] In an exemplary embodiment, a mounting plate 2 is provided at the output end of the driver 3, and the clamping mechanism includes a clamp 4 and a guide plate. The clamp 4 and the guide plate are both arranged on the mounting plate 2. A clamping assembly is provided at the output end of the clamp 4, and the clamping assemblies can clamp the cover close to each other or move away from each other to loosen the cover.
[0033] In this embodiment, the mounting plate 2 is provided so that the clamping mechanism can be fixed on the mounting plate 2. When the output ends of the clamps 4 are close to each other, the clamping assembly clamps the watch cover. When the output ends of the clamps 4 are away from each other, the clamping assembly loosens the watch case 12.
[0034] Exemplarily, the driver 3 in this embodiment has a servo function, which can drive the mounting plate 2 to rotate at a specified angle according to the instructions of the controller. After rotating to the specified angle, the watch cover can be fixed on the watch case 12 to complete the installation. Exemplarily, the clamp 4 in this embodiment uses a double-headed cylinder to control the movement of the clamping blocks 6 on both sides.
[0035] Exemplarily, the clamping assembly includes a clamping plate 5 and a clamping block 6. The clamping plate 5 is fixedly connected to the output end of the clamp 4. The clamping block 6 is detachably connected to the side of the clamping plates 5 where they are brought closer together. When the clamping plates 5 are brought closer together, the clamping block 6 clamps the watch cover. In this embodiment, the clamping plates 5 are symmetrically arranged and move synchronously (moving closer or farther together synchronously), thereby ensuring that the watch cover body is positioned in the middle position.
[0036] For example, the clamping block 6 is provided with a clamping groove 7 that can match the watch cover. The clamping groove 7 allows the clamping blocks 6 to adapt to the shape of the watch cover when they are close to each other, thereby forming a stable holding force and improving the stability of the watch case 12 when the watch cover is installed.
[0037] Illustratively, in this embodiment, a layer of buffer pad may be attached to the surface of the clamping groove 7 to avoid scratches or other damage to the outer wall of the watch case 12 .
[0038] In an exemplary embodiment, the guide plate is arranged between the clamping plates 5, and a plurality of connecting columns are provided on the side of the guide plate close to the mounting plate 2. The connecting columns are detachably connected to the mounting plate 2, and a guide groove is provided on the guide plate, and the clamping block 6 moves in the guide groove.
[0039] In this embodiment, the guide plate can be fixed by setting up multiple connecting columns, and the guide plate is located between the clamping blocks 6. When the clamping blocks 6 are approaching or moving away from each other, due to the guiding effect of the guide groove, the movement of the clamping blocks 6 is more stable, and the clamping blocks 6 are prevented from tilting during the movement, thereby stably clamping the watch cover and effectively improving the tightening effect of the watch cover.
[0040] In an exemplary embodiment, the lifting mechanism includes a cylinder 10, a guide rail 8 and a slider 9, the guide rail 8 is set on the frame 1, the slider 9 is slidably connected to the guide rail 8, the tightening member 11 is detachably connected to the slider 9, the cylinder 10 is set on the frame 1, and the output end of the cylinder 10 is detachably connected to the slider 9. The cylinder 10 can be used to drive the tightening member 11 to move vertically.
[0041] In this embodiment, the cylinder 10 is provided, which can drive the slider 9 to move on the guide rail 8, and the guide rail 8 is provided in the vertical direction. Therefore, the slider 9 can move freely in the vertical direction, and the driving force is the cylinder 10. When the slider 9 moves, the tightening member 11 fixed on the slider 9 can drive the watch cover to move synchronously. Specifically: the metal rod on the watch case 12 is equipped with a hexagonal nut 13, and the tightening member 11 can clamp the hexagonal nut 13 so that the watch case 12 body can be fixed on the tightening member 11. In the process of installing the watch case 12, the watch cover and the watch case 12 will be pre-installed first. The watch cover and the watch case 12 body have four positioning convex rings. The convex rings are existing technology and will not be repeated here. When the watch case 12 and the watch cover are fixed, the convex rings are fixed. After the pre-installation is completed, the watch cover is initially fixed under the watch case 12, and the tightening member 11 drives the watch case 12 and the watch cover to move downward until the watch cover falls into the guide groove of the guide plate and is located between the two clamping blocks 6. When it is detected that the watch cover is in place, the clamp 4 controls the clamping blocks 6 to approach each other until the watch cover is tightened. When the driver 3 drives the watch case 12 to rotate, since the watch case 12 is fixed by the tightening member 11, a relative rotation is formed between the watch case 12 and the watch cover, and the watch case 12 and the watch cover are tightened to complete the installation.
[0042] For example, the tightening member 11 in this embodiment is connected to the slider 9 through a key, which is convenient for replacement. At the same time, the locking end of the tightening member 11 can also be loosened or clamped to clamp the hexagonal nut 13, so as to facilitate the movement of the watch case 12 up and down.
[0043] For example, in this embodiment, during the process of tightening the watch cover, the watch case 12 will move slightly downward. Therefore, after the watch cover contacts the watch case 12, the watch case 12 will support the watch cover. At this time, the cylinder 10 is exhausted and has the function of automatically moving downward a certain distance. It gradually moves downward during the process of tightening the watch cover to ensure that the watch cover can be smoothly installed on the watch case 12.
[0044] In an exemplary embodiment, the present invention further includes a central control box 14 , and the cylinder 10 and the driver 3 are both electrically connected to the central control box 14 .
[0045] In this embodiment, the central control box 14 can control the cylinder 10 and the driver 3, the rotation angle of the case 12 can be controlled, and the position of the cover can be accurately controlled, thereby improving the automation and intelligence of the entire equipment.
[0046] For example, in this embodiment, the guide rail 8 may also be installed on the central control box 14 to provide support for the guide rail 8 and improve the space utilization of the equipment.
[0047] In an exemplary embodiment, a light barrier 15 is provided on the rack 1 , and the light barrier 15 is electrically connected to the central control box 14 .
[0048] In this embodiment, the light barrier 15 is provided to protect the staff and the machine is stopped in time when an accidental touch or hand insertion is sensed.
[0049] To sum up, the present invention can fix the watch cover on the watch case 12 through the clamping mechanism and lifting mechanism. The entire tightening process is carried out automatically by the equipment, which improves the installation efficiency of the watch case 12 while ensuring the tightening accuracy, and at the same time reduces the risk of the watch case 12 being scratched.
[0050] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Anyone skilled in the art may modify or alter the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or alterations made by one of ordinary skill in the art without departing from the spirit and technical principles disclosed in the present invention are intended to be covered by the claims of the present invention.
