Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of clock and watch assembly devices, in particular to a device that is convenient for assembling clock and watch workpieces. Background Art

[0002] The parts inside a clock generally include several transition wheels, torsion springs, brake claws and rotating bodies. With the continuous development of science and technology, the assembly method of clocks has changed. The assembly of some clocks has gradually replaced manual assembly with mechanical assembly, which greatly improves the efficiency of clock assembly.

[0003] A search revealed an invention patent with publication number CN117420748, which specifically discloses a watch assembly method, including the following steps: 1. Gear train assembly: S11, securing the base; S12, assembling the second transition wheel; S13, assembling the first transition wheel; S14, assembling the riding wheel; S15, assembling the balance wheel; S16, assembling the rotating body; S17, assembling the pressure plate fixture; 2. Assembly of the rotating body and the brake pawl: S21, rotating the rotating body; S22, assembling the left brake pawl; S23, assembling the right brake pawl; 3. Assembly of the upper cover, left torsion spring, and right torsion spring: S31, removing the pressure plate fixture using an external device; S32, assembling the left torsion spring; S33, assembling the right torsion spring; S34, assembling the upper cover. Advantages: This method automatically overcomes the problem of gear misalignment, achieving automatic meshing between gears without requiring prior gear position correction, improving assembly efficiency and reducing assembly costs. The assembly sequence of the entire steps can effectively improve the efficiency of watch assembly, reduce assembly costs, and reduce the difficulty of watch verification after assembly.

[0004] In the above patent, multiple parts cooperate with each other to achieve the need for pre-correction of the position of the gears, thereby improving assembly efficiency and reducing assembly costs. Mechanical assembly generally uses a multi-axis manipulator to drive the clamps or suction cups to adsorb and clamp the parts, and then place the parts in the watch case. However, after multiple parts are placed on the existing tooling, because the tooling is installed and fixed under the clamps, when the tooling is transported and installed on the assembly platform, the shaking of the positioning tooling is likely to cause the parts to shake, resulting in inaccurate positioning of the parts by the suction cups and clamps, and making it difficult to remove the parts from the tooling, affecting the efficiency of mechanical assembly.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary for us to propose a device for assembling clockwork to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

Through the mutual cooperation between the internal parts of the clamping mechanism, the positioning tooling can be moved during transportation, and the parts are clamped and fixed in the positioning tooling. Through the mutual cooperation between the internal parts of the telescopic mechanism, it is convenient to drive the parts to extend a part from the positioning tooling, so as to facilitate the assembly of the clamping claw assembly to locate and pick up the parts on the positioning tooling, so as to solve the problem in the prior art that when the tooling is transported and installed on the assembly platform, the shaking of the positioning tooling easily drives the parts to shake, resulting in inaccurate positioning of the parts by the suction cup and the clamping claw, and making it difficult to remove the parts from the tooling, thereby affecting the efficiency of mechanical assembly.

A clamping block is connected and fixed to one side of the top end of the support shaft.

[0009] Preferably, the telescopic mechanism includes a conical block, which is connected and fixed to the top of the support column and is located inside the positioning tool. The positioning tool is slidably connected to a connecting column inside and is located on one side of the conical block. The top of the connecting column is connected and fixed to the telescopic column and is slidably connected to the inside of the positioning tool.
