DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0035] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model.

[0037] The fixing mechanism 22 is used for fixing the battery assembly 4, the battery assembly 4 comprises a battery body 41 and an FPC plate 42, one end of the FPC plate 42 is fixed and electrically connected with the battery body 41, and the other end is provided with a male head 43 corresponding to a female head in a circuit board, since the male head 43 and the battery body 41 are connected through the flexible FPC plate 42, the FPC plate 42 can be deformed by moving the male head 43, so as to achieve the purpose of correcting the relative position of the male head 43 and the battery body 41; the fixing mechanism 22 comprises a first fixing assembly 221 for fixing the male head 43 and a second fixing assembly 222 for fixing the battery body 41; the detection mechanism 3 comprises a camera module 31 and a third fixing assembly 32 fixedly connected with the rack 1 respectively, the third fixing assembly 32 is used for fixing the battery body 41, and the camera module 31 is arranged in correspondence with the third fixing assembly 32, so that the camera module 31 can detect and shoot the bottom of the battery assembly 4 fixed in the third fixing assembly 32.
[0038] In use, as shown in the figure, the mechanical arm 21 is driven to move the fixing mechanism 22 to the upper side of the battery assembly 4, then the first fixing assembly 221 and the second fixing assembly 222 are driven to fix the male head 43 and the battery body 41 respectively, then the mechanical arm 21 is driven to synchronously drive the battery assembly 4 to move to the upper side of the third fixing assembly 32, at this time, the second fixing assembly 222 stops fixing the battery body 41, and the third fixing assembly 32 replaces the battery body 41, and the first fixing assembly 221 maintains the state of fixing the male head 43. Figures 8-12
[0039] The camera module 31 detects and shoots the battery assembly 4 fixed on the third fixing assembly 32, so as to detect, identify and match the positions of the male head 43 and the battery body 41, when the relative positions of the male head 43 and the battery body 41 are deviated from the standard relative positions, the two need to be corrected; at this time, on the basis that the third fixing assembly 32 fixes the battery body 41, the mechanical arm 21 drives the first fixing assembly 221 to move to forcibly pull the male head 43, so that the male head 43 moves to the corresponding position and keeps the correct relative position with the battery body 41.
[0040] After the correction is completed or the relative positions are correct and do not need to be corrected, the third fixing assembly 32 and the second fixing assembly 222 again alternately adsorb the battery body 41, and the mechanical arm 21 moves again, so as to drive the battery assembly 4 to move to the next processing station.
[0041] Since the battery assembly 4 of the watch needs to be fixed in the circuit board of the watch, and the male head 43 of the battery assembly 4 is corresponded with the female head position in the circuit board, before the battery assembly 4 and the circuit board are installed, the relative position of the battery body 41 and the male head 43 in the battery assembly 4 needs to be corrected to ensure the accuracy of assembly and improve the assembly efficiency of the watch; compared with the manual correction in the prior art, the automatic correction of the utility model not only has higher accuracy and lower error rate, but also only includes shooting detection and correction movement in the correction process, so that the correction work of the battery assembly 4 is fast, efficient and has higher accuracy, which greatly promotes the automatic production and processing, effectively reduces the labor cost to a certain extent, and further improves the production efficiency and assembly quality.

By clamping and fixing the male head 43 from three sides, the clamping force of the first fixing assembly 221 on the male head 43 is further improved, so as to facilitate the synchronous movement of the first fixing assembly 221 and the male head 43 driven by the movement of the mechanical arm 21, further improve the control force of the mechanical arm 21 on the movement of the male head 43, and make the deviation correction more accurate and faster.
[0046] Further, as shown in Figure 6 , the height H1 of the protrusion 2213 is greater than or equal to the thickness H2 of the male head 43, so as to increase the contact area between the first fixing assembly 221 and the side wall of the male head 43, and thus make the clamping more stable.
