Moreover, there are two sets of second positioning posts 202, which are distributed diagonally in the mounting groove 205 to ensure a precise connection between the product mold core 3 and the mounting groove 205, thereby improving the efficiency of subsequent automated processing.

[0030] Referring to Figure 3, threaded holes 206 are provided at the bottom inner part of the mounting groove 205. At least two sets of threaded holes 206 are provided, preferably four sets. Corresponding through holes 303 are provided on the product mold core 3. The product mold core 3 is then fixed to the mounting groove 205 with bolts. During use, the presence of threaded holes 206 in the mounting groove 205 and corresponding through holes 303 on the product mold core 3 facilitates bolt fixation of the product mold core 3 within the mounting groove 205, ensuring connection strength during use. Furthermore, it allows for easy assembly and disassembly, enabling the replacement of different product mold cores 3 and improving performance. In use, the product mold core 3 can be redesigned for use in other projects, adapting to the mainstream trend of rapid market changeovers, reducing project development time, and achieving rapid changeover. Alternatively, the product mold core 3 can be fixed to the mounting groove 205 using snap-fit ​​or pin methods.

[0031] Referring to Figures 1-3, a second magnetic post 301 for magnetic attraction with the watch case is fixedly provided on the product mold core 3. In use, by fixing the second magnetic post 301 on the product mold core 3, the possibility of the watch falling can be reduced during the transfer process, thus improving production safety.

[0032] Referring to Figures 1-3, a stepped hole 201 is made in the mounting groove 205. The stepped hole 201 is preferably made in the center of the mounting groove 205. A product suction cup 501 for adsorbing the watch case is fixedly installed in the stepped hole 201. An avoidance hole 304 is made on the product mold core 3. One end of the product suction cup 501 extends into the avoidance hole 304. An air passage 103 connected to the product suction cup 501 is made in the carrier base 1 to facilitate the connection of the air pipe connector and the air source. The air source can be a vacuum generator or a vacuum pump. In use, by placing the watch on the product mold core 3 and then installing the product carrier 2 on the carrier base 1, the air source is turned on. The watch case can be fixed on the product carrier 2 through the product suction cup 501, which can improve the fixing strength and prevent the watch from moving during the processing, thus affecting the processing effect.

[0033] Referring to Figure 3, a placement groove 105 is provided on the top end face of the tray base 1. The product tray 2 is slidably placed in the placement groove 105, and a first positioning post 101 is fixedly installed in the placement groove 105. A pin hole is provided in the placement groove 105, and the first positioning post 101 is installed in the pin hole. The first positioning post 101 and the pin hole are interference fit. There are two to six sets of the first positioning post 101, preferably three sets, which are arranged in a triangle to prevent mistaken connection and ensure the accuracy of the product tray 2 connection. A first positioning hole 204 is provided on the product tray 2, and a positioning sleeve 203 is slidably installed in the first positioning hole 204. The outer surface of the positioning sleeve 203 is... The inner wall of the first positioning hole 204 is interference-fitted with the inner wall of the first positioning hole 204. The first positioning post 101 is slidably set in the positioning sleeve 203. A limiting component for restricting the sliding of the product carrier 2 is provided in the carrier base 1. In use, by fixing the first positioning post 101 on the carrier base 1, the accuracy of the product carrier 2 during installation can be guaranteed and the accuracy during repeated positioning can be improved. Moreover, the positioning sleeve 203 is set in the first positioning hole 204. Since the product carrier 2 needs to be frequently disassembled and connected to the carrier base 1, the first positioning post 101 and the positioning sleeve 203 can be replaced when they are worn, avoiding the need to remake the product carrier 2 and the carrier base 1, and reducing the cost of use.

[0034] Referring to Figures 2 and 3, the limiting component can be a screw or a clip. Here, based on actual usage, the limiting component is preferably a carrier suction cup 5. A mounting hole 102 communicating with the air passage 103 is provided in the placement groove 105. The axis of the mounting hole 102 coincides with that of the stepped hole 201. One end of the carrier suction cup 5 is fixedly placed in the mounting hole 102, and the other end of the carrier suction cup 5 abuts against the bottom end face of the stepped hole 201. In use, the product carrier 2 is installed in the placement groove 105. After installation, the air source is turned on. At this time, the carrier suction cup 5 can adsorb the product carrier 2 in the placement groove 105, and the product suction cup 501 can also fix the watch at the same time to prevent the product carrier 2 from moving during processing and affecting the processing accuracy.

[0042] Step 4: Manually start the machine to complete the processes of hot melting, gluing, hot pressing, and magnet installation of the watch.

[0043] II. Automated Operations (Ref. 4):

[0044] Step 1: Take four products, place them in product tray 2, and then place them on the conveyor belt.

[0045] Step 2: After the product carrier 2 enters the guide plate, the sensor inside the guide plate senses the carrier, and the robotic arm pulls the guide plate from the flow to pick up the product carrier 2. Gripping grooves 207 are provided on the outer walls of both sides of the product carrier 2 to facilitate the gripping operation.

[0046] Step 3: After clamping the product carrier tray 2, place it in the carrier tray base 1 for positioning and fixation;

[0048] This utility model can simultaneously clamp four watch products, enabling one-time clamping of multiple products using the same process. This reduces operator handling of product handling actions, alleviates operator fatigue, lowers the risk of injury during product handling, and improves production efficiency. The same product carrier 2 is used for positioning and clamping operations in processes such as watch hot melting, dispensing, hot pressing, and magnet installation, ensuring consistency across multiple processes and allowing for universal transfer within multiple workstations. The product carrier 2 has pre-reserved gripper grooves 207 for a robotic arm, enabling automated transfer operations across multiple workstations and providing a reference case for automated product clamping in watch manufacturing. Standardizing the multi-process product clamping fixture makes it universally applicable across multiple processes, reducing fixture manufacturing costs.
