[0028] By adopting the above technical solution, the insertion strip 442 is moved and inserted into the insertion slot 441. The fixing rod 443 then passes through the U-shaped frame 41 through the fixing slot 444. Then, the fixing screw 446 is rotated to make it rotate and move along the fixing plate 447. The rotation and movement of the fixing screw 446 drives the fixing plate 445 to rotate and move. When the fixing plate 445 is moved and inserted into the fixing hole on the fixing rod 443, the rotation of the fixing screw 446 is stopped. This facilitates the disassembly and assembly of the mounting bracket 42 and the U-shaped frame 41, and also facilitates the cleaning of the sponge pad 43.

[0029] In this embodiment, the connector strip 442 is moved and inserted into the connector slot 441. The fixing rod 443 then passes through the U-shaped frame 41 through the fixing slot 444. The fixing screw 446 is then rotated to rotate and move along the fixing plate 447. The rotation and movement of the fixing screw 446 drives the fixing plate 445 to rotate and move. When the fixing plate 445 is moved and inserted into the fixing hole on the fixing rod 443, the rotation of the fixing screw 446 is stopped. When it is necessary to inspect the appearance of the watch strap, one end of the watch strap is inserted into the two sponge pads 43 through one end of the mounting bracket 42, and the watch strap is moved to the other end of the mounting bracket 42. During the movement of the watch strap, the two sponge pads 43 can wipe and clean the surface of the watch strap to remove the debris adhering to the surface of the watch strap, ensuring the cleanliness of the watch strap surface and thus ensuring the accuracy of the subsequent appearance inspection of the watch strap. The wiped and cleaned watch strap is then placed on the placement mechanism 1, and the appearance of the watch strap on the placement mechanism 1 is photographed and inspected by the inspection mechanism 2.

[0030] Example 2

[0031] The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that the protective component 5 includes a protective cover 51, a vertical frame 52, a side plate 53, and a connecting spring 54. The vertical frame 52 is fixedly connected inside the outer casing 3 and to one side of the U-shaped frame 41. The side plate 53 is slidably connected inside the vertical frame 52. A connecting spring 54 is fixedly connected between the vertical frame 52 and the side plate 53. The protective cover 51 is fixedly connected to the end of the side plate 53 away from the vertical frame 52.

[0032] Specifically, a guide post is fixedly connected inside the vertical frame 52, and a guide hole is provided on the side plate 53 at the position corresponding to the guide post.

[0033] By adopting the above technical solution, the side plate 53 can be guided during its movement by the cooperation of the guide post and the guide hole, thereby improving the stability of the side plate 53's movement.

[0034] Specifically, the protective component 5 also includes insertion holes 55 and insertion screws 56. Insertion holes 55 are provided on both the side plate 53 and the vertical frame 52, and insertion screws 56 are threaded into the two insertion holes 55.

[0035] By adopting the above technical solution, the protective cover 51 is moved upward, which causes the side plate 53 to move upward and fit against the inner top wall of the vertical frame 52 and the connecting spring 54 to stretch. Then, the plug-in screw 56 is rotated and screwed into the two plug-in holes 55. The side plate 53 and the vertical frame 52 can be plugged and fixed by the plug-in screw 56, which can limit and fix the protective cover 51, so as to avoid the protective cover 51 affecting the normal use of the sponge pad 43.

[0036] In this embodiment, when the watch strap test is complete and the sponge pad 43 is no longer needed, the plug screw 56 is rotated out from inside the two plug holes 55. The connecting spring 54 loses its external force and returns to its original state, causing the side plate 53 to move down inside the vertical frame 52. The side plate 53 moves down, causing the protective cover 51 to move down. When the protective cover 51 moves and fits against the inner wall of the outer shell 3, the protective cover 51 is blocked and stops moving. Under the action of the protective cover 51, the U-shaped frame 41 can be blocked, thereby achieving the sealing and protection of the sponge pad 43, preventing dust and other impurities from the external environment from falling onto the sponge pad 43, causing the sponge pad 43 to be contaminated, and affecting the subsequent wiping and cleaning effect of the sponge pad 43.

[0037] The structure and principle of the placement mechanism 1, which consists of a placement base, a placement groove, and pressure sensors, have been disclosed in Chinese patent application No. 202323361908.9, which discloses a silicone watch strap appearance inspection device. Its working principle is as follows: a placement base is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the outer shell 3. A placement groove is opened above the placement base. Three pressure sensors are connected to the bottom of the placement groove. When the watch strap needs to be inspected, the watch strap is placed inside the placement groove. When all three pressure sensors feel pressure, it indicates that the watch strap is properly placed, which facilitates the subsequent inspection of the watch strap's appearance.

[0038] The structure and principle of the detection mechanism 2 composed of a display lamp group, a switch base, a support column, a servo motor, a connecting rod, a clamping block, a first ring, a second ring, a connecting block, an adjustment column, a camera, and a switch button in the present utility model have been disclosed in a silicone watch band appearance detection device with a Chinese patent application number of 202323361908.9. Its working principle is as follows: A support column is connected to the bottom of the outer shell 3. The support column is close to the inner side wall of the outer shell 3. A fixed block is connected to the support column. The first ring and the second ring are fixed to the support column through the fixed block. A servo motor is installed on the top of the outer shell 3. The driving end of the servo motor is connected to a connecting rod. The bottom of the connecting rod is connected to a clamping block. The two sides of the clamping block are respectively slidably connected between the first ring and the second ring. The bottom of the clamping block is connected to a connecting block. The bottom of the connecting block is connected to an adjustment column that can be used to adjust the angle. The camera is connected to the bottom of the adjustment column. A switch base is connected to the bottom of the outer shell 3 near the front side. A switch button is installed on the switch base. The switch button is used to control the rotation of the servo motor. A display lamp group is installed inside the outer shell 3. The display lamp group is connected to the front side of the placement mechanism 1. Four lamps are installed on the display lamp group. The four lamps have two colors, red and green. The four lamps are three red lamps and one green lamp respectively. The four lamps are cylindrical. The four lamps are arranged in a linear array. In order, these four lamps are red, red, red, green. The red lamp indicates that there is a defect or it is not placed properly. The green lamp indicates a genuine product with no defect recognized in the appearance. When in use, place the watch band inside the placement mechanism 1. After the display lamp group indicates that the watch band is placed properly, use the switch button on the switch base to control the rotation of the servo motor. Control the rotation of the servo motor to make the connecting rod connected to the clamping block perform a circular motion. Use the adjustment column to adjust the angle of the camera, so that the two cameras perform a circular motion around the first ring and the second ring, and then let the camera take photos of all angles of the watch band. Analyze the appearance defects of the silicone watch band through the lights, and use the display lamp group to display whether the appearance detection of the watch band is qualified.

[0039] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: The insert strip 442 is moved and inserted into the insert groove 441. The fixing rod 443 then passes through the U-shaped frame 41 via the fixing groove 444. The fixing screw 446 is then rotated, causing it to rotate and move along the fixing plate 447. The rotation of the fixing screw 446 drives the fixing plate 445 to rotate and move. When the fixing plate 445 is inserted into the fixing hole on the fixing rod 443, the rotation of the fixing screw 446 is stopped. When it is necessary to inspect the appearance of the watch strap, one end of the watch strap is inserted between two sponge pads 43 through one end of the mounting bracket 42, and the watch strap is moved towards the other end of the mounting bracket 42. During the movement of the watch strap, the two sponge pads 43 can wipe and clean the surface of the watch strap, removing any debris adhering to the surface and ensuring the cleanliness of the watch strap surface. This ensures the accuracy of subsequent watch strap appearance inspection. After wiping and cleaning, the watch strap is placed on the placement mechanism 1. Then, the inspection mechanism 2 takes pictures of the watch strap on the placement mechanism 1 for inspection. When the watch strap inspection is completed and the sponge pad 43 is no longer needed, the insertion screw 56 is rotated out from the two insertion holes 55. The connecting spring 54 loses its external force and returns to its original shape, causing the side plate 53 to move down inside the vertical frame 52. The side plate 53 moves down, causing the protective cover 51 to move down. When the protective cover 51 moves and fits against the inner wall of the outer shell 3, the protective cover 51 stops moving. Under the action of the protective cover 51, the U-shaped frame 41 can be blocked, thereby achieving the sealing and protection of the sponge pad 43. This prevents dust and other impurities from the external environment from falling onto the sponge pad 43, causing the sponge pad 43 to be contaminated and affecting the subsequent wiping and cleaning effect of the sponge pad 43.
