[0088] Please refer to Figure 1-3 This utility model provides a watch ribbon cable testing machine, including a machine base 1, a support 2, a probe mechanism 3 and a rotating pressing mechanism 4;

[0089] The following section will elaborate on the specific structure, function, and interconnections of each component:

[0090] The support base 2, probe mechanism 3, and rotary pressing mechanism 4 are all reasonably and securely mounted on the machine base 1 to ensure the stability and reliability of the entire testing machine during operation.

[0091] The support base 2 serves as a support component for the watch case, specifically designed to support the watch case to be tested. To facilitate the electrical connection between the probe mechanism 3 and the watch cable, the support base 2 is specially provided with a clearance opening. The size and shape of this clearance opening are carefully designed to accommodate the extension requirements of the probe mechanism 3 and the rotating pressing mechanism 4 without causing unnecessary damage to the watch case.

[0092] The probe mechanism 3 and the rotating pressing mechanism 4 extend precisely from the clearance opening and interact with the watch cable located within the support 2. The core function of the probe mechanism 3 is to establish a stable electrical connection with the watch cable, transmitting specific electrical signals to comprehensively and accurately test various performance indicators of the cable. The probe mechanism 3 employs a high-precision probe design, ensuring stable and reliable contact with the cable, thereby improving testing accuracy.

[0093] The rotating pressing mechanism 4, located directly above the probe mechanism 3, is ingeniously designed and highly functional. During testing, the rotating pressing mechanism 4 first rotates to adjust its position and angle, ensuring accurate alignment with the watch's ribbon cable. Then, it applies downward pressure, stably pressing the watch's ribbon cable onto the probe mechanism 3, ensuring good electrical contact between the cable and the probe. This design not only improves testing stability but also effectively prevents cable displacement or damage during testing.

[0094] It is worth noting that the watch cable testing machine provided in this embodiment of the invention successfully replaces the traditional manual operation method by introducing advanced automated equipment. This innovative change brings many significant advantages. First, from the perspective of testing efficiency, the automated equipment can complete the testing of a large number of watch cables in a short time, greatly improving testing efficiency and meeting the needs of large-scale production. Second, in terms of testing accuracy, the automated equipment avoids interference from human factors on the test results, ensuring the accuracy and stability of the test. Through precise electrical signal transmission and data analysis, the testing machine can accurately detect potential problems in the cable, such as poor contact, short circuit, and open circuit, thus providing strong technical support for the quality control of watches. In addition, the unique design of the rotating pressing mechanism 4 plays an important role in the testing process. It can not only stably fix the watch cable, preventing it from shifting or being damaged during testing, but also further ensure the integrity and reliability of the watch cable. This design provides a strong guarantee for the normal operation of the watch and helps to improve the overall quality and service life of the watch.

[0095] In summary, the watch cable testing machine provided by this utility model embodiment has significant innovation and practicality. It not only improves testing efficiency and ensures testing accuracy, but also effectively guarantees the integrity and reliability of the watch cable. Therefore, this watch cable testing machine has important practical significance and broad application prospects, and is expected to bring revolutionary changes to the watch manufacturing industry.

[0096] Please refer to this again. Figure 1 and in conjunction with references Figure 4-5 In one embodiment of this invention, the watch cable testing machine is further equipped with a key component called a sealing cover 5.

[0097] The sealing cover 5 is precisely positioned on the machine base 1, its installation location carefully considered to ensure that the core components, such as the support base 2, probe mechanism 3, and rotating pressing mechanism 4, are completely enclosed within it. Structurally, the sealing cover 5 is typically made of high-strength, corrosion-resistant materials, and its shape is designed to closely fit the overall contours of the machine base 1 and the components being covered, ensuring sealing performance without hindering the normal operation of the testing machine.

[0098] At the functional level, the sealing cover 5 plays a crucial role. Firstly, it effectively prevents harmful substances such as dust, moisture, and impurities from entering the testing machine. During watch cable testing, the cable requires extremely high cleanliness and stability of the environment. Dust and impurities may adhere to the cable or probes, affecting the reliability of electrical connections and leading to deviations in test results; while moisture intrusion may cause serious malfunctions such as short circuits, damaging the testing machine and the watch under test. The presence of the sealing cover 5 creates a relatively independent, stable, and clean working environment inside the testing machine, greatly reducing the interference of external environmental factors on the test results and ensuring the accuracy and stability of the test.

[0099] On the other hand, the sealing cover 5 also provides a certain degree of safety protection. During the operation of the testing machine, components such as the probe mechanism 3 and the rotating pressing mechanism 4 undergo high-speed and precise movements. The sealing cover 5 prevents operators from accidentally contacting these moving parts, avoiding safety accidents and ensuring the personal safety of the operators. At the same time, it also prevents external objects from accidentally impacting the internal components of the testing machine, reducing the risk of equipment damage and extending the service life of the testing machine.

[0100] Furthermore, from a manufacturing process perspective, the design and installation of the sealing cover 5 fully considers the precision of its fit with the machine base 1 and other components. Advanced processing techniques and precision assembly technology are employed during manufacturing to ensure a tight, secure connection between the sealing cover 5 and the machine base 1, resulting in excellent sealing performance. Simultaneously, the surface of the sealing cover 5 undergoes special treatments, such as anti-static and anti-corrosion treatments, to adapt to different working environments and usage requirements.

[0101] In summary, in this embodiment, the added sealing cover 5 provides comprehensive protection and support for the watch cable testing machine. It not only improves the accuracy and stability of the test and ensures the safety of the operators, but also extends the service life of the equipment, possessing significant engineering application value and practical significance.

[0102] Please refer to this again. Figure 4-5 In one embodiment of this invention, the sealing cover 5 is ingeniously designed in terms of structure, and adopts a combination of a cover body 501 and a flip door 502.

[0103] The main body 501 of the cover serves as the main frame structure of the sealing cover 5, bearing the important responsibility of supporting and protecting the internal components. Its overall design fully considers its compatibility with the machine base 1, the support seat 2, the probe mechanism 3, the rotating pressing mechanism 4, and other components to ensure a stable and enclosed working space after installation. An opening is intentionally provided on the main body 501; this opening is not arbitrary but precisely calculated and rationally planned. Its position and size are designed to meet the needs of operators for daily maintenance, debugging, and replacement of internal components, while also ensuring a good seal with the flip door 502 when closed, effectively preventing external environmental factors from affecting the interior of the testing machine.

[0104] The flip door 502 is cleverly installed at the opening, and its core function is to close the opening, thereby maintaining the sealed environment inside the sealing cover 5. In terms of specific structure, the flip door 502 is further subdivided into two parts: a first door body 5021 and a second door body 5022.

[0105] The first door body 5021 and the cover body 501 are connected by a hinge. The hinge structure features flexible rotation and high stability, allowing the first door body 5021 to rotate at a certain angle around the cover body 501. The hinged connection also has good sealing performance, ensuring a tight seal with the cover body 501 when the first door body 5021 is closed, preventing leakage of gas and impurities.

[0106] The second door 5022 is also hinged to the first door 5021. This double-hinged design further increases the flexibility and operability of the flip door 502. When a smaller operating space needs to be opened, the operator can first open the second door 5022, and then further open the first door 5021 according to actual needs, thereby achieving full operation of the internal components of the cover body 501.

[0107] In summary, the unique design of the sealing cover 5 in this embodiment fully considers the actual usage requirements and working environment characteristics of the watch ribbon cable testing machine. Through the reasonable combination of the cover body 501 and the flip door 502, and the double-door hinged design of the first door 5021 and the second door 5022, a stable, reliable, and sealed working environment is provided for the testing machine.

[0108] In one embodiment of this invention, the sealing cover 5 has been carefully designed in terms of its internal structure, and two key components, a light source and a sensor, have been added.

[0109] The sensor is precisely installed inside the sealed cover 5, and its core function is to detect the opening and closing status of the flip door 502 in real time and accurately. This sensor employs advanced detection technology, possessing high sensitivity and high reliability. It can keenly sense changes in the position of the flip door 502, and regardless of whether the flip door 502 is open or closed, the sensor can quickly and accurately feed this information back to the control system. This function provides crucial information for subsequent intelligent control of the light source, making the internal environment management of the entire sealed cover 5 more intelligent and automated.

[0110] The light source is also cleverly housed within the sealed cover 5, its function being to automatically open when the sensor detects that the flip door 502 is closed. When the flip door 502 is closed, the sensor transmits this signal to the control system, which then triggers the light source's activation command. The light emitted by the light source evenly illuminates the entire test area, providing a clear and stable lighting environment for testing the watch cable. Sufficient and stable lighting conditions are crucial for ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the test. The automatic activation function of the light source not only improves testing efficiency and avoids the tediousness and errors of manual operation, but also significantly saves energy consumption. When the flip door 502 is opened, the sensor also promptly detects this and notifies the control system to shut down the light source, thus achieving intelligent energy-saving control of the light source.

[0111] From a practical application perspective, this integrated design of the light source and sensor offers significant advantages. During the test preparation phase, when the flip door 502 is open, the light source is off. This helps save energy and avoids unnecessary light interference, facilitating personnel's entry into the test area for equipment debugging and preparation. Once the personnel have completed preparation and closed the flip door 502, the sensor quickly detects this change and immediately notifies the control system to turn on the light source. At this point, ample light provides excellent illumination for the testing process, ensuring the test proceeds smoothly and thus improving its accuracy and reliability.

[0112] In summary, the light source and sensor installed inside the sealing cover 5 in this embodiment provide an efficient, intelligent, and safe testing environment for the watch cable testing machine by detecting the opening and closing status of the flip door 502 and intelligently controlling the light source.

[0113] Please refer to Figure 6-9 In one embodiment of this invention, the overall structure of the rotating pressing mechanism 4 is ingeniously designed and fully functional, and it mainly includes three core components: a base 401, a rotating pressing block 402, and a spring lifting mechanism 403.

[0114] The base 401, serving as the fundamental support structure for the rotary pressing mechanism 4, is securely mounted on the machine base 1. Its structural design fully considers its compatibility with the machine base 1 and other related components to ensure a stable and reliable working platform after installation. The base 401 is typically made of high-strength, high-rigidity materials to prevent deformation or damage during long-term use. Furthermore, the surface of the base 401 undergoes fine processing, exhibiting excellent flatness and smoothness, providing a precise reference for the installation and operation of the rotary pressing block 402 and the spring lifting mechanism 403.

[0115] The rotating pressing block 402 is a key component of the rotating pressing mechanism 4, and it is rotatably mounted on the base 401. This rotatable mounting allows the rotating pressing block 402 to rotate freely within a certain angle range, thereby achieving the pressing and fixing of the watch cable. One end of the rotating pressing block 402 is designed with a specific shape and size, and its lower end face can accurately contact the watch cable after rotation, applying sufficient downward pressure to firmly fix the cable to the probe mechanism 3. To ensure good contact between the rotating pressing block 402 and the cable, the lower end face is usually treated with special surface treatment processes, such as high-precision grinding and polishing, to improve its surface hardness and wear resistance, while ensuring flatness and stability when in contact with the cable.

[0116] The spring lifting mechanism 403, serving as the elastic support component of the rotating pressing mechanism 4, is cleverly positioned on the base 401 and tightly abuts against the lower end face of the other end of the rotating pressing block 402. The core function of the spring lifting mechanism 403 is to provide a continuous and stable upward elastic support force for the rotating pressing block 402. This elastic support force plays a crucial role in the process of the rotating pressing block 402 pressing down on the cable. It balances the weight of the rotating pressing block 402 itself and some of the reaction force generated during the pressing process, ensuring that the rotating pressing block 402 maintains its rotating pressing state during the pressing process, thus avoiding inaccurate test results.

[0117] In practical applications, the working process of this rotating pressing mechanism 4 is as follows: When testing the watch cable, the rotating pressing block 402 is rotated to a suitable position so that its lower end face contacts the cable. During the process of the rotating pressing block 402 pressing down on the cable, the spring lifting mechanism 403 generates an upward elastic support force, which forms a dynamic balance with the downward pressure of the rotating pressing block 402. After the cable is firmly fixed on the probe mechanism 3, the testing system begins to perform various performance tests. After the test is completed, the rotating pressing block 402 is rotated upward to release the downward pressure on the cable.

[0118] In summary, the rotating pressing mechanism 4 described in this embodiment, through the coordinated operation of the base 401, the rotating pressing block 402, and the spring lifting mechanism 403, achieves precise pressing, fixing, and stable testing of the watch cable. Its reasonable structural design, reliable performance, and convenient operation provide a strong guarantee for the efficient and accurate operation of the watch cable testing machine.

[0119] In one embodiment of this invention, to further enhance the functionality and applicability of the watch cable testing machine, a key component, a horizontal movement mechanism, has been added.

[0120] The base 401, as the core supporting component of the rotary pressing mechanism 4, is not connected to the machine base 1 in a traditional fixed installation manner, but rather through the horizontal moving mechanism to achieve a flexible and precise connection. Specifically, the base 401 is securely placed on the horizontal moving mechanism, and with the help of the precise guidance and driving function provided by the horizontal moving mechanism, the base 401 can move smoothly and steadily along the horizontal direction under the guidance of the horizontal moving mechanism.

[0121] This horizontal movement design has extremely important practical significance. To ensure that the rotating pressing block 402 can accurately and effectively contact the watch cable and press it down to fix it on the probe mechanism 3, the relative position between the rotating pressing block 402 and the watch cable must be precisely adjusted after the watch is loaded. The existence of the horizontal movement mechanism provides a reliable solution for this relative position adjustment.

[0122] When it is necessary to adjust the relative position of the rotating pressure block 402 and the watch cable, simply drive the rotating pressure mechanism 4 to move horizontally along the entire axis via the drive base 401. During the movement, the relative position between the rotating pressure block 402 and the watch cable will change accordingly. The operator can observe and adjust the position of the rotating pressure block 402 in real time according to the actual testing requirements until it reaches the optimal pressure position.

[0123] Please refer to this again. Figure 6-9 In one embodiment of this invention, in order to further optimize the structural function of the watch cable testing machine and improve its stability and accuracy during the testing process, the support base 2 is carefully provided with a positioning hole 6. The opening position and size of this positioning hole 6 are precisely designed to achieve precise cooperation with specific components in the subsequent rotating pressing mechanism 4, laying the foundation for the efficient operation of the testing machine.

[0124] The rotating pressing mechanism 4 is one of the core functional modules of the watch ribbon cable testing machine. Its design is more sophisticated and complex. In addition to the base 401, rotating pressing block 402 and spring lifting mechanism 403 mentioned above, it also adds key components such as pull rod 404, first spring 405 and foolproof mechanism 406.

[0125] The pull rod 404 is inserted through the base 401. Its overall structure is reasonably designed, and the parameters such as the diameter and length of the rod body have been strictly calculated and tested to ensure that it fits tightly and smoothly with the base 401 during the insertion process. It will not wobble due to excessive gaps, which would affect the test accuracy, nor will it increase frictional resistance due to excessive tightness, which would affect the normal movement of the pull rod 404.

[0126] The first spring 405 acts as a precise elastic adjuster, cleverly fitted onto the pull rod 404. Its elastic coefficient has been carefully selected and adjusted to provide just the right elastic locking force during the movement of the pull rod 404. After the base 401 completes its horizontal movement under the guidance of the horizontal moving mechanism, the first spring 405, relying on its own elastic properties, automatically and precisely engages the lower end of the pull rod 404 into the positioning hole 6. This engaging action not only effectively fixes the position of the base 401, preventing accidental movement due to external forces during testing and ensuring the stability of the relative position between the rotating pressure block 402 and the watch cable, but also automates the entire engaging process without manual intervention, greatly improving testing efficiency. Furthermore, to allow unlocking after testing or to meet the needs of different testing scenarios, the upper end of the pull rod 404 is designed for manual pulling. When it is necessary to move the base 401, the operator only needs to gently pull up the upper end of the pull rod 404 to easily release the lower end of the pull rod 404 from the positioning hole 6, so that the base 401 can be restored to a free-moving state, which provides convenience for subsequent testing to complete the unlocking or testing and adjustment.

[0127] The foolproof mechanism 406, as an important safety component of the rotating pressing mechanism 4, is securely mounted on the base 401. Its design fully considers various unexpected situations that may occur during the test, aiming to prevent the pull rod 404 from being accidentally pulled upward when the rotating pressing block 402 is in the rotating pressing state.

[0128] When the rotating pressing block 402 is rotated to the pressing position, the foolproof mechanism 406 automatically forms a physical block with the upper end of the pull rod 404, preventing the pull rod 404 from being pulled upwards. This foolproof protection mechanism greatly improves the safety and reliability of the testing machine, effectively avoiding problems such as equipment damage or inaccurate test results caused by misoperation.

[0129] In practical applications, the working process of this rotating pressing mechanism 4, which includes a pull rod 404, a first spring 405, and a foolproof mechanism 406, is as follows: During the test preparation phase, the operator adjusts the position of the base 401 according to the position of the watch cable and the test requirements, so that the rotating pressing block 402 on it is in a suitable relative position with the cable. After the base 401 is moved into place, the first spring 405 automatically engages the lower end of the pull rod 404 into the positioning hole 6, fixing the position of the base 401. Subsequently, the operator activates the rotating pressing mechanism 4, causing the rotating pressing block 402 to rotate to the pressing position, firmly fixing the cable to the probe mechanism 3. During the pressing process of the rotating pressing block 402, the foolproof mechanism 406 automatically activates, restricting the upper end of the pull rod 404 to prevent it from being accidentally pulled upwards. After the test is completed, the operator first releases the downward pressure of the rotating pressure block 402, then pulls up the upper end of the pull rod 404 to release the lower end of the pull rod 404, so that the base 401 can move freely again in preparation for the next test.

[0130] In summary, the rotating pressing mechanism 4 described in this embodiment achieves precise positioning and stable fixation of the base 401 through the coordinated operation of the pull rod 404, the first spring 405, and the foolproof mechanism 406, effectively preventing misoperation and providing comprehensive protection for the efficient, accurate, and safe operation of the watch ribbon cable testing machine.

[0131] Please refer to this again. Figure 6-9 In one embodiment of this invention, in order to further enhance the safety protection mechanism of the watch cable tester and improve its stability and reliability in complex testing environments, the design of the foolproof mechanism 406 is more ingenious and complex, and its core components include a locking pin 4061, a second spring 4062, and a foolproof block 4063.

[0132] The foolproof block 4063, as a key component of the foolproof mechanism 406, is securely mounted on the base 401 and cleverly fitted onto the upper end of the pull rod 404. This design creates a close linkage between the foolproof block 4063 and the pull rod 404. When the operator pulls up the foolproof block 4063, it directly drives the pull rod 404 to pull up synchronously, thus enabling convenient operation of the pull rod 404. The structural design of the foolproof block 4063 fully considers ergonomic principles; its shape, size, and surface treatment have been carefully optimized, allowing the operator to easily and accurately grasp and pull up the foolproof block 4063, improving the convenience and comfort of operation.

[0133] The locking pin 4061 is the core component of the foolproof mechanism 406, which implements the foolproof function. It is horizontally inserted into the base 401, and its position and orientation are precisely calculated and arranged to ensure accurate contact with the rotating pressing block 402 during its downward pressing process. When the rotating pressing block 402 begins to press down, its lower end gradually contacts one end of the locking pin 4061, applying a horizontal force to it during this contact. This force causes the locking pin 4061 to undergo horizontal displacement within the base 401, thereby engaging its second end with the foolproof block 4063. Once this engagement is achieved, it effectively restricts the movement of the foolproof block 4063, thereby indirectly restricting the upward pull of the pull rod 404 and preventing the pull rod 404 from being accidentally pulled upward when the rotating pressing block 402 is in the rotating pressing state. The structural design of the locking pin 4061 fully considers its stress and locking strength. The locking part of its second end with the anti-foolproof block 4063 adopts a special shape and size to ensure the stability and reliability of the locking and avoid the failure of the anti-foolproof function due to the lack of a firm locking.

[0134] The second spring 4062, serving as the elastic adjustment component of the foolproof mechanism 406, is cleverly fitted onto the locking pin 4061. Its elastic coefficient has been carefully selected and adjusted to provide elastic restoring force to the locking pin 4061 when the rotating pressing block 402 is not in the rotating pressing state. When the rotating pressing block 402 completes its pressing operation and moves away from one end of the locking pin 4061, the elastic restoring force of the second spring 4062 pushes the locking pin 4061 to move in the opposite direction, thereby releasing the locking state between the second end of the locking pin 4061 and the foolproof block 4063, allowing the foolproof block 4063 to return to a free-moving state, facilitating subsequent operations. The design of the second spring 4062 not only considers its elastic performance but also its service life and stability. It is made of high-strength, fatigue-resistant materials to ensure stable elastic performance during long-term use, guaranteeing the reliable operation of the foolproof mechanism 406.

[0135] In actual operation, the foolproof mechanism 406 operates as follows: During the test preparation phase, the rotating pressing block 402 is in an unpressed state. At this time, the second spring 4062 provides elastic restoring force to the locking pin 4061, keeping the second end of the locking pin 4061 separated from the foolproof block 4063. The foolproof block 4063 can move freely without affecting the normal operation of the pull rod 404. When testing is performed, the rotating pressing mechanism 4 is activated, causing the rotating pressing block 402 to rotate to the pressing position. During the pressing process, the lower end of the rotating pressing block 402 contacts one end of the locking pin 4061 and applies a horizontal force to it, pushing the locking pin 4061 to move horizontally, causing its second end to engage with the foolproof block 4063. At this time, the foolproof block 4063 is restricted from moving, and the pull rod 404 cannot be accidentally pulled up, ensuring the stability and safety of the testing process. After the test is completed, the rotating pressure block 402 rises away from one end of the locking pin 4061. The elastic restoring force of the second spring 4062 pushes the locking pin 4061 to move in the opposite direction, releasing the locking state between the second end of the locking pin 4061 and the anti-fool block 4063. The anti-fool block 4063 returns to a free-moving state, ready for the next test.

[0136] In summary, the foolproof mechanism 406 described in this embodiment, through the coordinated operation of the locking pin 4061, the second spring 4062, and the foolproof block 4063, effectively restricts the pull rod 404 when the rotating pressing block 402 is in the rotating pressing state, preventing it from being accidentally pulled up, and providing comprehensive protection for the efficient, accurate, and safe operation of the watch cable testing machine.

[0137] Please refer to Figure 10 In one embodiment of this invention, in order to achieve efficient and accurate electrical testing of the watch cable, the probe mechanism 3 is ingeniously designed. Its core components include a probe base 301 and a probe group 302, which work together to provide solid and reliable technical support for watch cable testing.

[0138] The probe holder 301, serving as the basic support component of the probe mechanism 3, is securely fixed on the machine base 1. Its installation position has been carefully considered, precisely located within the clearance opening of the support seat 2. This layout not only fully utilizes the space of the machine base 1 but also ensures that the probe holder 301 will not interfere with the support seat 2 during testing, guaranteeing smooth testing. More importantly, the probe holder 301 is installed at an angle, which is not arbitrarily determined but precisely designed based on the specific shape of the watch's ribbon cable. Watch ribbon cables typically have specific bends and orientations. To ensure optimal contact between the probe assembly 302 and each test point on the ribbon cable, the angle of the probe holder 301 has been repeatedly tested and optimized to ensure that the probe assembly 302 perfectly adapts to the shape of the ribbon cable, thereby providing a stable and reliable electrical connection during testing. This angled design fully reflects a deep understanding and precise grasp of the characteristics of watch ribbon cables, laying a solid foundation for improving testing accuracy.

[0139] The probe assembly 302, as a key component for the electrical connection between the probe mechanism 3 and the watch cable, is detachably mounted on the probe holder 301. This detachable design offers several advantages. Firstly, it facilitates the installation, adjustment, and replacement of the probe assembly 302. During production, different types of watch cables may require probe assemblies 302 of different specifications. The detachable design allows operators to quickly replace the appropriate probe assembly 302 according to actual needs, improving production efficiency and flexibility. Secondly, the detachable design also facilitates the maintenance and upkeep of the probe assembly 302. When probes become worn or damaged, operators can easily disassemble them for repair or replacement, reducing maintenance costs and difficulty. The probe assembly 302 consists of multiple precision probes made of highly conductive and wear-resistant materials, possessing excellent electrical and mechanical properties. During testing, the probe assembly 302 is electrically connected to the watch cable, enabling accurate testing of various performance indicators of the cable through precise electrical signal transmission.

[0140] In summary, the probe mechanism 3 in this embodiment achieves a precise electrical connection with the watch cable through the coordinated operation of the probe base 301 and the probe group 302.

[0141] Please refer to this again. Figure 10 and in conjunction with references Figure 11-14In one embodiment of this invention, to further improve the stability, accuracy, and reliability of the probe mechanism 3 during watch wiring testing, the probe mechanism 3 not only includes the two core components, probe base 301 and probe group 302, but also innovatively adds a buffer module 303 and a planar bearing module 304. These two new modules cooperate with the probe base 301 and probe group 302 to jointly construct a more complete and efficient probe testing system.

[0142] The planar bearing module 304, a key component ensuring the translational freedom of the probe holder 301, is cleverly positioned at the bottom of the probe holder 301. During watch cable testing, slight deviations in the position and orientation of the cable are possible, requiring the probe holder 301 to possess a certain degree of translational freedom so that the probe assembly 302 can accurately and stably contact each test point on the cable. The planar bearing module 304 is designed to meet this requirement. Its specific structure includes a second mounting block 3041, balls 3042, and a ball cage 3043. The second mounting block 3041, serving as the main support structure of the planar bearing module 304, is securely positioned at the bottom of the probe holder 301, providing a solid mounting foundation for the entire planar bearing module 304. The ball cage 3043 is precisely positioned within the second mounting block 3041, and its internal structure is carefully designed to provide a stable running track for the balls 3042. The ball bearings 3042 are evenly arranged within the ball bearing holder 3043, enabling the probe holder 301 to move freely in the plane through rolling friction. This design not only reduces the resistance during the translation process of the probe holder 301, improving the flexibility and accuracy of translation, but also effectively reduces wear caused by friction, extending the service life of the planar bearing module 304.

[0143] The buffer module 303, serving as a crucial component providing cushioning when the probe assembly 302 contacts the watch's ribbon cable, is located at the bottom of the planar bearing module 304. At the moment of contact between the probe assembly 302 and the watch's ribbon cable, the position and orientation of the ribbon cable may be uncertain, potentially generating a significant impact force. If this impact force is not effectively buffered, it could damage the probe assembly 302 or affect the accuracy of the test results. The buffer module 303 is designed to address this issue. Its specific structure includes a first mounting block 3031 and a third spring 3032. The first mounting block 3031, serving as the main support structure of the buffer module 303, is securely mounted at the bottom of the planar bearing module 304, providing a reliable mounting base for the entire buffer module 303. The third spring 3032 is housed within the first mounting block 3031, with one end firmly abutting against the first mounting block 3031 and the other end firmly abutting against the machine base 1. When the probe group 302 comes into contact with the watch cable, the resulting impact force is transmitted to the buffer module 303 through the plane bearing module 304. The third spring 3032 undergoes elastic deformation under the impact force, thereby absorbing and buffering most of the impact force, protecting the probe group 302 and the watch cable from damage, and also ensuring the stability and accuracy of the testing process.

[0144] In summary, the probe mechanism 3 described in this embodiment achieves a precise, stable, and reliable electrical connection with the watch cable through the coordinated operation of the probe base 301, probe group 302, buffer module 303, and planar bearing module 304.

[0145] This utility model provides a watch cable testing machine. First, by replacing manual operation with automated equipment, it greatly improves testing efficiency, enabling the testing of a large number of watch cables in a short time, meeting the needs of large-scale production. Second, it avoids interference from human factors in the test results, ensuring the accuracy and stability of the test, and can accurately detect potential problems in the cable, thereby effectively improving the overall quality of the watch. Furthermore, the rotating pressing mechanism design stably fixes the watch cable during testing, preventing displacement or damage, further ensuring the integrity and reliability of the cable, providing strong support for the normal operation of the watch, and has significant practical significance and broad application prospects.
