[0073] Please refer to Figure 1-4 This utility model provides an automatic watch testing device. The device has a compact structure and complete functions, specifically composed of core components such as a base 1, a carrier 2, a testing mechanism 3, and a rotating mechanism 4.
[0074] The testing mechanism 3 and the rotating mechanism 4, as core functional units, are securely mounted on the base 1 to ensure the stability and reliability of the overall device.
[0075] The carrier 2 is movably mounted on the testing mechanism 3, and its interior is meticulously designed with a support groove that precisely matches the dimensions of the watch. Notably, the bottom of this support groove features a hollow design, facilitating subsequent testing operations.
[0076] The rotating mechanism 4 serves as the power source for the crown's rotation. Its ingenious design and powerful performance enable it to precisely drive the watch crown to rotate, providing the necessary physical conditions for testing the crown's functionality.
[0077] The testing mechanism 3 is responsible for establishing an electrical connection with the watch head placed in the support groove. Through its coordinated operation with the rotating mechanism 4, it achieves a comprehensive and accurate test of the crown's function. Specifically, driven by the rotating mechanism 4, the crown rotates, while the testing mechanism 3 monitors and records the crown's functional parameters in real time, thereby completing a comprehensive evaluation of the crown's function.
[0078] It is worth noting that the automatic watch testing equipment provided in this embodiment of the invention, through the innovative design of the rotating mechanism 4 to drive the crown to rotate, and combined with the precise cooperation between the testing mechanism 3 and the carrier 2, realizes the automated operation of crown function testing. This innovative design not only completely eliminates the tediousness and inefficiency of traditional manual crown turning, but also achieves a qualitative leap in testing efficiency. It can quickly and accurately complete the crown function testing tasks of a large number of smartwatches, fully meeting the actual needs of large-scale production, and thus effectively improving the overall production efficiency of smartwatches.
[0079] Meanwhile, because the testing process is completely free from the constraints of manual operation, it fundamentally eliminates the adverse effects on the accuracy and consistency of test results caused by factors such as individual differences in operators and their fatigue levels. This transformation not only ensures the stability and reliability of test results but also lays a solid foundation for improving product quality and enhancing product competitiveness in the market.
[0080] Please refer to Figure 5-7 In one embodiment of this invention, the testing mechanism 3 consists of two core parts: a circuit board 301 and a probe module 302. The two work together to achieve accurate testing of the crown function of the smartwatch.
[0081] Specifically, the circuit board 301, as the basic support and signal transmission unit of the test mechanism 3, is securely mounted on the base 1, providing a stable electrical environment and signal transmission path for the entire test process.
[0082] The probe module 302, a key component for establishing the electrical connection between the watch head and the testing mechanism 3, is cleverly positioned on the circuit board 301, precisely below the support groove. The probe module 302 and the circuit board 301 are connected via a precise electrical connection, ensuring the accuracy and stability of signal transmission. During actual testing, the probe module 302 cleverly passes through the hollowed-out bottom of the support groove, precisely engaging with the watch head placed within it, thus establishing a stable electrical connection channel.
[0083] Through this design, the testing mechanism 3, in cooperation with the rotating mechanism 4, can achieve comprehensive and efficient testing of the crown's function. Specifically, when the rotating mechanism 4 drives the crown to rotate, the probe module 302 can collect the crown's functional parameters in real time and accurately, and transmit these parameters to the subsequent analysis and processing unit through the circuit board 301, thereby completing a comprehensive evaluation of the crown's function.
[0084] In summary, the testing mechanism 3 in this embodiment, through the precise cooperation between the circuit board 301 and the probe module 302, realizes the automation and precision of crown function testing, which not only improves testing efficiency and accuracy, but also provides a strong guarantee for the large-scale production and quality control of smartwatches.
[0085] Please refer to Figure 8-9In one embodiment of this invention, the probe module 302, as a key component of the testing mechanism 3, has an ingenious structure and complete functions. It mainly consists of four core components: a probe holder 3021, a first probe 3022, a conductive sheet 3023, and a conductive cloth 3024. The structural layout and functional implementation of each component will be described in detail below:
[0086] The conductive sheet 3023, as the core conductive element in the probe module 302, is securely mounted on the probe holder 3021, providing a solid foundation for subsequent electrical connections.
[0087] The first probe 3022 serves as a bridge for signal transmission, featuring a unique design and superior performance. Specifically, the first probe 3022 is precisely inserted into the probe holder 3021, with one end achieving a stable electrical connection to the circuit board 301, ensuring the stability and reliability of signal transmission; while the other end is in close contact with the conductive sheet 3023, forming a complete electrical connection loop.
[0088] The conductive cloth 3024, serving as a flexible medium for electrical connection between the probe module 302 and the meter head, is cleverly laid on top of the conductive sheet 3023. This conductive cloth 3024 not only possesses excellent conductivity but also ensures a stable and reliable electrical connection with the conductive sheet 3023 and the meter head. In practical applications, when the meter head is placed in the support groove, the conductive cloth 3024 can closely adhere to the corresponding position of the meter head, thereby achieving precise electrical connection with the meter head.
[0089] Through the precise coordination and collaborative work of the aforementioned components, the probe module 302 plays a crucial role in the testing mechanism 3. Specifically, during the testing process, the first probe 3022 is responsible for transmitting the test signal on the circuit board 301 to the conductive sheet 3023; and the conductive sheet 3023 further transmits the test signal to the crown through the conductive cloth 3024, thereby achieving a comprehensive and accurate test of the crown function.
[0090] Understandably, the conductive cloth 3024 ensures a stable contact resistance between the conductive sheet 3023 and the meter head. Due to its good conductivity and flexibility, the conductive cloth 3024 can adapt to irregular surfaces, ensuring good contact between the conductive sheet 3023 and the back cover, and reducing fluctuations in contact resistance.
[0091] In addition, the conductive cloth 3024 can also play a certain role in buffering and protection, preventing scratches or damage that may be caused when the conductive sheet 3023 comes into direct contact with the meter head.
[0092] In addition, the conductive cloth 3024 itself has a certain electromagnetic shielding performance, which can reduce the impact of external electromagnetic interference on the crown function test.
[0093] In summary, the probe module 302 in this embodiment achieves high efficiency, accuracy and stability in crown function testing through the precise cooperation and coordinated operation of four core components: probe holder 3021, first probe 3022, conductive sheet 3023 and conductive cloth 3024.
[0094] Please refer to this again. Figure 5-7 In one specific embodiment provided in this example, a key component, alignment block 303, is specially added to further optimize the structural layout and functional implementation of the testing mechanism 3. This alignment block 303 plays a crucial role in the testing mechanism 3; its ingenious structural design and complete functions provide strong assurance for the accuracy and stability of the testing process.
[0095] Specifically, the alignment block 303 is cleverly positioned above the circuit board 301, forming a protective covering layer. This effectively prevents external impurities from contaminating or damaging the circuit board 301 and also enhances the overall structural strength of the testing mechanism 3 to some extent. Simultaneously, to ensure the probe module 302 functions properly, the alignment block 303 has a specially designed clearance opening at the position corresponding to the probe module 302, allowing the probe module 302 to pass smoothly through the alignment block 303 and achieve precise docking with the meter head.
[0096] Furthermore, to ensure the alignment accuracy and stability between the carrier 2 and the testing mechanism 3, the alignment block 303 is also specially provided with alignment guide pins 304. These alignment guide pins 304 are distributed on the alignment block 303 in a precise layout, providing a clear guiding function for the installation and positioning of the carrier 2.
[0097] Accordingly, the carrier 2 has also undergone targeted design improvements, with the addition of an alignment guide hole that mates with the alignment guide pin 304. In practical applications, when the carrier 2 is placed on the testing mechanism 3, the alignment guide pin 304 can be precisely inserted into the alignment guide hole, thereby achieving precise alignment and stable connection between the carrier 2 and the testing mechanism 3.
[0098] Through the collaborative design of the alignment block 303 and the carrier 2, the testing mechanism 3 achieves higher alignment accuracy and stability during the testing process. This not only helps improve the accuracy and reliability of the test results, but also ensures the smooth progress of the testing process, providing stronger technical support for the large-scale production and quality control of smartwatches.
[0099] In summary, the testing mechanism 3 in this embodiment achieves precision and stability in the testing process by adding the key component of the alignment block 303 and by combining it with the targeted design improvements of the carrier 2.
[0100] Please refer to this again. Figure 5-7 In one embodiment of this invention, to further enhance the stability and convenience of the connection between the testing mechanism 3 and the carrier 2, an innovative design is added to the alignment block 303, namely a first magnetic chuck 305. This first magnetic chuck 305 is cleverly integrated into a specific position on the alignment block 303, and through its strong magnetic attraction, provides powerful support for the rapid and accurate docking between the carrier 2 and the alignment block 303.
[0101] Accordingly, a second magnetic accelerator is specially provided on the carrier 2 to perfectly match the first magnetic accelerator 305. The second magnetic accelerator is magnetically matched with the first magnetic accelerator 305 and can generate a strong attraction force, thereby ensuring that the carrier 2 can quickly and stably be attracted and fixed to the alignment block 303 when placed on the testing mechanism 3.
[0102] In practical applications, when operators need to install the carrier 2 onto the testing mechanism 3, they only need to roughly align the carrier 2 with the position of the alignment block 303. Due to the magnetic attraction between the first magnetic 305 and the second magnetic 305, the carrier 2 will be automatically attracted to the correct position and achieve a stable engagement and fixation. This design not only greatly simplifies the installation process of the carrier 2 and improves work efficiency, but also ensures the tightness and stability of the connection between the carrier 2 and the testing mechanism 3, providing a reliable guarantee for subsequent testing work.
[0103] Furthermore, this magnetic fixing method also offers the advantage of easy disassembly. After the test is completed, the operator only needs to apply appropriate external force to easily overcome the magnetic attraction and remove the carrier 2 from the test mechanism 3. This design makes the replacement and maintenance of the carrier 2 more convenient and efficient, further improving the overall efficiency and flexibility of the testing work.
[0104] In summary, the testing mechanism 3 in this embodiment achieves a fast and stable magnetic connection between the carrier 2 and the testing mechanism 3 by adding a first magnetic 305 to the alignment block 303 and cooperating with the design of a second magnetic 305 on the carrier 2.
[0105] Please refer to this again. Figure 5-7 In one specific embodiment provided in this example, a key component, transmission interface 306, is specially added to further enhance the data transmission capability and intelligence level of the testing mechanism 3. This transmission interface 306, serving as a bridge for data interaction between the testing mechanism 3 and external devices, is cleverly integrated onto the circuit board 301 and achieves a stable electrical connection with it.
[0106] Specifically, the transmission interface 306 is designed as a standardized data transmission port, integrating advanced signal conversion and transmission technologies. This ensures that after the testing organization 3 collects the watch's functional data, it can quickly and accurately transmit this data to external devices. These external devices can be computers, data analyzers, cloud servers, etc., which can receive and process the data from the testing organization 3, providing strong support for subsequent analysis, evaluation, and decision-making.
[0107] In practical applications, after the testing unit 3 completes comprehensive testing of the watch's functions, the collected data is first processed and integrated via circuit board 301. Subsequently, this data is transmitted to transmission interface 306, where it is converted into a format and signal suitable for external devices to receive. Finally, this data is accurately and stably transmitted to external devices via transmission interface 306, providing a reliable basis for subsequent in-depth analysis and applications.
[0108] By adding the innovative design of transmission interface 306, the testing mechanism 3 not only achieves efficient and stable data transmission with external devices, but also enhances its intelligence level and application flexibility. This design enables the testing mechanism 3 to better adapt to the needs of modern smartwatch production and quality control, providing strong support for the large-scale production and quality improvement of smartwatches.
[0109] In summary, the testing mechanism 3 in this embodiment achieves efficient data interaction and intelligent management with external devices by adding the key component of the transmission interface 306. This innovative design not only improves the efficiency and accuracy of testing but also provides a more comprehensive and efficient solution for the research, development, production, and quality control of smartwatches.
[0110] Please refer to Figure 10-13 In one specific embodiment provided in this example, the rotating mechanism 4 serves as the core device for realizing the automated rotation test of the crown. Its structure is ingeniously designed and fully functional, mainly composed of key components such as a drive motor 401, a driving gear 402, a driven gear 403, a rotating rod 404, and a sleeve 405. The following will provide a detailed explanation of the structural layout, functional implementation, and collaborative working principle of each component:
[0111] The sleeve 405, as a key component in the rotating mechanism 4 that directly contacts and drives the crown's rotation, is precisely positioned at one end of the rotating rod 404. The design of the sleeve 405 fully considers the shape, size, and material properties of the crown, ensuring a secure and undamaged fit, providing reliable support for subsequent rotation tests.
[0112] The driving gear 402, serving as a bridge for power transmission between the drive motor 401 and the rotating rod 404, is precisely fitted onto the output shaft of the drive motor 401. The tooth profile, module, and other parameters of the driving gear 402 have been carefully designed and calculated to ensure meshing accuracy and transmission efficiency with the subsequent driven gear 403.
[0113] The driven gear 403, serving as the power receiving end of the rotating rod 404, is also precisely fitted onto the rotating rod 404. The driven gear 403 and the driving gear 402 form a perfect meshing relationship, enabling the power output by the drive motor 401 to be accurately and efficiently transmitted to the rotating rod 404.
[0114] During power transmission, the driving gear 402 and the driven gear 403 transmit power through precise meshing of their teeth. When the drive motor 401 starts, its output shaft drives the driving gear 402 to rotate, which in turn drives the driven gear 403 to rotate through meshing. Since the driven gear 403 is tightly connected to the rotating rod 404, the rotating rod 404 also rotates accordingly. Finally, the rotational motion of the rotating rod 404 is transmitted to the sleeve 405, causing the sleeve 405 to drive the crown to rotate precisely.
[0115] Through the precise coordination and collaborative operation of the aforementioned components, the rotating mechanism 4 achieves efficient and stable rotation of the crown during the testing process. This not only helps improve the accuracy and reliability of the test results but also ensures the automation and intelligence level of the testing process, providing strong technical support for the large-scale production and quality control of smartwatches.
[0116] In summary, the rotating mechanism 4 in this embodiment achieves automation and precision in crown rotation testing through the precise coordination and collaborative work of key components such as the drive motor 401, the driving gear 402, the driven gear 403, the rotating rod 404, and the sleeve 405.
[0117] Please refer to this again. Figure 10-13 In one specific embodiment provided in this example, the rotating mechanism 4, based on its original precision design, further incorporates an innovative component—an elastic rubber ring 406—to optimize its functionality and adaptability. The structural characteristics, functional implementation, and synergistic effect of the elastic rubber ring 406 in the rotating mechanism 4 will be described in detail below:
[0118] The elastic rubber ring 406, as a key component in the rotating mechanism 4 to achieve a flexible connection between the sleeve 405 and the rotating rod 404, is cleverly positioned between the sleeve 405 and the rotating rod 404. This elastic rubber ring 406 is made of highly elastic and wear-resistant rubber material, possessing excellent compression resilience and anti-aging properties, and can maintain stable physical and mechanical properties during long-term use.
[0119] Specifically, the sleeve 405 is securely and flexibly connected to the rotating rod 404 via the elastic rubber ring 406. The outer diameter of the elastic rubber ring 406 matches the inner diameter of the sleeve 405, while the inner diameter matches the outer diameter of the rotating rod 404, achieving a tight connection through an interference fit. Simultaneously, the elastic properties of the elastic rubber ring 406 allow the sleeve 405 to deform to a certain extent when subjected to external forces, thereby absorbing impacts and vibrations and protecting the crown from damage.
[0120] More importantly, the design of the elastic rubber ring 406 gives the sleeve 405 the characteristic of being detachable and replaceable. Since the crown sizes of different models and brands of smartwatches vary, a flexible rotating mechanism is needed. By adding the elastic rubber ring 406, the connection between the sleeve 405 and the rotating rod 404 is changed from a rigid connection to a flexible connection, allowing the sleeve 405 to be easily disassembled and replaced with sleeves of different sizes to fit various crown sizes.
[0121] In practical applications, when testing crowns of different sizes, operators only need to remove the original sleeve 405 from the rotating rod 404 and replace it with a sleeve that matches the size of the target crown. This process does not require large-scale disassembly and adjustment of the rotating mechanism 4, greatly improving the flexibility and efficiency of the testing work.
[0122] Through the addition and ingenious design of the aforementioned elastic rubber ring 406, the rotating mechanism 4 not only maintains its original high precision and high reliability characteristics, but also further enhances its adaptability and flexibility. This rotating mechanism 4 can quickly change the sleeve according to different testing requirements, achieving precise rotation testing of the crown, providing a more efficient and reliable solution for the large-scale production and quality control of smartwatches.
[0123] In summary, the rotating mechanism 4 in this embodiment achieves a flexible connection and detachable replacement function between the sleeve 405 and the rotating rod 404 by adding the innovative component of the elastic rubber ring 406. This design not only optimizes the performance of the rotating mechanism 4, but also improves its application flexibility and testing efficiency.
[0124] Please refer to this again. Figure 10-13In one specific embodiment provided in this example, the rotating mechanism 4 is further optimized and expanded based on the original structure, with the addition of two core components: a test probe 407 and a second probe 408, to enhance its functional integration and testing accuracy. The following will provide a detailed and in-depth explanation of the structural layout, functional implementation, and synergistic mechanism of these two newly added components within the rotating mechanism 4.
[0125] The test probe 407, a key component in the rotating mechanism 4 for achieving electrical connection and signal acquisition of the crown, is precisely assembled at one end of the rotating rod 404, and its position is precisely set within the internal space of the sleeve 405. The design of the test probe 407 fully considers the shape, size, and material characteristics of the crown's contact surface, employing high-precision machining processes and surface treatment technologies to ensure a stable and reliable electrical contact with the crown. Simultaneously, the internal circuit design of the test probe 407 has been carefully optimized to achieve efficient and low-noise signal acquisition and transmission.
[0126] Specifically, when the rotating mechanism 4 drives the sleeve 405 to cover the crown and rotate it, the test probe 407 makes close contact with the surface of the crown, forming an electrical connection. During this process, the test probe 407 can collect various electrical signals generated by the crown during rotation in real time, such as changes in parameters like resistance, capacitance, and voltage, and transmit these signals to the test system for analysis and processing through subsequent circuits.
[0127] The second probe 408 serves as a crucial bridge in the rotating mechanism 4, enabling the electrical connection between the test probe 407 and the circuit board 301. One end of the probe is connected to the test probe 407 via precision wires inside the rotating rod 404, achieving a stable and efficient electrical connection. The other end is reliably connected to the circuit board 301 via connector 409. The design of the second probe 408 fully considers the stability and anti-interference capability of signal transmission, employing high-quality conductive materials and advanced connection technology to ensure that the signal is not distorted or attenuated during transmission.
[0128] In practical applications, after the test probe 407 acquires the electrical signal from the crown, this signal is first transmitted through one end of the second probe 408 to the wire inside the rotating rod 404, then through the wire to the other end of the second probe 408, and finally through the connector 409 to the circuit board 301. After receiving the signal, the circuit board 301 amplifies, filters, digitizes, and transmits the processed data to the test system for analysis and display.
[0129] Through the addition and ingenious design of the test probe 407 and the second probe 408, the rotating mechanism 4 not only realizes the rotation drive function of the crown, but also integrates the crown's electrical connection and signal acquisition functions. This design greatly improves the functional integration and testing accuracy of the rotating mechanism 4, enabling it to simultaneously meet the dual requirements of crown rotation testing and electrical performance testing.
[0130] In summary, the rotating mechanism 4 in this embodiment achieves integrated testing of crown rotation and electrical performance by adding two core components: the test probe 407 and the second probe 408. This design not only optimizes the performance of the rotating mechanism 4 but also improves its application flexibility and testing efficiency.
[0131] Please refer to this again. Figure 10-13 and in conjunction with references Figure 14 In one specific embodiment provided in this example, the rotating mechanism 4, based on its original precision design, further incorporates three innovative components: a conductive rod 410, a spring 411, and a pressure adjusting screw 412, to enhance its functional integration, testing accuracy, and operational flexibility. The following will provide a detailed and in-depth analysis of the structural layout, functional implementation, and synergistic mechanism of these three newly added components within the rotating mechanism 4.
[0132] The rotating rod 404 has a carefully designed sliding cavity inside, which serves as the sliding track for the conductive rod 410. The size and shape of this cavity are precisely calculated and machined to ensure stable and smooth sliding of the conductive rod 410 within it. The conductive rod 410, a key component in the rotating mechanism 4 for transmitting electrical signals and regulating pressure, is slidably positioned within the sliding cavity. The conductive rod 410 is made of a highly conductive and high-strength material, and its surface undergoes special treatment to reduce the coefficient of friction and improve sliding performance.
[0133] Specifically, the test probe 407, as a component in the rotating mechanism 4 that directly contacts the crown and collects electrical signals, is precisely assembled to one end of the conductive rod 410. When the conductive rod 410 slides within the sliding cavity, the test probe 407 moves accordingly to achieve contact and separation with the crown.
[0134] The pressure adjusting screw 412, a key component in the rotating mechanism 4 for adjusting the pressure of the test probe 407, has one end fixed to the sliding cavity via a precision threaded connection, while the other end extends to the outside of the rotating rod 404 for easy adjustment by the operator. The pressure adjusting screw 412 abuts against the other end of the conductive rod 410 via a spring 411. The spring 411, serving as a medium for pressure transmission and buffering, has its elastic coefficient and preload carefully selected and adjusted to ensure stable and uniform pressure transmission during pressure adjustment.
[0135] In practical applications, when it is necessary to adjust the pressure when the test probe 407 contacts the crown, the operator only needs to rotate the pressure adjusting screw 412 to change its depth within the sliding cavity. As the pressure adjusting screw 412 rotates, the compression of the spring 411 changes accordingly, thereby altering the pressure transmitted to the conductive rod 410. Under pressure, the conductive rod 410 adjusts its position within the sliding cavity, thus moving the test probe 407 and achieving precise adjustment of the contact pressure with the crown.
[0136] Through the addition and ingenious design of the conductive rod 410, spring 411, and pressure adjusting screw 412, the rotating mechanism 4 not only realizes the rotation drive function of the crown but also integrates electrical signal transmission and pressure adjustment functions. This design greatly improves the functional integration and testing accuracy of the rotating mechanism 4, enabling it to simultaneously meet the diverse needs of crown rotation testing, electrical performance testing, and contact pressure adjustment.
[0137] Furthermore, the rotating mechanism 4 offers high operational flexibility and maintainability. Operators can adjust the contact pressure between the test probe 407 and the crown at any time according to actual testing needs to achieve optimal testing results. Simultaneously, when components such as the conductive rod 410, spring 411, or pressure adjusting screw 412 show wear or damage, operators can easily replace or repair them, thereby extending the service life of the rotating mechanism 4 and reducing maintenance costs.
[0138] In summary, the rotating mechanism 4 in this embodiment achieves integrated crown rotation testing, electrical performance testing, and contact pressure adjustment by adding three innovative components: a conductive rod 410, a spring 411, and a pressure adjusting screw 412.
[0139] Please refer to this again. Figure 6In one specific embodiment provided in this example, to further enhance the automation level and operational flexibility of the device, a key component, a sliding module 5, is specially added. The introduction of this sliding module 5 enables the rotating mechanism 4 to achieve sliding displacement relative to the base 1, thereby precisely controlling the relative position between the sleeve 405 and the crown, achieving accurate loading and unloading of the sleeve 405 onto and from the crown. The following will provide a detailed and in-depth analysis of the structural design, functional implementation, and synergistic mechanism of the sliding module 5 within the device.
[0140] The sliding module 5 serves as the connecting bridge between the rotating mechanism 4 and the base 1, and its design fully considers motion stability, positioning accuracy, and ease of operation. The sliding module 5 mainly comprises two core components: a slide rail 501 and a slider 502. The slide rail 501, as the base for sliding guidance, is securely fixed to the base 1, and its surface is precision-machined to ensure smooth and unobstructed sliding of the slider 502. The layout direction of the slide rail 501 is consistent with the direction in which the rotating mechanism 4 needs to move, thereby achieving precise displacement of the rotating mechanism 4 in the horizontal or vertical direction.
[0141] As a key component in the sliding module 5 that enables the rotation mechanism 4 to slide, slider 502 is securely connected to the rotation mechanism 4 via bolts, welding, or other fixing methods. The bottom of slider 502 has a sliding groove that matches the slide rail 501. The size and shape of this sliding groove are precisely calculated and machined to ensure that slider 502 fits tightly against the slide rail 501 and achieves stable sliding along its direction. Furthermore, the material and surface treatment of slider 502 are carefully selected and optimized to reduce the coefficient of friction and improve sliding efficiency and wear resistance.
[0142] In practical applications, when it is necessary to attach or detach the crown, the operator or automated control system can use a drive mechanism (such as a motor, cylinder, etc., not shown in the figure) to drive the slider 502 to slide along the slide rail 501. As the slider 502 moves, the rotating mechanism 4 moves accordingly, thereby causing the sleeve 405 to move closer to or away from the crown. When the sleeve 405 moves above the crown, the rotating mechanism 4 can drive the sleeve 405 to descend and detach the crown; when it is necessary to detach the crown, the rotating mechanism 4 can drive the sleeve 405 to rise and move away from the crown.
[0143] Through the addition and ingenious design of the sliding module 5, the device not only realizes the sliding displacement function of the rotating mechanism 4 on the base 1, but also greatly improves the operational flexibility and automation of the device. This design enables the device to quickly and accurately adjust the relative position between the sleeve 405 and the crown according to actual needs, thereby improving the efficiency and accuracy of crown testing.
[0144] Furthermore, the sliding module 5 possesses high maintainability and scalability. When the slide rail 501 or slider 502 wears or is damaged, operators can easily replace or repair it, thereby extending the service life of the device and reducing maintenance costs. Simultaneously, with technological advancements and evolving needs, the sliding module 5 can also achieve higher levels of automated control and intelligent management by adding drive mechanisms, sensors, and other components.
[0145] In summary, the device in this embodiment achieves the sliding displacement function of the rotating mechanism 4 on the base 1 by adding the key component of the sliding module 5, thereby improving the operational flexibility and automation of the device.

These terms are used merely for the convenience of describing and explaining the essence of this utility model; interpreting them as any additional limitation would contradict the spirit of this utility model.
[0147] This utility model provides an automatic watch testing device that achieves rapid and accurate docking between the testing mechanism and the carrier by incorporating a first magnetic attractor on the testing mechanism and a second magnetic attractor on the carrier that engages with it. This magnetic docking method eliminates the need for multiple manual adjustments, significantly improving docking efficiency and production efficiency. Simultaneously, the magnetic attraction force ensures the stability and accuracy of the docking, effectively avoiding docking deviations caused by human factors, thereby improving the reliability of test results. Furthermore, this magnetic docking mechanism has a simple structure, low cost, and is easy to maintain and replace, reducing the operating cost and maintenance difficulty of the equipment, making it highly practical and economical.
