[0023] Please see Figure 1 One embodiment of this utility model is a watch case square shell button upper shell assembly auxiliary device, which includes a base 1 and a support mechanism 2, a miniature linear guide rail 3 and an operating head 4 arranged sequentially from left to right on the base 1.

[0024] Please see Figure 2 The base 1 includes a support column 11 and a working platform 12 fixed on the support column 11. A fixing plate 13 and a receiving block 14 located on the fixing plate 13 are provided on the working platform 12. The fixing plate 13 is fixed to the upper end face of the working platform 12, and the receiving block 14 is fixed to the upper end face of the fixing plate 13. The support mechanism 2 includes a support arm 21, which is vertically arranged and fixed on the working platform 12. A sliding groove 22 is formed on the support arm 21. The miniature linear guide rail 3 includes a slide rail 31. The operating head 4 includes a fixing plate 41 and a watch case fixing seat 42 fixed to the fixing plate 41.

[0025] Please see Figures 3 to 4The upper surface of the receiving block 14 has a first arc surface 141 and a second arc surface 142 formed on both sides. The first arc surface 141 and the second arc surface 142 are both located below the case fixing seat 42. The first arc surface 141 and the second arc surface 142 are used to fit against the outer wall of the case, thereby supporting the case. Since the case fits against the first arc surface 141 and the second arc surface 142, the case structure can be made stable and does not wobble. The miniature linear guide 3 also includes a slider 32 set on the slide rail 31. The slide rail 31 is installed in the slide groove 22 and is vertically set. Two positioning posts 33 are fixed on the slider 32 and are both horizontally set. Other structures included in the miniature linear guide 3 are existing technologies and will not be described in detail here. The fixing plate 41 and the case fixing seat 42 are both set on the positioning posts 33.

[0026] Please see Figure 5 Both the fixing plate 41 and the watch case fixing base 42 have fixing holes 43. There are two fixing holes 43, and two positioning pins 33 pass through the two fixing holes 43 respectively. Therefore, the watch case fixing base 42 and the watch case on it can be fixed on the slider 32 and rise and fall with the slider 32. This allows the watch case to be adjusted to a suitable height position for pressing operation, so that the operating head 4 can operate the buttons on the watch case under the drive of the miniature linear guide rail 3.

[0027] Working principle: Please refer to the following again. Figures 1 to 5 In this invention, a suitable operating head 4 is selected according to the specifications of the watch case to be operated, and the two fixing holes 43 are inserted into the two positioning posts 33 to fix the operating head 4 on the miniature linear guide rail 3. The watch case square button and related parts to be operated are placed on the work platform 12 to ensure accurate positioning. By controlling the slider 32 to slide on the slide rail 31, the miniature linear guide rail 3 slides up and down along the support arm 21 to adjust the operating head 4 and the watch case on it to a suitable height position for pressing operation. The operating head 4 operates the watch case square button under the drive of the miniature linear guide rail 3. During the operation, the operator can fine-tune the position or pressure parameters of the operating head 4 according to the actual situation. After the operation is completed, the miniature linear guide rail 3 is adjusted to the initial position, the watch case on the operating head 4 is removed, and the above operation is repeated to continuously assemble the watch case button upper shell.

[0028] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention.
