To control the rate of a mechanical watch with high precision. [Solution] In mechanical watches, A sensor detects the vibrations of the balance, and the cumulative frequency is compared with the clock cumulative frequency of the reference oscillator to calculate the rate error. Based on this error, a control method is determined, and mechanical energy is injected into the balance by an actuator to control the rate. For even more precise control, abnormal vibrations are recorded to evaluate the reliability of the measurements and adjust the control strategy accordingly. In addition, if sensor detection is difficult, it is supplemented by phantom counts estimated from the reference oscillator. If necessary, it is also possible to identify external factors using auxiliary sensors. When high reliability is required, sensors with different detection principles can be duplicated and cross-verified. This configuration enables implementation at various levels, from basic rate control to advanced adaptive control.

This invention provides an intelligent sensor-driven clock timing accuracy calibration system, relating to the field of data processing technology. It acquires raw temperature sequence data with time stamps and location information by deploying temperature sensing units at different heating locations on the clock timing device; identifies the dominant heating region based on the temperature change rate and duration and generates corresponding weights; analyzes the heat transfer time difference in conjunction with the crystal oscillator installation position to construct a local thermal effect response sequence with time lag; derives the crystal oscillator frequency evolution process based on this response sequence and generates a predicted frequency offset; pre-adjusts the timing pulse before errors occur to form a timing reference signal; and simultaneously corrects the dominant heat source weights and heat transfer delay relationship by comparing with an external standard time source, achieving dynamic calibration of timing accuracy.
