What is the principle of a mechanical watch? Do mechanical watches not use batteries?

Mechanical watches do not need batteries, they are quartz models.

The movement of a mechanical watch is powered by a mainspring, also known as a mainspring, which needs to be wound in order to function. The mainspring can be wound manually using the crown or, in the case of automatic watches, the dynamic energy provided by the wearer's movements.

Mechanical watches can be divided into two types: manual mechanical watches and automatic watches

1. Manual mechanical watch: using manual winding movement, by turning the watch head for the main spring of the movement to full winding, when the spring is completely exhausted, push the gear to run, push the pointer to go.

2. Automatic watch: The automatic movement relies on the weight of the oscillating weight in the movement, but the swing of the arm wearing the watch will drive the rotor to rotate, and at the same time drive the main spring in the watch to wind the watch and push the time.

However, we recommend that once an automatic watch has stopped moving around (i.e. if it has not been worn for a few days), it should be fully wound before putting it back on. After that, the energy provided by your own movement will maintain the tension of the mainspring to drive the watch. When fully wound, we recommend turning the crown 35 times in a clockwise direction.

1.Mechanical watches can generally be divided into two types: hand-wound and automatic.

The power of these two machines** is powered by the mainspring in the movement, which drives the gears and then pushes the watch hands, but the power ** is different. The thickness of the movement is thinner than that of the general automatic winding of the mechanical watch, and the weight of the whole watch is lighter. The self-winding watch uses the power generated by the rotor at the bottom of the movement to swing left and right to drive the mainspring to generate energy, but the thickness of the relative watch book will be thicker than that of the average hand-wound watch.

The advantages of mechanical watches are: they can be used for a long time after regular maintenance and washing oil; However, the disadvantage is that the error is larger than that of quartz watches, and errors are caused by the quality of production and the fact that the movement inside the watch is susceptible to the influence of gravity.

Usually the error of a mechanical watch is calculated by how many seconds per day, while the error of a quartz watch is calculated by how many seconds per month.

2.Mechanical watches do not use batteries. Quartz watches need to be battery-powered, and the so-called quartz watch is a watch that replaces the balance wheel in a mechanical watch with a quartz oscillator and uses its correct high-speed oscillation to keep time.

Quartz watches can be divided into pointer type and digital type, pointer quartz watch is the quartz vibrator's correct high-speed swing power cycle, and then drive a series of gears through the motor, and then drive the hour, minute, and second hands for accurate time display. The digital quartz watch is to display the time digitally on the liquid crystal display directly through the quartz pulsation through the electronic circuit, that is to say, the digital quartz watch is an all-electronic quartz watch with no mechanical transmission at all.

From the above, it can already be concluded that:

In terms of good quality, that is, in terms of use value, it should be a mechanical watch, especially a high-end watch; If you want to say that the time is accurate, of course, it is a quartz watch.

Automatic watches do not use batteries, and because automatic watches are self-winding by the swing of the arm, they must be worn for more than eight hours a day to ensure accurate timekeeping.

The internal movement components of a fully automatic mechanical watch are all mechanical parts, and it is a balance spring watch powered by a clockwork. A mechanical watch is made up of a movement and exterior parts. The movement consists of a drive train, a prime mover system, a pin system, an escapement system, and an analog system, and the parts of the movement are joined together by bridges and screws.

Fully automatic watches do not use batteries.

Automatic watches are self-winding by the swing of the arm, so they must be worn for more than eight hours a day to ensure accurate timekeeping. Some come with a manual wind, some don't, but it's still best to have a manual wind. Generally, it can run continuously for about 30 hours when the mainspring is full, depending on the movement.

Elderly people and those who sit in the office and exercise less are the least suitable to wear such watches, in which case it is recommended that the wearer regularly wind the watch manually. If the error of an automatic watch is 45 seconds in 24 hours at room temperature, it is a normal error.

Mechanical watches are considered to be more common watches in daily life, and their prices are divided by the fineness of their internal structure and the accuracy of their movements. Mechanical watches do not use batteries, and the power of mechanical watches** is powered by the mainspring in the movement, which drives the gears and then pushes the watch hands.

Mechanical watches are divided into manual mechanical watches and fully automatic mechanical watches

Manual mechanical watch: Winding the movement by hand, by turning the handle of the watch, the mainspring in the watch movement is fully wound, and the clockwork is completely discharged to push the gears to run and push the hands to keep time.

Automatic watch: The power of the automatic movement is generated by the weight of the oscillating weight in the movement, when the arm wearing the watch swings, it will drive the rotor to rotate, and at the same time drive the mainspring in the watch to wind the watch and push the time.

Mechanical watch features:

1. Unlike quartz watches, the second hand of a mechanical watch moves continuously and uninterruptedly.

2. Due to the complexity of the mechanical watch movement, the time error is large, the general allowable range is 45 seconds, and the error of the chronometer movement is small, and the error of one day is normal within -4 + 6 seconds. The time error of the mechanical watch cannot be accumulated, and the watch needs to be adjusted after a period of time.

3. The process is fine, easy to use, and the mainspring can go for more than 35 hours.

4. The movement has a long service life.

Automatic watches should be loved by most men, while women are overwhelmingly fond of small, beautiful and stylish watches. Automatic watches do not have the button batteries in quartz watches that we often see. To put it simply, we can understand an automatic mechanical watch as an upgraded version of a manual mechanical watch.

The biggest difference between an automatic watch and a manual watch is that an important part is added to its dial - the balance wheel.

Everyone should be very unfamiliar with the term 'balance', but it is actually very easy to understand. It exists inside the dial when people wear the watch on their wrists and moveIt serves as a continuous winding for the watch, by this action, makes the hour hand turn. And because of this special task, there are many taboos in the wearing of automatic watches.

For example, some people are not suitable for wearing; For example, there are some places where it is not suitable for wearing.

First of all, we can understand that an automatic mechanical watch relies on the movement of the wrist of the person wearing the watch to wind the gears in the centerIf the person wearing the watch does not exercise for a long time, or if the wrist does not move enough, then there is not a sufficient kinetic energy to convert into the energy of the watch. So,Sedentary people are not suitable for wearing.

Secondly, when wearing an automatic mechanical watch, you should avoid placing the watch next to magnetic fields or large household appliances. Because, the inside of an automatic mechanical watch is composed of a lot of precision parts, and theseThe parts are all subject to interference from magnetic fields. Therefore, when we wear an automatic mechanical watch, we should be careful not to expose it to magnetic fields or electromagnetic waves for a long time.

There is one more important taboo that deserves our attention. As I have said before, automatic mechanical watches do not have batteries, and they can operate normally, completely relying on the countless small mechanical parts in the dial and case to play a role, and this combination of mechanical parts is most afraid of strong vibration! Any single shock can cause a part to fail, causing the entire automatic watch to 'strike'.

Hello, the power of mechanical watches is the barrel, not relying on the battery, the battery of the watch is generally quartz watch, photo-kinetic meter, electronic watch, thank you!
