What is the automatic winding of a mechanical watch?

You should be talking about automatic mechanical watches, the power of the automatic movement is to rely on the weight of the weight of the movement to produce, when the arm of the watch swings will drive the weight of the table, and at the same time drive the watch to wind the watch, but when not wearing, it is best to put in a modalo Modalo watch shaker, otherwise the watch is easy to damage!

Winding. Mechanical watches are usually driven by the rotation of the crown (manual or automatic) to wind the mainspring, and the winding system releases kinetic energy to drive it.

The chronograph function of a watch, an act called "winding". Generally, the winding operation is mostly seen in manual mechanical watches and automatic machines.

The watch is only manually wound when the power is replenished.

How it works. Holding the watch in the left hand, the dial is facing up at 12 o'clock, and the right hand directly rotates the crown (rotates the crown clockwise), the crown does not need to be pulled out, and the thumb turns the crown upwards, generally rotating 25-30 times to load the full wind.

A full mainspring will usually keep the watch running for about 36 hours.

Precautions. All mechanical watches need to be manually wound for 25-30 laps before being worn for the first time as initial power;

Automatic watches need to be effectively worn for more than 8 hours a day to maintain the power of the watch, and effective wear means that the arm needs to be in a state of movement;

If the power of the automatic watch is insufficient due to insufficient effective wear, it can be manually wound to supplement the power, and each time it is wound 15-20 times;

Automatic watches are manually wound about twice a week, and it is not recommended to wind them manually every day, as it will cause certain wear and tear on the watch movement.

It means that the movement of the watch is self-winding, and it uses the power generated by the rotor at the bottom of the movement to swing left and right to drive the spring to generate energy.

The power of an automatic watch**The oscillation of the wearer's wrist generates energy to wind the wind.

Difference Between Automatic Watches and Ordinary Mechanical Watches:

1. The winding method is different.

Ordinary mechanical watches: need to be manually wound every day.

Automatic watch: It has an internal motor that uses the movement of the wrist to wind itself.

2. The internal movement is different.

Ordinary mechanical watches: there is only one spiral, when people wind the watch, the spiral is also tightened at the same time, and when the spiral is loosened, it begins to drive the watch movement to move.

<>3. The degree of wear and tear of parts is different.

Ordinary mechanical watches: hand-plucked winding, need a handle to drive many automatic wheels to rotate together, automatic parts are very easy to wear.

Automatic watch: The mainspring is driven only by the power generated by the oscillation of the rotor from side to side, and the wear of the components is relatively light.

Automatic watches are a modification of manual watches that add an oscillating weight to the watch; When worn, the oscillating weight in the watch rotates in response to the movement of the wrist to achieve the effect of winding. Since the movement of the wrist will continue to wind the watch, automatic watches have a function to prevent the mainspring from being too tight to avoid damage to the mainspring.

1. A self-winding mechanical watch means that the rotor at the bottom of the movement is used to swing left and right to generate power, which can drive the winding of the mainspring, mainly after wearing it on the hand, relying on the swing between the wrists to automatically wind it. It does not need to be wound by hand, it is more reliable and stable than a hand-wound mechanical watch.

2. The automatic mechanical watch is an improvement of the manual watch, which adds a balance wheel to the dial, mainly using the rotor at the bottom of the movement to swing left and right to generate power, so as to drive the spring to generate energy, and the automatic winding watch is to automatically wind the spring through the swing between the wrists, so as to improve the continuous energy.

When the mechanical watch is wound, the correct operation is to pull out the handle with the right hand when the front of the watch is facing up, and there are two gears with the calendar, the first gear is the calendar adjustment, and the outer gear is the winding, and the handle can be wound by turning the handle in the clockwise direction. The winding of a mechanical watch is generally full after about 30 rotations, and the number of rotations varies depending on the watch model.

Mechanical watches are generally divided into two types: hand-wound and automatic. The power of a mechanical watch** is the mainspring of the movement, which drives the gears and then the hands.

Manual mechanical watches, hand wound movement, by turning the crown of the watch, the mainspring in the watch movement is fully wound, through the mainspring completely exhausted to push the gears to run, pushing the hands to time. 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.

Manual mechanical watches are usually made by turning the crown to tighten the mainspring of the watch, and the windspring system releases kinetic energy to drive the watch to start working, and these steps are completed by mechanical principles and construction.

In the process of winding a mechanical watch, it is necessary to pull out the handle, turn the handle in a clockwise direction to wind, and it is usually best to wind the mechanical watch regularly at a fixed time period every day.

Fully automatic mechanical watches, automatic winding is one part, manual chain repair is another part, not to say that there is no manual winding function at low grade, now all automatic mechanical watches are both winding methods at the same time, I personally can't imagine a mechanical watch that can only be wound by shaking the watch, and I haven't seen it. Therefore, it should be a mistake to not have a manual winding function.

I mention one point here, it's not that you have to hear the sound of the gears when you wind it manually, many watches can't hear any sound when you wind it manually, you feel as if it's not winding, in fact, the kinetic energy has been stored.

As for the easy to stop the watch if you don't wear it, it's okay to wear it, it's definitely not caused by a broken movement, there are two possibilities:

1. The amount of exercise is insufficient, and it cannot provide enough kinetic energy for the watch;

2. The problem of the watch movement may be a design problem or it may be time to wash the oil, resulting in low automatic winding efficiency.

Whatever the reason, it is recommended to manually replenish the chain 7-8 times a day.

Please add a detailed explanation.

Summary. Mechanical watches are divided into manual, semi-automatic and fully automatic, if it is manual, it is manually wound by hand, which means that you have to wind it yourself every night to ensure that the watch runs on time the next day. Semi-automatic means that there is an attached automatic winding device in the watch movement, that is, the watch is worn on the hand, and when the pendulum swings in a fixed direction under dynamic conditions, it will drive the mainspring in the barrel of the movement, so as to play the role of winding.

A fully automatic watch is similar to a semi-automatic principle, but the pendulum will play a winding role no matter which direction we are moving, which means that whether it moves in the clockwise or counterclockwise direction, it will play the function of winding, thus reducing the trouble of manual winding. As for why you said that the winding can go up to the end, this truth is very simple, you may have seen a lot of small toys on the market, or ** box, all according to the principle of the clockwork, the movement in the watch is also this principle, using the clockwork to power the movement. The clockwork is a spring, and the space in it is also limited, and we can of course go up to the end when we wind it.

Because some movements are designed for fear that the user will damage the mainspring due to no guidelines when winding, an anti-slip device is also designed, so that the mainspring is still full.

I have a fully automatic watch that doesn't have a manual winding function, so how do I wind it manually?

Hello! Please describe your problem in detail! I'm so easy to answer.

I do not feel the winding of the head by hand and am a fully automatic watch.

It can only be powered by arm swinging.

The problem is not to go now.

I don't feel it by hand.

Can't get on the string. That belongs to the semi-automatic handsome arm can be on.
