[Technical field]

[0002] The invention relates to the technical field of watch processing, and in particular to equipment for a watch ring pressing process. [Background technology]

[0004] The bezel of a watch is often decorated by inlaying diamonds and other inlays. The most common inlay method at present is claw setting, which uses a long metal claw to tightly hold the diamond and other inlays, but the claw setting process is complicated and cumbersome, and the metal claw is easy to get caught on hair or fabric. If the metal claw is made of a softer metal, it may cause the metal claw to deform easily and the diamond and other inlays to fall off. In addition, the existing inlay method often requires the inlays to be fixed one by one, and the inlay process is cumbersome. Later, the idea of ​​pressing the bezel to fix the inlay emerged. Through the pressing process, the bezel can fix the inlay, but the bezel is round, and it is difficult to press the bezel evenly, which makes it difficult to fix the inlay. At present, there is a lack of equipment that can realize the above pressing process and press the bezel. [Summary of the invention]

[0032] In order to make the technical problem, technical solution and beneficial effects solved by the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention.

[0033] When the embodiments of the present invention mention ordinal numbers such as "first" and "second", unless they do express the meaning of order according to the context, they should be understood as being merely for the purpose of distinction.

[0034] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "connected" and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0035] The bezel pressing process equipment comprises a frame 5, a pressing mechanism 6 arranged on the frame 5 for pressing the bezel, and a rotating mechanism 7 for rotating the bezel relative to the pressing mechanism 6 when the bezel is pressed.

[0036] The present invention provides equipment for a bezel pressing process. While a pressing mechanism is used to press the bezel, a rotating mechanism is used to rotate the bezel relative to the pressing mechanism. Thus, the bezel can be pressed evenly, and the insert can be more firmly fixed on the bezel, producing a good pressing effect.

[0037] Further, as a preferred embodiment of the present invention but not limiting, the pressing mechanism 6 includes a pressing member 61 for pressing against the bezel, and a driving device 62 for driving the pressing member 61 to move to the bezel. When the bezel needs to be pressed, the driving device drives the pressing member to move to the bezel and press against the bezel to press the bezel, thereby fixing the insert on the bezel. When there is no need to press against the bezel or another bezel needs to be replaced for pressing, the driving device drives the pressing member to leave the bezel and make way for the bezel to facilitate disassembly and assembly of the bezel.

[0038] Further, as a preferred embodiment of the present solution but not limiting, the driving device 62 includes a driving device fixing seat 621 provided on the frame 5, a rotating gear 622 provided on the driving device fixing seat 621, and a rack 623 for meshing with the rotating gear 622, and the pressing member 61 is provided on the bottom end of the rack 623. In this embodiment, the handle 6221 is provided on the rotating gear, and the rotating handle drives the rotating gear to rotate, and the rotating gear drives the rack to move downward or downward, thereby driving the pressing member located at the end of the rack to move up and down.

[0039] Further, as a preferred embodiment of the present solution but not a limitation, an angle adjustment assembly 63 for adjusting the pressing angle of the pressing member 61 on the bezel is provided between the rack 623 and the pressing member 61, and the angle adjustment assembly 63 includes an angle adjustment seat 631 provided on the end of the rack 623 and used for being fixedly connected to the pressing member 61, and an angle stopper 632 that cooperates with the angle adjustment seat 631 and presses on the pressing member 61 to adjust the tilt angle of the pressing member 61 relative to the angle adjustment seat 631. The pressing member is fixed to the angle adjustment seat by a fastener 611, and the fastener and the angle adjustment seat are threadedly matched. According to the needs for the angle and position of the bezel, first use the angle limiter to cooperate with the angle adjustment seat, adjust the inclination angle of the forcing piece relative to the angle adjustment seat, so that the forcing piece is pressed against the angle limiter, and then use the fasteners to fix the forcing piece on the angle adjustment seat. In this way, when the forcing piece is subjected to the interaction force with the bezel during the forcing process, the forcing piece is pressed against the angle limiter, and the angle limiter performs secondary position limiting on the forcing piece to prevent the fastener from loosening, which causes the set inclination angle between the forcing piece and the angle adjustment seat to change.

[0040] Furthermore, as a preferred implementation mode of the present solution but not a limitation, the angle adjustment seat 631 is threadedly matched with the angle limiter 632, and the inclination angle of the pressing member 61 relative to the angle adjustment seat 631 is adjusted by adjusting the length of the angle limiter 632 extending from the angle adjustment seat 631. According to the angle and position of the bezel pressing as required, the angle limiter is first threadedly matched with the angle adjustment seat, and the insertion depth between the angle limiter and the angle adjustment seat is adjusted, so that the limiting position of the pressing member can be accurately adjusted.

[0041] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment of the present solution but not a limitation, the driving device 62 further includes a guide assembly 64 for limiting the vertical movement of the rack 623, and the guide assembly 64 includes a guide column 641 arranged vertically on the driving device fixing seat 621, a limit plate 642 arranged on an end of the rack 623 away from the pressing member 61, and a guide sleeve 643 arranged on the limit plate 642 and slidably matched with the guide column 641. The guide sleeve cooperates with the guide column so that the rack can move downward in the vertical direction under the drive of the rotating gear, and the guide assembly can keep the pressing member moving vertically when moving, thereby improving the pressing accuracy.

[0042] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment of the present invention but not limiting, the reset assembly 65 includes a fixed rod 652 disposed on the guide column 641, and a reset spring 651 having two ends respectively connected to the fixed rod 652 and the limit plate 642. When the handle is turned to move the rack downward to press the bezel, the reset spring between the guide column and the rack is stretched, and when there is no need to press the bezel, the handle is released, the reset spring contracts, and the rack automatically moves upward and resets automatically.

[0043] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment of the present invention but not a limitation, the driving device 62 further includes an upper limit assembly 66 and a lower limit assembly 67 for limiting the moving distance of the pressing member 61, the upper limit assembly 66 includes an upper limit assembly 661 provided on the guide column 641 for limiting the upward movement of the guide sleeve 643, and the lower limit assembly 67 includes a lower limit assembly 671 provided on the limit plate 642 for limiting the downward movement of the rack 623 by pressing on the driving device fixing seat 621. In this embodiment, the lower limit assembly includes a bolt, and the bolt is threadedly matched with the limit plate. By adjusting the distance that the bolt is screwed into the limit plate, when the rotating wheel drives the rack to descend, the lower limit assembly presses on the driving device fixing seat, thereby limiting the rack from continuing to move downward, and preventing the pressing member from over-pressing the bezel for a long time. When there is no need to press the bezel, release the rotating handle, the reset spring contracts, and the rack automatically moves upward and resets automatically. The upper limit piece cooperates with the guide column, and the height position of the rack automatic reset is adjusted by adjusting the matching position of the upper limit piece on the guide column.

[0044] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment of the present invention but not limiting, the rotating mechanism 7 includes a clamping claw turntable 71 provided on the frame 5 for clamping and fixing the bezel and driving the bezel to rotate. In this embodiment, the clamping claw turntable is rotated manually, and a power device such as a motor can also be used to rotate the clamping claw turntable, and the pressing member presses on the bezel, and the rotating clamping claw turntable rotates to rotate the bezel, so that the pressing member can press the circumference of the bezel, so that the pressing is uniform, and the precision of the pressing process is improved.

[0045] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment of the present invention but not limiting, it further includes a height adjustment device 8 disposed between the frame 5 and the pressing mechanism 6, the height adjustment device 8 includes a height adjustment column 81 disposed on the frame, the drive device fixing seat 621 is sleeved with the height adjustment column 81, and the height adjustment device 8 also includes a tensioning device 82 for adjusting the tightness of the sleeve between the drive device fixing seat 621 and the height adjustment column 81, which is used to adjust the height of the pressing member 61 relative to the bezel. The drive device fixing seat is sleeved on the height adjustment rod and fixed on the height adjustment rod through the tensioning device, thereby adjusting the height.

[0046] The working principle of the equipment used for the bezel pressing process is as follows:

[0047] The present invention provides equipment for a bezel pressing process. While a pressing mechanism is used to press the bezel, a rotating mechanism is used to rotate the bezel relative to the pressing mechanism. Thus, the bezel can be pressed evenly, and the insert can be more firmly fixed on the bezel, producing a good pressing effect.

[0048] The bezel used in conjunction with the bezel pressing process equipment includes a pressing type bezel, which includes a bezel body 1, the bezel body 1 is provided with a groove 2 for placing an insert 4, and the groove 2 is provided with an outer ring 11 and an inner bezel 12 on both sides for forming the groove 2. When the outer ring 11 or the inner bezel 12 is pressed toward the insert 4, a slot 3 for fixing the insert 4 is formed between the outer ring 11 and the inner bezel 12.

[0049] The pressure-type bezel includes a bezel body, a groove for placing an insert on the bezel body, an outer ring and an inner ring for forming the groove on both sides of the groove, and a groove for fixing the insert is formed between the outer ring and the inner ring when the outer ring or the inner ring is pressed toward the insert. The insert is placed on the groove, and then pressure is applied to the outer ring or the inner ring so that the outer ring or the inner ring is pressed toward the insert, so that the insert is fixed on the groove. In this way, all the inserts in the groove can be fixed by pressing the outer ring or the inner ring, without fixing the inserts one by one. Not only is the inlay process simple and quick, but the inserts can also be firmly fixed and are not easy to fall off.

[0050] Further, as a preferred embodiment of the present solution but not a limitation, the groove 2 includes a groove slope 21 that is inclined in a direction that gradually expands from the bottom of the groove to the opening, and the groove slope 21 allows the insert 4 to move along the groove 2 slope to the clamping groove 3 for fixation when the outer ring 11 or the inner ring 12 is pressed. The groove slope that is inclined in a direction that gradually expands from the bottom of the groove to the opening is used to make the insert concentrate toward the bottom of the groove when the insert is placed on the groove, and is used to limit the position of the insert so that the insert is better sunk into the groove, and can also make the distances between multiple inserts and the outer ring or the inner ring the same, so that the multiple inserts are evenly stressed. When the outer ring or the inner ring presses the insert, the distance between the outer ring and the inner ring gradually decreases, forcing the insert to rise along the groove slope to the clamping groove, and then the clamping groove fixes the insert.

[0051] Further, as a preferred embodiment of the present solution but not a limitation, the clamping slot 3 includes a first limiting slot 111 provided on the outer ring 11, and a second limiting slot 121 provided on the inner ring 12, and the first limiting slot 111 and the second limiting slot 121 clamp and fix the insert 4 on both sides of the insert 4. The two sides of the insert are respectively against the inclined surface of the groove, and then, with the pressure of the outer ring or the inner ring, it rises along the inclined surface of the groove to the position where the clamping slot is located, and the two sides of the insert are respectively embedded in the first limiting slot and the second limiting slot, thereby achieving the effect of clamping and fixing.

[0052] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment of the present solution but not a limitation, the first limiting groove 111 is provided on the end of the outer ring 11 away from the bottom of the groove 2, and the second limiting groove 121 is provided on the end of the inner ring 12 away from the bottom of the groove 2. The first limiting groove 111 and the second limiting groove 121 clamp and fix the insert 4 so that the insert 4 is separated from the bottom of the groove 2. The first limiting groove is provided on the end of the outer ring away from the bottom of the groove, and the distance between the first limiting groove and the bottom of the groove is increased to accommodate inserts of different sizes. The smaller inserts can move a longer distance along the groove slope to the slot when pressed, and the larger inserts can move a shorter distance to the slot. After the insert is separated from the bottom, it is prevented that the bottom of the insert is pressed against the bottom of the groove during the process of fixing the insert by the outer ring and the inner ring, causing damage to the insert.

[0053] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment of the present solution but not a limitation, the first limiting groove 111 includes a first limiting groove upper inclined surface 1111 and a first limiting groove lower inclined surface 1112 inclined from the bottom of the first limiting groove to the direction of gradually expanding the opening, and the first limiting groove lower inclined surface 1112 is connected to the groove inclined surface 21. The groove inclined surface is connected to the first limiting groove lower inclined surface, so that the insert 4 can enter the first limiting groove lower inclined surface along the groove inclined surface, thereby entering the first limiting groove. Similarly, the second limiting groove 121 includes a second limiting groove upper inclined surface 1211 and a second limiting groove lower inclined surface 1212 inclined from the bottom of the second limiting groove to the direction of gradually expanding the opening, and the second limiting groove lower inclined surface 1212 is connected to the groove inclined surface 21. The groove inclined surface is connected to the second limiting groove lower inclined surface, so that the insert can enter the second limiting groove lower inclined surface along the groove inclined surface, thereby entering the second limiting groove.

[0054] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment of the present invention but not a limitation, the angle between the lower inclined surface 1112 of the first limit groove and the inclined surface 21 of the groove is an obtuse angle. When the insert is pressed and moves along the inclined surface of the groove to the junction of the lower inclined surface of the first limit groove and the inclined surface of the groove, since the angle between the lower inclined surface of the first limit groove and the inclined surface of the groove is an obtuse angle, the insert will follow the lower inclined surface of the first limit groove and enter the first limit groove.

[0055] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment of the present invention but not limiting, the end of the outer ring 11 or the inner ring 12 away from the groove 2 is consistent in height with the insert 4 fixed by the slot 3. The end of the outer ring or the inner ring away from the groove is consistent in height with the insert fixed by the slot, so that the position of the insert is flush with the position of the bezel body, and the surface of the bezel body is flat.

[0056] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment of the present invention but not limiting, the groove 2 includes an annular groove 22 arranged along the bezel body 1 and for placing a plurality of inserts 4. In this embodiment, the annular groove is in a circular ring shape, and a plurality of inserts can slide cyclically along the circular groove 22. The insert does not need to be placed at a specific position in the groove, and can be pressed by the outer ring or the inner ring as long as it is placed on the circular groove, and the process of placing the insert is simple.

[0057] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment of the present invention but not limiting, a force plane 13 is provided on the outer ring 11 or the inner ring 12 for bearing the corresponding pressing pressure when pressing the outer ring 11 or the inner ring 12. The force plane is used as a force plane in contact with the pressing mechanism providing the pressing pressure when pressing the outer ring or the inner ring, so as to avoid the sharp parts or edges being stressed, resulting in excessive pressure and damage to the ring body.

[0058] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment of the present invention but not limiting, the bezel body 1 is integrally formed with the outer bezel 11 and the inner bezel 12. The bezel body is integrally formed with the outer bezel and the inner bezel, and can have good mechanical properties and is not easily damaged during compression.

[0059] A watch comprising a compression bezel as described above.

[0060] The working principle of the pressure bezel is as follows:

[0061] The pressure-type bezel includes a bezel body, a groove for placing an insert on the bezel body, an outer ring and an inner ring for forming the groove on both sides of the groove, and a groove for fixing the insert is formed between the outer ring and the inner ring when the outer ring or the inner ring is pressed toward the insert. The insert is placed on the groove, and then pressure is applied to the outer ring or the inner ring so that the outer ring or the inner ring is pressed toward the insert, so that the insert is fixed on the groove. In this way, all the inserts in the groove can be fixed by pressing the outer ring or the inner ring, without fixing the inserts one by one. Not only is the inlay process simple and quick, but the inserts can also be firmly fixed and are not easy to fall off.
