Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of diamond setting, and more particularly to a diamond setting and imitation diamond cutting process. Background Art

[0002] Currently, diamond ring settings are manufactured by separately making the setting and the cutouts, then securing the cutouts to the setting and setting the stone. This is a cumbersome process. Cutouts are metal mirrors that enhance the size of diamonds. During the diamond ring production process, problems arise such as loose welding, deformation, or improper placement of the cutouts. Furthermore, the diamonds require multiple adjustments during installation to ensure they match the cutout design. Existing diamond settings also have a rough, easily deformed surface, requiring manual shaping and polishing during production, making it difficult to achieve consistent stone settings. The entire process is time-consuming and labor-intensive, resulting in low efficiency and high costs.

[0003] Therefore, how to simplify the production process of diamond rings while making the diamonds look bigger is a difficult problem that needs to be solved urgently in this field at this stage. Summary of the Invention

[0054] B. Open the above file, move the 3D image to the origin of the world coordinate system, which is the center point, extract the contour line, and start writing the tool path.

[0055] C. For turning and milling surface processing, you can use a 2.0 forming flat milling cutter to mill the product's xy plane and cut the exterior shape. You can use a 2.0 forming flat milling cutter to rough out the outline of the product's exterior and the rough out the outline of the inlaid stone. You can use a 1.0 or 0.5 forming flat milling cutter to cut between the claws to make the stone-setting claws independent.

[0056] D. You can use an R0.25 flat ball cutter to machine the center of the product into place, and also machine the inner oblique position of the stone claw into place.

[0057] E. You can use a special diamond knife to finish the product shape, the inclined top of the claw body (-20° to -40° - the optimal angle is 30.588 degrees), the bevel (-40° to -65°, the optimal angle is 56.44 degrees), and the inclined bottom surface (-35° to -45°, the optimal angles are 45.087 degrees and 47.261 degrees). The side of the stone-set claw (-80° to -100°) and the bevel between the claws (-80° to -120°) can be processed with a special 120-degree T-shaped batching tool to create a reflective effect with angles between the claws.

[0058] F. You can use a special 180-degree T-shaped knife (diameter 15, thickness 1.0) to cut out the assembly pins from the product. The size is strictly controlled with an error of ±0.02MM.

[0059] G. Copper fixtures can be customized to fix the product. Finished tungsten steel knives and finished single crystal diamond knives can be customized and reasonably processed (2.0, 1.0, 0.5 formed tungsten steel knives, special 180° T-shaped knives)

[0060] It should be noted that the above-mentioned cutting tools may also be other types of cutting tools that can play the same role.

[0061] Input program into machining:

[0062] A. The operator installs the accessory fixture, calls in the specified program to turn and mill the workpiece fixture, installs the product blank, locks it, measures the Z position, and informs the programmer.

[0063] B. The programmer moves the drawing to the center position provided by the operator, calculates the tool path, writes the program, and then transmits it to the machine.

[0064] C. The operator calls up the program to check the tool number and tool, finds the specified tool and enters the corresponding value, and starts to process qualified products in sequence.

[0065] Adjustments and improvements:

[0066] A. The prong shape was refined three times. The first time, the prong size was adjusted. Originally rough and unrefined, these were resized to secure the stone and visually highlight the diamond without appearing too large. The second time, the prongs were flat-tipped, and their angles were adjusted to align with the facets of the diamond head, creating a more harmonious and aesthetically pleasing design. The third time, the prong heads were modified. Originally flat, they were replaced with facets angled approximately 155 degrees to create a more reflective and less monotonous prong.

[0067] B. The proportions between the claws and the base have been revised. To ensure a secure setting for the stone, the base was originally thick and clumsy. It has now been tilted outward, with a carve pattern applied to the inclined surface. The sides have also been faceted to match the claw positions. This reduces the visual bulk of the base, and the reflective finish from the carve pattern further enhances the diamond's appearance.

[0068] C. The outer edge of the claw body has been modified in detail. The original claw had only one surface, which was scratchy on the edge. Now it has been changed to a 0.2mm wide facet, which has a reflective effect and is more comfortable to touch and more refined.
