[0029] 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.
[0030] The stone-set bezel comprises a bezel body 51, wherein the bezel body 51 comprises an outer ring 52, an inner ring 53, and a bezel top surface 54. The bezel top surface 54 is provided with a bracket 55 located between the outer ring 52 and the inner ring 53 and used to support the insert 6. When the outer ring 52 is subjected to a compressive force along its radial direction, the outer ring 52 is deformed and contracted toward its center direction, so that the bracket 55 is narrowed to fix the insert in the bracket 55.
[0031] The stone-set bezel of the present invention is provided with a bracket. During the stone-setting process, the inlay is first placed on the bracket and fixed by rolling. During this process, the inlay is always located in the bracket, which can prevent the inlay from falling off the bezel and reduce the difficulty of stone setting.
[0032] Further, as a preferred embodiment of the present solution but not limiting, the bracket 55 includes a first bracket 551 provided on the outer ring 52, and a second bracket 552 provided on the inner ring 53, the first bracket 551 and the second bracket 552 are arranged opposite to each other, and when the outer ring 52 is subjected to a pressing force in its radial direction, the bracket 55 is narrowed, the first bracket 551 is close to the second bracket 552 and clamps and fixes the insert together, so that the insert is embedded in the bracket 55, and the top surface 61 of the insert is lower than the top surface of the bezel 54. The top surface of the insert is lower than the top surface of the bezel, that is, the insert is completely embedded in the bracket, which is conducive to preventing the insert from falling during the rolling process and can prevent the top surface of the insert from being scratched.
[0033] Further, as a preferred embodiment of the present solution but not limiting, the bracket 55 includes a bottom surface 553, a first inclined surface 554 and a first transition surface 555 sequentially arranged from the bottom surface 553 to the first bracket 551, and a second inclined surface 556 and a second transition surface 557 sequentially arranged from the bottom surface 553 to the second bracket 552. Before rolling, the insert enters the bracket and is supported by the first transition surface and the second transition surface. The cross section of the bracket is a V-shaped structure, so that the outer ring is easier to be gathered to its center during rolling.
[0034] Further, as a preferred implementation of the present solution but not limiting, the first transition surface 555 is inclined relative to the first inclined surface toward the outside of the bracket 55. The first transition surface is used to support the insert, so that when rolling, the insert moves with the outer ring shrinking, and the relative position of the insert and the outer ring remains unchanged.
[0035] Further, as a preferred embodiment of the present solution but not a limitation, the second transition surface 557 is inclined relative to the second inclined surface toward the inside of the bracket 55. During rolling, the insert moves as the outer ring shrinks, the relative position of the insert and the outer ring remains unchanged, and the insert rises along the second transition surface until it falls into the second bracket, so that the insert can remain horizontal.
[0036] Furthermore, as a preferred implementation of this solution but not limiting, the first transition surface 555 has the same inclination angle as the inclined surface at the corresponding position of the insert, so that the insert and the first transition surface are kept in close contact.
[0037] Further, as a preferred embodiment of the present solution but not a limitation, the width of the first bracket 551 and the width of the second bracket 552 are both greater than the width of the side of the insert, and when the first bracket 551 and the second bracket 552 clamp and fix the insert, there is a gap between the upper surface 62 of the insert and the first bracket 551 and the second bracket 552. This can prevent the upper surface of the insert from being squeezed and scratched during the rolling process. At the same time, it can prevent the position of the insert from being offset or tilted due to the bracket being too narrow during the rolling process.
[0038] Further, as a preferred embodiment of the present invention but not limiting, the connection position between the first bracket 551 and the first transition surface 555 and the connection position between the second bracket 552 and the second transition surface 557 are located on the same horizontal plane, so that the insert remains horizontal after rolling.
[0039] Further, as a preferred embodiment of the present solution but not a limitation, the width of the first bracket 551 and the width of the second bracket 552 are both greater than the width of the side of the insert, and the first bracket 551 and the second bracket 552 are used for the insert to be embedded along the width direction of the first bracket 551 and the second bracket 552 to be supported on the first transition surface 555. Under the limitation of gravity and the brackets, the insert is kept in contact with the first transition surface.
[0040] Further, as a preferred implementation of this solution but not limiting, the distance from the bottom surface 553 to the connection position between the first bracket 551 and the first transition surface 555 is greater than the distance from the side of the insert to its bottom, so that the insert can be suspended relative to the bottom surface when clamped by the first bracket and the second bracket.
[0041] Further, as a preferred embodiment of the present solution but not limiting, a positioning groove 56 is provided on the bezel body 51, and the positioning groove 56 is used to cooperate with the positioning cover so that the positioning cover supports the inner ring 53 on the inner side of the inner ring 53. When the outer ring is pressed, the pressure is transmitted to the inner ring, and the positioning cover is used to support the inner ring to prevent the inner ring from deforming.

[0047] S5: rolling inlay, starting the rotating mechanism, driving the bezel to rotate one circle or more, and the pressing piece presses the outer ring of the bezel;
[0048] S6: Disassembly, remove the bezel in step S5 from the positioning base.
[0049] The bezel rolling device comprises a frame 1, a positioning mechanism 2 arranged on the frame 1, a pressing mechanism 3 for rolling the bezel on the positioning mechanism 2, and a rotating mechanism 4 for driving the positioning mechanism 2 to rotate, wherein the pressing mechanism 3 comprises a pressing seat 31, a pressing member 32 hinged to the pressing seat 31, and an adjusting assembly 33 for adjusting the relative position between the pressing member 32 and the positioning mechanism 2, and the rotating mechanism 4 comprises a rotating motor 41 and a claw plate 42 arranged on the rotating motor 41, and the positioning mechanism 2 is arranged on the claw plate 42. By using the rotating motor, the positioning mechanism on the claw plate is driven to rotate, thereby driving the dial to rotate, so that when the pressing member presses the bezel, the bezel is subjected to a uniform pressing force, thereby avoiding uneven rotation speeds, resulting in too short or too fast pressing time on the bezel, and uneven pressing effect.
[0050] Further, as a preferred embodiment of the present solution but not a limitation, the adjustment assembly 33 includes a height adjustment column 331 and a fastener 332 provided on the height adjustment column 331, the pressing seat 31 is plugged and matched with the height adjustment column 331 and rotates along the circumferential direction of the height adjustment column 331, and the fastener 332 is used to press on the pressing seat 31 to limit its rotation relative to the height adjustment column 331. After the pressing seat drives the pressing piece to rotate to a suitable position, it is fixed by the fastener so that the relative position of the pressing seat and the positioning mechanism is fixed.
[0051] Further, as a preferred embodiment of the present invention but not a limitation, the adjustment assembly 33 includes a pre-tightening member 333 serially connecting the top pressing member 32 and the top pressing seat 31, and the pre-tightening member 333 is used for articulating the top pressing member 32 and the top pressing seat 31, and for fixing the relative angle between the two. The pre-tightening member can fix the relative angle between the top pressing member and the top pressing seat.
[0052] Further, as a preferred embodiment of the present solution but not a limitation, the adjustment assembly 33 includes an adjustment member 334 horizontally arranged on the adjustment seat, and the adjustment member 334 moves horizontally relative to the pressing seat 31 toward or away from the pressing member 32, so that the pressing member 32 can limit the pressing member 32 when pressing the bezel. The adjustment end of the adjustment member faces the outside of the pressing seat, and the extension direction of the adjustment end of the adjustment member is unobstructed, which is convenient for adjustment.
[0053] Further, as a preferred embodiment of the present invention but not a limitation, the adjustment assembly 33 further includes a nut 335 threadedly engaged with the adjustment member 334, the adjustment member 334 threadedly engaged with the top pressing seat 31, and the nut 335 is used to limit the relative position between the adjustment member 334 and the top pressing seat 31.
