[0002] In the metal processing and surface treatment industry, drum polishing technology is widely adopted as a key process to significantly improve the smoothness of the workpiece surface and effectively eliminate surface defects. Especially for small and precise parts such as watch cases, case polishing is an indispensable key step. Since watch case polishing usually only requires polishing of the outer wall, while the inner wall does not need to be polished, a single watch case needs to be clamped on a single fixture before polishing to cover the inner wall of the watch case so that the outer wall of the watch case can be polished efficiently and accurately. This step ensures that the inner wall of the watch case will not be accidentally damaged during the polishing process, while ensuring the uniformity and consistency of the polishing effect. In order to polish the watch case in batches, multiple fixtures will be hung on the hanging rod before polishing, and the two ends are fastened with screws to achieve connection.

[0003] The existing drum polishing clamping process generally uses a simple fixture to clamp a single watch case on the fixture, then string the fixtures clamped with the watch case on the hanging rod one by one, and finally fix the two ends of the hanging rod with screws. Then, a string of fixtures clamped with watch cases can be put into the drum polishing machine for batch polishing. The entire clamping process is cumbersome, not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also greatly reduces the clamping production efficiency.

[0071] Referring to Fig.17 and Fig.18 , the positioning plates at the upper and lower ends of the two hanging rods 55 are specifically an upper positioning plate 52 and a lower positioning plate 51. Among them, the upper positioning plate 52 is sleeved on the upper ends of the two hanging rods 55, and the lower positioning plate 51 is sleeved on the lower ends of the two hanging rods 55. The two clamping plates are specifically an upper clamping plate 54 and a lower clamping plate 53. The upper clamping plate 54 is superimposed on the top of the upper positioning plate 52, and the lower clamping plate 53 is located inside the lower positioning plate 51.

[0072] Referring to Fig.15 , Fig.16 and Fig.18 , the lower positioning plate 51 is in a "mu" shape. At the bottom of the lower positioning plate 51, two pairs of lower limit screws 511 are fixed. The lower ends of the two hanging rods 55 pass through the lower positioning plate 51 and extend outside the lower positioning plate 51. The lower clamping plate 53 is located in the groove at the bottom of the lower positioning plate 51. One end of the lower clamping plate 53 is provided with a handle, and the other end of the lower clamping plate 53 is provided with two pairs of lower limit side grooves 531. The same pair of lower limit side grooves 531 are located on the two corresponding side surfaces of the lower clamping plate 53. The same pair of lower limit screws 511 are correspondingly arranged in the same pair of lower limit side grooves 531. The lower clamping plate 53 is provided with two lower clamping holes 532 for the lower ends of the two hanging rods 55 to slide laterally in a one-to-one correspondence. Each lower clamping hole 532 is in a long strip shape. The lower ends of the two hanging rods 55 are respectively located in the two lower clamping holes 532. On the two corresponding inner walls of each lower clamping hole 532, there are respectively provided lower clamping platforms 5321. The lower clamping groove 551 at the lower end of each hanging rod 55 is movably clamped with the two lower clamping platforms 5321 in the corresponding lower clamping hole 532. The two elastic sleeves 56 are supported on the lower positioning plate 51.

[0073] Referring to Fig.17 , Fig.19 and Fig. 20, the upper positioning plate 52 is also in the shape of a Chinese character "mu". Two pairs of upper limit screws 521 are fixed to the bottom of the upper positioning plate 52. The upper ends of the two hanging rods 55 pass through the upper positioning plate 52 and extend outside the upper positioning plate 52. The upper clamping plate 54 is located at the top of the upper positioning plate 52. One end of the upper clamping plate 54 is provided with a handle, and the other end of the upper clamping plate 54 is provided with two pairs of upper limit side grooves 541. The same pair of upper limit side grooves 541 are located on two corresponding side surfaces of the upper clamping plate 54. The same pair of upper limit screws 521 are correspondingly arranged in the same pair of upper limit side grooves 541. Two upper clamping holes 542 for the upper ends of the two hanging rods 55 to slide laterally correspondingly are provided on the upper clamping plate 54. Each upper clamping hole 542 is in a strip shape. The upper ends of the two hanging rods 55 are respectively located in the two upper clamping holes 542. Upper clamping platforms 5421 are respectively provided on two corresponding inner walls of each upper clamping hole 542. The upper clamping grooves 552 at the upper ends of each hanging rod 55 are movably clamped with the two upper clamping platforms 5421 in the corresponding upper clamping hole 542.

[0074] The hanger 5 of the present invention realizes limit connection through two clamping plates and the positioning plates at both ends of the hanging rod 55, and the two ends of the hanging rod 55 can be flexibly and movably clamped with the two clamping plates. The user only needs to simply push and pull the two clamping plates to easily control the clamping state of the two ends of the hanging rod 55 and the two clamping plates, thus greatly simplifying the disassembly and assembly process of the hanging rod 55. At the same time, the design of the elastic sleeve 56 is introduced to provide necessary elastic support for all the clamps 14 on the hanging rod 55. During the polishing process, as the pressure on the workpiece (i.e., the watch case 6) clamped by the clamp 14 continuously changes, the elastic sleeve 56 can make corresponding flexible adjustments to ensure the stability and consistency of the polishing operation, thereby improving the polishing quality.

[0075] Refer to Figures 1 to 20 , the specific clamping method of the watch case before drum polishing of the present invention is as follows:

[0076] Clamp a plurality of clamp seats 142 correspondingly on a plurality of lower installation grooves at the top of the base 11;

[0077] Sheath a plurality of watch cases 6 correspondingly on the lower positioning blocks 1421 of the plurality of clamp seats 142;

[0078] Cover the upper limit plate 12. At this time, all the watch cases 6 can be located between the limit plate 12 and the base 11;

[0079] First, clamp a plurality of clamp covers 141 correspondingly on a plurality of upper installation grooves at the bottom of the cover plate 13, and then cover the cover plate 13 with the plurality of clamp covers 141 clamped thereon on the limit plate 12. The lower magnets 146 on the plurality of clamp seats 142 and the upper magnets 147 on the plurality of cover plates 13 are magnetically connected correspondingly to form a plurality of clamps 14. At this time, the base 11, the limit plate 12 and the cover plate 13 are superposed together due to the magnetic attraction of the clamps 14 to form a clamping assembly 1;

[0080] The clamping assembly 1 holding multiple watch cases 6 is placed on the slide 21, and the multiple support columns 211 are inserted into the multiple lower insertion holes 114 of the base 11 one by one and pressed against the bottom of the limit plate 12;

[0081] Push the slide 21 so that the slide 21 carrying the clamping assembly 1 slides to the bottom of the pressing plate 23;

[0082] The two cover-opening cylinders 22 drive the pressing plate 23 to move downward, and the multiple pressing columns 231 at the bottom of the pressing plate 23 pass through the multiple upper plug holes 133 on the cover plate 13 one by one, and then are inserted into the upper holes 144 of the multiple clamping covers 141 one by one. Since the diameter of the lower hole 143 of the clamping seat 142 is smaller than the diameter of the upper hole 144 of the clamping cover 141, the multiple pressing columns 231 will press the clamping seat 142 downward, and the clamping cover 141 will be disengaged from the cover plate 13, and all the clamps 14 and the base 11 clamping the watch case 6 will move downward together. Since the limiting plate 12 and the cover plate 13 are still supported on all the supporting columns 211, the cover plate 13 and the limiting plate 12 can be manually removed from the slide seat 21 smoothly, and the base 11 and all the clamps 14 clamping the watch case 6 will remain on the slide seat 21;

[0083] Manually remove multiple bases 11 with clamps 14 from the slide 21, and reversely string them on the multiple hanging rods 55 on the serial connection plate 3, so that the multiple clamps 14 on the base 11 are correspondingly stringed on the multiple hanging rods 55 on the serial connection plate 3, and then remove the base 11 from the serial connection plate 3;

[0084] The above steps are continuously repeated until all the hanging rods 55 on the connecting plate 3 are fully strung with the clamps 14;

[0085] Take down two of the hanging rods 55 with the clamps 14 from the connecting plate 3 and vertically insert them into the lower positioning plate 51, and the lower ends of the two hanging rods 55 pass through the lower positioning plate 51 and the lower clamping holes 532 of the lower clamping plate 53 in turn and extend to the outside of the lower clamping plate 53;

[0086] Manually push the lower clamping plate 53 inward along the length direction of the lower positioning plate 51, so that the lower clamping groove 551 at the lower end of each hanging rod 55 is clamped with the two lower clamping platforms 5321 corresponding to the lower clamping holes 532 on the lower clamping plate 53, so that the lower ends of the two hanging rods 55 can be connected to the lower positioning plate 51, so that the lower end of the hanger 5 is in a clamping state;

[0087] Install the upper positioning plate 52 which is limitedly connected with the upper clamping plate 54 on the upper ends of the two hanging rods 55, so that the upper ends of the two hanging rods 55 pass through the upper positioning plate 52 and the two upper clamping holes 542 of the upper clamping plate 54 in sequence and extend to the outside of the upper clamping plate 54, and adjust the position of the upper positioning plate 52 to make the upper end of the hanger 5 in a loose state;

[0088] Place the hanger 5 with the upper end in a loosened state on the carrier plate 44, so that the two hanging rods 55 extending beyond the lower card plate 53 are inserted into the two slots 441 of the carrier plate 44 one by one. At this time, the two stop bars 431 jointly position the upper positioning plate 52 and the lower positioning plate 51 (the two stop bars 431 respectively cooperate with the two corners of each positioning plate);

[0089] The slide plate 43 is pushed to the right, and the slide plate 43 drives the carrying plate 44, the hanger 5 and the clamp 14 connected in series to move to the right together, until the carrying plate 44 and the slide plate 43 move into the clamping space 422 and are located directly above the clamping plate 451, and the clamping cylinder 45 drives the clamping plate 451 to move upward, and the clamping plate 451 lifts the carrying plate 44 and the carried hanger 5 together, so that the upper positioning plate 52 presses against the baffle 42. At this time, since the lower end of the hanger 5 is stuck and the upper end of the hanger 5 is in a loose state, the clamp 14 connected in series by the two hanging rods 55 will compress the elastic sleeve 56 until the distance between the two positioning plates reaches a preset value, the clamping plate 451 stops moving upward, and the two positioning plates clamp the clamps 14 connected in series on the two hanging rods 55;

[0090] The upper clamping plate 54 is pushed inward along the length direction of the upper positioning plate 52, so that the upper clamping groove 552 at the upper end of each hanging rod 55 is clamped with the two upper clamping platforms 5421 corresponding to the upper clamping holes 542 on the upper clamping plate 54, so that the upper ends of the two hanging rods 55 can be connected to the upper positioning plate 52. At this time, the upper ends of the two hanging rods 55 are also in a clamped state;

[0091] The clamping plate 451 is reset and retracted, and the supporting plate 44 is supported on the slide plate 43 again. The slide plate 43 is pushed to the left, and the supporting plate 44, the hanger 5 and all the clamps 14 connected in series, and the watch case 6 clamped on the clamp 14 are moved to the leftmost end of the machine base 41 along with the slide plate 43. The hanger 5 with both ends clamped can be removed and put into the drum polishing machine for polishing.

[0092] After polishing is completed, when it is necessary to remove the two hanging rods 55 of the hanger 5 and the connected clamps 14 and the watch case 6, first manually pull the upper clamping plate 54 outward along the length direction of the upper positioning plate 52 to disengage the upper ends of the two hanging rods 55 from the upper clamping plate 54, and then the upper positioning plate 52 with the upper clamping plate 54 connected in a limited position can be removed, and then manually pull the lower clamping plate 53 outward along the length direction of the lower positioning plate 51 to disengage the lower ends of the two hanging rods 55 from the lower clamping plate 53, and then the lower positioning plate 51 with the lower clamping plate 53 connected in a limited position can be removed.

[0093] The method for clamping watch cases before roller polishing of the present invention utilizes a clamping assembly 1 to clamp a plurality of watch cases 6 one by one on a plurality of fixtures 14, then a portion of the clamping assembly 1 is disassembled by a cover removal device 2 to expose all the fixtures 14, then the other portion of the clamping assembly 1 and all the fixtures 14 carried thereon are removed, and all the exposed fixtures 14 are connected one by one in series to a plurality of hanging rods 55, and finally a clamping device 4 is utilized to install the plurality of hanging rods 55 connected in series with the fixtures 14 between two positioning plates and clamp them to form a hanger 5, so as to facilitate roller polishing. The entire production line simplifies the clamping processing production process of the watch cases 6, and can clamp a plurality of watch cases 6 simultaneously and quickly without damage, thereby improving the clamping efficiency of the watch cases 6.

[0094] The above disclosure is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, which cannot be used to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, equivalent changes made within the scope of the patent application of the present invention are still within the scope covered by the present invention.
