TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of jewelry inlaying, and particularly relates to a non-destructive jade bead inlaying structure. BACKGROUND
[0002] In the existing jade inlaying technology, the traditional process adopts the punching rope or metal claw inlaying method to fix the jade. The punching process directly destroys the natural structure of the jade, reducing its collection value. Although the metal claw inlaying can reduce damage, the claw part usually blocks an area of more than 40%, affecting the complete display of the surface of the jade. The buckle type inlaying structure appeared in recent years has problems such as narrow adaptation range and insufficient fixing stability.
[0003] In view of the above defects, the utility model provides an innovative solution: through the upper and lower symmetrical metal bracket structure, combined with the elastic buckle assembly and the hollow window design, the universality adaptation of 8-20mm diameter range is realized under the premise of avoiding the punching of the jade. The structure adopts a memory metal and spring composite elastic system, cooperates with a silica gel gasket buffer layer, ensures the fixing strength and prevents the surface of the jade from being worn. The hollow window is designed by using a geometric optimization algorithm, ensures that the exposure rate of the surface of the jade is more than 60% while providing sufficient support strength, realizes the double effect of protection and display. UTILITY MODEL CONTENTS
[0004] The utility model aims at: in view of the above-mentioned problems, a non-destructive jade bead inlaying structure is provided, which can avoid the punching of the jade, maintain the original integrity of the jade, and realize the full coverage of the 8-20mm diameter jade beads.
[0005] The technical scheme of the utility model is as follows:
[0006] The inlaying structure of the utility model is composed of two pieces of mirror-symmetrical brackets, is precisely processed by using pure gold, K gold or TC4 titanium alloy material, the inner wall is provided with an arc-shaped clamping groove matched with the outer surface of the jade, the radian tolerance is controlled within ±0.02mm, the uniform force of the jade is ensured, the bracket forms a complete ring after being closed, and the initial pre-tightening force is generated through the elastic deformation of the material.
[0007] Further, the bracket surface adopts a geometric hollow structure designed by using parameters, and the window area ratio is 60%-65%. A hexagonal honeycomb topology structure is adopted, and the safety factor of the maximum stress point is greater than or equal to 2.5 through finite element optimization. The R0.3mm arc-shaped transition is arranged at the window edge, and the contact stress when the jade is clamped is effectively dispersed.
[0008] Further, the buckle is composed of a Ni-Ti memory alloy clamping arm and a 304 stainless steel spring to form a double elastic system. The working section of the clamping arm is in the shape of a gradually changing parabola, and the free end is only 0.3 mm thick, ensuring flexible wrapping of the jade with a diameter of 8-20 mm. The spring adopts a variable pitch design and provides a constant elastic force of 45±5 N when compressed by 3 mm.
[0009] Further, a replaceable silica gel pad is arranged on the inner side of the clamping arm and is formed by a medical-grade liquid silicone injection molding process. The surface is laser etched with diamond-shaped anti-slip patterns with a depth of 0.1 mm, and the friction coefficient reaches 0.85. The pad has a compression permanent set of less than 3% in 24 hours, effectively protecting the surface of the jade from mechanical damage.
[0010] In addition, the connecting ring is integrally formed with the bracket body through a cold forging process, and the ring cross section adopts a composite structure of an outer circle and an inner square. The outer circle has a diameter of φ3 mm, the inner square has a side length of 2.5 mm, three reinforcing ribs are arranged at the root to connect with the bracket body, and the bending strength is increased by 30%. The ring axis is perpendicular to the bracket axis at 90°, ensuring that the force direction of the chain is consistent with the gravity direction of the jade when worn.
[0011] Further, the upper and lower brackets are connected through the cylindrical hinge holes arranged on both sides, and a φ1.5 mm pin shaft is used to realize opening and closing. A spiral guide groove is arranged on the inner wall of the hinge hole, which cooperates with the lubrication groove on the surface of the pin shaft to realize a swing damping of ≤5° during opening and closing, and the operating force is controlled in the range of 3-8 N.
[0012] Further, a 15° guide slope is arranged at the free end of the clamping arm, forming a 30° angle with the loading direction of the jade. An M1.2 adjusting screw is arranged at the root, which realizes precise fitting of jade with different diameters by changing the screw-in depth and adjusting the clamping force.
[0013] In addition, a radial array of elastic protrusions is arranged on the inner wall of the arc-shaped clamping groove, which is formed by photolithography micro-machining technology. The protrusions have a height of 0.3 mm, a width of 0.2 mm, and a spacing of 1 mm, which can produce local elastic deformation when the jade is clamped, improving the radial positioning accuracy.
[0014] In addition, a anti-rotation groove is arranged in the inner square hole of the hidden connecting ring, which adopts an equilateral triangular cross section design and cooperates with the wedge-shaped protrusion of the standard chain buckle to realize circumferential positioning. The outer circle surface is treated with CD pattern anti-slip, and the friction coefficient is improved by 40%.
[0015] Further, a base of deep and shallow interlaced chiseled lines is arranged on the surface of the bracket, the deep lines with a width of 0.3 mm and a width of 0.5 mm are used for traditional manual chiseling, and the shallow lines with a width of 0.1 mm and a width of 1.0 mm are suitable for 3D printing powder sintering process. The direction of the lines is parallel to the edge of the hollow window, which ensures the structural strength while providing a decorative texture basis.
[0016] In summary, due to the adoption of the technical scheme, the non-destructive jade bead inlay structure has the beneficial effects that:
[0017] 1、The non-destructive jade bead inlay structure has the non-destructive fixing function, avoids jade drilling, and maintains the original integrity of the jade.
[0018] 2、The non-destructive jade bead inlay structure realizes 8-20mm diameter full coverage through the replaceable silica gel gasket and the adjusting screw.
[0019] 3、The non-destructive jade bead inlay structure maintains constant clamping force in the range of 0-50N tension through the composite elastic system of the memory alloy and the spring, and guarantees the stability of the jade. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS
