Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a polishing mechanism, and more particularly to an open watch strap groove polishing mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] Existing open-type watchband groove polishing mechanisms typically involve manually fixing the product to a fixture, manually inserting a brush through the groove hole, and securing both ends of the brush to tooling fixtures on either side. The fixture and product are then moved in a linear reciprocating motion to complete the polishing work. This existing structure has the following problems: First, manually clamping the product and operating the brush requires placing the product on the support platform of the tooling fixture to restrict its position, then fixing a steel wire to the side of the tooling fixture and passing it through the watchband groove, slowly tightening the nut to tighten the steel wire. Next, the tooling fixture with the product secured is placed into the polishing machine. This existing method is not only cumbersome and inefficient, but also prone to causing minor scratches due to the difficulty of the steel wire passing through the groove, affecting the product's appearance and yield. Second, due to the short lifespan and frequent replacement of consumables such as steel wire and brushes, the existing solution is not conducive to the subsequent maintenance of the mechanism, resulting in high maintenance costs. Third, due to the low production efficiency of traditional processes, it is difficult to meet the rapidly growing market demand for products such as smartwatches, and large-scale mass production is impossible, which has obvious limitations. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide an open watch strap groove polishing mechanism, which aims to improve its polishing efficiency and ease of operation and subsequent maintenance through optimized structural design, so as to meet the actual needs of industrial production.

[0004] To address this issue, this utility model provides an open-type watch strap groove polishing mechanism, comprising: a mechanism body, a drive wheel assembly, a driven wheel assembly, a tension wheel assembly, a polishing rope, and a product fixing assembly. The drive wheel assembly, driven wheel assembly, and tension wheel assembly are respectively disposed on the mechanism body, and the tension wheel assembly is disposed between the drive wheel assembly and the driven wheel assembly.

[0006] A further improvement of this utility model is that multiple sets of product fixing components are provided on the L-shaped polishing station, and the number and position of the product fixing components correspond to the number and position of the tensioning wheel components, respectively.

[0007] A further improvement of this utility model is that the drive wheel assembly includes a drive wheel support seat and a drive wheel, the drive wheel being mounted on the main body of the mechanism via the drive wheel support seat and positioned below the tension wheel assembly.

[0008] A further improvement of this utility model is that the driven wheel assembly includes a driven wheel support and a driven wheel, the driven wheel being mounted on the main body of the mechanism via the driven wheel support and positioned above the tension wheel assembly.

[0012] A further improvement of this utility model is that the clamp is a concave clamp, and the concave clamp has grooves on both sides of the recessed part; the fixing member is a locking screw.

[0013] A further improvement of this utility model is that the product fixing component further includes a translation base plate, a motor, a lead screw, and a linear guide rail, with the base plate disposed on the translation base plate; the translation base plate is disposed on the main body of the mechanism via the linear guide rail and is connected to the motor via the lead screw.

[0023] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0024] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, this embodiment provides an open watch strap groove polishing mechanism, including: a mechanism body 17, a drive wheel assembly, a driven wheel assembly, a tension wheel assembly, a polishing rope 11, and a product fixing assembly. The drive wheel assembly, driven wheel assembly, and tension wheel assembly are respectively disposed on the mechanism body 17, and the tension wheel assembly is disposed between the drive wheel assembly and the driven wheel assembly. The polishing rope 11 is connected to the drive wheel assembly, driven wheel assembly, and tension wheel assembly respectively. The product fixing assembly is disposed on the mechanism body 17 and is disposed on the side of the tension wheel assembly.

[0025] In this embodiment, a drive wheel assembly, a driven wheel assembly, and a tension wheel assembly are provided on the main body 17 of the mechanism. The tension wheel assembly is located between the drive wheel assembly and the driven wheel assembly. The polishing rope 11 is connected to the drive wheel assembly, the driven wheel assembly, and the tension wheel assembly respectively, so that polishing can be achieved through the drive wheel assembly, the driven wheel assembly, and the polishing rope 11. That is, the polishing rope 11 is driven to rotate within the product groove, and the tension wheel assembly assists in controlling the tension of the polishing rope 11. The product fixing assembly is provided on the main body 17 of the mechanism and is located on the side of the tension wheel assembly, which facilitates quick fixing and replacement of the product. This embodiment has a reasonable and efficient overall structure. The optimized structural design effectively improves polishing efficiency and the ease of operation and subsequent maintenance, meeting the actual needs of industrial production.

[0026] like Figure 1As shown, preferably, the main body 17 of the mechanism in this embodiment is provided with an L-shaped polishing station. The driving wheel assembly, driven wheel assembly, and tension wheel assembly are located on the side of the L-shaped polishing station, and the product fixing assembly is located at the bottom of the L-shaped polishing station. This allows for efficient use of the space in the L-shaped polishing station, enabling the installation of multiple sets of simultaneously polishing structures. More preferably, the L-shaped polishing station in this embodiment is provided with multiple sets of product fixing assemblies. The number and position of the product fixing assemblies correspond to the number and position of the tension wheel assemblies, respectively. This allows for simultaneous polishing of multiple products, improving work efficiency.

[0027] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the drive wheel assembly in this embodiment preferably includes a drive wheel support 1 and a drive wheel 2. The drive wheel 2 is mounted on the main body 17 of the mechanism via the drive wheel support 1 and is positioned below the tension wheel assembly. In this embodiment, the drive wheel 2 can be driven by a drive motor, which can be located inside the main body 17. This motor-driven drive wheel structure can directly utilize existing technology and therefore will not be described further. It is worth noting that the drive wheel 2 is positioned below the tension wheel assembly in this embodiment because it requires a drive motor and other supporting structures. Positioning it below lowers the center of gravity of the equipment, ensuring the stability of the polishing mechanism.

[0028] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the driven wheel assembly in this embodiment preferably includes a driven wheel support 3 and a driven wheel 4. The driven wheel 4 is mounted on the main body 17 of the mechanism via the driven wheel support 3 and is positioned above the tension wheel assembly. Preferably, the driven wheel 4 and the driven wheel support 3 are detachably connected in this embodiment. It is worth noting that, on the one hand, the detachable structural design allows for easy removal of the polishing rope 11 by simply loosening the driven wheel 4 from the driven wheel assembly (i.e., the driven end), making the replacement and removal of consumables simpler and facilitating later maintenance. On the other hand, the driven wheel 4's position above the tension wheel assembly also better complements the aforementioned detachable structure, providing operational space for the replacement and removal of consumables.

[0029] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the tensioning wheel assembly in this embodiment includes a tensioning wheel mounting plate 5 and tensioning wheels 6, which are respectively disposed at the bottom and top of the tensioning wheel mounting plate 5. That is, the number of tensioning wheels 6 is preferably two, the tensioning wheel mounting plate 5 is preferably a concave mounting plate, and the positions of the clamps 8, pressure plates 9 and fixing members 10 of the product fixing assembly correspond to the concave position between the two tensioning wheels 6, so as to more reliably assist the polishing rope 11 in tensioning and polishing.

[0030] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the product fixing assembly in this embodiment preferably includes a fixing support 7, a clamp 8, a pressure plate 9, a fixing element 10, and a base 12. The clamp 8 is mounted on the base 12 via the fixing support 7, and the base 12 is mounted on the main body 17 of the mechanism. The pressure plate 9 is connected to the clamp 8 via the fixing element 10. The clamp 8 and the pressure plate 9 are positioned between two tensioning wheels 6. The clamp 8, also called a cover plate, is used to cooperate with the pressure plate 9 and the fixing element 10 to fix the product to be polished. The clamp 8 is fixed to the fixing support 7, and the fixing support 7 is fixed to the base 12. The product is pressed onto the clamp 8 by the fixing element 10 (such as a locking screw) on the pressure plate 9. Product loading and slot changing only require disassembling the fixing element 10 (such as a locking screw) on the pressure plate 9, making replacement quick and easy.

[0031] More preferably, such as Figure 6 As shown, the clamp 8 in this embodiment is a concave clamp, and the concave clamp has grooves 801 on both sides of the concave part, so that the reciprocating linear motion polishing rope 11 will not come into contact with the clamp 8 during product polishing; the fixing member 10 is a locking screw.

[0032] The product fixing assembly described in this embodiment also includes a translation base plate 13, a motor 14, a lead screw 15, and a linear guide rail 16. The base 12 is mounted on the translation base plate 13. The translation base plate 13 is mounted on the main body 17 of the mechanism via the linear guide rail 16 and is connected to the motor 14 via the lead screw 15. In this embodiment, the cooperation of the motor 14, lead screw 15, and linear guide rail 16 allows the translation base plate 13 to move along the linear guide rail 16 to adapt to the polishing requirements of the product and provide a better foundation for product fixing and replacement. Simultaneously, the translation base plate 13 improves the sealing performance of the mechanism, effectively isolating polishing fluid and dust during operation, thus reducing the failure rate of the mechanism.

[0033] The specific embodiments described above are preferred embodiments of this utility model, and are not intended to limit the specific scope of this utility model. The scope of this utility model includes, but is not limited to, these specific embodiments. All equivalent changes made in accordance with the shape and structure of this utility model are within the protection scope of this utility model.
