[0002] A watch blank is the preform before it is made into a watch case. After a series of processing steps, the watch blank is cleaned and then dried. The dried watch blank is placed in a well-ventilated storage box, ready for shipment and subsequent use in watch assembly. However, on existing production lines, watch blanks are pressed and stacked together in the box, making it difficult to meet the conditions for keeping them clean and dry. This easily leads to dirt and damage, affecting the yield rate of watch blanks and increasing unnecessary rework costs.
[0003] To improve the current situation, it is necessary to propose new technical solutions. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a ventilated storage box for watch blanks to solve the above problems.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] This utility model provides a ventilated storage box for watch blanks, which includes an outer wall of the box and multiple watch blank placement cavities. The multiple watch blank placement cavities are arranged in an array structure, and the outer wall of the box is set around the four sides of the array structure formed by the watch blank placement cavities.
[0007] The watch blank placement cavity has openings at the top and bottom, and U-shaped surfaces formed by pick-and-place clearance grooves on the front and rear sides. The chamber of the watch blank placement cavity is used to store the watch blank. The inner wall of the chamber extends from its front side to its rear side to form a support column. There are two support columns, which are symmetrically arranged at the left and right ends of the pick-and-place clearance grooves. The two support columns are used to cooperate with each other to support and fix the watch blank placed in the chamber.
[0008] Preferably, the support column is cylindrical, and the height of the center of the end face of the support column is above the lowest point of the pick-up and put-out clearance groove.
[0009] Preferably, the outer wall of the box includes four walls, which are connected end to end to enclose a rectangular prism-shaped accommodating space.
[0010] Preferably, the outer walls of the box on the front and rear sides are lower than the placement clearance groove, and the outer walls of the box on the left and right sides are higher than the blank placed in the cavity.
[0011] Preferably, the outer wall of the box has through holes on the front and rear sides, and a pick-and-place tool rod is inserted into the through holes. The pick-and-place tool rod is used to lift the blank in the box by passing through the pick-and-place clearance slot in the same row.
[0012] Preferably, the outer wall of the box is provided with stacking limiting posts on the top surface of the left and right side walls, and stacking limiting holes matching the size of the stacking limiting posts are opened at corresponding positions on the bottom surface of the left and right side walls.
[0013] Preferably, the outer wall of the box has handle holes on the left and right sides.
[0014] Preferably, the inner ring opening of the preform in the cavity faces the column direction of the preform placement cavity, and the arrangement direction of the support columns is parallel to the transverse direction of the preform placement cavity.

[0026] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Examples of these preferred embodiments are illustrated in the drawings. The embodiments of this utility model shown in and described with reference to the drawings are merely exemplary, and this utility model is not limited to these embodiments.
[0027] It should also be noted that, in order to avoid obscuring the present invention with unnecessary details, only the structures and / or processing steps closely related to the solution according to the present invention are shown in the accompanying drawings, while other details that are not closely related are omitted.
[0028] Reference Figure 1 As shown, this utility model embodiment provides a ventilated storage box for a watch blank 301, characterized in that it includes an outer wall 1 and multiple watch blank placement cavities 2, the multiple watch blank placement cavities 2 being arranged in an array structure, and the outer wall 1 surrounding the sides of the array structure formed by the watch blank placement cavities 2.
[0029] Among them, combined Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the top and bottom of the watch blank placement cavity 2 are open, and the front and rear sides are provided with pick-up and placement clearance grooves 201 to form a U-shaped surface. The chamber 20 of the watch blank placement cavity 2 is used to store the watch blank 301. The inner wall of the chamber 20 extends from its front side to its rear side to form a support column 21. There are two support columns 21, which are symmetrically arranged at the left and right ends of the pick-up and placement clearance grooves 201. The two support columns 21 are used to cooperate with each other to support and fix the watch blank 301 placed in the chamber 20.
[0030] The aforementioned ventilated storage box for the watch blank 301, designed for its annular structure, uses a support column 21 extending from the front to the rear side of the inner wall of the chamber 20 to support the watch blank 301. The top and bottom of the watch blank placement cavity 2 are open, and the front and rear sides have loading and unloading grooves 201 forming a U-shaped surface. This simple structure with a small area achieves stable securing while maintaining good ventilation within the watch blank placement cavity 2, keeping the watch blank 301 clean and dry. Furthermore, the watch blank placement cavities 2 are independently spaced to each other, preventing the finished watch blanks 301 from colliding and scratching each other during transportation, thus ensuring the yield rate of the watch blanks 301 and avoiding increased rework costs. In addition, this ventilated storage box for the watch blank 301 has the advantages of simple structure, low manufacturing cost, and can be mass-produced.
[0031] For example, the support column 21 is cylindrical, and the height of the center of the end face of the support column 21 is above the lowest point of the pick-up and put-out clearance groove 201, so that the support column 21 fits the structure of the target surface blank 301, reduces the friction between them, and fits the outer peripheral arc surface structure of the surface blank 301 to the maximum extent.
[0032] Specifically, the outer wall 1 of the box includes four walls 11, which are connected end to end to enclose a rectangular prism-shaped storage space. The rectangular prism structure is relatively stable and suitable for stacking.
[0033] The outer wall 1 of the box body is lower than the loading and unloading clearance groove 201 on the front and rear sides to reduce the obstruction of the faceplate 301 and increase the ventilation area of the faceplate 301. The outer wall 1 of the box body is higher than the faceplate 301 placed in the cavity 20 to ensure structural strength and make the faceplate 301 stable.
[0034] like Figure 4 As shown, the outer wall 1 of the box has through holes 110 on the front and rear walls 11. A pick-and-place tool rod 111 is inserted into the through holes 110. The pick-and-place tool rod 111 includes a rod that extends linearly from the through hole 110 on the front wall 11 and is inserted into the through hole 110 on the rear wall 11. When it is necessary to remove the watch blank 301 in the watch blank placement cavity 2, the operator can remove the pick-and-place tool rod 111 from the through holes 110 on the front and rear walls 11, so that the pick-and-place tool rod 111 can be used to pass through the pick-and-place clearance groove 201 in the same row to lift the watch blank 301, so as to quickly remove multiple watch blanks 301 and improve work efficiency.
[0035] like Figure 5As shown, the outer wall 1 of the box has stacking limiting posts 12 on the top surface of the left and right side walls 11, and stacking limiting holes matching the size of the stacking limiting posts 12 are opened at corresponding positions on the bottom surface of the left and right side walls 11. Thus, multiple ventilation storage boxes of the watch blanks 301 can be stacked one by one by inserting the stacking limiting post 12 of one ventilation storage box into the stacking limiting hole of another ventilation storage box, thereby maximizing the space utilization of the ventilation storage boxes and increasing the overall capacity of the watch blanks 301. The stacking limiting posts 12, located at the high-strength corners where the walls 11 meet, make the stacking structure more stable, which is beneficial for the storage and transportation of a large number of watch blanks 301.
[0036] To facilitate the handling of the ventilated storage box, handle holes 101 are provided on the left and right side walls 11 of the outer wall 1 of the box.
[0037] Specifically, the inner ring opening of the preform 301 in the chamber 20 faces the column direction of the preform placement cavity 2, and the arrangement direction of the support column 21 is parallel to the transverse direction of the preform placement cavity 2.
