Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of watch manufacturing technology, and in particular to a cleaning basket for watch blanks. Background Technology

[0002] A watch blank is a rough blank before it can be made into a watch case. The blank needs to undergo various processing steps to become the finished watch case, such as punching, pressing, and drilling using a stamping machine. Therefore, the watch blank needs to be thoroughly cleaned before the tempering process to remove any residual dirt from its surface after processing. The ultrasonic cleaning method commonly used in the watchmaking industry involves placing the watch blank in a cleaning basket, then sequentially placing the entire basket of blanks into multiple cleaning tanks of the ultrasonic cleaning equipment for separate cleaning. These tanks include a rough cleaning tank, a fine cleaning tank, a clean water tank, a rinsing tank, and a hot water tank. After cleaning, the cleaning basket is removed from the tanks, and the water droplets on the watch blanks are drained. Then, workers use wire hooks to retrieve the strings of watch blanks from the cleaning basket and lay them in rows on the conveyor belt of the tempering furnace. However, the blanks in the cleaning basket are usually piled up randomly. It is inconvenient for operators to take out the blanks one by one from the cleaning basket and place them on the conveyor belt of the tempering furnace. The work efficiency is low, the operation skill requirement is high, and it is not conducive to the batch processing of blanks. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a cleaning basket for the preform to solve the above problems.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] This utility model provides a cleaning basket for watch blanks, which includes a basket body, a basket bottom, a watch blank placement rod, a cover plate, and a base support.

[0006] The basket bottom is connected to the bottom of the basket body. The basket bottom includes multiple horizontal and vertical bars, which are perpendicularly and intersecting each other to form a matrix of perforated mesh holes. The watch blank placement rod includes a rod body for inserting the watch blank and a limiting baffle connected to the rod body. The bottom end of the rod body can pass through the perforated mesh holes to be inserted into the basket bottom and stand upright. The limiting baffle extends radially outward along the rod body and abuts against the basket bottom and the watch blank respectively, preventing the rod body and the watch blank above the limiting baffle from passing through the perforated mesh holes. The cover plate is placed on top of the basket body to close the basket body and abut against the top of the rod body. The base is located below the basket bottom, with a central opening to allow the perforated mesh holes to be exposed. The base supports the four edges of the basket bottom, and the height of the base is greater than the height of the rod body passing through the perforated mesh holes.

[0007] Preferably, the number of limiting baffles is four, and the four limiting baffles are arranged in a cross shape around the side of the rod.

[0008] Preferably, the orthographic projection of the limiting baffle on the bottom of the basket extends beyond the range of the hollow mesh on the bottom of the basket.

[0009] Preferably, the cover plate has multiple perforated mesh holes, and the radial length of the top end of the rod is greater than the diameter of the perforated mesh holes.

[0010] Preferably, the basket bottom has a frame edge on its four sides, and the frame edge has threaded holes. The cover plate is fixed to the frame edge by hand-tightening screws provided with corresponding threaded holes.

[0011] Preferably, the basket body has multiple hollow mesh holes.

[0012] Preferably, the four edges of the basket body form a rectangular prism-shaped receiving space, and lifting handles are provided on two opposite sides of the basket body.

[0013] The main technical effects achieved by this utility model are as follows:

[0014] Based on the aforementioned cleaning basket for the watch blanks, watch blanks are placed through perforated mesh holes at the bottom of the basket by inserting watch blank placement rods. Limiting baffles on the placement rods prevent the rods and watch blanks above them from passing through the mesh holes. A cover plate seals the basket and abuts the top of the rods, ensuring the watch blanks remain stacked in a string within the cleaning basket due to the limiting effect of the placement rods. This orderly placement allows operators to remove the watch blanks from each placement rod in strings after cleaning and drying, quickly placing them onto the conveyor belt of the tempering furnace. This avoids the need to remove watch blanks one by one from the cleaning basket during loading, ensuring efficient loading. During cleaning and draining, the strings of watch blanks can only move axially along the rods, reducing the probability of collision and scratching damage compared to randomly stacked watch blanks. When the cleaning basket is placed on its side, the watch blanks are suspended horizontally on the placement rods, making it easier to drain the liquid from the watch blanks.

[0024] 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.

[0025] 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 of great importance are omitted. Figure 3 The cover plate 4 is omitted to demonstrate the structure of the basket body 1 below.

[0026] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this utility model embodiment provides a cleaning basket for a watch face blank, which includes a basket body 1, a basket bottom 2, a watch face blank placement rod 3, a cover plate 4, and a base support 5.

[0027] The basket bottom 2 is connected to the bottom of the basket body 1. The basket bottom 2 includes multiple horizontal bars 21 and multiple vertical bars 22. The horizontal bars 21 and vertical bars 22 are connected perpendicularly to each other, so that multiple basket bottom perforated mesh holes 20 are formed on the basket bottom 2 in a matrix arrangement.

[0028] The watch blank placement rod 3 includes a rod body 31 for inserting the watch blank 300 and a limiting baffle 32 connected to the rod body 31. The watch blank 300 has an opening in the middle for mounting the watch face. The rod body 31 can be inserted through the opening and fitted onto the rod body 31. The bottom end of the rod body 31 can pass through the hollow mesh 20 of the basket bottom to be inserted into the basket bottom 2 and stand upright. The limiting baffle 32 extends outward along the radial direction of the rod body 31. The limiting baffle 32 is used to abut against the basket bottom 2 and the watch blank 300 respectively, preventing the rod body 31 and the watch blank 300 above the limiting baffle 32 from passing through the hollow mesh 20 of the basket bottom. The limiting baffle 32 abuts against the horizontal bar 21 or the vertical bar 22 of the basket bottom 2, which serves to support the upright position of the rod body 31.

[0029] The cover plate 4 is placed on the top of the basket body 1 to close the basket body 1 and abut against the top of the rod 31. The cover plate 4 cooperates with the bottom of the basket 2 to clamp the rod 31 above the limiting baffle 32 between the cover plate 4 and the bottom of the basket 2.

[0030] The base 5 is located below the basket bottom 2. The central opening of the base 5 allows each basket bottom perforated mesh 20 to be exposed, so that the cleaning liquid can flow in and out from the central opening of the base 5. The base 5 supports the four edges of the basket bottom 2. The height of the base 5 is greater than the height of the rod 31 passing through the basket bottom perforated mesh 20. When the cleaning basket is placed on a flat surface, the part of the rod 31 passing through the basket bottom perforated mesh 20 is prevented from touching the flat surface.

[0031] The method of using the above-mentioned watch blank cleaning basket is as follows: Watch blanks 300 are threaded through the watch blank placement rods 3, which are inserted vertically into the perforated mesh 20 at the bottom of the basket. The watch blanks 300 can be stacked in a string on the placement rods 3. After all the placement rods 3 containing the watch blanks 300 to be cleaned are inserted into the bottom 2 of the basket, the cover plate 4 is closed, and the cleaning basket is placed into the tank of the cleaning equipment for cleaning. After cleaning, the cleaning basket is removed from the tank, and the liquid on the watch blanks 300 is drained. (Refer to...) Figure 3 As shown, the washing basket can be placed on its side, allowing the watch prep cells 300 to be hung horizontally while remaining in a row, making them easier to drain. The watch prep cells are kept in a stacked state by the watch prep cell placement rod 3, reducing the probability of damage from collisions and scratches. Once the watch prep cells 300 are sufficiently dry... Figure 1 As shown, by opening the cover plate 4, the operator can hold the top of the blank placement rod 3 and pull it out from the perforated mesh 20 at the bottom of the basket. Then, the blanks 300 on the entire blank placement rod 3 can be removed together and laid on the conveyor belt of the tempering furnace. This is equivalent to maintaining a regular placement state during the cleaning and tempering process, realizing rapid batch feeding during tempering, without having to take out the blanks one by one from the cleaning basket, which helps to improve work efficiency.

[0032] In this embodiment, there are four limiting baffles 32. The four limiting baffles 32 are arranged in a cross shape around the side of the rod 31, matching the direction of the bottom horizontal bar 21 and the bottom vertical bar 22, adapting to the circular opening structure of the watch blank 300, and conveniently blocking the watch blank 300 and the bottom of the basket 2.

[0033] Specifically, the orthographic projection of the limiting baffle 32 on the bottom of the basket 2 extends beyond the range of the hollow mesh 20 of the bottom of the basket, that is, the length of a single limiting baffle 32 is greater than the diameter of the hollow mesh 20 of the bottom of the basket, ensuring that the rod 31 above the limiting baffle 32 cannot pass through the hollow mesh 20 of the bottom of the basket, and the distance between the farthest outward extension of the limiting baffle 32 and the other end of the rod 31 on the same straight line is greater than the opening length of the watch blank 300, ensuring that the watch blank 300 cannot be removed from the rod 31.

[0034] The cover plate 4 has multiple perforated mesh holes 40. The radial length of the top end of the rod 31 is greater than the diameter of the perforated mesh holes 40, allowing cleaning fluid to pass through the cover plate 4 while preventing the rod 31 from passing through the perforated mesh holes 40. Similarly, the perforated mesh holes 40 include multiple horizontal and vertical strips. The horizontal strips and vertical strips are perpendicularly intersected to form the perforated mesh holes 40. Likewise, the basket body 1 has multiple perforated mesh holes 10. The horizontal strips 21 and vertical strips 22 can be welded together to achieve an interlocking fixation.

[0035] Furthermore, the basket bottom 2 has a frame edge 23 around its perimeter, and the frame edge 23 has threaded holes. The cover plate 4 is fixed to the frame edge 23 by a hand screw 41 through the corresponding threaded holes, which facilitates the locking and removal of the cover plate 4.

[0036] Specifically, the four edges of the basket body 1 form a rectangular prism-shaped storage space, and two opposite sides of the basket body 1 are respectively provided with lifting handles 11 to facilitate lifting the washing basket.
