Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of jewelry technology, specifically to a jewelry ornament and a gemstone setting device. Background Technology

[0002] Gemstone setting is a traditional craft that combines gemstones with precious metals to create works of art. It aims to enhance the beauty of gemstones and ensure their secure fit through a combination of techniques. Core methods include prong setting, bezel setting, pave setting, and channel setting, with the appropriate technique chosen based on the gemstone's properties and design requirements.

[0003] Among them, prong setting is the most common gemstone setting technique, in which metal prongs tightly enclose the gemstone, such as the classic "four-prong setting" and "six-prong setting". During the gemstone setting process, the craftsman carefully bends multiple metal prongs to enclose the gemstone using tweezers or special tools. This technique requires that the metal prongs be of the same size, evenly spaced, and that the table of the gemstone be level and not tilted.

[0004] However, during the gem setting process, the force and positional accuracy of the bending of the metal prongs depend on the craftsman's experience. Therefore, it is difficult to ensure that the force and bending degree of each metal prong are uniform, resulting in a low yield rate, high labor intensity, low production efficiency, and inability to meet the needs of mass production. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology, this utility model provides a jewelry and gemstone setting device that can automatically set multiple gemstones on a metal base, reduce labor intensity, greatly improve production efficiency, and at the same time, ensure that the force applied to each prong is uniform and consistent, avoiding damage to the gemstones.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is:

[0007] A piece of jewelry includes a metal base and a gemstone set on the metal base. The metal base has a receiving groove and a plurality of prongs are provided on the top of the metal base. The plurality of prongs are respectively located at the edge of the receiving groove. The receiving groove is used to receive the gemstone, and the plurality of prongs are used to enclose the gemstone.

[0008] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the upper part of the gemstone is frustum-shaped, the waist of the gemstone is cylindrical, and the lower part of the gemstone is conical.

[0009] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the receiving groove is a conical groove, and the plurality of the inserts are distributed in a circular array along the center of the receiving groove.

[0010] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the top outer side of the insert has a bevel.

[0011] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the edge of the receiving groove is provided with four inserts.

[0012] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the side of the insert facing the receiving groove is an arc surface, and the side of the insert facing away from the receiving groove is a right-angle structure, with a chamfer at the top of the right-angle structure.

[0013] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the number of the receiving slots is multiple.

[0014] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the metal base is a cuboid structure, and a plurality of the receiving slots are arranged sequentially at intervals along the length direction of the metal base.

[0015] A gemstone setting apparatus for processing the aforementioned jewelry includes a frame, a movable slide, a clamp, a pressure block, a lifting seat, and a drive unit. The lifting seat is located above the movable slide, the clamp is disposed on the top of the movable slide and is used to clamp the metal base, the pressure block is disposed at the bottom of the lifting seat, the drive unit is used to drive the lifting seat to rise or fall, and the pressure block is used to close the plurality of setting claws disposed on the edge of the receiving groove.

[0016] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the bottom of the pressure block is provided with a truncated quadrangular groove, and the inclined surface of the truncated quadrangular groove cooperates with the inclined surface of the insert.

[0017] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model provides a jewelry ornament and gemstone setting device. When setting gemstones, firstly, a metal base is clamped onto a fixture, and multiple gemstones are placed on multiple receiving slots on the metal base. Then, a movable slide moves the metal base so that one of the gemstones on the metal base aligns with the pressure block. Next, a drive unit drives the lifting seat and the pressure block to descend together. The truncated pyramidal groove at the bottom of the pressure block covers the tops of the four corresponding prongs. At the same time, the four inclined surfaces of the truncated pyramidal groove contact the inclined surfaces of the four prongs. The drive unit drives the lifting seat and the pressure block to continue descending, and the four inclined surfaces of the truncated pyramidal groove contact the tops of the four prongs. The inclined surfaces of the four prongs are pressed together, and each prong is subjected to a vertically downward component force and a horizontally inward radial component force, causing the four prongs to simultaneously converge towards the center and enclose the gemstone. The force is evenly distributed. Then, the drive unit drives the lifting seat and the pressure block to rise together, and the moving slide moves the metal base horizontally, so that the adjacent gemstone aligns with the pressure block. The above actions are repeated until all the gemstones on the metal base are enclosed by multiple prongs. In this way, multiple gemstones can be automatically set on the metal base, reducing labor intensity and greatly improving production efficiency. At the same time, it can ensure that the force applied to each prong is uniform and consistent, avoiding damage to the gemstones. Attached Figure Description

[0024] The following will clearly and completely describe the concept, specific structure, and technical effects of this utility model in conjunction with embodiments and accompanying drawings, so as to fully understand the purpose, features, and effects of this utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, not all of them. Other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are all within the scope of protection of this utility model. Furthermore, all connections / linkages involved in the patent do not simply refer to direct contact between components, but rather to the ability to form a better connection structure by adding or reducing connecting accessories according to specific implementation conditions. The various technical features in this utility model can be combined interactively without contradicting each other.

[0025] Reference Figures 2 to 4 This utility model provides a jewelry ornament, including a metal base 1 and a gemstone 2 set on the metal base 1. The metal base 1 has a receiving groove 3 and a plurality of prongs 4 are provided on the top of the metal base 1. The plurality of prongs 4 are respectively located on the edge of the receiving groove 3. The receiving groove 3 is used to receive the gemstone 2 and the plurality of prongs 4 are used to wrap the gemstone 2.

[0026] Understandably, when installing gemstone 2, gemstone 2 is first placed on receiving groove 3, and then multiple prongs 4 are bent toward the center of receiving groove 3 respectively. The multiple prongs 4 are brought together toward the center to enclose gemstone 2, so that gemstone 2 is set on metal base 1. Thus, multiple points of fixation can be provided to prevent gemstone 2 from falling off, and gemstones of different sizes can be set.

[0027] Specifically, the upper part of gem 2 is frustum-shaped, the waist of gem 2 is cylindrical, and the lower part of gem 2 is conical.

[0028] Understandably, the frustum-shaped upper part can increase the light-reflecting surface and improve the brilliance of the gemstone 2 when illuminated; the cylindrical waist fits into the inside of the prong 4 to prevent the gemstone 2 from rotating circumferentially; and the conical lower part facilitates automatic centering when inserted into the receiving slot 3.

[0029] Furthermore, the receiving groove 3 is a conical groove, and multiple inserts 4 are arranged in a circular array along the center of the receiving groove 3.

[0030] Understandably, the cylindrical groove can fit with the conical lower part of the gemstone 2, which can distribute the force on the gemstone 2. At the same time, the ring array of prongs 4 can provide a uniform clamping force to prevent the gemstone 2 from tilting or local stress concentration.

[0031] Furthermore, the top outer side of the prong 4 has a bevel. When the prong 4 is bent by an external force, the external force acts on the bevel, so that the prong 4 is subjected to a vertical downward component force and a horizontal inward component force, ensuring that the setting is firm.

[0032] Furthermore, the edge of the receiving groove 3 is provided with four prongs 4, which can fix the gemstone 2 at four points, ensuring stability and avoiding the increased cost caused by too many prongs 4.

[0033] Furthermore, the side of the prong 4 facing the receiving groove 3 is an arc surface, the lower edge of the arc surface coincides with the upper edge of the receiving groove 3, and the side of the prong 4 facing away from the receiving groove 3 is a right-angle structure, with a chamfer at the top of the right-angle structure.

[0034] Understandably, the inner arc surface of the prong 4 matches the cylindrical girdle of the gemstone 2. Simultaneously, when the prong 4 bends inward, the arc surface of the bent portion matches the frustum-shaped upper part of the gemstone 2, thus ensuring pressing precision and preventing damage to the gemstone 2. Furthermore, the right-angled structure of the prong 4 enhances its structural strength, preventing secondary deformation after bending and ensuring a secure setting.

[0035] In some preferred embodiments, there are multiple receiving slots 3, the metal base 1 is a cuboid structure, and multiple receiving slots 3 are arranged sequentially at intervals along the length of the metal base 1, so that multiple gemstones 2 can be inlaid and applied to carriers such as bracelets and necklaces, greatly improving the aesthetics of the jewelry.

[0036] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4An embodiment of this utility model also provides a gemstone setting device for processing the above-mentioned jewelry, including a frame (not shown in the figure), a movable slide (not shown in the figure), a clamp 5, a pressure block 6, a lifting seat 7, and a driving component (not shown in the figure) for driving the lifting seat 7 to rise and fall. The lifting seat 7 is located above the movable slide, the clamp 5 is set on the top of the movable slide, the clamp 5 is used to clamp the metal base 1, the pressure block 6 is set at the bottom of the lifting seat 7, and the pressure block 6 is used to close the multiple setting claws 4 set on the edge of the receiving groove 3.

[0037] Specifically, the bottom of the pressure block 6 is provided with a truncated quadrangular groove 8, and the inclined surface on the truncated quadrangular groove 8 cooperates with the inclined surface of the insert 4.

[0038] Understandably, when setting gemstone 2, the metal base 1 is first clamped onto the fixture 5, and multiple gemstones 2 are placed on the multiple receiving slots 3 on the metal base 1. Then, the moving slide moves the metal base 1 so that one of the gemstones 2 on the metal base 1 aligns with the pressure block 6. Next, the driving component drives the lifting seat 7 and the pressure block 6 to descend together. The truncated pyramidal groove 8 at the bottom of the pressure block 6 covers the top of the four corresponding prongs 4. At the same time, the four inclined surfaces of the truncated pyramidal groove 8 contact the inclined surfaces of the four prongs 4 respectively. The driving component drives the lifting seat 7 and the pressure block 6 to continue descending, and the four inclined surfaces of the truncated pyramidal groove 8 simultaneously press against the inclined surfaces of the four prongs 4. The four prongs 4 are subjected to a vertically downward component force and a horizontally inward radial component force, causing the four prongs 4 to simultaneously converge towards the center and enclose the gemstone 2. The force is evenly distributed. Then, the drive unit drives the lifting seat 7 and the pressure block 6 to rise together. The moving slide moves the metal base 1 horizontally, so that another adjacent gemstone 2 corresponds to the pressure block 6. The above actions are repeated until all the gemstones 2 on the metal base are enclosed by multiple prongs 4. Thus, multiple gemstones 2 can be automatically set on the metal base 1, reducing labor intensity and greatly improving production efficiency. At the same time, it can ensure that the force applied by each prong 4 is uniform and consistent, avoiding damage to the gemstones 2.
