Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of jewelry technology, and in particular to a separate single piece of jewelry and a chain-like jewelry. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of jewelry design and manufacturing, the structural design and assembly methods of jewelry have always been a key focus of industry research in order to meet consumers' demands for personalized and diversified jewelry. Currently, common single-piece jewelry structures often use methods such as integral casting, welding, or adhesive bonding to connect the various components. For example, in a single piece of jewelry that includes a setting and a setting body, the setting body is usually fixed to the setting body through welding, or it is directly molded into the setting body structure as a single piece.

[0003] However, the welded or one-piece structure, where the setting and the setting are fixedly connected, prevents the flexible replacement of settings with different styles, materials, or decorative effects to suit different needs. This greatly limits the personalized matching and functional expansion of jewelry. If consumers want to change the appearance of their jewelry, they need to replace the entire piece, increasing the cost of use. Moreover, connecting multiple pieces often requires additional complex connection structures on the setting or setting, increasing the complexity of the manufacturing process.

[0004] Currently, there are also individual pieces of jewelry on the market, but their settings are one-piece structures. The overall thickness and shape of the one-piece setting must be perfectly matched with the setting groove. If the thickness of the setting needs to be adjusted (such as increasing the number of decorative elements to enhance the three-dimensional effect), the depth of the setting groove needs to be modified at the same time, resulting in poor versatility between the setting and the setting, which increases the cost of mold development and production. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide a separate jewelry piece and a chain-like jewelry piece.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] On one hand, this utility model provides a split jewelry piece, including a setting, a setting body, and a connecting piece. The setting has a through groove in the middle, and a first through hole and a second through hole are provided on two opposite side walls of the setting groove. The setting body is installed in the setting groove and includes a top setting and a bottom setting. The bottom setting is fixed to the bottom of the top setting. The top setting has a through hole corresponding to the positions of the first through hole and the second through hole. The connecting piece passes through the first through hole, the through hole, and the second through hole.

[0008] Furthermore, the bottom insert is bonded or snapped to the top insert.

[0009] Furthermore, the bottom insert has a first protrusion and a second protrusion arranged opposite to each other on the side near the top insert. Both the first protrusion and the second protrusion are arranged close to the edge of the bottom insert. The top insert has an embedding portion on the side near the bottom insert, and the embedding portion is located in the space between the first protrusion and the second protrusion.

[0010] Furthermore, the top insert has a top surface, the bottom insert has a bottom surface, and both the top surface and the bottom surface protrude beyond the insert base.

[0011] Furthermore, the connector has an elongated shape, and a first connecting hole and a second connecting hole are respectively provided near its two ends.

[0012] Furthermore, at least a portion of both the first connecting hole and the second connecting hole extends beyond the outside of the insert.

[0013] Furthermore, the connector includes a first connecting portion, a second connecting portion, and an intermediate portion disposed between the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion. The width of the intermediate portion is smaller than the width of the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion, and the length of the intermediate portion is greater than the length of the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion. The first connecting hole is disposed in the first connecting portion, and the second connecting hole is disposed in the second connecting portion.

[0014] Furthermore, the outer surface of the mounting base is provided with a weight-reducing groove.

[0015] Furthermore, the weight-reducing groove is arranged circumferentially around the outer surface of the insert.

[0016] On the other hand, this utility model also provides a chain-like jewelry, including a chain-like body, a chain buckle and chain links. The chain buckle is located at one end of the chain-like body, and the chain links are located at the other end of the chain-like body. The chain buckle and the chain links are detachably connected. The chain-like body includes a plurality of separate jewelry units as described above, which are connected together in series. Adjacent two separate jewelry units are connected by a connecting ring.

[0017] The advantages of this utility model compared to the prior art are as follows: A split-type jewelry piece includes a setting base, a setting body, and a connecting piece. The setting base has a through-groove in the middle, and a first through hole and a second through hole are provided on two opposite side walls of the setting groove. The setting body is installed in the setting groove and includes a top setting and a bottom setting. The bottom setting is fixed to the bottom of the top setting. The top setting has through holes corresponding to the positions of the first and second through holes. The connecting piece passes through the first through hole, the through hole, and the second through hole. This utility model, by designing the setting body as a split structure of a top setting and a bottom setting, allows for flexible adjustment of the thickness and shape of the top and bottom setting without simultaneously modifying the dimensions of the setting base and setting groove. This improves the adaptability of the setting body and the setting base, reduces mold development and production costs, and meets the personalized design needs of jewelry.

Detailed Implementation

[0025] The technical solution of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to specific embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. In the description of this utility model, "a plurality of" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0028] In this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "joining," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components, unless otherwise explicitly limited.

[0031] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, this utility model embodiment provides a split jewelry piece, including a setting 1, a setting body 2, and a connecting piece 3. The setting 1 has a through groove in the middle, and a first through hole 11 and a second through hole are provided on the two opposite side walls of the setting groove. The setting body 2 is installed in the setting groove and includes a top setting 21 and a bottom setting 22. The bottom setting 22 is fixed to the bottom of the top setting 21. The top setting 21 has a through hole corresponding to the position of the first through hole 11 and the second through hole. The connecting piece 3 passes through the first through hole 11, the through hole, and the second through hole.

[0032] The mounting base 1 can be integrally formed from a metal material (such as silver, copper, or alloy). A through-groove is provided in its central position, the shape of which matches the shape of the mounting body 2. In this embodiment, the mounting groove is a rectangular groove with a depth of 2 / 3 of the height of the mounting base 1 to ensure the stability of the mounting body 2 after installation. A first through hole 11 and a second through hole are respectively formed on the two opposite side walls of the mounting groove (i.e., the left side wall and the right side wall). The axes of the two holes are collinear and have the same diameter. The inner walls of the holes can be smoothed to avoid wear during the subsequent insertion of the connecting piece 3.

[0033] The top insert 21 has a through hole in the horizontal direction corresponding to the position of the first through hole 11 and the second through hole on the side wall of the insert groove. The diameter of the through hole is consistent with the first through hole 11 and the second through hole, and the axis of the through hole is collinear with the axis of the first through hole 11 and the second through hole, so as to ensure that the connector 3 can be smoothly inserted.

[0034] The connector 3 is made of a metal sheet or metal rod with a certain degree of toughness. The connector 3 is inserted into the first through hole 11, the through hole of the insert 2 and the second through hole. The insert 3 is inserted to achieve the detachable fixation of the insert 2 and the base 1.

[0035] By designing the setting 2 as a separate structure of top setting 21 and bottom setting 22, the thickness and shape of the top setting 21 and bottom setting 22 can be flexibly adjusted without simultaneously modifying the setting groove size of the setting base 1. This improves the compatibility between the setting 2 and the setting base 1, reduces mold development and production costs, and meets the personalized design needs of jewelry.

[0036] In one embodiment, the bottom insert 22 is bonded or snapped to the top insert 21.

[0037] Specifically, the adhesive connection uses the bonding force of an adhesive to fix the bottom setting 22 and the top setting 21. The adhesive can be a jewelry industry-specific epoxy adhesive (such as a two-component epoxy adhesive, model E-06AB). The snap-fit ​​connection uses the interlocking of mechanical structures to fix the bottom setting 22 and the top setting 21, offering the advantages of being detachable and reassembleable, making it suitable for settings that require frequent replacement.

[0038] In one embodiment, the bottom insert 22 has a first protrusion 221 and a second protrusion 222 arranged opposite to each other on the side near the top insert 21. The first protrusion 221 and the second protrusion 222 are both arranged near the edge of the bottom insert 22. The top insert 21 has an embedding portion on the side near the bottom insert 22, which is located in the space between the first protrusion 221 and the second protrusion 222.

[0039] The bottom insert 22 has a flat mating surface on the side near the top insert 21 (i.e., the top surface) to ensure a tight fit with the top insert 21; the first protrusion 221 and the second protrusion 222 are integrally formed on this mating surface, and the first protrusion 221 and the second protrusion 222 are arranged opposite to each other and both are close to the edge of the bottom insert 22.

[0040] Both the first protrusion 221 and the second protrusion are crescent-shaped. To reduce frictional resistance during assembly, the outer surfaces of the first protrusion 221 and the second protrusion can be polished.

[0041] The side of the top insert 21 closest to the bottom insert 22 (i.e., the bottom surface) is the mating surface. The flatness and roughness of this mating surface must be consistent with the mating surface of the bottom insert 22 to ensure that there are no obvious gaps after assembly. The insert is integrally formed with this mating surface, and the insert is circular in shape. The top surface of the insert (the end away from the mating surface of the top insert 21) must be flat, and the height direction of the insert must be consistent with the height direction of the top insert 21 to ensure that the insert is evenly stressed when it mates with the protrusion, and to avoid local stress concentration that could lead to structural damage.

[0042] In one embodiment, the top insert 21 has a top surface and the bottom insert 22 has a bottom surface, both of which protrude beyond the base 1. This design ensures that the core decorative area of ​​the insert 2 (typically located on the top and bottom surfaces) is not obscured by the base 1, while also enhancing the three-dimensional visual effect of the insert 2 through the protruding structure, without affecting the assembly stability of the insert 2 and the base 1.

[0043] In one embodiment, the connector 3 has an elongated shape, and a first connecting hole 311 and a second connecting hole 321 are respectively provided near its two ends.

[0044] The first connecting hole 311 and the second connecting hole 321 are symmetrically distributed along the length of the connecting member 3, and the first connecting hole 311 and the second connecting hole 321 are arranged vertically through each other.

[0045] The design of the first connecting hole 311 and the second connecting hole 321 provides a standardized connection interface for connecting multiple individual pieces in series. This eliminates the need for additional complex connection structures on the setting 1 or setting 2, ensuring the overall strength of the jewelry while simplifying assembly and disassembly. Furthermore, the symmetrical distribution of the connecting holes ensures even stress distribution on the connected jewelry pieces, enhancing the stability and lifespan of the overall structure.

[0046] In one embodiment, at least a portion of the first connecting hole 311 and the second connecting hole 321 extend beyond the exterior of the setting 2. This design directly provides operable space for connecting adjacent jewelry pieces. If the connecting holes were completely hidden inside the setting 2, connectors such as the connecting ring 310 would not be able to pass smoothly into the holes, and the sidewalls of the setting 2 would form obstructions, making it difficult for tools and connectors to align with the holes, or even to reach the connecting holes. However, with at least a portion extending beyond the setting 2, the open end of the connecting hole is exposed. Without additional disassembly or adjustment of the setting 2, the connecting ring 310 can be directly inserted into the second connecting hole 321 of the previous piece and the first connecting hole 311 of the next piece. The entire connection process does not require complex tools; only conventional jewelry assembly tools (such as needle-nose pliers) are needed, significantly reducing the assembly difficulty of chain jewelry and improving assembly efficiency.

[0047] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, the connector 3 includes a first connecting portion 31, a second connecting portion 32, and an intermediate portion 33 disposed between the first connecting portion 31 and the second connecting portion 32. The width of the intermediate portion 33 is smaller than the width of the first connecting portion 31 and the second connecting portion 32, and the length of the intermediate portion 33 is greater than the length of the first connecting portion 31 and the second connecting portion 32. A first connecting hole 311 is disposed in the first connecting portion 31, and a second connecting hole 321 is disposed in the second connecting portion 32.

[0048] Specifically, the first connecting part 31 and the second connecting part 32 are located at both ends of the connecting piece 3, and the two are symmetrical in structure. They are mainly used to open the first connecting hole 311 and the second connecting hole 321, and undertake the function of connecting with adjacent jewelry pieces. The middle part 33 is located between the two connecting parts and is the core area where the setting 1 and the setting 2 pass through the connecting piece 3.

[0049] The width of the middle part 33 is smaller than the width of the first connecting part 31 and the second connecting part 32, and the length of the middle part 33 is greater than the length of the first connecting part 31 and the second connecting part 32. This size difference makes the connecting part 3 form a structure that is wide at both ends and narrow in the middle and long in the middle and short at both ends. It can not only fit the space for the insert 1 and the insert 2 to pass through, but also stably support the connecting hole and the external connecting part through the connecting part that is wider at both ends.

[0050] Since the middle part 33 is the key area where the through hole of the connecting part 3 passes through the setting seat 1, the setting groove and the setting body 2, its width is smaller than that of the first and second connecting parts 32, which can reduce the weight to a certain extent.

[0051] In one embodiment, in order to optimize the weight and user experience of the mounting base 1 while ensuring its structural strength, a weight-reducing groove (not shown in the figure) is provided on the outer surface of the mounting base 1, and the weight-reducing groove is arranged around the outer surface of the mounting base 1 in a circumferential manner.

[0052] Specifically, the weight-reducing groove is set along the height direction of the setting 1. The width and depth of the groove need to be reasonably determined according to the overall size and structural strength requirements of the setting 1, ensuring that the groove is neither too wide or too deep, which would result in insufficient strength of the setting 1, nor too narrow or shallow, which would affect the weight-reducing effect. The weight-reducing groove is located in the middle area of ​​the outer surface of the setting 1. The inner wall of the weight-reducing groove can be treated with a rounded transition to avoid sharp edges on the groove, preventing scratches to the skin or snagging on clothing when wearing the jewelry. The bottom of the weight-reducing groove can be designed as a smooth rounded surface, and the rounded surface is concentric with the outer surface of the setting 1, ensuring that the weight-reducing groove forms a complete ring structure around the outer surface of the setting 1 without any breaks or protrusions. The surface of the groove is polished to maintain the same smoothness as the outer surface of the setting 1, avoiding any roughness in the groove that would affect the overall appearance of the jewelry.

[0053] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this utility model embodiment also provides a chain-like jewelry, including a chain-like body 300, a chain buckle 100 and a chain link 200. The chain buckle 100 is disposed at one end of the chain-like body 300, and the chain link 200 is disposed at the other end of the chain-like body 300. The chain buckle 100 and the chain link 200 are detachably connected. The chain-like body 300 includes a plurality of separate jewelry units as described above that are connected in series. Adjacent two separate jewelry units are connected by a connecting ring 310.

[0054] Specifically, the connecting ring 310 is a circular closed metal ring, the material of which can be the same as the setting 1 of the assembled jewelry unit (such as 925 silver or copper alloy). The inner wall of the connecting ring 310 is smoothed to avoid wear between it and the connecting piece 3 of the jewelry unit after being connected in series. When connecting in series, one end of the connecting ring 310 is inserted into the second connecting hole 321 of the connecting piece 3 of the previous assembled jewelry unit, and the other end is inserted into the first connecting hole 311 of the connecting piece 3 of the next assembled jewelry unit. Then, the open end of the connecting ring 310 is closed with needle-nose pliers (the connecting ring 310 is initially in a semi-open state, and is closed to form a complete ring after being inserted). After closing, the connecting ring 310 has no obvious gaps and can rotate flexibly, ensuring that the two adjacent jewelry units can move relative to each other and preventing the chain body 300 from becoming stiff.

[0055] The clasp 100 is located at one end of the chain-like body 300, and adopts a spring clasp structure. Its material is the same as that of the connecting ring 310. The link 200 is located at the other end of the chain-like body 300, and adopts a circular metal sheet structure. The edge of the metal sheet has multiple evenly distributed small holes. One of the small holes is connected to the last assembled jewelry piece of the chain-like body 300 through the connecting ring 310, and the other small hole can be used to cooperate with the clasp 100.

[0056] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art can easily conceive of various equivalent modifications or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model, and these modifications or substitutions should all be covered within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the scope of the claims.
