Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of jewelry processing technology, and more particularly to a setting for jewelry. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, in the jewelry manufacturing industry, a common practice is to use setting settings to support and secure gemstones and other jewelry pieces. Setting settings are typically installed on carriers such as ring settings, pendant holders, or eyeglass frames. They generally support the jewelry piece through a supporting component and are arranged along the outer perimeter of the jewelry using fixed-shape or bezel settings to clamp and limit the jewelry, ensuring stability and safety during wear. The same setting is usually designed according to the predetermined shape and size of the gemstone and is mostly a fixed, non-adjustable structure.

[0003] However, these types of settings often only fit gemstones of specific sizes. During assembly, workers need to use tools to bend the prongs one by one and correct the position of the gemstones. If necessary, welding or gluing is also used to enhance the fixation. When the carrier is changed or the size or shape of the gemstone changes, it is often necessary to replace the settings with different sizes or structures. This results in many assembly steps, low efficiency, and the reliability of clamping depends on manual experience. Gemstones may still wobble, become off-center, or even fall out, making it difficult to achieve universal adaptation and modular rapid assembly of jewelry of different shapes without changing the settings. Utility Model Content

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to propose a setting for jewelry to address the above problems.

[0005] Embodiments of this application provide a setting for jewelry, used to support jewelry pieces, the setting comprising: The support includes a receiving platform and a support base integrally formed with the receiving platform; At least two sets of elastic clamping arms are provided on the receiving platform. One end of each elastic clamping arm is fixedly connected to the receiving platform, and the other end extends obliquely away from the receiving platform and bends to form a holding part. The holding parts are arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the receiving platform and together form a clamping opening. A receiving cavity is formed between the receiving platform and each of the elastic clamping arms, opening from the receiving platform toward the clamping opening, for receiving jewelry pieces.

[0006] In at least one embodiment of this application, each of the elastic clamping arms has at least two auxiliary clamping pieces in the area near the receiving table on the side facing the receiving table. One end of each of the auxiliary clamping pieces is fixedly connected to the receiving platform. The other end extends along the inclined extension direction of the corresponding elastic clamping arm and into the receiving cavity, and is arranged toward the clamping opening.

[0007] In at least one embodiment of this application, each of the holding portions has a thinning section at one end away from the corresponding elastic clamping arm portion, and the thinning section is a thin-walled structure formed by thinning along the thickness direction of the holding portion.

[0008] In at least one embodiment of this application, each of the retaining portions is provided with an engaging flange, which protrudes toward the receiving cavity and is arranged along the direction surrounding the central axis of the setting base, for forming a snap-fit ​​engagement with the mating structure on the jewelry piece.

[0009] In at least one embodiment of this application, a jewelry piece that mates with the setting is further included. The outer peripheral surface of the jewelry piece is provided with a mating groove that extends in a closed manner around the central axis of the jewelry piece. The mating groove serves as the mating structure, and the engaging flange is embedded in the mating groove.

[0010] In at least one embodiment of this application, the thinned section is machined with a micro-protrusion structure or a corrugated structure on the side facing the receiving cavity, for clamping and fixing the jewelry piece by friction.

[0011] In at least one embodiment of this application, each of the auxiliary clamping pieces is an integrally formed strip-shaped structure with a triangular outline on a cross section perpendicular to the receiving platform. The side closest to the receiving platform forms an attachment edge and is fixedly connected to the receiving platform. The apex opposite to the attachment edge points to the clamping opening and extends into the receiving cavity.

[0012] In at least one embodiment of this application, each of the elastic clamping arms is provided with at least one opening groove on the connecting section connected to the receiving platform. The opening groove extends along the direction away from the receiving platform of the elastic clamping arm and penetrates from the inner side to the outer side of the elastic clamping arm. Each of the opening grooves is arranged at circumferential intervals along the receiving platform.

[0013] In at least one embodiment of this application, the elastic clamping arm portion is in two sets, and the two sets of elastic clamping arm portions are respectively located on opposite sides of the receiving cavity and are symmetrically arranged with respect to the central axis of the mounting base.

[0014] In at least one embodiment of this application, the supporting base, the receiving platform, and each of the elastic clamping arms are an integral structure.

[0015] Implementing a jewelry setting according to this embodiment will have at least the following beneficial effects: The aforementioned jewelry setting consists of a receiving platform and an integrally formed support base, simplifying the structure and facilitating the use of the support base as a unified installation reference. At least two sets of elastic clamping arms, one end fixed to the receiving platform and the other end bent at an angle to form a holding part, are arranged circumferentially to form clamping openings. When a jewelry piece is pressed into the clamping opening, the clamping arms elastically open and then clamp circumferentially after resetting. This allows for the adaptation of jewelry pieces of different sizes and shapes within a certain range without the need for prying claws, welding, or gluing. A receiving cavity open towards the clamping opening is formed between the receiving platform and the elastic clamping arms, guiding the jewelry piece into the setting and providing axial and radial support and restraint. This enables rapid assembly of the jewelry piece without replacing the setting, improving clamping stability and reducing the risk of shaking, eccentricity, and detachment.

Detailed Implementation

[0019] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0020] It should be noted that when a component is considered to be "connected" to another component, it can be directly connected to the other component or may also have an intervening component. When a component is considered to be "placed" on another component, it can be directly placed on the other component or may also have an intervening component. The terms "top," "bottom," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "front," "back," and similar expressions used in this article are for illustrative purposes only.

[0021] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 In this embodiment, a jewelry setting 100 includes a setting 10, which is integrally mounted on a carrier such as a ring setting, pendant holder, or eyeglass frame to support and secure a piece of jewelry 40. The setting 10 includes a support portion 20 and at least two sets of elastic clamping arms 30 disposed on the support portion 20. The support portion 20 includes a receiving platform 21 and a supporting base 22 integrally formed with the receiving platform 21. The receiving platform 21 is configured as a platform structure for directly supporting the jewelry piece 40, and the supporting base 22 is used to connect to an external carrier and serve as an installation reference.

[0022] Specifically, by integrally molding the receiving platform 21 and the supporting base 22, the assembly interface within the supporting part 20 is reduced, avoiding assembly errors caused by welding or screwing. This makes the position of the receiving platform 21 relative to the supporting base 22 more stable, thus maintaining a reliable posture after the jewelry piece 40 is assembled. It is less likely to loosen under wearing and shaking conditions, which helps to improve the structural stability of the setting 100 used for jewelry. It also allows the setting 10 to be easily installed on different ring settings, pendant holders or eyeglass frames with the supporting base 22 as a unified reference, meeting the application needs of various carriers.

[0023] Furthermore, at least two sets of elastic clamping arms 30 are disposed in the peripheral area of ​​the receiving platform 21. One end of each elastic clamping arm 30 is fixedly connected to the receiving platform 21 to form a relatively rigid fixed end, and the other end extends obliquely away from the receiving platform 21 and bends at the free end to form a retaining part 31. With this structure of one end fixed, one end free and extending obliquely in the middle, the elastic clamping arm 30 can generate elastic deformation in the radial or tangential direction when subjected to external force. The retaining part 31 returns to its initial position when the elastic clamping arm 30 rebounds, thereby applying a clamping force to the outer periphery of the jewelry piece 40. The retaining parts 31 are arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the receiving platform 21, and multiple retaining parts 31 together form a clamping opening 32 around the receiving platform 21. The clamping opening 32 is used for pressing the jewelry piece 40 in from above or from the side above. In one specific embodiment, at least two sets of elastic clamping arms 30 are arranged opposite each other, so that the clamping openings 32 form clamping forces on opposite sides in the circumferential direction. Alternatively, three or more sets of elastic clamping arms 30 can be provided to form a surrounding constraint on the jewelry piece 40 in more circumferential directions. This increases the range of adaptability of the setting base 10 to the size and shape of the jewelry piece 40, and enables it to automatically adapt to jewelry pieces 40 of different specifications within a certain tolerance range, reducing the reliance on manual breaking of each prong and fine correction.

[0024] Furthermore, a receiving platform 21 and each elastic clamping arm 30 form a receiving cavity 23, which opens from the receiving platform 21 toward the clamping opening 32, so that the jewelry piece 40 is introduced into the receiving cavity 23 along the opening direction of the clamping opening 32. Specifically, the receiving cavity 23 is vertically supported by the receiving platform 21, and radially limited by multiple sets of elastic clamping arms 30 and their holding parts 31. When the jewelry piece 40 is placed in the receiving cavity 23, its bottom area is supported by the receiving platform 21, and its outer peripheral side is clamped by the holding parts 31. The opening direction of the receiving cavity 23 is aligned with the clamping opening 32, making the assembly path of the jewelry piece 40 a single pressing path, simplifying the worker's operation steps and helping to shorten the assembly time.

[0025] In one specific embodiment, the jewelry setting 100 is first fixed to a carrier such as a ring setting, pendant holder, or eyeglass frame via a support base 22. The support base 22 provides a stable connection interface, preventing the setting 10 from rotating or shifting during wear. Then, the worker aligns the jewelry piece 40 to be installed with the center area of ​​the clamping opening 32, ensuring that the axis of the jewelry piece 40 is substantially coincident with the central axis of the setting 10, and presses the jewelry piece 40 in the direction towards the receiving platform 21. As the outer periphery of the jewelry piece 40 contacts the holding portion 31, the elastic clamping arm portion 30 elastically opens away from the jewelry piece 40 under force, temporarily increasing the effective opening size of the clamping opening 32, thereby allowing the jewelry piece 40 to smoothly pass through the clamping opening 32 into the receiving cavity 23. When the outer periphery of the jewelry piece 40 is fully inserted into the receiving cavity 23 and fits against the receiving platform 21, the external force gradually decreases. The elastic clamping arm 30 rebounds to its initial position under its own elasticity, and the holding part 31 moves closer to the outer periphery of the jewelry piece 40 again, applying a continuous clamping force to the jewelry piece 40. Thus, the jewelry piece 40 is supported from below by the receiving platform 21 and held circumferentially by multiple holding parts 31, achieving stable positioning of the jewelry piece 40 in both the axial and radial directions.

[0026] Furthermore, since the elastic clamping arm 30 has elastic deformation capability, the size of the clamping opening 32 in its natural state can be designed to be slightly smaller than the outer contour size of the jewelry piece 40. This ensures that the elastic clamping arm 30 will inevitably open during the pressing process of the jewelry piece 40. After the jewelry piece 40 is in place, the rebound of the elastic clamping arm 30 provides a continuous pre-tightening force. Through this pre-tightening method, even if there are certain manufacturing tolerances in the actual size or shape of the jewelry piece 40, the elastic clamping arm 30 can still automatically compensate for dimensional deviations and maintain a stable clamping effect. This solves the problem in the prior art that requires repeated bending, correction, and reliance on welding or gluing to obtain stable clamping, reduces the number of assembly steps for workers, and reduces reliance on personal experience.

[0027] In one specific embodiment, the setting 100 for jewelry can be applied to carriers such as rings, pendant holders, or eyeglass frames, and is welded or mechanically connected to the corresponding carrier by a supporting base 22. During wearing or use, the receiving platform 21 provides support for the jewelry piece 40, and the elastic clamping arm 30 and the holding part 31 clamp the outer periphery of the jewelry piece 40 and cooperate with the surrounding structure of the receiving cavity 23 to keep the jewelry piece 40 in a stable position under various carrier shaking and collision conditions, reducing the possibility of eccentricity and falling off.

[0028] It should be noted that, in one specific embodiment, the support base 22 is preferably designed as a standardized installation interface, which can be used with accessory carriers of different materials, such as metal ring settings, titanium alloy frames, polymer sheets, or resin eyeglass frames. A fixing interface for mounting the setting 10 can be pre-set on the surface of the carrier, such as a positioning groove, threaded hole, or magnetic patch structure, so that the setting 10 is reliably fixed to the corresponding carrier by mechanical pressing, threaded connection, or magnetic attraction. When it is necessary to change the accessory or adjust the style, the setting 10 and the jewelry piece 40 it supports can be removed from the original carrier and installed on another carrier without secondary processing of the diamond or accessory substrate. This allows the same pre-set module, consisting of the setting 10 and the jewelry piece 40 it supports, to be used interchangeably with accessories of different materials and types.

[0029] In summary, by integrating the receiving platform 21 and the supporting base 22 in the supporting part 20, structural simplification and stable support are achieved. By arranging at least two sets of elastic clamping arms 30 and their holding parts 31 circumferentially at intervals on the receiving platform 21 to form a clamping opening 32, the press-fit assembly and elastic clamping of the jewelry piece 40 are achieved. By forming a receiving cavity 23 between the receiving platform 21 and the elastic clamping arms 30 that opens toward the clamping opening 32, the introduction, support and multi-directional limiting of the jewelry piece 40 are achieved. The setting 100 for jewelry can be conveniently applied to various carriers such as ring settings, pendant holders and eyeglass frames. It can adapt to jewelry pieces 40 of different sizes and shapes within a certain range without replacing the setting 10, effectively reducing assembly procedures and the risk of detachment.

[0030] In one specific embodiment, each elastic clamping arm 30 is provided with at least two auxiliary clamping pieces 33 in the area facing the receiving platform 21 and close to the receiving platform 21. The auxiliary clamping pieces 33 are arranged at intervals relative to the receiving platform 21. One end of each auxiliary clamping piece 33 is fixedly connected to the receiving platform 21, so that the auxiliary clamping piece 33 forms a stable fulcrum at that end. The other end extends upward along the inclined extension direction of the corresponding elastic clamping arm 30 and extends into the receiving cavity 23, and is arranged in the direction of the clamping opening 32, so that the free end of the auxiliary clamping piece 33 is located below and adjacent to the holding part 31.

[0031] With this arrangement, after the jewelry piece 40 enters the receiving cavity 23, its outer peripheral side can simultaneously form multiple points of contact with the upper holding part 31 and the lower auxiliary clamping piece 33 in the height direction, thereby obtaining additional lateral support in the area close to the receiving platform 21.

[0032] Specifically, the auxiliary clamping piece 33 extends into the receiving cavity 23 along the inclined direction of the elastic clamping arm 30. When the jewelry piece 40 enters along the clamping opening 32, its outer periphery first contacts the auxiliary clamping piece 33. Under the guidance of the inclined surface of the auxiliary clamping piece 33 and the elastic contact action, it gradually approaches the receiving platform 21 and enters the area surrounded by the elastic clamping arm 30. The auxiliary clamping piece 33 provides additional support near the receiving platform 21, increasing the effective support height inside the receiving cavity 23. Even if the jewelry piece 40 is slightly smaller, it can reliably contact the auxiliary clamping piece 33, providing some compensation for jewelry pieces 40 with large size deviations. If the jewelry piece 40 is subjected to vibration or impact during use, the lower auxiliary clamping piece 33 and the upper retaining part 31 together form a multi-point surrounding structure. When the jewelry piece 40 moves away from the receiving platform 21, it needs to overcome the obstruction of both simultaneously, thereby improving its anti-shaking and anti-dropping performance.

[0033] In one specific embodiment, each holding portion 31 is provided with a thinning section 34 at the end away from the corresponding elastic clamping arm portion 30. The thinning section 34 forms a thin-walled structure by locally thinning along the thickness direction of the holding portion 31.

[0034] Specifically, the thinned section 34 is located at one end near the outer periphery of the jewelry piece 40, making this end more prone to elastic bending relative to the rest of the retaining portion 31. When the jewelry piece 40 is pressed into the clamping opening 32 or experiences slight oscillation during use, the thinned section 34 can undergo a certain degree of elastic deformation in advance to buffer the contact impact between the jewelry piece 40 and the retaining portion 31, reducing the direct pressure of the rigid edge on the outer surface of the jewelry piece 40, thereby helping to reduce the risk of indentations or scratches on the jewelry surface.

[0035] Furthermore, the thinning section 34 provides a local elastic stroke in the clamping state, making the clamping force of the holding part 31 on the jewelry piece 40 more compliant and adaptive. Even if there are tolerances in the size of the jewelry piece 40 or slight differences in the shape of the outer periphery, it can be compensated by the deformation of the thinning section 34 to maintain a relatively stable clamping force. This helps to improve the anti-shaking and anti-dislodgement performance after setting and reduce the pressing force required when assembling the jewelry piece 40.

[0036] In one specific embodiment, an engaging flange 35 is integrally formed on the side of the retaining portion 31 facing the receiving cavity 23. The engaging flange 35 protrudes from the inside of the retaining portion 31 toward the receiving cavity 23 and extends circumferentially around the central axis of the setting base 10. It is preferably located in the region near the free end of the retaining portion 31, so that the engaging flanges 35 on the multiple retaining portions 31 are at approximately the same height in the receiving cavity 23, for engaging with the mating structure provided on the outer periphery of the jewelry piece 40.

[0037] When the jewelry piece 40 is pressed in along the clamping opening 32, the mating structure first contacts the engaging flange 35. Under the action of external force, the retaining part 31 is driven to open outward briefly along with the elastic clamping arm part 30, so that the engaging flange 35 passes over the step of the mating structure. After the jewelry piece 40 is pressed to the predetermined position, the elastic clamping arm part 30 rebounds, driving the retaining part 31 to reset, and the engaging flange 35 is then embedded into the corresponding part of the mating structure, forming an axial locking and locking of the jewelry piece 40.

[0038] Thus, based on the radial clamping provided by the elastic clamping arm 30, the engaging flange 35 further restricts the movement of the jewelry piece 40 in the direction away from the receiving platform 21, uniformly limiting the installation depth of the jewelry piece 40 in the receiving cavity 23, and preventing the jewelry piece 40 from shifting or falling out during long-term wear, shaking or impact.

[0039] In one specific embodiment, the setting 100 for jewelry in this application further includes a jewelry piece 40 that cooperates with the setting 10. The jewelry piece 40 preferably has a rotationally symmetrical structure along a central axis, and a mating groove 36 is machined on its outer peripheral surface. The mating groove 36 extends in a closed manner around the central axis of the jewelry piece 40 to form an annular groove structure.

[0040] Furthermore, the setting 10 is preferably made of a single piece of metal, such as karat gold, S925 silver, and other metals suitable for jewelry, in order to obtain high structural strength and good processing precision. On the surface of the setting 10, especially on the receiving platform 21 or its adjacent support 20, there is a pre-set setting groove that matches the shape of the jewelry piece 40. The setting groove can be V-shaped, arc-shaped, or polygonal in cross-section, to fit the bottom or girdle contour of the jewelry piece 40 (e.g., a diamond).

[0041] By pre-setting the setting groove, the jewelry piece 40 can be more accurately positioned and stably supported on the setting base 10 when it is installed, reducing contact indentations and optimizing the force distribution. This helps maintain the spatial posture and light angle of the jewelry piece 40, thus providing a structural basis for improving its ornamental effect.

[0042] It should be noted that during the actual assembly, the opening angle and depth of the setting groove on the setting base 10 can be selected or finely adjusted according to the cut shape and height ratio of the diamond and other jewelry pieces 40, so that the table surface of the jewelry piece 40 remains basically horizontal after being inserted, and the girdle position matches the opening height of the engaging flange 35 and the receiving cavity 23. This optimizes the path of incident and reflected light while ensuring a firm clamping, which is conducive to obtaining greater fire and better viewing effect.

[0043] Furthermore, the surface of the setting 10 adopts a convex structure, and a snap-fit ​​structure is formed by setting an engaging flange 35 and a mating groove 36 on the outer periphery of the jewelry piece 40 (preferably a diamond) to enhance the light-receiving effect and overall brilliance of the jewelry piece 40, especially the diamond.

[0044] It should be noted that the convex structure changes the contact area between the jewelry piece 40 and the setting 10 from a large surface contact to a partial surface contact or near-line contact. Compared with the planar support structure, this reduces the obstruction of incident and reflected light from the bottom of the diamond by the support part 20, and creates a certain gap between the bottom of the diamond and the receiving table 21, which allows ambient light to enter the diamond from more directions and be reflected from the bottom. At the same time, the snap-fit ​​engagement of the engaging flange 35 and the mating groove 36 precisely limits the axial and radial positioning of the jewelry piece 40, allowing the table and girdle of the diamond to maintain a preset posture for a long time during wear, avoiding light leakage and dark areas caused by shaking or eccentricity. This ensures that the aforementioned light-receiving conditions are stably reflected as an improvement in brightness and fire in the observation direction.

[0045] Specifically, the axial position of the mating groove 36 corresponds to the height of the engagement flange 35 within the receiving cavity 23. When the jewelry piece 40 is placed on the receiving platform 21 and assembled to the predetermined installation depth, the mating groove 36 is exactly opposite to the engagement flange 35, allowing the engagement flange 35 to be embedded into the interior of the mating groove 36 in the radial direction.

[0046] Furthermore, the mating groove 36 forms a local recess along the outer periphery of the jewelry piece 40. The groove width is slightly larger than the thickness of the engaging flange 35, and the groove depth matches the protrusion of the engaging flange 35. This ensures that the engaging flange 35 can reliably engage after being inserted without applying excessive concentrated stress to the outer periphery of the jewelry piece 40. During assembly, the jewelry piece 40 is pressed into the receiving cavity 23 along the direction of the clamping opening 32. When the outer periphery of the jewelry piece 40 passes the height position of the engaging flange 35, the engaging flange 35 briefly moves outward under the action of the elastic clamping arm 30. When the jewelry piece 40 continues to be pressed in until the mating groove 36 and the engaging flange 35 are aligned axially, the elastic clamping arm 30 rebounds, and the engaging flange 35 immediately enters the mating groove 36 and is limited by its groove wall. At this time, the engaging flange 35 and the mating groove 36 are radially engaged with each other, and the bottom and shoulder of the groove clamp the engaging flange 35 in the axial direction, so that the axial and radial positions of the jewelry piece 40 in the receiving cavity 23 are stably locked.

[0047] It should be noted that, in one specific embodiment, the mating groove 36 is preferably formed by precision cutting to ensure reliable engagement with the engaging flange 35 on the insert 10 when used as a snap-fit ​​structure. The groove depth of the mating groove 36 can be set to 0.1mm to 0.3mm, the groove width matches the axial width of the engaging flange 35, and the parallelism error of the groove walls on both sides is no greater than 0.01mm, so that the engaging flange 35 has sufficient snap-fit ​​strength when embedded in the mating groove 36, while avoiding poor engagement or loosening due to excessive gap or groove wall misalignment.

[0048] Furthermore, the mating grooves 36 are arranged to enclose the central axis of the jewelry piece 40, allowing the engaging flange 35 to engage with the mating grooves 36 simultaneously at multiple circumferential positions. Even if the setting 10 is subjected to impacts or vibrations from any direction during use, the jewelry piece 40 is difficult to pull out in a direction away from the receiving platform 21, thus significantly improving its resistance to falling out. At the same time, the mating grooves 36 serve as a unified mating interface, allowing the same groove size and position to be used on different styles of jewelry pieces 40, forming a standardized interface between the setting 10 and the jewelry piece 40. This facilitates users in replacing jewelry pieces 40 of different colors, cuts, or materials on ring settings, pendant holders, or eyeglass frames, enabling modular replacement and rapid assembly.

[0049] In one specific embodiment, a micro-protrusion structure or a corrugated structure is machined on the thinned section 34 of the holding portion 31 facing the receiving cavity 23. The micro-protrusion structure can be small granular protrusions distributed along the length or circumference of the holding portion 31, and the corrugated structure can be periodically undulating strip-shaped ridges. Both are located in the area where the thinned section 34 contacts the outer periphery of the jewelry piece 40. When the jewelry piece 40 is pressed into the receiving cavity 23 and held by the thinned section 34, the micro-protrusion structure or corrugated structure forms multi-point or linear contact with the outer periphery of the jewelry piece 40, which increases the contact friction compared to a smooth surface. This results in a higher anti-slip effect under the same elastic clamping force, which not only helps prevent the jewelry piece 40 from undergoing slight rotation or axial slippage during use, but also improves the fixation reliability without significantly increasing the clamping force, thus balancing stable clamping and protection of the jewelry surface.

[0050] In one specific embodiment, each auxiliary clamping piece 33 is integrally formed as a strip-shaped plate structure, with a roughly triangular outline in a cross section perpendicular to the receiving platform 21. An attachment edge 37 is formed on the side closest to the receiving platform 21, which extends along the surface of the receiving platform 21 and is fixedly connected to the receiving platform 21, so that the auxiliary clamping piece 33 extends obliquely upward from the receiving platform 21; the apex opposite to the attachment edge 37 points toward the clamping opening 32 and extends into the receiving cavity 23. The extension direction of the auxiliary clamping piece 33 is basically consistent with the inclination direction of the elastic clamping arm 30, forming a wedge-shaped plate structure from the receiving platform 21 toward the clamping opening 32. By using the aforementioned triangular cross-section and wedge-shaped arrangement, the auxiliary clamping piece 33 has sufficient rigidity near the attachment edge 37 and a certain elastic contact capability on the apex side. When the jewelry piece 40 enters the receiving cavity 23 along the clamping opening 32, its outer periphery can be gradually guided along the inclined surface of the auxiliary clamping piece 33 and supported near the receiving platform 21. This increases the contact support height and contact area of ​​the jewelry piece 40 without significantly increasing the structural complexity, which is beneficial to improving the overall clamping stability and reducing local stress concentration.

[0051] In one specific embodiment, each elastic clamping arm 30 has at least one opening slot 38 on the connecting section connected to the receiving platform 21. Specifically, the opening slot 38 extends from the inner side of the elastic clamping arm 30 to the outer side to form a through groove, extending along the direction away from the receiving platform 21. The groove shape is preferably a narrow and elongated strip, so that the opening slot 38 divides the elastic clamping arm 30 at the connecting section into a locally weakened elastic zone. Along the circumferential direction of the receiving platform 21, the multiple opening slots 38 are arranged at intervals between each other, so that the elastic clamping arms 30 at different positions have similar elastic characteristics in the region near the root. Through the above structural arrangement, the opening slot 38 appropriately reduces the local stiffness of the connecting section without changing the overall outline of the elastic clamping arm 30, making it easier for the elastic clamping arm 30 to generate controlled elastic deformation during the pressing and clamping of the jewelry piece 40. This helps to reduce stress concentration at the connecting part, and at the same time makes the opening and rebound of each elastic clamping arm 30 smoother and more uniform, thereby helping to improve the adaptability to jewelry pieces 40 of different sizes and the reliability of long-term use.

[0052] In one specific embodiment, the elastic clamping arms 30 are configured in two sets, which are respectively arranged on opposite sides of the receiving cavity 23 and symmetrically arranged in pairs with respect to the central axis of the setting base 10. Through this symmetrical arrangement, after the jewelry piece 40 is inserted into the receiving cavity 23, it can be subjected to clamping forces from opposite sides. The clamping directions form a pair of opposing forces, which helps to keep the axis of the jewelry piece 40 basically coincident with the central axis of the setting base 10. At the same time, the structure is simple and easy to process and control the force balance of the elastic clamping arms 30.

[0053] In one specific embodiment, the supporting base 22, the receiving platform 21, and each elastic clamping arm 30 are formed as a single piece, which can be manufactured in one step by integral molding, casting, or stamping. This single-piece structure eliminates the welding or connection processes between the supporting base 22, the receiving platform 21, and the elastic clamping arms 30, reducing assembly interfaces and cumulative errors, improving overall strength and rigidity, and helping to ensure the relative positional accuracy between the elastic clamping arms 30 and the receiving platform 21. This allows the jewelry piece 40 to maintain a stable clamping state even during prolonged use.

[0054] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0055] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementation methods of this application, and while the descriptions are specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this patent application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the protection scope of this application. Therefore, the protection scope of this patent application should be determined by the appended claims.
