Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of jewelry technology, and in particular to a gemstone setting and chain that uses a snap-fit ​​structure for quick connection. Background Technology

[0002] In jewelry design, gemstone settings are used to hold gemstones and are combined into bracelets, necklaces, and other ornaments through connecting structures. Traditional gemstone setting connection methods mainly include welding and bonding. Welding uses high temperatures to fuse the gemstone setting to the connector, forming a permanent connection. Although the connection is strong, it is irreversible after welding, making it impossible to disassemble or adjust the number and position of gemstone settings, resulting in a lack of flexibility and customizability in the jewelry. Furthermore, welding requires specialized equipment and technicians, is costly and inefficient, and the high temperatures can damage the gemstones or the setting. Bonding uses glue or adhesives to bond the gemstone setting to the connector, which is simple to operate but has poor stability: the glue is easily affected by environmental factors (such as sweat, temperature changes, and friction), leading to aging, cracking, or detachment. The reliability of the connection decreases over time, posing a risk of gemstone loss. In addition, it is difficult to disassemble without damage after bonding, resulting in poor maintainability. Both methods have limitations to varying degrees and cannot simultaneously meet the requirements of connection efficiency, versatility, and stability. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0017] The present invention will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings.

[0018] See Figure 1-3 As shown, this utility model discloses a gemstone setting with a snap-fit ​​structure for quick connection. It includes a gemstone setting base 1, a gemstone cavity 3 for mounting gemstones on the upper side of the base 1, a connecting rod 4 on the front side of the base 1, a limiting element 5 at the front end of the connecting rod 4, and a stepped groove 2 on the rear side of the base 1 that matches the connecting rod 4 and the limiting element 5, allowing the connecting rod 4 and the limiting element 5 to be snapped into the stepped groove 2 of the next gemstone setting. The stepped groove 2 includes a connecting groove 22 and a limiting groove 21, with the bottom of the limiting groove 21 lower than the bottom of the connecting groove 22. The limiting element 5 is arranged within the limiting groove 21 of the next gemstone setting, and the limiting groove 21 is formed on the inner wall of the gemstone cavity 3. The outer periphery of the gemstone setting base 1 is provided with multiple fixing claws 6 for setting and fixing gemstones onto the gemstone cavity 3. The gemstone setting base 1 is connected via a snap-fit ​​structure on the front side of the base 1. A connecting rod 4 and a limiting element 5 are provided, and a connecting groove 22 and a limiting groove 21 are provided on the rear side of the gemstone base 1. By snapping the connecting rod 4 and the limiting element 5 of the previous gemstone base into the connecting groove 22 and the limiting groove 21 of the next gemstone base, the limiting element 5 is restricted from moving backward under the action of the limiting groove 21. At the same time, by setting the gemstone in the gemstone cavity 3, the fixing claws 6 are precisely bent on each gemstone to hold the gemstone firmly in place. Multiple fixing claws 6 press and fix the gemstone evenly in multiple directions, which also restricts the upward movement of the limiting element 5. By repeating the connection action of each gemstone base, bracelets, necklaces, anklets and other jewelry can be made quickly. Compared with traditional welding technology, this solution can be quickly assembled and connected without welding, effectively improving production efficiency, and is also convenient for later disassembly, replacement and maintenance.

[0019] Specifically, the lower end of the fixing claw 6 extends all the way to the bottom of the gemstone holder base 1 and is flush with the bottom of the gemstone holder base 1. The fixing claw 6 also acts as a reinforcing rib on the outside of the gemstone holder base 1, effectively strengthening the overall mechanical strength of the gemstone holder and effectively preventing the gemstone holder from deforming.

[0020] Priority is given to the fact that multiple fixing claws 6 are evenly distributed on the periphery of the gemstone base 1. The fixing claws 6 have slots 7 for engaging the edge of the gemstone. The gemstone is engaged through the slots 7, which makes it easier to hold the gemstone in place and effectively prevents the gemstone from falling out during use.

[0021] Furthermore, a through hole 12 is provided on the gemstone base 1 below the gemstone cavity 3, which communicates with it. The through hole 12 plays a role in reducing weight, and at the same time, it can reduce production materials and reduce costs.

[0022] Furthermore, side holes 8 are provided on both sides of the connection between the through hole 12 and the gemstone cavity 3. The light from below the gemstone can be reflected out through the side holes 8, which makes it easier for viewers to view the gemstone from a wider range and helps to improve the aesthetics of the product.

[0023] Furthermore, the connecting rod 4 and the limiting element 5 are an integral structure, which facilitates manufacturing, reduces stress concentration in the later stage, and is in a T-shape. The T-shape allows the connecting rod 4 and the limiting element 5 to be limited in the stepped groove 2, thus playing a connecting role.

[0024] Furthermore, the two sides of the connecting rod 4 are first arc-shaped surfaces 9, which are low in the middle and high at both ends. The two sides of the connecting groove 22 are provided with second arc-shaped surfaces 10 that are adapted to the first arc-shaped surfaces 9. The connecting rod 4 cooperates with the first arc-shaped surfaces 9 and the second arc-shaped surfaces 10, so that when the connecting rod 4 is engaged in the connecting groove 22, it plays a certain limiting role, thereby ensuring the reliability of the connection.

[0025] Furthermore, the top of the limiting element 5 is provided with a third arc-shaped surface 13 that is adapted to the inclined surface of the gemstone, so that the gemstone can better contact the top of the limiting element 5, thereby ensuring that the gemstone will not be damaged during the pressing process.

[0026] Furthermore, flat surfaces 11 are provided on the outer circular surfaces of the front and rear sides of the gemstone setting base 1, so that the two gemstone setting bases 1 can be connected close to each other, reducing the distance between two adjacent gemstone setting bases 1 and making the chain formed tighter.

[0027] A chain comprising the aforementioned gemstone setting, wherein multiple consecutive identical gemstone settings are connected to each other by means of a connecting rod 4 and a limiting element 5 of the previous gemstone setting being snapped into the connecting groove 22 and the limiting groove 21 of the next gemstone setting, and further connected by gemstones in the gemstone cavity 3 pressing against the limiting element 5. Through the quick connection between the gemstone settings, bracelets, necklaces, anklets and other jewelry can be made quickly. Compared with traditional welding technology, this solution can be quickly assembled and connected without welding, effectively improving production efficiency, while also facilitating later disassembly, replacement and maintenance.

[0028] In this embodiment, a gemstone setting with a snap-fit ​​structure for quick connection is used. A connecting rod 4 and a limiting element 5 are provided on the front side of the gemstone setting base 1, and a connecting groove 22 and a limiting groove 21 are provided on the rear side of the gemstone setting base 1. By snapping the connecting rod 4 and limiting element 5 of the previous gemstone setting into the connecting groove 22 and limiting groove 21 of the next gemstone setting, the limiting groove 21 restricts the backward movement of the limiting element 5. Simultaneously, by embedding the gemstone in the gemstone cavity 3, the fixing claws 6 are precisely bent on each gemstone to firmly hold it in place. Multiple fixing claws 6 evenly press and fix the gemstone from multiple directions, while also restricting the upward movement of the limiting element 5. By repeating the connection action of each gemstone setting, bracelets, necklaces, anklets, and other jewelry can be quickly produced. Compared with traditional welding techniques, this solution allows for quick assembly and connection, eliminating the need for welding, effectively improving production efficiency, and facilitating later disassembly, replacement, and maintenance. This utility model discloses a gemstone holder and chain with a snap-fit ​​structure for quick connection. It can achieve rapid connection while ensuring a stable connection between gemstone holders, effectively improving production efficiency. It has the characteristics of wide applicability and strong practicality.

[0029] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the structure of the present utility model. These modifications and improvements will not affect the effectiveness of the present utility model or the practicality of the patent.
