Detailed Description

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments.

The first embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in fig. 1-5. The chain 100 is formed by a plurality of loops (e.g., O-rings), which are substantially divided into a first loop 110 and a second loop 120 when the chain 100 is straightened, the first loop 110 and the second loop 120 being alternately connected to form the chain, and in an ideal state, the first loop 110 and the second loop 120 are perpendicular.

The apparatus for forming characters on a chain 100 according to the first embodiment includes a molding assembly 200, a chain running assembly 300, and a tensioning assembly (not shown) for tensioning the chain 100 to make the chain 100 almost linear. The chain run assembly 300 is used to move the chain 100.

In this embodiment, the forming assembly 200 includes a support base 210 and a hammer ram 220. The support seat 210 and the hammer head 220 are disposed opposite to each other, and may be disposed one above the other, the support seat 210 may be disposed below, and the hammer head 220 may be disposed above the support seat 210. The hammer ram 220 may be mounted on a driving mechanism (not shown) by which the hammer ram 220 is reciprocally moved up and down to bring the hammer ram 220 closer to or farther from the support base 210.

As shown in fig. 2, the supporting seat 210 has a horizontal supporting surface 211, the supporting surface 211 is concavely formed with a vertical first slit 212, the width of the first slit 212 corresponds to the thickness of the second ring 120, which may be slightly larger than the thickness of the second ring 120, so as to maintain the second ring 120 in a vertical state, and the second ring 120 can pass through the first slit 212 when the chain 100 moves. The bearing surface 211 can bear at least one first ring 110, and when the chain 100 moves forward, at least one first ring 110 is borne by the bearing surface 211.

As shown in fig. 3, the hammer head 220 has a hammering surface 221. A character mold 222 may be formed on one or both of the bearing surface 211 and the hammering surface 221, the character mold 222 being aligned at a position of the first ring 110 where a character is to be printed. The hammer head 220 is reciprocally moved up and down by the driving mechanism, and the hammer head 220 presses the first ring 110 against the bearing surface 211, so that characters can be embossed on the first ring 110.

If it is necessary to press the first ring 110 entirely so that the first ring 110 forms characters at a position adjacent to the second ring 120, a second slit 223 may be concavely formed on the hammering surface 221, and the second slit 223 is opposite to the first slit 212. When the hammer head 220 hammers the first ring 110 toward the support base 210, the second ring 120 on both sides of the first ring 110 is partially received in the second slit 223, so that characters can be formed on the first ring 110 adjacent to the second ring 120.

After the first ring 110 is stamped with characters, the chain 100 is moved forward by the chain moving assembly 300 so that the next first ring 110 is carried by the bearing surface 211 and aligned with the hammering surface 221, and then is stamped with characters by the hammering of the hammering head 220, and so on in the next first ring 110. The chain running unit 300 and the hammer head 220 may be coupled, when the chain running unit 300 runs the chain 100 forward, the hammer head 220 leaves the pressing state, and when another first ring 110 is supported by the supporting surface 211, the hammer head 220 presses the first ring 110, and so on. The apparatus for forming characters on the chain 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention can form characters on the chain 100 that has been formed in a chain shape, can improve the efficiency of forming characters on the chain 100, and can improve the accuracy of characters.

It should be noted that the character patterns 222 on the bearing surface 211 and/or the hammering surface 221 may be formed by laser. Specifically, the character model 222 can be obtained by laser engraving on the bearing surface 211 and/or the hammering surface 221 in a fine-tuning and precise alignment manner according to the size of the first ring 110, the position of the character to be embossed, the character pattern and the like, and the method can be applied to the formation of characters on the chain 100 with the width of 1.1mm-1.3mm, the width of the single-side embossing area is only 0.25mm-0.30mm, and the size of the single font of the embossed characters, numbers, letters and characters is about 0.14 mm-0.14 mm.

In this embodiment, as shown in fig. 1 and 4, the chain run assembly 300 includes a bridge plate 310 and a push rod 320. The chain 100 is supported by the bridge plate 310. The bridge plate 310 is located behind the molding assembly 200. The push rod 320 is used for pushing the first loop 110 and/or the second loop 120 to advance one or more predetermined distances, wherein the predetermined distance is a distance between head ends of two adjacent first loops 110. Characters may be formed on all of the first loops 110, or characters may be formed on spaced first loops 110, according to actual requirements.

In this embodiment, the bridge plate 310 includes a groove 311 and a third slit 312 continuously recessed from the groove 311, and the groove 311 and the third slit 312 extend along the running direction of the chain 100. The width of the groove 311 corresponds to the width of the first ring 110, and the depth of the groove 311 may be equal to the thickness of the first ring 110, such that the first ring 110 is at least partially received and confined in the groove 311, such that the first ring 110 is corrected to be horizontal and parallel to the bearing surface 211. The third slot 312 corresponds to the thickness of the second loop 120 such that a portion of the second loop 120 is received and confined within the third slot 312 such that the second loop 120 is corrected to be vertical and parallel to the first slot 212. In this way, during the feeding of the chain 100 to the forming assembly 200, the profile of the first loop 110 and the second loop 120 can be corrected by the bridge plate 310 so as to facilitate the passage of the chain 100 through the forming assembly 200, i.e. so as to keep the first loop 110 borne by the bearing surface 211 in full contact and so as to allow the second loop 120 to pass through the first slit 212 and/or the second slit 223.

In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 4, the push rod 320 includes a fourth slit 321, the second ring 120 is partially received in the fourth slit 321, the push rod 320 pushes the first ring 110 constrained in the groove 311 to advance, the second ring 120 can be constrained in the fourth slit 321, and the second ring 120 can be further corrected to be vertical. In another embodiment, as shown in fig. 5, the push rod 320 includes a pressing surface 322, the pressing surface 322 presses against the first ring 110 confined in the groove 311 and pushes the front second ring 120 to advance, and the first ring 110 can be flattened in the groove 311 by the pressing surface 322, so as to further correct the first ring 110 to be horizontal.

A second embodiment of the present invention.

It should be understood that the possible specific embodiments of the first embodiment of the present invention can be correspondingly applied to the present embodiment, and the differences between the present embodiment and the first embodiment are described in detail herein, and the descriptions of the same parts are omitted.

In an apparatus for forming characters on a chain 100 according to a second embodiment of the present invention, the hammer head 220 of the first embodiment is replaced with a laser head (not shown) fixed on the basis of the first embodiment. When the chain running assembly 300 moves the chain 100 so that the following first ring 110 is carried by the bearing surface 211 and is aligned with the laser head, the laser head emits a laser to laser characters on the first ring 110 carried by the bearing surface 211.

The above description is only for the purpose of illustrating the preferred embodiments of the present invention and is not to be construed as limiting the utility model, and any modifications, equivalents and improvements made within the spirit and principle of the present invention are intended to be included within the scope of the present invention.
