Description

[Method and apparatus for manufacturing high-hardness diamond simulant by cutting a gemstone into 100-sided body}

The present invention relates to a technique for processing (and/or working) a gemstone.

Specifically, the present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for manufacturing a high-hardness diamond simulant by cutting a gemstone into a dodecahedron.

In addition, the present invention can be seen as related to the fourth industrial technology, since one embodiment proposes a technology for precisely processing the gemstone using various sensors.

Jewelry used in accessories including jewelry is processed into a size that can be used for accessories through a variety of processes including the extraction of gemstones.

In this process, in order for the gemstone to finally become a gemstone, it goes through a complex process.In particular, in the process of cutting the gemstone into a certain size, not only the marking of the size at which the gemstone should be cut, but also the cutting of the gemstone after the marking is completed. It is being done manually by the operator.

Gemstones (e.g. diamonds) can be used in a number of ways, for example, cleaving to split gemstones, sawing to cut gemstones, cutting to cut gemstones and polishing for polishing. Mechanically processed.

In the conventional processing method of all of the raw stone surfaces, a tool such as a disk or saw blade in which the raw stone or raw stone particles are fixed to be pressed against the surface of the raw stone to be processed is used.

In conventional shaping and grinding of gemstones, abrasive powder consisting of unbound gemstone particles in an unbound state is supplied onto a cast iron rotating disk/scaif with some oil. The gemstone particles are mechanically machined within the grooves of the cast iron, as a result of which they are bonded to the surface of the processed gemstone particles and penetrated.

Patent applications EP 0354775 A, GB 2255923 A and US 4484418 A describe a cast iron disc/skype in which diamond particles are bonded and fixed for grinding diamonds in a conventional manner.

This conventional processing method is very similar to the lapping method of a machine part in which, for example, a rotating disk made of cast iron is supplied with abrasive powder with a little oil and such abrasive powder cannot be mechanically moved in the groove of the cast iron.

Apart from the fact that diamond is very difficult to machine, the efficiency of known mechanical machining operations is highly dependent on the direction of the diamond crystal structure relative to the machining direction. In some machining operations, some directions may be excluded, and in other machining operations, it is required to determine the appropriate machining direction by experience each time. This limits and complicates the machining operation and affects the manufacturing time and the required degree of freedom of the machinery and tools used.

When polishing a diamond, the removal rate, which is the rate at which a portion of the diamond to be machined is removed, will greatly depend on the orientation of the machining direction with respect to the crystal direction. Moreover, mechanical processing of polycrystalline diamonds in which crystals are oriented in several directions is very difficult.

Accordingly, many developers and/or workers in the raw stone processing industry are making a lot of effort to develop an automated system while easily processing the raw stone.

In addition, as described above, since the present invention is also related to the fourth industrial technology, the following background technology will be described.

Currently, the 4th industrial revolution is unfolding in front of us by the convergence of digital technology and information and communication technology (ICT). The Fourth Industrial Revolution represents the present and future where innovative technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT), robotics, virtual reality (VR) and artificial intelligence (AI) are changing the way we live and work. Although the development of computers and information technology (IT) caused by the Third Industrial Revolution called Digital Revolution continues to take place, it is considered a new era rather than the continuation of the Third Industrial Revolution due to the explosiveness and destruction of development.

The characteristics of the 4th industrial revolution currently underway are the technology of generating and collecting various information and data through the fusion of technologies such as digital, bio, and offline, classification and analysis of collected information and data, and repetition through this analysis. Optimal target values (new software) are derived by learning. For technologies related to the 4th industrial revolution, artificial intelligence (AI) is emerging as the core, and in addition, there are big data, Internet of Things (loT), and block chain. . These technologies are applied to various industrial fields such as computers, the Internet, mobile, and robots, either alone or as a converged technological idea, promoting rapid social change and industrial development beyond humans' imagination.

In many countries around the world, the paradigm that had dominated an era has completely disappeared with the 4th Industrial Revolution, and the paradigm that had been in a mutually complementary and competitive relationship is taking place as a new paradigm. The 4th Industrial Revolution pays attention to the value creation method of collecting data in the real world (data acquisition), analyzing it in the virtual world, extracting knowledge (data analysis), and using it in the real world (applied to reality). Meanwhile, the development of intelligent information technology related to AI, big data, IoT, blockchain, cloud computing, mobile, etc. as various SW fields beyond the conventional information and communication technology (ICT) is in progress. In particular, AI based on computer software (SW) is in the most important position as various technologically advanced technologies converge with each other.

The convergence of computers and information and communication technology (ICT) is the IoT and blockchain in which all objects and various big data are interconnected and combined (fusion) through a network, and the boundaries of innovation and companies are broken beyond their technological boundaries. There is a clear phenomenon in the industrial field. The characteristics of the 4th industrial revolution in each country are a hyperconnected society in which humans and humans, objects and objects, and humans and objects are connected to each other through the development of computers and information and communication technology (ICT) with the goal of hyperconnected society, convergence, and borderlessness. (hyper-connected society) is being formed, which is causing a new technological revolution in which social convergence is achieved where industrial boundaries disappear. In the era of the 4th industrial revolution, unlike the information society of the past, which communicated through computers, smartphones, SNS, and mobile, a hyperconnected society is formed by building a network that is fused with AI, big data, IoT, and blockchain. In such a hyper-connected society, the convergence of offline and online is achieving new growth, innovation, and value creation, such as new businesses and new products as a value innovation industry.

In the future, billions of people will be connected to mobile devices to collect and store massive amounts of data and information, and the collected data and information will have hyper-connectivity through deep learning technology of artificial neural networks similar to human knowledge. With the advancement of data combination technology, AI and IoT combination technology, AI and big data and IoT combination technology, intelligent and innovative changes are taking place in various fields such as manufacturing, distribution, medical care, education, finance, and cinema. In other words, the convergence and application of technologies related to the 4th industrial revolution is changing into an intelligent information society that is more innovative and advanced than industrial growth caused by the existing Internet and mobile development.

The seed of the initial crystal is generated while maintaining the temperature of about, and the induction coil is gradually moved from the bottom of the skull to the top at a speed of 3.0 to 6.0 mm/hour outside the high frequency induction heating device to grow a single crystal of cubic zirconia, When the growth is completed, it is characterized by producing cubic zirconia through a process of cooling inside the skull for 24 to 72 hours, then separating the packing material from the skull, cooling it in the atmosphere for 24 to 48 hours, and isolating the single crystal part from the separated packing material. I can.

In addition, according to an embodiment of the present invention, first, the main components ZrO ₂ and Y ₂ O ₃ for color development Co ₃ O ₄ , V ₂ O ₅ , NiO or oxides of rare earth elements based on the total weight of the mixture from 0.01 to It can be mixed by adding 2 parts by weight. At this time, the main components of ZrO ₂ and Y ₂ O ₃ may be used in 75 to 85 parts by weight and 15 to 20 parts by weight, respectively, based on the total weight of the mixture.

In addition, in an embodiment of the present invention, the oxide of Co ₃ O ₄ , V ₂ O ₅ , NiO or rare earth element may be used in a trace amount or in a small amount, that is, 0.01 to 2 parts by weight as a raw material used for color development. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the oxide of the rare earth element is, for example, in the group consisting of Er ₂ O ₃ , Nd ₂ O ₃ , CeO ₂ , Pr ₆ O _11, etc. to the desired color development color of cubic zirconia.

The artificial gemstone (or synthetic gemstone) thus produced may be processed based on the features described below.

1 is a view showing an automated system for processing gemstones according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1, the automatic stone processing system 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention may be for producing and/or obtaining the gem 30 by processing the gem stone 10 to be processed, and the gem stone processing The automation device 100 may include a raw stone processing device 110.

The automatic stone processing system 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a fixing means 640 for holding the raw stone 10 to be processed (based on information indicating a predetermined fixed strength), and It may include a raw stone processing apparatus 110 including a processing means 630 for cutting the raw stone 10 to be processed based on information indicating the cutting strength of. The gemstone processing device 110 will be described in detail later.

The raw stone 10 to be processed may represent the raw stone before going through the processing process through the raw stone processing automation system 100 of the present invention, and the gem 30 is the raw stone processing automation system 100 of the present invention. Through the process, the resultant (or processed product) can be represented. In addition, the raw stone 10 to be processed includes ore obtained and/or prepared by the user of the raw stone processing apparatus 110, or artificial ore (or synthetic ore) manufactured and/or obtained by the above-described high-frequency induction heating method. Can include.

In addition, the raw stone 10 to be processed may represent a stone that has not been applied to the surface as a natural stone cut out from a production center, and may further include, for example, diamond, emerald, sapphire, ruby, and the like.

In addition, the raw stone 10 to be processed may further include moissanite (ie, various crystalline polymorphs made of silicon carbide (SiC)), kinite, labradorite, inclusion, labradorite, iolite, and the like. .

2 and 3 are flowcharts illustrating a method of processing a gemstone according to an embodiment of the present invention.

On the other hand, the raw stone processing method according to Figures 2 and 3 is through the process of transmitting and receiving IoT and / or ICT-based signals and / or information between the raw stone processing device 110, the server 120 and / or the terminal 120 Can be done.

Here, IoT may represent the Internet of Things.

IoT (Internet of Things) can mean a next-generation technology in which all things in the world are'connected' through a network and communicate with each other. The fourth industrial revolution is to obtain big data through the Internet of Things, store it in the cloud, and analyze and utilize it with artificial intelligence. The Internet of Things is intelligent and can create a smart world such as smart cars, smart homes, and smart cities.

For example, it will become a world where the Internet is connected to all fields such as fully autonomous cars, smart homes, smart buildings, and healthcare services, and the Internet may be like air, but there may not be a need for an Internet to exist. In order for the Internet of Things to be possible, there must be more than just the Internet. Various underlying technologies such as sensor and network technology, big data, cloud computing, artificial intelligence, and 3D printing must be harmonized together. In particular, the 4th Industrial Revolution shows the flow of acquiring big data through the Internet of Things, storing it in the cloud, and analyzing and utilizing it with artificial intelligence.

In addition, ICT can represent Information and Communication Technology.

ICT (Information & Communication Technology) is a compound word of information technology (IT) and communication technology (CT), using hardware of information devices and software technologies necessary for operation and information management of these devices, and It refers to all methods of collecting, producing, processing, preserving, transmitting and using information. Changes in the ICT paradigm can be understood from the perspective of deepening interdependence between each sector in the content (C)-platform (P)-network (N)-device (D) value chain.

In general, the C-PN-T (terminal) value chain has been widely used to describe the broadcasting platform, but considering devices that are actually computers such as smartphones and tablets, the expression CPND may be more useful in describing ICT. . Looking at the content (C) section, it is worth recalling that the division of photos, books, music, and videos on the Internet is no longer meaningless. All of these types of content are digitalized and provided to users by platform providers, and content holders provide content through affiliation with platform providers such as Google, Apple, and Amazon, or directly configuring the platform. The platform sector can play an important role in the C-P-N-D value chain.

On the Internet, content can be accumulated, processed, stored, and provided by software. This means that ICT companies with software technology will take the lead. In particular, cloud service providers with software technology and cloud infrastructure are emerging as representative platform providers. In the process, there is a possibility that the status of traditional network transport service providers will be relatively weakened. On the other hand, companies with source content will be able to establish an equal relationship with the platform provider. The network in the era of digital convergence is an IP network, that is, the Internet. Traditional networks such as circuit-type telephone networks provide intelligent services such as user identification by network holders themselves, but in the case of the Internet, various service providers such as Akamai provide efficient traffic transmission and security through server clusters. Provided in a competitive market.

In the sense that such an intelligent network service provider is also a kind of platform provider, in fact, it is difficult to distinguish between a platform and a network. It is also important that operators with communication networks directly provide platform services. The device sector is always connected to the Internet, and a software program inside the device with a general-purpose operating system such as iOS is connected to the platform to complete the service. Apple is a representative example of the platform provider being the device provider at the same time, and considering the partnership between Google and the Android phone maker, it can be seen that the relationship between the platform and device sectors is closer and interdependent than in the past. The alliance between the content division and the platform division, the connection between the device division and the platform, and the blurring of the boundaries between the platform division and the network division could all mean deepening interdependence in each division of C-P-N-D.

The server 120 may be implemented using, for example, a web server program variously provided according to operating systems such as DOS, Windows, Linux, Unix, and Macintosh in general server hardware.

The terminal 130 is, for example, a smart phone, a mobile phone, a smart TV, a set-top box, a tablet PC, a digital camera, a camcorder, an e-book terminal, a digital broadcasting terminal, a PDA (Personal Digital Assistants), A portable multimedia player (PMP), navigation, MP3 player, wearable device, air conditioner, microwave oven, audio, DVD player, and the like may be included. Here, the personal computer may include a laptop computer, a desktop, and the like.

That is, the fixing means 640 may include a first fixing part 910 and/or a second fixing part 920.

For example, the raw stone 10 to be processed may be fixed or positioned at a specific position (and/or angle, height, etc.) using the third fixing unit 930 illustrated in FIG. 7. That is, the fixing means 640 may include a third fixing part 930.

In addition, the predetermined fixed strength may be set and/or controlled by the control module 610 of the gemstone processing apparatus 110 and/or the control module 710 of the server 120, indicating the predetermined fixed strength. The information may be transmitted from the control modules 610 and 710 to the fixing means 640 of the raw stone processing apparatus 110.

For example, the control modules 610 and 710 may arbitrarily set the predetermined fixed strength as a first fixed strength.

In addition, the raw stone processing method according to an embodiment of the present invention may include cutting the raw stone to be processed based on information indicating a predetermined cutting strength by the processing means (S220).

For example, the raw stone 10 to be processed may be processed and/or cut by using the optical processing apparatus 950 illustrated in FIGS. 8 and 9. That is, the processing means 630 may include a light processing device 950.

In addition, the predetermined cutting strength may be set and/or controlled by the control module 610 of the gemstone processing apparatus 110 and/or the control module 710 of the server 120, indicating the predetermined cutting strength. The information may be transmitted from the control modules 610 and 710 to the processing means 630 of the raw stone processing apparatus 110.

For example, the control modules 610 and 710 may arbitrarily set the predetermined cutting intensity as the first cutting intensity.

In addition, the raw stone processing method according to an embodiment of the present invention may include the step of obtaining image information by photographing the raw stone to be processed (S230).

The raw stone processing apparatus 110 includes a sensor module 650 including a plurality of cameras, and photographs the raw stone 10 to be processed using at least one of the plurality of cameras to capture the raw stone 10 to be processed. Image information about can be obtained.

The raw stone processing device 110 and/or the server 120 is a Histogram of Oriented Gradient (HOG), Haar-like feature, Co-occurrence HOG, local binary pattern (LBP), features from accelerated segment test (FAST) on the image information. By applying various algorithms for object feature extraction such as ), etc., the image information and/or image obtained through the sensor module 650 can be extracted from the image information and/or the outline of the object in the image or the object. It is possible to acquire text (or outline (or appearance) representing information).

Through this process, the raw stone processing apparatus 110 and/or the server 120 may generate and/or obtain object information on the raw stone 10 to be processed, and object information on the raw stone 10 to be processed. Includes information on a plurality of faces created and/or formed on the raw stone 10 to be processed (e.g., the number of planes (e.g., 100 facets (white faces), 100 face cuts (back face cuts))). I can.

In addition, the rough stone processing method according to an embodiment of the present invention may include setting and/or resetting information indicating a fixed strength, information indicating a cutting strength, and/or information indicating a fixed direction based on image information. Yes (S240).

For example, the gemstone processing apparatus 110 and/or the server 120 may provide information on a plurality of surfaces created and/or formed on the gemstone 10 to be processed (eg, the number of planes). Based on whether or not the criteria are satisfied, the processing mode of the gemstone processing apparatus 10, the processing means 630 and/or the control information about the fixing means 640 may be set differently.

For example, the gemstone processing apparatus 110 and/or the server 120 is the number of a plurality of planes created and/or formed on the raw stone 10 to be processed (or identified in the rough stone 10 to be processed). When the number of faces) exceeds the threshold value, it is possible to change the processing mode of the gemstone processing apparatus 10, generate and/or set a specific command for the processing means 630 and/or the fixing means 640. .
