Abstract

The present invention provides a jewel grinding system applied to fields of grinding and processing detection. The jewel grinding system includes a base, a placement rack, a loading robot arm, a movable clamping module, a grinding module, a travel monitoring module, a light spot analysis module, and a control module. An angle of a grinding disc can be freely adjusted to meet different grinding requirements. In addition, a designed first transmission mechanism can achieve transmission to the grinding disc that is flexibly adjusted, and the structure is simple and efficient. By providing the travel monitoring module, a grinding effect can be monitored and measured in real time, which is conducive to intelligently adjust operation of the movable clamping module. Therefore, processing of 36 facets at a crown and a girdle can be well achieved, so that a display effect of 9 hearts and 27 arrows is achieved. Symmetric facets can be grinded at the same time by grinding discs that are symmetrically provided, and thus a grinding efficiency and accuracy are improved. A grinding degree of each facet can be visually and intelligently detected by providing the light spot analysis module. Accurate and rapid mounting can be assisted by providing the loading robot arm.

A method of jewel grinding, the method comprising:

placing a rough stone to be processed on a casting mold, then adding a set amount of molten material that is in a liquid state after heating such that the molten material is partially connected to the rough stone, and forming a workpiece after the molten material is solidified and adhered to the rough stone;
placing the workpiece on a placement rack, and controlling, by a control module, a loading robot arm to clamp the workpiece and then to mount the workpiece on a movable clamping module;
driving, by the movable clamping module, the workpiece to move to a processing station, then driving the workpiece to descend such that the rough stone is partially brought into contact with grinding discs on both sides to start grinding, causing a lifting mechanism to gradually descend until a grinding depth position is reached during a grinding process to process two opposite main facets at a pavilion, after grinding of one surface to be grinded is completed, transferring, by the movable clamping module, the rough stone to a light spot analysis module to analyze whether the processing of the surface to be grinded is completed, controlling rotation mechanism to drive the clamping mechanism to rotate by an angle of one unit surface to be grinded, grinding a next adjacent surface to be grinded, and repeatedly performing the grinding until processing of all 36 main facets at the pavilion is completed;
after the processing of the pavilion is completed, heating the workpiece to melt the molten material, separating the molten material from the rough stone, rotating the rough stone by 180 degrees from an initial posture, then placing the rough stone on a placement seat of the casting mold, adding the molten material that is in the liquid state after heating into a trough of the casting mold, adjusting inclination angles of the two grinding discs, and then repeating steps S2 and S3 to grind 36 main facets at a crown;
and
taking out a finished product after the grinding is completed, heating, melting, and removing the molten material to take out a grinded jewel.
