[0046] 3. The assembly of shelf label products involves many manual steps and cannot be fully automated.
[0047] Therefore, the inventors have considered the above technical problems and proposed an electronic shelf label and a manufacturing solution thereof, which solves the following problems:

After the bonding is completed, the middle frame and one side of the electrical component electronic paper display screen form a second accommodation space, and inject epoxy resin glue into the second accommodation space to form a second epoxy resin glue sealing layer.
[0056] Step 104: After placing a second PET film on the side of the second epoxy resin glue sealing layer facing away from the electrical components, lamination and curing are performed to form an electronic shelf label; after the first epoxy resin glue sealing layer and the second epoxy resin glue sealing layer are cured, a complete potting colloid for isolating external water vapor is formed between the first PET film, the second PET film and the middle frame.
[0057] In one embodiment, the method for manufacturing an electronic shelf label may further include:
[0058] Prepare a first PET film whole plate, a middle frame whole plate, a battery pack, a PCBA group, an electronic paper display screen group, and a second PET film whole plate; wherein: the first PET film whole plate includes a plurality of first PET films for preparing electronic shelf labels, the middle frame whole plate includes a plurality of middle frames for preparing electronic shelf labels, the battery pack includes a plurality of batteries for preparing electronic shelf labels, the PCBA group includes a plurality of PCBAs for preparing electronic shelf labels, the electronic paper display screen group includes a plurality of electronic paper display screens for preparing electronic shelf labels, and the second PET film whole plate includes a plurality of second PET films for preparing electronic shelf labels; each first PET film has a middle frame, a battery, a PCBA, an electronic paper display screen, and a second PET film corresponding to its position;

[0060] The whole electronic shelf label plate is CNC milled into multiple single electronic shelf labels.
[0061] In specific implementation, the above solution of obtaining a whole electronic shelf label plate and then milling out multiple single electronic shelf labels through a CNC machine tool further makes it easy to realize automated production of electronic shelf labels, thereby improving the manufacturing efficiency of electronic shelf labels.
[0062] In order to facilitate understanding of how the present invention is implemented, the following Figures 2 to 6 , the implementation process of the present invention is introduced in detail.
[0063] 1.PET preparation:

[0066] After the screen printing process is completed, the first PET film whole plate is punched with positioning holes and the second PET film whole plate is punched with positioning holes; the positioning holes are used for positioning during the lamination process.
[0067] In the specific implementation, the first PET film (PET rear film) whole plate and the second PET film (PET front film) whole plate are respectively screen printed, and then punched (positioning holes) for positioning during lamination to improve the quality and manufacturing efficiency of the electronic shelf label. The following steps will also punch positioning holes on the middle frame whole plate, and the positioning holes 21 on the middle frame whole plate correspond to the positions of the positioning holes on the first PET film whole plate and the second PET film whole plate.
[0068] 2. Middle frame preparation: In one embodiment, the whole middle frame board can be prepared as follows:
[0069] A glue overflow half hole 22 for connecting the first accommodation space and the second accommodation space is provided on each middle frame of the middle frame whole plate;
[0070] An overflow glue groove is provided on the entire middle frame plate to accommodate excess epoxy resin glue during the lamination process.
[0071] In the specific implementation, according to the stacking shape of the whole machine, the PC sheet is used to CNC process the whole middle frame (middle frame whole board). The schematic diagram of the middle frame whole board is shown in Figure 4 shown. Figure 4 The overflow glue half hole 22 allows the epoxy resin glue to flow between the PET front film and the PET back film, making it easier to form a complete potting colloid for isolating external moisture. The potting colloid more fully covers the electrical components including the electronic paper display screen, fully isolating it from external moisture, and further extending the service life of the electronic shelf label. In addition, a horizontal overflow glue groove 23 and a vertical overflow glue groove 24 are reserved on the entire middle frame. During the lamination process, excess glue will flow into the overflow glue groove, so that the glue can fully fill the entire middle frame and the gap between the middle frame and the front and rear PET films.
[0072] In one embodiment, a half-hole for glue overflow is provided on each middle frame of the middle frame whole plate for connecting the first accommodation space and the second accommodation space, including: a half-hole for glue overflow is provided on the inner edge of each middle frame of the middle frame whole plate for connecting the first accommodation space and the second accommodation space.
[0073] When implementing it, Figure 4 As shown, a half hole for overflowing glue is provided on the inner edge of each middle frame, which is convenient for implementation and more conducive to the flow of glue between the PET front film and the PET rear film. There can be multiple half holes for overflowing glue.
[0074] In one embodiment, a glue overflow groove for accommodating excess epoxy resin glue during the lamination process is provided on the entire middle frame plate, including: a transverse glue overflow groove and a longitudinal glue overflow groove for accommodating excess epoxy resin glue during the lamination process are provided on the entire middle frame plate; wherein, the transverse glue overflow groove is provided perpendicular to the lamination direction, and the longitudinal glue overflow groove is provided parallel to the lamination direction.
[0075] When implementing it, Figure 4 As shown in the figure, the design of the horizontal and vertical overflow glue grooves is more convenient to accommodate the excess epoxy resin glue during the lamination process, ensuring the beauty of the electronic shelf label. There can be multiple horizontal overflow glue grooves, which can be set on the horizontal edge of the whole middle frame board or between every two rows of middle frames. There can be multiple vertical overflow glue grooves, which can be set on the side of the whole middle frame board or between every two columns of middle frames.
[0076] 3. Electrical component preparation, i.e. step 101 above:

[0078] In specific implementation, the related components of the electronic shelf label are welded to the PCB board to form a PCBA, the PCBA and the electronic paper display screen are crimped together through ACF, and then the battery is welded to complete the preparation of the electrical components. The PCBA and the electronic paper display screen are crimped and connected through the ACF process, which ensures the firmness of the electronic shelf label and further extends the service life of the electronic shelf label.
[0079] 4.PET pretreatment:
[0080] In one embodiment, the manufacturing method of the electronic shelf label may further include: pre-treating the first PET film and the second PET film.
[0081] In specific implementation, the PET pretreatment completes the cleaning of the PET film, so that the PET is more firmly bonded to the glue and the middle frame.
[0082] 5. Gluing, i.e., the above step 102: placing the middle frame on the first polyethylene terephthalate plastic PET film, the middle frame and the first PET film forming a first accommodation space (the first accommodation space can be a very small gap, in Figure 5 and Figure 6 Epoxy resin glue is injected into the first accommodation space to form a first epoxy resin glue sealing layer. Specifically, the PET rear film and the middle frame are placed on the working platform in sequence, the two parts are positioned through the positioning holes, and then epoxy resin glue is applied.
[0083] 6. Electrical component assembly, i.e., the above step 103: placing the electrical component into the middle frame of the above “5”, i.e., fixing one side of the battery of the electrical component on the first epoxy resin glue sealing layer.
[0084] 7. Gluing: After the bonding is completed, the middle frame and one side of the electronic paper display screen of the electrical component form a second accommodation space (the second accommodation space can be a very small gap, Figure 5 and Figure 6 not marked in the figure).
[0085] During specific implementation, glue is continued to be poured on the electrical component, and then the PET front film is placed, that is, a second PET film is placed on the side of the second epoxy resin glue sealing layer facing away from the electrical component (a second PET film is placed on the side of the second epoxy resin glue sealing layer facing away from the electrical component), and the front film is precisely aligned with the middle frame and the rear film through the same positioning columns.
[0086] 8. Rolling: After the front film is assembled in place, it is rolled to allow excess glue and bubbles to enter the glue overflow groove designed in the middle frame.
[0087] 9. Flat pressing: The components that have been rolled enter the flat pressing process. The middle frame and the front and rear PET films are more tightly combined during flat pressing, and the glue begins to solidify.
[0088] 10. Lamination and curing: After flattening, multiple product panels (full panels of electronic shelf labels) are stacked and placed, and fully cured at room temperature.
[0089] According to the introduction of "8-10" above, in one embodiment, the lamination process can be performed according to the following method:
[0090] After the second PET film is in place, a rolling operation is performed;
[0091] After the rolling operation, the flat pressing operation is performed;
[0092] After the flat pressing operation, the lamination operation is performed.
[0093] In specific implementation, the electronic shelf labels provided by the above-mentioned lamination treatment method are of high quality and firmness, and the service life is further extended.
[0094] 11. Whole machine CNC: After the glue is completely cured, each single electronic shelf label product in the component is milled out by CNC to complete the whole machine preparation.
[0095] In summary, the technical solution provided in this embodiment provides the following method:
