Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of highly secure or high - value - added printed matter. Specifically, it relates to a pattern optical anti - counterfeiting structure, a manufacturing method thereof, and coins and badges. Background Art

[0002] Currently, in order to prevent forgery by means such as scanning and photocopying, diffraction light - variable images (such as holograms, dynamic diffraction patterns, etc.) optical anti - counterfeiting elements are widely used in various highly secure or high - value - added printed matter such as banknotes, ID cards, and product packaging, and very good results have been achieved. For example, large - denomination euro banknotes use diffraction light - variable image hot - stamping marks, small - denomination banknotes use diffraction light - variable image hot - stamping wide strips, Chinese yuan banknotes except for the 1 - yuan note use diffraction light - variable image windowed security threads, Chinese UnionPay credit cards use diffraction light - variable image hot - stamping marks, and important documents such as Chinese ID cards, driver's licenses, and passports also use diffraction light - variable image anti - counterfeiting technology. So far, most banknotes, credit cards, passports and other security cards in the world use diffraction light - variable image anti - counterfeiting technology.

[0003] With the increasing popularity of diffraction light - variable image technology, this technology has also been widely applied in general commodities and packaging. For example, the packaging of cigarettes, wines, medicines, etc., and even the labels of textiles and toys use this technology. However, due to technical limitations, diffraction light - variable image anti - counterfeiting technology has not been able to be maturely applied to coins and badges yet.

[0004] Therefore, how to propose a new pattern optical anti - counterfeiting structure that can be applied to coins and badges has become an urgent problem to be solved at present. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The present invention aims to provide a pattern optical anti - counterfeiting structure to solve the problems existing in the prior art or related technologies.

[0006] Therefore, the first object of the present invention is to provide a pattern optical anti - counterfeiting structure.

[0007] The second object of the present invention is to provide a manufacturing method of the pattern optical anti - counterfeiting structure for manufacturing the above - mentioned pattern optical anti - counterfeiting structure.

[0008] The third object of the present invention is to provide a coin or badge including the above - mentioned pattern optical anti - counterfeiting structure or manufactured by using the manufacturing method of the above - mentioned pattern optical anti - counterfeiting structure.

[0009] To achieve the above object, the technical solution of the present invention provides a pattern optical anti-counterfeiting structure for coins and medals. The pattern optical anti-counterfeiting structure includes: a relief pattern provided on the coin or medal; the relief pattern includes a planar relief pattern or a three-dimensional relief pattern or a combination of a planar relief pattern and a three-dimensional relief pattern; the outline of the relief pattern includes characters and / or graphic elements, and the outline of the relief pattern is filled with a grating microstructure with preset graphic elements; wherein, the grating microstructure enables the relief pattern to present a three-dimensional relief pattern with different colors when viewed from different viewing angles.

[0010] According to the pattern optical anti-counterfeiting structure provided by the present invention, which is used on coins and medals, the pattern optical anti-counterfeiting structure includes a relief pattern composed of characters and graphic elements. The relief pattern includes a planar relief pattern or a three-dimensional relief pattern or a combination of a planar relief pattern and a three-dimensional relief pattern. That is to say, the pattern optical anti-counterfeiting structure can be a single planar relief pattern, or a single three-dimensional relief pattern, or a relief pattern formed by combining a planar relief pattern and a three-dimensional relief pattern. Therefore, the anti-counterfeiting structure of this application has multiple forms for anti-counterfeiting. The outline of the relief pattern is composed of characters and / or graphic elements, and a grating microstructure with preset graphic elements is filled within the outline of the relief pattern, that is, the grating microstructure itself also presents a preset graphic and shape. By filling the grating microstructure, on the one hand, the pattern optical anti-counterfeiting structure can present a three-dimensional relief pattern with different colors when viewed from different viewing angles. Compared with the existing pattern optical anti-counterfeiting structure with a single effect, a shallow relief depth with an optical anti-counterfeiting effect, and a general three-dimensional relief effect, this application can not only enhance the three-dimensional effect of the relief, produce a richer optical visual effect, but also combine planar relief and three-dimensional relief for anti-counterfeiting, presenting a unique visual effect. This combined relief is extremely difficult to forge, so it increases the difficulty of replication and forgery, making the anti-counterfeiting effect better, realizing that the anti-counterfeiting technology is difficult to replicate, and meeting the anti-counterfeiting requirements of high-security products. Therefore, it has made outstanding progress in the field of anti-counterfeiting.

With this setting, the planar relief pattern can be set on the three-dimensional relief pattern, thus forming a relief pattern combining the planar relief pattern and the three-dimensional relief pattern. This kind of relief pattern is extremely difficult to forge, so it is convenient to enhance the anti-counterfeiting ability.

[0015] In the above technical solution, magnifying the pattern optical anti-counterfeiting structure can present at least one of the following or a combination thereof: characters, graphic elements, planar relief patterns, three-dimensional relief patterns, grating microstructures.

For example, it can be determined whether the graphics and texts presented by the grating microstructure match the preset graphics and shapes for anti-counterfeiting judgment.

[0017] Among them, when observing the pattern optical anti-counterfeiting structure by a certain magnification, it can be seen that these microtexts or elements are composed of smaller grating microstructures.

[0020] In the above technical solution, the grating period of the grating microstructure is greater than or equal to 0.01 mm and less than or equal to 0.3 mm; and / or the grating groove depth of the grating microstructure is greater than or equal to 50 nm and less than or equal to 350 nm.

With this setting, by limiting the grating period of the grating microstructure and the grating groove depth of the grating microstructure within a certain range, the effect achieved by the pattern optical anti-counterfeiting structure can be guaranteed.

[0022] In any of the above technical solutions, the preset graphic elements include at least one of the following or a combination thereof: text, graphic elements, planar relief patterns, and three-dimensional relief patterns.

[0023] In this technical solution, the preset graphic elements include at least one of the following or a combination thereof: text, graphic elements, planar relief patterns, and three-dimensional relief patterns. That is to say, it is possible to fill text, graphic elements, planar relief patterns, and three-dimensional relief patterns within the outline of the relief pattern, thereby forming a more complex relief pattern, and further increasing the difficulty of imitating the relief pattern.

The relief pattern 2 includes a planar relief pattern or a three-dimensional relief pattern or a combination of a planar relief pattern and a three-dimensional relief pattern. That is to say, the pattern optical anti-counterfeiting structure can be a single planar relief pattern, or a single three-dimensional relief pattern, or a relief pattern 2 formed by combining a planar relief pattern and a three-dimensional relief pattern. Therefore, the anti-counterfeiting structure of this application has various forms for anti-counterfeiting. The outline of the relief pattern 2 is composed of characters and / or graphic elements, and a grating microstructure with preset graphic elements is filled inside the outline of the relief pattern 2, that is, the grating microstructure itself also has a preset graphic and shape. By filling the grating microstructure, on the one hand, the pattern optical anti-counterfeiting structure can present a three-dimensional relief pattern 2 with different colors when viewed from different viewing angles. Compared with the existing pattern optical anti-counterfeiting structure with a single effect, a shallow relief depth with optical anti-counterfeiting effect, and a general three-dimensional relief effect, this application can not only enhance the three-dimensional effect of the relief, produce a richer optical visual effect, but also combine planar relief and three-dimensional relief for anti-counterfeiting. This combined relief is extremely difficult to forge, so the difficulty of copying and forging is increased, making the anti-counterfeiting effect better, realizing that the anti-counterfeiting technology is difficult to copy, and meeting the anti-counterfeiting requirements of high-security products.
