[0025] ​The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, so that those skilled in the art can better understand and implement the present invention. However, the embodiments described are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0026] Reference Figures 1 to 5 As shown, an embodiment of the method for preparing the temperature-responsive structural color film of the present invention includes a PMMA film and an auxiliary cutting device. The auxiliary cutting device includes a base plate 1, a power pressure plate 2 is disposed above the base plate, and the power pressure plate and the base plate are connected by a first guide component 3 to ensure that the relative position between the power pressure plate and the base plate in the axial direction is fixed and that they can be raised and lowered. A closed-loop cutting blade 4 is fixedly disposed at the bottom of the power pressure plate. The cutting blade is designed according to the shape to be cut. A pressing plate 5 is disposed inside the cutting blade. A second guide component 6 is disposed between the pressing plate and the power pressure plate for moving and guiding and avoiding obstacles. An annular pressure plate 7 is also disposed on the outer periphery of the cutting blade. A third guide component 8 is disposed between the annular pressure plate and the power pressure plate.

[0027] In use, the PMMA film is first bonded to the stack of structural color films. This can be done with the help of adhesive or by using the electrostatic bonding effect of the PMMA film to fix it, thus obtaining the transfer body.

[0028] The transfer body is then placed between the power pressure plate and the base plate, with the periphery of the transfer body located below the annular pressure plate;

[0029] The auxiliary cutting device is started, and the power pressure plate descends. During the entire descent process, the annular pressure plate first presses the transfer body onto the base plate, and then the pressing plate presses the transfer body onto the base plate. The two work together to fix the entire transfer body from the outside and the middle. Finally, the cutting blade works with the base plate to cut the transfer body. Since the entire body is fixed in position from the outside to the inside, there will be no pulling problem during cutting, resulting in high cutting quality and obtaining a semi-finished film.

[0030] The semi-finished film can be stored for later use, or the PMMA film can be directly removed to obtain a structural color film of the target shape. When removing the PMMA film, depending on the material of the target material, alcohol can be dropped onto the surface of the PMMA film of the semi-finished film. Taking advantage of the slight solubility of PMMA film in alcohol, the PMMA film can be removed. After the semi-finished film is transferred to the substrate surface, i.e., the target surface, the PMMA film can be removed again with alcohol.

[0031] To facilitate cutting, a lower die groove 9 is provided on the base plate corresponding to the cutting blade to improve cutting quality. To facilitate quick engagement between the cutting blade and the lower die groove, a mounting groove is provided on the base plate. A protrusion with the same shape as the inner wall of the cutting blade is provided in the mounting groove. The protrusion is locked in the mounting groove, and the protrusion and the mounting groove cooperate to form the lower die groove. When the cutting blade is replaced, the protrusion can also be quickly replaced.

[0032] An adapter frame 10 is also provided above the power pressure plate. The adapter frame is fixed to the power pressure plate by a connecting column 11. The adapter frame does not affect the movement of the guide assembly during the cutting process. The adapter frame is connected to the power output end. Since the annular pressure plate presses the transfer body on the outside and is also the first part to contact the transfer body, a spring 12 is sleeved on the third guide assembly between the annular pressure plate and the power pressure plate. The two ends abut against the annular pressure plate and the power pressure plate, respectively. After contact and during the cutting process, the annular pressure plate presses the transfer body with its own weight, and at the same time, it applies pressure to the transfer body through the extrusion force after the spring deformation, thereby ensuring that the transfer body does not shift.

[0033] This method, through the combination of PMMA film and auxiliary cutting device, can greatly improve the cutting quality of the film, thereby meeting the needs of products that require localized film application.

[0034] The above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments provided to fully illustrate the present invention, and the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art based on the present invention are all within the scope of protection of the present invention. The scope of protection of the present invention is defined by the claims.
