Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of reflective film production technology, specifically a production process for reflective film for license plates of new energy vehicles. Background Technology
[0002] Reflective film is a pre-formed, thin-film retroreflective material that can be applied directly. It is manufactured using glass bead technology, microprism technology, synthetic resin technology, thin-film technology, coating technology, and micro-replication technology. During production, the reflective film needs to be air-dried to allow for easy winding.
[0003] The reflective film processing device described in patent number CN220083566U has the following problems during use:
[0004] (1) The reflective film cannot be preheated. If the temperature difference of the reflective film is too large, the reflective film will shrink and deform.
[0005] (2) The tilt angle is to one side, which makes it impossible to effectively blow and clean. Summary of the Invention
[0006] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a production process for reflective film for license plates of new energy vehicles, solving the problems in reflective film production.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a manufacturing process for a reflective film for license plates of new energy vehicles, comprising the following steps:
[0008] Step 1: Film formation. Use release paper as a carrier to form a three-layer composite film, and dry it using a drying device.
[0009] Step 2: Bead pressing, pressing the glass microspheres into shape;
[0010] Step 3: Apply adhesive. Apply pressure-sensitive adhesive to obtain the finished product.
[0011] As a further aspect of the present invention: the drying process in step one using a drying device includes the following steps:
[0012] A1. Preheat the reflective film. Some of the hot air in the drying box enters the preheating box. The reflective film is transported to the feeding preheating box. The setting of multiple air vents allows for heat exchange with the outside, forming a gradually increasing temperature step to preheat the reflective film.
[0013] A2. The reflective film is conveyed into the drying chamber for drying and purging. The air outlets on the two V-shaped air outlet pipes are used for purging. While drying, impurities on the surface are gradually blown to both sides of the reflective film and accumulate. The movement of the double-rod cylinder drives the movement of the two guide frames, which in turn drives the two air outlet pipes to adjust their angle.
[0014] A3. The scraper removes the dirt accumulated on both sides of the reflective film. The drive cylinder moves the cleaning brush to sweep the dirt on the scraper surface into the collection box for recycling. Then the drive cylinder drives the cleaning brush to reset. At this time, the remaining dirt that has not been cleaned is scraped into the concave collection groove for recycling, preventing it from falling onto the surface of the reflective film.
[0015] As a further aspect of the present invention: the multiple vents in the preheating box of A1 allow for heat exchange with the outside environment, forming a gradually increasing temperature gradient to preheat the reflective film step by step.
[0016] As a further aspect of the present invention: during drying and purging in A2, the air outlets on the two V-shaped air outlet pipes are used for purging, and while drying, impurities on the surface are gradually blown to both sides of the reflective film to accumulate.
[0017] As a further aspect of the present invention: In A2, the movement of a double-rod cylinder drives the movement of two guide frames, and the movement of the two guide frames drives the adjustment of the angle of the two air outlet pipes, thereby adjusting the tilt angle of the air outlet pipes.
[0018] As a further aspect of the present invention: In A3, the cleaning brush is driven by a driving cylinder to scrape the dirt on the surface of the scraper into the collection box for recycling. Then, the driving cylinder drives the cleaning brush to reset. At this time, the remaining dirt that has not been cleaned is scraped into the concave collection groove for recycling, preventing it from falling onto the surface of the reflective film.
[0019] The drying equipment includes a drying chamber and a feeding preheating chamber located on one side of the drying chamber. Both the drying chamber and the feeding preheating chamber have channels for the reflective film to pass through, and conveying rollers for transporting the reflective film are rotatably installed within these channels. The drying chamber has an air outlet assembly for cleaning and drying the reflective film. The air outlet assembly includes a double-rod cylinder fixed inside the drying chamber and two air outlet pipes symmetrically arranged inside the drying chamber. Guide frames are rotatably connected to both ends of the piston rod of the double-rod cylinder. The two guide frames are slidably connected to the surfaces of the two air outlet pipes, respectively. Guide rods are fixed to the contact surfaces of the guide frames and the air outlet pipes. Guide grooves adapted to the surfaces of the guide rods are formed on the surfaces of the air outlet pipes. The two air outlet pipes are connected by a connector. An elastic sealing strip is provided at the connection between the connector and the air outlet duct. This elastic sealing strip ensures sufficient sealing while allowing the air outlet duct to rotate normally. The surface of the air outlet duct has multiple air outlets connected to the hot air source inlet duct. These air outlets are evenly distributed along the sides of the air outlet duct. The left side of the connector is designed with a V-shaped bevel. A guide rail is fixedly connected to the bottom of the drying chamber. Sliding sleeves are fixedly connected to the surfaces of both air outlet ducts, slidingly connected to the guide rail. The guide rail and sliding sleeves limit and support the rotation direction of the air outlet ducts, making their rotation more stable. The guide rail is an arc centered on the leftmost end of the connector. A scraper is fixedly connected to the side of the drying box. A drive cylinder is fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the drying box. A cleaning brush that abuts against the top of the scraper is fixedly connected to one end of the piston rod of the drive cylinder. A collection box located on the side of the scraper is fixedly connected to one side of the drying box. A concave collection groove is opened at one end of the scraper. Multiple ventilation holes are opened from left to right on the top of the preheating box, and the diameter of the ventilation holes gradually decreases from left to right. The preheating box is designed so that some of the hot air in the drying box enters the preheating box to preheat the incoming reflective film, preventing the reflective film from being directly delivered into the drying box, where the temperature changes drastically, causing the surface to shrink and affecting the quality of the finished product. Through the multiple ventilation holes, heat exchange with the outside is carried out, forming a gradually increasing temperature gradient, which can effectively prevent the reflective film from being directly delivered into the drying box. The reflective film is gradually preheated and then conveyed to the drying chamber for drying. During use, the reflective film is sequentially preheated in the feeding preheating box and then conveyed into the drying chamber. It is then blown clean through the air outlets on two V-shaped air ducts. While drying, impurities on the surface are gradually blown to both sides of the reflective film to accumulate. After this gradual process, a scraper removes dirt and excessive coating. During drying, the film can be leveled. A double-cylinder drives two guide frames, which in turn adjust the angle of the two air ducts. Adjusting the angle of the air ducts allows for the removal of residual dirt from the scraper surface. A drive cylinder then moves a cleaning brush to scrape the dirt from the scraper surface into a collection box for recycling.Then, the drive cylinder moves the cleaning brush to its original position. At this point, any remaining dirt is scraped into the recessed collection groove for recycling, preventing it from falling onto the reflective film surface. This effectively cleans the scraper without interfering with normal use.
[0020] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:
[0021] 1. This invention uses air outlets on two V-shaped air ducts to blow away impurities on the surface of the reflective film while drying it. As the film accumulates, dirt and excessive coatings can be scraped off with a scraper. The film can be leveled during drying, and the angle is adjustable over a wide range, making it more widely applicable.
[0022] 2. This invention, through the setting of multiple vents, allows for heat exchange with the outside environment, forming a gradually increasing temperature gradient. This effectively preheats the reflective film step by step, preventing the reflective film from being directly transported into the drying oven where drastic temperature changes could cause surface shrinkage and affect the quality of the finished product.

[0042] The drying equipment includes a drying chamber 1 and a feeding preheating chamber 2 located on one side of the drying chamber 1. Both the drying chamber 1 and the feeding preheating chamber 2 have channels for the reflective film to pass through, and conveying rollers 15 are rotatably installed within these channels to transport the reflective film.
