Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of thermal transfer electronic labels, in particular to a thermal transfer electronic label. Background Art

[0002] Thermal transfer uses a transfer film to print a pattern first, and then transfer it to the substrate by heating and pressurizing. It is mostly used for printing stainless steel, wood, leather, ceramics, textiles and plastics. The printed pattern is rich in layers, bright in color, and has small color difference, which can meet the needs of the designer and is suitable for mass production. The transfer process uses a thermal transfer machine to heat and pressurize at one time to transfer the exquisite pattern on the transfer film to the product surface. After molding, the ink layer is integrated with the product surface, which is realistic and beautiful, and can greatly improve the grade of the product. However, thermal transfer is limited by transfer technology and can only print patterns on flat or slightly curved surfaces. In dead corners or special-shaped surfaces, thermal transfer is difficult to achieve printing needs.

[0003] With the changes and development brought about by electrification, intelligence and lightweight, the number of wiring harnesses as the network body of circuits in the three major fields of automobiles, industry and electronics is increasing, and the performance requirements are getting higher and higher. As the identity of electronic tags, electronic tags are also given more special requirements. For example: automotive electronic tags need to have heat resistance, oil resistance, cold resistance and other characteristics; at the same time, they need to be able to adapt to high mechanical strength and high temperature environment; cable electronic tags are used to manage and identify cable lines and are widely used in various industrial fields. Choosing the right size of cable identification plate is the key to ensure that the identification plate can clearly display its identification information. Most of the existing electronic tags are printed by thermal transfer.

[0004] Whether the electronic tag is used on a car line or a cable line, it needs to be pasted or wrapped around the line. However, most of the existing pasting methods fix the electronic tag on the line. Since the material used for the electronic tag has a certain toughness, it is inconvenient to align it during the pasting process, resulting in the back of the electronic tag being exposed to the outside, which is easy to stick to dust in the air. Over time, the electronic tag will be damaged or contaminated. It is necessary to design a thermal transfer electronic label to solve the above-mentioned problems. Summary of the invention

[0005] In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the present invention provides a thermal transfer electronic label to solve the problem.
