[0002] TPU printing is an evolution of modern printing technology. Its main raw material is thermoplastic polyurethane material, which has the characteristics of high strength, wear resistance, temperature resistance, flexibility, etc., while TPU grating printing film is a grating layer covered on the surface of the printing film layer. The thermal stability of TPU material is poor, and it is easy to shrink and deform during the grating rolling process, resulting in the difficulty in controlling the grating structure precision, low yield rate and high production cost. In view of this, we propose a TPU grating printing film and its preparation method. Summary of the invention

[0004] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solutions: a TPU grating printing film, comprising a bottom printing layer, an intermediate TPU grating layer attached to one side of the bottom printing layer, a surface BOPET layer arranged on the side of the intermediate TPU grating layer away from the bottom printing layer, the surface BOPET layer and the intermediate TPU grating layer are fixed by heating and compounding, and an anti-UV layer is arranged between the intermediate TPU grating layer and the surface BOPET layer.

[0005] Preferably, the anti-UV layer includes a plurality of raised portions distributed in an array, and the raised portions are arranged on the side of the middle TPU grating layer close to the surface BOPET layer by rolling. A corresponding plurality of recessed portions are arranged on one side of the plurality of raised portions, and the plurality of recessed portions are in the same position as the plurality of raised portions.

[0006] Preferably, the recessed portion is on the surface BOPET layer, and the cross-sections of the recessed portion and the raised portion are the same shape.

[0007] Preferably, a shrinkage gap is provided between the recessed portion and the raised portion before being combined.

[0008] Preferably, the raised portion and the recessed portion are semicircular in shape.

[0009] Preferred;

[0010] S1. Pre-preparation process

[0011] The surface BOPET layer is cured by UV roller calendering to form a concave prism structure and rolled up;

[0012] S2. Processing procedures

[0013] The TPU material is melt-extruded and compounded with the surface BOPET layer with a concave prism structure, and a convex prism structure corresponding to the concave prism of the surface BOPET layer is formed on the TPU layer to form an intermediate TPU grating layer, thereby achieving a 3D grating effect;

[0014] Finally, print on the bottom print layer.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] The present invention achieves processing stability and reduces the possibility of deformation by fitting the raised portion and the recessed portion together and designing the gap between the recessed portion and the raised portion, and then heats and compounds the recessed portion so that the size of the recessed portion is approximately larger than the raised portion, which shrinks and fits tightly with the raised portion, and achieves different grating effects by designing recessed and raised portions in different shapes. Finally, melt extrusion is used instead of grating rolling to further solve the problem of shrinkage and deformation in the preparation process of the TPU grating film, thereby improving the grating accuracy and production efficiency and reducing the production cost.
