AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Traditional reflective films are susceptible to moisture in outdoor environments, resulting in aging, resulting in seal damage, moisture penetrates into the film, reducing the reflective effect, and cannot be recognized by the naked eye, resulting in untimely replacement of traffic signs, posing safety hazards.

Method used

A reflective film including a protective layer, a reflective layer and a bottom layer is designed. The reflective layer consists of a base layer and inlaid glass microbeads, a reserved air layer, and a metal plating layer on the lower spherical surface of the glass microbeads. The base layer is coated with an indicator layer made of anhydrous sodium carbonate. When moisture penetrates into the indicator layer, it shows blue color, which is convenient for naked eyes to identify.

Benefits of technology

Through the water absorption display of the indicator layer, roadside workers can quickly identify whether the reflective film of the traffic sign is damp, replace it in time, improve work efficiency, and ensure traffic safety.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of reflective films, in particular to a reflective film capable of quickly identifying moisture. Background Art

[0002] Reflective film is a kind of retro-reflective material that has been made into a film and can be directly used. It is made by using glass bead technology, micro-prism technology, synthetic resin technology, film technology, coating technology and micro-replication technology. It is widely used in various road traffic safety signs, traffic safety facilities and other fields, and can play an obvious safety warning role.

[0003] Most reflective films are used in outdoor environments. Traditional reflective films lack waterproof design, which results in the reflective film being soaked by rain and the rainwater seeping into the inside of the reflective film, reducing the reflective effect of the reflective film. Referring to the Chinese utility model patent with authorization announcement number CN219349175U, a waterproof reflective film is disclosed, which reduces the occurrence of water entering the inside of the reflective film through a waterproof surface layer, and at the same time uses a water guide groove to guide the flow of water on the surface of the waterproof surface layer, reducing the amount of water staying on the waterproof surface layer, and further reducing the probability of water entering the waterproof surface layer. However, this kind of reflective film still has shortcomings. The reflective film is easily affected by the environment and ages, resulting in the destruction of the sealing, causing water to seep into the film, reducing the reflective effect, and blurring the traffic safety warning. The water seeping into the film cannot be identified by the naked eye, resulting in untimely replacement of traffic signs, and there are safety hazards. Summary of the invention

[0004] The invention provides a reflective film capable of quickly identifying moisture, so as to overcome the problem that the naked eye cannot identify whether moisture has penetrated into the film in the existing reflective film.

[0005] The present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A reflective film capable of quickly identifying moisture, comprising a protective layer, a reflective layer and a bottom layer stacked in sequence from top to bottom, wherein the reflective layer is composed of a base layer and a plurality of glass beads embedded on the surface of the base layer, an air layer is reserved between the protective layer and the base layer, a metal coating layer is evaporated on the lower hemisphere surface of the glass beads, and an indication layer is coated on the surface of the base layer away from the bottom layer, wherein the indication layer is mainly made of anhydrous sodium carbonate.

[0007] Furthermore, the thickness of the indicator layer is 15-25 μm.

[0008] Furthermore, a waterproof layer is compounded on the surface of the protective layer, and the waterproof layer is a hydrophobic silicon dioxide layer.

[0009] Furthermore, the bottom layer is composed of an adhesive layer and a release layer, and the adhesive layer is bonded to a side of the base layer away from the air layer.

[0010] Furthermore, the metal plating layer is a silver plating layer or an aluminum plating layer.

[0011] Furthermore, the base layer is made of a photocurable resin material, and the photocurable resin is one or a mixture of two of epoxy acrylate, polyurethane acrylate, polyester acrylate and polyether acrylate.

[0012] Furthermore, the protective layer is a PVC film.

[0013] From the above description of the structure of the present invention, it can be seen that compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages: an indicator layer is provided in the reflective film of the present application, and the indicator layer is mainly made of anhydrous sodium carbonate. When water penetrates into the air layer, the anhydrous sodium carbonate absorbs water and displays blue. Road maintenance workers usually work during the day and can quickly identify with the naked eye whether the retro-reflective effect of the reflective film of the traffic sign is reduced, which is conducive to timely replacement, improves work efficiency, and provides protection for people's safe travel.
