Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of tire barcode technology, and in particular to a non-intaglio tire bead barcode for preventing cross-selling and tampering. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the only way to trace tire product information, besides installing chips for identification, is still through barcode recognition. And because of its low cost, ease of use, and intuitive information, barcode technology will remain the primary method for tire product information traceability in the future.

[0003] Traditional tire traceability barcodes are printed with carbon ribbon, which is easy to counterfeit and also easy to damage. For example, the barcode on the label surface can be cleaned with an corrosive solvent (such as acetone) or slightly sanded with fine sandpaper. Since the damage is limited to the surface layer of the label, the tire's airtightness will not be affected, but the identification information will be lost.

[0004] In addition, even if traditional barcode labels are not damaged by human intervention, their surfaces will still experience natural wear and tear over time.

[0005] The existing patent (publication number CN 210052424 U) describes a permanent, wear-resistant, and traceable vulcanized barcode label for tire bead, which to some extent solves the problem of natural wear and tear on the label from the tire rim. However, because the intaglio characters are present on the label surface, the following problems exist:

[0006] 1. It is easy to fill with plaster, making it difficult to identify;

[0007] 2. In order not to compromise the airtightness, the depth of the label intaglio is limited. Therefore, it can still be damaged by fine polishing with special tools (but the label itself will not be damaged).

[0008] 3. The barcode area cannot be protected. Due to the technical limitations of intaglio printing, it can only protect text or numbers. The barcode is still printed or printed with carbon ribbon, which is easy to damage. Once damaged, it cannot be digitally managed by a barcode scanner.

[0009] Existing patent (publication number CN 216719112 U) B. A tamper-proof tire bead vulcanized barcode label, while solving the problem of label damage to some extent, has the following drawbacks:

[0010] Because the label is formed by extruding tire rubber into the grooves of the characters, some harder rubber compounds may become uneven after extrusion, which may affect the airtightness of the tire bead to the rim.

[0011] The barcode area cannot be protected. The barcode in this solution can only be printed on the label surface by printing or ribbon printing, which is easy to damage. Once damaged, it cannot be digitally managed by a barcode scanner. Summary of the Invention

[0012] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problems existing in the prior art by proposing a non-intaglio type anti-counterfeiting and anti-tampering tire mouth barcode.

[0013] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0014] A non-intaglio type anti-counterfeiting and anti-tampering tire bit barcode includes a barcode information carrier layer, a vulcanized adhesive layer and a release film connected in sequence.

[0015] The barcode information carrier layer includes an integrally set transparent layer and a carrier layer, and the barcode information is set on the carrier layer.

[0016] Preferably, the transparent layer is a transparent polymer film with a thickness between 0.01 mm and 2 mm, and the carrier layer is a polymer film with a base color and a thickness between 0.005 mm and 1.5 mm.

[0017] Preferably, the carrier layer is a white polymer film with a thickness of 0.025 mm, and the transparent layer has a thickness of 0.1 mm.

[0018] Preferably, the transparent layer and the carrier layer are cured together with epoxy resin.

[0019] Preferably, the barcode information is generated by using an ultraviolet lithography machine, where the wavelength of the ultraviolet lithography machine passes through the transparent layer and reaches the carrier layer, generating photolithographic barcode information on the carrier layer.

[0020] Preferably, the release film is made of PET material with a thickness between 0.01mm and 2mm, and has an anti-stick silicone oil layer coated on its surface to protect the vulcanized adhesive layer.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0022] The label surface proposed in this invention is flat and smooth, with barcode information and graphic characters located in the center of the label body, achieving the following:

[0023] 1. No pollutants such as mortar or dust generated during use affect identification;

[0024] 2. The label surface is absolutely flat after vulcanization, eliminating any impact on the airtightness of the tire bead.

[0025] 3. It can protect barcodes, text, numbers, and patterns;

[0026] 4. Regardless of the tools used for fine polishing, the entire label body must be completely and severely damaged to render it unreadable. Once the label body is severely damaged, the airtightness of the tire bead to the rim will immediately fail, which serves as a deterrent to malicious vandals. Attached Figure Description

[0027] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the composition of a non-intaglio type tire bead barcode for preventing cross-selling and tampering, as proposed in this invention.

[0028] In the diagram: 1. Barcode information carrier layer; 2. Vulcanized adhesive layer; 3. Release film; 101. Transparent layer; 102. Carrier layer. Detailed Implementation

[0029] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Example

[0030] Reference Figure 1 A non-intaglio type anti-counterfeiting and anti-tampering tire tap barcode includes a barcode information carrier layer 1, a vulcanized adhesive layer 2 and a release film 3 connected in sequence.

[0031] The barcode information carrier layer 1 includes an integrally formed transparent layer 101 and a carrier layer 102, with the barcode information disposed on the carrier layer 102.

[0032] In this embodiment, the transparent layer 101 is a transparent polymer film with a thickness of 0.1 mm, and the carrier layer 102 is a white polymer film with a thickness of 0.025 mm. The polymer film is a flexible polyester PET film.

[0033] In this embodiment, the transparent layer 101 and the carrier layer 102 are cured together by epoxy resin. That is, after epoxy resin is applied between the transparent layer 101 and the carrier layer 102 and pressed together, it is baked at 80 degrees for 5 minutes and then cured at 40 degrees for 24 hours to complete the curing.

[0034] In this embodiment, the barcode information includes barcode, text, numbers, and patterns. The generation method is as follows: using an ultraviolet lithography machine, the wavelength of the ultraviolet lithography machine (wavelength between 100-400nm, 355nm can be used) passes through the transparent layer 101 and reaches the carrier layer 102, and photolithographic barcode information is generated on the carrier layer 102.

[0035] In this embodiment, the release film 3 is made of PET material with a thickness of 0.05mm, and its surface is coated with an anti-stick silicone oil layer to protect the vulcanized adhesive layer 2.

[0036] When using this product, the release film 3 must first be removed, and then the vulcanized adhesive layer 2 is pasted onto the tire bead. Through the vulcanization process, it is integrated with the tire. At this time, the barcode information carrier layer 1 is embedded in the tire surface. Since the graphic barcode information on the carrier layer 102 is generated by an ultraviolet lithography machine, the graphic is almost permanent (it can completely cover the entire service life of the tire). Under the protection of the transparent layer 101, it cannot be washed off with any corrosive solvent, and sharp objects such as blades cannot scrape off the graphic information. Only by using equipment such as a handwheel grinder can the entire label be completely destroyed, destroying the identity information. After this product is destroyed, because it is integrated with the tire, the airtightness of the tire bead to the rim will immediately fail, and the damage to the tire bead position can be seen with the naked eye, thus preventing the barcode from being destroyed.

[0037] In addition, compared to the existing patent (publication number CN 210052424 U) for a permanent wear-resistant and traceable tire bead vulcanized barcode label, its intaglio characters exist on the label surface, which has the following problems:

[0038] 1. It is easy to fill with plaster, making it difficult to identify;

[0039] 2. In order not to compromise the airtightness, the depth of the label intaglio is limited. Therefore, it can still be damaged by fine polishing with special tools (but the label itself will not be damaged).

[0040] 3. The barcode area cannot be protected. Due to the technical limitations of intaglio printing, it can only protect text or numbers. The barcode is still printed or printed with carbon ribbon, which is easy to damage. Once damaged, it cannot be digitally managed by a barcode scanner.

[0041] as well as:

[0042] Existing patent (publication number CN 216719112 U) B. A tamper-proof tire bead vulcanized barcode label, while solving the problem of label damage to some extent, has the following issues:

[0043] Because the label is formed by extruding tire rubber into the grooves, some harder rubber compounds may cause unevenness on the label surface after extrusion, which may affect the tire's airtightness.

[0044] The barcode area cannot be protected. The barcode in this solution can only be printed on the label surface by printing or ribbon printing, which is easy to damage. Once damaged, it cannot be digitally managed by a barcode scanner.

[0045] This product adopts an integrated design of transparent layer 101 and carrier layer 102, achieving:

[0046] 1. The product surface is smooth and flat, and the graphic barcode information is located in the middle of the label body. There will be no problem of the intaglio part being filled with mud powder, which would make it difficult to identify.

[0047] 2. The entire tag needs to be completely destroyed to destroy the identity information;

[0048] 3. The transparent layer 101 can protect the barcode, text, numbers, and patterns on the carrier layer 102;

[0049] 4. Using ultraviolet lithography, barcodes and text information are directly generated through photochemical and physical reactions, eliminating the need for carbon ribbon printing for barcodes. The white base film can directly display barcodes and text.

[0050] 5. The barcode and text information generated by ultraviolet lithography directly affects the cross-linking positions of the transparent layer 101 and the carrier layer 102, which can improve the effect of integral molding and improve the structural stability. Example

[0051] The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that:

[0052] In this embodiment, the transparent layer 101 and the carrier layer 102 are fused together by UV adhesive curing. The specific process is as follows: the pressed film is irradiated with an ultraviolet curing lamp (mercury lamp or LED lamp) for 5 to 10 seconds to complete the composite curing.

[0053] In this embodiment, the transparent layer 101 is a transparent polymer film with a thickness of 0.2 mm, and the carrier layer 102 is a light blue polymer film with a thickness of 0.05 mm.

[0054] In this embodiment, the release film 3 is made of PET material with a thickness of 0.05mm, and its surface is coated with an anti-stick silicone oil layer to protect the vulcanized adhesive layer 2.

[0055] The main difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 lies in the thickness design of the transparent layer 101, the carrier layer 102, and the release film 3, as well as the integrated manufacturing method of the transparent layer 101 and the carrier layer 102. There is no difference in the effect of use.

[0056] This embodiment also provides a non-intaglio type manufacturing process for anti-counterfeiting and anti-tampering tire bead barcodes, including the following steps:

[0057] Step 1: Combine a 0.1mm thick transparent PET film and a 0.025mm thick white PET film into one piece using either epoxy resin curing or UV adhesive curing.

[0058] Step 2: Apply vulcanized adhesive to its surface;

[0059] Step 3: The adhesive is bonded to a 0.05mm thick release film 3 using a vulcanized adhesive.

[0060] Step four: Use a slitting machine to cut it into the required size;

[0061] Step 5: Die-cut the material to the required size using a die-cutting machine;

[0062] Step six: Perform ultraviolet lithography on the die-cut semi-finished product to obtain the finished product.

[0063] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in the present invention, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention, should be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
