Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a method for manufacturing a micro-prismatic reflective film using a combination of three triangular pyramids and a mold thereof. Background Art

[0002] A triangular pyramid widely used on the market has an equilateral triangle base and three reflecting surfaces at 90-degree angles to each other. Figure 1 As shown; Another triangular pyramid has an isosceles triangle base and a corner reflector structure with three reflecting surfaces at 90 degrees to each other.

[0003] Currently, the above-mentioned microprismatic reflective film has only one optical design variable, and it is difficult to simultaneously improve the retroreflective performance at different incident angles and observation angles (especially wide angles), that is, at different azimuth angles, as well as to achieve a balance between the retroreflective performance at different incident angles and observation angles (especially wide angles and small incident angles), and a balance between the retroreflective performance at different azimuth angles (such as 0 degrees, 90 degrees, and 180 degrees).

[0004] In the prior art, to achieve isotropic uniformity in the retroreflective performance of reflective sheeting at different azimuth angles, four types of reflective sheeting nickel molds are typically manufactured by mechanically interlocking and splicing two reflective sheeting nickel molds with different orientations, one at 0 degrees and the other at 90 degrees, to create a roller master mold. This method achieves control of the retroreflective performance of the reflective sheeting (e.g., improving wide-angle performance) by slightly adjusting an angle to deviate from the standard corner cone reflector structure. However, this method is very cumbersome to manufacture and is subject to mechanical splicing errors, making it difficult to achieve the desired effect.

[0005] In addition, although the retroreflective performance of the microprismatic reflective film using full prisms (US 3M) is 50% higher than that of the microprismatic reflective film using triangular pyramids (or the effective reflection area of ​​the triangular pyramid reflective film is 66.67% of the effective reflection area of ​​the full pyramid reflective film), the mold structure of the full pyramid reflective film (such as Chinese patent numbers 2015107772604 and 201811202555.9) is very complex and difficult to manufacture. In addition, due to mold manufacturing errors, the reflective performance is much lower than expected, which limits its promotion and application.

[0006] In response to the above-mentioned shortcomings, the applicant applied for "Retro-reflective microprism array structure and its manufacturing method" (Announcement No. CN 117930406 A) in March 2024 and "Manufacturing method of microprismatic reflective film with double triangular pyramid combination structure and its mold" (Announcement No. CN118759624B) in September 2024.

[0007] Among them, the “retro-reflective microprism array structure and its manufacturing method” is more convenient to manufacture than patents 2015107772604 and 201811202555.9, avoids the difficulty of secondary clamping and special-shaped surface processing, and ensures the quality of the finished product. However, when making through holes on the second substrate in the processing process, it is necessary to drill holes one by one (such as Figure 1 As shown in the figure, the microprismatic reflective sheeting is processed by wire cutting, but the processing steps are still relatively cumbersome, and the pyramids formed by the processing are all regular triangular pyramids with the same inclination angle. The optical design variable of the microprismatic reflective sheeting is only one, and it is difficult to obtain different incident angles and observation angles. That is, such a microprismatic reflective sheeting design can meet the performance requirements of Class IV reflective sheeting, but when used for Class V reflective sheeting, the retroreflection coefficient cannot meet the standard requirements under the conditions of large observation angles and large incident angles.

[0008] Among them, the "Manufacturing method of micro-prismatic reflective film with a double triangular pyramid combination structure and its mold" proposes using two tools with tool design angles of α and β to process two micro-prismatic reflective films with a triangular pyramid combination structure on the same mold substrate. After using the first tool with a tool angle of α to process the large triangular pyramid, the second tool with a tool angle of β is used for processing. According to the design requirements, the tool orientation is adjusted so that the inclination angles of the three corner cone surfaces of the central triangular pyramid are all β / 2. At this time, the inclination angles of the two corner cone surfaces of the corner triangular pyramid are α / 2, and the inclination angle of the third corner cone surface in the middle is β / 2. Although the wide-angle performance of the reflective film can be optimized to a certain extent by adjusting the angle variables of the triangular pyramid located in the center, or the performance of the reflective film at 0 degrees and 90 degrees can be optimized to a certain extent, the micro-prismatic reflective film obtained therefrom still has the disadvantage of insufficient freedom in optical design optimization. Summary of the Invention

[0009] In view of the above-mentioned problems, the purpose of the present invention is to propose a method for manufacturing a microprismatic reflective film and a mold thereof using a combination of three triangular pyramids.

[0015] Preferably, α=70.50 degrees, β=70.36 degrees, and γ=0.5*(α+β)=70.43 degrees.

[0016] The present invention provides a method for manufacturing a mold for a microprismatic reflective film using a combination of three triangular pyramids, which is used to manufacture the mold for the microprismatic reflective film using a combination of three triangular pyramids as described above, and is characterized in that:

[0017] The mold base is installed on a workbench, which can drive the mold base to move along the horizontal X-axis and Y-axis. The B-axis turntable on the workbench can drive the mold base to rotate around the normal B-axis of the mold base. Above the mold base is a spindle parallel to the upper surface of the mold base and a flying cutter disk fixedly connected to the spindle. The flying cutter disk is equipped with a tool, which can rotate around the Y-axis driven by the spindle. The specific steps of manufacturing are as follows:

[0018] Step 1: Rotate the mold base on the B-axis turntable to 0 degrees (or 180 degrees) and use the first type of tool with a tool angle of α installed on the fly cutter disc to machine the two side cone surfaces of the parallelogram unit, namely, the cone surface A101 of the triangular pyramid A1, the cone surface A201 of the triangular pyramid A2, the cone surface C101 of the triangular pyramid C1, and the cone surface C201 of the triangular pyramid C2. The inclination angle is α / 2. The first type of tool is a symmetrical tool with the same inclination angle on both sides.

[0019] Step 2: Rotate the mold base material on the B-axis turntable to 120 degrees (or 300 degrees), and use the first type of tool with a tool angle of α installed on the fly cutter disc to machine the other two cone surfaces of the parallelogram unit, namely, the cone surface A102 of the triangular pyramid A1, the cone surface A301 of the triangular pyramid A3, the cone surface C301 of the triangular pyramid C3, and the cone surface C202 of the triangular pyramid C2, whose inclination angle is also α / 2;

[0020] Step 3: Rotate the mold base material on the B-axis turntable to an angle of 60 degrees (or 240 degrees), and use the first type of tool with a tool angle of α installed on the fly cutter disc to process the two diagonal cone surfaces of the parallelogram unit (1), namely, the cone surface A202 of the triangular pyramid A2, the cone surface A302 of the triangular pyramid A3, the cone surface C302 of the triangular pyramid C3, and the cone surface C102 of the triangular pyramid C1, whose inclination angle is also α / 2;

[0021] Step 4: Rotate the mold base on the B-axis turntable to 0 degrees (or 180 degrees), and replace it with a second tool with a tool angle of γ=0.5* (α+β) installed on the fly cutter disc to form the pyramid surface B001 of triangular pyramid B and the pyramid surface C303 of triangular pyramid C3, with an inclination angle of β / 2; at the same time, form the pyramid surface A303 of triangular pyramid A3 and the pyramid surface A401 of triangular pyramid A4, with an inclination angle of α / 2; the second tool is an asymmetric tool, with an inclination angle of α / 2 on one side and β / 2 on the other side;

[0022] Step 5: Rotate the mold base on the B-axis turntable to 120 degrees (or 300 degrees) and use a second tool with a tool angle of γ=0.5* (α+β) mounted on the fly cutter disc to form the pyramidal surface B002 of triangular pyramid B and the pyramidal surface C103 of triangular pyramid C1, with an inclination angle of β / 2. Simultaneously, form the pyramidal surface A203 of triangular pyramid A2 and the pyramidal surface A402 of triangular pyramid A4, with an inclination angle of α / 2.

[0023] Step 6: Finally, the mold base on the B-axis turntable is rotated to 60 degrees (or 240 degrees). A second tool with a tool angle of γ = 0.5* (α + β) mounted on the fly cutter disc is used to form the pyramidal surface B003 of triangular pyramid B and the pyramidal surface C203 of triangular pyramid C2, with an inclination angle of β / 2. At the same time, the pyramidal surface A103 of triangular pyramid A1 and the pyramidal surface A403 of triangular pyramid A4 are formed, with an inclination angle of α / 2.

[0024] At this point, the mold for the microprismatic reflective film composed of three different triangular pyramid structures, namely, triangular pyramid A with an inclination angle of α / 2, triangular pyramid B with an inclination angle of β / 2, and triangular pyramid C with inclination angles of α / 2, α / 2, and β / 2, has been processed and formed.

[0025] The present invention has the following technical advantages.

[0026] From an optical design perspective, increased optical design freedom means that optical systems can simultaneously meet performance indicators for a wider range of different application conditions. For high-performance Class V reflective sheeting, improving its wide-angle performance at large observation angles, wide angles of incidence, and performance at both 90-degree and 0-degree azimuth orientations, as well as their optimization and balance, has always been a focus of research and development in Class V reflective sheeting technology. The reflective sheeting of the present invention comprises three triangular pyramids: a triangular pyramid A with a pyramidal surface inclination angle of α / 2, a triangular pyramid B with a pyramidal surface inclination angle of β / 2, and a "hybrid" triangular pyramid C with three pyramidal surface inclination angles of α / 2, α / 2, and β / 2, respectively. This achieves design freedom for the three triangular pyramids, with the area proportions of the three triangular pyramids A, B, and C being 50%, 12.5%, and 37.5%, respectively. This allows for optimal performance optimization for different application conditions, thereby achieving wide-angle performance improvements unattainable with conventional microprismatic reflective sheeting with triangular pyramid unit structures or dual triangular pyramid combination structures, as well as overall optimization and balance of comprehensive performance.

[0054] The specific processing method for the mold used to manufacture the aforementioned microprismatic reflective film using a combination of three triangular pyramids is as follows.

[0055] Example 1, as Figure 4 、 5 As shown, the mold base K1 is horizontally mounted on a workbench K2. The workbench can drive the mold base to move along the horizontal X-axis and Y-axis, and the B-axis turntable on the workbench can drive the mold base to rotate around the normal B-axis of the mold base. Above the mold base is a spindle K3 parallel to the upper surface of the mold base and a flying cutter disk K4 fixedly connected to the spindle. The spindle K3 can be driven by an existing machine tool. The flying cutter disk is equipped with a tool K5, which can rotate around the Y-axis driven by the spindle. The specific steps of manufacturing are as follows:

[0056] Step 1: Rotate the mold base on the B-axis turntable to 0 degrees (or 180 degrees) (i.e. Figure 9 As shown in the figure), the first type of tool with a tool angle α installed on the fly cutter disc is used to machine the two side cone surfaces of the parallelogram unit body (i.e. Figure 10 The upper and lower cone surfaces of the triangular pyramid A1, the workbench drives the mold substrate to move along the X-axis direction during the processing), that is, the cone surface A101 of the triangular pyramid A1, the cone surface A201 of the triangular pyramid A2, the cone surface C101 of the triangular pyramid C1, and the cone surface C201 of the triangular pyramid C2, whose inclination angle is α / 2. The first type of tool is a symmetrical tool with the same inclination angle on both sides, such as Figure 10 shown.

[0057] Step 2: Rotate the mold base material on the B-axis turntable to 120 degrees (or 300 degrees) (i.e. Figure 9 In the state shown, rotate 120 degrees (or 300 degrees) counterclockwise around the center), and use the first type of tool with a tool angle of α installed on the fly cutter disc to machine the other two sides of the parallelogram unit (i.e. Figure 11 The left and right cone surfaces of the triangular pyramid A1, the cone surface A102 of the triangular pyramid A3, the cone surface C301 of the triangular pyramid C3 and the cone surface C202 of the triangular pyramid C2 also have an inclination angle of α / 2. Figure 11 shown.

[0058] Step 3: Rotate the mold base material on the B-axis turntable to 60 degrees (or 240 degrees) (i.e. Figure 9 In the state shown, rotate 60 degrees (or 240 degrees) counterclockwise around the center, and use the first type of tool with a tool angle of α installed on the fly cutter disc to machine the two diagonal cone surfaces of the parallelogram unit 1, namely the cone surface A202 of the triangular pyramid A2, the cone surface A302 of the triangular pyramid A3, the cone surface C302 of the triangular pyramid C3 and the cone surface C102 of the triangular pyramid C1, whose inclination angle is also α / 2, as shown in FIG. Figure 12 、 13 shown.

[0059] Step 4: Rotate the mold base on the B-axis turntable to 0 degrees (or 180 degrees) (i.e. Figure 9 As shown in the state), the second tool with a tool angle of γ=0.5* (α+β) installed on the fly cutter disc is used to form the pyramid surface B001 of triangular pyramid B and the pyramid surface C303 of triangular pyramid C3, whose inclination angle is β / 2; at the same time, the pyramid surface A303 of triangular pyramid A3 and the pyramid surface A401 of triangular pyramid A4 are formed, whose inclination angle is α / 2. The second tool is an asymmetric tool, with one side inclination angle α / 2 and the other side inclination angle β / 2, as shown in the state shown in the state). Figure 14 、 15 shown.

[0060] Step 5: Rotate the mold base material on the B-axis turntable to 120 degrees (or 300 degrees), and use the second tool with a tool angle of γ=0.5* (α+β) installed on the fly cutter disc to form the pyramid surface B002 of triangular pyramid B and the pyramid surface C103 of triangular pyramid C1, whose inclination angle is β / 2; at the same time, form the pyramid surface A203 of triangular pyramid A2 and the pyramid surface A402 of triangular pyramid A4, whose inclination angle is α / 2, as shown in FIG. Figure 16 、 17 shown.

[0061] Step 6: Finally, rotate the mold base on the B-axis turntable to 60 degrees (or 240 degrees), and use the second tool with a tool angle of γ=0.5* (α+β) installed on the fly cutter disc to form the pyramid surface B003 of triangular pyramid B and the pyramid surface C203 of triangular pyramid C2, whose inclination angle is β / 2; at the same time, form the pyramid surface A103 of triangular pyramid A1 and the pyramid surface A403 of triangular pyramid A4, whose inclination angle is α / 2, as shown in the figure. Figure 18 、19 As shown, Figure 18 、 19 That is, the structural diagram of the finished mold of this application, Figure 18 、 19 and Figure 7 、 8 They are all schematic diagrams of the structure of the mold used to make the reflective film of the present application. The shape and size of the mold obtained by the above method are the same as the reflective film formed by the subsequent production of the mold. In order to facilitate intuitive viewing, Figure 7 The labels and Figure 2 The same reference numerals are used to reflect the one-to-one correspondence between the mold and the reflective film.

[0062] At this point, the mold for the microprismatic reflective film composed of three different triangular pyramid structures, namely, triangular pyramid A with an inclination angle of α / 2, triangular pyramid B with an inclination angle of β / 2, and triangular pyramid C with inclination angles of α / 2, α / 2, and β / 2, has been processed and formed.

[0063] Specific processing example of Example 1: The first type of tool has a tool angle α = 70.50 degrees; the second type of tool has an asymmetric tool with a tool angle γ = 70.41 degrees, one side of which has an inclination angle of 35.25 degrees and the other side has an inclination angle of 35.16 degrees; during processing, the α tool is first used, and the B-axis rotation angles are 0 degrees (or 180 degrees), 60 degrees (or 240 degrees), and 120 degrees (or 300 degrees), and the intercept is 0.433 mm. The first three tools are processed to form a large triangular pyramid (side length 500 microns, refer to the above steps 1-3 and Figure 9-13 ), and then use the second tool angle to process along the center line of the large triangular pyramid edge, and the 4th to 6th cuts are used to form a composite micro-prismatic reflective film composed of a parallelogram unit array (refer to the above steps 4-6 and Figure 14-19 ), each parallelogram unit contains 8 reflective surfaces with a side length of 250μm, each of which is composed of three different triangular pyramid micro-prismatic reflective films composed of two inclination angles.

[0064] Example 2, as Figure 4 、 Figure 20 As shown, the mold base K1 is fixedly mounted horizontally on a workbench K2. The workbench can drive the mold base to move along the horizontal X-axis and Y-axis, and the B-axis turntable on the workbench can drive the mold base to rotate around the normal B-axis of the mold base. A spindle K3 and a flying cutter disk K4 fixedly connected to the spindle are provided above the mold base. The spindle K3 can be driven by an existing machine tool. A tool K5 is installed on the flying cutter disk. The tool can rotate around the Y-axis driven by the spindle. The specific steps of manufacturing are as follows:

[0065] Step 1: Rotate the mold base on the B-axis turntable to 0 degrees (or 180 degrees) (i.e. Figure 9 As shown in the figure), the first type of tool with a tool angle α installed on the fly cutter disc is used to machine the two side cone surfaces of the parallelogram unit body (i.e. Figure 10 The upper and lower cone surfaces of the triangular pyramid A1, the workbench drives the mold substrate to move along the X-axis during the processing), that is, the cone surface A101 of the triangular pyramid A1, the cone surface A201 of the triangular pyramid A2, the cone surface C101 of the triangular pyramid C1, and the cone surface C201 of the triangular pyramid C2, whose inclination angle is α / 2, as shown in FIG. Figure 10 As shown, the tool angle α of the first type of tool is 70.50 degrees.

[0066] Step 2: Rotate the mold base material on the B-axis turntable to 120 degrees (or 300 degrees) (i.e. Figure 9 In the state shown, rotate 120 degrees (or 300 degrees) counterclockwise around the center, and use the first type of tool with a tool angle of α installed on the fly cutter disc to machine the other two cone surfaces of the parallelogram unit (i.e. Figure 11 The left and right cone surfaces of the triangular pyramid A1, the cone surface A102 of the triangular pyramid A3, the cone surface C301 of the triangular pyramid C3 and the cone surface C202 of the triangular pyramid C2 also have an inclination angle of α / 2. Figure 11 shown.

[0067] Step 3: Rotate the mold base material on the B-axis turntable to 60 degrees (or 240 degrees) (i.e. Figure 9 In the state shown, rotate 60 degrees (or 240 degrees) counterclockwise around the center, and use the first type of tool with a tool angle of α installed on the fly cutter disc to machine the two diagonal cone surfaces of the parallelogram unit 1, namely the cone surface A202 of the triangular pyramid A2, the cone surface A302 of the triangular pyramid A3, the cone surface C302 of the triangular pyramid C3 and the cone surface C102 of the triangular pyramid C1, whose inclination angle is also α / 2, as shown in FIG. Figure 12 、 13 shown.

[0068] Step 4: Replace the second tool with a blade angle of γ on the fly cutter disc of the working spindle, and adjust the tool to produce a deflection angle △, that is, the symmetrical center plane of the second tool forms a deflection angle △ with the normal surface of the mold substrate, such as Figure 20 As shown; the inclination angle of the blade on one side of the tool angle is γ / 2+△=α / 2, and the inclination angle of the blade on the other side is γ / 2-△=γ-α / 2=β / 2. For example, the first tool has an angle of α=70.50 degrees, and the second tool is a symmetrical tool with γ=70.43 degrees. By adjusting the tool deflection angle △=0.035 degrees, the inclination angle of one side of the tool is 35.25 degrees, and the inclination angle of the other side is 35.18 degrees. Based on the structure after step 3, the mold substrate is rotated to the 0 degree (or 180 degree) position (i.e. Figure 9As shown in the figure), the adjusted second tool is used to form the pyramidal surface B001 of the triangular pyramid B and the pyramidal surface C303 of the triangular pyramid C3, whose inclination angle is γ-α / 2; at the same time, the pyramidal surface A303 of the triangular pyramid A3 and the pyramidal surface A401 of the triangular pyramid A4 are formed, whose inclination angle is α / 2; Figure 14 、 15 shown.

[0069] Step 5: Rotate the mold substrate to 120 degrees (or 300 degrees) in sequence, and use the second tool adjusted above to machine the pyramid surface B002 of triangular pyramid B and the pyramid surface C103 of triangular pyramid C1, whose inclination angle is γ-α / 2. At the same time, the pyramid surface A203 of triangular pyramid A2 and the pyramid surface A402 of triangular pyramid A4 are machined, and their inclination angle is α / 2, as shown in the following figure. Figure 16 、 17 shown.

[0070] Step 6: Finally, rotate the mold substrate to 60 degrees (or 240 degrees) in sequence, and use the second tool adjusted above to process and shape the pyramid surface B003 of triangular pyramid B and the pyramid surface C203 of triangular pyramid C2, whose inclination angle is γ-α / 2; at the same time, shape the pyramid surface A103 of triangular pyramid A1 and the pyramid surface A403 of triangular pyramid A4, whose inclination angle is α / 2, as shown in the figure. Figure 18 、 19 As shown, Figure 18 、 19 That is, the structural diagram of the finished mold of this application, Figure 18 、 19 and Figure 6 、 7 They are all schematic diagrams of the structure of the mold used to make the reflective film of the present application. The shape and size of the mold obtained by the above method are the same as the reflective film formed by the subsequent production of the mold. In order to facilitate intuitive viewing, Figure 7 The labels and Figure 2 The same reference numerals are used to reflect the one-to-one correspondence between the mold and the reflective film.

[0071] At this point, the mold of the micro-prismatic reflective film composed of three different triangular pyramid structures, namely triangular pyramid A (with an inclination angle of α / 2), triangular pyramid B (with an inclination angle of γ-α / 2), and triangular pyramid C (with inclination angles of α / 2, α / 2, and γ-α / 2, respectively), has been processed and formed. Figure 18 、 19 shown.

[0072] In a specific processing example of Example 2, the first tool has a cutting angle α of 70.50 degrees; the second tool is a symmetrical tool with a γ of 70.43 degrees. By adjusting the tool deflection angle △ of 0.035 degrees, the tool has an inclination angle of 35.25 degrees on one side and an inclination angle of 35.18 degrees on the other side. During processing, the α tool is first used, and array processing is performed with a B-axis rotation angle of 0 degrees (or 180 degrees), 60 degrees (or 240 degrees), and 120 degrees (or 300 degrees), respectively, and an intercept distance of 0.433 mm. The first three cuts form a large triangular pyramid (with a side length of 500 microns). Then, the second tool is used to perform array processing along the center line of the large triangular pyramid. The fourth to sixth cuts form a composite micro-prismatic reflective film composed of an array of parallelogram units. Each parallelogram unit contains eight triangular pyramid units with a side length of 250 μm, and three reflective surfaces are formed by combining three different triangular pyramid micro-prismatic reflective films at two different inclination angles.

[0073] In order to verify the significant advantages of the above embodiments of the present application, a comparative example is provided below:

[0074] The comparative tool has a blade angle α of 70.50 degrees, a triangular pyramid side length of 250 μm, and a B-axis rotation angle of 0 degrees (or 180 degrees), 60 degrees (or 240 degrees), and 120 degrees (or 300 degrees). The intercept is 216.5 μm. The array is processed to form a conventional triangular pyramid microprismatic reflective film composed of an array of identical parallelogram units, and each parallelogram unit is composed of two identical triangular pyramids.

[0075] Comparison of retroreflective performance test data of 3 samples:

[0076]

[0077] Technical Advantages: The comparative example is a conventional triangular pyramid microprismatic reflective sheeting, whose retroreflective performance is mainly distributed at a small observation angle of 0.2 degrees. It cannot meet the requirements of the Class V standard under the test conditions of an incident angle of 30 degrees, an observation angle of 0.5 degrees and 1 degree, and an observation angle of 1 degree, an incident angle of -4 degrees and 15 degrees. The microprismatic reflective sheeting prepared by the present invention is composed of three different triangular pyramids, which optimizes and improves the retroreflective performance under large observation angle and large incident angle test conditions, so that the retroreflective performance under all test conditions meets the Class V standard requirements.

[0078] The mold obtained by the above processing is then processed by conventional technical means to obtain a reflective film (which is existing technology and will not be described here).

[0079] In addition, performance testing can be performed on samples (or reflective film samples) produced by using different cutting tools and processing methods to verify and compare the performance of the mold or reflective film obtained by the technical solution of this application.

[0080] The specific different tools and processing methods are as follows:

[0081] 1. Use the first type of tool with tool angle α to independently process microprismatic reflective film samples with triangular pyramid unit structures and pyramid surface inclination angles of α / 2 and test them.

[0082] 2. Use the third type of tool with a tool angle of β to independently process microprismatic reflective film samples with a triangular pyramid unit structure with a pyramid surface inclination angle of β / 2 and test them.

[0083] 3. Use the first type of tool with a tool angle of α to process the two pyramidal surfaces of the triangular pyramid, and then use the third type of tool with a tool angle of β to process the third pyramidal surface of the triangular pyramid. In this way, a "composite cone surface" triangular pyramid reflective film sample is formed and tested.

[0084] In the three triangular pyramid reflective sheeting samples obtained by the above three processing methods, the bottom surface shape and size of each triangular pyramid unit are consistent with those of the single triangular pyramid in the present application. The difference lies in the difference in each corner cone surface. The three triangular pyramid reflective sheeting samples obtained by the three processing methods have a single optical design variable, and it is difficult to obtain different incident angles and observation angles (especially wide angles). The performance is lower than or close to that of Class V reflective sheeting.

[0085] Furthermore, the "Method for Manufacturing Microprismatic Reflective Sheeting with a Double Triangular Pyramid Combination Structure and Its Mold" (Publication No. CN118759624B) uses a first tool with a knife angle of α to machine the large triangular pyramid, and then uses a second tool with a knife angle of β to machine the large triangular pyramid (a total of six cuts, six steps). Although adjusting the angle variables of the triangular pyramid at the center can optimize the wide-angle performance of the reflective sheeting to a certain extent, or achieve a certain degree of optimization of the 0-degree and 90-degree performance of the reflective sheeting, under the same processing steps (this application also uses six cuts, six steps), the microprismatic reflective sheeting produced by this patent still lacks the design freedom of the two triangular pyramids and lacks the freedom of optical design optimization.

[0086] The present application has three triangular pyramids, namely, a triangular pyramid A with a pyramidal surface inclination angle of α / 2, a triangular pyramid B with a pyramidal surface inclination angle of β / 2, and a "mixed" triangular pyramid C with three pyramidal surface inclination angles of α / 2, α / 2 and β / 2 respectively; it achieves the design freedom of the three triangular pyramids, and the area proportions of the three triangular pyramids A, triangular pyramid B and triangular pyramid C are 50%, 12.5% ​​and 37.5% respectively, which can further reasonably optimize the performance under different application conditions, thereby obtaining wide-angle performance improvement that cannot be achieved by the micro-prismatic reflective film of the traditional triangular pyramid unit structure and the double triangular pyramid combination structure, as well as optimization and balance of the overall comprehensive performance.

[0087] In summary, the present invention has the following technical advantages.

[0088] From an optical design perspective, increased optical design freedom means that optical systems can simultaneously meet performance indicators for a wider range of different application conditions. For high-performance Class V reflective sheeting, improving its wide-angle performance at large observation angles, wide angles of incidence, and performance at both 90-degree and 0-degree azimuth orientations, as well as their optimization and balance, has always been a focus of research and development in Class V reflective sheeting technology. The reflective sheeting of the present invention comprises three triangular pyramids: a triangular pyramid A with a pyramidal surface inclination angle of α / 2, a triangular pyramid B with a pyramidal surface inclination angle of β / 2, and a "hybrid" triangular pyramid C with three pyramidal surface inclination angles of α / 2, α / 2, and β / 2, respectively. This achieves design freedom for the three triangular pyramids, with the area proportions of the three triangular pyramids A, B, and C being 50%, 12.5%, and 37.5%, respectively. This allows for optimal performance optimization for different application conditions, thereby achieving wide-angle performance improvements unattainable with conventional microprismatic reflective sheeting with triangular pyramid unit structures or dual triangular pyramid combination structures, as well as overall optimization and balance of comprehensive performance.

[0089] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the present invention and not to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, ordinary technicians in the field should understand that the specific implementation methods of the present invention can still be modified or some technical features can be replaced by equivalents without departing from the spirit of the technical solution of the present invention. They should all be included in the scope of the technical solution for protection of the present invention.
