Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of ornament preparation, and in particular to a method for manufacturing wool felt three-dimensional and relief products. Background Art

[0002] By the time of Ancient Rome, wool felt had developed a complete production system, dating back to the nomadic civilizations of the fourth century BC. This technique, introduced to Europe via Mediterranean trade routes, quickly developed into a significant craft due to its unique physical properties. During the production process, artisans layered moistened wool fibers, rubbing and rolling them by hand, and then entangled the fiber scales with soap (usually castile or laurel soap) for dozens of hours, creating a dense structure. This natural nonwoven fabric not only offers superior waterproof and breathable properties, but also boasts a high degree of plasticity, making it widely used in military equipment, everyday clothing, and architecture.

[0003] Despite its millennia-long tradition, wool felting remains a labor-intensive process. Traditional techniques require over twenty steps, including fiber screening, warm water soaking, layering, and directional kneading. The three-dimensional shaping process relies heavily on the craftsman's experience and judgment, requiring several days of meticulous sculpting and detailed carving for each piece. This inefficiency makes mass production unsuitable. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for producing three-dimensional and relief products of wool felt. The method provided by the present invention has the characteristics of simple production, convenience and speed, and can be mass-produced.

[0005] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0006] A method for producing three-dimensional and relief wool felt products, comprising the following steps:

[0007] S1. Make a felt board of the required thickness for the product.

[0008] In this step, a felt board of desired thickness can be obtained by a felting method or a needle felting method.

[0009] In this step, the wool is first made into a felt board 0.5-2 cm thicker than the target product. For example, if the product thickness is 4 cm, the felt board is made into a 5 cm thick board; if the relief product thickness is 4 cm, a 4.5 cm thick felt board is prepared.

[0010] S2. Cut the felt board into the shape required by the product size.

[0011] In this step, the length and width of the felt block should be cut 2-3 cm larger than the size of the target product to leave room for carving.

[0012] S3. Perform penetration dyeing according to the design drawing to obtain colored wool felt.

[0013] S4. Place the colored wool felt into a fixture, and then place it into an engraving machine. Input the 3D model file of the required product, and the engraving machine operates to obtain a felt embryo.

[0014] In this step, the engraving method includes:

[0015] Round carving method: Place the cut felt block in a fixture to fix the felt block so that it does not move and deflect during carving; then place the mold in an engraving machine to fix it, import the target product 3D model file, and start carving. The method of the present invention uses an ordinary woodworking CNC engraving machine and does not require modification.

[0016] Relief method: fix the cut felt block on the relief platform of the engraving machine, import the target product 3D model file, and perform single-sided engraving. The method of the present invention uses an ordinary woodworking CNC engraving machine without modification.

[0017] In this step, the front and back sides can be embossed separately to obtain a felt embossed product on both sides, and then the front and back sides can be glued together to obtain a complete three-dimensional felt product.

[0018] S5. Prepare a die cutter of the outer contour of the front view of the target product, take out the carved felt blank, place it on the front, and cut it into shape with a die cutter.

[0019] In this step, if the round carving method is used, after taking out the round carving blank, there will be residual upper and lower fixing piles on the blank product. Place its front side into the cutting die, and punch from top to bottom to cut off the fixing piles.

[0020] If the relief method is used, there will be a connection between the relief blank and the original blank. Similarly, its front side is placed in the cutting die, and punched from top to bottom to cut off the remaining part. If the relief operation has been completed, you can skip this step.

[0021] In this step, if there is any deformation during the carving process, you can sprinkle water on the surface and then heat it with a steel mold to solidify it.

[0022] S6. Surface felting treatment

[0023] In this step, the surface may be felted by a reciprocating needle punch or by hand needle felting.

[0024] S7, surface local color shaping

[0025] In this step, you can use clamping spray paint or colored wool to perform artificial needle felting to shape the local color of the surface.

[0026] S8. Assemble by gluing to obtain the product.

[0027] The present invention also provides a method for preparing the above-mentioned glue, comprising the following steps:

[0028] (1) Add soy protein isolate to deionized water, stir and dissolve, then add tannic acid and epichlorohydrin, adjust the pH of the solution to 3-5, heat and stir to react, after the reaction is completed, dialyze and freeze-dry to obtain modified soy protein isolate;

[0029] (2) Ultrasonic dispersion of nano-silica in an ethanol aqueous solution, then adding vinyl triethoxysilane thereto, stirring, filtering, washing, and drying to obtain vinyl silica;

[0030] (3) dispersing vinyl silica in an organic solvent, introducing nitrogen to expel air, then adding 1,4-butenediol and initiator benzoyl peroxide, heating to react, and after the reaction is completed, filtering, washing, and drying to obtain modified silica;

[0031] (4) Dissolve the modified soybean white in deionized water, add modified silica, stir evenly, then add curing agent isophorone diisocyanate, mix evenly, and obtain glue.

[0032] Specifically, in step (1), the mass ratio of soy protein isolate, tannic acid and epichlorohydrin is 10-15:3-6:4-8. In some embodiments of the present invention, for example, 10:3:4, 10:4:6, 10:4:8, 12:5:4, 12:6:8, 15:3:4, 15:5:5, and 15:6:8 can be selected, but the ratio is not limited to the listed values. Other values not listed within the numerical range are also applicable.

[0033] Specifically, in step (1), the temperature for the heating and stirring reaction is 70-90°C, for example, 70°C, 75°C, 80°C, 85°C, or 90°C; the time for the heating and stirring reaction is 2-4h, for example, 2h, 2.5h, 3h, 3.5h, or 4h, but is not limited to the listed values, and other values not listed within the numerical range are also applicable.

[0034] Specifically, in step (2), the mass ratio of nano-silica to vinyltriethoxysilane is 8-12:1-3. In some embodiments of the present invention, for example, 8:1, 8:2, 8:3, 10:1, 10:2, 10:3, 12:1, 12:2, and 12:3 can be selected, but the ratio is not limited to the listed values. Other values not listed within the numerical range are also applicable.

[0035] Specifically, in step (3), the mass ratio of vinyl silica, 1,4-butenediol and benzoyl peroxide is 8-12:2-4:0.5-1. For example, 8:2:0.5, 8:3:0.6, 8:4:1, 10:3:0.8, 10:4:1, 12:2:0.5, 12:3:0.6, and 12:4:1 can be selected, but the values are not limited to the listed values. Other values not listed within the numerical range are also applicable.

[0036] Specifically, in step (3), the temperature of the heating reaction is 60-80°C, for example, 60°C, 65°C, 70°C, 75°C, or 80°C can be selected; the time of the heating reaction is 2-5h, for example, 2h, 2.5h, 3h, 3.5h, 4h, 4.5h, or 5h can be selected, but the values are not limited to the listed values, and other values not listed within the numerical range are also applicable.

[0037] Specifically, in step (4), the mass ratio of the modified soybean white, deionized water, modified silica and isophorone diisocyanate is 40-50:500-600:0.5-2:2-4.

[0040] (2) The glue used in the accessory assembly process of the present invention has the characteristics of good bonding performance and environmental protection and non-toxicity; by grafting tannic acid onto soy protein isolate under the action of adhesive epichlorohydrin, the bonding strength of soy protein isolate is improved; then, through the addition reaction between double bonds, 1,4-butene diol is polymerized and grafted onto nano-silica, and then modified soy protein isolate is used as the main agent of glue, modified silica is used as a filler, and isophorone diisocyanate is used as a cross-linking curing agent. Isophorone diisocyanate can react with the hydroxyl groups of modified soy protein isolate and the hydroxyl groups of modified silica to form a cured cross-linking system, thereby improving the cohesive force of the glue and further improving the bonding strength of the glue; at the same time, by modifying the nano-silica, the nano-silica is evenly dispersed in the glue, thereby improving the tensile properties of the glue. In addition, the alkyl long chain structure of the modified silica has high flexibility, which further improves the mechanical properties of the glue. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
