Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention pertains to the field of tempered glass processing technology, specifically relating to a production process for deep integration of fabric and tempered glass. Background Technology

[0002] Tempered glass, due to its high strength, good safety, and excellent light transmission, is widely used in the exterior components of various products. To enhance its aesthetics and added value, the industry has developed various glass surface decoration processes; however, these traditional processes have significant limitations in achieving complex, three-dimensional, and textured visual effects. Specifically:

[0003] (1) Printing and spraying processes: This is the most common surface treatment method, including screen printing, spray painting, digital printing, etc. Although these processes can achieve changes in patterns and colors, their visual effects are essentially two-dimensional, with a single texture and weak sense of layering, and cannot simulate the three-dimensional fiber structure and tactile feel of materials such as fabrics. The bonding between the coating and the glass substrate mainly relies on physical adsorption or simple chemical bonding, which has limited wear resistance and durability. After long-term use, problems such as peeling, scratches and loss of gloss may occur.

[0004] (2) Lamination and composite process: A polymer film with a pattern or texture (such as PET film) is bonded to the glass surface with an adhesive. This method can provide a certain variety of textures, but it has obvious defects: First, the adhesive layer may cause optical distortion, affecting light transmittance and clarity; second, there is a clear physical interface between the film and the glass, and the texture "floats" on the surface, lacking the sense of "deep integration" with the glass; finally, the adhesive may fail under aging or temperature changes, causing the film to wrinkle, peel off or curl at the edges.

[0005] (3) Laminated glass process: Fabrics, paper, or decorations are sandwiched between two panes of glass in a PVB (polyvinyl butyral) or EVA (ethylene-vinyl acetate) film. This process can achieve a true three-dimensional wrapping effect, but it is complex, costly, and limited to laminated glass products, and cannot be applied to tempered single-pane glass. In addition, the materials in the interlayer may become blurry and dull due to multiple refractions and reflections of light, losing the original clear texture of the fabric.

[0006] (4) Etching and engraving processes: These processes create raised or recessed textures on the glass surface using chemical or physical methods. This method can create a realistic three-dimensional feel, but the textures are usually limited to geometric or abstract patterns, making it difficult to accurately and delicately replicate the complex fiber interweaving structure of natural fabrics. Furthermore, this process can damage the glass substrate, potentially affecting its strength, and is accompanied by environmental pollution issues.

[0007] In summary, existing technologies share a common core contradiction: they either fail to achieve decorative effects with depth, three-dimensionality, and rich texture (such as printing), or, to achieve such effects, necessitate the introduction of complex structures, additional interfaces, or the sacrifice of certain inherent properties of glass (such as lamination or film application). Specifically, this manifests as follows:

[0008] (1) The decorative effect is two-dimensional, the texture is monotonous, and it lacks the layering and three-dimensionality of natural materials (such as fabrics).

[0009] (2) The decorative layer has insufficient bonding strength with the glass substrate, resulting in poor durability and wear resistance.

[0010] (3) The process is either not applicable to tempered finished glass or is costly and environmentally unfriendly.

[0011] (4) It is impossible to give glass a soft and rich fabric texture while retaining its transparent and hard properties.

[0012] Therefore, the market urgently needs an innovative production process that can directly and deeply bond the delicate textures and three-dimensional feel of flexible materials such as fabrics to the surface of tempered glass in a high-strength and highly durable manner, thereby breaking through the traditional boundaries of glass decoration and creating a completely new visual and tactile experience. This invention is proposed precisely to address this technical problem. Summary of the Invention

[0013] The purpose of this invention is to provide a production process that deeply integrates fabric and tempered glass, which solves the problems of shallow appearance and monotonous technology in glass surface processing, making the glass surface texture diverse and rich in layers. This process can improve the diversity of product appearance and is a major breakthrough and innovation in glass surface processing.

[0014] A deep bonding process between fabric and tempered glass includes the following steps;

[0015] Step 1: Clean the air surface of the tempered glass with a water washing machine;

[0016] Step 2: Apply a gold base + gray base sealing treatment to the air surface of the product obtained in Step 1;

[0017] Step 3: Apply a base coat to the tin surface of the product obtained in Step 2 to obtain an adhesive layer with good recoatability;

[0018] Step 4: Apply a base coat to the product obtained in Step 3, and then perform nano-imprinting to combine the fabric with the base coat.

[0019] Step 5: Apply MI layer texture imprinting again to the fabric-type interwoven / interwoven layer of the product obtained in Step 4.

[0020] Step 1 specifically includes the following steps:

[0021] Step 1.1: Ensure the washing machine is working properly and select the appropriate cleaning agent based on the type of contaminants on the tempered glass surface;

[0022] Step 1.2: Pre-treat the tempered glass by gently wiping the surface with a soft cloth or brush to remove larger particulate contaminants;

[0023] Step 1.3: Aim the nozzle of the water washing machine at the air surface of the tempered glass, maintain an appropriate distance, and spray evenly;

[0024] Step 1.4: After cleaning, rinse the glass surface with clean water to ensure that there is no residual cleaning agent or contaminants, and let it air dry.

[0025] Step 2 specifically includes the following steps:

[0026] Step 2.1: Screen print on the air surface of the product obtained in Step 1 using an acrylic metallic primer;

[0027] Step 2.2: Perform preliminary curing baking at 170℃~180℃ on the primer surface obtained in Step 2.1;

[0028] Step 2.3: Apply a dyne-type sealing putty to the primer surface obtained in Step 2.2 for protection.

[0029] Step 2.4: The topcoat obtained in Step 2.3 is subjected to deep curing baking at 170℃~180℃ to allow solvents such as DBE to fully evaporate.

[0030] Dyne-type primer is a functional coating used to improve surface energy and enhance the adhesion of subsequent coatings.

[0031] Step 3 specifically includes the following steps:

[0032] Step 3.1: Apply a polyester-based primer to the tin surface of the product obtained in Step 2.4.

[0033] Step 3.2: Apply a base coat to the product obtained in Step 3.1 and perform preliminary curing baking at 170℃~180℃.

[0034] Step 4 specifically includes the following steps:

[0035] Step 4.1: Apply a base coat to the product obtained in Step 3, and perform nano-imprinting using a fabric + UV resin mixed coating method.

[0036] Step 4.2: The fabric layer with interlocking threads / fabric obtained in Step 4.1 is surface-cured using an LED surface light source;

[0037] Step 5 specifically includes the following steps:

[0038] Step 5.1: Perform MI texture embossing on the fabric interlocking / cloth interlocking layer obtained in Step 4.2;

[0039] Step 5.2: Deeply cure the MI layer of the product obtained in Step 5.1 using a high-pressure mercury lamp.

[0040] The positive effects of this invention are as follows:

[0041] (1) The fabric layer in this scheme is not limited to polyester / metal wire / silk and other materials. The material itself is translucent and has a strong texture. Compared with the traditional glass production process, this deep processing technology has a completely different advantage in appearance from the traditional glass. It is a brand-new glass appearance production process.

[0042] This invention employs a two-step embossing process combining "nano-imprinting" and "MI layer texture embossing." Instead of simply attaching the fabric to the surface, it uses UV resin to imprint and solidify the fabric's fiber texture and interwoven structure into the coating with nano-level precision. This allows the fabric's visual and tactile characteristics (such as the delicate fiber feel and the textured weave) to form a seamless and essential combination with the glass surface. The final product visually presents a three-dimensional depth and rich layers that traditional printing processes cannot achieve, while retaining the unique texture of the fabric. This creatively unifies the hardness and transparency of glass with the softness and complex texture of fabric.

[0043] (2) Use general wear-resistant protective primer ink and general platinum ink to make a metallic color and print it on the air surface of the glass. After baking at 180 degrees, the glass has a metallic feel, which can protect the glass and prevent it from being scratched. At the same time, it can be used as a foaming adhesive for products such as refrigerators and air conditioners.

[0044] The multi-layer coating system of this invention (sealing and protective layer, adhesive undercoat, and UV resin bonding layer) is scientifically designed. The metallic primer and dyne base coat not only provide aesthetics and protection, but more importantly, they lay a solid foundation for high adhesion of subsequent coatings. The key fabric / UV resin nano-imprint layer achieves rapid surface shaping under LED light of a specific wavelength, and then undergoes deep and thorough curing through a high-pressure mercury lamp, forming a hardened layer with high cross-linking density and strong cohesion. This dual effect of "chemical bonding + physical anchoring" makes the bonding force between the fabric decorative layer and the glass substrate far exceed that of traditional film or spraying processes. It has excellent wear resistance, scratch resistance, weather resistance, and chemical resistance, resulting in a long product service life and stable performance.

[0045] (3) Since the fabric itself is colored, the platinum ink coloring process can be omitted, which can greatly improve production efficiency and stability.

[0046] Compared to the complex laminated glass process, this invention processes directly on a single piece of tempered glass, eliminating the need for lamination and lamination, resulting in a shorter process chain and greater cost advantages. Furthermore, since the selected fabric itself has color and texture, it can replace or reduce the color matching and overprinting steps in multi-layer color ink printing in some applications. This not only simplifies the process but also avoids product color differences caused by batch variations in inks, significantly improving production efficiency and product consistency and stability.

[0047] (4) Because of the diversity of fabrics and embossed textures, this invention will make subsequent production changes and derivative product production much easier.

[0048] This invention constitutes an open process platform, where the material (polyester, metal wire, silk, etc.), color, weaving method, and MI embossed texture pattern of the fabric can be infinitely combined and varied according to design requirements. This means that without changing the core process flow, countless products with unique appearances can be derived, easily meeting the market's rapid demand for personalized and differentiated glass appearances, and greatly expanding the application scope of decorative glass in high-end home appliances, interior decoration, art installations and other fields.

[0049] (5) The process of the present invention uses float glass as the original sheet, which is tempered and then used as the substrate. The fabric filaments / cloth are solidified onto the glass surface by nanoimprinting technology to produce a fabric-type appearance process that is completely different from the traditional glass appearance production process.

[0050] This process solution is not merely a technological improvement, but also an expansion of the boundaries of glass material's expressive power. It successfully integrates two distinct material languages—cold glass and warm fabric—creating a new aesthetic form that combines high-tech feel with natural texture, giving end products greater recognition and added value.
