[0002] The pad printing process refers to the process of first etching the desired pattern on a steel plate (or copper, thermoplastic plastic) using film, then using a curved pad printing head made of silicone rubber material to dip the ink on the gravure onto the surface of the pad printing head, and then press it against the surface of the desired object to print text, patterns, etc.

[0003] An improved watch 3D glass pad printing ink can realize a concave pad printing rubber head on the side wall of the pad printing ink from the window to the glass 3D platform at one time, optimize the production process, and reduce product processing costs.

[0004] At present, the rubber head used in the pad printing process of 3D watch glass slowly deforms when the rubber head is pressed down during pad printing. The side wall of the rubber head deforms outward due to expansion. When the side wall of the 3D watch glass is bent higher than a certain angle (more than 70°) or the arc height of the 3D surface of the glass side wall is higher than a certain height (more than 2.0mm), the expansion caused by the downward pressure of the rubber head will cause the side wall of the rubber head to contact the glass platform surface, and the chamfer of the rubber head itself has not yet contacted the inner cavity chamfer of the glass. At this time, the rubber head will form a sealed state with the contacted glass platform, resulting in the subsequent chamfer of the rubber head itself unable to contact the inner chamfer of the glass, resulting in no ink leakage at the inner chamfer of the glass.

[0034] The present invention is further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with preferred embodiments. It should be noted that the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present application can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0035] It should be noted that the directional terms such as left, right, up, down, top, and bottom in this embodiment are merely relative concepts or are based on the normal use status of the product, and should not be considered as restrictive.

[0036] Existing technology defects:

[0037] When the 3D watch glass side wall is bent at a higher angle (above 70°) or the 3D surface arc height of the glass side wall is higher than a certain height (above 2.0mm), Figure 1 The products printed by the conventional pad printing head leak light and have poor appearance. Figures 4 to 6 As shown, the reason why the prior art has the above-mentioned defects is that during the pad printing process, when the rubber head starts to press down, the silicone on the side wall of the rubber head expands and deforms outward due to the pressure. After the downward pressure reaches a certain degree, the side wall of the rubber head expands and deforms outward in advance and contacts with the inner chamfer of the glass platform and then seals, resulting in the presence of air at the inner chamfer of the glass in the square frame. In the subsequent pressurization process, the air cannot be removed, and the surface of the rubber head at the side position cannot contact the glass, resulting in light leakage at this position after pad printing, and the final product has a poor appearance.

[0038] For a glass platform whose side wall of a 3D structured glass cover is bent at a higher angle (above 70°) or whose 3D surface arc height of the glass side wall is higher than a certain height (above 2.0 mm), an embodiment of the utility model shows a new type of pad printing rubber head, including a rubber head ink collection area (the contact area between the rubber head and the product printed pattern) and a rubber head side wall adjacent to the rubber head ink collection area, wherein the rubber head side wall is provided with an air-repellent structure, and when the chamfers of the rubber head ink collection area and the rubber head side wall are in contact with the glass platform, the rubber head side wall still has a certain distance from the inner side of the glass platform, and will not form a closed state, and air can be discharged.

Figure 2 As shown, it is specifically a square rubber head, which includes a rubber head ink collection area and a rubber head side wall adjacent to the rubber head ink collection area, and the rubber head side wall is provided with an air-repellent structure. In this embodiment, the air-repellent structure is an irregular curved surface, and the irregular curved surface is formed by splicing multiple curved surfaces. In addition, in other embodiments, the air-repellent structure can also be a plurality of convex points distributed along the circumference of the rubber head side wall. When the chamfers of the rubber head ink collection area and the rubber head side wall are in contact with the glass platform, the convex points and the inner chamfers of the glass platform are abutted in advance, and the rubber head side wall is still at a certain distance from the inner side of the glass platform, so that a closed state will not be formed, and air can be discharged.

[0041] The irregular curved surface includes a downward pressure buffer zone, which is concave inwardly toward the direction of the rubber head axis, and the depth of the concave ranges from 0 to 10 mm. The new pad printing rubber head also includes a main body support area, which is located at one end of the downward pressure buffer zone away from the rubber head ink collection area. The initial position of the irregular curved surface starts from the rubber head ink collection area, and the end position of the irregular curved surface ends at the main body support area; the main body support area is fixedly connected to a fixed plate, and the material of the main body support area is anti-static silicone, and the "main body support area" has a supporting effect compared to other areas.

[0042] The new pad printing rubber head also includes a head support area, which coincides with the axis position of the new pad printing rubber head. The head support area is made of anti-static silicone. The "head support area" has the function of alignment and guidance during the pad printing process.

[0043] Embodiment 2:

Figure 3As shown, it is specifically a circular rubber head, which includes a rubber head ink collection area and a rubber head side wall adjacent to the rubber head ink collection area, and the rubber head side wall is provided with an air-repellent structure. In this embodiment, the air-repellent structure is an irregular curved surface, and the irregular curved surface is formed by splicing multiple curved surfaces. In addition, in other embodiments, the air-repellent structure can also be a plurality of convex points distributed along the circumference of the rubber head side wall. When the chamfers of the rubber head ink collection area and the rubber head side wall are in contact with the glass platform, the convex points and the inner chamfers of the glass platform are abutted in advance, and the rubber head side wall is still at a certain distance from the inner side of the glass platform, so that a closed state will not be formed, and air can be discharged.

[0045] The irregular curved surface includes a downward pressure buffer zone, which is concave inwardly toward the direction of the rubber head axis, and the concave depth (diameter difference) ranges from 0-10mm. The new pad printing rubber head also includes a main body support area, which is located at one end of the downward pressure buffer zone away from the rubber head ink collection area.
