Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the field of label technology, and in particular to a replacement indication label. Background Art
[0002] As consumers increasingly pursue personalized and unique experiences, the innovative design of brand logos has become an important competitive point in the market. Traditional brand logos are usually fixed on clothing, accessories and other products using printing, embroidery or heat transfer techniques, but the colors and patterns of these logos are usually fixed.
[0003] Traditional brand identification methods are often static, unable to integrate with the consumer's usage process, lacking interactivity and fun. Therefore, changing labels were born. Currently, common changing labels include thermal labels, photosensitive labels, and pressure-sensitive labels, which can change the color or pattern of the label under specific conditions. However, the above labels cannot indicate that they need to be replaced after multiple washings or long-term use in daily environments.
[0004] Therefore, based on the above problems, the prior art needs to be improved. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this application is to indicate to the user through labeling the degree of use of the product to be used.
[0006] The above technical purpose of the present application is achieved through the following technical solutions: a replacement indicator sign, comprising a base material layer, a functional material layer is provided on the base material layer, which is used to indicate the degree of use of the product used by the user, a protective layer is provided on the side of the functional material layer away from the base material layer, and a printing layer is provided on the base material layer, and the printing layer partially covers or completely avoids the functional material layer; the functional material layer is a fading coating; the protective layer covers the fading coating, which is used to protect the fading coating from the direct influence of the external environment and control the fading speed; the protective layer completely covers the fading coating or partially covers the fading coating, and when the fading coating is not completely covered, different parts of the fading coating have different fading times, and the fading coating can play a progressive prompting role of prompting and warning; or the air permeability and waterproofness of the protective layer are customized to control the fading speed of the dye in the functional material layer.
[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, the base material layer serves as the base of the label to provide structural support; through the functional material layer, the user can clearly understand the degree of use of the product during the user's use, without additional testing or measurement, and the intuitive instructions help the user make decisions in time to maintain or replace the used product. The protective layer covers the functional material layer to protect the functional material layer from the direct impact of the external environment. At the same time, when the functional material layer is a dye, the protective layer has a certain air permeability and waterproofness, which can control the fading speed of the functional material layer during the use of the product. The printing layer can be printed with text, patterns or barcodes, etc., to identify product information or brand logos. As the fading coating fades, the user can be aware of the degree of use of the product in time, and reminds the user to take action when necessary, such as timely replacement of the product or maintenance, to avoid damage caused by long-term use. The user can observe the color change of the label as it is used, which increases the fun and interactivity of the product. According to the different usage habits of each user, the speed and degree of fading of the label will also be different, providing consumers with a personalized use experience.
[0008] Optionally, the fading coating includes a water-soluble ink fading layer.
[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, water-soluble ink is more environmentally friendly than traditional solvent-based ink, reduces pollution to the environment, and meets the requirements of modern society for environmental protection and sustainable development. Water-soluble ink is safer than solvent-based ink, does not contain harmful volatile organic compounds, and is more suitable for products that come into direct contact with the human body, such as clothing labels. Water-soluble ink is easier to dissolve and wash during the washing process, so the fading effect is more obvious. By coordinating with the air permeability and waterproofness of the protective film, the fading speed of the water-soluble ink can be effectively controlled, which can more accurately indicate the degree of use of the product.
[0010] Optionally, the fading coating includes a manganese subcarbonate fading layer.
[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, manganese subcarbonate is a non-toxic and harmless compound that is harmless to the human body and the environment and meets the requirements of safety and environmental protection. The use of a manganese subcarbonate fading layer can ensure the health of users and the sustainable development of the environment. Manganese subcarbonate has stable chemical properties and can stably exert a fading effect under appropriate conditions. Therefore, the fading process is relatively reliable and can accurately indicate the degree of use of the product. Manganese subcarbonate changes color under the action of light or oxygen, thereby achieving a fading effect. This change is obvious and intuitive, and can clearly indicate the degree of use of the product, reminding users to replace or maintain it in time.
[0012] Optionally, the fading coating includes a phenolphthalein fading layer.
[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the application of the fading layer on the chemical medicine bottle can be used as a warning mechanism. When the chemicals in the medicine bottle leak or react with external substances, the fading layer will gradually change color, reminding the user to deal with it in time or take corresponding safety measures, thereby reducing the possibility of accidents. Through the fading layer, the use of the chemical medicine bottle can be monitored. After a certain use cycle, the fading layer of the medicine bottle begins to change, indicating that the medicine bottle has been used, which helps to track and monitor the use of the medicine to ensure the effectiveness and safety of the medicine. The change of the fading layer can help prevent the misuse or overtime use of chemicals, especially for some drugs that need to strictly control the number of uses and the use cycle, which can reduce the potential risks caused by misuse and protect the health and safety of users. At the same time, the phenolphthalein fading layer can be applied to clothing labels, household cleaning products, drug packaging, food packaging, cosmetic containers, industrial fields, outdoor products and other fields, and can serve as a reminder when encountering acidic and alkaline substances.
[0014] Optionally, the fading coating includes a daylight yellow fading layer.
[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the daylight yellow fading layer on the book label can provide an anti-counterfeiting effect, because only the original label will gradually fade over time. This can effectively prevent the book label from being counterfeited or tampered with. The color change of the fading layer can intuitively indicate the usage status of the book. As the book is used for a longer time, the fading layer on the label gradually fades, reminding readers of the newness of the book and helping readers choose suitable reading materials. In places such as libraries where a large number of books are managed, the fading layer allows administrators to more quickly identify which books have not been borrowed for a long time, thereby managing them more effectively, including reclassification, display or cleaning. This label design provides an interactive experience, where readers can understand the usage of books by observing the color changes on the label. This interactive experience can increase the intimacy and pleasure between readers and books.
[0016] Optionally, the functional material layer is an RFID chip for storing usage information of the product.
[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, when the product is a book, the RFID chip can store a large amount of data, including the borrowing time, return time, borrower information, etc. Therefore, the use of books can be accurately and real-time recorded and monitored, providing a more convenient and efficient means for library management. RFID technology can realize the automated management of books, including automatic borrowing, automatic return, automatic positioning and other functions. Through the RFID chip, library administrators can inventory and locate books more quickly, improving the efficiency of library management. RFID chips can be used to realize anti-theft and tracking functions. Once a book is stolen or lost, the administrator can quickly locate the location of the book through the RFID system to reduce losses. RFID technology can realize the function of self-service borrowing and returning books. Readers do not need to wait in line to borrow and return books, which improves the borrowing experience.
[0018] Optionally, an adhesive layer is provided on the base material layer for adhering to the product.
[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the adhesive layer can effectively stick the label on the surface of the product, ensuring that the label is not easy to fall off or shift during the use of the product. This helps to maintain the readability and durability of the label, and improves the use effect and durability of the label. After the label is stuck on the product through the adhesive layer, it can achieve seamless fit with the surface of the product without bulging or looseness. This can keep the product neat and beautiful, and enhance the visual effect and quality of the product.
[0020] In summary, this application has at least the following beneficial effects:
[0021] 1. The base material layer serves as the base of the label and provides structural support. Through the functional material layer, users can clearly understand the degree of product use during use without additional testing or measurement.

[0029] The present application is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0030] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 1-3 A replacement sign includes a base material layer 1, a functional material layer 2, a protective layer 3, a printing layer 4 and an adhesive layer 5.
[0031] Base material layer 1: As the base of the label, it provides structural support; you can use rubber layer, silicone layer, metal layer, wood layer, plastic sheet, PVC (polyvinyl chloride), TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane), yarn, cloth or other printable material layer as the base of the label. It is preferred to use nylon, satin or polyester and other washable materials as the base material of the label to ensure the durability and fading effect of the label.
[0032] Functional material layer 2: includes a fading coating or an RFID chip. When the functional material layer 2 is a fading coating, the functional material layer 2 contains special dyes or chemicals that can cause fading reactions under specific conditions (such as washing, oxidation, light, etc.). Fading coatings include but are not limited to water-soluble ink fading layers, manganese subcarbonate fading layers, phenolphthalein fading layers, and daylight yellow fading layers; the corresponding specific conditions are washing, oxidation, chemical reaction, and light; and they are applied to clothing labels, food packaging, drug labels, and book labels, respectively.
[0033] Preferably, in clothing labels, water-soluble dyes such as water-soluble inks are used as dyes for the functional material layer 2. Compared with traditional solvent-based inks, water-soluble inks are more environmentally friendly, reduce pollution to the environment, and meet the requirements of modern society for environmentally friendly sustainable development. Compared with solvent-based inks, water-soluble inks are safer, do not contain harmful volatile organic compounds, and are more suitable for products that come into direct contact with the human body, such as clothing labels. Water-soluble inks are more easily dissolved and cleaned during the washing process, so the fading effect is more obvious. By cooperating with the air permeability and waterproofness of the protective film, the fading speed of the water-soluble ink can be effectively controlled, and the degree of use of the product can be more accurately indicated. At the same time, water-soluble dyes such as phenolphthalein or acid red, acid blue, etc. can be used. After the user has washed the product many times, the functional material layer 2 can gradually fade and form a difference with the main color of the product, which gives the user intuitive prompts and facilitates the user to understand the degree of use of the product.
[0034] Preferably in food packaging label, use oxidation reaction indicating dyes such as manganese subcarbonate as the dye of functional material layer 2, manganese subcarbonate is a white powder, but when exposed to oxygen, oxidation reaction can occur and be changed into colorless. This color change can be used to indicate the existence of oxygen or the change of oxygen concentration in food packaging. Because manganese subcarbonate is a nontoxic, harmless compound, and has no influence on food, it can be safely applied to food packaging. Its color change can remind consumers whether food packaging has been affected by oxygen, helps to keep the freshness and quality of food.
[0035] Preferably, in chemical labels, acid-sensitive dyes such as phenolphthalein dyes are used to change color when in contact with acidic chemicals. For example, blue dyes can be converted to colorless in an acidic environment to indicate leakage of acidic chemicals. Similarly, some alkali-sensitive dyes can also change color when in contact with alkaline chemicals. For example, red dyes can be converted to colorless in an alkaline environment to indicate leakage of alkaline chemicals. At the same time, the phenolphthalein fading layer can be applied to clothing labels, household cleaning products, pharmaceutical packaging, food packaging, cosmetic containers, industrial fields, outdoor products and other fields, and can serve as a reminder when encountering acidic and alkaline substances.
[0036] Preferably, in the book label, a photosensitive direct dye such as daylight yellow is used as the dye of the functional material layer 2. Daylight yellow will gradually fade after being exposed to sunlight for a period of time, and is used for printing text or patterns on the book label to provide a visual change effect. Other dyes that can be used for the functional material layer 2 are also included: photosensitive direct dyes: This type of dye will undergo a decomposition or color change reaction under sunlight or ultraviolet irradiation. They can be used for printing on book labels. When the book is exposed to sunlight for a long time, the text or pattern on the label will gradually fade. Photosensitive reducing dyes: This type of dye will undergo a reduction reaction after being exposed to light, thereby changing color or fading. They can also be used for printing on book labels. When the book is exposed to sunlight, the text or pattern on the label will gradually fade or fade. Photosensitive photoinitiator dyes: This type of dye will undergo a light-initiated reaction after being exposed to light, resulting in a change or fading of color. They are also suitable for printing on book labels. When the book is exposed to sunlight, the text or pattern on the label will gradually disappear or become blurred.
[0037] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 2 , Protective layer 3: Covered on the fading coating, used to protect the fading coating from direct influence of the external environment and control the fading speed. The protective layer 3 completely covers the fading coating or partially covers the fading coating. When the fading coating is not completely covered, different parts of the fading coating have different fading times, and the fading coating can play a progressive prompting role of prompting and warning. The protective layer 3 includes but is not limited to: polyvinyl chloride (PVC): PVC is a commonly used protective layer 3 material with good wear resistance and chemical resistance, which can effectively protect the label from erosion by water, oil, chemicals and other substances. Or, polyethylene (PE): PE material has good transparency and flexibility, and is suitable for use as the protective layer 3 of the label, which can protect the label surface from scratches and wear. Or, polypropylene (PP): PP material has good acid and alkali resistance and temperature resistance, and can be used to make a durable protective layer 3 to protect the label from chemicals and high temperature. Or, polyester (PET): PET material has excellent wear resistance and transparency, which can provide good protection effect and make the label surface smooth and clear. Or, polyurethane (PU): PU material has good wear resistance and temperature resistance, and is soft and elastic, suitable for use as a protective layer 3 of the label, which can effectively protect the label from damage. Or, coating film: In addition to the above-mentioned plastic materials, special coating films such as matte coating, glossy coating, etc. can also be used, which have good waterproof, anti-fouling, anti-scratch and other properties to protect the label surface. Or, special coating: Some labels need to be used in special environments, and special coatings such as anti-ultraviolet coatings, anti-static coatings, etc. can be used to meet specific protection needs.
[0038] By customizing the air permeability and waterproofness of the protective layer 3, the fading speed of the dye in the functional material layer 2 can be controlled. At the same time, the concentration of the dye, the printing thickness or the formulation process can be adjusted to accurately control the fading speed and color of the label. In another embodiment, a reduced dye can be used, and an oxidation-reduction reaction will occur during the washing process, resulting in a change in color. For example, a blue reduced dye will be converted into a yellow oxidized dye under oxidizing conditions. According to the above embodiment, two fading options, reversible and irreversible, are provided to meet the needs of different consumers.
[0039] Adhesive layer 5: used to attach the label to the product, which can be glue, double-sided tape or other adhesive materials. In other embodiments, the label can be attached to the product as a whole by sewing, hot pressing or other suitable attachment methods.
[0040] Printing layer 4: The text, pattern or barcode printed on the label is used to identify product information or brand identity. Preferably, thermal transfer technology is used to transfer the pattern and text to the target object through high temperature and high pressure to ensure the clarity and water resistance of the pattern.
[0041] The embodiments of this specific implementation method are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and are not intended to limit the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made based on the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
