[0024] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.
[0025] See also Figures 1 to 4, providing a crystal-like decorative ornament, wherein the acrylic body 7 is a polygonal structure, with a plurality of irregular surfaces of various sizes distributed on the outside, and a coating structure formed on the outer surface of the acrylic body 7, which can make the decorative ornament produce a crystal-like effect. The following mainly provides two implementation methods:
[0026] Example 1: Structure as Figure 2 As shown, the coating structure includes, from the inside out, a treatment agent layer 1 for enhancing surface adhesion, a primer layer 2 as a base, an aluminum film layer 3 for reflecting light, and a mid-paint layer 4 for providing color. The treatment agent layer 1 is attached to the surface of the acrylic body 7. The thickness of the treatment agent layer 1 sprayed on the surface of the acrylic body 7 is 8-15um, the thickness of the sprayed primer layer 2 is 20-30um, the thickness of the aluminum film layer is 40-70um, and the thickness of the sprayed mid-paint layer 4 is 6-10um. Both the primer and the mid-paint are UV paints.
[0027] The main production process is to spray the treatment agent layer 1 on the surface of the acrylic main body 7 - spray the primer layer 2 - evaporate the coating (aluminum film layer 3) - spray the middle paint layer 4; first, spray the treatment agent layer 1 on the surface of the acrylic main body 7. Since the acrylic surface has low adhesion and cannot be painted directly, the treatment agent layer 1 is first sprayed on the surface of the acrylic main body 7. The treatment agent layer 1 can enhance the adhesion of the surface of the acrylic main body 7. Then, spray the primer layer 2 on the treatment agent layer 1 to improve the adhesion of the electroplating layer. The primer layer 2 helps to form a uniform and smooth surface, providing a more ideal base for subsequent coating and coloring steps. Then, evaporation coating is performed. The film coated is an aluminum film, which increases the metallic texture and reflectivity. Finally, the middle paint layer 4 is sprayed. The color of the middle paint layer 4 can be adjusted according to the customer's personalized needs. It is sprayed between the primer layer 2 and the coating to form a layer of rich color. This step not only enriches the color options for the acrylic body 7 but also adds a sense of depth and depth. The evaporation coating reflects the color of the midcoat layer 4 and eliminates the visible pitting problem, giving it a smoother and flatter appearance from the front. In summary, this series of process steps together constitutes the fine spraying and surface treatment process for acrylic bodies. Each of these steps is performed sequentially to ensure the final product has excellent appearance, durability, and functionality.
[0028] Example 2: Structure as Figure 3As shown, the coating structure includes, from the inside out, a treating agent layer 1 for enhancing surface adhesion, a primer layer 2 as a base, an aluminum film layer 3 for reflecting light, a mid-paint layer 4 for providing color, a printed film layer 5 for providing contrast, and a topcoat layer 6 for providing protection. The treating agent layer 1 is attached to the surface of the acrylic body 7. The thickness of the treating agent layer 1 sprayed on the surface of the acrylic body 7 is 8-15um, the thickness of the sprayed primer layer 2 is 20-30um, the thickness of the aluminum film layer is 40-70um, the thickness of the sprayed mid-paint layer 4 is 6-10um, the thickness of the sprayed printed film layer 5 is 10-14um, and the thickness of the sprayed topcoat layer 6 is 18-25um.
[0029] like Figure 4 As shown, Example 2, based on Example 1, adds three additional steps: laser engraving, printing, and spraying a topcoat layer 6. After spraying a treatment agent layer 1, a primer layer 2, an evaporative coating, and a midcoat layer 4 on the surface of an acrylic body 7, laser engraving can then be performed on the midcoat layer 4 and aluminum film layer 3. Laser engraving requires carving through the plating layer and allows for the design of various patterns and / or text. Printing is then performed after laser engraving to form a white printed film layer 5. This white printed layer may be used to provide contrast, enhance visual effects, or meet specific design requirements. Printing on top of laser engraving further enhances the product's visual appeal. Finally, a topcoat layer 6 is sprayed on the outermost layer to protect all previous paint and plating layers. The primer layer 2, midcoat layer 4, and topcoat layer 6 are all UV lacquer, which not only offers excellent protective properties but also provides gloss and weather resistance. Cured by ultraviolet light, the UV lacquer dries quickly and forms a strong protective layer that resists scratches, fading, and corrosion.
[0030] The thicknesses of the treating agent layer 1, primer layer 2, aluminum film layer 3 and mid-paint layer 4 in Example 1 and Example 2 are consistent. The thickness of the printed white paint in Example 2 is 10-14um, and the thickness of the sprayed topcoat layer 6 is 18-25um. By selecting the thicknesses of the above paint layers and film layers to achieve an optimal aesthetic experience and accurately control the film thickness range, the uniformity and stability of the coating are ensured, and problems such as cracking and falling off caused by excessively thick coatings are avoided.
[0031] The utility model provides an ornament with an imitation crystal effect, which replaces the glass material of traditional imitation crystal products with acrylic material, thereby reducing the production cost of the imitation crystal products. In addition, based on the characteristics of the acrylic material, a coating structure is constructed on the surface of the acrylic body 7, which improves the beauty of the acrylic and protects the acrylic body, and has the effect of being difficult to scratch and corrode.
[0032] The above is only a preferred specific implementation method of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to this. Any technician familiar with the technical field within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention can make equivalent replacements or changes based on the technical solution and utility model concept of the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
