Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of tinplate badges, in particular to a tinplate badge with a flexible touch 3D effect. Background Art

[0002] In the badge market, tinplate badges are a key category. As a type of badge, tinplate badges are widely available in the market. They are primarily made of imported tinplate, which is an iron sheet coated with a layer of tin. Tinplate itself offers numerous advantages. For one thing, the tin plating imparts strong corrosion resistance, making tinplate badges less susceptible to rust during normal use and storage, maintaining their appearance and integrity, and extending their service life. Furthermore, tinplate material is relatively inexpensive, and the associated manufacturing process is relatively simple. These factors combined make tinplate badges generally inexpensive. This price advantage allows tinplate badges to be widely used in a variety of market scenarios, such as as giveaways in promotional activities for food, nutritional supplements, and electronic products, or as personal and business gifts.

[0003] In the existing production and design of tinplate badges, although there are certain advantages in terms of materials and costs, there are obvious deficiencies in the surface structure of the badges. The surface of the tinplate badges currently on the market basically presents a bright curved structure. This single surface structure makes the badge surface lack a certain three-dimensional sense and touch. When the user touches the badge, he cannot feel the unique experience brought by the concave and convex deformable structure in addition to the flat surface and the curved surface. In modern badge design, more and more emphasis is placed on the user's comprehensive tactile and visual experience, and the existing tinplate badges are obviously lagging behind in this regard. The lack of a surface structure with a 3D stereoscopic touch effect limits the application of tinplate badges in high-end gifts, special souvenirs and other fields with high requirements for quality and experience, and cannot meet consumers' demand for a richer and more textured badge experience. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the surface structure of tinplate badges to break through the limitations of existing technologies, expand their scope of application and enhance user experience. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings, the present invention aims to provide a technical solution that can solve the above-mentioned problems.

[0005] A tinplate badge with a flexible touch 3D effect comprises a metal front cover, a metal back cover, a pin, a surface decorative film layer and a foam filling layer. The edge of the metal front cover extends backward to form an outer fixing ring, and the edge of the metal back cover extends forward to form an inner fixing ring. The metal front cover and the metal back cover are mutually clamped and covered by the outer fixing ring and the inner fixing ring. The pin is fixedly installed on the back of the metal back cover. The surface decorative film layer is wrapped around the surface of the metal front cover. The filling layer is filled and arranged between the metal front cover and the metal back cover. A hollow structure corresponding to the surface decorative film layer is opened on the metal front cover, so that the foam filling layer can be exposed along the hollow structure to form a bulging structure on the surface decorative film layer.

[0006] Preferably, the foam filling layer is made of EPE pearl cotton material, EPS polystyrene foam material or flexible rubber and plastic insulation material.

[0007] Preferably, the surface decorative film layer is provided with convex lines, and the convex lines correspond to the hollow structure.

[0008] Preferably, the edge of the surface decoration film layer is wound onto the back of the metal front cover so that the edge of the surface decoration film layer is clamped between the outer fixing ring and the inner fixing ring.

[0009] Preferably, the outer fixing ring extends obliquely inwardly along the edge of the metal front cover, and the inner fixing ring extends obliquely inwardly along the edge of the metal rear cover.

[0010] Preferably, the metal back cover is provided with a concave area inwardly, and a riveted structure is punched and formed on the concave area, and the pin is fixed to the concave area of ​​the metal back cover by the riveted structure.

[0011] Preferably, the metal front cover and the metal back cover are made of tinplate material.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0013] By combining a hollow structure with a foam filling layer, the exquisitely printed surface decorative film layer synergistically achieves a 3D tactile experience, enhancing the badge's texture and quality, satisfying user demand for high-quality, distinctive badges and enhancing the user experience. The hollow structure and foam filling layer are key to achieving the badge's 3D flexible touch effect.

[0022] The following is a clear and complete description of the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0023] See also Figure 1-4In an embodiment of the present invention, a tinplate badge with a flexible touch 3D effect is proposed, comprising a metal front cover 10, a metal back cover 20, a pin 30, a surface decorative film layer 40 and a foam filling layer 50. The metal front cover 10 and the metal back cover 20 are made of tinplate material. Tinplate material has a low cost and is used in large quantities to make the front cover and back cover of the badge, which can effectively control production costs. This makes the badge price competitive in the market. Whether it is used as a promotional gift or a mass-produced product, it can have a cost advantage and is conducive to expanding market share. The edge of the metal front cover 10 extends backward to form an outer fixing ring 11, and the edge of the metal back cover 20 extends forward to form an inner fixing ring 21. The metal front cover 10 and the metal back cover 20 are clamped and covered with each other through the outer fixing ring 11 and the inner fixing ring 21. The pin 30 is fixedly installed on the back of the metal back cover 20. The surface decorative film layer 40 is wrapped around the surface of the metal front cover 10. The filling layer is filled and arranged between the metal front cover 10 and the metal back cover 20, and a hollow structure 12 corresponding to the surface decorative film layer 40 is opened on the metal front cover 10, so that the foam filling layer 50 can be exposed along the hollow structure 12 to produce a bulging structure on the surface decorative film layer 40.

[0024] The metal front cover 10 and metal back cover 20 form the main frame of the badge. The front cover supports the surface decorative film layer 40, displaying the front pattern or logo of the badge. The back cover provides a mounting location for the pin 30 and, in conjunction with the front cover, creates a space for other components. The interlocking design of the outer retaining ring 11 and the inner retaining ring 21 securely holds the front and back covers together, ensuring the overall structural stability of the badge and preventing loosening or separation during use. This stable structural design ensures the badge remains intact during long-term wear or display, extending its lifespan. Furthermore, the relatively simple interlocking method facilitates production and assembly, improving production efficiency and reducing production costs. The pin 30 is used to secure the badge to items such as clothing and backpacks, enabling wearable features and convenient display. The surface decorative film layer 40 can display the badge's design content, such as brand logos, patterns, and text, through printing or other processes to convey specific information. Furthermore, it works in conjunction with the foam filling layer 50 to deform in areas where the foam filling layer 50 bulges, creating a 3D effect. The hollow structure 12 provides a bulging space for the foam filling layer 50 , so that the filling layer can apply pressure to the surface decoration film layer 40 at the corresponding position, thereby producing a protruding 3D effect.

[0025] Therefore, by using the hollow structure 12 in conjunction with the foam filling layer 50, a 3D stereoscopic touch effect can be achieved on the basis of the exquisite printing of the surface decorative film layer 40, thereby improving the texture and grade of the badge, satisfying the user's demand for high-quality, distinctive badges, and enhancing the user experience. Among them, the hollow structure 12 and the foam filling layer 50 are the key to achieving the badge's 3D flexible touch effect. This flexible protruding structure not only provides users with a unique tactile experience, but also makes the badge more visually three-dimensional, breaking through the limitations of the single curved surface structure of traditional tinplate badges and broadening the application prospects of tinplate badges in high-end gifts, distinctive souvenirs and other fields.

[0026] In the embodiment of the present invention, the foam filling layer 50 is made of EPE pearl cotton material, EPS polystyrene foam material or flexible rubber and plastic insulation material.

[0027] The EPE pearl cotton material has good elasticity and flexibility. When filling the internal space of the badge, it can effectively bulge outward through the hollow structure 12 of the metal front cover 10, thereby producing a bulging effect on the surface decorative film layer 40 and forming a 3D three-dimensional structure. In addition, the EPE pearl cotton material has good environmental performance and is degradable in the natural environment, which is in line with modern environmental protection concepts. This means that badges with this filling material have less pressure on the environment after being discarded, which is an important advantage for users and market environments that pay attention to environmental protection.

[0028] EPS polystyrene foam material has excellent shaping ability. During the badge production process, it can accurately bulge to form a specific 3D shape according to the hollow shape and size of the metal front cover 10, so that the decorative film layer 40 on the badge surface presents a rich and diverse three-dimensional effect to meet different design requirements; and EPS polystyrene foam material has a low cost, which can effectively control production costs while ensuring the 3D effect of the badge. For mass-produced badges, this can reduce prices and enhance market competitiveness while ensuring quality.

[0029] The flexible rubber-plastic insulation material is mainly made of nitrile rubber and polyvinyl chloride through a special foaming process. The flexibility of the flexible rubber-plastic insulation material enables it to adapt well to the space between the metal front cover 10 and the back cover, and when subjected to a certain pressure, it can smoothly protrude from the hollow structure 12 to form a 3D touch feeling.

[0030] In the embodiment of the utility model, surface decoration film layer 40 generally adopts paper material with printed pattern to make, can clearly and accurately present various exquisite patterns, characters, marks and other design contents through printing process, thereby giving badge unique visual image and conveying specific information, such as brand promotion, activity commemoration, identity mark etc. ; its surface has a layer of outer protective film to enhance its brightness and protect paper material, outer convex grain 41 is arranged on surface decoration film layer 40, outer convex grain 41 is made through embossing process, and outer convex grain 41 corresponds to hollow structure 12, and this corresponding design makes the 3D effect of badge more coordinated and natural, and outer convex grain 41 cooperates with the bulging of filling layer, which improves the delicacy and uniqueness of the badge. The enhanced 3D effect can also meet the demand of people for high-quality and characteristic badges, making the badge more competitive in the field of high-end gifts and characteristic souvenirs, and widening the application range of the badge. In order to enhance the ductility of surface decoration film layer 40 to adapt to the embossing process, the paper material on surface decoration film layer 40 can be made of ductile paper material to ensure the quality and stability of the production of outer convex grain 41, so that the 3D effect of the surface of the badge can be reliably realized. In installation, the edge of surface decoration film layer 40 is wrapped around the back of metal front cover 10, so that the edge of surface decoration film layer 40 is clamped between outer fixed ring 11 and inner fixed ring 21, that is, the metal front cover 10 and the metal rear cover 20 are closed to fix the surface decoration film layer 40. This installation method can firmly fix the surface decoration film layer 40 on the surface of the metal front cover 10, ensuring that it will not loosen or shift during use, and ensuring the stability of the overall structure of the badge.

[0031] In the embodiment of the utility model, outer fixed ring 11 extends in the direction inside the edge of metal front cover 10, and inner fixed ring 21 extends in the direction outside the edge of metal rear cover 20. This design has a simple structure and can be made by basic stamping process, ensuring the firmness between the closed metal front cover 10 and metal rear cover 20. Without complex and expensive equipment and special process, the production difficulty and cost are greatly reduced, facilitating mass production. Whether it is a small badge workshop or a large production enterprise, this process requirement can be easily realized, improving the production efficiency. In addition, when the metal front cover 10 and the metal rear cover 20 are closed through the inclined extension of the outer fixed ring 11 and the inner fixed ring 21, the inclined structure can form a close coupling between the two. In daily use, when the badge is subjected to external forces such as shaking and collision, this structure can effectively prevent the front cover and the rear cover from loosening or separating, ensuring the firmness of the overall structure of the badge and prolonging the service life of the badge.

[0032] The outer fixing ring 11 and the inner fixing ring 21 can also be set to a structure with a snap buckle, so that the outer fixing ring 11 and the inner fixing ring 21 can be snap-connected through the snap-lock structure after docking; the snap-lock connection method is simple to operate. When assembling the badge, the worker only needs to align the outer fixing ring 11 and the inner fixing ring 21 and press lightly, and the snap will automatically snap together to complete the connection. This convenient operation method greatly improves the assembly efficiency, especially in the mass production of badges, which can save a lot of time and labor costs. At the same time, once the snap-lock structure is snapped together, it can provide a strong connecting force, effectively preventing the front cover and the back cover from accidentally loosening during use, ensuring the stability of the badge structure, and the snap-lock structure also has a certain repeatable disassembly and assembly feature.

[0033] The outer retainer ring 11 and the inner retainer ring 21 can also be connected by bonding, interference fit, or rivet fit. Different connection methods have their own advantages and disadvantages, and manufacturers can flexibly select the most suitable connection method based on their own production equipment, process level, cost control, and other factors. Among them, bonding is relatively simple and low-cost, suitable for situations where the connection strength requirements are not particularly high; interference fit does not require additional connectors and can provide a good connection tightness; rivet fit is suitable for situations where the connection strength requirements are higher. This process flexibility enables badge production to achieve efficient and high-quality production under different conditions.

[0034] In an embodiment of the present invention, the metal back cover 20 is provided with an inwardly concave area 22, and a rivet structure 23 is punched and formed on the concave area 22. The pin 30 is fixed to the concave area 22 of the metal back cover 20 via the rivet structure 23. The concave area 22 is configured to prevent the pin 30 from protruding from the rear of the tinplate badge, so that when worn on the chest, the edge of the tinplate can be in close contact with the clothing on the chest without causing excessive shaking. This helps to reduce the discomfort caused by the protrusion of the pin 30 on the chest, making the wearer feel more comfortable, as if the badge is flatly attached to the clothing. In addition, the punched and formed rivet structure 23 is relatively easy to implement during the production process, and can be completed using the corresponding mold and stamping equipment. This simple and efficient production method helps to improve the production efficiency of the badge and reduce production costs. At the same time, it also ensures the quality and stability of the pin 30 fixation, so that all badges produced in batches can have good pin 30 fixation effect.

[0035] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential features of the present invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered in all respects as illustrative and non-restrictive, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description, and it is intended that all variations that come within the meaning and range of equivalents of the claims be embraced within the present invention.
