Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to tin badge technical field, especially a tin badge with atmosphere lamp effect. BACKGROUND

[0002] The tin badge is mainly made of imported tin as the core material. The tin is actually a kind of iron sheet plated with a layer of tin. This special material composition gives the tin badge many obvious advantages, supporting its development and application in the market from multiple dimensions.

[0003] Firstly, in terms of corrosion resistance, the tin layer plated on the surface of the tin plays a key role. With this tin plating process, the tin badge has strong corrosion resistance. Whether in the process of normal use, experiencing wear and tear in different environments, contacting various substances, or in a long-term storage state, the tin badge can effectively resist the erosion of external factors and greatly avoid the occurrence of rust. In this way, the badge can maintain the integrity of its appearance for a long time, its overall aesthetic is well maintained, thereby significantly extending the service life of the badge and enabling it to play its value and role as a badge for a long time.

[0004] Secondly, from the cost perspective, the tin material itself has relatively low cost, which undoubtedly lays a foundation for the tin badge in terms of price. At the same time, the production process is not complex, and it does not require high process costs and complex human and material resources for processing and production. Considering both material cost and production process, the tin badge often has a relatively low price.

[0005] In terms of market application scenarios, this price advantage has become a powerful driving factor for the widespread application of tin badges. For example, in the promotion activities of many products, such as food, nutritional products, and electronic products, the tin badge is often chosen as a gift to attract consumers, enhance the added value of products, and enhance the brand promotion effect. In addition, it also has a place in personal gifts, business gifts, and other fields, and with its diverse design, small and portable features, and affordable price, it becomes a suitable choice for people to express their feelings, convey emotions, or carry out business transactions.

[0006] However, it's important to note that existing tinplate badges on the market have certain structural limitations. Specifically, they lack inherent lighting capabilities and lack the ability to produce a luminous effect. To create a certain luminous effect in low-light environments, such as at night, they are often coated with a fluorescent or reflective layer. However, in practice, these fluorescent or reflective layers have numerous drawbacks. First, the color range of fluorescent layers is relatively limited, making them difficult to meet diverse visual needs and the demand for rich colors in various scenarios, which in turn limits their aesthetics and applicability. Second, the light emitted by fluorescent layers is relatively weak, and in some dark environments, it may not provide a clear and distinct indication of brightness, making it difficult to achieve the desired visual effect. Furthermore, the use of reflective layers has significant limitations. In completely dark environments, due to the lack of a reflective source, they simply cannot produce a reflective effect. Consequently, tinplate badges still cannot effectively illuminate in these challenging environments. Furthermore, if tinplate badges are equipped with lighting, they will inevitably require switches or light beads, which will affect their overall aesthetics.

[0007] To sum up, in view of the wide application of tinplate badges in the market and the problems of the lack of lighting function and the insufficiency of related compensatory measures in the current structural settings, it is necessary to conduct in-depth research and propose an effective improvement technical solution to break through the existing limitations, further expand the application scope and use value of tinplate badges, and better meet the diversified needs of the market.

[0016] Preferably, the metal front cover and the metal back cover are made of tinplate material.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0018] By setting a light-emitting panel between the metal front cover and the metal back cover, on which lamp beads are arranged, and forming a closed loop through battery cells, control buttons, switch chips, etc., the lamp beads overcome the problem of poor luminous effect of traditional tinplate badges in dim light environments; whether in a darker indoor environment or an outdoor environment at night, as long as the middle of the metal front cover is pressed to create a certain depression to trigger the control button, the lamp beads will emit light and provide sufficient light, no longer limited by the defects of weak light of the traditional fluorescent layer and the need for a reflection source of the reflective layer, thereby enhancing the visibility of the badge in low light environments.

[0019] The surface decorative layer is made of translucent material, and the metal front cover is provided with lamp holes corresponding to the lamp beads. This design allows the light to pass through the decorative layer and the lamp holes when the badge is lit, creating an atmosphere light effect, which is more beautiful than the traditional single-color fluorescent layer.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0030] 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.

[0031] See also Figure 1-5 In the embodiment of the present invention, a tinplate badge with an atmosphere light effect includes a metal front cover 10, a metal back cover 20, a pin 30 and a surface decorative layer 40. The metal front cover 10 and the metal back cover 20 are made of tinplate material. Tinplate has good corrosion resistance and processing performance, good external light texture, relatively low cost, and can be recycled; 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 decoration layer 40 is wrapped around the surface of the metal front cover 10. The metal front cover 10 has a bulging structure protruding forward, so that the middle part of the metal front cover 10 can be pressed repeatedly. A light-emitting panel 50 is arranged between the metal front cover 10 and the metal back cover 20. A control button 51 is arranged on the light-emitting panel 50, which abuts against the middle part of the metal front cover 10. The light-emitting panel 50 is also provided with a battery cell 52, a switch chip 53 and at least one lamp bead 54. The battery cell 52, the control button 51, the switch chip 53 and the at least one lamp bead 54 are electrically connected to form a closed circuit. The surface decoration layer 40 is made of light-transmitting material, and a lamp hole 12 corresponding to the lamp bead 54 is opened on the metal front cover 10.

[0032] A light-emitting panel 50 is set between the metal front cover 10 and the metal back cover 20, and a lamp bead 54 is set on the light-emitting panel 50, and a closed loop is formed through the battery cell 52, the control button 51, the switch chip 53, etc., wherein the battery cell 52 and the switch chip 53 are connected in series and then connected in parallel with at least one lamp bead 54, and then the control button 51 is connected to the control end of the switch chip 53. When the lamp bead 54 needs to be turned on or off, a command signal is generated by pressing the control button 51 and given to the switch chip 53. After receiving the command signal, the switch chip 53 turns on or off the circuit of the battery cell 52 and the lamp bead 54. This circuit configuration for the lamp beads 54 is simple, overcoming the problem of poor luminescence in low-light environments with traditional tinplate badges. Whether in a dark indoor environment or outdoors at night, simply pressing the center of the metal front cover 10 to create a slight depression triggers the control button 51, and the lamp beads 54 will illuminate, providing sufficient light. This eliminates the limitations of the traditional fluorescent layer's weak light and the reflective layer's need for a reflective source, enhancing the badge's visibility in low-light environments. To achieve a flexible and varied atmosphere, the switch chip 53 can be a single-chip microcomputer. By pre-installing a corresponding control program in the microcontroller, the microcontroller uses this control program to control the on and off of the lamp beads 54 upon pressing the button, achieving flexible and variable light intensity and color. The surface decorative layer 40 is made of a translucent material, and the metal front cover 10 is provided with a light hole 12 corresponding to the light bead 54. This design allows light to pass through the decorative layer and light hole 12 when the badge is illuminated, creating an ambient lighting effect that is more aesthetically pleasing than traditional single-color fluorescent layers. This design meets diverse visual needs, enhancing the badge's aesthetics and decorative qualities, allowing it to display rich colors and visual effects in various scenarios. Furthermore, the metal front cover 10 features a forward-protruding bulge with a repetitively pressable center. This design cleverly incorporates the control button 51 within it, preventing it from obtrusively appearing on the badge's surface and avoiding the need for additional features such as an on / off button or light bead 54, which would otherwise detract from the overall aesthetics. Furthermore, the metal front cover 10 and metal back cover 20 are locked together by an outer retaining ring 11 and an inner retaining ring 21. The pin 30 is fixed to the back of the metal back cover 20, creating a simple and stable structure that ensures the badge's normal use and durability.

[0033] See also Figure 3-4The embodiment of the present invention further proposes that there are multiple lamp holes 12 and lamp beads 54, and the multiple lamp beads 54 are evenly arranged around the edge of the light-emitting board 50, and the multiple lamp holes 12 are evenly distributed at the edge of the metal front cover 10; so that light is diverged outward from all angles, avoiding the uneven lighting, shadows, or local overbrightness and local darkness that may occur with a single point light source; when the lamp beads 54 are illuminated, they can provide stable and uniform light for the badge in all directions, creating a soft and full atmosphere lighting effect, greatly improving the overall visual presentation of the badge. An adhesive layer 22 is provided on the back of the light-emitting board 50, and the light-emitting board 50 is adhered to the metal back cover 20 through the adhesive layer 22; the adhesive layer 22 is a relatively concealed fixing method, and no obvious fixing structure traces can be seen from the outside of the badge, which will not damage the integrity and aesthetics of the badge's appearance; compared with the use of screws and other exposed fixing methods, the badge as a whole looks more refined and simple, meeting people's aesthetic requirements for beautiful decorative items, especially in some application scenarios with high requirements for appearance.

[0034] See also Figure 3 The present invention further proposes that the surface decorative layer 40 includes a light-scattering layer 41, a pattern layer 42 disposed on the light-scattering layer 41, and a light-transmitting protective layer 43 disposed on the pattern layer 42. The light-scattering layer 41 effectively scatters the light emitted by the light-emitting panel 50. When the lamp beads 54 emit light, the light passes through the light-scattering layer 41, and the light that may have been more concentrated is evenly dispersed, avoiding the situation where the light is too bright in some places and affects the overall visual aesthetics. When the badge is lit, the entire badge presents a soft, uniform, and full lighting effect, improving the quality of the ambient lighting effect and making the badge look good from all angles. The pattern layer 42 adds more personalized and artistic elements to the badge. A variety of exquisite patterns can be printed according to different themes and uses, such as event logos, commemorative elements, brand logos, etc., which not only makes the badge have lighting functions, but also becomes a unique display medium, meeting the diverse needs of different user groups for unique appearance, cultural connotation expression, etc., greatly expanding the application scenarios and commemorative and decorative value of the badge. The light-transmitting protective layer 43 does not block light transmission, ensuring the proper display of the luminous effect. It also protects the pattern layer 42 and the light-scattering layer 41. It prevents scratches and abrasions on the pattern layer 42 and physical damage to the light-scattering layer 41. This maintains the integrity of the functional structures of the surface decorative layer 40, ensuring that the badge maintains its excellent appearance and luminous visual effects over long-term use.

[0035] See also Figure 4The edge of the surface decoration layer 40 is wound around the back of the metal front cover 10, and is clamped between the outer fixing ring 11 and the inner fixing ring 21. The edge of the surface decoration layer 40 is wound around the back of the metal front cover 10 and is clamped between the outer fixing ring 11 and the inner fixing ring 21. This fixing method makes the surface decoration layer 40 tightly combined with the metal front cover 10 and the metal back cover 20. During daily wear and use, even if it is pulled or rubbed by external forces, the surface decoration layer 40 is not prone to displacement, loosening or warping, ensuring that it is always in the correct position, maintaining the stability of the overall structure of the badge and the integrity of its appearance.

[0036] See also Figure 4 The outer retaining ring 11 extends obliquely inward from the edge of the metal front cover 10, while the inner retaining ring 21 extends obliquely outward from the edge of the metal back cover 20. This oblique design creates a "dovetail"-like structure when the outer and inner retaining rings 11 and 21 are engaged. Compared to conventional vertical or parallel engagement methods, this structure is less likely to become disengaged or loosened when subjected to external forces. This significantly strengthens the connection between the metal front cover 10 and the metal back cover 20, ensuring the overall structural stability of the badge and extending its lifespan.

[0037] See also Figure 2 The metal back cover 20 is provided with a recessed area 23, and a rivet structure 24 is punched into the recessed area 23. The pin 30 is fixed to the recessed area 23 of the metal back cover 20 via the rivet structure 24. The rivet structure 24 ensures that the pin 30 will not loosen or fall off easily during long-term use, ensuring the reliability of the badge and improving the user experience. The recessed area 23 makes the mounting area of ​​the pin 30 relatively concave, avoiding the pin 30 protruding from the surface of the metal back cover 20 and causing an unobtrusive appearance, while maintaining the overall smoothness and aesthetics of the metal back cover 20.

[0038] See also Figure 2 The metal back cover 20 is recessed with a concave area 23, and a punched rivet structure 24 secures the pin 30. This riveting method ensures a very stable connection between the pin 30 and the metal back cover 20. During daily wear of the badge, the pin 30 needs to be frequently inserted and removed from clothing and other wearable items, subjecting it to certain tensile forces and friction. The rivet structure 24 ensures that the pin 30 will not easily loosen or fall off during long-term use, ensuring the reliability of the badge and improving the user experience.

[0039] 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.
