DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0030] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of the utility model.

[0031] Please refer to Figures 1-4 In the embodiments of the utility model, a tin badge realizing hierarchical touch feeling includes a badge main body 1, the outer surface of the badge main body 1 is provided with a first pattern layer 2, a second pattern layer 3 and a transparent protective coating 4.

[0032] The first pattern layer 2 is formed by etching, carving or stamping process, and part of the first pattern layer 2 has a first set height 5.

[0033] The second pattern layer 3 is made by 3D printing process and partially overlaps the first pattern layer 2 to form an overlapping area 6 and a non-overlapping area 7, wherein in the overlapping area 6, part of the second pattern layer 3 is higher than the first pattern layer 2 to form a second set height 8, and in the non-overlapping area 7, the second pattern layer 3 is independently presented on the outer surface of the badge main body 1.

[0034] The transparent protective coating 4 covers the entire outer surface of the badge main body 1.

[0035] In the technical solutions of the utility model, the touch feeling of the traditional badge is limited to a single plane, which cannot meet the pursuit of unique experience by consumers at present. The core goal of the design is to completely break this traditional mode, and to bring users an unprecedented rich touch feeling by constructing multiple pattern layers with different height levels on the outer surface of the badge main body 1.

[0036] Firstly, the first pattern layer 2 is made by etching, carving or stamping process. Taking the etching process as an example, it is to use chemical solution to selectively corrode the surface of tin, and by accurately controlling the corrosion time and solution concentration, it can form patterns with different depths on the surface of tin, so as to shape part of the area with a certain depth and make it have the first set height 5. The carving process is to cut the surface of tin by hand or mechanically with professional tools, and directly carve out the patterns with protrusions 15 or depressions, which also gives the first pattern layer 2 a three-dimensional shape. The stamping process deforms the tin material by the pressure of the mold to form patterns with specific height and shape. The use of these three processes lays a solid three-dimensional foundation for the entire badge and preliminarily constructs the hierarchical structure of the badge.

[0037] On this basis, the second pattern layer 3 is made by using a 3D printing process, the 3D printing technology is based on a digital model, material is accumulated layer by layer according to a preset path, and the position and thickness of each layer of material can be accurately controlled; when the second pattern layer 3 partially overlaps the first pattern layer 2, the height of the second pattern layer 3 in the overlapping area 6 is higher than that of the first pattern layer 2 by fine adjustment of 3D printing parameters, thereby forming a second set height 8, and in the non-overlapping area 7, the 3D printing technology can independently build a complete pattern, thereby further enriching the level and three-dimensionality of the badge pattern; thanks to this ingenious design, the user can clearly feel the height difference between different pattern layers when touching the badge, thereby achieving a rich touch experience.

[0038] The outer side surface of the badge body 1 is covered with a transparent protective coating 4, which is used to protect the first pattern layer 2 and the second pattern layer 3 from wear and tear and scratches in daily use.

[0039] In summary, the user can obviously feel the height difference between different pattern layers when touching the badge, and different elements in the badge pattern can be distinguished by touching with a finger, thereby greatly enhancing the interest and interactivity of the touch, the unique touch feeling is incomparable to traditional badges, and a brand-new sensory enjoyment is brought to the user; the multi-level pattern design not only performs well in the touch feeling, but also is more eye-catching in the visual effect; different height pattern layers are interwoven, thereby forming rich light and shadow changes, so that the badge presents a unique visual effect under different angles and light, and the overall appearance and artistic value of the badge are improved.

[0040] In the embodiment of the utility model, the badge body 1 has an upper cover 9 and a lower cover 10 made of tinplate, and the upper cover 9 and the lower cover 10 are connected and matched.

[0041] The outer side surface of the upper cover 9 is provided with the first pattern layer 2, the second pattern layer 3 and the transparent protective coating 4, and the outer side surface of the lower cover 10 is provided with a pin 11.

[0042] The badge body 1 is divided into the upper cover 9 and the lower cover 10, and both are made of tinplate, the tinplate has good mechanical properties and processing performance, and is easy to perform various forming operations; the upper cover 9 bears the main pattern display function, the outer side surface is provided with the first pattern layer 2, the second pattern layer 3 and the transparent protective coating 4 made by different processes, and the design characteristics and the appearance of the badge can be better presented; the pin 11 is arranged on the outer side of the lower cover 10, mainly from the wearing function, the pin 11 is a common and practical fixing device, which is arranged on the lower cover 10, so as to be convenient for being connected with objects such as clothes, and the wearing purpose of the badge is realized.

[0043] In the embodiment of the utility model, the upper cover 9 and the lower cover 10 are movably connected and form the badge body 1 with a containing space.

[0044] The elastic connecting structure is fixedly connected with the inner side of the lower cover 10 at the lower end, and elastically abuts against the inner side of the upper cover 9 at the upper end.

[0045] The badge body 1 is connected by the movable connecting structure, and the elastic connecting structure is additionally arranged between the upper cover 9 and the lower cover 10, so that the upper cover 9 moves under the support of the elastic connecting structure, and the positions of the first pattern layer 2 and the second pattern layer 3 are changed.

[0046] In the embodiment of the utility model, the elastic connecting structure includes the connecting column 12 fixedly arranged on the inner side of the lower cover 10 and the telescopic spring 13 sleeved on the connecting column 12, one end of the telescopic spring 13 away from the connecting column 12 elastically abuts against the upper cover 9, and the inner side of the upper cover 9 is provided with the recessed groove position 14 abutting against the telescopic spring 13.

[0047] When the user pushes the upper cover 9, the connecting column 12 cooperates with the telescopic spring 13 to provide stable support for the displacement of the upper cover 9 along the predetermined track, the positions of the first pattern layer 2 and the second pattern layer 3 are changed due to the height difference between the two pattern layers arranged on the different covers, and the telescopic spring 13 can also provide operation feedback and reset function for the user.

[0048] In embodiment 1, a plurality of movable connecting points are arranged at the edges of the upper cover 9 and the lower cover 10, the movable connecting points include the protrusions 15 arranged at the edges of the upper cover 9 and the recesses 16 arranged at the edges of the lower cover 10, the protrusions 15 are matched with the recesses 16, so that the upper cover 9 can rotate relative to the lower cover 10 around the movable connecting points.

[0049] By this design, a clear rotation track and axis for the movement of the upper cover 9 relative to the lower cover 10 is established. When the user operates the badge to rotate the upper cover 9 around the movable connection point, the first pattern layer 2 and the second pattern layer 3 fixed to the upper cover 9 will rotate synchronously. Since the first pattern layer 2 and the second pattern layer 3 have different heights, shapes, and relative position relationships, their angles and positions relative to the user's fingers change constantly during rotation. For example, the user may first touch the higher area of the first pattern layer 2, and then touch the higher area of the second pattern layer 3 after the rotation of the upper cover 9, or the overlapping part of the two pattern layers may contact the finger in different ways during rotation. At the same time, the elastic connection structure composed of the connecting column 12 and the extension spring 13 will cause the upper cover 9 to produce slight elastic fluctuations during rotation, further changing the contact state between the first pattern layer 2, the second pattern layer 3, and the finger, and thus providing the user with a rich and varied touch experience.

[0050] In embodiment 2, a plurality of guide groove 17 and guide column 18 matching structures are arranged at the edges of the upper cover 9 and the lower cover 10. The guide column 18 is fixed to the edge of the lower cover 10, and the guide groove 17 is opened at the edge of the upper cover 9 and corresponds to the guide column 18.

[0051] The top of the guide column 18 is provided with an anti-falling protrusion 19, and the corresponding position of the guide groove 17 is provided with a clamping groove 20 matched with the anti-falling protrusion 19.

[0052] When the user presses down the upper cover 9, the upper cover 9 moves linearly along the guide column 18 in the guide groove 17.

[0053] Since the first pattern layer 2 and the second pattern layer 3 are fixed to the upper cover 9, their positions change accordingly when the upper cover 9 is pressed down. The first pattern layer 2 and the second pattern layer 3 have different heights, shapes, and relative position relationships. For example, when the upper cover 9 is pressed down, the overlapping area 6 of the first pattern layer 2 and the second pattern layer 3 increases, and the pattern textures of the overlapping part interweave with each other, so that the user will feel a new and more complex texture combination when touching. At the same time, the elastic connection structure composed of the connecting column 12 and the extension spring 13 will cause the upper cover 9 to produce slight elastic deformation when the relative positions of the upper cover 9 and the lower cover 10 change, which further changes the contact state between the first pattern layer 2, the second pattern layer 3, and the finger. For example, the upper cover 9 may have a short rebound under the action of elasticity, causing the contact between the first pattern layer 2, the second pattern layer 3, and the finger to change momentarily, and a smooth touch experience may suddenly appear a short fluctuation, thus providing the user with a rich and varied touch experience.

[0054] The anti-falling protrusion 19 at the top of the guide column 18 is matched with the clamping groove 20 at the corresponding position of the guide groove 17, when the upper cover 9 is pressed to a certain extent, the anti-falling protrusion 19 will be clamped in the clamping groove 20, preventing the upper cover 9 from being separated from the lower cover 10 due to excessive pressing or other accidental external force. It can be understood that the anti-falling protrusion 19 can be matched with the clamping groove 20 by plastic deformation.

[0055] It is obvious for those skilled in the art that the present application is not limited to the details of the above exemplary embodiments, and can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of the present application. Therefore, the embodiments should be regarded as exemplary and non-limiting, and the scope of the present application is defined by the appended claims rather than the above description, and all changes falling within the meaning and scope of the equivalent elements of the claims are intended to be included in the present application.
