Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of intelligent textile technology, and more specifically, to a novel coaster. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, household and kitchen heat insulation mats mainly use traditional materials such as silicone, cork, bamboo, cotton, and linen. They achieve anti-scalding protection through physical heat insulation and have been widely used in daily life.

[0003] However, while these products achieve basic thermal insulation, they still fall short in terms of durability, aesthetics, and multi-functional expansion. With the increasing demand for smart homes and personalized consumption, consumers require thermal insulation pads that not only possess excellent thermal insulation performance but also offer more fun and interactivity, further enhancing product value and user experience.

[0004] Existing coaster products have relatively simple functions, mostly only having basic heat insulation functions, and lacking intelligent or interactive designs supported by modern technology. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a new type of temperature-sensitive heat-insulating coaster to solve the problems of traditional coasters having limited functions, lacking intelligent and interactive designs, and failing to meet the needs of modern consumers.

[0022] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of this utility model and are not intended to limit it.

[0023] To address the numerous shortcomings of existing traditional coasters, this invention presents a novel temperature-sensitive coaster featuring a three-layer composite fabric design, such as... Figure 1 As shown, this design combines traditional plant dyeing techniques with modern color-changing technology, resulting in products with dynamic color-changing effects and excellent physical properties. The three-layer structure comprises a laser-cut perforated surface layer, a temperature-sensitive color-changing layer coated with modern color-changing material, and a heat-insulating layer. The selection of materials and processing techniques for each layer play a crucial role in the realization of this embodiment. The three-layer design is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0024] In the design process of this embodiment, the overall size of the fabric, such as 20×20cm, is first determined, and the material and specific pattern style of the fabric and dye are selected to ensure that they meet the purpose and aesthetics of the product.

[0025] In this embodiment, the perforated surface layer uses indigo-dyed handmade fabric as the first layer material. A perforated pattern is then created on top of this fabric according to a pre-set design, forming the perforated pattern section. The perforated pattern is as follows... Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment selects the traditional auspicious lotus pattern, with the black pattern portion being hollowed out to enhance the product's cultural expression. Specifically, laser cutting equipment can be used for the hollowing process, and the speed, frequency, and other related settings of the equipment can be adjusted according to the type and thickness of the fabric. During the cutting process, auxiliary gas can be used to cool the cutting surface to reduce scorching, such as nitrogen. The equipment needs to maintain a constant speed and power during the cutting process to ensure the smoothness of the cut. The above equipment adjustment methods and principles are understandable to those skilled in the art and will not be elaborated further.

[0026] Inspect the cut fabric, removing any debris or small residues generated during the cutting process to ensure the cut pattern is clear and complete. For natural fiber fabrics, if rough edges or scorching occur at the cut edges, it may be necessary to reinforce the edges using a heat sealer or other tools to ensure the durability of the finished product. Finish the cut fabric, including pre-pressing the cut pieces or processing them into pleats, to meet subsequent use or splicing requirements.

[0027] The layer below the perforated surface is a thermochromic layer, and the color change of the thermochromic layer can be seen through the perforated pattern. This layer uses a synthetic fiber fabric as the coating surface, and a layer of thermochromic material is evenly adhered and coated on it. The thermochromic material can change color according to temperature changes and is not limited to a certain material. Those skilled in the art can choose the required material according to their needs. The coating thickness is 0.1-0.5mm.

[0028] Specifically, thermochromic materials can be microencapsulated organic thermochromic pigments, such as the R / F series. Microencapsulated thermochromic materials typically encapsulate the thermochromic pigment within microcapsules. Their color-changing principle often relies on temperature-induced chemical reactions or conformational changes, such as proton transfer reactions. When the temperature reaches a set threshold, the core substance undergoes structural or electronic state changes, resulting in a rapid color change. Those skilled in the art can understand this material and its color-changing principle. In brief, the microcapsule encapsulation not only physically isolates the core color-changing component, thus improving its stability against light, chemical corrosion, and mechanical wear, but also facilitates mixing with other materials and processing into various composite materials or coatings.

[0029] Preferably, sodium alginate is dissolved in warm water at 40-50℃. This temperature range helps maintain the stability of its molecular chains and avoids viscosity reduction caused by high temperatures. The resulting sodium alginate paste is then fused with a thermochromic material to create the modern color-changing material required for the product. The thermochromic material is chosen to change from blue to white when heated. After coating, a curing process, such as UV curing or heat curing, is required to ensure the coating's durability and color-changing effect in daily applications.

[0030] In addition, a transparent protective layer can be coated on the outer layer of the thermochromic layer to improve its abrasion resistance and water resistance. The protective layer is designed with the outer layer and is mainly used to improve the abrasion resistance, water resistance and UV resistance of the thermochromic material, thereby extending the product's service life.

[0031] The protective surface layer is made of transparent and highly durable materials, such as environmentally friendly polysiloxane. This physically protects the color-changing and dyeing layers from external damage and provides excellent heat and chemical resistance, ensuring the fabric maintains stable performance in varying environments. To enhance breathability and flexibility, its thickness is controlled within 10-20 micrometers to ensure fabric comfort.

[0032] Below the temperature-sensitive color-changing layer is a heat insulation layer, which can increase the heat insulation effect. In this embodiment, the heat insulation layer can be selected from reflective heat insulation fabric, food-grade silicone, or chemical fiber materials. Among them, reflective heat insulation fabric is usually a thin metal film, such as aluminum film, attached to ordinary textile polyester. Its principle is to use the high reflectivity of metal to reflect heat radiation, thereby reducing heat transfer. This type of fabric is also commonly used in emergency thermal blankets, outdoor clothing, and some building insulation applications.

[0033] In this embodiment, the hollowed-out surface layer, the temperature-sensitive color-changing layer, and the heat insulation layer preferably have the same outer contour dimensions, and the outer periphery of the coaster body is provided with an edge. This three-layer structure is stable and can further improve the protection of the product's edges and reduce its damage rate.

[0034] Furthermore, to improve the applicability of the coaster body, it is designed as a connectable product, allowing different coaster bodies to be spliced ​​together to form new coaster shapes, such as... Figure 3 As shown, at least one side of the coaster has a splicing portion, which includes several protruding connecting portions and concave mating portions. One connecting portion between two coaster bodies can be spliced ​​with the other mating portion. Of course, it is not limited to the shape shown in this embodiment; any coaster body that can be spliced ​​together is acceptable.

[0035] While the present invention has been disclosed above, it is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art can make various modifications and alterations without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention; therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be determined by the scope defined in the claims.

[0036] Finally, it should be noted that in this document, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used only to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Furthermore, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus.
