The drawings described below are only some embodiments of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without creative effort.

[0023] The above solution will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments. It should be understood that these embodiments are for illustrating the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. The implementation conditions used in the embodiments can be further adjusted according to the conditions of specific manufacturers, and the implementation conditions not specified are usually the conditions in conventional experiments.
[0024] For the automotive stainless steel decorative panel of this utility model embodiment, see [link / reference]. Figure 1 It includes a stainless steel substrate layer 10, a heat insulation layer 20, a black adhesive layer 30, a transparent PET layer 40, a color layer 50, and a protective film layer 60, where the color layer 50 is a paint layer. The stainless steel substrate layer 10 undergoes a degreasing treatment on one side, i.e., ... Figure 1 The upper surface shown is passivated to form a heat-insulating passivation layer. Then, a layer of black adhesive 30 is applied or sprayed onto the outer surface of the heat-insulating passivation layer. This not only facilitates the subsequent bonding and fixing of the transparent PET layer 40, but also ensures color consistency of the decorative panel, improves its aesthetics, and further enhances its protective function. Next, a transparent PET layer 40 is adhered to the outer surface of the black adhesive layer 30, i.e., the side facing away from the heat-insulating layer 20. This transparent PET layer 40 protects the stainless steel substrate layer 10 during bending, preventing the bending angle from turning white and causing defects that would affect the aesthetics of the decorative panel. Finally, a color layer 50 is applied to the outer surface of the transparent PET layer 40, i.e., the side facing away from the black adhesive. The color layer 50 enhances the aesthetics of the decorative panel. It should be noted that the color layer 50 can be sprayed or coated with various colors of paint according to actual usage requirements. Finally, a protective film 60 is applied to the outer surface of the color layer 50, i.e., the side facing away from the transparent PET layer 40, to form a protective film layer 60 on the outer surface of the stainless steel decorative panel. This film layer 60 serves to protect the color layer 50 and the stainless steel substrate layer. In actual use, the protective film layer 60 can be removed to improve the color saturation and smoothness of the decorative panel. The automotive stainless steel decorative panel of this embodiment uses stainless steel as the substrate. After passivation treatment to form a heat-insulating passivation layer, a black adhesive layer 30, a transparent PET layer 40, and a color layer 50 are sequentially applied. Finally, a film is applied to form a stainless steel decorative panel for automotive decoration. The structure is simple. While meeting the requirements for lightweighting, the stainless steel substrate layer 10 is extensible and will turn white when bent. The transparent PET layer 40 in this invention prevents the bending angle from turning white when the decorative panel is bent, improving its aesthetics. Furthermore, because the transparent PET layer 40 is translucent, the black adhesive layer 30 ensures color consistency and enhances the adhesion of the transparent PET layer 40, thereby improving the structural strength of the decorative panel.
[0025] In this embodiment, the stainless steel substrate layer 10 can be selected from 3-series stainless steel, such as the commonly available 304, or 4-series stainless steel, such as the commonly available 436 or 442. Those skilled in the art can choose according to the intended use of the final product. The thickness is also not particularly limited and can be selected from 0.2 to 1.0 mm.
[0026] In this embodiment, the heat insulation layer 20 is formed by applying a heat insulation coating, which is a mixture of conventional stainless steel passivation liquid and heat insulation material, onto the upper surface of the stainless steel substrate layer 10. The specific formulations of the passivation liquid, heat insulation material, and heat insulation coating are not described or limited, as they are readily known and implemented by those skilled in the art and are not the innovation of this invention. The thickness of the heat insulation layer 20 is also not described or limited in detail; those skilled in the art can make selections based on actual needs. The formation of the heat insulation layer 20 enables the decorative panel to have heat insulation functionality, making it suitable for automotive decoration, especially for interior panels. In this embodiment, the heat insulation layer 20 preferably adopts a heat insulation passivation layer, which improves the heat insulation functionality of the decorative panel and also allows the subsequent black adhesive layer 30 to better bond with the stainless steel substrate layer 10.
[0027] In this embodiment, the black adhesive is preferably a commercially available epoxy resin black adhesive. The thickness is not described or limited and can be selected and designed according to actual needs. The black adhesive can be bonded to the outer surface of the heat insulation layer 20 using conventional coating or spraying methods.
[0028] The thickness of the transparent PET layer 40 in this embodiment is not specifically described or limited, and can be selected according to actual needs. The PET layer has high hardness and chemical resistance, which not only improves the protection of the decorative panel, but more importantly, ensures that the bending angle of the decorative panel will not turn white when bent, thus affecting its aesthetics. In this embodiment, the transparent PET layer 40 is bonded to the outer surface of the black adhesive using a conventional lamination method. The operation is simple.
[0029] In this embodiment, the color layer 50 is a paint layer of various colors selected according to actual needs, which can be bonded to the outer surface of the transparent PET layer 40 by conventional coating or spraying methods. For example, the color layer 50 can use commercially available water-based or oil-based paints; specific details are not described or limited. The purpose is twofold: firstly, to improve the protection of the stainless steel substrate layer 10; and secondly, to increase the color vibrancy of the decorative panel, enhance its aesthetics, and thus improve the product's market competitiveness. The thickness of the color layer 50 is not specifically described or limited and can be selected and designed according to actual needs.
[0030] In this embodiment, the protective film layer 60 is a conventional PE protective film available on the market. It can be bonded to the outer surface of the color layer 50 by conventional lamination methods or by adhesive bonding. In actual use, the protective film layer 60 can be peeled off, which can improve the color gloss and the smoothness of the feel.
[0031] Additionally, it should be noted that, Figure 1 The thickness of each structural layer shown does not represent its actual thickness.
[0032] The above examples are only for illustrating the technical concept and features of this utility model, and are intended to enable those skilled in the art to understand the content of this utility model and implement it accordingly. They should not be used to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. All equivalent changes or modifications made in accordance with the spirit and essence of this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
