Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of reflective film technology, specifically to a capsule-type microprism reflective film. Background Technology

[0002] Ordinary microprism reflective film is used for road traffic signs. The purpose of creating a watermark within the microprism reflective film is for product identification and anti-counterfeiting.

[0003] The current microprism reflective film structures mainly fall into two categories: (1) printing watermarks on the inner surface of the protective layer without prisms or on the surface of the prism layer of the reflective film; (2) setting watermark patterns on the prism surface (the surface in contact with the air layer) of the microprism, which requires implementation in the pre-forming stage of the microprism, i.e., engraving watermark patterns on the prism surface of the nickel mold, and then bonding the film to the prism surface of the nickel mold, forming watermarks on the surface of the film through high temperature and high pressure. However, the existing microprism reflective film structure design is unreasonable. If the watermark is printed on the inner surface of the protective layer or on the surface of the prism layer, if it is an acrylic film, it is relatively brittle and easily torn during the printing process. It also requires the ink to be heat resistant, have good adhesion to the protective layer or prism layer, and have very low residual solvent requirements to prevent bubbling at the ink when the prism is formed under high temperature and high pressure after printing. The prism surface watermark requires special supporting equipment to laser engrave the watermark on the mold surface, which requires equipment investment. Moreover, since the structure of the prism is damaged during the engraving process, the retroreflection coefficient at the watermark is also low. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a capsule-type microprism reflective film with reasonable structural design, convenient manufacturing, low manufacturing cost, good anti-counterfeiting effect and good practicality.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a capsule-type microprism reflective film, comprising an adhesive layer, a release layer disposed on the lower surface of the adhesive layer, a support layer disposed on the upper surface of the adhesive layer, a prism layer disposed at the upper end of the support layer, a protective layer disposed on the upper surface of the prism layer, an air layer disposed between the support layer and the prism layer, a connecting post and a watermark pattern layer disposed on the upper surface of the support layer, and a capsule structure formed by pressing the upper surface of the support layer with the lower surface of the prism layer in a partial manner.

[0006] The present invention is further configured such that: the connecting column is formed into a hexagonal structure by embossing process, and the upper end of the connecting column is bonded and fixed to a local position on the lower surface of the prism layer.

[0007] The present invention is further configured such that: the air layer is pressed by an embossing roller at high temperature and high pressure, the embossing speed is 0.5-3.0m / min, the temperature is 200-250℃, and the pressure is 2-4kgf.

[0008] The present invention is further configured such that: the support layer includes a base film, the base film is a PC film, a copolyester film or an acrylic hot melt adhesive film, and the watermark pattern layer is disposed on the base film.

[0010] The present invention is further configured such that the watermark pattern of the watermark pattern layer is set to gray or color.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: Compared with the prior art, this utility model has a reasonable structural design. A watermark layer is printed on the base film of the support layer towards the prism layer, and then embossed to become an integral part of the prism layer. Due to the transparency of the microprism layer and the protective layer, the watermark on the surface of the support layer can be seen from the surface of the reflective film. The structure is reasonable, easy to manufacture, has low manufacturing cost, good anti-counterfeiting effect, and good practicality.

[0012] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. Attached Figure Description
