Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of product exterior finishes, specifically to a panel with localized three-dimensional textures (such as the panels of household appliances or appliances like water heaters and washing machines). Background Technology

[0002] Home appliances such as water heaters and washing machines have many function buttons. Existing function buttons are identified by pasting colored patterns on the surface of the panel. This structure is prone to poor adhesion because the pasting area is small and the panel is connected by additional adhesive. Alternatively, different coloring layers can be applied to the function button area to distinguish it from other areas. Although this method can improve the prominence of the function buttons, it cannot present a three-dimensional texture effect.

[0003] To enhance the 3D texture effect of function keys, some researchers have set 3D textures in the function key area. However, due to the small size of the function key area, the 3D effect of this single 3D texture is not very obvious. Utility Model Content

[0004] This application addresses the aforementioned shortcomings of the prior art by providing a panel with localized three-dimensional texture that can make the three-dimensional texture effect in local areas more obvious and can also increase the gloss of the localized three-dimensional texture.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted in this application is as follows: a panel with local three-dimensional texture, the structure of which includes a base layer, wherein the base layer has at least a first surface and a second surface disposed opposite to each other along its thickness direction, the first surface is an outer surface, and a UV anti-glare texture layer is disposed on the outer surface, the second surface is an adhesion surface, and a first coloring layer, a local UV color printing layer or a local UV color printing layer, a first UV texture layer or a UV three-dimensional texture layer and a second coloring layer are disposed sequentially from the inside to the outside on the adhesion surface.

[0006] Using the above structure, this application provides a UV anti-glare texture layer on one side of the two surfaces with opposite thicknesses of the base layer, which serves as the outer surface. This effectively prevents users from being dizzy from the texture and provides a softer visual experience. On the other surface, a first UV texture layer or a UV three-dimensional texture layer and a local UV color printing layer or a local UV color printing layer are superimposed on each other, thereby effectively enhancing the texture of the area. Combined with subsequent coloring layers, this can be used on local areas such as function keys to improve the three-dimensional effect of the texture in that area and achieve a more ideal gloss.

[0007] Furthermore, a second UV texture layer or a UV three-dimensional texture layer is also provided on the second surface, which is located between the second surface and the first coloring layer; by adopting this structure, an additional texture layer is added to achieve the superposition of multiple textures, thereby improving the overall display effect of the three-dimensional texture of the panel.

[0008] Furthermore, the second coloring layer extends along the second surface extension direction of the base layer and overlaps with the local UV color printing layer or the local UV color printing layer along the thickness direction; by adopting this structure, the gloss and three-dimensional effect of the local three-dimensional texture can be enhanced.

[0009] Furthermore, the first coloring layer is a regular coloring layer or a metallic coloring layer, and the first coloring layer is a transparent layer; with this structure, a more ideal gloss can be given to the texture, and this setting is below the second UV texture layer or UV three-dimensional texture layer. The color of the first coloring layer is superimposed on the second UV texture layer or UV three-dimensional texture layer, and then the color of the second coloring layer is superimposed on the partial UV color printing layer or partial UV color printing layer, thereby forming a more ideal gloss.

[0010] Furthermore, the second coloring layer comprises at least three layers, and the coloring layer attached to the surface of the first UV texture layer or UV three-dimensional texture layer is a mirror oil coloring layer; this structure can effectively protect the internal texture and color, preventing scratches; moreover, the mirror oil coloring layer can further enhance the gloss of the local texture of the overall panel.

[0011] Furthermore, the base layer, UV anti-glare texture layer, second UV texture layer or UV three-dimensional texture layer, first color layer, partial UV color printing layer or partial UV color printing layer and first UV texture layer or UV three-dimensional texture layer are transparent or semi-transparent layers. By adopting this scheme, after the above layers are superimposed on each other along the thickness direction, the texture and color can be superimposed and presented without being blocked, so that the final panel presents a more ideal gloss and three-dimensional texture superposition effect.

[0012] Furthermore, the thickness of the base layer is 0.5-2mm. This thickness provides support for the other layers, ensuring that the panel has a certain thickness and hardness, which facilitates subsequent bonding and lamination with the product.

[0013] Furthermore, the base layer is a base layer made of PC, PET, ABS, PMMA, PP or PETG materials; using these materials, deformation is not easily caused during injection molding, and a stable composite with other layer structures can be achieved.

[0014] Furthermore, this application also provides an application of a panel with local three-dimensional texture, which can be applied to various fields including large and small home appliances, furniture, 3C products, or automotive interiors, such as water heaters, washing machines, refrigerators, air conditioners, steam ovens, water dispensers, range hoods, mobile phones, computers, or automotive interior surfaces, etc. Attached Figure Description

The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0023] As attached Figure 1-5 As shown, this application discloses a panel with a local three-dimensional texture. The panel structure includes a base layer 1. The base layer 1 has at least a first surface 101 and a second surface 102 disposed opposite to each other along its thickness direction. The first surface 101 is the outer surface (i.e. the surface that is close to the user's direct observation). A UV anti-glare texture layer 2 is disposed on the outer surface (using commercially available anti-glare UV ink coating, sprayed on the outer surface and then UV cured). The second surface 102 is the adhesion surface. From the inside to the outside (i.e., from the direction close to the adhesion surface to the direction away from the adhesion surface), a first coloring layer 3, a local UV color printing layer or a local UV color printing layer 4, a first UV texture layer or a UV three-dimensional texture layer 5, and a second coloring layer 6 are disposed sequentially on the adhesion surface.

[0024] Using the above structure, this application provides a UV anti-glare texture layer on one side of the two surfaces with opposite thicknesses of the base layer, which serves as the outer surface. This effectively prevents users from being dizzy from the texture and provides a softer visual experience. On the other surface, a first UV texture layer or a UV three-dimensional texture layer and a local UV color printing layer or a local UV color printing layer are superimposed on each other, thereby effectively enhancing the texture of the area. Combined with subsequent coloring layers, this can be used on local areas such as function keys to improve the three-dimensional effect of the texture in that area and achieve a more ideal gloss.

[0025] As attached Figure 1-5As shown, the second surface 102 described in this application is further provided with a second UV texture layer or a UV three-dimensional texture layer 7, which is located between the second surface 102 and the first coloring layer 3. By adopting this structure, an additional texture layer is added to achieve the superposition of multiple textures, thereby improving the overall display effect of the three-dimensional texture of the panel. The second UV texture layer or UV three-dimensional texture layer here can be a regular UV texture or a three-dimensional texture structure, or a UV texture layer with one part being a UV three-dimensional texture and the other part being a UV three-dimensional texture.

[0026] As attached Figure 1-5 As shown, the second coloring layer 6 of this application extends along the extension direction of the second surface 102 of the base layer 1 and overlaps with the local UV color printing layer or the local UV color printing layer 4 along the thickness direction; by adopting this structure, the gloss and three-dimensional effect of the local three-dimensional texture can be enhanced.

[0027] As an example, the first coloring layer 3 described in this application is a common coloring layer or a metallic coloring layer, and the first coloring layer 3 is a transparent layer; using this structure, a more ideal gloss can be given to the texture, and this setting is below the second UV texture layer or UV three-dimensional texture layer. The color of the first coloring layer is superimposed on the second UV texture layer or UV three-dimensional texture layer, and then the color of the second coloring layer is superimposed on the partial UV color printing layer or partial UV color printing layer, thereby forming a more ideal gloss; the common coloring layer or metallic coloring layer uses commercially available coloring pigments, which are then sprayed onto the surface of the structural layer and dried, such as metallic topcoat and other materials.

[0028] As attached Figure 1-5 As shown, the second coloring layer 6 described in this application comprises at least three layers, and the coloring layer attached to the surface of the first UV texture layer or UV three-dimensional texture layer 5 is a mirror oil coloring layer (such as commercially available mirror ink products, which can be applied by spraying, scraping, or screen printing, etc.). With this structure, the internal texture and color can be effectively protected to prevent scratches; moreover, the mirror oil coloring layer can further enhance the gloss of the local texture of the overall panel.

[0029] As an example, the base layer 1, UV anti-glare texture layer 2, second UV texture layer or UV three-dimensional texture layer 7, first color layer 3, partial UV color printing layer or partial UV color printing layer 4, and first UV texture layer or UV three-dimensional texture layer 5 are transparent or semi-transparent layers. By adopting this scheme, after the above layers are superimposed on each other along the thickness direction, the texture and color can be superimposed and presented without being blocked, so that the final panel presents a more ideal gloss and three-dimensional texture superposition effect.

[0030] As an example, the thickness of the base layer described in this application is 0.5-2mm, and more preferably 0.6-1mm. This thickness can provide support for the other layers, ensuring that the panel has a certain thickness and hardness, which facilitates subsequent bonding and lamination with the product.

[0031] As an example, the base layer described in this application is a base layer made of PC, PET, ABS, PMMA, PP or PETG materials; using these materials, deformation is not easily caused during injection molding, and a stable composite with other layer structures can be achieved.

[0032] This application also provides an application for a panel with local three-dimensional texture, which can be applied to various fields including large and small home appliances, furniture, 3C products or automotive interiors, such as water heaters, washing machines, refrigerators, air conditioners, steam ovens, water dispensers, range hoods, mobile phones, computers or automotive interior surfaces, etc.

[0033] The coloring layer described in this application uses ink of the desired color, which is attached to the surface of the corresponding material layer by means of printing, spraying, roller coating, or screen printing. The UV three-dimensional texture or partial UV three-dimensional texture layer of this application can be prepared by a 3D multi-channel three-dimensional texture mold process, that is, UV adhesive is applied to the mold, then an attachment layer is covered, the UV coating (UV adhesive) is imprinted on the mold with texture, and then the imprinted UV coating is cured by UV light source. After curing, the master mold is removed to obtain an attachment layer with the master mold pattern. Excess UV adhesive on the attachment layer is removed. For details, please refer to the specific content of "Preparation method of multi-channel 3D nano-texture and three-dimensional LOGO mold" or "Preparation method of multi-channel 3D nano-texture mold". The UV layer of this application can be prepared using a similar process. The thickness of the partial UV three-dimensional texture layer, partial UV color printing layer or printing layer, coloring layer, etc. of this application can be at the micrometer, nanometer or millimeter level, which can be adjusted according to the needs of the specific product, such as in the thickness range of 10-500 micrometers.

[0034] This application describes a partial UV color printing layer or partial UV color printing layer, which is printed or printed onto the surface of a corresponding structural layer using methods such as spraying, scraping, or screen printing. The area of ​​this layer structure can be equal to the area of ​​the corresponding upper and lower structural layers, but the UV color printing or UV color printing pattern is only provided in a localized area, or it may be as shown in the attached diagram. Figure 5 As shown, this is only a local setting; the space created in the surrounding areas can be filled with subsequent layer structures.

[0035] The injection-molded product with local three-dimensional texture obtained in this application, through the setting of local texture structure, allows the product image to observe that the texture has a significant three-dimensional texture display effect and has a very ideal gloss. When used to display the function key area of ​​the decorative panel of an appliance, it can give users a very clear selection.
