DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0028] Figures 1-3 The license plate signing device and the license plate signing system are used for identifying and signing a motor vehicle license plate. The motor vehicle license plate comprises a license plate body and a reflective film on a side surface of the license plate body. After signing by the license plate signing system, a two-dimensional code, special characters and a serial number are formed on the surface of the motor vehicle license plate. The two-dimensional code, the special characters and the serial number are located at the upper left corner of the motor vehicle license plate. The special characters have special visual effects of floating up and sinking down, and the relative positions of the special characters will relatively move when an observer dynamically observes the surface of the license plate. For a high-speed motor vehicle license plate, the dynamic special characters have more superior identification effect and anti-counterfeiting effect than static characters.

[0029] In the embodiment, the special characters are formed by using integrated imaging technology. Integrated imaging is an automatic stereoscopic and multi-view three-dimensional imaging technology. A large numerical aperture lens is used to converge a laser beam in front of or behind a microlens array. The convergence point collects and records the laser recording material under the microlens array. The relative positions between the focusing point of the laser beam and the microlens array are changed to form patterns. Finally, a special visual effect of three-dimensional dynamic space imaging is formed.

[0030] As Figure 1As shown, the motor vehicle license plate is located below the first signing device 1, and the first signing device 1 is used to sign special characters on the surface of the motor vehicle license plate. The first signing device 1 includes a support 10, a laser emitting device 11, a detection device 12, a moving platform 13, a diffusion sheet 14, an automatic displacement device 15, and an imaging lens 16. The laser emitting device 11 is installed on the top of the support 10 and includes a laser and a galvanometer and field lens assembly (not shown) at the output end of the laser. The moving platform 13 is fixed in the middle of the support 10 and can move up and down in the vertical direction. The moving platform 13 is connected with the automatic displacement device 15 and drives the automatic displacement device 15 to move synchronously up and down, so as to adjust the height of the diffusion sheet 14 and the imaging lens 16 in the vertical direction. The automatic displacement device 15 is used to carry the diffusion sheet 14 and adjust the displacement of the diffusion sheet 14 in the horizontal direction, so as to ensure that the structure of the laser beam passing through the surface of the diffusion sheet 14 is complete and has no loss. The imaging lens 16 is installed below the automatic displacement device 15. The detection device 12 is installed between the laser emitting device 11 and the diffusion sheet 14 and is used to detect the structure of the surface of the diffusion sheet 14. The detection device 12 can be a high-resolution camera or a camera. The diffusion sheet 14 can be single or multiple pieces. In this embodiment, the diffusion sheet 14 is in a high-low arrangement. The diffusion sheet 14 can be any one of optical devices with diffusion effect, such as frosted optical glass, grating, microlens array, or cylindrical lens array. In this embodiment, the frosted optical glass is preferred.

[0031] The laser beam is emitted along the laser emitting device 11, passes through the diffusion sheet 14, and is imaged by the imaging lens 16, so as to increase the numerical aperture and further increase the field of view. Finally, a dynamic spatial image with floating and sinking effects is obtained by signing.

[0032] The main function of the diffusion sheet is to diffuse the laser beam into a uniform spot. It disperses the originally concentrated laser energy onto a larger area through special optical design, thereby achieving uniform distribution of energy. Continuous high-power laser (especially continuous wave laser) generates heat accumulation in local area, which causes the diffusion sheet material to melt, carbonize, or the microstructure to deform, resulting in thermal accumulation damage of the diffusion sheet. In addition, the photon energy of ultraviolet or short-wavelength laser (such as 355nm and 266nm) is high, which may directly damage the microstructure of the diffusion sheet. The effects of thermal accumulation damage and photon energy impact cause the microstructure of the surface of the diffusion sheet to be damaged, which cannot guarantee the effect of laser application, and further affects the signing quality.

[0033] Referring to Figure 2In the utility model, diffusion sheet 14 is located on automatic displacement device 15, and with automatic displacement device 15 displacement in horizontal direction, guarantee that the surface structure of diffusion sheet 14 that laser beam passes is complete, further improve the stability of laser signing. Specifically, automatic displacement device 15 includes motor 150, rotating shaft 151, clamping seat 152, sliding block 153, sensor 154, guide rail 155, diffusion sheet fixing frame 156, support plate 157. Motor 150 is installed on mobile platform 13, and one end of rotating shaft 151 is connected with the output shaft of motor 150, and the other end of rotating shaft 151 is installed in clamping seat 152, and clamping seat 152 is concave, and clamping seat 152 is fixed on support plate 157, and sliding block 153 is installed below support plate 157, and sliding block 153 is slidably connected with guide rail 155, and guide rail 155 is located in horizontal direction, and is vertically installed on the surface of mobile platform 13, and rotating shaft 151 rotation drives sliding block 153 to slide on guide rail 155. Diffusion sheet fixing frame 156 is arranged above support plate 157, and diffusion sheet 14 is tightly fixed in diffusion sheet fixing frame 156, and sensor 154 is installed outside sliding block 153, and is used for monitoring the displacement distance of automatic displacement device 15. When motor 150 rotates, support plate 157 can be driven to slide along the direction of guide rail 155, and then the displacement of diffusion sheet 14 in horizontal direction is accurately adjusted.

[0034] In the utility model, diffusion sheet 14 adopts roughened optical glass, and the wide side is parallel to the side of guide rail 155, and the width is 2cm. The displacement of diffusion sheet 14 along the direction parallel to guide rail caused by rotating motor 150 each time can be set according to actual conditions, and can be 0.3mm, 0.5mm, 1mm, 1.5mm, 2mm, etc. without limitation, so that the position of laser beam falling on diffusion sheet 14 changes, as shown in the drawing, and the landing point of laser beam on diffusion sheet 14 moves from A, A' to B, B'. Figure 3 In the utility model, diffusion sheet 14 adopts roughened optical glass, and the wide side is parallel to the side of guide rail 155, and the width is 2cm. The displacement of diffusion sheet 14 along the direction parallel to guide rail caused by rotating motor 150 each time can be set according to actual conditions, and can be 0.3mm, 0.5mm, 1mm, 1.5mm, 2mm, etc. without limitation, so that the position of laser beam falling on diffusion sheet 14 changes, as shown in the drawing, and the landing point of laser beam on diffusion sheet 14 moves from A, A' to B, B'.

[0035] The detection device 12 can detect the microstructure of the laser beam passing through the surface of the diffuser 14 in real time. Once the surface microstructure of the diffuser 14 changes under the action of high-energy laser for a long time, the change can be a sudden structural change, or the long-term structural loss reaches a certain degree, and the detection device 12 can quickly identify and feedback to the control system (not shown). The control system controls the motor to rotate and drive the diffuser 14 on the automatic displacement device 15 to displace, and under the monitoring of the sensor 154, it moves to the next effective area (the effective area refers to the area on the diffuser where the microstructure is not damaged), and then further signs, and finally signs the dynamic space image with good floating and sinking effect, ensuring the signing effect and product quality of the license plate signing device.

[0036] As shown in Figure 4 , it is a license plate signing system, which includes a workbench 5, and the license plate can move on the surface of the workbench. Specifically, the license plate can be continuously conveyed on the surface of the workbench through a track and pass through a first signing station 4 and a second signing station (not shown) in turn. The first signing device 1 and the second signing device 2 are arranged on the workbench 5 in turn. The first signing device 1 signs the first identification information on the surface of the license plate located at the first signing station 4, and the second signing device 2 signs the second identification information on the surface of the license plate located at the second signing station. The first identification information is a special character, and the second identification information is a two-dimensional code and a serial number. The first identification information and the second identification information are located at the upper left corner of the license plate. The lighting device 3 is located before the first signing device 1, and the lighting device 3 provides light for the first signing device 1 to sign the license plate. Specifically, the lighting device 3 includes multiple surface light sources facing different directions. The surface light source is used instead of the traditional point light source as the supplementary light source when the license plate is photographed, so that the light can fall more evenly on the license plate when it is photographed, and a high-quality image is obtained. In addition, a CCD camera is installed inside the lighting device 3, which is used to photograph the reflective film on the surface of the license plate and upload it to the control system. The identification of the reflective film of the manufacturer who needs to sign is stored in the control system. The control system determines whether the license plate located at the first signing station 4 can be signed based on the license plate information collected by photographing. If yes, the first signing device 1 and the second signing device 2 are controlled to sign. If not, the first signing device 1 and the second signing device 2 are not controlled to sign. The identification of the reflective film is the identification provided on the surface of the reflective film for identification, which is arranged at the middle or periphery of the reflective film. The identification of the reflective film can be the trademark of the reflective film manufacturer, the model, color or other characteristic identification of the reflective film. Finally, the license plate is signed by the first signing device 1 and the second signing device 2 to complete the first identification and the second identification, and is output from the workbench 5.

[0037] The above merely describes some embodiments of the present application. For those skilled in the art, without departing from the inventive concept, some modifications and improvements can be made, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present application.
