[0023] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0024] As described in the background section, some ink layers are directly applied to the cover plate. However, poor ink adhesion on the cover plate of electronic products has always been a prominent problem, which can easily lead to ink peeling, fading, and other phenomena, affecting the appearance and service life of the product.

[0025] To solve this technical problem, this utility model provides a cover plate structure that enhances ink adhesion, which is applied in the field of cover plate technology.

[0026] For details, please refer to Figures 1-4A cover plate structure for enhancing ink adhesion includes a substrate layer 1 and a reverse cover ink layer 6. A coupling agent coating 4 is provided between the substrate layer 1 and the reverse cover ink layer 6. A resin coating 5 is provided between the coupling agent coating 4 and the reverse cover ink layer 6. The coupling agent coating 4 forms a chemical bonding layer on the surface of the substrate layer 1. The resin coating 5 improves surface wettability and enhances the adhesion between the reverse cover ink layer 6 and the coupling agent coating.

[0027] This utility model provides a cover plate structure that enhances ink adhesion. A coupling agent coating is added to the surface of the substrate layer, forming a stable chemical bonding layer that strengthens the chemical bond with the reverse cover ink layer. A resin coating is applied over the coupling agent coating to improve surface wettability and adhesion, providing a good intermediate layer for ink adhesion. The combined effect of the coupling agent coating and the resin coating significantly improves the adhesion of the reverse cover ink layer to the substrate layer, ensuring coating stability and enhancing ink adhesion. This effectively improves the bonding performance between the cover plate and the ink, increasing ink adhesion and durability, and ultimately improving product quality.

[0028] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0029] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features and technical solutions in the present invention can be combined with each other.

[0030] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items. Therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.

[0031] Please refer to Figures 1-4 A cover plate structure for enhancing ink adhesion includes a substrate layer 1 and a reverse cover ink layer 6. A coupling agent coating 4 is disposed between the substrate layer 1 and the reverse cover ink layer 6, and a resin coating 5 is disposed between the coupling agent coating 4 and the reverse cover ink layer 6. The coupling agent coating 4 is applied to the substrate layer 1 to form a stable chemical bonding layer on the surface of the substrate layer 1, enhancing the chemical bonding force with the reverse cover ink layer 6. The resin coating 5 is applied on the coupling agent coating 4 to improve surface wettability and adhesion, providing a good intermediate layer for ink adhesion. The dual effect of the coupling agent coating 4 and the resin coating 5 significantly improves the adhesion of the reverse cover ink layer 6 to the substrate layer 1, ensuring coating uniformity and stability, enhancing ink adhesion, effectively improving the bonding performance between the cover plate and the ink, improving ink adhesion and durability, and improving product quality.

[0032] The substrate layer 1 is made of a transparent rigid material such as glass, or it can be a transparent flexible material. The side of the substrate layer 1 includes an invisible area 2 and a visible area 3. The reverse cover ink layer 6 is coated on the invisible area 2, which allows for the setting of different shapes of the invisible area 2 according to requirements. The invisible area 2 is set around the outer ring of the visible area 3, which can better display the pattern of the reverse cover ink layer 6. In this example, the cover structure is a display cover. The reverse cover ink layer 6 is coated with black ink to achieve a light-blocking effect. Other colored inks can also be used for coating.

[0033] It is worth mentioning that the coupling agent coating 4 is coated with a silane coupling agent, which is selected from at least one of aminosilane and epoxysilane, such as γ-aminopropyltriethoxysilane. The coating amount is 110-130 g / m². The silane coupling agent is dissolved in a suitable solvent to prepare a solution with a concentration of 50-70%. The coupling agent is fully dissolved and uniformly dispersed by stirring, ultrasonication, etc. It is coated on the substrate layer by spraying, dipping, brushing, etc. Then, it is cured at a certain temperature (such as 80℃-90℃) for 1-2 minutes, so that the silane coupling agent forms a stable chemical bond layer on the surface of the cover plate substrate layer, which enhances the chemical bonding force with the ink, thus obtaining the coupling agent coating with a thickness of 0.5-1.0 μm.

[0034] It is worth noting that the solution preparation and coating process of the coupling agent coating 4 are conventional methods, and this utility model has not improved them, so they will not be described in detail here.

[0035] Resin coating 5 is an acrylic polyurethane coating, which is applied to the cured coupling agent coating using methods such as spraying, dipping, or brushing, followed by drying to obtain the resin coating, with a thickness selected from 4-7 μm. This resin coating improves surface wettability and adhesion, providing a good intermediate layer for ink adhesion. It is worth noting that the acrylic polyurethane coating and coating process are existing conventional methods, and this invention does not improve upon them, so they will not be described in detail here.

[0036] The reverse ink layer 6 is coated using screen printing or inkjet printing, employing conventional printing processes such as screen printing and inkjet printing. Curing is achieved using ultraviolet curing or thermal curing to ensure the ink evenly covers the surface of the substrate layer 1. After printing, drying or curing is performed according to the ink's curing requirements to form a strong bond between the ink and the coating, further improving the ink's adhesion and durability. The coupling agent coating 4 has a thickness of 0.5-1.0 μm, the resin coating 5 has a thickness of 4-7 μm, and the reverse ink layer 6 has a thickness of 8-15 μm. The total thickness of the coupling agent coating 4, resin coating 5, and reverse ink layer 6 is 12-23 μm.

[0037] like Figure 4As shown, the surface of the reverse ink layer 6 is provided with a UV-curable or heat-curable protective film 7, and the thickness of the protective film 7 is 2-5μm. The protective film 7 is a UV-curable protective film, such as polyurethane acrylate (PUA) or epoxy acrylate (EA), which has high transparency, fast curing characteristics, and high light transmittance, and is used to protect the reverse ink layer 6 from being contaminated or worn.

For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection, an electrical connection, or a connection that allows communication between them; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components, unless otherwise explicitly limited. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0039] Obviously, the embodiments described above are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments.
