Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of label technology, and in particular to a thermal printing wristband. Background Technology

[0002] Thermally printed wristbands, due to their real-time information variability and ease of use, have been widely used in temporary identification in scenarios such as healthcare, logistics, and exhibitions. However, most wristband products on the market currently suffer from design limitations, failing to meet the high requirements for durability and reliability in practical applications. Many wristbands use only a single material or a simple composite structure, a design that reveals significant drawbacks in actual use. The edges of the wristband, in particular, are highly susceptible to wear due to the lack of effective protection. Once the edges are damaged, it not only ruins the overall appearance of the wristband but may also cause the printed information area to detach from the wristband substrate, significantly reducing the wristband's lifespan. Utility Model Content

[0003] The main purpose of this invention is to propose a thermally printed wristband, which aims to improve the durability and reliability of the wristband.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention proposes a thermal printing wristband, comprising a thermal layer and a substrate layer, wherein the thermal layer and the substrate layer are stacked, the substrate layer extends on both sides in the width direction to form an edge-wrapping structure, covering the width edge of the thermal layer, and the substrate layer is aligned with the end of the thermal layer in the length direction.

[0005] In one embodiment, the substrate layer is made of HDPE.

[0006] In one embodiment, the substrate layer has a length of 267 mm and a width of 30 mm;

[0007] The length of the thermal layer is 267 mm and the width of the thermal layer is 27 mm.

[0008] In one embodiment, the substrate layer has a plurality of first vent holes;

[0009] The heat-sensitive layer has a plurality of second vent holes, and each second vent hole corresponds to a first vent hole.

[0010] In one embodiment, the distance between two adjacent first vent holes is 8 mm.

[0011] In one embodiment, the thermally printed wristband further includes a UV primer layer disposed on the side of the thermal layer facing away from the substrate layer.

[0012] In one embodiment, the thermally printed wristband further includes a UV varnish layer disposed on the side of the UV base coat layer facing away from the thermal layer.

[0013] In one embodiment, the thermally printed wristband further includes an indicator portion disposed on the side of the substrate layer facing away from the thermal layer.

[0014] In one embodiment, the indicator portion is disposed near the end of the substrate layer.

[0015] In one embodiment, the thermally printed wristband further includes a printing layer disposed on the side of the substrate layer opposite to the thermal layer.

[0016] In the technical solution of this utility model, the base material layer extends to both sides in the width direction, thereby forming an edge-wrapping structure. This edge-wrapping structure completely covers the edge of the heat-sensitive layer in the width direction, providing good protection and effectively improving the durability and reliability of the wristband. At the same time, in the length direction, the ends of the base material layer and the heat-sensitive layer are aligned, ensuring the regularity and stability of the overall structure.

[0027] This utility model proposes a thermal printing wristband 100.

[0028] Please see Figure 1 In one embodiment of the present invention, the thermally printed wristband 100 includes a thermal layer 1 and a substrate layer 2, which are stacked together. The substrate layer 2 extends on both sides in the width direction to form an edge-wrapping structure, covering the width edge of the thermal layer 1, and the substrate layer 2 is aligned with the end of the thermal layer 1 in the length direction.

[0029] The thermal layer 1 can be made of common thermal paper materials. These materials can quickly develop color when heated to clearly print the required information, meeting the requirements of temporary identity recognition for immediate information changes.

[0030] The edging structure formed by the extension of the base layer 2 to both sides can be reasonably designed according to actual needs. In this embodiment, the width of the edging structure is preferably a size that can completely cover the edge of the heat-sensitive layer 1 without affecting the normal wearing and function of the wristband. This edging design effectively avoids wear and tear on the edge of the wristband due to contact and friction with external objects during daily use. Specifically, both the base layer 2 and the heat-sensitive layer 1 are rectangular structures. The base layer 2 has a length of 267mm and a width of 30mm; the heat-sensitive layer 1 has a length of 267mm and a width of 27mm. That is, the base layer 2 and the heat-sensitive layer 1 are consistent in length, both being 267mm. This ensures that the wristband can cover an appropriate length when worn, neither too short to cause instability nor too long to cause inconvenience. At the same time, the consistency of length also facilitates standardized cutting and assembly during the production process, improving production efficiency and product quality stability. The base layer 2 is 30mm wide, while the thermal layer 1 is slightly narrower at 27mm. The base layer 2 extends on both sides in the width direction to form an edge-wrapping structure, completely covering the width edge of the thermal layer 1. This design not only effectively protects the edge of the thermal layer 1 from wear, but also enhances the overall structural strength of the wristband, allowing it to maintain a good appearance and function even under frequent use and friction.

[0031] In the technical solution of this utility model, the base layer 2 extends on both sides in the width direction, thereby forming an edge-wrapping structure. This edge-wrapping structure completely covers the edge of the heat-sensitive layer 1 in the width direction, providing good protection and effectively improving the durability and reliability of the wristband. At the same time, in the length direction, the ends of the base layer 2 and the heat-sensitive layer 1 are aligned, ensuring the regularity and stability of the overall structure.

[0032] Specifically, in one embodiment of this utility model, the substrate layer 2 is made of HDPE (high-density polyethylene). HDPE material has sufficient flexibility, allowing the wristband to bend comfortably and conform to human skin, while also possessing high tensile strength, capable of withstanding certain tension and pressure without easily breaking. HDPE has good corrosion resistance to most chemicals, ensuring that the wristband is not easily corroded or damaged when in contact with common cleaning agents, disinfectants, and other chemicals, guaranteeing its normal use in various environments such as medical and logistics. As the basic support structure of the thermal printing wristband 100, the choice of material for the substrate layer 2 plays a crucial role in the overall performance of the wristband. The substrate layer 2, made of HDPE material, provides solid support for the thermal layer 1 without negatively impacting the printing effect of the thermal layer 1. The HDPE substrate layer 2 is easy to process and mold during production, and can be mass-produced through common plastic processing techniques such as extrusion and injection molding, which helps reduce production costs.

[0033] To increase breathability, please refer to one embodiment of this utility model. Figure 1 and Figure 3 The base layer 2 has multiple first vents; the heat-sensitive layer 1 has multiple second vents, each second vent corresponding to a first vent. The first vents can be circular, elliptical, or other suitable geometric shapes, with their diameter or major axis length preferably between 1mm and 3mm to balance breathability and structural strength. The shape and size of the second vents match the first vents to ensure precise alignment when layered. This corresponding arrangement allows air to pass smoothly through the wristband, thus improving breathability. By providing corresponding vents on the base layer 2 and the heat-sensitive layer 1, the breathability of the wristband is significantly improved. This allows the skin on the wrist to breathe better during prolonged use, reducing sweat buildup and lowering the risk of skin discomfort or allergic reactions due to moisture. Good breathability not only helps keep the skin dry but also reduces the pressure of the wristband on the skin, making it more comfortable to wear. This is especially important for patients who need to wear wristbands for extended periods in medical settings and for workers who frequently move around in logistics, exhibitions, and other similar settings.

[0034] Specifically, in one embodiment of this invention, the distance between two adjacent first ventilation holes is 8mm. This 8mm distance allows for smooth airflow between the wristband and the skin, effectively improving the wristband's breathability. This distance ensures a sufficient number of ventilation holes while avoiding a decrease in structural strength due to excessively small spacing.

[0035] Furthermore, in one embodiment of this utility model, please refer to... Figure 3 The thermal printing wristband 100 also includes a UV primer layer 3, which is located on the side of the thermal layer 1 facing away from the substrate layer 2. The UV primer layer 3 is located on the outer surface of the thermal layer 1, which is the side facing away from the substrate layer 2. This location allows the UV primer layer 3 to directly protect the printing surface of the thermal layer 1, preventing the printed information from being damaged by friction or chemical corrosion during use. Furthermore, the UV primer layer 3 significantly improves the adhesion between the thermal layer 1 and the subsequent protective layer, ensuring a tight bond between the layers and preventing delamination or peeling.

[0036] Specifically, in one embodiment of this utility model, please refer to... Figure 3The thermal printing wristband 100 also includes a UV varnish layer 4, which is located on the side of the UV base coat layer 3 facing away from the thermal layer 1. The UV varnish layer 4 is a high-hardness, high-transparency protective layer, primarily used to further enhance the wristband's surface abrasion resistance, scratch resistance, and chemical corrosion resistance. Simultaneously, the UV varnish layer 4 provides good gloss, improving the wristband's appearance. The UV varnish layer 4 provides additional protection for the printed information, preventing it from becoming blurred due to wear, scratches, or chemical corrosion, ensuring long-term readability. In medical settings, where the wristband needs prolonged contact with disinfectants and frequent wiping, the UV base coat layer 3 and UV varnish layer 4 effectively resist chemical corrosion and physical abrasion, ensuring clear readability of the printed information. In logistics and exhibition settings, where the wristband needs frequent bending and contact with various surfaces, the high abrasion and scratch resistance of the UV varnish layer 4 extends the wristband's lifespan, ensuring long-term usability of the information. Both the UV base coat layer 3 and the UV varnish layer 4 also have ventilation holes.

[0037] Furthermore, in one embodiment of this utility model, please refer to... Figure 2 The thermally printed wristband 100 also includes an indicator section 5, which is located on the side of the substrate layer 2 facing away from the thermal layer 1. The indicator section 5 is primarily used to provide additional information or functional markings, such as wearing instructions, usage guidelines, and warning messages. This information helps users wear the wristband correctly and understand how to use it or any precautions. The indicator section 5 can include various forms such as text, patterns, symbols, or color markings. For example, it can be printed with text such as "Please wear correctly" or "This side up," or different colors can be used to distinguish different types of wristbands (such as adult and children's wristbands).

[0038] Specifically, in one embodiment of this invention, the indicator 5 is disposed near the end of the base layer 2. The ends of the base layer 2 refer to the two ends of the wristband in the length direction. By placing the indicator 5 near the ends, it is possible to prevent the indicator 5 from being obstructed or bent during wear, ensuring that the information is clearly visible.

[0039] Furthermore, in one embodiment of this utility model, the thermally printed wristband 100 also includes a printing layer, which is disposed on the side of the substrate layer 2 facing away from the thermally sensitive layer 1. The printing layer can clearly display key information such as the purpose and instructions for use of the wristband. This not only helps users quickly understand the function of the wristband, but also guides them to use the wristband correctly, reducing problems caused by misoperation. For example, in medical scenarios, the printed information on the wristband can guide patients and medical staff to wear and use the wristband correctly, ensuring the accuracy and efficiency of identification.
