[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a flexible smart card, comprising a smart card, the smart card being composed of a chip, a protective film, and a soft silicone sheet, wherein the soft silicone sheet has a groove inside, the protective film is embedded inside the groove, the chip is embedded inside the protective film, a printed layer is provided on the outer side of the soft silicone sheet, and a through hole is provided in the middle of one side of the smart card.

[0007] Preferably, the protective film is a thermoplastic polyurethane sheet.

[0008] Preferably, a protective mesh is provided on the inner side of the soft silicone sheet, and the protective mesh is embedded inside the soft silicone sheet.

[0009] Preferably, the protective net is a carbon fiber net.

[0010] Preferably, a composite protective layer is provided on the outer side of the printed layer.

[0011] Preferably, a soft reinforcing strip is provided around the outer perimeter of the soft silicone sheet, and the soft reinforcing strip is integrally formed with the soft silicone sheet.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0013] 1. The soft silicone sheet provides basic flexibility and impact resistance for the entire smart card, while the protective film provides more direct protection for the chip, preventing the chip from being physically damaged by the outside world.

[0014] 2. The protective film is made of thermoplastic polyurethane film. This material has a number of excellent properties. It has excellent flexibility and can bend with the smart card without breaking, thus ensuring continuous protection of the chip. At the same time, it also has good wear resistance, which can reduce the damage to the chip caused by friction in daily use. In addition, thermoplastic polyurethane film also has a certain degree of water resistance, which can prevent moisture from penetrating into the chip and extend the chip's service life.

[0015] 3. When the smart card is subjected to external forces such as squeezing or bending, the protective mesh embedded inside the soft silicone sheet can use its high strength to diffuse the stress generated by the external force to the surrounding area, avoiding stress concentration in a certain area and causing cracks in the soft silicone sheet. At the same time, it provides indirect structural support for the internal chip, reducing the squeezing damage to the chip caused by excessive deformation of the soft silicone sheet.

[0016] 4. The soft reinforcing strip and soft silicone sheet are integrated into one piece. This design provides continuous and uniform reinforcement to the edges of the smart card. When the smart card is subjected to external force, the soft reinforcing strip can better transmit and disperse the force, avoiding stress concentration at a certain point, thereby protecting the overall structure of the smart card, especially the internal chip from damage.

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model 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 utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 In this embodiment of the utility model, a flexible smart card includes a smart card 1. The smart card 1 is composed of a chip 10, a protective film 4 and a soft silicone sheet 5. The soft silicone sheet 5 has a groove 8 inside, the protective film 4 is embedded in the groove 8, the chip 10 is embedded in the protective film 4, a printed layer 6 is provided on the outside of the soft silicone sheet 5, and a through hole 2 is provided in the middle of one side of the smart card 1.

[0025] The protective film 4 is made of thermoplastic polyurethane sheet. This material has many excellent properties. It has excellent flexibility and can bend with the smart card 1 when it is bent without breaking, thus ensuring continuous protection of the chip 10. At the same time, it also has good wear resistance, which can reduce the damage to the chip 10 caused by friction in daily use. In addition, the thermoplastic polyurethane sheet also has a certain degree of water resistance, which can prevent moisture from penetrating into the chip 10 and extend the service life of the chip 10.

[0026] A protective mesh 9 is provided on the inner side of the soft silicone sheet 5. The protective mesh 9 is embedded inside the soft silicone sheet 5. When the smart card 1 is subjected to external forces such as squeezing or bending, the protective mesh 9 embedded inside the soft silicone sheet 5 can use its own high strength characteristics to diffuse the stress generated by the external force to the surrounding area, so as to avoid stress concentration in a certain area and cause cracks in the soft silicone sheet 5. At the same time, it provides indirect structural support for the internal chip 10, reducing the squeezing damage to the chip 10 caused by excessive deformation of the soft silicone sheet 5.

[0027] The protective net 9 is made of carbon fiber. Carbon fiber is characterized by high strength and low density. The high strength allows the protective net 9 to effectively resist external impacts and tension, protecting the internal structure of the smart card 1 from damage. The low density ensures that the overall weight of the smart card 1 will not increase significantly due to the presence of the protective net 9, keeping the smart card 1 lightweight and easy to use.

[0028] A composite protective layer 7 is provided on the outside of the printed layer 6. The composite protective layer 7 on the outside of the printed layer 6 provides additional protection for the smart card 1. It can prevent the printed layer 6 from being worn or scratched, and ensure that the printed information is clearly visible. At the same time, the composite protective layer 7 may also have functions such as waterproof, dustproof and UV protection, further improving the durability and stability of the smart card 1.

[0029] A soft reinforcing strip 3 is provided around the outer perimeter of the soft silicone sheet 5. The soft reinforcing strip 3 and the soft silicone sheet 5 are integrally formed. This design provides continuous and uniform reinforcement to the edge of the smart card 1. When the smart card 1 is subjected to external force, the soft reinforcing strip 3 can better transmit and disperse the force, avoiding stress concentration at a certain point, thereby protecting the overall structure of the smart card 1, especially the internal chip 10, from damage.

[0030] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: The smart card 1 adopts a composite structure design, mainly composed of a chip 10, a protective film 4, and a soft silicone sheet 5. The soft silicone sheet 5 has a specially designed groove 8 inside, into which the protective film 4 can be tightly embedded. The chip 10 is further embedded inside the protective film 4. This design allows the chip 10 to be protected by multiple layers of materials. The soft silicone sheet 5 provides basic flexibility and impact resistance for the entire smart card 1, while the protective film 4 provides more direct protection for the chip 10, preventing it from being physically damaged by external factors. The printing layer 6 on the outer side of the soft silicone sheet 5 can be used to print relevant information, such as card number and logo. The through hole 2 in the middle of one side of the smart card 1 can be used for hanging or connecting with other devices, increasing the flexibility of the smart card 1.

[0031] Finally, it should be noted that the above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
