Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a tubular structure enclosing a viscous phosphorescent liquid, and is widely applied to various tubular structures such as silicone tubes, glass tubes, acrylic tubes, plastic tubes, etc. It is possible to visually recognize for a long time even when light is blocked due to a disaster or the like. The viscous phosphorescent liquid used in the present invention is a combination of a phosphorescent liquid having a predetermined viscosity by adding an ultraviolet curable resin or the like and a tubular structure.

Summary of the Invention
Problems to be Solved by the Invention
[0005] The present invention aims to improve the performance and durability of products that are suitable for environmental conditions, reduce the complexity of the manufacturing process due to the risk of liquid spillage, improve manufacturing efficiency, and prevent attenuation of the amount and rate of light energy stored and the amount of light emitted. [Means for solving the problem]
[0006] The tubular structures of the present invention are composed of a wide range of materials, including silicon, glass, acrylic, and plastic, and are expected to be produced in various environments. Taking silicon as an example, it can withstand temperatures from -40°C to +200°C and is unlikely to cause allergies even when in contact with the skin, making it suitable for use in various environments and products. Furthermore, by adding UV-curable resin to prevent leakage and encapsulating various colored, viscous phosphorescent liquids adjusted to a gel-like consistency, the manufacturing process is expected to be shortened. [Effects of the Invention]
[0007] This invention provides a tubular structure that can be used stably even in harsh environments and emits light for a long period of time. This is expected to lead to a wide range of applications, not only in disaster prevention but also in fashion and other fields. In a transparent tubular structure, the characteristics of the cylinder are utilized to suppress the attenuation of the amount and speed of light energy stored from the surrounding area and the amount of light emitted, thereby overcoming the limitations of conventional technology. Furthermore, by giving the phosphorescent liquid a predetermined viscosity, the risk of liquid leakage is reduced, and the manufacturing process is simplified and manufacturing efficiency is improved.

[0009] For example, when using tubular structures as disaster prevention goods, visibility is ensured even in harsh environments such as high temperature and humidity by accumulating light during the day and emitting light at night. By irradiating with UV light, the luminescence and luminescence duration of the phosphorescent material can be further enhanced. [Examples]
