Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of stickers, particularly to three-dimensional water-in stickers.

Background Art

[0002] A sticker is a decoration or functional label made of paper, plastic, fabric, or other materials, with an adhesive substance applied to the back surface for attaching to the surfaces of various objects. Commercially available three-dimensional stickers have higher aesthetic and three-dimensional properties. However, many of the three-dimensional stickers on the market are for ornamental purposes and lack certain interactivity and fun.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0003] In order to improve the interactivity of the sticker, this application provides a three-dimensional water-in sticker.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0004] The following technical solutions are adopted for the three-dimensional water-in sticker according to this application.

[0005] The three-dimensional water-in sticker includes a transparent layer, a liquid layer, a base layer, and an adhesive layer arranged in sequence. The transparent layer is made of a transparent material, and a storage chamber for accommodating the liquid layer is formed on the surface of the transparent layer facing the base layer. The outer edge of the storage chamber of the transparent layer is fixedly connected to the base layer, the base layer is fixedly connected to the adhesive layer, and an adhesive is provided on the surface of the adhesive layer facing away from the base layer.

[0006] By adopting the above technical proposal, a containment chamber is created between the transparent layer and the base layer, and a liquid layer is injected. This allows for a liquid flow effect to be generated with movement after the sticker is applied, thereby enhancing the visual dynamism of the sticker and the user's interactive experience, overcoming the shortcomings of conventional 3D stickers, which only offer static aesthetic appeal and lack interest and interactivity.

[0007] Selectively, the liquid layer uses a transparent liquid, and a pattern is formed on the surface of the underlying layer that is close to the transparent layer.

[0008] By adopting the above technical proposal, a pattern is created on the base layer, and the optical refraction and transmission properties of the transparent liquid layer are utilized to make the pattern exhibit a dynamic and soft visual effect when the liquid flows, thereby enhancing the three-dimensionality and aesthetics of the sticker while maintaining overall visual transparency and tonal gradation.

[0009] A pattern is selectively formed on the surface of the transparent layer that is close to the underlying layer.

[0010] By adopting the above technical proposal, an additional pattern can be added to the surface of the transparent layer that comes into contact with the liquid layer, creating an overlapping or corresponding effect with the pattern on the underlying layer. This results in richer, more multi-layered dynamic image changes during liquid flow, further enhancing the visual appeal and interest of the sticker.

[0011] Selectively, multiple decorative components are placed inside the containment chamber.

[0012] By adopting the above technical proposal, decorative elements (such as glitter, micro-patterns, and colored particles) are placed in the liquid layer. When the sticker is moved or touched, the decorative elements float and rotate along with the flow of the liquid, creating a more lively and varied dynamic effect, significantly enhancing the interactivity and entertainment value of the sticker.

[0013] Selectively, the transparent layer is manufactured from PVC material.

[0014] By adopting the above technical proposal and selecting PVC as the transparent layer material, it is possible to obtain a product that has good transparency, flexibility and moldability, is easy to process to form a containment chamber, and possesses a certain level of strength and durability, making it suitable for daily use and touch operation.

[0015] Selectively, the substrate is manufactured from PVC material.

[0016] By adopting the above technical proposal, selecting PVC as the base layer material provides excellent printability, making it easy to create fine patterns on its surface. Furthermore, it has good compatibility with transparent layer materials, making it easy to achieve secure fixation by methods such as heat bonding.

[0017] Selectively, the adhesive layer is manufactured from PET or PVC material.

[0018] By adopting the above technical proposal and selecting PET as the substrate for the adhesive layer, it is possible to improve the durability and reliability of the adhesive by ensuring that the sticker has excellent dimensional stability, temperature resistance, and adhesive retention capabilities, and that it is less likely to deform or peel off during use.

[0019] Selectively, the transparent layer and the substrate layer are fixed by high-frequency hot-pressure welding.

[0020] By adopting the above technical proposal, a sealed connection between the transparent layer and the base layer is achieved using a high-frequency hot-pressure welding method, ensuring the airtightness of the containment chamber and preventing liquid leakage. Furthermore, the welded area is flat and aesthetically pleasing, without affecting the overall appearance and user experience of the sticker.

[0021] Selectively, the substrate layer and the adhesive layer are fixed together by high-frequency hot-pressure welding.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, the base layer and the pasted layer are firmly bonded by high-frequency thermocompression welding, the bonding strength between layers is increased, delamination or detachment during use is avoided, and the structural stability and durability of the sticker are improved.

Embodiments for Carrying Out the Invention

[0024] Hereinafter, the present application will be described in more detail with reference to FIGS. 1 to 2.

[0025] This embodiment discloses a water-in three-dimensional sticker. Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, the water-in three-dimensional sticker includes a transparent layer 1, a liquid layer 2, a base layer 3, and a pasted layer 4 arranged in sequence. The transparent layer 1, the base layer 3, and the pasted layer 4 are sequentially and tightly bonded. Due to such a structure where the layers overlap, the sticker becomes integrated, and after the sticker is pasted, it can generate a liquid flow effect along with shaking, thereby enhancing the visual jumping feeling of the sticker and the user's interactive experience. This is because the liquid layer 2 is enclosed between the transparent layer 1 and the base layer 3, and when the sticker shakes, the liquid layer 2 flows accordingly.

[0026] Referring to FIG. 2, the transparent layer 1 is made of a transparent material. In this embodiment, it is a PVC material. The PVC material has good transparency, flexibility, and molding performance, and also has a certain strength and durability, and is suitable for daily use and touch operations. In other embodiments, the transparent layer 1 can adopt other transparent materials such as glass materials.

[0027] Referring to Figure 2, the transparent layer 1 is formed by vacuum thermoforming, creating a containment chamber 11 for accommodating the liquid layer 2 on the surface of the transparent layer 1 facing the underlying layer 3. The shape of the containment chamber 11 can be various, such as circular or rectangular, as long as it satisfies the need to accommodate the liquid layer 2. A pattern is printed on the surface of the transparent layer 1 closest to the underlying layer 3, and in other embodiments, the transparent layer 1 does not need to have a pattern printed on it.

[0028] Referring to Figure 2, the liquid layer 2 uses a transparent liquid such as water or an alcohol solution. The liquid layer 2 is contained within the containment chamber 11 of the transparent layer 1, and when the sticker is shaken, the liquid layer 2 flows within the containment chamber 11.

[0029] Referring to Figure 2, several decorative components (not shown) are placed inside the containment chamber 11. The decorative components may be glitter, micro-patterns, colored particles, etc. When the sticker is moved or touched, the decorative components float and rotate on the flow of the liquid, creating a more lively and varied dynamic effect, significantly enhancing the interactivity and entertainment value of the sticker. In other embodiments, it is not necessary to place decorative components inside the containment chamber 11.

[0030] Referring to Figure 2, the base layer 3 is manufactured from PVC material. PVC material has good printability, making it easy to create fine patterns on its surface. A pattern is formed on the surface of the base layer 3 closest to the transparent layer 1, and the types of patterns are abundant, such as characters and landscapes. These patterns utilize the optical refraction and transmission properties of the transparent liquid layer 2, exhibiting a dynamic and soft visual effect when the liquid flows, enhancing the three-dimensionality and aesthetics of the sticker, while maintaining overall visual transparency and gradation. The pattern on the surface of the transparent layer 1 closest to the base layer 3 can form an overlay or correspondence effect with the pattern on the base layer 3, making the pattern forms more diverse. For example, the transparent layer 1 may have some simple line patterns, while the base layer 3 has a complex character pattern, and both cooperate with each other, resulting in a richer, multi-layered dynamic image change when the liquid flows. In other embodiments, the base layer 3 may not have a pattern printed on it either.

[0031] Referring to Figure 2, the outer edge of the containment chamber 11 of the transparent layer 1 and the base layer 3 are fixed by high-frequency hot-pressure welding. High-frequency hot-pressure welding ensures the airtightness of the containment chamber 11, preventing liquid leakage, and the welded area is flat and aesthetically pleasing, not affecting the overall appearance and user experience of the sticker. In other embodiments, the transparent layer 1 and the base layer 3 could be attached with adhesive, but adhesive attachment may have problems such as the impact on aesthetics due to excess adhesive and a sealing effect that is not as good as that of high-frequency hot-pressure welding.

[0032] Referring to Figure 2, the adhesive layer 4 is manufactured from PET or PVC material. PET material has relatively good dimensional stability, temperature resistance, and adhesive retention capabilities, ensuring that the sticker is less prone to deformation and peeling during use, thereby improving adhesion durability and reliability. Adhesive is provided on the surface of the adhesive layer 4 facing away from the base layer 3, and such adhesive allows the sticker to be attached to the surface of various objects.

[0033] Referring to Figure 2, the base layer 3 and the adhesive layer 4 are similarly fixed and connected by high-frequency hot-pressure welding. This welding method improves the interlayer bonding strength between the base layer 3 and the adhesive layer 4, preventing delamination or detachment during use and improving the structural stability and durability of the sticker. In other embodiments, the layers can be connected by methods such as sewing, but for thin materials like stickers, sewing can impair their surface flatness and affect their appearance.

[0034] The manufacturing process for the water-in 3D sticker of this embodiment is as follows: First, a pattern is printed on a transparent PVC film (printing is not required if there is no pattern), then the transparent PVC film is vacuum-molded to form a transparent layer 1 with a containment chamber 11, a transparent liquid is injected into the containment chamber 11 to form a liquid layer 2, decorative parts are placed in the containment chamber 11 (optional), then a pattern (printing is not required if there is no pattern) is printed on the PVC film to form a base layer 3, then the transparent layer 1 and the base layer 3 are fixed together by high-frequency heat pressure welding to enclose and seal the liquid layer 2, then a PET film is vacuum-molded to form an adhesive layer 4, adhesive is applied to the adhesive layer 4, and finally the base layer 3 and the adhesive layer 4 are fixed together by high-frequency heat pressure welding.

[0035] A complete water-in 3D sticker is formed by combining a transparent layer 1, a liquid layer 2, a base layer 3, and an adhesive layer 4. The transparent layer 1 provides a window for observing the flow and pattern of the liquid layer 2, the presence of the liquid layer 2 creates a dynamic effect, the pattern on the base layer 3 enhances the aesthetics and tonal gradation, and the adhesive layer 4 makes it easy to apply and use the sticker. When using the entire sticker, the user can shake the sticker to make the liquid layer 2 flow and observe the dynamic changes in the pattern caused by the refraction of the liquid, greatly increasing interactivity and fun, overcoming the drawback of conventional 3D stickers that only offer static viewing.

[0036] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application and do not limit the scope of protection of the present application. Therefore, equivalent changes based on the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should all be included within the scope of protection of the present application.
