Description

Composite micro-prism reflective film integrating multiple triangular pyramids and manufacturing method of mold thereof TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to a composite micro-prism reflective film integrating multiple triangular pyramids and a manufacturing method of mold thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] The micro-prism reflective film based on triangular pyramid unit structure: a tool is used to process three cornered pyramid surfaces of a triangular pyramid, and the inclination angles (the included angle with the vertical plane) of the three cornered pyramid reflecting surfaces are the same, as shown in FIG. 1. Such a micro-prism reflective film design is mainly used for type III and type IV reflective films with low performance requirements. When used for type V reflective film, under the conditions of large observation angle and large incident angle, the retroreflective coefficient cannot meet the standard requirements. In order to obtain the performance requirements of type V reflective film, different design or manufacturing solutions have been proposed at home and abroad. The American 3M company proposes to use a full-prism structure of the reflective film optical design. However, the design structure is complex, the manufacturing precision of the mold is high, and the manufacturing error has a great influence on the performance of the reflective film, which limits the popularization and application in China.

[0003] Specifically, the optical design variable of the micro-prism reflective film in the above FIG. 1 is only one, it is difficult to simultaneously improve the retroreflective performance of different incident angles and observation angles (especially wide angle), and the balance between the retroreflective performance of different incident angles and observation angles (especially wide angle and small incident angle), and the balance between the retroreflective performance of different azimuth angles (such as 0 degree, 90 degree and 180 degree).

[0004] In the prior art, in order to obtain the uniformity of the retroreflective performance of the reflective film in different azimuth angles, the nickel mold of type IV reflective film is usually mechanically spliced to manufacture the roller master mold by using two different orientation reflective film nickel molds of 0 degree and 90 degree; by slightly adjusting one angle to deviate from the standard cornered pyramid reflector structure, the retroreflective performance of the reflective film is regulated (such as improving the wide angle performance), but the above method is very complicated, and there is a mechanical joint error, which is difficult to achieve the expected effect.

[0005] Although the micro-prism reflective film with full-prism (American 3M) is 50% higher than the micro-prism reflective film with triangular pyramid in retroreflective performance (or the effective reflection area of the triangular pyramid reflective film is 66.67% of that of the full-prism reflective film), the mold structure of the full-prism reflective film (such as Chinese patents No. 2015107772604 and 201811202555.9) is very complex, and the manufacturing difficulty is very high. Moreover, due to the manufacturing error of the mold, the reflective performance is much lower than expected, which limits its popularization and application.

[0006] In view of the above shortcomings, the applicant applied for "Refractive Microprism Array Structure and Manufacturing Method Thereof" (publication number CN 117930406 A) in March 2024 and "Microprism Reflective Film with Double-triangular Pyramid Combination Structure and Manufacturing Method of Mould Thereof" (publication number CN 118759624 B) in September 2024.

[0007] Among them, "Refractive Microprism Array Structure and Manufacturing Method Thereof" is easier to manufacture than patents 2015107772604 and 201811202555.9, avoids secondary clamping and the difficulty of special-shaped surface processing, and ensures the quality of finished products. However, when processing the through holes on the second substrate in the processing procedure, it is necessary to drill holes one by one and then process them by wire cutting. The processing procedure is still relatively complicated, and each pyramid formed by processing is a regular triangular pyramid, the inclination angles of the pyramid faces are the same, the optical design variable of the microprism reflective film obtained is only one, and it is difficult to obtain different incidence angles and observation angles. That is, the microprism reflective film designed in this way can meet the performance requirements of Class IV reflective film, but when used for Class V reflective film, the retroreflective coefficient cannot meet the standard requirements under the conditions of large observation angle and large incidence angle.

[0008] Among them, "Microprism Reflective Film with Double-triangular Pyramid Combination Structure and Manufacturing Method of Mould Thereof" proposes to use two cutters with design angles of α and β to process two triangular pyramid combination structure microprism reflective films on the same mould substrate. After processing the large triangular pyramid using the first cutter with a cutter angle of α, the second cutter with a cutter angle of β is used for processing. The cutter orientation is adjusted according to the design requirements so that the inclination angles of the three pyramid faces of the central triangular pyramid are β / 2. At this time, the inclination angles of the two pyramid faces of the corner triangular pyramid are α / 2, and the inclination angle of the third pyramid face in the middle is β / 2. Although the angle variable of the triangular pyramid located in the center is adjusted to optimize the wide-angle performance of the reflective film to a certain extent, or to obtain a certain degree of optimization of the 0-degree and 90-degree performance of the reflective film, the microprism reflective film obtained still has the disadvantage of insufficient optical design optimization degree of freedom. Technical problem

[0091]

[0092] Technical advantage description: The comparative example is a conventional triangular pyramid micro-prism reflective film, and its retroreflective performance is mainly distributed in a small observation angle of 0.2 degrees. It cannot meet the requirements of the five categories (category V) under the test conditions of an incident angle of 30 degrees, observation angles of 0.5 degrees and 1 degree, and observation angles of 1 degree, incident angles of -4 degrees and 15 degrees. The micro-prism reflective film prepared in the application is composed of three different triangular pyramids, and the retroreflective performance under the test conditions of large observation angles and large incident angles is optimized and improved, so that the retroreflective performance under all test conditions meets the requirements of the V category standard.

[0093] In order to improve the processing efficiency, the first tool (step 1) and the fourth tool (step 4) in the processing steps of the fifth embodiment above can be performed together (the base material in both steps is at a 0-degree position, that is, the 1B shaft does not need to be rotated, and only the Y-axis of the base material needs to be moved), and the second tool (step 2) and the fifth tool (step 5) can be performed together (the base material in both steps is at a 120-degree position, that is, the 1B shaft does not need to be rotated, and only the Y-axis of the base material needs to be moved).

[0094] The present application has three triangular pyramids with an angle of α / 2, a mixed triangular pyramid 1B with an angle of α / 2, α / 2 and βL, and three mixed triangular pyramids 1C with an angle of α / 2, α / 2 and βR; it achieves the design freedom of three triangular pyramids, and the bottom area ratios of the three triangular pyramids 1A, the triangular pyramid 1B and the triangular pyramid 1C are 50%, 25% and 25% respectively, which can further reasonably optimize the performance under different application conditions, so as to obtain the wide-angle performance improvement, and the optimization and balance of the overall comprehensive performance which cannot be achieved by the traditional triangular pyramid unit structure and the double-triangular pyramid combined structure.

[0095] As a special case, when βL=βR=β / 2, it becomes a conventional symmetric structure of the angle surface. Another special case is that the angle surface is a symmetric structure but its orientation has an angle Δ,

[0096] 1. The angle β of the asymmetric angle surface is composed of the sum of the left side angle βL and the right side angle βR, that is, β=βL+βR.

[0097] 2. The angle βL and βR of the angle surface with an angle Δ are equivalent to a specific asymmetric angle: βL=β / 2+△, βR=β / 2-△.

[0098] 3. When Δ=0, βL=βR=β / 2. The left and right sides of the angle surface are symmetric structures.

[0099] The fifth embodiment of the reflective film mold forming process, the second cutter with a cutter angle of β is a symmetrical structure cutter, by adjusting the specific cutter deflection angle Δ value, so that βL=β / 2+Δ, βR=β / 2-Δ; The selection of the cutter deflection angle Δ during forming is equivalent to using a specific asymmetric cutter βL=β / 2+△, βR=β / 2-△; When the cutter deflection angle Δ changes, the angle between the two adjacent conical surfaces formed by the second cutter remains unchanged; For a given cutter angle β, once the deflection angle Δ is selected, βL is determined, and βR is also determined, βL and βR are not two completely independent conical angle design variables, but both depend on the cutter angle β and its deflection angle Δ.

[0113]

[0114] Technical advantage explanation: The comparative example is a conventional triangular pyramid micro-prism reflective film. Its retroreflective performance is mainly distributed at a small observation angle of 0.2 degrees. It cannot meet the requirements of the five categories (category V) under the test conditions of an incident angle of 30 degrees, an observation angle of 0.5 degrees and 1 degree, and an observation angle of 1 degree, an incident angle of -4 degrees and 15 degrees. The micro-prism reflective film prepared by the present application is composed of three different triangular pyramids. The retroreflective performance under the test conditions of large observation angles and large incident angles is optimized and improved, so that the retroreflective performance under all test conditions meets the requirements of the V category standard.
