Technical Field

The invention relates to the field of plastic uptake processing, in particular to a plastic uptake processing method and a product thereof.

Background

The backlight module is one of the key components of a Liquid Crystal Display (Liquid Crystal Display Panel), and because Liquid Crystal does not emit light, the backlight module has the function of supplying sufficient light sources with uniform brightness and distribution, so that the backlight module can normally Display images.

The reflective plate is an important component of the backlight mold. In the traditional technology, the reflecting plate is produced by using a plastic suction processing method, and when the thickness of the reflecting plate is within the range of 0.1mm-0.35mm, the reflecting plate after heat setting is easy to shrink, so that the reflecting plate is easy to bulge and wrinkle.

Therefore, a new plastic uptake processing method is needed, which can prepare products with the thickness of 0.1mm-0.35mm, and the products have smooth surfaces and good mechanical properties.

Detailed Description

In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more apparent, the present invention is described in further detail below by way of embodiments with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not intended to limit the invention.

In the present invention, md (machine direction) refers to the machine direction, i.e., the feed direction; td (transverse direction) refers to the transverse direction, i.e., perpendicular to the direction of feed.

In the present invention, the reflective film is a film-like resin material and can be stored in a rolled state. The reflecting plate is a finished product formed by plastic suction, has certain structural/mechanical rigidity, and can be kept for a long time without deformation at normal temperature.

The invention provides a plastic uptake processing method, which comprises the following steps:

s1, providing a resin material;

s2, preheating the resin material; and

and S3, carrying out plastic suction molding on the preheated resin material.

In the plastic suction molding process, a heating system is adopted to heat the plastic suction mold so as to heat the resin material; the first temperature of the plastic suction molding process is 20-30 ℃ lower than the softening point of the resin material.

In one embodiment, the resin material has a tensile strength of 50MPa or more at 90 ℃ to 130 ℃ and an elongation at break of 40% or more. It is preferable that the reflective film has a heat shrinkage rate in a Machine Direction (MD) of 0.5% or less and a heat shrinkage rate in a Transverse Direction (TD) of 0.2% or less at a temperature of 90 to 105 c, in consideration of the deformation rate of the film within a controllable range. The temperature condition means that the mechanical property of the material can meet the requirement at any test temperature in a corresponding temperature range.

In one embodiment, the resin material includes a reflective film having an ABA type three-layer structure, the a layer is a support layer, and the B layer is a reflective layer.

Wherein, the material of the A layer comprises a first polyester resin, a first inorganic particle and a toughening resin. The first polyester resin includes at least one of Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) and polybutylene Terephthalate. The first inorganic particles include at least one of calcium carbonate, silica, titanium dioxide, barium sulfate. The toughening resin imparts toughness to the reflective film, and may have good tensile strength and elongation at break. The toughening resin is one of Maleic Anhydride (MAH) grafted polyethylene, Maleic Anhydride (MAH) grafted Styrene-Ethylene-butylene-Styrene block copolymer (SEBS), Glycidyl Methacrylate (GMA) grafted polyolefin Elastomer (POE). The MAH-grafted polyethylene may be MAH-grafted High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) or MAH-grafted linear Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE). In order to ensure the toughening effect, the mass fraction of the toughening resin is not less than 0.1%; however, when the addition amount is too high, the toughening agent effect is saturated, the improvement of the toughening effect by further increasing the addition amount is not obvious, the reflectivity of the reflective film is reduced by the excessively high toughening agent, and the mass fraction of the toughening resin is not more than 2%. The first polyester resin accounts for 97-98.9% of the layer A by mass; the first inorganic particles account for 1% by mass; the mass fraction of the toughening resin is 0.1-2%. Preferably, the mass fraction of the first polyester resin in the support layer is 97.5% -98.5%; the mass fraction of the first inorganic particles is 1%; the mass fraction of the toughening resin is 0.5-1.5%.

The material of the B layer includes a second polyester resin, second inorganic particles, and an incompatible resin. The second polyester resin comprises at least one of polyethylene terephthalate and polybutylene terephthalate. The incompatible resin means a resin incompatible with the second polyester resin, including polyolefin-based resins. Since the incompatible resin is incompatible with the second polyester resin, voids can be created around the incompatible resin during stretching, thereby forming cells in the reflective layer. At this time, the incompatible resin may be considered to be located substantially at the center of the cells. In order to facilitate the formation of the cells, the incompatible resin is preferably at least one of polypropylene, polymethylpentene, and cyclic olefin copolymer having a small critical surface tension. The particle size of the incompatible resin is not limited, but is preferably 0.2 μm to 0.3. mu.m. The presence of the cells can increase the reflectivity of the reflective film. The pore size of the cells is not limited, and is preferably 0.3 μm to 5 μm. The second inorganic particles include at least one of titanium dioxide, barium sulfate, calcium carbonate, and alumina. Preferably, the second inorganic particles are titanium dioxide, because titanium dioxide has good physical and chemical stability, a high refractive index, good shielding properties, and can provide a higher reflectance.

In one embodiment, the reflective film may be an intumescent reflective film. The thickness of the reflecting film is 0.1mm-0.55mm, preferably 0.1mm-0.35 mm.

In the present invention, when the second temperature in the preheating process is too low, the resin material is insufficiently preheated, the formability of the product is poor, and the second temperature is too high, which may decompose the resin material and cause energy waste. In one embodiment, the second temperature is 90 ℃ to 130 ℃, preferably 110 ℃ to 130 ℃.

In one embodiment, the heating system of the plastic suction molding process comprises at least one heating assembly, and the temperature of each heating assembly is independently controlled by a PLC (programmable logic controller) electric control system. In one embodiment, the heating unit of the heating system is a ceramic infrared heating tile, and the heating unit is matched with a PLC (programmable logic controller) electric control system, so that the temperature of each ceramic infrared heating tile can be accurately and respectively adjusted, and the heating temperature of each part of the mold can be adjusted according to requirements, so that the reflecting plate with a smooth surface can be obtained.

In the invention, in the plastic suction forming process, the first temperature is too low, the molecular chain of the polymer is not easy to move, the product is not easy to form, and the product forming property is poor; if the first temperature is too high, the polymer macromolecules are not easy to generate orientation in the forming process, even if the orientation is generated, the formed orientation structure is loosened due to the thermal motion of molecules, the orientation is removed, the performance of the polymer cannot be maintained, and the mechanical property of the product is poor. In one embodiment, the first temperature is from 50 ℃ to 130 ℃, preferably from 70 ℃ to 90 ℃.

In one embodiment, the negative pressure value in the plastic suction molding process is 5kg-12 kg. In order to obtain a product with flat surface and good formability, the negative pressure value in the plastic suction forming process is preferably 7kg-10 kg.

In the invention, the plastic suction molding time is too short, which is not beneficial to product molding; if the forming time is too long, energy waste will be caused, and the production cost will also be increased. In one embodiment, the duration of the blister forming process is 10s-35s, preferably 12s-25 s.

In one embodiment, the blister forming process further comprises a cooling step. In the present invention, the cooling step may be selected from natural cooling, air cooling, water cooling, etc., preferably air cooling.

In one embodiment, the cooling rate is 20 ℃/min to 40 ℃/min. The cooling rate is preferably 30-40 deg.C/min to obtain a smooth-surfaced article.

The invention also provides a product prepared by the plastic uptake processing method, and the product is a reflecting plate. The reflector plate provided by the invention has good mechanical properties.

In one embodiment, the reflector plate is in the shape of a shallow dish having trapezoidal sidewalls and a rectangular bottom. The depth of the tray is 5mm-35mm, and the length of the upper edge of the corresponding tray is 250mm-1700 mm; the width is 150mm-1100 mm; the bottom area of the tray accounts for more than 50% of the sum of the bottom area and the side wall area. The thickness of the reflecting plate is 0.1mm-0.55mm, preferably 0.15mm-0.35 mm.
