Described method can comprise use UV laser beam 2a, to produce chemical result in the structure of Optical Bleaching Agent 5, makes the trans forms of Optical Bleaching Agent be converted into the cis form of Optical Bleaching Agent.The trans forms of Optical Bleaching Agent can be reacted under the impact of UV laser beam, makes the trans forms of Optical Bleaching Agent be converted into the cis form of Optical Bleaching Agent.The trans forms of Optical Bleaching Agent such as, by launching longer visible wavelength again, the light in blue light range, can absorb the light of short wavelength.Different from trans forms, the cis form of Optical Bleaching Agent, not such as, by launching longer visible wavelength again, the light in blue light range, absorbs the light of short wavelength.
Optical Bleaching Agent 5 can be called as, such as
-Optical Bleaching Agent, OBA,
-optics causes white dose, OWA,
-optical bleaching agent, OBA,
-fluorescence causes white dose, FWA,
Optical Bleaching Agent 5 is compounds of the similar pigment of the light of the ultraviolet range of Absorbable rod electromagnetic spectrum, and this scope is that human eye is sightless.Optical Bleaching Agent 5 can carry out launching again of light with longer wavelength scope (normally blue light range).In other words, Optical Bleaching Agent makes material look yellow less for human eye, and the whiteness that this change is interpreted as human eye increases.In addition, when the product containing Optical Bleaching Agent is exposed to UV radiation, Optical Bleaching Agent makes product " have light " under w light.Optical Bleaching Agent 5, for paper product etc., makes the paper produced have better optical property, and such as make the paper produced have bleaching effect, due to this reason, the paper of nearly all manufacture all contains Optical Bleaching Agent.Except paper product, also can use Optical Bleaching Agent to obtain the impression of " brilliant white " in textiles and detergent.
The Optical Bleaching Agent of some types is, such as two, four and six sulfonation stilbene compounds.The quantity of sulfonation group can impact for the chemical property of Optical Bleaching Agent.Some other commercially available Optical Bleaching Agents can be the chemical property based on cumarin and pyrazoline.The Optical Bleaching Agent of described type is some examples, and the mark of UV laser instrument can be suitable for the product containing other type optical brightening agent.
In one embodiment, product to be marked can comprise one or more using the chemicals of Types Below as Optical Bleaching Agent: stilbene, cumarin and pyrazoline.In these chemicals, anionic stilbene compounds may have superiority most.
UV radiation, i.e. ultra-violet radiation are the electromagnetic radiation that wavelength is shorter than the wavelength of visible ray.Ultra-violet radiation can be classified as UVA radiation, UVB radiation and UVC radiation.The wavelength of UVA radiation can be limited in the scope between 310 and 380nm (or 400nm), the wavelength of UVB radiation can be limited in the scope between 280 and 315nm, and the wavelength of UVC radiation can be limited in the scope between 100 and 280nm.In these radiation, UVA radiation has minimum energy and UVC radiation has the highest energy.Because the object of process is not produce heat significantly, low-yield UV radiation can be used in a preferred embodiment.Heat may produce harmful effect for product, such as, make paper darker and/or turn yellow.In one example in which, pending product is paper or cardboard, wherein has benefited from the mark of UV laser instrument, can avoid the change not conforming with hope caused by heat, such as, as dimmed or flavescence.
The processing time that preferred use is short, such as short effective time of laser beam on product to be marked, the negative effect possible arbitrarily processed for product quality is minimized.
In a preferred example, wave-length coverage can be used for 100nm-400nm, more preferably the UV laser instrument of 250nm-380nm.In one example in which, wave-length coverage can be used for 350nm-360nm, the UV laser instrument of such as about 355nm.In one example in which, product to be marked can contain stilbene radicals Optical Bleaching Agent, and can mark by using the UV laser instrument that wave-length coverage is 350nm-360nm.
Described method can be suitable for marking various product.Product to be marked can be by, and such as paper, cardboard, cardboard, plastics, plastic optical fibre duplexer or textiles are made.Preferably, product to be marked can be paper or cardboard, because most of paper of prior art are containing Optical Bleaching Agent.In this case, do not need to add Optical Bleaching Agent separately, but the common paper of UV laser process prior art can be used.Therefore because cellulose fibre not with the UV light generation significant reaction of the short pulse produced by UV laser instrument, can Optical Bleaching Agent be changed and substantially not change hard copy body.In other words, the process of UV light can be carried out by this way, and can not, such as make paper visually dimmed or flavescence.When paper is containing Optical Bleaching Agent, the method may be used in the paper that Optical Bleaching Agent has been applied on the surface of paper and Optical Bleaching Agent had added in the paper in paper pulp before width is formed.
When product to be marked is not in advance containing Optical Bleaching Agent, the forward direction product that can be labeled at product adds Optical Bleaching Agent.Similarly, the content of Optical Bleaching Agent may increase before the product of mark containing Optical Bleaching Agent.
Figure 13 a-13b shows the system being used for marked product 1.Figure 14-16 shows some by the product 3 with UV laser process mark.Figure 17 display has the example of the laser aid 2 being suitable for the UV laser instrument forming mark.Figure 18 shows the structure of suitable Optical Bleaching Agent 5.
Figure 13 a-13b shows with the schematic diagram simplified some embodiments marked product.Can mark in many different phases of processing.Such as, in the case of paper, can combine in the dry section of paper machine, in coiling machine (re-reeler) again, before coating, after application, with calendering, roll up with rip cutting machine (slitter-winder) combine, and package combination etc. mark.Correspondingly, when such as textiles, can be combined with the manufacture of textiles, or until provide mark on the textiles completed.
Laser aid 2 can comprise lens, such as 2-4 lens, and one or more mirror, such as 2-4 mirror, for by product 1 to be marked for laser beam direction.
In the method, the chemical constitution of Optical Bleaching Agent can be changed by this way, make the active trans forms of Optical Bleaching Agent be converted into the cis form of non-activity.In other words, by using UV laser instrument, the chemical constitution that can change Optical Bleaching Agent makes Optical Bleaching Agent be non-activity cis form from active trans forms reaction.Preferably, the mark of formation can be that human eye is sightless under indoor illumination, and it is can become visible by using the such mode of UV light.Particularly, when making identification marking on the point with little surface area, under the indoor illumination not having independent UV light, identification marking is differentiated for bore hole is almost impossible, and this product looks and do not mark on the surface.Figure 18 shows possible Optical Bleaching Agent, and can be made the mark of UV laser instrument by it, it is called stilbene-Ji Optical Bleaching Agent.In the drawings, there is the reaction from active trans forms to non-activity cis form here in the dotted line limit position of Optical Bleaching Agent 5.
The chemical constitution of Optical Bleaching Agent can be changed to form the mark marking by using the laser producing UV light.Can control well and focus on by the mark of UV laser fabrication because the conduction of such as heat usually not cause in mark fuzzy arbitrarily.In UV laser instrument mark, making mark and be not only point-device, is also quickly.Preferably, mark can be manufactured continuously, such as, as online solution.
In a preferred example, laser is so-called Nd:YAG laser (=frequency tripling NdYVo 4), its wavelength can be 355nm.
Figure 14 shows, and under w light, by the mark of UV laser fabrication, and it is sightless usually under normal indoor illumination.The codes such as mark UPM, date and bar shaped are high-visible in photo.With 150S device is taken pictures after carrying out aging 24 hours to product, and it is equivalent under sunlight about 192 hours noon in Central Europe.
Figure 15 a display is manufactured and the various bar codes of taking a picture under w light by UV laser instrument.Figure 15 b, shows successively by UV laser fabrication and the corresponding bar code of taking a picture in the sunlight.
Figure 16 shows when taking a picture at reverse side under w light, each the paper of Figure 15 a.As seen in Figure 16, when taking a picture at the reverse side marked, bar code may be that non-norm is stuck with paste.In other words, can only at side mark sheet product, as paper or cardboard, namely make by this way to mark under w light is only visible on the side of product.Or mark can be different on the not homonymy of paper product, or mark can be identical on the both sides of paper product.
It may be very difficult removal after so-called negative marker.By protecting mark to make the removal marked become even more difficult with one or more layers protective layer, such as coat in the following manner, under namely described mark stays protective layer, i.e. " in product ".For this reason, can apply with protective layer the product 3 marked by UV laser instrument after having made mark.If the product 3 of mark is paper, cardboard or cardboard, coated product can be carried out with the paper coating pigment of such as prior art.
Except the above-mentioned fact, because the device for making identification marking is special device, the such as UV laser instrument of the light of wavelength needed for emission mark product, the fraud of mark may become more difficult.Therefore, only the collection of hardware may be comparatively difficult, may need special skill, and may be expensive.And then, the advantage of described method may be need not cause the extra cost of the manufacturer of product with UV laser instrument marked product and need not slow down production, because mark even can combine with normal manufacture of product, and even do not need under many circumstances to change the normal speed used in product line.In addition, mark (such as, marking) is provided usually not need to add special or expensive material to product.Such as, when product to be marked is paper, cardboard or textiles containing Optical Bleaching Agent, the material cost of material cost and corresponding conventional products does not have significant difference.When product holding structure does not change, can not produce any problem by identical Product processing equipment converted paper, this equipment is for processing the corresponding product do not comprised by the mark of UV laser fabrication.
In one example in which, the method may be used for the paper manufacturing mark, and it can be such as safety paper.Described paper can print by any conventional technique, because this paper does not have usual by marking generation and making to print more difficult machinery or chemical property.Such as, the protrusion usually provided in the safety paper of prior art or lower point, seriously may hinder offset printing process, because the point of the integral thickness deviation of this type of and paper may stick in rubber rollers.If be added in the specialty chemical thing preventing copying conventional in such as safety paper, similar risk may be related to.
When product to be marked is paper, cardboard or cardboard, in such as paper machine or cardboard machine production line, in the upstream of the downstream of dry section and coating step, UV laser device 2 can be installed.By this way, at the run duration of paper machine/paperboard trigger, laser beam can be used to make the mark in paper/cardboard.Device 2 can be installed in, such as, extend through in the horizontal on the beam of paper or cardboard width, beam is comprised can move forward and backward the support (carriage) through paper or cardboard width.Support also can be included in the second guider that the longitudinal direction of paper or cardboard width extends, and this guider can be installed the device producing UV laser beam 2a, and its mode of installing makes it possible to move predetermined distance with the traffic direction of paper or cardboard width.Described predetermined distance can be, such as 0.5-2m.UV laser instrument also can be installed on support, described support is moveable paper or cardboard width in a lateral direction, thus make UV laser relative be that horizontal axle rotates in the traffic direction of paper web, the crosspoint of laser beam and paper or cardboard width on the traffic direction of paper or cardboard width wherein can be regulated by rotary beam.Can be realized by known method for device that is mobile and/or that rotate laser beam, as by electricity, waterpower and/or pneumatic actuation.Laser beam can be produced by using the UV laser instrument of prior art.When making mark in paper or cardboard width, can at horizontal relative to the traffic direction of paper or cardboard width and/or the vertical laser beam that moves up.During carrying out the process marked, laser beam can be, such as, move with certain speed, the speed of base paper or substrate cardboard on the direction that this speed corresponds to base paper or the movement of substrate cardboard.
In the corresponding way, UV laser device 2 also can be installed be combined with the actual product production line of each product 1 or after production line, mark other products 1.
Text or image can be formed by the mark of UV laser fabrication.Described image can be, such as, trade mark or can machine read coding, as bar code.It should be noted, product also can contain other, mark in addition, and it can make imitated more difficult.
