One or more technical solutions provided in the present application have at least the following technical effects or advantages:
1. the method for preparing the complete pyramid is that the pyramid top is deepened along with the planing depth from a large flat top to a small flat top until the flat top disappears to a point to become a sharp top, and the required cutting depth is deeper. The planing times of the cutter of the preparation method of the reflective material die with the flat-top pyramid array are reduced to 1/2-9/10 of the original times, so that the preparation time of the original die is shortened, the preparation production efficiency of the original die is effectively improved, the wear rate of the cutter is reduced, and the service life of the cutter is prolonged.
2. When the manufactured reflective material working mould with the flat-top microprism array is used for planting cones, the reflective material mould is closely attached to the optical film to form a reflective layer structure, the depth of a concave cavity of a bright plate (intaglio) mould of the flat-top microprism array is shallower than that of a bright plate (intaglio) mould of the sharp-top microprism array, so that the filling of polymer resin of the optical film is more complete, the separation of the film and the mould is easier, the production efficiency is improved, and the integrity of the microprism units is further maintained.
3. Divergent retroreflection is the light that the same incident light can receive in a wide viewing angle range after being reflected by a reflector, indicating that the light is divergent retroreflected. Referring to fig. 11, light is radiated from a lamp, but after being reflected, the resulting visible view angle range is larger than the range of the vehicle. In principle, there are many incident light rays and many reflected light rays, but according to the wave-particle dichotomy of light and the roughness and physicochemical properties of the reflector, diffuse reflection and the like are generated on the light rays, and the light rays are lost. In the practical application process, the eye position of the driver receiving the light is different from the position of the car lamp emitting the light, namely the observation angle is different from the incident angle, so that a certain diffusion range is required after the light is reflected. The application improves the pyramid sharp angle with the triangular side surface into the flat-top pyramid with the trapezoidal side surface, so that the flat-angle pyramid with the trapezoidal side surface can form divergent retroreflection on incident light entering from a large angle obliquely in the pyramid, so that the large-angle retroreflection coefficient of the prism reflective film is greatly improved, and the problem that the retroreflection coefficient of the prism reflective film is severely reduced in a visible large-angle range is solved.
4. Solves the problem of directional sensitivity of the consistent cathode-anode stripe alternate balancing microprism reflecting film, and maintains the original appearance of the microprism reflecting film in a planar posture without light and shade alternate.
5. The diffusion effect of the flat-top microprism reflective film meets the requirement that a large-angle observation angle keeps reflective brightness with high retroreflection coefficient, is favorable for improving the visibility of reflective signs of road sections with large visual blind areas such as high-speed entrance ramp, interchange curve guide road and the like, and improves the safe driving coefficient.
6. In order to obtain more reflected light rays, the size of the pyramid needs to be increased, but after the size of the pyramid is increased, larger cone-planting force is needed when the pyramid is planted and stamped, the cone-planting force is increased, the pyramid is deformed, and the light rays run out of the field of view after deformation, so that brightness is lost. The flat-top structure can reduce the deformation of the pyramid, so that the pyramid of the die and the pyramid of the reflective original film keep higher consistency, namely the light retroreflection of the reflective film is as close as possible to the original die for the original purpose.

Detailed Description
In order to better understand the above technical solution, the following detailed description will be given with reference to the specification and the specific embodiments.
A preparation method of a flat-top positive angle microprism reflecting material mold comprises the following steps:
step (1): calculating planing distance, designing a flat-top microprism unit, and calculating data of the flat-top microprism unit based on the sharp-top microprism unit, wherein the data are as follows
Referring to fig. 1, the angles of the triangles on the bottom surface of the regular pyramid are designed to be 60 °, namely = a = B = C = 60 °, the triangles on the bottom surface of the regular pyramid are equilateral triangles, the side length is L, and the height is D; the triangle on the side surface of the regular angle pyramid is an isosceles right triangle, and the edge length of the triangle is L.sin 45 degrees; the height of the steeple regular angular pyramid is h. The side length of the triangle at the top of the flat-top regular-angle pyramid is l; the height of the flat-top regular-angle pyramid is H. The cutter is a V-shaped cutter, and the inclination angles of the two sides of the V-shaped cutter are theta.
From the conditions provided above, we can obtain the following formula:
L=D/sin60° ①
h=L/2·tan45·sin(90-θ)°=L/2·tan45·cosθ ②
the same principle can be obtained:
h-H=l/2·tan45·cosθ,
and then can be derived:
l=2(h-H)/(tan45°·cosθ)=(L·tan45°·cosθ-2H)/(tan45°·cosθ)=L-2H/(tan45°·cosθ) ③
substituting formula (1) into formula (3) to obtain:
l=D/sin60-2H/(tan45°·cosθ) ④
to sum up, the triangular area S of the flat top surface of the positive-angle pyramid can be obtained d Is that
S d =1/2L·D-1/2(l+L)·H·tanθ·3=D 2 /2sin60°-(D/sin60°-H/tan45°·cosθ)·H·tanθ·3 ⑤
On the basis of the conclusion, selecting a V-shaped cutter with angles of inclination theta at two sides, wherein theta is 35.25 degrees, and D is 250um, and obtaining the V-shaped cutter:
L=2·D·cot60°=288.67um
h=L/2·tan45°·cosθ=118.35um
in actual production, in the cone-planting process of an optical film, due to the thermal and mechanical factors, a cone structure of a metal mold is transferred to a cone of an organic optical material reflective original film to generate extremely small deformation, and the original film cone is flat and small relative to the mold cone, so that a numerical value obtained by a calculation result is corrected in simulation and simulation, and the numerical value is applied to modeling, namely L=290 um. When H < H, a flat-topped positive pyramid is produced, so taking h=110um, then l=l-2H/(tan 45 °. Cos θ) =21.7 um, taking l=22um.
Step (2): constructing a pyramid structure simulation by geometrical optical calculation software, setting a light incident angle beta=4° for analysis, and truncating a dihedral angle deviation pyramid (according to the numerical correction result in the step (1), the included angle of three side surfaces of the pyramid is not completely equal to 90 °) array with a plane top of a peak pyramid part with the bottom side length l of 22um, as shown in fig. 2; the light ray emitting direction is not identical to the incident direction, as shown in fig. 3; except that the observation angle range becomes large, and at the same time, a part of light rays generate a diffusion effect of 180 degrees in a larger range, as shown in fig. 4.
The simulation shows that under the ideal condition of the optical film and the reflective layer polyester resin material (namely, the physicochemical parameters of the film layer such as light transmittance and refractive index are optimal, the surface is smooth without diffuse reflection and other factors to cause light loss), the microprism reflective film with flat-topped dihedral angle deviation pyramid array has the advantages that light spots gather in the wide angle range of 1 degree observation angle and visible light spots are outside the observation angle range of more than 1 degree observation angle, as shown in fig. 4.
Step (3): simulation and comparison analysis are carried out on the cone implantation process through finite element analysis software: the cone planting process, hot pressing and cone planting or UV resin photocuring cone planting are completed under the condition of higher process temperature, and as the pyramid surface pyramid structure of the gravure pyramid mould is horn-shaped, the pyramid is wide in upper part and narrow in lower part, and the pyramid with the same size is more stressed at the tip angle than the flat top angle in the process of filling high polymer resin, and the pyramid is easier to deform. Through simulation, the calculation result of the stress distribution is shown in fig. 5, and it can be seen from the graph that the flat top can reduce the stress of the pyramid (the deeper the color is, the larger the numerical value is), the stress at the top of the sharp-top pyramid is much greater than that of the flat-top pyramid, the larger stress can lead to large deformation of the pyramid, dihedral angle deviation (the included angle between the pyramid sides deviates from 90 degrees) is generated, the light propagation direction is changed, and the brightness of the film is reduced. Therefore, the flat-top microprisms are further described to help reduce the small deformation of the pyramid direction and stabilize the original brightness of the reflective film.
Furthermore, the depth of the concave cavity of the flat-top pyramid is shallower than that of the concave cavity of the sharp-top pyramid, and the flat-top pyramid is easy to form a complete structure by separating and analyzing from a hot-press filling film (optical film with pyramid array) die (metal die with pyramid array), while the sharp-top pyramid is difficult to form a complete structure when filling, and the sharp-top part is easy to be damaged when the film die is separated, so that the complete triangular pyramid is deformed or damaged and generally does not reflect light.
The above results are consistent with "the light spot is concentrated in the wide angle range of 1 ° observation angle, and the visible light spot is outside the observation angle range of more than 1 °, and the planing is started.
Step (4): taking an original mold substrate, and adopting car leveling polishing to reduce the roughness of the original mold substrate so that the roughness of the surface of the substrate is below 20 nm;
step (5): referring to fig. 6, a processed mold substrate is taken, and planing is performed on the surface of the processed mold substrate along a first direction, so that a planed mold substrate is obtained, wherein the planed mold substrate is provided with a plurality of Va-shaped grooves, the depth of each Va-shaped groove is 110um, and the distance between every two adjacent Va-shaped grooves is 250um;
step (6): referring to fig. 7, planing is performed on the surface of the mold substrate along a second direction, wherein an included angle between the second direction and the first direction is 60 degrees, the planed mold substrate is provided with a plurality of Vb-shaped grooves, the depth of each Vb-shaped groove is 110um, and the distance between every two adjacent Vb-shaped grooves is 250um;
step (7): referring to fig. 8, planing is performed on the surface of the mold substrate along a third direction, wherein an included angle between the third direction and the second direction is 60 degrees, an included angle between the third direction and the first direction is 120 degrees, a plurality of Vc-shaped grooves are formed on the planed mold substrate, the depth of each Vc-shaped groove is 110um, and the distance between every two adjacent Vc-shaped grooves is 250um;
and (3) in the planing process of the step (4), the step (5), the step (6) and the step (7), the substrate is washed by using planing liquid continuously, burrs are removed after the planing is finished, and ultrasonic cleaning is carried out to obtain the flat-top regular-angle pyramid reflecting material die.

The microprisms obtained in comparative examples 1, 2 and examples of the present application were observed under an electron microscope, wherein the electron microscope images of comparative examples 1, 2 are shown in fig. 9 (the electron microscope images of comparative examples 1, 2 observed with naked eyes are not different, and thus only the image of comparative example 1 is placed), and the electron microscope images of examples of the present application are shown in fig. 10. Through the observation of an upper electron microscope image, the flat-top positive angle microprism reflecting material in the embodiment of the application finds that, due to the existence of the flat top, when incident light rays particularly irradiate into the pyramid from the front side within a small angle range, the positions of the plane where the flat top is irradiated are less because of total reflection, and most of the light rays penetrate through the past and are not reflected back to the detector, so that obvious non-reflecting points appear in the middle, but the proportion of the non-reflecting positions of the flat top in the whole pyramid (the pyramid size L=290 um) is smaller.
