The pressure providing means 3 may be constituted by a piston, a hydraulic pressure pump, a high-pressure tank, or the like so as to enable the surface of the syringe 10 to be puffed up by providing a pneumatic pressure. The pressure providing means 3 may be connected to the control unit 7 to allow the user to control the pressure of the fluid supplied to the signage 10. Alternatively, the pressure providing means 3 may be configured to continuously supply a specific pressure and to regulate the pressure of the fluid supplied to the signage 10 by the flow rate regulating means 5.

The flow rate regulating means 5 is connected between the pressure providing means 3 and the signage 10 to control the flow rate and the hydraulic pressure supplied to the signage 10. Various valves can be used, A solenoid valve connected to the control unit 7 and easily controllable can be used. Or a safety valve or a pressure reducing valve for restricting the pressure so that the fluid is supplied to an appropriate pressure or lower for the duration of the syringe 10 can be used. The flow regulating means 5 may not be included in the signaling system 1 when the pressure of the fluid can be freely adjusted by the pressure providing means 3. [

The control unit 7 is connected to at least one of the pressure providing unit 3 and the flow control unit 5 to freely adjust the pressure of the fluid to be injected into the syringe 10.

3 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing the principle of signage according to an embodiment of the present invention, in relation to the structure and principle of the signage 10. 3, the signage according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention includes a body 10, a body 100, a hollow portion 110, a support portion 120, a through hole 130 such as an injection hole 130 and a discharge hole 140, Holes.

The main body 100 may be formed of a plate-like member made of a flexible material so that the main body 100 can be inflated when a fluid is injected therein. As the material of the main body 100, various materials such as rubber, flexible natural and synthetic resin materials, vinyl, paper, fabric and the like can be used. Silicone rubber which can be easily formed can be used . Inside the main body 100, a hollow portion 110 may be formed in which a fluid is injected, and a variety of graphic elements that the user desires to express may be displayed on the upper surface of the main body 100. A supporting part 120 may be provided below the hollow part 110 of the main body 100 so as not to extend more than the material of the main body 100. In one embodiment of the present invention, hard paper is used as the support 120, silicone rubber is used as the material of the main body, and a plurality of pin holes are formed in the hard paper so that the hard paper is not separated from the silicone rubber .

When the fluid is injected into the syringe 10, the syringe 10 is swollen in the same manner as the shape of the hollow portion 110, So that the hollow portion 110 can be formed into a specific shape that the user desires to express as the signage 10. At least one through hole is formed in the hollow portion so that the fluid can be injected and discharged from the outside.

The support 120 may be made of a material that does not extend more than the material of the main body 100 and may be formed on the inside or the lower side of the main body 100. The support 120 supports the opposite surface of the swelling surface of the signage 10 and can be configured to be fixed to the surface of the attachment object to which the signage 10 is to be attached. When the surface of the object to which the signage 10 is to be attached is planar, the support 120 may be formed in a planar shape, and when the surface of the object to which the signage 10 is to be attached is curved, ) May be formed in a curved surface shape having the same curvature as the object to be attached. The entire frame of the signage 10 can be represented by the support portion 120 and the effect of preventing the expansion of the surface other than the swelling surface of the signage 10 is generated.

The supporting portion 120 may be formed on the opposite side of the swelling surface of the hollow portion 110. However, it is preferable that the hollow portion 110 and the support portion 120 are separated by a specific distance. When the hollow part 110 and the support part 120 are connected to each other, the fluid flows into the space between the hollow part 110 and the support part 120 by the pressure of the fluid injected into the hollow part 110, The signage 10 can be inflated in a form different from the shape of the signage 10, so that there is a problem that a certain type of definition to be expressed by the user 10 is reduced.

The through hole may mean at least one hole formed at one side of the main body 100 to connect the hollow portion 110 and the outside of the main body 100. [ In the case where one through hole is formed, it is preferable that the pressure providing means 3 is configured to be able to control both the application and release of the pressure. In the case where one through hole is formed, the pressure providing means 3 and the hollow portion 110 can constitute one closed hydraulic circuit.

In the case where two through holes are formed, one through hole serves as an inlet 130 for injecting a fluid, and the other through hole serves as an outlet 140 for discharging a fluid . The injection port 130 may be connected to the pressure providing means 3 to constitute a path for injecting fluid into the hollow portion 110 to induce a specific pressure to be applied to the hollow portion 110. The discharge port 140 may form a path through which the fluid injected into the hollow portion 110 is discharged to the outside of the main body 100. The injection port 130 and the discharge port 140 may be provided with flow rate control means 5 to control the time interval and the degree of the hydraulic pressure applied to the hollow portion 110.

The durability is increased despite the repetitive expansion and contraction of the signage 10 due to the effect of eliminating the joining portion to the signage 10, and an effect of providing a fresh feeling of unhearing can be obtained.

Also, according to the signage 10 according to the embodiment of the present invention, it is also possible to control the step of forming the contents more finely to generate an effect such as animation or 3D stereoscopic image. For example, you can give an animation effect that seems to spread from the center point of the content to the edge gradually, and vice versa, like a ripple that occurs when a stone is thrown to a lake. In addition, you can also start with a certain point in the signage and give it a rippling effect to the other side.

In addition, the signage 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention may further include at least one proximity sensor for sensing a human approach. It is possible to determine whether or not the content is shaped by sensing a person using the proximity sensor. According to the signage applying the proximity sensor, the effect is as if a content having a sense of reality is generated on a flat surface having nothing, thereby allowing a viewer to enjoy realistic and interesting contents.

In addition, the signage 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention may further include a pressure sensor. When the pressure sensor is provided on the surface of the syringe 10 or a sensor for sensing the pressure of the hollow portion 110 is provided, when the user presses the expanded portion of the surface of the syringe 10, May be configured to contract. According to the signage using the pressure sensor, it is possible to provide the user with the same sensation as interacting with living artifacts.

In addition, the signage 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention may further include a sensor for sensing a bio-signal such as a pulse of a person. When the signage 10 further includes a bio-signal sensor, a fluid pulse similar to a user's biosignal can be provided to the hollow part 110, so that the specific shape can be configured to expand with a beat similar to a user's bio- have. According to the signage using the biosignal sensor, the user can provide a customized sensation.

In the case where the oil-jelly layer is formed on the surface of the mold, the silicone rubber injected into the mold and hardened is prevented from sticking to the mold.

When a specific texture is to be implemented on the surface of the signage to be produced, a step of installing the silicone rubber mold on the bottom surface of the aluminum mold after the mold making step (S10) .

The primary silicone rubber injection and curing step S20 is a step of injecting and curing the primary silicone rubber forming the surface layer of the signage 10 in the mold. The thickness of the primary silicone rubber should be the same as the thickness of the surface layer of the signage 10 set by the user and injected in a thickness of 2 mm in one embodiment of the present invention. When the thickness of the surface layer of the syringe 10 is set to be less than 2 mm in the silicone rubber material, there is a possibility that the surface layer of the syringe 10 may be damaged by the fluid pressure of the hollow portion 110. When the thickness of the surface layer of the syringe 10 is set to be greater than 3 mm in the silicone rubber material, the surface of the syringe 10 may be sagged toward the hollow portion 110 due to the weight of the surface layer. Also, when the volume of the hollow portion 110 is small, the thickness of the surface layer may not be sufficiently increased as the thickness of the surface layer increases.

The wax frame fixing step S30 is a step of fixing the wax mold for forming the hollow portion 110 on the cured primary silicone rubber. The wax frame may be shaped into a shape of a particular shape that the user would like to express through the signage 10. Also, the wax frame may be connected to at least one fixing bolt, and the fixing bolt may be fixed to a supporting part located at one side of the mold to fix the wax frame so that the wax frame does not move. After the silicone rubber is cured by the fixing bolts, the through holes of the syringe 10 are formed, so that there is no need to form the through holes separately.

According to the method of manufacturing a signage according to an embodiment of the present invention, when the wax frame is used, the hollow part 110 can be formed at a considerably low cost, and the method can be considerably simplified. Further, since the through holes can be formed by the fixing bolts, the effect of simplifying the manufacturing steps of the signage is further generated.

The second silicone rubber injection and curing step (S40) is a step of injecting and curing the silicone rubber again on the first silicone rubber and wax mold. The secondary silicone rubber constitutes between the hollow portion 110 and the support portion 120.

The supporting portion inserting step (S50) is a step of placing the supporting portion 120 on the cured secondary silicone rubber. The supporting part 120 may be made of a material such as hard paper or the like and may be made of a material that does not increase more than the material of the main body 100. The support portion 120 may be formed with a plurality of pin holes to prevent separation from the silicone rubber.

The third silicone rubber injection and curing step S60 is a step of injecting and curing the silicone rubber again on the support 120 and the secondary silicone rubber.

The heating step (S70) is a step of removing the mold after the completion of the curing of the silicone rubber, arranging the through-holes so as to face downward, and then heating to about 80 deg. The wax frame mold located inside the silicone rubber is melted and discharged to the outside of the silicone rubber through the through hole by the heating step S70. As a result, the hollow portion 110 is formed by the heating step S70.

When the heating step S70 is completed, the signage 10 according to the embodiment of the present invention is completed and the pressure providing means 3 and the flow rate adjusting means 5 are connected to the through holes formed by the fixing bolts A signage system can be completed. The durability of the signage 10 manufactured according to the method of manufacturing a signage according to an embodiment of the present invention is remarkably improved since there is no joint portion. In addition, since the shape to be expressed in the signage 10 manufactured according to the method of manufacturing a signage according to an embodiment of the present invention can be easily manufactured in the form of a wax frame, the signage configuration of a complicated shape can be easily made. In addition, according to the method of manufacturing a signage according to an embodiment of the present invention, the surface texture representation of the signage can be performed without any difficulty because only one step needs to be added. Further, according to the method of manufacturing a signage according to an embodiment of the present invention, since the signage is integrally formed using the mold, the effect of facilitating the factory automation of the signage can be obtained.

According to a modified embodiment of the present invention, the wax frame fixing step S30 may be replaced with a release agent application step. The step of applying the release agent is a step of applying the release agent onto the cured primary silicone rubber in the shape of the specific shape that the user wants to express through the signage 10. According to a modified example of the present invention, when a mold release agent is used, a hollow portion can be formed without a wax frame-type fixing step, and a thinner signage can be produced. Further, according to the modified embodiment of the present invention, since the heating step (S70) is unnecessary, the process of manufacturing the signage is shortened. Further, since the hollow portion is not exposed, the third party can not recognize the existence of the hollow portion beforehand even if the signage is attached to the curved surface, so that the effect of maximizing the aesthetics generated by the swelling signage is generated. When a releasing agent is applied, holes of a specific shape can be formed on a plate material such as paper, and a releasing agent can be applied by a stencil method. Alternatively, the releasing agent can be applied in such a manner that the releasing agent is freely drawn with a brush. When a silicone rubber is used, a release agent exclusive for vaseline or silicone rubber can be used.

For the sake of convenience, the silicone rubber is exemplified as an elastomer to be injected into a mold, but the scope of the present invention includes other elastomers.
