Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a printing method, and more particularly to an In Mold Decoration (IMD) printing method. [Prior Art] Generally, the δ, 杈 interior decoration printing method is applied to the decoration processing of a plastic case. For example, a patterned plastic housing for a mobile phone is a product made using an in-mold decorative printing method. Referring to Fig. 1 to Fig. 1C', Fig. 1A to Fig. 1C are schematic cross-sectional views showing a conventional method of loading a brush in a mold. The in-mold decorative printing method of the prior art comprises the following steps: As shown in FIG. 1A, a patterned film η is disposed in a mold, and the inside of the crucible is like 20a, wherein the patterned film 11 has an ink pattern. As shown in FIG. 1B, the pouring port 124 from one of the molds 120 is filled so that the plastic 13 is filled with the cavity C. After curing, the mold (4) and the patterned _ιι〇 are removed (as shown in the figure; A decorative printing method in which a patterned film soil 'Fig. 112 is transferred to a cured plastic 13 〇 on top. However, the pattern _ U 〇 is attached to a part of the surface of the mold inner wall ma having a large /, = On the 120a day, the film U0 can not be flatly attached to the inner wall of the mold 12. Two = the middle of the crucible is easy to be wounded by the plastic 130, and the ink pattern 112 of the patterned bond film cannot be flattened. 5 200819272 0950254 22021twf.doc/e Transfer to the cured plastic 130, resulting in poor yield (appearance) of the product produced by the in-mold decorative printing method. In order to solve the problem that the patterned film is easy to be infused during the plastic injection process, another Conventional technology will first pattern the mold After the film is baked and heated, the plastic is injected into the cavity, wherein the patterned film after the heat softening can be smoothly applied to the inner wall of the mold, so that the patterned film is not easy to wrinkle during the plastic injection process. The conventional technology also proposes to reduce the plastic injection.

The value of the above mentioned two methods can fully improve the problem of the patterned film in the process of plastic injection, but the time for plastic injection into the cavity is greatly increased. That is, the production efficiency of the product is not good. Therefore, such as the clothing: printing method has better process efficiency and product production yield is an important issue. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The purpose of the private kitchen is to provide an in-mold decorative printing method, which has the production yield of the product of the parent. The purpose of the method is to provide an in-mold decorative printing method which has better process efficiency. The brush is used for other purposes, and the present invention proposes an in-mold decorative stamp and ', S the following steps. Firstly, the film is provided with a pattern of a gas == pattern, the mold has a mold cavity, and more, wherein the air inlet hole and the pouring port and the cavity phase 6 200819272 0950254 22021twf.d〇c/e flow ί=: ' = The air flow is induced, so that the plastic is ventilated.吏 木 木 木 木 木 木 平 平 平 平 平 平 平 平 平 平 平 平 平 平 平 平 平 平 平 平 平 平 平 平 平 平 平 平:, make: material. First, stop the film from the air inlet. Full of round holes. After that, the mold and the pattern pre-removal are removed after the mold and the patterned film are removed, and the mold is transferred to the cured plastic in the wrong mold and the film. In the π, self-decoration printing method, when the plastic is pressed onto the patterned film, the air flow of the case 2 is squeezed. Since the patterned film can be flatly attached to the mold and the wall produced by the in-mold decorative printing method of the present invention, the preferred embodiment of the gas is attached to the mold cavity when the plastic is outdated. , that is, i two times to make the _ film point have better process efficiency. The in-mold decoration printing method of each month is easy to understand for his purpose, '(10) 'Asian cooperation with the drawing' for details 200819272 0950254 22021twf.doc/e is as follows. [Embodiment] Fig. 2 shows an in-mold mounting and a reference in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention. The in-mold decorative printing of the present embodiment includes the following steps. First, step S1 is performed to provide a patterned film and a mold, wherein the patterned film has a predetermined pattern, the mold has a cavity, a plurality of air inlets, and a filling nozzle, and wherein the air inlet and the washing port and the mold The holes are connected, and the patterned film is disposed on the inner wall of the mold. Then, step S2 is performed to inject the plastic into the cavity from the washing nozzle. The airflow is introduced from the air inlet hole, so that the plastic is relayed by the airflow, and the patterned film is evenly attached to the mold and immersed therein. ^本ΛΙΓ/ Since the __ film is flat _ in the mold " ^ ^ = film does not + will produce a sensitive fold during the injection of plastic), so the 'injection between the mold hole plastic and the patterned film In addition, the in-mold decoration printing of the embodiment can be understood to have a good quality and appearance. In order to be more clear, the method will be described in detail in the flow profile view. (4) For the best example of this issue, the model is built-in: the == is a cross-sectional view. First, as shown in Fig. 3A, the image of the rafting boat 310 and the mold is provided 320. μ^ Membrane a pattern; 14, ^ patterned film 31〇f includes a plastic W brush or 疋, and is formed on the plastic film 312 by a miscellaneous printing method. The mold 320 200819272 0950254 22021 twf.doc/e has a cavity 322, a pouring port 324, And a plurality of air inlet holes 326, wherein the air inlet holes 326 and the washing nozzles 324 communicate with the cavity 322, and the patterned film is disposed on the inner wall 320a of the mold 320. It is worth mentioning that in the present embodiment, 'patterning The film 310 has a predetermined pattern 314 whose one side faces the other side inner wall 320b of the mold 320, and the inner wall 3 20b corresponds to the inner wall 32A, for example, and the plurality of air holes 326 may be disposed on the inner wall 320b. After k is used to pattern the ruthenium film 310 and the mold 320, the plastic 330 is then injected into the cavity from the gate 324. 322 (shown in Fig. 3B). Next, as shown in Fig. 3C, an air flow is introduced from the air inlet hole 326, so that the plastic 33 is pressed by the air flow to the patterned film 31〇 disposed on the inner wall 320a of the mold, and The patterned film 310 is flatly attached to the inner wall 32 of the mold 32. In detail, since a part of the surface of the inner wall 320a of the mold has a large surface curvature, the patterned film 31 is disposed on the inner wall of the mold. There may be a gap between the timed film 31〇 and the inner wall of the mold. Referring to FIG. 3A), in addition, since the air inlet hole 326 is disposed, for example, on the inner wall of the other inner wall, the self-intake The gas age introduced by the hole 326 is toward the mold _ Shi (mesh _ 3 (8) square, moving, and the plastic 33 注入 injected into the cavity 322 will be subjected to the above gas: ^ patterned film 31 〇 spray. When the plastic version 31 After the crucible, the plastic 330 is applied, for example, to the patterned film 310. The patterned film 310 is flatly attached to the mold and 32 inches. In other words, the patterned film and the wall are: ς easy to have a gap. Between the soil and the weave is not worth mentioning In the process of injecting plastic 330, 200819272 0950254 22021 twf.doc/e simultaneously indirectly using the airflow to make the patterned film 31 〇 flatly attached to the die ==:== time to make the pattern thin "same, case _ 310 is flatly attached to the inner wall 320a of the mold =::==: From: venting d, -,.

That is, the in-mold decorative printing method of the preferred embodiment of the present invention has better process efficiency. While the present invention has been described in its preferred embodiments, the present invention is not intended to limit the invention, and the present invention may be modified and modified without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. The scope of protection is subject to the definition of the scope of the patent application.
