UA140731U - METHOD OF MANUFACTURING A VOLUME NUMBER SIGN OF A VEHICLE OR ITS DUPLICATE - Google Patents

Abstract

A method of making a three-dimensional number plate of a vehicle or its duplicate includes making a base in the form of a plate with a layer of reflective film and separately making elements of the sign from colored and transparent composite materials. All identification elements of the sign are glued in layers on its base, which visually creates its three-dimensional appearance.

Description

The useful model belongs to the methods of manufacturing devices for identification of vehicles, namely, to signs of number vehicles or their duplicates.

The number plate of the vehicle has a base in the form of a plate, which can be made of different materials, for example, aluminum or polymer material. A reflective coating, alphanumeric or other symbols and protective elements are applied to the front surface of the base in accordance with current regulatory and technical documents (DSTU 4278:2012,

DSTU 3650:2012). Alphanumeric symbols indicate, for example, the regional and/or state affiliation of the vehicle and are located in various parts on the surface of the base.

A well-known method of manufacturing a license plate sign or its duplicate, invented by O. V. Prosyan. (patent MO 70216, entered into force in 2012 |. The specified method includes the manufacture of a workpiece having the shape of a plate and containing an aluminum base and a layer of reflective film, applying a layer of coloring material to the workpiece.

The reflective film contains an adhesive layer, is sensitive to pressure and is intended for application to the surface of aluminum or aluminum alloy by the method of hot stamping. Before applying a layer of coloring material to the workpiece, such actions as applying protective elements to the reflective film and deformation of the workpiece in a cold state are carried out to obtain relief areas on the surface of the workpiece that protrude above the surface of the workpiece.

A known analogue, where the registration board is equipped with a light source to improve the identification of the vehicle (invention patent Mo 2649, Republic of Moldova|.

However, license plates of vehicles made using these methods have a relatively short useful life, since the layer of paint applied to the relief elements of the sign can be quickly erased under the influence of external factors, in particular, such as cleaning dirt from the surface of the sign. This leads to the loss of the main functionality of the sign and its ability to provide identification of the vehicle at a distance. The proposed analogs in the form of illumination also do not fully solve this problem, since the light source in such a solution is not hermetically protected, therefore, as well as the registration number itself, it can be smeared with dirt. The registration number is not adapted to the requirement of efficiency, which leads to unnecessary costs of automobile gasoline.

The purpose of the useful model is to increase the period of use of the sign without its necessary replacement and to ensure the identification of the vehicle in adverse weather conditions, in particular, in the dark.

The task is solved by the method of manufacturing a three-dimensional sign of a numbered vehicle, which includes the manufacture of a blank that has the shape of a plate and contains a plastic base with a layer of reflective film, and the separate manufacture of sign elements from colored and transparent composite materials. All identifying elements of the sign are glued layer by layer on its base, which visually creates its three-dimensional appearance.

Thanks to the use of composite materials instead of paint, the task of extending the service life of the sign is solved.

According to a useful model, the method of manufacturing a three-dimensional sign of a numbered vehicle or its duplicate includes the following operations: 1) manufacturing the white base and all elements from colored and transparent composite materials using a high-precision CNC laser machine; 2) step-by-step and layer-by-layer gluing of first transparent and then colored elements of the sign on a white base, thanks to which a three-dimensional look of all identification elements is achieved; 3) pressing of the number plate under pressure for better gluing.

It is possible to implement a useful model, which includes, before gluing identification elements on the reflective base of the sign, mounting on its reverse side a flat narrow board (20 mm) with LED elements, which is fixed in such a way that the LED elements fall into specially designated holes opposite those on the front side symbols are pasted with a transparent substrate to diffuse light.

Power is output to the car's parking lights lighting system or to separate batteries. Illumination power supply: 128.

It is possible to implement a useful model, which includes the manufacture of a workpiece that has the shape of a plate and represents the base, which consists of two layers of sheet aluminum (1 mm each) and an adhesive layer between them (1 mm) and a layer of reflective film. All identification elements of the license plate are made of colored and transparent composite materials, which are layer-by-layer glued to its base with hot glue and additionally fixed from the back of the license plate with screws.

The essence of the proposed useful model is explained by the drawings, which show images of possible options for vehicle license plates:

Fig. 1 - appearance of a useful model;

Fig. 2 - rear view of the utility model in the version with LED lighting;

Fig. C - a cross-section of a version of the useful model on a layer basis.

In fig. 1 shows a three-dimensional vehicle license plate or its duplicate, which includes the manufacture of a base (1) in the form of a plate with a layer of reflective film (2) and the separate manufacture of alphanumeric or other symbols (3) of the sign from colored and transparent composite materials.

In fig. 2 shows a vehicle license plate or its duplicate, which has holes (4) for mounting LED elements behind the license plate.

In fig. A cross-section of a variant of the useful model is illustrated, which includes the use of a base for the manufacture of a sign from two layers of sheet aluminum (5) and an adhesive layer between them (6) and a layer of reflective film (2).

Thus, the claimed method of manufacturing a three-dimensional license plate of a vehicle includes a combination of modern composite materials in various combinations with the possibility of achieving light-optical effects due to artificial illumination. The proposed useful model can be manufactured (reproduced) on known equipment using existing technologies and materials.
