DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS
[0068] In order to better explain the technical features, objects and effects of the present invention, particular embodiments of the present invention will now be described herein with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Embodiment 1
[0069] This embodiment provides a paper-forming mold, the paper-forming mold, comprising: a roller 1. A number of through micropores are formed on a wall of the roller 1, and one or more patterns and characters of a normal watermark, a white watermark, a windowed security thread, and a paper marker are carved on the wall of the roller 1.
[0070] The main innovation points of the paper-forming mold provided in this embodiment lie in that the paper-forming mold is a roller 1 of a non-woven thin-walled structure, and the roller 1 has both micropores and patterns and characters recessed to different depths. The micropores and the patterns and characters are formed by processing a thin plate body, rather than separate components. Moreover, the heights of the micropores and the patterns and characters do not exceed a surface of the roller 1, and the surface of the roller 1 is free of projections.
[0071] A normal watermark and a white watermark described in this embodiment are both watermarks, but the two are not the same, and the differences between them are as follows.
[0072] Normal watermark: a mold has a transition region in a watermark region for creating a normal watermark and is provided with voids such as micropores having a water filtration function. In addition, the created normal watermark has a gray-scale and layered visual effect. In the prior art, a watermark region for creating a normal watermark is directly formed by pressing.
[0073] White watermark: a mold has no transition region in a watermark region for creating a white watermark and is not provided with voids such as micropores having a water filtration function. In addition, the created white watermark does not have a layered visual effect. In the prior art, a watermark region for creating a white watermark is formed by soldering a separately made metal film to a watermark cylinder mold.
[0074] In this embodiment, the micropores are penetrating pores through the wall of the roller 1, inlets of the micropores are located on an outer wall of the roller 1, and outlets of the micropores are located on an inner wall of the roller 1. The inlet of the micropore is in communication with the outlet of the micropore to form a through passage for drainage of a fiber suspension liquid.
[0075] Generally, a cross section of the micropore passage may be circular, elliptical, polygonal, crescent-shaped, etc. Different cross sections may be the same or different in shape, and the different cross sections may be the same or different in proportion. For example, when the cross section of the micropore passage is circular, the micropore passage may be a cylindrical space, that is, the micropore is a cylindrical pore, as shown in
[0076] In this embodiment, considering the feasibility of the creating of micropores and the controllability of drainage rate of the micropores, all the micropores on one roller 1 use an equal-diameter perforated structure with a circular cross section, that is, the micropore passages are cylindrical.
[0077] Further, the pore diameters of the number of micropores at the same height are all equal or not all equal. With regard to a structure with cylindrical micropore passages, the pore diameters of the number of micropores are equal or not all equal.
[0078] In another specific embodiment, micropores on one roller 1 are cylindrical pores of the same pore diameter. In this case, the micropores are cylindrical pores. Compared to a structure using conical pores, the cylindrical pores have the advantage that the pore diameters are consistent at the same height position relative to an outer wall surface or an inner wall surface of the roller 1, facilitating the calculation of the porosity to control the gray scale of the watermarks.
[0079] In this embodiment, the porosities of the micropores in different regions are not all equal.
[0080] In this embodiment, a solution in which the pore diameters of micropores are not all equal and the densities are not all equal is used to meet the requirements of watermark grayscale change, that is, the porosities of the micropores meeting the requirements of watermark grayscale change are used: the porosities of the micropores are small in a bright part of the watermark and the porosities of the micropores are large in a dark part of the watermark.
[0081] For example, when the pore diameters of the micropores are equal, the densities of the micropores are small and the micropores are dispersed in the bright part of the watermark; and the densities of the micropores are large and the micropores are compact in the dark part of the watermark.
[0082] For another example, when the micropores have the same density, the pore diameters of the micropores are small in the bright part of the watermark; and the pore diameters of the micropores are large in the dark part of the watermark.
[0083] Of course, it is also possible to consider that both the porosities of the micropores and the heights of carving lines of the patterns and characters affect the gray level of the watermark.
[0084] As shown in
[0085] As shown in
[0086] As shown in
[0087] As shown in
[0088] It can be seen from the above-described content that the paper-forming mold disclosed in this embodiment has a high reproducibility for an original watermark draft, improves consistency, clarity, three-dimensionality, detail refinement, and richness of the watermark in paper. Thus it enhances the anti-counterfeiting function of the watermarked paper and the service life of the paper-forming mold is prolonged The automation level of mold manufacturing is improved and the labor intensity is greatly reduced.
[0089] Further, passages of the micropores are arranged obliquely. It is convenient to drain water during papermaking.
[0090] Further, the micropores are created using any one of a laser, an electric spark, and an electron beam, and the patterns and characters are created using a laser carving machine or a mechanical carving machine. In this embodiment, only common creating methods are listed, but the creating of the micropores and the patterns and characters is not limited to the above-mentioned creating methods.
[0091] As shown in
[0092] Further, the roller 1 is made of copper or nickel or an alloy or a hydrophobic plastic. The hydrophobic plastic may be selected from polytetrafluoroethylene or polyoxymethylene or polyurethane or polypropylene or polyvinyl chloride.
[0093] As shown in
[0094] Further, in order to further improve the working strength of the roller 1, reinforcing ribs 4 are further arranged in the roller 1.
[0095] Further, the content of the normal watermark or the white watermark or the paper marker is any one or a combination of elements including patterns, letters, numbers, symbols, and characters.
[0096] This embodiment also provides a method for manufacturing the above-described paper-forming mold. The method mainly comprises manufacturing of a roller 1, three-dimensional pattern design of a watermark, carving, and perforation. The specific manufacturing method thereof lies in that a roller 1 is manufactured first, the paper forming mold is then designed according to the characteristics of patterns and characters and requirements for water filtration, and finally, micropores and the patterns and characters are created on a wall of the roller 1 according to the design.
[0097] The creating of the micropores and the patterns and characters is not limited to a specific order. That is, any one of the following modes can be used:
[0098] Mode 1: the micropores are created first, and the patterns and characters are then created;
[0099] Mode 2: the patterns and characters are created first, and the micropores are then created;
[0100] Mode 3: the creating of the micropores is performed concurrently with, separate from, and not interspersed with the creating of the patterns and characters; and
[0101] Mode 4: the creating of the micropores is performed concurrently with, and interspersed with the creating of the patterns and characters.
[0102] Generally, when the paper-forming mold is manufactured, patterns and/or characters of a normal watermark, a white watermark, a windowed security thread, etc. are directly carved on the roller 1 after micropores are made, or patterns and/or characters of a normal watermark, a white watermark, a windowed security thread, etc. are firstly carved on a pore-free roller 1, and then micropores are made on the roller 1 by applying laser or other techniques.
[0103] Further, during the design of the paper-forming mold, the pore diameters of individual micropores, the porosities of micropores in different regions, and lines of the patterns and characters are designed according to the characteristics of the patterns and characters and the requirements for water filtration.
[0104] By comparing the use effects of the paper-forming mold described in this embodiment and the watermark cylinder mold in the prior art through multi-group experiments, when being used for papermaking, the paper-forming mold provided in this embodiment has a high reproducibility for an original watermark design draft, improves consistency, clarity, three-dimensionality, detail refinement and richness of the watermark in paper, and thus enhances the anti-counterfeiting function of the watermarked paper. The service life of the paper forming mold is prolonged the automation level of watermark mold manufacturing is improved, and the labor intensity is greatly reduced.
