Science and technology changes the life, for making the thermos cup have the temperature display function, various intelligent cups are produced at the same time, have had many kinds of thermos cup patent products that have touch screen liquid crystal display on the market. However, since these products belong to active display devices (with battery circuit display), the technology is complex, the manufacturing is troublesome, the cost is high, the selling price is expensive, and the batteries are required to be replaced, so that the products are positioned to be high-end consumer goods, high-grade luxury gifts- 'boss cups'.

The water cup has the advantages of lower cost, no need of electric devices and wider application under the premise of realizing temperature display.
In order to achieve the purpose, the technical scheme of the invention is as follows:
a liquid crystal temperature card is composed of two transparent film sheets and a plurality of polymer dispersed liquid crystal heat-sensitive light modulation film sheets which are arranged according to the size of a clearing point temperature value; the liquid crystal in the transparent film has different clearing point temperatures, the polymer dispersed liquid crystal thermosensitive light modulation film comprises liquid crystal, ultraviolet light curing polymer and spacers with the average refractive index similar to that of the liquid crystal, and the film is characterized in that: the liquid crystal is a long-pitch cholesteric liquid crystal, the pitch of the liquid crystal is more than 0.5 micrometer, and when the average refractive index of the liquid crystal is 1.6-1.64, the refractive index of the corresponding ultraviolet curing polymer is 1.6-1.64. The liquid crystal temperature card is a polymer dispersed liquid crystal thermosensitive light modulation film thick film card.
The liquid crystal is also doped with a color organic dye, and the addition amount of the color organic dye accounts for 0.1-0.5% of the weight of the liquid crystal; adjacent films have different light colors; the polymer dispersed liquid crystal thermosensitive light-adjusting film has different light color scattering fog-state appearances, the back surface is printed with deep color temperature value figures, and when the temperature of a clearing point is not reached, the temperature value figures printed on the film are not clear enough and are not easy to identify; each polymer dispersed liquid crystal heat-sensitive light modulation film has corresponding temperature of a clearing point, and different temperatures of the clearing points are distinguished by using different colors, so that the film is changed into a light color transparent state when reaching the corresponding temperature, namely, heat-sensitive light modulation, thereby clearly displaying the temperature value number which is difficult to identify originally.
The particle size of the spacer is 65-125 mu m, and the spacer is a plastic microsphere.
The weight percentage of the liquid crystal and the ultraviolet light curing prepolymer is 3.5-6.5: 6.5-3.5, wherein the weight of the spacer accounts for 0.1-0.5% of the total weight of the polymer dispersed liquid crystal.
The manufacturing method of the liquid crystal temperature card comprises the following steps:
1) preparing mixed liquid of a series of long-pitch cholesteric liquid crystals with different clearing point temperatures and an ultraviolet curing prepolymer, doping and adding colored organic dyes with different colors into different mixed liquid, enabling the refractive index of the ultraviolet curing prepolymer after curing to be close to the average refractive index of the liquid crystals, and adding a large-particle-size spacer into the mixed liquid;
2) coating the mixed solution between two transparent conductive films for film coating to prepare a series of composite films to be cured;
3) carrying out ultraviolet exposure phase separation and solidification to separate out liquid crystal into micro-droplets with the size below micron from the prepolymer, and polymerizing and solidifying the prepolymer to obtain a series of color heat-sensitive light adjusting films with different light colors and different clearing point temperatures;
4) cutting the thermosensitive light-adjusting film into small-sized sector, trapezoid or rectangular small pieces to form a polymer dispersed liquid crystal thermosensitive light-adjusting film;
5) arranging fan-shaped or trapezoid or rectangular small pieces of the polymer dispersed liquid crystal heat-sensitive dimming film sheets with different clearing point temperatures according to different clearing point temperatures (and different colors) in sequence to form a disc, a ring or a strip sheet, assembling the disc, the ring or the strip sheet into two transparent film sheets, and bonding the two transparent film sheets by using a sealant to form a heat-sensitive dimming thick film liquid crystal temperature card with multiple colors; wherein, dark color temperature value numbers are printed on one transparent film.
A water cup with a liquid crystal temperature card is provided with the liquid crystal temperature card, and the liquid crystal temperature card is composed of two transparent films and a plurality of polymer dispersed liquid crystal thermosensitive light modulation film films which are arranged in sequence.
The adjacent films have different light colors, and the films are arranged into a disc, a circular ring or a strip card according to the temperature value of the clearing points; the liquid crystal temperature card is assembled at the bottom of the cup or on the side wall of the cup, and the indicated water temperature in the cup can be seen from the outside of the cup.
The clearing point temperature of the liquid crystal in two adjacent polymer dispersed liquid crystal film sheets is different by 3 ℃ or 5 ℃. The temperature display interval of the liquid crystal temperature card is any interval of 30-100 ℃.
A method for manufacturing a water cup with a liquid crystal temperature card comprises an assembly mode of the liquid crystal temperature card on the water cup, and the specific mode is as follows:
1) a disc-shaped liquid crystal temperature card is adhered and assembled at the bottom in a transparent glass water cup (or a double-layer transparent glass heat preservation cup) by using an adhesive, and a glass sheet is covered on the liquid crystal temperature card for sealing, so that the temperature value indicated by the liquid crystal temperature card can be seen through the cup.
2) The annular liquid crystal temperature card is adhered and assembled on the outer side surface of the cylindrical transparent glass water cup or the outer side surface of the inner wall of the cylindrical vacuum layer of the double-layer transparent glass cup by using an adhesive, so that the temperature value indicated by the liquid crystal temperature card can be seen through the side surface of the cylindrical cup.
3) A disc-shaped liquid crystal temperature card is adhered and assembled on the bottom of a vacuum layer glass bin of a cover on a stainless steel vacuum cup by using an adhesive, and a window is formed outside the cover to enable a temperature value indicated by the liquid crystal temperature card in the glass bin to be visible through the window.
The utility model provides an application of thermos cup with liquid crystal temperature card, this liquid crystal temperature card itself just can be used as portable, non-electronic type, non-accurate temperature indicator card, and the equipment is inlayed on the thermos cup, can obtain the drinking cup product that has the temperature indication function of low-cost practicality.
The transparent film used by the polymer dispersed liquid crystal thermosensitive light modulation film is a transparent conductive film, and is favorable for firm bonding. The liquid crystal and the prepolymer only have optical parameter requirements but not electrical parameter requirements, do not need high-purity high-resistance raw materials, and can be cheap raw materials. The product of the invention does not need to be produced in a clean workshop.
The transparent films may be of the same or different materials and thicknesses, the small film sandwiching the polymer dispersed liquid crystal layer is preferably made of a transparent conductive film material such as PET of 0.1-0.2 mm, and the large film covering the upper and lower small pieces is preferably made of a PET or PC transparent film of 0.1-0.5 mm. The temperature scale value on the film is consistent with the clearing point temperature of the corresponding polymer dispersed liquid crystal film sheet.
Compared with the prior cholesteric liquid crystal thermochromatic effect body temperature card and the manufacturing technology thereof, the invention has the beneficial effects that:
the working principle of the existing cholesteric liquid crystal thermochromatic effect body temperature card is that cholesteric liquid crystal Bragg selects light reflection, different liquid crystal blocks have different light reflection temperature intervals, the back bottom is coated with black, temperature scale value black characters are printed on the surface, and when the liquid crystal does not reflect visible light, the temperature scale characters and the black back bottom are fused into a whole and cannot be seen; when the liquid crystal has visible light reflection, the liquid crystal blocks are colored to cover the black background so as to display black characters with the temperature scale value on the surface. The invention provides a body temperature card which is different from a cholesteric liquid crystal thermochromatic effect, namely a temperature card based on a Polymer Dispersed Liquid Crystal (PDLC) thermosensitive dimming principle, wherein thermosensitive dimming is the change between a scattering state and a transparent state along with the temperature. The thermosensitive dimming effect of the polymer dispersed liquid crystal film means that when the ambient temperature reaches the clearing point temperature of the polymer dispersed liquid crystal, the PDLC liquid crystal droplets are changed into isotropic transparent liquid from anisotropic turbid liquid, and the film becomes very transparent when the refractive index of the polymer is designed to be matched with the refractive index (which can be expressed by the average refractive index of the liquid crystal) of the liquid crystal clearing point. The existing polymer dispersed liquid crystal electric control light adjusting film is required to be as thin as possible under the condition that the voltage applied by the transparent conductive film is as low as possible, and the polymer dispersed liquid crystal layer is as thin as possible (such as 15-20 micrometers), so that the light shading capability of the PDLC film is not required to be strong, and objects are not visible at intervals of several centimeters away from the film, namely the requirements are met. The present invention requires that the PDLC be more opaque, and that objects be invisible a few millimeters apart from the film. In order to achieve the purpose of making the PDLC film have stronger shading capability, the thickness of the PDLC film layer is designed to be 65-125 micrometers, so that the PDLC film has stronger scattering capability. When the temperature is lower than the clearing point temperature of the PDLC film, the product is in a scattering fog state, and the temperature value number printed on the back surface is not easy to identify. When the temperature reaches the clearing point temperature of the PDLC, the product gradually becomes transparent and can clearly display the temperature value number which is difficult to identify originally. The appearance of the polymer dispersed liquid crystal heat-sensitive light-adjusting temperature card product can be colorless, white, single-color or multicolor and other designs. Different from PDLC electric control dimming film and liquid crystal writing board products, an ultra-clean workshop is not needed in the production environment in the manufacture of the liquid crystal temperature card (a transparent conductive film is adopted, and due to the existence of an inorganic layer, the ultraviolet curing adhesive is bonded more firmly, so that the bonding force between films can be improved).
The manufacturing method of the water cup with the liquid crystal temperature card is basically compatible with the manufacturing process of various existing vacuum heat-preservation cups, and does not need to be changed greatly. For example, in the existing transparent glass vacuum cup, only the disc-shaped liquid crystal temperature card needs to be pasted at the bottom inside the cup, and a piece of glass is covered for packaging, so that the indicated temperature can be seen through the outside of the side of the glass cup or can be seen from the top by opening the cup cover. Or the annular or strip-shaped liquid crystal temperature card is pasted on the outer side surface of the cylindrical inner wall of the double-layer glass cup, and the indicated temperature can be seen through the outer layer side glass. For the stainless steel vacuum cup, only the simple design of the cup cover is needed, a flat cylindrical glass bin and a window are formed, the cylindrical surface of the glass bin is sleeved by a hard rubber cylinder which is screwed and sealed by a common heat-resistant belt, the lower bottom of the glass bin is in contact with water vapor in the vacuum cup for heat transfer, a liquid crystal temperature card is tightly attached to the bottom of the glass bin, and the indicated temperature can be seen through the window on the glass bin on the stainless steel cup cover.
Compared with the first generation and the second generation of vacuum cups with passive non-electronic temperature indication functions, the water cup with the liquid crystal temperature card is a multilayer film thick film card (which can be in a disc shape, a circular ring shape or a strip shape), is easier to assemble on the water cup or the vacuum cup than a thin glass tube of a rod-shaped alcohol or mercury thermometer, and has a simpler structure than a thermosensitive elastic deformation pointer type thermometer.
Compared with a high-grade luxurious intelligent vacuum cup, the cup with the liquid crystal temperature card can be called as a heat-knowing cup. The touch screen without a battery circuit and the like has the advantages of simplicity, practicability, low manufacturing cost, low product selling price and the like. The cup or the vacuum cup with the liquid crystal temperature card and the temperature indicating function can be slightly modified into a cup or a vacuum cup with the liquid crystal temperature card and the temperature indicating function without special complex design and various stainless steel vacuum cups, glass vacuum cups, even baby bottles, student cups and the like. In addition, the temperature in the water cup in life does not need to be very accurate, and the fact that various intelligent cups give very accurate temperature values is not meaningful, so that the liquid crystal temperature card can indicate the approximate temperature of water in the water cup to be enough.
Compared with the patent of the inventor, namely a polymer dispersed liquid crystal thermosensitive dimming temperature card and a manufacturing method thereof (2019108078929), the temperature error indicated by the invention is larger due to the hysteresis effect of the polymer dispersed nematic liquid crystal film. The liquid crystal is long-pitch cholesteric liquid crystal, and the defect that the error of indicating temperature is too large can be overcome. The "hysteresis effect" refers to that the curve of the transmittance of the thermal dimming with the temperature rise and the curve with the temperature fall are not coincident and have great difference, and is similar to a "hysteresis loop" or can also be called as the "hysteresis effect" of the thermal dimming. The reason for the retardation effect is that the polymer interface molecules do not have strong enough effect on the nematic liquid crystal molecules, and the liquid crystal enters an isotropic state after exceeding the clearing point temperature, and then enters anisotropy after being cooled, so that the retardation is shown. The chiral agent is added in the doping process, so that nematic liquid crystal can be changed into cholesteric liquid crystal, and the chiral agent causes nematic liquid crystal molecules to enter a spiral anisotropic birefringence turbid state more quickly when the temperature is reduced. The long pitch means that the pitch is more than 0.5 micron, so that the Bragg reflection wavelength is more than 0.8 micron in the near infrared to the middle infrared (the cholesteric liquid crystal thermochromatic effect body temperature card is used for short pitch cholesteric liquid crystal). The addition amount of the chiral agent can adjust the error of the PDLC thermosensitive light-adjusting temperature. The invention also adds the color organic dye into the liquid crystal, so that the films with different clearing point temperatures have different colors, thereby not only being rich and beautiful in the color of the final product, but also being more beneficial to manual assembly operation in production and avoiding error card placement caused by misoperation. Meanwhile, the spacer with the extra-large particle size is used for replacing the spacer with the medium particle size in the temperature card, the particle size of the spacer is 65-125 mu m (products with the specification of Suzhou Nami company), even if the liquid crystal film layer is thicker, the covering effect of the spacer is improved, and the display precision is improved. In addition, the transparent film that polymer dispersion liquid crystal heat-sensitive membrane of adjusting luminance used in this application is transparent conductive film, can solve and discover when adopting prior art that the cohesive force of ordinary film ultraviolet curing adhesive is too poor and leads to the problem that can't carry out cutting process, improves its film and coheres firm intensity, is favorable to cutting into the yield of small piece, more does benefit to the manufacturing and can assemble on the less object of object (like the thermos cup).

Different color organic dyes are added into the long-pitch cholesteric liquid crystal with different clearing point temperatures, and the addition amount is 0.3 percent of the weight percentage of the liquid crystal. The ultraviolet curing prepolymer formula comprises the following main components in percentage by weight: photoinitiator 1173 (provided by Nanjing Wa mechanical chemical engineering Co., Ltd., N ═ 1.533) 1-3%, isobornyl acrylate (provided by Linyidet chemical Co., Ltd., N ═ 1.5) 7-9%, urethane acrylate (commercially available, N ═ 1.5) 5-10%, o-phenylphenoxyethyl acrylate OPPEA (commercially available, N ═ 1.57) 30-45%, bis-phenylphenoxyethyl acrylate BPEA (Taiwan chemical industry, N ═ 1.57) 30-45%, and the refractive index of the prepared prepolymer after curing is also matched with the average refractive index of liquid crystal by about 1.62. The liquid crystal and prepolymer were mixed in a ratio of 6 to 4 weight percent and in a ratio of about 0.1 weight percent (0.2 percent of the total weight of the liquid crystal and prepolymer) into spacer plastic microspheres (available from Suzhou Nami micro technology Co., Ltd.) having a particle size of 125 μm.
