Patent Description:
The present disclosure relates to the field of printing technology, and in particular, to a manufacturing and quality testing method and a manufacturing device for a printed product capable of resisting abnormal environmental changes and operating in all weather and suitable for hygiene management operations, and the printed product.

Paper made from pulp is a common material for publications. Paper articles, especially those for young children, must be used very carefully because they are easily torn during turning of the pages. Special articles, for example, those that are waterproof, are synthesized from or made by a textile process from chemical composite materials, plastics, etc. In addition, printed products used on special occasions, for example, sports activities, industrial production lines, hygiene management and so on, are often subjected to extreme temperatures and abnormal environments, in which case various intrusive damage forces caused by turbulence induced by fluids varying from freezing to boiling, or turbulence of gases under sub-zero, high heat and steam conditions, can result in different damage to common printed products. Any of the above conditions can cause great challenges to paper products, resulting in destructive damage to the structure of paper and thus loss of durability of the paper, as a result of which the printed products cannot be reused.

There is thus a need in the publishing industry to create a printed product, to select a suitable material capable of permanently bearing printed images and to develop a durable binding method. The finished product cannot be damaged under extreme temperatures and abnormal environmental conditions, and the final product is suitable for use in all-weather environments and for multiple purposes, and hygiene management can be performed to continuously extend the service life of the product. This is the practicality of the present disclosure.

The printed product is suitable for the following applications.

In the business world, there are several publications that can be used as water-resistant books for leisurely reading in the bath, which are, for example, those published by Maria Carter and Culture & Arts that can be used in water environments on beaches. The material of these books is a synthetic paper (not a lignin fiber material) made of polypropylene which is a kind of semi-crystalline thermoplastic (polypropylene, PP). Additional special treatment such as corona discharge or applying a water-repellent liquid and an ink affinity agent and the like is also performed on the surface of the plastic to achieve waterproof and phase printing effects. Another type of bath books is young children's toys. Amazon lists a lot of such products that are made of plastic and sponge. These books are also non-fiber type of books.

It can be seen from the above that synthetic paper and plastic are often used to produce waterproof books. Maria Carter and Culture & Arts did not disclose technologies for producing their books, nor did they disclose solutions as to how their books could resist extreme temperatures such as varying from freezing to steam encountered during use as well as physical and mechanical destructive forces caused by severe abnormal environments during disinfection and washing, nor did they disclose quality testing methods for their books.

The embodiments of the present disclosure provide a manufacturing and quality testing method for a printed product capable of resisting abnormal environmental changes and operating in all weather and suitable for hygiene management operations as claimed in claim <NUM>, which can produce a printed product capable of resisting extreme temperatures and normal environments and having enhanced durability. Optional steps of the method are provided in dependent claims <NUM> to <NUM>.

The embodiments of the present disclosure can be implemented as follows.

In the first aspect, the embodiments of the present disclosure provide a manufacturing and quality testing method for a printed product capable of resisting abnormal environmental changes and operating in all weather and suitable for hygiene management operations.

In step <NUM>, a material for producing a content component of the product is selected. The material has a structure that exhibits bi-characteristics which are rigidity and hydrophilicity.

In step <NUM>, a polyurethane adhesive is prepared. The polyurethane adhesive is characterized in that during the chemically curing process of the adhesive, isocyanate and water vapor undergo chemical changes, unidirectionally transform into strong physical bonds, and then become cured to obtain a cured body. Chains of the bonds are characterized in that they are not to be damaged or broken when subjected to extreme temperatures, and thus are capable of resisting abnormal environmental changes, without their chemical changes being reversed which can cause physical disintegration of the chains of the bonds and thus damage the structure of the printed product. The cured body should be flexible in terms of its physical state and be greatly flexional when used. In order to reinforce the strength of the irreversible adhesive, waterproof glass fiber filaments with a maximum length of <NUM> may be mixed into the adhesive with a largest volume ratio of the waterproof glass fiber filaments to the adhesive being <NUM>% to increase the adhesive ability and flexibility.

In step <NUM>, waterproof and weather-resistant images are formed on a sheet material of the content component of the product by an appropriate single-side or double-side printing method. An ink used is a fluid of pigment particles containing micron pigment particles suspended in an aqueous or non-aqueous solution, or a fluid of dye containing the dye mixed in an aqueous or non-aqueous solution. The viscosity of the fluid is required to comply with the physical phenomenon of capillary action. During the printing process, the ink or a vaporized pigment becomes a steam and passes through the micro-pores on the sheet material and is drawn into a waterproof fiber tissue or gaps between the waterproof fiber filaments by the physical phenomenon of the capillary action, and then the ink or the vaporized pigment is naturally dried or cooled down, rendering the pigment particles or the dye solidified and permanently locked between the fiber filaments or yarns. The pigment particles or the dye does not melt when subjected to heat and its adhesion is thus achieved. This printing process can be used to print all components of the product.

In step <NUM>, connecting between the content component of the weather-resistant product and a cover is performed. The connecting may be realized by means of a polyurethane adhesive, sewing, mechanical assembly, or a combination of two or three of the following processes.

The standards for the material used in the binding process should be as follows.

Waterproof and weather-resistant images are formed on the sheet material of the content component of the product by an appropriate single-side or double-side printing method.

The ink for printing must be a highly penetrable pigment suspended in an aqueous or non-aqueous solution, or a dye mixed in an aqueous or non-aqueous solution, or the dye can be sublimated to the micro-pores on the surface of the sheet material, and then the ink liquid is automatically absorbed into between the waterproof fiber filament tissues by the surface tension of the capillary tubes, naturally solidified, or cooled down to be permanently fused in the fiber filament tissues. During the process, the ink is preheated to increase its fluidity, or sublimated and gasified, and then cooled to stably fuse. After the ink is dried, it enters a permanent solid state and a state of not being able to be reversely melted.

The pigment particles or the dye, when under capillary action, can enter between the fiber filaments and become solidified and permanently fused in the fiber tissues to be used in all-weather operation, disinfection and sterilization, and washing and cleaning projects. Methods for drying the ink can be natural drying, oxidation, volatilization, ultraviolet solidification, thermal sublimation and cooling solidification, hot air, cold air, and traditional heating.
