DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The features and exemplary embodiments of all aspects of the disclosure will be described in detail below. In the following detailed description, many specific details are given to provide a thorough understanding of the disclosure. However, it is apparent to those skilled in the art that the disclosure may be practiced without some of these specific details. The following description of the embodiments is given only to provide a better understanding of the disclosure by illustrating examples of the disclosure.

It should be noted that in this paper, relational terms such as first and second are only used to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and do not necessarily require or imply such relationship or sequence between these entities or operations. Furthermore, the terms “comprise”, “include” or any other variation thereof are used to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article or equipment including a series of elements includes not only the mentioned elements, but also other elements not explicitly listed, or elements inherent to such process, method, article or equipment. Without further restrictions, the elements defined by the sentence “comprising . . . ” do not exclude other same elements in the process, method, article or equipment comprising the elements.

To make the disclosure be better understood, the identification card according to the embodiment of the disclosure will be described in detail with reference toFIG.1toFIG.4.

Referring toFIG.1, which is a structural schematic diagram of an identification card provided by an embodiment of the disclosure. The embodiment of the disclosure provides an identification card, which comprises: a ceramic substrate1with opposite surfaces, wherein at least one surface is provided with an accommodating part; and a marking joint part2arranged in the accommodating part, wherein the orthogonal projection of the accommodating part on the ceramic substrate1covers the orthogonal projection of the marking joint part2on the ceramic substrate1, and the marking joint part2comprises a bearing layer21and a marking part22arranged on the bearing layer21, wherein the bearing layer21and the marking part22are of an integrated structure.

The identification card provided by the embodiment of this disclosure comprises a ceramic substrate1and a marking joint part2, wherein an accommodating part is arranged on the ceramic substrate1for setting the marking joint part2to ensure the flatness of the identification card, and the orthogonal projection of the accommodating part on the ceramic substrate1covers the orthogonal projection of the marking joint part2on the ceramic substrate1, i.e., the length, width and other measurements of the accommodating part are slightly greater than or equal to the length, width and other measurements of the marking joint part2, which is convenient for placing the marking joint part2, and the bearing layer21of the marking joint part2and the marking part22are of an integrated structure, which has high structural strength and is not easy to separate. The identification card provided by this embodiment has higher material hardness and structural strength, and is not easy to deform due to the adoption of ceramic substrate.

The marking part22may be a functional module for user identification, such as a chip, a magnetic stripe, a signature strip, a bank logo or an anti-counterfeit label, and the bearing layer21may be made of one of or the combination of PVC (Polyvinyl chloride), PET (Polyethylene terephthalate), ABS (Styrene resin), or other resin materials. The bearing layer21has a sheet structure for bearing the marking part22, and the bearing layer21and the marking part22can be formed into an integrated structure by stamping or other processes. Specifically, at first, a plurality of marking parts22are uniformly arranged on a large bearing layer21, and then an integrated structure including the large bearing layer21and a plurality of marking parts22is formed by stamping or other processes, and at last an integrated structure including only one marking part22is formed by stamping, cutting or other processes to improve production efficiency. After that, the formed integrated structure is connected with the accommodating part by gluing.

Referring toFIG.2, in some optional embodiments, the ceramic substrate1includes a first ceramic substrate11and a second ceramic substrate12that are connected with each other, and the accommodating part is arranged on at least one of the first ceramic substrate11and the second ceramic substrate12.

It can be understood that the first ceramic substrate11and the second ceramic substrate12are attached to each other to form the ceramic substrate1, and the accommodating part is located on the surface opposite to the other of the first ceramic substrate11or the second ceramic substrate12, i.e., the accommodating part may be a closed space, and the marking joint part2can be fixed between the first ceramic substrate11and the second ceramic substrate12, or a through hole can be perforated on the first ceramic substrate11or the second ceramic substrate12to expose the marking part22of the marking joint part2to the outside to facilitate identifying.

In addition to the above-mentioned split structure in which the ceramic substrate1includes the first ceramic substrate11and the second ceramic substrate12, the ceramic substrate1may also adopt an integrated structure as shown inFIG.1, i.e., the ceramic substrate1has an integral sheet-like structure, herein an accommodating part is directly arranged on the outer surface of the ceramic substrate1, and the marking joint part2is connected with the ceramic substrate1by gluing or other processes.

Referring toFIG.3, in some optional embodiments, the marking part22includes a chip part221and an information marking part222, and the chip part221and the information marking part222are respectively arranged in the accommodating parts on the surfaces of the first ceramic substrate11and the second ceramic substrate12, which surfaces are opposite to each other.

It should be noted that the accommodating part is not limited to be arranged only on one of the first ceramic substrate11or the second ceramic substrate12, but may also be arranged on both the first ceramic substrate11and the second ceramic substrate12, i.e., the accommodating part includes a first accommodating part and a second accommodating part, and the chip part221and the information marking part222are respectively fixed in the first accommodating part and the second accommodating part, herein the chip part221may specifically includes a carrier tape, a chip or other components.

In some optional embodiments, the information marking part222includes at least one of a magnetic stripe, a bank logo, a signature strip and a card pattern part, and the bank logo and the card pattern part are arranged in the form of standing gold.

It should be noted that the standing gold form specifically refers to the stereoscopic metal pattern process, i.e., the bank logo, card body pattern part, etc. can protrude to the outer surface of the ceramic substrate1to present a stereoscopic effect and improve the grade and effect of the layout design of the identification card.

In some optional embodiments, the orthogonal projection of the first ceramic substrate11on the identification card at least partially overlaps with the orthogonal projection of the second ceramic substrate12on the identification card.

It can be understood that the first ceramic substrate11and the second ceramic substrate12may be rectangular cards with the same shape and size, i.e., the orthogonal projection of the first ceramic substrate11on the identification card completely overlaps with the orthogonal projection of the second ceramic substrate12on the identification card, which facilitates the alignment connection between the first ceramic substrate11and the second ceramic substrate12. Certainly, the first ceramic substrate11and the second ceramic substrate12may also have different shapes and sizes, as long as they can be matched and connected with each other.

On the basis of the above embodiments, the surface of the first ceramic substrate11opposite to the second ceramic substrate12is provided with a clamping groove matched with the second ceramic substrate12, so that the second ceramic substrate12can be arranged in the clamping groove.

The surface of the first ceramic substrate11opposite to the the second ceramic substrate12is provided with a clamping groove matched with the second ceramic substrate12, i.e., the shape and size of the first ceramic substrate11are different from the shape and size of the second ceramic substrate12, and the size of the first ceramic substrate11is larger than the size of the second ceramic substrate12, so that the second ceramic substrate12can be accommodated by the clamping groove, and since the second ceramic substrate12is arranged in the clamping groove, separation of the first ceramic substrate11from the second ceramic substrate12can be effectively avoided, thus further improving the connection stability of the identification card.

Referring toFIG.3, in some optional embodiments, a pre-laminated layer3in contact with the marking joint part2is arranged between the first ceramic substrate11and the second ceramic substrate12, and the chip part221of the marking part22is connected with the antenna part of the pre-laminated layer3.

It should be noted that the pre-laminated layer3generally refers to an INLAY layer, and optionally, the pre-laminated layer3is a flexible material layer, which specifically refers to a pre-laminated product in which multiple PVC sheets and antennas or coils are laminated together. The pre-laminated layer3generally consists of two or three layers and there are no printed patterns on the surface, and INLAY products are suitable for the mass production of multi-variety cards at an early stage. Different non-contact cards are formed by laminating again the materials with different printed patterns on the top and bottom of the INLAY. PCB (Printed Circuit Board) or FPC (Flexible Printed Circuit), which are similar to NFC antenna (Near Field Communication) for mobile phones, may also be used.

In some optional embodiments, the orthogonal projection of the pre-laminated layer3on the first ceramic substrate11is rectangular, and the antenna part is arranged in the rectangular pre-laminated layer3; or, as shown inFIG.4, in order to reduce the material consumption, the orthogonal projection of the pre-laminated layer3on the first ceramic substrate11is annular, the annular shape may specifically be square or round, and the antenna part is annularly arranged corresponding to the pre-laminated layer3, and the first ceramic substrate11and/or the second ceramic substrate12are provided with a groove matched with the shape and size of the pre-laminated layer3.

The marking part22includes a chip part221connected with the antenna part of the pre-laminated layer3. Specifically, the chip part221is provided with a set of coils to communicate with the antenna part of the pre-laminated layer3, so as to realize functions such as signal transmission.

Specifically, the pre-laminated layer3further includes a first fixing layer31and a second fixing layer33, and the antenna part is arranged between the first fixing layer31and the second fixing layer33.

The first fixing layer31and the second fixing layer33may specifically be made of PVC (Polyvinyl chloride) or other materials to fix the antenna part.

Referring toFIG.5, in order to facilitate the use of the identification card, in some optional embodiments, the accommodating part includes a through hole penetrating the first ceramic substrate11, herein the marking part22is arranged in the through hole.

It can be understood that the marking part22is arranged in the through hole, and certain parts of the marking part22, such as an anti-counterfeiting label, a magnetic strip and a signature strip, which need to be exposed to the ceramic substrate, can be exposed through the through hole. Optionally, an adhesive layer or a3D printing layer can be arranged between the marking part22and the inner wall of the through hole for fixing and connecting, so as to prevent the marking part22from moving during use.

In order to further improve the connection stability between various parts of the identification card, in some optional embodiments, adhesive layers are provided between the accommodating part and the marking part22, and between the first ceramic substrate11and the second ceramic substrate12.

Specifically, the shape and size of the adhesive layer are matched with the shape and sizes of the accommodating part, the first ceramic substrate11or the second ceramic substrate12, so as to ensure an enough contact area between the adhesive layer and each component, thus improving the bonding effect.

Optionally, a stereoscopic printing layer is provided at the joint between the first ceramic substrate11and the second ceramic substrate12, and the stereoscopic printing layer is a film formed by a3D printing process, and can effectively connect the first ceramic substrate11and the second ceramic substrate12to avoid separation of the first ceramic substrate11from the second ceramic substrate12.

In some optional embodiments, at least one surface of the ceramic substrate1is provided with a pattern layer to display patterns or text information, and the orthogonal projection of the pattern layer on the identification card does not overlap with the orthogonal projection of the marking joint part2on the identification card. Specifically, the pattern layer is formed on the surface of the ceramic substrate1by one of firing glaze, electroplating and photoetching; or, a patterned groove formed by laser engraving is arranged on the surface of the ceramic substrate1, and an ink layer is arranged in the patterned groove to form a pattern layer together. The ceramic substrate1is made of ceramic material. The ceramic raw materials are melted at high temperature and injected into a molding die, and then the accommodating part on the ceramic surface is preformed, or it can be obtained by machining.

In some optional embodiments, the ceramic substrate1comprises at least one of a metal oxide, a metal carbide, a metal boride, a metal nitride and a metal silicide, i.e., the ceramic substrate1may be made of only one of a metal oxide, a metal carbide, a metal boride, a metal nitride and a metal silicide, or may also be made of a mixture of a plurality of the above materials.
