Composite material has found wide application nowadays. For example, many objects or flat surfaces, such as boxes and walls of a building are made of different material with different touch feelings and qualities. However, most of the materials are too expensive for most consumers to use. Composite has the advantages of light weight, cheap and provides similar appearance and quality as the original materials.
To make the touch feeling and quality of the decorative material more similar to the original material, it requires a composite decorative material with micro 3D surface.
There are many conventional methods to make the composite material, among them, die forming is the oldest method. The die forming includes putting a 20 base material, plural decorative layers and adhesive agent into a metal mould, and then heating the mould with pressure to form the composite material.
However, the mould is made of hard metal, during molding, the decorative layers will be pressed into the base material, and after the composite material is formed, the two surfaces of the composite material will be smooth and flat rather than being three dimensional.
The present invention has arisen to mitigate and/or obviate the afore-described disadvantages.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
The present invention will be clearer from the following description when viewed together with the accompanying drawings, which show, for purpose of illustration only, the preferred embodiments in accordance with the present invention.
Referring to Figs. 1-2, a method for making a composite decorative material with micro 3D (three dimensional) surface in accordance with the present invention comprises the following steps: a step a of putting base material and decorative layer into a mould; a step b of applying adhesive agent between the base material and the decorative layer; a step c of providing a vacuum film; a step d of covering the outer surface of the decorative layer and the mould with the vacuum film; a step e of creating vacuum between the vacuum film and the decorative layer, and solidifying the decorative layer to form micro 3D structures on the surface of the decorative layer; and a step f of removing the vacuum film and demoulding.
The step b of applying adhesive agent between the base material and the decorative layer can be carried out by soaking the base material and the decorative layer in the adhesive agent and then putting them into the mould.
The step b can also be carried out by putting the base material and the decorative layer into the mould, and then injecting the adhesive agent into the mould, 5 so that the adhesive agent is applied between the base material and the decorative layer.
The step a includes providing a mould 10 which is connected to a vacuum pump 12, and putting the base material 13 and at least one decorative layer 14 into the mould 10, wherein the base material 13 is put into the mould before the decorative layer 14 is laid, or the decorative layer 14 is laid into the mould before the base material 13 is put.
The step b refers to applying the adhesive agent 15 between the base material 13 and the decorative layer 14.
The step d refers to covering the outer surface of the decorative layer 14 and 15 the mould 10 with the vacuum film 11, and forming an interior space 16 by pressing the peripheral edge of the vacuum film 11.
The step e includes using the vacuum pump 12 to evacuate the interior space 16 into a vacuum state, then solidifying and bonding the adhesive agent 15, the base material 13 and the decorative layer 14 by heating the mould 10, and the vacuuming process makes the decorative layer 14 and the base material 13 connected more tightly.
After that, the vacuum film 11 is removed, the final product is demoulded. The decorative layer 14 mentioned in the previous steps can be made of :5 carbon fiber, carat fiber, dyed fibers, mixed fiber or glass fiber.
The adhesive agent 15 mentioned in the previous steps can be made of thermosetting resin or thermoplastic resin.
As shown in Figs. 4-8, the composite decorative material with micro 3D surface in accordance with the present invention comprises: the base material 13, the at least one decorative layer 14 and the adhesive agent 15. The base material 13 is bonded to the decorative layer 14 by the adhesive agent 15. The decorative layer 14 is not a continuously flat structure, but is formed by irregularly arranged fibers, and includes a plurality of fiber portions 21 and hollow-out portions 22.
Figs. 5 and 6 show a first embodiment of present invention, there are two decorative layers 14 located at two sides of the base material 13. During the manufacturing process, one of the decorative layers 14 is located toward the mould 10 and defined as a lower decorative layer 31, and another of the decorative layers 14 is located toward the vacuum film 11 and defined as an upper decorative layer 32.
The interior space 16 defined by the vacuum film 11 is evacuated into a vacuum state, and the mould 10 is heated, so that the vacuum film 11 presses against the decorative layers 14 to enable the decorative layers 14 to be bonded to the base material 13 more tightly by the adhesive agent 15. During the vacuuming processing, the fiber portions 21 of the two decorative layers 14 are partially pressed into the base material 13 and deformed.
The vacuum film 11 is relatively soft, when the vacuum film 11 presses the upper decorative layer 32, the fiber portions 21 of the upper decorative layer 32 will just slightly deform, and only a small part of the fiber portions 21 will sink into the base material 13 and have no influence on the thickness of the base material 13. Since only a small part of the fiber portions 21 sinks into the base material 13, the fiber portions 21 of the decorative layer 32 partially protrude out of the base material 13, so as to form the micro 3D surface 40.
The lower decorative layer 31 is located toward the mould 10, and the mould 10 is harder than the vacuum film 11, so that the lower decorative layer 31 receives more pressing force than the upper decorative layer 32. Therefore, the fiber portions 21 of the lower decorative layer 31 deforms more and sinks deeper into the base material 13 than that of the upper decorative layer 32. Relatively, the fiber portions 21 of the lower decorative layer 31 protrudes less from the base material 13 than that of the upper decorative layer 32, and the height difference between the hollow-out portions 22 and the fiber portions 21 has been leveled up by the adhesive agent 15 to form a flat surface 41 on the lower decorative layer 31.
The fiber portions 21 of the lower decorative layer 31 sinks deeper into the base material 13 to force the lower decorative layer 31 to protrude toward the micro 3D surface 40, so that the base material 13 at the micro 3D surface 40 protrudes at a height with respect to the positions where the fiber portions 21 sink into the base material 13, which makes the micro 3D surface 40 more three dimensional.
Figs. 7 and 8 shows a show a second embodiment of present invention, there is one decorative layers 14 in this embodiment, which is located at one side of the base material 13 toward the vacuum film 11. During the manufacturing process, the interior space 16 defined by the vacuum film 11 is evacuated into a vacuum state, and the mould 10 is heated, so that the vacuum film 11 presses against the decorative layer 14 to enable the decorative layer 14 to be bonded to the base material 13 more tightly by the adhesive agent 15. During the vacuuming processing, the fiber portions 21 of the decorative layer 14 are partially pressed into the base material 13 and deformed.
The vacuum film 11 is relatively soft, when the vacuum film II presses the upper decorative layer 32, the fiber portions 21 of the decorative layer 14 will just slightly deform, and only a small part of the fiber portions 21 will sink into the base material 13 and have no influence on the thickness of the base material 13. Since only a small part of the fiber portions 21 sinks into the base material 13, the fiber portions 21 of the decorative layer 14 partially protrude out of the base material 13, so as to form the micro 3D surface 40.
It can be learned from the above description that the method of the present invention is capable of making a composite decorative material with a micro 3D surface 40 and a flat surface 41, without the problem that the outer surfaces of the conventional composite decorative material are flat and smooth.
While we have shown and described various embodiments in accordance with the present invention, it is clear to those skilled in the art that further embodiments may be made without departing from the scope of the present invention.
