An information identification part is provided in the accommodating slot of the ceramic substrate 1, the orthographic projections of the chip part 2 and the information marking part 3 of the information identification part on the ceramic substrate 1 do not overlap to avoid mutual interference, and in the thickness direction of the identification card, the upper surface of the chip part 2 does not protrude from the opening of the accommodating slot of the chip part 2, that is, the chip part 2 does not protrude from the surface of the ceramic substrate 1, so as to prevent the chip part 2 from being worn and damaged. In addition, the ceramic substrate 1 is formed of zirconia powder with high hardness, high density, and tight structure, which can further enhance the bending and wear resistance of the identification card, and increase the service life of the identification card.

It should be noted that ultraviolet color printing, namely, UV (Ultra-Violet Ray) color printing process, must first ensure the cleanliness of the ceramic substrate 1, and coat the surface of the ceramic substrate 1 (increase the adhesion of the ink), select the high-definition picture on the computer, use the typesetting software to arrange the picture, fix the position of the ceramic substrate 1 on the printer, start the printer, and wait for the printing work to be completed. If one need to print the embossment effect, he/she needs to use a universal printer for white ink accumulation, and then use a UV printer to apply color ink; or combine with an engraving machine, first use the engraving machine to engrave the embossment effect on the surface of the ceramic substrate 1, and then use the UV printer for coloring processing.
In the laser inkjet printing process, the ceramic substrate 1 needs to be cleaned, and the surface of the ceramic substrate 1 needs to be coated (coating materials are varnish, diluent, and curing agent prepared in a certain proportion), and the surface of the ceramic substrate 1 is printed at a certain temperature, and after the printing is completed, it is allowed to stand for a period of time (the ambient temperature at the time determines the standing time) and then is baked at a low temperature.
In the ceramic offset printing process, it is also necessary to ensure that the ceramic substrate 1 is clean, the surface of the ceramic substrate 1 is coated, and the printing consumables are processed (selection and allocation of ink, preparation of fountain solution), and printing is performed, and it is dried at a room temperature.
Optionally, the zirconia powder is yttrium stabilized zirconia. It should be noted that there are three crystal forms of zirconia at room temperature, monoclinic, tetragonal and cubic. In order to stabilize zirconia in the cubic crystal form and increase heat resistance, some stabilizers need to be added. Yttrium stabilized zirconia specifically refers to zirconia with yttrium oxide as a stabilizer.

S130: fixing an information identification part, and setting the information identification part in the accommodating slot, herein, the orthographic projections of the chip part 2 and the information marking part 3 of the information identification part on the ceramic substrate 1 do not overlap, and in the thickness direction of the identification card, the chip part 2 has a lower surface and an upper surface opposite to each other, the lower surface faces the bottom surface of the accommodating slot of the chip part 2 and the upper surface does not protrude from the opening of the accommodating slot for accommodating the chip part 2.
In step S110, an anti-fingerprint film 4 is provided on the surface of the main body of the ceramic substrate 1.

In step S120, the forming of accommodating slot may be formed by numerical control machine tool such as numerical control milling machine or numerical control drilling machine. Specifically, the ceramic substrate 1 manufactured from zirconia powder is first cut to a certain shape by the numerical control milling machine and then further trimmed; the trimmed ceramic is drilled with holes in a certain size by the numerical control drilling machine; the drilled ceramics are sequentially rough polished and fine polished by polishing equipment; the polished ceramic surfaces are coated with a film layer by the screen printing machine; and the coated ceramic surfaces are processed with the anti-fingerprint film 4.
The identification card manufacturing method provided by the embodiment of the present invention manufactures the ceramic substrate 1 from zirconia powder, which has high structural strength and is not easily deformed. An anti-fingerprint film 4 is provided on each surface of the ceramic substrate 1 to avoid leaving fingerprints on the surface of the ceramic substrate 1 during use.
In some optional embodiments, manufacturing the ceramic substrate 1 from zirconia powder includes: sequentially dissolving an organic monomer and a crosslinking agent in distilled water, adding an appropriate amount of dispersant to manufacture a premixed liquid; adding zirconia powder into the premixed liquid to obtain a slurry; adding initiator and catalyst into the slurry to form a gel structure; and curing the gel structure by a steel mold and then sintering and forming it to form a ceramic substrate 1.
It should be noted that the organic monomer may be acrylamide CH3CONH2, abbreviated as AM, and the crosslinking agent may be methylene bisacrylamide C7H10N202, abbreviated as MBAM; initiator: ammonium persulfate (NH4) 2S208, abbreviated as APS; and Catalyst: Tetramethylethylenediamine C6H16N2, abbreviated as TEMED.
Herein, the ratio of the distilled water to the organic monomer to the crosslinking agent to the dispersant is 43:9.5 ~ 10.3:0.5:6.8 ~ 8.1 (the actual amount of water added needs to be changed according to the quality of the zirconia powder used). In the step of adding zirconia powder into the premixed liquid to obtain a slurry: the ratio of the zirconia powder to the premixed liquid is 3.8:1 to 6.5:1, and the actual ratio needs to be determined based on the amount of distilled water in the premixed liquid used, and the distilled water is deionized water. The initiator and catalyst have an important influence on the curing time of the slurry gel. The curing time will decrease, and when the initiator is added in the range of 0.2 ~ 1.0%, the catalyst is added in the range of 0.5 ~ 1.0%, the decreasing range is 45 mins ~ 13 mins.
In some optional embodiments, the zirconia powder includes zirconia, hafnium dioxide, silicon dioxide, and iron oxide mixed in a preset ratio, and yttrium oxide can also be mixed. The specific ratio is shown in the following table 1. Table 1 is a mass percentage table of each component of zirconia powder.

The ratio of distilled water to organic monomer to crosslinking agent to dispersant is 43:9.5:0.5:6.8, while the ratio of zirconia powder to premixed liquid is 3.8:1, and the amount of initiator added is 0.2%, the amount of catalyst added is 0.5%, and the condensed ceramics are cured at 60° C. for 10 minutes and then are sintered and formed.
In another embodiment of the component of zirconia powder, the mass percentage of zirconia is 95%, the mass percentage of hafnium dioxide is 5%, the mass percentage of silicon dioxide is 0%, and the mass percentage of iron oxide is 0%, and the mass percentages of others are 0%. The ratio of distilled water to organic monomer to crosslinking agent to dispersant is 43:10.3:0.5:8.1, while the ratio of zirconia powder to premixed liquid is 6.5:1, the amount of initiator added is 1.0%, and the amount of catalyst added is 1.0%, the condensed ceramics are cured at 70° C. for 20 minutes and then are sintered and formed.
Identification cards in different color need to be processed differently. For example, the formed ceramic substrate 1 needs to be carburized and blackened when manufacturing a black identification card by: placing the ceramic substrate 1 and black carbon powder in a vacuum furnace, starting heating after the vacuum pumping to a certain pressure, rising temperature at a certain rate, performing high-temperature carburizing at about 1500° C., and then cooling to room temperature with the furnace, ultrasonic cleaning in alcohol to remove the impurities adhering on the surface, and then baking to obtain black zirconia ceramic flakes. Optionally, the condensed ceramic substrate 1 is cured at 60° C. to 70° C. for 10 to 20 minutes and then is sintered and formed.
The above are only specific implementations of the invention.
