The method of forming the patterned groove 130 in the first base material 110 or the second base material 120 may be performed by using an artificial method for engraving, using an automatic machine for hot pressing into a groove or a die grooving, and the like.

Incidentally, the foregoing patterned grooves 130 may have a single depth, or may be disposed to have different depths, so that the thickness ranges of the first base material 110 and the second base material 120 refer to the first base material. The average thickness of 110 and second binder 120 does not specifically refer to the thickness of a particular portion of first binder 110 and second binder 120.

Next, as shown in FIG. 1E, a light-emitting element 140 is provided, and a portion of the light-emitting element 140 is disposed in the patterning groove 130.

In another manner, a bare metal wire or an enameled wire may be selected as the wire 144, and the wire 144 is disposed independently of the fixed layer 142 (ie, the electrical contact between the end portion of the bare metal or enameled wire and the fixed layer 142). The wires are connected, and the body portion of the bare metal or enameled wire can be separated from the fixed layer 142).

Next, as shown in FIG. 1F, the first base material 110 is disposed with the side of the patterned groove 130 facing the second base material 120, and the side where the first base material 110 and the second base material 120 face each other is defined as the inner side. And the first base material 110 and the second base material 120 are fixed together by sewing, gluing, thermocompression or other suitable manner to form a light-emitting device. Ornament assembly 200. By forming the patterned groove 130 accommodating the light-emitting element 140 on the inner side of the fabric, the light-emitting element 140 no longer causes the outer surface of the light-emitting ornament assembly 200 to have unevenness and the outer surface of the light-emitting ornament assembly 200. To smooth the surface.

Referring to FIG. 1G, the sealing layer 150 may be further coated on the outer side of the second base material 120 to further surface the outer surface of the second base material 120, and the outer surface of the light-emitting decorative assembly 200 is further disposed. The surface may have a desired water repellent effect, a block of color representation, or a deliberate roughening of the outer surface. The material of the sealing layer 150 can be selected according to requirements. In addition, the sealing layer 150 may further have a light guiding element to affect the light emitted by the LED 146, refract or reflect the light, and change the direction of the light emitted by the LED 146, wherein the light guiding element may The light guide particles 152 are placed in the sealing layer 150, or a microstructure (not shown) such as a strip, a diamond, a circle, a square, or the like is formed on the surface of the sealing layer 150, and the light guiding element is used. To achieve the purpose of concentrating or astigmatism.

The sealing film layer 150 may be sealed on the outer side of the second base material 120 after the light-emitting ornament assembly 200 is formed, or may be previously prepared before the step of providing the second base material 120 in FIG. 1A. The material 120 is subjected to a film sealing treatment. In other words, the sealing film layer 150 can simultaneously cover the inside and the outside of the second base material 120.

In addition, referring also to FIG. 1G, in order to increase the comfort of the user when wearing or to increase the softness of the illuminating ornament assembly 200, the outer side of the first base material 110 (relative to the inner side of the first base material 110) The buffer layer 160 is disposed on one side, wherein the material of the buffer layer 160 is, for example, foam.

The aforementioned illuminating ornament assembly 200 formed by the method of forming a luminescent decorative article assembly can be applied to textiles such as clothing, shoes, bags, or home furnishings. 4 is a schematic view showing the structural configuration of a lighting ornament assembly applied to a footwear product. Referring to FIG. 4 , the illuminating ornament assembly 200 is applied to the sneaker as an example. The illuminating ornament assembly 200 can be placed on the toe of the sneaker, the inner waist of the shoe, the outer waist of the shoe, the tongue or the back cover of the shoe. At the office. In order to provide power to the light-emitting elements 140 in the illuminating fabric, the power shoe may be further provided with a power supply unit (not shown), the power supply unit is independent of the light-emitting ornament assembly 200, and the wire 144 is connected to the power supply unit. The power provided by the power supply unit can be supplied to the light-emitting diode 146 through the wire 144 to cause the light-emitting diode 146 to emit light.

In detail, the power supply unit (not shown) includes a battery (not shown), a controller (not shown), and another wire (not shown). The wires of the power supply unit are electrically connected to the wires 144 of the light-emitting elements 140 of the illuminating ornament assembly 200. When the power supply unit is in operation, the power provided by the battery is transmitted to the light-emitting element 140 via the wires of the power supply unit and the wires 144, and the light-emitting diode 146 emits light, so that the light-emitting decorative assembly 200 of the sports shoe is illuminated. In addition, the controller can control the light emission or non-light emission of the light emitting diode 146 through the circuit design to achieve a variable effect of the light emitting pattern.

In particular, since the outer surface of the illuminating decorative assembly 200 is a smooth surface, the illuminating effect of the illuminating decorative assembly 200 caused by the illuminating of the illuminating diode 146 is in accordance with expectations, and the illuminating decoration due to the illuminating element 140 can be reduced. The refraction, reflection or diffusion of light caused by the unevenness of the outer surface of the object assembly 200 does not conform to the expected brightening effect, so that the viewer can more clearly distinguish the outline of the light-emitting block.

In summary, the method for forming a luminescent decorative article assembly of the present invention and the illuminating decorative object assembly produced by the method utilize a patterned concave in the first base material and/or the second base material.
