Detailed Implementation

[0022] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments. The present invention will be described in one embodiment below with reference to specific embodiments. The accompanying drawings are for illustrative purposes only and represent schematic diagrams, not actual pictures, and should not be construed as limiting the present patent. In order to better illustrate the embodiments of the present invention, some parts of the drawings may be omitted, enlarged, or reduced, and do not represent the actual product size. It is understandable to those skilled in the art that some well-known structures and their descriptions may be omitted in the drawings.

[0023] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a portable device for insulating tape, including a box and a cutting assembly 5. The box includes a snap-fit ​​upper cover 1 and a lower shell 2. The side wall 520 of the lower shell 2 has an opening. The insulating tape is stored in the box, and the starting end of the insulating tape extends out from the opening. The cutting assembly 5 includes a cutting seat, a pressing part 550 and a cutting blade 560. The cutting seat is installed on the side wall 520 of the lower shell 2. The pressing part 550 is slidably connected to the cutting seat. The cutting blade 560 is connected to the pressing part 550. A cutting space is provided between the cutting blade 560 and the cutting seat. The starting end of the insulating tape extending out from the opening is placed in the cutting space.

[0024] The box body is a separate structure of upper cover 1 and lower shell 2, which facilitates the replacement of insulating tape. In this embodiment, the box body is preferably designed as a cylindrical structure, with the axis of the insulating tape parallel to the axis of the cylindrical structure of the box body. The radius of the bottom surface of the cylindrical structure is slightly larger than the radius of a roll of brand-new insulating tape, and the height is slightly larger than the width of the insulating tape. The size is moderate and easy to carry. The box body is designed as a transparent structure, which can distinguish the color of the insulating tape inside the box, which is helpful for operators to distinguish the color and remaining amount of insulating tape available for each phase conductor. In addition, a latch 3 is provided between the upper cover 1 and the lower shell 2, which facilitates flexible control of the opening and closing of the upper cover 1 and the lower shell 2. Furthermore, the side wall 520 of the lower shell 2 is provided with an opening, through which the insulating tape inside the lower shell 2 can extend.

[0025] In this embodiment, the cutting component 5 is used to press and cut the insulating tape. The operation is simple and convenient. The cutting seat is fixed on the side wall 520 of the lower shell 2. The pressing part 550 is slidably connected to the cutting seat. There is a gap between the pressing part 550 and the bottom surface of the cutting seat. The pressing part 550 can move toward the side wall 520 of the lower shell 2. The cutting blade 560 is installed within the gap. By actuating the pressing part 550, the cutting blade 560 is driven to move toward the bottom surface of the cutting seat. A cutting space is formed between the cutting blade 560 and the cutting seat. The insulating tape extends out of the opening and is placed in the cutting space. The cutting blade 560 moves toward the insulating tape and cuts the insulating tape.

[0026] Compared to existing technologies, the portable insulating tape device provided by this invention allows operators to directly cut the insulating tape using the cutting component 5 on the box. The insulating tape is placed inside the box, with its starting end extending from the opening on the side wall 520 of the lower shell 2. This starting end is then placed in the cutting space between the cutting blade 560 and the cutting seat. By pressing the pressing part 550, the operator moves the cutting blade 560 towards the insulating tape, directly cutting it. This eliminates the need for additional cutting tools, improving cutting efficiency. It also reduces the need for manual tearing, minimizing tape deformation, improving the wrapping effect, and preventing glove lint from sticking to the insulating tape, thus enhancing insulation.

[0027] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, in order to facilitate the cutting of insulating tape, in this embodiment, the cutting seat includes a base 510 and two side walls 520. The base 510 is connected to the side walls 520 of the lower shell 2. The two side walls 520 are spaced apart on the base 510. The pressing part 550 is slidably disposed between the two side walls 520. The cutting blade 560 faces the base 510.

[0028] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the base 510 of the cutting seat and the two side walls 520 form a U-shaped structure. The pressing part 550 is slidably installed on the two side walls 520, which is equivalent to the pressing part 550 being slidably installed at the opening of the U-shaped structure. The cutting blade 560 faces the cutting base 510. There is a cutting space between the cutting blade 560 and the cutting base 510. When the pressing part 550 is not pressed, the cutting blade 560 is separated from the base 510, which makes it easy to pull the insulating tape to adjust the length. After the pressing part 550 is pressed, the cutting blade 560 and the base 510 close together, cutting the insulating tape.

[0029] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2As shown, in order to facilitate flexible pressing of the pressing part 550, in this embodiment, sliding grooves 530 are provided on the two side walls 520 respectively, and the two ends of the pressing part 550 are respectively set in the sliding grooves 530. A connecting spring 622540 is provided between the pressing surface of the pressing part 550 and the side wall 520 of the sliding groove 530.

[0030] It should be noted that when the pressing part 550 is not pressed, the connecting spring 622540 is at its natural length, which separates the cutting blade 560 from the base 510, making it easy to pull the insulating tape to adjust its length. After the pressing part 550 is pressed, the connecting spring 622540 is in a stretched state, the cutting blade 560 and the base 510 are closed, and the insulating tape is cut. After the pressing part 550 is released, the connecting spring 622540 can return to its original shape, the cutting blade 560 is reset, and the insulating tape can be pulled again.

[0031] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, in order to receive the cutting blade 560 and facilitate the cutting blade 560 to cut the insulating tape, the base 510 is provided with a cutting table 570 facing the cutting blade 560.

[0032] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the cutting table 570 is an elliptical cylinder. When pulling the insulating tape, the starting end of the insulating tape is placed on the elliptical cylinder, and the cutting blade 560 can abut against the cutting table 570, which is conducive to cutting the insulating tape.

[0033] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, to prevent the insulating tape from shaking inside the box, positioning posts 4 are provided inside the upper cover 1 and the lower shell 2 respectively.

[0034] It should be noted that the insulating tape is sleeved on the positioning post 4, and both the upper cover 1 and the lower shell 2 are provided with corresponding positioning posts 4 to prevent the insulating tape from shifting during use.

[0035] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3 As shown, in order to facilitate the insulation tape to extend out of the opening again after the insulation tape is cut, a pushing component 6 is provided inside the lower shell 2 in this embodiment.

[0036] The push assembly 6 includes a handle, a first drive part 630, a second drive part 640, and a spring structure 650. The side wall 520 of the lower shell 2 is provided with a mounting hole. The handle is rotatably disposed in the mounting hole. The end of the handle located inside the lower shell 2 is connected to the first drive part 630. The second drive part 640 is sleeved on the positioning post 4 inside the lower shell 2. The first drive part 630 and the second drive part 640 abut against each other. One end of the spring structure 650 is fixed to the positioning post 4 inside the lower shell 2, and the other end of the spring structure 650 is fixed to the second drive part 640. Insulating tape covers the second drive part 640.

[0037] It should be noted that without the push component 6, after cutting the insulating tape, the operator needs to manually reach into the box to pull the insulating tape out again. To prevent the cutting blade 560 from accidentally injuring the hand and to improve the cutting efficiency of the insulating tape, this embodiment provides a push component 6 on the side wall 520 of the lower shell 2. When the operator turns the handle, the handle drives the spring structure 650 to store power through the first drive part 630 and the second drive part 640. After releasing the handle, the spring structure 650 can drive the second drive part 640 to rotate at a certain angle, thereby driving the insulating tape on the second drive part 640 to rotate, so that the starting end of the insulating tape extends out of the opening again, which is convenient to place the starting end of the insulating tape back into the cutting space. The operator can then press the pressing part 550 to cut again, which is convenient and quick. In this embodiment, the first drive part 630 and the second drive part 640 are preferably designed as a bevel gear set.

[0038] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, in order to also have the function of voltage testing, the handle is preferably designed as a voltage tester structure.

[0039] It should be noted that, during operation, in order to verify whether the insulating tape has achieved the desired insulation effect after use, this embodiment also incorporates a handle-based voltage testing function, referencing a screwdriver-type voltage tester. The handle includes a housing 610 and a voltage testing structure 620. The first drive unit 630 is connected to the housing 610, and the voltage testing structure 620 is installed inside the housing 610. The voltage testing structure 620 includes a metal end cap 621, a spring 622, a neon tube 623, a resistor 624, and a probe 625 connected in sequence. During voltage testing, the voltage testing structure 620 is used to contact the object being tested. The housing 610 of the handle has a metal contact point for the human body. By observing whether the voltage testing structure 620 emits light as a whole, it can be determined whether the object being tested is charged after the insulating tape has been used, which helps to improve the insulation detection effect.

[0040] Working principle:

[0041] This invention provides a portable device for insulating tape. Operators can directly cut the insulating tape using a cutting component 5 mounted on the box. The insulating tape is placed inside the box, with its starting end extending from an opening on the side wall 520 of the lower shell 2. This starting end is then placed in the cutting space between the cutting blade 560 and the cutting seat. By pressing the pressing part 550, the operator moves the cutting blade 560 towards the insulating tape, directly cutting it. The cut insulating tape includes wires. By rotating the handle, the operator uses the spring structure 650 to allow the starting end of the insulating tape inside the box to extend out from the opening again, placing it within the cutting space. Pressing the pressing part 550 again will cause the cutting head to cut the insulating tape again.
