The use of "first" or "second" is solely for the purpose of distinguishing technical features and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance, or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features, or implicitly indicating the order of the indicated technical features.

[0047] In the description of the present invention, unless otherwise clearly defined, terms such as setting, installing, and connecting should be understood in a broad sense, and technicians in the relevant technical field can reasonably determine the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention based on the specific content of the technical solution.

[0048] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a film-applying device according to an embodiment of the present invention is used to assist a user in applying a film to the screen of an electronic device 500. The film-applying device according to the embodiment of the present invention includes a positioning mechanism and a film assembly 400. The positioning mechanism is used to assist in positioning the screen of the electronic device 500 before applying the film. The film assembly 400 includes a protective film 420 for being attached to the screen of the electronic device 500. It is understandable that the electronic device 500 includes but is not limited to mobile phones, tablet computers, etc. In addition to being used to apply a film to the screen of the electronic device 500, the film-applying device according to the embodiment of the present invention can also be used to apply a film to locations such as the back cover of the electronic device 500, which is not specifically limited here.

[0049] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the positioning mechanism of the embodiment of the present invention includes a first mounting base 100, a second mounting base 200 and an elastic element 300. The first mounting base 100 is provided with a first groove 110, which can be used to accommodate the electronic device 500. A first wall 120 is provided on one side of the first groove 110. The second mounting base 200 is configured to move in a direction close to or away from the first wall 120, that is, along Figure 2 Of course, the first mounting seat 100 and the second mounting seat 200 can also be designed to move along Figure 2 In order to facilitate the understanding of the embodiments of the present invention, the following description will be made by taking the direction in which the second mounting seat 200 approaches or moves away from the first wall 120 as the front-to-back direction. The second mounting seat 200 is provided with a second wall 220 arranged opposite to the first wall 120, and the first wall 120 and the second wall 220 are arranged relative to each other along the direction in which the second mounting seat 200 approaches or moves away from the first mounting seat 100. The elastic element 300 is configured to provide an elastic force that brings the first wall 120 and the second wall 220 closer to each other. It is understandable that the elastic element 300 can be installed on the first mounting seat 100 and the second mounting seat 200 to provide an elastic force along the front-to-back direction, and the elastic force enables the first mounting seat 100 and the second mounting seat 200 to approach each other, so that the first wall 120 and the second wall 220 have a pre-tightening force that brings them closer to each other.

[0050] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, in a positioning mechanism according to an embodiment of the present invention, the second mounting base 200 is further provided with a second groove 210. The first groove 110 and the second groove 210 are connected to form a receiving chamber for accommodating the electronic device 500. The first wall 120 and the second wall 220 are respectively located on either side of the receiving chamber in the front-to-back direction. Under the action of the elastic element 300, the receiving chamber can extend between the first wall 120 and the second wall 220, thereby adapting to the front-to-back dimensions of the electronic device 500. Specifically, the first wall 120 and the second wall 220 are respectively used to abut against two opposing side walls of the electronic device 500. During actual use, the user can first press one of the front side walls or the rear side walls of the electronic device 500 against the first wall 120 or the second wall 220, and then press the electronic device 500 inward to make the other side wall open the accommodating cavity, and finally place the electronic device 500 as a whole into the accommodating cavity and clamp it simultaneously by the first wall 120 and the second wall 220; the user can also first manually move the first mounting seat 100 and the second mounting seat 200 in directions away from each other to open the accommodating cavity, and then place the electronic device 500 into the accommodating cavity, and finally release the hand until the first wall 120 and the second wall 220 clamp the electronic device 500.

[0051] Reference Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, in another embodiment of the positioning mechanism of the present invention, a second mounting seat 200 is movably disposed within the first groove 110. The first groove 110 forms a separate accommodating cavity. The second mounting seat 200 has a second wall 220 on the side facing the first wall 120. The second wall 220 moves toward or away from the first wall 120. Under the action of the elastic element 300, the accommodating cavity can extend between the first wall 120 and the second wall 220, thereby adapting to the front-to-back dimensions of the electronic device 500.

[0052] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 12 As shown, the first wall 120 of the above two embodiments is provided with an arc portion 130, and the arc portion 130 is configured to center the electronic device 500 in the first groove 110 in a direction perpendicular to the moving direction of the second mounting seat 200. It can be understood that the arc portion 130 can center the electronic device 500 along the first groove 110. Figure 3 and Figure 12The arcuate portion 130 can be arranged to be bilaterally symmetrical relative to the centerline L1 of the first wall 120. The centerline L1 of the first wall 120 can also be understood as the centerline of the accommodating cavity in the left-right direction. Specifically, the arcuate portion 130 can be a continuous arcuate segment that is bilaterally symmetrical relative to the centerline L1 of the first wall 120. Alternatively, the arcuate portion 130 can be composed of at least two connected or spaced arcuate segments, with at least two arcuate segments being bilaterally symmetrical relative to the centerline L1 of the first wall 120.

[0053] The positioning mechanism of the embodiment of the present invention is provided with an arc-shaped portion 130. When the first wall 120 and the second wall 220 approach each other in the front-to-back direction under the action of elastic force and clamp the electronic device 500, the second wall 220 pushes the electronic device 500 into contact with the arc-shaped portion 130 and is centrally arranged in the accommodating cavity in the left-right direction under the guidance of the arc-shaped portion 130, thereby positioning the electronic device 500 in the positioning mechanism. Compared with the traditional technology that adopts two directions for clamping and positioning, the positioning mechanism of this embodiment only needs to adopt a single direction (front-to-back direction or left-to-right direction) to clamp and position the electronic device 500, so as to achieve fast and accurate positioning of the electronic device 500, with a simpler structure and more convenient operation. It can also be applied to the positioning of electronic devices 500 of different sizes and shapes.

[0054] It is understandable that, as another implementation, the arc portion 130 of the above embodiment can also be set on the second wall 220, which can also enable the electronic device 500 to be centered in the accommodating cavity along the left and right directions, thereby achieving accurate positioning of the electronic device 500.

[0055] It can be understood that, as another embodiment, the first wall 120 and the second wall 220 are both provided with an arc-shaped portion 130, and the arc-shaped portion 130 of the first wall 120 and the arc-shaped portion 130 of the second wall 220 are both configured to be symmetrical with respect to the center line L1 of the first wall 120. The specific structure of the arc-shaped portion 130 of the first wall 120 can be the same as or different from the specific structure of the arc-shaped portion 130 of the second wall 220, as long as the electronic device 500 can be centered in the left and right directions.

[0056] Reference Figure 3As shown, it can be understood that the curved portion 130 includes a continuous first curved surface 131 that spans the left and right sides of the first wall 120. The first curved surface 131 is bilaterally symmetrical, meaning that the left and right portions of the first curved surface 131 are symmetrical relative to the centerline L1 of the first wall 120. The portion of the first curved surface 131 to the left of the centerline L1 of the first wall 120 aligns with the left front corner of the electronic device 500, while the portion of the first curved surface 131 to the right of the centerline L1 of the first wall 120 aligns with the right front corner of the electronic device 500. Therefore, the curved portion 130, with this structure, guides the left and right front corners of the electronic device 500, respectively, centering the electronic device 500 toward the center of the accommodating cavity. This smoother guidance of the electronic device 500 by the curved portion 130 provides a more stable structure, facilitates demolding, and increases yield rate, while reducing production costs.

[0057] Reference Figure 4 As shown, the arcuate portion 130 of another embodiment of the present invention includes two sections of second arcuate surfaces 132, and the two sections of second arcuate surfaces 132 are connected. The two sections of the second arcuate surfaces 132 are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the center line L1 of the first wall surface 120. The second arcuate surface 132 located on the left side of the first wall surface 120 and the second arcuate surface 132 located on the right side of the first wall surface 120 are symmetrically arranged relative to the center line L1 of the first wall surface 120. Therefore, one section of the second arcuate surface 132 guides the left front corner of the electronic device 500, and the other section of the second arcuate surface 132 guides the right front corner of the electronic device 500, so that the electronic device 500 is centered in the accommodating cavity, and the positioning mechanism accurately positions the electronic device 500.

[0058] Reference Figure 5 As shown, the arcuate portion 130 of another embodiment of the present invention includes two spaced-apart third arcuate surfaces 133, and the two third arcuate surfaces 133 are connected by a connecting surface 134. The two third arcuate surfaces 133 are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the center line L1 of the first wall surface 120. The connecting surface 134 can be a plane or an arcuate surface, which is not specifically limited here; the left and right ends of the connecting surface 134 are respectively connected to one end of the third arcuate surface 133. The working principle of the third arcuate surface 133 is basically the same as that of the second arcuate surface 132, and can be appropriately understood by referring to the embodiment of the second arcuate surface 132. To avoid repetition, it is not described here.

[0059] Reference Figure 3 、 Figure 6 、 Figure 11 and Figure 12As shown, in the positioning mechanism of an embodiment of the present invention, the first wall surface 120 is provided with the arcuate portion 130, and the second wall surface 220 is a plane. It is understood that by setting the second wall surface 220 as a plane, the contact area between the second wall surface 220 and the electronic device 500 is increased. The second wall surface 220 can contact the entire rear end wall of the electronic device 500 and push the front end wall of the electronic device 500 to cooperate with the arcuate portion 130, thereby improving the stability of the electronic device 500 during the entire centering process. Moreover, when the electronic device 500 is guided by the arcuate portion 130 and slidably adjusted in the left and right directions, it is more stable and less likely to deflect. This improves the success rate of the electronic device 500 in a single positioning, and enhances the user experience.

[0060] Reference Figure 6 and Figure 11 As shown, it can be understood that the first mounting base 100 is provided with first positioning members 140 located on both sides of the first groove 110 in a direction perpendicular to the movement direction of the second mounting base 200, and the second mounting base 200 is provided with two second positioning members 240, which respectively slidably cooperate with the two first positioning members 140. Therefore, the cooperation structure of the first positioning members 140 and the second positioning members 240 improves the sliding stability of the first mounting base 100 and the second mounting base 200, thereby improving the guiding and positioning effect of the first wall surface 120 and the second wall surface 220 on the electronic device 500, and improving the positioning accuracy of the positioning mechanism.

[0061] Reference Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, the two first positioning members 140 are each provided with a first guide block 141. The first guide block 141 is formed by an upward protrusion from the bottom wall of the first mounting base 100. As one embodiment, the first guide block 141 can be located at the end of the first positioning member 140 away from the first wall 120. As another embodiment, the first guide block 141 can also be located in the middle of the first positioning member 140.

[0062] Reference Figure 8 and Figure 9As shown, it can be understood that the second mounting base 200 is provided with a second positioning member 240 in the left-right direction, two of which extend in the front-to-back direction, with the second groove 210 located between the two second positioning members 240. Both second positioning members 240 are provided with a third guide groove 241, with the notches of the third guide grooves 241 facing downward. The two first guide blocks 141 are respectively slidably disposed within the corresponding third guide grooves 241. The sliding fit structure of the first guide blocks 141 and the third guide grooves 241 can constrain the left-right freedom of the first mounting base 100 and the second mounting base 200, thereby improving the sliding stability of the first mounting base 100 and the second mounting base 200. This further improves the guiding and positioning effect of the first wall 120 and the second wall 220 on the electronic device 500, thereby improving the positioning accuracy of the positioning mechanism. Furthermore, assembly of the first mounting base 100 and the second mounting base 200 is more convenient and quick, thereby improving assembly efficiency.

[0063] Reference Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown, it can be understood that end walls 242 are provided at both ends of the third guide slot 241 in the front-to-back direction, and the two end walls 242 are provided at both ends of the second positioning member 240. The two end walls 242 respectively restrict the first guide block 141 from moving forward and backward out of the third guide slot 241. Therefore, the end walls 242 can limit the relative position of the first mounting seat 100 and the second mounting seat 200, thereby preventing the first mounting seat 100 and the second mounting seat 200 from separating during use of the positioning mechanism, thereby improving the stability of the positioning mechanism and also enhancing the connection stability between the first mounting seat 100 and the second mounting seat 200.

[0064] Reference Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, it can be understood that the first bottom wall 150 of the first groove 110 is provided with a fourth guide groove 151, and the second bottom wall 250 of the second groove 210 is provided with a first protrusion 251 protruding toward one side of the first bottom wall 150, and the first protrusion 251 is slidably matched with the fourth guide groove 151, thereby restricting the sliding of the first bottom wall 150 and the second bottom wall 250, further improving the stability of the first mounting seat 100 and the second mounting seat 200 when sliding relative to each other.

[0065] Reference Figure 6 、 Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, it can be understood that a third groove 252 is formed on the side of the first protrusion 251 facing away from the first bottom wall 150. The third groove 252 is formed by the second bottom wall 250 protruding toward the first bottom wall 150. The elastic element 300 is disposed in the third groove 252, so that the elastic element 300 does not interfere with the electronic device 500 during deformation or movement, making the layout of the elastic element 300 more reasonable and improving space utilization.

[0066] In a positioning mechanism of an embodiment of the present invention, the first bottom wall 150 is provided with a first hook 152, the second bottom wall 250 is provided with a second hook 253, the elastic element 300 is a rubber band, the two ends 310 of the rubber band are bent and deformed and hung on the first hook 152 and the second hook 253 respectively, the middle part of the rubber band is embedded in the third groove 252, and the depth of the third groove 252 can be set to be greater than the thickness of the rubber band, so that the rubber band will not interfere with the electronic device 500 when stretched or retracted.

[0067] The elastic element 300 of the positioning mechanism of another embodiment of the present invention is a rubber band, and the two end portions 310 of the rubber band are respectively hung on the first hook 152 and the second hook 253, and the middle portion of the rubber band is located below the first bottom wall 150 and the second bottom wall 250, so that the rubber band will not interfere with the electronic device 500 when stretched or retracted, making the layout of the elastic element 300 more reasonable and the space utilization rate higher.

[0068] In another embodiment of the positioning mechanism of the present invention, the first bottom wall 150 of the first groove 110 is provided with a second protrusion, and the second bottom wall 250 of the second groove 210 forms a fifth guide groove on the side facing the first bottom wall 150, wherein the fifth guide groove slidably engages with the second protrusion. The second protrusion forms a fourth groove on the side facing away from the second bottom wall 250. The first bottom wall 150 is provided with a first hook 152, and the second bottom wall 250 is provided with a second hook 253. The elastic element 300 is a rubber band, which is disposed in the fourth groove and has its ends respectively attached to the first hook 152 and the second hook 253. This embodiment can also achieve the effect of improving the sliding stability of the first mounting base 100 and the second mounting base 200.

[0069] Reference Figure 11 and Figure 12As shown, in another embodiment of the present invention, the first positioning member 140 is provided with a first guide groove 142. The first guide groove 142 is located on the side of the first positioning member 140 facing the first groove 110. Specifically, the first guide groove 142 is provided on the right side of the first positioning member 140 on the left side, and on the left side of the first positioning member 140 on the right side. The two first guide grooves 142 extend along the movement direction of the second mounting base 200. Second guide blocks 244 are provided on the left and right sides of the second positioning member 240, respectively, and are inserted into the corresponding first guide grooves 142. The cooperation between the second guide blocks 244 and the first guide grooves 142 improves the stability of the second mounting base 200 when sliding relative to the first mounting base 100, thereby enhancing the guidance and positioning of the electronic device 500 by the first wall 120 and the second wall 220, and improving the positioning accuracy of the positioning mechanism. Furthermore, assembly of the first mounting base 100 and the second mounting base 200 is more convenient and quick, improving assembly efficiency.

[0070] In order to enable the second mounting seat 200 to slide stably in the direction close to or away from the first mounting seat 100, the elastic element 300 is a spring, one end of which is fixedly connected to the first positioning member 140, and the other end is fixedly connected to the second guide block 244. The spring can be built into the first positioning member 140, or it can be externally placed on the first positioning member 140 or the first bottom wall 150 of the first groove 110, which is not further specified here.

[0071] Reference Figure 1 As shown, the film-applying device of an embodiment of the present invention includes the positioning mechanism of the above embodiment and a film assembly 400. The film assembly 400 is detachably connected to the positioning mechanism. Therefore, when applying a film to an electronic device 500, the user can first place the electronic device 500 into the positioning mechanism for positioning, and then install the film assembly 400, making the operation more convenient.

[0072] Since the film sticking device adopts all the technical solutions of the positioning mechanism of the above embodiment, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought by the technical solutions of the above embodiment, which will not be described in detail here.

[0073] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, it can be understood that a first edge 160 is provided on one side of the first mounting seat 100 close to the first wall 120 , and the first edge 160 is provided with a first positioning boss 161 , which is formed by protruding upward from the upper surface of the first edge 160 .

[0074] Reference Figure 13 and Figure 14As shown, the diaphragm assembly 400 includes a positioning film 410, a protective film 420, a release film 430 and a traction film 440. The protective film 420 is a protective component that is finally attached to the screen of the electronic device 500. The protective film 420 can be made of plastic or glass. Depending on its function, the protective film 420 can be an explosion-proof film, a peep-proof film, a writing film, etc. One side of the protective film 420 is coated with glue. The side coated with glue is the side of the protective film 420 facing the electronic device 500, and is also the side facing the positioning mechanism. The release film 430 is connected to the side of the protective film 420 coated with glue, and the release film 430 covers the entire protective film 420. The positioning film 410 is connected to the side of the protective film 420 that is not coated with glue, that is, the side of the protective film 420 facing away from the positioning mechanism.

[0075] The positioning film 410 is provided with a first positioning hole 411, which is a through hole. After the first positioning hole 411 engages with the first positioning boss 161, the diaphragm assembly 400 is fixedly connected to the positioning mechanism. The matching structure of the first positioning hole 411 and the first positioning boss 161 can limit the translational movement of the protective film 420 relative to the positioning mechanism, preventing the diaphragm assembly 400 from swinging during the film application operation, which would result in a decrease in alignment accuracy. This limits the translational movement of the protective film 420 relative to the positioning mechanism, allowing the protective film 420 to be stably positioned with the positioning mechanism, thereby improving the alignment accuracy of the protective film 420 and the screen of the electronic device 500. It is understandable that the first positioning hole 411 and the first positioning boss 161 can be fixed by snapping or by interference fit, thereby limiting the displacement and rotation of the positioning film 410 relative to the first mounting seat 100.

[0076] It is understandable that the positioning film 410 can be set to cover the entire protective film 420, or it can be set to cover part of the protective film 420, as long as the positioning film 410 can be tightly attached to the protective film 420 to avoid the positioning film 410 from separating from the protective film 420 during the film-sticking operation.

[0077] It is understandable that the traction film 440 is used to guide the release film 430 to tear off the protective film 420, thereby reducing the dust or debris that falls between the screen and the film during the attachment process of the film and the screen of the electronic device 500, thereby improving the quality of the film. When the electronic device 500 is filmed, the traction film 440 is also used as a dust removal film. Specifically, the traction film 440 is in contact with the screen of the electronic device 500. When the traction film 440 is pulled by the user, the traction film 440 contacts the screen and removes the dust on the screen. After the dust is removed, the release film 430 is separated from the protective film 420 to prevent the dust from falling onto the surface of the screen again. When the protective film 420 is attached to the screen, no bubbles are generated due to the dust on the screen surface, thereby improving the quality of the film.

[0078] To facilitate the removal of the release film 430 from the protective film 420, the end of the traction film 440 near the first positioning hole 411 is connected to the end of the release film 430 near the first positioning hole 411, while the end of the traction film 440 away from the first positioning hole 411 extends beyond the protective film 420. The traction film 440 extends in a front-to-back direction. The portion of the traction film 440 extending beyond the protective film 420 facilitates manual pulling. During the pulling process, the traction film 440 pulls the release film 430 away from the protective film 420, facilitating operation. As the release film 430 is pulled away from the protective film 420, the protective film 420 comes into contact with the screen of the electronic device 500, preventing the intrusion of dust and debris. Furthermore, due to the stable positioning of the positioning film 410 and the first mounting base 100, the traction film 440 prevents misalignment between the protective film 420 and the screen of the electronic device 500 during the pulling process, thereby improving the accuracy of film application to the electronic device 500. Therefore, the entire film application operation of the film application device according to the present invention is simple and convenient.

[0079] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the second mounting seat 200 is provided with a second edge on one side close to the second wall 220, and the second edge is arranged opposite to the first edge 160. The traction film 440 abuts against the second edge, so that the diaphragm assembly 400 can be better supported on the upper surface of the positioning mechanism, which is beneficial for the protective film 420 to be tilted upward from the front end to the rear end during the film application process, so that the adhesion effect between the protective film 420 and the screen of the electronic device 500 is better.

[0080] In addition, one end of the traction film 440 away from the first positioning hole 411 extends beyond the second edge. The portion of the traction film 440 extending beyond the second edge can be easily pulled by the user, making the operation more convenient.

[0081] It is understood that the cross-sectional shape of the first positioning hole 411 is the same as that of the first positioning boss 161. For example, the cross-sectional shape of the first positioning hole 411 is a square, and the cross-sectional shape of the first positioning boss 161 is also a square. Therefore, when the first positioning hole 411 and the first positioning boss 161 are mated, there is no gap between them that could cause displacement of the positioning film 410 and the positioning mechanism, thereby further improving the positioning accuracy of the protective film 420 and the screen of the electronic device 500.

[0082] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, it can be understood that the first positioning boss 161 is in the shape of a long strip, and the length direction of the first positioning boss 161 is perpendicular to the extending direction of the traction film 440, that is, the first positioning boss 161 is along Figure 3When the traction film 440 is pulled by the user, the force direction of the positioning film 410 and the protective film 420 is Figure 3 In the direction from front to back, the contact area of ​​the first positioning boss 161 along the front-to-back direction is increased, which can ensure that the positioning film 410 is not easily separated from the positioning mechanism during the pulling process of the traction film 440, thereby improving the reliability of the film-sticking operation.

[0083] As another embodiment, the cross section of the first positioning boss 161 may also be set to be an ellipse or a polygon, or may be set to be other shapes that can limit the translation or deflection of the positioning film 410 .

[0084] It is understandable that in another embodiment of the film-sticking device of the present invention, the first positioning boss 161 includes at least two positioning units, for example, two, three or more. The positioning unit can also be formed by the upper surface of the first edge 160 protruding upward. Two adjacent positioning units among the multiple positioning units can be spaced apart or interconnected. The shapes of the multiple positioning units can be the same or different, and the cross-section of one positioning unit is circular, elliptical or polygonal. Correspondingly, there can be multiple first positioning holes 411, and each first positioning hole 411 is respectively engaged with the corresponding positioning unit; there can also be only one first positioning hole 411, and it is engaged with the entire first positioning boss 161 including multiple positioning units.

[0085] Reference Figure 1 、 Figure 13 and Figure 14 As shown, it can be understood that in order to improve the connection stability of the positioning film 410 and the protective film 420, the positioning film 410 includes an attachment portion 412 and a first positioning portion 413. The attachment portion 412 covers most of the structure of the protective film 420, the first positioning portion 413 is connected to the attachment portion 412 and protrudes from the protective film 420, and the first positioning hole 411 is located at the first positioning portion 413. The first positioning portion 413 is configured as a handle that facilitates the user to tear off the positioning film 410 from the surface of the protective film 420. After the film is applied, the user tears the first positioning portion 413 off the first positioning boss 161, and the user can pull the attachment portion 412 and the protective film 420 through the first positioning portion 413 to smoothly separate, thereby preventing the protective film 420 attached to the screen of the electronic device 500 from being taken away by the positioning film 410.

[0086] It can be understood that as it approaches the attachment portion 412, the size of the first positioning portion 413 in the left and right directions gradually increases, and the contact surface between the first positioning portion 413 and the attachment portion 412 is larger, so that the first positioning portion 413 can more conveniently pull the attachment portion 412 to separate from the protective film 420.

[0087] The positioning film 410 includes a second positioning portion 414 and a third positioning portion 415. For example, the second positioning portion 414 is located at the left end of the attachment portion 412, and the third positioning portion 415 is located at the right end of the attachment portion 412. The second positioning portion 414 abuts against the second positioning member 240 on the left side, while the third positioning portion 415 abuts against the second positioning member 240 on the right side. This allows the diaphragm assembly 400 to be better supported on the upper surface of the positioning mechanism, improving the stability of the diaphragm assembly 400 during installation.

[0088] Reference Figure 1 As shown, to improve the installation stability of the diaphragm assembly 400, the two second positioning members 240 are respectively provided with second positioning bosses 243. The diaphragm assembly 400 is supported on the upper surfaces of the two second positioning members 240 and positioned between the two second positioning bosses 243, thereby constraining the diaphragm assembly 400's freedom in the left-right direction, thereby improving the positioning accuracy of the protective film 420 and the screen of the electronic device 500. This also improves the convenience of the user in installing the diaphragm assembly 400 on the positioning mechanism.

[0089] Reference Figure 15 As shown, the film applying method of the film applying device according to the embodiment of the present invention uses the film applying device of the above embodiment to apply a film to the screen of the electronic device 500. The film applying method according to the embodiment of the present invention includes the following steps:

[0090] S1501: Provide a film-sticking device as described in the above embodiments.

[0091] S1502: Provide an electronic device 500.

[0092] S1503: Move the second mounting base 200 away from the first wall 120, and place the electronic device 500 in the first groove 110, so that the electronic device 500 is centered under the resetting action of the first wall 120 and the second wall 220. Through these steps, the screen of the electronic device 500 and the positioning mechanism are positioned.

[0093] S1504: Engage the positioning film 410 with the first positioning boss 161 through the first positioning hole 411, so that the film assembly 400 is installed on the positioning mechanism. Through the above steps, the film assembly 400 can be positioned with the positioning mechanism, thereby achieving accurate alignment between the protective film 420 and the screen of the electronic device 500, improving the quality of the film application.

[0094] S1505: Pull out the traction film 440 until both the traction film 440 and the release film 430 are detached from the film application device. Through the above steps, the traction film 440 contacts the screen of the electronic device 500 and removes dust from the screen. After dust removal, the release film 430 is separated from the protective film 420 to prevent dust from falling back onto the screen surface.

[0095] S1506: A force is applied to the positioning film 410 in the direction of the pull-out of the traction film 440, toward the screen of the electronic device 500, so that the protective film 420 is adhered to the screen. Through these steps, the protective film 420 is first adhered along the width of the screen, forming an air vent boundary extending along the width of the screen. The protective film 420 then gradually tilts along the length of the screen through the air vent boundary to vent air while adhering to the screen. This allows for more orderly and smooth air venting, reduces the generation of bubbles, and improves the quality of the film application.

[0096] S1507: Detaching the positioning film 410 from the positioning mechanism. By doing this, the user can remove the positioning film 410 from the positioning mechanism without removing the protective film 420 from the screen. Once the positioning film 410 is removed, the finished electronic device 500 is exposed in the first groove 110.

[0097] S1508: Take the electronic device 500 out of the first groove 110. It is understandable that the user can facilitate taking the electronic device 500 out of the first groove 110 by spreading the first mounting seat 100 and the second mounting seat 200 apart.

[0098] The film-sticking method of the embodiment of the present invention is simple and convenient to operate, and has high film-sticking efficiency. It also has high film-sticking precision and good quality, and can be applied to electronic devices 500 of different sizes and shapes, and has strong versatility.

[0099] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Various changes can be made within the knowledge of ordinary technicians in the relevant technical field without departing from the scope of the present invention.
