Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of film applicators, in particular to a film applicator capable of applying a constant downward pressure to a rolling component. Background Art

[0002] The film applicator is an auxiliary tool used to apply tempered film to mobile phones and other devices more conveniently and accurately; it usually has the following features and functions: Precise positioning: helps ensure that the tempered film can be accurately attached to the screen to avoid problems such as crooked attachment or bubbles. Easy operation: makes the film application process relatively easy, even non-professionals can complete the film application well. Protective effect: during the film application process, it can protect the screen to a certain extent and prevent accidental scratches or damage; different types of film applicators may have different designs, but the purpose is to improve the efficiency and effect of film application.

[0003] In order to achieve a better exhaust effect and a higher film-applying speed during the film-applying process, the prior art generally integrates a rolling component structure on the film-applying device. After the protective film and the screen to be film-applied are positioned, the rolling component is used to roll the protective film laterally along the upper end of the protective film, so that the protective film can be attached to the screen to be film-applied in an orderly exhaust manner from one end to the other end. In addition, during the rolling operation, the rolling component can apply a rolling force from top to bottom to the protective film, so that the protective film and the product to be film-applied can be more quickly and tightly attached, that is, the speed of exhaust between the protective film and the screen to be film-applied can be increased by operating the rolling component; thereby achieving a better and faster film-applying effect;

[0004] However, since the protective film itself is relatively thin, it will basically have a certain degree of deformability. The rolling component needs to apply uniform downward pressure to the protective film, especially by quickly pushing the rolling component to quickly attach the protective film to the screen to be attached. If the material on which the rolling component is installed does not have sufficient strength, and the operator is uncertain about the longitudinal force applied when operating the rolling component, the rolling component may have a situation where the downward pressure decreases and then increases when rolling the protective film. When the rolling component is pushed quickly, it is very likely that the section with less downward pressure will produce different deformations, so that the protective film and the screen to be attached at this position cannot be exhausted in time, thereby causing bubbles to be generated or not closely attached, resulting in the gradual generation of bubbles due to loose attachment during later use. Since the hydrogel film itself has a greater deformation effect, the situation reflected on the hydrogel film will be more prominent.

[0005] In this regard, when the protective film is attached to the screen to be attached by pushing the rolling component downward and rolling, if the rolling component is to be pushed quickly to achieve faster exhaust between the protective film and the screen to be attached, a greater downward pressure needs to be applied accordingly; however, if the downward pressure is too large, the protective film or the screen may be crushed. Therefore, when setting up this type of film applicator, a base for positioning the screen to be attached and a rolling component slidably connected to the base are generally provided;

[0006] However, in the prior art, some film applicators are configured to have a structure of a base and an upper cover, and the base and the upper cover are covered by positioning and matching, or the base and the upper cover are covered by flipping. For this type of film applicator with an upper cover structure, the upper cover is generally made of thin plastic, which is highly deformable, and the covering and locking structure between the upper cover and the base generally acts on the four corners of the upper cover. If the rolling component is set on the upper cover, the upper cover will be deformed by the reverse force generated between the screen to be filmed and the rolling component because the downward pressure applied by the upper cover to the rolling component is insufficient, especially in the middle of the long side of the upper cover, which will cause the rolling component to be pushed quickly. The downward pressure applied to the protective film during the movement is uneven. Therefore, during the film sticking process, this type of flip-top film applicator with an integrated rolling component on the upper cover requires the user to continuously apply a certain downward pressure to achieve a better film sticking effect. Users often do not consider this when using it after purchase. Even if it is emphasized in text, many users still do not consider this. Even if downward pressure is applied, there will be changes in the downward pressure intensity, resulting in poor use effect of the flip-top film applicator with an integrated rolling component on the upper cover, and also causing waste of the protective film. In this regard, it is necessary to propose an improved technical solution to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0034] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention are described clearly and completely below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0035] See also Figure 1-8 In an embodiment of the utility model, a film applicator capable of applying a constant downward pressure to a rolling component is provided, which is used to assist in attaching a protective film 2 to a screen 1 to be film-applied, and includes a base 10 and an upper cover 20 that overlap each other. A positioning groove 11 for positioning the screen 1 to be film-applied is provided on the base 10, and a film positioning structure 30 for positioning the protective film 2 is also provided on the base 10 or the upper cover 20. When in use, the screen 1 to be film-applied is positioned in the positioning groove 11, and then the protective film 2 is positioned on the base 10 or the upper cover 20 through the film positioning structure 30. The film positioning structure 30 adopts a traditional structure, mainly including an upper protective sheet 31 and positioning members 32 arranged at both ends of the upper protective sheet 31. The positioning member 32 is used to be installed on the base 10 or the upper cover 20, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown in the figure, they are schematic diagrams of the structure in which the upper protection sheet 31 is installed on the base 10 and on the upper cover 20, respectively. The protective film 2 is attached to the upper protection sheet 31. The protective film 2 and the upper protection sheet 31 are generally attached by adsorption or without adhesion, that is, it is ensured that the upper protection sheet 31 and the protective film 2 can be automatically separated after the protective film 2 is attached to the screen 1 to be filmed. The utility model is further slidably connected to the upper cover 20 with a rolling component 40 for rolling and sweeping the entire protective film 2. After the protective film 2 and the screen 1 to be filmed are positioned, the upper cover 20 is covered so that the rolling component 40, the protective film 2 and the screen 1 to be filmed are in corresponding positions. At this time, the rolling component 40 is pushed by the user to roll and sweep the entire protective film 2, so that the protective film 2 on the upper protection sheet 31 is rolled and attached to the screen 1 to be filmed, and the rolling component 40 Generally, the protective film 2 is driven to be attached to the screen 1 to be attached by rolling on the upper protective sheet 31. The roller part of the rolling component 40 generally has a certain elasticity. When the rolling component 40 rolls onto the screen 1 to be attached, it can drive the protective film 2 to be attached to the screen 1 to be attached in a pressed and fitted manner by its own elastic force.
