The filtered air is cooled by the refrigeration generator 705 and then enters the air diffuser 701 through the air inlet pipe 702, and finally discharged to the adhesive coated on the tape surface through the air diffuser 701, so as to cool the adhesive. Before blowing air, the dust in the air is filtered out by the filter screen plate 704-31 and the filter cotton 704-32, so as to avoid the dust from being introduced into the cooling box 200 and the dust from being covered on the adhesive, so as to ensure the quality of the tape.

[0046] When it is necessary to clean the filter element 704-3, the lifting handle is used to pull the lifting plate 704-42 upward, and the lifting plate 704-42 drives the pressure rod 704-41 to move upward and pull the pressure rod 704-41 out of the cooling box 200, so as to release the limit of the filter element 704-3. The operation is simple and does not require the use of other tools. Then, the push rod 704-5 is pushed forward by the fixed rod 704-7 or the vertical rod 704-6. The push rod 704-5 is forced to push the filter element 704-3 to move inside the filter box 704-1, and the filter element 704-3 can be pushed out from the filter box 704-1, which is convenient for the staff to clean the filter element 704-3, and is not easy to cause the filter element 704-3 to be blocked, thereby not easily affecting the ventilation volume, and thus not easily affecting the cooling effect of the adhesive on the surface of the tape.

[0047] It is worth noting that the entire device is controlled by a controller. Since the controller is a commonly used device and belongs to the existing mature technology, its electrical connection relationship and specific circuit structure will not be described in detail here.
