[0001] The utility model relates to an auxiliary tool, in particular to a tape pasting tool suitable for pasting ultra-thin tapes. Background Art
[0002] The contents of this section merely provide background information related to the present invention and may not constitute prior art.
[0003] In industrial production or daily life, it is often necessary to stick tape to the surface of an object. Usually, people use their fingers or simple auxiliary tools such as sliders and rollers to stick the tape. However, these methods are usually only suitable for sticking tapes with a thickness of 0.1mm to 3mm or more, and are not suitable for sticking ultra-thin tapes with a thickness of less than 0.1mm. In particular, when using fingers or conventional auxiliary tools such as sliders and rollers to stick ultra-thin tapes, since the tape is extremely thin, any uneven pressure applied to the tape can easily cause the tape to deform, wrinkle or deflect and easily lead to bubbles between the tape and the object, resulting in low efficiency, accuracy, flatness, firmness and aesthetics of the tape sticking.
[0004] Therefore, it is desirable to develop a tape pasting tool that is suitable for assisting in pasting ultra-thin tapes with a thickness below 0.1 mm. Utility Model Content

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
[0017] The following description of the embodiments of the present invention is based on examples only and is based on the accompanying drawings. In the accompanying drawings, the same features or components are represented by the same reference numerals, and the drawings are not necessarily drawn to scale. In the accompanying drawings:
[0018] Figure 1 A perspective view showing a tape application tool according to one embodiment of the present invention in use; and
[0019] Figure 2 Shown Figure 1 A perspective view of the tape application tool in FIG. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0020] The following description is merely illustrative in nature and is not intended to limit the present invention, its applications, or uses. It should be understood that throughout the drawings, like reference numerals indicate identical or similar parts and features. The drawings merely schematically illustrate the concepts and principles of the embodiments of the present invention and do not necessarily depict the specific dimensions and proportions of each embodiment of the present invention. Certain portions of certain drawings may be exaggerated to illustrate relevant details or structures of the embodiments of the present invention.
[0021] In describing the embodiments of the present invention, the directional terms "upper" and "lower" are used to describe the upper and lower positions of the views shown in the accompanying drawings. In actual applications, the positional relationships of "upper" and "lower" used herein can be defined according to actual circumstances, and these relationships can be reversed.
[0022] Figure 1 FIG1 shows a three-dimensional view of a tape applying tool 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention in a use state. Figure 2 A perspective view of the taping tool 1 is shown.
[0023] like Figure 1 As shown, the tape applying tool 1 is used to apply the tape 3 to the surface of the workpiece 2. The tape 3 may be an ultra-thin tape with a thickness of less than 0.1 mm, for example, the thickness of the tape 3 may be in the range of 0.03 mm to 0.1 mm.
[0024] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the tape applying tool 1 includes a support 110 and a pressure roller 120 rotatably attached to the support 110. The pressure roller 120 is configured to roll along the surface of a workpiece 2 to apply pressure to the tape 3 between the pressure roller 120 and the workpiece 2, thereby rolling and applying the tape 3 to the surface of the workpiece 2. The tape applying tool 1 also includes a balancing wheel 130 rotatably attached to the support 110 behind the pressure roller 120. As the tape applying tool 1 moves along the surface of the workpiece 2, both the pressure roller 120 and the balancing wheel 130 come into contact with the workpiece 2, thereby forming two contact points between the tape applying tool 1 and the workpiece 2. Compared to a single-roller tool with only one contact point, the tape applying tool 1 according to the present invention is less likely to wobble in the forward direction or lateral directions perpendicular to the forward direction when moving along the surface of the workpiece 2. This allows for more uniform pressure on the tape 3, prevents wrinkling or deflection of the tape 3, and prevents the formation of bubbles between the tape 3 and the workpiece 2. Preferably, the bottom edge of the pressure wheel 120 and the bottom edge of the balance wheel 130 are on the same horizontal plane. This configuration is particularly convenient for attaching the adhesive tape 3 to a flat surface. In other embodiments, the bottom edge of the pressure wheel 120 and the bottom edge of the balance wheel 130 may also be arranged at different horizontal planes. For example, the bottom edge of the balance wheel 130 may be arranged to be slightly higher than the bottom edge of the pressure wheel 120.
[0025] The pressure wheel 120 and the balance wheel 130 can be made of various known elastomeric materials, such as rubber, silicone, etc. In other words, the pressure wheel 120 and the balance wheel 130 are configured to be elastically deformable. This elastic deformation of the pressure wheel 120 and the balance wheel 130 facilitates uniform application of pressure to the adhesive tape 3, thereby effectively preventing or at least reducing wrinkles, bubbles, and deflection of the adhesive tape.
[0026] The tape applying tool 1 may further include one or more guide posts 140 attached to the bracket 110 in front of the pressure wheel 120. These guide posts 140 guide the tape 3 toward the pressure wheel 120 to prevent it from deflecting. Furthermore, these guide posts 140 allow the tape 3 to be fully unrolled before being applied to the workpiece 2, preventing it from adhering to itself or to the tape applying tool 1. Preferably, the guide posts 140 are rotatable about their own axes, thereby reducing friction between the guide posts 140 and the tape 3 and preventing deformation or entanglement of the tape 3. In other embodiments, the guide posts 140 may be non-rotatable.
[0027] The support 110 of the tape applying tool 1 can be constructed in any suitable shape suitable for the user to hold. In this embodiment, the support 110 includes a first side plate 111 and a second side plate 112 attached to the axial sides of the pressure wheel 120 and the balance wheel 130 respectively. Figure 1In the figure, the first side plate 111 and the second side plate 112 are shown as transparent to facilitate the display of the components sandwiched between the first side plate 111 and the second side plate 112. The first side plate 111 and the second side plate 112 limit the two axial ends of the pressure wheel 120 and the balance wheel 130 to prevent the pressure wheel 120 and the balance wheel 130 from shaking during the movement along the surface of the workpiece 2. Preferably, the first side plate 111 extends beyond the bottom edge of the pressure wheel 120 and the second side plate 112. Thus, as shown in FIG. Figure 1 As shown, the portion of the first side plate 111 extending beyond the bottom edge of the pressure wheel 120 and the portion of the second side plate 112 can abut against the side surface of the workpiece 2 to facilitate positioning of the tape applying tool 1 when the tape applying tool 1 is moved along the workpiece 2 .
[0028] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the tape applying tool 1 may further include a tension adjusting device 150 configured to support the tape 3 and adjust the tension of the tape 3. The tension adjusting device 150 is provided at the second end of the bracket 110 opposite to the first end where the pressure wheel 120 and the balance wheel 130 are located, and is rotatably connected to the bracket 110. In this embodiment, the tension adjusting device 150 is rotatably connected to the second side plate 112 of the bracket 110 via a fastener 154. The fastener 154 may include, for example, a screw, a bolt, etc. The tension adjusting device 150 includes a tape reel 151 for winding the tape 3 thereon, and a first flat plate 152 and a second flat plate 153 respectively provided on both axial sides of the tape reel 151. In Figure 2 In the figure, the first and second plates 152, 153 are shown as transparent to facilitate display of the components sandwiched between them. In use, the first and second plates 152, 153, the tape reel 151 sandwiched between them, and the tape 3 wound on the tape reel 151 form an assembly that can rotate integrally relative to the bracket 110. The tension adjustment device 150 also includes a spring (not shown) disposed between the assembly and the fastener 154. The spring is configured to urge the assembly toward the bracket 110. Tightening or loosening the fastener 154 adjusts the spring's force, thereby adjusting the friction between the assembly and the bracket 110 through the interaction between the spring and fastener 154. When the assembly is rotated to release the tape 3, the friction between the assembly and the bracket 110 can be adjusted to control its rotational speed, thereby adjusting the tension of the tape 3.
[0029] When applying tape 3 using the tape applying tool 1, the user first pulls out one end of the tape 3 and applies it to the workpiece 2 at the desired starting point. The tape 3 then passes around the guide post 140 and is positioned between the pressure roller 120 and the balance wheel 130 and the workpiece 2, with the adhesive side of the tape 3 facing the workpiece 2 and the first side plate 111 of the support 110 of the tape applying tool 1 abutting the workpiece 2. Subsequently, while maintaining the first side plate 111 abutting the workpiece 2, the pressure roller 120 and balance wheel 130 of the tape applying tool 1 are rolled along the workpiece 2, quickly, accurately, and reliably applying the tape 3 to the workpiece 2. This tape applying tool 1 applies uniform pressure to the tape 3 and is less likely to cause shaking or shifting during application. This effectively prevents wrinkles, bubbles, deformation, cracks, and deflection in the tape 3, thereby improving the efficiency and quality of tape application. Furthermore, when applying tape 3 using the tape applying tool 1, the user can adjust the tension of the tape 3 using the tension adjusting device 150 as needed to prevent the tape 3 from being stretched too tight and causing breakage or deformation, or from being too loose and causing wrinkles or tangles. Based on these beneficial technical effects, the tape applying tool 1 is particularly suitable for applying ultra-thin tapes with a thickness of less than 0.1 mm.
