[0032] With the rapid development of people's lives, electronic products such as mobile phones and tablets have become essential tools for everyone. To protect the screens of mobile phones and tablets from scratches and cracks, people often apply screen protectors. Currently, with the increasing popularity and maturity of electronic devices, curved screen devices are becoming more diverse and widely used. Curved electronic devices are expected to become a trend in the future market, leading to a growing demand for screen protection. Currently used curved screen protectors are broadly categorized into hydrogel films, heat-bending photocurable films, and heat-bending full-adhesive tempered glass films. All of these protectors require high precision and precise application techniques when applied to the screen. Furthermore, due to the AB adhesive properties of curved screen protectors, proper application often requires tools such as squeegees for air removal. Existing screen protector applicators are prone to dust accumulation and are inconvenient to use. Therefore, a screen protector applicator that can block dust during application while providing a smooth and effortless experience is a pressing technical problem that needs to be solved by those skilled in the art.

[0033] refer to Figures 1 to 7 To address the aforementioned problems, this application provides a screen protector 10, comprising a base 20, a shielding member 30, a connecting member 40, and a rolling assembly 50. The base 20 has a receiving groove 21 for placing an electronic device. The shielding member 30 is slidably connected to the base 20 to close or expose the receiving groove 21. The rolling assembly 50 is disposed on the side of the shielding member 30 facing the receiving groove 21. The connecting member 40 is rotatably connected to the shielding member 30 or the base 20 to unfold or fold relative to the shielding member 30 or the base 20. The following embodiments use a mobile phone as an electronic device for description.

[0034] In this screen protector applicator 10, the applicator 10 includes a base 20, a shielding member 30, a connector 40, and a rolling assembly 50. The base 20 has a receiving groove 21, which can hold a mobile phone. The base 20 can be designed according to the shape of the mobile phone. For example, some mobile phones have a protruding rear camera structure. A through hole can be opened on the lower side of the base 20 so that after the mobile phone is placed inside the receiving groove 21, the protruding structure of the rear camera can be placed outside the base 20 through the through hole, which helps to keep the screen protector applicator 10 stable during screen protector application. The shielding member 30 is slidably connected to the base 20 to close or expose the receiving groove 21. The shielding member 30 has the function of blocking dust. In existing technologies, when applying a screen protector to a mobile phone, the screen surface needs to be cleaned, wiped, and dusted. Since the screen is exposed during application, airborne dust can easily settle on the cleaned screen. The screen protector applicator 10 provided in this application, by incorporating a shielding member 30, can shield the screen during application, creating a relatively enclosed environment to prevent dust accumulation. In some embodiments, the shielding member 30 is transparent, allowing for easy observation of the application process and improving the user experience. In some embodiments, a rolling component 50 is located on the side of the shielding member 30 facing the receiving groove 21. During application, the screen protector is placed on the screen, and the rolling component 50 rolls over it, applying pressure to ensure a smooth fit and reduce potential air bubbles between the screen protector and the display.

[0035] refer to Figures 1 to 7 In some embodiments, the connector 40 is rotatably connected to the shielding member 30, allowing it to unfold or retract relative to the shielding member 30. The connector 40 facilitates the user sliding the shielding member 30. Specifically, when the phone needs to be placed in the receiving slot 21, the connector 40 unfolds relative to the shielding member 30. Furthermore, by pushing the connector 40, it retracts relative to the shielding member 30, thus placing the phone in a relatively enclosed space. When a screen protector needs to be applied, the connector 40 is pulled, cooperating with the rolling component 50 to apply the screen protector to the phone using the screen protector applicator 10. In other embodiments, the connector 40 is rotatably connected to the base 20, allowing it to unfold or retract relative to the base 20. In this case, the shielding member 30 does not need to be pushed or pulled. Instead, the relative position between the base 20 and the shielding member 30 is changed by sliding the shielding member 30, thus enabling the screen protector applicator 10 to apply the screen protector to the phone. In some embodiments, the push-pull part is connected to the shielding member 30 via a pivot. In some embodiments, the push-pull part and the shielding member 30 may also be configured as an integral structure to facilitate the installation and use of the film applicator 10.

[0036] See Figures 1-4In some embodiments, the connector 40 includes a connecting portion 41 and a protrusion 42. The connecting portion 41 is rotatably connected to the shielding member 30, and the protrusion 42 is connected to one side of the connecting portion 41. The protrusion 42 facilitates the user's pushing and pulling of the shielding member 30 when applying the film. One or more grooves can be provided at intervals on the protrusion 42. One or more grooves can increase the friction when pushing and pulling the protrusion 42, providing an anti-slip effect and improving the user experience. In some embodiments, when the connector 40 is closed relative to the shielding member 30, the connecting portion 41 covers the receiving groove 21, and the protrusion 42 extends into the receiving groove 21. The protrusion 42 is bendable and can be stacked on the side of the connector 40 away from the receiving groove 21. When the connector 40 is closed relative to the shielding member 30, the surface of the connecting portion 41 and the surface of the shielding member 30 away from the receiving groove 21 together form a flat surface. When the protrusion 42 is in the retracted state, the side of the shielding portion away from the receiving groove 21 is flat, which facilitates the storage of the screen protector 10 and reduces its storage volume. When the connector 40 is unfolded relative to the shielding portion 30, the connector 41 abuts against the side of the shielding portion 30 away from the receiving groove 21, and the protrusion 42 is located on the side of the connector 41 away from the shielding portion 30. When the user moves the shielding portion 30 using the connector 40, the protrusion 42 is located on the side of the connector 41 away from the shielding portion 30; when the user does not need to use the screen protector, the connector 40 is retracted into the receiving groove 21 relative to the shielding portion 30 to ensure the flatness of the screen protector 10's appearance and improve its aesthetics.

[0037] See Figures 1 to 7 In some embodiments, the base 20 is provided with a slide rail 22 extending along a first direction P1. The slide rail 22 is disposed on the groove walls 213 on opposite sides of the receiving groove 21. The blocking member 30 is slidably connected in the slide rail 22, and the slide rail 22 can ensure the direction of movement of the blocking member 30. For example, the long side of the mobile phone in the receiving groove 21 extends parallel to the slide rail 22, and the blocking member 30 can slide along the first direction P1 to close the receiving groove 21. When the user uses the screen protector applicator 10 to apply the screen protector, the mobile phone can be placed in the receiving groove 21 with the long side of the mobile phone parallel to the slide rail 22. When applying the screen protector, the slide rail 22 ensures the direction of movement of the blocking member 30. Since the roller assembly can move simultaneously with the blocking member 30, the slide rail 22 can ensure the direction of movement of the blocking member 30 while also ensuring the direction of movement of the roller assembly, thereby achieving accurate application of the screen protector to the corresponding position on the mobile phone display screen, which is beneficial to improving the screen protector applicator 10.

[0038] See Figure 2 and Figure 4In some embodiments, the base 20 is provided with a limiting part 23, which is disposed opposite to the end of the slide rail 22 along the first direction P1. The limiting part 23 has a limiting function. When the film applicator 10 provided in this application is not in use, the connector 40 can be cleverly and portablely stored on the upper side of the receiving groove 21. The connector 40 is closed relative to the shielding member 30 in the receiving groove 21 to ensure the flatness of the appearance surface of the film applicator 10, making the film applicator 10 easy to store, and improving the aesthetics of the appearance of the film applicator 10. If the connector 40 can move along the slide rail 22 to the edge of the slide rail 22 near the limiting part 23, the connector 40 will not be able to be retracted into the receiving groove 21. Therefore, the limiting part 23 is provided. The limiting part 23 can limit the movement of the connector 40 on the slide rail 22. When the connector 40 moves the shielding part 30 to the limiting part 23, the connector 40 will not be able to move further. At this time, by retracting the connector 40 into the receiving groove 21, the shielding part 30 side of the film applicator 10 can be made flat. At this time, the surface of the connector 41 and the surface of the shielding part 30 away from the receiving groove 21 together form a flat surface.

[0039] See Figure 4 In some embodiments, the rolling assembly 50 is located at the end of the shielding member 30 near the connecting member 40. When the connecting member 40 is pushed to move the shielding member 30, the rolling assembly can abut against the screen protector, pressing the screen protector and moving it to apply the screen protector to the phone display screen. Simultaneously, the force applied by the rolling assembly to the screen protector can reduce air bubbles between the screen protector and the phone display screen, thereby improving the application effect of the screen protector applicator 10. When the connecting member 40 is unfolded relative to the shielding member 30, the connecting member 40 is located on the opposite side of the shielding member 30 where the rolling assembly 50 is located, so that the connecting member 40 and the rolling assembly do not interfere with each other, ensuring the convenience of the screen protector applicator 10.

[0040] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4In some embodiments, the receiving groove 21 includes a first groove segment 211 and a second groove segment 212 along the first direction P1. The base 20 is provided with a limiting part 23, which is disposed within the first groove segment 211. The limiting part 23 and the end of the slide rail 22 are disposed opposite each other along the first direction P1. The blocking member 30 can move within the first groove segment 211, and the protrusion 42 of the connecting member 40 can extend into the receiving groove 21. Specifically, the limiting part 23 can be used to restrict the sliding of the blocking member 30 in the first groove segment 211, and can prevent the limiting part 23 from moving in the second groove segment 212 and affecting the portable storage of the connecting member 41. The connecting member 41 can rotate relative to the blocking member 30 to cover the second groove segment 212, so as to realize the portable storage of the connecting member 40. In some embodiments, the edge of the receiving groove 21 is provided with a locating groove 214, which can be configured as a rectangular groove. When the applicator 10 is not in use, the connector 40 can be stored in the receiving groove 21. At this time, the surface of the connector 41 and the side of the shielding member 30 away from the receiving groove 21 together form a flat surface. Furthermore, when the user needs to pry the connector 40 out of the receiving groove 21, the locating groove 214 can be pried open to fold the protrusion 42 out of the receiving groove 21. The locating groove 214 can improve the convenience and operability of prying open the connector 40. In some embodiments, the shape of the locating groove 214 can be designed according to requirements to improve the aesthetics of the applicator 10. In some embodiments, when the connector 40 is retracted relative to the blocking member 30, the connecting part 41 partially blocks the latching groove 214, and the latching groove 214 is exposed on the outer surface of the base 20. The latching groove 214 being exposed on the outer surface of the base 20 allows the user to pry the protrusion 42 of the connector 40 out of the receiving groove 21 by prying the latching groove 214, thereby improving operability and convenience.

[0041] See Figures 1 to 7 In some embodiments, the protrusion 42 and the blocking member 30 are provided with magnetic elements, so that when the connecting member 40 is unfolded relative to the blocking member 30, the protrusion 42 can be attracted by the blocking member 30. When the user pulls the blocking member 30 through the connecting member 40, the protrusion 42 is firmly attracted by the blocking member 30, which makes the movement of the blocking member 30 more stable. This makes the connecting member 40 less likely to shake or fall off during the movement, thereby improving the stability of the film application process. At the same time, the stable attraction between the two also makes the film application process smooth and effortless, which is beneficial to improving the user experience. In other embodiments, only the protrusion 42 and the blocking member 30 are provided with magnetic elements, or only the blocking member 30 is provided with magnetic elements. The magnetic elements can be fixed to the protrusion 42 or the blocking member 30 with adhesive. Double-sided adhesive can be used, which has the advantages of good adhesion and ease of use.

[0042] See Figures 5-7In some embodiments, the connector 40 is rotatably connected to the base 20. By rotating the connector 40 to a certain angle and then pulling it, the base 20 can be moved relative to the shield 30. Specifically, the base 20 has a first end 24 and a second end 25 along a first direction P1. The connector 40 is rotatably connected to the second end 25 of the base 20. The shield 30 can slide along the first direction P1 to close the receiving groove 21. When in use, the user places the mobile phone in the receiving groove 21 and then moves the shield 30 to slide it along the first direction P1 to close the receiving groove 21. In other embodiments, the connector 40 is located at the end of the shield 30 near the second end 25. The user moves the base 20 relative to the shield 30 by pulling the connector 40.

[0043] See Figures 1 to 7 When using the screen protector 10 provided in this application, the receiving groove 21 is exposed by pulling the connector 40. Then, the user places the mobile phone in the receiving groove 21 of the base 20. Further, the mobile phone screen is wiped clean, and the screen protector is placed on the mobile phone display screen. In some embodiments, a groove may be provided on one side of the screen protector, and a hook is provided in the receiving groove 21. When the screen protector is placed on the mobile phone display screen, the groove on the screen protector can be hung on the hook inside the receiving groove 21 to fix the position of the screen protector. Next, peel off the film from the side closest to the phone. Close the shielding member 30 by pushing and pulling the connector 40 to place the phone and the film in a relatively enclosed space. Further, hold the film applicator 10 in place with one hand and push the connector 40 with the other hand to slide the shielding member 30. The shielding member 30 drives the roller assembly to slide together. The roller assembly can apply appropriate force to the film and the phone screen to make the film adhere stably to the phone display screen, thus achieving automatic film application. Compared with the existing film application methods of positioning frame and squeegee to assist air venting, or the method of directly using the roller film applicator 10, the film applicator 10 provided in this application can block dust during film application, and is stable and labor-saving, effectively improving the film application effect.

[0044] The above embodiments only illustrate several implementation methods of this utility model, and their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
