Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tape application technology, and in particular to a tape application tool suitable for performing tape application operations on workpieces with narrow spaces. Background Technology

[0002] The content in this section only provides background information related to this utility model and may not constitute prior art.

[0003] A tape application tool is a tool used to assist an operator in applying tape to a target area (e.g., the surface to which the tape will be applied) of a target object (e.g., a workpiece to which tape is to be applied). For workpieces with elongated internal spaces that require tape application to their elongated surfaces, such as tools with elongated grooves narrower than the width of an operator's finger, traditional tape application tools cannot reach into these grooves to apply tape to their elongated inner surfaces. Furthermore, even when the width of the groove is greater than the width of an operator's finger, the instability of manual operation during application means that not only can the positional tolerance of the tape application be guaranteed, but the tape may also stick to the side surface adjacent to the target surface. In addition, manual operation cannot effectively eliminate air bubbles between the adhesive surface of the tape and the target surface, which reduces the bonding area and further affects the adhesive strength. Moreover, in practice, this purely manual operation is inefficient, time-consuming, and fails to meet the needs of operators.

[0004] Therefore, the industry urgently needs a tape application tool that can assist operators in performing tape application operations on workpieces with narrow spaces. Utility Model Content

[0029] See Figures 1 to 5 The tape application tool 100 provided in this embodiment is a tool to assist operators in performing tape application operations. It is mainly suitable for applying tape to narrow surfaces S (i.e., target surfaces, see [reference]) within a workpiece (e.g., aluminum profile) P that has a narrow space. Figure 3 and Figure 4 The tape application tool 100 performs the tape application operation. It mainly includes a body 110 and at least one application wheel 120. The at least one application wheel 120 is attached to the body 110, wherein the at least one application wheel 120 is configured to extend into the elongated space of the tool P and apply the tape T (see [reference]).

Figure 3 and Figure 4 The function of the tape positioning groove 130 is to guide the tape through the groove, ensuring that the tape remains in the correct position during application, thereby preventing the tape from deviating from the target surface.

[0031] In the illustrated embodiment, the tape positioning channel 130 is defined by a plurality of wall portions, at least one of which serves as an anti-stick portion 131 to prevent tape from being unintentionally applied to the side surface adjacent to the elongated surface S in the elongated space.

[0032] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the surface of the anti-stick portion 131 may be treated with an anti-stick coating; or, the surface of the anti-stick portion 131 may be coated with an anti-stick coating (such as a Teflon coating) to further enhance its anti-stick effect.
