Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of household appliance packaging, and more specifically, it relates to an adhesive tape application component. Background Technology
[0002] With the increasing demands on the appearance and craftsmanship of home appliances (such as washing machines and refrigerators), surface protection has become an indispensable part of the production process. EPE (Expanded Polyethylene) is widely used for packaging protection of electrical appliance surfaces due to its lightweight, excellent cushioning properties, and low cost, especially in easily scratched areas such as buttons and panels.
[0003] In the automated process of applying pearl cotton to the surface of home appliances (such as washing machines), the precise transfer and bonding effect of the tape directly affects packaging efficiency and protective performance. In traditional processes, the tape is prone to unexpected adhesion during transfer due to premature contact with pearl cotton or equipment components, resulting in tape twisting, wrinkling, or even tearing. Especially after the tape is pulled out by the clamping mechanism, if there is a lack of effective control over the free end of the tape, the tape is prone to sagging or rebounding, sticking to the pearl cotton surface and disrupting the preset bonding path. After the bonding mechanism completes the initial bonding, the tape needs to be pulled back to adjust the tension, but the traditional cutting action and traction timing are not well coordinated, and the tape end is prone to retraction due to loss of control at the moment of cutting, resulting in insufficient effective bonding length or curling of the tape end. Moreover, in the existing technology, after the tape is cut, the cut edge lacks immediate compression, and relying solely on static bonding, it is prone to micro-peeling due to tape elasticity or equipment vibration, and the tape edges gradually delaminate after long-term storage.
[0004] Therefore, this case arose in response to the aforementioned issues. Utility Model Content
