Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of screen protector application equipment, and more specifically, to a flip-type screen protector for electronic products. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, electronic products (such as smartphones, tablets, and smartwatches) typically require a protective film to be applied to their screens or casings before leaving the factory or during user use to prevent scratches, fingerprints, or daily wear and tear. Traditional screen protector application methods mainly rely on manual operation, and the specific process includes:

[0003] Cleaning: Wipe the surface of the electronic product to be covered with the screen protector using a cleaning cloth and alcohol to remove dust, fingerprints and oil stains.

[0004] Positioning adjustment: Tear the protective film off the release film and roughly align it with the edge of the electronic product by visual inspection.

[0005] Gradual application: While peeling off the release film, slowly press the protective film onto the surface of the electronic product with your fingers or a scraper to minimize the formation of air bubbles.

[0006] The manual application method described above is difficult to operate. For large-screen or curved screen devices, it is difficult to control the peeling speed of the release film and the adhesion position of the protective film at the same time, which can easily lead to the film being misaligned. When applying the film in an open environment, dust can easily be attracted between the protective film and the screen during the application process, forming dirt that is difficult to remove. Utility Model Content

[0007] To address the problems of high operational difficulty and easy soiling of electronic products when applying screen protectors manually, this application provides a flip-type screen protector for electronic products.

[0008] A flip-type screen protector applicator for electronic products includes a base with a flip cover hinged to one end. The flip cover is flipped to close onto the top surface of the base. The inner wall contour of the positioning groove matches the outer wall contour of the electronic product to be covered. A film positioning component is provided on the side of the flip cover opposite to the base, and the film positioning component positions and fixes the film component. When the flip cover is closed onto the top surface of the base, the film positioning component positions and fixes the film component, causing the film component to be suspended above the electronic product to be covered and aligned vertically with the electronic product. The flip cover also has a slot that penetrates the flip cover and aligns with the film component.

[0009] Preferably, the flip cover includes a panel, the outer contour and size of which match the base. A hinge seat is protruding from one side end of the panel, the length of which extends along the width of the panel, and both ends of the hinge seat are provided with circular protrusions. A groove is recessed on the peripheral wall of one end of the base, and the groove extends along the width of the base and penetrates the top surface of the base. Circular holes are provided on both sides of the groove on the base. The length of the hinge seat matches the extension length of the groove. The base and the flip cover are hinged by two circular protrusions passing through two circular holes respectively. A support strip is also provided on the facing surfaces of the panel and the base. The support strip starts from one end of the hinge seat and extends along the edge contour of the flip cover to the other end of the hinge seat. A slot is provided on the panel, penetrating the panel and within the range enclosed by the support strip. The membrane positioning component is provided on the bottom surface of the panel, within the range enclosed by the support strip, and positioned to avoid the slot.

[0010] Preferably, both the flip cover and the base are made of plastic, and the ends of the two circular protrusions are provided with grooves that are obliquely cut towards the hinge seat.

[0011] Preferably, the membrane positioning assembly includes a first positioning post, a second positioning post, and a hook post. The first and second positioning posts are both located at one end of the flip cover that is hinged to the base and are arranged left and right along the width direction of the flip cover. The hook post is located at the end of the flip cover away from the hinge base and is positioned between the first and second positioning posts. The line connecting the hook post, the first positioning post, and the second positioning post forms a triangle. The membrane assembly is provided with a first positioning hole matching the size of the first positioning post, a second positioning hole matching the size of the second positioning post, and a third positioning hole for the hook post to pass through. The arrangement of the first, second, and third positioning holes on the membrane assembly is consistent with the arrangement of the hook post, the first positioning post, and the second positioning post on the flip cover. The hook post has a hook block protruding on the side away from the first and second positioning posts. The membrane assembly is fitted onto the first positioning post through the first positioning hole, onto the second positioning post through the second positioning hole, and the positioning membrane is inserted into the hook post through the third positioning hole. The hook post hooks the membrane assembly through the hook block.

[0012] Preferably, the membrane assembly includes a positioning film, a tempered glass film, and a release film. The tempered glass film is adhered to the surface of the positioning film, and the release film is adhered to the side of the tempered glass film away from the positioning film. A first positioning hole, a second positioning hole, and a third positioning hole are disposed on the positioning film, and the tempered glass film is located between the third positioning hole and the first and second positioning holes. A handle film is also connected to one end of the release film. The handle film is bent toward the side of the release film away from the tempered glass film and extends to the other end of the release film. The positioning film, the release film, and the handle film are all flexible films.

[0013] Preferably, the top surface of the base is further provided with a protrusion, which is positioned between the first positioning post and the second positioning post when the base and the flip cover are closed.

[0014] Preferably, the flip cover is provided with a lock head, and the base is provided with a fastener that cooperates with the lock head. The flip cover and the base are fixed together by the lock head being fastened into the fastener.

[0015] Preferably, the lock head includes an elastic piece, which is vertically disposed on one side of the flip cover that fits onto the base. A protrusion is provided on one side of the end of the elastic piece. The bottom surface of the protrusion is a first inclined surface that slopes upward from the side of the elastic piece, and the top surface of the protrusion is a second inclined surface that slopes downward from the side of the elastic piece. The latch includes an insertion groove recessed in the top surface of the base and a latching groove recessed in the side wall of the insertion groove. The insertion groove is for the elastic piece to pass through, and the latching groove is for the protrusion to pass through.

[0016] The beneficial technical effects of this application are as follows: The positioning groove set in the base enables the electronic product to be positioned on the base; the hinged connection between the flip cover and the base fixes the relative position of the flip cover and the base; the film positioning component set on the flip cover positions the film component, so that the relative position of the film component and the electronic product is fixed when the flip cover is closed on the base. This makes it easier for the film to avoid misalignment with the electronic product during the film application process, making the film application operation simple. Furthermore, the flip cover is designed to close the top surface of the base, forming a closed structure that encloses the film component and the electronic product between the base and the flip cover. This helps to isolate dust and reduce the amount of dust adsorbed between the film and the screen of the electronic product during the film application process. Attached Figure Description

[0022] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0023] Reference Figure 1-3A flip-type screen protector applicator for electronic products includes a base 1, which is square with rounded corners. A flip cover 2 is hinged to one end of the base 1. A positioning groove 11 is recessed on the top surface of the base 1. The outline and size of the positioning groove 11 match the outline and size of the electronic product to be screen protected. The positioning groove 11 is used to position the electronic product relative to the base 1. The hinge between the base 1 and the flip cover 2 is specifically as follows: the flip cover 2 includes a panel 21, the outer outline and size of which match the outer outline and size of the base 1. A hinge seat 22 protrudes from one side end of the panel 21 and extends along the width of the panel 21. Two pairs of circular protrusions 23 are provided on the hinge seat 22. A groove 12 is recessed on the peripheral wall of one end of the base 1. The groove 12 extends along the width of the base 1 and penetrates the top surface of the base 1. The base 1 has round holes 13 on both sides of the groove 12. The inner diameter of the round holes 13 matches the diameter of the round protrusions 23. The length of the hinge seat 22 matches the extension length of the groove 12. The two round protrusions 23 on the hinge seat 22 are inserted into the round holes 13 on both sides of the groove 12 to achieve hinge connection between the flip cover 2 and the base 1. Since the length of the hinge seat 22 matches the extension length of the groove 12, the hinge seat 22 is limited by the opposite side walls of the groove 12. The round holes 13 limit the round protrusions 23 so that the flip cover 2 is not easy to shake back and forth or left and right during the flipping process, so that the flip cover 2 is accurately positioned relative to the base 1 after flipping. The hinge base 22 and the circular protrusion 23 are integrally set. In order to make it easier for the circular protrusion 23 to pass into the circular hole 13, the flip cover 2 and the base 1 are made of plastic. The ends of the two circular protrusions 23 are provided with a groove 231 that is obliquely cut towards the hinge base 22. Since the plastic material has a certain elastic deformation, by pre-clamping the hinge base 22 into the groove 12, the oblique surface of the groove 231 of the circular protrusion 23 abuts against the top edge of the groove 12, and then applying force, the groove 12 on the plastic base 1 is pushed open by the oblique surface of the groove 231, so that the two circular protrusions 23 can pass into the groove 12. And the circular protrusions 23 can pass into the circular hole 13 through the elastic recovery of the base 1.

[0024] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 A support strip 24 is provided on the face of the panel 21 and the base 1. The support strip 24 extends from one end of the hinge seat 22 along the edge contour of the flip cover 2 to the other end of the hinge seat 22. When the flip cover 2 is closed to the top surface of the base 1, the support strip 24 abuts against the top surface of the base 1, so that a closed space is formed between the flip cover 2 and the base 1.

[0025] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 4A film positioning assembly 25 is provided on the facing surfaces of the panel 21 and the base 1. The film positioning assembly 25 is located within the area enclosed by the support strip 24, and the film positioning assembly 25 positions and fixes the film assembly 3. When the flip cover 2 is closed on the top surface of the base 1, the film positioning assembly 25 positions and fixes the film assembly 3, so that the film assembly 3 is suspended above the electronic product to be covered and is vertically aligned with the electronic product. Specifically, the film positioning assembly 25 includes a first positioning post 251, a second positioning post 252, and a hook post 253. The first positioning post 251 and the second positioning post 252 are both located at one end of the panel 21 where the hinge seat 22 is located. The hook post 253 is arranged horizontally along the width direction of the panel 21. It is located on the panel 21 at the end away from the hinge seat 22 and between the first positioning post 251 and the second positioning post 252. The line connecting the hook post 253, the first positioning post 251, and the second positioning post 252 forms a triangle. A hook block 2531 protrudes from the side of the hook post 253 away from the first and second positioning posts 251. The membrane assembly 3 includes a positioning film 31, a tempered glass film 32, and a release film 33. The tempered glass film 32 is adhered to the surface of the positioning film 31 and is located in the middle of the positioning film 31. The release film 33 is adhered to the tempered glass film 31. On the side of the membrane 32 away from the positioning membrane 31, the positioning membrane 31 is provided with a first positioning hole 311 matching the size of the first positioning post 251, a second positioning hole 312 matching the size of the second positioning post 252, and a third positioning hole 313 for the hook post 253 to pass through. The arrangement of the first positioning hole 311, the second positioning hole 312, and the third positioning hole 313 on the membrane assembly 3 is consistent with the arrangement of the hook post 253, the first positioning post 251, and the second positioning post 252 on the panel 21. The positioning membrane 31 is fitted onto the first positioning post 251 through the first positioning hole 311 and through the second positioning hole 312. 12 is fitted onto the second positioning post 252. The positioning film 31 and the flip cover 2 are positioned relative to each other in the horizontal direction by the first positioning post 251 and the second positioning post 252. The positioning film 31 is inserted into the hook post 253 through the third positioning hole 313. The hook post 253 hooks the positioning film 31 through the hook block 2531. The hook post 253 cooperates with the first positioning post 251 and the second positioning post 252 to tighten the positioning film 31, thereby fixing the film assembly 3 as a whole. This allows the tempered glass film 32 to be suspended and fixed when the flip cover 2 is closed on the base 1, and the tempered glass film 32 to be accurately aligned with the screen of the electronic product.

[0026] Reference Figure 4 One end of the release film 33 is also connected to a handle film 34. The handle film 34 is bent towards the side of the release film 33 away from the tempered film 32 and extends to the other end of the release film 33. The base 1 is provided with a through-hole 14 that connects to the positioning groove 11 at the end away from the groove 12. When the flip cover 2 is closed on the top surface of the base 1, the handle film 34 passes through the through-hole 14 and extends out of the flip cover 2. The release film 33 is peeled off from the tempered film 32 during the film application process through the handle film 34.

[0027] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 Furthermore, a protrusion 15 is provided on the top surface of the base 1. The protrusion 15 is positioned between the first positioning post 251 and the second positioning post 252 when the base 1 and the flip cover 2 are closed. When the flip cover 2 is closed on the top surface of the base 1, the protrusion 15 presses against the positioning film 31 and presses the positioning film 31 tightly onto the panel 21, further fixing the film assembly 3. This makes it less likely for the film assembly 3 to detach from the film positioning assembly 25 during the film application process, reducing the impact on the positioning accuracy of the film assembly 3 and the product to be filmed. In addition, the protrusion 15 presses against the film assembly 3, making it more convenient to separate the release film 33 from the tempered film 32.

[0028] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The panel 21 has a slot 211 that penetrates the panel 21 and is within the area enclosed by the support strip 24. The slot 211 is aligned with the positioning groove 11 and its extension length is the same as that of the positioning groove 11. The positioning film 31 covers the slot 211. The slot 211 allows the user to press the film assembly 3 by hand, thereby deforming the positioning film 31 and pressing the tempered glass film 32 onto the screen of the electronic product for film application.

[0029] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2Furthermore, the flip cover 2 is equipped with a lock head, and the base 1 is equipped with a fastener that cooperates with the lock head. The flip cover 2 and the base 1 are fixed together by the lock head engaging with the fastener. Specifically, the lock head includes an elastic piece 26, which is vertically positioned on the side of the panel 21 facing the base 1. A protrusion 27 protrudes from one end of the elastic piece 26. The bottom surface of the protrusion 27 is a first inclined surface that slopes upward from the side of the elastic piece 26, and the top surface of the protrusion 27 is... The second inclined surface, which is initially inclined downward from the side of the elastic piece 26, includes an insertion groove 16 recessed on the top surface of the base 1 and a fastening groove 17 recessed on the side wall of the insertion groove 16. The insertion groove 16 is for the elastic piece 26 to pass through, and the fastening groove 17 is for the protrusion 27 to pass through. When the flip cover 2 is closed to the top surface of the base 1, the elastic piece 26 passes into the insertion groove 16, and the protrusion 27 passes into the fastening groove 17. The fastening groove 17 limits the fastening body to lock and fix the flip cover 2 to the base 1. Since the protrusion 27 is provided with a first inclined surface and a second inclined surface, when the flip cover 2 is closed onto the base 1, the edge of the latching groove 17 presses against the first inclined surface, causing the elastic piece 26 to be deformed and thus allowing the elastic piece 26 to pass into the insertion groove 16. When the protrusion 27 is aligned with the latching groove 17, the elastic piece 26 is reset, allowing the latch to pass into the insertion groove. When unlocking, by forcefully flipping the flip cover 2 away from the base 1, the upper edge of the latching groove 17 presses against the second inclined surface, causing the elastic piece 26 to deform. The protrusion 27 disengages from the latching groove 17, thus unlocking the flip cover 2 and the base 1. The locking of the flip cover 2 and the base 1 facilitates transportation and makes it less likely for the flip cover 2 to be flipped up and down during film application, affecting the film application.

[0030] Reference Figure 3 Furthermore, the top surface of the base 1 is recessed in the bottom surface of the through groove with an arc groove 18. The arc groove 18 connects to the positioning groove 11 and allows a person's fingers to be inserted into the positioning groove 11, making it convenient to remove the electronic product from the positioning groove 11.

[0031] The implementation principle of the flip-type screen protector for electronic products disclosed in this application is as follows: the positioning groove 11 provided on the base 1 positions the electronic product on the base 1. The flip cover 2 is hinged to the base 1 to fix the relative position of the flip cover 2 to the base 1. The film positioning component 25 provided on the flip cover 2 positions the film component 31 3, so that when the flip cover 2 is closed on the base 1, the relative position of the film component 3 and the electronic product is fixed. This makes it easier for the film to avoid misalignment with the electronic product during the application process, making the application operation simple. Furthermore, the flip cover 2 is designed to cover the top surface of the base 1, forming a closed structure that seals the film component 3 and the electronic product between the base 1 and the flip cover 2. This helps to isolate dust and reduce dust adsorption between the film and the screen of the electronic product during the application process.

[0032] Although embodiments of this application have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of this application, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
