Film applicator

Abstract

A film applicator, comprising a film applicator main body (10) and an operating member (20), wherein the film applicator main body is provided with an accommodating groove (11); the operating member is slidably connected to the film applicator main body, the operating member is provided with a mounting position (21), and a film pressing member (22) for exhausting air during film application is obliquely arranged in the mounting position; and the operating member can drive the film pressing member to move, such that when sliding relative to the film applicator main body, the operating member drives the film pressing member to move relative to the film applicator main body. By means of the oblique design of the film pressing member relative to the operating member, the contact area between the film pressing member and a protective film is increased, thereby achieving smooth air exhausting and increasing the success rate of film application. In particular, the problem of air bubbles caused by a small contact area of a roller assembly is reduced, thereby improving the quality of film application, and avoiding damage to the protective film caused by failed film application.

Description

A type of screen protector applicator Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of electronic device accessories, and in particular to a screen protector applicator. Background Technology

[0002] Electronic devices have become indispensable communication tools in people's lives. However, due to the frequent use of electronic devices, the screens of electronic devices are prone to getting dirty or even scratched, and people's demand for mobile phone screen protectors has also increased rapidly.

[0003] Later, a type of screen protector applicator appeared on the market, which includes a positioning box body with a placement slot and a positioning frame movably mounted on the positioning box body. A roller assembly is also slidably mounted on the positioning box body. The roller assembly is horizontally mounted on the positioning box body, and the protective film is applied by sliding the roller assembly. This method of air venting by horizontally mounting the roller assembly results in a small contact area between the roller assembly and the protective film during rolling. This causes air bubbles to form on the curved edges during the application process, leading to application failure and the need to reapply the film. However, protective films are generally meant to be applied in one go and cannot be reused after being peeled off, resulting in waste.

[0004] Therefore, a new technical solution needs to be researched to address the above problems. Technical solutions

[0005] In view of this, the present invention addresses the deficiencies of the prior art, and its main objective is to provide a film applicator that, through the inclined design of the pressing component relative to the operating component, increases the contact area between the pressing component and the protective film, thereby achieving smooth air venting and improving the success rate of film application; in particular, it reduces the problem of air bubbles caused by the small contact area of ​​the roller assembly, thus improving the quality of film application and avoiding damage to the protective film due to application failure.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A screen protector applicator includes an applicator body and an operating component; the applicator body is provided with a receiving groove for accommodating an electronic device to which a screen protector is to be applied; the receiving groove extends along the length of the applicator body.

[0008] The operating component is slidably connected to the body of the film applicator. The operating component is provided with a mounting position, and a pressure member for venting air during the film application process is inclinedly arranged in the mounting position. The operating component can drive the pressure member to move, so that when the operating component slides relative to the body of the film applicator, it drives the pressure member to move relative to the body of the film applicator.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment, the inclination angle of the pressure plate component relative to the operating component is 10°-30°, so that the pressure plate component is in its longest position when rolling the film, thereby increasing the contact range of the pressure plate component, so as to improve the stability and success rate of subsequent film application.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment, the upper outer edge of the film applicator body is further provided with a first sliding part extending along the film applicator body; the lower end of the operating member is provided with a second sliding part for cooperating with the first sliding part. The operating member is slidably connected to the film applicator body, and the second sliding part is slidably connected to the first sliding part. Through the cooperation between the first sliding part and the second sliding part, the operating member can move back and forth in a preset direction, thereby improving the success rate of film application.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment, one of the first sliding part and the second sliding part is a slide rail and the other is a slide groove.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment, the outer side of the pressing member and the mounting position are provided with a clearance space to allow the pressing member to rotate, so that the pressing member can roll the protective film when it moves with the pusher.

[0013] As a preferred embodiment, a first mounting position and a second mounting position are respectively provided on opposite sides of the mounting position, and the pressing member has a pressing part and a first mounting part and a second mounting part extending from both ends of the pressing part, and the first mounting part and the second mounting part are respectively installed and positioned in the first mounting position and the second mounting position.

[0014] As a preferred embodiment, the pressing component is a roller. The roller is designed such that the cross-sectional area of ​​the pressing part is larger than the cross-sectional area of ​​the first mounting part and the second mounting part, ensuring that the pressing part contacts the surface of the protective film first.

[0015] As a preferred embodiment, the main body of the film applicator is also provided with a limiting block for restricting the displacement of the product to be applied, so as to prevent the product from becoming loose and affecting the application of the film.

[0016] As a preferred embodiment, the back side of the applicator body is provided with several reinforcing ribs to enhance the structural stability of the applicator.

[0017] As a preferred embodiment, the receiving groove is further provided with a clearance groove for avoiding the lens position of the product to be coated, and the clearance groove extends vertically through the body of the coating applicator.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, this invention has significant advantages and beneficial effects. Specifically, as can be seen from the above technical solution, it mainly achieves this through the structural design and coordination of the film applicator body and the operating component. The operating component is provided with an mounting position, and a film pressing component is inclinedly arranged within the mounting position. The operating component can drive the film pressing component to move, thus causing the operating component to move relative to the film applicator body during the sliding process, making the film pressing component roll towards the protective film. Due to the inclined design of the film pressing component relative to the operating component, the contact area between the film pressing component and the protective film is increased, achieving smooth air venting and improving the success rate of film application. In particular, it reduces the problem of air bubbles caused by the small contact area of ​​the roller assembly, thereby improving the quality of film application and avoiding damage to the protective film due to application failure.

[0040] The operating component 20 is slidably connected to the film applicator body 10. The operating component 20 is provided with a mounting position 21. A pressure member 22 for venting air during the film application process is inclinedly arranged in the mounting position 21. The operating component 20 can drive the pressure member 22 to move, so that when the operating component 20 slides relative to the film applicator body 10, it drives the pressure member 22 to move relative to the film applicator body 10.

[0041] Preferably, the inclination angle of the pressure member 22 relative to the operating member 20 is 10°-30°, so that the pressure member 22 is in its longest position when rolling the film, thereby increasing the contact range of the pressure member 22, so as to improve the stability and success rate of subsequent film application.

[0042] Preferably, the pressing component 22 is a roller. The roller is designed such that the cross-sectional area of ​​the pressing part 223 is larger than the cross-sectional area of ​​the first mounting part 221 and the second mounting part 222, ensuring that the pressing part 223 contacts the surface of the protective film first.

[0043] The lower end of the operating member 20 is provided with a second sliding part 23 for cooperating with the first sliding part 15. The operating member 20 is slidably connected to the film applicator body 10, and the second sliding part 23 is slidably connected to the first sliding part 15. Through the cooperation between the first sliding part 15 and the second sliding part 23, the operating member 20 can move back and forth in a preset direction, thereby improving the success rate of film application. Preferably, one of the first sliding part 15 and the second sliding part 23 is a slide rail, and the other is a slide groove.

[0044] Preferably, a clearance position 24 is formed between the outer side of the pressing member 22 and the mounting position 21 to provide rotation space for the pressing member 22, so that the pressing member 22 can roll the protective film when it moves with the pusher.

[0046] The general usage method of this embodiment is described in detail below:

[0047] The electronic device to be coated is installed and positioned in the receiving slot 11. The tempered glass film is installed (so that the release film is suspended on the positioning post 16). Then, the operating member 20 is pushed from top to bottom. The second sliding part 23 of the operating member 20 slides along the first sliding part 15 on the body of the film applicator 10. The roller follows the sliding of the operating member 20, so that the film application part rolls on the surface of the tempered glass film. Then, the operating member 20 is pushed from bottom to top to return to the reset position. Finally, the electronic device is removed and the release film on the tempered glass film is peeled off.

[0048] The key design feature of this invention lies in the structural design and coordination of the film applicator body and the operating component. The operating component has a mounting position, within which a pressure-pressing component is inclinedly positioned. The operating component can drive the pressure-pressing component to move, thus causing the pressure-pressing component to move relative to the film applicator body during sliding, rolling the pressure-pressing component towards the protective film. Due to the inclined design of the pressure-pressing component relative to the operating component, the contact area between the pressure-pressing component and the protective film is increased, ensuring smooth air venting and improving the success rate of film application. In particular, it reduces the problem of air bubbles caused by the small contact area of ​​the roller assembly, thereby improving the quality of film application and preventing damage to the protective film due to application failure.

[0049] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not constitute any limitation on the technical scope of the present invention. Therefore, any minor modifications, equivalent changes, and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention shall still fall within the scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
