Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Material tape systems in prior art lack efficiency and reliability in handling, process stability, and resource management, often requiring additional adhesive tapes for connections and resulting in complex, time-consuming operations.
Innovation Solution
A material tape system with a backing tape, a fixing adhesive tape, and a connecting adhesive tape, where the fixing adhesive tape is detachably connected to the backing tape, allowing the connecting adhesive surface to be exposed for selective use, enabling easy connection of multiple tapes without additional materials and enhancing mechanical robustness.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If additional adhesive tapes are used for connections, then connection reliability is improved, but device complexity and handling difficulty increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the fixing function and connecting function into a single adhesive tape by providing a connecting section with connecting adhesive that extends beyond the fixing section. This merging eliminates the need for separate fixing and connecting tapes, reducing system complexity while maintaining connection reliability through the integrated design.
Solution Approach 2:
The adhesive tape is designed to perform multiple functions: it both fixes the spliced section in place and provides connecting surfaces for joining to other tapes. The connecting section with its exposed connecting adhesive serves as a universal interface that can connect to various surfaces, making the tape multi-functional and eliminating the need for additional specialized components.
2Reliability
If additional adhesive tapes are used for connections, then connection reliability is improved, but handling ease deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
By merging the fixing and connecting functions into one tape, the number of handling operations is reduced. The operator only needs to handle one tape instead of multiple separate tapes, significantly improving ease of operation while the integrated connecting section ensures reliable connections are achieved.
Solution Approach 2:
The connecting adhesive is pre-applied and exposed on the connecting section before the splicing operation. This preliminary preparation means the connecting surface is ready for immediate use, eliminating the need for additional preparation steps and making the splicing process faster and easier to handle.
3Productivity
If connecting adhesive surface is always exposed, then connection speed is improved, but material waste increases
Solution Approach 1:
The connecting adhesive is exposed only in the specific connecting section area where it is needed for joining, rather than being exposed across the entire tape surface. This localized exposure minimizes adhesive material waste while ensuring the connecting surface is ready for immediate connection, maintaining connection speed.
Solution Approach 2:
The adhesive tape is segmented into different functional sections: a fixing section with fixing adhesive for attachment to the substrate, and a connecting section with connecting adhesive for joining to other tapes. This segmentation allows the connecting adhesive to be exposed only where needed, reducing waste while maintaining connection readiness and speed.

AI summary
A material tape system having a backing tape having a first end section and a second end section, a fixing adhesive tape detachably connected to the first end section of the backing tape on a first side of the backing tape, and a first connecting adhesive tape connected to the first end section of the backing tape on a second side of the backing tape that is opposite the first side of the backing tape, wherein the fixing adhesive tape and the first connecting adhesive tape are connected to the backing tape in such a way that, when the fixing adhesive tape is connected to the backing tape, a connecting adhesive surface of the first connecting adhesive tape is covered, and, when the fixing adhesive tape is detached from the backing tape, the connecting adhesive surface of the first connecting adhesive tape is exposed.
