Solution Overview

Problem

The traditional film application process for smartphones often results in bubble formation between the film and the screen, affecting the appearance and touch sensitivity due to manual peeling and pressing, leading to poor application effectiveness.

Innovation Solution

An integrated dust-free reverse film application box with a folding structure and snap-fit connections allows for sealed space application, featuring a protective film with a pull tab and positioning holes for smooth air expulsion and easy operation.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If manual peeling and pressing is used to apply the film, then the film can be applied to the screen, but bubbles form between the film and the screen affecting appearance and touch sensitivity

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemanual operation simplicityVSAvoidfilm application quality
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a specialized application box as an intermediary device that provides a controlled environment for film application. The box includes a positioning structure with guide slots and pressing mechanisms that mediate between the user's manual operation and the film application process, ensuring proper alignment and bubble-free adhesion without requiring complex manual techniques

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The application box is divided into functional segments including a positioning module with guide slots, a pressing module with rolling elements, and a sealing module. Each segment performs a specific function: positioning the film correctly, expelling air bubbles through controlled pressing, and sealing the application area. This segmentation allows complex film application to be broken down into manageable, automated steps

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Ease of operation

If the film is applied in an open environment, then the operation is convenient, but dust and air bubbles interfere with the application process

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveoperation accessibilityVSAvoiddust and air bubble interference
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The application box creates a controlled, enclosed environment that isolates the film application process from the external atmosphere. The box seals around the phone and film, creating a dust-free zone where air bubbles can be systematically expelled through the positioning and pressing mechanisms without external contamination interfering with the application

Inventive Principle:
Principle #39Inert atmosphere (Inert environment)

3Manufacturing precision

If a sealed application box is used, then dust-free application is achieved, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedust-free application qualityVSAvoidapplication box structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The application box is designed as a universal device that can accommodate different phone models and film types through adjustable positioning mechanisms. The same basic structure with guide slots, pressing elements, and sealing components serves multiple functions: positioning, dust exclusion, bubble expulsion, and sealing, reducing the need for model-specific complex structures

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
