Threadlike Adhesive Feeding With Guided Tension for Accurate Sticking
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing adhesive sticking apparatuses struggle to accurately and smoothly apply threadlike adhesives without a release liner due to their strong self-adhesive force, leading to issues such as feeding difficulties and reduced sticking accuracy.
Innovation Solution
A threadlike adhesive sticking apparatus with an assist mechanism that applies an external force in the feeding direction and a pressing unit to smoothly feed and press the adhesive against an object, using rollers and a nozzle to manage tension and positioning.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Strength
If threadlike adhesive without release liner is used, then adhesive strength is improved, but feeding difficulty increases and sticking accuracy deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
A guide roller is introduced as an intermediary component between the adhesive reel and the sticking point. The guide roller applies controlled tension to the adhesive strand, preventing it from snapping back or tangling while maintaining the strong self-adhesive properties of the release liner-less adhesive. This mediator enables smooth feeding and accurate positioning without compromising adhesive strength.
2Strength
If threadlike adhesive without release liner is used, then adhesive strength is improved, but sticking accuracy deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The guide roller system provides real-time feedback on adhesive tension and positioning. By controlling the tension applied by the guide roller, the system ensures the adhesive is fed at the correct speed and position, maintaining sticking accuracy while preserving the strong adhesive properties of the release liner-less formulation.
3Ease of operation
If adhesive tape with release liner is used, then feeding ease is improved, but adhesive strength deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The invention extracts and removes the release liner from the adhesive structure, using only the adhesive strand itself. This eliminates the need for a separate release liner while maintaining feeding ease through the guide roller tension control system. The adhesive strand is fed directly without the interfering presence of a release liner, achieving both strong adhesion and easy feeding.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
Enables smooth and accurate application of threadlike adhesives to any path, preventing peeling, cutting, and entanglement, while maintaining high sticking accuracy.
Implementation Method 1
since the threadlike adhesive wound without a release liner has a strong self-adhesive force, the threadlike adhesive cannot be successfully fed out
Implementation Method 2
presses a threadlike adhesive wound around a winding body against an object while feeding out the threadlike adhesive
