The working principle of the present invention:


Specifically, during use, firstly clean the phone screen and the protective film 8, then adjust the four moving blocks 4 to the appropriate positions, hold the protective film 8 and place it between the two limiting rings 7, so that the rear end of the protective film 8 is completely in contact with the front end of the auxiliary ring 17 and the front end of the suction plate 21; the two sealing strips are located in the positioning opening and placing opening 18, then rotate the two pulling shafts 22, the pulling shaft 22 gradually moves backward as it rotates, two suction plates 21 move backward along the suction cup cavity, forming a negative pressure between the two suction plates 21 and the protective film 8, thereby sucking the film 8; manually remove the sealing strip and remove the protective tape, hold the film application box 1 and approach the phone screen. After that, press the lower end of the phone against the lower compression piece 16, the compression piece 16 will be compressed and deform towards the film application box 1, then press the upper compression piece 16 by hand, which will compress and deform towards the film application box 1 until the upper and lower ends of the phone are located between the two compression pieces 16. At this point, the two compression pieces 16 can be rebounded and clamp the phone, making it more stable.


Gradually bring the film application box 1 closer to the phone screen, at this time, the left and right ends of the phone are synchronously pressed and in contact with the inclined surface 19; as the film application box 1 continuously approaches the phone, the corresponding compression blocks 15 are pressed on the left and right ends of the phone, and multiple compression blocks 15 are rebounded to clamp the phone until the phone screen contacts the front end of the protective film 8; after the film application box 1 is completely installed with the phone, press the back end of the protective film 8 by hand through the auxiliary circular hole, in order to make the middle of the protective film 8 adhered on the phone screen, preventing bubbles from appearing during the applying process, then make each moving block 4 slide freely along the corresponding sliding groove hole 3, each auxiliary board 11 can slide and press the protective film 8 while moving, making it tightly applied with the phone screen and preventing the appearance of bubbles.


After completing the film application on the phone, rotate the two pulling shafts 22 in reverse, at this time, the two suction plates 21 move forward until the two suction cups 20 no longer sucked with the film application 8, then slowly remove the phone from the film application box 1. When it is difficult to remove the phone from the film application box 1, push each pulling rod 12 forward, the spring 13 is stretched, the auxiliary board 11 applies force to the phone screen, allowing the phone to separate from the film application box 1 quickly. In this way, each component gradually returns to original state and wait for the next use. This not only makes the phone film more tightly, but also less prone to make bubbles, making the film application more stable and efficient.
