  • Publication number: 20240149579
    Abstract: The embodiment of the present invention discloses a bonding device. The bonding device includes a main body and a lamination part connected to the main body. The lamination part is configured to press and bond an adhesive layer to an apparatus to be bonded, and includes a lamination main portion and a squeeze sub-portion connected to the lamination main portion. Along a lamination direction perpendicular to the lamination part, a width of the squeeze sub-portion is less than a width of the lamination main portion. The present invention, by using the squeeze sub-portion of the lamination part with a smaller width, more conveniently squeezes and bonds the adhesive layer, which facilitates mechanized bonding, improves a bonding efficiency, and reduces a labor cost while guaranteeing a bonding effect.
