Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an LED optical system, in particular to an LED optical system forming a uniform square light spot, and belongs to the field of ultraviolet curing technology. Background technique [0002] There are many methods of applying optical systems to form a uniform rectangular spot on the market. According to different application requirements, they can be roughly divided into the following categories: 1) The uniformity of the rectangular spot is required to be extremely high, and the projection distance of the spot is relatively far, which can reach beyond 2 meters. Therefore, the complex optical system is used to mix and condense the light emitted by the LED light source through multiple refraction and reflections to form a uniform rectangular spot. This method is mostly used in the optical system of projectors, and the optical efficiency is low. High, higher requirements on production technology; 2) Higher optical efficiency is requi...

[0002] There are many methods of applying optical systems to form a uniform rectangular spot on the market. According to different application requirements, they can be roughly divided into the following categories: 1) The uniformity of the rectangular spot is required to be extremely high, and the projection distance of the spot is relatively far, which can reach beyond 2 meters. Therefore, the complex optical system is used to mix and condense the light emitted by the LED light source through multiple refraction and reflections to form a uniform rectangular spot. This method is mostly used in the optical system of projectors, and the optical efficiency is low. High, higher requirements on production technology; 2) Higher optical efficiency is required, and the projection distance is not far, mostly within 0.5 meters, so use a simple secondary optical design to equip each LED with a lens or reflective cup to convert the light source All the light rays are collected within the rectangular spot, and the geometric shape of the optical interface of the optical device is designed according to the irradiation distance to form a uniform rectangular spot. This solution is mostly used in the UV curing process on the product line. Relatively speaking, the process of this optical system is still It is a bit complicated, and the price is a bit high; 3) The optical system needs to be simpler and the price is cheaper, so you can directly arrange multiple LED point light sources into a square array, and then directly irradiate the illuminated surface, and the projection distance of the light spot is very close , within about 50 mm, this solution is mostly used for UV curing systems on automatic printing machines in the printing industry, and the spot uniformity of this solution is slightly worse
