Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of product curing technology, and in particular relates to a modular UV curing component and its usage method. Background Technology

[0002] The effective energy of ultraviolet light in a UV curing lamp is crucial for processing efficiency. For example, according to CN201080059024.4, a UV LED lamp assembly may include multiple UV LED-based optical components arranged around a workpiece tube into which the workpiece is movably inserted. The workpiece tube may be filled with an inert gas and may be formed of quartz or a UV-transparent material. One or more curved back reflectors may be placed on the opposite side of the workpiece tube, opposite the LED assembly, relative to the LED assembly. The curved back reflectors are configured to collect UV light escaping from the workpiece tube and refocus it onto the other side of the workpiece. The curvature of the back reflectors determines the working distance between the reflectors and the workpiece tube. The UV LED-based lamps outlined here can be used to cure coatings inside (or outside) a curing tube where space is very limited and the environment can be blew in oxygen to improve curing performance. Due to the availability of modern diodes, chemical compositions highly sensitive to the UVA band are preferred; however, with technological advancements (shorter LED wavelengths and increased output power), UV LED-based lamps can be used for a wider range of chemical compositions and therefore more applications.

[0003] While the above-mentioned scheme has the advantages mentioned above, its effective utilization rate of ultraviolet energy from UV curing lamps still needs to be further improved; that is, the processing efficiency of the above-mentioned scheme is low.

[0004] Secondly, after the UV lamp is turned on, the ineffective heat loss energy is more than 50J per second. In order to prevent the ineffective heat from causing a temperature rise inside the machine, for example, CN201620026095.9, a UV lamp with water cooling and air cooling, includes a fan, a water tank and a lamp box. The water tank is composed of a base plate and a water tank sealed together. LED lamp beads are installed on the front of the base plate and sealed to the water tank on the back. The length of the water tank is less than that of the base plate. The water tank is installed on the lamp box. The lamp box is characterized by having a U-shaped groove on the water tank for cooling water circulation. The two ends of the lamp box are sealed with caps. One end of the cap has inlet and outlet holes that match the inlet and outlet of the U-shaped groove, two wiring holes and an exhaust port. In this design, the substrate and water tank are connected to form a streamlined UV lamp structure. Cooling water directly contacts the back of the heated substrate, significantly increasing the contact area and improving heat exchange efficiency. Simultaneously, a fan draws air from the exhaust vent, while air enters through the intake vent, flowing within the lamp housing to remove heat and simultaneously cool the water tank. This combined use of air and water cooling effectively lowers the UV lamp's temperature, enabling more stable and efficient operation, extending the substrate's lifespan, and reducing costs.

[0005] Although the above solution uses both air cooling and water cooling, the air cooling method has low cooling efficiency for the light box and cannot achieve efficient cooling of the internal space of the light box and the workpiece. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to address the above-mentioned problems by providing a modular UV curing component and its usage method that can solve the aforementioned technical issues.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0008] This modular UV curing assembly includes an installation platform and a UV lamp box installed on the installation platform. The UV lamp box is provided with an air duct that blows air into the UV lamp box. The UV lamp box includes a plurality of curing lamps distributed in different dimensions. Each curing lamp includes a plurality of spaced-apart light emitters. At least a portion of the light emitters spaced-apart overlap the emitted light rays. The air duct is provided on at least one of the curing lamps.

[0009] The UV lamp box is provided with several air ducts that blow air into the UV lamp box.

[0010] In the above-mentioned modular UV curing assembly, at least one of the curing lamps is located on top of the remaining curing lamps, and the curing lamp at the top is provided with a plurality of air ducts that are inclined outward from top to bottom.

[0011] In the modular UV curing assembly described above, the remaining curing lamps are located below the circumferential side of the top curing lamp.

[0012] In the above-mentioned modular UV curing assembly, the light emitters are distributed in a straight line, or the light emitters are distributed in a ring, and the emitted light rays of 4-N light emitters distributed at intervals overlap.

[0013] In the above-mentioned modular UV curing assembly, the light emitter has a 30° emission angle, and the emitted light rays from the six sequentially distributed light emitters overlap.

[0014] In the aforementioned modular UV curing assembly, the light emitter has a 60° emission angle, and the emitted light rays from the 13 sequentially distributed light emitters overlap.

[0015] In the aforementioned modular UV curing assembly, the curing lamp has a polygonal structure, and the air duct is provided on each side of the bottom of the curing lamp.

[0016] In the aforementioned modular UV curing assembly, the air ducts located on the same side of the bottom of the curing lamp are parallel to each other.

[0017] In the aforementioned modular UV curing assembly, the mounting platform includes a UV assembly carrier plate, which is mounted on a pull-out base plate via a sliding structure. The pull-out base plate is equipped with a carrier plate translation driver that drives the UV assembly carrier plate to move in translation. The pull-out base plate is positioned between two parallel mounting beams and is fixed relative to the mounting beams in the length direction of the mounting beams.

[0018] In the above-mentioned modular UV curing assembly, the UV lamp box is fixed to the pull-out base plate by a UV mounting bracket. The pull-out base plate is provided with a lamp box door assembly located at one end of the sliding stroke of the pull-out base plate. The pull-out base plate is provided with a control box located at the other end of the sliding stroke. The control box is connected to the curing lamp and the carrier plate translation driver.

[0019] In the aforementioned modular UV curing assembly, several walking components are rotatably connected to opposite sides of the pull-out base plate. Guide grooves are provided on the opposite inner sides of the two mounting and fixing beams. All the walking components located on one side of the pull-out base plate are placed in one of the guide grooves, and all the walking components located on the other side of the pull-out base plate are placed in the other guide groove. When the pull-out base plate is no longer fixed in the length direction, the walking components can move in the guide grooves.

[0020] In the aforementioned modular UV curing assembly, the modular UV curing assembly also includes a temperature sensor for detecting the temperature inside the UV lamp box.

[0021] This application also provides a method for using a modular UV curing component, the method comprising the following steps:

[0022] S1. A movable UV component carrier plate extends at least part of itself outside the UV lamp box; a product to be cured is fixed on a product fixture on the UV component carrier plate extending outside the UV lamp box; and the UV component carrier plate is driven to move the product to be cured into the UV lamp box.

[0023] The UV lamp boxes in S2 and S1 perform UV treatment on the product to be cured. During and / or after the UV treatment, air cooling is used to cool the internal space of the UV lamp box.

[0024] S3. After the UV treatment is completed in step S2, the UV component carrier plate moves the cured product to outside the UV lamp box.

[0025] In the above-mentioned method of using the modular UV curing component, in step S2, water cooling is used to cool the UV lamp box.

[0026] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this application are:

[0027] The overlapping of the emitted light from multiple light sources creates a high overlap rate, which can compensate for the fact that the curing lamp cannot achieve ideal working efficiency due to the attenuation of the irradiated light from a single light source, and can effectively improve the effective energy utilization rate of the curing lamp.

[0028] The use of multiple air ducts can cool the inside of the UV lamp box, the fixture inside the UV lamp box, and the workpieces on the fixture. This can significantly improve cooling efficiency, thereby shortening the waiting time for the next workpiece to enter the UV lamp box during sequential processing, and thus greatly improving production efficiency.

[0029] By integrating the UV light box into the installation platform, it is easier to disassemble, replace, and maintain, thereby improving efficiency. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0050] The following are specific embodiments of the invention, which are described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The technical solution of the invention will be further described, but the invention is not limited to these embodiments.

[0051] Example 1

[0052] like Figure 1 and Figure 8 As shown, this modular UV curing component includes an installation platform g. Specifically, the installation platform g in this embodiment includes a UV component carrier plate g1. The UV component carrier plate g1 is mounted on a pull-out base plate g2 via a sliding structure. A carrier plate translation driver g3 is provided on the pull-out base plate g2 to drive the UV component carrier plate g1 to translate.

[0053] like Figure 1-2 As shown, the modular UV component mounting structure also includes a travel limiting mechanism. The travel limiting mechanism includes a first fixed limiting member g20 fixed on the pull-out base plate g2 and located at the starting point of the travel of the UV component carrier plate g1, and a second fixed limiting member g21 fixed on the pull-out base plate g2 and located at the ending point of the travel of the UV component carrier plate g1. A second movable limiting member g210 is provided on the UV component carrier plate g1 and is on the same straight line as the second fixed limiting member g21.

[0054] In this embodiment, the carrier plate translation driver g3 is either pneumatically driven or hydraulically driven. Compared with belt drive, its advantages are: a simpler structure, eliminating the need for transmission devices such as belts and gears, thus simplifying the system structure, reducing failures and losses of transmission components, and saving space; higher transmission efficiency, as pneumatic and hydraulic drives directly transfer energy to the actuator, achieving higher transmission efficiency; and greater output torque, as pneumatic and hydraulic drives can control the output torque by adjusting the air or hydraulic pressure. In contrast, belt or gear drives are often limited and cannot flexibly adjust the output torque.

[0055] When the first fixed limiting member g20 contacts the UV component carrier g1, it indicates that the UV component carrier g1 is in the starting or moving reset position.

[0056] When the second movable limiter g210 moves with the UV component carrier g1 and contacts the second fixed limiter g21, it indicates that the UV component carrier g1 has moved to the end position of the stroke, at which point the carrier translation driver g3 stops driving.

[0057] The modular UV component mounting structure also includes two opposing and spaced mounting beams g4, with a pull-out base plate g2 positioned between the two mounting beams g4 and fixed relative to the mounting beams g4 along the length of the mounting beams g4.

[0058] Several walking components g25 are rotatably connected to opposite sides of the pull-out base plate g2. Guide grooves g40 are provided on the opposite inner sides of the two mounting and fixing beams g4. The guide grooves g40 are U-shaped grooves. All the walking components g25 on one side of the pull-out base plate g2 are placed in one guide groove g40, and all the walking components g25 on the other side of the pull-out base plate g2 are placed in the other guide groove g40. When the pull-out base plate g2 is no longer fixed in the length direction, the walking components g25 can move in the guide grooves g40.

[0059] Specifically, when the device restricting the movement of the pull-out base plate g2 is removed, the pull-out base plate g2 can slide along the length of the mounting and fixing beams g4 on both sides using the traveling member g25.

[0060] In this embodiment, the traveling component g25 is a roller or a bearing, which can cooperate with the guide groove g40 to slide relatively smoothly.

[0061] One end of the mounting beam g4 along its length is connected to the corresponding end of the pull-out base plate g2 via a first detachable fixing mechanism; the other end of the mounting beam g4 along its length is connected to the corresponding other end of the pull-out base plate g2 via a second detachable fixing mechanism.

[0062] The first detachable fixing mechanism includes: a fixing positioning block g41 is provided at one end of the mounting fixing beam g4 along the length direction, and the fixing positioning block g41 is fixedly connected to the corresponding end of the pull-out base plate g2 through a first fastener g42.

[0063] In this embodiment, the first fastener g42 is a fastening bolt, which fixes the mounting beam g4 and the pull-out base plate g2 by rotation. It can be other commonly used fasteners.

[0064] The second detachable fixing mechanism includes: a fixing limit block g43 is provided at the other end of the mounting beam g4, which is equipped with a fixing positioning block g41, and the fixing limit block g43 is fixedly connected to the corresponding end of the pull-out base plate g2.

[0065] like Figure 3-4 As shown, a stroke detection component g11 is provided on the UV component carrier plate g1, and a starting point sensor g22 and an ending point sensor g23 are provided on the pull-out base plate g2. The stroke detection component g11 and the starting point sensor g22 work together to detect that the UV component carrier plate g1 is at the starting point, and the stroke detection component g11 and the ending point sensor g23 work together to detect that the UV component carrier plate g1 is at the ending point.

[0066] When the UV module carrier plate g1 starts moving, after running for a period of time, the end point sensor g23 detects that the stroke detection element g11 has reached the detection range, and then controls the UV module carrier plate g1 to stop moving; similarly, when the starting point sensor g22 detects the stroke detection element g11, it means that the UV module carrier plate g1 has returned to the initial position and proceeds to the next process.

[0067] A driver housing space is formed between the UV component carrier plate g1 and the pull-out base plate g2. The carrier plate translation driver g3 is located in the driver housing space. Both ends of the carrier plate translation driver g3 are fixed to the pull-out base plate g2. The drive telescopic rod of the carrier plate translation driver g3 is connected to the UV component carrier plate g1.

[0068] In this embodiment, the carrier plate translation driver g3 is a pen-shaped cylinder, the main body of which is fixed on the pull-out base plate g2. The output rod is fixedly connected to the UV component carrier plate g1. During operation, the output rod drives the UV component carrier plate g1 to move back and forth in the length direction.

[0069] The UV module carrier plate g1 and the pull-out base plate g2 are slidably connected by a guide rail pair g24. The guide rail pair g24 improves the stability of the UV module carrier plate g1's back-and-forth movement and enhances the accuracy of the entire device.

[0070] like Figures 9-12As shown, a UV lamp box 2 is installed on the mounting platform g. The UV lamp box 2 includes several curing lamps d distributed along different dimensions. At least one curing lamp d is provided with an air duct f12 for blowing air into the UV lamp box 2. At least one curing lamp d is located on top of the remaining curing lamps d. The top curing lamp d is provided with several air ducts f12 that are distributed from top to bottom and outwards. The remaining curing lamps d are located below the circumferential side of the top curing lamp d. The dimensions here are described in terms of the XYZ three axes. For example, three parallel curing lamps d are distributed around the X-axis. Two of the three curing lamps d distributed around the X-axis are on the same horizontal plane, and the third curing lamp is triangularly distributed with the aforementioned two curing lamps (i.e., the top curing lamp d). One of the curing lamps d is distributed along the Y-axis.

[0071] The upward flow of heat, coupled with the downward-sloping airflow of the duct f12, forces the heat inside the UV lamp box 2 to dissipate to the surrounding area of ​​the mounting platform g. Due to the inclined design, when the airflow from the duct f12 blows downward, it reaches the curing lamp d at the top and then blows vertically downward. This process also helps dissipate heat from the cured product and the product fixture, shortening the cooling cycle of the cured product. The UV curing assembly in this embodiment also includes a temperature sensor 20 for detecting the temperature inside the UV lamp box 2. The temperature sensor 20 detects the temperature to control whether to initiate the cooling action.

[0072] Secondly, the curing lamp d has a polygonal structure, and each side of the bottom of the curing lamp d is provided with the aforementioned air duct f12. The air ducts f12 located on the same side of the bottom of the curing lamp d are parallel to each other. Specifically, the main body f1 with the air cavity f10 is installed in the vertical through hole inside the top curing lamp d. The air cavity f10 can be understood as a ring-shaped space, or as a space similar to an indoor space.

[0073] like Figures 9-12 As shown, the main body f1 includes a lower shell and an upper shell or upper cover plate that is sealed and fastened to the opening of the lower shell. At this time, the lower shell and the upper shell form a sealed air cavity f10, and the sealing method can be an annular sealing ring.

[0074] Regarding the installation and fixing method of the main body f1, the main body f1 can be fixed to the top of the UV lamp box 2 by the bracket f14. The bracket f14 is similar to an inverted Z-shape. The bracket f14 and the top surface of the UV lamp box 2 are connected by bolt pairs, and the bracket f14 and the top surface of the main body f1 are also connected by bolt pairs.

[0075] Of course, regarding the above-mentioned fixing method, the UV lamp box 2 in this embodiment is provided with a vertical through hole at the top, and the main body f1 is built into the vertical through hole.

[0076] Secondly, the air cavity f10 is connected to the air supply pipe f11, which in turn is connected to the air supply terminal, such as a blower or other air supply terminal.

[0077] As is well known, UV lamp boxes have UV lamps positioned at different angles on the top and on the lower side of the top for processing workpieces.

[0078] like Figures 9-12 As shown, in order to achieve efficient cooling, such as for the lamp box, workpiece and fixture, this embodiment is implemented by the following scheme: the main body f1 is provided with several air ducts f12 that are connected to the air cavity f10 and blow air downward into the UV lamp box 2.

[0079] By combining the air cavity f10 with several air ducts f12, cooling can be achieved for the inside of the UV lamp box 2, the fixture inside the UV lamp box 2, and the workpieces on the fixture. In terms of cooling efficiency, the cooling efficiency can be greatly improved, thereby shortening the waiting time for the later workpiece to enter the UV lamp box 2 when different workpieces are processed sequentially, thus greatly improving production efficiency.

[0080] Of course, there are multiple ways to set up the air duct f12 in this embodiment. For example, the air duct f12 can be set vertically, or it can be set at an angle. For example, the air duct f12 can be set at an angle of 45°.

[0081] In a preferred embodiment, the air duct f12 is distributed at an angle from top to bottom and outwards. This inclined distribution allows heat to be dissipated at an outward angle.

[0082] In a preferred embodiment, the air ducts f12 are located at the bottom of the main body f1, and the air ducts f12 encircle the bottom of the main body f1 to form a ring. Encircling the bottom can be understood as a circumferentially spaced distribution to improve cooling efficiency and uniformity. In this embodiment, the main body f1 has a polygonal structure, such as a hexagon or octagon. The structure of the main body f1 can be designed according to the shape of the actual workpiece, striving to make the structure of the main body f1 consistent with the polygonal structure of the workpiece to achieve uniform circumferential cooling. Several air ducts f12 are provided on each side of the bottom of the main body f1 to further improve cooling uniformity.

[0083] Secondly, several air ducts f12 located on the same side of the bottom of the main body f1 are parallel to each other. This design can prevent air ducts f12 on different sides from converging in the downward blowing path. That is, the above-mentioned method in this embodiment can ensure that each air duct f12 is not affected by adjacent air ducts f12 during the downward blowing process, thereby improving cooling efficiency.

[0084] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the bottom edge of the main body f1 is provided with an annular inclined surface f13, and the lower air outlet of the air duct f12 is located on the annular inclined surface f13. The design of the annular inclined surface f13 facilitates the drilling and manufacturing of the air duct f12, thereby improving the processing efficiency of the main body f1.

[0085] Secondly, the annular inclined surface f13 is formed by a series of inclined sub-slopes f130 connected sequentially. In the radial direction of the main body f1, the inclination direction of each inclined sub-slope f130 is from top to bottom and inward. Furthermore, the air duct f12 penetrates the bottom of the main body f1, and the lower air outlet of the air duct f12 is located on the inclined sub-slope f130. The several air ducts f12 penetrating from the inclined sub-slope f130 are parallel to each other. That is to say, several air ducts f12 penetrate each inclined sub-slope f130 to improve the cooling efficiency on different sides. These different sides can be understood as different sides of the workpiece, including different sides inside the UV lamp box 2, and also different sides of the workpiece fixture.

[0086] The axis of the air duct f12 is perpendicular to the inclined sub-slope f130 to improve the machining efficiency of the air duct f12.

[0087] Figure 10 The radiating dashed lines in the diagram represent a schematic diagram of air ducts f12 distributed on the same side with parallel air outlets.

[0088] Specifically, such as Figure 8 , Figures 13-19 As shown, each curing lamp d includes a plurality of spaced-apart light emitters d11, and at least a portion of the spaced-apart light emitters d11 emit light rays that overlap. The curing lamp d also includes a lamp body d1 with a light emitter mounting chamber d10. The lamp body d1 includes a heat dissipation main frame d01, which has a ring-shaped or rectangular structure, depending on the actual working environment.

[0089] For example, it includes a ring-shaped heat dissipation main frame and a straight rectangular ring-shaped heat dissipation main frame, with the ring-shaped heat dissipation main frame located at the top and the straight rectangular ring-shaped heat dissipation main frame located below at least a few sides of the ring-shaped heat dissipation main frame to form curing in multiple orientations.

[0090] like Figures 13-19 As shown, several light-emitting bodies d11 are installed in the light-emitting body mounting chamber d10 at intervals. The light-emitting bodies d11 are distributed in a straight line or in a ring, depending on the structure of the heat dissipation frame d01.

[0091] The emitted light rays from 4-N light emitters d11, arranged at intervals, overlap. The overlap of emitted light rays from multiple light emitters d11 creates a high overlap rate, which can compensate for the fact that the curing lamp cannot achieve ideal working efficiency due to the attenuation of the illumination light from a single light emitter, and can effectively improve the effective energy utilization rate of the curing lamp.

[0092] like Figure 18 As shown, in the first case, the light emitter d11 has a emission angle of 30°, and the emitted light rays from 4-8 light emitters d11 arranged in sequence overlap. A preferred embodiment is that the emitted light rays from 6 light emitters d11 arranged in sequence overlap.

[0093] like Figure 19 As shown, the second type: the light emitter d11 has a 60° emission angle, and the emitted light rays of 10-16 light emitters d11 arranged in sequence overlap. The preferred embodiment is: the emitted light rays of 13 light emitters d11 arranged in sequence overlap.

[0094] like Figures 13-19 As shown, a light outlet d12 is provided on the lamp body d1, and the light-emitting side of the light-emitting body d11 faces the light outlet d12. The light outlet d12 is a rectangular elongated opening. A closure d13 made of transparent or light-transmitting material is installed in the light outlet d12. The closure d13 is, for example, a quartz rod.

[0095] The cross-section of the closure d13 can be either a semi-circular surface or a cylindrical surface. It acts similarly to a convex lens. Of course, the closure d13 can also be a rectangular cross-section.

[0096] The method of using the modular UV curing component in this embodiment includes the following steps:

[0097] S1. The movable UV component carrier plate g1 extends at least part of itself outside the UV lamp box 2, the product to be cured is fixed on the product fixture of the UV component carrier plate g1 extending outside the UV lamp box 2, and the UV component carrier plate g1 is driven to move the product to be cured into the UV lamp box 2.

[0098] UV lamp box 2 in S2 and S1 performs UV treatment on the product to be cured. During and / or after the UV treatment, air cooling is used to cool the internal space of UV lamp box 2.

[0099] S3. After the UV treatment is completed in step S2, the UV component carrier plate g1 moves the cured product to outside the UV lamp box 2.

[0100] The above describes the curing cycle for a product to be cured.

[0101] Example 2

[0102] Based on Example 1, such as Figure 15 As shown, the lamp body d1 in this embodiment includes a heat dissipation main frame d01, within which a water-cooling passage d02 is provided. The water-cooling passage d02 can be either a straight water-cooling passage or a ring-shaped water-cooling passage, and its shape is determined by the structure of the heat dissipation main frame d01. Both ends of the water-cooling passage d02 are connected to water pipes, and water flows in the water-cooling passage d02 and exchanges heat with the heat dissipation main frame d01. That is, water cooling is used to cool the UV lamp box 2 to extend the service life of the curing lamp.

[0103] Example 3

[0104] Based on Embodiment 1 and Embodiment 2, as Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, in this embodiment, the UV light box 2 is fixed to the pull-out base plate g2 by a UV fixing frame 21. The structure of the UV fixing frame 21 includes two oppositely distributed lateral supports 210 and an end support 211 located between the opposite ends of the two lateral supports 210. A horizontal support 212 is provided on the top of the two lateral supports 210 and the top of the end support 211. A curing lamp d is provided on the inner side of each lateral support 210 and on the inner side of the end support 211. A hollow area is provided on the horizontal support 212, and a curing lamp d is provided on the horizontal support 212. The lamp d has a ring-shaped structure. Ultraviolet light emitted by the curing lamp d shines downwards from the hollowed-out area. A lamp box door assembly c is located at one end of the sliding base plate g2's travel distance. Lamp box door assembly c is a lifting door, driven by a cylinder or hydraulic cylinder to open and close. When lamp box door assembly c is open, the UV component carrier plate g1 can at least partially extend outside the UV lamp box 2. A control box b is located at the other end of the travel distance on the sliding base plate g2. Control box b, for example, is an electrical control box. Control box b is connected to the curing lamp d and to the carrier plate translation driver g3. A water-cooling passage d02 is connected to a pipeline via a quick-connect coupling.
