Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of sealing, and in particular to an automatic UV glue curing device. Background Art

[0002] UV glue curing is a process that uses ultraviolet (UV) light to trigger a chemical reaction, causing the adhesive to change from a liquid to a solid state. UV glue, also known as UV curing glue or shadowless glue, is an adhesive that must be cured by ultraviolet light. It is widely used in the bonding of various materials such as glass products, crystal products, and plastics. The curing principle of UV glue is that the photoinitiator inside it absorbs light energy under ultraviolet light to produce active free radicals or cations, which in turn triggers monomer polymerization and cross-linking reactions, causing the adhesive to change from a liquid to a solid state within a few seconds. This curing method is not only fast, but also non-volatile and highly transparent, so it is widely used in many fields.

[0003] However, when UV glue is curing, workers use handheld curing lamps to irradiate the skin. During the operation, long-term and high-dose ultraviolet radiation will accelerate the aging of the skin, and cause local skin symptoms such as redness, swelling, pain, itching, and desquamation, and may even induce skin cancer. If protective clothing and other protective gear are worn, the bonding operation will be inconvenient, and even frequent bonding misalignment may occur, resulting in product scrapping.

[0028] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0029] Figure 1 It is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of a UV glue automatic curing device provided by an embodiment of the present invention.

[0030] like Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a UV glue automatic curing device, including an overall platform 1, a workbench 2 is arranged on the overall platform 1, and curing stations 21 for placing workpieces to be cured are arranged on the workbench 2 along a first direction, wherein the first station is located on the left and the second station is located on the right, and the first direction is the direction from the first end to the second end along the surface of the workbench 2. Figure 1 For example, the first direction is the left-right direction, and the curing lamp 3 is movably installed on the overall platform 1 through the moving mechanism 4, and the position of the curing lamp 3 is higher than the position of the workpiece to be cured.

[0031] By controlling the curing lamp 3 to move toward the first station or the second station through the moving mechanism 4, the workpiece to be cured at one of the curing stations 21 can be irradiated and cured, and the preparation work for the workpiece to be cured can be performed at the other curing station 21. Figure 1 For example, by controlling the curing lamp 3 to move toward the left side, the curing station 21 on the right side is in an open state. At this time, the staff can prepare the workpiece to be cured at the curing station 21 on the right side, such as gluing and bonding of UV glue. After the preparation is completed, the curing lamp 3 moves toward the right side, located above the curing station 21 on the right side, to irradiate and cure the workpiece to be cured, so that on the workbench 2, the work of preparing the workpiece to be cured and the work of curing the workpiece to be cured can be carried out simultaneously, thereby improving work efficiency.

[0032] In one of the preferred embodiments, more workstations can be set on the workbench, such as the third workstation, the fourth workstation, etc., and the workstations are arranged sequentially along the first direction. In actual operation, the UV glue is cured at one of the workstations, and preparation work for the workpiece to be cured is performed at other workstations, which can improve the curing efficiency.

[0033] Figure 2 It is a partially enlarged schematic diagram of a light shielding component of a UV glue automatic curing device provided in one embodiment of the present invention.

[0034] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in one of the preferred embodiments, it also includes a light blocking component 5, which is movably arranged on the workbench 2 along a first direction, and the interior of the light blocking component 5 forms a light-proof space. When the light blocking component 5 moves so that the moving mechanism 4 and the workpiece to be cured are in the light-proof space, the light blocking component 5 isolates the workpiece to be cured and the curing lamp 3 from the external light source, which can prevent the light from the curing lamp 3 irradiating the workpiece to be cured from leaking out, and prevent external stray light from entering the curing station 21, which can improve the quality and uniformity of UV glue curing.

[0035] In one of the preferred embodiments, the light blocking assembly 5 includes a sliding portion 53 and a light blocking frame 54, on which a light blocking plate is installed; the light blocking frame 54 is slidably installed on the overall platform 1 through the sliding portion 53, and its sliding direction is parallel to the first direction, so as to realize the movement of the light blocking assembly 5 along the first direction; the sliding portion 53 is also connected to a driving portion 55, through which the sliding portion 53 and the light blocking frame 54 can be driven to move relative to the overall platform 1, thereby controlling the light blocking plate 51 to avoid or cover the curing station 21.

[0036] In one preferred embodiment, a plurality of windows can be provided on the light blocking frame 54, including at least a first window and a second window perpendicular to the first direction, and light blocking plates are installed on the windows, including at least a first light blocking plate 51 and a second light blocking plate 52 respectively installed on the first window and the second window, and the first light blocking plate 51

[0037] For example, the first light baffle 51 and the second light baffle 52 are rigid structures, and the first light baffle 51 and the second light baffle 52 are arranged on the light baffle frame 54 in a liftable manner. When the light baffle assembly 5 moves on the overall platform 1, the first light baffle 51 and the second light baffle 52 are raised, so as to smoothly pass over the workpiece to be cured. When the light baffle assembly 5 moves into position, the first light baffle 51 and the second light baffle 52 fall down, isolating the curing lamp 3 and the workpiece to be cured from the external light source; or, the first light baffle 51 and the second light baffle 52 can also be arranged as flexible structures, so that the first light baffle 51 and the second light baffle 52 can be rolled up, so as to ensure the smooth movement of the light baffle assembly 5 on the workbench and the isolation effect of the curing lamp 3 and the workpiece to be cured. The setting of the light baffle of the light baffle assembly 5 can also be adjusted according to actual conditions, as long as it can meet the movement of the light baffle assembly 5 on the workbench 2 and isolate the curing station 21 from the external light source after the light baffle assembly 5 moves into position.

[0038] like Figure 2 As shown, the light blocking frame 54 is a rectangular frame structure formed by splicing aluminum or aluminum alloy profiles, wherein two opposite side surfaces are located outside the overall platform 1, so that the bottom surface of the frame structure is located below the workbench 2, and the top surface is located above the workbench 2, that is, the workbench 2 is inserted into the rectangular frame structure; the two side surfaces along the first direction are the first window and the second window, and the first light blocking plate 51 and the second light blocking plate 52 are movably installed on the first window and the second window, when the first light blocking plate 51 and the second light blocking plate 52 are raised, the light blocking assembly 5 can pass above the workbench 2, the curing lamp 3 and the moving mechanism 4, and when the first light blocking plate 51 and the second light blocking plate 52 are lowered, the light blocking assembly 5 isolates the workbench 2, the curing lamp 3 and the moving mechanism 4 from external light sources.

[0039] Among them, the driving part 55 can be configured to include a driving motor 551 fixedly connected to the overall platform 1 and two lower connecting parts 554, a driving rod 552 is arranged between the two lower connecting parts 554, and the driving rod 552 is connected to the output end of the driving motor 551, so that the driving rod 552 can rotate around the axis between the two lower connecting parts 554, and an upper connecting part 553 is also arranged on the driving rod 552, and the upper connecting part 553 is fixedly connected to the sliding part 53 and the light blocking frame 54, an external thread is arranged on the driving rod 552, and an internal thread is arranged on the upper connecting part 553, the driving rod 552 and the upper connecting part 553 are threadedly matched, and the upper connecting part 553 is moved axially along the driving rod 552 by rotating the driving rod 552, thereby driving the movement of the light blocking component 5.

[0040] like Figure 1 As shown, in one of the preferred embodiments, a cooling fan 6 is further provided on the moving mechanism 4. When the workpiece to be cured is being cured, the cooling fan 6 is used to dissipate heat and ventilate the space within the light shielding plate 51.

[0041] Further, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, six curing lamps 3 are arranged on the moving mechanism 4, and when the six curing lamps are located above one of the curing stations 21, they can fully cover the curing station 21, so that the workpiece to be cured can be fully and evenly irradiated and cured; six cooling fans 6 can be correspondingly arranged, respectively arranged near each curing lamp 3, to dissipate heat for the curing lamp 3 and the space within the light blocking component 5.

[0042] Figure 3 It is a schematic structural diagram of a driving unit of a UV glue automatic curing device provided in one embodiment of the present invention.

[0043] like Figure 2 As shown, in one preferred embodiment, the moving mechanism 4 includes a support portion 41 fixedly mounted on the workbench 2 and a lamp body mounting frame 42 on which the curing lamp 3 is mounted. A slide rail is provided on the support portion 41, and the lamp body mounting frame 42 is slidably provided on the slide rail. The movement of the curing lamp 3 relative to the curing station 21 is achieved by sliding the lamp body mounting frame 42 on the slide rail. Further, the slide rail can be provided to be mounted on the support portion 41 through a lamp body lifting portion 411. The rope lifting portion 411 can drive the slide rail and the lamp body mounting frame 42 to rise and fall in the vertical direction along the support portion 41, that is, it can drive the curing lamp 3 to rise and fall in the vertical direction to approach or move away from the curing station 21, and can adjust the vertical spacing between the curing lamp 3 and the curing station 21 to meet various curing parameter requirements.

[0044] In one of the preferred embodiments, the curing light 3 may be connected to a light-controlled switch, so that when the curing light 3 is not needed to work, the curing light 3 may be turned off to save energy.

[0045] In addition, in one of the preferred embodiments, a light blocking frame 54 can be provided to be fixedly connected to the lamp body mounting frame 42. When the light blocking frame 54 moves, the lamp body mounting frame 42 moves synchronously. That is, the lamp body mounting frame 42 and the curing lamp 3 are always located in the light-shielding space of the light blocking component 5. As the light-shielding space of the light blocking component 5 moves along the first direction on the workbench 2, the workpiece to be cured in the light-shielding space is irradiated and cured, and corresponding preparation work is performed on the workpiece to be cured at other curing stations 21.

[0046] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention is described in detail with reference to the embodiments, it should be understood by those skilled in the art that any modification or equivalent replacement of the technical solutions of the present invention does not depart from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention and should be included in the scope of the claims of the present invention.
