[0002] The main purpose of print curing is to ensure the clarity and durability of flat images or text. This technology is usually used in printing, copying, drawing and other fields. Fonts or flat images are formed on paper or other flat materials through ink jetting or laser irradiation.

However, the UV lamp group light curing method currently on the market cannot be adjusted in sections, resulting in a certain power output of the UV lamp group light curing, which will cause energy waste. The driving mechanism is also basically uniformly set to an overall drive. If multi-section control is set, there will be a lot of lines, which will lead to a large cable diameter, a large bending radius, and poor bending resistance. It cannot be used normally in the tank chain and has a high failure rate. Summary of the invention
