Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of mercury lamp exposure equipment, and particularly to a mercury lamp exposure box. Background Art

[0002] In modern manufacturing, UV exposure technology is widely used in many fields. Especially in the curing process after FA ferrule dispensing, the performance of UV exposure equipment plays a key role in product quality and production efficiency. Currently, in the UV exposure treatment after FA ferrule dispensing, the commonly used equipment is mainly a point-source mercury lamp. However, with the development of the industry and the continuous growth of market demand, the limitations of this traditional equipment have become increasingly prominent.

[0003] In terms of production efficiency, in a large-scale production environment, the production efficiency of a point-source mercury lamp is relatively low and cannot meet the demand for high output. A point-source mercury lamp can only expose a relatively small area at a time. For batch-produced FA ferrules, exposure operations need to be carried out one by one or in small batches, resulting in an extended overall production cycle and making it difficult to meet the growing market order demand. This not only increases production costs but also may affect the competitiveness of enterprises in the market, making it impossible for enterprises to deliver products in a timely manner when facing urgent orders or large-scale orders.

[0004] In terms of exposure effect, there are certain limitations in the exposure uniformity and stability of a point-source mercury lamp. Due to its light-emitting principle and light propagation characteristics, during the irradiation process of a point-source mercury lamp, the light distribution is prone to being uneven, resulting in inconsistent ultraviolet intensities received by different parts of the FA ferrule. This uneven exposure will cause different degrees of glue curing, thereby affecting the quality stability of the product and leading to product quality fluctuations. For example, some products may have insufficient exposure, incomplete glue curing, and problems such as loose connections and poor sealing performance during subsequent use; while some products may have excessive exposure, resulting in glue aging and brittleness, which also affects the performance and service life of the product.

[0005] In addition, traditional point-source mercury lamp equipment is also difficult to meet the requirements of modern production in terms of function integration and operation convenience. It usually lacks precise control and automatic adjustment functions for exposure parameters. Operators need to frequently manually adjust the equipment parameters, which not only increases the operation difficulty and workload but also is prone to operation errors due to human factors, further affecting product quality. At the same time, in terms of equipment heat dissipation, protection, etc., traditional point-source mercury lamp equipment also has deficiencies and cannot effectively protect the safety of operators and the stable operation of the equipment.

[0006] In summary, with the continuous growth of market demand for FA ferrule products and the increasing requirements for product quality, developing a highly efficient, stable, easy-to-operate, and fully functional UV exposure equipment has become an urgent need in the industry. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The purpose of this application is to provide a mercury lamp exposure box.

[0008] The above technical purpose of this application is achieved through the following technical solutions: A mercury lamp exposure box, comprising: A box body, serving as a basic framework, providing an installation space and a support structure for other components; An opening and closing door, rotatably connected and installed on the box body, capable of performing an opening and closing action relative to the box body, for closing or opening the box body so as to put in and take out the items to be exposed; A surface light source mercury lamp, arranged on the box body, with the light emitting direction towards the inside of the box body, for providing the light required for UV exposure to the items to be exposed inside the box body; A height adjustment component, arranged inside the box body, for adjusting the distance between the support plate and the surface light source mercury lamp; A support plate, slidably arranged on the height adjustment component, for carrying the items to be exposed or placing turnover jigs; A momentary switch, arranged inside the box body. When the support plate slides to a preset position, the momentary switch is triggered. When the support plate slides away from the preset position, the momentary switch resets; An external electrical box, connected to the surface light source mercury lamp and the momentary switch through electrical lines.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solutions, the box body serves as a stable framework, ensuring the orderly installation and stable operation of each component. The design of the opening and closing door facilitates the taking and placing of items, improving the operation convenience. The surface light source mercury lamp provides a large area of uniform UV light. Compared with the traditional point light source mercury lamp, it effectively solves the problem of uneven exposure and ensures the stable quality of products. The height adjustment component cooperates with the support plate to flexibly adjust the exposure distance, meeting the requirements of different products for exposure power and enhancing the versatility of the equipment. The momentary switch and the external electrical box cooperate to realize the automation of exposure timing, accurately control the exposure time, and avoid manual timing errors. The external electrical box centrally controls the key components, facilitating parameter setting and equipment monitoring, improving the overall operation efficiency, greatly enhancing the quality and efficiency of UV exposure, and meeting the needs of large-scale production.

[0010] Optionally, the height adjustment component includes a locking plate, and a slider is arranged on the locking plate; a sliding groove is arranged on the inner wall of the box body, the slider is slidably matched with the sliding groove, the support plate is fixed on the locking plate, and the height of the support plate relative to the surface light source mercury lamp is adjusted by the sliding of the slider in the sliding groove, and the locking plate can be fixed on the inner wall of the box body after being adjusted to a suitable height.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the sliding fit between the slider on the locking plate and the inner wall chute of the box body makes the height adjustment operation of the support plate simple and intuitive. The operator can quickly and accurately adjust the distance between the support plate and the surface light source mercury lamp according to the actual needs of different items to be exposed. This adjustment method has high flexibility and can meet the diverse requirements of the exposure process. After the locking plate is adjusted to the appropriate height, it can be fixed on the inner wall of the box body. For example, by passing a pin through the holes in the box body and the locking plate, the stability of the support plate during the exposure process is ensured, avoiding the influence of height changes on the exposure effect, ensuring the consistency and accuracy of the exposure, effectively improving the product quality, and at the same time enhancing the overall reliability and durability of the equipment.

[0012] Optionally, a light shielding plate is provided on the support plate, and a through groove is provided on the light shielding plate. The through groove is used to allow the light emitted by the surface light source mercury lamp to pass through and irradiate a specific area of the item to be exposed, and at the same time the light shielding plate can block the light from irradiating the area that does not need to be exposed.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the ingenious design of the light shielding plate and the through groove precisely adapts to the turnover fixture and the exposure requirements. On the one hand, the light shielding plate strictly blocks the light scattered by the surface light source mercury lamp to the non-exposed area, effectively ensuring that the parts of the product that do not need to be cured with glue are not interfered by ultraviolet rays, maintaining their original performance and appearance integrity, and greatly reducing the defective rate caused by mis-exposure. On the other hand, the existence of the through groove opens a dedicated channel for the turnover fixture. The turnover fixture precisely passes through the through groove and directly sends the position to be exposed to the light convergence area, ensuring that the ultraviolet rays act on the key parts without deviation, achieving efficient and precise exposure. This design not only optimizes the light utilization efficiency and avoids unnecessary energy consumption, but also makes the glue curing process more uniform and sufficient, effectively enhancing the stability of the key connection parts of the product, laying a solid foundation for improving the product quality and strengthening the production efficiency.

[0014] Optionally, an intake fan and an exhaust fan are provided on the box body, and a plurality of heat dissipation holes are provided on the support plate; the intake fan is arranged at the bottom of the box body and is used to suck the outside cold air into the box body, and the exhaust fan is arranged at the top of the box body and is used to extract the hot air in the box body; the heat dissipation holes on the support plate are arranged in an array. After the cold air enters from the intake fan, it passes through the heat dissipation holes and exchanges heat with the item to be exposed and the internal components. The hot air rises and is discharged through the exhaust fan, thereby forming an air convection to achieve effective heat dissipation in the box body.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, it brings excellent heat dissipation performance improvement to the mercury lamp exposure box, thereby ensuring the stable and efficient operation of the equipment and the high-quality output of products. The bottom intake fan can continuously introduce external cold air, and the cold air flows from bottom to top. First, it cools the items to be exposed on the support plate, preventing the glue characteristics from changing or the products from deforming due to being in a high-temperature environment for a long time, ensuring that the products complete the exposure process at an appropriate temperature and effectively stabilizing the product quality. At the same time, the heat dissipation holes arranged in an array greatly expand the heat exchange area, enabling the cold air to fully shuttle between the items to be exposed and the internal components, absorbing heat in all directions and accelerating heat dissipation. The exhaust fan set at the top then timely extracts the hot air that rises due to heat from the box body, establishing a smooth and efficient air convection cycle. It can not only maintain the surface light source mercury lamp within a reasonable working temperature range, avoid problems such as reduced luminous efficiency and shortened lifespan caused by overheating, extend its service life, but also ensure the stable operation of the electrical components in the box, reduce the risk of failures caused by high temperature, and enhance the overall reliability and durability of the equipment.

[0016] Optionally, a limiting groove is provided on the support plate, and the turnover fixture is slidably arranged in the limiting groove.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the setting of the limiting groove provides strong guarantee for the operation convenience and exposure accuracy of the exposure box. The turnover fixture slides in the limiting groove, and its sliding path is accurately defined. When the operator places or removes the turnover fixture, they can easily and accurately operate according to the guidance of the limiting groove, greatly improving the work efficiency and reducing the time loss of repeated adjustment due to placement position deviation. Moreover, during the exposure process, the turnover fixture is firmly restricted on a fixed track, ensuring that the items to be exposed are always in the best exposure area of the surface light source mercury lamp, and will not be displaced due to slight external vibration or careless operation, making the position and angle of each exposure highly consistent, thus ensuring the uniformity and stability of the exposure, laying a solid foundation for producing high-quality and consistent-performance products, effectively reducing the defective rate, and improving the overall production efficiency.

[0018] Optionally, the bottom of the limiting groove is hollow and provided with an object-taking gap, and the object-taking gap extends along the length direction of the limiting groove.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, when it is necessary to take out the turnover fixture, one can simply use a tool to easily hook or clamp a specific part on the fixture through the object-taking gap, which ingeniously reduces the difficulty of taking and placing, especially for some delicate or heavy turnover fixtures, greatly saving physical strength and operation time and improving work efficiency. The object-taking gap extending along the length direction of the limit slot gives the operator more operation flexibility. No matter where the turnover fixture is located in the limit slot, it can be conveniently reached, further reducing problems such as item collision and displacement that may be caused by limited operation, ensuring the stability of the item to be exposed, ensuring that the exposure effect is not affected, and steadily enhancing the smoothness and efficiency of the entire exposure process.

[0020] Optionally, the external electric box includes a housing, a control circuit board, a power module, a time relay, an operation indicator light, a buzzer, and a communication module.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the multiple components integrated in the external electric box endow the mercury lamp exposure box with excellent control performance and intelligent features. The housing provides reliable protection for the internal precision components, isolating external interferences such as dust and moisture, and ensuring the stable operation of the circuit. The control circuit board precisely coordinates the actions of each component, comprehensively controls the exposure process according to the preset logic, and ensures the orderly operation of the equipment. The power module supplies energy stably, adapts to the voltage requirements of different components, and ensures the strong light output of the surface light source mercury lamp and the continuous operation of the cooling fan, etc. The time relay realizes precise timing, accurately controls the exposure duration, eliminates manual timing errors, and ensures consistent exposure effects of products. The operation indicator light gives real-time feedback on the equipment status with intuitive visual signals, enabling the operator to clearly understand at a glance and quickly judge whether the equipment is in standby, running, or faulty. The buzzer makes a sound to give a warning in time when the exposure ends, preventing the operator from forgetting and improving the continuity of the operation. The communication module opens up an internal and external data interaction channel, which is not only convenient for remotely monitoring equipment parameters and operating conditions to achieve intelligent management, but also can receive external instructions to flexibly adjust the exposure process, greatly enhancing the convenience of equipment control and production adaptability, and comprehensively improving the working efficiency of the exposure box.

[0022] Optionally, a plurality of baffles are provided on the box body, and the plurality of baffles enclose to form an installation groove for fitting and installing the surface light source mercury lamp. The bottom of the installation groove is hollowed out to form a through hole for avoiding the light emitted by the surface light source mercury lamp. A fitting groove is provided on the baffle, and a fitting part is provided on the surface light source mercury lamp.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, the installation groove formed by the baffle provides a precise and stable fitting position for the surface light source mercury lamp, ensuring that the mercury lamp is firmly installed on the box body, avoiding the displacement of the mercury lamp caused by factors such as equipment operation vibration and daily handling collision, thus guaranteeing the stability of the light projection direction and laying a foundation for uniform and precise exposure. The through holes at the bottom of the installation groove cleverly avoid the light, preventing the light from being blocked or reflected back into the box body, which may cause energy loss and interfere with the exposure effect, and allowing the light emitted by the surface light source mercury lamp to shine on the item to be exposed unobstructed. Moreover, the fitting grooves on the baffle are closely matched with the fitting parts of the surface light source mercury lamp, further enhancing the reliability of the mercury lamp installation. This not only facilitates the installation, disassembly and maintenance, but also can always maintain the relative position accuracy between the mercury lamp and the box body during long-term use, reducing the light deviation caused by loose connection, and effectively improving the overall stability, durability of the equipment and the accuracy of exposure, ensuring the stable and reliable quality of the product.

[0024] Optionally, the height adjustment component includes an electric push rod, a motor, a lead screw and a nut; the motor is electrically connected to the external electrical box, and the external electrical box provides power and controls its operation; the output shaft of the motor is fixedly connected to the lead screw, and the lead screw is rotatably arranged in the box body; the nut is in threaded cooperation with the lead screw, and the nut is fixedly connected to the support plate; when the external electrical box sends a control signal to the motor, the motor drives the lead screw to rotate, driving the nut to move along the axial direction of the lead screw, thereby realizing the lifting of the support plate and precisely adjusting the distance between the support plate and the surface light source mercury lamp to meet the requirements of different items to be exposed for the exposure height; the height adjustment component further includes a position sensor, which is electrically connected to the external electrical box, can monitor the position of the support plate in real time, and feedback the position information to the external electrical box, so that the external electrical box can accurately control the height adjustment process.

[0025] By adopting the above technical solution, the height adjustment system composed of an electric push rod, a motor, a lead screw and a nut endows the exposure box with strong adaptability. The external electrical box precisely controls the operation of the motor, driving the lead screw to drive the nut and the support plate to lift smoothly, so that in the face of items to be exposed with different heights and sizes, it can quickly and accurately adjust to the appropriate exposure height, greatly improving the exposure accuracy and ensuring the stable quality of the product. On the other hand, the position sensor monitors the position of the support plate in real time and feeds back information, and the external electrical box makes fine adjustments accordingly, avoiding adjustment errors, ensuring the consistency of each exposure, reducing defective products caused by height deviation, significantly improving the adjustment efficiency, reducing the time and energy consumption of manual debugging, making the equipment operation more intelligent and convenient, and laying a solid foundation for efficient industrial production.

[0026] Optionally, an automatic ejection component is further provided inside the box body. The automatic ejection component includes an electric telescopic rod, a push plate, and a trigger switch installed inside the box body. The electric telescopic rod is electrically connected to the external electric box and receives the control signal of the external electric box. The push plate is fixedly installed at the telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod, and the position of the push plate corresponds to the position of the turnover fixture during exposure.

[0027] By adopting the above technical solution, at the moment when the exposure is completed, the external electric box accurately issues an instruction, the trigger switch is quickly activated, and the electric telescopic rod then extends powerfully. The push plate fixed to its front end steadily acts on the turnover fixture, quickly and smoothly pushing it away from the exposure position. This design has breakthroughly solved a series of pain points in manual operations: on the one hand, it avoids the operator directly contacting the turnover fixture that has just completed exposure and may still be in a high-temperature state, eliminating the risk of scalding and ensuring personal safety; on the other hand, in the box body with limited space, it overcomes the problem that it is easy to collide with components such as the box wall and the surface light source mercury lamp when manually taking and placing the turnover fixture, reducing the probability of equipment damage. Moreover, the automated ejection mechanism makes the entire production process more closely connected, significantly shortening the turnover time, reducing equipment idle time, and significantly improving production efficiency, providing a solid guarantee for large-scale and continuous industrial production, and greatly enhancing the overall practicality and reliability of the equipment.

[0028] In summary, the present application at least includes the following beneficial effects: 1. The surface light source mercury lamp is paired with a precisely designed height adjustment component, which can flexibly adjust the exposure height according to different items to be exposed, ensuring that the light irradiates evenly and precisely. With the precise guidance and shielding of the light by the light baffle, the exposure quality is effectively improved, the defective rate is reduced, and the diverse production requirements are met.

[0029] 2. The external electric box integrates multiple components to achieve automated timing, visual status indication, and remote communication control. The operator can easily control the operation of the equipment; at the same time, the limit slot and the automatic ejection component greatly simplify the process of taking and placing the turnover fixture, saving operation time and effort and reducing the risk of human error.

[0030] 3. The delicate design of the box body structure and each component, such as the baffle stabilizing the surface light source mercury lamp, and the intake fan and heat dissipation holes working together for heat dissipation, ensures the stability of the equipment during long-term operation, reduces the probability of failures, extends the service life of the equipment, and provides reliable support for high-intensity production operations.

[0033] The following further elaborates on this application in conjunction with the attached drawings.

[0034] Embodiment 1 In this embodiment, referring to Figures 1-3 , a mercury lamp exposure box includes a box body 1, an opening and closing door 2, a surface light source mercury lamp 4, a height adjustment component 5, a support plate 6, a momentary switch 8 and an external electrical box. Among them, the cooperation relationships between the components are as follows: The box body 1 serves as a basic framework, providing an installation space and a support structure for other components. The opening and closing door 2 is rotatably connected and installed on the box body 1, and can perform opening and closing actions relative to the box body 1, for closing or opening the box body 1 to facilitate the placement and removal of the item to be exposed 3. The surface light source mercury lamp 4 is arranged on the box body 1, and the light emitting direction is towards the inside of the box body 1, for providing the light required for UV exposure to the item to be exposed 3 inside the box body 1. The height adjustment component 5 is arranged inside the box body 1, for adjusting the distance between the support plate 6 and the surface light source mercury lamp 4. The support plate 6 is slidably arranged on the height adjustment component 5, for carrying the item to be exposed 3 or placing the turnover fixture 7. The momentary switch 8 is arranged inside the box body 1. When the support plate 6 slides to a preset position, the momentary switch 8 is triggered. When the support plate 6 slides away from the preset position, the momentary switch 8 resets. The external electrical box is connected to the surface light source mercury lamp 4 and the momentary switch 8 through electrical lines.

[0035] Specifically, the height adjustment component 5 can be implemented in various ways. For example: The locking plate 51 is provided with a slide block 52. The inner wall of the box body 1 is provided with a slide groove 9. The slide block 52 is slidably matched with the slide groove 9. The support plate 6 is fixed to the locking plate 51. The height of the support plate 6 relative to the surface light source mercury lamp 4 is adjusted by the sliding of the slide block 52 in the slide groove 9, and the locking plate 51 can be fixed on the inner wall of the box body 1 after being adjusted to a suitable height.

[0036] Another implementation method is to use an electric push rod, a motor, a lead screw, and a nut. The motor is electrically connected to an external electrical box, which provides power and controls its operation; the output shaft of the motor is fixedly connected to the lead screw, and the lead screw is rotatably arranged in the box body 1; the nut is in threaded cooperation with the lead screw, and the nut is fixedly connected to the support plate 6; when the external electrical box sends a control signal to the motor, the motor drives the lead screw to rotate, driving the nut to move along the axial direction of the lead screw, thereby realizing the lifting of the support plate 6 and precisely adjusting the distance between the support plate 6 and the surface light source mercury lamp 4 to meet the exposure height requirements of different items to be exposed 3. The height adjustment assembly 5 also includes a position sensor, which is electrically connected to the external electrical box, can monitor the position of the support plate 6 in real time, and feedback the position information to the external electrical box, so that the external electrical box can accurately control the height adjustment process.

[0037] The design of the support plate 6 takes into account various details, such as: A light blocking plate 10 is provided on the support plate 6, and a through groove 11 is provided on the light blocking plate 10. The through groove 11 is used to allow the light emitted by the surface light source mercury lamp 4 to pass through and irradiate a specific area of the item to be exposed 3. At the same time, the light blocking plate 10 can block the light from irradiating the area that does not need to be exposed. A limiting groove 15 is also provided on the support plate 6, and the turnover fixture is slidably arranged in the limiting groove 15. The bottom of the limiting groove 15 is hollow and provided with an object taking gap 16, and the object taking gap 16 extends along the length direction of the limiting groove 15, facilitating the operator to take out the turnover fixture that has completed the exposure. To ensure good heat dissipation effect, a number of heat dissipation holes 14 are provided on the support plate 6, and the heat dissipation holes 14 are arranged in an array. After the cold air enters from the intake fan 12, it passes through the heat dissipation holes 14 to exchange heat with the item to be exposed 3 and the internal components. The hot air rises and is discharged through the exhaust fan 13, thereby forming air convection and realizing effective heat dissipation in the box body 1.

[0038] The heat dissipation system includes: the intake fan 12 is arranged at the bottom position of the box body 1 and is used to suck the external cold air into the box body 1. The exhaust fan 13 is arranged at the top position of the box body 1 and is used to extract the hot air in the box body 1. After the cold air enters from the intake fan 12, it passes through the heat dissipation holes 14 to exchange heat with the item to be exposed 3 and the internal components. The hot air rises and is discharged through the exhaust fan 13, thereby forming air convection and realizing effective heat dissipation in the box body 1.

[0039] The automatic ejection assembly includes: an electric telescopic rod, a push plate, and a trigger switch installed inside the box body 1. The electric telescopic rod is electrically connected to the external electrical box and receives the control signal of the external electrical box. The push plate is fixedly installed at the telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod, and the position of the push plate corresponds to the position of the turnover fixture during exposure. When the exposure is completed, the electric telescopic rod pushes the push plate to eject the turnover fixture, facilitating the operator to quickly take out the exposed product.

[0040] The external electrical box includes a housing, a control circuit board, a power module, a time relay, an operating indicator light, a buzzer, and a communication module. The time relay is used to set the exposure time. When the exposure time arrives, the buzzer will sound an alarm to remind the operator to take out the turnover fixture. The communication module can be used for remote monitoring and data transmission to enhance the intelligence level of the equipment.

[0041] The implementation principle of this embodiment is as follows: Through reasonable structural design and function integration, this mercury lamp exposure box significantly improves the UV exposure efficiency. The height adjustment component 5 enables the height of the support plate 6 to be flexibly adjusted according to actual needs, ensuring the best exposure effect each time. The heat dissipation system effectively solves the heat problem brought by the high-power surface light source mercury lamp 4 and extends the service life of the equipment. The automatic ejection component greatly improves the operation convenience and work efficiency. The overall design not only meets the high production volume requirements of large-scale production but also ensures the quality and stability of the products.

[0042] During the actual use process, the operator first uses the encapsulation fixture to accurately perform encapsulation and dispensing on the FA with the assistance of the CCD vision system, ensuring that the dispensing position and the amount of glue fully meet the process requirements to form the item to be exposed 3. Subsequently, the dispensed FAs are placed into the turnover fixtures one by one. After every 5 PCS are to be encapsulated, the operator holds the turnover fixture and places it steadily and accurately into the mercury lamp exposure box along the limit groove 15 on the support plate 6. It should be noted that to ensure production efficiency, the surface light source mercury lamp 4 remains on throughout the production period and will not be frequently turned off and on due to the entry and exit of a single turnover fixture. At the same time, the intake fan 12 and the exhaust fan 13 also operate continuously and stably during use to ensure a stable internal thermal environment in the box body 1.

[0043] When the turnover fixture is accurately in place and presses the momentary switch 8, the UV exposure timing officially starts. During the exposure, the operator can always pay attention to the operating status of the equipment through the operating indicator light on the external electrical box and can promptly check and handle any abnormalities. At the same time, thanks to the good heat dissipation design on the box body 1, the surface light source mercury lamp 4 and the internal components always work at a suitable temperature, ensuring stable light output and ensuring that the glue on the FA is cured evenly and sufficiently.

[0044] When the exposure time is up, the buzzer in the external electrical box immediately emits a loud alarm sound to clearly inform the employee that the exposure has been completed. At this time, the operator wears protective gloves and other protective equipment, opens the opening and closing door 2, and easily takes out the turnover fixture by using the guidance of the limit groove 15 on the support plate 6 and the convenient design of the object-taking gap 16. After taking it out, the employee checks the curing condition of the glue on the FA. After inspection, it is found that the glue has been dried and fully meets the quality requirements, and then the FA is transferred to the subsequent processing procedure.

[0045] Embodiment 2 The difference between this embodiment and the above - mentioned embodiment is as follows: The height - adjusting component 5 adopts a manual - adjusting method. The electric push rod and the motor are cancelled, and a handwheel and a gear transmission mechanism are used to realize the lifting of the support plate 6. The heat - dissipation system adds a temperature sensor to monitor the temperature inside the box body 1 in real - time. When the temperature exceeds the preset value, the rotation speeds of the intake fan 12 and the exhaust fan 13 will automatically increase to accelerate the heat - dissipation speed. This dynamic regulation mechanism further enhances the reliability and safety of the equipment. The automatic - ejection component is changed to be driven by a cylinder. The cylinder has a fast response speed and a large thrust, which meets the requirements of a fast - production line. The control signal of the cylinder is also sent by an external electric box, realizing automated operation.

[0046] The implementation principle of this embodiment is: The manually - adjusted height - adjusting component 5 simplifies the operation process of the equipment and reduces the maintenance cost. The dynamically - regulated heat - dissipation system ensures the stable operation of the equipment under various working conditions. The cylinder - driven automatic - ejection component improves the production efficiency and shortens the operation time. These improvement measures make the mercury - lamp exposure box more adaptable to different application scenarios and have higher flexibility and practicality.

[0047] Embodiment 3 The difference between this embodiment and the above - mentioned embodiment is as follows: The height - adjusting component 5 adopts a hydraulic system, and an oil pump and a hydraulic cylinder are used to realize the smooth lifting of the support plate 6. The hydraulic system is characterized by smooth movement and low noise, which is especially suitable for precision - machining occasions. The support plate 6 is added with an anti - static coating to prevent the influence of static electricity on the FA ferrule and improve the product quality. The heat - dissipation system adds a set of liquid - cooling circulation system. The liquid coolant covers the key heat - generating parts inside the whole box body 1 through pipelines, greatly improving the heat - dissipation effect. The automatic - ejection component adds a safety interlock mechanism. Only when the box body 1 is completely closed and the pressure sensor detects no abnormal situation can the automatic - ejection function be started to ensure operation safety.

[0048] The implementation principle of this embodiment is: The introduction of the hydraulic system and the liquid - cooling circulation system makes a qualitative leap in the high - precision and high - reliability aspects of the mercury - lamp exposure box. The use of the anti - static coating avoids static - electricity interference and improves the qualified rate of products. The addition of the safety interlock mechanism guarantees the personal safety of the operators and meets the standards of modern industrial safety production.

[0049] Embodiment 4 The difference between this embodiment and the above - mentioned embodiments lies in that: the height - adjusting component 5 adopts magnetic levitation technology, using the magnetic field generated by an electromagnet to achieve non - contact floating of the support plate 6. This design eliminates mechanical wear and extends the service life of the equipment. Multiple sensors are provided on the support plate 6 to monitor the load condition on the support plate 6 in real - time. When the load exceeds the predetermined range, the system will automatically stop the exposure operation to prevent over - load damage to the equipment. The heat - dissipation system uses phase - change materials. The phase - change materials absorb a large amount of heat while maintaining a constant temperature, effectively delaying the temperature - rising rate. The automatic ejection component is added with a visual recognition system. The camera scans the state of the turnover fixture and starts the ejection action only after confirming whether the exposure is completed, improving the degree of automation.

[0050] The implementation principle of this embodiment is: the application of magnetic levitation technology and phase - change materials enables the mercury - lamp exposure box to perform excellently in terms of high performance, energy conservation and environmental protection. The addition of multiple sensors and the visual recognition system further improves the intelligent level of the equipment, enabling it to better cope with complex production environments.

[0051] Embodiment 5 The difference between this embodiment and the above - mentioned embodiments lies in that: the height - adjusting component 5 adopts a pneumatic system, using compressed gas to drive a piston to achieve the lifting of the support plate 6. The advantage of the pneumatic system is its rapid response and simple control, which is especially suitable for high - frequency production operations. Multiple micro - nozzles are provided on the support plate 6, which can blow tiny airflows during the exposure process to prevent dust and impurities from adhering to the surface of the FA ferrule, ensuring product quality. The heat - dissipation system is added with graphene heat sinks. Graphene has extremely high thermal conductivity and can quickly conduct heat to reduce the temperature inside the box body 1. The automatic ejection component integrates a vibration motor. When the exposure is completed, the vibration motor starts to slightly vibrate the turnover fixture, which helps to loosen the adhered parts and facilitates the removal of the finished product.

[0052] The implementation principle of this embodiment is: the combination of the pneumatic system and graphene heat sinks enables the mercury - lamp exposure box to find a balance between high efficiency and low cost. The auxiliary functions of the micro - nozzles and the vibration motor further improve the working efficiency of the equipment and the product quality.

[0053] Embodiment 6 The difference between this embodiment and the above - mentioned embodiments lies in that: the mercury - lamp exposure box is closely combined with the outflow line to achieve full - process unmanned operation, greatly improving the production automation degree and efficiency, and meeting the strict requirements of modern intelligent manufacturing.

[0054] In terms of the overall structural layout, lifting doors are provided at both ends of the mercury lamp exposure box, and both ends of the mercury lamp exposure box are respectively connected to the outflow line. The outflow line adopts a high-precision automated conveyor track, and its starting end is accurately docked with the output port of the external dispensing process to ensure that the FA after dispensing can automatically and smoothly flow in and transfer the turnover fixture to the support plate 6 through structures such as a robotic arm. An intelligent sensing device is equipped on the conveyor track to monitor the inflow of FA in real time. Once it detects that 5 PCS of FA enter the preset area, subsequent actions will be immediately triggered.

[0055] The height adjustment component 5 adopts an adaptive electric adjustment system. This system integrates advanced sensors such as a laser ranging sensor and an intelligent control algorithm. By obtaining the item information of the item to be exposed 3, the laser ranging sensor can quickly and accurately measure the height profile information of the FA to be exposed and transmit the data to the control circuit board in the external electrical box in real time. The control circuit board quickly analyzes and processes the data according to the preset program, automatically sends precise control instructions to the motor, drives the lead screw to rotate, drives the nut and the support plate 6 to quickly adjust to the optimal exposure height. The whole process does not require manual intervention and can complete the height adaptation in a very short time to ensure that the light intensity of each exposure is uniform and accurately acts on the surface of the FA.

[0056] On the basis of meeting the functions of bearing and positioning, the support plate 6 is further optimized. In addition to having the function of accurately controlling light, the light shielding plate 10 on its surface is also equipped with light intensity feedback sensors. These sensors can monitor the light intensity irradiating on the FA through the through groove 11 in real time and feedback the data to the external electrical box. The external electrical box dynamically adjusts the power of the surface light source mercury lamp 4 according to the feedback information to ensure that the light intensity during the exposure process is always stable within the process requirements, effectively improving the consistency of product quality. At the same time, the docking part of the limit groove 15 and the conveyor track is designed as a flexible adaptive structure, which can automatically fine-tune according to the small size deviation of the turnover fixture to ensure that the turnover fixture smoothly transitions from the conveyor track to the limit groove 15, avoiding jamming or deviation.

[0057] The heat dissipation system has been comprehensively upgraded. In addition to retaining the efficient air convection heat dissipation structure composed of the bottom air inlet fan 12, the top air outlet fan 13 and the heat dissipation holes 14 of the support plate 6, heat pipe heat dissipation modules are also added at the key heat generating parts of the box body 1, such as around the surface light source mercury lamp 4, near the motor and the control circuit board. The heat pipe heat dissipation module uses the high-efficiency heat conduction characteristics of the heat pipe to quickly transfer the heat to the large-area heat dissipation fins, and then the fan accelerates the air convection to take away the heat. In addition, the system is built-in with an intelligent temperature control module, which is communicatively connected to the external electrical box to monitor the temperature inside the box body 1 in real time. Once the temperature approaches or exceeds the preset threshold, not only the fan speed is automatically increased, but also the working power of the surface light source mercury lamp 4 can be remotely controlled through the external electrical box to reduce the heat generation intensity and ensure the long-term stable operation of the equipment within the safe temperature range.

[0058] The automatic pop-up component integrates a variety of advanced technologies. In terms of the triggering mechanism, a dual detection system of visual recognition and pressure sensing is adopted. The camera continuously monitors the exposure status of the turnover fixture and the FA. Combining the monitoring of the position and force of the turnover fixture in the limit groove 15 by the pressure sensor, only when both conditions of exposure completion are met simultaneously, a start signal is sent to the electric telescopic rod. After the electric telescopic rod pushes the push plate to push out the turnover fixture, the conveying track of the outflow line immediately responds. Through the preset robotic arm or suction cup device, the turnover fixture is grabbed and smoothly moved to the subsequent processing procedure according to a precise program, without manual picking and placing throughout the process.

[0059] The external electrical box, as the "intelligent brain" of the entire system, has its functions further enhanced. Its communication module is upgraded to support the 5G communication standard, achieving ultra-high-speed and low-latency data transmission. By docking with the cloud of the factory automation management system (MES), it can upload information such as equipment operation parameters, exposure data, and fault warnings in real time, and at the same time receive remote control instructions from the cloud, such as adjusting exposure process parameters and starting the equipment self-check program. In addition to the traditional function of displaying the equipment status, the operation indicator light can also convey more detailed equipment health information in different colors, blinking frequencies, etc. according to the instructions received by the external electrical box or the internal self-check results, facilitating remote maintenance personnel to quickly understand the equipment condition.

[0060] The implementation principle of this embodiment is: by deeply integrating and intelligently upgrading the components of the exposure box with the outflow line, using advanced sensor technology, automatic control technology, and high-speed communication technology, a highly automated and intelligent UV exposure production line is constructed. From the automatic inflow of the FA after dispensing, to precise exposure, automatic pop-up of the turnover fixture, and then to the automatic transfer of the finished product to the subsequent process, the whole process requires no manual operation, greatly improving production efficiency, product quality stability, while reducing labor costs and the risk of human operation errors, providing strong technical support for the construction of future intelligent factories.

[0061] The embodiments of this specific implementation manner are all preferred embodiments of this application, and do not limit the protection scope of this application accordingly. Therefore, all equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of this application shall be covered within the protection scope of this application.
