[0033] In some embodiments, the light curing device further includes two baffle assemblies 50. The baffle assemblies 50 are used to block the material to be cured 30 and the curing lamp 23, to prevent impurities from entering the material to be cured 30 and affecting the curing quality, and also to prevent the material to be cured from splashing into the curing lamp 23 and affecting the normal operation of the curing lamp 23. The two baffle assemblies 50 are slidably mounted on the frame 10 and are located between the first lamp rack 21 and the second lamp rack 22, wherein one baffle assembly 50 is disposed close to the first lamp rack 21, and the other baffle assembly 50 is disposed close to the second lamp rack 22, that is, one baffle assembly 50 is disposed on each of the first lamp rack 21 and the second lamp rack 22.

[0034] In one example, if Figure 4 As shown, the baffle assembly 50 includes a baffle body 501 and a handle 502. The handle 502 is disposed on one side of the baffle body 501 close to the free side 212 of the first lamp holder 21, and the handle 502 is used to facilitate holding and pulling out and loading and unloading the baffle assembly 50. The material of the baffle body 501 can be a hard material such as metal, alloy, resin, plastic, etc. The handle 502 can be the same as or different from the material of the baffle body 501. In addition, the handle 502 can be integrally formed with the baffle body 501, or it can be separately disposed from the baffle 501 and fixed to the baffle body 501 by bonding, clamping, fastening, etc. The embodiment of the present disclosure does not impose too many restrictions on the specific materials and connection methods of the baffle body 501 and the handle 502, and those skilled in the art can make selections according to actual needs.

[0035] In some embodiments, Figure 4As shown, the baffle body 501 is also provided with a weight-reducing groove 51. The weight-reducing groove 51 can be set in a square, circular, elliptical, rounded rectangular or other shapes. For example, the weight-reducing groove 51 is set on the side close to the handle 502. The weight-reducing groove 51 is formed by removing part of the material of the baffle body 501, thereby reducing the weight of the baffle body 501. In addition, the weight-reducing groove 51 can also be easy to hold when loading and unloading the baffle assembly 50, making it more convenient and labor-saving when pulling out the baffle assembly 50, and reducing the difficulty of loading and unloading. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the number of weight-reducing grooves 51 is three. It can be understood that those skilled in the art can also increase or decrease the number of weight-reducing grooves 51 according to actual needs, and the embodiment of the present disclosure does not impose too many restrictions on this.

[0036] In some embodiments, Figure 4 As shown, the baffle assembly 50 also includes a light-transmitting portion 53. A plurality of second mounting grooves 52 are provided on the baffle body 501, and the number of the curing lamps 23 of the first lamp holder 21 is equal to the number of the curing lamps 23 of the second lamp holder 22. The curing lamps 23 of the first lamp holder 21 correspond to the curing lamps 23 of the second lamp holder 22 one by one. The second mounting grooves 52 correspond to the curing lamps 23 of the first lamp holder 21 one by one, and each second mounting groove 52 is provided with a light-transmitting portion 53. The light-transmitting portion 53 may be made of transparent materials such as quartz glass and acrylic, so as to avoid affecting the light transmission of the curing lamp 23.

[0037] In one example, if Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the number of curing lamps 23 of the first lamp holder 21 and the number of curing lamps 23 of the second lamp holder 22 are both six, that is, the number of upper and lower curing lamps 23 of the light curing device is twelve in total. Of course, it can be understood that the number of curing lamps 23 of the first lamp holder 21 and the number of curing lamps 23 of the second lamp holder 22 can also be different, and those skilled in the art can adaptively adjust the number of curing lamps 23 according to actual needs. When the number of curing lamps 23 of the first lamp holder 21 and the number of curing lamps 23 of the second lamp holder 22 are different, the second mounting grooves 52 on the baffle assembly 50 close to the first lamp holder 21 correspond one-to-one to the curing lamps 23 of the first lamp holder 21, and the second mounting grooves 52 on the baffle assembly 50 close to the second lamp holder 22 correspond one-to-one to the curing lamps 23 of the second lamp holder 22.

[0038] In some embodiments, the baffle assembly 50 further includes a sealing strip 54. Figure 4As shown, the sealing strip 54 is arranged on the side of the baffle body 501 away from the material to be cured 30, and the sealing strip 54 is arranged around the second mounting groove 52. The sealing strip 54 is used to improve the sealing performance between the curing lamp 23 and the first lamp holder 21 and the second lamp holder 22, and prevent dust, moisture, etc. from entering the curing channel 24 through the gap to affect the quality of the cured product. There can be multiple sealing strips 54, one sealing strip 54 is arranged for each second mounting groove 52, or only one integral sealing strip 54 is arranged, and multiple openings corresponding to the second mounting grooves 52 are arranged on the sealing strip 54.

[0039] In some embodiments, the curing lamp 23 includes an ultraviolet lamp. The curing lamp 23 can be a light source capable of emitting ultraviolet light, such as a metal halide lamp or a high pressure mercury lamp. The wavelength of the ultraviolet light emitted by the curing lamp 23 is in the range of 310nm to 480nm, preferably 380nm.

[0040] In some embodiments, Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the light curing device also includes a bellows assembly 60. The bellows assembly includes a bellows bracket 61 and at least one bellows 62 arranged on the bellows bracket 61. The bellows assembly also includes two air ducts 63. The two air ducts 63 are respectively arranged on the side of the first lamp holder 21 away from the handle 502 and the side of the second lamp holder 22 away from the handle 502. The bellows 62 is connected to the air ducts 63. The bellows 62 is used to blow air into the air ducts 63, so as to achieve air cooling and heat dissipation of the curing lamps 23 of the first lamp holder 21 and the second lamp holder 22, so as to avoid the curing lamps 23 working for a long time and causing a temperature rise failure. The number of bellows 62 can be set according to actual needs. Only one bellows 62 can be set to be connected to the air ducts 63 of the first lamp holder 21 and the second lamp holder 22 respectively. Alternatively, one bellows 62 or multiple bellows 62 can be set for each air duct 63. The embodiment of the present disclosure does not impose too many restrictions on this. Those skilled in the art can set it according to actual needs.
