[0032] Reference below Figure 1-Figure 3 A double-station curing oven according to an embodiment of the present invention is described.
[0033] like Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the double-station curing furnace includes a frame 100, a workbench 110 is provided on the top of the frame 100, and the workbench 110 is covered in one piece above the frame 100. It also includes a gantry cover 200, a UV curing component 300 and a sliding mechanism 400. The gantry cover 200 is provided above the workbench 110, and the area between the gantry cover 200 and the workbench 110 forms a curing zone. Specifically, the UV curing component 300 is provided in the gantry cover 200, and the UV curing component 300 irradiates and cures the product in the curing zone, and the UV curing component 300 irradiates and cures the product in the curing zone below the gantry cover 200. The gantry cover 200 is used to prevent the ultraviolet rays of the UV curing component 300 from diffusing to the outside world, and can play a role in concentrating ultraviolet rays to a certain extent, thereby improving the curing efficiency of the curing zone.
[0034] The two sliding mechanisms 400 are arranged side by side on the workbench 110. The sliding mechanism 400 includes a slide 410 and a slide 420. The slide 420 is slidably connected to the slide 410. The slide 410 is fixedly set on the workbench 110. A workpiece clamp 430 is also set on the slide 420. The workpiece clamp 430 is used to clamp the product.
[0035] In this embodiment, to prevent the UV rays from the UV curing assembly 300 from scattering and affecting curing efficiency, one set of UV curing assemblies 300 corresponds to two sets of slide mechanisms 400. Specifically, after the workpiece fixtures 430 on the slides 420 of the two slide mechanisms 400 clamp the product, they follow the path set by the slide 410 into the curing zone below the gantry cover 200, stay in the curing zone for a specified period of time, and then exit the curing zone from the other side.
[0036] A control assembly (not shown in the accompanying drawings) is electrically connected to each of the slide mechanisms 400 and is used to independently control the operation of each slide mechanism 400. This control assembly allows personnel to adjust the operating state of the UV curing assembly 300 and the operation of the slides 420 on each of the slide mechanisms 400. Products on each slide 420 can enter the curing zone for curing. After the products on each slide 420 have cured for a specified period of time, they are removed from the periphery of the gantry cover 200 for easy assembly and disassembly. The curing time for each slide mechanism 400 is independently timed, without affecting each other. This significantly improves equipment production efficiency and increases production tact.
[0037] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the bottom of the slide 420 is connected to the slide rail of the slide base 410 , and the top of the slide 420 is connected to the workpiece fixture 430 .
[0038] Specifically, the slide 420 is driven on the slide 410 via a slide rail. The transmission structure between the slide 420 and the slide 410 can adopt a screw drive, a belt drive, or the like. The structure of the slide 420 and the slide 410 is a technical solution well known to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail in this embodiment. In this embodiment, the slide 410 is fixedly connected to the workbench 110 via screws, and the slide 420 moves along the extension direction of the slide rail via a screw drive structure within the slide 410.
[0039] Furthermore, if Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the middle portion of the slide 420 is hollowed out, and the slide seat 410 is provided with a covering panel 411 . The covering panel 411 passes through the middle hollowed-out area of the slide 420 and covers the top of the slide seat 410 .
[0040] Specifically, the cover panel 411 can prevent the internal components of the slide mechanism 400 from aging due to ultraviolet radiation from the UV curing assembly 300, and the cover panel 411 can also play a dustproof role, preventing external dust from entering the slide mechanism 400.
[0041] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the gantry cover 200 is located above the middle of the slide 410. Specifically, the position of the gantry cover 200 can be adjusted according to the actual placement position of the device. By default, the gantry cover 200 is fixed above the slide 410.
[0042] In some embodiments of the present invention, the workpiece fixture 430 is detachably connected to the top of the slide 420. Specifically, the workpiece fixture 430 selects a corresponding fixture structure according to the curing process of different products.
[0043] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a partition plate 220 is provided in the middle of the gantry cover 200. A UV curing assembly 300 is mounted above the partition plate 220. A curing zone is located below the partition plate 220. The UV curing assembly 300 irradiates the curing zone through the partition plate 220. Specifically, the partition plate 220 is a glass panel. The ultraviolet rays from the UV curing assembly 300 can pass through the glass panel and irradiate the slide 420. The partition plate 220 protects the UV curing assembly 300 from damage.
[0044] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the gantry cover 200 is provided with doors 210 on both sides, and the side doors 210 are detachably connected to the gantry cover 200 through locks 211. Specifically, the side doors 210 are convenient for staff to maintain and repair the UV curing assembly 300 in the later stage.
[0045] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, an air avoidance groove 212 is provided above the slide 420 corresponding to the side-opening door 210 , and the air avoidance groove 212 is used to prevent the product on the workpiece fixture 430 from colliding with the side-opening door 210 .
[0046] Specifically, the opening area of the air avoidance groove 212 depends on the type of processed products. The air avoidance groove 212 of corresponding specifications can be selected by replacing the side door 210 to reduce the diffusion of ultraviolet energy of the UV curing component 300.
[0047] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the gantry cover 200 is provided with a light-transmitting plate 230 , which is provided in the area above the partition plate 220 for observing the working status of the UV curing assembly 300 .
