[0033] Reference below Figure 1-Figure 3 A modular UV curing oven according to an embodiment of the present invention is described.

[0034] like Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the modular UV curing oven includes at least one set of equipment frames 110, a conveying mechanism, a UV curing lamp assembly 410, and a control cabinet 500. Each set of equipment frames 110, conveying mechanism, and UV curing lamp assembly 410 is combined into a modular unit. Multiple modular units can be combined according to customer customization requirements to meet the customization needs of different customers, effectively reducing customization costs and shortening delivery cycles.

[0035] Specifically, the equipment frame 110 comprises multiple aluminum profile structures 111. These aluminum profile structures 111 are combined to form the equipment frame 110, and adjacent equipment frames 110 are combined to form a rack. In this embodiment, the aluminum profile structures 111 are made of 4040 aluminum. The racks of each module unit are connected together via screw fasteners to form the complete machine rack. The conveyor mechanism is mounted within the equipment frame 110, and adjacent conveyor mechanisms are connected via a bridge plate 310. The ends of the bridge plate 310 are connected to the rails of the front and rear conveyor mechanisms, respectively. This ensures a smooth transition of product trays between the two workstations and prevents them from becoming stuck.

[0036] Each module unit is provided with a UV curing lamp group 410 , which is arranged on the equipment frame 110 and located above the conveying mechanism, and can irradiate and cure the products transported on the surface of the conveying mechanism.

[0037] The control cabinet 500 is set below any equipment frame 110 and is electrically connected to the UV curing lamp group 410 and the conveying mechanism. Each device requires a set of control cabinets 500, which can be installed in the area below any equipment frame 110 as needed.

[0038] The modular UV curing oven of this utility model can be assembled into modular units to produce equipment of various lengths and specifications. It can also be customized to form an L-shaped conveyor track to adapt to different working environments. Simply by using a corner conveyor mechanism within the equipment frame 110, this meets the customized needs of different users, reduces equipment construction costs, shortens equipment production cycles, significantly improves equipment delivery efficiency, and enhances market competitiveness.

[0039] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a protective plate 320 is installed at the connection between the conveyor mechanism and the equipment frame 110, and a curing zone is formed above the protective plate 320. Specifically, the surface of the protective plate 320 is provided with a reflective layer, which can reflect the ultraviolet rays irradiated to the bottom of the curing zone so that they fill the entire curing zone cavity, thereby improving product curing efficiency. The protective plate 320 also prevents ultraviolet rays from the UV curing lamp assembly 410 from reaching the control cabinet 500 at the bottom of the equipment frame 110, preventing the aging of the cables inside the control cabinet 500.

[0040] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, an air avoidance zone is set between adjacent protective plates 320, and the conveying mechanism includes a conveying chain group 210 and a driving component 220, the output shaft of the driving component 220 and the transmission shaft 211 of the conveying chain group 210, and the shell of the driving component 220 extends below the air avoidance zone.

[0041] Specifically, the avoidance area is mainly used to accommodate the driving assembly 220 to avoid interference between the driving assembly 220 and the conveying chain assembly 210 at the splicing end during the splicing process of the two conveying mechanisms.

[0042] Furthermore, if Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the transmission chain assembly 210 includes a transmission shaft 211 and chain assemblies 212 arranged at both ends of the transmission shaft 211. The drive assembly 220 is connected to the transmission shaft 211 through a commutator 221. The drive assembly 220 drives the two chain assemblies 212 to rotate synchronously. Specifically, the two chain assemblies 212 are connected to the transmission shaft 211 through a transmission connection. The drive assembly 220 is installed vertically in the clearing area. The output shaft of the drive assembly 220 is connected to the transmission shaft 211 through the commutator 221. The longitudinal space of the clearing area is used to accommodate the drive assembly 220, reducing the length of the clearing area and thus reducing the splicing distance between the two module units, which is conducive to reducing the equipment footprint.

[0043] Furthermore, the conveyor chain assembly 210 includes a conveyor belt (not shown in the drawings) that is sleeved onto the chain assembly 212 and is used to carry product pallets, the length of which is no less than the length of the clearance zone, ensuring that the product pallets can move smoothly at the transition between the two conveyor mechanisms.

[0044] Furthermore, if Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the UV curing lamp group 410 is arranged above the middle of the conveying mechanism, and the irradiation direction of the UV curing lamp group 410 is toward the surface of the conveyor belt. The structure of the UV curing lamp group 410 is a technical solution well known to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail in this embodiment.

[0045] The present invention does not elaborate on the structure and number of the UV curing lamp group 410. It should be understood that without departing from the basic concept of the present invention, the structure and number of the UV curing lamp group 410 can be flexibly changed and should be considered within the scope of protection defined by the present invention.

[0046] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 As shown, the shell includes a shell skin 120, which is provided with a hollow channel 121 corresponding to the conveying path of the conveying mechanism. The area of ​​the hollow channel 121 is determined by the length and width of the conveying mechanism. A dust curtain (not shown in the figure) can also be provided at the hollow channel 121 to prevent external dust from entering the curing area.

[0047] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the control cabinet 500 includes a control panel 510, which is mounted on the shell skin 120 and electrically connected to the control cabinet 500. Specifically, the operator can control the flow speed of the conveying mechanism and the irradiation power of the UV curing lamp group 410 through the control panel 510.

[0048] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 As shown, the side wall of the shell skin 120 on which the control panel 510 is mounted is tilted, so that the staff can observe the contents of the control panel 510 easily.

[0049] Throughout this specification, reference to terms such as "one embodiment," "some embodiments," "illustrative embodiments," "examples," "specific examples," or "some examples" means that the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described in conjunction with that embodiment or example are included in at least one embodiment or example of the present invention. In this specification, the illustrative use of the above terms does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Furthermore, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be combined in any suitable manner in any one or more embodiments or examples.

[0050] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, those skilled in the art will appreciate that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and purpose of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the claims and their equivalents.
