Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of glue curing, in particular to an ultraviolet curing box. Background Art

[0002] The working principle of a UV curing chamber is that, through UV radiation, the photoinitiator absorbs the UV radiation energy and breaks down into free radicals, which trigger polymerization, crosslinking, and grafting reactions in the prepolymer, ultimately curing the prepolymer into a network of high molecular weight polymers in a very short time. Through UV curing, materials such as UV coatings, inks, adhesives, and sealants can be converted from liquid to solid in seconds. As an efficient and environmentally friendly curing technology, UV curing is playing an increasingly important role in a variety of industries, including coating and printing, printed circuit board manufacturing, optical fiber manufacturing, and the microelectronics industry.

[0003] A UV curing box consists of two main parts: a box body and an electrical cabinet. In existing technology, the box body and electrical cabinet are typically stacked one on top of the other, with the electrical cabinet providing power and control for the electrical components within the box body. Typically, the box body is mounted above the electrical cabinet. This arrangement requires lifting items to a certain height before placing them in the box or removing them from a higher position during actual use.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0021] refer to Figure 1 In this embodiment, the UV curing box 100 includes a box body 1, a track 7, a loading platform 6, an irradiation unit 9, and an electrical cabinet 2. The front side of the box body 1 has an opening 1a. The objects enter the box body 1 through the opening 1a for the UV curing process. After the curing is completed, the objects are taken out of the box body 1 through the opening 1a. The track 7 is set at the bottom of the box body 1, and the loading platform 6 is set on the track 7. The range of movement of the loading platform 6 along the track 7 includes: a first position where it moves out of the box body 1 through the opening 1a, and a second position inside the box body 1. Figure 1 The figure shows the loading platform 6 in the second position within the housing 1. Before placing an item into the housing 1, the loading platform 6 is first moved to the first position, then the item is placed steadily on the loading platform 6. Finally, the loading platform 6 and the item are pushed through the opening 1a to the second position via the track 7. After the UV curing process for the item is completed, the loading platform 6 and the item return to the first position along the track 7 through the opening 1a. An irradiation unit 9 is disposed within the housing 1 and configured to irradiate UV light toward the loading platform 6 in the second position. When the item reaches the second position within the housing 1, the irradiation unit 9 within the housing 1 irradiates UV light toward the loading platform 6, completing the UV curing process for the item within the loading platform 6. The electrical cabinet 2 and the housing 1 are arranged horizontally and fixedly connected. In this embodiment, both the electrical cabinet 2 and the housing 1 can be positioned lower or placed on a countertop, making it easy for the operator of the UV curing box 100 to transfer items from the loading platform 6 conveniently and safely, while also facilitating maintenance and repair of the circuit equipment within the electrical cabinet 2.

[0022] refer to Figure 2The UV curing box 100 is mainly composed of a box body 1 and an electrical cabinet 2. The outer shell of the box body 1 is mainly composed of a frame structure 3 and an outer shell panel 4 fixed to the frame structure 3. The frame structure 3 is formed by connecting multiple beams 3a. The beams 3a can be made of a variety of metal materials such as aluminum profiles, steel profiles or copper profiles. In this embodiment, the UV curing box 100 may be exposed to various chemical substances during actual use, which may include corrosive substances. In order to ensure that the UV curing box 100 has stable and durable properties, it is more preferred that this embodiment uses aluminum profiles as beams 3a. Aluminum profiles not only have excellent corrosion resistance, but also have high metal strength. In addition, the density of aluminum profiles is relatively low. By using aluminum profiles as the beams 3a of the UV curing box 100, the overall UV curing box 100 can be made lightweight, which is convenient for carrying and transferring according to actual use needs. The cross-section of beam 3a along its minor axis is a square with grooves around its perimeter and a circular hollow center. The grooves around the perimeter serve to secure beams 3a to each other and to the panel, while the circular hollow channel provides space for wiring that connects the power supply cabinet 2 to the drive unit 8, and the illumination unit 9, respectively. In this embodiment, the connections between beams 3a and the outer shell panel 4 in the frame structure 3 are primarily secured by connectors 5, eliminating the need for welding and resulting in a more time-efficient and labor-saving connection process.

[0023] refer to Figure 3 The front side of the box body 1 has a front baffle 11a and an opening and closing plate 12a that are arranged to cover the opening portion 1a. The front baffle 11a is located at the lower end of the opening portion 1a. Through the hinge 13a, the front baffle 11a is pivotally connected to the beam 3a at the bottom of the side to which the front baffle 11a belongs. After the front baffle 11a is opened, the loading platform 6 can be moved out to load or remove workpieces. The opening and closing plate 12a is located at the upper end of the opening portion 1a, and its front surface is flush with the front baffle 11a. The top of the opening and closing plate 12a is pivotally connected to the beam 3a at the top of the side of the opening and closing plate 12a through the hinge 13a. When the front baffle 11a and the opening and closing plate 12a are closed at the same time, the opening portion 1a can be completely covered. When the internal device of the box body 1 needs maintenance or an abnormality occurs, the front baffle 11a and the opening and closing plate 12a can be opened independently or simultaneously to perform maintenance or inspection on the inside of the box body 1.

[0024] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3A drive unit 8 is mounted at the center of the bottom of the housing 1, primarily comprising a motor 8a and a gear 8b. A track 7 is mounted on either side of the bottom of the housing 1. The two tracks 7 are parallel to each other and slide perpendicularly to the front side of the housing 1. A loading platform 6 is mounted above the tracks 7 and the drive unit 8. The loading platform 6 and the drive unit 8 are connected by gears 8b, and the tracks 7 are inserted into sliders 7a on either side of the loading platform 6. When the drive unit 8 is activated, the motor 8a drives the gears 8b to rotate, which in turn push the loading platform 6, causing it to move along the extension direction of the tracks 7. When the loading platform 6 passes through the opening 1a and moves along the extension direction of the tracks 7 to the outside of the housing 1 until it is fully extended, the loading platform 6 is in the first position of the housing 1, at which point items can be placed on the loading platform 6. When the loading platform 6 is fully retracted into the housing 1 along the tracks 7, it is in the second position of the housing 1. If items are placed on the loading platform 6, they can be exposed to ultraviolet light to complete the curing process. A handle 12 is installed on the beams 3a on the left and right sides adjacent to the front side, which is convenient for holding the UV curing box 100 when carrying it. Four legs 10 are installed at the four corners of the bottom of the box body 1. The legs 10 are connected to the bottom of the beams 3a around the box body 1 by screw threads, so that there is a suitable gap between the UV curing box 100 and the placement platform, preventing water or other liquids from flowing into the interior of the UV curing box 100 through the placement platform and causing damage to it. In addition, the heat dissipation effect at the bottom of the UV curing box 100 can be better. The four legs 10 can all be adjusted in height independently, so that the UV curing box 100 reaches a leveling state when in use, ensuring that the items inside the box body 1 can be placed stably. The irradiation unit 9 is arranged at the upper position inside the box body 1, and mainly emits ultraviolet light to objects through the UV lamp (not shown in the figure) installed inside it. An operating unit 11 is installed on the beams 3a at the left and right ends of the front side, specifically an operating panel with buttons. According to actual usage requirements, one or more start switches can be installed on the operating part 11. Through the operating part 11, the start switches can respectively control the power supply, front baffle 11a, opening and closing plate 12a, driving part 8 and irradiation part 9 of the UV curing box 100.

[0025] refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the electric cabinet 2 of the UV curing box 100 is arranged in the horizontal direction with the box body 1, and is fixedly connected to the side of the opening portion 1a of the box body 1 that is away from each other. The top of the electric cabinet 2 is flush with the top of the box body 1, and the width of the electric cabinet 2 is equal to the width of the box body 1. In other words, the electric cabinet 2 and the box body 1 are attached and fixed with cross-sections of basically the same or similar shapes. In this way, even if a square shell is used, no or fewer sharp corners will be generated between the electric cabinet 2 and the box body 1 after connection, so that the overall size of the UV curing box 100 is small and there are no protruding sharp corners. The electric cabinet 2 is arranged at the back of the box body 1, which also makes the heat-generating components farther away from the user, facilitates the heat dissipation of the heat-generating components, and improves the user experience.

[0026] The electrical cabinet 2 houses a circuit device electrically connected to the driver 8 and irradiation unit 9, providing power to the two units and controlling their output. An inspection window 2a and a cabinet lock 2b are located in the middle of the outer side of the cabinet 2, facing away from the opening 1a of the housing 1. These allow for routine inspection and troubleshooting of the internal circuitry of the cabinet 2. A bicolor light 13 is located on the top of the cabinet 2. The color of the bicolor light 13 allows the operator to easily and clearly determine whether the UV curing chamber 100 is operating normally. If the bicolor light 13 illuminates, the UV curing chamber 100 can be shut down and repaired promptly.

[0027] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
