Description

Technical Field

[0001] This specification relates to the technical field of curing devices, and in particular to a curing module. Background Art

[0002] Curing modules are primarily used in electronics manufacturing for bonding, protecting, and enhancing the performance of electronic components. Their core functions are reflected in three aspects: 1. Bonding and fixing: Using materials such as UV adhesive, electronic components (such as chips and ITO films for touchscreen electrodes) are firmly bonded to glass, metal, or plastic substrates, ensuring component stability despite vibration or temperature fluctuations. 2. Moisture and corrosion resistance: After curing, a sealed structure is formed, isolating components from moisture, salt spray, and oxygen, extending the lifespan of electronic products. For example, UV adhesive can effectively protect ITO films from salt spray corrosion, maintaining the touch function of display modules. 3. Improving environmental adaptability: Rapid curing technologies (such as UV light curing) enable automated production, reducing manual operation time. Furthermore, the cured adhesive remains stable in temperatures ranging from -40°C to 60°C, making it suitable for use in environments with large temperature fluctuations, such as those found in vehicles.

[0003] However, for smaller electronic components, there are more glue dispensing areas and they are irregularly distributed. If a single curing lamp is used for curing, good curing effect cannot be achieved. Utility Model Content

[0032] See also Figures 1 to 3 The embodiment of the present application provides a curing module, comprising: a fixing block 1 , a mounting block 2 , and a plurality of curing lamps 3 .

[0033] The fixing block 1 is provided with a first slide rail 11 extending in the vertical direction Z. The mounting block 2 is slidably connected to the first slide rail 11. A plurality of curing lamps 3 are provided on the mounting block 2. Figure 3As shown, the curing light 3 extends along a first direction A. The curing light 3 is connected to the mounting block 2 via a connecting assembly. The connecting assembly includes a first connecting block 4, a second connecting block 5, a third connecting block 6, a fourth connecting block 7, and a fifth connecting block 8, which are detachably fixed to each other in sequence. The first connecting block 4 is slidably connected to the mounting block 2 in a second direction B, and the curing light 3 is slidably connected to the fifth connecting block 8 in the first direction A. Under the action of the second connecting block 5, the third connecting block 6, the fourth connecting block 7, and the fifth connecting block 8, the curing light 3 slides in a third direction C, rotates about a second direction B, rotates about a third direction C, and rotates about a fourth direction D relative to the mounting block 2. The second direction B intersects the first direction A and is perpendicular to the vertical direction Z. The third direction C is perpendicular to the second direction B, and the fourth direction D is perpendicular to the third direction C.

[0034] In this embodiment, the plurality of curing lamps 3 are symmetrical about the central plane 10, which can simplify the overall structure of the curing module. Figure 2 As shown, the central plane 10 is parallel to the vertical direction Z and the second direction B.

[0035] Specifically, the first connecting block 4 is provided with a first adjustment groove 41 extending along the second direction B. The first connecting block 4 is detachably connected to the mounting block 2 by a first fastener passing through the first adjustment groove 41. By adjusting the position of the first fastener in the first adjustment groove 41 in the second direction B, the position of the curing light 3 in the second direction B can be adjusted, that is, the curing light 3 can be slidable in the second direction B relative to the mounting block 2.

[0036] The second connecting block 5 is provided with a second adjustment slot 51 extending along the third direction C. The second connecting block 5 is detachably connected to the first connecting block 4 via a second fastener passing through the second adjustment slot 51. By adjusting the position of the second fastener in the second adjustment slot 51 in the third direction C, the position of the curing light 3 in the third direction C can be adjusted, that is, the curing light 3 can be slidable in the third direction C relative to the mounting block 2.

[0037] Furthermore, the fifth connecting block 8 is provided with a through hole extending along the first direction A for accommodating the curing light 3. By moving the curing light 3 in the first direction A so that the through hole contacts different positions of the curing light 3, the position of the curing light 3 in the first direction A can be adjusted. In other words, the curing light 3 can be slid relative to the mounting block 2 in the first direction A. Thus, the curing light 3 can slide relative to the mounting block 2 in the first direction A, the second direction B, and the third direction C, respectively, via the fifth connecting block 8, the first connecting block 4, and the second connecting block 5.

[0038] Specifically, the third connecting block 6 is provided with a first adjustment hole 61 extending along the second direction B. The third connecting block 6 is rotatably connected to the second connecting block 5 by a third fastener passing through the first adjustment hole 61. By loosening the third fastener and rotating the third connecting block 6 around the second direction B to a desired position, and then fixing the third fastener, the rotation angle of the curing light 3 around the second direction B can be adjusted, that is, the curing light 3 can be rotated in the second direction B relative to the mounting block 2.

[0039] The fourth connecting block 7 is provided with a second adjustment hole extending along the third direction C. The fourth connecting block 7 is rotatably connected to the third connecting block 6 via a fourth fastener passed through the second adjustment hole. By loosening the fourth fastener and rotating the fourth connecting block 7 around the third direction C to a desired position, and then fixing the fourth fastener, the rotation angle of the curing light 3 around the third direction C can be adjusted. That is, the curing light 3 can be rotated in the third direction C relative to the mounting block 2.

[0040] The fifth connecting block 8 is provided with a third adjustment hole extending in the fourth direction D. The fifth connecting block 8 is rotatably connected to the fourth connecting block 7 via a fifth fastener inserted through the third adjustment hole. By loosening the fifth fastener, rotating the fifth connecting block 8 about the fourth direction D to a desired position, and then tightening the fifth fastener, the rotation angle of the curing light 3 about the fourth direction D can be adjusted. In other words, the curing light 3 can be rotated relative to the mounting block 2 in the fourth direction D. Thus, the third connecting block 6, the fourth connecting block 7, and the fifth connecting block 8 can respectively enable the curing light 3 to rotate relative to the mounting block 2 about the second direction B, the third direction C, and the fourth direction D.

[0041] It should be noted that the first fastener, the second fastener, the third fastener, the fourth fastener and the fifth fastener are preferably connected by threads.

[0042] exist Figure 3 In the embodiment, the third direction C is parallel to the vertical direction Z, that is, for the partial curing lamp 3, the second connecting block 5 in its connecting assembly is vertically arranged so that the second adjustment slot 51 extends along the vertical direction Z. However, as Figure 1 As shown, in order to save space and arrange as many curing lamps 3 as possible in a small space to achieve a better curing effect, the second connecting blocks 5 in the connecting assemblies of some curing lamps 3 are arranged horizontally, that is, the third direction C is perpendicular to the vertical direction Z. The second direction B and the fourth direction D are both perpendicular to the third direction C, that is, the second direction B and the fourth direction D are two directions intersecting in a plane perpendicular to the third direction C.

[0043] The curing module provided in this embodiment comprises a fixed block 1 having a first slide rail 11. The mounting block 2 is slidably connected to the fixed block 1 in the vertical direction Z, thereby enabling the workpiece to avoid displacement during movement. Once the workpiece reaches a curing station, the mounting block 2 is lowered for curing, ensuring smooth movement of the workpiece between stations. Multiple curing lamps 3 are provided, connected to the mounting block 2 via a connecting assembly comprising a first connecting block 4, a second connecting block 5, a third connecting block 6, a fourth connecting block 7, and a fifth connecting block 8. These lamps can slide relative to the mounting block 2 in a first direction A, a second direction B, a third direction C, and rotate about a second direction B, a third direction C, and a fourth direction D. This means that the curing lamps 3 have at least six degrees of freedom, allowing for flexible adjustment of the orientation of each curing lamp 3 to optimize the curing effect. Furthermore, due to the multiple degrees of freedom of the curing lamps 3, as many curing lamps 3 as possible can be installed within a limited space to achieve better curing results and maximize space utilization.

[0044] In a specific embodiment, the number of curing lamps 3 is 12. In other embodiments, the number of curing lamps 3 may be 10 to 16.

[0045] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the multiple curing lights 3 include two first curing lights 31 arranged vertically downward and two second curing lights 32 arranged horizontally. The second curing lights 32 extend parallel to the central plane 10 and along a fifth direction E. The fifth direction E is perpendicular to the vertical direction Z and parallel to the central plane 10. Among the multiple curing lights 3, each curing light 3 located on the same side of the central plane 10 has a different orientation. In the fifth direction E, the multiple curing lights 3 are located in different planes. In the vertical direction Z, the multiple curing lights 3 are located in different planes. The staggered arrangement of the multiple curing lights 3 allows for more comprehensive curing of the workpiece.

[0046] Specifically, the multiple curing lights 3 also include two third curing lights 33 located at the bottom. A second slide rail 21 extending along the fifth direction E is provided at the bottom of the mounting block 2. A connecting slider 9 is connected to the second slide rail 21. The first connecting blocks 4 of the two third curing lights 33 are slidably connected to the ends of the connecting slider 9 in the fifth direction E. By adjusting the positions of the third curing lights 33 in the fifth direction E, better avoidance can be achieved to prevent interference.

[0047] It should be noted that, in the description of this specification, the terms "first," "second," etc., are used solely for descriptive purposes and to distinguish similar objects. There is no order of precedence between the two, nor should they be understood to indicate or imply relative importance. Furthermore, in the description of this specification, unless otherwise specified, "plurality" means two or more.

[0048] Any numerical value cited herein includes all values ​​of the lower and upper values ​​in increments of one unit from the lower value to the upper value, provided that there is at least a two-unit interval between any lower value and any higher value. For example, if the value of a component quantity or process variable (e.g., temperature, pressure, time, etc.) is stated to be from 1 to 90, preferably from 20 to 80, and more preferably from 30 to 70, it is intended to illustrate that values ​​such as 15 to 85, 22 to 68, 43 to 51, 30 to 32, etc. are also explicitly listed in this specification. For values ​​less than 1, one unit is appropriately considered to be 0.0001, 0.001, 0.01, 0.1. These are merely examples intended to be clearly stated, and it is to be understood that all possible combinations of the values ​​listed between the minimum and maximum values ​​are explicitly stated in this specification in a similar manner.

[0049] Unless otherwise indicated, all ranges include the endpoints and all numbers between the endpoints. When used with a range, "about" or "approximately" applies to both endpoints of the range. Thus, "about 20 to 30" is intended to cover "about 20 to about 30," including at least the specified endpoints.

[0050] All articles and references disclosed herein, including patent applications and publications, are incorporated herein by reference for all purposes. The term "consisting essentially of..." when describing a combination should include the identified elements, ingredients, components, or steps and other elements, ingredients, components, or steps that do not materially affect the basic novel characteristics of the combination. The use of the terms "comprising" or "including" to describe a combination of elements, ingredients, components, or steps herein also contemplates embodiments consisting essentially of these elements, ingredients, components, or steps. By using the term "may," it is intended to indicate that any attribute described as "may" be optional.

[0051] Multiple elements, ingredients, parts or steps can be provided by a single integrated element, ingredient, part or step. Alternatively, a single integrated element, ingredient, part or step can be divided into separate multiple elements, ingredients, parts or steps. The disclosure of "a" or "an" to describe an element, ingredient, part or step is not intended to exclude other elements, ingredients, parts or steps.

[0052] It should be understood that the above description is for illustration and not for limitation. Many embodiments and many applications beyond the examples provided will be apparent to those skilled in the art upon reading the above description. Therefore, the scope of the present teachings should not be determined with reference to the above description, but rather with reference to the appended claims and the full scope of equivalents to which such claims are entitled. For the purpose of comprehensiveness, all articles and references, including disclosures of patent applications and publications, are incorporated herein by reference.
