[0027] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the schemes 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 work are within the scope of protection of the present invention. In addition, the descriptions of "first", "second", etc. in the present invention are only for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features.

[0028] In view of the technical defects in the related art, the present invention provides a multi-angle curing light source 10. Figures 1 to 4 The multi-angle curing light source 10 includes a shell 100, a light source assembly 200, and two reflectors 300. The shell 100 serves as a carrier of the multi-angle curing light source 10. It can be manufactured by injection molding, or it can be constructed by using a plate, or it can be formed by bending and welding sheet metal. The specific molding method of the shell 100 is not specifically limited here. The shell 100 has an installation cavity 110. The surface of the shell 100 is provided with a curing groove 120 connected to the installation cavity 110. The curing groove 120 is provided along the length direction of the shell 100 and passes through the shell 100; that is, the curing groove 120 connects the two end faces of the shell 100 in the length direction. It should be noted that the width of the curing groove 120 is greater than the thickness of the silicon wafer 20 whose edge needs to be cured, so that the edge of the silicon wafer 20 can be inserted into the curing groove 120.

[0029] The light source assembly 200 is installed in the installation cavity 110, and the illumination end of the light source assembly 200 is arranged to face the notch of the curing groove 120; the light source assembly 200 provides illumination, and the type of lamp emitted by the light source assembly 200 can be an LED lamp, an incandescent lamp, a fluorescent lamp or other light that can emit light to cure the edge of the silicon wafer 20; further, two reflectors 300 are installed in the installation cavity 110 and are located on both sides of the light source assembly 200, one end of the two reflectors 300 is adjacent to the light source assembly 200, and the other ends of the two reflectors 300 are extended along the illumination direction of the light source assembly 200 in a direction close to each other, and the mirror surface of the two reflectors 300 is used to reflect the light emitted by the light source assembly 200. With such an arrangement, the light emitted by the light source assembly 200 can be reflected by the two reflectors 300 to the two edge sides of the silicon wafer 20 located in the curing groove 120, and the light source assembly 200 directly irradiates the end face of the silicon wafer 20, so that a light source assembly 200 can simultaneously irradiate the two edge sides and the end face of the silicon wafer 20.

[0030] It is worth noting that the silicon wafer 20 is generally in the shape of a long side plate with a large span. In this embodiment, in order to enable the multi-angle curing light source 10 to cure the edge of the silicon wafer 20 more quickly, the shell 100 of the multi-angle curing light source 10 is set in a long strip shape, and the light source assembly 200 and the two reflectors 300 set in the shell 100 are also set in a long strip shape, which facilitates the multi-angle curing light source 10 to cure the edge of the silicon wafer 20 located in the curing groove 120. The longer multi-angle curing light source 10 can shorten the edge curing time of the large-area silicon wafer 20.

[0031] Through the above technical solution, a curing groove 120 is provided on the shell 100 of the multi-angle curing light source 10, and a light source assembly 200 and two reflectors 300 are provided in the shell 100. The light emitted by the light source assembly 200 can directly illuminate the end face of the silicon wafer 20 extending into the curing groove 120, and at the same time be reflected by the two reflectors 300, and can illuminate the two edge sides of the end face of the silicon wafer 20 located in the curing groove 120; in this way, by using a light source assembly 200, the end face of the silicon wafer 20 and the two adjacent edge sides can be synchronously irradiated, the edge of the silicon wafer 20 can be quickly cured, the curing efficiency is improved, and the curing time is shortened, thereby improving production capacity.

[0032] In this embodiment, the housing 100 is arranged in an elongated strip shape, and the curing groove 120 runs through both ends of the housing 100 in the longitudinal direction. In order to facilitate the installation of the two reflectors 300 in the installation cavity 110, two installation holes 130 are provided at both ends of the housing 100 in the longitudinal direction. The two installation holes 130 are used to plug and cooperate with the two reflectors 300. In this arrangement, when the two reflectors 300 need to be installed, the two reflectors 300 can be inserted from the outside of the housing 100 through the installation holes 130 at one end of the housing 100. After passing through the corresponding installation holes 130, the reflectors 300 extend into the installation cavity 110 and then extend from the installation holes 130 at the other end of the housing 100. In this way, both ends of the reflectors 300 are plugged into the two ends of the housing 100 in the longitudinal direction, which facilitates the installation of the reflectors 300 on the housing 100.

[0033] To prevent the reflector 300 from detaching from the housing 100, in this embodiment, two fixing blocks 140 are provided at each end of the housing 100 in the longitudinal direction. The two fixing blocks 140 are connected to the housing 100 and each at least partially covers the corresponding mounting hole 130. In other words, both ends of each reflector 300 are restrained by the fixing blocks 140 at both ends of the housing 100, thereby preventing the reflector 300 from detaching from the housing 100. It should be noted that the fixing blocks 140 are detachably connected to the housing 100, such as by a snap-fit ​​connection or screw-lock connection, to facilitate subsequent removal and maintenance of the reflector 300.

[0034] In some embodiments, the light source assembly 200 includes a circuit light board 210 and a heat sink 220. The circuit light board 210 is mounted on the heat sink 220, and both ends of the heat sink 220 are connected to the walls of the mounting cavity 110. This allows the circuit light board 210 to dissipate heat more quickly when the light source assembly 200 is in operation for extended periods of time, thereby preventing the circuit light board 210 from generating excessive heat and potentially shortening its service life.

[0035] Furthermore, in this embodiment, at least one ventilation hole 150 is provided on one end surface of the housing 100 facing away from the curing slot 120. The multi-angle curing light source 10 also includes at least one cooling fan 400. Each cooling fan 400 is connected to the housing 100 and positioned at a corresponding ventilation hole 150. The addition of the cooling fans 400 improves air circulation within the mounting cavity 110, thereby accelerating heat dissipation from the heat sink 220 and further accelerating the removal of heat generated by the circuit light board 210 during operation.

[0036] Furthermore, to prevent dust from entering the circuit light board 210 from the silicon wafer 20 while the multi-angle curing light source 10 is operating, thereby reducing the service life of the circuit light board 210, in this embodiment, the light source assembly 200 further includes a mounting bracket 230 and a dustproof glass sheet 240. Both ends of the mounting bracket 230 are connected to the cavity wall of the mounting cavity 110 and are located between the circuit light board 210 and the curing slot 120. The dustproof glass sheet 240 is provided on the mounting bracket 230 to isolate the circuit light board 210 from the curing slot 120. By isolating the circuit light board 210 from the curing slot 120 with the dustproof glass sheet 240, a reduction in the service life of the circuit light board 210 due to excessive dust can be avoided.

[0037] During actual use, glue may be added to the edge of the silicon wafer 20 to bond with various materials such as glass or other silicon wafers 20 to achieve specific technical and application requirements. During the adhesive curing process, the glue will release gases. These gases are mainly released by the raw materials in the glue formula under certain conditions. In order to prevent the gases released by the glue from remaining on the silicon wafer 20, in this embodiment, the surface of the housing 100 is further provided with a vent hole 160 connected to the mounting cavity 110. The multi-angle curing light source 10 also includes an air pump (not shown), and the air supply pipe of the air pump is connected to the vent hole 160. When the air pump is working, it can transfer air from the air supply pipe to the vent hole 160. The air blown out of the vent hole 160 can carry away the gases released by the glue. Furthermore, in this embodiment, an air outlet groove 170 is provided on the end surface of the housing 100 facing away from the vent hole 160. The air outlet groove 170 is connected to the mounting cavity 110. In this way, the gas released from the glue can be pumped from the inside of the installation cavity 110 to the outside of the installation cavity 110 by the air pump.

[0038] In addition, in this embodiment, an air valve 180 is provided between the air delivery pipe of the air pump and the air vent 160 , and the staff can open or close the air valve 180 to open or close the gas.

[0039] Because the thickness of the silicon wafer 20 to be cured varies, it is necessary to limit the position of the silicon wafer 20 when the edge of the silicon wafer 20 extends into the curing groove 120. Therefore, in this embodiment, the multi-angle curing light source 10 further includes a limiting baffle 500. The limiting baffle 500 is slidably mounted on the surface of the housing 100 and is used to slidably cover the curing groove 120. In this way, by adjusting the limiting baffle 500, the silicon wafer 20 can be limited in the thickness direction. In this embodiment, the limit baffle 500 is set in the shape of a long strip, and sliding grooves are set through both ends of the limit baffle 500. The extension direction of the sliding groove is perpendicular to the length direction of the limit baffle 500. The shell 100 is provided with threaded holes at the positions relative to the two sliding grooves. The relative fixation of the limit baffle 500 and the shell 100 can be released or locked by locking the screws with the threaded holes. When the slot width of the curing slot 120 needs to be adjusted, the two screws are loosened, and the position of the limit baffle 500 is slid to adjust. After adjusting to limit the silicon wafer 20, the two screws are tightened again, thereby completing the limitation of the silicon wafer 20 in the thickness direction by the limit baffle 500.

[0040] See also Figure 5 The present invention also provides a light-curing device, which includes a conveyor (not shown) and two multi-angle curing light sources 10. The two multi-angle curing light sources 10 are located on either side of the conveyor. The curing slots 120 of the two multi-angle curing light sources 10 are arranged opposite each other. The conveyor is used to convey the cured wafer, and the ends of the cured wafer extend into the curing slots 120 of the two multi-angle curing light sources 10. The cured wafer can be a silicon wafer 20, a glass plate, or other sheet or plate-like material requiring edge curing, without specific limitation herein.

[0041] With this arrangement, under the action of the conveying device, both edges of the silicon wafer 20 can simultaneously extend into the curing slots 120 of the two oppositely arranged multi-angle curing light sources 10 for light curing, thereby realizing an automated curing process.

[0042] It should be noted that the conveying device can use a synchronous motor to drive a conveyor belt to convey the silicon wafer 20, or use a motor sprocket synchronous roller to convey the silicon wafer 20, or use other mechanisms that can achieve conveyance to convey the silicon wafer 20, which is not specifically limited here.

[0043] The specific structure of the multi-angle curing light source 10 refers to the above embodiment. Since the light curing device adopts all the technical solutions of all the above embodiments, it at least has all the beneficial effects brought by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be described one by one here.
