[0002] Carbon fiber is a material produced by carbonizing organic fibers in a high-temperature, inert environment. It possesses characteristics such as lightweight, high strength, and high modulus, making it a crucial component of modern high-performance composite materials. Carbon fiber products are manufactured using carbon fiber as the base material through molding, curing, and subsequent processing to meet the demands of high-performance applications. These products are typically composited with matrix materials such as epoxy resin. To ensure sufficient adhesion between the carbon fiber and the matrix material and to achieve optimal mechanical properties, specialized curing equipment is required to cure the resin matrix during processing.

[0003] In related technologies, the processing of carbon fiber products mainly involves curing through a curing device. Since carbon fiber products require UV lamp irradiation during curing to accelerate the hardening of the resin matrix within the carbon fiber composite and achieve the desired mechanical strength, a UV lamp is installed inside the curing device.

[0032] In this embodiment, the curing chamber 1 in the carbon fiber product processing and curing device restricts the installation positions of two sets of curing lamps 2, the cooling fan 3, and the mounting bracket 5. Each set of curing lamps 2 contains multiple lamps, which can be ultraviolet (UV) lamps or infrared (IR) lamps. The mounting bracket 5 restricts the installation position of the material rack 4, which holds the carbon fiber products to be cured. After the operator places the carbon fiber products on the material rack 4, the curing lamps 2 are activated to initiate the curing reaction of the resin within the carbon fiber products. The two sets of curing lamps 2 are located above and below the material rack 4, respectively, thereby enhancing the curing efficiency of the carbon fiber products. Simultaneously with curing, the cooling fan 3 is activated to... This accelerates the airflow speed inside the curing chamber 1, thereby providing a certain degree of heat dissipation for the carbon fiber products. This ensures the stability and product quality of the carbon fiber products during the curing process. Furthermore, a drive assembly 6 is installed on the mounting frame 5, and the outer wall of the drive assembly 6 is movably connected to the outer wall of the material rack 4. When the drive assembly 6 is activated, it can drive the material rack 4 to rotate inside the mounting frame 5. The rotation of the material rack 4 can drive the placed carbon fiber products to rotate, thereby enhancing the uniformity of light irradiation of the carbon fiber products by the curing lamp 2. This minimizes the possibility of insufficient curing of carbon fiber products in certain areas due to uneven light irradiation, thus improving the quality of the carbon fiber products and making this application more suitable for practical use.

One end of the hydraulic cylinder 8 is hinged to the rectangular box 101, and the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 8 is hinged to the lower surface of the sealing plate 7.

[0036] In this embodiment, a sealing plate 7 and a hydraulic cylinder 8 are respectively provided inside the air inlet 103 and the air outlet 104. Activating the hydraulic cylinder 8 can control the sealing plate 7 to rotate around the hinge part with the rectangular box 101, thereby controlling the opening and closing of the sealing plate 7. When the sealing plate 7 is open and closed, the air inlet 103 or the air outlet 104 can be controlled to open and close, thereby facilitating the protection of this application when it is not in use, or adjusting the opening size of the air inlet 103 and the air outlet 104.

The storage net 402 is used to place carbon fiber products that need to be cured. The storage net 402 facilitates the curing lamp 2 located below the material rack 4 to irradiate the carbon fiber products, and also facilitates air circulation. Protruding teeth 403 are uniformly fixedly connected to the outer wall of the annular plate 401, and the outer wall of the protruding teeth 403 meshes with the outer wall of the drive component 6. Thus, when the drive component 6 is started, the annular plate 401 can be controlled to rotate inside the mounting frame 5 by cooperating with the protruding teeth 403.

[0042] In this embodiment, the installation position of the ball bearing 10 can be restricted by the opening of the placement hole 9. When the annular plate 401 rotates, the ball bearing 10 can roll on the lower surface of the annular plate 401, thereby reducing the friction between the annular plate 401 and the annular support plate 503 when the annular plate 401 rotates.

The gear 602 is located inside the storage groove 504, and the outer wall of the gear 602 meshes with the outer wall of the protruding tooth 403.

[0044] In this embodiment, the starter motor 601 can control the gear 602 to rotate. Through the rotation of the gear 602 and its engagement with the protruding tooth 403, the annular plate 401 can be driven to rotate.

The drive component 6 is installed on the mounting frame 5. Activating the drive component 6 can drive the material rack 4 to rotate inside the mounting frame 5. By driving the rotation of the material rack 4, the carbon fiber product can be rotated, thereby enhancing the uniformity of light irradiation of the carbon fiber product by the curing lamps 2. This can avoid the situation of insufficient curing of carbon fiber products in some areas due to uneven light irradiation, thereby improving the quality of carbon fiber products and making this application more conducive to practical use.
