[0054] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the UV curing apparatus 100 provided in the embodiments of this application. Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the adjustment mechanism 30 provided in the embodiment of this application.

[0055] The UV curing apparatus 100 provided in this application includes a curing lamp assembly 20 and an adjustment mechanism 30. The curing lamp assembly 20 is used to irradiate a workpiece. The adjustment mechanism 30 includes an angle adjustment assembly 31. The angle adjustment assembly 31 includes a first base 311, a first guide member 312, a first movable member 313, and a connecting rod 314. The curing lamp assembly 20 is rotatably connected to the first base 311. The first guide member 312 is connected to the first base 311 and is arranged along a first horizontal direction Y.

[0056] The first movable member 313 is slidably disposed on the first guide member 312 and moves relative to the first base 311 along the first horizontal direction Y under the guidance of the first guide member 312. One end of the connecting rod 314 is rotatably connected to the first movable member 313, and the other end is rotatably connected to the curing lamp assembly 20. The movement of the first movable member 313 along the first horizontal direction Y drives the connecting rod 314 to rotate, thereby adjusting the rotation of the curing lamp assembly 20 relative to the first base 311.

[0057] The first base 311 can be made of high-strength aluminum alloy profile to ensure the stability of the UV curing device 100 during operation. The first base 311 can be reserved with mounting positions for installing the curing lamp assembly 20 and the first guide member 312. Multiple threaded holes are opened on the surface of the mounting positions to enable detachable connection of the curing lamp assembly 20 and the first guide member 312 by bolts, making subsequent maintenance or replacement of parts more convenient.

[0058] Optionally, the curing lamp assembly 20 includes a mounting frame 21 and a plurality of curing lamps 22, which are arranged along the second horizontal direction X and are all mounted on the mounting frame 21. The mounting frame 21 is rotatably connected to the first base 311 and rotatably connected to the connecting rod 314.

[0059] The mounting bracket 21 can be rotatably connected to the first base 311 via a pivot. The mounting bracket 21 may also be provided with connecting ears, which are rotatably connected to the end of the connecting rod 314 away from the first base 311 via a pin. When the connecting rod 314 moves under the drive of the first movable part 313, it will push and pull the mounting bracket 21 to rotate around the pivot of the first base 311, thereby synchronously adjusting the irradiation angle of all curing lamps 22.

[0060] The second horizontal direction X is set at an angle to the first horizontal direction Y. Multiple curing lamps 22 can expand the irradiation range, ensuring that even large workpiece surfaces receive sufficient UV energy. The number of curing lamps 22 can be 2, 3, 4, 5 or more, and there is no limitation here; an appropriate number can be selected according to actual needs.

[0061] The curing lamp 22 in the curing lamp assembly 20 may include, but is not limited to, electrodeless lamps, mercury lamps, metal halide lamps, xenon lamps, and UV LED lamps, etc. Furthermore, the workpieces include, but are not limited to, cylindrical battery cells, and other cylindrical or irregularly shaped workpieces requiring UV coating curing.

[0062] The first guide member 312 is mounted on the top of the first base 311. The first guide member 312 may include a linear slide rail extending along a first horizontal direction Y. The two ends of the linear slide rail are fixedly connected to the first base 311 by bolts.

[0063] The first movable member 313 can be a rectangular metal plate, and its bottom is connected to the first guide member 312. A connecting seat can be welded to the top of the first movable member 313, and the connecting seat has a shaft hole adapted to the connecting rod 314. The connecting rod 314 can be a cylindrical metal rod, one end of which is rotatably connected to the connecting seat of the first movable member 313 via a rotating shaft. The other end of the connecting rod 314 is also rotatably connected to the connecting ear plate on the curing lamp assembly 20 via a rotating shaft. These two rotatable connection structures together constitute a linkage mechanism, providing a power transmission path for the angle adjustment of the curing lamp assembly 20.

[0064] When it is necessary to adjust the irradiation angle of the curing lamp assembly 20, the first movable member 313 can be manually pushed to slide along the first horizontal direction Y of the first guide member 312, thereby causing one end of the connecting rod 314 to move synchronously with the first movable member 313. The other end of the connecting rod 314 is rotatably connected to the curing lamp assembly 20. Under the pushing or pulling action of the connecting rod 314, the curing lamp assembly 20 will rotate around the connection point with the first base 311, thereby changing the irradiation angle of the curing lamp assembly 20.

[0065] For example, when it is necessary to increase the angle between the curing lamp assembly 20 and the workpiece surface, the first movable member 313 is pushed to slide towards the curing lamp assembly 20, and the connecting rod 314 swings upward under the action of the first movable member 313, thereby pushing the curing lamp assembly 20 to rotate counterclockwise around the connection with the first base 311, so as to increase the irradiation angle of the curing lamp assembly 20; conversely, when it is necessary to decrease the irradiation angle, the first movable member 313 is pulled to slide away from the curing lamp assembly 20, and the connecting rod 314 swings downward, pulling the curing lamp assembly 20 to rotate clockwise around the connection with the first base 311, thereby reducing the irradiation angle of the curing lamp assembly 20.

[0066] In the UV curing apparatus 100 of this application, because the first guide member 312 can constrain the sliding trajectory of the first movable member 313, the sliding displacement of the first movable member 313 has high precision. This, in turn, is converted into angular rotation of the curing lamp assembly 20 via the connecting rod 314. The operator can accurately adjust the angle of the curing lamp assembly 20 by controlling the sliding distance of the first movable member 313 according to actual processing needs, thus avoiding angular deviation problems and ensuring that the UV light from the curing lamp assembly 20 is uniformly distributed on the workpiece surface.

[0067] Optionally, the first guide member 312 includes two parallel and spaced first guide rails 3121, the first guide rails 3121 extending along the first horizontal direction Y, and a first slider 3122 slidably disposed on the first guide rails 3121, and the first movable member 313 connecting the two first sliders 3122.

[0068] The parallel arrangement of the two first guide rails 3121 can provide more stable support for the first movable part 313, disperse the force of the first movable part 313 and subsequent transmission process, avoid excessive force on a single guide rail leading to deformation, and extend the service life of the first guide part 312.

[0069] Each first guide rail 3121 is slidably fitted with a first slider 3122, the first slider 3122 having a groove inside that matches the cross-section of the first guide rail 3121. The side of the first slider 3122 facing away from the first guide rail 3121 is connected to the bottom of the first movable member 313 by bolts. A ball bearing may also be provided between the first slider 3122 and the first guide rail 3121. The ball bearing can reduce the frictional resistance when the first slider 3122 slides, allowing the first movable member 313 to slide smoothly along the first horizontal direction Y.

[0070] The parallel arrangement of the two first guide rails 3121, in conjunction with the first slider 3122, provides a precise guide trajectory for the first movable part 313, restricts the displacement of the first slider 3122 in the first horizontal direction Y, and ensures that the first movable part 313 slides only along the first horizontal direction Y, without any left or right deviation, up or down jumping or twisting.

[0071] Optionally, the angle adjustment assembly 31 further includes a drive member 315, which is disposed on the first base 311 and connects the first movable member 313 to the portion between the two first sliders 3122. The drive member 315 drives the first movable member 313 to move along the first horizontal direction Y.

[0072] The drive component 315 is connected to the first movable component 313 in the area between the two first sliders 3122, ensuring that the point of application of the driving force is located on the symmetrical center line of the first movable component 313. This prevents the first movable component 313 from twisting or jamming during sliding due to force offset, thus ensuring the stability and accuracy of the angle adjustment assembly 31. The drive component 315 can be a cylinder, electric push rod, servo motor, or lead screw, etc.

[0073] For example, the drive unit 315 may include a first handwheel 3151 and a first lead screw 3152. One end of the first lead screw 3152 is connected to the first movable member 313, and the other end is connected to the first handwheel 3151. The first handwheel 3151 is rotated to cause the first lead screw 3152 to drive the first movable member 313 to move along the first horizontal direction Y.

[0074] The first lead screw 3152 is set along the first horizontal direction Y, passes through the lead nut on the first movable member 313, and the other end is fixedly connected to the first handwheel 3151. When the first handwheel 3151 is rotated, it will drive the first lead screw 3152 to rotate synchronously, and the rotational motion of the first lead screw 3152 will be converted into the linear motion of the first movable member 313 along the first horizontal direction Y.

[0075] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 Optionally, the angle adjustment component 31 further includes a limiting block 3123, which is disposed at both ends of the first guide rail 3121 to limit the displacement of the first movable member 313 in the first horizontal direction Y.

[0076] When the first movable member 313 drives the first slider 3122 to slide along the first guide rail 3121 to the limit position, the first slider 3122 will abut against the limit block 3123, thereby restricting the first movable member 313 from continuing to move in that direction, avoiding the collision between the connecting rod 314 and the curing lamp assembly 20 due to excessive sliding, and also preventing the first slider 3122 from falling off the first guide rail 3121, ensuring the safety and stability of the angle adjustment assembly 31 operation.

[0077] The limiting blocks 3123 are made of high-strength rubber or metal with a surface covered with cushioning material. The two limiting blocks 3123 are located at opposite ends of the sliding path of the first slider 3122. The positions of the limiting blocks 3123 can be preset according to the maximum adjustment angle required by the curing lamp assembly 20, ensuring that the first movable member 313 can slide freely within the allowable angle adjustment range, while also being promptly limited when the angle exceeds the safe range.

[0078] Please see Figure 1Optionally, an angle scale 41a is provided at one end of the first base 311 near the curing lamp assembly 20, and a first indicator needle 41b is provided on the side of the curing lamp assembly 20 facing the first base 311. The curing lamp assembly 20 rotates relative to the first base 311 to drive the first indicator needle 41b to point to different positions of the angle scale 41a.

[0079] The base of the first indicator needle 41b is fixed to the curing lamp assembly 20, and its tip extends to the scale area of ​​the angle scale 41a. When the curing lamp assembly 20 rotates, it synchronously drives the first indicator needle 41b to rotate, ensuring that the first indicator needle 41b always points to the corresponding position on the angle scale 41a. The scale range of the angle scale 41a can be set according to the actual adjustment requirements of the curing lamp assembly 20. For example, the scale range of the angle scale 41a can be from -30° to +30°, with a minimum scale value of 1°.

[0080] In some embodiments, a first length scale 42a extending along a first horizontal direction Y may be provided on the first base 311, and a second indicator needle 42b is mounted on the side of the first movable member 313 facing the first base 311, such as... Figure 2 As shown. The first movable part 313 moves along the first horizontal direction Y to drive the second indicator needle 42b to point to different positions of the first length scale 42a. The scale range of the first length scale 42a is adapted to the sliding stroke of the first movable part 313. The minimum scale can be set to 1mm, and the corresponding angle value of the curing lamp assembly 20 is marked at key positions. For example, sliding 50mm corresponds to an angle adjustment of 10°, which is convenient for operators to quickly correspond.

[0081] In some embodiments, a locking block is provided on the first base 311, and the locking block has a strip-shaped hole extending along the first horizontal direction Y. The first movable member 313 has a mounting hole. When the first movable member 313 slides to the target position, a locking bolt is inserted into the mounting hole and the strip-shaped hole, and the locking bolt is tightened to press the first movable member 313 tightly onto the locking block to fix the position of the first movable member 313, ensuring that the curing lamp assembly 20 can always be maintained at a preset angle.

[0082] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is another schematic diagram of the adjustment mechanism 30 provided in an embodiment of this application. Optionally, the adjustment mechanism 30 further includes a height adjustment component 32, which includes a second base 321, a second guide member 322, a second movable member 323, a roller 324, and a wedge block 325. The second base 321 is located below the first base 311. The second guide member 322 is connected between the second base 321 and the first base 311, guiding the movement of the first base 311 and the second base 321 toward or away from each other.

[0083] The second movable member 323 is disposed on the second base 321 and is movable relative to the second base 321 in the first horizontal direction Y. A roller 324 is rotatably disposed on the second movable member 323. The wedge block 325 has a bottom surface and an inclined surface facing away from each other. The bottom surface is connected to the side of the first base 311 away from the curing lamp assembly 20. The roller 324 abuts against the inclined surface of the wedge block 325 and is able to roll along the inclined surface.

[0084] Guided by the second guide member 322, the second movable member 323 moves along the first horizontal direction Y, thereby driving the wedge block 325 and the angle adjustment component 31 to move up and down along the vertical direction Z. The height adjustment component 32 can realize the height adjustment of the curing lamp assembly 20 in the vertical direction Z, further improving the adaptability of the UV curing device 100 to different workpieces.

[0085] The second base 321 serves as the basic support component of the height adjustment assembly 32, and its material can be consistent with that of the first base 311. Two parallel second guide rails 326 can be installed on the top of the second base 321. The second guide rails 326 extend along the first horizontal direction Y. A second slider 327 is slidably mounted on each second guide rail 326. The side of the two second sliders 327 facing away from the second guide rails 326 is connected to the bottom of the second movable member 323 by bolts, so that the second movable member 323 can move stably along the second guide rails 326 with the second sliders 327.

[0086] The second movable component 323 can move smoothly relative to the first base 311 along the first horizontal direction Y under the action of driving force. The driving force can be achieved by manually pushing the second movable component 323, or by setting a driving component such as an electric push rod on the second movable component 323.

[0087] The second guide member 322 can adopt a guide post and guide sleeve structure. Specifically, the guide post is vertically fixed to the top of the second base 321, and the guide sleeve is correspondingly installed at the bottom of the first base 311. The guide post and the guide sleeve adopt a clearance fit, which ensures smooth relative sliding and provides reliable guiding constraints.

[0088] When the second movable member 323 moves along the second guide rail 326 via the second slider 327, the wedge block 325 and the roller 324 work together to drive the first base 311 to move up and down. The second guide member 322 is used to limit the displacement of the first base 311 in the horizontal direction, ensuring that the first base 311 only moves up and down in the vertical direction Z.

[0089] A roller 324 is rotatably mounted on the top of the second movable component 323 via a bracket. The axis of the roller 324 is perpendicular to the first horizontal direction Y. A wedge-shaped block 325 is wedge-shaped, and its bottom surface is fixedly connected to the bottom of the first base 311 by bolts or welding. The side of the wedge-shaped block 325 facing the roller 324 is an inclined surface, the inclination angle of which can be set according to the height adjustment range. During assembly, the outer circumferential surface of the roller 324 and the inclined surface of the wedge-shaped block 325 are tightly fitted together, forming a sliding fit.

[0090] When the height of the curing lamp assembly 20 needs to be adjusted, the second movable member 323 is driven to move along the first horizontal direction Y. The second movable member 323 will drive the roller 324 to move synchronously. Since the roller 324 is in contact with the inclined surface of the wedge block 325, during the movement, the roller 324 will roll up or down along the inclined surface, thereby generating an upward or downward thrust on the wedge block 325. Under the action of the thrust, the wedge block 325 will drive the first base 311 connected to it, as well as the entire angle adjustment assembly 31 and the curing lamp assembly 20, to move up and down along the vertical direction Z, thereby realizing the adjustment of the height of the curing lamp assembly 20.

[0091] Optionally, there are multiple second guide members 322, which are disposed on both sides of the second movable member 323. The multiple second guide members 322 can distribute the weight of the first base 311 and the structure above it, preventing excessive force on a single second guide member 322 that could lead to wear or deformation, and further improving guiding stability.

[0092] Optionally, the height adjustment assembly 32 may further include a second handwheel 328 and a second lead screw 329. One end of the second lead screw 329 is connected to the second movable member 323, and the other end is connected to the second handwheel 328. Rotation of the second handwheel 328 causes the second lead screw 329 to drive the second movable member 323 to move along the first horizontal direction Y. The function and specific structure of the second handwheel 328 and the second lead screw 329 are the same as those of the first handwheel 3151 and the first lead screw 3152 of the angle adjustment assembly 31, and will not be described in detail here.

[0093] A locking block with a strip-shaped hole can be fixed on the second base 321. The strip-shaped hole extends along the first horizontal direction Y. A corresponding mounting hole is opened on the second movable part 323. After the height is adjusted to the correct position, the locking bolt is passed through the mounting hole and the strip-shaped hole and tightened to fix the position of the second movable part 323 and prevent the height from shifting due to vibration during operation.

[0094] A height scale 43a extending vertically in the Z direction is provided on the side of the second base 321. The scale range is adapted to the lifting stroke of the curing lamp assembly 20. A third indicator needle 43b pointing to the height scale 43a is installed on the first base 311, which can intuitively display the current height value of the first base 311. A second length scale 44a extending in the first horizontal direction Y can also be provided on the second base 321, which cooperates with the fourth indicator needle 44b on the second movable part 323 to mark the height change value corresponding to different sliding distances. The height adjustment amount can be quickly understood through horizontal displacement. The dual scales improve the operating efficiency.

[0095] Optionally, the adjustment mechanism 30 further includes a front-to-back adjustment assembly 33, which includes a third base 331, a third guide rail 332, a third handwheel 334, and a third lead screw 335. The third base 331 is located below the first base 311. The third guide rail 332 is arranged along the first horizontal direction Y and is mounted on the third base 331. A third slider 333 is slidably disposed on the third guide rail 332, and the side of the third slider 333 facing away from the third guide rail 332 is connected to the first base 311.

[0096] The third handwheel 334 is connected to the third base 331 via a support. One end of the third lead screw 335 is connected to the bottom of the first base 311, and the other end is connected to the third handwheel 334. The rotation of the third handwheel 334 causes the third lead screw 335 to drive the first base 311 to move along the first horizontal direction Y.

[0097] The front and rear adjustment component 33 enables the curing lamp component 20 to achieve a wider range of positional adjustments in the horizontal direction. Together with the angle adjustment component 31 and the height adjustment component 32, a multi-dimensional adjustment system is formed, which allows the UV curing device 100 to adapt to workpieces of different sizes and placement positions, significantly improving the versatility and operational flexibility of the UV curing device 100.

[0098] Along the first horizontal direction Y, two parallel third guide rails 332 are mounted on the top of the third base 331, and a third slider 333 is slidably mounted on each third guide rail 332. The side of the two third sliders 333 facing away from the third guide rail 332 is connected to the bottom of the first base 311, so that the first base 311 can move stably along the third guide rail 332 with the third sliders 333, providing guidance for front and rear adjustment.

[0099] In some embodiments, a locking block is mounted on the third base 331, and the locking block has a mounting hole. The first base 311 has a strip-shaped hole extending along the first horizontal direction Y. When the first base 311 is adjusted to the target front-back position by the third handwheel 334, the locking bolt can be passed through the mounting hole of the locking block and the strip-shaped hole of the first base 311, and the bolt can be tightened to make the locking block fit tightly with the first base 311, restricting the sliding of the first base 311 along the third guide rail 332, and ensuring that the first base 311 and the structure above it are stable in the preset position.

[0100] The third base 331 is provided with a third length scale 45a extending along the first horizontal direction Y, and a fifth indicator needle 45b is installed on the side of the first base 311 facing the third base 331. When the third handwheel 334 is rotated to move the first base 311 along the third guide rail 332, the fifth indicator needle 45b will slide synchronously with the first base 311, and its tip will always be aligned with the corresponding mark on the third length scale 45a.

[0101] Please see Figure 4 , Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the UV curing equipment 1000 provided in an embodiment of this application. This application also provides a UV curing equipment, the UV curing equipment 1000 including a frame 200, the UV curing device 100 described in any of the above embodiments, and a feeding mechanism 300.

[0102] There are two UV curing units 100, both of which are mounted on the frame 200. A feeding mechanism 300 is located on the frame 200 and is used to transport the workpiece along the second horizontal direction X. The two UV curing units 100 are arranged along the first horizontal direction Y and are located on both sides of the feeding mechanism 300, with the first horizontal direction Y and the second horizontal direction X forming an angle.

[0103] Since the UV curing equipment 1000 of this application adopts the aforementioned UV curing device 100, the UV curing equipment 1000 has at least the beneficial effects of the aforementioned UV curing device 100, which will not be repeated here.

[0104] The feeding mechanism 300 is used to transport the workpiece along the second horizontal direction X. When the workpiece is transported to the irradiation area of ​​the curing lamp assembly 20 through the feeding mechanism 300, it can be irradiated by the curing lamp assemblies 20 on both sides at the same time. This not only improves the curing efficiency, but also ensures that the curing effect on both sides of the workpiece is uniform.

[0105] Specifically, the feeding mechanism 300 can adopt a conveyor belt conveying method to transport cylindrical battery cells, irregularly shaped parts, and other workpieces to be cured along the second horizontal direction X. The second horizontal direction X can be perpendicular to the first horizontal direction Y. The conveyor belt is arranged along the second horizontal direction X, and the surface of the conveyor belt is covered with a high-temperature resistant material to ensure that it will not deform or age under the irradiation of the curing lamp assembly 20.

[0106] Each curing lamp assembly 20 can be independently adjusted in angle, height, and front-back position via its own adjustment mechanism 30. For example, when processing irregularly shaped workpieces with different curvatures on both sides, the angles of the curing lamp assemblies 20 on both sides can be adjusted separately to allow UV light to irradiate the surfaces of both sides of the workpiece at the optimal angle. The symmetrical design of the dual curing lamp assemblies, combined with the independent adjustment function, greatly improves the adaptability of the UV curing device 100 to cylindrical and irregularly shaped workpieces of different sizes.

[0107] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this application and do not limit the scope of the patent application. Any equivalent structural transformations made based on the inventive concept of this application and the contents of the specification and drawings of this application, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the scope of patent protection of this application.
