DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] The utility model will be further described below in combination with the drawings and specific embodiments. Only for further illustrating the utility model, it cannot be understood as limiting the protection scope of the utility model.

[0021] As Figure 1 - Figure 4 The utility model discloses a more stable shutter control structure. Its core lies in through the positive and negative rotation of a motor 8, via a set of exquisite swing arm transmission mechanism, synchronously drives two arc plate-shaped shutters 3 located at the both sides of UV curing lamp 2 to carry out reverse swing, thereby realizing the automatic closing and opening of light box 1 opening.

[0022] Specifically, one side of the light box 1 is open for the printing material to go in and out. The UV curing lamp 2 is installed in the center of the inner cavity of the light box 1. Two arc-shaped shutter plates 3 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the UV curing lamp 2. The shutter plates 3 are made of aluminum and have heat dissipation protrusions on the outer peripheral walls for heat dissipation. The inner walls of the shutter plates 3 are pasted with reflective mirror pieces for reflecting the light of the UV curing lamp 2. The shutter plates 3 are normally closed to block the opening of the light box 1 and block the ultraviolet light. The bottom of each shutter plate 3 is provided with a mounting shaft 4, and the two ends of the mounting shaft 4 are fixedly connected with a first swing arm 5. The first swing arm 5 on the left side of the left shutter plate 3 is rotatably connected with the left side wall of the light box 1 through a rotating shaft 6, and the first swing arm 5 on the right side of the right shutter plate 3 is rotatably connected with the right side wall of the light box 1 through a rotating shaft 6. The first swing arm 5 on the right side of the left shutter plate 3 and the first swing arm 5 on the left side of the right shutter plate 3 are rotatably connected with the right side wall and the left side wall of the light box 1 through a transmission shaft 7, respectively. In this way, when the two transmission shafts 7 rotate in the same direction, they will drive the shutter plates 3 to rotate around the respective rotating shafts 6, but due to the arc-shaped design and installation position of the shutter plates 3, the synchronous and same-direction rotation of the two transmission shafts 7 will make the two shutter plates 3 approach or move away from each other. In order to realize the synchronous reverse rotation of the two transmission shafts 7, the following driving mechanism is adopted in this embodiment.

[0023] The motor 8 is fixed on a mounting plate 9 mounted on the outer side wall of the light box 1. Two opposite side plates 10 are also vertically fixed on the mounting plate 9, and vertical guide grooves 11 are formed on the opposite inner sides of the two side plates 10. A rectangular driving plate 12 is embedded in the two vertical guide grooves 11 through the sliding blocks (not shown in the figure) at both ends, so that it can only slide up and down in the vertical direction.

[0024] The output shaft of the motor 8 horizontally extends and is fixedly connected with an eccentric shaft 15. A first bearing 16 is mounted on the cylindrical end of the eccentric shaft 15. A horizontal driving groove 14 is formed on the bottom of the driving plate 12 along the length direction, and the width of the driving groove 14 is just matched with the outer diameter of the first bearing 16, so that the first bearing 16 can be placed in the driving groove 14 and roll along with it. When the motor 8 starts and the eccentric shaft 15 rotates, the center of the first bearing 16 will make a circular motion around the output shaft of the motor, and the radial component of the circular motion will force the driving plate 12 to make a reciprocating linear motion up and down under the constraint of the vertical guide grooves 11.

[0025] The outer end of each transmission shaft 7 is fixedly connected with a second swing arm 17 in the form of a plate, and the other end of the second swing arm 17 is connected with a push shaft 18. The center line of the driving plate 12 is located between the left and right second swing arms 17. A transverse push groove 13 is formed in the top of the driving plate 12 along the length direction, and the width of the push groove 13 is adapted to the outer diameter of the second bearing 19. Two second bearings 19 are respectively arranged on the two push shafts 18, and the two second bearings 19 are respectively arranged in the push groove 13 of the driving plate 12.

[0026] The linkage process is as follows: when the motor 8 drives the eccentric shaft 15 to rotate clockwise, the first bearing 16 pushes the driving plate 12 to move upward. Since the driving plate 12 moves upward, the push groove 13 on the driving plate 12 also moves upward, and the upper edge of the push groove 13 presses the two second bearings 19, forcing the left second swing arm 17 to swing counterclockwise and the right second swing arm 17 to swing clockwise. The two second swing arms 17 swing in opposite directions, respectively pulling the left transmission shaft 7 connected thereto to rotate counterclockwise and the right transmission shaft 7 connected thereto to rotate clockwise. The opposite rotation of the two transmission shafts 7 drives the two shutters 3 to open outward through the first swing arms 5 connected thereto. Conversely, when the motor 8 drives the eccentric shaft 15 to rotate counterclockwise, the driving plate 12 moves downward, and the lower edge of the push groove 13 presses the second bearings 19, causing the two second swing arms 17 to swing in opposite directions, thereby driving the two transmission shafts 7 to rotate in opposite directions and driving the two shutters 3 to close inward.

[0027] In order to ensure that the shutter 3 can be accurately stopped at the limit position of opening or closing, the position detection and control system is also provided in the embodiment. The opening micro switch 20 and the closing micro switch 21 are respectively arranged on the two side plates 10. At the same time, the left contact plate 22 and the right contact plate 23 are fixedly arranged on the mounting plate 9 and synchronously with the driving plate 12. When the driving plate 12 rises to the highest point under the action of the eccentric shaft 15, the left contact plate 22 moves upward and presses the button of the opening micro switch 20; at this time, the right contact plate 23 is in a low position and is not in contact with the closing micro switch 21. When the driving plate 12 moves downward to the lowest point, the right contact plate 23 presses the button of the closing micro switch 21; at this time, the left contact plate 22 is not in contact with the opening micro switch 20.

[0028] All electrical control is completed by a controller 24. The controller 24 is electrically connected with the signal output ends of the opening microswitch 20 and the closing microswitch 21 and the control end of the motor 8 respectively. In operation, the operator can send a "closing" or "opening" instruction to the controller 24 through an external button or other man-machine interface. For example, after sending a "closing" instruction, the controller 24 drives the motor 8 to rotate in a specific direction (for example, counterclockwise), and the shutter 3 starts to close. When the driving plate 12 moves down to the lowest point and the right contact plate 23 triggers the closing microswitch 21, the closing microswitch 21 sends a signal to the controller 24, and the controller 24 cuts off the power supply of the motor 8, so that the motor 8 stops rotating, and the shutter 3 is accurately stopped at the closing position. Similarly, when executing the "opening" instruction, the controller 24 drives the motor 8 to rotate in the opposite direction until the left contact plate 22 triggers the opening microswitch 20 and stops.

[0029] In summary, the utility model realizes the automatic, stable and accurate control of the UV curing lamp box shutter through the mechatronic design, effectively solves the drawbacks of manual operation, and has the advantages of safety, stability and automation.
