Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of UV printing curing technology, and more specifically, to a UV printing dynamic curing energy-saving device. Background Technology
[0002] In the modern printing industry, UV printing is widely used in packaging, advertising, labeling and other fields due to its outstanding advantages such as fast drying speed, high printing quality and good environmental performance. The core of UV printing is to use a UV curing device to quickly cure the ink under ultraviolet light to achieve rapid image and text setting. However, the current mainstream UV curing equipment has exposed many energy waste problems in actual operation, which seriously restricts the sustainable development of the industry.
[0003] Traditional UV curing devices mostly adopt a static curing mode, where the UV lamp is continuously turned on in a fixed position to irradiate and cure the printed matter. Regardless of whether the printed matter is moved, the UV lamp always runs at full power, resulting in a large amount of energy waste. In addition, existing UV curing devices are inconvenient to adapt to the height of the printed matter during installation. Therefore, a dynamic curing energy-saving device for UV printing is proposed. Summary of the Invention
[0004] In order to overcome the above-mentioned defects of the prior art, the present invention provides a UV printing dynamic curing energy-saving device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a UV printing dynamic curing energy-saving device, comprising a fixed box set on a conveyor belt, a fixed cover set in the middle of the fixed box, a stabilizing rod and a first threaded rod inserted in the middle of the fixed cover, one end of the first threaded rod passing through the fixed box and connected to a motor, starting the motor to control the rotation of the first threaded rod, which can drive the fixed cover to move simultaneously with the printed items at the bottom in the middle of the fixed box, improving the curing effect, and the stabilizing rod to improve the stability of the movement of the fixed cover, support plates are symmetrically fixedly connected to both sides of the fixed box, and a sensing sensor is fixedly connected to the top of the support plate, which can sense whether the printed items are about to enter the bottom of the fixed box or are about to be moved out of the bottom of the fixed box;
[0006] A curing lamp is installed in the middle of the fixing cover. The curing lamp and the fixing cover work together to cure the printed position at the bottom of the fixing box. A fixing cylinder is fixedly connected to the top of the fixing cover. A fan is installed in the middle of the fixing cylinder. Filter screens are symmetrically arranged on the upper and lower sides of the fan. When the fan is turned on, the heat inside the fixing cover is discharged through the fixing cylinder, which can dissipate the heat generated inside the fixing cover and play a role in cooling. The filter screens also play a role in dust filtration. A first strip-shaped hole is opened in the middle of the fixing box at a position corresponding to the fixing cylinder. The fixing cylinder is used to limit the movement of the fixing cylinder.
[0007] The top of the fixed box is equipped with a backup battery and a control box. The fixed box is symmetrically equipped with installation and adjustment mechanisms on both sides. The backup battery improves the service life, and the control box can control the curing lamp to turn on when the sensor detects that the item is about to move to the bottom of the fixed box, and control the curing lamp to turn off when the sensor detects that the item is about to be moved out of the bottom of the fixed box. This avoids the curing lamp running at full power all the time, which would be wasteful and saves energy.
[0008] Preferably, the stabilizer bar is fixed in the middle of the fixed box, the motor is fixed on one side of the fixed box, and the first threaded rod is threadedly connected to the fixed cover. The stability of the fixed cover movement is improved by the stabilizer bar.
[0009] Preferably, the fixing cylinder passes through the middle of the first strip hole, the inner cavity of the fixing cylinder is connected to the inner cavity of the fixing cover, and the bottom opening of the fixing cover is set as a trumpet-shaped structure. The fixing cylinder is limited by the first strip hole, so as not to affect the heat dissipation inside the fixing cover.
[0010] Preferably, the control box is electrically connected to the backup battery, curing lamp, induction sensor, motor, and fan. By receiving the induced current from the induction sensor through the control box, the motor, fan, and curing lamp can be controlled to start, making it convenient to control and use.
[0011] Preferably, the installation adjustment mechanism includes installation side plates symmetrically arranged on both sides of the fixed box, the surface of the installation side plates is provided with a second strip hole, and the two sides of the fixed box are fixedly connected with second threaded rods at positions corresponding to the second strip hole.
[0012] Preferably, the second threaded rod passes through the second strip-shaped hole and is fitted with a fastening bolt. A fixing plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the mounting side plate. Mounting holes are symmetrically opened on both sides of the fixing plate. By rotating the fastening bolt, the mounting side plate can be controlled to move up and down on both sides of the fixing box. The height of the fixing box on the conveyor belt can be adjusted according to the installation position, thereby adjusting the height of the fixing cover for easy use. The fixing plate and mounting holes facilitate easy installation and fixing. The second threaded rod slides in the middle of the second strip-shaped hole to improve the stability of the fixing box installation and can be adjusted as needed.
[0013] The technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows:
[0014] This invention firstly uses two sensors to detect whether the printed material is about to enter the bottom of the fixing box and whether it is about to be moved out of the bottom of the fixing box. By detecting whether the printing material is at the bottom of the fixing box, the curing lamp is controlled to turn on and off, always running at full power to avoid waste and achieve energy saving. Furthermore, by starting the motor to control the fixing cover to move with the printed material, dynamic curing can be achieved, improving the curing effect. In addition, the installation height of the fixing box can be easily adjusted by the installation adjustment mechanism, improving the use effect.
[0015] This utility model also allows the heat inside the fixed cover to be discharged through the fixed cylinder by starting the fan, and the filter screen provides protection to prevent debris from entering the middle of the fixed cylinder. The stabilizing rod improves the stability of the fixed cover's movement, the backup battery extends its service life, and the first strip hole limits the fixed cylinder, improving the overall performance.
[0016] In summary, through the interaction of the above-mentioned functions, the curing lamp can be turned on and off by detecting whether printed materials have moved to the bottom of the fixing box, thus avoiding the curing lamp running at full power all the time, which would cause waste and achieve energy saving.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0023] As attached Figure 1-3 The UV printing dynamic curing energy-saving device shown includes a fixed box 1 set on a conveyor belt. A fixed cover 2 is set in the middle of the fixed box 1. A stabilizing rod 3 and a first threaded rod 4 are inserted in the middle of the fixed cover 2. One end of the first threaded rod 4 passes through the fixed box 1 and is connected to a motor 5. Starting the motor 5 controls the rotation of the first threaded rod 4, which can drive the fixed cover 2 to move simultaneously with the printed items at the bottom in the middle of the fixed box 1, thereby improving the curing effect. The stabilizing rod 3 also improves the stability of the movement of the fixed cover 2. Support plates 11 are symmetrically fixedly connected to both sides of the fixed box 1. A sensing sensor 12 is fixedly connected to the top of the support plate 11. The sensing sensor 12 can sense whether the printed items are about to enter the bottom of the fixed box 1 or are about to be moved out of the bottom of the fixed box 1.
[0024] A curing lamp 6 is provided in the middle of the fixed cover 2. With the cooperation of the curing lamp 6 and the fixed cover 2, the printed position at the bottom of the fixed box 1 can be cured. A fixed cylinder 7 is fixedly connected to the top of the fixed cover 2. A fan 8 is provided in the middle of the fixed cylinder 7. Filter screens 9 are symmetrically arranged on the upper and lower sides of the fan 8. When the fan 8 is turned on, the heat inside the fixed cover 2 is discharged through the fixed cylinder 7, which can discharge the heat generated inside the fixed cover 2 and play a role in cooling. The filter screen 9 plays a role in dust filtering. A first strip hole 10 is opened in the middle of the fixed box 1 at the position corresponding to the fixed cylinder 7. The fixed cylinder 7 is limited by the fixed cylinder 7.
[0025] The top of the fixed box 1 is equipped with a backup battery 13 and a control box 14. The fixed box 1 is symmetrically equipped with installation adjustment mechanisms on both sides. The backup battery 13 improves the service life, and the control box 14 can control the curing lamp 6 to turn on when the sensor 12 detects that the item is about to move to the bottom of the fixed box 1, and control the curing lamp 6 to turn off when the sensor 12 detects that the item is about to be moved out of the bottom of the fixed box 1. This avoids the curing lamp 6 running at full power all the time, which would cause waste and save energy.
[0026] As attached Figure 1-3As shown, the stabilizer bar 3 is fixed in the middle of the fixed box 1, the motor 5 is fixed on one side of the fixed box 1, the first threaded rod 4 is threadedly connected to the fixed cover 2, the fixed cylinder 7 passes through the middle of the first strip hole 10, and the inner cavity of the fixed cylinder 7 is connected to the inner cavity of the fixed cover 2. The bottom opening of the fixed cover 2 is set as a horn-shaped structure. The control box 14 is electrically connected to the spare battery 13, the curing lamp 6, the induction sensor 12, the motor 5, and the fan 8. The stabilizer bar 3 improves the stability of the movement of the fixed cover 2. The first strip hole 10 limits the fixed cylinder 7 so as not to affect the heat dissipation inside the fixed cover 2. The control box 14 receives the current induced by the induction sensor 12 and can control the motor 5, the fan 8, and the curing lamp 6 to start, which is convenient for control and use.
[0027] As attached Figure 1-4 As shown, the installation and adjustment mechanism includes mounting side plates 15 symmetrically arranged on both sides of the fixed box 1. A second strip-shaped hole 18 is opened on the surface of the mounting side plate 15. A second threaded rod 19 is fixedly connected to both sides of the fixed box 1 at positions corresponding to the second strip-shaped hole 18. The second threaded rod 19 passes through the second strip-shaped hole 18 and is fitted with a fastening bolt 20. A fixing plate 16 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the mounting side plate 15. Mounting holes 17 are symmetrically opened on both sides of the fixing plate 16. By rotating the fastening bolt 20, the mounting side plate 15 can be controlled to move up and down on both sides of the fixed box 1. The height of the fixed box 1 on the conveyor belt can be adjusted according to the installation position, thereby adjusting the height of the fixing cover 2 for convenient use. The fixing plate 16 and mounting holes 17 facilitate installation and fixation. The second threaded rod 19 slides in the middle of the second strip-shaped hole 18, improving the stability of the fixed box 1 installation and allowing for adjustment as needed.
[0028] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: Before use, the fixing plate 16 is installed on the horizontal plates on both sides of the conveyor belt through the mounting hole 17, and the mounting side plate 15 is pressed by rotating the fastening bolt 20 to realize the installation and fixing of the fixing box 1. The installation height of the fixing box 1 can be adjusted by controlling the second threaded rod 19 to slide inside the second strip hole 18, thereby adjusting the installation height of the fixing cover 2.
[0029] When in use, when one of the sensing sensors 12 detects that an item is about to move to the top of the fixed box 1, the curing lamp 6 is turned on and the motor 5 is started to control the fixed cover 2 to move at the bottom of the fixed box 1, so that the moving speed of the fixed cover 2 is lower than the moving speed of the conveyor belt, until one side wall of the fixed cover 2 is in contact with the other side wall of the inner cavity of the fixed box 1.
[0030] When another sensor 12 detects that an item is about to be moved from the bottom of the fixing box 1, it controls the curing lamp 6 to turn off. This turns off the curing lamp 6 when the bottom of the fixing box 1 is not passing the item, thus saving energy. At the same time, the fan 8 is started to cool down the curing lamp 6 and improve its service life.
[0031] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
