[0002] Curing equipment for printing inks is an indispensable part of the printing industry. It uses specific technologies to quickly dry and cure inks on printed materials, thereby improving production efficiency and product quality. The most common method is to use UVLED technology, which provides a high-intensity, uniform ultraviolet light source to achieve rapid curing. Compared with traditional curing methods, UVLED curing can significantly shorten curing time and improve production efficiency.

[0003] While existing UV LED curing lamp equipment can be equipped with control systems to adjust the intensity, irradiation time, and operating mode of the UV light source, the following problems still exist:

[0004] In the process of rapidly curing printed inks, the fixed design of UV curing lamps makes it difficult to adjust the size of the UV light source irradiation range, and it is difficult to reduce or expand the irradiation range, resulting in poor adaptability during the processing.

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.

[0021] Reference Figure 1-4 A curing device for printing ink includes a first curing lamp cover 1 and a second curing lamp cover 2. The second curing lamp cover 2 is slidably fitted inside the first curing lamp cover 1. A UV curing lamp body 3 is installed on the top surface of the inner wall of the second curing lamp cover 2. A wiring frame 4 is provided through the edge of the top wall of the second curing lamp cover 2. Mounting plates 5 are fixedly installed at the front and rear ends of the top surface of the first curing lamp cover 1. A motor part 6 is fixedly installed in the middle of the side of the top surface of the second curing lamp cover 2. An internal thread seat mechanism 7 and a rotating support mechanism 9 are fixedly installed in the middle of the two sides of the top surface of the first curing lamp cover 1, respectively. A threaded shaft 8 is installed at the output end of the motor part 6. The end of the threaded shaft 8 is rotatably connected to the rotating support mechanism 9. The threaded shaft 8 is threadedly connected inside the internal thread seat mechanism 7.

[0022] In this utility model, a fixed end plate 10 and a limiting sleeve mechanism 12 are fixedly installed on the front end face and back end face of the first curing lamp cover 1 and the second curing lamp cover 2, respectively. A U-shaped column frame 11 is inserted through and fixedly connected to the fixed end plate 10. The U-shaped column frame 11 is slidably inserted into the inside of the limiting sleeve mechanism 12.

[0023] In this utility model, the mounting plate frame 5 includes a mounting cross arm 501 and an assembly through hole 502, the assembly through hole 502 being opened through the plate surface of the mounting cross arm 501.

[0024] More specifically, a mounting cross arm 501 with an assembly through hole 502 is provided so that the assembly structure can be fixed by the mounting cross arm 501 during assembly.

[0025] In this utility model, the motor part 6 includes a motor support plate 601, a reducer support plate 602, a servo motor 603, and a reducer 604. The motor support plate 601 and the reducer support plate 602 are both fixedly connected to the second curing lamp cover 2. The servo motor 603 and the reducer 604 are fixedly connected to the motor support plate 601 and the reducer support plate 602, respectively. The output end of the servo motor 603 is driven by the threaded shaft 8 through the reducer 604.

[0026] More specifically, by setting the output end of the servo motor 603 to be driven and connected to the threaded shaft 8 through the reducer 604, the motor can bear a larger torque during drive transmission, thereby avoiding transmission instability and ensuring motor stability.

[0027] In this utility model, the internal threaded seat mechanism 7 includes an internal threaded tube 702 and a threaded tube support frame 701. The threaded tube support frame 701 is fixedly connected to the internal threaded tube 702 and the first curing lamp cover 1. The rotating support mechanism 9 includes a rotating support plate 901 and a bearing 902. The bearing 902 is fixedly installed on the surface of the rotating support plate 901. The end of the threaded shaft 8 is installed inside the bearing 902. The rotating support plate 901 is fixedly connected to the first curing lamp cover 1.

[0028] More specifically, by setting a rotating support plate 901 and a bearing 902 to provide rotational support for the end of the threaded shaft 8, the support position of the threaded shaft 8 is made more stable, ensuring the stability of the structural transmission.

[0029] In this utility model, the limiting sleeve mechanism 12 includes a limiting sleeve support arm 1201 and a limiting sliding sleeve tube 1202. The limiting sliding sleeve tube 1202 passes through and is fixedly inserted into the inside of the limiting sleeve support arm 1201, and the U-shaped column frame 11 is slidably inserted into the inside of the limiting sliding sleeve tube 1202.

[0030] More specifically, by setting the U-shaped column frame 11 to slide inside the limiting sleeve tube 1202, the use of a separate cylindrical structure is avoided, thus avoiding the need to set a limiting blocking structure at the end of a separate cylindrical structure.

[0031] Working principle: When the constraint platform for UV light source irradiation composed of the first curing lamp cover 1 and the second curing lamp cover 2 is expanded or reduced, the control motor 6 is started, which drives the threaded shaft 8 to rotate. Since the first curing lamp cover 1 and the second curing lamp cover 2 are directional sliding limiters (that is, the structure is kept stable by sliding and limiting the U-shaped column frame 11 within the limit sleeve mechanism 12), the internal thread seat mechanism 7 is driven to move laterally on the surface of the rotating threaded shaft 8, so that the first curing lamp cover 1 and the second curing lamp cover 2 can be stably expanded or slid and contracted, that is, the UV curing lamp body 3 is refracted on the inner wall of the first curing lamp cover 1 and the second curing lamp cover 2, thereby increasing or decreasing the range of the irradiated UV light source.

[0032] It should be noted that, in this document, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used only to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Furthermore, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus.
