Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of LED light curing technology, and in particular to a UVLED curing experimental device that simulates the paper feeding process of a printing press. Background Technology
[0002] Ultraviolet (UV) curing printers are widely used in the printing industry. After ink is applied to paper, it is placed in a UV lamp box for irradiation. Under the catalytic effect of UV light, the ink dries and cures rapidly. Large-scale printing equipment generally requires the use of special inks to improve curing efficiency, which are very expensive. However, using ordinary inks cannot achieve the same effect in a short time, and increasing the amount of UV irradiation can easily cause problems such as film and paper deformation and yellowing.
[0003] Chinese Patent CN208789256U discloses an online curing printing test machine, including an anilox roller, a doctor blade, a pneumatic blade head, a printing roller, a printing plate roller, a printing plate, and a printing substrate. It also includes a curing device and a control center. The curing device includes a lamp housing containing a substrate. Multiple UV mercury lamps are mounted on the substrate, forming a luminescent surface facing the printing roller. A connecting rod is located at the rear of the lamp housing and connected to a swing mechanism. A support column is located at the lower end of the swing mechanism. The control center controls the operation of the curing device. This device uses UV mercury lamps to irradiate the printing substrate for curing. The control center can adjust the direction and power of the UV mercury lamp irradiation to simulate the printing conditions of various printing press models. Simultaneously, a cooling pipe reduces the temperature of the UV mercury lamps, extending their lifespan.
[0004] However, the above technical solution has the following shortcomings: although the device can perform curing experiments, it cannot simulate the changes in paper tension during use, and therefore cannot determine the effect of paper tension on ink curing, which reduces the practicality of the device.

Detailed Implementation
[0023] Example 1
[0024] like Figures 1-6 As shown in the figure, the UV LED curing experimental device for simulating the paper feeding operation of a printing press proposed in this embodiment includes a base 1 and a paper fixing device; a support block 2 and a simulation body 5 are provided on the base 1, a conveyor seat 3 is provided on the support block 2, a curing sample lamp 6 is provided on the conveyor seat 3, a light shield 7 is provided on the simulation body 5, the light shield 7 is located outside the curing sample lamp 6, and a horizontally movable mounting seat 4 is provided on the conveyor seat 3. The number of lamps and the wavelength configuration of the curing sample lamp 6 are arranged according to the expected curing lamp scheme. It can be a single lamp with different rows and different wavelengths, or two or more lamps.
[0025] The paper-fixing device includes a first upright 8 and a second upright 10 mounted on the mounting base 4, a unwinding roller 9 rotatably connected to the first upright 8, a fixing cylinder 11 rotatably connected to the second upright 10, a locking assembly mounted on the fixing cylinder 11, and an adjustment mechanism mounted on the mounting base 4.
[0026] The adjustment mechanism includes two third uprights 16 mounted on the mounting base 4, a first threaded rod 17 rotatably connected to one side of the third upright 16, a threaded block 18 threadedly connected to the first threaded rod 17, a crossbar 21 mounted on the threaded block 18, a fixed seat 23 and a slider 22 mounted on the crossbar 21, an adjustment roller 24 rotatably connected to the crossbar 21, and a first guide rod 20 mounted on the other side of the third upright 16; the slider 22 is slidably connected to the first guide rod 20, the top end of the first threaded rod 17 passes through the third upright 16, and a handwheel 19 is provided at the through end of the first threaded rod 17; a pressure sensor (not shown) is provided inside the adjustment roller 24 to monitor the tension of the paper in real time.
[0027] The locking assembly includes a locking block 12 fitted onto a fixed cylinder 11, a first magnet 13 disposed on the locking block 12, and a second magnet 14 disposed on the fixed cylinder 11; the first magnet 13 and the second magnet 14 are magnetically connected, and two symmetrically distributed locking plates 15 are disposed on the locking block 12, and the locking plates 15 and the fixed cylinder 11 are locked together.
[0028] In this embodiment, before testing, the printed paper needs to be placed and fixed. The unwinding roller 9 is rotated to unwind the paper wound on it, and the paper is passed over the two adjusting rollers 24. Then, the end of the paper is placed on the second magnet 14 of the fixing cylinder 11, and the locking block 12 is embedded into the fixing cylinder 11, so that the first magnet 13 and the second magnet 14 are magnetically connected to complete the fixing operation of the paper.

While adjusting the fixing seat 23, the unwinding roller 9 needs to be operated appropriately to avoid the paper being too tight or too loose. This realizes the simulation of paper tension, judges the influence of paper tension on ink curing, and improves the practicality of the device.
