Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of PC solid board surface hardening treatment technology, specifically a coating and curing device for PC solid board surface hardening treatment. Background Technology
[0002] PC solid sheet, also known as polycarbonate solid sheet or endurance sheet, is an engineering plastic sheet with polycarbonate as its main component. Surface hardening treatment of PC solid sheet is a technology that enhances the surface hardness and wear resistance of PC solid sheet through specific methods. It can improve wear resistance, enhance weather resistance, improve optical properties, and enhance chemical stability. After hardening treatment, the service life of PC solid sheet is extended, and it can better maintain the smoothness and aesthetics of its appearance, thus broadening its application range and enabling it to be used in occasions with higher requirements for surface hardness and wear resistance.
[0003] The photocuring process for solid PC sheets is based on the photochemical reaction of photocurable resin. During the coating process, a photocurable coating containing photoinitiators, reactive diluents, and other components is evenly coated onto the surface of the solid PC sheet. When exposed to ultraviolet (UV) light of a specific wavelength, the photoinitiator absorbs the light energy and generates active species such as free radicals or cations. These species initiate polymerization and cross-linking reactions of unsaturated double bonds or other active groups in the photocurable resin, thereby enabling the coating to cure rapidly in a short time and form a hard, wear-resistant, chemically resistant, and optically sound cured film on the surface of the solid PC sheet.
[0004] In existing technologies, the air knife of the coating curing device usually draws in air directly from the outside, which can easily cause air containing some dust particles to adhere to the coating, affecting the performance and appearance of the coating. Secondly, the curing process generates certain waste gas, which affects air quality and the health of workers.
[0005] Therefore, a coating curing device for surface hardening treatment of solid PC boards is proposed to address the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0031] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. 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.
[0032] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this utility model provides a coating and curing device for surface hardening treatment of PC solid board, including a frame 1, two sets of conveying platforms 2 arranged in a front-to-back manner are installed on the frame 1, a coating mechanism 3 is arranged between the two conveying platforms 2, a recycling component 4 is arranged below the coating mechanism 3, an air knife-assisted leveling component 5 is arranged behind the coating mechanism 3, and a curing mechanism 6 is arranged behind the air knife-assisted leveling component 5.
[0033] The air knife-assisted leveling component 5 includes a mounting bracket 51. An air duct 52 is installed inside the mounting bracket 51. An air outlet 53 is provided on the air duct 52. The air duct 52 is connected to an air pump 54 through a pipe. The inlet of the air pump 54 is connected to an ion generator 55 through a pipe to eliminate static electricity and prevent the adsorption of dust particles. The inlet of the ion generator 55 is connected to a filter adsorption component 56 through a pipe. The inlet of the filter adsorption component 56 is connected to the curing mechanism 6 through a pipe. The air required by the air knife will pass through the filter adsorption component 56, thereby removing dust particles in the air and preventing them from affecting the coating on the surface of the PC solid board. The exhaust gas generated during curing will also be introduced into the filter adsorption component 56, thereby purifying the exhaust gas and preventing it from affecting air quality and the health of workers.
[0034] Specifically, the recycling component 4 includes a return tank 41, the bottom of which is connected to a collection tank 42. The inner wall of the collection tank 42 is provided with multiple layers of filter screens 43. The recycling component 4 recovers the paint that is not attached to the PC board to the greatest extent. At the same time, the collection tank 42 is provided with multiple layers of filter screens 43 to filter the recovered paint and remove any impurities and particles that may be mixed in, so as to facilitate the recycling and reuse of the paint.
[0035] Furthermore, a return pump 44 is connected to one side of the collection tank 42 near the bottom via a pipe. The outlet of the return pump 44 is connected to a return pipe 45, which is connected to the paint storage tank 31 of the coating mechanism 3, so that the filtered paint is returned to the paint storage tank 31.
[0036] Furthermore, a paint mixing mechanism 7 is installed on the paint storage tank 31. The paint mixing mechanism 7 keeps the paint in a uniform state during storage to prevent sedimentation and stratification. The paint storage tank 31 is connected to a metering pump 32 through a pipe, and the outlet of the metering pump 32 is connected to the coating pipe of the coating mechanism 3 through a pipe.
[0037] It is worth noting that the paint storage tank 31 is equipped with a liquid level window and a filling port. The liquid level window makes it easy to observe the liquid level of the paint inside the paint storage tank 31, and the filling port makes it easy to add paint.
[0038] It is worth noting that the filter adsorption component 56 includes a housing 561, inside which two symmetrically arranged partitions 562 are provided, and the space between the partitions 562 is filled with adsorption filler 563. The adsorption filler 563 can be activated carbon, which adsorbs organic pollutants in the photopolymerization waste gas on its surface, thereby achieving the purpose of purifying the waste gas.
[0039] It is worth mentioning that both the coating mechanism 3 and the curing mechanism 6 are equipped with control panels 8 on their tops, which are used to control and adjust the coating mechanism 3 and the curing mechanism 6.

In addition, this utility model also includes a power supply, a controller, and a switch, which are not the main technical points of this patent and will not be described in detail.
[0041] Working principle and process: The solid PC sheet is placed at the front end of the conveyor platform 2. The conveyor platform 2 transports the solid PC sheet to the coating mechanism 3. The paint is discharged from the paint storage tank 31, passes through the metering pump 32 and the coating pipe, and is then discharged through the nozzle, thus coating the surface of the solid PC sheet. The unadhered paint falls into the return tank 41 of the recovery component 4, and then into the collection tank 42. The filter screen 43 in the collection tank 42 can filter impurities and particles mixed in with the paint. The return pump 44 is started to guide the filtered paint into the paint storage tank 31. Under the conveying of the conveyor platform 2, the solid PC sheet is transported to the air knife-assisted leveling component 5. The air pump 54 is started, and the airflow passes through the air duct 52 and is discharged from the air outlet 53. The uniform airflow blown out by the air knife acts on the coating surface, causing the coating to flow quickly and evenly under the combined action of gravity and surface tension, effectively eliminating flow marks and bubbles, and significantly improving the smoothness of the coating. Then, the PC solid board is transported to the curing mechanism 6, where the coating is cured under the action of ultraviolet lamp. The waste gas generated during the curing process is introduced into the filter adsorption component 56, purified by the adsorption filler 563, and then introduced into the ion generator 55. The purified air is introduced into the air pump 54 along with the ions to avoid dust particles in the air from affecting the coating on the surface of the PC solid board.
