Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fabric heat transfer printing, specifically a fabric heat transfer ink curing device. Background Technology

[0002] Printing is a process of applying patterns to textiles using dyes or pigments. In traditional printing processes, ink curing methods include heat curing, UV curing, water-based low-temperature curing, and steam curing. Among these, UV curing is widely used in printing processes involving inks that use UV curing devices due to its fast curing speed and high curing precision. However, because the ultraviolet lamps in traditional UV curing devices pose certain risks to human health, the UV curing device needs to be shut down and the UV lamp replaced when it is damaged. This affects the ink curing process and thus disrupts the normal operation of the printing process. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a fabric heat transfer ink curing device to overcome the above-mentioned defects in the prior art.

[0004] According to the present invention, a fabric heat transfer ink curing device includes a housing, the housing being hollow and having an opening at the lower end. Multiple cylindrical lamp holders are rotatably connected to the upper side wall of the housing. Each cylindrical lamp holder has symmetrically arranged lamp slots, and an ultraviolet lamp is fixed within each lamp slot. Multiple cover plates corresponding to the cylindrical lamp holders are fixed to the upper surface of the housing, covering the upper side of the cylindrical lamp holders. The ultraviolet lamp located below the cylindrical lamp holder is energized, while the ultraviolet lamp located above the cylindrical lamp holder is de-energized.

[0005] Preferably, the upper side wall of the housing has multiple openings corresponding to the cylindrical lamp holder, and supports are fixed at both ends of the openings, with the cylindrical lamp holder rotatably connected between the two supports.

[0006] Preferably, the support has an annular groove that surrounds the axis of the support on the side near the cylindrical lamp holder. An arc-shaped contact is fixed to the bottom wall of the annular groove. The arc-shaped contact is located below the axis of the support. Two symmetrical single contacts are fixed to both the left and right ends of the cylindrical lamp holder. The single contacts are electrically connected to the ultraviolet lamp.

[0007] Preferably, the support is provided with connecting pins fixed to the upper surface of the housing on both sides, and two connecting blocks corresponding to the connecting pins are fixed at both ends of the cover plate. The connecting blocks are provided with through holes that run vertically through each other, and the connecting pins can be embedded in the through holes.

[0008] Preferably, the front and rear side walls of the housing are provided with through grooves for the fabric to pass through, a bottom plate is fixed to the lower end of the housing, and baffles are fixed to the left and right sides of the bottom plate, with the front and rear ends of the baffles being arc surfaces.

[0009] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: During the ink curing process, if a UV lamp malfunctions and fails to light up, after opening the cover, the cylindrical lamp holder can be rotated to move the intact UV lamp located on the upper side to the lower side. The intact UV lamp will then be powered on and emit light to carry out normal curing operations, while the previously damaged UV lamp will be rotated to the upper side to facilitate repair and replacement. This ensures that the ink curing operation proceeds smoothly during the maintenance of the ink curing device. Attached Figure Description

[0019] To make the objectives and advantages of this utility model clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with embodiments. It should be understood that the following text is merely used to describe one or more specific implementations of this utility model and does not strictly limit the scope of protection specifically claimed by this utility model. As used herein, the terms up / down and left / right are not limited to their strict geometric definitions, but rather include tolerances for reasonable and inconsistent machining or human errors. The specific features of this fabric heat transfer ink curing device are described in detail below:

[0020] One embodiment of this utility model:

[0021] Reference Figures 1-6 This utility model provides a fabric heat transfer ink curing device, including a housing 10, which is made of white acrylic sheet, so that it is possible to observe from the outside which ultraviolet lamp 42 inside the housing 10 is damaged and extinguished. The housing 10 is hollow and has an opening at the lower end. Multiple cylindrical lamp holders 40 are rotatably connected to the upper side wall of the housing 10. The cylindrical lamp holders 40 have symmetrical lamp slots 41, and ultraviolet lamps 42 are fixed in the lamp slots 41. Multiple cover plates 30 corresponding to the cylindrical lamp holders 40 are fixed on the upper surface of the housing 10. The cover plates 30 cover the upper side of the cylindrical lamp holders 40. The ultraviolet lamps 42 located on the lower side of the cylindrical lamp holders 40 are in a powered state, and the ultraviolet lamps 42 located on the upper side of the cylindrical lamp holders 40 are in a powered-off state.

[0022] Reference Figure 5 The upper side wall of the housing 10 has multiple openings 11 corresponding to the cylindrical lamp holder 40. Supports 12 are fixed at both ends of the openings 11, and the cylindrical lamp holder 40 is rotatably connected between the two supports 12.

[0023] Reference Figure 5 , Figure 6 The support 12 has an annular groove 13 around the axis of the support 12 on the side near the cylindrical lamp holder 40. An arc-shaped contact 14 is fixed on the bottom wall of the annular groove 13. The arc-shaped contact 14 is located on the lower side of the axis of the support 12. Two single contacts 43 are fixed on both the left and right ends of the cylindrical lamp holder 40. The single contacts 43 are electrically connected to the ultraviolet lamp 42.

[0024] Reference Figure 4 , Figure 5 The support 12 has connecting pins 15 fixed to the upper surface of the housing 10 on both sides. The cover plate 30 has two connecting blocks 31 corresponding to the connecting pins 15 fixed at both ends. The connecting blocks 31 have through holes that run vertically through them, and the connecting pins 15 can be embedded in the through holes.

[0025] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 4The front and rear side walls of the housing 10 are provided with through grooves for the fabric to pass through. A bottom plate 20 is fixed to the lower end of the housing 10. Baffles 21 are fixed to the left and right sides of the bottom plate 20. Both the front and rear ends of the baffles 21 are arc surfaces.

[0026] When this utility model is in use, the power supply supplies power to the arc-shaped contact 14, and the single contact 43 at both ends of the ultraviolet lamp 42 located on the lower side abuts against the arc-shaped contact 14, so that the ultraviolet lamp 42 located on the lower side is powered on and emits light, thereby emitting ultraviolet light into the housing 10.

[0027] The printed fabric passes through the slots at both ends of the housing 10. The printed fabric passes under the ultraviolet lamp 42. The ultraviolet light emitted by the ultraviolet lamp 42 cures the ink on the printed fabric. The baffle 21 ensures that the printed fabric passes smoothly through the housing 10.

[0028] If one of the UV lamps 42 located on the lower side is damaged and goes out, it can be determined by observing through the housing 10 which UV lamp 42 is damaged. Then, the corresponding cover plate 30 is removed from the housing 10, and the cylindrical lamp holder 40 is rotated so that the UV lamp 42 located on the upper side is rotated to the lower side. Then, the single contact 43 at both ends of the lamp 42 abuts against the arc contact 14, thereby energizing the UV lamp 42 that has been rotated to the lower side. After the damaged UV lamp 42 is rotated to the upper side, it is easy to replace it. After installing the new UV lamp 42 into the lamp slot 41, the cover plate 30 is replaced again.

[0029] Those skilled in the art will appreciate that various modifications to the above embodiments can be made without departing from the overall spirit and concept of this utility model. All such modifications fall within the protection scope of this utility model. The protection scheme of this utility model is defined by the appended claims.
