[0022] The following detailed description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, will further illustrate this application. Detailed Implementation

[0023] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments.

[0024] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the application.

[0025] Currently, various adhesives used in product manufacturing require curing. Existing adhesive curing devices use a motor to drive a fan, which blows the heat generated by the heating element into the heating chamber of the device to cure the product.

[0026] However, during the product curing process, existing epoxy curing devices can only cure ordinary epoxy resins, resulting in incomplete curing and poor curing effects. For example, if UV adhesive is not fully cured, on the one hand, fogging may occur, reducing the product's transparency and affecting the visual effect; on the other hand, the hardness of the UV adhesive may not reach the expected value, making the product prone to deformation, scratches, or breakage.

[0027] Therefore, in order to solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this application provides a curing device that adds a UV curing component. When the curing device is curing, the air in the second space is heated by the heating component, and the fan component drives the heated air in the second space to flow into the first space through the air outlet to heat and cure the product in the first space. The product is further cured by the UV curing component. This device can cure both ordinary epoxy resin and UV adhesive, thus improving the curing effect.

[0028] The following detailed description of some embodiments of this application is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.

[0029] Please also refer to Figures 1 to 4 One embodiment of this application discloses a curing device 100. The curing device 100 includes a body 10, an air outlet assembly 20, a heating assembly 30, a fan assembly 40, and a UV curing assembly 50. The body 10 has a cavity 11 for accommodating a product to be cured; the air outlet assembly 20 has an accommodating cavity 21, and an air outlet 210 is provided on the side wall of the accommodating cavity 21; the air outlet assembly 20 includes a first mounting portion 22 and a second mounting portion 23, the first mounting portion 22 being connected to the end of the cavity 11, and the second mounting portion 23 extending into the cavity 11 and forming a first space with the inner wall of the cavity 11; the heating assembly 30 is disposed within the accommodating cavity 21; the fan assembly 40 includes a first connecting portion 41 and a second connecting portion 42, the first connecting portion 41 ... The heating element 30 is connected, and the second connecting part 42 is connected to the side wall of the accommodating cavity 21. The second connecting part 42, the heating element 30, and the inner wall of the accommodating cavity 21 together form a second space. The air outlet 210 communicates with the first space and the second space. The heating element 30 is used to heat the air in the second space, and the fan assembly 40 is used to drive the heated air to flow into the first space through the air outlet 210. The UV curing assembly 50 is installed on one side of the air outlet assembly 20, and the UV curing assembly 50 is used to cure the product.

[0030] In some embodiments of this application, when the curing device 100 is curing, the air in the second space is heated by the heating component 30, and the fan component 40 drives the heated air in the second space to flow into the first space through the air outlet 210 to heat and cure the product in the first space. The product is further cured by the UV curing component 50. This method can cure both ordinary epoxy resin and UV adhesive, thus improving the curing effect.

[0031] In some embodiments of this application, the heating component 30 can be a heating wire assembly, a PCT heating element, or other heating elements that can generate heat. This embodiment does not impose any limitations on this.

[0032] In some embodiments of this application, the heating element 30 is located in the second space and generates heat within the second space. The fan assembly 40 blows air into the second space and drives the heated air to flow into the first space through the air outlet 210 to heat the product.

[0033] Understandably, at least one air outlet 210 is provided on at least one side wall of the accommodating cavity 21. The air outlet 210 communicates with the first space and the second space so that the fan assembly 40 can blow air into the second space and drive the heated air in the second space to flow into the first space through the air outlet 210.

[0034] Understandably, heating wire components or PCT heating elements can cure ordinary epoxy resins, but cannot directly and effectively cure UV adhesives. Therefore, this application improves the curing effect by setting a UV curing component 50 in the curing device 100 to cure UV adhesives.

[0035] In some embodiments of this application, the bottom of the accommodating cavity 21 is provided with a hollow portion 211 for fixing the UV curing component 50, and the UV curing component 50 can directly cure the product, which is beneficial to improving curing efficiency.

[0036] In some other alternative embodiments, the UV curing component 50 is detachably mounted on the side wall of the cavity 11. For example, the UV curing component 50 is detachably connected to the outer wall of the bottom of the cavity 11 to achieve curing of the UV adhesive in the product and improve the curing effect.

[0037] In some other optional embodiments, the UV curing component 50 may also be installed on the outer wall of the bottom of the cavity 11. Specifically, placing the UV curing component 50 below the product and placing the heating component 30 above the product can ensure that the product is heated evenly, which is beneficial to the curing of the product and thus improves the curing effect of the product.

[0038] In some embodiments of this application, the UV curing assembly 50 includes a UV lamp 51 and a UV plate 52. The UV lamps 51 are spaced apart on the UV plate 52, and their positions correspond to the cutout positions of the cutout portions 211. The UV lamps 51 can pass through the cutout portions 211, allowing the UV plate 52 to abut against the cutout portions 211. The UV lamps 51 are used to irradiate the product with light to cure it.

[0039] In some embodiments of this application, the UV curing assembly 50 further includes a heating device (not shown) and a temperature control system (not shown). The heating device is used to heat the product to optimize the curing effect. The temperature control system is used to ensure that the entire curing process is carried out within an ideal temperature range.

[0040] In some embodiments of this application, the body 10 includes a housing 12 and a base 13. The housing 12 includes a first opening and a second opening. The first mounting portion 22 is connected to the first opening. The base 13 is connected to the second opening.

[0041] In some embodiments of this application, the base 13 includes a front and a back. The front and the back are used to place different products.

[0042] In some embodiments of this application, the base 13 can be detachably connected to the second opening, which is beneficial for installing the base 13. For example, if the product is placed face up, the front of the base 13 faces the heating element 30; if the product is placed face down, the back of the base 13 faces the heating element 30.

[0043] Further integration Figure 2 As shown, a groove 131 is provided on the base 13. The bottom surface of the groove 131 is defined as the front, and the side opposite to the bottom surface of the groove 131 (convex surface) is defined as the back. Specifically, when using the groove 131 to place the product, due to the large internal space, a product with a larger size (e.g., height) can be placed to ensure that the product can be close to the heating element 30 and the UV curing element 50, which is beneficial for curing the product. When using the convex surface to place the product, due to the smaller internal space, if a product with a larger size (e.g., height) is placed, it is not possible to ensure the distance between the product and the heating element 30 and the UV curing element 50 respectively. Therefore, a product with a smaller size (e.g., height) can be placed to ensure the distance between the product and the heating element 30 and the UV curing element 50 respectively, which is beneficial for improving curing efficiency.

[0044] In some embodiments of this application, the base 13 is provided with a bending portion 132 and a snap-fit ​​portion 133 around its perimeter. Both the bending portion 132 and the snap-fit ​​portion 133 are used to connect with the second opening.

[0045] In some embodiments of this application, the curing device 100 further includes an air guide bracket 60. The air guide bracket 60 is installed between the bottom of the accommodating cavity 21 and the heating element 30. The air guide bracket 60 is used to install the heating element 30, which helps to improve the positional stability of the heating element 30.

[0046] In some embodiments of this application, the fan assembly 40 includes a fan 43 and a fan 43 bracket. One end of the fan 43 bracket is connected to the fan 43, and the other end of the fan 43 bracket is connected to the side wall of the receiving cavity 21. A recess 440 is provided at the end of the fan 43 bracket away from the fan 43, one end of the heating element 30 extends into the recess 440, and the other end of the heating element 30 is connected to the air guide bracket 60, further improving the positional stability of the heating element 30.

[0047] In some embodiments of this application, the air outlet assembly 20 and the fan 43 bracket are integrated into a single design to reduce the number of parts, simplify assembly, and thus reduce manufacturing costs.

[0048] In some embodiments of this application, the air guide bracket 60 has a boss 61 on the side away from the bottom of the receiving cavity 21. The cross-section of the boss 61 gradually decreases along the direction close to the heating component 30.

[0049] In some embodiments of this application, the boss 61 may be arc-shaped. Specifically, the various sides of the boss 61 are transitioned by arcs. By setting the boss 61 to an arc shape, it is beneficial to facilitate the smooth flow of air within the second space.

[0050] Further integration Figure 3 As shown, the boss 61 is provided with a mounting groove 62. The mounting groove 62 is used to fix the heating element 30, which helps to improve the stability of the connection between the heating element 30 and the air outlet element 20.

[0051] In some embodiments of this application, the curing device 100 further includes a top cover 70. The top cover 70 is fitted to the end of the cover and the receiving cavity 21. The top cover 70 is provided with an air inlet 71.

[0052] In some embodiments of this application, the upper cover 70 may be detachably connected to the end of the accommodating cavity 21. The number of air inlets 71 may include multiple, for example, one, two, three, or more than or equal to four, and this embodiment does not impose any limitation.

[0053] In some embodiments of this application, by covering the top cover 70 and the end of the accommodating cavity 21, on the one hand, dust, moisture and other contaminants can be effectively blocked from entering the interior of the curing device 100, extending the service life of the curing device 100 and reducing maintenance costs. On the other hand, it can help maintain the temperature in the second space, thereby improving the curing effect.

[0054] Further integration Figure 4As shown, the curing device 100 further includes a temperature sensing element 80. The temperature sensing element 80 is used to detect the temperature within the first space.

[0055] In some embodiments of this application, the first mounting portion 22 of the air outlet assembly 20 is provided with a through hole 220. The temperature sensing element 80 passes through the through hole 220 and extends into the first space, which facilitates accurate detection of the temperature within the first space.

[0056] In some embodiments of this application, the curing apparatus 100 further includes a control component 90. The temperature sensing element 80, the heating element 30, and the UV curing element 50 are all electrically connected to the control component 90. The control component 90 is used to regulate the temperature within the first space.

[0057] In some embodiments of this application, after obtaining the temperature detected by the temperature sensing element 80, the control component 90 can accurately control the temperature in the first space according to the temperature, so as to better cure the product.

[0058] In some embodiments of this application, the control component 90 includes a PCB power board 91, a touch panel 92, and a PCB control board 93. A receiving groove 72 is provided on the end face of the upper cover 70. The touch panel 92 is mounted in the receiving groove 72. The PCB power board 91 is connected to the PCB control board 93, and the PCB power board is mounted on one side of the fan assembly 40. The PCB power board 91 is electrically connected to both the touch panel 92 and the PCB control board 93. The PCB control board 93 is used to automatically adjust the temperature according to the temperature detected by the temperature sensing element 80 to adapt to the amount of adhesive dispensed for different products, and simultaneously precisely control the temperature within the first space. This avoids the phenomenon of burning or yellowing due to excessively high or low temperatures caused by different amounts of adhesive dispensed for different products, or failure to cure in time, thus improving the curing effect.

[0059] In some embodiments of this application, the touch panel 92 is used to display the temperature detected by the temperature sensing element 80. Different temperatures can be adjusted for different products to ensure the temperature during the product curing process, which is beneficial to improving curing efficiency.

[0060] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this application and are not intended to limit it. Although this application has been described with reference to the embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this application without departing from the spirit and substance of the technical solutions of this application.
