Background
The UV-LED market and applications in recent years have shown a rapidly growing situation. Compared with mercury lamps, the UV-LED has the advantages of lower energy consumption, longer service life, no toxicity and environmental protection, ensures the assistance of policies such as public policy, electricity saving and preferential benefit, continuously increases the replacement of the UV-LED on the mercury lamps, and is increasingly diversified in application. Currently, the photo-curing market occupies 80% of the market share of UV-LED applications, including applications such as painting, printing, exposure, coating, etc.
The UV lamp for spray painting needs to be manufactured into an air-cooled UV-LED light source with compact structure and high integration level. However, the popularization of the air-cooled UV-LED light source in the current market in the application field is not smooth, and there are three main limiting factors, namely (1) damage to the lamp head due to ink absorption of the lamp body, (2) frequent contact failure due to dragging of the cable joint by a drag chain, and (3) the requirement of three-dimensional spray painting on the optical power density of the lamp head cannot be met.
The most serious of the three factors is the ink absorption problem of the lamp body. Specifically, the most core structure of the inkjet printer is an inkjet trolley, two sides of the inkjet trolley are used for mounting UV-LED light sources, and the middle of the inkjet trolley is used for mounting an ink nozzle. In the spray painting process, the trolley continuously moves, the spray head accurately sprays the printing ink with different colors according to the control of a computer, and the lighted UV-LED solidifies the printing ink in real time to form the required spray painting pattern. In the process of ejecting the ink by the nozzle, the trolley always moves to generate gas turbulence, so that the ink can float around the trolley. Ink in the atmosphere of the UV-LED light source can be sucked into the lamp cap from an air inlet of the air channel, and the sucked ink can be directly attached to the surfaces of the fan and the radiating fins due to the fact that the existing lamp body is designed to be the straight-through air channel. Ink accumulated on the surface of the fan can lead to the failure of the fan, so that an air cooling mechanism fails, and finally the lamp cap is damaged due to overheating. Ink buildup on the heat sink surface can cause a reduction in the heat sink heat dissipation efficiency and can also cause the lamp head temperature to rise, thereby affecting lamp head reliability.
A second problem is that poor contact of the cap cable connector frequently occurs in practical applications. In the existing UV-LED light source, a control circuit board is integrated in a lamp body, and a cable for external control and power supply is electrically connected with a lamp holder circuit board through a wire-to-board terminal. The cable can produce the tensile stress to the terminal junction along with the tow chain back-and-forth movement in the air brushing process, because the line is to the board terminal connection of plugging, so the terminal junction is very easily appeared contact failure under long-time effect of dragging. In addition, the wire-to-board terminals are made of plastic, and after ink is attached to the terminals, the plastic terminals are corroded, so that the pressing force for inserting the terminals is insufficient, and the poor contact condition of the cable plug is further aggravated. The lamp holder cable contact is bad, and the lamp holder is abnormally extinguished or abnormally twinkling in the spray painting process, so that the image which needs to be solidified is not solidified, and waste products are directly reported.
The third problem is that the light power density of the lamp holder is insufficient, and the requirement of three-dimensional spray painting cannot be met. The three-dimensional spray painting and the plane spray painting are relative concepts and are based on a leading edge trend of the plane spray painting. The planar spray painting means that the sprayed and painted image is thin in thickness, the image is mainly formed by tiling of printing ink of different colors, the three-dimensional spray painting means that the sprayed and painted image has specific concave-convex fluctuation in thickness, the image is formed by the color of the printing ink and the concave-convex together, and the image is more vivid. The ink jet amount of the ink in the three-dimensional spray painting is increased (the larger the ink jet amount is, the thicker the ink layer is, the higher the required illumination of the light source is, the light source is used for penetrating through the whole ink layer), and a large amount of white ink is needed for priming (the lowest penetration coefficient of the white ink is, the same ink layer thickness is, the lower the penetration coefficient is, the higher the required illumination of the light source is, the light source is used for penetrating through the whole ink layer), so that the three-dimensional effect of the spray painting pattern. The existing UV-LED lamp for spray painting is usually 4-5W/cm2The illumination of the ink jet printing head is not enough to meet the requirement of three-dimensional jet printing, and the whole thick ink layer cannot be completely cured, so that the adhesion of the ink is insufficient and the residual smell of the ink is very large.

The heat radiation module 3 is used for heat exchange, and includes a support portion 30 provided above and a heat radiation tooth portion connected to a lower end surface of the support portion. The upper end surface of the supporting part is provided with a groove for arranging the COB module, and good heat conduction is formed between the COB module 2 and the heat dissipation module 3 through the contact of the COB module and the heat dissipation module; and the side of the supporting part is a plane and is tightly attached to the shell to form good heat conduction.

During the use, the air that contains printing ink can get into wind channel module 5 after the air intake 61 through the casing mainboard. The air current can form the rotatory backward flow of air current at the "splayed" root of wind channel module 5, and the printing ink molecule is because liquid, can deposit in backward flow department, and pure gas can follow "splayed" top outflow wind channel module 5 after the wind pressure accumulation to a certain extent to the effect of "ink separation" has been realized.

The heat dissipation module 3 is in close contact with the whole casing, so that the casing is brought into the whole heat dissipation system, and the total surface area for heat dissipation is expanded. Because the light source can move along with the trolley, namely the shell and the air can form relative movement at a certain speed, a large amount of heat can be emitted from the surface of the shell, the pressure of a traditional heat radiation system formed by the heat radiation tooth part inside the cavity of the light source and the fan 41 is weakened, the overall temperature of the light source is further reduced, and the service life of the light source is further prolonged.

In addition, because the power supply of the COB module 2 is a pulse signal, when the peak value of the pulse signal is twice that of the conventional constant signal, the total power consumed by the light source is unchanged, but the peak intensity of the transient state is doubled.
The light source realizes that the peak illumination is 2.5 times of that of the traditional light source through the secondary optical design and the control of the pulse signal, and can easily meet the requirement of the thickness of the ink for three-dimensional spray painting.
