Description

紫外光固化装置 技术领域
本揭露有关于一种固化装置，特别是一种紫外光固化装置。
背景技术
近年来，紫外光发光二极管(UV-LED)已经商业化；由于紫外光发光二极管有较低的功耗，故己能用于替代了许多紫外光固化装置的紫外光汞灯。虽然采用紫外光发光二极管的紫外光固化装置能达到较低的功耗，但仍然需要克服氧气抑制的问题，导致紫外光固化质量受到明显影响。然而，现有的紫外光固化装置并无法提供有效的解决方案。
由于目标物一直在移动，故空气可以沿着目标物的移动路径进入在紫外光固化装置与目标物之间的空间；因此，在紫外光固化程序中无法创建密闭环境。除非整个工作空间均处于真空环境下，否则不可能创造真空环境。另外，形成真空环境将会大幅提升成本，并不符合成本效益。
另一种选择是通过注入气体来抑制氧气(例如，氮气、氦气、氩气及二氧化碳等)。同样的，在整个工作空间中插入气体将会大幅提升成本，也不符合成本效益。

请参阅图1及图2，其为本揭露的第一实施例的紫外光固化装置的前视图及 侧视图。如图所示，紫外光固化装置1包含喷气模块11、流量调节模块12及紫外光固化模块13。
紫外光固化模块13包含壳体131、多个紫外光源132及冷却剂通道133。所述多个紫外光源132设置于壳体131的底部，并可呈直线排列。在本实施例中，所述多个紫外光源132可为紫外光发光二极管阵列；在另一实施例中，所述多个紫外光源132也可为紫外光汞灯或其它类似的光源。上述各元件的数量可依实际需求调整；在另一实施例中，紫外光固化模块33也可只有一紫外光源332或具有数个冷却剂通道133。冷却剂通道133设置于紫外光固化模块13内部；冷却剂T由冷却剂通道133的入口流入，再由冷却剂通道133的出口流出，以冷却紫外光固化模块13。所述多个紫外光源132及其它元件会产生大量的热能，而通过冷却剂通道133则可有效地冷却所述多个紫外光源132及其它元件，使紫外光固化模块13能正常运作。在本实施例中，冷却剂T可为液体冷却剂；在另一实施例中，冷却剂T也可为气体冷却剂。
在本实施例中，喷气模块11为中空且扁平的容器，其包含上面板111、下面板112及边框113；在另一实施例中，喷气模块11也可为具有不同的形状的容器。在本实施例中，上面板111及下面板112可为玻璃制成，如石英玻璃；在另一实施例中，上面板111及下面板112也可由其它适当的透明材料或紫外光穿透(UVpass)材料制成。上面板111设置于边框113的上侧，而下面板112设置于边框113的下侧，使得在上面板111、下面板112及边框113之间形成气体容室C。在本实施例中，上面板111及下面板112可为平面镜；在另一实施例中，上面板111及下面板112也可为凹面镜、凸面镜及其它各种球面镜或非球面镜。
紫外光固化装置1更包含包含多个第一气体通道A1 in；所述多个第一气体通道A1 in设置于上面板111上，以与气体容室C连接。下面板112则包含多个气体出口A out；所述多个气体出口A out平均分布于下面板112。紫外光固化模块13则设置于喷气模块11上，且紫外光固化模块13的所述多个紫外光源132与上面板111接触。在另一实施例中，紫外光固化装置1也可只有一个第一气体通道A1 in及一个气体出口A out，各元件的数量均可依实际需求调整。
流量调节模块12与气体储存槽(未绘于图中)及所述多个第一气体通道A1 in连接。气体储存槽将气体N输入至所述多个第一气体通道A1 in，流量调节模块12则调节进入气体容室C的气体N的流量。在本实施例中，气体N可为氮气；在另一实施例中，气体N也可为二氧化碳或其它非活性气体；在又一实施例中，气体 N也可为惰性气体，例如氦气、氩气等。

请参阅图3A及图3B，其为本揭露的第一实施例的紫外光固化装置的喷气模块的下面板的结构图(图3A及图3B未按比例绘制)。如图3A所示，下面板112的所述多个气体出口A out可为孔洞。如图3B所示，下面板112的所述多个气体出口A out也可为沟槽。在另一实施例中，下面板112的结构也可依实际需求变化。
请参阅图4，其为本揭露的第一实施例的紫外光固化装置的运作状态的示意图。如图所示，当紫外光固化装置1启动时，工作台14可沿箭头F的方向移动目标物K。然后，气体N由喷气模块11的下面板112的所述多个气体出口A out向第一方向D1喷出至目标物K的表面，以排除目标物K的表面的空气；同时，紫外光固化模块13的所述多个紫外光源132发出的紫外光U通过上面板111及下面板112向第一方向D1照射。
上述的机制使所述多个紫外光源132发出的紫外光U照射至目标物K的表面的瞬间，所述多个气体出口A out喷出的气体N已排除目标物K的表面的空气，使目标物K表面的墨水在固化的过程中不会受到空气中氧气的影响，故紫外光固化质量能够大幅提升。使用者能适当的通过流量调节模块12调整气体N的流量，使紫外光固化装置1能达到最佳的紫外光固化质量。

由上述可知，紫外光固化装置1以特殊的结构设计整合喷气模块11及紫外光固化模块13，故可以有效地在紫外光固化程序中有效地抑制氧气，使紫外光固化质量能够大幅提升。
另外，紫外光固化装置1的喷气模块11为中空且扁平的容器，其能够以高效率的方式运用气体N。因此，紫外光固化装置1不需真空环境也可以用少量的气体N有效地在紫外光固化程序中有效地抑制氧气，故能有效地降低成本，且符合成本效益。
此外，紫外光固化装置1不但可应用于印刷业，更可应用于其它不同的行业，且能在符合成本效益的前提下有效地提升紫外光固化质量，应用上更为广泛。
上述仅为举例，紫外光固化装置1的各元件及其协同关系均可依实际需求变化，本揭露并不以此为限。
值得一提的是，现有的紫外光固化装置并无法提供有效的解决方案以克服氧气抑制的问题，导致紫外光固化质量受到明显影响。相反的，根据本揭露的实施例，紫外光固化装置以特殊的结构设计整合喷气模块及紫外光固化模块，故可以有效地在紫外光固化程序中抑制氧气，使紫外光固化质量能够大幅提升。
另外，根据本揭露的实施例，紫外光固化装置以特殊的结构设计整合喷气模块及紫外光固化模块，并通过喷气模块将惰性气体或非活性气体直接喷发至目标物的表面以排除目标物的表面的空气，故不需要创造真空环境，使紫外光固化装置能有效地降低成本，且符合成本效益。
此外，根据本揭露的实施例，紫外光固化装置以特殊的结构设计整合喷气模块及紫外光固化模块，并通过喷气模块提供抑制氧气用的惰性气体或非活性气体，故能大幅地降低惰性气体或非活性气体的消耗量，使紫外光固化装置能有效地降低成本，且符合成本效益。
