UV LED curing apparatus with improved housing and switch controller

摘要

The present invention is related to an UV LED curing apparatus, and more particularly, to an UV LED curing apparatus with improved housing and switch controller. The light reflective inner casing is preferably provided as an effective UV light reflector and as a supporting substrate of the UV LED light source while being capable of transmitting heat from the UV LED light source away for further heat dissipation to the ambient by the outer casing. The outer casing is detachably attached to the inner casing and allows a greater user interaction for decorative and entertainment purposes while also being a protective and heat dissipation means.

主权项

1. An UV LED curing apparatus, comprising:
a light reflective inner casing having a light reflective inner wall enclosing an inner chamber and an outer wall; wherein the inner chamber includes at least one front opening facing toward a front side of the apparatus; and wherein said inner casing provides a support structure for affixing an UV LED light source; an outer casing detachably attached to the outer wall of the inner casing; said outer casing and said inner casing defining a space suitable for affixing said UV LED light source to said inner casing; said UV LED light source comprising at least one UV LED module affixed to the inner casing and having a light emitting side facing toward the inner chamber thereof; and a switch controller comprising at least one button, a substrate and a photo interrupt module, said switch controller electrically connected to the UV LED light source; and said photo interrupt module located at the inner wall of the inner casing; wherein the substrate further comprises a timer and a current regulator integrated thereon; whereby the switch controller controls an on-off state of the UV LED light source with reference to a first input signal received from and triggered by said photo interrupt module to turn on the UV LED light source and with reference to a second input signal received from the timer and the current regulator to turn off the UV LED light source; and whereby the light reflective inner wall of the inner casing directs and reflects UV light emitted from the UV LED light source within the inner chamber thereof.
