Abstract
An ultraviolet curing system separates the source of ultraviolet radiation and the controller, allowing an operator to stand at a relatively great distance away from the ultraviolet radiation when applied. The apparatus includes a base unit and a source of intense ultraviolet (UV) radiation coupled to the base unit by way of a pivoting arm. A controller, disposed remotely from the base unit, allows an operator to activate the source of UV radiation at a distance of at least several feet away from the source. The preferred embodiment allows an operator to control the UV radiation at a distance of 10 to 100 feet or more using a wired or wireless interconnection between the controller and the base unit. A detachable infrared lamp may be optionally disposed along side the UV source.
Description
- This application claims priority from U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 60/679,868, filed May 11, 2005, the entire content of which is incorporated herein by reference.
- This invention relates generally to ultraviolet-light curing apparatus and, in particular, to a system separates the source of ultraviolet radiation and the controller, allowing an operator to stand at a relatively great distance away from the ultraviolet radiation when applied.
- UV-cured paints, overcoats and other polymers are becoming increasingly popular, since drying time can be reduced to a matter of seconds. Accordingly, in many applications, particularly where time is of the essence, UV-curable paints and other coatings now compete with air-dried formulations. One such time-sensitive application is automobile body and restoration,
- A distinct problem with UV-curable materials is safety, since the strong ultraviolet radiation used in the curing process can be damaging to the retina, skin, or other body parts. This safety issue is apparent in prior-art auto-body curing systems, such as the unit shown in
FIG. 1 . To cure a coating made onto a repair of avehicle 102, a stand-alone unit 110 is used having an integral control panel (not shown) causingultraviolet radiation 122 to strike the surface of the vehicle when placed in close proximity thereto. The unit is typically placed on some sort of a stand, which may be moveable. A distinct drawback with such an arrangement is that the operator must stand right next to the unit while the ultraviolet radiation is being applied, thereby exposing the user to harmful rays. - This invention improves upon existing systems by decoupling the source of ultraviolet radiation and the controller in two separate units, thereby allowing an operator to stand at a relatively great distance away from the ultraviolet radiation when applied.
- The apparatus includes a base unit and a source of intense ultraviolet (UV) radiation coupled to the base unit by way of a pivoting arm. A controller, disposed remotely from the base unit, allows an operator to activate the source of UV radiation at a distance of at least several feet away from the source. The preferred embodiment allows an operator to control the UV radiation at a distance of 10 to 100 feet or more using a wired or wireless interconnection between the controller and the base unit. A detachable infrared lamp may be optionally disposed along side the UV source.
-
FIG. 1 is a perspective drawing of a prior art UV curing system showing how harmful ultraviolet rays may be seen by a nearby operator; -
FIG. 2 is a drawing of a preferred embodiment of the invention utilizing an elongate cord connected to a remote controller; -
FIG. 3 is an alternative preferred embodiment of the invention, wherein the remote controller is wirelessly coupled to a base unit; -
FIG. 4 is a detailed drawing of a control panel associated with equipment constructed in accordance with the invention; and -
FIG. 5 is detailed drawing of an optional infrared heater attached to an ultraviolet curing head. - Referring now to
FIG. 2 , there is shown generally at 202 a preferred embodiment of the invention. Abase unit 204 containing the majority of control circuits and other electrical components, is mounted on aplatform 206 which is mobile due tocasters 208. Attached to the back ofcontrol 204, is a bracket including a vertically orientedpivot 214 and a horizontally orientedpivot 212, allowingarm 210 connected thereto to be moved up and down and side-to-side for a preferred placement relative to an article to be cured. - The distal end of the
arm 210 is attached to anotherpivot 216 allowing multiple degrees of freedom oflamp housing 224 coupled to thepivot 216 through aU-shaped bracket 220. Multipleultraviolet lamps 230 contained in thehousing 224, are controlled by way of acable 232 which attaches to the base unit. - In contrast to existing equipment, a
remote controller 240 is provided, havingswitches 242 associated with the cook control of the UV lamps. Thecontroller 240 is connected to the base unit through acable 250 in this case, allowing an operator to stand a relatively great distance away from the lamps inhousing 224, thereby affording greater protection than if the operator were close to the surface being cured. In the preferred embodiment, thecable 250 is greater than 20 feet, and may be as long as 100 feet or more, allowing the operator to even walk into a different room once the equipment is set up. -
FIG. 3 is a drawing which shows a different embodiment of the invention, wherein at least the ultraviolet lamp controls are turned on and off through aremote controller 340 usingcontrols 342 but wherein, in this case, wireless communication occurs by way ofRF path 350 to areceiver 352 contained in the base unit. Infrared control may also be used, however, this would a line-of-sight disposition of the remote. To ensure that the ultraviolet light is not triggered by an unwanted source, digital communication is used between the remote and base unit, with some form of digital queue, password or other authentication information as required before activation of the lamps. -
FIG. 4 is a detailed drawing of the control panel 402 from an operator's perspective. Panel 402 is preferably hinged withbolts 406 holding the panel in position during use.Indicator lamp 410 shows when the power is on, andindicator lamp 412 shows when ultraviolet light is being emitted.Indicators - Switch 430 is used to turn main power on and off, where
switch 432 is used to turn UV lamp power on and off, assuming the unit is in the localmode using switch 436. The other position ofswitch 436 is remote, which, in this position, only the remote unit can be used to activate the ultraviolet lamps. - Switch 434 is used to switch between lamp intensity 200 watts to 300 watts, and
switch 438 is used to activate a time mode, if desired.Item 420 is a cycle timer, anditem 422 is an elapsed time meter. -
FIG. 5 is a perspective drawing which shows the optional use of aninfrared lamp 502 removably connected to the ultraviolet lamp housing tostandoffs 504. An infrared lamp is coupled to the base unit through aseparate cable 506, with additional controls being supplied if this option is selected. The need for infrared and ultraviolet lamps is still required, since undercoats are generally cured through heat, whereas overcoats may now be cured with ultraviolet. Should the time come when all types of paint are UV-cured, the need for the infrared option may no longer be necessary.
