The utility model has the advantages that the structure design of the indicator light module is provided through the casing module, and the user can clearly and clearly grasp the operation state of the ultraviolet curing machine.

Before the present invention is described in detail, it should be noted that in the following description, similar elements are denoted by the same reference numerals.

Referring to Figures 1, 2, and 5, an embodiment of the ultraviolet curing machine for photocurable pigments of the present invention is suitable for curing a photocurable pigment which is painted on a nail of a palm or a sole, the ultraviolet curing machine comprising a casing mold. Group 3, and an ultraviolet light irradiation module 4 and an indicator light module 5 respectively mounted on the casing module 3.

Referring to Figures 1, 3 and 4, the casing module 3 includes a bottom plate 31 magnetically absorbing by a magnet, and a cover-like outer casing 32 having an opening facing the lower cover and being placed outside the bottom plate 31. a cover 33 having a cover-shaped opening facing the inside of the outer casing 32, a plurality of magnetic members 34 that are fixedly attached to the outer casing 32 and detachably magnetically adsorbed to the bottom plate 31, and one of the magnetic plates 34 that are detachably magnetized to the bottom plate 31 The top surface of the anti-reflection film 35.

The top surface of the bottom plate 31 has a plurality of finger grooves 311 respectively for positioning and positioning of the fingers, and a reflective area 312 distributed around the finger grooves 311 and capable of reflecting light upward. In the embodiment, the finger grooves 311 are designed to be embedded by fingers, but when implemented, they can also be designed to be embedded in the shape of the foot fingers, and can be prepared separately for the nail painting of the palm and the sole of the foot. The bottom plate 31 is for replacement use.

The outer casing 32 is a cover against the periphery of the bottom plate 31, and cooperates with the reflector 33 to define an illumination space 300 with an opening downward, and cooperates with the bottom plate 31 to define a palm and a foot insertion. The insertion port 301 of the illumination space 300. The reflector 33 has a light reflecting surface 331 facing the illumination space 300 and reflecting light, and the insertion cloth is provided with a plurality of mounting holes 332. The anti-reflection film 35 is located at the insertion opening 301, and the amount of light reflection can be greatly reduced.

Referring to FIGS. 3, 4, and 5, the ultraviolet light irradiation module 4 is mounted between the outer casing 32 and the opposite side of the reflector 33, and includes a plurality of exposed holes 332 and emits ultraviolet light toward the illumination space 300. The light-emitting diode 41, a start switch 43, a timer 44, a driver 42 for driving the light-emitting diodes 41, and a power terminal 45 for guiding an external power source.

The start switch 43 is a light-reflective sensor mounted on the top side of the reflector 33 and exposed in the illumination space 300 to be positioned above the anti-reflection film 35. The activation switch 43 includes a photosensitive element 431 and a light-emitting element 432 disposed side by side, and the light-emitting element 432 can emit sensing light downward toward the anti-reflection film 35, and the photosensitive element 431 can be sensed from the anti-reflection film 35. The sensation light is reflected upward, and the activation switch 43 is triggered when the photosensitive element 431 senses the sensing light, and drives the driver 42, the timer 44 and the indicator module 5 to be energized. Since the anti-reflection film 35 causes the amount of reflection of the sensed light to be greatly reduced, the photosensitive element 431 does not sense the sensed light when the palm or the sole of the foot has not been placed in the illumination space 300, and is placed when the palm or the sole of the foot is placed. When the light space 300 is illuminated, the palm and the foot will reflect the sensed light toward the photosensitive element 431 to trigger the start switch 43.

The timer 44 has a plurality of illumination settings respectively pre-set with a specific length of time, and the length of each illumination setting is further divided into a plurality of specific time periods, and the timer 44 further has a plurality of embedded devices exposed thereto. A time setting button 441 corresponding to the outer surface of the outer casing 32 and corresponding to the illumination settings. The timer 44 can start timing the corresponding time length of the corresponding illumination setting when one of the time setting buttons 441 is operated, for example, counting 10 seconds, 20 seconds or 30 seconds, etc., and outputting a start signal corresponding to the illumination setting, and At the end of the time period, a shutdown signal is output.

The driver 42 is connected to the LEDs 41, the activation switch 43 and the timer 44. The driver 42 is enabled to be activated by the activation signal, and the output is used to drive the LEDs. The body 41 emits a current of ultraviolet light, and can be triggered by the off signal to stop driving the light emitting diodes 41 to emit light.

The indicator light module 5 includes an elongated light guide member 51 that is spaced apart from the outer surface of the outer casing 32, and two light-emitting members 52 that can be driven to respectively emit a plurality of color lights toward one end of the light guide member 51. And an indicator controller 53 connected to the illuminating members 52. The light guiding member 51 is made of a light guiding material, and can guide the respective light emitting members 52 to project color light along the long direction thereof, and guide the guided light rays to extend outward along the long direction.

In this embodiment, the timer 44, the driver 42 and the indication controller 53 are integrated into one control circuit 600, but the implementation is not limited thereto.

The indicating controller 53 can be triggered to be enabled by the starting switch 43 to control the illuminating members 52 to generate color light of a specific color to indicate that the ultraviolet curing machine is currently in an enabled standby state. In addition, the indication controller 53 can also be triggered by the activation signals corresponding to the time setting buttons 441 to respectively drive the illuminating members 52 to generate different color lights, thereby indicating which time length of the light setting is activated, and The light-emitting members 52 are driven to be driven to be illuminated by the turn-off signal.

Referring to Figures 1, 4, and 5, when the ultraviolet curing machine of the present invention is used, if the nail is used for finger painting, the user can insert the palm into the illumination space 300 of the ultraviolet curing machine after the nail painting pigment, and The fingers are respectively positioned and positioned in the finger grooves 311 with the nails facing upward. At this time, the start switch 43 is touched by the palm, so that the driver 42, the timer 44 and the indicator module 5 are energized, and the light guides 51 of the indicator module 5 are presented. The color light representing the standby state allows the user to know that the UV curing machine is in the standby state.

Next, the user can perform one of the time setting buttons 441 according to the time required for the ultraviolet light hardening setting according to the nail painting raw material to start the illumination setting for a certain length of time. At this time, the driver 42 is triggered by the activation signal of the timer 44 to drive the LEDs 41 to start to emit light. When the specific time length is over, the driver 42 is used by the timer 44. The turn-off signal is triggered and the driving of the light-emitting diodes 41 is stopped. In addition, when the user pulls the palm away from the illumination space 300, the start switch 43 is stopped, and the start switch 43 immediately turns off the power supply for driving the driver 42, the timer 44, and the indicator module 5. The light-emitting diodes 41 are stopped from emitting light.

Since the light reflecting surface 331 of the reflector 33 and the reflective area 312 of the bottom plate 31 can reflect light, the ultraviolet light emitted by the ultraviolet light irradiation module 4 toward the illumination space 300 is uniform in the illumination space 300. The illumination is distributed to cause the painted pigment on the nail to solidify and shape.

When it is to be used to cure the photocurable pigment of the fingernail nail, since the bottom plate 31 can be easily detached, the bottom plate 31 suitable for the sole of the foot can be directly replaced, and then the sole of the foot is inserted into the illumination space 300, or the sole of the foot is placed. After being positioned on the bottom plate 31, the outer casing 32 is placed on the outside of the sole of the foot. Since it is used in the same manner as the palms described above, it will not be described again.

In this embodiment, the timer 44 is provided with three time setting buttons 441, and the indicator module 5 can generate four different color lights to respectively indicate the standby state and the three illumination setting states. In the implementation, the time length of each illumination setting can be further divided into a plurality of specific time periods, and the timer 44 generates a time signal corresponding to each specific time period of each time length, and the indication controller is respectively used. The 53 is designed to be driven by the activation signal to drive the indicator light to generate a specific color light, and is also sequentially touched by the time signals set by the respective illuminations, and gradually adjust the illumination brightness of the illumination elements 52, for example, Bright or faded, or switching to produce different colors of light, and thus through the brightness or color of the color light presented by the light guides 51, to clearly indicate the current timing progress.

Furthermore, in implementation, the same number of light guides 51 and light-emitting members 52 may be correspondingly set according to the number of specific time periods differentiated by the lengths of time, and the indication controller 53 is designed to be set by various illuminations. The time signals are sequentially triggered, and the light-emitting members 52 are driven to emit light one by one, so that the light-guiding members 51 are illuminated one by one, or the light-emitting members 52 are driven to be fully illuminated and then turned off one by one, which can also be used to indicate the current timing. schedule.

In addition, it should be noted that, in this embodiment, the casing module 3 is designed to be inserted into the palm and the sole of the foot, but when implemented, when the sole is used, the bottom plate 31 can be removed. Without being used, and placing the outer casing 32 directly on the sole of the foot, it is more convenient to handle the curing of the painted pigment of the sole of the foot.

Referring to Figures 5 and 6, the second embodiment of the ultraviolet curing machine for photocurable pigments of the present invention differs from the first embodiment in the design of the starting switch 43. For convenience of explanation, only the differences between the present embodiment and the first embodiment will be described below.

In this embodiment, the activation switch 43 is replaced by a light-blocking sensor, and the light-emitting element 431 and the light-emitting element 432 are mounted on opposite sides of the reflector 33 so as to be spaced apart from each other. The opposite side of the palm or sole of the light space 300. The illuminating element 432 can continuously emit the sensing light toward the photosensitive element 431, and the palm and the foot inserted into the illumination space 300 block the sensing light, and the photosensitive element 431 can not sense the light. When the light is sensed, it is triggered to drive the driver 42, the timer 44 and the indicator module 5 to be energized.

In practice, the activation switch 43 can also be a micro switch that can be placed in the illumination space 300 to be activated by the palm and the foot, and can drive the driver 42, the timer 44 and the indication during the activation of the touch. The lamp module 5 is energized to enable. Since the type of the start switch 43 is numerous and is not the focus of the present invention, it is not limited to the above types.

Furthermore, regardless of the type of the start switch 43 described above, the start switch 43 can also be optionally disposed on the bottom plate 31. When the light reflective start switch 43 is disposed on the bottom plate 31, the outer cover 32 is detachable. The illuminating module 4 is disposed on the bottom plate 31 with a signal connected to the first signal terminal (not shown) of the start switch 43 , and the housing 32 is provided with a first A signal terminal is detachably connected to the second signal terminal (not shown) for transmitting power and signals. Similarly, when the start switch 43 is changed to the light blocking type, the photosensitive element 431 and the light emitting element 432 may be respectively disposed on the bottom plate 31 and the outer casing 32, and the first signal terminal and the The second signal terminal is configured to conduct power and transmission signals required by the photosensitive element 431 and the light emitting element 432. However, the implementation manner of the startup switch 43 is not limited thereto.

In summary, by setting the structural design of the indicator module 5 in the casing module 3, the current functional state of the ultraviolet curing device can be more clearly indicated, for example, in the standby state, Which time length of the light setting is activated, and the timing of the indication during the ultraviolet light irradiation, so that the user can clearly and clearly grasp the use of the ultraviolet curing machine of the present invention, which is quite convenient and practical, so It is indeed possible to achieve the object of the invention.
