Abstract

A fixing assembly for mounting UV lamps includes a base, a first gear and a plurality of mounting modules. The first gear is arranged on one side of the base; the mounting modules are arranged around the first gear. The mounting module includes a first driving assembly, a second driving assembly and a support frame. The first driving assembly is used to drive the second driving assembly and the support frame to move circumferentially around the first gear in a considerably horizontal plane, and the second driving component is used to drive the support to move back in a considerably vertical direction. The support frame is used for mounting UV lamp. The flexibility of the fixing assembly is improved. The UV lamp may comprehensively irradiate and cure the photosensitive adhesive.
