The patent application (Publication Number: US20240034074A1) describes an active energy irradiation device that includes multiple active energy irradiation units arranged in a predetermined direction. The device features an air-cooled heatsink thermally connected to the irradiation units, a housing enclosing the units and heatsink, an intake unit for air circulation, an exhaust unit for air discharge, and a duct allowing air to flow through the heatsink to the exhaust unit. An air presence region surrounding the duct before passing through the heatsink is also provided within the housing.

Furthermore, the device includes a polygonal pipe-shaped duct with outer surfaces in contact with the air presence region. The air presence region is defined by inner surfaces of the housing and outer surfaces of the duct, with the intake unit introducing air into this space. Additionally, the system can include multiple active energy irradiation devices arranged in contact with each other in the predetermined direction, allowing for efficient energy irradiation processes using ultraviolet rays or electron beams. The design of the device aims to optimize cooling efficiency and air circulation for effective energy irradiation applications.
