  • Patent number: 11959624
    Abstract: A light emitting device includes a housing; a light source unit; and a cooling unit provided in the housing to discharge heat to an outside of the housing by means of a gas, the heat being generated by the light source unit. The cooling unit includes an introduction portion, a heat exchange portion, and a circulation portion that guides the gas from the introduction portion to the heat exchange portion. The circulation portion includes a first flow path receiving the gas from the introduction portion, and a second flow path receiving the gas from the first flow path, and being connected to the heat exchange portion. The first flow path includes a portion having a flow path area larger than a flow path area of the introduction portion.

  • Patent number: 11806687
    Abstract: An active energy radiation unit includes a light source which radiates ultraviolet rays onto a target object, and a main gas supply mechanism which is disposed to be adjacent to the light source and ejects an inert gas. The main gas supply mechanism includes a receiving part which receives nitrogen gas, a first ejection port which is provided at a position between the receiving part and the light source in a transfer direction and closer to the target object than the receiving part and a second ejection port which is provided between the receiving part and the first ejection port in the transfer direction.
