[0002] In the field of panel furniture manufacturing and wood product processing, edge banding technology is one of the key processes to ensure product quality and aesthetics. In the edge banding process, hot melt adhesive, as a commonly used and effective bonding material, is significantly affected by temperature in its performance. In the operation of semi-automatic edge banding machines, temperature management of the substrate is particularly critical. When the factory is in the low temperature season, the drop in ambient temperature will cause the substrate temperature to drop, which in turn affects the bonding performance of the hot melt adhesive. Specifically, under low temperature conditions, the curing speed of the hot melt adhesive is accelerated, shortening its effective bonding time, which not only affects the bonding strength between the edge banding material and the substrate, but also increases the risk of defects in the production process.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, the surface temperature of the book and the film is monitored in real time, and the corresponding temperature threshold and confidence interval are set, which intelligently solves the technical problem of maintaining the edge sealing quality under different ambient temperatures. The control method first obtains the surface temperature information of the book and the film, and then determines whether measures need to be taken according to the preset temperature threshold. If the surface temperature of the book is lower than the threshold, the control system determines the operating parameters of the fan, including angle, air volume and fan height, to blow dry hot air to the book.

[0030] The following is combined with Figure 1-5 This application is described in further detail.

[0031] like Figure 1-3 As shown, a temperature-controlled automatic sealing machine is used for packaging and sealing books, comprising a transfer mechanism 1 for transporting books, a cleaning mechanism 2 located above the transfer mechanism 1 and used for cleaning books, and a sealing mechanism 3 located on one side of the end point of the transport path of the transfer mechanism 1, and a control module electrically connected to the cleaning mechanism 2, wherein the sealing mechanism 3 comprises a sealing frame 31, a trimming component 32 located on the sealing frame 31, a first transporting part 33 located between the trimming component 32 and the transfer mechanism 1, and a film packaging component 34 located above the first transporting part 33 and connected to the frame of the first transporting part 33, as the book moves on the first transporting part 33, the book passes through the film sealing opening in the film packaging component 34 so that the film is sleeved on the book, and is transported to the trimming component 32 for thermosetting cutting of the film; The film packaging component 34 is provided with a temperature control heating component 35 for controlling the temperature of the film, and the temperature control heating component 35 is electrically connected to the control module. The cleaning mechanism 2 includes a cleaning frame 21 covered above the transfer mechanism 1, and a fan 22 located on the inner side of the cleaning frame 21 and electrically connected to the control module, and the air outlet of the fan 22 is aligned with the film packaging port of the film packaging component 34. The control module is used to control the fan 22 to blow dry hot air to the book, and / or control the temperature control heating component 35 to heat the film.

[0032] In this embodiment, this temperature-controlled automatic sealing machine realizes the automatic packaging and sealing of books through a series of precisely designed components and control modules. First, the transfer mechanism 1 is composed of a first transfer unit 11 and a second transfer unit 12, which are vertically arranged to adapt to the transportation of books and ensure that the books enter the sealing machine smoothly. The cleaning mechanism 2 is composed of a cleaning frame 21 and a fan 22. The fan 22 is located on the cleaning frame 21, aligned with the film packaging port, and adjusted by the control module to blow dry hot air to the book to ensure the cleanliness and dryness of the book surface and the film, creating ideal conditions for sealing.

[0033] The sealing mechanism 3 includes a sealing frame 31, a trimming component 32, a first carrier 33, and a film packaging component 34. The temperature control heating component 35 on the film packaging component 34 is responsible for adjusting the temperature of the film to ensure the flexibility and adhesion of the film during the packaging process. It is electrically connected to the control module to achieve precise temperature control. The book moves on the first carrier 33, passes through the film packaging port of the film packaging component 34, and the film is placed on the book, and then transported to the trimming component 32 for thermosetting cutting to complete the packaging.

[0034] The control module serves as the brain of the entire sealing machine, coordinating the work of various components to ensure the automation and accuracy of the entire packaging process. When the book reaches the trimming component 32, the second carrier component will pause and wait for the trimming component 32 to complete the thermal cutting, and then start the second carrier component to transport the packaged book to the next process. This design not only improves the packaging efficiency, but also ensures the packaging quality, reduces manual intervention, and realizes the automation and intelligence of book packaging.

[0035] In summary, this paragraph describes a temperature-controlled automatic sealing machine, which solves the problem of accelerated curing speed of hot melt adhesive and shortened effective bonding time due to excessively low substrate temperature when sealing the edge of a book in a low-temperature environment through an integrated temperature-controlled heating component 35 and a control module. The sealing machine heats the film through the temperature-controlled heating component 35 to ensure that the film maintains a suitable temperature when sealing the book, thereby improving the bonding effect of the hot melt adhesive; at the same time, the control module also controls the fan 22 to blow dry hot air to the book, further ensuring that the surface of the book and the film is dry, avoiding the influence of humidity on the bonding quality, and achieving high-efficiency and high-quality book sealing at different ambient temperatures.

[0036] Further, such as Figure 1 As shown, the transfer mechanism 1 includes a first transfer unit 11 and a second transfer unit 12, the first transfer unit 11 and the second transfer unit 12 are vertically arranged, and the fan 22 is located on the side away from the sealing mechanism 3 at the vertical connection between the first transfer unit 11 and the second transfer unit 12.

[0037] In this embodiment, the design of the transfer mechanism 1 cleverly utilizes the vertical arrangement of the first transfer unit 11 and the second transfer unit 12 to meet the needs of transporting books in different directions. The first transfer unit 11 is responsible for transporting books in the horizontal direction, while the second transfer unit 12 is responsible for lifting and lowering in the vertical direction, ensuring that the books can smoothly enter the sealing mechanism 3. The fan 22 is arranged on the side away from the sealing mechanism 3 at the vertical connection of the two transfer units. This position selection is conducive to the hot air generated by the fan 22 to be directly blown to the film packaging port of the film packaging component 34, preheating and drying the film, while avoiding direct interference with the sealing mechanism 3.

[0038] When the book is transported to the vertical connection by the first transfer unit 11, the fan 22 starts to work, and the control module controls its operating parameters, including air volume, wind direction and height of the fan 22, to ensure that the hot air is evenly blown on the surface of the book and the film. In this way, before the book enters the sealing mechanism 3, its surface and the film are fully dried and preheated, which helps to improve the bonding effect and packaging quality of the film.

[0039] In addition, the air outlet design of the fan 22 can be adjusted to accommodate books of different sizes, ensuring that the hot air can cover the entire surface of the book. The linkage between the entire transfer mechanism 1 and the fan 22 realizes the automated process from book delivery to packaging, improves packaging efficiency, reduces manual intervention, and also ensures the stability and packaging quality of the book during the packaging process.

[0040] In summary, the design of the transfer mechanism 1 achieves precise transfer of books in different directions and effective preheating and drying of the film before packaging through the vertical arrangement of the first transfer unit 11 and the second transfer unit 12, and the layout of the fan 22 on the side away from the sealing mechanism 3 at the vertical connection between the two units, thereby optimizing the sealing process and improving the packaging efficiency and quality.

[0041] Further, such as Figure 1 As shown, the cleaning frame 21 includes a first frame 211 and a second frame 212, the first frame 211 is covered on the first transfer unit 11, and the second frame 212 is covered on the second transfer unit 12, the fan 22 is located on the first frame 211, and the first frame 211 and the second frame 212 are both provided with a transport gap for maintaining a transport gap with the transfer mechanism 1 for books to pass through.

[0042] In this embodiment, the design of the cleaning frame 21 realizes comprehensive cleaning protection of books in two vertical directions through the coordinated use of the first frame 211 and the second frame 212. The first frame 211 is directly covered on the first transfer unit 11 and is responsible for providing cleaning when the book moves horizontally; the second frame 212 is covered on the second transfer unit 12 and is responsible for cleaning when the book moves vertically. Such a layout ensures that the book can be effectively cleaned and protected in any moving direction.

[0043] The fan 22 is arranged on the first frame 211, and its position is selected so that the air outlet of the fan 22 can be directly aimed at the book. When the book passes through the transportation gap, the airflow generated by the fan 22 can evenly blow the surface of the book, effectively removing dust and impurities on the surface of the book to ensure the cleanliness before packaging. At the same time, the airflow of the fan 22 also helps to preheat the surface of the book, providing suitable temperature conditions for the packaging of the film.

[0044] The transport gap is a channel specially reserved on the first frame 211 and the second frame 212 to ensure that the books will not be obstructed when moving on the transfer mechanism 1, while maintaining a proper distance between the cleaning frame 21 and the books to avoid damage to the books during the cleaning process.

[0045] The linkage working principle is that when the book passes through the transfer mechanism 1, the control module will control the start and adjustment of the fan 22 according to the position and state of the book to adapt to the moving speed and direction of the book. In this way, the book is always under the protection of the cleaning frame 21 during the movement process, and smoothly enters the packaging link through the transportation gap. Overall, the design of the cleaning frame 21 not only improves the cleaning efficiency, but also ensures the surface quality of the book before packaging, providing a good foundation for the subsequent film packaging.

[0046] In summary, the design of the cleaning frame 21, by respectively arranging the first frame 211 and the second frame 212 above the first transfer unit 11 and the second transfer unit 12, and arranging the fan 22 on the first frame 211, while maintaining appropriate transportation gaps on both frames for books to pass through, achieves continuous cleaning and drying during the book transfer process, ensures the cleanliness of the book surface and the film packaging port, thereby improving the packaging quality and avoiding contamination during the packaging process.

[0047] Further, such as Figure 1 As shown, a temperature infrared sensor element 4 is disposed on the second frame 212 , and a probe of the temperature infrared sensor element 4 is disposed corresponding to the upper surface of the transfer mechanism 1 .

[0048] In this embodiment, the temperature infrared sensor element 4 provided on the second frame 212 realizes real-time monitoring of the surface temperature of the book through the layout in which its probe precisely corresponds to the upper surface of the transfer mechanism 1. This layout enables the sensor element to directly sense the temperature change of the book during the transfer process without contacting the surface of the book, thereby avoiding any possible damage to the book.

[0049] The main function of the temperature infrared sensor element 4 is to collect temperature data on the surface of the book and transmit the data to the control module. Based on the received temperature information, the control module evaluates whether it is necessary to start the fan 22 or other heating equipment in the cleaning mechanism 2 to adjust the temperature of the book to an ideal state suitable for packaging. For example, if the surface temperature of the book is too low, it may affect the bonding effect of the hot melt adhesive. At this time, the control module can instruct the fan 22 to blow hot air to increase the surface temperature of the book.

[0050] In addition, the provision of the temperature infrared sensor element 4 also helps to optimize the energy efficiency and speed of the entire packaging process. By precisely controlling the operation of the heating device, overheating or unnecessary energy waste is avoided, while ensuring that the books are packaged in the best condition, thereby improving the packaging quality and efficiency.

[0051] In the linkage working principle, when the book enters the transport gap below the second set of racks 212, the temperature infrared sensor element 4 starts to work and monitors the surface temperature of the book in real time. The control module intelligently adjusts the operating state of the fan 22 or other heating equipment according to the data provided by the sensor element to meet the real-time temperature requirements of the book. In this way, the book can be properly temperature controlled during the entire movement process on the transfer mechanism 1, ensuring the smooth progress of the packaging process.

[0052] In summary, the temperature infrared sensor element 4 arranged on the second frame 212 can accurately monitor the surface temperature of the book in real time through its probe corresponding to the upper surface of the transfer mechanism 1, ensuring the accuracy and timeliness of temperature control, thereby optimizing the temperature management of the entire sealing process and improving the packaging quality and efficiency.

[0053] Further, such as Figure 1 As shown, two opposite sides of the first frame 211 are provided with slide grooves 213 , a slide rod 214 is provided between the two slide grooves 213 , the slide rod 214 slidably cooperates with the slide grooves 213 , and the slide rod 214 is connected to the fan 22 for adjusting the horizontal height of the fan 22 .

[0054] In this embodiment, the sliding groove 213 and the sliding rod 214 mechanism provided on the first frame 211 provide a mechanism for flexibly adjusting the height of the fan 22 to meet the packaging requirements of books of different sizes. The sliding grooves 213 are located on two opposite sides of the first frame 211, and the sliding rod 214 can slide freely between the two sliding grooves 213. The connection between the sliding rod 214 and the fan 22 allows the horizontal height of the fan 22 to be adjusted as needed.

[0055] In terms of technical effect, this design allows the operator to quickly adjust the air outlet height of the fan 22 by sliding the slide bar 214 according to the size of the book and the specific requirements of the packaging process, so as to ensure that the hot air can blow on the surface of the book at the best angle and distance. For example, for thicker books, the height of the fan 22 can be lowered to ensure that the hot air can be closer to the surface of the book; and for thinner books, the height of the fan 22 can be raised to avoid overheating.

[0056] The linkage working principle is that when the book enters the bottom of the cleaning frame 21 through the transfer mechanism 1, the control module will drive the slide bar 214 to move to the appropriate position in the slide slot 213 according to the size information of the book or the operator's instructions. Then, the fan 22 starts working according to the set height to blow dry hot air to the surface of the book. This adjustment mechanism not only improves the adaptability and flexibility of the packaging process, but also helps to improve the packaging quality and efficiency, while reducing energy waste caused by different book sizes. Through this fine adjustment, it is ensured that regardless of the size of the book, a uniform and appropriate temperature treatment can be obtained, providing ideal conditions for subsequent film packaging.

[0057] To summarize, the slide groove 213 and the slide rod 214 mechanism provided on the first frame 211 allows the fan 22 to slide horizontally in the slide groove 213 along the slide rod 214, thereby realizing flexible adjustment of the height of the fan 22, so that the precise position of the fan 22 can be adjusted according to the book size and packaging requirements, thereby optimizing the hot air blowing effect and improving the temperature control accuracy in the packaging process and the adaptability of book packaging.

[0058] Further, such as Figure 3-4 As shown, the fan 22 includes a baffle 23 , and a plurality of baffles 23 are provided, which are rotatably arranged on the air outlet of the fan 22 in sequence.

[0059] In this embodiment, the fan 22 is equipped with a plurality of baffles 23, which are sequentially rotated and arranged on the air outlet of the fan 22, providing a method for dynamically adjusting the direction and distribution of wind force. Each baffle 23 can be rotated to a specific angle independently or in conjunction, thereby changing the injection direction and coverage of the airflow.

[0060] In terms of technical effect, this design enables the fan 22 to accurately control the blowing direction of hot air according to the size and shape of the book and the specific needs during the packaging process. For example, when packaging a larger book, the baffle 23 can be adjusted to expand the wind coverage; while when packaging a smaller book, the wind can be concentrated to improve the heating efficiency.

[0061] The linkage working principle is that the control module automatically or manually adjusts the angle of each baffle 23 according to the size information and packaging requirements of the book. When the book passes under the cleaning rack 21, the fan 22 starts and blows hot air in the set direction. The rotation of the baffle 23 changes the spray direction of the wind force, ensuring that the hot air can be blown evenly on the surface of the book to achieve drying and preheating of the book. This design not only improves the efficiency of hot air utilization, but also ensures that books of different sizes can obtain appropriate temperature treatment, optimizing the packaging quality.

[0062] In addition, the design of the baffle 23 also helps to reduce heat loss and improves energy efficiency by concentrating wind power directly on the books. At the same time, the rotation setting of the baffle 23 also provides users with more adjustment options to adapt to different packaging environments and conditions, thereby enhancing the adaptability and flexibility of the sealing machine.

[0063] In summary, the fan 22 is equipped with multiple baffles 23 that are rotated in sequence, and the wind direction and wind force distribution can be adjusted at the air outlet, so that the hot air can be blown to the books more evenly or specifically, thereby improving the drying and heating efficiency, ensuring the consistency of the packaging quality and optimizing the functionality of the sealing machine.

[0064] Further, such as Figure 2As shown, the film packaging component 34 includes an upper feeding component 341, a lower feeding component 342 and a film supporting frame 343 which are rotatably arranged on the sealing frame 31. The film supporting frame 343 is connected to the first carrying part 33 and is located above the first carrying part 33. The upper feeding component 341 is wrapped around one end of the film, and the other end of the film bypasses the film supporting frame 343 and passes through the gap between the film supporting frame 343 and the first carrying part 33 until it is wrapped around the lower feeding component 342 to form a film packaging port located on the end point of the transportation path of the first carrying part 33. When the book is against the film packaging port, the upper feeding component 341 and the lower feeding component 342 rotate relative to the sealing frame 31 so that the film completely wraps the book as the book moves.

[0065] In this embodiment, the design of the film packaging component 34 realizes automatic feeding of the film and accurate packaging of the book through the carefully arranged upper feeding component 341, lower feeding component 342 and film support frame 343. The upper feeding component 341 wraps around one end of the film, while the other end of the film bypasses the film support frame 343, passes through the gap between it and the first carrier 33, and wraps around the lower feeding component 342. Such a layout forms a film packaging opening. When the book moves to the film packaging opening, the upper feeding component 341 and the lower feeding component 342 will rotate relative to the sealing frame 31, driving the film to unfold as the book moves, so that the film completely wraps the book.

[0066] In terms of technical effect, this design makes the film packaging process highly automated, reduces manual operations, and improves packaging efficiency and consistency. The position of the film support frame 343 ensures the stable supply of the film above the first carrier 33, and the rotational cooperation of the upper feeding component 341 and the lower feeding component 342 ensures that the film can be tightly and evenly wrapped on the surface of the book, so that no matter how the size of the book changes, a good packaging effect can be achieved.

[0067] The linkage working principle is that when the book is transported to the packaging position by the first carrier 33, the control module will send a signal to trigger the rotation of the upper feeding component 341 and the lower feeding component 342, so that the film packaging port moves synchronously with the book. As the book moves forward, the film packaging port is stretched and covered on the surface of the book. At the same time, the tension of the film and the synchronous speed of the carrier ensure the tightness and uniformity of the film wrapping. When the book completely enters the film packaging port area, the film has completed the wrapping of the book, and then it can be heat-set cut to complete the entire packaging process.

[0068] In addition, this design allows the film tension and feeding speed to be adjusted to suit films with different material properties and books of different sizes, ensuring the flexibility and adaptability of the packaging process. Through this automated film packaging component 34, the book packaging process becomes more efficient and stable, and the packaging quality is significantly improved.

[0069] To sum up, the design of the film packaging component 34, through the coordinated rotation of the upper feeding component 341, the lower feeding component 342 and the film support frame 343, realizes the continuous dynamic process of the film from feeding to wrapping the book, ensuring that the film can automatically adjust and tightly wrap as the book moves on the first carrier part 33, thereby efficiently completing the packaging of the book and improving the degree of automation of packaging and the consistency of packaging.

[0070] Further, such as Figure 2 As shown, the trimming component 32 includes two vertical frames 321 connected to the sealing frame 31, and a trimming frame 322 located between the two vertical frames 321. The trimming frame 322 slidably cooperates with the vertical frames 321 and is used for heat-setting cutting of the film that wraps the book and passes through the bottom of the trimming frame 322.

[0071] In this embodiment, the design of the trimming component 32 achieves accurate trimming of the film after the book is packaged through the cooperation of the two vertical frames 321 and the trimming frame 322. The two vertical frames 321 are connected to the sealing frame 31 to provide a stable support structure, and the trimming frame 322 is suspended between the two vertical frames 321 and can slide along the vertical frames 321. This sliding cooperation allows the trimming frame 322 to be adjusted according to the size of the book to adapt to books of different sizes.

[0072] In terms of technical effect, the sliding characteristics of the trimming frame 322 allow it to cut closely along the edge of the book, ensuring the accuracy and neatness of the film cutting. The heat-setting cutting device on the trimming frame 322 can heat and quickly cut the film after it completely wraps the book, so that the edge of the film fits closely with the edge of the book, preventing the film from loosening or wrinkling, and improving the aesthetics and sealing of the package.

[0073] The linkage working principle is that when the book is transported to the bottom of the trimming frame 322 by the first transport part 33, the trimming frame 322 is adjusted to an appropriate position according to the size of the book. Then, the thermosetting cutting device on the trimming frame 322 is activated to heat and cut the film passing through the bottom. Under the command of the control module, the sliding cooperation between the trimming frame 322 and the vertical frame 321 ensures the smooth progress of the cutting process, and ensures that the film is accurately cut regardless of the size of the book.

[0074] In addition, the heat-set cutting function of the trimming frame 322 also helps improve the efficiency of packaging, because it can complete the cutting while the film is wrapped around the book, reducing additional processes and time. The design of the entire trimming component 32 embodies automation and precision, making the packaging process smoother and more efficient, while ensuring the neat appearance and protective performance of the packaged book.

[0075] In summary, the design of the trimming component 32, through the sliding cooperation of the two vertical frames 321 and the trimming frame 322 located therebetween, achieves precise positioning and thermosetting cutting of the film under the trimming frame 322 after wrapping the book, thereby ensuring the neatness and sealing of the film packaging, while improving the automation and efficiency of the trimming process.

[0076] Furthermore, a second carrying component is provided on the other side of the trimming component 32 away from the first carrying component 33, and the second carrying component is electrically connected to the trimming component 32. When the trimming component 32 performs thermosetting cutting, the second carrying component stops moving. When the trimming component 32 completes thermosetting cutting, the second carrying component is started.

[0077] In this embodiment, the electrical connection and coordinated control between the trimming component 32 and the second carrier component realizes accurate automated operation during the book packaging process. When the trimming component 32 completes the thermosetting cutting of the film, the second carrier component will receive a signal and stop moving to ensure that the book remains stable during the cutting process and avoid inaccurate cutting or damage to the book due to movement. When the trimming component 32 completes the thermosetting cutting, the second carrier component will receive a new signal and start, continuing to transport the packaged book to the next process or completing the final packaging work.

[0078] In terms of technical effect, this design ensures high efficiency and high precision in the packaging process. The thermosetting cutting device of the trimming component 32 is responsible for accurately cutting the film, while the synchronous stopping and starting of the second carrier component ensures that the position of the book is fixed during the cutting process, preventing errors that may be caused by movement. In addition, when the trimming component 32 completes its work, the timely starting of the second carrier component also avoids unnecessary stay of the book in the packaging machine, thereby improving the efficiency of the entire packaging process.

[0079] The linkage working principle is that the control module monitors the working status of the trimming component 32 in real time and sends an electrical signal to the second carrier component at an appropriate time. When the trimming component 32 starts the thermosetting cutting, the control module will suspend the movement of the second carrier component; once the trimming component 32 completes the cutting, the control module will immediately start the second carrier component and resume the transportation of the book. This precise control and coordinated action not only improves the packaging quality, but also optimizes the production efficiency, reduces manual intervention, and realizes an automated and efficient packaging process.

[0080] In summary, the electrical connection and coordinated control between the second carrier component and the trimming component 32 achieve precise synchronization during the thermosetting cutting process, ensure the stable positioning of the book during cutting and the accuracy of film cutting, and quickly start the second carrier component after the cutting is completed, thereby improving the efficiency and automation of the entire packaging process.

[0081] like Figure 5 As shown, a control method of a temperature-controlled automatic sealing machine is applied to a temperature-controlled automatic sealing machine, and the control method comprises the following steps: S10, obtaining the surface temperature information of the book, and obtaining the surface temperature information of the film in real time; S20, determining a book surface temperature threshold, a film surface temperature threshold, and a film temperature confidence interval; S30, determining whether the book surface temperature information is less than the book surface temperature threshold, and if so, determining the fan operation parameters, the fan operation parameters including angle parameters, air volume parameters and fan height parameters, the fan operation parameters are used to drive the fan 22 to blow air according to a predetermined rule; S40, if not, determining whether the film surface temperature information falls within the film temperature confidence interval; S50, if it falls within the film temperature confidence interval, determining the fan operating parameters; S60, if the temperature does not fall within the film temperature confidence interval and is less than the film surface temperature threshold, start the temperature control heating component 35 to heat the film; S70: If the temperature does not fall within the film temperature confidence interval and is not less than the film surface temperature threshold, the fan is controlled to stop running.

[0082] In this embodiment, the book surface temperature information refers to the temperature data of the book surface monitored and obtained in real time, which is used to evaluate whether temperature adjustment is needed; the film surface temperature information refers to the real-time monitoring of the temperature of the film to ensure that it is packaged within an appropriate temperature range. The book surface temperature threshold is a preset temperature value used to determine whether the book surface meets the temperature requirements suitable for packaging; the film surface temperature threshold is also a preset value used to determine whether the film needs additional heating to ensure the packaging quality. The film temperature confidence interval is a temperature range, indicating that the film can ensure a good packaging effect within this range. The fan operating parameters include angle, air volume and height of the fan 22, etc. These parameters determine how the fan 22 works to adapt to the temperature regulation requirements of the book and the film.

[0083] Continuing with the previous example, this control method obtains the temperature information of the book and film surfaces in real time, and compares it with the preset threshold and confidence interval, so as to intelligently determine the operating status of the fan 22 and the temperature control heating component 35. If the surface temperature of the book is lower than the threshold, the system will adjust the fan operating parameters, such as changing the air volume and angle, to provide appropriate hot air for heating the surface of the book. If the surface temperature of the film is not within the confidence interval and is lower than the threshold, the system will start the temperature control heating component 35 to heat the film to ensure its flexibility and adhesion properties. If the film temperature is already within the confidence interval or exceeds the threshold, the fan 22 will stop running to avoid overheating. The entire control process is automated, ensuring the accuracy of temperature control during the packaging process and the consistency of the book packaging quality.

[0084] In summary, this paragraph describes a control method for a temperature-controlled automatic sealing machine, which intelligently solves the technical problem of maintaining edge sealing quality at different ambient temperatures by real-time monitoring of the surface temperature of the book and the film, and setting the corresponding temperature threshold and confidence interval. The control method first obtains the surface temperature information of the book and the film, and then determines whether measures need to be taken according to the preset temperature threshold. If the surface temperature of the book is lower than the threshold, the control system will determine the operating parameters of the fan 22, including the angle, air volume and height of the fan 22, to blow dry hot air to the book. If the surface temperature of the film does not reach the confidence interval, the system will start the temperature control heating component 35 to heat the film to ensure that the temperature of the film is appropriate during packaging. If the surface temperature of the film is already within the confidence interval or higher than the threshold, the fan 22 is controlled to stop running to avoid overheating or wasting energy. This control method ensures the bonding effect of the hot melt adhesive during the edge sealing process through precise temperature management and adjustment of operating parameters, improves the packaging quality, and adapts to different environmental conditions.

[0085] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Therefore, any equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
