Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the dispensing process technical field, especially relates to a temperature recovery device and an operation method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] The mobile phone camera module or other electronic products will use different glue in the manufacturing process, and the glue generally needs to be stored at low temperature in the factory. When using, it needs to be taken out after thawing and temperature recovery for a certain period of time. The previous operation is generally to scan the code of the glue before and after thawing by manual operation and upload it to the manufacturing execution management system (MES). The MES uses a timer to count the time, but when the types or quantities of glue are large, the operation is not convenient and the use is relatively chaotic, which can easily cause some glue to be used before reaching the preset time, resulting in product scrap. In addition, the existing temperature recovery device needs to have horizontal movement of the glue barrel relative to the temperature recovery device during taking and placing the glue barrel. During this process, the glue barrel and the temperature recovery device can collide, resulting in glue spilling.

[0003] Therefore, it is urgent to research a temperature recovery device to solve the problems of glue being used before reaching the preset time, resulting in product scrap, and glue spilling during the placing process of the glue barrel. SUMMARY

[0004] The purpose of the present application is to provide a temperature recovery device and an operation method thereof to solve the problems of glue being used before reaching the preset time, resulting in product scrap, and glue spilling during the placing process of the glue barrel.

[0005] To achieve the above purpose, the present application adopts the following technical solutions:

[0006] On the one hand, the present application provides a temperature recovery device, which comprises:

[0007] a workbench;

[0008] a housing provided on the workbench, the top of the housing being provided with an opening;

[0009] a shielding piece provided on the housing, the shielding piece being capable of moving between a closed position for closing the opening and an open position for opening the opening;

[0010] a bearing assembly provided on the workbench for bearing a product to be temperature recovered;

[0011] a timer for recording the temperature recovery time of the product to be temperature recovered on the bearing assembly;

[0012] a controller in communication connection with the timer and the shielding piece;

[0013] A selection assembly is communicatively connected to the controller, and the selection assembly is provided with a taking-out operation part. When the taking-out operation part is triggered, the controller can control the shielding member to be in the open position or the closed position according to the warming time.

[0014] Preferably, the carrying assembly comprises a carrying table, and a plurality of carrying positions are arranged on the carrying table, and each of the carrying positions can carry one of the products to be warmed.

[0015] Preferably, the carrying assembly comprises a carrying drive arranged on the working frame and communicatively connected to the controller, and the carrying table is arranged at an output end of the carrying drive, and any of the carrying positions on the carrying table is moved to the opening, and the warming device comprises a code scanning assembly communicatively connected to the controller, and the code scanning assembly is used to scan the codes of the products to be warmed placed on the carrying assembly at different times and transmit product information to the controller.

[0016] Preferably, the warming device comprises a first sensing member arranged on the working frame and communicatively connected to the controller, and the first sensing member is used to sense the tail of the product to be warmed on the carrying position; and / or

[0017] The warming device comprises a second sensing member arranged on the working frame and communicatively connected to the controller, and the second sensing member is used to sense the end of the product to be warmed on the carrying position, and the second sensing member cannot detect the end of the product to be warmed when the product to be warmed is placed in a correct state.

[0018] In another aspect, the present application provides a method for operating a warming device, and the method comprises the following steps:

[0019] The taking-out operation part is triggered;

[0020] The controller determines whether the warming time of the product to be warmed reaches a preset time. If the warming time reaches the preset time, the controller controls the shielding member to be moved to the open position to take out the product to be warmed. If the warming time does not reach the preset time, the shielding member remains in the closed position.

[0021] Preferably, when there are a plurality of products to be warmed placed in the warming device at different times, the timer separately counts the time for each product to be warmed, and the method for taking out the product to be warmed from the warming device comprises the following steps:

[0022] The taking-out operation part is triggered;

[0023] The controller determines whether the reheating time of each product has reached the preset time, moves the reheated product to the opening position via the support component, and finally controls the blocking component to move to the open position to remove the product; or

[0024] The selection component includes a display screen with several contacts. Each contact corresponds to a carrier position. When a product to be reheated is placed in the carrier position and reheating has been completed, the corresponding contact is displayed in the first color. When the first-color contact is triggered, the controller moves the carrier position corresponding to that contact to the opening through the carrier component. Finally, it controls the blocking component to move to the open position to remove the product to be reheated.

[0025] Preferably, the method further includes placing the product to be reheated in the reheating device. When the reheating device has several bearing positions, the selection component is provided with a placement operation part, including the following steps:

[0026] Trigger placement operation unit;

[0027] The controller moves the vacant carrier position to the open position via the carrier component and controls the shielding component to move to the open position. The product to be reheated is placed in the carrier position, and the shielding component moves to the closed position; or

[0028] When no product to be reheated is placed in the carrier position, the corresponding contact is displayed in the second color. When the second-colored contact is triggered, the controller moves the carrier position corresponding to that contact to the opening through the carrier component. Finally, the controller controls the shield to move to the open position, places the product to be reheated in the carrier position, and moves the shield to the closed position.

[0029] Preferably, when the shielding component moves to the closed position, if the warming time of the product to be warmed on the bearing position has not reached the preset time, the color of the contact point corresponding to the bearing position is the third color;

[0030] In the method of placing the product to be reheated in the reheating device, when the shielding part is moved to the open position, the color of the contact point corresponding to the bearing position located in the open position is the fourth color.

[0031] In the method of removing the product to be warmed from the warming device, when the shielding part is moved to the open position, the color of the contact point corresponding to the bearing position located in the open position is the fifth color.

[0032] Preferably, it further includes a cleaning method, wherein the selection component is provided with a cleaning operation unit, including the following steps:

[0033] Trigger the material clearing operation unit;

[0034] The controller moves the product to be reheated to the opening through the support component and controls the shield to move to the open position;

[0035] After the product to be reheated is removed, the controller moves the next product to be reheated to the opening until all products to be reheated are removed, at which point the blocking part moves to the closed position.

[0036] Preferably, it also includes an unexpected power outage initialization method, where the timer's duration is managed by the MES system, and includes the following steps:

[0037] After power failure and power-on, the controller controls the carrier platform to rotate one revolution. The first sensor detects whether there are products to be reheated at each carrier position. If there are, the barcode is scanned by the barcode scanning component. The controller then retrieves the time information of the product to be reheated being placed in the carrier position from the MES system and recalculates the reheating time based on the current time, thus completing the unexpected power failure initialization operation.

[0038] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:

[0039] This invention provides a reheating device and its operating method. The device, by incorporating a blocking component, can cover the opening at the top of the housing. A timer tracks the reheating time, and a controller adjusts the blocking component's position based on this time. With this setup, during use, the controller compares the reheating time of the product on the supporting component with a preset time. When the preset time is reached, the controller moves the blocking component to the open position; when the preset time is not reached, the controller keeps the blocking component in the closed position. This prevents accidental removal of products before the preset time has elapsed, thus avoiding product spoilage. The component is positioned on one side of the work rack for easy manual operation. Furthermore, the opening is located at the top, requiring operation from above during placement or removal. These two actions prevent the glue in the container from shaking, ensuring glue stability and preventing spillage. Attached Figure Description

[0057] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0058] Example 1

[0059] like Figures 1-4 As shown, this embodiment provides a reheating device, which includes a work frame 1, a housing 2, a shielding member 3, a support assembly 4, a timer, and a controller. The housing 2 is mounted on the work frame 1, and its top has an opening 21. The shielding member 3 is mounted on the housing 2 and can automatically move between a closed position (closing the opening 21) and an open position (opening the opening 21). The support assembly 4 is mounted on the work frame 1 and located inside the housing 2. The support assembly 4 carries the product to be reheated. The timer records the reheating time of the product on the support assembly 4. The controller is communicatively connected to the timer and the shielding member 3 and can control the shielding member 3 to be in an open or closed position according to the reheating time. In this embodiment, the product to be reheated can be glue, and it is contained in a glue bucket 100, which is placed on the support assembly 4. Of course, in other embodiments, the product to be reheated can be other products, and is not limited thereto. For ease of description, glue will be used as the product to be reheated in the following description. In this embodiment, the shielding component 3 includes a telescopic cylinder and a shielding plate. The telescopic cylinder is located in the housing 2, and the shielding plate is located at the output end of the telescopic cylinder. The shielding plate blocks or opens the opening 21.

[0060] The reheating device, by incorporating a shielding component 3, can block the opening 21 at the top of the housing 2. A timer tracks the reheating time, and the controller can adjust the shielding component 3 to be in the open or closed position based on this time. With this setup, during use, the controller compares the reheating time of the glue bucket 100 on the supporting component 4 with a preset time. When the preset time is reached, reheating is complete, and the controller moves the shielding component 3 to the open position. When the preset time is not reached, the controller keeps the shielding component 3 in the closed position. This prevents accidental removal of the glue bucket 100 before the preset time has elapsed, thus avoiding product spoilage. Furthermore, by placing the opening 21 at the top, the process of placing or removing the glue bucket 100 requires operation from above, preventing the glue inside from shaking and ensuring greater stability, thus avoiding spillage.

[0061] In this embodiment, the support assembly 4 includes a support platform 41 and a support drive component 42. The support drive component 42 is mounted on the work frame 1 and is communicatively connected to the controller. The support platform 41 is located at the output end of the support drive component 42, and the support platform 41 has several support positions, each capable of supporting one glue bucket 100. This configuration allows the support assembly 4 to support several glue buckets 100 at a time, improving the heat recovery efficiency of the glue buckets 100.

[0062] To avoid confusion and mis-selection of numerous glue buckets 100, which could lead to inconsistencies in timing and the wrong bucket being retrieved, the usual procedure is to place all prepared glue buckets 100 simultaneously on the support assembly 4 for reheating. However, each glue bucket 100 needs to be prepared individually, and by the time the last bucket 100 is ready, the first bucket 100 has already been waiting for a considerable time, wasting a significant amount of time. Therefore, in this embodiment, the reheating device includes a barcode scanning component 5, which is communicatively connected to the controller. The barcode scanning component 5 scans the codes of glue buckets 100 placed on the support assembly 4 at different times and transmits the information of each bucket 100 to the controller. In this embodiment, each glue bucket 100 has a QR code or barcode. With the help of this component, prepared glue buckets 100 can be placed on the support assembly 4 at any time, and the barcode scanning component 5 can scan them individually for timing, greatly improving work efficiency. Later, when the reheating time reaches the preset time, the glue bucket 100 is rotated to the opening 21, and the blocking part 3 is opened, ready to be retrieved. In another embodiment, after the operator has operated the equipment, the glue container 100, having reached the required warm-up time, is rotated to the opening 21, and the shield 3 is opened. The specific operating method is described below.

[0063] Optionally, the barcode scanning assembly 5 includes a barcode scanning bracket 51, a barcode scanning base 52, and a barcode scanner 53. The barcode scanning bracket 51 is mounted on the work frame 1. One end of the barcode scanning base 52 is adjustable in position and angle on the barcode scanning bracket 51, and the barcode scanner 53 is mounted on the other end of the barcode scanning base 52. This structure allows for position adjustment of the barcode scanner 53, ensuring accurate scanning. The barcode scanning bracket 51 is cylindrical, with one end fixed to the work frame 1. One end of the barcode scanning base 52 has a fixing hole and an opening / closing slot passing through the fixing hole. One sidewall of the opening / closing slot has a light hole, and the other has a screw hole. The other end of the barcode scanning bracket 51 passes through the fixing hole, and a screw passes through the light hole and engages with the screw hole, causing the opening / closing slot to close and clamp the barcode scanning bracket 51. This structure allows the barcode scanner 53 to be raised, lowered, and rotated.

[0064] In this embodiment, the support platform 41 is rotatably mounted on the work frame 1 and is connected to the output end of the support drive component 42. This rotatable structure offers simple movement, good stability, and space-saving design. In other embodiments, the support platform 41 can be slidably mounted on the work frame 1.

[0065] In this embodiment, the bearing position includes a first loading hole 411 or a second loading hole 412. The bearing platform 41 is provided with a plurality of first loading holes 411 and a plurality of second loading holes 412 around its circumference. The plurality of first loading holes 411 and a plurality of second loading holes 412 are arranged alternately. The first loading holes 411 and the second loading holes 412 are respectively used to place different types of glue buckets 100. Of course, in other embodiments, there can be more types of bearing positions. For example, the bearing position can also include three, four or even ten types of loading holes to accommodate different types of glue buckets 100 to hold different types of glue. Through the above configuration, the reheating device can perform reheating operations on different types of glue, thereby improving the applicability.

[0066] In this embodiment, the adhesive includes a first type of adhesive and a second type of adhesive, which are respectively loaded in a first type of container 110 and a second type of container 120. Hereinafter, the first type of container 110 and the second type of container 120 represent different types of products to be reheated. The reheating device includes a selection component 6, which is communicatively connected to a controller. The selection component 6 can select either the first type of container 110 or the second type of container 120. The controller can control the rotation of the carrying component 4, causing the first type of container 110 or the second type of container 120, after a preset reheating time, to move to the opening 21. It can also control the blocking component 3 to move to the open position. It should be noted that the first type of container 110 and the second type of container 120 are placed in the first loading hole 411 and the second loading hole 412, respectively. The selection component 6 can have two different buttons representing the first type of adhesive and the second type of adhesive. Pressing the button representing the first type of adhesive indicates that the first type of adhesive is needed. The carrying platform 41 rotates, causing the first type of container 110 carrying the first type of adhesive to move to the opening 21. The above-described configuration effectively avoids the possibility of selecting the wrong glue bucket 100 from multiple buckets 100, increasing the probability of correct selection. In this embodiment, the selection component 6 can be a touchscreen with two contact points, corresponding to either the first type of bucket 110 or the second type of bucket 120. The first type of bucket 110 is placed in the first loading hole 411, and the second type of bucket 120 is placed in the second loading hole 412. The selection component 6 is located on one side of the work frame 1 for easy manual operation.

[0067] In this embodiment, the support platform 41 is provided with a positioning groove 413, which is located around the first loading hole 411 and the second loading hole 412. That is, both the first loading hole 411 and the second loading hole 412 are provided with positioning grooves 413. When the first type of bucket 110 or the second type of bucket 120 is placed in the first loading hole 411 or the second loading hole 412, the positioning protrusions around the first type of bucket 110 or the second type of bucket 120 can be placed in the positioning groove 413. The positioning groove 413 makes the placement of the glue bucket 100 more precise, and the cooperation between the glue bucket 100 and the support platform 41 is more stable, preventing rotation. The support platform 41 is provided with a clearance groove 414, which is located around the first loading hole 411 and the second loading hole 412. The clearance groove 414 is configured to avoid the fingers of workers. The clearance groove 414 facilitates the removal of the glue bucket 100 by workers, improving the efficiency of glue bucket 100 removal and user experience. Two positioning grooves 413 and two clearance grooves 414 are provided on the periphery of the first loading hole 411 and the second loading hole 412. The two positioning grooves 413 are symmetrical about the center of the first loading hole 411 or the second loading hole 412, and the two clearance grooves 414 are symmetrical about the center of the first loading hole 411 or the second loading hole 412.

[0068] To improve the automation level of the reheating device, in this embodiment, the reheating device includes a first sensing element 71, which is disposed on the work frame 1 and communicates with the controller. The first sensing element 71 is used to sense the tail of the glue bucket 100 in the bearing position. The reheating device also includes a second sensing element 72, which is disposed on the work frame 1 and communicates with the controller. The second sensing element 72 is used to sense the end of the glue bucket 100 in the bearing position. When the first type of bucket 110 or the second type of bucket 120 is correctly placed, and when the positioning protrusion is placed in the positioning groove 413, the second sensing element 72 cannot detect the end of the glue bucket 100. The upper end of the glue bucket 100 is defined as the end, and the lower end of the glue bucket 100 is defined as the tail. With the help of the first sensing element 71, when the glue bucket 100 is placed, the first sensing element 71 sends a detection signal to the controller, and the controller controls the barcode scanning component 5 to scan the barcode. With the help of the second sensing element 72, it can be ensured that the glue bucket 100 is placed in the correct position.

[0069] In this embodiment, the temperature recovery device includes a temperature and humidity sensor 73, which is located on the work frame 1 and communicates with the controller. It is configured to detect the temperature and humidity inside the housing 2.

[0070] Example 2

[0071] like Figure 5 As shown, this embodiment provides an operation method for a reheating device, including a method for removing a glue bucket 100 from the reheating device. This method includes the following steps:

[0072] Click to remove the operating unit. The controller determines whether the reheating time of the glue bucket 100 has reached the preset time. If it has, it controls the shielding part 3 to move to the open position and remove the glue bucket 100; if the reheating time has not reached the preset time, the shielding part 3 remains in the closed position. The above method can prevent the glue that has not fully reheated from being used, thus avoiding product scrap.

[0073] In this embodiment, when there are multiple glue buckets 100 placed in the reheating device at different times, the timer times each glue bucket 100 individually, and the method for removing the glue bucket 100 from the reheating device includes the following steps:

[0074] Clicking the removal operation unit, the controller determines whether the reheating time of each glue bucket 100 has reached the preset time. The bearing assembly 4 moves the reheated glue bucket 100 to the opening 21, and finally controls the blocking member 3 to move to the open position, removing the glue bucket 100. In other embodiments of this example, the method for removing the glue bucket 100 from the reheating device includes the following steps: the selection assembly 6 includes a display screen with several contacts, each corresponding to a bearing position. When a glue bucket 100 is placed in the bearing position and has completed reheating, the corresponding contact is displayed in a first color. Triggering the first-color contact, the controller moves the bearing position corresponding to that contact to the opening 21 via the bearing assembly 4, and finally controls the blocking member 3 to move to the open position, removing the glue bucket 100. This method allows for individual timing of multiple glue buckets 100 placed on the bearing assembly 4 at different times, avoiding waiting time between multiple glue buckets 100 and improving reheating efficiency.

[0075] In this embodiment, the operation method of the reheating device also includes a method for placing the glue bucket 100 in the reheating device. When there are several bearing positions in the reheating device, a placement operation unit is provided on the display screen. The method for placing the glue bucket 100 in the reheating device includes the following steps: clicking the placement operation unit. The controller moves the empty bearing position to the opening 21 position through the bearing component 4, and controls the blocking component 3 to move to the open position, placing the glue bucket 100 in the bearing position, and then the blocking component 3 moves to the closed position. When there is no empty position, an alarm can be triggered by the alarm component to improve the placement efficiency of the glue bucket 100. In other embodiments of this embodiment, the method for placing the glue bucket 100 in the reheating device includes the following steps: when the glue bucket 100 is not placed in the bearing position, the corresponding contact point is displayed in a second color. When the second-colored contact point is triggered, the controller moves the bearing position corresponding to the contact point to the opening 21 through the bearing component 4, and finally controls the blocking component 3 to move to the open position, placing the glue bucket 100 in the bearing position, and then the blocking component 3 moves to the closed position. The above method improves the efficiency of placing the glue bucket 100, and can clearly indicate whether there is still space in the reheating device by observing the color of the contact points, further improving the placement efficiency of the glue bucket 100.

[0076] In this embodiment, the operation method of the reheating device also includes a cleaning method. A cleaning operation section is provided on the touchscreen. This cleaning method includes the following steps: clicking the cleaning operation section. The controller moves the reheated glue bucket 100 to the opening 21 via the carrying component 4, and controls the blocking component 3 to move to the open position. After removing the glue bucket 100, the controller moves the next reheated glue bucket 100 to the opening 21 until all reheated glue buckets 100 are removed, at which point the blocking component 3 moves to the closed position. This setup allows all reheated glue buckets 100 to be removed at once, greatly improving the removal efficiency of the glue buckets 100.

[0077] In this embodiment, the operation method of the reheating device also includes an unexpected power failure initialization method. The timer's time is managed by the manufacturing execution system (MES). This unexpected power failure initialization method includes the following steps: After power failure and power-on, the controller controls the carrier platform 41 to rotate one revolution. The first sensor 71 detects whether there is a glue bucket 100 at each carrier position. If so, the barcode is scanned by the barcode scanning component 5, and the time information of the glue bucket 100 being placed in the carrier position is retrieved from the MES system. The reheating time is then recalculated based on the current time, completing the unexpected power failure initialization operation. This method ensures that even if there is a power failure, the reheating time will not be recalculated, avoiding wasted time.

[0078] Preferably, when the shielding member 3 moves to the closed position, if the reheating time of the glue bucket 100 on the bearing position has not reached the preset time, the color of the contact point corresponding to the bearing position is the third color. In the method of placing the glue bucket 100 in the reheating device, when the shielding member 3 moves to the open position, the color of the contact point corresponding to the bearing position located at the opening 21 is the fourth color. In the method of removing the glue bucket 100 from the reheating device, when the shielding member 3 moves to the open position, the color of the contact point corresponding to the bearing position located at the opening 21 is the fifth color. It should be noted that the first color, second color, third color, fourth color, and fifth color are red, gray, blue, yellow, and green, respectively. All of the above operating methods can provide the operator with a better operating experience.

[0079] Of course, in other embodiments, there can be two or more types of adhesive. For ease of description and understanding, the following description uses two types of adhesive as an example. The bearing position includes a plurality of first loading holes 411 and a plurality of second loading holes 412 provided on the bearing platform 41, which are mainly divided into six scenarios, as described in detail below:

[0080] In the first scenario, when placing the glue bucket 100, for example, the user first clicks the contact point for placing glue on the display screen. Depending on the model of the glue bucket 100, the user then clicks the corresponding first-type bucket 110 or second-type bucket 120 contact point on the touchscreen (referred to as the first contact point and the second contact point). The system automatically locates the corresponding empty first loading hole 411 or second loading hole 412 for the first-type bucket 110 or second-type bucket 120, and moves the first loading hole 411 or second loading hole 412 to the opening 21. The blocking member 3 opens, and the operator places the first-type bucket 110 or second-type bucket 120 inside. Then, the first sensor 71 and the second sensor 72 detect that the glue bucket 100 is in place, the barcode scanner 53 scans the barcode, and the data is uploaded to the controller and further uploaded to the MES. A timer then starts timing.

[0081] The touchscreen has several first-type and second-type contacts corresponding to several first-type loading holes 411 and several second-type loading holes 412, arranged in a ring. When a first-type loading hole 411 or a second-type loading hole 412 is empty, the corresponding first-type and second-type contacts on the touchscreen are gray. When an empty first-type loading hole 411 or a second-type loading hole 412 is moved to the opening 21 and the blocking member 3 is open, the corresponding contact on the touchscreen is yellow. When a first-type bucket 110 or a second-type bucket 120 has been placed in a first-type loading hole 411 or a second-type loading hole 412 and the barcode scanning is completed, the corresponding contact on the touchscreen is blue, indicating that it is warming up and the preset time has not yet been reached.

[0082] In the second scenario, when placing the glue bucket 100, for example, the gray first or second contact point on the touch screen is clicked according to the first type of bucket 110 or the second type of bucket 120, and the subsequent process is the same as in the first scenario.

[0083] In the third scenario, when acquiring the glue bucket 100, for example, first click the "Acquire Glue" button. Then, based on the model of the glue bucket 100, click the corresponding first or second contact point on the touchscreen for either the first type of bucket 110 or the second type of bucket 120. The system automatically locates the first type of bucket 110 or the second type of bucket 120 that has completed its reheating process and moves it to the opening 21. The blocking member 3 opens, and the operator removes the first type of bucket 110 or the second type of bucket 120. Then, the first sensor 71 and the second sensor 72 detect the removal of the glue bucket 100. Finally, the blocking member 3 closes. The corresponding first or second contact point on the touchscreen is then grayed out. Specifically, when reheating is complete, the corresponding first or second contact point on the touchscreen is red; when the blocking member 3 is open, during the removal process, the corresponding first or second contact point on the touchscreen is green.

[0084] In the fourth scenario, when acquiring the glue bucket 100, for example, one can directly click on the corresponding first or second type of contact point in red on the screen, and the subsequent process is the same as in the third scenario.

[0085] In the fifth scenario, the material clearing process, for example, when the emptying contact of all the reheated glue is clicked on the touch screen, the support platform 41 rotates. When the first type of bucket 110 or the second type of bucket 120 that has completed reheating moves to the opening 21, the shielding member 3 opens, and the corresponding first type of contact or second type of contact on the touch screen is adjusted to green, so that the first type of bucket 110 or the second type of bucket 120 can be taken out. After the first sensing element 71 and the second sensing element 72 detect that the glue bucket 100 has been taken out, the first type of contact or the second type of contact is adjusted to gray, and the next first type of bucket 110 or the second type of bucket 120 that has completed reheating is moved to the opening 21, until all the first type of bucket 110 and the second type of bucket 120 that have completed reheating are taken out.

[0086] In the sixth scenario, an unexpected power outage occurs. For example, after power failure and power-on, the support platform 41 rotates one revolution and detects the status of the glue bucket 100 through the first sensor 71. If a first type of bucket 110 or a second type of bucket 120 is detected at a first loading hole 411 or a second loading hole 412, the barcode scanner 53 scans the barcode and uploads it to the controller. The resting time information is retrieved from the MES and fed back to the display screen, completing the restart process after the unexpected power failure.
