Furthermore, the high maintenance costs of conveyor belts also increase the overall maintenance costs of the curing equipment. On the other hand, the presence of the conveyor belt reduces the actual volume available for curing the parts, making the curing machine unsuitable for curing larger parts. Summary of the Invention

[0050] To better understand the above technical solutions, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be understood that the embodiments of this application and the specific features in the embodiments are detailed descriptions of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application, rather than limitations on the technical solutions of this application. In the absence of conflict, the embodiments of this application and the technical features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0051] According to a first aspect of the present invention, a curing apparatus is provided. Figures 1 to 3 A schematic structural diagram of a curing device according to one embodiment of this application. Figure 4 This is a schematic connection diagram of the first sensing component 410 and the first control component 420 according to an embodiment of this application. Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the curing equipment described above may include:

[0052] The housing assembly 100 has a curing cavity 1201 formed thereon;

[0053] Curing component 200 is disposed within curing chamber 1201;

[0054] The placement assembly 300 has a first working state located inside the curing chamber 1201 and a second working state located outside the curing chamber 1201. The placement assembly 300 includes a support part 310 and a moving part 320. The support part 310 is used to place the part to be cured, and the moving part 320 is connected to the support part 310.

[0055] When the placement component 300 is in the first working state, the moving part 320 is used to drive the bearing part 310 to move closer to or away from the curing component 200.

[0056] The curing device provided in this application includes a housing assembly 100, a curing assembly 200, and a placement assembly 300. The housing assembly 100 forms a curing cavity 1201. In practical applications, the curing device can use the curing cavity 1201 to provide space for the installation of the curing assembly 200 and to provide space for the placement assembly 300 during the curing process.

[0057] The aforementioned placement component 300 can have a first working state and a second working state. In the first working state, the placement component 300 is located inside the curing chamber 1201; in the second working state, the placement component 300 is located outside the curing chamber 1201. In practical applications, the placement component 300 can be used as a curing platform in the first working state; and as a manual operation platform in the second working state. During the process of the placement component 300 moving from outside the curing chamber 1201 to inside the curing chamber 1201, its working state changes from the second working state to the first working state. In the first working state, the placement component 300 is used to place the workpiece to be cured during the curing process, and then the curing component 200 can be activated to change the physical environment within the curing chamber 1201, thereby achieving the curing of the workpiece. In the second working state, the placement component 300 is used by the operator for pre-treatment of the workpiece, such as placing the workpiece to be cured during pre-treatment.

[0058] The aforementioned placement assembly 300 may be provided with a support portion 310. When the placement assembly 300 is in its first working state, the support portion 310 provides placement space for the workpiece to be cured during the curing process. When the placement assembly 300 is in its second working state, the support portion 310 provides operating space for the operator during the pretreatment process. Simultaneously, the support portion 310 increases the contact area between the placement assembly and the workpiece to be cured, thereby ensuring the stability of the workpiece during pretreatment or curing and reducing the probability of damage to the workpiece.

[0059] The aforementioned placement assembly 300 may also be provided with a moving part 320. Through the connection between the moving part 320 and the bearing part 310, the moving part 320 can drive the bearing part 310 to move, thereby driving the workpiece to be cured to move. When the placement assembly 300 is in its first working state, by controlling the movement of the moving part 320, the bearing part 310 can be moved closer to or further away from the curing assembly 200, allowing the workpiece to be cured to move closer to or further away from the curing assembly 200. Ultimately, this allows the curing function radiation range of the curing assembly 200 to be adapted to the size of the workpiece to be cured, thereby improving the curing effect of the curing assembly 200 on the workpiece and increasing the curing efficiency. Simultaneously, as the moving part 320 drives the bearing part 310 closer to or further away from the curing assembly 200, the available space within the curing chamber 1201 can be adjusted to provide accommodating space for workpieces of different sizes, thus enabling curing processing of workpieces of different sizes.

[0060] Therefore, the aforementioned placement component 300, by providing a bearing part 310 and a moving part 320, can realize the bearing and conveying functions of the conveyor belt device configured in existing curing equipment for the workpiece to be cured. Compared with the conveyor belt, the placement component 300 is less prone to wear, improving the reliability, stability, and durability of the curing equipment. At the same time, the structure of the placement component 300 is simpler than that of the conveyor belt, which is beneficial for later maintenance. Furthermore, the maintenance cost of the placement component 300 is lower than that of the conveyor belt device, thereby reducing the maintenance cost of the curing equipment. In addition, the placement component 300 is smaller in size than the conveyor belt, occupying less volume space in the curing equipment, thus increasing the space of the curing chamber 1201 actually used for curing processing, in order to accommodate the curing of large-sized workpieces.

[0061] For example, the aforementioned housing assembly 100 and storage assembly 300 can be made of stainless steel to improve the durability, wear resistance, and pressure resistance of the curing equipment. The housing assembly 100 may have an exhaust port on its exterior to expel waste gas from the curing chamber 1201. The housing assembly 100 may also be provided with a wiring port for connecting cables, thereby enabling control of the curing equipment. A control panel interface may be provided on the housing of the housing assembly 100, and the control panel interface may be ergonomically positioned for operator convenience. A number of feet may be installed at the bottom of the housing assembly 100 to adjust its balance. These feet are rollable to allow movement of the housing assembly 100.

[0062] The aforementioned storage component 300 may be equipped with handles in both directions, enabling bidirectional pushing of the storage component 300 and facilitating its insertion into the housing component 100 from different directions. It is understood that the height of the storage component 300 can be adjusted according to the dimensions of the housing component 100, the curing chamber 1201, and the curing component 200. The storage component 300 may also be equipped with an electromagnetic or optical automatic navigation device for automated transport of the workpiece to be cured.

[0063] The specific usage process of the aforementioned placement component 300 is as follows: The operator can place the part to be cured on the support part 310 of the placement component 300, and then use the support part 310 as an operating platform to perform pretreatment such as dispensing on the part to be cured. Then, the operator pushes the placement component 300 into the curing chamber 1201 of the curing equipment, and then controls the curing equipment to start on the control panel. At this time, the support part 310 is used as a UV curing platform. After the part to be cured is cured, the operator, while wearing protective glasses, opens the box component 100 and pushes the part to be cured out of the curing chamber 1201 through the handle of the placement component 300, thereby completing the curing operation of the part to be cured. Understandably, when an electromagnetic or optical automatic navigation device is installed on the storage component 300, after the pretreatment such as dispensing is completed on the part to be cured, the storage component 300 can automatically enter the curing chamber 1201 to achieve curing of the part to be cured. After the curing operation is completed, the storage component 300 can automatically send the part to be cured to the quality inspector, so that the quality inspector can check the curing effect of the part to be cured.

[0064] In one feasible implementation, the curing component 200 includes:

[0065] When the placement assembly 300 is in the first working state, the ultraviolet irradiation unit is used to emit ultraviolet light to the carrier 310;

[0066] The connecting part has one end slidably connected to the housing assembly 100 and the other end connected to the ultraviolet irradiation part;

[0067] The direction in which the connecting part slides relative to the housing is different from the direction of movement of the moving part 320.

[0068] It is understandable that the curing component 200 may be provided with an ultraviolet irradiation part and a connecting part. When the placement component 300 is in the first working state, the ultraviolet irradiation part can emit ultraviolet light of a certain wavelength to the carrier part 310, thereby changing the ambient light of the part to be cured, and thus achieving curing of the part to be cured.

[0069] The connecting part can be used to connect the housing assembly 100 and the ultraviolet irradiation unit. The connecting part is slidably connected to the housing assembly 100, allowing the connecting part to slide relative to the housing assembly 100. The connection between the connecting part and the ultraviolet irradiation unit provides a fixing function for the ultraviolet irradiation unit. Simultaneously, because the connecting part is slidably connected to the housing assembly 100, it can drive the ultraviolet irradiation unit to slide relative to the housing assembly 100. This expands the irradiation range of the ultraviolet irradiation unit on the workpiece to be cured, given the inherent irradiation range of the ultraviolet irradiation unit, thereby achieving overall irradiation of the workpiece and improving the curing efficiency and curing effect. The direction of sliding of the connecting part relative to the housing is different from the direction of movement of the moving part 320. This allows for adjustment of the irradiation angle of the ultraviolet irradiation part in the direction of movement of the non-moving part 320 of the workpiece to be cured. Consequently, the workpiece to be cured can move in a two-dimensional direction relative to the curing assembly 200. This enables the workpiece to achieve both linear and planar movement relative to the curing assembly 200, resulting in a more uniform curing effect and faster curing efficiency.

[0070] For example, the aforementioned ultraviolet irradiation unit can be an ultraviolet curing lamp, which can be a surface light source to achieve the irradiation and curing effect on large-sized parts to be cured. It is understood that in actual use, due to the limited lifespan of the ultraviolet curing lamp, and to promote the stable operation of the curing equipment, the ultraviolet curing lamp bulb needs to be replaced in a timely manner.

[0071] The aforementioned UV curing lamp can also be equipped with a UV curing lamp cover, which can be provided with a reflector to concentrate UV light, thereby enhancing the curing effect of the part to be cured.

[0072] For example, the aforementioned connecting part can be a hanger, and the aforementioned housing assembly 100 can be equipped with a guide rail for embedding the hanger into the guide rail, thereby enabling the hanger to slide relative to the housing assembly 100. The hanger can also be provided with a mounting groove, in which the aforementioned UV curing lamp can be installed to fix the UV curing lamp. At the same time, due to the sliding action of the hanger relative to the housing assembly 100, the UV curing lamp can be moved relative to the housing assembly 100. It is understood that the maximum travel of the hanger can be set according to the size of the placement assembly 300 to further expand the irradiation range of the curing assembly 200, thereby making it suitable for curing large-sized parts to be cured.

[0073] The aforementioned hanger can also be equipped with multiple mounting slots for installing multiple UV curing lamps. Furthermore, the positions of the mounting slots can be determined according to actual curing requirements, allowing for a rational arrangement of the UV curing lamps to meet the curing needs of the parts to be cured.

[0074] When multiple UV curing lamps are installed on a hanger, these lamps can be connected in parallel to reduce the interference of abnormal UV curing lamps on the entire circuit, thereby improving the stability of the UV curing lamp circuit. The UV curing lamp wires can be connected to the power control wires. Specifically, each UV curing lamp can be equipped with its own control power supply for individual control. A preset number or position of UV curing lamps can be activated based on the size of the workpiece and the required degree of curing, improving personalized curing of different workpieces and allowing different parts of irregularly shaped workpieces to be irradiated simultaneously, thus improving the uniformity of the overall curing efficiency.

[0075] In one possible implementation, the moving part 320 includes:

[0076] The telescopic member 321 has a support end and a connecting end. The support end is used to be installed on the housing assembly 100, and the connecting end is connected to the load-bearing part 310.

[0077] The aforementioned moving part 320 may be equipped with a telescopic member 321. The supporting end of the telescopic member 321 is disposed in the housing assembly 100, and the connecting end of the telescopic member 321 is connected to the bearing part 310, thereby enabling support for the bearing part 310 and adjustment of its height. Multiple telescopic members 321 may be evenly distributed around the periphery of the bearing part 310 to provide stable support. When the placement assembly 300 is in its first working state, the bearing part 310 is used as a curing platform. The telescopic action of the telescopic member 321 allows for continuous adjustment of the height of the bearing part 310, thereby causing the bearing part 310 to continuously move closer to or further away from the curing assembly 200. This enables continuous adjustment of the distance between the workpiece to be cured and the curing assembly 200, ultimately achieving precise control over the curing effect of the workpiece. When the storage assembly 300 is in the second working state, the bearing part 310 is used as an operating platform. The telescopic function of the telescopic member 321 can adapt to the operator's height requirements for the operating platform, thereby facilitating the operator to pre-treat the parts to be cured, and also facilitating the loading and unloading of large-sized parts to be cured.

[0078] In one possible implementation, the moving part 320 further includes:

[0079] The sliding wheel 322 is connected to the support end of the telescopic component 321.

[0080] The aforementioned moving part 320 may also include a sliding wheel 322, which is connected to the support end of the telescopic member 321. Due to the sliding action of the sliding wheel 322, the entire placement assembly 300 can be slid, thereby moving the workpiece to be cured located on the bearing part 310, which is beneficial for handling large-sized workpieces to be cured.

[0081] For example, the sliding wheel 322 may also be provided with a locking part to prevent the placement component 300 from sliding when the bearing part 310 is used as a curing platform or operating platform, thereby preventing it from hindering the curing process or pretreatment process.

[0082] For example, the aforementioned sliding wheel 322 can be a swivel wheel, thereby enabling the placement assembly 300 to rotate in a 180-degree direction. Specifically, the swivel wheel can be locked when the operator performs pre-treatment such as dispensing adhesive on the part to be cured; and after the operator completes the pre-treatment, the swivel wheel can be unlocked, and then the placement assembly 300 can be pushed into the curing chamber 1201.

[0083] In one possible implementation, the housing assembly 100 may include:

[0084] The box body 120 has a box opening and a curing cavity 1201, with the box opening connected to the curing cavity 1201;

[0085] The door section 130 is movably disposed on the box section 120 for opening or covering the box opening.

[0086] The aforementioned housing assembly 100 may include a housing portion 120 and a door portion 130. The housing portion 120 may have a housing opening and a curing cavity 1201, and the two are connected to each other, so as to facilitate the storage assembly 300 to enter or leave the curing cavity 1201.

[0087] The aforementioned door portion 130 can be detachably connected to the box portion 120 for opening or covering the box. By providing the door portion 130, when the storage assembly 300 is in its first working state, a sealing effect can be achieved on the curing chamber 1201, thereby preventing the operator from coming into contact with physical factors inside the curing chamber 1201 that are harmful to the human body, and reducing the operator's operational risks.

[0088] For example, when the curing component 200 is an ultraviolet irradiation lamp, a sealing dustproof strip can be installed at the gap of the housing component 100 to prevent ultraviolet light leakage into the curing chamber 1201, which helps to further improve the safety of the curing equipment during use.

[0089] In one feasible implementation, the curing device may further include a first sensing component 410 and a first control component 420.

[0090] The first sensing component 410 is disposed on the door body 130 and is used to detect the opening and closing status of the door body component;

[0091] The first control component 420 is used to control the curing component 200 to stop operating when the door component is in the open state.

[0092] The aforementioned curing equipment may further include a first sensing component 410 and a first control component 420. In actual use, the curing component 200 promotes curing of the workpiece by altering the physical environment within the curing chamber 1201. However, this alteration generates substances harmful to the human body. If the curing component 200 is activated while the curing chamber 1201 is not closed, it could cause harm to the human body. Therefore, by providing the first sensing component 410 to the door portion 130, it is beneficial to detect the opening and closing status of the door component in real time, i.e., the sealing degree of the curing chamber 1201. When the door component is open, i.e., the curing chamber 1201 is not closed, and there is a risk of leakage of harmful substances within the curing chamber 1201, the first control component 420 can control the curing component 200 to stop operating, preventing leakage of harmful substances and further improving the safety of the curing equipment. When the first sensing component 410 detects that the door component is in a closed state, if the curing component 200 is in an operating state, the first sensing component 410 will not make any additional intervention on the operating state of the curing component 200; when the first sensing component 410 detects that the door component is in a closed state, if the curing component 200 is in a stopped state, the first control component 420 can be used to control the curing component 200 to open, which is conducive to further promoting the automated start and stop of the above-mentioned curing equipment.

[0093] The aforementioned door section 130 may also be equipped with a limiter to further limit the opening and closing degree of the door assembly. When the curing component 200 is a UV curing lamp, and the first sensing component 410 detects that the door assembly is in a closed state, the first control component 420 can control the power supply of the UV curing lamp to be in a powered state, thereby controlling the UV curing lamp to turn on; when the first sensing component 410 detects that the door assembly is in an open state, the first control component 420 can control the power supply of the UV curing lamp to be in a powered-off state, in order to further automate the opening and closing state of the UV curing lamp.

[0094] In one feasible implementation, the curing apparatus may further include:

[0095] A limiting member is provided on the housing part 120. The limiting member is used to limit the position of the housing assembly 300 relative to the housing assembly 100 when the housing assembly 300 is in the first working state.

[0096] In actual use, the limiting member provided on the housing 120 can limit the position of the housing 300 relative to the housing 100 when the housing 300 is in the first working state, further limiting the position of the housing 300 in the curing cavity 1201 during the curing process, and further preventing the housing 300 from sliding relative to the housing 100.

[0097] For example, the aforementioned limiting member can be reasonably set in the housing 120 according to the arrangement of the curing component 200 in the curing cavity 1201 and the size of the placement component 300, so as to further limit the position of the placement component 300 relative to the curing component 200, thereby further improving the curing effect and curing efficiency.

[0098] The aforementioned curing device may further include: a second sensing component disposed on the limiting member, the second sensing component being used to detect the limiting state of the limiting member; and a second control component being used to control the door assembly to open when the limiting member is in a first limiting state, and to control the door assembly to close when the limiting member is in a second limiting state. The first limiting state is the state where the limiting member has not yet structurally interfered with the structure of the placement assembly 300, i.e., the limiting member fails to limit the placement assembly 300. The second limiting state is the state where the limiting member structurally interferes with the structure of the placement assembly 300, i.e., the limiting member successfully limits the placement assembly 300. The second sensing component may be disposed on the limiting member for real-time detection of the limiting state of the limiting member on the placement assembly 300. If the second sensing component detects no structural interference between the limiting member and the placement component 300, i.e., the limiting member fails to limit the placement component 300, the second control component can control the door component to open, and the first control component 420 controls the curing component 200 to stop operating or remain closed. Conversely, if the second sensing component detects structural interference between the limiting member and the placement component 300, i.e., the limiting member successfully limits the placement component 300, the second control component can control the door component to close, and the first control component 420 controls the curing component 200 to start operating or remain open.

[0099] For example, the door portion 130 may be equipped with a warning light and a limiter. If the second sensing component detects that the limiter fails to limit the storage component 300, the second control component can control the opening degree of the door portion 130 via the door portion 130 limiter, and control the warning light to flash and emit a sharp alarm sound to remind the operator that the storage component 300 has failed to limit and needs to be re-limited. Once the operator has readjusted the position of the storage component 300 and the limiter successfully limits the storage component 300, the second control component can control the door component to close, and then the first control component 420 controls the curing component 200 to operate.

[0100] Secondly, the present invention provides a curing equipment control method applicable to the curing equipment described above. Figure 5 A schematic flowchart of a curing equipment control method according to an embodiment of this application is provided, as follows: Figure 5 As shown, the method may include the following steps:

[0101] Step S510: Obtain the working status of the storage component 300.

[0102] For example, the above working states include a first working state and a second working state, wherein in the first working state, the placement component 300 is inside the curing cavity 1201; and in the second working state, the placement component 300 is outside the curing cavity 1201.

[0103] For example, the working state of the storage component 300 can be determined based on the shape difference of the storage component 300. For instance, the working state of the storage component 300 can be determined based on the height difference between the first working state and the second working state.

[0104] For example, the working state of the storage component 300 can also be determined based on the mass difference of the housing assembly 100. For instance, a gravity sensor can be installed on the housing assembly 100 to check whether the housing assembly 100 is located within the curing chamber 1201 in real time. It is understood that when the mass of the housing assembly 100 is large, the storage component 300 is in a first working state; when the mass of the housing assembly 100 is small, the storage component 300 is in a second working state.

[0105] Step S520: When the placement component 300 is in the first working state, control the curing component 200 to turn on.

[0106] When the placement component 300 is in the first working state, that is, when the placement component 300 is in the curing chamber 1201, the curing component 200 can be controlled to open so as to process the workpiece to be cured.

[0107] In step S530, while the placement component 300 is in the second working state, the curing component 200 is controlled to shut down.

[0108] When the placement component 300 is in the second working state, that is, when the placement component 300 is outside the curing chamber 1201, the curing component 200 can be controlled to close so as to stop the continuous operation of the curing component 200.

[0109] The above method, by controlling the start and stop of the curing component 200 according to the working status of the placement component 300, helps to save energy. At the same time, it helps to further protect the curing component 200, extend the service life of the curing component 200, and thus extend the service life of the curing equipment, thereby further reducing the maintenance and use costs of the curing equipment.

[0110] In one feasible implementation, step S530, controlling the curing component 200 to open when the placement component 300 is in the first working state, may include the following steps:

[0111] Obtain the curing rate of the part to be cured.

[0112] It should be noted that the process of obtaining the curing rate of the parts to be cured can be done manually or by a testing device, and no specific limitation is made here.

[0113] For example, the curing rate of the aforementioned component to be cured can be determined based on the solidification state of the chemical substance encapsulating the component. The curing substance can be a curing adhesive.

[0114] Based on the curing rate, the motion unit 320 is controlled to move the carrier unit 310 closer to or away from the curing component 200.

[0115] The curing efficiency of the curing component 200 on the part to be cured is negatively correlated with the distance between the part to be cured and the curing component 200. That is, the closer the part to be cured is to the curing component 200, the faster the part to be cured is cured, and the higher the curing efficiency of the curing component 200 on the part to be cured; the farther the part to be cured is from the curing component 200, the slower the part to be cured is cured, and the lower the curing efficiency of the curing component 200 on the part to be cured.

[0116] For example, when the curing rate of the component to be cured is low, that is, when the solidification state of the chemical substance encapsulating the component to be cured is low, the moving part 320 can be controlled to move closer to the curing assembly 200 to shorten the distance between the component to be cured and the curing assembly 200, thereby further promoting the curing of the component to be cured by the curing assembly 200 and improving the curing efficiency of the component to be cured. When the curing rate of the component to be cured is high, that is, when the solidification state of the chemical substance encapsulating the component to be cured is high, the moving part 320 can be controlled to move away from the curing assembly 200 to increase the distance between the component to be cured and the curing assembly 200, preventing the solidified layer of the component to be cured from being ablated by the curing assembly 200 due to being too close to the curing assembly 200, thereby protecting the surface of the component to be cured.

[0117] For example, when the current solidification state of the aforementioned chemical substance is 0% to 30% of its fully solidified state, the moving part 320 can be controlled to move closer to the curing component 200 to further accelerate the curing process of the part to be cured; while when the current solidification state of the aforementioned chemical substance is 75% to 90% of its fully solidified state, the moving part 320 can be controlled to move away from the curing component 200 to avoid the surface of the part to be cured being burned by the curing component 200.

[0118] and / or

[0119] Adjust the operating parameters of the curing component 200 based on the curing rate.

[0120] For example, the operating parameters of the curing component 200 may include: remaining runtime, operating cycle, moving speed, operating power, etc.

[0121] Specifically, based on the curing rate, adjusting the remaining runtime of the curing component 200 can be achieved by determining the current curing progress of the component based on the solidification state of the chemical substance encapsulating it at the current moment, and then determining the remaining runtime of the curing component 200 based on the current curing progress and the time the component has been curing. For example, if the solidification state of the chemical substance encapsulating the component is 30% of the fully solidified state at the current moment, then the current curing progress of the component is 30% of the completed curing process. If the component has been curing for 15 minutes at the current moment, then the average curing efficiency of the component can be determined to be 2% / min. Since the component is 70% complete in curing, the remaining runtime of the curing component 200 can be determined to be 35 minutes.

[0122] By controlling the operating cycle of the curing component 200 based on the curing rate, the solidification state of the chemical substances in various parts of the part to be cured can be obtained in real time, thereby determining the curing rate of each part. It is understandable that parts closer to the curing component 200 have a higher curing rate than parts farther away. Therefore, the curing component 200 can be controlled to perform more cyclical movements on parts farther away than on parts closer, thus improving the uniformity of the overall curing rate of the part. For example, during the curing process, the operator typically aligns the geometric center of the part with the center of the curing component 200 to improve the uniformity of the curing effect. Based on this, when all parts of the component to be cured have the same curing time, the curing rate of the edge parts is less than that of the center parts. Therefore, based on the difference in their curing rates, the curing component 200 can be controlled to perform multiple cyclic reciprocating movements at the edge parts of the component, and a single reciprocating movement at the center parts, thereby improving the uniformity of the curing efficiency. It is understood that the ratio of the number of cyclic reciprocating movements performed by the curing component 200 at each part of the component is negatively correlated with the ratio of the curing rates of each part. For example, if part a has a curing rate of 50% and part b has a curing rate of 25%, then the operating cycle of the curing component 200 at part a can be controlled to be T, and the operating cycle at part b can be controlled to be 2T. Here, 1T can represent the process of the curing component 200 moving relative to part x from left to right, and then from right to left.

[0123] Based on the curing rate, adjusting the moving speed of the curing component 200 allows for real-time acquisition of the solidification state of the chemical substances at various locations on the part to be cured, thereby determining the curing rate of each location. The moving speed of the curing component 200 at each location is then controlled based on the curing rate. It can be understood that the moving speed of the curing component 200 is negatively correlated with its residence time; that is, for a specific location on the part to be cured, the faster the moving speed of the curing component 200, the shorter the curing time for that location. It can also be understood that the shape of the part to be cured is not always regular; for irregular parts, the curing rate will not be the same at different locations. Understandably, for areas of the component with a high curing rate, controlling the curing component 200 to move quickly shortens the subsequent curing time for that area; conversely, for areas with a low curing rate, controlling the curing component 200 to move slowly extends the subsequent curing time for that area. This helps shorten the overall processing time of the component, improves the uniformity of the curing effect, and avoids situations where some areas of the component are burned due to excessive curing time, or where some areas are not fully cured, thereby improving the surface quality of the component. Understandably, the ratio of the moving speed of the curing component 200 at each location can be directly proportional to the ratio of the curing rates of those locations in the component. Specifically, if location A of the component has a current curing rate of 50%, while location B has a current curing rate of 25%, the moving speed of the curing component 200 at location A can be controlled to be 2 cm / s, and at location B, 1 cm / s.

[0124] Based on the curing rate, adjusting the operating power of the curing component 200 allows for real-time acquisition of the solidification state of the chemical substances at various locations on the part to be cured, thereby determining the curing rate of each location. It is understood that the operating power of the curing component 200 is positively correlated with the curing efficiency. Conversely, the operating power of the curing component 200 at different locations on the part to be cured can be negatively correlated with the curing rate at those locations; that is, the higher the curing rate at a given location, the lower the operating power of the curing component 200 at that location. This improves the uniformity of the curing effect and further enables differentiated processing for different locations on the part. For example, if location C on the part to be cured has a current curing rate of 60%, while location D has a current curing rate of 30%, then the operating power of the curing component 200 for location C can be controlled at 30W, and the operating power for location D at 60W.

[0125] Therefore, the above method, by controlling the moving part 320 to move the part to be cured closer to or away from the curing assembly 200 according to the curing rate of the part to be cured, avoids the part to be cured being burned and improves the surface curing effect of the part to be cured. By adjusting the operating parameters of the curing assembly 200 according to the curing rate of the part to be cured, the uniformity of the curing effect of various parts of the part to be cured can be improved, and differentiated curing operations can be performed on different parts, thereby improving the overall curing efficiency and curing effect of the part to be cured.

[0126] In one feasible implementation, when the curing component 200 includes a connecting portion, the above method further includes the following steps:

[0127] Based on the curing rate, the sliding parameters of the joint are controlled.

[0128] For example, the above sliding parameters may include: sliding period, sliding speed, etc.

[0129] By controlling the sliding cycle of the connecting part based on the curing rate, the solidification state of the chemical substances in each part of the component to be cured can be obtained in real time, and the curing rate of each part of the component to be cured can be determined separately. It can be understood that the curing rate of parts closer to the curing component 200 is greater than that of parts farther from the curing component 200. Therefore, the sliding cycle of the connecting part for parts farther from the curing component 200 can be controlled to be greater than that for parts closer to the curing component 200, thereby improving the uniformity of the overall curing rate of the component to be cured. For example, if part a of the component to be cured has a curing rate of 50% and part b has a curing rate of 25%, then the sliding cycle of the connecting part at part a can be controlled to be T, and the sliding cycle at part b can be controlled to be 2T. Here, 1T can represent the process of the curing component 200 moving relative to part x from left to right, and then from right to left.

[0130] Based on the curing rate, controlling the sliding speed of the connecting part allows for real-time acquisition of the solidification state of the chemical substances at various locations on the part to be cured, thereby determining the curing rate of each location. The sliding speed of the connecting part at each location on the part to be cured is then controlled based on the curing rate. The connecting part can be used to drive the curing component 200 to slide relative to the housing, and thus, to drive the curing component 200 to slide relative to the part to be cured. Therefore, it can be understood that the sliding speed of the connecting part is negatively correlated with the dwell time of the curing component 200; that is, the faster the moving speed of the connecting part at a certain location on the part to be cured, the shorter the curing time of the curing component 200 at that location. It is also understood that the shape of the part to be cured is not always regular; for irregular parts, the curing rate will not be the same at different locations. For areas of the component with a high curing rate, the connecting part can be controlled to move quickly, shortening the curing time of the curing component 200 at that location. Conversely, for areas of the component with a low curing rate, the connecting part can be controlled to move slowly, extending the curing time of the curing component 200 at that location. This helps shorten the overall processing time of the component, improves the uniformity of the curing effect, and prevents surface ablation in some areas due to excessive curing time or incomplete curing in others, thereby improving the surface quality of the component. It is understood that the ratio of the moving speed of the connecting part at each location is directly proportional to the ratio of the curing rates of the different locations of the component. Specifically, if location A of the component has a current curing rate of 50%, while location B has a current curing rate of 25%, the moving speed of the connecting part at location A can be controlled to be 2 cm / s, and at location B to be 1 cm / s.

[0131] Therefore, the above method, by controlling the sliding parameters of the connecting part based on the curing rate, can control the movement of the curing component 200 relative to the part to be cured, thereby achieving differentiated control of the sliding of the connecting part according to the curing rate of different parts of the part to be cured, thereby further improving the curing effect of each part of the part to be cured and improving the quality of the cured surface of the part to be cured.
