[0002] Currently, baking equipment is widely used in the processing industry, such as in the curing of coatings on electronic products, hardware, and powder-coated workpieces. Existing baking equipment, such as curing ovens, mostly uses electric heating tubes or quartz tubes for heating, and then uses a wind circulation system to transport hot air to the surface of the object to be heated for baking. This type of product has low production efficiency, high energy consumption, and a large footprint, which limits its application scenarios. At the same time, the hot air can easily cause bubbles and pinholes on the coating surface, affecting the yield rate.
[0003] Existing infrared curing control methods generally use fixed parameters. While this can achieve automatic curing to some extent, the lack of adjustments based on actual conditions results in a low yield of infrared curing. Therefore, designing a solution to improve the overall curing yield has become a pressing technical problem for those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

The optimization analysis results include a second heating state, which is the heating state that the mid-wave infrared heating furnace needs to achieve.
[0036] Based on the second heating state, the heating optimization parameters of the mid-wave infrared heating furnace are generated.

[0053] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0054] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," "third," "fourth," etc., in the specification and claims of this invention are used to distinguish different objects, not to describe a specific order. The terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, in the embodiments of this invention are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion. Exemplarily, a process, method, system, product, or device that includes a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units not explicitly listed or inherent to these processes, methods, products, or devices.
[0055] Existing infrared curing control methods generally use fixed parameters. While this can achieve automatic curing to some extent, it doesn't adjust based on actual conditions, resulting in a low yield rate. Therefore, this invention discloses a mid-wave infrared curing control method, system, electronic device, and storage medium. This method automatically determines whether heating parameters need adjustment based on the heating temperature deviation and preset heating difference conditions. This intelligent control mechanism ensures the heating process remains optimal, avoiding curing quality problems caused by overheating or insufficient temperature.
[0056] Example 1
[0057] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 1This is a flowchart illustrating the mid-wave infrared curing control method disclosed in this embodiment of the invention. The execution entity of the method described in this embodiment is an execution entity composed of software and / or hardware. This execution entity can receive relevant information via wired or / or wireless means and can send certain instructions. It may also have certain processing and storage functions. This execution entity can control multiple devices, such as remote physical servers or cloud servers and related software, or local hosts or servers and related software that perform related operations on devices located in a certain location. In some scenarios, it can also control multiple storage devices, which may be placed in the same location as the device or in different locations. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the mid-wave infrared curing control method includes the following steps:
[0058] S101: When the object to be cured is in a mid-wave infrared heating furnace, obtain the set heating temperature of the heating element of the mid-wave infrared heating furnace configured based on the object to be cured and the thermocouple temperature at the object to be cured, and calculate the heating temperature deviation value between the set heating temperature and the thermocouple temperature.
[0059] S102: Match the heating temperature deviation value with the set heating difference condition to determine whether the current heating temperature deviation value meets the set requirements;
[0060] S103: If the heating temperature deviation value does not meet the preset heating difference condition, obtain the heating adjustment data of the medium-wave infrared heating furnace, and determine the corresponding heating control parameters based on the heating adjustment data and the heating temperature deviation value.
[0061] S104: Generate heating control parameters based on the heating regulation parameters, and control the mid-wave infrared heating furnace to perform control operations that match the heating control parameters, so that the real-time heating temperature of the mid-wave infrared heating furnace matches the actual required temperature.
[0062] The above embodiment obtains the thermocouple temperature at the object to be cured in real time and compares it with the set heating element temperature to calculate the heating temperature deviation. This method can accurately reflect the difference between the current heating state and the desired state, providing an accurate data basis for subsequent control.
[0063] The system can match the heating temperature deviation value with the preset heating difference condition and automatically determine whether the heating parameters need to be adjusted. This intelligent control mechanism can ensure that the heating process is always kept in the optimal state, avoiding curing quality problems caused by overheating or insufficient temperature.
[0064] When the heating temperature deviation does not meet the preset conditions, the system can acquire heating adjustment data and determine the corresponding heating control parameters accordingly. This flexible adjustment method can adapt to objects of different materials, shapes, and thicknesses to be cured, ensuring the uniformity and effectiveness of heating.
[0065] The heating control parameters generated based on the heating regulation parameters can directly guide the mid-wave infrared heating furnace to perform corresponding control operations, achieving rapid response and precise control of the heating temperature. This greatly improves heating efficiency, shortens curing time, and reduces energy consumption. Through precise, intelligent, and flexible heating control, this method ensures that the objects to be cured are heated uniformly during the heating process, resulting in consistent curing effects and significantly improving product quality and stability. This method is not only applicable to the curing of single products but can also be adapted to the production needs of different products by adjusting the heating regulation parameters, enhancing the flexibility and adaptability of the production line.
[0066] The mid-wave infrared curing control method of this invention significantly improves the accuracy and efficiency of the curing process through precise temperature measurement, intelligent heating regulation, and efficient heating control, which is of great significance for improving product quality and reducing production costs.
[0067] More preferably, the mid-wave infrared heating furnace includes a first heating zone, a second heating zone, a third heating zone, and a fourth heating zone arranged in sequence; the mid-wave infrared heating furnace is also provided with a moving mechanism, and the object to be cured is placed at the corresponding moving mechanism to drive the object to be cured to pass through the first heating zone, the second heating zone, the third heating zone, and the fourth heating zone in sequence;
[0068] Before obtaining the set heating temperature of the heating element of the mid-wave infrared heating furnace configured based on the object to be cured and the thermocouple temperature at the object to be cured, the method further includes:
[0069] Receive heating sequence information based on the configuration of the object to be cured;
[0070] The heating sequence information is parsed to obtain a heating information group, which includes a first heating curve for controlling the heating element in the first heating area, a second heating curve for controlling the heating element in the second heating area, a third heating curve for controlling the heating element in the third heating area, and a fourth heating curve for controlling the heating element in the fourth heating area.
[0071] The operating states of the heating elements in the first heating area, the second heating area, the third heating area, and the fourth heating area are controlled according to the first heating curve, the second heating curve, the third heating curve, and the fourth heating curve, respectively.
[0072] The solution in this invention divides the heating furnace into four independent heating zones and sets an independent heating curve for each zone, achieving segmented and precise control of the heating process. This control strategy can employ different heating temperatures and times in different zones according to the characteristics and requirements of the object to be cured, in order to achieve the best curing effect.
[0073] Since each heating zone can be controlled independently, the heating power and temperature of each zone can be dynamically adjusted according to the actual position and moving speed of the object to be cured, thereby ensuring that the object to be cured maintains the best heating state throughout the heating process and improving heating efficiency.
[0074] By precisely controlling the heating power and temperature of each heating zone, unnecessary energy waste is avoided. When the object to be cured is not in a certain zone, the heating element in that zone can reduce its power or turn off, thereby significantly reducing energy consumption.
[0075] Different objects to be cured may require different heating sequences and heating curves. By receiving and analyzing heating sequence information, the system can automatically adjust the working status of each heating zone to adapt to the production needs of different products, enhancing the flexibility and adaptability of the production line. Because the heating process is controlled more precisely and flexibly, the objects to be cured are heated more evenly, resulting in a more consistent curing effect. This helps reduce quality problems caused by uneven temperature and improves the overall quality of the product.
[0076] Through automated control and intelligent adjustment, the need for manual intervention is reduced. Operators only need to input the heating sequence information of the object to be cured, and the system can automatically complete the subsequent heating control and adjustment work, simplifying the operation process and reducing the risk of human error.
[0077] More preferably, a first transition zone is provided between the first heating zone and the second heating zone, a second transition zone is provided between the second heating zone and the third heating zone, and a third transition zone is provided between the third heating zone and the fourth heating zone; a transition detection sensor is provided in each of the first, second, and third transition zones; the detection accuracy of the transition detection sensor is higher than that of the thermocouple in the first heating zone.
[0078] The curing control method further includes:
[0079] Before the moving mechanism moves the object to be cured from one heating area to another, the transition temperature parameters detected by the corresponding transition detection sensor are obtained;
[0080] The transition temperature parameter is matched with the set transition requirements. If the transition temperature parameter matches the set transition requirements, the moving mechanism is allowed to move the object to be cured from one heating area to another heating area.
[0081] If the transition temperature parameter does not match the set transition requirements, the moving mechanism is not allowed to move the object to be cured from one heating area to another.
[0082] The solution of this invention, by setting a transition zone between heating zones and equipping it with a high-precision transition detection sensor, enables the system to more accurately monitor temperature changes of the object to be cured during the transfer process. This enhanced process control helps ensure temperature stability of the object during the transition between different heating zones, avoiding curing quality problems caused by sudden temperature changes.
[0083] By comparing the transition temperature parameters detected by the transition detection sensor with the set transition requirements, the system can intelligently determine whether the object to be cured has met the conditions for entering the next heating zone. This decision-making mechanism based on real-time data helps reduce under-curing or overheating caused by transferring objects too early or too late, thereby improving the curing quality and consistency of the product. Allowing or disallowing the moving mechanism to transfer the object to be cured based on the transition temperature parameters achieves automated and intelligent control of the production process. This control strategy reduces manual intervention and waiting time, improving production efficiency.
[0084] By strictly controlling the transition temperature parameters, the system can prevent objects to be cured from being mistakenly transferred to the next heating zone before they have reached safe transfer conditions. This helps prevent equipment damage or safety accidents caused by excessively high or low temperatures. Different objects to be cured may require different transition temperature requirements. By adjusting the set transition requirements, the system can flexibly adapt to the production needs of different products, enhancing the flexibility and adaptability of the production line.
[0085] More preferably, determining the corresponding heating control parameters based on the heating adjustment data and the heating temperature deviation value includes:
[0086] Based on the heating adjustment data, determine whether all heating elements in all medium-wave infrared heating furnaces meet the preset heating operation conditions;
[0087] When it is determined that all heating elements of the medium-wave infrared heating furnace do not uniformly meet the preset heating operation conditions, the heating elements in the medium-wave infrared heating furnace that do not meet the preset heating operation conditions are identified as target heating elements.
[0088] For each target heating element, based on the preset heating operating conditions and the heating adjustment data, the element adjustment parameters of the target heating element are generated so that the target heating element meets the preset heating operating conditions;
[0089] Based on the heating temperature deviation value, the heating deviation factor of the medium-wave infrared heating furnace is determined; the heating deviation factor includes the influence factor that the heating temperature deviation value does not meet the preset heating difference condition;
[0090] Heating control parameters are generated based on the heating adjustment parameters of each target heating element and the heating deviation factor.
[0091] The solution of this invention achieves refined management of heating elements by checking each heating element in a mid-wave infrared heating furnace to ensure that it meets preset heating operation conditions. This helps to promptly identify and resolve potential operational problems, ensuring that each heating element operates under normal conditions, thereby improving the overall performance and stability of the heating system.
[0092] For heating elements that do not meet the preset heating operation conditions, this method can identify them as target heating elements and generate specific element adjustment parameters for them. This targeted control strategy can quickly adjust the operating state of the target heating element to meet the operating requirements, thereby avoiding unnecessary impact on the entire heating system.
[0093] When determining the heating control parameters, this method not only considers the heating adjustment parameters of the target heating element but also introduces a heating deviation factor. The heating deviation factor includes the influence of heating temperature deviation values not meeting preset heating difference conditions, allowing the control parameters to more comprehensively reflect the current heating state and deviation. By comprehensively considering these factors, the generated heating control parameters can more effectively correct heating deviations and improve the accuracy of heating control.
[0094] Through refined heating element management and targeted heating control, this method ensures that the heating furnace maintains optimal operating conditions in different areas and stages. This helps improve heating efficiency, shorten curing time, and reduce quality problems caused by uneven heating or temperature fluctuations. The method can automatically identify and address operational issues with the heating elements and generate corresponding control parameters based on actual conditions. This adaptive control mechanism allows the system to better adapt to different production conditions and product requirements, improving system adaptability and stability. The heating operating conditions here can be set by parameters such as heating power and element current.
[0095] More preferably, each of the first heating region, the second heating region, the third heating region and the fourth heating region is provided with a corresponding heating component, and the heating component includes multiple heating zones;
[0096] The curing control method further includes:
[0097] Obtain the first heating time corresponding to the first heating temperature of the corresponding heating area in the mid-wave infrared heating furnace and the second heating time corresponding to the second heating temperature of the corresponding area in the mid-wave infrared heating furnace.
[0098] Heating duration information is obtained based on the first heating time and the second heating time. The corresponding heating variation parameters of the mid-wave infrared heating furnace are determined based on the heating duration information and the heating temperature deviation value.
[0099] The target heating temperature is determined based on the user-configured heating requirements; a second heating difference between the target heating temperature and the first heating temperature is calculated; and the heating change time from the second heating temperature to the target heating temperature is calculated based on the second heating difference and the heating change parameters.
[0100] Determine whether the duration of the heating change is greater than or equal to a preset duration threshold;
[0101] When it is determined that the heating change duration threshold is greater than or equal to the preset duration threshold, the corresponding heating optimization parameters for the mid-wave infrared heating furnace are generated based on the heating change duration.
[0102] The solution of this invention achieves more precise control over the heating process by setting multiple heating zones within each heating area and monitoring and controlling the temperature of these zones separately. This helps reduce temperature fluctuations and improve heating uniformity, thereby ensuring that the object to be cured achieves optimal curing results in different areas.
[0103] By acquiring heating temperature data at different times, calculating heating duration and temperature deviation, and then determining heating variation parameters, this method can reflect the furnace's operating status in real time and dynamically adjust the heating strategy based on actual conditions. This helps to quickly respond to temperature deviations, reduce waste during the heating process, and improve heating efficiency.
[0104] The target heating temperature is determined based on the user's configured heating requirements, and the required heating duration to reach that temperature is calculated. This method ensures that the heating process meets the user's actual needs while avoiding overheating or underheating. By determining whether the heating duration meets a preset threshold, the heating strategy can be further optimized, unnecessary waiting time reduced, and production efficiency improved.
[0105] The entire heating process is achieved through automated control and intelligent adjustment, reducing the need for manual intervention. This helps reduce the risk of human error and improves the stability and reliability of the heating system. Simultaneously, intelligent heating control can continuously optimize the heating strategy based on historical data and real-time feedback, enhancing the overall intelligence level of the heating system.
[0106] By employing more precise temperature control and dynamically adjusting heating strategies, a uniform and stable temperature distribution can be ensured for the object to be cured during the heating process. This helps reduce curing quality issues caused by uneven temperature, improving the overall quality of the product. Furthermore, optimizing the heating strategy can shorten heating time and increase production efficiency.
[0107] More preferably, the step of generating corresponding heating optimization parameters for the mid-wave infrared heating furnace based on the heating variation duration includes:
[0108] Obtain the current first heating state of the mid-wave infrared heating furnace;
[0109] The first heating state and the heating change duration are input into a pre-determined optimization analysis model to obtain optimization analysis results. The optimization analysis results include a second heating state, which is the heating state that the mid-wave infrared heating furnace needs to achieve.
[0110] Based on the second heating state, the heating optimization parameters of the mid-wave infrared heating furnace are generated.
[0111] This method acquires the current heating state (i.e., the first heating state) of the mid-wave infrared heater in real time and inputs it along with the heating change duration into a pre-defined optimization analysis model, thereby achieving real-time dynamic adjustment of the heating process. This real-time and dynamic nature ensures that the heater can quickly respond to changes in heating demand, improving the flexibility and accuracy of heating control.
[0112] The application of optimization analysis models makes the generation of heating optimization parameters more intelligent and automated. The model can automatically calculate the optimal second heating state based on the input heating state and duration of change, and generate the corresponding heating optimization parameters accordingly. This not only reduces the burden of manual operation but also avoids errors that may be caused by human factors, improving the accuracy and reliability of heating control. Through the calculations of the optimization analysis model, the generated heating optimization parameters can more accurately meet heating requirements while reducing unnecessary energy consumption. This helps improve the energy efficiency of mid-wave infrared heating furnaces, reduce operating costs, and meet environmental protection requirements for energy conservation and emission reduction.
[0113] This method can adapt to different types of heating tasks and conditions. Because the optimization analysis model is built upon extensive data and algorithms, it can handle various complex heating situations, including those involving different materials, thicknesses, and heating requirements. This makes the method highly adaptable and flexible, capable of meeting the diverse needs of different users.
[0114] By precisely controlling the heating process and generating optimized parameters, this method ensures that the furnace maintains a stable temperature distribution and uniform heating effect during the heating process. This helps reduce coating quality problems caused by temperature fluctuations and uneven heating, thereby improving the overall quality and reliability of the product.
[0115] More preferably, the curing control method further includes:
[0116] When the temperature of the corresponding heating area in the medium-wave infrared heating furnace is detected to exceed the warning temperature, the fan in the corresponding heating area is activated to achieve the corresponding temperature control.
[0117] In this embodiment of the invention, when the temperature in a certain area of the heating furnace exceeds a preset warning temperature, the fan in that area is immediately activated to dissipate heat, which can quickly reduce the temperature in that area and prevent further temperature increases that could damage the heating elements, degrade the coating quality, or even cause a safety accident. This real-time temperature regulation capability is crucial for ensuring the stability and safety of the heating process.
[0118] By using fans for heat dissipation, the temperature distribution within the heating furnace can be balanced, reducing energy waste caused by localized overheating. Simultaneously, timely temperature regulation ensures the furnace operates within a more suitable temperature range, thereby improving heating efficiency and shortening heating time. This optimization enhances the furnace's temperature control system, enabling it to react more quickly to temperature fluctuations and maintain system stability. This is of great significance for improving the continuity and reliability of the production line.
[0119] Since heat transfer takes time, in situations requiring emergency cooling, fans or other methods can be used to rapidly reduce the temperature in the corresponding area. Not only does the temperature decrease, but the concentration also decreases, making the environment more controllable and improving the yield rate to some extent.
[0120] In many industrial processes, increased temperature is often accompanied by an increase in the concentration of certain volatile substances or reaction products. Rapidly lowering the temperature using methods such as fans can simultaneously promote the volatilization and diffusion of these substances, thereby reducing their concentration in the environment. This dual control mechanism helps maintain the stability and safety of the production environment. In applications requiring precise environmental control, such as precision manufacturing and laboratory research, drastic temperature changes can affect other environmental parameters (such as humidity, air pressure, and airflow velocity). The rapid response of equipment like fans allows for coordinated adjustments to these parameters, enabling the environment to reach predetermined targets more quickly and improving the accuracy and repeatability of production or experiments.
[0121] Temperature uniformity is achieved by detecting the temperature of the painted surface to determine the temperature parameters of each area, followed by corresponding heating control. In practice, an infrared thermal imager can be used for temperature zone detection, quickly and accurately measuring the temperature distribution of the painted surface. The infrared thermal imager provides a clear view of the temperature distribution, allowing for the identification of areas requiring heating or cooling. Specifically, the spray booth is divided into multiple zones, with individual heating control implemented for each zone based on its temperature parameters. This allows for more precise temperature adjustment in each zone, achieving better temperature uniformity. An intelligent control system is employed, automatically adjusting based on real-time temperature data and preset temperature ranges. When the temperature deviates from the preset range, the system automatically activates heating or cooling equipment to restore temperature uniformity.
[0122] Mid-wave infrared radiation typically ranges from 2.0 to 4.0 μm in wavelength. This wavelength can effectively penetrate material surfaces, providing deep heating. However, the heating effect of infrared radiation is influenced by various factors, including the intensity of the radiation source, the radiation distance, and the absorptivity of the material. The wavelength of mid-wave infrared radiation matches the characteristic infrared absorption peaks of certain functional groups in resin coatings, causing resonance among molecules within the coating and generating heat. This resonant heating mechanism allows heat to be rapidly and concentratedly transferred to the coating surface. Due to the high efficiency of resonant heating, the coating surface temperature does indeed rise rapidly. However, this heating process is within a controllable range because infrared heating equipment is usually equipped with a temperature control system that can monitor and adjust the heating power in real time to maintain the coating surface temperature within a preset range. This enables more efficient temperature control and detection, improving the overall yield.
[0123] The mid-wave infrared curing control method in this embodiment of the invention can automatically determine whether heating parameters need to be adjusted by matching the heating temperature deviation value with the preset heating difference condition. This intelligent control mechanism can ensure that the heating process is always kept in the optimal state, avoiding curing quality problems caused by overheating or insufficient temperature.
