Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of curing process control technology, and in particular to a curing control system and its control method. Background Technology

[0002] Product curing is a key process in industrial production and is widely used in industries such as electronics, new materials, hardware, and plastics. The temperature, humidity, and curing time of the curing process directly determine the quality, stability, and service life of the cured product.

[0003] Currently, commonly used curing control systems can only scan the workpiece entering the curing space and scan it again when it leaves the curing space after curing is complete, in order to monitor the curing time. Temperature and humidity control can only be achieved through temperature and humidity sensors; when the monitoring results exceed preset curing parameters, manual adjustment by personnel is required. Therefore, existing curing control systems require on-site monitoring by personnel to observe the monitoring results in a timely manner and adjust accordingly. This curing control system's method of controlling environmental parameters in the curing space relies on manual operation, increasing labor costs and making it susceptible to malfunctions due to human error.

[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, there is an urgent need to provide a curing control system and its control method. This system would address the problem that the curing control system's control of environmental parameters in the curing space relies on operator intervention, increasing labor costs and making it prone to malfunctions due to human error. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to propose a curing control system and its control method, so as to automatically detect the curing time and environmental parameters of the workpiece entering the curing space, and to automatically adjust the curing parameters and issue a timely warning when a fault occurs.

[0006] To achieve this objective, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A curing control system, comprising: An environmental monitoring module is configured to control environmental parameters of the curing space, including curing temperature and curing humidity. The acquisition module is configured to acquire information about the workpiece when the workpiece enters or leaves the curing space, the information including the workpiece batch, preset curing parameters, and actual environmental parameters. A parameter adjustment module is configured to control the environmental parameters within the curing space to make them conform to the preset curing parameters of the workpiece. A control module is communicatively connected to the environmental monitoring module, the acquisition module, and the parameter adjustment module. The control module is configured to adjust the environmental parameters of the parameter adjustment module based on the monitoring results of the environmental monitoring module, and to acquire information about the workpiece obtained by the acquisition module. The alarm module is communicatively connected to the environmental monitoring module, the acquisition module, the parameter adjustment module, and the control module. The alarm module is configured to compare the environmental parameters in the curing space with the preset curing parameters in real time. When the environmental parameters do not meet the range of the preset curing parameters or the equipment is operating abnormally, the alarm module pushes an alarm prompt to the control module and records the abnormal data simultaneously.

[0007] In one embodiment, the environmental monitoring module includes: A temperature monitoring unit includes multiple sets of temperature monitors distributed within the curing space to detect the temperature at different locations within the curing space; and A humidity monitoring unit, comprising multiple sets of humidity detectors distributed in the curing space to detect humidity at different locations within the curing space.

[0008] In one embodiment, the parameter adjustment module includes: A heat exchange unit includes multiple sets of heat exchangers configured to heat or cool the curing space to maintain a preset temperature. Each heat exchanger is paired with a temperature monitor. A steam supply unit includes a steam supply end and a delivery pipe extending along a first direction and / or a second direction, the delivery pipe having a through hole, the steam supply end being configured to generate steam and release it through the through hole in the curing space to maintain humidity in the curing space.

[0009] In one embodiment, the parameter adjustment module further includes: An air circulation equalization unit is configured to drive air circulation within the curing space to ensure uniform temperature and humidity distribution within the curing space.

[0010] In one embodiment, the acquisition module includes: The scanning end is set at the entrance and exit of the curing space. The scanning end is configured to scan and record information of the workpiece entering and leaving the curing space. The information includes the batch of the cured workpiece, the time of entering the curing space, and the time of leaving the curing space. The scanning end is connected to the control module to associate the workpiece with preset curing parameters.

[0011] In one embodiment, the control module includes: The computer control terminal, as the main control terminal, is configured to preset the curing parameters and environmental parameters, store information about the cured component acquired by the acquisition module, monitor the operating status, and control and adjust the temperature and humidity; and The mobile phone control terminal is connected to the computer control terminal. The mobile phone control terminal is a remote monitoring terminal and is configured to synchronously receive the environmental parameters and operating data transmitted by the computer control terminal. The computer control terminal and the mobile phone control terminal are synchronously connected to the alarm module. The computer control terminal and the mobile phone control terminal are configured to adjust the set temperature of the heat exchanger and the delivery flow rate of the steam supply unit when the alarm module issues an alarm prompt.

[0012] In one embodiment, the computer control terminal includes: The data storage unit is configured to store the parameters, environmental parameters, temperature and humidity operating data, and abnormal alarm records of the cured component acquired by the acquisition module. The computing unit is configured to compare environmental parameters with preset fixed parameters and output control and warning commands; The drive module is configured to control the start and stop operation of the acquisition module, the heat exchanger, the steam supply unit, and the air circulation equalization unit.

[0013] In one embodiment, the alarm module is equipped with a multi-level alarm mechanism, the multi-level alarm mechanism including: Level 1 alarm: When the environmental monitoring module detects a slight deviation in temperature and humidity, the alarm module issues a Level 1 alarm. Level 2 alarm: When the environmental monitoring module detects that the temperature and humidity are severely exceeded, the alarm module issues a Level 2 alarm. Level 3 alarm: The alarm module issues a Level 3 alarm when it detects a device malfunction. Corresponding to the first-level alarm, the second-level alarm, and the third-level alarm, the alarm module's alert sound increases progressively, the alarm module's alert light color changes progressively, and the frequency with which the alarm module pushes messages to the control module increases progressively.

[0014] A control method for a curing control system includes the following steps: By setting the curing parameters for different batches of workpieces through the control module, the parameters of the curing control system are initialized. The acquisition module is controlled to acquire information about the workpiece when the workpiece enters the curing space. The information includes the workpiece batch, preset curing parameters, and environmental parameters. The control module acquires the information of the workpiece from the acquisition module and simultaneously generates a solidified ledger of the workpiece. After the workpiece enters the curing space, the environmental monitoring module is controlled to monitor the environmental parameters within the curing space in real time. The control module is responsible for summarizing and storing the solidified data in real time. The control alarm module compares the actual environmental parameters in the curing space with the preset curing parameters in real time. When the actual environmental parameters do not meet the preset curing parameter range or the equipment is operating abnormally, it pushes an alarm prompt to the control module and records the abnormal data simultaneously.

[0015] In one embodiment, after the preset curing time is reached, the control module prompts that curing is complete. When the workpiece that has been cured leaves the curing space, the acquisition module acquires the information again to complete the full-process curing control and archiving.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: This invention provides a curing control system, comprising an environmental monitoring module, an acquisition module, a parameter adjustment module, a control module, and an alarm module. The environmental monitoring module is configured to control the environmental parameters of the curing space, including curing temperature and curing humidity. The acquisition module is configured to acquire workpiece information when the workpiece enters or leaves the curing space, including workpiece batch, preset curing parameters, and actual environmental parameters. The parameter adjustment module is configured to control the environmental parameters within the curing space to conform to the preset curing parameters of the workpiece. The control module is communicatively connected to the environmental monitoring module, the acquisition module, and the parameter adjustment module, and is configured to adjust the environmental parameters of the parameter adjustment module based on the monitoring results of the environmental monitoring module, and acquire the workpiece information acquired by the acquisition module. The alarm module is communicatively connected to the environmental monitoring module, the acquisition module, the parameter adjustment module, and the control module, and is configured to compare the environmental parameters within the curing space with the preset curing parameters in real time. When the environmental parameters do not conform to the preset curing parameter range or when the equipment operates abnormally, the alarm module pushes an alarm notification to the control module and simultaneously records the abnormal data. This curing control system achieves intelligent and precise control of the entire curing process through an integrated collaborative architecture comprising an environmental monitoring module, an acquisition module, a parameter adjustment module, a control module, and an alarm module. The acquisition module accurately captures batch information, preset curing parameters, and actual environmental parameters as workpieces enter and exit the curing space, enabling precise binding and traceability of curing process parameters for each batch. The environmental monitoring module provides real-time, comprehensive monitoring of curing temperature and humidity. The control module, based on real-time monitoring data, coordinates with the parameter adjustment module to dynamically match the curing space environmental parameters to the specific preset curing standards for different batches of workpieces, eliminating batch-to-batch curing variations caused by the uniform parameters of traditional curing equipment. Furthermore, this curing control system eliminates the need for personnel to monitor and adjust environmental parameters within the curing space in real time, reducing labor costs and the probability of malfunctions and product defects due to human error.

[0017] This invention also provides a control method for a curing control system, the method comprising the following steps: setting curing parameters corresponding to different batches of workpieces through a control module to initialize the parameters of the curing control system; acquiring information about the workpiece when it enters the curing space, including workpiece batch, preset curing parameters, and environmental parameters; acquiring the workpiece information from the acquisition module and simultaneously generating a curing log for the workpiece; after the workpiece enters the curing space, monitoring the environmental parameters within the curing space in real time through a control environmental monitoring module; summarizing and storing curing data in real time through a control module; and comparing the actual environmental parameters within the curing space with the preset curing parameters in real time through a control alarm module, pushing an alarm notification to the control module and simultaneously recording abnormal data when the actual environmental parameters do not conform to the preset curing parameter range or when the equipment operates abnormally. This control method first initializes parameters to adapt to different batches of workpieces. Upon warehousing, it collects workpiece information and generates a curing log. During operation, it monitors the internal environmental parameters in real time, summarizes and stores various curing data throughout the process, and automatically compares measured parameters with standard parameters. Any parameter deviations or equipment malfunctions trigger alarms and record abnormal information. The entire process is coherent and standardized, allowing for complete control of the curing process and facilitating timely handling of anomalies and data traceability. This control method automatically generates a curing task log, and upon workpiece removal, it scans and verifies the workpiece to confirm curing completion. The entire process is automatically recorded, eliminating the need for manual registration. Attached Figure Description

[0021] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and not intended to limit it. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, the accompanying drawings show only portions of the structure relevant to the present invention, not the complete structure.

They are used only for ease of description and simplification of operation, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the present invention. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are used only for distinction in description and have no special meaning.

[0025] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a curing control system. This curing control system is used for the curing process control of a workpiece within a curing space. The workpiece can be any structure with curing requirements from industries such as electronics, new materials, hardware, and plastics. For example, in this embodiment, the workpiece is an automotive interior component. After the automotive interior component undergoes a pre-processing step to coat the substrate and the coating layer, since the substrate and coating layer are fixed by adhesive, to improve the stability of the bond, the bonded structure needs to be placed in a curing space and cured for a preset time at a preset curing temperature and curing parameters to ensure the bonding strength between the substrate and the coating layer.

[0026] The curing space can be a room specifically used for curing, or it can be called a curing room.

[0027] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the curing control system includes an environmental monitoring module 100, an acquisition module 200, a parameter adjustment module 300, a control module 400, and an alarm module 500. The system includes an environmental monitoring module 100 configured to control the environmental parameters of the curing space, including curing temperature and curing humidity; an acquisition module 200 configured to acquire workpiece information when the workpiece enters or leaves the curing space, including workpiece batch, preset curing parameters, and actual environmental parameters; a parameter adjustment module 300 configured to control the environmental parameters within the curing space to conform to the workpiece's preset curing parameters; a control module 400 communicatively connected to the environmental monitoring module 100, acquisition module 200, and parameter adjustment module 300, configured to adjust the environmental parameters of the parameter adjustment module 300 based on the monitoring results of the environmental monitoring module 100, and acquire the workpiece information acquired by the acquisition module 200; and an alarm module 500 communicatively connected to the environmental monitoring module 100, acquisition module 200, parameter adjustment module 300, and control module 400, configured to compare the environmental parameters within the curing space with the preset curing parameters in real time, and to push an alarm notification to the control module 400 and simultaneously record abnormal data when the environmental parameters do not conform to the preset curing parameter range or when the equipment operates abnormally.

[0028] The curing control system in this embodiment achieves intelligent and precise control of the entire curing process through an integrated collaborative architecture of an environmental monitoring module 100, an acquisition module 200, a parameter adjustment module 300, a control module 400, and an alarm module 500. The acquisition module 200 accurately captures batch information, preset curing parameters, and actual environmental parameters when workpieces enter and exit the curing space, enabling precise binding and traceability of curing process parameters for each batch of workpieces. Combined with the real-time, comprehensive monitoring of curing temperature and humidity by the environmental monitoring module 100, the control module 400, based on real-time monitoring data, coordinates and adjusts the parameter adjustment module 300. This allows the environmental parameters of the curing space to dynamically match the specific preset curing standards for different batches of workpieces, eliminating the batch curing differences caused by the uniform parameter operation of traditional curing equipment. Furthermore, this curing control system eliminates the need for personnel to monitor and adjust environmental parameters within the curing space in real time, reducing labor costs, the probability of malfunctions due to human error, and the probability of product defects caused by human error.

[0029] Furthermore, this curing control system uses an alarm module 500 to compare actual environmental parameters with preset parameter thresholds in real time. This allows for rapid identification of faults such as excessive temperature and humidity, abnormal equipment operation, and timely push of alarm information and retention of abnormal data. This enables early warning, accurate tracing, and timely handling of curing anomalies, effectively ensuring the stability and adaptability of temperature and humidity parameters in the curing space. It significantly improves the curing uniformity and production quality consistency of different batches of products, reduces the risk of product scrapping due to process abnormalities, and, relying on the closed-loop control logic of multi-module communication linkage, achieves full monitoring, controllability, traceability, and early warning throughout the curing production process, significantly improving the intelligent control level and production stability of the curing process.

[0030] In one embodiment, the environmental monitoring module 100 includes a temperature monitoring unit 110, which comprises multiple sets of temperature monitors distributed throughout the curing space to detect the temperature at different locations within the curing space. By distributing these multiple temperature monitors at different locations within the curing space, the environmental monitoring module 100 can simultaneously collect and monitor the temperature at multiple points and in multiple areas within the curing space in real time. Compared to traditional single-point temperature measurement methods, this effectively avoids the problem of incomplete or distorted monitoring data caused by temperature gradients or local temperature deviations within the curing space. It comprehensively covers the entire temperature field of the curing space, accurately captures local temperature differences and fluctuations within the space, and provides comprehensive, accurate, and reliable global temperature baseline data for the subsequent balanced temperature adjustment and precise parameter correction by the parameter adjustment module 300. This effectively ensures the overall temperature uniformity of the curing space, avoids inconsistent workpiece curing degrees due to local temperature unevenness, and significantly improves the consistency and stability of batch product curing quality.

[0031] Furthermore, multiple temperature monitors can be arranged at the top, middle, bottom, and corners within the curing space, and can be deployed within the length and width of the curing space. This temperature monitoring unit 110 can form a three-dimensional temperature monitoring network covering the longitudinal layers, the entire lateral area, and filling in dead corners of the curing space. This effectively solves the problem that traditional single-point and local point temperature measurement methods cannot identify temperature differences between upper and lower layers, temperature differences in planar areas, and local temperature anomalies caused by weak airflow in corners. It can comprehensively, accurately, and synchronously collect real-time temperature data of each area within the curing chamber, completely restore the true temperature field distribution within the curing space, eliminate monitoring blind spots and data distortion, and provide high-precision, full-coverage basic data support for subsequent system implementation of global temperature balance adjustment, precise zone temperature control, and parameter adaptive correction. This ensures that the temperature of each placement area within the curing space meets the workpiece curing process requirements, effectively improves the uniformity and consistency of the workpiece curing temperature throughout the entire chamber, avoids product curing defects and batch quality fluctuations caused by local temperature deviations, and significantly improves the accuracy of the curing process and the overall stability of the product curing quality.

[0032] When workpieces are placed in multiple layers using a multi-layer frame, multiple temperature monitors can be arranged at the top, middle, bottom, and corners of the curing space. These monitors can simultaneously collect real-time temperatures at different heights and corner areas of the multi-layer frame, accurately grasp the temperature differences of each workpiece's environment, and avoid problems such as temperature differences between upper and lower layers or abnormal temperature zones at corners when placing multiple layers. Based on the measured data, the temperature control can be adjusted layer by layer to ensure that the heating conditions of each workpiece are consistent, thus guaranteeing a uniform curing degree for multi-layered products.

[0033] For example, the temperature monitor can be any one or more of thermistor temperature sensors, thermocouple temperature detectors, digital temperature probes, and patch temperature sensors.

[0034] In one embodiment, the environmental monitoring module 100 further includes a humidity monitoring unit 120, which includes multiple sets of humidity monitors distributed in the curing space to detect the humidity at different locations within the curing space. This enables multi-point synchronous acquisition and real-time monitoring of humidity at different locations and in different areas within the curing space, overcoming the shortcomings of traditional curing equipment that relies solely on single-point humidity detection and has limited monitoring coverage. It can accurately capture abnormal humidity distribution conditions such as localized humidity accumulation, uneven regional humidity, and humidity stratification between upper and lower layers within the curing space, comprehensively restoring the true state of the humidity field across the entire curing space, eliminating blind spots in humidity monitoring, and providing comprehensive, accurate, and reliable global humidity data support for the system to calibrate the humidity within the cavity in real time and to coordinate with temperature parameters for integrated environmental balancing control. This ensures that the humidity in each area of ​​the curing space matches the preset curing process requirements of the workpiece, effectively avoiding defects such as stickiness, incomplete curing, and uneven surface quality caused by excessively high or low local humidity, further improving the uniformity and stability of the curing quality of the entire batch of products.

[0035] Optionally, multiple humidity monitors can be staggered with multiple temperature monitors, ensuring that temperature and humidity monitoring points are offset and complementary, avoiding overlapping and blank areas caused by clustering of similar monitoring points. This enables synchronous, corresponding, and complementary three-dimensional data acquisition of temperature and humidity in vertical layers, the entire plane, and corner areas within the curing space. This truly achieves full-area, blind-spot-free monitoring of temperature and humidity parameters in the curing space, simultaneously and accurately capturing individual temperature deviations and humidity imbalances in each local area. It completely and realistically recreates the three-dimensional temperature and humidity coupling distribution within the curing chamber, providing high-precision, high-matching full-area coupling environment data support for the system to carry out coordinated temperature and humidity balance control, precise zonal correction, and adaptive matching of process parameters. This effectively ensures that the temperature and humidity parameters in each area of ​​the curing space synchronously meet the curing process requirements of the corresponding batch of workpieces, further improving the overall curing environment uniformity and process stability.

[0036] For example, the humidity monitor can be any one or more of a capacitive humidity sensor, a resistive humidity detector, an integrated digital humidity probe, and a wall-mounted humidity detection module.

[0037] In one embodiment, the parameter adjustment module 300 includes a heat exchange unit 310, which comprises multiple sets of heat exchangers configured to heat or cool the curing space to maintain a preset temperature. Each heat exchanger is paired with a temperature monitor. This one-to-one arrangement of heat exchangers and temperature monitors allows for targeted heating or cooling adjustments to corresponding areas based on measured temperatures at each point. This precisely eliminates temperature differences throughout the curing space, avoiding the problem of inconsistent temperature control across the entire area. It quickly stabilizes the temperature of each area within the preset process range, effectively ensuring uniform temperature distribution within the space and meeting the curing temperature requirements of workpieces in different locations.

[0038] The heat exchanger can be any structure such as an air conditioner or a heating component.

[0039] like Figure 2 As shown, the parameter adjustment module 300 also includes a steam supply unit 320. The steam supply unit 320 includes a steam supply end 321 and a conveying pipe 322 extending along a first direction and / or a second direction. The conveying pipe 322 has through holes. The steam supply end 321 is configured to generate steam and release it into the curing space through the through holes of the conveying pipe 322 to maintain the humidity in the curing space. The first direction and the second direction are the length direction and the width direction of the curing space, respectively. The conveying pipe 322 of the steam supply unit 320 extends along the length and width directions of the curing space. Steam is diffused and released outward from the through holes in the pipe wall. Water vapor can evenly cover the entire chamber area, which can evenly regulate the humidity of the entire area, effectively reduce local dry and wet deviations, and stably maintain the humidity environment required for the process. This ensures that workpieces placed in different positions and multiple layers are under the same humidity conditions, guaranteeing the overall uniformity and stability of the curing quality.

[0040] In one embodiment, the delivery pipe 322 is located at the top of the curing space, and the through hole is located below the delivery pipe 322, so that the steam ejected from the through hole is ejected downwards. The downward-facing through hole allows the steam to diffuse downwards, and it can evenly fill all parts of the chamber by relying on natural settling characteristics, effectively avoiding local steam accumulation, and covering the workpieces on multiple layers of the frame layer by layer, so that the humidity distribution of the overall space is balanced and stable, ensuring that the workpieces at each level are in a standard humidity environment, and ensuring uniform curing effect.

[0041] In another embodiment, the delivery pipe 322 is located at the top of the curing space, and through holes are provided on both sides of the delivery pipe 322. This allows for rapid horizontal filling of the curing space, mitigating the problem of localized moisture accumulation, uniformly covering the multi-layered workpiece area, promoting a more consistent humidity distribution within the cavity, and stably meeting the curing humidity requirements of workpieces at each location.

[0042] like Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, in one embodiment, the parameter adjustment module 300 further includes an air circulation equalization unit 330. The air circulation equalization unit 330 is configured to drive air circulation within the curing space to ensure uniform temperature and humidity distribution within the curing space. This unit drives continuous air circulation within the cavity, which can break up localized areas of concentrated temperature and humidity, promote the thorough mixing of heat and moisture, effectively reduce temperature and humidity differences throughout the space, and unify overall environmental parameters, ensuring consistent operating conditions for all workpieces and stabilizing the quality of the curing process.

[0043] Furthermore, to prevent the airflow equalization unit 330 from disturbing the airflow and lowering the temperature within the curing space, the airflow equalization unit 330 includes an airflow drive component 331 and a heating component 332. The heating component 332 is located downstream of the airflow drive component 331 to heat the gas flowing out of the airflow drive component 331. The airflow drive component 331 drives the air circulation within the cavity, and the downstream heating component 332 can simultaneously supplement the temperature of the circulating airflow. This not only balances the overall temperature and humidity through airflow agitation but also counteracts the cooling effect caused by airflow, maintaining a stable and compliant space temperature while balancing environmental uniformity and process temperature requirements.

[0044] In one embodiment, the airflow equalization unit 330 further includes an annular ventilation duct 333 and adjustable air vents 334. The annular ventilation duct 333 is arranged around the inner wall of the curing space. An airflow drive component 331 is connected to the ventilation duct 333. Each air vent 334 is evenly distributed on the side wall of the duct. The airflow drive component 331 drives air circulation, and the opening of the air vents 334 is adjusted to eliminate dead zones in temperature and humidity inside the curing space, ensuring that the temperature and humidity balance error across the entire area is ≤±0.5℃ and ±3%RH. Exemplarily, the airflow drive component 331 is a fan, blower, fan blade, or air duct guide unit.

[0045] The air circulation equalization unit 330 is communicatively connected to the control module 400 so that the control module 400 can control the start, stop and power of the air circulation equalization unit 330 according to the environmental parameters in the solidified space.

[0046] In one embodiment, the acquisition module 200 includes a scanning end 210, which is positioned at the entrance and exit of the curing space. The scanning end 210 is configured to scan and record information about workpieces entering and exiting the curing space, including the batch number of the workpiece, the time of entry into the curing space, and the time of exit from the curing space. The scanning end 210 is communicatively connected to the control module 400 to associate preset curing parameters of the workpiece. Positioned at the cavity entrance and exit, the scanning end 210 can automatically collect data such as workpiece batch number and entry / exit time and upload it to the control module 400. The system can accurately match the corresponding preset curing parameters, achieving a one-to-one binding of workpiece information and processing parameters, facilitating precise control of curing time and process conditions, and improving the accuracy of operation control.

[0047] Specifically, when the workpiece enters or exits the curing space through the carrier device, the scanning end 210 can scan any information communication method that stores product information, such as a QR code or barcode, located on the carrier device to obtain the workpiece information. For example, the carrier device can be a frame for carrying a single workpiece or a frame for carrying multiple or even multi-layered workpieces; this embodiment does not limit this.

[0048] Meanwhile, the curing control system has a parameter for the curing time of the workpiece. When the workpiece leaves the curing space before the curing time is reached, the scanning end 210 at the exit scans and obtains information, and then feeds the information back to the control module 400. The alarm module 500 then issues an alarm to provide a reminder.

[0049] Furthermore, the scanning end 210 can be a high-definition QR code and / or barcode scanner, which can be detachably fixed to the entrance and exit of the solidified space. The fixed position of the scanning end 210 corresponds to the frame carrying the workpiece, so that the frame is automatically scanned when it is pushed in or out, without the need for manual scanning by the staff. This helps to further improve convenience and safety, and avoid omissions in monitoring due to staff forgetting to scan.

[0050] The scanning terminal 210 is connected to the control module 400. A single scan can complete the filing of the workpiece and automatically match the preset curing process parameters. Workpieces that are not scanned and registered cannot be entered into the curing control ledger.

[0051] In one embodiment, the control module 400 includes a computer control terminal 410 and a mobile phone control terminal 420. The computer control terminal 410 is the main control terminal and is configured to preset curing parameters, environmental parameters, store information of the cured component obtained by the acquisition module 200, monitor the operating status, and control and adjust the temperature and humidity. The mobile phone control terminal 420 is communicatively connected to the computer control terminal 410 and is a remote monitoring terminal, configured to synchronously receive environmental parameters and operating data transmitted by the computer control terminal 410. The computer control terminal 410 and the mobile phone control terminal 420 are synchronously communicatively connected to the alarm module 500. The computer control terminal 410 and the mobile phone control terminal 420 are configured to adjust the set temperature of the heat exchanger and the delivery flow rate of the steam supply unit 320 when the alarm module 500 issues an alarm prompt.

[0052] The main control terminal computer control end 410 can complete core operations such as parameter preset, data storage, status monitoring and temperature and humidity control. The mobile phone control end 420 serves as a remote terminal to receive operating data synchronously. Both terminals are linked to the alarm module 500. When an abnormal alarm occurs, the heat exchange temperature and steam delivery volume can be adjusted in time, which not only ensures refined on-site management, but also supports remote real-time monitoring. The fault response and handling are efficient, effectively ensuring the smooth operation of curing work.

[0053] The computer control terminal 410 and the mobile control terminal 420 use a unified communication protocol to achieve data interaction between the computer control terminal 410 and the mobile control terminal 420. A fixed data refresh cycle is set to synchronize various operating parameters at regular intervals. At the same time, a data verification and comparison mechanism is added to automatically check and correct the information stored on both ends. With the disconnection resume caching strategy, missing data is automatically filled in after the network is restored, thereby ensuring that various monitoring data, control commands and alarm information on both ends always remain consistent in real time.

[0054] like Figure 4 As shown, the computer control terminal 410 includes a data storage unit 411, a computing unit 412, and a drive module 413. The data storage unit 411 is configured to store parameters of the cured component, environmental parameters, temperature and humidity operating data, and abnormal alarm records acquired by the acquisition module 200. The computing unit 412 is configured to compare environmental parameters with preset curing parameters and output control and warning commands. The drive module 413 is configured to control the start and stop operation of the acquisition module 200, heat exchanger, steam supply unit 320, and air circulation equalization unit 330. The data storage unit 411 retains various workpiece information, environmental operating data, and alarm records, providing complete data for parameter comparison by the computing unit 412. The computing unit 412 generates control and warning commands based on the difference between measured data and preset parameters and sends them to the drive module 413. The drive module 413 controls the start and stop operation of each functional component according to the commands. The three work together to achieve intelligent judgment and precise control of curing process parameters, while retaining complete operation data for easy process traceability and optimization.

[0055] The data storage unit 411 can completely retain workpiece parameters, environmental data and alarm records, which is convenient for traceability and review; the calculation unit 412 compares the measured parameters with the preset standards in real time and accurately issues control and early warning instructions; the drive module 413 coordinates and manages the start and stop of each functional component according to the instructions. The whole structure performs its own functions and works together to realize the automated control of the solidified process and ensure the stability and compliance of process parameters.

[0056] The computer control terminal 410 collects and stores workpiece information and environmental operation data. Relying on the computing unit 412, it compares parameters and outputs instructions. The drive module 413 regulates the heat exchanger, steam supply unit 320, air circulation equalization unit 330, and scanning terminal 210 to work together. At the same time, it interacts with humidity and temperature monitors in real time to collect on-site data. The mobile control terminal 420 receives all data synchronously and links the alarm module 500. In abnormal conditions, both ends can send adjustment instructions. The entire terminal and its functional components work together to achieve integrated intelligent management and control of the curing environment and processing flow.

[0057] In one embodiment, the mobile control terminal 420 is equipped with a dedicated control applet / APP, which communicates with the computer control terminal 410 in real time via 4G / 5G / WiFi. It allows remote viewing of workpiece ledgers, real-time temperature and humidity data, and remaining curing time, and supports remote confirmation of alarm information and viewing of historical anomaly records. This mobile terminal enables remote real-time monitoring, eliminating the limitations of on-site personnel and greatly improving the flexibility and convenience of production management.

[0058] The alarm module 500 is equipped with a multi-level alarm mechanism, including a level 1 alarm, a level 2 alarm, and a level 3 alarm. Specifically, when the environmental monitoring module 100 detects a slight deviation in temperature and humidity, the alarm module 500 issues a level 1 alarm; when the environmental monitoring module 100 detects a serious exceedance of temperature and humidity, the alarm module 500 issues a level 2 alarm; and when the alarm module 500 detects a device malfunction, it issues a level 3 alarm. Corresponding to the level 1, level 2, and level 3 alarms, the alarm module 500's alert sound increases progressively, the alert light color changes progressively, and the frequency of messages pushed by the alarm module 500 to the control module 400 increases progressively.

[0059] A three-tiered alarm mechanism is set up, which classifies alarm levels based on the degree of temperature and humidity deviation and the type of equipment failure. With progressively increasing prompt volume, differentiated warning lights, and progressively faster message push frequency, the severity of the failure can be intuitively distinguished, making it easier for staff to quickly identify abnormal situations on site, take corresponding measures, correct environmental parameters in a timely manner, troubleshoot equipment problems, and ensure the stable and orderly progress of curing operations.

[0060] The alarm module 500 receives temperature and humidity detection data and equipment operation signals transmitted by the environmental monitoring module 100 in real time. After determining the alarm level, it pushes the graded alarm information to the computer control terminal 410 and the mobile control terminal 420 simultaneously. At the same time, it receives the handling feedback signal issued by the control module 400, completes the abnormal data communication and status linkage, and realizes the data interaction of the entire process of abnormal identification, reporting and response.

[0061] The curing control system is equipped with a multi-level remote early warning mechanism. When the temperature and humidity exceed the standard or the equipment is abnormal, it can push alarm information to the mobile phone in real time. Staff can respond and deal with the problem quickly, avoid the continuous abnormality from causing a large number of products to be scrapped, and reduce production losses and production costs.

[0062] In this embodiment, the structure has a high degree of integration and automation, and can automatically complete temperature and humidity control, data recording, and anomaly warning without frequent manual intervention. It is suitable for various industrial product curing scenarios and has strong versatility and practicality.

[0063] like Figure 5 As shown, this embodiment also provides a control method for a curing control system, which includes the following steps: S1, by setting the curing parameters corresponding to different batches of workpieces through the control module 400, the parameters of the curing control system are initialized, thereby laying the foundation for differentiated control for matching and adapting process standards for different workpieces.

[0064] S2, the control acquisition module 200 acquires the workpiece information when the workpiece enters the curing space. The information includes the workpiece batch, preset curing parameters, and environmental parameters. This is beneficial for accurately binding the workpiece with the corresponding process plan and realizing the effective entry and filing of workpiece information.

[0065] S3, the control module 400 obtains the workpiece information from the acquisition module 200 and simultaneously generates a fixed ledger of the workpiece; thus clearly retaining batch data, facilitating process query, verification and subsequent traceability management.

[0066] S4. After the workpiece enters the curing space, the environmental monitoring module 100 monitors the environmental parameters in the curing space in real time; thus, it can keep track of changes in the on-site working conditions in real time and capture parameter fluctuations in a timely manner.

[0067] S5, the control module 400, summarizes and stores solidified data in real time; by uniformly collecting and storing various solidified data, it completely retains information of the entire production process, supporting parameter analysis and process review and optimization.

[0068] S6, the control alarm module 500 compares the actual environmental parameters within the curing space with the preset curing parameters in real time. When the actual environmental parameters do not conform to the preset curing parameter range or the equipment operates abnormally, it pushes an alarm notification to the control module 400 and records the abnormal data simultaneously. This step automatically compares the measured parameters with the preset parameters, immediately pushes an alarm for any abnormality, and archives the problem data to urge rapid troubleshooting and adjustments, ensuring compliant and stable production.

[0069] This control method first initializes parameters to adapt to different batches of workpieces. Upon warehousing, it collects workpiece information and generates a curing log. During operation, it monitors the internal environmental parameters in real time, summarizes and stores various curing data throughout the process, and automatically compares measured parameters with standard parameters. Any parameter deviations or equipment malfunctions trigger alarms and record abnormal information. The entire process is coherent and standardized, allowing for complete control of the curing process and facilitating timely handling of anomalies and data traceability. This control method automatically generates a curing task log, and upon workpiece removal, it scans and verifies the workpiece to confirm curing completion. The entire process is automatically recorded, eliminating the need for manual registration.

[0070] This control method can pre-initialize the batch by matching exclusive solidified parameters, scan and identify batch information upon entry into the warehouse and bind the corresponding process standards, monitor environmental parameters in real time and compare and judge with the corresponding batch threshold, issue graded alarms and adjust the working conditions when abnormalities occur, and achieve differentiated and precise control of each batch of workpieces based on the batch-specific parameter ledger.

[0071] In one embodiment, after the preset curing time is reached, the control module 400 indicates that curing is complete. When the cured workpiece leaves the curing space, the acquisition module 200 acquires information again to complete the entire process curing control and archiving. After the curing time reaches the target, the system automatically indicates that the operation is over. When the workpiece leaves the warehouse, information is collected again for verification and confirmation to supplement the complete process data information, and finally the entire production control and archiving is completed, realizing closed-loop management of the entire cycle of workpiece warehousing, processing, and outbound.
