[0002] Plastic packaging manufacturers need to preheat the plastic boxes before starting their daily production tasks. The preheating time varies from half an hour to one and a half hours depending on the amount of raw materials. Workers cannot work normally before the preheating is completed, which obviously leads to a waste of productivity. Therefore, it is necessary to design a structure that can preheat the machine before workers start their work. Utility Model Content

[0017] Explanation of reference numerals in the attached diagram: 1. Main switch; 2. Contactor; 3. Plug box; 4. Time relay; 5. Processor; 6. Auxiliary relay; 7. Optocoupler isolator; 8. Remote terminal; 9. Wireless communication module; 10. Mode switching switch. Detailed Implementation

[0018] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:

[0019] Example:

[0020] Reference Figure 1 This embodiment provides an electronic control system for preheating before power-on; it includes a main power supply circuit and a local control circuit;

[0021] In the main power supply circuit, the live wire and the neutral wire are connected to the contactor 2 (model LC1D09) through the main switch 1, and the output terminal of the contactor 2 is connected to the plastic box 3.

[0022] In the local control circuit, time relay 4 is connected in parallel between the main switch and contactor 2, and time relay 4 (model H3Y-2 0-24H) can control the on / off state of contactor 2.

[0023] It also includes a processor 5 (model ESP32-WROOM-32D) powered by an independent power supply; the GPIO pins of the processor 5 are connected to an auxiliary relay 6 via wires; the contacts of the auxiliary relay 6 are connected in parallel with the contacts of the time relay 4 and then connected to the circuit of the contactor 2; the processor 5 also has a built-in wireless communication module 9 (the ESP32-WROOM-32D has a built-in Wi-Fi / BLE dual-mode communication unit); the remote terminal 8 is connected to the processor 5 via the wireless communication module 9. In this embodiment, the remote terminal 8 is a mobile phone, which communicates with the processor based on the MQTT protocol and can directly set the preheating time requirement for the next day on the mobile APP.

[0024] The processor 5 also includes an optocoupler 7 (model PC817); the optocoupler 7 is used to detect the on / off state of the contactor 2.

[0025] It also includes a mode switching switch 10 for switching between auxiliary relay 6 or time relay 4 to control the contactor.

[0026] The mode switching switch 10 is a two-contact rotary switch (model LA38-11); the common terminal of the mode switching switch 10 is connected to the contactor 2; the two outputs are respectively connected to the contacts of the time relay 4 and the auxiliary relay 6.

[0027] When the mode switch is connected to the auxiliary relay contact, it operates in remote control mode. Upon reaching the set time, the processor sends a high-level signal to the auxiliary relay coil, closing the normally open contact and energizing the contactor coil, thus powering the heat exchange box and initiating preheating. The remote control circuit of the mode switch is not electrically connected to the local control circuit; the path is switched only through mechanical contacts. In the event of a factory network outage or a remote module failure, it can switch to local control mode to ensure continuous operation of the preheating function.

[0028] When the mode switch is connected to the time relay contact, it is in local mode. At this time, the time relay automatically closes its contact at a preset time, and the contactor coil is energized to start the rubber box.

[0029] Throughout the process, the contactor coil voltage is detected by the optocoupler isolator and the status signal is fed back to the processor. After receiving the corresponding signal, the processor pushes the "warming up" status to the mobile APP via wireless communication.

[0030] After preheating is complete, the auxiliary relay or time relay will de-energize the contactor coil, and the glue box will enter standby mode.
