AI summary

A glue rewarming device includes a glue pipe, a main body, a plurality of temperature sensors, a timer, and a control terminal. Each glue pipe is configured to receive glue. The main body defines the grooves spaced apart from each other. Each groove is configured to receive one glue pipe. Each temperature sensor is in one groove and on an inner wall of the one groove. The temperature sensor is configured to sense a temperature of the glue in the glue pipe inserted into the corresponding groove. The timer is configured to record a time point when the glue pipe is placed in one groove and a time length from the time point when the glue pipe is placed in one groove to the time when the glue in the glue pipe reaches a target temperature. The control terminal is electrically connected to the timer and the temperature sensors.
