Abstract
Provided is a resin curing device capable of improving work efficiency when curing a liquid resin. A controller (2) of a resin curing device (1) controls opening degrees of three valves (51 to 53) so that a gas flow passage becomes a circulation passage (40) when an execution condition of an operation of feeding air to a curing furnace (10) is satisfied, and controls the opening degrees of the three valves (51 to 53) so that the gas flow passage becomes a bypass passage (41) when the execution condition is not satisfied (STEPS 30 to 41).
Claims5
A resin curing device for curing a liquid resin attached to an object in a predetermined curing temperature atmosphere, the resin curing device comprising:
- a heater for heating gas;
- a curing furnace that allows the object to be taken in and out of the furnace via an opening;
- a blower for blowing the gas;
- a circulation passage extending among the blower, the heater, and the curing furnace so as to allow the gas to circulate among the blower, the heater, and the curing furnace;
- a bypass passage connected to the circulation passage so as to bypass the curing furnace;
- a plurality of valves capable of switching the gas flow passage between the circulation passage and the bypass passage;
- and
- a flow passage controller that is configured to control the plurality of valves so that the gas flow passage becomes the circulation passage when an execution condition of an operation of feeding the gas to the curing furnace is satisfied, and to control the plurality of valves so that the gas flow passage becomes the bypass passage when the execution condition is not satisfied,
- wherein each of the valves is independently controlled by the flow passage controller.
