Abstract
A heat treatment system includes a heat treatment apparatus as a component. An example of the heat treatment apparatus may be a metal heat treatment apparatus which thermally treats metal material in a chamber. In managing the temperature of a particular space for a long time, a remote control method is provided. The remote monitoring and managing of the temperature of the particular space with high reliability is provided.
Claims13
A heat treatment system comprising:
- a chamber which is separate from the outside, and of which temperature is controlled by a preset operation pattern;
- a heating device to heat the chamber;
- a cooling device to cool the chamber;
- a gas supply device to supply outer gas into the chamber;
- at least one sensor to detect a status of the chamber;
- a power supply device to supply power to the heating device, the cooling device, and an gas supply unit;
- a battery connected to the power supply device;
- a first memory where a plurality of operation pattern is stored;
- a second memory where status information measured from the senor is stored;
- a wireless communication module to receive an operation pattern selection command and an operation factor related to the operation pattern;
- and
- a controller which retrieves an operation pattern from the first memory according to the operation pattern selection command received and controls at least two out of the heating device, the cooling device, and the gas supply device, based on the operation pattern retrieved and the operation factor.

A remotely controlled heat treatment system comprising:
- A heat treatment apparatus configured to wirelessly receive an operation pattern selection command and an operation factor relevant to an operation pattern, to retrieve an operation pattern from a memory based on the operation pattern selection command, and to control the temperature of a chamber separated from the outside by at least two of a heating device, a cooling device, and an outer gas supply device according to the retrieved operation pattern and the received operation factor;
- a portable terminal where a program relevant to the heat treatment apparatus, received from the outside, to be stored and executed, and the executed program enables to select one of a plurality of stored operation patterns, for an operation factor relevant to the selected operation pattern to be inputted, and to generate and send a data queue comprising information of the selected operation pattern and the inputted operation factor outside the portable terminal;
- and
- a base station or access point configured to wirelessly deliver data between the heat treatment apparatus and the portable terminal.
1 more element
A method for remotely controlling a heat treatment system comprising;
- connecting a heat treatment apparatus with a portable terminal for wireless communication between them;
- receiving a data queue generated from the portable terminal, the data queue containing information of an operation pattern and an operation factor relevant to the operation pattern, the operation pattern being selected from a plurality of stored operation patterns in the portable terminal, and the operation factor inputted on the portable terminal;
- sending the status information of a chamber separate from the outside space, the temperature of the chamber being controlled by at least two of a heating device, a cooling device, and an outer gas supply device according to the operation pattern and the operation factor;
- and
- generating alarm signal to inform a user when the status of the chamber reaches to a preset condition.
