Thereby, a long time is required to perform the fusing process .

Abstract

L'invention concerne un appareil de raccordement à fusion comprenant une unité de siège (100) permettant d'asseoir des matériaux objectifs à fusionner, une unité de chauffage (200) comprenant une plaque de chauffage (210) afin d'émettre de la chaleur, un dispositif d'alimentation (300) de l'unité de siège permettant d'alimenter l'unité de siège le long d'un trajet prédéterminé, un dispositif d'alimentation (400) de la plaque de chauffage permettant d'alimenter la plaque de chauffage, de manière que la chaleur de la plaque de chauffage soit appliquée sur les matériaux objectifs assis sur l'unité de siège, quand celle-ci est déplacée dans une position prédéterminée, ainsi qu'une unité de commande (500) permettant de commander le fonctionnement de l'unité de chauffage, du dispositif d'alimentation de l'unité de siège et du dispositif d'alimentation de la plaque de chauffage. L'appareil de raccordement à fusion empêche un ouvrier de se brûler à cause des tiges de chauffage, refroidit les matériaux objectifs fusionnés de manière à raccourcir le temps de travail et automatise un processus de travail par commande du temps et de la température de fusion.
