From the current domestic situation, mechatronics technology has been gradually introduced in most fields. For example, in the fields of machining, manufacturing, CNC machine tools, robots, electronics and construction engineering, we can clearly see the great changes and achievements brought by mechatronics. Mechatronics technology has successfully changed the current situation of China's economic development, but also fully reflects the changes and trends of the international situation. If this technology is well used, it can not only make China's economic construction develop rapidly, but also greatly meet the needs of the modern social market. Taking glass manufacturing enterprises as an example, this paper analyzes the characteristics, application scope and development trend of mechatronics technology.

1 overview of Mechatronics Technology

Mechatronics technology has a long history of development. Since it was put forward in 1971, it has covered all fields of society and played a very important role. The main reason is that the technology has very obvious applicability and technical advantages, so it is valued by more and more enterprises. From the current domestic market situation, almost every enterprise is involved in mechatronics technology, and has made fruitful development achievements and technological breakthroughs. To some extent, this is the inevitable result of the development of social economy and science and technology.

2 application characteristics of Mechatronics

2.1 real time monitoring and detection

In the actual production and manufacturing, through the effective application of mechatronics technology, the development pattern and spiritual outlook of enterprises have changed greatly, which is inseparable from the advantages and characteristics of mechatronics technology. Among them, the most important thing is to realize real-time monitoring and detection in production and processing. In glass manufacturing enterprises, the production and manufacturing of glass is a very complex process, using a lot of raw materials and a large number of relevant equipment, which puts forward more stringent technical requirements for the production process. While ensuring the production efficiency and quality of glass, instruments and equipment should be effectively tested at all times to prevent accidents. The introduction of mechatronics technology has perfectly solved this problem. Through this technology, the operation state of production equipment is monitored in real time and the products are strictly detected, which not only saves a lot of production costs, but also creates more considerable economic benefits for enterprises.

2.2 improve the accuracy and speed of machine production and operation

In the glass manufacturing process, the most important facility is the glass kiln. The operation state of glass kiln is related to the condition of the whole production line. Once there is a problem, the production will stop immediately, resulting in safety accidents and other effects. This has brought serious losses to the development of glass enterprises. The introduction of mechatronics technology can effectively alleviate the occurrence of these problems. In production, by installing Mechatronics supervision and detection equipment and systems for glass kilns, molding machines and other equipment, operators can compare and analyze the supervision and detection results at all times, and correct the production design scheme and technical parameters as soon as possible if hidden dangers are found. At the same time, mechatronics technology can also alarm and prompt all operators in this environment to take improvement measures quickly. In addition, through this technology, the technical parameters of production and manufacturing can be more accurate, which can significantly improve the production rate. For example, when the temperature of glass kiln does not meet the production and processing requirements, the system will quickly make adjustments or give relevant prompts, and the operator can participate in the control, so as to ensure the smooth progress of production.

2.3 promoting energy conservation and emission reduction

In the development of enterprises, energy conservation and emission reduction has always been a very important development goal. Because the development of today's society focuses on environmental protection and green production. If it is not strictly observed, enterprises will face the crusade of the whole society. Therefore, promoting energy conservation and emission reduction has become the mainstream trend of modern social development. Taking the glass manufacturing process as an example, a large number of harmful gases will be emitted in the glass manufacturing process, including sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides. If it is not desulfurized and denitrified, it will have a great impact on the surrounding environment, especially the generation of acid rain. The use of mechatronics technology can effectively separate sulfur and nitrogen oxides in waste gas, so as to achieve the goal of production and reuse, which not only contributes to environmental protection, but also lays a solid foundation for social development.

3 application scope of Mechatronics

3.1 CNC machine tool field

CNC machine tools are not unfamiliar to people. Now most domestic enterprises have adopted this technology, mainly because it can realize the automatic assembly and processing operation of mechanical parts, which greatly improves the processing efficiency. At the same time, the automatic installation control technology also improves the accuracy of installation, reduces the manufacturing pressure of enterprises to a certain extent, and improves the quality of products to a new level. However, from the current situation, China's CNC machine tools have not reached a mature stage in the application of mechatronics, and many high-end mechatronics equipment still need to be imported from abroad, which is also one of the main reasons affecting the development of CNC machine tools in China.

3.2 automatic production line field

This is common in the field of automatic production line. Taking glass manufacturing as an example, there will be many technical links in the whole production line. Compared with the traditional production process, the application of mechatronics technology has greatly improved the speed and quality of glass production. The specific performance is as follows: the operation state of glass kiln can be monitored in real time. If any problem is found, it can be warned immediately, so as to avoid causing major economic losses or casualties. At the same time, it also plays a significant role in the transportation and handling of products. Through the mechatronics automatic handling system, it can realize the whole process of products from production to detection and then to warehouse, and liberate a large number of labor force. In terms of environmental protection and energy conservation of glass enterprises, mechatronics technology also plays an important role. Through Mechatronics flue gas filtration and purification system, sulfide and nitration in waste gas can be effectively purified, which avoids environmental pollution to some extent. In addition, through the mechatronics system, the heat energy of glass kiln can be recycled, which greatly reduces the production cost of glass and is in line with the development strategy of sustainable development and reuse of energy in China.

3.3 robot field

Mechatronics technology also plays an irreplaceable role in the field of robots. Nowadays, with the popularization and popularization of artificial intelligence and robot technology, earth shaking changes have taken place in the development of society, and the application of mechatronics technology undoubtedly adds wings to the robot field. The specific performance is as follows: in the production and manufacturing of robots, this technology can play an obvious role in assisting the production and assembly of robot accessories, and can monitor them at all times, which can effectively improve the production speed and quality of robots. At the same time, it can also use its own advantages and characteristics to reform and innovate the robot system, so that they can develop and progress together.

3.4 automotive electronics

With the progress and continuous development of society, the development speed of the automobile industry is also very rapid, and private cars are becoming more and more popular. In the field of automobile, it is applied to electromechanical integration technology - electronic instrument. By adopting mechatronics technology, the appearance and performance of automobile instruments have changed greatly, which not only improves the experience of automobile, but also increases people's travel safety. Compared with traditional instruments, mechatronics instruments realize multi-function and all-round technology, which provides very favorable conditions and foundation for the development of automobile field and increases the development and application space of mechatronics technology.

4 development trend of Mechatronics Technology

4.1 develop towards modularization

In China, there are a wide variety of automation products, and their functions also have their own characteristics. But on the whole, the lack of unified technical standards in the domestic market leads to the poor circulation of different automation products. For example, once some advanced parts are damaged, they can only be replaced by returning to the factory, which greatly increases the maintenance cost of products and brings certain difficulties to the production and manufacturing of enterprises. Based on this, the relevant national management departments should put forward unified, scientific and standardized management standards for automation products, so as to effectively restrict and control them, so as to make automation products develop in the direction of modularization and standardization, and then promote the development of mechatronics technology in China.

4.2 development towards lightweight

Compared with previous automation products, mechatronics technology gradually presents the characteristics of lightweight. This is not only reflected in the appearance design, but also its quality and operability have been greatly improved. Thanks to the technological progress of chip original devices, it has evolved from the traditional part Jack installation to the current electronic chip assembly, which makes the mechatronics products more lightweight and enhance their practicability.

4.3 develop towards environmental protection and energy conservation

With the continuous development of science and technology in China, environmental problems are becoming more and more serious. Energy conservation and environmental protection has become one of the first problems to be solved in all industries. Under the national development strategy of vigorously advocating low-carbon, environmental protection and energy conservation, mechatronics technology can "make a big fuss" in the design, demand and application of automation products, so as to fully meet the objectives and Strategies of China's modernization development.

5 Conclusion

China's mechatronics technology has been widely used. This technology has obvious technical advantages and has played a very obvious role in promoting various production, manufacturing and construction fields in China. Therefore, mechatronics technology can promote the realization of the development goal of China's modernization. Although there are still some deficiencies in the application of this technology, with the development of science and technology, mechatronics will become the mainstream technology trump card in China.
