Abstract
A soldering iron control module applied to a soldering iron and a soldering iron stand is provided. The soldering iron stand accommodates the soldering iron which has a soldering iron bit. The soldering iron control module includes a sensing unit and a soldering iron control system. The sensing unit provides a sensing signal indicating whether the soldering iron is accommodated in the soldering iron stand. The soldering iron control system includes a tin supply unit and a control unit. The control unit determines whether the soldering iron has been accommodated in the soldering iron stand for a first time period according to the sensing signal. When the control unit determines that the soldering iron has been accommodated in the soldering iron stand for the first time period, the tin supply unit provides the tin to the soldering iron bit and the power of the soldering iron is turned off.
