Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of hygiene product equipment, and more specifically to an ultrasonic welding device for the front waistband of diapers. Background Technology
[0002] The main function of the front waistband tabs on diapers is to secure the diaper and adjust its tightness using Velcro straps at the other end of the diaper, ensuring a snug fit and preventing leaks. The front waistband tabs are typically located at the front of the diaper's waistband, with Velcro straps on each of the two back wings. When putting on the diaper, these back Velcro straps adhere to the front waistband tabs to secure and adjust the diaper. Currently, most front waistband tabs are first cut into strips and then automatically transferred to the diaper sheet. They are then bonded to the diaper sheet using adhesive or ultrasonic welding. Because adhesive bonding is not good for infants' health, ultrasonic welding is currently the most common method for securing the front waistband tabs. However, large-area ultrasonic welding can cause extensive hardening at the joint between the front waistband tab and the diaper body, affecting the infant's comfort. Therefore, ultrasonic spot welding is now the most common method for securing the diaper. However, when using disposable diapers, the Velcro straps need to be glued to the front waistband for secure wearing. Due to the limited bonding strength of point welding, the front waistband can easily detach from the diaper body when the infant is frequently active or has a lot of soiling, affecting its use. Therefore, there is a need for an ultrasonic welding device for the front waistband, capable of applying strip welding to both ends and the middle of the front waistband in addition to point welding, to enhance the bonding strength between the front waistband and the diaper body, thereby improving the diaper's durability and longevity. In light of this, this case arose. Summary of the Invention
[0003] To overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, this invention discloses an ultrasonic welding device for the front waistband of a diaper. The invention comprises an ultrasonic spot welding unit, an ultrasonic strip welding unit, and a conveying unit. The conveying unit includes an adsorption box and a perforated annular conveyor belt surrounding the adsorption box. The perforated conveyor belt moves intermittently on the adsorption box, which can be configured with three stations. The perforated conveyor belt above the first and second stations can respectively adsorb the original diaper sheet. The ultrasonic spot welding unit and the ultrasonic strip welding unit are respectively positioned above the adsorption box of the conveying unit and on the same outer side of the perforated conveyor belt, corresponding to the first and second stations respectively. The ultrasonic spot welding unit has two sets of intermittently rotatable adsorption transfer spot welding groups. Each adsorption transfer spot welding group includes an adsorption box assembly and a spot welding assembly that can slide within the central hole of the adsorption box assembly. By utilizing several round ultrasonic welding heads on the adsorption box assembly and spot welding assembly, the pre-cut front waistband tape can be adsorbed and transferred to the corresponding diaper sheet at the first work station through intermittent rotation. The front waistband tape can also be spot welded to the diaper sheet. By utilizing the strip-shaped ultrasonic welding heads set at both ends and in the middle of the pressure plate of the ultrasonic strip welding unit, the front waistband tapes applied to the diaper sheet at the corresponding secondary work station can be strip-pressed and welded, thereby enhancing the bonding force between the front waistband tape and the diaper sheet and improving the firmness and durability of the diaper when worn.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:

The pressure plate has outwardly protruding bosses at both ends and the middle below it, and each boss has a strip welding head of the second ultrasonic welder. The width of the strip welding head does not exceed 3mm. Preferably, two strip welding heads are provided on each boss. One end of the second drive cylinder is connected to the frame, and the other end is hinged to the pressure plate. The second drive cylinder can drive the pressure plate to move and can make all the strip welding heads on the pressure plate simultaneously contact the front waist patch of the corresponding diaper sheet adsorbed on the conveying unit. When the pressure plate moves, it can be guided by the second guide post and the second guide sleeve slidably connected to the second guide post. There are two second guide posts and two second guide sleeves. The two second guide posts are placed on both sides of the second drive cylinder, and one end of the second guide post is fixed to the pressure plate. The other end of the second guide post is slidably inserted into the second guide sleeve. The second guide sleeve is fixed to the flat plate of the frame.
[0011] The adsorption box includes a box body and a lid. The box body is a box-shaped component with peripheral walls and a bottom wall.

The upper surface of the upper half of the porous conveyor belt is flush with the upper surface of the lid. The area with several slots on the bottom wall of the groove corresponds to the first and second working positions of the adsorption box.
[0012] The drive roller is equipped with a drive motor, which is an adjustable speed motor and can rotate intermittently.
[0013] The first and second drive cylinders are preferably gas-liquid damping pressure cylinders with adjustable pressure.
[0014] The ultrasonic welding device for the front waistband of diapers also includes an electrical control system and a gas-liquid control unit. The electrical control system includes at least a control motherboard and a photoelectric switch for determining the stopping position when the conveying unit moves intermittently and the two sets of adsorption transfer spot welding groups rotate intermittently. The gas-liquid control unit includes an electromagnetic control valve. The first drive cylinder, the second drive cylinder, and the rotary cylinder are all connected to the gas-liquid control unit.

[0015] As can be seen from the above description, the beneficial effects of the ultrasonic welding device for the front waistband of diapers provided by the present invention are as follows: the conveying unit is provided with an adsorption box and an annular porous conveyor belt that is sleeved outside the adsorption box. The porous conveyor belt moves intermittently on the adsorption box, which can be set with three stations. The porous conveyor belt above the first station and the second station can adsorb the original diaper sheet respectively. The ultrasonic spot welding unit and the ultrasonic strip welding unit are respectively set above the adsorption box of the conveying unit and placed on the same outer side of the porous conveyor belt and corresponding to the first station and the second station respectively. The ultrasonic spot welding unit is provided with two sets of adsorption transfer spot welding groups that can rotate intermittently. The adsorption transfer spot welding group is provided with an adsorption box assembly and a spot welding assembly that can slide in the middle hole of the adsorption box assembly. This invention has three main advantages. First, it utilizes several circular ultrasonic welding heads on the adsorption box assembly and the spot welding assembly to adsorb the pre-cut front waistband tape and transfer it to the corresponding diaper sheet at the first work station through intermittent rotation. The front waistband tape can then be spot-welded onto the diaper sheet, completing the adsorption, transfer, and spot welding positioning of the front waistband tape in one step, saving space. Second, by integrating the adsorption, transfer, and spot welding positioning functions into a single component, it avoids the problem of inaccurate positioning that can occur when separate adsorption, transfer, and spot welding positioning are performed, requiring different mechanisms to work together, thus ensuring product consistency. Third, using strip-shaped ultrasonic welding heads at both ends and in the middle of the pressure plate of the ultrasonic strip welding unit, it can perform strip-pressure reinforcement welding on the front waistband tape applied to the diaper sheet at the corresponding secondary work station, thereby enhancing the bonding force between the front waistband tape and the diaper sheet and improving the diaper's durability and strength during wear. This invention is rationally designed, simple in structure, low in cost, and easy to promote. Attached Figure Description

[0041] The method of using the ultrasonic welding device for the front waistband of diapers described in this invention is as follows:
[0042] To simplify the description, we first set the first station, the second station and the non-absorption station above the adsorption box 34 as stations P1, P2 and P3 respectively. The original diaper sheet 800 at station P3 was not adsorbed.
[0043] When using this ultrasonic welding device, the electrical control system is first activated, and an external negative pressure fan provides negative pressure to the U-shaped adsorption box 1111 of the adsorption box assembly 111 and the adsorption box 34 of the conveying unit 3. The rotating cylinder 122 of the rotating frame 12 and the drive roller 31 of the conveying unit 3 are then activated, causing the two sets of adsorption transfer spot welding groups 11 of the ultrasonic spot welding unit 1 to rotate intermittently and the porous conveyor belt 33 of the conveying unit 3 to move intermittently. During the intermittent pauses of the porous conveyor belt 33, a diaper sheet 800 is placed on the porous conveyor belt 33 at station P1. The diaper is then adsorbed; after a set of adsorption transfer spot welding groups 11 rotates intermittently and stops at the top, a strip-shaped front waist patch 900 provided externally is placed on the upper surface of the U-shaped adsorption box 1111 of the adsorption transfer spot welding group 11 and adsorbed; the adsorption transfer spot welding group 11 rotates intermittently under the drive of the rotating frame 12, causing this set of adsorption transfer spot welding groups 11 with the front waist patch 900 adsorbed to rotate downwards and align with the diaper original sheet 800 adsorbed at station P1; the command to rotate downwards and adsorb the U-shaped adsorption box 1111 of the adsorption transfer spot welding group 11 with the front waist patch 900 is then executed. The electric reversing valve connected to the auxiliary box 1111 is switched to connect with the positive pressure air pump, causing the front waist patch 900 to release its adsorption and quickly be applied to the corresponding diaper sheet 800; at the same time, the first ultrasonic welder 1122 and the first drive cylinder 1123 of the spot welding assembly 112 of this set of adsorption transfer spot welding group 11 are activated to spot weld the front waist patch 900 to the corresponding diaper sheet 800; then the electric reversing valve connected to the auxiliary box 1111 is switched to connect with the negative pressure air pump; at this time, another set of adsorption transfer spot welding group 11 has rotated to the top and The next front waist tab 900 provided externally is adsorbed. After the spot welding of the front waist tab 900 at station P1 is completed, the instruction conveying unit 3 drives the porous conveyor belt 33 forward to send the diaper sheet 800 with the spot-welded front waist tab 900 at station P1 to station P2. The instruction ultrasonic bar welding unit 2 above station P2 activates its second ultrasonic welder 22 and second drive cylinder 23 to perform bar pressing welding on the front waist tab 900 on the diaper sheet 800 at station P2. At this time, the next diaper sheet 800 provided externally is placed back on station P1. Repeating the above actions, the next front waist tab 900 is applied to the next diaper sheet 800 and spot-welded and bar-pressed, thus realizing a continuous production line operation. After the bar pressing welding of the diaper sheet 800 at station P2, the porous conveyor belt 33 will send it to station P3, where it can be picked up by the external picking mechanism.
[0044] This invention utilizes several round ultrasonic welding heads on the adsorption box assembly 111 and the spot welding assembly 112 to adsorb the pre-cut front waist patch 900 and transfer it to the corresponding diaper sheet 800 at the first work station through intermittent rotation. The front waist patch 900 can also be spot welded to the diaper sheet 800. Using the strip-shaped ultrasonic welding heads respectively set at both ends and in the middle of the pressure plate 21 of the ultrasonic strip welding unit 2, the front waist patch 900 applied to the diaper sheet 800 at the corresponding secondary work station can be strip-pressed and welded, thereby enhancing the bonding force between the front waist patch and the diaper sheet 800 and improving the firmness and durability of the diaper when worn.
[0045] The above is only one specific embodiment of the present invention, but the design concept of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any non-substantial modifications made to the present invention using this concept shall be considered as infringing the protection scope of the present invention.
