These terms are only used to distinguish elements of the same type from one another. For example, without departing from the scope of this disclosure, a first element may also be referred to as a second element, and similarly, a second element may also be referred to as a first element.

[0033] Reference Figures 1 to 3According to an embodiment of the present invention, a toner cartridge welding device includes a housing 100, a baffle 200, a first identification module 300, a locking assembly 400, a placement platform 500, an ultrasonic welding assembly 600, a biometric acquisition module 800, a button module 700, and a control module 900. The housing 100 has a window 110 on its side. The first side of the baffle 200 is rotatably connected to the first side of the window 110, and the second side of the baffle 200 has a locking part 210. The first identification module 300 is disposed on the side wall of the window 110 and is used to identify whether the baffle 200 covers the window 110. The locking assembly 400 is disposed on the side wall of the window 110 and is locked to the window 110. The baffle 200 is positioned to restrict the baffle 200 from moving away from the window 110. The placement platform 500 is located inside the housing 100, and the upper surface of the placement platform 500 is provided with a placement groove 510 that matches the workpiece to be welded. The ultrasonic welding assembly 600 is located inside the housing 100 and positioned above the placement platform 500. The biometric acquisition module 800 is located on the outer wall of the housing 100. The button module 700 is located on the outer wall of the housing 100. The control module 900 is electrically connected to the first identification module 300, the locking assembly 400, the ultrasonic welding assembly 600, the biometric acquisition module 800, and the button module 700.

[0034] In this embodiment, the upper side of the baffle 200 is rotatably connected to the upper side of the window 110. When the locking assembly 400 does not restrict the baffle 200, the baffle 200 can be rotated around the upper side by pushing it, and then the workpiece to be welded can be placed there for the ultrasonic welding assembly 600 to weld. When the baffle 200 is released, the baffle 200 will automatically return to its original position due to its own gravity to block the window 110. In addition, the baffle 200 can also be rotatably connected to the left side of the window 110, or the right side of the baffle 200 can be rotatably connected to the right side of the window 110, or the lower side of the baffle 200 can be rotatably connected to the lower side of the window 110. At the same time, it can be used with a return elastic element, such as a torsion spring or a cylinder. When no external force is applied to the baffle 200, the baffle 200 will automatically reset, that is, return to the position of the window 110 to block the window 110.

[0035] By verifying permissions through biometric signals and the identification signal from the first identification module 300, it is confirmed that the operator has the necessary permissions. At the same time, it is confirmed that the baffle 200 is blocking the window 110. Only after receiving the start signal from the button module 700 can the ultrasonic welding assembly 600 be started. This dual protection of biometric and identification signals ensures that ultrasonic welding is performed in a closed space. When the ultrasonic welding assembly 600 is working, it can avoid causing harm to the human body, further improving reliability and safety.

[0036] In some embodiments of the present invention, the first identification module 300 includes one of an infrared detection unit, a pressure detection unit, an ultrasonic detection unit, and a Hall effect detection unit electrically connected to the control module 900. Specifically, the first identification module 300 can select a suitable sensor module to detect the baffle 200 according to specific needs, and thus determine whether the baffle 200 is at the position of the window 110.

[0037] In some embodiments of the present invention, the ultrasonic welding assembly 600 includes a lifting drive module 610; the lifting drive module 610 is disposed on the housing 100 and electrically connected to the control module 900; the ultrasonic generator 620 is disposed on the drive end of the lifting drive module 610 and electrically connected to the control module 900; the welding head 630 is movably connected to the ultrasonic generator 620 and located above the placement platform 500; wherein, the lifting drive module 610 drives the ultrasonic generator 620 to move the welding head 630 closer to or away from the placement platform 500. In this embodiment, the parts to be welded are two plastic parts that need to be welded together. When a welding signal is received, the control module 900 will start the ultrasonic generator and simultaneously drive the lifting drive module 610 to make the welding head 630 contact the parts to be welded. At the same time, the control module 900 will control the ultrasonic generator 620 to start working. When the ultrasonic waves act on the thermoplastic plastic contact surface, they will generate high-frequency vibrations of tens of thousands of times per second. The welding head 630 and the contact surface of the parts to be welded will generate a large amount of heat through high-frequency friction. Since plastic has poor thermal conductivity, the heat will cause the two plastic parts to mix and form strong molecular chains, thus fixing the two plastic parts together.

[0038] In some embodiments of the present invention, the locking assembly 400 includes one of an electromagnet module, an electric push rod, or an electronic lock that is electrically connected to the control module 900. When the locking assembly 400 uses an electromagnet module, the locking part 210 can be made of a material that can be magnetically attracted, such as at least one of iron, nickel, or cobalt. When the electromagnet module is energized, it can attract the locking part 210, preventing the baffle 200 from detaching from the window 110. It is worth noting that the locking part 210 can also be equipped with a strong magnet. When the electromagnet module is not energized, the locking part 210 will be firmly attracted to the armature of the electromagnet module. When the electromagnet module is energized, the electromagnet module and the locking part 210 will repel each other due to the opposite poles, causing the baffle 200 to detach from the window 110. At this time, the baffle 200 can be pushed away from the window 110. When the locking assembly 400 uses an electric push rod or an electronic lock, the locking part 210 can be a keyhole. The electric push rod or the lock cylinder of the electronic lock can be inserted into the keyhole, thereby preventing the baffle 200 from detaching from the window 110. At the same time, the working state of the locking assembly 400 is controlled by the control module 900.

[0039] In some embodiments of the present invention, the button module 700 includes a start button 710 and an emergency stop button 720, which are electrically connected to the control module 900 respectively. When the start button 710 signal is received, and simultaneously the preceding biosignal recognition is successful and the first recognition module 300 recognizes the baffle 200 signal, or the biosignal recognition is successful, the first recognition module 300 recognizes the baffle 200 signal, and the second recognition module 1000 recognizes the signal of the workpiece to be welded, the control module 900 will start the ultrasonic welding module to perform welding. When any of the signals in the corresponding embodiment is missing, even if the control module 900 receives the start button 710 signal, the control module 900 will not control the ultrasonic welding module to perform welding. The start button 710 can be a jog button, which is only activated when pressed by external force. When the control module 900 receives the emergency stop button 720, it will immediately control the ultrasonic welding module to stop working and release the locking state of the locking component 400, so that the baffle 200 is in a free state, that is, it can push the baffle 200 away from the window 110. Therefore, for safety, the emergency stop button 720 is a normally open button. Pressing it once will change its state. That is, after being pressed, the emergency stop button 720 is in a continuously activated state and needs to be pressed again to deactivate it.

[0040] Reference Figure 4In some embodiments of the present invention, a second identification module 1000 is further included within the placement slot 510, and the second identification module 1000 is electrically connected to the control module 900. Adding the second identification module 1000 provides a triple safety measure, preventing the ultrasonic welding assembly 600 from activating even if the operator forgets to place the workpiece, thus avoiding unnecessary work by the ultrasonic welding assembly 600 and further improving reliability.

[0041] In some embodiments of the present invention, the second identification module 1000 includes one of an infrared detection unit, a pressure detection unit, and an ultrasonic detection unit electrically connected to the control module 900. A suitable sensor can be selected according to specific circumstances to achieve the purpose of detecting whether a workpiece to be welded is placed in the placement slot 510, thereby improving reliability.

[0042] Reference Figures 5 to 7 In some embodiments of the present invention, a first pushing component 1100 is further included. A first side of the placement platform 500 is rotatably connected to the housing 100, and a driving end of the first pushing component 1100 is hinged to a second side of the placement platform 500 to drive the placement slot 510 closer to or further away from the window 110. In conjunction with the first pushing component 1100, when the first identification module 300 detects that the baffle 200 has left the window 110, the control module 900 controls the first pushing component 1100 to move, allowing the placement slot 510 to face the window 110. This facilitates easy removal or placement of the workpiece by the operator, improving convenience and welding efficiency.

[0043] In some embodiments of the present invention, the first pushing component 1100 includes one of a hydraulic rod, a telescopic cylinder, or an electric push rod electrically connected to the control module 900. Depending on the specific circumstances, a suitable driving component can be selected as the first pushing component 1100, thereby pushing the placement platform 500 to rotate around the first side. This allows the placement slot 510 to move closer to or further away from the window 110, making it easier for operators to easily remove the welded parts or place the parts to be welded, further improving convenience and welding efficiency.

[0044] Reference Figures 8 to 10In some embodiments of the present invention, a second pushing component 1200 is further included. The second pushing component 1200 is disposed on one side of the placement platform 500. The driving end of the second pushing component 1200 is used to push one side of the workpiece to be welded, so as to drive one side of the workpiece to be welded to disengage from the placement groove 510. By disposing of the second pushing component 1200 next to the placement platform 500, the workpiece to be welded can be driven to disengage from the placement groove 510 by the second pushing component 1200 without the placement platform 500 being stationary. This also makes it easier for the operator to easily remove the workpiece after welding, improving convenience and welding efficiency.

[0045] Specifically, the second pushing assembly 1200 may include one of a hydraulic rod, a telescopic cylinder, or an electric push rod electrically connected to the control module 900. A suitable driving component can be selected as the second pushing assembly 1200 depending on the specific circumstances. The second pushing assembly 1200 also includes a pushing part 1210. One side of the pushing part 1210 is rotatably connected to one side of the placement table 500, while the side of the pushing part 1210 away from the placement table 500 is hinged to the driving end of the driving component. When the driving component drives the pushing part 1210, the pushing part 1210 will rotate around the rotatably connected position. This allows the workpiece to be welded, located at the edge of the placement groove 510, to be pushed by the pushing part 1210, thus detaching the workpiece from the placement groove 510. This also facilitates easy removal of the workpiece by the operator after welding, improving convenience and welding efficiency.

[0046] In some embodiments of the present invention, the biometric acquisition module 800 includes a biometric chip and a biometric identifier; the biometric identifier is used to acquire biometric signals of a living target object; the biometric chip is used to identify the biometric signals acquired by the biometric identifier using a biometric algorithm to obtain a biometric result; the control module 900 is used to control the biometric identifier to acquire biometric signals and to interact with the biometric chip. The memory unit of the control module 900 stores the original biometric image signal and / or the biometric result from the biometric chip, and the biometric algorithm includes at least one of a vein recognition algorithm, fingerprint recognition algorithm, iris recognition algorithm, retinal recognition algorithm, face recognition algorithm, or voiceprint recognition algorithm. Depending on the corresponding recognition algorithm, the biometric identifier can employ at least one of a specialized vein identifier, fingerprint identifier, iris identifier, retinal identifier, face identifier, and voiceprint identifier to identify the corresponding biometric signal. This allows the system to determine whether the operator is a registered person; if not, the locking component 400 will be prevented from opening. It should be noted that biometric algorithms can be used to identify biometric signals using conventional recognition algorithms that are appropriate for those skilled in the art, and will not be elaborated on in detail here.

[0047] Furthermore, to achieve real-time monitoring of operators and determine whether the current workstation has been changed, when using iris recognition, retinal recognition, or facial recognition, the corresponding biometric recognition device can be set in the corresponding position. For example, if it can be pointed at the eyes or face in real time, real-time monitoring can be achieved. When using vein recognition or fingerprint recognition, the vein recognition or fingerprint recognition device can be combined with the start button 710 of the button module 700. That is, each time the operator presses the start button 710, the corresponding recognition device on the start button 710 will simultaneously recognize the corresponding vein or fingerprint. When starting, it can continue to monitor whether the current operator is still an authorized person, thereby preventing other unrelated personnel from pressing the start button 710 and starting the ultrasonic welding assembly 600 for welding, further improving the reliability of welding.

[0048] Before startup, the baffle 200 is in the position of window 110, that is, blocking window 110. At this time, the locking component 400 will restrict the baffle 200 so that the baffle 200 cannot move away from window 110. The memory unit of the control module 900 has pre-stored information, including biometric information and permission records related to the registered operator. The monitoring and control methods of five different embodiments will be explained in turn below.

[0049] Example 1:

[0050] A monitoring and control method for toner cartridge welding, applied to a toner cartridge welding device, with reference to... Figures 1 to 3 It includes at least a housing 100, a baffle 200, a first identification module 300, a locking assembly 400, a placement platform 500, an ultrasonic welding assembly 600, a button module 700, a biometric acquisition module 800, and a control module 900; the specific steps are as follows:

[0051] Step S110: The biometric acquisition module 800 acquires the operator's biometric signal and matches it with the pre-stored information in the background. If the match is successful, the control module 900 will control the locking component 400 to no longer restrict the baffle 200, and the baffle 200 will be in a free state. At this time, as long as the baffle 200 is pushed, the baffle 200 will move away from the window 110. If the match is not successful, the locking component 400 will continue to restrict the baffle 200, so that the baffle 200 cannot move away from the window 110.

[0052] Step S210: After successful matching, the baffle 200 can be pushed open and the workpiece to be welded can be placed into the placement slot 510.

[0053] Step S310: After placing the workpiece to be welded, the operator removes their hand from outside the housing 100, and the baffle 200 resets. At this time, the button module 700 is pressed to trigger the start signal. Simultaneously, the first identification module 300 identifies whether the baffle 200 has been accurately reset. After simultaneously confirming that the baffle 200 has been reset and receiving the start signal from the button module 700, the control module 900 sequentially starts the locking assembly 400 and the ultrasonic welding assembly 600. The locking assembly 400 simultaneously restricts the baffle 200 from leaving the window 110, and the ultrasonic welding assembly 600 welds the workpiece to be welded.

[0054] Step S410: After welding is completed, the control module 900 will control the ultrasonic welding component 600 to reset, and at the same time make the locking component 400 no longer restrict the baffle 200. The operator can then push open the baffle 200 and remove the welded part.

[0055] At this point, steps S110, S210, S310, and S410 can be repeated to complete the welding of each component to be welded.

[0056] Example 2:

[0057] A monitoring and control method for toner cartridge welding, applied to a toner cartridge welding device, with reference to... Figures 1 to 3 It includes at least a housing 100, a baffle 200, a first identification module 300, a locking assembly 400, a placement platform 500, an ultrasonic welding assembly 600, a button module 700, a biometric acquisition module 800, and a control module 900; the specific steps are as follows:

[0058] Step S120: The biometric signal of the operator is collected by the biometric acquisition module 800 and matched with the pre-stored information in the background. If the match is successful, the operator information is used as the start judgment condition. At the same time, the control module 900 will control the locking component 400 to no longer restrict the baffle 200. The baffle 200 is in a free state. At this time, as long as the baffle 200 is pushed, the baffle 200 will move away from the window 110. If there is no match, the locking component 400 will keep restricting the baffle 200 so that the baffle 200 cannot move away from the window 110.

[0059] After successful matching in step S220, the baffle 200 can be pushed open and the workpiece to be welded can be placed in the placement slot 510. After the second identification module 1000 identifies the signal of the workpiece to be welded, the control module 900 controls the first pushing component 1100 to place the placement table 500 horizontally, with the placement slot 510 facing the welding head 630 of the ultrasonic welding component 600.

[0060] Step S320: After placing the workpiece to be welded, the operator removes their hand from outside the box 100, and the baffle 200 resets. At this time, the button module 700 is pressed to trigger the start signal. Simultaneously, the biometric acquisition module 800 will collect the current operator's biometric signal again to determine whether the current biometric signal matches the start judgment condition. The first identification module 300 will identify whether the baffle 200 is accurately reset. After simultaneously determining that the current biometric signal matches the start judgment condition, confirming that the baffle 200 is reset, and receiving the start signal from the button module 700, the control module 900 will sequentially start the locking component 400 and the ultrasonic welding component 600. The locking component 400 will simultaneously restrict the baffle 200 from leaving the window 110, and the ultrasonic welding component 600 will weld the workpiece to be welded.

[0061] Step S420: After welding is completed, the control module 900 will control the ultrasonic welding component 600 to reset, and at the same time, the locking component 400 will no longer restrict the baffle 200. The operator can then push open the baffle 200 and remove the welded part.

[0062] At this point, steps S120, S220, S320, and S420 can be repeated to complete the welding of each component to be welded.

[0063] It is worth noting that in step S320, the execution of "the biometric acquisition module 800 will again collect the current operator's biometric signal to determine whether the current biometric signal matches the start-up judgment condition" can prevent erroneous operation by operators who are not currently at the workstation. For example, if operator A at workstation A has already executed steps S120 and S220, but operator A leaves workstation A temporarily, and operator B at workstation B goes to workstation A, if there is no start-up judgment condition, since operator B is also an authorized person, the biometric acquisition module 800 at workstation A will collect operator B's biometric signal, and the control module 900 will also determine that the match is successful. At the same time, if all other conditions at workstation B are met, the ultrasound... Welding assembly 600 will perform welding. If operator B does not remove the welded part and does not inform operator A, operator A may restart the ultrasonic welding assembly 600 at station A when returning to station A, which could damage the part and increase production costs. Therefore, by executing "the biometric acquisition module 800 will re-acquire the current operator's biometric signal to determine whether the current biometric signal matches the start-up judgment condition" in step S320, it is possible to restrict each operator at each station to complete all welding steps individually before switching operators. This avoids the above situation, further improves reliability, and prevents an increase in production costs.

[0064] Example 3:

[0065] A monitoring and control method for toner cartridge welding, applied to a toner cartridge welding device, with reference to... Figure 4 It includes at least a housing 100, a baffle 200, a first identification module 300, a locking assembly 400, a placement platform 500, an ultrasonic welding assembly 600, a button module 700, a biometric acquisition module 800, a control module 900, and a second identification module 1000; the specific steps are as follows:

[0066] Step S130: The biometric acquisition module 800 collects the operator's biometric signals to form operator information, and matches it with the pre-stored information in the background. If the match is successful, the operator information is used as the start judgment condition. At the same time, the control module 900 controls the locking component 400 to no longer restrict the baffle 200. The baffle 200 is in a free state. At this time, as long as the baffle 200 is pushed, the baffle 200 will move away from the window 110. If there is no match, the locking component 400 will keep restricting the baffle 200 so that the baffle 200 cannot move away from the window 110.

[0067] Step S230: After successful matching, the baffle 200 can be pushed open and the workpiece to be welded can be placed into the placement slot 510.

[0068] Step S330: After placing the workpiece to be welded, remove your hand from the box 100 and reset the baffle 200. At this time, press the button module 700 to trigger the start signal. Simultaneously, the biometric acquisition module 800 will collect the current operator's biometric signal again to determine whether the current biometric signal matches the start judgment condition. The first identification module 300 will identify whether the baffle 200 is accurately reset. The second identification module 1000 will also identify whether the current placement slot 510 has a workpiece to be welded. After simultaneously determining that the start judgment condition is matched, the baffle 200 is reset, the workpiece to be welded is in place, and the start signal from the button module 700 is received, the control module 900 will sequentially activate the locking component 400 and the ultrasonic welding component 600. The locking component 400 will restrict the baffle 200 from leaving the window 110, and the ultrasonic welding component 600 will weld the workpiece to be welded.

[0069] Step S430: After welding is completed, the control module 900 will control the ultrasonic welding component 600 to reset, and at the same time make the locking component 400 no longer restrict the baffle 200. The operator can then push open the baffle 200 and remove the welded part.

[0070] At this point, steps S130, S230, S330, and S430 can be repeated to complete the welding of each component to be welded.

[0071] Example 4:

[0072] A monitoring and control method for toner cartridge welding, applied to a toner cartridge welding device, with reference to... Figures 5 to 7 It includes at least a housing 100, a baffle 200, a first identification module 300, a locking assembly 400, a placement platform 500, an ultrasonic welding assembly 600, a button module 700, a biometric acquisition module 800, a control module 900, a second identification module 1000, and a first pushing assembly 1100; the specific steps are as follows:

[0073] Step S140: The biometric acquisition module 800 acquires the operator's biometric signals to form operator information, and matches it with the pre-stored information in the background. If the match is successful, the operator information is used as the start judgment condition. At the same time, the control module 900 controls the locking component 400 to no longer restrict the baffle 200, and the baffle 200 is in a free state. At this time, as long as the baffle 200 is pushed, the baffle 200 will move away from the window 110. If there is no match, the locking component 400 will keep restricting the baffle 200, so that the baffle 200 cannot move away from the window 110.

[0074] After successful matching in step S240, the baffle 200 can be pushed open and the workpiece to be welded can be placed in the placement slot 510. After the second identification module 1000 identifies the signal of the workpiece to be welded, the control module 900 controls the first pushing component 1100 to place the placement table 500 horizontally, with the placement slot 510 facing the welding head 630 of the ultrasonic welding component 600.

[0075] Step S340: After placing the workpiece to be welded, the operator's hand is removed from the box 100, and the baffle 200 is reset. At this time, the button module 700 is pressed to trigger the start signal. At the same time, the biometric acquisition module 800 will collect the current operator's biometric signal again to determine whether the current biometric signal matches the start judgment condition. The first identification module 300 will identify whether the baffle 200 is accurately reset. After simultaneously determining that the current biometric signal matches the start judgment condition, the baffle 200 is reset, and the start signal from the button module 700 is received, the control module 900 will sequentially start the locking component 400 and the ultrasonic welding component 600. The locking component 400 will restrict the baffle 200 from leaving the window 110, and the ultrasonic welding component 600 will weld the workpiece to be welded.

[0076] Step S440: After welding is completed, the control module 900 will control the ultrasonic welding component 600 to reset, and at the same time, the locking component 400 will no longer restrict the baffle 200, so that the operator can push the baffle 200 open.

[0077] Step S540: When the first identification module 300 identifies that the baffle 200 has left the window 110, the control module 900 will control the first pushing component 1100 to start, so as to drive the placement stage 500 to rotate, so that the placement slot 510 faces the window 110, so that the operator can take away the part to be welded after welding.

[0078] At this point, steps S140, S240, S340, S440, and S540 can be repeated to complete the welding of each component to be welded.

[0079] It is worth noting that in step S340, the execution of "the biometric acquisition module 800 will again collect the current operator's biometric signal to determine whether the current biometric signal matches the start-up judgment condition" can prevent erroneous operation by operators who are not currently at the workstation. For example, if operator A at workstation A has already executed steps S140 and S240, but operator A leaves workstation A temporarily, and operator B at workstation B goes to workstation A, if there is no start-up judgment condition, since operator B is also an authorized person, the biometric acquisition module 800 at workstation A will collect operator B's biometric signal, and the control module 900 will also determine that the match is successful. At the same time, if all other conditions at workstation B are met, the ultrasound... Welding assembly 600 will perform welding. If operator B does not remove the welded part or inform operator A, operator A may restart the ultrasonic welding assembly 600 at station A when returning to station A, which could damage the part and increase production costs. Therefore, by executing "the biometric acquisition module 800 will re-acquire the current operator's biometric signal to determine if the current biometric signal matches the start-up criteria" in step S340, each operator at each station can be required to complete all welding steps individually before being replaced. This avoids the above situation, further improves reliability, and prevents increased production costs.

[0080] Example 5:

[0081] A monitoring and control method for toner cartridge welding, applied to a toner cartridge welding device, with reference to... Figures 5 to 7 It includes at least a housing 100, a baffle 200, a first identification module 300, a locking assembly 400, a placement platform 500, an ultrasonic welding assembly 600, a button module 700, a biometric acquisition module 800, a control module 900, a second identification module 1000, and a first pushing assembly 1100; the specific steps are as follows:

[0082] Step S150: The biometric signal of the operator is collected by the biometric acquisition module 800 and matched with the pre-stored information in the background. If the match is successful, the control module 900 will control the locking component 400 to no longer restrict the baffle 200. The baffle 200 is in a free state. At this time, as long as the baffle 200 is pushed, the baffle 200 will move away from the window 110. If the match is not successful, the locking component 400 will continue to restrict the baffle 200, so that the baffle 200 cannot move away from the window 110.

[0083] After successful matching in step S250, the baffle 200 can be pushed open and the workpiece to be welded can be placed in the placement slot 510. After the second identification module 1000 identifies the signal of the workpiece to be welded, the control module 900 controls the first pushing component 1100 to place the placement table 500 horizontally, with the placement slot 510 facing the welding head 630 of the ultrasonic welding component 600.

[0084] Step S350: After placing the workpiece to be welded, the operator removes their hand from the box 100, and the baffle 200 resets. At this time, the button module 700 is pressed to trigger the start signal. Simultaneously, the first identification module 300 identifies whether the baffle 200 has been accurately reset, and the second identification module 1000 identifies whether the current placement slot 510 has a workpiece to be welded. After simultaneously confirming that the baffle 200 is reset, the workpiece to be welded is in place, and receiving the start signal from the button module 700, the control module 900 will sequentially activate the locking assembly 400 and the ultrasonic welding assembly 600. The locking assembly 400 will simultaneously restrict the baffle 200 from leaving the window 110, and the ultrasonic welding assembly 600 will weld the workpiece to be welded.

[0085] Step S450: After welding is completed, the control module 900 will control the ultrasonic welding component 600 to reset, and at the same time, the locking component 400 will no longer restrict the baffle 200, so that the operator can push the baffle 200 open.

[0086] Step S550: When the first identification module 300 identifies that the baffle 200 has left the window 110, the control module 900 will control the first pushing component 1100 to start, so as to drive the placement stage 500 to rotate, so that the placement slot 510 faces the window 110, so that the operator can take away the part to be welded after welding.

[0087] At this point, steps S150, S250, S350, S450, and S550 can be repeated to complete the welding of each component to be welded.

[0088] In some embodiments of the present invention, the control module 900 includes at least a processor unit and a memory unit. The specific selection of the processor unit can be a microcontroller, a DSP digital signal processor, or other commonly used industrial controllers, depending on the requirements. The memory unit stores the program corresponding to the monitoring and control method mentioned in any of the above embodiments, thereby enabling dual-limitation control or multi-limitation control of the ultrasonic welding assembly 600.

[0089] According to embodiments of the present invention, by such a configuration, at least the following effects can be achieved: by utilizing the biometric acquisition module 800 and the locking component 400, it is possible to restrict authorized operators from activating the ultrasonic welding component 600, thereby preventing unauthorized personnel from activating the ultrasonic welding component 600, thus improving reliability and security. In conjunction with the first identification module 300, it is possible to detect in real time whether the baffle 200 is on the window 110. If the baffle 200 is not reset to block the window 110, the ultrasonic welding component 600 will not be activated, ensuring that the ultrasonic welding component is isolated from the outside world when it is activated, further enhancing security.
