Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of welding facilities, and more particularly to an ultrasonic welding device for organic films. Background Technology
[0002] Organic membranes are a type of thin film material made of polymer materials, which are lightweight, flexible, and resistant to chemical corrosion. A large number of organic membranes can be recycled using plastic waste recycling technology, which not only improves resource utilization and reduces production costs, but also conforms to the concept of green and low-carbon production. In industrial production, they are often cut to specific specifications and then precisely stacked with each sheet offset by a few millimeters. Finally, they are firmly connected between layers using ultrasonic welding technology.
[0003] However, existing ultrasonic welding equipment relies heavily on traditional rigid clamping structures to fix organic membranes and other membrane materials. These rigid clamping mechanisms lack adaptability to the characteristics of membrane materials. In particular, recycled organic membranes, due to differences in plastic waste recycling processes, have slightly lower material uniformity than virgin membranes, requiring more precise force control. Existing mechanisms struggle to accurately adjust the clamping force, easily leading to excessive clamping force. Excessive clamping force not only directly causes wrinkles or damage to the membrane material but also disrupts its original flatness, affecting the positioning accuracy of the membrane material during welding and thus reducing the yield of recycled organic membrane products.

[0018] The following description is intended to disclose the invention and enable those skilled in the art to implement it. The preferred embodiments described below are merely examples, and other obvious variations will occur to those skilled in the art.
[0019] like Figures 1-10An ultrasonic welding device for organic films is shown, comprising a main body 1, a welding worktable 3 inside the main body 1, and an anti-deviation guide positioning structure between the welding worktable 3 and the main body 1. This anti-deviation guide positioning structure solves the problem of deviation caused by vibration during the welding process of organic films. The welding worktable 3 has crisscrossing vacuum adsorption channels 4 inside. A vacuum adsorption plate 23 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the welding worktable 3. Multiple adsorption holes 24 are formed through the vacuum adsorption plate 23, allowing the film material to be adsorbed and fixed through these holes. The multiple adsorption holes 24 are arranged in a rectangular array, with a diameter of 0.1-0.3 mm. The adsorption holes 24 are connected to the vacuum adsorption channels 4. Supports 19 are fixedly installed on both sides of the welding worktable 3, and multiple servo push cylinders 1 are fixedly installed on the upper end of each support 19. 5. The bracket 19 serves to support the servo push cylinder 15. The output end of the servo push cylinder 15 is fixedly installed with a connecting seat 16. The lower end of the connecting seat 16 is installed with an elastic pressure block 17. The servo push cylinder 15 can drive the elastic pressure block 17 to move down and press and fix the membrane material. The elastic pressure block 17 is made of silicone material with a Shore hardness of 30-50 degrees. The elastic pressure block 17 is equipped with a butterfly spring 32 to realize pressure self-adjustment. It is equipped with a vacuum adsorption plate 23 below. The adsorption area is controlled by PLC. This structure can avoid excessive clamping force causing wrinkles or damage to the membrane material, and at the same time ensure that the positioning accuracy of the membrane material during the welding process is ≤0.05mm. A negative pressure dust removal welding component is set between the ends of the two brackets 19. The front upper part of the main body 1 is equipped with a PLC control panel 2. The PLC control panel 2 plays a control role. The servo push cylinder 15 is electrically connected to the PLC control panel 2.
[0020] A vacuum tube 5 is fixedly connected to the corner of the welding workbench 3. The vacuum tube 5 is connected to an external vacuum pump to generate suction. A solenoid valve 6 is installed on the vacuum tube 5. The solenoid valve 6 is used to open and close the valve. The solenoid valve 6 is electrically connected to the PLC control panel 2.
[0021] The anti-deviation guide positioning structure includes positioning stops 21 extending from the upper two edges of the welding worktable 3. The positioning stops 21 serve a positioning function and are made of aluminum alloy. Laser calibration ensures parallelism with the welding head axis of the ultrasonic welding gun 11 is ≤0.03mm. A vacuum adsorption plate 23 is located between the two positioning stops 21. Guide wheels 25 are provided in front of each of the two positioning stops 21. The guide wheels 25 are made of flexible materials such as silicone to prevent scratching the film material. A miniature encoder 31 is installed inside the guide wheels 25. A base 34 is provided below the welding worktable 3, and the base 34 is fixed to the inner bottom surface of the equipment body 1. A bearing cavity 38 is formed through the center of the base 34. An adjusting seat 35 is slidably installed inside the bearing cavity 38, accommodating the adjusting seat 35. A threaded post 36 is screwed through the center of the adjusting seat 35. The threaded column 36 is rotatably connected to the inner side of the bearing cavity 38, and can drive the adjusting seat 35 to move to adjust the position of the welding worktable 3. The other end of the threaded column 36 rotates through the side of the base 34. The second servo motor 20 is fixedly installed on the side of the base 34. The output end of the second servo motor 20 is fixed to the threaded column 36. The second servo motor 20 drives the threaded column 36 to rotate. The micro encoder 31, the second servo motor 20 and the PLC control panel 2 are electrically connected. When the film material is transferred to the welding worktable 3, the micro encoder 31 built into the guide wheel 25 will monitor the moving speed and position of the film material in real time. If the film material is laterally offset, the rotation speed of the two guide wheels 25 will have a slight difference. Then the PLC system calculates the actual offset of the film material by comparing the signals of the two micro encoders 31. When the offset exceeds the set threshold of 0.05mm, the PLC will immediately trigger the correction program and control the second servo motor 20 to work to drive the welding worktable 3 to make a slight lateral movement and correct the position of the film material to the correct welding path.
[0022] A screw 30 is rotatably mounted at the center of the front end of the welding workbench 3. A pusher 22 is screwed onto the outer surface of the screw 30. Two concave slides 29 are symmetrically fixedly mounted at the front end of the welding workbench 3. The screw 30 is located between the two concave slides 29. The pusher 22 is slidably mounted inside the concave slides 29, which rotate the pusher 22. Adjustment frames 28 are rotatably mounted at both ends of the pusher 22.

By rotating screw 30, push frame 22 can be moved, thereby driving adjustment frame 28 to move, so as to push guide wheel 25 on two wheel frames 27 to move towards each other, so as to fine adjust the distance between two guide wheel 25.
[0023] The front and rear ends of the adjusting seat 35 are extended with slide bars 39, and the front and rear ends of the bearing cavity 38 are provided with slide grooves 37. The cooperation between the slide bars 39 and the slide grooves 37 enhances the guiding effect on the adjusting seat 35. The slide bars 39 are slidably installed inside the slide grooves 37.
[0024] The negative pressure dust removal welding component includes an ultrasonic welding gun 11, which is connected to an external welding machine to perform welding operations. An annular gas collection hood 14 is installed over the welding head of the ultrasonic welding gun 11, serving a covering function. A smoke exhaust pipe 12 is installed on the main body 1, connected to an external fan to generate suction for smoke extraction. The end of the smoke exhaust pipe 12 is fixedly connected to the annular gas collection hood 14. A filter 33 is fixedly installed inside the smoke exhaust pipe 12, serving a filtering function. A servo slide 18 is fixedly installed between the ends of two supports 19, and a support seat 8 is fixedly installed on the slide of the servo slide 18. The servo slide 18 functions to change the left and right position of the ultrasonic welding gun 11. A lifting frame 10 is slidably installed at the front end of the support seat 8. The ultrasonic welding gun 11 is fixed to the lifting frame 10 and serves to support the lifting frame 10.

The table surface is covered with adsorption holes 24. It is linked to the PLC control panel 2 through a solenoid valve 6. A ring-shaped gas collection hood 14 is arranged around the welding head of the ultrasonic welding gun 11. The gas collection hood is connected to the exhaust pipe 12 of the main body of the equipment 1. The pipe integrates a small filter 33. The vacuum adsorption and exhaust system is linked with the equipment PLC to realize the automated process of adsorption and positioning before welding and exhaust at the same time. This solves the problem that the organic film may attract dust or be mispositioned due to electrostatic adsorption before welding, and the smoke and trace debris generated during the welding process may affect the working environment and product cleanliness.
[0025] A threaded rod 13 is screwed through the middle of the lifting frame 10. The two ends of the threaded rod 13 are rotatably connected to the bearing seat 8. The threaded rod 13 can drive the lifting frame 10 to move up and down, thereby driving the ultrasonic welding gun 11 to rise and fall.
