Description

Under the action of applied pressure, high-frequency vibration generates friction heat to make the workpiece partially reach a plastic state, and finally weld it together. During the ultrasonic high-speed continuous welding process, the welding head in the vibrating arm is generally a flat-bottomed welding head. When the welded material flows through, relative sliding friction is generated with the flat-bottomed welding head under the welding pressure, especially when welding relatively fluffy or thick materials (high-weight materials), wrinkles, congestion and breakage of the material are likely to occur.

[0027] In order to make the above-mentioned purposes, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the specific implementation methods of the present invention are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0028] Example 1

[0029] Reference Figure 1-4 , which is the first embodiment of the utility model, provides a welding vibrating arm for ultrasonic welding with a circular welding head, the welding vibrating arm for ultrasonic welding with a circular welding head comprises a back plate 1 and a bracket 2, the back plate 1 is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the bracket 2, a processing assembly 3 is arranged on the top of the back plate 1, a vibration absorbing member 4 is arranged on the outer side of the bracket 2, the processing assembly 3 comprises a transmission member 31, the transmission member 31 comprises a first segment 311, the first segment 311 is fixedly mounted on the top of the bracket 2, a second segment 312 is arranged at one end of the back plate 1 away from the first segment 311, the first segment 311 is arranged parallel to the second segment 312, and the first segment 311 is arranged parallel to the second segment 312. A conductive slip ring 313 is provided between one section 311 and the second section 312 and at the top of the back plate 1. A welding head body 314 is installed on the side of the conductive slip ring 313 close to the first section 311. One end of the welding head body 314 protrudes from the surface of the first section 311. The cross section of the welding head body 314 is circular. The angle between the back plate 1 and the bracket 2 is ninety degrees. The highest points of the first section 311 and the second section 312 remain flush. The conductive slip ring 313 can rotate in the groove opened in the back plate 1 and drive the welding head body 314 to rotate. The welding head body 314 is different from traditional sliding friction and is rolling friction.

[0030] The transmission member 31 also includes a transmission rod 315, one end of which is connected to a conductive slip ring 313, and the other end of the transmission rod 315 is connected to the output shaft of a gas source body 316. The gas source body 316 is fixedly installed on the top of the back plate 1. The transmission rod 315 is the main part of the entire vibrating arm, and is responsible for transmitting the vibration generated by the device along the rod body. The gas source body 316 is used to apply vertical pressure to the workpiece to avoid welding misalignment.

[0031] The processing component 3 also includes a vibrator 32, which includes a power supply body 321. The power supply body 321 is fixedly installed on the end of the back plate 1 away from the bracket 2. The output shaft of the power supply body 321 is connected to the transducer 322. The power supply body 321 is a servo motor, which can change the rotation direction of the workpiece by reversing the motor. The transducer 322 is the vibration source of the entire system, which converts electrical energy into mechanical vibration.

[0032] The other end of the transducer 322 is connected to a variable amplitude rod 323, and the transducer 322 is connected to the transmission rod 315 through the variable amplitude rod 323. The design principle of the variable amplitude rod 323 is to use the resonance principle to change the amplitude through a special geometric shape (such as a dumbbell shape) to achieve amplitude amplification or reduction.

[0033] The vibration absorbing member 4 includes reinforcing ribs 41, which are distributed on both sides of the first section 311 and the second section 312. The first section 311 is connected to the second section 312 through the reinforcing ribs 41, and zero amplitude points 42 are respectively provided at both ends of the reinforcing ribs 41. The zero amplitude points 42 refer to some positions along the axis of the transmission rod 315, and there is no vibration at these positions.

[0034] Zero amplitude points 42 are also provided on both sides of the welding head body 314. The reinforcing ribs 41 are connected to the back plate 1 and the bracket 2 through the zero amplitude points 42. The zero amplitude points 42 can avoid vibration energy loss. Usually, zero amplitude points 42 are provided at the connection between the amplitude transformer 323 and the transmission rod 315, and at the connection between the transmission rod 315 and the welding head body 314. The absence of vibration at the zero amplitude points 42 can ensure the stability of welding while facilitating installation and integration by manufacturers.

[0035] The vibration absorbing member 4 also includes a rubber pad 43, which is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the back panel 1. Mounting holes 44 are arranged on the inner side of the rubber pad 43. The rubber pad 43 is made of silicone rubber material, which can isolate the vibration transmission between the fuselage and the outside world and reduce the impact of noise and vibration on the environment. The mounting hole 44 can be used to connect the back panel 1 connected to the rubber pad 43 with relevant welding equipment through screws.

[0036] When ultrasonic welding of workpieces is performed, the power source body 321, the gas source body 316 and the transmission rod 315 are separated by the conductive slip ring 313, so that the circular welding head body 314 can rotate synchronously with the material to be welded at high speed, and the traditional sliding friction method is replaced by rolling friction, which greatly eliminates the relative friction between the welding head and the material to be welded. Through the special mechanical structure design, the axial vibration generated by the transducer 322 and the amplitude transformer 323 is converted into the radial vibration of the welding head body 314, so that the entire circumferential surface of the circular welding head produces the same amplitude, and the pressure is applied vertically to the material to be welded by stretching the output shaft of the gas source body 316 to achieve the desired welding effect and avoid dislocation. The zero amplitude points 42 on both sides of the welding head body 314 and the amplitude transformer 323 where there is no vibration are used to connect the bracket 2 and the back plate 1, thereby ensuring the stability of welding. At the same time, the mounting holes 44 opened in the rubber pads 43 are fixed with screws to facilitate manufacturer installation and integration.

[0037] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the utility model rather than to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, ordinary technicians in the field should understand that the technical solution of the utility model can be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of the utility model, which should be included in the scope of the claims of the utility model.
