In the production process of automobile hub covers, the ultrasonic welding tool can weld different parts of the hub cover (such as the frame and decorative piece) together to achieve overall assembly and manufacturing. The design and manufacture of ultrasonic welding tooling needs to consider multiple factors, including the size and shape of the hub cover, the characteristics of the welding material, the selection and adjustment of the ultrasonic vibrator, etc. The process of designing and optimizing the tooling requires expertise and experience to ensure welding quality and efficiency while minimizing production costs.

[0029] In this embodiment, the fixing mechanism 200 is a structure that can automatically fix and clamp the left hub cover 3 when welding.
