[0023] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the embodiment of the utility model clearer, the technical scheme in the embodiment of the utility model will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiment of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiment is a part of the embodiment of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. The components of the embodiment of the utility model generally described and shown in the drawings here can be arranged and designed in various different configurations. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiment of the utility model provided in the drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the utility model claimed for protection, but merely represents the selected embodiment of the utility model. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work belong to the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0024] Generally speaking, the welding head of an ordinary ultrasonic welding machine cannot move in the horizontal direction, but can only move up and down. When it is started, it moves downward to contact the workpiece, causing high-frequency vibration on the surface of the workpiece, which in turn causes friction heat on the surface of the workpiece, thereby melting the surface material and pressing the workpieces together.

[0025] See also Figure 1-6 , an injection molding welding fixture, comprising a base 1, a turntable 2 and a clamp body 4;

[0026] A reducer 101 is fixedly installed at the top center of the base 1, and the input shaft of the reducer 101 is drivingly connected to the output shaft of the stepper motor 102, wherein the stepper motor 102 is fixedly installed above the base 1; the output shaft of the reducer 101 is fixedly installed at the bottom center of the turntable 2, and the stepper motor 102 drives the turntable 2 to rotate through the reducer 101;

[0027] At the same time, in order to support the edge of the turntable 2, the base 1 is also provided with a plurality of edge support structures 3 in a circular array.

[0028] The edge support structure 3 includes a first shaft seat 301 and a deep groove ball bearing 303; a first support shaft 302 is fixedly installed on the top of the first shaft seat 301, and the first support shaft 302 is horizontally arranged, and a supporting deep groove ball bearing 303 is rotatably connected to the first support shaft 302, and the outer ring of the supporting deep groove ball bearing 303 abuts the bottom of the turntable 2;

[0029] In this solution, an annular abutment groove 304 is further provided at the bottom of the turntable 2, and the outer ring of the supporting deep groove ball bearing 303 is adapted to the abutment groove 304, and the outer ring portion of the outer ring of the supporting deep groove ball bearing 303 is located in the abutment groove 304;

[0030] The clamp bodies 4 are provided in three groups and are arranged in a circular array on the top of the turntable 2. The clamp bodies 4 include a fixed clamp 401 and a movable clamp 402, wherein the fixed clamp 401 is fixedly installed on the turntable 2, and the movable clamp 402 is located outside the fixed clamp 401;

[0031] Specifically, a clamping groove 403 for clamping a workpiece is provided on one side of the fixed fixture 401 close to the movable fixture 402, and a clamping block 404 adapted to the clamping groove 403 is provided on one side of the movable fixture 402 close to the fixed fixture 401, wherein a portion of the clamping block 404 is located in the clamping groove 403. When the movable fixture 402 moves away from the fixed fixture 401, the space between the clamping groove 403 and the clamping block 404 becomes larger, but at this time the clamping block 404 will not completely escape from the clamping groove 403. When the movable fixture 402 approaches the fixed fixture 401, the space between the clamping groove 403 and the clamping block 404 decreases, and at this time the clamping block 404 and the clamping groove clamp the workpiece.

[0032] At the same time, a slide groove 405 is provided on the turntable 2 below the movable fixture 402, a slider 406 is slidably provided in the slide groove 403, and the movable fixture 402 is fixedly installed on the top of the slider 406;

[0033] The slide groove 405 is generally in the form of a rectangular groove with openings at the top and bottom, and the slider 406 is generally in the form of an I-beam.

[0034] The clamp body 4 also includes a set of trapezoidal screw mechanisms 407 for driving the movable clamp 402 to move. The advantage of using the trapezoidal screw mechanism 407 in this solution is that the trapezoidal screw can be self-locking. The self-locking principle of the trapezoidal screw is to use the characteristic that the reverse movement of the spiral pair cannot be transmitted. When the trapezoidal screw is subjected to an external force, due to the action of its own weight and friction, the spiral pair cannot rotate in the reverse direction, thereby achieving self-locking.

[0035] After the self-locking trapezoidal screw mechanism 407 pushes the movable clamp 402 to clamp the workpiece, the movable clamp 402 will not be released;

[0036] The trapezoidal screw mechanism 407 includes a trapezoidal screw 408 and a screw nut 409 which are arranged in cooperation with each other. The two ends of the trapezoidal screw 408 are rotatably mounted on the bottom of the turntable 2 through bearings and bearing seats 410 respectively, wherein a nut seat 411 is integrally formed at the bottom of the slider 406, wherein the nut seat 411 is provided with a mounting hole for mounting the screw nut 409, and the screw nut 409 is fixedly mounted in the mounting hole;

[0037] When the trapezoidal lead screw 408 rotates, it can drive the slider 406 to move forward and backward along the slide slot through the lead screw nut, thereby driving the movable clamp 402 to move;

[0038] In this embodiment, a meshing drive mechanism 5 for the action of the trapezoidal screw 408 is also included. The meshing drive mechanism 5 includes a forward-rotating rack 501, a reverse-rotating rack 502, and a driven gear 503. The driven gear 503 can mesh with the forward-rotating rack 501 and the reverse-rotating rack 502 when in contact.

[0039] The forward rack 501 and the reverse rack 502 are fixedly arranged at the top front of the base 1, and the teeth of the forward rack 501 are arranged upward, while the teeth of the reverse rack 502 are arranged downward; and the forward rack 501 and the reverse rack 502 are respectively located above and below the driven gear 503 in the vertical direction; the end of the trapezoidal lead screw 408 facing outward passes through the corresponding bearing seat 410 and is fixedly installed with the driven gear 503;

[0040] Specifically, the forward-rotating rack 501 is fixedly mounted on the top front left side of the base 1 through a first rack mounting seat 504;

[0041] Specifically, the reverse rack 502 is fixedly mounted on the top front right side of the base 1 through the second rack mounting seat 505;

[0042] When the utility model is put into use,

[0043] Step 1. In the initial state, a set of clamp bodies 4 is facing forward. At this time, the set of clamp bodies 4 is in a loose state. The workpiece is placed in the clamping groove 403, and then the turntable 2 rotates forward. As the turntable rotates, the driven gear under the turntable 2 contacts the forward rack 501. At this time, the forward rack forces the driven gear to rotate forward. The forward rotation of the driven gear drives the trapezoidal screw 408 to rotate, and then drives the movable clamp 402 to approach the fixed clamp 401, thereby clamping the workpiece;

[0044] Step 2. As the turntable 2 continues to rotate, the second group of clamping bodies 4 will approach the reversing rack 502. Since the reversing rack 502 is located on the driven gear, the reversing rack 502 will force the driven gear to rotate in the opposite direction, so that the movable clamp 402 of this group will move away from the fixed clamp 401, thereby loosening the workpiece. At this time, the worker can take the workpiece out of the clamping body 4 and then replace it with the next workpiece; then repeat steps 1-2 as the turntable 2 continues to rotate, and the cyclic loading and unloading of the workpiece can be realized.
