[0022] The utility model is further described below in conjunction with embodiments and drawings.

[0023] like Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, an ultrasonic welding device for sound insulation cotton of plastic parts mainly comprises a mechanical arm 1 and a plurality of mold positioning platforms 2, and each mold positioning platform 2 is circumferentially arranged around the mechanical arm 1.

[0024] A jig 3 is placed on each jig positioning platform 2, and the jig 3 is used to position the plastic parts and the sound insulation cotton placed on the plastic parts. An ultrasonic welding head assembly 4 is installed at the end of the robot arm 1, and the ultrasonic welding head assembly 4 can weld and fix the sound insulation cotton on the plastic parts.

[0025] Specifically, the jig 3 includes a jig base plate 3a, a jig cover plate 3b and a driving device 3c, wherein the jig base plate 3a is mounted on the corresponding jig positioning platform 2 in the horizontal direction, and the jig cover plate 3b can be opened or covered on the jig base plate 3a under the drive of each driving device 3c. A contoured fetal membrane is provided on the upper surface of the jig base plate 3a, and the contoured fetal membrane is composed of a plurality of supporting protrusions 3d protruding from the upper surface of the jig base plate 3a, and the plastic parts can be positioned on each supporting protrusion 3d. A plurality of pressure heads 3e are provided on the side of the jig cover plate 3b close to the jig base plate 3a, and a plurality of welding clearance notches 3b1 are provided on the jig cover plate 3b.

[0026] Therefore, when each driving device 3c drives the mold cover plate 3b to cover the mold bottom plate 3a, each pressing head 3e can press the sound insulation cotton onto the upper surface of the plastic part placed on each supporting protrusion 3d, so that the robot arm 1 can drive the ultrasonic welding head assembly 4 to pass through each welding clearance notch 3b1 one by one to weld the sound insulation cotton onto the upper surface of the plastic part.

[0027] That is: when the plastic part is positioned on each supporting protrusion 3d, the mold cover plate 3b is covered, and the sound insulation cotton can be very closely attached to the upper surface of the plastic part through each pressing head 3e, so that the ultrasonic welding head assembly 4 can reliably pre-position the sound insulation cotton on the surface of the plastic part, greatly improving the quality of ultrasonic welding.

[0028] See also Figure 3 The outer edge of one side of the mold cover plate 3b can be rotatably mounted on the corresponding outer edge of the mold base plate 3a through at least one first hinge 3f, and the driving device 3c is a flip cylinder. The cylinder body of the flip cylinder can be rotatably mounted on the mold base plate 3a through the second hinge 3g, and the piston rod of the flip cylinder can be rotatably mounted on the mold cover plate 3b through the third hinge 3h. Through such a design, the mold cover plate 3b adopts a flipping opening and closing method, which can not only reliably cover and ensure the fit between the sound insulation cotton and the plastic parts, but also can be in a completely open state when opened, so that the welded finished product is easy to take out.

[0029] Among them, the second hinge 3g is hinged to the end of the cylinder body of the flip cylinder away from the piston rod, and the third hinge 3h is hinged to the outer end of the piston rod of the flip cylinder, so as to obtain a larger stroke and higher flexibility.

[0030] In this embodiment, two first hinged parts 3f are preferably used, so as to further improve the reliability of the hinged connection between the mold cover plate 3b and the mold bottom plate 3a.

[0031] For further information, see Figure 3 and Figure 4 At least two upwardly extending support seats 3i are installed on the tire base plate 3a. When each driving device 3c drives the tire cover plate 3b to cover the tire base plate 3a, the outer edge of the side of the tire cover plate 3b away from the first hinge 3f is supported on the upper end of each support seat 3i, thereby effectively limiting the maximum downward pressure position of the tire cover plate 3b, thereby playing a role in protecting the plastic parts.

[0032] Furthermore, a buffer pad 3j made of elastic rubber is installed on the upper end of each support seat 3i and the outer end of each pressure head 3e. The buffer pad 3j can play an excellent buffering role, thereby protecting the plastic parts and the tire cover plate 3b.

[0033] See also Figure 2 and Figure 5The ultrasonic welding head assembly 4 includes an assembly housing 4a installed at the end of the robot arm 1 and two welding head brackets 4c installed in the assembly housing 4a through corresponding slide rails 4b. The two welding head brackets 4c are both installed with ultrasonic welding heads 4d whose outer ends pass through the assembly housing 4a. The assembly housing 4a is installed with two bracket translation cylinders 4e that can drive the corresponding welding head brackets 4c to slide along the corresponding slide rails 4b. Therefore, the piston rods of the two bracket translation cylinders 4e can drive the corresponding welding head brackets 4c to slide along the slide rails 4b, thereby adjusting the position of the welding point of the ultrasonic welding head 4d, which is simple and reliable.

[0034] In this embodiment, the two ultrasonic welding heads 4d are arranged at 90 degrees, which can not only efficiently perform ultrasonic welding alternately, but also simplify the control algorithm and improve the control accuracy.

[0035] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 The tire positioning platform 2 includes a bottom frame 2a and a positioning platform top plate 2b installed on the bottom frame 2a in the horizontal direction. The positioning platform top plate 2b is provided with two rows of side edge positioning rollers 2c respectively adjacent to the outer edges on both sides of the length direction thereof and a plurality of supporting balls 2d distributed between the two rows of side edge positioning rollers 2c. The positioning platform top plate 2b is provided with at least one positioning seat 2e arranged adjacent to the outer edge of one side in the width direction thereof. The positioning platform top plate 2b is provided with at least one positioning hole 2f arranged adjacent to the outer edge of the other side in the width direction thereof. The outer edge of one side in the width direction of the tire bottom plate 3a is recessed to form positioning grooves 3a1 respectively matched with the corresponding positioning seats 2e. The tire bottom plate 3a is provided with pin through holes 3a2 corresponding to each positioning hole 2f one by one. When the tire base plate 3a is supported on each supporting ball 2d, and the outer edges on both sides of the length direction of the tire base plate 3a are respectively rollingly supported on the corresponding side edge positioning rollers 2c, the positioning seats 2e can be respectively embedded in the corresponding positioning grooves 3a1, and the locking pin 2g can pass through the pin hole 3a2 and the positioning hole 2f in sequence, so as to lock the tire base plate 3a on the positioning platform top plate 2b.

[0036] Therefore, when installing the tire jig 3, the tire jig bottom plate 3a is first rollingly supported on the corresponding side edge positioning rollers 2c, that is, one side outer edge of the tire jig bottom plate 3a in the length direction is rollingly supported on a row of side edge positioning rollers 2c, and the other side outer edge of the tire jig bottom plate 3a in the length direction is rollingly supported on another row of side edge positioning rollers 2c. At the same time, the bottom surface of the tire jig bottom plate 3a is rollingly supported on each supporting ball 2d. Then, the tire jig bottom plate 3a is pushed in the width direction so that the positioning grooves 3a1 on the one side outer edge in the width direction of the tire jig bottom plate 3a are respectively supported on the corresponding positioning seats 2e. At this time, each latch through hole 3a2 is respectively located directly above the corresponding positioning hole 2f. Finally, the locking pin 2g is used to pass through the latch through hole 3a2 and the positioning hole 2f in sequence, thereby locking the tire jig bottom plate 3a on the top plate 2b of the positioning platform, which not only ensures the positioning accuracy of the tire jig 3, but also makes the adjustment of the positioning process of the tire jig 3 very convenient and simple to operate.

[0037] See also Figure 1 A circle of safety fence 5 is arranged around the robot arm 1 and each jig positioning platform 2, that is, the safety fence 5 surrounds the robot arm 1 and each jig positioning platform 2. The safety fence 5 is provided with door openings 5a corresponding to each jig positioning platform 2, so as to facilitate the taking and placing of the jigs 3 on each jig positioning platform 2. At the same time, safety gratings 6 are installed on both sides of each door opening 5a to avoid safety accidents caused by starting the robot arm 1 when taking and placing the jigs 3. In addition, lighting lamps 7 are installed above each door opening 5a, so as to provide effective lighting for each workstation.

[0038] Furthermore, the baffles of the safety enclosure 5 are all made of transparent material to facilitate the staff to penetrate the internal situation.

[0039] Furthermore, the frame of the safety enclosure 5 and each bottom frame 2a together form an integrated frame structure, thereby greatly improving the overall structural strength.

[0040] Furthermore, two mutually parallel forklift slots 5b are provided at the bottom of the frame of the safety enclosure 5 to facilitate the overall transportation of the plastic sound insulation cotton ultrasonic welding equipment by a forklift.

[0041] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. Under the guidance of the present invention, ordinary technicians in this field can make a variety of similar expressions without violating the purpose and claims of the present invention, and such changes fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
