Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of water outlet separation technology, specifically relating to a novel ultrasonic water outlet separator. Background Technology

[0002] The ultrasonic sprue separator uses ultrasonic welding technology. When the ultrasonic welding head presses down on the plastic workpiece and vibrates at high frequency, the sprue with a small cross-section is activated by ultrasonic energy. The friction between plastic molecules is activated due to high temperature, and the stress increases, causing the flow channel at the injection molded product and the sprue to break, thus achieving the effect of sprue separation.

[0003] In existing products, after ultrasonic treatment, the parts separate from the sprue and can quickly fall off for discharge. However, due to positioning requirements, the sprue remains on the work platform, requiring an additional unloading mechanism to transfer and discharge it. This method makes it difficult to improve the production efficiency of the product. Utility Model Content
