Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of automotive parts manufacturing technology, and relates to an ultrasonic welding device, specifically an ultrasonic welding device for welding small trim strips to the welding area of the rear panel of the air vent. Background Technology
[0002] When assembling multiple automotive plastic parts, it is sometimes necessary to weld small plastic parts to the welding areas of other parts to ensure precise gap dimensions between structural components and avoid affecting the overall surface finish of the product assembly. Traditional automotive plastic parts welding methods often employ hot riveting and hot plate welding. Hot riveting typically requires large riveting holes in the plastic part, which can severely impact the appearance and overall structural strength of small-sized parts. Hot plate welding requires a large contact area to transfer heat, which may be impossible due to space constraints for small-sized parts. When welding small-sized plastic parts using traditional welding methods, there is insufficient space to add positioning structures, and it is difficult to meet appearance requirements, making the aforementioned welding processes unsuitable. Therefore, it is necessary to propose a welding equipment suitable for small-sized automotive plastic parts. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide an ultrasonic welding device, specifically an ultrasonic welding device for welding small decorative strips to the welding area on the rear panel of an air vent. Its core lies in the improved design of the ultrasonic welding head, enabling it to not only perform ultrasonic welding but also position small plastic parts. This addresses the problems of traditional welding methods, which lack space for adding positioning structures and struggle to meet aesthetic requirements when welding small plastic parts.
