Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ultrasonic welding technology, and specifically to a welding device for complex structural products. Background Technology

[0002] Ultrasonic welding is a primary welding process for automotive interior parts. In ultrasonic welding, the hot riveting head plays a crucial role in the quality of the welded door panel. A good welding head can shorten the weld formation cycle, improve weld quality, and reduce production costs.

[0003] A complete ultrasonic welding unit mainly consists of five parts: a fixing mechanism, a drive cylinder, a transducer, an amplitude modulator, and a welding head. To ensure welding quality and extend the lifespan of the ultrasonic welding unit, the fixing mechanism is typically designed to be robust, and the drive cylinder diameter is usually relatively large. This results in a larger space requirement for a single ultrasonic welding unit. Furthermore, ultrasonic welding requires the welding head to be parallel or nearly parallel to the welding surface of the weld point; otherwise, its lifespan will be affected. Therefore, in traditional ultrasonic welding units, the fixing mechanism, drive cylinder, guide rail, transducer, amplitude modulator, and welding head are generally arranged in an approximately straight line above the weld point.

[0004] Due to their structural characteristics, automotive interior parts have a large number of weld points with a high density. The traditional linear arrangement of ultrasonic welding units leads to insufficient space, making it impossible to install all welding units. To solve this problem, a common approach is to group the weld points, with each welding machine welding only a portion of them. This solves the space shortage issue. However, this also significantly increases equipment costs; each additional group requires an additional machine and a set of welding mats.

[0005] For cost reasons, each welding machine needs to weld as many weld points as possible. Therefore, a necessary condition for grouping weld points is that the welding surfaces of the weld points need to be parallel or nearly parallel to avoid interference between welding units, allowing more welding units to be installed in a limited space. However, when dealing with some complex products, the welding surfaces of the weld points may be perpendicular to each other, or even three welding surfaces may be perpendicular to each other in pairs, and it is necessary to group these weld points together for welding.

[0040] This invention provides a welding device for complex structural products, such as... Figure 1 As shown, it includes:

[0041] Fixed mechanism 1;

[0042] Drive cylinder 2, which is mounted on fixed mechanism 1;

[0043] A guide rail 3 is installed at the bottom of the drive cylinder 2; a slider 31 is installed on the guide rail 3; the slider 31 is connected to the output shaft of the drive cylinder 2.

[0044] Transducer 4 is mounted on slider 31;

[0046] Welding head 6 is installed on the tail end of the second crossbar 53.

[0047] Preferably, the fixing mechanism 1 includes an L-shaped fixing plate 11 and a fan-shaped fixing plate 12 connected together;

[0048] The bottom of the L-shaped fixing plate 11 is fixedly connected to the top of the fan-shaped fixing plate 12;

[0049] The drive cylinder 2 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the sector-shaped fixing plate 12.

[0050] Preferably, the drive cylinder 2, guide rail 3, first crossbar 51 and second crossbar 53 are all horizontally arranged;

[0051] The vertical rod 52 is set vertically.

[0052] Preferably, the slider 31 is connected to the output shaft of the drive cylinder 2 via a connecting plate 21.

[0053] Preferably, it also includes an auxiliary plate 7;

[0054] The auxiliary plate 7 is connected to the amplitude adjustment rod 5.

[0055] Preferably, the auxiliary plate 7 is L-shaped;

[0056] The auxiliary plate 7 includes a connected auxiliary horizontal plate 71 and an auxiliary vertical plate 72;

[0057] The tail end of the auxiliary horizontal plate 71 is connected to the top of the auxiliary vertical plate 72.

[0058] Preferably, the tail end of the first crossbar 51 is connected to the tail end of the auxiliary crossbar 71 via a first connecting rod 73;

[0059] The bottom of the vertical rod 52 is connected to the bottom of the auxiliary vertical plate 72 via the second connecting rod 74.

[0060] To better illustrate the technical effects of this utility model, the present utility model provides the following specific embodiments to explain the above technical process:

[0061] Example 1: A welding device for a complex structure product, such as... Figure 1 As shown:

[0062] This utility model is fixed to a column directly above the product or on the side of the membrane via a fixing mechanism 1. The output shaft of the drive cylinder 2 drives the slider 31 to slide on the guide rail 3 via a connecting plate 21. The transducer 4, mounted on the slider 31, slides accordingly. The horizontally positioned transducer 4 rotates the subsequent wave direction by 90°, adjusting it from vertical to horizontal. The amplitude adjustment rod 5 includes a hook-shaped first horizontal rod 51, a vertical rod 52, and a second horizontal rod 53. The transducer 4 rotates the wave direction by 180° via the hook-shaped amplitude adjustment rod 5. When the welding device is installed on one side of a product with a complex structure,

[0063] It can be easily welded.

[0064] The auxiliary plate 7 is installed on one side of the transducer 4 and parallel to it. The auxiliary plate 7 is fixedly connected to the amplitude adjustment rod 5 through the first connecting rod 73 and the second connecting rod 74. The auxiliary plate 7 has a fixing effect on the amplitude adjustment rod 5 to ensure that it moves along the extension direction.

[0065] like Figure 2As shown, the traditional ultrasonic welding unit fixing mechanism 1, driving cylinder 2, guide rail 3, transducer 4, amplitude transformer rod 5, and welding head 6 are connected in sequence. They are arranged nearly linearly above the welding point. To solve the problem of assembly interference of the welding units in different welding directions, it is necessary to avoid the installation position of the welding unit in the main welding direction. Generally, the space directly above the product is the assembly space of the welding unit in the main welding direction. Therefore, it is necessary to avoid the installation space above the product and find the installation position of the welding unit from the side.

[0066] As Figure 1 shown, the complex structure product to be processed can be placed directly below the transducer 4. When the driving cylinder 2 retracts, it带动 the welding head 6 at the end of the second cross bar 53 to move towards the side wall of the product to be processed. The transducer 4 emits waves, and the welding head 6 welds the welding points on the side wall of the complex structure product to be processed.

[0067] The welding unit designed by the present utility model is flexibly fixed. It can be fixed in the space directly above the product or on the column on the side of the die. The amplitude transformer rod 5 is changed from the traditional cylindrical structure to a hook-shaped structure, and at the same time, the wave-emitting time of the welding head is changed. Instead of emitting waves when the output shaft of the driving cylinder 2 extends, it emits waves when the output shaft of the driving cylinder 2 retracts.

[0068] The overall layout of the welding unit of the present utility model is similar to a "ji" character structure, which can save space to the greatest extent and improve the flexibility of use.

[0069] As described above, only the specific embodiments of the present utility model are given, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed by the present utility model should be covered within the protection scope of the present utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of the present utility model should be subject to the protection scope of the claimed rights.
