Description

Welding machine for synthetic resins

[0001] The present invention relates to a welding machine for synthetic resins, and more specifically, to a welding machine for synthetic resins that enables welding using hot air and ultrasonic vibration energy, while allowing smooth entry and exit of fabrics between an upper ultrasonic horn made of metal and a lower welding roller, and in particular, facilitates work on high-quality, folded fabrics.

[0002] Recently, with the increase in leisure and hobby activities, various functional clothing, coverings, tents, etc. are being widely used.

[0003] Fabrics for various types of clothing, such as these, are usually required to have a basic waterproof function, and are produced using waterproof fabrics that have a waterproof function.

[0004] Accordingly, fabrics that require waterproofing, such as functional clothing, coverings, tents, and other fabrics, are manufactured using the above-mentioned waterproof fabrics so that they faithfully perform their original function while also being waterproof, allowing them to be prepared for rainy weather.

[0005] Accordingly, the waterproof fabrics as described above can be secured by joining them together through welding, and the heat welding method is mainly used as the welding method.

[0006] Meanwhile, hot air, ultrasonic, high frequency, rotation, and vibration welding methods are being applied as heat welding methods.

[0007] Among them, hot air welding is mainly used to bond waterproof tape to the sewing part of fabric. High temperature hot air is applied to the waterproof tape to melt it to a certain degree, and at the same time, the waterproof tape is bonded to the sewing part of the fabric and passed between upper and lower rollers made of rubber.

[0008] However, the hot air welding method described above is one in which high-temperature hot air is discharged over a relatively large area, and although it was possible to melt and bond relatively thin waterproof tapes, there was a serious problem in that when thick fabrics such as tents were overlapped and bonded, the waterproof coating around the bonding surface of the fabrics would burn and peel off due to excessive hot air.

[0009] In particular, in the past, general PE and PVC coating materials were used for waterproof coating on tents, etc., but recently, polymer coatings made of eco-friendly materials are being applied to prevent environmental pollution. However, in the case of hot air as mentioned above, if weak hot air is applied, the decomposition power of the polymer decreases, preventing proper bonding, and if excessive hot air is applied, there was a problem that the coating surface burned.

[0010] Accordingly, in order to solve the above problems, an ultrasonic welding method is applied in which ultrasonic vibration energy is transmitted to the welded material through an ultrasonic horn, causing instantaneous frictional heat to be generated at the joint surface of the welded material between the upper welding roller and the welded material, thereby melting and bonding the synthetic resin and forming a strong molecular bond.

[0011] However, the conventional welding method using a welding roller and an ultrasonic horn as described above has a serious problem in that the welding wheel and the ultrasonic horn are both made of metal, and when a strong fabric enters, the frictional force decreases, causing the fabric to slip, making it difficult to properly enter and exit the fabric, and this makes it difficult to perform a uniform welding operation.

[0012] In addition, conventional synthetic resin welding machines have welding rollers or ultrasonic horns mounted on a work table and configured to protrude to a predetermined degree, which has the problem of making welding difficult in the case of rigid, foldable fabrics.

[0013] [Patent Document]

[0014] (Patent Document 1) Republic of Korea Patent No. 10-2088557.

[0015] (Patent Document 2) Republic of Korea Patent No. 10-2405061.

[0016] The present invention was created to solve the above-mentioned problems, and the purpose of the present invention is to provide a synthetic resin welding machine in which an ultrasonic generator that operates to rise and fall by means of a lifting platform is formed at the upper portion, and a welding roller is formed at the upper portion of a vertical guide pipe that is vertically installed from the lower portion of the main body at the lower portion, thereby improving the workability of the curved fabric by installing it on the welding roller without interference with a worktable, etc. when the curved fabric is placed on the welding roller.

[0017] In addition, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a synthetic resin welding machine that enables smooth entry and exit and uniform welding operation without slipping of the fabric between the ultrasonic horn and welding roller made of metal during the entry and exit process of the fabric by forming a friction roller on the side of the ultrasonic horn.

[0018] As a specific means for achieving the above purpose, a main body is formed with a base plate that protrudes horizontally and is supported on the ground at the bottom, a support arm that protrudes toward the upper side of the base plate and is hollow inside and open to one side, and a platform that is supported on the inside of the support arm and operates to move up and down and has an end that protrudes toward one side of the support arm;

[0019] A heater rod formed at a protruding position of the above elevator, which operates to rise and fall together with the elevator, and which has a hot air nozzle formed at the bottom to discharge hot air onto the supplied fabric;

[0020] An ultrasonic generator that is installed on the front of the elevator platform and has a lifting operation and vertical rotational force together with the elevator platform, and is composed of a horizontally arranged vibrator, a booster, an ultrasonic horn having vertical rotational force, and a housing to generate ultrasonic vibration energy;

[0021] A rotary driving means formed on the above-mentioned platform, comprising a driving motor and a rotary shaft, the rotary shaft being connected to a belt pulley of the ultrasonic generator to provide rotary force to the ultrasonic generator;

[0022] An upper guide means formed on the above support arm and guiding the entry of the upper fabric to be welded;

[0023] A welding roller rotation guide unit comprising a vertical support vertically installed upward from the base plate, a vertical guide tube in the form of a hollow tube extending vertically from one side of the vertical support and having a welding roller made of metal installed at the upper end in a position opposite to the ultrasonic horn, and a horizontal guide tube in the form of a hollow tube connected to the main body at the lower end of the vertical guide tube;

[0024] A roller driving means formed on the inside of the above welding roller rotation guide part and providing rotational force to the above welding roller;

[0025] A lower guide means formed at the top of the vertical guide tube and guiding the entry of the lower fabric to be welded; and

[0026] It is formed and rotates on the above-mentioned platform, and is configured to include a fabric friction means that applies rotational friction to the welding roller when the ultrasonic horn descends to prevent the entry and exit of the fabric.

[0027] The above fabric friction means is,

[0028] An installation bracket formed on the above-mentioned platform and protruding rearward, and having an axial portion formed at the bottom;

[0029] A cylinder having a vertical mounting of the above-mentioned installation bracket and a cylinder rod that operates by protruding downwards;

[0030] A pivoting member whose middle part is hinged to the above-mentioned shaft and protrudes forward and backward from the platform, and to which the cylinder rod is connected and which rotates by the operation of the cylinder;

[0031] A pair of roller mounting bars on both sides protruding from the front sides of the above rotary table to the lower sides of the above ultrasonic horn;

[0032] A friction roller made of rubber and mounted on the end of each roller mounting bar and rotating; and

[0033] This can be achieved by including a stroke adjustment bolt that is vertically screwed to the front of the above-mentioned installation bracket and is supported on the upper part of the rotation table when the rotation table is operated to adjust the rotation angle.

[0034] As described above, the synthetic resin welding machine of the present invention has sufficient space formed at the bottom through the vertical arm mounting structure of the welding roller, so that even in the case of a folded fabric that protrudes upward, welding work can be performed with great convenience.

[0035] In addition, a friction roller that protrudes and operates downward from one side of the ultrasonic horn is formed on one side of the elevator, which provides rotational friction to the fabric entering and exiting during the welding process, enabling smooth entry and exit, and thereby maintaining the exit speed, thereby achieving the effect of enabling uniform welding.

[0133] To this end, first, the fabric to be entered for welding work is composed of an upper fabric (10) and a lower fabric (20). At this time, the upper fabric (10) is guided into the process through an upper guide means (500), and the lower fabric (20) is guided into the process through a lower guide means (800).

[0134] This is, with reference to Figure 10, first, the upper fabric (10) is guided to enter through the upper guide (530), so that one side of the upper fabric (10) to be welded enters through the upper fabric entry groove (531) and one side enters the upper fabric entry groove (531).

[0135] And the lower fabric (20) is guided into the lower guide (840), so that one side of the lower fabric (20) to be welded enters through the lower fabric entry groove (841) and one side enters the lower fabric entry groove (841), so that the upper fabric (10) and the lower fabric (20) form a state in which the vertical welding portions overlap.

[0136] At this time, in the present invention, the upper fabric (10) and the lower fabric (20) entering the upper guider (530) and the lower guider (840) as described above can be adjusted in various widths depending on the area to be welded, and this will be possible by sliding adjustment of the upper adjustment block (532) and the lower adjustment block (831).

[0137] Accordingly, in the present invention, as described above, the upper guider (530) and the lower guider (840) enable precise position control of the upper and lower fabrics (10) (20) to be joined, while the welding roller (621) is formed spaced upward by the vertical support (610), thereby enabling smooth entry of the fabric folded in the “ㄱ” shape.

[0138] Afterwards, a welding operation for joining the upper and lower fabrics (10) (20) that are introduced as described above is performed, and this is achieved by the operation of the synthetic resin welding machine (1) when the elevator (130) is lowered, the pressurization of the upper and lower fabrics (10) (20) by the ultrasonic horn (330), the rotational mounting of the heater rod (200), the opposite rotation of the ultrasonic generator (300) and the welding roller (621), and the operation of the fabric friction means (900), so that the upper and lower fabrics (10) (20) can be welded and discharged to the rear.

[0139] This is done by inserting the upper and lower fabrics (10) (20) in a state of overlapping according to the operation described above with reference to Fig. 11 between the welding roller (621) and the ultrasonic horn (330).

[0140] Accordingly, the upper and lower fabrics (10)(20) are heated by hot air discharged from the hot air nozzle (210) of the heater rod (200).

[0141] Afterwards, the upper and lower fabrics (10) (20) that are introduced are introduced between the welding roller (621) and the ultrasonic horn (330), and at the same time, they are melted and pressurized by frictional heat caused by ultrasonic vibration energy between the welding roller (621) and the ultrasonic horn (330), and the introduction and discharge are continuously performed by the opposite rotational force of the welding roller (621) and the ultrasonic horn (330).

[0142] Meanwhile, as described above, when the upper and lower fabrics (10) (20) enter and exit between the welding roller (621) and the ultrasonic horn (330), the welding roller (621) and the ultrasonic horn (330) may not enter and exit properly due to a slipping phenomenon when working with a strong fabric due to the nature of the metal material.

[0143] Accordingly, in the present invention, frictional force is applied to the upper fabric (10) by the fabric friction means (900), and in the fabric friction means (900), the front of the rotating table (930) and the roller mounting bar (940) is rotated downward by the operation of the cylinder (920), thereby causing the friction roller (950) to protrude downward from the ultrasonic horn (330).

[0144] At this time, the protruding friction roller (950) initially protrudes below the ultrasonic horn (330), but as the elevator (130) descends and the ultrasonic generator (300) descends together, the friction roller (950) presses against the upper portion of the welding roller (621) and comes into contact with it.

[0145] Accordingly, when the upper and lower fabrics (10)(20) enter, the rubber friction roller (950) presses the upper surface of the upper fabric (10) to a predetermined degree, so that frictional force is applied to the upper fabric (10), enabling stable entry and rearward discharge of the welded upper and lower fabrics (10)(20).

[0146] That is, in the present invention, when the upper and lower fabrics (10) (20) enter, the friction roller (950) applies frictional force to the upper part of the upper fabric (10) by the operation of the fabric friction means (900), thereby enabling smooth supply at a uniform speed without slipping of the fabric and uniform welding work accordingly.

[0147] In addition, in the present invention, when welding and joining the upper and lower fabrics (10) (20) through the ultrasonic horn (330) and the welding roller (621) as described above, excessive heat may be generated in the ultrasonic horn (330) other than the welding operation due to high-temperature frictional heat caused by ultrasonic vibration energy. In this case, in the present invention, predetermined cooling of the ultrasonic horn (330) is possible by the cooling unit (1000).

[0148] This means that, with reference to FIG. 9, the air supplied to the air supply pipe (1010) moves and is distributed to the air distribution pipe (1020) and is discharged to the side of the ultrasonic horn (330) through the air discharge hole (1021) (1021'), thereby enabling cooling of unnecessary heat generated outside the peripheral surface of the ultrasonic horn (330) required for welding.

[0149] As described above, the synthetic resin welding machine of the present invention makes welding work of curved fabrics protruding upwards very easy through the upper configuration of the ultrasonic generator, and enables stable welding work, especially in the process of working with strong fabrics.

[0150] The present invention's synthetic resin welding machine has a structure in which the welding roller is mounted vertically, so that sufficient space is formed at the bottom, and thus welding work is very convenient even for a folded fabric that protrudes upward. In addition, a friction roller that protrudes downward from one side of an ultrasonic horn is formed on one side of a lifting platform, so that rotational friction is applied to the fabric entering and exiting during the welding work process, enabling smooth entry and exit, and thereby maintaining the exit speed, thereby having the effect of enabling uniform welding work.
