[0035] (Example 1)

[0036] FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an ultrasonic welding device (100) according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0037] Figure 2 is an exploded perspective view showing the main parts of an ultrasonic welding device (100) according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0038] Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, the ultrasonic welding device (100) may include a base (110) having a recess (114); an ultrasonic stack (190) provided on the base (110); and an adjustment housing (120) surrounding the ultrasonic stack (190) and seated within the recess (114).

[0039] The above ultrasonic stack (190) may include a vibration generating unit (130) and a horn (140). The vibration generating unit (130) may include a vibrator (131) that converts electrical energy into mechanical vibration energy and a booster (133) that reduces or amplifies the amplitude of the vibrator (131). The vibration energy of the booster (133) may be transmitted to the horn (140) and used to fuse a work piece.

[0040] The above ultrasonic welding device (100) can weld the workpiece by frictional heat by placing the workpiece between an anvil (180) and a horn (140) and then vibrating the horn (140) while applying pressure thereto.

[0041] The anvil (180) may include an anvil base (181). The upper surface of the anvil base (181) may extend generally horizontally. The anvil (180) may support a workpiece pressed by the horn (140) from the lower side. In some embodiments, the upper portion of the anvil (180) may be configured to be detachable from the anvil base (181).

[0042] The vertical distance between the anvil (180) and the horn (140) can be adjusted. That is, the vertical distance between the anvil (180) and the horn (140) can be adjusted by adjusting the relative distance between them. In some embodiments, the relative distance between the anvil (180) and the horn (140) can be adjusted by moving at least one of them in the vertical direction. To this end, at least one of the anvil (180) and the horn (140) can be configured to be able to rise and fall.

[0043] The horn (140) may be positioned on the upper side of the anvil (180). In some embodiments, the horn (140) may have a square plate shape, and the lower end of the horn (140) may extend in one direction (e.g., the X-axis direction). The workpiece may be pressed and welded between the lower end of the horn (140) and the anvil (180).

[0044] In some embodiments, at least one of the bottom surface of the horn (140) and the top surface of the anvil (180) may be provided with a protrusion that improves contact with the workpiece. In this case, marks corresponding to the protrusion may remain on the workpiece after welding is completed.

[0045] In order to ensure excellent welding quality, the upper surface of the anvil (180) and the lower surface of the horn (140) must be maintained parallel to each other. The ultrasonic welding device (100) according to embodiments of the present invention is configured to be able to adjust the horizontality of the lower surface of the horn (140) in response to the upper surface of the anvil (180). Here, the horizontality of the lower surface of the horn (140) may mean an absolute horizontality associated with an absolute reference (e.g., the direction of gravity), but may also mean a relative horizontality with respect to the upper surface of the anvil (180).

[0046] As described above, the vibration generating unit (130) may include a vibrator (131) and a booster (133). The vibrator (131) and the booster (133) may have a generally cylindrical shape. The vibrator (131), the booster (133), and the horn (140) may be sequentially arranged in a straight line in a predetermined direction (e.g., the Y-axis direction), and the ultrasonic stack (190) may extend along the predetermined direction. Furthermore, the vibrator (131), the booster (133), and the horn (140) may have a common central axis.

[0047] The above-described adjustment unit housing (120) may surround the ultrasonic stack (190). In some embodiments, the adjustment unit housing (120) may include an upper housing (122) and a lower housing (124) that are coupled to each other with the ultrasonic stack (190) therebetween. The upper housing (122) and the lower housing (124) may be configured to cooperate with each other to at least partially surround a side surface of the ultrasonic stack (190). In some embodiments, the adjustment unit housing (120) may be configured to surround a side surface of the vibration generating unit (130).

[0048] The above adjustment unit housing (120) may further include a fastening member (128) that fastens the upper housing (122) and the lower housing (124). In some embodiments, the fastening member (128) may be a housing fastening bolt. The upper housing (122) may have a through hole through which the housing fastening bolt may pass. The lower housing (124) may have a fastening hole corresponding to the through hole through which the housing fastening bolt may be fastened.

[0049] The above-described base (110) may have a concave portion (114) capable of partially accommodating the adjustment unit housing (120). In some embodiments, the concave portion (114) may have an arc-shaped cross-section. The lower portion of the adjustment unit housing (120) may have a shape suitable for being seated in the concave portion (114). That is, the lower surface (124b) of the adjustment unit housing (120) may have a shape corresponding to the concave surface of the concave portion (114). In some embodiments, the shape corresponding to the concave surface may be a complementary shape to the concave surface.

[0050] In some embodiments, the base (110) and the adjustment housing (120) may be configured to have an adjustable gap therebetween on one side. By adjusting the gap between the base (110) and the adjustment housing (120) on one side, the adjustment housing (120) can be rotated relative to the base (110). By rotating the adjustment housing (120) relative to the base (110), the horizontality of the horn (140) can be adjusted.

[0051] The rotation axis around which the adjustment unit housing (120) rotates may be substantially parallel to the extension direction of the ultrasonic stack (190). In some embodiments, the vibrator (131), the booster (133), and the horn (140) have a common central axis, and the rotation axis may coincide with the central axis.

[0052] The above-described adjustment unit housing (120) may have through holes (124h1, 124h2) on both sides with the ultrasonic stack (190) in between. Specifically, the adjustment unit housing (120) may have first through holes (124h1) through which first bolts (151) may pass on one side of the ultrasonic stack (190). In addition, the adjustment unit housing (120) may have second through holes (124h2) through which second bolts (153) may pass on the other side of the ultrasonic stack (190). The first bolts (151) may pass through the first through holes (124h1) and be fastened to the base (110). In addition, the second bolts (153) may pass through the second through holes (124h2) and be fastened to the base (110).

[0053] The first bolts (151) may pass through the first through-holes (124h1) but may not be screw-connected to the adjustment unit housing (120). In addition, the second bolts (153) may pass through the second through-holes (124h2) but may not be screw-connected to the adjustment unit housing (120). In this case, the adjustment unit housing (120) may move in the up-and-down direction (e.g., in the Z-axis direction) along the stems of the first bolts (151).

[0054] In FIGS. 1 and 2, the first through-holes (124h1) and the second through-holes (124h2) are illustrated as being provided in the lower housing (124), but the present invention is not limited thereto. In some embodiments, the through-holes may be provided in the upper housing (122).

[0055] Figure 3 is a side view of the ultrasonic welding device (100).

[0056] Referring to FIGS. 2 and 3, a first compression spring (151sp) may be provided between the head portion (H) of the first bolt (151) and the adjustment unit housing (120). In addition, a second compression spring (153sp) may be provided between the head portion (H) of the second bolt (153) and the adjustment unit housing (120).

[0057] The first compression spring (151sp) can apply a force in a vertical direction (e.g., in the Z-axis direction) between the head portion (H) of the first bolt (151) and the adjustment unit housing (120) to the adjustment unit housing (120). Since the first bolt (151) is fastened to the base (110), the head portion (H) of the first bolt (151) receives a force from the first compression spring (151sp), but does not move in the vertical direction by the force. Meanwhile, the adjustment unit housing (120) receives a force from the first compression spring (151sp) and can move by the force.

[0058] The second compression spring (153sp) can apply a force in a vertical direction (e.g., in the Z-axis direction) between the head portion (H) of the second bolt (153) and the adjustment unit housing (120) to the adjustment unit housing (120). Since the second bolt (153) is fastened to the base (110), the head portion (H) of the second bolt (153) receives a force from the second compression spring (153sp), but does not move in the vertical direction by the force. Meanwhile, the adjustment unit housing (120) receives a force from the second compression spring (153sp) and can move by the force.

[0059] In some embodiments, the spring constant of the first compression spring (151sp) may be the same as the spring constant of the second compression spring (153sp).

[0060] In some other embodiments, the spring constant of the first compression spring (151sp) may be different from the spring constant of the second compression spring (153sp). In some embodiments, the first compression spring (151sp) may have a larger spring constant than the second compression spring (153sp). Therefore, the force required for the first compression spring (151sp) to compress the same length is greater than the force required for the second compression spring (153sp). Since the spring constant of the first compression spring (151sp) is greater than that of the second compression spring (153sp), the adjustment unit housing (120) may receive a force in a counterclockwise direction (i.e., direction 2) with respect to the drawing illustrated in FIG. 3.

[0061] The ultrasonic welding device (100) may further include an adjustment bolt (160) that penetrates the base (110) and comes into contact with the adjustment unit housing (120). In some embodiments, the adjustment bolt (160) may come into contact with the lower surface of the housing protrusion (126) of the adjustment unit housing (120). In some embodiments, the base (110) has a base protrusion (116) corresponding to the housing protrusion (126), and the adjustment bolt (160) may penetrate the base protrusion (116) and come into contact with the housing protrusion (126).

[0062] Figure 4 is an enlarged partial view of part A of Figure 3.

[0063] Referring to FIGS. 3 and 4, the adjustment bolt (160) can be moved forward or backward in a vertical direction (e.g., in the Z-axis direction) by rotation. The adjustment bolt (160) can be configured to be able to move in a direction that compresses the first compression spring (151sp) by rotation in one direction. In addition, the adjustment bolt (160) can be configured to be able to move in a direction that relaxes the first compression spring (151sp) by rotation in the opposite direction to the above direction.

[0064] Specifically, when the adjustment bolt (160) is moved forward in the vertical direction by rotation (i.e., direction 1), in other words, when it rises in the +Z direction of FIG. 3, the housing protrusion (126) in contact with the adjustment bolt (160) receives an upward force, and the adjustment unit housing (120) rises upward. As a result, the gap (G) between the adjustment unit housing (120) and the base (110) increases, and the first compression spring (151sp) can be compressed. Since the housing protrusion (126) receives an upward force, the adjustment unit housing (120) can be rotated clockwise by a predetermined angle overall with respect to the rotation axis.

[0065] Conversely, when the above adjustment bolt (160) is retracted vertically by rotation (i.e., in direction 2), that is, lowered in the -Z direction of FIG. 3, the housing protrusion (126) is forced downward by the first compression spring (151sp), and the adjustment unit housing (120) is lowered downward. As a result, the gap (G) between the adjustment unit housing (120) and the base (110) is reduced, and the first compression spring (151sp) can be relaxed. Since the housing protrusion (126) is forced downward, the adjustment unit housing (120) can be rotated overall counterclockwise by a predetermined angle with respect to the rotation axis (CL).

[0066] Therefore, by adjusting the forward and backward movement of the adjustment bolt (160) in the vertical direction, the adjustment housing (120) can be rotated clockwise or counterclockwise by a predetermined angle. As a result, it is possible to adjust the horizontality of the horn (140).

[0067] The above adjustment bolt (160) may be screw-connected to the support nut portion (117) so that the above adjustment bolt (160) can be vertically advanced or retreated by rotation. The support nut portion (117) may be a part of the support (110). In FIG. 4, the support nut portion (117) is illustrated as being exposed to the outside, but the support nut portion (117) may be provided on the inner surface of the through hole of the support (110) through which the adjustment bolt (160) passes.

[0068]

[0069] (Example 2)

[0070] Fig. 5 is an exploded perspective view illustrating the main components of an ultrasonic welding device (100) according to another embodiment of the present invention. The embodiment illustrated in Fig. 5 is substantially identical to the embodiments illustrated in Figs. 1 to 3 except that it further includes a stopper (171, 173). Therefore, the following description will focus on these differences.

[0071] Referring to FIG. 5, a first stopper (171) may be provided close to the first bolts (151).

[0072] In some embodiments, the first stopper (171) may be coupled to the base (110) by penetrating the adjustment unit housing (120) on one side of the adjustment unit housing (120). In addition, the first stopper (171) may inhibit the adjustment unit housing (120) from being lifted upward. In FIG. 5, the first stopper (171) is illustrated as including one bolt and one nut, but the present invention is not limited thereto. The first stopper (171) may be composed of one bolt, or another configuration known in the art that functions as a stopper may be employed.

[0073] When performing welding with the above ultrasonic welding device (100), the horn (140) can apply a predetermined pressure to the workpiece. In reaction to the pressure, the horn (140) and the adjustment housing (120) surrounding it can receive an upward force, thereby allowing the adjustment housing (120) to be lifted from the base (110). The first stopper (171) can serve to limit the movement of the adjustment housing (120) so that the horn (140) and the adjustment housing (120) are not lifted from the base (110).

[0074] The above first stopper (171) can be provided to the adjustment unit housing (120) and the base (110) after securing the horizontal level of the horn (140).

[0075] In some embodiments, a second stopper (173) may be further provided in proximity to the second bolts (153).

[0076] The second stopper (173) may be coupled to the base (110) by penetrating the adjustment unit housing (120) from the other side of the adjustment unit housing (120). In addition, the second stopper (173) may suppress the adjustment unit housing (120) from being lifted upward. In FIG. 5, the second stopper (173) is illustrated as including one bolt and one nut, but the present invention is not limited thereto. The second stopper (173) may be composed of one bolt, or another configuration that functions as a stopper as is known in the art may be employed.

[0077] The second stopper (173) can perform the same function as the first stopper (171). That is, the second stopper (173) can serve to limit the movement of the adjustment unit housing (120) so that the horn (140) and the adjustment unit housing (120) are not lifted from the base (110).

[0078] The second stopper (173) can be provided to the adjustment unit housing (120) and the base (110) after securing the horizontal level of the horn (140).

[0079] The ultrasonic welding device (100) described above can easily and precisely adjust the horizontality of the horn with respect to the anvil, thereby greatly improving the welding quality.

[0080] While the embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above, those skilled in the art will appreciate that various modifications and variations can be made to the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims. Therefore, modifications to future embodiments of the present invention will not depart from the scope of the invention.
