2. Description of the Related Art In general, a bonding method using an adhesive as a method for bonding resin parts has problems in working environment such as volatilization of an organic solvent and has a problem in bonding resin parts having poor adhesive characteristics. In addition, the high frequency welding method tends to be difficult to bond with materials having poor high frequency welder characteristics, such as a polyolefin resin. In that respect, the ultrasonic welding method has advantages that a favorable working environment can be ensured and that the resin material is not restricted.

As described above, in the conventional ultrasonic welding apparatus, the ultrasonic horn 5 is fixed to the vibrator 6a fixed to the press machine side by screwing. For this reason, when the amount of screwing of the ultrasonic horn 5 varies, as shown in FIG. 7, the ultrasonic horn 5 is attached at an angle of θ with respect to a proper position, so that reproducibility is ensured. However, there is a problem that welding failure occurs during ultrasonic welding.

Further, a play (indicated by reference numeral d in FIG. 6) is set between the screw hole 6d provided in the flange 6b of the vibrator case 6 and the screw 9, so that the play is performed in the front-rear and left-right directions. The vibrator case 6 is displaced, and the inclination is likely to occur due to the variation in the tightening force of the screw 9, so that the resin parts cannot be welded and fixed with high precision, and a large amount of burrs are generated or welding failure occurs. Etc.

Further, the vibrator unit has a structure in which the vibrator and the ultrasonic horn are previously assembled by bolting or the like, and the vibrator is housed in a vibrating case. is there. That is, the press frame is provided with a pair of support rails that support both sides of the flange of the vibrator unit. The vibrator unit is slid along the grooves provided on the inner surfaces of the support rails facing each other, and is positioned at an appropriate position. A lock mechanism is provided so that the vibrator unit is positioned in the direction of the arrow and does not shift in the front, rear, left and right directions.

In a ball plunger mechanism as one form of a lock mechanism, a ball urged in a projecting direction by an urging spring is buried in an inner surface of a groove of a support rail, and is provided at a position corresponding to a lower surface of a flange of a vibrator unit. Is formed with a conical engagement portion, and a ball enters the conical engagement portion and is biased by a spring, thereby restricting displacement in the front-rear and left-right directions, and locking the vibrator unit at an appropriate position on the press stand. .

Further, in order to eliminate the vertical fluctuation of the vibrator unit with respect to the press stand, the inner surface of the groove of the support rail and the upper surface of the flange of the vibrator unit are inclined along the sliding direction of the vibrator unit. The displacement of the vibrator unit in the vertical direction can be restricted by the abutting action of the contacting and inclined surfaces. Further, after the transducer unit is slidably mounted in the support rail, the transducer unit is prevented from falling off by the drop-off preventing piece provided on the tip side of the support rail.

As is apparent from the above configuration, in the ultrasonic welding apparatus according to the present invention, if the vibrator unit is slid and mounted along the support rail of the press stand, the conical coupling on the lower surface of the vibrator case is at an appropriate position. The ball of the ball plunger provided on the support rail fits into the joint portion, the vibrator unit is locked at this position, and there is no positional displacement in the front, rear, left and right directions.

Furthermore, if the falling-off preventing piece pressed by the spring is provided, the vibrator unit mounted on the support rail will not be displaced forward even if there is some vibration or impact. In addition, since there is a slope between the inner surface of the support rail and the outer surface of the case of the vibrator unit in contact with each other in the sliding direction, there is no vertical displacement.

Accordingly, the vibrator unit can be mounted on the press machine with one touch without requiring any tools, as compared with the conventional vibrator replacement operation.
