Definitions
- the invention relates to a sonotrode in particular for accelerating spheres for ultrasonic shot peening specified in the preamble of claim 1.
- Such sonotrodes are used, for example, for surface blasting of metallic components with the aid of balls as a blasting medium.
- the balls are accelerated by means of the sonotrode, for example, within a blasting chamber in order to machine the surface of a workpiece also disposed within the blasting chamber.
- This makes it possible, for example, to minimize or almost eliminate the occurrence of distortions and material misalignments on the edges of components of a gas turbine or an engine.
- such sonotrodes are used, for example, to weld or cut workpieces by means of ultrasound.
- Such a sonotrode can be seen as known from EP 0 711 626 A1, which is driven or vibrated for use in an ultrasonic welding system by means of two ultrasonic vibration units.
- Each of these ultrasonic vibration units comprises a vibration exciter in the form of a piezoelectric converter, which is connected by means of a respectively associated amplitude transformation piece with a arranged on the output side of the sonotrode cover element.
- the cover element comprises on the output side a work surface with which the workpiece - according to the field of application - can be welded, riveted or sunk.
- Each of the two amplitude transformation pieces assigned to the associated ultrasound oscillation units acts as a downstream booster stage, which are made of a titanium alloy, for example, and generate the required acceleration amplitudes on the output side of the sonotrode via resonance effects.
- amplification of the oscillation amplitude or acceleration amplitude of the cover element on the output side of the sonotrode is carried out by means of the amplitude transformation pieces, taking advantage of their specific natural frequencies.
- the amplitude transformation pieces or amplifier units must be built very long, so that the total length of the sonotrode is often over 500 mm. The result of this is that the sonotrodes known from the prior art can only be used to a limited extent in complex components, since their size often entails geometrical overlaps with the component or workpiece.
- Object of the present invention is therefore to improve a sonotrode of the type mentioned so that it can be used even with geometrically complex components and even with a long service life or service life without significant performance losses.
- the sonotrode according to the invention is based on the basic idea that the cover element comprising the output side of the sonotrode is to be operated by means of the vibration exciter with a forced oscillation in which the value of the oscillation amplitude of the cover element essentially corresponds to the value of the oscillation amplitude of the oscillation exciter.
- it is therefore provided according to the invention to provide no amplification stage between the vibration exciter and the cover element arranged on the output side of the sonotrode, but rather to take over the value of the vibration amplitude generated by the vibration exciter essentially by the cover element.
- a sonotrode whose overall height is, for example, less than 70 mm
- caused by friction wear loss of mass on the output side of the cover element leads to very low performance losses, since the cover plate performs a forced oscillation and not on resonance effects has an amplified acceleration amplitude or vibration amplitude.
- a vibration exciter embodied as an ultrasonic piezoactuator
- overall the value of the vibration amplitude of the vibration generator depends on its dimensioning and in particular on its length.
- a length of about 40 mm to 60 mm, and preferably of about 50 mm of the vibration exciter has been found to be advantageous because over this length in a simple manner required for the ultrasonic radiation value of the vibration amplitude of the lid member or the vibration exciter in the range of about 40 microns to 60 microns, and preferably about 50 microns can be achieved.
- the values of their vibration vibration Lituden are substantially identical and correspond to the value of the vibration amplitude of the lid member.
- a plurality of vibration exciters it is possible in a simple manner, even with a correspondingly larger sized lid member to achieve the invention desired forced oscillation, so that the cover member over its entire extent with a substantially equal amplitude of vibration or an equal value of Vibration amplitude is excited.
- a plurality of vibration exciters provided, it is thus possible in a simple manner to operate both a central region and the outer edge regions of the cover element with a virtually identical value of its oscillation amplitude.
- the plurality of vibration exciter are to be operated in an in-phase oscillation.
- the cover element In order to connect the cover element in a simple manner with the at least one vibration exciter, it has been shown in a further embodiment of the invention to be advantageous to arrange this at least one spring element under bias to the vibration exciter. This is to ensure in a simple as well as reliable manner that the cover member forced by the vibration generator oscillates.
- the spring constant of the at least one spring element is preferably designed so that its main resonance is outside the operating frequency of the at least one vibration exciter.
- the lid member Since the lid member is operated with a forced vibration, its surface forming the output side of the sonotrode may be provided with a patterning consisting of, for example, waves, dents, grooves or the like, for distribution to widen the direction of acceleration of the balls through the surface of the lid member and to achieve a uniform as possible jet pattern.
- a schematic perspective view of a plurality of vibration exciter in the form of columnar ultrasonic piezoelectric actuators comprehensive sonotrode wherein a the output side of the sonotrode comprehensive upper lid member and a lower lid member directly connect to the vibration exciter, and wherein the upper lid member by means of a spring element under prestress the vibration exciter is held, which extends between the two cover elements.
- a sonotrode is shown in a schematic perspective view, which comprises a top-side disk-shaped cover member 10 having a thickness of about 10 mm.
- the upper surface of the cover element 10 forms the output side 12 of the sonotrode, with which in the present embodiment balls for ultrasonic shot peening accelerated or excited.
- the sonotrode can be arranged, for example, on a blasting chamber, not shown, for surface blasting, in that a ball mist can be generated within it by means of the oscillating output side 12 of the sonotrode.
- the disk-shaped cover element 10 has a diameter of, for example, 40 mm to 80 mm.
- a plurality of vibration exciter 14 are arranged in the present embodiment, which are presently designed as a columnar ultrasonic piezoelectric actuators having a substantially cylindrical basic shape.
- the vibration exciters 14 have a length of approximately 40 mm to 60 mm, and preferably approximately 50 mm.
- the vibration exciter 14 in the present case have a diameter of about 5 mm to 30 mm.
- the upper lid member 10 connects directly to the vibration exciter 14 upwards or is in contact with them.
- the vibration exciter 14 are distributed approximately uniformly on the outer circumference of the lid member 10 in the present exemplary embodiment.
- the vibration exciters 10 are arranged in a circle which is close to the outer peripheral side of the lid member 10.
- the vibration exciter 14 are also possible.
- a positioning of one or more vibration exciters 14 in a central region of the cover element is possible.
- a further cover member 16 is arranged, which is modeled in its shape to the output side 12 of the sonotrode forming upper cover member 10.
- the two cover elements 10, 16 thereby run parallel to one another.
- the lower cover element 16 also directly adjoins the vibration exciter 14 or is in direct contact with it.
- the result of the two cover elements 10, 16 and the vibration exciter 14 arranged therebetween is a sonotrode with a substantially cylindrical shape, the overall height of which is preferably less than or about 70 mm.
- the lower cover member 16 serves as a support of the sonotrode and is for example firmly clamped so that on the output side 12 of the upper lid member 10, the required to accelerate the balls for ultrasonic shot peening vibration can be generated.
- the spring elements 18 are arranged evenly distributed between the two cover elements 10, 16.
- the spring elements 18 are also loaded with a bias, so that in particular the upper cover member 10 is held under bias to the vibration exciter 14 is.
- the spring constant of the spring elements 18 is selected so that its main resonance is outside the operating frequency of the vibration exciter 14.
- the vibration exciter 14 are operated at a frequency greater than 20 kHz.
- the value of the oscillation amplitude of the vibration exciter 14 is in the range of about 40 microns to 60 microns, and preferably at about 50 microns.
- the upper cover element 10 held by means of the spring elements 18 under prestress against the vibration exciters 14 is forced into a forced oscillation by the immediate arrangement above the oscillation exciter 14, so that the value of the oscillation amplitude of the upper cover element 10 essentially corresponds to the value of the oscillation amplitude of the oscillation exciter 14 corresponds. Accordingly, the cover element 10 or its output side 12 is excited with a value of its oscillation amplitude of about 40 microns to 60 microns, and preferably about 50 microns. In order to achieve the forced oscillation of the cover element 10, the vibration exciter 14 are to be operated in an in-phase oscillation.
- the output side 12 of the upper cover element 10 is formed by a high-strength material such as a tungsten carbide-cobalt alloy, so that in the contact area with the balls no or minimal wear can occur.
- the output side 12 of the upper lid member 10 is provided with a structuring, for example, waves, dents, grooves or the like to widen the distribution of the direction of acceleration and to achieve the most uniform spray pattern of the balls in surface blasting.
- the sonotrode and in particular its cover elements 10, 16 as well as their vibration exciter 14 can also have other dimensions which are suitably matched to each other.
- the value of the oscillation amplitude of the vibration exciter 14 substantially corresponds to the value of the oscillation amplitude of the cover element 10.
- the sonotrode described here can be used not only for surface blasting or ultrasonic shot peening with corresponding balls, but also for other applications such as welding, cutting or riveting workpieces.
