Definitions

• the present invention relates to an ultrasonic oscillating unit with at least one converter for converting an alternating electrical voltage into a mechanical ultrasonic oscillation and a sonotrode, which is vibrationally coupled to the converter.
• the vibra tion coupling can be done either by the fact that the converter is attached directly to the sonotrode, or by interposing an amplitude transformer.
• Such ultrasonic vibration unit can be used for welding a variety of materials is set.
• the sonotrode is brought into contact with the material to be processed, so that the sonotrode transmits an ultrasonic vibration to the material to be processed.
• the material to be processed is positioned between the sonotrode and a counter-tool, so that the sonotrode applies a force to the material in the direction of the counter-tool.
• the components of the ultrasonic vibrating unit converter, Amplitudentransforma tor and sonotrode along an excellent longitudinal axis are arranged.
• FIG. 7 shows a known embodiment of an ultrasonic vibration unit 10.
• This consists of a converter housing 18, the converter 12, which has a piezoe lectric oscillating module, and a sonotrode 11, which is attached to the converter 12.
• the converter 12 has a flange 13 which is soft-mounted via elastic O-rings in the converter housing 18.
• Opposite lying from the sonotrode 11 is a counter tool 15 angeord net. Between sonotrode 11 and against tool 15 remains a gap 17 through which a mate rialbahn 16, which is to be processed by means of the ultrasonic vibrating unit 10, is moved therethrough.
• the sonotrode In order to generate an ultrasonic vibration with the largest possible amplitude, the sonotrode must be excited with an excitation frequency which is close to a resonant frequency of the Sono trode. Frequently, the resonant frequencies of the sonotrode are also characterized as natural frequencies be.
• the converter is operated at an operating frequency which is almost equal to the natural frequency f of the sonotrode.
• the converter itself is usually caused to oscillate by the application of an alternating voltage to piezoelectric elements located in the converter. The operating frequency at which the converter oscillates is thus controlled by the applied frequency of an AC voltage.
• the individual components of the ultrasonic vibrating unit are matched to one another such that the entire oscillating system has a natural frequency which corresponds to the natural frequency of the sonotrode. Upon excitation of the ultrasonic vibrating unit with this natural frequency, a standing longitudinal wave is formed in the entire ultrasonic vibrating unit with fixed vibration nodes and antinodes, the vibrations associated with the standing wave having the working frequency.
• the arrangement of the flange 13 in the vibration node ensures that the flange 13 oscillates only slightly in the propagation direction of the ultrasonic vibration.
• the ultrasonic vibrating unit 10 Due to the soft bearing by means of the O-rings 14, the ultrasonic vibrating unit 10 is decoupled from the converter housing 18, so that practically no vibration energy is transmitted from the ultrasonic vibrating unit 10 to the converter housing 18.
• these low-frequency parasitic vibrations can cause a reduced quality of the welding result. You can also use excessive stress on the components of the ultrasonic welder, especially the Piezo elements of the converter, cause as well as be responsible for an increased energy demand. In addition, the parasitic vibrations cause increased noise, which is undesirable.
• this object is achieved in that a damped Schwingungstilgerany is provided, which is connected at a vibration node with the ultrasonic vibrating unit, wherein the Schwingungstilgeriens is connected to a damping element which is designed such that it damps a vibration of the Schwingungstilgerany.
• a vibration damper unit is understood to be any unit that can be excited to vibrate. It is not necessary, although it may be advantageous for the vibration damping unit to have a resonance frequency adapted to certain frequencies. Due to the connection of the Schwingungstilgerü with damping elements, the Schwingungstilgerü is also referred to as a damped Schwingungstilgerü.
• the advantage of using this damped vibration absorber unit is that a desired longitudinal operating vibration of the converter with the working frequency is not damped by the damping elements, while the low-frequency parasitic oscillation is damped.
• the damping elements being located on the vibration absorber unit which is connected to the ultrasonic vibration unit at a vibration node of the standing wave of the working vibration.
• the connection according to the invention via a coupling element arranged at a vibration node makes it possible that only vibration components in the region of the vibration node are transmitted to the vibration absorber unit and damped there.
• the arrangement of the coupling element allows the transmission and thus the energy transfer of vibrations that have no vibration node in the region of the coupling element. All vibrations that have a vibration node in the region of the Kopp ment element are locked, that is not transmitted via the coupling element on the Schwingungstilgerü.
• the Schwingungstilgerhow thus forced oscillation is imposed, the vibra tion frequency differs from the natural frequency f or the operating frequency of Ultraschallschwingein unit. Due to the vibration of the Schwingungstilgeriens Schwingungsener energy is transmitted from the Schwingungstilgeriens on the damping element and transformed, for example, into heat energy.
• the present invention thus utilizes the knowledge that standing waves within an ultrasonic sounding unit with respect to different frequencies at different locations have nodes and antinodes.
• the described standing wave with nodes and vibra tion bellies is a physical ideal, which is not achieved in practice.
• regions with a minimum oscillation amplitude and preparation with maximum oscillation amplitude are formed.
• Under a vibration node in the sense of the prior invention is therefore always an area with a minimum vibration amplitude verstan the.
• the coupling element is to be connected to a vibration node with the Ultraschallschwingein unit, this only means that the coupling element should be arranged in a region with a minimum vibration amplitude.
• the coupling element in the direction of the standing wave has a finite extent and therefore can not attack punctiform on the ultrasonic vibration unit.
• the damping element of a different Mate rial than the Schwingungstilgeriens is preferably made of egg nem elastomer. It has been shown that elastomers are particularly well suited to effect the desired damping of the vibration damper unit. The use of an elastomer as a damping element is also both inexpensive and easy. A connection an elastomer with the Schwingungstilgerany can be realized for example by clamping or encapsulation.
• the damping element made of an elastomer has a contact surface via which it is in contact with the vibration absorber unit, wherein the contact surface is preferably> 2 cm 2 , more preferably> 10 cm 2 and most preferably> 20 cm 2 .
• a sufficiently large contact surface between the vibration absorber unit and an elastomer as described here ensures that the vibration energy from the vibration absorber unit can be efficiently transferred to the elastomer and converted by the latter into heat energy.
• the damping element made of an elastomer is arranged such that it exerts a force on the vibration absorber unit via said contact surface, wherein preferably the damping element exerts a force in the direction of the vibration absorber unit via the contact surface.
• the force transmission described here can be realized, for example, by means of clamping rings which press an elastomer onto or onto the vibration absorber unit.
• the vibration absorber unit has a mass which is ⁇ 10%, preferably between 1% and 8% and most preferably between 3% and 5% of the mass of the ultrasonic vibrating unit.
• the damping element is designed and arranged such that it damps the vibration absorber unit with a degree of damping between 5% and 50% and preferably between 7.5% and 20%.
• the degree of damping is a dimensionless quantity which represents a measure for the damping of the vibration absorber unit.
• the degree of damping is sometimes also referred to as damping measure or Lehrsches damping measure.
• the coupling element is arranged on the converter of the ultrasonic oscillating unit.
• the ultrasonic oscillating unit is designed such that a vibration node of the working oscillation lies in the region of the converter.
• the ultrasound vibration unit can form two vibration nodes and three vibration bellies, wherein a vibration node is arranged in the region of the converter and a vibration node in the region of the sonotrode.
• the arrangement of the coupling element at a vibration node, which lies in the region of the converter has the advantage that in this area the oscillation amplitude of the desired ultrasonic oscillation is less than in the region of the sonotrode, so that the energy transfer from the desired oscillation to the Schwingungstilgermaschine still is further reduced.
• the aim of coupling the damped Schwingungstilgeriens via a coupling element is to transfer as much energy from the parasitic oscillation to the Schwingungstilgerü and at the same time as little as possible to transmit vibration energy from the desired working vibration to the Schwingungstilgerany.
• the converter has a cylinder jacket-shaped outer surface and the coupling element is at least partially formed as a flange which is connected to the cylinder jacket-shaped outer surface of the converter.
• the flange is preferably formed integrally with the converter.
• the shape of the coupling element as a flange is an easy to manufacture and cost-effective variant.
• a flange is an ideal coupling element for coupling the converter to a cylindrical Schwingungstilger GmbH.
• the coupling element is designed such that it has a tent-shaped cross-section.
• the coupling element has three sections, namely a first radial section extending radially to the cylinder jacket axis, which matures on the converter, an axial section extending axially therefrom and a second radial section extending in the radial direction from the axial section.
• the Schwingungstilgerritt is connected to the converter and forms a converter housing, which surrounds the converter at its end facing away from the sonotrode.
• the converter housing has a housing bottom and a cylindrical housing wall, wherein the cylindrical housing wall is connected to the coupling element.
• the damping element is designed as a sleeve which surrounds the converter housing.
• the damping element is resiliently biased so that it exerts a force on the converter housing.
• an elastomeric sleeve can be used as a damping element, wherein the diameter of the elastomeric sleeve in the unexpanded state is smaller than the diameter of the cylindrical converter housing. If the elastomer sleeve is now slipped over the converter housing, a force from the elastomer acts on the converter housing due to the elasticity of the elastomer. Particularly advantageous in this embodiment is the ease of implementation.
• the damping element is disposed within the converter housing.
• the damping element in this case is either connected over the entire contact surface with the converter housing or is pressed by means of a clamping element to the converter housing.
• This embodiment has the advantage that the damping element itself is protected by the converter housing from the environment and thus environmental influences are minimized to the damping element.
• a damping element made of an elastomer is pressed by means of a clamping element against the inner wall of the converter housing, wherein the clamping element has a cone-shaped outer contour.
• the damping element is sleeve-shaped and has a conical inner contour, which is formed corresponding to the outer contour of the clamping element.
• a sleeve of elastomer and a metal sleeve with a cone-shaped outer contour can be used as a clamping element.
• the installation of such a solution proves to be easy and can be done as described below.
• Both sleeves are pushed into a cylindrically shaped converter housing, wherein the cylinder base must be opened for these purposes.
• the elastomeric sleeve is pushed in and then the metal sleeve, which presses due to the conical shape of its outer contour, the elastomeric sleeve against the inner wall of the converter housing.

• the converter 1 is vibration coupled with a sonotrode.
• the vibration coupling can take place either by the sonotrode adjoining the converter 1 on the right in FIG. 1 or the converter 1 being connected on its right side to an amplitude transformer, to which in turn the sonotrode is attached.

Within the ultrasonic vibration unit, zones with a minimum vibration amplitude and zones with a maximum vibration amplitude are formed. For clarity, a graph is shown above the representation of the converter, which shows the amount of vibra tion amplitude A on the longitudinal axis x.
• the position of the coupling element 3 according to the invention is chosen such that it coincides with the position of a vibration node. This ensures that no or almost no energy transfer for the desired ultrasonic vibration takes place via the coupling element on the Schwingungstilgerü. In the event that the ultrasonic vibrating unit has parasitic vibration components, these usually show no vibration node at the posi tion of the coupling element 3, so that for parasitic vibration components, a transfer of energy to the vibration absorber unit 2 takes place.
