Description
Verfahren zur Steuerung und Regelung der beim Fügen vonMethod for controlling and regulating the joining of
Thermoplasten mittels Ultraschall benötigten elektrischen Leistung Beim Schweißen, Nieten, Einbetten, Verdämmen und Bördeln im im folgenden zusammengefaßt Fifgen genannt - von verstärkten oder unverstärkten thermoplastischen Werkstoffen mittels Ultraschall wird ein genau definiertes Quantum an thermischer Energie zum Aufschmelzen des Werkstoffes in der Fügeebene benötigt.Thermoplastics using ultrasound require electrical power When welding, riveting, embedding, damming and flanging are summarized below Called Fifgen - of reinforced or unreinforced thermoplastic materials by means of ultrasound, a precisely defined quantum of thermal energy is used Melting of the material in the joining plane is required.
Diese Energiemenge ist abhängig u.ae von Form und Abmessung der zu fügenden Bauteile, von der chemischen Beschaffenheit der Werkstoffe und von der Art des Fügevorganges selbst.This amount of energy depends, among other things, on the shape and dimensions of the to joining components, the chemical nature of the materials and the Type of joining process itself.
Beim Fügen mittels Ultraschall wird diese Energie derart erzeugt, daß mittels einer schwingungserregenden Sonotrode eine Ultraschallschwingung von vorgegebener Fre--quenz für eine eingestellte Zeitdauer in die zu fügenden Teile eingekoppelt wird. Hierzu wird die schwingende Sonotrode hydraulisch oder pneumatisch mit einem vorgegebenen Druck auf die Fügeteile aurgepreßt, die ihrerseits in einer Aufnahmevorrichtung (Amboß) und gegenseitig durch entsprechende Konturen fixiert sind0 Die eingekoppelte Schwingung durchläuft die Fügeteile und erzeugt eine mechanische Schwingungs die an den Kontaktflächen zu einer spontanen lokalen Erwärmung führt, so daß konstruktiv vorgegebene Bereiche der Fügefläche (Energierichtungsgeber) plastifiziert werden und die Teile sich so miteinander verbinden.When joining using ultrasound, this energy is generated in such a way that that by means of a vibration-generating sonotrode, an ultrasonic vibration of specified frequency for a set period of time into the parts to be joined is coupled. For this purpose, the vibrating sonotrode is hydraulic or pneumatic aurgepreitzt with a predetermined pressure on the parts to be joined, which in turn in a Holding device (anvil) and mutually fixed by appropriate contours sind0 The coupled vibration runs through the parts to be joined and generates a mechanical one Vibration that leads to spontaneous local heating on the contact surfaces, so that structurally predetermined areas of the joining surface (energy directors) are plasticized and the parts connect to each other in this way.
Dies gilt mit Ausnahme kleiner verfahrensspezifischer Varianten für praktisch alle vorgenannten Verbindungs- methoden. Es hat sich gezeigt, daß zur Erzielung optimaler und reproduzierbarer Fügenahtfestigkeiten eine genaue Dosierung der beim Fügevorgang umzusetzenden Schwingungsenergie notwendig ist, da ein Überschuß an eingeleiteter Energie sich genauso nachteilig auswirken kann wie eine zu gering bemessene Energierate.With the exception of small process-specific variants, this applies to practically all of the aforementioned connection methods. It has shown, that to achieve optimal and reproducible joint strengths an exact Dosing of the vibration energy to be converted during the joining process is necessary because an excess of introduced energy can be just as detrimental as an insufficiently rated energy rate.
Es war daher die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, die für den Fügevorgang notwendige Schwingungsenergie in ihrem zeitlichen Verlauf reproduzierbar zu erfassen und zu beeinflussen.It was therefore the object of the present invention that for the joining process to record the necessary vibration energy reproducibly in its temporal course and influence.
Diese Aufgabe wird durch die Merkmale der Patentansprüche gelöst.This object is achieved by the features of the patent claims.
Die Erfindung wird nachstehend anhand der Zeichnung näher erläutert.The invention is explained in more detail below with reference to the drawing.
Zunächst wird während eines Fügevorgangs die vom Konver#-ter 4 aufgenommene elektrische Leistung mit einem speziellen Leistungsmesser 7 gemessen und in ihrem zeitlichen Verlauf mit einer einmal empirisch ermittelten Sollkurve 5 verglichen. In diesem Konverter 4 wird die aufgenommene elektrische Leistung in eine Ultraschallschwingung umgesetzt.First of all, the one recorded by the converter # -ter 4 is recorded during a joining process electrical power measured with a special power meter 7 and in their The time course is compared with an empirically determined nominal curve 5. In this converter 4, the electrical power consumed is converted into an ultrasonic oscillation implemented.
Die aus diesem Vergleich resultierenden positiven oder negativen Abweichungen des Istwerts der Leistung von ihrem Jeweiligen Sollwert und Verlauf verändern den für den Fügevorgang notwendigen Druck der Sonotrode 1 auf die in einem Amboß 3 gelagerten Fügeteile 2. Der Druck wird in an sich bekannter Weise durch ein Stellventil 8 sowie einen Maschinenzylinder 9 erzeugt, so daß immer eine optimale Kopplung zwischen der schwingenden Sonotrode 1 und dem Fügeteil 2 hergestellt wird.The positive or negative deviations resulting from this comparison of the actual value of the power from its respective setpoint and course change the The pressure of the sonotrode 1 required for the joining process on the one mounted in an anvil 3 Joining parts 2. The pressure is in a manner known per se by a control valve 8 and a machine cylinder 9 generated, so that there is always an optimal coupling between the vibrating sonotrode 1 and the joining part 2 is produced.
überraschend wurde gefunden, daß auch der während des Fügevorgangs von der Sonotrode 1 zurückgelegte Stellweg 11 ein Maß für die Güte des Fügeergebnis#es darstellt.Surprisingly, it was found that also during the joining process Travel distance 11 covered by sonotrode 1 is a measure of the quality of the joining result # es represents.
Es wird daher erfind;ungsgemäß dieser Stellweg 11 mit einem elektrischen Wegaufnehmer 10 gemessen, in einem Differenzverstärker 13 mit einer einmal empirisch ermittelten Sollwertvorgabe 12 verglichen und mit den hieraus resul--tierenden positiven oder negativen Abweichungen der Druck der Sonotrode 1 in geeigneter Weise durch die Mittel 8, 9 beeinflußt0 Wie bereits erwhnt, ist für die Qualität eines Fügeergebnisses das Maß der Schwingungsenergie von ausschlaggebender Bedeutung. Diese Energie ist definitionsgemäß dem Zeitintegral der umgesetzten elektrischen Leistung proportional# Es werden daher die von dem vorab erwähnten Leistungsmesser 7 erfaßten Augenblickswerte der elektrisehen Leistung in einem elektronischen Integrator 6 über die Zeit des Fügevorgangs aufsummiert und als Qualitätskriterium für das Fügeergebnis in Zahlenform ausgegeben0 Zeichn.According to the invention, this adjusting path 11 is therefore provided with an electrical Displacement transducer 10 measured in a differential amplifier 13 with a once empirical The setpoint specification 12 determined and compared with the positive resultant values or negative deviations in the pressure of the sonotrode 1 in a suitable manner the means 8, 9 influences0 As already mentioned, is for the quality of a joining result the amount of vibration energy is of crucial importance. This energy is by definition proportional to the time integral of the converted electrical power # It therefore becomes the instantaneous values detected by the aforementioned power meter 7 the electrical power in an electronic integrator 6 over the time of Joining process summed up and as a quality criterion for the joining result in numerical form output0 draw.
