Publication number: 20250196252Abstract: An ultrasonic welding machine, which is configured as: driving a triple assembly (2) to move in a Z direction by a multi-position cylinder (4) disposed on the ultrasonic welding machine, so as to achieve graded down pressing of a welding head (21) to prevent the workpiece to be welded from damage caused by possible situations where the welding head (21) first moves to a working position while a welding seat (3) has not reached a supporting position, which is due to the inability to strictly control the order of arrival at the working position of the welding head (21) and the welding seat (3) when the welding head (21) and the welding seat (3) move towards the working position simultaneously. An ultrasonic welding method is further related. The welding method using the ultrasonic welding machine significantly improves efficiency while ensuring welding quality.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 14, 2022Publication date: June 19, 2025Inventors: Hongjian ZHOU, Xinhua SHI
