- the necessary heat is achieved by a high-frequency mechanical vibration, which arises between the components by molecular and boundary surface friction.
- the group of friction welding ultrasonic welding is characterized by very low welding times and high efficiency.
- high-frequency alternating current is generated by means of a generator and transmitted via a shielded cable to an ultrasonic transducer, the so-called converter, which generates mechanical ultrasonic frequency therefrom with the aid of the piezoelectric or magnetostrictive effect.
- These vibrations are transmitted to the sonotrode via an amplitude transformation piece.
- sonotrodes which are usually made of steel, aluminum or titanium.
- the amplitude of the oscillation and the impedance matching are influenced by the shape and mass of the amplitude transformation piece.
- FIG. 24 shows details of a sealing bar device 54 of a tape dispensing device 1 according to the invention formed from a plurality of ultrasonically adjustable sliding shoes 80 which can be controlled in a variable manner. It can be seen that the plurality of side-by-side sliding shoes 80, in particular with regard to consolidation parameters, are each designed to be controllable separately by means of a separate or control device 30.
- the lowermost and uppermost stacking layers 92 of a previously deposited tape structure 91 are never plasticized across their thickness in order not to jeopardize the dimensional accuracy of the laminate 90.
- the joining parameters ie the binder and / or matrix materials
- the joining parameters are preferably heated exclusively in all the contact surfaces 95 of two stacking layers 92 until they have been plasticized. If there is no joining zone 95 between two stacking layers 92, a connection remains (marked in FIGS. 23 and 26 as a contact clearance area 97).
- the compounds that is, as far as possible full-surface bonding or welding due to plasticization of the binder and / or matrix materials in, for example, all surfaces 96 of tape 93 to be deposited with the binder and / or matrix materials in joining zones 95 of the uppermost Tapelage 92 an already deposited tape structure 91, arises such that the near-surface binder and / or matrix materials in the molten or flowable state of aggregation due to plasticization completely connect and ideally polymer chains are partially entwined and / or form covalent bonds.
- FIG. 25 shows an ultrasonic sliding shoe 80 from FIG. 24 in an enlarged side view.
- the illustrated shoe 80 which can be found in individual or cumulative features of its embodiment detached from the present invention application, is characterized in particular by a zone 81 in the movement or sliding direction G short contact length 83 for coupling ultrasonic energy into the tape structure 91 from Tapelagen 92 and / or tape 93 and by at least one side in the direction of movement or sliding G subsequent long zone 82 for cooling the tape structure 91 of Tapelagen 92 and / or tapes 93.
- the contact surface 83 of the zone 81 of a shoe 80 for coupling of ultrasonic energy in the sliding direction G simply curved or circular segment-shaped, so that the contact surface 83 is greatly reduced almost to a linear blade ("similar to a circular segment-shaped blade").
- the contact pressure, the sliding speed and / or the ultrasound intensity can be controlled constant or variable by means of a separate or control device 30, in particular depending on the material properties and / or the temperature and / or thickness of an already deposited tape structure 91 Tapelagen 92 and / or tapes 93, in particular, the surface pressure on the US-coupling zone 81 and the subsequent cooling zone 82 may be controlled differently sized.
- an ultrasound gliding shoe 80 is preferred, which, for example, at its rear end, equipped with moving sensors (not shown), for example, by means of preferably obliquely coupled ultrasound (transmitter and receiver) checks the consolidation of the tape structure 91 on their quality and providing parameters to the controller 30 for adaptive control of the consolidation, such as, in particular, by changing the US intensity and / or the speed and / or the contact pressure.
- FIG. 26 shows the consolidation of the tape structure from FIG. 22 by means of a roller pair device 54 of a tape laying device 1 according to the invention.
- the use of an ultrasonically impinged pair of rollers is of particular interest in the manufacture of tailored blanks 91, in particular of constant thickness.
- the pair of rollers can be arranged, for example, on one longitudinal side of the laying table 61 and thus alternatively to the previously described consolidation by means of a welding bar device 53 via individual arranged in the rollers of the roller pair means 54 ultrasonic excitation means 30 in the cycle, a - substantially full-surface - welding by means of a continuous pass the tapestry 91 from juxtaposed and stacked stacking layers 92 and / or tapes 93, in particular when deducted from the laying table 61, achieved by the ultrasonically impinged pair of rollers.
- the binder and / or matrix materials are successively plasticized and consolidated in all the joining zones 95 adjoining each other in the cross-section Q brought to the ultrasound excitation device 50 and of all stacked layers 92 and / or tapes 93 of the tape structure 91 previously obtained to laminate 90, obtained from juxtaposed and stacked tape 93 tape structure 91 advantageously a total of an ultrasonic excitation device 50 are supplied.
- tapes 93 are advantageously constructed with high laying rates and consolidated with an interesting speed for series-compatible applications.
- the present invention permits the construction and consolidation of a laminate 90 at high lay rates and speed of interest for production applications.
- the present invention is particularly useful for industrial construction and consolidation of a laminate 90 for, for example, automotive components that are formed into the final component by a thermoforming process or in conjunction with a flowable fiber composite material in the extrusion or injection molding process.
