Abstract

The invention relates to a stamp-sealing unit comprising a punch designed as a sonotrode (8), and a die (5), said die (5) having an opening (15) and the punch being able to be moved in and out of the opening (15) in the stamping direction. The invention also relates to an ultrasonic processing device for stamping stamped parts out of a stamping material (2) and for sealing the stamped parts to unprocessed products (21).

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. Stamp-sealing unit with a punch formed as a sonotrode ( 8 ) and a die ( 5 ), wherein the die ( 5 ) has an opening ( 15 ) and the punch can be moved into and out of the opening ( 15 ) in the stamping direction, characterized in that a sonotrode plate ( 1 ) is provided with a sonotrode plate opening for accommodating the sonotrode, wherein the sonotrode ( 8 ) has a flange ( 10 ), and the sonotrode plate opening has an inner contour with a stop surface and the flange has an outer contour with a stop surface, wherein the two stop surfaces are formed corresponding to each other with the result that, when the sonotrode is accommodated in the sonotrode plate opening, the stop surfaces lie against each other, wherein the inner contour has an inner cone and the outer contour has an outer cone which is formed corresponding to the inner cone.

2. Stamp-sealing unit according to claim 1 , characterized in that the flange is designed circumferential.

3. Stamp-sealing unit according to claim 1 , characterized in that a clamping element ( 13 ) is provided, which comes into contact both with the sonotrode plate ( 1 ) and the flange, and is arranged such that it prevents a linear relative movement between flange and sonotrode plate ( 1 ).

4. Stamp-sealing unit according to claim 1 characterized in that the die ( 5 ) is fastened to a die plate ( 2 ) and the die plate ( 2 ) has a die plate opening into which the die ( 5 ) is inserted.

5. Stamp-sealing unit according to claim 4 , characterized in that the die plate opening has an inner contour and the die has an outer contour, wherein the outer contour of the die and the inner contour of the die plate are designed corresponding to each other.

6. Stamp-sealing unit according to claim 5 , characterized in that a die clamping unit is provided, which is preferably fastened to the die plate ( 2 ) with one or more screws ( 7 , 14 ) and is in contact, at least in sections, with the die ( 5 ).

7. Stamp-sealing unit according to claim 6 , characterized in that the die clamping unit has an opening ( 15 , 16 ) which is flush with the die opening.

8. Stamp-sealing unit according to claim 5 , characterized in that the inner cones of the sonotrodeplate ( 1 ) and the die plate ( 2 ) as well as the outer cones of sonotrode flange ( 10 ) and die ( 5 ) have the same cone angle in each case.

9. Stamp-sealing unit according to claim 1 , characterized in that the sonotrode plate is connected, via a straight guide, to the die ( 5 ) or the die plate ( 2 ) to which the die ( 5 ) is fastened, wherein the straight guide is preferably a column guide.

10. Stamp-sealing unit according to claim 9 , characterized in that the straight guide is a column guide and has at least two columns which are screwed to the die plate ( 2 ), and the sonotrode plate ( 1 ) has guide openings for accommodating the columns.

11. Stamp-sealing unit according to claim 1 , characterized in that the sonotrode ( 8 ) has a fluid channel with an inlet which is arranged on the surface of the sonotrode ( 8 ) facing the die ( 5 ), and an outlet which can be connected to a vacuum source and/or compressed air source.

12. Ultrasonic processing device for stamping stamped parts out of stamping material and for sealing the stamped parts to unprocessed products, characterized in that a stamp-sealing unit according to claim 1 is provided.

13. Ultrasonic processing device according to claim 12 , characterized in that a frame to which the die plate ( 2 ) is fastened, and a drive unit which engages on the sonotrode plate ( 1 ) and can move the latter relative to the die plate ( 2 ) are provided.

14. Ultrasonic processing device according to claim 12 characterized in that a feed of stamping material and a feed of unprocessed products are provided, wherein the feed of stamping material and the feed of unprocessed products are arranged on opposite sides of the die plate ( 2 ).

15. Stamp-sealing device according to claim 3 , wherein the clamping element ( 13 ) consists of a sleeve with a collar element, wherein the sleeve is positioned inside the sonotrode plate opening and the collar element is fastened to the sonotrode plate ( 1 ) preferably using one or more screws ( 7 , 14 ).

16. Stamp-sealing device according to claim 5 , wherein the inner contour of the die plate has an inner cone and the outer contour of the die ( 5 ) has an outer cone, wherein the outer cone of the die ( 5 ) is formed corresponding to the inner cone of the die plate opening.

17. Stamp-sealing device according to claim 6 wherein between die clamping unit and die ( 5 ), a gap ( 19 ) is formed in sections, for feeding in stamping material.

18. Stamp-sealing device according to claim 10 , wherein a guide sleeve ( 4 ) is arranged between the columns and the guide openings in each case.
