Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An ultrasonic welding method for conductors is provided that is capable of suppressing occurrence of insufficient weld strength and a separation which may occur when terminals of a wires are ultrasonically welded. In a wire arranging step, wires are arranged in accordance with a predetermined arrangement. In a conductor moving step, conductors ( 2 ) are pressed in a predetermined direction by a grinding jaw ( 12 ), and thereby relative positions among the conductors ( 2 ) are changed. In a first ultrasonic welding step, ultrasonic welding is performed on the conductors ( 2 ) in a state of being pressed by the grinding jaw ( 12 ). In a second ultrasonic welding step, the pressing applied by the grinding jaw ( 12 ) is released, and ultrasonic welding is performed on the conductors ( 2 ).
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. An ultrasonic welding method of connecting conductors of a plurality of wires to one another, the conductors being exposed by partially removing insulating coatings from the plurality of wires, the method comprising: a wire arranging step of arranging the plurality of wires in accordance with a predetermined arrangement; a conductor moving step of pressing the conductors in a predetermined direction to thereby change relative positions of the conduct…
