WAVEGUIDE FOR PLASTIC WELDING, ARRANGEMENT FOR PLASTIC WELDING, A WELDING METHOD AS WELL AS A MANUFACTURING METHOD OF A WAVEGUIDE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240034003 titled 'WAVEGUIDE FOR PLASTIC WELDING, ARRANGEMENT FOR PLASTIC WELDING, A WELDING METHOD AS WELL AS A MANUFACTURING METHOD OF A WAVEGUIDE

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a waveguide for plastic welding that consists of an entry end, an exit end, and two inner faces. The inner faces are arranged opposite to each other and can reflect laser light. The distance between the entry and exit ends determines the length of the waveguide, while the distance between the inner faces determines its thickness. The first inner face has a continuously curved, concave shape, causing the distance between it and the central plane to vary continuously from the entry end to the exit end.

  • The waveguide is designed for plastic welding applications.
  • It has an entry end, an exit end, and two inner faces.
  • Laser light can be reflected within the waveguide.
  • The length of the waveguide is determined by the distance between the entry and exit ends.
  • The thickness of the waveguide is determined by the distance between the inner faces.
  • The first inner face has a continuously curved, concave shape.
  • The distance between the first inner face and the central plane varies continuously from the entry end to the exit end.

Potential Applications:

  • Plastic welding in manufacturing processes.
  • Joining plastic components in automotive, aerospace, and electronics industries.
  • Medical device assembly.
  • Packaging industry for sealing plastic containers.

Problems Solved:

  • Provides a controlled and efficient method for plastic welding.
  • Ensures precise reflection of laser light within the waveguide.
  • Allows for consistent and uniform welding of plastic materials.
  • Reduces the risk of defects or weak joints in plastic welding.

Benefits:

  • Improved welding accuracy and precision.
  • Enhanced productivity and efficiency in plastic welding processes.
  • Enables the welding of complex plastic components.
  • Reduces the need for additional adhesives or fasteners in plastic assembly.
  • Cost-effective and reliable method for joining plastic materials.


Original Abstract Submitted

a waveguide for plastic welding has an entry end, an exit end as well as a first and a second inner face arranged between the entry end and the exit end, which are arranged opposite to each other and by means of which laser light can be reflected. a first distance between the entry end and the exit end defines a length of the waveguide and a second distance between the first and the second inner face defines a thickness of the waveguide. the exit end may be arranged opposite to the entry end and a central plane of the waveguide may extend centrally from the entry end to the exit end. the first inner face comprises a continuously curved, concave shape so that a third distance between the first inner face and the central plane varies continuously from the entry end in the direction of the exit end.
