    Abstract: An ultrasonic horn reduces the likelihood of damaging a plurality of stacked sheets of metal foil when the stacked sheets and a metal member are ultrasonically bonded by applying ultrasonic vibration to the stacked sheets. An ultrasonic horn is used for ultrasonically bonding a plurality of stacked sheets of negative electrode foil and a negative electrode collector plate by applying ultrasonic vibration to the stacked sheets of negative electrode foil. The horn includes a horn body, a first protrusion having a first surface that is a curved surface and protruding from an opposing surface of the horn body facing the anvil toward the anvil, and a second protrusion provided at a center of the first surface of the first protrusion and protruding toward the anvil. The second protrusion includes an end surface that is a planar surface and a second surface connecting the end surface and the first surface.

    Abstract: A stir pin includes a base end portion configured to be held rotatably about a first axis, a stirring portion provided to project from a shoulder member to be rotatable about the first axis together with the base end portion, and an intermediate portion including a second portion connected to the stirring portion to be rotatable about the first axis together with the stirring portion and having a second diameter passing through the first axis, and a first portion provided between and connected to the base end portion and the second portion to be rotatable about the first axis together with the base end portion and the second portion. The first portion has an end surface to which the second portion is connected and which has a maximum diameter larger than the second diameter. The end surface has a ring-shaped receiving surface configured to receive a material waste.

    Abstract: In an ultrasonic joining apparatus according to the present disclosure, an ultrasonic joining apparatus control board controls an operation of a lead set unit and a tension adjustment unit including a dancer roller to perform joining tension control processing. The joining tension control processing includes steps of: making a lead wire housing mechanism perform a rewinding driving of rewinding a lead wire in a lead cassette when the dancer roller reaches a lower limit adjustment position in a tension adjustment range; and making the lead wire housing mechanism perform a delivery driving of sending out the lead wire from the lead cassette when the dancer roller reaches an upper limit adjustment position in the tension adjustment range.
