In an accordance with an exemplary embodiment, an energy director is provided for use in ultrasonic welding, the energy director including: a first raised region extending upward from a surface of a base of a component to be welded; and a second raised region extending upward from the first raised region; wherein the first raised region is disposed underneath the second raised region, such that when material of the second raised region melts, the material of the first raised region is not melted and maintains an adhesive bond line thickness. 根据一示例性实施例，提供了一种用于超声波焊接的能量引导器，该能量引导器包括：第一凸起区域，其从待焊接部件的基底的表面向上延伸；以及第二凸起区域，其从第一凸起区域向上延伸；其中第一凸起区域设置在第二凸起区域的下方，使得当第二凸起区域的材料熔化时，第一凸起区域的材料不熔化并且保持粘合剂结合线的厚度。
