1 to 7, a deposition apparatus 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention may include a plurality of light source modules 200 including a light source 250 and a reflector 220, And thus may include a plurality of light sources 250 and a plurality of reflectors 220.

Here, the plurality of reflectors 220 are each formed with a reflection surface 222 having a radius of curvature in the horizontal direction and the vertical direction, respectively, and the light sources 250 may be disposed at positions facing the respective reflection surfaces 222 .

Accordingly, the plurality of reflectors 220 may be provided in a number corresponding to the number of the plurality of light sources 250. Light generated from the plurality of light sources 250 may be reflected by the reflecting surfaces 222 of the reflectors 220, and then condensed to a single focal point.

For reference, as the light source 250 applied to the deposition apparatus 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention, a halogen material is injected into the glass bulb to further suppress the evaporation of tungsten, thereby emitting brighter and brighter light than incandescent bulbs A long halogen lamp, a small size, and a light halogen lamp can be applied.

In the deposition apparatus 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention, all three light sources 250 are provided, and accordingly, all three reflectors 220 may be provided. Therefore, when three reflectors 220 are provided because the reflection surfaces 222 of the reflectors 220 are in contact with each other at the same angle, the neighboring reflectors 220 can each attain 120 degrees.

The reflecting surfaces 222 of the reflectors 220 are in surface contact with each other to form a single reflecting surface 222, (See Figs. 5 and 6)

The light emitted from each light source 250 is reflected by the reflecting surfaces 222 of the respective reflectors 220 and then passes through the light passing holes (not shown) It can be condensed.

As shown in FIG. 3, flanges 210 are provided on the outer sides of the portions of the plurality of reflectors 220 opposed to the portions where the reflecting surfaces 222 are formed. The flanges 210 are formed as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 As shown, by being coupled by one connection bracket 122, a plurality or three reflectors 220 can be joined together in the lateral direction.

The connecting bracket 122 is coupled to the arm member 110 by the upper end of the connecting shaft 120 so that the plurality of reflectors 220 It is possible to move up, down, left, and right simultaneously in one set.

A plurality of light sources 250 may be arranged to penetrate each reflector 220 so as to face each of the reflective surfaces 222 of each reflector 220, Likewise, each of the light sources 250 may be coupled to the sockets 240, respectively. In this case, the light source 250 and the socket 240 are heated by the light generated from the light source 250, and if the heat generation amount is large, the life of the light source 250 and the socket 240 may be shortened, A heat dissipating fan 260 may be installed on one side of the socket 240 to dissipate the generated heat to the outside.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 and 5 to 7, a heat radiating fan (not shown) for discharging heat generated from the light source 250 to the outside of any of the circumferential surfaces of the reflector 220, (270) may be further provided.

7, a communication hole 202 for communicating with a space where the light source 250 is disposed is formed at one side of the circumferential surface of the reflector 220, and a seating groove 204 (see FIG. 7), which is in communication with the communication hole 202, And a heat dissipating fan 270 may be installed in the mounting recess 204. [

A controller (not shown) for controlling on / off of the light sources 250 or controlling on / off of the heat dissipation fans 260 and 270 may be disposed on the arm member 110. The controllers and the light sources 250 And the heat dissipation fans 260 and 270 may be electrically connected to each other by electric wires or the like that can pass through the connection bracket 122. [

The operation of the deposition apparatus 100 having the above-described structure will be schematically described below.

First, when the welding apparatus 100 constituting one set is moved to the set position by the upward / downward / leftward / right movement of the arm member 110 and then the respective light sources 250 are turned on by the control signal of the controller, The light generated from each light source 250 is reflected by each reflection surface 222 of the reflectors 220, passes through the light passing holes, and converged in the vicinity of the focal point, which is the fusion point.

As the fusion point is melted due to the heat generated by the condensed light, the different synthetic resin products can be bonded like a single product.

At this time, when the amount of heat generated by the light generated from the light sources 250 is equal to or greater than the set value, the controller applies a driving signal to each of the heat dissipation fans 260 and 270. When the heat dissipation fans 260 and 270 are driven, The heat generated from the light source 250 is emitted to the outside so that the light source 250 can maintain its service life and function.

The deposition apparatus 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention having the above-described structure may be configured such that deposition is performed according to positions of the centers of the light sources 250 with respect to the respective reflection surfaces 222 of the reflectors 220, The luminous intensity value generated in the vicinity of the focus, which is a point, can be greatly changed.

For example, in order to satisfy the deposition rate of 30 mm / s in the welding of the PMMA material and the ABS material among the different synthetic resin products, a luminous intensity value of at least 20,000 cd is required near the focal point.

That is, when the luminous intensity value at the focal point near the focal point is less than 20,000 cd, the PMMA material and the ABS material are not properly welded. As described above, with respect to each reflection surface 222 of each reflector 220 Depending on the position of each light source 250, the luminous intensity value generated near the focal point, which is the welding point, can be 20,000 cd or more, and conversely, less than 20,000 cd.

The deposition apparatus 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention is configured to measure the reflectance of each of the light sources (i.e., the light sources) with respect to each reflection surface 222 of each reflector 220 so that the light intensity value generated near the focal point, 250 are arranged in a range of positions.

FIG. Fig.

As described above, a halogen lamp may be used as the light source 250 in the deposition apparatus 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention, and different light sources may be applied to the halogen lamp as an output reference.

In a welding apparatus 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention, a light source having a relatively low output relative to an output is referred to as a first light source, and a light source having a relatively high output as compared with the first light source is referred to as a second light source And a difference in luminous intensity value was tested according to the linear distance between the respective light sources 250 and the curvature radius formed on the reflection surface 222 of the reflector 220 in the state where the first light source and the second light source were applied .

In addition, a range exceeding the minimum light quantity of 20,000 cd was experimentally measured according to the line distance between the light source 250 and the radius of curvature formed on the reflection surface 222 of the reflector 220.

First, as a result of measuring a difference in luminous intensity value reflected by the reflecting surface 222 of the reflector 220 according to the straight line distance X ₁ from the center of the first light source to the reflecting surface in the direction perpendicular to the optical axis, And the highest luminance value was obtained when the linear distance (X ₁ ) was 15 mm.

In this case, when the center LC of the first light source is disposed at a position where the radius of curvature is 15 mm, which is the linear distance (X ₁ ) to the reflecting surface in the direction perpendicular to the optical axis direction, as shown in Figs. 8 and 11 The straight line distance Y ₁ between the first light source center LC and the center point RC at which the radius of curvature starts at the reflecting surface 222 of the reflector 220 was measured as 8.4 mm.

Therefore, when the straight line distance Y ₁ between the center LC of the first light source and the center point RC at which the radius of curvature starts at the reflecting surface 222 of the reflector 220 is 8.4 mm, the reflector 220 Was measured as shown in Table 1 below. The results are shown in Table 1 below. ≪ tb >< TABLE > Columns = 2 < tb >

The first light source Y ₁ (mm) X ₁ (mm) Efficiency range 8.4 13.5 X 13.8 X 14.1 X 14.4 O 14.7 O 15_ criteria O 15.3 O 15.6 O 15.9 X 16.2 X 16.5 X

The straight line distance (Y ₁ ) between the center LC of the first light source and the center point RC at which the radius of curvature starts at the reflecting surface 222 of the reflector 220, as shown in Table 1 and FIGS. 8 and 11, ) Is set to 8.4 mm, a position having a radius of curvature of 15 mm, which is a linear distance (X ₁ ) from the center LC of the first light source to the reflecting surface in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis direction, is used as a reference, The curvature radius of curvature, which is the straight line distance (X ₁ ) from the center of the first light source to the reflecting surface in the direction perpendicular to the optical axis direction, is changed by changing the curvature value of the reflecting surface 222 of the first light source 220 As a result, it can be seen that when the radius of curvature is 14.4 mm to 15.6 mm, which is the straight distance (X ₁ ) from the center of the first light source to the reflecting surface in the direction perpendicular to the optical axis direction, the measured luminous intensity value exceeds 20,000 cd there was.

Referring again to FIG. 9, when the radius of curvature is 14.2 mm or more, which is the straight line distance (X ₁ ) from the center of the first light source to the reflecting surface in the direction perpendicular to the optical axis direction, the measured luminous intensity value exceeds 20,000 cd , And it was confirmed that the measured luminous intensity value was less than 20,000 cd when the curvature radius was less than 14.2 mm, and the measured luminous intensity value when the curvature radius was greater than 15.7 mm was measured. And it was confirmed that it was less than 20,000 cd again.

In this way, with the straight line distance Y ₁ between the center LC of the first light source and the center point RC at which the radius of curvature starts at the reflecting surface 222 of the reflector 220 is determined to be 8.4 mm, It was confirmed that the luminous intensity value exceeded 20,000 cd when the radius of curvature (X ₁ ) from the center LC of the light source to the reflecting surface in the direction perpendicular to the optical axis direction was 14.2 to 15.7 mm, From the center LC of the first light source to the straight line distance Y ₁ between the center LC of the light source and the center point RC at which the radius of curvature of the reflecting surface 222 of the reflector 220 starts, It was confirmed that the ratio of the straight line distance (X ₁ ) to the reflection plane was a setting range of 8.4: 14.2 to 15.7, that is, 1: 1.69 to 1.87, which is the optimal setting range (rounded down to three decimal places)

That is, the optimal setting position at which the center LC of the first light source can be disposed is a distance (Y ₁ ) between the center point RC at which the radius of curvature starts at the reflecting surface of the reflector 220 is 1 , a linear distance (X ₁₎ with the reflector 220, the reflection surface 222 was found to be a position where the 1.69 ~ 1.87.

Therefore, when the center LC of the first light source is disposed at a position spaced by _one from the center point RC at which the radius of curvature of the reflector 220 starts to the straight line distance Y ₁ , The curvature radius of the reflecting surface 222 of the reflector 220 is designed such that the straight line distance X ₁ from the light source LC to the reflecting surface in the direction perpendicular to the optical axis is separated by 1.69 to 1.87, It was confirmed that light having a light intensity value exceeding at least 20,000 cd was focused around the focal point or the focal point.

On the other hand, the difference in luminous intensity value reflected by the reflecting surface 222 of the reflector 220 was measured according to the linear distance X ₂ from the center LC of the second light source to the reflecting surface in the direction perpendicular to the optical axis As a result, it was found that the highest luminance value was obtained when the straight line distance X ₂ was 20 mm.

In this case, when the center LC of the second light source is disposed at a position where the radius of curvature is 20 mm, which is the linear distance (X ₂ ) to the reflecting surface in the direction perpendicular to the optical axis direction, as shown in Figs. 8 and 11 The straight line distance Y ₂ between the second light source center LC and the center point RC at which the radius of curvature starts at the reflecting surface 222 of the reflector 220 was measured as 11.4 mm.

Therefore, in a state where the straight line distance Y ₂ between the center LC of the second light source and the center point RC at which the radius of curvature starts at the reflecting surface 222 of the reflector 220 is 11.4 mm, the reflector 220 Was measured as shown in Table 2 below as a result of measuring whether the curvature value of the reflective surface 222 of the reflective surface 222 of the reflective surface 222 was gradually increased or decreased.

The second light source Y ₂ (mm) X ₂ (mm) Efficiency range 11.4 18.5 X 18.8 X 19.1 X 19.4 O 19.7 O 20_ criteria O 20.3 O 20.6 O 20.9 O 21.2 X 21.5 X

The straight line distance (Y ₂ ) between the center LC of the second light source and the center point RC at which the radius of curvature starts at the reflecting surface 222 of the reflector 220, as shown in Table 2 and FIGS. 8 and 11, ) Was set at 11.4 mm and a position having a radius of curvature of 20 mm, which is a straight distance (X ₂ ) from the center LC of the second light source to the reflecting surface in the direction perpendicular to the optical axis, 220) of the reflecting surface 222 in accordance with changing the curvature values by varying the size of the curvature radius of a straight distance (X ₂₎ of the optical axis direction and the direction perpendicular to the reflecting surface from the center (LC) of the second light source, each light intensity As a result of measurement, when the radius of curvature is 19.4 mm to 20.0 mm, which is the linear distance (X ₂ ) from the center LC of the second light source to the reflecting surface in the direction perpendicular to the optical axis direction, the measured luminous intensity value is 20,000 cd Of the total.

Referring again to FIG. 10, when the radius of curvature is 19.3 mm or more, which is the linear distance (X ₂ ) from the center LC of the second light source to the reflecting surface in the direction perpendicular to the optical axis direction, cd, and it was confirmed that the measured luminous intensity value was less than 20,000 cd in case of less than 19.3 mm. When the measured luminous intensity value gradually increased as the radius of curvature became larger and then the curvature radius exceeded 20.9 mm, And the luminosity value was again found to be less than 20,000 cd.

In this way, with the straight line distance Y ₂ between the center LC of the second light source and the center point RC at which the radius of curvature starts at the reflecting surface 222 of the reflector 220 is determined to be 11.4 mm, It was confirmed that the luminous intensity value exceeded 20,000 cd when the radius of curvature was 19.3 to 20.9 mm, which is the linear distance (X ₂ ) from the center LC of the light source to the reflecting surface in the direction perpendicular to the optical axis direction, From the center LC of the second light source to the straight line distance Y ₂ between the center LC of the light source and the center point RC at which the radius of curvature of the reflecting surface 222 of the reflector 220 starts, It was confirmed that the ratio of the straight line distance (X ₂ ) to the reflection plane was 11.4: 19.3 to 20.9, that is, 1: 1.69 to 1.83 (rounded down to three decimal places)

That is, the optimum setting position at which the center of the second light source can be disposed is a reflector (e.g., a reflector) when the straight line distance Y ₂ from the center point RC at which the radius of curvature starts at the reflecting surface of the reflector 220 is 1 And the straight line distance (X ₂ ) with respect to the reflecting surface 222 of the reflecting surface 220 is 1.69 to 1.83.

Therefore, when the center LC of the second light source is disposed at a position separated by a linear distance from the center point RC at which the radius of curvature of the reflector 220 starts, The curvature radius of the reflecting surface 222 of the reflector 220 is designed such that the straight line distance X ₂ to the reflecting surface in the vertical direction is spaced by 1.69 to 1.83. When the reflector 220 designed in this way is applied, It was confirmed that light having a light intensity value exceeding at least 20,000 cd was focused around the focal point or the focal point.

The relatively thin line represents the luminous efficiency range of the light according to the first light source and the relatively thick line represents the luminous efficiency efficiency range according to the second light source. .

12, a welding apparatus 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a light source 250, which may be a first light source or a second light source, and a reflecting surface 222 of a reflector 220, When the ratio of the straight line distance from the center LC of the light source to the straight line distance Y from the center point CL to the straight line distance X from the optical axis direction to the reflecting surface is 1: 1.69 to 1.87, It is possible to easily weld the PMMA material and the ABS material while satisfying the deposition rate of 30 mm / s because the luminous intensity converged in the vicinity of the focus exceeds 20,000 cd.
