After this, transfer the workpiece 10 of gauge head 36 changes becoming welding object, carry out image measurement, position revisal the workpiece 10 that has changed.Then, transfer 36 pairs of these workpiece 10 of gauge head with same order illuminating laser beam LB2.
Fig. 4 (b) expression is from the time waveform of laser beam beam emitter 35 emitting laser bundle LB1.Fig. 4 (b) expression time on transverse axis, on the longitudinal axis, represent laser power.Also have, the pulse period of time T 1 expression laser beam LB1, between 2 indicating impulse cycles of time T and pulse period during (not outgoing laser beam LB1 during).For example, 1 pulse period T1 is 30 (msec).In addition, the laser beam LB1 of expression is by the laser beam after the control of the control device in the laser beam beam emitter 35 among Fig. 4 (b).
In the 1st embodiment, with the time-independent laser beam LB1 of the laser power in 1 pulse period T1 shown in Fig. 4 (b), promptly the uniform laser beam LB1 of laser power carries out welding.Also have, carry out welding with laser beam LB1 with appropriate laser power (being the sufficient laser power of fusion lid 10a) for welding workpiece 10.This is for welding lid 10a equably, in other words, and in order to make the weld mark that on lid 10a, forms even.
The concrete example of the control method that the control device in the laser beam beam emitter 35 carry out here, is described for from the above-mentioned laser beam LB1 of laser beam beam emitter 35 outgoing.
In 1 example, the control device in the laser beam beam emitter 35 monitor from oscillator emitting laser bundle, carry out the control of oscillator etc. based on the laser beam that is monitored.That is, control device carries out FEEDBACK CONTROL to the laser power of laser beam.Specifically, control device is controlled oscillator etc., and making finally becomes the sufficient laser power of fusion lid 10a from laser beam beam emitter 35 emitting laser bundle LB1, and makes the laser power in 1 pulse period become even.
In other examples, the control device in the laser beam beam emitter 35 are not that laser power is carried out FEEDBACK CONTROL, but control, and make the peak value part of the laser beam that vibrated from oscillator as laser beam LB1 and outgoing.With Fig. 5 this control method is described.Fig. 5 (a), Fig. 5 (b) expression time on transverse axis, on the longitudinal axis, represent laser power.Particularly, the basic laser beam that vibrated from oscillator of Fig. 5 (a) expression.As can be seen, the laser beam that has vibrated from oscillator rises with quite anxious slope thus, and laser power adds cataclysm when descending.Control device in the laser beam beam emitter 35 is controlled, the peak value part of the feasible laser beam of representing from 35 outgoing dashed region 74 of laser beam beam emitter.Particularly, control device carries out making the laser beam with the laser power more than the laser power of representing with dotted line 75 among Fig. 5 (a) from 35 outgoing of laser beam beam emitter with the control of shearings such as shutter from oscillator emitting laser bundle.Laser beam after Fig. 5 (b) expression is controlled by control device is promptly finally from laser beam beam emitter 35 emitting laser bundle LB1.In this occasion, become pulse period T1 during the laser beam LB1 outgoing.

Also have, in the 1st embodiment, transfer gauge head 36 to begin the irradiation of laser beam LB1 with the position that has departed from the angle of lid 10a to a certain extent.In other words, the position of having departed from the end on the limit (hereinafter to be referred as " welded edge ") in the welding zone 70 that constitutes workpiece 10 to a certain extent, the irradiation of beginning laser beam LB1.The reason of doing like this is as follows.From experiment as can be seen, near the tendency that has heat to accumulate the angle of welding, and near the tendency that the starting position of welding, has heat to accumulate.Therefore, in the 1st embodiment, in order to suppress so hot residual rightly, begin irradiation from the position of having departed from the angle (angle of welding) of lid 10a to a certain extent.For example, begin the irradiation of laser beam LB1 from the centre position of welded edge.
Here, related welding process of above-mentioned the 1st embodiment and the welding process that generally carries out are compared.Generally be by transferring gauge head while making posetionof weld move irradiated with pulse laser step by step by specified rate.In this occasion,,, perhaps increase the umber of pulse of irradiation so, just need to strengthen the laser power of unit pulse in order positively to carry out welding because pulse laser is an irradiating laser intermittently.Thereby, there is weld mark to become possibility big, that pay big heat to workpiece 10 integral body.By contrast, in the related laser welding method of the 1st embodiment, be in workpiece 10, to move, thereby compare that the heat in welding zone diminishes, so can reduce weld mark with the method for generally carrying out in the position that makes illuminating laser beam LB2 during 1 pulse period.Also have, the heat of paying to whole workpiece also can diminish, thereby can reduce the influence (can protect electronic unit 10c) that the electronic unit 10c in workpiece 10 pays owing to welding.
Having, in the related laser welding method of the 1st embodiment, is to move in workpiece 10 in the position that makes illuminating laser beam LB2 during 1 pulse period again, thus can to welding zone 70 need not the empty standard width of a room in an old-style house every and carry out welding equably, can improve workpiece 10 sealings.Also have, can finish welding in 1 pulse period, thereby can shorten the needed time of welding workpiece 10.
(the 2nd embodiment)
Secondly, the laser welding method that the 2nd embodiment of the present invention is related is described.In the 2nd embodiment, not that feasible welding to 1 workpiece 10 finishes during 1 pulse period, but make that towards the cycle this point is different with above-mentioned the 1st embodiment to the welding end of 1 workpiece 10 at rapid pulse.Specifically, in the 2nd embodiment, be that the position of illuminating laser beam LB2 on this welded edge is moved, make that at least the welding to 1 welded edge finishes.Particularly, in the 2nd embodiment, be the welding of during 1 pulse period, carrying out 1 welded edge, carry out welding with a plurality of pulse periods to 1 workpiece 10.
Fig. 6 is the figure of the laser welding method that is used to illustrate that the 2nd embodiment is related.Fig. 6 represents the top figure of workpiece 10,70 expression welding zones, shadow region.Also be to carry out the welding of workpiece 10 in this occasion by near the illuminating laser beam LB2 periphery of lid 10a.In the 2nd embodiment, during 1 pulse period, irradiation position is moved 1 welded edge.Specifically, in the initial pulse period, carry out welding, in the pulse period of back, carry out welding welded edge 77b to welded edge 77a.Afterwards, adopt and use the same method, carry out welding by the order of welded edge 77c, welded edge 77d.In this occasion, transfer gauge head 36 during 1 pulse period, the irradiation position that makes laser beam LB2 moves to the other end from 1 end of welded edge.Then, transfer the welded edge of gauge head 36 changes, by the pulse period of back, to the new welded edge illuminating laser beam LB2 that has changed as the welding object.Like this, 1 workpiece 10 is finished welding with 4 pulse periods.
Like this, the laser welding method related according to the 2nd embodiment also can reduce weld mark, and can reduce the heat of paying to whole workpiece.Also having, in the related laser welding method of the 2nd embodiment, is to change as the welded edge of welding object by each pulse period to carry out welding, thereby can suppress effectively near the angle that heat accumulates in lid 10a.
In addition, also the same in the 2nd embodiment with above-mentioned the 1st embodiment, control device in the laser beam beam emitter 35 is controlled, make to have to be welding workpiece 10 necessary laser powers, and make the laser power in 1 pulse period become even from laser beam beam emitter 35 emitting laser bundle LB1.
Also have, the order of carrying out the welded edge of welding reaches the direction that in 1 welded edge irradiation position is moved and is not limited to thing shown in Figure 6.That is, be not limited to the welded edge of adjacency is carried out welding in order, be not limited to make irradiation position to moving to the end position of the welding of 1 welded edge with to the adjacent direction in starting position of the welding of the welded edge of back.Also have, more than represented the example that during 1 pulse period, only 1 welded edge carried out welding but, in other examples, also can during 1 pulse period, carry out welding 2 welded edge.That is, can carry out welding with 2 pulse periods to 1 workpiece 10.
[assembling welding process in advance]
Here, the pre-assembling for lid 10a and packaging part 10b describes.In addition, in this manual, " pre-assembling " is meant carried out bonding in advance before lid 10a and packaging part 10b are sealed fully.
In the present embodiment, to being in the workpiece 10 under the state that lid 10a and packaging part 10b assembled in advance, be used for the welding (hereinafter referred to as " sealing welding ") that lid 10a and packaging part 10b are sealed fully.Specifically, before sealing welding, be used for assembling in advance the welding (hereinafter referred to as " assembling welding in advance ") of lid 10a and packaging part 10b.Particularly, assembling welding in advance is that the part in the zone on the lid 10a of sealed welding is carried out welding.
Assemble welding in advance and be the lid 10a that produces in order to prevent to seal welding and packaging part 10b position deviation, lid 10a cursory, the conveyance workpiece 10 of caused lid 10a and packaging part 10b such as melt the time vibration, impact the position deviation of caused lid 10a and packaging part 10b etc.That is, in the present embodiment, before the sealing welding, assemble welding in advance for the sealing welding of carrying out lid 10a and packaging part 10b rightly.
With Fig. 7 the pre-assembling welding process that present embodiment is related is described.The top figure of Fig. 7 (a) and Fig. 7 (b) expression workpiece 10.An example of the pre-assembling welding that Fig. 7 (a) expression laser beam or electron beam are related.In this occasion, assemble welding in advance to four jiaos point 40 illuminating laser beams or the electron beam of lid 10a.
The concrete example of the pre-assembling welding that the welding of Fig. 7 (b) expression eam welding constant resistance is related.In this occasion, on 2 limits 41 that face toward of lid 10a, carry out electric resistance welding.The pre-assembling welding on 2 limits 41 like this pushes welding by pair of rolls electrode etc. or the rolling welding forms.
In the welding of general bundle, before the sealing welding, do not carry out above-mentioned pre-assembling welding, but when sealing welding, use anchor clamps etc. to carry out the location of lid 10a and packaging part 10b and fixing, lid 10a extruding to packaging part 10b.In this occasion, be the outer peripheral portion of pinning lid 10a by anchor clamps, so need seal welding in the inboard of lid 10a.Thereby, in the method for using anchor clamps, needing the sealing-in amplitude (wall amplitude) of packaging part 10b sometimes, it is narrow that the internal volume of packaging part 10b will become, and is difficult to corresponding small-sized packaging part 10b, and perhaps the mark space of lid 10a narrows down.But also need installation exercise of anchor clamps etc.
By contrast, in the present embodiment, be that the workpiece 10 that has carried out pre-assembling welding is sealed welding, thereby the periphery (that is, not needing the part of guaranteeing that anchor clamps are pinned) of energy welding lid 10a, so the sealing-in amplitude of packaging part 10b can be narrower.Thereby, carry out internal volume that the related pre-assembling welding of present embodiment can guarantee packaging part 10b more greatly, can easily corresponding small-sized packaging part 10b, and the mark space of guaranteeing lid 10a is more greatly.Also have,, thereby do not need to carry out the installation exercise etc. of anchor clamps without anchor clamps.As mentioned above, the pre-assembling welding related according to present embodiment can seal welding rightly by easy operation.
In addition, assemble welding in advance and can be undertaken, also can assemble welding in advance by other devices by above-mentioned laser welding device 100, to laser welding device 100 supply with assembled welding in advance workpiece 10.Assemble the occasion of welding in advance at laser welding device 100, laser welding device 100 possesses the pre-assembling welding mechanism that carries out pre-assembling welding etc.
Also have, in the occasion of assembling welding with laser beam in advance, preferably, a little less than the laser power that the laser power settings of laser beam is set must be than the sealing welding time.This is in order positively to assemble welding in advance, and prevents to assemble in advance the related lid 10a of welding and dissolve too much.
[using the fixing means of magnet]
Here, describe for method with magnet fixed cover 10a on packaging part 10b.In the present embodiment, when sealing welding, by lid 10a being paid the related magnetic force of magnet on packaging part 10b fixed cover 10a, and on pallet 20 fixation workpiece 10.This is in order to make that in sealing lid 10a can not move with respect to packaging part 10b during welding, and lid 10a can not move with respect to pallet 20 because of laser beam.In addition, as mentioned above, sealing during welding workpiece 10 be in state after the pre-assembling welding, but, in the present embodiment, the fixing fixation workpiece 10 more really and on pallet 20 of lid 10a when making the sealing welding and packaging part 10b and fixing with magnet.For example, in sealing pre-assembled portion branch fusion during welding, thereby lid 10a just moves easily with respect to packaging part 10b, and fixes with magnet, just can suppress so mobile really.Also have, workpiece 10 moves with respect to pallet 20 in the time of suppressing the sealing welding.
Fig. 8 is the figure of the fixing means that is used to illustrate that magnet is related.The cutaway view (with the corresponding related cutaway view of line segment of cutting line B1-B2 among Fig. 3 (a)) of Fig. 8 (a) expression workpiece 10, pallet 20, magnetic bed 46 and stand 23.Be provided with a plurality of magnet 45 on the magnetic bed 46, be configured in pallet 20 times.A plurality of magnet 45 under pallet 20 is positioned in state on the magnetic bed 46, are arranged on the position that faces toward with lid 10a and packaging part 10b.Also have, magnet 45 has rectangular shape, and the size of magnet 45 and lid 10a and packaging part 10b's is big or small roughly the same.Have, magnet 45 is configured in and makes the center consistent location roughly of the center of workpiece 10 and magnet 45 under workpiece 10 is positioned in state on the pallet 20 again.
Lid 10a is made of above-mentioned metal material, thereby owing to magnet 45 is subjected to the magnetic force shown in the hollow arrow.By contrast, packaging part 10b is made of ceramic material, thereby not influenced by magnetic force.Therefore, lid 10a is subjected to magnetic force, thereby lid 10a is energized with respect to packaging part 10b, and lid 10a is fixed on the packaging part 10b, and lid 10a and packaging part 10b are fixed on the pallet 20.
Fig. 8 (b) is the figure that the arrow C direction from Fig. 8 (a) is seen magnetic bed 46, is the figure of an example of expression magnetic bed 46.Shown in Fig. 8 (b), make that the horizontal direction of direction and magnetic bed 46 of the axle that the N utmost point of magnet 45 and the S utmost point form is consistent and on magnetic bed 46, disposed magnet 45.Particularly, make the N utmost point of magnet 45 and the S utmost point in abutting connection with and at transverse direction distributed magnet 45, the same with transverse direction, also be to make the N utmost point of magnet 45 and the S utmost point at longitudinal direction in abutting connection with disposing.Distributed magnet 45 like this, will be roughly even at the magnetic force that the position (being the position of mounting workpiece 10) that faces toward with magnet 45 relates to, thereby on magnetic bed 46 during loading tray 20, can suppress workpiece 10 on the pallet 20 because magnetic force and counter-rotating etc.
In the welding of general bundle, do not carry out related fixing of magnet as described above 45, mechanically pin the method that lid 10a and packaging part 10b seal welding but adopt with anchor clamps.In this occasion, need have the anchor clamps of complicated shape (promptly to the suitable shape of the shape of lid 10a and packaging part 10b), and need when welding, make up these anchor clamps.Have, except with the fixing method of anchor clamps, pushing packaging part 10b with glass plate, to go up the method for the surface of the lid 10a that carries fixing be general the employing, but, in the occasion of this method of employing, need take time and energy and remove the filth of adhering on the glass plate again.
By contrast, in the present embodiment, not to adopt anchor clamps, glass plate but adopt magnet 45, thereby do not take time and energy, and can when the sealing welding, lid 10a be fixed on the packaging part 10b, and lid 10a and packaging part 10b are fixed on the pallet 20 by easy operation.Also have, in the occasion that adopts anchor clamps to fix, inboard illuminating laser beam of the lid 10a that need not pin to anchor clamps etc., thereby be difficult to the narrow small-sized packaging part 10b of corresponding sealing-in amplitude, and according to the fixing means of the related employing magnet 45 of present embodiment, not mechanically to fix (promptly directly not contacting lid 10a and packaging part 10b), thereby can not hinder the irradiation of laser beam, so can also the narrow small-sized packaging part of corresponding sealing-in amplitude.
[variation]
More than represented the embodiment that only lid 10a illuminating laser beam LB2 is carried out welding, and in other examples, can carry out welding lid 10a and packaging part 10b two sides while illuminating laser beam LB2.Specifically, in variation, be on lid 10a and packaging part 10b two sides, to form the related bundle spot of laser beam LB2 to carry out welding.

The cutaway view of Fig. 9 (b) expression cutting line D1-D2 in Fig. 9 (a), the state before the expression lid 10a fusion.On the other hand, the cutaway view of Fig. 9 (c) expression cutting line D1-D2 in Fig. 9 (a), the state after the expression lid 10a fusion.From Fig. 9 (c) as can be seen, as shown in arrow 49, the angle that the end of the periphery of lid 10a forms is understood fusion and is become round.In this occasion, the Ni plating on the side 10aa of lid 10a can fusion.On the other hand, packaging part 10b is owing to laser beam LB2 irradiation is heated, and 10ab transmits this heat to the bottom surface of lid 10a.The occasion of lid 10a illuminating laser beam LB2 is compared the Ni plating fusion immediately on the bottom surface 10ab of lid 10a like this, with only.
Like this, lid 10a and packaging part 10b two quadratures are penetrated laser beam LB2, the side 10aa of lid 10a and the Ni plating fusion effectively on the 10ab of bottom surface.In this occasion, the area at the welding position of lid 10a and packaging part 10b will enlarge.Also have, because packaging part 10b is heated self, the wetting quality of the sealing surface of packaging part 10b will improve.As mentioned above, the laser welding method related, welding lid 10a and packaging part 10b really according to variation.Have again, the laser welding method related according to variation, can utilize temperature to the related packaging part 10b of packaging part 10b direct irradiation laser beam LB2 to rise and come the bottom surface of fusion lid 10a, thereby can reduce the power output of laser beam beam emitter 35 emitting laser bundle LB1.
Also have, the laser welding method related according to variation can suppress the thermal diffusion on the lid 10a, thereby can be used for welding to the rising of the temperature of the related lid 10a of laser beam LB2 effectively.Therefore, can reduce the power output of laser beam beam emitter 35 emitting laser bundle LB1.
In addition, in the occasion that adopts the related laser welding method of above-mentioned the 1st embodiment, preferably use the related laser welding method of variation in the lump.In the related laser welding method of the 1st embodiment, be that the irradiation position of laser beam LB2 is moved, make and circle near irradiation position during 1 pulse period (corresponding) periphery of lid 10a with the welding zone 70 among Fig. 4 (a).In this occasion, near to the angle of lid 10a during illuminating laser beam LB2 (change make direction that irradiation position moves time), owing to make the characteristic of the motor that the speculums transferred in the gauge head 36 rotate, the track of irradiation position will be crooked.On the other hand, lid 10a is because on making, it is round that the angle will become.According to the above, the laser welding method that adopts the 1st embodiment to relate to, and adopt the related laser welding method of variation to lid 10a and packaging part 10b two square bunchy spots, just can be near the illuminating laser beam LB2 rightly angle of lid 10a, thereby can carry out welding along the periphery of lid 10a effectively.
As mentioned above, the laser welding device that present embodiment relates to is that the workpiece illuminating laser beam that possesses lid and packaging part is carried out welding and seals the device of workpiece, possesses: by the laser beam outgoing portion of given pulse period outgoing laser beam; And the laser beam of having accepted from the outgoing of laser beam outgoing portion, the accent gauge head of the position of change illuminating laser beam transfers gauge head to move and contunuous wedling in above-mentioned workpiece in the position that makes illuminating laser beam during 1 pulse period.So just weld mark can be reduced, and influence that the electronic unit in the workpiece is paid can be suppressed.
