Abstract
Resins e.g. epoxy resins used as adhesives and casting resins are hardened by capacitive heating in a high frequency field such as is produced by, for example, a HF preheater or a microwave apparatus. The process is particularly advantageous in the glueing of headlamp parts, particularly for the glueing of diffusing lenses and reflectors for motor vehicle headlamps, thus avoiding excessive heating and thus possible distortion of the optically effective reflector.
Description
SPECIFICATION
Process for the Hardening of Reaction Resins
This invention relates to the hardening of reaction resins.
Reaction resins, such as are used in, for example, the form of reaction adhesives or casting resins, are hardened by heating them to, for example, approximately 1 400C in a corresponding oven. In the case of reaction adhesives, this has the disadvantage that the parts to be joined together are also heated to this temperature, so that inherent stresses can occur in the said parts after they have been cooled and lead to damage to the glued joint. Owing to the poor thermal conductivity of casting resin, a relatively long period of heating is necessary in the case of large parts made from casting resins in order to ensure that the part has actually hardened through. This can involve the disadvantage that the necessarily long period of heating can cause damage to components which are to be cast by means of casting resin.
According to the present invention there is provided a process for hardening a reaction resin which hardens at elevated temperatures wherein the hardening is effected by dielectric heating in a high frequency field, for example a high frequency field of from 10 to 5.103 MHz.
The reaction resin may be a reaction adhesive or a casting resin.
The invention includes a process for the glueing of headlamp parts wherein a reaction resin with which the parts are glued is hardened by dielectric heating in a high frequency field. The parts glued are preferably diffusing lenses and reflectors.
The process in accordance ith the invention, has the advantage that, in the case of reaction adhesives, the parts to be joined together are only heated by heat conduction from the adhesive, this temperature remaining low, particularly in the case of rapidly reacting adhesives, so that virtually no inherent stresses can occur in the parts to be joined,.and thus virtually no damage to the joint can occur. For the same reason, the adhesive can be brought to higher temperatures, so that the hardening process is effected far more rapidly, whereby the dwell times can be shortened by 50 to 70%, thus leading to reduced spatial requirements during manufacture. Furthermore, owing to the fact that virtually only the reaction adhesive is heated, the energy requirement is small and is only a third to a quarter of the energy requirement during conventional oven hardening.
The hardening time can be shortened to a considerable extent during the hardening of casting resin, since their entire volume is uniformly heated by the process in accordance with the invention, so that the casting resin can be uniformly hardened throughout.
The process in accordance with the invention has proved to be particularly successful for the glueing of headlamp parts, particularly for the glueing of motor vehicle headlamp diffusing lenses and reflectors which, nowadays, are predominantly supplied in a rigidly interconnected form. In this instance, in addition to shortening the hardening time and thus increasing the throughput, the low temperature of the reflector and of the diffusing lens during the hardening of the adhesive is particularly advantageous, so that, in contrast to conventional cooling in the case of oven hardening, glued joints which are more free from stress ensue after hardening, this being particularly advantageous in the case of optical parts.
The use of high frequency for dielectrical heating is known per se for the welding and preheating of hardenable moulding compounds.
However, the use of high frequency for the hardening of reaction resins has not yet been described.
Examples
In order to glue a headlamp diffusing lens made from glass or plastics material to a headlamp reflector made from metal or fibrereinforced plastics material, a reaction adhesive comprising 100 parts by weight of epoxide resin based on bisphenol A, 100 parts by weight of an amine hardener, and 0--800 parts by weight of silicic anhydride serving as a filler, is first mixed.
This reaction compound has a pot like of approximately 1 to 2 hours, so that it can be processed in a convenient manner. The reaction adhesive is applied to one or both of the surfaces; the parts are joined together and are then exposed to a HF field. Suitable generators for the high frequency are HF preheaters (27, 12 MHz) or preferably microwave apparatus (2450 MHz).
When using microwave apparatus, a dwell time of from 5 to 10 minutes is sufficient in the case of standard headlamps. Work can be carried out either intermittently (batch-wise), or, preferably, continuously according to the lay-out of the manufacturing plant.
By virtue of the process in accordance with the invention, the heat is produced directly in the reaction substance itself. Compared with conventional processes, this energy is introduced into the substance in a concentrated form in a very short time. Higher temperatures then occur in the adhesive, thus resulting in more rapid hardening.
The adhesive strengths obtained are comparable with those obtained by oven hardening.
