[First embodiment]
A first embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. As shown in FIG. 1, the heat transfer plate 1 according to the present embodiment is mainly composed of a base member 2 and a lid plate 5. The base member 2 has a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape. A concave groove 3 and a cover groove 4 are formed in the base member 2. The material of the base member 2 is not particularly limited as long as friction stirring is possible, but in this embodiment, it is an aluminum alloy.

  The concave groove 3 penetrates from one side surface toward the other side surface in the center of the base member 2. The concave groove 3 is recessed on the bottom surface of the lid groove 4. The bottom of the concave groove 3 has an arc shape. The opening of the concave groove 3 is opened to the surface 2 a side of the base member 2.

  The lid groove 4 is wider than the groove 3 and is formed continuously with the groove 3 on the surface 2 a side of the groove 3. The lid groove 4 has a rectangular shape in sectional view and is open to the surface 2a side.

  The lid plate 5 is a plate-like member that is inserted into the lid groove 4. In this embodiment, the cover plate 5 is formed of an aluminum alloy that is the same material as the base member 2. The lid plate 5 has the same shape as the hollow portion of the lid groove 4 so as to be inserted into the lid groove 4 without a gap.

  The pair of side walls of the lid groove 4 and the pair of side surfaces of the lid plate 5 are abutted to form the abutting portions J and J. The abutting portions J and J are joined by friction stirring over the entire length in the depth direction. A space surrounded by the groove 3 of the heat transfer plate 1 and the lower surface of the lid plate 5 is a flow path through which the fluid flows.

  Next, the manufacturing method of the heat exchanger plate which concerns on 1st embodiment is demonstrated. In the method for manufacturing a heat transfer plate, a preparation process, a cover groove closing process, a tab material arranging process, a temporary bonding process, and a main bonding process are performed.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the preparation process is a process of preparing the base member 2. First, the base member 2 is fixed to the gantry K via a clamp (not shown). Then, the concave groove 3 and the cover groove 4 are formed by cutting using an end mill or the like. In addition, you may use the base member 2 in which the ditch | groove 3 and the cover groove | channel 4 were formed previously by die-casting or extrusion molding.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the lid groove closing step is a step of inserting the lid plate 5 into the lid groove 4. The side wall of the lid groove 4 and the side surface of the lid plate 5 are abutted to form the abutting portions J and J. The upper surface of the cover plate 5 and the surface 2a are flush with each other.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the tab material arranging step is a step of arranging the tab materials 10 and 10 (see also FIG. 5) on the side surface of the base member 2. The tab material 10 is a member that sets a start position and an end position of friction stirring described later. The tab member 10 is in surface contact with the opposing side surfaces of the base member 2 and is disposed on the extended line of the abutting portions J and J. In this embodiment, the tab material 10 is formed of an aluminum alloy that is the same material as the base member 2. The tab material 10 is joined by welding the corners between the tab material 10 and the base member 2.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the temporary joining step is a step of preliminarily performing friction stir welding on the abutting portions J and J using the rotary tool F (temporary joining rotary tool). The rotary tool F includes a connecting portion F1 and a stirring pin F2. The rotary tool F is made of, for example, tool steel. The connecting portion F1 has a cylindrical shape and is a portion connected to a rotating shaft of a friction stirrer (not shown).

  The stirring pin F2 hangs down from the connecting portion F1 and is coaxial with the connecting portion F1. The stirring pin F2 is tapered as it is separated from the connecting portion F1. A spiral groove F3 is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the stirring pin F2. In this embodiment, in order to rotate the rotation tool F to the right, the spiral groove F3 is formed counterclockwise as it goes from top to bottom.

  In addition, when rotating the rotation tool F counterclockwise, it is preferable to form the spiral groove F3 clockwise as it goes from top to bottom. By setting the spiral groove F3 in this way, the metal plastically fluidized during friction stirring is guided to the tip side of the stirring pin F2 by the spiral groove F3.

  When performing temporary joining using such a rotating tool F, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the stirring pin F2 of the rotating tool F rotated to the right is inserted shallowly at a predetermined interval along the abutting portion J, Perform spot tacking. As a result, spot tacking regions W1 which are point-like plasticized regions are formed at predetermined intervals.

  As shown in FIG. 7, the main joining step is a step of performing friction stir welding on the abutting portions J and J using the rotary tool F (rotary tool for main joining). In the main joining process, the same rotary tool F as in the temporary joining process is used.

  Since the spiral groove F3 of the rotary tool F is set as described above, the metal fluidized plastically during the frictional stirring is guided to the tip side of the stirring pin F2 by the spiral groove F3. Thereby, the quantity of the metal which overflows to the exterior of a to-be-joined metal member (base member 2 and cover plate 5) can be decreased. Further, when performing friction stir welding using the rotary tool F, as shown in FIG. 7, only the rotated stirring pin F2 is inserted into the metal member to be joined, and the metal member to be joined and the connecting portion F1 are separated from each other. Move while moving. In other words, the friction stir welding is performed with the base end portion of the stirring pin F2 exposed.

  It is preferable to set the start position and the end position of the main joining process on the surface of the tab material 10. In the main joining step, friction stir welding is performed by tracing the abutting portion J. In the main joining step, it is preferable to insert the rotary tool F so that the tip of the rotary tool F reaches the bottom surface of the lid groove 4. Since the stirring pin F <b> 2 is longer than the depth of the lid groove 4, even if the tip of the stirring pin F <b> 2 reaches the bottom surface of the lid groove 4, the connecting portion F <b> 1 does not contact the base member 2 and the lid plate 5. That is, in the main joining step, the surfaces of the base member 2 and the cover plate 5 are not pressed by the lower surface of the connecting portion F1.

  A plasticized region W is formed on the movement locus of the rotary tool F. The distance between the abutting portion J and the groove 3 is preferably set so that the plastic fluid material does not flow into the groove 3 when the main joining process is performed. When the main joining process is completed, the tab material 10 is cut off from the base member 2.

  In addition, you may perform the burr cutting process which cuts the burr | flash produced by friction stirring after completion | finish of this joining process. By performing the burr cutting process, the surfaces of the base member 2 and the cover plate 5 can be smoothed.

  According to the method for manufacturing a heat transfer plate according to the present embodiment described above, spot tacking is performed in the temporary bonding process, so that the time required for the temporary bonding process can be shortened and the amount of heat input can be reduced. it can. Moreover, since only the stirring pin F2 is inserted into the base member 2 and the cover plate 5 in the temporary joining step, the amount of heat input can be further reduced. In addition, since only the stirring pin F2 is inserted into the base member 2 and the cover plate 5 in the main joining step, the heat input can be reduced. Thereby, the thermal distortion of the base member 2 and the cover plate 5 can be reduced synergistically.

  In addition, different rotary tools may be used in the temporary bonding process and the main bonding process, but by using the same rotating tool F as in the present embodiment, the rotary tool is replaced between the temporary bonding process and the main bonding process. Since it is not necessary, the working time can be shortened.

  Moreover, by performing a temporary joining process, the position shift of the base member 2 and the cover board 5 in a main joining process, and the opening of the butt | matching part J can be prevented.

  In addition, since only the stirring pin F2 of the rotary tool F comes into contact with the base member 2 and the cover plate 5 in the temporary joining process and the main joining process, compared with the case where the shoulder portion of the rotating tool F is pushed in. Thus, the friction between the base member 2 and the cover plate 5 and the rotary tool F can be reduced, and the load applied to the friction stirrer can be reduced.

[Second Embodiment]
Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described. The heat transfer plate according to the second embodiment is different from the first embodiment in that the heat transfer plate 6 shown in FIG. 9 is provided. The heat medium pipe 6 is a member through which a fluid flows.

Yes.

  The lid groove closing step is a step of inserting the lid plate 5 into the lid groove 4. The side wall of the lid groove 4 and the side surface of the lid plate 5 are abutted to form an abutting portion J. When the cover plate 5 is inserted into the cover groove 4, the heat medium tube 6 and the cover plate 5 come into contact with each other, and the surface 2 a of the base member 2 and the upper surface of the cover plate 5 are flush with each other.

  The temporary joining step is a step of performing preliminary joining to the abutting portion J. The temporary joining step is performed in the same manner as in the first embodiment.

This joining process is performed in the same manner as the first embodiment. Plasticizing regions W and W are formed on the movement trajectory of the rotary tool F. The plasticized region W is formed over the entire length of the abutting portions J and J in the depth direction.

  The manufacturing method of the heat transfer plate according to the second embodiment can achieve substantially the same effect as the first embodiment. Further, the heat transfer plate 1A including the heat medium pipe 6 can be easily manufactured.

  For example, the shapes of the concave groove 3, the cover groove 4, the cover plate 5, and the heat medium pipe 6 according to the first embodiment and the second embodiment are merely examples, and may be other shapes. . Moreover, when a level | step difference arises between the surface 2a of the base member 2 and the surface of the plasticization area | region W after this joining process, overlay welding may be performed so that the said level | step difference may be filled up. Alternatively, a metal member may be disposed on the surface of the plasticized region W, and the metal member and the base member 2 may be friction stir welded with a rotary tool.

  Moreover, although the case where the cover groove | channel 4 was provided was illustrated in this embodiment, you may make it insert the cover board 5 directly in the concave groove 3, without providing the cover groove | channel 4. FIG.

  Moreover, as shown in FIG. 11, when the space | gap part Q is formed around the pipe | tube 6 for heat media, you may fill this space | gap part Q by this joining process. When the lid plate 5 is inserted into the lid groove 4 in the lid groove closing step, a gap Q is formed by the concave groove 3, the lower surface of the lid plate 5, and the heat medium pipe 6. In the main joining step, the plastic fluidized material formed by the rotary tool F is caused to flow into the gap Q. As a result, the gap Q around the heat medium pipe 6 is filled with metal, so that the heat conductivity between the heat medium pipe 6 and the cover plate 5 can be increased, and water tightness and air tightness can be further improved. Can be increased.

  A temporary joining process is a process of performing preliminary joining to superposition part J1 using rotary tool F (rotary tool for temporary joining). In the present embodiment, in the present embodiment, spot tacking is performed by inserting the agitation pins F2 shallowly at predetermined intervals along the overlapping portion J1 from each side surface of the metal members 31 and 32, and performing frictional agitation. As a result, spot tacking regions W1 that are point-like plasticized regions are formed at predetermined intervals along the overlapping portion J1.

  The main joining step is a step of performing friction stir welding on the overlapping portion J1 using the rotary tool F (rotary tool for main joining). In the present embodiment, the rotary tool F is inserted vertically from the surface 32 a of the metal member 32, and the tip of the stirring pin F <b> 2 is set to enter the metal member 31. Moreover, in this joining process, friction stirring is performed in the state which does not contact the connection part F1 with the metal member 32. FIG. Thereby, the composite plate 1D is formed.

  According to the friction stir welding method according to the fifth embodiment, spot tacking is performed in the temporary bonding process, so that the time required for the temporary bonding process can be shortened and the amount of heat input can also be reduced. Moreover, since only the stirring pin F2 is inserted into the metal members 31 and 32 in the temporary joining step, the amount of heat input can be further reduced. Moreover, since only the stirring pin F2 is inserted into the metal members 31 and 32 also in the main joining step, the heat input can be reduced. Thereby, the thermal distortion of the metal members 31 and 32 can be reduced synergistically.

  In addition, different rotary tools may be used in the temporary bonding process and the main bonding process, but by using the same rotating tool F as in the present embodiment, the rotary tool is replaced between the temporary bonding process and the main bonding process. Since it is not necessary, the working time can be shortened.

  Moreover, by performing a temporary joining process, the position shift of the metal members 31 and 32 in the main joining process and the opening of the overlapping portion J1 can be prevented.

  In addition, since only the stirring pin F2 of the rotating tool F comes into contact with the metal members 31 and 32 in the temporary joining process and the main joining process, the metal is compared with the case where the shoulder portion of the rotating tool F is pushed in. The friction between the members 31 and 32 and the rotary tool F can be reduced, and the load applied to the friction stirrer can be reduced.

  In the fifth embodiment, the main joining step may be performed using a tab material as in the first embodiment. Also, as shown in FIG. 18, when performing the main joining process, the tip of the stirring pin F2 is set so as not to reach the metal member 31, that is, the stirring pin F2 is set to contact only the metal member 32. Then, friction stirring may be performed. In such a case, the metal members 31 and 32 can be joined together by bringing the plasticized region W and the overlapping portion J1 into contact with each other. That is, the superposed portion J1 can be joined by plastic fluidizing the metal members 31 and 32 by frictional heat generated by the contact between the stirring pin F2 and the metal member 32.

  Further, the rotary tool F (a temporary tool for temporary bonding, a rotary tool for main bonding) may be attached to a robot arm provided with a rotation driving means such as a spindle unit. Thereby, workability | operativity can be improved.
