Description

本発明は、レーザ光に対して透過性のある樹脂材と吸収性のある樹脂材からなり、透過性樹脂材越しにレーザ光を照射することで吸収性樹脂材を発熱させ、その熱により樹脂材を溶融することで両者を溶着する樹脂材のレーザ溶着方法に関する。   The present invention comprises a resin material that is transmissive to laser light and a resin material that is absorptive, and heats the absorbent resin material by irradiating the laser light through the transmissive resin material. The present invention relates to a laser welding method for a resin material in which both materials are welded by melting the material.

従来より、レーザ光に対して透過性のある樹脂材と吸収性のある樹脂材とを重ね合わせて、その接合部に透過性樹脂材越しにレーザ光を照射することで、吸収性樹脂材を発熱させ互いを溶融することで両者を溶着するレーザ溶着は、知られている。このようなレーザ光による樹脂材の溶着技術は、レーザの低価格化とともに、製品の小型化、コストダウン及び高信頼性のニーズへの貢献が期待されている。またこのレーザ溶着工法は、従来の工法と比較して非接触、3次元加工が可能となることから、従来採用が飛躍的に増加するものと考えられている。   Conventionally, an absorptive resin material is obtained by superimposing a resin material that is permeable to laser light and an absorptive resin material, and irradiating the joint portion with laser light through the transmissive resin material. Laser welding is known in which both are generated by generating heat and melting each other. Such a technique for welding a resin material using laser light is expected to contribute to the needs for downsizing, cost reduction, and high reliability of the product as well as lowering the price of the laser. Further, this laser welding method is considered to increase dramatically in the number of conventional applications since non-contact and three-dimensional processing is possible as compared with conventional methods.

従来の樹脂材の溶着方法は、図(a)、(b)に示されるように、透過性樹脂材22と吸収性樹脂材21との接合部に単一光のレーザ光Lを逐次照射して溶着Mする方法か、或いは、特許文献1に示されるようにレーザ光を2方向又はそれ以上の多方向から接合部に集光されるように照射して溶着する方法が用いられている。   As shown in FIGS. 1A and 1B, a conventional resin material welding method sequentially irradiates a single laser beam L to a joint portion between a transparent resin material 22 and an absorbent resin material 21. A method of welding M, or a method of welding by irradiating a laser beam so as to be focused on the joint from two or more directions as shown in Patent Document 1 is used.

しかしながら、上記した従来技術のレーザ溶着方法では、溶融して流動性のある樹脂が溶着部以外にはみ出す(バリとなって出る)ことで、溶融内部の圧力が抜け、引け巣やボイド等の空隙が発生するという問題があった。この問題を回避するために、両樹脂材の継ぎ手形状で溶着部を閉空間とする方法も考えられるが、この場合は、部品精度の悪い成形材料で寸法精度を確保することが難しい。   However, in the above-described conventional laser welding method, the melted and fluid resin protrudes out of the welded portion (out of burrs), so that the pressure inside the melt is released and voids such as shrinkage nests and voids are generated. There was a problem that occurred. In order to avoid this problem, a method of confining the welded portion with the joint shape of both resin materials is also conceivable. However, in this case, it is difficult to ensure dimensional accuracy with a molding material with poor component accuracy.

本発明は、上記問題に鑑みてなされたもので、その目的は、引け巣、ボイド等の溶着欠陥部の発生を防止することができる樹脂材のレーザ溶着方法を提供することである。   The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a resin material laser welding method capable of preventing the occurrence of weld defects such as shrinkage cavities and voids.

本発明は、前記課題を解決するための手段として、特許請求の範囲の各請求項に記載の樹脂材のレーザ溶着方法を提供する。
請求項1に記載の樹脂材のレーザ溶着方法は、レーザ光に対して吸収性のある第1の樹脂材と、レーザ光に対して透過性のある第2の樹脂材とを重ね合わせ、この接合部にレーザ光を照射して両樹脂材を溶着する該レーザ溶着方法であって、3つのレーザ光のそれぞれの焦点が略2等辺三角形を形成するように照射されていて、この略2等辺三角形の底辺側に位置する2つのレーザ光が、所定の間隔をあけて並行に走る2本の溶着線上をそれぞれ走査することによって両樹脂材を予備溶着し、次いでこの2本の溶着線の略中間を、略2等辺三角形の頂角に位置する他の1つのレーザ光が走査することによって両樹脂材を本溶着するものであり、これにより、予備溶着によって溶着される2本の溶着線によって、両樹脂材の2つの溶着部間に閉空間が形成され、次いでこの閉空間を本溶着することで溶融内部の内圧が抜けることがないので、溶着部に引け巣、ボイド等の欠陥が発生することを防止できる。
The present invention provides a laser welding method of a resin material according to each of the claims as means for solving the above-mentioned problems.
According to a laser welding method for a resin material according to claim 1, a first resin material that is absorptive to laser light and a second resin material that is transmissive to laser light are overlapped, A laser welding method in which a laser beam is irradiated to a joint portion to weld both resin materials, and the focal points of the three laser beams are irradiated so as to form a substantially isosceles triangle. Two laser beams located on the bottom side of the triangle scan the two welding lines running in parallel at a predetermined interval, thereby pre-welding both resin materials, and then an abbreviation of the two welding lines. The two resin materials are finally welded by scanning the middle with another laser beam located at the apex angle of the approximately isosceles triangle , and by this, the two welding lines welded by pre-welding , Closed between two welds of both resin materials During is formed, then since no pressure inside the melt comes out by the welding the closed space, it is possible to prevent the shrinkage cavity in the welding portion, defects such as voids generated.

請求項2の該レーザ溶着方法は、予備溶着の際の2つのレーザ光が本溶着の際の1つのレーザ光よりも先行するように3つのレーザ光の照射位置をずらして配置し、この3つのレーザ光を同時に照射するようにしたものである。即ち、予備溶着の2つのレーザ光から遅れて本溶着の光ビームが照射させるようにすることによって、一回の走査で予備溶着と本溶着とを行うことができ、作業時間を短縮できる。
