Description
(1)レーザ吸収層を備える着体を、凹み部とその両側に隆起部とが形成された被着体に対して、前記レーザ吸収層を前記凹み部に対向させるように重ね、前記レーザ吸収層にレーザ光を照射して前記レーザ吸収層を加熱することにより前記着体を前記被着体に融着させるレーザ樹脂融着方法において、前記被着体よりも大きいガラス部材を有する押圧手段によって、前記被着体よりも大きい前記着体の前記レーザ吸収層を前記被着体に押圧した状態で、前記ガラス部材を介して前記凹み部および前記隆起部の範囲より広い第1照射範囲に前記レーザ光を照射することにより、前記レーザ吸収層を軟化開始温度と融着温度との間に加熱する第1加熱ステップと、前記ガラス部材を介して前記第1照射範囲内で且つ前記凹み部内に設けられた第2照射範囲に前記レーザ光を前記レーザ吸収層に照射することにより、前記レーザ吸収層を前記融着温度以上に加熱する第2加熱ステップと、を有する。
レーザ樹脂融着装置10は、被着体1と着体2を備える。被着体1は、熱可塑性樹脂を板状に成形したものである。被着体1は、幅X、深さYの凹み部1aが設けられ、その凹み部1aの両側に隆起部1c,1dが突設されている。一方、着体2は、被着体1に融着されるものである。着体2は、レーザ光Lを透過可能な樹脂を材質とするレーザ光透過層3と、レーザ光Lを吸収して加熱されると変形する熱可塑性樹脂を材質とするレーザ吸収層4とを積層したものである。着体2は、被着体1より大きく、被着体1全体を覆うことができる。
図2に示すように、レーザ樹脂融着装置10は、レーザ吸収層4が隆起部1c,1dに接触して凹み部1aを覆うように着体2を被着体1に重ねて配置する。そして、着体2にガラス部材5を重ね、押圧駆動部6(図1参照)によりガラス部材5を介して着体2を被着体1に押し付ける。押圧駆動部6は、加熱手段8がレーザ吸収層4に照射するレーザ光Lに当たらないようにガラス部材5を押圧する。これにより、レーザ吸収層4が被着体1に押圧された状態になる。
また、「融着温度」とは、レーザ吸収層4の表面が溶け始め、レーザ吸収層4が形状を保持できる程度に溶融する温度範囲をいう。
本実施形態のレーザ樹脂融着方法及びレーザ樹脂融着装置10は、レーザ吸収層4を被着体1に押圧した状態で、被着体1の凹み部1aの範囲P1より広い第1照射範囲P2にレーザ光Lを照射することにより、レーザ吸収層4を軟化開始温度と融着温度との間に加熱する。これにより、レーザ吸収層4が、融着しない程度に軟化し、被着体1側への押圧により凹み部1aに入り込むように変形する。そのため、被着体1とレーザ吸収層4との間の隙間が解消される。その後、第1照射範囲P2内に設けられた第2照射範囲P3にレーザ光Lをレーザ吸収層4に照射することにより、レーザ吸収層4を融着温度以上に加熱する。これにより、レーザ吸収層4が融着温度以上に加熱されて溶融し、溶融した部分の熱を被着体1に伝達して被着体1を溶融させる。そして、溶融したレーザ吸収層4と溶融した被着体1とが混じり合い、着体2が被着体1に融着される。よって、本実施形態のレーザ樹脂融着方法及びレーザ樹脂融着装置10によれば、接合面に小さな凹凸が有る場合でも着体2を被着体1に確実に接合できる。
燃料電池の製造過程では、水分管理が重要である。電池構成材料に水分が吸着すると、電池性能が低下するためである。本実施例では、電極素子を挿入した容器の注入口から電解液を注入した後、電解液が外気に接触して水分を吸着するのを防止するために、注入口を封止する封止部材の取り付けにレーザ樹脂融着方法を適用している。
図4に示すように、容器10は、ステンレス等の金属を材質とし、電解液を注入するための注入口10bが円筒状に設けられている。注入口10bの開口端面には、被着体1が固定されている。
そして、被着体1より大きい着体2を凹み部1aを覆うように被着体1に載せる。着体2は、樹脂(例えばPP)を厚さ0.05mmの板状に成形したレーザ透過層3と、樹脂(例えばPP)を厚さ0.05mmの板状に成形したレーザ吸収層4とを積層したものである。着体2は、レーザ吸収層4を凹み部1aに対向させるように被着体1に載置される。この時点では、図7に示すように、レーザ吸収層4と被着体1との間には、0.05mm程度の隙間が凹み1aにより形成されている。
そして、ガラス部材5を着体2に重ね、着体2を被着体1側へ押圧する。ガラス部材5は、レーザ光Lを透過するガラスを材質とする。ガラス部材5は、直径が被着体1の外径及び着体2の幅寸法より大きい円形をなし、着体2を被着体1に対して均一に押圧できるように注入口10b及び被着体1と同軸上に配置される。ガラス部材5は、レーザ吸収層4が軟化した場合にレーザ吸収層4の軟化した部分を凹み部1aに入り込ませることが可能な荷重で着体2を被着体1側に押圧する。本実施例では、ガラス部材5は着体2に0.1MPaの荷重を作用させる。
そして、ガラス部材5の上方からレーザ光Lを照射する。図中ドットハッチング部に示すように、レーザ光Lは、凹み部1aの範囲P1より広い第1照射範囲P2に照射する。より具体的には、隆起部1cの内側から隆起部1dの外側までの第1照射範囲P2にレーザ光Lを照射するりレーザ光Lは、ガラス部材5とレーザ透過層3を透過した後、レーザ吸収層4に吸収され、レーザ吸収層4を加熱する。
レーザ吸収層4は、レーザ光Lを照射される部分が、軟化開始温度(80℃)と融着温度(110℃)との間まで昇温すると、図中Q1に示すように、ガラス部材5に作用する押圧力により、軟化した部分を凹み部1aへ入り込ませる。このとき、隆起部1c,1dの先端が半球状であるため、レーザ吸収層4は、ガラス部材5から作用する押圧力によって凹み部1aに入り込みやすい。これにより、レーザ吸収層4が被着体1の端面全体に密着し、図中Q1に示すように、被着体1とレーザ吸収層4との間に凹み部1aにより形成されていた隙間が解消する。
その後、レーザ光Lを第1照射範囲P2内の第2照射範囲P3に照射して、レーザ吸収層4を融着温度(110℃)以上に加熱する。つまり、レーザ光Lは、隆起部1c,1dの間の凹み部1aの内部に照射される。レーザ吸収層4は、レーザ光Lを吸収して第2照射範囲P3を溶融する。その一方で、レーザ吸収層4は、第1照射範囲P2のうちレーザ光Lを照射されなかった部分が溶融せずに、形状を保つ。
レーザ吸収層4は、溶融した部分の熱を被着体1に伝達して被着体1を溶融させる。着体2は、図中Q2に示すように、レーザ吸収層4と被着体1とが溶融して混じり合うことにより、被着体1に接合される。このとき、レーザ吸収層4は、隆起部1c,1dに対応する部分が溶融しない。そのため、隆起部1c,1dは、形状を保ち、凹部1aから外側に広がろうとする溶融材料をせき止め、レーザ吸収層4を被着体1に凹部1aに沿って切れ目無く環状に融着させる。尚、着体2は、冷却後、被着体1の形状に合わせてカットしても良い。
実験は、上記実施例のように第1加熱ステップによりレーザ吸収層4を軟化させて凹み部1aに流動させた後、レーザ吸収層を融着温度以上に加熱して着体2を被着体1に接合した場合の容器10(以下「樹脂ならしありの製品」という。)と、第1加熱ステップを行わずに、レーザ吸収層を融着温度以上に直接加熱して着体2を被着体1に接合した場合の容器10(以下「樹脂ならしなしの製品」という。)を実験対象とした。そして、樹脂ならしありの製品と樹脂ならしなしの製品について、図14の矢印方向に示すように容器10の内側から着体2に破壊圧力を加え、破壊される部位を調べた。
一方、樹脂ならしなしの製品は、1.75MPaの破壊圧力を加えたところ、着体2が着体1から剥がれた。
上記実験結果より、樹脂ならしを行ってから着体2を被着体1に接合することにより、着体2を着体1に強く融着できることが実証された。これは、第1加熱ステップによりレーザ吸収層4を被着体1の凹み部1aに密着させてから第2加熱ステップを行い、レーザ吸収層4を被着体1に融着するためと考えられる。
上記実施形態では、レーザ光Lを走査的に照射したが、断続的にレーザ光Lを照射しても良い。
