Description

本発明は、繊維強化熱可塑性樹脂の接合方法に関する。   The present invention relates to a method for joining fiber reinforced thermoplastic resins.

強化繊維に熱可塑性樹脂を含浸してなる繊維強化熱可塑性樹脂を、ビス等の接合部材を使用せずに接合する方法として、振動溶着、熱板溶着、抵抗溶着、超音波溶着等がある。
しかしながら、抵抗溶着は、繊維強化熱可塑性樹脂中に金属線を埋め込む必要があり、超音波溶着は、部材が厚くなると接合不良が生じやすいという問題がある。
As a method for bonding a fiber reinforced thermoplastic resin obtained by impregnating a reinforced fiber with a thermoplastic resin without using a bonding member such as a screw, there are vibration welding, hot plate welding, resistance welding, ultrasonic welding, and the like.
However, resistance welding requires embedding a metal wire in a fiber reinforced thermoplastic resin, and ultrasonic welding has a problem that bonding failure tends to occur when a member becomes thick.

しかしながら、熱板を用いた熱溶着法では、繊維強化熱可塑性樹脂からなる被接合面に熱板を接触させて融点以上に加熱するため、該被接合面において、熱可塑性樹脂が溶け出して強化繊維が浮き出る現象(スプリングバック現象)が生じやすい。被接合面に繊維が浮き出てしまうと、溶着時に接合不良が生じやすい。   However, in the heat welding method using a hot plate, the hot plate is brought into contact with the surface to be joined made of fiber reinforced thermoplastic resin and heated to the melting point or higher, so that the thermoplastic resin is melted and strengthened on the surface to be joined. The phenomenon that the fiber is raised (spring back phenomenon) is likely to occur. If fibers are raised on the surfaces to be joined, poor bonding is likely to occur during welding.

振動溶着は、被接合面どうしを密着させた状態で振動させることにより、摩擦熱で熱可塑性樹脂を溶融させて溶着する方法であるため、上記のスプリングバック現象は生じない。
しかしながら、振動溶着は、接合に要する振動時間が長く、バリが多く発生しやすいという問題がある。「バリ」とは、接合操作により接合界面からはみ出してくるものを指す。
The vibration welding is a method in which the thermoplastic resin is melted and welded by frictional heat by vibrating in a state where the surfaces to be joined are brought into close contact with each other. Therefore, the above spring back phenomenon does not occur.
However, vibration welding has a problem that vibration time required for joining is long and many burrs are likely to occur. “Burr” refers to an object that protrudes from the bonding interface by the bonding operation.

本発明は前記事情に鑑みてなされたもので、スプリングバック現象による接合不良を防止でき、バリの発生量が少ない、繊維強化熱可塑性樹脂の接合方法を提供することを目的とする。   The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a method for joining fiber-reinforced thermoplastic resins that can prevent poor joining due to a springback phenomenon and that has a small amount of burrs.

<繊維強化熱可塑性樹脂の接合方法>
[予備加熱工程]
まず、振動溶着工程に先立って、第1の被接合面および第2の被接合面の少なくとも一方を加熱する(予備加熱工程)。予備加熱工程を設けることにより、振動溶着において、被接合面を振動させる時間を短縮することができ、バリの質量を低減することができる。
<Joint method of fiber reinforced thermoplastic resin>
[Preheating process]
First, prior to the vibration welding step, at least one of the first bonded surface and the second bonded surface is heated (preliminary heating step). By providing the preheating step, it is possible to reduce the time for vibrating the surface to be bonded in vibration welding, and to reduce the mass of burrs.

予備加熱工程で加熱される被接合面の表面温度は、該被接合面を構成する熱可塑性樹脂が結晶性樹脂の場合には該樹脂の融点(Tm℃)以下、非晶性樹脂の場合にはガラス転移温度(Tg℃)以下とする。

また加熱される被接合面が熱可塑性樹脂(P2)を含み繊維を含まない材料(C2)からなる場合、該被接合面の表面温度が該熱可塑性樹脂(P2)の融点以下またはガラス転移温度以下となるように加熱することによって、樹脂が軟化、或いは溶融することによる樹脂垂れを防止しつつ、該被接合面の熱可塑性樹脂を軟化させることができる。

When the bonded surface to be heated is made of fiber reinforced thermoplastic resin (C1) or (C3), the surface temperature of the bonded surface is equal to or lower than the melting point of the thermoplastic resin contained in the fiber reinforced thermoplastic resin, or glass transition. By heating to below the temperature, the thermoplastic resin on the surface to be joined can be softened while preventing the phenomenon that the thermoplastic resin on the surface is melted and the reinforcing fibers are lifted off (spring back phenomenon). Thereby, it is possible to obtain the effect of shortening the vibration time required for joining and the effect of reducing the burr mass while preventing the joining failure due to the springback phenomenon.
Moreover, when the to-be-joined surface heated consists of thermoplastic resin (P2) and the material (C2) which does not contain a fiber, the surface temperature of this to-be-joined surface is below melting | fusing point of this thermoplastic resin (P2), or glass transition temperature.

該被接合面の表面温度の下限は特に限定されないが、予備加熱を行うことによる、接合に要する振動時間の短縮効果およびバリ質量の低減効果が充分に得られやすい点で、(Tm−100)℃以上または(Tg−100)℃以上がより好ましい。
The surface temperature of the bonded surface in the preheating step is preferably (Tm-3) ° C. or lower or (Tg-3) ° C. or lower, more preferably (Tm-10) ° C. or lower or (Tg-10) ° C. or lower.
The lower limit of the surface temperature of the surfaces to be joined is not particularly limited, but (Tm-100) in that the effect of shortening the vibration time required for joining and the effect of reducing the burr mass can be sufficiently obtained by preheating. More preferably, it is higher than or equal to (Tg-100) ° C.

予備加熱工程で用いる加熱手段は、被接合面を非接触で加熱できるものが好ましい。かかる加熱手段として、赤外線ヒーター、電気ヒーター等が例示される。中でも加熱の効率の観点から赤外線ヒーターが好ましい。被接合面を非接触で加熱することにより、加熱による被接合面の変形を防止できる。特に被接合面が平滑な面である場合、該被接合面の表面を平滑に保つことができるため好ましい。   The heating means used in the preheating step is preferably one that can heat the bonded surfaces in a non-contact manner. Examples of such heating means include an infrared heater and an electric heater. Among these, an infrared heater is preferable from the viewpoint of heating efficiency. By heating the surface to be bonded in a non-contact manner, deformation of the surface to be bonded due to heating can be prevented. In particular, when the surface to be joined is a smooth surface, the surface of the surface to be joined can be kept smooth, which is preferable.

[振動溶着工程]
予備加熱を終えた後、振動溶着により第1の被接合面と第2の被接合面を接合する(振動溶着工程)。振動溶着は、公知の振動溶着装置を適宜用いて行うことができる。
すなわち、第1の被接合面と第2の被接合面を密着させた状態で、被接合面に平行な一方向(振動方向)に沿って、両者を相対的に振動させる。かかる振動を与えることによって、第1の被接合面および第2の被接合面に摩擦熱が発生し、熱可塑性樹脂が溶融する。第1の被接合面と第2の被接合面の厚みの合計が所定の厚みになった時点で振動を停止する。振動が停止すると、第1の被接合面と第2の被接合面との間の溶融樹脂が冷えて硬化し、第1の被接合面と第2の被接合面とが接合、一体化される。
[Vibration welding process]
After finishing the preheating, the first bonded surface and the second bonded surface are bonded by vibration welding (vibration welding step). The vibration welding can be performed using a known vibration welding apparatus as appropriate.
That is, in a state where the first bonded surface and the second bonded surface are in close contact with each other, the two are relatively vibrated along one direction (vibration direction) parallel to the bonded surface. By applying such vibration, frictional heat is generated on the first bonded surface and the second bonded surface, and the thermoplastic resin is melted. The vibration is stopped when the total thickness of the first bonded surface and the second bonded surface reaches a predetermined thickness. When the vibration stops, the molten resin between the first bonded surface and the second bonded surface is cooled and cured, and the first bonded surface and the second bonded surface are bonded and integrated. The

In order to sufficiently obtain the effect of pressurization, the pressing force per unit area is 0.1 MPa or more in the region where the first bonded surface and the second bonded surface are in contact with each other. Preferably, 0.5 MPa or more is more preferable. On the other hand, 30 MPa or less is preferable and 20 MPa or less is more preferable in that it does not cause the necessity to install an excessive load mechanism in the vibration welding machine.

[実施例1]
本例では、試験片Aの端部どうしを接合した。すなわち、まず図1、2に示すように、2つの試験片1、2の端部どうしを、空間を隔てて重ね合わせた。両試験片1、2の重なり部分が接合部10となる。図中符号1は上側の試験片、2は下側の試験片を示す。両試験片1、2が重なっている接合部10において、対向している面が被接合面1a、2aである。被接合面1a、2aは平滑な面である。
両試験片1、2の重なり部分の長さ、すなわち接合部10の長さLは5mmとした。接合面積は25mm×5mm=1.25cmとなる。
次いで、両試験片1、2の被接合面1a、2aの間に赤外線ヒーター3を挿入し、被接合面1a、2aを同時に加熱した。加熱時間は10秒とした。被接合面1a、2aから赤外線ヒーターまでの距離はそれぞれ5mmとした。加熱終了直後の被接合面1a、2aの表面温度を、サーモグラフィー(ミノルタ社製、製品名:TA−0510F)で測定したところ、上側の試験片1の被接合面1aは80℃、下側の試験片2の被接合面2aは78℃であった。なお、赤外線ヒーター3で加熱する前の被接合面1a、2aの表面温度はいずれも20℃であった。
[Example 1]
In this example, the ends of the test piece A were joined together. That is, first, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the ends of the two test pieces 1 and 2 were overlapped with a space therebetween. The overlapping portion of both test pieces 1 and 2 becomes the joint 10. In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes an upper test piece, and 2 denotes a lower test piece. In the joint portion 10 where the two test pieces 1 and 2 are overlapped, the facing surfaces are the joined surfaces 1a and 2a. The joined surfaces 1a and 2a are smooth surfaces.
The length of the overlapping part of the two test pieces 1 and 2, that is, the length L of the joint 10 was 5 mm. The bonding area is 25 mm × 5 mm = 1.25 cm 2 .
Subsequently, the infrared heater 3 was inserted between the to-be-joined surfaces 1a and 2a of both the test pieces 1 and 2, and the to-be-joined surfaces 1a and 2a were heated simultaneously. The heating time was 10 seconds. The distance from the bonded surfaces 1a and 2a to the infrared heater was 5 mm. When the surface temperature of the bonded surfaces 1a and 2a immediately after the heating was measured by thermography (product name: TA-0510F, manufactured by Minolta), the bonded surface 1a of the upper test piece 1 was 80 ° C. The bonded surface 2a of the test piece 2 was 78 ° C. The surface temperatures of the bonded surfaces 1a and 2a before heating with the infrared heater 3 were both 20 ° C.

続いて、試験片1、2の間から赤外線ヒーター3を抜き取り、両試験片の被接合面1a、2aを密着させ、荷重をかけた状態で、試験片2を固定し、試験片1を試験片の長さ方向に振動させた。溶着条件は、振動周波数240Hz、長さ方向における振動振幅1.5mm、荷重1500N、単位面積当たりの加圧力12MPaとした。
振動を開始すると、被接合面1a、2aの熱可塑性樹脂が摩擦熱で溶融し、加圧力によって接合部10の全体の厚みが減少する。振動を開始する前の状態において、接合部10の全体の厚みが4mmであったのが、3.5mmになった時点で振動を停止する。振動を停止すると、被接合面1a、2aの間の溶融樹脂が短時間で硬化して、両者の接合が完了する。振動を開始してから停止するまでの時間を「接合に要する振動時間」として計測したところ、2.4秒であった。
Subsequently, the infrared heater 3 is extracted from between the test pieces 1 and 2, the bonded surfaces 1a and 2a of both test pieces are brought into close contact with each other, the test piece 2 is fixed in a state where a load is applied, and the test piece 1 is tested. Vibrated in the length direction of the piece. The welding conditions were a vibration frequency of 240 Hz, a vibration amplitude of 1.5 mm in the length direction, a load of 1500 N, and a pressure of 12 MPa per unit area.
When the vibration is started, the thermoplastic resin of the surfaces to be joined 1a and 2a is melted by frictional heat, and the entire thickness of the joint portion 10 is reduced by the applied pressure. In the state before starting the vibration, when the total thickness of the joint portion 10 is 4 mm, the vibration is stopped when it becomes 3.5 mm. When the vibration is stopped, the molten resin between the surfaces to be joined 1a and 2a is cured in a short time, and the joining of both is completed. The time from the start of vibration to the stop was measured as “vibration time required for joining” and found to be 2.4 seconds.

After the joining was completed, the burr 4 of the joined part 10 was cut out with a cutter knife, and the total mass was measured to be 0.045 g. The burr mass per bonding area was 0.045 g / 1.25 cm 2 = 0.036 (g / cm 2 ).

表1、2の結果より、以下のことがわかる。
比較例1と実施例1、2、比較例2と実施例3、4、比較例3と実施例5、6、比較例4と実施例7をそれぞれ比べると、振動溶着に先立って赤外線ヒーター3による予備加熱を行った実施例1〜7は、該予備加熱を行わない比較例1〜4よりも、接合に要する振動時間が短く、バリ質量が少ない。特に予備加熱の時間を20秒とした実施例2、4、6は、比較例1、2、3とそれぞれ比べてバリ質量が半分程度に減少した。
実施例1〜6を比べると、接合部の長さLが短いほど、また予備加熱終了直後の被接合面の表面温度が高いほど、接合に要する振動時間が短く、バリ質量が少ない。
また比較例1と実施例8を比べると、2つの試験片のうちの一方だけを予備加熱する方法でも、該予備加熱を行わない場合より、接合に要する振動時間を短縮し、バリ質量を低減できる。
比較例5〜8では、予備加熱により、被接合面において樹脂が溶け出して、繊維が浮き出てしまったため、振動溶着により接合しようとしたが被接合面どうしを一体化することができなかった。
From the results of Tables 1 and 2, the following can be understood.
Comparing Comparative Example 1 with Examples 1 and 2, Comparative Example 2 with Examples 3 and 4, Comparative Example 3 with Examples 5 and 6, and Comparative Example 4 with Example 7, respectively, infrared heater 3 prior to vibration welding In Examples 1 to 7 in which the preheating was performed according to, the vibration time required for joining was shorter and the burr mass was less than those in Comparative Examples 1 to 4 in which the preheating was not performed. In particular, in Examples 2, 4, and 6 in which the preheating time was 20 seconds, the burr mass was reduced to about half as compared with Comparative Examples 1, 2, and 3, respectively.
Comparing Examples 1 to 6, the shorter the length L of the bonded portion and the higher the surface temperature of the bonded surface immediately after the completion of the preheating, the shorter the vibration time required for bonding and the smaller the burr mass.
Further, comparing Comparative Example 1 and Example 8, even with the method of preheating only one of the two test pieces, the vibration time required for joining is shortened and the burr mass is reduced as compared with the case where the preheating is not performed. it can.
In Comparative Examples 5 to 8, the resin was melted on the surfaces to be joined due to the preheating, and the fibers were raised. Therefore, although joining was attempted by vibration welding, the surfaces to be joined could not be integrated.

表3の結果より、以下のことがわかる。
比較例9と実施例9を比べると、振動溶着に先立って赤外線ヒーター3による予備加熱を行った実施例9は、該予備加熱を行わない比較例9よりも、接合に要する振動時間が短く、バリ質量が少ない。
比較例10では、予備加熱時間が長いため、被接合面において樹脂が溶け出して、繊維が浮き出てしまい、振動溶着により接合しようとしたが被接合面どうしを一体化することができなかった。
From the results in Table 3, the following can be understood.
Comparing Comparative Example 9 and Example 9, Example 9 in which preheating with the infrared heater 3 was performed prior to vibration welding was shorter in vibration time required for joining than Comparative Example 9 in which the preheating was not performed. Low burr mass.
In Comparative Example 10, since the preheating time was long, the resin melted out on the surfaces to be joined, and the fibers rose, so that joining was attempted by vibration welding, but the surfaces to be joined could not be integrated.
