この構成では、溶接部の両側の厚さが等しくなるため、均一にクランプすることができ、精度よくレーザ溶接できる。 In the present embodiment, prior to welding between the terminal connection portion 10 and the crimping portion 20, the sealing portion 22 of the crimping portion 20 is further crushed and compressed by a press, and the thicknesses of the longitudinally opposed end portions 41a and 41b are compared. Are equally formed. And the longitudinal direction opposing ends 41a and 41b of the crimping | compression-bonding part 20 and the terminal connection part 10 are welded.

Further, for example, when both sides are clamped, it can be clamped uniformly and the welded part is firmly fixed, so that the welded part can be laser welded with high accuracy.
In the present embodiment, the female crimp terminal 2 is used. However, any type of terminal may be used as long as the crimp terminal 20 has the crimp part 20, and the box part 11 in the terminal connection part 10 of the female crimp terminal 2 described above may be used. A male crimp terminal constituted by an insertion tab to be inserted and the crimping portion 20 can also be applied, and is constituted by only the crimping portion 20 and is a crimp for binding and connecting the aluminum core wires 31 of the plurality of covered electric wires 3. It can also be applied to terminals.

トランジション部１３は、端子接続部１０のボックス部１１の後端から所定の長さを有して突出したが、端子接続部１０の後端側に備えるものに限定されず、圧着部２０の先端側に端子接続部１０に向けて突出する態様で備えてもよく、端子接続部１０と圧着部２０との双方に備えてもよい。さらには、トランジション部１３は、端子接続部１０と圧着部２０とを連結する、図示省略した溶接連結部を別途に設けて、この溶接連結部の一部として備える構成としてもよい。   The transition portion 13 protrudes from the rear end of the box portion 11 of the terminal connection portion 10 with a predetermined length. However, the transition portion 13 is not limited to the one provided on the rear end side of the terminal connection portion 10. You may provide in the aspect which protrudes toward the terminal connection part 10 in the side, and may be provided in both the terminal connection part 10 and the crimping | compression-bonding part 20. Furthermore, the transition part 13 may be configured to separately provide a welding connection part (not shown) that connects the terminal connection part 10 and the crimping part 20 and includes the welding connection part as a part of the welding connection part.

本実施形態では、端子接続部１０と圧着部２０とは、別々に打ち抜き加工や、曲げ加工を行うことにより組み立てることができるため、圧着端子２全体として一括で形成するよりもスムーズに形成することができるとともに、それぞれの形状がさらに複雑化しても正確、且つ容易に形成できる。   In this embodiment, since the terminal connection part 10 and the crimping | compression-bonding part 20 can be assembled by performing a punching process or a bending process separately, it forms smoothly rather than forming collectively as the crimping terminal 2 whole. It can be formed accurately and easily even if each shape becomes more complicated.

また、上述の実施形態では、圧着部２０と端子接続部１０とを銅合金で形成したが、圧着部２０と端子接続部１０とを別部材で形成したため、圧着部２０と端子接続部１０とを異なる材質で形成することが可能となる。例えば、圧着部２０は、被覆電線３のアルミニウム芯線３１の材質に応じて、例えば、アルミニウム系金属で形成するとともに、端子接続部１０は、雄型圧着端子の材質などに応じて銅系金属で形成すれば、例えば、電食が生じにくく、優れた導電性が得られる。
被覆電線３は、例えば、アルミニウムまたはアルミニウム合金性の素線を束ねたアルミニウム芯線３１を、絶縁樹脂（例えば、ポリ塩化ビニル）で構成する導体絶縁層で被覆して構成される。アルミニウム芯線３１は、所定の断面積となるようにアルミニウム素線を撚って構成したが、単線で構成しても良い。 Moreover, in the above-mentioned embodiment, although the crimping | compression-bonding part 20 and the terminal connection part 10 were formed with the copper alloy, since the crimping | compression-bonding part 20 and the terminal connection part 10 were formed by another member, the crimping | compression-bonding part 20 and the terminal connection part 10 Can be formed of different materials. For example, the crimping portion 20 is made of, for example, an aluminum-based metal according to the material of the aluminum core wire 31 of the covered electric wire 3, and the terminal connection portion 10 is made of a copper-based metal according to the material of the male crimping terminal. If formed, for example, electrolytic corrosion is less likely to occur, and excellent conductivity is obtained.
The covered electric wire 3 is configured, for example, by covering an aluminum core wire 31 in which aluminum or aluminum alloy wires are bundled with a conductor insulating layer made of an insulating resin (for example, polyvinyl chloride). The aluminum core wire 31 is formed by twisting an aluminum wire so as to have a predetermined cross-sectional area, but may be formed by a single wire.

本実施形態では、雌型圧着端子２の形状が複雑化しても、雌型圧着端子２全体として複雑な形状のまま一括で形成する必要がなく、端子接続部１０と圧着部２０とを個別に形成できるため、結果的に、例えば、端子形状に打ち抜くための金型の費用を削減できるなど、雌型圧着端子２全体としての製造コスト、労力を削減できる。従って、雌型圧着端子２の設計自由度を大幅に向上させることができる。   In the present embodiment, even if the shape of the female crimp terminal 2 is complicated, it is not necessary to form the female crimp terminal 2 in a complicated shape as a whole, and the terminal connection portion 10 and the crimp portion 20 are individually formed. As a result, it is possible to reduce the manufacturing cost and labor of the female crimp terminal 2 as a whole, for example, the cost of a die for punching into a terminal shape can be reduced. Therefore, the design freedom of the female crimp terminal 2 can be greatly improved.

また、上述した溶接工程を、ファイバーレーザ溶接で行うことにより、他のレーザ溶接と比べて、焦点を極小なスポットに合わせることができ、高出力なレーザ溶接を実現することができ、連続照射可能である。
したがって、溶接部に隙間などの溶接の斑が生じることがなく、溶接部に隙間が生じて水分が浸入することを防止できるため、確実な止水性を確保できるとともに、溶接部の優れた強度を確保することもできる。 In addition, by performing the above-mentioned welding process by fiber laser welding, it is possible to focus on a very small spot compared to other laser welding, realize high-power laser welding, continuous irradiation possible It is.
Therefore, no spots of welding such as gaps are generated in the welded portion, and it is possible to prevent moisture from entering due to gaps in the welded portion. It can also be secured.
