Description

本発明は、電気抵抗溶接により膨出変形した電極チップを初期の正規形状に整形して再生する電極チップ再生具及び電極チップ再生装置、詳しくは電極チップ先端部の押延ばしに伴って先端部基端側から電極チップの基端側に向かって外周面に沿った状態で突出する押延ばし残片(以下、本発明において押延ばし残片をスカート片と称する。)が形成されるのを防止しながら正規形状に整形する電極チップ再生具及び電極チップ再生装置に関する。   The present invention relates to an electrode tip regenerator and an electrode tip regenerator that reshape and regenerate an electrode tip bulged and deformed by electric resistance welding into an initial normal shape, and more specifically, a tip end base as the electrode tip end is extended. While preventing the formation of a stretched residue piece (hereinafter referred to as a skirt piece in the present invention) that protrudes along the outer peripheral surface from the end side toward the base end side of the electrode tip, The present invention relates to an electrode chip regenerator and an electrode chip regenerator that are shaped into a shape.

尚、本発明において「再生」とは、電極チップの膨出変形部分を研磨したり、切削したりして正規形状に整形する研磨整形概念とは相違し、変形部分を先端側へ押延ばして正規形状に整形することを意味する。また、本発明において「正規形状」とは未使用時の電極チップにおける先端面を含む先端部の形状を意味する。   In the present invention, “regeneration” is different from the polishing shaping concept in which the bulging deformation portion of the electrode tip is polished or cut into a regular shape, and the deformation portion is pushed to the tip side. This means shaping into a regular shape. In the present invention, the “regular shape” means the shape of the tip portion including the tip surface of the electrode tip when not in use.

抵抗溶接機は、例えば重ね合された複数枚の亜鉛メッキ鋼板等のワークの表裏面に圧接される一対の電極チップにより挟持した状態で電極チップ間に電流が印加されると、通電に伴う亜鉛メッキ鋼板間の電気抵抗により発熱して形成される溶接ナゲットにより亜鉛メッキ鋼板相互を溶接している。   When a current is applied between a pair of electrode tips that are sandwiched between a pair of electrode tips pressed against the front and back surfaces of a workpiece such as a plurality of galvanized steel sheets, for example, the resistance welding machine The galvanized steel sheets are welded to each other by a welding nugget formed by generating heat due to electrical resistance between the plated steel sheets.

電気抵抗溶接に使用する電極チップにあっては、ワークに対する圧接によりワークに余分な傷が付くのを防止すると共にワークに対して高圧電流を有効かつ安定的に通電させる必要から電気抵抗値が低くて柔らかい銅や銅合金等を使用している。 The electrode tip used for electric resistance welding has a low electric resistance value because it prevents the work from being excessively damaged due to the pressure contact with the work and allows a high-voltage current to be effectively and stably applied to the work. Soft copper or copper alloy is used.

しかし、銅や銅合金製の電極チップは、比較的容易に塑性変形し易く、ワークに対する圧接により先端部が押し潰されて大径化したり、ワークに対する当接により磨耗したりして正規形状を保つことが困難であった。この結果、電極チップの先端面が変形や磨耗によりワークに対する接触面積が大きくなって電気抵抗値が変化して均一な溶接ナゲットを安定して形成することが困難になり、溶接品質を低下させる原因になっていた。 However, the electrode tip made of copper or copper alloy is relatively easily deformed plastically. It was difficult to keep. As a result, the tip surface of the electrode tip is deformed or worn, resulting in a large contact area with the workpiece, which makes it difficult to stably form a uniform weld nugget due to a change in electrical resistance, resulting in poor welding quality. It was.

これを防止するため、従来は電極研磨装置により電極チップの変形部分を研磨(切削)して正規形状に戻していたが、研磨作業により電極チップ自体の長さが短くなって溶接寿命が短くなり、電極チップの交換頻度が多くなって溶接コストが増大していた。   In order to prevent this, conventionally, the deformed portion of the electrode tip was polished (cut) back to the normal shape by the electrode polishing device, but the length of the electrode tip itself was shortened by the polishing operation, and the welding life was shortened. The frequency of electrode tip replacement has increased and the welding cost has increased.

本出願人は上記した従来の電極チップ研磨装置による欠点を解決するため、特許文献1に示す電極チップ再生具を提案した。該電極チップ再生具は電動モータの駆動に伴って回転しながら電極チップの先端部外周面に対してそれぞれの外周面成形突部を圧接して変形部分を先端面側へ押延ばして正規形状に整形した後に回転する先端面整形突部により先端面側に押延ばされた変形部分を電極チップの先端面に盛付けて平面状に押延ばして正規形状に整形可能にしている。   The present applicant has proposed an electrode tip regenerator shown in Patent Document 1 in order to solve the above-described drawbacks of the conventional electrode tip polishing apparatus. The electrode tip regenerator rotates with the driving of the electric motor, presses the outer peripheral surface forming protrusions against the outer peripheral surface of the tip portion of the electrode tip, and pushes the deformed portion toward the front end surface to have a normal shape. The deformed portion stretched toward the distal end surface by the distal end surface shaping projection that rotates after shaping is placed on the distal end surface of the electrode chip and stretched into a flat shape so that it can be shaped into a regular shape.

しかし、上記した電極チップ再生具により電極チップを正規形状になるように再生する際には電極チップの先端部外周面に圧接する外周面成形突部により先端部の一部が先端と反対側(電極チップの基端側)の外周周りに押し出されてスカート片が形成される問題を有している。 However, when the electrode tip regenerator is used to regenerate the electrode tip so as to have a regular shape, a part of the tip portion is opposite to the tip end by the outer peripheral surface forming protrusion that presses against the outer peripheral surface of the tip portion of the electrode tip ( There is a problem that a skirt piece is formed by being extruded around the outer periphery of the base end side of the electrode tip).

このスカート片が形成される際には電極チップの押し延ばし残部が電極チップ再生具の回転抵抗になって電極チップ再生具を所定の回転数で回転させることが困難になり、電極チップを効率的に再生できない問題を有している。この問題は電極チップ再生具を回転させるために高トルクの電動モータを使用することにより解決することができるが、電極チップ再生装置が大型化及び高コスト化する問題を有している。 When this skirt piece is formed, the remaining extension of the electrode tip becomes the rotational resistance of the electrode tip regenerator, making it difficult to rotate the electrode tip regenerator at a predetermined number of rotations, and the electrode tip can be efficiently Have a problem that can not be played. This problem can be solved by using a high-torque electric motor to rotate the electrode tip regenerator, but has the problem that the electrode tip regenerator is increased in size and cost.

また、上記のように形成されたスカート片が再生の進展に伴って電極チップから切離されて切削屑になる場合には切削屑としてのスカート片自体が大きいため、電極チップ再生具内からスカート片を有効に排出させることが困難で内部に残り易くなり、電極チップ再生具の回転抵抗になったり、正規形成に整形する際の障害になったりする問題を有している。 In addition, when the skirt piece formed as described above is cut away from the electrode tip as cutting progresses to become cutting waste, the skirt piece itself as cutting waste is large, so the skirt piece from inside the electrode tip playback tool is large. There is a problem that it is difficult to effectively discharge the pieces, and they are likely to remain inside, resulting in a rotational resistance of the electrode tip regenerator and an obstacle to shaping into a regular formation.

特許第5131924号公報Japanese Patent No. 5131924

解決しようとする問題点は、電極チップにスカート片が形成される際に電極チップの押し延ばし残部が回転抵抗になって電極チップ再生具を所定の回転数で回転させることが困難になる点にある。また、電極チップの再生する際に形成されるスカート片が大きな切削屑になって電極チップ再生具内から有効に排出させることが困難になり、電極チップ再生具の回転抵抗になったり、正規形状に整形する際の障害になったりする点にある。 The problem to be solved is that when the skirt piece is formed on the electrode tip, the stretched portion of the electrode tip becomes a rotational resistance, making it difficult to rotate the electrode tip regenerating tool at a predetermined rotational speed. is there. In addition, the skirt piece formed when the electrode tip is regenerated becomes large cutting waste, which makes it difficult to effectively eject the skirt piece from the electrode tip regenerator. It is in the point which becomes an obstacle at the time of shaping.

At the center portion and the bottom surface center portion, tip end surface extending portions 23 and 25 are formed integrally with the tip surfaces of the electrode tips 7 and 9 so as to extend in the horizontal direction shown in the figure.

Each of the outer peripheral surface extending portions 35 and 37 protrudes at a required height in each of the shaping chambers 19 and 21 and is curved with respect to the rotation direction of the electrode tip regenerator 11. The outer peripheral surface extended portions 35 and 37 are set so that the curvature radii of the top ridge lines coincide with the curvature radii of the tip portions of the regular-shaped electrode tips 7 and 9. The extending portions 35 and 37 of the outer peripheral surfaces of the shaping chambers 19 and 21 are provided in a mirror-symmetrical manner around the middle in the axial direction of the electrode chip regenerator 11.

図4に示すように上記切欠き部29の切欠き端面29aには適宜厚さの切削部材39が固定ねじ51により固定される。該切削部材39は例えば高速度鋼、超硬合金、セラミックス等により形成され、各整形室19・21内に進入する各電極チップ7・9の先端部外周面をそれぞれ切削して研磨する第1切削刃41・43及び各電極チップ7・9の先端面をそれぞれ切削して研磨する第2切削刃45・47が図示する上下対称に形成される。 As shown in FIG. 4, a cutting member 39 having an appropriate thickness is fixed to the notch end surface 29 a of the notch 29 by a fixing screw 51. The cutting member 39 is formed of, for example, high-speed steel, cemented carbide, ceramics, etc., and first cuts and polishes the outer peripheral surfaces of the tip portions of the electrode tips 7 and 9 entering the shaping chambers 19 and 21, respectively. The cutting blades 41 and 43 and the second cutting blades 45 and 47 for cutting and polishing the tip surfaces of the electrode tips 7 and 9 are formed symmetrically in the vertical direction shown in the figure.

また、切削部材39における回転方向上手面の中央部には電極チップ再生具11における一方の切欠き端面29aに設けられた係止凹部31に挿嵌されて位置決めするための係合突部49が一体形成されると共に該係合突部49に応じた切削部材39には電極チップ再生具11に切削部材39をねじ止めするための固定ねじ51が挿通されるねじ穴53が形成される。 In addition, an engaging protrusion 49 is provided at the center of the upper surface of the cutting member 39 in the rotational direction so as to be inserted and positioned in a locking recess 31 provided on one notch end surface 29a of the electrode tip regenerator 11.

なお、切削部材39における回転方向下手面は第1切削刃41・43及び第2切削刃45・47のすくい面として機能し、実施例に示す切削部材39のすくい面は0度であるが、±5度の範囲ですくい面角度を設定すればよい。 The lower surface in the rotational direction of the cutting member 39 functions as the rake face of the first cutting blades 41 and 43 and the second cutting blades 45 and 47, and the rake face of the cutting member 39 shown in the embodiment is 0 degrees. The rake face angle should be set within the range of ± 5 degrees.

上記した各第1切削刃41・43は電極チップ再生具11の軸線方向中間において軸線直交方向に対して図示する上下対称で、整形室19・21の開放端側から底面側に向かって正規形状の電極チップ7・9の先端部外周面に近似するR曲面状に形成され、各外周面押延し部35・37により先端部の基端部側へ押し延ばされる電極チップ7・9における変形部分を研磨(切削)することによりスカート片7a・9aが形成されるのを防止すると共に先端面側へ押延される電極チップ7・9の変形部分を研磨(切削)することにより先端面が過度に盛り上げられて電極チップ再生具11の回転抵抗になるのを防止する。 Each of the first cutting blades 41 and 43 described above is vertically symmetric with respect to the direction orthogonal to the axis in the middle of the axial direction of the electrode tip regenerator 11 and has a regular shape from the open end side of the shaping chambers 19 and 21 toward the bottom side. Deformation in the electrode tips 7 and 9 which is formed in an R curved surface approximate to the outer peripheral surface of the distal end portion of the electrode tips 7 and 9 and is extended toward the proximal end portion side of the distal end portion by the outer peripheral surface extending portions 35 and 37 By polishing (cutting) the portion, the skirt pieces 7a and 9a are prevented from being formed, and the tip surface is polished (cut) by polishing (cutting) the deformed portions of the electrode tips 7 and 9 that are pushed to the tip surface side. It is prevented that the electrode tip regenerator 11 is turned up excessively and becomes a rotational resistance of the electrode tip regenerator 11.

また、各第2切削刃45,47は対応する第1切削刃41・43に連続してそれぞれの先端面押延し部23・25に向かう電極チップ再生具11の軸線直交方向へ延出し、各先端面押延し部23・25により押し延ばされて盛り付けられる電極チップ7・9における先端面の一部を研磨(切削)することにより電極チップ再生具11の回転抵抗になるのを防止する。 Further, each of the second cutting blades 45, 47 extends in the direction orthogonal to the axis of the electrode tip regenerator 11 toward the respective distal end surface extending portions 23, 25 continuously to the corresponding first cutting blades 41, 43, It is possible to prevent rotation resistance of the electrode tip regenerator 11 by polishing (cutting) part of the tip surface of the electrode tips 7 and 9 that are stretched and mounted by the tip end surface extending portions 23 and 25. To do.

次に、上記のように構成される電極チップ再生具11による電極チップ7・9の再生作用を説明する。尚、説明の便宜上、図5乃至図10は上方に位置する整形室19による電極チップ7の再生作用を示すが、下方の整形室21による電極チップ9の再生作用に付いても同様であるため、図示を省略する。 Next, the regenerating action of the electrode tips 7 and 9 by the electrode tip regenerating tool 11 configured as described above will be described. For convenience of explanation, FIGS. 5 to 10 show the regeneration action of the electrode tip 7 by the shaping chamber 19 located above, but the same applies to the regeneration action of the electrode tip 9 by the shaping chamber 21 below. The illustration is omitted.

抵抗溶接機の溶接ガン3に装着される電極チップ7・9は、図6に示すように抵抗溶接に伴ってワークに対する圧接や抵抗溶接時の熱等により電極チップ7・9の先端部が押し潰されて大径化したり、先端面がワークに対する圧接により磨耗や溶融により変形したりする。なお、図6においては電極チップ7・9の先端部が押し潰されて大径化したり、一部が磨耗して膨出変形したりした状態を実線で、また正規形状を一点鎖線で示す。 As shown in FIG. 6, the electrode tips 7, 9 attached to the welding gun 3 of the resistance welder are pressed by the tip of the electrode tips 7, 9 due to pressure welding to the workpiece, heat during resistance welding, etc. The diameter is crushed and the tip surface is deformed due to wear or melting due to pressure contact with the workpiece. In FIG. 6, a state in which the tip portions of the electrode tips 7 and 9 are crushed to increase the diameter or a part thereof is worn and bulged and deformed is indicated by a solid line, and a normal shape is indicated by an alternate long and short dash line.

上記のように膨出変形した電極チップ7・9はワークに対する接触面積が変化して均一な力で圧接させて均質な溶接ナゲットを形成することが困難になって抵抗溶接損失が悪くなるため、膨出変形した電極チップ7・9の先端部を図6に一点鎖線で示す正規形状に整形する必要がある。 Since the electrode tips 7 and 9 bulging and deforming as described above change the contact area with the workpiece and press contact with a uniform force, it becomes difficult to form a uniform weld nugget, and resistance welding loss deteriorates. It is necessary to shape the tip portions of the bulged and deformed electrode tips 7 and 9 into a regular shape indicated by a one-dot chain line in FIG.

電極チップ7・9の整形作業は、例えば溶接回数が所定回数に達したとき、1個のワークに対する複数ショットの溶接作業が終了したとき、所要個数のワークの溶接作業が終了したとき或いは次のワークが所要の溶接位置に搬入されるまでの間等の状況下で溶接ガン3を移動原点位置に戻した待機時に行われる。   For example, when the number of times of welding reaches a predetermined number of times, when a plurality of shots of a workpiece are welded, when a required number of workpieces are welded, This is performed at the time of standby when the welding gun 3 is returned to the movement origin position under a situation such as until the work is carried to the required welding position.

即ち、電動モータ13の回転駆動に伴って回転する電極チップ再生具11の各整形室19・21内に対し、待機位置に移動した電極チップ7・9を互いに近づく方向へ移動しながら進入させると、電極チップ7・9先端部にて膨出した変形部分に対して回転する外周面押延し部23・25が圧接し、上記変形部分の大部分が先端面側へ、また一部が電極チップ7・9先端部の基端側へ向かうように押延ばされる。(図8左断面参照、但し図8は上部の整形室を示すと共に左断面においては説明の都合上、外周面押延し部の頂部稜線を現して示す。) That is, when the electrode tips 7 and 9 moved to the standby position are moved in the directions approaching each other into the shaping chambers 19 and 21 of the electrode tip regenerator 11 that rotates as the electric motor 13 is driven to rotate. The outer peripheral surface extending portions 23 and 25 that rotate with respect to the deformed portion that bulges at the tip portion of the electrode tips 7 and 9 are in pressure contact, and most of the deformed portion is directed to the tip surface side and part of the electrode portion is an electrode. It is extended so that it may go to the base end side of tip 7 * 9 tip part. (Refer to the left cross section of FIG. 8; however, FIG. 8 shows the upper shaping chamber, and the left cross section shows the top ridge line of the outer peripheral surface extending portion for convenience of explanation.)

そして圧接する外周面押延し部35・37により先端側へ押延される変形部分は凹凸状になりながら先端面に盛り上げられた後に盛り上げられた先端面に対して回転しながら圧接する先端面押延し部23・25により平坦状に押延されて正規形状になるように整形される。(図9左断面参照、但し図9は上部の整形室を示すと共に左断面においては説明の都合上、外周面押延し部を頂部稜線を現して示す。) Then, the deformed portion pushed to the front end side by the outer peripheral surface extending portions 35 and 37 that are in pressure contact is formed in an uneven shape, and the tip end surface that presses while rotating with respect to the tip end surface raised after being raised to the tip end surface It is shaped so as to be formed into a regular shape by being pushed flat by the extending portions 23 and 25. (Refer to the left cross section of FIG. 9; however, FIG. 9 shows the upper shaping chamber, and the left cross section shows the extended portion of the outer peripheral surface as a top ridge for convenience of explanation.)

上記したように電極チップ7・9先端部にて膨出した変形部分の一部が電極チップ7・9先端部の基端側へ向かうように押延ばされると、図7に示すようにスカート片7a・9aに形成されことになる。本実施例においては図8右断面に示すように電極チップ7・9における先端部の外周面に当接する切削部材39における第1切削刃41・43の開放端側部分により先端部の基端側へ向かうように押延ばされる変形部分の一部を切削して除去することによりスカート片7a・9aが形成されるのを防止することができる。 As described above, when a part of the deformed portion that bulges at the tip of the electrode tips 7 and 9 is stretched toward the base end side of the tip of the electrode tips 7 and 9, as shown in FIG. 7a and 9a are formed. In the present embodiment, as shown in the right cross section of FIG. 8, the proximal end side of the distal end portion is formed by the open end side portions of the first cutting blades 41 and 43 in the cutting member 39 that contacts the outer peripheral surface of the distal end portion of the electrode tips 7 and 9. It is possible to prevent the skirt pieces 7a and 9a from being formed by cutting and removing a part of the deformed portion that is stretched toward the front.

また、外周面押延し部35・37により電極チップ7・9の変形部分が凹凸状になりながら先端側へ押延される際には、図8右断面に示すように電極チップ7・9における先端側外周面に当接する切削部材39における第1切削刃41・43の底面側部分により押延される余分な変形部分を切削して除去することにより電極チップ再生具11の回転抵抗を低減することができる。 Further, when the deformed portions of the electrode tips 7 and 9 are pushed to the tip side by the outer peripheral surface extending portions 35 and 37 while being uneven, as shown in the right cross section of FIG. The cutting resistance of the electrode tip regenerator 11 is reduced by cutting and removing the excessively deformed portion that is pushed by the bottom portion of the first cutting blades 41 and 43 of the cutting member 39 that contacts the outer peripheral surface of the tip side. can do.

更に、上記したように外周面押延し部35・37により先端側へ押延される変形部分が先端面に盛り上げられた際には、図9右断面に示すように盛り上げられた先端面に当接する切削部材39の第2切削刃45・47により余分な盛り上げ部分を切削して除去することにより盛り上げられた先端面に圧接する先端面押延し部23・25の回転抵抗を低減することができる。 Further, as described above, when the deformed portion pushed to the front end side by the outer circumferential surface extending portions 35 and 37 is raised to the front end surface, the raised front end surface as shown in the right cross section of FIG. By cutting and removing the excess raised portions with the second cutting blades 45 and 47 of the cutting member 39 that comes into contact, the rotational resistance of the tip surface extending portions 23 and 25 that press against the raised tip surface is reduced. Can do.

なお、外周面押延し部35・37及び先端面押延し部23・25により押延されながら切削部材39により切削される余分な変形部分は大きく成長することなく、切欠き部29を介して電極チップ再生具11外へ排出される。 In addition, the excessive deformation | transformation part cut | disconnected by the cutting member 39 while being extended by the outer peripheral surface extension parts 35 and 37 and the front end surface extension parts 23 and 25 does not grow large, and it passes through the notch part 29. Then, it is discharged out of the electrode tip regenerator 11.

また、電極チップ7・9の先端部には溶接作業時に異物が付着したり、通電時の熱によりワークから溶融蒸発した金属が蒸着して電極チップ7・9より硬度が高い酸化合金膜が形成されたりするが、電極チップ7・9を再生する際に上記した再生作業に先立って電極チップ7・9の先端部外周面に対して電極チップ再生具11を回転しながら外周面押延し部35・37を、また先端面に対して先端面押延し部23・25をそれぞれ圧接して付着した異物や酸化合金膜を削り取って切削屑排出孔27から排出させることにより再生作業を効率的に行う。 In addition, foreign matter adheres to the tip of the electrode tips 7 and 9 during welding work, or metal melted and evaporated from the work due to heat during energization is deposited to form an oxide alloy film having a hardness higher than that of the electrode tips 7 and 9. However, when the electrode tips 7 and 9 are regenerated, the outer peripheral surface extension portion is rotated while rotating the electrode tip regenerating tool 11 with respect to the outer peripheral surface of the tip portion of the electrode tips 7 and 9 prior to the above-described regeneration operation. 35 and 37, and the tip surface extension portions 23 and 25 are pressed against the tip surface, and the attached foreign matter and the oxide alloy film are scraped off and discharged from the cutting waste discharge hole 27, so that the regeneration operation is efficient. To do.

本実施例は、ワークに対する圧接により変形した電極チップ7・9の先端部に先端部押延し部35・37を、また先端面に先端面押延し部23・25を圧接して正規形状に整形する際に、切削部材39の第1切削刃41・43により電極チップ7・9の先端部基端側へ押延される余分な変形部分を切除してスカート片7a・9aが形成されるのを防止すると共に第1切削刃41・43及び第2切削刃45・47により電極チップ7・9の先端面側へ押延される余分な変形部分を切除して電極チップ再生具11の回転抵抗を低減して電極チップ7・9を効率的に正規形状へ整形して再生することができる。 In this embodiment, the tip end portions 35 and 37 are pressed to the tip portions of the electrode tips 7 and 9 deformed by pressure contact with the workpiece, and the tip surface extension portions 23 and 25 are pressed to the tip surface to form a regular shape. When shaping the skirt pieces 7a and 9a, the excessively deformed portions pushed toward the proximal end side of the tip portions of the electrode tips 7 and 9 by the first cutting blades 41 and 43 of the cutting member 39 are cut off. In addition, the first cutting blades 41 and 43 and the second cutting blades 45 and 47 are used to cut off excessive deformed portions that are pushed to the tip surface side of the electrode tips 7 and 9 to remove the electrode tip regenerating tool 11. It is possible to reduce the rotational resistance and efficiently reshape the electrode tips 7 and 9 into a regular shape and reproduce them.
