Abstract

PURPOSE:To punch a hole without producing sharp, peripheral edge and burr by applying a high frequency voltage between a pair of electrodes, dielectrically heating an inter-electrode portion of a resin tube held between both electrodes, and punching the dielectrically heated portion by a tip part of a second electrode. CONSTITUTION:A first electrode 10a is inserted into a resin tube 20, and a second electrode 10b is located outside the resin tube 20. A high frequency voltage is applied between these electrodes 10a and 10b by a power source 30, and an inter-electrode portion 21 of the resin tube 20 held between both electrodes 10a and 10b is dielectrically heated. The inter-electrode portion 21 is thus melted, and in the melted condition, the resin tube 20 is punched by a tip part of the second electrode 10b to make a through-hole through the tube 20. As a result, the through hole can be formed without producing sharpened peripheral edge and burrs.

By the way, as a conventional method for wide-opening the resin tube 200, a core metal is inserted into the resin tube 20, and a blade disposed on the outside of the resin tube 20 is moved toward the core metal, thereby opening the resin tube 20. A so-called punching method is used, in which a part of the circumferential surface is punched out using the tip of a blade.

(Problem to be Solved by the Invention) In this hole-drilling method by punching, a part of the resin tube 20 is mechanically sheared, so that a burr is generated on the periphery 24 of the punched through hole 22. Moreover, it was inevitable that the peripheral edge 24 would be finished sharply. When such a resin tube is used, for example, as a medical tube, it is dangerous because the particles remaining inside the tube may enter the body, and the sharp edges formed on the outer surface of the resin tube are dangerous. Since the peripheral edge 24 is exposed outside the tube, it is painful to touch, and there is also a risk of damaging tissue when inserted into the body.

(Function) The interelectrode portion of the resin tube sandwiched between the first electrode and the second electrode is melted by dielectric heating, and when the resin is in a molten state, the resin tube is pushed out. Because strong shearing force does not act on the resin tube, the peripheral edge of the hole formed by punching does not become sharp.
Nor will Paris arise. Moreover, since the second electrode for heating the resin tube can be used as a punching member as it is, the process from heating to punching can be easily performed in one step.
