A mode for implementing the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 , the heater nozzle unit 1 includes a plate-shaped heater nozzle 2 for thermocompression bonding of the terminal lead wire A to the terminal member B (refer to FIG. 2( d )). ; And the thermocouple 3 is installed on the heating nozzle 2 as a temperature sensor. The heating nozzle 2 is a nozzle formed by processing a plate of a conductive material (tungsten, molybdenum, superhard material, etc.) by wire electrical discharge machining, and as shown in FIG. The lower part of the heater nozzle 2 (the front end part on the workpiece (terminal lead wire A or the terminal member B) side) and the pair of left and right connecting arm parts 7 form the upper part (base part). Furthermore, when the soldering iron portion 6 is energized to the soldering iron portion 6 through the connection arm portion 7 , the resistance can be used to generate heat, and the temperature of the soldering iron portion 6 can be measured by the thermocouple 3 .

The soldering iron portion 6 includes a horizontally long soldering iron body 11 that connects the lower portions of the connecting arm portions 7 to each other, and the horizontal width of the soldering iron body 11 (the dimension along the horizontal direction in which the pair of connecting arm portions 7 are arranged) is set. It is in a state of gradually narrowing toward the lower part of the heating nozzle 2 . In addition, at the bottom of the soldering iron body 11 protruding slightly downward, a box-shaped soldering iron tip portion 13 is protruded downward, and the bottom surface (tip surface) of the soldering iron tip portion 13 can be brought into contact as a soldering iron tip surface 13a. to terminal wire A. In addition, a substantially rectangular soldering iron recess 15 is formed on the upper portion (connecting arm portion 7 side) opposite to the soldering iron tip portion 13 of the soldering iron body 11, and the temperature measurement of the thermocouple 3 is fixed in the soldering iron recess 15. Contact (temperature measuring part) 3a. In addition, the structure for fixing the temperature measuring contact 3a will be described in detail later.

The connecting arm portions 7 are vertically long components extending upward from the left and right ends of the soldering iron body 11 , and are provided in a state where the connecting arm portions 7 are separated from each other. Moreover, it is comprised so that the nozzle holder (not shown) for attaching to the nozzle holder (not shown) of the thermocompression-bonding apparatus is comprised in the upper part (extended end part) of the connection arm part 7. The mounting hole 17 penetrates in the thickness direction of the heating nozzle 2, and by screwing the mounting bolt (not shown) passing through the mounting hole 17 to the nozzle holder, the front end portion 13 of the soldering iron is directed downward. The heated nozzle unit 1 is attached to the nozzle holder in the posture of .

In addition, in the nozzle unit 1 attached to the nozzle holder, one connecting arm 7 is electrically connected to one end of a power supply (not shown) for a heater of the thermocompression bonding apparatus, and the other connecting arm 7 Then it is electrically connected to the other end of the power supply for the heater. Furthermore, when a current is passed from a power source (power source for heater) to the heater tip 2, the current flows into the soldering iron body 11 through the connecting arm portion 7, so that the soldering iron body 11 is connected to the soldering iron body 11 by the resistance in the soldering iron body 11. Heat is generated, and the tip portion 13 of the soldering iron is heated up by this heat. In addition, although the current in the soldering iron body 11 flows from the side of one connecting arm portion 7 to the side of the other connecting arm portion 7 , the cross-sectional area of the reduced diameter portion located at the corner of the concave portion 15 of the soldering iron is due to the path through which the current flows. Since the cross-sectional area is narrower than that of other parts, the current density becomes the highest at the reduced diameter part, and Joule heat due to resistance is likely to be generated around this part.

Furthermore, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2( d ), the heating nozzle 2 is structured such that the heating nozzle 2 is attached to the range from the lower part of the connecting arm part 7 to the soldering iron body 11 on the front and back sides of the heating nozzle 2 . The grooves 20 are each extending in the left-right direction (direction from one connecting arm portion 7 to the other connecting arm portion 7 ) as the grooved portion of the present invention, and are formed thin by the extension of the grooves 20 on the front and back. The wall portion 21 is formed, and the tip portion 13 of the soldering iron is protruded below the thin-walled portion 21 . In other words, it is configured to be formed at a position where the thin portion 21 and the tip end portion 13 of the soldering iron are shifted (specifically, it is closer to the connecting arm portion 7 than the tip end portion 13 of the soldering iron).

In addition, as shown in FIG. 2( d ), the depth dimension of the groove 20 on the front and back (the dimension in the thickness direction of the heating nozzle 2 ) is set to be the same, and the connecting arm portion 7 and the soldering iron body 11 (thin-walled) are set to be the same. 21 ) and the center of each thickness direction of the tip 13 of the soldering iron are located on the same plane, and the thickness of the tip 13 of the soldering iron is set to be the same as the thickness of the connecting arm 7 . In addition, the surface of the thin portion 21 serving as the bottom of the groove 20 is set as the side surface (front and back) of the soldering iron body 11, and the thickness of the soldering iron body 11 (thickness of the thin portion 21) is set to be greater than that of the soldering iron body 11. The plate thickness of the connecting arm portion 7 is thinner, and the cross-section of the soldering iron body 11 is set so that the The area (in other words, the cross-sectional area as the flow path through which the current flows) is smaller than the cross-sectional area of the connection arm portion 7 . In addition, the thickness t1 of the side surface of the soldering iron body 11 is formed to be larger than the thickness of the connecting arm portion 7 (specifically, the thickness of the connecting arm portion 7 after removing the thin-walled portion 21 (the thickness of the connecting arm portion 7 is the same as the thickness of the connecting arm portion 7). The thickness of the part where the wall portion 21 is shifted)) t2 is thinner (refer to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2(d)).

Next, the configuration of the thermocouple 3 attached to the heater nozzle 2 and the heater nozzle 2 to which the thermocouple 3 is attached will be described.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 3 , the thermocouple 3 forms a spherical temperature measuring junction (temperature measuring portion) 3 a by welding the tips of two types of core wires 25 to each other, and is covered with an electrically insulating core wire. The respective core wires 25 are covered by the material 26, and the wires 3b are formed by being covered by the outer covering material 27 and bundled into one. In other words, the conducting wire 3 b is constituted so as to include the core wire 25 . In addition, the diameter of the temperature measuring contact 3a and the wire diameter of the lead wire 3b are set to be smaller than the plate thickness of the heating nozzle 2, respectively.

In addition, the heater tip 2 is provided with an accommodation portion for the lead wire 3b in the gap between the connection arm portions 7, and the soldering iron portion 6 is provided with a fixing portion for the temperature measuring contact 3a. Specifically, as shown in Fig. 1 and Fig. 2(a), (b), the gap between the connecting arm portions 7 extending along the longitudinal direction of the connecting arm portion 7 is set to be smaller than the line of the lead wire 3b. The width (thickness, width) of one turn larger in diameter serves as a lead wire accommodating cavity 30 whose upper end portion is open, and in the lead wire accommodating cavity 30, the lead wire 3b does not protrude from the front and back surfaces of the heating nozzle 2 to the outside. In the state where the lead wire 3b (specifically, the portion of the lead wire 3b located close to the temperature measuring contact 3a) is accommodated. Furthermore, the lead wire 3b is extended from the opening 30a of the upper end portion of the lead wire accommodating cavity 30, and the lower end of the wire accommodating cavity 30 is extended to communicate with the soldering iron concave part 15 (see FIG. 1).

Furthermore, in each connecting arm portion 7 , a portion of the side surface facing the wire accommodating cavity 30 is notched, and a blocking recess 31 is formed in a state in which it communicates with the wire accommodating cavity 30 . The stopper recess 31 and a part of the lead wire accommodating cavity 30 (the part located between the stopper recesses 31 ) are provided with a lead stopper so as to be cured by injecting resin such as ultraviolet curing resin or thermosetting resin 32 , and the wire 3 b is prevented from protruding from the heating nozzle 2 by being displaced from the wire accommodating cavity 30 by the wire stopper 32 .

In addition, a portion of the soldering iron recess 15 formed in the soldering iron portion 6 that faces the end (lower end portion) of the lead wire accommodating cavity 30 is provided with a thermocouple 3 in a state of protruding toward the upper connecting arm portion 7 side. The temperature measurement fixing part 35 to which the temperature measurement contact 3a is fixed. As shown in FIG. 3 , the temperature measurement fixing portion 35 is protruded from the protruding portion opposite to the tip portion 13 of the soldering iron across the iron body 11 , and is formed to be smaller than the tip portion 13 of the soldering iron. In addition, a pair of fixed contact surfaces 35a for contacting the temperature measuring contacts 3a are provided in the portion facing the lead wire accommodating cavity 30 side (the upper part of the temperature measurement fixing portion 35) and face the lead wire. The end portion of the accommodating cavity 30 is set in a state where the distance between the fixed contact surfaces 35a gradually expands from the side of the soldering iron portion 6 toward the side of the upper lead accommodating cavity 30 . Furthermore, by forming each of the fixed contact surfaces 35a as flat surfaces, a V-shaped groove 36 is formed on the upper part of the temperature measurement fixing part 35 (the upper part on the side of the wire receiving cavity 30), and is located in the groove. The temperature measuring contact 3a is received in the groove 36 to be in contact with the fixed contact surface 35a, and the temperature measuring contact 3a is fixed to the soldering iron part 6 (temperature measuring fixing part 35) by welding or the like in this state.

Next, the manufacturing procedure of the heater nozzle unit 1 , in particular, the attachment procedure of the thermocouple 3 to the heater nozzle 2 will be described.

First, as shown in FIG. 4( a ), the heater nozzle 2 and the thermocouple 3 that are individually prepared in advance are arranged in a state in which the opening 30 a of the lead wire receiving cavity 30 faces the temperature measuring contact 3 a , and the heater nozzle is set 2 and the posture of the thermocouple 3 are arranged on the same straight line in the order of the temperature measurement fixing part 35 , the lead wire storage cavity 30 , the temperature measurement contact point 3 a , and the lead wire 3 b . When the postures of the heater nozzle 2 and the thermocouple 3 are set, the thermocouple 3 is inserted into the opening 30a of the lead wire storage cavity 30 of the heater nozzle 2 with the temperature measuring contact 3a as the front. Then, the side surface of the connection arm part 7 becomes a guide, and guides the thermocouple 3 to the soldering iron part 6 side.

Furthermore, when the thermocouple 3 is deeply inserted, as shown in FIG. 4( b ), the temperature measuring contact 3 a enters the soldering iron concave portion 15 after passing through the lead wire receiving cavity 30 . Here, as shown in Figure 3(a), in the soldering iron In the part 6, the temperature measurement fixing part 35 is provided at the part facing the lower end part (the open end part on the side of the soldering iron part 6) of the lead wire accommodating hollow part 30, and the V-shaped fixing contact surfaces 35a are opposed to each other. Towards the end of the lead wire accommodating cavity 30 , the temperature measuring contact 3 a entering into the soldering iron recess 15 reaches the temperature measuring fixing portion 35 to contact (abut) the fixing contact surface 35 a. In this way, the temperature measurement contact 3a can be brought into contact with the fixed contact surface 35a (the temperature measurement fixed portion 35) easily and reliably. Therefore, preparation for fixing the temperature measuring contact 3 a to the temperature measuring fixing portion 35 can be smoothly performed.

Furthermore, the lead wire 3b is pressed toward the temperature-measuring fixing portion 35 to maintain the contact of the temperature-measuring contact 3a with the fixing contact surface 35a, and in this state, the temperature-measuring contact 3a and the fixing contact surface 35a are borrowed. It is fixed (welded) by laser welding. Specifically, the fixed contact surface 35a is heated by irradiating a laser beam, and the temperature measuring contact 3a is melted and fixed (welded) by this heat. At this time, as shown in FIG. 3( a ), since the temperature measurement fixing portion 35 is set in a state where the distance between the fixing contact surfaces 35 a gradually expands upward from the side of the soldering iron portion 6 , the The temperature-measuring contact 3 a can be sufficiently contacted with the temperature-measuring fixing portion 35 . Therefore, it is possible to configure the heater nozzle unit 1 which can perform good fixation of the temperature measuring contact 3a to the heater nozzle 2, and can also perform good temperature measurement. In addition, since the fixed contact surface 35a is formed as a flat surface, and the temperature measurement contact 3a is formed as a spherical body, the temperature measurement contact 3a can easily make point contact with the fixed contact surface 35a. In addition, by pressing the temperature measuring contact 3a against the fixed contact surface 35a, stress is easily concentrated and the temperature measuring contact 3a is less likely to float from the fixed contact surface 35a. Thereby, the temperature-measuring contact 3a can be fixed to the heater nozzle 2 more favorably, and the temperature measurement of the heater nozzle 2 can be performed more favorably.

If the temperature measurement contact 3a is fixed to the temperature measurement fixing portion 35, as shown in FIG. The concave portion 31 is filled with resin such as ultraviolet curable resin or thermosetting resin in the state before curing (fluid state), and then resin curing treatment such as ultraviolet irradiation or heating is performed to cure the resin to form the lead stopper 32 .

In the heater nozzle unit 1 constituted by attaching the thermocouple 3 to the heater nozzle 2 in this manner, since the lead wire 3b of the thermocouple 3 is accommodated in the lead wire accommodating cavity 30, the lead wire 3b of the thermocouple 3 can be prevented from being overheated. The range of plate thickness of mouth 2. Therefore, in the process of installing the nozzle unit 1 to the thermocompression bonding apparatus, etc., or when the nozzle unit enters the work area, it is less likely that the lead wire 3b is accidentally caught. Defect of the heater tip falling off. In addition, when a plurality of heater nozzle units 1 are to be integrated at the time of transportation (shipping) or storage, the heater nozzle units 1 can be stacked stably without hindrance, and the transportation operation or storage operation can be performed smoothly.

Furthermore, since the lead wire stopper 32 is provided in the lead wire accommodating cavity 30 , the defect that the accommodated lead wire 3 b falls off from the lead wire accommodating cavity 30 can be prevented. In addition, since the resin injected and hardened into the lead wire accommodating cavity 30 is used as the lead wire stopper 32, the resin can be easily inserted as the lead wire stopper 32 into the gap between the connection arm portion 7 and the lead wire 3b, and sufficient blocking is possible. Stop wire 3b. In addition, since the stopper recess 31 communicated with the lead wire accommodating part 30 is provided, and the resin belonging to the lead wire stopper 32 is injected into the lead wire accommodating part 30 and the stopper recess 31 and hardened, the lead wire stopper 32 is not easily removed from the wire. The wire accommodating hollow portion 30 is removed, and the defect that the wire 3 b can be prevented from falling off from the wire accommodating hollow portion 30 together with the wire stopper portion 32 can be suppressed.

In addition, as an operation for thermocompression bonding of the lead wire A for terminals to the terminal member B using the heater tip unit 1, first, the heater tip unit 1 is attached to the thermocompressor with the tip portion 13 of the soldering iron on the lower side. The nozzle holder of the apparatus was connected, and the lead wire 3b of the thermocouple 3 was connected to a thermocouple connection terminal (not shown) of the thermocompression bonding apparatus. Then, the terminal member B and the lead wire A for terminals are placed in a work area (neither are not shown) provided below the nozzle holder, and the lead wire A for terminals is superimposed on the upper surface of the terminal member B. When the terminal member B and the lead wire A for terminals are already set, the tip unit 1 of the heating tip is lowered together with the nozzle holder, the tip portion 13 of the soldering iron is pressed against the lead wire A for terminals, and the soldering iron is energized by energizing the heating tip 2. The main body 11 generates heat, and the terminal wire A is thermocompression-bonded to the terminal member B. As shown in FIG. In addition, the temperature of the soldering iron portion 6 is measured by the thermocouple 3, and the control portion (not shown) of the thermocompression bonding apparatus controls the energization of the heater tip 2 based on the measured value, and further performs the soldering iron tip portion 13. temperature control.

Here, in the heating nozzle 2 that generates heat, the thickness of the soldering iron body 11 is set to be thinner than the thickness of the connecting arm portion 7 , and the cross-sectional area of the soldering iron body 11 is set to be thinner than the cross-sectional area of the connecting arm portion 7 . Since the area is smaller, even if the thickness of the heater nozzle 2 is set to be thick, the defect that the current density in the soldering iron body 11 decreases and the heat generation becomes insufficient can be suppressed. Therefore, regardless of the increase or decrease of the plate thickness of the heater nozzle 2, it is easy to realize good heat generation efficiency. In addition, an increase in the volume of the soldering iron body 11 can be avoided, thereby avoiding an increase in the heat capacity, and the cooling of the soldering iron body 11 or the front end portion 13 of the soldering iron can be easily performed quickly. Furthermore, the thin portion 21 is formed by extending the groove 20 from the lower part of the connecting arm portion 7 to the soldering iron body 11 , and the surface of the thin portion 21 serving as the bottom of the groove 20 is the soldering iron body 11 . Therefore, the structure of the heating nozzle 2 in which the thickness of the soldering iron body 11 is thinner than that of the connecting arm portion 7 can be easily realized.

In addition, since the tip portion 13 of the soldering iron is protruded below the thin-walled portion 21, when a foreign matter (insulation coating of the lead wire A for terminals, etc.) adheres to the tip portion 13 of the soldering iron due to the thermocompression bonding operation, it is easy to Foreign matter is removed by grinding the front end of the tip portion 13 of the soldering iron or the like. Furthermore, the grinding margin of the tip end of the tip end portion 13 of the soldering iron can be sufficiently ensured, and the replacement cycle (service life) of the heater nozzle unit can be prolonged. Furthermore, since the thin-walled portion 21 is formed on the side of the connecting arm portion 7 rather than the tip portion 13 of the soldering iron, and the thickness of the side surface of the soldering iron body 11 is formed to be larger than the thickness of the connecting arm portion 7 after removing the thin-walled portion 21 . Since it is thin, the reduction of the current density in the soldering iron body 11 can be suppressed, and at the same time, the dimension in the plate thickness direction in the front end face of the front end portion 13 of the soldering iron can be sufficiently ensured. Thereby, the allowable range of the size of the workpiece (the object to be thermocompressed) that can be thermocompressed by the heating nozzle 2 can be expanded. In addition, since the thin portion 21 is formed at a position shifted from the tip portion 13 of the soldering iron, and the thickness of the tip portion 13 of the soldering iron is set to be the same as the thickness of the connecting arm portion 7, it is not necessary to make the thickness of the tip portion 13 of the soldering iron different from the thickness of the tip portion 13 of the soldering iron. The heating nozzle 2 can be easily manufactured by increasing or decreasing the thickness of the connecting arm portion 7 .

Furthermore, since the centers of the respective thickness directions of the connecting arm portion 7, the soldering iron body 11, and the soldering iron tip portion 13 are located on the same plane, it is difficult to generate a bending moment in the heating tip 2 during the thermocompression bonding operation, which can prevent the heating tip from being damaged. 2. The defect of applying excess load, which can prevent the heating nozzle 2 from being easily damaged Defects. Furthermore, since the thermocouple 3 is installed on the soldering iron portion 6 of the heating tip 2 as a temperature sensor, the information of the temperature of the soldering iron portion 6 can be obtained and applied to the control of the heat generation of the heating tip 2 . In addition, the temperature sensor can be realized by a simple configuration.

However, in the above-mentioned embodiment, the soldering iron body 11 is constituted by extending the grooves 20 to the front and back sides of the heating nozzle 2 to form the thin-walled portions 21 , but the present invention is not limited to this. In short, as long as the thickness of the soldering iron body 11 is set to be thinner than the thickness of the connecting arm portion 7, and the cross-sectional area of the soldering iron body 11 is set to be smaller than the cross-sectional area of the connecting arm portion 7, the heating tip 2 Any shape of the soldering iron body 11 can be provided.

Therefore, the area to be thinned by means of grooves or the like may be within the connecting arm portion 7 , and may not necessarily be the entire area of the soldering iron body 11 .

In addition, although the plate thickness of the tip portion 13 of the soldering iron and the plate thickness of the connecting arm portion 7 are set to the same dimension, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, by reducing the thickness of the tip portion 13 of the soldering iron and setting it to be thinner than the thickness of the connecting arm portion 7, the degree of freedom of the thickness dimension of the tip portion 13 of the soldering iron can be increased, and the design can be easily performed corresponding to the thermocompression bonding process. The heating nozzle 2 is the size of the workpiece (terminal member B, terminal lead wire A). In addition, as shown in FIG. 3, although the temperature measurement fixing|fixed part 35 is comprised so that the whole is smaller than the tip part 13 of the soldering iron, this invention is not limited to this.

In addition, as long as the temperature measuring contact (temperature measuring part) 3a can be sufficiently contacted with the fixed contact surface 35a, the temperature measuring contact 3a is not limited to be formed into a spherical body, and may be formed in any shape. In addition, although the temperature measurement contact point 3a of the thermocouple 3 and the temperature measurement fixing|fixed part 35 are welded and fixed, this invention is not limited to this. In short, as long as the temperature measurement of the soldering iron part 6 can be performed, the fixed state of the temperature measurement contact 3 a and the temperature measurement fixing part 35 is not limited. For example, an adhesive (adhesive) having good thermal conductivity may be used to fix the temperature measurement contact 3 a and the temperature measurement fixing portion 35 .

In addition, in the heater nozzle 2 of the said embodiment, although the wire-accommodating hollow part 30 is comprised so that it may extend linearly along the longitudinal direction of the connection arm part 7, this invention is not limited to this.

In short, the shape of the lead wire stopper 32 is not limited as long as the lead wire 3 b accommodated in the lead wire accommodating cavity 30 can be stopped and prevented from falling out of the lead wire accommodating cavity 30 . For example, a cap that can be fitted into the lead wire accommodating cavity 30 may be used as the lead wire stopper, or a protrusion that is integrally formed on the connecting arm portion 7 and protrudes toward the lead wire accommodating cavity 30 may be used as the lead wire stopper. Wire stop.

An example of the wire stopper formed by protrusions, the heating nozzle 2" of the modification example shown in FIG. 4-1, is basically the same as the above-mentioned embodiment (the first embodiment), but the difference is Instead of forming the stopper concave portion 31 for filling with resin, a rectangular protrusion-shaped lead wire stopper 37 is provided. A plurality of (two in this modification) lead wire stoppers 37 are protruded toward the other connecting arm portion 7 in a state of being separated from each other along the longitudinal direction of the lead wire accommodating cavity 30. In addition, from the other side of the connecting arm 7 The side faces facing the wire accommodating cavity 30 are in a state of being separated from each other along the longitudinal direction of the wire accommodating cavity 30, and the wire accommodating cavity 30 and the wire on one of the connecting arms 7 are prevented from being blocked by the wire accommodating cavity 30. In a state in which the parts 37 face each other, a plurality of (two in the present modification) lead wire stopper parts 37 are protruded toward one of the connecting arm parts 7 . In addition, as shown in Fig. 4-1(d), each wire stopper 37 on the one connecting arm 7 is arranged on the surface close to the heating nozzle 2", and the other connecting arm 7 is placed on the surface of the heating nozzle 2". Each of the wire stoppers 37 is disposed near the back of the heating nozzle 2 ″, and the wire stoppers 37 are located at positions staggered from each other along the longitudinal direction of the wire accommodating cavity 30 .

Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 4-1(b), the wire engaging portion 37a of each wire stopper 37 for engaging the outer peripheral surface of the wire 3b is set to a curved surface, so that the wire 3b and the wire The stopper 37 is easy to make surface contact. In addition, the lead wire stopper 37 is formed by forming rectangular protrusions in the lead wire receiving cavity 30 in advance when wire cutting (wire electrical discharge machining) of the plate material used for the heater nozzle 2" is performed, and thereafter, electrical discharge machining (mold opening) is performed. Electrode of electric discharge machining) approaches the protrusion from the outside of the lead-receiving cavity 30 to form a lead-wire engaging portion 37a, and is provided on the heater nozzle 2". In addition, the formation method of the lead wire engaging part 37a is not limited to electric discharge machining, For example, a laser processing etc. may be sufficient as it.

In this way, as long as the lead wire stopper 37 integrally formed with the connecting arm portion 7 is used, the function of preventing the lead wire 3b from falling off can be realized with a simple structure. In addition, it is not necessary to perform the filling operation of the resin or wait until the resin is hardened, so that the efficiency of the manufacturing operation of the heater nozzle unit can be improved.

In addition, although the stopper concave portion 31 communicated with the wire accommodating cavity 30 is formed by the shallow cutout on the side surface of the wire accommodating cavity 30 , the present invention is not limited to this. In short, as long as the resin belonging to the lead wire stopper 32 is injected from the lead wire accommodating cavity 30 to the stopper recess 31 and can be hardened, any configuration of the stopper recess 31 can be adopted. For example, groove-shaped stopper recesses may be formed on the front and back sides of the connecting arm portion 7, respectively, and the ends of the stopper recesses may be communicated with the lead wire accommodating portion 30, and the resin (lead stopper portion 32) may be formed. ) is injected from the wire accommodating cavity 30 to the stopper recess.

Furthermore, in the above-mentioned embodiment, the thermocouple 3 is exemplified as the temperature sensor of the present invention, and the temperature measuring junction 3a of the thermocouple 3 is exemplified as the temperature measuring portion of the present invention, but it is not limited to this. . In short, as long as the temperature of the soldering iron part 6 can be measured, and the end of the lead wire 3b is provided with a temperature sensor composed of a temperature measurement part, any temperature sensor can be used and attached to the heating nozzle 2 .

However, in the said embodiment, although the groove|channel 20 was illustrated as the gouging part of this invention, this invention is not limited to this. In short, as long as the thin-walled portion is formed as a heating nozzle by extending the gouged portion in the direction from one connecting arm portion toward the other connecting arm portion, the gouged portion can be set in any form. For example, the heating nozzle 2 ″ of the second embodiment shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. 6 is basically the same as the above-mentioned embodiment (the first embodiment), but the difference is: not only in the The front and back sides of the heating nozzle 2" also form a planing part in the middle part of the heating nozzle 2' in the plate thickness direction, so that the lower half of the heating nozzle 2' branches into two branches, thereby having two soldering iron bodies.

Specifically, the heating nozzle 2' is attached to the middle part of the soldering iron part 6' located in the lower part of the heating nozzle 2' in the plate thickness direction, and is formed along the left-right direction (from the connecting arm part 7 on one side to the other side). The soldering iron space portion 40 extending in the direction of the connection arm portion 7) serves as a grooved portion, and the soldering iron space portion 40 is opened downward. Furthermore, a soldering iron main body 11 and a soldering iron front end portion 13 are respectively provided on both sides of the front and back of the heating tip 2' across the soldering iron space portion 40. In other words, the soldering iron portion 6' of the heater tip 2' includes two soldering iron bodies 11 that are spaced apart from each other and two soldering iron tip portions 13 that are spaced apart from each other. Furthermore, in each soldering iron body 11, grooves 20 are formed on the outer surface, and grooves 20' are also formed on the inner surface. In addition, there are soldering iron concave portions 15 on which temperature measuring fixing portions 35 are protruded. Each temperature-measuring fixing portion 35 can fix the temperature-measuring junction (temperature-measuring portion) 3a of the thermocouple 3, and in each soldering iron tip portion 13, the plate thickness of the soldering iron tip portion 13 is set to be larger than that of the connecting arm portion. 7 is thinner.

As long as the heater tip 2' provided with the soldering iron portion 6' is constructed as described above, the two soldering iron tip portions 13 can simultaneously perform the thermocompression bonding process at two locations, and the efficiency of the thermocompression bonding operation can be improved. In addition, by setting the size of the soldering iron space portion 40 in the thickness direction, it can be adjusted according to the workpiece.

In addition, in the aforementioned embodiment, an oxidation resistance coating layer may be formed on the surface of the heater nozzle to improve oxidation resistance.

The oxidation-resistant coating layer will be described below.

In the heater tip, since the temperature rises and cools repeatedly for each thermocompression bonding, the surface is easily oxidized, especially in the vicinity of the soldering iron part 6 (heating part) and the part where the thermocouple 3 is welded. As a result, the oxidized portion near the heat generating portion peels off to reduce the strength, resulting in a defect that it is broken during pressurization, and the welded portion of the thermocouple corrodes to reduce the strength, and eventually the thermocouple becomes unusable due to detachment, etc. Defects.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, the oxidation resistance is improved by forming the oxidation resistance coating layer on the surface of the heater nozzle. Hereinafter, it demonstrates concretely including a manufacturing process.

first. As for the metal plate used as a material (substrate), specifically, it is preferable to use tungsten (hardness of about HV430), which has been generally used in the past, and so-called superhard, which is more excellent in abrasion resistance than tungsten alloy (hardness of about HV200 to 400). material (hardness HV900 to 2400) (official name: cemented carbide, an alloy formed by sintering hard metal carbide powder), and the plate of this superhard material is cut into a predetermined shape by wire cutting. Next, this cut-out piece is subjected to a pre-plating treatment, and after that, it is immersed in a dissolution tank and energized, whereby an oxidation-resistant coating layer made of nickel is formed on the surface of the cut-out piece, that is, nickel plating is applied. cover. After that, it is pulled up from the dissolution tank to perform post-processing such as washing.

Furthermore, as in the above-mentioned embodiment, the temperature measurement contact 3a of the thermocouple 3 is welded to the temperature measurement fixing portion 35 by laser welding. In this welding, since the coating of the nickel layer is formed on the surface (fixed contact surface 35a) of the temperature-measurement fixing portion 35, the wettability is improved, thereby improving the reliability of welding and the welding strength. In addition, when the wettability during welding is improved, the output of the laser can be suppressed more than the conventional one, and the damage to the substrate can be suppressed, and the improvement of quality and the saving of energy consumption can be achieved.

When the welding of the thermocouple 3 is completed, the pre-plating treatment is further performed, and the heating nozzle unit 1 equipped with the thermocouple 3 is immersed in the electrolyte. Nickel plating is applied to the surface.

When the nozzle unit 1 fabricated in this way is used, the oxidation resistance is improved, so that peeling or strength reduction due to oxidation of the soldering iron portion 6 or the mounting portion of the thermocouple 3 can be suppressed, and thereby the durability can be improved. Sexual enhancement. In particular, when a superhard material is used as the base material and nickel plating is performed, both the wettability and the weldability can be improved, and the durability can be surely improved. In addition, since the main component of the thermocouple is nickel, the nickel plating affinity is good. In addition, the oxidation-resistant coating is not limited to nickel plating, and may be, for example, gold plating or the like.
