- Patent Document 1 An apparatus described in Patent Document 1 is an example of the above-described infrared heating apparatus, and used for, for example, partial heating of a steel sheet during hot press molding in which quenching is carried out at the same time as press molding.
- a portion irradiated with infrared rays is heated up to a temperature equal to or higher than, for example, the Ac3 point temperature and is quenched and hardened by a press, whereas a shielded portion is kept at a low temperature lower than the Ac3 point temperature without being quenched and hardened, so as to be maintained under a low strength.
- a process of bending, drawing, punching or the like can be appropriately carried out in, for example, a low-strength region even after the hot press molding.
- Patent Document 1 Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2010-44875
- a shielding member is directly disposed on a to-be-heated member and the to-be-heated member is irradiated with infrared rays, the shielding member is also heated due to direct heat transfer from the to-be-heated member, and thus the shielding member deteriorates early and needs to be replaced in a short period. If the shielding member is disposed apart from the to-be-heated member in a non-contact state, early deterioration caused by heating due to heat transfer is prevented.
- the flexibility in setting the shape of a heated region is lowered, for example, forming only a central portion of the to-be-heated member as a low-temperature region in the form of an island is not possible.
- a prescribed stiffness needs to be ensured to prevent flexural deformation and thus the plate thickness of the shielding member increases, leading to a cost increase.
- the invention is made in light of the above-described circumstances, and an object of the invention is to provide an infrared heating apparatus having a high degree of flexibility in setting the shape of a heated region, for example, such a flexibility that a low-temperature region can be set in the form of an island, and causing no need to ensure a stiffness of a shielding member, when the shielding member is disposed apart from a to-be-heated member in a non-contact state in order to prevent heating of the shielding member.
- the first aspect of the invention provides an infrared heating apparatus that irradiates a member to be heated with infrared rays from an infrared source to heat the member to be heated, and sets a heated region of the member to be heated with use of a shielding member that restricts transmission of the infrared rays, characterized in that a holding member that allows the infrared rays to be transmitted there through is disposed between the infrared source and the member to be heated, and the shielding member is held by the holding member.
- the second aspect of the invention provides the infrared heating apparatus recited in the first aspect of the invention, characterized in that (a) the holding member includes a plurality of heat-resistant glass plates placed on each other in such a posture as to intersect with an irradiation direction of the infrared rays; and (b) the shielding member is a metal sheet, metal foil or a metal film, which is held between the plurality of heat-resistant glass plates.
- the third aspect of the invention provides the infrared heating apparatus recited in the second aspect of the invention, characterized in that the shielding member is the metal film that is vapor-deposited on a surface of the heat-resistant glass plate other than the heat-resistant glass plate located nearest to the member to be heated, the surface being located on the member to be heated side, or on a surface of any one of the heat-resistant glass plates other than the heat-resistant glass plate located nearest to the member to be heated, the surface being located on the member to be heated side, among the plurality of heat-resistant glass plates.
- the holding member that allows the infrared rays to be transmitted therethrough is disposed between the infrared source and the member to be heated, and the shielding member is held by the holding member.
- the shielding member can be disposed apart from the member to be heated in a non-contact state.
- heating of the shielding member due to the heating of the member to be heated is restricted, and thus early deterioration of the shielding member is prevented.
- the flexibility in setting the shapes of the heated regions is increased, for example, the low-temperature heated regions can be set in the shape of an island by using the shielding member in which only the middle of the member to be heated is shielded.
- the holding member is formed of a plurality of heat-resistant glass plates placed on each other, and the shielding member is formed of a metal sheet, metal foil or a metal film, which is held between the plurality of heat-resistant glass plates.
- the shielding member is sharp or has elongate shapes, there is no possibility that the shielding member will be deformed under the influence of heat or atmosphere, and the shielding member can be thinned within a range in which transmission of the infrared rays can be restricted. Thus, the usage of the shielding member can be reduced, leading to cost reduction.
- the shielding member is formed of the metal film that is vapor-deposited on a surface of the heat-resistant glass plate other than the heat-resistant glass plate located nearest to the member to be heated, the surface being located on the member to be heated side, or on a surface of any one of the heat-resistant glass plates other than the heat-resistant glass plate located nearest to the member to be heated, the surface being located on the member to be heated side, among the plurality of heat-resistant glass plates.
- the shielding member can be still used as it is. Thus, it is possible to minimize the influence. Since the metal film that is directly formed on the heat-resistant glass plate through vapor deposition is used as the shielding member, small shielding portions or multiple shielding portions spaced apart from each other can be set more easily with a higher degree of accuracy and thus the flexibility in setting the shapes of the heated regions becomes higher, as compared with the case where an independently formed shielding member such as a metal sheet or metal foil is attached to or held between the heat-resistant glass plates.

Abstract
Infrared heating apparatus irradiates a member to be heated with infrared rays from infrared source to heat the member, and sets heated region of the member to be heated with use of shielding member that restricts transmission of infrared rays. The infrared heating apparatus includes: a pair of holding members each having a plate shape that allow the infrared rays to be transmitted therethrough being disposed to intersect with an irradiation direction of the infrared rays between the infrared source and the member to be heated, and the shielding member being interposed and held between the holding members, and being a metal sheet, metal foil or a metal film, which has a prescribed shape that restricts transmission of the infrared rays, and the holding members being placed on each other to be in close contact with each other while the shielding member is interposed between the holding members.
Description
- The invention relates generally to an infrared heating apparatus, and more specifically to an improvement of an infrared heating apparatus that sets a heated region using a shielding member that restricts transmission of infrared rays.
- There has been known an infrared heating apparatus that irradiates a member to be heated (hereinafter, referred to as “to-be-heated member”) with infrared rays from an infrared source to heat the to-be-heated member, and sets a heated region of the to-be-heated member with the use of a shielding member that restricts transmission of the infrared rays. An apparatus described in Patent Document 1 is an example of the above-described infrared heating apparatus, and used for, for example, partial heating of a steel sheet during hot press molding in which quenching is carried out at the same time as press molding. That is, a portion irradiated with infrared rays is heated up to a temperature equal to or higher than, for example, the Ac3 point temperature and is quenched and hardened by a press, whereas a shielded portion is kept at a low temperature lower than the Ac3 point temperature without being quenched and hardened, so as to be maintained under a low strength. Thus, a process of bending, drawing, punching or the like can be appropriately carried out in, for example, a low-strength region even after the hot press molding. Further, in the case of a vehicle structure, by appropriately setting a high-strength region and a low-strength region, it is possible to ensure a prescribed impact energy absorption performance and to adjust a deformation mode (e.g. deformation direction) at the time of a vehicle collision.

- However, if a shielding member is directly disposed on a to-be-heated member and the to-be-heated member is irradiated with infrared rays, the shielding member is also heated due to direct heat transfer from the to-be-heated member, and thus the shielding member deteriorates early and needs to be replaced in a short period. If the shielding member is disposed apart from the to-be-heated member in a non-contact state, early deterioration caused by heating due to heat transfer is prevented. However, due to the presence of a holder that holds the shielding member, the flexibility in setting the shape of a heated region is lowered, for example, forming only a central portion of the to-be-heated member as a low-temperature region in the form of an island is not possible. In the case where the shielding member is supported in a cantilever manner, a prescribed stiffness needs to be ensured to prevent flexural deformation and thus the plate thickness of the shielding member increases, leading to a cost increase.
- The invention is made in light of the above-described circumstances, and an object of the invention is to provide an infrared heating apparatus having a high degree of flexibility in setting the shape of a heated region, for example, such a flexibility that a low-temperature region can be set in the form of an island, and causing no need to ensure a stiffness of a shielding member, when the shielding member is disposed apart from a to-be-heated member in a non-contact state in order to prevent heating of the shielding member.
- To achieve the object, the first aspect of the invention provides an infrared heating apparatus that irradiates a member to be heated with infrared rays from an infrared source to heat the member to be heated, and sets a heated region of the member to be heated with use of a shielding member that restricts transmission of the infrared rays, characterized in that a holding member that allows the infrared rays to be transmitted there through is disposed between the infrared source and the member to be heated, and the shielding member is held by the holding member.
- The second aspect of the invention provides the infrared heating apparatus recited in the first aspect of the invention, characterized in that (a) the holding member includes a plurality of heat-resistant glass plates placed on each other in such a posture as to intersect with an irradiation direction of the infrared rays; and (b) the shielding member is a metal sheet, metal foil or a metal film, which is held between the plurality of heat-resistant glass plates.
- The third aspect of the invention provides the infrared heating apparatus recited in the second aspect of the invention, characterized in that the shielding member is the metal film that is vapor-deposited on a surface of the heat-resistant glass plate other than the heat-resistant glass plate located nearest to the member to be heated, the surface being located on the member to be heated side, or on a surface of any one of the heat-resistant glass plates other than the heat-resistant glass plate located nearest to the member to be heated, the surface being located on the member to be heated side, among the plurality of heat-resistant glass plates.
- In the infrared heating apparatus, the holding member that allows the infrared rays to be transmitted therethrough is disposed between the infrared source and the member to be heated, and the shielding member is held by the holding member. Thus, the shielding member can be disposed apart from the member to be heated in a non-contact state. As a result, heating of the shielding member due to the heating of the member to be heated is restricted, and thus early deterioration of the shielding member is prevented. Further, the flexibility in setting the shapes of the heated regions is increased, for example, the low-temperature heated regions can be set in the shape of an island by using the shielding member in which only the middle of the member to be heated is shielded. In addition, it is not necessary to support the shielding member in a cantilever manner. Thus, it is not necessary to increase the plate thickness of the shielding member to ensure the stiffness. This allows the shielding member to be formed at low cost.
- In the second aspect of the invention, the holding member is formed of a plurality of heat-resistant glass plates placed on each other, and the shielding member is formed of a metal sheet, metal foil or a metal film, which is held between the plurality of heat-resistant glass plates. Thus, there is not a possibility that the shielding member will become dirty or be deformed under the influence of heat, vapor or the like. Therefore, it is possible to enhance the durability of the shielding member and to facilitate maintenance since just washing the heat-resistant glass plates as necessary is required. Further, even if the shielding member is sharp or has elongate shapes, there is no possibility that the shielding member will be deformed under the influence of heat or atmosphere, and the shielding member can be thinned within a range in which transmission of the infrared rays can be restricted. Thus, the usage of the shielding member can be reduced, leading to cost reduction.
- In the third aspect of the invention, the shielding member is formed of the metal film that is vapor-deposited on a surface of the heat-resistant glass plate other than the heat-resistant glass plate located nearest to the member to be heated, the surface being located on the member to be heated side, or on a surface of any one of the heat-resistant glass plates other than the heat-resistant glass plate located nearest to the member to be heated, the surface being located on the member to be heated side, among the plurality of heat-resistant glass plates. Therefore, even if the heat-resistant glass plate on the member to be heated is scratched due to contact with the member to be heated caused during installation or removal of the member to be heated on or from the heating apparatus, it is necessary to replace only the heat-resistant glass plate, and the shielding member can be still used as it is. Thus, it is possible to minimize the influence. Since the metal film that is directly formed on the heat-resistant glass plate through vapor deposition is used as the shielding member, small shielding portions or multiple shielding portions spaced apart from each other can be set more easily with a higher degree of accuracy and thus the flexibility in setting the shapes of the heated regions becomes higher, as compared with the case where an independently formed shielding member such as a metal sheet or metal foil is attached to or held between the heat-resistant glass plates.

FIG. 6 describes the shielding member of the infrared apparatus illustrated inFIG. 1 and the shielding member is vapor-deposited metal film on the surface of either of the pair of the silica glass plates. - The infrared heating apparatus according to the invention is used for, for example, partial heating of a steel sheet during hot press molding in which quench hardening is carried out at the same time as press molding. That is, a portion irradiated with infrared rays is heated up to a temperature equal to or higher than, for example, the Ac3 point temperature and is quenched and hardened by a press mold process, whereas a shielded portion is kept at a low temperature lower than the Ac3 point temperature without being quenched and hardened, so as to be maintained under a low strength. Thus, a process of bending, drawing, punching or the like, or spot welding can be appropriately carried out in, for example, a low-strength region even after the hot press molding. Further, in the case of a vehicle structure, by appropriately setting a high-strength region and a low-strength region, it is possible to ensure a prescribed impact energy absorption performance and to adjust a deformation mode (e.g. deformation direction) at the time of a vehicle collision. A steel sheet for hot press molding is preferably used as the member to be heated, and is subjected to hot press molding after partial heating performed by the infrared heating apparatus according to the invention. Thus, a high-strength region (high-temperature heated region) that is quenched and hardened, and a low-strength region (low-temperature heated region) are formed in a prescribed pattern.
- The infrared source is a device that irradiates infrared rays, and an infrared lamp heater is preferably used as the infrared source. As the infrared rays, near infrared rays having short wavelengths are preferable since heating is performed more efficiently. The shielding member just needs to be a member that reflects or absorbs the infrared rays to reduce the transmission amount, but a member having a high reflectance is desirable with a view to restricting deterioration due to heating of itself. For example, a gold thin sheet, gold foil or a gold vapor-deposited film, which is difficult to oxidize and which has a high reflectance of the near infrared rays, is preferably used. However, there may be used a metal such as sliver or aluminum having a higher ability to reflect the infrared rays than that of the member to be heated, or a member obtained by applying, for example, gold coating to an inorganic material that is excellent in heat resistance.
- Heat-resistant glass such as silica glass or borosilicate glass is preferably used as the holding member that allows the infrared rays to be transmitted therethrough. The holding member need not allow 100% of the infrared rays to be transmitted therethrough as long as the holding member has a high infrared transmission factor (for example, a near infrared transmission factor of equal to or higher than 80% is preferable). It is preferable that the multiple heat-resistant glass plates be placed on each other and the shielding member be held between the glass plates, as in the second invention. However, the shielding member may be attached to or vapor-deposited on one surface of a single heat-resistant glass plate, for example, on a surface on the opposite side from the member to be heated. There may be adopted methods of allowing the holding member to hold the shielding member, other than interposition, attachment and vapor-deposition. For example, a liquid metal is poured into a recessed portion having a prescribed shape and formed in the shielding member, is solidified under cooling so as to be integrated with the holding member, and then used as the shielding member.
- Hereinafter, embodiments of the invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a front view illustrating the schematic configuration of aninfrared heating apparatus 10 according to an embodiment of the invention. Theinfrared heating apparatus 10 includes, as infrared sources, a plurality of nearinfrared lamp heaters 12 that are disposed substantially horizontally. Immediately below the nearinfrared lamp heaters 12, amember 14 to be heated (hereinafter, referred to as “to-be-heated member 14”) is introduced by a loader unit (e.g. a conveyer) (not illustrated). The to-be-heated member 14 is a flat steel sheet for hot press, and is supported in a substantially horizontal posture and heated by being irradiated with near infrared rays (arrows L) emitted directly downward from the nearinfrared lamp heaters 12. - A holding
member 16 is disposed at an intermediate position between the nearinfrared lamp heaters 12 and the to-be-heated member 14, and holds a shieldingmember 18 that has a prescribed shape and that restricts transmission of the near infrared rays L. The holdingmember 16 includes a pair of a flat uppersilica glass plate 20 and a flat lowersilica glass plate 22 that allow the near infrared rays L to be transmitted therethrough. The upper and lowersilica glass plates infrared lamp heaters 12, and are supported, at their peripheral edge portions located outside an irradiation range of the near infrared rays L, by a plurality of stays (supports) 24, at positions apart upward from the to-be-heated member 14. Thesilica glass plates - The shielding
member 18 is formed of gold foil (having a thickness of approximately 1 μm) that is difficult to oxidize and that has a high reflectance of the near infrared rays L, and is interposed and held between the pair of the uppersilica glass plate 20 and the lowersilica glass plate 22, as illustrated inFIG. 5 . Although there is a clearance between thesilica glass plates member 18 inFIG. 1 , the pair of the uppersilica glass plate 20 and the lowersilica glass plate 22 are actually placed on each other so as to be in close contact with each other because the shieldingmember 18 has a thickness of approximately 1 μm, which is considerably thin. At a portion where the shieldingmember 18 described above is disposed, transmission of the near infrared rays L is interrupted. Thus, shades against the near infrared rays L are created on the to-be-heated member 14 and heating is restricted. As a result, high-temperature heated regions Hi that are irradiated with the near infrared rays L and low-temperature heated regions Lo corresponding to shade portions are formed in a prescribed pattern corresponding to the shape of the shieldingmember 18. -
FIG. 2 is a perspective view concretely illustrating an example of the shieldingmember 18 formed of three shieldingmembers 18 a to 18 c including the shieldingmembers FIG. 3 illustrates an example of the high-temperature heated regions Hi and the low-temperature heated regions Lo that are formed on the to-be-heated member 14 by the shieldingmember 18 illustrated inFIG. 2 . The high-temperature heated regions Hi are heated up to a temperature equal to or higher than the Ac3 point temperature, whereas the low-temperature heated regions La are kept at a low temperature lower than the Ac3 point temperature. The to-be-heated member 14 partially heated by theinfrared heating apparatus 10 in the above-described manner is then subjected to hot press molding. Thus, the high-temperature heated regions Hi are quenched and hardened to have a high strength, whereas the low-temperature heated regions Lo are not quenched and hardened so as to be maintained under a low strength. The portions having a low strength can be processed by cutting, punching or the like more easily than the portions having a high strength. For the portions having a low strength, the conditions for spot-welding are eased.FIG. 4 illustrates an example of a press-moldedarticle 30 that is formed in a manner in which the to-be-heated member 14 is partially heated by theinfrared heating apparatus 10 and subjected to hot press molding, and then punching 32 and trimming 34 are carried out on the low-temperature heated regions (low-strength portions) Lo. - As described above, in the
infrared heating apparatus 10 in the present embodiment, the holdingmember 16 that allows the near infrared rays L to be transmitted therethrough is disposed between the nearinfrared lamp heaters 12 and the to-be-heated member 14 and the shieldingmember 18 is held by the holdingmember 16. Thus, the shieldingmember 18 can be disposed apart from the to-be-heated member 14 in a non-contact state. As a result, heating of the shieldingmember 18 due to the heating of the to-be-heated member 14 is restricted, and thus early deterioration of the shieldingmember 18 is prevented. - Further, the flexibility in setting the shapes of the high-temperature heated regions Hi and the low-temperature heated regions Lo is increased, for example, the low-temperature heated regions Lo can each be formed in the shape of an island by using the shielding
member member 18 in a cantilever manner. Thus, it is not necessary to increase the plate thickness of the shieldingmember 18 to ensure the stiffness. This allows the shieldingmember 18 to be formed at low cost. - Further, in the present embodiment, the holding
member 16 is formed of the pair of the uppersilica glass plate 20 and the lowersilica glass plate 22 that are placed on each other, and the shieldingmember 18 is formed of gold foil interposed and held between the pair of thesilica glass plates member 18 will become dirty or be deformed under the influence of heat, vapor or the like. Therefore, it is possible to enhance the durability of the shieldingmember 18, and to facilitate maintenance since just washing the surfaces of thesilica glass plates member 18 becomes dirty or dust adheres to the shieldingmember 18, the dirt absorbs the near infrared rays L and thus heated. This causes a possibility of early deterioration of the shieldingmember 18. - Further, if the holding
member 16 becomes dirty, the efficiency of heating the to-be-heated member 14 may be lowered. However, the shieldingmember 18 is interposed and held between the pair of thesilica glass plates member 18 will become dirty. Further, the dirt that adheres to thesilica glass plates - Further, even if the
members 18 a to 18 c of the shieldingmember 18 are sharp or have elongate shapes, there is no possibility that themembers 18 a to 18 c will be deformed under the influence of heat or atmosphere, and themembers 18 a to 18 c can be thinned within a range in which transmission of the near infrared rays L can be restricted. Thus, the usage of the shieldingmember 18, that is, the usage of gold foil can be reduced, leading to cost reduction. - Further, the shielding
member 18 is interposed and held between the pair of thesilica glass plates silica glass plate 22 on the to-be-heated member side, that is, on the lower side is scratched due to contact with, for example, the to-be-heated member 14 caused during installation or removal of the to-be-heated member 14 on or from theinfrared heating apparatus 10, it is necessary to replace only the lowersilica glass plate 22, and the shieldingmember 18 can be still used as it is. Thus, it is possible to minimize the influence. - Note that, if the shielding
member 18 is disposed so as to be in contact with the to-be-heated member 14, the contact faces are not exposed to the atmosphere (air containing oxygen) and thus the surface of the to-be-heated member 14 is not oxidized during heating. However, during removal of the shieldingmember 18 after the completion of the heating, there is a possibility that the to-be-heated member 14 heated up to a high temperature will cause intense oxidation reaction (combustion) due to exposure to the atmosphere and a plated layer made of zinc, aluminum or the like, and applied to the to-be-heated member 14 will evaporate. However, in the present embodiment, since the shieldingmember 18 is held by the holdingmember 16 and is disposed apart upward from the to-be-heated member 14 in a non-contact state, there is no possibility that the plated layer on the to-be-heated member 14 will evaporate due to abrupt oxidation reaction as described above. - Meanwhile, in the embodiment described above, gold foil is used as the shielding
member 18 and is interposed and held between the pair of thesilica glass plates FIG. 6 , gold may be vapor-deposited onto the lower face of the uppersilica glass plate 20 located on the side opposite from the to-be-heated member 14, that is, onto the face on the to-be-heated member 14 side, and a vapor-deposited film may be used as the shieldingmember 18.FIG. 5 andFIG. 6 illustrate the pair of thesilica glass plates silica glass plates - In the case where the gold vapor-deposited film that is directly formed on the upper
silica glass plate 20 through vapor deposition is used as the shieldingmember 18 as illustrated inFIG. 6 , small shielding portions or multiple shielding portions spaced apart from each other can be set more easily with a higher degree of accuracy and thus the flexibility in setting the shapes of the high-temperature heated regions Hi and the low-temperature heated regions Lo becomes higher, as compared with the case where independently formed gold foil is used as the shieldingmember 18 and is held between the pair of thesilica glass plates - 100281 While the embodiments of the invention have been described above in detail with reference to the drawings, each of the embodiments is merely one mode for carrying out the invention, and the invention may be implemented in various other modes obtained by making various modifications and improvements to the embodiments on the basis of knowledge of a person skilled in the art.
