Description

Verfahren zum Verbinden von Gebilden aus thermoplastischen Kunststoffen unter Wärmeeinfluß Zum Verbinden von Gebilden aus thermoplastischen Kunststoffens insbesondere von Folien, dient neben dem Kleben vornehmlich das Schweißen bzw. das Heißsiegeln. Die zum Schweißen bzw. Heißsiegeln erforderliche Warme wird bei den bekannten Verfahren durch heiße Metallflächen, heiße Gase oder durch ein hochfrequentes elektrisches Wechselfeld zugeführt.Process for joining structures made of thermoplastics Under the influence of heat For joining structures made of thermoplastic plastics In particular of foils, in addition to gluing, welding or the Heat sealing. The heat required for welding or heat sealing is used in the known methods by hot metal surfaces, hot gases or by a high frequency electric alternating field supplied.

Es ist hierbei nachteiligy daß stets größere Materialmengen erwärmt werden, als es zur lierstellung der Verbindung erforderlich wäre. Diese unerwünschte Erwärmung ist bei den bekannten Verfahren nicht vermeidbar. da die Erwärmung der Schweißstelle relativ langsam erfolgt, wobei durch Warmeleitung das der Verbindungsstelle benachbarte Material ebenfalls erwärmt wird. Bei der Erwärmung durch heiße Gase oder heiße Metallflächen muß vielfach die Wärme durch mindestens einen der zu verbindenden Teile hindurch an die Verbindungsstelle gebracht werden. Beim dielektrischen Erwärmen wird das gesamte Material erwärmt, das sich im elektrischen Wechselfeld befindet. Dadurch wird stets zwangsweise Material mit erwärmt, das an der Verbindung nicht unmittelbar beteiligt ist. Da das auf Schweißtemperatur erwärmte Material vielfach schlechtere technologische Eigenschaften hat als das ausgangsmaterial, ist es wünschenswert, die erwärmte Materialmenge auf das unbedingt erforderliche Mindestmaß zu beschränken.It is disadvantageous here that larger amounts of material are always heated than would be required to establish the connection. This undesirable With the known methods, heating cannot be avoided. since the warming of the Welding point takes place relatively slowly, with that of the connection point by heat conduction neighboring Material is also heated. When heated by hot gases or hot metal surfaces Often the heat must pass through at least one of the parts to be connected be brought to the junction. With dielectric heating, that becomes heats all of the material that is in the alternating electric field. Through this the material that is not directly at the connection is always heated is involved. Since the material heated to welding temperature is much worse Has technological properties as the starting material, it is desirable to to limit the amount of heated material to the absolutely necessary minimum.

Es wurde nun ein Verfahren zum Verbinden von Gebilden aus thermoplastischen Kunststoffen, insbesondere von Kunststoff-Folien, unter Wärmeeinfluß gefunden, bei dem die Wärmeeinwirkung praktisch ausschließlich auf die Materialmenge beschränkt wird, die zum Herstellen der Verbindung unbedingt erwärmt werden muß. Gemäß der Erfindung wird die erforderliche Wärmeenergie in Form einer elektromagnetischen Wellenstrahlung aufgebracht, deren Wellenlänge außerhalb des Bereichs der gigenabsorption des Materials liegt, durch das die wellenstrahlung die Verbindungsstelle erreichen soll wobel die Energie der elektromagnetischen Wellenstrahlung an der Verbindungsstelle durch einen Absorber in Wärme umgewandelt wird.There has now been a method for joining structures made of thermoplastic Plastics, especially plastic films, found under the influence of heat which the effect of heat is practically limited to the amount of material that must be heated to establish the connection. According to the Invention will provide the required thermal energy in the form of an electromagnetic Wave radiation applied whose wavelength is outside the range of gigenabsorption of the material through which the wave radiation reaches the joint shall wobel the energy of the electromagnetic wave radiation at the junction is converted into heat by an absorber.

Je nach den Eigenschaften des zu verbindenden Materials kann die verwendete elektromagnetische Wellenstrahlung im Wellenlängenbe reich zwischen 0,18 µm und 1 mm, vorzugsweise jedoch zwischen 0, 3 und 13 µm liegen. Es ist dabei zweckmäßig, die Intensität der benutzten Strahlung so hoch zu wählen, daß die Wärmezufuhr sehr rasch erfolgt so daß nur die nächste Umgebung des Absorber durch Wärmeleitung mit erwärmt wird. Dies läßt sich durch räumliche und/ oder zeitliche Konzentration der Strahlung, beiapielaweiae durch Fokussierung oder Blitzbetrieb erreichen. Als besonders geeignet haben sich Strahlungsquellen erwiesen, die nach dem Prinzip der atimulierten Emission arbeiten, und die als Laser oder Mater bekanat sind. Es können jedoch auch Funken oder andere strahlungsquellen verwendet werden, vorausgesetzt, daß ihre Intensitit hinreichend hoch ist.Depending on the properties of the material to be connected, the used electromagnetic wave radiation in the wavelength range between 0.18 µm and 1 mm, but preferably between 0.3 and 13 µm. It is useful to to choose the intensity of the radiation used so high that the heat supply very quickly takes place so that only the immediate vicinity of the absorber is heated by conduction will. This can be done by spatial and / or temporal concentration of the radiation, beiapielaweiae can be achieved by focusing or flash operation. As particularly suitable It has been found that radiation sources operate on the principle of atimulated emission work, and which are known as lasers or mater. However, sparks can also be used or other sources of radiation are used, provided that their intensity is sufficiently high.

Als Absorber zur Umwandlung der elektromagnetischen Wellenstrahlung in Wärme eignen aich alle Stoffe, die das auftreffende Licht in einem ausreichend kleinen Volumen absorbieren, und die mit dem zu verbindenden Material verträglich sind. So können als Absorber beispielsweise Farbstoffe oder Farbpigmente verwendet werden, insbesondere solche, deren sichtbare Farbe im Bereich der Komplementärfarbe zu der eingestrahlen Wcllenstrahlung liegt. Ale besonders geeignet hat sich jedoch Ruß erwiesen, da dieser in dem gesamten anwendbaren Wollenlängenbereich eine ausreichend hohe Eigenabsorption besitzt.As an absorber for converting electromagnetic wave radiation in warmth all substances are suitable that the incident light is sufficient in one absorb small volume, and compatible with the material to be connected are. For example, dyes or colored pigments can be used as absorbers especially those whose visible color is in the range of the complementary color to the irradiated wall radiation. Ale has proven particularly suitable, however Carbon black has been shown to be sufficient in the entire range of wool lengths that can be used has high self-absorption.

Erfolgt die Verbindung durch einen Heißkleber oder durch eine zwischengelegte Heißsiegelfolie, ao können der Kleber oder die Siegelfolie aelbat entsprechend eingefärbt werden.If the connection is made with a hot melt adhesive or an intermediate one Heat sealing film, ao the adhesive or the sealing film can be colored accordingly will.

Die Absorber erzeugte Wärme kann also entweder das unmittelbar benachbarte Material der zu verbindenden Teile erwärmen, ao daß ea unter Druck verschweißt werden kann. Sie kann andereraoita zur Erwärmung ein- Hilfsstoffs, beispielsweise eine Heißklebers dienen, der nach dem Erkalten den Zusammenhalt der zu verbindenden Teile bewirkt. Durch nachträgliches oder gleichzeitiges Anpressen kann die Verbindung verbessert werden.The heat generated by the absorber can either be directly adjacent Heat the material of the parts to be connected, ao that ea are welded under pressure can. It can also be used for heating an auxiliary material, for example a Serve hot glue, which after cooling the cohesion of the to connecting parts causes. By subsequent or simultaneous pressing can the connection will be improved.

Zur Erläuterung der Erfindung dienen die beiden folgenden Beispiele : Beispiel 1 : Zur Verschweißung zweier Folien ausgecktom Polyester wird die Strahlung eines Rubin-Lasers benutztZ die durch eine Sammellinse auf die zu verschweißende Stelle zwischen den Folien konzentriert wird. An dieser Stelle befindet sich auf einer der Folien eine Rußschicht, die durch einen Laser-Blitz erwärmt wird und die ihr benachbarten Teile der Folie aufheizt. Durch eine Klemmvorrichtung werden die Folien zusammengepreßt, so daß Verschweißung eintritt.The two following examples serve to illustrate the invention : Example 1: The radiation is used to weld two foils together of a ruby laser uses the through a converging lens on the to be welded Place between the slides is concentrated. At this point is on one of the foils has a layer of soot which is heated by a laser flash and which you heat neighboring parts of the film. The Foils pressed together so that welding occurs.

Beispiel 2 : Als Lichtquelle dient ein kontinuierlich arbeitender Gas-Laser (Ate+-Laser , Wellenlängen hauptsächlich 0,4880 und 0, 5l45/um).Example 2: The light source used is a continuously operating one Gas laser (Ate + laser, wavelengths mainly 0.4880 and 0.5l45 / µm).

Durch zwei Sammellinsen, deren Brennweiten sich etwa wie 1 : 30. verhalten und die so angeordnet sind daß die Brennpunkte zusammenfallen und die dem Laser nähere Linse die längere Brennweite besitzt, wird ein Lichtstrahl geringen Durchmessers und hoher Intensität erzeugt. Auf einer der zu verbindenden Folien ist mit einem roten Eisenoxid-Pigment ein Strich aufgedruckt. Die zu verbindenden Folien werden aufeinander gelegt und so durch den Lichtstrahl geführt, daß der rote Strich durch eine der Folien hindurch verlu : ttlos beleuchXt und durch seine spezifische Absorption erwärmt wird. Durch eine Andrückvorrichtung werden gleichzeitig die Folien zusammengepreßt und an der belichteten Stelle verschweißt.With two converging lenses, the focal lengths of which are roughly 1: 30th and which are arranged so that the focal points coincide and those of the laser The closer lens that has the longer focal length becomes a light beam of small diameter and high intensity. One of the foils to be connected has a red iron oxide pigment a line printed on it. The foils to be joined are placed on top of one another and guided through the light beam in such a way that the red line through one of the foils without any illumination and through his specific absorption is heated. By a pressing device are simultaneously the foils pressed together and welded at the exposed point.

Beispiel 3 : Zur Verschweißung von Folien aus gerecktem Polyäthylen wird auf die zu verschweißenden Stellen der Folien Ruß aufgebracht. Die Schweißstellen werden anschließend über eine fokussierende Spiegeloptik mit der Strahlung eines mit einem COZ-N2-Gemisch arbeitenden Gaslasers bestrahlt. Die Wellenlänge der Laser-Strahlung liegt bei etwa 10, 6Xu. Im Gegensatz zu Polyäthylen absorbiert Ruß Strahlung dieser Wellenlängen stark und erwärmt die benachbarten Folienbereiche. Durch eine Klemmvorrichtung werden die Folien zusammengepreßt und verschweißt.Example 3: For welding foils made of stretched polyethylene carbon black is applied to the areas of the foils to be welded. The welds are then a focusing mirror optics with the radiation irradiated with a COZ-N2 mixture working gas laser. The wavelength of the laser radiation is around 10.6Xu. In contrast to polyethylene, soot absorbs radiation from it Wavelengths strong and heats the neighboring areas of the film. By a clamping device the foils are pressed together and welded.
