Abstract
Description
本発明は、請求項1に発明の上位概念として特定したように、第1構成部材と第2の構成部材との溶融域を溶融するためのエネルギーとしてレーザビームを使用し、しかもレーザビームのエネルギーを弱くしか吸収しない材料から成る第1構成部材を使用し、かつレーザビームのエネルギーを強く吸収する材料から成る前記第2構成部材を使用し、レーザビームが前記第1構成部材を貫通して前記第2構成部材に向かうようにし、かつ前記溶融域の外部には、前記の両構成部材の相互方向運動を制限する少なくとも1つのストッパを設けておく形式の、第1構成部材と第2構成部材との溶接法に関する。 According to the present invention, a laser beam is used as energy for melting a melting zone between a first component and a second component, and the energy of the laser beam is specified. Using a first component made of a material that absorbs only weakly, and using the second component made of a material that strongly absorbs the energy of the laser beam, wherein the laser beam passes through the first component and A first component and a second component which are directed towards the second component and which are provided outside the melting zone with at least one stopper which limits the mutual movement of the two components; And welding method.
前記形式の溶接法はすでに公知になっている(たとえば、特許文献1参照。)。当該公知の溶接法では、第1の蓋形構成部材をその円周に沿って圧縮して、ボトム部分を形成する第2構成部材の内壁と接触させることによって、2つの構成部材が相互に接合される。第2構成部材の内壁に沿って1つのストッパが設けられているので、第1構成部材は、ストッパまでしか第2構成部材の内部に挿入することができない。両構成部材間の移行域に、次いでレーザビーム溶接装置または電子ビーム溶接装置によってエネルギーが入射されるので、前記移行域において両構成部材の結合が生じる。その場合肝要なことは、第1構成部材を第2構成部材のストッパにまで押し付ける押し合わせによって両構成部材相互がもはや相対運動しないことである。 A welding method of the above type is already known (for example, see Patent Document 1). In the known welding method, the first lid-shaped component is compressed along its circumference and brought into contact with the inner wall of the second component forming the bottom part, whereby the two components are joined to one another. Is done. Since one stopper is provided along the inner wall of the second component, the first component can be inserted into the second component only up to the stopper. The energy is then incident on the transition between the two components by means of a laser beam welding device or an electron beam welding device, so that a coupling of the two components takes place in the transition region. What is essential here is that the two components no longer move relative to each other due to the pressing of the first component against the stopper of the second component.
たとえばプリント配線基板上に配置された電子構成素子を収蔵するケーシングを製作する場合、概して単数または複数のプリント配線基板をケーシング内部に位置決めもしくは支承することが必要である。自動車の制御器用ケーシングを製作する場合に、一方のケーシング構成部材内に配置された圧入ピンと協働する開口をプリント配線基板内に設けることは公知である。この圧入ピンと開口との協働に基づいてプリント配線基板はケーシング構成部材に対して相対的に位置固定される。しかしながら実地において自動車運転中の極端な状況下で発生することのある特に高い振動負荷時には(結合が、比較的少数本の圧入ピンを介してしか行われていない場合には特に)圧入ピンによるプリント配線基板の従来の固定法では不充分であることが判明した。
そこで本発明の課題は、請求項1の上位概念によって特定した溶接法を改良して、両構成部材の溶接と同時に、両構成部材に対して確実に第3構成部材、たとえばプリント配線基板を、付加的な構成部材を必要とすることなしに、位置固定することである。 Therefore, an object of the present invention is to improve the welding method specified by the generic concept of claim 1, and to simultaneously weld the two components and securely connect the third component, for example, a printed wiring board, to the two components. Position locking without the need for additional components.
前記溶接法における課題を解決する本発明の構成手段は、請求項1の特徴部に記載したように、第1および第2両構成部材を溶接操作以降は相互に圧着し、少なくとも1つのストッパ によって、溶接操作の間、両構成部材の相互方向運動を制限し、少なくとも1つのストッパを第3構成部材と協働するようにし、第3構成部材を、溶接操作後は少なくとも1つの前記ストッパによって、前記の第1および第2構成部材の少なくとも1つに圧着させる点にある。 Means for solving the problem in the welding method according to the present invention is that, as described in the characterizing part of claim 1, both the first and second components are crimped to each other after the welding operation, and at least one stopper is used. Restricting the mutual movement of the two components during the welding operation, so that at least one stop cooperates with the third component, and the third component is connected by the at least one said stop after the welding operation, The present invention is characterized in that it is pressed against at least one of the first and second components.
本発明による溶接法の有利な実施形態は、従属請求項に列挙した通りである。 Advantageous embodiments of the welding method according to the invention are as recited in the dependent claims.
次に図面に基づいて本発明の実施例を詳説する。 Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
図1には、レーザ溶接によって溶接しようとする第1構成部材10と第2構成部材11が図示されている。図1には更にまた、前記の両構成部材10,11を接合した後に両構成部材10,11間に位置固定しようとする第3構成部材12も図示されている。図面で下位に位置する第1構成部材10は接合域13を有しており、該接合域において両構成部材10,11はレーザビームによって互いに接合される。接合域13は、該接合域の配置されたウェブ状凸設部14よりも幾分小さな幅を有している。接合域13は有利には、両構成部材10,11間で、図平面に対して垂直に図示された、両構成部材10,11の全長にわたって延びているので、接合域13において両構成部材10,11の線状接触が生じる。しかし、この実施形態とは択一的に、前記接合域13を第1構成部材10に点状に設けて、該接合域13を、隆起部の形式でウェブ状凸設部14から突出させることも可能である。
FIG. 1 shows a
更にまた第1構成部材10は、第3構成部材12を受容するためにステップ状の段部16を有している。第2構成部材11は実質的にL形横断面形に形成されており、かつ第3構成部材12に面した方の側に、第2構成部材11に一体成形された少なくとも1つのストッパ17を有している。この少なくとも1つのストッパ17は、L形断面形状の第2構成部材11の鉛直脚片18の延長線上に一体成形されているのに対して、第2構成部材11の他方の水平脚片19は接合域13において、第1構成部材10に面した方の側で、第1構成部材10上に面整合して載っている。
Furthermore, the
両構成部材10,11に対するレーザビームの未作用状態を示した図1に相応して、少なくとも1つのストッパ17と第3構成部材12の対面側との間にはギャップ21が形成されている。
A
第1構成部材10も第2構成部材11も共にプラスチックから成っているが、但し、第1構成部材10はたとえば相応の添加剤によってレーザビーム吸収性であるのに対して、第2構成部材11は、レーザビームに対して実質的に透過性である。
Both the
図2では、溶接時の状態が図示されている。その場合レーザビーム22は、第1構成部材10に対向した方の側から、第2構成部材11の水平脚片19に作用する。両構成部材10,11の吸収特性が異なることに基づいて、その場合、両構成部材10,11間の接合域13は、プラスチック材料の融点を超えるまで加熱されるので、両構成部材10,11は互いに接合する。レーザビーム22の作用中に両構成部材10,11は、負荷力を示す矢印Fによって判るように、相互に圧着される。レーザビーム22が接合域13のプラスチック材料を、該プラスチック材料が塑性変形する程度に加熱すると即座に、両構成部材10,11の押し合わせに伴って、第2構成部材11は少なくとも1つのストッパ17と共に、第1構成部材10並びに第3構成部材12の方向に動かされる。少なくとも1つのストッパ17が第3構成部材12に当接すると、両構成部材10,11相互の相対運動はもはや行われない。それというのは、レーザビーム22によって捉えられない少なくとも1つのストッパ17が、第3構成部材12を、第1構成部材10の段部16に圧着するからである。従って少なくとも1つのストッパ17は、レーザ溶接時における両構成部材10,11相互の相対運動を制限する行程制限手段もしくは行程ストッパとして働くと共に、付加的には第3構成部材12を両構成部材10,11間に位置決めするためにも働く。レーザビーム22による溶接プロセス時に接合域13は塑性変形され、かつ溶融物23が両構成部材10,11から側方に押出される。接合域13がウェブ状凸設部14よりも幾分小さな幅を有していることによって、前記溶融物23が両構成部材10,11を超えて張出すことはない。
FIG. 2 shows a state at the time of welding. In that case, the
図3には、本発明の方法を適用した1実施例が示されており、本実施例では、自動車においてたとえば制御器として使用されるプラスチックから成るボックス形のケーシング25が製作される。該ケーシング25は、レーザビームにとって吸収性のボトム部分27並びにレーザビームにとって透過性の蓋28を有している。レーザビーム(矢印29)はレーザ加工時に、円環状のフラットな接合域30の領域において、ボトム部分27に対向する方の蓋28の側で接合域30に作用する。該蓋28は、下向きに引き下げられた縁部31を有し、該縁部は、ボトム部分27を蓋28と接合した後には、ボトム部分27の外面に沿った円環状隆起部32と相俟って、同じく円環状の室33を形成し、該円環状室は、接合域30から場合によって流出する溶融物を受容する。
FIG. 3 shows an embodiment to which the method according to the invention is applied, in which a box-
ケーシング25の内部にはプリント配線基板35が配置されており、該プリント配線基板はたとえばその上面に電子構成素子36を支持している。プリント配線基板35は、蓋28を装着する以前に、ボトム部分27の内部に位置決めされる。この位置決めのためにプリント配線基板35は、いわゆる圧入ピン38と協働する複数の穴37を有している。圧入ピン38は、たとえばボトム部分27の底域に一体的に成形されており、かつ圧入ピンの円筒形区分39が、プリント配線基板35の穴37を貫通して突出している。その場合、穴37の直径および圧入ピン38の円筒形区分39の直径を適当な許容誤差範囲内に設定することによって、プリント配線基板35を圧入ピン38によって保持することが可能になる。更にまた、プリント配線基板35を圧入ピン38に組付ける際に該プリント配線基板35の運動を制限するため、もしくは該プリント配線基板35を所期の目標位置に位置決めするために、ボトム部分27の内縁域にはスペーサブロック41が配置されている。蓋28をボトム部分27と結合する以前に、前記スペーサブロック41上にプリント配線基板35が載置される。従ってスペーサブロック41はボトム部分27と相俟って、図1および図2における段部16に相当するそれぞれ1つの段部42を形成している。
A printed
ボトム部分27に面した方の蓋28の内面側には、スペーサブロック41に覆合して複数のストッパエレメント43が配置されている。該ストッパエレメント43は蓋28に一体的に成形されているのが有利である。ストッパエレメント43が一体成形された領域では、プリント配線基板35上に電子構成素子36が位置していないのは勿論のことである。ボトム部分27上に蓋28を(矢印29の方向に)溶接する溶接プロセス時に、スペーサブロック41とは反対のプリント配線基板35の側にストッパエレメント43が載ると即座に、ストッパエレメント43は、ボトム部分27に対する蓋28の相対運動を制限する。更にまた、蓋28とボトム部分27との接合が終了すると、それに伴ってケーシング25内におけるプリント配線基板35の正確な位置決めが得られる。それというのは今やプリント配線基板35は、高い揺振負荷を受けた場合でさえも、圧入ピン38に対してもはや相対運動できないからである。
A plurality of
図4に示した実施例が、図3の実施例と相違している点は、プリント配線基板35aの上面縁部域45にも同じく電子構成素子36aが配置されていることである。ボトム部分27aを蓋28aと溶接する際にストッパエレメント43aを上面縁部域45の電子構成素子36aと接触させないために、電子構成素子の設けられていないプリント配線基板35aの中央域にストッパエレメント43aが配置されている。
The embodiment shown in FIG. 4 is different from the embodiment shown in FIG. 3 in that an
ここで説明を補足しておくが、縁部域に電子構成素子を支持しないプリント配線基板の場合にもストッパエレメント43aの配置構成を使用できるのは自明の通りである。ストッパエレメント43aとは反対のプリント配線基板側に別のストッパエレメントもしくは別のスペーサブロックが配置されていない、図4に相当するストッパエレメント43aの配置形式は、レイアウトの理由から、或いはプリント配線基板に或る程度の曲げ応力を及ぼすことが所望されているという理由から、選択することもできる。
As a supplementary explanation here, it is obvious that the arrangement of the
なお念のために付記しておくが、以上述べた本発明の溶接法は、自動車の制御器における使用のみに限定されるものではない。むしろ本発明の方法によって、複数の構成部材を互いに接合することも可能であり、その場合、第3構成部材(図示の実施例ではたとえばプリント配線基板)は他の2つの構成部材間に位置決めされている。更に図3および図4において、プリント配線基板35,35aを、適当な圧入ピン38無しに使用することももちろん可能である。図3および図4に相当する制御器の場合、該制御器を蓋28,28aで閉鎖する前に、圧入ピン38は、制御器の事前組立もしくは操作および検査のために使用される。
It should be noted that the welding method of the present invention described above is not limited to use in a controller of an automobile. Rather, it is also possible by means of the method according to the invention to join a plurality of components together, in which case a third component (for example, a printed circuit board in the embodiment shown) is positioned between the other two components. ing. 3 and 4, it is of course possible to use the printed
