Abstract
Description
この発明は、合成樹脂製の2つの部材を振動溶着または超音波溶着して構成された溶着構造及び溶着方法に関するものである。 The present invention relates to a welding structure and a welding method constituted by vibration welding or ultrasonic welding of two members made of synthetic resin.
従来、この種の技術には、例えば特許文献1に記載されたインテークマニホールドがある。図10に示すように、このインテークマニホールドの吸気管部80は、合成樹脂製の第1分割体81及び第2分割体82を振動溶着することで形成される。両分割体81,82の分割面(溶着面)81a,82aは、吸気管部の湾曲に対応した湾曲形状となっている。このため、振動溶着時に、第1分割体81を矢印Z方向に加圧して第2分割体82に押し付けたときに、第1分割体81に斜面に沿う分力に基づく滑りが生じ、第1分割体81が湾曲方向の逆方向(図10の上方)に拡がるように変形するとしている。この結果、両分割体81,82の分割面81a,82a間の接合強度が、位置によって不均一となり、吸気管部80全体の接合強度が低くなる。
Conventionally, this type of technique includes an intake manifold described in Patent Document 1, for example. As shown in FIG. 10, the
そこで、このインテークマニホールドにおいては、振動溶着時において両分割体81,82の分割面81a,82a同士のずれを防ぐ当接部83及び受け部84を、両分割体81,82の分割面81a,82aのそれぞれ外側に設けている。そして、当接部83と受け部84との当接により前記斜面に沿う滑りを抑制し、接合強度の向上を図っている。
ところが、上記特許文献1に記載のインテークマニホールドは、両分割体81,82の分割面81a,82aの外側に当接部83と受け部84を設ける構成であるので、各分割体81,82を成形するための型構造が複雑化する。しかも、当接部83及び受け部84の位置及び形状の精度をよほど正確にしないと、接合強度の向上において効果がなくなるばかりでなく逆効果になるおそれがある。例えば、当接部83と受け部84との間に隙間が生じていれば、前述した斜面の滑りを規制することができない。また、例えば、当接部83が所定の位置よりも上方に位置して、第1分割体81の分割面81aと第2分割体82の分割面82aとが当接する前に当接部83と受け部84とが当接してしまえば、前記両分割面81a,82a同士が当接せず、従って、第1分割体81と第2分割体82とを溶着することができないおそれがある。
However, the intake manifold described in Patent Document 1 has a configuration in which the

Next, an embodiment embodying the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the
図3に示すように、各吸気管12は、吸気流の方向を90°以上の角度で変える第1湾曲部18と、この第1湾曲部18の下流において同一方向へ湾曲する第2湾曲部19とを備えている。各吸気管12の第1湾曲部18の内コーナ側における外側には、内燃機関Egのクランクケースからのブローバイガスを各吸気管12内に導入するためのガス導入部20が設けられている。

図5、図7及び図9に示すように、垂直平面部31及び傾斜面部33の両側には、一体部12aに接触又は近接する壁部36が形成されている。この壁部36と垂直平面部30及び傾斜面部32との間には、後述の垂直平面部30及び傾斜面部32と垂直平面部31及び傾斜面部33との溶着によって生じるバリを収容するための収容室37が形成されている。なお、前記壁部36は、一体部12aに接触したとしても、その接触部が振動溶着により溶着しない程度の接触圧である。また、壁部36が一体部12aに近接するということは、前記の溶着によって生じたバリが収容室37から外部に出てこない程度の間隙を持って近接している状態を示す。
As shown in FIGS. 5, 7, and 9,
さて、上記のように構成されたこの実施形態は、マニホールド本体14、タンクカバー15、吸気管ハウジング16及びガス導入室ハウジング17の各部材を振動溶着により一体接合することで組み立てられる。前記ガス導入部20は、マニホールド本体14の一体部12aの吸気管側溶着リブ22に対し、ガス導入室ハウジング17のハウジング側溶着リブ23を振動溶着することにより構成される。すなわち、吸気管側溶着リブ22の垂直平面部30及び傾斜面部32の溶着面30a、32aに対してハウジング側溶着リブ23の垂直平面部31及び傾斜面部33の溶着面31a、33aを当接させる。この状態で、一体部12aに対してガス導入室ハウジング17を垂直平面部30,31の溶着面30a,31aに対する垂直方向(図5の矢印P方向)において加圧するとともに、溶着面30a,31aの延長方向(図5の紙面と直交する方向)においてガス導入室ハウジング17を振動させる。すると、吸気管側溶着リブ22の垂直平面部30及び傾斜面部32、ハウジング側溶着リブ23の垂直平面部31及び傾斜面部33の溶着面31a、33aが互いに溶着する。この結果、マニホールド本体14の一体部12aにガス導入室ハウジング17が接合される。なお、ガス導入室ハウジング17に対する加圧方向は、マニホールド本体14及びガス導入室ハウジング17の型抜き方向あるいはその反対方向である。
Now, this embodiment configured as described above is assembled by integrally joining the
振動溶着時において、ガス導入室ハウジング17に加えられた加圧力は、吸気管側溶着リブ22及びハウジング側溶着リブ23の垂直平面部30,31において溶着面30a,31aに対し垂直方向に加わる。従って、溶着面30a,31aは適切に圧着されて、充分な接合強度をもって溶着される。このとき、両傾斜面部32,33間の前記振動方向とは異なる方向、すなわち、傾斜面部32,33の傾斜方向へのすべりは、突部34と凹部35との嵌合により規制され、前記加圧力は、傾斜面部32,33間において溶着面32a,33a全体に対し均等に加わる。このため、溶着面30a,31a、32a,33aにおいて接合強度が不足する部分の発生が防止される。この結果、マニホールド本体14とガス導入室ハウジング17との接合強度が安定化する。
At the time of vibration welding, the pressure applied to the gas
この実施形態によれば、以下の各効果を得ることができる。
(1)吸気管側溶着リブ22及びハウジング側溶着リブ23を、互いに平行をなすとともに高低差を有する2箇所の垂直平面部30,31と、それらの間に位置する傾斜面部32,33とにより構成した。加えて、傾斜面部32,33に、凹凸の関係で嵌合する突部34及び凹部35を形成した。従って、振動溶着時における傾斜面部32,33間の滑りを防止し、溶着面32a,33a間に加わる加圧力を均等にすることができるため、マニホールド本体14とガス導入室ハウジング17との接合強度を向上することができる。加えて、前記特許文献1に記載の構成とは異なり、マニホールド本体14及びガス導入室ハウジング17において吸気管側溶着リブ22及びハウジング側溶着リブ23の外部に当接部及び受け部を設ける必要がないため、その型構造の複雑化を招かないようにすることができる。
According to this embodiment, the following effects can be obtained.
(1) The intake pipe
(2)吸気管側溶着リブ22及びハウジング側溶着リブ23の両垂直平面部30,31及び傾斜面部32,33を、交互に位置し、全体として環状をなすようにした。従って、2つの部材を環状に溶着して外部から区画されたガス導入室24を形成するブローバイガス導入のための構造において、上記(1)に記載の効果を得ることができる。従って、接続管25及びガス導入口26以外の部分を密封したガス導入部20を形成することができ、ブローバイガスを外部に漏出させることなく適切に処理できる。
