Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は樹脂成形品に関しく、詳しくは、レーザ光に対して透過性のある透過性樹脂材と、該レーザ光に対して透過性のない非透過性樹脂材とをレーザ溶着により一体的に接合した樹脂成形品に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
近年、軽量化及び低コスト化等の観点より、自動車部品等、各種分野の部品を樹脂化して樹脂成形品とすることが頻繁に行われている。また、樹脂成形品の高生産性化等の観点より、樹脂成形品を予め複数に分割して成形し、これらの分割成形品を互いに接合する手段が採られることが多い。
【0003】
ここに、樹脂材同士の接合方法として、従来よりレーザ溶着方法が利用されている。例えば、特開昭60−214931号公報には、レーザ光に対して透過性のある透過性樹脂材と、該レーザ光に対して透過性のない非透過性樹脂材とを重ね合わせた後、該透過性樹脂材側からレーザ光を照射することにより、透過性樹脂材と非透過性樹脂材との当接面同士を加熱溶融させて両者を一体的に接合するレーザ溶着方法が開示されている。
【0004】
このレーザ溶着方法では、透過性樹脂材内を透過したレーザ光が非透過性樹脂材の当接面に到達して吸収され、この当接面に吸収されたレーザ光がエネルギーとして蓄積される。その結果、非透過性樹脂材の当接面が加熱溶融されるとともに、この非透過性樹脂材の当接面からの熱伝達により透過性樹脂材の当接面が加熱溶融される。この状態で、透過性樹脂材び非透過性樹脂材の当接面同士を圧着させれば、両者を一体的に接合することができる。
【0005】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
ところで、上記したようなレーザ溶着では、透過性樹脂材及び非透過性樹脂材の当接面同士を確実に溶着させて十分な接合強度を得るためには、非透過性樹脂材の当接面(吸収面)にレーザ光のエネルギーが十分に吸収される必要がある。
【0006】
しかしながら、透過性樹脂材やレーザ光の種類等によっては、具体的には透過性樹脂材のレーザ光透過率や加熱源として用いるレーザ光の波長等によっては、非透過性樹脂材の当接面に十分な量のレーザ光を到達、吸収させることが困難になるという問題があった。
【0007】
本発明は上記実情に鑑みてなされたものであり、透過性樹脂材及び非透過性樹脂材の当接端部における形状を工夫することにより、非透過性樹脂材の当接面により多くのレーザ光を到達、吸収させて接合強度を向上させるのに有利となる樹脂成形品を提供することを解決すべき技術課題とするものである。
【0008】
【課題を解決するための手段】
(1)請求項1記載の樹脂成形品は、加熱源としてのレーザ光に対して透過性のある透過性樹脂材と、該レーザ光に対して透過性のない非透過性樹脂材とからなり、該透過性樹脂材及び該非透過性樹脂材の当接端部同士が該透過性樹脂材側からの該レーザ光の照射により溶着されて接合された樹脂成形品において、上記透過性樹脂材の上記当接端部における上記レーザ光の入射面に凹部が設けられていることを特徴とするものである。
【0009】
(2)請求項2記載の樹脂成形品は、請求項1記載の樹脂成形品において、前記非透過性樹脂材の前記当接端部における前記レーザ光の吸収面に嵌合凹部が設けられるとともに、前記透過性樹脂材の前記当接端部に該嵌合凹部と嵌合可能な嵌合凸部が設けられていることを特徴とするものである。
【0010】
(3)請求項3記載の樹脂成形品は、請求項1又は2記載の樹脂成形品において、前記凹部は、底面から前記レーザ光が照射される側に向かって漸次開口が拡がる略台形状の断面形状をなし、該凹部の底面及び傾斜側面により前記レーザ光の入射面の一部が構成されていることを特徴とするものである。
(4)請求項4記載の樹脂成形品は、請求項2又は3記載の樹脂成形品において、前記嵌合凹部は、底面から前記レーザ光が照射される側に向かって漸次開口が拡がる略台形状の断面形状をなし、該嵌合凹部の底面及び傾斜側面により前記レーザ光の吸収面の一部が構成されているこていることを特徴とするものである。
(5)請求項5記載の樹脂成形品は、請求項1、2、3又は4記載の樹脂成形品において、前記非透過性樹脂材及び前記透過性樹脂材は、互いに整合して当接し合うフランジ部よりなる前記当接端部をそれぞれ有し、該当接端部同士がレーザ溶着により一体的に接合されることにより中空体を構成していることを特徴とするものである
【0011】
【発明の実施の形態】
本発明の樹脂成形品は、加熱源としてのレーザ光に対して透過性のある透過性樹脂材と、該レーザ光に対して透過性のない非透過性樹脂材とからなり、該透過性樹脂材及び該非透過性樹脂材の当接端部同士がレーザ溶着により一体的に接合されている。このレーザ溶着は、透過性樹脂材及び非透過性樹脂材の当接端部同士を当接させた状態で、透過性樹脂材側からレーザ光を照射することにより行われる。透過性樹脂材側から照射されたレーザ光は該透過性樹脂材内を透過して非透過性樹脂材の当接面(吸収面)に到達し、吸収される。この非透過性樹脂材の当接面に吸収されたレーザ光がエネルギーとして蓄積される結果、非透過性樹脂材の当接面が加熱溶融されるとともに、この非透過性樹脂材の当接面からの熱伝達により透過性樹脂材の当接面が加熱溶融される。この状態で、透過性樹脂材及び非透過性樹脂材の当接面同士を圧着させれば、両者を一体的に接合することができる。
【0012】
こうして得られた接合部では、接合面同士が溶融されて接合されており、該接合面同士の間では両成形部材を構成する両樹脂が溶融して互いに入り込み絡まった状態が形成されているため、強固な接合状態を構成して高い接合強度及び耐圧強度を有している。
【0013】
ここに、請求項1記載の樹脂成形品では、透過性樹脂材の当接端部におけるレーザ光の入射面に凹部が設けられている。この凹部の形状や大きさは特に限定されるものではない。例えば、略台形状、略半円状や略三角形状等の断面形状とすることができる。
【0014】
ただし、レーザ溶着する際の透過性樹脂材におけるレーザ光透過率が26%以上であれば、レーザ溶着による溶着強度を格段と向上させることができる。このため、透過性樹脂材に用いる樹脂のレーザ光に対する透過性や加熱源として用いるレーザ光の波長等に応じて、該凹部から入射するレーザ光のうちの少なくとも一部が26%以上のレーザ光透過率を確保しうるように、該凹部の形状や大きさ(透過距離)を設定することが好ましい。なお、レーザ光透過率とは、透過性樹脂材を透過したレーザ光のエネルギーの入射光のエネルギーに対する百分率をいう。
【0015】
このように透過性樹脂材の当接端部におけるレーザ光の入射面に凹部が設けられることにより、凹形状となった分だけ、透過性樹脂材におけるレーザ光の透過距離が短くなる。このため、透過性樹脂材を透過する間におけるレーザ光のエネルギーロスが少なくなる。したがって、非透過性樹脂材の当接面により多くのレーザ光を到達、吸収させることができ、透過性樹脂材及び非透過性樹脂材の当接面同士を十分に加熱溶融させてレーザ溶着による接合強度を向上させることが可能となる。
【0016】
また、請求項1記載の樹脂成形品において、前記非透過性樹脂材の前記当接端部における前記レーザ光の吸収面に嵌合凹部を設けるとともに、前記透過性樹脂材の前記当接端部に該嵌合凹部と嵌合可能な嵌合凸部を設けることが好ましい。この嵌合凹部及び嵌合凸部の形状や大きさも特に限定されず、上記凹部と同様、略台形状、略半円状や略三角形状等の断面形状とすることができる。
【0017】
ただし、透過性樹脂材に用いる樹脂のレーザ光に対する透過性や加熱源として用いるレーザ光の波長等に応じて、上記嵌合凹部に到達するレーザ光のうちの少なくとも一部が26%以上のレーザ光透過率を確保しうるように、該嵌合凹部及び上記嵌合凸部の形状や大きさ(透過距離)を設定することが好ましい。
【0018】
このように非透過性樹脂材に嵌合凹部を設けるとともに、透過性樹脂材に嵌合凸部を設ければ、非透過性樹脂材の嵌合凹部と透過性樹脂材の嵌合凸部との凹凸嵌合により、透過性樹脂材及び非透過性樹脂材の両者間に機械的な結合力が付与せしめられるので、両者の接合強度をより向上させることができる。
【0019】
また、凹凸嵌合による機械的な結合力により、透過性樹脂材及び非透過性樹脂材の当接端部における反り等が矯正されるので、透過性樹脂材の当接面と非透過性樹脂材の当接面との間に隙間が発生することを抑えることができる。このため、非透過性樹脂材の当接面における発熱を透過性樹脂材の当接面に確実に熱伝達させて、透過性樹脂材の当接面を確実に加熱溶融させることができる。したがって、透過性樹脂材及び非透過性樹脂材の当接面同士を確実にレーザ溶着させることが可能となる。
【0021】
そして、透過性樹脂材に着色剤としての染料を添加し、その添加量を種々変更することにより、透過性樹脂材におけるレーザ光透過率を種々変更して、透過性樹脂材におけるレーザ光透過率と溶着強度との関係を調べた。その結果を図に示す。
【0022】
から明らかなように、透過性樹脂材におけるレーザ光透過率が26%以上あれば、溶着強度が45MPa以上となり、十分な溶着強度を達成できることがわかる。
【0025】
上記透過性樹脂材に用いる樹脂の種類としては、熱可塑性を有し、加熱源としてのレーザ光を所定の透過率以上で透過させうるものであれば特に限定されない。例えば、ナイロン6(PA6)やナイロン66(PA66)等のポリアミド(PA)、ポリエチレン(PE)、ポリプロピレン(PP)、スチレン−アクリロニトリル共重合体、ポリエチレンテレフタレート(PET)、ポリスチレン、ABS、アクリル(PMMA)、ポリカーボネート(PC)、ポリブチレンテレフタレート(PBT)等を挙げることができる。なお、必要に応じて、ガラス繊維、カーボン繊維等の補強繊維や着色材を添加したものを用いてもよい。
【0026】
上記非透過性樹脂材に用いる樹脂の種類としては、熱可塑性を有し、加熱源としてのレーザ光を透過させずに吸収しうるものであれば特に限定されない。例えば、ナイロン6(PA6)やナイロン66(PA66)等のポリアミド(PA)、ポリエチレン(PE)、ポリプロピレン(PP)、スチレン−アクリロニトリル共重合体、ポリエチレンテレフタレート(PET)、ポリスチレン、ABS、アクリル(PMMA)、ポリカーボネート(PC)、ポリブチレンテレフタレート(PBT)、PPS等に、カーボンブラック、染料や顔料等の所定の着色材を混入したものを挙げることができる。なお、必要に応じて、ガラス繊維、カーボン繊維等の補強繊維を添加したものを用いてもよい。

【実施例】
以下、本発明の具体的な実施例を図面に基づいて説明する。
【0031】
(実施例1)
図1〜図3に示す本実施例は、本発明の樹脂成形品を合成樹脂製のインテークマニホールドに適用したものであり、また請求項1、3又は5記載の樹脂成形品を具現化したものである。
【0032】
図1はインテークマニホールドの平面図である。図2はインテークマニホールドの図1におけるA−A線で切断した切断端面を拡大して示している。
【0033】
このインテークマニホールド10は、上下に2分割されていて、上側分割体である第1成形部材11と下側分割体である第2成形部材12とから構成された中空体である。第1成形部材11及び第2成形部材12は、互いに整合して当接し合うフランジ部よりなる当接端部11a及び12aをそれぞれ有している。そして、第1成形部材11の当接端部11a及び第2成形部材12の当接端部12aの当接面11b及び12b同士がレーザ溶着により一体的に接合されている。
【0034】
第1成形部材11は、加熱源としてのレーザ光に対して透過性のある透過性樹脂よりなるもので、この透過性樹脂として、本実施例ではナイロン6に補強材であるガラスファイバーを30wt%添加してなる強化プラスチックを用いた。但し、ガラスファイバーを30wt%添加したことにより、ガラスファイバー非添加のナイロン6製のプラスチックに比較してレーザ光の透過率は30%低下している。なお、照射に使用するレーザ光はYAG:Nd3+レーザ(波長:1060nm)である。
【0035】
また、第2成形部材12は、加熱源としてのレーザ光に対して透過性のない非透過性樹脂よりなるもので、この非透過性樹脂として、本実施例ではナイロン6に補強材であるガラスファイバーを30wt%、補助剤(着色材)であるカーボンブラックを適宜量添加してなる強化プラスチックを用いた。
【0036】
なお、第1成形部材11及び第2成形部材12は、いずれもナイロン6を母材樹脂とするもので、互いに相溶性のあるものである。
【0037】
第1成形部材11は、図1のA−A線で示す部位が図2で拡大して示されているように、断面形状が略半円筒状を呈している。この略半円筒状をなす第1成形部材11の開口端部に、遠心方向に膨出するフランジ部よりなる当接端部11aが設けられている。
【0038】
そして、この部分がさらに拡大して図3に示されているように、当接端部11aの上面に環状の凹部11cが設けられている。この凹部11cは、底面から上方(レーザ光が照射される側)に向かって漸次開口が拡がる略台形状の断面形状をなしている。なお、後述するように、この当接端部11aの上面がレーザ光の入射面となる。また、この凹部11cは、該凹部11cから入射するレーザ光のうち少なくとも底面から入射するレーザ光が26%以上(具体的には30%程度)のレーザ光透過率を確保しうるように、その形状や大きさ(透過距離)が設定されている。
【0039】
一方、第2成形部材12は、第1成形部材11と同様、断面形状が略半円筒状を呈しており、略半円筒状をなす第2成形部材12の開口端部に、遠心方向に膨出するフランジ部よりなる当接端部12aが設けられている。
【0040】
そして、第1成形部材11の当接端部11a及び第2成形部材12の当接端部12aの当接面11b及び12b同士が当接された状態でレーザ溶着により一体的に接合されている。
【0041】
上記構成を有する本実施例の樹脂成形品は、以下のようにして製造した。まず、所定の射出成形型を用いて、第1成形部材11及び第2成形部材12を予め所定形状に射出成形した。そして、第1成形部材11の当接端部11a及び第2成形部材12の当接端部12aの当接面11b及び12b同士を当接させた。この状態で、図示しないレーザトーチを用い、第1成形部材11側からレーザ光を照射する。すなわち、第1成形部材11の当接端部11aの上面側からレーザ光を照射して該当接端部11aの上面からレーザ光を入射させることにより、第1成形部材11の当接端部11aと第2成形部材12の当接端部12aとの当接面11b及び12b同士を全面的に加熱溶融させて、レーザ溶着により両者を一体的に接合した。
【0042】
こうして得られた接合部では、当接面11b及び12b同士が全面的に溶融されて接合されており、該当接面11b及び12b同士の間では両成形部材11及び12を構成する両樹脂が溶融して互いに入り込み絡まった状態が形成されているため、強固な接合状態を構成して高い接合強度及び耐圧強度を有している。
【0043】
特に本実施例の樹脂成形品では、透過性樹脂材よりなる第1成形部材11の当接端部11aにおけるレーザ光の入射面に凹部11cが設けられているので、凹形状となった分だけ、透過性樹脂材におけるレーザ光の透過距離が短くなる。
【0044】
すなわち、凹部11cの底面及び傾斜側面を入射面として入射したレーザ光は、第1成形部材11の他の面(凹部11cが設けられていない部分の当接端部11aの上面)を入射面として入射するレーザ光よりも、非透過性樹脂材よりなる第2成形部材12の当接面12b(吸収面)に到達するまでに透過性樹脂材よりなる第1成形部材11を透過する透過距離が短くなる傾向にある。
【0045】
このため、透過性樹脂材よりなる第1成形部材11を透過する間におけるレーザ光のエネルギーロスが少なくなる。したがって、非透過性樹脂材よりなる第2成形部材12の当接端部12aにおけるレーザ光の吸収面、すなわち該当接端部12aの当接面12bにより多くのレーザ光を到達、吸収させることができ、第1成形部材11及び第2成形部材12の当接面11b及び12b同士を十分に加熱溶融させてレーザ溶着による接合強度を向上させることが可能となる。
【0046】
また、上記凹部11cは、底面から上方(レーザ光が照射される側)に向かって漸次開口が拡がる略台形状の断面形状をなしていることから、凹部11cの底面を入射面とするレーザ光のみならず、該凹部11cの傾斜側面を入射面とする多くのレーザ光も上記透過距離が短くなる。したがって、第1成形部材11及び第2成形部材12の当接面11b及び12b同士をより広範囲にわたって十分に加熱溶融させるのに有利となる。
【0047】
さらに、上記凹部11cは、該凹部11cから入射するレーザ光のうち少なくとも底面から入射するレーザ光が26%以上のレーザ光透過率を確保しうるように、その形状や大きさが設定されていることから、格段と向上した溶着強度とすることができる。
【0048】
(実施例2)
図4に示す本実施例は、請求項1、2、3、4又は5記載の樹脂成形品を具現化したものであり、上記実施例1のインテークマニホールドにおいて、第1及び第2成形部材11及び12の当接端部11a及び12aの形状を変更したものである。
【0049】
すなわち、第1成形部材11の当接端部11aには、その上面(レーザ光の入射面)に上記実施例1と同様に略台形状の断面形状をなす環状の凹部11cが設けられるとともに、その下面(当接面11b)に下方に突出する環状の嵌合凸部11dが設けられている。この嵌合凸部11dは、先端側(下方側)に向かって漸次縮小して突出する略台形状の断面形状をなしている。
【0050】
一方、第2成形部材12の当接端部12aには、その上面(レーザ光の吸収面となる当接面12b)に、上記嵌合凸部11dと嵌合可能な環状の嵌合凹部12dが設けられている。この嵌合凹部12dは、上記嵌合凸部11dと整合する形状とされ、底面から上方(レーザ光が照射される側)に向かって漸次開口が拡がる略台形状の断面形状をなしている。
【0051】
ここに、上記嵌合凸部11d及び嵌合凹部12d並びに前記凹部11cは、該凹部11cの底面及び傾斜側面から入射し、かつ、該嵌合凹部12dの底面及び傾斜側面に到達するレーザ光が26%以上(具体的には30%程度)のレーザ光透過率を確保しうるように、その形状や大きさ(透過距離)が設定されている。
【0052】
そして、第1成形部材11の嵌合凸部11d及び第2成形部材12の嵌合凹部12d同士が嵌合されるとともに、第1成形部材11の当接面11b(嵌合凸部11dの傾斜側面及び先端面を含む)及び第2成形部材12の当接面12b(嵌合凹部12dの傾斜側面及び底面を含む)同士がレーザ溶着により一体的に接合されている。
【0053】
上記構成を有する本実施例の樹脂成形品を製造する際には、第1成形部材11の嵌合凸部11dと第2成形部材12の嵌合凹部12dとを嵌合させるとともに、第1成形部材11及び第2成形部材12の当接面11b及び12b同士を当接させた状態で、第1成形部材11側からレーザ光を照射する。すなわち、第1成形部材11の当接端部11aの上面側からレーザ光を照射して該当接端部11aの上面からレーザ光を入射させることにより、第1成形部材11の当接端部11aと第2成形部材12の当接端部12aとの当接面11b及び12b同士を全面的に加熱溶融させて、レーザ溶着により両者を一体的に接合する。
【0054】
したがって、本実施例の樹脂成形品では、上記実施例1の樹脂成形品における作用効果に加えて、以下に示す作用効果も奏する。
【0055】
すなわち、この樹脂成形品では、第1成形部材11の嵌合凸部11dと第2成形部材12の嵌合凹部12dとの凹凸嵌合により、両者間に機械的な結合力が付与せしめられるので、両者の接合強度をより向上させることができる。
【0056】
また、凹凸嵌合による機械的な結合力により、第1成形部材11及び第2成形部材12の当接端部11a及び12aにおける反り等が矯正されるので、第1成形部材11及び第2成形部材12の当接面11b及び12b同士の間に隙間が発生することを抑えることができる。このため、非透過性樹脂材よりなる第2成形部材12の当接面12bにおける発熱を透過性樹脂材よりなる第1成形部材11の当接面11bに確実に熱伝達させて、第1成形部材11の当接面11bを確実に加熱溶融させることができる。したがって、第1成形部材11及び第2成形部材12の当接面11b及び12b同士を確実にレーザ溶着させることが可能となる。
【0057】
さらに、上記凹凸嵌合により、第1成形部材11の上記当接面11b(嵌合凸部11dの傾斜側面及び先端面を含む)と第2成形部材12の上記当接面12b(嵌合凹部12dの傾斜側面及び底面を含む)との当接面積、すなわちレーザ溶着による接合面積も増大することから、これによっても接合強度の向上を図ることができる。
【0058】
加えて、透過性樹脂材よりなる第1成形部材11に上記嵌合凸部11dを設けるとともに、非透過性樹脂材よりなる第2成形部材12に上記嵌合凹部12dを設けているので、該嵌合凹部12dの内面(底面及び傾斜側面)でレーザ光の一部が反射することを利用することができ、より均一にレーザ溶着するのに有利となる。
【0059】
また、上記嵌合凸部11d及び嵌合凹部12d並びに前記凹部11cは、該凹部11cの底面及び傾斜側面から入射し、かつ、該嵌合凹部12dの底面及び傾斜側面に到達するレーザ光が26%以上のレーザ光透過率を確保しうるように、その形状や大きさが設定されていることから、格段と向上した溶着強度とすることができる。
【0073】
(レーザ光透過率と溶着強度との関係)
ガラス繊維が30wt%添加されて強化されたナイロン6からなる板厚3mmの透過性樹脂材と、カーボンブラックが所定量添加されたナイロン6からなる板厚3mmの非透過樹脂材とを重ね合わせ、YAG:Nd3+レーザ(波長:1060nm)を透過性樹脂材側から照射して、レーザ溶着により一体的に接合した。なお、レーザの出力は400W、加工速度は4m/minとした。
【0074】
そして、透過性樹脂材に着色剤としての染料を添加し、その添加量を種々変更することにより、透過性樹脂材におけるレーザ光透過率を種々変更して、透過性樹脂材におけるレーザ光透過率と溶着強度との関係を調べた。その結果を図6に示す。
【0075】
図6から明らかなように、透過性樹脂材におけるレーザ光透過率が26%以上あれば、溶着強度が45MPa以上となり、十分な溶着強度を達成できることがわかる。
【0076】
なお、レーザ光透過率は、入射エネルギーをワーク有無で算出することにより測定し、溶着強度は、溶着部を引張り破断することにより測定した。
【0077】
【発明の効果】
以上詳述したように、本発明の樹脂成形品によれば、レーザ溶着する際に透過性樹脂材を透過するレーザ光の透過距離が短くなるので、非透過性樹脂材の当接面により多くのレーザ光を到達、吸収させることができ、レーザ溶着による接合強度を向上させるのに有利となる。
【0078】
また、透過樹脂材におけるレーザ光の透過距離が短くなれば、レーザ光のエネルギーをより効率的にレーザ溶着に利用することが可能となり、消費エネルギーの節約によりコスト低減にも寄与しうる。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a resin molded product. Specifically, a transparent resin material that is transparent to laser light and a non-transparent resin material that is not transparent to the laser light are integrally formed by laser welding. The present invention relates to a joined resin molded product.
[0002]
[Prior art]
In recent years, from the viewpoints of weight reduction and cost reduction, it has been frequently performed to resin parts of various fields such as automobile parts to form resin molded products. Further, from the viewpoint of increasing the productivity of resin molded products, it is often the case that a resin molded product is divided into a plurality of parts and molded, and these divided molded products are joined together.
[0003]
Here, as a method for joining resin materials, a laser welding method has been conventionally used. For example, in JP-A-60-214931, a transparent resin material that is transmissive to laser light and a non-transmissive resin material that is not transmissive to the laser light are superimposed, A laser welding method is disclosed in which laser light is irradiated from the transmissive resin material side to heat and melt the contact surfaces of the transmissive resin material and the non-permeable resin material so as to integrally bond the two. Yes.
[0004]
In this laser welding method, the laser light transmitted through the transmissive resin material reaches the contact surface of the non-transmissive resin material and is absorbed, and the laser light absorbed on the contact surface is accumulated as energy. As a result, the contact surface of the non-permeable resin material is heated and melted, and the contact surface of the transparent resin material is heated and melted by heat transfer from the contact surface of the non-permeable resin material. In this state, if the contact surfaces of the permeable resin material and the non-permeable resin material are pressure-bonded together, they can be joined together.
[0005]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
By the way, in the laser welding as described above, in order to surely weld the contact surfaces of the transparent resin material and the non-permeable resin material to obtain sufficient bonding strength, the contact surface of the non-permeable resin material. It is necessary that the energy of the laser beam is sufficiently absorbed by the (absorption surface).
[0006]
However, depending on the type of the transmissive resin material and the laser beam, specifically, depending on the laser beam transmittance of the transmissive resin material, the wavelength of the laser beam used as a heating source, etc., the contact surface of the non-transmissive resin material There is a problem that it is difficult to reach and absorb a sufficient amount of laser light.
[0007]
The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and by devising the shape at the contact end portion of the transparent resin material and the non-transparent resin material, more lasers can be applied to the contact surface of the non-transparent resin material. It is a technical problem to be solved to provide a resin molded product that is advantageous in improving the bonding strength by reaching and absorbing light.
[0008]

[0011]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The resin molded product of the present invention comprises a transparent resin material that is transmissive to laser light as a heating source, and a non-transmissive resin material that is not transmissive to the laser light. The contact ends of the material and the non-permeable resin material are integrally joined by laser welding. This laser welding is performed by irradiating laser light from the transparent resin material side in a state where the contact end portions of the transparent resin material and the non-permeable resin material are in contact with each other. The laser light irradiated from the transparent resin material side passes through the transparent resin material, reaches the contact surface (absorption surface) of the non-transmissive resin material, and is absorbed. As a result of the laser light absorbed on the contact surface of the non-permeable resin material being accumulated as energy, the contact surface of the non-permeable resin material is heated and melted, and the contact surface of the non-permeable resin material The contact surface of the permeable resin material is heated and melted by heat transfer from. In this state, if the contact surfaces of the permeable resin material and the non-permeable resin material are pressure-bonded together, they can be joined together.
[0012]
In the joint part obtained in this manner, the joint surfaces are melted and joined, and between the joint surfaces, both resins constituting both molded members are melted and are intertwined with each other. It has a strong bonding state and a high pressure strength by constituting a strong bonding state.
[0013]
Here, in the resin molded product according to the first aspect, the laser light incident surface at the contact end portion of the transparent resin material is provided with a recess. The shape and size of the recess are not particularly limited. For example, it can be a cross-sectional shape such as a substantially trapezoidal shape, a substantially semicircular shape, or a substantially triangular shape.
[0014]
However, if the laser light transmittance in the transparent resin material during laser welding is 26% or more, the welding strength by laser welding can be remarkably improved. For this reason, at least a part of the laser light incident from the concave portion is 26% or more according to the transmittance of the resin used for the transparent resin material with respect to the laser light, the wavelength of the laser light used as the heating source, or the like. It is preferable to set the shape and size (transmission distance) of the recess so as to ensure the transmittance. The laser beam transmittance is a percentage of the energy of the laser beam that has passed through the transparent resin material with respect to the energy of the incident light.
[0015]
Thus, by providing the concave portion on the incident surface of the laser light at the contact end portion of the transparent resin material, the transmission distance of the laser light in the transparent resin material is shortened by the amount corresponding to the concave shape. For this reason, the energy loss of the laser beam while passing through the transparent resin material is reduced. Therefore, more laser light can reach and be absorbed by the contact surface of the non-transparent resin material, and the contact surfaces of the transparent resin material and the non-transparent resin material are sufficiently heated and melted to perform laser welding. It is possible to improve the bonding strength.
[0016]
The resin molded product according to claim 1, wherein a fitting recess is provided in the laser light absorption surface at the contact end portion of the non-permeable resin material, and the contact end portion of the transparent resin material is provided. It is preferable to provide a fitting projection that can be fitted to the fitting depression. The shape and size of the fitting recess and the fitting projection are not particularly limited, and can be a cross-sectional shape such as a substantially trapezoidal shape, a substantially semicircular shape, or a substantially triangular shape, similar to the recessed portion.
[0017]
However, a laser in which at least a part of the laser light reaching the fitting recess is 26% or more depending on the transmittance of the resin used for the transparent resin material with respect to the laser light and the wavelength of the laser light used as a heating source. It is preferable to set the shape and size (transmission distance) of the fitting recess and the fitting protrusion so as to ensure light transmittance.
[0018]
As described above, when the fitting recess is provided in the non-permeable resin material and the fitting convex portion is provided in the transparent resin material, the fitting recess of the non-permeable resin material and the fitting convex portion of the transparent resin material Since the concavo-convex fitting provides a mechanical bonding force between the permeable resin material and the non-permeable resin material, the bonding strength between the two can be further improved.
[0019]
Further, since the warp and the like at the contact end portion of the permeable resin material and the non-permeable resin material are corrected by the mechanical coupling force due to the uneven fitting, the contact surface of the permeable resin material and the non-permeable resin Generation | occurrence | production of a clearance gap between the contact surfaces of material can be suppressed. For this reason, heat generated on the contact surface of the non-permeable resin material can be reliably transferred to the contact surface of the transparent resin material, and the contact surface of the transparent resin material can be reliably heated and melted. Therefore, it is possible to reliably laser weld the contact surfaces of the transmissive resin material and the non-permeable resin material.
[0021]
Then, by adding a dye as a colorant to the transparent resin material and changing the addition amount in various ways, the laser light transmittance in the transparent resin material is changed variously, and the laser light transmittance in the transparent resin material The relationship between welding strength and welding strength was investigated. The results are shown in FIG.
[0022]
As can be seen from FIG. 5 , when the laser light transmittance in the transparent resin material is 26% or more, the welding strength is 45 MPa or more, and it is understood that sufficient welding strength can be achieved.
[0025]
The type of resin used for the transparent resin material is not particularly limited as long as it has thermoplasticity and can transmit laser light as a heating source at a predetermined transmittance or higher. For example, polyamide (PA) such as nylon 6 (PA6) and nylon 66 (PA66), polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), styrene-acrylonitrile copolymer, polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polystyrene, ABS, acrylic (PMMA) ), Polycarbonate (PC), polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), and the like. In addition, you may use what added reinforcing fibers and coloring materials, such as glass fiber and carbon fiber, as needed.
[0026]
The type of resin used for the non-permeable resin material is not particularly limited as long as it has thermoplasticity and can absorb laser light as a heating source without transmitting it. For example, polyamide (PA) such as nylon 6 (PA6) and nylon 66 (PA66), polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), styrene-acrylonitrile copolymer, polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polystyrene, ABS, acrylic (PMMA) ), Polycarbonate (PC), polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), PPS, and the like, and carbon black, a predetermined colorant such as a dye or pigment, and the like. In addition, you may use what added reinforcement fibers, such as glass fiber and carbon fiber, as needed.
[0027]
Moreover, about the combination of resin used for the said permeable resin material and resin used for the said non-permeable resin material, it is set as the combination of mutually compatible things. Examples of such combinations include combinations of resins of the same kind such as nylons 6 and 66, combinations of nylon 6 and nylon 66, combinations of PET and PC, combinations of PC and PBT, and the like. it can.
[0028]
In addition, as the type of laser light used as a heating source, the transmittance in the transparent resin material is a predetermined value in relation to the absorption spectrum, plate thickness (transmission length), etc. of the transparent resin material that transmits the laser light. What has the wavelength which becomes the above is selected suitably. For example, a YAG: Nd 3+ laser (laser light wavelength: 1060 nm) or a semiconductor laser (laser light wavelength: 500 to 1000 nm) can be used.
[0029]

【Example】
Hereinafter, specific embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
[0031]
(Example 1)
In this embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the resin molded product of the present invention is applied to an intake manifold made of synthetic resin, and the resin molded product according to claim 1 , 3 or 5 is embodied. It is.
[0032]
FIG. 1 is a plan view of the intake manifold. FIG. 2 is an enlarged view of the cut end surface of the intake manifold taken along line AA in FIG.
[0033]
The intake manifold 10 is divided into two parts in the vertical direction, and is a hollow body composed of a first molded member 11 that is an upper divided body and a second molded member 12 that is a lower divided body. The 1st shaping | molding member 11 and the 2nd shaping | molding member 12 have contact | abutting edge part 11a and 12a which consist of a flange part which mutually aligns and contacts, respectively. The contact surfaces 11b and 12b of the contact end portion 11a of the first molding member 11 and the contact end portion 12a of the second molding member 12 are integrally joined by laser welding.
[0034]
The first molded member 11 is made of a transparent resin that is transparent to laser light as a heating source, and in this embodiment, 30 wt% of glass fiber as a reinforcing material is added to nylon 6 as the transparent resin. The reinforced plastic added was used. However, by adding 30 wt% of glass fiber, the transmittance of laser light is reduced by 30% as compared with plastic made of nylon 6 not added with glass fiber. The laser beam used for irradiation is a YAG: Nd 3+ laser (wavelength: 1060 nm).
[0035]
Moreover, the 2nd shaping | molding member 12 consists of non-permeable resin which is not transmissive with respect to the laser beam as a heating source, and this non-permeable resin is made of nylon 6 in this embodiment as a reinforcing material. A reinforced plastic obtained by adding 30 wt% of fiber and an appropriate amount of carbon black as an auxiliary agent (coloring material) was used.
[0036]
The first molded member 11 and the second molded member 12 are both made of nylon 6 as a base material resin and are compatible with each other.
[0037]
The first molded member 11 has a substantially semi-cylindrical cross-sectional shape as shown in the enlarged view of the portion indicated by the line AA in FIG. An abutting end portion 11a made of a flange portion that bulges in the centrifugal direction is provided at the opening end portion of the first molding member 11 having a substantially semi-cylindrical shape.
[0038]
Further, as shown in FIG. 3 in which this portion is further enlarged, an annular recess 11c is provided on the upper surface of the contact end portion 11a. The concave portion 11c has a substantially trapezoidal cross-sectional shape in which the opening gradually widens from the bottom surface toward the upper side (the side irradiated with the laser beam). As will be described later, the upper surface of the contact end portion 11a becomes the incident surface of the laser beam. The recess 11c has a laser beam transmittance of at least 26% (specifically, about 30%) of the laser beam incident from the recess 11c. The shape and size (transmission distance) are set.
[0039]
On the other hand, the second molded member 12, like the first molded member 11, has a substantially semi-cylindrical cross section, and swells in the centrifugal direction at the open end of the second molded member 12 having a substantially semi-cylindrical shape. A contact end portion 12a made of a protruding flange portion is provided.
[0040]
Then, the abutting end portion 11a of the first molding member 11 and the abutting surfaces 11b and 12b of the abutting end portion 12a of the second molding member 12 are joined together by laser welding in a state where they abut against each other. .
[0041]
The resin molded product of the present example having the above-described configuration was manufactured as follows. First, the 1st shaping | molding member 11 and the 2nd shaping | molding member 12 were injection-molded previously to the predetermined shape using the predetermined | prescribed injection molding die. Then, the contact surfaces 11b and 12b of the contact end portion 11a of the first molding member 11 and the contact end portion 12a of the second molding member 12 are brought into contact with each other. In this state, a laser torch (not shown) is used to irradiate laser light from the first molding member 11 side. That is, the laser beam is irradiated from the upper surface side of the contact end portion 11a of the first molding member 11 and the laser beam is incident from the upper surface of the corresponding contact end portion 11a, whereby the contact end portion 11a of the first molding member 11 is obtained. The contact surfaces 11b and 12b of the second molded member 12 and the contact end portion 12a of the second molding member 12 were heated and melted all over and joined together by laser welding.
[0042]
In the joint portion thus obtained, the contact surfaces 11b and 12b are completely melted and joined to each other, and both resins constituting the molding members 11 and 12 are melted between the contact surfaces 11b and 12b. As a result, the entangled state is formed, so that a strong joined state is formed and high joint strength and pressure strength are provided.
[0043]
In particular, in the resin molded product of the present embodiment, since the concave portion 11c is provided on the incident surface of the laser beam at the contact end portion 11a of the first molded member 11 made of a transparent resin material, the amount corresponding to the concave shape is provided. The transmission distance of the laser light in the transparent resin material is shortened.
[0044]
That is, the laser beam incident with the bottom surface and the inclined side surface of the concave portion 11c as the incident surface has the other surface of the first molding member 11 (the upper surface of the contact end portion 11a of the portion where the concave portion 11c is not provided) as the incident surface. A transmission distance that passes through the first molding member 11 made of a transmissive resin material before reaching the contact surface 12b (absorption surface) of the second molding member 12 made of a non-transmissive resin material, rather than the incident laser light. It tends to be shorter.
[0045]
For this reason, the energy loss of the laser beam while passing through the first molded member 11 made of a transparent resin material is reduced. Therefore, a lot of laser light can reach and be absorbed by the laser light absorption surface at the contact end portion 12a of the second molded member 12 made of the non-permeable resin material, that is, the contact surface 12b of the contact end portion 12a. In addition, the contact surfaces 11b and 12b of the first molding member 11 and the second molding member 12 can be sufficiently heated and melted to improve the bonding strength by laser welding.
[0046]
Further, the recess 11c has a substantially trapezoidal cross-sectional shape in which the opening gradually expands upward (from the side irradiated with the laser beam) from the bottom surface, so that the laser beam having the bottom surface of the recess 11c as the incident surface. In addition, the transmission distance of many laser beams having the inclined side surface of the concave portion 11c as an incident surface is shortened. Therefore, it is advantageous to sufficiently heat and melt the contact surfaces 11b and 12b of the first molding member 11 and the second molding member 12 over a wider range.
[0047]
Further, the shape and size of the concave portion 11c are set so that at least 26% or more of the laser light incident from the bottom surface of the laser beam incident from the concave portion 11c can secure a laser light transmittance. Therefore, the welding strength can be remarkably improved.
[0048]
(Example 2)
This embodiment shown in FIG. 4 embodies the resin molded product according to claim 1 , 2, 3, 4 or 5. In the intake manifold of the first embodiment, the first and second molded members 11 are used. The shape of the contact end portions 11a and 12a is changed.
[0049]
That is, the contact end portion 11a of the first molding member 11 is provided with an annular recess 11c having a substantially trapezoidal cross-sectional shape on the upper surface (laser light incident surface) as in the first embodiment. An annular fitting convex portion 11d that protrudes downward is provided on the lower surface (contact surface 11b). The fitting convex portion 11d has a substantially trapezoidal cross-sectional shape that gradually shrinks and projects toward the tip side (downward side).
[0050]
On the other hand, on the contact end portion 12a of the second molding member 12, an annular fitting recess 12d that can be fitted to the fitting projection 11d on the upper surface (the contact surface 12b serving as a laser light absorbing surface). Is provided. The fitting recess 12d has a shape that matches the fitting projection 11d, and has a substantially trapezoidal cross-sectional shape in which the opening gradually expands upward (from the side irradiated with the laser beam) from the bottom surface.
[0051]
Here, the fitting convex portion 11d, the fitting concave portion 12d, and the concave portion 11c are incident from the bottom surface and the inclined side surface of the concave portion 11c, and reach the bottom surface and the inclined side surface of the fitting concave portion 12d. The shape and size (transmission distance) are set so that the laser beam transmittance of 26% or more (specifically, about 30%) can be secured.
[0052]
Then, the fitting convex portion 11d of the first molding member 11 and the fitting concave portion 12d of the second molding member 12 are fitted to each other, and the contact surface 11b of the first molding member 11 (the inclination of the fitting convex portion 11d). The contact surface 12b (including the inclined side surface and the bottom surface of the fitting recess 12d) of the second molding member 12 and the contact surface 12b of the second molding member 12 are integrally joined by laser welding.
[0053]
When manufacturing the resin molded product of the present embodiment having the above-described configuration, the fitting projection 11d of the first molding member 11 and the fitting recess 12d of the second molding member 12 are fitted together, and the first molding is performed. In a state where the contact surfaces 11b and 12b of the member 11 and the second molding member 12 are in contact with each other, laser light is irradiated from the first molding member 11 side. That is, the laser beam is irradiated from the upper surface side of the contact end portion 11a of the first molding member 11 and the laser beam is incident from the upper surface of the corresponding contact end portion 11a, whereby the contact end portion 11a of the first molding member 11 is obtained. And the contact surfaces 11b and 12b of the second forming member 12 with the contact end portion 12a are heated and melted all over and are integrally joined by laser welding.
[0054]
Therefore, in addition to the effects of the resin molded product of Example 1, the resin molded product of the present example also exhibits the following effects.
[0055]
That is, in this resin molded product, a mechanical coupling force is imparted between the fitting projection 11d of the first molding member 11 and the fitting recess 12d of the second molding member 12 due to the concave and convex fitting. The joint strength between the two can be further improved.
[0056]
Further, since the warp and the like at the contact end portions 11a and 12a of the first molding member 11 and the second molding member 12 are corrected by the mechanical coupling force due to the uneven fitting, the first molding member 11 and the second molding are corrected. Generation of a gap between the contact surfaces 11b and 12b of the member 12 can be suppressed. For this reason, the heat generated in the contact surface 12b of the second molding member 12 made of the non-permeable resin material is reliably transferred to the contact surface 11b of the first molding member 11 made of the transparent resin material, so that the first molding is performed. The contact surface 11b of the member 11 can be reliably heated and melted. Therefore, the contact surfaces 11b and 12b of the first molding member 11 and the second molding member 12 can be reliably laser-welded.
[0057]
Further, by the concave / convex fitting, the contact surface 11b of the first molding member 11 (including the inclined side surface and the tip surface of the fitting convex portion 11d) and the contact surface 12b of the second molding member 12 (the fitting concave portion). 12d (including the inclined side surface and bottom surface), that is, the bonding area by laser welding is also increased, so that the bonding strength can also be improved.
[0058]
In addition, since the fitting convex portion 11d is provided in the first molding member 11 made of a permeable resin material and the fitting concave portion 12d is provided in the second molding member 12 made of a non-permeable resin material, The fact that part of the laser beam is reflected by the inner surface (bottom surface and inclined side surface) of the fitting recess 12d can be used, which is advantageous for more uniform laser welding.
[0059]
The fitting convex portion 11d, the fitting concave portion 12d, and the concave portion 11c are incident on the bottom surface and the inclined side surface of the concave portion 11c, and the laser beam that reaches the bottom surface and the inclined side surface of the fitting concave portion 12d. Since the shape and size are set so that the laser light transmittance of 26% or more can be secured, the welding strength can be remarkably improved.
[0073]
(Relationship between laser light transmittance and welding strength)
A 3 mm thick transparent resin material made of nylon 6 reinforced with 30 wt% glass fiber added and a non-permeable resin material 3 mm thick made of nylon 6 with a predetermined amount of carbon black added, A YAG: Nd 3+ laser (wavelength: 1060 nm) was irradiated from the transparent resin material side and bonded integrally by laser welding. The laser output was 400 W and the processing speed was 4 m / min.
[0074]
Then, by adding a dye as a colorant to the transparent resin material and changing the addition amount in various ways, the laser light transmittance in the transparent resin material is changed variously, and the laser light transmittance in the transparent resin material The relationship between welding strength and welding strength was investigated. The result is shown in FIG.
[0075]
As can be seen from FIG. 6, when the laser light transmittance in the transmissive resin material is 26% or more, the welding strength is 45 MPa or more, and it is understood that sufficient welding strength can be achieved.
[0076]
The laser light transmittance was measured by calculating the incident energy based on the presence or absence of a workpiece, and the welding strength was measured by pulling and breaking the welded portion.
[0077]
【The invention's effect】
As described above in detail, according to the resin molded product of the present invention, since the transmission distance of the laser beam that passes through the transmissive resin material is shortened when laser welding is performed, the amount of contact with the non-permeable resin material is increased. The laser beam can reach and be absorbed, which is advantageous in improving the bonding strength by laser welding.
[0078]
In addition, if the transmission distance of the laser light through the transmissive resin material is shortened, the energy of the laser light can be used more efficiently for laser welding, which can contribute to cost reduction by saving energy consumption.
