Description
本発明は、熱可塑性樹脂で成形された成形品の熱溶着面間に抵抗発熱体を挟み込み、この抵抗発熱体に電圧を印加して発熱させ、この発熱で溶着面の樹脂を溶融して成形品同士を熱溶着する熱可塑性樹脂からなる成形品の熱溶着方法に関する。 In the present invention, a resistance heating element is sandwiched between heat welding surfaces of a molded product molded from a thermoplastic resin, a voltage is applied to the resistance heating element to generate heat, and the resin on the welding surface is melted and molded by this heat generation. The present invention relates to a method for heat welding a molded product made of a thermoplastic resin for heat welding products.
熱可塑性樹脂で成形されたお互いの成形品を接合する方法の一つとして、その接合面に電気抵抗に基づく発熱体(以下「抵抗発熱体」と称する。)を挟み込み、成形品を適宜な力で押圧しながら前記抵抗発熱体に電圧を印加して発熱させ、その熱で接合面の樹脂を溶融し、その後、電圧の印加を止めて冷却することにより溶融した樹脂を硬化させて成形品同士を溶着する熱溶着方法が公知である(特開昭58−59050号)。 As one of the methods for joining the molded products formed of thermoplastic resin, a heating element based on electric resistance (hereinafter referred to as “resistance heating element”) is sandwiched between the joining surfaces, and the molded product is subjected to an appropriate force. Applying voltage to the resistance heating element while pressing with heat to melt the resin on the joint surface with the heat, and then curing the molten resin by stopping the voltage application and cooling A heat welding method for welding is known (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 58-59050).
この方法は、瞬間的な熱による接合方法であるため、内部部品や外観上に何等影響を与えることなく、設備も簡単な装置で可能であることから、実用的に極めて有効な接合方法である。 Since this method is a bonding method using instantaneous heat, it is possible to use a simple apparatus without affecting the internal components and appearance, so it is a practically extremely effective bonding method. .
上記公知の熱溶着方法の場合、熱可塑性樹脂に抵抗発熱体を挟み込んで熱溶着を行う場合、一定の押圧力を加えながら加熱を続ける従来のPS、PP,ABSなどの汎用樹脂を使用した成形品においては問題なく溶着が可能であった。 In the case of the above known heat welding method, when performing heat welding by sandwiching a resistance heating element in a thermoplastic resin, molding using conventional general-purpose resin such as PS, PP, ABS, etc. that continues heating while applying a certain pressing force The product could be welded without problems.
しかし、ナイロンやPPSなど溶融温度が280℃を超えるエンジニアリングプラスチックやガラスフィラーなどを高含有に添加して機械特性を向上させた樹脂の溶着においては、抵抗発熱体の載置位置の偏りや、加熱工程における抵抗発熱体の熱膨張による抵抗発熱体の蛇行によって溶着面に昇温のばらつきが発生しやすく、先に融点に達した部分の樹脂だけが一気に低粘度化して急速な流動や樹脂のはみ出しが発生する。その結果、溶着面樹脂の低密度化、ボイド発生、不完全溶融部の発生により溶着強度や耐漏洩性の低下等を生じるという問題があった。特にガラスフィラーなどを添加した樹脂の場合にはこの傾向が顕著である。 However, in the welding of resin whose mechanical properties have been improved by adding a high content of engineering plastics or glass fillers, such as nylon and PPS, whose melting temperature exceeds 280 ° C., there is a bias in the mounting position of the resistance heating element and heating The resistance heating element meanders due to the thermal expansion of the resistance heating element in the process, and it is easy for temperature fluctuations to occur on the welded surface. Only the resin that has reached the melting point first decreases in viscosity at a stretch, causing rapid flow and resin overflow. Occurs. As a result, there has been a problem that the weld strength and leakage resistance are reduced due to the lower density of the welded surface resin, the generation of voids, and the occurrence of incompletely melted portions. This tendency is particularly remarkable in the case of a resin to which a glass filler or the like is added.
よって、前記溶融温度が280℃を超える樹脂やフィラー入り樹脂においては抵抗発熱体を挟み込んだ溶着部分を完全に溶着して強度や耐漏洩性を確保することができる溶着方法の提案が望まれている。 Therefore, it is desired to propose a welding method capable of ensuring the strength and leakage resistance by completely welding the welded portion sandwiching the resistance heating element in the resin having the melting temperature exceeding 280 ° C. or the resin containing filler. Yes.
本発明は、上記した課題を解決するのが目的であって、その溶着方法は次のとおりである。
a.熱可塑性樹脂で成形された成形品同士の接合面に抵抗発熱体を挟み込み、この抵抗発熱体に電圧を印加して発熱させることにより接合面の溶融を図り、更に接合面間に面圧 をかけて接合面同士を熱溶着する方法において、
b.接合面の熱負荷に大小の違いがある場合には熱負荷の大きい側のみ、又は熱負荷の大小を問わずその双方に予熱をかける第一工程、
c.次に、前記抵抗発熱体に印加して発熱させる電圧を前記接合面が軟化する温度に制御し ながら接合面間の距離を一定のところまで接近させて抵抗発熱体の外形の一部を接合面 の双方に喰い込ませる第二工程、
d.次に、前記抵抗発熱体に対する電圧の印加を接合面の溶融温度以上となるように制御 しながら更に接合面に面圧をかけて互いの接合面を溶融し、熱溶着する第三工程からなること、を特徴とするものである。
この発明によると、溶融する前に抵抗発熱体の位置が接合面において固定されるため、抵抗発熱体が溶融温度に達し、接合面が溶融しても位置ずれが発生しない。
The object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems, and the welding method is as follows.
a. A resistance heating element is sandwiched between the joint surfaces of molded products made of thermoplastic resin, and a voltage is applied to the resistance heating element to generate heat, thereby melting the joint surfaces and further applying a surface pressure between the joint surfaces. In the method of thermally welding the joint surfaces together,
b. When there is a difference in the thermal load on the joint surface, only the side with the large thermal load, or the first step of preheating both the thermal load regardless of the size,
c. Next, while controlling the voltage to be applied to the resistance heating element to generate heat and controlling the temperature at which the bonding surface is softened, the distance between the bonding surfaces is brought close to a certain point so that a part of the outer shape of the resistance heating element is bonded to the bonding surface. The second process to eat both
d. Then, made from the third step of the resistance to application of a voltage to the heating element by applying a surface pressure to the further joint surface while controlling so that the above melting temperature of the joining surfaces to melt the bonding surfaces to each other, heat sealing It is characterized by this.
According to the present invention, since the position of the resistance heating element is fixed on the joining surface before melting, the resistance heating element reaches the melting temperature, and no displacement occurs even if the joining surface melts.
本発明は以上のように、熱溶着の工程において、先ず抵抗発熱体の温度を接合面の軟化温度に制御し、この段階で接合面間の距離を狭めて抵抗発熱体の外周の一部を接合面に喰い込ませることにより接合面間における抵抗発熱体の位置決めを行い、その後、抵抗発熱体の温度を接合面の溶融温度に制御して接合面の溶融を行い、再度接合面間の距離を狭めて溶着を行うようにした。 As described above, according to the present invention, in the heat welding process, first, the temperature of the resistance heating element is controlled to the softening temperature of the bonding surface, and at this stage, the distance between the bonding surfaces is reduced to reduce a part of the outer periphery of the resistance heating element. Position the resistance heating element between the joining surfaces by biting into the joining surface, then control the temperature of the resistance heating element to the melting temperature of the joining surface, melt the joining surface, and again the distance between the joining surfaces Narrowing was performed to perform welding.
この結果、接合面の溶融温度が280℃以上の樹脂成形品あるいはフィラー配合の樹脂成形品の接合において抵抗発熱体の位置ずれが発生し、溶着強度が低下したり、耐漏洩性能が低下したりするという溶着欠陥が発生しなくなる。 As a result, the position of the resistance heating element is shifted in the bonding of a resin molded product having a melting temperature of 280 ° C. or higher or a resin compounded product containing a filler, resulting in a decrease in welding strength or leakage resistance. This prevents the occurrence of welding defects.
本発明は、内部に電子部品を組み込んだ樹脂製のケース本体に対してカバーを溶着してケース本体内を密閉する時に適用される。 The present invention is applied when a cover is welded to a resin case body in which an electronic component is incorporated, and the inside of the case body is sealed.
このようなケース本体とカバーの溶着においては、一定の溶着強度が要求され、かつ水密及び気密構造が要求される。 In such welding of the case body and the cover, a certain welding strength is required, and a watertight and airtight structure is required.
特に、溶着温度が比較的低い樹脂の場合には、抵抗発熱体を樹脂の溶融温度まで上昇させたのち、ケース本体とカバーとの接合面に一気に面圧をかけて溶着することが可能であったが、樹脂の溶融温度が高く、あるいはガラスフィラーのような強化材料が配合されている樹脂の場合は、抵抗発熱体の温度を樹脂の溶融温度まで高めたのち一気に溶着する方法を採用すると、抵抗発熱体の温度が高くなった分抵抗発熱体に熱変形(線膨張)が発生しやすくなり、接合面において抵抗発熱体に蛇行現象が発生し、位置ずれが生じて溶着強度の低下や耐漏洩性能の低下を招く要因となっている。 In particular, in the case of a resin having a relatively low welding temperature, it is possible to raise the resistance heating element to the melting temperature of the resin and then apply the surface pressure to the joint surface between the case body and the cover at once. However, in the case of a resin having a high resin melting temperature or a resin in which a reinforcing material such as a glass filler is blended, a method of welding at once after increasing the temperature of the resistance heating element to the melting temperature of the resin, As the temperature of the resistance heating element increases, thermal deformation (linear expansion) is likely to occur in the resistance heating element, and a meandering phenomenon occurs in the resistance heating element at the joint surface, resulting in misalignment and a decrease in welding strength or resistance. This is a factor that causes a decrease in leakage performance.
また、フィラーを配合した樹脂の場合は、溶融温度を高く設定し、かつ溶着時間を長く設定することから、樹脂の性状が変化して強度に影響することがある。 In the case of a resin containing a filler, since the melting temperature is set high and the welding time is set long, the properties of the resin may change and affect the strength.
本発明に係る熱溶着方法は、これらの問題点をすべて解消するものである。 The thermal welding method according to the present invention solves all of these problems.
特に、本発明の適用において有効性を発揮する樹脂としては次のものを挙げることができる。ABS樹脂(ABS)、ポリアセタール(POM)、メタクリル(PMMA)、ポリアミド(PA)、ポリカーボネート(PC)、ポニフェニレンサルファイド(PPS)、ポリプロピレン(PP)、ポリスチレン(PS)、ポリ塩化ビニル(PVC)、ポリブチレンテレフタレート(PBT)、AS(AS)およびそのアロイ等。 In particular, the following resins can be listed as effective resins in the application of the present invention.

本発明は以上のように、熱溶着に移る前に抵抗発熱体4を当接面2b、3b間において位置決めを行っているため、溶着工程に移っても位置ずれが発生しないと共に抵抗発熱体4の線膨張は位置決めにより強制的に押えられることから、溶着強度の低下や水密、気密性能の低下は起らない。

発明によれば、溶着部の樹脂が軟化変形状態の第一工程から、溶融状態に変化した時点で成形品の変位を検知する事により溶着部への押圧力を第一工程に比して可変弱くなるように制御する第二工程によって、従来工法では溶融状態においても押圧一定のため、ナイロンやPPS樹脂など溶融温度が280℃以上と高い場合、溶着部加熱の微妙なばらつきにより、先に溶融温度に達した樹脂の粘性が一気に低下して流出し、添加物であるガラスフィラーだけが残ってしまう現象が発生したが、溶着部への押圧力を第一工程に比して可変弱くなるように制御することにより、発熱抵抗体周囲の溶融樹脂部分を50μ〜100μを確保しつつ、所望する位置まで溶着を進行させ、これにより、溶融樹脂の流出を防ぐ事が可能となった。 According to the invention, the pressing force to the welded portion is variable compared to the first step by detecting the displacement of the molded product when the resin in the welded portion changes from the softened and deformed state to the molten state. the second step is controlled to be weak, for even pressing constant in the molten state in the conventional method, when the melting temperature nylon or PPS resin is 280 ° C. or higher and high, by subtle variations in the welded portion heated, melted earlier flows decreases the viscosity of the resin reaches a temperature at once, but the glass filler is additive remains, thus occurs, so that the variable becomes weaker than the pressing force to the welded portion in the first step By controlling the thickness of the molten resin, it is possible to proceed the welding to a desired position while securing 50 μ to 100 μm around the molten resin portion , thereby preventing the molten resin from flowing out.
第三工程では、溶着部分が密着した状態で押圧力をさらに可変制御して、成形品同士の距離を一定に保持した状態で溶着部の溶融を促進する事により、溶着面全体が溶融温度に達すまで加熱を継続する。 In the third step, the entire welding surface is brought to the melting temperature by further controlling the pressing force in a state where the welded portions are in close contact, and promoting the melting of the welded portion while keeping the distance between the molded products constant. Continue heating until it reaches.
このため、溶着部温度のばらつきによる溶融不足や過熱によるボイドの発生が抑制され安定した溶着が可能となった。 For this reason, insufficient melting due to variations in weld temperature and generation of voids due to overheating are suppressed, and stable welding becomes possible.
第四工程においては溶着面が完全に溶融後、成形品の変位が無いよう押圧を制御しながら冷却をおこなうため、溶着加工後の溶着面はがれや溶着部の寸法変化を防止する効果がある。 In the fourth step, after the welding surface is completely melted, cooling is performed while controlling the pressure so that there is no displacement of the molded product, so that the welding surface after the welding process has an effect of preventing peeling and dimensional change of the welded portion.
この工法により、図17に示すように従来工法に比べて溶着強度が47%向上した。 As shown in FIG. 17, this method improved the welding strength by 47% compared to the conventional method.
本事例では抵抗発熱体4に断面円形のものを示したが、抵抗発熱体4の断面形状は円形にこだわらず、楕円あるいは多角形においても同様の効果が期待できる。
In this example, the
図14によれば、予熱無しの場合(B)加熱完了まで170秒であるが双方の溶着品を180℃まで予熱した場合(C)加熱完了まで135秒で完了し、約20%の時間が短縮できた。また成形品全体が熱変形温度に、より近い状態から溶着を行うため、抵抗発熱体4の発熱が溶着部以外への拡散が最小限となり、前記抵抗発熱体4周囲の溶融樹脂量が予熱無しに比べて50%増加した。
According to FIG. 14, in the case of no preheating (B) 170 seconds until completion of heating, but in the case where both welded products are preheated to 180 ° C. (C) The completion of heating is completed in 135 seconds, and the time of about 20% It was shortened. In addition, since the entire molded product is welded from a state closer to the heat distortion temperature, the heat generated by the
この結果、溶融部の温度差が少なく、安定した樹脂の溶融が進行し、添加されたガラスフィラーが偏ることや、樹脂の過加熱による分解や劣化が無くなり、図17に示すように予熱無しに比べて請求項1の発明に比べて溶着強度がさらに26%向上した。
As a result, the temperature difference in the melted portion is small, stable melting of the resin proceeds, the added glass filler is biased, and there is no decomposition or deterioration due to overheating of the resin, as shown in FIG. 17, without preheating. Compared to the invention of
図19には従来工法と本発明で成形品を予熱180℃で溶着した溶着部における溶融範囲を示す。従来工法では抵抗発熱体4の下側の溶融部19は10〜20μである事が顕微鏡観察で確認できたのに対し、本発明で成形品を予熱180℃とした場合は溶融部20が30〜50μに拡大していることから、溶着強度が更に上がった事が裏付けられた。さらに、溶融部のガラスフィラーが均一に配置されている事も確認され、冷熱衝撃試験後の密封性が確保されていることが確認できた。
FIG. 19 shows the melting range in the welded part where the molded product was welded at 180 ° C. with the conventional method and the present invention. In the conventional method, it was confirmed by microscopic observation that the melted
本発明では、熱可塑性樹脂で成形された成形品同士の熱溶着において、接合される成形品の変位量を位置計測センサー16で計測しながらサーボシリンダー14を制御することにより、前記変位量により接合面2b、3bの溶融状態に合わせた押圧可変制御を行い、接合面樹脂の過熱溶融や流出を防止し、さらに接合面2b、3bが密着した状態を保持するように押圧力を可変制御して溶着部の溶融を促進し、接合面2b、3bの溶融が所望する範囲に確実に達するように制御した。この結果過溶融による樹脂の分解やボイドの発生、加熱不足による未溶融部の発生が無くなり、安定した溶着強度と溶着部の気密性を確保することができた。
