Description

本発明は、レーザー光を用いて２つの樹脂成形品を溶接する構造に関する。   The present invention relates to a structure for welding two resin molded articles using laser light.

従来、車両用灯具のレンズとシェードをレーザー光によって溶接する構造が知られている。例えば、図６に示す車両用灯具５１では、透明なレンズ５２と不透明なシェード５３を接合し、レンズ５２のフランジ部５２ａを透過したレーザー光でシェード５３の溶着部５４を溶かし、溶着部５４の溶融樹脂でレンズ５２をシェード５３に溶接している。   Conventionally, a structure in which a lens and a shade of a vehicular lamp are welded with a laser beam is known. For example, in the vehicular lamp 51 shown in FIG. 6, the transparent lens 52 and the opaque shade 53 are joined, and the welded portion 54 of the shade 53 is melted by laser light transmitted through the flange portion 52 a of the lens 52. The lens 52 is welded to the shade 53 with molten resin.

図７（ａ）に示すように、シェード５３の端面には、レンズ５２を光軸方向に位置決めするダボ５６が突設されている。そして、図７（ｂ）に示すように、レーザー溶接機ＬＷから照射したレーザー光ＬＢで溶着部５４を溶かし、ダボ５６をフランジ部５２ａに当て、レンズ５２の沈み込みを防止できるようになっている。なお、特許文献１には、ダボ５６を用いたレーザー溶接構造が記載されている。   As shown in FIG. 7A, a dowel 56 that projects the lens 52 in the optical axis direction protrudes from the end surface of the shade 53. Then, as shown in FIG. 7B, the welding portion 54 is melted by the laser beam LB irradiated from the laser welding machine LW, and the dowel 56 is applied to the flange portion 52a, so that the lens 52 can be prevented from sinking. Yes. In Patent Document 1, a laser welding structure using a dowel 56 is described.

特開２００８−２６２８７６号公報JP 2008-262876 A

ところが、従来のレーザー溶接構造によると、図７（ｃ）に示すように、レーザー光ＬＢが溶着部５４から外れた場合、溶着部５４の一端側でシェード５３に焦げ５７が生じ、溶着部５４の他端側に未溶融部５８が残ることがあった。また、溶着部５４の両端５４ａ（図７ａ参照）はシェード５３の端面からほぼ直角に起立しているので、溶着部５４から外れたレーザー光ＬＢがシェード５３の端面を直射し、焦げ５７が拡散しやすくなるという問題点もあった。   However, according to the conventional laser welding structure, as shown in FIG. 7C, when the laser beam LB is detached from the welded portion 54, a burnt 57 is generated in the shade 53 on one end side of the welded portion 54, and the welded portion 54. In some cases, an unmelted portion 58 may remain on the other end side of. Further, since both ends 54a (see FIG. 7a) of the welded portion 54 stand substantially perpendicularly from the end surface of the shade 53, the laser beam LB deviated from the welded portion 54 directly hits the end surface of the shade 53, and the burnt 57 diffuses. There was also a problem that it was easy to do.

特に、レンズ５２とシェード５３のレーザー溶接にあたっては、溶着部５４の全域が溶けない場合、未溶融部５８がフランジ部５２ａに当たり、ダボ５６が機能しなくなり、レンズ５２の焦点距離に狂いが生じる。焦げ５７や未溶融部５８はレーザー光の照射精度を高めることで発生しにくくなるが、そのためには溶接工程を厳格に管理する必要があり、工数が増えるという別の問題が発生する。   In particular, in laser welding of the lens 52 and the shade 53, when the entire area of the welded portion 54 is not melted, the unmelted portion 58 hits the flange portion 52a, the dowel 56 does not function, and the focal length of the lens 52 is deviated. The burnt 57 and the unmelted portion 58 are less likely to occur by increasing the irradiation accuracy of the laser beam. However, for that purpose, it is necessary to strictly manage the welding process, which causes another problem that man-hours increase.

本発明の目的は、レーザー光をそれほど高精度に照射しなくても、溶着部の両端から焦げや未溶融部を解消できるレーザー溶接構造を提供することにある。   An object of the present invention is to provide a laser welding structure that can eliminate scorching and unmelted portions from both ends of a welded portion without irradiating laser light with such high accuracy.

上記課題を解決するために、本発明は、第１樹脂成形品を透過したレーザー光によって第２樹脂成形品の溶着部を溶融させ、溶融樹脂により第１および第２樹脂成形品を溶接するレーザー溶接構造において、次のような特徴的手段を提供する。   In order to solve the above-described problems, the present invention provides a laser that melts a welded portion of a second resin molded product with laser light transmitted through the first resin molded product and welds the first and second resin molded products with molten resin. The following characteristic means are provided in the welded structure.

（１）第２樹脂成形品の溶着部と重ならない部位の第１樹脂成形品に、少なくとも一部のレーザー光を拡散する拡散部を設けたことを特徴とするレーザー溶接構造。 (1) A laser welding structure characterized in that a diffusion portion for diffusing at least a part of laser light is provided in the first resin molded product at a portion that does not overlap with the welded portion of the second resin molded product.

（２）第１樹脂成形品がレーザー光透過性樹脂で成形されたレンズを含み、第２樹脂成形品がレーザー光吸収性樹脂で成形されたシェードを含み、シェードの端面にレンズを光軸方向に位置決めするダボを突設したことを特徴とする（１）に記載のレーザー溶接構造。 (2) The first resin molded product includes a lens molded with a laser light transmitting resin, the second resin molded product includes a shade molded with a laser light absorbing resin, and the lens is attached to the end surface of the shade in the optical axis direction. The laser welding structure according to (1), wherein a dowel for positioning is protruded.

（３）レンズにシェードの端面と接合するフランジ部を形成し、シェードの端面に溶着部をダボよりも高く突出するように形成し、溶着部と重ならない部位のフランジ部に拡散部を設けたことを特徴とする（２）に記載のレーザー溶接構造。 (3) A flange portion to be joined to the end surface of the shade is formed on the lens, a weld portion is formed to protrude higher than the dowel on the end surface of the shade, and a diffusion portion is provided in the flange portion where the weld portion does not overlap. (2) The laser welded structure according to (2).

（４）溶着部と重なる部位のフランジ部に透明部を形成し、シェードの端面に透明部をレンズの光軸周りで溶着部に位置決めするピンを突設したことを特徴とする（３）に記載のレーザー溶接構造。 (4) (3) characterized in that a transparent portion is formed in a flange portion at a portion overlapping with the welded portion, and a pin for projecting the transparent portion to the welded portion around the optical axis of the lens is provided on the end surface of the shade. The laser welding structure described.

（５）溶着部の両端に５°以上の型抜き角を設定したことを特徴とする（３）または（４）に記載のレーザー溶接構造。 (5) The laser welding structure according to (3) or (4), wherein a die cutting angle of 5 ° or more is set at both ends of the welded portion.

本発明のレーザー溶接構造によれば、第１樹脂成形品の拡散部が溶着部と重ならない部位で第２樹脂成形品を遮蔽するので、照射ブレによって溶着部から外れたレーザー光は拡散部で拡散した状態で第２樹脂成形品に到達し、溶着部と隣接する部位でレーザー光のエネルギー密度が減少する。このため、レーザー光の照射精度をそれほど高くしなくても、溶着部の両端から焦げや未溶融部を解消でき、工程管理が容易になるという効果がある。   According to the laser welding structure of the present invention, the second resin molded product is shielded at a portion where the diffusion portion of the first resin molded product does not overlap with the welded portion. In the diffused state, the second resin molded product is reached, and the energy density of the laser beam decreases at a portion adjacent to the welded portion. For this reason, even if it does not raise the irradiation precision of a laser beam so much, there exists an effect that a burn and an unmelted part can be eliminated from the both ends of a welding part, and process management becomes easy.

The welding part 5 is melted by the light LB, the lens 2 is positioned in the optical axis direction by the dowel 6, and the lens 2 is welded to the shade 3 by the molten resin 9 of the welding part 5.

図３に示すように、シェード３の溶着部５と重なる部位のフランジ部２ａには、レーザー光ＬＢを透過させる透明部１０が設けられ、ピン７によってレンズ２の光軸周りで溶着部５に位置決めされる。また、溶着部５と重ならない部位のフランジ部２ａには、レーザー光ＬＢを拡散する拡散部１１が設けられている。拡散部１１は、シェード３と反対側のフランジ部２ａの表面にシボ加工によって形成されている。   As shown in FIG. 3, a transparent portion 10 that transmits the laser beam LB is provided in the flange portion 2 a that overlaps the weld portion 5 of the shade 3, and the weld portion 5 is provided around the optical axis of the lens 2 by the pin 7. Positioned. In addition, a diffusion portion 11 that diffuses the laser beam LB is provided in the flange portion 2a at a portion that does not overlap the welded portion 5. The diffusion part 11 is formed on the surface of the flange part 2a on the opposite side to the shade 3 by a texture process.

上記構成の車両用灯具１において、レンズ２とシェード３のレーザー溶接にあたっては、まず、図４（ａ）に示すように、レンズ２のフランジ部２ａをシェード３の溶着部５に接合する。このとき、図２に示すように、ピン７と切欠８との嵌合によって、フランジ部２ａの透明部１０をシェード３の溶着部５に正確に位置決めすることができる。   In the vehicular lamp 1 configured as described above, when laser welding the lens 2 and the shade 3, first, the flange portion 2 a of the lens 2 is joined to the weld portion 5 of the shade 3 as shown in FIG. At this time, as shown in FIG. 2, the transparent portion 10 of the flange portion 2 a can be accurately positioned on the welded portion 5 of the shade 3 by fitting the pin 7 and the notch 8.

次に、図４（ｂ）に示すように、レーザー溶接機ＬＷからレーザー光ＬＢを照射し、透明部１０を透過したレーザー光ＬＢにより溶着部５を溶融させる。そして、シェード３上のダボ６によりレンズ２の沈み込みを規制した状態で、溶着部５の溶融樹脂９を硬化させ、レンズ２をシェード３に溶接する。   Next, as shown in FIG. 4B, the laser beam LB is irradiated from the laser welding machine LW, and the welded portion 5 is melted by the laser beam LB transmitted through the transparent portion 10. Then, in a state where the sinking of the lens 2 is regulated by the dowel 6 on the shade 3, the molten resin 9 of the welded portion 5 is cured and the lens 2 is welded to the shade 3.

このとき、フランジ部２ａの拡散部１１が溶着部５と重ならない部位でシェード３の端面を遮蔽しているので、図４（ｃ）に示すように、照射ブレによって溶着部５から外れたレーザー光ＬＢが拡散部１１で拡散した状態でシェード３に到達し、溶着部５と隣接する部位でレーザー光ＬＢのエネルギー密度が減少する。したがって、照射精度をさほど高くしなくても、溶着部５の両端から焦げや未溶融部を解消でき、工程管理が容易となる。   At this time, since the end surface of the shade 3 is shielded at a portion where the diffusing portion 11 of the flange portion 2a does not overlap with the welded portion 5, as shown in FIG. 4 (c), the laser detached from the welded portion 5 due to irradiation blurring. The light LB reaches the shade 3 in a state of being diffused by the diffusing portion 11, and the energy density of the laser light LB decreases at a portion adjacent to the weld portion 5. Therefore, even if the irradiation accuracy is not so high, scorching and unmelted portions can be eliminated from both ends of the welded portion 5, and process management becomes easy.

また、透明部１０と重なる範囲では、溶着部５の全域が確実に溶融するので、未溶融部がフランジ部２ａに当たるおそれがなくなり、すべてのダボ６を機能させて、レンズ２の焦点距離を正確に出すことができる。しかも、溶着部５の両端に大きな型抜き角θが設定されているので、溶着部５から外れたレーザー光ＬＢを両端の傾斜部で吸収し、シェード３端面の焦げを確実に防止できる。   Further, since the entire area of the welded portion 5 is reliably melted in the range where it overlaps with the transparent portion 10, there is no possibility that the unmelted portion hits the flange portion 2a, and all the dowels 6 are made to function so that the focal length of the lens 2 is accurately set. Can be put out. In addition, since a large die cutting angle θ is set at both ends of the welded portion 5, the laser beam LB deviated from the welded portion 5 is absorbed by the inclined portions at both ends, and the end surface of the shade 3 can be reliably prevented.
