Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum Schweißverbinden von Kunststoffteilen mit Hilfe von Strahlungsenergie.The invention relates to a method for welding joining of Plastic parts using radiation energy.
Formteile aus thermoplastischen Kunststoffen können nach unter schiedlichen Schweißverfahren miteinander verbunden werden, wobei für das Aufschmelzen der Fügeflächen viele Energiearten einge setzt werden, z. B. Warmgas, IR-Strahlung, beheizte Platten oder Formteile, Reibung durch Rotation oder Vibration, Ultraschall und hochfrequente elektromagnetische Felder.Molded parts made of thermoplastics can be found under different welding processes are connected to each other, whereby many types of energy are used to melt the joining surfaces be set, e.g. B. warm gas, IR radiation, heated plates or Molded parts, friction by rotation or vibration, ultrasound and high-frequency electromagnetic fields.
Für die Serienfertigung von kleinen Formteilen bis etwa 150 mm Durchmesser, wird bevorzugt das Ultraschallschweißverfahren ein gesetzt, da es mit Schweißzeiten unter einer Sekunde sehr wirt schaftlich arbeitet. Bei größeren Formteilen wird das Vibrations schweißverfahren mit Schweißzeiten von wenigen Sekunden bevor zugt. Das Rotationsreibschweißverfahren ist auf rotationssymmetrische Teile beschränkt, und das Heizelementschweißen benötigt lange Aufheizzeiten.For the series production of small molded parts up to approximately 150 mm Diameter, the ultrasonic welding process is preferred set because it is very economical with welding times of less than one second works economically. With larger molded parts, the vibration welding process with welding times of a few seconds before moves. The rotary friction welding process is based on rotationally symmetrical Parts limited, and heating element welding required long heating times.
Die genannten Schweißverfahren benötigen spezielle, zum Teil sehr aufwendige Werkzeuge für die Fixierung und ggf. auch zur Ener gieeinbringung, z. B. Heizelemente, Sonotroden usw., da ins besondere bei den Reibschweißverfahren hohe Kräfte aufgebracht werden müssen. Beim Ultraschallschweißen und beim Vibrations schweißen werden zusätzlich die Teile und gegebenenfalls darin enthaltene Funktionsteile, z. B. Elektronik durch hohe Beschleuni gungskräfte belastet und möglicherweise beschädigt. Beim Heizele mentschweißen ist eine Schädigung durch Wärmestrahlung oder Kon vektion oft nicht auszuschließen.The welding processes mentioned require special, sometimes very much elaborate tools for fixation and if necessary also for energy pouring, e.g. B. heating elements, sonotrodes etc., because ins high forces applied especially in the friction welding process Need to become. For ultrasonic welding and vibration will also weld the parts and, if necessary, in them included functional parts, e.g. B. Electronics through high acceleration forces and possibly damaged. With Heizele Mental welding is damage from heat radiation or con vection often cannot be excluded.
Vorliegender Erfindung liegt dementsprechend die Aufgabe zu grunde, ein Verfahren zum Schweißverbinden von Kunststoffteilen mit Hilfe von Strahlungsenergie zu entwickeln, welches ohne Vor richtungen zur Fixierung der zu verbindenden Teile und ohne auf wendige Einrichtungen zum Einbringen der Schweißenergie auskommt.The present invention is accordingly the task reasons, a process for welding plastic parts to develop with the help of radiation energy, which without any directions for fixing the parts to be connected and without manoeuvrable facilities for introducing welding energy.
Die Lösung der Aufgabe besteht in einem Verfahren der genannten Art, bei dem gemäß der Erfindung die zu verbindenden Teile zuerst durch Formschluß oder inneren Kraftschluß in der richtigen End lage miteinander fixiert und die Fügeflächen dabei in Kontakt ge bracht und anschließend mit Strahlungsenergie beaufschlagt wer den.The solution to the problem is a method of the above Type in which according to the invention the parts to be connected first by positive locking or internal frictional connection in the right end fixed to each other and the joining surfaces in contact brought and then exposed to radiation energy the.
Weitere Einzelheiten und Vorteile des Verfahrens nach der Erfin dung sind anhand in der Zeichnung schematisch dargestellter Aus führungsbeispiele nachfolgend beschrieben.Further details and advantages of the process according to the inven tion are shown schematically in the drawing from management examples described below.
Es zeigenShow it
Fig. 1 eine formschlüssige Fixierung der zu verbindenden Füge teile und Beaufschlagung mit Strahlungsenergie Fig. 1 is a positive fixation of the joint to be joined parts and exposure to radiation energy
Fig. 2 das Verbinden stumpf aufeinander stoßender Fügeflächen mittels Strahlungsenergie. Fig. 2 the connection of butt joint surfaces by means of radiation energy.
Das Verbinden von Formteilen aus Thermoplasten durch Schweißen mit energiereicher Strahlung ist einfach auszuführen, wenn ein Fügeteil 1 (Fig. 1) aus Strahlung gut absorbierendem und das zweite 2 aus Strahlung zumindest teilweise durchlässigem aber mit dem ersten Teil gut verschweißbarem Material besteht.The joining of molded parts made of thermoplastics by welding with high-energy radiation is easy to carry out if one joining part 1 ( FIG. 1) consists of radiation-absorbing material and the second 2 consists of radiation which is at least partially transparent but can be welded well to the first part.
Durch die energiereiche Strahlung 3, beispielsweise Laserstrah len, die durch das durchlässige bzw. teildurchlässige Fügeteil auf die Fügefläche 4 des absorbierenden Fügeteils 1 dringt, wird letztere aufgeschmolzen und erwärmt auch die Fügefläche des nicht absorbierenden Teils 2, da die Schmelze - bedingt durch die Aus dehnung auf ein größeres Volumen - auch in der Lage ist, kleinere Spalte zu überbrücken. So wird bei Erzeugung eines ausreichenden Schmelzevolumens ein Schweißdruck von innen aufgebaut. Bei Abküh lung der Teile baut sich dieser Druck wieder ab.Due to the high-energy radiation 3 , for example laser beams which penetrate through the permeable or partially transparent joining part onto the joining surface 4 of the absorbent joining part 1 , the latter is melted and also heats the joining surface of the non-absorbing part 2 , since the melt - due to the out expansion to a larger volume - is also able to bridge smaller gaps. Thus, when generating a sufficient melt volume, a welding pressure is built up from the inside. When the parts cool down, this pressure is reduced again.
Beim Schweißen mit energiereichen Strahlen wird im Gegensatz zu anderen Schweißverfahren, wie Vibration oder Ultraschall, nur ein kleiner Bereich der Fügezone aufgeschmolzen (Fig. 2), die restli che Fügezone wirkt dabei als Abstandshalter, die die von außen aufgebrachte Schweißkraft abfängt. Es ist daher wichtig, daß keine Schmelze durch Austrieb verloren geht, damit beim Abkühlen keine Vakuolen oder Eigenspannungen durch Schrumpfung entstehen.When welding with high-energy beams, in contrast to other welding methods, such as vibration or ultrasound, only a small area of the joining zone is melted ( Fig. 2), the remaining joining zone acts as a spacer that absorbs the welding force applied from the outside. It is therefore important that no melt is lost due to flashing, so that no vacuoles or internal stresses due to shrinkage occur during cooling.
Ferner ist die Vermeidung von Schmelzeaustrieb hinsichtlich des Aussehens und der Funktion der Formteile von großem Vorteil und erspart eine sonst notwendige Nacharbeit. Konstruktive Maßnahmen, wie sie zum Verdecken des Austriebs erforderlich sind, können so mit entfallen. Beispielsweise wird bei stumpf aufeinanderstoßen den Fügeflächen nach allen Seiten ein von der Energiestrahlung nicht beaufschlagter Randbereich 5 (Fig. 2) eingehalten. Furthermore, the avoidance of melt expulsion is of great advantage with regard to the appearance and function of the molded parts and saves any rework that would otherwise be necessary. Constructive measures, such as are necessary to cover the shoots, can also be omitted. For example, if the joining surfaces abut each other on all sides, an edge region 5 ( FIG. 2) not acted upon by the energy radiation is observed.
Das gegenseitige Fixieren der Fügeteile 1 und 2 erfolgt erfindungsgemäß durch Formschluß, z. B. durch Einrastverbindungen oder Gewinde oder inneren Kraftschluß, wie Verschraubungen oder Magnete. Diese Fixierung braucht nur so dimensioniert werden, daß der örtlich entstehende Schweißdruck, der sich mit der Strahlfüh rung entlang der Nahtkontur bewegt, aufgenommen wird. Die Teile können dann, beispielsweise von einem Roboter, so geführt werden, daß die Schweißnahtkontur vom energiereichen Strahl immer frei erreichbar ist. Eine von außen aufzubringende Fixierung würde beide Fügeteile erfassen und daher die Strahlführung erheblich behindern und die Teile mechanisch belasten. Die Relativgeschwin digkeit zwischen Schweißstrahl und der zu schweißenden Naht, die Vorschubgeschwindigkeit also, hängt vom Material und dessen Wand stärke sowie von der Nahtbreite und der Strahlleistung ab und liegt gewöhnlich zwischen 0,5 und 10 m/min.The mutual fixing of the joining parts 1 and 2 takes place according to the invention by positive locking, z. B. by snap connections or threads or internal frictional connection, such as screw connections or magnets. This fixation only needs to be dimensioned so that the locally occurring welding pressure, which moves along the seam contour with the beam guide, is absorbed. The parts can then be guided, for example by a robot, in such a way that the weld seam contour is always freely accessible from the high-energy beam. A fixation to be applied from the outside would grip both parts to be joined and would therefore considerably impede the beam guidance and mechanically stress the parts. The Relativgeschwin speed between the welding beam and the seam to be welded, i.e. the feed rate, depends on the material and its wall thickness as well as on the seam width and the beam power and is usually between 0.5 and 10 m / min.
Für das Schweißen mit energiereichen Strahlen sind fast alle Thermoplaste geeignet. Die Durchlässigkeit bzw. Absorption der Strahlung ist sowohl vom Thermoplasttyp und den Zusätzen, wie Füllstoffe und Pigmente als auch von der Wellenlänge und Energie dichte der eingesetzten Strahlen abhängig. Zum Verbinden von nichtthermoplastischen Fügeteilen können diese mit thermoplastischen Beschichtungen an den Fügeflächen versehen wer den.Almost everyone is for welding with high-energy beams Suitable for thermoplastics. The permeability or absorption of the Radiation is both of the thermoplastic type and the additives, such as Fillers and pigments as well as wavelength and energy density of the rays used. To connect non-thermoplastic joining parts can do this with thermoplastic coatings on the joining surfaces the.
Für das erfindungsgemäße Schweißverfahren und die dafür bevorzugt
eingesetzten Strahlen eines Nd:YAG - Lasers sind als durchlässige
oder teildurchlässige Thermoplaste insbesondere geeignet:
Polyolefine, Polyamide, Polyformaldehyd, PMMA, PBT, PET. Weiter
hin sind auch Styrolpolymere und -copolymere, Polysulfone u. a.
geeignet.For the welding process according to the invention and the beams of an Nd: YAG laser that are preferably used for this purpose, the following are particularly suitable as permeable or partially permeable thermoplastics:
Polyolefins, polyamides, polyformaldehyde, PMMA, PBT, PET. Styrene polymers and copolymers, polysulfones and others are also suitable.
Die erforderliche Strahlenabsorption von Thermoplasten ist durch verschiedene Zusätze auf die gewünschte Strahleindringtiefe ein stellbar. Dabei haben sich die verschiedensten Farbmittel, ins besondere aber Ruß oder Nigrosin in einer Konzentration von 0,01 bis 0,10% bewährt.The required radiation absorption of thermoplastics is through various additives to the desired penetration depth adjustable. The most diverse colorants, ins especially soot or nigrosine in a concentration of 0.01 proven to 0.10%.
Andere Zusätze, beispielsweise Glasfasern, Glaskugeln und andere Füllstoffe, erhöhen zwar die Streuung der Strahlung in den Teilen und verkleinern damit die Eindringtiefe, verhindern aber nicht vollständig die Durchdringung, so daß auch derartige Materialien für zu durchstrahlende Teile bedingt geeignet sind. Auch diese gefüllten Thermoplaste sind durch spezielle Zusätze so einstell bar, daß sie die energiereiche Strahlung in der Oberfläche absor bieren.Other additives, for example glass fibers, glass balls and others Fillers increase the scatter of radiation in the parts and reduce the depth of penetration, but do not prevent completely penetration, so that even such materials are conditionally suitable for parts to be irradiated. This too filled thermoplastics can be adjusted using special additives bar that they absorbed the high-energy radiation in the surface beers.
Als energiereiche Strahlung werden Laserstrahlen beispielsweise einer Wellenlänge zwischen 0,50 und 10,90 µm, vorzugsweise zwi schen 0,70 und 3 µm eingesetzt. Die Erzeugung der Strahlung und deren Eigenschaften sind in der einschlägigen Literatur beschrie ben. Dabei sind alle Laserquellen einzusetzen, die Thermoplaste erwärmen können, insbesondere Laser, die im Infrarotbereich emittieren. Bevorzugt wird für das Schweißen von Thermoplasten der Nd:YAG - Laser eingesetzt, für viele Anwendungen ist aber auch der CO₂-Laser geeignet.Laser beams are used as high-energy radiation, for example a wavelength between 0.50 and 10.90 microns, preferably between between 0.70 and 3 µm. The generation of radiation and their properties are described in the relevant literature ben. All laser sources must be used, the thermoplastics can heat, especially lasers in the infrared range emit. It is preferred for welding thermoplastics the Nd: YAG laser is used, but for many applications the CO₂ laser is also suitable.
Bei einer Kombination von Fügeteilen aus nicht absorbierendem und absorbierendem Material wird die Fügefläche des absorbierenden Unterteils durch das Oberteil hindurch bestrahlt und durch die Absorption in der Oberfläche aufgeheizt und aufgeschmolzen. Dabei ist es von Vorteil, wenn der Einfallswinkel α möglichst klein ist, um Verluste durch Reflexion gering zu halten.With a combination of non-absorbent and absorbent material becomes the joining surface of the absorbent Irradiated lower part through the upper part and through the Absorption in the surface heated and melted. Here it is advantageous if the angle of incidence α is as small as possible is to minimize losses due to reflection.
Beim Verschweißen von Fügeteilen aus stark absorbierenden Mate rialien und bei Stumpfschweißnähten ist auch eine Bestrahlung in der Schweißebene möglich. Die Nahtbreite entspricht dann der Ein dringtiefe des Strahles.When welding joining parts made of highly absorbent mate rialien and with butt welds is also a radiation in the welding plane possible. The seam width then corresponds to the on penetration depth of the beam.
