Resin welded body and method for manufacturing the same
View Patent ↗A X-Y plane is a plane parallel to abutting surfaces on which a joining portion is formed, and a Z direction is a direction perpendicular to the X-Y plane. A sealing member is held between the outer circumference side of a guide provided on a lid body and the inner circumference side of a rib provided on a case, and is pressed in a direction parallel to the X-Y plane. Laser light is scanned on the inner circumference side with respect to a ring-shaped pressurization jig with a stopper pressurized by the pressurization jig, so the pressurization jig does not break the path of the laser light. This expands the range of options in the material for the pressurization jig, which enables an easy-maintenance jig to be used, improving productivity.
1. A resin welded body in which a first resin part and a second resin part are placed opposite to each other with a predetermined clearance therebetween and form a closed space therebetween, at least part of abutting surfaces of the first and second resin parts being joined by welding, the resin welded body comprising, when a X-Y plane is a plane parallel to the abutting surfaces and a Z direction is a direction perpendicular to the X-Y plane:
a first protrusion in a circumferential shape that is provided on any one of the first and second resin parts and that protrudes in the Z direction in the closed space;
a second protrusion in a circumferential shape that is provided on the resin part opposite to the resin part on which the first protrusion is provided and that protrudes in the Z direction on the outer circumference side with respect to the first protrusion;
a third protrusion that is provided on any one of the first and second resin parts and that protrudes in the Z direction on the outer circumference side with respect to the second protrusion and abuts the opposite resin part to define the clearance between the first and second resin parts; and
a ring-shaped sealing member that is held between the outer circumference side of the first protrusion and the inner circumference side of the second protrusion and that is pressed in a direction parallel to the X-Y plane.
2. The resin welded body according to claim 1 , wherein the first resin part transmits laser light with a predetermined wavelength and the second resin part absorbs laser light with the same wavelength.
3. The resin welded body according to claim 1 , wherein the first protrusion serves as a positioning guide used for placing the first resin part and the second resin part opposite to each other.
4. The resin welded body according to claim 1 , wherein the third protrusion is provided on the outer circumference side with respect to a joining portion joined by welding.
5. The resin welded body according to claim 4 , wherein the second protrusion is provided on the second resin part and abuts to the first resin part, and at least part of the abutting surfaces are joined by welding into the joining portion.
6. The resin welded body according to claim 4 , wherein the second resin part protrudes in the Z direction on the outer circumference side with respect to the second protrusion and on the inner circumference side with respect to the third protrusion and comprises a fourth protrusion abutting the first resin part, and at least part of the abutting surfaces are joined by welding into the joining portion.
7. The resin welded body according to claim 1 , wherein the sealing member is an O-ring.
8. A method for manufacturing a resin welded body comprising: placing a first resin part that transmits laser light with a predetermined wavelength and a second resin part that absorbs laser light with the same wavelength opposite to each other to form a closed space therebetween; and applying the laser light from the first resin part side to join by welding at least part of abutting surfaces of the first and second resin parts, wherein, when a X-Y plane is a plane parallel to the abutting surfaces and a Z direction is a direction perpendicular to the X-Y plane:
a first protrusion in a circumferential shape is provided on any one of the first and second resin parts and protrudes in the Z direction in the closed space; a second protrusion in a circumferential shape is provided on the resin part opposite to the resin part on which the first protrusion is provided, and protrudes in the Z direction on the outer circumference side with respect to the first protrusion; a third protrusion is provided on any one of the first and second resin parts, and protrudes in the Z direction on the outer circumference side with respect to the second protrusion and abuts the opposite resin part to define the clearance between the first and second resin parts;
the first and second resin parts are fitted to each other with a ring-shaped sealing member held between the outer circumference side of the first protrusion and the inner circumference side of the second protrusion; and the third protrusion is pressurized in the Z direction by a pressurization means positioned on the first resin part side and the laser light is applied on the inner circumference side with respect to the third protrusion to form a joining portion.
9. The method for manufacturing a resin welded body according to claim 8 , wherein the pressurization means is a ring-shaped jig, and the laser light is scanned on the inner circumference side of the jig.
