Abstract
Description
本発明は、例えば自動車部品等の防食のために用いられる被膜材を用いた端子付き電線の製造方法等に関するものである。 The present invention relates to, for example, a method for manufacturing an electric wire with a terminal using a coating material used for corrosion protection of automobile parts and the like.
従来、自動車、ＯＡ機器、家電製品等の分野では、電力線や信号線として、電気導電性に優れた銅系材料からなる電線が使用されている。特に、自動車分野においては、車両の高性能化、高機能化が急速に進められており、車載される各種電気機器や制御機器が増加している。したがって、これに伴い、使用される端子付き電線も増加する傾向にある。 Conventionally, in the fields of automobiles, OA equipment, home appliances and the like, electric wires made of copper-based materials having excellent electrical conductivity have been used as power lines and signal lines. In particular, in the field of automobiles, the performance and functionality of vehicles are rapidly increasing, and the number of various electric devices and control devices mounted on vehicles is increasing. Therefore, along with this, the number of electric wires with terminals used tends to increase.
一方、環境問題が注目される中、自動車の軽量化が要求されている。したがって、ワイヤハーネスの使用量増加に伴う重量増加が問題となる。このため、従来使用されている銅線に代えて、軽量なアルミニウム電線が注目されている。 On the other hand, as environmental problems are attracting attention, weight reduction of automobiles is required. Therefore, an increase in weight due to an increase in the amount of wire harness used becomes a problem. Therefore, instead of the conventionally used copper wire, a lightweight aluminum electric wire is attracting attention.
ここで、このような電線同士を接続する際や機器類等の接続部においては、接続用端子が用いられる。しかし、アルミニウム電線を用いた端子付き電線であっても、接続部の信頼性等のため、端子部には、電気特性に優れる銅が使用される場合がある。このような場合には、アルミニウム電線と銅製の端子とが接合されて使用される。 Here, a connection terminal is used when connecting such electric wires or in a connection portion of equipment or the like. However, even in the case of an electric wire with a terminal using an aluminum electric wire, copper having excellent electrical characteristics may be used for the terminal portion because of the reliability of the connection portion and the like. In such a case, the aluminum electric wire and the copper terminal are joined and used.
しかし、異種金属を接触させると、標準電極電位の違いから、いわゆる電食が発生する恐れがある。特に、アルミニウムと銅との標準電極電位差は大きいため、接触部への水の飛散や結露等の影響により、電気的に卑であるアルミニウム側の腐食が進行する。このため、接続部における電線と端子との接続状態が不安定となり、接触抵抗の増加や線径の減少による電気抵抗の増大、更には断線が生じて電装部品の誤動作、機能停止に至る恐れがある。 However, when dissimilar metals are brought into contact with each other, so-called galvanic corrosion may occur due to the difference in standard electrode potential. In particular, since the standard electrode potential difference between aluminum and copper is large, corrosion on the electrically base aluminum side progresses due to the influence of water scattering and dew condensation on the contact portion. For this reason, the connection state between the electric wire and the terminal at the connection part becomes unstable, and there is a risk that the contact resistance will increase, the electrical resistance will increase due to the decrease in the wire diameter, and the wire will break, resulting in malfunction or malfunction of the electrical components. be.
このため、電線と端子との接続部を被膜材で被覆する方法が提案されている。この際、塗布される被覆電線の被膜材を有色として、照射した光の反射光の強度に応じた物理量によって、被膜の厚みを検査する方法がある（特許文献１）。 Therefore, a method of covering the connection portion between the electric wire and the terminal with a coating material has been proposed. At this time, there is a method in which the coating material of the coated electric wire to be applied is colored and the thickness of the coating is inspected by a physical quantity corresponding to the intensity of the reflected light of the irradiated light (Patent Document 1).
特許文献１の方法によれば、膜厚が比較的厚い部分では、光が吸収され易いので、反射光の強度は小さくなり、膜厚が比較的薄い部分では、光が吸収されずにその下地で反射されやすく、反射光の強度は大きくなる。このため、有色の被膜による反射光の強度に応じた物理量（例えば、明度等）に基づいて、被膜の膜厚を検査することができる。 According to the method of Patent Document 1, light is easily absorbed in a portion having a relatively thick film thickness, so that the intensity of reflected light becomes small, and in a portion having a relatively thin film thickness, light is not absorbed and the substrate thereof is used. It is easy to be reflected by, and the intensity of the reflected light becomes large. Therefore, the film thickness of the film can be inspected based on a physical quantity (for example, brightness) according to the intensity of the reflected light by the colored film.
しかし、特許文献１のように、光を照射して、その反射光の強度で膜厚を測定すると、特に、膜厚が比較的薄い部分では、下地の複雑形状の金属面からの乱反射の影響を受けやすい。また、複雑な形状でかつ光沢のある金属で構成された端子やアルミニウム線では、光の当たる角度によって、反射光の強度に大きく影響を与えるため、膜厚が比較的薄い部分の検出能力にばらつきが大きい。このように、特に、被膜の厚みが薄い場合には、外乱の影響が大きくなり、所望の厚みの被膜厚さを精度良く測定することは困難である。 However, as in Patent Document 1, when light is irradiated and the film thickness is measured by the intensity of the reflected light, the influence of diffuse reflection from the metal surface having a complicated shape of the base is particularly high in a portion where the film thickness is relatively thin. Easy to receive. In addition, for terminals and aluminum wires that have a complicated shape and are made of glossy metal, the intensity of reflected light is greatly affected by the angle of the light, so the detection capability of relatively thin parts varies. Is big. As described above, particularly when the thickness of the coating film is thin, the influence of disturbance becomes large, and it is difficult to accurately measure the film thickness of a desired thickness.
本発明は、このような問題に鑑みてなされたもので、精度良く被膜の厚みを測定することが可能な被膜材を用いた端子付き電線の製造方法を提供することを目的とする。 The present invention has been made in view of such a problem, and an object of the present invention is to provide a method for manufacturing an electric wire with a terminal using a coating material capable of measuring the thickness of the coating with high accuracy.
前述した目的を達するために本発明は、被覆導線と端子とが接続される端子付き電線の製造方法であって、前記被覆導線は、被覆部と、前記被覆部の先端から露出する導線とを具備し、前記端子は、端子本体と圧着部とを有し、前記圧着部は、前記導線が圧着される導線圧着部と、前記被覆部が圧着される被覆圧着部と、前記導線圧着部と前記被覆圧着部との間のバレル間部と、を具備し、少なくとも、前記バレル間部から前記導線圧着部までの前記導線が露出する部位に光反応開始剤を含む被膜材を塗布して硬化させた後、前記被膜材に紫外線を照射して発生した蛍光の強度を測定することで前記被膜材の膜厚を判断することを特徴とする端子付き電線の製造方法である。 In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention is a method for manufacturing an electric wire with a terminal in which a coated conductor wire and a terminal are connected. The coated conductor wire includes a coated portion and a conductor wire exposed from the tip of the coated portion. The terminal has a terminal body and a crimping portion, and the crimping portion includes a conducting wire crimping portion to which the conducting wire is crimped, a covering crimping portion to which the covering portion is crimped, and the conducting wire crimping portion. A coating material containing a photoreaction initiator is applied and cured at least on a portion between the barrels between the coated crimping portion and the portion where the conducting wire is exposed from the inter-barrel portion to the conducting wire crimping portion. This is a method for manufacturing an electric wire with a terminal, which comprises determining the film thickness of the coating material by irradiating the coating material with ultraviolet rays and measuring the intensity of fluorescence generated.
前記被膜材は、母材の樹脂に対して、波長３６５ｎｍにおける吸光係数が、８０ｍｌ/ｇ ｃｍ ｉｎ ＭｅＯＨ以上の光反応開始剤が３％以下の添加量で添加されており、硬化後の－４０℃の伸びが１００％以上であることが望ましい。 In the coating material, a photoreaction initiator having an extinction coefficient of 80 ml / g cm in MeOH or more at a wavelength of 365 nm is added to the resin of the base material in an addition amount of 3% or less, and -40 after curing. It is desirable that the elongation at ° C is 100% or more.
前記被膜材は、紫外線硬化樹脂であることが望ましい。 The coating material is preferably an ultraviolet curable resin.
前記被膜材の母材の樹脂は、ウレタンアクリレートであり、前記母材の樹脂に使用するオリゴマーは、重量平均分子量が５００～５０００であることが望ましい。 The resin of the base material of the coating material is preferably urethane acrylate, and the oligomer used for the resin of the base material preferably has a weight average molecular weight of 500 to 5000.
本発明によれば、精度良く端子付き電線を製造することができる。 According to the present invention, it is possible to manufacture an electric wire with a terminal with high accuracy.
特に、波長３６５ｎｍにおける吸光係数が８０ｍｌ/ｇ ｃｍ ｉｎ ＭｅＯＨ以上の被膜材を使用するため、塗布・硬化した被膜材に紫外線を照射すると、発生した蛍光強度が十分であるために、蛍光強度から膜厚を精度良く計算することができる。また、吸光係数が高いため、光反応開始剤の添加量を３％以下とすることができる。このため、硬化時の紫外線照射の際にも紫外線が光反応開始剤で吸収されにくく、深部硬化性にも優れる。また、硬化後の－４０℃の伸びが１００％以上であれば、低温時における割れ等を抑制することができる。 In particular, since a coating material having an absorption coefficient of 80 ml / g cm in MeOH or more at a wavelength of 365 nm is used, when the coated / cured coating material is irradiated with ultraviolet rays, the generated fluorescence intensity is sufficient. The thickness can be calculated accurately. Further, since the extinction coefficient is high, the amount of the photoreaction initiator added can be 3% or less. Therefore, the ultraviolet rays are not easily absorbed by the photoreaction initiator even when irradiated with ultraviolet rays during curing, and the deep curing property is also excellent. Further, if the elongation at −40 ° C. after curing is 100% or more, cracking or the like at low temperature can be suppressed.
また、被膜材が紫外線硬化樹脂であれば、短時間で被膜材を硬化させることができる。 Further, if the coating material is an ultraviolet curable resin, the coating material can be cured in a short time.
本発明によれば、精度良く被膜の厚みを測定することが可能な被膜材を用いた端子付き電線の製造方法を提供することができる。 INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a method for manufacturing an electric wire with a terminal using a coating material capable of measuring the thickness of the coating with high accuracy.
以下、図面を参照しながら、本発明の実施形態について説明する。図１は、端子付き電線１０を示す斜視図であり、図２は断面図である。なお、図１は、被膜材１７を透視した図である。端子付き電線１０は、端子１と被覆導線１１が接続されて構成される。 Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an electric wire 10 with a terminal, and FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view. Note that FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the coating material 17. The electric wire 10 with a terminal is configured by connecting the terminal 1 and the coated conductor wire 11.
被覆導線１１は、アルミニウムまたはアルミニウム合金製である導線１３と、導線１３を被覆する被覆部１５からなる。すなわち、被覆導線１１は、被覆部１５と、その先端から露出する導線１３とを具備する。導線１３は、例えば、複数の素線が撚り合わせられた撚り線である。 The coated conductor 11 includes a conductor 13 made of aluminum or an aluminum alloy, and a covering portion 15 that covers the conductor 13. That is, the coated conductor 11 includes a coated portion 15 and a conductor 13 exposed from the tip thereof. The conductor 13 is, for example, a stranded wire in which a plurality of strands are twisted together.
端子１は、オ－プンバレル型であり、銅または銅合金製である。端子１には被覆導線１１が接続される。端子１は、端子本体３と圧着部５とがトランジション部４を介して連結されて構成される。圧着部５と端子本体３の間に位置するトランジション部４は、上方が開口する。
The terminal 1 is an open barrel type and is made of copper or a copper alloy. A coated conductor 11 is connected to the terminal 1. The terminal 1 is configured by connecting the
端子本体３は、所定の形状の板状素材を、断面が矩形の筒体に形成したものである。端子本体３は、内部に、板状素材を矩形の筒体内に折り込んで形成される弾性接触片を有する。端子本体３は、前端部から雄型端子などが挿入されて接続される。なお、以下の説明では、端子本体３が、雄型端子等の挿入タブ（図示省略）の挿入を許容する雌型端子である例を示すが、本発明において、この端子本体３の細部の形状は特に限定されない。例えば、雌型の端子本体３に代えて例えば雄型端子の挿入タブを設けてもよい。
The
圧着部５は、被覆導線１１と圧着される部位であり、圧着前においては、端子１の長手方向に垂直な断面形状が略Ｕ字状のバレル形状を有する。端子１の圧着部５は、被覆導線１１の先端側に被覆部１５から露出する導線１３を圧着する導線圧着部７と、被覆導線１１の被覆部１５を圧着する被覆圧着部９と、導線圧着部７と被覆圧着部９の間のバレル間部８からなる。 The crimping portion 5 is a portion to be crimped to the coated conducting wire 11, and before crimping, the crimping portion 5 has a barrel shape having a substantially U-shaped cross section perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the terminal 1. The crimping portion 5 of the terminal 1 has a lead wire crimping portion 7 that crimps the lead wire 13 exposed from the coated lead wire 11 to the tip end side of the coated lead wire 11, a coated crimping portion 9 that crimps the coated portion 15 of the coated lead wire 11, and a lead wire crimping portion. It is composed of a barrel-to-barrel portion 8 between the portion 7 and the covering crimping portion 9.
導線圧着部７の内面の一部には、幅方向（長手方向に垂直な方向）に、図示を省略したセレーションが設けられる。このようにセレーションを形成することで、導線１３を圧着した際に、導線１３の表面の酸化膜を破壊しやすく、また、導線１３との接触面積を増加させることができる。 A part of the inner surface of the conductor crimping portion 7 is provided with serrations (not shown) in the width direction (direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction). By forming the serrations in this way, when the conductor 13 is crimped, the oxide film on the surface of the conductor 13 is easily broken, and the contact area with the conductor 13 can be increased.
被覆導線１１の先端は、被覆部１５が剥離され、内部の導線１３が露出する。被覆導線１１の被覆部１５は、端子１の被覆圧着部９によって圧着される。また、被覆部１５が剥離されて露出する導線１３は、導線圧着部７により圧着される。導線圧着部７において、導線１３と端子１とが電気的に接続される。なお、被覆部１５の端面は、被覆圧着部９と導線圧着部７の間のバレル間部８に位置する。 At the tip of the coated conductor 11, the coated portion 15 is peeled off, and the inner conductor 13 is exposed. The coated portion 15 of the coated conductor 11 is crimped by the coated crimping portion 9 of the terminal 1. Further, the conductor 13 exposed by peeling off the covering portion 15 is crimped by the conductor crimping portion 7. In the conductor crimping portion 7, the conductor 13 and the terminal 1 are electrically connected. The end face of the covering portion 15 is located at the barrel-to-barrel portion 8 between the covering crimping portion 9 and the conductor crimping portion 7.
本発明では、少なくとも、被覆部１５から露出する導線１３が、被膜材１７で覆われる。すなわち、少なくとも、バレル間部８から導線圧着部７までの導線１３が露出する部位が被膜材１７で覆われており、導線１３は、被膜材１７によって外部に露出しない。被膜材１７は防食材として機能し、被覆対象部材である端子付き電線に塗布して硬化させることで、防食構造を構成する。 In the present invention, at least the conducting wire 13 exposed from the covering portion 15 is covered with the coating material 17. That is, at least the portion where the conductor 13 from the barrel inter-barrel portion 8 to the conductor crimping portion 7 is exposed is covered with the coating material 17, and the conductor 13 is not exposed to the outside by the coating material 17. The coating material 17 functions as a food-preventing material, and forms an anticorrosion structure by being applied to an electric wire with a terminal, which is a member to be covered, and cured.
被膜材１７の母材の樹脂には、光反応開始剤が添加される。光反応開始剤とは、例えば紫外線などの光を受けると、***してラジカルを生成する物質をいう。光反応開始剤は、光を吸収しやすい性質を持っており、例えば紫外線を照射すると、ラジカルという非常に不安定な反応しやすい状態に変化する。例えば、光反応開始剤が添加されている紫外線硬化樹脂では、ラジカルは、次に近くにある他の主剤（オリゴマーやモノマー）を非常に反応しやすいラジカルに変化させる。こうしてラジカルの連鎖反応が進み、小さな分子だったオリゴマー・モノマーは互いに結合し分子量の大きい高分子ポリマーの固体に変化する。固体に変化することを、紫外線硬化樹脂が硬化したと表現され、重合と呼ばれる。 A photoreaction initiator is added to the resin of the base material of the coating material 17. The photoreaction initiator is a substance that splits to generate radicals when it receives light such as ultraviolet rays. The photoreaction initiator has a property of easily absorbing light, and when irradiated with ultraviolet rays, for example, it changes to a very unstable and easily reacting state called a radical. For example, in an ultraviolet curable resin to which a photoinitiator has been added, the radicals change other nearby main agents (oligomers and monomers) into highly reactive radicals. In this way, the radical chain reaction proceeds, and the oligomers and monomers, which were small molecules, bond with each other and change into a solid polymer with a large molecular weight. The change to a solid is expressed as the UV curable resin being cured, and is called polymerization.
この硬化した後のポリマーの末端には反応前は光反応開始剤であった物質が付加しており、紫外線を吸収しやすい性質は、硬化後も引き継いでいる。硬化後は反応が終了し物質が安定な状態になっているため、硬化後に吸収した紫外線のエネルギ－は蛍光というエネルギ－に変換されて放出される。この放出された蛍光の強度は、硬化した被膜材１７の膜厚や、使用する光反応開始剤の種類や添加量に応じて、その蛍光強度が変化しうる。 A substance that was a photoreaction initiator before the reaction is added to the end of the polymer after curing, and the property of easily absorbing ultraviolet rays is inherited even after curing. After curing, the reaction is completed and the substance is in a stable state, so the energy of the ultraviolet rays absorbed after curing is converted into energy called fluorescence and released. The intensity of the emitted fluorescence may change depending on the film thickness of the cured coating material 17, the type of photoreaction initiator used, and the amount of the photoreaction initiator added.
従って、あらかじめ光反応開始剤の種類や添加量が決められた被膜材１７の膜厚と、蛍光強度の関係式を算出しておけば、被覆対象部材に塗布されて硬化された被膜材１７に紫外線を照射した際の蛍光強度から、その膜厚の分布を算出することができる。この際、被膜材１７に含まれる光反応開始剤から発せられる蛍光強度を利用して膜厚を算出するため、反射光のように下地の金属面の状態に左右されず、ばらつきなく、安定的な膜厚検査が可能である。 Therefore, if the relational expression between the film thickness of the coating material 17 in which the type and the amount of the photoreaction initiator is determined and the fluorescence intensity is calculated in advance, the coating material 17 applied to the member to be coated and cured can be obtained. The distribution of the film thickness can be calculated from the fluorescence intensity when irradiated with ultraviolet rays. At this time, since the film thickness is calculated using the fluorescence intensity emitted from the photoreaction initiator contained in the coating material 17, it is not affected by the state of the underlying metal surface like reflected light, and is stable without variation. It is possible to inspect various film thicknesses.
本発明では、照射する紫外線の波長（３６５ｎｍ）において、光反応開始剤のメタノール中における吸光係数が、８０ｍｌ/ｇ ｃｍ ｉｎ ＭｅＯＨ以上とする。さらに好ましくは、１５０ｍｌ/ｇ ｃｍ ｉｎ ＭｅＯＨ以上である。ここで、吸光係数とは、光がある媒質（溶液）に入射したとき、その媒質がどれくらいの光を吸収するのかを示す定数である。ランベルト・ベールの法則に従えば、媒質をある距離通過した光の強度と入射した光の強度の比の対数（吸光度）は、通過距離と比例関係にあり、その比例係数を吸光係数と呼ぶ。媒質に入射する前の光の強度をＩ０としたとき、入射後の光の強度Ｉはランベルト・ベールの法則から吸収係数α、βおよびεを用いて以下の式で示される。
Ｉ＝Ｉ０ｅ－αｘ＝Ｉ０１０－βｘ＝Ｉ０１０－εｃｘ
In the present invention, the extinction coefficient of the photoreaction initiator in methanol is 80 ml / g cm in MeOH or more at the wavelength of the irradiated ultraviolet rays (365 nm). More preferably, it is 150 ml / g cm in MeOH or more. Here, the extinction coefficient is a constant indicating how much light the medium absorbs when the light is incident on a certain medium (solution). According to Lambert-Beer's law, the logarithmic ratio (absorbance) of the ratio of the intensity of light that has passed through a medium for a certain distance to the intensity of incident light is proportional to the passing distance, and the proportionality coefficient is called the extinction coefficient. Assuming that the intensity of the light before it is incident on the medium is I0 , the intensity I of the light after the incident is expressed by the following equation using the absorption coefficients α, β and ε from Lambert-Beer's law.
I = I 0 e-αx = I 0 10- βx = I 0 10 - εcx
なお、上記式において、ｘは媒質の距離、ｃは溶液のモル濃度である。したがって、次式で吸光係数が求められる。
α＝－（１／ｘ）・ｌｎ（Ｉ／Ｉ０）
β＝－（１／ｘ）・ｌｏｇ１０（Ｉ／Ｉ０）
ε＝－（１／ｃｘ）・ｌｏｇ１０（Ｉ／Ｉ０）
以上により、溶液の吸光係数は、溶液層の厚さが既知のセルに光反応開始剤を溶解させた濃度既知の溶液を入れ、入射光と溶液を通過した光の強度の比から求めることができる。
In the above formula, x is the distance of the medium and c is the molar concentration of the solution. Therefore, the extinction coefficient can be obtained by the following equation.
α =-(1 / x) · ln (I / I 0 )
β =-(1 / x) · log 10 (I / I 0 )
ε =-(1 / cx) · log 10 (I / I 0 )
Based on the above, the absorption coefficient of the solution can be obtained from the ratio of the incident light and the intensity of the light passing through the solution by putting a solution having a known concentration in which the photoinitiator is dissolved in a cell having a known solution layer thickness. can.
本実施形態のように、光反応開始剤の吸光係数が、８０ｍｌ/ｇ ｃｍ ｉｎ ＭｅＯＨ以上であれば、光反応開始剤が、十分な蛍光強度を発するに足りる量の紫外線を吸収することができる。このように、吸光係数の大きな光反応開始剤を用いることで、光反応開始剤の添加量を減らすことができる。本発明では、光反応開始剤の添加量は３％以下とすることが望ましい。すなわち、本実施形態では、被膜材１７の母材の樹脂に対して、波長３６５ｎｍにおける吸光係数が、８０ｍｌ/ｇ ｃｍ ｉｎ ＭｅＯＨ以上の光反応開始剤が３質量％以下の添加量で添加されることが望ましい。 As in the present embodiment, when the absorption coefficient of the photoreaction initiator is 80 ml / g cm in MeOH or more, the photoreaction initiator can absorb an amount of ultraviolet rays sufficient to emit sufficient fluorescence intensity. .. As described above, by using the photoreaction initiator having a large extinction coefficient, the amount of the photoreaction initiator added can be reduced. In the present invention, the amount of the photoreaction initiator added is preferably 3% or less. That is, in the present embodiment, a photoreaction initiator having an extinction coefficient of 80 ml / g cm in MeOH or more at a wavelength of 365 nm is added to the resin of the base material of the coating material 17 in an amount of 3% by mass or less. Is desirable.
前述したように、光反応開始剤は紫外線を吸収する性質があるため、蛍光強度を強めるために光反応開始剤の添加量を増やすと、端子に塗布した被膜材１７に紫外線を照射して硬化せしめる際に、紫外線が深部に到達せず、塗布した被膜材１７の深部に未硬化部分が残り、防食性が劣る場合がある。これに対し、本発明では、高い吸光係数の光反応開始剤を少ない添加量で被膜材１７へ添加するため、硬化時には紫外線が深部まで届き、かつ、硬化後には蛍光を効率よく発せさせることができる。したがって、端子の深部に浸透した被膜材１７を硬化することができ、より高度な防食性を付与することができる。なお、十分な蛍光強度を得るためには、光反応開始剤の添加量は少なくとも０．５質量％以上であることが望ましい。光反応開始剤の添加量は、例えば紫外線吸収スペクトル分析で光反応開始剤の吸収波長を測定することで特定することができる。 As described above, since the photoreaction initiator has a property of absorbing ultraviolet rays, if the amount of the photoreaction initiator added is increased in order to enhance the fluorescence intensity, the coating material 17 applied to the terminals is irradiated with ultraviolet rays and cured. At the time of squeezing, the ultraviolet rays do not reach the deep part, and the uncured portion remains in the deep part of the coated film material 17, and the corrosion resistance may be inferior. On the other hand, in the present invention, since the photoreaction initiator having a high extinction coefficient is added to the coating material 17 in a small amount, the ultraviolet rays reach deep during curing and efficiently emit fluorescence after curing. can. Therefore, the coating material 17 that has penetrated deep into the terminal can be cured, and a higher degree of corrosion resistance can be imparted. In order to obtain sufficient fluorescence intensity, it is desirable that the amount of the photoreaction initiator added is at least 0.5% by mass or more. The amount of the photoreaction initiator added can be specified, for example, by measuring the absorption wavelength of the photoreaction initiator by ultraviolet absorption spectrum analysis.
このような光反応開始剤としては、ベンジルジメチルケタール系、ヒドロキシケトン系、α－アミノケトン系、アシルフォスフィンオキサイド系、オキシムエステル系などが適用可能である。特に３６５ｎｍの吸光係数の高い光反応開始剤として、ベンジルジメチルケタール系としては、２，２－ジメトキシ－１，２－ジフェニルエタン－１－オンが挙げられる。市販品ではＩＲＧＡＣＵＲＥ６５１（商品名、ＢＡＳＦ社製）を挙げることができる。 As such a photoreaction initiator, a benzyldimethylketal type, a hydroxyketone type, an α-aminoketone type, an acylphosphine oxide type, an oxime ester type and the like can be applied.

It contributes to curing and can react more efficiently.
また、アシルフォスフィンオキサイド系としては、ビス（２，４，６－トリメチルベンゾイル）－フェニルフォスフィンオキサイド、２，４，６－トリメチルベンゾイル－ジフェニル－フォスフィンオキサイドが挙げられる。市販品ではＬｕｃｉｒｉｎ－ＴＰＯ、ＤＡＲＯＣＵＲ－ＴＰＯやＩＲＧＡＣＵＲＥ８１９（いずれも商品名、ＢＡＳＦ社製）を挙げることができる。２６０～４４０ｎｍに吸収ピークを持ち、分解により吸収がなくなるブリーチング効果が得られ、表面だけではなく、内部の硬化度も高くすることができる。さらには、ヒドロキシケトン系、１－ヒドロキシ－シクロヘキシル－フェニル－ケトン（市販品ではＩｒｕｇａｃｕｒｅ１８４（商品名、ＢＡＳＦ社製））と組み合わせることで表面から深部までの硬化が得られる。 Examples of the acylphosphine oxide system include bis (2,4,6-trimethylbenzoyl) -phenylphosphinoxide and 2,4,6-trimethylbenzoyl-diphenyl-phosphinoxide. Examples of commercially available products include Lucirin-TPO, DAROCUR-TPO, and IRGACURE819 (trade names, all manufactured by BASF). It has an absorption peak at 260 to 440 nm, a bleaching effect that eliminates absorption due to decomposition can be obtained, and the degree of curing not only on the surface but also on the inside can be increased. Further, by combining with a hydroxyketone type, 1-hydroxy-cyclohexyl-phenyl-ketone (commercially available, Irugacure 184 (trade name, manufactured by BASF)), curing from the surface to the deep part can be obtained.
なお、フォトブリーチング（ｐｈｏｔｏｂｌｅａｃｈｉｎｇ）とは、光退色、光脱色とも書き、環境効果の一つで、励起蛍光分子でまれにみられる光化学的性質を指す。この反応は、励起状態にある蛍光物質が基底状態に比べて化学的に活性化され不安定になるために起こる。この反応の結果、蛍光分子が最終的に低蛍光性の構造に変化することを意味する。本実施形態に係る発明では、光反応開始剤が、ある紫外線領域において光を吸収し、ラジカルを発生させて紫外線硬化樹脂に重合を開始させる際に、ラジカル発生後の光反応開始剤の分子の共役結合が切断され、該紫外線領域における吸光度が低下することを、フォトブリーチングという。その結果、その紫外線領域における光を内部まで透過させることができるため、厚い膜であっても硬化をスムーズに進ませることができる。 Photobleaching is also described as photobleaching and photobleaching, and is one of the environmental effects, and refers to the photochemical properties rarely seen in excited fluorescent molecules. This reaction occurs because the excited fluorescent material is chemically activated and unstable compared to the ground state. This means that as a result of this reaction, the fluorescent molecule will eventually change to a low fluorescence structure. In the invention according to the present embodiment, when the photoreaction initiator absorbs light in a certain ultraviolet region and generates radicals to initiate polymerization on the ultraviolet curable resin, the molecule of the photoreaction initiator after radical generation is used. The fact that the conjugate bond is broken and the absorbance in the ultraviolet region decreases is called photobleaching. As a result, since the light in the ultraviolet region can be transmitted to the inside, the curing can proceed smoothly even with a thick film.
また、オキシムエステル系としては、１.２－オクタンジオン，１－［４－（フェニルチオ）－，２－（０－ベンゾイルオキシム）］、エタノン，１－［９－エチル－６－（２－メチルベンゾイル）－９Ｈ－カルバゾール－３－イル］－，１－（０－アセチルオキシム）が挙げられる。市販品ではＩＲＧＡＣＵＲＥ ＯＸＥ０１やＩＲＧＡＣＵＲＥ ＯＸＥ０２（いずれも商品名、ＢＡＳＦ社製）を挙げることができるが、ＩＲＧＡＣＵＲＥ ＯＸＥ０１（商品名、ＢＡＳＦ社製）はフォトブリーチングするため、より良い。また、ヒドロキシケトン系、１－ヒドロキシ－シクロヘキシル－フェニル－ケトン（市販品ではＩｒｕｇａｃｕｒｅ１８４（商品名、ＢＡＳＦ社製））と組み合わせることで表面から深部までの硬化が得られる。 The oxime ester system includes 1.2-octanedione, 1- [4- (phenylthio)-, 2- (0-benzoyloxime)], etanone, 1- [9-ethyl-6- (2-methyl). Benzoyl) -9H-carbazole-3-yl]-, 1- (0-acetyloxime) can be mentioned. Examples of commercially available products include IRGACURE OXE01 and IRGACURE OXE02 (both trade names, manufactured by BASF), but IRGACURE OXE01 (trade name, manufactured by BASF) is better because it is photobleached. Further, by combining with a hydroxyketone type, 1-hydroxy-cyclohexyl-phenyl-ketone (commercially available, Irugacure 184 (trade name, manufactured by BASF)), curing from the surface to the deep part can be obtained.
なお、前述したように、紫外線硬化樹脂の主反応はラジカル重合であり、紫外線の作用で、光反応開始剤が分解して生じたラジカルが変性アクリレートの二重結合を攻撃し、ラジカル重合が開始される。ベース樹脂は、変性アクリレートであって、エポキシ、ポリエステル、ウレタンなどの主鎖の両末端にアクリル基を付加させたもので、このアクリル基が紫外線により重合する反応基となる。また、紫外線硬化樹脂の主成分である変性アクリレートが持つ他の機能を付与することにより、紫外線が届き難い部分も紫外線照射と同時に硬化させたり、あるいは工程中に硬化させることができる。例えば、変性アクリレートは、紫外線硬化と湿気硬化、熱硬化、嫌気性硬化をそれぞれ付与することが可能である。紫外線硬化と、湿気硬化乃至は、嫌気硬化、この両方の性質をバランスよく付与させることで、深部硬化性を付与することができる。 As described above, the main reaction of the ultraviolet curable resin is radical polymerization, and the radical generated by the decomposition of the photoreaction initiator by the action of ultraviolet rays attacks the double bond of the modified acrylate, and the radical polymerization is started. Will be done. The base resin is a modified acrylate in which acrylic groups are added to both ends of the main chain of epoxy, polyester, urethane, etc., and the acrylic groups serve as reaction groups to be polymerized by ultraviolet rays. Further, by imparting other functions of the modified acrylate which is the main component of the ultraviolet curable resin, the portion where the ultraviolet rays are difficult to reach can be cured at the same time as the ultraviolet irradiation, or can be cured during the process. For example, the modified acrylate can impart ultraviolet curing, moisture curing, thermosetting, and anaerobic curing, respectively. Deep curability can be imparted by imparting both properties of ultraviolet curing, moisture curing, or anaerobic curing in a well-balanced manner.
湿気硬化はシリコーン変性アクリレートが好適に使用され、紫外線硬化終了後に、湿気によりさらに硬化させることができる。また、熱硬化は、熱硬化性のエポキシ変性アクリレートを併用することによって、紫外線を照射することによって、熱硬化しにくい樹脂表面を硬化させ、さらに加熱により、紫外線が届き難い部分を短時間で完全硬化させることができる。嫌気硬化については、金属イオンが介在する条件で、紫外線による硬化の際の照射熱による嫌気硬化促進や、紫外線硬化による表面部分の空気遮断により、比較的速やかに硬化が完了する。 Silicone-modified acrylates are preferably used for moisture curing, and can be further cured by moisture after UV curing is completed. In addition, thermosetting cures the surface of the resin that is difficult to heat cure by irradiating it with ultraviolet rays by using it in combination with a thermosetting epoxy-modified acrylate, and further heats it to completely cover the parts that are difficult to reach by ultraviolet rays in a short time. Can be cured. With regard to anaerobic curing, under the condition that metal ions intervene, curing is completed relatively quickly by promoting anaerobic curing by irradiation heat at the time of curing by ultraviolet rays and by blocking air on the surface portion by ultraviolet curing.
このような硬化方法は、紫外線の照射による硬化工程が最も硬化時間が短くなるため、製造上最もコスト的に有利であるが、湿気硬化または嫌気硬化であれば、特別な硬化工程を設けることなく、紫外線硬化の後に、自然硬化させることができるためより望ましい方法である。なお、熱硬化は紫外線硬化とは別に熱硬化工程が必要であり、また、嫌気硬化は、金属の介在する環境のみ硬化するため、被膜材などの高分子材料との接触面も硬化できる湿気硬化が最も望ましい。 Such a curing method is the most cost-effective in terms of manufacturing because the curing process by irradiation with ultraviolet rays has the shortest curing time, but in the case of moisture curing or anaerobic curing, no special curing step is provided. This is a more desirable method because it can be naturally cured after being cured by ultraviolet rays. In addition, thermosetting requires a thermosetting step separately from ultraviolet curing, and anaerosetting cures only in an environment where metal is present, so that the contact surface with a polymer material such as a coating material can also be cured by moisture. Is the most desirable.
また、紫外線硬化樹脂に限らず、他の硬化タイプの樹脂であっても透明・半透明であれば、同じような添加剤をいれることで蛍光測定により膜厚検査が可能である。例えば、熱可塑性樹脂としては、ポリエチレン、ポリプロピレン、シアノアクリレート、ポリエチレンテレフタレート、塩化ビニル、ポリスチレン、ＡＢＳ樹脂、アクリル樹脂、ポリアミド、ポリカーボネート、四フッ化エチレン、エチレン－酢酸ビニル共重合体。エチレン－アクリレート共重合体、エチレン－アクリル酸エステル共重合体、など、非結性ポリマーもしくは、結晶性ポリマーでも結晶性の低いグレードの樹脂が透明もしくは半透明となり照射する紫外線の透過を妨げ難く、好適に使用することができる。また、熱硬化性樹脂としては、フェノール樹脂、メラミン樹脂、不飽和ポリエステル樹脂、エポキシ樹脂が挙げられる。その他、常温で液状の樹脂であって、湿気や熱や溶剤の揮散などにより硬化する樹脂として、シアノアクリレートや、ポリウレタン樹脂、酢酸ビニル、クロロプレン、イソプレン、スチレン－ブチレンゴム、シリコーンゴム、二トリルゴムなどが挙げられる。 Further, not only the ultraviolet curable resin but also other curable type resins can be inspected for film thickness by fluorescence measurement by adding a similar additive as long as it is transparent or translucent. For example, examples of the thermoplastic resin include polyethylene, polypropylene, cyanoacrylate, polyethylene terephthalate, vinyl chloride, polystyrene, ABS resin, acrylic resin, polyamide, polycarbonate, ethylene tetrafluoride, and ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer. Non-forming polymers such as ethylene-acrylate copolymers and ethylene-acrylic acid ester copolymers, or even crystalline polymers with low crystallinity grade resins become transparent or translucent and do not interfere with the transmission of irradiating ultraviolet rays. It can be suitably used. Examples of the thermosetting resin include phenol resin, melamine resin, unsaturated polyester resin, and epoxy resin. Other resins that are liquid at room temperature and that cure due to moisture, heat, or volatilization of the solvent include cyanoacrylate, polyurethane resin, vinyl acetate, chloroprene, isoprene, styrene-butylene rubber, silicone rubber, and ditryl rubber. Can be mentioned.
なお、被膜材１７には、例えばオリゴマーに使用しているポリオールにソフトセグメントが導入され、硬化後の－４０℃での伸び率が、１００％以上であることが望ましい。オリゴマーとしてポリエーテル系ウレタンアクリレートを使用する場合は、ポリオールは、例えば、ポリプロピレングリコール、ポリエチレングリコール、ポリテトラメチレングリコール等のポリオールを使用することができる。ポリテトラメチレングリコールを中間ブロックとし、骨格成分として、その両末端の水酸基に、芳香族系ジイソシアネートを介して、紫外線に対して反応性を有する不飽和二重結合を有するヒドロキシ化合物を結合させたオリゴマーを使用することが好ましい。使用するオリゴマーは、重量平均分子量が５００～５０００のものを使用することが好ましく、２０００～５０００のものを使用することが特に好ましい。これにより、低温での伸びを維持することができ、このようにすることで、耐サーマルショック性を確保することができる。 It is desirable that the coating material 17 has a soft segment introduced into the polyol used for the oligomer, for example, and the elongation rate at −40 ° C. after curing is 100% or more. When a polyether urethane acrylate is used as the oligomer, a polyol such as polypropylene glycol, polyethylene glycol, or polytetramethylene glycol can be used as the polyol. An oligomer in which polytetramethylene glycol is used as an intermediate block, and a hydroxy compound having an unsaturated double bond reactive with ultraviolet rays is bonded to the hydroxyl groups at both ends thereof as a skeleton component via an aromatic diisocyanate. It is preferable to use. As the oligomer to be used, those having a weight average molecular weight of 500 to 5000 are preferably used, and those having a weight average molecular weight of 2000 to 5000 are particularly preferable. Thereby, the elongation at a low temperature can be maintained, and by doing so, the thermal shock resistance can be ensured.
次に、端子付き電線１０の製造方法について説明する。まず、被覆導線１１と端子１とを圧着により接続する。次に、少なくとも、バレル間部８から導線圧着部７までの導線１３が露出する部位に、前述したような光反応開始剤を含む被膜材１７を塗布する。次に、例えば被膜材１７が紫外線硬化樹脂である場合には、被膜材１７へ紫外線を照射して被膜材１７を硬化させる。その後、被膜材１７に紫外線を照射し、発生した蛍光の強度を集光レンズで集光し、センサによって測定することで被膜材１７の膜厚を判断する。被膜材１７の厚みが十分であれば合格品として判断する。以上により、端子付き電線１０を得ることができる。 Next, a method of manufacturing the electric wire 10 with a terminal will be described. First, the coated conductor wire 11 and the terminal 1 are connected by crimping. Next, at least the portion from the barrel inter-barrel portion 8 to the conductor crimping portion 7 where the conductor wire 13 is exposed is coated with the coating material 17 containing the photoreaction initiator as described above. Next, for example, when the coating material 17 is an ultraviolet curable resin, the coating material 17 is irradiated with ultraviolet rays to cure the coating material 17. After that, the film thickness of the film material 17 is determined by irradiating the film material 17 with ultraviolet rays, condensing the generated fluorescence intensity with a condenser lens, and measuring the film thickness with a sensor. If the thickness of the coating material 17 is sufficient, it is judged as a passing product. From the above, the electric wire 10 with a terminal can be obtained.
なお、被膜材１７の硬化の際の紫外線照射工程と、被膜材１７の厚みを測定する際の紫外線照射工程とは同一工程としてもよいが、紫外線硬化工程後、必要に応じて端子の位置補正を行い、その後に膜厚検査を行ってもよい。すなわち、膜厚検査工程における紫外線照射と、硬化工程における紫外線照射とは別装置および別工程で行われてもよい。 The ultraviolet irradiation step when curing the coating material 17 and the ultraviolet irradiation step when measuring the thickness of the coating material 17 may be the same process, but after the ultraviolet curing step, the position of the terminal is corrected as necessary. And then the film thickness inspection may be performed. That is, the ultraviolet irradiation in the film thickness inspection step and the ultraviolet irradiation in the curing step may be performed by a separate device and a separate process.
以上説明したように、本実施形態によれば、端子付き電線の防食を行うための被膜材１７に光反応開始剤が添加されるため、被膜材１７を塗布して硬化した後に、紫外線を照射することで、容易に精度良く膜厚を測定することができる。このため、防食性能に対して信頼性の高い端子付き電線１０を得ることができる。 As described above, according to the present embodiment, since the photoreaction initiator is added to the coating material 17 for preventing corrosion of the electric wire with terminals, the coating material 17 is applied and cured, and then irradiated with ultraviolet rays. By doing so, the film thickness can be easily and accurately measured. Therefore, it is possible to obtain the electric wire 10 with a terminal which is highly reliable in terms of anticorrosion performance.
特に、光反応開始剤の波長３６５ｎｍにおける吸光係数が８０ｍｌ/ｇ ｃｍ ｉｎ ＭｅＯＨ以上であれば、発生する蛍光強度が十分であるために、精度良く、蛍光強度から膜厚を計算することができる。また、吸光係数が高いため、３％以下の少ない添加量とすることができるため、硬化時の紫外線照射の際にも紫外線が光反応開始剤で吸収されにくく、深部硬化性にも優れる。このため、防食性の高い防食構造を得ることができる。 In particular, when the extinction coefficient of the photoreaction initiator at a wavelength of 365 nm is 80 ml / g cm in MeOH or more, the generated fluorescence intensity is sufficient, so that the film thickness can be calculated accurately from the fluorescence intensity. Further, since the absorption coefficient is high, the addition amount can be as small as 3% or less, so that the ultraviolet rays are not easily absorbed by the photoreaction initiator even when the ultraviolet rays are irradiated at the time of curing, and the deep curing property is also excellent. Therefore, it is possible to obtain an anticorrosion structure having high anticorrosion properties.
また、硬化後の－４０℃の伸びが１００％以上であれば、低温時における割れ等を抑制することができる。 Further, if the elongation at −40 ° C. after curing is 100% or more, cracking or the like at low temperature can be suppressed.
なお、本実施形態においては、被覆対象部材が、被覆導線１１と端子１とが接続される端子付き電線１０であり、被膜材１７が、被覆対象部材である端子付き電線１０に塗布されて硬化する例について説明したが、本発明はこれに限られない。防食や保護のために樹脂皮膜を形成し、その被膜厚みを判断する必要があるような被覆対象部材であれば、被膜材１７は、その他の分野にも利用可能である。例えば、光ファイバの被覆工程、電子部品や光ピックアップの樹脂塗布工程、プリントレジスト硬化工程、各種部材の貼り合せ時における樹脂塗布工程など、被覆対象部材に樹脂を塗布する工程であれば、いずれの分野でも利用可能である。特に、被覆対象部材が溝部を有し、被膜材１７を溝部に浸透させて硬化させた構造の場合は、深部硬化性に優れた被膜材１７とすることで、防食性や防水性に優れた被膜構造を得ることができる。 In the present embodiment, the member to be covered is the electric wire 10 with a terminal to which the coated conductor 11 and the terminal 1 are connected, and the coating material 17 is applied to the electric wire 10 with a terminal to be a member to be covered and cured. However, the present invention is not limited to this. The coating material 17 can also be used in other fields as long as it is a covering target member in which a resin film is formed for corrosion protection and protection and it is necessary to determine the coating thickness thereof. For example, any of the processes for applying resin to the member to be coated, such as an optical fiber coating process, a resin coating process for electronic parts and optical pickups, a print resist curing process, and a resin coating process when bonding various members. It is also available in the field. In particular, in the case where the member to be covered has a groove and the coating material 17 is infiltrated into the groove and cured, the coating material 17 having excellent deep curability is excellent in corrosion resistance and waterproofness. A coating structure can be obtained.
各種の被膜材を用いて、蛍光強度検査の可否と深部硬化性について評価した。各種条件および結果を表１、表２に示す。 Using various coating materials, the feasibility of the fluorescence intensity test and the deep curability were evaluated. Various conditions and results are shown in Tables 1 and 2.
実施例１～実施例４および比較例１～比較例４は、いずれも光反応開始剤を1種のみ添加したものであり、実施例５～実施例７は、２種の光反応開始剤を混合して添加したものである。光反応開始剤としては、実施例７のカヤキュアＤＥＴＸ－Ｓのみが日本化薬社製の商品名であり、その他は全てＢＡＳＦ社製の商品名である。 In Examples 1 to 4 and Comparative Examples 1 to 4, only one type of photoreaction initiator was added, and in Examples 5 to 7, two types of photoreaction initiators were added. It is a mixture and added. As the photoreaction initiator, only KayaCure DETX-S of Example 7 is a trade name manufactured by Nippon Kayaku Co., Ltd., and all others are trade names manufactured by BASF Co., Ltd.
蛍光度強度検査は、同じ樹脂を用いて作成した膜厚既知のサンプルを作成し、蛍光強度と膜厚の検量線を作成して、測定可能な最小膜厚を評価した。５０μｍの膜厚を測定可能であったものを「○」評価とし、５０μｍの膜厚を測定できなかったものを「×」評価とした。なお、比較例４のみ、蛍光強度による膜厚測定ではなく、反射光による測定とした。すなわち、樹脂を用いて作成した膜厚既知のサンプルを作成し、反射光強度（明度）と膜厚の検量線を作成して、測定可能な最小膜厚を評価した（特開２０１２－２０９０５１号公報参照）。 In the fluorescence intensity test, a sample having a known film thickness prepared using the same resin was prepared, and a calibration curve of the fluorescence intensity and the film thickness was prepared to evaluate the minimum measurable film thickness. Those that could measure the film thickness of 50 μm were evaluated as “◯”, and those that could not measure the film thickness of 50 μm were evaluated as “x”. Only in Comparative Example 4, the measurement was performed by the reflected light, not by the film thickness measurement by the fluorescence intensity. That is, a sample having a known film thickness prepared using a resin was prepared, a calibration curve of the reflected light intensity (brightness) and the film thickness was prepared, and the minimum measurable film thickness was evaluated (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2012-209051). See publication).
また、深部硬化性は、図３（ａ）に示した測定治具１９を用いて評価した。なお、図３（ａ）は測定治具１９を示す平面図であり、図３（ｂ）は図３（ａ）のＥ－Ｅ線断面図である。 Further, the deep curability was evaluated using the measuring jig 19 shown in FIG. 3 (a). 3A is a plan view showing the measuring jig 19, and FIG. 3B is a sectional view taken along line EE of FIG. 3A.
測定治具１９は、アルミニウム製であり、中央部に所定の深さの穴２１が形成される。穴２１の下端からは穴２１の同一幅の間隙２５が長手方向に向けて形成される。なお、穴２１の径は１ｍｍφとし、穴２１の深さ（図３（ｂ）のＦ）は、１ｍｍとし、間隙２５の高さ（図３（ｂ）のＧ）は、１００μｍとした。 The measuring jig 19 is made of aluminum, and a hole 21 having a predetermined depth is formed in the central portion. From the lower end of the hole 21, a gap 25 having the same width as the hole 21 is formed in the longitudinal direction. The diameter of the hole 21 was 1 mmφ, the depth of the hole 21 (F in FIG. 3B) was 1 mm, and the height of the gap 25 (G in FIG. 3B) was 100 μm.
穴２１および間隙２５に被膜材１７を充填し、穴２１の上方からＬＥＤ２３によって紫外線を照射した（図３（ｂ）矢印Ｈ）。ＬＥＤ２３で照射する紫外線は、波長３６５ｎｍであって、１０００ｍＷ／ｃｍ２とした。また、照射時間は１０秒とした。 The hole 21 and the gap 25 were filled with the coating material 17, and ultraviolet rays were irradiated from above the hole 21 by the LED 23 (arrow H in FIG. 3B). The ultraviolet rays irradiated by the LED 23 had a wavelength of 365 nm and were set to 1000 mW / cm 2 . The irradiation time was 10 seconds.
ＬＥＤ２３によって紫外線を照射した後、測定治具１９を分解して洗浄し、残った硬化物の距離（図中矢印Ｉであって、硬化物の長さから穴２１の径を除いた距離）を深部硬化性として測定した。深部硬化性は、２ｍｍ以上を「◎」とし、１ｍｍ以上２ｍｍ未満を「○」とし、０．１ｍｍ以上１ｍｍ未満を「△」とし、０．１ｍｍ未満を「×」とした。 After irradiating ultraviolet rays with the LED 23, the measuring jig 19 is disassembled and washed, and the distance of the remaining cured product (the distance indicated by the arrow I in the figure, excluding the diameter of the hole 21 from the length of the cured product) is determined. It was measured as deep curability. The deep curability was “⊚” for 2 mm or more, “◯” for 1 mm or more and less than 2 mm, “Δ” for 0.1 mm or more and less than 1 mm, and “x” for less than 0.1 mm.
なお、被膜材１７の材質としては、硬化後の－４０℃の引張破断伸びが１００％以上であることが望ましい。硬化後の－４０℃での引張破断伸びは、２００μｍ厚さの被膜材を用いて、ＪＩＳＫ６２５１に準じて硬化後の－４０℃における引張破断伸びを測定することで得ることができる。２００μｍ厚さの被膜材は、硬化前の液状の被膜材を、基材に均一に塗布し、紫外線照射して２００μｍの厚さとなるように被膜材を調整することで得ることができる。照射する紫外線は、波長３６５ｎｍであって、照度は１０００ｍＷ／ｃｍ２とした。また、照射時間は１０秒とした。この結果、詳細は割愛するが、実施例１～７および比較例１～４のいずれも、－４０℃の引張破断伸びが１００％以上であった。 As the material of the coating material 17, it is desirable that the tensile elongation at break at −40 ° C. after curing is 100% or more. The tensile elongation at break at -40 ° C after curing can be obtained by measuring the tensile elongation at -40 ° C after curing according to JIS K6251 using a coating material having a thickness of 200 μm. The coating material having a thickness of 200 μm can be obtained by uniformly applying the liquid coating material before curing to the substrate and irradiating with ultraviolet rays to adjust the coating material so as to have a thickness of 200 μm. The ultraviolet rays to be irradiated had a wavelength of 365 nm and an illuminance of 1000 mW / cm 2 . The irradiation time was 10 seconds. As a result, although details are omitted, in each of Examples 1 to 7 and Comparative Examples 1 to 4, the tensile elongation at break at −40 ° C. was 100% or more.
結果より、実施例１～７は、いずれも蛍光強度検査が○評価であった。これは、光反応開始剤の吸光係数が高いためである。また、実施例１～７は、いずれも深部硬化性が△以上であった。これは、光反応開始剤の添加量が少ないため、硬化時に照射した光が、光反応開始剤で吸収される量が少なかったためである。 From the results, in all of Examples 1 to 7, the fluorescence intensity test was evaluated as ◯. This is because the photoreaction initiator has a high extinction coefficient. Further, in all of Examples 1 to 7, the deep curability was Δ or higher. This is because the amount of the photoreaction initiator added is small, so that the amount of light irradiated during curing is absorbed by the photoreaction initiator.
特に、２種の光反応開始剤を混合した実施例５～実施例７は、フォトブリーチングによって、紫外線硬化後には、光反応開始剤が光を吸収しなくなるため、より深部まで光が行き届くようになり、深部硬化性は全て◎評価となった。 In particular, in Examples 5 to 7 in which the two types of photoreaction initiators are mixed, the photoreaction initiator does not absorb light after UV curing due to photobleaching, so that the light reaches deeper. The deep curability was all evaluated as ◎.
一方、比較例１、比較例２は、光反応開始剤の添加量が多いため、紫外線硬化時において光反応開始剤によって紫外線が吸光されて、深部まで紫外線が十分に透過せず、深部硬化性が×となった。 On the other hand, in Comparative Example 1 and Comparative Example 2, since the amount of the photoreaction initiator added is large, the ultraviolet rays are absorbed by the photoreaction initiator at the time of ultraviolet curing, and the ultraviolet rays are not sufficiently transmitted to the deep part, so that the deep curable property is obtained. Became x.
また、比較例３は、吸光係数が低いため、蛍光強度検査において蛍光の強度が弱く、薄い膜厚を精度良く測定することができずに、蛍光強度検査が×となった。 Further, in Comparative Example 3, since the absorption coefficient was low, the fluorescence intensity was weak in the fluorescence intensity test, and the thin film thickness could not be measured accurately, and the fluorescence intensity test was marked with x.
また、比較例４は、反射光を利用した膜厚測定であり、外乱の影響から、薄い膜厚を精度良く測定することができずに、蛍光強度検査が×となった。 Further, Comparative Example 4 was a film thickness measurement using reflected light, and the thin film thickness could not be measured accurately due to the influence of disturbance, and the fluorescence intensity test was marked with x.
