On the other hand, in the horn 41 of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 3B, the tip portion 41a is formed in a spherical shape including a hemisphere. As a result, the tip 41a of the horn 41 can be brought into contact with the welded joint Wp of the object to be joined from an oblique direction, so that the welded joint Wp of the two objects W1 and W2 is complicated.

続いて、本発明の振動溶着システム1を用いた被接合物W1及びW2の溶着接合について説明する。
まず、任意の固定手段によって、被接合物W1及びW2を、被接合物W1及びW2それぞれの所望の溶着接合部Wpを重ね合わせた状態で固定する。
5A and 5B are explanatory views showing a working state of the vibration welding system of the present invention, FIG. 5A is an explanatory view showing a state in which the holding surface of the anvil is closed, and FIG. 5B is an explanatory view showing the holding of the anvil. It is a side view which shows the state which the surface is spread out.
Subsequently, the welding and joining of the objects to be welded W1 and W2 using the vibration welding system 1 of the present invention will be described.
First, the objects to be joined W1 and W2 are fixed by any fixing means in a state where the desired welded joints Wp of the objects to be joined W1 and W2 are overlapped with each other.

次に、アンビル側ロボット3が、図5(a)に示すように、被接合物W1の溶着接合部Wpに、被接合物W2と接していない側から閉じた状態のアンビル7の扇形保持面10bを接触させて被接合物W1及びW2を保持する。被接合物W1及びW2の保持には、溶着接合部Wpの形状、位置等によって中央保持面10aを用いても良い。このとき、被接合物W1へのアンビル7の接触圧は、アンビル側ロボット3に設けられた力センサ9によって計測され、1軸スライダ8及びアンビル側ロボット3の少なくとも何れかによってアンビル7を被接合物W1に対して進退させることで、所定の圧力を維持するように調整される。また、図5(b)に示すように、アンビル7の保持面10の形状を変化させることで、被接合物W1及びW2の形状、アンビル側ロボット3の姿勢等に合わせて、被接合物W1及びW2の保持を柔軟に行うことができる。
そして、被接合物W2の溶着接合部Wpであってアンビル7に保持された部位に、被接合物W2の被接合物W1と接していない側から、ホーン側ロボット2が、ホーン41の先端部41aを当接させる。このとき、被接合物W2へのホーン41の当接圧は、ホーン側ロボット2に設けられた力センサ6によって計測され、1軸スライダ43及びホーン側ロボット2の少なくとも何れかによってホーン41を被接合物W2に対して進退させることで、所定の圧力を維持するように調整される。
また、アンビル側ロボット3の力センサ9及びホーン側ロボット2の力センサ6によって、アンビル7の被接合物W1への接触圧及びホーン41の被接合物W2への当接圧を計測し、各1軸スライダ8,43によって各圧力を調整することで、アンビル側ロボット3、ホーン側ロボット2、振動溶着機42、ホーン41及びアンビル7に過剰な力が加わって破損することを防止できる。
そして、ホーン側ロボット2は、ホーンユニット40の振動溶着機42によりホーン41に超音波振動を生じさせ、これにより、溶着接合部Wp内の被接合物W1及びW2のホーン41が当接している部位近傍を振動加熱する加熱処理を行う。
Next, as shown in FIG. 5A, the anvil-side robot 3 has a fan-shaped holding surface of the anvil 7 in a state of being closed to the welded joint Wp of the object to be joined W1 from the side not in contact with the object W2. The objects W1 and W2 to be joined are held in contact with 10b. For holding the objects to be joined W1 and W2, the central holding surface 10a may be used depending on the shape, position and the like of the welded joint Wp. At this time, the contact pressure of the anvil 7 to the object to be joined W1 is measured by a force sensor 9 provided on the anvil side robot 3, and the anvil 7 is joined by at least one of the 1-axis slider 8 and the anvil side robot 3. By advancing and retreating with respect to the object W1, it is adjusted to maintain a predetermined pressure. Further, as shown in FIG. 5B, by changing the shape of the holding surface 10 of the anvil 7, the object to be joined W1 is matched with the shapes of the objects to be joined W1 and W2, the posture of the robot 3 on the anvil side, and the like. And W2 can be flexibly held.
Then, from the side of the welded object W2 that is not in contact with the welded object W1 of the object to be joined W2, the horn-side robot 2 is at the tip of the horn 41 at the portion held by the anvil 7 in the welded joint portion Wp of the object to be joined W2. The 41a is brought into contact with it. At this time, the contact pressure of the horn 41 with the object to be joined W2 is measured by a force sensor 6 provided on the horn-side robot 2, and the horn 41 is covered by at least one of the uniaxial slider 43 and the horn-side robot 2. By advancing and retreating with respect to the joint W2, it is adjusted to maintain a predetermined pressure.
Further, the contact pressure of the anvil 7 with respect to the object W1 and the contact pressure of the horn 41 with the object W2 are measured by the force sensor 9 of the anvil-side robot 3 and the force sensor 6 of the horn-side robot 2, respectively. By adjusting each pressure with the uniaxial sliders 8 and 43, it is possible to prevent the anvil-side robot 3, the horn-side robot 2, the vibration welding machine 42, the horn 41, and the anvil 7 from being damaged by applying an excessive force.
Then, the horn-side robot 2 causes ultrasonic vibration in the horn 41 by the vibration welding machine 42 of the horn unit 40, whereby the horns 41 of the objects to be welded W1 and W2 in the welded joint Wp are in contact with each other. A heat treatment is performed to vibrate and heat the vicinity of the site.

振動溶着システム1による被接合物W1及びW2の溶着接合は、溶着接合部Wpの範囲内をホーン41とアンビル7とを所定の軌道で移動させながら連続的に上記の加熱処理を行うことで実施される。
以下、加熱処理を、ホーン41とアンビル7とを図5(a)に矢印で示す方向へ移動させて行う場合について詳説する。
The welding of the objects W1 and W2 to be welded by the vibration welding system 1 is carried out by continuously performing the above heat treatment while moving the horn 41 and the anvil 7 in a predetermined orbit within the range of the welding junction Wp. Will be done.
Hereinafter, the case where the heat treatment is performed by moving the horn 41 and the anvil 7 in the direction indicated by the arrow in FIG. 5A will be described in detail.

ホーン側ロボット2は、被接合物W2にホーン41を一定圧力で当接させたまま、図5に矢印で示す方向へホーン41を移動させる。
一方、アンビル側ロボット3は、被接合物W1にアンビル7を一定圧力で接触させ、被接合物W1及びW2を保持したまま、図5に矢印で示す方向へアンビル7を移動させる。溶着接合は、振動加熱による被接合物同士の接触表面の軟化に伴って被接合物間での融合結合が生じ、一定の冷却期間を経て、融合結合した被接合物同士が硬化・安定化することで実現する。そのため、アンビル7は、被接合物W1及びW2への加熱処理が行われてホーン41が移動した後も、被接合物W1及びW2が硬化・安定化するまで、それらの保持を継続する必要がある。従って、アンビル7は、ホーン41の移動に追従すると共に、ホーン41による振動加熱に伴う被接合物W1及びW2の溶着接合が完了するまでの間、ホーン41の移動に合わせて揺動しながら被接合物W1及びW2の保持を継続し、被接合物W1及びW2の溶着接合が完了後、ホーン41に追従してアンビル7が移動する。この時、被接合物W1及びW2の材質、形状等によって、ホーン41及びアンビル7の移動速度の調整が必要となる。また、アンビル7は、図5(b)に示すように、保持面10の形状が可変であるため、ホーン41及びアンビル7の移動速度、及び生産性を鑑み、加熱処理後の被接合物W1及びW2が硬化・安定化するために必要な時間によって保持面10の形状を変化させることで、柔軟な対応が可能となる。
このように、被接合物W1及びW2の溶着接合部Wpの範囲内をホーン41とアンビル7とを所定の軌道で移動させながら連続的に加熱処理を行う振動溶着工程によって、振動溶着システム1による被接合物W1及びW2の溶着接合は実施される。
The horn-side robot 2 moves the horn 41 in the direction indicated by the arrow in FIG. 5 while keeping the horn 41 in contact with the object W2 at a constant pressure.
On the other hand, the anvil-side robot 3 brings the anvil 7 into contact with the object W1 at a constant pressure, and moves the anvil 7 in the direction indicated by the arrow in FIG. 5 while holding the objects W1 and W2. In welding bonding, fusion bonding occurs between the objects to be welded as the contact surface between the objects to be welded softens due to vibration heating, and after a certain cooling period, the fused and bonded objects are cured and stabilized. It will be realized by that. Therefore, it is necessary for the anvil 7 to continue holding the objects W1 and W2 until the objects W1 and W2 are hardened and stabilized even after the horn 41 is moved after the heat treatment is applied to the objects W1 and W2. be. Therefore, the anvil 7 follows the movement of the horn 41 and is covered while swinging in accordance with the movement of the horn 41 until the welding and joining of the objects W1 and W2 to be welded due to the vibration heating by the horn 41 is completed. The holding of the joints W1 and W2 is continued, and after the welding of the joints W1 and W2 is completed, the anvil 7 moves following the horn 41. At this time, it is necessary to adjust the moving speeds of the horn 41 and the anvil 7 depending on the material, shape, and the like of the objects to be joined W1 and W2. Further, as shown in FIG. 5B, since the shape of the holding surface 10 of the anvil 7 is variable, the object to be joined W1 after the heat treatment is considered in consideration of the moving speed and the productivity of the horn 41 and the anvil 7. And by changing the shape of the holding surface 10 depending on the time required for the W2 to cure and stabilize, flexible response becomes possible.
As described above, the vibration welding system 1 is used by a vibration welding step in which the horn 41 and the anvil 7 are continuously heat-treated while being moved in a predetermined orbit within the range of the welding joint Wp of the objects to be welded W1 and W2. Welding of W1 and W2 to be welded is carried out.

上記形態の振動溶着システム1は、2つの被接合物W1及びW2を溶着接合するものであって、2つの被接合物W1及びW2の溶着接合部Wpを振動加熱するホーンユニット40を備えるホーン側ロボット2と、溶着接合部Wpを保持するアンビル7を備えるアンビル側ロボット3と、を備え、ホーンユニット40は、棒状のホーン41を備え、アンビル7は、溶着接合部Wpを保持する保持面10を備え、2つの被接合物W1及びW2を合わせた状態で、アンビル側ロボット3が、溶着接合部Wpを2つの被接合物W1及びW2の被接合物W1側から保持面10で保持すると共に、ホーン側ロボット2が、溶着接合部Wpに2つの被接合物W1及びW2の被接合物W2側からホーン41を当接させて、ホーンユニット40によりホーン41を振動させて溶着接合部Wpを振動加熱する加熱処理を行い、ホーン側ロボット2とアンビル側ロボット3とが、ホーン41とアンビル7とを、2つの被接合物W1及びW2上を移動させながら加熱処理を行う。
このようにして構成される振動溶着システム1によれば、ホーン側ロボット2及びアンビル側ロボット3の一対のロボットによってホーン41及びアンビル7を移動させながら連続的に振動溶着を実施することで、従来必要であったワーク毎に異なる専用のアンビルが不要となり、製造コストの削減が可能となる。
The vibration welding system 1 of the above embodiment is for welding and joining two welded objects W1 and W2, and is a horn side provided with a horn unit 40 that vibrates and heats the welded junction Wp of the two welded objects W1 and W2. A robot 2 and an anvil-side robot 3 having an anvil 7 for holding the welded joint Wp are provided, the horn unit 40 is provided with a rod-shaped horn 41, and the anvil 7 is a holding surface 10 for holding the welded joint Wp. The anvil-side robot 3 holds the welded joint Wp from the side of the two welds W1 and W2 on the holding surface 10 in a state where the two welds W1 and W2 are combined. The horn-side robot 2 abuts the horn 41 on the welded joint Wp from the side of the two welded objects W1 and W2, and vibrates the horn 41 by the horn unit 40 to generate the welded joint Wp. The heat treatment is performed by vibration heating, and the horn side robot 2 and the anvil side robot 3 perform the heat treatment while moving the horn 41 and the anvil 7 on the two welded objects W1 and W2.
According to the vibration welding system 1 configured in this way, a pair of robots of the horn side robot 2 and the anvil side robot 3 continuously perform vibration welding while moving the horn 41 and the anvil 7. It is possible to reduce the manufacturing cost by eliminating the need for a dedicated anvil that differs for each required work.

また、ホーン41は、先端部41aが半球を含む球形状となっている。
よって、ホーン41の先端部41aを被接合物W2の溶着接合部Wpに対して斜め方向からも接触させることが可能となるため、2つの被接合物W1及びW2の溶着接合部Wpが複雑な自由曲面である場合、狭小な場合等でも、効率的に溶着接合が可能となる。
Further, the horn 41 has a spherical shape in which the tip portion 41a includes a hemisphere.
Therefore, since the tip portion 41a of the horn 41 can be brought into contact with the welded joint Wp of the object W2 from an oblique direction, the welded joint Wp of the two objects W1 and W2 is complicated. If it is a free curved surface, even if it is narrow, welding and joining can be performed efficiently.

Therefore, the contact pressure and contact pressure of the horn 41 and the anvil 7 with respect to the objects to be joined W1 and W2 can be adjusted so as to maintain a predetermined pressure. Further, it is possible to prevent the horn-side robot 2 and the anvil-side robot 3 from being damaged by applying an excessive force.

また、ホーン側ロボット2及びアンビル側ロボット3は、ホーン41及びアンビル7の2つの被接合物W1及びW2への圧力を測定する力センサ6,9を備える。
よって、被接合物W1及びW2に対するホーン41及びアンビル7の当接圧及び接触圧が、所定の圧力を維持するように調整できる。また、アンビル側ロボット3、ホーン側ロボット2、振動溶着機42、ホーン41及びアンビル7に過剰な力が加わって破損することを防止できる。
Further, the horn-side robot 2 and the anvil-side robot 3 are provided with force sensors 6 and 9 for measuring the pressures of the horn 41 and the anvil 7 on the two objects W1 and W2.
Therefore, the contact pressure and contact pressure of the horn 41 and the anvil 7 with respect to the objects to be joined W1 and W2 can be adjusted so as to maintain a predetermined pressure. Further, it is possible to prevent the anvil side robot 3, the horn side robot 2, the vibration welder 42, the horn 41 and the anvil 7 from being damaged by applying an excessive force.

また、アンビル7は、溶着接合部Wpを保持可能な保持面10の形状を変更可能である。
よって、加熱処理後の被接合物W1及びW2が硬化・安定化するために必要な時間によって保持面10の形状を変更することで、ホーン41及びアンビル7の移動速度、及び生産性に対し、柔軟な対応が可能となる。
Further, the anvil 7 can change the shape of the holding surface 10 capable of holding the welded joint Wp.
Therefore, by changing the shape of the holding surface 10 according to the time required for the objects to be joined W1 and W2 to be cured and stabilized after the heat treatment, the moving speed and productivity of the horn 41 and the anvil 7 can be improved. Flexible response is possible.

また、アンビル側ロボット3は、ホーン側ロボット2による振動加熱に伴う2つの被接合物W1及びW2の溶着接合が完了するまでの間、2つの被接合物W1及びW2を被接合物W1側から保持し、2つの被接合物W1及びW2の溶着接合が完了してからアンビル7を移動させる。
よって、連続的に振動溶着を実施しても、確実に2つの被接合物W1及びW2を溶着接合させることができる。
Further, the anvil-side robot 3 performs the two welded objects W1 and W2 from the bonded object W1 side until the welding and joining of the two welded objects W1 and W2 due to the vibration heating by the horn-side robot 2 are completed. The anvil 7 is moved after the welding of the two objects W1 and W2 to be welded is completed.
