Since the other end 20b side of the first electric wire 20 is pushed in the direction of the arrow A when the central portions of the second and the second wires 32 are in a molten state, the conductor exposed portion 22 is replenished with the conductor material corresponding to the constricted portion. As a result, as shown in FIG. 2B, the molten conductor is solidified with the constriction eliminated.

When the conductors in the electric wires 20 and 30 are single wires, the constriction is relatively small, but when the conductor is composed of a bundle of fine wires such as twisted wires, the air layer is in the conductor. Therefore, the scattering at the time of laser welding tends to be large. Therefore, in such a case, as shown in FIG. 5, the conductor exposed portion 22 is crushed by a press in advance (25 in FIG. 5 is a portion crushed by the press) to make a dense state, and then laser welding is performed.

Next, as shown in FIG. 6 (d), as a supplementary conductor, a copper plate (which may be a copper strip) 71 formed in the shape of a thin rod is drawn from the reel 72 while the tip portion 71a of the copper plate 71 is being fed. Is supplied to the upper surface position of the conductor exposed portion 22 by a delivery roll 82 driven by a motor 81.
In this case, the copper plate 71 is provided with notches 71b at its side edges at a predetermined pitch as shown in FIG. 6 (d-1), which facilitates fusing at that position. Further, since the feeding position of the copper plate 71 is diagonally above the conductor exposed portion 22 (this position does not interfere with the laser welding machine 55), the tip portion 71a of the copper plate 71 has the bending tool 7
It is bent at an angle by 5 and is positioned in parallel with the conductor exposed portion 22 arranged just horizontally. The width of the copper plate 71 is preferably equal to or less than the beam diameter of laser welding (for example, about 1 mm).

Then, the tip portion 71a of the copper plate 71 is positioned on the exposed conductor portion 22, and then the first electric wire 2 is placed thereon.
The second electric wire 30 is arranged so as to intersect with 0, and the conductor exposed portion 32 similarly provided at the intermediate portion of the second electric wire 30 is provided on the conductor exposed portion 22 of the first electric wire 20. The copper plate 71 is superposed with the tip portion 71a sandwiched therebetween. Fig. 6 (d-
2) shows the overlapping portion 40 in an enlarged manner. And
In this state, the one end 30a of the second electric wire 30 is held by the holding jig 52. Also in this case, both ends may be fixed. Next, welding is performed by irradiating a laser beam 57 toward the overlapping portion 40 from a laser welding machine 55 arranged directly above the overlapping portion 40 of the two conductor exposed portions 22 and 32.

Then, normally, when laser welding is performed, constrictions occur on both sides of the welded portion, but since the copper plate 71 is supplemented to the welded portion as an auxiliary conductor during welding, a sufficient amount of molten metal is secured, The constriction will not occur and the connection strength will increase. Further, since the conductor is directly joined by the laser, it is possible to reduce the size, weight and cost of the connecting portion, as in the first embodiment.

Further, in this embodiment, the continuous copper plate 71 is used.
Since the tip portion 71a of the copper plate 71 is sent out and supplied to the welded portion 58, the amount of the copper plate 71 to be supplied at the time of one welding can be appropriately adjusted, and the copper plate 71 can be welded one after another.
Can be sent intermittently. Therefore, it is possible to flexibly deal with the case where a large number of welds of the same type or a large number of different types are performed, and the copper plate 71 can be easily supplied.

Further, since the tip end portion 71a of the copper plate 71 is bent obliquely and the tip end portion 71a which is bent obliquely is made to extend substantially parallel to the conductor exposed portion 22, the position of the feeding mechanism of the copper plate 71 is set as follows. It can be arranged with a margin at a position that does not interfere with the laser welding machine, and the tip portion 71a of the copper plate 71 can be supplied to the welded portion 58 at an appropriate position and in an appropriate posture. There is no risk of supply failure. Furthermore, since the tip end portion 71a of the copper plate 71 is sandwiched between the conductor exposed portions 22 and 32 of both electric wires 20 and 30, the copper plate 71 is not displaced during welding, and stable welding is possible. Further, the copper melt is spread over both conductor exposed portions 22 and 32 in good balance.

Further, the copper plate 71 is provided with a notch portion 71b so that it can be separated by a necessary amount each time welding is performed.
When the tip portion 71a of the copper plate 71 is melted in accordance with the laser welding, the tip portion 71a is automatically cut off at the position of the cutout portion 71b. Therefore, since a proper amount of copper is always supplied to the welded portion 58, it is possible to create a connection portion having a constant quality. If the separation cannot be reliably performed, the molten tip portion 71a can be reliably separated by moving the copper plate 71, for example, as shown by the arrow C.
