`
`Description
`
`{Detailed description of the invention]
`
`This invention relates to a method of mounting 4 movable member, such as 4 (Nk.
`
`Canventionally, a mounting member 17 for supporting a movable member 10 as shown
`
`in FIG.
`1
`is formed in a U-shape so as to hold the movable member 10 therebetween.
`Protrucding portions 12,12 are formed on opposite side surfaces of the first and second
`
`side surfaces, respectively, and protrude inwardly. The projection 12,12 is inserted into
`the through hole 13 of the movable member 10 to form a pivot.
`
`in practice, the mavable member 10 is interposed in both side surfaces thereof, and the
`projecting portion 12,12 js formed by a punch or the hke from the outside of each side
`
`

`

`surface facing the through hele 13 of the member 10, and is pivotally supported, However,
`
`such 6 method is very smail, for example, when the diameter of the through hole 13 of
`
`the movable member 10 is t or less, as i the conventional jink device, and thus has the
`
`follawing drawbacks.
`
`in-oiher words, the pasitioning of the projection 12,12 and the through-hole 13 is difficult,
`
`so that the movable member 10 cannot be moved or is not smoothly moved. Moreover,
`
`When the thickness of gach of the members 10,71 is equal to or less than 7 as in the
`
`case of the through-hole 15, since the depth of insertion of the pratrusion 12.172 into the
`
`through-hole 13 is also a microarder, the reliability is low simply by projecting the member
`by an external force.
`in ather words,
`if the insertian depth of the projection 12,12 is
`
`increased to increase the reliability, an unnecessary load is applied ta the movement of
`
`ihe movable member 70, and conversely, if the insertion depth is decreased, the suppor
`of the movable member 10 is weakened.
`
`itis an object of the present invention to provide a movable member mounting method
`
`which eliminates such a drawback that a projecting portion formed on a mounting
`member is welded io increase reliability, and that a welding state of the projecting portion
`
`is captured as a change ijn. the resistance value, whereby a movable member can be
`
`mounted more reliably.
`
`Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention wil be described with reference to
`
`FIG. 2.
`
`Reference numeral 20 denotes a movable member having a through hole 21, and 22
`
`denotes a U-shaped mounting member having a projecting portion 23,23 on the opposite
`
`side. The projection 22 of the mounting member 22 may be formed in advance or may
`
`be formed by an external force after the movable member 20 is disposed between the
`
`side surfaces. The depih of insertion of the projection 23,23 into the thraugh-hole 27 is
`
`reduced to such an extent that the movable member 20 does not separate from the
`
`mounting member 22.
`in this way, the integrated members 20,22 are arranged on an appropriate base, and the
`
`laser beam 25 focused by the condenserfens 24 is Hradiated on one of the protrusions
`
`2a, and the both protrusions 23,23 are welded. This welding operation with the laser
`
`beam 25 has an advantage thai it can be performed in a non-contact manner and the
`processing me can be completed in the order of msec. Further, adjustment of the
`
`machining point, adjustment of the machining energy, and the like can be extremely
`
`easily performed by an optical system, and thus, there is also an advaniage in that
`
`automation, saving of labor, and the like can be achieved. As a matter of course, as
`
`

`

`compared with a case where 3 projection portion formed by an external force is used as
`
`4 pivot, it is possible to make it possible to perform the role of a pivot shaft,
`
`Both terminals of the measuring instrument 26 for measuring the low resistance value
`
`are connected tc the opposite side surfaces of the mounting member 22. 1 is. possible to
`
`detect the welding Siate of the projection 23,23 by using the meter 26. in other words, as
`
`shown in FIG. 4, the resistance value before welding indicates the total resistance vaiue
`
`of the mounting member 22, and after welding, the resistance value indicates the parallel
`
`resistance value of the welded portion 23,23. The resistance value after the welding is
`approximately 4/2 or lessof that before welding.
`
`in this way, according to the present invention, after the movable member 20 is
`temporarily fixed by the projection portion 23,23, itis possible to easily and rellably weld
`
`the projection portion 23,23 by irradiating the laser beam 25 while observing the change
`
`in the resistance value of the meter 26. Referring now to FiG. 3, an embodied apparatus
`for carrying out the method of the present invention will be described.
`
`Reference numeral 31 denotes an XY table on which the temporarily fixed member 20,22
`
`is placed. A laser oscillator 32 that emits a laser beam 25 through a condenser lens 24
`
`is disposed abovethe table 31. Between the oscillator 32 and the condenser jens 24,
`
`there is interposed 4 dichroic mirror 34 for guiding the reflected fight fram the surface of
`
`the member 22 to the optical system 33. Further, the oscillator 32 ts connected to a laser
`power source 35.
`
`Further, at a position deviated from thelaser beam 25 irradiation position of the member
`
`22, the terminals 26 a and 26 b of the meter 26 are connected. The meter 26 is connected
`
`to a control unit 36 connected to the laser power supply 35, The control unit 36 controls
`
`the laser power Supply 35 in response to an output change from the meter 26. That is,
`
`as shown in FIG. 4, when the resistance value falls down to a predetermined value, the
`
`laser power supply 35 is stopped to stop the irradiation of the laser light 25. Further, the
`
`output of the control unit 35 is also supplied to the XY table 31 se that the irradiation
`
`position of the laser beam 25 can be adjusted.
`Now, the integrated member 20,22 is placed on the XY table 31. Then, the X¥ table 34
`
`is operated to position the projection 23 of the member 22 on the optical axis of the laser
`
`heam 25. This adjustment seesthe observation optical device 33.
`
`““.. the racolummi-- .
`
`ina state where 4projection 23 is pasitioned on an optical axis,
`
`both terminals 26 a, 26 b of the meter 26 are connected to 2 positions of a member 22,
`
`and then a laser oscillator 32 is driven by the laser power Supply 35. The laser bear 25
`
`emitted from the oscillator 32 passes through the dichroic mirror 34, is condensed by the
`
`

`

`condenser lens 24, andis irradiated on the projection partion 23 of the member 22. Then,
`
`one of the projecting portions 23 irradiated with the laser beam 25 is melted and weided
`
`to the other projecting portion 23.
`
`On the other hand, the output of the meter 26 is changed as shown in FIG. 4 by welding
`
`the projection 23, and is supplied to the control unit 36. Then, the control unit 36 stops
`the Jaser power supply unit 35 and stops the emission of the laser light 28 Therefore,it
`
`is not necessary to furtherirradiate the laser bear 25 after welding and to unnecessarily
`
`melt the other projection portion 23 to thereby deteriorate the welding state therebetween,
`Further, the contro! unit $6 operates the XY table 37 so as ta remove the completely
`
`integrated members 20,22 from the laser beam axis. By adjusting the relative position of
`the member 20.22 and the laser beam 25 in this way, it is also possible to arrange the
`
`member 20,22 continuously on the moving belt and to sequentially position the member
`
`on the laser beam axis, At ihis time,itis alsa possible to predetermine the output change
`value of the meter 26 and to defermine whether or nat the welding state is good
`
`simultaneously with the oscillation stop and the position adjustment in other words,
`
`when the predetermined value is not reached, the laser light 25 can be further irradiated
`
`of rejected as a defective product. Of course,it is possible to supply a signal for starting
`
`the laser power supply 35 again after adjusting the position, |. e., after the new member
`
`20,22 has been positioned on the laser beam axis of the contro! unit 36.
`As described in the description of the prior art, this method is particularly suitable for
`
`mounting small members, so that the welding operation can be completed by 7 pulses
`
`of laser light 25. Therefore,
`
`it
`
`is possible to continuously and reliably perform the
`
`mounting work of the movable member whie determining whether or not the welding
`
`state is good by the meter 26.
`
`Note that, although a U-shaped configuration has been described as the mounting
`
`member 22, tis also possible to use, for example, a pair of 1 members each having a
`
`protruding portion, and the movable member is attached by inserting both projecting
`
`portions of the memberinto the through hole 21 of the movable member 20 and welding
`the projecting portion. Further, the present invention is not limited to the method of
`
`attaching the link, and it is needless to Say that the present invention is sufficiently
`
`effective as a method of attaching the other movable member.
`
`According to the present invention, since the movable member is atlached by welding
`by the laser beam while measuring the change in the resistance value of the mounting
`
`member in this way,
`
`it
`
`is passible to reliably attach the movable member without
`
`unnecessarily applying an unnecessary foad to the movement of the movable member
`
`or the support of the movable member. Further, it is possible to reduce the working time
`
`

`

`and labor and save Jabor and jabor, and to provide a production process with high yield.
