The present invention relates to an ultrasonic bonding how, in particular, those which relate plurality of electric wires each part of the core wires exposed by peeling the coating ultrasonic bonding how to ultrasonic bonding.

  As the conventional ultrasonic bonding method described above, for example, a method in which the ultrasonic bonding methods of Patent Documents 1 and 2 in which a plurality of core wires constituting a stranded wire are bonded to each other can be considered.

  That is, in the ultrasonic bonding method, as shown in FIG. 14, first, a part of the coating of each of the plurality of electric wires 100 is peeled to expose the core wire 101 (FIG. 14A). Next, the entire core wire 101 of the plurality of electric wires 100 is sandwiched between a pair of molds 201 and 202 and a pair of molds 203 and 204 (FIG. 14B). An ultrasonic transducer 300 is attached to the mold 201.

Next, the pair of molds 201 are moved to pressurize the plurality of core wires 101. Then, the ultrasonic transducer 300 is ultrasonically vibrated while applying pressure to the core wire 101, and ultrasonic vibration is applied to the plurality of core wires 101 through the mold 201 (FIG. 14C). As a result, the core wires 101 are ultrasonically bonded (FIG. 14D).

Therefore, as shown in FIGS. 14C and 14D, the core wire 101 on the side of the mold 201 provided with the ultrasonic transducer 300 is in a good bonded state, but the side of the mold 202 facing the mold 201. There is a problem that the ultrasonic wave vibration is hardly applied to the core wire 101 and the bonding state is weak.

  Therefore, if strong ultrasonic vibration is applied in order to improve the bonding state of the core wire 101 on the mold 202 side, the core wire 101 on the mold 201 side where the ultrasonic transducer 300 is provided becomes excessively bonded, and the core wire is There was a problem that the wire was damaged and the wire was cut.

The plurality of joining blocks are joined by applying sonic vibration, and the joining block is a pair of the pair of wires in a state where the core wires of two wires among the wires constituting the joining block are sandwiched between the pair of molds. Ultrasonic vibration is applied to one of the molds to join the cores of the two electric wires, and the core wires of the other electric wires are placed one by one in the first joint core bundle consisting of the cores of the two joined electric wires.

According to invention of Claims 1-4, a partial coating | coated of each of several electric wires is peeled, and a core wire is exposed. Ultrasonic vibration is applied to one of the pair of molds in a state in which the core wires of the two wires among the core wires of the plurality of wires are sandwiched between the pair of molds. Thereby, two core wires are joined. Thereafter, the core wires of the other electric wires are overlapped one by one on the first bonded core wire bundle composed of the core wires of the two electric wires joined. Each time the wires are stacked one by one, the first bonded core wire bundle and the core wires of other electric wires stacked on the first bonded core wire bundle are sandwiched between a pair of molds. Further, by applying ultrasonic vibration to one of the pair of molds in a sandwiched state, the core wires of the other wires are joined to the first joining core wire bundle one by one. Therefore, all the core wires can be uniformly bonded to each other by bonding the core wires of the other electric wires one by one to the first bonded core wire bundle. In addition, the energy of ultrasonic vibration when joining the core wires one by one is less than the ultrasonic vibration energy when joining a plurality of core wires at the same time. For this reason, energy control and monitoring of ultrasonic vibration are facilitated, and damage to the bonded core wire due to ultrasonic vibration is suppressed.

Moreover, according to invention of Claim 1 , two electric wires are the two thickest core wires among the core wires of several electric wires among the core wires of several electric wires. One core wire of another electric wire is piled up to the 1st joining core wire bundle one by one in order of electric wire thickness. Therefore, by superimposing the core wires of the other electric wires one by one in the order of the thickness of the electric wires on the first bonded core wire bundle, the number of times of applying the ultrasonic vibration can be reduced as the core wire has a smaller thickness.

According to the second aspect of the present invention , in addition to the first bonded core wire bundle, the core wire thickness increases from the center to the outer side of the second bonded core wire bundle obtained by bonding all the core wires of the plurality of electric wires.

Then, the ultrasonic vibration having a larger energy than the ultrasonic vibration applied every time the core wires of the other electric wires are stacked one by one is applied. Therefore, when applying ultrasonic vibration to the core wires stacked one by one, it is possible to apply ultrasonic vibration with low energy in order to prevent strand breakage. And after joining of all the core wires of a some electric wire is complete | finished, ultrasonic vibration of a big energy is provided and core wires can be joined reliably.

The invention according to claim 6 is characterized in that ultrasonic vibration with a large energy is applied as the core wire thickness of the core wire of the one stacked electric wire becomes thicker. It exists in the ultrasonic bonding method.

According to the sixth aspect of the present invention, since the ultrasonic vibration having a large energy is applied to the thin core wire as the core wire thickness of the single electric wire is increased, the ultrasonic vibration having an excessive energy is applied to the thin core wire. It is possible to prevent the core wire from being cut. Moreover, it is possible to prevent the ultrasonic wave vibration having a small energy from being applied to the thick core wire and insufficient joining.

As described above, according to the first to fourth aspects of the present invention, since the core wires of other electric wires are joined to the first joint core wire bundle one by one, all the core wires can be uniformly joined to each other. It is possible to prevent shortage of bonding force due to insufficient bonding and wire breakage due to excessive bonding. In addition, the energy of ultrasonic vibration when joining the core wires one by one is less than the ultrasonic vibration energy when joining a plurality of core wires at the same time. For this reason, energy control and monitoring of ultrasonic vibration are facilitated, damage to the bonded core wire due to ultrasonic vibration is suppressed, and wire breakage can be reliably prevented.

Further, according to the first aspect of the invention, by superimposing one by one core wire of the other wire to thick order of cable diameter to the first bonding wire bundle, the more core thin wire thickness imparting number of the ultrasonic vibration Therefore, it is possible to prevent wire breakage more reliably.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, a thin core wire can be surrounded by a thick core wire having a strong core wire thickness, and even if a force is applied from the outside, no direct force is applied to the thin core wire. Since it does not break, it is possible to more reliably prevent the wire from being cut.

According to the third and fourth aspects of the present invention, since the core wire of one overlapping electric wire is in contact with one of a pair of molds to which ultrasonic vibration is applied, damage to the bonded core wire due to ultrasonic vibration is also caused. Since all the core wires can be more uniformly bonded to each other, it is possible to more reliably prevent insufficient bonding force due to insufficient bonding and disconnection of wires due to excessive bonding.

According to the fifth aspect of the present invention, when applying ultrasonic vibration to the core wires stacked one by one, it is possible to apply ultrasonic vibration with a small energy in order to prevent breakage of the strands. And after joining all the core wires of a plurality of electric wires, high energy ultrasonic vibration is applied and the core wires can be reliably joined to each other. It is possible to prevent wire breakage caused by .

According to the sixth aspect of the present invention, it is possible to prevent the core wire from being cut off by applying ultrasonic vibration having excessive energy to the thin core wire. Moreover, it is possible to prevent the ultrasonic wave vibration having a small energy from being applied to the thick core wire and insufficient joining.

FIG. 1 is a front view of an ultrasonic bonding apparatus used in the ultrasonic bonding method of the present invention. 2 and 3 are explanatory diagrams for explaining the procedure of the ultrasonic bonding method of the present invention in a reference example . FIG. 4 is a front view of the core wire 11 joined in the procedure shown in FIGS. FIG. 5 is a front view of the core wire 11 joined in another embodiment.

  First, the ultrasonic bonding apparatus 20 used for the ultrasonic bonding method of the present invention will be described. As shown in FIG. 1, the ultrasonic bonding apparatus 20 includes a pair of box-shaped molds 21 that sandwich and expose the exposed core wire 11 from the left-right direction Y3 in the drawing. , 22 and a pair of substantially box-shaped molds 23 and 24 sandwiching the core wire 11 from the vertical direction Y4 orthogonal to the horizontal direction Y3.

  The mold 21 described above moves in the left-right direction Y3. The mold 23 moves in the vertical direction Y4. In addition, a piezoelectric vibrator 31 serving as an ultrasonic vibration generating unit is attached to one of the molds 21 to 24 described above. Due to the ultrasonic vibration of the piezoelectric vibrator 31, the mold 23 vibrates along the left-right direction Y3 or the up-down direction Y4. The vibration of the piezoelectric vibrator 31 described above is controlled by the control circuit 30.

  The above-described mold 21 is provided to be movable in the left-right direction Y3 along the upper surface 24U of the mold 24. The mold 22 is provided so as to be movable in the vertical direction Y4 along the right side surface 24R of the mold 24. The mold 23 is provided, for example, so as to be movable in the left-right direction Y3 with respect to the mold 22 by being inserted into a through hole provided in the mold 22 in the left-right direction Y3, and is fixed in the vertical direction Y4 with respect to the mold 22. The In addition, the ultrasonic bonding apparatus 20 is in contact with the right side surface 22R of the mold 22 to fix the movement of the mold 22 in the left-right direction Y3, and the lower surface 24D of the mold 24 is in contact with the lower surface 24D of the mold 24. And a fixing means 26 for fixing the movement.

  The above-described upper surface 23U of the mold 23 is fixed to a piston 28a in a hydraulic cylinder 28 which is a moving means. When receiving a force from the piston 28a, the mold 23 moves in the vertical direction Y4 along the right side surface 24R of the mold 24 together with the mold 22 fixed to the mold 23. Further, the left side surface 21L of the mold 21 described above is fixed to a piston 29a in a hydraulic cylinder 29 which is a moving means. When receiving a force from the piston 29a, the mold 21 moves in the left-right direction Y3 along the upper side surface 24U of the mold 24.

  Reference numeral 30 denotes a control circuit (= control means). The control circuit 30 controls the hydraulic cylinders 28 and 29 and the piezoelectric vibrator 31. The ultrasonic bonding apparatus 20 includes a displacement sensor 33 that detects a movement amount of the mold 21 in the left-right direction Y3 and a displacement sensor 34 that detects a movement amount of the mold 23 in the vertical direction Y4.

  The displacement sensor 33 corresponds to, for example, a movable iron core 33a that is fixed to the left side surface 21L of the die 21 and moves with the die 21, a coil 33b wound around the movable iron core 33a, and a moving amount of the movable iron core 33a generated in the coil 33b. And a detection circuit 33c for detecting the movement amount of the mold 21 in the left-right direction Y3 from the induced voltage. Further, the displacement sensor 34 corresponds to, for example, a movable iron core 34a that is fixed to the upper surface 23U of the die 23 and moves with the die 23, a coil 34b wound around the movable iron core 34a, and a moving amount of the movable iron core 34a generated in the coil 34b. And a detection circuit 34c that detects the amount of movement of the die 23 in the vertical direction Y4 from the induced voltage. The detection results of these displacement sensors 33 and 34 are respectively supplied to the control circuit 30. As the displacement sensors 33 and 34, not only the above-described contact type displacement sensor but also other conventionally known displacement sensors such as a non-contact type may be used.

A procedure of an ultrasonic bonding method using the ultrasonic bonding apparatus 20 having the above-described configuration will be described below. In the reference example , a case will be described in which, for example , 16 electric wires 10 whose core wire thickness is R1 (see FIG. 2) are all equal are joined. In the initial state of the ultrasonic bonding apparatus 20, as shown in FIG. 1, the lower side between the mold 21 and the mold 22 is closed by the mold 24, but the upper side is opened. The mold 22 is fixed by fixing means 25 and the mold 24 is fixed by fixing means 26. First, the coating of a part of each of the 16 electric wires 10 is peeled to expose the core wire 11. The core wire thickness refers to the diameter of the core wire 11.

  Next, the control circuit 30 obtains the distance between the mold 21 and the mold 22 based on the detection result of the displacement sensor 33 that detects the movement amount of the mold 21 in the left-right direction Y3. The control circuit 30 controls the hydraulic cylinder 29 so that the distance between the mold 21 and the mold 22 becomes a predetermined distance W1 (see FIG. 2A). Note that W1 corresponds to the width in the left-right direction Y3 when the core wire 11 having a core wire thickness R1 having a circular cross section is pressed into a substantially rectangular cross section.

  Next, after inserting the core wires of two of the sixteen electric wires 10 between the die 21 and the die 22 from the upper side, they are mounted on the die 24 while being laminated in the vertical direction Y4. Next, the mold 23 is moved from right to left to close the upper side between the mold 21 and the mold 22. 2A, the core wire 11 of the two electric wires 10 is sandwiched between the pair of molds 21-22 in the left-right direction Y3 and the pair of molds 23-type 24 in the vertical direction Y4. Sandwiched between them.

  Next, the control circuit 30 controls the hydraulic cylinder 28 to apply pressure to the core wires 11 of the two electric wires 10 so that the core wires 11 of the two electric wires 10 are in close contact with each other. Specifically, the piston 28a of the hydraulic cylinder 28 is driven from the top to the bottom. When the driving force of the piston 28a is received, the above-described mold 23 moves from top to bottom along the right side surface 24R of the mold 24 together with the mold 22 fixed to the mold 23. Further, the control circuit 30 obtains the distance between the mold 23 and the mold 24 based on the detection result of the displacement sensor 34 that detects the amount of movement of the mold 23 in the vertical direction Y4. The control circuit 30 controls the hydraulic cylinder 28 so that the distance between the mold 23 and the mold 24 becomes a predetermined distance 2 × W2 (see FIG. 2B). Note that W2 corresponds to the width in the vertical direction Y4 when the core wire 11 having a circular cross section with a core wire thickness R1 is pressure-shaped into a substantially rectangular cross section.

  Thereby, the pressure which shrinks to the up-down direction Y4 with the type | molds 23 and 24 is applied to the core wire 11 of the two electric wires 10. FIG. Due to this pressure, the two core wires 11 are deformed so that the left-right direction Y3 extends and the up-down direction Y4 contracts. As a result of the extension in the left-right direction Y3 of the core wire 11, when a predetermined distance W1 that is the distance between the mold 21 and the mold 22 is exceeded, pressure is applied to the two core wires 11 by the molds 21, 22 in the left-right direction Y3. With this pressure, the core wire having a round cross section is deformed into a rectangular cross section.

  At the same time, the control circuit 30 controls the piezoelectric vibrator 31 to vibrate ultrasonically. Thereby, ultrasonic vibration is applied to the mold 23 which is one of the pair of molds 23 and 24. That is, ultrasonic vibration is applied to the core wires 11 of the two electric wires 10 through the mold 23, and the core wires 11 of the two electric wires 10 are joined to each other. Next, the control circuit 30 controls the piezoelectric vibrator 31 to stop the ultrasonic vibration and also controls the hydraulic cylinder 28 to stop the pressurization to the two core wires 11.

  Thereafter, the mold 23 is moved from left to right, and the upper side between the mold 21 and the mold 22 is opened again. Then, after one core wire 11 of another electric wire 10 is stacked on the mold 23 side of the bonded core wire bundle 12 (= first bonded core wire bundle) composed of the core wires 11 of the two electric wires 10 joined, the die 23 is moved to the right. To the left to close the upper side between the mold 21 and the mold 22. As a result, as shown in FIG. 2B, the bonding core wire bundle 12 and the vertical direction Y <b> 4 of the core wire 11 of the other electric wire 10 superimposed on the bonding core wire bundle 12 are sandwiched between the pair of molds 23 and 24. Moreover, the left-right direction Y3 of the core wire 11 of the other electric wire 10 piled up on the joining core wire bundle 12 and the joining core wire bundle 12 is sandwiched between the pair of molds 21-22.

  Next, the control circuit 30 controls the hydraulic cylinder 28 to apply pressure to the core wires 11 so that the core wires 11 sandwiched between the pair of molds 23 and 24 are in close contact with each other. Specifically, the piston 28a of the hydraulic cylinder 28 is driven from the top to the bottom. When the driving force of the piston 28a is received, the above-described mold 23 moves from top to bottom along the right side surface 24R of the mold 24 together with the mold 22 fixed to the mold 23. Further, the control circuit 30 obtains the distance between the mold 23 and the mold 24 based on the detection result of the displacement sensor 34 that detects the amount of movement of the mold 23 in the vertical direction Y4. The control circuit 30 controls the hydraulic cylinder 28 so that the distance between the mold 23 and the mold 24 becomes a predetermined distance 3 × W2 (see FIG. 2C).

  Similarly, a single core wire 11 having a circular cross section is shaped into a rectangular cross section. At the same time, the control circuit 30 controls the piezoelectric vibrator 31 to vibrate ultrasonically. Thereby, ultrasonic vibration is applied to the mold 23 which is one of the pair of molds 23 and 24. That is, ultrasonic vibration is applied to the bonded core wire bundle 12 and the core wire 11 of another electric wire 10 stacked on the bonded core wire bundle 12 through the mold 23, and the single stacked core wire 11 is bonded to the bonded core wire bundle 12. The At this time, of the core wires 11 sandwiched between the pair of molds 23-24, only one core wire 11 that is overlapped is in contact with the mold 23. For this reason, the ultrasonic energy applied to the already bonded core wire 11 is less than the ultrasonic energy applied to the newly superposed core wire 11. Next, the control circuit 30 controls the piezoelectric vibrator 31 to stop the ultrasonic vibration and also controls the hydraulic cylinder 28 to stop the pressurization to the two core wires 11.

Similarly, each time the core wires 11 of the other electric wires 10 are overlapped one by one on the mold 23 side of the core wire bundle 12 consisting of the core wires 11 of the two electric wires 10 joined, In a state where the core wire 11 of the other electric wire 10 overlapped on the bonded core wire bundle 12 is sandwiched between the pair of dies 23 and 24, ultrasonic vibration is applied to the die 23, and the core wire 11 of the other electric wire 10 is applied to the bonded core wire bundle 12. Are joined one by one (see FIGS. 2C to 2F). As a detailed stacking method, the core wires 11 of the other electric wires 10 are stacked one by one on the mold 23 side of the bonded core wire bundle 12, and when the stacking height reaches a predetermined length (4 × W2 in this reference example ) One core wire 11 of another electric wire 10 is placed on the right side in the left-right direction Y3 of the bonded core wire bundle 12 (see FIG. 2D). And it repeats repeating the core wire 11 of the other electric wire 10 one by one on the type | mold 23 side of the core wire 11 piled up in the left-right direction Y3 right side of this joining core wire bundle 12 (refer FIG.2 (e) and (f)).

  In addition, when the core wire 11 of the other electric wire 10 is overlapped on the right side in the left-right direction Y3 of the bonded core wire bundle 12, the control circuit 30 is based on the detection result of the displacement sensor 33 that detects the movement amount of the mold 21 in the left-right direction Y3. The distance between the mold 21 and the mold 22 is obtained, and the hydraulic cylinder 29 is controlled so that the distance between the mold 21 and the mold 22 becomes a predetermined distance 2 × W1 (see FIG. 2F). After that, every time the core wire 11 of another electric wire 10 is overlapped on the right side in the left-right direction Y3 of the bonded core wire bundle 12, the control circuit 30 increases the distance between the mold 21 and the mold 22 to 3 × W1 and 4 × W1. . As a result, a bonded core wire bundle 13 (second bonded core wire bundle) obtained by bonding all the core wires 11 of the 16 electric wires 10 is obtained as shown in FIG.

  And as shown in FIG. 3, the up-down direction Y4 of the joining core wire bundle 13 is sandwiched between the molds 23 and 24, and the left-right direction Y3 is sandwiched between the molds 21 and 22. In this state, the control circuit 30 controls the piezoelectric vibrator 31 to apply ultrasonic vibration to the mold 23 and to apply ultrasonic vibration to the bonded core wire bundle 13. At this time, the control circuit 30 applies ultrasonic vibration having energy larger than the ultrasonic vibration applied every time the core wires 11 of the other electric wires 10 are stacked one by one. Specifically, the vibration frequency and amplitude of the piezoelectric vibrator 31 and the pressurization by the hydraulic cylinder 28 are made larger than when the core wires 11 of the other electric wires 10 are stacked one by one.

  According to the above-described ultrasonic bonding method, as shown in FIG. 2, a part of the coating of each of the 16 electric wires 10 is removed to expose the core wire 11. And the ultrasonic vibration is given to the type | mold 23 in the state which pinched | interposed the core wire 11 of the two electric wires 10 among 16 electric wires 10 between a pair of type | molds 23 and 24, and the core wires 11 of the two electric wires 10 are connected. They are joined (FIG. 2 (a)). Thereafter, the core wires 11 of the other electric wires 10 are superposed one by one on the joint core wire bundle 12 composed of the core wires 11 of the two electric wires 10 joined together, and the joint core wire bundle 12 and the joint core wire bundle 12 each time they are superposed one by one. In the state where the core wire 11 of the other electric wire 10 superimposed on the pair is sandwiched between the pair of dies 23, 24, ultrasonic vibration is applied to the die 23, and the core wires 11 of the other electric wires 10 are joined to the joining core wire bundle 12 one by one. (FIGS. 2B to 2F).

  By joining the core wires 11 of the other electric wires 10 one by one to the joint core wire bundle 12 in this way, all the core wires 11 can be uniformly joined to each other. Wire breakage can be prevented. In addition, the energy of ultrasonic vibration when joining the core wires 11 one by one is reduced compared to the ultrasonic vibration energy when joining a plurality of core wires 11 at a time. For this reason, energy control and monitoring of ultrasonic vibration are facilitated, damage to the bonded core wire 11 due to ultrasonic vibration is suppressed, and wire breakage can be reliably prevented.

Moreover, according to the reference example mentioned above, the core wire 11 of the other electric wire 10 piled up on the joining core wire bundle 12 and the joining core wire bundle 12 so that the core wire 11 of one piled electric wire 10 may contact | connect the type | mold 23 is a pair of type | molds. 23, 24. That is, by contacting the core wire 11 of one electric wire 10 superimposed on the mold 23 to which the ultrasonic vibration is applied, damage due to the ultrasonic vibration to the bonded core wire 11 can be suppressed, and all the core wires 11 are more Bonding can be performed uniformly, and a shortage of bonding force due to insufficient bonding and wire breakage due to excessive bonding can be more reliably prevented.

Moreover, according to the reference example mentioned above, after the joining of all the core wires 11 of the 16 electric wires 10 is completed, the joined core wire bundle 13 obtained by joining all the core wires 11 of the 16 electric wires 10 is paired. An ultrasonic vibration having a larger energy than the ultrasonic vibration applied each time the core wires 11 of the other electric wires 10 are stacked one by one in a state of being sandwiched between the molds 23 and 24 is applied. As a result, when applying ultrasonic vibration to the core wires 11 stacked one by one, it is possible to apply ultrasonic vibration with a small energy in order to prevent the strands from being cut. Then, after all the joining is completed, ultrasonic vibrations of high energy are applied and the core wires 11 can be reliably joined to each other, so that the joining force shortage due to insufficient joining and the breakage of the strands due to excessive joining can be prevented. Can be prevented.

  Next, a configuration of the electric wire holding device 50 that is arranged around the ultrasonic bonding device 20 and holds the electric wire 10 so that the core wire 11 is sandwiched between the molds 21 to 24 will be described. As illustrated in FIG. 6, the electric wire holding device 50 includes two pairs of support columns 51 a and 51 b that are spaced apart from each other in the left-right direction Y <b> 3, and plate-like support bases 52 a and 52 b that are supported by the two pairs of support columns 51 a and 51 b. And. The support bases 52a and 52b are provided with insertion ports 53a and 53b extending substantially in the center in the left-right direction Y3.

  The belt-like elastic members 54a and 54b are supported by the support bases 52a and 52b. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 7, the band-like elastic members 54a and 54b are slackened around the insertion openings 53a and 53b on the lower surface side of the support bases 52a and 52b. In this state, both ends in the left-right direction Y3 of the belt-like elastic members 54a and 54b are passed through through holes provided in the support bases 52a and 52b, and are arranged and fixed on the upper surface side of the support bases 52a and 52b. Thus, the holding portions 55 for holding the electric wire 10 are configured by the belt-like elastic members 54a and 54b on the lower side of the support bases 52a and 52b and the support stands 52a and 52b facing the belt-like elastic members 54a and 54b. ing.

  The support columns 51a and 52b are formed on the two support plates 56U and 56D. The support plate 56U is connected to the support plate 56D by a pair of adjustment rods 57 that intersect each other. The support plate 56D is placed on a factory floor, for example. By changing the crossing angle of the pair of adjusting rods 57, the vertical position Y4 of the support plate 56U with respect to the support plate 56D can be adjusted. That is, the vertical position Y4 of the holding portion 55 can be adjusted.

  An ultrasonic bonding method using the above-described electric wire holding device 50 will be described below. First, as shown in FIG. 6A, one electric wire 10 is inserted into the holding portion 55 from the insertion ports 53a and 53b. The electric wire 10 is sandwiched and held between the elastic members 54a and 54b constituting the holding portion 55 and the support bases 52a and 52b. Thereafter, as shown in FIGS. 6B to 6D, the electric wires 10 are inserted into the holding portion 55 one by one from the insertion ports 53a and 53b. Each time the electric wires 10 are inserted one by one and the number of electric wires 10 inserted into the holding portion 55 increases, the elastic members 54a and 54b are deformed so that the plurality of electric wires inserted into the holding portion 55 are brought into close contact with each other. Energize. Thereby, the electric wire 10 can be reliably hold | maintained, without adjusting the magnitude | size of the holding | maintenance part 55 every time the electric wire 10 is inserted one by one.

  Moreover, in the electric wire holding device 50 described above, depending on the number and size of the electric wires 10 to be inserted into the holding portion 55, the upper and lower sides of the centers of the plurality of electric wires 10 inserted into the holding portion 55 and the support bases 52 a and 52 b. The direction Y4 position is shifted. Specifically, as is apparent from a comparison of FIGS. 7A and 7B, the more wires 10 inserted into the holding portion 55 and the larger the size, The center C moves away from the support bases 52a and 52b. Thereby, the vertical direction Y4 position of the center of the some electric wire 10 and the center of the joining core wire bundle 13 obtained by joining all the core wires 11 of these some electric wires 10 will shift | deviate, and a strand breaks or a part There was a problem that only the core wire 11 was retracted and the bonding force was reduced.

Therefore, in this reference example , the vertical angle Y4 position of the holding portion 55 is adjusted by adjusting the crossing angle of the adjusting rod 57 according to the number and size of the wires 10 to be joined, and the plurality of wires 10 and the joining core wire bundle 13 are The vertical Y4 position with respect to the center is prevented from shifting. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 8, the position of the holding portion 55 is increased as the number and size of the electric wires 10 are increased.

In the reference example described above, the core wires 11 are first stacked one by one on the bonded core wire bundle 12 in the order shown in FIG. 4, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the remaining core wires 11 may be stacked one by one in the order shown in FIGS. 5 (a) and 5 (b).

1st Embodiment In the reference example mentioned above, all the core wires 11 of the same core wire thickness were joined, but 1st Embodiment demonstrates below the case where the core wires 11 from which core wire thickness differs are joined. FIGS. 9A to 9F are explanatory views for explaining the procedure of the ultrasonic bonding method of the present invention in the first embodiment.

Since the ultrasonic bonding apparatus 20 used in the first embodiment has the same configuration as that of FIG. 1 already described in the reference example , detailed description thereof is omitted here. In the first embodiment, for example, when eight core wires 11 with a core wire thickness R1 and ten core wires 11 with a core wire thickness R1 / 4 (<R1) are joined, a total of 18 wires 10 core wires 11 are joined. explain.

First, in the same procedure as in the reference example described above, two of the 18 electric wires 10 having the largest core wire thickness are sandwiched between the pair of molds 23 and 24 and the pair of molds 21 and 22. Of the 18 electric wires 10, the electric wire 10 having the core wire thickness R1 has the largest core wire thickness. Therefore, the core wire 11 of the two electric wires 10 among the eight electric wires 10 having the core wire thickness R1 is sandwiched between the pair of molds 23 and 24 and between the pair of molds 21 and 22. Next, when the piezoelectric vibrator 31 is controlled and ultrasonically vibrated by the control circuit 30, the ultrasonic vibration is applied to the mold 23. Thereby, the core wire 11 of the two electric wires 10 of core wire thickness R1 is joined.

Thereafter, the core wires 11 of the other electric wires 10 are overlapped one by one in the order of increasing core wire thickness on the bonded core wire bundle 12 composed of the core wires of the two electric wires 10 joined. In the second embodiment, the core wires 11 of the eight electric wires 10 having the core wire thickness R1 are joined first, and then the core wires 11 of the ten electric wires 10 having the core wire thickness R1 / 4 are joined. As a detailed method of stacking, the core wires 11 of the other electric wires 10 are stacked one by one on the die 23 side of the bonded core wire bundle 12 as described in the first embodiment with reference to FIG. When the stacking height reaches a predetermined height (3 · W2 (see FIG. 9A) in the first embodiment), one core wire 11 of another electric wire 10 is placed on the right side in the left-right direction Y3 of the bonded core wire bundle 12. Repeat. And it repeats repeating the core wire 11 of the other electric wire 10 one by one on the type | mold 23 side of the core wire 11 piled up on the right-left direction Y3 right side of this joining core wire bundle 12. FIG. As a result, when all the core wires 11 of the eight electric wires 10 having the core wire thickness R1 are joined, a joined core wire bundle as shown in FIG. 9A is obtained.

  Similarly, ten core wires 11 of the electric wire 10 having a core wire thickness R1 / 4 are overlapped and joined one by one (see FIGS. 9A to 9F). As a result, as shown in FIG. 11, a total of 18 cores consisting of the core wire 11 of the eight electric wires 10 having the core wire thickness R1 and the core wires 11 of the ten electric wires 10 having the core wire thickness R1 / 4 are joined. A bundle 13 is obtained.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 10, the vertical direction Y4 of the bonding core wire bundle 13 is sandwiched between the molds 23 and 24, and the left-right direction Y3 is sandwiched between the molds 21 and 22. In this state, the control circuit 30 controls the piezoelectric vibrator 31 to apply ultrasonic vibration to the mold 23 and to apply ultrasonic vibration to the bonded core wire bundle 13. At this time, the control circuit 30 applies ultrasonic vibration having energy larger than the ultrasonic vibration applied every time the core wires 11 of the other electric wires 10 are stacked one by one. Specifically, the vibration frequency and amplitude of the piezoelectric vibrator 31 and the pressurization by the hydraulic cylinder 28 are made larger than when the core wires 11 of the other electric wires 10 are stacked one by one.

  The control circuit 30 generates the ultrasonic energy generated by the piezoelectric vibrator 31 when the core wire 11 having the core wire thickness R1 is joined to the piezoelectric vibrator 31 when joining the core wire 11 having the core wire thickness R1 / 4. The energy of ultrasonic vibration generated by the piezoelectric vibrator 31 is controlled so as to be larger than the ultrasonic energy to be generated. Specifically, the control circuit 30 joins the core wire 11 having the core wire thickness R1 / 4 to the vibration frequency and amplitude of the piezoelectric vibrator 31 when the core wire 11 having the core wire thickness R1 is joined, and pressurization by the hydraulic cylinder 28. The vibration frequency and amplitude of the piezoelectric vibrator 31 and the pressurization by the hydraulic cylinder 28 are set larger.

According to the first embodiment described above, the core wires 11 of the other wires 10 are connected to the bonded core wire bundle 12 composed of the core wires 11 of the two wires 10 having the largest core wire thickness among the core wires 11 of the plurality of wires 10. One by one in order of thickness. As a result, the core wire 11 having a thinner core wire thickness can reduce the number of times the ultrasonic vibration is applied, and can more reliably prevent the strand break.

Moreover, according to 1st Embodiment mentioned above, the ultrasonic vibration with a big energy is provided so that the core wire thickness of the core wire 11 piled up one by one is thick. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent the core wire 11 having a thin core wire thickness from being subjected to ultrasonic vibration having excessive energy and causing the core wire to be cut. Further, it is possible to prevent the ultrasonic wave vibration having a small energy from being applied to the thick core wire 11 and insufficient joining.

By the way, when the thick core wire 11 is superimposed on the joined core wire 11 having a thin core wire thickness and the ultrasonic vibration of the energy matching the core wire thickness of the stacked core wire 11 is applied, the core wire thickness is reduced. Excessive ultrasonic vibration may be imparted to the thinly bonded core wire 11 to cause breakage of the strand. In the first embodiment, the core wires 11 of the other electric wires 10 are stacked one by one on the mold 23 side of the bonded core wire bundle 12 including the core wires 11 of the two electric wires 10 that are bonded, and the stacked height is a predetermined height. , One core wire 11 of another electric wire 10 is superimposed on the right side in the left-right direction Y3 of the joining core wire bundle 12, and another core wire is placed on the mold 23 side of the one core wire superimposed on the right side in the left-right direction Y3 of the joining core wire bundle 12. The overlapping of the core wire 11 of the electric wire 10 is repeated. Thereby, if the core wire 11 of the electric wire 10 is piled up in order with the thick core wire thickness, the core wires 11 with the close core wire thickness can be overlapped and joined. That is, the same core wire thickness can be set to be the same as one core wire 11 overlapped with the overlapped bonded core wires 11. For this reason, even if the ultrasonic vibration having the combined energy of the one core wire 11 stacked as described above is applied, excessive ultrasonic vibration energy is not applied to the stacked core wires 11 without being added. Wire breakage can be prevented.

Moreover, according to 1st Embodiment mentioned above, after complete | finishing joining of all the core wires 11 of the some electric wire 10, after joining all the core wires 11 of the some electric wire 10, the joining core wire bundle 13 obtained by joining a pair of type | molds 23 The ultrasonic vibration having a larger energy than the ultrasonic vibration applied each time the core wires 11 of the other electric wires 10 are overlapped one by one in a state of being sandwiched between 24. As a result, when applying ultrasonic vibration to the core wires 11 stacked one by one, it is possible to apply ultrasonic vibration with a small energy in order to prevent the strands from being cut. And after joining of all the core wires 11 of the plurality of electric wires 10 is finished, high energy ultrasonic vibration is applied and the core wires 11 can be reliably joined to each other. It is possible to prevent wire breakage due to excessive joining.

In addition, according to 1st Embodiment mentioned above, there were only two types of core wire thickness R1 and R1 / 4 in the some core wire 11, However, This invention is not limited to this. For example, even if two or more types of core wire thickness are included, they may be stacked in order of increasing thickness.

Moreover, according to 1st Embodiment mentioned above, the core wire 11 of the other electric wire 10 is laminated | stacked one by one on the type | mold 23 side of the joining core wire bundle 12 which consists of the core wire 11 of the joined two electric wires 10, and the lamination | stacking When the height reaches a predetermined height, one core wire 11 of another electric wire 10 is stacked on the right side in the left-right direction Y3 of the bonded core wire bundle 12, and the core 23 of the core wire 11 is stacked on the right side in the left-right direction Y3 of the bonded core wire bundle 12. Although it repeats laminating | stacking the core wire of the other electric wire 10 one by one on the side, this invention is not limited to this. That is, in the present invention, the core wires 11 of the other electric wires 10 may be overlapped in the order of increasing core wire thickness, and the number of times of applying ultrasonic vibration is smaller as the core wire 11 has a thinner core wire thickness, regardless of the method of overlap. Thus, it is possible to obtain the effect that the strand breakage can be more reliably prevented.

Second Embodiment In the reference example and the first embodiment described above, all the core wires 11 to be joined are overlapped and joined one by one, but a joining block composed of the core wires 11 of the plurality of electric wires 10 joined to each other is provided. A plurality of bonding blocks are formed, and ultrasonic vibration is applied to the mold 23 in a state where the plurality of bonding blocks are sandwiched between the pair of sides 23 and 24, thereby bonding the plurality of bonding blocks.

For example, as shown in FIG. 12, a joining block A consisting of core wires 11 of eight electric wires 10 having a core wire thickness R1, a joining block B consisting of core wires 11 of four electric wires 10 having a core wire thickness R1 / 4, and a core wire A joining block C composed of core wires 11 of six electric wires 10 having a thickness R1 / 4 is formed. As described in the reference example and the first embodiment described above, each of the joining blocks A, B, and C is composed of a pair of dies 23 out of the core wires 11 of the electric wires 10 constituting each of the joining blocks A, B, and C. Then, ultrasonic vibration is applied to the mold 23 in a state of being sandwiched between the 24 molds, the core wires 11 of the two electric wires 10 are bonded to each other, and the bonded core wire bundle 12 composed of the core wires 11 of the two electric wires 10 bonded to each other. It forms by joining the core wires 11 of the other electric wires 10 one by one.

  Thereafter, the joining blocks A, B, and C are joined to each other by applying ultrasonic vibration to the mold 23 in a state where the joining blocks A, B, and C are overlapped with each other and sandwiched between the pair of molds 23 and 24. Also in this case, as in the first and second embodiments, since the core wires 11 of the other electric wires 10 are bonded to the first bonded core wire bundle 12 one by one, all the core wires 11 can be bonded uniformly to each other. It is possible to prevent insufficient bonding force due to insufficient bonding and wire breakage due to excessive bonding. In addition, the energy of ultrasonic vibration when joining the core wires 11 one by one is reduced compared to the ultrasonic vibration energy when joining a plurality of core wires 11 at a time. For this reason, energy control and monitoring of ultrasonic vibration are facilitated, damage to the bonded core wire 11 due to ultrasonic vibration is suppressed, and wire breakage can be reliably prevented.

Third Embodiment Also, as shown in FIGS. 13A and 13B, the thickness of the core wire increases from the center to the outside of the bonded core wire bundle 13 obtained by bonding all the core wires 11 of the plurality of electric wires 10. It is conceivable that the core wires 11 of the other electric wires 10 are overlapped one by one on the bonded core wire bundle 12 so as to be thicker. According to this, the thin core wire 11 can be surrounded by the strong core wire 11 having a thick core wire thickness, and even if a force is applied from the outside, the thin core wire 11 is not directly applied to the thin core wire 11. There is no breakage.

In the reference example and the first to third embodiments described above, the bonded core wire bundle 12 and the other electric wires 10 stacked on the bonded core wire bundle 12 so that the overlapped one core wire 11 is in contact with one of the molds 23. Although the core wire 11 is sandwiched between the pair of molds 23 and 24, the present invention is not limited to this. In the present invention, the core wires 11 of the other electric wires 10 may be bonded to the bonded core wire bundle 12 one by one. For example, the stacked core wires 11 may be stacked so as to be in contact with the mold 24.

Moreover, in 1st Embodiment mentioned above, when joining the core wire 11 of the electric wire 10 of multiple types of core wire thickness, it joined in order with the thick core wire thickness, However, This invention is not limited to this. That is, the core wires 11 of the other electric wires 10 may be bonded to the bonded core wire bundle 12 one by one, and may be randomly bonded without considering the core wire thickness.
