INSTRUCTIONS OF THE INVENTION: TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a laser welding device for welding a wire to a terminal laser. [Prior Art] For example, a wire such as a core wire protruding from a cable is electrically connected to a terminal of a welded object provided in the connector _ by laser welding (see, for example, Patent Document 1). In this technique, the leading end portion of the wire is in contact with the & terminal, and the laser beam is irradiated to the tip end portion to fuse the wire to the terminal. In the case of using this technique, it is necessary to keep the wire so that its leading end portion does not deviate from the position of the laser light irradiation during the laser welding. When the positioning accuracy of the leading end portion of the wire is deteriorated, the laser light is unstable to the hit target of the wire, so that the bonding quality fluctuates. [Problem to be Solved by the Invention] However, for example, a core wire of a very thin cable or the like has a high flexibility when the wire is high, even if it is intended to be maintained When the front end portion of the cable is separated from the terminal end portion of the cable, the tip end portion of the wire is abutted against the terminal, and the wire is bent, so that it is difficult to keep the tip end portion of the wire from being deviated. Further, the shape of the connector to be welded is limited to the position close to the front end portion of the lead wire when the portion to be laser-welded is restricted. When the front end portion of the pressing lead wire is held, it is difficult to irradiate the laser light. The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide a laser welding apparatus capable of performing laser welding in which a lead wire is held so that a front end portion of a wire does not deviate from a position on a terminal. 13-52003 [Means for Solving the Problem] 'The laser welding device according to the present invention for solving the above problems' is a laser for performing laser welding of a wire and a terminal provided on the object to be welded. The welding device includes a first holding member that is placed on a surface on which the terminal of the welding target is provided, and a guide portion that is recessed in a figure of three in a plan view, and the guide portion is used for the guide portion. The leading end portion of the lead wire is guided to the terminal. The second holding member presses the lead wire in a state where the leading end portion of the lead wire is introduced into the guiding portion, and is characterized by: At the position where the φ second holding member is pressed, the laser beam is irradiated to the front end side to perform laser welding. Further, in the above-described laser welding apparatus, laser light is irradiated to a portion of the lead wire that is introduced into the guide portion to perform laser welding, and the first holding member may be provided at the time of laser welding. The peripheral portion of the position where the laser light of the terminal can be illuminated is shielded from light. Further, in the above-described laser welding apparatus, the second holding member is provided only by a portion that can maintain the second holding member in contact with the lead wire and a surface on which the terminal is provided Supported by the mechanism of the distance state, the predetermined distance may be larger than the diameter of the wire, and is smaller than the total of the diameter of the wire and the height of the guiding portion. Further, in the above laser welding apparatus, the surface of the first holding member may be formed of a material having a higher melting point than the wire. Further, in the above laser welding apparatus, the surface of the second holding member is formed of a material having a higher melting point than the wire. Further, in the above-described laser welding apparatus, the first holding member is supported by a position which is located above a surface on which the terminal is provided and which is rotatable at a position further forward than a front end portion 1352003 of the lead wire. The portion is supported by the rotation of the 'support portion' and moved to the surface on which the terminal is provided. Further, in the above-described laser welding apparatus, the second holding member is supported by a support portion that is lower than a surface on which the terminal is provided and that is rotatable at a position further forward than a front end portion of the lead wire. And the wire is abutted by the rotation of the support portion. [Effect of the Invention] According to the present invention, the lead wire is guided by the first holding member to a guide portion having a diameter of =1 in a plan view, and is held by the second holding member while the wire is pressed from above. The wire is fixed so that the wire does not deviate from the position on the terminal for laser welding. [Embodiment] [Best Embodiment of the Invention] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

On one side of the connector 20, a plurality of metal terminals 21 are provided. Further, the surface of the connector 20 on which the metal terminal 21 is provided is referred to as a terminal surface 22. The surface of each of the metal terminals 21 has a substantially rectangular shape, and IJ52003 is arranged on the terminal surface 22 at equal intervals along the width direction of the rectangle. Further, among the terminal faces 22, a portion around the metal terminals 21 excluding the metal terminals 21 is formed of a resin. Hereinafter, the surface portion other than the metal terminal 21 of the terminal surface 22 is referred to as a resin portion 23. Further, the outer wall 24 and the protruding portion 25 are formed to protrude perpendicularly to the terminal surface 22. The outer wall 24 is a structure that surrounds the three sides in the direction in which the cable 30 is disposed among the outer circumferences of the terminal faces 22. Further, the projections 25 are formed to form a plurality of spaced apart portions along one side of the terminal surface 22 where the outer wall 24 is not formed, and the cable 30 is guided. The laser welding apparatus 10 applies laser welding to each of the plurality of metal terminals 21 to the core wire (wire) 31 which is peeled off from the front end portion of the plurality of cables 30 and exposed. The connector holding portion 11 is a seat of the laser welding device 10 and has a shape in which the connector 20 can be housed. The connector 20 is housed in the connector holding portion 11 and held. At this time, the connector 20 is fixed with the terminal surface 22 facing upward. The first holding member 12 is integrally formed with the first holding member connecting portion 13 , and the first holding member connecting portion 13 is supported by the first holding member supporting portion 14 and supported by the first holding member supporting portion 14 . . The first holding member supporting portion 14 is rotatably movable to the connector holding portion 11 with the rotating shaft 14a as a center of rotation as indicated by an arrow in Fig. 1 . In addition, the first holding member connecting portion 13 that is attached to the first holding member supporting portion 14 has an L-shaped cross section, and one end of the L-shape is connected to the first holding member supporting portion 14. Further, the other end of the L-shape is connected to the first holding member 12 which is formed in a flat shape so as to be orthogonal to the first holding member connecting portion 13. 1352003 The first holding member support portion 14 is configured to move the first holding member 12 so as to contact the terminal surface 22 by the rotational movement of the rotation axis i4a as a center of rotation. The second holding member 15' is supported by the second holding member supporting portion 16 while being attached to the second holding member supporting portion 16, and moves along with the second holding member supporting portion 16. Similarly to the first holding member supporting portion 14, the second holding member supporting portion 16 is configured to be rotatable with respect to the connector holding portion 11 with the rotating shaft 16a as a center of rotation. Further, the second holding member supporting portion 16 is formed in a zigzag shape in a zigzag shape, and the second holding member 15 is attached to the distal end portion on the side opposite to the rotating shaft 16a. Specifically, the second holding member 15 is formed in a columnar shape having an L-shaped cross section, and one side of the L shape is connected to the second holding member supporting portion 16. The second holding member support portion 16 is configured to transmit the rotation of the core wire 31 of the cable 30 that is disposed to match the position of the metal terminal 21 of the connector 20 from above by the rotational movement about the rotation shaft 16a. The holding member 15 moves. Further, the second holding member supporting portion 16 is provided with a laser irradiation opening portion 16b. The laser irradiation opening portion 16b has a rectangular shape and is formed to penetrate the second holding member supporting portion 16. In the laser welding apparatus 10 shown in Fig. 1, the first holding member 12 is placed on the terminal face 22 of the connector 20 by the rotational movement of the i-th holding member supporting portion 14, and the cable is used. A perspective view of a state in which the 30 core wires 31 can match the position of the metal terminal 21 to indicate that the electrical performance 30 is disposed. Further, Fig. 3 is a top view of a portion of the portion A shown by a broken line in Fig. 2 seen from above the laser welding device 10. Further, Fig. 4 is a partial cross-sectional view showing a state in which the 1352003 cable 30 and the laser welding device 10 are cut in a plane parallel to the axial direction of the core wire 31 and perpendicular to the terminal surface 22. As shown in the figures, on the side of the first holding member 12 facing the cable 30, only the number of the metal terminals 21 provided in the connector 20 is provided, and the corresponding number of concave shapes in the plan view is provided. Guide portion 12a. The guiding portion 12 2 is disposed at an interval corresponding to the interval at which the metal terminals 21 are disposed on the terminal surface 22, and when the first holding member 12 is placed on the terminal surface 22, the position of the guiding portion 12a meets the metal. The position of the terminal 21. Further, the width w of the opening portion of the guide portion 12a is larger than the diameter r of the core wire 31 and smaller than the width of the metal terminal 21 in the width direction. Further, the depth of the guide portion 12a is set to be the size corresponding to the length direction of the metal terminal 21. Further, the height h of the portion of the first holding member 12 where the guide portion 12a is formed is equal to the diameter r of the core wire 31. This guide portion 12a serves to guide the front end portion of the core wire 31 to the metal terminal 21. In other words, in a state in which the first holding member 12 is brought into contact with the terminal surface 22, the cable 30 is placed so that the core wire 31 can be introduced into each of the plurality of guide portions 1 2a, and the cable 30 is arranged as shown in FIG. From the above, each of the core wires 31 can be neatly positioned above the metal terminals 21. In the state in which the distal end portion of the core wire 31 is introduced into the guide portion 12a, the second holding member 15 is moved by the second holding member supporting portion 16, and the portion away from the distal end portion of the core wire 31 by a predetermined distance is used. The distal end portion of the second holding member 15 is pressed against the terminal surface 22, and the position of the core wire 31 is held without variation. Fig. 5 is a perspective view showing the laser welding apparatus 10 in a state where the core wire 31 is pressed by the second holding member 15. Here, the second holding member supporting portion 16 has a structure in which the second holding member 15 is in contact with the core wire 31 and the core wire 31 is pressed against the terminal surface 22, and -10-1352003 is temporarily stopped. In other words, the second holding member support portion 16 is provided with a mechanism capable of maintaining a state in which the second holding member 15 and the terminal surface 22 are separated by a predetermined distance t. This predetermined distance is larger than the diameter r of the core wire 31 and smaller than the total 値(r+h) of the diameter r of the core wire 31 and the height h of the guide portion i2a. This mechanism can be realized by, for example, an elastic member such as a height adjustment spiral and a cam or a retractable spring, and a retaining means that maintains the elastic member in a predetermined length state. Thus, by maintaining the state in which the second holding member 15 is separated from the terminal surface 22 by only a predetermined distance t, the core wire 31 can be temporarily pressed without being completely fixed by the second holding member 15. 6(a) and 6(b) are diagrams showing the state in which the core wire 31 is temporarily pressed by the second holding member 15, and the laser welding device 1 in which the connector 20 and the cable 30 are placed is displayed. A partial cross-sectional view of the 切 in a plane parallel to the axial direction of the core wire 31 and perpendicular to the terminal surface 22 . Further, the position indicated by the dotted circle in the figures indicates the laser irradiation device 17. In the present embodiment, the laser irradiation device 17 is a portion of the front end portion of the core wire 31 that is introduced into the guide portion 12a, and is further forward than the portion where the second holding member 15 abuts. In Fig. 6(a), the front end portion of the second holding member 15 (i.e., the portion that abuts against the core wire 31) is stopped at a position that is only a predetermined distance t away from the terminal surface 22, and 'shows a state in which the pressing is temporarily applied. Here, the predetermined distance t is smaller than the total of the diameter r of the core wire 3 1 • and the height h of the guide portion 1 2a. Therefore, even if the front end of the core wire 3 1 is introduced into the guide portion 1 2a, even the core wire Although there is a slight movement of the 3 1 , the second holding member 15 is pressed, so that the upper portion of the guiding portion 12 a is not exposed and flies out of the outside. On the other hand, since the predetermined distance t is larger than the diameter r of the core wire 31, at least either one between the second holding member 111-1352003 15 and the core wire 3 1 or between the core wire 3 1 and the terminal face 22 A gap is generated such that the core wire 31 is not completely pressed by the terminal face 22. Therefore, in the state of being temporarily pressed, as shown by the arrow in Fig. 6(a), the cable 30 can be moved in the axial direction of the core wire 31. Thereby, the state in which the core wire 31 does not move in the lateral direction is maintained by the guide portion 12a, and the front and rear positions of the core wire 31 can be adjusted. When the position of the core wire 31 is adjusted so that the front end portion of the core wire 31 can reach the deepest portion of the guide portion 12a, the distance from the tip end portion of the core wire 31 to the laser irradiation device 17 can be made substantially constant. In the state of the laser irradiation device 17 in which the core wire 31 is placed on the metal terminal 21 in the position adjustment as described above, the second holding member supporting portion 16 is further rotated by the temporary pressing state. As shown in FIG. 6(b), the distal end portion of the second holding member 15 is brought into contact with the core wire 31, and the core wire 31 is pressed against the terminal surface 22. Thereby, the core wire 31 can be fixed without causing a larger positional change than this. At this time, as shown in Fig. 5, the laser irradiation opening portion 16b provided in the second holding member supporting portion 16 is positioned above the laser irradiation device 17. In this state, the laser irradiation device 17 is irradiated with laser light from above through the opening portion 16b for laser irradiation, and the core wire 3 1 and the metal terminal 2 1 are subjected to laser welding. - In the present embodiment, when the laser welding is performed, the first holding member 1 2 functions as a hood. 7(a) and 7(b) are views for explaining the function of the hood of the first holding member 12, showing that the core wire 31 and the connector 20 are cut in a plane perpendicular to the axial direction of the core wire 31. Partial cross-section of the look. Here, the seventh (a) diagram shows how the laser light is irradiated onto the core wire 31 when the first holding member 12 is absent, and the seventh (b) figure is displayed on the first holding -12-1352003 holding member 12. Happening. As shown in Fig. 7(a), it is assumed that when the first holding member 1 2 is absent, reflection or scattering after the irradiated laser light hits the core wire 31 causes the reflected or scattered light to illuminate the resin of the terminal face 22. Part 23. When the laser beam is irradiated onto the resin portion 23, the resin portion 23 is burnt to deteriorate the appearance of the connector 20, and the voltage resistance or the dielectric strength between the plurality of metal terminals 21 is lowered by carbonization. In particular, when the distance between the plurality of metal terminals 21 is short, the risk of this problem becomes high. On the other hand, as shown in Fig. 7(b), in the present embodiment, the first holding member 12 is placed on the terminal surface 22 in a state where laser light is emitted. Further, the width w of the guide portion 12a provided in the first holding member 12 is smaller than the width of the metal terminal 21 in the width direction as described above. Therefore, the first holding member 12 can positively guide the core wire 31 to the metal terminal 21 by the guide portion 12a, and can cover the resin portion 23 around the laser irradiation device 17 of the metal terminal 21. As a result, as shown in Fig. 7(b), the first holding member 1 2 can shield the reflected light or the scattered light of the laser light from being irradiated onto the resin portion 23 around the laser irradiation device 17. Further, at least the surface portion of the first holding member 12 is preferably formed of a material having a higher melting point than the core wire 31, so that the first holding member 12 does not melt the metal terminal 21 according to the irradiation of the laser light or It is melted by heat transfer from the core wire 31. Examples of the material having such a high melting point include tungsten, molybdenum, molybdenum, ceramics, and the like. Further, the surface portion of the second holding member 15 may be formed of a material having a higher melting point than the core wire 31. Here, the first holding member supporting portion 14 and the second holding member supporting portion 16 are formed. The positional relationship of the rotating shaft is explained. Fig. 8 is a view showing the positional relationship of the respective rotating shafts showing the positional relationship of the main portion of the laser welding apparatus 10 when viewed from the side direction of the laser welding apparatus 10 -13-1352003. As shown in Fig. 8, the rotation shaft 14a belonging to the rotation center of the first holding member supporting portion 14 is located above the terminal surface 22 (i.e., 'the side where the laser light is incident on the terminal surface 22'), and is disposed on the core wire. 31 is the front position of the front end. In this manner, the first holding member supporting portion 14 is rotated about the center of rotation of the rotating shaft 14a. The first holding member 12 is as shown by the arrow in the solid line in the drawing, and is temporarily moved from the left side to the right side toward the paper surface. When it is finally placed on the terminal surface 22, it becomes a path of movement φ which is lowered from the right side to the left side toward the terminal surface 22 toward the paper surface. Thereby, the first holding member support portion 14 can move the first holding member 12 on the terminal surface 22 so as not to interfere with the outer wall 24 provided perpendicular to the terminal surface 22 of the connector 20. Further, as shown in Fig. 8, the rotation shaft 16a belonging to the rotation center of the second holding member support portion 16 is located below the terminal surface 22 (i.e., the side opposite to the side on which the laser light is incident on the terminal surface 22). Further, it is disposed at a position forward of the front end of the core wire 31. In this way, the second holding member support portion 16 is rotated about the rotation shaft 16a, and the second holding member 15 is indicated by a φ arrow indicated by a broken line in the figure, and when the second holding member 15 presses the core wire 31, the second holding member 15 is taken toward the paper surface. The left side is lowered to the right to the moving path on the core wire 31. Thereby, the second holding member supporting portion 16 can move the second holding member 15 to abut against the core wire 3 so as not to interfere with the protruding portion 25 provided on the terminal surface 22 of the connector 20. 1 position. By arranging the rotating shafts 14a and 16a at the positions as described above, even if the welding target is a small connector or the like, and the space on the terminal surface 22 is restricted, the first holding member 1 2 and The mechanism in which the second holding member 15 is disposed on the terminal surface 22 or the core wire 31 can be a support portion having a rotating mechanism having a good workability of -14-1352003. According to the above-described laser welding apparatus 10 according to the embodiment of the present invention, the core wire 31 is introduced into the guide portion 12a which is formed in the shape of the first holding member 12 in a plan view, and is transmitted through The second holding member 15 holds the core wire 3 1 in a state where the core wire 31 is pressed from above, and the core wire 31 can be fixed to the core wire 31 so as not to be separated from the position where the laser beam is irradiated. Thereby, it is possible to reliably perform laser welding at a position that is only a certain distance from the end portion before the core wire 31, and it is possible to suppress variations in the bonding quality of the respective core wires 31. In addition, since the first holding member 12 performs the function of shielding the light shielding cover that shields the resin portion 23 around the laser irradiation position 17 in the terminal surface 22, it is possible to prevent the resin portion 23 from being reflected or scattered by the laser light. And damage. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a laser welding apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention.
