Plastic housing with a closing lid made of plastic filled with glass balls

Die Erfindung betrifft Kunststoffgehäuse aus einem Laserlicht absorbierenden Grundkörper und einem diesen Grundkörper verschließenden Deckel aus einem gefüllten Polybutylenterephthalat (PBT). Bei dem Deckel sind in eine Kunststoffmatrix aus PBT Glaskugeln eingelagert. Die Glaskugeln sind aus einem Kalk-Soda-Glas der Zusammensetzung 72,5% SiO2, 13,7% Na2O, 9,8% CaO, 3,3% MgO, 0,4% Al2O3, 0,2% FeO/Fe2O3, 0,1% K2O und weisen einen mittleren Kugeldurchmesser im Bereich von 50 Mikrometer bis 150 Mikrometer auf. Die Glaskugeln sind bevorzugt mit einem Silan als Haftvermittler zwischen Kugelglas und Kunststoffmatrix beschichtet. Der Gewichtsanteil der Glaskugeln am gefüllten PBT beträgt zwischen 10% und 40% des Gesamtgewichts des gefüllten PBT. The invention relates to plastic housings made of a laser body that absorbs laser light and a cover made of a filled polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) that closes this body. The lid is embedded in a plastic matrix made of PBT glass balls. The glass balls are made of soda-lime glass with the composition 72.5% SiO2, 13.7% Na2O, 9.8% CaO, 3.3% MgO, 0.4% Al2O3, 0.2% FeO / Fe2O3, 0.1% K2O and have an average ball diameter in the range of 50 microns to 150 microns. The glass spheres are preferably coated with a silane as an adhesion promoter between the spherical glass and the plastic matrix. The proportion by weight of the glass balls in the filled PBT is between 10% and 40% of the total weight of the filled PBT.

Workpiece part, in particular for housing assemblies, and method for connecting workpiece parts by means of laser beams

The invention relates to a workpiece part, in particular for housing assemblies of, for example, pumps, valves, and the like, in which two workpiece parts can be connected by a joining zone (31), wherein the workpiece part comprises a laser beam-absorbing material, wherein at least one rib element is provided in the region of the joining zone (31). The invention further relates to a method for connecting, by means of laser beams, workpiece parts which in particular belong to a housing assembly for, for example, pumps, valves and the like, wherein a first laser beam-transparent workpiece part (23) and a second laser beam-absorbing workpiece part (22) are connected to each other by a joining zone (31) such that the laser beams of a laser beam source are introduced through the first workpiece part (23) and the second workpiece part (22) is heated in the region of the joining zone (31) such that the second workpiece part (22) and the first workpiece part (23) attain a fusible state in the joining zone (31) and, during subsequent cooling, a solidification of the joining zone (31) is achieved, wherein in the initial state the second workpiece part (22) comprises at least one rib element (28) such that the two workpiece parts (22, 23) are transferred into a press fit in a first step, creating a press region in the joining zone 31, and in a second step the two workpiece parts (22, 23) are non-positively and/or positively connected to each other in the joining zone (31) by the connecting by means of laser beams.

Vehicle circuit board housing

The plastics housing for a vehicle control unit, such as a circuit board (5), has the pin bar (4) and pin bar cover (3) hermetically sealed with the housing base (2) and housing cover (1) by plastics welding.
