Description
Rotary member for friction stir, robot-type joint device, and joint member Technical Field The present invention relates to a friction stir welding (FSW, friction STIR WELDING) related rotary member for friction stir welding, a robot type welding device, and a welding member. Background In patent document 1, a stirring pin is disposed on a main body portion so as to be rotatable and movable with respect to an axial direction of a rotary shaft by receiving a rotational force from the main body portion. Further, a first elastic member (for example, a coil spring) is provided to urge the stirring pin toward the distal end side with respect to the axial direction of the rotary shaft. The shoulder portion is disposed on the main body portion so as to be movable independently of the stirring pin in the axial direction of the rotation shaft without receiving a rotational force from the main body portion. Further, a second elastic member is provided that urges the shoulder portion toward the distal end side with respect to the axial direction of the rotation shaft. In a state where the stirring pin is pressed into the engaged member at a constant height, even if the height of the engaged member changes, the first elastic member deforms with the change of the engaged member, so that the amount of insertion of the stirring pin is kept constant ([ 0041 ]). Since the stirring pin is inserted into the engaged member at a constant depth by the action of the first elastic member, a plasticized region ([ 0071 ]) is formed at a certain depth. As described above, in the technique of patent document 1, the first elastic member biases the stirring pin toward the member to be joined, and the stirring pin is inserted into the member to be joined at a predetermined depth. In patent document 2, the stirring pin and the shoulder constitute an assembly. The assembly is relatively rotatable and integrally movable with respect to the axial direction of the rotary shaft. Further, a first elastic member (for example, a coil spring) is provided, and biases the assembly toward the tip end side of the stirring pin with respect to the axial direction of the rotation shaft. In the technique of patent document 2, too, the first elastic member keeps the amount of stirring pin inserted constant, and the plasticized region ([ 0033], [0052 ]) is formed at a constant depth. In patent document 3, the rotary tool includes a main body and a stirring member. The main body portion has a fixing portion mounted and fixed on the engagement device and a rotation shaft transmitting a rotation force from the engagement device. The stirring member has a stirring pin, is provided so as to be rotatable by receiving a rotational force from the rotation shaft, and is provided to the main body so as to be movable in an axial direction of the rotation shaft. Further, an elastic member (coil spring) is provided, and the elastic member biases the stirring member toward the distal end side in the axial direction of the rotation shaft. In the technique of patent document 3, too, the amount of stirring pin insertion is kept constant by an elastic member, and a plasticized region is formed at a constant depth ([ 0035], [0051 ]). In any one of patent documents 1 to 3, the stirring pin is biased toward the member to be joined by an elastic member (coil spring) and is pressed against the member to be joined, and the amount of insertion of the stirring pin is kept constant, so that a plasticized region is formed at a constant depth.

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a friction stir welding rotating member, a robot-type welding device, and a welding member, which can suppress the occurrence of welding defects and can achieve high-strength welding when friction stir welding is performed. Means for solving the problems The present inventors have conducted intensive studies in view of the above problems and have obtained the following findings. Conventionally, in friction stir welding, a support structure of a stirring pin has been designed based on the design concept of how the stirring pin is friction-stirred in a stable state. Therefore, an external force is also forcibly applied, such as how the stirring pin is forced toward the engaged member to stably press and insert the engaged member. In patent documents 1 to 3, the elastic member is also provided to form a plasticized region at a constant depth while keeping the amount of the s
