  Patent Document 1 shows welding in a butt joint, and does not consider welding in a lap joint in which two members are overlapped and welded from one side to the two members. On the other hand, Patent Document 2 considers welding of lap joints. Further, Patent Document 2 enables detection of different types of defects (above (a) to (f)) using longitudinal waves and transverse waves. However, the defects (a) to (f) in Patent Document 2 exist above the boundary surface between the two members (the side where welding is performed). That is, in Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2, sufficient consideration is given to detecting a defect existing below the boundary surface between two members in a lap joint (on the side opposite to the side on which welding is performed). Absent.

  Longitudinal and transverse waves used in the ultrasonic method are directional, and longitudinal and transverse waves are reflected at the interface between the two members, so that defects that occur inside narrow welds due to laser welding are eliminated. It is not easy to detect.

A longitudinal wave receiving laser is irradiated to the laser irradiation position. The transverse wave ultrasonic wave generated by the thermoelastic mode generated by the irradiation of the generation laser for the transverse wave is detected by the receiving laser for the transverse wave, and the ultrasonic wave generated by the thermoelastic mode generated by the irradiation of the generation laser for the longitudinal wave is detected by the reception laser for the longitudinal wave . A defect at a position shallower than the boundary surface between the first member and the second member is detected by longitudinal wave ultrasonic waves, and a defect at a position deeper than the boundary surface is detected by transverse wave ultrasonic waves.

  Embodiments according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 1 is a conceptual diagram showing a process of detecting a defect De by a laser ultrasonic method. In the laser ultrasonic method, the inspection target A is irradiated with the laser LaT to generate ultrasonic waves in the inspection target A. The ultrasonic wave UT generated in the inspection object A is reflected by the defect De, and a displacement (surface displacement) Di is generated on the surface of the inspection object A. Then, the laser LaR is irradiated to the surface where the surface displacement Di is generated, the surface displacement Di is detected by the detector Det, and the defect De is detected.

  The laser LaT that generates the ultrasonic wave UT on the inspection target A is referred to as a generation laser or a transmission laser. The laser LaR that detects the surface displacement Di is called a reception laser or a detection laser. Hereinafter, a method for performing defect detection using a laser ultrasonic method is referred to as an ultrasonic inspection method, and an apparatus for performing defect detection using a laser ultrasonic method is referred to as an ultrasonic inspection device. In the present embodiment, the ultrasonic inspection method and the ultrasonic inspection apparatus detect the defect De of the welded portion We in laser welding. Examples of the defect (scratch) De of the welded portion We include a crack and a blow hole.

  In the present embodiment, the welded portion We is a portion where the metal melted by welding is solidified. A swell (weld bead) is formed on the surface side of the welded portion We. This weld bead may be removed.

  FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a concept of an in-process inspection apparatus 1000 using the ultrasonic inspection apparatus 1 according to the present invention.

  The ultrasonic inspection apparatus 1 of this embodiment constitutes an in-process inspection apparatus 1000 that works in conjunction with the laser welding apparatus 2. That is, the ultrasonic inspection apparatus 1 of this embodiment is applied to a manufacturing apparatus for the high-pressure fuel supply pump 100, and laser welding is performed on the high-pressure fuel supply pump 100 by the laser welding apparatus 2 while simultaneously performing laser welding by the ultrasonic inspection apparatus 1. A defect De generated in the portion We is detected. For this purpose, the ultrasonic inspection apparatus 1 and the laser welding apparatus 2 are arranged around the high-pressure fuel supply pump 100.

  In the laser welding apparatus 2, the laser welding process is controlled by the control device 3. In the ultrasonic inspection apparatus 1, the defect detection process (flaw detection process) is controlled by the control device 3. The laser welding apparatus 2 and the ultrasonic inspection apparatus 1 are rotationally driven in the Ar direction around the rotation axis AR by the driving device 4.

  In this embodiment, the inspection object A is an object to be welded. The object A to be welded is rotated around the rotation axis, and in accordance with this rotation, the laser welding apparatus 2 performs laser welding, and the ultrasonic inspection apparatus 1 performs non-contact inspection (flaw detection) using a laser ultrasonic method. For this reason, the laser welding part We is comprised as a welding line which comprises a linear form.

  In the present embodiment, the high-pressure fuel supply pump 100 is described as the object to be welded (inspected object) A, but it may be a fuel injection valve or the like. Further, it is not always necessary to configure the in-process inspection apparatus, and welding and inspection may be performed separately, or the ultrasonic inspection apparatus 1 that performs only inspection may be configured. However, an in-process inspection apparatus is configured using the ultrasonic inspection apparatus 1 and inspection is performed while welding is performed. By re-welding when a defect is found, the occurrence of a defective product can be prevented in advance. Productivity can be improved.

  FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing a configuration of an in-process inspection apparatus 1000 that combines the ultrasonic inspection apparatus 1 and the laser welding apparatus 2 according to the present invention.

  The in-process inspection apparatus 1000 includes an ultrasonic inspection apparatus 1, a laser welding apparatus 2, and a control apparatus 3.

  The laser welding apparatus 2 is a welding apparatus that performs laser welding on the high-pressure fuel supply pump 100 that is an object (workpiece) A to be welded. In this embodiment, the laser welding apparatus 2 shows an example in which the pump body 101 and the damper cover 111 are welded. The pump main body 101 and the damper cover 111 constitute a lap joint, and the laser LaW is irradiated from the damper cover 111 side. The object A to be welded is rotated about the rotation axis AR. Therefore, the welded portion constitutes a weld line extending in the circumferential direction around the rotation axis AR.

  In the present embodiment, the welding target A is rotated, but the laser welding apparatus 2 may be rotated around the rotation axis AR. When the laser welding apparatus 2 is rotated around the rotation axis AR, the ultrasonic inspection apparatus 1 is also rotated around the rotation axis AR. That is, the drive device 4 is configured to relatively displace (relatively move) the ultrasonic inspection device 1, the laser welding device 2, and the welding target A in the direction along the welding line We.

  As the welding apparatus, an apparatus using a welding method other than laser welding can also be used. However, the ultrasonic inspection apparatus 1 according to the present embodiment exhibits excellent flaw detection performance with respect to a welding method in which the welding depth is deeper than the line width of the welding line We, such as laser welding. It works more effectively as the welding depth becomes deeper than the width.

  The ultrasonic inspection apparatus 1 includes a generation laser irradiation unit (first laser irradiation unit) 11 for irradiating a welding target (inspected target) A with a generation laser (first laser) LaT that generates ultrasonic waves, a surface A receiving laser irradiation unit (second laser irradiation unit) 12 for irradiating a receiving laser (second laser) LaR for detecting displacement Di, interferometer side units 13B and 13C, and a data recording / analyzing device 14 Prepare.

  The generation laser irradiation unit 11 includes a generation laser light source (first laser light source) 11A, a generation laser optical system for longitudinal waves (first laser optical system for longitudinal waves) 11B, and a generation laser optical system for transverse waves (first laser optical for transverse waves). System) 11C. The reception laser irradiation unit 12 includes a reception laser light source (second laser light source) 12A, a reception laser optical system for longitudinal waves (second laser optical system for longitudinal waves) 12B, and a reception laser optical system for transverse waves (second laser optics for transverse waves). System) 12C.

  The generation laser light source 11A generates a generation laser LaT. The generation laser optical system 11B for longitudinal waves and the generation laser optical system 11C for transverse waves are optical systems for irradiating the welding target A with the generation laser LaT, and are composed of optical components such as a lens, a reflecting mirror, and an optical fiber. The In this embodiment, the generation laser optical system 11B for longitudinal waves and the generation laser optical system 11C for transverse waves irradiate the welding target A with the generated laser LaT generated by the generated laser light source 11A which is a common laser light source. A configuration may be adopted in which individual generation laser light sources 11A are provided in each of the longitudinal wave generation laser optical system 11B and the transverse wave generation laser optical system 11C.

  The reception laser light source 12A generates a reception laser LaR. The longitudinal wave receiving laser optical system 12B and the transverse wave receiving laser optical system 12C are optical systems for irradiating the welding target A with the receiving laser LaR, and collect reflected light and scattered light from the irradiation point of the receiving laser LaR. It is an optical system that emits light. The longitudinal wave receiving laser optical system 12B and the transverse wave receiving laser optical system 12C are configured by optical components such as a lens, a reflecting mirror, and an optical fiber. In this embodiment, the longitudinal wave receiving laser optical system 12B and the transverse wave receiving laser optical system 12C irradiate the welding target A with the receiving laser LaT generated by the receiving laser light source 12A which is a common laser light source. A configuration may be adopted in which individual reception laser light sources 12A are provided in each of the longitudinal wave reception laser optical system 12B and the transverse wave reception laser optical system 12C.

  As the generation laser light source 11 </ b> A and the reception laser light source 12 </ b> A, various known laser light sources as described in Patent Document 1 can be used.

  The interferometer side parts 13B and 13C include an interferometer, and perform interference measurement using reflected light and scattered light from the irradiation point of the reception laser LaR. The reflected light and scattered light are affected by the surface displacement Di of the workpiece A to be welded by the ultrasonic wave UT. For this reason, the ultrasonic signals 13Bs and 13Cs including the information on the defect De can be detected by detecting the surface displacement Di of the workpiece A by interference measurement. Interferometer side parts 13B and 13C output ultrasonic signals 13Bs and 13Cs obtained by the interference measurement as electric signals. The ultrasonic signals 13Bs and 13Cs output from the interferometer side portions 13B and 13C are recorded as ultrasonic signal data in the data recording / analyzing device 14, and information on the defect De is analyzed based on the ultrasonic signal data.

  The interferometer side unit 13B constitutes a first interference measurement unit (longitudinal wave interference measurement unit) that performs interference measurement of the longitudinal wave WL and outputs the ultrasonic signal 13Bs. The interferometer side unit 13C constitutes a second interference measurement unit (a transverse wave interference measurement unit) that performs interference measurement of the transverse wave WT and outputs the ultrasonic signal 13Cs.

  In the information analysis of the defect De, the position of the defect De is specified based on the irradiation positions of the generation laser LaT and the reception laser LaR corresponding to the ultrasonic signals 13Bs and 1Cs. The position of the defect De is specified as a circumferential position along the weld line We. In order to specify the circumferential position along the weld line We, a circumferential reference position is set for the welding target A. This reference position may be set to an arbitrary structure provided on the welding target A, or may be set regardless of the structure of the welding target A. For example, in the case of a high-pressure fuel supply pump, as an arbitrary structure for setting the reference position, the intake valve mechanism 114, the discharge joint 116, etc. (see FIG. 13) can be used.

  Further, in this embodiment, details will be described later, but a defect De at a shallow position in the welding depth direction is detected by a longitudinal wave, and a defect De at a deep position is detected by a transverse wave. For this reason, it is possible to relatively distinguish the defect De at the shallow position from the defect De at the deep position. The depth information of the defect De may be recorded in the data recording / analyzing device 14.

  The content described in Patent Document 1 can be applied to the detection principle of the defect De using laser ultrasonic waves. Although Patent Document 2 is different from the present embodiment in that no laser is used, the content described in Patent Document 2 can be applied to the detection principle of the defect De using ultrasonic waves.

  Next, an ultrasonic inspection method using a laser according to the present invention will be specifically described with reference to FIGS. 4A, 4B, and 5 to 11.

  FIG. 4A is a diagram showing the directivity of ultrasonic waves generated by laser irradiation, and is a diagram showing the directivity in the thermoelastic mode. FIG. 4B is a diagram showing the directivity of ultrasonic waves generated by laser irradiation, and is a diagram showing the directivity in the ablation mode.

  The thermoelastic mode is a mode that occurs when the laser irradiation energy is low, and the ablation mode is a mode that occurs when the laser irradiation energy is high. Even when a contact type sensor that is not a laser ultrasonic type is used, the directivity of the ultrasonic wave has the same directivity as in FIG. 4B.

  In this embodiment, the thermoelastic mode is used. In the thermoelastic mode, the ultrasonic transverse wave WT generated when laser irradiation is performed has a directivity DR1 in a direction inclined by 30 ° with respect to an axis line (0 ° axis) along the irradiation direction. The longitudinal wave WL has directivity DR2 in a direction inclined by 65 ° with respect to an axis line (0 ° axis) along the irradiation direction. The directivity DR1 of the transverse wave WT is different from the directivity DR2 of the longitudinal wave WL. Due to the difference between the directivities DR1 and DR2, the transmission path of the transverse wave WT and the transmission path of the longitudinal wave WL are different. In the present embodiment, the defect De existing at different depths of the welded portion We is detected by using the difference between the directivities DR1 and DR2 of the transverse wave WT and the longitudinal wave WL (difference in propagation path).

  On the other hand, in the ablation mode, the directivity DR1 ′ and DR2 ′ are expanded with respect to the thermoelastic mode, and the defect De using the difference between the directivity DR1 ′ and DR2 ′ of the transverse wave WT and the longitudinal wave WL (difference in propagation path). Is difficult to detect.

  FIG. 5 is a conceptual diagram illustrating the ultrasonic inspection method according to the present embodiment, and is a diagram illustrating the characteristics of the ultrasonic inspection method using the transverse wave WT.

  FIG. 5 shows a state in which the first member 201 and the second member 202 are joined by a welded portion We by laser welding in a state where a lap joint is formed. The first member 201 and the second member 202 are laser welded in a state where the surface 201A of the first member 201 and the surface 202A of the second member 202 are pressure-bonded, and the first member 201 and the second member 202 are bonded. A boundary surface SB is formed between the two.

  Laser welding is performed by irradiating laser from the first member 201 side. The welded portion We forms a linear weld line. FIG. 5 shows a cross section perpendicular to the weld line We. In the welded portion We of the present embodiment, the weld depth D_We is formed larger than the line width ΔWe of the weld line We. In this case, the line width ΔWe of the welding line We is a line width that appears on the surface of the first member 201. In this embodiment, the thickness dimension of the first member 201 is 1.2 mm, and the line width ΔWe of the welding line We is formed to be 1.0 mm or less, which is smaller than the thickness dimension of the first member 201. Further, the width ΔWe_SB of the melted portion We in the boundary surface SB is not more than half (½ or less) of the line width ΔWe, and is formed to be 0.5 mm or less.

  The transverse wave generation laser LaTT for generating the transverse wave WT is irradiated to the transverse wave generation laser irradiation position PTT located on one side of the welding line We across the welding line We. The transverse wave generation laser LaTT irradiated to the transverse wave generation laser irradiation position PTT generates a transverse wave WT of the ultrasonic wave UT. The transverse wave WT propagates in a direction inclined by 30 ° with respect to the laser irradiation axis Ax_LaTT, is reflected by the defect De2, and propagates to the detection position (lateral laser receiving laser irradiation position) PRT located on the other side of the welding line We. To do. The detection position PRT is irradiated with the transverse wave receiving laser LaRT, and a minute displacement Di (see FIG. 1) generated at the detection position PRT is detected.

  The transverse wave generation laser LaTT is irradiated to the transverse wave generation laser irradiation position PTT that is separated from the center (center line) C_We in the width direction of the welding line We by a distance ltt in a direction orthogonal to the welding line We. The transverse wave receiving laser LaRT is irradiated to the transverse wave receiving laser irradiation position separated from the center (center line) C_We in the width direction of the welding line We by a distance lrt in a direction orthogonal to the welding line We.

  FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating a range in which the defect De can be detected by the transverse wave WT and a range in which the detection is difficult. FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating a time change of the ultrasonic signal due to the transverse wave WT.

  In detection by the transverse wave WT, it is possible to detect the defect De2 at the depth of the boundary surface SB and the defect De1 at a position deeper than the boundary surface SB. This is because a difference appears in the time domain II of the ultrasonic signal (from 0.9 μs, more specifically from 0.9 to 1.2 μs) depending on whether there is a defect De1, De2 or no defect De. .

  In FIG. 7, the ultrasonic signal 13Cs1 when the defect De1 located deeper than the boundary surface SB and the defect De3 located shallower than the boundary surface SB exist, and the ultrasonic signal 13Cs2 when no defect De exists. Is expressed conceptually.

  The ultrasonic signal 13Cs1 has a peak PkWS caused by the surface wave WS, a peak PkDe1 caused by the defect De1, and a peak PkDe3 caused by the defect De3. The peak PkWS generated by the surface wave WS and the peak PkDe3 generated by the defect De3 exist in the time domain I (before 0.9 μs), and the peak PkWS and the peak PkDe3 are difficult to distinguish from each other. On the other hand, the peak PkDe1 generated by the defect De1 exists in the time domain II (0.9 μs or later), and the peak PkWS and the peak PkDe1 can be distinguished. Even when there is a defect De2 at the depth of the boundary surface SB, a peak occurs in the time domain II (0.9 μs or later), and the peak due to the defect De2 can be distinguished from the peak PkWS.

  Therefore, the defect De2 at the depth of the boundary surface SB and the defect De1 at a position deeper than the boundary surface SB can be detected by the transverse wave WT. On the other hand, it is difficult to detect the defect De3 located at a position shallower than the boundary surface SB by the transverse wave WT.

  In order to detect the defects De1 and De2 distributed deep from the boundary surface SB, it is preferable to change the generated laser irradiation position PTT for transverse waves and the received laser irradiation position PRT for transverse waves in a direction orthogonal to the welding line We.

  FIG. 8 is a conceptual diagram for explaining the ultrasonic inspection method according to the present embodiment, and shows the features of the ultrasonic inspection method using the longitudinal wave WL.

  The welding target A in FIG. 8 is welded in the same manner as in FIG.

  A longitudinal wave generation laser LaTL for generating a longitudinal wave WL is irradiated to a longitudinal wave generation laser irradiation position PTL located on one side of the welding line We across the welding line We. The longitudinal wave generation laser LaTL irradiated to the longitudinal wave generation laser irradiation position PTL generates a longitudinal wave WL of the ultrasonic wave UT. The longitudinal wave WL propagates in a direction inclined by 65 ° with respect to the laser irradiation axis Ax_LaTL, is reflected by the defect De2, and is detected at the detection position (vertical wave receiving laser irradiation position) PRL located on the other side of the welding line We. Propagate. The detection position PRL is irradiated with a longitudinal wave reception laser LaRL, and a minute displacement Di (see FIG. 1) generated at the detection position PRL is detected.

  The longitudinal wave generation laser LaTL is applied to the longitudinal wave generation laser irradiation position PTL separated from the center (center line) C_We in the width direction of the welding line We by a distance ltl in a direction orthogonal to the welding line We. The longitudinal wave reception laser LaRL is irradiated to the longitudinal wave reception laser irradiation position PRL which is separated from the center (center line) C_We in the width direction of the welding line We by a distance lrl in a direction orthogonal to the welding line We. In this case, the interval ltl is larger than the interval ltt, and the interval lrl is larger than the interval lrt. That is, the longitudinal wave generating laser LaTL is irradiated to a position away from the center (center line) C_We of the welding line We with respect to the transverse wave generating laser LaTT, and the longitudinal wave receiving laser LaRL is irradiated with respect to the transverse wave receiving laser LaRT. Irradiated to a position away from the center (center line) C_We of the welding line We. For this reason, the longitudinal wave generation laser LaTL and the longitudinal wave reception laser LaRL are irradiated from the outside of the transverse wave generation laser LaTT and the transverse wave reception laser LaRT.

  FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating a range in which the defect De can be detected by the longitudinal wave WL and a range in which the detection is difficult. FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating a time change of the ultrasonic signal due to the longitudinal wave WL.

  In the detection by the longitudinal wave WL, the defect De2 at the depth of the boundary surface SB and the defect De3 at a position shallower than the boundary surface SB can be detected. This is because there is a difference in the time domain I of the ultrasonic signal (before 0.9 μs, more specifically 0.6 to 0.9 μs) between when there is a defect De2 and De3 and when there is no defect De. .

  In FIG. 10, the ultrasonic signal 13Bs1 when the defect De1 located deeper than the boundary surface SB and the defect De3 located shallower than the boundary surface SB exist, and the ultrasonic signal 13Bs2 when no defect De exists. Is expressed conceptually.

  The ultrasonic signal 13Bs1 has a peak PkWS caused by the surface wave WS and a peak PkDe3 caused by the defect De3. Since the longitudinal wave WL propagates in a direction inclined by 65 ° with respect to the laser irradiation axis Ax_LaTL, it is reflected by the boundary surface SB and it is difficult to enter a position deeper than the depth of the boundary surface SB. For this reason, the longitudinal wave WL cannot detect the defect De1 distributed at a position deeper than the depth of the boundary surface SB.

  The peak PkWS generated by the surface wave WS appears in the time domain II (from 0.9 μs, more specifically from 0.9 to 1.2 μs). On the other hand, the peak PkDe3 caused by the defect De3 appears in the time domain I, and the peak PkWS and the peak PkDe1 can be distinguished. When there is a defect De2 at the depth of the boundary surface SB, a peak is generated in the time domain II (after 0.9 μs), but is shifted from the peak PkWS at a time earlier than the peak PkWS, so the peak due to the defect De2 is the peak PkWS. And can be distinguished.

  Therefore, the defect De2 at the depth of the boundary surface SB and the defect De3 at a position shallower than the boundary surface SB can be detected by the longitudinal wave WL. On the other hand, it is difficult to detect the defect De1 located deeper than the boundary surface SB by the longitudinal wave WL.

  In addition, in order to detect the defects De2 and De3 distributed in shallow positions from the boundary surface SB, the longitudinal wave generation laser irradiation position PTL and the longitudinal wave reception laser irradiation position PRL are changed in a direction orthogonal to the welding line We. Good.

  FIG. 11 is a conceptual diagram showing a laser ultrasonic inspection method according to the present invention using both the transverse wave WT and the longitudinal wave WL.

  The cross-sectional shape of the welded portion We of this embodiment has a narrow cross-sectional shape in which the width ΔWe is small and the length D_We in the depth direction is large. For this narrow cross-sectional shape, the ultrasonic detection method of the present embodiment detects the defect De3 at a position shallower than the boundary surface SB by the longitudinal wave WL and detects the defect De1 at a position deeper than the boundary surface SB. Detect with transverse wave ultrasonic WT. The defect De2 at the depth of the boundary surface SB may be detected by either the longitudinal wave ultrasonic wave WL or the transverse wave ultrasonic wave WT, or by both the longitudinal wave ultrasonic wave WL and the transverse wave ultrasonic wave WT.

  For this purpose, the longitudinal wave generation laser LaTL and the longitudinal wave reception laser LaRL are irradiated from the outside of the transverse wave generation laser LaTT and the transverse wave reception laser LaRT. That is, the transverse wave generation laser irradiation position PTT and the transverse wave reception laser irradiation position PRT are located on the inner side (closer to the welding line We) than the longitudinal wave generation laser irradiation position PTL and the longitudinal wave reception laser irradiation position PRL. The longitudinal-wave generating laser irradiation position PTL and the longitudinal-wave receiving laser irradiation position PRL are located on the outer side (side away from the welding line We) with respect to the transverse-wave generating laser irradiation position PTT and the transverse-wave receiving laser irradiation position PRT. To be provided.

  In the present embodiment, the longitudinal wave generating laser LaTL and the longitudinal wave receiving laser LaRL are respectively irradiated at different positions in the direction orthogonal to the welding line We. Thereby, the defect De can be detected without receiving the influence (noise) of the surface wave.

  Note that both longitudinal wave WL and transverse wave (not shown) ultrasonic waves are generated at the irradiation position PTL of the longitudinal wave generation laser LaTL (see FIG. 8) by the longitudinal wave generation laser optical system 11B. In the longitudinal wave receiving laser optical system 12B and the interferometer 13B, the longitudinal wave and the transverse wave generated by the irradiation of the longitudinal wave generating laser LaTL from the longitudinal wave generating laser optical system 11B are used to detect the defect De using the longitudinal wave WL. Detection is performed. In addition, ultrasonic waves of both a longitudinal wave (not shown) and a transverse wave WT are generated at the irradiation position PTT of the transverse wave generation laser LaTT (see FIG. 5) by the transverse wave generation laser optical system 11C. In the transverse wave receiving laser optical system 12C and the interferometer 13C, the defect De is detected by using the transverse wave WT among the longitudinal wave and the transverse wave generated by the irradiation of the transverse laser generating laser LaTT from the transverse wave generating laser optical system 11C. .

  In this embodiment, the longitudinal wave WL is used in addition to the transverse wave WT by utilizing the directivity characteristic of the laser ultrasonic wave. By using the transverse wave WT and the longitudinal wave WL in combination, it is possible to reliably inspect the upper and lower regions including the boundary surface SB. The transverse wave WT of the laser ultrasonic wave has directivity in a direction of about 30 degrees, and the transverse wave generation laser LaTT and the transverse wave reception laser LaRT are arranged at transmission / reception positions determined by the directivity (directivity angle 30 °) and the plate thickness of the first member 201. Irradiate. The longitudinal wave WL of the laser ultrasonic wave has directivity in a direction of about 65 degrees, and the longitudinal wave generation laser LaTL and the longitudinal wave are at the transmission / reception position determined by the directivity (directivity angle 65 °) and the plate thickness of the first member 201. The receiving laser LaRL is irradiated.

  That is, the position of the defect De3 at a position shallower than the boundary surface SB can be detected based on the directivity angle (65 °) of the longitudinal wave WL. Further, the position of the defect De1 at a position deeper than the boundary surface SB can be detected based on the directivity angle (30 °) of the transverse ultrasonic wave WT.

  In this embodiment, the welded portion We that forms the weld bead constitutes a linear weld line, and the line width ΔWe of the weld line We has a narrow cross-sectional shape that is smaller than the thickness dimension of the first member 201. We are formed. In the present embodiment, by using the transverse wave WT and the longitudinal wave WL in combination, the defect De existing in the upper and lower regions including the boundary surface SB can be reliably inspected.

  In this embodiment, the longitudinal wave WL is propagated from the longitudinal wave generation laser irradiation position PTL to the defect De3 at a position shallower than the boundary surface SB without being reflected by the boundary surface SB. The transverse wave ultrasonic wave WT propagates from the transverse wave generation laser irradiation position PTT to the defect De1 at a position deeper than the boundary surface SB without being reflected by the boundary surface SB. For this reason, it is not necessary to consider a complicated propagation path related to reflection, and the positions of the defects De1, De2, and De3 can be easily calculated.

  FIG. 12 is a conceptual diagram showing an irradiation state of the longitudinal wave generation laser LaTL, the longitudinal wave reception laser LaRL, the transverse wave generation laser LaTT, and the transverse wave reception laser LaRT.

  In the present embodiment, the longitudinal wave generation laser LaTL and the transverse wave generation laser LaTT are irradiated so as to form a linear focal point having a longitudinal direction in the direction along the welding line We, and the longitudinal wave reception laser LaRL and the transverse wave reception are obtained. The laser LaRT is irradiated so as to form a point-like focus. In this case, as shown in FIG. 12, the longitudinal wave ultrasonic wave WL and the transverse wave ultrasonic wave WT propagate in a narrowed range with respect to the length of the line-shaped focal point in the direction along the welding line We.

  In this embodiment, the focal point arrangement described above allows the point-like focal point of the longitudinal wave receiving laser LaRL and the point-like focal point of the transverse wave receiving laser LaRT to be arranged close to each other, thereby making the apparatus compact. it can.

For this purpose, in step S1, welding data is set based on the welding specification data. As the welding specification data, data such as a welding position and laser power of laser welding are set in the control device 3.

  The control device 3 controls the laser welding device 2 on the basis of the welding data to perform laser welding on the welding target A, and executes an inspection of the welded portion We by the ultrasonic inspection device 1. That is, the ultrasonic inspection process S3 is performed while performing the laser welding process S2. With the execution of the ultrasonic inspection step S3, the presence or absence of a defect De in the welded portion We is determined in step S4. When the presence of the defect De is determined, the welding data is corrected and the laser welding process S2 is repeated. The ultrasonic inspection process S3 is also executed when the laser welding process S2 is re-executed.

  The determination of the presence or absence of the defect De in step S4 may be performed when the laser welding process S2 is completed, or may be performed during the execution of the laser welding process S2.

  In this embodiment, laser welding by the laser welding apparatus 2 and ultrasonic inspection by the ultrasonic inspection apparatus 1 can be performed at the same time. If there is a defect in laser welding, the defect is detected by the ultrasonic inspection apparatus 1. Immediate detection and re-welding can improve the yield of the high-pressure fuel supply pump 100 in the manufacturing process.
