A laser welded portion includes a first welding portion which is welded by laser welding of galvano method and a second welding portion which is welded by laser welding of flash method or laser welding of scanning method.
Claims7
A resin molded product comprising:
- a first member;
- and
- a second member that is laser welded to the first member at a laser welded portion therebetween,
- wherein the laser welded portion includes:
- a first welding portion formed by laser welding using a galvano method, and
- a second welding portion formed by laser welding using a flash method or a scanning method,
- wherein the flash method comprises emitting a laser beam from each of a plurality of laser heads arranged along a welding surface onto the second welding portion,
- wherein the scanning method comprises emitting a laser beam from a laser head that moves along the second welding portion,
- wherein the second member comprises:
- a translucent member including:
- a first leg portion having a first height, and
- a second leg portion having a second height that is greater than the first height,
- wherein the first welding portion is provided on the first leg portion,
- wherein the second welding portion is provided on the second leg portion,
- wherein the first member is a lamp body,
- wherein the second member is a translucent front cover welded to an opening of the lamp body at the laser welded portion, and
- wherein the front cover comprises first and second leg portions that are disposed at a periphery of the front cover, and that are welded to the lamp body,
- the resin molded product further comprising:
- another lamp body arranged adjacently to the lamp body, and
- another translucent front cover that is arranged adjacently to the front cover, and that is laser welded to another opening of the another lamp body at another laser welded portion therebetween,
- wherein the another laser welded portion includes:
- a third welding portion formed by laser welding using the galvano method, and
- a fourth welding portion formed by laser welding using the flash method or the scanning method,
- wherein the another front cover comprises third and fourth leg portions that are disposed at a periphery of the another front cover, and that are welded to the lamp body, and
- wherein the second leg portion faces the fourth leg portion, and has a height greater than the first leg portion.

- wherein the scanning method comprises emitting a laser beam from a laser head that moves along the second welding portion,
- wherein the first member is a lamp body,
- wherein the second member is a translucent front cover welded to an opening of the lamp body at the laser welded portion, and
- wherein the front cover comprises first and second leg portions that are disposed at a periphery of the front cover, and that are welded to the lamp body,
- the resin molded product further comprising:
- another lamp body arranged adjacently to the lamp body, and
- another translucent front cover that is arranged adjacently to the front cover, and that is laser welded to another opening of the another lamp body at another laser welded portion therebetween,
- wherein the another laser welded portion includes:
- a third welding portion formed by laser welding using the galvano method, and
- a fourth welding portion formed by laser welding using the flash method or the scanning method,
- wherein the another front cover comprises third and fourth leg portions that are disposed at a periphery of the another front cover, and that are welded to the lamp body, and
- wherein the second leg portion faces the fourth leg portion, and has a height greater than the first leg portion.
