以下、本発明の第1実施形態を図1〜図4を参照しながら説明する。図1に示すように、樹脂製燃料タンク5は、タンク本体10と、通路構成部材20と、2つ(複数)の燃料カットバルブ30(付属部品)とを備えている。   Hereinafter, a first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. As shown in FIG. 1, the resin fuel tank 5 includes a tank body 10, a passage component member 20, and two (plural) fuel cut valves 30 (accessory parts).

上記タンク本体10は、POM(ポリアセタール)を射出成形した単層構造の上部半体11と下部半体12とで構成されている。これら半体11、12は、その周縁において射出樹脂により一体化されている。   The tank body 10 includes an upper half 11 and a lower half 12 having a single-layer structure in which POM (polyacetal) is injection-molded. These half bodies 11 and 12 are integrated by injection resin in the periphery.

上記通路構成部材20もPOMの単層構造の射出成形品からなり、図4に示すように、直線状に延びる細長い中空の本体部21と、この本体部21の全周にわたって張り出した均一厚の平板状をなす鍔部22と、本体部21の例えば中央に形成された継手部23とを備えている。   The passage component member 20 is also made of an injection-molded product having a single layer structure of POM. As shown in FIG. 4, as shown in FIG. 4, an elongated hollow main body portion 21 extending linearly and a uniform thickness projecting over the entire circumference of the main body portion 21. A flat plate-like flange portion 22 and a joint portion 23 formed at the center of the main body portion 21 are provided.

上記通路構成部材20の鍔部22の縁は、本体部21の延び方向に直線的に延び、本体部21の両端部では、半円形をなしている。上記鍔部22の縁は全周にわたって上部半体11の上壁11aに一体をなして射出溶着されている。なお、後述する射出溶着工程の前の状態では、鍔部22の縁は全周にわたって2股の先細の薄肉部22aを有しているが、射出溶着時にこの薄肉部22aは溶融し、射出樹脂と一体化される。図4に示す射出溶着後の状態では薄肉部22aは存在しないが、理解を容易にするためにこの薄肉部22aを示している。   An edge of the flange portion 22 of the passage constituting member 20 extends linearly in the extending direction of the main body portion 21, and both ends of the main body portion 21 are semicircular. The edge of the flange portion 22 is injection welded integrally with the upper wall 11a of the upper half 11 over the entire circumference. In addition, in the state before the injection welding process to be described later, the edge of the collar portion 22 has a bifurcated tapered thin portion 22a over the entire circumference, but at the time of injection welding, the thin portion 22a is melted and injected resin. And integrated. Although the thin portion 22a does not exist in the state after injection welding shown in FIG. 4, the thin portion 22a is shown for easy understanding.

上記通路構成部材20の本体部21は、本体部21の長手方向に延びる通路25を有している。上記継手23は連通穴26を有し、この連通穴26は上記通路25の中央に連なっている。また、上記本体部21の底壁の両端部にはネジ穴27が形成されており、このネジ穴27は上記通路25の両端またはその近傍に連なっている。   The main body 21 of the passage component member 20 has a passage 25 extending in the longitudinal direction of the main body 21. The joint 23 has a communication hole 26, and the communication hole 26 is connected to the center of the passage 25. Further, screw holes 27 are formed at both ends of the bottom wall of the main body portion 21, and the screw holes 27 are continuous with both ends of the passage 25 or in the vicinity thereof.

上記燃料カットバルブ30は、上記通路構成部材20の両端部に取り付けられている。この燃料カットバルブ30は、POMの単層構造の射出成形品からなる本体31を有している。この本体31は収容空間32を有しており、その上壁の中央には雄ネジ部33が突出して形成されている。この雄ネジ部33には弁口34が形成されている。この雄ネジ部33を通路構成部材20のネジ穴27にねじ込むことにより、燃料カットバルブ30は通路構成部材20に取り付けられている。   The fuel cut valve 30 is attached to both ends of the passage component member 20. The fuel cut valve 30 has a main body 31 made of an injection molded product having a single layer structure of POM. The main body 31 has an accommodating space 32, and a male screw portion 33 projects from the center of the upper wall. A valve port 34 is formed in the male screw portion 33. The fuel cut valve 30 is attached to the passage component member 20 by screwing the male screw portion 33 into the screw hole 27 of the passage component member 20.

上記バルブ30の本体31は、その上壁と面一をなす円形の鍔部35を有している。この鍔部35は均一厚さの平板状をなし、上記通路構成部材20の鍔部22の端部の半円と同径をなしている。   The main body 31 of the valve 30 has a circular flange 35 that is flush with the upper wall thereof. The flange 35 has a flat plate shape with a uniform thickness, and has the same diameter as the semicircle at the end of the flange 22 of the passage constituting member 20.

上記バルブ30の取り付け状態において、バルブ30の鍔部35は、通路構成部材20の鍔部22の端部と面接触状態で重ね合わされており、その鍔部35の周縁の半周部分が鍔部22の端部周縁と一致している。   In the attached state of the valve 30, the flange portion 35 of the valve 30 is overlapped with the end portion of the flange portion 22 of the passage constituting member 20 in a surface contact state, and the half circumference portion of the peripheral edge of the flange portion 35 is the flange portion 22. Is coincident with the peripheral edge.

上記バルブ30の鍔部35の周縁は、通路構成部材20の鍔部22と同様に、全周にわたって上部半体11の上壁11aに一体をなして射出溶着されている。後述する射出溶着工程の前の状態では、鍔部35の周縁は全周にわたって2股の先細の薄肉部35aを有しているが、射出溶着時にこの薄肉部35aが溶融し、射出樹脂と一体化される。図4に示す射出溶着後の状態では薄肉部35aは存在しないが、理解を容易にするためにこの薄肉部35aを示している。   The peripheral edge of the flange portion 35 of the valve 30 is injection-welded integrally with the upper wall 11a of the upper half 11 over the entire periphery, like the flange portion 22 of the passage component member 20. In the state before the injection welding process to be described later, the peripheral edge of the collar portion 35 has a bifurcated tapered thin-walled portion 35a over the entire circumference, but this thin-walled portion 35a is melted at the time of injection welding and integrated with the injection resin. It becomes. Although the thin part 35a does not exist in the state after the injection welding shown in FIG. 4, the thin part 35a is shown for easy understanding.

上記バルブ30の本体31の底壁には連通穴(図示しない)が形成されている。本体31の収容空間32内には、フロート弁とコイルスプリングを含むバルブ構造(図示しない)が収容されている。後述するタンク本体10への装着状態では、フロート弁はその自重によりコイルスプリングを圧縮して下方位置にあり、これにより弁口34を開き、タンク本体10内のガス圧を逃がす。タンク本体10の燃料が連通穴を経て収容空間32に入り込んできた時には、フロート弁が浮力により弁口34を閉じ、燃料の流出を禁じる。   A communication hole (not shown) is formed in the bottom wall of the main body 31 of the valve 30. A valve structure (not shown) including a float valve and a coil spring is accommodated in the accommodating space 32 of the main body 31. When mounted on the tank main body 10 to be described later, the float valve compresses the coil spring by its own weight and is in the lower position, thereby opening the valve port 34 and releasing the gas pressure in the tank main body 10. When the fuel in the tank body 10 enters the accommodation space 32 through the communication hole, the float valve closes the valve port 34 by buoyancy and inhibits the fuel from flowing out.

上記構成において、通路構成部材20の継手部23はチューブ(図示しない)を介してキャニスタに接続されている。タンク本体10内の燃料ガスは、バルブ20,通路構成部材20の通路25,連通穴26を経、さらにチューブを経てキャニスタに送られ、ここで回収される。車体の傾きに伴ないタンク本体10が傾いた時には、下方に位置する燃料カットバルブ2が閉じて燃料流出を阻止するが、上方に位置する燃料カットバルブ2が開いてガス圧を逃がすことができるようになっている。   In the above configuration, the joint portion 23 of the passage component member 20 is connected to the canister via a tube (not shown). The fuel gas in the tank body 10 is sent to the canister through the valve 20, the passage 25 of the passage constituent member 20, the communication hole 26, and further through the tube, and is collected here. When the tank body 10 is tilted as the vehicle body is tilted, the fuel cut valve 2 located below is closed to prevent fuel outflow, but the fuel cut valve 2 located above is opened to allow the gas pressure to escape. It is like that.

上記構成では、図9に示す従来構造と比較して明らかなように、燃料タンク5周りの構造が簡略化される。また、フッ素系樹脂からなるチューブの使用数が減るので、コスト低減を図ることができる。   In the above configuration, the structure around the fuel tank 5 is simplified as apparent from the conventional structure shown in FIG. In addition, since the number of tubes made of fluororesin is reduced, the cost can be reduced.

上記燃料タンク5では、通路構成部材20,バルブ30の本体31hsPOMからなるので、燃料透過を防止することができる。POMは燃料透過防止機能を有する他の樹脂例えばポリアミドに比べて材料コストが低い。しかもこれら部材は単層構造であるので成形コストが低い。   Since the fuel tank 5 includes the passage constituting member 20 and the main body 31hsPOM of the valve 30, fuel permeation can be prevented. POM has a lower material cost than other resins having a fuel permeation preventing function such as polyamide. Moreover, since these members have a single layer structure, the molding cost is low.

次に、上記構成をなす燃料タンク5の製造方法について詳述する。まず、図2に示すように、通路構成部材20の両端部のネジ穴27にバルブ30の雄ネジ部33をねじ込むことにより、通路構成部材20と2つのバルブ30からなる組立体40を得る。   Next, a manufacturing method of the fuel tank 5 having the above configuration will be described in detail. First, as shown in FIG. 2, the male thread portion 33 of the valve 30 is screwed into the screw holes 27 at both ends of the passage component member 20, thereby obtaining the assembly 40 including the passage component member 20 and the two valves 30.

次に、上記組立体40を組み込んでタンク本体10の上部半体11のインサート射出成形を行うと同時に、下部半体12の射出成形を行なう。この射出成形のための金型50について図3を参照しながら説明する。射出成形金型50は、上型51(第1型)と下型52(第2型)とを備えている。なお、図3では上部半体11を成形する部位のみを示し、下部半体12を成形する部位を省略している。   Next, the assembly 40 is incorporated to perform insert injection molding of the upper half 11 of the tank body 10 and simultaneously perform injection molding of the lower half 12. The injection mold 50 will be described with reference to FIG. The injection mold 50 includes an upper mold 51 (first mold) and a lower mold 52 (second mold). In FIG. 3, only the part for forming the upper half 11 is shown, and the part for forming the lower half 12 is omitted.

上型51,下型52は、互いに対峙する成形面51a,52aを有している。上型51の成形面51aには、細長い収容凹部51bが形成され、下型52の成形面52aには、2つの収容凹部52bが形成されている。収容凹部51bの両端部の縁は半円形をなし、収容凹部52bは円形をなしており、これら半円形および円形の径は、鍔部22の端部および鍔部35の径より小さい。また、下型52の成形面52aには、2つの収容凹部52b間において浅くかつ細長い凸部52cが形成されている。この凸部52cの横幅は通路構成部材20の横幅より狭い。   The upper mold 51 and the lower mold 52 have molding surfaces 51a and 52a that face each other. The molding surface 51a of the upper mold 51 is formed with an elongated housing recess 51b, and the molding surface 52a of the lower mold 52 is formed with two housing recesses 52b. The edges of both ends of the housing recess 51b are semicircular, and the housing recess 52b is circular. The diameters of the semicircle and the circle are smaller than the diameter of the end portion of the flange portion 22 and the flange portion 35. In addition, on the molding surface 52a of the lower mold 52, a shallow and elongated convex portion 52c is formed between the two accommodating concave portions 52b. The lateral width of the convex portion 52 c is narrower than the lateral width of the passage component member 20.

上記組立体40を射出成形金型50にセットして上部半体11のインサート成形を行なう。詳述すると、型締め状態で、組立体40の通路構成部材20は上型51の収容凹部51bに収容され、燃料カットバルブ30は、下型52の収容凹部52bに収容される。また、通路構成部材20の鍔部22は、上型51の収容凹部52bの周縁部により全周にわたって押さえられ、燃料カットバルブ30の鍔部35は、下型52の収容凹部52bの周縁部により、全周にわたって押さえられる。下型52の浅い凸部52cは、通路構成部材20の本体部21の下面に当たっている。   The assembly 40 is set in an injection mold 50 and insert molding of the upper half 11 is performed. More specifically, the passage constituting member 20 of the assembly 40 is housed in the housing recess 51 b of the upper mold 51 and the fuel cut valve 30 is housed in the housing recess 52 b of the lower mold 52 in the mold clamping state. Further, the flange portion 22 of the passage constituting member 20 is pressed over the entire periphery by the peripheral edge portion of the accommodation recess 52b of the upper mold 51, and the flange portion 35 of the fuel cut valve 30 is pressed by the peripheral edge portion of the storage recess 52b of the lower die 52. , Pressed all around. The shallow convex portion 52 c of the lower mold 52 is in contact with the lower surface of the main body portion 21 of the passage constituting member 20.

上記セット状態で、成形面51a,52aと通路構成部材20の鍔部22周縁と燃料カットバルブ30の鍔部35周縁とで、薄い成形空間55が形成される。   In the set state, a thin molding space 55 is formed by the molding surfaces 51a, 52a, the periphery of the flange portion 22 of the passage component member 20, and the periphery of the flange portion 35 of the fuel cut valve 30.

次に、上記成形空間55に通路構成部材20および燃料カットバルブ30の本体31と同種の樹脂すなわちPOMを射出することにより、図4に示すように、タンク本体10の上部半体11を成形する。この射出成形の際、射出された溶融樹脂は通路構成部材20の鍔部22および燃料カットバルブ30の鍔部35の周縁薄肉部22a,35aに接してこれを溶かすので、通路構成部材20と燃料カットバルブ30の本体31は、タンク本体10の上部半体11の上壁11aと一体化される(射出溶着される)。   Next, as shown in FIG. 4, the upper half 11 of the tank body 10 is molded by injecting the same kind of resin, that is, POM, into the molding space 55 into the passage constituting member 20 and the main body 31 of the fuel cut valve 30. . In this injection molding, the injected molten resin contacts and melts the peripheral thin portions 22a, 35a of the flange portion 22 of the passage component member 20 and the flange portion 35 of the fuel cut valve 30, so that the passage component member 20 and the fuel are melted. The main body 31 of the cut valve 30 is integrated with the upper wall 11a of the upper half 11 of the tank main body 10 (injection welding).

上記鍔部22,35の周縁部が先細の薄肉部22a,35aをなしているので、熱容量が小さく確実に溶融し、全周にわたり上部半体11と強固に一体化する。通路構成部材20の鍔部22は、上部半体11の上壁11aの外面と面一となって連なり、バルブ30の鍔部35は、上壁11aの内面と面一をなして連なる。   Since the peripheral portions of the flange portions 22 and 35 form tapered thin portions 22a and 35a, the heat capacity is small and the melted portion is reliably melted and firmly integrated with the upper half 11 over the entire circumference. The flange 22 of the passage component member 20 is flush with the outer surface of the upper wall 11a of the upper half 11 and the flange 35 of the valve 30 is flush with the inner surface of the upper wall 11a.

上述のようにしてタンク本体10の上部半体11が射出成形されるが、これと同時に金型50の異なる成形部において下部半体12もPOMにより射出成形される。そして、DSI(ダイ・スライド・インジェクション)方式により、これら上部半体11と下部半体12を二次射出樹脂(POM)で射出溶着することにより、燃料タンク5が完成する。   As described above, the upper half 11 of the tank body 10 is injection-molded. At the same time, the lower half 12 is also injection-molded by POM in different molding parts of the mold 50. Then, the fuel tank 5 is completed by injecting and welding the upper half body 11 and the lower half body 12 with a secondary injection resin (POM) by a DSI (die slide injection) method.
