Description

本発明は、樹脂製燃料タンクに接合される接合パイプや接合バルブ等の樹脂製燃料タンク用接合部品に関するものである。   The present invention relates to a joining part for a resin fuel tank such as a joining pipe and a joining valve joined to the resin fuel tank.

自動車用の樹脂製燃料タンクの口部外周部に接合される接合パイプや接合バルブ等の接合部品としては、最近、樹脂製のものが使用されている。そして、その樹脂製接合部品は、通常、熱板溶着により樹脂製燃料タンクに接合される。   Recently, resin-made parts are used as joint parts such as joint pipes and joint valves joined to the outer periphery of the mouth of a resin fuel tank for automobiles. The resin-made joining component is usually joined to the resin fuel tank by hot plate welding.

上記樹脂製燃料タンクは、燃料の蒸散防止を考慮して、通常、エチレン−ビニルアルコール共重合体(EVOH)等の燃料低透過材料からなる燃料低透過層を組み込んだ多層構造とされ、その最外層には、耐水性,コスト等の理由から、高密度ポリエチレン(HDPE)等が材料として用いられている。   In consideration of prevention of fuel transpiration, the resin fuel tank has a multilayer structure in which a fuel low permeability layer made of a low fuel permeability material such as ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer (EVOH) is usually incorporated. For the outer layer, high density polyethylene (HDPE) or the like is used as a material for reasons such as water resistance and cost.

上記接合パイプ等の接合部品も、ポリアミド12(PA12)等の燃料低透過材料が用いられる。しかしながら、このPA12等は、HDPE等(樹脂製燃料タンクの最外層の材料)に対する溶着力が弱いため、これら両者を単に溶着しただけでは、両者の接合面から燃料が漏れるおそれがある。そこで、図5に示すように、これら両者(接合部品50、樹脂製燃料タンクTの最外層)に対する溶着力が強い変性ポリエチレン等のポリエチレン系樹脂からなる溶着部材60を、上記両者の間に介在させた状態で溶着させたものが提案されている(例えば、特許文献1参照)。
特許第2715870号公報
For the joining parts such as the joining pipe, a low fuel permeation material such as polyamide 12 (PA12) is used. However, since the PA 12 and the like have a weak welding force with respect to HDPE or the like (the material of the outermost layer of the resin fuel tank), there is a possibility that the fuel leaks from the joint surface between both of them simply by welding them. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 5, a welding member 60 made of a polyethylene-based resin such as modified polyethylene having a strong welding power to both of them (joint component 50, the outermost layer of the resin fuel tank T) is interposed between the two. The thing welded in the made state is proposed (for example, refer patent document 1).
Japanese Patent No. 2715870

上記溶着部材60の厚みは、実際には、薄く、物理的に、燃料が透過し難くなっているものの、特にアルコール混合ガソリン等の透過性が強い燃料は、その溶着部材60を透過してしまうという難点がある。すなわち、上記溶着部材60の材料である変性ポリエチレン等のポリエチレン系樹脂は、溶着性に富んでいるものの、耐燃料透過性に劣ることから、その溶着部材60を、燃料が透過し外部に拡散するという難点がある。   Although the thickness of the welding member 60 is actually thin and it is difficult for the fuel to physically permeate, particularly fuel with high permeability such as alcohol-mixed gasoline penetrates the welding member 60. There is a difficulty. That is, polyethylene-based resin such as modified polyethylene, which is a material of the welding member 60, has high weldability, but is poor in fuel permeation resistance. Therefore, the fuel permeates through the welding member 60 and diffuses outside. There is a difficulty.

本発明は、このような事情に鑑みなされたもので、樹脂製燃料タンクの口部外周部との溶着部分において優れた耐燃料透過性および溶着力を奏する樹脂製燃料タンク用接合部品の提供をその目的とする。   The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and provides a joining part for a resin fuel tank that exhibits excellent fuel permeation resistance and welding power at the welded portion with the outer periphery of the mouth of the resin fuel tank. For that purpose.

上記の目的を達成するため、本発明の樹脂製燃料タンク用接合部品は、略筒状の本体部材と、この本体部材の一方の開口縁またはその近傍に設けられ樹脂製燃料タンクの口部の外周部に位置決めされる環状部と、上記樹脂製燃料タンクの口部外周部と上記本体部材の環状部との間に介在させる環状の溶着部材とで構成され、上記本体部材が、下記の(A)からなり、上記環状の溶着部材が、金属箔と、この金属箔の両面に形成された下記の(B)からなる樹脂層とからなる積層材で構成されている。
(A)ポリアミド,ポリエステル,液晶ポリマーおよびポリフェニレンサルファイドからなる群から選ばれた少なくとも一つ。
(B)エチレン−ビニルアルコール共重合体がマトリクス(海)を形成し、変性高密度ポリエチレンがドメイン(島)を形成したアロイ材料。
In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, a joining part for a resin fuel tank according to the present invention includes a substantially cylindrical main body member and an opening of the resin fuel tank provided at or near one opening edge of the main body member. An annular portion positioned on the outer peripheral portion, and an annular welding member interposed between the outer peripheral portion of the mouth of the resin fuel tank and the annular portion of the main body member, and the main body member has the following ( A), the annular welding member is composed of a laminated material including a metal foil and a resin layer made of (B) described below formed on both surfaces of the metal foil.
(A) At least one selected from the group consisting of polyamide, polyester, liquid crystal polymer, and polyphenylene sulfide.
(B) An alloy material in which an ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer forms a matrix (sea) and a modified high-density polyethylene forms a domain (island).

本発明者は、樹脂製燃料タンク用接合部品が樹脂製燃料タンクの口部外周部との溶着部分において優れた耐燃料透過性および溶着力を奏するようにすべく、その樹脂製燃料タンク用接合部品の構成について研究を重ねた。その研究の過程で、樹脂製燃料タンク用接合部品を、燃料低透過材料である上記(A)からなる略筒状の本体部材と、樹脂製燃料タンクとの溶着部分に介在させる溶着部材との別体で構成し、その溶着部材を、両者(本体部材,樹脂製燃料タンク)に対する溶着力が優れたものにするだけでなく、それ自身の耐燃料透過性も優れたものにすることを着想し、その溶着部材の構成について、さらに研究を重ねた。その研究の過程で、上記溶着部材として、燃料低透過材料であるエチレン−ビニルアルコール共重合体(EVOH),樹脂製燃料タンクの最外層の材料(HDPE等)に対する溶着力が強い変性HDPEを、金属箔の表面に形成したサンドイッチ構造の積層材を着想した。しかしながら、上記EVOHや変性HDPEを単独でフィルムにして金属箔と接着させてなる2層構造の積層材では、金属箔と上記EVOH等とが強固に接着しないため、接着力が弱い(10N/cm以下で剥離する)ことがわかった。そして、さらに研究を重ねた。その結果、上記EVOHと変性HDPEとをそれぞれ単独で用いるのではなく、両者を混練し、EVOHがマトリクス(海)を形成し、変性HDPEがドメイン(島)を形成したアロイ材料にすると、これが金属箔と強固に接着することがわかった。すなわち、上記アロイ材料を金属箔の表面に層形成すると、その金属箔とアロイ材料からなる層との接着力は強く(20N/cmでも剥離しない)、その界面から燃料が漏れるおそれがない。しかも、上記アロイ材料は、優れた耐燃料透過性を奏し、さらに、上記略筒状の本体部材の材料である上記(A)および樹脂製燃料タンクの最外層の材料であるHDPE等に対して優れた溶着力を奏することを見出し、本発明に到達した。   The inventor of the present invention has made a joint for a resin fuel tank so that the joint part for the resin fuel tank exhibits excellent fuel permeation resistance and welding force at the welded portion with the outer peripheral portion of the mouth of the resin fuel tank. Researched the composition of parts. In the course of the research, the joining part for the resin fuel tank is composed of a substantially cylindrical main body member made of (A), which is a low fuel permeation material, and a welding member interposed between the welding part of the resin fuel tank. Constructed as a separate unit, the welding member is designed not only to have excellent welding power to both (main body member, resin fuel tank), but also to have its own fuel permeation resistance Further research was conducted on the structure of the welding member. In the course of the research, as the above-mentioned welding member, modified HDPE having strong welding power to the outermost layer material (HDPE or the like) of an ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer (EVOH) which is a low fuel permeation material and a resin fuel tank, The idea was a laminate with a sandwich structure formed on the surface of a metal foil. However, in a laminated material having a two-layer structure in which the above EVOH or modified HDPE is used alone as a film and adhered to a metal foil, the metal foil and the EVOH or the like are not firmly bonded, so the adhesive strength is weak (10 N / cm It was found that it peeled off below. And further research was done. As a result, the EVOH and the modified HDPE are not used alone, but are kneaded together, and the EVOH forms a matrix (sea) and the modified HDPE forms an alloy material (island). It was found to adhere firmly to the foil. That is, when the alloy material is formed on the surface of the metal foil, the adhesive force between the metal foil and the layer made of the alloy material is strong (it does not peel off even at 20 N / cm), and there is no risk of fuel leaking from the interface. Moreover, the alloy material has excellent fuel permeation resistance, and further against the above (A) which is the material of the substantially cylindrical body member and HDPE which is the material of the outermost layer of the resin fuel tank. The present inventors have found that it has excellent welding power and have reached the present invention.

本発明の樹脂製燃料タンク用接合部品は、略筒状の本体部材と、この本体部材の一方の開口縁またはその近傍に設けられ樹脂製燃料タンクの口部の外周部に位置決めされる環状部と、上記樹脂製燃料タンクの口部外周部と上記本体部材の環状部との間に介在させる環状の溶着部材とで構成され、上記本体部材が、上記(A)の燃料低透過材料からなり、上記環状の溶着部材が、金属箔と、この金属箔の両面に形成された上記(B)の特定のアロイ材料からなる樹脂層とからなる積層材で構成されているため、その溶着部材による溶着部分では、優れた耐燃料透過性および溶着力を奏する。   The joint part for a resin fuel tank according to the present invention includes a substantially cylindrical main body member and an annular portion that is provided at or near one opening edge of the main body member and positioned on the outer peripheral portion of the mouth of the resin fuel tank. And an annular welding member interposed between the outer peripheral portion of the mouth of the resin fuel tank and the annular portion of the main body member, and the main body member is made of the fuel low-permeability material of (A). The annular welding member is composed of a laminated material composed of a metal foil and a resin layer made of the specific alloy material (B) formed on both surfaces of the metal foil. The welded portion exhibits excellent fuel permeation resistance and welding power.

特に、上記環状の溶着部材の、上記(B)からなる樹脂層の表面に、変性高密度ポリエチレンからなる被覆層が形成されている場合には、その変性高密度ポリエチレンが遮水性を奏するため、上記(B)の特定のアロイ材料が吸湿するのを防止し、吸湿による溶着力の低下を防止することができる。さらに、上記変性高密度ポリエチレンからなる被覆層を上記(A)からなる本体部材の環状部に当接させた状態で溶着すると、本体部材と溶着部材との溶着力をより高めることができる。   In particular, when a coating layer made of modified high-density polyethylene is formed on the surface of the resin layer made of (B) of the annular welding member, the modified high-density polyethylene exhibits water shielding properties, It is possible to prevent the specific alloy material (B) from absorbing moisture and to prevent a decrease in welding power due to moisture absorption. Further, when the coating layer made of the modified high-density polyethylene is welded in a state where the coating layer is in contact with the annular portion of the main body member made of (A), the welding force between the main body member and the welding member can be further increased.

つぎに、本発明の実施の形態を図面にもとづいて詳しく説明する。但し、本発明は、これに限定されるわけではない。   Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to this.

図1は、本発明の樹脂製燃料タンク用接合部品の第1の実施の形態が樹脂製燃料タンクTの口部Taの外周部に溶着した状態を模式的に示している。この実施の形態では、本発明の樹脂製燃料タンク用接合部品の一例として、燃料ホース(図示せず)を接続する接合パイプについて説明する。この接合パイプは、燃料ホースが外嵌される略円筒状の本体部材1と、この本体部材1を樹脂製燃料タンクTに溶着させる溶着部材2とからなっている。上記本体部材1の下端開口縁近傍の外周部には、樹脂製燃料タンクTの口部Taの外周部に位置決めされる環状部11が一体的に形成されている。そして、上記溶着部材2は、環状に形成され、上記樹脂製燃料タンクTの口部Taの外周部と上記本体部材1の環状部11との間に介在されるようになっている。なお、図1において、符号RはOリングである。また、上記樹脂製燃料タンクTは、通常、外側表面から、HDPE層/変性HDPE層/EVOH層/変性HDPE層/HDPE層の5層構造となっている。   FIG. 1 schematically shows a state where the first embodiment of the joining part for a resin fuel tank of the present invention is welded to the outer peripheral portion of the mouth portion Ta of the resin fuel tank T. FIG. In this embodiment, a joined pipe for connecting a fuel hose (not shown) will be described as an example of a joined part for a resin fuel tank of the present invention. The joint pipe is composed of a substantially cylindrical main body member 1 on which a fuel hose is fitted and a welding member 2 for welding the main body member 1 to a resin fuel tank T. An annular portion 11 positioned integrally with the outer peripheral portion of the mouth portion Ta of the resin fuel tank T is integrally formed on the outer peripheral portion near the lower end opening edge of the main body member 1. The welding member 2 is formed in an annular shape and is interposed between the outer peripheral portion of the mouth portion Ta of the resin fuel tank T and the annular portion 11 of the main body member 1. In FIG. 1, the symbol R is an O-ring. The resin fuel tank T usually has a five-layer structure of HDPE layer / modified HDPE layer / EVOH layer / modified HDPE layer / HDPE layer from the outer surface.

より詳しく説明すると、上記本体部材1は、燃料低透過材料からなっている。この燃料低透過材料としては、ポリアミド(PA),ポリエステル,液晶ポリマー(LCP)およびポリフェニレンサルファイド(PPS)等があげられ、これらは単独でもしくは2種以上併せて用いられる。上記PAとしては、ポリアミド6(PA6),ポリアミド66(PA66),ポリアミド12(PA12),ポリフタルアミド(PPA)等があげられる。上記ポリエステルとしては、ポリブチレンテレフタレート(PBT)やポリブチレンナフタレート(PBN)等があげられる。   More specifically, the main body member 1 is made of a low fuel permeation material. Examples of the low fuel permeation material include polyamide (PA), polyester, liquid crystal polymer (LCP), polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) and the like, and these are used alone or in combination of two or more. Examples of the PA include polyamide 6 (PA6), polyamide 66 (PA66), polyamide 12 (PA12), polyphthalamide (PPA), and the like. Examples of the polyester include polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) and polybutylene naphthalate (PBN).

また、上記本体部材1の燃料低透過材料には、ガラス繊維(GF)を10〜60重量%、好ましくは15〜50重量%充填してもよい。これにより、耐燃料透過性を向上させることができるとともに、外嵌される燃料ホースの緊縛力を維持することができる。さらに、上記本体部材1のうち、上記溶着部材2と当接する環状部11の部分には、プラズマ処理することが好ましい。これにより、上記本体部材1の環状部11と溶着部材2との溶着力を向上させることができる。そして、上記本体部材1の周壁の厚みは、通常、0.5〜5mmの範囲内に設定され、環状部11の厚みは、通常、1〜20mmの範囲内に設定される。   Further, the low-permeability material of the main body member 1 may be filled with glass fiber (GF) in an amount of 10 to 60% by weight, preferably 15 to 50% by weight. As a result, the fuel permeation resistance can be improved, and the binding force of the externally fitted fuel hose can be maintained. Furthermore, it is preferable to perform plasma treatment on the portion of the main body member 1 where the annular portion 11 is in contact with the welding member 2. Thereby, the welding force of the annular portion 11 of the main body member 1 and the welding member 2 can be improved. And the thickness of the surrounding wall of the said main body member 1 is normally set in the range of 0.5-5 mm, and the thickness of the annular part 11 is normally set in the range of 1-20 mm.

上記溶着部材2は、この第1の実施の形態では、5層構造となっており、各層は、上層から順に、変性HDPE層(被覆層)23/アロイ材料層(樹脂層)22/金属箔層21/アロイ材料層(樹脂層)22/変性HDPE層(被覆層)23となっている。   In the first embodiment, the welding member 2 has a five-layer structure, and each layer is, in order from the upper layer, a modified HDPE layer (coating layer) 23 / alloy material layer (resin layer) 22 / metal foil. Layer 21 / alloy material layer (resin layer) 22 / modified HDPE layer (coating layer) 23.

上記金属箔層21の金属箔材料としては、特に限定されないが、例えば、アルミニウム,アルミニウム合金,鉄,ステンレス(SUS304等),銅,銅合金(真鍮,リン青銅を含む),ニッケル,ニッケル合金,チタン,チタン合金等があげられる。これらのなかでも、耐食性の観点から、アルミニウム,ステンレス,銅合金等が好適に用いられる。なお、アロイ材料層22との接着性を向上させるために、例えば、クロメート処理、シボ加工等の接着前処理を施してもよい。そして、金属箔層21の厚みは、特に限定されないが、通常、3〜300μmの範囲内に設定される。   The metal foil material of the metal foil layer 21 is not particularly limited. For example, aluminum, aluminum alloy, iron, stainless steel (SUS304, etc.), copper, copper alloy (including brass and phosphor bronze), nickel, nickel alloy, Examples include titanium and titanium alloys. Among these, aluminum, stainless steel, copper alloy and the like are preferably used from the viewpoint of corrosion resistance. In addition, in order to improve adhesiveness with the alloy material layer 22, you may perform pre-bonding processes, such as a chromate process and a texturing process, for example. And although the thickness of the metal foil layer 21 is not specifically limited, Usually, it sets in the range of 3-300 micrometers.

上記アロイ材料層22のアロイ材料は、EVOHがマトリクス、変性HDPEがドメインを形成(EVOHからなる海相中に、変性HDPEからなる島相が微分散した海島構造を形成)したものとなっている。そして、このアロイ材料層22の厚みは、特に限定されないが、通常、10〜500μmの範囲内に設定される。   The alloy material of the alloy material layer 22 is one in which EVOH is a matrix and modified HDPE forms a domain (a sea-island structure in which island phases composed of modified HDPE are finely dispersed in a sea phase composed of EVOH). . And although the thickness of this alloy material layer 22 is not specifically limited, Usually, it sets to the range of 10-500 micrometers.

上記EVOHとしては、特に限定されないが、アロイ材料成形時の成形性と耐燃料透過性との点から、エチレン共重合比率が25〜50モル%の範囲内のものが好ましく、特に好ましくは30〜45モル%の範囲内のものである。また、上記EVOHとしては、融点が160〜191℃の範囲内のものが好ましく、特に好ましくは165〜185℃の範囲内のものである。   Although it does not specifically limit as said EVOH, From the point of the moldability at the time of alloy material shaping | molding, and a fuel-permeation resistance, the thing in the range whose ethylene copolymerization ratio is 25-50 mol% is preferable, Especially preferably, 30- It is within the range of 45 mol%. The EVOH is preferably one having a melting point in the range of 160 to 191 ° C, particularly preferably in the range of 165 to 185 ° C.

上記変性HDPEの主成分は、マレイン酸無水物残基,マレイン酸基,アクリル酸基,メタクリル酸基,アクリル酸エステル基,メタクリル酸エステル基,酢酸ビニル基,およびアミノ基のいずれか、もしくは2種以上の官能基を有する変性HDPEであることが好ましい。なお、上記主成分とは、全体の過半を占める成分のことをいい、全体が主成分のみからなる場合も含める趣旨である。また、上記変性HDPEは、特に限定されないが、例えば、HDPEに、不飽和カルボン酸および不飽和カルボン酸誘導体の少なくとも一方,またはアミン含有化合物(メチレンジアミン等)等の変性用化合物を、ラジカル開始剤の存在下、グラフト変性することによって得ることができる。   The main component of the modified HDPE is any one of a maleic anhydride residue, a maleic acid group, an acrylic acid group, a methacrylic acid group, an acrylic ester group, a methacrylic ester group, a vinyl acetate group, and an amino group, or 2 A modified HDPE having a functional group of more than one species is preferred. In addition, the said main component means the component which occupies the majority of the whole, and is the meaning including the case where the whole consists only of a main component. Further, the modified HDPE is not particularly limited. For example, at least one of an unsaturated carboxylic acid and an unsaturated carboxylic acid derivative, or a modifying compound such as an amine-containing compound (methylenediamine or the like) is added to the HDPE as a radical initiator. Can be obtained by graft modification.

上記変性HDPEの配合割合は、EVOH100体積部に対して80〜300体積部の範囲内がより好ましい。この理由は、本発明の海島構造の形成の容易化のためと考えられ、上記変性HDPEの配合割合が80体積部を下回ると、金属箔層21や変性HDPE層23に対する接着力が低下する傾向にあり、逆に300体積部を上回ると、耐燃料透過性が悪くなる傾向にあるからである。さらに、上記変性HDPEの変性率は、0.1〜5重量%の範囲内がより好ましい。この理由は、変性率が0.1重量%を下回ると、上記EVOHと変性HDPEとの親和性が悪くなって接着力および耐燃料透過性が劣る傾向にあり、5重量%を上回っても、耐燃料透過性が劣る傾向にあるとともに、混練,成形等の作業環境も悪化する傾向にあるからである。また、上記変性HDPEとしては、融点(ISO 3146)が126〜140℃の範囲内のものが好ましく、特に好ましくは128〜136℃の範囲内のものである。なお、上記変性HDPEにおけるHDPE(高密度ポリエチレン)とは、通常、比重(ISO 1183)が0.93〜0.97、好ましくは0.93〜0.96の範囲内であり、かつ、融点(ISO 3146)が120〜145℃の範囲内のものをいう。   The blending ratio of the modified HDPE is more preferably in the range of 80 to 300 parts by volume with respect to 100 parts by volume of EVOH. This reason is considered to facilitate the formation of the sea-island structure of the present invention. When the blending ratio of the modified HDPE is less than 80 parts by volume, the adhesive strength to the metal foil layer 21 and the modified HDPE layer 23 tends to decrease. On the contrary, if it exceeds 300 parts by volume, the fuel permeation resistance tends to deteriorate. Furthermore, the modification rate of the modified HDPE is more preferably in the range of 0.1 to 5% by weight. The reason for this is that if the modification rate is less than 0.1% by weight, the affinity between the EVOH and the modified HDPE tends to be poor, and the adhesion and fuel permeation resistance tend to be inferior. This is because the fuel permeation resistance tends to be inferior and the working environment such as kneading and molding tends to deteriorate. The modified HDPE preferably has a melting point (ISO 3146) in the range of 126 to 140 ° C, particularly preferably in the range of 128 to 136 ° C. The HDPE (high density polyethylene) in the modified HDPE usually has a specific gravity (ISO 1183) of 0.93 to 0.97, preferably 0.93 to 0.96, and a melting point ( ISO 3146) is in the range of 120 to 145 ° C.

そして、上記アロイ材料は、上記EVOHおよび変性HDPEを両者の融点以下で高剪断をかけて混練することにより得られる。なお、上記高剪断をかけた混練は、例えば、二軸押出機(混練機)等を用いることにより実現できる。また、上記混練により、EVOHの水酸基と、変性HDPEの変性基とが、水素結合もしくは共有結合を形成すると思われる。その結果、EVOHと、変性HDPEとの親和性が高くなり、変性HDPEからなる島相の分散径が極めて小さく(約1μm)なるとともに、分散径のばらつきが殆どなく、微分散の海島構造を示す。そのため、アロイ材料層22は、燃料透過量が小さくなり、耐燃料透過性に優れると考えられる。   The alloy material can be obtained by kneading the EVOH and the modified HDPE with high shear below their melting points. The kneading with high shear can be realized by using, for example, a twin screw extruder (kneader). In addition, it is considered that the EVOH hydroxyl group and the modified HDPE modified group form a hydrogen bond or a covalent bond by the kneading. As a result, the affinity between EVOH and modified HDPE increases, the dispersion diameter of the island phase made of modified HDPE becomes extremely small (about 1 μm), and there is almost no dispersion diameter dispersion, indicating a finely dispersed sea-island structure. . Therefore, it is considered that the alloy material layer 22 has a small amount of fuel permeation and excellent fuel permeation resistance.

しかも、上記アロイ材料(アロイ材料層22)は、上記微分散の海島構造により、その内側の上記金属箔層21に対しても、その外側の変性HDPE層23に対しても、接着力が強くなると考えられる。特に、最外層である変性HDPE層23に対しては、上記アロイ材料に同様の変性HDPEが含有されているため、そのアロイ材料層22と変性HDPE層23とはなじみ性が良好であり、接着力も強くなっている。このため、各界面が剥がれることがなく、各界面から燃料が漏れるおそれもない。   In addition, the alloy material (alloy material layer 22) has a strong adhesion to the inner metal foil layer 21 and the outer modified HDPE layer 23 due to the finely dispersed sea-island structure. It is considered to be. In particular, the modified HDPE layer 23 which is the outermost layer contains the same modified HDPE in the alloy material. Therefore, the alloy material layer 22 and the modified HDPE layer 23 have good compatibility, and adhesion Power is also getting stronger. For this reason, each interface is not peeled off, and there is no possibility of fuel leaking from each interface.

さらに、上記アロイ材料は、EVOHがマトリクスを形成しているため、吸湿し易く、その吸湿により、接着力が低下するおそれがあるが、アロイ材料層22の表面に、遮水性を奏する変性HDPE層23が形成されているため、溶着される前の保管状態等では、吸湿が防止され、溶着後には、吸湿による溶着力の低下のおそれもない。なお、その変性HDPE層23の厚みは、特に限定されないが、通常、10〜500μmの範囲内に設定される。   Furthermore, since the alloy material is easy to absorb moisture because EVOH forms a matrix, and the adhesive force may be reduced due to the moisture absorption, the surface of the alloy material layer 22 is a modified HDPE layer that provides water shielding. Since 23 is formed, moisture absorption is prevented in the storage state before welding, and there is no fear of a decrease in welding force due to moisture absorption after welding. The thickness of the modified HDPE layer 23 is not particularly limited, but is usually set in the range of 10 to 500 μm.

このような5層構造の溶着部材2は、上記金属箔にアロイ材料および変性HDPEをそれぞれラミネートすることにより得ることができる。なお、金属箔層21の両面に形成されるアロイ材料層22のアロイ材料は、同じでもよいし、異なっていてもよい。また、変性HDPE層23の変性HDPEも同様に、両側が同じでもよいし、異なっていてもよい。そして、溶着部材2の厚みは、通常、50〜1000μmの範囲内に設定される。   The welding member 2 having such a five-layer structure can be obtained by laminating an alloy material and modified HDPE on the metal foil. In addition, the alloy material of the alloy material layer 22 formed on both surfaces of the metal foil layer 21 may be the same or different. Similarly, the modified HDPE of the modified HDPE layer 23 may be the same on both sides or different. And the thickness of the welding member 2 is normally set in the range of 50-1000 micrometers.

そして、上記接合パイプを樹脂製燃料タンクTの口部Taの外周部に溶着する際には、上記本体部材1の環状部11との間に上記溶着部材2を介在させた状態で溶着が行われる。この溶着方法としては、特に限定されないが、高い接合強度が得られる観点から、熱板溶着法,振動溶着法,超音波溶着法,レーザー溶着法等が好適であるが、ホットガス溶着法,回転溶着法であっても差し支えない。   And when welding the said joining pipe to the outer peripheral part of the opening | mouth part Ta of the resin-made fuel tank T, welding is performed in the state which interposed the said welding member 2 between the annular parts 11 of the said main body member 1. FIG. Is called. The welding method is not particularly limited, but from the viewpoint of obtaining high bonding strength, a hot plate welding method, a vibration welding method, an ultrasonic welding method, a laser welding method, and the like are suitable. The welding method can be used.

上記溶着により、燃料低透過材料からなる本体部材1の環状部11と溶着部材2の最上層である変性HDPE層23との当接面部分が溶けて溶着されるとともに、樹脂製燃料タンクの最外層であるHDPE層と溶着部材2の最下層である変性HDPE層23との当接面部分が溶けて溶着される。これにより、溶着部材2の最外層である変性HDPE層23の厚みが薄くなり、その変性HDPE層23からは、燃料が透過し難くなっている。さらに、上述したように、溶着部材2の各層間の界面の接着力は強力であり、各界面から燃料が漏れるおそれもなく、しかも、金属箔層21もアロイ材料層22も耐燃料透過性に優れる。これらのため、上記接合パイプは、優れた耐燃料透過性および溶着力を奏する。   By the above welding, the contact surface portion between the annular portion 11 of the main body member 1 made of the low-permeability fuel material and the modified HDPE layer 23 which is the uppermost layer of the welding member 2 is melted and welded. The contact surface portion between the HDPE layer as the outer layer and the modified HDPE layer 23 as the lowermost layer of the welding member 2 is melted and welded. Thereby, the thickness of the modified HDPE layer 23 that is the outermost layer of the welding member 2 is reduced, and the fuel is difficult to permeate from the modified HDPE layer 23. Furthermore, as described above, the adhesive force at the interface between the respective layers of the welding member 2 is strong, there is no risk of fuel leaking from each interface, and both the metal foil layer 21 and the alloy material layer 22 have fuel permeability resistance. Excellent. For these reasons, the bonded pipe exhibits excellent fuel permeability resistance and welding power.

In this embodiment, the welding member 2 has a four-layer structure, and each layer is an alloy material layer 22 / metal foil layer 21 / alloy material layer 22 / modified HDPE layer 23 in order from the upper layer.
