Description

本発明は、高圧タンク用ライナーの製造装置、高圧タンク用ライナーの製造方法及び高圧タンクに関する。   The present invention relates to a high-pressure tank liner manufacturing apparatus, a high-pressure tank liner manufacturing method, and a high-pressure tank.

図10に示すように、高圧タンク300等の高圧容器は、鉄等に比べ軽量であって強靱性を有するFRP(Fiber Reinforced Plastic)部材が用いられ、中空のライナー310の表面にFRP部材からなるFRP層320が形成されている。ここで、FRP部材は、例えば、繊維と樹脂を含み、プラスチックが強化されたものである。   As shown in FIG. 10, the high-pressure vessel such as the high-pressure tank 300 uses an FRP (Fiber Reinforced Plastic) member that is lighter and more tough than iron or the like, and is formed of an FRP member on the surface of the hollow liner 310. An FRP layer 320 is formed. Here, the FRP member includes, for example, a fiber and a resin and is reinforced with plastic.

図11に示すように、FRP層320を形成する方法として、例えば、フィラメントワインディング法(以下「FW法」ともいう)が知られており、このフィラメントワインディング法は、樹脂を含浸した繊維を、中空のライナー310に巻き付けて、FRP層320を形成する方法である。FRP層320を形成したのち、通常、熱硬化処理が施される。   As shown in FIG. 11, as a method for forming the FRP layer 320, for example, a filament winding method (hereinafter also referred to as “FW method”) is known. This filament winding method uses a resin-impregnated fiber as a hollow. The FRP layer 320 is formed by being wound around the liner 310. After forming the FRP layer 320, a thermosetting process is usually performed.

上記中空のライナーは、例えば、2つ以上の分割体を接合することにより形成することができる。特許文献1には、樹脂組成物からなる2つ以上の分割体を接合して中空のライナーを形成することが記載され、樹脂組成物として、ポリアミド6、共重合ポリアミド、耐衝撃材を含むポリアミド樹脂組成物を用いることが記載されている。   The hollow liner can be formed, for example, by joining two or more divided bodies. Patent Document 1 describes that two or more divided bodies made of a resin composition are joined to form a hollow liner, and the resin composition includes polyamide 6, copolymer polyamide, and a polyamide including an impact resistant material. The use of a resin composition is described.

一方、特許文献2には、レーザー光に対して吸収性を有する樹脂からなる2つの樹脂成形体の溶着端部を対向させてレーザー溶着する方法が記載されている。溶着に際し、レーザー光は、ライナーの外周側から照射されている。   On the other hand, Patent Document 2 describes a method in which laser welding is performed by facing the welding end portions of two resin molded bodies made of a resin having absorptivity to laser light. At the time of welding, the laser beam is irradiated from the outer peripheral side of the liner.

ところで、従来、樹脂組成物からなる2つの分割体110,120の溶着して中空のライナー200を形成する一般的な方法は、例えば、図8に示すように、2つの分割体110,120の溶着端部を対向させ、さらに、対向接触させた両溶着端部からなるレーザー溶着部30を露出させた状態で分割体110,120の一方を押さえ治具40で押さえ、口金部14,24を貫通する回転軸(図示せず)によって分割体110,120を同時に回転させながら、レーザー源50からのレーザー光52を分割体110,120の外側からレーザー溶着部30に照射し、2つの分割体110,120の溶着端部を溶着して中空のライナー200を形成している。   By the way, conventionally, as a general method for forming the hollow liner 200 by welding the two divided bodies 110 and 120 made of the resin composition, for example, as shown in FIG. With the welding end portions facing each other and the laser welding portion 30 composed of the two welding end portions opposed to each other being exposed, one of the divided bodies 110 and 120 is pressed by the pressing jig 40 to hold the base portions 14 and 24. While the divided bodies 110 and 120 are simultaneously rotated by a rotating shaft (not shown) penetrating, the laser weld 52 is irradiated from the outside of the divided bodies 110 and 120 to the laser welded portion 30 and two divided bodies. The hollow liner 200 is formed by welding the welding end portions 110 and 120.

上記方法をさらに詳細に説明すると、2つの分割体は、レーザー透過材からなる分割体110とレーザー吸収材からなる分割体120とからなり、図9に示すように、例えば、両分割体110,120の溶着端部は、それぞれ嵌合可能な段差切り欠き形状を有し、互いに段差切り欠き部を嵌め合わせることでレーザー溶着部30が形成されている。そして、レーザー溶着部30におけるレーザー透過材からなる分割体110にレーザー光52が照射されると、分割体110を透過したレーザー光52がレーザー吸収材からなる分割体120に到達し、レーザー光52を吸収した分割体120の溶着端部が発熱して溶融するとともに、分割体120の発熱が分割体110の溶着端部に伝わり、分割体110の溶着端部も溶融して、分割体110,120の両溶着端部が溶融し混ざり合うことにより、分割体110,120が接合される。   The above method will be described in more detail. The two divided bodies include a divided body 110 made of a laser transmitting material and a divided body 120 made of a laser absorbing material. As shown in FIG. The welding end portions of 120 have stepped cutout shapes that can be fitted to each other, and the laser welded portion 30 is formed by fitting the stepped cutout portions together. Then, when the laser beam 52 is irradiated to the divided body 110 made of a laser transmitting material in the laser welded portion 30, the laser light 52 that has passed through the divided body 110 reaches the divided body 120 made of a laser absorbing material, and the laser light 52 The weld end of the divided body 120 that has absorbed the heat is heated and melted, and the heat generated by the divided body 120 is transmitted to the weld end of the divided body 110, so that the weld end of the divided body 110 is also melted. When the welded end portions of 120 are melted and mixed, the divided bodies 110 and 120 are joined.

上述した従来の樹脂組成物からなる2つの分割体を溶着して中空のライナーを形成する方法において、2つの分割体を対向接触させた時に、仮に、2つの分割体の両溶着端部の間に少なくとも一個所に隙間が発生した場合、レーザー光が照射されてレーザー吸収材からなる分割体が発熱しても、その熱が隙間のためにレーザー透過材からなる分割体に伝達されず、隙間が発生した個所の両溶着端部の溶着精度が低下するおそれがある。また、2つの分割体の対向接触個所の外側からレーザー光を照射するため、2つの分割体を保持する押さえ治具は、レーザー溶着部を直接押さえることができず、従って直接押さえた場合に比べ隙間の発生を抑制し難く、さらにレーザー照射面は外気に晒され冷却し易いため、溶着端部の発熱溶融個所は比較的狭く、また発熱溶融時間も比較的短くなることから、レーザー光を照射した両溶着端部のみ発熱して溶融接合されるため、仮に、それ以外の両溶着端部間に隙間が発生している場合でも、その状態で溶着による接合が進行してしまうおそれがある。   In the method of forming the hollow liner by welding the two divided bodies made of the conventional resin composition described above, when the two divided bodies are brought into contact with each other, it is temporarily between the weld ends of the two divided bodies. If a gap occurs in at least one place, even if the laser beam is irradiated and the divided body made of the laser absorbing material generates heat, the heat is not transmitted to the divided body made of the laser transmitting material due to the gap, and the gap There is a possibility that the welding accuracy at both welding ends of the portion where the erosion occurs is lowered. In addition, since the laser beam is irradiated from the outside of the contact point between the two divided bodies, the holding jig that holds the two divided bodies cannot directly hold the laser welded part, so compared to the case where it is pressed directly. It is difficult to suppress the generation of gaps, and the laser irradiation surface is exposed to the outside air and is easy to cool. Therefore, the heat-melting point at the weld end is relatively narrow and the heat-melting time is also relatively short. Since only the two welded end portions generate heat and are melt-bonded, even if a gap is generated between the other welded end portions, there is a possibility that the joining by welding proceeds in that state.

本発明は、上記課題に鑑みなされたものであり、少なくとも2つの分割体の両溶着端部の間の隙間を無くすように接合する高圧タンク用ライナーの製造装置、高圧タンク用ライナーの製造方法および高圧タンクを提供する。   The present invention has been made in view of the above-described problem, and a high-pressure tank liner manufacturing apparatus, a high-pressure tank liner manufacturing method, and a high-pressure tank liner manufacturing method for joining so as to eliminate a gap between both welded end portions of at least two divided bodies.

レーザー光に対して吸収性を有する樹脂からなる第2の分割体20としては、レーザー光を吸収する樹脂またはレーザーを吸収する材料を含有する樹脂であれば如何なるものでも良く、例えば、上述したポリアミド系樹脂組成物、ポリエチレン(PE)、ポリプロピレン(PP)、スチレン−アクリロニトリル共重合体、ポリエチレンテレフタレート(PET)、ポリスチレン、ABS、アクリル(PMMA)、ポリカーボネート(PC)、ポリブチレンテレフタレート(PBT)、ポリフェニレンスルファイド(PPS)等の樹脂に、カーボンブラック、染料や顔料等の所定の着色材を混入したものが挙げられる。   The second divided body 20 made of a resin that absorbs laser light may be any resin as long as it is a resin that absorbs laser light or contains a material that absorbs laser. -Based resin composition, polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), styrene-acrylonitrile copolymer, polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polystyrene, ABS, acrylic (PMMA), polycarbonate (PC), polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), polyphenylene Examples thereof include a resin such as sulfide (PPS) mixed with a predetermined colorant such as carbon black, a dye or a pigment.

さらに、本実施の形態では、第1の分割体10に用いるレーザー光に対して透過性を有する樹脂と第2の分割体20に用いるレーザー光に対して吸収性を有する樹脂との透過率(%)の差が、30%〜70%であることが好ましい。ここで、透過率は、半導体レーザー(レーザー光の波長:500〜1000nm)を照射したときの透過率である。   Further, in the present embodiment, the transmittance between the resin having transparency to the laser beam used for the first divided body 10 and the resin having absorption property to the laser light used for the second divided body 20 ( %) Is preferably 30% to 70%. Here, the transmittance is the transmittance when a semiconductor laser (wavelength of laser light: 500 to 1000 nm) is irradiated.

また、第2の分割体20の全体を、上述したレーザー光に対して吸収性を有する樹脂から成形してもよいが、例えば、第2の分割体20の溶接端部のみをレーザー光に対して吸収性を有する樹脂を用いて成形してもよい。   Further, the entire second divided body 20 may be molded from the above-described resin having absorptivity with respect to the laser beam. For example, only the weld end of the second divided body 20 with respect to the laser beam is formed. It is also possible to mold using a resin having absorbency.

本実施の形態における高圧タンク用ライナーの製造装置は、図3に示すように、第1の分割体10の溶着端部と第2の分割体20の溶着端部とを対向接触させてなる周回部であるレーザー溶着部30を直接外周側から保持する押さえ治具40と、第1の分割体10に設けられた口金部を介して第1の分割体10の内部にレーザー光52を照射するレーザー源50と、第2の分割体20に設けられた口金部を介して第2の分割体20内に挿入され、照射されたレーザー光52をレーザー溶着部30の内周側に反射する反射鏡60が一方端に設けられた反射鏡付き回転軸62と、反射鏡付き回転軸62を回転させる回転手段64とを有する。   As shown in FIG. 3, the high-pressure tank liner manufacturing apparatus in the present embodiment is a circuit in which the welding end portion of the first divided body 10 and the welding end portion of the second divided body 20 are opposed to each other. The laser beam 52 is radiated to the inside of the first divided body 10 through a holding jig 40 that directly holds the laser welded portion 30 that is a portion from the outer peripheral side and a base portion provided in the first divided body 10. A reflection that is inserted into the second divided body 20 via the laser source 50 and a cap provided on the second divided body 20 and reflects the irradiated laser light 52 to the inner peripheral side of the laser welded portion 30. The mirror 60 has a rotating shaft 62 with a reflecting mirror provided at one end and rotating means 64 for rotating the rotating shaft 62 with a reflecting mirror.

レーザー溶着部30を直接外周側から押さえ治具により保持するため、従来に比べ、両溶着端部間の隙間の発生が抑制される。また、第2の分割体20内に挿入された反射鏡付き回転軸62を回転させながら、反射鏡60によって第1の分割体10内に照射されたレーザー光52をレーザー溶着部30の内周側に反射させ両溶着端部を発熱させるので、発生した熱は第1の分割体10及び第2の分割体20の内部に籠もり、両溶着端部の溶融時間が従来に比べ長くなり、仮に対向接触時に両溶着端部間に隙間が生じても、十分に隙間を埋めながら溶着接合することができる。   Since the laser welding part 30 is directly held by the pressing jig from the outer peripheral side, generation of a gap between the two welding end parts is suppressed as compared with the conventional technique. Further, while rotating the rotating shaft 62 with the reflecting mirror inserted into the second divided body 20, the laser beam 52 irradiated into the first divided body 10 by the reflecting mirror 60 is irradiated with the inner circumference of the laser welded portion 30. Since both welding end portions are reflected by reflecting on the side, the generated heat is trapped inside the first divided body 10 and the second divided body 20, and the melting time of both welding end portions becomes longer than before, Even if a gap is generated between the two welding end portions at the time of facing contact, welding can be performed while sufficiently filling the gap.

また、反射鏡付き回転軸62を高速回転させることで、所定時間内に、両溶着端部の周回部全体にレーザー光を均一に照射することができるので、両溶接端部の周回部全体にほぼ均一に発熱を生じさせながら溶着を行うことができる。これにより、レーザー光による溶着が高速で且つ安定した溶着品質を確保することができる。ここで、本実施の形態における反射鏡付き回転軸62の回転速度は、例えば、2〜3秒で1回転する速度で、6〜7回転させて溶着させ接合させること好ましいが、これに限るものではなく、レーザー光の強度と第2の分割体20におけるレーザー光を吸収する樹脂の透過率に応じて適宜回転速度及び回転数が選択される。   Further, by rotating the rotating shaft 62 with the reflecting mirror at a high speed, it is possible to uniformly irradiate the entire circumference of both welding ends within a predetermined time, so that the entire circumference of both weld ends can be irradiated. Welding can be performed while generating heat almost uniformly. Thereby, the welding by a laser beam can be ensured at high speed and stable welding quality. Here, the rotation speed of the rotating shaft 62 with a reflecting mirror in the present embodiment is, for example, a speed of one rotation in 2-3 seconds, preferably 6-7 rotations, welded and joined, but is not limited thereto. Instead, the rotation speed and the number of rotations are appropriately selected according to the intensity of the laser light and the transmittance of the resin that absorbs the laser light in the second divided body 20.

本実施の形態におけるレーザー源50から照射されるレーザー光52の種類としては、レーザー光を透過させる透過樹脂材の吸収スペクトルや板厚(透過長)等との関係で、透過樹脂材内での透過率が所定値以上となるような波長を有するものが適宜選定される。例えば、ガラス:ネオジム3+レーザー、YAG:ネオジム3+レーザー、ルビーレーザー、ヘリウム−ネオンレーザー、クリプトンレーザー、アルゴンレーザー、H2レーザー、N2レーザー、半導体レーザー等のレーザー光をあげることができる。より好ましいレーザーとしては、YAG:ネオジム3+レーザー(レーザー光の波長:1060nm)や半導体レーザー(レーザー光の波長:500〜1000nm)が挙げられる。 The type of the laser beam 52 emitted from the laser source 50 in the present embodiment is based on the absorption spectrum, plate thickness (transmission length), etc. of the transmissive resin material that transmits the laser beam. Those having a wavelength such that the transmittance is a predetermined value or more are appropriately selected. For example, laser light such as glass: neodymium 3+ laser, YAG: neodymium 3+ laser, ruby laser, helium-neon laser, krypton laser, argon laser, H 2 laser, N 2 laser, and semiconductor laser can be used. More preferable examples of the laser include YAG: neodymium 3+ laser (laser light wavelength: 1060 nm) and semiconductor laser (laser light wavelength: 500 to 1000 nm).

本実施の形態における高圧タンク用ライナーの製造装置は、さらに、図3に示すように、第2の分割体20を把持する把持具70と、把持具70に設けられ第1の分割体10の口金部14と第2の分割体20の口金部24を結ぶ軸方向に対して振動を加える振動発振機72とが設けられている。   As shown in FIG. 3, the high-pressure tank liner manufacturing apparatus in the present embodiment further includes a gripping tool 70 that grips the second divided body 20, and the first split body 10 provided in the gripping tool 70. A vibration oscillator 72 that applies vibration to the axial direction connecting the base part 14 and the base part 24 of the second divided body 20 is provided.

従って、第2の分割体20内に挿入された反射鏡付き回転軸62を回転させながら、反射鏡60によって第1の分割体10内に照射されたレーザー光52をレーザー溶着部30の内周側に反射させ、両溶着端部を発熱させ溶融させて接合する際に、第1の分割体10の溶着端部及び第2の分割体20の溶着端部のそれぞれの溶融時の溶け込み量に応じて、第1の分割体10の口金部14と第2の分割体20の口金部24を結ぶ軸方向に対して振動発振機72から振動を加えることにより、仮に、両溶着部の間に隙間が発生した場合でも溶着しながら隙間を無くして、常に隙間なしの接合が行われる。このように、反射鏡付き回転軸62を高速回転させ、分割体内部からレーザー光を照射して溶着させ、且つ、分割体に振動を加えることにより、ライナーの生産性は飛躍的に向上する。   Accordingly, the laser beam 52 irradiated into the first divided body 10 by the reflecting mirror 60 is rotated around the inner circumference of the laser welded portion 30 while rotating the rotating shaft 62 with the reflecting mirror inserted into the second divided body 20. When the two welding ends are heated and melted and joined, the welding end portions of the first divided body 10 and the welding end portions of the second divided body 20 are respectively melted at the time of melting. Accordingly, by applying vibration from the vibration oscillator 72 in the axial direction connecting the base part 14 of the first divided body 10 and the base part 24 of the second divided body 20, temporarily between the two welded parts. Even when a gap is generated, the gap is eliminated while welding, and joining without gap is always performed. In this way, the productivity of the liner is drastically improved by rotating the rotating shaft 62 with a reflecting mirror at high speed, irradiating and welding the laser beam from the inside of the divided body, and applying vibration to the divided body.

ここで、上述した把持具70は、例えば、第2の分割体20の口金部24を挟むように把持する把持具であっても、また第2の分割体20の外周部分を把持する把持具であってもよい。また、振動発振機72として、例えば、超音波振動発振機を用いることができる。   Here, the gripping tool 70 described above is, for example, a gripping tool that grips the base portion 24 of the second divided body 20, or a gripping tool that grips the outer peripheral portion of the second divided body 20. It may be. For example, an ultrasonic vibration oscillator can be used as the vibration oscillator 72.

また、本実施の形態における高圧タンク用ライナーの製造装置は、図4に示すように、さらに、反射鏡60の角度を調整する反射鏡角度調整手段が設けられている。反射鏡角度調整手段は、図4に示すように、反射鏡付き回転軸62に隣接して進退可能に駆動可能な軸66であって、軸の先端には回動可能なヒンジが設けられ、ヒンジを介して反射鏡60と接続されている。   Further, as shown in FIG. 4, the high-pressure tank liner manufacturing apparatus in the present embodiment is further provided with reflecting mirror angle adjusting means for adjusting the angle of the reflecting mirror 60. As shown in FIG. 4, the reflecting mirror angle adjusting means is a shaft 66 that can be driven forward and backward adjacent to the rotating shaft 62 with a reflecting mirror, and a pivotable hinge is provided at the tip of the shaft. The reflector 60 is connected via a hinge.

これにより、例えば、第1の分割体の溶着端部と第2の分割端部の溶着端部との対向接触部分(例えば嵌合部分)の幅(図2に示す「レーザー照射範囲」に相当する)が狭い場合には、図4に示す軸66を進出させて、図5Aに示すように反射鏡60を角度θ1に調整することで、反射されたレーザー光の幅を狭く調整してレーザー溶着部を効率よく溶着させることができる。一方、対向接触部分の幅が広い場合には、図4に示す軸66を退行させて、図5Bに示すように反射鏡60を角度θ2に調整することで、反射されたレーザー光の幅を広く調整してレーザー溶着端部全体を十分に溶着させることができる。 Thereby, for example, it corresponds to the width (for example, “laser irradiation range” shown in FIG. 2) of the facing contact portion (for example, the fitting portion) between the welding end portion of the first divided body and the welding end portion of the second divided end portion. 4), the axis 66 shown in FIG. 4 is advanced, and the reflecting mirror 60 is adjusted to the angle θ 1 as shown in FIG. 5A, thereby adjusting the width of the reflected laser beam to be narrow. A laser welding part can be welded efficiently. On the other hand, when the width of the opposing contact portion is wide, the axis 66 shown in FIG. 4 is retracted, and the reflecting mirror 60 is adjusted to the angle θ 2 as shown in FIG. Can be adjusted widely to weld the entire laser welding end sufficiently.

次に、本実施の形態における高圧タンク用ライナーの製造方法の一例は、図6に示すように、レーザー光に対して透過性を有する樹脂からなる第1の分割体の溶着端部とレーザー光に対して吸収性を有する樹脂からなる第2の分割体の溶着端部とを対向接触させてなる周回部を直接外周側から保持する工程(S100)と、第2の分割体に設けられた口金部を介して一方端に反射鏡が設けられた反射鏡付き回転軸を挿入する工程(S102)と、反射鏡付き回転軸を回転させながら、第1の分割体に設けられた口金部を介して反射鏡に対しレーザー光を照射し、照射されたレーザー光を前記周回部の内周側に反射させて両溶着端部を溶着接合する工程(S104)と、を有する。   Next, as shown in FIG. 6, an example of a method for manufacturing a high-pressure tank liner in the present embodiment includes a welded end portion of a first divided body made of a resin that is transparent to laser light, and laser light. A step (S100) of directly holding from the outer peripheral side the circumferential portion formed by bringing the welded end portion of the second divided body made of a resin having absorptivity into contact with each other, and the second divided body is provided. The step of inserting a rotating shaft with a reflecting mirror provided with a reflecting mirror at one end through the base portion (S102), and the rotating base rotating shaft with the reflecting mirror while rotating the rotating base with the reflecting portion. And irradiating the reflecting mirror with laser light, reflecting the irradiated laser light to the inner peripheral side of the circulating portion, and welding and joining both welding end portions (S104).

第1の分割体の溶着端部と第2の分割体の溶着端部とを対向接触させてなる周回部を外周側から保持するため、従来に比べ、両溶着端部間の隙間の発生が抑制される。また、レーザー光を周回部の内周側に反射させ両溶着端部を発熱させるので、発生した熱は第1の分割体及び第2の分割体の内部に籠もり、両溶着端部の溶融時間が従来に比べ長くなり、仮に対向接触時に両溶着端部間に隙間が生じても、十分に隙間を埋めながら溶着接合することができる。   In order to hold the circumference part formed by making the welding end part of the 1st division object and the welding end part of the 2nd division object counter-contact from the outer peripheral side, compared with the past, generation of the gap between both welding edge parts is produced. It is suppressed. In addition, since the laser beam is reflected on the inner peripheral side of the circulating portion and both welding end portions are heated, the generated heat is trapped inside the first divided body and the second divided body, and the fusion end portions are melted. The time is longer than in the conventional case, and even if a gap is generated between the two welding end portions at the time of facing contact, the welding can be performed while sufficiently filling the gap.

本実施の形態における高圧タンク用ライナーの製造方法の他の一例は、図7に示すように、レーザー光に対して透過性を有する樹脂からなる第1の分割体の溶着端部とレーザー光に対して吸収性を有する樹脂からなる第2の分割体の溶着端部とを対向接触させた周回部を外周側から保持する工程(S100)と、第2の分割体に設けられた口金部を介して一方端に反射鏡が設けられた反射鏡付き回転軸を挿入する工程(S102)と、反射鏡付き回転軸を回転させながら、第1の分割体に設けられた口金部を介して反射鏡に対しレーザー光を照射し、照射されたレーザー光を前記周回部の内周側に反射させ、且つ、第2の分割体を把持しながら第1の分割体の口金部と第2の分割体の口金部を結ぶ軸方向に対して振動を与え、両溶着端部を溶着接合する工程(S108)と、を有する。   Another example of the manufacturing method of the high-pressure tank liner in the present embodiment is as shown in FIG. 7 in the welding end portion of the first divided body made of a resin having transparency to the laser beam and the laser beam. In contrast, a step (S100) of holding a circumferential portion in which the welded end portion of the second divided body made of a resin having an absorptivity is opposed to each other from the outer circumferential side, and a base portion provided in the second divided body are provided. Step (S102) of inserting a rotating shaft with a reflecting mirror provided with a reflecting mirror at one end thereof, and reflecting through a base portion provided in the first divided body while rotating the rotating shaft with a reflecting mirror. The mirror is irradiated with laser light, the irradiated laser light is reflected to the inner peripheral side of the rotating part, and the base part of the first divided body and the second divided part are held while holding the second divided body Vibration is applied to the axial direction connecting the base parts of the body, and both welding ends are welded. Having a step (S108) to be joined.

図7に示す高圧タンク用ライナーの製造方法において、さらに、両溶着端部を発熱させ溶融させて接合する際に、第1の分割体の溶着端部及び第2の分割体の溶着端部のそれぞれの溶融時の溶け込み量に応じて、第1の分割体の口金部と第2の分割体の口金部を結ぶ軸方向に対して振動発振機から振動が加えられるので、さらに両溶着端部間の隙間を無くして接合することができる。   In the manufacturing method of the liner for a high-pressure tank shown in FIG. 7, when both the welding end portions are heated and melted and joined, the welding end portions of the first divided body and the welding end portions of the second divided body are connected. Since vibration is applied from the vibration oscillator to the axial direction connecting the base part of the first divided body and the base part of the second divided body according to the amount of penetration at the time of melting, both welding end parts It is possible to join without a gap between them.
