Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は中空樹脂容器の製造方法に係り、特に、自動車に搭載されるフューエルタンク等の中空樹脂容器の製造方法に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
従来、自動車に搭載されるフューエルタンク等の中空樹脂容器の製造方法の一つとして、分割成形された複数の樹脂製中間成形品を、互いの接合面を溶着することによって中空状の一体に成形する方法があり、その一例を次に説明する。
【0003】
図10に示される如く、この中空樹脂容器の製造方法では、樹脂製中間成形品100を支持する上治具104と、樹脂製中間成形品102を支持する下治具106を接近させると、下治具106のシール部106Aの先端部が、上治具104の外周部104Aの外側に重なるため、樹脂製中間成形品100の接合部と樹脂製中間成形品102の接合部とを溶着する際に、圧縮した樹脂が矢印Wに示される如く、容器の内側のみに流れるようになっている。この結果、この中空樹脂容器の製造方法では、中間成形品100の接合部と中間成形品102の接合部において溶融した樹脂により、溶着部108の容器内側に凸部110が形成され、溶着部108の根元部にくびれを有する小さなバリが発生するのを抑制できるようになっている。
【0004】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかしながら、この中空樹脂容器の製造方法では、凸部110の根元の曲率半径(以下、溶着バリ根元rという)が小さくなる場合があり、この溶着バリ根元rが小さくなると、凸部110に荷重が作用した場合に根元部への応力集中が大きくなり、溶着部強度低下の原因になる。
【0005】
本発明は上記事実を考慮し、溶着部強度を向上できる中空樹脂容器の製造方法を得ることが目的である。
【0006】
【課題を解決するための手段】
請求項1記載の本発明は、シート材の外側に樹脂層を有する複数の中間成形品の周縁部を重ねて溶着する中空樹脂容器の製造方法であって、
前記シート材の前記周縁部溶着時での溶融樹脂流れ値を、前記樹脂層を構成する樹脂の前記周縁部溶着時での溶融樹脂流れ値より低くすると共に、前記周縁部溶着時に前記複数の樹脂製中間成形品の各接合部の接合面と内側面とを溶融させた後、前記複数の中間成形品の周縁部溶着時に前記複数の樹脂製中間成形品の各接合部を支持する上下治具の一方の治具に他方の治具に向けて立設したシール部を前記他方の治具の外周部の外側に重ね各接合部に圧力をかけることで、圧縮された溶融樹脂を容器内側に流すことにより、溶着部の容器内側のみに凸部を形成することを特徴とする。
【0013】
従って、溶着部の容器内側部を形成するシート材の周縁部溶着時での溶融樹脂流れ値が、樹脂層を構成する樹脂の周縁部溶着時での溶融樹脂流れ値より低いと共に、周縁部溶着時に複数の樹脂製中間成形品の各接合部の接合面と内側面とを溶融させた後、複数の中間成形品の周縁部溶着時に複数の樹脂製中間成形品の各接合部を支持する上下治具の一方の治具に他方の治具に向けて立設したシール部を他方の治具の外周部の外側に重ね各接合部に圧力をかけることで、圧縮された溶融樹脂を容器内側に流すため、溶着部の内側面での樹脂の膨出がシート材によって抑制され、溶着部に形成される溶着バリ根元rを大きくできる。この結果、凸部の根元への応力集中を緩和できるため、溶着部強度を向上できる。
【0014】
【発明の実施の形態】
本発明の一実施形態に係る中空樹脂容器(本実施形態では、自動車用フューエルタンク)の製造方法を図1〜図3に従って詳細に説明する。
【0015】
図2に示される如く、本実施形態では、凹状でかつ開口周縁部を有する複数(本実施形態では、上下2個)の樹脂製中間成形品10、12を溶着プレスするための一対の上治具14と下治具16にそれぞれセットする。また、樹脂製中間成形品10、12はそれぞれ射出成形等により成形されており、燃料漏れを防止するための多層フィルムで構成されたシート材13を樹脂層15の内周面に有する構成とされている。
【0016】
シート材13を構成する多層フィルムの中の少なくとも1層の溶融樹脂流れ値(以下、MFRという)は、樹脂層15を構成する母材樹脂のMFRより低く設定されている。例えば、シート材13のMFRを0.1g/10min以下とし、樹脂層15のMFRを0.2g/10min以上とするために、シート材13としては、日本合成化学(株)のエチレンビニルアルコールDT−2903を使用し、樹脂層15を構成する母材樹脂としては、日本ポリオレフィン(株)の押し出しグレードS4002を使用している。
【0017】
図3に示される如く、上側の中間成形品10には、カットオフバルブ18等の付属部品が配設されている。このカットオフバルブ18は上部側中間成形品10と下部側中間成形品12とからなる中空樹脂容器20としてのフューエルタンクにインレットパイプ22を通して燃料を入れていくときフューエルタンク内の上部に溜まる気体を抜くためのパイプであり、燃料がバルブ位置まで上がってくると閉まり、燃料液面がバルブ位置より下にあると開いた状態になる。なお、カットオフバルブ18から逃がされる気体は、燃料ポンプ装着開口部24を挿通しているパイプ(図示省略)を通してタンク外部に逃がされるようになっている。
【0018】
なお、図3に示される如く、下部側中間成形品(フューエルタンク下部品)12に形成する付属部品であるサブタンク26及びセパレータ28は下部側中間成形品成形時に一体成形されている。
【0019】
図1(A)に示される如く、中間成形品10の接合部10Aと中間成形品12の接合部12Aとは、互いに対向するフランジ部となっており、接合部10A、12Aの容器外側端部には、それぞれ離間する側、即ち、接合部10Aでは紙面上側、接合部12Aでは紙面下側へ向けて凸部10B、12Bが形成されている。
【0020】
中間成形品10の接合部10Aと中間成形品12の接合部12Aとの間には、熱板30が配設されており、この熱板30によって、中間成形品10の接合部10Aと中間成形品12の接合部12Aとの双方を溶融するようになっている。なお、各図面では中間成形品10、12の溶融部分を斑点付きハッチングによって示している。
【0021】
熱板30の側断面形状はT字状となっており、中間成形品10、12の内側に位置し、接合部10A、12Aの内側面10C、12Cを溶融する立ち壁部30A、30Bと、この立ち壁部30A、30BとT字状に交わり接合面10D、12Dを溶融する水平部30Cとで構成されている。このため、熱板30を加熱すると、熱板30の水平部30Cによって、中間成形品10、12の接合面10D、12Dの双方が溶融すると共に、熱板30の立ち壁部30A、30Bによって、接合部10A、12Aの内側面10C、12Cがそれぞれ溶融するようになっている。また、中間成形品10、12の接合部10A、12Aの接合面10D、12Dと内側面10C、12Cとの境には、面取り部10E、12Eが形成されている。また、シート材13の縁部13Aは、面取り部10E、12Eまで延設されており、先端部は、接合面10D、12Dに達している。
【0022】
即ち、本実施形態では、シート材13のMFRを、樹脂層15を構成する母材樹脂のMFRより低くすると共に、中間成形品10、12の接合部10A、10Aに面取り部10E、12Eを形成することで、図1(C)に示すように、溶着部35の内側面での樹脂の膨出がシート材13によって抑制される。この結果、図1(D)に示すように、溶着部35の内側面に形成される凸部37周縁の曲率半径(溶着バリ根元r)を大きくすることができる。
【0023】
また、本実施形態では、図2に示される如く、上治具14の外周部に、中間成形品10の接合部10Aの根元部近傍を保持する凸部14Aと、中間成形品10の接合部10Aの凸部10Bを保持する凹部14Bとが形成されており、凸部14Aと凹部14Bとの間では、上治具14と接合部10Aとの間に隙間31が形成されている。
【0024】
同様に、下治具16の外周部には、中間成形品12の接合部12Aの根元部近傍を保持する凸部16Aと、中間成形品12の接合部12Aの凸部12Bを保持する凹部16Bとが形成されており、凸部16Aと凹部16Bとの間では、下治具16と接合部16Aとの間に隙間33が形成されている。
【0025】
また、下治具16には、凹部16Bの外側部に、上治具14に向けてシール部16Cが立設しており、図1(B)に示される如く、中間成形品10の接合部10Aと中間成形品12の接合部12Aとを溶着する際に、上治具14と下治具16を接近させると、シール部16Cの先端部が、上治具14の外周部14Cの外側に重なるようになっている。なお、図1(B)に符号17で示す隙間は無くても良い。
【0026】
次に、本実施形態の作用を説明する。
【0027】
本実施形態では、例えば、200℃の熱板30によって3分間加熱し中間成形品10、12の接合部10A、12Aの溶融が完了した後に、上治具14と下治具16とともに、中間成形品10と中間成形品12を離間する方向へ所定距離移動し、熱板30を容器外方向(図1(A)の矢印A方向)へ引き抜く。その後、上治具14と下治具16とともに、中間成形品10と中間成形品12を接近する方向(例えば、上治具14を図1(B)の矢印B方向)へ移動し、図1(B)に示す状態にする。その後、さらに中間成形品10と中間成形品12を接近する方向(例えば、上治具14を図1(C)の矢印B方向)へ移動し、図1(C)に示す状態にする。その後、図1(D)に示される如く、中空樹脂容器に内圧(図1(D)の矢印C)をかけた状態で冷却した後、上治具14と下治具16とから中空樹脂容器20を取り出す。
【0028】
この際、本実施形態では、溶着部35の容器内側部を形成するシート材13のMFRが、樹脂層15を構成する樹脂のMFRより低いため、溶着部35の内側面での樹脂の膨出がシート材13によって抑制される。この結果、溶着部35の内側面に形成される溶着バリ根元r径を大きくすることができる。従って、溶着部強度を向上でき、凸部37周縁を起点とする破損を低減できる。
【0029】
また、本実施形態の下治具16には、凹部16Bの外側部に、上治具14に向けてシール部16Cが立設されており、圧縮された樹脂が図1(C)の矢印Wに示される如く、容器の内側のみに流れる。このため、溶着部35の容器内側に凸部37を確実に形成することができ、更に溶着部強度を向上できる。
【0030】
次に、シート材13のMFRと樹脂層15を構成する樹脂のMFRとに付いて図4〜図8に従って詳細に説明する。
【0031】
図4に示される如く、試験片50(長さL:50mm、幅:4mm、厚さH:4mm)を一対の試験台52に架設し、試験片50の長手方向中央に形成した溶着部50Aに、試験錘54(重量250g)を高さ3mから落下する衝撃落錘試験を室温−40℃において5本の試験片50で行い、その結果を図5に示される如く、溶着バリ根元r(mm)と非破壊(割れていない)割合(%)とのグラフとした。
【0032】
このグラフから、溶着バリ根元rを3mm以上にすれば、溶着バリ根元への応力集中を緩和でき、非破壊割合が増加するといえる。また、溶着バリ根元rとMFRとの関係は、図6のグラフに示される如くなるため、MFRを0.1g/10min以下にすることで、溶着バリ根元rを3mm以上にできる。従って、溶着部強度を向上するためには、シート材13のMFRを0.1g/10min以下とする必要がある。
【0033】
一方、樹脂層15においては、樹脂製中間成形品10、12を所定時間内に所定の形状に成形する必要があるため、MFRを極端に小さくできないため、MFRの下限値が決まる。具体的には、樹脂製中間成形品10、12に図7に示すリブ80(長さSmm、下幅K1:5mm、上幅K2:2mm)を一体成形する場合のMFRとリブ充填高さSmmとの関係は、図8に示されるようになる。この結果、樹脂製中間成形品10、12において、必要となるリブの高さS=80mm以上を所定時間内に成形するには、樹脂層15のMFRを0.2g/10min以上とする必要がある。
【0034】
以上に於いては、本発明を特定の実施形態について詳細に説明したが、本発明はかかる実施形態に限定されるものではなく、本発明の範囲内にて他の種々の実施形態が可能であることは当業者にとって明らかである。例えば、前記実施形態では、下治具16に、凹部16Bの外側部に、上治具14に向けてシール部16Cを立設しており、図1(B)に示される如く、中間成形品10の接合部10Aと中間成形品12の接合部12Aとを溶着する際に、上治具14と下治具16を接近させると、シール部16Cの先端部が、上治具14の外周部14Cの外側に重なるようになっているが、これに代えて、図9(A)、(B)、(C)に示される如く、下治具16の形状を上治具14と同じにしても良い。なお、この場合には、図1(D)に示される如く、中空樹脂容器に内圧(図1(D)の矢印C)をかける工程は行わない。
【0035】

The convex portions 10B and 12B are formed on the sides that are separated from each other, that is, on the bonding portion 10A toward the upper side of the paper surface and on the bonding portion 12A toward the lower surface of the paper surface.
[0020]
A hot plate 30 is disposed between the joint portion 10A of the intermediate molded product 10 and the joint portion 12A of the intermediate molded product 12, and the hot plate 30 allows the joint portion 10A of the intermediate molded product 10 and the intermediate molding to be formed. Both the joint 12A of the product 12 are melted. In each drawing, the melted portions of the intermediate molded products 10 and 12 are indicated by spotted hatching.
[0021]
The side cross-sectional shape of the hot plate 30 is T-shaped, is located on the inner side of the intermediate molded products 10 and 12, and the standing wall portions 30A and 30B for melting the inner side surfaces 10C and 12C of the joint portions 10A and 12A, The standing wall portions 30A and 30B and a horizontal portion 30C that intersects in a T shape and melts the joint surfaces 10D and 12D. For this reason, when the hot plate 30 is heated, both the joining surfaces 10D and 12D of the intermediate molded products 10 and 12 are melted by the horizontal portion 30C of the hot plate 30 and the standing wall portions 30A and 30B of the hot plate 30 are The inner side surfaces 10C and 12C of the joint portions 10A and 12A are melted. Further, chamfered portions 10E and 12E are formed at the boundary between the joint surfaces 10D and 12D of the joint portions 10A and 12A of the intermediate molded products 10 and 12 and the inner side surfaces 10C and 12C. Further, the edge portion 13A of the sheet material 13 extends to the chamfered portions 10E and 12E, and the leading end portion reaches the joining surfaces 10D and 12D.
[0022]
That is, in the present embodiment, the MFR of the sheet material 13 is made lower than the MFR of the base resin constituting the resin layer 15, and the chamfered portions 10E and 12E are formed at the joint portions 10A and 10A of the intermediate molded products 10 and 12, respectively. By doing so, as shown in FIG. 1C, swelling of the resin on the inner surface of the welded portion 35 is suppressed by the sheet material 13. As a result, as shown in FIG. 1D, the radius of curvature (the weld burr root r) of the periphery of the convex portion 37 formed on the inner surface of the weld portion 35 can be increased.
[0023]
In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, the convex portion 14 </ b> A that holds the vicinity of the root portion of the joint portion 10 </ b> A of the intermediate molded product 10 and the joint portion of the intermediate molded product 10 on the outer peripheral portion of the upper jig 14. A concave portion 14B for holding the convex portion 10B of 10A is formed, and a gap 31 is formed between the convex portion 14A and the concave portion 14B between the upper jig 14 and the joint portion 10A.
[0024]
Similarly, on the outer peripheral portion of the lower jig 16, a convex portion 16A that holds the vicinity of the root portion of the joint portion 12A of the intermediate molded product 12 and a concave portion 16B that holds the convex portion 12B of the joint portion 12A of the intermediate molded product 12 are provided. And a gap 33 is formed between the lower jig 16 and the joint 16A between the convex portion 16A and the concave portion 16B.
[0025]
Further, the lower jig 16 is provided with a seal portion 16C standing on the outer side of the recess 16B toward the upper jig 14, and as shown in FIG. When the upper jig 14 and the lower jig 16 are brought close to each other when welding the joint portion 12A of the intermediate molded product 12 and 10A, the tip portion of the seal portion 16C is placed outside the outer peripheral portion 14C of the upper jig 14. It is supposed to overlap. Note that the gap indicated by reference numeral 17 in FIG.
[0026]
Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described.
[0027]
In the present embodiment, for example, after the heating of the hot plate 30 at 200 ° C. for 3 minutes to complete the melting of the joint portions 10A and 12A of the intermediate molded products 10 and 12, the intermediate molding is performed together with the upper jig 14 and the lower jig 16. The product 10 and the intermediate molded product 12 are moved by a predetermined distance in a direction away from each other, and the hot plate 30 is pulled out in the container outward direction (the direction of arrow A in FIG. 1A). Thereafter, together with the upper jig 14 and the lower jig 16, the intermediate molded product 10 and the intermediate molded product 12 are moved in a direction (for example, the upper jig 14 is moved in the direction of arrow B in FIG. 1B). The state shown in FIG. Thereafter, the intermediate molded product 10 and the intermediate molded product 12 are further moved in a direction in which the intermediate molded product 10 and the intermediate molded product 12 approach each other (for example, in the direction of arrow B in FIG. 1C) to obtain the state shown in FIG. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 1D, the hollow resin container is cooled in a state where an internal pressure (arrow C in FIG. 1D) is applied to the hollow resin container. 20 is taken out.
[0028]
At this time, in this embodiment, since the MFR of the sheet material 13 forming the container inner portion of the weld portion 35 is lower than the MFR of the resin constituting the resin layer 15, the resin bulges on the inner surface of the weld portion 35. Is suppressed by the sheet material 13. As a result, the weld burr root r diameter formed on the inner surface of the weld portion 35 can be increased. Therefore, the welded portion strength can be improved, and damage starting from the periphery of the convex portion 37 can be reduced.
[0029]
Further, in the lower jig 16 of the present embodiment, a seal portion 16C is erected on the outer side of the recess 16B toward the upper jig 14, and the compressed resin is indicated by an arrow W in FIG. As shown in the figure, it flows only inside the container. For this reason, the convex part 37 can be reliably formed in the container inner side of the welding part 35, and also the welding part intensity | strength can be improved.
[0030]
Next, the MFR of the sheet material 13 and the MFR of the resin constituting the resin layer 15 will be described in detail with reference to FIGS.

Further, an impact weight drop test in which a test weight 54 (weight 250 g) is dropped from a height of 3 m is performed with five test pieces 50 at room temperature −40 ° C., and the result is shown in FIG. mm) and non-destructive (not cracked) ratio (%).
[0032]
From this graph, it can be said that if the weld burr root r is 3 mm or more, the stress concentration on the weld burr root can be alleviated and the non-destructive ratio increases. Further, since the relationship between the welding burr root r and the MFR is as shown in the graph of FIG. 6, the welding burr root r can be 3 mm or more by setting the MFR to 0.1 g / 10 min or less. Therefore, in order to improve the welded portion strength, the MFR of the sheet material 13 needs to be 0.1 g / 10 min or less.
[0033]
On the other hand, in the resin layer 15, since it is necessary to mold the resin intermediate molded products 10 and 12 into a predetermined shape within a predetermined time, the MFR cannot be made extremely small, so the lower limit value of the MFR is determined. Specifically, the MFR and the rib filling height Smm when the rib 80 (length Smm, lower width K1: 5 mm, upper width K2: 2 mm) shown in FIG. The relationship between and is as shown in FIG. As a result, in the resin intermediate molded products 10 and 12, in order to mold the required rib height S = 80 mm or more within a predetermined time, the MFR of the resin layer 15 needs to be 0.2 g / 10 min or more. is there.
[0034]
Although the present invention has been described in detail with respect to specific embodiments, the present invention is not limited to such embodiments, and various other embodiments are possible within the scope of the present invention. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art. For example, in the above embodiment, the lower jig 16 is provided with the seal portion 16C on the outer side of the concave portion 16B toward the upper jig 14, and as shown in FIG. When the upper jig 14 and the lower jig 16 are brought close to each other when the 10 joints 10A and the joint 12A of the intermediate molded product 12 are welded together, the tip of the seal part 16C becomes the outer peripheral part of the upper jig 14 14C, but instead, the lower jig 16 has the same shape as the upper jig 14 as shown in FIGS. 9A, 9B, and 9C. Also good. In this case, as shown in FIG. 1D, the process of applying the internal pressure (arrow C in FIG. 1D) to the hollow resin container is not performed.
[0035]
Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the sheet | seat material 13 was comprised with the multilayer film, it may replace with this and the sheet | seat material 13 is good also as a single layer structure.
[0036]
Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the fuel tank of the motor vehicle was taken as an example as the hollow resin container 20, the hollow resin container 20 is not limited to the fuel tank of a motor vehicle, Other hollow resin containers may be used. Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the hollow resin container 20 is divided | segmented into the resin intermediate molded products 10 and 12, the hollow resin container may be divided | segmented into the 3 or more resin intermediate molded products.
[0037]
