 本発明は、バリア層を有する樹脂製タンクおよびバリア層を有する樹脂製タンクの製造方法に関する。 The present invention relates to a resin tank having a barrier layer and a method for producing a resin tank having a barrier layer.
 従来、壁面内にバリア層を備える容器をインジェクション成形にて成形することが知られている(例えば、特許文献1参照)。特許文献1では、樹脂を注入するゲート孔を有する壁の形状を、ゲートと反対側に盛り上げた厚肉部形状とし、その厚肉部内のバリア層をゲート孔から遠ざかる様に湾曲させることで、ゲート孔から流入する高圧高温の樹脂の流れを円滑化してバリア層を樹脂層の内部に一体化している。特許文献1では、バリア層が容器外層と容器内層とで挟まれた多層射出成形物を成形している。
 また、自動車用燃料タンクなどの大型の閉塞容器を成形する場合に、バリア層を内側面にインサートさせて熱可塑性合成樹脂によりインジェクション成形することが公知である(例えば、特許文献2参照)。特許文献2では、インジェクション成形により複数の開放形状の分割体を成形し、その後、分割体の開口周縁部同士を合体し加圧することにより一体的に接合して、大型の閉塞容器を成形している。
Conventionally, it is known that a container having a barrier layer in a wall surface is formed by injection molding (see, for example, Patent Document 1). In Patent Document 1, the shape of the wall having the gate hole for injecting the resin is a thick-walled portion raised on the opposite side of the gate, and the barrier layer in the thick-walled portion is curved away from the gate hole, The barrier layer is integrated into the resin layer by smoothing the flow of the high-pressure and high-temperature resin flowing in from the gate hole.

 しかし、特許文献1に記載の多層射出成形物では、容器の内側層と外側層との間にバリア層が位置する様にゲートからの樹脂注入圧力や速度などの制御が必要であり、樹脂成形が複雑化する。そのため、燃料タンクのような大型の容器の成形には不向きであり、樹脂注入構造の簡素化が課題である。
 また、特許文献2の様にバリア層を予め成形し、金型内にインサートしてインジェクション成形する場合は、ゲート部は、インサートされるバリア層へ高温高圧の樹脂の流れによる溶損や捲れが発生しない様に配置することも求められる課題であった。
 本発明は、上述した事情に鑑みてなされたものであり、樹脂がバリア層を剥がす方向に回り込むのを防止でき、バリア層と本体樹脂の接合強度が向上したバリア層を有する樹脂製タンクおよびバリア層を有する樹脂製タンクの製造方法を提供することを目的とする。
However, in the multilayer injection-molded article described in Patent Document 1, it is necessary to control the resin injection pressure and speed from the gate so that the barrier layer is located between the inner layer and the outer layer of the container. Is complicated. Therefore, it is unsuitable for molding a large container such as a fuel tank, and simplification of the resin injection structure is a problem.
In addition, when the barrier layer is molded in advance as in Patent Document 2 and inserted into a mold for injection molding, the gate portion is not melted or squeezed by the flow of high-temperature and high-pressure resin into the inserted barrier layer. It was also a challenge to place them so that they would not occur.
The present invention has been made in view of the above-described circumstances, and can prevent the resin from turning around in the direction in which the barrier layer is peeled off, and a resin tank and barrier having a barrier layer in which the bonding strength between the barrier layer and the main body resin is improved. It aims at providing the manufacturing method of the resin-made tanks which have a layer.

 燃料タンク30は、1層の樹脂層である燃料タンク本体35と、5層で構成されるバリアシート層36とによって6層で構成される。
 バリアシート層36は、バリア本体層55と、バリア本体層55の両面に設けられる接着層56,56と、接着層56,56を介してバリア本体層55の両側に接着される外層57a,57bとを備える。
FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view showing the configuration of the fuel tank 30 in the plate thickness direction.
The fuel tank 30 is composed of six layers including a fuel tank body 35 that is a single resin layer and a barrier sheet layer 36 that is composed of five layers.
The barrier sheet layer 36 includes a barrier main body layer 55, adhesive layers 56 and 56 provided on both sides of the barrier main body layer 55, and outer layers 57a and 57b bonded to both sides of the barrier main body layer 55 through the adhesive layers 56 and 56. With.
 燃料タンク本体35の材質は、一例として、高密度ポリエチレン(HDPE)である。
 バリア本体層55は、高密度ポリエチレンよりも燃料を透過させ難い材質で構成される。バリア本体層55は、一例として、エチレンビニルアルコール共重合体(EVOH)で構成される。
 外層57a,57bは、燃料タンク本体35と同じ材質で構成され、一例として、高密度ポリエチレンで構成される。
The material of the fuel tank body 35 is, for example, high density polyethylene (HDPE).
The barrier body layer 55 is made of a material that is less permeable to fuel than high-density polyethylene. For example, the barrier main body layer 55 is made of an ethylene vinyl alcohol copolymer (EVOH).
The outer layers 57a and 57b are made of the same material as that of the fuel tank body 35, and as an example, are made of high-density polyethylene.
 バリアシート層36は、燃料タンク本体35側の外層57aを介して燃料タンク本体35の内面に結合される。バリアシート層36は、燃料タンク本体35と同一の材質の外層57aを介して燃料タンク本体35の内面に結合されるため、燃料タンク本体35への密着性が高く、燃料タンク本体35に強固に結合される。
 バリアシート層36は、外層57bが燃料タンク本体35内に露出して燃料に接する。このため、燃料のバリア本体層55への直接的な接触が防止される。
The barrier sheet layer 36 is coupled to the inner surface of the fuel tank body 35 via the outer layer 57a on the fuel tank body 35 side. The barrier sheet layer 36 is coupled to the inner surface of the fuel tank main body 35 via the outer layer 57 a made of the same material as the fuel tank main body 35, and thus has high adhesion to the fuel tank main body 35 and is firmly attached to the fuel tank main body 35. Combined.
In the barrier sheet layer 36, the outer layer 57b is exposed in the fuel tank body 35 and comes into contact with the fuel. For this reason, direct contact of the fuel with the barrier main body layer 55 is prevented.
 図4は、燃料タンク本体35の製造工程を示す模式図である。
 図4を参照し、押し出し成形用のダイ51に、バリアシート層36を構成する複数の材料が供給され、シート状の成形体50がダイ51から押し出される。

 トリミングされたバリアシート層36は、燃料タンク本体35を成形するインジェクション成形の金型53内にセットされ、燃料タンク本体35のインジェクション成形の際に燃料タンク本体35に一体化される。すなわち、バリアシート層36は、インサート成形によって燃料タンク本体35の内面に結合される。
FIG. 4 is a schematic view showing a manufacturing process of the fuel tank main body 35.
With reference to FIG. 4, a plurality of materials constituting the barrier sheet layer 36 are supplied to the extrusion forming die 51, and the sheet-like formed body 50 is extruded from the die 51.
The formed body 50 is shaped by the vacuum forming machine 52 into a shape along the inner surface of the fuel tank main body 35. The shaped barrier sheet layer 36 is trimmed at the periphery by a trimming die (not shown).
The trimmed barrier sheet layer 36 is set in an injection molding die 53 for molding the fuel tank main body 35, and is integrated with the fuel tank main body 35 when the fuel tank main body 35 is injection molded. That is, the barrier sheet layer 36 is coupled to the inner surface of the fuel tank body 35 by insert molding.
 ここで、上側バリアシート層36aと下側バリアシート層36bとは個別に成形される。
 上側バリアシート層36aは、上半体45のインジェクション成形の際に上半体45に結合され、下側バリアシート層36bは、下半体46のインジェクション成形の際に下半体46に結合される。
 その後、上側接合部47の上側接合面47c及び下側接合部48の下側接合面48cが加熱によって溶かされ、上側接合面47cと下側接合面48cとが圧着されることで、上半体45と下半体46とが一体化される。
Here, the upper barrier sheet layer 36a and the lower barrier sheet layer 36b are individually formed.
The upper barrier sheet layer 36a is bonded to the upper half 45 during the injection molding of the upper half 45, and the lower barrier sheet layer 36b is bonded to the lower half 46 during the injection molding of the lower half 46. The
Thereafter, the upper bonding surface 47c of the upper bonding portion 47 and the lower bonding surface 48c of the lower bonding portion 48 are melted by heating, and the upper bonding surface 47c and the lower bonding surface 48c are pressure-bonded, whereby the upper half body 45 and the lower half 46 are integrated.
 図5は、上半体45のインジェクション成形の要部説明図である。
 燃料タンク本体35の上半体45は、金型53Aにより成形される。
 金型53Aは、上半体45の上面(外面)45a側に配置されるキャビティ型60と、上半体45の下面(内面)45b側に配置されるコア型70と、を備える。キャビティ型60と、コア型70との間の空間により、樹脂が充填されて上半体45が成形される成形空間45cが形成される。
FIG. 5 is an explanatory view of the main part of the injection molding of the upper half body 45.
The upper half 45 of the fuel tank body 35 is formed by a mold 53A.
The mold 53A includes a cavity mold 60 disposed on the upper surface (outer surface) 45a side of the upper half body 45, and a core mold 70 disposed on the lower surface (inner surface) 45b side of the upper half body 45. A space between the cavity mold 60 and the core mold 70 forms a molding space 45c in which the upper half 45 is molded by being filled with resin.
 キャビティ型60には、ゲート部(樹脂注入ゲート部)61が形成されている。ゲート部61の開口部61aは角形である。ゲート部61の開口部61aは、上半体45の上面45aを成形する位置に設けられており、いわゆる、ダイレクトゲートである。ゲート部61には射出成形機の射出部54(図4参照)から樹脂が注入される。ゲート部61の開口部61aを通過した樹脂が金型53Aの成形空間45c内に充填される。成形空間45cでは、ゲート部61の開口部61aから離れるほど樹脂の流動方向は下流側となる。なお、以下では、上流側とは、樹脂の流動方向上流側の意味で用い、下流側とは、樹脂の流動方向下流側の意味で用いる。 In the cavity mold 60, a gate part (resin injection gate part) 61 is formed. The opening 61a of the gate part 61 has a square shape. The opening 61a of the gate portion 61 is provided at a position where the upper surface 45a of the upper half 45 is formed, and is a so-called direct gate. Resin is injected into the gate portion 61 from an injection portion 54 (see FIG. 4) of the injection molding machine. The resin that has passed through the opening 61a of the gate portion 61 is filled into the molding space 45c of the mold 53A. In the molding space 45c, the resin flow direction becomes downstream as the distance from the opening 61a of the gate portion 61 increases. Hereinafter, the upstream side means the upstream side in the resin flow direction, and the downstream side means the downstream side in the resin flow direction.
 ゲート部61の開口部61aの周囲には平板部62が形成されている。平板部62に対して下流側には、コア型70側に膨出し、成形空間45cを狭める平板部63が形成されている。 A flat plate portion 62 is formed around the opening 61 a of the gate portion 61. On the downstream side of the flat plate portion 62, a flat plate portion 63 that bulges toward the core mold 70 and narrows the molding space 45c is formed.
 コア型70には、ゲート部61の開口部61aに対向する位置に、円錐状の窪み部(壁面)71が形成されている。窪み部71は、側面視でV字状に窪んでいる。窪み部71の開口部71aの開口幅w1は、ゲート部61の開口部61aの開口幅w0よりも大きい。開口部61aを介して進入した樹脂は、窪み部71内部に進入し易くなっている。なお、窪み部71の開口幅w1は、ゲート部61の開口幅w0とほぼ同等の大きさでも良い。ゲート部61から注入された樹脂は、窪み部71に進入して窪み部71で滞留し易くなっている。 The core mold 70 is formed with a conical depression (wall surface) 71 at a position facing the opening 61 a of the gate 61. The depression 71 is recessed in a V shape when viewed from the side. The opening width w <b> 1 of the opening 71 a of the hollow portion 71 is larger than the opening width w <b> 0 of the opening 61 a of the gate portion 61. Resin that has entered through the opening 61 a is likely to enter the inside of the recess 71. The opening width w <b> 1 of the hollow portion 71 may be approximately the same as the opening width w <b> 0 of the gate portion 61. The resin injected from the gate part 61 enters the dent part 71 and is easily retained in the dent part 71.
 窪み部71の下流側には、環状凹部(環状凹溝)72が形成されている。環状凹部72は、コア型70の型面に対して凹んでいる。環状凹部72の深さh2は、窪み部71の深さh1よりも浅く設定されている。環状凹部72は、樹脂が流入した場合に窪み部71よりも溢れ易くなっている。環状凹部72は、キャビティ型60の平板部62と平板部63との境界位置に対向して形成されている。平板部62と平板部63により樹脂がガイドされて、環状凹部72の内部に流入し易くなっている。環状凹部72は、底部73と、底部73に対して傾斜し下流側になるに連れて浅くなる傾斜部74とを備える。 An annular recess (annular recess) 72 is formed on the downstream side of the recess 71. The annular recess 72 is recessed with respect to the mold surface of the core mold 70. The depth h <b> 2 of the annular recess 72 is set shallower than the depth h <b> 1 of the recess 71. The annular recess 72 is more likely to overflow than the recess 71 when the resin flows in. The annular recess 72 is formed to face the boundary position between the flat plate portion 62 and the flat plate portion 63 of the cavity mold 60. The resin is guided by the flat plate portion 62 and the flat plate portion 63 so as to easily flow into the annular recess 72. The annular recess 72 includes a bottom portion 73 and an inclined portion 74 that is inclined with respect to the bottom portion 73 and becomes shallower toward the downstream side.
 上半体45のインジェクション成形に際して、コア型70には、上側バリアシート層36aがセットされる。
 上側バリアシート層36aは、上半体45の下面45bの形状に応じて予め賦形されている。上側バリアシート層36aは、図2に示すように、下面が開放された容器形状である。上側バリアシート層36aは、上側接合部47に沿って配置される開口状の開口縁部36a1と、給油口31の位置に形成された開口状の給油口部36a2と、ゲート部61の位置に応じて形成された開口部80と、を備える。開口縁部36a1および給油口部36a2は、それぞれ屈曲しており、上半体45の樹脂の内部に埋め込まれた状態で結合される。
When the upper half 45 is injection-molded, the upper barrier sheet layer 36 a is set in the core mold 70.
The upper barrier sheet layer 36 a is shaped in advance according to the shape of the lower surface 45 b of the upper half 45. As shown in FIG. 2, the upper barrier sheet layer 36 a has a container shape with an open lower surface. The upper barrier sheet layer 36 a is arranged at the position of the opening-shaped opening edge 36 a 1 disposed along the upper bonding portion 47, the opening-shaped oil-filling port 36 a 2 formed at the position of the fuel-filling port 31, and the gate 61. And an opening 80 formed accordingly. The opening edge portion 36a1 and the oil filler port portion 36a2 are bent and joined in a state of being embedded in the resin of the upper half 45.
 上側バリアシート層36aの開口部80は、図5に示すように、ゲート部61の開口部61aを包囲するように、開口部61aの径方向外側に配置される。上側バリアシート層36aは、開口部80が、ゲート部61の開口部61aの外側にあるため、ゲート部61からの流入直後の高温、高圧の樹脂と接触することが回避され易くなっている。
 開口部80は、円環板状の屈曲形状部81を備える。屈曲形状部81は、樹脂が流動する本流部分から遠ざかるように屈曲している。屈曲形状部81は、上流側の方が深くなるように屈曲している。屈曲形状部81は、コア型70の環状凹部72に収容される。屈曲形状部81は、環状凹部72の底部73に配置される端部82と、環状凹部72の傾斜部74に配置される傾斜部83と、を備える。
As shown in FIG. 5, the opening 80 of the upper barrier sheet layer 36 a is disposed on the radially outer side of the opening 61 a so as to surround the opening 61 a of the gate portion 61. Since the upper barrier sheet layer 36 a has the opening 80 outside the opening 61 a of the gate portion 61, it is easy to avoid contact with the high-temperature and high-pressure resin immediately after flowing from the gate portion 61.
The opening 80 includes an annular plate-like bent portion 81. The bent shape portion 81 is bent so as to be away from the main flow portion where the resin flows. The bent portion 81 is bent so that the upstream side is deeper. The bent portion 81 is accommodated in the annular recess 72 of the core mold 70. The bent shape portion 81 includes an end portion 82 disposed on the bottom portion 73 of the annular recess 72 and an inclined portion 83 disposed on the inclined portion 74 of the annular recess 72.
 コア型70に上側バリアシート層36aがセットされた後に、キャビティ型60とコア型70とを閉じて締める。ゲート部61から樹脂を注入し、キャビティ型60とコア型70の間の成形空間45cに樹脂を充填する。 After the upper barrier sheet layer 36a is set on the core mold 70, the cavity mold 60 and the core mold 70 are closed and tightened. Resin is injected from the gate portion 61 to fill the molding space 45c between the cavity mold 60 and the core mold 70 with resin.
 ゲート部61に注入された樹脂は、ゲート部61に沿って矢印A1で示すように流れる。窪み部71の開口幅w1が、ゲート部61の開口幅w0に比べて大きいため、樹脂の多くは窪み部71に流入する。また、残りの樹脂は、矢印A2で示すように、窪み部71から溢れた樹脂と共に下流側に流れる。
 窪み部71に流入した樹脂は、窪み部71で滞留して樹脂だまり84を形成する。樹脂だまり84では樹脂が流動する向きや圧力が均される。窪み部71の樹脂は、側面視でV字状のコア型70の壁面にガイドされるなどして、矢印A3で示すように流れ、窪み部71から少しずつ溢れて下流側に移動する。
 窪み部71で樹脂だまり84が形成されることにより、ゲート部61から流入する樹脂に含まれる空気を抜きとりつつ、流動方向への整流が促進できる。
The resin injected into the gate portion 61 flows along the gate portion 61 as indicated by an arrow A1. Since the opening width w <b> 1 of the recessed portion 71 is larger than the opening width w <b> 0 of the gate portion 61, most of the resin flows into the recessed portion 71. The remaining resin flows downstream along with the resin overflowing from the depression 71 as indicated by an arrow A2.
Resin that has flowed into the depression 71 stays in the depression 71 to form a resin reservoir 84. In the resin reservoir 84, the direction and pressure in which the resin flows is leveled. The resin in the recess 71 flows as indicated by an arrow A3 by being guided by the wall surface of the V-shaped core mold 70 in a side view, and gradually overflows from the recess 71 and moves to the downstream side.
By forming the resin reservoir 84 in the recess 71, rectification in the flow direction can be promoted while extracting air contained in the resin flowing in from the gate 61.
 窪み部71の下流側では、樹脂は、矢印A4で示すように、環状凹部72に進入しつつ、矢印A5で示すように、上側バリアシート層36aに沿って流れる。上側バリアシート層36aは、環状凹部72に配置された屈曲形状部81を備えており、環状凹部72に進入する樹脂は、上側バリアシート層36aをコア型70に押し付けるように流動する。樹脂が上側バリアシート層36aを剥がす方向に回り込むのを防止でき、上側バリアシート層36aと注入樹脂の接合強度を向上できる。 On the downstream side of the depression 71, the resin flows along the upper barrier sheet layer 36a as indicated by the arrow A5 while entering the annular recess 72 as indicated by the arrow A4. The upper barrier sheet layer 36 a includes a bent portion 81 disposed in the annular recess 72, and the resin that enters the annular recess 72 flows so as to press the upper barrier sheet layer 36 a against the core mold 70. It is possible to prevent the resin from turning around in the direction in which the upper barrier sheet layer 36a is peeled off, and the bonding strength between the upper barrier sheet layer 36a and the injected resin can be improved.
 環状凹部72には樹脂の流動圧に関わらず樹脂が進入し易く、樹脂の流動圧に変化があっても、環状凹部72の屈曲形状部81が確実に押され易い。このため、上側バリアシート層36aの接合強度に対する樹脂の流動圧による影響を抑制でき、上側バリアシート層36aがインサートされた樹脂成形品の品質をさらに向上できる。
 上側バリアシート層36aの開口部80には樹脂だまり84が突入しており、屈曲形状部81には、整流後の樹脂が流れ易くなっている。上側バリアシート層36aには、整流後の樹脂が流れて来るため、屈曲形状部81の剥がれを防止できる。
Regardless of the resin flow pressure, the resin easily enters the annular recess 72, and even if the resin flow pressure changes, the bent portion 81 of the annular recess 72 is easily pushed reliably. For this reason, the influence of the flow pressure of the resin on the bonding strength of the upper barrier sheet layer 36a can be suppressed, and the quality of the resin molded product in which the upper barrier sheet layer 36a is inserted can be further improved.
A resin reservoir 84 protrudes into the opening 80 of the upper barrier sheet layer 36a, and the rectified resin easily flows through the bent portion 81. Since the rectified resin flows into the upper barrier sheet layer 36a, the bent portion 81 can be prevented from peeling off.
 樹脂の充填が完了すると、樹脂に圧力をかけた状態を保持しながら樹脂を冷却する。樹脂が冷却されて固化すると、成形空間45cの形状に応じた上半体45が形成される。
 上半体45には、上側バリアシート層36aがインサート結合される。
 窪み部71に応じて、固化した樹脂だまり84が形成される。樹脂だまり84は、上側バリアシート層36aの開口部80の内側部分を肉厚にしている。樹脂だまり84により、ゲート部61の開口部61aに対向する位置の肉厚部分を増加でき、上側バリアシート層36aに覆われていない影響を小さくできる。
When the filling of the resin is completed, the resin is cooled while the pressure is applied to the resin. When the resin is cooled and solidified, an upper half 45 corresponding to the shape of the molding space 45c is formed.
An upper barrier sheet layer 36 a is insert-bonded to the upper half 45.
A solidified resin pool 84 is formed according to the depression 71. The resin reservoir 84 thickens the inner part of the opening 80 of the upper barrier sheet layer 36a. The resin reservoir 84 can increase the thickness portion of the gate portion 61 at the position facing the opening 61a, and can reduce the influence of being not covered by the upper barrier sheet layer 36a.
 環状凹部72に応じて環状凸部85が形成される。環状凸部85には、上側バリアシート層36aの開口部80の屈曲形状部81が収容された状態で結合される。
 ゲート部61に応じて樹脂部86が形成される。
 キャビティ型60とコア型70と開き、固化した上半体45を取り出し、ゲート部61で固化した樹脂部86が切除され、上半体45の上面45aには図1、図2に示される切除部(除去部)86aが形成される。
 以上により、図4に示す溶着される上半体45が形成される。
An annular convex portion 85 is formed according to the annular concave portion 72. The annular convex portion 85 is joined in a state where the bent shape portion 81 of the opening 80 of the upper barrier sheet layer 36a is accommodated.
Resin portion 86 is formed in accordance with gate portion 61.
The cavity mold 60 and the core mold 70 are opened, the solidified upper half 45 is taken out, the resin part 86 solidified by the gate 61 is cut out, and the upper surface 45a of the upper half 45 is cut off as shown in FIGS. A portion (removal portion) 86a is formed.
Thus, the upper half body 45 to be welded shown in FIG. 4 is formed.
 図6は、下半体46のインジェクション成形の要部説明図である。
 燃料タンク本体35の下半体46は、金型53Bにより成形される。
 金型53Bは、下半体46の下面(外面)46a側に配置されるキャビティ型90と、下半体46の上面(内面)46b側に配置されるコア型100と、を備える。キャビティ型90と、コア型100との間の空間により、樹脂が充填されて下半体46が成形される成形空間46cが形成される。
FIG. 6 is an explanatory view of a main part of the injection molding of the lower half body 46.
The lower half 46 of the fuel tank body 35 is formed by a mold 53B.
The mold 53B includes a cavity mold 90 disposed on the lower surface (outer surface) 46a side of the lower half body 46, and a core mold 100 disposed on the upper surface (inner surface) 46b side of the lower half body 46. A space between the cavity mold 90 and the core mold 100 forms a molding space 46c in which the lower half 46 is molded by being filled with resin.
 キャビティ型90には、ゲート部(樹脂注入ゲート部)91が形成されている。ゲート部91の開口部91aは円形である。ゲート部91は、ポンプ取付口44(図2参照)が形成される際に切除される樹脂層である切除部分120に配設されている。ゲート部91は、いわゆる、ダイレクトゲートである。ゲート部91には射出成形機の射出部54(図4参照)から樹脂が注入される。ゲート部91の開口部91aを通過した樹脂が、金型53Bの成形空間46c内に充填される。成形空間46cでは、ゲート部91の開口部91aから離れるほど下流側となる。 In the cavity mold 90, a gate part (resin injection gate part) 91 is formed. The opening 91a of the gate 91 is circular. The gate portion 91 is disposed in a cut portion 120 that is a resin layer cut when the pump attachment port 44 (see FIG. 2) is formed. The gate portion 91 is a so-called direct gate. Resin is injected into the gate portion 91 from the injection portion 54 (see FIG. 4) of the injection molding machine. The resin that has passed through the opening 91a of the gate 91 is filled into the molding space 46c of the mold 53B. In the molding space 46 c, the further away from the opening 91 a of the gate portion 91, the more downstream.
 ゲート部91の開口部91aの周囲には平面部(上流側の型面)92が形成されている。平面部92は、開口状のポンプ取付口44(図2参照)が形成される切断位置92aよりも大きい。平面部92に対して下流側には、平面部92に対して段差をなす段差部94が形成されている。段差部94は、平面部92の下流側端部で構成される横壁94aと、横壁94aに対して直交する縦壁94bと、縦壁94bの下流側の端部に形成されたテーパ壁94cと、を備える。平面部92に沿って流れた樹脂は、段差部94に沿って移動し易く樹脂の流れが変わり易くなっている。 A flat portion (upstream mold surface) 92 is formed around the opening 91 a of the gate portion 91. The plane part 92 is larger than the cutting position 92a where the opening-shaped pump attachment port 44 (see FIG. 2) is formed. A stepped portion 94 that forms a step with respect to the planar portion 92 is formed downstream of the planar portion 92. The step portion 94 includes a horizontal wall 94a formed by a downstream end portion of the flat portion 92, a vertical wall 94b orthogonal to the horizontal wall 94a, and a tapered wall 94c formed at the downstream end portion of the vertical wall 94b. . The resin that has flowed along the flat portion 92 is easy to move along the stepped portion 94 and the flow of the resin is easily changed.
 段差部94の下流側には、陥没孔状の複数の保持部95が形成されている。保持部95には、ウエルドボルト118を備えたインサートプレート119が保持される。インサートプレート119は、円環板状の部材であり、一方の面119bには、4つのウエルドボルト118が同一円周上に等間隔で溶接され、他方の面119aは平坦な面に形成されている。ウエルドボルト118が保持部95に保持されることにより、インサートプレート119がゲート部91を包囲するようにして成形空間46c内に配置される。
 保持部95の上流側には、成形空間46c側に型面が膨出した形状の絞り部(抵抗部)96が設けられている。絞り部96は、樹脂の流れに対して抵抗となり、樹脂の流速を下げる。
A plurality of recessed hole-shaped holding portions 95 are formed on the downstream side of the stepped portion 94. The holding plate 95 holds an insert plate 119 having a weld bolt 118. The insert plate 119 is an annular plate-like member, and four weld bolts 118 are welded to the same circumference at equal intervals on one surface 119b, and the other surface 119a is formed as a flat surface. Yes. By holding the weld bolt 118 in the holding portion 95, the insert plate 119 is disposed in the molding space 46 c so as to surround the gate portion 91.
On the upstream side of the holding part 95, a throttle part (resistor part) 96 having a shape in which the mold surface bulges toward the molding space 46c is provided. The throttle part 96 becomes a resistance against the flow of the resin and reduces the flow rate of the resin.
 インサートプレート119は、上流側の平面部92に対してキャビティ型90側にオフセットして配置される。インサートプレート119の他方の面119aは、平面部92に対して直交する方向にオフセットδしている。平面部92に沿って流れる樹脂は、インサートプレート119の側部(側面)119cには直接は当たり難くなっており、インサートプレート119が側方から圧力を受け難くなっている。 The insert plate 119 is arranged to be offset toward the cavity mold 90 with respect to the upstream plane portion 92. The other surface 119 a of the insert plate 119 is offset δ in a direction orthogonal to the flat surface portion 92. The resin flowing along the flat surface portion 92 is difficult to directly contact the side portion (side surface) 119c of the insert plate 119, and the insert plate 119 is difficult to receive pressure from the side.
 コア型100には、ゲート部91の開口部91aに対向する位置に、平面部101が形成されている。平面部101の下流側には、ガイド型面部(徐変型面部)102が形成されている。ガイド型面部102は、下流側に進むに連れて、型面がキャビティ型90側に膨出した傾斜形状をしている。ガイド型面部102により、図2に示すように、下半体47の樹脂層の肉厚は、ゲート部91に近い上流側ほど大きく、ゲート部91から離れた下流側ほど小さくなる。 In the core mold 100, a flat surface portion 101 is formed at a position facing the opening 91a of the gate portion 91. A guide type surface portion (gradual change type surface portion) 102 is formed on the downstream side of the flat surface portion 101. The guide mold surface portion 102 has an inclined shape in which the mold surface bulges toward the cavity mold 90 as it proceeds downstream. As shown in FIG. 2, the thickness of the resin layer of the lower half 47 is larger on the upstream side closer to the gate portion 91 and smaller on the downstream side away from the gate portion 91 due to the guide mold surface portion 102.
 図6に示すように、ガイド型面部102は、段差部94よりも上流側の位置から形成されており、インサートプレート119よりも下流側の位置まで形成されている。
 樹脂はガイド型面部102により、キャビティ型90側にガイドされる。キャビティ型90側にガイドされた樹脂は、インサートプレート119の面119aに圧力を与え易くなっている。
As shown in FIG. 6, the guide mold surface portion 102 is formed from a position upstream of the stepped portion 94 and is formed to a position downstream of the insert plate 119.
The resin is guided to the cavity mold 90 side by the guide mold surface portion 102. The resin guided to the cavity mold 90 side easily applies pressure to the surface 119a of the insert plate 119.
 ガイド型面部102の上流端には、環状凹部(環状凹溝)103が形成されている。環状凹部103はコア型100の型面に対して凹んでいる。 An annular recess (annular groove) 103 is formed at the upstream end of the guide mold surface portion 102. The annular recess 103 is recessed with respect to the mold surface of the core mold 100.
 下半体46のインジェクション成形に際して、コア型100には、下側バリアシート層36bがセットされる。
 下側バリアシート層36bは、下半体46の上面46bの形状に応じて予め賦形されている。下側バリアシート層36bは、図2に示すように、上面が開放された容器形状である。下側バリアシート層36bは、下側接合部48に沿って配置される開口状の開口縁部36b1と、ゲート部91の位置に応じて形成された開口部110と、を備える。開口縁部36b1は、屈曲しており、下半体46の樹脂の内部に埋め込まれた状態で結合される。
During the injection molding of the lower half 46, the lower barrier sheet layer 36b is set in the core mold 100.
The lower barrier sheet layer 36 b is shaped in advance according to the shape of the upper surface 46 b of the lower half 46. As shown in FIG. 2, the lower barrier sheet layer 36b has a container shape with an open upper surface. The lower barrier sheet layer 36 b includes an opening-like opening edge 36 b 1 disposed along the lower bonding portion 48 and an opening 110 formed according to the position of the gate portion 91. The opening edge 36b1 is bent and joined in a state of being embedded in the resin of the lower half 46.
 下側バリアシート層36bの開口部110は、図6に示すように、ゲート部91の開口部91aを包囲するように開口部91aの径方向外側に配置される。下側バリアシート層36bは、開口部110が、ゲート部91の開口部91aの外側にあるため、ゲート部91からの流入直後の高温、高圧の樹脂と接触することが回避され易くなっている。
 開口部110は、円環板状の屈曲形状部111を備える。屈曲形状部111は、樹脂が流動する本流部分から遠ざかるように屈曲している。屈曲形状部111は、コア型100のガイド型面部102の型面形状に応じた屈曲形状をしている。屈曲形状部111は、下流側に進むに連れて、キャビティ型90側に膨出した傾斜形状をしている。屈曲形状部111の端部112は、上方に屈曲しており、コア型100の環状凹部103に収容される。
As shown in FIG. 6, the opening 110 of the lower barrier sheet layer 36 b is disposed on the radially outer side of the opening 91 a so as to surround the opening 91 a of the gate 91. In the lower barrier sheet layer 36b, since the opening 110 is outside the opening 91a of the gate 91, it is easy to avoid contact with the high-temperature and high-pressure resin immediately after flowing in from the gate 91. .
The opening 110 includes an annular plate-like bent portion 111. The bent shape portion 111 is bent so as to be away from the main flow portion where the resin flows. The bent shape portion 111 has a bent shape corresponding to the mold surface shape of the guide mold surface portion 102 of the core mold 100. The bent portion 111 has an inclined shape that bulges toward the cavity mold 90 as it proceeds downstream. An end portion 112 of the bent shape portion 111 is bent upward and is accommodated in the annular recess 103 of the core mold 100.
 コア型100に下側バリアシート層36bがセットされた後に、キャビティ型90とコア型100とを閉じて締める。ゲート部91から樹脂を注入し、キャビティ型90とコア型100の成形空間46cに樹脂を充填する。
 ゲート部91に注入された樹脂は、ゲート部91に沿って、矢印B1、B2で示すように流れる。樹脂は、ゲート部91から成形空間46cに流入すると、矢印B3で示すように、その流れの向きを変え、キャビティ型90の平面部92と、コア型100の平面部101とで挟まれた成形空間46cを流れる。平面部92と平面部101とで挟まれた空間を通過する際に、ゲート部91から流入した直後の高温、高圧の樹脂は、整流され易くなっている。
After the lower barrier sheet layer 36b is set on the core mold 100, the cavity mold 90 and the core mold 100 are closed and tightened. Resin is injected from the gate portion 91, and the molding space 46c of the cavity mold 90 and the core mold 100 is filled with the resin.
The resin injected into the gate portion 91 flows along the gate portion 91 as indicated by arrows B1 and B2. When the resin flows into the molding space 46c from the gate portion 91, the flow direction is changed as indicated by an arrow B3, and the molding is sandwiched between the planar portion 92 of the cavity mold 90 and the planar portion 101 of the core mold 100. It flows through the space 46c. When passing through the space sandwiched between the flat portion 92 and the flat portion 101, the high-temperature and high-pressure resin immediately after flowing in from the gate portion 91 is easily rectified.
 平面部101の下流側では、樹脂は、矢印B4で示すように、環状凹部103に進入しつつ、下側バリアシート層36bに沿って流れる。下側バリアシート層36bは、環状凹部103に配置された屈曲形状部111の端部112を備えており、環状凹部103に進入する樹脂は、下側バリアシート層36bをコア型100に押し付けるように流動する。樹脂が下側バリアシート層36bを剥がす方向に回り込むのを防止でき、下側バリアシート層36bと注入樹脂の接合強度を向上できる。 On the downstream side of the flat surface portion 101, the resin flows along the lower barrier sheet layer 36b while entering the annular recess 103 as indicated by an arrow B4. The lower barrier sheet layer 36 b includes the end 112 of the bent portion 111 disposed in the annular recess 103, and the resin that enters the annular recess 103 presses the lower barrier sheet layer 36 b against the core mold 100. To flow. It is possible to prevent the resin from turning around in the direction in which the lower barrier sheet layer 36b is peeled off and to improve the bonding strength between the lower barrier sheet layer 36b and the injected resin.
 また、環状凹部103に樹脂が進入するため、樹脂で下側バリアシート層36bが押され易い。その上、ガイド型面部102に配置された屈曲形状部111は、樹脂をインサートプレート119側にガイドする反作用として、樹脂からコア型100側に押される力を受ける。よって、樹脂の流動圧に変化があっても、下側バリアシート層36bは確実に押され易く、下側バリアシート層36bの接合強度に対する樹脂の流動圧による影響を抑制でき、下側バリアシート層36bがインサートされた樹脂成形品の品質をさらに向上できる。 Further, since the resin enters the annular recess 103, the lower barrier sheet layer 36b is easily pushed by the resin. In addition, the bent portion 111 disposed on the guide mold surface portion 102 receives a force pushed from the resin toward the core mold 100 as a reaction for guiding the resin toward the insert plate 119. Therefore, even if there is a change in the flow pressure of the resin, the lower barrier sheet layer 36b is easily pushed, and the influence of the flow pressure of the resin on the bonding strength of the lower barrier sheet layer 36b can be suppressed. The quality of the resin molded product in which the layer 36b is inserted can be further improved.
 ガイド型面部102および屈曲形状部111は、インサートプレート119の面119aに対向する位置において、上流側(一側方)から下流側(他側方)に掛けて徐々にキャビティ型90側に膨出し、樹脂層の厚さを徐変させる形状をしている。樹脂は、キャビティ型90側にガイドされ、矢印B5で示すように、インサートプレート119の面119aに向かって流れ易くなっている。インサートプレート119の面119aの方向へ樹脂が流れる向きを偏向できるので、インサートプレート119が面119aで樹脂から圧力を受け易い。インサートプレート119がキャビティ型90側に押されるため、樹脂の流れでインサートプレート119が浮き上がったり捩じれたりし難くなっており、インサートプレート119の位置ズレや変形を防止することが出来る。 The guide mold surface portion 102 and the bent shape portion 111 gradually bulge toward the cavity mold 90 side from the upstream side (one side) to the downstream side (the other side) at a position facing the surface 119a of the insert plate 119. The shape of the resin layer is gradually changed. The resin is guided to the cavity mold 90 side and easily flows toward the surface 119a of the insert plate 119 as indicated by an arrow B5. Since the direction in which the resin flows toward the surface 119a of the insert plate 119 can be deflected, the insert plate 119 is likely to receive pressure from the resin on the surface 119a. Since the insert plate 119 is pushed toward the cavity mold 90, the insert plate 119 is hardly lifted or twisted by the flow of the resin, and displacement and deformation of the insert plate 119 can be prevented.
 特に、インサートプレート119は、キャビティ型90の段差部94の下流側に配置されており、インサートプレート119の面119aは、上流側に位置する平面部92に対して、キャビティ型90側にオフセットδされている。矢印B5で示すように、インサートプレート119に向かって流れた樹脂は、矢印B7で示すようにインサートプレート119の面119aに沿って流れたり、矢印B6で示すように段差部94とインサートプレート119の側部119cとの間を流れ、矢印B8で示すようにインサートプレート119の面119bに沿って流れる。オフセットδの分だけインサートプレート119の両側の面119a、119bの流量差による圧力差を発生できるため、インサートプレート119をキャビティ型90側に押し付けやすく、さらにインサートプレート119の位置ズレや変形を防止できる。 In particular, the insert plate 119 is disposed on the downstream side of the stepped portion 94 of the cavity mold 90, and the surface 119a of the insert plate 119 is offset δ toward the cavity mold 90 with respect to the flat surface portion 92 located on the upstream side. Has been. As indicated by the arrow B5, the resin flowing toward the insert plate 119 flows along the surface 119a of the insert plate 119 as indicated by the arrow B7, or the step portion 94 and the insert plate 119 as indicated by the arrow B6. It flows between the side portions 119c and flows along the surface 119b of the insert plate 119 as indicated by an arrow B8. Since the pressure difference due to the flow rate difference between the surfaces 119a and 119b on both sides of the insert plate 119 can be generated by the offset δ, the insert plate 119 can be easily pressed against the cavity mold 90 side, and further, the displacement and deformation of the insert plate 119 can be prevented. .
 インサートプレート119の配置位置に対して、下側バリアシート層36bの端部112を収容する環状凹部103は上流側に形成されている。そのため、下側バリアシート層36bの捲れを環状凹部103で防止しつつ、ガイド型面部102により安定的に樹脂をインサートプレート119側にガイドすることができ、インサートプレート119への樹脂の流れを阻害することがない。よって、下側バリアシート層36bやインサートプレート119のインサート結合についてさらに品質を向上できる。 The annular recess 103 for accommodating the end 112 of the lower barrier sheet layer 36b is formed on the upstream side with respect to the arrangement position of the insert plate 119. Therefore, the resin can be stably guided to the insert plate 119 side by the guide mold surface portion 102 while preventing the lower barrier sheet layer 36b from being bent by the annular recess 103, and the flow of the resin to the insert plate 119 is inhibited. There is nothing to do. Therefore, the quality can be further improved with respect to the insert bonding of the lower barrier sheet layer 36b and the insert plate 119.
 樹脂の充填が完了すると、樹脂に圧力をかけた状態を保持しながら樹脂を冷却する。樹脂が冷却されて固化すると、成形空間46cの形状に応じた下半体46が形成される。
 下半体46には、下側バリアシート層36bがインサート結合される。
 下半体46には、インサートプレート119およびウエルドボルト118がインサート結合される。
 環状凹部103に応じて環状凸部114が形成される。環状凸部114には、下側バリアシート層36bの開口部110の端部112が収容された状態で結合されている。
 段差部94に応じて段差部113が形成され、横壁94aと縦壁94bとテーパ壁94cとに応じて、横壁113aと縦壁(壁面)113bとテーパ壁113cとが形成される。
 ガイド型面部102に応じて、徐変肉厚部(樹脂層)115が形成される。徐変肉厚部115は、コア型100のガイド型面部102とキャビティ型90の平面部92との間の位置で形成された上流側流入部115aを備える。また、徐変肉厚部115には、絞り部96に応じて凹み115bが形成される。
 ゲート部91と、平面部92と平面部101の間に応じて、切除部分120が形成される。
When the filling of the resin is completed, the resin is cooled while the pressure is applied to the resin. When the resin is cooled and solidified, a lower half 46 corresponding to the shape of the molding space 46c is formed.
A lower barrier sheet layer 36 b is insert-bonded to the lower half 46.
An insert plate 119 and a weld bolt 118 are insert-coupled to the lower half 46.
An annular convex portion 114 is formed according to the annular concave portion 103. The annular protrusion 114 is coupled in a state where the end 112 of the opening 110 of the lower barrier sheet layer 36b is accommodated.
A step 113 is formed according to the step 94, and a horizontal wall 113a, a vertical wall (wall surface) 113b, and a taper wall 113c are formed according to the horizontal wall 94a, the vertical wall 94b, and the taper wall 94c.
A gradually changing thick portion (resin layer) 115 is formed in accordance with the guide mold surface portion 102. The gradually changing thickness portion 115 includes an upstream inflow portion 115 a formed at a position between the guide die surface portion 102 of the core die 100 and the flat portion 92 of the cavity die 90. Further, the gradually changing thickness portion 115 is formed with a recess 115 b in accordance with the throttle portion 96.
A cut portion 120 is formed between the gate portion 91 and the plane portion 92 and the plane portion 101.
 図7は、下半体46を上面(内面)46b側から見た説明図である。
 図6、図7を参照して、下半体46は、環状凸部114と段差部113との間に設定された切断位置92aで円形状に切断される。これにより、ゲート部91の樹脂を有する切除部分120が除去される。
 下半体46には開口状に切断された面状の切除部(除去部)116が形成される。
 下側バリアシート層36bには、屈曲形状部111の端部112側の部分が切り落とされて、開口部110よりも大きい開口状に切断された面状の切除部(開口部)117が形成される。切除部116と切除部117とは面一状に形成されており、ポンプ取付口(補器取付用開口、関連部品取り付用の開口)44を構成する。
 本実施の形態では、下側バリアシート層36bの開口部110は、切除される切除部分120内に配置して成形する。そして、下側バリアシート層36bの開口部110の端部112から下流側に離間した捲れ発生のない切断位置92aで切除するので、下側バリアシート層36bの結合品質が向上している。また、ポンプ取付口44を形成するための切除加工と同時にゲート部91の樹脂も除去されるので加工が簡略化できる。
 以上のように、図4に示す溶着される下半体46が形成される。
FIG. 7 is an explanatory view of the lower half body 46 as viewed from the upper surface (inner surface) 46b side.
With reference to FIGS. 6 and 7, the lower half 46 is cut into a circular shape at a cutting position 92 a set between the annular convex portion 114 and the stepped portion 113. Thereby, the cut portion 120 having the resin of the gate portion 91 is removed.
The lower half 46 is formed with a planar cut portion (removal portion) 116 cut into an opening.
In the lower barrier sheet layer 36b, a portion on the end 112 side of the bent portion 111 is cut off, and a planar cut portion (opening) 117 cut into an opening larger than the opening 110 is formed. The The excision part 116 and the excision part 117 are formed to be flush with each other, and constitute a pump attachment port (an opening for attaching an auxiliary device, an opening for attaching a related part) 44.
In the present embodiment, the opening 110 of the lower barrier sheet layer 36b is disposed and molded in the cut portion 120 to be cut. And since it cuts in the cutting position 92a which is spaced apart from the edge part 112 of the opening part 110 of the lower side barrier sheet layer 36b and which does not generate | occur | produce, the bonding quality of the lower side barrier sheet layer 36b is improved. Further, since the resin of the gate portion 91 is also removed at the same time as the excision process for forming the pump attachment port 44, the process can be simplified.
As described above, the lower half body 46 to be welded shown in FIG. 4 is formed.
 図8は、燃料ポンプ43の取り付け構造の説明図である。
 燃料ポンプ43は、溶着後の燃料タンク30の下半体46に取り付けられる。
 燃料ポンプ43は、円筒状のポンプ本体部43aと、ポンプ本体部43aの下部に設けられたフランジ部121と、を備える。フランジ部121には固定孔(不図示)が4つ形成されており、固定孔(不図示)には、各ウエルドボルト118が挿通される。
 ポンプ本体部43aはポンプ取付口44に挿入され、フランジ部121が下半体46の下面46aに当接される。
FIG. 8 is an explanatory diagram of the mounting structure of the fuel pump 43.
The fuel pump 43 is attached to the lower half 46 of the fuel tank 30 after welding.
The fuel pump 43 includes a cylindrical pump main body 43a and a flange 121 provided at the lower part of the pump main body 43a. Four fixing holes (not shown) are formed in the flange portion 121, and each weld bolt 118 is inserted into the fixing hole (not shown).
The pump main body 43 a is inserted into the pump attachment port 44, and the flange 121 is brought into contact with the lower surface 46 a of the lower half 46.
 ポンプ本体部43aと、下半体46の段差部(シール部材接合部)113との間には、Oリング(シール部材)122が配置される。Oリング122は下半体46とポンプ本体部43aの間の隙間を密閉する。Oリング122は、段差部113の横壁113aと縦壁113bに当接させて配置することで位置決めが容易になっている。Oリング122は、インサートプレート119に対する位置合わせ精度も向上する。Oリング122は、インサートプレート119に固定される燃料ポンプ43に対しても位置ずれが少なく、確実に、隙間を密閉し易くなっている。 An O-ring (seal member) 122 is disposed between the pump body 43a and the step part (seal member joint) 113 of the lower half 46. The O-ring 122 seals a gap between the lower half body 46 and the pump main body 43a. The O-ring 122 is positioned easily by being disposed in contact with the horizontal wall 113a and the vertical wall 113b of the step 113. The O-ring 122 also improves the alignment accuracy with respect to the insert plate 119. The O-ring 122 is less displaced with respect to the fuel pump 43 fixed to the insert plate 119, and it is easy to reliably seal the gap.
 燃料ポンプ43のフランジ部121には、Oリング122に下方から当接する当接部121aが形成されている。Oリング122は、横壁113aと縦壁113bと当接部121aとにより三方から当接されるため、Oリング122の変形制御が容易であり、さらに密閉し易くなっている。テーパ壁113cの傾斜により、ポンプ本体部43aをポンプ取付口44に挿入し易くなっている。 The flange portion 121 of the fuel pump 43 is formed with a contact portion 121a that contacts the O-ring 122 from below. Since the O-ring 122 is abutted from three sides by the horizontal wall 113a, the vertical wall 113b, and the abutting portion 121a, the deformation control of the O-ring 122 is easy and it is easier to seal.
