Description

この発明は、流体貯留容器に関する。   The present invention relates to a fluid storage container.

ガスタンクの中には、樹脂製の内殻（以下、「樹脂ライナ」という。）を備えるものがある。樹脂ライナは、成型の都合上、複数のライナ部品を、レーザ溶着により接合して完成される構造になっているものが多い。以下、各ライナ部品において、レーザ溶着により接合される箇所を、「接合部」ともいう。   Some gas tanks have a resin inner shell (hereinafter referred to as “resin liner”). Many resin liners have a structure in which a plurality of liner parts are joined by laser welding for the convenience of molding. Hereinafter, in each liner component, a portion to be joined by laser welding is also referred to as a “joint portion”.

レーザ溶着により樹脂部品を接合する場合には、各樹脂部品の接合部を、適度な圧力で押し付ける必要がある。そこで、従来は、ライナ部品の接合部が接触するように組み合わせた状態で、その内部と外部の圧力差を設けることによって、接合部を適度な圧力で押し付けた状態にして、レーザ溶着を行う技術が提案されている（例えば、特許文献１参照）。   When joining resin parts by laser welding, it is necessary to press the joining part of each resin part with an appropriate pressure. Therefore, conventionally, a technique for performing laser welding in a state where the joint part of the liner part is in contact with each other and a pressure difference between the inside and the outside is provided to press the joint part with an appropriate pressure. Has been proposed (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

特開２００６−２４２２４７号公報JP 2006-242247 A

しかしながら、上記した特許文献１に記載された方法では、レーザ溶着により接合された接合部に、充分な接着強度が得られないという問題があった。なお、このような問題は、内部に液体を貯留するタンクを含め、種々の流体貯留容器に用いられる樹脂ライナに共通する問題であった。   However, the above-described method described in Patent Document 1 has a problem in that sufficient bonding strength cannot be obtained at a bonded portion bonded by laser welding. Such a problem is a problem common to resin liners used for various fluid storage containers including a tank for storing a liquid therein.

そこで、本発明は、このような課題に鑑みてなされたものであり、複数のライナ部品の互いの接合部が接合されて成る樹脂ライナにおいて、接合部の接着強度を向上させる技術を提供することを目的とする。   Therefore, the present invention has been made in view of such a problem, and provides a technique for improving the adhesive strength of a joint portion in a resin liner in which joint portions of a plurality of liner parts are joined to each other. With the goal.

本発明は、上述の課題の少なくとも一部を解決するためになされたものであり、以下の形態又は適用例として実現することが可能である。   SUMMARY An advantage of some aspects of the invention is to solve at least a part of the problems described above, and the invention can be implemented as the following forms or application examples.

［適用例１］ 流体貯留容器に用いられる樹脂ライナであって、複数のライナ部品の互いの接合部が接合されて成る前記樹脂ライナの製造方法であって、
（ａ）少なくとも２つの前記ライナ部品の互いの前記接合部を接触させた状態に組み合わせたライナ組立体を生成する工程と、
（ｂ）前記ライナ組立体において、接触された前記接合部の少なくとも一部を、保持具によって、保持する工程と、
（ｃ）密閉された前記ライナ組立体の内部の圧力を制御しつつ、レーザ溶着により、接触された前記接合部を接合する工程と、
を備え、
前記工程（ｃ）は、前記圧力の制御において、
（ｃ１）密閉された前記ライナ組立体の内部の圧力を前記ライナ組立体の外部の圧力よりも高い、第１の値に制御する工程と、
（ｃ２）前記工程（ｃ１）の後に、密閉された前記ライナ組立体の内部の圧力を前記第１の値よりも低く、前記ライナ組立体の外部の圧力よりも高い第２の値に制御する工程と、
を備える、樹脂ライナの製造方法。 [Application Example 1] A resin liner used for a fluid storage container, wherein the joint parts of a plurality of liner parts are joined to each other.
(A) generating a liner assembly that combines at least two of the liner parts in contact with each other;
(B) in the liner assembly, a step of holding at least a part of the contacted contact portion by a holder;
(C) joining the contacted joints by laser welding while controlling the pressure inside the sealed liner assembly;
With
In the step (c), in the control of the pressure,
(C1) controlling the pressure inside the sealed liner assembly to a first value higher than the pressure outside the liner assembly;
(C2) After the step (c1), the pressure inside the sealed liner assembly is controlled to a second value lower than the first value and higher than the pressure outside the liner assembly. Process,
A method for producing a resin liner.

この樹脂ライナの製造方法によれば、ライナ組立体の外圧よりも内圧が高くなるように制御すると共に、接合部を外部から保持具によって保持しているため、ライナ部品の互いの接合部の密着性が向上される。ライナ部品の互いの接合部が密着された状態で、レーザ溶着により接合部を接合(接着)することによって、接合部の接着強度が向上される。   According to this resin liner manufacturing method, the inner pressure is controlled to be higher than the outer pressure of the liner assembly, and the joint is held by the holder from the outside. Is improved. By bonding (bonding) the bonding parts by laser welding in a state where the bonding parts of the liner parts are in close contact with each other, the bonding strength of the bonding parts is improved.

また、工程（ｃ）において、ライナの内圧を、第１の内圧から第２の内圧に下げることによって、接合部に過剰に圧力がかかることによるバリの生成を抑制することができる。   Further, in the step (c), by reducing the internal pressure of the liner from the first internal pressure to the second internal pressure, it is possible to suppress the generation of burrs due to excessive pressure applied to the joint portion.

［適用例２］ 適用例１に記載の樹脂ライナの製造方法において、
前記工程（ｂ）において、前記保持具は、互いの前記接合部が接触される接触面であって、前記ライナ組立体の内側から外側に向かう向きと交わる向きの接触面の全体を加圧するように配置され、
前記保持具は、レーザ透過性の材料より成る、樹脂ライナの製造方法。 [Application Example 2] In the method for producing a resin liner according to Application Example 1,
In the step (b), the holding tool pressurizes the entire contact surface, which is a contact surface with which the joints are brought into contact with each other, and intersects the direction from the inner side to the outer side of the liner assembly. Placed in
The method of manufacturing a resin liner, wherein the holder is made of a laser transmissive material.

このように、保持具を配置すると、レーザ光の照射経路の途中に保持具が入る場合が多い。このとき、レーザ透過性の保持具を用いると、レーザ光が保持具を透過するため、互いの接合部が接触される接触面にレーザ光を照射することが可能となる。互いの接合部が接触される接触面の全体を充分に加圧しつつレーザ光を照射することにより、接合部同士の接着強度をさらに向上させることができる。   As described above, when the holder is arranged, the holder often enters the middle of the laser light irradiation path. At this time, when a laser transmissive holder is used, the laser light is transmitted through the holder, so that it is possible to irradiate the laser beam onto the contact surface where the joint portions are in contact with each other. By irradiating the laser beam while sufficiently pressurizing the entire contact surface with which the joint portions are brought into contact with each other, the adhesive strength between the joint portions can be further improved.

［適用例３］ 適用例１または２に記載の樹脂ライナの製造方法において、
前記工程（ｃ）において、前記ライナ組立体が回転されることによって、全周にわたる前記接合部がレーザ溶着により接合される場合に、前記ライナ組立体の回転と関連付けて、前記ライナ組立体の内部の圧力を、前記第１の値から前記第２の値へと減圧するように制御する、樹脂ライナの製造方法。 [Application Example 3] In the method for producing a resin liner according to Application Example 1 or 2,
In the step (c), when the liner assembly is rotated so that the joint portion over the entire circumference is joined by laser welding, the inside of the liner assembly is associated with the rotation of the liner assembly. A method for manufacturing a resin liner, wherein the pressure is controlled so as to reduce the pressure from the first value to the second value.

このようにすると、ライナ組立体が回転されるため、例えば、レーザ光を発振するレーザ発振機を固定して、一定の方向にレーザを発振させれば、樹脂ライナの全周に亘る接合部を、容易にレーザ溶着することができる。例えば、ライナ組立体を３回転させることによって、接合部同士が完全に接合される場合に、ライナ組立体の内部の圧力を、１回転目は第１の値に制御して、２回転目と３回点目は第２の値に制御するというように、ライナ組立体の回転と関連付けてライナ組立体の内部の圧力を制御すると、ライナ組立体の内部の圧力を容易に制御することができる。   In this way, since the liner assembly is rotated, for example, if a laser oscillator that oscillates laser light is fixed and the laser is oscillated in a certain direction, the joint portion over the entire circumference of the resin liner is formed. Can be easily laser-welded. For example, when the joints are completely joined by rotating the liner assembly three times, the pressure inside the liner assembly is controlled to the first value for the first rotation, When the pressure inside the liner assembly is controlled in association with the rotation of the liner assembly, such as controlling the second time to the second value, the pressure inside the liner assembly can be easily controlled. .

［適用例４］ 適用例２または３に記載の樹脂ライナの製造方法において、
接合される２つの前記ライナ部品は、レーザ透過率の高い第１のライナ部品と、レーザ透過率の低い第２のライナ部品とを含み、
前記レーザ溶着を行う際に、レーザ光は、前記保持具と、前記第１のライナ部品とを透過して、前記第２のライナ部品に到達するように照射される、樹脂ライナの製造方法。 [Application Example 4] In the method for producing a resin liner according to Application Example 2 or 3,
The two liner parts to be joined include a first liner part having a high laser transmittance and a second liner part having a low laser transmittance,
When performing the laser welding, the laser beam is irradiated so as to pass through the holder and the first liner part and reach the second liner part.

The outer shell 20 has pressure resistance. In this embodiment, an epoxy resin is used as the plastic.

バルブ側口金３０は、略円筒状を成し、樹脂ライナ１０と外殻２０との間に嵌入されて、固定されている。バルブ側口金３０の略円柱状の開口が、高圧水素タンク１００の開口として機能する。本実施例において、バルブ側口金３０は、ステンレスから成るが、アルミニウム等他の金属から成るものであってもよいし、樹脂製でもよい。バルブ５０は、円柱状の部分に、雄ねじが形成されており、バルブ側口金３０の内側面に形成されている雌ねじに螺合されることにより、バルブ５０によって、バルブ側口金３０の開口が閉じられる。エンド側口金４０は、アルミニウムから成り、一部分が外部に露出した状態で組みつけられ、タンク内部の熱を、外部に導く働きをするものである。   The valve side cap 30 has a substantially cylindrical shape, and is fitted and fixed between the resin liner 10 and the outer shell 20. The substantially cylindrical opening of the valve side cap 30 functions as an opening of the high-pressure hydrogen tank 100. In the present embodiment, the valve side cap 30 is made of stainless steel, but may be made of other metals such as aluminum, or may be made of resin. The valve 50 is formed with a male screw in a cylindrical portion, and is screwed into a female screw formed on the inner surface of the valve side cap 30, whereby the valve 50 closes the opening of the valve side cap 30. It is done. The end side cap 40 is made of aluminum, and is assembled with a part thereof exposed to the outside, and serves to guide the heat inside the tank to the outside.

図２は、バルブ側ライナ部品１０ｖとエンド側ライナ部品１０ｅの断面構成を概略的に示す断面図である。図２も、図１と同様に、高圧水素タンク１００の中心軸に平行で中心軸を通る切断面で切断された断面図を示している。バルブ側ライナ部品１０ｖと、エンド側ライナ部品１０ｅとは、樹脂ライナ１０を長手方向に垂直に２分割したような形状を成す。   FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view schematically showing a cross-sectional configuration of the valve side liner part 10v and the end side liner part 10e. FIG. 2 also shows a cross-sectional view taken along a cutting plane parallel to the central axis of the high-pressure hydrogen tank 100 and passing through the central axis, as in FIG. The valve-side liner part 10v and the end-side liner part 10e are shaped so that the resin liner 10 is divided into two perpendicular to the longitudinal direction.

バルブ側ライナ部品１０ｖは、円筒の一端が縮径した略釣鐘形状を成す。バルブ側ライナ部品１０ｖの縮径した一端には、バルブ側口金３０を圧入可能な口金圧入部１４ｖが形成されている。バルブ側ライナ部品１０ｖの他端には、エンド側ライナ部品１０ｅの接合部１２ｅ（後述する）と接合される接合部１２ｖが形成されている。   The valve side liner part 10v has a substantially bell shape in which one end of a cylinder is reduced in diameter. A base press-fit portion 14v into which the valve-side base 30 can be press-fitted is formed at one end of the valve-side liner component 10v having a reduced diameter. At the other end of the valve side liner part 10v, a joint part 12v joined to a joint part 12e (described later) of the end side liner part 10e is formed.

エンド側ライナ部品１０ｅも、バルブ側ライナ部品１０ｖと同様に、円筒の一端が縮径した略釣鐘形状を成す。エンド側ライナ部品１０ｅの縮径した一端には、エンド側口金４０を圧入可能な口金圧入部１４ｅが形成されている。エンド側ライナ部品１０ｅの他端には、バルブ側ライナ部品１０ｖの接合部１２ｖと接合される接合部１２ｅが形成されている。接合部１２ｖと接合部１２ｅとは、図２に拡大して示すように、組み合わせると、互いに嵌合するような形状に形成されている。図２に矢印で示すように、バルブ側ライナ部品１０ｖの接合部１２ｖと、エンド側ライナ部品１０ｅの接合部１２ｅとが接触するように組み合わせて、接触された接合部を、レーザ溶着により接合することにより、樹脂ライナ１０が完成する。   Similarly to the valve side liner part 10v, the end side liner part 10e also has a substantially bell shape in which one end of the cylinder is reduced in diameter. A base press-fit portion 14e into which the end-side base 40 can be press-fitted is formed at one end of the end-side liner component 10e having a reduced diameter. At the other end of the end side liner part 10e, a joint part 12e joined to the joint part 12v of the valve side liner part 10v is formed. As shown in an enlarged view in FIG. 2, the joint 12 v and the joint 12 e are formed in shapes that fit together when combined. As shown by the arrows in FIG. 2, the joint portion 12v of the valve-side liner component 10v and the joint portion 12e of the end-side liner component 10e are combined so as to contact each other, and the contacted joint portion is joined by laser welding. Thus, the resin liner 10 is completed.

バルブ側ライナ部品１０ｖは、レーザ透過性を有するレーザ透過性樹脂部品であり、エンド側ライナ部品１０ｅは、レーザ吸収性を有するレーザ吸収性樹脂部品である。本実施例において、バルブ側ライナ部品１０ｖおよびエンド側ライナ部品１０ｅは、共にナイロン６（ＰＡ６）から成る。エンド側ライナ部品１０ｅは、ナイロン６に、黒色の顔料（着色料）を混入することにより、レーザ透過性を低減させて、レーザ吸収性樹脂部品として構成されている。   The valve-side liner component 10v is a laser-transmitting resin component having laser transmission, and the end-side liner component 10e is a laser-absorbing resin component having laser absorption. In this embodiment, the valve side liner part 10v and the end side liner part 10e are both made of nylon 6 (PA6). The end-side liner part 10e is configured as a laser-absorbing resin part by reducing the laser transmittance by mixing a black pigment (colorant) into the nylon 6.

図３は、高圧水素タンク１００の製造工程を示すフローチャートである。まず、樹脂ライナ１０を製造する(ステップＳ１００)。樹脂ライナ１０の製造工程については、後に詳述する。   FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing the manufacturing process of the high-pressure hydrogen tank 100. First, the resin liner 10 is manufactured (step S100). The manufacturing process of the resin liner 10 will be described in detail later.

そして、ＦＷ法によって、外殻２０を形成する。具体的には、ステップＳ１００によって完成された樹脂ライナ１０を、マンドレルとして用い、エポキシ樹脂を含浸させたカーボン繊維を、樹脂ライナ１０の周囲に、巻き付ける（ステップＳ２０２）。その後、エポキシ樹脂を含浸させたカーボン繊維を、樹脂ライナ１０の周囲に巻き付けたものを、加熱炉にて加熱して、エポキシ樹脂を硬化させる（ステップＳ２０４）。エポキシ樹脂が硬化すると、ＣＦＲＰから成る外殻２０が形成され、高圧水素タンク１００が完成する。なお、外殻２０を形成する場合に、加熱炉にて加熱する代わりに、大気中に放置して、エポキシ樹脂を硬化させてもよい。   Then, the outer shell 20 is formed by the FW method. Specifically, the resin liner 10 completed in step S100 is used as a mandrel, and a carbon fiber impregnated with an epoxy resin is wound around the resin liner 10 (step S202). Thereafter, the carbon fiber impregnated with the epoxy resin is wound around the resin liner 10 and heated in a heating furnace to cure the epoxy resin (step S204). When the epoxy resin is cured, an outer shell 20 made of CFRP is formed, and the high-pressure hydrogen tank 100 is completed. When forming the outer shell 20, the epoxy resin may be cured by being left in the atmosphere instead of being heated in the heating furnace.

図４、５は、樹脂ライナ１０の製造工程を示すフローチャートである。まず、バルブ側ライナ部品１０ｖにバルブ側口金３０を組み付け、エンド側ライナ部品１０ｅにエンド側口金４０を組み付ける(ステップＳ１０２)。各ライナ部品１０ｖ、１０ｅの口金圧入部１４ｅ、１４ｖに各口金３０、４０をそれぞれ圧入することによって、組み付けることができる。図４では、エンド側ライナ部品１０ｅにエンド側口金４０を組み付ける図を省略している。なお、ステップＳ１０２の後に、アニール処理を行なう工程を設けても良い。アニール処理を行うことにより、バルブ側ライナ部品１０ｖ、エンド側ライナ部品１０ｅの寸法が安定する。また、アニール処理を行うことにより、バルブ側ライナ部品１０ｖ、エンド側ライナ部品１０ｅに含まれる水分が蒸発するため、溶着し易くなり、接着強度が向上する。   4 and 5 are flowcharts showing the manufacturing process of the resin liner 10. First, the valve side cap 30 is assembled to the valve side liner component 10v, and the end side cap 40 is assembled to the end side liner component 10e (step S102). The liner parts 10v and 10e can be assembled by press-fitting the bases 30 and 40 into the base press-fit portions 14e and 14v of the liner parts 10v and 10e, respectively. In FIG. 4, the illustration of assembling the end cap 40 to the end liner part 10e is omitted. Note that a step of performing an annealing process may be provided after step S102. By performing the annealing treatment, the dimensions of the valve side liner part 10v and the end side liner part 10e are stabilized. Moreover, since the moisture contained in the valve-side liner component 10v and the end-side liner component 10e evaporates by performing the annealing process, it becomes easy to weld and the adhesive strength is improved.

そして、口金が組み付けられたバルブ側ライナ部品１０ｖの接合部１２ｖと、エンド側ライナ部品１０ｅの接合部１２ｅとを、図２に示すように嵌合させて、バルブ側ライナ部品１０ｖとエンド側ライナ部品１０ｅとを組み付ける(ステップＳ１０４)。以下、バルブ側ライナ部品１０ｖとエンド側ライナ部品１０ｅとを組み付けたものを、「ライナ組立体１０ｂ」という。   Then, the joint part 12v of the valve side liner part 10v assembled with the base and the joint part 12e of the end side liner part 10e are fitted as shown in FIG. 2, and the valve side liner part 10v and the end side liner are fitted. The component 10e is assembled (step S104). Hereinafter, the assembly of the valve side liner part 10v and the end side liner part 10e is referred to as a “liner assembly 10b”.

その後、接合部１２ｖと接合部１２ｅとを嵌合させた部分に被せるように、ライナ組立体１０ｂに治具２００を取り付ける(ステップＳ１０６)。治具２００は、バルブ側ライナ部品１０ｖとエンド側ライナ部品１０ｅとの接合部を、外部から押さえて、適度な圧力を加えるための治具である。   Thereafter, the jig 200 is attached to the liner assembly 10b so as to cover the portion where the joint portion 12v and the joint portion 12e are fitted (step S106). The jig 200 is a jig for applying an appropriate pressure by pressing the joint between the valve side liner part 10v and the end side liner part 10e from the outside.

図６は、治具２００の構成を概略的に示す図である。図６には、治具２００の構成を説明するために、治具２００と共に、ライナ組立体１０ｂを図示している。図６（Ａ）、（Ｃ）では、治具２００を、ライナ組立体１０ｂに嵌めた状態を、バルブ側ライナ部品１０ｖ側から見て示し、図６（Ｂ）、（Ｄ）では、ライナ組立体１０ｂに嵌めた状態を、１０ｂの側面から見て示す。   FIG. 6 is a diagram schematically showing the configuration of the jig 200. FIG. 6 illustrates the liner assembly 10 b together with the jig 200 in order to explain the configuration of the jig 200. 6 (A) and 6 (C) show the state where the jig 200 is fitted to the liner assembly 10b as viewed from the valve side liner part 10v side. In FIGS. 6 (B) and 6 (D), the liner assembly is shown. The state fitted to the solid 10b is shown as seen from the side of 10b.

図６(Ａ)に示すように、治具２００は、四等分された環状を成す分割環２０２を４つと、各分割環２０２を接続するためのねじ２０４を４本、備える。ねじ２０４によって、分割環２０２が互いに離間した状態で接続することができる(図６（Ａ）)。図６（Ａ）、（Ｂ）に示すように、各分割環２０２が離間して接続された状態で、治具２００の内径は、バルブ側ライナ部品１０ｖの外形よりも大きくなるように構成されている。したがって、治具２００を各分割環２０２を離間した状態にして、その輪の中にライナ組立体１０ｂ通すことができる(図６（Ａ）、（Ｂ）)。   As shown in FIG. 6 (A), the jig 200 includes four divided rings 202 that form an equally divided ring, and four screws 204 for connecting each divided ring 202. The split rings 202 can be connected in a state of being separated from each other by the screw 204 (FIG. 6A). As shown in FIGS. 6A and 6B, the inner diameter of the jig 200 is configured to be larger than the outer shape of the valve-side liner component 10v in a state where the divided rings 202 are connected to be separated from each other. ing. Therefore, it is possible to pass the liner assembly 10b through the ring with the jig 200 separated from each of the divided rings 202 (FIGS. 6A and 6B).

また、ねじ２０４を締めると、隣り合う分割環２０２が接触して、全体として環状を成す(図６（Ｃ）)。分割環２０２の一方の端には、ねじ２０４が螺合されるねじ山が形成された孔が形成されている。そして、分割環２０２の他方の端には、外部から六角レンチ等でねじ２０４を締めるための貫通孔が形成されている。この貫通孔は、ねじ２０４のねじ山が嵌合するように形成されている。４つの分割環２０２の、ねじ山が形成されている一端と、貫通孔が形成されている他端とを、それぞれ向かい合わせて、ねじ２０４で締め付けることにより、図６（Ｃ）に示すように、環状を成す治具２００が完成する。   When the screw 204 is tightened, the adjacent split rings 202 come into contact with each other to form a ring as a whole (FIG. 6C). One end of the split ring 202 is formed with a hole in which a screw thread is screwed. At the other end of the split ring 202, a through hole is formed for tightening the screw 204 from the outside with a hexagon wrench or the like. The through hole is formed so that the screw thread of the screw 204 is fitted. As shown in FIG. 6C, the one end of the four split rings 202 where the thread is formed and the other end where the through hole is formed face each other and are tightened with the screws 204. The annular jig 200 is completed.

治具２００は、環状になったときに（図６（Ｃ））、バルブ側ライナ部品１０ｖとエンド側ライナ部品１０ｅとの接合部を外部から適度な圧力で押さえることができるように構成されている（図６（Ｃ）、(Ｄ)）。なお、治具２００が環状になったときに、バルブ側ライナ部品１０ｖとエンド側ライナ部品１０ｅとの接合部を、外側から単に保持するように構成してもよい。単に保持するような構成にしても、ライナ組立体１０ｂの内圧によって、バルブ側ライナ部品１０ｖとエンド側ライナ部品１０ｅとの接合部は、押圧される。   The jig 200 is configured to be able to hold the joint between the valve-side liner component 10v and the end-side liner component 10e from outside with an appropriate pressure when it is annular (FIG. 6C). (FIGS. 6C and 6D). In addition, when the jig | tool 200 becomes cyclic | annular, you may comprise so that the junction part of the valve side liner component 10v and the end side liner component 10e may be hold | maintained only from the outer side. Even if it is configured to simply hold, the joint between the valve side liner part 10v and the end side liner part 10e is pressed by the internal pressure of the liner assembly 10b.

本実施例において、治具２００はガラス製である。ガラスは、レーザ透過性が高いため、治具２００の上からレーザ光を照射しても、レーザ光は、治具２００を透過して、その下の部品に到達する。したがって、接合部１２ｖと接合部１２ｅとが組み合わされた部分を、覆うように治具２００を取り付けて、接合部１２ｖ、１２ｅを直接押圧しても、レーザ溶着により、接合部１２ｖと接合部１２ｅとを接合することができる。   In this embodiment, the jig 200 is made of glass. Since glass has high laser transparency, even if laser light is irradiated from above the jig 200, the laser light passes through the jig 200 and reaches the components below it. Therefore, even if the jig 200 is attached so as to cover the combined portion of the joint portion 12v and the joint portion 12e and the joint portions 12v and 12e are directly pressed, the joint portion 12v and the joint portion 12e are formed by laser welding. And can be joined.

治具２００がライナ組立体１０ｂに取り付けられると(図４：ステップＳ１０６)、ライナ組立体１０ｂ内部の圧力（以下、「内圧」ともいう）を、第１の値Ｐ１に制御しながら、レーザ溶着を行なう(ステップＳ１０８)。図４のステップＳ１０８の欄に図示するように、本実施例において、レーザ溶着にて接合部１２ｖと接合部１２ｅとを、接合する場合には、ライナ組立体１０ｂを回転させつつ、レーザ発振装置３００によって、レーザ光を照射する。   When the jig 200 is attached to the liner assembly 10b (FIG. 4: step S106), laser welding is performed while controlling the pressure inside the liner assembly 10b (hereinafter also referred to as “internal pressure”) to the first value P1. (Step S108). As shown in the column of step S108 in FIG. 4, in this embodiment, when joining the joining portion 12v and the joining portion 12e by laser welding, the laser oscillation device is rotated while rotating the liner assembly 10b. By 300, laser light is irradiated.

また、図５に示すように、バルブ側口金３０には、配管４０２が接続され、配管４０２には、エアポンプ４０４と、圧力計４０６とが設けられている。このように、配管４０２およびエアポンプ４０４を設けることにより、ライナ組立体１０ｂが密閉される。エアポンプ４０４によって、ライナ組立体１０ｂ内に、空気を送り込むことによって、ライナ組立体１０ｂ内の圧力を、ライナ組立体１０ｂの外部の圧力（大気圧）よりも高い、第１の値Ｐ１に制御することができる。なお、圧力計４０６によって、ライナ組立体１０ｂの内圧を確認することができる。ライナ組立体１０ｂの内圧は、人が、圧力計４０６を視認しながら、エアポンプ４０４を操作することによって、制御する構成にしてもよいし、圧力計４０６による検出値に基づいて、コンピュータを用いて自動的に制御する構成にしてもよい。   As shown in FIG. 5, a pipe 402 is connected to the valve side cap 30, and an air pump 404 and a pressure gauge 406 are provided in the pipe 402. Thus, by providing the piping 402 and the air pump 404, the liner assembly 10b is sealed. By feeding air into the liner assembly 10b by the air pump 404, the pressure in the liner assembly 10b is controlled to a first value P1 that is higher than the pressure outside the liner assembly 10b (atmospheric pressure). be able to. The internal pressure of the liner assembly 10b can be confirmed by the pressure gauge 406. The internal pressure of the liner assembly 10b may be controlled by a person operating the air pump 404 while visually checking the pressure gauge 406, or using a computer based on the detection value of the pressure gauge 406. It may be configured to automatically control.

また、ライナ組立体１０ｂを回転させるための装置としては、フィラメントワインディング装置を利用することができる。なお、ライナ組立体１０ｂを、フィラメントワインディング装置に設置するときに、回転軸１０ｃ方向に、バルブ側ライナ部品１０ｖとエンド側ライナ部品１０ｅとが互いに押し合うような向きに力が加わるように、設置する。このようにすると、接合部１２ｖと接合部１２ｅには、回転軸１０ｃ方向に力が加わると共に、ライナ組立体１０ｂの内部圧力と、治具２００による外部圧力が加わるため、接合部１２ｖと接合部１２ｅとの嵌合状態が強固に保たれる。   Further, a filament winding apparatus can be used as an apparatus for rotating the liner assembly 10b. When the liner assembly 10b is installed in the filament winding apparatus, the liner assembly 10b is installed so that a force is applied in the direction in which the valve side liner part 10v and the end side liner part 10e are pressed against each other in the direction of the rotating shaft 10c. To do. In this way, a force is applied to the joint 12v and the joint 12e in the direction of the rotary shaft 10c, and an internal pressure of the liner assembly 10b and an external pressure by the jig 200 are applied. The fitting state with 12e is firmly maintained.

本実施例では、接合部１２ｖと接合部１２ｅとをレーザ溶着により接合するために、ライナ組立体１０ｂを３回転させる。ライナ組立体１０ｂを１回転させる度に、レーザ光の照射位置を変更する。ライナ組立体１０ｂの１回転目のレーザ溶着を「レーザ溶着１」、そのレーザ光照射位置を「照射位置１」、ライナ組立体１０ｂの２回転目のレーザ溶着を「レーザ溶着２」、そのレーザ光照射位置を「照射位置２」、ライナ組立体１０ｂの３回転目のレーザ溶着を「レーザ溶着３」、そのレーザ光照射位置を「照射位置３」という。   In this embodiment, the liner assembly 10b is rotated three times in order to join the joint 12v and the joint 12e by laser welding. Each time the liner assembly 10b is rotated once, the irradiation position of the laser light is changed. Laser welding of the first rotation of the liner assembly 10b is “laser welding 1”, its irradiation position is “irradiation position 1”, laser welding of the second rotation of the liner assembly 10b is “laser welding 2”, its laser The light irradiation position is referred to as “irradiation position 2”, the third laser welding of the liner assembly 10b is referred to as “laser welding 3”, and the laser light irradiation position is referred to as “irradiation position 3”.

図７は、レーザ光照射位置を概略的に示す説明図である。図７（Ａ）は照射位置１、（Ｂ）は照射位置２、（Ｃ）は照射位置３を示す。図７（Ａ）〜（Ｃ）は、それぞれ、図５に示すように、ライナ組立体１０ｂの回転軸１０ｃが水平になるようにライナ組立体１０ｂを配置した場合の、ライナ組立体１０ｂの回転軸１０ｃを通り、回転軸１０ｃに平行な切断面で切断した断面図と、レーザ発振装置３００側から見た図を示している。   FIG. 7 is an explanatory diagram schematically showing a laser beam irradiation position. 7A shows the irradiation position 1, FIG. 7B shows the irradiation position 2, and FIG. 7C shows the irradiation position 3. FIG. FIGS. 7A to 7C show the rotation of the liner assembly 10b when the liner assembly 10b is arranged so that the rotation shaft 10c of the liner assembly 10b is horizontal, as shown in FIG. A sectional view taken along a cutting plane passing through the shaft 10c and parallel to the rotating shaft 10c and a view seen from the laser oscillation device 300 side are shown.

図７（Ａ）に示すように、治具２００は、接合部１２ｖと接合部１２ｅとが接触する部分を、覆って、直接、外側から押圧するように取り付けられている。接合部１２ｖと接合部１２ｅとが接触する接触面は、ライナ組立体１０ｂ内に充填された空気によってライナ組立体１０ｂの内部から加えられる圧力と、治具２００によって外部から加えられる圧力とによって、密着されている。すなわち、接合部１２ｖと接合部１２ｅと間の隙間は、小さい。   As shown in FIG. 7A, the jig 200 is attached so as to cover the portion where the joint portion 12v and the joint portion 12e are in contact and directly press from the outside. The contact surface where the joint 12v and the joint 12e come into contact is determined by the pressure applied from the inside of the liner assembly 10b by the air filled in the liner assembly 10b and the pressure applied from the outside by the jig 200. It is in close contact. That is, the gap between the joint 12v and the joint 12e is small.

なお、後述するように、バルブ側ライナ部品１０ｖとエンド側ライナ部品１０ｅとがレーザ溶着により接合された後、図７（Ａ）に破線で示すように、ライナ組立体１０ｂの外側に突出した部分（以下、「リブ」ともいう。）は、切削される。そのため、接合部１２ｖと接合部１２ｅとの接触面のうち、破線よりもライナ組立体１０ｂの内部よりの部分が溶着されればよい。以下、接合部１２ｖと接合部１２ｅとの接触面のうち、破線よりもライナ組立体１０ｂの内部よりの部分であって、レーザ溶着により溶着される面を、「溶着面１２ｗ」という。本実施例において、治具２００は、溶着面の大部分を加圧するのに必要な幅に形成されている。しかしながら、治具２００は、溶着面の少なくとも一部を加圧可能な幅に形成されていればよく、溶着面全体を加圧可能な幅に形成されていてもよいし、溶着面全体を加圧可能な幅よりも広い幅に形成されていてもよい。なお、本実施例における溶着面１２ｗが、請求項における接触面に相当する。   As will be described later, after the valve-side liner part 10v and the end-side liner part 10e are joined by laser welding, as shown by a broken line in FIG. 7A, a portion protruding to the outside of the liner assembly 10b. (Hereinafter, also referred to as “rib”) is cut. Therefore, the part from the inside of the liner assembly 10b should just be welded rather than a broken line among the contact surfaces of the junction part 12v and the junction part 12e. Hereinafter, of the contact surfaces between the joint portion 12v and the joint portion 12e, the surface that is closer to the inside of the liner assembly 10b than the broken line and is welded by laser welding is referred to as a “welding surface 12w”. In this embodiment, the jig 200 is formed to have a width necessary for pressurizing most of the welding surface. However, the jig 200 only needs to be formed to have a width capable of pressurizing at least a part of the welding surface, may be formed to a width capable of pressurizing the entire welding surface, or may add the entire welding surface. You may form in the width | variety wider than the width | variety which can be pressed. In addition, the welding surface 12w in a present Example is equivalent to the contact surface in a claim.

レーザ溶着１において、レーザ光は、溶着面の、回転軸１０ｃ（図５）方向の長さの真ん中辺りに照射される(図７（Ａ）)。レーザ溶着２において、レーザ光は、接合部１２ｅの先端近傍に照射される（図７（Ｂ））。レーザ溶着３において、レーザ光は、接合部１２ｖの先端近傍に照射される(図７(Ｃ))。このように、レーザ光の照射位置をずらすことによって、溶着面の全体が溶着される。   In the laser welding 1, the laser beam is irradiated around the middle of the length of the welding surface in the direction of the rotation axis 10c (FIG. 5) (FIG. 7A). In laser welding 2, the laser beam is applied to the vicinity of the tip of the joint 12e (FIG. 7B). In the laser welding 3, the laser beam is applied to the vicinity of the tip of the joint 12v (FIG. 7C). Thus, the entire welding surface is welded by shifting the irradiation position of the laser beam.

図５に示すように、ステップＳ１０８において、レーザ溶着１が終了すると（すなわち、ライナ組立体１０ｂが１回転すると）、ライナ組立体１０ｂの内圧を、第２の値Ｐ２に制御しながら、レーザ光の照射位置を照射位置２に変更して、レーザ溶着２を行なう(図５：ステップＳ１１０)。第２の値Ｐ２は、第１の値Ｐ１よりも低く、ライナ組立体１０ｂの外圧（大気圧）よりも高い値である。例えば、第１の値Ｐ１＝１．０ＭＰａ、第２の値Ｐ２＝０．５ＭＰａとするのが好ましい。ライナ組立体１０ｂの内圧を、低下させることによって、バリの発生を抑制することができる。   As shown in FIG. 5, in step S108, when laser welding 1 is completed (that is, when the liner assembly 10b rotates once), the laser light is controlled while controlling the internal pressure of the liner assembly 10b to the second value P2. The laser irradiation 2 is performed with the irradiation position changed to irradiation position 2 (FIG. 5: step S110). The second value P2 is lower than the first value P1 and higher than the external pressure (atmospheric pressure) of the liner assembly 10b. For example, it is preferable that the first value P1 = 1.0 MPa and the second value P2 = 0.5 MPa. Generation of burrs can be suppressed by reducing the internal pressure of the liner assembly 10b.

ライナ組立体１０ｂが１回転してレーザ溶着２が終了すると、ライナ組立体１０ｂの内圧を、第２の値Ｐ２に維持したまま、レーザ溶着３を行なう(ステップＳ１１０)。レーザ溶着３が終了すると、リブを切削する(ステップＳ１１２)。上記したように、図７（Ａ）に切削面が破線で図示されている。リブを切削することにより、図１に示すように、表面に、ほぼ凸凹のない、樹脂ライナ１０が完成する。   When the liner assembly 10b makes one rotation and the laser welding 2 is completed, the laser welding 3 is performed while the internal pressure of the liner assembly 10b is maintained at the second value P2 (step S110). When the laser welding 3 is completed, the rib is cut (step S112). As described above, the cutting surface is shown by a broken line in FIG. By cutting the rib, as shown in FIG. 1, the resin liner 10 having almost no irregularities on the surface is completed.

本実施例の樹脂ライナの製造方法では、バルブ側ライナ部品１０ｖとエンド側ライナ部品１０ｅとをレーザ溶着する際に、ライナ組立体１０ｂ内に空気を充填することによって、ライナ組立体１０ｂの内部に圧力をかけている。それと共に、治具２００によって、バルブ側ライナ部品１０ｖとエンド側ライナ部品１０ｅとの接触部（すなわち、接合部１２ｖ、１２ｅが接触する部分）に、外部から圧力をかけている。そのため、接合部１２ｖと接合部１２ｅとの接触面の隙間が小さくなる。したがって、レーザ溶着により接合部１２ｖと接合部１２ｅとを接合すると、接着強度が向上される。   In the resin liner manufacturing method of this embodiment, when the valve side liner part 10v and the end side liner part 10e are laser-welded, the liner assembly 10b is filled with air to fill the liner assembly 10b. Pressure is applied. At the same time, the jig 200 applies pressure from the outside to the contact portion between the valve-side liner component 10v and the end-side liner component 10e (that is, the portion where the joint portions 12v and 12e are in contact). For this reason, the gap between the contact surfaces of the joint 12v and the joint 12e is reduced. Therefore, bonding strength is improved when the bonding portion 12v and the bonding portion 12e are bonded by laser welding.

また、従来は、レーザ透過性の低い、またはレーザ透過性の無い金属製の治具を用いて、接合部１２ｖ、１２ｅに、外部から圧力をかけていた。金属製の治具を用いる場合、接合部１２ｖと接合部１２ｅとを組み付けた部分を覆うように治具を取り付けて、外側から押圧すると、レーザが治具を透過しないため、レーザ溶着をすることができない場合がある。そのため、接合部１２ｖ、接合部１２ｅから離れた部分に治具を取り付けて外部から押圧することによって、間接的に、接合部１２ｖと接合部１２ｅとの接触面に外部から圧力を加えていた。   Further, conventionally, pressure is applied to the joint portions 12v and 12e from the outside using a metal jig having low laser transmittance or no laser transmittance. When using a metal jig, attach the jig so as to cover the part where the joint part 12v and the joint part 12e are assembled, and press from the outside. May not be possible. For this reason, a pressure is applied from the outside to the contact surface between the joint 12v and the joint 12e indirectly by attaching a jig to the part away from the joint 12v and the joint 12e and pressing it from the outside.

治具が、接合部１２ｖ、１２ｅから離れて取り付けられていると、接合部１２ｖと接合部１２ｅとの接触面の隙間が大きくなり、レーザ溶着した場合に、充分な接着強度が得られない。これに対して、本実施例では、レーザ透過性の高いガラス製の治具２００を用いているため、接合部１２ｖと接合部１２ｅとを組み付けた部分を、覆うように治具２００を取り付けても、レーザ溶着をすることが可能になった。そのため、接着強度を向上させることができる。   If the jig is mounted apart from the joints 12v and 12e, the gap between the contact surfaces of the joint 12v and the joint 12e becomes large, and sufficient adhesion strength cannot be obtained when laser welding is performed. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, since the glass jig 200 having a high laser transmittance is used, the jig 200 is attached so as to cover the portion where the joint portion 12v and the joint portion 12e are assembled. It has become possible to carry out laser welding. Therefore, the adhesive strength can be improved.

上記したように、本実施例では、ライナ組立体１０ｂに内圧をかけつつ、外部から治具２００で、押圧することにより、接合部１２ｖと接合部１２ｅとの接触面（特に、溶着面１２ｗ）の密着性を向上させている。ライナ組立体１０ｂの内部からも外部からも圧力をかけているため、レーザによって、レーザ吸収性部品であるエンド側ライナ部品１０ｅが溶融すると、ライナ組立体１０ｂ内の圧力と、治具２００による圧力とによって、溶融した樹脂が押し出され、バリが発生するおそれがある。   As described above, in this embodiment, the inner surface of the liner assembly 10b is pressed with the jig 200 from the outside while being pressed, so that the contact surface (particularly the welding surface 12w) between the joint 12v and the joint 12e. Improved adhesion. Since pressure is applied from the inside and the outside of the liner assembly 10b, when the end-side liner component 10e, which is a laser-absorbing component, is melted by the laser, the pressure in the liner assembly 10b and the pressure by the jig 200 As a result, the molten resin may be pushed out and burrs may be generated.

例えば、ライナ組立体１０ｂの内側にバリを有する樹脂ライナ１０を用いて、高圧水素タンク１００が生成され、使用された場合に、バリがちぎれて、高圧水素タンク１００内に存在すると、異音が発生したり、水素経路内にちぎれたバリが詰まることがある。また、高圧水素タンク１００は、高圧水素タンク１００内の水素量を測定するために、温度センサ（図示しない）を備えているが、ちぎれたバリによって温度センサが損傷するおそれもある。これに対して、本実施例の樹脂ライナの製造方法では、ライナ組立体１０ｂの内圧を、第１の値Ｐ１に制御しつつレーザ溶着１を行なった後、ライナ組立体１０ｂの内圧を、第２の値Ｐ２に下げて、レーザ溶着２、３を行なう。そのため、接合部１２ｖと接合部１２ｅとの密着性を維持しつつ、バリの発生を抑制することができる。   For example, when the high-pressure hydrogen tank 100 is generated and used by using the resin liner 10 having burrs inside the liner assembly 10b, if the burrs are broken and exist in the high-pressure hydrogen tank 100, abnormal noise is generated. Occurrence or clogging of broken burrs in the hydrogen path may occur. The high-pressure hydrogen tank 100 includes a temperature sensor (not shown) for measuring the amount of hydrogen in the high-pressure hydrogen tank 100. However, the temperature sensor may be damaged by a broken burr. On the other hand, in the method of manufacturing the resin liner of this embodiment, after performing laser welding 1 while controlling the internal pressure of the liner assembly 10b to the first value P1, the internal pressure of the liner assembly 10b is changed to the first pressure. Laser welding 2 and 3 are performed with the value 2 being lowered to P2. Therefore, generation | occurrence | production of a burr | flash can be suppressed, maintaining the adhesiveness of the junction part 12v and the junction part 12e.

また、本実施例では、接合部１２ｖと接合部１２ｅとの接着強度を向上するために、ライナ組立体１０ｂの内部から圧力をかけつつ、治具２００によって、接合部１２ｖと接合部１２ｅとが接触する部分を、直接押圧して、外部から圧力をかけている。したがって、上記した特許文献１に記載されているようなチャンバーを用いなくても、接着強度を向上することができる。したがって、設備を簡素化して、安価に樹脂ライナ１０を製造することができる。   Further, in this embodiment, in order to improve the adhesive strength between the joint portion 12v and the joint portion 12e, the joint portion 12v and the joint portion 12e are joined by the jig 200 while applying pressure from the inside of the liner assembly 10b. The contacting part is directly pressed to apply pressure from the outside. Therefore, the adhesive strength can be improved without using the chamber described in Patent Document 1 described above. Therefore, the equipment can be simplified and the resin liner 10 can be manufactured at low cost.

Ｂ．変形例：
なお、この発明は上記の実施例や実施形態に限られるものではなく、その要旨を逸脱しない範囲において種々の態様において実施することが可能であり、例えば次のような変形も可能である。 B. Variations:
The present invention is not limited to the above-described examples and embodiments, and can be implemented in various modes without departing from the gist thereof. For example, the following modifications are possible.

（１）バルブ側ライナ部品１０ｖの接合部１２ｖの形状と、エンド側ライナ部品１０ｅの接合部１２ｅの形状は、上記した実施例に限定されず、バルブ側ライナ部品１０ｖとエンド側ライナ部品１０ｅとをレーザ溶着にて接合可能な形状であればよい。図８は、接合部１２ｖ、接合部１２ｅの形状の各種の変形例を示す断面図である。接合部１２ｖと接合部１２ｅとは、互いに密着して組み合わせられるような種々の形状に形成可能である。そして、接合部１２ｖ、１２ｅを外側から押圧するように治具２００を取り付けて、図に破線で示すように、治具２００とバルブ側ライナ部品１０ｖを透過して、エンド側ライナ部品１０ｅに到達するように、レーザ光を照射すれば、上記した実施例と同様の効果を得ることができる。   (1) The shape of the joint portion 12v of the valve side liner part 10v and the shape of the joint portion 12e of the end side liner part 10e are not limited to the above-described embodiments, and the valve side liner part 10v and the end side liner part 10e Any shape that can be joined by laser welding. FIG. 8 is a cross-sectional view showing various modifications of the shapes of the joint 12v and the joint 12e. The joint portion 12v and the joint portion 12e can be formed in various shapes that can be combined in close contact with each other. Then, the jig 200 is attached so as to press the joints 12v and 12e from the outside, and passes through the jig 200 and the valve-side liner part 10v and reaches the end-side liner part 10e as shown by broken lines in the figure. As described above, if the laser beam is irradiated, the same effect as the above-described embodiment can be obtained.

（２）上記した実施例において、流体貯留容器の一例として、高圧水素タンクを例示したが、高圧水素タンクに限定されない。本発明の製造方法は、例えば、窒素、アルゴン、プロパンガス等を貯留する容器や、液体の燃料等を貯留する容器にも用いることができる。   (2) In the above-described embodiment, the high pressure hydrogen tank is illustrated as an example of the fluid storage container, but is not limited to the high pressure hydrogen tank. The production method of the present invention can be used, for example, for a container for storing nitrogen, argon, propane gas or the like, or a container for storing liquid fuel or the like.

（３）上記した実施例において、樹脂ライナ１０は、バルブ側ライナ部品１０ｖとエンド側ライナ部品１０ｅとをレーザ溶着により接合することによって形成されているが、２以上の部品をレーザ溶着により接合することによって形成されるものであってもよい。また、上記した実施例において、樹脂ライナ１０を、中心軸に垂直な平面で、２分割したような形状の２つの部品を接合して、樹脂ライナ１０が形成されるが、例えば、中心軸を通り、中心軸に平行な平面で２分割したような形状の部品を接合してもよい。   (3) In the embodiment described above, the resin liner 10 is formed by joining the valve side liner part 10v and the end side liner part 10e by laser welding, but two or more parts are joined by laser welding. It may be formed by. Further, in the above-described embodiment, the resin liner 10 is formed by joining the two parts of the resin liner 10 having a shape divided into two on a plane perpendicular to the central axis. As such, parts having a shape divided into two by a plane parallel to the central axis may be joined.

（４）上記した実施例において、接合部１２ｖと接合部１２ｅとをレーザ溶着により接合する場合に、ライナ組立体１０ｂを回転させることによって、接触面の全周にレーザを照射しているが、ライナ組立体１０ｂは回転させず、レーザ発振装置３００がライナ組立体１０ｂの周囲を周る構成にしてもよい。   (4) In the above-described embodiment, when the joining portion 12v and the joining portion 12e are joined by laser welding, the laser is irradiated to the entire circumference of the contact surface by rotating the liner assembly 10b. The liner assembly 10b may not be rotated, and the laser oscillation device 300 may be configured to go around the liner assembly 10b.

（５）ライナ組立体１０ｂの内圧を、第１の値Ｐ１から第２の値Ｐ２に低下させるタイミングは、上記した実施例に限定されない。例えば、予め、実験により、バリの発生が抑制されるタイミング（時間）を計り、レーザ溶着の開始から一定の時間が経過した後に、ライナ組立体１０ｂの内圧を第１の値Ｐ１から第２の値Ｐ２に低下させるようにしてもよい。このとき、ライナ組立体１０ｂの回転と、ライナ組立体１０ｂの内圧を、第１の値Ｐ１から第２の値Ｐ２に低下させるタイミングを関連付けてもよいし、関連付けなくてもよい（例えば、１回転する途中で、内圧を低下させてもよい。）。   (5) The timing at which the internal pressure of the liner assembly 10b is decreased from the first value P1 to the second value P2 is not limited to the above-described embodiment. For example, the timing (time) at which the occurrence of burrs is suppressed by an experiment in advance, and after a certain time has elapsed from the start of laser welding, the internal pressure of the liner assembly 10b is changed from the first value P1 to the second value. You may make it reduce to the value P2. At this time, the rotation of the liner assembly 10b and the timing at which the internal pressure of the liner assembly 10b is decreased from the first value P1 to the second value P2 may or may not be associated (for example, 1 During the rotation, the internal pressure may be reduced.)

（６）また、上記した実施例では、ガラス製の治具２００を用いているが、ガラス製に限定されず、例えば、ポリカーホネートや、ナイロン６等のレーザ透過性の高い材料を用いてもよい。さらに、レーザ透過性の高い治具２００に限定されず、レーザ透過性の低い治具や、レーザ透過性のない治具を用いてもよい。例えば、レーザ透過性のない治具を用いる場合には、接合部１２ｖ、１２ｅを覆うように治具を取り付けても、治具を回避して、レーザ光が接触面に照射されるように、接合部１２ｖ、１２ｅの形状や、レーザ光の照射方向を決定すればよい。このようにしても、接合部の接着強度を向上することができる。   (6) Moreover, in the above-mentioned Example, although the jig | tool 200 made from glass is used, it is not limited to the product made from glass, For example, using materials with high laser transmissivity, such as polycarbonate and nylon 6. Also good. Further, the jig 200 is not limited to the jig 200 having high laser transparency, and a jig having low laser permeability or a jig having no laser transparency may be used. For example, when using a jig that does not transmit laser, even if the jig is attached so as to cover the joints 12v and 12e, the jig is avoided and the contact surface is irradiated with laser light. What is necessary is just to determine the shape of the junction parts 12v and 12e, and the irradiation direction of a laser beam. Even if it does in this way, the adhesive strength of a junction part can be improved.

（７）なお、バルブ側ライナ部品１０ｖとエンド側ライナ部品１０ｅの原料は、上記した実施例に限定されない。バルブ側ライナ部品１０ｖとエンド側ライナ部品１０ｅは、ともに、ガスバリア性を有し、一方がレーザ透過性、他方がレーザ吸収性を有することが好ましい。レーザ吸収性樹脂部品を形成する場合には、必ずしも顔料にて着色する必要はなく、レーザ透過性樹脂部品よりもレーザ透過性の低い樹脂によって形成すればよい。すなわち、バルブ側ライナ部品１０ｖとエンド側ライナ部品１０ｅとの一方がレーザ透過性、他方がレーザ吸収性とするためには、レーザ透過性が異なっていればよい。例えば、エンド側ライナ部品１０ｅとして、ナイロン６よりもレーザ透過性の低い樹脂(例えば、ポリエチレン(ＰＥ)やアクリロニトリルブタジエンスチレン（ＡＢＳ）等)を用いてもよい。また、これらの樹脂に、ガラス繊維等の補強繊維を添加したものを用いてもよい。   (7) The raw materials of the valve side liner part 10v and the end side liner part 10e are not limited to the above-described embodiments. Both the valve side liner part 10v and the end side liner part 10e preferably have gas barrier properties, one having laser transparency and the other having laser absorption. When forming a laser-absorbing resin component, it is not always necessary to color with a pigment, and it may be formed with a resin having a laser transmittance lower than that of the laser-transmitting resin component. That is, in order for one of the valve side liner part 10v and the end side liner part 10e to be laser-transmitting and the other to be laser-absorbing, the laser transmitting characteristics only have to be different. For example, as the end-side liner component 10e, a resin (for example, polyethylene (PE), acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), etc.) having lower laser transmittance than nylon 6 may be used. Moreover, you may use what added reinforcing fibers, such as glass fiber, to these resin.

また、バルブ側ライナ部品１０ｖ、エンド側ライナ部品１０ｅ共に、着色したい場合には、着色料の粒径や、着色料の含有量を調整することによって、レーザ透過性の差を設けるようにしてもよい。   Further, when both the valve side liner part 10v and the end side liner part 10e are desired to be colored, a difference in laser transmittance may be provided by adjusting the particle size of the colorant and the content of the colorant. Good.

また、本実施例では、バルブ側ライナ部品１０ｖの全体をレーザ透過性樹脂部品、エンド側ライナ部品１０ｅの全体をレーザ吸収性樹脂部品として構成しているが、接合部１２ｖ、１２ｅのみをレーザ透過性とレーザ吸収性の組合せになるように構成してもよい。例えば、エンド側ライナ部品１０ｅの接合部１２ｅのみをレーザ吸収性を有するように構成し、他の部分およびバルブ側ライナ部品１０ｖをレーザ透過性として構成してもよい。   In this embodiment, the entire valve side liner part 10v is configured as a laser transmissive resin part and the entire end side liner part 10e is configured as a laser absorbing resin part. However, only the joints 12v and 12e are transmitted through the laser. It may be configured to be a combination of the property and the laser absorptivity. For example, only the joint portion 12e of the end side liner component 10e may be configured to have laser absorption, and the other portion and the valve side liner component 10v may be configured to be laser transmissive.

さらに、バルブ側ライナ部品１０ｖとエンド側ライナ部品１０ｅとは、共に、レーザ吸収性樹脂部品であってもよいし、共に、レーザ透過性樹脂部品であってもよい。   Furthermore, both the valve side liner part 10v and the end side liner part 10e may be laser-absorbing resin parts, or both may be laser-transmitting resin parts.
