- a cap;
- a liner;
- and
- a reinforced layer that is provided on the liner,
- wherein the liner includes a gas barrier layer.
2 more elements
A method of manufacturing a high-pressure tank, the method comprising:
- injecting resin into a forming mold that includes a male mold and a first female mold, and forming a first layer of a liner;
- removing the first female mold to replace it with a second female mold and injecting resin with a gas barrier property to form a gas barrier layer on the outer surface of the first layer so as to make a two-layer structure;
- welding the liners to each other after the two-layered liner is release from the mold;
- and
- heating and curing the welded liners after filament winding molding.

A method of manufacturing a high-pressure tank, the method comprising:
- forming a resin film that is made of a resin material with a gas barrier property into a specified shape in advance;
- injecting resin into a forming mold that includes a male mold and a female mold, and forming a first layer of a liner;
- placing the resin film to either an inside of the female mold or an outer surface of the first layer after the male mold and the female mold are separated;
- forming a gas barrier layer on the outer surface of the first layer by film insert molding so as to make a two-layer structure;
- and
- welding the liners to each other after the two-layered liner is released from the mold, and heating and curing the welded liners after filament winding molding.
3 more elements
Manufacturing equipment of a liner for a high-pressure tank, the manufacturing equipment comprising:
- a male mold to form the liner;
- a first female mold that creates a space to form a first layer of the liner between the male mold and the first female mold;
- and
- a second female mold with which the first female mold is replaced after the first layer is formed, and that creates a space to form a gas barrier layer on an outer surface of the first layer.
