Abstract
A manufacturing device configured to manufacture a pressure tank by winding a fiber bundle around a surface of a liner that is a hollow body includes an impregnation mechanism configured to impregnate the fiber bundle with resin before the fiber bundle is wound around the liner. The impregnation mechanism includes: a first surface along which the resin is supplied to the fiber bundle before the fiber bundle is wound around the liner; and a second surface that faces the first surface and sandwiches the fiber bundle between the first surface and the second surface before the fiber bundle is wound around the liner.
Claims5
A manufacturing device configured to manufacture a pressure tank by winding a fiber bundle around a surface of a liner that is a hollow body,
- the manufacturing device comprising an impregnation mechanism configured to impregnate the fiber bundle with resin before the fiber bundle is wound around the liner, wherein
- the impregnation mechanism includes:
- a first surface along which the resin is supplied to the fiber bundle before the fiber bundle is wound around the liner;
- and
- a second surface that faces the first surface and sandwiches the fiber bundle between the first surface and the second surface before the fiber bundle is wound around the liner.
A manufacturing method for manufacturing a pressure tank by winding a fiber bundle around a surface of a liner that is a hollow body, the manufacturing method comprising:
- impregnating the fiber bundle with resin;
- and
- winding the fiber bundle impregnated with the resin around the surface of the liner, wherein
- the impregnating includes causing the fiber bundle to pass between a first surface along which the resin is supplied to the fiber bundle and a second surface that faces the first surface to sandwich the fiber bundle between the first surface and the second surface.
