Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
The present invention is a method of manufacturing a gas tank, this method including: a step of forming a fiber reinforced plastics layer by winding a fiber that is impregnated with thermosetting plastics around at least part of a mouthpiece and around a liner; and a step of thermally curing the fiber reinforced plastics layer through induction heating, wherein the mouthpiece is heated by a heating unit that is distinct from the induction heating while the fiber reinforced plastics layer is thermally cured.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
I claim: 1. A method of manufacturing a gas tank, the method comprising: a step of forming a fiber reinforced plastics layer by winding a fiber that is impregnated with thermosetting plastics around at least part of a mouthpiece and around a liner; and a step of thermally curing the fiber reinforced plastics layer through induction heating, wherein the mouthpiece is heated by a heating generator that is attached to the mouthpiece while the fiber reinforced plastics layer is thermally cured. 2. The method of manufacturing the gas tank according to claim 1 , wherein a layer that is formed of a material having a dielectric constant that is larger than that of the mouthpiece is provided between the mouthpiece and the fiber reinforced plastics layer. 3. The method of manufacturing the gas tank according to claim 1 , wherein a heat insulating layer is provided between the mouthpiece and the fiber reinforced plastics layer. 4. The method of manufacturing the gas tank according to any one of claim 1 , wherein the mouthpiece is made of aluminum, and the liner is made of resin.
