Abstract: A high-pressure tank liner manufacturing device includes: a heater to heat and melt end surfaces of liner halves; a heater transportation mechanism configured to slidably move the heater between a waiting position for the heater and a heating position for the heater; an elevation mechanism (drive mechanism) configured to drive a pair of the liner halves so as to cause the pair of liner halves to be relatively moved closer to each other or away from each other; and a parallelism adjustment mechanism configured to adjust parallelism of the end surfaces of the liner halves in accordance with the heater being slidably moved.

Abstract: A member for manufacturing a high-pressure tank liner is provided for producing a high-pressure tank liner with better welding quality between its liner halves than conventional products. The high-pressure tank liner is produced by welding together a pair of liner halves that have cylindrical bodies to be connected with each other on each joint portion having an opening at its one end. The member includes: the liner half; and a cap member that is easily attached to and removed from a communication tube of the liner half, which communication tube is formed on another end opposite to the joint portion between the liner halves and causes an inside and an outside of the high-pressure tank liner to communicate with each other.

Abstract: In the vicinity of an opening end of a first liner constituent member and a second liner constituent member made of a resin material, a flange portion is formed. After end surfaces of the opening end are abutted and joined to each other, the flange portion is removed in such a way that a part of a bottom portion remains. The remaining amount of protrusion is set such that the joint strength of a joint portion is not less than the tensile strength of the resin material or not less than the cohesion failure strength of the joint portion.
