[0003] In the prior art, high-pressure hydrogen storage cylinders need to be provided with connectors to connect with the outside for gas delivery. In order to meet the effective connection with the external valve, the end of the sealing structure needs to be designed with metal connectors to meet the structural integrity under loads such as high sealing preload force and axial tension. Therefore, for the sealing of the gas storage cylinder with a sealing structure, it is usually composed of a sandwich structure formed by a metal connector, a sealing structure and a metal insert ring reinforcement structure inside the sealing structure. The common insert ring injection molding is positioned by the flange on the outside of the insert ring and the inner circle of the mold. Due to the processing accuracy of the insert ring and the mold and the angle of placing the insert ring, the axis of the insert ring and the axis of the inner circle of the mold will be at a certain angle, which will cause the axis of the insert ring and the sealing surface to deviate, and the wall thickness of the effective sealing surface will be uneven.

Then, when the injection molding material is injected into the housing cavity, the injection molding material can wrap the fastener 3, and when the injection molding material is solidified in the housing cavity to form a plastic liner 1, the fastener 3 and the plastic liner 1 will become an integrally molded structure, so that there will be no gap between the fastener 3 and the plastic liner 1, which is beneficial to improving the sealing performance of the plastic liner 1.

[0060] The injection mold structure provided in this embodiment is as follows: Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the fixing structure 5 includes two fixing blocks 51 arranged at an interval. When the fastener 3 is placed in the accommodating cavity, the fastener 3 is suitable to be arranged in the interval so that the two fixing blocks 51 fix the fastener 3.

[0061] The injection mold structure of the above structure includes two fixing blocks 51 by setting a fixing structure 5, and the two fixing blocks 51 are set at an interval, so that when the fastener 3 is placed in the accommodating cavity, the fastener 3 can be clamped in the interval between the two fixing blocks 51, and then the two fixing blocks 51 fix the fastener 3, so that the fastener 3 is fixed on the main body 4, that is, in the accommodating cavity.

[0062] The injection mold structure provided in this embodiment is as follows: Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the two fixing blocks 51 in any fixed structure 5, the wall surfaces abutting against the fastener 3 are concentrically arranged with the outer wall section and the inner wall section of the opening structure 11, so that the fastener 3 is concentrically arranged with the outer wall surface and the inner wall surface of the opening structure 11, and the fastener 3 is abutted against the connecting piece 2 connected to the opening structure 11.

[0063] The injection mold structure of the above structure is arranged so that the wall surface of each fixing block 51 abutting against the fastener 3 is concentrically arranged with the outer wall section and the inner wall section of the opening structure 11, so that when the two fixing blocks 51 fix the fastener 3 in the accommodating cavity and the injection molding material is injected into the accommodating cavity, the outer wall section and the inner wall section of the opening structure 11 formed in the accommodating cavity will be concentrically arranged with the outer wall section and the inner wall section of the fastener 3, and then when the connecting member 2 is connected to the opening structure 11, the outer wall section of the connecting member 2 will be concentrically arranged with the inner wall section of the fastener 3, so that the connecting member 2 and the outer wall surface and the opening structure 11 formed on the inner wall surface of the fastener 3 abut against each other and achieve an interference fit.

[0064] The injection mold structure provided in this embodiment is as follows: Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a plurality of recessed portions are arranged at intervals in the accommodating cavity, and any recessed portion is arranged between two adjacent fixing structures 5, so that when the injection molding material is injected into the accommodating cavity under the action of external force, the injection molding material is formed into a fixing part in the recessed portion to fix the fastener 3.

[0065] The injection mold structure of the above structure is formed by opening a plurality of recessed portions in the accommodating cavity. The recessed portions are recessed grooves in this embodiment. All the recessed portions are arranged at intervals in the accommodating cavity, and each recessed portion is arranged between two adjacent fixing structures 5. Therefore, when the fastener 3 is placed in the accommodating cavity and the injection molding material is injected into the accommodating cavity, the injection molding material will flow into the recessed portion along the fastener 3 and be formed into a fixing part in the recessed portion. During the molding process of the fixing part, since the injection molding material is always connected to the fastener 3, after the fixing part is molded, the fixing part will also be connected to the fastener 3, so that the fixing part can fix the fastener 3 in the accommodating cavity.

[0066] Example 3

[0067] This embodiment provides a molding method, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the process includes placing the fastener 3, injecting the injection molding material and pressing the connecting piece 2. Placing the fastener 3 is to place the fastener 3 in the accommodating cavity under the action of an external force and connect it with the fixing structure 5 arranged in the accommodating cavity so as to place the fastener 3 in the accommodating cavity; injecting the injection molding material is to inject the injection molding material into the accommodating cavity under the action of an external force, so that the injection molding material flows along the surrounding walls of the fastener 3 into the accommodating cavity and converges in a recessed portion arranged in the accommodating cavity to form a fixing piece connected to the fastener 3 in the recessed portion, and fix the fastener 3 in the accommodating cavity; pressing the connecting piece 2 is to press the connecting piece 2 into the air storage cavity of the plastic liner 1 through the opening structure 11 under the action of an external force, so that the connecting piece 2 abuts against the fastener 3, and the sealing piece arranged on the connecting piece 2 seals the gap between the connecting piece 2 and the fastener 3.

[0068] The molding method of the above structure sequentially performs the steps of placing the fastener 3, injecting the injection molding material and pressing the connector 2, so that the fastener 3 can be placed in the accommodating cavity of the main body 4 under the action of an external force, and in this process, the fastener 3 is connected to the fixing structure 5 arranged in the accommodating cavity, so that the fastener 3 is fixed in the accommodating cavity by the fixing structure 5, and then, the injection molding material is injected into the accommodating cavity under the action of an external force, so that the injection molding material flows into the accommodating cavity along the fastener 3 and converges in the recessed portion arranged in the accommodating cavity, so that the injection molding material is solidified in the accommodating cavity to form a plastic liner 1, and at the same time, the injection molding material The material is formed into a fixing part in the recessed portion and connected to the fastener 3, thereby fixing the fastener 3 on the plastic liner 1. Finally, when the external force is applied, the connector 2 is pressed into the air storage cavity through the opening structure 11, and the outer wall surface of the connector 2 and the opening structure 11 formed on the inner wall surface of the fastener 3 abut against each other, so that the sealing part on the connector 2 fills the gap between the connector 2 and the fastener 3 to seal the gap between the connector 2 and the fastener 3, and finally the plastic liner 1 can only be connected to the air storage cavity and the outside world through the connecting part on the connector 2, which is beneficial to improve the sealing performance of the plastic liner 1.
