摘要:
The invention relates to an end cap, in particular for a pressure vessel for storing pressurized fluids, said end cap being made as a hybrid structure from a thermoplastic prepreg that is overmolded with a reinforcement structure. In the disclosed method, the end cap is manufactured by - heating a sheet of thermoplastic prepreg in a first step, - shaping the heated thermoplastic prepreg, which has been placed in a combined shaping-injection mold, during the closing movement of the combined shaping-injection mold in a second step, and - overmolding the thermoplastic prepreg with a plastic mass in a third step such that a ribbed reinforcement structure is formed that increases the mechanical resistance of the end cap to loads occurring during operation. The invention further relates to a pressure vessel comprising at least one end cap according to the invention; in said pressure vessel, an end cap is connected to a second end cap, or an end cap is connected to at least one other vessel element, by wrapping at least one tape around at least some portions of the same.

The invention relates to a pressure vessel for storing fluids under pressure, using at least one first pole cap, said pole cap having a substantially axially extending region and being connected to at least one further vessel element by means of at least one reinforcing winding of at least one tape. Said tape overlaps the axially extending region of the pole cap and a region of the further vessel element at least to some extent. According to the invention, the pressure vessel is manufactured while using at least one first pole cap and one further vessel element, the first pole cap and the further element being positioned relative to each other to align with each other and relative to a longitudinal axis and then being provided, at least in some regions, with a reinforcing winding that overlaps the first pole cap and the further vessel element at least in some regions thereof.
