Conventionally, this plastic water tank is made by injection molding the upper and lower parts of the tank.
These are joined by welding or adhesive to form a water tank, but the upper and lower parts of the tank can be joined using ultrasonic or thermal technology, which is superior in terms of reliability and productivity than joining with adhesive. Conventionally, the welding surfaces of the upper side of the tank and the lower side of the tank have a flat shape as shown in Figure 1, and after welding, the shape of the welded surfaces of the upper side of the tank and the lower side of the tank is as shown in Figure 2. As shown in FIG. 2, the welded portion 11 protrudes from the ends of the tank upper side 7 and the tank lower side 8, resulting in disadvantages such as an unsightly appearance.

The present invention solves the above-mentioned drawbacks by forming tapered parts at the top and bottom ends of a thermoplastic resin tank, abutting the tapered parts, and heat welding the welded part to the tapered part. By adopting a structure in which the welded part is housed in the space formed by the tank, the welded part does not protrude from the sides of the top or bottom of the tank, making it possible to provide an innovative steam iron that can form a tank with a beautiful appearance. I can do it.

In the figure, 1 is a base containing a heater and a steam chamber 2 is formed therein. On the base 1, for example, a heat-resistant phenol resin or
Heat shield plate 3 made of chrome-plated iron plate, etc.
There is a water tank 4 above it. A water inlet 5 is provided at the tip of the water tank 4. An iron grip 6 is provided behind or above the water tank 4.
In this way, the water tank 4 is exposed for easy viewing from the outside. Furthermore, the water tank 4 is formed from a tank upper side 7 and a tank lower side 8. Figure 3
4 is a cross-sectional view of the main part before the tank upper side 7 and the tank lower side 8 are joined together according to the present invention, and FIG. 4 is a main part cross-sectional view after the tank upper side 7 and the tank lower side 8 are joined according to the present invention. It is a diagram. The tank top 7 and tank bottom 8
A tapered part 10 is formed at the tip of each of the tapered parts 10, and after the tapered parts 10 are melted, they are brought into contact and cooled to form a welded part 11, and the welded part 11
is formed smaller than a space 12 formed by the end portions of the upper tank 7 and the lower tank 8 and a tapered portion 10 further provided at the ends, and is provided so as to be accommodated within the space 12.

The tapered portions 10 provided at the ends of the tank upper side 7 and the tank lower side 8 of the water tank 4 are melted using ultrasonic waves or a hot plate.
When the tank upper side 7 and the tank lower side 8 are brought into contact with each other and pressurized further, the tapered portions 10 of the tank upper side 7 and the tank lower side 8 are welded to form a welded portion 11, as shown in FIG. At this time, the melted plastic is removed from the welded part of the tank because, as mentioned above, the welded part 11 of the melted plastic is smaller than the space 12 formed between the tank upper side 7 and the tank lower side 8. 11 does not protrude from the ends of the tank upper side 7 and the tank lower side 8, and the tank 4 can be formed with a beautiful appearance.
