Of analogues of the prior art "Container" containing sealed metal shell connected with spherical bottoms, covered by an outer shell made of composite material (SU inventor's certificate N 161019, 5 F 17 C 1/00, application N 4622576/31-26 from 13.12.88. Applicant: Institute of electric welding named. E. O. Paton. Authors L. M. Lobanov, R. C. Tomaszewski and others Published in the Bulletin "Inventions" from 30.11.90).

A disadvantage of the known analogue is the most close to the number of essential features of the prototype device of the invention can be adopted Cylinder high pressure", includes external power shell made of composite material and a metal flange with a hole (SU inventor's certificate N 2037735, 6 F 17 C 1/00, application for invention N 92014577/26 from 25.12.92, the authors frost N. G. and others. The applicant is: sole proprietorship firm "Elina-T", published in the Bulletin "Inventions" N 17 1995, page 192).

The disadvantage of a high-pressure bladder, taken as a prototype, is a low-tech tank, and less resources in connection with different strength characteristics of the elements of the container.

Of analogues of the prior art the Method of manufacturing a multilayer pressure vessels", which includes the winding strip material on a Central shell (SU inventor's certificate N 1366269, B 21 D 51/24, the application for invention N 4096880/31-27 from 23.07.86, the authors of the summer Palace of Doganci and C. B. Romaszewska. Applicant: Moscow Institute of chemical engineering, published in the Bulletin "Inventions" N 2 15.01.88).

The disadvantage of the invention is the complexity of the technological process of manufacturing multilayer vessels and smaller reliability and durability compared to the claimed invention, the Method of manufacturing the balloon.

The disadvantage of this method is the complexity of the technological process of manufacture of the container, as well as his lesser strength, reliability and durability, the need to use diverse complex technical processes. The technical result of the invention, i.e., improving manufacturability, reliability and durability of the device design fiberglass tank high pressure is achieved by the fact that in the high-pressure bladder containing the external power shell made of composite material, the internal sealing sheath of gas-tight material, a metal flange with a hole, the said cylinder is provided with a second metal flange, identical in design to the first, but without through holes mounted at the bottom at the other end of the cylinder, p is the frame material, with the bottom layer sealed shell made teams and consists of one or more layers of aluminum foil, covering the cylindrical part of the cylinder and end plates of thin-walled aluminum, forming the bottom of the container, adjacent overlapped on aluminum foil, and all layers of the internal hermetic shell connected with a method and with an external power shell using adhesive.

This technical result improve the manufacturability of the container is achieved by the fact that in the construction of the container when the manufacturer uses polymer composite material (fiberglass), which is made outside the load-bearing layer and the top layer sealed shell, and a simple means of fastening them together by means of adhesive.

The above technical result increased reliability and durability is achieved by the same deformation and strength characteristics of the material of the sheath, so as layers of a composite material (fiberglass) when loading work synchronously, without creating congested zones, as in the case of the use of dissimilar materials (glass and steel).

Crie, that is, the winding machine for the manufacture of both internal and external shells.

In addition, under item 2 effect of improving the processability of the bottle and also to increase the strength and durability of the design is achieved by the fact that the flanges made teams containing United glue the inner and outer parts, and a nut, clamping these parts to each other, and the protrusion of the inner part of the flange smoothly adjoins the inner sealed envelope, and its cylindrical surface passing through the axial hole of the cylindrical outer part of the flange, the outer cylindrical surface of the inner part of the flange nut installed so that the bottom of the inner hermetic shell made squeezed between the inner and outer portions of the flange and connected with them by means of an adhesive (glue), and the inner surface of the external power shell mated with the outer surface of the flange.

The connection of the above-mentioned surfaces using adhesive provides sealing inner lining, interfacing with external power shell and allows to obtain high-efficiency hermetic connection on these surfaces, to improve the reliability of drinking, preparing container, improve its processability in comparison with the prototype - method of manufacturing a container comprising winding a strip workpiece predominantly cylindrical shell to the formation of the multilayer cylinder and forming openings, is achieved by first forming a thin layer of inner hermetic shell by drawing on the Central part of the mandrel - shell of one or more layers of aluminum foil, which overlapped with both sides impose end Cup of thin-walled aluminum, forming the bottom of the tank and connect them together using adhesive, then perform the above operation of winding steklolenta impregnated polymeric binder, with the formation of the adhesive bond between the fiberglass and the inner layer of thin-walled aluminum, forming the inner sealing sheath, after hardening of the binder it is cut perpendicular to the longitudinal axis into two equal halves, the bottoms of which are calibrated cylindrical holes, install them in metal flanges, after which the two halves of the internal hermetic shell stick together among themselves and with metal flanges by means of adhesive, and then using nutrinitonal polymeric binder, before the formation of multi-layer outer shell, i.e., the form of the power envelope of composite material (fiberglass). This method is technologically simple, increases strength and durability of the design of the container due to the fact that the walls of the container, there is tension, optimally distributed over the layers, and subsequent loading of the cylinder working pressure layers are loaded evenly.
