Method for managing tire inspection equipment and related tire inspection equipment

Abstract

A method for managing a tire inspection device, said device (1) comprising: an optical structure (430) for tire inspection, said optical structure (430) comprising at least a first optical tool (43a); adapted to move A first member (40a) of said first optical tool (43a). The tire inspection comprises at least a first inspection sequence performed on a first tire for a first duration, followed by a second inspection sequence performed on a second tire for a second duration. The method comprises: performing a first inspection (C1) on the first tire by the optical structure (430); performing a second inspection on the first tire or the second tire by the optical structure (430). inspection (C2); wherein said first inspection (C1) and said second inspection (C2) are separated by a time interval (T1) which is shorter than or equal to said first duration and said second duration The sum of durations; wherein said first optical tool (43a) is not used for tire inspection during said time interval (T1); wherein said method includes validating said first optical tool during said time interval (T1) (43a). A tire inspection apparatus (1) adapted to operate according to the method is also described.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for managing tire inspection equipment. [0002] The invention also relates to a tire inspection device adapted to operate according to said method. Background technique [0003] Tires for vehicle wheels generally comprise a carcass structure comprising at least one carcass ply with correspondingly opposite end flaps with A corresponding annular anchoring structure, commonly referred to as the "bead core" and identified in an area commonly referred to as the "bead", the inner diameter of which substantially corresponds to the so-called "fitting diameter" of the tyre, engages a corresponding annular anchoring structure. ” for fitting the tire on the corresponding mounting rim. The tire also comprises a crown structure comprising a belt structure having at least one belt arranged in a radially outer position relative to the carcass ply(s) a belt; and a radially outer tread band relative to the belt(s). Between the tr...

[0018] Then, the applicant has noticed that, although from a general point of view tire inspection operations may be carried out substantially continuously, between an inspection and a subsequent inspection (usually, at the end of a tire inspection, at the beginning of an inspection before the next tire) there is still a time interval during which the optical tool is not used
