Method and device for handling tyres

Abstract

The invention relates to a handling device (30) for tyres, having at least one arm (36), wherein the at least one arm is secured at a receptacle (35) with a first arm pivot point (36') in such a way that pivoting of the at least one arm (36) relative to the receptacle is supported, and wherein the at least one arm has a second arm pivot point (36") such that at least one gripping tool (30', 32, 34) is coupled to the at least one arm (36) and at least one second gripping tool (30', 32, 34) is coupled to the second arm pivot point (36"), and the at least two gripping tools are pivotable relativeto the at least one arm pivot point (36', 36"). Furthermore, the invention relates to a method for realizing a loading and unloading cycle with tyres of a tyre vulcanizing machine.

Description

technical field

[0001] The present invention relates to a handling device for a tire having at least one extension arm, wherein the at least one extension arm is fixed to a receiving member by a first extension arm pivot position such that the at least one extension arm is relative to the receiving member The pivoting of the receiving member is supported and the at least one extension arm has a second extension arm pivot position such that at least one gripping tool is coupled to the at least one extension arm.

[0002] The invention also relates to a method of loading and unloading the tires of a tire curing press. Background technique

[0003] The production of tires for vehicles, such as automobiles or motorcycles, for example, is an extremely complex process that includes numerous production and process steps. The reason for this is that the complex tire structure consists of a considerable number of different individual components. In addition, these multiple componen...

Examples

Embodiment Construction

[0042] figure 1 is a schematic plan view of the manipulation device 30 as a highly simplified schematic diagram. At least one extension arm 36 is coupled to or supported at the receiving member 35 through a first extension arm pivot location 36'. The receiving member 35 can be configured as a base 35' and can have preferably linear degrees of freedom so that different operating planes can be accessed. For example, a sliding member 35" may provide this linear degree of freedom - the sliding member 35" and base 35' are not shown.

[0043] A first extension arm pivot location 36 ′ provided on the end side of the extension arm 36 preferably supports a pivoting movement about a vertical axis and thus enables the extension arm 36 to pivot in a horizontal plane. The pivot movement kinematics centered relative to the first extension arm pivot position 36' preferably follows a circular shape and thus a pivot path of up to 360 degrees is possible. However, due to the spatial relation...
