[0024] like Figures 1-9 As shown, the present invention discloses a safety protection structure for a tire vulcanizing machine, comprising a base 1 and upper and lower mold 3 assemblies. Two sets of upper and lower mold 3 assemblies are provided, respectively located at both ends of the base 1. Each set of upper and lower mold 3 assemblies includes an upper mold 2 and a lower mold 3 arranged opposite to each other. The upper mold 2 is fixed to a support base 4, and the lower mold 3 is fixed to the base 1. A column 5 is provided on the base 1, and the support base 4 is vertically slidably mounted on the column 5. A slot 6 is provided on the column 5, and a locking / unlocking assembly 52 is provided on the support base 4. The device includes a fixed plate 7 mounted on a support base 4. At both ends of the fixed plate 7 are a first telescopic cylinder 8 and a second telescopic cylinder 9 with opposite telescopic directions. The piston rods of the first telescopic cylinder 8 and the second telescopic cylinder 9 are each connected to a moving block 10. The two moving blocks 10 are provided with clearance openings 11 on their opposite end faces. When the first telescopic cylinder 8 and the second telescopic cylinder 9 retract, they surround the column 5 through the two clearance openings 11. The inner wall of the clearance opening 11 is provided with locking teeth 12 corresponding to the locking groove 6.

[0025] The base 1 is equipped with support legs 13 at the bottom. There are four columns 5, which are arranged in pairs at both ends of the base 1. A connecting beam 14 is provided between the tops of the two columns 5 at the same end. The columns 5 are cylindrical structures. The support seat 4 is provided with guide holes 15. The support seat 4 is slidably assembled on the columns 5 through the guide holes 15. The base 1 is equipped with a drive assembly. The support seat 4 is connected to the drive assembly so that the support seat 4 and the upper mold 2 can move up and down together under the drive of the drive assembly.

[0026] The drive assembly includes a servo drive motor 51, a reducer 17, and a mounting base 18. The mounting base 18 is mounted on the connecting beam 14. After the servo drive motor 51 and the reducer 17 are assembled and connected, they are fixed on the mounting base 18. A main support 19 is provided on the connecting beam 14. A corresponding slave support 20 is provided on the base 1 of the main support 19. The drive shaft 16 is rotatably connected to the main support 19. The output end of the reducer 17 passes through the mounting base 18 and is connected to the drive shaft 16 through a coupling 25. A drive wheel 21 is mounted on the drive shaft 16. A slave wheel 22 is mounted on the slave support 20 through a slave shaft 24. A chain 23 is connected between the drive wheel 21 and the slave wheel 22. Both ends of the chain 23 are connected to the support base 4.

[0027] The piston rods of the first telescopic cylinder 8 and the second telescopic cylinder 9 are respectively connected to the first moving plate 26 and the second moving plate 27. The first moving plate 26 and the second moving plate 27 are respectively fixedly connected to the moving blocks 10 on the corresponding sides. The first telescopic cylinder 8 is fixed on the second moving plate 27, and the second telescopic cylinder 9 is fixed on the first moving plate 26. The first moving plate 26 and the second moving plate 27 are both T-shaped, and both of them have U-shaped openings 28. The piston rods of the first telescopic cylinder 8 and the second telescopic cylinder 9 are each connected to a connecting block 29. The connecting block 29 has a groove 30 that matches and engages with the U-shaped opening 28. The two ends of the fixed plate 7 are equipped with symmetrically arranged fixed blocks 31. The fixed blocks 31 are 7-shaped. The lower part of both ends of the moving block 10 has a protrusion 32 so that the protrusion 32 and the fixed block 31 can be slidably assembled.

[0028] The clearance 11 is arc-shaped, and a limit block 33 is installed on the fixed plate 7 at the end of the stroke of the first telescopic cylinder 8 and / or the second telescopic cylinder 9; a connecting plate 34 is installed on the second telescopic cylinder 9, and two proximity switches 35 are installed on the connecting plate 34 at intervals. A detection element 36 is provided on the second moving plate 27 located below the proximity switches 35. When the two proximity switches 35 detect the detection element 36 at different positions, it can be confirmed whether the state is unlocked or locked.

[0029] The support base 4 is equipped with a fall protection assembly, which includes a fall protection plate 37, a fall protection seat 38, and a fixed support 39. The fall protection seat 38 and the fixed support 39 are both mounted on the support base 4. The upper and lower ends of the fall protection plate 37 are respectively provided with a first protrusion 40 and a second protrusion 41, which extend in two different directions. One end of the tension spring 42 is connected to the fixed support 39 through a first headless pin 43, and the other end of the tension spring 42 is connected to the first protrusion 40 through a second headless pin 44. A connecting rod 45 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the support base 4. The starting end of the chain 23 is fixedly connected to the connecting rod 45, and the ending end of the chain 23 is connected to a third headless pin 46. The upper part of the fall arrestor plate 37 is connected to the lower part of the fall arrestor plate 37 via a rotating pin 47. When the chain 23 breaks, the tension spring 42 drives the fall arrestor plate 37 from a vertical state to an inclined state, so that the second protrusion 41 abuts against the column 5. Several locking grooves 48 are provided at intervals along the length direction on the column 5 so that when the fall arrestor plate 37 is in an inclined state, the second protrusion 41 abuts against the corresponding locking groove 48. An arc-shaped limiting groove 49 is opened on the outer periphery of the end of the rotating pin 47. A shaft end baffle 50 corresponding to the limiting groove 49 is fixedly installed on the fall arrestor plate 38. The shaft end baffle 50 is partially locked in the limiting groove 49 to form a rotation limit on the rotating pin 47.

[0030] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: driven by a servo drive motor, when the lifting process stops, the servo drive motor stops working and brakes, and the support base 4 and the upper mold 2 on it will stop in the middle position, which improves the action response and action accuracy, and improves the working stability and synchronization. When the servo drive motor drives the reducer 17 to move, the drive wheel 21 can be driven to rotate through the coupling 25, so the support base 4 and the upper mold 2 on it will move up and down together along the vertical direction of the column 5, which also avoids the existing hydraulic oil leakage problem.

[0031] When the upper mold 2 is raised or lowered to its limit position or set position, the first telescopic cylinder 8 and the second telescopic cylinder 9, which are set in opposite directions, act accordingly. They can surround the column 5 through the clearance opening 11 on the moving block 10. The inner wall of the clearance opening 11 is provided with locking teeth 12 corresponding to the slots 6. After the locking teeth 12 are locked into the corresponding slots 6, the column 5 is locked by the two moving blocks 10, which can ensure that the support base 4 and the upper mold 2 on it will not fall, thus playing an effective safety protection role and providing a safe environment for personnel under the upper mold 2. The maintenance provides reliable safety assurance; and the two proximity switches 35 can be used to detect whether the two moving blocks 10 are in a closed state (i.e., locked state) or not in a closed state (i.e., unlocked state) relative to the column 5. In the unlocked state, the first telescopic cylinder 8 and the second telescopic cylinder 9 are still activated to open the two moving blocks 10 and the locking teeth 12 are no longer locked in the slot 6, thus realizing the unlocking. The limit block 33 can be used to limit the movement of the moving blocks 10.

[0032] In addition, under normal circumstances, the tension of the tension spring 42 on the fall arrestor plate 37 is greater than the tension force of the tension spring 42, so the fall arrestor plate 37 can be kept in a vertical state, and the second protrusion 41 can also be prevented from accidentally abutting the locking groove 48. When the chain 23 breaks, there is no longer the tension of the chain 23 on the fall arrestor plate 37, so the tension force of the tension spring 42 will cause the fall arrestor plate 37 to rotate into an inclined state, which will extend the second protrusion 41 until it abuts against the locking groove 48. That is, once the chain 23 breaks, under the action of the tension force of the tension spring 42, the fall arrestor plate 37 switches from a vertical state to an inclined state, and the second protrusion 41 can abut against the locking groove 48 on the column 5 to achieve locking, which can prevent the upper mold 2 from falling and provide fall protection.

[0033] It should be noted that, in order to clearly demonstrate the internal structure, Figure 4 , Figure 9 All of these are state structure diagrams after one of the moving blocks is hidden.

[0034] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.

[0035] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
