Description

TECHNICAL AREA

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of tire manufacturing, in particular a forming device and a tire forming process. STATE OF THE ART

[0002] The process for shaping and processing technical tires mainly uses two types of equipment, one of which is a technical two-drum tire shaping machine and the other is a technical four-drum tire shaping machine.

[0003] As in Fig. As shown in Figure 1, the two-drum engineered tire forming machine is an all-steel engineered meridian tire forming machine. This type of machine consists of two units: a carcass / forming unit and a belt ply unit. The carcass / forming unit is used to laminate the carcass composites, and simultaneously, this unit must also receive the belt ply composites produced by the belt ply unit and complete the forming operation. This unit comprises the host feeding system (including a feeder and guide mechanism that supply rubber compound to the carcass laminating tool), a carcass / forming force system, a carcass / forming tool, a rolling mechanism, a base conveying system, a bead core placement device, and a tailstock (support mechanism for the carcass / forming tool).The belt ply unit is used to laminate the belt ply composites. This unit consists of a belt ply laminating tool, a belt ply laminating tool power system, a belt ply rolling mechanism, a base conveyor system, and an auxiliary machine feeding system (including a feeder and guide mechanism that supply rubber compound to the belt ply laminating tool). A belt ply composite transfer mechanism moves the belt ply composites from the belt ply unit to the casing / mold unit, and the finished tire blank is transferred from the casing / mold unit to the tire unloading mechanism. The entire machine also incorporates a winding system to wind the tread for the casing / mold unit's "tire skin."

[0004] The two-drum tire forming machine has the following advantages: 1. This machine has a small footprint and is easy to use; 2. The number of operators is four fewer than with the "four-drum tire forming machine". 3. The system operation is simple and easy for operators to learn and master. 4. The tool is quick to change (only the carcass laminating tool and the belt ply laminating tool need to be changed); 5. The selling price has advantages compared to the four-drum tire forming machine.

[0005] The disadvantages of the two-drum engineered forming machine are as follows: 1. Since all operations such as laminating the rubber compound and shaping on the carcass / molding tools are completed, production efficiency is relatively low; production quantity per shift: 8-10 using the example of 23.5R25 (tread winding); 2. Since the surface of the carcass / forming tool is designed as a capsularly elastic tool, this has a detrimental effect on the accuracy of the lamination and the rolling quality. 3. Because the carcass laminating tool is designed as a triple-sleeve telescopic structure, the diameters of the two sides of the sleeve are unequal (the centerline is used as the boundary line, and the two sides are asymmetrical structures), which affects the quality of the lamination. The phenomenon of rubber compound "deviation" occurs easily; 4. The arrangement position and the space occupied by the winding system result in some of the space of the entire machine being wasted and the effective utilization of the plant area being reduced.

[0006] As in Fig. As shown in Figure 2, the four-drum engineered tire forming machine is an all-steel engineered meridian tire forming machine. This type of machine consists of three units: a carcass lamination unit, a forming unit (in the form of a rotary table), and a belt ply unit. The carcass lamination unit is used to laminate the carcass composite pieces; this unit consists of the host feeding system (including a feeder and guide mechanism that supply rubber compound to the carcass lamination tool), a carcass lamination tool power system, a carcass lamination tool, a carcass composite rolling mechanism, a base conveying system, a bead core placement device, and a tailstock (support mechanism for the carcass lamination tool). The belt ply unit is used to laminate the belt ply composite pieces.This unit consists of a belt layer lamination tool, a belt layer lamination tool power system, a belt layer rolling mechanism, a base conveying system and an auxiliary machine feeding system (including a feeding device and a guiding mechanism that feeds rubber compound to the belt layer lamination tool).

[0007] The forming unit is used for tire forming processes and winding the tread of the tire casing. This unit consists of a forming tool, a forming tool power system, a rotary table mechanism, a forming tool rolling mechanism, and a tailstock (forming tool support mechanism). A carcass composite transfer mechanism moves the carcass composites from the carcass lamination unit to the forming unit, a belt composite transfer mechanism moves the belt composites from the belt unit to the forming unit, and the finished tire blank is transferred from the forming unit to the tire unloading mechanism. The entire machine also features a winding system to wind the tread for the tire casing onto the forming unit.

[0008] The four-drum engineered forming machine has the following advantages: 1. Since all process steps are carried out on each tool to complete the lamination, production efficiency is significantly improved compared to the “two-drum engineered forming machine”, production quantity per shift: 16-18 using the example of 23.5R25 (tread winding); 2. Since the tool has a hard surface and the surface is additionally equipped with a vacuum suction cup, the accuracy of the lamination, the stability of the rubber compound on the drum surface and the rolling quality are significantly improved compared to the “two-drum engineered forming machine”.

[0009] The disadvantages of the four-drum engineered forming machine are as follows: 1. Since this solution uses the form of a rotary table, an unsuitable usage time of the finishing steps on the tools on both sides of the rotary table leads to a disruption in the production process and impairs production efficiency; 2. The occupied area is large, and the shaping tool is mounted to move back and forth on the rotary table, resulting in a large amount of wasted space; 3. In comparison to the “two-drum engineered forming machine”, the number of operators is more than 5 people. 4. The plant occupies a large area, and the distance personnel have to travel back and forth to pick up rubber compound is relatively long, resulting in a waste of effective operating time; 5. Tool changes are slow (at least three tools need to be changed); 6. The arrangement position and the space occupied by the winding system result in some of the space of the entire machine being wasted and the effective utilization of the plant area being reduced; 7. The selling price offers no advantage over the “two-drum machine”.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0015] The present invention is described in detail below with reference to the drawings and specific embodiments: As in Fig. As shown in Figure 3, the invention discloses a forming device comprising a transverse-longitudinal-orthogonal rail unit 4, a transmission mechanism, a carcass lamination unit, a bead core placement unit 5, a belt ply lamination unit, a forming unit, a forming unit, and a tire unloading mechanism 19.

The forming unit comprises a forming tool 12, a forming tool force system 13 and a winding system 18.

[0016] The transverse-longitudinal-orthogonal rail unit 4 consists of two orthogonal transverse rails and longitudinal rails. The forming device is divided into four areas based on the cross-shaped transverse-longitudinal-orthogonal rail unit 4. As shown in Fig.As shown in Figure 3, the area containing the carcass lamination unit is defined as the first area, and the subsequent areas, proceeding counterclockwise, are designated as the second, third, and fourth areas, respectively. The belt ply lamination unit is primarily located in the second area, the forming unit and molding unit are primarily located in the third area, and the tire unloading mechanism 19 and the bead core placement unit 5 are primarily located in the fourth area. Additionally, a personnel workspace is provided in the second and fourth areas, which is advantageous for personnel operations as well as the storage and transfer of materials. The first and third areas are central placement areas for equipment. These two areas feature a high degree of automation, effectively increasing space utilization and avoiding unnecessary space waste.Such a sensible arrangement results in a compact structure for the forming device, requiring little space, which can increase the effective operating area and reduce waste.

[0017] The transmission mechanism comprises a transverse transmission ring 6 and several longitudinal transmission rings. The transverse transmission ring 6 moves back and forth along the transverse rail and primarily serves to transport material in the transverse direction, while the longitudinal transmission rings move back and forth along the longitudinal rail and primarily serve to transport material in the longitudinal direction. There are two longitudinal transmission rings, one a belt ply composite transmission ring 14a and the other a tire casing and tire blank transmission ring 14b. The belt ply composite transmission ring 14a and the tire casing and tire blank transmission ring 14b operate in different areas of the longitudinal rail and do not interfere with each other, which can also improve work efficiency.Specifically, it is provided that the belt ply composite transfer ring 14a is arranged between the belt ply lamination unit and the forming unit and serves to transport the belt ply composite; that the tire casing and tire blank transfer ring 14b is arranged between the forming unit, the forming unit and the tire unloading mechanism 19 and serves to transport the tire casing and the tire blank.

[0018] The bead core placement unit 5 spans the transverse rail longitudinally and is primarily located in the fourth section. The bead core placement unit 5 uses an expandable and shrinkable support disc to hold the bead core. The support disc is movable longitudinally. When the bead core is loaded, the support disc is positioned on the outside of the transverse rail, thus providing more space for manual operation.

[0019] After loading, the bead core is moved to the top of the cross rail and waits until the transverse transmission ring 6 picks it up.

[0020] In the carcass lamination unit, the carcass lamination tool 2 is arranged transversely at one end of the cross rail and uses a tailstock 7 as a support structure. This carcass lamination tool 2 is movable back and forth transversely along the cross rail. This carcass lamination tool 2 serves to laminate, carry, transport, and expand the carcass composite. The carcass lamination tool force system 1 is rigidly connected to the tail end of the carcass lamination tool 2 and provides driving force for rotation, expansion, extension, contraction, and transverse movement of the carcass lamination tool 2. The host feed system 8 is located longitudinally in the first area and feeds the carcass rubber compound to the carcass lamination tool 2.The carcass laminating tool rolling mechanism 3 is located between the host feeding system 8 and the carcass laminating tool 2 and is mainly responsible for rolling and compounding the carcass rubber compound into the carcass composite piece.

[0021] In the belt ply lamination unit, the belt ply lamination tool 15 is arranged transversely, and a rail is provided below it. The belt ply lamination tool 15 can move transversely on this rail. This belt ply lamination tool 15 serves to laminate, carry, transport, and expand the belt ply composite. The belt ply composite force system 16 is rigidly connected to the tail end of the carcass lamination tool 2 and provides driving force for rotation, expansion, extension, contraction, and transverse movement of the belt ply lamination tool. The auxiliary machine feeding unit comprises several feeding devices, which are arranged sequentially transversely along the belt ply lamination tool and feed the belt ply rubber compound to the belt ply lamination tool 15.The belt layer lamination tool rolling mechanism primarily ensures that several belt layer rubber compounds are rolled and compounded together to form the belt layer composite, and can be located at the opposite position from the last feeding device and ultimately roll and compound several belt layer rubber compounds together; furthermore, the belt layer lamination tool rolling mechanism can be provided on the belt layer composite force system 16, so that the belt layer lamination tool rolling mechanism moves with the belt layer lamination tool 15 and the belt layer lamination tools can be rolled and laminated in real time.

[0022] The belt ply lamination unit further comprises a tread feeding mechanism 20, wherein the tread feeding mechanism 20 is arranged longitudinally in the second area and is provided separately from the auxiliary machine feeding system 17 on both sides of the belt ply lamination tool 15, wherein this tread feeding mechanism 20 is used to transport the pre-cut tread to the belt ply lamination tool 15. The adjustment of the tread feeding mechanism 20 can accommodate a variety of tire models or types of production and processing technology (tires with unwound treads). The tread feeding mechanism 20 enables further lamination of the tire surface after completion of the belt ply composite, which can eliminate the subsequent tread winding process of the molding unit.

[0023] In the forming unit, the forming tool 9 is located transversely at the opposite end of the cross rail and uses a tailstock 7 as a support structure. This forming tool 9 can move back and forth transversely along the cross rail. The forming tool power system 10 is rigidly connected to the tail end of the forming tool 9 and provides the driving force for rotation and transverse movement of the forming tool 9. The forming tool rolling mechanism 11 is located on one side of the forming tool 9 and primarily serves to roll and compound the carcass composite with the attached bead core and the belt ply composite to form the tire casing.

[0024] In the forming unit, the forming tool 12 is arranged transversely and uses a tailstock 7 as a support structure. A rail is provided below this forming tool 12, allowing the forming tool 12 to move transversely along this rail. This forming tool 12 serves to wind the tread, carry, and transport the tire blank. The forming tool power system 16 is rigidly connected to the tail end of the forming tool 12 and provides the driving force for rotation and transverse movement of the forming tool. The winding system 18 is located in the third area and is primarily responsible for winding the tread for the tire casing and forming the tire blank.

[0025] The tire unloading mechanism 19 is located in the fourth area and is mounted on the bottom. This tire unloading mechanism primarily serves to dismantle the tire blank transmitted by the tire casing and tire blank transmission ring 14b.

[0026] The tire forming process according to the invention is based on such a forming device and comprises in particular the following steps: 1) The host feeding system 8 feeds the belt ply rubber compound to the carcass lamination tool 2, the carcass lamination tool 2 rotates and works together with the carcass lamination tool rolling mechanism 3 to compound the carcass rubber compound into a carcass composite. 2) The bead core is manually placed onto the bead core placement unit 5 and transported to the bead core pickup station. The transverse transfer ring 6 moves and picks up the bead core, and the bead core placement unit 5 is reset. The carcass lamination tool 2 picks up the carcass composite and moves transversely to the bead core pickup station and expands to bond the carcass composite and the bead core together. The carcass lamination tool 2 is then reset to continue the lamination process of the next carcass composite. The transverse transfer ring 6 picks up the carcass composite with the bead core attached to it and moves to the pickup station of the forming tool 9. The forming tool 9 extends transversely and picks up the carcass composite with the bead core attached to it. The transverse transfer ring 6 and the forming tool 9 are then reset.The transverse transfer ring 6 continues the receiving process of the next bead core and the next carcass composite piece; 3) The auxiliary machine feeding system 17 supplies the belt layer lamination tool 15 with belt layer rubber compound. The belt layer lamination tool 15 expands, rotates, and moves transversely, working in conjunction with the belt layer lamination tool rolling mechanism to compound a variety of belt layer rubber compounds sequentially into a belt layer composite. The belt layer lamination tool 15 then transports the belt layer composite to the starting station of the belt layer composite transfer ring 14a. The belt layer composite transfer ring 14a receives the belt layer composite. The belt layer lamination tool 15 is reset to continue the lamination process of the next belt layer composite.

Subsequently, the belt layer composite transfer ring 14a and the forming tool 9 are reset. The belt layer composite transfer ring 14a continues the receiving process for the next belt layer composite. 4) The forming tool 9 rotates and works in conjunction with the forming tool rolling mechanism 11 to compound the carcass composite with the attached bead core and the belt composite to form a tire casing. The tire casing and tire blank transfer ring 14b moves longitudinally to the receiving station of the forming tool 9. The forming tool 9 transports the tire casing to the receiving station of the forming tool 9 and is picked up by the tire casing and tire blank transfer ring 14b. The forming tool is then reset. The tire casing and tire blank transfer ring 14b carries the tire casing longitudinally and transports it to the receiving station of the forming tool 12. 5) The forming tool 12 projects transversely and picks up the tire casing. The forming tool 12 is then reset. It rotates and works in conjunction with the winding system 18 to wind the tread for the tire casing and form the tire blank. The forming tool 12 transports the tire blank to the receiving station of the forming tool 12, where it is picked up by the tire casing and tire blank transfer ring 14b. The forming tool 12 is then reset.
