Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of tire molds, and in particular to an air hole sleeve embedding device and equipment. Background Art

[0002] During the existing tire vulcanization process, to release air from the mold cavity and ensure even distribution of rubber, existing tire molds are equipped with multiple vent holes. In some cases, rubber can be squeezed into these holes, forming rubber hair. During demolding, some of this hair may become lodged in the holes. This can hinder the release of air during subsequent vulcanization, preventing the mold cavity from being completely filled with rubber. To prevent this, various vent holes are typically fitted with air vent sleeves.

[0003] Currently, there is a problem of low efficiency in the inlaying of pattern blocks or side plate air hole sleeves. Summary of the Invention

[0048] Example 1

[0049] Figure 1 Schematic diagram of the pore sleeve embedding device 100 from a first perspective in Example 1 of the present invention; Figure 2 2. A schematic diagram of the pore sleeve embedding device 100 according to Example 1 of the present invention from a second viewing angle;

[0050] Figure 3 This is a partial cross-sectional view of the pore sleeve embedding device 100 in Example 1 of the present invention. Figures 1 to 3The present embodiment provides a pore sleeve inserting device 100 for inserting a pore sleeve 190 into the exhaust hole of a tire mold. The pore sleeve inserting device 100 includes a fixed seat 110, a sliding seat 120, a punch rod 130, and a return mechanism.

[0051] One end of the punch rod 130 is connected to the fixing base 110 via a power member 132, and the other end of the punch rod 130 extends in a preset direction (i.e., the direction in which the pore sleeve 190 is nailed in, direction a in the figure). The power member 132 is used to provide the punch rod 130 with a thrust in the preset direction, so that the punch rod 130 can insert the pore sleeve into the exhaust hole. In this embodiment, the power member 132 is an air shovel. In other embodiments of the present invention, the pore sleeve inserting device 100 may also not include the power member 132, and an external power may be used to push the punch rod 130 to insert the pore sleeve 190.

[0052] The sliding seat 120 is slidably mounted on the fixed seat 110. The sliding seat 120 is provided with a plunger channel 129 that slidably engages with the plunger 130. The plunger channel 129 extends throughout the entire sliding seat 120. When the sliding seat 120 moves relative to the fixed seat 110, the plunger 130 can eject the air hole sleeve 190 within the plunger channel 129. Specifically, in this embodiment, the fixed seat 110 is provided with a first guide rail 112 extending in a predetermined direction. The sliding seat 120 cooperates with the first guide rail 112 to enable the sliding seat 120 to slide relative to the fixed seat 110 in the predetermined direction.

[0053] Figure 4 for Figure 3 Please refer to the enlarged view of the local IV. Figure 4 In this embodiment, a feed port 123 is provided on the inner wall of the punch channel 129, and a feed mechanism is provided on the sliding seat 120. The feed mechanism is used to push the pore sleeve 190 from the feed port 123 into the punch channel 129. The sliding seat 120 includes a push channel 122 connected to the feed port 123 and a feed channel 121 connected to the push channel 122. The push channel 122 extends in a direction perpendicular to a preset direction (i.e., the ef direction in the figure). One end of the feed channel 121 is connected to the side wall of the push channel 122, and the other end of the feed channel 121 is connected to the outside of the sliding seat 120, so that the pore sleeve 190 can enter the push channel 122 from the feed channel 121 and then be pushed into the punch channel 129 by the feed mechanism.

[0054] In this embodiment, the feeding mechanism includes a pushing portion 124 and a pushing driving member that drives the pushing portion 124 to move along the pushing channel 122 . The pushing portion 124 is used to abut the air hole sleeve 190 and push it from the pushing channel 122 into the punch channel 129 .

[0055] Optionally, one end of the push channel 122 away from the punch channel 129 is provided with an abutment 128, and the push driving member is a push spring 127, and the two ends of the push spring 127 are respectively in contact with the push portion 124 and the abutment 128. The push portion 124 is provided with a guide rod 125, which extends along the ef direction, passes through the abutment 128 and extends outside the push channel 122. Further, the push spring 127 is sleeved on the guide rod 125, and the push spring 127 is in a compressed state and can push the push portion 124 to move toward the punch channel 129. The motion range of the push portion 124 spans both sides of the feed channel 121 outlet (i.e., one end connected to the push channel 122) in the ef direction. It should be understood that in other embodiments, the push driving member can also be other devices such as a cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, a linear motor, etc.

[0056] Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the guide portion 126 in Example 1 of the present invention. Figure 4 and Figure 5 The end of the guide rod 125 extending out of the pushing channel 122 is provided with a guide portion 126. The guide portion 126 and the end of the guide rod 125 extending out of the pushing channel 122 can be fixedly connected, or the guide rod 125 passes through the guide portion 126 to provide a blocking member. The blocking member prevents the guide portion 126 from separating from the guide rod 125. The blocking member can be a limiting nut or a hairpin pin and other components. A limiting portion 113 is provided on the fixed seat 110. The guide portion 126 has a guiding surface, which can be an arc surface, an inclined surface, etc. In this embodiment, the guide surface is a guide slope 1263, and one end of the guide slope 1263 in the b direction is relatively away from the fixed seat 110 relative to the end in the a direction. When the sliding seat 120 moves in the opposite direction of the preset direction (i.e., the b direction), the guide slope 1263 can abut the limiting portion 113 and slide relative to the limiting portion 113, so that the guide portion 126 drives the guide rod 125 and the pushing portion 124 to move in a direction away from the punch rod channel 129, and the pushing spring 127 is compressed.

[0057] In this embodiment, the guide portion 126 includes a base plate 1261 and side plates 1262 disposed on opposite sides of the base plate 1261, so that the guide portion 126 is generally U-shaped. A guide slope 1263 is located on one of the sides of the side plates 1262 adjacent to the base plate 1261. In this embodiment, two stoppers 113 are provided on the fixed seat 110, and the sliding seat 120 is located between the two stoppers 113. When the sliding seat 120 moves relative to the fixed seat 110 in the opposite direction of the preset direction (i.e., direction b), the two guide slopes 1263 of the guide portion 126 will abut against the stoppers 113 and slide relative to the stoppers 113. Under the traction of the guide portion 126, the push portion will move in a direction away from the punch channel 129. After crossing the exit position of the feed channel 121, the air hole sleeve 190 in the feed channel 121 can fall into the push channel 122. Then, when the sliding seat 120 moves relative to the fixed seat 110 in direction a, the guide portion 126 no longer abuts the limiting portion 113, and the free end of the punch 130 moves to the upper side of the feed port 123 (on the side in direction b), and the pushing drive member pushes the pushing portion 124 to reset, thereby pushing the pore sleeve 190 from the pushing channel 122 into the punch channel 129. Thereafter, the pore sleeve 190 can be pushed by the punch 130 for inlaying.

[0058] It should be noted that, in an optional embodiment of the present invention, the guide bevel 1263 is located on a side edge of the side plate 1262, and its contact with the limiting portion 113 can be surface contact, line contact, or even point contact. When surface contact occurs, the limiting portion 113 should have an inclined surface with the same inclination as the guide bevel 1263; when line contact occurs, the guide bevel 1263 can be a plane, and the position where the limiting portion 113 contacts the guide bevel 1263 is the edge of the limiting portion 113; when point contact occurs, the guide bevel 1263 can be a smooth arc surface and is used to contact the edge of the limiting portion 113.

[0059] In the present embodiment, the return mechanism includes a first driving portion 140 for driving the sliding seat 120 to move along the first guide rail 112, and the first driving portion 140 is a cylinder or a return spring 142. As shown in the figure, in the present embodiment, the first driving portion 140 is a disengagement cylinder fixedly connected to the sliding seat 120, and the disengagement cylinder is preferably a rodless cylinder, which can drive the sliding seat 120 to move along the ab direction. The two ends of the cylinder barrel are respectively fixed on the fixed seat 110. In some other embodiments, the first driving portion 140 is an ordinary piston rod cylinder, the cylinder body is fixed on the fixed seat 110, and the piston cylinder is connected to the sliding seat 120. Of course, in other embodiments of the present invention, the return mechanism may not be provided, but manual return may be performed to allow the air hole sleeve 190 to be filled into the punch rod channel 129.

[0060] Figure 6FIG. 1 is a structural diagram of another pore sleeve embedding device 100 in Example 1 of the present invention. Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, the first driving part 140 is a return spring 142, one end of the spring is connected to the fixed seat 110, and the other end is connected to the sliding seat 120, so that the sliding seat 120 can move in the direction a under the thrust of the return spring 142, and the free end of the punch rod 130 can move to the upstream of the feed port 123 in the direction a, and the air hole sleeve can be pushed into the punch rod channel 129 by the feeding mechanism.

[0061] In order to prevent the sliding seat 120 from rigidly colliding with the limiting portion 113 on the fixed seat 110 when moving in direction a, the limiting portion 113 is optionally provided with a buffer member 114. The buffer member 114 is a rubber block in this embodiment. Of course, it can also be an elastic member such as a spring.

[0062] Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the clamping spring 150 in Example 1 of the present invention. Figure 7 and combined Figure 3 To prevent the vent sleeve from falling directly out of the lower end of the piercing channel 129 under the force of gravity after entering the piercing channel 129, a limiter is provided within the piercing channel 129 in this embodiment. The limiter is used to restrict the movement of the vent sleeve in a predetermined direction under gravity and to release the limiter when the vent sleeve is driven in the predetermined direction by an external force. In this embodiment, the limiter is a retaining spring 150. The retaining spring 150 is located downstream of the feed inlet 123 in the direction a. After the vent sleeve 190 enters the piercing channel 129 from the feed inlet 123, it falls into the clamping space of the retaining spring 150 and is restrained from further falling in the direction a under the force of gravity. Specifically, the retaining spring 150 includes a collar 152 and a plurality of circumferentially spaced claws 154 around the collar 152. The inner diameter of the collar 152 is larger than the outer diameter of the piercing rod 130, thereby allowing the piercing rod 130 to pass through the center of the collar 152. One end of the claw 154 is connected to the collar 152. The claw 154 extends in a preset direction (direction a) and contracts inward. The multiple claws 154 form a clamping space and are used to limit the movement of the pore sleeve 190 in direction a under gravity. Since the claw 154 is elastic, it can deform to a certain extent in the radial direction. Therefore, when the punch 130 abuts the pore sleeve 190 and moves in direction a relative to the sliding seat 120, the pore sleeve 190 can force the claw 154 to expand radially outward and move toward the target exhaust hole through the retaining spring 150. Preferably, the free end of the claw 154 can have a smooth bend to prevent the pore sleeve 190 from being scratched by the claw 154. The retaining spring 150 can be fixedly connected to the sliding seat 120 through multiple protrusions. Of course, other fixing methods can also be used between the retaining spring 150 and the fixed seat 110.

[0063] It should be understood that the form of the limiting member is not limited to the retaining spring 150 of this embodiment, but can also be other forms, such as a retractable limiting ball or limiting column protruding from the inner wall of the punch channel 129 and connected to a spring.

[0064] Furthermore, a quick-change connector 160 is provided at the outlet end of the punch channel 129. The quick-change connector 160 is a hollow structure that is threadedly connected to the sliding seat 120. The cavity of the quick-change connector 160 and the cavity of the sliding seat 120 together constitute the entire punch channel 129. The user can select an appropriate quick-change connector 160 based on the diameter of the air hole sleeve 190 to improve the accuracy of the inlay.

[0065] The method of using the pore sleeve embedding device 100 of this embodiment is as follows:

[0066] The air hole sleeve is filled into the feed channel 121, and the air hole sleeve enters the push channel 122 from the feed channel 121. At this time, the push portion 124 is on the e side of the feed channel 121. In addition, at this time, the sliding seat 120 has not yet moved in the a direction under the action of the return mechanism. The guide portion 126 is now in contact with the limiting portion 113, the push spring 127 is in a compressed state, and the free end of the punch rod 130 is downstream of the feed port 123. The feed port 123 is blocked by the punch rod 130. Then the return mechanism drives the sliding seat 120 to move in the direction a relative to the fixed seat 110. After the guide portion 126 loses the contact with the limiting portion 113, the pushing portion 124 moves toward the punch channel 129 under the drive of the pushing drive member (i.e., the pushing spring 127 in this embodiment). When the sliding seat 120 moves to the most downstream in the direction a, the free end of the punch 130 moves to the upstream of the feed port 123 in the direction a. The feed port 123 opens, and the pushing portion 124 pushes the pore sleeve from the feed port 123 into the punch channel 129. After the pore sleeve enters the punch channel 129, it is temporarily restricted by the retaining spring 150. At this time, the user moves the pore sleeve inlay device 100 to the corresponding exhaust hole and aligns the free end of the quick-change connector 160 with the exhaust hole. The entire moving process can be achieved manually or by a machine tool, a robotic arm, etc. At this point, the device is pushed in direction a. The sliding seat 120 stops moving relative to the mold after contacting it, but the punch 130 and the fixed seat 110 continue to move in direction a. If the first drive unit 140 is a cylinder, the first drive unit 140 can be used to drive the sliding seat 120 to move in direction b relative to the fixed seat 110, thereby reducing the resistance to the movement of the punch 130 and the fixed seat 110 in direction a and minimizing wear on the first drive unit 140. After the punch 130 contacts the vent sleeve, it continues to push the vent sleeve 190 away from the retaining ring 150, ultimately pushing it to the exhaust hole. The power member 132 is then activated, driving the punch 130 to insert the vent sleeve into the exhaust hole.

[0067] During the inlaying process, the sliding seat 120 moves in direction b relative to the fixed seat 110, the guide member abuts the abutment portion 128, the pushing portion 124 moves in direction e, and the next air hole sleeve in the feeding channel 121 can enter the pushing channel 122 again.

[0068] In summary, after using the pore sleeve inserting device 100 of this embodiment, the pore sleeve 190 moves along the various channels after the material is added, and ultimately enters the exhaust hole directly from the free end of the quick-change connector 160. The entire process avoids the need to manually hold the pore sleeve, and only requires aligning the punch channel 129 with the exhaust hole. Under the guidance of the punch channel 129, the precision, efficiency, and process stability of the inserting are improved. Furthermore, the use of the pore sleeve inserting device 100 avoids the significant impact on the mold that may be caused by traditional inserting methods.

[0069] Example 2

[0070] Figure 8 This is a structural diagram of the pore sleeve embedding device 100 in Example 2 of the present invention. Figure 8 This embodiment provides a pore sleeve embedding device 100, which is substantially the same as the device of Example 1, except that the pore sleeve embedding device 100 of this embodiment further includes a base 180 and a second drive unit 185. The base 180 is provided with a second guide rail 184. The fixed base 110 slides with the base 180 via the second guide rail 184 and can move relative to the base 180 in the ab direction. The second drive unit 185 is at least used to drive the fixed base 110 to move in a predetermined direction (direction a). Preferably, the second drive unit 185 can drive the fixed base 110 to move in the ab direction. In this embodiment, the second drive unit 185 is similar to the first drive unit 140 and can be a rodless cylinder that can drive the fixed base 110 to move in the ab direction. The two ends of the cylinder are respectively fixed to the base 180. In other embodiments, the second drive unit 185 can also be a cylinder with a piston rod or a linear motor, as long as it can drive the fixed base 110 to move in the ab direction relative to the base 180.

[0071] Compared to Example 1, in the process of embedding the pore sleeve 190 in the pore sleeve embedding device 100 of this embodiment, the base 180 can remain stationary, and the second driving part 185 drives the fixed seat 110 and the punch 130 to embed. Therefore, the embedding process, including the embedding depth, etc., can be controlled by controlling the second driving part 185. In order to control the position of the fixed seat 110 on the base 180, the base 180 is provided with three sensors for detecting the position of the fixed seat 110 at intervals in the ab direction. For example, the first sensor 181 is located at the most downstream in the a direction, the second sensor 182 is located at a suitable position in the middle of the base 180, and the third sensor 183 is located at the most upstream in the a direction. When the fixed seat 110 reaches these positions, it will be detected by the sensors. When the sensor is connected to an external control system, the system can take corresponding actions based on the position of the fixed seat 110. For example, when the first sensor 181 is reached, the first drive unit 140 is controlled to move the sliding seat 120 in the direction a to complete the filling. When the second sensor 182 is reached, it can serve as a signal to start inserting the pore sleeve. That is, when this position is reached, the power member 132 can be turned on, and the second drive unit 185 starts to move in the direction a, driving the punch 130 to insert the pore sleeve 190 into the exhaust hole. When the fixed seat 110, punch 130, etc. need to be retracted, the third sensor 183 can detect whether they are retracted into place. Optionally, each sensor in this embodiment is a photoelectric sensor.

[0072] The method of using the pore sleeve embedding device 100 of this embodiment is as follows:

[0073] When the fixed seat 110 moves to its lowest point (direction a) relative to the base 180, and the sliding seat 120 moves to its lowest point relative to the fixed seat 110, the vent sleeve has already been filled into the punch rod channel 129. When the quick-change connector 160 is brought into contact with the vent, the base 180 continues to move in direction a, forcing the sliding seat 120 to move in direction b relative to the fixed seat 110. The punch rod 130, after contacting the vent sleeve, pushes the vent sleeve from the retaining spring 150 to the outlet of the quick-change connector 160, where it makes initial contact with the vent on the mold. The base 180 continues to move in direction a. Because the second drive unit 185 does not apply sufficient force to the fixed seat 110 to drive the vent sleeve into the vent, the punch rod 130 and the fixed seat 110 cannot continue to move in direction a, and instead retreat in direction b relative to the base 180. During the retreat process, preferably, the second drive unit 185 can drive the fixed seat 110 to move in the direction b relative to the base 180 to reduce the resistance of the base 180 to move in the direction a. When the fixed seat 110 moves to the second sensor 182, the base 180 stops moving in the direction a, the power member 132 is activated, and the second drive unit 185 also drives the fixed seat 110 to move in the direction a, thereby completing the inlay operation of the punch 130. When the base 180 reaches the position of the first sensor 181, the inlay can be stopped. It can be understood that the distance between the second sensor 182 and the first sensor 181 determines the inlay depth, so the inlay depth can be adjusted according to the distance between the two.

[0074] Example 3

[0075] Figure 9 This is a structural diagram of the pore sleeve embedding device 100 in Example 3 of the present invention. Figure 9This embodiment provides a pore sleeve embedding device 100, which is roughly the same as the device of Example 2, except that the power piece 132 in this embodiment is a cylinder or a linear motor. In addition, the power piece 132 is fixed to the base 180, and its output end (such as a piston rod) is connected to the fixed seat 110, and the fixed seat 110 is fixedly connected to the punch rod 130. At this time, it is equivalent to the power piece 132 and the punch rod 130 being connected through a force measuring device 134, which can detect the pressure between the power piece 132 and the punch rod 130 in real time, so that it can be judged by the detected pressure whether the pore sleeve has moved and embedded in the corresponding position. In this embodiment, the displacement of the fixed seat 110 relative to the base 180 can be achieved by the power piece 132, so the second drive part 185 can also be omitted in this embodiment. Compared with Example 1, the power piece 132 of this device uses a cylinder or a linear motor instead of an air shovel, so there is no vibration and the depth can be precisely controlled. Optionally, when the force measuring device 134 is electrically connected to an external control system (not shown), the pressure value is input into the system in real time. The system compares this force with a set value. If the pressure is greater than the set value, it indicates that the vent sleeve has met the insertion requirements. If it is less than the set value, it indicates that the requirements have not been met, and the cylinder continues to press down. The set value is the force value displayed after a certain model of vent sleeve is pressed into the exhaust hole.

[0076] Other beneficial effects and principles of the pore sleeve embedding device 100 of this embodiment can be referred to in Examples 1 and 2, and will not be described in detail here.

Figure 11 This is a partial cross-sectional view of the pore sleeve embedding device 100 in Example 4 of the present invention. Figure 10 and Figure 11 The air hole sleeve embedding device 100 of this embodiment is substantially the same as the device provided in Example 2, and the difference lies in the different feeding mechanisms. In this embodiment, the feeding mechanism is a box body 170 connected to the sliding seat 120, and the inner cavity of the box body 170 is connected to the feed port 123; a plurality of air hole sleeves 190 can be arranged and accommodated in the inner cavity of the box body 170, and under the action of gravity, can enter the punch rod channel 129 in sequence. Furthermore, a detection device 172 is provided at the position of the feed port 123 for detecting whether there is an air hole sleeve 190 at the feed port 123. Figure 11 As shown, it can be understood that this air hole sleeve embedding device 100 is more suitable for the situation where the nailing direction is horizontal. It reduces the pushing part 124, the pushing drive part, the guide part 126 and other structures in Examples 1 and 2, and also simplifies the channel in the sliding seat 120 for the air hole sleeve 190 to pass through.

[0079] Example 5

[0080] Figure 12 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a pore sleeve inlaying device 200 provided in Example 5 of the present invention. It is equipped with the pore sleeve inlaying device 100 in Example 4. The pore sleeve inlaying device 200 also includes a machine tool axis 210 and a control system (not shown in the figure). The machine tool axis 210 is connected to the base 180 and can drive the entire pore sleeve inlaying device 100 to move to the position where the pore sleeve needs to be inlaid in the mold. The control system is electrically connected to the machine tool axis 210 and the various sensors, first drive unit 140, second drive unit 185, and power member 132 in the pore sleeve inlaying device 100 to achieve signal transmission and control. It is understood that in other embodiments of the present invention, the pore sleeve inlaying device 200 may also include power components such as a robotic arm to move the pore sleeve inlaying device 200; in other embodiments, the pore sleeve inlaying device 200 may also be equipped with any of the pore sleeve inlaying devices 100 in Examples 1-3. Its usage and beneficial effects have been explained in the above embodiments and will not be repeated here.

[0081] In summary, an embodiment of the present invention provides an air hole sleeve inlay device, which includes a fixed seat, a punch rod and a sliding seat slidably arranged on the fixed seat. One end of the punch rod is connected to the fixed seat, and the other end of the punch rod extends along a preset direction. A punch rod channel that slides with the punch rod is provided on the sliding seat. When the sliding seat moves relative to the fixed seat, the punch rod can push out the air hole sleeve in the punch rod channel. When in use, the outlet end of the punch rod channel abuts against the position corresponding to the exhaust hole on the mold, and the air hole sleeve in the punch rod channel can be supported by the punch rod and directly pushed into the exhaust hole from the punch rod channel. The entire process does not require manual support of the air hole sleeve, and the moving path of the air hole sleeve is limited by the punch rod channel. Therefore, the entire inlay process is efficient and precise.

[0082] The pore sleeve embedding equipment of the embodiment of the present invention includes the above-mentioned pore sleeve embedding device, and therefore also has the same beneficial effects.
