Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of torque testing, and in particular relates to a vulcanization inner mold drum auxiliary installation and torque testing method. Background Art

[0002] The vulcanization inner mold drum is a new type of tire vulcanization process equipment. It is the inner mold used for tire vulcanization and shaping, and primarily consists of a drive unit, a connecting rod mechanism, and a drum shoe heating device. Its primary function is to vulcanize rubber tires, giving the finished tires an exquisite tread pattern and excellent performance. The vulcanization inner mold drum's mechanism is able to expand and contract freely, meeting certain expansion and contraction ratio requirements, enabling vulcanization and tire removal. Its overall structural stability is excellent, enabling normal operation under the high-temperature and high-pressure vulcanization environment. On the one hand, the vulcanization inner mold drum has a complex structure, limited space, and a large number of parts. On the other hand, the vulcanization inner mold drum's motion stability significantly affects molding accuracy. Existing research has not focused on testing the stability and motion of the inner mold used for vulcanization and shaping. Therefore, to improve manual installation efficiency and conduct dynamic testing, it is necessary to design a test bench for assisted installation and torque testing of the vulcanization inner mold drum to facilitate motion testing and analysis of the vulcanization inner mold drum. Summary of the Invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] The present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to the embodiments and drawings, but the embodiments of the present invention are not limited thereto.

[0020] This embodiment provides a test bench for auxiliary installation and torque testing of a vulcanized inner mold drum, comprising a test bench 1, a spindle mounting member 3, a sprocket drive mechanism, a torque testing mechanism, and a motor 2. The vulcanized inner mold drum 5 includes a vulcanized inner mold drum spindle 4 and a drive shaft 13 that rotates within the vulcanized inner mold drum spindle 4. The vulcanized inner mold drum 5 is disposed above the tabletop of the test bench 1, and the vulcanized inner mold drum spindle 4 is fixed to the tabletop of the test bench. The bottom end of the drive shaft 13 passes through the tabletop of the test bench 1 and is connected to a large sprocket 12.

[0021] The spindle mounting part 3 is detachably connected to the table of the test bench 1 and is detachably connected to the vulcanization inner mold drum spindle 4, and is used to fix and install the vulcanization inner mold drum 5, so as to facilitate the subsequent assembly and testing of the vulcanization inner mold drum 5.

[0022] In this embodiment, the spindle mounting member 3 is a flange. Bolts secure the flange to the test bench 1 and to the vulcanization inner mold drum spindle 4. This embodiment is equipped with multiple flanges of varying sizes, allowing replacement of flanges of varying sizes as needed to accommodate various types of vulcanization inner mold drum equipment.

[0023] The torque testing mechanism includes a torque wrench 6, a connector 7, a rotating shaft 8, and a flange 9. The flange 9 is fixed to the table of the test bench 1. The rotating shaft 8 rotates to the center of the flange 9. The top end of the rotating shaft 8 is connected to the connector 7, and the bottom end of the rotating shaft 8 passes through the table of the test bench 1 and is connected to the sprocket transmission mechanism. By connecting the connector of the torque wrench 6 to the connector 7 and rotating the torque wrench 6, the rotating shaft 8 can be rotated, which can then drive the drive shaft 13 of the vulcanization inner mold drum 5 to rotate through the sprocket transmission mechanism to perform a torque test.

[0024] Motor 2 is fixed to the test bench 1 and located below the test bench 1. Its output shaft faces the main shaft 4 of the vulcanization inner mold drum and is connected to the large sprocket 12 in the sprocket drive mechanism. It is used to drive the drive shaft 13 of the vulcanization inner mold drum 5 to rotate and perform motion testing of the vulcanization inner mold drum 5. In this embodiment, motor 2 is a servo motor, which provides smoother operation.

[0025] The sprocket transmission mechanism includes a large sprocket 12, a small sprocket 11, and a chain 10. The large sprocket 12 is connected to the output shaft of the motor 2, and the large sprocket 12 is connected to the transmission shaft 13 in the vulcanization inner mold drum 5 to drive the transmission shaft 13 to rotate. The small sprocket 11 is connected to the bottom end of the rotating shaft 8, and the two ends of the chain 10 are wound around the large sprocket 12 and the small sprocket 11. The sprocket transmission mechanism can transmit the torque of the torque testing mechanism and perform torque scaling. By controlling the dimensional parameters of the large sprocket 12 and the small sprocket 11, the torque applied to the rotating shaft 8 of the torque testing mechanism when the transmission shaft 13 of the vulcanization inner mold drum 5 is rotated can be within the range of the torque wrench 6.

[0026] After the torque test, the required torque of the vulcanized inner mold drum drive shaft 13 is calculated based on the actual measured torque and the actual scaling factor (the torque of the rotating shaft 8 measured by the torque wrench is 1 / x times the torque applied to the drive shaft 13, where x is the ratio of the outer diameter of the large sprocket to the outer diameter of the small sprocket). Subsequently, a motor 2 with appropriate parameters is selected based on the required torque. The motor 2 is then mounted on the test bench 1. The motor 2 operates, driving the large sprocket 12, which in turn drives the vulcanized inner mold drum 5 via the drive shaft 13, allowing for motion testing of the entire vulcanized inner mold drum 5. The motion testing includes analysis of the vulcanized inner mold drum's motion smoothness, motion interference, molding accuracy, and positioning accuracy. During the motion testing, the torque wrench can be removed since the torque test has already been completed. This test bench facilitates installation and experimental testing, facilitating the study of the equipment's motion characteristics (torque, speed, smoothness, molding accuracy, etc.).

[0027] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can make equivalent replacements or changes based on the technical solution of the present invention within the scope disclosed by the present invention, which falls within the scope of protection of the present invention.
