Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of tire processing, and more particularly, to an automatic steel ring feeding method and device. Background Art

[0002] The bead is one of the key components of the structure of a truck tire and is the skeleton for supporting the tire. The bead of a truck tire consists of a hexagonal steel ring, a triangular rubber core, etc. During high-speed driving of the vehicle, it bears radial force, tangential force, and lateral torsion; if there is air between the triangular rubber core and the steel ring during the manufacturing process of the bead, or if the error at the joint of the rubber core is too large, it will affect the dynamic and static balance quality and service life of the tire.

[0003] The tire triangular rubber bead forming system is a new type of tire component production process and equipment that combines semi-finished components, namely triangular rubber and hexagonal steel rings, during the manufacturing process of truck tires. It greatly improves production efficiency, enhances the automation level, and saves logistics costs.

[0004] The existing tire bead triangular rubber laminator manually winds the pre-determined length of the triangular rubber core on a hydraulically driven laminating drum and manually presses the joint using a special pressing wheel. It is then turned over and laminated with the pre-placed steel ring to form a bead.

[0005] The above-mentioned laminator has a low degree of automation, low manual operation efficiency, and high labor intensity. It seriously affects the production efficiency of the triangular rubber laminator. The rubber strip edge is prone to curling during the lamination process with the steel ring. Moreover, in the prior art, operations such as placing the steel ring and removing the bead all require manual operation.

[0006] Some vertical laminators, although having a relatively high degree of automation, do not significantly improve the lamination efficiency; because their cutting structure is a roller-type passive transmission of the rubber strip, and the cutting length is determined by the winding process of the laminating drum and is cut after stopping. Therefore, this method hinders the continuity and efficiency of lamination.

[0007] Since operations such as winding, wrapping, transporting, automatically loading, and unloading the hexagonal steel ring require manual handling and operation. It not only involves a large number of workers, but also requires many logistics vehicles and occupies a large area. It also restricts the automation level and efficiency of the entire tire triangular rubber bead forming. Summary of the Invention

[0008] The main object of the present invention is to provide an automatic steel ring feeding method and device to solve the problems of low automation level and efficiency in the formation of tire triangular rubber beads in the prior art.

[0009] To achieve the above object, according to one aspect of the present invention, an automatic steel ring feeding method is provided.

[0010] Further, when the steel ring gripper grabs the steel ring placed on the storage part, the steel ring gripper moves downward along the longitudinal direction and grabs the steel ring, and then the steel ring gripper moves upward to take out the steel ring from the card slot of the storage part.

[0011] Further, the fixing member includes a plurality of grippers movably arranged along the radial direction of the fixed disk. When the steel ring is placed on the fixed disk, each gripper moves in a direction away from each other and clamps and fixes the steel ring from the inner side of the steel ring.

[0015] Further, the steel ring picking device further includes a picking frame having a longitudinal slide rail extending along the longitudinal direction. The steel ring gripper is slidably arranged on the longitudinal slide rail and can descend to grab the steel ring and ascend to take out the grabbed steel ring from the card slot of the storage part.

[0016] Further, the picking frame further has a third slide rail extending along the third direction, and the longitudinal slide rail can slide along the third slide rail and drive the steel ring gripper to slide along the third slide rail together.

[0017] Further, the picking rack further has a fourth slide rail extending in the fourth direction. The longitudinal slide rail is disposed on the fourth slide rail, and the fourth slide rail is disposed on the third slide rail. The longitudinal slide rail and the rim gripper can jointly slide along the fourth slide rail.

[0018] Further, the rim loading device further includes: a loading rack having a loading slide rail in the fourth direction; a connecting frame with the fixed disk standing upright. The two ends of the connecting frame are respectively connected to the loading slide rail and the fixed disk, and can drive the fixed disk to slide along the loading slide rail.

[0019] Further, the fixing member includes a plurality of grippers movably disposed on the fixed disk. Each gripper can be movably disposed along the radial direction of the fixed disk, and can move in a direction away from each other to fix the rim, or move in a direction close to each other to release the rim.

[0020] Further, the fixing member includes a magnet disposed on the surface of the fixed disk. The magnet can attract the rim to fix the rim on the fixed disk by magnetic force and keep it vertical.

[0021] Further, the automatic rim feeding device further includes a locking device that can be docked with the storage member to lock the position of the storage member.

[0039] It should be noted that, without conflict, the embodiments in the present application and the features in the embodiments may be combined with each other. The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings and in combination with the embodiments.

[0040] It should be pointed out that, unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used in the present application have the same meanings as those commonly understood by those of ordinary skill in the technical field to which the present application belongs.

[0041] In the present invention, unless otherwise stated, the orientation words such as "upper, lower, top, bottom" are generally in the directions shown in the drawings, or in the vertical, perpendicular or gravitational directions of the components themselves; similarly, for the convenience of understanding and description, "inner, outer" refer to the inner and outer of the contours of the respective components, but the above orientation words are not used to limit the present invention.

[0042] In order to solve the problems of low automation degree and efficiency in the tire bead forming of the triangular rubber in the prior art, the present invention provides an automatic steel ring feeding method and device.

[0043] Since the steel ring wrapping storage method and device in this embodiment are respectively applied to the tire bead forming method and system of the triangular rubber, this embodiment will be described in detail from the overall tire bead forming system and method of the triangular rubber.

[0044] Such as Figures 1 to 12A tire bead filler forming system as shown includes a bead filler production system 10 for producing bead fillers, a bead winding machine 20 for winding steel wires into a bead, a bead joint winding machine 30 for winding and wrapping the ends of the bead, a bead wrapping and rubberizing machine 40 for winding and wrapping the whole bead, a lifting and transfer device 50, a bead grasping and transporting device 60, an automatic bead feeding device 70, a fitting disc device 80, and a logistics device 90. The lifting and transfer device 50 has a storage member 51 for storing beads. The bead grasping and transporting device 60 has a movable bead gripper that can grasp the bead and sequentially transport it to the bead winding machine 20, the bead joint winding machine 30, and the bead wrapping and rubberizing machine 40 for processing, and then grasp and transport it to the storage member 51 for storage. The automatic bead feeding device 70 includes a bead picking device 71 and a bead feeding device 72. The bead picking device 71 clamps and places the bead on the storage member 51 onto the bead feeding device 72. The bead feeding device 72 transports the bead to the fitting disc device 80. The bead filler produced by the bead filler production system 10 is transported to the fitting disc device 80. The fitting disc device 80 fits the bead and the bead filler to form a bead filler tire bead. The fitting disc device 80 clamps the processed bead filler tire bead onto the logistics device 90, and the logistics device 90 transports it to the subsequent device.

[0045] In this embodiment, through the mutual cooperation of the above devices, a bead processing production line and a bead filler processing production line are formed, and the two production lines converge to form an overall bead filler tire bead processing production line. Each device in the bead filler tire bead processing production line can operate automatically. Specifically, the bead filler production system 10 is set up as a whole with automation, automatically extruding, cutting, and forming the rubber strip into a bead filler, and processing the rubber strip into the required bead filler. The bead winding machine 20, the bead joint winding machine 30, and the bead wrapping and rubberizing machine 40 sequentially perform the winding, joint winding, and wrapping and rubberizing processing of the bead. The bead grasping and transporting device 60 plays the role of grasping and transporting the bead, enabling the bead to be processed on the bead winding machine 20, the bead joint winding machine 30, and the bead wrapping and rubberizing machine 40 in sequence, thereby forming the required bead. The lifting and transfer device 50 is used on the one hand to store the processed bead, and on the other hand to transport the bead, that is, to transport the bead from the bead grasping and transporting device 60 to the automatic bead feeding device 70, realizing the temporary storage and transfer of the bead, and this process is also automatic and does not require manual intervention. The automatic bead feeding device 70 can grasp the bead from the storage member 51 and preliminarily fix the position of the bead, so as to facilitate the subsequent processing of fitting the bead and the bead filler by the fitting disc device 80. The logistics device 90 transports the processed bead filler tire bead for subsequent transportation, so as to facilitate the subsequent processing procedures. The above devices are all set up with automation, so that the overall automation and unmanned operation of the tire bead filler forming system can be realized, the automation degree can be improved, the labor intensity of workers can be reduced, and the overall processing efficiency can be improved.

[0046] In this embodiment, a steel ring wrapping machine 20, a steel ring joint winding machine 30, a steel ring wrapping and rubberizing machine 40, a lifting and transferring device 50, and a steel ring grasping and transporting device 60 form a steel ring wrapping storage system. The steel ring wrapping storage system is similar to the triangular rubber production system 10. The steel ring wrapping storage system is a production line for steel ring processing, transportation, and storage, while the triangular rubber production system 10 is a production line for triangular rubber processing, transportation, and storage. The two respectively supply the steel rings and triangular rubber required for processing the triangular rubber bead to the bonding disc device 80.

[0047] As Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, the steel ring grasping and transporting device 60 includes a truss 61 and a plurality of steel ring grippers movably arranged on the truss 61. The steel ring grippers move between the steel ring wrapping machine 20, the steel ring joint winding machine 30, the steel ring wrapping and rubberizing machine 40, and the storage member 51, and sequentially grasp and place the steel rings onto the steel ring wrapping machine 20, the steel ring joint winding machine 30, the steel ring wrapping and rubberizing machine 40, and the storage member 51. The steel ring grippers have a plurality of grasping parts and can transport multiple steel rings simultaneously.

[0048] Specifically, all the steel ring grippers in this embodiment include a first gripper 62, a second gripper 63, and a third gripper 64. Among them, the first gripper 62 is arranged between the steel ring wrapping machine 20 and the steel ring joint winding machine 30 and can reciprocate between the steel ring wrapping machine 20 and the steel ring joint winding machine 30 to grasp the steel ring wound by the steel ring wrapping machine 20 onto the steel ring joint winding machine 30; the second gripper 63 is arranged between the steel ring joint winding machine 30 and the steel ring wrapping and rubberizing machine 40 and can reciprocate between the steel ring joint winding machine 30 and the steel ring wrapping and rubberizing machine 40 to grasp the steel ring with the joint wound by the steel ring joint winding machine 30 onto the steel ring wrapping and rubberizing machine 40; the third gripper 64 is arranged between the steel ring wrapping and rubberizing machine 40 and the storage member 51 and can reciprocate between the steel ring wrapping and rubberizing machine 40 and the storage member 51 to grasp the steel ring wrapped or rubberized by the steel ring wrapping and rubberizing machine 40 onto the storage member 51. In this way, the original three processes are integrated into a set of linkage devices without manual operation. The three steel ring grippers move independently of each other, and their specific movement times, movement trajectories, etc. can be set accordingly according to actual needs. Since interference may occur between the first gripper 62 and the second gripper 63 at the position of the steel ring joint winding machine 30, it is necessary to stagger the time of the two at the steel ring joint winding machine 30 to avoid interference. Similarly, the time of the second gripper 63 and the third gripper 64 at the steel ring wrapping and rubberizing machine 40 also needs to be staggered.

[0049] The steel ring gripper of this embodiment is vertically arranged as a whole, and specifically includes a driving part, a rotating part, and multiple gripping parts. The rotating part is rotatably connected to the driving part, and the driving part provides power for the rotation of the rotating part, so that the rotating part can rotate under the drive of the driving part; each gripping part is connected to the rotating part. In this way, when the rotating part rotates under the drive of the driving part, the rotating part can drive the gripping parts thereon to rotate, thereby changing the gripping parts for gripping the steel rings, enabling each gripping part to grip the steel rings on the same device in batches, realizing the simultaneous transportation of multiple steel rings, and further improving the processing efficiency of the steel rings.

[0050] Optionally, the rotating part of this embodiment is in the shape of a cylinder and is arranged vertically. The rotation axis of the rotating part is the geometric axis and extends vertically. The gripping parts are arranged at the bottom of the rotating part and are circumferentially symmetric along the rotation axis of the rotating part. In this way, when the rotating part rotates, the gripping parts facing the corresponding device can be changed, so as to realize that each gripping part grips the steel rings respectively.

[0051] In this embodiment, the steel ring winding machine 20, the steel ring joint winding machine 30, the steel ring cloth wrapping and rubber coating machine 40, and the lifting and transferring device 50 are arranged in a straight line. The truss 61 has a horizontal first slide rail 611, and the first slide rail 611 extends along the arrangement direction of the steel ring winding machine 20, the steel ring joint winding machine 30, the steel ring cloth wrapping and rubber coating machine 40, and the storage part 51. In addition to being able to move up and down, the steel ring gripper can also slide along the extension direction of the first slide rail 611. Specifically, the first gripper 62, the second gripper 63, and the third gripper 64 move along different segments of the first slide rail 611 respectively, so that the first gripper 62, the second gripper 63, and the third gripper 64 grip steel rings with different processing degrees respectively.

[0052] Optionally, the truss 61 of this embodiment further has a horizontal second slide rail 612. The second slide rail 612 is slidably arranged on the first slide rail 611 and can slide along the extension direction of the first slide rail 611. An included angle is formed between the extension directions of the second slide rail 612 and the first slide rail 611. The steel ring gripper is directly arranged on the second slide rail 612, and the second slide rail 612 is directly arranged on the first slide rail 611. In this way, by operating the position of the steel ring gripper on the second slide rail 612, the position of the steel ring gripper relative to the steel ring to be gripped can be adjusted to realize the gripping of the steel ring. After the gripping is completed, by operating the position of the second slide rail 612 on the first slide rail 611, the movement of the steel ring gripper among the steel ring winding machine 20, the steel ring joint winding machine 30, the steel ring cloth wrapping and rubber coating machine 40, and the lifting and transferring device 50 can be adjusted to realize the transportation of the steel ring.

[0053] The steel ring winding machine 20 and the steel ring joint winding machine 30 in this embodiment are both provided with one working station, and the steel ring wrapping and rubberizing machine 40 is provided with two wrapping and rubberizing working stations. This is because the processing speeds of the steel ring winding machine 20 and the steel ring joint winding machine 30 are relatively fast, while the speed of the steel ring wrapping and rubberizing machine 40 for rubberizing or wrapping is relatively slow. In this way, the processing time of each device can be fully utilized, the time of the device being idle can be reduced, and the processing efficiency can be improved. Based on the above setting method, the first gripper 62 in this embodiment is provided with one gripping part, and the second gripper 63 and the third gripper 64 are both provided with two gripping parts. The two wrapping and rubberizing working stations of the steel ring wrapping and rubberizing machine 40 in this embodiment are respectively located on the opposite sides of the steel ring gripper. By operating the position of the steel ring gripper on the second slide rail 612, the position of the steel ring gripper can be adjusted to switch between the two wrapping and rubberizing working stations, and when the gripping part of the second gripper 63 grips the steel ring on the steel ring joint winding machine 30, it can rotate 180 degrees around the rotating part. Of course, in addition to the above setting method, the number of corresponding working stations of each device and the number of gripping parts on the steel ring gripper can also be increased or decreased according to the actual situation, so as to fully utilize the processing time, achieve continuous operation, and improve the processing efficiency and automation degree.

[0054] In this embodiment, the truss 61 has a portal structure. The first slide rail 611 and the second slide rail 612 are both arranged at the top of the portal structure, and they are perpendicular to each other. In this way, the steel ring gripper can be adjusted to any position inside the truss 61 through the first slide rail 611 and the second slide rail 612. The first slide rail 611 and the second slide rail 612 in this embodiment both adopt the way of chain sliding and are adjusted by setting a motor drive. Of course, other ways can also be used to achieve sliding.

[0055] The storage part 51 in this embodiment is arranged in the shape of a small cart, and a plurality of card slots are formed on it by vertically arranged partitions. When the third gripper 64 descends, two steel rings can be respectively placed in the two card slots, so as to realize the storage of the steel rings. And the distance between the two gripping parts on the third gripper 64 is equal to the distance between two adjacent card slots on the storage part 51. In this way, when the third gripper 64 places the steel rings, the two steel rings can be placed on two adjacent card slots, which is beneficial to the regular storage of the steel rings.

[0056] As Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the lifting and moving device 50 also includes a first translation mechanism 52 and a second translation mechanism 53, the first translation mechanism 52 is located at the bottom of the storage member 51, and can undertake the storage member 51 or separate from the storage member 51 to drive or not drive the storage member 51 to move in the first direction; the second translation mechanism 53 can be raised and lowered, and when the second translation mechanism 53 lifts the storage member 51, the storage member 51 is separated from the first translation mechanism 52 and undertaken on the second translation mechanism 53, at this time the second translation mechanism 53 can drive the storage member 51 to move in the second direction; and when the second translation mechanism 53 lowers the storage member 51, the storage member 51 descends and undertakes on the first translation mechanism 52 and separates from the second translation mechanism 53, at this time the first translation mechanism 52 can drive the storage member 51 to move in the first direction. Through the above-mentioned setting method, the storage member 51 can be switched back and forth between the first translation mechanism 52 and the second translation mechanism 53, thereby changing the movement direction of the storage member 51. Furthermore, the above arrangement does not require a storage area, thus saving plant resources, and on the other hand, the storage parts 51 can be automatically transported without manual intervention.

[0057] The first translation mechanism 52 and the second translation mechanism 53 are multiple, and are alternately connected successively between each first translation mechanism 52 and each second translation mechanism 53, and form an annular track line.Like this, cooperate above-mentioned material storage part 51 to drive the switching of the first translation mechanism 52 and the second translation mechanism 53 so that material storage part 51 can be moved on the annular track line.And the annular track line has a plurality of material storage stations, material storage part 51 can switch between each material storage station along the annular track line motion, also just place the position of steel ring for steel ring grabbing transport device 60 or switch between the position of automatically feeding steel ring device 70 clamping steel rings, realize temporary storage and the transshipment of steel ring. At the same time, multiple storage pieces 51 are also provided. In this embodiment, the circular track line is set into a U-shape. The storage pieces 51 can be provided with two, four, six or other numbers as needed. When one of the storage pieces 51 is full, it can be transported to the subsequent automatic steel ring supply device 70, and the automatic steel ring supply device 70 grabs the steel ring for loading operation, and the subsequent adjacent empty storage piece 51 can take over and continue to supply the steel ring to the steel ring grabbing and transporting device 60 to store the steel ring, and the cycle is repeated.

[0058] In this embodiment, part of the trajectory line of the first translation mechanism 52 overlaps with part of the trajectory line of the second translation mechanism 53. In this embodiment, the end of the first translation mechanism 52 overlaps longitudinally with the end of the second translation mechanism 53. In this way, when the storage piece 51 moves to the end of the first translation mechanism 52, the second translation mechanism 53 rises to switch the storage piece 51 to cooperate with the second translation mechanism 53.

[0059] Of course, factors such as the extending directions and intersection positions of the above-mentioned first translation mechanism 52 and second translation mechanism 53 can also be changed accordingly according to actual needs, as long as the corresponding effects can be achieved.

[0060] In this embodiment, the first translation mechanism 52 adopts a chain drive method, which includes a first driving member and a transmission chain 521. The transmission chain 521 is drivingly connected to the first driving member. The bottom of the storage member 51 can abut against the transmission chain 521 and move along the first direction under the drive of the transmission chain 521.

[0061] The second translation mechanism 53 adopts a roller drive method, which includes a second driving member, a lifting assembly 531 and a roller 532. The lifting assembly 531 is drivingly connected to the second driving member and can change its shape under the drive of the second driving member, so as to rise or fall and change its height. The roller 532 is rotatably connected to the top of the lifting assembly 531 and can rise or fall under the drive of the lifting assembly 531. The bottom end of the storage member 51 can abut against the roller 532, and the rotation of the roller 532 drives the storage member 51 to move along the second direction.

[0062] The lifting assembly 531 of this embodiment includes a plurality of link rods hinged to each other. The link rods form an X-shaped structure. Components such as a connecting plate can be provided at the top of the X-shaped structure. The roller 532 is provided at the top end of the lifting assembly 531. By driving the link rods to rotate, the X-shaped structure can be longitudinally elongated or shortened to realize the lifting of the roller 532.

[0063] For the first driving member, the second driving member and other driving components of the first translation mechanism 52 and the second translation mechanism 53 in this embodiment, they can be uniformly driven by the same driving member or independently driven by multiple driving members according to the situation. And the specific structures of the first translation mechanism 52 and the second translation mechanism 53 can also be changed accordingly according to needs.

[0064] As Figures 6 to 8 shown, the steel ring picking device 71 has a steel ring gripper 711 that can move along the third direction in the transverse direction. The steel ring gripper 711 can pick up and transport the steel ring placed on the storage member 51. The steel ring feeding device 72 includes a fixed disk 721 that can move along the fourth direction in the transverse direction and a fixing member provided on the fixed disk 721. The steel ring gripper 711 picks up the steel ring on the storage member 51 and places the picked steel ring on the fixed disk 721. The fixing member fixes the steel ring on the fixed disk 721 in a predetermined manner, so that the steel ring can be placed as required, improving the installation accuracy.

[0065] The third direction and the fourth direction in this embodiment are perpendicular to each other. In this way, the longitudinal direction, the third direction, and the fourth direction form a three-dimensional rectangular coordinate system, enabling the steel ring gripper 711 to move to any position. It should be noted that there is no specific relationship between the first direction and the second direction and the third direction and the fourth direction in this embodiment. They can be the same direction or different directions.

[0072] Specifically, the extruder 11 of this embodiment is used to extrude the rubber material to form a rubber strip. The formed rubber strip enters the runner and die structure 12 and enters the cutting device 13 under the transportation of the runner and die structure 12. As Figure 9As shown in the figure, the cutting device 13 of this embodiment includes a conveyor belt 131, an arc roller path 132, a rubber strip pressing roller 133, and a cutting mechanism 134.

The three all move synchronously with the upper bracket 84. During pre-processing adjustment or after processing is completed, the position of the upper bracket 84 on the lower base 83 can be changed as needed, so as to change the position of the tensioning mechanism 81, facilitating the installation of the steel ring and the triangular rubber onto the tensioning mechanism 81 or the placement of the triangular rubber bead onto the logistics device 90, etc.

By using the above processing method, in combination with the aforementioned tire apex rubber bead forming system, the entire process of apex rubber bead automated processing can be achieved, thereby realizing the overall automation and unmanned operation of the tire apex rubber bead forming system, improving the degree of automation, reducing manual labor intensity, and improving overall processing efficiency.

[0080] The tire apex rubber bead forming method of this embodiment can be divided into multiple parts. For example, the process of processing the steel wire into the steel ring and placing it on the storage member 51 for transportation is the steel ring cloth storage method corresponding to the steel ring cloth storage system; Figure 13 As shown, the process of placing the steel ring from the material storage part 51 onto the steel ring loading device 72 is the automatic steel ring feeding method corresponding to the automatic steel ring feeding device 70, and so on.

[0081] The following is the storage method of steel ring wrapping cloth:

[0082] In this embodiment, when the steel ring grabbing and transporting device 60 grabs the steel ring wound by the steel ring joint winding machine 30, the steel ring grabbing and transporting device 60 grabs multiple steel rings wound by the steel ring joint winding machine 30, and then transports the multiple steel rings to the steel ring cloth and glue wrapping machine 40, and each steel ring is placed on a cloth and glue wrapping station for processing.

[0083] When the steel ring grasping and transporting device 60 grasps and transports the steel ring wound by the steel ring winding machine 20, the first gripper 62 adjusts its position along the second slide rail 612. The steel ring winding machine 20 releases the steel ring. The first gripper 62 descends to grasp the steel ring, then ascends, and translates along the first slide rail 611 to above the steel ring joint winding machine 30, and then descends to the steel ring joint winding machine 30, releases the steel ring and places the steel ring on the steel ring joint winding machine 30, then ascends, and translates in the reverse direction to the steel ring winding machine 20 to grasp the next steel ring, and so on;

[0084] When the steel ring grasping and transporting device 60 grasps and transports the steel ring wound by the steel ring joint winding machine 30, the second gripper 63 adjusts its position along the second slide rail 612. The second gripper 63 descends to grasp the steel ring, then ascends, and translates along the first slide rail 611 to above the steel ring covering and rubberizing machine 40, and then descends to the steel ring covering and rubberizing machine 40, releases the steel ring and places the steel ring on the steel ring covering and rubberizing machine 40, then ascends, and translates in the reverse direction to the steel ring joint winding machine 30 to grasp the next steel ring, and so on; Since the steel ring covering and rubberizing machine 40 has two covering and rubberizing workstations, when the second gripper 63 releases and places the steel ring on the steel ring covering and rubberizing machine 40, first place one steel ring on one covering and rubberizing workstation, and then adjust the position of the second gripper 63 along the second slide rail 612, then the other steel ring can be placed on the other covering and rubberizing workstation;

[0085] When the steel ring grasping and transporting device 60 grasps and transports the steel ring after covering or rubberizing by the steel ring covering and rubberizing machine 40, the third gripper 64 adjusts its position along the second slide rail 612. The third gripper 64 descends to grasp the steel ring, then ascends, and translates along the first slide rail 611 to above the storage member 51, and then descends to the storage member 51, releases the steel ring and places the steel ring on the storage member 51, then ascends, and translates in the reverse direction to the steel ring covering and rubberizing machine 40 to grasp the next steel ring, and so on. Similar to the second gripper 63, when the third gripper 64 grasps the steel rings on the two covering and rubberizing workstations, operate the third gripper 64 to move along the second slide rail 612.

[0086] When the number of steel rings stored in a storage member 51 reaches the upper limit, the storage member 51 changes the storage workstations along the annular track line, and another storage member 51 moves to the storage workstation that cooperates with the steel ring grasping and transporting device 60; when the storage member 51 changes the storage workstations, the storage member 51 switches between the first translation mechanism 52 and the second translation mechanism 53, and the first translation mechanism 52 or the second translation mechanism 53 receives the storage member 51 and drives the storage member 51 to move along the first direction or the second direction to other storage workstations.

[0087] Specifically, when switching between the first translation mechanism 52 and the second translation mechanism 53, when the storage member 51 is switched from the first translation mechanism 52 to the second translation mechanism 53, the second translation mechanism 53 rises, the second translation mechanism 53 receives the storage member 51, the storage member 51 rises and separates from the first translation mechanism 52; when the storage member 51 is switched from the second translation mechanism 53 to the first translation mechanism 52, the second translation mechanism 53 descends, the second translation mechanism 53 separates from the storage member 51, the storage member 51 descends, and the first translation mechanism 52 receives the storage member 51.

[0088] Through the above method of storing the steel ring wrapper, the automatic processing, transportation, and storage of the steel ring can be achieved.

[0089] The following part is the method of automatically supplying steel rings:

[0090] When the automatic steel ring supply device 70 operates, when the storage member 51 moves into place, the locking device 73 docks with the storage member 51 and locks the position of the storage member 51; then the steel ring gripper 711 of the steel ring picking device 71 moves above the storage member 51 and grabs the steel ring placed on the storage member 51; the steel ring gripper 711 moves along the third direction in the horizontal direction to above the fixed disk 721 of the steel ring loading device 72 and places the steel ring on the fixed disk 721; the steel ring placed on the fixed disk 721 is fixed on the fixed disk 721 under the action of the fixing member on the fixed disk 721; the fixed disk 721 moves along the fourth direction in the horizontal direction and transports the steel ring to the fitting disk device 80.

[0091] When the steel ring gripper 711 grabs the steel ring placed on the storage member 51, the steel ring gripper 711 moves downward along the longitudinal slide rail 713 and grabs the steel ring, and then the steel ring gripper 711 moves upward to take the steel ring out of the card slot of the storage member 51. Then the steel ring gripper 711 can move and adjust its position along the third slide rail 714 and the fourth slide rail 715 as needed, so as to place the steel ring on the fixed disk 721.

[0092] Before installing the steel ring on the fixed disk 721, each gripper 725 is in the direction of being close to each other. When the steel ring is placed on the fixed disk 721, the magnet 726 magnetically attracts the steel ring and magnetically attracts the steel ring on the fixed disk 721. Due to the action of the magnet 726, the steel ring remains vertical, ensuring accurate installation. Then each gripper 725 moves in the direction away from each other and clamps and fixes the steel ring from the inside of the steel ring. After completion, the entire connecting frame 724 moves along the loading slide rail 723 of the loading frame 722, and the steel ring can be transported to the fitting drum device 14.

[0093] Through the above method of automatically supplying steel rings, the automatic feeding of steel rings can be achieved.

[0094] In addition, the tire bead filler bead forming method further includes the following parts:

[0095] When producing the bead filler in the bead filler production system 10, the extruder 11 extrudes the rubber compound to form a strip-shaped rubber strip; the rubber strip extruded by the extruder 11 enters the runner and die structure 12, and is transported in the runner and die structure 12 to the cutting device 13; the cutting device 13 cuts the rubber strip transported by the runner and die structure 12 into a predetermined length, and transports it to the fitting drum device 14; the fitting drum device 14 processes the cut rubber strip into a ring-shaped bead filler, and transports it to the fitting disc device 80.

[0096] Specifically, when the cutting device 13 cuts the rubber strip, the rubber strip moves onto the conveyor belt 131 under the guidance of the arc-shaped roller path 132, and the conveyor belt 131 drives the rubber strip to move together. When the rubber strip moves a predetermined length, the cutting mechanism 134 operates to cut the rubber strip. The cut rubber strip continues to move with the conveyor belt 131, and moves to the fitting drum device 14 under the stop of the rubber strip pressure roller 133. When the fitting drum device 14 processes the rubber strip, each forming drum blade 141 moves radially, and changes the formed ring structure to a predetermined size. The rubber strip is wound around the outside of the ring structure, and the suction nozzle 142 adsorbs the rubber strip onto the ring structure. The sewing pressure roller of the sewing mechanism 143 presses down to process the rubber strip into a ring-shaped bead filler.

[0097] The processed steel ring and bead filler are both transported to the fitting disc device 80 for processing. When the fitting disc device 80 processes the bead of the bead filler, the steel ring is placed on the tensioning mechanism 81. The tensioning mechanism 81 expands radially and supports the steel ring from the inside of the steel ring. The bead filler is attached to the outside of the steel ring. The rotating mechanism drives the tensioning mechanism 81 to rotate, and the edge sealing mechanism 82 processes the bead filler and the steel ring into a bead of the tire. The processed bead of the tire is placed on the logistics device 90 by means of a robotic arm or the like. And when placing the processed bead of the tire, it is placed in the way of one layer of bead of the tire and one layer of backing plate.
