Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of tire vulcanization equipment, and in particular to a two-station new energy vulcanization system capable of performing series or parallel vulcanization operations and its uses. Background Art

[0002] When the applicant was continuously conducting in-depth research and development on a new energy vulcanization system using pure nitrogen as the vulcanization medium, it was found that for a two-station vulcanization system, when the vulcanization media of the two vulcanization stations are connected in series (i.e., the vulcanization medium circulates between the two vulcanization stations) for vulcanization operations, and when the vulcanization media of the two vulcanization stations are connected in parallel (i.e., the vulcanization medium only circulates within its respective vulcanization station) to enable the vulcanization media of each vulcanization station to perform vulcanization operations of their respective vulcanization stations independently, the series and parallel vulcanization modes of the vulcanization medium of the two-station vulcanization system each have advantages. This is mainly reflected in: when the vulcanization media of the two-station vulcanization system are connected in series, since the high-temperature nitrogen in the circulating vulcanization pipeline is not shunted, the temperature rise is faster; when the vulcanization media of the two-station vulcanization system are connected in parallel, since the pressure of the two vulcanization stations can be controlled separately, the pressure difference between the two vulcanization stations can be controlled within a small range, so the pressure control within the two vulcanization stations is more accurate and stable.

[0003] In addition, according to the market feedback information, some customers prefer the two-station vulcanization system in series mode, while some customers value the two-station vulcanization system in parallel mode more. However, at present, no tire vulcanization system using pure nitrogen as the vulcanization medium that can achieve free switching between series and parallel of the vulcanization medium has been found.

When the balance valve F1A, the seventh switching valve V7, the first switching valve V1, the second switching valve V2, the fifth switching valve V5, and the thirteenth switching valve V13 are in the air guiding state and other switching valves are disconnected.
