Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of tire mold technology, and in particular to a tire mold with quickly detachable tread blocks. Background Technology

[0002] Tire tread patterns, also known as tire tread designs, primarily improve tire performance and enhance its appearance. They are generally molded or etched onto the convex portion of the tire tread, and their main function is to improve tire performance.

[0003] Application No. 201621221704.2 discloses a tire mold with quickly detachable tread blocks, including an upper mold body, a lower mold body, and a tread block body. The upper mold body is provided with a first positioning block, and the lower mold body is provided with a second positioning block. At least one set of positioning holes is provided along the circumferential direction inside both the upper and lower mold bodies, and a first strong magnet is placed inside each positioning hole. The tread block body is provided with a magnet mounting block, and a second strong magnet is placed on each magnet mounting block. The tire mold with quickly detachable tread blocks provided by this utility model allows the tread blocks to be connected to the mold body by the attraction of magnets. When the tire is demolded, the tread blocks separate from the mold body and are removed along with the tire. During mold assembly, the tread blocks are removed from the tire, cleaned, and then quickly attracted and assembled back to the mold body. The tread blocks are detachable and replaceable, and the mold pattern can be easily changed without altering the mold body, reducing tire and mold development costs.

[0004] Existing molds have poor fixing effect when fixing tread blocks. During injection molding, the magnetic attraction is not strong enough, which can cause the blocks to fall off. They can also become misaligned, affecting the quality of the tire. Summary of the Invention
