[0022] Hereinafter, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0023] Refer to the attached Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the present invention discloses a group control type tire vulcanizing center 1, which includes a frame body 10, a plurality of vulcanizing machines 20 arranged below the frame body 10. The vulcanizing machines 20 include an upper mold 21 and a lower mold 22; a mold opening and closing mechanism 30 arranged on the frame body 10 and movable along the frame body. Among them, the frame body 10 is provided with a first engaging component, the upper mold 21 is provided with a second engaging component and a third engaging component, and the mold opening and closing mechanism 30 is provided with a fourth engaging component. The first engaging component and the second engaging component of the present invention can cooperate to fix the upper mold 21 at a certain position on the frame body 10; the third engaging component and the fourth engaging component can cooperate to fixedly connect the upper mold 21 of a certain vulcanizing machine 20 with the mold opening and closing mechanism 30 and drive the upper mold 21 to move up and down to realize the mold opening and closing actions. After the mold opening or closing action is completed, the mold opening and closing mechanism 30 can continue to perform the mold opening and closing actions of other vulcanizing machines 20.

[0024] It can be seen that through the above configuration structure, when the vulcanizing machine at a certain working station needs to open the mold in the present invention, the mold opening and closing mechanism 30 moves to this working station, and the upper mold 21 is moved upward to a predetermined engaging position by the cooperation of the third engaging component and the fourth engaging component, and then the upper mold 21 is fixed at this position by the cooperation of the first engaging component and the second engaging component. At this time, during the period when the vulcanizing machine at this working station is loading the green tire to be vulcanized and shaping the green tire, the mold opening and closing mechanism 30 can move to other vulcanizing working stations and perform the mold opening or closing actions on the vulcanizing machines at other working stations. Therefore, the above configuration structure of the present invention can reduce the waiting time of the mold opening and closing mechanism 30 at each vulcanizing working station, further improve the working efficiency of the mold opening and closing mechanism 30, and thus overall improve the vulcanizing efficiency of the tire.

[0025] Optionally, the frame 10 of the present invention includes a plurality of longitudinal brackets 11, a transverse bracket 12 disposed on the longitudinal brackets 11, and a plurality of vulcanizing stations (A, B, C, D) for placing the vulcanizer 20 divided by the longitudinal brackets 11 and the transverse bracket 12. This configuration structure arranges a plurality of vulcanizers in a linear arrangement mode.

[0026] Optionally, the frame 10 of the present invention includes a plurality of longitudinal brackets 11, an annular bracket (not shown) disposed on the longitudinal brackets 11, and a plurality of vulcanizing stations for placing the vulcanizer 20 divided by the longitudinal brackets 11 and the annular bracket. This configuration structure arranges a plurality of vulcanizers in a circular arrangement mode.

[0027] In the present invention, only the example of arranging a plurality of vulcanizers in a linear arrangement mode is used for illustration.

[0028] Specifically, in this embodiment, a slide rail 121 (above the transverse bracket 12) and a rack 122 (on the side of the transverse bracket 12) are provided on the transverse bracket 12; the mold opening and closing mechanism 30 includes a suspension bracket 301, a first driving source 302, and a suspension plate 303 (the suspension plate is in a shape of a capital letter "J"); a second driving source 3011 and a slider 3012 are provided on the suspension bracket 301, and a gear 3013 is provided at the driving end of the second driving source 3011; the fourth engaging component is disposed on the suspension plate 303; the first driving source 302 is disposed on the suspension bracket 301 and the driving end 3021 of the first driving source 302 is fixedly connected to the suspension plate 303.

[0029] Among them, the first engaging component in this embodiment is set as a first pin hole 13 and is disposed on the upper part of the longitudinal bracket 11; the second engaging component of the vulcanizer corresponding to the first engaging component includes a fourth driving source 211 and a first fixing pin 212 connected to the driving end of the fourth driving source 211. When it is necessary to fix the upper mold 21 at this position after mold opening, the first fixing pin 212 can be engaged and fixed with the first pin hole 13 under the drive of the fourth driving source 211.

[0030] In addition, the third engaging component in this embodiment includes a transition seat 213 provided on the upper mold 21, and the transition seat 213 is provided with a second pin hole 2131; the fourth engaging component includes a third driving source 304 and a second fixing pin 305 connected to the driving end of the third driving source 304. The second fixing pin 305 on the mold opening and closing mechanism 30 can be engaged and fixed with the second pin hole 2131 on any vulcanizer to realize the function of fixedly connecting the mold opening and closing mechanism 30 with any upper mold 21.

[0031] The specific working principle of the present invention is described as follows. As shown in the attached Figure 1 As shown in the attached Figure 4As shown in the figure, a plurality of vulcanizers 20 of the present invention are set as N vulcanizer groups X, such as vulcanizer group X1 to vulcanizer group XN, where N is a natural number greater than or equal to 1. Hereinafter, only the case where N is 1 is taken as an example for illustration. The X1 vulcanizer group includes two double-mode vulcanizers in groups A and B, that is, the vulcanizer 20 at the S1 station and the vulcanizer 20 at the S2 station are the double-mode vulcanizers in group A, and the vulcanizer 20 at the S3 station and the vulcanizer 20 at the S4 station are the double-mode vulcanizers in group B. A control device 40 (such as an electrical cabinet) that issues control instructions to the mold opening and closing mechanism 30 is provided between the double-mode vulcanizers in group A and the double-mode vulcanizers in group B. A tire loading mechanism 50 and a tire unloading mechanism 60 shared by the double-mode vulcanizers are provided on the longitudinal bracket 11 between the two vulcanizers in the double-mode vulcanizer (such as the vulcanizer 20 at the S1 station and the vulcanizer 20 at the S2 station or the vulcanizer 20 at the S3 station and the vulcanizer 20 at the S4 station). Specifically, the tire loading mechanism 50 can be arranged on the front side wall of the longitudinal bracket 11, and the tire unloading mechanism 60 can be arranged on the rear side wall of the longitudinal bracket 11, as shown in the attached Figure 4 figure. Therefore, when the tire loading mechanism 50 is loading a tire for the vulcanizer at the S1 station, the tire unloading mechanism 60 can unload the tire after vulcanization for the vulcanizer at the S2 station or perform the opposite action, further reducing the waiting time for tire loading and unloading of each vulcanizer, and thus improving the overall vulcanization efficiency.

[0032] As shown in the attached Figures 3 to 7 figure, when the vulcanizer 20 at the S2 station needs to open the mold and load the green tire to be vulcanized, first, the second driving source 3011 drives the gear 3013 to rotate relative to the rack 122 on the transverse bracket 12, and then drives the entire mold opening and closing mechanism 30 to move along the slide rail 121 on the transverse bracket 12 to the upper part of the vulcanizer 20 at the S2 station through the slider 3012. Under the drive of the first driving source 302, the hanging plate 303 moves downward to the second pin hole 2131 of the transition seat 213 in the corresponding upper mold 21. Then, the third driving source 304 drives the second fixing pin 305 to extend out to engage and fix with the second pin hole 2131, so that the upper mold 21 is fixedly connected to the hanging plate 303. Then, the first driving source 302 drives the hanging plate 303 to move upward to drive the upper mold 21 to move upward to a predetermined position (that is, the position where the first fixing pin 212 and the first pin hole 13 can be aligned). Then, the fourth driving source 211 drives the first fixing pin 212 to extend out to engage and fix with the first pin hole 13, so that the upper mold 21 at the S2 station maintains a fixed state (as shown in the attached Figure 3As shown at the S1 station in the figure, during the process of loading the green tire to be vulcanized and shaping the green tire by the tire loading mechanism 50 of the vulcanizer 20 at the S2 station, the mold opening and closing mechanism 30 can move to the vulcanizer at other vulcanization stations to open the mold (for example, move to the S4 vulcanization station to move the upper mold 21 of the vulcanizer 20 at this station upward and fix it to achieve mold opening) or close the mold (for example, move to the S3 vulcanization station to move the upper mold 21 of the vulcanizer 20 at this station downward to achieve mold closing) according to the instructions of the control device 40.

[0033] In addition, the vulcanizer in the present invention is preferably a new energy vulcanizer, and the vulcanization medium used is pure nitrogen or other inert gases with similar properties to pure nitrogen. Therefore, the N vulcanization units are connected to the same medium circulation pump (not shown) to achieve the circulation of nitrogen, thereby improving the circulation efficiency of the vulcanization medium and reducing costs. In addition, the N vulcanization units are also connected to the same hydraulic station (not shown) to achieve the functions of energy saving and cost reduction.

[0034] In summary, the present invention mainly improves the working efficiency of the mold opening and closing mechanism, the efficiency of tire loading and unloading, and further improves the working efficiency of green tire vulcanization by originally designing the mold opening and closing mechanism and the position and movement relationship with each engaging component.
