Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of tire manufacturing, and in particular provides a tire tread laminating bubble inspection and repair system. Background Art
[0002] Tires are an important part of vehicles, carrying loads, transmitting traction and braking force, so the quality of tires will directly affect the safe driving of vehicles. Especially for passenger car tires, due to their high speed level, if the tires are damaged during high-speed driving, serious traffic accidents will occur.
[0003] During the production process of passenger car tires, the problem of tread bubbles often occurs. This is caused by the design characteristics of the passenger car tires themselves. In order to reduce the degree of shoulder wear of passenger car tires and to increase the drainage performance, the design of passenger car tires follows the characteristics of small saturation of the middle pattern and large saturation of the shoulder pattern. The rigidity of the pattern block increases from the middle to the shoulder. Therefore, less rubber is required in the middle of the crown, and more rubber is required to fill the shoulder. This results in the tread being thin in the middle and thick in the shoulder. During molding, the tread roller only rolls to the thicker shoulder of the tread, and cannot roll to the thinner middle part of the tread, resulting in the air between the middle part of the tread and the crown layer cannot be discharged. When the tire embryo is vulcanized, the air gathers to form tread bubbles. The crown is the only contact surface between the tire and the ground. Under greater pressure and shear force, the tread bubble area will gradually delaminate, posing a greater safety hazard.
[0004] In order to remove the lamination bubble, a pressing roller with a large middle diameter and small diameters at both ends is usually used to press the tread again. However, tires vary in size, and even tires of the same specification have different lamination bubble generation conditions, resulting in the roller size not being adaptable. Different pressing rollers need to be replaced in different situations, and multiple pressing rollers need to be prepared, wasting resources. Summary of the invention

[0050] The central control module is also electrically connected to the first motor 3 and the second motor 17 .
[0051] The steps include:
[0052] A1. Obtain the tread profile, including the tire green diameter d, the tread center width a, and the shoulder height difference h, through the laser detection module, and adjust the position of the first rolling mechanism through the first lifting mechanism so that the side roller 12 contacts the tread;

[0055] A3. Start the first motor and preset the first motor speed S i The position of the center roller 11 is adjusted by the third lifting mechanism so that the center roller 11 contacts the tread, and then the displacement W of the center roller 11 is preset. 中 and step size B 中 ;
[0056] A4, start the second motor 17, preset the total displacement X of the rear roller 13 in the horizontal direction 后 and displacement step F 后 .
[0057] The step amount mentioned above is the displacement of the center roller 11 in the vertical direction, or the displacement of the rear roller 13 in the horizontal or vertical direction when the rotating ring 2 rotates one circle or the rotating ring 2 rotates one processing cycle (may be 2 circles or 3 circles).

[0060] As a further explanation of this embodiment, in step A4, the total displacement X of the rear roller 13 in the horizontal direction is 后 =(at / 2), t is the distance between the contact points of the two rear rollers and the tread.
[0061] As a further explanation of this embodiment, a visual detection module is also included, and the visual detection module is electrically connected to the central control module, and the visual detection module includes:
[0062] An image acquisition unit capable of quickly acquiring image information on pressure-sensitive paper;
[0063] An image processing unit, which can perform pre-processing operations such as denoising and filtering on the collected images;
[0064] The analysis unit can use image processing algorithms to extract the characteristics of the color pattern on the pressure-sensitive paper, such as color depth, area size, distribution form, etc.
[0065] Also includes the following steps:
[0066] A5. Stick the pressure-sensitive paper on the tread surface along the tread width direction, and then roll the tread over the pressure-sensitive paper under a certain pressure;
[0067] A6. Use the visual inspection module to inspect the pressed pressure-sensitive paper, and adjust the vertical displacement of the rear roller 13 to Wi according to the depth Ci and density Mi of the red area in the middle. 后 , adjust the displacement of the center roller 11 to Wi 中 , adjust the displacement step amount Fi of the rear roller 13 in the horizontal direction 后 ;
[0068] A7. Obtain a vulcanized tire, and sample the vulcanized tire and cut the entire crown portion along the circumferential direction to check whether there are tread bubbles.
[0069] As a further explanation of this embodiment, in step A6, the displacement of the rear roller 13 in the vertical direction is adjusted as follows: Wi 后= W 后 *Ln, the displacement of the center roller 11 is adjusted as follows: Wi 中 =W 中 *Ln;
[0070] Specifically, n = 1, 2, 3 and L1 = 1 <L2<L3<1.1,
[0071] When C i When / C0≥0.95, Wi 后 =W 后 *L1, Wi 中 =W 中 *L1,
[0072] When 0.8 <C i When / C0<0.95, Wi 后 =W 后 *L2, Wi 中 =W 中 *L2, when C i / C0≤0.8, Wi 后 =W 后 *L3, Wi 中 =W 中 *L3;
[0073] C0 is the depth of the central red area obtained using pressure-sensitive paper in the absence of bubbles;
[0074] If the depth of the red area in the middle is not enough, it proves that the displacement of the center roller 11 and the rear roller 13 is not enough to remove all the lamination bubbles, so it is necessary to slightly increase the displacement of the center roller 11 and the rear roller 13 in the vertical direction.
[0075] The adjustment method of the rear roller 13 after the horizontal displacement step Fi is: 后 =F 后 *Nn;
[0076] Specifically, n=1,2,3 and N1=1>N2>N3>0.5,
[0077] When M i / M0≥0.95,Fi 后 =F 后 *N1, Fi 中 =F 中 *N1,

[0079] M0 is the density value of the middle red area obtained using pressure-sensitive paper in a bubble-free state.
[0080] Because if there is a problem with the density value of the central red area, it proves that the step amount of the rear roller 13 is too large, so it is necessary to set parameters to reduce the step amount of the rear roller 13.
[0081] The present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned specific implementation modes. Various changes made by ordinary technicians in this field based on the above-mentioned concepts without creative work are all within the protection scope of the present invention.
