Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of tire molds, in particular to a guide interlocking device for an active block of a tire mold. Background Art

[0002] Active tire molds are generally composed of 8-9 active block molds of the tread. In terms of the classification of parting surfaces, they are divided into two categories: straight parting surfaces and curved parting surfaces. Curved parting surfaces are further divided into whole-piece curved parting surfaces and multi-piece curved parting surfaces. The whole-piece curved parting surface mold is a large block composed of several pattern pitches, and then a set of tread molds is composed of 8-9 large blocks. The multi-piece curved parting surface is a large block that is first fixed by a single pitch block, similar to a large block in the whole-piece curved parting surface mold. The same method is used to make 8-9 pieces to form a complete set of molds.

[0003] Most of the tire molds currently produced use straight parting surface active molds (such as Figure 1 As shown in the figure, when the prior art is used for production, the mold combination is not absolutely stable during tire production. Due to the limited production conditions and the wear of the outer mold sleeve, the active blocks of the tire mold will be misaligned up and down, front and back, resulting in an uneven tread of the tire, affecting the tire performance and appearance, and the mold is also prone to wear, which further causes tire leakage.

[0004] Some mold production uses molds with curved parting surfaces (such as Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the concave and convex position of the mold parting surface is used to limit the up and down misalignment of the active block. However, since the mold body is used for positioning, the wear of the mold on the concave and convex inclined surface is inevitable, and the wear speed is much faster than the wear on the straight surface. During tire production, it will soon cause the tire to leak glue on the inclined dividing surface. In addition, due to the irregular shape of the mold, the management cost and damage risk are greatly increased in terms of maintenance, storage, and assembly. Utility Model Content

[0005] To this end, an embodiment of the utility model provides a guide interlocking device for the active blocks of a tire mold to solve the problem in the prior art that when the straight parting surface active mold is used to produce tires, the mold is not absolutely stable when combined, and there will be up and down misalignment and front and back misalignment between the active blocks of the tire mold, which will cause the tread of the produced tire to be uneven, affecting the tire performance and appearance, and the mold is also prone to wear, which will further cause the tire to leak glue.

[0006] In order to achieve the above purpose, the embodiment of the utility model provides the following technical solutions:

[0007] A flexible block guide interlocking device for a tire mold, comprising:

[0008] A plurality of pattern blocks, wherein the pattern blocks are arc-shaped structures, and the plurality of pattern blocks are connected end to end to form a circular structure, and a limiting groove is provided on the end surface of one side where two adjacent pattern blocks are spliced, and the two limiting grooves are symmetrically arranged;

[0009] A limiting seat, the shape of the shell of the limiting seat is adapted to the shape of the limiting groove, and the limiting seat is arranged in the limiting groove of one end surface of the pattern block;

[0010] A guide block, wherein the guide block comprises a limit block and a limit protrusion, the limit protrusion is fixedly connected to the limit block, and the shape of the limit block is adapted to the shape of the limit groove, and the shape of the limit protrusion is adapted to the shape of the inner groove of the limit seat;

[0011] Two adjacent pattern blocks are connected in a limiting manner through a limiting seat and a guide block.

[0012] Optionally, at least one limiting groove is formed on each end surface of the pattern block.

[0013] Optionally, when one limiting groove is provided, the limiting groove is provided in the middle of the end surface of the pattern block.

[0014] Optionally, when two limiting grooves are provided, the two limiting grooves are symmetrically arranged on the end surface of the pattern block.

[0015] Optionally, the limiting block and the limiting protrusion are integrally arranged.

[0016] The utility model has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0017] The utility model provides limiting grooves on two adjacent tread blocks, wherein a limiting seat is provided in one of the limiting grooves, and a guide block is provided in the other limiting groove, and the limiting protrusion of the guide block is matched with the inner ring of the limiting seat. When two adjacent tread blocks are spliced, the limiting seat is connected by the guide block to limit the two tread blocks, so that they cannot be misaligned in the radial direction and axial direction of the annular mold, thereby ensuring the flatness of the produced tire. At the same time, the friction between the two adjacent tread blocks is borne by the guide block and the limiting seat, thereby reducing the wear of the mold body and increasing the service life of the mold.

[0035] like Figure 3-Figure 10 As shown, a tire mold active block guide interlocking device disclosed in the utility model includes:

[0036] A plurality of pattern blocks 1, wherein the pattern blocks 1 are arc-shaped structures, and the plurality of pattern blocks 1 are connected end to end to form a circular structure, and a limiting groove 2 is provided on the end surface of the joint side of two adjacent pattern blocks 1, and the two limiting grooves 2 are symmetrically arranged;

[0037] A limiting seat 3, the outer shell shape of the limiting seat 3 is adapted to the shape of the limiting groove 2, and the limiting seat 3 is arranged in the limiting groove 2 on one end surface of the pattern block 1;

[0038] The guide block 4 includes a limit block 41 and a limit protrusion 42, the limit protrusion 42 is fixedly connected to the limit block 41, and the shape of the limit block 41 is adapted to the shape of the limit groove 2, and the shape of the limit protrusion 42 is adapted to the shape of the inner groove of the limit seat 3;

[0039] Two adjacent pattern blocks 1 are connected in a limiting manner through a limiting seat 3 and a guide block 4 .

[0040] The above-mentioned pattern block 1 can adopt an active mold with a straight parting surface or a curved parting surface, and a limiting groove 2 is provided on the spliced ​​end surface thereof. The specific shape of the limiting groove 2 is set according to actual needs, and is generally set to a regular shape. In this embodiment, it is a rectangular groove; the outer ring size and shape of the limiting seat 3 are adapted to the limiting groove 2, so that the limiting seat 3 can transitionally match with the limiting groove 2; the guide block 4 is composed of a limiting block 41 and a limiting protrusion 42, which are fixed together, the shape and size of the limiting block 41 are adapted to the limiting groove 2, the limiting block 41 can transitionally match with the limiting groove 2, the shape and size of the limiting protrusion 42 are adapted to the inner ring of the limiting seat 3, and the limiting protrusion 42 can transitionally match with the limiting seat 3;

[0041] The arrangement of the limiting seat 3, the limiting protrusion 42 and the limiting block 41 is such that when two adjacent pattern blocks 1 are spliced, the limiting seat 3 and the limiting block 41 are placed in the limiting groove 2, and the limiting protrusion 42 is inserted into the limiting seat 3, and the connection between the limiting seat 3 and the limiting groove 2, between the limiting protrusion 42 and the limiting groove 2, and between the limiting protrusion 42 and the limiting seat 3 are all tightly fitted, so that after a number of pattern blocks 1 are spliced ​​into a circle, the pattern block 1 is limited by the limiting block 41 and the limiting seat 3 to prevent it from being misaligned in the axial and radial directions of the annular active mold;

[0042] by Figure 3 For example: radial misalignment refers to up-and-down misalignment, and axial misalignment refers to front-and-back misalignment.
