Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of mold transfer, in particular to a tire transfer device. Background Art

[0002] There are many ways to classify molds. The ones that were commonly used in the past are: classification by mold structure, such as single-process molds, compound dies, etc.; classification by use objects, such as automobile cover molds, motor molds, etc.; classification by the properties of processing materials, such as molds for metal products, molds for non-metallic products, etc.; classification by mold manufacturing materials, such as cemented carbide molds, etc.; classification by process properties, such as drawing dies, powder metallurgy dies, forging dies, etc.

[0003] Some of these classification methods cannot fully reflect the structure and forming process characteristics of various molds, as well as their use functions. For this reason, a comprehensive classification method based on the process properties and use objects of molds for forming processing is adopted to divide molds into ten categories: stamping molds (dies), plastic molding molds, die-casting molds, forging molds, metal molds for casting, powder metallurgy molds, glass molds, rubber molding molds, ceramic molds, and economic molds (simple molds). Each major category of molds can be divided into several subcategories or varieties according to mold structure, materials, use functions, and molding methods.

[0004] Tire mold processing has been increasingly widely used in recent years due to its fast speed and low cost. For some products with complex processes, multiple thermoforming or demolding operations are often required at different workstations, which requires frequent transfer of the molds. However, due to the different sizes of tire molds and the large size of some molds, during the transfer process, they are generally first hoisted onto a flatbed trolley by a crane or hoist, and then manually pushed to the designated workstation, and then hoisted to the designated workstation by a crane or hoist. This results in high labor intensity and low efficiency. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Those skilled in the art should know that the embodiments described below are part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0025] Any number of elements in the drawings is for illustration and not limitation, and any naming is for distinction only and does not have any limiting meaning.

[0026] The principle and spirit of the present invention are explained in detail below with reference to several representative embodiments of the present invention.

[0027] like Figure 1-3 As shown, a tire transport device includes a shell 10, a connecting portion 20 is provided on the top of the shell 10, the shell 10 is connected to an external mounting point through the connecting portion 20, two hanging portions 40 are provided on the shell 10 for hanging a wheel hub or other workpieces, and a mobile driving unit 30 is provided on the shell 10 for driving the two hanging portions 40 to move synchronously toward or oppositely, and the mobile driving unit 30 includes a gear rack assembly 31, a driving source 32 and a transmission device 33.

[0028] In this specific embodiment, the installation position of the hanging device is usually taken into consideration during the layout of the inter-factory equipment, because the hanging equipment is usually fixedly arranged, and the wheel hub transfer device has strong adaptability during use. Bolts, rivets and other fasteners can connect the connecting portion 20 with the installation points such as the equipment frame or the wall, so as to complete the installation of the equipment, which provides a certain convenience in the early installation and the subsequent replacement of the position of the wheel hub transfer device. Of course, according to the actual situation, the connecting portion 20 can also be fixedly connected to the installation point by welding, pouring and the like. When in use, the staff sets the shell 10 between the A processing area and the B processing area. When the tire mold is processed in the A processing area, the staff hangs the mold on the hanging portion 40 in the A processing area. At this time, under the control of the mobile drive unit 30, the hanging part 40 for hanging the tire mold is moved to the B processing area. At this time, the other hanging part 40 located in the B processing area is synchronously moved to the A processing area. The hanging parts 40 are respectively arranged on the transmission device 33, and the transmission device 33 is arranged on the gear rack assembly 31, so that when the driving source 32 controls the gear rack assembly 31 to move, the hanging part 40 moves synchronously with the transmission device 33, thereby solving the problem in the prior art that due to the different sizes of tire molds and the large volume of some molds, during the transportation process, they are generally first hoisted to a flatbed trolley by a crane or a hoist, and then manually pushed to a designated workstation, and then hoisted to the designated workstation by a crane or a hoist, resulting in high labor intensity and low efficiency for workers.

[0029] like Figure 1-3 As shown, specifically, the shell 10 includes an upper shell 11 and a lower shell 12 connected to the bottom of the upper shell 11 by bolts, and two rectangular grooves 121 are spaced apart at the bottom of the lower shell 12, and two slide rails 122 are respectively provided on the opposite side walls of the lower shell 12 and the rectangular grooves 121 that are laterally opposite to each other; when in use: the structural design of dividing the shell 10 into an upper shell 11 and a lower shell 12 improves the efficiency of inspection, cleaning and replacement of the internal parts of the shell 10, because the connecting part 20 is located at the top of the shell 10, when the internal parts of the shell 10 need to be cleaned or maintained, it is only necessary to remove the lower shell 12 from the top of the upper shell 11, and there is no need to remove the connection between the upper shell 11 and the mounting point.

[0030] like Figure 1-3 As shown, further, the gear rack assembly 31 includes two racks 311 relatively slidably connected in two slide rails 122, and a gear 312 is rotatably connected on the bottom wall of the lower shell 12 and is respectively meshed with the two racks 311 on both sides; when in use: when the gear 312 rotates, the racks 311 respectively meshed with the two sides thereof follow and move synchronously in the same direction or opposite direction.

[0031] like Figure 1-3 As shown, further, the driving source 32 is an electric telescopic rod 321 arranged on the inner wall of the lower shell 12, one end of the electric telescopic rod 321 is connected to the inner wall of the lower shell 12, and the telescopic end is fixedly connected to the end of one of the racks 311; when in use: when the telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod 321 moves, the rack 311 fixedly connected to its telescopic end drives the gear 312 and the other rack 311 meshing with the gear 312 to perform synchronous movement.

[0032] like Figure 3 As shown, in another specific embodiment of the driving source, the driving source 32 also includes a stepper motor 322 arranged at the bottom of the lower shell 12, the output end of the stepper motor 322 passes through the bottom of the lower shell 12 and is fixedly connected to the middle of the gear 312, and the stepper motor 322 is electrically connected to the controller.

[0033] like Figure 1-3 As shown, specifically, the transmission device 33 includes two support rods 331 respectively slidably connected in the rectangular groove 121, one end of the two support rods 331 is respectively fixedly connected to the rack 311, and the other end is provided with a rotating cylinder 332 for connecting to the hanging part 40; when in use, the two support rods 331 respectively follow the two racks 311 to move synchronously, and the rotating cylinder 332 is connected to the lower end of the support rod 331 by bolts. When the rotating cylinder 331 needs to be repaired or replaced, the rotating cylinder 331 can be disassembled by turning the bolts.

[0034] like Figure 1-3 As shown, further, the hanging portion 40 includes extension frames 41 respectively arranged at the output ends of the rotating cylinder 332, and at least one hanging rod 42 is spaced apart at one end of the extension frame 41 away from the output end of the rotating cylinder 332; when in use, the rotating cylinder 332 can fine-tune the extension frame 41 according to the position of the A processing area or the B processing area, and adjust the angular position of the extension frame 41 and the hanging rod 42 according to the real-time situation of the on-site work, so as to effectively improve the convenience of the staff in hanging the tire mold on the hanging rod 42 for transportation, thereby improving work efficiency. It is worth noting that the distance between one extension frame 41 and another extension frame 41 is greater than the width of the extension frame 41, so that the extension frames 41 will not contact each other when they move synchronously toward each other or relative to each other.

[0035] like Figure 1-3 As shown, preferably, the hanging rod 42 is connected to the end of the extension frame 41 by bolts; when in use: a plurality of hanging rods of different or same sizes can be replaced and selected according to the size of the wheel hub mold to adapt to the size of the tire mold in different production processes.

[0036] like Figure 1-3 As shown, preferably, the connecting portion 20 includes a convex connecting plate 21 fixedly connected to the top of the upper shell 11, and mounting holes 22 are provided at the four corners of the convex connecting plate 21; when in use, the staff can pass fasteners such as bolts or rivets through the mounting holes 22, thereby installing the shell 10 on an installation point such as a rack or a wall.

[0037] like Figure 1-3 As shown, preferably, inspection openings 123 are provided on the two opposite side walls of the lower shell 12; when in use, the staff or maintenance personnel can observe the operating status of the rack 311, the gear 312 or the electric telescopic rod 321 inside the shell 10 through the inspection opening 123 without disassembling the upper shell 10 and the lower shell 12, and perform regular disassembly and cleaning or non-disassembly maintenance according to the use cycle. In other preferred embodiments, a filter net can also be snapped on at the inspection opening 123 to intercept external dust or foreign matter, thereby effectively improving the service life of the internal parts of the shell 10.

[0038] like Figure 1-3As shown, in summary, the working principle of the utility model is as follows: when in use, the staff sets the shell 10 between the processing area A and the processing area B, and installs the shell 10 by fasteners such as bolts and rivets or by welding, casting and other processes according to the actual situation on site. When the tire mold is processed in the processing area A, the staff hangs the mold on the hanging rod 42 in the processing area A, and at this time controls the telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod 321 to extend. When the telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod 321 extends or retracts, the rack 311 fixedly connected to the telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod 321 drives the gear 312 to rotate At this time, another rack 311 meshing with the gear 312 is forced to move synchronously, so that the hanging rod 42 hanging the tire mold moves to the B processing area. At this time, another hanging rod 42 located in the B processing area moves synchronously to the A processing area, so that the A processing area and the B processing area both have hanging rods 42 in the waiting hanging device, and according to different production lines, the hanging rod 42 can be set with multiple styles of the same or different sizes to adapt to the transportation stability of different processing techniques. It is worth mentioning that the hanging rod 42 located in the B processing area can hang or not hang objects according to different production line operation steps. This solves the problem in the prior art that due to the different sizes of tire molds and the large size of some molds, during the transportation process, they are generally first hoisted to a flatbed trolley by a crane or hoist, and then manually pushed to the designated workstation, and then hoisted to the designated workstation by a crane or hoist, resulting in high labor intensity and low efficiency for workers.

[0039] According to the above description of this specification, those skilled in the art may also understand that the terms used below, such as "upper", "lower" and other terms indicating orientation or positional relationship, are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings of this specification, and are only for the purpose of facilitating the explanation of the scheme of the utility model and simplifying the description, rather than explicitly or implicitly indicating that the device or element involved must have the specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, the above-mentioned orientation or positional relationship terms cannot be understood or interpreted as limitations on the scheme of the utility model.

[0040] In addition, it should be understood that although the present specification is described according to implementation modes, not every implementation mode contains only one independent technical solution. This description of the specification is only for the sake of clarity. Those skilled in the art should regard the specification as a whole. The technical solutions in each embodiment may also be appropriately combined to form other implementation modes that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
