Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a tire bead picking device. Background Art

[0002] The bead is an important component of the tire and is the part that contacts the rim. The bead is usually composed of a bare wire ring and an apex rubber, which are compounded by an apex rubber laminating machine. The bead plays a vital role in the tire manufacturing process, and its quality and installation accuracy directly affect the overall performance of the tire.

[0003] At present, the composite tire bead is mainly removed from the apex glue laminating machine manually and placed on the tire bead storage vehicle. However, there are many problems with manual operation: low efficiency: the speed of manual tire bead picking is slow, which cannot meet the needs of efficient production lines, resulting in the inability to fully utilize the equipment capacity. High labor intensity: the handling and operation of tire bead requires a lot of physical labor, and long-term repetitive labor can easily lead to worker fatigue and even work-related injuries. Poor consistency: the accuracy and consistency of manual operation are difficult to ensure, which may cause damage or deformation of the tire bead during storage and handling, affecting product quality. In order to solve these problems, some tire bead picking devices have been tried and improved on the market. For example, patent document CN104857271A discloses a tire bead handling device in tire manufacturing, which realizes automatic picking and handling of tire bead by a mechanical arm. However, the device has a complex structure, high cost, and high operation and maintenance requirements, and is not suitable for popularization and application in small and medium-sized enterprises. Another example of patent document CN106045769A discloses a clamping device for tire bead handling, which realizes the grasping and handling of tire bead by a clamping mechanism. However, the device requires precise positioning and control during operation, has high requirements for equipment and environment, and has certain limitations in practical applications. In summary, the prior art has made some efforts to improve the efficiency and automation of tire bead picking, but there are still many shortcomings. There is an urgent need for a tire bead picking device with a simple structure, convenient operation, low cost and easy maintenance to improve the tire bead picking efficiency, reduce labor intensity, ensure product quality, and meet the needs of modern production.

[0024] See also Figure 1The tire bead picking device 100 provided in this embodiment includes a base 1, a first slide rail 2 and a second slide rail 3, a first slide seat 4 and a second slide seat 5, a first telescopic cylinder 6 and a second telescopic cylinder 7, a first group of support rods 8 and a second group of support rods 9; the base 1 is configured to be suitable for installation on a manipulator or a truss; the first slide rail 2 and the second slide rail 3 are relatively arranged on the base 1; the first slide seat 4 and the second slide seat 5 are respectively slidably connected to the first slide rail 2 and the second slide rail 3; the first telescopic cylinder 6 and the second telescopic cylinder 7 are respectively connected to the first slide seat 4 and the second slide seat 5 so that the first The left and right translation of the first slide 4 and the second slide 5 drives the first telescopic cylinder 6 and the second telescopic cylinder 7 to move closer to or away from each other; the first group of struts 8 and the second group of struts 9 are respectively connected to the pistons of the first telescopic cylinder 6 and the second telescopic cylinder 7, and the left and right translation strokes of the first telescopic cylinder 6 and the second telescopic cylinder 7 are suitable for driving the first group of struts 8 and the second group of struts 9 to respectively prop up or loosen the left and right sides of the inner ring of the tire bead 100, and the lifting and lowering displacement of the pistons of the first telescopic cylinder 6 and the second telescopic cylinder 7 in the vertical direction drives the first group of struts 8 and the second group of struts 9 to enter or exit the inner ring of the tire bead 100. Specifically, when the first slide 4 and the second slide 5 move inward, the pistons of the first telescopic cylinder 6 and the second telescopic cylinder 7 extend, so that the first group of struts 8 and the second group of struts 9 enter the inner ring of the tire bead 100. Subsequently, the first slide 4 and the second slide 5 move to their respective outer sides (cylinder extension), so that the first group of struts 8 and the second group of struts 9 open the inner ring of the tire bead 100, forming a firm clamping effect. Through the up and down displacement of the first telescopic cylinder 6 and the second telescopic cylinder 7, the first group of struts 8 and the second group of struts 9 rise and fall in the vertical direction. When picking up the tire bead 100, the cylinder piston rises in the vertical direction, so that the strut clamps and lifts the tire bead 100, completing the picking action. When the tire bead 100 needs to be released, the first slide 4 and the second slide 5 move inward again, so that the strut shrinks and relaxes the clamping of the tire bead 100. Then, through the control of the cylinder, the strut descends in the vertical direction to place the tire bead 100 at the specified position. The manipulator or truss drives the tire bead 100 picking device to transport the tire bead 100 to the target position. The control cylinder piston is contracted, the support rod is lowered and releases the tire bead 100. The support rod withdraws from the inner ring of the tire bead 100, and the slide returns to the initial position to prepare for the next operation.

[0025] The device replaces manual picking of tire 100 with automated operation, which significantly improves the picking efficiency. The first group of support rods 8 and the second group of support rods 9 can quickly and accurately clamp and pick up tire 100 through the synergistic effect of the first telescopic cylinder 6 and the second telescopic cylinder 7, reducing the manual operation time and labor intensity. The first slide rail 2 and the second slide rail 3 of the device are set so that the first slide seat 4 and the second slide seat 5 can be translated left and right to adapt to tires 100 of different sizes. In addition, the expansion and contraction strokes of the first group of support rods 8 and the second group of support rods 9 are adjustable, which further increases the application range of the device. The structural design of the device is reasonable and compact, and it is easy to install on a manipulator or truss. It does not require major changes to existing equipment, and the installation is convenient and quick. Installing the device through a manipulator or a truss can reduce manual intervention, reduce safety risks during operation, and ensure the safety of workers. The device uses high-quality cylinder and support rod components to ensure stable performance and high reliability in long-term use, reducing equipment failures and maintenance costs. The precise control of the first telescopic cylinder 6 and the second telescopic cylinder 7 enables the first group of support rods 8 and the second group of support rods 9 to achieve precise displacement and clamping force, effectively avoiding damage to the tire bead 100 and ensuring product quality.

[0026] In summary, the tire bead 100 picking device of the present invention not only improves production efficiency and reduces labor costs, but also improves operational safety and adaptability of the equipment, and has broad application prospects.

[0027] In some embodiments of the utility model, the first group of support rods 8 and the second group of support rods 9 both include a first support rod 81, 91 and a second support rod 82, 92, and the first support rod 81, 91 and the second support rod 82, 92 are arranged side by side so that both can support the inner ring of the tire bead 100. The first support rod 81, 91 and the second support rod 82, 92 arranged side by side can jointly support the inner ring of the tire bead 100, provide a more uniform support force, and prevent the tire bead 100 from being deformed or damaged due to uneven force. The side-by-side support rods increase the support area, ensuring that the tire bead 100 can be stably and firmly fixed during the clamping and handling process. The parallel arrangement of the two support rods ensures that the tire bead 100 will not be subjected to force on one side.

[0028] Optionally, the first group of support rods 8 and the second group of support rods 9 are arranged on a connecting plate 11 , and the connecting plate 11 is connected to the pistons of the first telescopic cylinder 6 and the second telescopic cylinder 7 .

[0029] In some embodiments of the utility model, the top of the first support rod 81, 91 and the second support rod 82, 92 is provided with a stopper 10 to prevent the tire bead 100 from coming out from below. The stopper 10 is a stopper ring. It is understood that the diameter of the stopper ring is slightly larger than the diameter of the support rod, but smaller than the diameter of the inner ring of the tire bead 100, so as to ensure that it can effectively prevent the tire bead 100 from coming out from the bottom. The stopper ring is usually made of high-strength metal or wear-resistant plastic, which can withstand greater pressure and friction, and ensure service life and reliability. The stopper ring is fixed to the top of the support rod and installed by screws, welding or other reliable fixing methods to ensure that it will not loosen or fall off during operation. During the picking and handling process, the stopper ring can effectively prevent the tire bead 100 from sliding down or falling off, and ensure that the tire bead 100 is firmly supported on the support rod. Especially when the manipulator or truss moves at high speed, the stopper ring can provide additional protection to prevent accidental falling off. This design effectively prevents the tire bead 100 from falling off or tilting during transportation, ensures the efficiency and reliability of the operation process, and protects the quality of the tire bead 100.

[0030] In this embodiment, in order to further optimize the operational stability and force balance of the tire bead 100 picking device, the first telescopic cylinder 6 and the second telescopic cylinder 7 are arranged diagonally, which not only improves the clamping accuracy and operational efficiency, but also enhances the overall stability of the equipment and reduces the safety risks caused by unilateral force. The diagonally arranged cylinder design makes the tire bead 100 picking device more reliable and efficient in industrial production.

[0031] In some embodiments, the left and right translation strokes of the first group of struts 8 and the second group of struts 9 can be adjusted to adapt to tire rims 100 of different sizes. For example, a plurality of positioning holes or scale marks are set on the slide rail, and the slide seat can be fixed at different positions by positioning pins or locking bolts. Alternatively, the stroke of the first telescopic cylinder 6 and the second telescopic cylinder 7 can be controlled by adjusting the limit device (such as a travel switch or a mechanical limit block). This design allows the telescopic distance of the cylinder to be adjusted within a certain range to adapt to tire rims 100 of different sizes. According to the size of the tire rim 100, the operator or the automatic control system can adjust the position of the first slide 4 and the second slide 5 on the slide rail. By adjusting the limit device, the maximum telescopic stroke of the first telescopic cylinder 6 and the second telescopic cylinder 7 is set to ensure that the strut can be expanded and retracted at the appropriate position. The adjustable left and right translation stroke and strut length enable the device to adapt to tire rims 100 of various sizes, thereby improving the versatility of the device. Without the need to replace the equipment, it only needs to be simply adjusted to adapt to tire rims 100 of different specifications, saving the equipment investment cost. Operators can quickly adjust the equipment according to production needs to adapt to the production tasks of different specifications of tire beads 100, improving the flexibility and response speed of the production line. The automated control system can pre-set multiple specification parameters to achieve fast switching and automatic adjustment, further improving production efficiency. By accurately adjusting the cylinder stroke and the length of the support rod, it is ensured that the tire bead 100 can be stably clamped during operation, reducing operational errors and equipment damage caused by size mismatch. It improves the safety and reliability of operation and reduces downtime and maintenance time caused by improper equipment adjustment.

[0032] In addition, common structural forms of slide rails and slide seats include but are not limited to linear modules, linear guides, linear slide rails, etc.
