[0043] For the convenience of those skilled in the art to understand, the following further describes the present utility model in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0044] Please refer to Figures 1-4 , which is an embodiment of a vulcanizer provided by the present utility model. The vulcanizer includes a lower mold 1 and a support mechanism 2. Among them, the middle part of the lower mold 1 has an installation hole penetrating its upper and lower sides, and the support mechanism 2 is located in the installation hole. The support mechanism 2 has a ring seat 21, and controlling the support mechanism 2 can make the ring seat 21 lift relative to the lower mold 1. Both the lower mold 1 and the support mechanism 2 are prior arts, and no improvements are made in this application, so the specific structures thereof will not be elaborated.

[0045] In order to realize automatic cleaning of the lower mold 1, an automatic cleaning device for the lower mold of the vulcanizer is provided on the ring seat 21, and the automatic cleaning device lifts and lowers with the lifting of the ring seat 21. Preferably, the automatic cleaning device is arranged at the lower end of the ring seat 21, which has no influence on the existing functional structure of the ring seat 21 and is convenient for processing, manufacturing and assembly.

[0046] Please refer to Figures 1-4 , the automatic cleaning device for the lower mold of the vulcanizer includes at least one ring groove member 3. The ring groove member 3 is assembled by two structural bodies. The two structural bodies are preferably detachably connected, for example, connected by connecting parts such as bolts, which is convenient for adjusting the ring groove member 3 or replacing parts when needed. In the two structural bodies, at least one docking surface is partially concave to form a ring groove. After the two structural bodies are docked, the ring groove forms a gas distribution cavity 31, and the gas distribution cavity 31 is distributed in the entire circumference of the ring seat 21. If ring grooves are provided on the docking surfaces of both structural bodies, the two ring grooves are communicated to jointly form the gas distribution cavity 31. The cross-sectional shape of the gas distribution cavity 31 is not limited to circular, rectangular, etc., and can be set to any shape according to needs.

[0047] The gas distribution cavity 31 is communicated with a gas supply mechanism 4, and the required gas, preferably compressed air, is supplied into the gas distribution cavity 31 through the gas supply mechanism 4. The flow rate and flow velocity of the supplied gas are both controllable to meet different cleaning requirements. For example, the gas supply mechanism 4 includes a connecting pipe 41. The output end of the connecting pipe 41 is communicated with the gas distribution cavity 31, and the input end is connected to an external gas source through an electromagnetic valve 42. The external gas source can adopt existing equipment on the market, and no improvements are made in this application.

[0048] The gas distribution cavity 31 is communicated with an air outlet structure. Through the air outlet structure, the gas in the gas distribution cavity 31 exits in the entire circumference of the ring seat 21, and the air outlet direction is obliquely downward and outward. The air outlet flow direction can refer to the Figure 3 and Figure 4 indicated by the arrows in; realizing blowing air on the lower mold 1 in a 360° dead-angle-free manner.

[0049] Axially, the number of the annular groove members 3 can be set to two or more to meet the usage requirements of different cleaning situations. The annular groove members 3 move up and down synchronously with the annular seat 21. After the tire vulcanization is completed and the vulcanization mold is opened, the support mechanism 2 is controlled to make the annular seat 21 move upward. During the upward movement of the annular seat 21, the air supply mechanism 4 supplies gas into the gas distribution cavity 31, and the gas is blown on the upper surface of the lower mold 1 through the air outlet structure; as the annular groove members 3 pass through the positions A1, A2, and A3 shown in Figure 4 sequentially, the lower mold 1 is cleaned from the inside to the outside. The air outlet structure continuously blows air obliquely downward and outward uniformly in the circumferential direction of the annular seat 21, realizing a 360° non-dead-angle and non-gap cleaning of the lower mold 1 from the inside to the outside, and pushing the debris and other dirt on the lower mold 1 from the inside to the outside until it is completely cleaned.

[0050] Preferably, the air outlet structure is located on the lower side or the outer side of the gas distribution cavity 31, which can be closer to the lower mold 1 to ensure the cleaning effect.

The air outlet channel 5 communicates the gas distribution cavity 31 with the outside; the air outlet channel 5 extends in the entire circumferential direction of the annular seat 21. The annular air outlet of the air outlet channel 5 has uniform air outlet, simplifies the overall structure of the automatic cleaning device, saves the installation space, and is applicable to the working conditions where no air nozzle can be installed. The air outlet channel 5 is designed through calculation according to the actual usage requirements, and the air outlet angle does not need to be adjusted during the later production process, and can clean the dirt on the surface of different types of lower molds 1, with strong versatility.

[0052] The annular air outlet of the air outlet channel 5 can be on a certain horizontal plane, which is convenient for production and processing; it can also be set as a spiral shape or any other annular shape with a certain angle relative to the horizontal plane, as long as the air is evenly discharged in the entire circumferential direction of the annular seat 21.

[0053] When two structures of the same annular groove member 3 are butted, there are two butt joints. Each butt joint corresponds to two butt surfaces. The two butt surfaces of the same butt joint form a group of butt surface groups. The two butt surfaces of one group of butt surface groups form a seal and do not allow gas to pass through, limiting the gas in the gas distribution cavity 31, which is hereinafter referred to as the sealed butt surface group; there is a gap between the two butt surfaces in the other group of butt surface groups, forming an annular air outlet channel 5, which is hereinafter referred to as the air outlet butt surface group. The size of the gap between the two butt surfaces of the air outlet butt surface group can be designed or adjusted according to needs. Sealing members 7 can be provided between the two butt surfaces of the sealed butt surface group according to the sealing needs.

The first sealing surface 321, the second sealing surface 331, the first gas outlet guiding surface 322, and the second gas outlet guiding surface 332 are all annular surfaces, and the first sealing surface 321 and the second sealing surface 331 are preferably flat surfaces, which are convenient for processing and sealing.

[0056] Preferably, a gasket 6 is arranged between the first sealing surface 321 and the second sealing surface 331, and the gasket 6 is preferably an annular gasket; the connecting member 8 extends axially of the annular seat 21. After the connecting member 8 passes through the first structure body 32 and the second structure body 33 from bottom to top in sequence, it is fixedly connected to the annular seat 21. The connecting member 8 is preferably a part such as a bolt or a screw that is threadedly connected to the annular seat 21. When it is necessary to adjust the gap between the first gas outlet guiding surface 322 and the second gas outlet guiding surface 332, the first structure body 32 and the second structure body 33 can be disassembled and a gasket 6 with a suitable thickness can be replaced, which is convenient for operation.

[0057] A seal 7 is arranged between the first sealing surface 321 and the second sealing surface 331 to further optimize and improve the sealing effect of the first sealing surface 321 and the second sealing surface 331.

[0058] As the second embodiment of the annular groove member 3, please refer to Figure 5, the annular groove member 3 includes a third structure body 36 and a fourth structure body 37. Both the third structure body 36 and the fourth structure body 37 are annular, and the fourth structure body 37 is sleeved on the outer side of the third structure body 36. After the third structure body 36 and the fourth structure body 37 are fixedly connected into a whole by a detachable connection method such as bolts and screws, they are fixedly installed on the annular seat 21 through a connecting member 8. For example, a connecting platform is provided on the inner side surface of the third structure body 36, and the connecting member 8 fixedly connects the connecting platform with the annular seat 21, so as to realize the installation and fixation of the annular groove member 3.

In this way, the fourth structure body 37 is allowed to adjust its position relative to the third structure body 36 along its axial direction.

[0059] A third annular groove is machined on the outer side surface of the third structure body 36.

The sixth structure body 35 extends between the fifth air outlet guiding surface 342 and the fifth sealing surface 341, and a sixth air outlet guiding surface 352 and a sixth sealing surface 351 are respectively formed. Since the sixth structure body 35 has no annular groove structure, the structure is simplified and it is easier to machine than the second embodiment.
