[0024] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the following is a clear and complete description of the technical solution of the present invention in conjunction with the drawings of the present invention. Based on the embodiments in this application, other similar embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work should fall within the scope of protection of this application. In addition, the directional terms mentioned in the following embodiments, such as "up", "down", "left", "right", etc., are only referenced to the directions of the drawings. Therefore, the directional terms used are used to illustrate rather than limit the invention.

[0025] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments.

[0026] According to the embodiment of the present invention, a tread picking device for the tire industry is provided. Figures 1 to 5 , including: a grabbing mechanism 2, the grabbing mechanism 2 includes a bottom beam 21 and a suction cup 23 connected to the bottom beam 21, the suction cup 23 is used to grab the tread, and a plurality of suction cups 23 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the bottom beam 21; a lifting mechanism 3, the lifting mechanism 3 is connected to the grabbing mechanism 2 to drive the grabbing mechanism 2 to reciprocate in the vertical direction; a transmission mechanism, the lifting mechanism 3 is connected to the transmission mechanism at one end away from the grabbing mechanism 2, so that the lifting mechanism 3 follows the transmission mechanism to reciprocate in the horizontal direction.

[0027] It should be noted that, in conjunction with the lifting mechanism 3, the gripping mechanism 2 picks up the tread produced in the tire semi-component tread production line. The lifting mechanism 3 then drives the tread up a certain height along with the gripping mechanism 2, allowing the tread to leave the production line. Subsequently, under the action of the transmission mechanism, the gripping mechanism 2 drives the tread in horizontal motion, transferring the tread to the target production line. This action is repeated multiple times to transfer multiple treads. At the same time, the travel of the transmission mechanism can be controlled so that the transferred treads are arranged side by side to prevent tread stacking. In addition, the tread is grasped by suction cups 23 to prevent damage during grasping. Multiple suction cups 23 are arranged at intervals along the length of the bottom beam 21 to enhance the suction stability of the tread and prevent it from falling during transfer.

[0028] Specifically, the controller of the tire industry tread picking device interacts with the production MES system to calculate the horizontal displacement of the gripping mechanism 2 according to the specifications of the produced tread to avoid stacking of two treads arranged in parallel.

[0029] In the tire industry tread picking device of this embodiment, the grabbing mechanism 2 also includes a mounting plate 22, and the suction cup 23 is installed on the side of the bottom beam 21 through the mounting plate 22. The side of the suction cup 23 away from the tread is connected to a buffer rod 24, and a through hole is opened on the mounting plate 22 for the buffer rod 24 to pass through, and the buffer rod 24 can be movably inserted into the through hole.

[0030] It should be noted that to further ensure that the suction cups 23 can adhere to the tread, a buffer rod 24 is installed on the top of each suction cup 23 to ensure that each suction cup 23 can contact the tread. The suction cups 23 then provide suction to grasp the tread. The suction cups 23 are installed on the side of the bottom beam 21 to prevent the buffer rod 24 from interfering with the bottom beam 21 when moving.

[0031] Specifically, the weight of the tread is generally about 50 kg, so the gripping mechanism 2 is designed to be lightweight, and the bottom beam 21 and the mounting plate 22 in the gripping mechanism 2 are both made of aluminum alloy profiles.

[0032] In the tire industry tread picking device of this embodiment, suction cups 23 are connected to both sides of the bottom beam 21 to further ensure the adsorption stability of the tread.

[0033] The tire industry tread picking device of this embodiment also includes a frame 1, which includes a column 11 and a beam 12. The column 11 is fixed on the ground, and one end of the beam 12 is fixed to the end of the column 11 away from the ground; the transmission mechanism includes a synchronous belt, the running direction of the synchronous belt is parallel to the extension direction of the beam 12, and the lifting mechanism 3 is connected to the synchronous belt.

[0034] It should be noted that one end of the crossbeam 12 is connected to the column 11 to form a cantilever structure, which can maximize the use of space and reduce the footprint of the tire industry tread pickup device. In addition, the use of a synchronous belt for transmission ensures smooth operation and prevents the tread from falling off during the transfer process.

[0035] In the tire industry tread picking device of this embodiment, the transmission mechanism further includes a drive motor 42, which is fixed on the crossbeam 12, and the output end of the drive motor 42 is connected to the synchronous pulley of the synchronous belt.

[0036] Specifically, the driving motor 42 is a servo motor, which can accurately control the transmission distance of the synchronous belt, further ensuring that the tread will not be stacked after transfer.

[0037] In the tire industry tread picking device of this embodiment, a slide rail 13 is fixedly provided at the bottom of the beam 12, and the slide rail 13 is arranged along the length direction of the beam 12. A slider 32 is provided on the lifting mechanism 3, and the slider 32 is slidably connected to the slide rail 13.

[0038] It should be noted that the slide rail 13 cooperates with the slide groove, the slide groove on the slider 32 is nested in the outer surface of the slide rail 13 , and the slide rail 13 guides the horizontal movement of the lifting mechanism 3 .

[0039] In the tire industry tread picking device of this embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 The lifting mechanism 3 includes a connecting plate 31, a slider 32 fixedly connected to the connecting plate 31, and a connecting seat 34 fixed to the connecting plate 31 for connecting to the synchronous belt; a lifting unit 33, the fixed end of the lifting unit 33 being connected to the connecting plate 31, and the movable end of the lifting unit 33 being connected to the bottom beam 21. Multiple lifting units 33 are arranged at intervals along the length of the connecting plate 31 to ensure the stability of the grasping mechanism 2 during lifting and lowering.

[0040] In the tire industry tread picking device of this embodiment, the lifting unit 33 is a pneumatic cylinder or an electric cylinder. Preferably, the lifting unit 33 is an electric cylinder, which has higher control accuracy and can achieve stable control of the lifting stroke of the gripping mechanism 2.

[0041] In the tire industry tread picking device of this embodiment, a mounting hole is opened on the connecting plate 31, and a linear bearing 35 is installed in the mounting hole. Floating shafts 36 are provided on both sides of the lifting unit 33. One end of the floating shaft 36 is connected to the bottom beam 21, and the other end of the floating shaft 36 passes through the linear bearing 35.

[0042] It should be noted that in order to prevent the lifting unit 33 from malfunctioning and causing the gripping mechanism 2 to drop rapidly and damage the tread, floating shafts 36 are provided on both sides of the electric cylinder. The floating shafts 36 play a certain buffering role and can effectively prevent tread damage.

[0043] The present invention has been described in detail above. The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and should not limit the scope of implementation of the present invention. All equivalent changes and modifications made within the scope of this application should still fall within the scope of the present invention.
