Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of rubber vulcanization, and particularly relates to a snow spike structure and a tire mold. Background Art

[0002] Currently, there are three main ways to connect snow spikes to tire molds: casting fixation, front thread fixation, and back screw fixation.

[0003] Cast-in snow spikes are difficult to remove but cannot be replaced. Front-threaded snow spikes can be replaced, but during the tire vulcanization process, the rubber exerts a certain force on the spikes, causing them to rotate and fall out. While gluing can solve the problem of easy fallout, it also brings problems such as difficulty in removing the spikes and glue spillage during vulcanization that can contaminate the tire. Back-screwed snow spikes ensure stability and can be replaced, but replacement requires the mold to be removed from the machine, making the process cumbersome.

[0004] In view of the above problems in the prior art, a snow spike structure that can be quickly replaced and prevented from falling off is provided to overcome the above defects. Utility Model Content

[0015] And / or, the locking hole is a conical hole adapted to the locking cone of the snow spike.

[0016] Furthermore, the diameter of the support hole is 0.02 to 0.06 mm larger than the diameter of the neck of the snow spike.

[0017] Furthermore, a groove is provided on the end surface of the bushing away from the locking hole.

[0018] Furthermore, the groove is radially arranged to connect the support hole and the outer circle of the bushing, multiple grooves are arranged at intervals around the circumference, and at least two grooves are evenly distributed around the circumference, or the groove is a regular polygonal shape concentric with the support hole of the bushing.

[0043] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0044] Please refer to Figure 1-Figure 5 In order to solve the above technical problems, the utility model provides a snow nail structure, including: a snow nail 1, a bushing 2, and a threaded sleeve 3; the threaded sleeve 3 has an inner hole, and the snow nail 1 is installed in the inner hole of the threaded sleeve 3; the bushing 2 is sleeved on the outside of the snow nail 1, and the bushing 2 is arranged in the inner hole of the threaded sleeve 3, and is threadedly connected with the threaded sleeve 3, so that the snow nail 1 is pressed into the threaded sleeve 3 to limit the snow nail 1 from being separated from one end of the threaded sleeve 3. The snow nail 1 is installed in the threaded sleeve 3 from the cavity surface of the tire mold, and the snow nail is fixed in the threaded sleeve by the bushing 2 from the cavity surface, so that it is easy to be removed from the cavity surface.

[0045] Specifically, the snow spike 1 includes a handle 11, a neck 12, and a locking portion 13 connected in sequence. The handle 11 includes a first end face away from the neck 12. The handle 11 is inserted into the tire from one side of the first end face to form a hole groove structure on the tire. The snow spike on the tire is fixed in the hole groove structure to prevent the vehicle from slipping.

[0046] The locking portion 13 includes a second end face 132 away from the neck 12, and the second end face 132 is a plane; the locking portion 13 also includes a locking column 133 connected to the second end face 132; the locking portion 13 also includes a locking cone 131, which is a cone that gradually tapers from the locking column 133 of the locking portion 13 to the neck 12.

[0047] The bushing 2 includes a supporting hole 21 and a locking hole 22; the supporting hole 21 is a through hole, and the diameter of the supporting hole 21 is larger than the diameter of the neck 12 of the snow nail 1. During the vulcanization process, the tire drives the snow nail 1 to rotate in the bushing 2. The diameter of the supporting hole 21 is smaller than the diameter of the locking column 133, and is suitable for being sleeved on the outside of the neck 12 of the snow nail 1 from the first end face of the snow nail 1 toward the second end face 132 to prevent the snow nail 1 from falling out of the supporting hole 21; the locking hole 22 is preferably a conical hole adapted to the locking cone 131 of the snow nail 1.

[0048] Specifically, the diameter of the support hole 21 is 0.02 to 0.06 mm larger than the diameter of the neck 12 of the snow spike 1 , so that the snow spike 1 can rotate in the bushing 2 without being significantly deviated from its position.

[0049] A groove 24 is provided on the end surface of the bushing 2 away from the locking hole 22. The groove 24 can be arranged radially, connecting the support hole 21 and the outer circle of the bushing 2. Multiple grooves 24 are arranged at intervals around the circumference, and multiple grooves 24 are evenly distributed in the circumferential direction, for example, two grooves are evenly distributed around the circumference. A wrench with two protrusions can be used to fit into the groove 24 to screw the bushing 2 into or out of the threaded sleeve 3; or the groove 24 can be a regular polygon concentric with the support hole 21 of the bushing 2, and a corresponding regular polygon hollow wrench can be used for disassembly and assembly.

[0050] The threaded sleeve 3 has an internal thread 31 and the bushing 2 has an external thread 23 matching the internal thread 31 , and the two are suitable for threaded connection.

[0051] The utility model also provides a tire mold, including a tread block 4 and a snow spike structure as described in the above embodiment. The cavity surface of the tread block 4 is provided with a hole groove adapted to the threaded sleeve 3, and the threaded sleeve 3 is fixed in the hole groove of the tread block 4.

[0052] Furthermore, one end of the threaded sleeve 3 exposed from the tread block 4 is flush with the cavity surface of the tread block 4. After the bushing 2 is connected to the threaded sleeve 3, the one end of the bushing 2 exposed from the threaded sleeve 3 is flush with the one end of the threaded sleeve 3 exposed from the tread block 4. After the bushing 2, the threaded sleeve 3 and the cavity surfaces of the tread block 4 are flush, no trace will be formed on the surface of the tire after vulcanization. During vulcanization, the snow spike 1 is inserted into the tire, and the second end face 132 of the locking portion 13 of the snow spike 1 is driven to abut against the bottom of the hole groove of the tread block 4. The gap between the locking hole 22 and the locking cone 131 of the snow spike 1 is 0.01 to 0.03 mm. The locking portion 13 of the snow spike 1 is fixed in the space formed by the tread block 4 and the bushing 2. The snow spike will not fall out of the secondary space, and due to the existence of the gap, the snow spike can rotate under the action of the tire.

[0053] The outer circle of the threaded sleeve 3 has an external thread, which can be threadedly connected to the pattern block. The threaded connection method is flexible in assembly and disassembly, or the threaded sleeve 3 is cast in the hole groove of the pattern block 4. The casting method is reliable and not easy to fall off.

[0054] The above are merely specific embodiments of the present disclosure, intended to enable those skilled in the art to understand and implement the present disclosure. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present disclosure. Therefore, the present disclosure is not limited to these embodiments, but is to be construed in the broadest manner consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
