Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tire molding mold technology, specifically a high-efficiency heat transfer tire mold. Background Technology

[0002] A molding die is a mold made according to the shape and structure of a real object in proportion. It is a tool that uses pressing or casting methods to shape materials into a certain shape. A tire is a component that can bear the weight of a vehicle body. Cooling structures are needed in the process of using tire molding dies to improve the tire molding speed.

[0003] However, most tire forming molds still have some shortcomings. When fixing the tire forming mold, bolts are needed to fix the mold, which can easily cause the tire to deform during the forming process. At the same time, the cooling of ordinary tire forming molds is not convenient enough, and the demolding effect of the tire forming mold is not good.

[0004] Chinese Patent CN218838504U discloses a tire forming mold with a cooling function, comprising: a mounting plate with a coolant tank fixedly mounted at its lower end; a water pump fixedly connected to the left side of the mounting plate, and a cooling pipe fixedly connected to the outside of the water pump; a lower mold fixedly connected to the upper end of the mounting plate; a movable mold connected to the inner middle side of the lower mold, with a fixing plate fixedly mounted on the outside of the lower mold; a fixing component rotatably connected to the outside of the fixing plate; a cooling water pipe engaged at the upper end of the lower mold; and an upper mold fixedly connected to the upper end of a sealing ring, with cooling water pipes connected to both the inside and outside of the upper mold; an injection hole on the left surface of the upper mold; and a mounting block fixedly mounted on the lower outer side of the upper mold. This tire forming mold with a cooling function facilitates fixing and cooling of the tire forming mold, and provides good demolding effect for the tire.

[0005] Regarding the above-mentioned and existing related technologies, the inventors believe that the following defects often exist: the device dissipates heat from the mold through cooling water pipes, but the contact area between the cooling water pipes and the mold is limited, and the heat dissipation effect needs to be further improved. Therefore, an efficient heat transfer tire mold is proposed to address the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0006] To overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies and solve the aforementioned technical problems, this utility model proposes a tire mold with high-efficiency heat transfer.

[0007] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is as follows: A high-efficiency heat transfer tire mold, comprising a tire mold assembly, which includes an upper mold, a lower mold, and a movable mold.
