Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of tire centering technology, and more specifically, to a centering and stacking machine for tires of different sizes without rims. Background Technology

[0002] In the current automotive industry, tire stacking machines typically use inflated tires with rims, while tires without rims are usually stacked by robots or trusses. During the stacking process, tire transport will wait, affecting work efficiency.

[0003] Furthermore, tires have different inner and outer diameters and different materials with varying hardness, making it difficult to center them. This will result in uneven tire stacking, causing tire rubber to tip over or making stacking impossible in subsequent processes.

[0004] Therefore, this application proposes a centering and folding machine for tires of different specifications without rims to solve the above-mentioned problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the aforementioned issues, this application provides a centering and folding machine for tires of different specifications without rims.

[0006] This application provides a centering and de-stacking machine for tires of different specifications without rims, employing the following technical solution:

[0007] A centering and folding machine for different sizes of rimless tires includes:

[0008] The frame has a conveying mechanism, a centering mechanism, and a clamping mechanism arranged sequentially from bottom to top inside. Vertical slide rails are symmetrically arranged inside the frame, and sliding members are provided on the vertical slide rails. The centering mechanism and the clamping mechanism are slidably mounted on the vertical slide rails through the sliding members.

[0009] A servo motor is installed at the top of the frame. The output shaft of the servo motor is connected to the sliding member via a transmission belt. The servo motor is used to control the sliding member to move up and down on the vertical slide rail.

[0010] Furthermore, the sliding member is symmetrically provided with transverse slide rails, the slide rails including an upper slide rail and a lower slide rail, the upper slide rail is symmetrically provided with a clamping mechanism, and the lower slide rail is symmetrically provided with a centering mechanism.

[0011] The above technical solution enables the clamping mechanism and the centering mechanism to operate independently, improving the adaptability and flexibility to tires of different specifications.

[0012] Furthermore, the centering mechanism and the clamping mechanism respectively form a ring-shaped structure with the sliding member; a transverse cylinder for controlling the centering mechanism and the clamping mechanism is transversely arranged on the sliding member, and rollers are arranged on the inner walls of both; the transverse cylinder is electrically connected to the servo motor.

[0013] The above technical solutions ensure the stability of the tire during centering and clamping, and the roller design reduces friction and improves the smoothness of operation.

[0014] Furthermore, a lifting cylinder is also provided at the bottom of the frame, and a lifting plate is fixedly installed on the piston shaft of the lifting cylinder, with the lifting plate located on both sides of the conveying mechanism.

[0015] The above technical solutions enable tires to be flexibly adjusted in height during transportation and stacking, adapting to the stacking requirements of tires of different sizes.

[0016] Furthermore, the frame is also equipped with a positioning sensor, which is electrically connected to the servo motor.

[0017] The above technical solution enables precise control of the tire delivery and stacking process, reducing efficiency losses caused by waiting.

[0018] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0019] This application enables the gripping of tires with different outer diameters, and also allows for the adjustment of the high and low pressure of the lateral cylinder to apply different clamping degrees to tires with different hardness, thereby achieving neat stacking of tires of different specifications.

[0027] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1 -3 provides further detailed description of this application.

[0028] This application discloses a centering and folding machine for tires of different specifications without rims, comprising:

[0029] The frame 1 has a conveying mechanism 2, a centering mechanism 3 and a clamping mechanism 4 arranged sequentially from bottom to top inside the frame 1. Vertical slide rails 5 are symmetrically arranged inside the frame 1. Sliding parts 6 are arranged on the vertical slide rails 5. The centering mechanism 3 and the clamping mechanism 4 are slidably arranged on the vertical slide rails 5 through the sliding parts 6.

[0030] A servo motor 7 is installed on the top of the frame 1. The output shaft of the servo motor 7 is connected to the slider 6 via a transmission belt. The servo motor 7 is used to control the slider 6 to move up and down on the vertical slide rail 5.

[0031] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3The sliding member 6 is symmetrically provided with transverse slide rails, which include an upper slide rail 8 and a lower slide rail 9. The upper slide rail 8 is symmetrically provided with a clamping mechanism 4; the lower slide rail 9 is symmetrically provided with a centering mechanism 3. This allows the clamping mechanism 4 and the centering mechanism 3 to operate independently, improving the adaptability and flexibility to tires of different specifications.

[0032] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The centering mechanism 3 and the clamping mechanism 4 form a ring-shaped structure with the sliding member 6. A transverse cylinder 10 for controlling the centering mechanism 3 and the clamping mechanism 4 is arranged on the sliding member 6, and rollers 11 are arranged on the inner wall of both. The transverse cylinder 10 is electrically connected to the servo motor 7. This ensures the stability of the tire during the centering and clamping process. The design of the rollers 11 reduces friction and improves the smoothness of operation.

[0033] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The bottom of the frame 1 is also equipped with a lifting cylinder 12, and a lifting plate 13 is fixedly installed on the piston shaft of the lifting cylinder 12. The lifting plate 13 is located on both sides of the conveying mechanism 2, so that the height of the tires can be flexibly adjusted during the conveying and stacking process to adapt to the stacking requirements of tires of different sizes.

[0034] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The frame 1 is also equipped with a position sensor 14, which is electrically connected to the servo motor 7; this enables precise control of the tire conveying and stacking process, reducing efficiency losses caused by waiting.

[0035] The implementation principle of a centering and folding machine for tires without rims of different specifications in this application embodiment is as follows:

[0036] The tire is transported to the designated position via the conveyor mechanism 2; after the arrival sensor 14 detects the tire's arrival, it sets different delays according to the tire's specifications to ensure that the tire stops accurately in the correct position.

[0037] The lifting mechanism, namely the lifting cylinder 12 and the lifting plate 13, lifts the tire into the working range of the centering mechanism 3; the centering mechanism 3 starts working to center and align the tire, ensuring that the center position of the tire is accurate.

[0038] After centering is completed, the slider 6 continues to descend along the vertical slide rail 5, while the transverse cylinder 10 controls the clamping mechanism 4 to perform a secondary clamping.

[0039] After the clamping mechanism 4 clamps the tire, the lifting plate 13 resets and fixes the tire in the stacking position; the servo motor 7 controls the sliding part 6 to rise along the vertical slide rail 5 and return to the initial position to prepare for the stacking of the next tire.

[0040] Repeat the above steps to achieve continuous tire stacking operations.

[0041] This process ensures that the tire stacking machine can efficiently and accurately handle tires of different sizes, while reducing uneven stacking and subsequent process problems caused by size differences.

[0042] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
