Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tire mold technology, and specifically to a tire mold storage device. Background Technology

[0002] Tire molds are used for vulcanizing and molding various types of tires. Tire molds can be divided into two categories: movable molds and two-part molds. Movable molds consist of tread rings, cross sleeves, and upper and lower side plates, while two-part molds consist of an upper mold and a lower mold.

[0003] In the existing technology, tire mold storage platforms are mostly used to store tire molds on the side. The tire mold is lifted to the height of the support end by a lifting mechanism, and then the tire mold is transferred and pushed to the middle position by a pushing mechanism. Although the whole process saves manpower, the tire mold is relatively heavy, so the operation is mostly done by hoisting. Side placement is not convenient for hoisting operations, and pushing it on the side is not conducive to the safety of the frame. Utility Model Content

[0004] Therefore, the technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the defects of storage operation in the prior art, thereby providing a tire mold storage device.

[0005] The above-mentioned technical objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0006] A tire mold storage device includes a base, a storage rack, and multiple storage structures. The storage rack is mounted on the base, and the storage structures are arranged in an array along the height direction of the storage rack. Each storage structure includes a set of oppositely arranged storage plates, a support plate corresponding to the storage plates, and multiple limiting plates mounted on the storage rack. The storage plates are arranged along the width direction of the storage rack with a gap between them. The sides of the two storage plates that are far apart from each other are hinged to the corresponding side walls of the storage rack, and the hinge axes of the storage plates are arranged along the width direction of the storage rack. The support plates are arranged along the width direction of the storage rack. In the working state, the top of the support plate is hinged to the bottom of the storage plate, and the bottom of the support plate abuts against the limiting plates. The limiting plates are mounted on the side walls of the storage rack.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, when the storage plate is not in operation, the tire mold can be hoisted into the storage rack from the top, which facilitates hoisting operations; when the storage plate is in operation, the tire mold can also be clamped into the storage rack from the side using the clamping device; the overall storage process of the tire mold is orderly and does not affect hoisting and side operations, and the appropriate method can be selected for storing the tire mold according to the corresponding tools.

[0008] Furthermore, the storage rack is U-shaped with the opening facing forward. Multiple receiving slots are provided on the opposite side walls of the storage rack corresponding to the storage plate. When the storage plate is not in operation, it is installed in the receiving slot and hinged to the bottom of the receiving slot. The bottom of the storage rack also has supporting feet extending outward and fixed to the base.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the storage rack is fixed on the base to form a basic storage frame, ensuring structural stability when the tire mold is not placed. After the tire mold is placed, the support legs are fixed to the base to reduce the possibility of the overall structure tipping over, ensuring safe placement.

[0010] Furthermore, each of the storage plates is rotatably mounted with multiple guide rollers. The guide rollers are located on the side of the storage plate near the side wall of the corresponding storage rack. The axis of the guide rollers is arranged along the width direction of the storage rack and arranged in an array along the length direction of the storage rack.

[0011] Furthermore, a feeding roller is rotatably mounted on the front side of the storage plate. The feeding roller is arranged along the length direction of the storage rack and arrayed along the width direction of the storage rack. The feeding roller is located on the front side of the storage plate, and the length of the feeding roller is not less than half the width of the storage plate. An arc-shaped limiting block is also extended on the rear side of the storage plate. The limiting block and the feeding roller are arranged opposite to each other with respect to the length direction of the storage plate.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the tire mold needs to be constantly adjusted in position during hoisting operations. Both the guide roller and the feeding roller can guide the tire mold into the middle of the storage plate, which facilitates the movement of the tire mold. After the tire mold is placed in the middle, its sides do not contact the guide roller and the feeding roller. If there is contact, it means that the placement position is incorrect and needs to be adjusted.

[0013] Furthermore, the length of the storage plate is less than the length of the support plate, the hinge axis of the top of the support plate is parallel to the axis of the guide roller, and the top of the support plate is located on the side of the guide roller away from the side wall of the storage rack; when the storage plate is not working, the support plate is in a vertical state and parallel to the side wall of the storage rack, and a positioning post is also provided on the side wall of the storage rack, the axis of the positioning post is perpendicular to the side wall of the storage rack, and a positioning hole is provided on the support plate corresponding to the positioning post.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the storage plate and the support plate have two working states. When not in operation, they are close to the side wall of the storage rack, and the positioning holes and positioning columns are engaged and fixed, which does not affect the top hoisting operation. When in operation, the storage plate is placed horizontally, and the bottom of the support plate abuts against the storage rack to achieve horizontal support for the storage plate.

[0015] Furthermore, the limiting plate is disposed at both the front and rear ends of each support plate and is fixedly perpendicular to the side wall of the storage rack. An abutment block is also fixed above the limiting plate. The abutment block is in the shape of a right triangle and its two right-angled sides are fixed to the side wall of the storage rack and the upper surface of the limiting plate, respectively.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the abutment block is set to abut against the bottom of the support plate, which increases the abutment friction, ensures the abutment stability, and also reduces the wear of the support plate directly contacting the storage rack.

[0017] Furthermore, it also includes multiple mounting cores, which are arranged in an array along the height direction of the storage rack and located in the middle of the storage structure. The mounting cores are arranged correspondingly to the storage structure. Each mounting core includes a frustum-shaped mounting base and a cylindrical mounting column. The diameter of the mounting column is smaller than the diameter of the mounting base. The diameter of the mounting base is smaller than the distance between the storage plates arranged opposite each other in the same group in the working state. The height of the mounting base is equal to the height of the storage plate. The height of the mounting column is equal to the distance between two vertically adjacent storage plates in the working state.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the mounting cores are stacked and pass through the center of the tire mold, which facilitates the center positioning of the tire mold. The small diameter of the mounting column does not affect the pushing of the tire mold, and the overall height of the mounting cores does not affect the unfolding and leveling operation of the storage plate.

[0019] Furthermore, a moisture-absorbing sheet is also installed around the outside of the mounting column, and a mounting frustum is also provided on the base corresponding to the mounting core. The mounting core is stacked on top of the mounting frustum, and the diameter of the mounting frustum is not less than the diameter of the mounting base.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the mounting truncated cone is set at the bottom to provide bottom support for the mounting core, and the moisture-absorbing sheet set on the mounting column provides simple drying protection for the inner wall of the tire mold, which facilitates the storage of the tire mold.

[0021] In summary, the technical solution of this utility model has the following advantages:

[0022] 1. The tire mold storage device provided by this utility model ensures that the overall storage process of the tire mold is orderly and does not affect hoisting and side operations. The appropriate method can be selected for storing the tire mold according to the corresponding tools.

[0023] 2. The tire mold storage device provided by this utility model allows the tire mold to be hoisted into the storage rack from the top when the storage plate is not in operation, facilitating hoisting operations; when the storage plate is in operation, the tire mold can also be clamped into the storage rack from the side using a clamping device.

[0024] 3. The tire mold storage device provided by this utility model uses a mounting core to position the tire mold in conjunction with the storage structure, and provides simple drying protection for the inner wall of the tire mold, making it convenient for storing the tire mold.

Detailed Implementation

[0031] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only for explaining the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0032] A tire mold storage device, such as Figure 1 As shown, it includes a base 1, a storage rack 2 and multiple storage structures 3. The storage rack 2 is fixedly installed on the base 1, and the storage structures 3 are arranged in an array along the height direction of the storage rack 2.

[0033] Each storage structure 3 includes a set of oppositely arranged storage plates 4, a set of support plates 5 corresponding to the storage plates 4, and four limiting plates 6 set on the storage rack 2. The storage plates 4 are arranged along the width direction of the storage rack 2, and in the working state (when the storage plates 4 are flat and the support plates 5 are tilted), there is a gap between the left and right storage plates 4. The sides of the two storage plates 4 that are far apart from each other are hinged to the corresponding side walls of the storage rack 2, and the hinge axis of the storage plates 4 is arranged along the width direction of the storage rack 2. The support plates 5 are arranged along the width direction of the storage rack 2. In the working state, the top of the support plate 5 is hinged to the bottom of the storage plate 4, and the bottom of the support plate 5 abuts against the limiting plates 6. The limiting plates 6 are installed on the side walls of the storage rack 2. When the storage plates 4 are not in operation, the tire mold can be hoisted into the storage rack 2 from the top for easy hoisting operations. When the storage plates 4 are in operation, the tire mold can also be clamped and placed into the storage rack 2 from the side using a clamping device. The overall storage process of the tire mold is orderly and does not affect hoisting and side operations. The appropriate method for storing the tire mold can be selected according to the corresponding tools.

[0034] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the storage rack 2 is U-shaped with its opening facing forward. Multiple receiving slots 22 are provided on the opposite left and right side walls of the storage rack 2, corresponding to the storage plates 4. When not in use, the storage plates 4 are installed in the receiving slots 22, and the bottom of the storage plates 4 is hinged to the bottom of the receiving slots 22. Support legs 21 extend outward from the bottom of the storage rack 2 and are fixed to the base 1. The storage rack 2, fixed to the base, forms a basic storage frame, ensuring structural stability when the tire mold is not placed. After placing the tire mold, the support legs 21 and the base 1 reduce the possibility of the overall structure tipping over, ensuring safe placement.

[0035] like Figure 2 As shown, each storage plate 4 is rotatably mounted with multiple guide rollers 41. The guide rollers 41 are located on the side of each storage plate 4 near the side wall of the corresponding storage rack 2. The axis of the guide rollers 41 is set along the width direction of the storage rack 2 and arranged in an array along the length direction of the storage rack 2.

[0036] A feeding roller 42 is also rotatably mounted on the front side of the storage plate 4. The feeding roller 42 is arranged along the length direction of the storage rack 2 and arrayed along the width direction of the storage rack 2. The feeding roller 42 is arranged on the side of two oppositely arranged storage plates 4 that are close to each other. The length of the feeding roller 42 is not less than half the width of the storage plate 4.

[0037] An arc-shaped limiting block 43 is also provided on the rear side of the storage plate 4. The limiting block 43 and the feeding roller 42 are arranged opposite to each other in the length direction of the storage plate 4.

[0038] During hoisting operations, the tire mold needs to be constantly adjusted in position. Both the guide roller 41 and the feeding roller 42 can guide the tire mold into the middle of the storage plate 4, which facilitates the movement of the tire mold. After the tire mold is placed in the middle, its sides do not contact the guide roller 41 and the feeding roller 42. If there is contact, it means that the placement position is incorrect and needs to be adjusted.

[0039] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the length of the storage plate 4 is less than the length of the support plate 5. The hinge axis of the top of the support plate 5 is parallel to the axis of the guide roller 41, and the top of the support plate 5 is located on the side of the guide roller 41 away from the side wall of the storage rack 2.

[0040] When the storage plate 4 is not in operation, the support plate 5 is vertical and parallel to the side wall of the storage rack 2. A positioning post 23 is also provided on the side wall of the storage rack 2, with its axis perpendicular to the side wall. A positioning hole 51 is provided on the support plate 5 corresponding to the positioning post 23. The storage plate 4 and support plate 5 have two working states: when not in operation, they are tightly attached to the side wall of the storage rack 2, and the positioning hole 51 engages with the positioning post 23 for fixation, without affecting the top hoisting operation; when in operation, the storage plate 4 is placed horizontally, and the bottom of the support plate 5 abuts against the storage rack 2 to provide horizontal support for the storage plate 4.

[0041] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the limiting plate 6 is disposed at both the front and rear ends of each support plate 5 and is fixedly perpendicular to the side wall of the storage rack 2. An abutment block 61 is also fixed above the limiting plate 6. The abutment block 61 is in the shape of a right-angled triangle, with its two right-angled sides fixed to the side wall of the storage rack 2 and the upper surface of the limiting plate 6, respectively. The abutment block 61 abuts against the bottom of the support plate 5, increasing the abutment friction, ensuring stable contact, and reducing wear caused by direct contact between the support plate 5 and the storage rack 2.

[0042] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, it also includes multiple mounting cores 7, which are arranged in an array along the height direction of the storage rack 2 and located in the middle of the storage structure 3. The mounting cores 7 are correspondingly arranged with the storage structure 3, and are vertically stacked and placed at the center of the tire mold. A mounting frustum 11 is also provided on the base 1 corresponding to the mounting core 7. Multiple mounting cores 7 are stacked sequentially on top of the mounting frustum 11. The diameter of the mounting frustum 11 is not less than the diameter of the mounting base 71, and the mounting frustum 11 is located at the bottom to provide bottom support for the mounting core 7.

[0043] The mounting core 7 includes a frustum-shaped mounting base 71 and a cylindrical mounting column 72. The diameter of the mounting column 72 is smaller than the diameter of the mounting base 71, and the diameter of the mounting base 71 is smaller than the distance between the storage plates 4 arranged opposite each other in the same group during operation. The height of the mounting base 71 is equal to the height of the storage plates 4, and the height of the mounting column 72 is equal to the distance between two vertically adjacent storage plates 4 during operation. The mounting cores 7 are stacked and pass through the center of the tire mold, facilitating the center positioning of the tire mold. The small diameter of the mounting column 72 does not affect the pushing of the tire mold, and the overall height of the mounting core 7 does not affect the unfolding and leveling operation of the storage plates 4. Under normal circumstances, the tire molds are put in and taken out sequentially, and the lifting operation is carried out in sequence. In an emergency, the mounting core 7 can be taken out as a whole, and the tire molds of any layer except the bottom layer can be taken out directly from the front side.

[0044] A moisture-absorbing sheet 721 is also installed around the outer wall of the mounting column 72. The moisture-absorbing sheet 721 installed on the mounting column 72 provides simple drying protection for the inner wall of the tire mold, which facilitates the storage of the tire mold.

[0045] The working principle and usage of this tire mold storage device are as follows: When in use, lay the bottom storage structure 3, place the storage plate 4 flat, and tilt the support plate 5 against the abutment block 61 on the limiting plate 6. Place the mounting core 7 on the mounting platform 11. Then, hoist the tire mold from the top and adjust its position on the storage plate 4. During adjustment, the tire mold can be pushed from the front or left / right sides to ensure it is centered. Lay one layer of storage structure 3 to store the tire mold. When retrieving the tire mold, hoist it from top to bottom, bending the upper storage structure 3 to a vertical position to avoid affecting the hoisting. Simultaneously remove the mounting core 7 during hoisting to reduce collisions. In an emergency, remove the mounting core 7 first and then directly clamp the tire mold from the front side.

[0046] The foregoing description illustrates and describes preferred embodiments of the present invention. As previously stated, it should be understood that the present invention is not limited to the forms disclosed herein and should not be construed as excluding other embodiments. It can be used in various other combinations, modifications, and environments, and can be altered within the scope of the inventive concept described herein through the foregoing teachings or related technical or knowledge.
