Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of finished tire visual recognition processing technology, specifically a vulcanized finished tire code recognition processing device. Background Technology

[0002] Vulcanized tires, also known as tires that have undergone vulcanization, are an important part of the tire manufacturing process. Vulcanization refers to the process of heating and pressurizing to tightly bond the rubber material and the carcass material of the tire, forming a finished tire with specific strength and elasticity. Vulcanized tires have better wear resistance, tear resistance, and aging resistance, and can meet the needs of various complex road conditions.

[0003] After the tires are vulcanized, in order to achieve effective management and traceability, it is usually necessary to imprint information such as specifications and models on the tire surface. Subsequent processes identify the specifications and models imprinted on the tires, mark the tires accordingly, and store them in the warehouse for classification.

[0004] Current methods for identifying vulcanized tires primarily rely on manual or semi-automated equipment to mark and identify them. This typically involves manually inspecting the tire's markings and then marking and classifying the tires based on the identified specifications. The tire specifications and their corresponding markings are interconnected, resulting in a massive amount of data covering various tire sizes, ply ratings, and performance parameters. This means workers must accurately locate the matching markings from this vast amount of data. The manual matching process is not only time-consuming but also prone to errors due to fatigue, distraction, or information confusion, leading to discrepancies between the actual tire specifications and the markings, thus impacting subsequent warehousing and classification management.

[0005] In view of this, we propose a code recognition and processing device for vulcanized finished tires to solve the existing problems. Utility Model Content
