Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Tires are circular, elastic rubber products that are mounted on various vehicles or machinery and roll on the ground. In the tire manufacturing process, tire molds are used to form and manufacture the tires. Tire molds are processed through multiple stages and technologies. When processing tire molds, holes must be drilled in appropriate positions according to the drawings, and semi-finish machining must be performed to ensure that the outer diameter and height of the tread rings meet the expected standards. After the tire molds are processed, there will be some debris residue on the surface of the tire molds, so cleaning equipment is required.

[0003] Currently, the most common method for cleaning tire molds is to place them inside an ultrasonic cleaner. An appropriate amount of cleaning fluid is added to the ultrasonic cleaner, and ultrasonic cleaning is performed within the fluid. After the ultrasonic cleaning is complete, cleaning fluid residue remains on the surface of the tire mold, requiring a second cleaning with clean water. After this second cleaning, the tire mold is air-dried naturally, which takes time. Therefore, the tire molds cannot be put into tire production quickly, affecting tire processing efficiency. This problem should be addressed specifically.

[0004] Therefore, a tire mold cleaning device is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a tire mold cleaning device in order to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model specifically adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A tire mold cleaning device includes a base, an ultrasonic cleaner, and a tire mold. A control box is fixedly installed on the top of the base. The top and one side of the base are provided with a moving mechanism for driving the tire mold to move horizontally and longitudinally. The surface of the moving mechanism is provided with a limiting mechanism for limiting and fixing tire molds of various sizes. The top of the base is provided with an immersion and drying assembly for cleaning the cleaning fluid on the tire mold and drying the tire mold, and the immersion and drying assembly is located on one side of the ultrasonic cleaner.

[0008] Furthermore, the moving mechanism includes a slide groove, the top of the base is provided with a slide groove, a motor is fixedly provided on one side wall of the base, a lead screw is rotatably provided on the inner wall of the slide groove, and one end of the lead screw passes through the surface of the base and is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor. A slider is threadedly connected to the surface of the lead screw, and the slider is slidably installed with the inner wall of the slide groove. A cylinder is fixedly provided on the top of the slider, and an extension plate is fixedly provided on the telescopic end of the cylinder. The limiting mechanism is provided on the surface of the extension plate.

[0009] Furthermore, the limiting mechanism includes a guide rail, the surface of the extension plate is fixedly provided with the guide rail, the inner wall of the guide rail is rotatably provided with a bidirectional threaded rod, one end of the bidirectional threaded rod passes through the surface of the guide rail and extends to its outside, the end of the bidirectional threaded rod is fixedly provided with a crank handle, the surface of the bidirectional threaded rod is threadedly connected with a movable block, and the movable block is slidably installed with the inner wall of the guide rail, and the bottom of the movable block is fixedly provided with a limiting rod.

[0010] Furthermore, both the movable block and the limiting rod are provided in two sets, and both sets of limiting rods are arranged in an L-shape.

[0011] Furthermore, the immersion and drying assembly includes an immersion tank, which is fixedly mounted on the top of the base. The surface of the immersion tank has a slot, and a dryer is fixedly mounted on the side wall of the immersion tank. An air pipe is fixedly connected to the dryer, and a gas collection hood is fixedly mounted on the other end of the air pipe. The gas collection hood is located between the inner walls of the slot.

[0012] Furthermore, the slot, air dryer, air pipe and air collection hood are each provided in two sets, and the two sets of air dryers are arranged in a corresponding manner.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0014] 1. This utility model uses a limiting mechanism to limit and fix the tire mold, with the opening of the tire mold facing downwards. A portion of the limiting mechanism's surface contacts the inner wall and bottom of the tire mold. This limiting mechanism can limit and fix tire molds of various inner diameters, thus expanding the application range. The ultrasonic cleaner contains an appropriate amount of cleaning fluid. A moving mechanism drives the tire mold vertically downwards into the ultrasonic cleaner for cleaning. After cleaning, the moving mechanism moves the tire mold to the top of the ultrasonic cleaner and drives the water flow through it. The device is moved horizontally above the immersion and drying assembly. At this point, the moving mechanism drives the tire mold to move vertically downwards again, thus moving the tire mold into the immersion and drying assembly. The cleaning solution on the surface of the tire mold is cleaned by the clean water inside the immersion and drying assembly. When the cleaning solution on the surface of the tire mold is cleaned, the moving mechanism drives the tire mold to move upwards to a certain height, while the tire mold is still inside the immersion and drying assembly. The immersion and drying assembly dries the tire mold, ensuring that the tire mold is clean and dust-free, thus facilitating its entry into production. This device has a wide range of applications and improves the cleaning effect of tire molds. Attached Figure Description

Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0024] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, a tire mold cleaning device includes a base 1, an ultrasonic cleaner 2, and a tire mold 3. A control box 4 is fixedly mounted on the top of the base 1. The top and one side of the base 1 are provided with a moving mechanism 5 for driving the tire mold 3 to move horizontally and vertically. The surface of the moving mechanism 5 is provided with a limiting mechanism 6 for limiting and fixing tire molds 3 of various sizes. The top of the base 1 is provided with an immersion and drying assembly 7 for cleaning the cleaning fluid on the tire mold 3 and drying the tire mold 3, and the immersion and drying assembly 7 is located on one side of the ultrasonic cleaner 2. Specifically, the moving mechanism 5 and the immersion and drying assembly 7 are both controlled by the control box 4. First, the tire mold 3 is limited and fixed by the limiting mechanism 6, with the opening of the tire mold 3 facing downwards. A partial surface of the limiting mechanism 6 is in contact with the inner wall and bottom of the tire mold 3. The limiting mechanism 6 can limit and fix tire molds 3 of various inner diameters, thereby limiting and fixing tire molds 3 of various sizes. This expands the scope of application. The ultrasonic cleaner 2 contains an appropriate amount of cleaning fluid. The tire mold 3 is driven vertically downward by the moving mechanism 5 to be cleaned inside the ultrasonic cleaner 2. After the tire mold 3 is cleaned, the moving mechanism 5 drives the tire mold 3 to move above the ultrasonic cleaner 2 and then horizontally to the top of the immersion drying assembly 7. At this time, the moving mechanism 5 drives the tire mold 3 to move vertically downward again, thus moving the tire mold 3 into the immersion drying assembly 7. The cleaning fluid on the surface of the tire mold 3 is cleaned by the clean water inside the immersion drying assembly 7. After the cleaning fluid on the surface of the tire mold 3 is cleaned, the moving mechanism 5 drives the tire mold 3 to move upward a certain height, while the tire mold 3 is still inside the immersion drying assembly 7. The immersion drying assembly 7 dries the tire mold 3, ensuring that the tire mold 3 is clean and dust-free, thus facilitating its production. This device has a wide range of applications and improves the cleaning effect on the tire mold 3.

[0025] like Figure 2 , Figure 3As shown, the moving mechanism 5 includes a slide groove 501. The top of the base 1 has the slide groove 501. A motor 502 is fixedly mounted on one side wall of the base 1. A lead screw 503 is rotatably mounted on the inner wall of the slide groove 501, with one end of the lead screw 503 penetrating the surface of the base 1 and fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 502. A slider 504 is threadedly connected to the surface of the lead screw 503, and the slider 504 is slidably installed against the inner wall of the slide groove 501. A cylinder 505 is fixedly mounted on the top of the slider 504. An extension plate 506 is fixedly provided at the telescopic end of cylinder 505, and the limiting mechanism 6 is provided on the surface of extension plate 506. Specifically, when motor 502 starts, its output end drives lead screw 503 to rotate. The rotation of lead screw 503 causes slider 504 to slide horizontally, thereby causing cylinder 505, extension plate 506 and limiting mechanism 6 to move horizontally, and thus causing tire mold 3 to move horizontally. When cylinder 505 starts, its telescopic end drives extension plate 506 and limiting mechanism 6 to move longitudinally, thereby causing tire mold 3 to move longitudinally.

[0026] like Figure 2 , Figure 4 As shown, the limiting mechanism 6 includes a guide rail 601. The guide rail 601 is fixedly mounted on the surface of the extension plate 506. A bidirectional threaded rod 602 is rotatably mounted on the inner wall of the guide rail 601. One end of the bidirectional threaded rod 602 passes through the surface of the guide rail 601 and extends to its outside. A crank handle 603 is fixedly mounted on this end of the bidirectional threaded rod 602. A movable block 604 is threadedly connected to the surface of the bidirectional threaded rod 602. The movable block 604 is slidably mounted on the inner wall of the guide rail 601. A limiting rod 605 is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the movable block 604. Specifically, rotating the crank handle 603 causes the bidirectional threaded rod 602 to rotate, thereby causing the movable block 604 to slide, which in turn causes the limiting rod 605 to move. The limiting rod 605 contacts the inner wall and bottom of the tire mold 3.

[0027] like Figure 2 , Figure 4 As shown, both the movable block 604 and the limiting rod 605 are provided in two sets, and both sets of limiting rods 605 are L-shaped. Specifically, the rotation of the bidirectional threaded rod 602 causes the two sets of movable blocks 604 to slide in opposite directions, thereby adjusting the distance between the two sets of limiting rods 605. This allows the distance between the two sets of limiting rods 605 to match the inner diameter of the tire mold 3. The surfaces of both sets of limiting rods 605 are in contact with the inner wall and bottom of the tire mold 3, thereby supporting the tire mold 3 and achieving the limiting and fixing of the tire mold 3.

[0028] like Figure 1 , Figure 2As shown, the immersion and drying assembly 7 includes an immersion tank 701, which is fixedly mounted on the top of the base 1. The surface of the immersion tank 701 has a slot 702, and a dryer 703 is fixedly mounted on the side wall of the immersion tank 701. An air pipe 704 is fixedly connected to the dryer 703, and a gas collection hood 705 is fixedly mounted on the other end of the air pipe 704. The gas collection hood 705 is located between the inner walls of the slot 702. Specifically, the immersion tank 701 stores an appropriate amount of clean water. The tire mold 3 is immersed in the clean water to remove the cleaning liquid from the surface of the tire mold 3. When the dryer 703 is started, the air flow rate inside the immersion tank 701 is accelerated, thereby speeding up the drying of the surface of the tire mold 3.

[0029] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the slot 702, the air dryer 703, the air pipe 704 and the air collection hood 705 are all provided in two sets, and the two sets of air dryers 703 are arranged in a corresponding manner; specifically, the two sets of air dryers 703 are started at the same time, thereby accelerating the air flow around the tire mold 3, and thus accelerating the drying of the surface of the tire mold 3.

[0030] In summary: Both the moving mechanism 5 and the immersion drying assembly 7 are controlled by the control box 4. First, the tire mold 3 is fixed in place by the limiting mechanism 6, with the opening of the tire mold 3 facing downwards. A portion of the limiting mechanism 6 contacts the inner wall and bottom of the tire mold 3. The limiting mechanism 6 can fix tire molds 3 with various inner diameters, thus enabling the fixing of tire molds 3 of various specifications and expanding its application range. The ultrasonic cleaner 2 contains an appropriate amount of cleaning fluid. The moving mechanism 5 drives the tire mold 3 vertically downwards into the ultrasonic cleaner 2 for cleaning. After cleaning, the moving mechanism 5 drives the tire mold 3 back into the ultrasonic cleaner 2. The device moves the tire mold 3 horizontally above the immersion and drying assembly 7. Then, the moving mechanism 5 drives the tire mold 3 vertically downward, moving it into the immersion and drying assembly 7. The cleaning solution on the surface of the tire mold 3 is cleaned by the clean water inside the immersion and drying assembly 7. After the cleaning solution on the surface of the tire mold 3 is cleaned, the moving mechanism 5 drives the tire mold 3 upward to a certain height, while the tire mold 3 is still inside the immersion and drying assembly 7. The immersion and drying assembly 7 dries the tire mold 3, ensuring that the tire mold 3 is clean and dust-free, thus facilitating its production. This device has a wide range of applications and improves the cleaning effect on the tire mold 3.
