Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tire manufacturing, and more specifically, to a feeding device and molding equipment. Background Technology

[0002] All-steel tread feeding racks offer various feeding methods, including louvered cart feeding, box-type feeding, and trolley feeding, with louvered cart feeding being the most common. In the pre-forming process of tire molding, the tread has already been cut to a certain length and placed into the louvered cart, with the head and tail directions fixed and unchangeable. During use, after each layer of rubber material is removed from the louvered cart, the cart is flipped to allow for the next layer to be fed. As molding machines demand increasingly higher levels of automation, the need for louvered tread feeding racks with automatic flipping mechanisms is growing.

[0003] In the overall layout of the all-steel four-drum forming machine, to ensure a compact main production line structure, when the tread feeding rack uses a louvered cart for automatic feeding, the louvered cart is placed on the left side of the tread conveyor (opposite to the direction of the three drums), with the tail of the louvered cart at the front end of the bonding template. After the adsorption device picks up the material, the adhesive needs to be rotated 180 degrees above the feeding rack, and the head and tail of the material need to be repositioned before subsequent bonding work can proceed. This method results in a complex feeding rack structure. Utility Model Content

[0004] The main purpose of this utility model is to provide a feeding device and forming equipment to solve the problem of complex feeding rack structure in the prior art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, according to one aspect of the present invention, a feeding device is provided, comprising a support frame having a placement space inside; a material picking component movably disposed on the support frame, the material picking component moving the material on the movable leaf of a louvered cart to a processing device; and a page-turning component movably disposed on the support frame, the page-turning component cooperating with a mating block of the louvered cart, the page-turning component being movable between two adjacent movable leaves and passing through the mating block to flip the upper movable leaf.

[0006] Furthermore, the page-turning component and the material-fetching component are integrated together.

[0007] Furthermore, the page-turning assembly includes a page-turning bracket, which is movably mounted on a support frame; and a page-turning block, which is located at the end of the page-turning bracket and abuts against the movable page.

[0008] Furthermore, a mating block is provided at the end of the active page away from its rotation axis. The mating block protrudes from the side of the frame and abuts against the page-turning block.

[0009] Furthermore, the material-grabbing assembly includes a material-grabbing bracket, which is movably connected to a support frame; and a suction cup, which is located on the side of the material-grabbing bracket near the louvered cart, and the suction cup picks up the tire material.

[0010] Furthermore, the feeding device also includes a positioning device, which is installed in the placement space and positions the louvered cart.

[0011] Furthermore, the feeding device also includes a drive assembly that drives the page-turning assembly and / or the material-taking assembly to move. The drive assembly includes a lateral drive member that is mounted on the support frame and drives the page-turning assembly to move laterally; and a lifting member that is mounted on the lateral drive member and the page-turning assembly that is mounted on the lifting member and drives the page-turning assembly to move along the height direction of the support frame.

[0012] According to another aspect of the present invention, a molding device is provided, including a louvered cart and the above-mentioned feeding device, wherein the louvered cart includes a plurality of movable flaps for placing the tire material and mating blocks, the mating blocks being protrudingly disposed on the side of the louvered cart.

[0013] Furthermore, one side of the movable page is hinged to the vehicle frame, and the movable page can be flipped up and down relative to the vehicle frame. In two adjacent layers of movable pages, the upper movable page flips up and avoids at least part of the upper movable page.

[0014] Furthermore, the rotation center of each of the active pages relative to the frame is located on the same side of the frame.

[0015] Furthermore, the retaining member keeps the flipped movable page in its flipped state. By applying the technical solution of this utility model, the following technical effects are achieved:

[0016] In operation, the louvered cart is positioned within the support frame's storage space, with the feeding rack placed to one side. The material pick-up component retrieves the tire material from the moving flaps of the louvered cart and places it onto the feeding rack. Then, the flipping component operates, flipping the moving flaps to retrieve the tire material from another layer of moving flaps and place it onto the feeding rack. Because the feeding rack is located on one side of the louvered cart, there is no need to flip the material head or tail during the material pick-up process. Furthermore, the flipping component flips the moving flaps of the louvered cart, and the picking component picks up the tire material; each module functions independently with clear division of labor, resulting in a simple structure for handling tire tread material. The structure is simple, low-cost, and performs well. Moreover, by changing the positional relationship between the feeding device and the feeding rack, the need for a 180-degree rotation of the tire tread material head or tail can be avoided.

[0026] To address the problem of complex feeding rack structures in existing technologies, this application provides a feeding device and forming equipment.

[0027] See Figures 1 to 3The feeding device includes a support frame 10, a material picking component 30, and a page turning component 40. The support frame 10 has a placement space inside. The material picking component 30 is movably mounted on the support frame 10 and moves the material on the movable page 21 to the processing equipment. The page turning component 40 is movably mounted on the support frame 10 and cooperates with the mating block 23 of the louvered cart 20. The page turning component 40 can move between two adjacent movable pages 21 and flip the upper movable page 21.

[0028] In use, the louvered cart 20 is located within the placement space of the support frame 10, and the feeding rack is placed to one side of the louvered cart 20. The material pick-up component 30 picks up the tire material from the movable page 21 of the louvered cart 20 and places it onto the feeding rack. Then, the page-turning component 40 operates, causing the movable page 21 to turn, picking up the tire material from another movable page 21 and placing it onto the feeding rack. Because the feeding rack is located to one side of the louvered cart 20, it is not necessary to flip the head and tail of the material during the material pick-up process of the feeding component 30. Furthermore, by using the page-turning component to turn the movable page 21 of the louvered cart 20 and the feeding component 30 to pick up the tire material, each module has independent functions and clear division of labor, resulting in a simple structure for handling tire tread material. The structure is simple, the cost is low, and the performance is good. Moreover, by changing the positional relationship between the feeding device and the feeding rack, the need to rotate the head and tail of the tire tread material by 180 degrees can be avoided.

[0029] In this application, the page-turning component 40 and the material-picking component 30 are integrated together.

[0030] Specifically, in actual operation, both the page-turning component 40 and the material-picking component 30 need to move in two identical directions. Therefore, by integrating the page-turning component 40 and the material-picking component 30 together, a single drive system can power both components. This reduces the need for a separate drive component 60, thereby lowering production costs.

[0031] In this application, the page-turning assembly 40 includes a page-turning bracket 41 and a page-turning block 42. The page-turning bracket 41 is movably mounted on the support frame 10, and the page-turning block 42 is located at the end of the page-turning bracket 41 and abuts against the movable page 21.

[0032] In this application, a mating block 23 is provided at the end of the active page 21 away from its rotation axis. The mating block 23 protrudes from the side of the frame and abuts against the page-turning block 42.

[0033] Specifically, in actual operation, the flipping block abuts against the mating block 23 protruding from the side of the frame. The movement of the flipping bracket 41 drives the flipping block to move, which in turn drives the mating block 23 to move, thus flipping the movable page 21. Preferably, a drive assembly 60 is provided on the support frame 10. The drive assembly 60 drives the support frame 10 to move, thereby facilitating the flipping of the movable page 21.

[0034] In this application, the material picking assembly 30 includes a material picking bracket 31 and a suction cup 32. The material picking bracket 31 is movably connected to the support frame 10, and the suction cup 32 is disposed on the side of the material picking bracket 31 near the louvered cart 20. The suction cup 32 picks up the tire material.

[0035] Specifically, the suction cup 32 is used to pick up and place the tire material, thereby facilitating the handling of the tire material. Preferably, a drive assembly 60 is provided on the support frame 10, which drives the support frame 10 to move through the material picking assembly 30, thereby facilitating the handling of the tire material by the suction cup 32.

[0036] In this application, the feeding device also includes a positioning device 50, which is disposed in the placement space and positions the louvered cart 20.

[0037] Specifically, the positioning device 50 positions the louver cart 20 so that it can stop at a fixed position each time, thereby reducing the mutual positioning between the leaf-turning assembly 40 and the material-picking assembly 30 and the louver cart 20, and improving the overall efficiency of the equipment.

[0038] In this application, the feeding device further includes a drive assembly 60, which drives the page-turning assembly 40 and / or the material-taking assembly 30 to move. The drive assembly 60 includes a transverse drive assembly 61 and a lifting member 62. The transverse drive assembly 61 is mounted on the support frame 10 and drives the page-turning assembly 40 to move laterally. The lifting member 62 is mounted on the transverse drive assembly 61 and the page-turning assembly 40 is mounted on the lifting member 62. The lifting member 62 drives the page-turning assembly 40 to move along the height direction of the support frame 10.

[0039] Specifically, the lateral drive component 61 and the lifting component 62 facilitate the lateral and longitudinal movement of the page-turning assembly 40 and the drive assembly 60. Preferably, the lifting component 62 is a cylinder, and the lateral drive component 61 is a lead screw and a motor that drives the lead screw to rotate.

[0040] This application provides a molding device, including a louvered cart and a feeding device. The louvered cart includes multiple movable flaps for placing the molded material and mating blocks, with the mating blocks protruding from the side of the louvered cart.

[0041] In this application, the rotation center of each active page 21 relative to the frame is located on the same side of the frame.

[0042] Specifically, by setting the rotation center of each movable page 21 relative to the frame on the same side of the frame, when the page-turning assembly 40 flips the movable pages 21, it is only necessary to change the height or horizontal position of the page-turning assembly 40 to flip all the movable pages 21 on the louvered carriage 20. This facilitates the flipping of the movable pages 21 by the page-turning assembly 40.

[0043] In this application, the louvered carriage 20 also includes a retainer 22, which keeps the flipped active leaf 21 in the flipped state.

[0044] The retainer 22 keeps the active page 21 in the flipped state, so that the flipped active page 21 will not block the unflipped active page 21 and will not affect the material picking component 30 from picking up the tire material on the unflipped active page.

[0045] The preferred retainer 22 is a spring, with one end connected to the movable leaf 21 and the other end connected to the louvered carriage 20. When not flipped, the spring is in a stretched state, but the direction of spring contraction is perpendicular to the initial flipping angle of the movable leaf 21, so the movable leaf 21 cannot be flipped. When the movable leaf 21 is flipped, the spring is in a contracted equilibrium state, so that the movable leaf 21 always maintains the flipped state.

[0046] As can be seen from the above description, the embodiments of this utility model achieve the following technical effects:

[0047] 1. In use, the louvered cart 20 is located within the placement space of the support frame 10, and the feeding rack is placed on one side of the louvered cart 20. The material pick-up component 30 picks up the tire material from the movable page 21 of the louvered cart 20 and places it on the feeding rack. Then, the page-turning component 40 operates, causing the movable page 21 to turn, picking up the tire material from another movable page 21 and placing it on the feeding rack. Because the feeding rack is located on one side of the louvered cart 20, it is not necessary to flip the head and tail of the material during the material pick-up process of the feeding component 30. Furthermore, the flipping component flips the movable page 21 of the louvered cart 20, and the feeding component 30 picks up the tire material; each module has independent functions and clear division of labor, resulting in a simple structure for handling tire tread material. The structure is simple, the cost is low, and the performance is good. Moreover, by changing the positional relationship between the feeding device and the feeding rack, the need to rotate the head and tail of the tire tread material by 180 degrees can be avoided.

[0048] 2. By setting the rotation center of each movable page 21 relative to the frame on the same side of the frame, when the page-turning assembly 40 flips the movable pages 21, it is only necessary to change the height or horizontal position of the page-turning assembly 40 to flip all the movable pages 21 on the louvered carriage 20. This facilitates the flipping of the movable pages 21 by the page-turning assembly 40.
