Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of tire inflation production equipment, specifically a fully automatic tire inflation production equipment. Background Technology

[0002] For the electric bicycle and motorcycle industry, tire assembly is a crucial step in tire manufacturing. The process involves manually applying oil to the tire and placing it in its designated position on the rim. Then, the valve stem is manually extended from the inside of the rim and secured with a nut. The tire is then manually pressed into the rim. The semi-finished tire is then manually transferred to an inflation device, where the valve stem is inflated. Finally, the finished tire is manually removed. This process is cumbersome, requires a large number of assembly workers, has low production efficiency, increases assembly costs, and, due to its manual operation, makes quality control impossible, resulting in a lower yield rate.

The automatic tire oiling moving device includes an automatic robotic arm, an automatic tire clamp, and an automatic oiler. The robotic arm is positioned between the point-to-point visual detector and the wheel hub tire inflation device and is connected to the microcontroller. The automatic oiler is installed at the output end of the tire conveying roller and is also connected to the microcontroller. The automatic tire clamp is installed on the robotic arm and can be moved via the robotic arm to the tire conveying roller, the automatic oiler, and the wheel hub tire inflation device. The microcontroller controls the operating sequence of the tire conveying roller, the point-to-point visual detector, the robotic arm, the automatic tire clamp, the automatic oiler, and the wheel hub tire inflation device, thereby sequentially performing the production processes of tire conveying, tire point-to-point detection and rotation, tire oiling, tire installation, and tire inflation.

[0005] Based on the above optimization, the tire conveying roller conveyor includes an inclined conveying chute for conveying tires from top to bottom and a powered roller conveyor line for conveying tires towards the alignment visual detector. The lowest point of the inclined conveying chute is connected to the powered roller conveyor line, which is connected to a microcontroller. The alignment visual detector is mounted above the powered roller conveyor line via a tire detection bracket. The automatic oiler is located at the output end of the powered roller conveyor line.

[0012] Based on the above optimization, the tire loading station is equipped with limiting posts to facilitate the point-to-point placement of the tire on the wheel hub.

[0013] Based on the above optimization, the frame is equipped with an automatic finished product output device, which includes an automatic unloading station, an output transporter, and a finished product output power slide. The automatic unloading station is telescopically connected to the tire loading station corresponding to the wheel hub tire loading and inflation device.

[0025] The present invention will now be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0026] According to the appendix Figures 1 to 7 As shown in the figure, the fully automatic tire loading and inflation production equipment of this utility model includes a frame 1 and a tire conveying roller conveyor 2, a wheel hub tire loading and inflation device 3, and a microcontroller 4 mounted on the frame 1. The tire conveying roller conveyor 2 is equipped with a tire visual inspection alignment device 5 and an automatic tire oiling moving device. The tire visual inspection alignment device 5 includes a tire inspection bracket 51 mounted on the tire conveying roller conveyor 2 and an alignment visual detector 52 for real-time detection of tire alignment position. The alignment visual detector 52 is mounted on the tire inspection bracket 51 and connected to the microcontroller 4. The automatic tire oiling moving device includes an automatic robotic arm 6, an automatic tire clamp 7, and an automatic oiler 8. The automated robotic arm 6 is positioned between the alignment visual detector 52 and the wheel hub tire inflation device 3 and is connected to the microcontroller 4. The automated oiler 8 is installed at the output end of the tire conveying roller conveyor 2 and is also connected to the microcontroller 4. The automated tire clamp 7 is installed on the automated robotic arm 6 and can move along the tire conveying roller conveyor 2, the automated oiler 8, and the wheel hub tire inflation device 3 via the automated robotic arm 6. The microcontroller 4 controls the operating sequence of the tire conveying roller conveyor 2, the alignment visual detector 52, the automated robotic arm 6, the automated tire clamp 7, the automated oiler 8, and the wheel hub tire inflation device 3, thereby sequentially performing the production processes of tire conveying, tire alignment detection and alignment rotation, tire oiling, tire installation, and tire inflation.

[0027] By coordinating the microcontroller 4 with the tire conveyor roller 2, the tire visual inspection alignment device 5, the automatic tire oiling moving device, and the wheel hub tire loading and inflation device 3, the fully automatic processes of tire conveying, visual inspection alignment, tire oiling, tire handling, tire loading, and inflation are achieved. The fully automatic operation results in high production efficiency and ensures quality.

[0028] Reference Figures 1 to 2As shown, further detailed, the tire conveying roller conveyor 2 includes an inclined conveyor chute 21 for conveying tires from top to bottom and a powered roller conveyor line 22 for conveying tires towards the alignment visual detector 52. The lowest point of the inclined conveyor chute 21 is connected to the powered roller conveyor line 22, which is connected to the microcontroller 4. The alignment visual detector 52 is mounted above the powered roller conveyor line 22 via a tire detection bracket 51. The automatic oiler 8 is located at the output end of the powered roller conveyor line 22. The automatic robotic arm 6 is located on one side of the powered roller conveyor line 22 and can move the automatic tire clamp 7 to the powered roller conveyor line 22, the automatic oiler 8, and the wheel hub tire inflation device 3.

[0029] In actual operation, the inclined conveyor slide 21 of this structure is connected at a 35-degree angle from high to low during assembly. It can be inclined from the second floor to the first floor to make the tires move at a uniform speed from top to bottom towards the power roller conveyor line 22, which is convenient and saves on conveying costs.

[0030] Reference Figures 1 to 6 As shown in the diagram, further detailed, the automatic tire clamp 7 includes a clamp power source 71 and a tire clamp 72. The tire clamp 72 is mounted on the rotating end of the automated robotic arm 6 and rotates or remains stationary based on the alignment information fed back by the alignment visual detector 52. The microcontroller 4 is connected to the clamp power source 71, which is mounted on the automated robotic arm 6 and its output end is connected to the tire clamp 72, thereby driving the tire clamp 72 to open and close.

[0031] Furthermore, the automatic oiler 8 includes an oiling frame 81, an oiling power source 82, and an oiling brush 83. The oiling frame 81 is installed at the output end of the tire conveyor roller 2. The oiling brush 83 is connected to an oil supply connector for automatically supplying protective oil. The output end of the oiling power source 82 is connected to the oiling brush 83 to drive the oiling brush 83 to rotate on the oiling frame 81. The microcontroller 4 is connected to the oiling power source 82.

[0032] As the tire moves to the alignment visual detector 52 via the powered roller conveyor 22, the alignment visual detector 52 feeds back the corresponding information to the microcontroller 4 in real time. Subsequently, when the tire is conveyed to the position of the automated robotic arm 6 by the powered roller, one surface of the tire has yellow dots that can be detected by the alignment visual detector 52, while the other surface does not have yellow dots. If the alignment visual detector 52 detects in real time that the designated yellow dot on the tire is in a specific position, the microcontroller 4 controls the automated robotic arm 6 and the automatic tire clamp 7 to operate respectively. The automated robotic arm 6 directly moves the automatic tire clamp 7 to the corresponding position on the tire, and the clamp power source 71 is activated to make the tire clamp 72 close to clamp the tire. Immediately afterwards, the automated robotic arm 6 moves towards the automatic oiler 8 and places the tire at the indicated position of the oiling brush 83. The oiling power source 82 is activated to make the oiling brush 83 apply oil to the inside of the tire. Then, the automated robotic arm 6 places the oiled tire on the wheel hub of the wheel hub tire mounting and inflation device 3 for the tire mounting and inflation process.

[0033] During this process, if the visual detector 52 detects in real time that the designated yellow dot on the tire is not in a specific position, the microcontroller 4 controls the automatic robotic arm 6 to move according to the location of the designated yellow dot detected by the visual detector 52. This causes the automatic robotic arm 6 to move the automatic tire clamp 7 to the corresponding position on the tire. After the automatic tire clamp 7 clamps the tire, the automatic robotic arm 6 drives the automatic tire clamp 7 to rotate, bringing the designated yellow dot to the specific position. Then, the processes of tire oiling, tire handling, tire mounting, and inflation are performed. If the visual detector 52 does not detect the yellow dot on the tire in real time, the automatic robotic arm 6 moves the automatic tire clamp 7 to the corresponding position on the tire, clamps the tire, and moves the tire from the powered roller conveyor line 22 to a tire collection frame on one side.

[0034] By employing the point-to-point visual detector 52, automatic tire clamp 7, automatic robotic arm 6, and automatic oiler 8 of this structure, the uniformity of tire production is effectively improved, and the quality of production is enhanced.

[0035] In addition, the oiling frame 81 is equipped with a collection frame 84 for collecting protective oil, and the collection frame 84 has a recovery hole connected to the oil supply connector.

[0036] The collection frame 84 helps protect the production environment, save processing costs, and ensure product quality.

[0037] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown in the figure, further detailed, the frame 1 is also provided with a hub conveyor belt 9 for placing hubs into the hub tire inflation device 3, and the output end of the hub conveyor belt 9 is provided with a hub transport component 10 for transporting hubs to the hub tire inflation device 3.

[0038] The hub conveyor belt 9 is equipped with positioning blocks 11 for positioning and conveying hubs of different sizes and specifications. The center of the positioning block 11 is provided with at least two different sizes of placement stages 111 distributed from the outside to the inside.

[0039] The hub conveyor belt 9 with this structure can automatically transport hubs and is adaptable to conveying hubs of different sizes and specifications, making it highly versatile.

[0040] Reference Figures 1 to 6 As shown in the diagram, further detailed, the wheel hub tire loading and inflation device 3 includes an automatic rotary table 31, an automatic tire loading component 32, and an automatic inflation component 33. The automatic rotary table 31 has several equally spaced tire loading stations 34 for positioning and placing the wheel hub. The automatic tire loading component 32 and the automatic inflation component 33 are respectively mounted on the frame 1. The automatic rotary table 31 rotates on the frame 1 so that the tire loading stations 34 are sequentially rotated to the automatic tire loading component 32 and the automatic inflation component 33. The microcontroller 4 is connected to the automatic rotary table 31, the automatic tire loading component 32, and the automatic inflation component 33.

[0041] By utilizing the combination of the hub conveyor belt 9, automatic rotary table 31, automatic tire loading component 32, and automatic inflation component 33 in this structure, tire loading and inflation are integrated, resulting in precise assembly, automatic operation, and convenient use. This reduces manual handling, improves assembly efficiency, and enhances tire assembly quality.

[0042] In practical applications, the tire loading station 34 is provided with limiting posts 35 to facilitate the point-to-point placement of the tire on the wheel hub. The limiting posts 35 are distributed on both sides of the tire loading station 34, thereby forming a limiting interval to facilitate the tilting entry of the automatic tire clamp 7.

[0043] With the help of the limiting post 35, the automatic robotic arm 6 can place the tire onto the wheel hub of the designated tire loading station 34, and avoid the tire clamp 72 from being collided, which is reliable and practical.

[0044] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 7As shown in the diagram, further details are provided. The frame 1 is equipped with an automatic finished product output device, which includes an automatic unloading station 12, an output transporter 13, and a finished product output power slide 14. The automatic unloading station 12 is telescopically connected to the tire loading station 34 corresponding to the wheel hub tire loading and inflation device 3. The input end of the finished product output power slide 14 is connected to the output end of the automatic unloading station 12. The output transporter 13 is mounted on the frame 1 and has an automatic transport clamp that can move back and forth between the automatic unloading station 12 and the finished product output power slide 14. The microcontroller 4 is connected to the automatic unloading station 12, the output transporter 13, and the finished product output power slide 14.

[0045] By employing an automatic unloading station 12, an output transporter 13, and a finished product output power slide 14, the wheel hub conveying, wheel hub handling and placement, and finished product output processes are fully automated, reducing manual intervention, improving assembly efficiency, and further enhancing product manufacturing quality.

All structures that are the same as or equivalent to the fully automatic tire inflation production equipment of the present utility model are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
