Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vulcanization equipment technology, specifically to a tire storage device with interconnected internal and external supports. Background Technology
[0002] Before the tire blank is fed into the vulcanizing machine for vulcanization, it generally needs to be placed on a tire holder for easy handling by a robotic arm. The existing tire holders mainly consist of a tray and inner and outer supports on the tray. Typically, the inner support is fixed to the tray, while the outer support can be adjusted radially. This type of tire holder cannot adapt to working conditions with large differences in rim diameter. In addition, some tire holders have radially adjustable inner and outer supports. However, multiple inner or outer supports cannot be adjusted in unison, which makes the actual operation not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also results in inaccurate adjustments.
