Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of tire manufacturing technology, and in particular relates to an automatic tire detection and centering device. Background Technology
[0002] Tires are ring-shaped rubber products used on various vehicles or machinery. Tire production typically involves the following processes: mixing, rubber component preparation, extrusion, calendering, bead forming, cord cutting, attaching triangular rubber strips, belt layer forming, tire forming, vulcanization, final inspection, and tire testing. During this production process, tires are randomly placed on the production line, necessitating alignment equipment to ensure they are arranged systematically along the line for easier subsequent processing.
[0003] Most tire alignment devices currently consist of two independent symmetrical mechanisms, with a cylinder on each side. During tire alignment, the cylinders on both sides simultaneously push the pusher head to position the tire via a linkage mechanism. The disadvantage of this structure is that if the synchronization of the left and right cylinders is poor, and there is a minor malfunction in one of the mechanisms, synchronization becomes even more difficult to guarantee, resulting in inconsistent tire positions each time, or poor repeatability.
[0004] Chinese utility model patent application number 200820218313.4 discloses a tire centering mechanism. This mechanism includes a power push-pull rod, with two connecting rods hinged to its outer end, each with its own center line symmetrical about the rod's linear running track. Two tire lever arms are also hinged to the connecting rods. The lever fulcrum of each tire lever arm is symmetrically positioned along the rod's linear running track. This tire centering mechanism uses two symmetrical connecting rods to drive two tire lever arms, each with one end connected to a pivot. These two tire lever arms push the tire towards the center line from the left and right sides. However, this pushing only considers left and right, not forward and backward. Even when the tire has already shifted forward, the angle between the two tire lever arms continues to increase, causing the tire to move further forward. Therefore, true centering cannot be achieved. Utility Model Content
