Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tire processing technology, specifically a clamping mechanism for tire mold processing. Background Technology

[0002] Automotive tire molds are specialized tools used to manufacture automobile tires. They play a crucial role in the tire production process. Generally, passenger car tire molds have a diameter between 500 mm and 800 mm, while commercial vehicle tire molds can have a diameter of 1500 mm or even larger. Tire molds are required during tire manufacturing to ensure that the tire's size, tread pattern, and overall performance meet design requirements.

[0003] Tire mold processing is a complex and precise process involving multiple technological steps to ensure the quality and performance of the final product. During the tire mold processing, high-strength steel needs to be cut to cut large steel raw materials into small pieces or parts of specific shapes suitable for processing. During the cutting process, clamping mechanisms are needed to clamp and fix the steel to keep it stable during the cutting process.

[0004] Existing clamping mechanisms use two clamping plates to move towards the steel to clamp and fix it. However, when the steel is clamped by only two clamping plates, the contact area between the clamping plates and the steel is small, which reduces the clamping effect of the clamping mechanism. Therefore, we propose a clamping mechanism for tire mold processing. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a clamping mechanism for tire mold processing to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a clamping mechanism for tire mold processing, comprising a band saw cutter, a control console disposed on the front side of the band saw cutter, and a processing table mounted on the band saw cutter.

[0007] Preferably, the drive assembly includes a hydraulic rod, which is fixedly connected inside the processing table. A connecting plate is fixedly connected to the drive end of the hydraulic rod. Two rotating plates are rotatably connected inside the connecting plate. A mounting plate is rotatably connected to one side surface of the rotating plate. The top of the mounting plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the clamping block. A support assembly is provided on the top of the connecting plate.

[0008] Preferably, the support assembly includes two mounting shafts, which are fixedly connected to the top of the connecting plate. A movable shaft is slidably connected inside the mounting shaft. A support plate is fixedly connected to one end of the movable shaft.

[0009] Preferably, a support shaft is fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the clamping block, the support shaft is slidably connected inside the moving block, and a spring is sleeved on the surface of the support shaft, the spring abutting against the side of the clamping block and the moving block facing each other.

[0010] Preferably, two sliders are fixedly connected to the surface of the mounting plate, and multiple evenly distributed grooves are provided inside the processing table, with the sliders slidably connected inside the grooves.

[0011] Preferably, two limiting blocks are fixedly connected to the surface of the movable shaft, and two limiting grooves are opened inside the mounting shaft, with the limiting blocks slidably connected inside the limiting grooves.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: the clamping assembly drives the connecting plate to rise and fall through the hydraulic rod, which drives the rotating plate to rotate, so that the two clamping blocks move towards each other to achieve initial clamping. At the same time, the steel pushes the moving block to move. Through the meshing transmission of the rack and gear, the clamping plate can rotate and come into contact with the steel, thereby increasing the contact area with the steel and providing a more stable clamping.

A moving block 6 is slidably connected to the middle of the inner cavity of the clamping block 2. A rack 8 is fixedly connected to the top of the moving block 6. A rotating shaft 9 is rotatably connected to the top of the inner cavity of the clamping block 2. A gear 7 and a clamping plate 3 are fixedly connected to the outer periphery of the rotating shaft 9. The gear 7 meshes with the rack 8. A drive assembly is provided inside the processing table 4.

[0022] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 3 The diagram shows that the machining table 4 is equipped with a drive assembly, which includes a hydraulic rod 11. The hydraulic rod 11 is fixedly connected inside the machining table 4. The telescopic end of the hydraulic rod 11 can extend and retract, thereby driving the connecting plate 15 to move. The driving end of the hydraulic rod 11 is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 15. Two rotating plates 16 are rotatably connected inside the connecting plate 15. A mounting plate 12 is rotatably connected to one side surface of the rotating plate 16. The top of the mounting plate 12 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the clamping block 2. During the movement of the connecting plate 15, it can drive the two rotating plates 16 to rotate, thereby driving the mounting plate 12 and the clamping block 2 to move.

[0023] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown in the figure, a support assembly is provided on the top of the connecting plate 15. The support assembly includes two mounting shafts 10, which are fixedly connected to the top of the connecting plate 15. A movable shaft 20 is slidably connected inside the mounting shaft 10. A support plate 19 is fixedly connected to one end of the movable shaft 20. The support plate 19 can support the steel to enhance its stability. A second spring 21 is provided inside the mounting shaft 10. The top end of the second spring 21 abuts against the bottom end of the movable shaft 20. The second spring 21 can absorb the impact of the steel on the processing table 4.

[0024] Please see Figure 4As shown in the figure, a support shaft 18 is fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the clamping block 2. The support shaft 18 is slidably connected inside the moving block 6. A spring 17 is sleeved on the surface of the support shaft 18. The spring 17 abuts against the side of the clamping block 2 and the moving block 6 facing each other. When it is not necessary to clamp the steel, the spring 17 can push the moving block 6 to move out of the clamping block 2, thereby resetting the clamping plate 3.

[0025] Please see Figure 3 In the figure, two sliders 13 are fixedly connected to the surface of the mounting plate 12. The processing table 4 has multiple evenly distributed grooves 14 inside. The sliders 13 are slidably connected inside the grooves 14. The sliders 13 can restrict the movement of the mounting plate 12 by sliding inside the grooves 14.

[0026] Please see Figure 5 As shown in the figure, two limiting blocks 23 are fixedly connected to the surface of the movable shaft 20, and two limiting grooves 22 are opened inside the mounting shaft 10.

[0027] Working principle: When using the band saw cutting machine 1 to cut steel, the steel can be placed on the top side of the processing table 4 and supported by two support plates 19. Then, by activating the hydraulic rod 11, the extension end of the hydraulic rod 11 is extended, which drives the connecting plate 15 to move upward. During the movement of the connecting plate 15, the two rotating plates 16 are rotated, and the two rotating plates 16 drive the two mounting plates 12 to move. This causes the two mounting plates 12 to drive the two clamping blocks 2 to move towards each other, thereby achieving the function of clamping and fixing the steel. During the clamping process of the clamping blocks 2, the steel pushes the moving block 6 into the interior of the clamping block 2. During the movement of the moving block 6, the rack 8 is moved. During the movement of the rack 8, the gear 7 rotates, which drives the clamping plate 3 to rotate around the rotating shaft 9 towards the steel, thereby increasing the clamping area of ​​the steel and enhancing the clamping effect of the clamping mechanism. Then, the steel can be cut by the band saw cutting machine 1.
