Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tire manufacturing technology, specifically to a tire forming device with an automatic rubber splice. Background Technology

[0002] In tire manufacturing, the application of the rubber backing is a crucial step, directly impacting tire performance and lifespan. Traditional tire forming equipment often relies on manual or semi-automated operation to transfer the rubber backing onto the forming drum, presenting several problems. First, manual handling and application of the backing is inefficient, labor-intensive, and struggles to guarantee precision and consistency, leading to defects such as backing misalignment and wrinkles, thus affecting tire forming quality. Second, while semi-automated equipment can improve efficiency to some extent, it typically only provides basic rubber transport and cannot automatically complete cutting and application, still requiring manual adjustment, which fails to meet the demands of large-scale, high-precision tire production. Furthermore, existing equipment lacks effective traction and positioning devices during backing transport, resulting in inaccurate alignment when the backing is delivered to the forming drum, further exacerbating the application difficulties. This limits the automation level of the entire tire forming process, hindering significant increases in production efficiency and product quality assurance, thus restricting technological progress and development in the tire manufacturing industry.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0022] Example

[0023] like Figures 1-3 As shown, a tire forming apparatus with automatic jointing of rubber padding includes a frame 1 and a feeding roller 2 disposed on the frame 1. The feeding roller 2 is used to store rubber padding. The apparatus also includes a conveying component 3 disposed on the frame 1 for conveying rubber padding. An automatic cutting component 4 is disposed above the conveying component 3 on the frame 1 for cutting rubber padding.

[0024] A tire forming drum 5 is rotatably mounted on the frame 1 along the conveying direction of the conveying assembly 3 and located after the conveying assembly 3. The tire forming drum 5 is located below the conveying assembly 3. The frame also includes a material head traction assembly 6 located on the conveying assembly 3 along the conveying direction of the conveying assembly 3. The material head traction assembly 6 includes a mounting base 7. A first telescopic rod 8 and a first drive unit 9 for driving the first telescopic rod 8 to extend and retract are provided on the mounting base 7. Several suction cups 10 are provided on the telescopic end of the first telescopic rod 8. The suction cups 10 are used to absorb the padding adhesive cut by the automatic cutting assembly 4 and move the padding adhesive to the tire forming drum 5.

[0025] This embodiment includes a frame 1 and a feeding roller 2 mounted on the frame 1, which stores the adhesive padding. It also includes a conveying assembly 3 mounted on the frame 1 for conveying the adhesive padding. Above the conveying assembly 3, on the frame 1, is an automatic cutting assembly 4 for cutting the adhesive padding. A tire forming drum 5 is rotatably mounted on the frame 1, following the conveying direction of the conveying assembly 3, and located below the conveying assembly 3. Furthermore, it includes a material traction assembly 6 mounted on the conveying assembly 3, along the conveying direction. The material traction assembly 6 includes a mounting base 7, on which is mounted a first telescopic rod 8 and a first driving unit 9 for driving the first telescopic rod 8 to extend and retract. Several suction cups 10 are mounted on the telescopic end of the first telescopic rod 8, which are used to absorb the adhesive padding cut by the automatic cutting assembly 4 and move it onto the tire forming drum 5. This achieves automatic cutting, conveying, and precise bonding of the adhesive padding, effectively solving the problem in the prior art where the padding cannot be automatically bonded after being moved onto the tire forming drum 5. Its technical effects are significant. First, the automatic cutting component 4 can accurately cut the padding material, ensuring the accuracy of the cutting size and providing a good foundation for subsequent bonding work. Second, the suction cup 10 design of the material head traction component 6 can stably adsorb the cut padding material, and through the extension and retraction of the first telescopic rod 8, the padding material is accurately moved to the tire forming drum 5. The whole process does not require manual intervention, which greatly improves production efficiency and bonding accuracy, and ensures the quality and consistency of tire forming.

[0026] Furthermore, it also includes a tire barrel circumference detection device 11 installed on the mounting base 7. The tire barrel circumference detection device 11 includes a roller 12 and an encoder 13. The roller 12 is used to abut against the tire barrel installed on the tire forming drum 5. After the tire forming drum 5 rotates once, the encoder 13 transmits the measurement signal to the automatic cutting component 4 for cutting.

[0027] In this embodiment, to further improve the accuracy of the rubber pad cutting and ensure its circumference matches the tire barrel on the tire forming drum 5, the tire forming device with automatic rubber pad splicing also includes a tire barrel circumference detection device 11 mounted on the mounting base 7. This tire barrel circumference detection device 11 consists of a roller 12 and an encoder 13. The roller 12 abuts against the tire barrel mounted on the tire forming drum 5. When the tire forming drum 5 rotates one revolution, the roller 12 rotates accordingly, and the encoder 13 transmits the measured signal to the automatic cutting component 4. Based on the received signal, the automatic cutting component 4 precisely cuts the rubber pad to a length consistent with the tire barrel circumference, thereby achieving automation and precision in rubber pad cutting, further improving the quality and efficiency of tire forming.

[0028] Furthermore, the conveying assembly 3 includes a conveyor belt mounted on the frame 1 and a second drive unit 14 for driving the conveyor belt to rotate.

[0029] In this embodiment, the conveying assembly 3 of the tire forming device with automatic rubber mat splicing includes a conveyor belt mounted on the frame 1 and a second drive unit 14 for driving the conveyor belt to rotate. The conveyor belt is made of high-strength, wear-resistant material, which can stably convey the rubber mat and ensure that the rubber mat does not shift or slip during the conveying process. The second drive unit 14 provides power to the conveyor belt, and by precisely controlling the rotation speed of the conveyor belt, the conveying speed of the rubber mat can be accurately adjusted, thereby better matching the subsequent cutting and bonding processes, further improving the automation level and production efficiency of the entire device.

[0030] Furthermore, the frame 1 is also provided with a vertical pole 15 perpendicular to the conveying direction of the conveying assembly 3, and the frame 1 is also provided with a lifting assembly 16. The lifting assembly 16 includes a rotating wheel 17 and a traction rope 18 for winding around the rotating wheel 17, and also includes a third drive unit 19 provided on the frame 1 for driving the rotating wheel 17 to rotate. After the rotating wheel 17 rotates, it is used to retract or release the traction rope 18.

[0031] A mounting frame 20 is also provided on the upright 15, and the bottom of the mounting frame 20 is hinged to the top of the upright 15 at one end near the feeding roller 2. The conveyor belt is mounted on the frame 1 through the mounting frame 20 and the upright 15. The top of the mounting frame 20 is located near the tire forming drum 5, and the pull rope 18 is fixed to the side away from the rotating wheel 17. After the pull rope 18 is retracted or released, it is used to drive one end of the conveyor belt to approach or move away from the tire forming drum 5.

[0032] In this embodiment, a vertical pole 15 perpendicular to the conveying direction of the conveying assembly 3 is provided on the frame 1 for supporting and adjusting the position of the conveyor belt. Furthermore, a lifting assembly 16 is also provided on the frame 1. This lifting assembly 16 includes a rotating wheel 17 and a pull rope 18 wound around the rotating wheel 17, as well as a third drive unit 19 provided on the frame 1 for driving the rotating wheel 17 to rotate. When the third drive unit 19 drives the rotating wheel 17 to rotate, the pull rope 18 is retracted or released, thereby adjusting the position of the conveyor belt. A mounting frame 20 is provided on the vertical pole 15. The bottom end of the mounting frame 20 near the feeding roller 2 is hinged to the top of the vertical pole 15, allowing the mounting frame 20 to rotate around the hinge point at a certain angle. The conveyor belt is mounted on the frame 1 via the mounting frame 20 and the vertical pole 15. The top end of the mounting frame 20 near the tire forming drum 5 is fixedly connected to the end of the pull rope 18 away from the rotating wheel 17. By retracting or releasing the pull rope 18, one end of the conveyor belt can be moved closer to or away from the tire forming drum 5, thereby achieving precise adjustment of the distance between the conveyor belt and the tire forming drum 5. This design allows the conveyor belt to be flexibly adjusted according to different production needs and the size of the tire forming drum 5, further improving the adaptability and ease of operation of the device. When the suction cup 10 needs to place the padding material head onto the tire forming drum 5, the pull rope 18 is released, causing the conveyor belt and the suction cup 10 to move closer to the tire forming drum 5 together to complete the operation.

[0033] Furthermore, the automatic cutting assembly 4 includes a mounting plate 21 disposed on the frame 1, a cutting blade 22 slidably disposed on the mounting plate 21, and a fourth drive unit for driving the cutting blade 22 to slide on the mounting plate 21.

[0034] In this embodiment, the tire forming device with automatic rubber mat splicing further optimizes the structure of the automatic cutting component 4. The automatic cutting component 4 includes a mounting plate 21 mounted on the frame 1. The mounting plate 21 is made of high-strength aluminum alloy, providing excellent stability and durability. A cutting blade 22 is slidably mounted on the mounting plate 21, connected to the mounting plate 21 via a slide rail, allowing for smooth movement along the rail and ensuring the accuracy of the cutting process. Furthermore, a fourth drive unit is also provided on the mounting plate 21 to drive the cutting blade 22 to slide on the mounting plate 21. The fourth drive unit uses a high-precision servo motor, capable of precisely controlling the movement distance of the cutting blade 22 according to a preset cutting length, thereby achieving precise cutting of the rubber mat. This design not only improves cutting efficiency but also ensures cutting quality, providing a strong guarantee for subsequent rubber mat bonding.

[0035] Furthermore, the cutting blade 22 is inclinedly mounted on the mounting plate 21.

[0036] In this embodiment, the automatic cutting component 4 of the tire forming device with automatic rubber mat splicing further optimizes the setting of the cutting blade 22. The cutting blade 22 is inclined on the mounting plate 21, specifically, the cutting blade 22 forms a certain angle with the horizontal plane of the mounting plate 21. This inclined setting allows the cutting blade 22 to cut into the material more smoothly when cutting the rubber mat, reducing resistance during the cutting process, thereby improving cutting efficiency and cutting quality. At the same time, the inclined cutting blade 22 can better adapt to rubber mat materials of different thicknesses, ensuring the neatness and consistency of the cut edges, further improving the applicability and reliability of the entire device.

[0037] Furthermore, a pressing roller 23 is rotatably mounted on the mounting base 7, which is used to abut against the tire barrel located on the tire forming drum 5.

[0038] In this embodiment, a pressing roller 23 is rotatably mounted on the mounting base 7 of the tire forming device with automatic rubber splicing. The pressing roller 23 is used to abut against the tire barrel located on the tire forming drum 5. Through the rolling pressure of the pressing roller 23, it can be ensured that the cut rubber is flat and tightly attached to the surface of the tire barrel, effectively avoiding wrinkles or air bubbles in the rubber during the forming process, and further improving the quality and stability of tire forming.

[0039] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
