Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of car model production equipment, and in particular to a printing device for tire products. Background Technology
[0002] Soft polyvinyl chloride (PVC), also known as plasticized PVC, refers to PVC plastic with added plasticizers. The addition of plasticizers improves the plasticity, flowability, softness, and elongation of PVC, enhances its processing performance, and reduces its melt viscosity, glass transition temperature, and elastic modulus. Because soft PVC can effectively simulate the soft texture and elasticity of car tires, making tire models closer to the appearance and feel of real tires and facilitating a direct representation of tire shape, and because it can be manufactured into tires of various shapes through common processing techniques such as molding and injection molding, it can meet the needs of producing car model tires of different sizes and design requirements with high production efficiency. Furthermore, soft PVC is relatively inexpensive compared to some high-end rubber materials, effectively controlling costs and reducing production expenses during large-scale production of car model tires. Therefore, soft PVC is widely used as a raw material for car model tires.
[0003] However, through extensive practice, the inventors discovered that car model tires made of soft PVC material have a problem with poor image adhesion during pad printing. During printing, the tire surface needs to be manually wiped with chemical solvents before being placed in the pad printing machine. On the one hand, the wiping operation significantly affects production efficiency and increases production costs. On the other hand, the labor intensity of the workers is high, which makes it easy to make mistakes and increase the defect rate. Furthermore, the volatilization of chemical solvents will pollute the production environment, endanger the health of on-site workers, and harm the environment. Utility Model Content
[0004] Based on this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a printing device for tire products. By setting a heating unit facing the feed trough and used to heat the tire products on the feed trough, the temperature of the tire products before printing is raised, which makes the molecular components of the PVC tire products active, thereby making the printed graphics adhere firmly. This eliminates the traditional process of manually wiping the surface of the tire products with chemical solvents before printing, improves the mechanization and efficiency of the production process, and avoids the pollution caused by the volatilization of chemical solvents to the production environment and the natural environment.
[0005] A printing device for tire products includes a feeding unit, a feed trough, a heating unit, a movable slide, a tray, and a pad printing machine. One end of the feed trough is connected to the output end of the feeding unit, which feeds tire products to the feed trough. The heating unit is located near the feed trough and heats the tire products on the feed trough. The movable slide includes a sliding platform that slides in the direction extending from the movable slide. The tray is fixed above the sliding platform and is used to support the tire products. The pad printing machine is located on one side of the movable slide. The sliding platform includes a feeding position and at least one pad printing position. In the feeding position, the tray abuts against the feed trough, and in the pad printing position, the pad printing machine prints on the tire products on the tray.
[0006] The tire product printing equipment described in this utility model, by setting up a heating unit facing the feed trough and used to heat the tire products on the feed trough, raises the temperature of the tire products before printing, activates the molecular components of the PVC tire products, and thus makes the printed graphics adhere firmly. This eliminates the traditional process of manually wiping the surface of the tire products with chemical solvents before printing, improves the mechanization and efficiency of the production process, and avoids the pollution caused by the volatilization of chemical solvents to the production environment and the natural environment.
[0007] Furthermore, the heating unit includes a fan and a heating mechanism. The output end of the fan is positioned towards the tire product on the feed trough, and the heating mechanism is located at the input end and / or output end of the fan. The fan blows heat from the heating unit located at its input end and / or output end onto the tire product on the feed trough, causing the temperature of the tire product before printing to rise.
[0008] Furthermore, the heating unit also includes an air inlet duct and / or an air outlet duct. The air inlet duct is connected to the input end of the fan, and the air outlet duct is connected to the output end of the fan and is positioned towards the tire product on the feed trough. The heating mechanism is fixed inside the air inlet duct and / or the air outlet duct. The inclusion of an air inlet duct and / or an air outlet duct facilitates full utilization of the heat from the heating mechanism.
[0009] Furthermore, it also includes a first bracket, which is fixed to the bottom of the movable slide near the end of the feed chute, and the heating unit is fixed to the first bracket. Fixing the heating unit to the first bracket fixes its position, allowing it to continuously blow air onto the tire products on the discharge chute.
[0010] Furthermore, it also includes a baffle, a baffle drive source, a limiting part, and a limiting drive source. The baffle is located at the end of the feed trough near the pallet, and is fixed to the output end of the baffle drive source. The baffle drive source drives the baffle to enter or leave the movement path of the tire products in the feed trough. The limiting part is located at the end of the pallet away from the feed trough, and is fixed to the output end of the limiting drive source. The limiting drive source drives the limiting part to enter or leave the movement path of the tire products on the pallet. When the movable slide is in the feeding position and there are no tire products on the pallet, the baffle leaves the movement path of the tire products, allowing the tire products in the feed trough to move towards the pallet. The limiting part enters the movement path of the tire products, blocking and limiting the tire products moving on the pallet. When the pallet is full of tire products, the baffle enters the path of the tire products, blocking the outlet of the feed trough, stopping the feeding of tire products to the pallet, and preventing the tire products in the feed trough from falling out of the feed trough when the tire products on the pallet are being printed.
[0011] Furthermore, it also includes a clamping drive source, a clamping part, a pressure plate, and a flattening drive source. The clamping drive source is disposed on the sliding platform. The upper part of the clamping part is located above the pallet. The clamping part is fixed to the output end of the clamping drive source. The clamping drive source drives the upper part of the clamping part to clamp or open the tire product on the pallet. The pressure plate is located directly above the pallet when the sliding platform is in the feeding position. The pressure plate is fixed to the output end of the flattening drive source. The flattening drive source drives the pressure plate to move in a direction perpendicular to the pallet. Initially, there are no tires on the pallet. The clamping part opens to a position that does not affect the normal entry of tires onto the pallet. When the pallet is full of tires, the clamping part clamps the tires on the pallet, further ensuring that each batch of tires delivered to the pallet is in the same position. Then, the pressure plate moves toward the pallet, pressing the tires on the pallet toward the top surface of the pallet, so that each tire on the pallet is at the same height, further ensuring that the printing pattern of each batch of tires is similar. After flattening, the pressure plate moves upward, and the clamping part, holding the tires, moves with the sliding platform to the printing position for printing. When it is necessary to remove the printed tires from the pallet, the clamping part releases the tires and opens to a position that does not affect the movement of the tires on the pallet, and moves with the sliding platform to the feeding position.
[0012] Furthermore, it also includes a flipping drive source and a lifting drive source. The clamping part includes a clamping arm fixed to the clamping drive source and a jaw located between the clamping arms and rotatably connected to the clamping arms. The jaw is located above the tray. The flipping drive source is fixed to the clamping arm, and the output end of the flipping drive source is fixed to the jaw. The flipping drive source drives the jaw to rotate. The lifting drive source is fixed to the sliding platform, and the output end of the lifting drive source is arranged facing upwards towards the sliding platform. The output end of the lifting drive source is fixed to the bottom of the tray, or the output end of the lifting drive source is fixed to the clamping drive source. The tire product is flipped using the coordinated action of a flip drive source, a lifting drive source, and a rotatable gripper to meet the double-sided printing requirements of tire products. Specifically, in the scheme where the output end of the lifting drive source is fixed to the pallet, when the tire product needs to be flipped, the lifting drive source lowers the pallet, then the flip drive source drives the gripper to rotate 180° to flip the tire product, and then the lifting drive source raises the pallet until it abuts against the bottom of the tire product to continue printing. In the scheme where the output end of the lifting drive source is fixed to the clamping drive source, when the tire product needs to be flipped, the lifting drive source raises the clamping drive source, the clamping part fixed to the clamping drive source, and the tire product clamped by the clamping part together, then the flip drive source drives the gripper to rotate 180° to flip the tire product, and then the lifting drive source lowers the clamping drive source, the clamping part fixed to the clamping drive source, and the tire product clamped by the clamping part together until the bottom of the tire product abuts against the pallet to continue printing.
[0013] Furthermore, it also includes a discharge trough and a discharge unit, both of which are fixed above the end of the movable slide away from the feed trough. The sliding platform includes a discharge position, in which the pallet abuts against one end of the discharge trough. When the sliding platform is in the discharge position, the discharge unit pushes the tire products on the pallet into the discharge trough. The discharge trough and discharge unit improve the mechanization of the printing equipment and reduce the workload of workers.
[0014] Further, the discharge unit includes a first discharge drive source, a second discharge drive source, and a discharge section. Both the first and second discharge drive sources are located above the pallet. The output end of the first discharge drive source is fixed to the second discharge drive source. The first discharge drive source drives the second discharge drive source to move along the direction of the extending slide. The output end of the second discharge drive source is fixed to the discharge section. The second drive source drives the discharge section to enter or leave the movement path of the tire products on the pallet. After the sliding platform moves to the discharge position, the first discharge drive source drives the second discharge drive source to move towards the direction of the feed trough until the orthographic projection of the discharge section is located between the pallet and the feed trough. Then, the second discharge drive source drives the discharge section to enter the movement path of the tire products on the pallet. At this time, the pallet is located between the discharge section and the feed trough. Then, the first discharge section drives the second discharge section to move towards the discharge trough, causing the discharge section to move towards the discharge trough, thus pushing the tire products on the pallet into the discharge trough.
[0015] Furthermore, it also includes a drying unit, which is positioned close to the discharge trough, with its output end facing the tire products on the discharge trough. The drying unit dries the solvent in the printed patterns on the tire products, improving production efficiency.

The flattening drive source 17 drives the pressure plate 18 to move in a direction perpendicular to the pallet 9. In the initial state, when the moving slide 2 is in the feeding position and there are no tire products on the pallet 9, the two grippers 1102 move away from each other and open to a position that does not affect the normal entry of the tire products into the pallet 9. Then, the material blocking drive source 15 drives the material blocking part 16 away from the movement path of the tire products, so that the tire products in the feeding groove 7 can move towards the pallet 9 under the action of the vibrating plate. At the same time, the limiting drive source 13 drives the limiting part 14 into the movement path of the tire products to block and limit the tire products moving on the pallet 9. When the pallet 9 is full of tire products (in this embodiment, after loading two tire products), the material blocking drive source... 15 Drive the material stop 16 into the path of the tire product, block the outlet of the feed trough 7, stop the feeding of tire products to the pallet 9 and prevent the tire products in the feed trough 7 from falling out of the feed trough 7 when the tire products on the pallet 9 are printed. Then, the clamping drive source 10 drives the two jaws 1102 to clamp the tire products on the pallet 9.

In other embodiments, the heating mechanism may also be fixed inside the inlet duct or a heating mechanism may be provided at both the inlet duct and the outlet duct. The heat from the heating unit 19 located at its input end and / or output end is blown by the fan onto the tire product on the feeding trough 7, causing the temperature of the tire product before printing to rise.

The output end of the second discharge drive source 2102 is fixed to the discharge section 2103. The second drive source drives the discharge section 2103 to enter or leave the movement path of the tire product on the pallet 9. After the sliding platform 202 moves to the discharge position, the gripper 1102 releases the tire product and opens to a position that does not affect the movement of the tire product on the pallet 9. Then, the first discharge drive source 2101 drives the second discharge drive source 2102 to move in the direction of the feed trough 7 until the orthographic projection of the discharge section 2103 is located between the pallet 9 and the feed trough 7. Then, the second discharge drive source 2102 drives the discharge section 2103 to enter the movement path of the tire product on the pallet 9. At this time, the pallet 9 is located between the discharge section 2103 and the feed trough 7. Then, the first discharge section 2103 drives the second discharge section 2103 to move in the direction of the discharge trough 20, causing the discharge section 2103 to move in the direction of the discharge trough 20, so that the discharge section 2103 pushes the tire product on the pallet 9 into the discharge trough 20.
[0035] The air-drying unit is fixed to the second bracket 6 and positioned directly above the discharge trough 20. In this embodiment, the air-drying unit includes a tube 2201, which is closed at both ends. Several exhaust nozzles 2202 communicating with the interior of the tube 2201 are provided at the bottom of the tube 2201. An air inlet 2203 communicating with the interior of the tube 2201 is provided at the top of the tube 2201. An external air supply device (such as an air pump) is used to supply air to the tube 2201 from the air inlet 2203, so that the gas is blown out from the several exhaust nozzles 2202 below the tube 2201, thereby accelerating the drying of the solvent in the printed pattern of the tire product and improving production efficiency.
[0036] This invention provides a printing device for tire products. By incorporating a heating unit 19 positioned towards the feed trough 7 and used to heat the tire products on the feed trough 7, the temperature of the tire products before printing rises, activating the molecular components of the PVC tire products. This results in a more stable adhesion of the printed image, eliminating the traditional step of manually wiping the tire product surface with chemical solvents before printing. This improves the mechanization and efficiency of the production process and avoids pollution to the production and natural environments caused by the volatilization of chemical solvents. Furthermore, this invention also boasts advantages such as high mechanization and high production efficiency.
[0037] In one embodiment, the output end of the lifting drive source 8 can also be fixed to the clamping drive source 10. When the tire product needs to be flipped, the lifting drive source 8 lifts the clamping drive source 10, the clamping part 11, and the tire product clamped by the clamping part 11 together. Then, the flipping drive source 12 drives the jaw 1102 to rotate 180° to flip the tire product. Then, the lifting drive source 8 lowers the clamping drive source 10, the clamping part 11, and the tire product clamped by the clamping part 11 together to the bottom of the tire product and abut against the pallet 9 to continue printing on the tire product.
[0038] The embodiments described above are merely examples of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent.
