Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tire forming technology, specifically to a pressure roller for tire forming. Background Technology

[0002] The tire carcass is typically composed of multiple layers of fabric, which are tightly pressed together by pressure rollers. In tire manufacturing, pressure rollers come into direct contact with viscous materials such as rubber and asphalt, and material residue can easily accumulate in the gaps between the multiple rollers. If cleaning is not thorough, the accumulation of residue can affect the pressing accuracy and even contaminate tire components processed later. Cleaning the multiple pressure rollers is a crucial step in ensuring pressing accuracy, extending their service life, and preventing material contamination.

[0003] Existing cleaning methods require first disconnecting the power and air supply to the pressure roller system. After the rollers have come to a complete stop, operators wearing full protective gear (gloves, goggles, etc.) first scrape off large pieces of tar from multiple rollers one by one, then brush away loose dust and debris. The entire process is cumbersome and inefficient because it requires strict adherence to shutdown, protective measures, and step-by-step cleaning procedures. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a pressure roller for tire forming, which has a simple structure, is easy to use, and significantly improves the cleaning efficiency of the pressure roller.

The cleaning mechanism includes: a drive roller, corresponding to the pressure roller, for driving the pressure roller to rotate; a lifting frame, for mounting the drive roller, and slidably connected to the bracket; and a cleaning component, mounted on the lifting frame. When the lifting frame is driven to move downward, it drives the drive roller to press against the pressure roller to drive it to rotate, and at the same time drives the cleaning component to closely adhere to the outer surface of the rotating pressure roller to achieve dynamic cleaning.

[0006] Preferably, the lifting frame includes: a mounting frame located above the pressure roller for mounting the drive roller, the mounting frame being slidably connected to the bracket via a slide rod; and a connecting member located on the side of the pressure roller and fixedly connected to the mounting frame for mounting the cleaning components.

[0007] Preferably, the cleaning component includes: a collection trough fixed to the connector, the cross-section of which is U-shaped; and a scraper located on the side of the pressure roller and having a length greater than the length of the pressure roller, fixed to the U-shaped bottom surface of the collection trough.

[0008] Preferably, the cleaning assembly further includes a brush located below the scraper.

[0009] Preferably, the scraper is inclined relative to the horizontal plane to form a guide slope, so that the scraped material is thrown into the collection trough tangentially along the slope.

[0010] Preferably, both ends of the scraper are provided with locking blocks, and the side wall of the collection trough is provided with locking slots corresponding to the locking blocks. The locking blocks and locking slots cooperate to achieve a detachable connection between the scraper and the collection trough. The brush is connected to the collection trough by bolts, and the brush is located on the bottom surface of the collection trough.

[0011] Preferably, the surface of the drive roller is provided with anti-slip texture.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the above-mentioned technical solution of this utility model has the following beneficial technical effects:

[0013] In this invention, the drive roller on the lifting frame synchronously drives multiple rollers in the pressure roller to rotate synchronously, and together with the scraper and brush, completes the coarse cleaning and fine cleaning operations in sequence. At the same time, the collection trough automatically collects the cleaning residue, realizing an automated cleaning process.

[0021] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0022] Example 1

[0023] like Figures 1-4 As shown, the present invention proposes a tire forming roller, including a bracket 1 and a roller 2 mounted on the bracket 1, and a cleaning mechanism 3 mounted on the bracket 1 for cleaning the roller 2. The cleaning mechanism 3 includes a drive roller 304, a lifting frame, and a cleaning component 4. The lifting frame is slidably connected to the bracket 1, and the drive roller 304 is rotatably connected to the lifting frame. The lifting frame is equipped with a drive motor for providing a power source to the drive roller 304. The cleaning component 4 is mounted on the lifting frame. When the lifting frame is driven to move downward, it drives the drive roller 304 to press against the roller 2 to drive it to rotate, and at the same time drives the cleaning component 4 to closely adhere to the outer surface of the rotating roller 2 to achieve dynamic cleaning.

[0024] Furthermore, the outer peripheral surface of the drive roller 304 is provided with anti-slip texture 305 to increase the friction between the drive roller 304 and the pressure roller 2;

[0025] The lifting frame includes a mounting frame 301 and a connector 306. The mounting frame 301 is provided with a slide rod 302, and the mounting frame 301 is slidably connected to the bracket 1 through the slide rod 302. The bracket 1 is provided with a telescopic cylinder 303 for driving the mounting frame 301 to slide. The cylinder body of the telescopic cylinder 303 is fixedly installed on the bracket 1, and the piston rod of the telescopic cylinder 303 is connected to the mounting frame 301. The mounting frame 301 is located above the pressure roller 2 and is used to install the drive roller 304. The connector 306 is fixedly connected to the mounting frame 301 and is used to install the cleaning component 4, which is located on the side of the pressure roller 2.

[0026] The cleaning component 4 includes a collection trough 401, a scraper 402, and a brush 403. The collection trough 401 is fixed to the connector 306 and has a U-shaped cross-section. The scraper 402 is fixed to the U-shaped bottom surface of the collection trough 401. The scraper 402 is located on the side of the pressure roller 2 and its length is greater than the length of the pressure roller 2. The brush 403 is located below the scraper 402 and is connected to the collection trough 401 by bolts. The brush 403 is located on the bottom surface of the collection trough 401.

[0027] Furthermore, the scraper 402 is inclined relative to the horizontal plane to form a guide slope, so that the scraped material is thrown into the collection trough 401 tangentially along the slope.

[0028] Working principle: In the initial state, the lifting frame is in the standby position above the pressure roller 2. When the cleaning program is started, the lifting frame drives the drive roller 304 and the cleaning component 4 to descend synchronously, so that the drive roller 304 presses against the outer surface of the pressure roller 2, and at the same time, the scraper 402 is in close contact with the surface of the pressure roller 2. The rotation of the drive roller 304 drives each roller in the pressure roller 2 to rotate synchronously, and the scraper 402 component scrapes off the solid rubber material on the surface of the roller, and the rubber material slides into the collection trough 401 along the inclined scraper 402. After the scraper 402 has finished removing large pieces of rubber material, the brush 403 below the scraper 402 performs fine cleaning on the outer surface of the pressure roller 2 mechanism to remove residual dust and small rubber particles. This design realizes the dual-mode collaborative operation of hard scraping and soft cleaning, and the waste material is collected and processed automatically throughout the process, which significantly improves cleaning efficiency and the quality of the working environment.

[0029] Example 2

[0030] like Figure 4 As shown, the present invention proposes a tire forming roller. Compared with the first embodiment, the scraper 402 in this embodiment is provided with a locking block 406 at both ends, and the side wall of the material collection trough 401 is provided with a locking groove 405 corresponding to the locking block 406. The locking block 406 and the locking groove 405 cooperate to achieve a detachable connection between the scraper 402 and the material collection trough 401.

[0031] In this embodiment, the block and the slot 405 are connected to realize the detachable connection between the scraper 402 and the collection trough 401. This detachable connection structure makes it easy to replace the scraper 402 when the blade edge wears to the limit of use, ensuring that the cleaning effect is always maintained at the best state.

[0032] Example 3

[0033] like Figures 3-4 As shown, the present invention proposes a tire forming pressure roller. Compared with the first embodiment, the material collection trough 401 in this embodiment is equipped with a negative pressure fan, or is connected to an external fan through a duct. The material collection trough 401 is equipped with a filter plate 404, which is located at the air inlet of the fan.

[0034] The negative pressure airflow generated by the fan draws the scraped adhesive and dust into the collection trough 401, where they are filtered by the filter plate 404 to collect the waste. This ensures that the cleanliness of the working environment meets industrial hygiene standards. The entire system operates stably and reliably and can effectively handle the waste generated during the cleaning process.

[0035] The foregoing description only illustrates certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention. Undoubtedly, those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the above drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
