Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tire processing technology, and in particular to an automated tire vulcanization device. Background Technology

[0002] Tires are key components in many transportation vehicles, including automobiles and construction machinery, and their quality directly affects driving safety and equipment performance. The vulcanization process plays a central role in tire manufacturing. It enables rubber molecules to form a three-dimensional network structure through cross-linking reactions, giving tires excellent wear resistance, strength, elasticity, and aging resistance, significantly improving their overall quality and lifespan. According to relevant research, tires treated with high-quality vulcanization can have their wear resistance increased by 30%-50% and their fatigue life extended by 2-3 times.

[0003] In the existing technology, when manufacturing and processing tires, a vulcanizing device is required to perform high-temperature vulcanization to improve the physical properties of the tires. However, after the traditional vulcanizing device completes the vulcanization process, the workers need to manually remove the tires from the mold. This not only increases the labor intensity of the workers, but also seriously affects the efficiency of the tire vulcanization process, greatly reducing the practicality of the vulcanizing device. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problem of low processing efficiency in the vulcanization process of the above-mentioned equipment, which requires manual removal of the vulcanized tires from the mold. Therefore, an automated tire vulcanization device is proposed.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: an automated tire vulcanizing device, including a conveying mechanism, wherein a top ejection mechanism is provided on the top of the conveying mechanism;

[0006] The ejection mechanism includes a mounting platform, an mounting groove on the outer wall of the mounting platform, a telescopic rod fixedly mounted on the bottom of the inner wall of the mounting groove, a fixed plate fixedly mounted on the telescopic end of the telescopic rod, four limiting rods fixedly mounted between the inner walls of the mounting groove, and the outer walls of the limiting rods are movably connected to the inner walls of the fixed plate, four ejector rods fixedly mounted on the top of the fixed plate, and a lower mold fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the mounting platform.

[0007] The conveying mechanism includes a base plate, a mounting frame is fixedly installed on the top of the base plate, and a mechanical claw is fixedly installed on the top of the mounting frame.

[0008] Preferably, four limiting posts are fixedly installed on the top of the mounting platform, and two mounting boxes are fixedly installed on the top of the mounting platform. A second motor is fixedly installed on one side of the outer wall of one of the two mounting boxes. A first gear is fixedly sleeved on the output end of the second motor. A lead screw is movably inserted into the inner surface wall of one of the two mounting boxes. A second gear is fixedly sleeved on the outer surface wall of the lead screw, and the outer surface wall of the second gear meshes with the outer surface wall of the first gear.

[0009] Preferably, the inner walls of both mounting boxes are movably fitted with movable plates, and the inner wall of one of the movable plates is connected to the outer wall of the lead screw by a thread. Two of the four limiting posts are movably connected to the inner wall of the movable plate, and an upper mold is fixedly installed between the outer walls of the two movable plates.

[0010] Preferably, the outer wall of the mounting frame has multiple sets of insertion slots, and conveying rollers are movably inserted between the inner walls of the multiple sets of insertion slots. The outer walls of the multiple conveying rollers are fixedly fitted with transmission wheels, and the outer walls of the multiple transmission wheels are meshed with chains. The outer wall of the mounting frame has multiple ventilation slots.

[0011] Preferably, a first motor is fixedly installed on one side of the outer wall of the mounting frame, and the output end of the first motor is fixedly connected to the outer wall of one of the conveying rollers.

[0013] Preferably, the top of the base plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the mounting platform.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0015] In use, after the tire has completed vulcanization, the mold moves to a suitable position. The telescopic rod pushes the fixed plate upwards, and the limiting rod ensures smooth lifting and lowering. The upward movement of the fixed plate drives the ejector rod upwards, separating the top of the vulcanized tire from the lower mold. Then, a mechanical gripper clamps and removes the ejected tire.

[0024] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0025] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed in the following specification.

[0026] Example 1: As Figures 1-4 As shown, this utility model provides an automated tire vulcanizing device, including a conveying mechanism 1, and an ejection mechanism 2 is provided on the top of the conveying mechanism 1;

[0027] The ejection mechanism 2 includes a mounting platform 21. The outer wall of the mounting platform 21 has a mounting groove 211. A telescopic rod 212 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the inner wall of the mounting groove 211. A fixing plate 213 is fixedly installed at the telescopic end of the telescopic rod 212. Four limiting rods 214 are fixedly installed between the inner walls of the mounting groove 211, and the outer walls of the limiting rods 214 are movably connected to the inner wall of the fixing plate 213. Four ejector rods 215 are fixedly installed on the top of the fixing plate 213. A lower mold 22 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the mounting platform 21. The conveying mechanism 1 includes a base plate 11. A mounting frame 12 is fixedly installed on the top of the base plate 11. A mechanical claw 14 is fixedly installed on the top of the mounting frame 12. Four limiting posts 23 are fixedly installed on the top of the mounting platform 21. Two mounting boxes 24 are fixedly installed. A second motor 241 is fixedly installed on one side of the outer wall of one of the mounting boxes 24. A first gear 242 is fixedly sleeved on the output end of the second motor 241. A lead screw 243 is movably inserted into the inner wall of one of the mounting boxes 24. A second gear 244 is fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the lead screw 243, and the outer wall of the second gear 244 meshes with the outer wall of the first gear 242. Movable plates 245 are movably embedded in the inner walls of both mounting boxes 24. The inner wall of one of the movable plates 245 is connected to the outer wall of the lead screw 243 by a thread. Two of the four limiting posts 23 are movably connected to the inner wall of the movable plate 245. An upper mold 246 is fixedly installed between the outer walls of the two movable plates 245.

[0028] The overall effect of Embodiment 1 is as follows: when the tire needs to be vulcanized, the processed tire is placed into the lower mold 22 by an external conveying device. Then, under the action of the second motor 241, the first gear 242 is rotated, and simultaneously, under the action of the second gear 244, the lead screw 243 is rotated. The rotation of the lead screw 243 drives the movable plate 245 and the upper mold 246 to move downward, so that the upper mold 246 and the lower mold 22 are merged. Subsequently, the mold is heated by electric heating or steam heating, so that the heat is transferred to the surface of the tire, causing the rubber molecules inside to undergo a cross-linking reaction, forming a stable elastic network structure, thereby... After the tire vulcanization process is completed, the movable plate 245 and the upper mold 246 are moved upward to a suitable position by the cooperation of the second motor 241, the first gear 242, the lead screw 243, and the second gear 244. Then, under the action of the telescopic rod 212 and the limiting rod 214, the fixed plate 213 moves upward stably. Under the action of the top rod 215, the top of the tire that has been vulcanized inside the lower mold 22 is picked up by the mechanical claw 14 and prevented from being transported to other mechanisms. By using the above method, manual operation can be reduced after the tire vulcanization process is completed, which greatly reduces the labor intensity of the workers.

[0029] Example 2: As Figures 2-4 As shown, the outer wall of the mounting frame 12 has multiple sets of insertion slots 121. Conveyor rollers 122 are movably inserted between the inner walls of each set of insertion slots 121. Drive wheels 123 are fixedly fitted onto the outer walls of each set of conveyor rollers 122. Chains 124 mesh between the outer walls of the drive wheels 123. The outer wall of the mounting frame 12 has multiple ventilation slots 125. A first motor 13 is fixedly installed on one side of the outer wall of the mounting frame 12, and the output end of the first motor 13 is connected to one of the conveyor rollers 122. The outer wall of the mounting bracket 12 is fixedly connected, and two fixing brackets 15 are fixedly installed between the inner wall of the mounting bracket 12. A fan 151 is fixedly installed on one side of the outer wall of each of the two fixing brackets 15. A mounting plate 16 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the mounting bracket 12. A cooling pipe 161 is provided on the top of the mounting plate 16. A cooling device 162 is fixedly installed on the top of the mounting plate 16, and the outer wall of the cooling device 162 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the cooling pipe 161. The top of the base plate 11 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the mounting platform 21.

[0030] The overall effect of Embodiment 2 is that when a tire that has undergone vulcanization is placed on the surface of the conveyor roller 122, the conveyor roller 122 is driven to rotate by the first motor 13, the transmission wheel 123, and the chain 124, thereby conveying the tire. During the conveying process, the air inside the mounting frame 12 can circulate rapidly through the fan 151, the ventilation slot 125, and the slots opened on the outer wall of the mounting plate 16. As the air rapidly passes through the slots opened on the outer wall of the mounting plate 16, it is cooled by the circulation pump inside the cooling device 162. The cooling water inside the cooling pipe 161 can circulate and absorb heat from the passing air to cool it down. Then, the cooling water moves into the cooling device 162, where it is cooled by the fan and semiconductor heat dissipation device. This allows the cooling water to continuously cool the passing air for a long time. Then, the cooled air is delivered to the tire surface by the fan 151, thus achieving the initial cooling treatment of the tire. This makes the tire easier to process in subsequent steps and greatly improves the practicality of the vulcanizing device.

[0031] Working Principle: When a tire needs vulcanization, the processed tire is placed into the lower mold 22 via an external conveying device. Then, the second motor 241 drives the first gear 242 to rotate, and the second gear 244 drives the lead screw 243 to rotate. The rotation of the lead screw 243 causes the movable plate 245 and the upper mold 246 to move downwards, merging the upper mold 246 and the lower mold 22. The mold is then heated using electric or steam heating, transferring heat to the tire surface and causing the rubber molecules inside to undergo a cross-linking reaction, forming a stable elastic network structure, thus completing the vulcanization process. Next, with the cooperation of the second motor 241, the first gear 242, the lead screw 243, and the second gear 244, the movable plate 245 and the upper mold 246 are moved upwards to a suitable position. Then, under the action of the telescopic rod 212 and the limiting rod 214, the fixed plate 213 moves stably upwards, and under the action of the push rod 215, the vulcanized tire inside the lower mold 22 is... The tire, having undergone vulcanization, is placed on the surface of the conveyor roller 122 by the mechanical claw 14. The conveyor roller 122 is driven by the first motor 13, transmission wheel 123, and chain 124, thus conveying the tire. During this process, the air inside the mounting frame 12 circulates rapidly through the fan 151, ventilation slots 125, and slots on the outer wall of the mounting plate 16. As the air passes through these slots, the cooling water inside the cooling pipe 161 circulates under the action of the circulating pump inside the cooling device 162, absorbing heat from the passing air and cooling it down. The cooling water then moves into the cooling device 162, where it is cooled by the fan and semiconductor heat dissipation device, allowing for continuous cooling of the passing air. Finally, the cooled air is delivered to the tire surface by the fan 151, thus achieving tire conveying and initial cooling.

Any person skilled in the art may make changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments for application in other fields. However, any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the technical solution of the present utility model shall still fall within the protection scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
