Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tire alignment device technology, specifically a tire alignment device for the production of all-steel radial tires. Background Technology

[0002] In the production of all-steel radial tires, the tires need to be transported for processing through multiple steps. To ensure that the all-steel radial tires can smoothly reach the next workstation, they need to be transported while remaining on the centerline of the conveyor line. Therefore, a tire alignment device is required. Since omnidirectional ball conveyor belts can perform multiple actions such as deceleration, acceleration, and direction change on a single conveyor belt, they are also commonly used for tire transportation in tire production.

[0003] Referring to the tire alignment device of the tire production line disclosed in patent application CN210479846U, the motor rotates when the tire passes through the transmission tube and the alignment tube, and the tire is assisted in being transported by the conveyor belt. The speed of the conveyor belt is the same as the speed of the roller conveyor, and alignment is performed without stopping the tire, thereby improving the conveying efficiency. Before alignment, the distance between the two guide tubes is adjusted by the electric push rod according to the diameter of the tire, and the angle between the alignment tube and the guide tube is also changed accordingly.

[0004] Referring to patent application CN203439585U, a novel universal ball bearing conveyor belt relates to the field of conveying equipment technology. The modular conveyor belt body has several evenly distributed circular grooves, with square grooves above each circular groove. Movable balls are movably embedded in the circular grooves, and ball bearing caps on the movable balls cooperate with the square grooves. Fixed plugs are provided at both ends of the modular conveyor belt body. This design reduces the friction between the conveyor belt and the conveyed objects, enabling lateral movement, acceleration, deceleration, backward movement, and direction changes of objects on the same conveyor belt without the need for different conveyor belts or complex machine structures. This significantly reduces the design difficulty of the conveyor and saves costs.

[0005] As shown in the prior art above, if the existing tire alignment device uses traditional conveyor rollers for transportation, a separate steering transportation device must be set up when the tire needs to perform various actions such as turning. However, the universal ball bearing conveyor belt can directly complete the turning work on its conveyor line. In the production and transportation of all-steel radial tires, processing dust and debris inevitably remain on the tire surface. A large amount of dust and debris adhering to the balls can easily cause the balls to jam, affecting the tire's transportation efficiency.

[0006] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a tire alignment device for the production of all-steel radial tires to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0031] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0032] This utility model provides two technical solutions:

[0033] Figures 1 to 5The first embodiment is shown: a tire centering device for the production of all-steel radial tires, comprising:

[0034] Support plates 1 are symmetrically arranged, and a ball conveyor belt 2 is installed between the two support plates 1. A centering component 3 is installed above the support plates 1 to center the all-steel radial tires.

[0035] The cleaning component 4 is installed between the support plates 1 and located below the ball conveyor belt 2. It is used to wipe and clean the balls on the surface of the ball conveyor belt 2.

[0036] Cleaning component 4 includes:

[0037] Rotating block 5 is symmetrically rotatably connected to two support plates 1. A support rod 6 is snapped between the two rotating blocks 5 through two snap-fit ​​components. An octahedral cleaning cotton 7 is fixed to the outer wall of the support rod 6. The top of the octahedral cleaning cotton 7 is in contact with the balls on the surface of the ball conveyor belt 2.

[0038] A faceted assembly, installed on one side of one of the support plates 1, is used to electrically rotate the octahedral cleaning cotton 7 and switch the contact surfaces of the octahedral cleaning cotton 7 and the ball bearing.

[0039] The buckle assembly includes a retaining shell 8 fixed to the inner wall of the rotating block 5, a retaining block 9 slidably connected to the inner wall of the retaining shell 8, and retaining grooves 10 opened at both ends of the support rod 6. The retaining block 9 is engaged with the inner wall of the retaining groove 10, and a sliding rod 11 is fixed on the side of the retaining block 9 away from the retaining groove 10. The sliding rod 11 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the retaining shell 8.

[0040] A spring 12 is fixed to one end of the locking block 9 near the slide rod 11. The end of the spring 12 away from the locking block 9 is fixed to the inner wall of the locking case 8. A pull block 13 is fixed to the end of the slide rod 11 away from the locking block 9. Anti-slip texture is opened on the outer wall of the pull block 13. The outer walls of both ends of the support rod 6 are slidably connected to the opposite side of the two locking cases 8.

[0041] This application, by setting a snap-fit ​​component, allows the octahedral cleaning cotton 7 used to clean the balls on the surface of the ball conveyor belt 2 to be quickly and easily replaced, ensuring the cleanliness of the balls by the octahedral cleaning cotton 7, preventing the balls from getting stuck, and all sides of the octahedral cleaning cotton 7 can be used, reducing the frequency of replacement and saving manpower.

[0042] Figure 1 The second embodiment is shown. The main difference from the first embodiment is that the slicing assembly includes a worm gear 14 fixed to the outer wall of one of the rotating blocks 5. A worm 15 is rotatably connected to the side of the support plate 1 near the worm gear 14. A motor 16 is fixed to the side of the support plate 1 near the worm 15. The output end of the motor 16 is fixed to the worm 15. The worm 15 is meshed with the worm gear 14.

[0043] Motor 16 is a geared motor.

[0044] This application, by setting up a faceted component, allows the contact surface between the octahedral cleaning cotton 7 and the ball bearing to change simply by driving the motor 16 to rotate when one side of the octahedral cleaning cotton 7 becomes dirty. This eliminates the need for manual rotation, making it more convenient. Furthermore, the setting of the geared motor 16 makes the faceted adjustment more precise, thus making it practical.

[0045] Working principle:

[0046] Both the ball conveyor belt 2 and the centering component 3 are existing technologies and will not be described in detail.

[0047] The all-steel radial tire is placed on the ball conveyor belt 2 for transmission. Under the operation of the centering component 3, the tire moves to the transmission center line of the ball conveyor belt 2, ensuring that the tire is smoothly transmitted to the next station.

[0048] As the ball conveyor belt 2 passes the cleaning component 4 below, the balls on the surface of the ball conveyor belt 2 are cleaned and wiped by the octahedral cleaning cotton 7. When a lot of dirt is generated on the contact surface between the octahedral cleaning cotton 7 and the balls during long-term cleaning, the motor 16 can be driven to rotate the worm gear 15, which in turn drives the worm wheel 14 to rotate, causing the chuck 8 to rotate, thereby rotating the support rod 6, which in turn drives the octahedral cleaning cotton 7 to rotate, thus switching the contact surface with the balls.

[0049] When all eight faces of the octahedral cleaning cotton 7 are evenly stained, the octahedral cleaning cotton 7 can be easily replaced using the snap fastener assembly. Use the motor 16 to rotate the housing 8 so that the snap-on end faces down, pull the pull block 13 to make the slide rod 11 slide on the inner wall of the housing, and move the snap block 9 into the inner wall of the housing 8. The spring 12 is compressed, and the snap block 9 leaves the slot 10, so one end of the support rod 6 can be removed. The other end can be removed in the same way. Then, align the two ends of the replacement support rod 6 with the snap-on openings on the outer wall of the housing 8 and slide it in. The support rod 6 first squeezes the snap block 9 so that the snap block 9 enters the housing 8 again. When both ends of the support rod 6 are in the housing 8, the spring 12 rebounds and moves the snap block 9 into the slots 10 at both ends of the support rod 6, completing the replacement of the octahedral cleaning cotton 7.
