Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of tire manufacturing technology, and in particular to a tire disc centering frame. Background Technology

[0002] In the intensive mixing process of rubber tires and products, the production process involves weighing and proportioning rubber compounds, carbon black, oils, and various chemical additives, followed by intensive mixing, extrusion, sheeting, stacking, and transfer to the next step. The stacking process requires ensuring the neatness of the rubber sheets to prevent them from tilting or tipping over during subsequent storage or transfer. To achieve this, it is essential to ensure that the rubber trays for storage are in their theoretical positions when transported to the stacking station, without any deviation in the front-back, left-right, or right-side directions.

[0003] Therefore, a method is needed to influence the neatness of the tray placement to ensure that the actual position of the trays matches the theoretical position, preventing misalignment or even tipping over. Currently, the industry's methods for handling trays are relatively outdated, typically involving manual stacking or using forklifts to place multiple trays at once. This increases labor intensity, requiring operators to arrange and straighten the trays, which poses safety risks due to their weight, and sometimes requires climbing when there are many trays. Furthermore, for worn-out trays, fixed side panels hinder their entry into the preparation position, and increasing the distance between the side panels affects neatness. Additionally, fixed side panels require precise tray shape, making it difficult to place deformed trays, resulting in a low tolerance for error. Manual tray handling is still necessary, increasing labor intensity and posing safety hazards. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this utility model application is to provide a rubber tray centering frame, which effectively reduces the amount of manual labor required for equipment, ensures that the rubber tray is in the center position, and improves subsequent production efficiency without displacement difference.

[0005] This application provides a tray centering frame for cooperating with a cable chain mechanism to transport trays. The centering frame includes: a main frame, a positioning side plate mounted on a first side of the main frame, and an adjusting push plate mounted on a second side of the main frame. The second side of the main frame is equipped with a propulsion mechanism for driving the adjusting push plate to reciprocate and extend towards the positioning side plate to a first set position and a second set position.

[0006] In this application, by using one side of the main frame as a fixed end, the distance between the positioning side plate and the adjustment push plate can be adjusted under the movement of the propulsion mechanism on the other side, which meets the large space requirement when the rubber tray is placed. At the same time, by changing the distance between the two sides, the centering and adjustment of multiple rubber trays can be achieved to meet the subsequent use requirements. The overall adjustment method is simple and convenient.

[0010] In one specific implementation, the propulsion mechanism includes an upper cylinder and a lower cylinder; wherein the piston rod of the upper cylinder is connected to the upper part of the adjusting push plate; the piston rod of the lower cylinder is connected to the lower part of the adjusting push plate; when the upper cylinder and the lower cylinder simultaneously propel the adjusting push plate to a first set position, the distance between the adjusting push plate and the positioning side plate is greater than the width of the rubber disc; when the upper cylinder and the lower cylinder simultaneously propel the adjusting push plate to a second set position, the distance between the adjusting push plate and the positioning side plate is the same as the width of the rubber disc.

[0015] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the application will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0017] To facilitate understanding of the rubber tray alignment frame provided in this application embodiment, its application scenario is first explained. The rubber tray alignment frame provided in this application embodiment is applied in the field of tire manufacturing technology. Therefore, a method is needed to influence the neatness of rubber tray placement to ensure the actual position of the rubber tray matches the theoretical position, preventing misalignment or even tipping over. Currently, the industry's approach to rubber trays is relatively outdated. Generally, manual stacking or forklifts are used to place multiple trays together. This increases labor intensity, requiring operators to arrange and straighten the trays. During this process, the weight of the trays poses a safety risk, and climbing is necessary when there are many trays. Furthermore, for worn-out trays, the fixed side panels hinder their entry into the preparation position, and increasing the distance between the side panels affects neatness. Moreover, with fixed side panels, the tray's shape is critical; deformed trays are difficult to insert, resulting in a low tolerance for error. Manual arrangement of the trays is required, increasing labor intensity and posing safety hazards. Therefore, this application provides a tray centering frame, which effectively reduces the amount of manual labor required for equipment, ensures that the tray is in the center position, and improves subsequent production efficiency without displacement difference.

[0018] Therefore, the aligning frame for the rubber tray provided in this application adopts the method of changing the width of the rubber tray placement space to adjust the alignment of the rubber tray. The aligning frame for the rubber tray will be described in detail below with specific examples.

[0019] refer to Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1A schematic diagram of the structure of the galvanized tray centering frame provided in this application is shown. The galvanized tray centering frame is used to cooperate with the cable chain mechanism to transport the galvanized tray 200. The cable chain mechanism is placed at the bottom of the centering frame to transport the adjusted and positioned galvanized tray 200. After the galvanized tray 200 is stacked inside the centering frame and located on the cable chain mechanism in a stacked state, it is transported to the next process through the cable chain mechanism after the centering adjustment is completed. This ensures that the galvanized tray 200 in the storage stack is in the theoretical position when it is delivered to the stacking station, without any distance deviation in the front-back, left-right and right directions. This improves the overall integrity of the galvanized sheet, reduces manual labor, and makes the centering adjustment simple and convenient, thereby improving production efficiency.

[0020] The centering frame in this application includes a main frame 100, which serves as the main structure of this application. The main frame 100 is constructed of welded steel, and support feet that cooperate with the cable chain mechanism are distributed at the four corners of its bottom. The support feet are fixed to specific work positions using expansion bolt assemblies. The cable chain mechanism is located at the bottom of the main frame 100, making it easier to stack the tray 200 inside the main frame 100.

[0021] In this application, the width of the main frame 100 is greater than the width of the plastic tray 200, and one side of the main frame 100 is open while the other three sides are closed. The plastic tray 200 can be placed inside the main frame 100 through the opening. At the same time, a left guide plate 121 and a right guide plate 111 are provided opposite to each other at the opening. The guide plates on both sides can correct the positioning of the plastic tray 200 when it enters with a large orientation deviation. When the plastic tray 200 enters the main frame 100 from the opening direction, the chamfered left guide plate 121 and right guide plate 111 make initial adjustment when they come into contact with the plastic tray 200.

[0022] Continue to refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In this application, one side of the main frame 100 is a fixed end, and the other side is a movable end for adjusting the position of the glue tray 200, thereby changing the width of the internal space of the main frame 100. When changing the width of the internal space of the main frame 100, the stacked glue trays 200 are gradually centered and adjusted so that when the glue trays 200 of the glue storage stack are transported to the stacking station, they are in the theoretical position without any distance deviation in the front-back, left-right and right directions. This improves the overall integrity of the film, reduces manual labor, and the adjustment and centering method is simple and convenient, thereby improving production efficiency.

[0023] In achieving the aforementioned objectives, this application further includes a positioning side plate 110 on the first side of the main frame 100 and an adjusting push plate 122 on the second side of the main frame 100. The positioning side plate 110 is integrally welded to the main frame 100 as a fixed end. The positioning side plate 110, serving as the force-bearing end for adjusting the centering position of the rubber disc 200 in this application, is sealed with a 3mm thick steel plate. The adjusting push plate 122, as a force-applying plate for pushing the rubber disc 200 to adjust its position, is a combination of a frame and a plate. The adjusting push plate 122 can reciprocate within the inner cavity of the main frame 100.

[0024] Specifically, in order to make the adjusting push plate 122 reciprocate and extend towards the positioning side plate 110, the second side of the main frame 100 in this application is equipped with a propulsion mechanism for driving the adjusting push plate 122 to reciprocate and extend towards the positioning side plate 110 at a first set position and a second set position.

[0025] Before the multiple plastic trays 200 are placed on the main frame 100, the propulsion mechanism is in a retracted state, and there is enough space between the positioning side plate 110 and the adjusting push plate 122 to allow the plastic trays 200 to enter the main frame 100. At this time, the adjusting push plate 122 is in the first set position. After the multiple plastic trays 200 are placed on the main frame 100, the propulsion mechanism gradually extends, pushing the adjusting push plate 122 towards the positioning test direction until the two sides of the multiple plastic trays 200 are completely in contact with the adjusting push plate 122 and the positioning side plate 110. At this time, the adjusting push plate 122 is in the second set state.

[0026] In the specific assembly of the propulsion mechanism, a support frame 120 for fixing the propulsion mechanism is provided on the second side of the main frame 100. The propulsion mechanism includes an upper cylinder 124 and a lower cylinder 123; wherein, the piston rod of the upper cylinder 124 is connected to the upper part of the adjusting push plate 122; the piston rod of the lower cylinder 123 is connected to the lower part of the adjusting push plate 122; when the upper cylinder 124 and the lower cylinder 123 synchronously propel the adjusting push plate 122 to the first set position, the distance between the adjusting push plate 122 and the positioning side plate 110 is greater than the width of the rubber disc 200; when the upper cylinder 124 and the lower cylinder 123 synchronously propel the adjusting push plate 122 to the second set position, the distance between the adjusting push plate 122 and the positioning side plate 110 is the same as the width of the rubber disc 200. Two upper cylinders 124 and two lower cylinders 123 are provided. The piston rods of the two upper cylinders 124 and the two lower cylinders 123 are respectively connected to the four corners of the adjusting push plate 122. In one specific embodiment of this application, the adjusting push plate 122 is connected to the unopened side of the main frame 100 and the top frame of the main frame 100 through a slide rail assembly, thereby ensuring the sliding stability of the adjusting push plate 122; or, the piston rod of the lower cylinder 123 travels along a linear guide rail, and the upper cylinders 124 and the lower cylinders 123 extend and retract synchronously to ensure the sliding stability of the adjusting push plate 122.

[0027] In this application, by using one side of the main frame 100 as a fixed end, the distance between the positioning side plate 110 and the adjustment push plate 122 can be adjusted under the movement of the propulsion mechanism on the other side, so as to meet the large space requirement when the rubber tray 200 is placed. At the same time, the centering and adjustment of multiple rubber trays 200 can be achieved by changing the distance between the two sides, so as to meet the subsequent use requirements. The overall adjustment method is simple and convenient.
