Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of tire manufacturing technology, and specifically relates to a transportation system for inspecting vulcanized tires. Background Technology

[0002] The statements herein provide only background information related to this invention and do not necessarily constitute prior art.

[0003] In the production process of tires such as large mining tires and construction machinery vehicle tires, the finished tires after vulcanization are heavy, usually between 145 kg and 365 kg. At this stage, the tires need to be transported from the vulcanizing machine to a dedicated X-ray inspection station for quality inspection. Currently, the industry generally relies on forklifts for horizontal transfer of tires in this process.

[0004] However, existing transportation and handling methods have many obvious drawbacks. First, in the transportation stage, simply using forklifts is inefficient, typically only able to transport one tire at a time, and requires operators to drive and assist throughout the process, which is not conducive to achieving continuous and efficient logistics within the workshop. Second, before entering the X-ray inspection machine, tires need to be changed from their natural vulcanized state (horizontally placed) to an upright position so that the inspection equipment can perform circumferential scanning. This process usually relies on manual labor for turning the tires, which is extremely labor-intensive and poses significant safety hazards, easily causing personnel injuries. Alternatively, ordinary lifting tools and slings can be used for lifting and turning, but these tools are not designed for the specific shape and weight of tires. During lifting, uneven force or insufficient rigidity can easily cause the tires to slip or swing violently, not only causing deformation and breakage of the lifting tools themselves, but also potentially causing irreversible damage such as scratches and impacts to the sidewalls, bead, or tread of expensive finished tires, seriously affecting product quality. In addition, existing transportation tools such as ordinary flatbed trucks and forklifts lack coordinated design with traction equipment and subsequent lifting processes, making it impossible to achieve rapid docking and continuous flow, thus dragging down overall production efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a transportation system for inspecting vulcanized tires, which effectively solves the problems of low efficiency, high labor intensity, numerous safety hazards, and easy damage to tires in the existing technology during the transportation, hoisting, and inspection of vulcanized tires.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution: In a first aspect, embodiments of this utility model provide a transportation system for inspecting vulcanized tires, comprising: A transport trolley is provided with a frame, the bottom of which is provided with several wheels, and the upper part of the frame is provided with a pad, the middle of which is provided with a groove structure; The hoisting fixture has a C-shaped fixture support frame, which has a backstop protrusion and an internal support structure. The inspection and consignment mechanism is equipped with a bracket, on which a clamping roller structure and a supporting roller structure are provided. The supporting roller structure is arranged in a V-shape, and a tire is placed between the clamping roller structure and the supporting roller structure.

[0007] As a further technical solution, a handrail is provided on one side of the frame, and a traction rod mounting structure is provided on the frame below the handrail. A first traction rod is hinged to the traction rod mounting structure, and a connecting hole is provided on the first traction rod. A traction lifting ring pin is provided on the other side of the frame opposite to the traction rod mounting structure.

[0008] As a further technical solution, the traveling wheel is configured as a universal wheel with a self-locking structure.

[0009] As a further technical solution, the tooling support is provided with a first support rod, a second support rod and a third support rod. The second and third support rods are arranged in parallel and have the same length. One end of the second and third support rods is vertically connected to the first support rod. The first support rod, the second support rod and the third support rod form a U-shaped structure.

[0010] As a further technical solution, the support structure includes a first support rod, a second support rod, and a connecting stop; The first support rod is located at the connection position between the first frame rod and the second frame rod, and the first frame rod, the second frame rod and the first support rod form a right-angled triangle structure; The second support rod is located at the connection point between the first frame rod and the third frame rod, and the first frame rod, the third frame rod and the second support rod form a right-angled triangle structure; The connecting stop is disposed between the first support rod and the second support rod, and the connecting stop is arranged parallel to the first frame rod.

[0011] As a further technical solution, the connection point between the connecting rod and the first support rod is at a certain distance from the connection point between the first support rod and the second frame rod; The connection point of the connecting rod and the second support rod is at a certain distance from the connection point of the second support rod and the third frame rod.

[0012] As a further technical solution, the first support pole is provided with a tooling handrail on its exterior, the second support pole is provided with a lifting hole on its exterior, and the third support pole is provided with a backstop boss at its end away from the first support pole, with the backstop boss facing the second support pole.

[0013] As a further technical solution, the clamping roller structure is provided with two clamping components, which are symmetrically arranged at both ends of the tire sidewall, and the two clamping components can move closer to or further away from each other in the horizontal direction.

[0014] As a further technical solution, the support roller structure is provided with two support components, which are symmetrically arranged at both ends of the tire tread. The two support components can swing relative to each other to form different angles.

[0015] As a further technical solution, a walking component is provided at the bottom of the bracket.

[0016] The beneficial effects of the above-described embodiments of this utility model are as follows: This utility model provides a transportation system for inspecting vulcanized tires. The bottom of the transport trolley is equipped with wheels for easy transport, and the upper part is equipped with a pad with a rectangular groove structure. The tire is placed horizontally on the pad to improve the stability of the tire during transportation. The rectangular groove structure facilitates the lifting tool to extend from top to bottom into the inner hole of the tire and reach the rectangular groove structure after the tire is placed horizontally on the pad, so as to move horizontally and easily lift the tire. Unlike the existing technology that requires manual lifting of the tire for the lifting tool to lift the tire, the lifting tool in this utility model, in cooperation with the rectangular groove structure on the transport trolley, realizes the horizontal transportation of the tire while facilitating lifting and changing the tire from a horizontal state to an upright state, making it easy to place at the X-ray inspection station, improving work efficiency, reducing labor intensity, reducing safety hazards, and avoiding damage to the tire during transportation. Furthermore, the hoisting fixture adopts a U-shaped fixture support frame, and is equipped with a backstop boss and an internal support structure, so that the fixture can firmly hold the tire and prevent the tire from slipping or swinging during hoisting. During the lifting process, the connecting rod of the hoisting tool can support the side of the tire, keeping the tire in a nearly upright and stable state during transportation. At the same time, the end of the second support rod near the third support rod forms a diagonal brace structure. It can be understood that the inner hole of the tire has a concave sloping structure. The diagonal brace structure here contacts the concave sloping structure on the tire, which can further improve the support effect on the tire and keep the tire in a relatively stable upright state during hoisting, thus making it easier to put into the next inspection station. In addition, the inspection and transport mechanism uses a clamping roller structure and a V-shaped support roller structure to clamp and support the tire, making it easier to stabilize the tire and adapt to its shape during the inspection process.

[0020] It should be noted that the following detailed description is exemplary and intended to provide further explanation of the present invention. Unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used in this invention have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains.

[0021] Example 1 In a typical embodiment of this utility model, such as Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a transportation system for inspecting vulcanized tires is provided, comprising: The transport trolley 2 is equipped with a frame 206, a number of wheels 204 at the bottom of the frame 206, a pad 207 on the upper part of the frame 206, and a rectangular groove structure 208 in the middle of the pad 207. The hoisting fixture 3 has a fixture support with an inverted shape, a backstop protrusion 304 on the fixture support, and a support structure inside the fixture support; The inspection and consignment mechanism 4 is equipped with a bracket, on which a clamping roller structure 401 and a support roller structure 402 are provided. The support roller structure 402 is arranged in a V-shape, and a tire is placed between the clamping roller structure 401 and the support roller structure 402.

[0022] In the existing technology, after the tire 1 is vulcanized, it needs to be inspected by an X-ray machine. During the process of transferring the tire 1 from the vulcanization station to the X-ray inspection station, a forklift is usually used. This method can only transport one tire 1 at a time, and the tire 1 needs to be in an upright position at the X-ray inspection station. However, the existing transportation method usually places the tire 1 horizontally. When the horizontally placed tire 1 is hoisted to the X-ray inspection station, it is not convenient to lift the heavy tire 1 from the horizontal position and keep it upright. Usually, it is necessary to manually lift the tire 1 so that the hook can pass through. This method is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also poses a risk of injury to the operators. If the tire 1 is transported in an upright position, it will be difficult to keep the upright tire 1 stable during transportation.

[0023] In this embodiment, the bottom of the frame 206 of the transport trolley 2 is equipped with wheels 204 for easy transport, and the upper part is equipped with a pad 207 with a rectangular groove structure 208. The tire 1 is placed horizontally on the pad 207 to improve the stability of the tire 1 during transport. The rectangular groove structure 208 helps the lifting fixture 3 to extend from top to bottom into the inner hole of the tire 1 and reach the rectangular groove structure 208 after the tire 1 is placed horizontally on the pad 207, so as to move horizontally and easily lift the tire 1. Unlike the prior art, which requires manual lifting of the tire 1 so that the lifting fixture 3 can lift the tire 1, the lifting fixture 3 in this utility model, in cooperation with the rectangular groove structure 208 on the transport trolley 2, realizes the horizontal transport of the tire 1, while facilitating the lifting and changing the tire 1 from a horizontal state to an upright state, so as to facilitate the placement at the X-ray inspection station, improve work efficiency, reduce labor intensity, reduce safety hazards, and avoid damage to the tire 1 during transport.

[0024] The hoisting fixture 3 adopts a U-shaped fixture support and is equipped with a backstop boss 304 and an internal support structure, so that the fixture can firmly hold the tire 1 and prevent the tire 1 from slipping or swinging during hoisting. The inspection and transport mechanism 4 uses a clamping roller structure 401 and a V-shaped support roller structure 402 to clamp and support the tire 1, which facilitates the stability of the tire 1 and adapts to its shape during the inspection process.

[0025] Furthermore, a trolley handle 201 is provided on one side of the frame 206, and a traction rod mounting structure 203 is provided on the frame 206 below the trolley handle 201. A first traction rod 202 is hinged to the traction rod mounting structure 203, and a connecting hole is provided on the first traction rod 202. A traction lifting ring pin 205 is provided on the other side of the frame 206 opposite to the traction rod mounting structure 203.

[0026] In this embodiment, a handrail 201 is provided on one side of the frame 206 to facilitate support by the operator. A traction rod mounting structure 203 is provided on the frame 206 below the handrail 201, and a first traction rod 202 is hinged thereto. The first traction rod 202 can swing. During non-transportation processes or during the transportation of a single transport trolley 2, the first traction rod 202 remains in a vertical position to avoid interference with operations. During the transportation of multiple transport trolleys 2 together, the first traction rod 202 is adjusted to be placed horizontally, and multiple transport trolleys 2 are quickly connected through the connection holes and matching connectors provided on it to realize the transportation of multiple tires 1.

[0027] On the other side, there is a traction ring pin 205, which facilitates the adaptation of various traction methods, improves the flexibility and continuity of transportation, and is especially suitable for logistics flow within the workshop, reducing waiting time and operational complexity.

[0028] Furthermore, the traveling wheel 204 is configured as a universal wheel with a self-locking structure.

[0029] This design allows the transport trolley 2 to move with multi-directional flexibility, making it easy to turn and position in narrow spaces. At the same time, the self-locking casters ensure the stability of the trolley when parking or loading / unloading tires 1, preventing the trolley from moving unexpectedly due to uneven ground or external forces, and further ensuring operational safety and the reliability of tire 1 placement.

[0030] Furthermore, the tooling support is provided with a first support rod 301, a second support rod 302 and a third support rod 303. The second support rod and the third support rod 303 are arranged in parallel and have the same length. One end of the second support rod and the third support rod 303 is vertically connected to the first support rod 301. The first support rod 301, the second support rod 302 and the third support rod 303 form a U-shaped structure.

[0031] The first support pole 301, the second support pole 302, and the third support pole 303 form a stable frame that can evenly bear the weight of the tire 1, preventing deformation of the tooling support or tilting of the tire 1 due to uneven force during hoisting. The U-shaped structure design also makes it easy to insert and fix the tire 1 from the middle, simplifying the operation process.

[0032] Furthermore, the support structure includes a first support rod 306, a second support rod 307, and a connecting stop 305; The first support rod 306 is located at the connection position between the first frame rod 301 and the second frame rod 302, and the first frame rod 301, the second frame rod 302 and the first support rod 306 form a right-angled triangle structure; The second support rod 307 is located at the connection position between the first support rod 301 and the third support rod 303, and the first support rod 301, the third support rod 303 and the second support rod 307 form a right-angled triangle structure. The connecting rod 305 is disposed between the first support rod 306 and the second support rod 307, and the connecting rod 305 is arranged parallel to the first support rod 301.

[0033] The aforementioned right-angled triangular support design significantly enhances the overall rigidity and stability of the tooling bracket, effectively resisting torque and bending moment during hoisting, preventing deformation of the tooling bracket, extending its service life, and ensuring that tire 1 remains stable during hoisting.

[0034] Furthermore, the connection point between the connecting rod 305 and the first support rod 306 is at a certain distance from the connection point between the first support rod 306 and the second support rod 302; The connection point of the connecting rod 305 and the second support rod 307 is at a certain distance from the connection point of the second support rod 307 and the third support rod 303.

[0035] The above settings make the overall stress distribution of the tooling support more reasonable, reduce stress concentration, and improve the fatigue resistance and durability of the tooling. In particular, when frequently hoisting heavy tires 1, it can effectively avoid early damage to the connection points.

[0036] Furthermore, during the lifting process of the tire 1, the connecting rod 305 of the lifting fixture 3 can support the side of the tire 1, keeping the tire 1 in a nearly upright and stable state during transportation. At the same time, the end of the second support rod 307 near the third support rod 303 forms a diagonal brace structure. It can be understood that the inner hole of the tire 1 is a concave inclined surface structure. The diagonal brace structure here contacts the concave inclined surface structure on the tire 1, which can further improve the support effect on the tire 1 and keep the tire 1 in a relatively stable upright state during lifting, thus facilitating its placement in the next inspection station.

[0037] Furthermore, the first support rod 301 is provided with a tooling handle 309 on its exterior, the second support rod 302 is provided with a lifting hole 308 on its exterior, and the third support rod 303 is provided with a backstop boss 304 at its end away from the first support rod 301, with the backstop boss 304 facing the second support rod 302.

[0038] The tool handle 309 facilitates manual adjustment of the angle and position of the lifting tool 3 during the lifting process. The lifting hole 308 is used to connect with the lifting equipment. The anti-backlash boss 304 can effectively prevent the tire 1 from slipping off the tool support during the lifting process. This design improves the ease of operation and safety of the lifting tool 3 and ensures a smooth and reliable lifting process.

[0039] Furthermore, the clamping roller structure 401 is provided with two clamping assemblies, which are symmetrically arranged at both ends of the tire sidewall of the tire 1. The two clamping assemblies can move closer to or further away from each other in the horizontal direction.

[0040] This configuration allows the clamping assembly to adapt to tires 1 of different sizes. By adjusting the clamping force, the tire 1 sidewall is firmly fixed, preventing it from moving or shaking during the testing process. This ensures the accuracy and consistency of the test results, while avoiding damage to the tire 1 caused by excessive clamping.

[0041] Furthermore, the support roller structure 402 is provided with two support components, which are symmetrically arranged at both ends of the tire tread of the tire 1. The two support components can swing relative to each other to form different angles.

[0042] The V-shaped structure and adjustable angle design of the support component enable it to closely fit the tread curve of tire 1, providing uniform support force and adapting to various tire 1 specifications. This not only enhances the stability of tire 1 during testing but also reduces the risk of tread damage due to excessive local pressure, improving the reliability of the testing process and the protection of tire 1.

[0043] Furthermore, a traveling assembly 403 is provided at the bottom of the bracket. The traveling assembly 403 enables the entire inspection and transport mechanism 4 to move easily, facilitating the transfer of tires 1 for inspection.

[0044] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
