Bead Core Filler Mounting with Self-Adhering Ends
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing method for mounting a filler onto a bead core requires manual skill and is burdensome due to the need for precise adhesion of the filler's end surfaces, which can be challenging to achieve uniformly.
Innovation Solution
A method and device that involves adhering the filler to the bead core with separated end surfaces, using a mechanism with jaws and movement members to automatically align and adhere the ends, allowing for easy and accurate attachment without requiring manual skill.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If manual adhesion method is used to attach filler end surfaces, then the process requires human skill and judgment, but the operation becomes burdensome and difficult to perform uniformly
Solution Approach 1:
The filler strip is designed with self-adhering end surfaces that automatically bond when the strip is wrapped around the bead core. The adhesive properties are built into the filler strip itself, eliminating the need for manual adhesion operations while ensuring consistent bonding quality.
Solution Approach 2:
The manual mechanical adhesion process is replaced by the inherent adhesive properties of the filler strip material. The chemical adhesive mechanism substitutes for the manual mechanical bonding action, providing reliable attachment without requiring human skill or effort.
2Manufacturing precision
If manual skill is required for uniform adhesion of filler ends, then adhesion quality can be maintained, but the process becomes time-consuming and less efficient
Solution Approach 1:
The filler strip automatically achieves uniform adhesion through its self-adhering end surfaces. When wrapped around the bead core, the ends naturally bond without requiring manual intervention, ensuring consistent adhesion quality while dramatically improving production speed and efficiency.
Solution Approach 2:
The adhesive properties are prepared in advance as part of the filler strip manufacturing process. The end surfaces are pre-treated or pre-coated with adhesive material, so that when the strip is installed, the adhesion occurs automatically without requiring preliminary manual preparation or skill-based bonding operations.
3Measurement precision
If the filler strip is adhered with separated end surfaces, then the ends can be positioned accurately, but the adhesion process becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The filler strip's self-adhering end surfaces automatically align and bond when the strip is wrapped around the bead core. The separated end surfaces are positioned accurately by the wrapping process itself, and the adhesion occurs automatically without requiring complex alignment devices or procedures.

AI summary
A method for annularly mounting a band-like filler to the outer periphery of a bead core comprises a step for attaching the filler to the outer periphery of the bead core, a step for grasping the opposite ends of the filler and separating the opposite ends of the filler from the outer periphery of the bead core, a step for sequentially attaching the opposite end surfaces of the filler to each other from the inner peripheral sections of the opposite end surfaces toward the outer peripheral sections thereof, and a step for pressing the portion of the filler, which has been separated from the outer periphery of the bead core, against the outer periphery of the bead core.
