Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If separate mechanical apparatuses are used for upper ring, rolling, and tire discharging operations, then each operation can be performed with dedicated functionality, but the mechanical structure becomes complex, occupies large space, and control becomes complex with easy interference
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies multi-functionality by enabling a single mechanical arm to perform multiple operations including upper ring, rolling, and tire discharging. The mechanical arm is equipped with interchangeable end effectors (clamps, pressing rollers) that allow it to execute different functions sequentially, eliminating the need for separate dedicated mechanical apparatuses for each operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent merges multiple separate mechanical functions into a single integrated mechanical arm system. By combining upper ring, rolling, and discharging operations into one mechanical platform, the system reduces structural complexity and spatial occupation while maintaining operational reliability through coordinated control of multiple functions.
2Reliability
If separate mechanical apparatuses are used for upper ring, rolling, and tire discharging operations, then each operation can be performed with dedicated functionality, but the occupied space becomes large
Solution Approach 1:
The mechanical arm serves as a universal platform that can perform upper ring, rolling, and discharging operations within a compact workspace. By consolidating multiple functions into one apparatus, the system significantly reduces the occupied space compared to having separate dedicated machines for each operation.
3Reliability
If separate mechanical apparatuses are used for upper ring, rolling, and tire discharging operations, then each operation can be performed with dedicated functionality, but the control becomes complex and interference between operations increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements feedback control mechanisms that monitor the state of the tire and the position of the mechanical arm throughout the manufacturing process. This feedback enables the control system to coordinate multiple operations sequentially, adjust parameters in real-time, and prevent interference between different operations by maintaining awareness of the current system state.
Solution Approach 2:
The control system dynamically adjusts operational parameters and sequences based on real-time conditions. The mechanical arm can transition between different operations (upper ring, rolling, discharging) with dynamic coordination, allowing the system to manage complexity through adaptive control rather than rigid separate control systems.

AI summary
Disclosed are a control method and control system for a tire forming machine, and a readable storage medium. The control method comprises: in response to a signal for mounting a tire bead, a second mechanical arm body drives a second claw portion to move to a material preparation region, and the second claw portion performs a grasping action on the tire bead and a spacer; the second mechanical arm body drives the second claw portion to place the tire bead on the preset position of the tire bead and place the spacer on the place where the spacer is placed; in response to a green tire rolling signal, a first pressing roller portion rolling a first sidewall of a green tire and an adjacent tread thereof on a forming drum, and meanwhile a second pressing roller portion rolling a second sidewall of the green tire and the adjacent tread thereof; In response to the green tire unloading signal, the first mechanical arm body drives the first claw portion to grip the green tire, and transfers the green tire to the tire unloading position. By means of integrated control, the control method reduces the space occupied by a mechanical device, reduces the complexity of control, and avoids the possibility of interference generated by the mutual actions between the executed mechanical parts.
