摘要:
The present invention increases tire formation precision and is a tire manufacturing method, which comprises a step S1 for forming a green tire on the outer surface of a rigid inner mold and a vulcanization step S2 for vulcanizing the green tire. The rigid inner mold comprises: an inner mold body, which is obtained from multiple segments; a core, which substantially binds the various segments; and an outer diameter adjusting means for changing the outer diameter of the core by changing the temperature of the core. Moreover, the rigid inner mold performs changes such that by expansion of the outer di ameter of the core 5, the vari ous segments move outward in the radial direction of the tire and gaps between the segments are enlarged, while by reducing the outer di ameter of the core, the vari ous segments move inward in the radial direction of the tire and the level differences Ron the outer surface between adjacent segments increase. The vulcanization step S2 comprises an adjustment steps S21 for adjusting the outer diameter of the core using the outer diameter adjustment means so that the gaps G and the level differences R are within a previously established range.

In order to simultaneously and randomly form tires of multiple, different sizes on a single line, this tire manufacturing method comprises: a green tire formation step of, on a member assembly devi ce having a plurality of work stations arranged along a track, assembling the ti re constituent members to an outer surface of a rigid core moving on the track at the work stations ; and a vulcanization step of putting the green tire with the rigid core into the vulcanization molds. Each time the rigid core is carried into the work station, the size of the carried rigid core is identified, and data on the attachment condition according to the identified size from identification information and data on the attachment condition for the member material according to the size of the rigid core stored in advance in the control device is determined. The member assembly device is carried based on the determined data is controlled.

The invention relates to a tyre construction device (10) with a building drum (12) for applying an inner liner (14) to said drum and a winding device for reinforcing materials (16), wherein only one side of the building drum, the drive-shaft side, is mounted on a drive shaft (38). The winding device winds the reinforcing materials onto the inner liner in the final shape which also remains upon completion of the tyre. The winding device winds the reinforcing materials substantially radially, crosswise over the building drum on the free side which lies opposite the drive shaft, and past the drive shaft on the drive-shaft side.

An apparatus and a method for assembly and disassembly in axial and radial directions mold segments forming a toroidally shaped mold is described. The apparatus includes a mold gripping apparatus operatively engaging and disengaging the mold, and a mold transport apparatus for operatively moving the mold gripping apparatus and engaged mold between a mold assembly and disassembly station and a tire curing station. The mold gripping apparatus engages and unlocks an upper mold sidewall segment and mold loading apparatus engages and unlocks a lower mold sidewall segment. Tread segment closing apparatus is provided for operatively opening and closing the tread segments of the mold in a radial direction.
摘要:
A method of manufacturing tyres comprises disposing an uncured elastomeric material on a substantially rigid toroidal support, so as to form a green tyre. The green tyre and the toroidal support are then disposed within a vulcanization mold in which a molding cavity is defined, so as to mold and cure the green tyre. The molding cavity includes at least a portion in which molding and curing are carried out at a constant volume. The deposition of the elastomeric material onto the rigid toroidal support is carried out by controlling the volume distribution of the elastomeric material onto the toroidal support, so as to fit a predetermined curve of excess material volume, i.e., a curve showing a difference between the volume distribution of the material forming the green tyre and the available volume in the portion of the molding cavity adapted for molding and curing the green tyre at constant volume, versus a predetermined, e.g. radial, direction.
