The embodiments described below by referring to the drawings are illustrative and intended to explain the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the invention.
The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the embodiments shown in the drawings.
As shown in fig. 1 and 2, the present invention relates to a carcass building apparatus 100 for building a carcass assembly applied to a tire building machine. The tire building machine further comprises tread building means (not shown) for building the tread assembly. The tire body assembly and the tread assembly are combined to form a tire blank. Wherein the carcass assembly may be composed of a plurality of carcass components 200. Specifically, the plurality of carcass components 200 includes sidewalls 210, an inner liner 220, a first ply 230, a second ply 240, and a backup rubber 250. Further, the carcass shaping apparatus 100 includes a servicer 1 for storing a plurality of carcass parts 200, a carcass supply frame 2 located above the servicer 1 for conveying the plurality of carcass parts 200, and a shaping drum 3 provided on a front side of the carcass supply frame 2 and capable of shaping each carcass part 200 conveyed from the carcass supply frame 2 into a carcass assembly. The specific structure and operation of the carcass building apparatus of the tire building machine are described in detail below.
As shown in fig. 1 and 2, the feeding device 1 is located below the carcass supply frame 2 and includes a first supply cart 11 storing a sidewall 210, a second supply cart 12 storing a liner 220, a third supply cart 13 storing a first curtain 230, a fourth supply cart 14 storing a second curtain 240, and a fifth supply cart 15 storing a support glue 250. The plurality of feeding trolleys are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the carcass feeding frame 2.
As shown in fig. 1, the carcass supply frame 2 is used for receiving and conveying sidewalls 210, an inner liner 220, a first ply 230, a second ply 240 and a support rubber 250 onto a building drum 3.
Specifically, the carcass supply frame 2 may sequentially deliver the liner 220, the first ply 230, the second ply 240, and the sidewall 210, respectively, onto the building drum 3. The carcass supply frame 2 may also first compound the sidewalls 210 and the liner 220 therein into a compound, then convey the compound onto the building drum 3, and finally convey the first ply 230 and the second ply 240 onto the building drum 3, respectively. While the carcass part is in contact with the building drum 3, the building drum 3 is rotated in coordination, so that the sidewall 210, the liner 220, the first curtain 230 and the second curtain 240 (or the composite, the first curtain 230 and the second curtain 240) are sequentially rotated and abutted end to end and coated on the building drum 3 to form a multi-layer carcass part (not shown). Two steel rings are additionally arranged at proper positions of the multi-layer carcass part at intervals, the carcass part between the two steel rings is inflated from inside to outside, and meanwhile, reverse wrapping is carried out, so that the carcass assembly is formed. In addition, the carcass building apparatus 100 may combine the tread assembly and the carcass assembly to form a tire blank. The specific structure and feeding manner of the carcass supply frame 2 of the carcass building device 100 are described below.
As shown in fig. 1 to 5, the carcass supply frame 2 includes a main frame 21, a sub-frame 4 provided on the rear side of the main frame 21 and detachably connected to the main frame 21, and carcass part conveying means (not numbered) provided inside the main frame 21 and the sub-frame 4. The subframe 4 can be freely installed according to the technological requirements of the tire.
The main frame 21 includes a bottom wall 211, a top wall 212 corresponding to the bottom wall 211, and two side walls connecting the top wall 212 and the bottom wall 211. Wherein, a receiving space 26 is defined among the bottom wall 211, the two side walls and the top wall 212.

As shown in fig. 1 and 2, the common pattern plate assembly 22 includes a first common pattern plate 221 pivoted to the front end of the carcass supply frame 2 and extending toward the forming drum 3, a second driving device 222 for driving the first common pattern plate 221 to rotate, and a second common pattern plate 223 disposed on the rear side of the first common pattern plate 221 and above the sidewall supply mechanism 23. The second common template 223 is disposed downward and corresponds to one end of the first common template 221. The first common template 221 is arranged in front of the second common template 223 and close to the building drum 3. Wherein the first common template 221 swings around the front end of the main frame 21 under the driving of the second driving device 222. When the first common template 221 swings downward under the drive of the second drive device 222, it is convenient to sequentially attach the plurality of carcass parts 200 conveyed thereto on the building drum 3. When the first common template 221 is swung upwards by the second driving means 222, sufficient space is allowed for the building drum 3 to build the carcass assembly.
