Specifically, the reset member 7 in this embodiment is an annular reset tension spring, which is sleeved outside the four centering members 5 and located below the hinged position of the centering members 5, when the support member 2 moves downward under the action of gravity of the embryo 10, the support member 2 acts on the transmission portion 51 of the centering members 5, so that the transmission portion 51 rotates around the rotational connection with the body 1 and is away from the body 1, when the transmission portion 51 rotates away from the body, the reset member 7 is spread (see fig. 5) by overcoming the elastic force of the reset member 7 itself, and when the embryo 10 is removed from the support member 2 after centering is completed, the reset member 7 contracts to drive the transmission portion of the centering member 5 to reset the centering members 5 to the initial state (see fig. 4), and reset the support member 2 upward, so as to prepare for centering the next embryo 10. In addition, after the green tire 10 is placed on the supporting member 2, in the downward moving process, the resetting member 7 can also play a role in buffering the downward movement, so that the impact of the supporting member 2 on the transmission part 51 is reduced, and the stability in the centering process is improved.
It should be noted that the structure of the reset member 7 is not specifically limited in the present invention, and the present invention may further include a plurality of segments of reset members 7, each reset member 7 is a linear tension spring, a segment of reset member 7 is disposed between each transmission portion 51 and the machine body 1, and each segment of reset member 7 connects the machine body 1 and the transmission portion 51 of the centering member 5.
As a preferred embodiment of the green tire centering mechanism, as shown in fig. 1, 4 and 5, the green tire centering mechanism further includes a floating table 8 provided on the upper side of the support member 2 for supporting the green tire, and the floating table 8 is pressed against the gimbal balls 3 to float on the upper side of the support member 2.
Set up floating platform 8 at support 2 upside, floating platform 8 crimping support 2 upper surface's universal ball 3 contacts with universal ball 3 on vertical direction, and floating platform 8 can move in the horizontal direction, places the child embryo 10 on floating platform 8, drives floating platform 8 and moves together under the promotion of the clamping part 52 of centering 5 to realize the centering of child embryo 10. Increase unsteady platform 8 between universal ball 3 and child embryo 10, on the one hand, child embryo 10 can fully contact with bearing 2, the bearing area of child embryo 10 has been increased, reduce the mechanical damage to child embryo 10, and on the other hand, the frictional force between unsteady platform 8 and the universal ball 3 is less than the direct frictional force with the contact of universal ball 3 of child embryo 10, has further reduced the required drive power that promotes child embryo 10, rely on child embryo 10 self gravity to realize the centering more convenient.
More preferably, as shown in fig. 1, 2 and 3, the edge of the support member 2 extends upward to form a hem 21 surrounding the floating platform 8, and a plurality of elastic members 9 are provided on the inner side of the hem 21.
The original position of the central shaft of the floating platform 8 is not necessarily coincided with the central shaft of the supporting part 2, in the centering process of the blank 10, the floating platform 8 can be caused to deviate from the original position, and then the elastic part 9 on the covered edge 21 is compressed, after the blank 10 is taken away, the compressed elastic part 9 resets the floating platform 8 to the middle part of the supporting part 2 under the action of the elastic force of the elastic part 9, so that the blank 10 is placed next time for centering, the centering operation continuity is realized, and the centering efficiency is improved.
It should be noted that the structure of the elastic element 9 is not specifically limited in the present invention, and may be specifically any one of the following embodiments:
example 1: the elastic element 9 is a spring, one end of which is fixed on the edge 21 and the other end is a free end and faces the center of the support element 2. When the spring is pressed by the floating seat, the spring piece deforms to resist external force through the expansion and contraction of the free end. After the force acting on the floating seat disappears, the floating seat resets under the action of the spring to prepare for next centering, and the floating seat can be ensured to have enough adjustable space in the centering process.
Example 2: as shown in fig. 2 and 3, the elastic member 9 is a spring, and the spring includes a main body 91 protruding toward the support member 2, a fixed end 92 connected to one end of the main body, and a free end 93 connected to the other end of the main body. The fixed end 92 of the spring plate is fixed to the covering 21. When the main body 91 of the spring plate is pressed by the floating seat, the spring plate deforms to resist external force through the extension and contraction of the free end. After the force acting on the floating seat disappears, the floating seat resets under the action of the elastic sheet, preparation is made for next centering, and the floating seat can be guaranteed to have enough adjustable space in the centering process.
The technical solutions protected by the present invention are not limited to the above embodiments, and it should be noted that the combination of the technical solution of any one embodiment and the technical solution of one or more other embodiments is within the protection scope of the present invention. Although the invention has been described in detail above with reference to a general description and specific examples, it will be apparent to one skilled in the art that modifications or improvements may be made thereto based on the invention. Accordingly, such modifications and improvements are intended to be within the scope of the invention as claimed.
