With the technical progress and the improvement of living standard, the demand for automobiles is increasing, and the demand for automobile tires is also increasing. Meanwhile, the updating speed of the tire patterns is also increased continuously, and the diversity of the tire variety requirements is also greatly increased, so that the tire patterns are also continuously updated. Accordingly, the production of tires is being developed toward miniaturization and batch diversification of specifications. Therefore, tire molds are replaced more and more frequently during the tire manufacturing process.

A vulcanizer is an important apparatus in a tire manufacturing process for performing a vulcanization process on a green tire. In the process of vulcanizing the tire, the vulcanizing machine drives the tire mold to carry out the processes of mold closing and mold opening. The traditional tire vulcanizer uses a link mechanism to lift, translate or turn over an upper beam of the vulcanizer to realize the operations of closing and opening the molds. However, such link-type mechanical transmission mechanisms are low in accuracy, unstable in mold clamping force during mold clamping operation, and require complicated adjustment and periodic calibration operation.

In view of the above problems of the mechanical vulcanizer, a hydraulic vulcanizer has been developed. The hydraulic vulcanizer employs a vertical lift mechanism to perform mold closing and opening operations. This construction requires the vulcanizer to have a high height and, in the opening operation, the upper cross-beam of the vulcanizer to stay directly above the vulcanization chamber. This makes when needing to change the mould, can't use perpendicular equipment of lifting by crane, can only carry out the mould with the help of fork truck and change work. In the situation that the mold is replaced by using the forklift, the movement space of personnel is narrow and small, the operation is not changed, the production efficiency is reduced, and potential safety hazards also exist in the operation of the forklift. In addition, in the production process, operating personnel need get into the vulcanizer and operate or maintain, and the entablature that is located directly over the vulcanization room can lead to the high altitude weight risk to there is the potential safety hazard.

< first embodiment >

Fig. 1 to 4 show a vulcanizer 100 according to a first embodiment of the present invention. The curing press 100 includes a curing chamber 110, the curing chamber 110 being supported on a body mount 120 of the curing press 100. Vertically extending wall plates 130, i.e., left and right wall plates 130 shown in the drawing, are provided on the left and right sides of the main body base 120, respectively.

At least one clamp locking pin hole 131 is provided on the wall plate 130, and a lock pin 161 can be inserted into the clamp locking pin hole 131 or released from the clamp locking pin hole 131 by a driving means such as a lock pin driving cylinder 160 as shown in fig. 3. When the lock pins 161 are inserted in the clamp position lock pin holes 131, the upper cross member 151 can be positionally fixed with respect to the vulcanizing chamber 110 in the clamped state, and when the lock pins 161 are disengaged from the clamp position lock pin holes 131, the upper cross member 151 is allowed to move with respect to the vulcanizing chamber 110. Wherein the cover part 111 of the vulcanizing chamber 110 is attached to the upper cross member 151 so as to be movable away from or close to the vulcanizing chamber 110 with the upper cross member 151.

A clamp positioner 135 is also provided on the wall panel 130 to indicate that the upper beam 151 has reached the clamped position when a corresponding structure on the upper beam 151 is mated with the clamp positioner 135.

The vulcanizer 100 is provided with at least one mold opening and closing cylinder 141, and the mold opening and closing cylinder 141 is preferably a hydraulic cylinder, which is driven by hydraulic oil. One end of the open-close cylinder 141 is pivotally connected to the body of the vulcanizer 100, such as the main body base 120 shown in the drawing, or may be connected to other fixed members such as the wall plate 130, and the other end of the open-close cylinder 141 is pivotally connected to the upper cross member 151. In the exemplary configuration shown in the figures, two split cylinders 141 are included, diagonally attached to two corners of the upper beam 151.

The opening and closing cylinder 141 includes an opening and closing cylinder rod 142, and when the opening and closing cylinder 141 is filled with hydraulic fluid such as hydraulic oil, the opening and closing cylinder rod 142 can be extended or retracted so that the upper beam 151 moves in the vertical direction. Actuation of the opening and closing cylinder rod 142 will be described in more detail below.

To guide the movement of the upper beam 151 in the vertical direction, at least one vertical guide rail 134 is provided on a translation beam 152 provided on top of the wall panel 130 (as shown more clearly in fig. 3). Preferably, as shown, two vertical guide rails 134, i.e., four vertical guide rails 134 in total, are disposed on the left and right opposite panels of the translation beam 152. A slider or roller structure is disposed on the upper beam 151 at a corresponding position to cooperate with the vertical guide 134 to facilitate the translation beam 152 to move in the vertical direction along the vertical guide 134.

A horizontal guide rail 133 is provided on the top of the wall plate 130, and a slider or a roller capable of cooperating with the horizontal guide rail 133 is provided at a corresponding position of the translation beam 152, so that the translation beam 152 can move in a horizontal direction with respect to the wall plate 130. Safety pin holes 132 (see fig. 3) are further provided on a portion of the wall panel 130 to which the translation beam 152 is connected, and a locking pin 161 may be inserted into the safety pin holes 132 to fix the upper beam 151 with respect to the translation beam 152 so as to be movable in a horizontal direction along with the translation beam 152. To achieve the movement of the translating beam 152 in the horizontal direction, the vulcanizer 100 is further provided with at least one translating cylinder 143, the translating cylinder 143 being preferably hydraulically driven, for example by hydraulic oil. One end of the translation cylinder 143 is fixedly attached to the body of the vulcanizer 100, such as the top of the wall plate 130 as shown in the drawings, and the other end of the translation cylinder 143 is fixedly attached to the translation beam 152. In the exemplary configuration shown in the figures, two translation cylinders 143 are included, each mounted on top of a corresponding one of the left and right wall panels 130.

The translation cylinder 143 includes a translation cylinder rod 144, and when hydraulic fluid is injected into the translation cylinder 143, the translation cylinder rod 144 can be extended or retracted, thereby moving the translation beam 152 in the horizontal direction. Actuation of the translation cylinder 143 will be described in more detail below.

Modifications are possible to the preferred structure of the first embodiment described above. For example, the described translation cylinder 143 may be omitted, and thus, the movement of the upper beam 151 in the vertical direction and the movement of the upper beam 151 and the translation beam 152 in the horizontal direction may be implemented by the opening and closing cylinder 141.

In addition, the wall plate 130 may be replaced by other types of support structures, or other types of support structures may be additionally provided on the body base 120. For example, at least one, preferably a plurality of posts may be provided on the body base 120 extending vertically upward from the body base 120; or the press 100 may include both wall panels and columns as a support structure.

The opening and closing operation of the vulcanizer 100 of the first embodiment will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings:

fig. 2 and 4 are schematic diagrams showing an open mold state (fig. 2) and a closed mold state (fig. 4) of the vulcanizer 100 of the first embodiment in a simplified manner.

When opening the mold, the lock pin driving cylinder 160 first retracts the lock pin 161 to release the lock pin 161 from the mold clamping lock pin hole 131. In this way, the upper cross member 151 and the cover portion 111 attached to the upper cross member 151 are movable relative to the main body of the vulcanizer 100 (e.g., including the vulcanizing chamber 110, the main body mount 120, the wall plate 130, etc.). Then, the rodless chamber of the opening cylinder 141 is filled with hydraulic fluid, so that the opening cylinder rod 142 is extended, whereby the upper cross beam 151 moves upward in the vertical direction with the lid section 111.

After the upper cross member 151 is raised to a predetermined position, the locking pin driving cylinder 160 drives the locking pin 161 to be inserted into the safety pin hole 132 on the portion of the wall panel 130 to which the translation cross member 152 is connected. The rod chambers of the translation cylinder 143 are then filled with hydraulic fluid, causing the translation cylinder rods 144 to retract, thereby causing the translation cross-member 152 to translate horizontally away from the vulcanization chamber 110, and in turn causing the upper cross-member 151 to translate together horizontally away from the vulcanization chamber 110.

During closing of the mold, hydraulic fluid is injected into the rodless chamber of the translation cylinder 143, causing the translation cylinder rod 144 to extend, causing the translation beam 152 and the upper beam 151 to translate in a horizontal direction adjacent to the curing chamber 110.

After the translating cross beam 152 moves the upper cross beam 151 to a predetermined horizontal position, the locking pin driving cylinder 160 is actuated to disengage the locking pin 161 from the safety pin hole 132. In this way, the upper cross beam 151 can move relative to the translating cross beam 152. Then, hydraulic fluid is injected into the rod chamber of the opening and closing cylinder 141, so that the opening and closing cylinder rod 142 is retracted, and the upper cross member 151 is moved downward in the vertical direction until the cover portion 111 covers the vulcanizing chamber 110. Next, the lock pin driving cylinder 160 is actuated to insert the lock pin 161 into the mold clamping lock pin hole 131, thereby achieving a mold clamping state.

The positions of the opening and closing cylinder 141 and the translation cylinder 143 may be changed, so that the operation modes of the opening and closing cylinder 141 and the translation cylinder 143 are also changed during the above opening and closing processes. For example, the opening and closing cylinder 141 may be connected between the upper portion of the wall panel 130 and the upper cross beam 151, and at this time, during opening of the mold, hydraulic fluid is injected into the rod chamber of the opening and closing cylinder 141 to retract the opening and closing cylinder rod 142 so that the upper cross beam 151 moves upward. During the mold closing process, hydraulic fluid is injected into the rodless cavity of the mold opening and closing cylinder 141, so that the cylinder rod 142 of the mold opening and closing cylinder extends, and the upper beam 151 is driven to move downward.

Similarly, the connection location of translation cylinder 143 on the top of wall plate 130 can be moved from the left side of translation beam 152 to the right side of translation beam 152 in fig. 2 and 4. At this point, during opening of the mold, hydraulic fluid is injected into the rodless cavity of the translation cylinder 143 to extend the cylinder rod 144 of the translation cylinder, causing the translation beam 152 to translate the upper beam 151 horizontally away from the curing chamber 110. During closing of the mold, hydraulic fluid is injected into the rod chamber of the translation cylinder 143 to retract the translation cylinder rod 144, thereby translating the translation beam 152 in horizontal direction adjacent to the curing chamber 110 in conjunction with the upper beam 151.

In an alternative configuration in which only the mold opening and closing cylinder 141 is provided, the above method is also changed slightly. Specifically, in the mold opening, after the lock pins 161 are disengaged from the lock pin holes 131 of the mold clamping position, the mold opening and closing cylinder 141 is actuated to move the upper cross member 151 vertically upward into a position where it is engaged with the upper cross member 151. Then, the lock pin 161 is inserted into the safety pin hole 132 to fix the upper cross member 151 with respect to the translation cross member 152, and thereafter, the opening and closing cylinder 141 is continuously actuated to move the upper cross member 151 in the horizontal direction together with the translation cross member 152.

The mold closing process is reversed, when mold closing is started, the upper cross beam 151 is fixed relative to the translation cross beam 152, the upper cross beam 151 moves in the horizontal direction together with the translation cross beam 152 by the actuation of the mold opening and closing cylinder 141, then the lock pin 161 is released from the safety pin hole 132, and the upper cross beam 151 moves in the vertical downward direction relative to the translation cross beam 152 by the further actuation of the mold opening and closing cylinder 141.

< second embodiment >

Fig. 5 to 8 show a vulcanizer 200 according to a second embodiment of the present invention. The specific structure described above with respect to the first embodiment also applies to the second embodiment without a contrary description or conflict. The structure of the second embodiment different from the first embodiment will be specifically described below.

The vulcanizer 200 includes a vulcanizing chamber 210, a body base 220, and a wall plate 230. A mold clamping locking pin hole 231 is provided on the wall panel 230, and a locking pin 261 driven by a locking pin driving cylinder 260 is inserted into or released from the mold clamping locking pin hole 231 so that the upper cross member 251 can move with respect to the wall panel 230 or be fixed with respect to the wall panel 230.

In the second embodiment, the wall plate 130 is formed with a main guide groove 270, and the main guide wheel 252 provided on the upper beam 251 is fitted in the main guide groove 270 and is movable along the main guide groove 270.

The vulcanizer 200 is further provided with an opening/closing mold cylinder 241. In the structure shown in the drawing, one end of the mold opening and closing cylinder 241 is connected to the main body base 220, and the other end is connected to the main guide wheel 252 of the upper beam 251. The upper cross beam 251 can be moved along a path defined by the main guide groove 270 by the actuation of the opening and closing cylinder 241. The other end of the opening and closing cylinder 241 may be connected to a portion of the upper beam 251 other than the main guide wheel 252, other than the connection shown in the drawing, as long as the upper beam 251 can be driven to move along the path of the main guide groove 270.

In a further preferred example, a secondary guide slot 280 may also be provided on wall plate 230, and the secondary guide slot 280 may extend substantially parallel to the primary guide slot 270. Correspondingly, a secondary guide wheel 253 (more clearly visible in fig. 7 and 8) is also provided on the upper cross member 251. The sub guide wheel 253 is fitted in the sub guide groove 280 and is movable along the sub guide groove 280.

As shown more clearly in fig. 7 and 8, the main guide slot 270 includes a first horizontal portion 271 and a first vertical portion 273, and preferably includes a first circular arc portion 272 connected between the first horizontal portion 271 and the first vertical portion 273. Similarly, the secondary guide slot 280 includes a second horizontal portion 281 and a second vertical portion 283, and preferably includes a second circular arc portion 282. The provision of first and second radiused portions 272 and 282 may facilitate smooth transitions between the horizontal and vertical portions of primary and secondary guide wheels 252 and 253, respectively, of primary and secondary guide slots 270 and 280.

The opening and closing operation of the vulcanizer 200 of the first embodiment will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings:

at the time of opening the mold, the lock pin driving cylinder 260 drives the lock pin 261 to be disengaged from the mold locking pin hole 231 of the wall plate 230, thereby enabling the upper cross member 251 to move relative to the wall plate 230. Next, hydraulic fluid is injected into the rodless chamber of the opening and closing cylinder 241 to extend the opening and closing cylinder rod 242 of the opening and closing cylinder 241, so that the upper cross beam 251 moves vertically upward in the direction of the first vertical portion 273 of the main guide groove 270 via the main guide wheel 252.

The hydraulic fluid continues to be injected into the rodless chamber of the opening cylinder 241 so that the main guide wheel 252 of the upper beam 251 passes through the first circular arc portion 272 into the first horizontal portion 271. The upper cross member 251 is simultaneously raised and horizontally moved while passing through the first circular arc portion 272. After passing through the first arc portion 272, the upper cross member 251 is not raised any more, but is horizontally moved only along the first horizontal portion 271 until moving to a predetermined mold opening position.

In the case where the sub guide groove 280 and the sub guide wheel 253 are provided, the sub guide wheel 253 moves in the sub guide groove 280 in the order of the second vertical portion 283, the second circular arc portion 282, and the second horizontal portion 281 during the above-described mold opening process.

During mold clamping, hydraulic fluid is injected into the rod chamber of the mold opening cylinder 241, so that the mold opening cylinder rod 242 is retracted, and the upper cross member 251 is moved along the main guide groove 270 by the main guide wheel 252 in order from the first horizontal portion 271 to the first circular arc portion 272 to the first vertical portion 273 until the predetermined mold clamping position is reached.

As shown in fig. 8, in a preferred structure, a translation assisting cylinder 243 may be further provided, one end of the translation assisting cylinder 243 is connected to the upper beam 251, the other end is connected to the wall plate 230, and the translation assisting cylinder 243 is arranged to generate an obliquely upward force to the upper beam 251. In this way, when the main guide wheel 252 and the sub guide wheel 253 move through the respective first circular arc portion 272 and second circular arc portion 282, the moving impact is reduced, thereby further assisting the upper beam 251 to smoothly move into the horizontal section of the respective path.
