Definitions

  • the present invention relates to devices and methods for cleaning tire molds, particularly to methods and apparatuses for cleaning tire molds using a laser light mounted onto a robot control apparatus .
  • BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Presently, two-piece tire molds and segmented tire molds are typically cleaned in semi-automatic machines which use metal shot, plastic beads, or glass beads as the cleaning or blasting agent. All of these blasting agents are abrasive and cause rapid wear to tire mold lettering and sidewall designs.
  • Another problem encountered by the past cleaning machines was recovery of the blasting agent, such as the sand or glass beads. After the blasting agent had been used to clean a tire mold, it had to be recovered or removed. The recovery of the blasting agent increased the time necessary to clean tire molds and caused a housekeeping problem in the plant.
  • U.S. Patent No. 5,373,140 to Nagy discloses a system for cleaning molds within presses including a laser to clean surfaces within the mold.
  • the light source may be formed as a portable unit moving between different presses or may be in the form of a single laser with a plurality of light paths leading from the laser to individual presses to clean the molds within the presses.
  • the present invention contemplates a new and improved tire mold cleaning method and apparatus which is simple in design, effective in use, and overcomes the foregoing difficulties and others while providing better and more advantageous overall results .
  • the present invention is a cleaning device for removing residual material from a mold having a molding surface.
  • the device comprises a robot including an arm movable in a plurality of degrees of freedom, the arm having a free end.
  • a laser is connected with the robot and has an output end mounted to the arm proximal to the free end so as to be positionable by the robot.
  • the robot positions the output end of the laser with respect to the molding surface to direct light from the laser to impinge on the surface and remove residual material from the surface.
  • the present invention is a method of cleaning residual material from the molding surface of a mold comprising the following steps : providing a robot having an arm movable in a plurality of degrees of freedom and a laser connected with the robot and having an output end mounted to the arm; automatically moving the arm to align the output end of the laser with the molding surface; and activating the laser such that laser light impinges on the molding surface and removes residual material disposed on the surface.
  • the present invention is a system for cleaning a metallic object.
  • the system comprises a robot including an arm movable in a plurality of degrees of freedom, the arm having a free end.
  • a laser is connected with the robot and has an output end mounted to the arm proximal to the free end so as to be positionable by the robot.
  • a rotatable support is disposed proximal to the robot and is configured to support the object and rotate the object with respect to the output end of the laser.
  • One advantage of the present invention is that the cleaning apparatus is completely automatic. Another advantage of the present invention is that the beam of laser light is non-abrasive and does not damage the tire mold.
  • Another advantage of the present invention is that the laser light provides single pass cleaning of the tire mold as opposed to multiple passes required by existing systems.
  • Another advantage of the present invention is that the laser light also cleans the tire molds without generating a loud noise level. Still other benefits and advantages of the invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art to which it pertains upon a reading and understanding of the following detailed specification.

Thus, a tire mold 12 cleaned by the device 10 of the present invention is much more likely to be free of residual materials than a mold 12 cleaned using the hand-held laser system disclosed in the 5,373,140 patent to Nagy. Further, by having the rotatable support 48, 50, wear on the optical fibers that occurs with the Nagy device is not present with the robotic laser cleaning device 10. Further, the cleaning system 10 is quieter than cleaning systems using C0 2 pellets.

Abstract

Dispositif de nettoyage (10) qui permet de faire sortir le matériau résiduel d'un moule (12) possédant une surface de moulage (13). Le dispositif comprend un robot (14) doté d'un bras (16) pouvant se déplacer selon une pluralité de degrés de liberté et comportant une extrémité libre. Un laser (18) connecté au robot (14) comporte une extrémité de sortie montée sur le bras (16), près de son extrémité libre, de façon à pouvoir être positionnée par ledit robot. Un système de distribution optique (38) comprend une pluralité de fibres optiques, chaque fibre ayant une première extrémité connectée au laser (18) et une seconde extrémité, l'extrémité de sortie, fixée sur l'extrémité libre du bras du robot (14). Les extrémités de sortie des fibres optiques (42) sont alignées de façon que le laser forme un ruban de lumière (18b) sur la surface de moulage (13). Une unité de commande (46) connectée au robot (14) dirige le bras (16) de façon à lui faire effectuer au moins une série prédéterminée de mouvements. Un support rotatif (48, 54) est placé à proximité du robot (14) et le moule (12) est posé sur le support. Le robot (14) positionne l'extrémité de sortie du laser (18) par rapport à la surface de moulage (13) de façon à diriger la lumière (18a) émise par le laser. La lumière frappe la surface et en fait sortir le matériau résiduel, pendant que la rotation du support (48, 54) aligne les différentes parties de la surface de moulage avec l'extrémité de sortie du laser.
