Abstract
A device (30) for supporting a tyre (10) during a water jet milling process, the device (30) comprising: a carrier assembly (42) having an axis (60), the carrier assembly (42) carrying a first stabilising member (46) and a second stabilising member (50) for inserting into a cavity (17) defined by an inner liner of a tyre, the carrier assembly (42) further carrying at least one support structure (54) disposed axially between the first and second stabilising members (46, 50), the at least one support structure (54) comprising a support surface (76); wherein the first and second stabilising members (46, 50) are relatively moveable along the longitudinal axis (60) so as to vary an axial distance between the first and second stabilising members (46, 50); and wherein the at least one support structure (54) is moveable to a support position in which the support surface (76) is substantially aligned with or positioned radially outward from a radially outer edge of the first and/or second stabilising member so as to form at least a part of a support region (70) for supporting the tyre (10).
Claims (29)
1. A device for supporting a tyre during a water jet milling process, the device comprising: a carrier assembly having an axis, the carrier assembly carrying a first stabilising member and a second stabilising member for inserting into a cavity defined by an inner liner of a tyre, the carrier assembly further carrying at least one support structure disposed axially between the first and second stabilising members, the at least one support structure comprising a support surface; wherein the first and second stabilising members are relatively moveable along the longitudinal axis so as to vary an axial distance between the first and second stabilising members; and wherein the at least one support structure is moveable to a support position in which the support surface is substantially aligned with or positioned radially outward from a radially outer edge of the first and/or second stabilising member so as to form at least a part of a support region for supporting the tyre.
2. The device according to claim 1 , wherein an actuator for controlling the movement of the support structure to the support position is coupled between the carrier assembly and the support structure.
3. The device according to claim 2, wherein the actuator is a pneumatic actuator.
4. The device according to any previous claim, wherein the support structure is moveable so that the support structure is fully contained within a cross-section of the first and/or second stabilising member.
5. The device according to any previous claim, wherein the support structure is pivotally coupled to the carrier assembly.
6. The device according to any previous claim, wherein the at least one support structure is moveable along the axis.

21. The device according to claim 20, wherein the concentric shaft comprises an inner shaft for carrying a first support structure of the at least one support structure, and an outer shaft for carrying a second support structure of the at least one support structure.
22. The device according to any previous claim, wherein each of the first stabilising member, the second stabilising member, and the at least one support structure are independently moveable along the axis.
23. The device according to any previous claim, wherein the support region extends across more than 50 %, optionally more than 60 %, optionally more than 70 %, optionally more than 80 %, or optionally more than 90 % of the axial distance between the first and second stabilising members.
24. A method of supporting a tyre using the device according to any previous claim, the method comprising the steps of: a. inserting the first and second stabilising members into a cavity defined by an inner liner of the tyre to be supported; b. increasing the axial distance between the first and second stabilising members; and c. moving the support structure to the support position so that the support surface of the support structure is substantially aligned with or positioned radially outward from the radially outer edge of the first and/or second stabilising member so as to form at least a part of the support region for supporting the tyre.
25. The method according to claim 24, wherein step b) comprises increasing the axial distance between the first and second stabilising members so as to tension the inner liner of the tyre being supported.
26. A water jet milling apparatus comprising the device according to any of claims 1 to 23.
27. A method of water jet milling a tyre comprising the steps of: a. supporting the tyre using the device of any of claims 1 to 23; b. impacting a tread region of the tyre with an ultra-high pressure water (UHPW) jet to at least partially remove particles from the tread region; and c. collecting the particles that are removed.
28. The method according to claim 27 further comprising the step of impacting at least one sidewall region of the tyre with a second ultra-high pressure water jet to at least partially remove particles from the sidewall region.
