しかしながら、ビード周りに折り返したカーカスバンド側部をカーカスバンド中央部に沿って折り返し、折返しアームを成型ドラム軸方向最外側位置に戻したあと、折り返されたカーカスバンド側部をカーカスバンド中央部に確実に接着させるため、タイヤ成型ドラムを高速で回転しながらステッチングを行うが、このとき、折返しアームの折返しローラに作用する遠心力によって折返しアームが開いてしまうという問題があり、この問題に対処するため、エラストマバンドの半径方向内側への揺動力を高めた場合には、カーカスバンド折り返し時に必要以上の押圧力をカーカスバンド側部に加えることとなり、カーカスバンド側部に折返しローラの条痕が残ってしまうこととなりこれも問題であった。   However, the side of the carcass band that is folded around the bead is folded back along the center of the carcass band, and after the folding arm is returned to the outermost position in the molding drum axial direction, the side of the folded carcass band is securely located at the center of the carcass band. Stitching is performed while rotating the tire molding drum at a high speed so that the folding arm is opened due to the centrifugal force acting on the folding roller of the folding arm. Therefore, when the swinging force of the elastomer band inward in the radial direction is increased, a pressing force more than necessary is applied to the side of the carcass band when the carcass band is folded back, and the streak of the folding roller remains on the side of the carcass band. This was also a problem.

本発明は、このような問題点に鑑みてなされたものであり、折り返したカーカスバンドの側部に条痕を残すことなくカーカスバンド側部を折り返すことができ、しかも、タイヤ成型ドラムを高速回転させた時にも、折返しアームが開くことのないカーカスバンド折り返し装置を提供するることを目的とする。   The present invention has been made in view of such a problem, and the side portion of the carcass band can be folded without leaving a streak on the side portion of the folded carcass band, and the tire molding drum can be rotated at high speed. An object of the present invention is to provide a carcass band folding device in which the folding arm does not open even when the folding arm is opened.

<1>本発明は、タイヤ成型ドラムの周方向に並んで配置され、対をなすビードロック手段の軸方向外側に位置する基端部を中心として半径方向内外に揺動可能に設けられた複数本の折返しアームと、それぞれの折返しアームの先端部に回転可能に支持された折返しローラと、折返しアームのそれぞれをまとめて軸方向に往復変位させるアーム移動手段と、それらの折返しアームを束ねて成型ドラム半径方向内側へ揺動させるエラストマバンドとを具え、折返しアームの半径方向外側への揺動により、前記ビードロック手段によって支持されたそれぞれのビードコアのタイヤ軸方向外側に位置する円筒状のカーカスバンド側部を、それらのビードコアの間で略半円状に膨出されたカーカスバンド中央部に沿って、ビードコアの回りに折り返すカーカスバンド折り返し装置において、
それぞれの折返しアームに、それらの軸方向最外側位置への変位下で、前記基端部の軸方向外側の位置で軸方向外側に向く姿勢となる突起を配設するとともに、折返しアームの前記最外側位置への変位下でこの突起の半径方向内側の面と対向する面を有するストッパ部材を設け、このストッパ部材を、タイヤ成型ドラムの回転による突起の半径方向内側への変位を抑制するよう構成してなるカーカスバンド折り返し装置である。
<1> The present invention is arranged in a row in the circumferential direction of the tire molding drum, and is provided in a plurality so as to be able to swing inward and outward in the radial direction around a base end portion positioned outside in the axial direction of a pair of bead lock means. A folding arm of a book, a folding roller rotatably supported at the tip of each folding arm, an arm moving means for reciprocating the folding arms together in the axial direction, and bundling the folding arms together A cylindrical carcass band that is provided on the outer side in the tire axial direction of each bead core supported by the bead lock means by swinging outward in the radial direction of the folding arm. Fold the sides around the bead core along the center of the carcass band that swells in a semicircular shape between the bead cores. In Kasubando wrapping apparatus,
Each of the folding arms is provided with a projection that is in an axially outward position at a position on the outer side in the axial direction of the base end portion under the displacement to the outermost position in the axial direction. A stopper member having a surface facing the radially inner surface of the protrusion under displacement to the outer position is provided, and the stopper member is configured to suppress the displacement of the protrusion inward in the radial direction due to rotation of the tire molding drum. This is a carcass band folding device.

<2>本発明は、<1>において、前記ストッパ部材に、折返しアームの前記最外側位置への変位下で、前記突起の軸方向外側の面に当接する面を設けてなるカーカスバンド折り返し装置である。   <2> The present invention provides the carcass band folding device according to <1>, wherein the stopper member is provided with a surface that abuts against the axially outer surface of the projection under the displacement of the folding arm to the outermost position. It is.

<3>本発明は、<1>もしくは<2>において、各折返しアームの先端部に支持される折返しローラは、首振部材を介して二本設けられ、首振部材は、折返しアームの先端部に軸支された長さ方向中央部を揺動中心として成型ドラム半径方向内外に揺動可能に設けられ、これらの折返しローラは、首振り部材の長さ方向両端部にそれぞれの回転軸を成型ドラム周方向に向けて配置されてなるカーカスバンド折り返し装置である。   <3> In the present invention, in <1> or <2>, two folding rollers supported by the tip of each folding arm are provided via a swinging member, and the swinging member is the tip of the folding arm. These folding rollers are provided so that they can swing in and out of the radial direction of the molding drum with the central portion in the length direction supported by the shaft as the swing center. This is a carcass band folding device arranged in the circumferential direction of the molding drum.

<4>本発明は、<3>において、首振り部材の長さ方向両端部に支持されるそれぞれの折返しローラは、それらを支持する、首振り部材のそれぞれのローラ支持部によって成型ドラム周方向両側に二分割されて配置されるとともに、二分割された一方の部分は首振り部材から成型ドラム周方向に突出するよう設けられ、それらの突出する向きをそれらの折返しローラで互いに逆向とし、一方の折返しローラを支持する前記ローラ支持部の成型ドラム周方向延在角度範囲が、他方の折返しローラの二分割された他方の部分の成型ドラム周方向延在角度範囲内に含まれるよう構成されてなるカーカスバンド折り返し装置である。   <4> In the present invention, in <3>, the folding rollers supported at both ends in the length direction of the swing member are supported by the roller support portions of the swing member in the circumferential direction of the molding drum. The two divided parts are arranged on both sides, and one of the divided parts is provided so as to protrude from the swinging member in the circumferential direction of the molding drum, and the protruding directions thereof are opposite to each other by the folding rollers. The forming drum circumferential direction extending angle range of the roller supporting portion that supports the folding roller is configured to be included in the molding drum circumferential direction extending angle range of the other divided part of the other folding roller. This is a carcass band folding device.

<1>の発明によれば、それぞれの折返しアームに、それらの軸方向最外側位置への変位下で、前記基端部の軸方向外側の位置で軸方向外側に向く姿勢となる突起を配設するとともに、折返しアームの前記最外側位置への変位下でこの突起の半径方向内側の面と対向する面を有するストッパ部材を設けたので、これらの突起とストッパ部材との作用により、タイヤ成型ドラムを高速回転させたときでも、軸方向最外側位置に位置させた折返しアームが開くのを防止することができ、エラストマバンドの揺動力をカーカスバンドの側部の折返しに十分な最低限の強さに調整して、カーカスバンド側部に折返しローラの条痕を残るという問題を解消することができる。
特に、サイドウォール部材を、カーカス部材の幅方向両端からさらに外側に延在させて配置したカーカスバンドの側部を折り返す場合、サイドウォール部材を、その表面を折返しローラで押さえつけながら折り返すので、柔らかいサイドウォール部材にはカーカス部材より折返しローラの条痕が残りやすく、この点において、本発明は、サイドウォール部材付のカーカスバンドの側部を折返す用途において一層大きな効果をもたらすことができる。
According to the invention of <1>, a protrusion is disposed on each folded arm so as to be directed outward in the axial direction at a position on the outer side in the axial direction of the base end portion under the displacement to the outermost position in the axial direction. And provided with a stopper member having a surface that faces the radially inner surface of the projection under the displacement of the folding arm to the outermost position. Even when the drum is rotated at a high speed, it is possible to prevent the folding arm located at the outermost position in the axial direction from opening, and the oscillation force of the elastomer band is the minimum strength sufficient for folding the side of the carcass band. By adjusting the height, it is possible to solve the problem that the streak of the folding roller remains on the side of the carcass band.
In particular, when the side portion of the carcass band in which the side wall member is extended further outward from both ends in the width direction of the carcass member is folded back, the side wall member is folded back while pressing the surface with a folding roller. The wall member is more likely to leave the mark of the folding roller than the carcass member. In this respect, the present invention can bring about a greater effect in the application of folding the side portion of the carcass band with the sidewall member.

<2>の発明によれば、折返しアームの前記最外側位置への変位下で、半径方向内側に向く面と軸方向外側に向く面との両方で、突起の変位をストッパ部材で規制できる配置に構成したので、より確実に、タイヤ成型ドラム高速回転下での折返しアームの半径方向外側への揺動を抑制することができる。   According to the invention <2>, the displacement of the protrusion can be regulated by the stopper member on both the radially inward surface and the axially outward surface under the displacement of the folding arm to the outermost position. Since it comprised in this, rocking | fluctuation to the radial direction outer side of the folding | turning arm under high speed rotation of a tire shaping | molding drum can be suppressed more reliably.

<3>の発明によれば、折返しアームの先端部に揺動自在に連結された首振り部材の長さ方向両端部にそれぞれ軸支されている折返しローラをカーカスバンド側部に転がり接触させて折り返すことができるので、エラストマバンドによる揺動力を、カーカスバンド中央部への均一な押圧力に変換することができ、カーカスバンド側部のカーカスバンド中央部への圧着を均一化することができる。   According to the invention <3>, the folding rollers respectively pivotally supported at both ends in the length direction of the swinging member that is swingably connected to the tip of the folding arm are brought into rolling contact with the side portion of the carcass band. Since it can be folded back, the swinging force generated by the elastomer band can be converted into a uniform pressing force to the center portion of the carcass band, and the crimping of the side portion of the carcass band to the center portion of the carcass band can be made uniform.

<4>の発明によれば、このタイヤ成型ドラムによれば、一つの首振り部材の長さ方向両端に取り付けられたそれぞれの折返しローラは首振り部材から互いに周方向反対側に突出して設けられ、すなわち、これらのローラは折返しアームに段違いに取り付けられるので、折返しアームの先端部を縮径して、隣接する先端部同士の間隔を狭めても、隣接する折返しアームの間に突出する一方の折返しアームのローラと他方の折返しアームのローラとは互いに干渉することがなく、このことにより、折返しアームを周方向に密に配置して、折返しアームの先端部が拡径した状態において、対をなす折返しローラのいずれによっても圧着されない、カーカスバンド側部の部分をなくすことができ、カーカスバンド中央部とカーカスバンド側部との接着を一層強固なものにすることができる。   According to the invention <4>, according to the tire molding drum, the folding rollers attached to both ends in the length direction of one swing member are provided so as to protrude from the swing member to the opposite sides in the circumferential direction. That is, these rollers are attached to the folding arms in steps, so that even if the diameter of the tip of the folding arm is reduced and the interval between the adjacent tips is narrowed, one of the rollers protruding between the neighboring folding arms The roller of the folding arm and the roller of the other folding arm do not interfere with each other, so that when the folding arms are arranged densely in the circumferential direction and the tip of the folding arm is expanded in diameter, a pair is formed. The side of the carcass band that is not crimped by any of the folding rollers formed can be eliminated, and the contact between the center of the carcass band and the side of the carcass band can be eliminated. It is possible to further strengthen.

また、首振り部材の両端部に取り付けられたそれぞれの折返しローラは、首振り部材の、これらのローラを支持するローラ支持部の両側に二分割されるので、折返し途中において、隣接するローラの間でこれらの半径方向外側に張り渡されるカーカスバンド側部部分が、回転しない支持部分に当接してカーカスバンド側部を傷つけるのを防止することができる。   In addition, each folding roller attached to both ends of the swinging member is divided into two on both sides of the roller support part of the swinging member that supports these rollers. Thus, it is possible to prevent the carcass band side portion extending radially outward from coming into contact with the non-rotating support portion and damaging the carcass band side portion.

アーム移動手段30は、スライダ4の周上に固定されたシリンダベース32と、シリンダベース32の外周上を摺動する第一摺動壁33および第二摺動壁34と、これらの摺動壁33、34を連結する円筒壁37と、シリンダベース32外周上に固定されて設けられた固定区画壁31とを具えて構成され、固定壁31と、第一摺動壁33と円筒壁37とは、第一圧力室36aを形成し、固定壁31と、第二摺動壁34と円筒壁37とは、同様に、第二圧力室36bを形成する。   The arm moving means 30 includes a cylinder base 32 fixed on the circumference of the slider 4, a first sliding wall 33 and a second sliding wall 34 that slide on the outer circumference of the cylinder base 32, and these sliding walls. And a fixed partition wall 31 fixedly provided on the outer periphery of the cylinder base 32. The fixed wall 31, the first sliding wall 33, the cylindrical wall 37, Forms the first pressure chamber 36a, and the fixed wall 31, the second sliding wall 34 and the cylindrical wall 37 similarly form the second pressure chamber 36b.

なお、固定壁31、第一摺動壁33、および、第二摺動壁34は、タイヤ成型ドラム中心軸廻りに環状に形成され、また、図中、35a、35bは、第一圧力室36a、第二圧力室36bに対してそれぞれ加圧空気を出し入れするためのエア穴を表わす。   The fixed wall 31, the first sliding wall 33, and the second sliding wall 34 are formed in an annular shape around the center axis of the tire molding drum, and in the figure, reference numerals 35a and 35b denote the first pressure chamber 36a. , Air holes for taking pressurized air into and out of the second pressure chamber 36b.

そして、折返しアーム11の基端部17のそれぞれは、第一摺動壁33に固定されていて、エア穴35aからエアを第一圧力室36aに供給すると同時に、エア穴35bから第二圧力室36b内のエアを排気することにより、第一摺動壁33を軸方向外側に加圧して、折返しアーム11を軸方向外側に変位させることができ、また、エア穴35bからエアを第二圧力室36bに供給すると同時に、エア穴35aから第一圧力室36a内のエアを排気することにより、第二摺動壁34を軸方向内側に加圧して、折返しアーム11を軸方向内側に変位させることができる。   Each of the proximal end portions 17 of the folding arm 11 is fixed to the first sliding wall 33, and air is supplied from the air hole 35a to the first pressure chamber 36a, and at the same time from the air hole 35b to the second pressure chamber. By exhausting the air in 36b, the first sliding wall 33 can be pressurized outward in the axial direction, and the folding arm 11 can be displaced outward in the axial direction. Simultaneously with the supply to the chamber 36b, the air in the first pressure chamber 36a is exhausted from the air hole 35a, whereby the second sliding wall 34 is pressurized inward in the axial direction and the folding arm 11 is displaced inward in the axial direction. be able to.

それぞれの折返しアーム11には、それらの軸方向最外側位置への変位下で、すなわち、図2(a)に示す状態において、基端部17の軸方向外側の位置で軸方向外側に向く姿勢となる突起12が配設されるとともに、折返しアーム11のこの最外側位置への変位下でこの突起12の半径方向内側の面と対向する面を有するストッパ部材13が設けられる。
すなわち、突起12の半径方向内側に向く面12aに対向する面として、面13aがストッパ部材13に設けられる。これらの対をなす面の他に、突起12には、折返しアーム11の軸方向最外側位置への変位下で軸方向外側に向く面12bが設けられ、ストッパ部材13には、この面12bに当接する面13bが設けられる。
Each folding arm 11 has an attitude toward the outside in the axial direction under the displacement to the outermost position in the axial direction, that is, in the state shown in FIG. And a stopper member 13 having a surface facing the radially inner surface of the protrusion 12 under the displacement of the folding arm 11 to the outermost position.
That is, the surface 13 a is provided on the stopper member 13 as a surface facing the surface 12 a facing the radially inner side of the protrusion 12. In addition to these pairs of surfaces, the projection 12 is provided with a surface 12b facing outward in the axial direction under displacement of the folding arm 11 to the axially outermost position, and the stopper member 13 is provided with this surface 12b. An abutting surface 13b is provided.

ステッチング等のためのタイヤ成型ドラム1の高速回転に際し、折返しアーム11の先端部に設けられた折返しローラ14に作用する遠心力によりそれぞれの折返しアーム11は、エラストマバンド15の半径方向内側への力に抗して半径方向外側に開き、他の装置との干渉を招いてしまうという問題に対し、突起12の面12aにストッパ部材13の面13aを対向させて配置することにより、折返しアーム11が開くとき半径方向内側に移動する突起12の変位を抑制し、したがって、折返しアーム11の半径方向外側への開きを防止することができ、さらに、突起12の面12bとストッパ部材13の面13bとの当接により、この抑制を確実なものとすることができる。また、折返しアーム11は、軸方向最外側位置から離れたときには、ストッパ部材13が突起に対向することはないので、半径方向外側に開くことができ、カーカスバンド折返し装置10は、所期の折返しの作動を行うことができる。   When the tire molding drum 1 is rotated at a high speed for stitching or the like, each folding arm 11 is moved radially inward of the elastomer band 15 by a centrifugal force acting on a folding roller 14 provided at the tip of the folding arm 11. With respect to the problem of opening to the outside in the radial direction against the force and causing interference with other devices, the folding arm 11 is arranged by disposing the surface 13a of the stopper member 13 so as to face the surface 12a of the protrusion 12. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the displacement of the protrusion 12 that moves inward in the radial direction when the arm opens, and thus it is possible to prevent the folding arm 11 from opening outward in the radial direction, and the surface 12b of the protrusion 12 and the surface 13b of the stopper member 13 This contact can be surely prevented. Further, when the folding arm 11 is separated from the outermost position in the axial direction, the stopper member 13 does not face the protrusion, so that it can be opened radially outward, and the carcass band folding device 10 can perform the intended folding. Can be operated.

このように構成されたカーカスバンド折返し装置10において、折返しアーム11の軸方向最外側位置への変位下では、折返しアーム21の先端部は縮径状態にあり、折返しローラ14は、溝となって周方向に延在するローラ配置部16に静置されているが、アーム移動手段30によって折返しアーム11を軸方向内側に変位させると、折返しローラ14はローラ配置部16の傾斜面に沿って半径方向外側に向かって移動し、カーカスバンド中央部CBCが膨出した状態においては、傾斜面を越えてさらにカーカスバンド外輪郭線に沿って半径方向外側に移動する。   In the carcass band folding device 10 configured as described above, when the folding arm 11 is displaced to the axially outermost position, the tip of the folding arm 21 is in a reduced diameter state, and the folding roller 14 becomes a groove. Although it is stationary on the roller arrangement part 16 extending in the circumferential direction, when the folding arm 11 is displaced inward in the axial direction by the arm moving means 30, the folding roller 14 has a radius along the inclined surface of the roller arrangement part 16. When the carcass band central portion CBC bulges out in the direction outward, it further moves outward in the radial direction along the carcass band outer contour line beyond the inclined surface.

このとき、エアラストマバンド15による半径方向内側への力が折返しアーム21に作用し、この力によって、折返しローラ14は、カーカスバンド側部CBSを折返しながら半径方向内側に押さえ込みカーカスバンド中央部に圧着させることができる。   At this time, a radially inward force by the airlastoma band 15 acts on the folding arm 21, and by this force, the folding roller 14 pushes the carcass band side part CBS back inward in the radial direction to the central part of the carcass band. Can be crimped.

図3および図4は、このカーカスバンド折返し装置10を用いてグリーンタイヤを成型する工程を例示する、成型途中のタイヤの断面図である。まず、図3(a)に示すように、ビードコアBとビードフィラ部材Fとを予めプリセットしてなるプリセットビードPB、および、カーカス部材Cにインナーライナ部材IL、サイドウォール部材S、キャンバスチェーファ部材CF等の部材が組み付けられた、全体として円筒状をなすカーカスバンドCBをタイヤ成型ドラム1の外周側に配置する。   3 and 4 are cross-sectional views of a tire in the middle of molding, illustrating a process of molding a green tire using the carcass band folding device 10. First, as shown in FIG. 3A, a preset bead PB in which a bead core B and a bead filler member F are preset, and a carcass member C with an inner liner member IL, a sidewall member S, and a canvas chafer member CF. A carcass band CB having a generally cylindrical shape, on which members such as the above are assembled, is disposed on the outer peripheral side of the tire molding drum 1.

次いで、図3(b)に示すように、ビードロック手段7のビードロックセグメント71を、図1に示すビードロックピストン37を前進変位させて、リンク72の作用下で、拡径作動させてビードコアBをロックし、図3(c)に示すように、左右のビードコアBを、それぞれに対応するビードロックセグメント71でロックしたまま、図1に示すスライダ4の作用下で、近接変位させながら、センターブラダ9に密閉された空間を加圧してビードコアB間に延在するカーカスバンドCBの中央部CBCをトロイダル状に膨出させる。   Next, as shown in FIG. 3B, the bead lock segment 71 of the bead lock means 7 is forwardly displaced by the bead lock piston 37 shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 3 (c), the left and right bead cores B are locked by the corresponding bead lock segments 71, and are moved close to each other under the action of the slider 4 shown in FIG. The space sealed in the center bladder 9 is pressurized to bulge the central portion CBC of the carcass band CB extending between the bead cores B in a toroidal shape.

次いで、図4(a)に示すように、剛性支持部材60aを、その側面がビードコアBの半径方向位置に対応する高さまで拡径変位させこれをその位置で保持し、カーカスバンド折返し装置10を作動させて折返しアーム11の基端部17を軸方向内側に向けて変位させ、サイドウォール部材Sを含むカーカスバンド側部CBSの折返しを開始する。   Next, as shown in FIG. 4 (a), the side surface of the rigid support member 60a is expanded to a height corresponding to the radial position of the bead core B, and this is held at that position. By actuating, the base end portion 17 of the folding arm 11 is displaced inward in the axial direction, and folding of the carcass band side portion CBS including the sidewall member S is started.

続いて、図4(b)に示すように、折返しローラ14をカーカスバンド中央部CBCの外輪郭線に沿って半径方向外側に変位させ、カーカスバンド側部CBSの折返しを終了する。なお、折返しローラ14でカーカスバンド側部CBSを折り返すに際して、拡径する折返しローラ14の半径方向位置に応じて、いつもこれらと剛性支持部材60aの側面とが対向するよう剛性支持部材60aを折返しローラ14の拡径と同期させて拡径変位させることが好ましく、このことにより、カーカスバンド側部CBSのカーカスバンド中央部CBCへの圧着を確実にすることができる。   Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 4B, the folding roller 14 is displaced radially outward along the outer contour line of the carcass band central portion CBC, and the folding of the carcass band side portion CBS is completed. When the carcass band side portion CBS is folded by the folding roller 14, the rigid support member 60a is always folded so that the side surface of the rigid support member 60a faces each other according to the radial position of the folding roller 14 whose diameter is increased. It is preferable to carry out the diameter expansion displacement in synchronism with the diameter expansion of 14, so that the crimping of the carcass band side part CBS to the carcass band center part CBC can be ensured.

次に、折返しローラ14を元通り半径方向内側に変位させたあと、図4(c)に示すように、成型ドラム1を回転させながら、表面にローレット加工を施したステッチングローラ38で、サイドウォール部材Sを含むカーカスバンド側部CBSの折返し端の近傍を圧着する。   Next, after the folding roller 14 is originally displaced radially inward, as shown in FIG. 4 (c), the side of the side surface is rotated by the stitching roller 38 whose surface is knurled while the molding drum 1 is rotated. The vicinity of the folded end of the carcass band side portion CBS including the wall member S is crimped.

この後の工程は図示しないが、剛性支持部材60aをさらに最大径まで拡径させ、剛性支持部材60aを支持体として、カーカスバンドCBの外側にベルト部材、トレッド部材、ゴムチェーファ部材などを貼付けてグリーンタイヤを完成させたあと、剛性支持部材60aを縮径して、成型ドラム1からグリーンタイヤを取り出し次工程に送達して工程を終了する。
なお、上記の説明においては、サイドウォール部材Sは、カーカスバンドCBの一部として組み付けたあと折り返したが、サイドウォール部材Sを、カーカスバンドCBの一部とせずに、折返したあとのカーカスバンド側部CBSの軸方向外側に組み付けることもできる。
Although the subsequent steps are not shown in the drawings, the rigid support member 60a is further expanded to the maximum diameter, and a belt member, a tread member, a rubber chafer member, etc. are pasted on the outside of the carcass band CB using the rigid support member 60a as a support. After the tire is completed, the diameter of the rigid support member 60a is reduced, the green tire is taken out from the molding drum 1 and delivered to the next process, and the process ends.
In the above description, the side wall member S is folded after being assembled as a part of the carcass band CB. However, the side wall member S is not part of the carcass band CB, but is turned back. It can also be assembled to the outside in the axial direction of the side part CBS.

以上説明したカーカスバンド折返し装置10は、それぞれの折返しアーム11の先端部に折返しローラ14を一個ずつ具える構成としたが、この先端部だけを別のものに置き換えた変形例について説明する。図5は、この変形例のカーカスバンド折返し装置20の、折返しアーム21の先端部の詳細を示す正面図であり、図6は、折返しアーム21の拡縮態様を軸方向から見た図であり、図5において、実線は折返しアーム21の先端が縮径した状態、二点鎖線はこれが中間径まで拡径した状態を示し、図6においては、実線は折返しアーム21の先端が拡径した状態を示し、二点鎖線はこれが縮径した状態を示す。   The carcass band folding device 10 described above has a configuration in which one folding roller 14 is provided at the tip of each folding arm 11, but a modification in which only this tip is replaced with another one will be described. FIG. 5 is a front view showing details of the distal end portion of the folding arm 21 of the carcass band folding device 20 of this modification, and FIG. 6 is a view of the expansion / contraction mode of the folding arm 21 as seen from the axial direction. In FIG. 5, the solid line indicates a state in which the tip of the folded arm 21 is reduced in diameter, and the two-dot chain line indicates a state in which the diameter of the folded arm 21 is expanded to an intermediate diameter, and in FIG. The two-dot chain line indicates a state where the diameter is reduced.

カーカスバンド折返し装置20において、折返しアーム21の先端部には、長さ方向中央部を中心に半径方向に揺動する首振り部材22が揺動ピン25を介して取り付けられ、さらに、首振り部材22の長さ方向両端部には、揺動ピン25と平行に設けられたそれぞれの軸の周りを回転する折返しローラ23、24が取り付けられる。各折返しアーム21の首振り部材22に取り付けられたそれぞれの折返しローラ23、24は互いに長さ方向、すなわちタイヤ成型ドラム1の半径方向もしくは軸方向に前後して配置されるとともに、首振り部材22から周方向に突出して設けられ、これらの突出する向きは、これらのローラ23、24で互いに逆向きになる。   In the carcass band folding device 20, a swinging member 22 that swings in the radial direction around the central portion in the length direction is attached to the tip of the folding arm 21 via a swinging pin 25. Folding rollers 23 and 24 that rotate around respective axes provided in parallel with the swing pin 25 are attached to both ends in the length direction of 22. The folding rollers 23 and 24 attached to the swinging member 22 of each folding arm 21 are arranged back and forth in the length direction, that is, in the radial direction or the axial direction of the tire molding drum 1, and the swinging member 22. These rollers 23 and 24 are opposite to each other in the protruding direction.

また、それぞれのローラ23、24は、首振り部材22の、これらのローラ軸を支持する部分22a、22bの両側に二分割され、ローラ23は、突出側ローラ23a、非突出側ローラ23bに、ローラ24は、突出側ローラ24a、非突出側ローラ24bに分割される。このとき、一方の折返しローラ24もしくは23に対応するそれぞれのローラ回転軸支持部分22aもしくは22bの周方向延在角度範囲は、他方の折返しローラ23もしくは24の周方向角度範囲内に位置させてなる。   Each of the rollers 23 and 24 is divided into two parts on both sides of the portions 22a and 22b of the swinging member 22 supporting these roller shafts. The roller 23 is divided into a protruding roller 23a and a non-projecting roller 23b. The roller 24 is divided into a projecting side roller 24a and a non-projecting side roller 24b. At this time, the circumferential extension angle range of each roller rotating shaft support portion 22a or 22b corresponding to one folding roller 24 or 23 is located within the circumferential angle range of the other folding roller 23 or 24. .

このカーカスバンド折返し装置20においては、折返しアーム21の先端部に首振り部材22が設けられので、折返しアーム21の先端部に加えられるカーカスバンド押圧力は、首振り部材22の働きにより、カーカスバンド中央部の外輪郭形状、および、外輪郭上の位置に拘らず、それぞれの折返しローラ23、24に均等に分配され、均一で滑らかな折り返しを可能にすることができる。   In the carcass band folding device 20, the swinging member 22 is provided at the tip of the folding arm 21, so that the carcass band pressing force applied to the tip of the folding arm 21 is caused by the action of the swinging member 22. Regardless of the outer contour shape of the central portion and the position on the outer contour, it is evenly distributed to the respective folding rollers 23 and 24, and uniform and smooth folding can be realized.

また、これらのローラ23、24は、折返しアーム21の周方向両側に段違いに取り付けられているので、折返しアーム21の先端部を縮径して、隣接する先端部同士の間隔を狭めても、隣接するアーム21の間に突出する一方のアーム21のローラ23と他方のアーム21のローラ24とは互いに干渉することがなく、隣接するアーム21の間隔を最小にすることができ、このことにより、アーム21を周方向に密に配置して、アーム21の先端部が拡径した状態において、ローラ23、24のいずれによっても圧着されない、カーカスバンド側部CBS部分をなくすことができ、従って、カーカスバンド中央部CBCとカーカスバンド側部CBSの接着を強固なものにすることができる。   In addition, since these rollers 23 and 24 are attached in steps on both sides in the circumferential direction of the folding arm 21, even if the distal end portion of the folding arm 21 is reduced in diameter and the interval between the adjacent distal end portions is narrowed, The roller 23 of one arm 21 and the roller 24 of the other arm 21 projecting between the adjacent arms 21 do not interfere with each other, and the distance between the adjacent arms 21 can be minimized. In the state where the arms 21 are densely arranged in the circumferential direction and the tip portion of the arm 21 is expanded in diameter, it is possible to eliminate the carcass band side CBS portion which is not pressure-bonded by any of the rollers 23 and 24. The adhesion between the carcass band center part CBC and the carcass band side part CBS can be strengthened.

また、それぞれのローラ23、24は、首振り部材22の、これらのローラ軸を支持する部分22a、22bの両側に二分割されているが、これは、もし、ローラ23、24が支持部分22a、22bの一方側だけに設けられていた場合には、折返し途中において、隣接する折返しアーム21の間でこれらの半径方向外側に張り渡されるカーカスバンド側部CBSの部分が、回転しない支持部分22aに当接してカーカスバンド側部CBSを傷つける危険性があるという問題を防止することができる。   Each of the rollers 23 and 24 is divided into two on both sides of the portions 22a and 22b of the swinging member 22 that support these roller shafts. This is because the rollers 23 and 24 are supported by the support portion 22a. , 22b, the portion of the carcass band side portion CBS stretched radially outward between the adjacent folding arms 21 in the middle of the folding is a supporting portion 22a that does not rotate. It is possible to prevent a problem that there is a risk of damaging the carcass band side portion CBS by abutting against the carcass band.

このとき、一方の折返しローラ24もしくは23に対応するそれぞれのローラ回転軸支持部分22aもしくは22bの周方向延在領域は、他方の折返しローラ23もしくは24の周方向延在領域内に位置させているので、ローラ24、23の何れによっても圧着されないカーカスバンド側部CBSの部分が残ることを防止できる。   At this time, the circumferentially extending region of each roller rotating shaft support portion 22a or 22b corresponding to one folding roller 24 or 23 is positioned within the circumferentially extending region of the other folding roller 23 or 24. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the portion of the carcass band side portion CBS that is not pressure-bonded by any of the rollers 24 and 23 from remaining.

以上の説明において、カーカスバンド折返し装置10を、コア体60が一個であり軸方向中央に位置するタイヤ成型ドラム1に搭載したものについて説明したが、これを、軸方向に互いに離隔接近変位可能に設けられた一対のコア体を有するタイヤ成型ドラムにも同様にして搭載することができ、同様の作用効果をもたらすことができる。   In the above description, the carcass band folding device 10 has been described as being mounted on the tire molding drum 1 having one core body 60 and positioned in the center in the axial direction, but this can be moved away from each other in the axial direction. It can be similarly mounted on a tire molding drum having a pair of core bodies provided, and similar effects can be achieved.

図7は、軸方向に相互に離隔接近する一対のコア体のタイヤ成型ドラムを、図1に対応させて示す断面図であり、図1と同様の部分には同じ符号を付けた。図7(a)は、対をなすビードロック手段7およびコア体60Bを拡径するとともに、これらのビードロック手段7を近接変位させた状態を表わし、図1(b)は、ビードロック手段7およびコア体60Bを縮径するとともに、これらのビードロック手段7およびコア体60Bを軸方向に離隔変位させた状態を表わす。   FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view showing a pair of core body tire molding drums that are spaced apart and approaching each other in the axial direction, corresponding to FIG. 1, and the same parts as those in FIG. FIG. 7A shows a state in which the diameter of the pair of bead lock means 7 and the core body 60B is increased and these bead lock means 7 are displaced in proximity, and FIG. 1B shows the bead lock means 7. In addition, the diameter of the core body 60B is reduced, and the bead lock means 7 and the core body 60B are separated and displaced in the axial direction.

このタイヤ成型ドラムにおいても、一対のビードロック手段7および一対のカーカスバンド折返し手段10は、スライダ4に搭載されて成型ドラムの軸方向に互いに離隔接近するよう構成されており、この点において、図1に示したものと同様である。   Also in this tire molding drum, the pair of bead lock means 7 and the pair of carcass band folding means 10 are mounted on the slider 4 so as to be spaced apart from each other in the axial direction of the molding drum. This is the same as that shown in FIG.

これが、図1に示したものと異なる点は、コア体60Bが対をなし、一対のコア体60Bは、スライダ4に搭載されて軸方向に相互に離隔接近するとともに、周方向に環状に並んだ複数の剛体セグメント60Cで構成され、セグメント拡縮機構63により、リンク62を介して、それぞれの剛体セグメント60Cを、ガイド65A、65Bに沿って拡縮径変位させるよう構成される。この形態においては、一対のコア体60Bを相互に離隔接近させることにより、異なる幅のグリーンタイヤを、コア体60Bを取り替えることなく成型することができる。   1 differs from that shown in FIG. 1 in that the core bodies 60B form a pair, and the pair of core bodies 60B are mounted on the slider 4 so as to be spaced apart from each other in the axial direction and arranged in a ring in the circumferential direction. The plurality of rigid body segments 60C are configured so that the segment expansion / contraction mechanism 63 displaces each rigid body segment 60C through the link 62 along the guides 65A and 65B. In this embodiment, the green tires having different widths can be molded without replacing the core body 60B by moving the pair of core bodies 60B apart from each other.

この発明は、周上でカーカスバンドを折返すタイヤ成型装置に用いることができる。   The present invention can be used in a tire molding apparatus that turns a carcass band around the circumference.
