Description

  The present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for manufacturing a bladder for tire vulcanization, and more particularly to a method and an apparatus for manufacturing a bladder for tire vulcanization that can further improve the productivity and quality of a tire.

  In the tire vulcanization process, a contracted tire vulcanization bladder is inserted inside a green tire disposed in a tire mold. Thereafter, with the mold closed, a heating medium and a pressure medium are injected into the bladder to inflate the bladder to vulcanize the green tire. After vulcanization for a predetermined time, the mold is opened, the medium inside the bladder is discharged and the bladder is contracted to peel the bladder from the tire inner surface, and the vulcanized tire is extracted from the bladder.

  The entire tire vulcanizing bladder is made of rubber, and is repeatedly expanded and contracted as described above (see, for example, Patent Document 1). This bladder is not designed exclusively for each tire type, but is designed so that one type of bladder can handle vulcanization of several types of tires. Therefore, before tire vulcanization, the bladder is expanded and contracted (so-called bumping work) in a vulcanizer, and the shape is deformed to some extent so as to match the shape of the tire type to be vulcanized. Therefore, the vulcanizing apparatus is occupied for bumping work, which is an obstacle to improving tire productivity.

  In addition, even after bumping work, the bladder is not sufficiently deformed to fit the shape of the tire type to be vulcanized, so in the process of repeated use in the tire vulcanization process The bladder changes gradually. In particular, during the first period when a new bladder is used, the deformation of the bladder becomes large.

  With this deformation, the bladder is likely to be damaged, and failure is likely to occur on the inner surface of the vulcanized tire. Furthermore, since the shape of the bladder changes with time, there is a problem that the quality of the vulcanized tire varies.

  An object of the present invention is to provide a method and an apparatus for manufacturing a bladder for tire vulcanization that can further improve the productivity and quality of a tire.

  In order to achieve the above object, a method for manufacturing a bladder for tire vulcanization according to the present invention includes a cylindrical portion and an annular clamp portion connected to both ends of the cylindrical portion in the cylinder axial direction. The bladder is formed of vulcanized rubber, and then the cylindrical portion of the formed bladder is tensioned and brazed into a predetermined shape.

  An apparatus for manufacturing a tire vulcanizing bladder according to the present invention includes a tire vulcanizing bladder formed of vulcanized rubber having an annular clamp portion connected to both ends of a cylindrical portion in a cylinder axial direction. An apparatus for manufacturing a bladder for tire vulcanization that is brazed into a predetermined shape before being installed in the apparatus, comprising: a clamp mechanism that detachably holds each of the clamp parts; An interval adjusting means for changing the interval between the clamp mechanisms in a held state, an injection means for injecting a gas into the cylindrical portion to expand the cylindrical portion, or a gas inside the cylindrical portion At least one of suction means for contracting the tubular portion by sucking the tubular portion, and by applying tension in advance to the tubular portion by the at least one means, Cylinder axial length of the cylindrical portion and an outer diameter of at least one, characterized in that to be larger than the time of the said shaped to configure to attach habit into a predetermined shape.

  According to the present invention, before being installed in the tire vulcanizer, by applying tension to the cylindrical portion of the molded bladder in advance, at least one of the cylindrical axial length and the outer diameter of the cylindrical portion, By making it larger than the time of molding and brazing it into a predetermined shape, it can be sufficiently deformed to match the shape of the tire type to be vulcanized. Therefore, the deformation of the bladder in the process of repeated use is suppressed. Therefore, the bladder is less likely to be damaged, and failure of the inner surface of the vulcanized tire is less likely to occur. Furthermore, since the variation in the quality of the vulcanized tire is reduced, the quality of the tire can be further improved. Moreover, since this brazing operation is performed before installation in the tire vulcanizing apparatus, the tire vulcanizing apparatus is not occupied for the brazing operation. Accordingly, it is advantageous for improving the productivity of the tire.

  Here, after the bladder is molded from vulcanized rubber, tension can be applied to the tubular portion in advance before the temperature of the molded bladder is lowered to the ambient temperature. In this case, since the bladder is still in a high temperature state, the cylindrical portion is easily deformed. Therefore, it becomes easy to braze the cylindrical portion into a predetermined shape by applying tension.

  In order to apply tension to the cylindrical portion in advance, for example, a step of inflating the cylindrical portion by injecting gas into the cylindrical portion, and a method of sucking the gas inside the cylindrical portion to suck the cylindrical portion. At least one of a step of shrinking the shape portion, a step of increasing the interval between the clamp portions, or a step of reducing the interval between the clamp portions. When nitrogen gas at normal temperature is used as the gas injected into the cylindrical portion, it can be easily brazed into a predetermined shape without adversely affecting the durability of the bladder.

  A brazing die is disposed on the outer peripheral side of the cylindrical portion, and the cylindrical portion is expanded and the expansion is restricted by the brazing die, whereby the cylindrical portion is brazed into a predetermined shape. You can also. In this case, by setting the inner peripheral surface of the brazing die to an appropriate shape, the cylindrical portion can be easily brazed into a predetermined shape with high accuracy.

  By brazing to the predetermined shape, for example, the wall thickness of the cylindrical portion brazed to the predetermined shape is set to 50% or less of the wall thickness of the cylindrical portion at the time of molding. Thus, by reducing the wall thickness of the cylindrical part in the process after molding the bladder, even if it is a bladder specification that cannot be thinned at the time of molding due to restrictions such as fluidity of unvulcanized rubber, It is possible to reduce the thickness of the cylindrical portion.

  Hereinafter, a method and an apparatus for manufacturing a bladder for tire vulcanization according to the present invention will be described based on the embodiments shown in the drawings.

  A tire vulcanizing bladder 1 illustrated in FIG. 2 (hereinafter referred to as a bladder 1) is immediately after vulcanized and molded unvulcanized rubber. The bladder 1 includes a tubular portion 2 and an annular upper clamp portion 3 and a lower clamp portion 4 that are connected to both ends of the tubular portion 2 in the tubular axial direction. Each clamp part 3 and 4 is formed relatively thick with respect to the wall thickness of the cylindrical part 2. The wall thickness of the cylindrical part 2 immediately after vulcanization varies depending on the size of the tire to be vulcanized, but for example, in the case of the bladder 1 for vulcanizing a tire for a passenger car, the thickness of the clamp parts 3 and 4 is 3 mm to 6 mm. Is, for example, 20 mm to 25 mm. In the case of a bladder 1 that vulcanizes tires for trucks and buses, the wall thickness of the cylindrical portion 2 is 5 mm to 12 mm, for example, and the thickness of the clamp portions 3 and 4 is 24 mm to 30 mm, for example.

  The bladder 1 is in a neutral state, and the circumferential wall constituting the cylindrical portion 2 is parallel to the cylinder axis CL in a sectional view in the cylinder axis direction. Here, the neutral state of the bladder 1 means a state where no forced external force is applied.

  The bladder 1 is incorporated in a tire vulcanizing device 5 that vulcanizes a pneumatic tire as illustrated in FIG. The tire vulcanizing device 5 includes a central mechanism 6 having a disk-like upper clamp ring 7 and a lower clamp ring 8 that respectively hold the upper clamp portion 3 and the lower clamp portion 4 of the bladder 1, and a heating medium H ( For example, a heating / pressurizing medium supply source 9 for supplying a pressurized medium (for example, nitrogen gas) is provided.

  The center post of the central mechanism 6 has an inlet for injecting a heating medium H (steam, etc.) and a pressurized medium (nitrogen gas, etc.) supplied from the heating / pressurizing medium supply source 9 into the bladder 1, and a bladder. 1 is provided with a discharge port for discharging the heating medium H and the pressure medium inside 1 to the outside of the bladder 1. In FIG. 1, the bladder 1 in which a heating medium H or a pressure medium is injected and inflated presses the inner surface of the green tire G in the tire molds 10 a to 10 c and heats it to apply the green tire G. Sulfur. In this embodiment, the tire molds 10a to 10c include an annular sector 10a divided into a plurality in the circumferential direction, an annular side plate 10b disposed on the upper side, and an annular side plate 10c disposed on the lower side. It consists of

  In order to vulcanize the green tire G using the bladder 1, the heating medium H is injected into the bladder 1 through the injection port and expanded while the tire molds 10a, 10b, and 10c are closed. Next, a pressurized medium is injected from the injection port.

  The expanded bladder 1 presses the inner surface of the green tire G with a predetermined pressure, and heats the tire molds 10a, 10b, and 10c while pressing the outer surface of the green tire G.

  Next, after vulcanizing the green tire G at a predetermined pressure and a predetermined temperature for a predetermined time, the upper side plate 10b is moved upward to open the tire molds 10a to 10c. Next, the heating medium and the pressure medium inside the bladder 1 are discharged through the discharge port to shrink the bladder 1, and the vulcanized tire is taken out from the tire vulcanizer 5. In the tire vulcanization process, the bladder 1 is repeatedly expanded and contracted in this manner.

  The bladder 1 according to the present invention does not install the vulcanized bladder 1 as it is in the tire vulcanizer 5, but performs brazing before installation. For example, the bladder 1 is molded by injecting unvulcanized rubber into a cavity of a bladder mold. By applying tension to the cylindrical portion 2 of the molded bladder 1 in advance, as illustrated in FIG. 3, at least one of the length in the cylinder axial direction and the outer diameter of the cylindrical portion 2 is determined from the time of molding. Is also enlarged and brazed into a predetermined shape.

  In FIG. 3, the bladder 1 immediately after vulcanization molding is shown by a two-dot chain line (showing the shape of the bladder 1 shown in FIG. 2), and the bladder 1 brazed to a predetermined shape is shown by a solid line. By this brazing, the wall thickness of the cylindrical portion 2 of the bladder 1 is made thinner than that at the time of molding. The bladder 1 brazed in this way is installed in the vulcanizer 5.

  In order to apply tension to the cylindrical portion 2 of the molded bladder 1 in advance, the step of inflating the cylindrical portion 2 by injecting the gas A into the cylindrical portion 2, the gas A inside the cylindrical portion 2 At least a step of sucking and contracting the cylindrical portion, a step of increasing the interval between the upper clamp portion 3 and the lower clamp portion 4, or a step of reducing the interval between the upper clamp portion 3 and the lower clamp portion 4 One step is performed.

  Specifically, in order to preliminarily apply tension to the cylindrical portion 2 of the molded bladder 1, the tire vulcanizing bladder manufacturing apparatus of the present invention illustrated in FIG. 4 is used. Since the manufacturing apparatus illustrated in FIGS. 4 to 7 is substantially symmetrical, only the left half is shown. This manufacturing apparatus is an apparatus different from the tire vulcanizing apparatus 5. This manufacturing apparatus includes disk-shaped upper clamp mechanisms 12a and 12b and a lower clamp mechanism 13a that detachably hold the upper clamp part 3 and the lower clamp part 4 of the bladder 1 before being installed in the tire vulcanizing apparatus 5. , 13b.

  The upper clamp mechanisms 12a and 12b and the lower clamp mechanisms 13a and 13b are respectively attached to the central shaft 11 via the interval adjusting means 14. With respect to the central shaft 11 passing through the upper clamp mechanisms 12a and 12b and the lower clamp mechanisms 13a and 13b in the vertical direction, the respective interval adjusting means 14 can be moved up and down independently. Thereby, the vertical space | interval of upper clamp mechanism 12a, 12b and lower clamp mechanism 13a, 13b is variable. The upper clamp mechanisms 12a and 12b and the lower clamp mechanisms 13a and 13b may be provided with at least one mechanism so that the vertical distance between them is variable.

  The central shaft 11 is formed with a through hole 11a, and further includes a storage tank 11b. A gas A to be injected into the cylindrical portion 2 is stored in the storage tank 11b. For example, a gas A at room temperature (about 20 ° C. to 40 ° C.) is stored in the storage tank 11b, and air or nitrogen gas is used as the gas A.

  The upper clamp part 3 and the lower clamp part 4 are respectively held by upper clamp mechanisms 12a and 12b and lower clamp mechanisms 13a and 13b. The gas A supplied from the storage tank 11b while increasing the vertical distance between the clamp mechanisms 12a, 12b and the clamp mechanisms 13a, 13b while holding the upper clamp part 3 and the lower clamp part 4 in this manner. Is injected into the inside of the bladder 1 (tubular portion 2) through the through-hole 11a to expand the cylindrical portion 2. Thereby, the cylinder part 2 is provided with a tension in the cylinder axis direction and a tension in the circumferential direction.

  At this time, only by increasing the vertical distance between the respective clamp mechanisms 12a and 12b and the clamp mechanisms 13a and 13, the gas in the axial direction is applied to the cylindrical portion 2 without supplying the gas A from the storage tank 11b. It can also be granted. Alternatively, the gas A supplied from the storage tank 11b is injected into the bladder 1 (cylindrical part 2) to expand the cylindrical part 2, and the clamping mechanism 12a, 12b and the clamping mechanism 13a, 13b It is also possible to apply a circumferential tension to the cylindrical portion 2 without changing the vertical interval.

  As illustrated in FIG. 5, the upper clamp mechanism 12a, 12b and the lower clamp mechanism 13a, 13b hold the upper clamp part 3 and the lower clamp part 4, and the respective clamp mechanisms 12a, 12b and 13a, 13b. It is also possible to apply a circumferential tension to the cylindrical portion 2 by reducing the vertical distance between them. At this time, the gas A supplied from the storage tank 11 b is further injected into the bladder 1 (cylindrical portion 2) to expand the cylindrical portion 2, thereby applying a circumferential tension to the cylindrical portion 2. You can also.

  As illustrated in FIG. 6, the upper clamp mechanisms 12 a and 12 b and the lower clamp mechanisms 13 a and 13 b hold the upper clamp section 3 and the lower clamp section 4, and the respective clamp mechanisms 12 a and 12 b and 13 a and 13 b. The cylindrical portion 2 can be contracted by sucking the gas A inside the bladder 1 (cylindrical portion 2) through the through-hole 11a while increasing the vertical distance between them. Thereby, the cylinder part 2 is provided with a tension in the cylinder axis direction and a tension in the circumferential direction.

  At this time, the gas A inside the bladder 1 (cylindrical portion 2) is sucked through the through-hole 11a and the cylindrical portion 2 is contracted, so that the clamping mechanisms 12a and 12b and the clamping mechanisms 13a and 13b It is also possible to apply a circumferential tension to the cylindrical portion 2 without changing the vertical interval.

  As illustrated in FIG. 7, brazing dies 15 a and 15 b arranged on the outer peripheral side of the cylindrical portion 2 can also be used. The brazing dies 15a and 15b are formed in an annular shape and can be separated vertically. The inner peripheral surfaces of the brazing dies 15a and 15b have a brazing shape for brazing the cylindrical portion 2 into a predetermined shape.

  The brazing dies 15 a and 15 b are arranged on the outer peripheral side of the tubular portion 2 to expand the tubular portion 2. As a result, the expanding cylindrical portion 2 comes into contact with the inner peripheral surfaces of the brazing dies 15a and 15b, and the expansion thereof is restricted. Become. In this case, by setting the inner peripheral surfaces of the brazing dies 15a and 15b to an appropriate shape, the cylindrical portion 2 can be easily brazed into a predetermined shape with high accuracy.

  At this time, the gas A supplied from the storage tank 11b is passed through the through-hole 11a and the inside of the bladder 1 (tubular portion 2) while increasing the vertical distance between the clamp mechanisms 12a and 12b and the clamp mechanisms 13a and 13b. The cylindrical portion 2 can be expanded by injecting into the tube. Alternatively, the gas A supplied from the storage tank 11b is injected into the bladder 1 (cylindrical part 2) to expand the cylindrical part 2, and the clamping mechanisms 12a and 12b and the clamping mechanisms 13a and 13b It is also possible to apply a circumferential tension to the cylindrical portion 2 without changing the vertical interval.

  In the present invention, as described above, before attaching the bladder 1 to the tire vulcanizing device 5, by applying a tension to the tubular portion 2 in advance, at least one of the length in the tube axial direction and the outer diameter of the tubular portion 2 is determined. It is made larger than the time of molding and brazed into a predetermined shape. In practice, the length and the outer diameter of the cylindrical portion 2 in the cylinder axis direction are made larger than those at the time of molding. By making the predetermined shape to be brazed into a shape approximate to the inner surface shape of the tire type to be vulcanized, the bladder 1 can be sufficiently deformed to match the shape of the tire type to be vulcanized.

  Thereby, since the bladder 1 has a shape suitable for the shape of the tire type to be vulcanized from the beginning, the deformation of the bladder 1 in the process of repeated use is suppressed as compared with the conventional bladder. Therefore, since damage to the bladder 1 due to deformation during repeated use is suppressed, failure of the inner surface of the vulcanized tire is less likely to occur.

  Since the time-dependent deformation of the bladder 1 is reduced, the change in the thermal conductivity of the bladder 1 with time is also reduced, so that the variation in the quality of the vulcanized tire is also reduced. Therefore, it contributes to the improvement of tire quality.

  Since the above-described brazing operation of the bladder 1 is performed before installation in the tire vulcanizing device 5, the tire vulcanizing device 5 is not occupied for the brazing operation. Accordingly, it is advantageous for improving the productivity of the tire.

  After the bladder 1 is molded from vulcanized rubber, tension may be applied to the tubular portion 2 in advance before the temperature of the molded bladder 1 drops to the ambient temperature (indoor temperature). In this case, since the bladder 1 still has heat at the time of vulcanization and is in a high temperature state, the cylindrical portion 2 is easily deformed. Therefore, it becomes easy to braze the cylindrical part 2 into a predetermined shape by applying tension.

  In order to apply tension to the tubular portion in advance, the step of inflating the tubular portion 2 by injecting the gas A into the tubular portion 2, the tubular portion 2 by sucking the gas A inside the tubular portion 2 2 is contracted, at least one of a step of increasing the interval between the clamp portions 3 and 4 or a step of decreasing the interval between the clamp portions 3 and 4 is performed. These steps can be repeated. Alternatively, a plurality of steps selected from these steps can be sequentially combined.

  When injecting the gas A into the cylindrical part 2 and expanding it, it is preferable to use the gas A at room temperature. This is because, according to the gas A at normal temperature, the bladder 1 is not excessively thermally deteriorated. Therefore, the bladder 1 can be easily brazed into a predetermined shape without adversely affecting the durability of the bladder 1. Furthermore, when nitrogen gas is used as the type of gas A, the equipment is not oxidized.

  By brazing the cylindrical portion 2 of the bladder 1 to a predetermined shape, for example, the wall thickness of the cylindrical portion 2 brazed to the predetermined shape is 50% or less of the wall thickness of the cylindrical portion 2 at the time of molding ( For example, 30% to 50%). In this way, by reducing the wall thickness of the cylindrical portion 2 in the process after vulcanization molding of the bladder 1, the bladder specification cannot be thinned at the time of molding due to restrictions such as fluidity of unvulcanized rubber. Even if it exists, it becomes possible to make the cylindrical part 2 thin desired.

  By reducing the thickness of the cylindrical portion 2 of the bladder 1, the thermal conductivity through the bladder 1 is improved, which contributes to shortening of the vulcanization time. Further, even with a smaller internal pressure, the bladder 1 can be pressed while being sufficiently brought into close contact with the inner surface of the green tire G. Therefore, it is not necessary to apply an excessive internal pressure to the green tire G to increase the degree of deformation, which contributes to improving the quality of the vulcanized tire.
