Description

この発明は、タイヤの内部に収納配置され、タイヤとともにリムに組付けられて内周面でリムに面接触する円環状中空体よりなる、安全タイヤ用空気のうの加硫方法および、その方法の実施に用いる加硫モールドに関するものであり、とくには、加硫成形を終えた後のその空気のうを、そこへの大きな変形、損傷等の発生なしに、加硫モールドから十分円滑に、かつ確実に取出すことができる技術を提案するものである。   The present invention relates to a method for vulcanizing an air bladder for a safety tire, comprising an annular hollow body that is housed and arranged inside a tire, is assembled to a rim together with the tire, and is in surface contact with the rim on the inner peripheral surface, and the method In particular, the air bladder after vulcanization molding is sufficiently smooth from the vulcanization mold without the occurrence of large deformation or damage to the air bladder after the vulcanization molding is completed. And it proposes the technology that can be taken out reliably.

タイヤとともにリムに組付けられ、タイヤのパンク等に起因するタイヤ内圧の低下に伴って拡張変形して、荷重の支持をタイヤから肩代わりするべく機能する安全タイヤ用の空気のうとしては従来から各種のものが提案されている。   Various types of air bladders for safety tires that are assembled to the rim together with the tire and expand and deform as the tire pressure decreases due to tire puncture, etc., functioning to support the load from the tire shoulder Things have been proposed.

なかでも、近年の空気のうでは、たとえば、円環状をなす、タイヤチューブ様の中空支持体の内周側部分および外周側部分の全体に、不織布その他からなる補強層を配設するとともに、空気のうの、リムの所定位置への確実なる着座を担保することを目的に、ビードコア様の一対の芯材を、空気のうの中心軸線方向に間隔をおいて円周方向に連続的に配設することが広く行われており、これによれば、空気のうは、それの外周側部分となって、そこへの充填内圧を支持する領域のみならず、使用時にはリムに面接触することになる内周側の領域においても相当大きな剛性を有することになる。   Among these, in recent air bladders, for example, a reinforcing layer made of a nonwoven fabric or the like is disposed on the entire inner peripheral portion and outer peripheral portion of a tire tube-like hollow support that forms an annular shape. In order to ensure reliable seating of the rim at a predetermined position, a pair of bead core-like core members are continuously arranged in the circumferential direction at intervals in the central axis direction of the air bladder. According to this, the air bladder becomes an outer peripheral side portion of the air bladder, and not only the area that supports the filling internal pressure there, but also the surface contact with the rim during use. Even in the inner peripheral region, the rigidity is considerably large.

ところで、このような空気のうを、図10に半部を半径方向断面図で例示するような加硫モールド、すなわち、型締め姿勢で気密に区画されるキャビティCの中心軸線CLの方向に二分割されて、図では上下に対をなす加硫モールドMで、未加硫の空気のうを加硫成形することによって製造する場合において、とくに、下型Lの所定位置に未加硫空気のうを位置決め配置した状態で、その下型Lに対して上型Uを型締めする際の、それらの両型間への未加硫空気のうの挟み込みのおそれを取り除くべく、図示のように、キャビティCの内周面の区画部分IPの割り位置をキャビティCの上端部に近接させて位置させたときには、未加硫空気のうをキャビティC内で加硫成形してなる、製品としての空気のうACの、加硫モールドMからの取出し、たとえば、上型Uの開放状態の下での、その空気のうACの、下型Lからの上向きの抜き出しが、その空気のうACと下型L、なかでも、内周面区画部分IPとの大きな摩擦力の故に困難であり、しかも、空気のうACに所期した通りの機能を十分に発揮させるためには、空気のうAC、ひいては、不織布その他からなる配設補強層を大きく変形させることもできないため、それの、加硫モールドMからの取出しが甚だ困難であるという問題があった。   By the way, such an air bladder is formed in the direction of the central axis CL of a vulcanization mold whose half is illustrated in a radial sectional view in FIG. In the case of manufacturing by vulcanizing and molding an unvulcanized air bladder with a vulcanizing mold M that is divided and paired vertically in the figure, in particular, the unvulcanized air is placed at a predetermined position of the lower mold L. As shown in the figure, in order to remove the possibility of unvulcanized air trapped between both molds when the upper mold U is clamped with respect to the lower mold L in a state where the tank is positioned and arranged. When the split position of the partition part IP on the inner peripheral surface of the cavity C is positioned close to the upper end of the cavity C, the product is obtained by vulcanizing and molding unvulcanized air in the cavity C. Removing Pneumatic AC from vulcanization mold M For example, when the upper mold U is in an open state, the upward extraction of the air bladder AC from the lower mold L results in the air bladder AC and the lower mold L, in particular, the inner peripheral surface section IP. In order to make full use of the functions as expected for airborne AC, it is necessary to increase the size of the reinforcing layer made of airpowder AC and eventually non-woven fabric. Since it cannot be deformed, there is a problem that it is very difficult to take it out from the vulcanization mold M.

その上最近では、タイヤとともにリムに組付けられて内周面でリムに面接触する空気のうと、そのリムとの間を通る、タイヤ内充填気体の流動を円滑にするべく、たとえば、特開2003−146031号公報および国際公開04/106092号パンフレット等に開示されているように、空気のうの内周側領域に配設したゴム層に凹凸部を形成することが提案されており、このような凹凸部を形成した空気のうを加硫モールドから、上述したようにして取出す場合は、その凹凸部の延在方向が、キャビティの中心軸線と交差する方向であると否とにかかわらず、空気のうの凸部の、加硫モールドの凹部への嵌まり込みの故に、その取出しがより一層困難になるという問題があった。   In addition, recently, in order to facilitate the flow of the filling gas in the tire passing between the air rim which is assembled to the rim together with the tire and is in surface contact with the rim on the inner peripheral surface, for example, JP As disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2003-146031 and International Publication No. 04/106092 pamphlet, etc., it has been proposed to form an uneven portion in the rubber layer disposed in the inner peripheral region of the air bladder. In the case where the air bladder having such uneven portions is taken out from the vulcanization mold as described above, regardless of whether the extending direction of the uneven portions intersects the central axis of the cavity. There is a problem that it is more difficult to take out the convex portion of the air bag because it is fitted into the concave portion of the vulcanization mold.

この発明は、従来技術が抱えるこのような問題点を解決することを課題とするものであり、それの目的とするところは、空気のう内周面の、リムとの接触面に凹凸部を形成してなお、その空気のうの、加硫モールドからの適正なる取出しを、円滑かつ容易にした安全タイヤ用空気のうの加硫方法および、その方法の実施に用いる加硫モールドを提供するにある。   An object of the present invention is to solve such problems of the prior art, and an object of the invention is to provide an uneven portion on the contact surface of the inner surface of the air bladder with the rim. Provided is a method for vulcanizing a safety tire for an air bladder that has been formed and yet smoothly and easily removed from the vulcanization mold, and a vulcanization mold for use in the implementation of the method. It is in.

この発明に係る、安全タイヤ用空気のうの加硫方法は、加硫モールド内で加硫成形してなり、タイヤの内部に収納配置され、タイヤとともにリムに組み付けられて、内周面でリムに面接触する、安全タイヤ用の、円環状中空体よりなる空気のうを、その加硫モールドから取出すに先だって、空気のうの内周面への凹凸部の形成に寄与した、加硫モールドの、空気のう内周面への接触域を、全周にわたって半径方向内方へ逃げ変位、いいかえれば縮径変位させるにある。   According to the present invention, a method for vulcanizing a pneumatic tire for a safety tire is formed by vulcanization molding in a vulcanization mold, housed and disposed inside the tire, assembled to the rim together with the tire, and rim on the inner peripheral surface. The vulcanization mold that contributed to the formation of irregularities on the inner circumferential surface of the air bladder prior to taking out the air bladder made of an annular hollow body for safety tires in surface contact with the vulcanization mold The contact area with the inner peripheral surface of the air bladder is displaced to the inside in the radial direction over the entire circumference, in other words, the diameter is reduced.

この場合好ましくは、空気のうの、内周面のリムとの接触領域の加硫成形に寄与する加硫モールド部分の全体を半径方向内方へ逃げ変位させる。   In this case, preferably, the entire vulcanization mold portion contributing to the vulcanization molding of the contact area with the rim of the inner peripheral surface of the air bladder is displaced inward in the radial direction.

この発明に係る、安全タイヤ用空気のうの加硫モールドは、気密に区画されるキャビティ内で、内周面の、リムとの接触域に凹凸部を有する、安全タイヤ用の、円環状中空体よりなる空気のうを加硫成形するものであって、未加硫の空気のうの内周面に接触して、そこに、リムと接触することとなる凹凸部を形成するとともに加硫を施す内周側モールド部分を、円周方向の複数個の分割部材にて構成するとともに、それらの各分割部分を半径方向の内外に変位可能としたものである。   A pneumatic tire vulcanization mold for a safety tire according to the present invention is an annular hollow for a safety tire having an uneven portion in a contact area with a rim of an inner peripheral surface in a cavity that is airtightly partitioned. Vulcanizing and molding an air bladder made of a body, in contact with the inner peripheral surface of an unvulcanized air bladder, and forming a concavo-convex portion that comes into contact with the rim, and vulcanizing The inner mold part to be applied is composed of a plurality of circumferentially divided members, and each of these divided parts can be displaced inward and outward in the radial direction.

ここで好ましくは、上記内周側モールド部分を、未加硫の空気のうの内周面に、リムとの接触領域を加硫成形するモールド部分の全体にわたって配設する。   Here, preferably, the inner peripheral mold part is disposed on the inner peripheral surface of the unvulcanized air bladder over the entire mold part for vulcanization molding of the contact area with the rim.

また好ましくは、内周側モールド部分をたとえば上下方向に隔てて位置し、相互に接近および離隔する方向に変位して、未加硫の空気のうのそれぞれの側部に凹凸部を形成するとともに加硫を施すそれぞれの側部モールド部分を設ける。   Preferably, the inner peripheral mold part is positioned, for example, vertically and displaced in a direction approaching and separating from each other to form an uneven portion on each side of the unvulcanized air bladder. Each side mold part to be vulcanized is provided.

この発明に係る方法では、加硫モールドのキャビティ内で未加硫の空気のうを加硫成形して製品空気のうとした場合において、その空気のうを加硫モールドから取出すに先だって、空気のうの内周面の、リムとの接触面に凹凸部を形成した、加硫モールドの、空気のう内周面への接触域を、全周にわたって縮径変位させることで、加硫モールドによる、空気のう内周面、とくには、その凹凸部に対する拘束を、予め十分に取り除くことができるので、空気のうの内周側部分が高剛性であると否とにかかわらず、また、加硫モールドのその接触域と、空気のう内周面との接触面積が大きいと否とにかかわらず、内周面に凹凸部を有するその空気のうを、それ自身に大きな変形等を生じさせることなく、すなわち、空気のうに配設した補強層に永久歪等を残留させることなく、また、それの凹凸部に損傷等を生じさせることなく、十分円滑に、かつ容易に、しかも、常に適正に加硫モールドから取出すことができる。   In the method according to the present invention, when an unvulcanized air bladder is vulcanized and molded into a product air bladder in the cavity of the vulcanization mold, the air bladder is removed before the air bladder is taken out from the vulcanization mold. By changing the diameter of the contact area of the vulcanization mold, which has irregularities on the contact surface with the rim, on the inner peripheral surface of the urine, and reducing the diameter of the contact area to the inner peripheral surface of the air urine, Because the restraint on the inner surface of the air bladder, in particular, the uneven portion thereof, can be sufficiently removed in advance, the inner peripheral portion of the air bladder is not subject to high rigidity. Regardless of whether or not the contact area between the contact area of the sulfur mold and the inner peripheral surface of the air bladder is large, the air bladder having an uneven portion on the inner peripheral surface causes a large deformation in itself. Without the use, i.e. the permanent layer placed on the air bladder Without leaving strain etc., and without causing damage or the like to the uneven portion of it, sufficiently smoothly and easily, moreover, can be removed from the always proper vulcanization mold.

そしてこのことは、空気のうの内周面への凹凸部の形成に寄与する部分であると否とを問わず、空気のう内周面のリムとの接触領域の加硫成形に寄与するモールド部分の全体を縮径変位させて、いいかえれば、空気のうの内周面の加硫成形を行うモールド部分ではあっても、凹凸部の形成には寄与しないモールド部分をも含めて縮径変位させて、空気のうの内周面に対する加硫モールドの拘束をより十分に取り除いた場合に一層効果的である。   And this contributes to the vulcanization molding of the contact area with the rim of the inner peripheral surface of the air bladder, regardless of whether or not it is a portion that contributes to the formation of the uneven portion on the inner peripheral surface of the air bladder. The entire mold part is reduced in diameter, in other words, even if it is a mold part that performs vulcanization molding of the inner surface of the air bladder, the diameter reduction including the mold part that does not contribute to the formation of uneven parts. It is more effective when it is displaced and the restraint of the vulcanization mold on the inner peripheral surface of the air bladder is removed sufficiently.

また、この発明に係る加硫モールドでは、未加硫の空気のうの内周面に接触して、そこに凹凸部を形成する内周側モールド部分を、円周方向の複数個の分割部材にて構成するとともに、それらの各分割部材を半径方向の内外に変位可能として、それらの分割部材の半径方向外方への変位によって、隣接する分割部材の相互が隙間なく密着する、内周側モールド部分の作用姿勢とする一方で、分割部材の半径方向内方への変位によって、それぞれの分割部材が、加硫成形済みの製品空気のうから逃げ変位する縮径姿勢とすることで、上記の加硫方法を、所期した通りに常に確実に、かつ簡易に実施することができる。   Moreover, in the vulcanization mold according to the present invention, the inner peripheral side mold portion that contacts the inner peripheral surface of the unvulcanized air bladder and forms the uneven portion is divided into a plurality of circumferentially divided members. In the inner periphery side, each of the divided members can be displaced inward and outward in the radial direction, and the adjacent divided members closely contact each other by the displacement of the divided members outward in the radial direction. While the working posture of the mold part is set to the reduced-diameter posture in which each divided member escapes from the vulcanized product air bag due to the radially inward displacement of the divided member, The vulcanization method can always be carried out reliably and simply as expected.

かかる加硫モールドにおいて、複数個の分割部材からなる内周側モールド部分を、未加硫の空気のうの内周面に、リムとの接触領域を加硫成形するモールド部分の全体にわたって配設したときは、先に述べたように、空気のうの内周面の、リムとの接触領域の加硫成形に寄与するモールド部分の全体を縮径変位させるときと同様の作用効果をもたらすことができる一方、空気のうの内周面の両側部に隣接する、リムには接触しないそれぞれの側部域にもまた凹凸部を形成する場合に、それらの凹凸部は、上記内周側モールド部分とは別個のモールド部分にて形成することで、内周側モールド部分の分割部材の縮径変位に当って、側部域の空気のう凹凸部が損傷等されるおそれを十分に取り除くことができる。   In such a vulcanization mold, an inner peripheral side mold portion composed of a plurality of divided members is disposed on the inner peripheral surface of an unvulcanized air bladder over the entire mold portion for vulcanization molding of the contact area with the rim. In this case, as described above, the same effect as that when the entire mold portion contributing to the vulcanization molding of the inner peripheral surface of the air bladder in the contact area with the rim is reduced in diameter is brought about. On the other hand, when the concave and convex portions are also formed in the respective side regions adjacent to both sides of the inner peripheral surface of the air bag and not in contact with the rim, the concave and convex portions are formed on the inner peripheral side mold. By forming it in a mold part that is separate from the part, it is possible to sufficiently eliminate the possibility of damage to the air grooving uneven part in the side area when the reduced diameter displacement of the split member of the inner peripheral side mold part is performed. Can do.

ところで、空気のうの内周面の両側部に隣接する、リムには接触しないそれぞれの側部域にも凹凸部を形成するときは、内周側モールド部分を上下方向等に隔てて位置して、キャビティの中心軸線方向に相互に接近および離隔変位することができ、未加硫空気のうのそれぞれの側部に凹凸部を形成するそれぞれの側部モールド部分、たとえば上型部分および下型部分を設けることが好ましく、これによれば、加硫モールドの型開き等に際する、製品空気のうの側部域に形成された凹凸部の損傷等のおそれを十分に取り除くことができる。   By the way, when forming irregularities in each side area adjacent to both sides of the inner peripheral surface of the air bladder and not in contact with the rim, the inner peripheral mold part is positioned with the vertical direction spaced apart. Side mold parts which can be moved toward and away from each other in the direction of the central axis of the cavity and form concavo-convex parts on the respective sides of the unvulcanized air bladder, for example, upper mold part and lower mold It is preferable to provide a portion, and according to this, it is possible to sufficiently eliminate the possibility of damage to the concavo-convex portion formed in the side region of the product air bladder when the vulcanization mold is opened.

図1は、この発明に係る加硫モールドの実施形態をその要部について示す略線斜視図であり、これは、従来技術で述べたような、上下方向に二分割構造になる加硫モールドの下型を示すものである。
なお、図に仮想線で示す上型は、図10に示す半径方向断面形状の回転体構造になり、全体にわたって一体構造をなす。
FIG. 1 is a schematic perspective view showing an embodiment of a vulcanization mold according to the present invention with respect to its main part. This is a vulcanization mold having a vertically divided structure as described in the prior art. The lower mold is shown.
In addition, the upper mold | type shown with a virtual line in a figure becomes the rotary body structure of the radial direction cross-section shown in FIG. 10, and makes the whole structure integrally.

所定の内圧を充填した未加硫の空気のうを、気密に区画されるキャビティ内で、たとえば、半径方向断面内の外輪郭形状が半径方向の内外に扁平な形態となる加硫済み成形体としての製品空気のうとするこの加硫モールド1の下型2は、上型3との協働下で、気密なキャビティの区画に寄与する環状溝4を具えるとともに、その環状溝4の内周側に隣接して位置し、未加硫空気のうの内周面に接触して、そこに加硫成形を施す内周側モールド部分5および、環状溝4の外周側に隣接して位置し、未加硫空気のうの外周面に接触して、そこに加硫成形を施す外周側モールド部分6を具えてなり、ここで、内周側モールド部分5は、従来技術で述べたように、外周側モールド部分6に比して相当高いレベルに、上型3と気密に面接触する、上下の型の割り位置を有する。   A vulcanized molded body in which an unvulcanized air bladder filled with a predetermined internal pressure is flattened in a cavity that is hermetically partitioned, for example, the outer contour shape in the radial cross section is flat in the radial direction. The lower mold 2 of the vulcanization mold 1 as a product air is provided with an annular groove 4 that contributes to an airtight cavity partition in cooperation with the upper mold 3. Positioned adjacent to the peripheral side, in contact with the inner peripheral surface of the unvulcanized air bladder and positioned adjacent to the outer peripheral side of the annular groove 4 and the inner peripheral side mold part 5 for performing vulcanization molding there. And an outer peripheral side mold part 6 for contacting the outer peripheral surface of the unvulcanized air bladder and subjecting it to vulcanization molding, wherein the inner peripheral side mold part 5 is as described in the prior art. In addition, the upper and lower surfaces of the upper mold 3 are hermetically contacted at a level considerably higher than the outer mold part 6. With a split position.

このような下型2において、ここでは、内周側モールド部分5を、円周方向で複数個に分割してなる分割部材、図2に略線平面図で例示するところでは、大小二種類で総計六個の分割部材7a,7bにて構成し、それらの各分割部材7a,7bを、半径方向の内外に、所要に応じて変位可能とする。   In such a lower mold 2, here, the inner periphery side mold portion 5 is divided into a plurality of members divided in the circumferential direction. In the example illustrated in FIG. A total of six divided members 7a and 7b are configured, and each of the divided members 7a and 7b can be displaced in and out of the radial direction as required.

なお、内周側モールド部分5を、このように大小二種類の分割部材7a,7bにより構成したときは、それらの分割部材7a,7bのそれぞれが、図2(a)に略線平面図で示すように、各個が半径方向外方への進出限位置にあって、相互に隣接する分割部材7a,7bが円周方向に隙間なく整列した内周側モールド部分5の作用姿勢から、それらの分割部材7a,7bがともに半径方向内方へ逃げ変位した、内周側モールド部分5の不作用姿勢とするに当っては、はじめに、平面視の円周方向長さが、半径方向外方に向かって漸減するまたは、半径方向の内外で一定となる便宜上の小分割部材7bのそれぞれを、図2(b)に示すように半径方向内方側へ変位させ、その後に、便宜上の大分割部材7aのそれぞれを半径方向内方側へ同図に仮想線で示すように変位させることが必要になり、これらのことは、大小の分割部材7a,7bのそれぞれを、ともに同数の複数個とした場合には、分割個数の多少にかかわらず同様である。   In addition, when the inner peripheral side mold part 5 is constituted by two kinds of large and small divided members 7a and 7b as described above, each of the divided members 7a and 7b is shown in a schematic plan view in FIG. As shown, from the action posture of the inner peripheral side mold part 5 in which the individual members are in the radially outward limit position and the adjacent divided members 7a and 7b are aligned without gaps in the circumferential direction, When setting the inactive posture of the inner peripheral mold part 5 in which both the dividing members 7a and 7b are displaced inward in the radial direction, first, the circumferential length in plan view is outward in the radial direction. Each of the small divided members 7b that gradually decreases toward the inside or becomes constant inside and outside in the radial direction is displaced inward in the radial direction as shown in FIG. 2 (b), and then the large divided members for convenience. 7a to the inside in the radial direction As indicated by the phantom line, it is necessary to displace them. This is the same regardless of the number of divisions when the large and small divided members 7a and 7b are both equal in number. is there.

この一方で、不作用姿勢の内周側モールド部分5を、各個の分割部材7a,7bが、半径方向外方の進出限位置まで進出した作用姿勢とする場合には、はじめに、大分割部材7aを進出変位させ、その後に、小分割部材7bを進出変位させて、隣接する分割部材7a,7bのそれぞれを隙間なく密着させることが必要になり、上下方向の二分割構造になる図示のこの加硫モールド1では、内周側モールド部分5のこのような作用姿勢の下で、下型2および上型3の相互を上下方向に相対変位させることで、それらの型2,3にて区画されるキャビティを所要に応じて開閉することができる。   On the other hand, when the inner peripheral side mold portion 5 in the non-acting posture is set to the working posture in which each of the divided members 7a and 7b has advanced to the advance limit position radially outward, first, the large divided member 7a. Then, the small dividing member 7b is moved forward and displaced so that the adjacent dividing members 7a and 7b are in close contact with each other without any gap, and this addition shown in the figure is a two-part structure in the vertical direction. In the sulfur mold 1, the lower mold 2 and the upper mold 3 are displaced relative to each other in the vertical direction under such an action posture of the inner peripheral mold portion 5, thereby being partitioned by the molds 2 and 3. The cavity can be opened and closed as required.

ところで、以上のような内周側モールド部分5は、その外周面に、図1および2に示すところから明らかなように、未加硫の空気のうの内周面に接触してそこに凹凸部を形成する複数の凹部8および凸部9を、それの高さ方向および円周方向のそれぞれに所要のピッチで設けてなり、かかる内周側モールド部分5の、図1の上下方向の配設域は、未加硫空気のうの内周面に対して、製品空気のうの、リムとの接触領域を加硫成形するモールド部分の全体とすることが好ましい。   By the way, the inner peripheral side mold part 5 as described above is in contact with the inner peripheral surface of the unvulcanized air bladder on the outer peripheral surface as shown in FIGS. A plurality of concave portions 8 and convex portions 9 forming a portion are provided at respective required pitches in the height direction and the circumferential direction, and the inner peripheral mold portion 5 is arranged in the vertical direction in FIG. It is preferable that the installation area is the entire mold part for vulcanization molding the contact area of the product air bladder with the rim on the inner peripheral surface of the unvulcanized air bladder.

このことを、製品空気のうをリムに組付けた場合の半径方向断面図で示す図3についてみるに、内周側モールド部分5のその配設域は、空気のう10の内周面の、リム11との接触領域CRをその全体にわたって加硫成形できる範囲内とすることが好ましく、これによれば、内周側モールド部分5によって加硫成形される上記接触領域CRの全部もしくは一部、たとえばその全部に、モールド部分5の凹部8および凸部9の作用に基づく凹凸部を形成することができ、それらの凹凸部は、空気のう10とリム11との間に、図に仮想線で示す、リムに組付けたタイヤ12と空気のう10との間に充填した気体の流動を許容する流路を区画する。   As shown in FIG. 3 showing a radial sectional view when the product air bladder is assembled to the rim, the arrangement area of the inner peripheral mold portion 5 is the same as that of the inner peripheral surface of the air bladder 10. The contact area CR with the rim 11 is preferably within a range where the entire vulcanization molding can be performed, and according to this, all or a part of the contact area CR vulcanized and molded by the inner peripheral mold portion 5 is obtained. For example, an uneven portion based on the action of the concave portion 8 and the convex portion 9 of the mold portion 5 can be formed on the entire portion, and these uneven portions are virtually illustrated in the figure between the air bladder 10 and the rim 11. The flow path which permits the flow of the gas with which it filled between the tire 12 assembled | attached to the rim | limb and the air bladder 10 shown with a line is divided.

ここで、タイヤ内に充填した気体の、リム11に沿うこのような流動を許容するときは、タイヤ12の負荷転動によって加熱されたその充填気体を、リム11の放熱作用を介して冷却することができ、また、リム11に取付けたセンサ13をもって、充填気体の温度、圧力等を正確に検出することができる。   Here, when such a flow of the gas filled in the tire along the rim 11 is allowed, the filled gas heated by the load rolling of the tire 12 is cooled through the heat radiation action of the rim 11. In addition, the temperature, pressure and the like of the filling gas can be accurately detected by the sensor 13 attached to the rim 11.

なお、図3に示すリム組み構造では、空気のう10は、リム11だけではなく、リムに組付けたタイヤ12のビード部12aの内表面にもまた面接触することになるので、タイヤ12内への充填気体の、上述したような流動を十分円滑ならしめるためには、空気のう10の、リム11との接触領域CRのみならず、その接触領域CRの両側部に隣接する、タイヤビード部12aとの接触領域CBにもまた凹凸部を形成することが必要になる。   In the rim assembly structure shown in FIG. 3, the air bladder 10 is brought into surface contact not only with the rim 11 but also with the inner surface of the bead portion 12a of the tire 12 assembled to the rim. In order to make the flow of the filling gas into the interior sufficiently smooth as described above, not only the contact area CR of the air bladder 10 with the rim 11 but also adjacent to both sides of the contact area CR. It is necessary to form an uneven part also in the contact area CB with the bead part 12a.

そこで、図示の加硫モールド1では、空気のう10およびタイヤ12の、このようなリム組み構造にも対処可能とするべく、すなわち、空気のう10の、リム11との接触領域CRに加え、タイヤビード部12aとの接触領域CBにも凹凸部を形成するべく、たとえば、図4に、図1のIV−IV線に沿う半径方向断面を上型の型締め状態で示すように、内周側モールド部分5の外周面に前述したような凹部8および凸部9を設けるとともに、下型2の環状溝4および、この環状溝4と対向して位置して、これもキャビティ14の区画に寄与する上型3の同様の環状溝15のそれぞれの、断面形状がともに曲線状をなす溝底部分の全体にもまた、凹部16および凸部17のそれぞれを所要のピッチで配設する。   Therefore, in the illustrated vulcanization mold 1, in order to be able to cope with such a rim assembly structure of the air bladder 10 and the tire 12, that is, in addition to the contact region CR of the air bladder 10 with the rim 11. In order to form a concavo-convex portion also in the contact region CB with the tire bead portion 12a, for example, as shown in FIG. 4, a radial cross section along line IV-IV in FIG. The concave portion 8 and the convex portion 9 as described above are provided on the outer peripheral surface of the peripheral mold portion 5, and the annular groove 4 of the lower mold 2 and the annular groove 4 are opposed to each other. The concave portions 16 and the convex portions 17 are arranged at a required pitch on the entire groove bottom portion of each of the similar annular grooves 15 of the upper mold 3 that contribute to the above, and the cross-sectional shapes of which are both curved.

なおここで、空気のう10の、リム接触領域CRに隣接するそれぞれの側部部分への凹凸部の形成範囲を、タイヤビード部12aの内表面に実際に接触する必要最小限のものとする場合、いいかえれば、図3に示す接触領域CBとする場合には、図4に示す、それぞれの環状溝4,15内への凹部16および凸部17のそれぞれの配設域を、内周側モールド部分5寄りのほぼ半分とすることができる。   Here, the formation range of the uneven portion on each side portion adjacent to the rim contact region CR of the air bladder 10 is the minimum necessary to actually contact the inner surface of the tire bead portion 12a. In other words, when the contact region CB shown in FIG. 3 is used, the arrangement area of the concave portion 16 and the convex portion 17 into the annular grooves 4 and 15 shown in FIG. It can be almost half of the mold portion 5.

以上に述べたような加硫モールドを用い、未加硫の空気のうに加硫成形を施して所定の製品空気のうとする場合は、はじめに、下型2の、未加硫空気のうの内周面との接触域としての内周側モールド部分5、ひいては、それを構成するそれぞれの分割部材7a,7bを、図5(a)に半径方向の要部断面図で示すように、半径方向の内方側へ、全周にわたって逃げ変位させて、その内周側モールド部分5の、未加硫の空気のうTとの接触のおそれを有効に取り除き、次いで、幾分の内圧を充填したその未加硫空気のうTを、下型2の環状溝4と対応する所定の位置に位置決め配置する。   When the vulcanized mold as described above is used and vulcanized molding is performed on the unvulcanized air balloon to obtain a predetermined product air balloon, first, the inside of the unvulcanized air balloon of the lower mold 2 is used. As shown in the radial cross-sectional view of FIG. 5 (a), the inner peripheral side mold portion 5 as a contact area with the peripheral surface and the respective divided members 7a and 7b constituting the inner peripheral mold portion are shown in the radial direction. The inner peripheral side of the mold part 5 is effectively displaced from the risk of contact with the unvulcanized air bladder T and then filled with some internal pressure. The unvulcanized air bladder T is positioned and arranged at a predetermined position corresponding to the annular groove 4 of the lower mold 2.

このようにして未加硫空気のうTを、所期した通りの位置に適正に配置した後は、内周側モールド部分5のそれぞれの分割部材7a、7bを、図5(b)に示すように、半径方向外方の進出限位置まで進出させて、キャビティ14の区画に寄与させ、さらには、図5(c)に示すように、上型3を下降させて加硫モールド1の型締め状態をもたらし、これらのことによって気密に区画されるキャビティ14に未加硫空気のうTを封じ込めるとともに、その未加硫空気のうTへの所定の内圧の供給に基いて、未加硫空気のうTを、内周側モールド部分5の外周面をも含むキャビティ壁面に、所要の力で接触させる。   After properly arranging the unvulcanized air bladder T in the intended position in this way, the respective divided members 7a and 7b of the inner peripheral mold part 5 are shown in FIG. 5 (b). As shown in FIG. 5 (c), the upper die 3 is lowered to advance to the advance limit position radially outward to contribute to the partition of the cavity 14, and the die of the vulcanizing mold 1 In this way, the unvulcanized air bladder T is contained in the cavity 14 which is airtightly divided by these, and the unvulcanized air bladder T is supplied based on the supply of a predetermined internal pressure to the unvulcanized air bladder T. The air bladder T is brought into contact with the cavity wall surface including the outer peripheral surface of the inner peripheral mold portion 5 with a required force.

従って、未加硫空気のうTのこのような封じ込め状態で、その未加硫空気のうTを上下の両型3,2をもって加熱することで、未加硫空気のうTを、キャビティ14と対応する形状に成形するとともに加硫して、所要の製品空気のうとすることができ、その空気のう10の、リム11との接触領域CRには、内周側モールド部分5の外周面の凹部8および凸部9によって、そして、その接触領域CRに隣接するそれぞれの側部部分には、それぞれの環状溝4,10に設けた凹部16および凸部17によって所要の凹凸部を形成することができる。   Accordingly, in such a state that the unvulcanized air bladder T is contained, the unvulcanized air bladder T is heated by both the upper and lower molds 3 and 2 so that the unvulcanized air bladder T is converted into the cavity 14. The product can be molded into a corresponding shape and vulcanized to form a desired product air bladder. In the contact region CR of the air bladder 10 with the rim 11, the outer peripheral surface of the inner peripheral mold portion 5 is formed. The concave and convex portions 8 and the convex portions 9 and the side portions adjacent to the contact region CR are formed with the necessary concave and convex portions by the concave portions 16 and the convex portions 17 provided in the respective annular grooves 4 and 10. be able to.

そして、このようにして構成した空気のうの、加硫モールドからの取出しは、たとえば、図5に関連して述べたところとは逆の工程を辿って、はじめに、上型3を上昇変位させて加硫モールド1の型開きを行い、次いで、内周側モールド部分5の各分割部材7a,7bを半径方向内方へ逃げ変位させてそのモールド部分5の縮径変形をもたらし、さらに、下型2上の空気のう10の、上方側への抜き出しを行うことにより、空気のう10のリム接触領域CRおよび、その接触領域CRのそれぞれの側部部分に形成された凹凸部を、加硫モールド側の凹部8,16および凸部9,17のそれぞれに干渉させることなく、また、空気のう10に、永久歪を生じるほどの大きな変形を与えることもなく、十分円滑に、かつ容易に型抜きすることができ、加硫モールド1からこのようにして取出された空気のう10は、図6に半径方向の略線断面図で例示するように、リム接触領域CRおよび、その領域CRの両側部に隣接するそれぞれのサイド域Sのほぼ全体に、損傷等されることなく適正に残留する凸部18および凹部19を有することになる。
そしてこのことは、空気のう10の内周側領域の剛性が高いと否との別なく同様である。
The removal of the air bladder constructed as described above from the vulcanization mold follows, for example, the reverse process described with reference to FIG. Then, the vulcanization mold 1 is opened, and then the divided members 7a and 7b of the inner peripheral side mold portion 5 are displaced inward in the radial direction to cause the diameter reduction deformation of the mold portion 5, and By extracting the air bladder 10 on the mold 2 upward, the rim contact area CR of the air bladder 10 and the uneven portions formed on the respective side portions of the contact area CR are added. Sufficiently smooth and easy without interfering with each of the concave portions 8 and 16 and the convex portions 9 and 17 on the sulfur mold side, and without giving the air bladder 10 large deformation that causes permanent distortion. Can be die-cut The air bladder 10 thus taken out from the vulcanization mold 1 is adjacent to the rim contact region CR and both sides of the region CR, as illustrated in the schematic cross-sectional view in the radial direction in FIG. Nearly the entire side regions S have the convex portions 18 and the concave portions 19 that remain appropriately without being damaged.
This is the same regardless of whether the rigidity of the inner peripheral region of the air bladder 10 is high.

従って、以上のような加硫モールドを用い、この発明にかかる方法に則って空気のう10を加硫成形した場合には、とくには、空気のう10の内周面の、リム11との接触領域CRに凸凹部18,19を形成してなお、外周面に凹部8および凸部9を設けた内周側モールド部分5の縮径変形に基いて、その空気のう10を、加硫モールド1から、常に適正に、しかも、円滑かつ容易に取出すことができ、空気のう10の凸凹部18,19を、型抜きに伴う損傷等から有効に保護することができる。   Therefore, when the air bladder 10 is vulcanized and molded in accordance with the method according to the present invention using the vulcanization mold as described above, in particular, the inner peripheral surface of the air bladder 10 is connected to the rim 11. Convex recesses 18 and 19 are formed in the contact region CR, and the air bladder 10 is vulcanized based on the reduced diameter deformation of the inner peripheral mold part 5 provided with the recesses 8 and the protrusions 9 on the outer peripheral surface. The mold 1 can be always taken out properly and smoothly and easily, and the convex and concave portions 18 and 19 of the air bladder 10 can be effectively protected from damage caused by die cutting.

図7は、加硫モールドの他の実施形態を示す、半径方向の半部略線断面図および平面図である。
これは、キャビティの区画に寄与する加硫モールド21を、未加硫空気のうの内周側部分の全体に加硫成形を施す内周側加硫成形部22と、その未加硫空気のうの外周側部分の全体に加硫成形を施す外周側加硫成形部23とで構成するとともに、内周側加硫成形部22の全体を、先に述べた内周側モールド部分5と同様に、円周方向の複数個の分割部材、たとえば、大小二種類で総計六個の分割部材24a,24bによって、そして、外周側加硫成形部23の全体を、これも大小二種類で、総計十個の分割部材25a,25bによりそれぞれ構成し、各分割部材24a,24b,25a,25bを、半径方向の内外に所要に応じて変位可能としたものであり、また、内周側加硫成形部22の外周面に、製品空気のう10の内周面の、リム11との接触領域CRだけに凸凹部18,19を形成するべく機能する凹部26および凸部27のそれぞれを配設したものである。
FIG. 7 is a schematic half sectional view and a plan view in the radial direction showing another embodiment of the vulcanization mold.
This is because the vulcanization mold 21 that contributes to the section of the cavity is subjected to vulcanization molding on the entire inner peripheral side portion of the unvulcanized air bag, and the unvulcanized air. The outer peripheral side vulcanization molding portion 23 that performs vulcanization molding on the entire outer peripheral side portion of the shell and the entire inner peripheral side vulcanization molding portion 22 are the same as the inner peripheral side mold portion 5 described above. In addition, a plurality of divided members in the circumferential direction, for example, a total of six divided members 24a and 24b of two kinds of large and small, and the whole outer peripheral side vulcanization forming part 23 are also divided into two kinds of large and small, Each of the divided members 24a, 24b, 25a, and 25b is configured to be displaceable inward and outward in the radial direction as required, and the inner peripheral side vulcanization molding. The rim 11 on the inner peripheral surface of the product air bladder 10 is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the portion 22. It is obtained by arranging the respective recesses 26 and protrusions 27 functions to only form a concave-convex portions 18 and 19 contact region CR.

ここで、内周側加硫成形部22の便宜上の小分割部分24bは、内周側モールド部分5について述べたと同様に、平面視における周方向長さが半径方向の外方に向けて漸減する、または、その周方向長さが半径方向の内外で一定となる寸法形態を有し、外周側加硫成形部23の便宜上の小分割部材25bは、平面視の周方向長さが、半径方向内方に向けて漸増する、または、半径方向の内外で一定となる寸法形態を有する。   Here, in the same manner as described for the inner peripheral side mold portion 5, the subdivided portion 24 b for convenience of the inner peripheral side vulcanization molding portion 22 gradually decreases in the circumferential direction in a plan view toward the outer side in the radial direction. Alternatively, the subdivided member 25b for convenience of the outer peripheral side vulcanization molding portion 23 has a dimension in which the circumferential length is constant inside and outside in the radial direction. It has a dimensional form that gradually increases inward or constant inward and outward in the radial direction.

従って、相互に隣接するそれぞれの分割部材24a,24bおよび25a,25bが隙間なく密着する、加硫モールド21の、図7(b)に示すような型締め状態から、内周側加硫成形部22を半径方向内方側へ、そして、外周側加硫成形部23を半径方向外方側へそれぞれ変位させてそれを型開きする場合には、内周側加硫成形部22については、小分割部材24bの半径方向内方側への変位と、大分割部材24aの半径方向内方側への変位とを順次に行い、そして、外周側加硫成形部23については、小分割部材25bの半径方向外方側への変位と、大分割部材25aの半径方向外方側への変位とを順次に行うことにより、両加硫成形部分22,23によって区画形成されたキャビティ28を広く開放することができる。   Therefore, the inner peripheral side vulcanization molded portion of the vulcanization mold 21 as shown in FIG. 7 (b), in which the respective divided members 24a, 24b and 25a, 25b adjacent to each other are in close contact with each other without a gap, is used. 22 is moved radially inward, and the outer peripheral side vulcanized molded portion 23 is displaced radially outward and the mold is opened, the inner peripheral vulcanized molded portion 22 is small. Displacement in the radially inward direction of the dividing member 24b and displacement inward in the radially inward direction of the large dividing member 24a are sequentially performed. The cavity 28 defined by the two vulcanization molded portions 22 and 23 is widely opened by sequentially performing the radially outward displacement and the radially outward displacement of the large dividing member 25a. be able to.

これがため、未加硫空気のうの加硫モールドへの適正なる位置決め配置を、簡易に、かつ常に確実に行うことが可能となり、また、凸凹部18,19を形成された空気のう10の、その加硫モールド21からの取出しを、その空気のう10、とくにはそれの凸凹部18,19に損傷を与えることなく容易に行うことができる。   For this reason, it is possible to easily and surely perform proper positioning and arrangement of the unvulcanized air to the vulcanization mold, and the air bladder 10 in which the convex recesses 18 and 19 are formed. The removal from the vulcanization mold 21 can be easily performed without damaging the air bladder 10, particularly the convex and concave portions 18 and 19 thereof.

なお、図7に示すところでは、内周側加硫成形部22および外周側加硫成形部23の全体を円周方向の分割構造としているも、それらの各加硫成形部の一部分だけを分割構造とすることも可能であり、図8はその一例を示す、半径方向の半部略線断面図である。   In addition, in the place shown in FIG. 7, although the whole inner peripheral side vulcanization molding part 22 and the outer peripheral side vulcanization molding part 23 are divided in the circumferential direction, only a part of each of these vulcanization molding parts is divided. FIG. 8 is a schematic half-line cross-sectional view in the radial direction, showing an example of the structure.

図8に示す加硫モールド31は、キャビティ32の底部の区画に寄与する環状溝33を設けた下型部分34と、キャビティ32の残部の区画に寄与して、未加硫の空気のうの内周側部分の大部分に加硫成形を施す内周側加硫成形部分35と、その未加硫空気のうの外周側部分の大部分に加硫成形を施す外周側加硫成形部分36とを具えるものとするとともに、内周側加硫成形部分35を、図7に示す内周側加硫成形部22と同様の分割構造とし、また、外周側加硫成形部分36を、これも図7に示す外周側加硫成形部23と同様の分割構造とし、併せて、内周側加硫成形部分35の外周面に、図7の内周側加硫成形部22について述べたと同様に機能する凹部37および凸部38のそれぞれのを配設したものである。   The vulcanization mold 31 shown in FIG. 8 contributes to the lower mold part 34 provided with the annular groove 33 that contributes to the bottom section of the cavity 32, and the remaining section of the cavity 32, so An inner peripheral side vulcanization molding portion 35 that performs vulcanization molding on most of the inner peripheral side portion, and an outer peripheral side vulcanization molding portion 36 that performs vulcanization molding on most of the outer peripheral side portion of the unvulcanized air bladder. The inner peripheral vulcanization molded portion 35 has a divided structure similar to the inner peripheral vulcanized molded portion 22 shown in FIG. 7, and the outer peripheral vulcanized molded portion 36 is 7 has the same divided structure as that of the outer peripheral side vulcanization molded portion 23 shown in FIG. 7 and, at the same time, the inner peripheral side vulcanized molded portion 22 of FIG. Each of the concave portion 37 and the convex portion 38 functioning in the above is disposed.

この加硫モールド31では、内周側加硫成形部分35のそれぞれの分割部材を、図示のような相互の密着姿勢から半径方向の内方側へ逃げ変位させ、そして、外周側加硫成形部分36のそれぞれの分割部材を半径方向の外方側へ逃げ変位させることで、図7に示す加硫モールド21と同様に、キャビティ32を大きく開放することができる。   In this vulcanization mold 31, the respective divided members of the inner peripheral side vulcanization molded portion 35 are displaced and displaced inward in the radial direction from mutual contact postures as shown in the figure, and the outer peripheral vulcanization molded portion The cavities 32 can be largely opened in the same manner as the vulcanization mold 21 shown in FIG.

そして、図9に示すさらに他の加硫モールド41は、上下のそれぞれの型部分42,43と、内周側加硫成形部分44および外周側加硫成形部分45とを具えるものにおいて、上下の型部分42,43を上下方向に相対変位可能とするとともに、内周側加硫成形部分44および外周側加硫成形部分45のそれぞれを、図7に示す内周側加硫成形部22および外周側加硫成形部23のそれぞれと同様の分割構造とし、また、内周側加硫成形部分44の外周面の全体および、上下の型部分42,43のそれぞれの環状溝46,47の、内周側加硫成形部分44側の各半部のそれぞれに、空気のうに凸凹部18,19を形成するべく機能する凹部48および凸部49のそれぞれを配設したものである。   Further, another vulcanization mold 41 shown in FIG. 9 includes upper and lower mold parts 42 and 43, an inner peripheral side vulcanization molding part 44 and an outer peripheral side vulcanization molding part 45. The mold portions 42 and 43 can be relatively displaced in the vertical direction, and the inner peripheral side vulcanized molded portion 44 and the outer peripheral side vulcanized molded portion 45 are respectively connected to the inner peripheral vulcanized molded portion 22 and the inner peripheral vulcanized molded portion 22 shown in FIG. The divided structure is the same as that of each of the outer peripheral side vulcanization molding portions 23, and the entire outer peripheral surface of the inner peripheral side vulcanization molding portion 44 and the annular grooves 46, 47 of the upper and lower mold portions 42, 43 are respectively A concave portion 48 and a convex portion 49 that function to form the convex concave portions 18 and 19 in the air pocket are provided in each half portion on the inner peripheral side vulcanization molded portion 44 side.

この加硫モールド41では、図示の型締め姿勢に対し、たとえば、上型部分42を上昇変位させるとともに、内周側加硫成形部分44の分割部材を半径方向内方側へ、そして、外周側加硫成形部分45の分割部材を半径方向外方側へそれぞれ変位させることによってキャビティ50を大きく開放することができるので、未加硫空気のうの、所定位置への適正なる位置決め配置および、製品空気のうの、加硫モールド41からの損傷のない取出しを、常に円滑に、かつ簡易に行うことができる。   In the vulcanization mold 41, for example, the upper mold portion 42 is moved upward and displaced with respect to the mold clamping posture shown in the figure, and the divided member of the inner peripheral side vulcanization molded portion 44 is radially inward and the outer peripheral side. Since the cavity 50 can be largely opened by displacing the divided members of the vulcanized molded portion 45 radially outward, the proper positioning arrangement of the unvulcanized air in the predetermined position and the product It is possible to always smoothly and easily remove the air bag from the vulcanization mold 41 without damage.
