Description

本発明は、タイヤの製造時に、タイヤ外周部材を保持するタイヤ外周部材の保持装置、及び、生タイヤを保持する生タイヤの保持装置に関する。
The present invention relates to a tire outer peripheral member holding device for holding a tire outer peripheral member and a raw tire holding device for holding a raw tire during manufacture of the tire .

生タイヤは、一般に、筒状のグリーンケースと環状のタイヤ外周部材を組み合わせることで成形される。タイヤ外周部材は、例えばベルトとトレッドからなり、グリーンケースを囲むように配置される。グリーンケースの膨張により、グリーンケースがタイヤ外周部材の内周に押し付けられて、グリーンケースとタイヤ外周部材が密着する。その際、グリーンケースは、保持装置により外周から保持されたタイヤ外周部材に押し付けられる(特許文献1参照)。   A green tire is generally formed by combining a cylindrical green case and an annular tire outer peripheral member. The tire outer peripheral member includes, for example, a belt and a tread, and is disposed so as to surround the green case. Due to the expansion of the green case, the green case is pressed against the inner periphery of the tire outer peripheral member, and the green case and the tire outer peripheral member are brought into close contact with each other. At that time, the green case is pressed against the tire outer peripheral member held from the outer periphery by the holding device (see Patent Document 1).

図8は、従来の保持装置の例を示す図である。図8Aは、保持装置が備える保持部材とタイヤ外周部材の正面図である。図8Bは、1つの保持部材の斜視図である。
従来の保持装置100は、図示のように、環状に配置された複数(図8では11個)の保持部材101と、保持部材101を移動させる移動装置(図示せず)を備える。複数の保持部材101は、タイヤ周方向に分割されており、それぞれ円弧状に形成されている。移動装置は、複数の保持部材101を移動させてタイヤ外周部材Tの外周に接触させる。タイヤ外周部材Tは、複数の保持部材101により保持されて、グリーンケース(図示せず)に組み合わされる。
FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating an example of a conventional holding device. FIG. 8A is a front view of a holding member and a tire outer peripheral member included in the holding device. FIG. 8B is a perspective view of one holding member.
As shown in the figure, the conventional holding device 100 includes a plurality of (11 in FIG. 8) holding members 101 arranged in an annular shape and a moving device (not shown) that moves the holding members 101. The plurality of holding members 101 are divided in the tire circumferential direction and are each formed in an arc shape. The moving device moves the plurality of holding members 101 to contact the outer periphery of the tire outer peripheral member T. The tire outer peripheral member T is held by a plurality of holding members 101 and combined with a green case (not shown).

図9は、タイヤ外周部材Tを保持する従来の保持部材101を示す図である。図9では、保持部材101とタイヤ外周部材Tをタイヤ半径方向外側からみて示す。また、3つの保持部材101とタイヤ外周部材Tのタイヤ周方向の一部を、平面に展開して示す。
図示のように、保持部材101の分割位置Rでは、保持部材101の縁部がタイヤ幅方向Wに平行になっている。また、隣接する保持部材101の間に、タイヤ幅方向Wに平行な隙間102が形成される。
FIG. 9 is a view showing a conventional holding member 101 that holds the tire outer peripheral member T. As shown in FIG. In FIG. 9, the holding member 101 and the tire outer peripheral member T are shown as viewed from the outer side in the tire radial direction. In addition, a part of the three holding members 101 and the tire outer circumferential member T in the tire circumferential direction is developed and shown in a plane.
As illustrated, the edge of the holding member 101 is parallel to the tire width direction W at the dividing position R of the holding member 101. Further, a gap 102 parallel to the tire width direction W is formed between the adjacent holding members 101.

生タイヤの成形時には、タイヤ外周部材Tの外周が、グリーンケースから受ける圧力により、保持部材101間の隙間102に押し付けられて変形することがある。これにより、加硫後のタイヤのユニフォミティが低下し、タイヤのRFV(Radial Force Variation)が大きくなる虞がある。この場合には、走行するタイヤが隙間102の数に応じた音を発生するとともに、車両とタイヤが共振する。その結果、タイヤの走行時に発生する音が大きくなることがあり、騒音を低減する観点から、改良が求められている。特に電気自動車用のタイヤでは、車両の発生する音が小さいため、タイヤが発生する音をより低減することが求められる。   When forming a green tire, the outer periphery of the tire outer peripheral member T may be deformed by being pressed against the gap 102 between the holding members 101 due to the pressure received from the green case. Thereby, the uniformity of the tire after vulcanization may be reduced, and the RFV (Radial Force Variation) of the tire may be increased. In this case, the traveling tire generates a sound corresponding to the number of the gaps 102, and the vehicle and the tire resonate. As a result, the sound generated when the tire travels may increase, and improvements are demanded from the viewpoint of reducing noise. Particularly in tires for electric vehicles, since the sound generated by the vehicle is small, it is required to further reduce the sound generated by the tire.

次に、保持装置30について詳しく説明する。
図2は、保持装置30を図1の矢印X方向からみた正面図である。図2では、保持前のタイヤ外周部材Tを一点鎖線で示す。
保持装置30は、図示のように、環状の支持部材31と、駆動装置32と、複数(ここでは11個)の保持部材40と、保持部材40の移動装置33を備えている。複数の保持部材40は、支持部材31の内側に配置され、支持部材31により、タイヤ半径方向(タイヤ外周部材Tの半径方向)に移動可能に支持される。
Next, the holding device 30 will be described in detail.
FIG. 2 is a front view of the holding device 30 as viewed from the direction of the arrow X in FIG. In FIG. 2, the tire outer peripheral member T before being held is indicated by a one-dot chain line.
As illustrated, the holding device 30 includes an annular support member 31, a driving device 32, a plurality of (herein, 11) holding members 40, and a moving device 33 for the holding member 40. The plurality of holding members 40 are disposed inside the support member 31 and supported by the support member 31 so as to be movable in the tire radial direction (radial direction of the tire outer peripheral member T).

支持部材31は、ガイドレール2上に設置された駆動装置32の上部に固定される。保持装置30は、駆動装置32により、ガイドレール2によりガイドされつつ、ガイドレール2に沿って移動する。駆動装置32は、例えば、モータと、モータにより回転する回転体を有し、回転体によりガイドレール2上を移動する。   The support member 31 is fixed to the upper part of the drive device 32 installed on the guide rail 2. The holding device 30 moves along the guide rail 2 while being guided by the guide rail 2 by the driving device 32. The drive device 32 includes, for example, a motor and a rotating body that is rotated by the motor, and moves on the guide rail 2 by the rotating body.

複数の保持部材40は、タイヤ外周部材Tを囲んで環状に配置され、タイヤ周方向P(タイヤ外周部材Tの周方向)に複数に分割されている。保持部材40は、セクター部材(又は、セグメント)であり、タイヤ幅方向(タイヤ外周部材Tの幅方向)からみて円弧状に形成されている。複数の保持部材40の内周は、タイヤ外周部材Tの外周に合わせて形成され、なだらかに湾曲する。保持装置30の移動により、タイヤ外周部材Tは、複数の保持部材40の内側に配置される。   The plurality of holding members 40 are arranged in an annular shape so as to surround the tire outer peripheral member T, and are divided into a plurality in the tire circumferential direction P (the circumferential direction of the tire outer peripheral member T). The holding member 40 is a sector member (or segment), and is formed in an arc shape when viewed from the tire width direction (the width direction of the tire outer circumferential member T). The inner circumferences of the plurality of holding members 40 are formed in accordance with the outer circumference of the tire outer circumference member T and are gently curved. The tire outer peripheral member T is disposed inside the plurality of holding members 40 by the movement of the holding device 30.

複数の保持部材40は、移動装置33により移動し、タイヤ外周部材Tを囲んで保持する。その際、複数の保持部材40の内周がタイヤ外周部材Tの外周に接触し、タイヤ外周部材Tが外周から保持される。また、移動装置33は、複数の保持部材40をタイヤ外周部材Tの外周から離して、複数の保持部材40によるタイヤ外周部材Tの保持を解除する。複数の保持部材40は、移動装置33により、環状に配置された状態で、タイヤ半径方向に同期して移動する。移動装置33は、例えば、ピストン・シリンダ機構の作動に連動して保持部材40を移動させる連動機構を有し、支持部材31内に設けられる。   The plurality of holding members 40 are moved by the moving device 33 and surround and hold the tire outer peripheral member T. In that case, the inner periphery of the some holding member 40 contacts the outer periphery of the tire outer peripheral member T, and the tire outer peripheral member T is hold | maintained from an outer periphery. Further, the moving device 33 separates the plurality of holding members 40 from the outer periphery of the tire outer peripheral member T and releases the holding of the tire outer peripheral member T by the plurality of holding members 40. The plurality of holding members 40 are moved in synchronization with the tire radial direction while being arranged in an annular shape by the moving device 33. The moving device 33 has, for example, an interlocking mechanism that moves the holding member 40 in conjunction with the operation of the piston / cylinder mechanism, and is provided in the support member 31.

複数の保持部材40は、移動装置33により、タイヤ外周部材Tから離れた離間位置(拡大位置)と、タイヤ外周部材Tの外周に接触する接触位置(縮小位置)との間で移動する。接触位置は、保持部材40がタイヤ外周部材Tを保持する保持位置である。移動装置33は、複数の保持部材40を移動させてタイヤ外周部材Tに接触させ、複数の保持部材40を所定の力でタイヤ外周部材Tに押し付ける。タイヤ外周部材Tの外周に接触する複数の保持部材40により、タイヤ外周部材Tが、環状の形状を維持しつつ保持される。保持装置30は、ガイドレール2に沿って移動して、複数の保持部材40により保持したタイヤ外周部材Tを搬送する。   The plurality of holding members 40 are moved by the moving device 33 between a separated position (enlarged position) away from the tire outer peripheral member T and a contact position (reduced position) in contact with the outer periphery of the tire outer peripheral member T. The contact position is a holding position where the holding member 40 holds the tire outer peripheral member T. The moving device 33 moves the plurality of holding members 40 to contact the tire outer peripheral member T, and presses the plurality of holding members 40 against the tire outer peripheral member T with a predetermined force. The plurality of holding members 40 that contact the outer periphery of the tire outer peripheral member T hold the tire outer peripheral member T while maintaining an annular shape. The holding device 30 moves along the guide rail 2 and conveys the tire outer peripheral member T held by the plurality of holding members 40.

図3は、タイヤ外周部材Tを保持する複数の保持部材40を示す図である。図3では、保持部材40とタイヤ外周部材Tをタイヤ半径方向外側からみて示す。また、4つの保持部材40とタイヤ外周部材Tのタイヤ周方向Pの一部を、平面に展開して示す。図4は、1つの保持部材40の斜視図である。
保持部材40は、図示のように、板状をなし、平面でみて平行四辺形状に形成されている。また、保持部材40は、タイヤ外周部材Tとの接触部よりも広く形成され、タイヤ周方向Pに並べて配置される。タイヤ外周部材Tは、保持部材40内の位置に配置される。
FIG. 3 is a view showing a plurality of holding members 40 that hold the tire outer peripheral member T. As shown in FIG. In FIG. 3, the holding member 40 and the tire outer peripheral member T are shown as viewed from the outer side in the tire radial direction. In addition, a part of the four holding members 40 and the tire outer circumferential member T in the tire circumferential direction P are developed on a plane. FIG. 4 is a perspective view of one holding member 40.
As shown in the figure, the holding member 40 has a plate shape and is formed in a parallelogram shape in a plan view. The holding member 40 is formed wider than the contact portion with the tire outer peripheral member T, and is arranged side by side in the tire circumferential direction P. The tire outer peripheral member T is disposed at a position in the holding member 40.

複数の保持部材40は、それぞれタイヤ周方向Pの分割位置Rに、タイヤ幅方向Wに対して傾斜する傾斜部41を有する。保持部材40の分割位置Rは、複数の保持部材40がタイヤ周方向Pに分割された位置である。複数の保持部材40の縁部が、分割位置Rに配置され、タイヤ周方向Pに離れた状態で対向する。傾斜部41は、少なくとも保持部材40の保持面(タイヤ外周部材Tの接触面)42の縁部に形成され、タイヤ外周部材Tに接触する。タイヤ周方向Pに隣接する保持部材40の縁部において、傾斜部41は、同じ方向に傾斜し、平行な状態で対向する。   The plurality of holding members 40 each have an inclined portion 41 that is inclined with respect to the tire width direction W at a division position R in the tire circumferential direction P. The division position R of the holding member 40 is a position where the plurality of holding members 40 are divided in the tire circumferential direction P. Edges of the plurality of holding members 40 are arranged at the division position R and face each other in a state separated in the tire circumferential direction P. The inclined portion 41 is formed at least on the edge of the holding surface (the contact surface of the tire outer peripheral member T) 42 of the holding member 40 and contacts the tire outer peripheral member T. In the edge part of the holding member 40 adjacent to the tire circumferential direction P, the inclined part 41 is inclined in the same direction and faces in a parallel state.

傾斜部41は、保持部材40の分割位置Rで、タイヤ外周部材Tに接触する部分の全体に形成され、タイヤ外周部材Tの外周を横断する。また、傾斜部41は、タイヤ幅方向Wに対して所定角度で傾斜し、かつ、保持部材40の分割位置Rに直線状に形成されている。傾斜部41のタイヤ幅方向Wに対する角度Yは、10°以上60°以下である。ここでは、角度Yが45°になるように、傾斜部41が形成されている。保持部材40がタイヤ外周部材Tを保持したときには、保持部材40の間に、所定幅の隙間43が形成される。隙間43は、複数の保持部材40の分割位置R毎に、対向する傾斜部41の間に形成され、タイヤ幅方向Wに対して傾斜する。   The inclined portion 41 is formed in the entire portion in contact with the tire outer peripheral member T at the division position R of the holding member 40, and traverses the outer periphery of the tire outer peripheral member T. Further, the inclined portion 41 is inclined at a predetermined angle with respect to the tire width direction W, and is formed linearly at the division position R of the holding member 40. An angle Y of the inclined portion 41 with respect to the tire width direction W is not less than 10 ° and not more than 60 °. Here, the inclined portion 41 is formed so that the angle Y is 45 °. When the holding member 40 holds the tire outer peripheral member T, a gap 43 having a predetermined width is formed between the holding members 40. The gap 43 is formed between the inclined portions 41 facing each other at each division position R of the plurality of holding members 40 and is inclined with respect to the tire width direction W.

複数の隙間43は、同じ幅に形成され、平行な状態でタイヤ外周部材Tの外周に並ぶ。タイヤ周方向Pに隣接する隙間43は、タイヤ外周部材Tの外周において、タイヤ周方向Pの同じ範囲(図3のZ範囲)に配置される部分(重複部分44という)を有する。隣接する隙間43の重複部分44は、タイヤ幅方向Wに離れて位置し、重複部分44の間の保持部材40がタイヤ外周部材Tに接触する。本実施形態では、保持部材40(図2、図4参照)は、移動可能な可動部材45と、変更可能な調整部材46を有する。保持部材40は、調整部材46をタイヤ外周部材Tに接触させて、調整部材46によりタイヤ外周部材Tを保持する。   The plurality of gaps 43 are formed to have the same width and are arranged on the outer periphery of the tire outer peripheral member T in a parallel state. The gap 43 adjacent to the tire circumferential direction P has a portion (referred to as an overlapping portion 44) arranged in the same range (Z range in FIG. 3) in the tire circumferential direction P on the outer circumference of the tire outer circumferential member T. The overlapping portions 44 of the adjacent gaps 43 are located away from each other in the tire width direction W, and the holding member 40 between the overlapping portions 44 contacts the tire outer circumferential member T. In the present embodiment, the holding member 40 (see FIGS. 2 and 4) includes a movable member 45 that can be moved and an adjustment member 46 that can be changed. The holding member 40 brings the adjusting member 46 into contact with the tire outer peripheral member T, and holds the tire outer peripheral member T by the adjusting member 46.

図5は、タイヤ外周部材Tを保持する複数の保持部材40を示す正面図である。図5では、タイヤ外周部材Tと保持部材40を図2に対応させて示す。図5A〜図5Dに、外径が異なるタイヤ外周部材Tを示す。
保持部材40の可動部材45と調整部材46は、図示のように、板状をなし、全体に渡って重ね合わされる。調整部材46の外側面が可動部材45の内側面に密着した状態で、調整部材46が、固定手段(図示せず)により可動部材45に固定される。これにより、調整部材46が可動部材45に取り付けられる。
FIG. 5 is a front view showing a plurality of holding members 40 that hold the tire outer peripheral member T. FIG. In FIG. 5, the tire outer peripheral member T and the holding member 40 are shown corresponding to FIG. 5A to 5D show tire outer peripheral members T having different outer diameters.
As shown in the figure, the movable member 45 and the adjustment member 46 of the holding member 40 have a plate shape and are overlapped over the whole. The adjustment member 46 is fixed to the movable member 45 by a fixing means (not shown) in a state where the outer surface of the adjustment member 46 is in close contact with the inner surface of the movable member 45. Thereby, the adjustment member 46 is attached to the movable member 45.

可動部材45(図5A〜図5C参照)は、保持部材40の外側(外周側)に位置する外側部材であり、移動装置33に連結されている。移動装置33は、可動部材45を移動させることで、保持部材40の全体を移動させる。調整部材46は、保持部材40の内側(内周側)に位置する内側部材であり、かつ、保持対象のタイヤ外周部材Tに対応して変更される可変部材である。調整部材46は、可動部材45に取り付けられて、タイヤ外周部材Tの外周に接触する。   The movable member 45 (see FIGS. 5A to 5C) is an outer member located on the outer side (outer peripheral side) of the holding member 40 and is connected to the moving device 33. The moving device 33 moves the entire holding member 40 by moving the movable member 45. The adjusting member 46 is an inner member located on the inner side (inner peripheral side) of the holding member 40 and is a variable member that is changed corresponding to the tire outer peripheral member T to be held. The adjustment member 46 is attached to the movable member 45 and contacts the outer periphery of the tire outer peripheral member T.

調整部材46は、タイヤ外周部材Tの外径と外周形状に対応して形成される。また、調整部材46の寸法は、可動部材45とタイヤ外周部材Tの間の距離に合わせて設定され、保持面42の形状は、タイヤ外周部材Tの外周形状に合わせて設定される。保持部材40は、調整部材46により、タイヤ外周部材Tに対応して調整されて、複数種類のタイヤ外周部材Tを同等に保持する。ただし、図5Dに示すように、可動部材45のみによりタイヤ外周部材Tを保持できるときには、調整部材46が可動部材45から取り外される。   The adjusting member 46 is formed corresponding to the outer diameter and outer peripheral shape of the tire outer peripheral member T. The dimensions of the adjustment member 46 are set according to the distance between the movable member 45 and the tire outer peripheral member T, and the shape of the holding surface 42 is set according to the outer peripheral shape of the tire outer peripheral member T. The holding member 40 is adjusted by the adjusting member 46 so as to correspond to the tire outer peripheral member T, and holds the plural types of tire outer peripheral members T equally. However, as shown in FIG. 5D, when the tire outer circumferential member T can be held only by the movable member 45, the adjustment member 46 is removed from the movable member 45.

保持部材40により保持されたタイヤ外周部材Tの内側でグリーンケースK(図1参照)を膨張させて、グリーンケースKをタイヤ外周部材Tの内周に押し付ける。このようにして、生タイヤを成形し、生タイヤを加硫成形してタイヤを製造する。生タイヤの成形時には、タイヤ外周部材Tは、保持部材40やグリーンケースKから圧力を受ける。その結果、タイヤ外周部材Tの外周が、保持部材40の分割位置Rや隙間43に押し付けられて変形することがある。タイヤ外周部材Tの外周が変形すると、外周の変形が、生タイヤ及び加硫成形後のタイヤのユニフォミティに影響をおよぼす。即ち、タイヤのユニフォミティは、タイヤ外周部材Tの変形に応じて変化する。   The green case K (see FIG. 1) is expanded inside the tire outer peripheral member T held by the holding member 40, and the green case K is pressed against the inner periphery of the tire outer peripheral member T. In this manner, a green tire is molded, and the green tire is vulcanized to produce a tire. The tire outer circumferential member T receives pressure from the holding member 40 and the green case K when the green tire is molded. As a result, the outer periphery of the tire outer peripheral member T may be deformed by being pressed against the division position R or the gap 43 of the holding member 40. If the outer periphery of the tire outer peripheral member T is deformed, the outer peripheral deformation affects the uniformity of the green tire and the tire after vulcanization molding. In other words, the uniformity of the tire changes according to the deformation of the tire outer peripheral member T.

上記した従来の保持部材101(図8、図9参照)の分割位置Rでは、保持部材101の縁部と隙間102がタイヤ幅方向Wに平行になっている。タイヤ外周部材Tの外周が分割位置Rや隙間102で変形したときには、外周の変形部分がタイヤ幅方向Wに平行に形成される。このように、従来の保持装置100では、タイヤ外周部材Tの変形部分が、タイヤ幅方向Wに連続するため、変形の影響が増幅されて大きくなることがある。そのため、保持装置100を使用して製造したタイヤでは、ユニフォミティが低下する虞がある。このユニフォミティが低下する場合の例について、タイヤのユニフォミティを表すRFVに基づき説明する。   At the dividing position R of the conventional holding member 101 (see FIGS. 8 and 9) described above, the edge of the holding member 101 and the gap 102 are parallel to the tire width direction W. When the outer periphery of the tire outer peripheral member T is deformed at the dividing position R or the gap 102, a deformed portion of the outer periphery is formed in parallel to the tire width direction W. Thus, in the conventional holding device 100, since the deformed portion of the tire outer peripheral member T is continuous in the tire width direction W, the influence of the deformation may be amplified and become large. Therefore, in a tire manufactured using the holding device 100, there is a possibility that the uniformity is lowered. An example of the case where the uniformity is lowered will be described based on the RFV representing the tire uniformity.

図6は、従来の保持装置100により製造したタイヤGのユニフォミティを説明するための図である。図6Aは、タイヤGの外周と保持部材101間の隙間102(図6ではハッチングを付す)を示す平面図である。図6Aでは、タイヤGのタイヤ周方向Pの一部と1箇所の隙間102を示す。図6Bは、タイヤGの外周の全体と隙間102を平面に展開して示す図である。図6Bでは、仮想的に、タイヤGをタイヤ周方向Pに縮めて示し、隙間102を実際よりも広く示す。また、タイヤGに重ねて、3つのRFV波形E1、E2、E3を示す。3つのRFV波形E1、E2、E3は、それぞれ図6Aに示す3つの位置F1、F2、F3におけるタイヤGのRFV波形である。図6Cは、タイヤGの全体におけるRFV波形H1を示す図である。RFV波形H1は、タイヤGの各位置のRFV波形を合成した合成波である。   FIG. 6 is a view for explaining the uniformity of the tire G manufactured by the conventional holding device 100. FIG. 6A is a plan view showing a gap 102 (hatched in FIG. 6) between the outer periphery of the tire G and the holding member 101. FIG. 6A shows a part of the tire G in the tire circumferential direction P and one gap 102. FIG. 6B is a diagram in which the entire outer periphery of the tire G and the gap 102 are developed in a plane. In FIG. 6B, the tire G is virtually shown contracted in the tire circumferential direction P, and the gap 102 is shown wider than actual. In addition, three RFV waveforms E1, E2, and E3 are shown superimposed on the tire G. Three RFV waveforms E1, E2, and E3 are RFV waveforms of the tire G at three positions F1, F2, and F3 shown in FIG. 6A, respectively. 6C is a diagram illustrating an RFV waveform H1 in the entire tire G. FIG. The RFV waveform H1 is a synthesized wave obtained by synthesizing the RFV waveform at each position of the tire G.

図示のように、RFVは、隙間102の部分で正の方向に大きくなり、隙間102の間の部分で負の方向に大きくなる。3つのRFV波形E1、E2、E3は、波状に変化しつつ、タイヤ周方向Pに沿って同様に変化する。RFVの正のピークと負のピークは、それぞれタイヤ周方向Pの同じ部分に位置し、タイヤ幅方向Wに連続する。その結果、タイヤGの全体におけるRFV波形H1では、正のピークと負のピークが増幅されて、RFV波形H1の振幅が大きくなる。タイヤGのRFVが大きくなることで、タイヤGが走行時に発生する音が大きくなり、タイヤGが隙間102の数に応じた音を発生する。また、車両とタイヤGとが共振することで、より大きな音が発生する。   As illustrated, the RFV increases in the positive direction at the gap 102 and increases in the negative direction at the gap 102. The three RFV waveforms E1, E2, and E3 change in the same manner along the tire circumferential direction P while changing in a wave shape. The positive peak and the negative peak of RFV are located at the same portion in the tire circumferential direction P and are continuous in the tire width direction W. As a result, in the RFV waveform H1 of the entire tire G, the positive peak and the negative peak are amplified, and the amplitude of the RFV waveform H1 is increased. As the RFV of the tire G increases, the sound generated when the tire G travels increases, and the tire G generates a sound corresponding to the number of the gaps 102. Further, the vehicle and the tire G resonate to generate a louder sound.

これに対し、本実施形態の保持装置30(図3参照)では、保持部材40の分割位置Rに傾斜部41を設けている。そのため、タイヤ外周部材Tの外周が分割位置Rや傾斜部41間の隙間43で変形したときに、外周の変形部分がタイヤ幅方向Wに対して傾斜するように形成される。タイヤ外周部材Tの変形部分がタイヤ周方向Pに次第にずれるため、変形の影響がタイヤ周方向Pに分散する。その結果、保持装置30を使用して製造したタイヤGでは、ユニフォミティが良化する。   On the other hand, in the holding device 30 (see FIG. 3) of the present embodiment, the inclined portion 41 is provided at the division position R of the holding member 40. Therefore, when the outer periphery of the tire outer peripheral member T is deformed by the split position R or the gap 43 between the inclined portions 41, the outer peripheral deformed portion is formed to be inclined with respect to the tire width direction W. Since the deformed portion of the tire outer circumferential member T gradually shifts in the tire circumferential direction P, the influence of the deformation is dispersed in the tire circumferential direction P. As a result, in the tire G manufactured using the holding device 30, the uniformity is improved.

図7は、本実施形態の保持装置30により製造したタイヤGのユニフォミティを説明するための図である。図7Aは、タイヤGの外周と傾斜部41間の隙間43(図7ではハッチングを付す)を示す平面図である。図7Aでは、タイヤGのタイヤ周方向Pの一部と2箇所の隙間43を示す。図7Bは、タイヤGの外周の全体と隙間43を平面に展開して示す図である。図7Bでは、仮想的に、タイヤGをタイヤ周方向Pに縮めて示し、隙間43を実際よりも広く示す。また、タイヤGに重ねて、3つのRFV波形E4、E5、E6を示す。3つのRFV波形E4、E5、E6は、それぞれ図7Aに示す3つの位置F4、F5、F6におけるタイヤGのRFV波形である。図7Cは、タイヤGの全体におけるRFV波形H2を示す図である。RFV波形H2は、タイヤGの各位置のRFV波形を合成した合成波である。   FIG. 7 is a view for explaining the uniformity of the tire G manufactured by the holding device 30 of the present embodiment. 7A is a plan view showing a gap 43 (hatched in FIG. 7) between the outer periphery of the tire G and the inclined portion 41. FIG. In FIG. 7A, a part of the tire G in the tire circumferential direction P and two gaps 43 are shown. FIG. 7B is a diagram in which the entire outer periphery of the tire G and the gap 43 are developed in a plane. In FIG. 7B, the tire G is shown in a contracted manner in the tire circumferential direction P, and the gap 43 is shown wider than actual. In addition, three RFV waveforms E4, E5, and E6 are shown superimposed on the tire G. Three RFV waveforms E4, E5, E6 are RFV waveforms of the tire G at three positions F4, F5, F6 shown in FIG. 7A, respectively. FIG. 7C is a diagram showing an RFV waveform H2 in the entire tire G. FIG. The RFV waveform H2 is a synthesized wave obtained by synthesizing the RFV waveform at each position of the tire G.

図示のように、RFVは、隙間43の部分で正の方向に大きくなり、隙間43の間の部分で負の方向に大きくなる。RFVの正のピークと負のピークは、隙間43の傾斜に対応して、それぞれタイヤ周方向Pのずれた部分に位置する。3つのRFV波形E4、E5、E6は、タイヤ周方向Pにずれた状態で波状に変化する。RFVの正のピークと負のピークがタイヤ周方向Pに分散され、RFVの正の部分と負の部分がタイヤ周方向Pの同じ部分に位置する。その結果、タイヤGの全体におけるRFV波形H2では、正のピークと負のピークが増幅されずに、RFV波形H2の振幅が小さくなる。タイヤGのRFVが小さくなるため、タイヤGが走行時に発生する音が小さくなる。車両とタイヤGとの共振も抑制されるため、騒音が低減する。   As illustrated, RFV increases in the positive direction at the gap 43 and increases in the negative direction at the gap 43. The positive peak and the negative peak of RFV are respectively located at portions shifted in the tire circumferential direction P corresponding to the inclination of the gap 43. The three RFV waveforms E4, E5, E6 change in a wave shape in a state of being shifted in the tire circumferential direction P. A positive peak and a negative peak of RFV are dispersed in the tire circumferential direction P, and a positive portion and a negative portion of RFV are located in the same portion in the tire circumferential direction P. As a result, in the RFV waveform H2 of the entire tire G, the positive peak and the negative peak are not amplified, and the amplitude of the RFV waveform H2 is reduced. Since the RFV of the tire G becomes small, the sound generated when the tire G travels becomes small. Since resonance between the vehicle and the tire G is also suppressed, noise is reduced.

以上説明したように、本実施形態の保持装置30では、タイヤGのユニフォミティを向上させて、タイヤGの走行時に発生する音を低減することができる。また、保持部材40の調整部材46を変更することで、1つの保持装置30により、様々なタイヤ外周部材Tを適切に保持できる。タイヤ周方向Pに隣接する隙間43(図3参照)が重複部分44を有するため、タイヤ幅方向Wの全体に、RFVの負の部分(又は、正の部分)のみが位置するのを防止できる。その結果、RFV波形H2の振幅を確実に小さくできるとともに、タイヤGの発生する音を確実に低減できる。   As described above, in the holding device 30 of the present embodiment, the uniformity of the tire G can be improved and the sound generated when the tire G is traveling can be reduced. Further, by changing the adjustment member 46 of the holding member 40, various tire outer peripheral members T can be appropriately held by one holding device 30. Since the gap 43 (see FIG. 3) adjacent to the tire circumferential direction P has the overlapping portion 44, it is possible to prevent only the negative portion (or positive portion) of RFV from being located in the entire tire width direction W. . As a result, the amplitude of the RFV waveform H2 can be reliably reduced, and the sound generated by the tire G can be reliably reduced.

傾斜部41のタイヤ幅方向Wに対する角度Yが10°未満であるときには、タイヤ外周部材Tの変形の影響を、タイヤ周方向Pに充分に分散できない虞がある。これに対し、傾斜部41の角度Yが60°を超えるときには、保持部材40と支持部材31が干渉する虞がある。同時に、保持部材40がタイヤ周方向Pに長くなるため、保持部材40の製造が困難になる。そのため、傾斜部41の角度Yは、10°以上60°以下にするのが好ましい。このようにすることで、タイヤ外周部材Tの変形の影響をタイヤ周方向Pに充分に分散できるため、タイヤGの発生する音を確実に低減できる。また、保持部材40の干渉を防止できるとともに、保持部材40を容易に製造できる。   When the angle Y of the inclined portion 41 with respect to the tire width direction W is less than 10 °, there is a possibility that the influence of the deformation of the tire outer circumferential member T cannot be sufficiently dispersed in the tire circumferential direction P. On the other hand, when the angle Y of the inclined portion 41 exceeds 60 °, the holding member 40 and the support member 31 may interfere with each other. At the same time, since the holding member 40 becomes longer in the tire circumferential direction P, it becomes difficult to manufacture the holding member 40. Therefore, it is preferable that the angle Y of the inclined portion 41 is 10 ° or more and 60 ° or less. By doing in this way, since the influence of a deformation | transformation of the tire outer peripheral member T can fully be disperse | distributed to the tire circumferential direction P, the sound which the tire G generate | occur | produces can be reduced reliably. Further, the interference of the holding member 40 can be prevented, and the holding member 40 can be easily manufactured.

なお、分割位置Rの保持部材40の一部に、傾斜しない部分を形成するようにしてもよい。このようにしても、傾斜部41による上記した効果が得られる。ただし、傾斜部41を分割位置Rの全体に形成するときには、傾斜部41による効果を、より大きくできる。傾斜部41は、湾曲するように形成してもよく、途中で角度が変化するように形成してもよい。   In addition, you may make it form the part which does not incline in a part of holding member 40 of the division | segmentation position R. FIG. Even if it does in this way, the above-mentioned effect by inclined part 41 will be acquired. However, when the inclined portion 41 is formed over the entire division position R, the effect of the inclined portion 41 can be further increased. The inclined portion 41 may be formed so as to be curved, or may be formed so that the angle changes midway.

保持部材40の数は、タイヤ外周部材Tの形状や寸法に対応して設定される。例えば、5〜30個の保持部材40が、保持装置30に設けられる。調整部材46の厚さは、複数の可動部材45内の寸法とタイヤ外周部材Tの外径との差に対応して設定される。例えば、調整部材46の厚さは、5〜30mmに設定される。   The number of holding members 40 is set corresponding to the shape and dimensions of the tire outer peripheral member T. For example, 5 to 30 holding members 40 are provided in the holding device 30. The thickness of the adjusting member 46 is set corresponding to the difference between the dimensions in the plurality of movable members 45 and the outer diameter of the tire outer peripheral member T. For example, the thickness of the adjustment member 46 is set to 5 to 30 mm.

本実施形態では、保持装置30により、トレッドとベルトからなるタイヤ外周部材Tを保持して搬送する例を説明した。これに対し、タイヤ外周部材Tは、トレッドのみからなる部材、又は、トレッドと1以上のタイヤ構成部材からなる部材であってもよい。   In this embodiment, the example which hold | maintains and conveys the tire outer peripheral member T which consists of a tread and a belt with the holding | maintenance apparatus 30 was demonstrated. On the other hand, the tire outer peripheral member T may be a member composed only of a tread or a member composed of a tread and one or more tire constituent members.

また、保持装置30により、成形後の生タイヤを外周から保持してもよい。生タイヤは、複数の保持部材40により、タイヤ外周部材Tと同様に保持される。その際、複数の保持部材40は、生タイヤを囲んで環状に配置され、生タイヤの外周に接触する。調整部材46は、生タイヤに対応して変更されて、生タイヤに接触する。生タイヤは、保持装置30により取り出された後、成形工程の後の工程(加硫工程等)へ搬送される。保持部材40により生タイヤの外周が変形した場合には、外周の変形の影響がタイヤ周方向Pに分散される。そのため、タイヤGのユニフォミティを向上させて、タイヤGの走行時に発生する音を低減することができる。   Further, the green tire after molding may be held from the outer periphery by the holding device 30. The raw tire is held in the same manner as the tire outer peripheral member T by the plurality of holding members 40. At that time, the plurality of holding members 40 are arranged in an annular shape so as to surround the green tire and come into contact with the outer periphery of the green tire. The adjustment member 46 is changed corresponding to the raw tire and comes into contact with the raw tire. After the raw tire is taken out by the holding device 30, it is transported to a process (such as a vulcanization process) after the molding process. When the outer periphery of the raw tire is deformed by the holding member 40, the influence of the outer periphery deformation is dispersed in the tire circumferential direction P. Therefore, the uniformity of the tire G can be improved and the sound generated when the tire G is traveling can be reduced.

このように、保持装置30によりタイヤ外周部材T又は生タイヤを保持することで、ユニフォミティの向上とタイヤGの音を低減する効果が得られる。保持装置30により生タイヤを保持するときには、タイヤ周方向、タイヤ半径方向、タイヤ幅方向は、それぞれ生タイヤの周方向、半径方向、幅方向である。   In this way, by holding the tire outer peripheral member T or the raw tire by the holding device 30, the effect of improving uniformity and reducing the sound of the tire G can be obtained. When the raw tire is held by the holding device 30, the tire circumferential direction, the tire radial direction, and the tire width direction are the circumferential direction, the radial direction, and the width direction of the raw tire, respectively.
