Description

この発明は、4種類の未加硫ゴムを互いに密着させた後、押し出すようにした未加硫ゴムの押出し装置に関する。 The present invention, 4 after the type of unvulcanized rubber into close contact with each other, about the extruded City equipment unvulcanized rubber to extrude.

従来の未加硫ゴムの押出し装置としては、例えば以下の特許文献1に記載されているようなものが知られている。 The extrusion City equipment of a conventional unvulcanized rubber, there is known, as described for example in Patent Document 1 below.

特開2001−047494号公報JP 2001-047494 A

このものは、ブロック状を呈し、内部に種類の異なる4種類の未加硫ゴムが通過するとともに、1つの領域で合流する4本のゴム通路が形成され、前記合流域において合流することで互いに密着した前記未加硫ゴムが押出される押出し口を前面に有するヘッドと、前記ヘッドの後面にそれぞれ上下方向に離れた状態で連結されることにより前記4つのゴム通路にそれぞれ接続され、供給された常温の未加硫ゴムを熱入れしながら前記合流域に向かって移送する、例えばスクリュー式押出し機からなる4つの移送手段とを備えたものである。   This has a block shape, and four types of unvulcanized rubbers of different types pass through it, and four rubber passages that merge in one region are formed. A head having an extrusion port through which the unvulcanized rubber that is in close contact is extruded is connected to the four rubber passages by being connected to the rear surface of the head in a vertically separated state. In addition, it is provided with four transfer means composed of, for example, a screw-type extruder, which transfers the uncured rubber at normal temperature toward the joining area while heating.

しかしながら、このような従来の未加硫ゴムの押出し装置にあっては、常温で供給された未加硫ゴムを移送手段による移送途中において熱入れするようにしているため、いずれかの未加硫ゴムに熱入れ不足が生じ易く、このような熱入れ不足が生じた場合には、押出された帯状部材の品質が低下する、例えば凹凸が生じてしまうという課題があった。そこで、前述のような熱入れ不足を解消するため、シリンダバレルの長さLをシリンダ径Dで除した値が大きな値である移送手段を使用することも考えられるが、このようにすると、移送中に未加硫ゴムの温度が上昇し易いため、未加硫ゴムの移送速度(スクリューの回転速度)をゴム焼けの発生しない速度まで制限せざるを得ず、この結果、作業能率が低下してしまうという課題があった。そして、このような課題は、天然ゴムが配合されたトラック・バス用のトップトレッドを押し出し成形する場合に、より顕著となるのである。 However, in such extrusion City equipment of a conventional unvulcanized rubber, since you have to put the heat in the middle transfer by the transfer means the unvulcanized rubber supplied at room temperature, any unreacted The vulcanized rubber is likely to be insufficiently heated, and when such insufficient heating occurs, the quality of the extruded belt-like member is deteriorated, for example, there is a problem that unevenness is generated. Therefore, in order to eliminate the shortage of heat input as described above, it may be possible to use a transfer means having a large value obtained by dividing the length L of the cylinder barrel by the cylinder diameter D. Since the temperature of the unvulcanized rubber is likely to rise, the transfer speed of the unvulcanized rubber (screw rotation speed) must be limited to a speed at which no rubber is burnt, resulting in a reduction in work efficiency. There was a problem that it would end up. And such a subject becomes more remarkable when extruding the top tread for trucks and buses containing natural rubber.

この発明は、作業能率を向上させながら押出された未加硫ゴムの品質を容易に向上させることができる未加硫ゴムの押出し装置を提供することを目的とする。 This invention aims to provide an extrusion City equipment of the unvulcanized rubber can be easily improve the quality of unvulcanized rubber which is extruded while improving work efficiency.

このような目的は、ブロック状を呈し、内部に種類の異なる4種類の未加硫ゴムが通過するとともに、1つの領域で合流する4本のゴム通路が形成され、前記合流域において合流することで互いに密着した前記未加硫ゴムが押出される押出し口を下面に有するヘッドと、前記ヘッドの略90度離れた側面の4箇所にそれぞれ連結されることで前記4つのゴム通路にそれぞれ接続され、熱入れされることで温度が上昇した未加硫ゴムをそのまま前記合流域に向かって移送する4つの移送手段とを備えた未加硫ゴムの押出し装置において、前記ヘッドを、下面に前後方向に延びる収納溝が形成された押出しヘッドと、該押出しヘッドの収納溝に取外し可能に収納され、内部に前記合流域が配置されるとともに、下面に前記押出し口が形成されたダイホルダーとから構成し、かつ、前記いずれか1つの移送手段をダイホルダーの前面に連結するとともに、該移送手段からの未加硫ゴムをダイホルダー内において長手方向に延びるゴム通路を通じて合流域まで移送する一方、残りいずれか1つの移送手段をダイホルダーの後面に連結するとともに、該移送手段からの未加硫ゴムをダイホルダー内において長手方向に延びるゴム通路を通じて合流域まで移送するようにした未加硫ゴムの押出し装置により、達成することができる。 These objects exhibit block-shaped, with different four unvulcanized rubber passes inside, four rubber passage merging in one region is formed, joins in the merging region Connected to each of the four rubber passages by being connected to a head having an extrusion port on the lower surface through which the unvulcanized rubber that is in close contact with each other is extruded and a side surface approximately 90 degrees apart of the head. And an unvulcanized rubber extruding device comprising four transfer means for transferring the unvulcanized rubber whose temperature has been raised by heating to the merging zone as it is, Extrusion head formed with a storage groove extending in the direction, and a die that is detachably stored in the storage groove of the extrusion head, the junction area is disposed inside, and the extrusion port is formed on the lower surface And one of the transfer means is connected to the front surface of the die holder, and the unvulcanized rubber from the transfer means is transferred to the joining area through a rubber passage extending in the longitudinal direction in the die holder. On the other hand, one of the remaining transfer means is connected to the rear surface of the die holder, and unvulcanized rubber from the transfer means is transferred to the merge area through a rubber passage extending in the longitudinal direction in the die holder. This can be achieved by a vulcanized rubber extrusion device.

この発明においては、熱入れされることで温度が上昇した未加硫ゴムを移送手段に供給した後、該移送手段により未加硫ゴムを合流域までそのまま移送して互いに密着させ帯状部材として押出し口から押し出すようにしているため、いずれの未加硫ゴムにも熱入れ不足が生じるようなことはなく、この結果、押出された帯状部材の品質を容易に向上させることができる。しかも、未加硫ゴムの移送速度を高くしてもゴム焼けが生じるようなことはなく、作業能率を向上させることができる。さらに、移送手段に供給する未加硫ゴムを熱入れするための熱入れ手段は、移送手段がヘッドの略90度離れた側面の4箇所にそれぞれ連結されているので、これら熱入れ手段間の相互間隔を大きく取ることができ、これらが互いに干渉するような事態を容易に阻止することができる。   In this invention, after the unvulcanized rubber whose temperature has been raised by heating is supplied to the transfer means, the unvulcanized rubber is transferred as it is to the merging zone by the transfer means and is brought into close contact with each other and extruded as a belt-like member. Since extrusion is performed from the mouth, there is no case where any unvulcanized rubber is insufficiently heated, and as a result, the quality of the extruded belt-shaped member can be easily improved. Moreover, even if the transfer rate of the unvulcanized rubber is increased, the rubber is not burned, and the work efficiency can be improved. Further, the heating means for heating the unvulcanized rubber supplied to the transfer means is connected to the four places on the side surface of the head that is approximately 90 degrees apart. A large mutual interval can be taken, and the situation where they interfere with each other can be easily prevented.

また、帯状部材を構成する各未加硫ゴムの分布、量に変更があった場合、ダイホルダーを対応するものに交換するだけで容易に対処することができ、作業能率が容易に向上する。しかも、ダイホルダーに形成されたゴム通路を通過する未加硫ゴムは通過距離が短いため、途中で滞留する事態を防止することができ、これにより、ゴムの破れや焦げ等を容易に抑制することができる。さらに、請求項に記載のように構成すれば、ダイホルダーを交換する際の作業能率を容易に向上させることができる。そして、この発明は請求項に記載のような帯状部材(トップトレッド)の成形に好適である。 Further, the distribution of the unvulcanized rubber constituting the strip-like member, if there is a change in the amount, only by replacing the one corresponding die holder with ease can be addressed, the work efficiency is easily improved . Moreover, since the unvulcanized rubber passing through the rubber passage formed in the die holder has a short passage distance, it is possible to prevent a situation in which it stays in the middle, thereby easily suppressing the tearing or scorching of the rubber. be able to. Furthermore, if it comprises as described in Claim 2 , the work efficiency at the time of replacing | exchanging die holders can be improved easily. And this invention is suitable for shaping | molding of the strip | belt-shaped member (top tread) as described in Claim 3 .

以下、この発明の実施形態1を図面に基づいて説明する。
図1〜5において、11は4種類の未加硫ゴムMを互いに密着させた後、帯状部材Bとして押し出す押出し装置であり、この押出し装置11はブロック状を呈する、ここでは中心軸が鉛直方向に延びた円柱状を呈するヘッド12を有する。なお、前記ヘッド12は直方体状、立方体状を呈し、4つの直交する側面を有するものであってもよい。13、14はヘッド12の周囲に略 180度離れて配置され、左右方向に延びる2つの移送手段としての第1、第2押出し機であり、これらの第1、第2押出し機13、14の先端はヘッド12の側面(左面および右面)にそれぞれ略 180度離れて連結固定されている。これら第1、第2押出し機13、14の内部には回転可能なスクリュー15がそれぞれ内蔵され、これらのスクリュー15は駆動部16から回転駆動力を受けることで回転し、これら第1、第2押出し機13、14の後端部に形成されたホッパー17、18から第1、第2押出し機13、14の内部に投入された未加硫ゴムMをヘッド12に向かって移送する。
Embodiment 1 of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
1-5, 11 is an extrusion apparatus which extrudes as a strip | belt-shaped member B, after making 4 types of unvulcanized rubbers M contact | adhere, This extrusion apparatus 11 exhibits block shape, and a central axis is a perpendicular direction here And a head 12 having a columnar shape extending in the direction. The head 12 may have a rectangular parallelepiped shape or a cubic shape and may have four orthogonal side surfaces. Reference numerals 13 and 14 denote first and second extruders which are arranged around the head 12 at a distance of approximately 180 degrees and extend in the left-right direction. The first and second extruders 13 and 14 The tip is connected and fixed to the side surface (left surface and right surface) of the head 12 at a distance of approximately 180 degrees. Each of the first and second extruders 13 and 14 includes a rotatable screw 15, and these screws 15 rotate by receiving a rotational driving force from the drive unit 16. Unvulcanized rubber M introduced into the first and second extruders 13 and 14 is transferred toward the head 12 from hoppers 17 and 18 formed at the rear ends of the extruders 13 and 14.

ここで、前記ホッパー17、18を通じて第1、第2押出し機13、14内に投入される未加硫ゴムMは、種類(配合組成)の異なる2種類の未加硫ゴムであるが、前記帯状部材Bがトラック・バス用タイヤのトップトレッドである場合、第1押出し機13内に投入される未加硫ゴムM1は、例えば図5に示すようなキャップゴムCGとなり、一方、第2押出し機14内に投入される未加硫ゴムM2はベースゴムBGとなる。また、前記第1、第2押出し機13、14内に投入される未加硫ゴムMは、ホッパー17、18の直上に設置された図示していない熱入れロール、熱入れスクリュー等の熱入れ(混練)手段により熱入れ(混練)が十分に施され加硫開始温度未満の高温まで温度が上昇したものであり、この結果、前記第1、第2押出し機13、14内を未加硫ゴムM1、M2がヘッド12に向かって移送される際、熱入れは殆ど行われない。なお、この発明においては、第1押出し機13により未加硫ゴムM2(ベースゴムBG)を、第2押出し機14により未加硫ゴムM1(キャップゴムCG)を移送するようにしてもよい。   Here, the unvulcanized rubber M introduced into the first and second extruders 13 and 14 through the hoppers 17 and 18 is two types of unvulcanized rubbers having different types (compounding compositions). When the belt-like member B is a top tread of a truck / bus tire, the unvulcanized rubber M1 charged into the first extruder 13 becomes, for example, a cap rubber CG as shown in FIG. The unvulcanized rubber M2 charged into the machine 14 becomes the base rubber BG. Further, the unvulcanized rubber M put into the first and second extruders 13 and 14 is heated by a heating roll (not shown), a heating screw or the like, which is installed immediately above the hoppers 17 and 18. (Kneading) means that the material is sufficiently heated (kneaded) and the temperature rises to a high temperature below the vulcanization start temperature. As a result, the inside of the first and second extruders 13 and 14 is unvulcanized. When the rubber M1 and M2 are transferred toward the head 12, almost no heating is performed. In the present invention, unvulcanized rubber M2 (base rubber BG) may be transferred by the first extruder 13, and unvulcanized rubber M1 (cap rubber CG) may be transferred by the second extruder 14.

前記ヘッド12は下面に前後方向に延びる収納溝22が形成された押出しヘッド23と、該収納溝22に収納され前後方向に延びるとともに、断面が偏平な八角形を呈するダイホルダー24とを有し、前記ダイホルダー24が押出しヘッド23の収納溝22に収納されると、該ダイホルダー24の幅方向両端部下面にクランプ25がそれぞれ押し付けられることで、該ダイホルダー24は押出しヘッド23に位置決め固定される。この結果、前記ダイホルダー24は押出しヘッド23の収納溝22に取外し可能に収納されることになる。ここで、前記押出しヘッド23の内部には前記第1、第2押出し機13、14の先端開口に連通し、該第1、第2押出し機13、14から押出された未加硫ゴムM1、M2を前記収納溝22の底面、即ちダイホルダー24の上面に導く第1、第2主ゴム通路26、27が形成されている。そして、前記ダイホルダー24は長手方向中央部上面に嵌合凹み28が形成されたホルダー本体29と、該嵌合凹み28の第1押出し機13側、即ち左側に嵌合固定されたインサートブロック30と、嵌合凹み28の第2押出し機14側、即ち右側に嵌合されたインサートブロック31とから構成されている。   The head 12 has an extrusion head 23 in which a storage groove 22 extending in the front-rear direction is formed on the lower surface, and a die holder 24 that is stored in the storage groove 22 and extends in the front-rear direction and has an octagonal cross section. When the die holder 24 is housed in the housing groove 22 of the extrusion head 23, the clamps 25 are pressed against the lower surfaces of both ends of the width direction of the die holder 24, so that the die holder 24 is positioned and fixed to the extrusion head 23. Is done. As a result, the die holder 24 is detachably stored in the storage groove 22 of the extrusion head 23. Here, the inside of the extrusion head 23 communicates with the front end openings of the first and second extruders 13 and 14, and unvulcanized rubber M1 extruded from the first and second extruders 13 and 14, First and second main rubber passages 26 and 27 for guiding M2 to the bottom surface of the storage groove 22, that is, the top surface of the die holder 24 are formed. The die holder 24 includes a holder main body 29 having a fitting recess 28 formed on the upper surface in the longitudinal center, and an insert block 30 fitted and fixed to the first extruder 13 side of the fitting recess 28, that is, the left side. And the insert block 31 fitted to the second extruder 14 side of the fitting recess 28, that is, the right side.

前記インサートブロック30の第2押出し機14側(右側部)と押出しヘッド23との間には前記第1主ゴム通路26に連通するとともに、下方に向かうに従い第2押出し機14側に接近する第1副ゴム通路32が形成され、この第1副ゴム通路32には前記第1主ゴム通路26から未加硫ゴムM1が導かれる。一方、前記インサートブロック31の第1押出し機13側(左側部)と押出しヘッド23との間には前記第2主ゴム通路27に連通するとともに、下方に向かうに従い第1押出し機13側に接近する第2副ゴム通路33が形成され、この第2副ゴム通路33には前記第2主ゴム通路27から未加硫ゴムM2が導かれる。そして、これら第1、第2副ゴム通路32、33はダイホルダー24の厚さ方向中央部において合流し、1つの空間領域、即ち合流域34を形成する。この結果、前記第1、第2主ゴム通路26、27から第1、第2副ゴム通路32、33に導かれた未加硫ゴムM1、M2は下方に流動するに従い徐々に接近し前記合流域34において合流して互いに密着する。35はダイホルダー24の下部に着脱可能に取り付けられたダイであり、このダイ35とダイホルダー24との間には前記帯状部材Bの断面形状と同一形状の貫通した押出し口36が形成されている。   The insert block 30 communicates with the first main rubber passage 26 between the second extruder 14 side (right side) of the insert block 30 and the extrusion head 23, and approaches the second extruder 14 side downward. A first secondary rubber passage 32 is formed, and unvulcanized rubber M1 is guided to the first secondary rubber passage 32 from the first main rubber passage 26. On the other hand, between the first extruder 13 side (left side) of the insert block 31 and the extrusion head 23, it communicates with the second main rubber passage 27 and approaches the first extruder 13 side as it goes downward. The second secondary rubber passage 33 is formed, and the unvulcanized rubber M2 is guided to the second secondary rubber passage 33 from the second main rubber passage 27. The first and second sub-rubber passages 32 and 33 merge at the central portion in the thickness direction of the die holder 24 to form one space area, that is, a merge area 34. As a result, the unvulcanized rubbers M1 and M2 guided from the first and second main rubber passages 26 and 27 to the first and second sub rubber passages 32 and 33 gradually approach each other as they flow downward. In the basin 34, they merge and adhere to each other. A die 35 is detachably attached to the lower part of the die holder 24, and an extrusion port 36 having the same shape as the cross-sectional shape of the belt-like member B is formed between the die 35 and the die holder 24. Yes.

このようにヘッド12(ダイホルダー24)はその下面に未加硫ゴムMが押出される押出し口36を有している。そして、前述のように未加硫ゴムM1、M2はダイホルダー24の内部に配置された合流域34において合流することで互いに密着した後、前記押出し口36を通過するが、この際、これら密着した未加硫ゴムM1、M2は該押出し口36の断面形状とほぼ同一形状に成形され帯状となる。このようにして押出し装置11により連続して成形された帯状の未加硫ゴムM1、M2はダイホルダー24から垂下しながら下方に供給され、その後、図示していない搬送コンベア上に載置され、次工程に搬出される。   Thus, the head 12 (die holder 24) has an extrusion port 36 through which the unvulcanized rubber M is extruded. As described above, the unvulcanized rubbers M1 and M2 are brought into close contact with each other by joining in the joining region 34 disposed inside the die holder 24, and then pass through the extrusion port 36. The unvulcanized rubbers M1 and M2 thus formed are formed into a strip shape that is formed in substantially the same shape as the cross-sectional shape of the extrusion port 36. The strip-shaped unvulcanized rubber M1, M2 continuously molded by the extrusion device 11 in this way is supplied downward while hanging from the die holder 24, and then placed on a transport conveyor (not shown), It is carried out to the next process.

The third main and sub rubber passages 46 and 47 and the cutout 54 extend in the longitudinal direction in the die holder 24 as a whole and pass through the second rubber passage 59 through which the unvulcanized rubber M3 passes. In addition, the fourth main and auxiliary rubber passages 50 and 51 and the notch 55 constitute a fourth rubber passage 61 which extends in the longitudinal direction in the die holder 24 and through which the unvulcanized rubber M4 passes. As described above, the four transfer means (first, second, third, and fourth extruders 13, 14, 40, and 42) respectively connected to the four positions on the side surface of the head 12 that are approximately 90 degrees apart are the four. The four rubber passages (first, second, third, and fourth rubber passages 58, 59, 60, and 61) are connected to the four transfer means (first, second, third, and fourth, respectively). When the unvulcanized rubber M (unvulcanized rubber M1, M2, M3, M4), which has been heated by the extruder 13, 14, 40, 42), is heated, By operating in synchronism, the unvulcanized rubber M is transferred toward the merge zone 34 as it is, that is, with almost no temperature change.

このように種類の異なる4種類の、キャップゴムCBとなる未加硫ゴムM1、ベースゴムBGとなる未加硫ゴムM2、ミニサイドゴムMSとなる未加硫ゴムM3およびアンダークッションゴムUCとなる未加硫ゴムM4は、4つの移送手段、即ち、第1、第2、第3、第4押出し機13、14、40、42から前記4本のゴム通路、即ち、第1、第2、第3、第4ゴム通路58、59、60、61にそれぞれ供給された後、これら第1、第2、第3、第4ゴム通路58、59、60、61を通じて1つの領域、即ち合流域34に向かって移送され、該合流域34において合流されて互いに密着される。その後、これら密着した4種類の未加硫ゴムMはヘッド12の押出し口36を通じて押出され、所定断面形状の帯状部材B、ここではトラック・バス用のトップトレッドが成形される。このようにこの実施形態の押出し装置11は大型タイヤであるトラック・バス用の天然ゴムが配合されたトップトレッドの成形に好適である。なお、前述した4種類の未加硫ゴムMは、成形される帯状部材Bの種類により適宜変更することができる。   In this way, the four different types of unvulcanized rubber M1 as the cap rubber CB, unvulcanized rubber M2 as the base rubber BG, unvulcanized rubber M3 as the mini-side rubber MS, and uncured rubber UC The vulcanized rubber M4 has four transfer means, that is, the first, second, third, and fourth extruders 13, 14, 40, 42 to the four rubber passages, that is, the first, second, and second. 3. After being supplied to the fourth rubber passages 58, 59, 60, 61, respectively, through these first, second, third, and fourth rubber passages 58, 59, 60, 61, one region, that is, the merge region 34 Are joined together in the joining zone 34 and brought into close contact with each other. Thereafter, the four types of unvulcanized rubber M that are in close contact with each other are extruded through the extrusion port 36 of the head 12, and a belt-like member B having a predetermined cross-sectional shape, here, a top tread for trucks and buses is formed. As described above, the extrusion device 11 of this embodiment is suitable for molding a top tread in which natural rubber for trucks and buses, which are large tires, is blended. The four types of unvulcanized rubber M described above can be appropriately changed depending on the type of the band-shaped member B to be molded.

そして、この実施形態においては、前述のように熱入れされることで温度が上昇した未加硫ゴムMを第1、第2、第3、第4押出し機13、14、40、42に供給した後、該未加硫ゴムMをこれら第1、第2、第3、第4押出し機13、14、40、42により合流域34までそのまま移送して互いに密着させ帯状部材Bとして押出し口36から押し出すようにしているため、いずれの未加硫ゴムMにも熱入れ不足が生じるようなことはなく、この結果、押出された帯状部材Bの品質を容易に向上させることができる。しかも、未加硫ゴムMの移送速度を高くしてもゴム焼けが生じるようなことはなく、作業能率を向上させることができる。さらに、第1、第2、第3、第4押出し機13、14、40、42に供給する未加硫ゴムMを熱入れするための熱入れ手段は、第1、第2、第3、第4押出し機13、14、40、42がヘッド12の略90度離れた側面の4箇所にそれぞれ連結されているので、これら熱入れ手段間の相互間隔を大きく取ることができ、これらが互いに干渉するような事態を容易に阻止することができる。   In this embodiment, the unvulcanized rubber M whose temperature has been increased by being heated as described above is supplied to the first, second, third, and fourth extruders 13, 14, 40, and 42. After that, the unvulcanized rubber M is directly transferred to the joining area 34 by these first, second, third, and fourth extruders 13, 14, 40, and 42, and is brought into close contact with each other to form an extrusion port 36 as a band member B. Therefore, any unvulcanized rubber M will not be insufficiently heated, and as a result, the quality of the extruded belt-like member B can be easily improved. Moreover, even if the transfer rate of the unvulcanized rubber M is increased, rubber burn does not occur, and the work efficiency can be improved. Furthermore, the heating means for heating the unvulcanized rubber M supplied to the first, second, third, and fourth extruders 13, 14, 40, and 42 are the first, second, third, Since the fourth extruders 13, 14, 40, and 42 are respectively connected to four locations on the side surface of the head 12 that are approximately 90 degrees apart, the mutual spacing between these heating means can be made large, Interferences can be easily prevented.

また、前述のようにヘッド12を、収納溝22が形成された押出しヘッド23と、該押出しヘッド23の収納溝22に取外し可能に収納され、内部に合流域34が配置されたダイホルダー24とから構成し、前記いずれか1つの移送手段、ここでは第3押出し機40をダイホルダー24の前面に連結するとともに、該第3押出し機40からの未加硫ゴムM3をダイホルダー24内の第3ゴム通路60を通じて合流域34まで移送する一方、残りいずれか1つの移送手段、ここでは第4押出し機42をダイホルダー24の後面に連結するとともに、該第4押出し機42からの未加硫ゴムM4をダイホルダー24内の第4ゴム通路61を通じて合流域34まで移送するようにしたので、帯状部材Bを構成する各未加硫ゴムMの分布、量に変更があった場合、ダイホルダー24を対応するものに交換するだけで容易に対処することができ、作業能率が容易に向上する。さらに、第3、第4ゴム通路60、61の一部分を押出しヘッド23に設けた場合には、帯状部材Bの変更に伴って押出しヘッド23そのものも交換する必要があるが、この実施形態ではダイホルダー24の交換だけで容易に対処することができる。しかも、ダイホルダー24に形成された第3、第4ゴム通路60、61を通過する未加硫ゴムM3、M4は通過距離が短いため、途中で滞留する事態を防止することができ、これにより、ゴムの破れや焦げ等を容易に抑制することができる。   Further, as described above, the head 12 includes an extrusion head 23 in which a storage groove 22 is formed, and a die holder 24 in which a merging area 34 is disposed in the storage groove 22 of the extrusion head 23 detachably. And one of the transfer means, here, the third extruder 40 is connected to the front surface of the die holder 24, and the unvulcanized rubber M3 from the third extruder 40 is connected to the first inside the die holder 24. 3. While transferring to the merge zone 34 through the rubber passage 60, one of the remaining transfer means, here, the fourth extruder 42 is connected to the rear surface of the die holder 24 and unvulcanized from the fourth extruder 42. Since the rubber M4 is transferred to the merge zone 34 through the fourth rubber passage 61 in the die holder 24, when the distribution and amount of each unvulcanized rubber M constituting the belt-like member B are changed, the die holder Simply replace 24 with a compatible one. To be able to cope, work efficiency can be easily improved. Furthermore, when a part of the third and fourth rubber passages 60 and 61 is provided in the extrusion head 23, it is necessary to replace the extrusion head 23 itself in accordance with the change of the belt-like member B. It can be easily handled by simply replacing the holder 24. Moreover, the unvulcanized rubber M3, M4 passing through the third and fourth rubber passages 60, 61 formed in the die holder 24 has a short passage distance, so that it is possible to prevent a situation where the unvulcanized rubber M3, M4 stays in the middle. Further, it is possible to easily suppress the tearing or scorching of rubber.

図1、6において、65はダイ12に連結されているときの第3、第4押出し機40、42双方の直下に敷設された前後方向に延びるガイドレールであり、このガイドレール65には前記第3、第4押出し機40、42が移動可能に支持されている。そして、前記第3、第4押出し機40、42とヘッド12(ダイホルダー24)との連結が解除されて該第3、第4押出し機40、42がヘッド12から取り外されると、該第3押出し機40はガイドレール65にガイドされながら前方に、一方、第4押出し機42はガイドレール65にガイドされながら後方に移動してヘッド12から離隔することができる。66は前記ヘッド12より前方に設置され前記ガイドレール65と直交しながら左右方向に延びる一対のガイドレールであり、これらのガイドレール66には、前記第3押出し機40がガイドレール65との交差位置まで移動してきたとき、該第3押出し機40がガイドレール65から乗り移って左右方向に移動可能に支持される。   In FIGS. 1 and 6, reference numeral 65 denotes a guide rail extending in the front-rear direction and laid directly under both the third and fourth extruders 40 and 42 when connected to the die 12. Third and fourth extruders 40 and 42 are movably supported. When the connection between the third and fourth extruders 40 and 42 and the head 12 (die holder 24) is released and the third and fourth extruders 40 and 42 are removed from the head 12, the third The extruder 40 can move forward while being guided by the guide rail 65, while the fourth extruder 42 can move backward while being guided by the guide rail 65 and can be separated from the head 12. 66 is a pair of guide rails installed in front of the head 12 and extending in the left-right direction while being orthogonal to the guide rails 65. The third extruder 40 intersects the guide rails 65 on these guide rails 66. When it has moved to the position, the third extruder 40 is supported from the guide rail 65 so as to be movable in the left-right direction.

69はヘッド12に装着されている現在のダイホルダー24と種類の異なる(異なる種類の帯状部材Bを成形する)新たなダイホルダー24が載置された載置台である。そして、前述のように第3、第4押出し機40、42がダイホルダー24から取り外されてヘッド12から離脱し、その後、前記載置台69および新たなダイホルダー24が、前記ガイドレール66に沿って右方に移動し、ガイドレール66とガイドレール65との交差位置においてガイドレール65に乗り移った後、ガイドレール65に沿ってヘッド12の直下まで後方に移動すると、現在のダイホルダー24は新たなダイホルダー24に交換される。このように異なった種類のダイホルダー24に変更する際、前述した両方の第3、第4押出し機40、42をダイホルダー24から取り外して離脱させるようにすれば、ダイホルダー24を交換する際の作業能率を容易に向上させることができる。   Reference numeral 69 denotes a mounting table on which a new die holder 24 of a different type from the current die holder 24 mounted on the head 12 (forming a different type of belt-like member B) is mounted. Then, as described above, the third and fourth extruders 40 and 42 are detached from the die holder 24 and detached from the head 12, and then the mounting table 69 and the new die holder 24 are moved along the guide rail 66. After moving to the guide rail 65 at the crossing position of the guide rail 66 and the guide rail 65, when moving backward along the guide rail 65 to just below the head 12, the current die holder 24 is renewed. It is exchanged for a new die holder 24. When changing to a different type of die holder 24 in this way, if both the third and fourth extruders 40 and 42 described above are removed from the die holder 24 and removed, the die holder 24 can be replaced. The work efficiency can be easily improved.

次に、前記実施形態1の作用について説明する。
今、第3押出し機40の先端部がヘッド12のダイホルダー24の前面に連結され、また、第4押出し機42の先端部がヘッド12の後面に連結されており、この結果、ブロック状を呈するヘッド12の略90度離れた側面の4箇所にそれぞれ4つの移送手段、即ち、第1、第2、第3、第4押出し機13、14、40、42が連結されているとする。この状態で前記第1、第2、第3、第4押出し機13、14、40、42を同期作動しスクリュー15を回転させると、ホッパー17、18、41、43を通じて第1、第2、第3、第4押出し機13、14、40、42内にそれぞれ供給された熱入れ済みで種類の異なる4種類の未加硫ゴムM1、M2、M3、M4は前記スクリュー15の回転によりヘッド12に向かって移送される。
Next, the operation of the first embodiment will be described.
Now, the leading end of the third extruder 40 is connected to the front surface of the die holder 24 of the head 12, and the leading end of the fourth extruder 42 is connected to the rear surface of the head 12. As a result, a block shape is formed. Assume that four transfer means, that is, first, second, third, and fourth extruders 13, 14, 40, and 42, are connected to four locations on the side surface of the head 12 that is approximately 90 degrees apart. In this state, when the first, second, third and fourth extruders 13, 14, 40 and 42 are operated synchronously and the screw 15 is rotated, the first, second, Four types of unvulcanized rubber M1, M2, M3, and M4, which have been heated and fed into the third and fourth extruders 13, 14, 40, and 42, respectively, It is transported toward.

ここで、前記第1、第2押出し機13、14からヘッド12の第1、第2ゴム通路58、59に供給された未加硫ゴムM1、M2は、該第1、第2ゴム通路58、59を通過しながら合流域34に向かって温度が変化することなくそのまま移送され、該合流域34において合流して互いに密着する。一方、前記第3、第4押出し機40、42からヘッド12(ダイホルダー24)の第3、第4ゴム通路60、61に供給された未加硫ゴムM3、M4は、該ダイホルダー24の第3、第4ゴム通路60、61を通過しながら前述と同一の合流域34に向かって温度が変化することなくそのまま移送され、該合流域34において合流して既に密着している未加硫ゴムM1、M2の幅方向両端部外面および裏面にそれぞれ密着する。このようにして合流域34において互いに密着した未加硫ゴムM(未加硫ゴムM1、M2、M3、M4)は、その後、押出し口36から下方に向かって押出され帯状部材Bが成形されるが、このとき、押出された帯状部材Bがトラック・バス用のトップトレッドであると、未加硫ゴムM1がキャップゴムCBと、未加硫ゴムM2がベースゴムBGと、未加硫ゴムM3がミニサイドゴムMSと、未加硫ゴムM4がアンダークッションゴムUCとなる。このようにして押出し装置11により成形された帯状部材Bはダイホルダー24から垂下しながら下方に供給され、その後、搬送コンベアにより次工程に搬出される。   Here, the unvulcanized rubbers M1 and M2 supplied from the first and second extruders 13 and 14 to the first and second rubber passages 58 and 59 of the head 12 are converted into the first and second rubber passages 58, respectively. , 59, are transferred as they are toward the merging zone 34 without changing the temperature, and merged in the merging zone 34 and closely contact each other. On the other hand, unvulcanized rubber M3 and M4 supplied from the third and fourth extruders 40 and 42 to the third and fourth rubber passages 60 and 61 of the head 12 (die holder 24) While passing through the third and fourth rubber passages 60 and 61, the temperature is not changed and is transferred as it is toward the same merging zone 34 as described above. The rubber M1 and M2 are in close contact with the outer surface and the back surface at both ends in the width direction. The unvulcanized rubbers M (unvulcanized rubbers M1, M2, M3, M4) that are in close contact with each other in the merging area 34 are then extruded downward from the extrusion port 36 to form the band-shaped member B. At this time, if the extruded belt-like member B is a top tread for trucks and buses, the unvulcanized rubber M1 is the cap rubber CB, the unvulcanized rubber M2 is the base rubber BG, and the unvulcanized rubber M3. Is the mini side rubber MS and the unvulcanized rubber M4 is the under cushion rubber UC. The belt-like member B formed by the extrusion device 11 in this way is supplied downward while hanging from the die holder 24, and then is carried out to the next process by the conveyor.

ここで、成形すべき帯状部材Bの種類が変更されると、現在のダイホルダー24を、変更される帯状部材Bに対応する新たなダイホルダー24に交換するが、この場合には、第3、第4押出し機40、42とヘッド12(ダイホルダー24)との連結を解除して該第3、第4押出し機40、42をヘッド12から取り外した後、該第3押出し機40をガイドレール65に沿って前方に、一方、第4押出し機42をガイドレール65に沿って後方に移動しヘッド12からそれぞれ離隔させる。その後、第3押出し機40をガイドレール66に沿って右方に移動させる。このとき、載置台69および新たなダイホルダー24をガイドレール66に沿って右方に移動させた後、ガイドレール65に沿ってヘッド12の直下まで移動させ、該位置において現在のダイホルダー24を新たなダイホルダー24に交換する。   Here, when the type of the belt-like member B to be molded is changed, the current die holder 24 is replaced with a new die holder 24 corresponding to the belt-like member B to be changed. After the fourth extruder 40, 42 and the head 12 (die holder 24) are disconnected and the third and fourth extruders 40, 42 are removed from the head 12, the third extruder 40 is guided. On the other hand, the fourth extruder 42 is moved rearward along the guide rail 65 and separated from the head 12 along the rail 65. Thereafter, the third extruder 40 is moved rightward along the guide rail 66. At this time, after the mounting table 69 and the new die holder 24 are moved to the right along the guide rail 66, they are moved to the position immediately below the head 12 along the guide rail 65, and the current die holder 24 is moved at the position. Replace with a new die holder 24.

この発明は、4種類の未加硫ゴムを互いに密着させた後、押し出すようにした産業分野に適用できる。   The present invention can be applied to the industrial field in which four types of unvulcanized rubber are brought into close contact with each other and then extruded.
