る。BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION One aspect of the present invention is a tire vulcanization molding die, and more specifically, a split vulcanization type tire vulcanization molding which is removably attached to a vertical dome type vulcanizer. Regarding molds, especially in the case of conventional molds, only a very small amount of processing is performed on them, and in the case of manufacturing a new mold, simple parts are simply added at the time of manufacture. Even if the vent hole processing is omitted or the vent hole is provided, the number is greatly reduced compared to the conventional one, and advantageously vulcanized molding to an unvulcanized tire without causing a bear failure in the tire The vulcanization molding die of the tire that can be applied, and can be stopped at a cost increase that can be offset with the vent hole processing cost, the second of the present invention, the vulcanization molding method of the tire, more specifically, This invention uses one mold Relates ear vulcanization process, in particular,
There is no spew on the tire after vulcanization, and even if spew exists, the number can be reduced to a very small number, so that the number of processing steps and cost can be reduced, and spew removal without generation of bears The present invention relates to a vulcanizing and molding method for a tire capable of providing a tire having excellent appearance with little or no spew removal marks.

The unvulcanized tire is pressed against the inner surface of the mold by introducing high-pressure steam, high-pressure nitrogen gas or the like of kgf / cm 2 , and the product tire is formed with a predetermined outer contour.

る。[0003] At this time, when air is trapped (trapped) between the inner surface of the mold and the tire to be vulcanized, the air trap portion is formed on the outer surface of the product tire after vulcanization and molding, which is generally called a bear. It is a well-known fact that a defective appearance portion that is not in contact with the inner surface is formed.

ラップされたエアーを金型外部に排出する。In order to prevent the occurrence of this defect, the mold is provided with a large number of vent holes for letting out the trapped air, and if the defect of the bear still does not improve, a vent groove connecting between the vent holes is cut. Is also well known. Of course, the vent hole penetrates the mold and discharges trapped air to the outside of the mold.

程良く、無いにこしたことはない。[0005] However, while the vent hole is also an escape route for trapped air, it is inevitable that the rubber having increased fluidity of the unvulcanized tire during vulcanization molding also flows into the vent hole. The rubber that flows into the product tires forms elongated rubber projections called spews when the tires are manufactured. This type of spew has nothing to do with tire performance and rather impairs the appearance of the tire and must be cut off during the finishing process. Therefore, the vent hole is said to be a necessary evil, and the smaller the number, the better, the better.

る。Therefore, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 62-21906 proposes a method of molding a pneumatic tire in which no spew exists in vulcanization molding using a mold in which a mold is divided into two and an upper and lower mold. The contents are that a sealing mechanism is provided around each of the upper and lower mold dies, and before each mold is completely closed, a closed space is formed between the upper and lower molds containing the unvulcanized tire. A 10 to 100 kPa fluid is supplied into the internal bladder of the unvulcanized tire to perform preforming, and the unvulcanized tire is placed on top of a tread pattern forming rib protruding from the inner surface of the upper and lower molds while approaching the upper and lower molds. By bringing the surfaces into contact with each other and reducing the pressure in the closed space to 1 / 13H or less of the internal pressure of the bladder (H is rib height mm) or less until the shoulder-side space of the contact portion is sealed by this contact, Departure To stop life.

Before the vulcanizer is fully closed, the inside of the dome must be temporarily stopped to vacuum the dome, and it is necessary to provide a new sealing mechanism for all necessary vulcanizers. However, since the outer dimensions of the dome itself are extremely large, this type of sealing mechanism involves technical difficulties and requires a large capital investment when the number of vulcanizing machines is large. In addition, although vacuum of only a small space between the mold having the closed space and the unvulcanized tire is sufficient, vacuum must be performed over the entire large space inside the dome, and the vacuum efficiency is extremely poor.

存在することが分かった。In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, an attempt was made to provide a sealing mechanism for the container, assuming that a container which wraps a half-cut upper and lower die is used and the die contained in the container is applied to a dome type vulcanizer. . It has been found that the structure of this type of seal mechanism is simple and can achieve high accuracy, and that the purpose can be achieved in terms of eliminating spews and reducing the number of spews, but the cost of preparing containers further increases. Not a little, eventually, the cost of the mold rises, and in terms of performance, since a vacuum layer is formed between the container and the mold, the heat source in the dome, for example, the heat of steam is difficult to transfer to the mold. However, it was found that there was a problem with lack of reality that the vulcanization molding time had to be greatly extended.

Unvulcanized tire for a predetermined time, for example, for 2 to 10 minutes,
The shaping is performed by contact pressing. At this time, since only a very small amount of air exists between the inner surface of the mold 1 and the outer surface of the unvulcanized tire, there is no possibility that the air is trapped, and no bear failure occurs. The appropriate internal pressure for shaping the pressurized body is in the range of 5 to 30 kgf / cm 2 .

Since the closed space formed between the inner surface of the tire and the outer surface of the unvulcanized tire is only a very small volume space, the exhaust efficiency is high and the degree of vacuum in the closed space can be increased. The time required is extremely short, and the spew does not exist at all, or the number of spews, if any, is very limited, without significantly impairing the productivity of the vulcanization molding process. Thus, the occurrence of a bear failure can be completely prevented, and the failure rate due to the bear can be significantly reduced, and the appearance of the tire can be achieved.

とができる。In particular, in the case of a tire using a foamed rubber as the outer rubber of the tread rubber of the tire, for example, a tire for an agricultural machine, the foamed rubber at a high temperature immediately after vulcanization molding has a low tensile strength and is taken out of the mold. At this time, the spew is cut off in the middle, and the remaining spew portion stops inside the vent hole and causes clogging. Therefore, there are many vent holes that do not serve as an air escape during the subsequent tire vulcanization molding, so that troubles in which bears occur in many places per tire frequently occur. According to the vulcanization molding method described above using the vulcanizer 20 to which the mold 1 is attached, this kind of trouble can be eradicated.

する。Further, not only the mold 1 but also the vulcanizer 20 does not need to be subjected to a large-scale processing or to add new equipment or expensive parts. Sufficiently, it is only necessary to attach the exhaust tube 26 and the joint connected to the vacuum means. Since the exhaust efficiency is extremely high even in the case of the vacuum means, there is a great advantage that an extremely small investment is required as a whole.
