Next, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the base ring 31 of the automatic bead insertion unit 30 includes a bead holder unit 32 and a pair of bead insertion units 33a sandwiching the bead holder unit 32.

Bead holder unit mechanism 34 composed of 33b and 33b.
A plurality of (eight in this embodiment) are arranged.

In this embodiment, the bead insertion units 33a and 33b are arranged close to both sides of the bead holder units 32, but this is not particularly limited.

Further, in this embodiment, the base ring 31 is divided into a divided base ring 31a and a divided base ring 31b, and a metal fitting 35a is attached to the divided base ring 31a, and a metal fitting 35b is attached to the divided base ring 31b. ing. The metal fittings 35a and the metal fittings 35b are attached to the shaft 36.

Reference numeral 47 indicates an opening cylinder of the bead (ring) holder arm 41, and this output rond 47a is in contact with the arm base 42.

As a result, the bead (ring) holder arm 41 will not become larger than the preset size relative to the inner diameter of the bead B, but by selecting the output of the cylinder 47, the force exerted toward the center will exceed a certain level. When it receives a force of , it can swing toward the center, that is, it can become closed.

Furthermore, when the output of the cylinder 47 is removed, the tip of the bead (ring) holder arm 41 swings toward the center due to the elastic force of the compression spring 46, and the bead B is received from a suitable feeding device (see the figure). At the same time, the receiver can be reliably removed without being affected by the deformation of the bead B, and the deformation of the bead B can also be corrected by the output of the cylinder 47 after the receiver is removed.

Next, FIGS. 4 and 5 show a side view and a front view of the bead holder unit 32. A cylinder 48 is fixed to the base ring 31, and a base plate 49 is attached to the cylinder 48.
Arms 50a and 50b are symmetrically protruding from the upper part of.

A pin 51 is swingably attached to the arms 50a, 50b via a bearing or the like, and an L-shaped holder arm 52 is attached to the pin 51.

A space is provided in the L-shaped arm 52 at an appropriate position closer to the center than the pin 51, and the bearing 5 is inserted through the pin 53.
4 is rotatably attached. This bearing 5
4 and the cylinder 48 passing through the base plate 49
The tips of the output lots 48a are in contact with each other.

The holder arm 52 has an L-shape in this embodiment, and its tip 52a comes into contact with the side surface of the bead B supplied to the bead (ring) holder arm 41, and its center side The lower surface has an appropriate profile to prevent scratches when the arm 52 holds the bead B.

Further, a pin 55 and a bolt 56 are provided at the rear lower end of the arm 52.
A tension spring 57 is attached via.

With the above combination, when air pressure etc. are supplied to the cylinder 48, the output rod 48a pushes the bearing 54, but since the position of the pin 51 is fixed, the arm 52 swings around the pin 51. As shown in FIG. 6, the tip 52a moves to push in while pulling up the side surface of the bead B diagonally upward from the center side.

Next, the operation and operation when inserting the bead will be explained.

FIG. 7 (al) shows that when the bead holder unit 32 is activated and the upper bead B is held in the bead setting ring 18 by the holder arm 52, the bead holder arm 41 on the opposite side (lower side) is placed in the center. This shows a case where the person runs away to the side.

In FIG. 7(b), each of the bead holder units 32 is P, X+, Xz, YI, Yz, Z+.

Assuming that Zz, Q, the insertion operation is (P)-(X+
,Xz)→(YI,Y2)=(Z+,Zz)
- (Q)), the upper part of the bead (ring) B is first inserted into the bead setting ring 18 by the operation shown in FIG. However, once the bead is inserted into the bead setting ring 18, it cannot be removed or escaped, so the bead holder unit 32
When you have finished operating the bead setting ring 1,
It is inserted in 8.

In this way, due to the combination of the action of inserting the bead B diagonally upward from the center and the escape of the bead holder arm, the bead (ring) B may be deformed, or some parts of the bead cover B2 may be lapped. Therefore, even if the inner diameter changes, the bead B can be easily inserted, unlike the conventional case where the beads are pushed in parallel.

FIG. 8(a) shows a case where the part of the bead (ring) B having the ramp part of the bead cover B2 is first inserted into the bead setting ring 14, and then the opposite side is inserted in FIG. 8(bl). However, as shown later in FIGS. 9(a) and 9(bl), a force F is applied diagonally downward to the bead portion on the opposite side inserted by the bead holder arm 41. , the bead cover 82 inserted earlier
Since a downward force F1 is applied to the lap part of
The rubber sheet on the ramp section is compressed, allowing the bead section on the opposite side to be inserted.

FIG. 10(a) to FIG. 1θ(c) show the sequence of operations when automatically inserting only the bead (ring) B on the headstock side according to the present invention.

In FIG. 1, the bead holder unit 32 and the tail stock stand 11 are in a standby state.

In this state, when the bead B is supplied to the bead holder unit 32 by an appropriate bead supply device (not shown), the bead B is held by the cylinder 63 between the tailstock side main shaft 13 and the expandable/contractable forming drum 19. The holder unit 32 turns and lowers to a predetermined position (see FIG. 10(a)).

Thereafter, the cylinder 72 moves the bead setting ring 18 attached to the outer case 16 on the headstock 15 side past the forming drum 19, which has been reduced in diameter. Move towards 19 (1st
Figure O (see bl).

Thereafter, the distance between the bead setting ring 18 and the tip of the bead holder arm 41 of the bead holder unit 32 becomes a predetermined minute gap α (see FIG. 3), and the bead setting ring 18 and the bead holder unit 32
When the centers of the beads are aligned with each other by appropriate guide means, the bead press-fitting operation described above is performed. Thereafter, the base ring 31 is opened by the cylinder 38, as shown in FIG. After that, the cylinder 72 returns the bead holder unit 32 to the standby position.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the base ring 31 of the bead holder unit 32 is divided into two parts, and operates very rationally as described above. However, if the base ring 31 were not divided into two parts, In the state of bl, the diameter of the forming drum 19 is not expanded, but the diameter is contracted, and after the bead is inserted, it is returned to the position shown in FIG. , and then the tail stock stand 11 is set to ``exit'', but it is clear that this order of operation takes more time than when the base ring 31 is divided.

〔Effect of the invention〕

This invention is mounted on the tail stock stand as described above.
Installed an automatic bead insertion unit that can rotate and move forward and backward.
A bead holder unit that can be adjusted according to the inner diameter of the bead and swingable toward the center is disposed on the side surface of the base ring that constitutes this automatic bead insertion unit, and a bead holder unit that is sandwiched between the bead holder unit and A plurality of bead insertion units that rotate diagonally outward from the bead center are arranged at predetermined intervals, and the beads supplied to the bead holder unit are automatically inserted into the bead setting ring. As a result, the following excellent effects can be achieved.

By automatically inserting the fil bead ring, it is possible to reduce labor and improve productivity.

(2) Especially on the main body side, the bead is set by passing through the forming drum, so if the automatic step is advanced by mistake, an accident may occur where the operator's finger gets caught between the bead and the drum. , This device ensures worker safety.

(3) Even if the bead is deformed or the bead cover has a ramp portion and the inner diameter is uneven, it can be easily inserted.
