Description

{Method for Curing Winter Tire}

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a winter tire vulcanization method, and more particularly, to a winter tire vulcanization method capable of improving the quality and productivity of a winter tire by reducing defects in the vulcanization process for the winter tire.

As is well known, the tire vulcanization process refers to a process of heating and pressing a green case inserted in a vulcanizing mold so as to have a finished tire shape having a predetermined pattern shape, and having tensile strength increased and elasticity property .

The tire vulcanization process is performed by supplying heat and pressure necessary for vulcanization to the green case, and the amount of heat required for vulcanization is composed of external heat and internal heat and pressure.

Here, the outside temperature is supplied from outside through a platen and a jacket which form the external shape of the vulcanizer, and the inside temperature and pressure are supplied through the heat source medium and the pressure medium supplied to the bladder installed inside the vulcanizer do.

Conventionally, the vulcanization method of a tire has been manufactured in such a manner that the temperature supplied through the platen and the jacket is kept constant, and adjusted according to the vulcanized heat source medium and the vulcanized step through the pressure medium.

Of conventional Thai vulcanization time vulcanization temperature for tire production for passenger, an external temperature is 170 ℃ ~ 190 when uniformly applied within ℃ range, the internal heat source medium 5kg / cm 2 ~ 14kg / cm 2 Supply 10 of the time vulcanization % To 30% of the total pressure, and 60 to 85% of the total pressure of the internal pressure medium at 15 kg / cm 2 to 30 kg / cm 2 .

However, although the supply of the internal heat source and the pressure medium is carried out simply through the bladder, its role plays an important role in changing the physical properties due to the vulcanization of the rubber, improving the adhesion between the semi-finished products,

The supply to the initial high pressure may lead to an excess of the molding length, which may lead to defective drawing, tread manipulation, or the like, which may lead to poor mounting due to wearing during rim installation. If the initial low- However, the green case can not be pushed to the mold, resulting in bare surface defects or poor appearance.

In particular, the rubber for winter tires has viscoelasticity at low temperatures so as to enable braking performance and driving at low temperature snow and ice due to its low glass transition temperature compared to all season tires due to its compound characteristics. However, There is a tendency that the tire can not be drawn out due to the long length of the tread portion when the vulcanizer is pulled out, or the tread portion is scratched and torn due to the molding. In addition, there is also a disadvantage in drawing due to an increase in the production amount of a pattern to which a 3D sieve newly made recently is applied.

Therefore, in the case of applying the same vulcanization step to the vulcanization step for a general tire according to the characteristics of the rubber for a winter tire, it causes a continuous failure, thereby lowering the quality and the production amount, thereby reducing the vulcanization process failure. Development is required.

Accordingly, in the vulcanizing process of the tire, the green case in the vulcanizer is drawn in, the supply of the internal medium is gradually supplied to the pressure medium after the supply of the heat source medium and the tire is vulcanized. Is completed.

As described above, the rubber for winter tires has viscoelasticity even at a low temperature so as to be capable of braking performance and driving in low-temperature snow and ice due to its low glass transition temperature as compared with all season tires due to its compound characteristics. There is a tendency that the tire can not be drawn out due to the long length of the tread portion due to the relatively long tread length during the vulcanizer withdrawal or the tread portion is scratched and torn by the tread portion.

Therefore, the winter tire vulcanization method of the present embodiment makes it possible to lower the rate of tire failure occurrence by more precisely adjusting the heat source medium step and the pressure medium supply step, which are supplied from inside the vulcanizer.

That is, a low-pressure heat source medium supply step of supplying the heat source medium in a relatively low-pressure state and a high-pressure heat source medium supply step of supplying the heat source medium in a relatively high-pressure state after the supply of the low- .

Here, the heat source medium is done using steam, comprising a saturated water vapor, less than the pressure of the low pressure steam used in the low-pressure ten won fluid supplying step is 5kgf / cm 2 to 14kgf / cm 2 range, using the high pressure ten won fluid supplying step The pressure of the high-pressure steam is in the range of 15 gf / cm 2 to 19 kgf / cm 2 .

In STEP 2, the supply of the low-pressure steam is stopped after the primary heat source medium supply step (STEP 1), and the steam supplied for 10 seconds is maintained.

In the secondary heat source medium supply step (STEP 3), low pressure steam of 10 kgf / cm 2 is supplied again for 10 seconds after the stop of the supply of the primary heat source medium (STEP 2).

In the second heat source medium supply stop step (STEP 4), the steam supply is stopped after the second heat source supply step (STEP 3), and the steam supplied for 10 seconds is maintained.

In this way, the low pressure ten won fluid supplying step, but the above-described first and second ten won fluid supplying step (STEP 1, STEP 3) a relatively low 5kgf / cm 2 to the low pressure supply to the low pressure steam of less than 14kgf / cm 2 range from The steam supply is adjusted in time so that the green case at room temperature receives a heat source in the vulcanizer so that the flow of the relative rubber is improved. After the supply of the first and second heat source media (STEP 1, STEP 3) (STEP 2, STEP 4) to prevent the rubber from adhering to the shape of the mold due to excessive temperature rise.

The high-pressure heat source medium supply step includes a third heat source medium supply step (STEP 5), a third heat source supply stop step (STEP 6), and a fourth heat source medium supply step (STEP 7).

Here, in the third heat source medium supply step (STEP 5), the high-pressure steam is supplied again at a pressure of 15 kgf / cm 2 for a period of 30 seconds after the step of stopping the supply of the secondary heat source medium (STEP 4).

In the step of stopping the supply of the third heat source medium (STEP 6), the supply of the high-pressure steam is stopped after the supply of the third heat source medium, and the steam supplied for 5 seconds or less is maintained.

In the fourth heat source medium supply step STEP 7, the high-pressure steam is supplied again at a pressure of 15 kgf / cm 2 for a period of not more than 90 seconds after the third heat source medium supply stop step (STEP 6).

Thus, the high-pressure ten won medium supply step is supplied to the steam within the tertiary and quaternary ten won fluid supplying step (STEP 5, STEP 7) a relatively high 15kgf / cm 2 to 19kgf / cm 2 range from the high-pressure normal So as to prevent the occurrence of uncrosslinked flow and to ensure that sufficient pressure is maintained between the interface between the semi-finished product and the interface so as to increase air removal and adhesion between the semi-manufactured products. In the third and fourth heat source supply steps (STEP 5, STEP 7) to stop the supply of tertiary heat source medium (STEP 6), thereby preventing the rubber from being stuck to the shape of the mold due to excessive temperature rise.

The pressure medium supply step is performed step by step through the low pressure medium supply step (STEP 8) and the high pressure medium supply step (STEP 9) as in the heat source medium supply step.

In this embodiment, nitrogen gas is used as the pressure medium, steam is used as the heat source medium, and the pressure of the nitrogen gas used in the low pressure medium supply step (STEP 8) is within the range of 15 kgf / cm 2 to 20 kgf / cm 2 is, the pressure of the nitrogen gas used in the high-pressure pressure fluid supplying step (sTEP 9) is 21kgf / cm 2 to 25kgf / cm 2 range .
