Abstract

DC60 (25/03/40) Turret for vehicle building systems with two drums and two drum axles mounted on the turret and adjustable. Therefore, the drum axes are offset and parallel to each other to create a compact turret assembly, minimizing weight and shaft length. The offset drum axes are arranged to position the drums at different working heights relative to the surface. Manual operation can be performed at the lower drum position, where there is easy access for the operator. A safety system is included to disconnect the motor and stop the turret rotation if the motor does not stop, thus protecting both the operator and the turret mechanism. Turret for vehicle building systems with two drums and two drum axles mounted on the turret and adjustable. Therefore, the drum axes are offset and parallel to each other to create a compact turret assembly, minimizing weight and shaft length. The offset drum axes... The design incorporates mechanisms to position the drum at various working heights relative to the surface. Manual operation is possible at the lower drum position, where easy access for the operator is provided. A safety system is included to disconnect the motor and stop the turret rotation if the motor fails, thus protecting both the operator and the turret mechanism.

Claims (10)

1. The vehicle tire manufacturing device consists of a turret with a master drum and a slave drum, a turret mounting frame, and a turret shaft that is rotatable and connected to the turret. The master drum is rotatable and mounted on the turret, rotating around its master axis on one side. The slave drum is rotatable and mounted on the turret, rotating around its slave axis on the other side. The turret energy path engages and rotates the turret shaft a specified angular distance. The vibration absorption path stops the turret's rotation after it exceeds this angular distance; the turret shaft is detached from the turret energy path after exceeding this distance. The vibration absorption path is positioned between the turret mounting frame and the turret shaft to engage the turret. This is achieved after the detachment of the turret shaft from the turret energy path in order to limit the movement of the turret. 2. The device as specified in claim 1, in which the energy path of the said turret consists of a semicircular gear of length equal to an angular distance of 180° and meshes with the worm gear of the drive motor mounted on such housing. 3. The device as specified in Claim 1, in which the vibration-absorbing trajectory shall have a rod mounted on such turret shaft, which extends radially from such shaft and meshes with a worm gear mounted on such frame. 4. Vehicle tire manufacturing device consisting of a turret with a master drum and a slave drum; a turret mounting frame; a turret shaft mounted rotatably on the frame and connected to the turret; the master drum is rotatably mounted on the turret to rotate around its master axis on one side of the turret; the slave drum is rotatably mounted on the turret to rotate around its slave axis, which is parallel and separate from the master axis, on the other side of the turret; the energy path of the master drum to rotate the master drum mounted on the turret; the energy path of the slave drum to rotate the slave drum mounted on the turret; the energy path of the turret to engage and rotate the turret shaft a specified angular distance and then release it from the turret shaft when that angular distance is exceeded; the vibration damping path to stop the rotation of the turret after exceeding the specified rotational distance. Due to the aforementioned angular distance, and the path of vibration absorption, it is positioned between the turret housing and the turret shaft to engage with the turret after the turret shaft is detached from the turret's energy path to limit the turret's movement. 5. The device as specified in claim paragraph 4, in which the turret consists of a turret plate mounted on the turret shaft and slave bearings mounted on the turret plate for the shaft of the slave drum connected to the slave drum, and master bearings mounted on the turret plate for the shaft of the master drum connected to the master drum, with the power path of the master drum connected to the shaft of the slave drum. 6. The device as specified in claim 5, in which the master bearing has a rim to engage with the support surface on the turret, and a master bearing adjuster threaded on the turret to push the master bearing into contact with the rim, and a slave bearing adjuster threaded on the slave bearing to adjust the position of the slave bearing, thus the axis of the master bearing is parallel to the axis of the slave bearing and corresponds around the axis of the turret shaft. 7. The device specified in claim paragraph 4, in which the power path of such turret consists of a semicircular gear of length equal to the angular distance of 180 degrees and meshes with the worm gear of the drive motor mounted on such housing. 8. The device as specified in claim paragraph 4, in which the vibration absorption pathway includes a rod mounted on the said turret shaft extending in a circular radius from the said shaft and meshing with a worm gear mounted on the said frame. 9. A vehicle tire manufacturing device consisting of a turret that rotates around its axis, a first drum protruding from one side of the turret and rotating around its first axis, and a second drum protruding from the second side of the turret and rotating around a second axis parallel to and separate from the first axis. The power path of the turret to rotate it a specified angular distance to push the first drum from position one at height one to position two at height two, and to push the second drum from position two to position one, so that access is provided to the first and second drums by an operator at height one to assemble the tire sections that are lower above the surface. The motion restriction path to stop the turret's rotation after it has rotated beyond a specified angular distance. The power path of the turret consists of a motor with a worm gear meshed with a semicircular gear. Mounted on the aforementioned turret and having a specified length, the semicircular gear can move out of its meshing with the worm gear after the turret has rotated beyond a specified angular distance. 10. Vehicle tire manufacturing equipment as specified in claim 9, where the means of limiting such movement is a vibration absorber.
