[Previous technology] When the tire vulcanizer matches the center axes with each other, it is expected that the green tire and the center shaft can be set concentrically when the green tire is stored in the upper mold and the lower mold of the clamping mold and vulcanized. And vulcanization so that vulcanization molding can be performed uniformly to obtain a high-quality vulcanized tire. Therefore, in the prior art, for example, as shown in FIG. 7, after the upper mold 5 1 and the lower mold 5 2 are opened, the green tire 53 is held by the chuck portion 5 4 of the loading mechanism 55 and the chuck is made. The portion 54 is moved horizontally to carry the green tire 5 3 between the two metal molds 5 1 · 5 2. Then, the chuck portion 54 is lowered, and the guide rod 5 7 is inserted through the insertion hole 5 6 provided on the root side of the chuck portion 54, and is set so that the green tire 5 3 and the lower mold 5 are positioned while being positioned. The central axis of 2 forms a concentric arrangement. After that, the green tire 5 3 is formed by the center mechanism, and the chuck portion 53 is retracted from the metal mold 5 1 · 5 2, and then the two metal molds 5 1 · 5 are lowered by the lower metal mold 5 1. The central axes of 2 are clamped in unison with each other, and vulcanized with respect to the green tire 5 3 in the mold 51 · 52 (see, for example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 7-4012). However, in the above-mentioned prior art device, when the positional relationship between the insertion hole 56 and the guide rod 57 is changed, or when the installation state (axial direction) of the guide rod 57 is changed, the green tire 53 is moved relative to the center axis. It is positioned in a state with errors, but at this time, because the insertion hole 5 6 and the guide rod 5 7 provided on the central axis iiL of the lower metal mold 5 2 are used to indirectly position the raw pan relative to the center The axis is positioned concentrically, so it is difficult for the operator to inject a positioning error. As a result, incomplete vulcanization molding may be performed for a plurality of raw cars. In addition, when assembling or overhauling the tire vulcanizing machine, it is necessary to adjust the rod 57 in parallel with the central axis, and to adjust the position of the rod 57 and the insertion hole 56 in a concentric position. As a result, problems arise in that the assembly or operation of the tire vulcanizer is difficult, and a long operation time is required. [Summary of the Invention] Accordingly, the present invention provides a tire vulcanizer that can easily confirm positioning errors and can easily eliminate positioning errors. In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention is a tire vulcanizing machine for adding green tires, comprising: accommodating green tires and clamping molds; the aforementioned metal molds are composed of an upper metal mold and a lower metal mold; By moving the chuck portion, loading the upper metal mold and the lower metal mold in a state in which the green tire is moved, the loading mechanism can be seated on the metal mold; On the die side, a concentric fitting member concentric with the central axis of the lower metal mold; and a guide rod provided concentrically with the held green tire on the card; The front end portion is fitted with the fitting member. According to the above configuration, for example, when the regular tire 5j of the main body of the vulcanizing machine is intended to produce I tires 5 3, it is confirmed that the metal holding wheel that is formed and sulfur is formed into the mold opening mechanism during the inspection and repair, the sulfur machine When the disk part of the configuration is installed, during front inspection -5- 1233876 (3), etc., it can be checked at the same time when checking whether the axis of the guide rod and the fitting member and the central axis are concentric. Positional relationship, so inspection can be performed easily. As a result, it is easy for the operator to notice the occurrence of positioning errors, and it is possible to sufficiently prevent the formation of sulfur with insufficient quality. Also, when assembling a tire vulcanizer, the guide rod and the insert member can be adjusted to form concentricity on the central axis, and the adjustment of the positional relationship between the guide rod and the fitting member can be ended at the same time, so the assembly operation can be easily performed. In addition, in the present invention, the tire vulcanizing machine having the above-mentioned configuration further includes a central pillar that can be raised and lowered freely, and the fitting member is provided on an upper end surface of the central pillar; A guide rod support mechanism that supports the guide rod in a forward and backward direction. Therefore, the center axis of the tire and the mold can be easily and surely made the same.

Thereby, also in the tire vulcanizer of the airbag type equipped with the airbag, the tire and the center axis of the mold can be easily and surely concentric. The guide rod support mechanism may use a cylinder rod as a cylinder device for the guide rod. Thereby, the guide rod support mechanism and the guide rod can be formed with a very simple structure. Alternatively, the guide rod supporting mechanism is provided with a brake mechanism capable of stopping the guide rod at a predetermined position. In this way, it is possible to perform the function of maintaining the fitted state in the same manner as when the guide rod support mechanism is constituted by the cylinder device. (6) 1233876 (4) The function of maintaining the fitted state can be exerted. The overall height of the vulcanizer is kept low. Alternatively, the aforementioned guide rod support mechanism may have a force applying mechanism for applying force to the guide die as described below. This makes it possible to realize the function of maintaining the fitted state without requiring mechanical components of the power source. [Embodiment] [Embodiment 1] Hereinafter, a first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Figs. 1 and 2. As shown in FIG. 1, the tire vulcanizing machine of this embodiment includes a vulcanizing machine main body 1 for vulcanizing and shaping a green tire 5, a vulcanizing machine main body 1 _ a loading device 2 for a raw tire 5, and a carry-out Unillustrated unloader for vulcanized tire. The vulcanizer main body 1 includes a mold fixing portion 3 provided on the bottom soil, and a mold lifting portion 4 ° which is raised and lowered with respect to the mold fixing portion 3. The mold fixing portion 3 includes a lower side wall of the raw tire 5. A lower metal mold 6 that abuts against each other; a lower heating mechanism (not shown) that heats the lower metal mold 6 to a predetermined temperature; and a central mechanism 7 that penetrates the central portion of the lower heating mechanism and the lower metal mold 6. The above-mentioned center mechanism 7 includes a lower ring mechanism (not shown) fixed to the lower mold 6. The lower ring mechanism is formed to be in contact with the lower bead portion of the green tire 5, and a lower edge portion that sandwiches the airbag 8 is formed. The lower ring mechanism is connected to a pressurized heating medium (not shown) for supplying a pressurized heating medium such as steam or nitrogen (1233876). (5) The heating medium supply device supplies the pressurized heating medium from the device to the airbag 8. The center column 9 is erected on the center portion of the above-mentioned lower ring mechanism so as to slide freely in the vertical direction in an air-tight state. The upper end of the center pillar 9 is provided with an upper ring 10. The upper ring 10 holds the upper edge portion of the airbag 8. Further, a fitting member 12 is provided on the upper end surface of the center pillar 9. Fitting member! 2 A fitting recessed portion 12a is provided at the upper end portion, and the fitting recessed portion 12a and the fitting member 12 are set concentrically with the central axis of the lower die 6. Further, a column lifting mechanism (not shown) capable of lifting and lowering the center pillar 9 to an arbitrary height position is connected to the lower end portion of the center pillar 9. The column lifting mechanism raises the center pillar 9 to the upper limit position when the green tire 5 is carried in or added, and when the sulfur-tired tire is carried out, lifts the upper edge portion of the airbag 8, and sets the airbag 8 smaller than the tire hole of the green tire 5. On the other hand, when the green tire 5 is vulcanized and formed, the airbag 8 is inserted into the green tire 5 so that the center pillar 9 can be lowered and enlarged so as to abut the diameter of the inner wall surface of the tire. When the airbag 8 expanded and contracted by using the above-mentioned center pillar 9 is used in the vulcanization molding of the green tire 5, the inner wall surface of the tire is pushed toward the mold by supplying a pressurized heating medium. Made of ductile material. In addition, a metal lifting part 4 and an upper metal mold 11 are provided above the center pillar 9. The upper mold 11 is in contact with the upper side wall of the green tire 5 and the like, and is provided with a mold lifting mechanism (not shown) for lifting and lowering the mold lifting portion 4. A loader 2 is provided on the side of the main body of the vulcanizer constructed as described above. The loading device 2 includes a lifting mechanism such as a vertical frame 2 1 that is parallel to the central axis and is vertical to the bottom surface 1233876 (6), and that is vertically guided along the vertical frame 21 1; and The vertical frame 21 is a turning mechanism in which the turning center is turned in the horizontal direction. The elevating mechanism and the turning mechanism support the base end portion of the arm member 22 so that the arm member 22 can be raised and lowered in the vertical direction and rotated in the horizontal direction. A chuck mechanism 23 is provided at a front end portion of the arm member 22 described above. The chuck mechanism 23 includes a chuck support plate 24 arranged horizontally, and a plurality of claw members 25 provided below the chuck support plate 24. The chuck support plate 24 has a through hole 24a formed when the chuck mechanism 23 is carried into the mold 6 · 11, and the center point coincides with the center axis. The above-mentioned claw members 25 are arranged around the through-holes 2 4 a at regular intervals. The claw members 2 5 can freely move forward and backward in a diameter direction with respect to a center point (center axis). When the claw members 25 are set to move in the direction of the center point (central axis.), The diameter connected by the front end portion of the claw members 25 is reduced to be smaller than the diameter of the green tire 5. When the claw members 25 are moved in the opposite direction, the claw members The diameter connected to the front end portion of 25 is larger than that of the green tire 5. Thereby, the chuck mechanism 23 can hold the green tire 5 detachably by the movement of the claw member 25. In addition, the upper surface of the chuck support plate 24 is provided with a bracket 26 that spans the through hole 24a. The bracket 26 supports the cylinder device 27 which operates by air. The cylinder device 27 is provided with a cylinder rod serving as a guide rod 28 facing downward. When the guide rod 2 8 penetrates the through hole 2 4 a and the setting chuck mechanism 2 3 is carried into the metal mold 6 · 1 1, the axis is concentric with respect to the center axis. With the installation of the cylinder body, the mold opening stroke of the upper and lower molds is increased. Although the height of the vulcanizing-9-1233876 (7) machine is increased, it can be used to reduce the degree of the cylinder device 27. Telescopic cylinder. In addition, the height of the bracket 26 is set so that the chuck mechanism 23 is lowered and the green tire 5 is mounted on the lower mold 6. The bracket 26 does not interfere with the center mechanism. That is, the height setting of the bracket 26 described above is longer than the total length of raising the upper limit position to reduce the length of the center pillar 9 of the airbag 8 and the protruding length of the guide rod 28 in the state of being pulled into the cylinder device 27. In addition, the pushing force (lowering force) of the guide rod 28 obtained by the cylinder device 27 is set to be sufficiently small relative to the lifting force of the loading device 2 and the center column .9 so that the chuck mechanism 23 is lowered or centered. When the column 9 is lowered, the state where the front end portion of the guide rod 28 is fitted in the fitting recessed portion 12a can be maintained. In addition, when the green tire 5 is mounted on the lower mold 6, a claw member having a sufficient length may be used so that the center pillar 9 and the chuck mechanism 23 are not involved, and the bracket 26 may not be used. In the above configuration, the operation of the tire vulcanizer will be described below. First, by raising the mold lifting portion 4, the mold lifting portion 4 is positioned above the mold fixing portion 3. Thereby, the lower metal mold 6 and the upper metal mold Π are opened. Thereafter, the unvulcanized green tire 5 existing in the standby position is held by the chuck mechanism 23 of the loading device 2, and the green tire 5 is carried into the metal mold 6 · 1 1 by lifting and turning of the chuck mechanism 2 3 between. As shown in FIG. 2 (a), the tire hole of the green tire 5 is positioned above the center pillar 9, the center pillar 9 of the center mechanism 7 is raised, and the upper edge portion of the airbag 8 is raised through the upper ring 10 to make the airbag The inner diameter of 8 is smaller than that of the raw wheel-10- 1233876 (8) The tire hole of tire 5 is smaller. In addition, on the chuck mechanism 23 side, the guide rods 28 are moved in and out of the cylinder unit 27 by the maximum stroke amount. In order to place the green tire 5 on the T die 6, the green tire 5 and the chuck mechanism 23 are simultaneously lowered. Therefore, first, the center pillar 9 and the airbag 8 are inserted into the tire hole of the green tire 5. In the middle of this insertion, the front end portion of the guide rod 28 is fitted into the fitting recessed portion 12 a of the fitting member 12. At this time, the guide rod 28 and the fitting member 1 2 (the coupling recess 1 2 a) coincide on the central axis. Therefore, when the guide rod 2 8 is fitted on the fitting recessed portion 12 a, the centering can be forcibly centered so that the chuck mechanism 23 and the green tire 5 held by the chuck mechanism 2 3 are aligned on the central axis. Further, the pushing-out force (lowering force) of the guide rod 28 obtained by the cylinder device 27 is set to be sufficiently small with respect to the lifting force of the loading device 2 and the center column 9. Thereby, as shown in FIG. 2 (b), the chuck mechanism 2 3 obtained by the loading device 2 continues. When the ground F is lowered, the guide rod 28 is subjected to the counterforce of the center column 9 and is maintained by the guide rod 2 8-side. In the state of being fitted in the fitting recess 2a, the green tire 5 is placed on the lower mold 6 while retreating toward the inside of the cylinder device 27. In this way, the green tire 5 is aligned so that it can be constantly concentric with respect to the central axis during the process until it is mounted to the lower mold 6 by the loading device 2. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 2 (c), in order to deploy the airbag 8 along the inner wall surface of the green tire 5, the center pillar 9 is lowered. At this time, since the guide rod 28 is given a pushing force (lowering force) by the cylinder device 27, it is synchronized with the lowering of the center column 9 and the lowering is performed to maintain the fitting state with the fitting recess 12a. Thereafter, the low-pressure pressurized heating medium is supplied into the airbag, and the so-called molded green tire 5 is formed and held, and the lower mold -11-1233876 0) 6 is installed. As a result, the green tire 5 is lowered at the center post 9 after being mounted on the lower metal mold 6, and during the molding process, it is also centered so as to form concentricity with respect to the center axis. In addition, during the production operation, even if the loading device is eccentric with respect to the center column, the green tire 5 can be reliably centered with respect to the center axis to form concentricity, so that a defective tire is not produced.

Thereby, the green tire 5 can be accurately set in the mold 6 · 11 in a state concentric with the central axis, so that a high-quality green tire 5 can be obtained. In addition, when the vulcanized green tire 5 obtained as described above is used, the metal mold 6 · 1 1 is opened by the operation opposite to the above operation to reduce the airbag 8, and the unloader device is used to hold the green tire 5 and transport it to the outside. . Thereafter, a new green tire 5 is carried in and vulcanization molding is repeated. In addition, during periodic maintenance of the main body 1 of the vulcanizer, etc., it is possible to check the guide rod 28 and the fitting member 1 at the same time when confirming whether the axis and center axis of the guide rod 28 and the fitting member 12 are concentric. 2 positional relationship, so inspection can be easily performed. In addition, when assembling a tire vulcanizer, as long as the delta guide 28 and the bullying member] 2 are concentric with the central axis, the positional relationship between the guide 28 and the fitting member 12 can be completed at the same time. The adjustment allows easy assembly work. -12- 1233876 (10) [Embodiment 2] Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Figs. 3 to 5 as follows. The same reference numerals are given to the same members as those in the first embodiment, and descriptions thereof are omitted. As shown in Fig. 3, the tire vulcanizing machine of the present embodiment includes a vulcanizing machine main body 1 for vulcanizing a green tire 5 and a loading device 2 for carrying the green tire 5 into the vulcanizing machine main body 1. The vulcanizer main body 1 includes a mold fixing portion 3 having a center mechanism 7. The center pillar 9 is provided on the center of the center mechanism 7 so as to be freely slidable in the up-down direction in an airtight state. The upper end surface of the center pillar 9 is provided with a fitting member 31. The fitting member 3 1 is provided with a fitting recess 3 1 a at the upper end portion, and the fitting recess 3 1 a and the fitting member 31 are set to be concentric with the central axis of the lower metal mold 6. The bottom surface of the fitting recess 3 1 a is formed in a reverse conical shape, and the top is aligned with the central axis. The fitting member 31 is formed of a magnetic material such as iron as a main component. In addition, a guide rod 30 that coincides with the central axis is provided above the fitting member 31. The guide bar 30 forms a front end 3 Ob having a conical inclined side 30a. Thereby, when the guide rod 30 is fitted into the fitting recessed portion 3 1 a of the fitting member 31, even if there is a slight error in the horizontal direction, it can be forced along the inclined side 3 0 a of the front end portion 3 0 b. Ground is fitted to the fitting recess 3 1 a. In addition, an electromagnet is embedded in the front end portion 3 Ob of the guide rod 30, and the electromagnet can be switched between the generation and the stop of the magnet by switching of a switch (not shown). §Haiden Fe iron, when the front end portion 3 Q b of the guide rod 30 is fitted into the fitting recessed portion 12 a, generates magnetism and firmly joins the front end portion 30b to the fitting recessed portion 12a. On the other hand, a stop -13-1233876 (11) a stop 3 0 c is formed at the rear end (upper end) of the guide 30, which has a larger diameter than the guide 30 Trail. The above-mentioned guide rod 30 is supported by a guide rod support mechanism 36 provided on the bracket 26. The guide rod support mechanism 36 supports the guide rod 30 in a freely advancing and retreating manner as the center pillar 9 descends. In addition, the guide rod support mechanism 36 is formed so as to be in contact with the stop portion 30c of the guide rod 30. Therefore, the lower limit 値 of the guide rod 30 relative to the chuck mechanism 23 can be set. In addition, the guide support mechanism 36 is provided with a brake mechanism 32 that can stop the guide 30 by a braking force at a predetermined position. As shown in FIG. 4, the brake mechanism 32 includes brake members 3 3 · 3 3 which are symmetrically arranged about the guide rod 30 as a center; and is provided between the brake members 3 3 · 3 3 to apply a force to the brake The members 3 3, 3 3 are separated from the spring members 34 · 3 4 of the guide rod 30; and the brake cylinder devices 3 5 · 3 5 which allow each brake member 3 3 · 3 3 to move forward and backward freely in the direction of the guide rod 30. The above-described brake cylinder device 3 5 · 3 5 is connected to a control device including a pneumatic circuit or a hydraulic circuit (not shown). The control device cooperates with the operation of the loading device 2 or the vulcanizer body 1 to generate a braking force during the period when the chuck mechanism .2 3 is lowered and the guide rod 30 is fitted in the fitting recess 3 1 a to form a fitting. After the state, the green tire 5 is mounted until the lower mold 6 lowers the center pillar 9 and the braking force is released. The other structures are the same as those of the first embodiment. In the above configuration, the operation of the tire vulcanizer will be described below. As shown in FIG. 5 (a), as in the first embodiment, when the green tire 5 is carried in between the molds 6 after the mold is opened, the center of the center mechanism 7 -14-1233876 (12) is used. The rise of the pillar 9 raises the upper edge portion of the airbag 8 through the upper ring 10, and the diameter of the small airbag 8 is smaller than the tire hole of the green tire 5. In addition, on the chuck mechanism 23 side, a braking force is generated on the brake mechanism 32 of the guide support mechanism 36, and the guide 30 is fixed downward. In order to place the green tire 5 on the lower mold 6, the green tire 5 and the chuck mechanism 2 3 are lowered simultaneously. Accordingly, first, the center pillar 9 and the airbag 8 are inserted into the tire hole of the green tire 5. In the middle of this insertion, as shown in FIG. 5 (b), the front end portion 30b of the guide rod 30 is fitted into the fitting recessed portion 31a of the fitting member 31. At this time, the guide rod 30 and the fitting member 31 (the fitting recessed portion 3 丨 a) are aligned on the central axis. Therefore, when the guide bar 30 is fitted in the fitting recessed portion 31a, the chuck mechanism 23 and the green tire 5 held by the chuck mechanism 23 can be aligned on the central axis. In addition, even when the guide rod 30 is slightly offset from the central axis due to a positioning error of the chuck mechanism 23, it is still possible to form a front end of the guide rod 30 while forming a tapered inclined side surface 30a. The guide rod 3Ό is fixed by the brake mechanism 32, and the front end portion 3b is slid into the fitting recess portion 3a. When the guide rod 30 is fitted in the fitting recess 3a, the lowering of the chuck mechanism 23 is stopped once. Then, the braking force of the brake mechanism 32 is released, and the guide rod 30 is supported so as to be freely movable in the vertical direction. In addition, by the operation of the electromagnet embedded in the front end portion 30b of the guide rod 30, the front end portion 30b is attracted to the fitting recessed portion 12a of the fitting member 12 to form a firm fitting state. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 5 (c), the loading device 2 is started to lower the chuck mechanism 23 again. As a result, the guide rod 3 Q receives a counter- 15, 1233876 (13) force from the center column 9 and only the chuck mechanism 2 3 descends while maintaining the state where the guide rod 30 is fitted in the fitting recess 3 1 a. The green tire 5 is placed on the lower metal mold 6. Thereby, the green tire 5 is centered so that it can be formed concentrically with respect to the central axis during the process until the green tire 5 is mounted on the lower mold 6 by the loading device 2. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 5 (d), in order to deploy the airbag 8 along the inner wall surface of the green tire 5, the center pillar 9 is lowered. At this time, since the guide rod 30 is supported in the up-and-down direction so as to be freely movable, it is lowered in synchronization with the lowering of the center pillar 9 by its own weight to maintain the fitting state with the fitting recess 12a. In addition, a state in which the fitting force is maintained by the magnetic force is generated, and even if the center pillar 9 is lowered at a high speed and only the weight of the guide rod 30 is slowed down, the fitted state can be maintained surely. As a result, after the green tire 5 is mounted on the lower metal mold 6, the center pillar 9 is lowered so that during the molding process, centering is performed so that it is always concentric with respect to the center axis. As described above, when the mounting of the green tire 5 to the lower metal mold 6 is completed, the holding of the green tire 5 is released by the chuck mechanism 23. And only the chuck mechanism 2 3 rises and moves horizontally to the outside of the die 6 · n. Subsequent operations are the same as those of the first embodiment. [Embodiment 3] Next, the third embodiment of the present invention will be described in the following with reference to Fig. 6. In addition, the same symbols are assigned to the same components of the table 1, and descriptions thereof are omitted.

Loading device 2 of the main body 1. The main body of the vulcanizer] includes a mold fixing portion 3 having a center mechanism 7. The center column 9 is provided on the center portion of the center mechanism 7 so as to be freely slidable in the vertical direction in an air-tight state. A fitting member 41 is provided on the upper end surface of the center pillar 9. The fitting member 41 is provided with a fitting recessed portion 41a at the upper end, and the fitting recessed portion 41a and the fitting member 41 are set to be concentric with the central axis of the lower die 6. The bottom surface of the fitting recessed portion 4 1 a is formed in an inverse cone shape and the top portion coincides with the central axis. A guide bar 40 is provided above the fitting member 41 to coincide with the central axis. The front end portion 40b of the guide bar 40 forms an inclined side surface 40a having a conical shape. Accordingly, when the guide bar 40 is fitted into the fitting recessed portion 4 1 a of the fitting member 41, even if there is an error in the horizontal direction, the guide bar 40 can be forcibly fitted into the fitting along the inclined side surface 40 a of the front end portion 40 b. Close the concave portion 4 1 a. On the other hand, the rear end portion (upper end portion) of the 'guide bar 40 has a stopper portion 3c, and §30 stopper 3c is formed by a bracket 2 6 stopper. The above-mentioned guide bar 40 is supported by the bracket 26 and the urging mechanism 46 provided on the bracket 26 so as to be freely liftable. The urging mechanism 46 includes two support guide rods 45 and 45. The number of the support guide rods 45 may be one or three or more. The support guides 4 5 · 4 5 are arranged on the upper wall of the bracket 26 with a pair of left and right with the guide 40 as the center. Each support guide rod 45 is provided to be freely raised and lowered from the upper wall of the bracket 26, and the upper end portion can be stopped by the upper wall of the bracket 26. A support plate 44 is provided along the horizontal direction at the lower ends of the support guide rods 4 5 · 4 5. The support plate 44 is connected to the side of the guide bar 〇, and is raised and lowered simultaneously with the guide bar 〇. A spring member 4 3 · 4 3 is inserted between the support plate 4 4 and the upper surface of the bracket 2 6 -17- 1233876 (15). The support member 4 5 · 4 5 is inserted through the wall. The other configurations are the same as those of the first embodiment. In the above configuration, the operation of the tire vulcanizer will be described below. As in the first embodiment, when the green tire 5 is carried in between the molds 6 · 11 after the mold is opened, the upper edge of the airbag 8 is raised through the upper ring 10 by the rise of the center pillar 9 of the center mechanism 7. The airbag 8 is reduced to a smaller diameter than the tire hole of the green tire 5. In order to place the green tire 5 on the lower mold 6, the green tire 5 and the chuck mechanism 23 are lowered simultaneously. Accordingly, first, the center pillar 9 and the airbag 8 are inserted into the tire hole of the green tire 5. In the middle of this insertion, the front end portion 40b of the guide rod 40 is fitted into the fitting recessed portion 41a of the fitting member 41. At this time, the guide rod 40 and the fitting member 4 1 (the fitting recessed portion 4 1 a) are aligned on the central axis. Therefore, the centering of the chuck mechanism 23 and the green tire 5 held by the chuck mechanism 23 can be aligned on the central axis when the guide bar 40 is fitted into the fitting recess 41a. In addition, even if the guide rod 40 is slightly offset from the central axis due to a positioning error of the chuck mechanism 23, etc., the front end of the guide rod 40 is formed by the tapered inclined side surface 40a, and the When the guide bar 4 is biased downward by the biasing mechanism 46, the front end portion Ob can easily enter the fitting recessed portion 4a. Subsequently, when the chuck mechanism 23 of the loading device 2 is continuously lowered, the guide bar 40 receives a reaction force from the center post 9, thereby maintaining the state in which the guide bar 40 is fitted in the fitting recess 4 1 a. Only the chuck mechanism 23 is lowered, and the green tire 5 is placed on the lower metal mold 6. At this time, the guide bar 40 is maintained in a tightly fitted state due to the weight of the guide bar 40 and the urging force of the urging mechanism 46. Therefore, the green tire 5 can be centered so that it is always relative to the center during the mounting of the green tire -18-1233876 (16) on the mold 6 by the loading device 2. Thereafter, in order to lower the airbag 8 along the inner wall surface of the green tire 5, the center pillar 9 is lowered. At this time, since the guide bar 4 can move in the up-down direction, it is lowered in synchronism with the lowering of the center pillar 9 by its own weight to maintain the fitting state of the concave portion 12a. In addition, since the fitting force for maintaining the fitting state is generated by the urging force under the striker bar, even if the middle and high speed drops, and only the weight of the guide bar 40 slows down, the fitting state is reliably maintained. As a result, after the green tire 5 is mounted on the mold 6, the center pillar 9 is lowered, and the centering can be performed so that it is always concentric with respect to the center axis after the molding is completed. As described above, after the mounting of the green tire 6 to the lower die 6 is completed, the holding of the chuck mechanism 23 to the green tire 5 is released. In addition, only the card 2 3 is moved up and moved horizontally to move between the molds 6 · 1 1 and subsequent operations are the same as those of the first embodiment. As described above, the central axes of the tire vulcanizers of the first to third embodiments are aligned with each other, and while the tire 5 is received in the mold 6 · 1 1 that is being clamped, the tire 5 is molded and vulcanized. 2 3 (chuck section), horizontally move the chuck mechanism 2 3 and open the metal mold 6 · 1 1 after the green tire is opened, and the chuck mechanism 23 is lifted and the tire 5 is seated on the lower metal mold 6 Device 2 (structure); insert 1 2 · 3 1 · 4 1 arranged concentrically with the central axis on the lower die 6 side; and chuck mechanism 2 3 arranged centrally with the central axis when the mechanism 23 is lowered It is open with the fitting member 1 2 · 3] · 4]. The fitting mandrel can be freely held and inserted; 46 centripetal column 9 can still be in the metal process. When it is finished, the disk mechanism is outside. While moving the Rongsheng Roulette mechanism 5 into the lower part, the loader is assembled with the guide rod on the chuck -19-1233876 (17) 2 8 · 3 〇 · 40. This makes it possible, for example, to check whether the axis of the guide rods 28 · 30 · 40 and the fitting members 12 · 31 · 41 are concentric with each other during regular inspections of the main body 1 of the vulcanizing machine, so that the guides can be checked simultaneously. The positional relationship between the levers 2 8 · 3 0 · 4 0 and the fitting members 1 2 · 3 1 · 4 1 allows easy inspection work. As a result, it is easy for the operator to notice the occurrence of positioning errors, and it is possible to sufficiently prevent the vulcanization molding from being performed with insufficient quality. And when assembling the tire vulcanizer, the guide rod 2 8 · 3 0 · 4 0 and the embedded member 12 · 3 i · 4 1 can be adjusted to form a concentricity on the central axis, and the guide rod 2 8. 3 0 can be completed at the same time. The adjustment of the positional relationship between 40 and the fitting members 1 2 · 3 1 · 4 1 makes assembly work easy. In addition, the tire vulcanizer of this embodiment is provided with a center pillar 9 that can be raised and lowered, an airbag 8 that can be extended or contracted, and a center mechanism 7 that is fitted with a fitting member 12 · 3 1 · 41 on the upper end surface of the center pillar 9. And the structure of the guide rod support mechanism (cylinder device 2 7 · guide rod support mechanism 3 6 · force applying mechanism 46 · bracket 2 6) that can freely move the guide rod 28 · 30 · 40 as the center pillar 9 descends . Therefore, in the tire vulcanizer of the airbag type including the airbag 8, the center axis of the green tire 5 and the mold 6 · 1 1 can be easily concentric. In the present embodiment, the case of an airbag type tire vulcanizing machine having the airbag 8 has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and can also be applied to an airbag type tire vulcanizing machine. In addition, the fitting portion may be configured to be fixedly locked and released by a clamping device. In this embodiment, the front ends of the fitting guides 28 · 30 · 4 π are formed on the fitting recesses 12a · 31a · 41a of the fitting members 12 ·-20- to 3876 (18) 3 1 · 41 The structure of the part is used to describe the fitting of the guide rod 2 8 · 3 〇 · 4 〇 and the fitting member 1 〇 • 3 1 · 4 1, but it is not limited to this. 0 forms a fitting recess, and fits the fitting member] 2 · 3 1 · 4] if- and a fitting protrusion. In addition, in order to facilitate the fitting of the front end θ and the fitting recessed portion, the front end portion of the guide rod may not be formed in a conical shape, but may be an M curved surface, and a chamfer may be formed near the opening of the fitting recessed portion.

Therefore, the guide rod support mechanism and the guide rod 30 can be extremely simply constructed. In addition, since the height is set to a minimum, a telescopic sleeve cylinder can be used to reduce the overall height of the tire vulcanizer. In addition, in the second embodiment, the guide rod supporting mechanism includes a brake mechanism 32 capable of stopping the guide rod 30 at a predetermined position. This function can maintain the same fitting state as when the cylinder device 27 constitutes the guide rod support mechanism, and further, the height of the guide rod support mechanism can be suppressed to a minimum, and the overall height of the tire vulcanizer can be reduced. In addition, the brake mechanism 32 may be configured with a bayonet lock. In addition, in the third embodiment, the guide rod supporting mechanism has a structure having a urging mechanism 46 for urging the guide rod 40 toward the lower mold 6. In this way, all the mechanical components can be used to achieve the function of maintaining the fitting state. It can also guide the guide rod itself such as a guide sleeve to make it difficult to tilt the guide rod itself. A compression spring is provided as a biasing mechanism. According to the present invention, even when the loading device is eccentric to the central axis (central post) relative to -21-I233876 (19) during production operation, the green tire can be reliably concentrically formed with respect to the central axis, Can prevent the occurrence of bad tires. For example, during periodic maintenance of the main body of the vulcanizer, as long as the axes of the guide rod and the fitting member are aligned with the central axis, the positional relationship between the guide rod and the fitting member can be checked at the same time, so it can be easily checked. operation. As a result, it is easy for the operator to notice the occurrence of the positioning error, and it is possible to sufficiently prevent the vulcanization molding with insufficient quality. In addition, when assembling a tire vulcanizer, it is possible to adjust the positional relationship between the guide rod and the fitting member at the same time by simply adjusting the guide rod and the fitting member to be concentric with the central axis.
