Definitions

  • the invention relates to a closing force unit for the treatment chamber of a tire vulcanization machine, having a base plate and at least one linear drive for the displacement of and exertion of force on a mold pressure plate.
  • the invention also relates to a tire vulcanization machine having a closing force unit of said type.
  • the production of a tire for example for vehicles such as automobiles, heavy goods vehicles or motorcycles, is an extremely complex process made up of a multiplicity of production and process steps.
  • a reason for this is the complex tire structure composed of a considerable number of different individual components.
  • said multiplicity of components must be connected to one another under the action of pressure and temperature, through so-called vulcanization.
  • the vulcanization process is likewise of significance with regard to the material and grip characteristics of the finished tire.
  • one of the main production steps for the production of tires is the vulcanization of green tires to form a finished tire.
  • the green tire is placed into a mold or tire mold which is situated within a tire vulcanization machine and which is subsequently heated to the material-dependent vulcanization temperature and charged with a vulcanization pressure at the inside of the green tire.
  • a suitable heating medium is introduced, with corresponding exposure to temperature and pressurization, into the interior space of the green tire.
  • the vulcanization basically has the aim of practically “baking” a green tire “into a finished state” by exposure to temperature and pressurization within one or more time intervals, that is to say connecting the components of the green tire to one another and imparting elastic characteristics to the base materials and to the rubber layer by cross-linking processes.
  • various additive substances adapted to the base material are also required for the cross-linking and possibly for accelerating the cross-linking.
  • the green tire To realize the quantity of heat energy and pressurization required for the vulcanization process, provision is alternatively or additionally made for the green tire to be subjected to pressure and/or action of temperature at the outside of the green tire in the vulcanization machine.
  • a treatment chamber which is referred to as tire mold and which can be opened and closed such that the green tire for vulcanization can be placed in, vulcanized and removed.
  • Particularly thick regions of the green tire are the treads.
  • the side walls are of relatively thin form. This considerable thickness difference arises owing to the additional tire components arranged in the region of the tread, such as steel belts, belt cover ply and the rubber layer which is considerably thicker than the side wall.
  • Said considerably thicker rubber layer has a greater wall thickness not least because it comprises the tire profile itself, which is produced during the vulcanization process.
  • the tread region, or the thick-walled rubber mass provided there must be heated to such an extent that it can plastically flow and can be pressed by the vulcanization pressure into the profile negative die of the green tire mold of the tire vulcanization machine.
  • the plastic flow capability increases over a broad range with increasing heating of the material, such that less pressing pressure is required to be able to reliably produce the profiling.
  • the treatment chamber that is to say the tire mold, must support and accommodate the pressing and pressure forces both in a radial direction and in an axial direction.
  • the movement devices for opening and closing the tire mold must normally not only impart the forces for moving at least one mold half but also be adequately dimensioned with regard to the closing forces during the tire vulcanization. Owing to the closing forces, which may reach several kN, use is normally made of high-pressure fluid cylinders in addition to mechanical solutions such as for example knee lever structures or spindles.
  • the height of at least one mold half is effected by means of at least two hydraulic cylinders.
  • the introduction of energy is realized by means of the pressurized liquid volume flow in a known manner by virtue of said pressurized liquid volume flow being introduced into the fluid cylinder through feed lines.
  • the fluid cylinders are configured as separate, installation-ready units and are normally purchased parts. Owing to the considerable longitudinal extent of installation-ready fluid cylinders, said components must be arranged within the machine bed and have an adverse effect on, that is to say increase, the structural height of the machine frame and the tire vulcanization machine as a whole.
  • the teaching of DE 10 2014 001 643 A1 combines the fluid cylinders for the adjustment of the height of the mold of a tire heating press with at least one guide element.
  • Said guide element is preferably mounted centrally with respect to the height-adjustable mold halves and/or centrally with respect to the fluid cylinder arrangement and designed for accommodating radial and axial forces. With the use of the at least one guide element, the radial forces are not introduced into the fluid cylinder, and damage, for example leaks, is/are prevented.
  • the guide element is furthermore equipped with a locking device.
  • Said locking device enables the entire structural element composed substantially of the fluid cylinders, the mold half and the guide element fixed to the mold half to be fixed in an axial-linear movement direction. It is achieved in this way that, after the fluid cylinders have adjusted the mold half into the desired height position and the locking device has been activated, the fluid cylinders can be switched into an unpressurized state. This means that the linear forces in an axial direction that act within the press during the tire production process, that is to say the closing forces themselves, are accommodated not by the fluid cylinders but by the guide element.
  • Another solution consists in the closing forces being accommodated not by a guide element but rather directly via the fluid cylinders, without the use of a guide element.
  • the fluid cylinders must be designed for the very high closing forces.
  • the occurring radial forces must be accommodated by the piston rods and piston-rod guides of the fluid cylinders.
  • Both design variants for realizing the accommodation of the closing forces are basically usable both in frame-type presses and in column-type presses or in tire vulcanization machines constructed on stands, but in any case require correspondingly adequate dimensioning.
  • the known closing force units have numerous disadvantages which may exist both individually and collectively.
  • fluid cylinders which can be purchased as installation-ready units are in themselves inexpensive, the outlay in terms of construction for integration into the tire vulcanization machine, and the resulting increased machine structural height, are however considerably expensive and elaborate.
  • a further problem may arise from the fact that the fluid cylinder structural units are generally accommodated within the machine bed.
  • the receiving bores, leadthrough openings and fastening means and partially required cutting-out of reinforcement ribs have the effect of reducing strength with regard to the overall structure, and can result in increased deformation of the load-bearing unit.
  • a problem addressed by the invention is that of providing a closing force unit for tire vulcanization machines which at least partially reduces the stated disadvantages and supports an inexpensive overall construction.
  • the teaching according to the invention proposes that at least one fluid cylinder is formed as an integral constituent part of the tire vulcanization mold and/or of the machine components.
  • the fluid cylinder composed of piston and possibly piston rod and cylinder housing is not introduced as a separate purchased part, with provision rather being made for a fluidic linear drive to be constructed integrally in the base plate of the tire vulcanization machine.
  • the integral design is realized by the invention through the direct utilization of the base plate as a cylinder housing.
  • bores are formed into the base plate in accordance with the required number of fluidic linear drives, which bores may, depending on the embodiment of the fluidic linear drive, be formed as passage bores and/or as blind bores.
  • fluidic linear drives which bores may, depending on the embodiment of the fluidic linear drive, be formed as passage bores and/or as blind bores.
  • the invention provides linear drives based on the plunger cylinder principle integrated into the base plate.
  • blind bores are provided in the base plate, which blind bores correspond in terms of their bore diameters to the respectively used piston and provide a clearance fit which supports linear mobility of the piston in the bore.
  • the pistons or blind bores may have sealed devices such as for example bushings, piston rings, stripper rings or Simmerrings in order to reduce the escape of fluid from the concentric ring-shaped movement gap between piston and blind bore.
  • the closing force unit with linear drives integrated into the base plate cost savings can be achieved which amount to up to 70% of the costs of similar solutions with separate linear drives in the form of purchased parts.
  • the plate thickness of said base plate be increased by up to 150%, such that a thickness of approximately 250 to 300 mm is realized.
  • FIG. 1 shows an exemplary embodiment of the closing force unit ( 1 ) according to the invention for tire vulcanization machines ( 200 ) in a perspective overall illustration of the tire vulcanization machine ( 200 ) with a partial section in the x-z plane,
  • FIG. 2 shows the perspective sectional illustration of the vulcanization chamber or of the tire mold ( 30 ) with closing force unit ( 1 ), and
  • FIG. 3 shows the perspective sectional illustration of the closing force unit ( 1 ) in a detail view.
  • FIG. 1 illustrates a tire vulcanization machine ( 200 ) with an exemplary embodiment of the closing force unit ( 1 ) according to the invention in a three-dimensional overall view.
  • the tire vulcanization machine ( 200 ) which is also referred to as tire heating press, is in this example constructed as a column-type press and, in its load-bearing overall construction, has a machine bed ( 100 ) with columns ( 110 ), a crossmember ( 80 ) and a base plate ( 10 ).
  • the closing force unit ( 1 ) may be integrated into the machine frame or, as in the case of the column-type construction shown in FIG. 1 , into a base plate ( 10 ). In this way, the closing force unit ( 1 ) according to the invention can be realized independently of the type of construction of the press and in any desired tire vulcanization machine ( 200 ).
  • a functional core element of the tire vulcanization machine ( 200 ) is the treatment chamber or the vulcanization chamber/tire mold ( 30 ), the spatial extent of which is delimited by the mold pressure plate ( 40 ) and by the mold counterpressure plate ( 60 ) and by a preferably cylindrical tension casing ( 50 ).
  • the tension casing ( 50 ) is assigned two further functional tasks: owing to the pressure forces within the vulcanization chamber ( 30 ) during the vulcanization of the green tire, the tension casing ( 50 ) accommodates the resultant (tensile) forces in an axial direction, and has an insulating action with regard to the vulcanization temperatures of up to 160 degrees Celsius, in some cases even higher, which prevail in the vulcanization chamber ( 30 ).
  • the mold pressure plate ( 40 ) can be linearly axially both displaced and also subjected to force, both being introduced into the mold pressure plate ( 40 ) by the closing force unit ( 1 ), such that a pressing force can be built up in the vulcanization chamber ( 30 ) and the volume thereof can be set.
  • the mold counterpressure plate ( 60 ) practically constitutes the counterbearing, with respect to the mold pressure plate ( 40 ), for the closing and pressing forces, wherein the tension casing ( 50 ) produces the force-transmitting connection between the plates ( 10 , 40 , 60 ).
  • the tension casing ( 50 ) is preferably fixed to the mold counterpressure plate ( 60 ) and axially movable as a common structural unit.
  • the mold counterpressure plate ( 60 ) is guided together with the tension casing ( 50 ), via a crossmember ( 80 ), by two columns ( 110 ).
  • the axial movement drive for the structural unit of mold counterpressure plate ( 60 ) with tension casing ( 50 ) is realized by means of two fluid cylinders ( 90 ) which produce an operative connection of crossmember ( 80 ) to machine bed ( 100 ) and which are preferably of double-acting form.
  • FIG. 2 shows, in a perspective sectional illustration, the region of the vulcanization chamber ( 30 ).
  • Essential constituent parts of the vulcanization chamber ( 30 ) are the mold pressure plate ( 40 ), the mold counterpressure plate ( 60 ) and the tension casing ( 50 ).
  • Optional adapter plates ( 70 ) may be provided for fixing tire mold halves to the mold pressure plate ( 40 ) and/or to the mold counterpressure plate ( 60 ).
  • the closing force unit ( 1 ) is positioned adjacent to the vulcanization chamber ( 30 ) such that both the closing force and the axially directed displacement travel can be introduced into the mold pressure plate ( 40 ).
  • the example shown in FIG. 2 realizes the positioning of the closing force unit ( 1 ) adjacent to the treatment chamber ( 30 ) by means of the concentric position vertically below the mold pressure plate ( 40 ).
  • passage regions ( 11 , 41 , 61 ) may be provided for the leadthrough of the mechanical components.
  • At least one piston ( 20 ) is arranged in the base plate ( 10 ) such that said piston, as an integrated linear drive ( 5 ), can displace and exert force on the mold pressure plate ( 40 ). It is particularly advantageous for multiple pistons ( 20 ) to be used in a manner distributed symmetrically or asymmetrically on the face side of the base plate ( 10 ). It is possible for four or more pistons ( 20 ) to be installed such that,
  • FIG. 3 shows the exemplary embodiment of the closing force unit ( 1 ) from FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 in a perspective sectional illustration.
  • the base plate ( 10 ) is equipped with each case one blind bore ( 12 ) for accommodating the piston ( 20 ).
  • the bore diameter realizes a clearance fit with the piston diameter, such that the piston ( 20 ) is displaceable in its axial direction in the blind bore ( 12 ) when a fluid, such as for example water or hydraulic oil, is introduced into the fluid chamber ( 13 ).
  • the fluid chamber ( 13 ) is defined and delimited at the base plate side by the blind bore base and by the bore wall, and the piston crown ( 21 ) as a displaceable element closes off the fluid chamber ( 13 ) with a thereby variable volume.
  • the piston receptacle in the base plate ( 10 ) may also be realized by a passage bore which is closed off on one side by a plate after the production process.
  • the fluid chamber ( 13 ) is defined and delimited by the plate and by the bore wall.
  • the invention provides at least one opening in the base plate ( 10 ), which opening is preferably formed as a bore at the blind hole base (not shown) and supports the connection to a fluid apparatus.
  • the at least one opening may be arranged on the bore wall or on the piston ( 20 ).
  • the closing forces that result from the contact pressures may, even in the case of fluid pressures in the low pressure range, be high enough that the fluidic linear drives ( 5 ) and fluid apparatuses do not have to be realized in the expensive high-pressure variants.
  • the piston construction may be realized optionally as a plunger-type piston or as a piston-piston rod unit.
  • the plunger-type piston is a prismatic, preferably cylindrical piston with a continuous shell without a shoulder.
  • the plunger-type piston has no piston rod, and the piston extends over the entire axial length and functionally also performs the task of the piston rod.
  • the plunger-type piston can be produced very easily and, together with the receiving bore in the base plate ( 10 ), forms a clearance fit gap which, owing to its very large meridian length, both has excellent sealing characteristics and guides the plunger-type piston in a very exact manner.
  • the piston structure of the piston-piston rod unit has a piston region ( 20 ′) and a piston rod region ( 20 ′′) with an interposed shoulder in the form of a concentric diameter step.
  • the diameter in the piston region ( 20 ′) is larger than the diameter in the piston rod region ( 20 ′′), such that only the meridian length of the piston region ( 20 ′) forms a clearance fit gap together with the receiving bore ( 12 ) in the base plate ( 10 ).
  • the linear drive ( 5 ) can be of double-acting design.
  • the invention provides at least one seal ( 14 ), assigned in each case to a linear drive ( 5 ) of the closing force unit ( 1 ).
  • the seal ( 14 ) may for example be an O-ring or a Simmerring.
  • a stripper ring ( 15 ) may be provided which interacts with the seal ( 14 ).
  • the positioning of the seal ( 14 ) and of the stripper ( 15 ) may be realized in a variety of configurations: in the example shown, a ring ( 16 ) is reversibly fixed to the base plate ( 10 ) at the piston outlet side of the bore ( 12 ) and is equipped, on the inside, with corresponding ring-shaped grooves for receiving the seal ( 14 ) and the stripper ( 15 ). If no ring ( 16 ) is used, the grooves, and thus the positioning of the seal ( 14 ) and the stripper ( 15 ), may be arranged for example within the bore ( 12 ) and/or in the piston side surface.
  • the ring ( 16 ) may optionally have further structural and functional features.
  • a collar may be formed thereon, which collar projects into the bore ( 12 ) and is formed as a bushing.
  • the ring ( 16 ) may functionally act as a stop with the shoulder of the piston ( 20 ) between the piston region ( 20 ′) and the piston rod region ( 20 ′′) and thereby limit the linear deployment movement of the piston ( 20 ).
  • the contact pressure that acts on the contact surfaces is relatively low, despite high closing forces that can be realized by the closing force unit ( 1 ).
  • the reduced contact pressure in said regions supports the use of temperature insulation elements ( 17 ) with low compressive strength characteristics. As a result, use may be made of insulation materials which are less expensive and/or exhibit improved insulation characteristics.
  • the temperature insulation elements ( 17 ) may, by means of different thicknesses, simultaneously be utilized for compensating shape and dimensional tolerances and thereby leveling height differences in the case of multiple linear drives ( 5 ) being used.
