Description

タイヤ製造装置及びタイヤ製造方法Tire manufacturing apparatus and tire manufacturing method
　本発明は、複数のタイヤ構成部材により生タイヤを成形するタイヤ製造装置及びタイヤ製造方法に関する。 The present invention relates to a tire manufacturing apparatus and a tire manufacturing method for forming a raw tire with a plurality of tire constituent members.
　タイヤの製造時には、複数のタイヤ構成部材により生タイヤが成形され、生タイヤが加硫されて、タイヤが製造される。また、複数のタイヤ構成部材は、一般に、ドラムに順に供給されて、ドラムの外周に巻き付けられる。これにより、複数のタイヤ構成部材が生タイヤの一部として互いに組み合わされて、生タイヤが成形される。 At the time of manufacturing a tire, a raw tire is formed by a plurality of tire constituent members, and the raw tire is vulcanized to manufacture a tire. In addition, the plurality of tire constituent members are generally supplied in order to the drum and wound around the outer periphery of the drum. Thereby, a some tire structural member is mutually combined as a part of green tire, and a green tire is shape | molded.
　図５は、従来のタイヤ製造装置を示す側面図であり、一般的なタイヤ製造装置の例を示している。
　図示のように、タイヤ製造装置１００は、円筒状のドラム１０１と、複数の供給装置１０２～１０４を備えている。複数の供給装置１０２～１０４は、ドラム１０１の周囲に配置され、それぞれタイヤ構成部材１０５～１０７をドラム１０１に供給する。タイヤ製造装置１００は、供給装置１０２～１０４からドラム１０１に供給するタイヤ構成部材１０５～１０７を切り替えて、複数のタイヤ構成部材１０５～１０７をドラム１０１の外周に順に巻き付ける。 FIG. 5 is a side view showing a conventional tire manufacturing apparatus and shows an example of a general tire manufacturing apparatus.
As illustrated, the tire manufacturing apparatus 100 includes a cylindrical drum 101 and a plurality of supply devices 102 to 104. The plurality of supply devices 102 to 104 are arranged around the drum 101 and supply the tire constituent members 105 to 107 to the drum 101, respectively. The tire manufacturing apparatus 100 switches the tire constituent members 105 to 107 supplied to the drum 101 from the supply devices 102 to 104, and winds a plurality of tire constituent members 105 to 107 around the outer periphery of the drum 101 in order.
　ところが、この従来のタイヤ製造装置１００では、タイヤ構成部材１０５～１０７の切り替えに時間を要し、生タイヤの成形時間が長くなる虞がある。また、複数の供給装置１０２～１０４は、互いに異なるタイミングでタイヤ構成部材１０５～１０７を供給し、タイヤ構成部材１０５～１０７の供給時を除いて待機する。そのため、複数の供給装置１０２～１０４の待機時間が長くなる傾向があり、生タイヤの成形効率を向上させるのが難しい。 However, in this conventional tire manufacturing apparatus 100, it takes time to switch the tire constituent members 105 to 107, and there is a possibility that the molding time of the raw tire becomes long. Further, the plurality of supply devices 102 to 104 supply the tire constituent members 105 to 107 at different timings and stand by except when the tire constituent members 105 to 107 are supplied. Therefore, the waiting time of the plurality of supply devices 102 to 104 tends to be long, and it is difficult to improve the green tire molding efficiency.
　これに対し、従来、複数のドラムをタイヤ構成部材の複数の供給位置に順に搬送して、複数の供給装置の待機時間を短縮するタイヤ製造システムが知られている（特許文献１参照）。
　しかしながら、特許文献１に記載された従来のタイヤ製造システムでは、ドラムを台車（ドラム駆動装置）に連結した状態で複数の供給位置に順に搬送し、複数のタイヤ構成部材をドラムの外周に順に巻き付ける。そのため、ドラムとドラム駆動装置の重量に応じて、ドラムとドラム駆動装置の搬送装置が大きく、又は、複雑になる虞がある。また、ドラムとドラム駆動装置の搬送経路を変更するのが難しく、タイヤ構成部材の増減やタイヤ構成部材の変更に容易に対応できないことがある。従って、生タイヤをより効率的に成形する観点から、改良の余地がある。 On the other hand, conventionally, a tire manufacturing system is known in which a plurality of drums are sequentially conveyed to a plurality of supply positions of a tire constituent member to shorten a standby time of the plurality of supply devices (see Patent Document 1).
However, in the conventional tire manufacturing system described in Patent Document 1, the drum is sequentially transported to a plurality of supply positions while being connected to a carriage (drum driving device), and a plurality of tire constituent members are wound around the outer periphery of the drum in order. . Therefore, depending on the weight of the drum and the drum driving device, the conveyance device for the drum and the drum driving device may be large or complicated. In addition, it is difficult to change the conveyance path between the drum and the drum driving device, and it may not be possible to easily cope with the increase / decrease of the tire constituent member and the change of the tire constituent member. Therefore, there is room for improvement from the viewpoint of more efficiently forming the green tire.

　以下、本発明のタイヤ製造装置及びタイヤ製造方法の一実施形態について、図面を参照して説明する。
　本実施形態のタイヤ製造装置及びタイヤ製造方法は、複数のタイヤ構成部材により生タイヤを成形してタイヤを製造する。タイヤ構成部材は、生タイヤの成形に用いられるゴム部材であり、ゴム（未加硫ゴム）のみにより形成され、又は、ゴムと他の部材（コード等）により形成される。タイヤ製造装置及びタイヤ製造方法は、ドラムにより、複数のタイヤ構成部材を順に組み合わせて、生タイヤを成形する。 Hereinafter, an embodiment of a tire manufacturing apparatus and a tire manufacturing method of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
The tire manufacturing apparatus and tire manufacturing method of this embodiment manufacture a tire by forming a raw tire using a plurality of tire constituent members. The tire constituent member is a rubber member used for molding a raw tire, and is formed only of rubber (unvulcanized rubber), or formed of rubber and another member (cord or the like). The tire manufacturing apparatus and the tire manufacturing method form a raw tire by sequentially combining a plurality of tire constituent members with a drum.
　図１は、本実施形態のタイヤ製造装置１の概略構成を示す平面図であり、タイヤ製造装置１内で移動するドラム２と搬送装置３を点線で示している。
　図示のように、タイヤ製造装置１は、ドラム２と、ドラム２を搬送する搬送装置３と、ドラム２を駆動する複数のドラム駆動装置４と、ドラム２を押さえる複数の押さえ装置５と、複数のタイヤ構成部材６の供給装置７と、制御装置８を備えている。制御装置８は、タイヤ製造装置１の全体を制御する制御手段であり、タイヤ製造装置１によるタイヤの製造動作（生タイヤの成形動作）を制御する。なお、ここでは、複数種類のタイヤ構成部材を総称してタイヤ構成部材６と表す。また、複数の供給装置７は、互いに異なるタイヤ構成部材６（タイヤ構成部材６Ａ～６Ｃ）を供給する。 FIG. 1 is a plan view showing a schematic configuration of a tire manufacturing apparatus 1 according to the present embodiment, in which a drum 2 and a conveying apparatus 3 that move within the tire manufacturing apparatus 1 are indicated by dotted lines.
As illustrated, the tire manufacturing apparatus 1 includes a drum 2, a transport device 3 that transports the drum 2, a plurality of drum drive devices 4 that drive the drum 2, a plurality of press devices 5 that press the drum 2, and a plurality of press devices 5. The tire component 6 supply device 7 and the control device 8 are provided. The control device 8 is a control unit that controls the entire tire manufacturing device 1 and controls a tire manufacturing operation (raw tire forming operation) by the tire manufacturing device 1. Here, a plurality of types of tire constituent members are collectively referred to as tire constituent members 6. The plurality of supply devices 7 supply different tire constituent members 6 (tire constituent members 6A to 6C).
　ドラム２は、生タイヤを成形する円筒状の成形ドラムであり、軸線を中心に回転する。ドラム２の軸線の方向（軸方向）は水平方向に配置され、ドラム２は水平な状態で搬送される。搬送装置３は、ドラム２を搬送する搬送手段であり、ドラム２を保持する保持部材３Ａと、移動装置３Ｂを有する。搬送装置３は、一対の保持部材３Ａによりドラム２の両端部を保持し、移動装置３Ｂにより移動して、タイヤ製造装置１内でドラム２を搬送する。搬送装置３により、ドラム２は、タイヤ構成部材６の複数の供給位置（図１では、３つの供給位置Ｐ１～Ｐ３）に順に搬送され、複数の供給位置Ｐ１～Ｐ３に順に配置される。 The drum 2 is a cylindrical forming drum for forming a raw tire, and rotates around an axis. The direction of the axis of the drum 2 (axial direction) is arranged in the horizontal direction, and the drum 2 is conveyed in a horizontal state. The conveyance device 3 is a conveyance unit that conveys the drum 2, and includes a holding member 3 </ b> A that holds the drum 2 and a moving device 3 </ b> B. The conveying device 3 holds both ends of the drum 2 with a pair of holding members 3 </ b> A, moves with the moving device 3 </ b> B, and conveys the drum 2 within the tire manufacturing device 1. The drum 2 is sequentially conveyed by the conveying device 3 to a plurality of supply positions (three supply positions P1 to P3 in FIG. 1) of the tire constituent member 6, and is sequentially arranged at the plurality of supply positions P1 to P3.
　複数の供給位置Ｐ１～Ｐ３は、それぞれ供給装置７によりタイヤ構成部材６がドラム２に供給される位置である。ドラム２が搬送装置３により各供給位置Ｐ１～Ｐ３に配置されて、タイヤ構成部材６が各供給位置Ｐ１～Ｐ３のドラム２に供給される。複数の供給位置Ｐ１～Ｐ３において、ドラム駆動装置４がドラム２を回転して、ドラム２に供給されるタイヤ構成部材６がドラム２の外周２Ａに巻き付けられる。これにより、ドラム２の外周２Ａで、複数のタイヤ構成部材６が組み合わされて、生タイヤが成形される。 The plurality of supply positions P1 to P3 are positions at which the tire constituent member 6 is supplied to the drum 2 by the supply device 7, respectively. The drum 2 is arranged at each of the supply positions P1 to P3 by the transport device 3, and the tire constituent member 6 is supplied to the drum 2 at each of the supply positions P1 to P3. At a plurality of supply positions P1 to P3, the drum driving device 4 rotates the drum 2, and the tire constituent member 6 supplied to the drum 2 is wound around the outer periphery 2A of the drum 2. Thus, a plurality of tire constituent members 6 are combined on the outer periphery 2A of the drum 2 to form a raw tire.
　複数のドラム駆動装置４は、タイヤ構成部材６の複数の供給位置Ｐ１～Ｐ３に配置され、各供給位置Ｐ１～Ｐ３に搬送後のドラム２と連結されて、ドラム２を駆動する。例えば、ドラム駆動装置４は、ドラム２を回転させる回転駆動装置であり、回転駆動源によりドラム２を回転させる。ドラム２の搬送時には、ドラム２が搬送装置３により保持されて、ドラム２とドラム駆動装置４との連結が解除される。また、ドラム２がドラム駆動装置４から取り外されて、搬送装置３がドラム２のみを搬送する。供給位置Ｐ１～Ｐ３では、搬送装置３によりドラム２が保持された状態で、ドラム２がドラム駆動装置４に連結される。その後、搬送装置３は、ドラム２の保持を解除して、ドラム２から離れる。 The plurality of drum driving devices 4 are arranged at a plurality of supply positions P1 to P3 of the tire constituent member 6, and are connected to the drums 2 after being conveyed to the supply positions P1 to P3 to drive the drums 2. For example, the drum driving device 4 is a rotation driving device that rotates the drum 2, and rotates the drum 2 by a rotation driving source. When the drum 2 is transported, the drum 2 is held by the transport device 3 and the connection between the drum 2 and the drum driving device 4 is released. Further, the drum 2 is detached from the drum driving device 4, and the conveying device 3 conveys only the drum 2. At the supply positions P1 to P3, the drum 2 is connected to the drum driving device 4 while the drum 2 is held by the transport device 3. Thereafter, the transport device 3 releases the holding of the drum 2 and leaves the drum 2.
　タイヤ製造装置１は、ドラム２及びドラム駆動装置４に設けられた着脱可能な連結機構９を備えている。連結機構９は、各供給位置Ｐ１～Ｐ３に搬送されたドラム２とドラム駆動装置４とを連結する。タイヤ構成部材６がドラム２の外周２Ａに巻き付けられた後、搬送装置３は、ドラム駆動装置４との連結が解除されたドラム２を搬送する。ドラム２は、ドラム駆動装置４から取り外されて、搬送装置３により、次のドラム駆動装置４に搬送される。このように、ドラム２は、複数の供給位置Ｐ１～Ｐ３に配置されたドラム駆動装置４に順に連結されて、ドラム駆動装置４に取り付けられる。その状態で、押さえ装置５は、ドラム２の軸線の位置に接触して、ドラム２をドラム駆動装置４に向かって押す。ドラム２は、押さえ装置５により押さえられつつ、ドラム駆動装置４により回転する。 The tire manufacturing apparatus 1 includes a detachable coupling mechanism 9 provided in the drum 2 and the drum driving device 4. The connection mechanism 9 connects the drum 2 conveyed to the supply positions P1 to P3 and the drum driving device 4. After the tire constituent member 6 is wound around the outer periphery 2 </ b> A of the drum 2, the transport device 3 transports the drum 2 that has been disconnected from the drum driving device 4. The drum 2 is removed from the drum driving device 4 and conveyed to the next drum driving device 4 by the conveying device 3. In this way, the drum 2 is connected to the drum driving device 4 by being sequentially connected to the drum driving devices 4 arranged at the plurality of supply positions P1 to P3. In this state, the pressing device 5 contacts the position of the axis of the drum 2 and pushes the drum 2 toward the drum driving device 4. The drum 2 is rotated by the drum driving device 4 while being pressed by the pressing device 5.
　複数の供給装置７は、タイヤ構成部材６の供給手段であり、複数のタイヤ構成部材６をドラム２に順に供給する。複数の供給装置７により、複数の供給位置Ｐ１～Ｐ３において、タイヤ構成部材６は、ドラム２の外周２Ａへの巻き付けに合わせて、ドラム２の外周２Ａに供給される。タイヤ構成部材６は、タイヤの一部としてタイヤを構成する部材（インナーライナ、カーカスプライ、サイドウォールゴム、ベルト、トレッドゴム等）であり、例えば、帯状、又は、リボン状に形成される。タイヤ構成部材６は、回転するドラム２の外周２Ａに１周又は複数周巻き付けられて、円筒状又は環状に成形される。 The plurality of supply devices 7 are means for supplying the tire constituent member 6 and sequentially supply the plurality of tire constituent members 6 to the drum 2. The plurality of supply devices 7 supply the tire constituent member 6 to the outer periphery 2A of the drum 2 at the plurality of supply positions P1 to P3 in accordance with the winding of the drum 2 around the outer periphery 2A. The tire constituent member 6 is a member (inner liner, carcass ply, sidewall rubber, belt, tread rubber, or the like) that constitutes the tire as a part of the tire, and is formed in, for example, a belt shape or a ribbon shape. The tire component 6 is wound around the outer periphery 2A of the rotating drum 2 one or more times, and is formed into a cylindrical shape or an annular shape.
　タイヤ構成部材６が帯状部材であるときには、供給装置７は、搬送部（例えば、コンベヤ）により、ドラム２の外周２Ａの所定位置に向かってタイヤ構成部材６を搬送して、タイヤ構成部材６をドラム２に供給する。また、タイヤ構成部材６は、予め所定長さに切断されて、ドラム２に供給される。或いは、タイヤ構成部材６は、ドラム２への供給中に、所定長さに切断される。 When the tire constituent member 6 is a belt-like member, the supply device 7 conveys the tire constituent member 6 toward a predetermined position on the outer periphery 2A of the drum 2 by a transport unit (for example, a conveyor), and the tire constituent member 6 Supply to drum 2. The tire component 6 is cut into a predetermined length in advance and supplied to the drum 2. Alternatively, the tire constituent member 6 is cut to a predetermined length while being supplied to the drum 2.
　タイヤ構成部材６がリボン状部材であるときには、タイヤ構成部材６は、供給装置７に設けられた巻き付けロールの外周に付着して、回転する巻き付けロールによりドラム２の外周２Ａに押し付けられる。供給装置７は、巻き付けロールにより、タイヤ構成部材６をドラム２に供給して、ドラム２の外周２Ａにタイヤ構成部材６を巻き付ける。 When the tire constituent member 6 is a ribbon-like member, the tire constituent member 6 adheres to the outer periphery of the winding roll provided in the supply device 7 and is pressed against the outer periphery 2A of the drum 2 by the rotating winding roll. The supply device 7 supplies the tire constituent member 6 to the drum 2 by a winding roll, and winds the tire constituent member 6 around the outer periphery 2 </ b> A of the drum 2.
　このように、複数の供給装置７は、各供給位置Ｐ１～Ｐ３に配置されたドラム２に、それぞれタイヤ構成部材６を供給し、巻き付け手段により、タイヤ構成部材６をドラム２の外周２Ａに巻き付ける。その際、タイヤ構成部材６は、ドラム２の外周２Ａに直接又は間接に巻き付けられる。タイヤ構成部材６の間接巻き付け時には、タイヤ構成部材６は、ドラム２の外周２Ａに配置されたタイヤ構成部材６に巻き付けられる。 As described above, the plurality of supply devices 7 supply the tire constituent members 6 to the drums 2 arranged at the respective supply positions P1 to P3, and wind the tire constituent members 6 around the outer periphery 2A of the drum 2 by the winding means. . At that time, the tire constituent member 6 is directly or indirectly wound around the outer periphery 2 </ b> A of the drum 2. At the time of indirect winding of the tire constituent member 6, the tire constituent member 6 is wound around the tire constituent member 6 disposed on the outer periphery 2 </ b> A of the drum 2.
　次に、タイヤ製造装置１によりタイヤを製造する手順について説明する。
　本実施形態のタイヤ製造装置１では、搬送装置３により、ドラム２をタイヤ構成部材６の複数の供給位置Ｐ１～Ｐ３に順に搬送する。また、複数の供給位置Ｐ１～Ｐ３に配置されたドラム駆動装置４と搬送後のドラム２とを連結し、押さえ装置５によりドラム２を押さえる。複数の供給位置Ｐ１～Ｐ３において、供給装置７により、タイヤ構成部材６をドラム２に供給して、タイヤ構成部材６をドラム２の外周２Ａに巻き付ける。これにより、複数のタイヤ構成部材６をドラム２の外周２Ａに順に巻き付けて、生タイヤを成形する。 Next, a procedure for manufacturing a tire by the tire manufacturing apparatus 1 will be described.
In the tire manufacturing apparatus 1 of the present embodiment, the drum 2 is sequentially conveyed to the plurality of supply positions P1 to P3 of the tire constituent member 6 by the conveying device 3. Further, the drum driving device 4 disposed at the plurality of supply positions P1 to P3 and the drum 2 after transport are connected, and the drum 2 is pressed by the pressing device 5. At a plurality of supply positions P1 to P3, the tire constituent member 6 is supplied to the drum 2 by the supply device 7, and the tire constituent member 6 is wound around the outer periphery 2A of the drum 2. Thus, a plurality of tire constituent members 6 are wound around the outer periphery 2A of the drum 2 in order to form a raw tire.
　タイヤ製造装置１は、複数のドラム２を備えており、複数のドラム２により、複数の生タイヤを並行して成形する。搬送装置３により、複数のドラム２は、複数の供給位置Ｐ１～Ｐ３に順に搬送される。その際、前のドラム２が各供給位置Ｐ１～Ｐ３から搬送された後、次のドラム２が各供給位置Ｐ１～Ｐ３に搬送される。タイヤ製造装置１は、複数のドラム２のそれぞれにより生タイヤを成形して、タイヤを連続して製造する。また、生タイヤの成形に必要なタイヤ構成部材６に対応して、タイヤ製造装置１は、ドラム２を搬送する供給位置Ｐ１～Ｐ３を変更して、搬送装置３によりドラム２を搬送する。 The tire manufacturing apparatus 1 includes a plurality of drums 2, and a plurality of raw tires are formed in parallel by the plurality of drums 2. The plurality of drums 2 are sequentially conveyed to the plurality of supply positions P1 to P3 by the conveyance device 3. At that time, after the previous drum 2 is transported from the supply positions P1 to P3, the next drum 2 is transported to the supply positions P1 to P3. The tire manufacturing apparatus 1 forms a raw tire with each of the plurality of drums 2 and continuously manufactures the tire. Further, the tire manufacturing apparatus 1 changes the supply positions P1 to P3 for conveying the drum 2 and conveys the drum 2 by the conveying device 3 corresponding to the tire constituent member 6 necessary for forming the raw tire.
　図２は、ドラム２の搬送について説明するための図であり、複数の供給位置（図２では、図１に示す供給位置Ｐ１～Ｐ３を含む８つの供給位置Ｐ１～Ｐ８）をブロックで示している。複数の供給位置Ｐ１～Ｐ８のそれぞれにおいて、上記したように、タイヤ構成部材６がドラム２に供給される。
　全ての供給位置Ｐ１～Ｐ８のタイヤ構成部材６が生タイヤの成形に必要なときには、ドラム２を全ての供給位置Ｐ１～Ｐ８に順に搬送して、全てのタイヤ構成部材６をドラム２の外周２Ａに巻き付ける。 FIG. 2 is a diagram for explaining the conveyance of the drum 2, and shows a plurality of supply positions (in FIG. 2, eight supply positions P1 to P8 including the supply positions P1 to P3 shown in FIG. 1) in blocks. Yes. As described above, the tire constituent member 6 is supplied to the drum 2 at each of the plurality of supply positions P1 to P8.
When the tire constituent members 6 at all the supply positions P1 to P8 are necessary for forming the raw tire, the drum 2 is sequentially conveyed to all the supply positions P1 to P8, and all the tire constituent members 6 are transferred to the outer periphery 2A of the drum 2. Wrap around.
　これに対し、生タイヤの成形に不要なタイヤ構成部材６があるときには、不要なタイヤ構成部材６の供給位置を除いて、ドラム２の搬送を行う。例えば、２つの供給位置Ｐ５、Ｐ６のタイヤ構成部材６のみが不要なときには、２つの供給位置Ｐ５、Ｐ６以外の供給位置Ｐ１～Ｐ４、Ｐ７、Ｐ８にドラム２を順に搬送する。このように、生タイヤの必要なタイヤ構成部材６の供給位置のみにドラム２を搬送して、必要なタイヤ構成部材６のみをドラム２の外周２Ａに巻き付ける。 On the other hand, when there is a tire constituent member 6 that is unnecessary for forming a raw tire, the drum 2 is transported except for the supply position of the unnecessary tire constituent member 6. For example, when only the tire constituent members 6 at the two supply positions P5 and P6 are unnecessary, the drum 2 is sequentially conveyed to the supply positions P1 to P4, P7 and P8 other than the two supply positions P5 and P6. In this way, the drum 2 is transported only to the supply position of the tire constituent member 6 where the raw tire is necessary, and only the necessary tire constituent member 6 is wound around the outer periphery 2 </ b> A of the drum 2.
　次に、各供給位置Ｐ１～Ｐ８に配置されたドラム２、ドラム駆動装置４、及び、押さえ装置５について具体的に説明する。
　図３は、ドラム２、ドラム駆動装置４、及び、押さえ装置５を示す図であり、ドラム駆動装置４と押さえ装置５の側面図を示している。また、図３は、軸線Ｓを含む面で切断したドラム２を示すとともに、軸線Ｓの上側と下側で異なる状態のドラム２を示している。図３は、拡大したドラム２を軸線Ｓの上側に示し、縮小したドラム２を軸線Ｓの下側に示している。 Next, the drum 2, the drum driving device 4, and the pressing device 5 arranged at each of the supply positions P1 to P8 will be specifically described.

FIG. 3 shows the drum 2 cut along the plane including the axis S, and shows the drum 2 in a different state on the upper side and the lower side of the axis S. FIG. 3 shows the enlarged drum 2 on the upper side of the axis S, and the reduced drum 2 on the lower side of the axis S.
　図示のように、ドラム２は、ドラム駆動装置４により支持される円筒状の支持軸１０と、作動流体により作動する拡縮機構２０と、作動流体用の配管３０と、配管３０の接続口３１を有する。ドラム２は、搬送装置３により保持されて、ドラム駆動装置４と押さえ装置５の間に配置される。ドラム駆動装置４は、支持軸１０の一端部１１と対向し、押さえ装置５は、支持軸１０の他端部１２と対向する。支持軸１０は、ドラム２の軸方向に延びるドラム２の中心軸であり、かつ、ドラム駆動装置４に連結される連結軸である。 As shown in the figure, the drum 2 includes a cylindrical support shaft 10 supported by the drum driving device 4, an expansion / contraction mechanism 20 operated by the working fluid, a working fluid pipe 30, and a connection port 31 of the pipe 30. Have. The drum 2 is held by the transport device 3 and is disposed between the drum driving device 4 and the pressing device 5.

　作動流体が収容室２８に供給されたときに、移動体２７は、収容室２８が大きくなる方向に移動して、可動部材２２をドラム２の半径方向外側に移動させる（軸線Ｓの上側参照）。同時に、複数の外周部材２１がドラム２の半径方向外側に移動して、ドラム２の外周２Ａが拡大する。作動流体が収容室２８から排出されたときに、移動体２７は、収容室２８が小さくなる方向に移動して、可動部材２２をドラム２の半径方向内側に移動させる（軸線Ｓの下側参照）。同時に、複数の外周部材２１がドラム２の半径方向内側に移動して、ドラム２の外周２Ａが縮小する。このように、拡縮機構２０は、作動流体の供給によりドラム２の外周２Ａを拡大し、作動流体の排出によりドラム２の外周２Ａを縮小する。 When the working fluid is supplied to the storage chamber 28, the moving body 27 moves in the direction in which the storage chamber 28 becomes larger, and moves the movable member 22 to the outside in the radial direction of the drum 2 (see the upper side of the axis S). . At the same time, the plurality of outer peripheral members 21 move outward in the radial direction of the drum 2, and the outer periphery 2A of the drum 2 is enlarged. When the working fluid is discharged from the storage chamber 28, the moving body 27 moves in the direction in which the storage chamber 28 becomes smaller, and moves the movable member 22 to the inside in the radial direction of the drum 2 (see the lower side of the axis S). ). At the same time, the plurality of outer peripheral members 21 move inward in the radial direction of the drum 2, and the outer periphery 2A of the drum 2 is reduced. Thus, the expansion / contraction mechanism 20 expands the outer periphery 2A of the drum 2 by supplying the working fluid, and contracts the outer periphery 2A of the drum 2 by discharging the working fluid.

By pressing the other end portion 12 of the support shaft 10 during the rotation of the drum 2, the drum 2 can be accurately rotated and the tire constituent member 6 can be accurately wound around the outer periphery 2 </ b> A of the drum 2.
　なお、ここでは、ドラム２は、搬送装置３の１つの搬送機構により、複数の供給位置Ｐ１～Ｐ３に搬送される。これに対し、搬送装置３に複数の搬送機構（例えば、搬送リフト、搬送ロボット、搬送クレーン）を設けて、搬送装置３の複数の搬送機構により、ドラム２を複数の供給位置Ｐ１～Ｐ３に搬送してもよい。また、ドラム２とドラム駆動装置４を、ボールロック機構以外の連結機構９により連結するようにしてもよい。 Here, the drum 2 is transported to a plurality of supply positions P1 to P3 by one transport mechanism of the transport device 3. In contrast, the transport device 3 is provided with a plurality of transport mechanisms (for example, a transport lift, a transport robot, and a transport crane), and the drum 2 is transported to a plurality of supply positions P1 to P3 by the plurality of transport mechanisms of the transport device 3. May be. Further, the drum 2 and the drum driving device 4 may be coupled by a coupling mechanism 9 other than the ball lock mechanism.
　ドラム２は、生タイヤの成形に用いられる種々のドラムである。タイヤ製造装置１は、ドラム２により、例えば、中間成形体（カーカスバンド、トレッド部材、ベルト・トレッド組立体等）、又は、生タイヤを成形する。タイヤの構造、生タイヤの成形手順、ドラム２により成形する成形体等に対応して、ドラム２に巻き付けるタイヤ構成部材の数が変化する。従って、タイヤ構成部材の供給位置の数は、ドラム２に巻き付けるタイヤ構成部材の数に対応した数となる。 Drum 2 is a variety of drums used for forming green tires. The tire manufacturing apparatus 1 uses the drum 2 to form, for example, an intermediate molded body (carcass band, tread member, belt / tread assembly, etc.) or a green tire. The number of tire constituent members wound around the drum 2 changes according to the structure of the tire, the molding procedure of the green tire, the molded body molded by the drum 2, and the like. Therefore, the number of supply positions of the tire constituent members is a number corresponding to the number of tire constituent members wound around the drum 2.
