It has a spring member 29 that holds the mold parts 23 and 24 at a prescribed position and elastically deforms to allow the design surface split mold parts 23 and 24 to rotate relative to the holder 22 when the tread forming part 20 is opened. With this configuration, when the green tire is vulcanized and molded, the design surface division mold parts 23 and 24 are surely held at the specified positions to improve the moldability of the tire 2, and the tire 2 is molded.
- the design surface split mold portions 23 and 24 can rotate spontaneously with respect to the holder 22 around the rotation shaft 26, The undercut resistance of the projections 25 to the tread 2c when releasing the tire 2 can be reduced.
- the tire molding mold of the example has the above configuration, the design surface division mold part is made of aluminum alloy (AC4C), the difference between the maximum inner diameter and the minimum inner diameter is 35 mm, and the protrusion is a stainless steel plate ( SUS304 (H material) with a thickness of 0.3 mm, the holder is made of low carbon steel (equivalent to S45C) by machining, and the spring member is about 10 mm when a load of 100 kg is applied.
- a tire with an inner diameter of 600 mm and a tire width of 255 mm was molded by using a configuration in which each design surface division mold portion rotates 5 degrees when the segment moves radially outward by 16 mm.
- the external force (driving force applied to the holder) required to release this from the mold was measured. As a result, it was confirmed that the external force of the tire molding die of the example can be reduced by about 30% compared to the tire molding die of the comparative example having a structure in which the design surface dividing mold portion does not rotate.
- each of the segments 21 is configured to have two design surface split mold portions 23 and 24, but it may be configured to have three or more design surface split mold portions. good.
- each segment 21 is provided with a holder 22, and the two design surface split mold portions 23 and 24 are rotatably supported by the holder 22 by a rotating shaft 26.
- the two design surface split mold parts 23 and 24 may be supported by another member such as the intermediate container 5 by means of the rotating shaft 26 without providing the holder 22 .
- the holder 22 of the segment 21 is fixed to the intermediate container 5, but the holder 22 may be integrated with the intermediate container 5.
