Description

本発明は、例えば空気入りタイヤの製造に用いられるタイヤ加硫方法に関する。   The present invention relates to a tire vulcanization method used for manufacturing a pneumatic tire, for example.

従来、タイヤ加硫方法については、例えば、特許文献1がある。この従来技術では、ブラダーにおける金型の分割位置に対応する部分を、他の部分よりも膨張時のタイヤ径方向の伸びが遅くなるように形成している。このため、各割モールドの周方向端部同士が完全に当接する前に各割モールドの間に未加硫タイヤの一部のゴムが入り込むことなく加硫成形できるようになっている。   Conventionally, there exists patent document 1 about the tire vulcanization method, for example. In this prior art, the part corresponding to the division | segmentation position of the metal mold | die in a bladder is formed so that the elongation of the tire radial direction at the time of expansion | swelling may become slower than another part. For this reason, vulcanization molding can be performed without causing a part of the rubber of the unvulcanized tire to enter between the split molds before the circumferential ends of the split molds are completely in contact with each other.

しかしながら、特許文献1では、ブラダーにおける金型の分割位置に対応する部分を、他の部分よりもタイヤ径方向の厚さの大きい偏肉部によって形成することにより、偏肉部が他の部分よりも膨張時のタイヤ径方向の伸びが遅くなるようにしている。このため、ブラダーを変更する必要がある。この結果、装置の構成が複雑になりコストアップになる。   However, in patent document 1, the part corresponding to the division | segmentation position of the metal mold | die in a bladder is formed by the uneven thickness part whose thickness of a tire radial direction is larger than another part, and an uneven thickness part is more than other parts. Also, the expansion in the tire radial direction during expansion is slowed down. For this reason, it is necessary to change the bladder. As a result, the configuration of the apparatus becomes complicated and the cost increases.

本発明は、上記問題を考慮し、割モールドの間に未加硫タイヤの一部のゴムが入り込むのを容易に防止できるタイヤ加硫方法を提供することが目的である。   In view of the above problems, an object of the present invention is to provide a tire vulcanizing method that can easily prevent a part of rubber of an unvulcanized tire from entering between split molds.

請求項1に記載の本発明のタイヤ加硫方法は、タイヤ周方向に沿って複数の割モールドに分割された金型の分割位置となる未加硫タイヤのトレッド表面にラジアル方向の凹部を形成し、前記未加硫タイヤの前記トレッド表面側に前記金型を配置すると共に、前記未加硫タイヤ内に配置したブラダーを膨張させて前記未加硫タイヤの内面を加圧することにより、前記トレッド表面を前記金型に押し付け前記未加硫タイヤを加硫成形する。   In the tire vulcanizing method according to the first aspect of the present invention, a radial concave portion is formed on the tread surface of an unvulcanized tire which is a division position of a mold divided into a plurality of split molds along the tire circumferential direction.

For this reason, due to the radial recesses formed on the tread surface of the unvulcanized tire, the portion corresponding to the mold split position on the tread surface of the unvulcanized tire is more expanded to the mold during expansion than the other portions. Reach slow. As a result, it is possible to vulcanize and mold the rubber without part of the rubber of the unvulcanized tire entering between the split molds before the circumferential ends of the split molds are completely in contact with each other. In addition, since a radial recess may be formed on the tread surface of the unvulcanized tire, it is possible to easily prevent a part of the rubber of the unvulcanized tire from entering between the split molds.

The upper mold 18 moves upward (in the direction of arrow A in FIG. 5) and downward (in the direction of arrow B in FIG. 5) together with the substrate 24. It is possible.

中型22は、未加硫タイヤ12のトレッド表面12Aに対応するようになっており、タイヤ周方向に沿って複数の割モールド22Aに分割されている。また、中型22の各割モールド22Aは内周面にトレッドパターンを成型するキャビティを有しており、それぞれ支持部28を介して基板24にタイヤ径方向(図5の矢印C方向とD方向)へ移動可能に支持されている。   The middle mold 22 corresponds to the tread surface 12A of the unvulcanized tire 12, and is divided into a plurality of split molds 22A along the tire circumferential direction. Further, each split mold 22A of the middle mold 22 has a cavity for molding a tread pattern on the inner peripheral surface, and the tire 24 in the tire radial direction (directions of arrows C and D in FIG. 5) via the support portion 28, respectively. It is supported so as to be movable.

一方、ブラダーユニット16は、上下一対のブラダークランプ30、32と、ブラダー34とを有しており、ブラダー34は各ブラダークランプ30、32によって支持されている。また、ブラダー34は樹脂繊維製コードや金属製コードによって補強された加硫ゴムからなり可撓性となっている。   On the other hand, the bladder unit 16 has a pair of upper and lower bladder clamps 30 and 32 and a bladder 34, and the bladder 34 is supported by the bladder clamps 30 and 32.

(未加硫タイヤ)
図2に示すように、未加硫タイヤ12のトレッド表面12Aには、タイヤ周方向に沿って所定の間隔でラジアル方向(未加硫タイヤ12の軸線方向に沿った方向)に沿って連続した凹部44が形成されている。また、これらの凹部44は図1及び図4に示すタイヤ周方向に沿って複数の割モールド22Aに分割された中型22の分割位置と一致するようになっている。
(Unvulcanized tire)
As shown in FIG. 2, the tread surface 12A of the unvulcanized tire 12 continues along the radial direction (direction along the axial direction of the unvulcanized tire 12) at a predetermined interval along the tire circumferential direction. A recess 44 is formed. Moreover, these recessed parts 44 correspond with the division | segmentation position of the middle mold | type 22 divided | segmented into several split mold 22A along the tire circumferential direction shown in FIG.1 and FIG.4.

図3に示すように、凹部44のラジアル方向から見た断面形状は、底部と開口縁部が円弧状となったV字状となっており、凹部44の形状は、凹部44を設けない未加硫タイヤ12のトレッド表面12Aが各割モールド22Aの間に噛み込まれるゴムの形状に対応している。即ち、凹部44の容積は、凹部44を設けない未加硫タイヤ12のトレッド表面12Aが各割モールド22Aの間に噛み込まれるゴムの容積と同じになっている。   As shown in FIG. 3, the cross-sectional shape of the concave portion 44 viewed from the radial direction is a V shape in which the bottom portion and the opening edge portion are arcuate, and the concave portion 44 is not provided with the concave portion 44. The tread surface 12A of the vulcanized tire 12 corresponds to the shape of rubber that is bitten between the split molds 22A. In other words, the volume of the recess 44 is the same as the volume of rubber in which the tread surface 12A of the unvulcanized tire 12 without the recess 44 is caught between the split molds 22A.

また、図1に示すように、未加硫タイヤ12のトレッド表面12Aに形成された凹部44の数は中型22の分割位置の数と同じになっている。即ち、中型22の全ての分割位置に対応する未加硫タイヤ12のトレッド表面12Aに凹部44が形成されている。   Further, as shown in FIG. 1, the number of recesses 44 formed on the tread surface 12 </ b> A of the unvulcanized tire 12 is the same as the number of division positions of the middle mold 22. That is, the recesses 44 are formed in the tread surface 12A of the unvulcanized tire 12 corresponding to all the division positions of the middle mold 22.

(タイヤ加硫方法) (Tire vulcanization method)

以上のように構成された加硫装置により未加硫タイヤ12を加硫する場合は、先ず、未加硫タイヤ12のトレッド表面12Aの中型22の分割位置となる部位に凹部44を形成する。未加硫タイヤ12のトレッド表面12Aに凹部44を形成する方法としては、タイヤのトレッドパターンのカットに使用するタイヤグルーバーによって形成する方法、又は電熱線を内蔵した凸形状突起(治具)によって形成する方法がある。なお、電熱線を内蔵した凸形状突起(治具)は、未加硫タイヤ12を取り出す際に使用するOリング形状となるセグメントに設けてもよい。   When the unvulcanized tire 12 is vulcanized by the vulcanizing apparatus configured as described above, first, the concave portion 44 is formed in a portion to be a division position of the middle mold 22 of the tread surface 12A of the unvulcanized tire 12. As a method of forming the recess 44 on the tread surface 12A of the unvulcanized tire 12, a method of forming by a tire groove used for cutting a tread pattern of the tire or a method of forming a convex protrusion (jig) incorporating a heating wire is used. There is a way to do it. In addition, you may provide the convex-shaped protrusion (jig) which incorporated the heating wire in the segment used as the O-ring shape used when taking out the unvulcanized tire 12. FIG.

次に、ブラダー34が収縮したブラダーユニット16を未加硫タイヤ12の内部(径方向内側)に配置すると共に未加硫タイヤ12を金型14内に配置する。その際、本実施形態では、図1に示すように、未加硫タイヤ12のトレッド表面12Aに形成された凹部44の位置を中型22の分割位置、即ち、隣接する割モールド22Aの間に配置する。   Next, the bladder unit 16 contracted by the bladder 34 is arranged inside the unvulcanized tire 12 (inside in the radial direction) and the unvulcanized tire 12 is arranged in the mold 14. At this time, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, the position of the recess 44 formed on the tread surface 12A of the unvulcanized tire 12 is arranged between the division positions of the middle mold 22, that is, between the adjacent split molds 22A. To do.

次に、図4に示すように、中型22の各割モールド22Aの周方向端部同士を当接させると共に、ブラダーユニット16のブラダー34を加熱蒸気によって膨張させる。これにより、未加硫タイヤ12の内面がブラダー34によって加圧及び加熱されるとともに、未加硫タイヤ12のトレッド表面が金型14に押し付けられて成形される。   Next, as shown in FIG. 4, the circumferential ends of the split molds 22A of the middle mold 22 are brought into contact with each other, and the bladder 34 of the bladder unit 16 is expanded by heated steam. As a result, the inner surface of the unvulcanized tire 12 is pressurized and heated by the bladder 34, and the tread surface of the unvulcanized tire 12 is pressed against the mold 14 to be molded.

この際、本実施形態では、未加硫タイヤ12のトレッド表面12Aに形成された凹部44の位置が中型22の分割位置となっている。このため、未加硫タイヤ12のトレッド表面12Aにおける中型22の分割位置に対応する部分が、他の部分よりも膨張時の中型22への到達が遅くなる。このため、各割モールド22Aの間に未加硫タイヤ12の一部のゴムが入り込むことなく加硫成形される。   At this time, in the present embodiment, the position of the recess 44 formed on the tread surface 12A of the unvulcanized tire 12 is the division position of the middle mold 22. For this reason, the part corresponding to the division position of the middle mold 22 on the tread surface 12A of the unvulcanized tire 12 arrives at the middle mold 22 at the time of expansion more slowly than the other parts. For this reason, it vulcanizes and molds, without a part of rubber | gum of the unvulcanized tire 12 entering between each split mold 22A.

(作用・効果)
このように、本実施形態では、中型22の分割位置となる未加硫タイヤ12のトレッド表面12Aに、ラジアル方向の凹部44を形成したため、各割モールド22Aの間に未加硫タイヤ12の一部のゴムが入り込むことがない。この結果、各割モールド22Aの間に未加硫タイヤ12の一部のゴムが入り込むのを容易且つ低コストで防止できる。
(Action / Effect)
As described above, in the present embodiment, since the radial recesses 44 are formed on the tread surface 12A of the unvulcanized tire 12 that is the division position of the middle mold 22, one unvulcanized tire 12 is provided between the split molds 22A. The rubber of the part does not enter. As a result, it is possible to easily and inexpensively prevent a part of the rubber of the unvulcanized tire 12 from entering between each split mold 22A.

また、本実施形態では、分割された中型22の分割位置の数と、凹部44の数とが同じになっている。このため、未加硫タイヤ12のトレッド表面12Aの全周において、各割モールド22Aの間に未加硫タイヤ12の一部のゴムが入り込むのを容易に防止できる。   In the present embodiment, the number of division positions of the divided middle mold 22 is the same as the number of recesses 44. For this reason, it is possible to easily prevent a part of the rubber of the unvulcanized tire 12 from entering between the split molds 22A on the entire circumference of the tread surface 12A of the unvulcanized tire 12.

また、本実施形態では、凹部44のラジアル方向から見た断面形状が、凹部44を設けない未加硫タイヤ12のトレッド表面12Aが中型22の分割位置に噛み込まれる形状に対応している。このため、各割モールド22Aの間に未加硫タイヤ12の一部のゴムが入り込むのを容易に防止できると共に、加硫成形後のタイヤのトレッド表面に凹部44によって窪みが残るのを防止できるのでトレッド表面形状を確保することができる。   In the present embodiment, the cross-sectional shape of the concave portion 44 viewed from the radial direction corresponds to the shape in which the tread surface 12A of the unvulcanized tire 12 without the concave portion 44 is bitten into the division position of the middle mold 22. For this reason, it is possible to easily prevent a part of the rubber of the unvulcanized tire 12 from entering between each split mold 22A, and it is possible to prevent the depression 44 from remaining on the tread surface of the tire after vulcanization molding. Therefore, the tread surface shape can be secured.

また、本実施形態では、タイヤグルーバー又は電熱線を内蔵した凸形状突起(治具)によって、未加硫タイヤ12のトレッド表面12Aに凹部44を形成する。このため、凹部44を容易に形成することができる。さらに、電熱線を内蔵した凸形状突起(治具)を、未加硫タイヤ12を取り出す際に使用するOリング形状となるセグメントに設けることで、凹部44をさらに容易に形成することができる。   In the present embodiment, the concave portion 44 is formed on the tread surface 12A of the unvulcanized tire 12 by a convex protrusion (jig) incorporating a tire groover or heating wire. For this reason, the recessed part 44 can be formed easily.
