【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、生タイヤの製造工程において、ドラム上で円筒状に成形されたカーカスを含むタイヤ部材を前記ドラムから取り出す際、このタイヤ部材をドラムから圧縮空気を用いて剥離させることができ、前記取り出しを精度良くかつ能率良く行いうる生タイヤ成形用フォーマに関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
ラジアル構造のタイヤにあっては、そのコード配列角度に原因して、カーカスをトロイド状にシェーピングした後、ベルト等の貼付が行われる。従って、ラジアルタイヤには、一般に、図7に示すように、カーカスを含むタイヤ部材A1を巻回して円筒状に成形する第1フォーマfと、この円筒状タイヤ部材A2をトロイド状にシェーピングしかつそのクラウン部にベルトやトレッドゴム等を貼着して生タイヤを成形する第2フォーマ(図示しない)とを用いた所謂ツーステージ成形法が広く採用される。
【0003】
又、この第1フォーマfでは、同図の如く、前記タイヤ部材A1を巻回して円筒状タイヤ部材A2を形成する縮径可能な中央ドラムbと、その両外側に配され、円筒状タイヤ部材A2の軸方向両端部にセットしたビードコアCよりも軸方向外側部分を巻上げるブラダーを有する巻き上げ手段とを含んで構成される。
【0004】
そして、前記外側部分が巻上げられた円筒状タイヤ部材A3(タイヤ部材A1、A2、A3を総称してタイヤ部材Aと呼ぶ場合がある)は、前記中央ドラムbの縮径によって取り出された後、次の第2フォーマへと移送される。
【0005】
このとき、前記タイヤ部材Aは、薄くかつ粘着性が強いため中央ドラムbに貼着してしまい、その取り出しを困難なものとする。なお中央ドラムbとの貼着は、一方では、タイヤ部材Aを円筒状に巻回するためには不可欠である。
【0006】
そこで、従来においては、中央ドラムbの表面に、例えばテフロン(デュポン社の商標)処理やサンドブラスト処理などの剥離処理を部分的に施し、タイヤ部材Aの巻回と取り出しとの両立が図られている。
【0007】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかしながら、この部分的な剥離処理では、タイヤ部材Aと中央ドラムbとの剥離が不十分であるため、取り出し作業能率を低下させる。又タイヤ部材Aを、非剥離処理部分において無理に引き剥がす際、変形が生じてカーカス内の横糸が部分的に切断され、次工程であるシェーピング時にカーカスコード間隔が不均一化するなどユニフォミティーの低下原因にもなっている。
【0008】
そこで本発明は、ブラダー膨張用の圧縮空気の一部を、円筒状タイヤ部材と中央ドラムとの間に供給することを基本として、この圧縮空気によってタイヤ部材を中央ドラムから効果的に剥離させることができ、その取り出し作業を精度良くかつ能率良く行いうるとともに、取り出しに伴うユニフォミティーの低下を抑制しうる生タイヤ成形用フォーマの提供を目的としている。
【0009】
【課題を解決するための手段】
前記目的を達成するために、本願請求項1の発明は、カーカスを含むシート状のタイヤ部材を外周面上で巻回して円筒状タイヤ部材を形成する縮径可能な中央ドラムと、
この中央ドラムの両側に配され、前記中央ドラムの非縮径状態において、円筒状タイヤ部材の軸方向両端部に配したビードコアよりも軸方向外側部分を巻上げる巻き上げ手段とを具える生タイヤ成形用フォーマであって、
前記巻き上げ手段は、圧縮空気の流入により脹れて前記外側部分をビードコアの廻りで巻上げるとともに前記中央ドラムの両端を封止することによりその間に密封状空間を形成するブラダーと、このブラダーに前記圧縮空気を流入する空気流路とを具えるとともに、 この空気流路に、前記圧縮空気を分岐して前記中央ドラムと前記円筒状タイヤ部材との間に供給することにより円筒状タイヤ部材を中央ドラムから剥離させる分岐空気路を付設し、
前記中央ドラムは、周方向に配されかつ半径方向に移動可能な複数個のセグメントを具えるとともに、
かつ前記分岐空気路は、前記空気流路から前記密封状空間を通りセグメント間の空隙をへて前記圧縮空気を前記中央ドラムと前記円筒状タイヤ部材との間に供給することを特徴としている。
【0010】
又請求項2の発明では、前記圧縮空気は、5〜80kPaであることを特徴としている。
【0011】
又請求項3の発明では、前記空気流路が、前記ブラダーに圧縮空気を流入させ膨張させる導通孔を具え、
かつ前記分岐空気路は、前記導通孔から分岐して圧縮空気の一部を前記密封状空間に導通する分岐孔と、前記密封状空間と、前記セグメント間の空隙からなる排気孔とから形成されることを特徴としている。
【0012】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明の実施の一形態を、図示例とともに説明する。図1は本発明の生タイヤ成形用フォーマ1の正面図である。
【0013】
図1において、生タイヤ成形用フォーマ1(以下フォーマー1という)は、所謂ツーステージ成形法に用いられる第1フォーマであって、シート状のタイヤ部材A1を巻回して円筒状タイヤ部材A2を形成する縮径可能な中央ドラム2と、その両側に配される巻き上げ手段3とを具える。
【0014】
前記中央ドラム2は、ドラム軸5(図1に示す)に回転自在に支持される円筒状体であって、図2に示すように、周方向に等分割(本例では8等分割)された複数個の円弧状のセグメント6から形成されるとともに、各セグメント6は、周知構造の縮径手段(図示しない)によって、半径方向内方に移動可能に支持される。
【0015】
なお前記セグメント6は、本例では、半径方向線に対して、例えば30〜60度の角度θで傾斜する周方向端面6Sを有し、隣り合う各端面6Sが互いに突き合わされて真円状に接続される非縮径状態Y1と、隣り合う周方向端面6Sが半径方向内外に位置ズレして折り畳まれることにより外周面Sの直径が実質的に減じる縮径状態Y2との間を移動できる。
【0016】
そして、図3に示すように、中央ドラム2の前記非縮径状態Y1において、その外周面S上に、タイヤ部材A1を巻回してなる円筒状タイヤ部材A2が形成されるとともに、その軸方向両端部には、ビードコアCがセットされる。
【0017】
ここで、前記タイヤ部材A1は、少なくともカーカス4を含み、通常は、このカーカス4と、その半径方向内側に配される低空気透過性ゴムからなるインナーライナ(図示しない)とから構成される。なお前記カーカス4の軸方向巾は、前記中央ドラム2よりも巾広であり、従って、タイヤ部材A1は、少なくともカーカス4を含む軸方向両端部がドラム両端からはみ出して巻回される。
【0018】
又前記フォーマ1では、このはみ出し部分を、適宜の押さえ具(図示しない)を用いて前記外周面Sよりも半径方向内方に押さえ付けた後、前記ビードコアCをタイヤ軸方向外側から内方に移動せしめ、ビードコアCの側面をタイヤ部材A2に押圧することにより、このタイヤ部材A2の粘着力を利用してビードコアCをドラム端面に固定する。
【0019】
しかる後、前記巻き上げ手段3を用い、前記ビードコアCよりも軸方向外側部分A2aをビードコアCの廻りで巻上げることにより、円筒状の第1の生タイヤA3(図6に示す)を形成する。
【0020】
前記巻き上げ手段3は、図3、4に示すように、圧縮空気の流入により脹れて前記外側部分A2aをビードコアCの廻りで巻上げるブラダー7を具え、このブラダー7は、ドラム軸5に取り付く支持金具9を介して支持される。
【0021】
前記支持金具9は、本例では、前記ドラム軸5に外挿される円筒状のスリーブ10と、その軸方向内端から半径方向外方に立ち上がる略円板状の側板11と、該側板11の半径方向外端から軸方向外方に向かって前記ドラム軸5とは同心にのびる円筒状のブラダ受け12とを具える。なお前記スリーブ10は、前記ドラム軸5に設ける止めリング13によってドラム軸5に固定される。又前記側板11の半径方向外端部には、前記ブラダー7の両縁部を嵌着して固定する嵌入凹部11A、11Bが、軸方向の内外に位置を違えて形成される。
【0022】
又前記ブラダー7は、周知の如く、ゴムなどの弾性材料からなる袋状体であり、常時は前記ブラダ受け12の外周面に沿って略円筒状に折り畳まれて保持されるとともに、圧縮空気の流入によってトロイド状に膨張する。
【0023】
ここで、前記ブラダー7にとって重要なことは、前記膨張により、前記円筒状タイヤ部材A2の外側部分A2aを巻上げる際、ブラダー7が前記中央ドラム2との間を気密に封止することである。そのために、本例では、軸方向内側の前記嵌入凹部11Aを、中央ドラム2の外端よりも軸方向内側に配置させ、膨張時、前記ブラダー7が中央ドラム2の内周面と圧接するように構成している。
【0024】
このとき前記中央ドラム2は、その外周面Sが前記円筒状タイヤ部材A2によって覆われているため、前記ブラダー7による両端封止によって、前記中央ドラム2の内部は、密封状空間Hとして形成されることとなる。
【0025】
又前記支持金具9には、前記ブラダー7に圧縮空気を流入する空気流路15を設けている。この空気流路15は、前記スリーブ10内に形成される環状の空気室16と、この空気室16から、前記スリーブ10の軸方向内端部10Aおよび前記側板11を通る導通孔17とを具え、該導通孔17は、前記嵌入凹部11A、11B間で開口する。なお前記空気室16は、空気バルブなどを介して高圧空気源に接続される。
【0026】
又本実施形態では、前記空気流路15には、前記圧縮空気を分岐して前記中央ドラム2と前記円筒状タイヤ部材A2との間に供給する分岐空気路18が付設される。
【0027】
この分岐空気路18は、本例では、前記導通孔17から分岐して圧縮空気の一部を前記密封状空間Hに導通する分岐孔19と、前記密封状空間Hと、前記セグメント6、6間の空隙からなる排気孔20(図2に示す)とから形成される。なお排気孔20として、さらに、前記セグメント6を半径方向内外に貫通する複数の小孔を均一に分散させて設けることもできる。
【0028】
又本例では、前記分岐孔19が前記スリーブ10の内端部10Aに形成される場合が例示されており、従って、分岐孔19からの圧縮空気は、前記スリーブ10とドラム軸5との間隙をへて密封状空間Hに導通する。このとき、分岐孔19を、前記導通孔17よりも小径に形成することが好ましく、これにより、ブラダー7の膨張遅れ、およびそれに伴うドラム両端からの空気の流出(漏れ)が過大となるのを防止できる。そのために、分岐孔19の断面積を導通孔17の断面積の5〜15%とするのが好ましい。
【0029】
然して、非縮径状態Y1の中央ドラム2の外周面上に円筒状タイヤ部材A2が形成され、かつその軸方向両端部にビードコアCがセットされた後、巻き上げ手段3が作動する。
【0030】
前記巻き上げ手段3のブラダー7は、空気流路15からの圧縮空気の流入によって膨張し、円筒状タイヤ部材A2の外側部分A2aをビードコアCの廻りで巻上げる。又これと同時に、ブラダー7は中央ドラム2との間を封止し、中央ドラム2の内部を密封化する。
【0031】
又前記空気流路15の圧縮空気は、その一部が分岐孔19から分岐され、密封状空間Hに流入された後、排気孔20を通って中央ドラム2と円筒状タイヤ部材A2との間に供給される。このとき、前記中央ドラム2内は密封状空間Hをなすため、内圧は圧縮空気圧である5〜80kPaまで上昇する。その結果、図5に略示する如く、円筒状タイヤ部材A2が前記内圧によって持ち上がり、中央ドラム2から剥離させることができる。
【0032】
このとき、前記内圧が全体に亘って均一に作用するため、剥離の際の円筒状タイヤ部材A2の変形がほとんどなく、前記カーカス4内の横糸の切断などを防止できる。又確実な剥離が達成できるため、取り出し不良の発生を抑制しうるとともに、取り出し作業能率を向上できる。
【0033】
ここで、前記圧縮空気圧が5kPa未満では、剥離効果を充分発揮することができず、逆に80kPaを越えると、高圧となりすぎ、ビードコアC,C間のカーカスコード長さがばらつく恐れが生じる。なお前記密封状空間Hの形成により、前記範囲の圧縮空気圧でも、剥離効果を充分に発揮することが可能となる。
【0034】
又この圧縮空気による剥離は、構造が簡易であり、又従来的なテフロン(デュポン社の商標)等の剥離処理を排除しうるため、コスト的にも有利である。さらに剥離効果に優れるため、タイヤ部材に特に粘着性の強いゴムを使用することも可能となる。
【0035】
以上、本発明の特に好ましい実施形態について詳述したが、本発明は図示の実施形態に限定されることなく、種々の態様に変形して実施しうる。

【実施例】
図1〜5に示す構造をなし、かつ表1の仕様の生タイヤ成形用フォーマを用いて、第1の生タイヤA3(図6に示す)を100本形成するとともに、その時の、中央ドラムからの取り出し不良の発生率、取り出し時の変形に伴う横糸切れの発生率、及び取り出し作業能率を従来例と比較し、その結果を表1に記載した。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
In the production process of the raw tire, the present invention can separate the tire member from the drum using compressed air when the tire member including the carcass formed in a cylindrical shape on the drum is taken out from the drum. The present invention relates to a raw tire molding former that can be taken out accurately and efficiently.
[0002]
[Prior art]
In the case of a tire having a radial structure, a belt or the like is applied after shaping the carcass in a toroid shape due to the cord arrangement angle. Therefore, in general, in a radial tire, as shown in FIG. 7, a first former f that is formed by winding a tire member A1 including a carcass into a cylindrical shape, and shaping the cylindrical tire member A2 in a toroid shape, and A so-called two-stage molding method using a second former (not shown) for molding a green tire by attaching a belt, tread rubber or the like to the crown portion is widely adopted.
[0003]
Further, in the first former f, as shown in the figure, a diameter-reducible central drum b that winds the tire member A1 to form a cylindrical tire member A2, and a cylindrical tire member disposed on both outer sides thereof. And a winding means having a bladder that winds the outer portion in the axial direction from the bead core C set at both axial ends of A2.
[0004]
And after the cylindrical tire member A3 (the tire members A1, A2, A3 are collectively referred to as a tire member A) in which the outer portion is wound up is taken out by the reduced diameter of the central drum b, It is transferred to the next second former.
[0005]
At this time, since the tire member A is thin and has strong adhesiveness, the tire member A is stuck to the central drum b, making it difficult to take out. On the other hand, sticking with the central drum b is indispensable for winding the tire member A into a cylindrical shape.
[0006]
Therefore, conventionally, the surface of the central drum b is partially subjected to a peeling treatment such as a Teflon (trademark of DuPont) or a sandblasting treatment to achieve both winding and removal of the tire member A. Yes.
[0007]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, in this partial peeling treatment, since the peeling between the tire member A and the central drum b is insufficient, the removal work efficiency is lowered. Also, when the tire member A is forcibly peeled off at the non-peeling portion, the deformation occurs, the weft yarn in the carcass is partially cut, and the carcass cord interval becomes non-uniform during shaping, which is the next process. It is also a cause of decline.
[0008]
Therefore, the present invention is based on the fact that a part of compressed air for expanding the bladder is supplied between the cylindrical tire member and the central drum, and this compressed air effectively separates the tire member from the central drum. It is an object of the present invention to provide a raw tire molding former that can perform the take-out operation with high accuracy and efficiency and can suppress a decrease in uniformity due to the take-out.
[0009]

[0011]
According to a third aspect of the present invention, the air flow path includes a conduction hole that allows compressed air to flow into the bladder to expand it,

[0012]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a front view of a raw tire molding former 1 according to the present invention.
[0013]
In FIG. 1, a raw tire molding former 1 (hereinafter referred to as former 1) is a first former used in a so-called two-stage molding method, and a cylindrical tire member A2 is formed by winding a sheet-like tire member A1. A central drum 2 that can be reduced in diameter, and winding means 3 disposed on both sides thereof.
[0014]
The central drum 2 is a cylindrical body rotatably supported by a drum shaft 5 (shown in FIG. 1), and is equally divided in the circumferential direction as shown in FIG. Each segment 6 is supported by a diameter-reducing means (not shown) having a known structure so as to be movable inward in the radial direction.
[0015]
In addition, the said segment 6 has the circumferential direction end surface 6S which inclines with the angle (theta) of 30-60 degrees, for example with respect to a radial direction line, and adjoins each end surface 6S to each other, and is perfect circle shape in this example. It is possible to move between the non-diameter-reduced state Y1 to be connected and the reduced-diameter state Y2 in which the diameter of the outer peripheral surface S is substantially reduced by folding the adjacent circumferential end surfaces 6S displaced inward and outward in the radial direction.
[0016]
Then, as shown in FIG. 3, in the non-diametered state Y <b> 1 of the central drum 2, a cylindrical tire member A <b> 2 formed by winding the tire member A <b> 1 is formed on the outer peripheral surface S, and its axial direction A bead core C is set at both ends.
[0017]
Here, the tire member A1 includes at least the carcass 4 and is usually constituted by the carcass 4 and an inner liner (not shown) made of low air permeability rubber disposed on the inner side in the radial direction. The axial width of the carcass 4 is wider than that of the central drum 2. Therefore, the tire member A1 is wound so that at least both axial ends including the carcass 4 protrude from both ends of the drum.
[0018]
In the former 1, the protruding portion is pressed inward in the radial direction from the outer peripheral surface S using an appropriate pressing tool (not shown), and then the bead core C is moved inward from the outer side in the tire axial direction. By moving and pressing the side surface of the bead core C against the tire member A2, the bead core C is fixed to the drum end surface using the adhesive force of the tire member A2.
[0019]
Thereafter, the winding means 3 is used to wind the axially outer portion A2a from the bead core C around the bead core C to form a cylindrical first green tire A3 (shown in FIG. 6).
[0020]
As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the winding means 3 includes a bladder 7 that is expanded by the flow of compressed air and winds up the outer portion A 2 a around the bead core C. This bladder 7 is attached to the drum shaft 5. It is supported via the support fitting 9.
[0021]
In this example, the support fitting 9 includes a cylindrical sleeve 10 that is externally inserted into the drum shaft 5, a substantially disc-shaped side plate 11 that rises radially outward from the axial inner end thereof, A cylindrical bladder receiver 12 extends concentrically with the drum shaft 5 from the radially outer end toward the axially outer side. The sleeve 10 is fixed to the drum shaft 5 by a retaining ring 13 provided on the drum shaft 5. Further, in the radially outer end of the side plate 11, fitting recesses 11A and 11B for fitting and fixing both edges of the bladder 7 are formed at different positions inside and outside in the axial direction.
[0022]
As is well known, the bladder 7 is a bag-like body made of an elastic material such as rubber, and is normally folded and held in a substantially cylindrical shape along the outer peripheral surface of the bladder receiver 12, and compressed air. It expands in a toroidal shape by inflow.
[0023]
Here, what is important for the bladder 7 is that, when the outer portion A2a of the cylindrical tire member A2 is wound up by the expansion, the bladder 7 hermetically seals between the central drum 2 and the bladder 7. . Therefore, in this example, the insertion recess 11A on the inner side in the axial direction is arranged on the inner side in the axial direction with respect to the outer end of the central drum 2 so that the bladder 7 is in pressure contact with the inner peripheral surface of the central drum 2 during expansion. It is configured.
[0024]
At this time, since the outer peripheral surface S of the central drum 2 is covered with the cylindrical tire member A2, the inside of the central drum 2 is formed as a sealed space H by sealing both ends by the bladder 7. The Rukoto.
[0025]
The support fitting 9 is provided with an air flow path 15 through which compressed air flows into the bladder 7. The air flow path 15 includes an annular air chamber 16 formed in the sleeve 10, and a conduction hole 17 passing from the air chamber 16 through the axial inner end 10 A of the sleeve 10 and the side plate 11. The conduction hole 17 opens between the insertion recesses 11A and 11B. The air chamber 16 is connected to a high pressure air source via an air valve or the like.
[0026]
Further, in the present embodiment, the air flow path 15 is provided with a branch air passage 18 that branches the compressed air and supplies it between the central drum 2 and the cylindrical tire member A2.
[0027]
In this example, the branch air passage 18 is branched from the conduction hole 17 to conduct a part of the compressed air to the sealed space H, the sealed space H, and the segments 6 and 6. It is formed from an exhaust hole 20 (shown in FIG. 2) consisting of a gap therebetween. In addition, as the exhaust hole 20, a plurality of small holes penetrating the segment 6 inward and outward in the radial direction can be uniformly dispersed.
[0028]
In this example, the case where the branch hole 19 is formed in the inner end portion 10 </ b> A of the sleeve 10 is illustrated. Therefore, the compressed air from the branch hole 19 is separated from the gap between the sleeve 10 and the drum shaft 5. And is conducted to the sealed space H. At this time, it is preferable that the branch hole 19 is formed to have a smaller diameter than that of the conduction hole 17, so that the expansion delay of the bladder 7 and the accompanying air outflow (leakage) from both ends of the drum become excessive. Can be prevented. Therefore, the cross-sectional area of the branch hole 19 is preferably 5 to 15% of the cross-sectional area of the conduction hole 17.
[0029]
However, after the cylindrical tire member A2 is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the center drum 2 in the non-diametered state Y1, and the bead cores C are set at both ends in the axial direction, the winding means 3 operates.
[0030]
The bladder 7 of the winding means 3 expands by the inflow of compressed air from the air flow path 15 and winds up the outer portion A2a of the cylindrical tire member A2 around the bead core C. At the same time, the bladder 7 seals between the central drum 2 and seals the inside of the central drum 2.
[0031]
A part of the compressed air in the air passage 15 is branched from the branch hole 19 and flows into the sealed space H, and then passes through the exhaust hole 20 between the central drum 2 and the cylindrical tire member A2. To be supplied. At this time, since the inside of the central drum 2 forms a sealed space H, the internal pressure rises to 5 to 80 kPa, which is a compressed air pressure. As a result, as schematically shown in FIG. 5, the cylindrical tire member A <b> 2 can be lifted by the internal pressure and peeled off from the central drum 2.
[0032]
At this time, since the internal pressure acts uniformly throughout, there is almost no deformation of the cylindrical tire member A2 at the time of peeling, and cutting of the weft yarn in the carcass 4 can be prevented. Moreover, since reliable peeling can be achieved, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of defective takeout and improve the takeout efficiency.
[0033]
Here, if the compressed air pressure is less than 5 kPa, the peeling effect cannot be exhibited sufficiently. Conversely, if the compressed air pressure exceeds 80 kPa, the pressure becomes too high and the carcass cord length between the bead cores C and C may vary. The formation of the sealed space H can sufficiently exert the peeling effect even with the compressed air pressure in the above range.
[0034]
Moreover, this peeling with compressed air is advantageous in terms of cost because the structure is simple and the conventional peeling treatment such as Teflon (trademark of DuPont) can be eliminated. Further, since the peeling effect is excellent, it is possible to use rubber having particularly strong adhesiveness for the tire member.
[0035]
As mentioned above, although especially preferable embodiment of this invention was explained in full detail, this invention is not limited to embodiment of illustration, It can deform | transform and implement in a various aspect.
