Tires are produced through a cutting process, a molding process, a vulcanizing process and an inspection process. The cutting step is a step of cutting the rolled material to a predetermined width and angle, and the forming step is a step of assembling the cut semi-finished product. Then, in order to improve the physical properties of the tire, a vulcanization process of applying heat and pressure to the formed tire proceeds. The inspection process is a process for inspecting the performance of the manufactured tire.

The vulcanization process is carried out by applying heat and pressure to the inside and outside of the tire by putting the tire into the vulcanizer. Steam is used as the heat source, and inert gas is used as the pressure source.

However, tires have various semi-finished products according to their performance goals, and the curing speed and curing time are different for each semi-finished product individually. Although a vulcanization process is required to optimize the performance of such semi-finished products, there arises a problem that it is difficult for all semi-finished products to exhibit optimum performance only by the vulcanization process.

FIG. 5 is a view illustrating an example of a process of applying the after-tire-after-wheel-drive device of FIG. 1, and FIG. 6 is a flowchart illustrating a method of manufacturing a tire according to another aspect of the present invention.

The tire may be manufactured by a refining process, a compression process, a rolling process, a molding process, a vulcanizing process and a post-flow process.

The refining process is a process of mixing natural rubber, which is a raw material, with various chemicals such as carbon black (carbon black) and sulfur (sulfur), which are a type of black pigment. The refining step is a step of compounding the rubber composition. The extrusion process is a process of extruding the rubber composition blended in the refining process. The rolling process is a process of topping the extruded rubber composition to a cord or a wire.

The molding step S10 is a step of molding a green tire by combining a rubber composition for a rolling process, a cord or a wire with a molding machine. When the tire is molded in the first chamber 10, it flows into the second chamber 20 for vulcanization by a moving means 50 such as a conveyor.

In the vulcanizing step (S20), the green tire manufactured in the molding step (S10) is put into a mold, and high pressure and high heat are applied for a predetermined time, and the vulcanizing system introduced during the compounding process can be reacted. In the vulcanization step (S20), sulfur and rubber molecules in the green tire are chemically bonded to each other to obtain stable inherent properties. When the vulcanization process (S20) is completed, the transfer means (50) such as a conveyor is moved to the third chamber (30) for a backflow.

 After the vulcanizing step (S20), the backwashing step (S30) can irradiate the green tire with microwaves. When the backwashing process (S30) proceeds, the physical properties of the tire change, and the rolling resistance can be improved.

Hereinafter, changes in physical properties of the tire 1 can be explained by irradiating the tire 1 with microwaves.

The physical properties of the sample 2 of Comparative Example 2 were measured, the tire of the rubber composition of Sample 2 was irradiated with a microwave of 2.45 GHz at 1 W / g for 1 minute and 20 seconds, respectively, for 2 minutes and 40 seconds Respectively.

The rubber compositions obtained in Comparative Example 1, Comparative Example 2, Example 1 and Example 2 were evaluated for hardness (Shore A), 300% modulus, and tensile strength according to the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) (kgf / cm 2), elongation (%), and viscoelasticity (tan 60 °) were measured. The results are shown in Tables 2 and 3 above.

The higher the hardness is, the harder it is. Tensile properties (tensile strength, elongation) indicate that the higher the numerical value, the better the running property of the tire. Viscoelasticity (tan δ 60˚) indicates that the lower the value, the better the rolling resistance of the tire.

Table 2 and Table 3 show that when the tire is irradiated with microwave, the tensile properties of the sidewall and tread increase and the viscoelasticity decreases.

The rotational resistance of the tire when the tire traveled at a speed of 60 km / h or 80 km / h was measured according to the rotational resistance test method (ISO 28580) in the tire running performance. The results are shown in Table 4 below. The lower the value of the rolling resistance, the better the rolling resistance.

As shown in Table 4, it can be confirmed that the rolling resistance of the tire is lowered by performing the post-flow process on the sample 1 and the sample 2. That is, the performance of a tire can be improved by a backwash process.

The after-tire-flow-supply device 100 can improve the physical properties of the tire by irradiating microwaves to the vulcanized tire. The after-tire-flow-supply device 100 can improve the rolling resistance of the tire.

The tire after-wheel flow device 100 is installed so that the irradiation part rotates on the central axis, and can irradiate the front surface of the tire with microwaves. Further, the after-tire-wheel feed device 100 can irradiate the microwaves of different wavelengths according to the respective regions of the tire, thereby effectively changing the properties of the respective regions of the tire.

The tire manufacturing method can produce tires with improved rolling resistance or viscoelasticity by irradiating microwaves to vulcanized tires.
