Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method o'f manufacturing tyres for vehicle wheels.
- the invention also relates to an apparatus for manufacturing tyres for vehicle wheels. .
- a tyre for vehicle wheels generally comprises a carcass structure comprising at least one carcass ply having respectively opposite end flaps looped back around annular anchoring structures, usually each. formed of a substantially circumferential inner insert onto which at least one filling insert is applied, at a radially external position.
- a belt structure comprising one or more belt layers placed in radial superposed relationship with respect to - -each other and the carcass ply and having textile or metallic reinforcing cords with a c'rossed orientation and/or substantially parallel to the circumferential- extension direction of the tyre.
- a tread band is applied which is made of elastomer material like other semifinished products constituting the tyre.
- elastomer material it is intended a composition comprising at least one elastomer polymer and at least one reinforcing • filler'.
- this- composition further comprises additives such as cross-linking agents and/or plasticizers . Due to the presence of cross-linking agents, this material can be cross-linked through heating so as to form the final article of manufacture.
- each extending from one of the side edges of the tread band until close to the respective annular anchoring structure to the beads are respective sidewalls of elastomer material that, depending on the different embodiments, can have respective radially external end edges that are superposed on the side edges of the tread band to form a design scheme of the type usually called "overlying sidewalls", or interposed between the carcass structure and the side edges of the tread band itself, in accordance with a design scheme of the type referred to as "underlying sidewalls" .
- the carcass structure and belt structure are provided to be made separately of each other in respective work stations, to be mutually assembled at a later time:
- manufacture of the carcass structure first contemplates deposition of the carcass ply or plies on a first drum usually identified as "building drum” to form a cylindrical sleeve.
- the annular anchoring structures to the beads are fitted or formed on the opposite end flaps of the carcass ply or plies that in turn are turned up around the annular structures themselves so as to enclose them in a sort of loop.
- an outer sleeve is made which comprises the belt layers laid down in radially superposed relationship with each other (and optionally the tread band applied to the belt layers at a radially external position) .
- the outer sleeve is then picked up from the auxiliary drum to be coupled with the carcass sleeve.
- the outer sleeve is disposed in coaxial relation around the carcass sleeve, and afterwards the carcass ply or plies are shaped into a toroidal conformation by axially moving the beads close to each other- and simultaneously admitting fluid under pressure into the carcass sleeve, so as to determine application of the belt ring (and optionally of the tread band) to the carcass structure of the tyre at a radially external position thereof.
- Assembling of the carcass sleeve with the outer sleeve can be carried out on the same drum as used for building the carcass sleeve, in which case reference is made _ to a "unistage building process".
- a building process of this type is described in document US 3,990,931, for example.
- application of so-called "underbelt inserts" interposed between the carcass structure and belt structure is provided.
- underbelt insert it is intended a substantially circumferential insert preferably of elastomer material that is interposed between the carcass structure and belt structure of the tyre; these inserts are preferably present in pairs and each insert is positioned close to each tyre shoulder.
- one or more lengths of appropriate cross-section conformation, cut from a continuous strip of extruded elastomer material are circumferentially applied to the cylindrical sleeve formed on the building drum.
- the underbelt inserts are submitted to a circumferential stretching action imposed by the expansion of the carcass structure, and they modify their orientation in such a manner that, at the end of the shaping step, they form a substantially continuous surface with a radially external portion of the carcass ply, which surface is adapted to evenly bear against the radially internal surface of the belt structure.

- Winding takes place at a position radially external to the belt structure 4 assembled on the auxiliary drum 14 5 which is maintained in rotation, while a controlled axial movement of the auxiliary drum itself and/or the unit supplying the elongated element causes distribution of the coils in a manner adapted to give the thread band 5 the desired final conformation.
- Apparatus 1 further comprises a transfer member 15 movable between the primary drum 13 and auxiliary drum 14 along the mutual alignment direction of same, to transfer the belt structure 4, together with the tread
- the transfer member 15 can be provided, for example, with radially movable gripping elements 16 to pick up the belt structure 4 from the auxiliary drum 14 after possible radial contraction of the latter, and retain it in a coaxially centred
- the carcass structure 3 and the above described shaping step are both, in a preferential embodiment, carried out on the same primary drum 13, following a so-called "unistage” building process, it is also possible for the carcass structure 3 to be made on a distinct building drum separated from the primary drum 13, to be subsequently disposed on the primary drum itself that will perform the functions of a shaping drum following a building process of the so-called "two-stage" type.
- the tread band 5 may be obtained by spiralling of at least one elongated element of elastomer material, i.e. by winding a plurality of substantially circumferential coils of said elongated element, while said elongated element is supplied from an appropriate feeding unit, such as an extruder, at a radially external position to the belt structure, said belt structure being assembled on a tyre being processed which is ) shaped into a toroidal conformation by said shaping drum.

- Apparatus 1 further comprises devices for applying at least one .underbelt insert 11 to the belt structure 4.
- these application devices 17 operate close to the auxiliary drum 14, or in any case separately of the ' primary drum 13, to associate the underbelt inserts 11 with the belt structure 4 during assembling of the belt structure itself when the latter is still axially spaced apart from the carcass structure 3.
- the application devices 17 comprise - an expandable support 18 and actuator members to radially expand the expandable support between a first operating condition, at which it has a reduced diameter, and a second operating condition at which it has an increased diameter.
- the expandable support 18 preferably comprises an inflatable bladder 19 having opposite end flaps engaged, preferably in a sealing manner, along the circumferential edges of respective axially opposite attachment . flanges 20 that are movable close to and away from each other.
- the inflatable bladder 19 can advantageously consist of a layer of Vulcanised elastomer material incorporating textile or metallic reinforcing cords each extending between the opposite edges of the inflatable bladder 19, between one of the attachment flanges 20 and the other.
- the attachment flanges 20 are in mutual engagement by means of respective axial toothing sets 20a mutually conjugated and supplying a substantially continuous support seat for the inflatable bladder 19 when the expandable support is in the first operating condition.
- the axial toothing sets 20a are free to slide relative to each other to allow the flanges to axially move close to and away from each other.
- Said actuator members are set to feed a fluid under pressure into the inflatable bladder 19, concurrently with movement of the attachment flanges 20 close to each other.
- the expandable support 18 may comprise a drum of the mechanical type- the cylindrical abutment surface of which has circumferentially distributed apertures through which radially movable sectors operate, being controlled by actuator members comprising appropriate lever articulated systems.
- each underbelt insert 11 has a substantially triangular or trapezoidal cross-section outline, with a major side applied against the surface of the expandable support 18 and two minor (axially inner and axially outer, respectively) sides mutually converging radially away from the • expandable support 18.
- the minor sides, the axially inner and axially outer one- respectively, on the circumferential extension of the underbelt insert 11 respectively subtend the axially inner portion 11a arranged to be
- the underbelt inserts can be applied to the expandable support 18 in the form of already structured and sized semifinished products, as shown in Fig. 3a. '
- each underbelt insert 11 can be made by spiralling at least one preferably continuous elongated element of elastomer material, i.e. by winding said elongated element supplied from an appropriate feeding unit - such as an extruder into substantially circumferential coils. Winding takes place at a position radially external to the expandable support 18 continuously driven in rotation, . while a controlled axial movement of the expandable support and/or the unit feeding the elongated element causes distribution of the. coils in a manner adapted to give the underbelt insert 11 the desired final conformation.
- the underbelt inserts 11 are simultaneously applied to the expandable support 18 when the latter is in the first operating condition of smaller diametrical bulkiness, with the inflatable bladder 19 substantially extended in a cylindrical conformation, in bearing relationship on the axial toothing sets 20a.
- the attachment flanges 20 are moved mutually close, concurrently with admission of fluid under pressure into the inflatable bladder 19 upon the action of said actuator members, so that the bladder takes a toroidal configuration, as shown in Figs. 4 and 8.
- the underbelt inserts are submitted to elongation in the circumferential extension direction, due to an increase in diameter imposed to them.
- each of the underbelt inserts 11 is submitted to an angular rotation bringing its axially internal side of smaller extension defining the axially internal portion' 11a, to take an orientation substantially parallel to the geometric axis of the expandable support 18.
- the expandable support 18 constitutes a component distinct from the auxiliary drum 14 and is located at a position axially spaced apart from the latter.
- the belt structure 4, possibly provided with the tread band 5, formed on the auxiliary drum 14 is then picked up by the transfer device 15 and positioned in coaxial relationship around the expandable support 18 carrying the underbelt inserts 11, as viewed from Fig. 3.
- the underbelt inserts 11 have the respective axially inner portions disposed in " an orientation substantially parallel to the inner surface of the belt structure 4, so as to obtain a uniform coupling between the underbelt inserts 11 and belt structure .
- This operation can be carried out with the aid of rollers 21 or other suitable devices, that can directly act on the belt structure 4 or the tread band 5 applied to said belt structure; in the last-mentioned case a pressing effect of the tread band 5 against the belt structure 4 is also simultaneously obtained.
- the presence of bending devices operating on the expandable support may be also provided, said devices being set to bend the side edges 5a of the tread band 5 to make them adhere against the respective axially outer portions lib of the underbelt inserts 11 associated with the belt structure.
- these bending , devices can be represented by the rollers 21 themselves or equivalent members used for pressing the belt structure 4 and/or tread band 5, that are axially and/or radially movable in accordance with the outline to be given to the tread band 5.
- the transfer member 15 picks up the belt structure 4, together with the underbelt inserts 11 and the tread band 5, from the expandable support 18 to transfer the assembly onto the primary drum 13, for assembling the same to the carcass structure 3 that has been meanwhile made or " engaged thereon in any convenient manner.
- the halves 13a of the primary drum 13 are mutually approached simultaneously with admission of a fluid into the carcass ply 10, so as to shape the carcass structure into a toroidal configuration.
- the consequent radial expansion of the carcass ply 10 brings the latter to adhere against the inner surface of the belt structure 4, retained by the transfer member 15.
- the definitive application of the apices of the side edges 5a of the tread band 5 against the radially external ends of the sidewalls 6 is caused.
- the expandable support 18 and auxiliary drum 14 are substantially integrated with each other.
- the abutment surface 14a of the auxiliary drum 14 is represented by the expandable support 18 itself, and more specifically by the outer surface of the inflatable bladder 19.
- the assembling sequence of tyre 2 first contemplates application of the underbelt inserts 11 to the expandable support 18 set in the first operating condition, as shown in Fig. 7, and subsequently radial expansion of the support itself to prepare the underbelt inserts 11 for junction with the belt structure 4, as shown in Fig. 8.
- This junction is carried out concurrently with assembling of the belt structure 4, carried out after the radial expansion step, through winding of the belt layer or layers 12a, 12b directly around the expandable support 18 set in the second operating condition, as shown in Fig. 9.
- manufacture of tyre 2 is completed following coupling between the carcass structure 3 and belt structure 4.
- underbelt inserts 11 to the belt structure 4 in fact enables times required for the operations to be carried out at the primary drum 13 and at the auxiliary drum 14 respectively, for tyre- manufacturing purposes, to be balanced.
- the step of shaping the carcass structure 3 is not affected by the presence of the underbelt inserts 11 that, in the known art, can jeopardise a correct expansion of the carcass ply or plies 10.
- the present invention eliminates all the above mentioned problems and also allows the underbelt inserts 11 to be laid on an expandable support 18 that, in the first operating condition, has a size closer to the final diameter under an expanded condition, so as to impose less deformations to the inserts.
