Tire pattern automatic engraving system and method

Abstract

The invention provides an automatic engraving system and method for tire patterns. The system comprises a positioning camera, an upper computer, a mechanical arm, a carving table, an inflation capsule, a laser carving assembly and an inflation supporting plate. The positioning camera is used for shooting a top view image of a smooth tire. The upper computer determines the position information of the smooth tire according to the top view of the smooth tire; according to the position information of the smooth tire, the mechanical arm is controlled to grab the smooth tire, and the periphery of the inflation capsule is sleeved with the smooth tire; the inflation capsule is inflated with air; when the inflation capsule is controlled to rotate, the laser engraving assembly is used for engraving the smooth tire to obtain a finished tire; the inflation supporting plate is matched with the inflation capsule to detach the finished tire from the inflation capsule. According to the full-automatic engraving machine, the problems that the mold demand is large, the mold replacement time is long, the mold replacement labor cost is high, and the tire attractiveness degree is reduced are solved, full-automatic engraving of tire patterns is achieved, and the tire manufacturing efficiency is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of tire manufacturing, in particular to a tire pattern automatic carving system and method. Background technique [0002] At present in the tire industry, when the tire tread generates patterns, the main method used is to heat the mold at high temperature, and utilize the heated mold to squeeze and deform the tread of the smooth tire to produce patterns. [0003] There are some problems in the existing method: the cost of the mold is high, and the cost of a single mold is between 0.6-1w. For the production factory, the mold reserve is usually 5-10 times the number of molds produced on the machine. The annual development The number of molds is 0.25-0.5 times of the number of molds produced on the machine, and the capital occupation and return on investment period is longer; the mold change time is long, usually 6 hours; the labor cost of the mold replacement process is high, and each time 2-3 people, in a la...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0004] In view of the above problems, the present invention provides an automatic tire pattern carving system and method, which automatically moves the slick tire to the tire carving area through a mechanical arm, and uses a laser to carry out pattern carving on the tread without manual participation in the whole process, which solves the problem of mold Problems such as large demand, long mold replacement time, high labor cost for mold replacement, and decreased aesthetics of tires
