50 results about "Retread" patented technology

Retread, also known as "recap", or a "remold" is a re-manufacturing process for tires that replace the tread on worn tires. Retreading is applied to casings of spent tires that have been inspected and repaired. It preserves about 90% of the material in spent tires and the material cost is about 20% compared to manufacturing a new one.

Tire buffing apparatus

A tire buffer for buffing a tire casing as part of a retread operation can include a rasp pedestal having a rasp head and a texturing device. A moving assembly can be connected to the rasp pedestal for selectively moving the rasp pedestal along a pair of perpendicular axes. The rasp pedestal can rotate about a vertical axis. A tire hub assembly can be included for rotating the tire casing. The tire buffer can be operated at an operator station by interfacing with a control unit. The tire buffer can automatically buff a tire casing to achieve a predetermined tire casing profile and impart a texture thereto. The tire buffer includes a tire location mechanism and a tire measurement mechanism mounted to the rasp pedestal. The control unit can monitor an operating parameter of the rasp pedestal or the tire hub assembly during the buffing sequence, compare the actual value of the operating parameter to a predetermined target value of the parameter, and adjust an operating characteristic of the rasp pedestal, the tire hub assembly, or both such that the actual value of the operating parameter is urged toward the calculated target value of the operating parameter.

Tire with detectable carcass cushion layer and use thereof to facilitate tire carcass retreading

This invention relates to a retreadable tire which contains a non-black colored rubber carcass cushion layer sandwiched between its tire tread and tire casing. The non-black colored rubber carcass cushion layer acts both as an adhesive and transition layer for adhering a cured or uncured tire tread to the cured tire carcass. Such carcass cushion layer also acts as a detectable color indictor for indexing and monitoring a complete removal (e.g. by buffing, abrading, or cutting) of the circumferential rubber tire tread and partial removal of the carcass cushion layer without removing the entire carcass cushion layer. The invention also relates to a method of retreading a cured rubber tire carcass by completely removing a circumferential, carbon black reinforced (and therefor a black colored) tire rubber tread together with a partial removal of the contrastingly colored cured rubber carcass cushion layer to a depth indexed and / or determined by an automated rubber cushion layer color sensing means, or apparatus, followed by applying a non-black colored uncured circumferential rubber carcass cushion layer and carbon black reinforced (therefore black colored) tire tread thereon to form an assembly thereof and vulcanizing the assembly in a suitable mold to form a retread tire.

Vehicle tyre management method and device for internet of vehicles

The invention discloses a vehicle tyre management method and a device for the internet of vehicles. The method comprises the steps of reading an RFID tag inside a tyre by an RFID read-write device to acquire the ID information of the tyre; based on the ID information of the tyre, searching the data parameters of the tyre in a database, wherein the data parameters are composed of at least one of the following parameters: the basic data of the tyre, the quality condition of the tyre, the pressure of the tyre, the usage time, the driving mileage and the retread number of times; processing the data parameters of the tyre to generate the suggestion information, wherein the suggestion information is composed of at least one of the following parameters: the retread time of the tyre, the maximum retread number of times of the tyre, the suitable road surface of the tyre, the service life of the tyre, and the maximum safety driving mileage of the tyre; and sending the at least one suggestion information to user equipment. According to the technical scheme of the invention, the problem in the prior art that since a tyre cannot be effectively monitored, the tyre is excessively utilized to be shortened in service life can be solved. Meanwhile, the problems in the prior art that the resource is wasted due to the unreasonable replacement of the tyre and the occurrence of traffic accidents due to the non-timely replacement of the tyre are also solved.

Method and apparatus for improved tread splicing

ActiveUS20110186198A1Low variabilityIncreasing retread tire performanceLamination ancillary operationsLaminationRetreadCushion
A method of cutting a length of tire tread for a retread tire includes measuring a circumference of the tire casing and cushion gum, and dispensing a length of tire tread from a roll based on the measured circumference. The length of tire tread relative to a tread cutter is adjusted so that the tire tread design at the point where the tread may be cut is between a set of marks formed in the periodically repeating tread design. The tread is then cut along a linear length of the tread disposed within the marks so that the periodically repeating tread pattern appears substantially continuous across a seam defined when the section of tire tread is wrapped around the casing such that the first and second ends meet in abutting relationship.

Retreaded tire

ActiveUS20120308793A1Excellently maintaining adhesionAvoid layeringSynthetic resin layered productsTyresHigh intensityEngineering
Provided is a retreaded tire that uses cushion rubber for retread that is able to further improve the prevention of separation failure while effectively suppressing blowout within the cushion rubber layer. The retreaded tire includes cushion rubber for retread, a base tire, and precured tread rubber formed of at least one rubber layer, and is characterized by: the aforementioned cushion rubber for retreaded tires being formed from a rubber composition containing specific quantities of a highly reinforcing carbon black of at least HAF grade, and natural rubber and / or synthetic polyisoprene rubber; the 100% modulus (AM) of the rubber layer (A) that comprises the aforementioned cushion rubber for retread being at least 3.0 MPa and less than 6.0 MPa; and the outermost layer (B) of the aforementioned base tire and the innermost layer (C) of the aforementioned precured tread rubber being formed from a rubber composition containing specific quantities of natural rubber and / or synthetic polyisoprene rubber.
