Abstract
A tire manufacturing device includes: a molding drum; a first moving portion in which the molding drum moves in order to mold an inner liner layer on the molding drum; a second moving portion in which the molding drum moves in order to mold a ply layer on the inner liner layer; a stitcher position where a carcass band is formed by performing pressing from above the ply layer laminated on the inner liner layer; and a transfer position where the carcass band is transferred from the molding drum to a transport device that transports the carcass band to a subsequent process, and the stitcher position and the transfer position are adjacent to each other.
Claims4
A tire manufacturing device, comprising:
- a molding drum;
- a first moving portion in which the molding drum moves in order to mold an inner liner layer on the molding drum;
- a second moving portion in which the molding drum moves in order to mold a ply layer on the inner liner layer;
- a stitcher device having a main body with a circular hole and a plurality of rollers for pressing the ply layer, the plurality of rollers forming an annular ring along a circumferential direction of the circular hole;
- a stitcher position where the molding drum is positioned in an inner diameter of the annular ring formed by the plurality of rollers and a carcass band is formed by the stitcher device performing pressing from above the ply layer laminated on the inner liner layer;
- and
- a transfer position where the carcass band is transferred from the molding drum to a transport device that transports the carcass band to a subsequent process, wherein
- the stitcher position and the transfer position are adjacent to each other,
- the molding drum is movable from the stitcher position to the transfer position, and
- the stitcher device hangs from a rail and is movable between the stitcher position and a standby position along the rail, the standby position being different from the stitcher position and disconnected from a path of movement of the molding drum from the stitcher position to the transfer position.
