Tire vulcanization device and method

A tire vulcanizing method, comprising:

• attaching a vulcanization mold to a vulcanization container;
• disposing a green tire transversely inside the vulcanization mold and installing the vulcanization mold to surround a center mechanism inserted vertically through a cylindrical vulcanization bladder with the vulcanization mold open;
• and,
• vulcanizing a green tire with the vulcanization mold closed,
• the method further comprising:
• providing dividing walls that are disposed on an outer circumferential side of a container ring forming the vulcanization container, form a space with the vulcanization container, and hermetically block communication between inside and outside of the vulcanization container in a closed state of the vulcanization mold;
• providing, in the center mechanism, a center vent path vertically extending through a center post;
• providing, in the vulcanization mold, a plurality of mold interior vent paths extending at intervals in a circumferential direction in a plan view to communicate between a tire molding surface and an attachment surface that is respective to a container component forming the vulcanization container;
• and,
• providing, in the container component, a container interior vent path extending in the container components to communicate between an opposing surface opposing the attachment surface and the space,
• when the vulcanization mold is closed, the center vent path, each of the mold interior vent paths, the container interior vent path, and the space being allowed to be in communication, and by an air suction machine disposed outside the vulcanization container and connected to a lower end portion of the center vent path, air that is present inside the vulcanization mold being suctioned through the mold interior vent path and the container interior vent path that are in communication.
