Abstract

To determine the magnitude of variation in predetermined quality in a longitudinal direction of an elongated tire member formed by bonding a plurality of types of constituent members, X-rays are applied to a predetermined length range of a tire member, which is elongated, from a top surface side of the tire member while conveying the tire member in a longitudinal direction using a conveying device to acquire image data based on X-ray transmittance of the predetermined length range. The image data is input into a calculation device. Based on contrast in the image data, the magnitude of variation in the dimension in the width direction of a constituent member in the longitudinal direction is calculated by the calculation device, the constituent member being formed of unvulcanized rubber having a larger mass and a higher content rate of a specific component in the tire member.

Continuously performed is a process of applying, by an X-ray inspection device, X-rays to a predetermined length range from a top surface side of a tire member while conveying the tire member in a longitudinal direction by using a conveying device to acquire image data based on X-ray transmittance. The image data of the predetermined length range continuous without gaps in the longitudinal direction is acquired. Based on contrast in each piece of the image data, a magnitude of variation in the longitudinal direction of a distribution of a constituent member formed of unvulcanized rubber having a larger mass and a higher content rate of a specific component in the tire member is calculated by a calculation device. The variation is corrected by controlling, based on the magnitude of the variation, a rotation speed of a screw disposed in at least one extruder by a control device.

Abstract

Among a plurality of circumferential grooves 30 provided in a pneumatic tire 1, an inner shoulder circumferential groove 31, which is the innermost circumferential groove 30 in a vehicle mounting direction, and an inner center circumferential groove 32, which is a circumferential groove 30 adjacent to the inner shoulder circumferential groove 31, are positioned on an inner side in the vehicle mounting direction with respect to a tire equatorial plane CL. The inner shoulder circumferential groove 31 satisfies the relationship A > B between a groove wall angle A of a groove wall 31a positioned closer to the inner side in the vehicle mounting direction and a groove wall angle B of the groove wall 31a positioned closer to an outer side in the vehicle mounting direction. The groove wall angle A is in the range of 13° to 20°, and the groove wall angle B is in the range of 8° to 12°. For the inner center circumferential groove 32, a groove wall angle C of a groove wall 32a positioned closer to the inner side in the vehicle mounting direction and a groove wall angle D of the groove wall 32a positioned closer to the outer side in the vehicle mounting direction are both in the range of 8° to 12°; therefore, the pneumatic tire 1 can achieve both NV performance and wet performance.

Each material is stocked in a wound state in a plurality of supply units placed side by side. A pair of bead members MC is stocked in a plurality of bead supply units 11. The materials each cut into a predetermined size are supplied to a band drum 3 and a belt drum 4 with supply conveyors via slide conveyors to mold an inner-periphery-side member MA and an outer-periphery-side member MB. In a shaping drum 2, the inner-periphery-side member MA, the outer-periphery-side member MB, and a pair of bead members MC are used to mold a green tire G. During the conveyance of the materials, the axial centers C1 of the drums 2 and 3 are set coaxial and the axial centers C2 of the drums 3 and 4 are set coaxial. While each material is being supplied from one supply unit, the other supply unit being empty is replaced by a supply unit stocked with the material.

Abstract

Provided are a production device and method with which it is possible to produce a high-quality cylindrical tire member with excellent productivity by smoothly and quickly supplying a belt-form tire material, which is supplied in a flat state by a plurality of conveyors arranged in parallel, to a molding drum body and accurately positioning the tire material in the drum width direction. An upper structure part 4 that includes a molding drum body 6 is disposed on a base part 3. The base part 3 and the upper structure part 4 are connected by a vertical movement mechanism 9. A slide movement mechanism 8 moves a drum unit 2, which includes the base part 3, the upper structure part 4, and the vertical movement mechanism 9, as an integrated unit in the drum width direction. The vertical movement mechanism 9 moves the upper structure part 4 in the vertical direction to move the molding drum body 6 to a winding position. At the winding position, a drum movement mechanism 7 separate from the slide movement mechanism 8 moves the molding drum body 6 in the drum width direction to wind tire materials M1, M2 around the molding drum body 6 while correcting any variation in the drum-width-direction positions of the tire materials M1, M2.
