TIRE-FORMING MACHINE CONNECTOR APPARATUS AND CONNECTOR HANDLING METHOD THEREFOR

摘要

The tire-forming machine connector apparatus and a connector handling method therefor of the present invention, by integratively arranging a composite part-pressing apparatus and a ply-suturing apparatus on a same connecting frame, and by conveying a relevant actuator mechanism to a designated station on a carcass drum via an overhead conveyor apparatus, simplify the overall number of components and installation space required. The connector apparatus comprises: a connector apparatus connecting frame, which is actuated by a connecting frame actuator apparatus to slide axially along a gantry and to hold vertically above the carcass drum; the composite part-pressing apparatus, which is hosted on the connector apparatus connecting frame via a composite part frame body; the composite part-pressing apparatus is provided with an axial pressing actuator apparatus and a vertical pressing actuator apparatus for controlling and actuating a platen roller component to hold at a composite station on the carcass drum; and the ply-suturing apparatus, which is hosted on the connector apparatus connecting frame via a suturing main frame bracket; the ply-suturing apparatus is provided with an axial suturing actuator apparatus and a perpendicular suturing actuator apparatus for controlling and actuating a suturing wheel component to hold at a suturing station on the carcass drum.
