VULCANIZATION CONTROLLER AND VULCANIZING METHOD

摘要

PURPOSE:To set at least either one vulcanization degree of a fastest part and a slowest part of a material to be vulcanized to a vulcanization degree of a predetermined range by controlling a post-vulcanization degree of the material to be vulcanized such as a tire to a predetermined vulcanization degree. CONSTITUTION:Vulcanizing conditions of a post-vulcanization are decided in response to those of vulcanization until post-vulcanization is conducted. A vulcanization controller controls a vulcanizing machine based on the vulcanizing conditions of the vulcanization to conduct the vulcanization. A tire 50 vulcanized to a predetermined vulcanization degree by the vulcanization is contained in a box 40 of a vulcanization controller 10b. A temperature controller 64 calculates the post-vulcanization based on the vulcanization degree input from the controller at the time of finishing the vulcanization and a target vulcanization degree, and estimates a temperature of a fastest part. The controller 64 so control a cooler/heater 56 that the vulcanization degree from start to end of the vulcanization of the fastest part becomes the target degree based on the post-vulcanization degree and the estimated temperature of the fastest part. This control is repeated at each predetermined time up to a cycle time.
