  • the tire vulcanization time is 90 in Example 1 and 80 in Example 2 with respect to 100 of the conventional example, and the tire vulcanization time is increased because the uniformity of the temperature distribution in the bladder 20 is increased.
  • the uniformity of the temperature distribution in the bladder 20 of the tire vulcanizing apparatus 1 can be improved while the bladder 20 can be prevented from being locally damaged, and the durability of the bladder 20 can be increased and the life can be extended. Prove that you can.

Abstract

Grâce à l'invention, la température qui règne dans une vessie d'un dispositif de vulcanisation de bandage de roue est répartie de manière extrêmement uniforme et les dommages locaux à la vessie sont minimisés. Une vessie (20) est gonflée à l'intérieur d'un bandage de roue cru placé dans un moule de vulcanisation et de la vapeur (S) est éjectée dans la vessie (20) par l'ouverture (43) d'un ajutage qui délivre la vapeur dans la vessie (20). Un élément de diffuseur (44) est prévu dans une orientation inclinée entre l'ouverture (43) de l'ajutage et la vessie (20). L'élément diffuseur (44) bloque l'écoulement de vapeur (S) éjectée par l'ouverture (43) de l'ajutage et son écoulement vers la vessie (20) et diffuse la vapeur (S) en renvoyant la vapeur (S) dans la vessie (20) suivant une direction prédéterminée. L'élément diffuseur (44) diffuse la vapeur (S) pour délivrer la vapeur dans la vessie (20) en empêchant que la vapeur (S) éjectée vienne frapper directement la vessie (20), le bandage de roue cru étant chauffé par la vapeur (S) pour faire progresser la vulcanisation et le moulage.
