Application: Facility and method for manufacturing an annular tire on a lightweight monolithic core (Patent ID: US20240075701A1)
The patent filed by Compagnie Generale des Etablissements Michelin describes a facility for manufacturing tires that includes an assembly station, curing station, and extraction station. The core of the tire has a tubular wall with a receiving face and an exchange face for heat exchange. The curing station uses a heating thermal source to cure the tire, which then dissociates from the core to allow cooling by a refrigerating thermal source in the extraction station. The method involves tire-building, curing, and extraction steps with specific temperature requirements for the core.
The facility and method outlined in the patent aim to streamline the tire manufacturing process by efficiently curing and extracting tires from the core. The core design allows for effective heat exchange during curing, with a specific focus on the radial clearance between the core and the cured tire. The method also includes preheating steps to ensure the core is at the optimal temperature for tire-building. By utilizing multiple cores in the same manufacturing cycle, the process can be further optimized for increased efficiency.
