Tires are circular elastic rubber products that roll on the ground and are installed on various vehicles or machinery. They are usually installed on metal rims, which can support the vehicle body, buffer external impacts, achieve contact with the road surface and ensure the driving performance of the vehicle. Tires are often used under complex and harsh conditions. They are subjected to various deformations, loads, forces, and high and low temperature effects when driving, so they must have high load-bearing performance, traction performance, and buffering performance. At the same time, they are also required to have high wear resistance and flexibility resistance, as well as low rolling resistance and heat generation. Half of the world's rubber consumption is used for tire production, which shows the ability of tires to consume rubber.
If mold companies want to operate for a long time, they must vigorously reform. The first task is to improve technology. Only by mastering patented technology can enterprises have a strong competitive advantage, enter the high-end market, and create their own unique brands. The application of high-tech industries to transform the traditional tire mold manufacturing model can enhance the international competitiveness of the traditional tire mold manufacturing model; through the continuous upgrading of the traditional tire mold manufacturing model, it also provides a broad space for the development of high-tech itself.
In the tire mold industry, the understanding of green manufacturing should include meeting the needs of green tire production and the green manufacturing of the mold itself. For the positioning of green manufacturing of tire molds themselves, first of all, the green concept should be implemented from the beginning of design. In addition to modularization, standardization and optimized design, manufacturability and high performance of molds are also very important. At the same time, as many parts as possible should be reused, the degree of standardization should be higher, and as many raw materials as possible should be recycled and reused. Secondly, in the manufacturing process of tire molds, it is necessary to strengthen refined management, high efficiency, low loss, energy saving and environmental protection. Thirdly, the use process of tire molds should be energy-saving, material-saving and green. Finally, tire mold remanufacturing is actually the repair work of molds, which is to modify and refurbish some waste tire molds for reuse. From the perspective of social benefits, this is a very meaningful work.
With the rapid development of the automobile industry, the requirements for tires tend to be flat, high-speed and environmentally friendly, and the requirements for tire matching molds are also correspondingly improved. The appearance and performance of the tire are largely determined by the tire vulcanization process. The tire mold is an indispensable tool in the tire vulcanization process. Whether the mold structure is reasonable is crucial to the quality of the tire. The following research and analysis will be conducted from the perspective of mold structure.
