Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to the molding of vehicle supporting elements formed of rubber and more particularly, to a system for molding rubber tractor tracks in an endless configuration.
- Rubber tractor tracks offer better maneuverability, better ride quality in rough fields, better flotation in wet fields, improved side hill stability, excellent traction, low maintenance and versatility compared to steel tractor tracks. Additionally, rubber tracks are replacing conventional rubber tires on tractor and other agricultural vehicles such as combines, trenchers, snow removers, spreaders, sprayers, wagons and carts, since rubber tracks are more friendly to agricultural fields, offer better flotation and less compaction than rubber tires, resulting in better crop yield.
- the use of rubber tractor tracks permits farmers to get out into the fields earlier in the planting season and plant more crops as compared to rubber tire- equipped agricultural vehicles.
- Rubber tractor tracks are defined by an endless rubber belt reinforced with continuous flexible steel cables bonded into the rubber.
- a complete rubber tractor track is molded flat in quarter sections which are sequentially then bonded together during the curing process.
- the joint between the bonded-together sections tend to break in use.
- the joint between the bonded-together ends is of a different cross-sectional dimension than the cross-sectional dimension of the major portion of the track length. Accordingly, during movement of the track- supported vehicle, the vehicle is subject to severe vibrations. Such vibrations are not only harmful to the vehicle, but also to pavement over which the vehicle is moved. Additionally, such vibration is annoying to the vehicle operator.
- Another method involves building a complete track using a drum.
- Uncured or cured lugs are first manually clamped within pockets formed in drum. Next, uncured rubber, calendered cord and wire cable are wrapped around the outside of the drum. Preformed uncured treads are then stretched onto the uncured rubber. The drum is then disposed within an autoclave to cure the rubber and the parts attached thereto. The drum is then collapsed to remove the completed track. Since only low pressure can be applied the cured rubber Is " of a low density with resulting low strength. Also, the track lugs and treads are not generally integrally bonded to the rubber and are displaced during use.
- the molding system for rubber tire tracks of the present invention effects complete molding of an entire rubber track in an endless configuration of uniform thickness so as to eliminate any discontinuity in cross-section along the length of the rubber track.
- a rubber track embodying the present invention eliminates the vibration created when the bonded-together sections of a conventional rubber track during vehicle movement.
- a rubber track embodying the present invention is not subject to breakage as in the case of a conventional rubber track formed of bonded-together sections.
- a rubber tractor track made in accordance with the present invention is completely integral with respect to the lugs and treads whereby the lugs and treads will not become separated from the track.
- Another advantage of the molding system for rubber tire tracks embodying the present invention is the reduction in manufacturing time and cost afforded by such system.

- These concent ⁇ c sneils Have their outer ends welded to a pair of coaxial rings 39a and 39b.
- the inner portions of the inner shells are welded to spoke mounting flanges 40a and 40b. These flanges receive bolt and nut combinations 42 or other attaching means which extend through the outer end of spokes 34a and 34b.
- the outer peripherary of the outer shells define a rim R having halves designated 44a and 44b. The mid-portion of such rim halves are formed with cavities 45a and
- the rim R defines and inner matrix which cooperates with an outer matrix formed in the mold M in a manner described hereinafter.
- the lug pockets 46 successively receive rabber lugs 50 by means of a conventional power-operated vertically reciprocating ram 52 positioned below the periphery of drum D.
- a supply of warm lugs is provided by a downwardly inclined chute 54 which successively deposits lugs at a position above the ram 52 in order that upward movement of the ram will force the drive lugs into the drive lug pockets 46.
- the dram rim R sequentially receives one or more layers of uncured rabber R and conventional calendered cord 58 from one or more supply reels 56 rotatably supported on a frame F positioned adjacent drum D.
- the rim R of dram D also receives wire cable 59 from a second supply reel 60 carried by frame F adjacent supply reel 56.
- the frame also includes a stitcher pressure roller 62 which exerts radially inwardly directed force against uncured rabber and calendered cord during rotation of dram D.
- An operator O positioned at a console 64, controls operation of the dram, the supply reels, ram 52 and a drive lug feeder 66 for chute 54.
- drive lugs 50 will be heated to a soft condition so as to conform to the pockets and remain secured within drive lug pockets 46 after insertion of the drive lugs into the pockets by ram 52.
- This step is indicated in Fig. 4.
- a first layer of uncured rubber 64 is shown being wrapped around the rim R of drum D.
- a layer of calendered cord 58 will be wrapped about such rim over the layer of uncured rabber.
- wire cables 59 will be wrapped about rim R.
- a second layer 66 of uncured rubber is shown after having been wrapped about the dram rim over the calendered cord 58 and wire cable 59. It should be understood that the number of layers of uncured rubber, calendered cord and wire cable can be varied to suit the specifications of a particular track manufacturer. In Fig. 8, the appearance of the uncured rubber, calendered cord and wire cable can be varied to suit the specifications of a particular track manufacturer. In Fig. 8, the appearance of the
- mold M includes a base 70 provided at its outer periphery with a plurality of vertically extending hydraulic rams 72 of conventional construction.
- Each ram includes a cylinder 74 which effects vertical reciprocal movement of a plunger 75 formed at its upper end with a ball 76.
- the balls 76 are received by complementary socket 77 formed in circumferentially spaced brackets 78 supported by the outer periphery of mold top 80.
- mold base 70 horizontally, slidably supports a plurality of like outer mold segments S.
- Each mold segment includes a bottom ring 82 which is slidably supported upon the upper portion of mold base 70 for horizontal reciprocal movement relative to such mold base under the influence of a plurality of horizontally disposed conventional hydraulic or air-actuated cylinder and piston units 84.
- the mold segments include an outer matrix 86 encompassed by an upwardly tapered hollow heating cone 88.
- a segmented top ring 90 is disposed over the upper ends of the outer matrices 86 and the cones 88.
- the inwardly facing surfaces of the outer matrices 86 are formed with tread-forming complementary ribs 92 and grooves 93.
- a stop ring 94 is secured to the upper surface of mold base B to limit the radially inward movement of the mold segments S.
- Cones 88 are formed with steam passage apertures 95 connected to a source of steam (not shown) or other heating means in a conventional manner.
- Dram inner shells 36 a and 36b are provided with fluid inlet I and outlet pipes O to selectively connect the space between the inner and outer shells with steam or other heating medium and/or chilled water. Steam is admitted into such space after the dram D is lowered into mold M and the mold is closed so as to heat rim 44 a and 44b.
- the drum rim R acts as an inner matrix during curing of the rubber, as explained below.
- the building and curing drum D is shown being lowered within the mold M segments S, with such segments being retracted to their radially outermost position by means of cylinder and piston units 84.
- Raising and lowering of dram D is effected by a conventional hoist (not shown).
- Grooves 96 on dram ring 39a engages ribs 97 on locking ring 94 to center the drum relative to the cavity of mold M.
- the dram D is shown positioned within mold M for a rubber curing operation and at this time connected to a heating source after which the mold segments are being advanced radially inwardly towards the drum D. At this time, the mold segments S are already heated.
- the mold top 80 has been connected to the balls 76 of the rams 77 by suitable locking means (not shown) for downward movement of the mold top and locking of such top onto the body of the mold.
- mold top 80 The underside of mold top 80 is provided with a circular pressure cone 100, the inner surfaces of which slidably engage the outer surfaces of mold segment cones 88 as the mold top 80 is pulled downwardly by rams 72.
- a circular pressure cone 100 the inner surfaces of which slidably engage the outer surfaces of mold segment cones 88 as the mold top 80 is pulled downwardly by rams 72.
- the mold top 80 is shown after it has been pulled downwardly to its lowermost position and held therein. During such downward movement the cones 88 of the mold top slide along the outer surfaces of the cones
- the angle of the engaging surfaces of the inner and outer cones may approximate 8° in order to effect the desired compressing action of the matrices against the uncured rabber without the inner and outer cones locking together as the outer cones advance over the inner cones.
- heating of the dram rim and the mold matrices effects thermal expansion of the dram rim inner matrices and mold outer matrices toward one another so as to supplement the compression provided by the camming effect of the cones.
- Curing of the rabber also bonds the calendered cord and wire cables to such rabber, and additionally effects bonding of the drive lugs 50 to the main body of the uncured rabber.
- the ribs 92 and recesses 93 of the outer matrices S will form the treads 30 on the outer periphery of the cured and molded rabber. In this manner, a completely integral rubber track is formed whereby the lugs 50 an track 30 will not separate form the track during vehicle movement.
- dram D after the rabber has been cured, and the heat source disconnected from the dram D, the mold top 80 removed, cylinder and piston units 84 are actuated separate the mold segments, dram D and its completed track T will then be raised out of mold M. Thereafter, bolt and nut combinations 42 will be removed from the outer portion of spokes 34a and 34b in order than the dram halves D-l and D-2 may be axially separated. Such separation will effect release of the completed rabber track T from the drams. In order to facilitate release of the completed track T from the dram halves which define the dram rim, the dram halves will receive chilled water through pipes I and O, before the halves are axially
- the aforedescribed apparatus and method will produce an endless rabber tractor track of uniform cross-section which eliminates excessive vibration and remains integral during use over a long service life. Production of such rubber tractor tracks can be accomplished in a minimum amount of time and at a comparative low cost compared to existing rubber track making systems.
