Tire production method and apparatus

Abstract

The tire production device includes a main shaft and a turn-up rod assembly, a shim plate assembly, a lock block assembly and a middle drum assembly. The tire production method includes: adjusting initial diameters of the shim plate assembly, the lock block assembly and middle drum assembly, and adhering a sizing material; installing a tire rim outside the lock block assembly, increasing the diameter of the lock block assembly, and making it abut against and lock the tire rim; adjusting the diameter of the shim plate assembly and the middle drum assembly, so that outer surfaces are flush; turning over the turn-up rod assembly to adhere the sizing material to a tire side surface, and making the turn-up rod assembly move reversely and reset; decreasing the diameters of the shim plate assembly, the lock block assembly and the middle drum assembly and removing the tire from the main shaft.
