METHOD FOR CONTROLLING A LAYING HEAD OF A TIRE COMPONENT WITH A SIMPLIFIED PATH - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240034016 titled 'METHOD FOR CONTROLLING A LAYING HEAD OF A TIRE COMPONENT WITH A SIMPLIFIED PATH

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a method for characterizing the profile of a tire component. The method involves two steps: geometric characterization and functional characterization.

In the geometric characterization step, a set of geometric remarkable points representing the shape of the profile is provided.

In the functional characterization step, a set of functional remarkable points linked to the laying laws, which specify the conditions for laying the tire component, is provided.

These remarkable points are stored in a path chart.

In the next step, a series of equidistant virtual points, called "potential guide points," is defined on the profile, from the first functional remarkable point to the last functional remarkable point.

Then, the size of the path chart is reduced by applying one or more selection criteria to select some of the potential guide points and remarkable points.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Tire manufacturing industry
  • Automotive industry

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Efficient characterization of tire component profiles
  • Improved laying of tire components

Benefits of this technology:

  • More accurate and precise characterization of tire profiles
  • Enhanced efficiency in tire manufacturing process
  • Improved performance and durability of tires


Original Abstract Submitted

the method includes a step (a) of geometric characterization of the profile, during which a first set of geometric remarkable points prepresenting the shape of the profile is provided. in a step (b) of functional characterization of the profile, a second set of functional remarkable points linked to the laying laws which specify the conditions for laying the tire component is provided. the remarkable points are stored in a path chart. at step (c) a series of equidistant virtual points, referred to as “potential guide points”, is defined on the profile, from the first functional remarkable point to the last functional remarkable point. then, at step (d), the size of the path chart is reduced by applying to the path chart one or more selection criteria in order to select some of the potential guide points and remarkable points.
