Tire code

Abstract: A tire code reader scans an automobile tire to capture an image of the tire code molded on the tire sidewall and associates it with the vehicle identification number (VIN) read by a bar code scanner also on the reader. Both tire code and VIN are uploaded to a control server and then to a cloud-based server that is programmed with optical character recognition software for reading the tire code and for accessing databases for information about that tire, such as re-call information, and the make, model and year of the automobile. The cloud-based server transmits a report back to the control server for printing a full report by a printer and to the tire code reader for display of the tire code.

Abstract: We implement a tire code recognition system using image processing and neural networks In order to construct an automatic tire sorting system, a DOT code is extracted into individual characters by image processing and then recognized through a neural network The aim of this study is to construct the MCBP network which identifies individual characters of the tire code by image processing and to study experimentally the performance and recognition rate

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a rubber strip that is excellent in dimensional stability and enhances productivity by making high speed conveying possible and simplifies a conveying equipment, wherein the rubber strip can contribute to weight saving and tendency of high effectiveness by strengthening a tire component. SOLUTION: One to three tire code 7 are buried in the rubber strip substrate 6 that forms the tire component 2 by spiral winding. The rubber strip substrate 6 has a cross width WA of 2 to 100 times of gross code width that is the product of the code width of the code 7 and the number of the code.

Abstract: A tire cord sheet cutting device is provided to improve durability of tires by preventing steel or synthetic resin from being cut and to produce tire cord sheets of high quality by obtaining an accurate and uniform cut face of the tire cord sheet. The tire cord sheet cutting device(100) installed at the side of a conveyor to cut a tire cord sheet in the predetermined length is composed of a body(110) formed at the side of the conveyor; a rotating body(130) turning around a hinge shaft(120) installed at the upper side of the body and having guide rails(132) installed on the front and rear sides; a pair of moving brackets(140) horizontally slid by a driving unit through a rail support tool(141) mounted at the guide rail; a cutting member(150) cutting the tire cord sheet with horizontally moving about a hinge pin installed at the side of the moving bracket; a cord sheet support plate(160) formed at the lower side of the conveyor or the body to support the tire cord sheet and provided with an elongated hole(161) perforated in a longitudinal direction; and a cord sheet lifting bar(170) inserted into the elongated hole and moving upward according to the operation state of a cylinder(171) disposed at the lower side of the cord sheet support plate to bring the cord sheet into contact with the cutting member and cut the cord sheet by the cutting member.
