METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CLEANING A VULCANISING MOULD

A method for cleaning a vulcanising mould for tyres in a curing press, using an apparatus (1) comprising a collaborative mobile robot (10), incorporating a computer program, the robot comprising an autonomous mobile platform (2) mounted on drive wheels and comprising power supply batteries, a dry ice dispenser (6), sensors for identifying the location of the mould to be cleaned and motors allowingthe movement of same between a storage location where the apparatus is stored and the mould to be cleaned, and the movement of a hinged movable arm (3) of the robot, the arm carrying a spray nozzle (4) for spraying dry ice from the dispenser, in which the apparatus comprises means for communicating with a control unit. According to the invention, the control unit sends a mission instruction to the apparatus which navigates between a storage location and the location of the mould and automatically cleans the vulcanising mould. 一种利用设备(1)来清洁硫化机中的轮胎的硫化模具的方法，该设备(1)包括：集成了计算机程序的协作移动机器人(10)、干冰分发器(6)、用于识别待清洁模具的位置的传感器以及电机，所述机器
