Above-mentioned carcass 6 is formed as including at least one of which carcass ply, is formed as including one layer of carcass ply 6A in this example, Carcass ply 6A is by the way that body cord is for example constituted relative to tire is circumferential so that 70~90 ° of angle is arranged.The carcass Cord 6A across the two ends of the cord main part 6a between bead core 5,5, with the way of being connected with main part 6a around Return portion 6b that above-mentioned bead core 5 is turned back and engaged from tire axial inside facing outward side.In addition, in the cord main part 6a and folding Return between portion 6b, be configured with the bead apex 8 of the tyre bead reinforcement extended towards radial outside from above-mentioned bead core 5.
In addition, as above-mentioned tyre surface reinforcing cord layer 7, by belt cord is circumferential for example with 10~60 ° relative to tire Angle arrangement more than one layer belt composition, the band beam being made up of two-layer belt ply 9A, 9B is shown in this example Layer 9.However, as tyre surface reinforcing cord layer 7, additionally it is possible to replace above-mentioned belt 9 and adopt by band cord is all in tire Scroll up the string course that helically wound band cord is constituted, in addition can also ditch use both belt 9 and string course.Make For above-mentioned body cord, belt cord and band cord, for example, can preferably use nylon, artificial silk, polyester, fragrant adoption The existing tyre cord such as acid amides.
Next, as illustrated schematically in fig. 2, in above-mentioned motorcycle tire 1, the tread rubber G of above-mentioned fetus face 2 is formed It is divided into the bottom extended throughout tread width TW(base)Layer 10 and be configured at the bottom 10 tire radial outside top (cap)Layer 11.
Wherein, above-mentioned bottom 10 is configured to include:It is in approximate three to be configured at the tire axial two ends of tread rubber G, section The tyre surface side glue portion 10A of angular shape;And link rubber section 10B that will link between the tyre surface side glue portion 10A, 10A.The bottom Layer 10 is made up of rubber excellent in adhesion, so as to improve between above-mentioned tyre surface reinforcing cord layer 7 and tread rubber G and tire Adhesive strength between side glue and tread rubber G.
In addition, above-mentioned top layer 11 is divided into the central top 12 of equatorial plane Co sides and is configured at the central top 13,13 at the top of the tire shoulder in 12 outside of tire axial two, and above-mentioned central top 12 is subdivided into form tread surface 2S Central top main part 12A and be configured at central top main part 12A tire radial direction inner side central top substrate Part 12B.
Also, loss tangent value tan δ is low less than the loss tangent value tan δ of above-mentioned central top main part 12A Heat generation rubber is used for above-mentioned central top base part 12B, and complex modulus E* is more than into above-mentioned central top main body The elastomeric rubber of the complex modulus E* of part 12A is used for above-mentioned tire shoulder top 13.
As a result, due to forming above-mentioned central top base part 12B by low heat generation rubber, thus improve straight trip row Rolling resistance performance when sailing.Wherein, because the shared ratio in whole running time of turning time is minimum, so substantially Can avoid because not having undesirable effect to rolling resistance performance with setting low heat generation rubber in shoulder-side.Further, since by Elastomeric rubber forms above-mentioned tire shoulder top 13 and not in shoulder-side with heat generation rubber is set low, also will low heat generation rubber Glue(Central top base part 12B)The radially inner side of central top main part 12A is only configured at, therefore, it is possible to fully raising Tire shoulder rigidity such that it is able to greatly improve turn performance.
Width W1 of the above-mentioned central top 12 in tread surface 2S(Shown in Fig. 1), the tire being preferably in during straight trip traveling The scope of 1.2 times of ground width W0 of face surface 2S~2.0 times.At 1.2 times of above-mentioned width W1 insufficient groundings width W0 In the case of, the regional extent constriction of low heat generation rubber, the raising effect of rolling resistance performance becomes insufficient, if conversely, on 2.0 times of width W1 more than ground width W0 are stated, then the raising effect of turn performance becomes insufficient.In addition, central top base The thickness t of bottom point 12B, preferably 0.1 times of the integral thickness T of central top 12~0.3 times.If above-mentioned thickness t deficiencies are whole 0.1 times of body thickness T, then the raising effect of rolling resistance performance becomes insufficient, if conversely, above-mentioned thickness t exceedes overall thickness 0.3 times of degree T, then can be presented below as tendency:Central top base part 12B is exposed in abrasion latter stage and causes control stability Decline.
Wherein, above-mentioned " ground width W0 " is referred to, regular wheel rim is assembled into wheel rim and the state of regular internal pressure is filled with Under tire it is ground plane, along tread surface when loading regular load and being contacted with plane ground with 0 ° of camber angle Breadth Maximum.In addition, above-mentioned " regular wheel rim " is referred to, according to every in the schematism of the specification comprising tire institute foundation Individual tire specifies the wheel rim of the specification, if such as JATMA then means standard rim, if TRA then means " Design Rim ", if or ETRTO then mean " Measuring Rim ".Above-mentioned " regular internal pressure " is referred to, according to each tire regulation The air pressure of above-mentioned specification, if JATMA then means highest air pressure, if TRA then means table " TIRE LOAD LIMITS Described maximum in AT VARIOUS COLD INFLATION PRESSURES ", if ETRTO then means “INFLATION PRESSURE”.Above-mentioned " regular load ", refers to the load for specifying above-mentioned specification according to each tire, if JATMA is then maximum load capability, if TRA is then table " TIRE LOAD LIMITS AT VARIOUS COLD Described maximum in INFLATION PRESSURES ", if ETRTO is then " LOAD CAPACITY ".
Herein, for the little rubber of loss tangent value tan δ, its caoutchouc elasticity is relatively low.Therefore, in this example In tread rubber G, when the tangent penalty values of its rubber being set to into tan δ 1 and are answered for above-mentioned central top base part 12B Elastic modelling quantity is set to E*1, the tangent penalty values of its rubber is set to into tan δ 2 for above-mentioned central top main part 12A and is incited somebody to action Its complex modulus is set to E*2, the loss of the tangent of its rubber is set to into tan δ 3 and by its complex elasticity for above-mentioned tire shoulder top 13 When modulus is set to E*3, following relation is met(1)、(2).
The < tan δ 3--- of 1 < tan δ of tan δ 2(1)
E*1 < E*2 < E*3---(2)
Though particular determination is not carried out, according to the viewpoint of rolling resistance performance, the rubber of central top base part 12B Tangent penalty values tan δ 1 is preferably less than 0.10, more preferably less than 0.08, additionally, according to the viewpoint of control stability, it is above-mentioned The complex modulus E*3 of the rubber at tire shoulder top 13 is preferably more than 5.0MPa, more preferably more than 5.5MPa.
Wherein, for tangent penalty values tan δ and complex modulus E*, it is set to according to JIS-K6394's Specify and use under conditions of shown below value obtained by " viscoplasticity spectrometer " measurement.Above-mentioned condition is:Initial strain (10%), amplitude(±2%), frequency(10Hz), deformation pattern(Stretching), measurement temperature(30℃).
In addition, above-mentioned central top 12 is formed as section in approximate trapezoid shape, the tire axial length of its inner radial surface More than the tire axial length of radially-outer surface, and base angle θ is less than 45 °.So, due to by above-mentioned base angle θ be set to compared with It is little, so the variation in rigidity between 13 at the top of central top 12 and tire shoulder is linearly and more smooths, make from straight trip to turning Conversion become smooth such that it is able to improve from straight trip to turn transient characteristic.In the case where above-mentioned base angle θ is more than 45 °, Variation in rigidity becomes drastically, so as to cause above-mentioned transient characteristic to decline.Wherein, though the non-particular determination of the lower limit of base angle θ, such as It is really too small, then in the formation of extrusion molding rubber, conveying when, paste when etc. easily make tip portion J deform, so as to be in The tendency for now making workability impaired.According to this viewpoint, the lower limit of above-mentioned base angle θ is preferably more than 15 °.Additionally, in section The tire axial length for being formed as the inner radial surface of above-mentioned central top 12 is less than the tire axial length of its radially-outer surface Approximate trapezoid shape in the case of, due to the regional extent constriction of low heat generation rubber, therefore, it is difficult to fully improving rolling resistance Performance.
In addition, in this example, in order to improve wet road adherence properties, for above-mentioned central top main part 12A and above-mentioned For tire shoulder top 13, adopt the shared ratio in rubber intensive of silica as the high by two of more than 75% mass parts The rubber of silica proportioning.
Next, in above-mentioned tread rubber G, above-mentioned central top 12 is by the extrusion molding rubber for by section being in approximate trapezoid shape Extrusion molding article 16 of the glue 15 after the circle of winding one in tire circumference is constituted, in addition, above-mentioned bottom 10 is distinguished with tire shoulder top 13 Formed around product 21 by the rubber strip 20 of banding is wound into into spiral helicine roll of strip.
The reason for this is that in the situation for carrying out one extrusion molding to whole tread rubber G using multilayer rubber extrusion device Under, due to cannot control exactly the rubber in extruder head flowing, so cannot high accuracy and be stably formed it is above-mentioned central authorities top The base angle θ in portion 12, tip portion J, so as to the decline of transient characteristic can be caused.In addition, by by rubber strip winding into (STW)Helical form and in the case of forming whole tread rubber G, also cannot accurately form above-mentioned base angle θ, tip portion J, from And transient characteristic can also declined.
Therefore, in the present invention, only formed using the extrusion molding rubber 15 based on multilayer rubber extrusion device extrusion Central top 12.Above-mentioned central top 12 due to be central top main part 12A and central top base part 12B bilayer Construction, it is possible to using double-layer rubber extrusion device high accuracy and being stably formed above-mentioned base angle θ, tip portion J.
In addition, forming the bottom 10 and tire shoulder top 13 as remainder by STW.Therefore, it is possible to make central top Portion 12 is common, and forms tread rubber G according to various tire size such that it is able to realize the extrusion of multilayer rubber extrusion device Head, the reduction of the species of tube head.
Next, illustrating to the manufacture method of above-mentioned motorcycle tire 1.The manufacture method is when green tire 1 is manufactured Including the tread rubber formation process for forming tread rubber G, as shown in Figure 3,4, the tread rubber formation process has:
(1)On forming cylinder 30, banded first rubber strip 20A is wound into curl, be consequently formed above-mentioned Bottom forming step S1 of bottom 10;
(2)In link rubber section 10B of above-mentioned bottom 10, by the section extruded from extrusion shaping machine and be molded in approximate The winding of extrusion molding rubber 15 one of trapezoidal shape is enclosed, and is consequently formed central top forming step S2 of central top 12;
(3)Between above-mentioned central top 12 and the tyre surface side glue portion 10A of above-mentioned bottom 10, by the second rubber of banding Band 20B winds curl, is consequently formed tire shoulder top forming step S3 at tire shoulder top 13.
As shown in figure 5, the first rubber strip, second rubber strip 20A, 20B are relatively thin shoestring, can use The shoestring of the existing size used in STW.
Also, in above-mentioned bottom forming step S1, as shown in fig. 6, continuously extruding above-mentioned using continuous extruder 31 One rubber strip 20A, and after extrusion first rubber strip 20A, first rubber strip 20A is carried out with U-shaped Repeatedly turn back, and first rubber is supplied towards forming cylinder 30 via the reservoir 32 for temporarily storing first rubber strip 20A Adhesive tape band 20A is simultaneously wound into helical form.
As above-mentioned continuous extruder 31, for example, preferably adopt screw-type extruder.This screw-type extruder, its rubber Discharge rate significantly changes because of internal pressure.Therefore, in order to the cross sectional shape for specifying high accuracy and stably to rubber strip Band 20A carries out extrusion molding, needs to make extruder continuously run and remain internal pressure invariable.On the other hand, exist In forming cylinder 30, need to make extruder intermittent running in order to take out tread rubber G etc., thus via reservoir 32 with into The mode of the synchronization of type cylinder 30 intermittently supplies rubber strip 20A.
In above-mentioned reservoir 32, the very long rubber strip needed for for forming such as one tread rubber G is stored 20A.Therefore, the temperature of rubber strip 20A is reduced during storing, so that rubber strip 20A is for example 30 DEG C~40 DEG C or so low-temperature condition under supply towards forming cylinder 30.
On the other hand, in forming step S3 at the top of above-mentioned tire shoulder, as shown in fig. 7, being extruded using the interval of gear pump type Machine 34 intermittently extrudes above-mentioned second rubber strip 20B, and the height by second rubber strip 20B after just extruding Helical form is supplied towards forming cylinder 30 and is wound under temperature state.
As shown in the drawing, the batch extruders 34 of said gear pump type are configured in the front end of screw-type extruder main body 36 It is equipped with the known construction of gear pump 37.The batch extruders 34 quantitatively extrude gear 37A by the rotation of gear 37A Roller seating space 37A1 in rubber.It is therefore not necessary to via above-mentioned reservoir 32, just can be by the ON/OFF that rotates to gear Control and in the mode synchronous with above-mentioned forming cylinder 30 intermittently and in the condition of high temperature(Such as 75 DEG C~85 DEG C)Lower supply Rubber strip 20A.
Herein, it is well known that the rubber strip under the condition of high temperature is more soft and excellent in adhesion.It is therefore not necessary to make just The central top 12 just pasted(Extrusion molding article 16)Tip portion J deform, tip portion J can be followed and formed Tire shoulder top 13 such that it is able to maintain the shape of tip portion.
In addition, the rubber of high silicon dioxide proportioning is several when having the property of cementability difference, such as a temperature below 40 DEG C Not bonding.However, due to being that the second rubber strip 20B is pasted under the above-mentioned condition of high temperature, so as shown in this example, even if In the case that the rubber of the high silicon dioxide proportioning is used for into the second rubber strip 20B, it is also possible to substantially ensure that rubber strip 20B Between adhesive strength such that it is able to suppression crack at its interface.
Though in addition, being illustrated, tyre surface reinforcement can also be pre-formed on the outer surface of above-mentioned forming cylinder 30 Cord ply 7.In addition, forming cylinder 30 can be the rigid neutron of green tire formation.Above-mentioned rigid neutron is referred to, for outside it Surface is pasted tire structure member and makes green tire be formed close to the interior metal mould of finished tire successively, normal conditions Under, green tire is put in sulfurizing mould together with the rigid neutron and sulfidization molding is carried out.
Although being described in detail to the particularly preferred embodiment of the present invention above, the invention is not restricted to diagram Embodiment, additionally it is possible to be deformed into various modes to implement.
