In a control method of PRAT, a characteristic of a tire(10) in relation to the straight traveling performance of a vehicle, a slot(16) is designed to a block(14) adjacent to a horizontal groove(12) of the tire. The slot is selectively designed to a block or a pitch in the whole pitches of a row of blocks or one rib of the tire. Slots are designed to each row of blocks in a symmetrical shape around the center of the tire. Two circumferential slots are inserted into one block.
Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to PRAT (the residual rectification moment of torsion of Plysteer Residual AligningTorque:Plysteer as tire characteristics.Plysteer refers in the quasistatic slew test tyre slip angle when side force is zero) control method.More particularly, the present invention relates to a kind of PRAT control method, this method by with the pattern block (block) of tire transverse concave groove adjacency in easily embed or remove slit, overcome the problem that must make mould again for tyre P RAT is realized desirable control.
Technical background
The performance of running stability that tire advances always be by with the key property of the tire that shows cooperating of vehicle, be directly connected to the safety of vehicle.In vehicle manufacturing sector, in order to guarantee this performance, all check by all vehicles to batch manufacturing, make and have only performance could deliver goods through the vehicle of checking.
With regard to tire, the principal particulars value relevant with performance of running stability has tapering and PRAT, and tapering is the value that the geometry imparity according to tire produces, and is the characteristic that substantial connection is arranged with the tire manufacturing.PRAT mainly is the design-calculated eigenwert that the imparity of the decorative pattern of the imparity of the steel cable that mainly uses according to the radial-ply tyre that injects air and tread shows.But the PRAT value is not that to get certain value all right, but will be according to obtaining suitable value with the coupling of each vehicle, and the technology of therefore controlling suitable value is unusual important techniques field for tire.
The method of control PRAT in the past is to control PRAT by the angle that changes the translot 61 in the decorative pattern shown in Fig. 6 and 7.But, the angle of decorative pattern (α, change β) can greatly have influence on other performances, that is, and wearing and tearing, noise, brake etc.Therefore, changing PRAT can produce a lot of restrictions during Pattern Design to the initial stage, thus the degree of freedom when having reduced Pattern Design.
If increase rib (rib) away from the tire shoulder part of tire central authorities, perhaps increase from the angle of the transverse concave groove 61 of pattern block 62, can increase the value of PRAT, cause that vehicle tilts to the right.Otherwise, be positioned at tire central authorities and the middle intermediate rib of tire shoulder part if increase, perhaps increase the angle of the transverse concave groove 61 at pattern block 62 places, then can reduce the value of PRAT, cause that vehicle tilts to the left.Come vehicle is carried out suitable substance P RAT control according to such principle.In Fig. 6 and 7, symbol 63 expression tire belts, symbol 64 expression moulds (mold).
But in the said method, when changing the angle of transverse concave groove, needed mould in the time of must being produced on the tire making has again greatly been wasted funds and time, and the value of the change also difference because of decorative pattern is different, is attended by repeatedly tentative wrong shortcoming.
Summary of the invention
The objective of the invention is to, a kind of PRAT method of designing is provided, to alleviate two problems in the past.These two problems are, first, when designing at the decorative pattern initial stage, when changing the angle of transverse concave groove in order to control PRAT, because other performances are reduced, and produced the problem that the degree of freedom of Pattern Design reduces, second, after Mold Making well, be control PRAT, expense that the mould that causes is made again and the problem of the loss of time when changing the angle of transverse concave groove.
The invention relates to and control method, it is characterized in that as the PRAT of the tire characteristics of the performance of running stability of vehicle, with the pattern block of tire transverse concave groove adjacency in design slit is arranged.
Especially, purpose of the present invention can be by in all pitches (pitch) of rib of tire or pattern block row, only in a part of pitch or a part of pattern block optionally with the pattern block edge of transverse concave groove adjacency in the design slit realize.
And above-mentioned purpose of the present invention is by being benchmark with the tire center, in each pattern block row slit is set with the form of former point symmetry and realizes.
And above-mentioned purpose of the present invention can be by in a pattern block, and the slit that embeds two or three above circumferencial directions is realized.
