(54) METHOD OF MAKING TYRES
(71) We, DUNLOP LIMITED, an English
Company of Dunlop House, Ryder Street,
St. James's, London S.W.l, do hereby declare the invention, for which we pray that a patent may be granted to us, and the method by which it is to be performed, to be particularly described in and by the following statement:- This invention relates to a method of making tyres.
A method of making a tyre comprises assembling a vulcanisable rubber tread component with a carcass component which comprises vulcanised and/or vulcanisable rubber, with or without one or more other components of the tyre between them, and heating the assembly to bond the components together whereby at least some of the heat is produced by passing an electric current through at least one electro-conductive filler-containing rubber composition in the assembly.
Usually pressure is also applied to the assembly during heating.
The method is particularly directed to achieving a bond between at least two adjacent components by vulcanisation and for this purpose at least one of the components to be bonded is preferably vulcanisable.
The tread comprises a vulcanisable rubber composition and may comprise more than one layer. If desired the tread or, if it comprises more than one layer, at least one of its layers may contain an electroconductive filler. The tread may be in the form of "lugs", such as are used in earthmover tyres.
The carcass comprises a vulcanised or vulcanisable rubber composition and may comprise more than one layer in which case at least one vulcanisable and at least one vulcanised layer may be included. It is to be understood that the term "carcass" does not include a tyre breaker or tread. If desired the carcass or, if it comprises more than one layer, at least one of its layers may contain an electroconductive filler. For example, tyre cord may be coated with an electro-conductive filler-containing rubber composition and used as a carcass ply.
If desired, at least one electroconductive filler-containing vulcanised or vulcanisable rubber composition may be included between the tread and carcass. The electroconductive filler-containing rubber composition may be applied e.g. in sheet form, in strip form by winding or as a solution or dispersion.
One or more additional vulcanisable rubber layers can be applied between the tread and carcass if desired e.g. by strip winding or in sheet form or as a solution or dispersion.
An example of an additional layer is a tyre breaker which usually comprises tyre cord coated with a vulcanisable rubber composition. If desired the tyre cord coating may contain an electroconductive filler.
If desired, regions such as the sidewalls of a tyre may also include an electroconductive filler-containing rubber composition and these regions may be useful for making electrical contact between external electrodes and one or more electroconductive fillercontaining rubber compositions within the assembly.
Since electrically conductive rubber has a resistance which decreases with increase in temperature, particularly in the case of an unvulcanised rubber at temperatures below its vulcanising temperature, it is desirable that the temperature of the electroconductive filler-containing rubber composition is raised before an electric current is passed through it to avoid local high current and overheating developing from initial small differences of temperature. Thus by heating the electroconductive filler-containing rubber composition and/or one or more compositions adjacent to it, the same amount of current can be obtained at a lower voltage because of the decreased resistance of the heated rubber layer.
At least one of the rubber compositions in the assembly may be heated while current is passed through the electroconductive fillercontaining rubber composition. The voltage supplied may be decreased as the temperature of the electroconductive filler-containing rubber composition increases because of the decrease in resistance of the electroconductive filler-containing rubber composition.
The resistivity of the or each electroconductive filler-containing rubber composition is preferably less than 104 ohm.cm and more preferably less than 102 ohm.cm.
Examples of suitable electroconductive fillers include carbonaceous materials such as acetylenic blacks or other conductive carbon blacks and carbon fibres. An example of a highly conductive carbon black is that available as Ketjen black EC from Akzo Chemie
Nederland BV. Alternatively, metal-coated fillers, e.g. metal-coated staple fibres, may be used.
The amount of electroconductive filler incorporated in a rubber composition suitable for use in the method of the present invention will depend on the particular filler selected. For example, if a highly conductive carbon black such as Ketjen EC black is selected it may be used in an amount between 5 and 35 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of rubber and preferably between 10 and 20 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of rubber. If an acetylenic black is selected it may be used in an amount of between 35 and 100 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of rubber and preferably between 55 and 85 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of rubber.
Examples of suitable rubbers are those based on unsaturated hydrocarbons e.g. natural rubber, SBR (styrene/butadien'e rubber), ethylene/propylene/diene terpolymers, cis-polyisoprene, polybutadiene and butyl rubber or a blend of any of these.
The rubber compositions may contain any of the conventional compounding and vulcanising ingredients, e.g. fillers (e.g. other carbon blacks), accelerators and anti-oxidants, and may contain bond-promoting ingredients such as resin-forming ingredients, particularly aldehyde condensation resin-forming ingredients (e.g. resorcinol and hexamethylene tetramine). Any of the rubber compositions may be reinforced e.g. with a textile or a metal such as steel. An example of a suitable reinforcement is a tyre cord.
The current may be passed through the electroconductive filler-containing rubber composition by means of electrodes applied to the or at least one of the electroconductive filler-containing rubber compositions. These electrodes may be situated e.g. about the circumference of the tyre tread and/or sidewalls and may have the same current passed through all of them. Alternatively different currents could be passed through electrodes in various segments of the tyre in order to produce differential heating.
One embodiment of the present invention comprises (a) constructing a tyre carcass having circumferential bands of an electroconductive filler-containing vulcanisable rubber composition on its shoulder regions, e.g. by winding strips of the rubber composition onto the carcass, and vulcanising the carcass, (b) applying circumferentially, e.g.
by strip winding or in sheet form, a layer of vulcanisable undertread rubber composition over the crown of the carcass between the bands of electroconductive filler-containing vulcanised rubber composition (the undertread rubber composition possibly being formulated so that it has suitable properties in view of its position in the tyre, e.g. low heat builci-up), (c) if desired, freshening the surface of the bands of electroconductive filler-containing rubber composition by applying an electroconductive filler-containing rubber solution, (d) applying, e.g. by strip winding or in sheet form, an electroconductive filler-containing vulcanisable rubber composition over the undertread rubber composition and part of each band of electroconductive filler-containing rubber composition, (e) applying a vulcanisable tread to the assembly, and (f) subjecting the tyre in a mould to conditions which include passing an electric current through the electroconductive filler-containing rubber compositions by means of electrodes, e.g. of steel, which are in contact with the vulcanised bands of electroconductive filler-containing rubber composition such that the vulcanisable rubber compositions are vulcanised and the tyre assembly is bonded. The mould may be heated and a heated inflation means, e.g. a heated curing bag, may be located within the tyre assembly. At least one of the rubber compositions may be heated before current is passed through the electroconductive filler containing rubber compositions.
A further embodiment of the present invention comprises preparing a sheet of an electroconductive filler-containing vulcanisable or vulcanised rubber composition by calendering and laying it between a vulcanisable tread and a vulcanisable rubber composition on a vulcanised carcass such that a narrow ring of the sheet protrudes at the edges around the shoulder region of the tyre.
This assembly is then pressurised in a suitable mould so that the components are consolidated in a radial direction. Two circular electrodes which may suitably be of steel are clamped over the protruding electroconductive sheet edges on either side of the tyre and an electric current is passed through the electroconductive sheet to heat it to at least the highest vulcanising temperature of the rubber compositions. The temperature is maintained until the vulcanisable compositions are vulcanised and the assembly is bonded. The electrodes are then removed and the sheet edges are trimmed to a smooth finish.
By way of further example, a sheet of an electroconductive filler-containing vulcanisable rubber composition is prepared by calendering and laid between a vulcanised rubber tread and a vulcanised rubber carcass such that a narrow ring of the sheet protrudes at the edges around the shoulder region of the tyre. The assembly is then pressurised in a suitable mould so that the components are consolidated in a radial direction. Two circular electrodes which may suitably be of steel are clamped over the protruding conductive sheet edges on either side of the tyre and an electric current is passed through the electroconductive sheet to heat it to at least its vulcanising temperature.
The temperature is maintained until the sheet is sugstantially vulcanised and the assembly is bonded. The electrodes are then removed and the sheet edges are trimmed to a smooth finish.
The method of the present invention may be used in the "re-lugging" and the retreading of tyres e.g. earthmover tyres in which case the carcass will be a used, serviceable vulcanised carcass and may have a breaker upon it.
By using the method of the present invention, and particularly when external heat is applied to the assembly, a more uniform vulcanisation and a better bond is usually obtained compared to conventional tyre construction methods. It has also been found that the vulcanisation time may be cut, e.g. in the case of an earthmover tyre from 9 hours to 3 hours. In an experiment performed according to the method of the present invention and using a heated mould in a hydraulic press to make a tyre from a vulcanised carcass component, vulcanisable undertread, electroconductive filler-containing rubber composition and tread component, the period from application of electrical power to removal from the press of the tyre was 100 minutes compared to 245 minutes when no electrical power was used.In both cases the temperature of the mould was 150 to 155"C and a diaphragm within the tyre was at a temperature of 95 to 100 C.
In another experiment performed, vulcanisable rubber layers were assembled with an interlayer of an electroconductive filler-containing vulcanisable rubber composition such that the thickness of the assembly was about the same as would be used in a run-flat tyre. It was found that a surprisingly small current (e.g. 2 amps at a maximum potential difference of 165 volts between electrodes 250 mm apart) was necessary in order to obtain a comparable level of vulcanisation in the central and outer regions of the assembly even when only a very thin sheet, e.g. of about 1.2 mm thickness, of electroconductive filler-containing rubber composition was used.
As it is often difficult when making a tyre to obtain an even state of vulcanisation throughout the tyre it may be desirable to have at least one electroconductive fillercontaining rubber composition at about the centre of the assembly.
