Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a tire for a two-wheeled vehicle wherein a uniformity is prevented from being deteriorated and unevenness of a density of driving of belt cords is prevented from occurring, and to provide a method for manufacturing the same. SOLUTION: The method for manufacturing the tire 10 for the two-wheeled vehicle comprises the steps of forming a belt layer 16, then winding an elastic strip-like member 46 at a radial outside of the tire of the layer 16 spirally in a circumferential direction of the tire so as to at least partly laminate the member 46 in a step of forming a tire profile, and forming a tread 22 and a sidewall 26 by suitably changing a laminated amount of the member 46. Thus, the uniformity can be prevented from being deteriorated by increasing the laminating amount of the member 46 at a position which relatively needs a rigidity and decreasing the laminating amount at a position which does not relatively need the rigidity.

Further, in the conventional MC tire manufacturing method,
Since the tire is pressed against the mold with a so-called plader from the inside of the tire to vulcanize it, the position of the belt inside the tread before molding and the position of the belt after molding do not always have the same diameter with high accuracy. There is a certainty. If the accuracy is not high, there is a problem that the cord position of the belt moves in the tire width direction and the driving density of the belt cord layer varies.

After the carcass layer is formed, in the belt layer forming step, 1 is provided on the outer side of the carcass layer in the radial direction of the tire.
The belt layer is formed by spirally winding a belt-shaped member formed by bundling a plurality of cords or a plurality of cords in the tire circumferential direction, or by winding a layer member having cords inclined with respect to the tire circumferential direction. .

The tread portion and the sidewall portion are formed by appropriately changing the stacking amount of the belt-shaped members.

Therefore, it is possible to prevent the uniformity from deteriorating by increasing the amount of lamination of the elastic strip-shaped members in a portion where the rigidity is relatively required and decreasing the amount of lamination in a portion where the rigidity is relatively unnecessary.

In the case where the tread portion is formed by the tread rubber extruded by the extruder as in the conventional case, when the thickness of the tread rubber is changed, the shape of the extrusion port called the die of the extruder is changed. It is necessary to process the shape of the mouthpiece, but in the present invention, since the thickness of the tread portion can be adjusted by appropriately changing the laminating amount of the elastic band-shaped member, it is troublesome to process the mouthpiece. Can be omitted.

Further, as in the conventional case, when one plate-shaped tread rubber is wound to form the tread portion, it is necessary to finally bond both ends (cut ends) of the tread rubber. If a large unexpected force is applied to the surface (splice surface), it may come off.

Particularly, in a tire having a large tangential force / ground contact area ratio, such as an MC tire, a phenomenon called open splice (a phenomenon in which a joint portion (connection portion) of a tread rubber is peeled off by a tangential force in the tire circumferential direction) frequently occurs. It was a problem.

However, according to the present invention, since the elastic strip member is spirally wound in the tire circumferential direction so that at least a part thereof is laminated, the area of the splice surface can be reduced. Therefore, the open splice that crosses the tread cross section can be significantly reduced.

Further, in a tire having a large tread curvature such as an MC tire, the peripheral lengths of the center portion (large peripheral length) and the shoulder portion (small peripheral length) of the tire are extremely different from each other. In the manufacturing method, it is necessary to narrow down the tread rubber toward the shoulder portion. In the process of narrowing down, so-called "waviness" occurs in the tread rubber of the shoulder portion, which has a problem of having a great adverse effect on variations in gauge distribution.

However, in the present invention, since it is not necessary to narrow the tread rubber toward the shoulder portion, so-called "waviness" does not occur in the tread rubber of the shoulder portion. Therefore, variations in gauge distribution in the tread portion are not affected.

In the conventional manufacturing method, the core is not used and the inside of the green tire is vulcanized by using the plader which expands during vulcanization. Therefore, the belt diameter is not always the same before and after vulcanization, and the belt layer moves in the tread portion of the tire to a position where the diameter is optimum, and there is a problem that the driving density of the belt cord varies. .
