Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、耐久性に優れた空気入りタイヤに関し、さらに詳しくは、ビード部に埋設する補強層の配置及び構成を適正化することにより、ビード部の耐久性を向上するようにした空気入りタイヤに関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
重荷重用空気入りラジアルタイヤにおいては、ビード部におけるカーカス層の巻き上げ端を起点とするセパレーションを抑制するために、複数本のスチールコードを引き揃えてなる補強層をカーカス層に沿って埋設することが行われている(例えば、特許文献1及び特許文献2参照。)。
【0003】
即ち、従来の重荷重用空気入りラジアルタイヤにおいては、図7や図8に示すように、ビード部1にビードコア2が埋設され、ビードコア2の外周側にビードフィラー3が配置され、カーカス層4の端部がビードコア2の廻りにタイヤ内側から外側へ巻き上げられている。そして、複数本のスチールコードを引き揃えてなる補強層5はカーカス層4を包み込むように配置されている。
【0004】
このようにビード部にスチールコード補強層を追加することにより、ビード部のタイヤ外側への倒れ込みを抑制し、カーカス層の巻き上げ端に作用する歪を低減し、その巻き上げ端を起点とするセパレーションを抑制することができる。しかしながら、ビード部にスチールコード補強層を追加した場合、その補強層に起因する故障を生じるため、耐久性の改善効果が必ずしも十分ではなかった。

【発明が解決しようとする課題】
本発明の目的は、スチールコード補強層によってビード部を補強するに際し、ビード部の耐久性を向上することを可能にした空気入りタイヤを提供することにある。
【0007】
【課題を解決するための手段】
上記目的を達成するための本発明の空気入りタイヤは、左右一対のビード部にそれぞれビードコアを埋設し、各ビードコアの外周側にビードフィラーを配置し、前記左右一対のビード部間に装架されたカーカス層の両端部を前記ビードコアの廻りにタイヤ内側から外側へ巻き上げると共に、複数本のスチールコードを引き揃えてなる補強層を前記カーカス層に沿って前記ビード部に埋設した空気入りタイヤにおいて、前記スチールコードからなる補強層を前記ビードコアを堺にして内側補強層と外側補強層とに分割し、内側補強層を前記カーカス層の本体部と前記ビードフィラーとの間に配置し、外側補強層を前記カーカス層の巻き上げ部よりタイヤ幅方向外側に配置したことを特徴とするものである。
【0008】
このようにスチールコード補強層をビードコアを堺にして内側補強層と外側補強層とに分割し、内側補強層をカーカス層の本体部とビードフィラーとの間に配置し、外側補強層をカーカス層の巻き上げ部よりタイヤ幅方向外側に配置したことにより、従来のようにカーカス層を包み込むようにスチールコード補強層を配置した場合に比べて、ビード部の耐久性を向上することができる。また、必要以上の重量増加を回避するために、スチールコードからなる補強層は上記位置だけに配置すると良い。
【0009】
本発明では、カーカス層の巻き上げ端と内側補強層の上端と外側補強層の上端のタイヤ径方向の高さ位置を互いに異ならせ、カーカス層の巻き上げ端を内側補強層の上端よりも高くし、外側補強層の上端をカーカス層の巻き上げ端よりも高くすることが好ましい。或いは、カーカス層の巻き上げ端と内側補強層の上端と外側補強層の上端のタイヤ径方向の高さ位置を互いに異ならせ、カーカス層の巻き上げ端を外側補強層の上端よりも高くし、内側補強層の上端を前記カーカス層の巻き上げ端よりも高くすることが好ましい。いずれの場合も、ビード部の剛性変化が滑らかになるので、耐久性の面で有利である。
【0010】
また、リム径の基準位置からのリムフランジの高さをHとし、該リムフランジの頂点からの外側補強層の上端の高さをh1とし、該リムフランジの頂点からの内側補強層の上端の高さをh2とし、リム径の基準位置からの内側補強層の下端の高さをh3とし、リム径の基準位置からの外側補強層の下端の高さをh4としたとき、これら高さh1〜h4をリムフランジ高さHに対して適切に設定することが好ましい。
【0011】
本発明では、スチールコード補強層を内側補強層と外側補強層に分割した構成を備えているので、この分割構造を有効に利用し、それによって、耐久性の向上のみならず、軽量化や操縦安定性の向上を図ることも可能である。より具体的には、内側補強層及び外側補強層のタイヤ周方向に対するコード絶対角度を互いに異ならせると良い。この場合、内側補強層及び外側補強層のタイヤ周方向に対するコード絶対角度の差を5〜65度にすると良い。また、内側補強層及び外側補強層の単位幅当たりのコード打ち込み本数やコード撚り構造を互いに異ならせても良い。
【0012】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、添付図面を引用して本発明の実施形態を説明する。各図において、同一の構成要素は同一の符号を付し、重複した説明は省略する。
【0013】
図1及び図2は、それぞれ本発明の第1及び第2実施形態からなる重荷重用空気入りラジアルタイヤのビード部を示す断面図である。図1及び図2において、ビード部1にはビードコア2が埋設され、ビードコア2の外周側にはビードフィラー3が配置されている。左右一対のビード部1,1間に装架されたカーカス層4は、その両端部がそれぞれビードコア2の廻りにタイヤ内側から外側へ巻き上げられている。即ち、カーカス層4はビードコア2を堺にして本体部4Aと巻き上げ部4Bとから構成されている。そして、複数本のスチールコードを引き揃えてなる補強層は、ビードコア2を堺にして内側補強層5Aと外側補強層5Bとに分割され、その内側補強層5Aがカーカス層4の本体部4Aとビードフィラー3との間に配置され、その外側補強層5Bがカーカス層4の巻き上げ部4Bよりタイヤ幅方向外側に配置されている。
【0014】
上記ビード部の補強構造において、カーカス層4の巻き上げ端4BUと内側補強層5Aの上端5AUと外側補強層5Bの上端5BUのタイヤ径方向の高さ位置は互いに相違しており、カーカス層4の巻き上げ端4BUは内側補強層5Aの上端5AUよりも高く、外側補強層5Bの上端5BUはカーカス層4の巻き上げ端4BUよりも高くなっている。
【0015】
ここで、リム径の基準位置Rからのリムフランジの高さをHとし、該リムフランジの頂点からの外側補強層5Bの上端5BUの高さをh1とし、該リムフランジの頂点からの内側補強層5Aの上端5AUの高さをh2とし、リム径の基準位置Rからの内側補強層5Aの下端5ALの高さをh3とし、リム径の基準位置Rからの外側補強層5Bの下端5BLの高さをh4としたとき、これら高さh1〜h4をリムフランジ高さHに対して適切に設定すると良い。但し、ここで言うリムとは、JATMA規定による標準リムである。
【0016】
図1の実施形態のように、内側補強層5Aの下端5ALをビードコア2の内側近傍に配置し、外側補強層5Bの下端5BLをビードコア2の外側近傍に配置した補強構造とする場合、下記条件を選択することにより、耐久性の向上効果が顕著に得られる。
1.90<h1/H<2.70
1.15<h2/H<1.85
0.50<h3/H<1.10
0.15<h4/H<0.70
【0017】
図2の実施形態のように、内側補強層5Aの下端5ALをビードコア2の内側近傍に配置し、外側補強層5Bをビードコア2の下側に廻り込ませて該外側補強層5Bの下端5BLをビードコア2の内側近傍に配置した補強構造とする場合、下記条件を選択することにより、耐久性の向上効果が顕著に得られる。
1.90<h1/H<2.70
1.15<h2/H<1.85
0.50<h3/H<1.10
0.10<h4/H<0.50
【0018】
図3及び図4は、それぞれ本発明の第3及び第4実施形態からなる重荷重用空気入りラジアルタイヤのビード部を示す断面図である。図3及び図4において、ビード部1にはビードコア2が埋設され、ビードコア2の外周側にはビードフィラー3が配置されている。左右一対のビード部1,1間に装架されたカーカス層4は、その両端部がそれぞれビードコア2の廻りにタイヤ内側から外側へ巻き上げられている。即ち、カーカス層4はビードコア2を堺にして本体部4Aと巻き上げ部4Bとから構成されている。そして、複数本のスチールコードを引き揃えてなる補強層は、ビードコア2を堺にして内側補強層5Aと外側補強層5Bとに分割され、その内側補強層5Aがカーカス層4の本体部4Aとビードフィラー3との間に配置され、その外側補強層5Bがカーカス層4の巻き上げ部4Bよりタイヤ幅方向外側に配置されている。
【0019】
上記ビード部の補強構造において、カーカス層4の巻き上げ端4BUと内側補強層5Aの上端5AUと外側補強層5Bの上端5BUのタイヤ径方向の高さ位置は互いに相違しており、カーカス層4の巻き上げ端4BUは外側補強層5Bの上端5BUよりも高く、内側補強層5Aの上端5AUはカーカス層4の巻き上げ端4BUよりも高くなっている。
【0020】
ここで、リム径の基準位置Rからのリムフランジの高さをHとし、該リムフランジの頂点からの外側補強層5Bの上端5BUの高さをh1とし、該リムフランジの頂点からの内側補強層5Aの上端5AUの高さをh2とし、リム径の基準位置Rからの内側補強層5Aの下端5ALの高さをh3とし、リム径の基準位置Rからの外側補強層5Bの下端5BLの高さをh4としたとき、これら高さh1〜h4をリムフランジ高さHに対して適切に設定すると良い。但し、ここで言うリムとは、JATMA規定による標準リムである。
【0021】
図3の実施形態のように、内側補強層5Aの下端5ALをビードコア2の内側近傍に配置し、外側補強層5Bの下端5BLをビードコア2の外側近傍に配置した補強構造とする場合、下記条件を選択することにより、耐久性の向上効果が顕著に得られる。
0.40<h1/H<1.20
2.20<h2/H<2.90
0.50<h3/H<1.10
0.15<h4/H<0.70
【0022】
図4の実施形態のように、内側補強層5Aの下端5ALをビードコア2の内側近傍に配置し、外側補強層5Bをビードコア2の下側に廻り込ませて該外側補強層5Bの下端5BLをビードコア2の内側近傍に配置した補強構造とする場合、下記条件を選択することにより、耐久性の向上効果が顕著に得られる。
0.40<h1/H<1.20
2.20<h2/H<2.90
0.50<h3/H<1.10
0.10<h4/H<0.50
【0023】
上述した内側補強層5A及び外側補強層5Bについて、コード角度やコード打ち込み本数やコード撚り構造は特に限定されるものではない。
【0024】
ところで、上記タイヤはスチールコード補強層を内側補強層5Aと外側補強層5Bに分割した構成を備えているので、この分割構造を有効に利用し、それによって、耐久性の向上のみならず、軽量化や操縦安定性の向上を図ることが可能である。
【0025】
図5及び図6は、内側補強層5Aと外側補強層5Bを構成するスチールコードのタイヤ周方向に対する角度を説明するための展開図である。図5及び図6は、カーカス層4の本体部4Aと内側補強層5Aをビードコア2の左側に展開し、カーカス層4の巻き上げ部4Bと外側補強層5Bをビードコア2の右側に展開した状態を示している。図5及び図6において、内側補強層5Aのタイヤ周方向に対するコード絶対角度βと外側補強層5Bのタイヤ周方向に対するコード絶対角度αとは互いに異なっている。ここで、スチールコードの傾斜方向はいずれであっても良い。
【0026】
例えば、内側補強層5Aのコード絶対角度βを外側補強層5Bのコード絶対角度αよりも大きくし、そのコード絶対角度の差を5〜65度にすることにより、ビード部の耐久性を阻害することなく操縦安定性を向上することができる。なお、コード絶対角度の差が5度未満であると操縦安定性の向上効果が不十分になり、逆に65度超であるとビード部の耐久性が低下することになる。
【0027】
また、内側補強層5Aの単位幅当たりのコード打ち込み本数を外側補強層5Bの単位幅当たりのコード打ち込み本数よりも少なくした場合、操縦安定性やビード部の耐久性を良好にしたまま軽量化を図ることができる。
【0028】
更に、内側補強層5A及び外側補強層5Bのコード撚り構造を互いに異ならせ、内側補強層5Aのコードを外側補強層5Bのコードよりも軽くした場合、操縦安定性やビード部の耐久性を良好にしたまま軽量化を図ることができる。
【0029】

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a pneumatic tire having excellent durability, and more particularly, to a pneumatic tire having improved durability of a bead portion by optimizing an arrangement and a configuration of a reinforcing layer embedded in the bead portion. About.
[0002]
[Prior art]
In a heavy-duty pneumatic radial tire, in order to suppress the separation from the winding end of the carcass layer in the bead portion, a reinforcing layer formed by aligning a plurality of steel cords may be embedded along the carcass layer. (For example, see Patent Documents 1 and 2).
[0003]
That is, in a conventional pneumatic radial tire for heavy load, as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, a bead core 2 is embedded in a bead portion 1, a bead filler 3 is arranged on an outer peripheral side of the bead core 2, and a carcass layer 4 is formed. The end is wound up around the bead core 2 from the inside to the outside of the tire. The reinforcing layer 5 formed by aligning a plurality of steel cords is disposed so as to surround the carcass layer 4.
[0004]
By adding the steel cord reinforcing layer to the bead portion in this way, the bead portion is prevented from falling down to the outside of the tire, the strain acting on the winding end of the carcass layer is reduced, and the separation starting from the winding end is reduced. Can be suppressed. However, when a steel cord reinforcing layer is added to a bead portion, a failure due to the reinforcing layer occurs, and the effect of improving durability is not always sufficient.
[0005]
[Patent Document 1]

JP-A-7-164837
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
An object of the present invention is to provide a pneumatic tire capable of improving the durability of a bead portion when reinforcing the bead portion with a steel cord reinforcing layer.
[0007]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
To achieve the above object, the pneumatic tire of the present invention embeds a bead core in each of a pair of left and right bead portions, arranges a bead filler on an outer peripheral side of each bead core, and is mounted between the pair of left and right bead portions. While winding both ends of the carcass layer around the bead core from the inside of the tire to the outside, a pneumatic tire having a reinforcing layer formed by aligning a plurality of steel cords embedded in the bead portion along the carcass layer, The reinforcing layer made of the steel cord is divided into an inner reinforcing layer and an outer reinforcing layer using the bead core as a rim, and the inner reinforcing layer is disposed between the main body of the carcass layer and the bead filler. Are arranged on the outer side in the tire width direction from the winding portion of the carcass layer.
[0008]
In this way, the steel cord reinforcing layer is divided into an inner reinforcing layer and an outer reinforcing layer using the bead core as a sakai, the inner reinforcing layer is disposed between the main body of the carcass layer and the bead filler, and the outer reinforcing layer is formed as the carcass layer. By arranging the steel cord reinforcing layer so as to surround the carcass layer as in the related art, the durability of the bead portion can be improved by arranging the steel cord reinforcing layer so as to surround the carcass layer. Further, in order to avoid an unnecessary increase in weight, the reinforcing layer made of a steel cord is preferably disposed only at the above-mentioned position.
[0009]
In the present invention, the height of the winding end of the carcass layer, the upper end of the inner reinforcing layer and the upper end of the outer reinforcing layer in the tire radial direction are different from each other, and the winding end of the carcass layer is higher than the upper end of the inner reinforcing layer, It is preferable that the upper end of the outer reinforcing layer is higher than the winding end of the carcass layer. Alternatively, the heights in the tire radial direction of the winding end of the carcass layer, the upper end of the inner reinforcing layer, and the upper end of the outer reinforcing layer are made different from each other, and the winding end of the carcass layer is higher than the upper end of the outer reinforcing layer, so that the inner reinforcement is performed. Preferably, the upper end of the layer is higher than the winding end of the carcass layer.

[0021]
As in the embodiment of FIG. 3, when the lower end 5AL of the inner reinforcing layer 5A is arranged near the inside of the bead core 2 and the lower end 5BL of the outer reinforcing layer 5B is arranged near the outside of the bead core 2, the following conditions are satisfied.

[0023]
Regarding the inner reinforcing layer 5A and the outer reinforcing layer 5B described above, the cord angle, the number of cords to be driven, and the cord twist structure are not particularly limited.
[0024]
By the way, since the tire has a structure in which the steel cord reinforcing layer is divided into the inner reinforcing layer 5A and the outer reinforcing layer 5B, this divided structure is effectively used, thereby not only improving the durability but also reducing the weight. It is possible to improve the steering and steering stability.
[0025]
FIGS. 5 and 6 are developed views for explaining the angles of the steel cords forming the inner reinforcing layer 5A and the outer reinforcing layer 5B with respect to the tire circumferential direction. FIGS. 5 and 6 show a state in which the main body portion 4A of the carcass layer 4 and the inner reinforcing layer 5A are developed on the left side of the bead core 2, and the winding portion 4B of the carcass layer 4 and the outer reinforcing layer 5B are developed on the right side of the bead core 2. Is shown. 5 and 6, a cord absolute angle β of the inner reinforcing layer 5A with respect to the tire circumferential direction and a cord absolute angle α of the outer reinforcing layer 5B with respect to the tire circumferential direction are different from each other. Here, the inclination direction of the steel cord may be any.
[0026]
For example, by making the cord absolute angle β of the inner reinforcing layer 5A larger than the cord absolute angle α of the outer reinforcing layer 5B and making the difference in the cord absolute angle 5 to 65 degrees, the durability of the bead portion is impaired. The steering stability can be improved without the need. If the difference between the cord absolute angles is less than 5 degrees, the effect of improving the steering stability will be insufficient, and if it exceeds 65 degrees, the durability of the bead portion will decrease.
[0027]
When the number of cords per unit width of the inner reinforcing layer 5A is smaller than the number of cords per unit width of the outer reinforcing layer 5B, the weight can be reduced while maintaining the steering stability and the durability of the bead portion. Can be planned.
[0028]
Furthermore, when the cord twist structure of the inner reinforcing layer 5A and the outer reinforcing layer 5B is made different from each other, and the cord of the inner reinforcing layer 5A is made lighter than the cord of the outer reinforcing layer 5B, the steering stability and the durability of the bead portion are good. The weight can be reduced while maintaining the above.
