Description

本発明は、周方向溝により区画されたタイヤ周方向に連続したリブを有するトレッドパターンのタイヤの加硫成形用金型に関するものである。   The present invention relates to a mold for vulcanization molding of a tread pattern tire having ribs continuous in the tire circumferential direction defined by circumferential grooves.

タイヤを加硫成形する際に、エア溜まりによるゴム流れ不良等のベア発生を防止するために、成形されるタイヤと金型内面との間のエアを排出するためのベントホールが、トレッド面を加硫成形する型部のうちのブロックやリブ等の陸部を成形する部分に設けられている(特許文献1及び特許文献2)。   When the tire is vulcanized and molded, a vent hole for discharging air between the molded tire and the mold inner surface prevents the occurrence of bears such as poor rubber flow due to air accumulation. Of the mold part to be vulcanized and molded, it is provided in a part for molding a land part such as a block or a rib (Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2).

例えば、タイヤ周方向に延びる周方向溝(主溝等と称する)により区画されてタイヤ周方向にストレート状あるいはジグザグ状をなして延びる周方向リブを有するタイヤを加硫成形する場合、前記周方向溝を成形する凸型部分と、該凸型部分の間で前記周方向リブを成形する凹型部分とを有する型部内面のうちの前記凹型部分にベントホールが形成されている。通常、前記周方向溝内には周方向に間隔をおいて複数のトレッドウエアインジケータが形成されていて、該部分でゴム量が多く必要になることから、前記ベントホールは、前記凸型部分における前記トレッドウエアインジケータの成形部分の近傍位置を基点にしてタイヤ周方向にほぼ均等な間隔をおいて配設されている。   For example, in the case of vulcanizing and molding a tire having circumferential ribs that are defined by circumferential grooves (referred to as main grooves or the like) extending in the tire circumferential direction and extending in a straight or zigzag shape in the tire circumferential direction, the circumferential direction A vent hole is formed in the concave portion of the inner surface of the mold portion having a convex portion for forming the groove and a concave portion for forming the circumferential rib between the convex portions. Usually, a plurality of tread wear indicators are formed in the circumferential groove at intervals in the circumferential direction, and a large amount of rubber is required in the portion. Therefore, the vent hole is formed in the convex portion. The tread wear indicator is disposed at substantially equal intervals in the tire circumferential direction with a position near the molding portion of the tread wear indicator as a base point.

特に、近年、前記リブの幅方向中央に前記ベントホールを設定したのでは、タイヤ重量減やゴム薄化等のタイヤに対する要求に対応できないことから、前記リブを成形する凹型部分の側端近傍域に前記ベントホールを配設することが多くなっている。これは、タイヤ重量減やゴム薄化のためにトレッドゴムのボリュームが少なくなると、周方向溝を成形する凸型部分の基部際ほどゴム充填に不利になり、ベアが発生し易くなるので、前記凸型部分の基部際になる側端近傍域に前記ベントホールを設定することで、タイヤに対する前記要求に応えようとするものである。   In particular, in recent years, since the vent hole is set at the center in the width direction of the rib, it cannot meet the demand for the tire such as tire weight reduction or rubber thinning. In many cases, the vent hole is disposed in the base plate. This is because when the volume of the tread rubber is reduced due to tire weight reduction or rubber thinning, the base part of the convex part forming the circumferential groove is disadvantageous for rubber filling, and bear is likely to occur. By setting the vent hole in the vicinity of the side end that is close to the base of the convex portion, it is intended to meet the demand for the tire.

特許文献2の場合、ブロックを成形する凹型部分の両側の側端近傍域に形成するベントホールを、トレッドウエアインジケータ近傍を成形する部分に、他より多く配置形成するものであるが、両側の側端近傍域に配されたベントホールが幅方向に略対応した位置に配置されている。   In the case of Patent Document 2, the vent holes formed in the vicinity of the side ends on both sides of the concave portion for forming the block are arranged and formed in the portion for forming the vicinity of the tread wear indicator more than the others. A vent hole disposed in the vicinity of the end is disposed at a position substantially corresponding to the width direction.

そのため、前記特許文献2に示されたベントホールの配置を、タイヤ周方向に連続した所謂周方向リブを有するパターンのタイヤを加硫成形する金型に適用して、例えば前記周方向リブを成形する凹型部分の両側の側端近傍域のうち、幅方向に略対応する前記トレッドウエアインジケータの近傍位置に前記ベントホールを配置すると、該ベントホールが存する部分ではゴム流入が速くなる一方、周方向のベントホール間の中央部でエア排出が遅れたり不完全になるために、該中央部でゴム流入が遅くなり充填不良によるベア発生の虞がある。

Therefore, the arrangement of the vent holes shown in Patent Document 2 is applied to a mold for vulcanizing and molding a tire having a so-called circumferential rib continuous in the tire circumferential direction, for example, molding the circumferential rib. When the vent hole is arranged in the vicinity of the tread wear indicator substantially corresponding to the width direction in the vicinity of the side edges on both sides of the concave portion, the rubber inflow becomes faster in the portion where the vent hole exists, while the circumferential direction Since air discharge is delayed or incomplete at the center between the vent holes, the rubber inflow is delayed at the center and there is a risk of bear generation due to poor filling.

本発明は、上記に鑑みてなしたものであり、周方向溝により区画された周方向リブを有するタイヤの加硫成形用金型として、周方向リブを成形する凹型部分におけるエア排出のためのベントホールを、周方向の全長にわたって略均等にゴムを誘導でき、かつゴム充填不良を生じさせないように配置したタイヤ加硫成形用金型を提供するものである。   The present invention has been made in view of the above, and as a mold for vulcanization molding of a tire having circumferential ribs partitioned by circumferential grooves, for discharging air in a concave mold portion for molding the circumferential ribs. Provided is a tire vulcanization molding die in which a vent hole is arranged so that rubber can be guided substantially uniformly over the entire length in the circumferential direction and a rubber filling defect does not occur.

本発明は上記の課題を解決するもので、タイヤのトレッド面に、周方向溝により区画されたタイヤ周方向に連続する周方向リブを有し、該周方向リブ両側の前記周方向溝内に複数のトレッドウエアインジケータが形成されているタイヤの加硫成形用金型であって、トレッド面を成形する型部内面の前記周方向リブを成形する凹型部分には、エア排出のためのベントホールが、前記周方向溝を成形する凸型部分に沿う両側の側端近傍域に、それぞれ前記凸型部分におけるトレッドウエアインジケータの成形部分の近傍位置を基点にして、タイヤ周方向に間隔をおいて交互に配設されてなることを特徴とする。   The present invention solves the above-mentioned problem, and has a circumferential rib continuous in the tire circumferential direction defined by a circumferential groove on the tread surface of the tire, and the circumferential groove on both sides of the circumferential rib is in the circumferential groove. A tire vulcanization molding die in which a plurality of tread wear indicators are formed, and a vent hole for discharging air is provided in a concave mold portion for molding the circumferential rib on the inner surface of the mold portion for molding the tread surface. However, in the vicinity of the side edges on both sides along the convex portion forming the circumferential groove, the tire circumferential direction is spaced from the position near the molding portion of the tread wear indicator in the convex portion. It is characterized by being arranged alternately.

このタイヤ加硫成形用金型によると、前記周方向リブを成形する凹型部分の両側の側端近傍域に配設されたベントホールが、前記トレッドウエアインジケータの成形部分の近傍位置を基点にして配設されているために、加硫成形時において、該トレッドウエアインジケータの成形部分の近傍においても該位置のベントホールを通じてエアを排出でき、ゴム流れをスムーズに誘導できる。   According to the tire vulcanization molding die, the vent holes disposed in the vicinity of the side edges on both sides of the concave portion for molding the circumferential rib are based on the vicinity of the molding portion of the tread wear indicator. Therefore, during vulcanization molding, air can be discharged through the vent hole at the position even in the vicinity of the molding portion of the tread wear indicator, and the rubber flow can be smoothly guided.

そればかりか、前記ベントホールは、前記凹型部分の両側の側端近傍域にそれぞれタイヤ周方向に間隔をおいて交互に配設されているために、前記両側の側端近傍域のベントホールが前記凹型部分の幅方向に対応した位置にはならず、前記側端近傍域それぞれのタイヤ周方向のベントホール間の中央部分でもエアを問題なく排出でき、該中央部分でもゴム流れをスムーズに誘導できる。そのため、周方向の全長に渡って均等にゴムを流入させることができ、ゴム充填不良の発生を抑えることができる。   In addition, since the vent holes are alternately arranged in the vicinity of the side edges on both sides of the concave portion at intervals in the tire circumferential direction, the vent holes in the vicinity of the side edges on both sides are arranged. Air does not flow at the central part between the vent holes in the tire circumferential direction in each of the areas near the side edges, and the rubber flow is smoothly guided at the central part. it can. Therefore, rubber can be made to flow evenly over the entire length in the circumferential direction, and occurrence of defective rubber filling can be suppressed.

前記のタイヤ加硫成形用金型において、前記周方向リブが、タイヤ周方向に直線状に延びるストレートリブであり、前記ベントホールが、前記ストレートリブを成形する凹型部分の前記両側の側端近傍域において、それぞれタイヤ周方向における前記トレッドウエアインジケータの成形部分の配置間隔毎に複数個ずつ交互に千鳥状配置をなすように配設されてなるものとすることができる。   In the tire vulcanization molding die, the circumferential rib is a straight rib extending linearly in the tire circumferential direction, and the vent hole is in the vicinity of the side edges on both sides of the concave portion that molds the straight rib. In the region, a plurality of zigzag-like arrangements may be alternately arranged at intervals of the molding portion of the tread wear indicator in the tire circumferential direction.

この場合、前記ベントホールが、前記凹型部分の両側の側端近傍域に交互に配設されて千鳥状配置をなしているため、タイヤ周方向において前記両側の側端近傍域に交互にバランスよく配置されることになり、前記周方向リブがストレートリブであっても、両側端近傍域でのタイヤ周方向のベントホール間の中央部分においても、ゴム充填不良を生じさせる虞がない。   In this case, since the vent holes are alternately arranged in the vicinity of the side ends on both sides of the concave portion to form a staggered arrangement, the balance is alternately provided in the vicinity of the side ends on both sides in the tire circumferential direction. Even if the circumferential rib is a straight rib, there is no possibility of causing poor rubber filling even in the central portion between the vent holes in the tire circumferential direction in the vicinity of both side ends.

前記のタイヤ加硫成形用金型において、前記周方向リブが、タイヤ周方向にジグザグ状に屈折して連続するジグザグ状リブであって、前記周方向溝内のトレッドウエアインジケータが前記ジグザグ状リブの屈折部外側角との対応位置にあり、前記ベントホールが、前記ジグザグ状リブを成形する凹型部分の前記両側の側端近傍域において、周方向における前記トレッドウエアインジケータの成形部分の配置間隔毎に、前記ジグザグ状リブの屈折部外側角を成形する部位の内側近傍位置を含めて複数個ずつ交互に千鳥状配置をなすように配設されてなるものとすることができる。   In the tire vulcanization molding die, the circumferential rib is a zigzag rib that is continuously refracted in a zigzag shape in the tire circumferential direction, and the tread wear indicator in the circumferential groove is the zigzag rib. The bent holes are located at positions corresponding to the outer corners of the refracting portion of the concave portion where the zigzag ribs are formed, and in the vicinity of the side ends on both sides of the concave portion, the arrangement intervals of the forming portions of the tread wear indicator in the circumferential direction In addition, a plurality of zigzag ribs may be alternately arranged in a zigzag manner including a position in the vicinity of the inside of the portion where the outer corner of the refracting portion is formed.

この場合、前記ベントホールが、前記凹型部分の両側の側端近傍域で前記ジグザグ状リブの屈折部外側角を成形する部位の内側近傍位置を含めて両側で千鳥状配置をなしているため、エア溜まりが発生し易い前記屈折部外側角の部分でもエア排出がスムーズに行われ、該屈折部外側角を成形する部位にも確実にゴムが流入することになり、ゴム充填不良を生じさせることなく加硫成形でき、しかも両側それぞれのタイヤ周方向のベントホール間の中央部分においても、ゴム充填不良を生じさせる虞がない。   In this case, because the vent hole has a staggered arrangement on both sides including the position near the inner side of the portion forming the outer corner of the zigzag rib in the vicinity of the side edges on both sides of the concave portion, Air is smoothly discharged even at the outer corner of the refracted portion where air accumulation is likely to occur, and the rubber surely flows into the portion where the outer corner of the refracted portion is molded, resulting in poor rubber filling. Vulcanization molding can be performed without any problem, and there is no possibility of causing poor rubber filling even in the central portion between the vent holes in the tire circumferential direction on both sides.

前記のタイヤ加硫成形用金型において、トレッド面を成形する型部が周方向複数に分割形成されたセグメントで、それぞれ前記周方向溝を成形する複数の凸型部分と、2条の前記凸型部分の間で前記周方向リブを成形する凹型部分とを有するセグメントからなり、少なくとも一つのセグメントの前記凹型部分に隣接する両側の前記凸型部分に、周方向に位置をずらせて前記トレッドウエアインジケータの成形部分がそれぞれ一つ形成されており、前記ベントホールが、前記凹型部分における両側の側端近傍域に、それぞれ前記トレッドウエアインジケータの成形部分の近傍位置を基点にして周方向に位置をずらせて交互に複数個ずつ配設されてなるものとすることもできる。   In the tire vulcanization molding die, the mold part for molding the tread surface is a segment formed by dividing into a plurality of circumferential directions, and each of the plurality of convex mold parts for molding the circumferential grooves and the two protrusions. The treadwear comprises a segment having a concave portion for forming the circumferential rib between the mold portions, and the convex portions on both sides adjacent to the concave portion of at least one segment are shifted in the circumferential direction. One molded part of the indicator is formed, and the vent holes are positioned in the vicinity of the side edges on both sides of the concave part, respectively, in the circumferential direction based on the position near the molded part of the tread wear indicator. A plurality of them can be alternately arranged.

前記の場合、周方向複数に分割形成されたセグメントの全部が、前記両側の凸型部分に周方向に位置をずらせて前記トレッドウエアインジケータの成形部分が形成されているセグメントであって、それぞれ前記凹型部分両側の側端近傍域に、前記ベントホールが前記トレッドウエアインジケータの成形部分の近傍位置を基点にして周方向に位置をずらせて複数個ずつ配設されてなる者が特に好ましい。   In the above case, all of the segments divided and formed in a plurality in the circumferential direction are segments in which the molded portions of the tread wear indicator are formed by shifting the positions of the convex portions on both sides in the circumferential direction, Particularly preferred is a person in which a plurality of the vent holes are arranged in the vicinity of the side edges on both sides of the concave portion, and the vent holes are displaced in the circumferential direction from the vicinity of the molding portion of the tread wear indicator.

これにより、前記各セグメントには、前記周方向リブを成形する凹型部分の両側の側端近傍域にそれぞれ交互に前記ベントホールが配設されることになり、加硫成形時には、金型全体として、前記各セグメント同士の接合部の隙間と前記セグメントに配設した前記ベントホールとにより効率よくエアを排出できて、金型周方向の全長にわたって略均等にバランスよくゴム充填が行われることになる。   Thereby, in each segment, the vent holes are alternately arranged in the vicinity of the side ends on both sides of the concave portion for forming the circumferential rib. The air can be efficiently discharged by the gaps between the joints of the segments and the vent holes disposed in the segments, and the rubber filling is performed in a substantially even and balanced manner over the entire length in the mold circumferential direction. .

前記のタイヤ加硫成形用金型において、周方向複数に分割形成されたセグメントとしては、前記両側の凸型部分に周方向に位置をずらせて前記トレッドウエアインジケータの成形部分が形成されているセグメントと、前記凸型部分に前記トレッドウエアインジケータの成形部分を有さないセグメントとが交互に配置されてなり、前記トレッドウエアインジケータの成形部分を有するセグメントには、それぞれ前記凹型部分両側の側端近傍域に、前記ベントホールが前記トレッドウエアインジケータの成形部分の近傍位置を基点にして周方向に位置をずらせて複数個ずつ配設され、また前記トレッドウエアインジケータの成形部分を有さない他のセグメントには、ベントホールが前記凹型部分における両側の側端近傍域に周方向に位置をずらせて交互に1個もしくは複数個ずつ配設されてなるものとすることもできる。   In the tire vulcanization molding die, the segment divided into a plurality in the circumferential direction is a segment in which the molded portion of the tread wear indicator is formed by shifting the positions of the convex portions on both sides in the circumferential direction. And segments having no molded portion of the tread wear indicator are alternately arranged on the convex portion, and the segments having the molded portion of the tread wear indicator are respectively near the side edges on both sides of the concave portion. In the region, a plurality of the vent holes are arranged in a circumferential direction with a position in the vicinity of the molded portion of the tread wear indicator as a base point, and other segments not having the molded portion of the tread wear indicator The vent hole is displaced in the circumferential direction in the vicinity of the side edges on both sides of the concave portion. It may be composed are arranged one by one or a plurality alternately.

この場合も、前記周方向リブを成形する凹型部分の両側の側端近傍域にそれぞれ交互に前記ベントホールが配設されることになり、加硫成形時には、金型全体として、前記各セグメント同士の接合部の隙間と前記セグメントに配設した前記ベントホールとにより効率よくエアを排出でき、バランスよくゴム充填が行われることになる。   Also in this case, the vent holes are alternately arranged in the vicinity of the side edges on both sides of the concave portion for forming the circumferential rib. The air can be efficiently discharged by the gap between the joints and the vent hole provided in the segment, and the rubber can be filled in a balanced manner.

上記したように、本発明のタイヤ加硫成形用金型によれば、成形されるタイヤと金型との間のエアを排出するためのベントホールを、周方向リブを成形する凹型部分における両側の側端近傍域において、周方向溝を成形する凸型部分における複数のトレッドウエアインジケーターの成形部分の近傍位置を基点にして、タイヤ周方向に間隔をおいて交互に、特には千鳥状配置をなすように配設したことにより、前記トレッドウエアインジケータの成形部分の近傍位置において、前記ベントホールによるエア排出により加硫成形時のゴム流れをスムーズに誘導できるばかりか、周方向のベントホール間の中央部分でもゴム流れを良好に誘導でき、ひいては周方向の全長に渡って均等にバランスよくゴムを充填でき、ゴム充填不良を生じさせることがない。従って、周方向リブを有するタイヤの加硫成形を良好に行え、ベア発生を抑制できる。   As described above, according to the tire vulcanization molding die of the present invention, the vent holes for exhausting air between the tire to be molded and the die are formed on both sides of the concave mold portion for molding the circumferential rib. In the region near the side edge of the tire, the tires are alternately arranged at intervals in the tire circumferential direction, particularly in a staggered manner, based on the positions near the molding portions of the plurality of tread wear indicators in the convex portion forming the circumferential groove. As a result, the rubber flow at the time of vulcanization molding can be smoothly guided by the air discharge by the vent hole at a position near the molding portion of the tread wear indicator, and between the vent holes in the circumferential direction. The rubber flow can be guided well even in the center, and as a result, the rubber can be filled evenly and evenly over the entire length in the circumferential direction, resulting in poor rubber filling. No. Therefore, the vulcanization molding of the tire having the circumferential rib can be performed satisfactorily and the occurrence of bear can be suppressed.

次に、本発明の実施の形態を図面に示す実施例に基づいて説明する。   Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described based on examples shown in the drawings.

通常、分割形成された各セグメント10毎の前記凹型部分12に隣接する前記両凸型部分11,11には、それぞれ一つの前記成形部分13,13が形成されている。例えば、各セグメント10を環状に接合した状態においては、周方向に連続する凸型部分11、11の周方向の略等間隔毎に複数、特にはセグメント数と同数の前記トレッドウエアインジケータ3,3の成形部分13,13が周方向に位置をずらせて形成されることになる。   Usually, one said molded part 13 and 13 is formed in the said both convex-shaped parts 11 and 11 adjacent to the said concave-shaped part 12 for every segment 10 formed, respectively. For example, in a state where the segments 10 are joined in a ring shape, a plurality of treadwear indicators 3, 3 are provided at substantially equal intervals in the circumferential direction of the convex portions 11, 11 that are continuous in the circumferential direction, in particular, the same number as the number of segments. The molded parts 13 and 13 are formed with their positions shifted in the circumferential direction.

そして、前記周方向リブ2を成形する凹型部分12には、前記周方向溝1を成形する凸型部分11,11の基部に沿う両側の側端近傍域に、エア排出のためのベントホール15が、前記凸型部分11、11におけるトレッドウエアインジケータ3,3の成形部分13,13の近傍位置を基点にして、幅方向では対応する位置にならないように、タイヤ周方向に間隔をおいて両側に位置をずらせて交互に配設されており、主として千鳥状の配置をなしている。通常、前記ベントホール15は、周方向における前記成形部分13の配置間隔毎に、それぞれ複数個、例えば2個ずつ交互に千鳥状配置をなすように周方向(前記セグメント10の長さ方向)に位置をずらせて配設される。   The concave portion 12 for forming the circumferential rib 2 has a vent hole 15 for discharging air in the vicinity of both side edges along the base of the convex portions 11 and 11 for forming the circumferential groove 1. However, both sides of the convex portions 11 and 11 are spaced apart in the tire circumferential direction so that they do not become corresponding positions in the width direction starting from the positions near the molded portions 13 and 13 of the tread wear indicators 3 and 3 in the convex portions 11 and 11. The positions are alternately arranged to form a staggered arrangement. Usually, the vent holes 15 are arranged in the circumferential direction (the length direction of the segment 10) so that a plurality of, for example, two of the vent holes 15 are alternately arranged at every interval of the molded portions 13 in the circumferential direction. The position is shifted.

特に、図示する実施例のように、トレッド面を加硫成形する型部が周方向複数のセグメント10からなる場合は、前記ベントホール15を、前記凹型部分12の両側の側端近傍域において、前記トレッドウエアインジケータ3,3の成形部分13,13の近傍位置を含めて該セグメント10の長さ方向に位置をずらせて、例えば前記セグメント10のタイヤ周方向に沿う長さLに応じた所要間隔毎に交互に配置しておくのが好ましい。   In particular, as in the illustrated example, when the mold part for vulcanizing the tread surface is composed of a plurality of segments 10 in the circumferential direction, the vent holes 15 are arranged in the vicinity of the side edges on both sides of the recessed mold part 12, The required distance corresponding to the length L of the segment 10 along the tire circumferential direction, for example, is shifted in the length direction of the segment 10 including the vicinity of the molding portions 13 and 13 of the tread wear indicators 3 and 3. It is preferable to arrange them alternately every time.

具体的には、例えば図3のように、前記凹型部分12の両側の凸型部分11,11に有するトレッドウエアインジケータ3,3の成形部分13、13を、該凹型部分12の前記長さLの略1/4の長さ分だけ位置をずらせて設定するとともに、前記成形部分13、13の近傍位置を基点とする両側の側端近傍域のベントホール15,15についても、前記長さLの略1/4の長さ分ずつ位置をずらせて交互に2個ずつ配置する。この配置において、前記セグメント10の長さ方向両端と該両端に近いベントホール15,15との間に前記長さLの1/8の長さ分を保有させる。   Specifically, for example, as shown in FIG. 3, the molded portions 13 and 13 of the tread wear indicators 3 and 3 included in the convex portions 11 and 11 on both sides of the concave portion 12 are replaced with the length L of the concave portion 12. The vent holes 15 and 15 in the vicinity of the side edges on both sides starting from the position near the molding parts 13 and 13 are also set to the length L. Two are arranged alternately by shifting the position by a length of about 1/4 of the length. In this arrangement, a length corresponding to 1/8 of the length L is held between the length direction both ends of the segment 10 and the vent holes 15 and 15 close to the both ends.

これにより、前記セグメント10を環状に接合した状態においては、前記凹型部分12の両側の側端近傍域には、全周(1周)でセグメント数の2倍の個数のベントホール15が略等間隔に形成されることになる。例えば、セグメント数が7個、9個又は12個の場合、それぞれ14個、18個または24個のベントホールが周方向に略等間隔に形成され、金型の全周に渡って略均等にエアを排出できることになる。前記各セグメント10の長さ方向の両端部付近は、各セグメント10,10同士の接合部の隙間からもエアを排出できるため、セグメント10の長さ方向両端から最も近いベントホール15までの距離が前記よりやや大きくなってもエア排出は良好に行われる。   Thereby, in the state where the segments 10 are joined in an annular shape, the number of vent holes 15 that is twice the number of segments in the entire circumference (one round) is substantially equal in the vicinity of the side ends on both sides of the concave portion 12. It will be formed at intervals. For example, if the number of segments is 7, 9, or 12, 14 vent holes, 18 holes, or 24 holes are formed at substantially equal intervals in the circumferential direction, and are substantially evenly distributed over the entire circumference of the mold. Air can be discharged. Since air can be discharged from the gaps between the joint portions of the segments 10 and 10 in the vicinity of both end portions in the length direction of each segment 10, the distance from the both ends in the length direction of the segment 10 to the nearest vent hole 15 is Even if it becomes slightly larger than the above, the air is discharged well.

なお、前記ブロック用凸型部16にも、図2においてスピュー痕5として示しているように、隅角部等の任意の位置に、それぞれベントホール15が形成されるのは言うまでもない。   Needless to say, the vent holes 15 are also formed in the block convex portions 16 at arbitrary positions such as corner portions, as shown as spew marks 5 in FIG.

また、トレッド面を成形する型部が周方向複数に分割形成されたセグメント10からなる金型の場合、必ずしも、全部のセグメント10について、周方向溝1を形成する凸型部分11に前記トレッドウエアインジケータ3の成形部分13が形成されているものには限らず、少なくとも一つ、好ましくは周方向略等間隔位置の複数のセグメント10について、前記凹型部分に隣接する両側の前記凸型部分に、周方向に位置をずらせて前記トレッドウエアインジケータ3の成形部分13をそれぞれ一つずつ形成し、他のセグメント10については、トレッドウエアインジケータ3の成形部分13を有さないものとすることもできる。例えば、周方向に一つおきのセグメント10を、トレッドウエアインジケータ3の成形部分13を有するものとし、他の一つおきのセグメント10をトレッドウエアインジケータ3の成形部分13を有さないものとして交互に配置することもできる。   Further, in the case where the mold part for forming the tread surface is a mold composed of the segments 10 divided into a plurality in the circumferential direction, the tread wear is not necessarily formed on the convex part 11 forming the circumferential groove 1 for all the segments 10. It is not limited to the one where the molded portion 13 of the indicator 3 is formed, and at least one, preferably a plurality of segments 10 at substantially equal intervals in the circumferential direction, the convex portions on both sides adjacent to the concave portion, The molded portions 13 of the tread wear indicator 3 may be formed one by one in the circumferential direction, and the other segments 10 may not have the molded portion 13 of the tread wear indicator 3. For example, every other segment 10 in the circumferential direction has a molded portion 13 of the tread wear indicator 3 and every other segment 10 has no molded portion 13 of the tread wear indicator 3 alternately. It can also be arranged.

この場合も、前記トレッドウエアインジケータ3の成形部分13を有するセグメント10については、上記した実施例と同様に、前記ベントホール15を、前記凹型部分12における両側の側端近傍域に、それぞれ前記トレッドウエアインジケータ3の成形部分13の近傍位置を基点にして周方向に位置をずらせて交互に複数個ずつ配設する。そして、前記トレッドウエアインジケータ3の成形部分13を有さない他のセグメント10については、図4に例示するように、前記ベントホール15を、前記凹型部分12における両側の側端近傍域に周方向に位置をずらせて交互に1個もしくは複数個ずつ配設しておくものとする。これにより、タイヤ加硫成形金型の全周に渡って略均等にエアを排出できることになる。   Also in this case, for the segment 10 having the molded portion 13 of the tread wear indicator 3, the vent hole 15 is placed in the vicinity of the side edges on both sides of the concave portion 12, respectively, as in the above-described embodiment. A plurality of the wear indicators 3 are alternately arranged with their positions shifted in the circumferential direction starting from the position near the molded portion 13 of the wear indicator 3. And about the other segment 10 which does not have the shaping | molding part 13 of the said tread wear indicator 3, the said vent hole 15 is circumferential to the side edge vicinity area | region of the both sides in the said recessed mold part 12, so that it may illustrate in FIG. It is assumed that one or a plurality of them are alternately arranged with their positions shifted. Thereby, air can be discharged substantially uniformly over the entire circumference of the tire vulcanization mold.

図5は本発明の加硫成形金型により得られるタイヤのトレッドパターンの他の例を示す略示展開図である。   FIG. 5 is a schematic development view showing another example of a tread pattern of a tire obtained by the vulcanization mold of the present invention.

図5のトレッドパターンは、基本的に図2の場合と同様であるが、幅方向センター部の前記周方向リブ2が、タイヤ周方向にジグザグ状をなして連続する横溝を有さないジグザグ状リブ22であり、両側の前記周方向溝1内のトレッドウエアインジケータ3,3が、周方向に位置をずらせて前記ジグザグ状リブ22の屈折部外側角2aとの対応位置に設定されている。図5は前記リブ22のジグザグ形状を模式的に示したもので、これに限らず、タイヤのパターンに利用される種々のジグザグ形状による実施が可能である。   The tread pattern in FIG. 5 is basically the same as that in FIG. 2 except that the circumferential rib 2 in the center portion in the width direction has a zigzag shape that does not have a continuous lateral groove in a zigzag shape in the tire circumferential direction. The tread wear indicators 3 and 3 in the circumferential grooves 1 on both sides of the ribs 22 are set at positions corresponding to the refracted portion outer corners 2 a of the zigzag ribs 22 by shifting their positions in the circumferential direction. FIG. 5 schematically shows the zigzag shape of the ribs 22 and is not limited to this, and various zigzag shapes used for tire patterns are possible.

図6は図5のトレッドパターンを成形する前記セグメント10の型内面の主要部の略示正面図(a)と断面図(b)と成形されたタイヤ一部の断面図(c)を示しており、型内面には、上記した実施例と同様に、タイヤ周方向に延びる周方向溝1を成形する凸型部分11と、幅方向センター部の2条の前記凸型部分11,11の間でタイヤ周方向に連続する周方向リブ2としてのジグザグ状リブ22を成形する凹型部分12とを有し、前記両側の凸型部分11,11には、トレッドウエアインジケータ3,3の成形部分13,13が、それぞれ前記ジグザグ状リブ22の屈折部外側角2aを成形する部位12aとの対応位置に配置されている。   FIG. 6 shows a schematic front view (a) and a sectional view (b) of the main part of the inner surface of the mold of the segment 10 forming the tread pattern of FIG. 5, and a sectional view (c) of a part of the molded tire. As in the above-described embodiment, the inner surface of the mold is formed between the convex portion 11 for forming the circumferential groove 1 extending in the tire circumferential direction and the two convex portions 11, 11 in the width direction center portion. And the concave portion 12 for forming the zigzag rib 22 as the circumferential rib 2 continuous in the tire circumferential direction, and the convex portions 11, 11 on both sides are formed with the molded portions 13 of the tread wear indicators 3, 3. , 13 are respectively arranged at positions corresponding to the portions 12a for forming the refraction portion outer corners 2a of the zigzag ribs 22.

そして、図6に示すように、前記ジグザグ状リブ22を成形する凹型部分12の前記両側の側端近傍域において、前記ベントホール15を、前記トレッドウエアインジケータ3,3の成形部分13、13の近傍位置を基点にして、周方向における前記成形部分13の配置間隔毎に、前記ジグザグ状リブ22の屈折部外側角2aを成形する部位12aの内側近傍位置を含めて複数個ずつ交互に千鳥状配置をなすように周方向に位置をずらせて配設されている。図の場合は、前記屈折部外側角2aを成形する部位12a毎の内側近傍位置にベントホール15が形成されている。   Then, as shown in FIG. 6, in the vicinity of the side ends on both sides of the concave portion 12 for forming the zigzag rib 22, the vent hole 15 is connected to the molded portions 13, 13 of the treadwear indicators 3, 3. A plurality of staggered patterns alternately including a position in the vicinity of the inside 12a of the portion 12a for forming the refracted portion outer corner 2a of the zigzag rib 22 at every arrangement interval of the molding portion 13 in the circumferential direction with a neighboring position as a base point. The positions are shifted in the circumferential direction so as to be arranged. In the case of the figure, a vent hole 15 is formed at a position in the vicinity of the inner side of each part 12a for forming the refracting part outer corner 2a.

この場合、前記トレッドウエアインジケータ3,3の成形部分13,13を、前記ジグザグ状リブ22の屈折部外側角2aを成形する部位12aとの対応位置に形成しておくことで、前記のようにベントホール15を配置するのが容易になり、加硫成形時に最もゴム充填不良の生じ易い前記屈折部外側角2aを成形する部位12aにも確実にゴムが流入できることになる。   In this case, the molded portions 13 and 13 of the tread wear indicators 3 and 3 are formed at positions corresponding to the portions 12a of the zigzag rib 22 where the refracted portion outer corner 2a is molded, as described above. It becomes easy to arrange the vent hole 15, and the rubber can surely flow into the portion 12 a for forming the refracting portion outer corner 2 a that is most likely to cause defective filling of rubber at the time of vulcanization molding.

なお、本発明において、前記凸型部分11,11の両側の側端近傍域とは、前記周方向リブ2を成形する凹型部分12の幅によっても異なるが、通常、前記凸型部分11,11の基部からの距離が5mm以下、好ましく3mm以下のごく近い範囲の部分を指すものとする。また、前記成形部分13,13の近傍位置についても、前記同様に前記成形部分13,13からの距離が5mm以下、好ましくは3mm以下のごく近い範囲の位置を指すものとする。   In the present invention, the regions near the side edges on both sides of the convex portions 11 and 11 differ depending on the width of the concave portion 12 that forms the circumferential rib 2, but usually the convex portions 11 and 11. The distance from the base part of 5 is 5 mm or less, preferably 3 mm or less. Further, the position near the molded portions 13 and 13 is also a position in a very close range where the distance from the molded portions 13 and 13 is 5 mm or less, preferably 3 mm or less, as described above.

上記のような構成を有するタイヤ加硫成形用金型Aによるタイヤの加硫成形において、別の工程で成型された未加硫タイヤを前記金型Aのキャビティ19内に配置して、加硫成型を行う。この加硫成形時、トレッド面を成形する型部である前記セグメント10の内面において、周方向リブ2を成形する凹型部分12の両側の側端近傍域、すなわち周方向溝1を成形する凸型部分11、11の基部に沿う両側の側端近傍域に配設されたベントホール15が、前記凸型部分11、11におけるトレッドウエアインジケータ3の成形部分13の近傍位置を基点にして配設されているために、該トレッドウエアインジケータ3の成形部分13の近傍位置においても、該位置に有するベントホール15を通じてエア排出が確実になされることで、該部分の加硫成形時のゴム流入がスムーズになり、該凹型部分12と前記凸型部分11とが連続する隅部にまでゴムが充分に流入でき、ゴム充填不良が生じない。   In the vulcanization molding of a tire using the tire vulcanization mold A having the above-described configuration, an unvulcanized tire molded in a separate process is placed in the cavity 19 of the mold A and vulcanized. Perform molding. At the time of this vulcanization molding, on the inner surface of the segment 10 which is a mold part for molding the tread surface, the vicinity of the side ends on both sides of the concave mold part 12 for molding the circumferential rib 2, that is, the convex mold for molding the circumferential groove 1. A vent hole 15 disposed in the vicinity of the side edges on both sides along the base of the portions 11 and 11 is disposed based on the position near the molding portion 13 of the tread wear indicator 3 in the convex portions 11 and 11. Therefore, even in the vicinity of the molding portion 13 of the tread wear indicator 3, air is surely discharged through the vent hole 15 at the position, so that the rubber flows smoothly during vulcanization molding of the portion. Thus, the rubber can sufficiently flow into the corner where the concave portion 12 and the convex portion 11 are continuous, and no poor rubber filling occurs.

しかも、前記ベントホール15は、前記凹型部分12の両側の側端近傍域にそれぞれタイヤ周方向に間隔をおいて交互に配設されて千鳥状配置をなしているため、前記両側の側端近傍域のベントホール15が前記凹型部分12の幅方向に対応した位置にはならず、両側の側端近傍域それぞれのタイヤ周方向のベントホール15,15間の中央部でのエア排出も良好に行われ、ひいては周方向の全長にわたって略均等にゴム流れを誘導できる。それゆえ、周方向リブ2を有するタイヤをゴム充填不良を生じさせることなく加硫成形できることになる。   In addition, since the vent holes 15 are alternately arranged in the tire circumferential direction at intervals in the tire circumferential direction in the vicinity of the side ends on both sides of the concave portion 12, the vent holes 15 are arranged in a staggered manner. The vent hole 15 in the region does not correspond to the width direction of the concave portion 12, and air discharge at the center between the vent holes 15 and 15 in the tire circumferential direction in the region near the side edges on both sides is also good. It is possible to guide the rubber flow substantially evenly over the entire length in the circumferential direction. Therefore, the tire having the circumferential rib 2 can be vulcanized without causing poor rubber filling.

なお、前記ベントホール15は、タイヤの加硫成形時にエアを排出するとともに、ゴムが流入することによりスピュー(図示せず)を形成する。このスピューは、タイヤ成形後の仕上げ処理工程においてトリマーにより切除される。特に本発明の場合、前記凹型部分12の両側の側端近傍域にそれぞれのベントホール15が周方向に間隔をおいて配設されているため、前記トリマーによる切除作業も容易に行えることになる。   The vent hole 15 discharges air when the tire is vulcanized and forms a spew (not shown) when rubber flows in. This spew is cut by a trimmer in a finishing process after the tire is formed. Particularly in the case of the present invention, since the respective vent holes 15 are disposed in the vicinity of the side edges on both sides of the concave portion 12 at intervals in the circumferential direction, excision work by the trimmer can be easily performed. .

本発明は、周方向溝により区画されたタイヤ周方向に連続したリブを有するトレッドパターンのタイヤを加硫成形する場合に好適に利用できる。   INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY The present invention can be suitably used for vulcanization molding of a tread pattern tire having ribs continuous in the tire circumferential direction defined by circumferential grooves.
