(Frame dimensions)
Below, the dimension of the frame which concerns on 1st Embodiment is demonstrated. 5-7 is a figure which shows the frame 320 which concerns on 1st Embodiment. 5 and 6 show a state where the base body 330 is accommodated in the frame body 320. FIG. FIG. 7 is a view of the frame 320 as seen from above.

As shown in FIG. 5, the height from the upper surface of the frame body of the bottom plate 321 to the side wall locking piece 323 (claw portion 326) is _H323 in the tire radial direction. In the tire radial direction, the height of the base body 330 is _H330 . In the tire circumferential direction, the length of the base body 330 is _L330 .

In the first embodiment, the distance between the pair of first wall bodies 322 is equal to the length L ₃₃₀ of the base body 330 in the tire circumferential direction. Therefore, the movement of the base body 330 in the tire circumferential direction is restricted by the pair of first wall bodies 322. In other words, the base body 330 is disposed on the upper surface of the frame body 320 so as to fit between the pair of first wall bodies 322.

In the first embodiment, in the tire radial direction, the height _{H 323} of the frame upper surface of the bottom plate 321 to the sidewall locking piece 323 (claw portions 326), the height of the substrate 330 is equal to _{H 330.} Accordingly, the base 330 is fitted between the upper surface of the frame body of the bottom plate 321 and the side wall locking pieces 323 (claw portions 326). That is, the movement of the base body 330 in the tire radial direction is regulated by the side wall locking pieces 323 (claw portions 326).

As shown in FIG. 6, the height from the upper surface of the frame body of the bottom plate 321 to the folded claw portion 327 is H ₃₂₇ in the tire radial direction. In the tire width direction, the width of the base body 330 is _W330 . In the tire width direction, the width of the insertion piece 350 is _W350 .

In the first embodiment, in the tire radial direction, the height _{H 327} of the frame upper surface of the bottom plate 321 to the folded claw portion 327, the height of the substrate 330 is equal to _{H 330.} Accordingly, the turn-up claw portion 327 restricts the movement of the base body 330 in the tire radial direction.

In the first embodiment, in the tire width direction, the interval of the second wall 324 and the second wall 325 is equal to the sum of the width _{W 350} of the width _{W 330} and insert 350 of the substrate 330. Therefore, the movement of the base body 330 in the tire width direction is restricted by the insertion piece 350 between the second wall body 324 and the second wall body 325.

As shown in FIG. 7, the width of the frame body 320 is W ₃₂₀ in the tire width direction.

Here, the width W ₃₂₀ of the frame body ₃₂₀ is larger than the width W _{330 of the} base body 330. The difference between the width W ₃₂₀ and the width W ₃₃₀ is equal to the width W ₃₅₀ of the insertion piece 350, as will be described later. Therefore, as described above, the insertion piece 350 restricts the movement of the base body 330 in the tire width direction.

The length L ₃₂₀ of the frame body ₃₂₀ is equal to the length L ₃₃₀ of the base body 330. Therefore, the movement of the base body 330 in the tire circumferential direction is restricted by the pair of first wall bodies 322.

The width W ₃₃₁ of the convex portion 331 is at least smaller than the gap G ₃₂₆ of the claw portion 326. Similarly, the width W ₃₂₆ of the claw portion 326 is at least smaller than the gap G ₃₃₁ between the convex portions 331. In the tire circumferential direction, the length of the claw portion 326 is at least smaller than the length of the convex portion 331. Therefore, the base body 330 can be accommodated in the frame body 320 from the tire radial direction.

In addition, it is preferable that the width W ₃₃₁ of the convex portion 331 is equal to the interval G ₃₂₆ of the claw portion 326. Similarly, the width W ₃₂₆ of the claw portion 326 is preferably equal to the interval G ₃₃₁ of the convex portion 331.

Here, the pair of arm portions 352 of the (insert 350) _{length, L 352} is equal to the length _{L 320} of the frame 320. Accordingly, the pair of first wall bodies 322 restricts the movement of the insertion piece 350 in the tire circumferential direction.

The height H ₃₅₂ of the pair of arm portions 352 (insertion pieces 350) is equal to the height H ₃₂₃ from the upper surface of the frame body of the bottom plate 321 to the side wall locking pieces 323 (claw portions 326). Therefore, the movement of the insertion piece 350 with respect to the tire radial direction is restricted by the side wall locking piece 323 (claw portion 326).

Further, in the tire width direction, the distance between the second wall body 324 and the second wall body 325 (that is, the width W _{320 of the} frame body ₃₂₀ ) is equal to the width W _{330 of the} base body ₃₃₀ and the insertion piece 350 (a pair of arm portions 352).

In FIG. 16, the frame body 320, the base body 330, and the insertion piece 350 are omitted for simplification.

  As shown in FIG. 16, when the mounting structure 300 is bonded to the inner surface of the tire 100, when the tire 100 contacts the road surface, the centripetal force generated along with the rotation of the tire 100 depends on the portion of the mounting structure 300. Different.

  Specifically, in the tire circumferential direction (rotation direction), the tire 100 corresponding to the front portion of the mounting structure 300 is grounded to the road surface, and the tire 100 corresponding to the rear portion of the mounting structure 300 is grounded to the road surface. Think about a case that hasn't. In such a case, the centripetal force at the front portion of the mounting structure 300 is smaller than the centripetal force at the rear portion of the mounting structure 300. Therefore, in the tire circumferential direction (rotational direction), a stress that falls forward is applied to the mounting structure 300.

  Similarly, in the tire circumferential direction (rotation direction), the tire 100 corresponding to the front portion of the mounting structure 300 is not grounded to the road surface, and the tire 100 corresponding to the rear portion of the mounting structure 300 is grounded to the road surface. Think about the case. In such a case, the centripetal force at the rear portion of the mounting structure 300 is smaller than the centripetal force at the front portion of the mounting structure 300. Therefore, in the tire circumferential direction (rotation direction), a stress that falls to the rear side with respect to the mounting structure 300 is applied.

  As the tire 100 rotates, when a stress that falls to the front side or a stress that falls to the rear side is repeatedly applied to the mounting structure 300, a behavior that the mounting structure 300 swings back and forth occurs.

  In order to maintain sufficient rigidity with respect to such behavior, the mounting structure 300 according to the first modification has the following configuration.

(Configuration of mounting structure)
Below, the structure of the attachment structure which concerns on the modification 1 is demonstrated. FIG. 17 is a view showing the attachment structure 300 according to the first embodiment.

  As shown in FIG. 17, the attachment structure 300 includes a neck portion 260 in addition to the configuration shown in FIG.

  In the tire circumferential direction, the size of the neck portion 260 is smaller than the sizes of the base body 330 and the functional component 340. The neck 260 may be considered as a part of the base body 330 or may be considered as a part of the functional component 340.

As shown in FIG. 18, the height of the neck 260 is H ₂₆₀ in the tire radial direction. In the tire radial direction, the thickness of the side wall locking piece 323 is _T323 .

Here, the side wall locking piece 323 is bent at the position of the neck 260 and is disposed between the base 330 and the functional component 340. The height H ₂₆₀ of the neck 260 is preferably equal to the thickness T ₃₂₃ of the side wall locking piece 323. As a result, the functional component 340 fulfills the function of pressing the side wall locking pieces 323, so that sufficient rigidity can be maintained with respect to the swing motion described above. In other words, the side wall locking pieces 323 are prevented from lifting in the tire radial direction and spreading outward in the tire circumferential direction.

The tip of the arm portion 352B is bent.

  On the other hand, in the modified example 2, as shown in FIG. 19, the distal ends of the arm portions 352A and 352B are inserted so that the distal ends of the arm portions 352A and 352B are inserted into holes provided in the frame 320. Is bent.
