Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、重荷重用空気入りラジアルタイヤに関し、更に詳しくは、リブパターンを有する重荷重用空気入りラジアルタイヤにおいて、摩耗初期に発生するショルダー側から数えて2番目のリブのレールウェイ摩耗を一層改善するようにした重荷重用空気入りラジアルタイヤに関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
トラックやバス等に使用されるリブパターンの重荷重用空気入りラジアルタイヤは、ショルダー側から数えて2番目のリブにおいて、摩耗初期にショルダー側縁部がセンター側縁部よりも摩耗が促進されるレールウェイ摩耗が発生し易い。
【0003】
従来、上述したレールウェイ摩耗の対策として、例えば、2番目のリブのショルダー側縁部にタイヤ周方向に延びる細溝を形成し、その2番目のリブを細溝により幅広リブと幅狭リブとに分割形成し、その幅狭リブの表面をテーパ面に形成するようにした技術の提案がある。このような幅狭リブを摩耗が促進されるショルダー側縁部に設けることにより、接地時の摩擦エネルギーをその幅狭リブに集中させて積極的に摩耗させることで、リブ本体となる幅広リブのショルダー側縁部の摩耗を抑制し、レールウェイ摩耗を改善するようにしたものである。
【0004】
しかしながら、上記のように犠牲となる幅狭リブを設けただけでは、レールウェイ摩耗の改善効果が十分とは言えず、更なる改善が望まれていた。
【0005】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
本発明の目的は、リブパターンを設けた重荷重用空気入りラジアルタイヤにおいて、摩耗初期段階におけるショルダー側から数えて2番目のリブの耐レールウェイ摩耗性を一層向上することが可能な重荷重用空気入りラジアルタイヤを提供することにある。
【0006】
【課題を解決するための手段】
上記目的を達成する本発明は、トレッド面にタイヤ周方向に延びる複数本の主溝を設け、該主溝によりタイヤ周方向に延びる複数のリブを区分形成し、ショルダー側から数えて2番目のリブのショルダー側縁部にタイヤ周方向に延びる細溝を形成し、該細溝により前記2番目のリブを幅広リブと幅狭リブとに分割形成し、該幅狭リブの表面をテーパ面に形成した重荷重用空気入りラジアルタイヤにおいて、ショルダー側から数えて1番目のリブの前記幅狭リブ側となる内側部表面を、該幅狭リブ側程タイヤ径方向内側に落ち込むようにしたタイヤ子午線断面直線状のテーパ面に形成したことを特徴とする。
【0007】
このように幅狭リブと対向するショルダー側のリブの内側部表面に幅狭リブ側程落ち込ませた断面直線状のテーパ面を設けることにより、接地時に幅狭リブを従来よりも大きく撓ませることができるようになる。そのため、摩耗エネルギーを幅狭リブにより集中させて、幅狭リブの摩耗を促進させることで、幅広リブのショルダー側縁部の摩耗をより抑えることができるので、摩耗初期の耐レールウェイ摩耗性を一層高めることができる。
【0008】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明の構成について添付の図面を参照しながら詳細に説明する。
図1は本発明の重荷重用空気入りラジアルタイヤの要部を示し、1はトレッド部、5はカーカス層、6はベルト層である。トレット部1のトレッド面1Aには、タイヤ周方向に延びる複数本の主溝2が設けられ、これら主溝2によりタイヤ周方向に延びる複数のリブ3が区分形成されている。ショルダー側から数えて2番目のリブ3Aのショルダー側縁部3Aaには、タイヤ周方向に延びる細溝4が形成され、その細溝4により2番目のリブ3Aが幅広リブ3A'と幅狭リブ3A'' とに分割形成されている。幅狭リブ3A'' はその表面3A''1がショルダー側程タイヤ径方向内側に次第に落ち込むようなテーパ面に形成されている。
【0009】
ショルダー側から数えて1番目のリブ(ショルダーリブ)3Bは、幅狭リブ3A'' 側となる内側部表面3B1が幅狭リブ3A'' 側程タイヤ径方向内側に次第に落ち込むようにしたタイヤ子午線断面直線状のテーパ面bに形成されている。また、そのテーパ面bとリブ3Bの表面3Bxとが接する部分Yが、図3に示すように、タイヤ子午線断面円弧状となるような面取り面yになっている。
【0010】
このように幅狭リブ3A'' に面するショルダー側のリブ3Bの内側部表面3B1を、幅狭リブ3A'' 側に向かう程内側に窪ませた断面直線状のテーパ面bにすることで、接地時の幅狭リブ3A'' の撓み量を、従来は図4(b)であったのを図4(a)に示すように大きくすることができ、それによって幅狭リブ3A'' の接地圧力が増大すると共に、幅狭リブ3A'' のテーパ状に形成された表面3A''1の接地性が高くなるので、その幅狭リブ3A'' に摩耗エネルギーを集中させる効果を更に高めることができる。そのため、リブ本体となる幅広リブ3A'のショルダー側縁部の摩耗を効果的に抑制し、摩耗初期段階でのレールウェイ摩耗をより改善することが可能になる。
【0011】
また、リブ3Bのテーパ面bとリブ表面3Bxとが接する部分Yを断面円弧状に面取りして滑らかな接続状態にすることにより、そのリブ3Bにおける耐偏摩耗性を改善することができる。
【0012】
本発明において、テーパ面bのタイヤ幅方向における幅Lとしては、1番目のリブ3Bのタイヤ幅方向における幅Wに対して、0.2〜0.5Wの範囲にすることができる。幅Lが0.2Wより小さいと、レールウェイ摩耗を効果的に改善することができず、逆に0.5Wより大きいと、トレッド全体の耐摩耗性が実用許容範囲を越えて低下する。好ましくは、幅Lを0.3〜0.5Wの範囲にするのが、レールウェイ摩耗をより効果的に改善する上でよい。
【0013】
テーパ面bの主溝2に面するエッジb1 のタイヤ径方向における落ち込み量Aとしては、主溝2の溝深さDに対して、0.1〜0.2Dの範囲にするのがよい。落ち込み量Aが0.1D未満であると、レールウェイ摩耗の改善効果を望めなくなる。逆に0.2Dを越えても、テーパー領域が滑り接触を起こし、逆に摩耗が促進されるため、レールウェイ摩耗を改善することができない。
【0014】
テーパ面bが接続する部分Yの面取り面yのタイヤ子午線断面における半径Rとしては、1mm以上にするのが好ましい。半径Rが1mm未満であると、レールウェイ摩耗を効果的に改善することができない。上限値としては、テーパ面bを必要長さ確保するため、5mmにするのがよい。
なお、本発明における重荷重用空気入りラジアルタイヤとは、JATMA YEAR BOOK 1997に規定されるトラック及びバス用のラジアルタイヤを指すものである。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a heavy-duty pneumatic radial tire, and more particularly, in a heavy-duty pneumatic radial tire having a rib pattern, further improves the rail wear of the second rib counted from the shoulder side that occurs in the initial stage of wear. The present invention relates to a heavy-duty pneumatic radial tire.
[0002]
[Prior art]
A heavy-duty pneumatic radial tire with a rib pattern used for trucks, buses, etc. is a rail whose shoulder side edge is more accelerated in the initial stage of wear than the center side edge in the second rib counted from the shoulder side. Way wear is likely to occur.
[0003]
Conventionally, as a countermeasure against the above-described railway wear, for example, a narrow groove extending in the tire circumferential direction is formed on the shoulder side edge of the second rib, and the second rib is formed into a wide rib and a narrow rib by the narrow groove. There is a proposal of a technique in which the surface of the narrow rib is formed into a tapered surface. By providing such a narrow rib on the shoulder side edge where wear is promoted, the friction energy at the time of grounding is concentrated on the narrow rib and actively worn, so that the wide rib that becomes the rib body The wear on the shoulder side edge is suppressed, and the wear on the railway is improved.
[0004]
However, the provision of narrow ribs that are sacrificed as described above does not provide sufficient improvement in rail wear, and further improvements have been desired.
[0005]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
An object of the present invention is a heavy duty pneumatic tire provided with a rib pattern, which is capable of further improving the railway wear resistance of the second rib counted from the shoulder side in the initial stage of wear. It is to provide a radial tire.
[0006]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The present invention that achieves the above object is provided with a plurality of main grooves extending in the tire circumferential direction on the tread surface, and a plurality of ribs extending in the tire circumferential direction are sectioned by the main grooves, and the second one counting from the shoulder side. A narrow groove extending in the tire circumferential direction is formed at the shoulder side edge of the rib, and the second rib is divided into a wide rib and a narrow rib by the narrow groove, and the surface of the narrow rib is a tapered surface. A tire meridian cross section in which the inner surface of the narrow rib side of the first rib counted from the shoulder side falls into the inner side in the tire radial direction in the formed heavy-duty pneumatic radial tire. It is characterized by being formed on a linear tapered surface.
[0007]
In this way, by providing a taper surface with a straight cross-section that is depressed toward the narrow rib side on the inner surface of the shoulder side rib facing the narrow rib, the narrow rib is bent more greatly than before when grounding. Will be able to. Therefore, by concentrating the wear energy on the narrow ribs and accelerating the wear of the narrow ribs, the wear on the shoulder side edge of the wide ribs can be further suppressed. It can be further enhanced.
[0008]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, the configuration of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
FIG. 1 shows a main part of a heavy-duty pneumatic radial tire according to the present invention, wherein 1 is a tread portion, 5 is a carcass layer, and 6 is a belt layer. A plurality of main grooves 2 extending in the tire circumferential direction are provided on the tread surface 1 </ b> A of the tread portion 1, and a plurality of ribs 3 extending in the tire circumferential direction are partitioned by these main grooves 2. A narrow groove 4 extending in the tire circumferential direction is formed on the shoulder side edge 3Aa of the second rib 3A counted from the shoulder side, and the second rib 3A is formed into a wide rib 3A 'and a narrow rib by the narrow groove 4. It is divided into 3A ″. The narrow rib 3A ″ is formed in a tapered surface such that the surface 3A ″ 1 gradually falls inward in the tire radial direction toward the shoulder side.
[0009]
The first rib (shoulder rib) 3B counted from the shoulder side is a tire meridian in which the inner surface 3B1 on the narrow rib 3A ″ side gradually falls inward in the tire radial direction toward the narrow rib 3A ″ side. It is formed on a tapered surface b having a linear cross section. A portion Y where the tapered surface b and the surface 3Bx of the rib 3B are in contact with each other is a chamfered surface y having a circular arc shape of the tire meridian as shown in FIG.
[0010]
In this way, the inner side surface 3B1 of the shoulder side rib 3B facing the narrow rib 3A ″ is formed into a tapered surface b having a linear cross section that is recessed inward toward the narrow rib 3A ″. The bending amount of the narrow rib 3A ″ at the time of grounding can be increased as shown in FIG. 4A from what was conventionally shown in FIG. 4B, whereby the narrow rib 3A ″ is increased. As the contact pressure of the narrow rib 3A ″ increases, the contact property of the tapered surface 3A ″ 1 increases, so that the wear energy is further concentrated on the narrow rib 3A ″. Can be increased. Therefore, it is possible to effectively suppress wear on the shoulder side edge portion of the wide rib 3A ′ serving as the rib body, and to further improve the railway wear at the initial stage of wear.
[0011]
Further, uneven wear resistance in the rib 3B can be improved by chamfering the portion Y where the tapered surface b of the rib 3B and the rib surface 3Bx are in contact with each other in a circular arc shape in a cross-sectional shape.
[0012]
In the present invention, the width L of the tapered surface b in the tire width direction can be set in the range of 0.2 to 0.5 W with respect to the width W of the first rib 3B in the tire width direction. When the width L is smaller than 0.2 W, the rail wear cannot be effectively improved. Conversely, when the width L is larger than 0.5 W, the wear resistance of the entire tread is lowered beyond the practical allowable range. Preferably, the width L is in the range of 0.3 to 0.5 W in order to more effectively improve the rail wear.
[0013]
The amount of depression A in the tire radial direction of the edge b1 facing the main groove 2 of the tapered surface b is preferably in the range of 0.1 to 0.2D with respect to the groove depth D of the main groove 2. If the sagging amount A is less than 0.1D, the effect of improving the rail wear cannot be expected. On the other hand, even if it exceeds 0.2D, the tapered region causes sliding contact, and conversely, wear is promoted, so that the rail wear cannot be improved.
[0014]
The radius R in the tire meridian section of the chamfered surface y of the portion Y to which the tapered surface b is connected is preferably 1 mm or more. When the radius R is less than 1 mm, the rail wear cannot be effectively improved. The upper limit value is preferably 5 mm in order to secure the necessary length of the tapered surface b.
The heavy-duty pneumatic radial tire in the present invention refers to a radial tire for trucks and buses as defined in JATMA YEAR BOOK 1997.
[0015]
【Example】
Example 1
In the tread pattern in which the tire size is common to 11R22.5, four main grooves are provided, and five ribs are sectioned by the main grooves, the narrow ribs and the shoulder side ribs are provided with tapered surfaces as shown in FIG. The tire of the present invention and the conventional tire provided with only narrow ribs in the tire of the present invention were produced.
[0016]
Each of these test tires is mounted on a rim having a rim size of 22.5 × 7.50, and an evaluation test of the abrasion resistance of the second rib (wide rib) counted from the shoulder side is performed under the following measurement conditions. As a result, the results shown in Table 1 were obtained.
Railway wear resistance Each test tire is mounted at a pressure of 700 kPa on a vehicle with a total vehicle weight of 20 tons, and the incidence of rail wear on the second rib when traveling on a general roadway for 40,000 km is measured. Was evaluated with an index value where the conventional tire was 100. The larger this value, the better the resistance to railway wear.
[0017]
[Table 1]
Figure 0003825914
[0018]
From Table 1, it can be seen that the tire of the present invention can further improve the conventional tire in which narrow ribs are provided to improve railway wear.
[0019]
Example 2
Test tires 1 to 7 having the same tire size and tread pattern as the tire of the present invention of Example 1 and changing the width L of the tapered surface of the shoulder rib as shown in Table 2 and the conventional tire of Example 1 Produced. Both the test tires 1 to 7 have a common taper surface edge drop A of 0.15D and a chamfered surface radius R of 5 mm.
[0020]
Each of these test tires is mounted on a rim having the same size as in Example 1, and an evaluation test for the resistance to rail wear is performed according to the measurement conditions described above, and the wear resistance of the entire tread is determined according to the measurement conditions described below. When the evaluation test was conducted, the results shown in Table 2 were obtained.
Abrasion resistance Each test tire was mounted on a vehicle in the same manner as in Example 1, and the travel distance per unit wear amount of the entire tread when traveling on a general roadway was measured 40,000 km. It was evaluated with the index value. The higher this value, the better the wear resistance.
[0021]
[Table 2]
Figure 0003825914
[0022]
From Table 2, it can be seen that the width L of the tapered surface is preferably 0.2 to 0.5 W with respect to the rib width W. Moreover, it turns out that rail wear is greatly improved with 110 or more by making the width | variety L into 0.3-0.5W. If the wear resistance is 95 or more, there is no problem in the practical tolerance.
[0023]
Example 3
Test tires 8 to 13 having the same tire size and tread pattern as those of the tire of the present invention in Example 1 and with the amount A of the taper edge falling down as shown in Table 3 were prepared. In each test tire, the width L of the tapered surface is 0.4 W, and the radius R of the chamfered surface is 5 mm.
[0024]
When each of these test tires was mounted on a rim having the same size as that of Example 1, and an evaluation test for rail wear resistance was performed under the measurement conditions shown in Example 1, the results shown in Table 3 were obtained.
[0025]
[Table 3]
Figure 0003825914
[0026]
From Table 3, it can be seen that the amount of sagging A of the tapered surface should be 0.1 to 0.2D.
[0027]
Example 4
Test tires 14 to 22 having the same tire size and tread pattern as the tire of the present invention of Example 1 and the chamfered surface radius R as shown in Table 4 and conventional tires of Example 1 were produced. The test tires 14 to 22 have a common taper width L of 0.4 W and a taper surface edge drop amount A of 0.15D.
[0028]
When each of these test tires was mounted on a rim having the same size as in Example 1, and an evaluation test for the resistance to rail wear was performed under the measurement conditions shown in Example 1, the results shown in Table 4 were obtained.
[0029]
[Table 4]
Figure 0003825914
[0030]
From Table 4, it can be seen that the radius of the chamfered surface should be 1 mm or more.
[0031]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, the present invention provides a heavy-duty pneumatic radial tire in which a narrow rib is formed on a second rib counted from the shoulder side, and an inner portion on the narrow rib side of the first rib counted from the shoulder side. Since the surface is formed on the tapered surface of the tire meridian cross section that falls to the inner side in the tire radial direction toward the narrow rib side, wear energy is further applied to the narrow rib than when only the narrow rib is provided at the time of ground contact. Since they can be concentrated, the rail wear of the wide rib serving as the rib main body of the second rib can be further improved.
