Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、トレッド面にブロック及び/又はリブを備えた空気入りタイヤに関し、さらに詳しくは、スタッドレスタイヤのアイス性能及び耐摩耗性の向上に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
タイヤトレッドにブロック及び/又はリブを備えた空気入りタイヤにおいては、ブロック及び/又はリブにサイプを刻んで、サイプのエッジ効果、除水効果、粘着効果を上げてきた。さらに、ブロック又はリブの側壁に断面ジグザグ形状の切り欠き溝を刻み、該切り欠き溝の山部によるエッジ効果が増大することにより、アイス性能の向上を図ってきた。ブロックの側壁に断面ジグザグ形状の切り欠き溝を刻まれた空気入りタイヤの例として、特許文献1に開示された空気入りタイヤが知られている。
【0003】
【特許文献1】
特許公報第2700984号(第1〜3頁、第1、3図)
【0004】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
かかる従来技術の空気入りタイヤにおいては、切り欠き溝の山部は鋭角となっていることが多く、特にエッジ効果を高めるために切り欠き溝の数を多くした場合、山部を鋭角とせざるを得ないので、必然的に当該山部の剛性は他の部分に比べて低くなる。その結果、制動時など前後力、旋回時の横力を負荷として受けた場合、当該山部が動きやすくなり接地圧が不均一となり、接地面積の低下を招きエッジ効果が低下し、制動性能や旋回性能が低下することがあった。また、新品時はもちろん摩耗進行時においても、当該山部の剛性が低い状態であるので、段差摩耗が発生しやすい問題点もあった。
【0005】
本発明の目的は、アイス性能の向上及び段差摩耗を抑制することにある。
【0006】
【課題を解決するための手段】
上記課題を解決するため、鋭意検討した結果、請求項1に記載の発明は、トレッドに刻まれたタイヤ周方向に連なる主溝と前記主溝同士を連通する横溝とによって区画されたブロック、及び/又は、前記主溝により区画されたリブを備えた空気入りタイヤにおいて、
前記ブロック及び/又は前記リブの側壁に断面ジグザグ形状の切り欠き溝が刻まれ、前記切り欠き溝の山部は平坦部を備えた空気入りタイヤとした。
【0007】
切り欠き溝の山部が平坦部を備えているので、鋭角的な山部とは異なり山部の剛性は他の部分に比べて極端に剛性が低下することはない。そのため、制動時など前後力や旋回時の横力を受けても、動きが抑えられ接地圧が不均一とならない。その結果、接地面積の低下を招くことなくエッジ効果を発揮でき、制動性能や旋回性能が向上される。また、山部の剛性の低下が抑えられているので、他の部分との剛性差が小さくなり段差摩耗を防止することができる。
【0008】
請求項2に記載の発明は、前記平坦部の幅X1は、前記切り欠き溝のピッチXの20%〜70%である請求項1に記載の空気入りタイヤとした。
【0009】
切り欠き溝のピッチXに対して、平坦部の幅X1がピッチXの20%未満であると、剛性低下抑制の効果が小さい。逆に、ピッチXの70%を越えると、切り欠き溝6によるエッジ効果が小さくアイス性能があまり向上しない。
【0010】
請求項3に記載の発明は、前記切り欠き溝の深さX2は、前記切り欠き溝のピッチXの15%〜55%である請求項1に記載の空気入りタイヤとした。
【0011】
前記切り欠き溝の深さX2がピッチXの15%未満であると、切り欠き溝によるエッジ効果が小さい。逆に、ピッチXの55%を越えると、山部全体が薄くなり剛性が低下してしまう。
【0012】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、図面を用いて、本発明に係る空気入りタイヤの一実施形態を説明する。図1は本発明に係る空気入りタイヤの一実施形態におけるパターンを示す概略図である。図2は、同パターンにおいて、説明のため1つのブロックについての詳細を示す図である。
【0013】
図1及び図2において、トレッド1の表面には、周方向Rに連なる主溝2と、主溝2同士を連通する横溝3が刻まれている。主溝2及び横溝3によってブロック4が形成されている。ブロック4にはサイプ5が刻まれている。ブロック4の側壁には、断面ジグザグ形状の切り欠き溝6が刻まれている。切り欠き溝6の山部7は鋭角的な突起を有さず、平坦部7aを備えている。
【0014】
ブロック4の側壁に断面ジグザグ形状の切り欠き溝6が刻まれ、切り欠き溝6の山部7は鋭角的な突起を有さず平坦部7aを備えているので、山部7の剛性が低下することはない。そのため、制動時、駆動時の前後力や旋回時の横力が負荷として加わっても山部7の動きが抑えられる。その結果、山部7の接地圧が低下することがないので、接地面積の減少を招くことがない。切り欠き溝6のエッジ効果が高められ、駆動・制動性能や旋回性能が向上する。
【0015】
また、山部7とそれ以外の部分との剛性差も小さくなっているので、段差摩耗の発生も抑えることができる。
【0016】
平坦部7aの幅X1は、切り欠き溝6のピッチX(隣接する山部の間隔)の20%〜70%とすることが好ましい。ピッチXの20%未満であると、平坦部7aの幅X1が小さいので山部7の剛性向上の効果が小さい。逆に、X1の70%を越えると、切り欠き溝6によるエッジ効果が小さくアイス性能があまり向上しない。
【0017】
切り欠き溝6の深さX2(切り欠き溝6の山部7から谷部8までの距離)は、切り欠き溝6のピッチXの15%〜55%とすることが好ましい。ピッチXの15%未満であると、切り欠き溝6によるエッジ効果が小さい。逆に、ピッチXの55%を越えると、山部7全体が薄くなり剛性が低下してしまう。
【0018】
本発明は上記実施形態に限定されない。例えば、図3に示すように、タイヤセンター領域にて主溝2によってリブ9が形成され、タイヤショルダー領域及びタイヤ中間領域にブロック4がそれぞれ形成されているパターンであってもよい。この実施形態のタイヤは、リブ9の中央部にタイヤ周方向に波状に延びる波型溝が設けられている。そして、ブロック4及びリブ9にサイプ5が刻まれている。ブロック4及びリブ9の側壁には、断面ジグザグ形状の切り欠き溝6が刻まれている。この実施形態のタイヤも、切り欠き溝6の山部7は鋭角的な突起を有さず、平坦部7aを備えている。このタイヤは、ブロック4のみならず、リブ9の側壁に刻まれた切り欠き溝6によっても、先のブロック4で説明したのと同様の効果を得ることができる。
【0019】
このようなことから、本発明のタイヤは、図3に示すように、サイプ5は、いずれの方向に延びるサイプであってもよい。また、ブロック4やリブ9の側壁に開口するオープンサイプのほか、一端又は両端がブロック4内やリブ9内で閉塞しているクローズドサイプであってもよく、なお、欠けやクラックの防止の観点から、サイプ5が側壁に開口するオープンサイプの場合、図2に示すように切り欠き溝6の谷部8に開口していることが好ましい。
【0020】
以上、ブロック及びリブを備えた空気入りタイヤについての実施形態を説明したが、リブのみ、又はブロックのみを備えた空気入りタイヤにおいて、主溝や横溝の側壁に平坦部を備えた切り欠き溝を刻んでも、同様の効果を得ることができる。また、特定のブロックもしくはブロック列やリブの側壁にのみ平坦部を備えた切り欠き溝を刻んでもよく、ブロックやリブの一部の側壁にのみ平坦部を備えた切り欠き溝を刻んでもよい。
【0021】
【実施例】
本発明に係る空気入りタイヤを試作して性能評価を行った。実施例1、2及び比較例1、2のタイヤは、図2に示した形状のブロックを有する図1のパターンを有したタイヤであり、平坦部の幅X1は実施例では0.3X、0.6X、比較例では0.1X、0.8Xである。従来例は、図4に示すように切り欠き溝6の山部7は鋭角部を備えたタイヤである。実施例、従来例、比較例のいずれにおいても、切り欠き溝6の深さX2は0.3Xで、タイヤサイズは195/65R15であり、排気量2000ccの前輪駆動乗用車に装着して、性能評価を行った。
【0022】
性能評価の結果を表1に示す。表1において、アイス制動性能はアイス路面上40km/hからのフルロック制動距離の逆数を、アイス旋回性能はアイス路面(8の字路)走行のラップタイムの逆数を、耐摩耗性能は8000km走行後の段差摩耗量の逆数をそれぞれ示し、比較例を100とした指数で表示している。したがって、指数が大きいほど性能が良いことを表す。表1によれば、アイス性能(制動及び旋回)及び耐摩耗性能のいずれも性能が向上している。

【発明の効果】
以上の通り、本発明の空気入りタイヤでは、ブロック及び/又はリブの側壁に断面ジグザグ形状の切り欠き溝を刻み、切り欠き溝の山部に平坦部を設けた構造としたので、山部の剛性が高くなる。その結果、山部の動きが抑えられ接地圧が均一化されるので、接地面積が増大しアイス性能が向上する。また、剛性差が小さくなるので段差摩耗の発生が抑制される。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a pneumatic tire provided with blocks and / or ribs on a tread surface, and more particularly to improvement of ice performance and wear resistance of a studless tire.
[0002]
[Prior art]
In a pneumatic tire provided with blocks and / or ribs on a tire tread, sipes are cut into the blocks and / or ribs to improve the edge effect, water removal effect, and adhesive effect of the sipe. Furthermore, notch grooves having a zigzag cross section are formed on the side walls of the blocks or ribs, and the edge effect by the crests of the notch grooves is increased, thereby improving the ice performance. A pneumatic tire disclosed in Patent Document 1 is known as an example of a pneumatic tire in which a notch groove having a zigzag cross section is cut in a side wall of a block.
[0003]
[Patent Document 1]
Japanese Patent Publication No. 2700904 (pages 1 to 3, FIGS. 1, 3)
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
In such conventional pneumatic tires, the crests of the cutout grooves are often acute angles, and particularly when the number of cutout grooves is increased to enhance the edge effect, the crests must be sharpened. Since it cannot obtain, the rigidity of the said peak part inevitably becomes low compared with another part. As a result, when a longitudinal force such as braking or a lateral force during turning is received as a load, the mountain portion easily moves and the contact pressure becomes non-uniform, resulting in a decrease in the contact area and the edge effect. The turning performance may be reduced. Further, there is a problem that step wear is likely to occur because the rigidity of the peak portion is low even when the wear is advanced as well as when it is new.
[0005]
An object of the present invention is to improve ice performance and suppress step wear.
[0006]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
As a result of intensive studies in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the invention according to claim 1 is characterized in that a block defined by a main groove engraved in a tread in a tire circumferential direction and a lateral groove communicating the main grooves, and / Or in a pneumatic tire having ribs defined by the main grooves,
A notched groove having a zigzag cross section was cut in the side wall of the block and / or the rib, and the crest portion of the notched groove was a pneumatic tire provided with a flat portion.
[0007]
Since the crest portion of the cutout groove has a flat portion, the rigidity of the crest portion does not extremely decrease compared to other portions, unlike an acute crest portion. Therefore, even if a longitudinal force such as braking or a lateral force during turning is applied, the movement is suppressed and the ground pressure does not become uneven. As a result, the edge effect can be exhibited without causing a reduction in the contact area, and the braking performance and turning performance are improved. Moreover, since the fall of the rigidity of a peak part is suppressed, the difference in rigidity with another part becomes small and step wear can be prevented.
[0008]
The invention according to claim 2 is the pneumatic tire according to claim 1, wherein the width X1 of the flat portion is 20% to 70% of the pitch X of the notch grooves.
[0009]
When the width X1 of the flat portion is less than 20% of the pitch X with respect to the pitch X of the notch grooves, the effect of suppressing the reduction in rigidity is small. On the contrary, if it exceeds 70% of the pitch X, the edge effect by the notch groove 6 is small and the ice performance is not improved so much.
[0010]
The invention according to claim 3 is the pneumatic tire according to claim 1, wherein the depth X2 of the notch groove is 15% to 55% of the pitch X of the notch groove.
[0011]
When the depth X2 of the notch groove is less than 15% of the pitch X, the edge effect by the notch groove is small. On the contrary, if it exceeds 55% of the pitch X, the entire peak portion becomes thin and the rigidity is lowered.
[0012]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, an embodiment of a pneumatic tire according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a schematic view showing a pattern in one embodiment of a pneumatic tire according to the present invention. FIG. 2 is a diagram showing details of one block in the same pattern for explanation.
[0013]
1 and 2, a main groove 2 continuous in the circumferential direction R and a lateral groove 3 communicating the main grooves 2 are engraved on the surface of the tread 1. A block 4 is formed by the main groove 2 and the lateral groove 3. A sipe 5 is engraved on the block 4. A cutout groove 6 having a zigzag cross section is formed on the side wall of the block 4. The crest portion 7 of the cutout groove 6 does not have an acute protrusion and has a flat portion 7a.
[0014]
A notch groove 6 having a zigzag cross section is carved on the side wall of the block 4, and the peak portion 7 of the notch groove 6 does not have an acute projection and is provided with a flat portion 7a, so that the rigidity of the peak portion 7 is reduced. Never do. Therefore, the movement of the mountain portion 7 can be suppressed even when the longitudinal force at the time of braking or the lateral force at the time of turning is applied as a load. As a result, since the contact pressure of the peak portion 7 does not decrease, the contact area does not decrease. The edge effect of the notch groove 6 is enhanced, and driving / braking performance and turning performance are improved.
[0015]
Further, since the difference in rigidity between the peak portion 7 and other portions is also small, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of step wear.
[0016]
The width X1 of the flat portion 7a is preferably 20% to 70% of the pitch X of the notch grooves 6 (interval between adjacent peaks). If it is less than 20% of the pitch X, the width X1 of the flat portion 7a is small, so the effect of improving the rigidity of the peak portion 7 is small. On the contrary, if it exceeds 70% of X1, the edge effect by the notch groove 6 will be small and ice performance will not improve so much.
[0017]
The depth X2 of the notch groove 6 (the distance from the peak 7 to the valley 8 of the notch 6) is preferably 15% to 55% of the pitch X of the notch 6. If it is less than 15% of the pitch X, the edge effect by the notch groove 6 is small. On the contrary, if it exceeds 55% of the pitch X, the entire peak portion 7 becomes thin and the rigidity is lowered.
[0018]
The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment. For example, as shown in FIG. 3, the rib 9 may be formed by the main groove 2 in the tire center region, and the blocks 4 may be formed in the tire shoulder region and the tire middle region. In the tire of this embodiment, a corrugated groove extending in a wavy shape in the tire circumferential direction is provided at the center of the rib 9. A sipe 5 is carved on the block 4 and the rib 9. Cutout grooves 6 having a zigzag cross section are formed on the side walls of the blocks 4 and the ribs 9. Also in the tire of this embodiment, the crest portion 7 of the notch groove 6 does not have an acute protrusion and has a flat portion 7a. In the tire, not only the block 4 but also the notch groove 6 carved in the side wall of the rib 9 can obtain the same effect as described in the block 4 above.
[0019]
For this reason, in the tire of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 3, the sipe 5 may be a sipe extending in any direction. Further, in addition to the open sipe that opens to the side walls of the block 4 and the rib 9, a closed sipe in which one end or both ends are closed in the block 4 or the rib 9 may be used. Therefore, in the case of an open sipe in which the sipe 5 is opened in the side wall, it is preferable that the sipe 5 is opened in the valley portion 8 of the notch groove 6 as shown in FIG.
[0020]
As mentioned above, although the embodiment about the pneumatic tire provided with the block and the rib was described, in the pneumatic tire provided only with the rib or only the block, the notch groove provided with the flat part on the side wall of the main groove or the lateral groove is provided. Even if chopped, the same effect can be obtained. Further, a notch groove having a flat portion may be cut only on a specific block or block row or a side wall of the rib, or a notch groove having a flat portion may be cut only on a part of the side wall of the block or rib.
[0021]
