Description

  The present invention relates to a pneumatic tire (hereinafter, also simply referred to as “tire”), and in particular, can balance side cut resistance and steering stability at a high level, and is excellent when applied to a run-flat tire. Further, the present invention relates to a carcass ply reinforcement cord that exhibits run-flat durability.

  Conventionally, as a technique for improving the durability and steering stability of a tire, it has been known to improve the rigidity of a carcass reinforcing material. Conventionally, aramid or rayon having high tensile rigidity has been used to improve durability. However, since aramid and rayon are expensive, they are not preferable from the viewpoint of manufacturing cost. Thus, an inexpensive polyethylene terephthalate (PET) cord has attracted attention as a carcass reinforcing material. However, general-purpose PET does not have high tensile rigidity compared to aramid or rayon. Therefore, tire durability is improved by using low thermal shrinkage PET having higher tensile rigidity than general-purpose PET.

  As a technique using low heat shrinkage PET as a carcass reinforcing material, for example, Patent Document 1 can be cited. In Patent Document 1, by using PET with low heat shrinkage as a reinforcing material for carcass, it is possible to suppress surface irregularities generated at the carcass winding end of the side portion, thereby enabling reduction in tire weight and improvement in productivity. A pneumatic radial tire is proposed.

JP 2000-301910 A

  In recent years, in order to reduce manufacturing costs, the weight of rubber constituting a tire has been reduced. However, when high-rigid fibers such as rayon or aramid are used as a reinforcing cord for a carcass ply, when the tire is lightened, there is a risk that these fibers have low toughness and thus lack durability against side cuts. On the other hand, nylon is considered to be effective for side cutting because of its high toughness. However, when used as a reinforcing cord for carcass ply, the intermediate elongation after heat treatment in the calendar process and vulcanization process is increased, so the rigidity of the carcass ply when it is used as a tire product uses aramid or rayon. It will be inferior to the case. Therefore, run stability may not always be sufficient in handling stability, tire durability, and run flat tires.

  Therefore, an object of the present invention is to have a carcass ply reinforcement cord that can balance side cut resistance and steering stability at a high level and exhibits excellent run flat durability when applied to run flat tires. It is to provide a pneumatic tire.

  As a result of intensive studies to solve the above problems, the present inventor has obtained the following knowledge. That is, in order to improve tire rigidity and steering stability, it is effective to maintain a high elastic modulus after tire manufacture, and to improve side cut resistance, not only the breaking strength. It has been found that it is effective to improve the elongation at break. In particular, it is effective to apply a carcass ply made of a reinforced cord with high toughness in order to improve the side cut resistance when the tire steps on an obstacle on the road and the tire is forcedly deformed in a constant strain. The knowledge that there is. Based on these findings, the present inventor has further intensively studied. As a result, when the intermediate elongation and toughness of the reinforcing cord satisfy the following relationship, the present inventors have found that the above problems can be solved, and the present invention is completed. It came.

That is, the tire of the present invention is a pneumatic tire having a carcass made of at least one carcass ply as a skeleton.
The reinforcing cord of the carcass ply is an organic fiber cord having an intermediate elongation at a load of 1.5 cN / dtex of 4.2% or less and a toughness of 45 cN ·% / dtex or more. Is. Here, the intermediate elongation is in accordance with JIS L 1017. One cord is taken from the reinforced cord after the dip treatment, heated at 145 ° C. for 3 minutes under a tension of 1.5 cN / dtex, 25 after cooling. Elongation (%) when a tensile test is performed under a temperature condition of ± 2 ° C. and a tensile load of 1.5 cN / dtex. The toughness is a tensile test performed on the reinforced cord after the dip treatment under a temperature condition of 25 ± 2 ° C. to obtain a strain-stress curve (SS curve), from the origin until the cord breaks. The area under the SS curve shall be said.

In the tire of the present invention, the reinforcing cord has one bath of an adhesive containing at least one of the group consisting of (A) a thermoplastic polymer, (B) a heat-reactive water-based urethane resin, and (C) an epoxide compound. It is used as a treatment liquid and is treated with an adhesive using a resorcin / formalin / latex adhesive as a two-bath treatment liquid, and
The main chain of the (A) thermoplastic polymer has substantially no addition-reactive carbon-carbon double bond, and the ethylenic addition polymer and urethane polymer weight mainly composed of a linear structure. It is preferable that it is composed of at least one of the union and has at least one functional group having crosslinkability as a pendant group.

  Moreover, in the tire of this invention, it is preferable that the thermal contraction rate after the heat processing of the said reinforcement cord is 0.5 to 3.0%. Furthermore, in the pneumatic tire of the present invention, it is preferable that the intermediate elongation of the reinforcing cord taken out from the tire when loaded with 1.5 cN / dtex is 6.0% or less. Furthermore, in the tire of the present invention, it is preferable that a twist coefficient of the reinforcing cord is 0.30 to 0.50. In the tire of the present invention, the reinforcing cord is preferably made of polyethylene terephthalate. The tire of the present invention can be suitably applied to a run flat tire in which a side reinforcing rubber is disposed on the side portion.

Here, the heat shrinkage rate means that the reinforcing cord after the dip treatment is subjected to a dry heat treatment at 177 ° C. for 2 minutes in an oven with a load of 0.015 g / dtex, and the cord length before and after the heat treatment is determined. Measure, the following formula,
Thermal shrinkage during dry heat treatment (%) = {(Lb−La) / Lb} × 100
Is a value obtained by Here, La is the cord length after heat treatment, and Lb is the cord length before heat treatment.

  According to the present invention, a carcass ply reinforcement cord having excellent run-flat durability when applied to a run-flat tire can be provided with a high level of balance between side-cut resistance and steering stability. can do.

It is sectional drawing of the right half of the suitable example of the pneumatic tire of this invention.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view of the right half of a preferred example of the pneumatic tire of the present invention. The illustrated tire 10 includes a tread portion 1 that forms a ground contact portion, a pair of side portions 2 that extend inward in the tire radial direction continuously to both side portions of the tread portion 1, and an inner peripheral side of each side portion 2. The tread portion 1, the side portion 2, and the bead portion 3 are reinforced by a carcass 4 including a single carcass ply extending from one bead portion 3 to the other bead portion 3 in a toroidal shape. Has been. As shown in the figure, in the tire 10 of the present invention, a belt 5 composed of two belt layers 5a and 5b may be disposed outside the tread portion 1 of the carcass 4 in the tire radial direction. A belt reinforcement layer 6 may be disposed on the radially outer side. Further, as shown in the drawing, a crescent-shaped side reinforcing rubber 7 may be disposed inside the carcass 4 of the side portion 2, but this is not restrictive.

  In the tire 10 of the present invention, the reinforcing cord of the carcass ply is an organic fiber cord having an intermediate elongation of 4.2% or less at a load of 1.5 cN / dtex. By using a reinforcing cord with a small dimensional change as the reinforcing cord of the carcass ply with an intermediate elongation of 4.2% or less, the elongation of the reinforcing cord due to continuous strain during tire running can be suppressed, and the tire durability and Steering stability can be improved. Normally, the reinforced cord is dip treated to improve the adhesion to rubber, but in the case of a reinforced cord with a high intermediate elongation, the adhesive layer on the surface of the reinforced cord cracks due to continuous strain during tire running. It may deteriorate due to or entering. However, in the tire 10 of the present invention, since a reinforcing cord having a low intermediate elongation is used as the reinforcing cord for the carcass ply, it is possible to prevent deterioration of the adhesive layer due to continuous strain during running of the tire. The intermediate elongation of the reinforcing cord of the carcass ply is preferably 4.0% or less, more preferably 3.8% or less. In addition, the reinforcement cord here means the reinforcement cord before tire manufacture.

  Further, the intermediate elongation of the reinforcing cord of the carcass ply taken out from the product tire at the time of 1.5 cN / dtex is preferably 6.0% or less. In particular, by setting the intermediate elongation of the reinforcing cords of the folded portions from the side portion 2 and the bead portion 1 within the above range, both side cut resistance and tire rigidity can be satisfactorily achieved.

  Further, in the tire 10 of the present invention, the toughness of the reinforcing cord of the carcass ply is 45 cN ·% / dtex or more. By making the toughness of the reinforcing cord 45 cN ·% / dtex or more, it is possible to simultaneously improve the steering stability and the cut resistance of the side portion 2. The toughness of the reinforcing cord is more preferably 50 cN ·% / dtex or more, and further preferably 55 cN ·% / dtex or more. The toughness of the reinforcing cord can be adjusted by appropriately setting the type of dip liquid, the dip temperature, and the dip time.

  The reinforcing cord satisfying the toughness is an adhesive containing at least one of the group consisting of (A) a thermoplastic polymer, (B) a heat-reactive aqueous urethane resin, and (C) an epoxide compound, with respect to the organic fiber cord. It is obtained by using the agent as a one-bath treatment liquid and treating the adhesive with a resorcin / formalin / latex adhesive as a two-bath treatment liquid. Here, as the (A) thermoplastic polymer, an ethylenic addition polymer whose main chain does not substantially have an addition-reactive carbon-carbon double bond and mainly has a linear structure, and A urethane polymer composed of at least one and having at least one functional group having crosslinkability as a pendant group is used.

  In particular, by blending (B) and (C), the adhesion between the reinforcing cord and the rubber can be enhanced. As the stiffness increases, the adhesion durability under continuous strain decreases. However, as described above, the tire 10 of the present invention uses a reinforcing cord having a small intermediate elongation as a reinforcing cord for a carcass ply. Therefore, the deformation amount of the entire reinforcing cord is suppressed, the deterioration of the adhesive layer is prevented, and the deterioration of the adhesion durability is prevented. In addition, as an adhesive composition which has said (A)-(C) composition, the adhesive composition proposed by the patent 4928661 can be used.

  The epoxide compound (C) can achieve the object of the present invention as long as it is a compound containing 2 or more, preferably 4 or more epoxy groups in one molecule, preferably, a compound containing an epoxy group, or The reaction product of polyhydric alcohols and epichlorohydrin. Specific examples of the epoxy compound include, for example, diethylene glycol diglycidyl ether, polyethylene diglycidyl ether, polypropylene glycol diglycidyl ether, neopentyl glycol diglycidyl ether, 1,6-hexanediol diglycidyl ether, glycerol Reaction of polychloridyl ether, trimethylolpropane / polyglycidyl ether, polyglycerol / polyglycidyl ether, pentaerythiol / polyglycidyl ether, diglycerol / polyglycidyl ether, sorbitol / polyglycidyl ether, and epichlorohydrin Product: Novolak epoxy resin such as phenol novolac epoxy resin and cresol novolac epoxy resin ; Like bisphenol A type epoxy resin.

The ratio of these components is the dry weight ratio in the adhesive composition, (A) component is 2 to 75%, (B) component is 15 to 87%, and (C) component is 11 to 70%. Is preferred.

  Furthermore, in the tire 10 of the present invention, the heat shrinkage rate of the reinforcing cord after the heat treatment is preferably 0.5 to 3.0%. By setting the heat shrinkage rate of the reinforcing cord of the carcass ply in the above range, it is possible to prevent the position from being disturbed due to the heat shrinking of the reinforcing cord from the time of tire molding to the time of vulcanization. Therefore, it becomes easy to ensure the rigidity of the tire, and as a result, tire durability and steering stability can be stably obtained. Preferably, it is 1.0 to 2.5%.

In the tire 10 of the present invention, the twist coefficient of the carcass ply reinforcement cord is preferably 0.30 to 0.50. By setting the twist coefficient within the above range, the compression input to the reinforcing cord becomes gentle, and the deterioration of the fatigue durability of the carcass ply can be prevented. Further, it is possible to prevent a decrease in the tensile elastic modulus of the reinforcing cord, and to ensure sufficient tire rigidity. Furthermore, when the twisting coefficient of the reinforcing cord is larger than 0.50, the productivity of the cord in the twisting process may be deteriorated, which is not preferable. The twist coefficient T is the following formula:
T = N × √ {(0.125 × D / 2) / ρ} × 10 ⁻³
(However, N is the number of upper twists (times / 10 cm), D is the total display decitex (fineness), and ρ is the specific gravity of the cord material).

  The tire 10 of the present invention can be suitably applied particularly to a run flat tire in which a side reinforcing rubber 7 is disposed on the side portion 2 as shown in the drawing. Under run-flat conditions where the air pressure is zero, the tensile stiffness of the carcass ply reinforcement cord is remarkably the same as the compression stiffness of the side reinforcement rubber 7, so that the intermediate elongation after heat treatment is higher than that of a standard tire that is not a run-flat tire. The effect is demonstrated. Further, in the case of a run flat tire having a crescent-shaped side reinforcing rubber 7, the side portion 2 becomes rigid as compared with the standard tire, so that the toughness of the reinforcing cord of the carcass ply is improved to follow a larger side deformation. As a result, the side cut resistance is remarkably improved.

  The tire 10 of the present invention is an organic fiber cord having an intermediate elongation of not more than 4.2% at a load of 1.5 cN / dtex and a toughness of 45 cN ·% / dtex or more as a reinforcing cord for a carcass ply. Any cord can be used as long as it is present, but cords made of polyester, particularly cords made of inexpensive PET are preferable. Moreover, a known structure can be adopted for the other structure of the tire.

  For example, in the illustrated tire 10 of the present invention, the carcass 4 is composed of one carcass ply, but there may be two or more carcass plies. Further, the reinforcing cords of the carcass ply can be arranged at an angle substantially forming 90 ° with respect to the tire circumferential direction, and the number of reinforcing cords to be driven can be 35 to 65/50 mm. Further, the belt 5 composed of the two first belt layers 5a and the second belt layers 5b is disposed on the outer side in the tire radial direction of the crown region of the carcass 4. However, the number of belt layers is also limited to this. It is not a thing. In addition, the 1st belt layer 5a and the 2nd belt layer 5b can use what a plurality of steel cords arranged in parallel in the tire width direction without being twisted are embedded in rubber, For example, the first belt layer 5a and the second belt layer 5b may be disposed so as to intersect each other between the layers to form a cross belt.

  Further, in the illustrated tire 10, a belt reinforcing layer 6 is disposed on the outer side in the tire radial direction of the belt 5. Since the reinforcement cord of the belt reinforcing layer 6 is intended to ensure tensile rigidity in the tire circumferential direction, it is preferable to use a cord made of highly elastic organic fibers. Organic fiber cords include aromatic polyamide (aramid), polyethylene naphthalate (PEN), polyethylene terephthalate, rayon, Zylon (registered trademark) (polyparaphenylene benzobisoxazole (PBO) fiber), aliphatic polyamide (nylon), etc. Organic fiber cords or the like can be used.

  Furthermore, in the tire of the present invention, although not shown, reinforcing members such as inserts, flippers, and side reinforcing layers may be disposed. Here, the insert is a reinforcing material (not shown) in which a plurality of highly elastic organic fiber cords are arranged in the tire circumferential direction from the bead portion 3 to the side portion 2 and are coated with rubber. The flipper is disposed between a main body portion of the carcass ply that extends between the bead cores 7 and a folded portion that is folded back around the bead cores 7, and the bead cores 7 and the beads disposed on the outer side in the tire radial direction. It is a reinforcing material in which a plurality of highly elastic organic fiber cords are lined up and rubber-coated, including at least a part of the filler. The angle between the insert and the flipper is preferably 30 to 60 ° with respect to the circumferential direction.

  Further, in the illustrated tire, a bead core 8 is embedded in each of the pair of bead portions 3, and the carcass 4 is folded and locked around the bead core 8 from the inside to the outside of the tire. Is not limited to this. For example, among the carcass plies constituting the carcass 4, at least one carcass ply is folded back around the bead core 7 from the inner side to the outer side in the tire width direction, and the folded end is a crown portion of the belt 3 and the carcass 2. It is good also as what is called an envelope structure located between. Furthermore, a tread pattern may be appropriately formed on the surface of the tread portion 1, and an inner liner (not shown) may be formed on the innermost layer. In the tire 10 of the present invention, the gas filled in the tire can be normal or air with a changed oxygen partial pressure, or an inert gas such as nitrogen. The tire of the present invention is suitable for a pneumatic tire for passenger cars.
