Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent the spread of a fire on tyres by forming a flame resisting rubber layer of a specified thickness on the bare rubber surface of the side wall portion of the tyre. CONSTITUTION:The flame resisting rubber layer 4, for instance fluorine rubber, halide butyl rubber, of which thickness is 0.3-3.0mm is formed on the surface of the side wall portion 3 of the tyre. By this constitution, flame resistance and fire-preventing function can be given without harming performance of the tyre in substance.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Application of the Invention] The present invention relates to a flame-retardant tire that can prevent vehicle fires and the like.

Conventionally, the rubber constituting pneumatic tires is flammable and is said to be easily ignited by electrical sparks, fire, etc., causing a vehicle fire. In particular, tires used in new transportation systems such as mole rail are always exposed to the risk of fire, as the mounting point of the tire is located near the current collector of the electric motor that generates electrical sparks. There is a strong demand for the provision of tires that do not cause fire.

In order to make a tire flame retardant, it is conceivable to form the tire using a flame retardant rubber or a flame retardant rubber composition (hereinafter referred to as flame retardant rubber) as the rubber forming the tire. However, this flame-retardant rubber is generally very expensive, has poor flexibility characteristics, and generates heat easily, making it unsatisfactory for the practical performance of tires, so it cannot be used as a tire constituent material. could not. Therefore, in the past, rubber has been selected and used with only tire performance in mind, without considering (ignoring) its flammability.

The present invention is characterized in that a 11 flammable rubber layer with a thickness of 0.3 to 3.0 mm is formed on the exposed rubber surface of at least one sidewall portion of the tire.The special feature is an example of the tire of the present invention. FIG. As shown in the figure, the present invention does not make all of the rubber constituting the tread 1, carcass layer 2, etc. of the tire flame retardant, or coat the entire tire with flame retardant rubber. The outer surface is made of flame retardant rubber and has a thickness of 0.3 to 3.0 mm.
By forming the layer 4, flame retardancy is imparted to the tire.

なお、5はベルト層、6はビードワイヤである。Note that 5 is a belt layer and 6 is a bead wire.

Here, the flame-retardant rubber may be disposed only on at least one sidewall portion, for example, the sidewall that is most likely to cause ignition due to a fire, that is, the side that is located on the outside of the vehicle when mounted on the vehicle.

However, the thickness of the flame-retardant rubber layer covering this sidewall part needs to be in the range of 0.3 to 3.0 mm, and if this thickness becomes thinner than 0.3 mm, it will be damaged by flames. It will not be possible to prevent the internal flammable sidewall rubber from catching fire, making it impossible to ensure the flame retardancy of the tire itself, and even if it is thicker than 3.0 mm, it will have no effect on the flame retardance of the tire. Not only does this not change, but the bending resistance of this flame-retardant rubber layer decreases, and deformation causes heat generation and fatigue, resulting in the occurrence of cranks that cause the fire-preventing effect of this flame-retardant rubber layer to be lost. Also, since flame-retardant rubber is expensive, it is not preferable because it increases the cost of the tire.

Examples of the flame-retardant rubber forming this flame-retardant rubber layer include fluororubber, halogenated butyl rubber, hydrin rubber, chloroprene rubber, chlorosulfonated polyethylene,
Examples include nitrile rubber, but preferably S, which has excellent physical properties as a tire sidewall.
Integrity (bondability) to BR, BR or NR rubber
Considering the above, it is preferable to use chloroprene rubber, halogenated butyl rubber alone or blended with diene rubber. More preferably, the above raw material rubber 100! It is preferable to use and blend together 60 parts by weight or less of chlorinated paraffin and 30 parts by weight or less of antimony trioxide based on part iit.

If the amount of chlorinated paraffin added exceeds 60 parts by weight, the crack resistance will be poor, and if the amount of antimony trioxide added exceeds 30 parts by weight, the crack resistance will decrease, which is not preferable.

Further, the means for forming the flame-retardant rubber layer on the tire sidewall portion is not particularly limited, but for example, during tire molding, an unvulcanized rubber sheet made of the flame-retardant rubber is applied to the corresponding sidewall portion. There is a method in which the flame-retardant rubber layer is formed simultaneously with the tire molding and vulcanization by laminating them together, or a method in which the flame-retardant rubber is applied to the corresponding sidewall portion and cured after the tire is molded.
