ライフを得ることはできなかった。2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, this type of heavy duty pneumatic tire employs a so-called single crown system in which the outer shape of the tread portion 31 is formed by one arc portion R 1 as shown in FIG. However, in a tire in which a mold is formed and vulcanization molded by this method, in the so-called growing tire that is accompanied by filling of internal pressure, the outer shape growth of the tire center axis CL and the shoulder end portion 3 of the tread portion 31 are performed.
Due to the tension of the internal pressure generated by the cord ply No. 2, the shoulder rib 34 falls from the main groove 33 closest to the tread shoulder end 32 as a starting point. That is, in FIG. 2 (b), the tires internal pressure, the tire outside diameter B 1 of the tire outer diameter A 1 and the shoulder end 32 portion of the tire center axis CL portion, becomes A 1> B 1 step Quantity h
Only the minutes will fall. However, traveling / transmission /
In urban driving where you frequently stop or operate the steering wheel,
Even in the tire with the shoulder ribs 34 falling off, the forced wear of the tread surface (road surface portion) is promoted, so that uneven wear occurs relatively little. However, on the other hand, in the market mainly for so-called steady running, which is seen in long-distance high-speed running due to recent transportation circumstances, forced wear on the outer surface of the tread does not work like in the above-mentioned urban area, and it is based on deformation under load. It becomes more susceptible to the longitudinal pressure and lateral force in the tread portion.
For example, in the cross section of the tire mold as shown in FIG. 2A, the tire center, that is, the tread center axis C
At the tire outer diameters of L and the shoulder end portion 32, the mold has A 1 > B 1 because it has the arc portion R 1 of the tread crown. According to this relationship, the tread center axis CL of the ground contact shape and the shoulder The ground length of the end 32 is also shown in FIG.
As shown in (a) and (b), the contact shape before growth (ii) is deformed after growth (ii) and the contact length A 2 and B 2 before growth is A 2 > B 2 . What was
A conspicuous particularly difference B 2 and B '2 but become the' 2> B '2. That is, the outer diameter growth difference S is enlarged according to the tread cross sections (C and D). However, in the rolling tire, the tread center axis CL and the shoulder end are also forced to move at the same speed, so that the tread center is reduced at the shoulder end of the tread having a small tire contact length (outer circumference length). In order to keep the movement at the same speed as the part, it is necessary to generate a great slip, and originally,
At the place where slip occurs, sufficient ground contact is not obtained between the road surface and the tires, so wear that the road surface part is scraped off to the road surface may occur, which may cause local uneven wear and In slow steady high speed running, such localized uneven wear causes vibration problems and the like,
As a result, the tires were removed early, and it was not possible to obtain a sufficient tire life.

A so-called double crown method, which is constituted by the arcuate portion R 2 , has been tried. However, the shoulder drop phenomenon in both cases is shown in Fig. 4 (a) and (b).
As shown in the tread cross-section and the ground contact shape of Fig. 2, when comparing the double crown method (solid line) and the single crown method (dotted line) after the internal pressure filling, the outer diameter growth in the tread center part due to the internal pressure filling and the double-sided area Due to the tension of the internal pressure generated in the belt layer end region, the shoulder drop phenomenon of the shoulder rib occurs starting from the groove 33 closest to the tread end.

ブの幅方向に進みこれがリバーウエアの原因となる。By the way, by the shoulder-raising by the double crown system, the tire can correct the deformation of the tread outer shape or the ground contact shape due to the internal pressure filling, but when it is used in the market, the outer diameter growth is caused by being exposed to rolling and load. . For example, as shown in the graph of FIG. 5, the dimensional change accompanying the growth of tires seen in the market is saturated at some point. That is, tire size 11 R 24.5 14P
According to the measurement results of the dimensional changes of the outer diameter and the tread width of the R (rim size 8.25 × 24.5), the tire having an outer diameter of 1103 mm and the total tire width of 280 mm before traveling (NEW) has a tire after traveling (S.G. ), The outer diameter is 1107 mm and the tire has a total width of 278 mm. However, as shown in FIGS. 3 (a) to 3 (d), as the tire dimensions change, the tread outer shape, or even the ground contact shape, is deformed, and under the urban driving conditions in which the tread portion is eroded by the forced wear, the growth occurs. The influence of the subsequent contact shape change on the form of wear is not so great. On the other hand, in the high-speed market, which mainly involves steady running with a slow wear rate, changes in the tread outer shape and the ground contact shape have a great influence. here,
Comparing the ground contact lengths A 2 and B 2 of the tread center axis CL, the tendency of A 2 > B 2 becomes more remarkable after the growth than before the growth, and the shoulder end portion 32 of the tread portion due to the tire slip is locally localized. While uneven wear is a concern, bending occurs from the outermost end main groove 33 close to the tread shoulder end, and the tire groove axially outer ends 33A and 33B of the main groove 33 have a protruding shape. . This portion is a so-called 1/4 TW point, which corresponds to a position 1/4 of the tread width (TW). In high-speed markets where the wear speed is extremely slow, unlike radial forced wear in urban areas, the radial lateral force (side wars) acting on the tread and the tire circumferential forward / backward force (forward force) Drive force,
The force in the reverse direction is called the braking force. ), The bending point E, that is, the inner and outer end portions 33A of the outermost main groove 33 in the tire axial direction in FIG.
The stress concentrates on 33B and receives this force.
When the corners of 3B become worn, the erosion of the tread surface advances in the width direction of each rib, which causes river wear.

るのが一般的である。One of the causes of the occurrence of such river wear is that, as shown in FIGS. 6 (a) and 6 (b), the load deformation of the ground contact portion caused by rolling of the tire causes the shoulder portion to contact the ground contact surface. The center of the tire is depressed due to the ground contact, and the belt layer 3
The sample No. 5 contracts toward the center of the tire while undergoing reverse warp deformation. Then, in response to the contraction in the belt radial direction, the tread rubber outside the belt layer 35 is wound around the contact surface center and a lateral force (F) in the radial direction is generated. Therefore,
When considering load deformation due to rolling, the main groove 33 and its axially outer end portion 33A and inner end portion 33B are projected with respect to the so-called 1/4 TW point which is projected in the tread shape after the growth of the tire. There is no choice but to concentrate stress on. On the other hand, as shown in the uneven wear growth process in FIGS. 7A and 7B, in the tread portion and the ground contact shape changed after the tire before the internal pressure filling was filled with the internal pressure to grow,
As shown in (b) and (c) of the figure, the tire axially outer end portion 33A of the shoulder rib 34 is gradually eroded by the side force and the driving / braking force acting on the shoulder region of the tread portion, Eventually, uneven wear will result in uneven wear of the entire shoulder ribs as shown in FIG. That is, once the outer end portion 33A of the outermost main groove 33 in the axial direction of the tire is rounded, the forward and backward forces act in the tire tread portion at the time of contact with the shoulder rib 34 due to the step wear in the radial direction. Then, as shown in (d) of the same figure, the entire surface of the shoulder is eroded and grows into full-shoulder wear. Now, as shown in FIG. 8, an example of measurement of the forward / reverse force is
In the pre-growth state, the ground contact property is improved toward the tread center axis CL, and the reverse force (braking force)
It can be seen that the ratio of (shaded area) is decreasing. However, in the tire after growth, the protrusion at the 1/4 TW point locally improves the ground contact property of the outermost main groove 33, and as a result, the inner and outer end portions of the main groove 33 in the tread rubber are continued during the ground contact. Only the forward force (drive force) acting on 33B and 33A is increased. For this reason, the dislocation point at which the forward force is displaced to the backward force is displaced from the tread surface in the near area, and the movement in the opposite direction is forced, and the shear force is generated in the area near the 33A on the tread road surface portion. To do. Therefore, when the portion 33A is worn and becomes round, the step wear is generally grown in the radial direction due to the shearing force.

った。Therefore, based on the above-mentioned findings, the present inventor has found that, in comparison with a conventional tire having a double-crown structure, a mechanism causing further uneven wear in comparison with a tire having a single-crown structure. To clarify
Paying attention to the 1/4 TW point of the tread part, especially the correlation between the shoulder drop phenomenon at the end of the shoulder part and the outer shape of the shoulder rib, and the shoulder drop step amount at the shoulder end and the outer surface shape of the tire with a double crown structure As a result of studying the relevance and the like, considering not only the conventional single-crown configuration tire but also the modified ground contact shape and tread outer shape after growth in the tire having the double-crown configuration, as shown in FIG. , Or the second arc portion 37B due to the radius of curvature R 2 at the shoulder end becomes excessively large, and the first arc due to the radius of curvature R 1 at the outer contact Q on the inner side in the tire axial direction from the 1/4 TW point of the tire mold tread width TW. The portion 37A comes into contact with the portion. As a result, in the footprint shape of the tire after growth, in order to correct the shoulder drop step height h at the shoulder end of the tread portion, even if the contact length of the shoulder portion is increased, the contact point Q of the shoulder raising 37B is 1 / Since it is located inside the 4 TW point, the contact length at the 1/4 TW point will also increase relatively, and even if the protrusion of the 1/4 TW point on the tread portion is corrected, there is a limit. I came to know the facts.

It is necessary to improve the deformation of the tread outer shape or the ground contact shape while keeping it at the same time, and in order to do so, the conventional double crown structure is further developed to raise the shoulder by R 2 to the shoulder rib, or this to the range of 1/4 TW point. In addition to the above, while correcting the shoulder drop of the ground contact shape, the protrusion of the 1/4 TW point seen in the tread outer shape after tire growth is suppressed to prevent uneven wear and improve tire durability. Its purpose is to measure.

とタイヤの耐久性の向上がはかられることとなる。In the heavy duty pneumatic tire according to the present invention,
In order to prevent reverse warp deformation of the belt layer that accompanies the growth caused by filling the tire with internal pressure, the shoulder ribs are limited to the shoulder ribs so that the thickness of the tread on the belt at the shoulder end is equal to or greater than this. Therefore, the protrusion of this part, which extends to the 1/4 TW point due to the growth observed in the conventional tire, is corrected. That is, FIG.
As shown in (b), in the conventional double-crown method, the outer contacts Q of the two arc portions were located inside the 1/4 TW point, so the shoulder-raising effect at the shoulder end did not function sufficiently. In the present invention, since the inner shoulder portion of the shoulder rib, that is, the outer end portion of the outermost main groove in the tire axial direction serves as the starting point for raising the shoulder rib shoulder, uniform growth is possible, which causes uneven wear of the outer surface of the tread. The prevention and improvement of tire durability will be achieved.

生が助長される。FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view of essential parts showing the configuration of the outer shape of the tread of the right half of the tire according to the present invention before being filled with internal pressure. In the figure, 1 is a heavy-duty pneumatic radial tire, 2 is a tread portion, and 3 is an outermost main groove that is arranged in the tire circumferential direction on the outer surface of the tread portion and extends in the circumferential direction. Further, 4 is the outermost main groove 3 of the shoulder end portion P 2 at both ends of the tread portion 2.
It is a shoulder rib which is a land part divided by. The tread portion 2 has a tread center axis CL.
The outer tread surface of the tread central region 5 extending from the shoulder rib 4 to the tire axially outer end P 1 near the tread center axis is formed by the first arc portion 6A. (The point P 1 corresponds to the intersection of the first arc portion 6A and the second arc portion 6B.) The first arc portion 6A has its center of curvature on the tread center axis CL on the tire center side, The radius of curvature R 1 is set to 300 to 3000 mm before the internal pressure filling. On the other hand, the tread outer surface of the tread portion 2 from the above P 1 to the shoulder end portion P 2 , that is, the outer surface of the shoulder rib 4 is formed by the second arc portion 6B,
The second arc portion 6B does not always have its center of curvature on the tire rotation axis side, and may be located outside the axis. That is, the outer shape in this case is slightly concave. The radius of curvature R 2 is equal to R 1 or less than 4000 mm before the internal pressure filling. The intersection of the two arcuate portions R 1 and R 2 corresponds to the inner shoulder end of the shoulder rib 4 in the tire axial direction, and the intersection P 1 is important in the present invention. This is the starting point for raising your shoulders. Next, the total developed width TW of the tread portion 2 and the tread width TW1 on the outer surface of the tread portion 2 from the tread center axis CL to the point P 1 and further the first arc portion 6
The length from A of the tread center axis to the inner end of the outermost main groove 3 in the tire axial direction, that is, the shoulder end P 3 of the rib 7 adjacent to the shoulder rib 4 in the axial direction of the tire. 1/4 of the total tread width
The relationship with TW is 1/4 TW <TW1 <TW. Furthermore, the second arc portion 6B in the shoulder end portion P 2
And a step amount h 1 (hatched portion) in the tire radial direction between the extension line of the first arc portion 6A and the extension line of the first arc portion 6A is set in a range of 0 to 10 mm, and preferably 5 mm or less. If it exceeds 10 mm, the ground contact length of the shoulder end P 2 exceeds the ground contact length of the 1/4 TW point of the main groove 3, causing uneven wear such as rib punch. Also, P 1 and 1/4 step amount in the tire radial direction in the P 3 point TW h 2 as the starting point of Kataage of the shoulder rib 4 (hatched portion)
Is set in the range of 0 to 3 mm. In this case, 0 mm
If it is less than P, the so-called rib punch becomes a problem due to the depression of the rib shoulder at P 3 (1/4 TW point).
If it exceeds, the difference in radius of curvature between the arcuate portions 6A and 6B becomes too large, which promotes the occurrence of uneven wear at the shoulder portion of the shoulder rib 4.
