Abstract
Description
BACKGROUND OF THE
Generally, pneumatic tires are manufactured by mixing semi-finished products such as a cacass, a tread, a belt layer, an inner liner, etc. by mixing the rubber, A green case is made, the green case is put into a mold, and a certain temperature and pressure are applied to produce a finished tire.
Such pneumatic tires include an inner liner made of special rubber, a back-up liner supporting the inner liner to enhance the permeability of the air filled in the tire, In order to enhance the fatigue resistance against the repeated bending and stretching load, the movement of the carcass ply formed by the steel cord and the tread rubber forming the ground surface of the tire are minimized to improve the wear resistance, A side wall that protects the carcass ply, a belt that covers the cord end of the carcass ply and mounts the tire on the rim to prevent sudden deformation of the carcass ply A Bead Portion, a Chafer for reinforcing the bead portion, and an Apex positioned above the bead portion.
Here, the Apex minimizes the scattering of the beads constituting the bead, and alleviates the impact of the bead. As shown in FIG. 1, a carcass ply Is provided on the inner side of the bead portion (1) and above the bead portion (2).
On the other hand, when the vehicle is running, the tire is subjected to a repeated load action, so that the side portion of the tire constantly exhibits a bending action. As a result, permanent external force is applied to the bead portion for fixing the tire and the wheel.
Conventionally, the bead portion of the pneumatic tire is composed of a structure in which a bead made of a plurality of bead wires is covered with a rubber material having a very different elongation and strength, and is weak to a constant external force because of low binding force between the two materials. To compensate for this, the bead is reinforced with a reinforcing material having a bead reinforcing function such as apex, steel chafer, and rim flange to constitute the bead portion.
However, among the above-mentioned reinforcing materials, when the apex which directly contacts the bead does not play a role of minimizing the bead protection and the concentration of the end stress of the carcass ply, fatigue breakage due to tire rim desorption or end stress concentration occurs, It becomes impossible.
As a result, a dual apex has been developed in which the apex is divided into two portions, the lower portion is arranged with hard apex, and the upper portion is arranged with soft apex.
However, in the conventional dual apex, since the hard apex and the soft apex of the dual apex have different hardness and elongation, the binding force of the material at the interface between the two is weak and therefore the structure is weaker than the single structure apex, .
Meanwhile, as a result of investigation of the prior art related to the present invention, a large number of patent documents have been searched and some of them will be described as follows.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been conceived to solve the problems of the prior art described above, and it is an object of the present invention to increase the contact area between a hard apex and a soft apex to improve the binding force therebetween, So that the durability of the tire can be improved.
In order to accomplish the above object, the present invention provides an airbag apparatus comprising: a hard apex formed of a rubber having a relatively high hardness and disposed on an upper side of a bead; and a soft apex formed of a rubber having a relatively low hardness and disposed above the hard apex In the dual-apex of the mouth tire, the interface between the hard apex and the soft apex has an alphabet Z shape through two inflections.
According to the dual-apex of the pneumatic tire of the present invention, the interface has a first portion formed at an angle of 45 degrees with respect to the width direction, and a second portion formed at a direction perpendicular to the width direction, And a third portion formed at an angle of 45 degrees with respect to the width direction and connected to an upper end of the second portion.
According to the dual-apex of the pneumatic tire of the present invention, when the width of the interface starting point is L, the width W of the first portion is L / 2 and the length L2 of the second portion is W / 2 .
In the dual-apex of the pneumatic tire of the present invention, since the interface between the hard apex and the soft apex is formed in the alphabet Z shape, the contact area between the hard apex and the soft apex is increased so that the bonding force between the hard apex and the soft apex is structurally stabilized, Thereby enhancing the durability of the tire by reinforcing the function inherent to Apex, which provides a bearing force to the bead portion and prevents stress from concentrating on the end of the carcass ply.
According to the dual-apex of the pneumatic tire of the present invention, since the first portion and the third portion of the interface between the hard apex and the soft apex are formed to be inclined at an angle of 45 degrees with respect to the width direction, the contact area between the hard apex and the soft apex Is further increased.
