Abstract
Description
The present invention relates to a winter tire and a sip blade for manufacturing winter tires, and more particularly to a winter tire for improving durability, braking force and steering performance by improving the shape of a sipe formed on a tire shoulder, Sieve blade.
In general, a block pattern is employed for a tread pattern of a winter tire.
The block pattern is formed so as to improve snow performance by making it easy to engage snow between adjacent blocks in the tire circumferential direction. Further, by forming the sipes in the tire width direction in this block, the driving performance (ice sheet performance) on the ice surface road surface due to the water film removing effect and the edge effect is improved.
Of these, in order to further improve ice sheet performance, it is possible to consider simply increasing the number of caves in the circumferential direction. However, when the number of siphons is increased, the sip interval is narrowed, so that the block stiffness is lowered and the deformation amount of the block is increased. As a result, the stress concentrated on the bottom of the sieve becomes excessive, and cracks easily occur in the bottom of the sieve. That is, if the sipe interval is narrowed by simply increasing the number of sipes to improve the ice sheet performance, the durability of the tire is lowered.
It is preferable not to narrow the sipe interval in the method of improving the ice sheet performance without hindering the durability of the tire. For example, Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. 2001-39126 discloses a technique of forming a sipe having a shallow depth so as to cross a sipe in the tire width direction apart from the sipe in the tire width direction. Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication (Kokai) No. 2003-237320 discloses a small block divided by open sieves formed so as to be opened with respect to a main groove, the height of the small blocks being different between adjacent small blocks , And a technique of suppressing deformation of a small block by alternately offsetting the depth of the sip is disclosed.
However, since electrons form small cross-sectional sipes, the effect of improving the durability is not necessarily large. In addition, although the latter measures measures against durability, there is a problem that since the blocks having different heights are formed, the grounding pressure of the higher block is increased and is liable to be worn.
An object of the present invention is to provide a winter tire for improving braking force and steering performance while maintaining durability, and a sip blade for manufacturing winter tires.
The tread portion includes a plurality of longitudinal grooves formed on a surface thereof and a plurality of lateral grooves formed on the surface of the tread portion, And is divided into a plurality of blocks,
The block provided on the shoulder portion is divided into a plurality of semi-blocks by a sipe arranged in the width direction, and one side wall of two side walls of the two semi- The first protruding portion and the first protruding portion are alternately formed on the other side wall and the second protruding portion inserted into the first inserting and recessing portion is formed alternately in the other side wall, A third projection portion is formed in the insertion groove portion, a fourth projection portion is formed in the second insertion groove portion, a third insertion groove portion into which the third projection portion is inserted is formed in the second projection portion, And a fourth insertion groove portion into which the four projections are inserted.
The third protrusion is formed at a central portion of the first insertion groove and the fourth protrusion is formed at a central portion of the second insertion groove respectively in the depth direction of the sipe, And the fourth insertion groove is formed at a central portion of the second protrusion, respectively.
In the present invention, one of the third protrusion and the fourth protrusion is formed so as to face the open inlet side of the sipe, the other side is formed to face the opposite side, and the third protrusion and the fourth protrusion One of the third insertion slot and the fourth insertion slot is formed so as to face the opening side of the siphon corresponding to the shape of the protrusion and the other is formed so as to face the opposite side of the opening of the siphon .
In the present invention, the width of the sipes is in the range of 0.1 to 2 mm and the length is in the range of 5 to 60 mm.
In the present invention, the sipes are spaced apart from each other along the extending direction of the longitudinal grooves, and the lengths of the sipes are formed differently from each other.
The present invention also provides a method of manufacturing a tire, comprising the steps of: forming a plurality of longitudinal grooves formed on a tread portion surface of a tire and a plurality of lateral grooves to form sipes in a block provided in a shoulder portion of the tire, For example,
The concavo-convex forming portion bent in a zigzag form in the longitudinal direction at the end side is formed in a row along the longitudinal direction so that the concave portion and the convex portion are repeated on one surface and the convex portion and the concave portion are repeated on the other surface, And a second projection part protruding from the concave-convex forming part and projecting from the other concave part of the concave-convex forming part to form the second insertion part on one of the surfaces The present invention provides a sip blade for winter tire production.
In the present invention, both ends of the concave-convex forming portion are provided with a first rectilinear forming portion and a second rectilinear forming portion, and the concave-convex forming portion has a shape in which concave portions and convex portions are repeated on both sides with reference to the first rectilinear forming portion.
In the present invention, either one of the first projecting portion and the second projecting portion is formed to face the upper side, and the other side is formed to face the lower side.
The winter tires according to the present invention can obtain sufficient block rigidity by minimizing the deformation between the blocks even when the number of sifts is increased by the unique shape of the sip so that the durability of the tire can be prevented from deteriorating, The braking performance and the steering performance are improved.
