Description
- The present technology relates to a method for manufacturing a pneumatic tire to suppress opening failure.
- In a method for manufacturing a tubeless pneumatic tire, an air penetration preventing layer (inner liner) is a one-piece lining on an inner surface of the tire, and a butyl rubber having excellent impermeable properties is used as a material of the inner liner. However, the weight and large specific gravity of butyl rubber is an obstacle to weight reduction of a pneumatic tire. As a countermeasure, Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. H8-258506A proposes use of a thermoplastic resin film as the inner liner, which is thinner than butyl rubber and has higher barrier properties than butyl rubber, to achieve a greater degree of weight reduction in the tire.
- Generally, when manufacturing a pneumatic tire, a sheet member formed in a band shape is wound on a tire molding drum, and a green tire is molded by overlapping and joining the ends of the sheet member. A pneumatic tire obtained by diameter-expanding and vulcanizing the obtained green tire, but diameter-expansion during tire vulcanization or stress at the time of traveling may bring about openings in the above-mentioned joint portion, thereby becoming a cause of tire failure.
- This is particularly problematic when constituting the inner liner with a thermoplastic resin film, because the thermoplastic resin film has a high elastic modulus with a small adhesive force (tack value) compared to a sheet material made of butyl rubber, opening failure occurs easily.
- Therefore, Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. 2009-241855A proposes layering a tie rubber layer on the outer side of the thermoplastic resin film and covering a joint portion with a reinforcing rubber sheet on the inner side of the thermoplastic resin film when overlapping and joining the ends of the laminate body in the tire radial direction. However, further improvements are sought by consumers to enhance tire durability.
- The present technology provides a method for manufacturing a pneumatic tire that suppresses opening failure.
- A method for manufacturing a pneumatic tire of the present technology having a step for winding a sheet member A and a sheet member B onto a molding drum and forming a cylindrical body, includes: combining a sheet member A with a sheet member B so that a tack value of a material a constituting the sheet member A is smaller than a tack value of a material b constituting the sheet member B; winding, on the molding drum, a laminate body obtained by layering in advance the sheet member B on an outer periphery of the sheet member A; configuring a length of the sheet member A so that a starting end of winding of the sheet member A does not overlap with an ending end of winding of the sheet member A on the molding drum; and configuring a length of the sheet member B so that at least an ending end of winding of the sheet member B extends longer in a circumferential direction than the ending end of winding of the sheet member A, wherein the ending end of winding of the sheet member B is overlapped with and joined on an outer diameter side of a starting end of winding of the sheet member B.
- In the method for manufacturing a pneumatic tire of the present technology, when the sheet member A with a small tack value is wound on the molding drum, the sheet member B with a large tack value is layered in advance, and this laminate body is wound on the molding drum in a manner to overlap and join the ends in the circumferential direction of the sheet member B in a radial direction without the end in the circumferential direction of the sheet member A overlapping the sheet member A itself during winding and by extending the ending end of winding of the sheet member B longer in the circumferential direction than the ending end of winding of the sheet member A, achieving favorable formability and enabling opening failure to be significantly suppressed.
- Further, it is preferable that a plurality of the laminate bodies be overlapped and that joint portions of the respective laminate bodies be arranged so as not to overlap in a radial direction; therefore openings can be better suppressed due to that the ends of the respective members are covered by non-distal ends of the layered members having the same rigidity when being deformed due to inner pressure or the like. At this time, it is preferable that the ends of the sheet members A of the respective laminate bodies are arranged so as to be mutually separated by 10% or more of the tire circumferential length to be able to sufficiently suppress openings even when the sheet member A is formed of a material with high rigidity.

- It is preferable that the pneumatic tire be molded so that the end in the circumferential direction thereof inclines at an angle of from 10° and 85° relative to the tire circumferential direction to be able to better suppress openings by reducing stress generated in the joint portion.
- It is preferable that a starting end of winding of the sheet member B be made to extend longer in the circumferential direction than a starting end of winding of the sheet member A to be able to easily wind around the molding drum.
- In the present technology, it is preferable that a band-like member be applied on an outer periphery of the sheet member B so as to cover a joint portion of the starting end of winding and an ending end of winding of the sheet member B, and a tensile stress at the time of 20% elongation at 25° C. of a material c constituting the band-like member is from 1 to 3 times a tensile stress at the time of 20% elongation at 25° C. of the material a to be able better suppress openings.
- It is preferable that the molding drum have a mechanism for adhering the sheet member A to a portion of a drum surface to be able to easily wind around the molding drum even if the starting end of winding of the sheet member B is in the same position as the starting end of winding of the sheet member A.
- It is preferable that the sheet member A be an inner liner to be able to reduce weight of the inner liner and to significantly suppress opening failure.
- It is preferable that the joint portion of the laminate body and a joint portion of a carcass layer overlap in a radial direction when the laminate body is wound on the molding drum and the carcass layer is wound on the outer periphery of the laminate body to be able to better suppress openings due to the rigidity of the carcass layer.
- It is preferable that after the sheet member A undergoes biaxial oriented processing, the sheet member B be layered on the outer periphery of the sheet member A to be able to provide the sheet member A with high barrier, high strength, and uniform physical properties.
- A pneumatic tire obtained according to any of the methods for manufacturing described above can suppress opening failure.

FIG. 1 is a half-cross-sectional view of a tire meridian direction illustrating one example of a pneumatic tire manufactured by the present technology. - In
FIG. 1 , a pneumatic tire has a tread portion 1, aside wall portion 2, and a bead portion 3. A carcass layer 4 is laid across a pair of left and right bead cores 5 buried in the bead portion 3, and each of the both ends of the carcass layer 4 is folded around the bead core 5 from an inner side to an outer side of the tire. In the tread portion 1, a pair of upper and lower belt layers 6 are arranged along an entire periphery of the tire on an outer side of the carcass layer 4, and an inner liner 7 is lined on the inner side of the carcass layer 4. - In the method for manufacturing a pneumatic tire of the present technology, when forming a cylindrical body by winding a sheet member A having a small tack value and a sheet member B having a large tack value on a molding drum, a laminate body is formed by layering the sheet member A and the sheet member B in advance, and this laminate body is wound on the molding drum. At this time, mutual ends in the circumferential direction of the sheet member B are overlapped and joined in a radial direction without the ends in the circumferential direction of the sheet member A overlapping the sheet member A itself and by configuring the length of the sheet member B so that at least ending end of winding extends longer in the circumferential direction than the ending end of winding of the sheet member A. In the following description, an inner liner will be used as an example of the sheet member A and a tie rubber layer (not illustrated) will be used as an example of the sheet member B. Note that the sheet member A is not limited to an inner liner and that another sheet member having a low tack value may be applied.
- In the present technology, the sheet member A is formed of the material a and the sheet member B is formed of the material b. Further, a tack value of the material a is smaller than a tack value of the material b. Here, the tack value of the material a and the tack value of the material b are self-adhesive tack values, and these self-adhesive tack values are measured using a pickup type tack tester under the conditions of a test temperature of 25° C., compression bonding load of 100 g, compression bonding time of 10 seconds, compression bonding rate of 50 cm/min, and a peeling rate of 125 cm/min. A test piece is formed by one of these materials having a width between 10 mm and 12 mm being wound to a jig on the tester while the other is made into a band-like shape and used as a backing. The tester jig having the test piece wound thereon is secured to a platform and drop, compression, and lift were conducted based on the above conditions. A tack value between the material a and the material b is described below.
-
FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view schematically illustrating one example of an embodiment of a laminate body used in the present technology. - As illustrated in
FIG. 2 , a laminate body M is made by layering and bonding in advance the sheet member B having a large tack value on the outer peripheral side of the sheet member A having a small tack value. The entire lengths, as illustrated inFIG. 2 , are different between the sheet member A and the sheet member B with the entire length of the sheet member B being longer. The entire length of the sheet member A when wound onto the molding drum is determined so that both ends As and Ae do not overlap. - The laminate body M illustrated in
FIG. 2 has the starting end As of winding of the sheet member A and the starting end Bs of winding of the sheet member B aligned substantially flush with each other. Meanwhile, the ending end Be of winding of the sheet member B extends longer to the outer side than the ending end Ae of winding of the sheet member A. -
FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view schematically illustrating an embodiment of a joint portion when the laminate body M is wound onto the molding drum. - In
FIG. 3 , the laminate body M constituted by the sheet member A and the sheet member B on the outer periphery of themolding drum 10 is wound so that the sheet member A is in contact with the surface of themolding drum 10. The sheet member A is wound one time around themolding drum 10, and the ending end Ae of winding thereof is butted against the starting end As of winding. Meanwhile, the sheet member B is wound one time around themolding drum 10 on the outer peripheral side of the sheet member A, and the ending end Be of winding thereof is overlapped with and joined on the outer side of the starting end Bs of winding. In the present technology, a region where the starting end Bs of winding and the ending end Be of winding of the sheet member B radially overlap makes ajoint portion 11. - As described above, with the method for manufacturing of the present technology, the ending end Ae of winding of the sheet member A does not overlap with either the starting end As of winding of the sheet member A or the starting end Bs of winding of the sheet member B. This way, both ends As and Ae of the sheet member A are not involved in the joint of the laminate body M, and only both ends Bs and Be of the sheet member B are overlapped and joined in a radial direction to thereby enable opening failure to be significantly suppressed.
- For the laminate body used in the present technology as illustrated in
FIG. 4 , a plurality of the laminate bodies may be overlapped with each other.FIG. 4 is an example of layering and bonding in advance another laminate body M2 on the outer side of one laminate body M1. The example inFIG. 4 illustrates two layers constituted by the laminate bodies M1, M2, but the number of laminate bodies may be three or four as long as the number is plural. - In
FIG. 4 , the laminate body M1 and the laminate body M2 are each identical to the laminate body M illustrated inFIG. 2 and are differentiated by thereference numerals 1 and 2. The laminate body M1 and the laminate body M2 that have been shifted from each other in the length direction (circumferential direction of the molding drum) are layered and bonded, and when wound onto the molding drum, the joint portion (region where the starting end B1 s of winding and the ending end B1 e of winding of the sheet member B1 overlap in a radial direction) of the laminate body M1 and the joint portion (region where the starting end B2 s of winding and the ending end B2 e of winding of the sheet member B2 overlap in a radial direction) of the laminate body M2 are arranged so as not to overlap in a radial direction. By preventing the joint portions of the laminate bodies M1 and M2 from overlapping with each other on the inner and outer sides in the radial direction, when the joint portions deform due to inner-pressure and the like, openings can be greatly suppressed due to that the joint portions are covered by the respective non-distal ends of M1 and M2 having the same rigidity. - Further, with each of the laminate bodies M1 and M2, the distance between the ends A1 s and A2 s of the respective sheet members A is preferably 10% or more of the tire circumference length. For example, a distance between the ends A1 s and A2 s of the sheet members A may be 50% of the tire circumferential length. Making the distance between the ends of the sheet members A to be 10% or more of the tire circumferential length allows stress in the joint portion to be better dispersed, thereby suppressing openings. Further, when layering three laminate bodies M in advance, a distance between the ends of the sheet members A is preferably 10% or more of the tire circumferential length between adjacent laminate bodies. More specifically, the starting end of winding of the sheet member A may be arranged uniformly (coordination angle from the tire center is approximately 120°) on the periphery. In order to make an arrangement so that a distance d is 10% or more of the tire circumferential length in this manner, the distance d between the starting ends of winding of the sheet members A may be made to be 10% or more of one circumferential length of the molding drum during green molding of the tire.
- The laminate body M used in the present technology, as illustrated in
FIG. 5 , preferably has the end in the circumferential direction thereof extending inclined in the tire width direction (axial direction of the molding drum), and in addition, an angle θ formed by the extending direction of the end in the circumferential direction and the tire circumferential direction is preferably from 10° to 85°. When the angle θ is within the range of 10° to 85°, the stress in the joint portion of the laminate body M is relaxed allowing opening failure to be further reduced. - Moreover, the laminate body M, as illustrated in
FIG. 6 , is allowed to have the starting end Bs of winding of the sheet member B extending longer in the circumferential direction than the starting end As of winding of the sheet member A, i.e., the starting end Bs of winding of the sheet member B is allowed to project outside in the circumferential direction from the starting end As of winding of the sheet member A. In this manner, extending the starting end Bs of winding of the sheet member B longer in the circumferential direction than the starting end As of winding of the sheet member A can achieve an effect of easier winding on the molding drum. - In the present technology, it is preferable that the material a that constitutes the sheet member A be a thermoplastic resin composition. Furthermore, it is preferable that the material b that constitutes the sheet member B be a rubber composition.
- The material a made up of the thermoplastic resin composition has a small tack value, and the material b made up of the rubber composition has a large tack value. The tack value of the material a used in the present technology is smaller than the tack value of the material b.
- The tack value of the material a is not particularly limited as long as the tack value is smaller than the tack value of the material b, but the self-adhesive tack value at 25° C. for 10 seconds is preferably 100 g or less. Further, for the tack value of the material b, the self-adhesive tack value at 25° C. for 10 seconds is preferably from 200 g to 3000 g. Furthermore, the tack value of the material a relative to the material b is preferably from 500 g to 2000 g. Here, the tack value of the material a to the material b measured using a pickup type tack tester under the conditions of a test temperature of 25° C., compression bonding load of 100 g, compression bonding time of 10 seconds, compression bonding rate of 50 cm/min, and a peel rate of 125 cm/min. A test piece composed of material b having a width between 10 mm and 12 mm is wound to a jig on the tester while a test piece composed of material a is made into a band-like shape and used as a backing. The tester jig having the test piece wound thereon is secured to a platform and drop, compression, and lift were conducted based on the above conditions.
- Further, the tensile stresses at the time of 20% elongation at 25° C. of material a and material b are preferred when the tensile stress at the time of 20% elongation of the material a is greater than the tensile stress at the time of 20% elongation of the material b. Particularly, the tensile stress at the time of 20% elongation of the material a is preferably from 3 to 100 times the tensile stress at the time of 20% elongation of the material b. When the tensile stress at the time of 20% elongation of the material a is from 3 to 100 times that of the material b, the material a can be made to have excellent barrier properties and heat resistance. The tensile stress at the time of 20% elongation at 25° C. of the material a and the material b are measured in accordance with JIS K-6251.
- In the present technology, it is preferable that the thermoplastic resin composition constituting the sheet member A be a composition that includes a thermoplastic resin and/or an elastomer, and it is more preferable that the composition includes a thermoplastic resin and an elastomer.

- A pneumatic tire manufactured according to the manufacturing method of the present technology can suppress openings during travel and improve durability.
