Definitions
- Non-slip material with improved grip, pneumatic and shoe sole incorporating such a material is provided.
- the invention relates to the field of non-slip materials. More specifically, the invention relates to the structure of a non-slip material making it possible to increase the adhesion coefficient, the material obtained being intended for use in applications such as in particular tires, shoe soles, non-slip mats , transmission belts, rollers or drive rollers, handling gloves, brake pads, etc. In this area, several qualities and / or functions must be fulfilled by non-slip materials, and in particular:
- the elastomers offer a high coefficient of friction combined with hyperelasticity, the use of a single elastomer does not make it possible to meet all of the qualities and / or functions listed above.
- Soft erasers for example, offer better adhesion but wear out quickly, unlike hard erasers.
- a given elastomer is in particular characterized by its viscoelastic properties, the friction of the elastomers being governed inter alia by molecular adhesion and the viscoelastic losses of the material. However, the higher the viscoelastic losses, the greater the energy capable of being dissipated by the material.
- non-slip materials conventionally incorporate treads or crampons.
- the tire coating is most often striated to increase the contact pressure on wet ground.
- streaks decrease the grip of the tire on a dry surface.
- Tires with a tread reinforced with short fibers are also known. These tend to follow the profile of the sculpture during molding. They are therefore mainly in a situation substantially parallel with respect to the contact surface and are easily removed. Reinforced tire pads are also known on the leading and trailing edges. These fibers or reinforcements are integrated into the tire in such a way that they cannot oppose strong constraints, just like the treads comprising rigid particles arranged randomly. There are also known pads comprising fibers arranged substantially perpendicularly to the contact surface. These fibers flex when they are stressed without tending to become embedded in the relief of the contact surface. This vertical arrangement of the fibers allows an increase in rigidity but not in adhesion. The invention aims to overcome the drawbacks of the prior art.
- the invention aims to provide an anti-slip material which has a higher coefficient of adhesion than that of the solutions of the prior art while inducing low energy dissipation when it is used.
- Another object of the invention is to provide such a material which has sufficient flexibility to become embedded in the irregularities of the surface with which it is in contact.
- the invention also aims to provide such a material which offers good resistance to wear.
- the invention also aims to provide such a material which can be integrated into the tread of a tire in order to improve its grip while reducing the rolling resistance compared to known tires.
- Another objective of the invention is to provide such a tire provided with a non-slip material which contributes to improving the braking of the vehicle, and therefore to reducing stopping distances, including when cornering.
- the invention also aims to provide such a tire incorporating a non-slip material which contributes to the functioning, or at least to the improvement of the functioning of safety systems or members which equip the vehicle.
- the invention also aims to provide such a material which can be integrated into shoe soles contributing to the comfort of the user.
- said matrix incorporates fibers inclined with respect to said contact surface, said fibers being made of a material having a rigidity greater than that of said matrix, said fibers being supported or maintained, directly or indirectly, in said matrix using at least one support member, and at least one end of said fibers is flush with or slightly protrudes from said contact surface, so that said fibers improve the adhesion of said material.
- the adhesion of the non-slip material according to the invention is improved appreciably without causing an increase in the dissipation of energy or excessive wear of the material, and this under various conditions of use.
- the fibers entrain the surrounding elastomer of the matrix because they are embedded in the matrix by adhering to it. This result is obtained insofar as the fibers extend over most of the thickness of the matrix, being directly or indirectly integral with it.
- This joining will be direct in the case for example where the fibers are overmolded by the matrix. It will be indirect if the fibers are brought into the recesses of the matrix, then glued or overmolded therein, the glue or the overmolding elastomer then ensuring adhesion between the fibers and the matrix.
- the support element according to the invention is a separate element from the elastomeric matrix, and molded by it. It is indeed essential that this support element is distinct from the matrix, by being more rigid than the latter, to form a limit to the displacement of the fibers and, consequently, to the deformation of the matrix on its side opposite to the surface. of contact.
- the fibers and the matrix support higher tangential stresses than in the prior techniques, the adhesion of the non-slip material being therefore increased.
- the encrustation of the fibers in the surface with which the material is in contact is favored by the inclination of the fibers allowing them to bend when they are subjected to compressive and / or shear stresses.
- the fibers can thus brace themselves and offer a high resistance to sliding.
- the fibers are flexible and therefore do not behave like nails such as those integrating studded tires, in order for example not to degrade the road surface, in the case where the material is applied to a tire. If the materials are made of a relatively rigid material such as a metal, the diameter of the fibers will be chosen so as to guarantee their flexibility.
- the fibers protrude too far from the surface, the adhesion would be reduced, because the emerging parts of these fibers would act as a flocking of fibers.
- the fibers according to the invention only 'outcrop or, at most, protrude from the matrix only over a small part of their length, for example not exceeding 5 to 15% of their total length. It is therefore understood that most of the length of the fibers is embedded in the matrix.
- the fibers are only flush with the contact surface of the matrix, that is to say that they are completely embedded in it, in order to improve the service life of the material by limiting the stresses exerted on the fibers during low stresses (such as those occurring during normal rolling, in the case where the material is applied to a tire).
- the matrix can be made of a relatively stiff elastomeric material while allowing better adhesion and less wear than with the flexible elastomeric materials of the prior art.
- said fibers form an angle ⁇ of between approximately 5 ° and approximately 70 ° with the normal to said contact surface.
- said fibers form an angle ⁇ of between approximately 25 ° and approximately 50 ° with the normal to said contact surface.
- said support element comprises at least one ply embedded in said matrix, one end of said fibers coming to bear on said ply.
- the embedded ply forming the support is relatively inflexible.
- the fibers can oppose fairly high stresses since they are retained by one of their ends in the matrix. This prevents the fibers from undergoing an overall displacement with the flexible matrix. In addition, such a characteristic contributes to better encrustation of the fibers in the surface with which the non-slip material is in contact, and therefore to better adhesion.
- said at least one support member cooperates with said fibers to hold them.
- the said means or means forming a support have, at least in the zone where they cooperate with said fibers, a blister admitting of being deformed.
- said blister consists of a gas pocket.
- the fibers are supported or maintained on a support element which is itself flexible while having a limited displacement, which allows the fibers to better match the strong possible roughness of the surface with which the non-slip material is in contact.
- said fibers overlap or intertwine said one or said support means.
- Weft threads possibly present in the matrix of the material to reinforce it, can then advantageously be used as elements forming a support for the fibers.
- one end of said fibers is embedded in said means support.
- said fibers preferably comprise at least one zone of greater flexibility near said end embedded in said support means.
- the fibers can be deformed without exerting excessive torque at their embedded end, thus limiting the risk of loosening of the fibers.
- said fibers comprise means for limiting their movement around said zone of greater flexibility.
- said fibers have at least one branch.
- said at least one branch forms at least one annular or spiral element surrounding at least one of said fibers.
- the fibers thus formed further entrain the matrix with them, forcing the material to conform to the shape of the surface with which it is in contact.
- the non-slip material comprises complementary means for maintaining said fibers in an intermediate position between said sheet or said support means and said contact surface.
- said fibers have different inclinations with respect to said contact surface so that several of said fibers converge with each other at said contact surface.
- the fibers may react to stresses occurring both longitudinally and laterally, for example in the case of braking when cornering.
- said fibers have different inclinations with respect to said contact surface so that several of said fibers diverge from each other at said contact surface.
- said fibers each comprise at least one long unitary fiber.
- said fibers are made of an agglomerate of particles and entangled fibers.
- said fibers comprise fibrils or aligned particles integrated in a plastic or elastomeric material.
- Such fibers can be produced by molding or by extrusion and then cutting, before their integration into the non-slip layer.
- said fibers are made of one or more materials belonging to the following group: - vulcanized or thermoplastic elastomer,
- this material will preferably be associated with at least one second material (the two materials can be in the form of filaments) which will have the function of avoiding rigid material to deform permanently.
- said fibers are sensitive to a magnetic or electric field. According to an advantageous solution common to the previous embodiments, at least one of said fibers is connected to information transmission means.
- the invention also relates to a method of manufacturing an anti-slip material as described above, comprising the steps consisting in:

- an additional treatment such as sizing, irradiation, flame treatment, spraying with a chemical agent. or soaking in a chemical bath (phosphorus, sulfur, chromium, oxygenation bath, hydrogenation bath).
- a radial and perpendicular field is applied then a shearing of the elastomer is caused. It is obtained by rotating only one of the peripheral parts of the mold, the outer or inner one. The particles are subjected to the field which encourages them to have a radial alignment. The part of the rotating mold frictionally drives the surrounding matrix and, by the viscosity effect, the fibrils formed are deflected by this shearing. Thus the fibrils instead of being radial, form spirals, all the more inclined as the induced shear is high.
- the invention also relates to a tire comprising an anti-slip material comprising an elastomeric matrix and having at least one contact surface with a ground, said matrix integrating flexible fibers inclined relative to said contact surface, said fibers being made of a material having a rigidity greater than that of said matrix, said fibers being supported or maintained, directly or indirectly, in said matrix by means of at least one support element, and in that at least one end of said fibers is flush or slightly protrudes from said contact surface.

- said information transmission means are connected to a system for detecting the coefficient of adhesion or friction of said sole on said ground.
- said system for detecting the coefficient of adhesion or friction is coupled to at least one sound and or light emitter activated when said coefficient of adhesion or friction detected has a value below a predetermined threshold.

- the fibers are sensitive to an electric or magnetic field in order to impose an inclination on them once they are embedded in the matrix of the non-slip material according to the invention.
- the fibers 51 comprise fibrils or particles 511 sensitive to a magnetic field (or electric according to another embodiment) mixed with an elastomer.
- the inclination of the fibers is obtained by applying a variable magnetic field in the mold as illustrated in FIG. 21.
- the matrix 1 and the particles 2111 sensitive to a magnetic field intended to form the fibers 211 are injected into a mold comprising an inner wall 2131 and an outer wall 2132, a support element 212 having been previously disposed in the mold.
- the magnetic circuit 2141 made up of sheets and connected to the coil 214, makes it possible to produce a magnetic field oriented in the direction of the arrow F2 in the air gap (space between the endings 2142 and 2143), the direction of the magnetic field being obtained by setting up, in the desired direction, terminations 2142, 2143 of the magnetic circuit 2141 on the internal walls of the walls 2131 and 2132 respectively of the mold.
- the walls of the mold outside the magnetic field are made up or coated with a non-magnetizable material so as not to deflect the applied magnetic field and limit magnetic leaks.
- the variations of the magnetic field correspond to an application by successive and progressive stages of the electric intensity which traverses the coil 214, aiming to optimize the operation together with a vibration of the mold using a piezoelectric element 215 ( simply closing the mold may constitute sufficient shaking or vibration).
- the fibers 41 are made of plastic and coated with an ionizable layer, before being injected with the matrix material in a mold.
- the inclination of the fibers is obtained according to a process similar to that used for the embodiment described above. It will be noted that the fibers may have different inclinations. Indeed, as it appears in FIG. 19, the fibers 191 and 192 are inclined differently with respect to the contact surface la so that they diverge at the level of the surface la. Fibers do this in two directions. According to another embodiment, the fibers 191 and 192 could converge at the contact surface la to increase their transverse stability.
- a tire comprises a pneumatic chamber 26, a carcass reinforcement 27, a layer of elastomer 28, a tread comprising sculptures or spikes 21, in particular intended for driving water off on wet roads .
- the studs have a contact surface with the ground 20.
- the tread and the studs of the tire comprise an elastomer matrix 1 in which fibers 22 are embedded, inclined at approximately 45 ° relative to the surface in contact with the ground 20.
- the fibers 22 come to bear on a sheet 23 embedded in the matrix 1, an intermediate element 24 contributing in a complementary manner to the maintenance of the fibers 22 in their inclined position.
- the fibers 22, composed of long mixed glass - polypropylene fibers are welded by heating to the element 24, consisting of a fabric comprising polypropylene fibers.
- the fibers, by their orientation tend to brace, their ends at the contact surface tending to become embedded in the relief of the ground 20, while their other end is held by the ply 23.
- the fibers 31 are fixed on a support 32 which approximately follows the profile of the spikes . It is interesting to draw the fibers 31 from the support 32 made of a fabric.
- fibers 22 are connected to information transmission means.
- the information transmission means comprise a sensor 25 placed between the fibers 21 and the ply 23.
- the signal from the sensor 25 is transmitted by an electrical contact between the wheel shaft and the chassis of the vehicle to a processing device. information integrated into an operating system of information related to the brake control in order to avoid locking of the wheels during braking.
- the sensor 25 consists of a piezoelectric film which generates an electric current as a function of the stress of the fiber which presses on it. According to other versions, the sensor 25 can also be of the capacitive, resistive or even inductive type.
- the sensor 144 is of the resistive type, then consisting of a strain gauge fixed on the flexible zone 1411 of the connecting element 142 of the fibers 141 with the support element 143.
- the fibers are in this case preferably connected in series with each other by an electrical connection, forming a network through which an electric current is sent.
- the measurement of the electrical impedance fluctuations makes it possible to identify the variation in electrical resistance of the network or networks thus formed, giving an indication of the behavior of the fibers.
- the fibers can be made of optical fibers serving both as transmitter and receiver. As pulses are sent to the optical fibers, the reflected signal differs according to the contact or absence of contact of the fiber with the ground. Analysis of the received signal then makes it possible to deduce the state of stress of the fibers, which acts in particular on the distortion of the signal. The level of grip and the speed of rotation are thus determined.
- fibers comprising magnetic particles have a portion, preferably their base, arranged through a winding of electrically conductive wire.
- the relative displacement of the magnetized particles through the turns of this winding depending on the stresses on the fiber, generates an electric current.
- This signal representing the response of a set of inductive sensors of this type is used to determine the speed of rotation (or displacement) and the level of grip.
- conductive fibers distributed around the periphery are connected in series. An electric current is generated at through this network. Each passage of a conductive fiber on the ground causes a drop in current by transmitting part of it to the ground. Fluctuations in the response recorded determine the speed of rotation.
- the processing of the information can also make it possible to detect the state of an under-inflated tire, the slackening of the tire resulting in a demand for a greater number of fibers than normal.
- the sole 200 includes sculptures 201 integrating inclined fibers 2011, embedded in a matrix 1, and coming to bear on a support element 2013.
- At least one of the fibers 2011 is connected to at least one means of transmitting information.
- the information means are linked to a system for detecting the adhesion coefficient.
- a sensor 2012 sensitive to variations in fiber deformation is connected to an electronic circuit which processes the signal from the sensor so as to deduce a loss of adhesion.
- the technique used for the sensor is chosen from one of the techniques mentioned above for applying the non-slip material according to the invention to tires.
- a sound or light signal is generated when the detected coefficient of adhesion has a value below a predetermined threshold.
- the non-slip material according to the invention can also be used in other applications in an advantageous manner, in particular by being integrated into products such as non-slip mats, transmission belts, rollers or drive rollers, gloves for handling ....
- the application of the invention to the belts makes it possible to transmit a greater torque without increasing the dissipation of energy.
- the contact surface of the sheaves must be striated or bumpy, in order to provide anchor points for said fibers.
- the V-belts are produced by stacking successive layers in accordance with the invention.
- the fibers are arranged symmetrically with respect to the radiant plane of symmetry of the sheave and they work in the same direction on each layer to have no deviation from the support. This is not the case with current belts reinforced with fabrics where the transverse fibers have one end drawn and the other repelled, which has the effect of making the fibers enter rather than making them come out according to the invention.
- the fibers according to the invention can advantageously be installed only on the front part of a brake shoe.
- the sensors according to the invention can also be used in other applications such as the movement control of a roller, a drive roller or a belt installed on a machine.
- Another application relates to the detection of the passage of a person on a carpet. This type of sensor informs a door opening and closing control device or even triggers an alarm.
