Definitions
- the present invention relates to a tire that suppresses the temperature rise of rubber in a tire side portion, particularly, a bead portion, while reducing the manufacturing cost.
- turbulent flow generation protrusions are formed along the tire radial direction in a range from the side portion to the bead portion as a temperature reduction means of the bead portion.
- a turbulent flow having a high flow velocity on the tire surface is generated, and heat dissipation is promoted in the bead portion, thereby suppressing a temperature rise in the bead portion.
- the conventional tire described above has the following problems. That is, the method of forming protrusions in the bead portion is likely to generate heat by increasing the rubber volume of the bead portion and, as a result, increasing the amount of deformation of the rubber when the tire is rolling. In this case, by forming the protrusions, heat dissipation is promoted, and as a result, the effect of suppressing the temperature rise of the bead portion is diminished. Moreover, since the rubber
- an object of the present invention is to provide a tire that suppresses the temperature rise of the rubber in the tire side portion, particularly the bead portion, while reducing the manufacturing cost.
- a feature of the present invention is that a tire (pneumatic) has a circumferential recess (circumferential recess 100) that is recessed inward in the tread width direction and extending in the tire circumferential direction on the outer surface of the tire side portion (tire side portion 20).
- Tire 1) a tire having a recess in the tread width inward and extending in the tire circumferential direction on the outer surface of the tire side portion, the tire recess having a tire diameter in the circumferential recess.
- a radially outer end located radially outside the tire center and a radially inner tip (inner tip 110a) located radially inward of the radially outer end and tread width direction outside A first block (first block 110) that protrudes toward the inner side, a radially inner end located on the inner side in the tire radial direction from the center in the radial direction of the tire in the circumferential recess, and a radial direction
- a second block (second block 120) that protrudes outward in the tread width direction and has a radially outer front end (outer front end 120a) positioned on the outer side in the tire radial direction from the inward end.
- the gist is that the radially inner tip of the first block and the radially outer tip of the second block are separated in the tire circumferential direction or the tire radial direction.
- a turbulent flow is generated in the circumferential recess as the pneumatic tire rotates. Specifically, the air flowing on the outer surface of the tire side portion enters the circumferential recess, and the air entering the circumferential recess flows so as to get over the first block and the second block. At this time, the heat of the bead portion is taken away by the flow of air that repeatedly adheres and peels from the circumferential recess. That is, heat dissipation is promoted starting from the circumferential recessed portion, thereby suppressing the temperature rise of the bead portion. As a result, it is possible to suppress the deterioration of the tire due to the temperature rise of the bead portion, and the durability of the pneumatic tire can be improved.
- the first block and the second block formed in the circumferential recess are separated from each other, an air flow is generated between the first block and the second block. Therefore, the air that has entered the circumferential recess is likely to be turbulent due to the flow of air that flows over the first block and the second block and the flow of air that flows between the first block and the second block. For this reason, the heat radiation of the bead part is promoted starting from the circumferential recess, and the temperature rise of the bead part accompanying the rotation of the pneumatic tire can be suppressed.
- the volume of the rubber in the bead portion is reduced as compared with the case where the circumferential recess is not formed. That is, the amount of rubber deformed as the pneumatic tire rotates in the bead portion is reduced. For this reason, it is possible to suppress heat generation due to deformation of the rubber in the bead portion. Furthermore, since the amount of rubber for manufacturing the pneumatic tire can be reduced, the manufacturing cost of the pneumatic tire can be suppressed as a result.

- the portion 110a and the outer front end portion 120a of the second block 120 are separated from each other in the tire radial direction. According to this, a turbulent air flow is generated in the circumferential recess 100 as the pneumatic tire 1 rotates.
- the air flowing on the outer surface of the tire side portion 20 enters the circumferential recess 100 and flows over the first block 110 and the second block 120. For this reason, the air that has entered the circumferential recess 100 flows in a turbulent manner so as to repeatedly adhere to and peel from the first wall surface 101, the second wall surface 102, and the bottom surface 103.
- the heat of the bead portion 30 whose temperature has increased with the rotation of the pneumatic tire 1 is taken away by the flow of air that has entered the circumferential recess 100. In other words, heat dissipation is promoted starting from the circumferential recess 100, so that an increase in the temperature of the bead portion 30 can be suppressed. As a result, it becomes possible to suppress the deterioration of the tire due to the temperature rise of the bead portion 30, and the durability of the pneumatic tire 1 can be improved.
- the circumferential recess 100 is formed, so that the rubber volume of the bead portion 30 is reduced as compared with the case where the circumferential recess 100 is not formed. I am letting. That is, the amount of rubber deformed with the rotation of the pneumatic tire 1 in the bead portion 30 is reduced. For this reason, it is possible to suppress heat generation due to deformation of the rubber of the bead portion 30. Furthermore, since the rubber amount for manufacturing the pneumatic tire 1 can be reduced, the manufacturing cost of the pneumatic tire 1 can be suppressed as a result.
- the circumferential recess 100 is within a range Ra of 15 to 30% of the tire cross-section height H from the lower end of the pneumatic tire 1 in the cross-section along the tread width direction and the tire radial direction. Is formed. That is, the circumferential recess 100 is formed in a range Ra close to the bead portion 30.
- the bead portion 30 is fitted to the hard rim wheel 60, in a state where the pneumatic tire 1 is mounted on the vehicle, deformation due to falling into the rim flange 61 and friction with the rim flange 61 are achieved. Therefore, the temperature of the bead portion 30 is likely to rise due to heat generation. Therefore, in the pneumatic tire 1 according to the first embodiment, by forming the circumferential recess 100 in the above-described range Ra, the effect of suppressing the temperature rise of the bead portion 30 that easily generates heat is increased.
- the depth in the tread width direction of the circumferential recess 100 is formed in the range of 10 mm to 25 mm. If the depth in the tread width direction of the circumferential recess 100 is smaller than 10 mm, it is difficult for air flowing on the outer surface of the tire side portion 20 to enter the circumferential recess 100 and turbulence occurs in the circumferential recess 100. difficult. Therefore, heat radiation in the bead portion 30 is reduced. On the other hand, if the depth in the tread width direction of the circumferential recess 100 is greater than 25 mm, it is difficult for air that has entered the circumferential recess 100 to adhere to the bottom surface 103. In this case, in the region near the bottom surface 103 of the circumferential recess 100, air turbulence does not occur and warm air stays. Therefore, heat radiation in the bead portion 30 is reduced.
- the length of the circumferential recess 100 in the tire radial direction is formed to be 100 mm to 150 mm.
- the length in the tire radial direction of the circumferential recess 100 is smaller than 100 mm, it becomes difficult for sufficient air to promote heat dissipation in the bead portion 30 to enter the circumferential recess 100.
- the length in the tire radial direction of the circumferential recess 100 is larger than 150 mm, sufficient air for promoting heat dissipation in the bead portion 30 easily enters the circumferential recess 100, but the bead portion 30 is formed.
- the volume of the rubber to be reduced is reduced, the rigidity of the bead portion 30 is reduced.
- the width W in the tire circumferential direction of the first block 110 and the second block 120 is formed within a range of 2 mm to 10 mm.
- the width W in the tire circumferential direction of the first block 110 and the second block 120 is less than 2 mm, the first block 110 and the second block 120 may vibrate due to the air flow drawn into the circumferential recess 100.
- the width W in the tire circumferential direction of the first block 110 and the second block 120 is less than 2 mm, the rigidity of each block may be reduced, which may cause damage due to running on a rough road.
- the distance L2 along the tire radial direction between the inner front end portion 110a of the first block 110 and the outer front end portion 120a of the second block 120 is the first block 110 (or the second block 120). It is formed to be 15% to 30% with respect to the pitch P in the tire circumferential direction.
- the distance L2 is less than 15% with respect to the pitch P, the flow of air that has entered the circumferential recess 100 is hindered, so that many portions (regions) in which air stays in the circumferential recess 100 are generated. End up.
- the distance L2 is larger than 30% with respect to the pitch P, the pitch P with respect to the distance L2 becomes small. End up.
- the depth H in the tread width direction of the circumferential recess 100, the pitch P in the tire circumferential direction of each block, and the width W in the tire circumferential direction of each block are 1.0 ⁇ P / H ⁇ 50.0 and 1.0 ⁇ (P ⁇ W) /W ⁇ 100.0. According to this, by defining the range of P / H, the state of the air flow drawn into the circumferential recess 100 can be roughly organized by P / H. If the pitch P is too small, it is difficult for air that has entered the circumferential recess 100 to adhere to the bottom surface 103. In this case, in the region near the bottom surface 103 of the circumferential recess 100, air turbulence does not occur and warm air stays.
- (P ⁇ W) / W indicates the ratio of the width W of the first block 110 (or the second block 120) to the pitch P. If this is too small, the temperature rise is suppressed by dissipating heat. This is the same as making the surface area of each block equal to the area of the desired surface. Since each block is made of rubber, the effect of improving heat dissipation due to an increase in surface area cannot be expected. Therefore, the minimum value of (P ⁇ W) / W is set to 1.
