前記周方向副溝には、前記第5溝曲がり部および前記第6溝曲がり部のそれぞれがタイヤ周方向に沿って2つ連続して設けられ、連続して設けられる2つの第5溝曲がり部および2つの第6溝曲がり部のぞれぞれの間で、前記センターラグ溝が横切る、形態16に記載の重荷重用空気入りタイヤ。

本明細書においてタイヤ幅方向とは、空気入りタイヤの回転中心軸方向をいい、タイヤ周方向とは、タイヤ回転中心軸を中心にタイヤを回転させたときにできるトレッド表面の回転方向をいう。タイヤ径方向とは、タイヤ回転中心軸から放射状に向く方向をいう。タイヤ径方向外側とは、タイヤ回転中心軸から遠ざかる側をいい、タイヤ径方向内側とは、タイヤ回転中心軸に近づく側をいう。また、タイヤ幅方向外側とは、タイヤ赤道線からタイヤ幅方向において遠ざかる側をいい、タイヤ幅方向内側とは、タイヤ幅方向においてタイヤ赤道線に近づく側をいう。
また、本明細書でいう重荷重用タイヤとは、JATMA(日本自動車タイヤ協会規格) YEAR BOOK 2014のC章に記載されるタイヤの他に、D章に記載される1種(ダンプトラック、スクレーバ)用タイヤ、2種(グレーダ)用タイヤ、3種(ショベルローダ等)用タイヤ、4種(タイヤローラ)用タイヤ、モビールクレーン(トラッククレーン、ホイールクレーン)用タイヤ、あるいはTRA 2013 YEAR BOOKのSECTION 4 あるいは、section 6に記載される車両用タイヤをいう。
交差ベルト層の各対は、ベルト幅が広いベルトのベルト幅W7に対する、ベルト幅の狭いベルトのベルト幅W8の比W8/W7は、0.75以上0.90以下である。例えば、図2に示すように、第1の交差ベルト層6aの例で説明すると、第1ベルト61のベルト幅がW7であり、第2ベルト62のベルト幅がW8に対応する。図示されないが、第2の交差ベルト層6bの場合、第3ベルト63のベルト幅がW7であり、第4ベルト64のベルト幅がW8に対応する。同様に、第3の交差ベルト層6cの場合、第5ベルト65のベルト幅がW7であり、第6ベルト66のベルト幅がW8に対応する。
しかし、本実施形態では、第1の交差ベルト層6a、第2の交差ベルト層6b、第3の交差ベルト層6cのそれぞれにおいて、タイヤ径方向内側に位置するベルトのベルト幅は、タイヤ径方向外側に位置するベルトのベルト幅に比べて必ずしも広くなくてもよい。交差ベルト層の各対における上記比W8/W7が、0.75以上0.90以下である限りにおいて、交差ベルト層の各対におけるベルト幅の広い、あるいは狭いについては特に制限されない。
また、複数対の交差ベルト層のうち、ベルト幅が広いベルトのベルト幅に関して、タイヤ径方向外側に位置するベルトほど、ベルト幅が広くなっている。第1の交差ベルト層6aのうちベルト幅の広い第1ベルト61のベルト幅と、第2の交差ベルト層6bのうちベルト幅の広い第3ベルト63のベルト幅と、第3の交差ベルト層6cのうちベルト幅の広い第5ベルト65のベルト幅に関して、第1ベルト61のベルト幅、第3ベルト63のベルト幅、第5ベルト65のベルト幅の順に広くなっている。本実施形態のベルト部6はこのようなベルト幅のベルトを有するが、必ずしも、第1ベルト61のベルト幅、第3ベルト63のベルト幅、第5ベルト65のベルト幅の順に広くなっていなくてもよい。
図3は、タイヤ1のトレッド部2に設けられたトレッドパターンを平面展開したパターン図である。図3中、タイヤ周方向はCで、タイヤ幅方向はWで方向を示している。
トレッド部2は、ショルダーラグ溝10と、一対の周方向主溝12と、センターラグ溝14と、センターブロック16と、周方向副溝20と、をトレッドパターンとして主に備える。
タイヤ幅方向の両側に位置するショルダーラグ溝10において、一方の半トレッド領域における1つのショルダーラグ溝10のタイヤ周方向の位置は、他方の半トレッド領域にある隣接する2つのショルダーラグ溝のタイヤ周方向の位置の間にある。
さらに、ショルダーラグ溝10は、半トレッド領域のそれぞれにおいて、ショルダーラグ溝10が有するタイヤ幅方向内側の端のタイヤ幅方向の位置が、後述するセンターラグ溝14の端のタイヤ幅方向の位置に比べてタイヤ幅方向外側にあり、かつ、ショルダーラグ溝10は、タイヤ周方向に間隔をあけて複数設けられている。ショルダーラグ溝10は、タイヤ周方向において、センターラグ溝14のうちタイヤ周方向に隣りあう隣接センターラグ溝14の間のショルダー領域に1つずつ設けられている。これにより、後述する周方向主溝12は、センターラグ溝14の端とショルダーラグ溝10のタイヤ幅方向の内側の端を交互に接続して波形状を成す。
なお、一対の周方向主溝12の波形状は、いずれも所定の波長を有する波形状であり、この2つの波形状のタイヤ周方向における位相はお互いに略半ピッチずれている。すなわち、一対の周方向主溝12のうち一方の周方向主溝12の第3溝曲がり部11aのタイヤ周方向の位置は、他方の周方向主溝12の、タイヤ周方向に隣り合う第3溝曲がり部11aのタイヤ周方向における位置の間にある。一対の周方向主溝12のうち一方の周方向主溝12の第3溝曲がり部11aと、他方の周方向主溝12の第4溝曲がり部11bとがタイヤ周方向の略同じ位置に設けられている。
センターラグ溝14は、第1溝曲がり部14a及び第2溝曲がり部14bを有することで、タイヤ周方向に波形状に変位する。第1溝曲がり部14a及び第2溝曲がり部14bの形状は、例えばこの第1溝曲がり部14a及び第2溝曲がり部14bによりつくられるセンターラグ溝14の曲がる角度θ(図4参照)が鈍角になる形状である。第1溝曲がり部14a及び第2溝曲がり部14bは、タイヤ赤道線CLのタイヤ幅方向両側に、タイヤ赤道線CLから同じ距離離間した位置に設けられることが好ましい。センターラグ溝14のうち、第1溝曲がり部14aと第2溝曲がり部14bとの間の部分にタイヤ赤道線CLが通過するように設けられ、また、この部分において、タイヤ幅方向に対するセンターラグ溝14の傾斜の向きが、上記部分以外の部分における傾斜の向きと異なっている。
図5に示すように、センターラグ溝14の第1溝曲がり部14aは、タイヤ赤道線CLを基準として第1の側(図4中の紙面左側)においてタイヤ周方向の第3の側(図3中の紙面上方向の側)に突出するように屈曲又は湾曲する。センターラグ溝14の第2溝曲がり部14bは、タイヤ赤道線CLを基準として第2の側(図4中の紙面右側)においてタイヤ周方向の第4の側(図3中の紙面下方向の側)に突出するように屈曲又は湾曲する。第4の側は、第3の側に対して反対側である。ここで、センターラグ溝14が周方向主溝12と接続する第1の側の第1接続端部14c及びセンターラグ溝14が周方向主溝12と接続する第2の側の第2接続端部14dは、周方向主溝12のタイヤ幅方向の内側の先端、すなわち第4溝曲がり部11b,11bに該当する。センターラグ溝14がタイヤ幅方向に対して傾斜しているため、センターラグ溝14の第2接続端部14dは、第1接続端部14cよりもタイヤ周方向の第3の側(図3中の紙面上方向の側)にある。
このとき、センターラグ溝14の溝幅方向の中心位置に関し、第1溝曲がり部14aがタイヤ周方向の第3の側(図3中の上方向の側)に突出する突出端と第1接続端部14cとを結ぶ第1直線14eのタイヤ幅方向に対する傾斜角度(0度より大きく90度より小さい傾斜角度)、および、第2溝曲がり部14bがタイヤ周方向の第4の側に突出する突出端と第2接続端部14dとを結ぶ第2直線14fのタイヤ幅方向に対する傾斜角度(0度より大きく90度より小さい傾斜角度)は、センターラグ溝14の第1接続端部14cと第2接続端部14dを結ぶ第3直線14gのタイヤ幅方向に対する傾斜角度(0度より大きく90度より小さい傾斜角度)よりも大きいことが好ましい。
周方向副溝20には第5溝曲がり部21aと第6溝曲がり部21bが設けられているが、第5溝曲がり部21aと第6溝曲がり部21bは必ずしも設けられなくてもよい。
このとき、第5溝曲がり21aは、タイヤ周方向の第3の側にすすむとき、タイヤ径方向外側からタイヤ径方向内側に向かってトレッドパターンを見たとき、時計回転方向に向きを変えるように、湾曲あるいは屈曲している。第6溝曲がり部21bは、タイヤ周方向の第3の側にすすむとき、タイヤ径方向外側からタイヤ径方向内側に向かってトレッドパターンを見たとき、反時計回転方向に向きを変えるように、湾曲あるいは屈曲している。この第5溝曲がり部21aと第6溝曲がり部21bが、タイヤ周上に設けられ、センターラグ溝14のうち隣接するセンターラグ溝14間にある周方向副溝20の部分は、第5溝曲がり部21aの1つと第6溝曲がり部21bの1つが配置されている。
このとき、図3に示すように、周方向副溝20には、第5溝曲がり部21aおよび第6溝曲がり部21bのそれぞれがタイヤ周方向に沿って2つ連続して設けられ、連続して設けられる2つの第5溝曲がり部21aおよび2つの第6溝曲がり部21bのぞれぞれの間で、センターラグ溝14が横切ることが好ましい。
周方向副溝20の上記直線部はタイヤ周方向に平行に延びる溝形状を有するが、この溝形状に替えて、上記直線部を湾曲形状にしてもよい。第5溝曲がり部21a及び第6溝曲がり部21bを湾曲形状にし、上記直線部を湾曲形状にする場合、2つの湾曲形状は、同じ曲率半径を有する湾曲形状にしてもよい。また、第5溝曲がり部21a及び第6溝曲がり部21bのうち、一方を、直線形状と湾曲形状の溝が接続して形成される屈曲形状の溝曲がり部とし、他方を、湾曲形状の溝曲がり部としてもよい。また、周方向副溝20は、上述したように、直線部と、第5溝曲がり部21a及び第6溝曲がり部21bと、傾斜部とを有するが、この形状に替えて、波形状にタイヤ周方向に変位しながらタイヤ周方向に延びる溝形状であってもよい。
また、センターブロック16の領域に、周方向副溝20を設けることにより、従来に比べて広い最大幅WBを持つセンターブロック16のエンベロープ性、すなわち路面の凹凸をトレッドゴムの変形で吸収する能力を向上させることができる。これより、センターブロック16の領域のタイヤ径方向内側に位置するベルトのセンター部分にかかる力を抑制することができる。
また、一対の周方向主溝12及びセンターラグ溝14の溝幅は、いずれも7~20mmであることが好ましい。このような溝幅を用いることにより、トレッド部2のエンベロープ性を向上させ、ベルトのセンター部分にかかる力を抑制することができる。
なお、タイヤ1は、建設用車両または産業用車両に装着されることが好ましい。建設用車両または産業用車両は、ダンプトラック、スクレーバ、グレーダ、ショベルローダ、タイヤローラ、ホイールクレーン、トラッククレーン、あるいは、COMPACTOR、 EARTHMOVER、GRADER、LOADER AND DOZER等の車両を含む。
本実施形態のタイヤの効果を調べるために、図1に示す構造を有するが、ベルト幅及びトレッドパターンの異なるタイヤを種々試作し、ベルトのエッジのセパレーションを調べた。試作したタイヤは、46/90R57である。リムサイズ29.00-6.0(TRA規定リム)に装着し、700kPa(TRA規定空気圧)、負荷荷重617.81kN(TRA規格荷重)を試験条件として、セパレーション試験を行った。
セパレーション試験は、室内ドラムで速度15km/時とし、ベルトのセパレーションが発生するまでタイヤを連続して走行させる試験である。セパレーションは、ベルトエッジのセパレーションが発生するまでのタイヤの走行時間で評価した。下記表では、上記走行時間を、従来例の走行時間を基準(指数100)とする指数として、ベルトの層間セパレーションの評価結果を表した。指数が高いほど、タイヤ走行時間が長く、セパレーションが生じ難いタイヤであることを意味する。
図7は、従来例のトレッドパターンを示す図である。図7に示すトレッドパターンは、ショルダーラグ溝110と、一対の周方向主溝112と、センターラグ溝114と、センターブロック116と、を備える。ショルダーラグ溝110と、一対の周方向主溝112と、センターラグ溝114と、センターブロック116は、それぞれ、ショルダーラグ溝10と、一対の周方向主溝12と、センターラグ溝14と、センターブロック16と同様な構成を有するが、ショルダーラグ溝110の溝幅と周方向主溝112の溝幅は同じである。周方向主溝112の溝幅がショルダーラグ溝110と同じであることから、周方向主溝12のように、ショルダーラグ溝10の溝幅より狭い周方向主溝ではないので、下記表2では、波形状の周方向主溝は「無し」、としている。
比較例1~6及び実施例1~19は、図2に示すトレッドパターンを用いた。
下記表1は、従来例、比較例1~6、及び実施例1~19のベルトの補強コードの配向方向のタイヤ周方向に対する傾斜角度、及びベルト幅を示している。補強コードの配向方向の傾斜角度における「+」は、タイヤ周方向を上下方向にみて、タイヤ周方向に対して、右上方向に補強コードが傾斜(配向)することを意味し、傾斜角度における「-」は、タイヤ周方向に対して、左上方向に補強コードが傾斜(配向)することを意味する。ベルト幅は、実施例1に用いたトレッドパターンのセンターブロック16の最大幅WBに対する%表示で示している。
比較例1~6及び実施例1~19では、図2に示すトレッドパターンを用い、トレッド幅T及びセンターブロック16の最大幅WBのそれぞれを同じ寸法に固定した。
実施例1~19のうちいくつかについての比W8/W7の値は、厳密には0.75~0.90の範囲から僅かにはずれる例があるが、小数点3桁目を四捨五入することにより、比W8/W7の値は、0.75~0.90の範囲に含まれる。例えば、実施例1の比W8/W7の値は、0.748(=140%/187%)であり、厳密には0.75未満であるが、小数3桁目を四捨五入して0.75となる。実施例3の比W8/W7の値は、0.903(=130%/144%)であり、厳密には0.90より大きいが、小数3桁目を四捨五入して0.90となる。
また、実施例5~8より、周方向主溝12に底上げ部12aを設けることがベルトの層間セパレーションを抑える点から好ましく、さらに、そのとき、D2/Tは0.5未満、好ましくは0.48以下あることが好ましいことがわかる。
また、実施例8,9より、周方向副溝20に第5溝曲がり部21a及び第6溝曲がり部21bを設けることが、ベルトの層間セパレーションを抑える点から好ましいことがわかる。
さらに、実施例9,10より、複数のベルト対のうち、ベルト幅の広いベルトの補強コードの配向方向がいずれも同じであること、さらに、タイヤ径方向に隣接するベルトと交差層を成すこと(ベルトの補強コードの配向方向が、タイヤ周方向からタイヤ幅方向の異なる向きに向かって傾斜していること)が、ベルトの層間セパレーションを抑える点から好ましいことがわかる。
また、実施例11~14より、比WB/W3は0.5~0.8であり、ベルト幅W3がベルト幅W2より広いことが、ベルトの層間セパレーションを抑える点から好ましいことがわかる。
さらに、実施例15~19より、周方向主溝12及びセンターラグ溝14の溝幅は、7~20mmであることがベルトの層間セパレーションを抑える点から好ましいことがわかる。
以上より、本実施形態の効果は明らかである。
