Definitions
- the subject of the present invention is a radial tire, intended to equip a heavy vehicle of the civil engineering type and more particularly for underground mines, and more particularly concerns the tread of such a tire.
- a radial tire for a heavy vehicle of the civil engineering type within the meaning of the standard of the European Tire and Rim Technical Organization (ETRTO), is intended to be mounted on a rim whose diameter is at least equal to 25 inches and for a nominal load at least equal to 8000 Kg.
- ERRTO European Tire and Rim Technical Organization
- a tire having a geometry of revolution relative to an axis of rotation the geometry of the tire is generally described in a meridian plane containing the axis of rotation of the tire.
- the radial, axial and circumferential directions respectively designate the directions perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the tire, parallel to the axis of rotation of the tire and perpendicular to the meridian plane.
- the circumferential direction is tangent to the circumference.
- a tire comprises a tread, intended to come into contact with a ground via a rolling surface, the two axial ends of which are connected via two sidewalls with two beads ensuring the mechanical connection between the tire and the rim on which it is intended to be mounted.
- a radial tire further comprises a reinforcing reinforcement, consisting of a crown reinforcement, radially internal to the tread, and a carcass reinforcement, radially internal to the crown reinforcement.
- the carcass reinforcement of a radial tire for a heavy vehicle of the civil engineering type usually comprises at least one carcass layer comprising generally metallic reinforcements, coated with a polymeric material of the elastomer or elastomeric type, obtained by mixing and called coating mix.
- a carcass layer comprises a main part, connecting the two beads together and generally winding, in each bead, from the inside to the outside of the tire around a circumferential reinforcing element, most often metallic, called a bead, to form a reversal.
- the metal reinforcements of a carcass layer are substantially parallel to each other and form, with the circumferential direction, an angle of between 80° and 90°.
- the crown reinforcement of a radial tire for a civil engineering vehicle comprises a superposition of crown layers extending circumferentially, radially outside the carcass reinforcement.
- Each top layer is made up of generally metallic reinforcements, parallel to each other and coated with a polymeric material of the elastomer type or coating mixture.
- the tread of tires for underground mines has very specific conditions of use. Lowering the tires to the bottom of the mine and changing them are costly and complex operations that must be limited. For the tread, it is therefore necessary to offer the user the maximum volume of rubber configured to be in contact with the ground or volume of rubber to be worn, maximum to limit these operations. Especially since tires used in underground mines are subject to severe and repeated attacks. Furthermore, for safety reasons, speed in underground mines is limited, and the presence of a There is no point in sculpting the tread to evacuate water or increase grip. For this extreme use, tire manufacturers therefore use smooth and very thick treads compared to the diameter of the casing.
- the inventors set themselves the objective, for a radial tire for a mining civil engineering type vehicle, of increasing the tearing resistance of the tread portion.
- a radial tire for a mining vehicle intended to be mounted on a rim having a rim diameter at least equal to 24 inches and to carry a nominal load at least equal to 8,000 kg, comprising : • a tread intended to come into contact with a ground via a rolling surface and connected via two sidewalls to two beads intended to come into contact with the rim,
- crown reinforcement radially internal to the tread, comprising crown layers, comprising metal reinforcements
- the tread having an axial width and having, in the median plane, a radial thickness, defined as the radial distance from the most radially outer point of the crown layer most radially outer to the rolling surface, the thickness radial E of the tread being at least equal to 0.04*Rm,
- the tread comprising at least a first rubber composition and a second rubber composition, constituting at least 90% of the thickness of the tread
- the first rubber composition constitutes at least 40% and at most 66% of the thickness of the tread, and preferably at least 45% and at most 60% of the thickness of the tread,
- the elongation at break at 100°C of the first rubber composition is at least equal to 500%, and the maximum dynamic loss tanô of said first rubber composition, measured at a temperature of 100°C and at a frequency of 10 Hz, is at most equal to 0.13,
- the first rubber composition comprises a mass ratio of reinforcing filler at least equal to 30 phr (parts of filler per 100 parts of elastomer) and at most equal to 80 phr
- the second rubber composition comprises carbon black having a mass content at least equal to 30 phr and at most equal to 75 phr
- the mining tires considered have the particularity of having a thick tread when new with a very low rate of notching when new or when worn.
- the tread having an axial width W and having, in the median plane, a radial thickness E equal to the radial distance from the most radially outer point of the crown layer most radially outer to the rolling surface, the thickness radial E of the tread is at least equal to 0.04*Rm, which corresponds for the dimensions referred to to radial thicknesses of the tread in new condition, greater than 55 mm and up to 120 mm for certain dimensions.
- the surface notch rate is calculated by estimating the surface area of the notches, grooves, incisions present in the tread surface when new compared to the total surface area of the tread which corresponds to the axial width of the tread multiplied by the perimeter of the tire. For tires whose axial width of the tread varies circumferentially, we can take the average axial width and for tires whose perimeter varies axially, we will take the average perimeter to calculate the rolling surface. The cut rate of such tires is often zero. Such a surface notch rate makes it possible to reduce the temperature within the tread without impacting the volume of rubber to be worn.
- the tread essentially comprises two rubber mixtures or rubber compositions making up at least 90% of the thickness of the tread.
- “comprising at least 90% of the thickness of the tread” it is meant that on a meridian section, the average radial thickness in the axial direction of the second composition plus the average radial thickness in the axial direction of the first rubber composition is greater than 90% of the average radial thickness in the axial direction of the tread.
- the radial thickness of the tread is measured from the most radially outer point of the most radially outer reinforcing layer of the crown reinforcement to the point of the rolling surface.
- the thickness of the coating rubber of the most radially outer reinforcement is negligible compared to the thickness of the tread. For points whose axial distance from the midpoint is greater than the half axial width of the radially outermost reinforcement layer, the tread thickness is calculated as the radius of the rolling surface at this axial distance of the median plane minus the radius of the most axially outer point of the most radially outer points of the most radially outer reinforcing layer of the crown reinforcement.
- tread compositions for example a fine rubber composition allowing adhesion of the first rubber composition to the coating mixture of the most radially outer layer of the tread. crown reinforcement, or a layer of rubber composition allowing better adhesion between the two main rubber compositions of the tread which together represent at least 90% and preferably 99% of the thickness of the tread rolling.
- the second rubber composition being radially external to the first rubber composition, has a secant extension modulus E10 2 at 10% deformation, measured at 23° C at least equal to 5.2 MPa, on a sample taken from the cured tire.
- Rubber compositions have expansion moduli usually measured according to ASTM D 412 on specimens manufactured for testing. A person skilled in the art will know how to choose and adapt the dimensions of the test piece according to the quantity of mixture accessible and available in the case of taking a test piece from the tire for this measurement as well as for all measurements on the materials. .
- the first composition constitutes at least 40% and at most 66% of the thickness of the tread, preferably at least 45% and at most 60% of the thickness of the tread .
- the first rubber composition generates little temperature rise during rolling and therefore that its maximum dynamic loss tanô, at a temperature of 100° C. and at a frequency of 10 Hz, or at most equal to 0.13.
- Rubber compositions have dynamic losses usually measured according to standard ASTM D 5992-96 on specimens manufactured for the test. A person skilled in the art will know how to choose and adapt the dimensions of the test piece according to the quantity of mixture accessible and available in the case of taking a test piece from the tire for this measurement as well as for all measurements on the materials. .
- the elongation at break at 100°C of the first rubber composition of the tread is at least equal to 500%, preferably at least equal to 575 %.
- the rubber compositions have elongations at break usually measured according to standard NF T 46 0002 on specimens manufactured for the test. A person skilled in the art will know how to choose and adapt the dimensions of the test piece according to the quantity of mixture accessible and available in the case of taking a test piece from the tire for this measurement as well as for all measurements on the materials. .
- the second rubber composition which, being in contact with the outside air via the rolling surface, can exchange more calories with the exterior in particular, and have better wear performance being radially external to the first rubber composition.
- the second rubber composition exchanges calories more easily with the outside being in contact with the outside through the rolling surface and not only like the first rubber composition through the axial edges of the tread .
- the second rubber composition moves more, and therefore at the end of the contact area it slides over a greater length and therefore tends to wear more unless its composition is designed to avoid this problem.
- the mass rate expressed in pce of total reinforcing filler of the second composition is greater than the mass rate expressed in pce (parts of filler per 100 parts of elastomer) of filler of the first composition.
- reinforcing filler we mean either carbon black or silica.
- the first composition includes a reinforcing filler rate at least equal to 30 phr (parts of filler per 100 parts of elastomer) and at most equal to 80 phr.
- the second composition comprises as reinforcing fillers at least carbon black, the carbon black having a rate at least equal to 30 phr (parts filler per 100 parts of elastomer) and at most equal to 75 phr, preferably at least equal to 40 phr.
- the second rubber composition (222) it is advantageous for the second rubber composition (222) to comprise a total mass content of reinforcing filler at least equal to 40 phr.
- the first rubber composition have a low dynamic loss but it is also preferable that it include silica and carbon black as reinforcing fillers.
- silica for the same loading rate generates less heat. This characteristic makes it more insulating but given the geometric position of the first rubber composition, already isolated by the second rubber composition from the largest exchange zone with the outside, namely the rolling surface, this has little effect. ' influence.
- the first rubber composition to be a rubber composition based on elastomers.
- dienics comprising at least one reinforcing filler mainly comprising carbon black with a specific surface area STSA (Statistical Thickness Surface Area or determination of the surface by statistical thickness) greater than 100 m2/g.
- STSA Statistical Thickness Surface Area or determination of the surface by statistical thickness
- a carbon black with a STSA specific surface area greater than 100 m2/g is a “fine” black providing superior resistance to crack propagation.
- the second rubber composition is a rubber composition based on diene elastomers comprising at least one reinforcing filler, mainly comprising carbon black with a specific surface area STSA between 70 and 140 m2/g and a COAN index (Compressed Oil Absorption Number or Oil absorption index on compressed samples) between 85 and 105 ml/100 g, the composition comprises an oil with a rate at most equal to 20 phr, and a tackifying resin (or specific hydrocarbon resin) with a rate of not more than 10 phr.
- a tackifying resin or specific hydrocarbon resin
- the measurement of the specific surface area STSA or fineness of black is well known to those skilled in the art of tires. It is carried out on the mixture taken from the tire, the test piece being adapted from the measurement presented in standard ASTM D-6556.
- the oil absorption index by compressed samples of carbon black (CO AN) is a measure of the ability of carbon black to absorb liquids. This property is itself a function of the structure of the carbon black.
- the COAN index is determined by adapting the ISO 4656/2012 standard using an absorptiometer, with compressed samples of carbon black from samples taken from the tire.
- the tackifying resin useful for the purposes of the invention can be chosen from natural or synthetic resins.
- synthetic resins it can be preferentially chosen from aliphatic or aromatic thermoplastic hydrocarbon resins or even of the aliphatic/aromatic type, that is to say that the hydrocarbon resins according to the invention comprise aliphatic units, or aromatic units, or further aliphatic units and aromatic units.
- aromatic monomers are, for example, styrene, alpha-methyl styrene, ortho-, meta, para-methyl styrene, vinyl toluene, para-tertiobutylstyrene, methoxystyrenes, chlorostyrenes, vinylmesitylene, divinylbenzene, vinylnaphthalene, any vinylaromatic monomer resulting from a C9 cut (or more generally from a Cs to Cio cut).
- the vinylaromatic monomer is styrene or a vinylaromatic monomer from a C9 cut (or more generally from a Cs to Cio cut).
- the vinylaromatic monomer is the minority monomer, expressed as a mole fraction, in the copolymer considered.
- a second rubber composition improved in conductivity will be all the more effective if the rate of notching of the tread is not zero. It is important that it remains low, namely that the rolling surface has a surface notch rate of less than 1%, so as not to significantly reduce the volume of rubber to be worn.
- An optimal distribution of the notch is to have two narrow grooves so as not to reduce the volume of rubber to be worn, going around the tire, on either side of the median plane zigzagging from the axial exterior of the tread towards the median plane in order to evacuate calories from all areas of the tread, namely the center and the axial ends.
- the tread comprises at least two narrow grooves going around the tire, each narrow groove having a general zigzagging shape of wavelength L and amplitude A, the wavelength L being between 10% and 120% of the axial width W of the tread, and the amplitude A being between 10% and 40% of this same axial width W, the rolling surface having a lower surface rate of notch at 1%.
- Narrow groove means grooves whose average width is less than 10 mm.
- each narrow zigzagging groove has a maximum depth, at least equal to 20% and at most equal at 90% of the thickness E of the tread and preferably between 40% to 70% of the thickness E.
- the grooves have the disadvantage of increasing the flexibility of certain parts of the tread, which can generate irregular wear of the tread.
- a solution to limit this phenomenon is to put bridges in these grooves, particularly in the longitudinal or transverse parts.
- a preferred solution is that a plurality of bridges are formed in the narrow zigzagging grooves, each bridge being formed from the bottom of the narrow grooves and locally reducing the depth of these narrow grooves by at least 20% of the maximum depth of these narrow grooves.
- Figure 1 shows a volume view of a variant of the invention of a tire according to the invention.
- the tire 1 comprises a crown part 2 extended on either side by sidewalls 3, these sidewalls 3 ending in beads not shown in this figure 1, and a carcass reinforcement 31 extending in the top part 2, in the sides 3 and in the beads.
- the median plane M is perpendicular to the axis YY' of rotation of the tire and passes through the middle of the tread 22 in Figure 1.
- the crown part 2 is surmounted radially on the outside by a tread 22 having a rolling surface 10, one of width W equal to 680 mm and a thickness E, in the median plane M, equal to the radial distance from the radially outermost point of the radially outermost crown layer (211) to the rolling surface (10).
- the top part 2 comprises a top frame 21 formed of several working layers 210 and a protective frame 211 positioned radially outside the working layers 210.
- the tread 22 is formed by superposition of two materials, a first rubber composition 221 and a second rubber composition 222, this second rubber composition 222 being located radially outside the first rubber composition 221 to come into contact with the ground when the tire is new, this second rubber composition 222 having an average radial thickness equal to 62.5 mm.
- the average thickness of the first rubber composition 221 is equal to 62.5 mm and is intended to be worn while rolling as soon as the second layer 222 is worn out in its entirety.
- the first rubber composition 221, located radially inside the second rubber composition 222 is chosen to have a low hysteresis value characterized by a tanô value, this tanô value being obtained under the conditions specified in this document. In the invention this low hysteresis must be associated with a high elongation value at break.
- An intermediate layer 20 can be inserted between the crown reinforcement 21 and the tread 22.
- This intermediate layer has the particular role of linking the tread to the rest of the tire.
- the radial thickness of this intermediate layer represents less than 10% of the thickness E of the tread 22.
- two narrow zigzagging grooves 4, 5 are formed by molding having the same geometry, these narrow zigzagging grooves are continuous and go completely around the tire around its axis of rotation (indicated by the direction YY' in this figure 1).
- These narrow zigzagging grooves 4, 5 have the same maximum depth P equal to 70 mm and an average width equal to 6 mm, this average width being appropriate so that the walls delimiting these narrow zigzagging grooves 4, 5 come at least partially into contact l against each other when rolling the tire.
- the narrow zigzagging grooves are present when new to ensure effective ventilation and disappear when the tread has a reduced thickness and therefore presents less heating while driving.
- Each narrow zigzagging groove 4, 5 has a crenellated shape for which we define a wavelength L equal here to 240 mm and an amplitude A equal to 300 mm.
- each narrow groove wall has a surface area which is equal to approximately five times the equivalent cross-sectional area of the tread, the latter cross-sectional area being evaluated by multiplying the width W of the tread by the thickness E of material to use.
- the most radially outer part of the tread is ventilated by the presence of these two narrow zigzagging grooves 4, 5, which have the ability to close when passage in the contact to maintain a level of rigidity appropriate to new. After sufficient partial wear to see the narrow zigzagging grooves disappear, the good intrinsic qualities of the first rubber composition 221 ensure good performance of the tire.
- the invention was tested or evaluated on tires of size 29.5R29.
- the tires according to the invention are compared to reference tires of the same size for each numerical evaluation.
- the tire is modeled using the finite element method and calculations are made at a load of 14,000 kg, at an inflation pressure of 4.5 bars.
- the calculation results below illustrate the invention. These results are expressed as the distance per hour to reach a maximum temperature of 120°C at any point on the tread, a temperature at which the risk of crack development increases significantly. Only the tread changes between the different tires, the crown reinforcements, carcass reinforcements, the sidewalls, the beads are strictly identical between the reference tires and the different variants of the tires according to the invention.
- the reference tires include:
- a first rubber composition comprising 70 phr of natural rubber and 30 phr of styrene-butadiene (SBR) comprising 43 phr of carbon black with a specific surface area STSA equal to 85 m 2 /g for an elongation at break of 460% at 100°C, a hysteresis equal to 0.08 at 100°C for a secant extension modulus E10 1 at 10% deformation, measured at 23°C at 5.1 MPa.
- SBR styrene-butadiene
- a second rubber composition comprising 20 phr of natural rubber and 80 phr of styrene-butadiene (SBR) comprising 65 phr of carbon black with a STSA specific surface area equal to 125 m 2 /g and a CO AN index equal to 95 ml/ 100g and 16 pce of tackifying oil, for an elongation at break of 551% at 100°C, a hysteresis equal to 0.25 at 100°C and a secant extension modulus E10_2 at 10% deformation, measured at 23°C at 5.0 MPa.
- SBR styrene-butadiene
- the tires according to the invention include:
- a first rubber composition comprising, for 100 phr of natural rubber, comprising 40 phr of carbon black with a STSA specific surface area equal to 125 m 2 /g and 15 phr of silica for an elongation at break of 625% at 100°C and a hysteresis equal to 0.11 at 100°C, a secant extension modulus E10 1 at 10% deformation, measured at 23°C at 5.2 MPa
- a second rubber composition comprising 100 phr of styrene-butadiene (SBR) comprising 60 phr of carbon black with a STSA specific surface area equal to 125 m 2 /g and a COAN index equal to 95 ml/100g, and 11 phr of tackifying oil, for an elongation at break of 362% at 100°C, a hysteresis equal to 0.22 at 100°C, for a secant extension modulus E10_2 at 10% deformation, measured at 23° C at 5.7 MPa.
- SBR styrene-butadiene
- the reference tires use a technology with two rubber compositions, a first very low loss rubber composition (0.08) with mechanical performances balanced between the breaking strength and the secant extension modulus for such hysteresis and a second rubber composition with a high breaking elongation associated with a median secant extension modulus to resist attacks.
- the optimal distribution for this type of stacking is of the order of 20% of first rubber composition in the thickness of the tread.
- the optimum for temperature, strongly linked to crack propagation should logically be when the model includes only the lowest hysteresis rubber composition.
- the thermal parameter decreases very slightly.
- resistance to attacks from tire decreases sharply in particular due to the modulus of the first rubber composition, which makes it less resistant to attack.
- the gain in thermal performance is of the order of 40% compared to a tire comprising 100% of the second rubber composition in the tread .
- the optimum temperature is no longer 66% of first rubber composition in the tread but 50% of first rubber composition in the tread and the performance decreases by more than 10% compared to this optimum for a tire comprising only the first rubber composition.
- the interaction between the sculpture and the constitution of the tread makes it possible to find an optimum shifted according to the proportion of the first rubber composition compared to a tire without narrow grooves.
- the heat exchange effect is optimized thanks to the narrow grooves for the second rubber composition comprising carbon black as filler which takes precedence over the generation of calories but also thanks to the reduction in heat exchange for a material of more low hysteresis comprising silica which also has an effect of reducing heat exchange.
- the specific characteristics of the tread, very thick and very low notch rate make this optimum very specific.
- the optimum for a tire according to the invention with a tread pattern with narrow grooves with 50% of first rubber composition allows an improvement in thermal performance of almost:
- the gain in thermal performance is greater than 70% compared to a tire without narrow grooves whose tread is made of 100% second rubber composition.
- the gain in thermal performance is greater than 75% compared to a tire without narrow grooves whose tread is composed of 100% second rubber composition.
- the tires according to the invention due to the high extension modulus of their second rubber composition, will have improved resistance to attacks by 10 to 20% compared to tires reference.
- the tires according to the invention will have an improvement in their performance in resistance to cracking of the order of 20%.
- the invention therefore makes it possible to find a greatly improved balance between the thermal, cracking and tearing performances of parts of the tread compared to tires according to the state of the art.
