Description

本発明は、成形ドラムにおけるベルト成形面の改良に係わり、トレッドリングを高精度で効率よく形成しうるとともに、生タイヤ本体との接合精度を向上しうるタイヤの製造方法に関する。   The present invention relates to improvement of a belt forming surface in a forming drum, and relates to a tire manufacturing method capable of forming a tread ring with high accuracy and efficiency and improving the joining accuracy with a green tire body.

図8に示すように、ラジアルタイヤにおける生タイヤaの形成工程では、ビードコアbにより両端部が係止されたカーカスプライc1を含む生タイヤ本体cを円筒状に形成し、この生タイヤ本体cを、前記ビードコアb、b間でトロイド状に膨出(シェーピング)させることにより、予めその半径方向外側に待機させたトレッドリングdの内周面と圧着せしめ、両者c、dを一体に接合することにより前記生タイヤaを形成している。   As shown in FIG. 8, in the formation process of the raw tire a in the radial tire, the raw tire main body c including the carcass ply c1 whose both ends are locked by the bead core b is formed in a cylindrical shape. By bulging (shaping) between the bead cores b and b in a toroidal shape, the bead cores b and b are brought into pressure contact with the inner peripheral surface of the tread ring d that has been waiting in advance in the radial direction, and the c and d are joined together. Thus, the raw tire a is formed.

他方、前記トレッドリングdは、成形ドラムeを用い、その外周面であるベルト成形面e1上で、ベルトプライおよびトレッドゴム等を順次巻き重ねることにより形成される。なお図中の符号Gは、トレッドリング移送装置であり、前記成形ドラムe上に形成されたトレッドリングdを、その外周面を保持して受け取り、前記生タイヤ本体c上方の待機位置Pまで移送するとともに、該生タイヤ本体cとの接合が終了するまでトレッドリングdを保持する。   On the other hand, the tread ring d is formed by sequentially winding a belt ply, a tread rubber and the like on a belt forming surface e1 which is an outer peripheral surface of the forming drum e. Reference symbol G in the figure denotes a tread ring transfer device that receives the tread ring d formed on the forming drum e while holding the outer peripheral surface thereof, and transfers it to a standby position P above the raw tire body c. At the same time, the tread ring d is held until the joining with the green tire body c is completed.

しかし、従来の成形ドラムeでは、前記ベルト成形面e1が直円筒状(ドラム軸芯を含む断面において直線状)をなすため、図9(A)に示すように、生タイヤaのトレッド部atは、タイヤ加硫金型Mのトレッド成形面Msの輪郭形状に比して平坦化する。その結果、トレッド中央側at1とトレッドショルダ側at2とで、加硫成型時のストレッチ量δが不均一となりユニフォミティーが低下するという問題がある。   However, in the conventional forming drum e, the belt forming surface e1 has a right cylindrical shape (a straight shape in the cross section including the drum shaft core), and therefore, as shown in FIG. Is flattened as compared with the contour shape of the tread molding surface Ms of the tire vulcanizing mold M. As a result, there is a problem that the stretch amount δ at the time of vulcanization molding becomes non-uniform at the tread center side at1 and the tread shoulder side at2, resulting in a decrease in uniformity.

特に近年、乗用車用タイヤにおいては、高速走行性能や騒音性能を高めることを主目的として、ベルトプライの外側に、高モジュラスのバンドコードをタイヤ周方向に螺旋状に巻回したバンドプライを形成している。このようなバンドプライは、コードの伸びが低いため、前記ストレッチ量δを低く設定する必要があるが、トレッド中央側at1で必要なストレッチ量δを確保したとき、トレッドショルダ側at2がトレッド成形面Msと加硫前に接触してしまう所謂マイナス・ストレッチが発生し、ベルトプライやバンドプライにコード乱れを生じさせるという問題がある。   Particularly in recent years, in passenger car tires, a band ply in which a high modulus band cord is spirally wound in the tire circumferential direction is formed on the outside of the belt ply with the main purpose of improving high-speed running performance and noise performance. ing. Since such a band ply has a low cord elongation, it is necessary to set the stretch amount δ low. However, when the necessary stretch amount δ is secured at the tread center side at1, the tread shoulder side at2 is the tread molding surface. There is a problem that a so-called minus stretch that comes in contact with Ms before vulcanization occurs, causing cord disturbance in the belt ply and the band ply.

又ベルト剛性の向上や耐久性の向上の観点から、図9(B)に示すように、複数枚のベルトプライfのうちの一枚をフォールドプライffとし、そのフォールド部ff1を半径方向最外側のベルトプライfの外面上にU字状に折り返したフォールド構造を採用することも行われている。しかし、このフォールド構造では、トレッドショルダ側at2でベルトの厚さが増すため、前記ストレッチ不足やマイナス・ストレッチが生じた場合には、フォールド部ff1上のトレッドゴム厚さが極端に減じる。その結果、接地圧が局部的に不均一化し、同図にドット模様で示すような偏摩耗jが顕著に発生する傾向となる。   Also, from the viewpoint of improving belt rigidity and durability, as shown in FIG. 9B, one of the plurality of belt plies f is a fold ply ff, and the fold portion ff1 is the outermost radial direction. A fold structure in which the belt ply f is folded back on the outer surface of the belt ply f is also employed. However, in this fold structure, since the thickness of the belt increases on the tread shoulder side at2, the thickness of the tread rubber on the fold portion ff1 is extremely reduced when the stretch is insufficient or minus stretch occurs. As a result, the contact pressure becomes uneven locally, and uneven wear j as shown by the dot pattern in the figure tends to be noticeably generated.

そこで近年、このようなストレッチ量の均一化やマイナス・ストレッチの防止のために、図10に示すように、成形ドラムeのベルト成形面e1を、前記タイヤ加硫金型Mのトレッド成形面Msに近似させた単一円弧の凸曲面で形成した所謂プロファイルデッキが提案されている(例えば特許文献1参照)。   Therefore, in recent years, in order to make the stretch amount uniform and prevent minus stretch, the belt molding surface e1 of the molding drum e is used as the tread molding surface Ms of the tire vulcanization mold M as shown in FIG. A so-called profile deck formed by a convex surface of a single arc approximated to the above has been proposed (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

特開2005−212278号公報Japanese Patent Laying-Open No. 2005-212278

しかしこのような従来のプロファイルデッキでは、赤道C近辺も一様な円弧で湾曲しているため、この赤道C上でベルトプライfを正確に巻き付けることが難しく、例えばドラム軸芯に対して傾斜して巻き付けてしまうなど、巻き付け精度および巻き付け作業効率を損ねるという問題がある。又形成されたトレッドリングdの外面も一様な円弧で湾曲するため、前記トレッドリング移送装置Gにより保持する際、トレッドリングdが傾いて生タイヤ本体cとの間に位置ずれを招き、タイヤ精度を損ねるという問題も生じる。   However, in such a conventional profile deck, the vicinity of the equator C is also curved with a uniform arc, so it is difficult to accurately wind the belt ply f on the equator C, for example, it is inclined with respect to the drum axis. There is a problem that the winding accuracy and the winding work efficiency are impaired. Further, since the outer surface of the formed tread ring d is also curved with a uniform arc, when the tread ring d is held by the tread ring transfer device G, the tread ring d is inclined to cause a positional deviation with respect to the raw tire body c. There is also a problem that accuracy is lost.

そこで本発明は、前記プロファイルデッキの利点を活かしながら、ベルトプライやトレッドゴムの巻き付け精度および巻き付け作業効率を高めることができ、トレッドリングを高精度で効率よく形成しうるとともに、生タイヤ本体cとの接合精度を向上しうるタイヤの製造方法を提供することを目的としている。   Therefore, the present invention can increase the winding accuracy and winding work efficiency of the belt ply and the tread rubber while taking advantage of the profile deck, can form the tread ring with high accuracy and efficiently, and the raw tire body c. It aims at providing the manufacturing method of the tire which can improve the joining precision of this.

A rubber annular body forming step of forming a tread rubber annular body by winding a tread rubber around the belt ply annular body in the radial direction;
The belt molding surface is divided into a central molding contour line at the center in the drum axial direction and an outer molding contour line on both outer sides in the cross section including the drum axis of the belt molding surface, and the central molding contour line. The length L1 in the drum axis direction is 15 to 50% of the length L0 in the drum axis direction of the belt forming surface,
Moreover, the center forming contour line is composed of a first contour line made of a convex arc or straight line having a curvature radius R1 of 800 mm to ∞, and the outer forming contour line has a curvature radius R2 smaller than the curvature radius R1.

しかもベルト成形面のドラム軸心方向中央の中央成形輪郭線が、曲率半径R1が800mm〜∞の凸円弧又は直線からなるなど、その両外側の外側成形輪郭線に比して平坦であるため、ベルトプライやトレッドゴムの巻き付け精度および巻き付け作業効率を高めることができ、トレッドリングを高精度で効率よく形成しうるとともに、トレッドリングと生タイヤ本体との接合精度を向上しうる。   Moreover, since the central forming contour line at the center of the drum forming direction of the belt forming surface is made of a convex arc or straight line having a radius of curvature R1 of 800 mm to ∞, it is flat compared to the outer forming contour lines on both outer sides. The winding accuracy and winding work efficiency of the belt ply and the tread rubber can be increased, the tread ring can be formed with high accuracy and efficiency, and the joining accuracy between the tread ring and the green tire body can be improved.

以下、本発明の実施の一形態を、図示例とともに説明する。図1は本発明のタイヤの製造方法によって製造されたタイヤの一例を示す断面図である。   Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view showing an example of a tire manufactured by the tire manufacturing method of the present invention.

前記タイヤ1は、本例では乗用車用の空気入りラジアルタイヤであって、トレッド部2からサイドウォール部3をへてビード部4のビードコア5に至るカーカス6と、トレッド部2の内方かつ前記カーカス6の半径方向外側に配されるベルト層7とを具える。   The tire 1 is a pneumatic radial tire for passenger cars in this example, and includes a carcass 6 extending from the tread portion 2 through the sidewall portion 3 to the bead core 5 of the bead portion 4, the inside of the tread portion 2, and the above-described tire 1. A belt layer 7 disposed on the radially outer side of the carcass 6.

前記カーカス6は、カーカスコードをタイヤ周方向に対して例えば75゜〜90゜の角度で配列した1枚以上、本例では1枚のカーカスプライ6Aから形成される。このカーカスプライ6Aは、前記ビードコア5、5間を跨るプライ主部6aの両端に、前記ビードコア5の廻りでタイヤ軸方向内側から外側に折り返されるプライ折返し部6bを一連に具える。そして該プライ主部6aとプライ折返し部6bとの間には、ビードコア5からタイヤ半径方向外側にのびる断面三角形状のビード補強用のビードエーペックスゴム8を配置している。   The carcass 6 is formed of one or more carcass plies 6A in this example, in which carcass cords are arranged at an angle of, for example, 75 ° to 90 ° with respect to the tire circumferential direction. The carcass ply 6A includes a series of ply turn-up portions 6b that are turned from the inner side to the outer side in the tire axial direction around the bead core 5 at both ends of the ply main portion 6a straddling the bead cores 5 and 5. Between the ply main portion 6a and the ply turn-up portion 6b, a bead apex rubber 8 for bead reinforcement having a triangular cross section extending from the bead core 5 to the outer side in the tire radial direction is disposed.

前記ベルト層7は、ベルトコードをタイヤ周方向に対して例えば10〜35゜の角度で配列した複数枚、本例では2枚のベルトプライ7A、7Bからなる。このベルトプライ7A、7Bは、半径方向内外で重置するとともに、各ベルトコードがプライ間相互で交差することによりベルト剛性を高め、トレッド部2の略全巾をタガ効果を有して強固に補強する。   The belt layer 7 includes a plurality of belt plies 7A and 7B in this example, in which belt cords are arranged at an angle of, for example, 10 to 35 ° with respect to the tire circumferential direction. The belt plies 7A and 7B are placed inside and outside in the radial direction, and the belt cords are crossed between the plies to increase the belt rigidity, so that the substantially full width of the tread portion 2 has a tagging effect and is strong. Reinforce.

本例では、複数枚のベルトプライのうちで半径方向最内側の最内側ベルトプライ7Aは、タイヤ軸方向にのびる本体部7A1の両端部が、前記複数枚のベルトプライのうちで半径方向最外側に配される最外側ベルトプライ7Bの外面上にU字状に折り返されるフォールド部7A2を形成するフォールドプライ10として形成される。これにより、ベルト端における剛性を高めて操縦安定性を向上させるとともに、ベルトプライのカットエンドを被覆保護し、ベルト端剥離を抑えて耐久性を向上させる。   In this example, among the plurality of belt plies, the innermost belt ply 7A on the innermost side in the radial direction is such that both ends of the main body portion 7A1 extending in the tire axial direction are radially outermost among the plurality of belt plies. Is formed as a fold ply 10 that forms a fold portion 7A2 that is folded in a U shape on the outer surface of the outermost belt ply 7B. As a result, the rigidity at the belt end is increased to improve the handling stability, and the cut end of the belt ply is covered and protected, and the belt end peeling is suppressed to improve the durability.

又本例では、高速走行性能や騒音性能を高めることを主目的として、前記最外側ベルトプライ7Bの外側に、バンドコードをタイヤ周方向に対して5°以下の角度で螺旋状に巻回したバンドプライ9を形成している。このバンドプライ9は、前記最外側ベルトプライ7Bと、前記フォールド部7A2との間に介在し、ベルト端を拘束してトレッドショルダー部の外径成長、並びにその挙動を抑えて高速走行性能、および騒音性能を向上させる。なお前記バンドコードとして、ポリエチレンナフタレート(PEN)、ポリエチレンテレフタレート(PET)、アラミド等の高モジュラスの有機繊維コードが好適に採用できる。   In this example, with the main purpose of improving high-speed running performance and noise performance, a band cord is spirally wound outside the outermost belt ply 7B at an angle of 5 ° or less with respect to the tire circumferential direction. A band ply 9 is formed. This band ply 9 is interposed between the outermost belt ply 7B and the fold portion 7A2, restrains the belt end, and grows the outer diameter of the tread shoulder portion, and suppresses its behavior, and the high speed running performance, Improve noise performance. As the band cord, a high modulus organic fiber cord such as polyethylene naphthalate (PEN), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), or aramid can be suitably used.

又前記ベルト層7の外側には、トレッド接地面TSをなすトレッドゴム12が配されている。   A tread rubber 12 forming a tread ground surface TS is disposed outside the belt layer 7.

次に、本発明のタイヤの製造方法を説明する。このタイヤの製造方法では、従来と同様、未加硫の生タイヤ21を加硫金型内で加硫成形することにより、前記空気入りラジアルタイヤ1を形成する。又前記生タイヤ21も、図2に示すように、従来と同様、前記ビードコア5により両端部が係止されたカーカスプライ6Aを含む生タイヤ本体22を円筒状に形成し、この生タイヤ本体22を、前記ビードコア5、5間でトロイド状に膨出(シェーピング)させることにより、予めその半径方向外側に待機させたトレッドリング23の内周面と圧着せしめ、生タイヤ本体22とトレッドリング23とを一体に接合することにより形成される。   Next, the manufacturing method of the tire of this invention is demonstrated. In this tire manufacturing method, the pneumatic radial tire 1 is formed by vulcanizing and molding an unvulcanized raw tire 21 in a vulcanizing mold, as in the prior art. Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the raw tire 21 is also formed in a cylindrical shape with a raw tire body 22 including a carcass ply 6A having both ends locked by the bead core 5 as in the prior art. Is swelled (shaped) between the bead cores 5 and 5 in a toroidal shape so as to be crimped to the inner peripheral surface of the tread ring 23 that has been waiting in the radial direction in advance, and the raw tire body 22 and the tread ring 23 Are integrally joined.

そして本発明では、前記トレッドリング23をトレッドリング成形機31を用いて形成するトレッドリング形成工程に特徴がある。このトレッドリング形成工程では、図3、4に示すように、成形ドラム30を有するトレッドリング成形機31を用い、
(1)前記成形ドラム30のベルト成形面30S上に、複数枚(本例では2枚)のベルトプライ7A、7Bを順次巻き付けることにより複数層(本例では2層)のベルトプライ環状体24を形成するプライ環状体形成工程(図3)と、
(2)このベルトプライ環状体24の半径方向外側に、トレッドゴム12を巻き付けてトレッドゴム環状体25を形成するゴム環状体形成工程と(図4)とを含む。
In the present invention, the tread ring 23 is formed by using the tread ring forming machine 31 to form the tread ring 23. In this tread ring forming step, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, a tread ring forming machine 31 having a forming drum 30 is used.
(1) A plurality (two in this example) of belt plies 7A and 7B are sequentially wound on the belt forming surface 30S of the molding drum 30 to form a belt ply annular body 24 having a plurality of layers (two in this example). A ply annular body forming step (FIG. 3) for forming
(2) A rubber annular body forming step of forming the tread rubber annular body 25 by winding the tread rubber 12 around the belt ply annular body 24 in the radial direction is included (FIG. 4).

ここで、前記トレッドリング成形機31は、図5に略示するように、外周面に円筒状のベルト成形面30Sを有する縮径可能な成形ドラム30と、この成形ドラム30を回転駆動させる駆動装置(図示しない)とを少なくとも含んで構成される。又前記成形ドラム30は、周方向に分割された複数個のデッキセグメント32を具え、各デッキセグメント32は、リンク機構、シリンダ等を用いた周知の縮径手段33によって半径方向内外に移動可能に支持される。そして各デッキセグメント32が半径方向外方に前進した基準状態Z1において、各デッキセグメント32の外面が互いに協働して、円筒状のベルト成形面30Sを形成する。又この基準状態Z1から半径方向内方に後退する縮径状態Z2において、形成されたトレッドリング23を成形ドラム30から取り外すことができる。   Here, as schematically shown in FIG. 5, the tread ring molding machine 31 has a cylindrical drum molding surface 30S on the outer peripheral surface and a diameter-reducible molding drum 30 and a drive for rotating the molding drum 30. And at least a device (not shown). The forming drum 30 includes a plurality of deck segments 32 divided in the circumferential direction, and each deck segment 32 is movable inward and outward in the radial direction by a known diameter reducing means 33 using a link mechanism, a cylinder or the like. Supported. In the reference state Z1 in which each deck segment 32 advances radially outward, the outer surfaces of the deck segments 32 cooperate with each other to form a cylindrical belt forming surface 30S. Further, the formed tread ring 23 can be detached from the forming drum 30 in the reduced diameter state Z2 that retreats radially inward from the reference state Z1.

次に、前記ベルト成形面30Sは、このベルト成形面30Sのドラム軸芯を含む断面(図6に示す)において、ドラム軸心方向中央の中央成形輪郭線S1と、その両外側の外側成形輪郭線S2とに区分される。このとき、前記中央成形輪郭線S1のドラム軸心方向の長さL1は、前記ベルト成形面30Sのドラム軸心方向の長さL0の15〜50%の範囲としている。   Next, the belt forming surface 30S has a center forming contour line S1 at the center in the drum axis direction and outer forming contours on both outer sides thereof in a cross section (shown in FIG. 6) including the drum axis of the belt forming surface 30S. Divided into line S2. At this time, the length L1 of the central forming contour S1 in the drum axis direction is in a range of 15 to 50% of the length L0 of the belt forming surface 30S in the drum axis direction.

そして、前記中央成形輪郭線S1を、曲率半径R1が800mm〜∞の凸円弧又は直線からなる第1の輪郭線J1で形成するとともに、前記外側成形輪郭線S2を、曲率半径R2が前記第1の輪郭線J1の曲率半径R1よりも小な凸円弧の第2の輪郭線J2で形成している。本例では、前記第1の輪郭線J1が直線(R1=∞)である好ましい場合を例示しているが、前記ベルト成形面30Sの巾中心線CO上に中心を有する曲率半径R1が800mm以上の凸円弧であっても良い。又前記第2の輪郭線J2も、本例では、前記巾中心線CO上に中心を有する曲率半径R2の凸円弧からなり、従って、ベルト成形面30Sがなす輪郭線J0は、第1、第2の輪郭線J1、J2が交点Pで折れ曲がる屈曲線として形成される。   And while forming the said center shaping | molding outline S1 by the 1st outline J1 which consists of a convex circular arc or straight line whose curvature radius R1 is 800 mm-infinity, the curvature radius R2 is said 1st curvature radius R2. The second contour line J2 is a convex arc smaller than the radius of curvature R1 of the contour line J1. In this example, the preferred case where the first contour line J1 is a straight line (R1 = ∞) is illustrated, but the curvature radius R1 having the center on the width center line CO of the belt forming surface 30S is 800 mm or more. It may be a convex arc. In the present example, the second contour line J2 is also a convex arc having a radius of curvature R2 centered on the width center line CO. Therefore, the contour line J0 formed by the belt forming surface 30S is the first, first, and second contour lines. Two contour lines J1 and J2 are formed as bent lines that bend at the intersection P.

このように前記ベルト成形面30Sは、第1、第2の輪郭線J1、J2からなる凸状に形成されているため、従来的な単一円弧のプロファイルデッキと同様、トレッド中央側とトレッドショルダ側とで、加硫成型時のストレッチ量を均一化できユニフォミティーを向上させることができる。特に本例の如く、高モジュラスのバンドコードを用いてバンドプライ9を形成する場合、ストレッチ量を低く設定する必要があるが、その時、トレッドショルダ側でマイナス・ストレッチとなってベルトプライやバンドプライのコード乱れが発生するのを抑制することができる。さらに、ベルト層7にフォールドプライ10を採用した場合、加硫成型時のゴム流れによって、フォールド部7A2上のゴムが移動してゴム厚さが極端に減じ、接地圧が局部的に不均一化する傾向となるが、それを抑制することが可能となる。   Thus, since the belt forming surface 30S is formed in a convex shape composed of the first and second contour lines J1, J2, the tread central side and the tread shoulder as in the conventional single arc profile deck are formed. The amount of stretch during vulcanization molding can be made uniform and the uniformity can be improved. In particular, when the band ply 9 is formed using a high modulus band cord as in this example, it is necessary to set the stretch amount low. At that time, however, the belt ply or band ply becomes a minus stretch on the tread shoulder side. Can be prevented from occurring. Furthermore, when the fold ply 10 is adopted for the belt layer 7, the rubber on the fold portion 7A2 moves due to the rubber flow at the time of vulcanization molding, the rubber thickness is extremely reduced, and the ground pressure is locally uneven. However, it can be suppressed.

そのために、前記第2の輪郭線J2の曲率半径R2を5000mm以下、さらには3000mm以下、さらには1500mm以下に設定するのが好ましい。しかし曲率半径R2が小さすぎると、ベルトプライを成形ドラムに巻付けた時に、ドラムの両端部でしわになりやすいという不利があり、従って曲率半径R2の下限値は700mm以上、さらには800mm以上、さらには900mm以上が好ましい。   Therefore, it is preferable that the radius of curvature R2 of the second contour line J2 is set to 5000 mm or less, further 3000 mm or less, and further 1500 mm or less. However, if the radius of curvature R2 is too small, there is a disadvantage that when the belt ply is wound around the forming drum, it tends to be wrinkled at both ends of the drum. Therefore, the lower limit of the radius of curvature R2 is 700 mm or more, further 800 mm or more, Furthermore, 900 mm or more is preferable.

特にフォールドプライ10を採用した場合、図7の如く、前記曲率半径R2を5000mm以下とし、前記フォールド部7A2の先端7Aeにおける、該フォールド部7A2の外面のドラム軸心からの高さDAを、ドラム軸心方向中央である前記巾中心線COにおける、前記最外側ベルトプライ7Bの外面のドラム軸心からの高さD0よりも小に設定するのが好ましい。これによって、前記フォールド部7A2上におけるゴム厚さの減少を効果的に抑えることができ、耐偏摩耗性の向上効果を高めることができる。   In particular, when the fold ply 10 is employed, the radius of curvature R2 is set to 5000 mm or less as shown in FIG. 7, and the height DA from the drum axis of the outer surface of the fold portion 7A2 at the tip 7Ae of the fold portion 7A2 is It is preferable that the width is set to be smaller than the height D0 of the outer surface of the outermost belt ply 7B from the drum shaft center in the width center line CO which is the center in the axial direction. Thereby, the decrease in the rubber thickness on the fold portion 7A2 can be effectively suppressed, and the effect of improving the uneven wear resistance can be enhanced.

他方、前記ベルト成形面30Sでは、中央成形輪郭線S1が外側成形輪郭線S2に比して平坦な凸円弧又は直線で形成される。従って、前記ベルト成形面30S上で、ベルトプライ7A、7B、およびトレッドゴム12が傾いて巻き付けられるのを抑制することができ、巻き付け精度、および巻き付け作業効率を高めることが可能となる。又形成されるトレッドリング23の外面も中央側が平坦化するため、トレッドリング移送装置G(図8に示す)に保持される際に、傾くのを抑制でき、生タイヤ本体22との位置ずれを防ぎ、タイヤ精度を高めることもできる。   On the other hand, on the belt forming surface 30S, the central forming contour S1 is formed as a flat convex arc or straight line as compared with the outer forming contour S2. Therefore, the belt ply 7A, 7B and the tread rubber 12 can be prevented from being inclined and wound on the belt forming surface 30S, and the winding accuracy and the winding work efficiency can be improved. Further, since the outer surface of the tread ring 23 to be formed is flattened on the center side, it can be prevented from being tilted when held on the tread ring transfer device G (shown in FIG. 8), and the positional deviation from the raw tire body 22 can be prevented. It can also prevent tire accuracy.

そのために、前記中央成形輪郭線S1の曲率半径R1を800mm以上、かつ前記曲率半径R2より大としている。前記曲率半径R1が800mm未満では、前記巻き付け精度や巻き付け作業効率等の向上効果が充分発揮されず、このような観点から曲率半径R1は1000mm以上、さらには1200mm以上が好ましく、特に R1=∞ 即ち中央成形輪郭線S1を直線とするのが最も好ましい。   Therefore, the radius of curvature R1 of the center forming contour line S1 is set to 800 mm or more and larger than the radius of curvature R2. When the radius of curvature R1 is less than 800 mm, the effect of improving the winding accuracy, winding work efficiency, etc. is not sufficiently exhibited. From this viewpoint, the radius of curvature R1 is preferably 1000 mm or more, more preferably 1200 mm or more, and particularly R1 = ∞. Most preferably, the center forming contour line S1 is a straight line.

なお中央成形輪郭線S1の前記長さL1が、ベルト成形面30Sの前記長さL0の15%未満では、前記巻き付け精度や巻き付け作業効率等の向上効果が充分発揮されない。逆に50%を越えると、トレッドショルダ側でストレッチ不足やマイナス・ストレッチが発生しやすく、ユニフォミティーの低下、コード乱れ、偏摩耗などを充分抑制することができなくなる。従って、前記長さL1の下限値は、前記長さL0の20%以上が好ましく、又上限値は40%以下が好ましい。   If the length L1 of the central forming contour S1 is less than 15% of the length L0 of the belt forming surface 30S, the effect of improving the winding accuracy, winding work efficiency, etc. is not sufficiently exhibited. On the other hand, if it exceeds 50%, stretch shortage and minus stretch are likely to occur on the tread shoulder side, and it becomes impossible to sufficiently suppress deterioration of uniformity, cord disturbance, uneven wear, and the like. Accordingly, the lower limit of the length L1 is preferably 20% or more of the length L0, and the upper limit is preferably 40% or less.

次に、本実施形態のプライ環状体形成工程では、図3の如く、ベルトプライ7Aを、いったん中央成形輪郭線S1上で一周巻き付けし、しかる後、その両側部分を外側成形輪郭線S2に押し付けることにより、ベルト成形面30Sに沿った一層目のベルトプライ環状体24Aを得る。これと同様、ベルトプライ7Bを、前記ベルトプライ環状体24A上で中央成形輪郭線S1に沿って一周巻き付けし、しかる後、その両側部分をベルトプライ環状体24Aを介して外側成形輪郭線S2に押し付ける。これにより二層目のベルトプライ環状体24Bを得る。このように一層毎に、ベルト成形面30Sに沿ったベルトプライ環状体24A、24Bを順次形成していくため、外側成形輪郭線S2に押し付けする際のベルトコードの配列乱れを防止することができる。なお二層目のベルトプライ環状体24Bを形成した後、その外面上にバンドプライ9を形成し、しかる後一層目のベルトプライ環状体24Aの両端部をU字に折り返してフォールド部7A2を形成する。   Next, in the ply annular body forming step of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, the belt ply 7A is once wound once around the central molding contour S1, and then both side portions thereof are pressed against the outer molding contour S2. Thus, a first-layer belt ply annular body 24A along the belt forming surface 30S is obtained. Similarly, the belt ply 7B is wound once around the belt ply annular body 24A along the center molding contour S1, and then both side portions thereof are formed on the outer molding contour S2 via the belt ply annular body 24A. Press. As a result, a second-layer belt ply annular body 24B is obtained. In this way, the belt ply annular bodies 24A and 24B along the belt forming surface 30S are sequentially formed for each layer, so that it is possible to prevent the belt cords from being disturbed when pressed against the outer forming contour line S2. . After forming the second-layer belt ply annular body 24B, the band ply 9 is formed on the outer surface, and then both ends of the first-layer belt ply annular body 24A are folded back into a U shape to form the fold portion 7A2. To do.

又ゴム環状体形成工程では、図4の如く、一層目、二層目のベルトプライ環状体24A、24Bからなるベルトプライ環状体24上で、トレッドゴム12を中央成形輪郭線S1に沿って一周巻き付けした後、その両側部分をベルトプライ環状体24を介して外側成形輪郭線S2に押し付けし、ベルト成形面30Sに沿ったトレッドゴム環状体25を形成する。   In the rubber annular body forming step, as shown in FIG. 4, the tread rubber 12 is rotated around the center molding contour line S1 on the belt ply annular body 24 including the first and second belt ply annular bodies 24A and 24B. After winding, both side portions are pressed against the outer molding contour line S2 via the belt ply annular body 24 to form the tread rubber annular body 25 along the belt molding surface 30S.

なおベルト成形面30Sの前記輪郭線J0として、本例の如く、第1、第2の輪郭線J1、J2が屈曲して交わる屈曲線であっても良く、又第2の輪郭線J2が第1の輪郭線J1に内接する滑らかな凸曲線で形成することもできる。   The contour line J0 of the belt forming surface 30S may be a bent line where the first and second contour lines J1 and J2 are bent and intersected as in this example, and the second contour line J2 is the first contour line J2. It can also be formed by a smooth convex curve inscribed in one contour line J1.
