Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a pneumatic tire achieving lightening and controllability.SOLUTION: The pneumatic tire 1 includes bead cores 13 buried in a pair of bead parts 3 and a carcass 9 which consists of a carcass body 9a extending toroidally between the bead cores 13 concerned and a carcass turnback part 9b extending from the carcass body 9b and turning around from the inner side to the outer side around the bead cores 13, wherein the bead cores 13 are composed by stacking two or more rows of bead wires 22 of a cross section of parallelogram in a tire width direction with two or more steps in a tire diameter direction. Moreover, the pneumatic tire 1 includes a fiber reinforcement layer 28 composed by covering an organic fiber code with rubber between the bead cores 13 and the carcass 9.

Description

本発明は、ビードコアを、断面平行四辺形のビードワイヤをタイヤ幅方向に2列以上、タイヤ径方向に2段以上に積み重ねて構成することにより、所定の耐久性を確保しつつ、ビードコアの小型化による軽量化を図った空気入りタイヤにつき、軽量化と操縦安定性の両立を実現しようとするものである。   In the present invention, a bead core is configured by stacking bead wires having a parallelogram cross section in two or more rows in the tire width direction and in two or more steps in the tire radial direction, thereby reducing the size of the bead core while ensuring a predetermined durability. For pneumatic tires that have been reduced in weight, the aim is to achieve both weight reduction and steering stability.

近年、市場での環境性能への関心の高まりから、転がり抵抗の低減が求められており、転がり抵抗を低減する手段の一つにタイヤの軽量化が挙げられる。そして、タイヤを構成する種々の部材うち、重量の比較的大きな部材はビードコアであるから、該ビードコアを小型化することがタイヤの軽量化を図る上で有効であるといえる。   In recent years, due to increasing interest in environmental performance in the market, reduction of rolling resistance has been demanded, and one of the means for reducing rolling resistance is to reduce the weight of tires. And since the member with comparatively big weight among the various members which comprise a tire is a bead core, it can be said that reducing the bead core is effective in reducing the weight of the tire.

ところで、特許文献1には、ビードコアを構成するビードワイヤの形状の適正化を図ることによって、隣り合うビードワイヤ間の係合力を増大させてビードコアの回転剛性(空気充填時、荷重負荷時および経時変化時等にビードコアに加えられる回転応力に対抗する力)を増大させ、もって、ビード部の耐久性を大幅に向上させる発明が提案されており、この特許文献1の発明を利用すれば、所定の耐久性を確保しつつも、ビードコアをある程度小さくして軽量化を図ること可能となる。   By the way, in Patent Document 1, by optimizing the shape of the bead wire constituting the bead core, the engagement force between adjacent bead wires is increased to increase the rotational rigidity of the bead core (at the time of air filling, load loading, and time-dependent change). For example, an invention has been proposed in which the durability against the rotational stress applied to the bead core is increased and the durability of the bead portion is greatly improved. It is possible to reduce the weight by reducing the bead core to some extent while ensuring the performance.

国際公開第2008/126875号パンフレットInternational Publication No. 2008/126875 Pamphlet

しかしながら、上述のように、特許文献1の発明を利用してビードコアの小型化を図った場合、ビード部の剛性が低下し、操縦安定性が低下するという問題が浮上する。   However, as described above, when the bead core is miniaturized using the invention of Patent Document 1, a problem arises that the rigidity of the bead portion is lowered and the steering stability is lowered.

それゆえ、本発明は、ビードコアを、断面平行四辺形のビードワイヤをタイヤ幅方向に2列以上、タイヤ径方向に2段以上に積み重ねて構成することにより、所定の耐久性を確保しつつ、ビードコアの小型化による軽量化を図った空気入りタイヤにつき、軽量化と操縦安定性の両立を実現することが可能な空気入りタイヤを提供することをその目的とする。   Therefore, the present invention comprises a bead core which is configured by stacking bead wires having a parallelogram cross section in two or more rows in the tire width direction and two or more steps in the tire radial direction, while ensuring a predetermined durability. It is an object of the present invention to provide a pneumatic tire capable of realizing both weight reduction and steering stability with respect to a pneumatic tire that has been reduced in weight by downsizing.

本発明は上記課題を解決するためになされたものであり、本発明の空気入りタイヤは、一対のビード部に各々埋設されたビードコアと、該ビードコア間にトロイダルに延びるカーカス本体部および該カーカス本体部から延び前記ビードコアの周りに内側から外側に折り返されたカーカス折返し部からなるカーカスと、を備え、前記ビードコアが、断面平行四辺形のビードワイヤをタイヤ幅方向に2列以上、タイヤ径方向に2段以上積み重ねてなる空気入りタイヤにおいて、前記ビードコアと前記カーカスとの間に、有機繊維コードをゴム被覆してなる繊維補強層を備えることを特徴とするものである。   The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and a pneumatic tire according to the present invention includes a bead core embedded in each of a pair of bead portions, a carcass main body portion that extends toroidally between the bead cores, and the carcass main body. And a carcass formed of a carcass folded portion that is folded back from the inside to the outside around the bead core. The bead core includes two or more rows of parallel-shaped bead wires in the tire width direction and two in the tire radial direction. In the pneumatic tire formed by stacking more than one stage, a fiber reinforcing layer formed by rubber coating an organic fiber cord is provided between the bead core and the carcass.

なお、本発明の空気入りタイヤにあっては、空気入りタイヤを所定のリムに装着し、所定の内圧を適用した状態において、前記繊維補強層の、タイヤ幅方向でみて内側に位置する端部を、前記カーカスのタイヤ径方向最内側位置を基準に、該カーカスの高さの20〜70%の間に配置してなることが好ましい。ここで所定のリムとは、所定の産業規格に記載されている適用サイズにおける標準リム(または“Approved Rim”、“Recommended Rim”)のことであり、所定の内圧とは同規格に記載されている適用サイズにおける単輪の最大荷重(最大負荷能力)に対応する空気圧のことである。かかる産業規格については、タイヤが生産もしくは使用される地域においてそれぞれ有効な規格が定められており、これらの規格は、例えば、アメリカ合衆国では“The Tire and Rim Association Inc. Year Book”(デザインガイドを含む)により、欧州では、“The European Tire and Rim Technical Organization Standards Manual”により、日本では日本自動車タイヤ協会の“JATMA YEAR BOOK”によりそれぞれ規定されている。   In the pneumatic tire according to the present invention, the end portion of the fiber reinforcing layer positioned on the inner side in the tire width direction in a state where the pneumatic tire is mounted on a predetermined rim and a predetermined internal pressure is applied. Is preferably arranged between 20% and 70% of the height of the carcass with reference to the innermost radial position of the carcass. Here, the predetermined rim is a standard rim (or “Approved Rim”, “Recommended Rim”) in an applicable size described in a predetermined industrial standard, and the predetermined internal pressure is described in the standard. It is the air pressure corresponding to the maximum load (maximum load capacity) of a single wheel at a certain application size. For such industrial standards, there are standards that are valid in each region where tires are produced or used. For example, in the United States, “The Tire and Rim Association Inc. Year Book” (including design guides) ) In Europe according to “The European Tire and Rim Technical Organization Standards Manual” and in Japan according to “JATMA YEAR BOOK” of the Japan Automobile Tire Association.

また、本発明の空気入りタイヤにあっては、空気入りタイヤを所定のリムに装着し、所定の内圧を適用した状態において、前記繊維補強層の両端部をそれぞれ、前記カーカスの折り返し端部よりもタイヤ径方向内側に配置してなることが好ましい。   Further, in the pneumatic tire of the present invention, in a state where the pneumatic tire is mounted on a predetermined rim and a predetermined internal pressure is applied, both end portions of the fiber reinforcing layer are respectively connected to the folded end portions of the carcass. Is also preferably arranged on the inner side in the tire radial direction.

さらに、本発明の空気入りタイヤにあっては、前記空気入りタイヤを所定のリムに装着し、所定の内圧を適用した状態において、前記ビードコアの中心を通りタイヤ幅方向に平行な直線とビード部表面との交点間の距離を、前記リムのビードシートと前記ビード部との接触領域のタイヤ幅方向長さ以下とすることが好ましい。   Furthermore, in the pneumatic tire of the present invention, in a state where the pneumatic tire is mounted on a predetermined rim and a predetermined internal pressure is applied, a straight line and a bead portion that pass through the center of the bead core and are parallel to the tire width direction. The distance between the intersections with the surface is preferably equal to or less than the length in the tire width direction of the contact region between the bead seat of the rim and the bead portion.

しかも、本発明の空気入りタイヤにあっては、前記空気入りタイヤを所定のリムに装着し、所定の内圧を適用した状態において、前記ビード部の外表面が前記リムのリムフランジに接触する点から前記カーカス本体部に対して垂直に引いた直線と前記カーカスとの交点間の距離を、前記ビードコアの中心を通りタイヤ幅方向に平行な直線と前記カーカスとの交点間の距離に対して80%以下とすることが好ましい。   Moreover, in the pneumatic tire of the present invention, the outer surface of the bead portion contacts the rim flange of the rim when the pneumatic tire is mounted on a predetermined rim and a predetermined internal pressure is applied. The distance between the intersection of the carcass and a straight line drawn perpendicularly to the carcass main body is 80 relative to the distance between the intersection of the straight line passing through the center of the bead core and parallel to the tire width direction. % Or less is preferable.

本発明の空気入りタイヤによれば、断面平行四辺形のビードワイヤをタイヤ幅方向に2列以上、タイヤ径方向に2段以上積み重ねてビードコアを構成したことから、隣り合うビードワイヤ間の係合力の増大によりビードコアの回転剛性を増大させることができるので、ビードコアを小型化しても所定のビード部耐久性を確保することができる。また、ビードコアとカーカスとの間に有機繊維コードをゴム被覆してなる繊維補強層を配置したことから、繊維補強層のコードとカーカスのコードとの箍効果によりビード部の剛性を向上させることができ、すなわちタイヤ負荷転動時のケースの変形を抑制することができ、操縦安定性を向上させることができる。   According to the pneumatic tire of the present invention, the bead core is formed by stacking two or more rows of parallelogram-shaped bead wires in the tire width direction and two or more steps in the tire radial direction, thereby increasing the engagement force between adjacent bead wires. As a result, the rotational rigidity of the bead core can be increased. Therefore, even when the bead core is reduced in size, predetermined durability of the bead portion can be ensured. In addition, since the fiber reinforcement layer formed by coating the organic fiber cord with rubber between the bead core and the carcass is disposed, the rigidity of the bead portion can be improved due to the effect of the fiber reinforcement layer cord and the carcass cord. That is, deformation of the case at the time of tire load rolling can be suppressed, and steering stability can be improved.

以下、本発明の実施の形態を図面を参照しつつ詳細に説明する。   Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

図1に示すように、本実施形態の空気入りタイヤ1は、トレッド部3と、その両側に連なる一対のサイドウォール部5およびビード部7とを有する。また、空気入りタイヤ1は、ラジアル配列の少なくとも一枚のカーカスプライからなるカーカス9と、カーカス9のクラウン部のタイヤ径方向外側に配置されたベルト11とを有する。なお、空気入りタイヤ1は、タイヤ赤道面Eの両側で同じ構成を有する。   As shown in FIG. 1, the pneumatic tire 1 of the present embodiment includes a tread portion 3 and a pair of sidewall portions 5 and bead portions 7 that are continuous on both sides thereof. The pneumatic tire 1 includes a carcass 9 made of at least one carcass ply in a radial arrangement, and a belt 11 disposed on the outer side in the tire radial direction of the crown portion of the carcass 9. The pneumatic tire 1 has the same configuration on both sides of the tire equatorial plane E.

カーカス9は、一対のビード部7内に埋設されたビードコア13相互間でトロイダルに延び、トレッド部3、一対のサイドウォール部5および一対のビード部7を補強するカーカス本体部9aと、カーカス本体部9aから延びビードコア13の周りをタイヤ径方向の内側から外側へ折り返されたカーカス折返し部9bとを有する。   The carcass 9 extends toroidally between the bead cores 13 embedded in the pair of bead portions 7, and the carcass main body 9 a that reinforces the tread portion 3, the pair of sidewall portions 5, and the pair of bead portions 7, and the carcass main body A carcass folding portion 9b extending from the portion 9a and folded around the bead core 13 from the inner side to the outer side in the tire radial direction.

ベルト11は、カーカス9の外周側に位置し、トレッド部3を強化する。図示例のベルト11は、各々スチールコードをゴム被覆してなり、互いにスチールコードが交錯するよう配置された2枚のベルト層15、16と、該ベルト層15、16の外周側に配置されたキャップ層17と、狭幅のレイヤー層18とを有してなる。キャップ層17およびレイヤー層18はそれぞれ、有機繊維コードをゴム被覆してなる。   The belt 11 is located on the outer peripheral side of the carcass 9 and reinforces the tread portion 3. The belt 11 in the illustrated example is made of rubber coated steel cords, and is arranged on two belt layers 15 and 16 arranged so that the steel cords cross each other, and on the outer peripheral side of the belt layers 15 and 16. A cap layer 17 and a narrow layer layer 18 are provided. Each of the cap layer 17 and the layer layer 18 is formed by coating an organic fiber cord with rubber.

また、ビードコア13は、図2(a)に拡大して示すように、ビードワイヤ22をタイヤ幅方向に2列以上(ここでは8列)、タイヤ径方向に2段以上(ここでは6段)に積み重ねて構成されてなる。ビードワイヤ22のタイヤ幅方向の断面形状は、一対の鋭角隅部をなす第1鋭角隅部24aおよび第2鋭角隅部24bと、一対の鈍角隅部をなす第1鈍角隅部26aおよび第2鈍角隅部26bとを有する平行四辺形であり、第1鋭角隅部24aは、第2鋭角隅部24bのタイヤ幅方向外側(図2(a)では左方側)であってタイヤ径方向内側(図2(a)では下方側)にあり、第1鈍角隅部26aは、第1鋭角隅部24aのタイヤ幅方向内側(図2(a)では右方側)であってタイヤ径方向外側(図2(a)では上方側)にあり、第2鈍角隅部26bは、第1鋭角隅部24aのタイヤ幅方向内側であり、かつタイヤ径方向において第1鋭角隅部24aと同一位置またはこれより内側にある。したがって、ビードコア13のタイヤ幅方向の断面形状は略四角形に形成されている。ここでいう「ビードコア13のタイヤ幅方向の断面形状」とは、タイヤ幅方向最内側に位置するビードワイヤ22の第2鋭角隅部24bを通る直線n1と、タイヤ幅方向最外側に位置するビードワイヤ22の第1鋭角隅部24aを通る直線n2と、ビードコア13の上面(タイヤ径方向外側の面)に沿う直線n3と、ビードコア13の下面(タイヤ径方向内側の面)に沿う直線n4とで囲まれた形状を指すものとする。また、「略四角形」とは、ビードコア13の、タイヤ幅方向に対向する辺が直線状に延びるもののみならず、図2(a)に示すように、該辺が、積層されるビードワイヤ22間の段差によってジグザグ状に延びるものも含む意味である。このようにビードコア13の、タイヤ幅方向に対向する辺をジグザグ状に形成することで、該辺を直線状に形成する場合と比べて、周囲のゴムとの係合力が高まり、ビードコア13の回転を一層抑制することができる。なお、ビードワイヤ22は、図2(b)に示すように、タイヤ径方向に上下に隣接するビードワイヤ22の第1鋭角隅部24aと第1鈍角隅部26aとが互いに接触するように配置してもよい。   In addition, as shown in an enlarged view in FIG. 2A, the bead core 13 has two or more rows of bead wires 22 in the tire width direction (here, eight rows) and two or more rows in the tire radial direction (here, six rows). It is constructed by stacking. The cross-sectional shape of the bead wire 22 in the tire width direction includes a first acute corner portion 24a and a second acute corner portion 24b that form a pair of acute corner portions, and a first obtuse corner portion 26a and a second obtuse angle that form a pair of obtuse corner portions. The first acute angle corner 24a is the outer side in the tire width direction of the second acute angle corner 24b (the left side in FIG. 2A) and the inner side in the tire radial direction ( The first obtuse corner 26a is on the inner side in the tire width direction of the first acute corner 24a (right side in FIG. 2A) and on the outer side in the tire radial direction (on the lower side in FIG. 2A). The second obtuse corner 26b is located on the inner side in the tire width direction of the first acute corner 24a and at the same position as the first acute corner 24a in the tire radial direction. More inside. Therefore, the cross-sectional shape of the bead core 13 in the tire width direction is formed in a substantially square shape. Here, “the cross-sectional shape of the bead core 13 in the tire width direction” means the straight line n1 passing through the second acute corner 24b of the bead wire 22 located on the innermost side in the tire width direction and the bead wire 22 located on the outermost side in the tire width direction. The straight line n2 passing through the first acute corner 24a, the straight line n3 along the upper surface (the outer surface in the tire radial direction) of the bead core 13, and the straight line n4 along the lower surface (the inner surface in the tire radial direction) of the bead core 13. It shall refer to the shape. In addition, “substantially square” means not only that the side of the bead core 13 facing in the tire width direction extends linearly, but also the side between the bead wires 22 to be laminated as shown in FIG. It also includes the one that extends in a zigzag shape due to the step. In this way, by forming the side of the bead core 13 facing the tire width direction in a zigzag shape, the engagement force with the surrounding rubber is increased compared to the case where the side is formed in a straight line, and the bead core 13 rotates. Can be further suppressed. 2B, the bead wire 22 is arranged so that the first acute corner portion 24a and the first obtuse corner portion 26a of the bead wire 22 adjacent to each other in the tire radial direction are in contact with each other. Also good.

そして、空気入りタイヤ1は、図3に拡大して示すように、ビードコア13とカーカス9との間に、有機繊維コードをゴム被覆してなる少なくとも1枚(ここでは1枚)の繊維補強層28を備える。有機繊維コードとしては、特に限定されるものではなく、例えば、アラミド繊維、ナイロン、ポリエステル、レーヨン等からなるコードを用いることができる。有機繊維コードは、カーカスプライを構成するコードに対して傾斜して配列されるものである。このような配列とすることで、繊維補強層28のコードとカーカス9のコードとの箍効果により、カーカス9の変形を抑制することができるからである。ここでは、繊維補強層28を構成する有機繊維コードは周方向に沿って配列されている。   As shown in an enlarged view in FIG. 3, the pneumatic tire 1 includes at least one (here, one) fiber reinforcing layer formed by rubber coating an organic fiber cord between the bead core 13 and the carcass 9. 28. The organic fiber cord is not particularly limited, and for example, a cord made of aramid fiber, nylon, polyester, rayon or the like can be used. The organic fiber cord is arranged to be inclined with respect to the cord constituting the carcass ply. This is because, by adopting such an arrangement, the deformation of the carcass 9 can be suppressed due to the effect of the wrinkle between the cord of the fiber reinforcement layer 28 and the cord of the carcass 9. Here, the organic fiber cords constituting the fiber reinforcement layer 28 are arranged along the circumferential direction.

このようになる空気入りタイヤ1にあっては、ビードワイヤ22のタイヤ幅方向断面を平行四辺形断面とし、かつタイヤ幅方向に隣接するビードワイヤ22の隣接面を、所定方向に作用する応力(カーカスを引き抜こうとする方向に作用する応力)を伝達し易い方向に互いに向き合わせたことから、隣り合うビードワイヤ22間の係合力の増大によりビードコアの回転剛性を増大させることができるので、ビードコア13を小型化しても所定のビード部耐久性を確保することができる。また、ビードコア13とカーカス9との間に有機繊維コードをゴム被覆してなる繊維補強層28を配置したことから、繊維補強層28のコードとカーカス9のコードとの箍効果によりビード部7の剛性を向上させることができ、すなわちタイヤ負荷転動時のケースの変形を抑制することができ、操縦安定性を向上させることができる。   In the pneumatic tire 1 having such a configuration, the cross section of the bead wire 22 in the tire width direction is a parallelogram cross section, and the adjacent surface of the bead wire 22 adjacent in the tire width direction is subjected to stress (carcass). (Stress acting in the direction of pulling out) is made to face each other in a direction in which it is easy to transmit, so that the rotational rigidity of the bead core can be increased by increasing the engagement force between the adjacent bead wires 22. However, predetermined bead portion durability can be secured. Further, since the fiber reinforcement layer 28 formed by coating the organic fiber cord with rubber between the bead core 13 and the carcass 9 is disposed, the bead portion 7 has a bead effect due to the crease effect between the cord of the fiber reinforcement layer 28 and the cord of the carcass 9. Rigidity can be improved, that is, deformation of the case at the time of tire load rolling can be suppressed, and steering stability can be improved.

なお、本実施形態においては、空気入りタイヤ1を所定のリムに装着し、所定の内圧を適用した内圧充填状態において、繊維補強層28の、タイヤ幅方向でみて内側に位置する端部28aは、カーカス9のタイヤ径方向最内側位置を基準に、該カーカス9の高さH(図1参照)の20〜70%の間に配置している(0.2H≦h≦0.7H)。これによれば、荷重負荷時にプライコード間が開くのを補強層28の箍効果で抑えることができ、タイヤが変形(撓み変形)し難くなり、結果としてケースの剛性を高めることができる。   In the present embodiment, the end portion 28a located on the inner side in the tire width direction of the fiber reinforcing layer 28 in the internal pressure filling state in which the pneumatic tire 1 is mounted on a predetermined rim and a predetermined internal pressure is applied is The carcass 9 is disposed between 20% and 70% of the height H (see FIG. 1) of the carcass 9 with reference to the innermost position in the tire radial direction (0.2H ≦ h ≦ 0.7H). According to this, it is possible to suppress the opening between the ply cords when a load is applied by the heel effect of the reinforcing layer 28, and it becomes difficult for the tire to be deformed (bend deformation), and as a result, the rigidity of the case can be increased.

また、上記内圧充填状態において、繊維補強層28の両端部28a、28bをそれぞれ、カーカス9の折り返し端部よりもタイヤ径方向内側に配置することで、軽量化を図ることができる。   Moreover, in the said internal pressure filling state, the weight reduction can be achieved by arrange | positioning the both ends 28a and 28b of the fiber reinforcement layer 28 to a tire radial direction inner side rather than the folding | turning edge part of the carcass 9, respectively.

さらに、本実施形態においては、図3に示すように、上記内圧充填状態にて、ビードコア13の中心を通りタイヤ幅方向に平行な直線M1とビード部7の表面との交点P1、P2間の距離Aを、リムのビードシートとビード部7との接触領域のタイヤ幅方向長さPよりも小さくまたは同じ(A≦P)としても所望の操縦安定性を確保することができる。   Further, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, between the intersection points P <b> 1 and P <b> 2 between the straight line M <b> 1 passing through the center of the bead core 13 and parallel to the tire width direction and the surface of the bead portion 7 in the internal pressure filling state. Even if the distance A is smaller than or equal to the length P in the tire width direction of the contact area between the bead seat of the rim and the bead portion 7 (A ≦ P), the desired steering stability can be ensured.

しかも、本実施形態においては、上記内圧充填状態において、ビード部7の外表面がリムのリムフランジに接触する点からカーカス本体部9aに対して垂直に引いた直線M2とカーカス9との交点Q1、Q2間の距離aを、ビードコア13の中心を通りタイヤ幅方向に平行な直線M1とカーカス9との交点S1、S2間の距離bに対して80%以下としている(a/b≦0.8)。a/bを0.8以下としても、a/bを0.8超とした場合と比べて操縦安定性が低下しないことから、このようにすることで、軽量化を図ることができる。   Moreover, in the present embodiment, in the internal pressure filling state, the intersection point Q1 of the straight line M2 drawn perpendicularly to the carcass body portion 9a from the point where the outer surface of the bead portion 7 contacts the rim flange of the rim and the carcass 9 The distance a between Q2 is 80% or less with respect to the distance b between the intersections S1 and S2 between the straight line M1 passing through the center of the bead core 13 and parallel to the tire width direction and the carcass 9 (a / b ≦ 0. 8). Even if a / b is set to 0.8 or less, the steering stability does not decrease as compared with the case where a / b is set to more than 0.8. Thus, weight reduction can be achieved.

次いで、本発明にしたがう他の複数の実施の形態について図面を参照して説明する。先の実施形態で示した空気入りタイヤ1と同様の部材には同一の符号を付し、その説明は省略する。   Next, a plurality of other embodiments according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. The same members as those of the pneumatic tire 1 shown in the previous embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof is omitted.

図4〜6に示す実施形態の空気入りタイヤ1は、図1〜3に示した実施形態と同様にビードコア13とカーカス9との間に繊維補強層28を備えているが、この繊維補強層28に加えて他の補助的な繊維補強層を備えている点で図1〜3の実施形態とは異なる。なお、以下で説明する補助繊維補強層を構成するコードは、カーカスプライのコードに対して傾斜して配列されるものである。   The pneumatic tire 1 according to the embodiment shown in FIGS. 4 to 6 includes the fiber reinforcement layer 28 between the bead core 13 and the carcass 9 as in the embodiment shown in FIGS. In addition to 28, it is different from the embodiment shown in FIGS. The cords constituting the auxiliary fiber reinforcing layer described below are arranged to be inclined with respect to the cords of the carcass ply.

すなわち、図4に示す実施形態では、カーカス本体部9aとタイヤ内面(インナーライナ)との間に有機繊維コードをゴム被覆してなる補助繊維補強層30を配置している。この場合、補助繊維補強層30のタイヤ径方向内側の端部30aと、繊維補強層28の、タイヤ幅方向の内側に位置する端部28aとは、タイヤ径方向に互いに重複させることが好ましい。かかる実施形態の空気入りタイヤ1によれば、繊維補強層28に加えて補助繊維補強層30がビード部7を補強するようになるので、ビード部7の剛性をさらに高めることができ、操縦安定性をより一層向上させることができる。また、補助繊維補強層30のタイヤ径方向内側の端部と、繊維補強層28の、タイヤ幅方向の内側に位置する端部28aとは、タイヤ径方向に互いに重複させることで、箍効果が補助繊維補強層30と繊維補強層28とのオーバーラップ分増大させることができる。   That is, in the embodiment shown in FIG. 4, the auxiliary fiber reinforcing layer 30 formed by covering the organic fiber cord with rubber is disposed between the carcass main body portion 9 a and the tire inner surface (inner liner). In this case, it is preferable that the end portion 30a on the inner side in the tire radial direction of the auxiliary fiber reinforcing layer 30 and the end portion 28a on the inner side in the tire width direction of the fiber reinforcing layer 28 overlap each other in the tire radial direction. According to the pneumatic tire 1 of this embodiment, since the auxiliary fiber reinforcing layer 30 reinforces the bead part 7 in addition to the fiber reinforcing layer 28, the rigidity of the bead part 7 can be further increased, and the steering stability is improved. The property can be further improved. Further, the end portion of the auxiliary fiber reinforcing layer 30 on the inner side in the tire radial direction and the end portion 28a of the fiber reinforcing layer 28 located on the inner side in the tire width direction are overlapped with each other in the tire radial direction, so that the wrinkle effect is obtained. The amount of overlap between the auxiliary fiber reinforcing layer 30 and the fiber reinforcing layer 28 can be increased.

また、図5に示す実施形態では、ビードコア13とカーカス9の間の繊維補強層28に加えて、有機繊維コードをゴム被覆してなりカーカス本体部9aの外面(タイヤ幅方向外側の面)に沿って配置された2枚の補助繊維補強層32、33を備えている。これらの繊維補強層28および補助繊維補強層32、33は、互いにタイヤ径方向に離間して配置されている。   Further, in the embodiment shown in FIG. 5, in addition to the fiber reinforcing layer 28 between the bead core 13 and the carcass 9, the outer surface of the carcass main body portion 9a (surface on the outer side in the tire width direction) is formed by rubber coating an organic fiber cord. Two auxiliary fiber reinforcing layers 32 and 33 arranged along the line are provided. The fiber reinforcing layer 28 and the auxiliary fiber reinforcing layers 32 and 33 are arranged apart from each other in the tire radial direction.

さらに、図6に示す実施形態では、繊維補強層28に加えて、カーカス本体部9aの外面(タイヤ幅方向外側の面)に沿って2枚の補助繊維補強層を備えている点は、図5の実施形態の空気入りタイヤ1と同じであるが、本実施形態では、補助繊維補強層35、36は互いに重なり合って配置されている。かかる実施形態の空気入りタイヤ1によれば、補助繊維補強層35、36のオーバーラップ分、箍効果を増大させることができる。   Furthermore, in the embodiment shown in FIG. 6, in addition to the fiber reinforcement layer 28, two auxiliary fiber reinforcement layers are provided along the outer surface of the carcass main body portion 9a (the outer surface in the tire width direction). Although it is the same as the pneumatic tire 1 of 5 embodiment, in this embodiment, the auxiliary fiber reinforcement layers 35 and 36 are arrange | positioned so that it may mutually overlap. According to the pneumatic tire 1 of this embodiment, the wrinkle effect can be increased by the overlapping amount of the auxiliary fiber reinforcing layers 35 and 36.

次いで、供試タイヤとして、従来技術に係る空気入りタイヤ(従来例のタイヤ)、本発明にしたがう空気入りタイヤ(実施例1〜10のタイヤ)、および比較としての空気入りタイヤ(比較例のタイヤ)を試作し、それぞれのタイヤについて性能評価を行ったので、以下説明する。なお、供試タイヤは全て、タイヤサイズが275/80R22.5である。   Next, as a test tire, a pneumatic tire according to the prior art (tire of a conventional example), a pneumatic tire according to the present invention (tires of Examples 1 to 10), and a pneumatic tire as a comparison (tire of a comparative example) ), And the performance of each tire was evaluated. All of the test tires have a tire size of 275 / 80R22.5.

ここで、従来例のタイヤは、丸素線のビードワイヤを周状に巻回して形成した断面略六角形のビードコアをビード部に有するとともに、ビードコアとカーカスとの間に繊維補強層を備えていない。その他の構成は、図1に示す空気入りタイヤと同じである。   Here, the tire of the conventional example has a bead portion with a bead core having a substantially hexagonal cross section formed by winding a round wire bead wire in a circumferential shape, and is not provided with a fiber reinforcing layer between the bead core and the carcass. . Other configurations are the same as those of the pneumatic tire shown in FIG.

実施例1〜10のタイヤは、断面平行四辺形のビードワイヤをタイヤ幅方向に8列、タイヤ径方向に6段積み重ねて構成されるビードコアをビード部に有するとともに、ビードコアとカーカスとの間に有機繊維コードとしてナイロン製のコードをゴム被覆してなる繊維補強層を備えるものであり、その詳細は、表1に示すとおりである。なお、実施例1〜10のタイヤは全て、ビードワイヤの使用量(総重量)を、従来例のタイヤのビードワイヤの使用量(総重量)の78%としている。また、実施例10のタイヤは、繊維補強層に加えて、補助繊維補強層を備えている点で実施例1〜9のタイヤと異なる。また、表1において、「h/H」とは、タイヤを所定のリムに装着し、所定の内圧を適用した状態において、カーカスのタイヤ径方向最内側位置からカーカスのタイヤ径方向最外側位置までの距離Hに対する、カーカスのタイヤ径方向最内側位置から繊維補強層の、タイヤ幅方向でみて内側に位置する端部までの距離hの比率を示すものである。   The tires of Examples 1 to 10 have bead cores formed by stacking eight rows of parallelogram-shaped bead wires in the tire width direction and six stages in the tire radial direction in the bead portion, and organic between the bead core and the carcass. As a fiber cord, a fiber reinforcing layer formed by rubber-coating nylon cord is provided, and the details are as shown in Table 1. In all the tires of Examples 1 to 10, the use amount (total weight) of the bead wire is 78% of the use amount (total weight) of the bead wire of the conventional tire. Moreover, the tire of Example 10 differs from the tires of Examples 1 to 9 in that an auxiliary fiber reinforcement layer is provided in addition to the fiber reinforcement layer. In Table 1, “h / H” means from the innermost position in the tire radial direction of the carcass to the outermost position in the tire radial direction of the carcass in a state where the tire is mounted on a predetermined rim and a predetermined internal pressure is applied. The ratio of the distance h from the innermost position in the tire radial direction of the carcass to the end portion of the fiber reinforcing layer positioned inward in the tire width direction is shown.

Figure 2013100062
Figure 2013100062

比較例1のタイヤは、繊維補強層を有していない点を除いて、実施例4のタイヤと概ね同じ構成を有し、また、ビードワイヤの使用量(総重量)は、従来例のタイヤのビードワイヤの使用量(総重量)の78%である。   The tire of Comparative Example 1 has substantially the same configuration as the tire of Example 4 except that it does not have a fiber reinforcement layer, and the amount of bead wire used (total weight) is the same as that of the conventional tire. It is 78% of the used amount (total weight) of the bead wire.

(ビード部の耐久性の試験)

The durability of the bead portion was evaluated by measuring the travel distance at which the failure occurred in the bead portion. The evaluation results are shown in Table 2. In addition, bead part durability in a table | surface is set as the driving distance of the tire of a conventional example to 100, and represents the driving distance of the tire of Examples 1-10 and the tire of a comparative example by an index, respectively, and the numerical value is The larger the value, the better the durability of the bead part.

(操縦安定性の試験)
上記供試タイヤをサイズ8.25J×22.5のリムに組み付け、テスト車両(2D4トラック)の全軸に装着し、内圧900kPa(相対圧)の下、ドライ路面のテストコースを走行したときのテストドライバーのフィーリングにより操縦安定性を評価した。その評価結果を表2に示す。なお、操縦安定性の評価は5段階とし、数値が大きいほど操縦安定性が良好であることを示す。
(Steering stability test)

表2に示すとおり、本発明の適用により、ビードコアの小型化、すなわちタイヤの軽量化を図りつつもビード部の耐久性を確保できることが分かる。また、ビードコアの小型化を図りつつも操縦安定性を確保できることが分かる。とくに、繊維補強層に加えて補助繊維補強層を有する実施例10のタイヤでは、より一層優れた操縦安定性を示すことがわかる。   As shown in Table 2, it can be seen that application of the present invention can ensure the durability of the bead portion while reducing the size of the bead core, that is, reducing the weight of the tire. It can also be seen that the steering stability can be ensured while the bead core is downsized. In particular, it can be seen that the tire of Example 10 having the auxiliary fiber reinforcing layer in addition to the fiber reinforcing layer exhibits much more excellent steering stability.

かくして、本発明により、ビードコアを、断面平行四辺形のビードワイヤをタイヤ幅方向に2列以上、タイヤ径方向に2段以上に積み重ねて構成することにより、所定の耐久性を確保しつつ、ビードコアの小型化による軽量化を図った空気入りタイヤにつき、軽量化と操縦安定性の両立を実現することが可能な空気入りタイヤを提供することが可能となった。   Thus, according to the present invention, the bead core is configured by stacking two or more rows of parallelogram-shaped bead wires in the tire width direction and two or more steps in the tire radial direction, thereby ensuring a predetermined durability and With regard to a pneumatic tire that has been reduced in weight by downsizing, it has become possible to provide a pneumatic tire capable of realizing both weight reduction and steering stability.
