Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
この発明は、応急用タイヤ、中でもバイアス配列よりなるカーカスを有する、使用内圧の高い狭幅タイプの応急用タイヤに関する。
この応急用タイヤ、即ち応急用タイヤが積まれる車両の車軸に装着されている対象タイヤとの対比で幅は50〜90%と狭く、外径は実質上同一で使用内圧は 175〜250 %と比較的高い応急用タイヤは、幅が狭いことからスペースセーブが可能であること、一般のスペアタイヤと同様の使用が可能であることから、その需要は増大の傾向にある。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
この種の応急用タイヤは、例えば図1に示すように、1対のビードコアー1a及び1bの一方から他方へ連続して延び、かつビードコアー1a及び1bのまわりで、それぞれタイヤの内側から外側へ巻き返した2枚のプライ2及び3を積層配置したカーカス4を骨格とし、このカーカス4のクラウン部の径方向外側に補強層5を介してトレッド6を配置して成る。そして、省資源を実現するために、タイヤの省スペース、軽量化及び低コストの観点から、カーカス4のプライ2と3とのコード間距離、いわゆるゴムゲージtを、通常0.3 mm以下程度にまで薄くしている。
【0003】
ここで、カーカス4のプライ2及び3は、その折返し部7及び8のプライ端部7a及び8aの位置がタイヤ径方向にずれる配置とすることが肝要である。なぜなら、カーカスにおいて最も応力が集中するプライ折返し部の端部と隣接プライの端部とが重複すると、この重複部を起点として容易にセパレーションが発生するためである。
【0004】
そして、折返し部7及び8のプライ端部7a及び8aの位置をタイヤ径方向にずらす際、図1に示したように、タイヤ外側寄りの折返し部7のプライ端部7aをタイヤ内側寄りの折返し部8のプライ端部8aよりもタイヤ径方向外方となる配置とすることが、一般的である。これは、タイヤの製造工程において、カーカスプライをフォーマー上で順次貼り付ける際、作業性の観点から幅広のプライを先に貼ってから幅狭のプライを貼り合わせていたため、製造後にはタイヤ外側寄りの折返し部がタイヤ径方向外方に延びる配置となるのである。
【0005】
この折返し部7のプライ端部8aよりタイヤ径方向外方に延びる部分(以下、延長部分と示す)は、プライ3のビードコアー1a及び1b間に配置したプライ本体30と隣接することになる。ここで、カーカスをバイアス配列プライの2層構造とする場合、2枚のプライ間で補強コードが交差する配置とすることによって、プライ間の剪断歪みを最小にしているが、折返し部7の延長部分とプライ本体30とは、そのコード方向が同じになり、しかもゴムゲージが薄いため、両者間での剪断歪みは大きくなり、セパレーションの起点となる。とりわけ、隣接プライ間でのコード方向が同じであると、各プライに配列したコードがタイヤ製造時の加硫工程において、隣接プライ間で入り乱れる結果、所定のゴムゲージを均等に確保することができずに、この部分に剪断歪みが集中することになる。
【0006】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
そこで、この発明の目的は、2層構造カーカスの隣接プライ間のゴムゲージを薄くした応急用タイヤにおいて、そのカーカスの折返し部に沿って生じる剪断歪みを抑制する、新規なカーカス構造を提案することにある。
【0007】
【課題を解決するための手段】
この発明は、1対のビードコアーの一方から他方へ連続して延び、かつビードコアーのまわりで、それぞれタイヤの内側から外側へ巻き返したバイアス配列プライの2枚を積層配置して成るカーカスをそなえ、該カーカスの隣接プライ間におけるコード間距離が0.3 mm以下である、応急用タイヤであって、カーカスは、タイヤ内側寄りのプライ折返し部の端部を、タイヤ外側寄りのプライ折返し部の端部よりもタイヤ径方向外方に配置して成ることを特徴とする応急用タイヤである。
【0008】
とくに、タイヤ外側寄りのプライ折返し部の端部から、ビードベースを通るタイヤ回転軸と平行の線分に下ろした垂線の長さが、タイヤ断面高さの10〜25%および、タイヤ内側寄りのプライ折返し部の端部から、ビードベースを通るタイヤ回転軸と平行の線分に下ろした垂線の長さが、タイヤ断面高さの30〜45%であることが、実施に当たり有利である。
【0009】
【発明の実施の形態】
さて、図2にこの発明に従う応急用タイヤの断面図を図解した。
このタイヤは、図1に示した応急用タイヤと基本構造を同じくするものである。すなわち、1対のビードコアー1a及び1bの一方から他方へ連続して延び、かつビードコアー1a及び1bのまわりで、それぞれタイヤの内側から外側へ巻き返した2枚のプライ2及び3を積層配置したカーカス4を骨格とし、このカーカス4のクラウン部の径方向外側に補強層5を介してトレッド6を配置して成り、ゴムゲージtをタイヤ軽量化の観点から、0.3 mm以下の厚さに制限している。なお、応急用タイヤは、対象タイヤに比較して走行可能距離は短くてよいため、ゴムゲージtを薄くすることが可能であるが、応急用タイヤとしての耐久性を確保するには、カーカスの総延長の少なくとも70%は0.1 mm以上の厚みに設定することが好ましい。
【0010】
そして、カーカス4は、タイヤ内側寄りの折返し部8の端部8aが、タイヤ外側寄りの折返し部7の端部7aよりもタイヤ径方向外方に配置することが、肝要である。すなわち、タイヤ内側寄りの折返し部8を同外側の折返し部7よりタイヤ径方向外方に延長することによって、まず両折返し部の端部7a及び8aが重複することを回避した上で、折返し部8の延長部がプライ本体30と隣接する配置としたところに特徴がある。この折返し部8とプライ本体30とは、同一プライ3を折り返した際に向かい合う関係にあるから、両者間で補強コードが交差する配置になるのが必然である。従って、在来のカーカス構造で問題となっていた剪断歪みの集中、及び隣接プライ間でのコード配列の混乱をまねくことのない、カーカス構造が与えられるのである。
【0011】
ここで、タイヤ外側寄りの折返し部7の端部7aから、ビードベースを通るタイヤ回転軸と平行の線分Lに下ろした垂線の長さh1 が、タイヤ断面高さHの10〜25%および、タイヤ内側の折返し部8の端部8aから、ビードベースを通るタイヤ回転軸と平行の線分Lに下ろした垂線の長さh2 が、タイヤ断面高さHの30〜45%であることが、好ましい。
【0012】
すなわち、長さh1 がタイヤ断面高さHの10%未満では、ビードコアーにプライを巻き付けることが難しくなり、一方長さh1 がタイヤ断面高さHの25%をこえると、折返し部8の端部8aと折返し部7の端部7aとの間隔が不足して耐久性の確保が難しくなる。また、長さh2 がタイヤ断面高さHの30%未満では、折返し部7の端部7aと折返し部8の端部8aとの間隔が不足して耐久性の確保が難しくなり、一方長さh2 がタイヤ断面高さHの45%をこえると、サイドウォール部のゴム厚が厚くなってタイヤの軽量化を阻害する。
【0013】
なお、この発明の応急用タイヤは、図3に示すように、フラットフォーマー9上にてカーカスのプライを貼付け、成形する際、折返し部がタイヤ外側寄りとなるプライ2、すなわち幅狭のプライ2を、まずフラットフォーマー9上に貼付けてから、これより幅広のプライ3を貼付ければよい。このとき、センサー10及び11にて、プライ端部を予め設定された範囲内に配する様に作業を行うことができるため、作業性が阻害されることはない。
その後、補強層、次いでトレッドゴム、さらに必要な材料を張付け、成形し、グリーンタイヤを得たのち、加硫、硬化させて製品とする。
【0014】
【実施例】
タイヤサイズT135 /90D 16 の場合について、図1及び2に示した構造の応急用タイヤを、表1に示す仕様の下に試作した。次いで、各タイヤについて、1989年度JATMA の「耐久性能試験条件 (1)乗用車用タイヤ」に準拠して耐久性能を評価した。すなわち、故障発生迄の走行時間を測定し、図1のタイヤの走行時間を100 としたときの指数で表示し、その結果を、表1に併記する。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to an emergency tire, in particular, a narrow width type emergency tire having a carcass made of a bias arrangement and having a high use internal pressure.
Compared with this emergency tire, that is, the target tire mounted on the axle of the vehicle on which the emergency tire is loaded, the width is as narrow as 50 to 90%, the outer diameter is substantially the same, and the working internal pressure is 175 to 250%. The relatively high emergency tire has a narrow width and can save space, and can be used in the same manner as a general spare tire. Therefore, the demand for the tire is increasing.
[0002]
[Prior art]
For example, as shown in FIG. 1, this type of emergency tire extends continuously from one to the other of a pair of bead cores 1a and 1b, and rewinds around the bead cores 1a and 1b from the inside to the outside of the tire, respectively. Further, a carcass 4 in which two plies 2 and 3 are laminated is used as a skeleton, and a tread 6 is arranged through a reinforcing layer 5 on the outer side in the radial direction of the crown portion of the carcass 4. In order to save resources, the distance between the cords between the plies 2 and 3 of the carcass 4, that is, the so-called rubber gauge t, is usually thinned to about 0.3 mm or less from the viewpoint of space saving, weight reduction and low cost of the tire. is doing.
[0003]
Here, it is important that the plies 2 and 3 of the carcass 4 are arranged so that the positions of the ply ends 7a and 8a of the folded portions 7 and 8 are shifted in the tire radial direction. This is because if the end portion of the ply turn-up portion where stress is most concentrated in the carcass overlaps with the end portion of the adjacent ply, separation easily occurs from this overlap portion.
[0004]
When the positions of the ply ends 7a and 8a of the turn-back portions 7 and 8 are shifted in the tire radial direction, the ply end portion 7a of the turn-back portion 7 closer to the outer side of the tire is turned back toward the inner side of the tire as shown in FIG. Generally, the arrangement is such that the ply end portion 8a of the portion 8 is located outward in the tire radial direction. This is because, in the tire manufacturing process, when carcass plies are sequentially pasted on the former, a wide ply is pasted first and then a narrow ply is pasted from the viewpoint of workability. This is the arrangement in which the folded portion extends outward in the tire radial direction.
[0005]
A portion extending from the ply end portion 8a of the folded portion 7 outward in the tire radial direction (hereinafter referred to as an extended portion) is adjacent to the ply body 30 disposed between the bead cores 1a and 1b of the ply 3. Here, when the carcass has a two-layer structure of bias arrangement plies, the shearing strain between the plies is minimized by arranging the reinforcing cords to intersect between the two plies. Since the cord direction of the portion and the ply body 30 are the same and the rubber gauge is thin, the shear strain between the two and the ply body 30 becomes large, and becomes a starting point of separation. In particular, if the cord directions between the adjacent plies are the same, the cords arranged in each ply are disturbed between the adjacent plies in the vulcanization process at the time of tire manufacture, so that a predetermined rubber gauge can be secured evenly. Instead, the shear strain concentrates on this part.
[0006]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to propose a novel carcass structure that suppresses shear strain generated along the folded portion of the carcass in an emergency tire in which the rubber gauge between adjacent plies of the two-layer structure carcass is thinned. is there.
[0007]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The present invention includes a carcass formed by laminating two bias arrangement plies that continuously extend from one of the pair of bead cores to the other and that are wound around the bead core from the inside to the outside of the tire, respectively. An emergency tire in which a distance between cords between adjacent plies of a carcass is 0.3 mm or less, and the carcass has an end portion of a ply turn-up portion closer to the inner side of the tire than an end portion of a ply turn-up portion closer to the outer side of the tire. An emergency tire characterized by being arranged outward in the tire radial direction.
[0008]
In particular, the length of a perpendicular line extending from the end of the ply folding portion near the tire outer side to a line parallel to the tire rotation axis passing through the bead base is 10 to 25% of the tire cross-section height and closer to the tire inner side. In practice, it is advantageous that the length of the perpendicular line extending from the end portion of the ply turn-up portion to the line parallel to the tire rotation axis passing through the bead base is 30 to 45% of the tire cross-section height.
[0009]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Now, FIG. 2 illustrates a cross-sectional view of an emergency tire according to the present invention.
This tire has the same basic structure as the emergency tire shown in FIG. That is, a carcass 4 in which two plies 2 and 3 that are continuously extended from one to the other of a pair of bead cores 1a and 1b and wound around the bead cores 1a and 1b from the inside to the outside of the tire are stacked. , And a tread 6 is arranged on the outer side in the radial direction of the crown portion of the carcass 4 via a reinforcing layer 5, and the rubber gauge t is limited to a thickness of 0.3 mm or less from the viewpoint of weight reduction of the tire. . The emergency tire may have a shorter travel distance than the target tire, so the rubber gauge t can be reduced. However, in order to ensure durability as an emergency tire, At least 70% of the extension is preferably set to a thickness of 0.1 mm or more.
[0010]
In the carcass 4, it is important that the end portion 8 a of the turned-up portion 8 near the tire inner side is disposed more outward in the tire radial direction than the end portion 7 a of the turned-up portion 7 closer to the tire outer side. That is, by extending the folded portion 8 closer to the inner side of the tire outward in the tire radial direction than the folded portion 7 on the outer side, first the end portions 7a and 8a of both folded portions are avoided from overlapping. It is characterized in that the eight extension portions are arranged adjacent to the ply body 30. Since the folded portion 8 and the ply main body 30 are in a relationship of facing each other when the same ply 3 is folded, it is inevitable that the reinforcing cords intersect with each other. Therefore, a carcass structure is provided that does not cause the shear strain concentration and the confusion of the code arrangement between adjacent plies, which are problems in the conventional carcass structure.
[0011]
Here, the length h 1 of the perpendicular line extending from the end portion 7a of the folded portion 7 near the tire outer side to the line segment L parallel to the tire rotation axis passing through the bead base is 10 to 25% of the tire cross-section height H. And the length h 2 of the perpendicular drawn from the end portion 8a of the folded portion 8 inside the tire to the line segment L parallel to the tire rotation axis passing through the bead base is 30 to 45% of the tire cross-section height H. It is preferable.
[0012]
That is, when the length h 1 is less than 10% of the tire cross-section height H, it becomes difficult to wrap the ply around the bead core, while when the length h 1 exceeds 25% of the tire cross-section height H, The space between the end portion 8a and the end portion 7a of the folded portion 7 is insufficient, and it becomes difficult to ensure durability. On the other hand, if the length h 2 is less than 30% of the tire cross-section height H, the distance between the end 7a of the folded portion 7 and the end 8a of the folded portion 8 is insufficient, making it difficult to ensure durability. If the length h 2 exceeds 45% of the tire cross-section height H, the rubber thickness of the sidewall portion becomes thick and the weight reduction of the tire is hindered.
[0013]
As shown in FIG. 3, the emergency tire according to the present invention has a ply 2 having a folded portion closer to the outer side of the tire when the carcass ply is pasted and molded on the flat former 9, that is, a narrow ply. 2 is first stuck on the flat former 9 and then a ply 3 wider than this is stuck. At this time, since the work can be performed by the sensors 10 and 11 so that the ply end portion is disposed within a preset range, workability is not hindered.
Thereafter, a reinforcing layer, then tread rubber, and further necessary materials are attached and molded to obtain a green tire, and then vulcanized and cured to obtain a product.
[0014]
【Example】
For the tire size T135 / 90D 16, an emergency tire having the structure shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 was prototyped under the specifications shown in Table 1. Each tire was then evaluated for durability in accordance with JATMA's “Endurance Performance Test Conditions (1) Passenger Car Tires” in FY1989. That is, the running time until the occurrence of the failure is measured and displayed as an index when the running time of the tire in FIG. 1 is set to 100. The results are also shown in Table 1.

【The invention's effect】
According to the present invention, even when the rubber gauge between adjacent plies of a two-layer structure carcass is made thin, shear strain generated along the folded portion of the carcass is suppressed, so that a lightweight emergency tire excellent in durability can be obtained. Can be provided.
