【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、排水性を維持しながら騒音を低減した空気入りタイヤに関し、さらに詳しくは、トレッド部の溝に変形し易い複数本のひげ状の突起を設け、排水時の水の流れを阻害することなく、その溝に起因する気柱共鳴音を低減するようにした空気入りタイヤに関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
近年、車輛の静粛性の向上に伴い、タイヤが発生する騒音の低減が急務になっている。これに対して、トレッド部にタイヤ周方向に延びる主溝や主溝間のリブを横切る横溝を備えた空気入りタイヤでは、接地時に主溝や横溝と地面との間に空気柱が形成され、その空気柱での共鳴振動によって生じる気柱共鳴音が車輛騒音の原因となっている。
【0003】
このような気柱共鳴音の対策として、例えば、トレッド部に形成された主溝や副溝の内壁に、その溝を塞ぐように突出した弾性変形可能なフェンスを配置することが提案されている(例えば、特許文献1参照。)。また、トレッド部に形成された溝の左右両側の側壁にスピューを設けることが提案されている(例えば、特許文献2参照。)。
【0004】
しかしながら、前者にあっては、主溝や副溝を塞ぐフェンスが排水性を阻害するという問題があり、後者にあっては、加硫されたタイヤの離型が困難であるというタイヤ製造時の障害があり、未だこれらを十分に解決する方法が見い出せない状況にある。

【0006】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
本発明の目的は、タイヤ製造上の障害がなく、排水性を維持しながら騒音を低減することを可能にした空気入りタイヤを提供するものである。
【0007】
【課題を解決するための手段】
上記目的を達成するための本発明の空気入りタイヤは、タイヤ接地時に、トレッド部の溝と地面との間に、少なくとも1つの開口端を持つ空気柱を形成する空気入りタイヤにおいて、前記溝内に溝底側からタイヤ径方向に延びる2本以上のひげ状の突起を溝幅方向に配置してなる複数列の突起列を設け、少なくとも2列の前記突起列が溝長さ方向に隣り合って突起集合部を形成し、該突起集合部の溝横断面への投影面積が前記溝の横断面積の50%以上を占めるように該突起集合部を構成する突起列を溝幅方向に互いにずらして配置したことを特徴とするものである。
【0008】
このように溝内に2本以上のひげ状の突起を含む複数列の突起列を設け、少なくとも2列の突起列が溝長さ方向に隣り合って突起集合部を形成し、該突起集合部を構成する突起列を溝幅方向に互いにずらして配置することで突起集合部の溝横断面への投影面積を可及的に大きくすることにより、気柱共鳴音の発生を抑制し、騒音を低減することができる。
【0009】
また、上記突起はひげ状であるため水の通過によって弾性変形し易く、しかも突起集合部における各突起列の溝横断面への投影面積は小さく設定することが可能であるので、上記のように突起集合部によって騒音低減効果を得るに際して、ウエット路面走行時の排水性を損なうことはない。各突起列の溝横断面への投影面積は溝の横断面積の50%以下であることが好ましい。更に、上記突起は溝底側からタイヤ径方向に延びているので、加硫されたタイヤの離型が容易であり、タイヤ製造時の障害を伴うこともない。
【0010】
突起集合部を備える各溝において、接地面内に現れる突起集合部は1つ以下にすることが好ましい。これにより、溝内に閉じ込められた空気による騒音の発生を回避することができる。
【0011】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明の構成について添付の図面を参照しながら詳細に説明する。
【0012】
図1は、本発明の実施形態からなる空気入りタイヤを示すものであり、1はトレッド部、2はサイドウォール部、3はビード部、CLはタイヤセンターラインである。
【0013】
左右のビード部3間にカーカス層4が装架され、その両端部4aがビード部3に埋設されたビ−ドコア5の周りにビードフィラー6を挟み込むようにしてタイヤ内側から外側に折り返されている。トレッド部1におけるカーカス層4の外周側には、複数のベルト層7が配置されている。このトレッド部1には、タイヤ周方向に延びる主溝や主溝間のリブを横切る横溝を含む溝8が形成されている。タイヤ接地時において、トレッド部1の溝8と地面との間には、少なくとも1つの開口端を持つ空気柱が形成される。これら溝8には、後述する突起集合部11が形成されている。
【0014】
図2〜図4は、突起集合部を示すものである。これら図2〜図4に示すように、溝8内には溝底側からタイヤ径方向に延びる2本以上のひげ状の突起9を溝幅方向に配置してなる複数列の突起列10が形成されている。つまり、各突起列10は溝幅方向に並ぶ2本以上の突起9を備えている。
【0015】
突起9は、図5(a)〜(d)に示すように、角柱、円柱、角錐又は円錐等の形状を含むひげ状に成形されている。ゴムからなる突起9は可撓性を有し、溝8の中で自由に変形することができる。また、突起9は溝8の底側からタイヤ径方向に延びているため、タイヤ製造時にあっては、加硫されたタイヤを離型するに際して障害になることはない。
【0016】
突起集合部11は、溝長さ方向に隣り合う少なくとも2列の突起列10から構成されている。突起集合部11において、隣り合う突起列10の間隔は1mm〜5mmに設定される。図2〜図4では、突起集合部11が2列の突起列10から構成される場合を示しているが、突起集合部11における突起列10の数は2列以上であれば特に限定されるものではない。例えば、2〜4列にすると良い。
【0017】
突起集合部11を構成する突起列10は、溝幅方向に互いにずらして配置されている。その結果として、突起集合部11の溝8の横断面への投影面積は、溝8の横断面積の50%以上を占めるように調整されている。但し、各突起列10の溝8の横断面への投影面積は、溝8の横断面積の50%以下であることが好ましい。
【0018】
このように溝8内に2本以上のひげ状の突起9を含む複数列の突起列10を設け、少なくとも2列の突起列10が溝長さ方向に隣り合って突起集合部11を形成し、突起集合部11を構成する突起列10を溝幅方向に互いにずらして配置し、突起集合部11の溝8の横断面への投影面積を可及的に大きくすることにより、溝8内の空気柱における振動の伝達が遮断されるので、気柱共鳴音の発生を抑制し、騒音を低減することができる。
【0019】
上記突起9は、ひげ状であるため水の通過によって弾性変形し、ウエット路面走行時の排水性を損なうことはない。特に、突起集合部11における各突起列10の溝横断面への投影面積を溝8の横断面積の50%以下に設定することにより、ウエット路面走行時の排水性をより確実に確保することができる。
【0020】
突起集合部11を備える各溝8において、接地面内に現れる突起集合部11は1つ以下にすることが好ましい。例えば、図6に示すように、トレッド部1にタイヤ周方向に延びる複数本の主溝8a及びタイヤ幅方向に延びる複数本の横溝8bを備える場合、各主溝8a及び各横溝8bにおいて、タイヤが接地した際の接地面Xに現れる突起集合部11は1つ以下にすると良い。1つの溝8において、2つ以上の突起集合部11が接地面内に現れると、それら突起集合部11によって溝8内に閉塞空間が形成され、そこに閉じ込められた空気が騒音の原因となることがある。なお、本発明における接地面とは、タイヤに正規空気圧を充填して正規荷重を負荷した状態での接地面をいう。
【0021】
本発明において、突起集合部を設ける溝はタイヤ接地時に地面との間に少なくとも1つの開口端を持つ空気柱を形成するものであれば、特に限定されることはなく、例えば、タイヤ周方向に延びる主溝やタイヤ幅方向に延びる横溝を包含するものである。突起集合部は少なくとも主溝に設けることが好ましいが、主溝と横溝の両方に設けても良く、或いは横溝だけに設けても良い。
【0022】
【実施例】
トレッド面に4本の周方向主溝を有するラジアルタイヤ(タイヤサイズ:215/70R17.5)において、各主溝に突起集合部を設け、その構成を表1のように種々異ならせた実施例1,2及び比較例1,2をそれぞれ作製した。更に比較のために、各主溝に突起を設けていない従来例と、実施例1における突起集合部を板状のフェンスに置き換えた比較例3とを作製した。
【0023】
これら試験タイヤについて、以下に示す試験方法により、単体騒音及びウエット制動性能の評価試験を行い、その結果を表1に併せて示した。
【0024】
単体騒音:
JASO C−606−81に準拠した測定法により、速度50km/hの条件で騒音を測定した。測定時の他の条件は以下の通りである。空気圧:775kPa、荷重:15.20kN、リムサイズ:17.5×6.00(2002年度JATMAイヤーブック 3−05 C01−2の記載条件)評価結果は、従来例を基準とし、その基準値に対する差(dB)にて示した。この値がマイナスであれば騒音が小さいことを意味する。
【0025】
ウエット制動性能:
試験タイヤを車輛に装着し、空気圧775kPaとして、ウエット路面を速度50km/hでの走行状態からブレーキをかけて制動距離を測定した。評価結果は、測定値の逆数を用い、従来例を100とする指数にて示した。この指数値が大きいほどウエット制動性能が優れていることを意味する。
【0026】

この表1から判るように、実施例1,2のタイヤはいずれもウエット制動性能を損なうことなく騒音を低減することができた。これに対して、比較例1のタイヤでは騒音の低減効果が得られず、比較例2,3のタイヤではウエット制動性能が低下していた。
【0028】
【発明の効果】
上述したように本発明は、トレッド部の溝内に溝底側からタイヤ径方向に延びる2本以上のひげ状の突起を溝幅方向に配置してなる複数列の突起列を設け、少なくとも2列の前記突起列が溝長さ方向に隣り合って突起集合部を形成し、該突起集合部の溝横断面への投影面積が前記溝の横断面積の50%以上を占めるように該突起集合部を構成する突起列を溝幅方向に互いにずらして配置したから、タイヤ製造上の障害がなく、かつ排水性を維持しながら気柱共鳴音の発生を抑制することができる。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a pneumatic tire that reduces noise while maintaining drainage, and more specifically, a plurality of beard-like protrusions that are easily deformed are provided in a groove of a tread portion to inhibit water flow during drainage. The present invention relates to a pneumatic tire that reduces air column resonance caused by the groove.
[0002]
[Prior art]
In recent years, with the improvement of the quietness of vehicles, there is an urgent need to reduce the noise generated by tires. On the other hand, in a pneumatic tire having a main groove extending in the tire circumferential direction in the tread portion and a horizontal groove crossing the rib between the main grooves, an air column is formed between the main groove and the horizontal groove and the ground at the time of ground contact, Air column resonance generated by resonance vibration in the air column causes vehicle noise.
[0003]
As a countermeasure against such air column resonance noise, for example, it has been proposed to dispose an elastically deformable fence that protrudes so as to close the groove on the inner wall of the main groove or the sub groove formed in the tread portion. (For example, refer to Patent Document 1). In addition, it has been proposed to provide spews on the left and right side walls of the groove formed in the tread portion (see, for example, Patent Document 2).
[0004]
However, in the former, there is a problem that the fence that closes the main groove and the sub-groove hinders drainage, and in the latter, it is difficult to release the vulcanized tire at the time of tire manufacture. There are obstacles and we are still unable to find a way to solve these problems.
[0005]

Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 9-58217 [Patent Document 2]
JP-A-9-2020 [0006]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
An object of the present invention is to provide a pneumatic tire that has no obstacle in manufacturing the tire and can reduce noise while maintaining drainage.
[0007]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to achieve the above object, a pneumatic tire according to the present invention is a pneumatic tire in which an air column having at least one open end is formed between a groove of a tread portion and the ground at the time of tire contact. Provided with a plurality of rows of protrusions in which two or more whisker-like protrusions extending in the tire radial direction from the groove bottom side are arranged in the groove width direction, and at least two of the protrusion rows are adjacent to each other in the groove length direction. The projection rows forming the projection assembly portion are shifted in the groove width direction so that the projected area of the projection assembly portion on the groove cross-section occupies 50% or more of the cross-sectional area of the groove. It is characterized by having been arranged.
[0008]
In this way, a plurality of rows of projections including two or more whisker-like projections are provided in the groove, and at least two rows of projections are adjacent to each other in the groove length direction to form a projection assembly portion. By arranging the projection rows constituting the projections to be shifted from each other in the groove width direction, the projection area onto the groove cross section of the projection assembly is made as large as possible, thereby suppressing the generation of air column resonance noise and noise. Can be reduced.
[0009]
In addition, since the protrusion is beard-like, it is easily elastically deformed by the passage of water, and the projected area of each protrusion row on the groove cross-section in the protrusion assembly portion can be set small. When the noise reduction effect is obtained by the projection gathering portion, the drainage performance during wet road running is not impaired. It is preferable that the projected area of each projection row on the cross section of the groove is 50% or less of the cross sectional area of the groove. Furthermore, since the protrusion extends in the tire radial direction from the groove bottom side, the vulcanized tire can be easily released, and there is no obstacle in manufacturing the tire.
[0010]
In each groove provided with the protrusion aggregation portion, it is preferable that the number of the protrusion aggregation portion appearing in the ground plane is one or less. Thereby, generation | occurrence | production of the noise by the air confined in the groove | channel can be avoided.
[0011]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, the configuration of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0012]
FIG. 1 shows a pneumatic tire according to an embodiment of the present invention, wherein 1 is a tread portion, 2 is a sidewall portion, 3 is a bead portion, and CL is a tire center line.
[0013]
The carcass layer 4 is mounted between the left and right bead portions 3, and both end portions 4 a are folded back from the inside of the tire to the outside so as to sandwich the bead filler 6 around the bead core 5 embedded in the bead portion 3. Yes. A plurality of belt layers 7 are arranged on the outer peripheral side of the carcass layer 4 in the tread portion 1. The tread portion 1 is formed with a groove 8 including a main groove extending in the tire circumferential direction and a transverse groove crossing a rib between the main grooves. At the time of tire contact, an air column having at least one open end is formed between the groove 8 of the tread portion 1 and the ground. In these grooves 8, projection assembly portions 11 to be described later are formed.
[0014]
2 to 4 show the protrusion assembly portion. As shown in FIG. 2 to FIG. 4, in the groove 8, a plurality of protrusion rows 10 are formed by arranging two or more whisker-like protrusions 9 extending in the tire radial direction from the groove bottom side in the groove width direction. Is formed. That is, each protrusion row 10 includes two or more protrusions 9 arranged in the groove width direction.
[0015]
As illustrated in FIGS. 5A to 5D, the protrusion 9 is formed into a whisker shape including a prism, a cylinder, a pyramid, a cone, or the like. The rubber protrusion 9 has flexibility and can be freely deformed in the groove 8. Further, since the protrusion 9 extends in the tire radial direction from the bottom side of the groove 8, it does not become an obstacle when releasing the vulcanized tire when manufacturing the tire.
[0016]
The protrusion assembly portion 11 includes at least two protrusion rows 10 adjacent in the groove length direction. In the protrusion assembly portion 11, the interval between adjacent protrusion rows 10 is set to 1 mm to 5 mm. 2 to 4 show a case in which the protrusion assembly portion 11 is composed of two protrusion arrays 10, but the number of protrusion arrays 10 in the protrusion assembly section 11 is particularly limited as long as it is two or more. It is not a thing. For example, it is good to make 2-4 rows.
[0017]
The protrusion rows 10 constituting the protrusion assembly portion 11 are arranged so as to be shifted from each other in the groove width direction. As a result, the projected area of the projection assembly 11 on the cross section of the groove 8 is adjusted to occupy 50% or more of the cross sectional area of the groove 8. However, the projected area of each projection row 10 on the cross section of the groove 8 is preferably 50% or less of the transverse area of the groove 8.
[0018]
In this manner, a plurality of rows of projection rows 10 including two or more whisker-like projections 9 are provided in the groove 8, and at least two rows of projection rows 10 are adjacent to each other in the groove length direction to form a projection assembly portion 11. The protrusion rows 10 constituting the protrusion assembly portion 11 are arranged so as to be shifted from each other in the groove width direction, and the projected area of the protrusion assembly portion 11 onto the cross section of the groove 8 is made as large as possible. Since vibration transmission in the air column is interrupted, generation of air column resonance can be suppressed and noise can be reduced.
[0019]
Since the protrusion 9 has a whisker shape, it is elastically deformed by the passage of water and does not impair the drainage performance when traveling on a wet road surface. In particular, by setting the projected area of each projection row 10 in the projection assembly portion 11 to the groove cross-section to be 50% or less of the cross-sectional area of the groove 8, it is possible to more reliably ensure drainage during running on a wet road surface. it can.
[0020]
In each of the grooves 8 including the protrusion collecting portion 11, it is preferable that the number of the protrusion collecting portions 11 appearing in the ground contact surface is one or less. For example, as shown in FIG. 6, when the tread portion 1 includes a plurality of main grooves 8 a extending in the tire circumferential direction and a plurality of lateral grooves 8 b extending in the tire width direction, the tires in the respective main grooves 8 a and the respective horizontal grooves 8 b It is preferable that the number of the protrusion aggregate portions 11 appearing on the grounding surface X at the time of grounding is one or less. When two or more protrusion aggregate portions 11 appear in the ground plane in one groove 8, a closed space is formed in the groove 8 by the protrusion aggregate portions 11, and the air trapped therein causes noise. Sometimes. The contact surface in the present invention refers to a contact surface in a state where a normal load is applied to a tire and a normal load is applied.
[0021]
In the present invention, the groove for providing the projection assembly portion is not particularly limited as long as it forms an air column having at least one open end with the ground when the tire contacts the ground. For example, in the tire circumferential direction It includes a main groove extending and a lateral groove extending in the tire width direction. The protrusion assembly portion is preferably provided at least in the main groove, but may be provided in both the main groove and the lateral groove, or may be provided only in the lateral groove.
[0022]
【Example】
In a radial tire having four circumferential main grooves on the tread surface (tire size: 215 / 70R17.5), each main groove is provided with a protrusion assembly portion, and the configuration thereof is varied as shown in Table 1. 1 and 2 and Comparative Examples 1 and 2 were prepared. Further, for comparison, a conventional example in which no protrusion was provided in each main groove and Comparative Example 3 in which the protrusion assembly portion in Example 1 was replaced with a plate-like fence were produced.
[0023]
These test tires were subjected to evaluation tests for single noise and wet braking performance by the following test methods, and the results are also shown in Table 1.
[0024]
Single unit noise:
Noise was measured at a speed of 50 km / h by a measurement method based on JASO C-606-81. Other conditions at the time of measurement are as follows. Air pressure: 775 kPa, load: 15.20 kN, rim size: 17.5 × 6.00 (2002 JATMA Yearbook 3-05 C01-2 description conditions) Evaluation results are based on the conventional example, and the difference from the standard value (DB). If this value is negative, it means that noise is low.
[0025]
Wet braking performance:
The test tire was mounted on the vehicle, the air pressure was set to 775 kPa, and the braking distance was measured by applying a brake from the running state on the wet road surface at a speed of 50 km / h. The evaluation results are shown as an index with the conventional example being 100, using the reciprocal of the measured value. A larger index value means better wet braking performance.
[0026]
[Table 1]
Figure 0003970160
[0027]
As can be seen from Table 1, the tires of Examples 1 and 2 were able to reduce noise without impairing the wet braking performance. On the other hand, the noise reduction effect was not obtained with the tire of Comparative Example 1, and the wet braking performance was lowered with the tires of Comparative Examples 2 and 3.
[0028]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, the present invention provides a plurality of protrusion rows in which two or more whisker-like protrusions extending in the tire radial direction from the groove bottom side are arranged in the groove width direction in the groove of the tread portion, and at least 2 The projection rows of the rows are adjacent to each other in the groove length direction to form a projection collection portion, and the projection collection portion occupies 50% or more of the cross-sectional area of the groove. Since the row of protrusions constituting the portion is arranged so as to be shifted from each other in the groove width direction, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of air column resonance noise while maintaining the drainage without causing any obstacle in manufacturing the tire.
