Description

本発明は、1+N構成のゴム補強用スチールコード及びそれを用いた空気入りラジアルタイヤに関し、更に詳しくは、コードとゴムとの間に十分な接着性を確保すると共に、素線同士の接触を少なくし、かつ寸法変化を抑制することを可能にしたゴム補強用スチールコード及びそれを用いた空気入りラジアルタイヤに関する。   The present invention relates to a steel cord for rubber reinforcement having a 1 + N structure and a pneumatic radial tire using the same. More specifically, the present invention secures sufficient adhesion between the cord and rubber and reduces contact between strands. In addition, the present invention relates to a rubber-reinforcing steel cord capable of suppressing dimensional changes and a pneumatic radial tire using the same.

1本の芯素線の外側にN本(例えば、3本〜8本)の側素線を撚り合わせてなる1+N構成のスチールコードのゴム浸透性を改善するために、芯素線に波状又は螺旋状の癖付けを施したり、或いは、芯素線の癖付けに加えてコードを偏平形状にすることが提案されている(例えば、特許文献1参照)。また、ゴム浸透性の確保の観点から、N本の素線を同時に撚り合わせてなる1×N構成のオープン構造の検討も進められている。   In order to improve the rubber permeability of a steel cord having a 1 + N configuration in which N (for example, 3 to 8) side strands are twisted outside one core strand, the core strand is corrugated or It has been proposed to apply a spiral brazing or to flatten the cord in addition to the brazing of the core wire (see, for example, Patent Document 1). Further, from the viewpoint of ensuring rubber permeability, an open structure having a 1 × N configuration in which N strands are simultaneously twisted is also being studied.

しかしながら、従来の1+N構成のスチールコードにおいては、偏平化処理した際に芯素線と側素線との接触を生じ易いため、その素線同士の接触に起因してコードに損傷を生じ易いという問題がある。また、素線同士が接触した状態になると、コード径が大きくなり、ゴムとコードとの複合体からなるシートを成形したとき、そのシートが厚くなり、軽量化の点で不利である。   However, in the conventional steel cord of 1 + N configuration, the contact between the core strand and the side strand is liable to occur when the flattening process is performed, so that the cord is likely to be damaged due to the contact between the strands. There's a problem. Further, when the strands are in contact with each other, the cord diameter increases, and when a sheet made of a composite of rubber and cord is formed, the sheet becomes thick, which is disadvantageous in terms of weight reduction.

一方、1×N構成のオープン構造を有するスチールコードは、ゴム浸透性が良く、素線同士の接触を生じ難いものであるが、オープン構造であるが故に伸びが大きくなる傾向がある。そのため、例えば、1×N構成のオープン構造を有するスチールコードを空気入りラジアルタイヤのベルト層に用いた場合、走行後にタイヤの寸法変化が起き易いという欠点がある。
特開平8−325962号公報
On the other hand, a steel cord having an open structure with a 1 × N configuration has good rubber permeability and is unlikely to cause contact between strands, but tends to increase in elongation due to the open structure. Therefore, for example, when a steel cord having an open structure with a 1 × N configuration is used for the belt layer of a pneumatic radial tire, there is a drawback that the tire is likely to change in dimensions after traveling.
JP-A-8-325962

本発明の目的は、コードとゴムとの間に十分な接着性を確保すると共に、素線同士の接触を少なくし、かつ寸法変化を抑制することを可能にしたゴム補強用スチールコード及びそれを用いた空気入りラジアルタイヤを提供することにある。   An object of the present invention is to secure a sufficient adhesion between a cord and rubber, reduce the contact between the strands, and suppress a dimensional change, and a rubber cord for reinforcing the same The object is to provide a used pneumatic radial tire.

上記目的を達成するための本発明のゴム補強用スチールコードは、螺旋状の癖付けを施した1本の芯素線の外側にN本(N=3〜8)の側素線を撚り合わせて配置し、かつ前記芯素線の外接円及び前記側素線の外接円がそれぞれ楕円形状をなす偏平構造を有するスチールコードにおいて、前記芯素線の素線径dcが前記側素線の素線径dsに対してdc<dsの関係を満足し、前記芯素線の捩じれ方向が前記側素線の撚り方向と同一であり、前記芯素線の癖付けピッチPcが前記側素線の撚りピッチPsに対してPc≧Psの関係を満足し、かつ前記芯素線の癖付けピッチPcが前記側素線の撚りピッチPsに対してPc=n×Psの関係(n:1以上の整数)を満足し、コード偏平方向と直交する方向から見たときに前記芯素線が描く波形の位相と前記側素線が描く波形の位相とが互いにずれていることを特徴とするものである。 In order to achieve the above object, the steel cord for reinforcing rubber according to the present invention is formed by twisting N (N = 3 to 8) side strands on the outside of one core strand which is spirally brazed. And a steel cord having a flat structure in which a circumscribed circle of the core element wire and a circumscribed circle of the side element wire each have an elliptical shape, the element wire diameter dc of the core element wire is an element of the side element wire The relationship of dc <ds with respect to the wire diameter ds is satisfied, the twist direction of the core strand is the same as the twist direction of the side strand, and the brazing pitch Pc of the core strand is the same as that of the side strand The relationship Pc ≧ Ps is satisfied with respect to the twist pitch Ps, and the brazing pitch Pc of the core strand is Pc = n × Ps with respect to the twist pitch Ps of the side strand (n: 1 or more) satisfies an integer), a waveform in which the core wire is drawn when viewed in a direction perpendicular to the cord flattened direction It is characterized in that the waveform in which the side strands and phase draw phase are offset from each other.

また、上記目的を達成するための本発明の空気入りラジアルタイヤは、ベルト層にスチールコードを用いた空気入りラジアルタイヤにおいて、前記スチールコードは、螺旋状の癖付けを施した1本の芯素線の外側にN本(N=3〜8)の側素線を撚り合わせて配置し、かつ前記芯素線の外接円及び前記側素線の外接円がそれぞれ楕円形状をなす偏平構造を有し、前記芯素線の素線径dcが前記側素線の素線径dsに対してdc<dsの関係を満足し、前記芯素線の捩じれ方向が前記側素線の撚り方向と同一であり、前記芯素線の癖付けピッチPcが前記側素線の撚りピッチPsに対してPc≧Psの関係を満足し、かつ前記芯素線の癖付けピッチPcが前記側素線の撚りピッチPsに対してPc=n×Psの関係(n:1以上の整数)を満足し、コード偏平方向と直交する方向から見たときに前記芯素線が描く波形の位相と前記側素線が描く波形の位相とが互いにずれていることを特徴とするものである。 In order to achieve the above object, a pneumatic radial tire according to the present invention is a pneumatic radial tire using a steel cord as a belt layer, wherein the steel cord is a single core element with a helical brazing. N side strands (N = 3 to 8) are twisted and arranged outside the wire, and the circumscribed circle of the core strand and the circumscribed circle of the side strand have an oblate shape, respectively. The strand diameter dc of the core strand satisfies the relationship dc <ds with respect to the strand diameter ds of the side strand, and the twist direction of the core strand is the same as the twist direction of the side strand. The brazing pitch Pc of the core strand satisfies the relationship of Pc ≧ Ps with respect to the twist pitch Ps of the side strand, and the brazing pitch Pc of the core strand is a twist of the side strand. Satisfying the relationship Pc = n × Ps (n is an integer of 1 or more) with respect to the pitch Ps , Is characterized in that said core wire is drawn waveform phase and said side strands drawn waveform phase with each other when viewed from a direction perpendicular to the cord flattened direction.

本発明では、1+N構成の偏平構造を有するスチールコードにおいて、芯素線の素線径dcを側素線の素線径dsよりも小さくし、芯素線の捩じれ方向を側素線の撚り方向と同一とし、芯素線の癖付けピッチPcを側素線の撚りピッチPsと同一又は側素線の撚りピッチPsよりも大きくし、芯素線が描く波形の位相と側素線が描く波形の位相とを互いにずらすことにより、1×N構成のスチールコードと同様のゴム浸透性を確保すると共に、偏平化処理した際の芯素線と側素線との接触を少なくすることができる。従って、スチールコードのゴムに対する接着性を十分に確保しながら、素線同士の接触に起因するコードの損傷を防止し、延いては、コード径を可及的に小さくすることが可能になる。 In the present invention, the direction in the steel cord having a flat structure 1 + N structure, the wire diameter dc of Shinmotosen smaller than wire diameter ds of Side Element Wire, twisting of the side wires of the twisting direction of Shinmotosen And the brazing pitch Pc of the core element wire is equal to or larger than the twist pitch Ps of the side element wire, and the phase of the waveform drawn by the core element wire and the waveform drawn by the side element wire By shifting the phases from each other, it is possible to secure the same rubber permeability as that of the steel cord having the 1 × N configuration and to reduce the contact between the core strand and the side strand when flattening is performed. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent the cord from being damaged due to the contact between the strands while sufficiently securing the adhesiveness of the steel cord to the rubber, and to make the cord diameter as small as possible.

また、側素線の内側には芯素線を配置しているため、1×N構成のスチールコードの欠点である低荷重時での伸びの発生を抑制することができる。そのため、上記スチールコードをゴム製品の補強材として用いた場合、ゴム製品の使用に伴う寸法変化を抑制することができる。特に、上記スチールコードを空気入りラジアルタイヤのベルト層に用いた場合には、タイヤの走行に伴う寸法変化(外径成長)を抑制することができる。   Moreover, since the core strand is arrange | positioned inside the side strand, generation | occurrence | production of the elongation at the time of the low load which is a fault of the steel cord of a 1xN structure can be suppressed. Therefore, when the steel cord is used as a reinforcing material for rubber products, it is possible to suppress dimensional changes associated with the use of rubber products. In particular, when the steel cord is used for a belt layer of a pneumatic radial tire, a dimensional change (outer diameter growth) associated with running of the tire can be suppressed.

本発明において、芯素線の癖付けピッチPcは側素線の撚りピッチPsに対してPc=n×Psの関係(n:1以上の整数)を満足することが必要である。芯素線の癖付けピッチPcと側素線の撚りピッチPsとが上記関係を満足する場合、偏平化処理した時に芯素線と側素線とが重なる頻度が少なくなり、素線同士のフレッティングを効果的に防止することができる。 In the present invention, the brazing pitch Pc of the core strands needs to satisfy the relationship of Pc = n × Ps (n: an integer of 1 or more) with respect to the twisting pitch Ps of the side strands. When the brazing pitch Pc of the core strands and the twist pitch Ps of the side strands satisfy the above relationship, the frequency with which the core strands and the side strands overlap when flattening processing is reduced, and the flapping between the strands is reduced. Can be effectively prevented.

芯素線が描く波形の位相と側素線が描く波形の位相とのコード長手方向のずれ量δは、側素線の本数Nが偶数のとき、δ=Ps/2(N×2)の関係を満足し、側素線の本数Nが奇数のとき、δ=Ps/2(N×4)の関係を満足することが好ましい。これにより、偏平化処理した時に芯素線と側素線とが重なる頻度が少なくなり、素線同士のフレッティングを効果的に防止することができる。   The deviation δ in the longitudinal direction of the cord between the phase of the waveform drawn by the core strand and the phase of the waveform drawn by the side strand is δ = Ps / 2 (N × 2) when the number N of side strands is an even number. When the relationship is satisfied and the number N of side strands is an odd number, it is preferable that the relationship of δ = Ps / 2 (N × 4) is satisfied. Thereby, the frequency with which the core strand and the side strand overlap when flattening is reduced, and fretting of the strands can be effectively prevented.

芯素線の外接円の長径dilは、側素線の本数Nが偶数のとき、側素線の外接円の長径Dlのsin(2π/(N×2))%以下とし、側素線の本数Nが奇数のとき、側素線の外接円の長径Dlのsin(2π/(N×4))%以下とすることが好ましい。即ち、芯素線の外接円の長径dilは、側素線の外接円の長径Dlに対して、下記の関係を満足することが好ましい。これにより、偏平化処理した時に芯素線と側素線とが重なる頻度が少なくなり、素線同士のフレッティングを効果的に防止することができる。
N=3のとき、dil/Dl≦0.50
N=4のとき、dil/Dl≦0.70
N=5のとき、dil/Dl≦0.30
N=6のとき、dil/Dl≦0.50
N=7のとき、dil/Dl≦0.22
N=8のとき、dil/Dl≦0.38
When the number N of the side strands is an even number, the major axis dil of the circumscribed circle of the core strand is set to sin (2π / (N × 2))% or less of the major axis Dl of the circumscribed circle of the side strand. When the number N is an odd number, it is preferable to set it to sin (2π / (N × 4))% or less of the major axis Dl of the circumscribed circle of the side strands. That is, it is preferable that the major axis dil of the circumscribed circle of the core element wire satisfies the following relationship with respect to the major axis Dl of the circumscribed circle of the side element wire. Thereby, the frequency with which the core strand and the side strand overlap when flattening is reduced, and fretting of the strands can be effectively prevented.
When N = 3, dil / Dl ≦ 0.50
Dl / Dl ≦ 0.70 when N = 4
Dl / Dl ≦ 0.30 when N = 5
When N = 6, dir / Dl ≦ 0.50
When N = 7, dil / Dl ≦ 0.22
Dl / Dl ≦ 0.38 when N = 8

本発明のゴム補強用スチールコードは、ベルト層の以外のタイヤ構成部材やコンベヤベルト等のゴム製品の補強材として使用することも可能である。   The steel cord for reinforcing rubber of the present invention can also be used as a reinforcing member for rubber products such as tire constituent members other than belt layers and conveyor belts.

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。   Hereinafter, the configuration of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 11 is a plan view of the steel cord shown in FIG. 9 when viewed from a direction orthogonal to the flat direction, and FIG. 12 is a plan view when the steel cord shown in FIG. 11 is viewed from a direction perpendicular to the flat direction, and FIG. 13 is a steel of 1 + 8 configuration used for the belt layer of the pneumatic radial tire of the present invention. FIG. 14 is a plan view when the steel cord shown in FIG. 13 is viewed from a direction orthogonal to the flattening direction. However, in FIGS. 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, and 14, for easy understanding, one side strand having a phase closest to the phase of the waveform drawn by the core strand. Is indicated by a solid line, and the remaining side strands are indicated by broken lines.

スチールコード10は、螺旋状の癖付けを施した1本の芯素線11の外側にN本(N=3〜8)の側素線12を撚り合わせて配置し、かつ芯素線11の外接円C11及び側素線の外接円C12がそれぞれ楕円形状をなす偏平構造を有している。これら外接円C11,C12は長径方向が互いに一致している。ベルトコードとして、芯素線11の素線径dcは0.10mm〜0.45mmの範囲とし、側素線12の素線径dsは0.20mm〜0.45mmの範囲にすると良い。また、芯素線11の素線径dcと側素線12の素線径dsとの比は、1.00<ds/dc≦4.50の関係にすると良い。 The steel cord 10 is formed by twisting and arranging N (N = 3 to 8) side strands 12 on the outside of one core strand 11 subjected to spiral brazing. The circumscribed circle C11 and the circumscribed circle C12 of the side strands each have a flat structure having an elliptical shape. The circumscribed circles C11 and C12 have the same major axis direction. As the belt cord, the strand diameter dc of the core strand 11 is preferably in the range of 0.10 mm to 0.45 mm, and the strand diameter ds of the side strand 12 is preferably in the range of 0.20 mm to 0.45 mm. Further, the ratio between the strand diameter dc of the core strand 11 and the strand diameter ds of the side strand 12 is preferably 1.00 <ds / dc ≦ 4.50 .

スチールコード10において、芯素線11及び側素線12はいずれも螺旋状に癖付けするものであるが、芯素線11の捩じれ方向は側素線12の撚り方向と同一であり、芯素線11の癖付けピッチPcは側素線12の撚りピッチPsに対してPc≧Psの関係を満足し、しかもコード偏平方向と直交する方向から見たときに芯素線11が描く波形の位相と側素線12が描く波形の位相とが互いにずれている。これにより、撚り合わせ後に偏平化処理した際の芯素線11と側素線12との接触が少なくなる。つまり、芯素線11の捩じれ方向が側素線12の撚り方向と逆である場合、又は、芯素線11の癖付けピッチPcが側素線12の撚りピッチPsよりも小さい場合、偏平化処理した際に芯素線11と側素線12とが互いに接触し易くなる。一方、芯素線11が描く波形の位相と側素線12が描く波形の位相とを互いにずらすことは、芯素線11と側素線12との接触を生じ難くする。なお、芯素線11の癖付けピッチPcを側素線12の撚りピッチPsと同等以上に長くすることは、低荷重域でのコードの伸びを抑制する上でも有利である。   In the steel cord 10, the core element wire 11 and the side element wire 12 are both brazed in a spiral shape, but the twist direction of the core element wire 11 is the same as the twist direction of the side element wire 12. The brazing pitch Pc of the wire 11 satisfies the relationship of Pc ≧ Ps with respect to the twisting pitch Ps of the side wires 12, and the phase of the waveform drawn by the core wire 11 when viewed from the direction orthogonal to the cord flat direction. And the phase of the waveform drawn by the side strand 12 are shifted from each other. Thereby, the contact with the core strand 11 and the side strand 12 at the time of a flattening process after twisting decreases. That is, when the twist direction of the core strand 11 is opposite to the twist direction of the side strand 12, or when the brazing pitch Pc of the core strand 11 is smaller than the twist pitch Ps of the side strand 12, flattening is performed. When processed, the core strand 11 and the side strand 12 are likely to contact each other. On the other hand, shifting the phase of the waveform drawn by the core strand 11 and the phase of the waveform drawn by the side strand 12 makes it difficult for the core strand 11 and the side strand 12 to contact each other. It is advantageous to lengthen the brazing pitch Pc of the core strand 11 to be equal to or greater than the twist pitch Ps of the side strand 12 in order to suppress the elongation of the cord in the low load region.

芯素線11の癖付けピッチPcは側素線12の撚りピッチPsに対してPc=n×Psの関係(n:1以上の整数)を満足するこの場合、スチールコード10を偏平化処理した時に芯素線11と側素線12とが重なる頻度が少なくなり、素線同士のフレッティングを効果的に防止することができる。 The brazing pitch Pc of the core strand 11 satisfies the relationship of Pc = n × Ps (n is an integer of 1 or more) with respect to the twist pitch Ps of the side strand 12 . In this case, when the steel cord 10 is flattened, the frequency with which the core strand 11 and the side strand 12 overlap is reduced, and fretting of the strands can be effectively prevented.

また、芯素線11が描く波形の位相と側素線12が描く波形の位相とのコード長手方向のずれ量δは、側素線12の本数Nが偶数のとき、δ=Ps/2(N×2)の関係を満足し、側素線12の本数Nが奇数のとき、δ=Ps/2(N×4)の関係を満足すると良い。つまり、N=3のとき、δ=Ps/24となり、N=4のとき、δ=Ps/16となり、N=5のとき、δ=Ps/40となり、N=6のとき、δ=Ps/24となり、N=7のとき、δ=Ps/56となり、N=8のとき、δ=Ps/32となる。この場合、スチールコード10を偏平化処理した時に芯素線11と側素線12とが重なる頻度が少なくなり、素線同士のフレッティングを効果的に防止することができる。なお、本発明におけるずれ量δは、スチールコード10を偏平方向と直交する方向から見たとき、芯素線11が描く波形の位相と、芯素線11に対して最も近い位相を有する側素線12が描く波形の位相とのコード長手方向のずれ量である。   Further, the deviation δ in the longitudinal direction of the cord between the phase of the waveform drawn by the core strand 11 and the phase of the waveform drawn by the side strand 12 is δ = Ps / 2 (when the number N of the side strands 12 is an even number. N × 2) is satisfied, and when the number N of side strands 12 is an odd number, it is preferable that the relationship δ = Ps / 2 (N × 4) is satisfied. That is, δ = Ps / 24 when N = 3, δ = Ps / 16 when N = 4, δ = Ps / 40 when N = 5, and δ = Ps when N = 6. / 24, when N = 7, δ = Ps / 56, and when N = 8, δ = Ps / 32. In this case, when the steel cord 10 is flattened, the frequency with which the core strand 11 and the side strand 12 overlap is reduced, and fretting of the strands can be effectively prevented. The shift amount δ in the present invention is the side element having the phase of the waveform drawn by the core element wire 11 and the phase closest to the core element wire 11 when the steel cord 10 is viewed from the direction orthogonal to the flat direction. This is the amount of deviation in the longitudinal direction of the code from the phase of the waveform drawn by the line 12.

上述したスチールコード10によれば、1×N構成のスチールコードと同様のゴム浸透性を確保すると同時に、芯素線11と側素線12との接触を少なくすることができる。従って、ゴムに対する接着性を十分に確保しながら、従来の1+N構成のスチールコードに比べて素線同士の接触に起因するコード損傷を防止し、コード径を可及的に小さくすることが可能になる。コード径を小さくすることはベルト層6を薄くしてタイヤを軽量化する上で有利である。   According to the steel cord 10 described above, it is possible to ensure the same rubber permeability as that of the steel cord having the 1 × N configuration and at the same time reduce the contact between the core strand 11 and the side strand 12. Therefore, while ensuring sufficient adhesion to rubber, it is possible to prevent cord damage caused by contact between strands and to make the cord diameter as small as possible compared to conventional steel cords of 1 + N configuration. Become. Reducing the cord diameter is advantageous in reducing the weight of the tire by making the belt layer 6 thinner.

ここで、芯素線11の外接円C11の短径dis及び長径dil、並びに、側素線12の外接円C12の短径Ds及び長径Dlについて、以下のような関係を満足することが好ましい。   Here, it is preferable that the following relationship is satisfied with respect to the short diameter dis and the long diameter dil of the circumscribed circle C11 of the core element wire 11 and the short diameter Ds and the long diameter Dl of the circumscribed circle C12 of the side element wire 12.

芯素線11の外接円C11の短径disは、芯素線11の素線径dcに対して、dis>dcの関係にすると良い。つまり、dis>dcとすることで3次元の癖付けとする。但し、コードとゴムとの複合体を軽量化するために2.0dc>disを満足することが望ましい。   The short diameter dis of the circumscribed circle C11 of the core element wire 11 is preferably in a relationship of dis> dc with respect to the element wire diameter dc of the core element wire 11. That is, it is set as a three-dimensional brazing by setting dis> dc. However, it is desirable to satisfy 2.0 dc> dis in order to reduce the weight of the composite of the cord and rubber.

側素線12の外接円C12の短径Dsと長径Dlとの比は、Dl/Ds>1.2の関係にすると良い。つまり、Dl/Ds>1.2によりゴム浸透性に優れた偏平構造を規定する。但し、コードのバラケを防止するために1.6>Dl/Dsを満足することが望ましい。   The ratio of the minor axis Ds to the major axis Dl of the circumscribed circle C12 of the side strand 12 is preferably in a relationship of Dl / Ds> 1.2. That is, a flat structure excellent in rubber permeability is defined by Dl / Ds> 1.2. However, it is desirable to satisfy 1.6> Dl / Ds in order to prevent the code from being broken.

芯素線11の外接円C11の長径dilは、側素線12の外接円C12の長径Dlに対して、下記の関係を満足すると良い。これにより、偏平化処理した時に芯素線11と側素線12とが重なる頻度が少なくなり、素線同士のフレッティングを効果的に防止することができる。dil/Dlが上限値を超えると素線同士のフレッティングを防止する効果が低下し、逆に下限値を下回るとゴム浸透性の改善効果が不十分になる。
N=3のとき、1.2dc/Dl≦dil/Dl≦0.50
N=4のとき、1.2dc/Dl≦dil/Dl≦0.70
N=5のとき、1.2dc/Dl≦dil/Dl≦0.30
N=6のとき、1.2dc/Dl≦dil/Dl≦0.50
N=7のとき、1.2dc/Dl≦dil/Dl≦0.22
N=8のとき、1.2dc/Dl≦dil/Dl≦0.38
The major axis dir of the circumscribed circle C11 of the core element wire 11 should satisfy the following relationship with respect to the major axis Dl of the circumscribed circle C12 of the side element wire 12. Thereby, the frequency with which the core strand 11 and the side strand 12 overlap when flattening is reduced, and fretting of the strands can be effectively prevented. When dir / Dl exceeds the upper limit value, the effect of preventing fretting between the strands decreases, and conversely, when the value falls below the lower limit value, the effect of improving rubber permeability becomes insufficient.
When N = 3, 1.2 dc / Dl ≦ dl / Dl ≦ 0.50
When N = 4, 1.2 dc / Dl ≦ dl / Dl ≦ 0.70
When N = 5, 1.2 dc / Dl ≦ dl / Dl ≦ 0.30
When N = 6, 1.2 dc / Dl ≦ dl / Dl ≦ 0.50
When N = 7, 1.2 dc / Dl ≦ dl / Dl ≦ 0.22
When N = 8, 1.2 dc / Dl ≦ di / Dl ≦ 0.38

上述したスチールコード10は、空気入りラジアルタイヤのベルト層6において、その長径方向がベルト層6の面方向と一致するようにコートゴム中に埋設される。そして、このようなスチールコード10をベルト層6に使用した空気入りラジアルタイヤでは、スチールコード10のゴムに対する接着性が良好であり、しかもコード径(側素線12の外接円C12の短径Ds)が小さいためベルト層6を薄くして軽量化が可能である。また、スチールコード10の側素線12の内側には芯素線11が存在するため、タイヤの走行に伴う寸法変化(外径成長)を抑制することができる。   The steel cord 10 described above is embedded in the coated rubber so that the major axis direction of the belt layer 6 of the pneumatic radial tire coincides with the surface direction of the belt layer 6. In a pneumatic radial tire using such a steel cord 10 as the belt layer 6, the steel cord 10 has good adhesion to rubber, and the cord diameter (the short diameter Ds of the circumscribed circle C12 of the side strand 12) ) Is small, the belt layer 6 can be made thin to reduce the weight. Moreover, since the core strand 11 exists inside the side strand 12 of the steel cord 10, the dimensional change (outer diameter growth) accompanying a running | running | working of a tire can be suppressed.

螺旋状の癖付けを施した1本の芯素線の外側に6本の側素線を撚り合わせて配置し、かつ芯素線の外接円及び側素線の外接円がそれぞれ楕円形状をなす1+6構成のスチールコードにおいて、芯素線の捩じれ方向を側素線の撚り方向と同一とし、芯素線の素線径dc、側素線の素線径ds、芯素線の癖付けピッチPc、側素線の撚りピッチPs、芯素線の波形の位相と側素線の波形の位相とのずれ量δ、芯素線の外接円の長径dil及び短径dis、並びに、側素線の外接円の長径Dl及び短径Dsを表1のように種々異ならせた実施例1〜3、参考例1及び比較例1〜4のスチールコードを用意した。対比のため、比較例5として、6本の素線を撚り合わせてなる1×6構成のスチールコードを用意した。 Six side strands are twisted and arranged on the outside of one core strand that has been spirally brazed, and the circumscribed circle of the core strand and the circumscribed circle of the side strand are each elliptical. In a 1 + 6 steel cord, the twisting direction of the core strand is the same as the twisting direction of the side strand, the strand diameter dc of the core strand, the strand diameter ds of the side strand, and the brazing pitch Pc of the core strand , The twisting pitch Ps of the side strands, the amount of deviation δ between the phase of the waveform of the core strands and the waveform of the side strands, the major axis dil and minor axis dis of the circumscribed circle of the core strands, and the side strands Steel cords of Examples 1 to 3, Reference Example 1 and Comparative Examples 1 to 4 in which the major axis Dl and minor axis Ds of the circumscribed circle were varied as shown in Table 1 were prepared. For comparison, a steel cord having a 1 × 6 configuration in which six strands were twisted together was prepared as Comparative Example 5.

これら実施例1〜3、参考例1及び比較例1〜5のスチールコードについて、下記の方法により、ゴム浸透率及び初期伸び率を評価し、その結果を表1に併せて示した。 With respect to the steel cords of Examples 1 to 3, Reference Example 1 and Comparative Examples 1 to 5, the rubber penetration rate and the initial elongation rate were evaluated by the following methods, and the results are also shown in Table 1.

ゴム浸透率:
各スチールコードをゴム被覆してコード当たり10Nの引っ張り荷重を掛けた状態で加硫した後、該スチールを分解し、ゴム浸透率(芯部へのゴム浸透具合)を求めた。ここで、「100%」は芯部まで完全にゴムが浸透している状態を意味する。
Rubber penetration rate:
Each steel cord was covered with rubber and vulcanized in a state where a tensile load of 10 N was applied per cord, and then the steel was disassembled to obtain the rubber penetration rate (the degree of rubber penetration into the core). Here, “100%” means a state in which the rubber has completely penetrated to the core.

初期伸び率:
JIS G3510に準拠して、各スチールコードの初期伸び率(%)を求めた。つまり、各スチールコードに対する引っ張り荷重を徐々に増加させ、そのときの伸び率を測定し、荷重100N時の伸び率と荷重5N時の伸び率との差を求め、これを初期伸び率とした。
Initial elongation:
The initial elongation (%) of each steel cord was determined in accordance with JIS G3510. That is, the tensile load with respect to each steel cord was gradually increased, the elongation at that time was measured, the difference between the elongation at the time of load 100N and the elongation at the time of load 5N was determined, and this was used as the initial elongation.

また、実施例1〜3、参考例1及び比較例1〜5のスチールコードをベルト層に使用した空気入りラジアルタイヤ(タイヤサイズ:11R22.5)を製作し、2万kmのドラム試験後、タイヤからベルト層のスチールコードを取り出し、芯素線と側素線とを分離し、これら素線の表面に生じた傷の量を調べた。評価結果は、傷が全くない場合を「無」で示し、微量の傷が認められる場合を「微」で示し、少量の傷が認められる場合を「少」で示し、少量よりも多い傷が認められる場合を「中」で示し、多量の傷が認められる場合を「多」で示した。 Further, pneumatic radial tires (tire size: 11R22.5) using the steel cords of Examples 1 to 3, Reference Example 1 and Comparative Examples 1 to 5 as belt layers were manufactured, and after a drum test of 20,000 km, The steel cord of the belt layer was taken out from the tire, the core strand and the side strand were separated, and the amount of scratches generated on the surface of these strands was examined. The evaluation results indicate “No” when there is no scratch, “Fine” when a small amount of scratch is observed, “Low” when a small amount of scratch is observed, and more scratches than a small amount. The case where it was recognized was indicated by “medium”, and the case where a large amount of scratches was observed was indicated by “many”.

この表1から明らかなように、実施例1〜のスチールコードは、ゴム浸透率が高く、しかも1×6構成のスチールコード(比較例5)に比べて初期伸び率が小さいものであった。また、実施例1〜のスチールコードをベルト層に用いた空気入りラジアルタイヤは、ドラム試験後のコード表面傷が少ないものであった。 As is apparent from Table 1, the steel cords of Examples 1 to 3 had a high rubber penetration rate, and the initial elongation was smaller than that of the steel cord having a 1 × 6 configuration (Comparative Example 5). . Moreover, the pneumatic radial tire using the steel cords of Examples 1 to 3 as the belt layer had few cord surface scratches after the drum test.

一方、比較例1〜4のスチールコードは、芯素線の波形の位相と側素線の波形の位相とが同じであるため、ゴム浸透率が不十分であり、コード表面傷も多くなっていた。   On the other hand, the steel cords of Comparative Examples 1 to 4 have the same phase of the core wire and the side wire, so that the rubber penetration rate is insufficient and the cord surface scratches are increased. .

次に、螺旋状の癖付けを施した1本の芯素線の外側に6本の側素線を撚り合わせて配置し、かつ芯素線の外接円及び側素線の外接円がそれぞれ楕円形状をなす1+6構成のスチールコードにおいて、芯素線の捩じれ方向を側素線の撚り方向と同一とし、芯素線の素線径dc、側素線の素線径ds、芯素線の癖付けピッチPc、側素線の撚りピッチPs、芯素線の波形の位相と側素線の波形の位相とのずれ量δ、芯素線の外接円の長径dil及び短径dis、並びに、側素線の外接円の長径Dl及び短径Dsを表2のように種々異ならせた実施例5のスチールコードを用意した。対比のため、比較例6として、6本の素線を撚り合わせてなる1×6構成のスチールコードを用意した。   Next, six side element wires are twisted and arranged on the outside of one core element wire that has been spirally brazed, and the circumscribed circle of the core element line and the circumscribed circle of the side element wire are respectively elliptical. In a 1 + 6 steel cord having a shape, the twisting direction of the core strand is the same as the twisting direction of the side strand, the strand diameter dc of the core strand, the strand diameter ds of the side strand, Attaching pitch Pc, twisted pitch Ps of the side strands, deviation δ between the phase of the core strand waveform and the phase of the side strand waveform, the major axis dil and minor axis dis of the circumscribed circle of the core strand, and the side Steel cords of Example 5 were prepared in which the major axis Dl and minor axis Ds of the circumscribed circle of the wire were varied as shown in Table 2. For comparison, a steel cord having a 1 × 6 configuration in which six strands were twisted was prepared as Comparative Example 6.

これら実施例5及び比較例6のスチールコードについて、上述の方法により、ゴム浸透率及び初期伸び率を評価し、その結果を表2に併せて示した。   With respect to the steel cords of Example 5 and Comparative Example 6, the rubber penetration rate and the initial elongation rate were evaluated by the method described above, and the results are also shown in Table 2.

また、実施例5及び比較例6のスチールコードをベルト層に使用した空気入りラジアルタイヤ(タイヤサイズ:11R22.5)を製作し、5万kmの実車走行後、タイヤからベルト層のスチールコードを取り出し、芯素線と側素線とを分離し、これら素線の表面に生じた傷の量を調べた。傷の評価基準は、前述の基準と同じにした。   Also, a pneumatic radial tire (tire size: 11R22.5) using the steel cord of Example 5 and Comparative Example 6 as a belt layer was manufactured, and after running a real vehicle of 50,000 km, the steel cord of the belt layer was applied from the tire. The core strands and the side strands were separated, and the amount of scratches generated on the surfaces of these strands was examined. The evaluation criteria for the scratches were the same as those described above.

更に、実施例5及び比較例6のスチールコードをベルト層に使用した空気入りラジアルタイヤ(タイヤサイズ:11R22.5)を製作し、その外径成長を評価した。即ち、5万kmの実車走行後、溝底でのタイヤ外径を測定し、新品時からの成長量を求めた。評価結果は、比較例6を100とする指数にて示した。この指数値が小さいほど外径成長が少ないことを意味する。   Further, pneumatic radial tires (tire size: 11R22.5) using the steel cords of Example 5 and Comparative Example 6 as the belt layer were manufactured, and the outer diameter growth was evaluated. That is, after running an actual vehicle of 50,000 km, the tire outer diameter at the groove bottom was measured, and the amount of growth from the new article was obtained. The evaluation results are shown as an index with Comparative Example 6 as 100. A smaller index value means less outer diameter growth.

この表2から明らかなように、実施例5のスチールコードは、ゴム浸透率が高く、しかも1×6構成のスチールコード(比較例6)に比べて初期伸び率が小さいものであった。また、実施例5のスチールコードをベルト層に用いた空気入りラジアルタイヤは、走行に伴う外径成長が少なく、しかも実車走行後のコード表面傷が少ないものであった。   As is apparent from Table 2, the steel cord of Example 5 had a high rubber penetration rate, and the initial elongation was smaller than that of a steel cord having a 1 × 6 configuration (Comparative Example 6). In addition, the pneumatic radial tire using the steel cord of Example 5 as the belt layer has little outer diameter growth during running, and less cord surface scratches after running the actual vehicle.

次に、螺旋状の癖付けを施した1本の芯素線の外側に3本、4本、5本、7本又は8本の側素線を撚り合わせて配置し、かつ芯素線の外接円及び側素線の外接円がそれぞれ楕円形状をなす1+N構成のスチールコードにおいて、芯素線の捩じれ方向を側素線の撚り方向と同一とし、芯素線の素線径dc、側素線の素線径ds、芯素線の癖付けピッチPc、側素線の撚りピッチPs、芯素線の波形の位相と側素線の波形の位相とのずれ量δ、芯素線の外接円の長径dil及び短径dis、並びに、側素線の外接円の長径Dl及び短径Dsを表3のように種々異ならせた実施例6〜15のスチールコードを用意した。   Next, three, four, five, seven, or eight side strands are twisted and arranged on the outside of one core strand subjected to spiral brazing, and the core strand In the steel cord of 1 + N configuration in which the circumscribed circle and the circumscribed circle of the side strand are each elliptical, the twist direction of the core strand is the same as the twist direction of the side strand, the strand diameter dc of the core strand, Wire strand diameter ds, core wire brazing pitch Pc, side strand twist pitch Ps, amount of deviation δ between the core wire waveform phase and the side wire waveform phase, core wire circumscribing Steel cords of Examples 6 to 15 were prepared in which the major axis dil and minor axis dis of the circle and the major axis Dl and minor axis Ds of the circumscribed circle of the side strands were varied as shown in Table 3.

これら実施例6〜15のスチールコードについて、上述の方法により、ゴム浸透率及び初期伸び率を評価し、その結果を表3に併せて示した。   With respect to the steel cords of Examples 6 to 15, the rubber penetration rate and the initial elongation rate were evaluated by the method described above, and the results are also shown in Table 3.

また、実施例6〜15のスチールコードをベルト層に使用した空気入りラジアルタイヤ(タイヤサイズ:11R22.5)を製作し、2万kmのドラム試験後、タイヤからベルト層のスチールコードを取り出し、芯素線と側素線とを分離し、これら素線の表面に生じた傷の量を調べた。傷の評価基準は、前述の基準と同じにした。   Further, a pneumatic radial tire (tire size: 11R22.5) using the steel cords of Examples 6 to 15 as the belt layer was manufactured, and after the drum test of 20,000 km, the steel cord of the belt layer was taken out from the tire. The core strand and the side strand were separated, and the amount of scratches generated on the surface of these strands was examined. The evaluation criteria for the scratches were the same as those described above.
