Description

本発明は、台タイヤ及びタイヤの製造方法に関し、特に外観に優れた台タイヤ及び当該台タイヤを含むタイヤを製造することが可能な発明に関する。   The present invention relates to a base tire and a tire manufacturing method, and particularly to a base tire excellent in appearance and an invention capable of manufacturing a tire including the base tire.

従来、タイヤの土台となる台タイヤと、当該台タイヤの外周面に配置され、路面と接地するタイヤトレッドとを一体化する更生タイヤの製造方法としては、加硫済みのタイヤ(新品台タイヤ又は、使用済みタイヤ)の外周面とタイヤトレッドの内周面とをバフ掛けし、バフ掛け後のバフ掛け面に未加硫ゴムを配置した後に、当該未加硫ゴムを介してタイヤトレッドを載置し、加硫缶と呼ばれる加硫装置内に投入することにより、台タイヤとタイヤトレッドとが一体化された最終製品としてのタイヤを得る方法が知られている。
当該製造方法における未加硫ゴムは、台タイヤとタイヤトレッドとの接着性を十分に担保する必要性から、台タイヤのバフ掛け面の幅方向よりも広くなるように配置され、配置された状態の未加硫ゴムの幅方向端部は、台タイヤのショルダー部近傍まで延在し、タイヤの外観を損ねる要因となっている。
例えば、特許文献1には、タイヤの美観を損ねる要因となる未加硫ゴムの幅方向端部をタイヤのショルダー部において特殊な切削工具を用いて削り取る製造方法が開示されているが、加硫中に溶融する未加硫ゴムは、そのゴムの物性等によってショルダー部に留まらず、タイヤのサイド部に至るまで流下する可能性があり、流下したままの未加硫ゴムが加硫されるとタイヤの円周方向に沿って波打ちした状態で定着することや、バフ掛け面の幅方向端部の一部が露出する状態となり、最終製品としてのタイヤの外観を損ねる要因となる。

The unvulcanized rubber in the manufacturing method is disposed and disposed so as to be wider than the width direction of the buffing surface of the base tire from the necessity of sufficiently ensuring the adhesion between the base tire and the tire tread. The end portion in the width direction of the unvulcanized rubber extends to the vicinity of the shoulder portion of the base tire, which is a factor that impairs the appearance of the tire.
For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a manufacturing method in which an end portion in the width direction of unvulcanized rubber, which is a factor that impairs the appearance of a tire, is scraped off using a special cutting tool at a shoulder portion of the tire. The unvulcanized rubber that melts inside does not stay in the shoulder due to the physical properties of the rubber, etc., and may flow down to the side of the tire, and when the unvulcanized rubber that has flowed down is vulcanized Fixing in a state of undulation along the circumferential direction of the tire or a state in which a part of the end portion in the width direction of the buffing surface is exposed, which is a factor that impairs the appearance of the tire as a final product.

FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view of a vulcanized tire 1 that is newly vulcanized and molded by a mold not shown. The structure and buffing of the vulcanized tire 1 will be described in detail with reference to FIG.
In FIG. 1, a vulcanized tire 1 is roughly composed of a bead core 2, a carcass 3, a bead filler 4, an inner liner 5, and a belt 6.
The bead core 2 is an aggregate of steel cords formed in an annular shape, and is a pair of members provided separately in the width direction of the vulcanized tire 1. A carcass 3 extending in a toroidal shape is provided between the pair of bead cores 2 so as to straddle the bead cores 2 to form a skeleton of the base tire 1A.
The bead filler 4 is a hard rubber positioned radially outward from the bead core 2 and is inserted so as to be sandwiched by the carcass 3 folded around the bead core 2. The bead filler 4 is not necessarily inserted, and the presence or absence thereof is appropriately selected according to the required tire performance. The inner liner 5 is a rubber layer located in the innermost layer of the vulcanized tire 1 and holds air supplied to the inside. The belt 6 is a member that is laminated radially outward in the crown portion Tc of the vulcanized tire 1, suppresses protrusion due to rotation of the tire, and exhibits a tagging effect during traveling of the vehicle.

同図における加硫済みタイヤ1において、ビードコア2及びビードフィラー4が存在する領域をビードTbと称し、ビードTbよりも半径方向外側の領域をタイヤサイド部Tsと称し、加硫済みタイヤ1の幅方向に延長し、内部にベルト6を有する領域をクラウン部Tcと称し、タイヤサイド部Ts及びクラウン部Tcが交わる領域をショルダー部Thと称する。なお、上記各領域の範囲、寸法は加硫済みタイヤ1の種別、サイズ等によって異なるものであり、これに限られるものではない。   In the vulcanized tire 1 in the figure, a region where the bead core 2 and the bead filler 4 are present is referred to as a bead Tb, a region radially outward from the bead Tb is referred to as a tire side portion Ts, and the width of the vulcanized tire 1 is illustrated. A region extending in the direction and having the belt 6 therein is referred to as a crown portion Tc, and a region where the tire side portion Ts and the crown portion Tc intersect is referred to as a shoulder portion Th. In addition, the range and dimension of each said area | region differ with types, sizes, etc. of the vulcanized tire 1, and are not restricted to this.

加硫済みタイヤ1における円周方向外周面であるクラウン部Tc及びショルダー部Thの表面A(バフ代)は、モールドから脱型された状態において所謂トレッドパターンを有しない平滑な面であって、当該表面Aが、図外のバフ掛け装置によって切削されることにより、仮想線で示すトレッド貼付け面B及び凹部Cを有する台タイヤ1Aとして成形される。   The surface A (buff margin) of the crown portion Tc and the shoulder portion Th that are circumferential outer peripheral surfaces in the vulcanized tire 1 is a smooth surface that does not have a so-called tread pattern in a state where it is removed from the mold, When the surface A is cut by a buffing device (not shown), the tire A is formed as a base tire 1A having a tread application surface B and a recess C indicated by phantom lines.

クラウン部Tc及びショルダー部Thのバフ掛けは、回転自在に固定された加硫済みタイヤ1を所定の速度で回転させつつ、バフ掛け装置の切削機構に対してクラウン部Tc及びショルダー部Thの表面Aを押圧することにより行う。
表面Aの切削は、クラウン部Tcの幅方向に沿って延長する予め設定されたバフライン(湾曲形状)が得られるように行われ、所定のバフラインを有するトレッド貼付け面Bが台タイヤ1Aの円周方向外周面に沿って均一に形成される。バフ掛け完了後のトレッド貼付け面Bは、未加硫ゴムが定着し易い目粗しされた状態であって、クラウン部Tcの幅方向全域を含み、ショルダー部Thの略中間部まで及ぶ。つまり、本例におけるトレッド貼付け面Bの両端に位置する幅方向端部Beは、ショルダー部Thにおいて終端する。
なお、トレッド貼付け面Bのバフライン、或いは、幅方向の範囲はタイヤのサイズ、要求される性能等に適宜決定すれば良く、例えばトレッド貼付け面Bの両端の幅方向端部Beを図示におけるものよりもクラウン部Tc側又はサイド部Ts側としてもよい。
The buffing of the crown portion Tc and the shoulder portion Th is performed by rotating the vulcanized tire 1 that is rotatably fixed at a predetermined speed, while rotating the surface of the crown portion Tc and the shoulder portion Th with respect to the cutting mechanism of the buffing device. This is done by pressing A.
The cutting of the surface A is performed so as to obtain a preset buff line (curved shape) extending along the width direction of the crown portion Tc, and the tread application surface B having a predetermined buff line is the circumference of the base tire 1A. It is uniformly formed along the outer circumferential surface. The tread application surface B after the buffing is completed is a roughened state in which the unvulcanized rubber is easily fixed, and includes the entire width direction of the crown portion Tc and extends substantially to the middle portion of the shoulder portion Th. That is, the width direction end portions Be positioned at both ends of the tread application surface B in this example terminate at the shoulder portion Th.
Note that the buff line of the tread affixing surface B or the range in the width direction may be appropriately determined depending on the tire size, required performance, etc. For example, the width direction end portions Be at both ends of the tread affixing surface B are as shown in the figure. May also be the crown portion Tc side or the side portion Ts side.

トレッド貼付け面Bの両端の幅方向端部Beが位置するショルダー部Thには、台タイヤ1Aの回転中心軸側に窪む凹部Cが形成される。凹部Cの切削は、前記同様にトレッド貼付け面Bが形成された台タイヤ1Aを所定の速度で回転させつつ、バフ掛け装置の切削機構に対してショルダー部Thの表面を押圧することにより行われる。切削完了により凹部Cは、台タイヤ1Aの円周方向に沿って連続して延長する。
このように、トレッド貼付け面Bの形成と凹部Cの形成とを同時に行うことにより製造効率の低下及び製造コストの増加を避けることが可能となる。
In the shoulder portion Th where the widthwise end portions Be at both ends of the tread application surface B are located, a recess C that is recessed toward the rotation center axis side of the base tire 1A is formed. The recess C is cut by pressing the surface of the shoulder portion Th against the cutting mechanism of the buffing device while rotating the base tire 1A on which the tread bonding surface B is formed at a predetermined speed as described above. . When the cutting is completed, the concave portion C continuously extends along the circumferential direction of the base tire 1A.
Thus, it becomes possible to avoid the fall of manufacturing efficiency and the increase in manufacturing cost by performing formation of the tread sticking surface B and formation of the recessed part C simultaneously.

図2は、バフ掛け装置によって形成されたトレッド貼付け面Bと、凹部Cとの関係を示す台タイヤ1Aの拡大断面図である。
同図に示すように、トレッド貼付け面Bの幅方向端部Beは、台タイヤ1Aのショルダー部Thの領域内において終端し、凹部Cは幅方向端部Beと連接して形成される。
即ち、凹部Cは、凹部Cの始点となる半径方向外側の開口端部C1が、前記トレッド貼付け面Bの幅方向端部Beと交わるように、換言すれば、開口端部C1と幅方向端部Beとによって形成される端縁Eに連接して形成される。なお、図示において端縁Eは鋭角として形成されているが、滑らかな曲面として形成すれば、後述の未加硫ゴム15を円滑に凹部C内に流入させることが可能となる。
2 is an enlarged cross-sectional view of the base tire 1A showing the relationship between the tread application surface B formed by the buffing device and the recess C. FIG.
As shown in the figure, the end portion Be in the width direction of the tread application surface B terminates in the region of the shoulder portion Th of the base tire 1A, and the recessed portion C is formed to be connected to the end portion Be in the width direction.
That is, the concave portion C has an opening end portion C1 on the outer side in the radial direction, which is the starting point of the concave portion C, intersecting with the width direction end portion Be of the tread application surface B, in other words, the opening end portion C1 and the width direction end portion. It is formed to be connected to the edge E formed by the part Be. In the drawing, the edge E is formed as an acute angle, but if it is formed as a smooth curved surface, an unvulcanized rubber 15 to be described later can smoothly flow into the recess C.

図2に示すように、凹部Cの断面形状は、例えば角部を有さないU字状となるように切削される。より詳細には、凹部Cを形成する面は、任意の曲率を有する湾曲面として形成され、少なくとも湾曲面における底部Cbの位置が、凹部Cの終点となる半径方向内側の開口端部C2の位置P1よりも半径方向内側に位置するように形成される。
なお、本実施形態における凹部Cの底部Cbとは、開口端部C1から二点鎖線で示す仮想垂線Q1を引いたときに当該仮想垂線Q1と交わる湾曲面における地点を意味し、当該底部Cbが開口端部C2の位置P1よりも半径方向内側に位置することにより、トレッド貼付け面Bを伝って流下する未加硫ゴム15を凹部C内に効率良く留めることが可能となる。
上記凹部Cを有する台タイヤ1Aによれば、凹部C内に未加硫ゴム15を留めることが可能となり、後述の未加硫ゴム15が流下してサイド部Ts側に波打ち状態で定着することを確実に防止することが可能となる。
また、トレッド貼付け面Bの成形と凹部Cの成形とをバフ工程において同時期に行うことができ、製造効率の低下及び製造コストの増加なく台タイヤ1Aを製造することが可能となる。
As shown in FIG. 2, the cross-sectional shape of the recessed part C is cut so that it may become a U shape which does not have a corner | angular part, for example. More specifically, the surface forming the concave portion C is formed as a curved surface having an arbitrary curvature, and at least the position of the bottom portion Cb on the curved surface is the position of the radially inner opening end portion C2 that is the end point of the concave portion C. It is formed so as to be located radially inward from P1.
In addition, the bottom part Cb of the recessed part C in this embodiment means the point in the curved surface which cross | intersects the said virtual perpendicular Q1 when the virtual perpendicular Q1 shown with a dashed-two dotted line is drawn from the opening edge part C1, The said bottom part Cb is By being positioned radially inward from the position P1 of the open end C2, the unvulcanized rubber 15 flowing down along the tread application surface B can be efficiently retained in the recess C.
According to the base tire 1A having the concave portion C, the unvulcanized rubber 15 can be retained in the concave portion C, and the unvulcanized rubber 15 described later flows down and is fixed to the side portion Ts in a wavy state. Can be reliably prevented.
Further, the formation of the tread application surface B and the formation of the recess C can be performed at the same time in the buffing process, and the base tire 1A can be manufactured without a decrease in manufacturing efficiency and an increase in manufacturing cost.

凹部Cの寸法について以下に説明する。凹部Cの幅Wは、1mmから10mmの範囲のうち任意の寸法を選択するのが好ましく、より好ましくは5mmとするのがよい。ここで凹部Cの幅Wとは、開口端部C1と底部Cbまでの距離である。
また、凹部Cの深さLは、1mmから5mmの範囲のうち任意の寸法を選択するのが好ましく、より好ましくは3mmとするのがよい。ここで凹部Cの深さLとは、開口端部C2と、当該開口端部C2から仮想水平線Q2を引いたときに当該仮想水平線Q2と交わる湾曲面における地点との距離である。
The dimensions of the recess C will be described below. The width W of the recess C is preferably selected from an arbitrary dimension within a range of 1 mm to 10 mm, and more preferably 5 mm. Here, the width W of the recess C is the distance from the opening end C1 to the bottom Cb.
In addition, the depth L of the recess C is preferably selected from an arbitrary dimension within a range of 1 mm to 5 mm, and more preferably 3 mm. Here, the depth L of the recess C is a distance between the opening end C2 and a point on the curved surface that intersects the virtual horizontal line Q2 when the virtual horizontal line Q2 is drawn from the opening end C2.

以下、上記工程により成形されたトレッド貼付け面Bと凹部Cとを有する台タイヤ1Aと、タイヤトレッド16とを一体化し、タイヤを製造する工程について説明する。
図3(a)は、エンベロープ17内に投入された台タイヤ1Aとタイヤトレッド16との部分断面図である。
台タイヤ1Aのトレッド貼付け面Bには、未加硫ゴム15を介してタイヤトレッド16が貼付けられる。未加硫ゴム15は、トレッド貼付け面Bの全域を覆うように配置される帯状の未加硫ゴム部材であって、台タイヤ1Aの円周方向に沿って均一な厚みとなるように配置される。未加硫ゴム15は、加硫成形完了後に台タイヤ1A及びタイヤトレッド16の色と異なる色となる組成によって生成される。例えば、台タイヤ1Aとタイヤトレッド16が一般的な黒色である場合には、加硫成形完了後の未加硫ゴム15の色が黒色以外の黄色や赤色等となるような組成によって生成される。
また、タイヤトレッド16の貼付回数に応じた色の未加硫ゴム15を配置するようにしてもよい。より詳細には、例えば貼付け回数が1回目の未加硫ゴムの色を黄色とし、貼付け回数が2回目の未加硫ゴムの色を赤色とするというように貼付け回数と未加硫ゴムの色との関係を予め規定しておけば、貼付け回数をタイヤの外観から容易に視認、確認することが可能となる。
Hereinafter, the process of manufacturing the tire by integrating the tire tread 16 with the tire tread 16 and the tire tread 16 having the tread application surface B and the recess C formed by the above process will be described.
FIG. 3A is a partial cross-sectional view of the base tire 1 </ b> A and the tire tread 16 introduced into the envelope 17.
A tire tread 16 is affixed to the tread affixing surface B of the base tire 1 </ b> A via an unvulcanized rubber 15. The unvulcanized rubber 15 is a strip-shaped unvulcanized rubber member disposed so as to cover the entire area of the tread pasting surface B, and is disposed so as to have a uniform thickness along the circumferential direction of the base tire 1A. The The unvulcanized rubber 15 is generated with a composition that is different from the colors of the base tire 1A and the tire tread 16 after the vulcanization molding is completed. For example, when the base tire 1A and the tire tread 16 are of a general black color, the tire is generated with a composition such that the color of the unvulcanized rubber 15 after completion of vulcanization is yellow or red other than black. .
Moreover, you may make it arrange | position the unvulcanized rubber 15 of the color according to the frequency | count of sticking of the tire tread 16. FIG. More specifically, for example, the number of pasting times and the color of the unvulcanized rubber, such that the color of the unvulcanized rubber with the first pasting time is yellow and the color of the unvulcanized rubber with the second pasting number is red. If the relationship is defined in advance, the number of times of application can be easily visually recognized and confirmed from the appearance of the tire.

タイヤトレッド16は、トレッド貼付け面Bの円周方向長さよりも長く成形された帯状のゴム部材であって、例えばプレス型の加硫成形装置によって、トレッド貼付け面Bと対向する平坦な内周面16Aと踏面となるトレッドパターンが形成された外周面16Bとが形成される。
タイヤトレッド16は、例えばトレッド貼付け面Bの円周方向長さ(周長)よりも長い寸法を有し、未加硫ゴム15が配置された状態の台タイヤ1Aのトレッド貼付け面Bの円周方向に沿って巻きつけられ、端部同士が接合される。
The tire tread 16 is a belt-like rubber member that is formed longer than the circumferential length of the tread application surface B, and is a flat inner peripheral surface that faces the tread application surface B by, for example, a press-type vulcanization molding device. 16A and the outer peripheral surface 16B in which the tread pattern used as a tread surface was formed are formed.
The tire tread 16 has, for example, a dimension longer than the circumferential length (peripheral length) of the tread application surface B, and the circumference of the tread application surface B of the base tire 1A in a state where the unvulcanized rubber 15 is disposed. It winds along a direction and ends are joined.

上記貼付工程において一体化された台タイヤ1A及びタイヤトレッド16は、加硫工程へと搬送される。加硫工程においては、まず、未加硫ゴム15を介して一体化された台タイヤ1A及びタイヤトレッド16を外周より包み込むエンベロープ17と呼ばれる袋体に投入した上で、エンベロープ17を密栓し、エンベロープ17内を減圧する。エンベロープ17が減圧状態となることにより、タイヤトレッド16が台タイヤ1Aのトレッド貼付け面Bに押し付けられた状態となる。そして、減圧状態のエンベロープ17に投入された状態の台タイヤ1A及びタイヤトレッド16は、図外の加硫缶と呼ばれる加硫装置に搬入される。   The base tire 1A and the tire tread 16 integrated in the pasting step are conveyed to the vulcanization step. In the vulcanization step, first, the base tire 1A and the tire tread 16 integrated through the unvulcanized rubber 15 are put into a bag body called an envelope 17 that wraps from the outer periphery, and then the envelope 17 is sealed and sealed. 17 is depressurized. When the envelope 17 is in a reduced pressure state, the tire tread 16 is pressed against the tread application surface B of the base tire 1A. Then, the base tire 1A and the tire tread 16 that are put into the envelope 17 in a reduced pressure state are carried into a vulcanizing device called a vulcanizing can (not shown).

加硫缶内部に搬入された台タイヤ1A及びタイヤトレッド16は、例えば加硫缶の本体内部の天井に設けられたフックに縦置き状態(タイヤの回転中心軸が水平方向に延在する状態)で吊され、加熱加圧された状態で加硫される。そして、加硫缶によって、台タイヤ1Aとタイヤトレッド16との間に介在する未加硫ゴム15が加硫されることにより、台タイヤ1Aとタイヤトレッド16が強固に接着され、製品としての性能を発揮し得るタイヤが製造される。   The base tire 1A and the tire tread 16 carried into the inside of the vulcanizing can are placed vertically on, for example, a hook provided on the ceiling inside the main body of the vulcanizing can (a state in which the rotation center axis of the tire extends in the horizontal direction). And vulcanized in a heated and pressurized state. The unvulcanized rubber 15 interposed between the base tire 1A and the tire tread 16 is vulcanized by the vulcanizing can, whereby the base tire 1A and the tire tread 16 are firmly bonded, and the performance as a product. The tire which can exhibit is manufactured.

図3(b)に示すように加硫成型時において、台タイヤ1Aとタイヤトレッド16との間に介在する未加硫ゴム15は、加硫缶内部の温度が上昇するに伴って徐々に溶融し、流動性が増加する。そして、流動性が増加した未加硫ゴム15は、台タイヤ1Aのショルダー部Thに形成された凹部Cへと流入する。
つまり、未加硫ゴム15は、エンベロープ17によって加圧された状態のショルダー部Thから加圧されていない空間としての凹部Cへと流入し、凹部C内において滞留した状態で加硫される。そして、凹部Cに滞留した未加硫ゴム15は、加硫完了後、常温まで冷却されることによって凹部C内で固化、定着する。
As shown in FIG. 3B, during vulcanization molding, the unvulcanized rubber 15 interposed between the base tire 1A and the tire tread 16 gradually melts as the temperature inside the vulcanization can rises. And the liquidity increases. Then, the unvulcanized rubber 15 whose fluidity has increased flows into the recess C formed in the shoulder portion Th of the base tire 1A.
That is, the unvulcanized rubber 15 flows from the shoulder portion Th in a state of being pressurized by the envelope 17 into the concave portion C as a non-pressurized space and is vulcanized while remaining in the concave portion C. The unvulcanized rubber 15 staying in the recess C is solidified and fixed in the recess C by being cooled to room temperature after vulcanization is completed.

以上のとおり、加硫缶によって未加硫ゴム15が加硫されると、台タイヤ1Aとタイヤトレッド16とが強固に接合され、製品としての性能を発揮し得るタイヤが製造される。また、台タイヤ1Aとタイヤトレッド16との間に介在する未加硫ゴム15は、凹部C内に滞留した状態で固化するため、サイド部Ts側に流下することがなく、未加硫ゴム15がタイヤの円周方向に沿って波打つような状態で定着することや、トレッド貼付け面Bの端部が露出することを確実に防止することができ、タイヤの外観を損なうことがないという特有の効果を奏する。   As described above, when the unvulcanized rubber 15 is vulcanized by the vulcanization can, the base tire 1A and the tire tread 16 are firmly joined, and a tire capable of exhibiting performance as a product is manufactured. Further, since the unvulcanized rubber 15 interposed between the base tire 1A and the tire tread 16 is solidified while staying in the recess C, the unvulcanized rubber 15 does not flow down to the side portion Ts side. Can be fixed in a state of undulating along the circumferential direction of the tire, and the end of the tread application surface B can be reliably prevented from being exposed, and the appearance of the tire is not impaired. There is an effect.
