空気洩れの原因にもなるという問題点がある。(Prior Art) The conventional bead of a pneumatic tire is only covered with a thin rubber sheet, and at the time of vulcanization, the bead is pushed by a bladder, and due to deformation of the unvulcanized tire. It is also dragged from the carcass ply. Therefore, the bead of the vulcanized tire is largely deformed from the shape of the unvulcanized bead, and the position of the bead deviates from the design target.
As a result, even if the tires are assembled into rims, problems may occur with fitting with the rims, abnormal friction and wear may occur on the outer periphery of the bead, and air leakage may occur especially in the case of tubeless type tires. There is a problem that

い。(Structure of the Invention) A pneumatic tire with improved durability according to the present invention comprises a bead wire located at a bead portion and a rubberized cord layer in which a large number of cords are arranged in parallel, and both end portions are bead portions. In a pneumatic tire having a carcass ply folded back and locked to the bead wire and a stiffener arranged on the radial outer surface of the bead wire, an average diameter of 1 μm or less between the bead wire and the stiffener around the bead wire and the carcass ply, A rubber reinforcing layer made of a rubber composition containing 5 parts by weight or more of short fibers having a ratio (L / D) of average length L and average diameter D of 8 or more,
The short fibers of the rubber-reinforcing layer are made of a thermoplastic polymer having an amide group, and are grafted with a rubber portion via a phenol-formaldehyde-type condensate. Further, it is preferable that the orientation direction of the short fibers of the rubber reinforcing layer and the arrangement direction of the bead wires are the same.

性率、優れた耐カット性、および本発明に利用している
高い異方性を発現させることが出来るのである。In the present invention, the reason why the average diameter of the short fibers is limited to 1 μm or less is as follows. Originally, when strain (stress) is applied to the short fibers, large shear stress is applied to both ends of the short fibers, and the shear stress causes cracks from both ends of the short fibers to grow and grow. There was a strong tendency to generate large creep peculiar to. It has been found that the shear stress greatly depends on the shape of the short fibers, and as a matter of course, the smaller the short fibers,
Since the strain applied to both ends of the short fiber is also small, the shear force is also small. The smaller the short fibers, the smaller the reinforcing effect per short fiber, but the larger the number. Therefore, when viewed as a whole, the short fibers will increase fatigue resistance, especially creep after repeated strain. Can be prevented. Furthermore, the high elastic modulus, the excellent cut resistance, and the high anisotropy utilized in the present invention, which are the purpose of reinforcing short fibers, can be exhibited.

繊維の平均径を1μm以下にしなければならない。In order to take advantage of the above-mentioned short fiber reinforcement, it is necessary that the aspect ratio (L / D) is 8 or more. Keeping this aspect ratio at 8 or more, the shear stress applied to both ends of the short fiber is In order to reduce it to a level that does not cause a problem, the average diameter of the short fibers must be 1 μm or less.
本発明に於いて、短繊維の量を5重量部以上に限定した

繊維補強の効果が期待出来ないからである。本発明で
は、後述するように短繊維を極力配向させ、その配向方
向とビードワイヤの方向と同じにすることによって、ゴ
ム流れの少ないタイヤを得ることが可能となる。In the present invention, the reason why the amount of short fibers is limited to 5 parts by weight or more is that if the amount is less than 5 parts by weight, the effect of reinforcing short fibers, which is the object of the present invention, cannot be expected. In the present invention, as described later, by orienting the short fibers as much as possible and making the orientation direction the same as the bead wire direction, it is possible to obtain a tire with less rubber flow.
本発明に於いて、ビードワイヤの配列方向と短繊維補強
ゴム中の短繊維の配向方向とは同じとするのが好ましい
が、これは同じとした方が短繊維補強の効果が最も発揮
出来るからである。In the present invention, it is preferable that the arrangement direction of the bead wires and the orientation direction of the short fibers in the short fiber reinforced rubber are the same, but this is the same because the effect of the short fiber reinforcement can be most exerted. is there.

た時に最も大きな効果を生み出す。In the present invention, in the vulcanized short fiber reinforced rubber, the elastic modulus M1 at 50% strain when pulled in the direction of arrangement of short fibers,
It is preferable that the ratio (M1 / M2) of the elastic modulus M2 at 50% strain when pulled in the direction perpendicular to the arrangement direction of the short fibers is 2.5 or more, which indicates the degree of orientation of the short fibers. As described above, when the short fiber reinforced rubber composition containing the short fibers oriented in this degree is arranged in the same direction as the bead wire arranging direction and the short fiber arranging direction in the short fiber reinforced rubber, the greatest effect is obtained. produce.
本発明に於いて、前記短繊維の材料を、アミド基を有す

との接着強度を増加させることによって短繊維補強ゴム
の耐疲労性を向上させることができるからである。In the present invention, the reason for limiting the material of the short fibers to the thermoplastic polymer having an amide group is that the polymer having an amide group is easy to crystallize, and the orientation of the crystal is relatively easy to form spherulites. This is because the short fibers have excellent fatigue resistance because they are difficult. Also, the crystal melting point of the polymer having an amide group is usually 200 ° C. or higher, and there is no problem in terms of heat resistance. Furthermore, the reason why the short fiber and rubber portion of the reinforcing rubber layer are limited to be grafted through a phenol-formaldehyde-based condensate is that the short fiber reinforced by increasing the adhesive strength between the short fiber and the rubber portion. This is because the fatigue resistance of rubber can be improved.

アルタイヤである。At this time, the green case is pressurized and heated in the vulcanizer, the outer diameter of the green case is slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the tire mold, and the green case is pressurized from the inner side of the tire radiating, It is heated by the high temperature inside the tire and in the tire mold. This softens the rubber of the green case and deforms it so that the outer diameter of the green case increases. At this time, in the bead portion, the carcass ply 5 around the bead wire 3 slightly moves inward from the outer side of the tire, and a force to deform the bead wire is applied. However, around the bead wire,
The rubber reinforcing layer in which the short fibers of the present invention are oriented in the bead wire arranging direction is provided with a predetermined thickness. Therefore,
The stress that tends to deform the bead wire is relaxed by the rubber inside the rubber reinforcing layer having anisotropy and in the vicinity thereof, and these shear strains are relaxed. For this reason, the deformation of the bead wire and the deformation in the vicinity become extremely small, and a pneumatic tire having a bead portion shape as designed can be obtained. Tire size is 295 / 75R 22.5 tubeless radial tire.

From the MR chart, cut out the respective peaks of the methyl group and methylene group derived from natural rubber, the methylene group adjacent to the CO group derived from 6-nylon, the methylene group adjacent to the NH group and the other three methylene groups. The graft ratio was calculated by obtaining the molar ratio of 6-nylon and natural rubber by the area method. In addition, the shape of the nylon fiber
200 pieces were measured with a scanning electron microscope at a magnification of 10,000 times. The fibers were very fine short fibers with a circular cross section. Sample 3 had an average diameter of the short fibers of 1.1 μm and exceeded the limit of the average shape of the present invention of 1 μm. Further, using the reinforced rubber composition (Samples 2 to 6) obtained according to Table 4,
Rubber compositions 4 to 8 were produced according to the method for producing (2) short fiber reinforced rubber and rubber sheet layer in (Examples 1 to 5), and further, a reinforcing layer was produced using each rubber composition. . Here, the compounding ingredients of the rubber compositions 4 to 8 are shown in Table 5, and the rubber composition 5 uses the sample 3 and is a rubber composition in which the average form of the short fibers exceeds 1.0 μm.
