Description of the Related Art When a heavy vehicle such as a construction vehicle and a truck as a heavy vehicle travels on a wasteland or a road surface on which crushed rocks are scattered, it is used as a belt for heavy-duty pneumatic radial tires to be mounted on the vehicle, which is resistant to cut separation. And it is quite natural to adopt a structure with excellent cut penetration resistance,
As a belt structure suitable for this purpose, FIG.
As shown in the left half cross-sectional view diagrammatically illustrating each layer of the belt in (b), the main crossing layer of the non-stretchable steel cord represented by the solid line and the protective layer of the stretchable steel cord represented by the broken line on the outside thereof. It has been proposed in practice to provide a protective layer having a width exceeding the maximum width of the main intersection layer as shown in the drawing. The layers 1B to 6B representing the first to sixth layers are sequentially attached to the layers closest to the carcass. The same applies hereinafter.

ことが提案され、やはり広く実施されている。Further, it is needless to say that among the durability that the belt should have, the separation resistance of the end portion of the belt in addition to the above-mentioned both durability must be of the utmost importance. In order to maintain the above, it is proposed that the cord of the layer having the maximum width among the main crossing layers and the cord of the maximum width protective layer be aligned in the inclination direction with respect to the tire equatorial plane E, and is also widely practiced.

L(左上がり)と共に括弧内に示す。以降同様に示す。This is because the belt separation tends to occur at the maximum width end of the main crossing layer, and a protective layer made of rubberized cloth of steel cord is covered with a protective layer made of a rubber cord so as to cover this end. Laying E as a cord crossing layer is not disadvantageous in terms of interlayer shear strain between both ends, but if it is laminated as a co-directional code layer, shear strain generated at the maximum width end of the main crossing layer in the grounding part. This is because it contributes to the significant relaxation of In each layer shown in FIG. 8, the inclination angle (degree) of the cord with respect to the tire equatorial plane E is shown in parentheses with the reference symbol R (upward) and the reference symbol L (upward left) indicating the inclination direction of the cord. The same applies hereinafter.

可避の手段である。In order to enhance the effect of greatly relaxing the shear strain generated at the edge of the maximum width of the main crossing layer and the effect of suppressing the separation, the edge portion of the protective layer having the maximum width is shown in FIG. As shown in c), it is said that it is effective to bend so as to be as close as possible to the edge portion of the maximum width layer of the main intersection layer, and it is actually applied. This requires that the number of main crossing layers be 3 or more, preferably 4 or more, in order to exhibit the performance and durability required for tires for heavy vehicles.
Among them, the code layer having the maximum width is arranged at a position excluding the outermost layer, that is, the second layer counting from the carcass side in the example of FIG. 8A, and the third layer in the example of FIG. 8B. It is an unavoidable means because it is advantageous for maintaining the separation resistance of the main crossing layer.

ある。However, according to the actual driving results and the experimental results obtained so far, many occurrences of separation are observed from the bent end portion of the protective layer end portion, and as a result, the effect of suppressing the occurrence of separation in the main intersection layer at the bend angle is sufficient. It was a situation that I could not say that I was utilizing it for. Further, if the degree of bending is reduced, separation of the main crossing layer is likely to occur, and in the end, the separation resistance of the belt as a whole cannot be improved to a high degree.

It is to provide a pneumatic radial tire for heavy loads.

た。この歪作用のありさまを図2(a)に示す。[Function] First, as a result of examining factors that cause separation at the end portion of the protective layer having the maximum width among the cord layers constituting the conventional belt, the following conclusions have been reached. That is, when the strain at the end portion of the protective layer was actually measured, it was found that shearing which shows a large peak in the direction (circumferential direction) along the circumference of the tread at the stepped end and the raised end of the tread portion 1 during load rolling of the tire It has been found that strain acts on the ends. The state of this distortion action is shown in FIG.

It can be seen that the circumferential shear strain that changes to (or plus) acts. This means that the end portion of the protective layer repeats a large extension amplitude in the circumferential direction at the stepped end and the kicked end.

There is a neutral line immediately below, and the tensile region exists above the neutral line NP immediately below the load (the compressive strain region is below the neutral line NP immediately below the load). Here, the tension and compression are forces acting on the belt 4 along the tire equatorial plane. It was found that the neutral line NP directly under the load curves as shown from the tire equatorial plane E toward the end of the belt 4 and that a larger tensile strain (compressive strain) acts as the distance from the neutral line NP immediately under the load increases. did. This means that a large tensile strain acts on the end of the protective layer, that is, shear strain acts on the peripheral rubber.

に供し得ない。Therefore, although it is effective to prevent the separation of the edge by moving the position of the edge of the protective layer in the direction of the arrow in FIG. 2 (b), it is effective to prevent the separation of the edge. As a result of impairing the relaxation effect, the separation resistance of the main crossing layer is deteriorated by a simple edge movement, which cannot be put to practical use.

It has been found that the setting is effective for achieving both excellent separation resistance between the edge of the protective layer and the edge of the main crossing layer that it covers.

By setting the shape of the end portion of the protective layer 4p and the carcass line 3l so as to satisfy the relationship of °, the shear strains of the end portion of the protective layer 4p and the end portion of the cord layer 4a of the main intersecting layer are both effectively relaxed, This means that the separation resistance of both can be improved at the same time.

The results of strict calculation by FEM using both sizes of 0R57 as an example will be described below with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4. 3 and 4, each layer of the belt 4 is shown on the left side of the figure in the same schematic cross section as in FIG. 8, and the total width (mm) of each layer is shown at the left end of the diagram. On the right side of each figure, the horizontal axis is the intersection angle θ of the straight lines 1 and n, and the maximum width of the protective layer 4p and the main crossing layer 4a

剪断歪は増加する。In FIGS. 3 and 4, the larger the value of the intersection angle θ, the farther the end portion of the protective layer 4p is from the end portion of the code layer 4a, and the value of the intersection angle θ is-(minus). It indicates that the intersection is on the outer side of the tire opposite to the equatorial plane E of the tire. Further, the smaller the shear strain index on the vertical axis, the more advantageous the separation resistance is. As is clear from each figure, the shear strain at the edge of the protective layer 4p decreases as the value of the crossing angle θ increases from a negative value to 0 °, while the shear strain at the edge of the maximum width code layer 4a of the main crossing layer decreases. To increase.

チールコードを適用するのが望ましい。The elongation of the main cross layer steel cord when cut is 0 to 4%, the elongation of the protective layer steel cord when cut is 4 to 8%, and the maximum width of the protective layer. If the ratio Wp / Wa between Wp and the maximum width Wa of the main crossing layer is within the range of 1.05 to 1.30, the performance expected as a heavy-duty pneumatic radial tire can be sufficiently obtained without the belt separation. Can be demonstrated.
For the high elongation steel cord used for the protective layer, it is desirable to use a so-called rubber penetrating type steel cord, which is excellent in rubber invasion in order to maintain excellent cut separation resistance.

表1に示す。In the separation durability test of each of the above-mentioned test tires, the tire was pressed against the drum rotating at an outer peripheral speed of 16 km / h with a load of 105% of the maximum load capacity,
In addition, a slip angle of 5 ° was added, and the direction of the slip angle was changed every 12 hours of running. The evaluation was carried out by measuring the crack lengths generated at the respective ends of the protective layer 4p and the cord layer 4a having the maximum width of the main crossing layer after running for a predetermined time at four positions on the circumference, and obtaining the average value thereof. It is shown in index display with Example 4 as 100. The smaller the value, the better. Note that this crack is in the initial stage of separation, and thus the size of the crack length indicates whether the separation durability is good or bad. The evaluation results are shown in Table 1.
