Abstract

PURPOSE: To reduce a noise as maintaining wetproofness by installing a groove fence part at such an interval that one spot is always contained within a ground plane to be formed at the time of traveling, while making a groove deforming part have at least one spot one between two groove fence parts each other. CONSTITUTION: A tire is provided with plural main grooves 2 extending in the circumferential direction, inclusive of land parts 3 partitioned off by these main grooves 2, and a tread 1 with a groove fence part 4 in the main grooves 2 extending in direction of interrupting a sense of this groove. This groove fence part 4 is installed at a circumferential interval where one spot is always contained on a ground surface to be formed in time of tire traveling at each main groove 2. A groove deforming part 5, where a cross-sectional area of the main groove 2 is increased or decreased, is installed at least one piece between two groove fence parts 4 each other. With this constitution, noises by an air columnar pipe resonance in the main grooves are reduced by a muffler effect owing to a setup of the groove fence part and the groove deforming part.

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, noise has been taken up as a pollution problem caused by automobiles, and noise emitted while a tire is running is
It is mainly the sound that accompanies the air discharged from the groove provided in the tread between the tread of the tire and the road surface. The tread of a tire consists of land, such as ribs, blocks, etc., which are usually divided into grooves formed by ridges and valleys that go into the left and right, and tread components such as sipes, which are appropriately provided on these, arranged endlessly in the circumferential direction. It is formed.

When the tire runs, the ribs or grooves between the lugs and the air in the sipes vibrate as the tire rotates, so that the pitch of the tread component depends on how many times it touches the ground. In other words, the frequency is decided, and it becomes a certain high-pitched sound that comes into the human ear. Therefore, usually, by applying and arranging a plurality of tread components having different lengths, that is, a pitch variation method based on the frequency modulation theory using pitches, it is possible to disperse a specific frequency into an unnoticeable sound. Has been done.

On the other hand, due to remarkable maintenance of the expressway network, the chances of traveling at high speeds increase, and in consideration of the wet skid property which is a concern in this case, the groove that divides the land portion of the tread is a wide straight circumferential main groove. Is used as the keynote. In such a circumferential main groove, air column resonance occurs in the groove, which causes a new problem of deterioration of noise. Air columnar resonance is a stepping / kicking-out portion of the groove width during ground contact rolling, and high-frequency vibration occurs in the groove wall (or land wall) as it fluctuates rapidly due to the action of external force. Causes the air in the circumferential main groove on the ground contact surface, that is, the air in the pipe, to vibrate, and the acoustic resonance action based on this vibrates the noise.

Further, although the groove fence is flexible, it is unavoidable that the water flow in the ground contact surface is impaired to some extent. The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a pneumatic tire having reduced noise while maintaining wet resistance.

In the tire according to the present invention, the noise due to the air column resonance in the main groove is caused not only by the primary component of air vibration but also by the secondary or higher order due to the arrangement of the groove fence and the muffler effect of the groove deformation. The components can be advantageously reduced. Further, since the groove fence portion is not included in each of the main grooves in the ground contact surface during traveling, no pumping noise is generated when the air compressed in the grooves is popped out.

When the groove fence portion and / or the groove deforming portion are provided with a phase difference in the circumferential direction between the main grooves, noise peaks are dispersed between the main grooves, and the groove fence portion is formed. By arranging a plurality of fences close to each other in the circumferential direction, it is possible to obtain a higher effect of suppressing the propagation of air vibrations in the groove. On the other hand, when traveling on a wet road, since the plurality of groove fence portions are not included in the ground contact surface, the flow of water in the main groove is not substantially hindered.
