The following method is generally used for the dust forming process. That is, first, as shown in FIG. 4A, the cylindrical forming drum 1
Inner-liner-rubber 1 wound and pasted on 0
A so-called band 13 is formed by cutting a carcass ply 12 in which cords juxtaposed at equal intervals are embedded in a coated rubber on the upper part of the sheet 1 and cutting and winding it to a length corresponding to one tire. Molded. Next, the central portion 14 of the cylindrical band thus formed is expanded and expanded outward in the direction perpendicular to the band axis. Next, a pair of ring-shaped bead cores 17 each having a stiffener rubber 16 mounted thereon are fitted in a predetermined position on the both ends 15 of the band by squeezing both ends 15 inward in a direction perpendicular to the band axis and reducing the diameter. . Next, as shown in FIG.
The bead core 1 is formed by a side bladder 18 in which both ends 15 of the band and a stiffener rubber 16 are filled with internal pressure.
The main body side 19 of the carcass ply 1 is folded back around 7
To form a cylindrical carcass 20.

可能性が増大するという懸念があった。However, when the cylindrical carcass is formed as described above, the cord end portions at both ends of the carcass ply are formed into a cylindrical shape at the beginning of the head. From the outer diameter ΦA on the drum, it is folded back around the bead core to the outer diameter ΦB when it is attached to the body side of the carcass ply as described above (hereinafter, with respect to the outer diameter ΦA. The ratio of the outer diameter ΦB is called the expansion rate). Therefore, in the cord end portion, due to the diameter expansion, the cord interval is greatly expanded and the thickness of the rubber covering the cord is thinned, and the original function of the covering rubber is between the cord and the rubber. The adhesive function of is reduced. Further, in the conventional tire, since the cords at both ends of the carcass ply are integrally covered with the same covering rubber, the tire is run for a long time and the car
In the unlikely event that a minute crack 22 occurs in the coating rubber 21 at a part of the cords at both ends of the dregs ply due to running fatigue,
As shown in FIG. 5, there is a concern that the possibility of easy propagation to the covering rubber 21 of the adjacent code 23 and progressing to peeling failure at the end of the carcass ply increases.

問題があった。Further, in the conventional tire, since the respective cords at both ends of the carcass ply are buried and connected by the same covering rubber, the height of the folded-back portion (the bottom surface of the bead core, that is, the inner peripheral surface). The distance between the cord and the turn-up terminal) is high, and the expansion ratio becomes large, or the hardness of the coated rubber is high and the rubber between the cords is hard to stretch and the cord spacing is difficult to stretch. However, there has been a problem that the above-mentioned folding operation becomes difficult and the tire molding efficiency becomes extremely poor.

Air for heavy load in which both ends of a tire carcass, which are formed substantially in the same manner and are laminated in at least one layer, are wound around and folded back around a pair of bead cores arranged on the left and right of the tire. In the filled radial tire, the cords of the terminal portions at both end portions of the tire carcass are coated one by one, or by a plurality of sheets, and further by one and a plurality of independent coating rubbers. It has a feature.

向上される。As described above, in the heavy duty pneumatic radial tire of the present invention, one or more cords at the end portions of both ends of the tire carcass ply are covered with the covering rubber, so to speak, independently of each other. Therefore, in the tire forming process, when both ends of the tire carcass ply formed into a cylindrical shape on the forming drum are folded back to be expanded in diameter, one or more individual tires are separated into groups. Since the spaces between the individual spaces expand to accommodate the change in the circumferential length of the both ends due to the diameter expansion, the extension of the coated rubber at both ends hardly occurs unlike the conventional tire. Therefore, the thickness of the coated rubber that coats the cords at the end portions at both ends is maintained at the same value as the initial setting even after being folded and molded, and the vulcanization pressure at the time of vulcanization in the next step Thus, the coating rubber is sufficiently penetrated between the filaments of the cord formed by twisting a large number of filaments, and the adhesion between the cord and the rubber is improved.

耐久性が向上する。Further, when the product tire is used for a long period of time and a minute crack is generated in the coated rubber at the cord ends of both ends of the tire carcass ply due to running fatigue, the crack is caused by another rubber filled in the void. Of the above-mentioned one or a plurality of the independent independent rubber in the rubber unit of each group is temporarily stopped by the propagation, the crack propagation speed becomes slow,
The peeling failure of the cord terminal is less likely to occur, and the durability of the tire is improved.

雑化が防止出来る。Further, in the tire molding process, when both ends of the tire carcass ply formed in a cylindrical shape on the molding drum are folded back around the bead core to expand the circumferential length of the both ends, the present invention In the tire of No. 1, it is possible to deal with it by simply expanding the voids existing between each of the independent group units for each of the one or a plurality of tires provided at both ends, and to extend the coated rubber like the tire of the conventional structure. Since a large force required for the molding is not required, the folding operation can be facilitated, the efficiency of the molding operation is improved, and the molding apparatus can be prevented from becoming complicated.

10 to 30 mm toward the inside of the carcass ply from the cord ends at the end portions of the both ends in the longitudinal direction of the cord.
It is preferably in the range of. From the results of many past experiments, it is found that the range in which the micro-cracks of the cord end are generated by running fatigue is 10 mm or less from the cord end toward the inside of the carcass ply. Since it was confirmed, the range independent of the covering rubber of the adjacent code is preferably at least 10 mm from the code end in the longitudinal direction of the code. Further, when the independent range exceeds 30 mm from the code end in the longitudinal direction of the code, the range reaches the bottom portion of the bead core, that is, the inner peripheral surface, and the inner surface of the tire from the outer side in the tire radial direction. The tire inner pressure retaining inner liner rubber extended to a portion is immersed in the gap to reduce the set thickness of the inner liner rubber, thereby leaking the tire inner pressure and ply cord arrangement. There is a concern that it may induce other troubles such as disorder of the.

The number of cords is preferably 10 or less. When the number exceeds 10, the range in which the microcracks of the code terminal propagate at a stretch due to running fatigue is widened, and the time at which the vehicle cannot run due to peeling failure at the bead portion is shortened.

As shown in (a), when the hard thin sheet-shaped cord end coating rubber 8 is attached as a reinforcing member for the cord end, the cord end coating is applied in the vulcanization step of the next step. The rubber 8 is press-fitted into the voids 9 between the respective group units by the vulcanization pressure to form a product tire after vulcanization.
It is formed as shown in the sectional view of FIG. In the case where the folded-back end portion is formed in this way, when a small crack is generated at the code end portion due to running fatigue of the tire, the propagation of the crack is caused by the hard cord end pressed into the void 9 as described above. It is blocked by the covering rubber and the propagation speed is lowered, so that the occurrence of peeling failure at the bead portion is delayed and the durability performance of the tire is further improved.

ぶる向上する。According to the radial tire for heavy load of the present invention,
Since the end portions of the both ends of the carcass ply are covered by independent rubber for each one or for every plural ones, and for each one or plurals, the carcass ply cord is provided at the time of tire production. The thickness of the coating rubber to be coated is not thin, the adhesion between the code and the coating rubber is sufficiently secured, and the propagation of microcracks generated at the cord end of the terminal portion due to tire running fatigue is suppressed. Thus, the bead durability of the tire is remarkably improved, and the work of folding back both ends of the carcass ply at the time of tire molding is facilitated, and the tire molding efficiency is greatly improved.
