Abstract
The foam tire of the present invention comprises a crosslinked foamed tire body, a rigid sheet joined to the inner circumference of the foam tire body, and a protrusion formed on the surface of the rigid sheet joined to the inner circumference of the foam tire body.
Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a foam tire, and more particularly, to a foam tire in which a foam cell is formed inside to secure the elasticity of a wheel for smooth transportation of a transfer material without injecting air from the outside.
Wheels are the greatest invention of mankind that can reduce the friction between the moving means and the ground, thereby reducing the force required to move. The wheels are widely used in automobiles, bicycles, carts and the like. Currently used wheels are widely used because of the air pressure inside them and the elasticity due to the air pressure.
Fig. 1 shows the structure of a general bicycle wheel. Referring to FIG. 1, a
Bicycle tires are mainly classified as clincher tires and tubular tires. The clincher tires have a structure in which one side is open and a bead is inserted in the circumferential direction at the open end. The clincher tire has a structure in which a tube is inserted into the clincher tire to receive the air pressure and the bead is caught by the protrusion of the cleansing rim and does not fall out from the rim. Tubular tires are not structured such that one side is opened differently from the clincher tires, but are fixed to the tubular rim with an adhesive or the like in a state in which a tube is inserted and bulged.
Recently, a foam tire has been developed. The foam tire does not need to inject air separately from the outside, and has elasticity against the ground by a pore formed therein. Foam tires have the advantage of not puncturing even when they come into contact with sharp structures on the ground.
Prior art relating to foam tire is Korean Patent No. 943331, which is registered by the inventor of this patent application. The prior art is a bicycle tire manufactured by an injection foaming method, in which a plurality of engagement holes are formed at predetermined intervals in a rim coupling portion, a stopper made of a synthetic resin material is fixed to the engagement hole, And the stopper has a horizontal surface on an arc surface such that both end surfaces protrude when the stopper is fixedly coupled to the coupling hole, and both end surfaces are inclined. Foam tires of this structure can be fixed to the cleaner rim, but they are not applicable to the tubular rim which can not be provided with a stopper.
Therefore, it is very necessary to develop a foam tire which can be stably fixed to a tubular type rim.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a foam tire in which the shape of a foam tire is deformed to prevent a tire from being separated from the rim.
A second problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a foam tire having a structure that does not separate from the tubular rim even when an external force is applied.
In order to accomplish the first object of the present invention, there is provided a method for manufacturing a foam tire, comprising the steps of: crosslinking a foamed tire body; a rigid sheet joined to an inner circumference of the foam tire body; A foam tire comprising a projection is provided.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, the protrusion may be inserted into the foam tire body to a predetermined depth.
According to another embodiment of the present invention, a hole into which the projection is inserted may be formed in the foam tire body.
According to another embodiment of the present invention, the hard sheet may include a polymer resin sheet or a metal sheet.
In order to achieve the second object of the present invention, there is provided a foam tire fixedly mounted on a concave tire seating portion of a tubular rim, the convex inner circumferential surface corresponding to a concave tire seating portion of the tubular rim, A ring shaped foam tire body resiliently longitudinally coupled to the tubular rim so as to be able to engage with the tubular rim while being coupled to the tubular rim, And a rigid sheet in contact with the concave tire seating portion of the tubular rim, wherein protrusions are formed on the surface of the rigid sheet to insert the protrusions into the foam tire body so that the rigid sheet and the foam tire body are firmly engaged And the hard sheet has a hardness of not less than Shore D 50, And the rigid sheet is joined to the inner circumferential surface of the inner circumference of the foam tire body in plurality so as to form a ring shape foam tire And has elasticity in the longitudinal direction so as to be fastened to the tubular rim.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, the protrusion may be in the form of a cylinder, a cone, a truncated cone, or an arrowhead.
According to another embodiment of the present invention, the protrusion may have a width larger than that of the lower portion.
According to another embodiment of the present invention, the projection may extend in the direction of the width of the hard sheet.
The foam tire of the present invention has the following effects.
1. Since the rigid sheet is bonded to the resilient foam tire body, the flexural deformation of the foam tire against the ring shape is effectively prevented.
2. The rigid sheet of the foam tire is held in contact with the tire seating portion of the tubular rim and the rigid seat is relatively weak in elasticity as compared with the foam tire so that even when force is applied from outside the foam tire, So that it can be prevented from being detached from the rim.
3. Since the rigid sheet joined to the foam tire body is joined to the structure in which the intermediate middle is separated rather than the continuous ring shape, the foam tire has elasticity in the circumferential direction, so that the tie- .
4. Since the soft material is coated on the outer surface of the rigid sheet, it is possible to prevent noise from being caused by friction with the surface of the rim, and ride comfort can be improved by elasticity of the soft material.
5. Since the projections are formed in the rigid sheet and the projections are inserted into the inside of the foam tire, the rigid sheet and the foam tire body can be more firmly joined together.
6. The projections formed on the rigid sheet extend in the direction of the width of the rigid sheet to increase resistance to elastic deformation of the rigid sheet, and even when subjected to a force on the side of the foam tire, Thereby effectively preventing a deviation from the block.

Fig. 11 shows various forms of the protrusions formed on the tire contact surface of the hard sheet. Referring to FIG. 11, the protrusions may have a cylindrical shape, a cone, a truncated cone, or an arrowhead shape. When the projection has an arrowhead shape, it is preferable that a hole having a shape corresponding to the foam tire is formed. The protrusion of the arrowhead shape can prevent the protrusion from falling out of the hole after the protrusion of the arrowhead shape is inserted into the hole of the foam tire due to the elastic deformation of the foam tire. The protrusions may be formed in a shape that is thicker than the lower portion in the upper or middle region even though the protrusions are not in the shape of an arrowhead. In this case, the protrusions may have an effect similar to that of the arrowhead-shaped protrusions. In the case of the protrusion extending in the direction of the area of the hard sheet, the width of the upper portion of the extended protrusion may be wider than that of the lower portion. In this case, the height of the protrusion may be reversed.
