Abstract

Technical Problem: To provide a tire vulcanization mold, a tire manufacturing method, and a pneumatic tire that reduce poor rigidity due to tread wear marks and can suppress partial wear. Solution: The tire vulcanization mold of the present invention has: tread molding surface (1), and it contacts with the tread of the tire that is arranged on mold cavity (15); (1) protruding inward in the tire radial direction; a groove (3) for forming a tread wear mark, which is provided in such a manner that the top surface of the bone (2) is recessed; and a plate-shaped protrusion (6) for forming a groove ), which protrudes from the bottom surface of the groove (3) inwardly in the tire radial direction.

Description

technical field

[0001] The present invention relates to a tire vulcanization mold having grooves for forming tread wear marks, a tire manufacturing method using the tire vulcanization mold, and a pneumatic tire provided with tread wear marks in tread grooves. Background technique

[0002] The tire vulcanization mold has a tread molding surface that is in contact with the tread of the tire. Concavo-convex shapes for forming a tread pattern are provided on the tread molding surface. The concavo-convex shape includes bone portions for groove formation protruding inward in the tire radial direction from the tread forming surface. A tread wear indicator (hereinafter sometimes referred to as "TWI") indicating a wear-based usage limit is sometimes provided in the groove formed by the bone part. The TWI is formed by a groove provided so as to dent the top surface of the bone (for example, refer to Patent Document 1).

[0003] Since the TWI is raised from the bottom of the groove,...

Embodiment Construction

[0029] Embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0030] figure 1 A cross section of the tire vulcanizing mold 10 taken along the tire meridian is shown, and the tire vulcanizing mold 10 is in a closed state. The tire T is installed with the tire width direction facing up and down. exist figure 1 In the figure, the left direction is outside in the tire radial direction, and the right direction is inside in the tire radial direction. figure 2 Zoom in figure 1 The main part of the equivalent along the image 3 A-A to view the section. exist figure 2 , image 3 Herein, the upper direction is the outer side in the tire radial direction, and the lower direction is the inner side in the tire radial direction.

[0031] Such as Figure 1~3 As shown, the tire vulcanization mold 10 has: a tread molding surface 1 which is in contact with the tread of a tire T provided in a cavity 15; a protrusion; and a groove 3 for tread wear ind...
