Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of vehicle tires, and particularly to a tire design method for improving the sidewall thickness and enhancing the response of the tire center area. Background Art

[0002] Traditional tire design methods are mainly based on experimental data and adopt a sidewall structure design with a fixed thickness distribution. Usually, the complex relationships among the driving characteristics of the vehicle, the usage environment, and the tire performance cannot be fully considered. Especially in high-performance vehicles or special working conditions (such as high load, complex road conditions), the influence of the sidewall area thickness on the response of the tire center area (such as stiffness, deformation, stability) is often ignored or simplified, resulting in a deviation between the tire performance and the actual requirements.

[0003] In recent years, with the development of computer simulation technology and big data analysis, tire performance optimization methods have gradually shifted towards comprehensive analysis based on multi-dimensional data. By deeply studying the sidewall force, vehicle characteristics, and historical driving data, the influence mechanism of the sidewall thickness on the center area response can be further revealed. However, existing optimization methods are mostly single optimization, without forming a dynamic adjustment and closed-loop feedback mechanism, and it is difficult to fully meet the diverse requirements of complex usage scenarios for tire performance.

[0126] Embodiment 8:

[0127] The embodiment of the present invention provides a tire design method for improving the sidewall thickness and enhancing the response of the tire central region. Based on the sidewall optimized thickness matrix of the target vehicle tire, determine the tire design scheme, including:

[0128] Determine whether the optimized thickness matrix of the tire sidewall meets the response target of the tire center area. If it does not meet the requirement, readjust the optimized thickness matrix of the tire sidewall until the response target of the tire center area is satisfied.

[0129] Determine the tire design scheme based on the optimized thickness matrix of the tire sidewall that meets the response target of the tire center area.

[0130] In this embodiment, the optimized thickness matrix of the tire sidewall is the optimization result obtained by analyzing the force data, response data of the tire sidewall, and vehicle driving characteristics. However, it is necessary to verify whether this matrix can achieve the preset response target of the tire center area. The response target of the tire center area refers to the performance indicators (such as stiffness, stability, deformation characteristics, etc.) that the tire needs to achieve under specific design conditions. By inputting the optimized thickness matrix of the tire sidewall into the corresponding performance simulation model or test environment, calculate the response of the tire center area corresponding to this matrix, compare it with the preset target value, and determine whether it meets the design requirements. If it does not meet the requirement, readjust the optimized thickness matrix of the tire sidewall, and re-optimize and adjust the thickness values of each sub-region until the output performance of the optimized matrix is consistent with the preset target.

[0131] In this embodiment, when the output performance of the optimized thickness matrix of the tire sidewall reaches the preset response target of the tire center area after adjustment, this matrix can be used as the final optimization result that meets the performance requirements.

[0132] In this embodiment, use the optimized thickness matrix of the tire sidewall that finally meets the requirements as the core parameter of the design, and combine other tire structure designs (such as tread thickness, tread pattern design, etc.) to determine the overall tire design scheme.

[0133] Beneficial effects of the above technical solution: Determining the tire design scheme based on the optimized thickness matrix of the tire sidewall of the target vehicle tire can improve the precision design level of the tire, ensure key performances such as the stiffness and stability of the tire, and improve the flexibility and adaptability of the design.
