DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] The following is a clear and complete description of the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field based on the embodiments of the present invention without making any creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0026] In the description of this application, it should be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "back", "left", "right", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside", etc., indicating the orientation or position relationship, are based on the orientation or position relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on this application.

[0027] The tire specification of this implementation case is 35*12.5R20LT. Figure 1 The figure shows a schematic diagram of the structure of the tread and sidewalls unfolded into a plane state, and Figure 1 Also shown are the left shoulder line a and the right shoulder line b. A circumferentially extending tire pattern is provided on the tread between the left and right shoulder lines a and b. The image shows that the tire pattern is centrosymmetrical and primarily features large, blocky patterns. Different pattern designs in different areas can provide different stresses and performance to different parts of the tire.

[0028] like Figure 1-3 As shown, the tread is provided with 3 circumferentially extending pattern ribs and 2 pattern main grooves arranged alternately. Figure 1 (From left to right in the figure), the tire tread pattern includes, in order: a first pattern rib 110, a second pattern rib 120, and a third pattern rib 130. The width of the second pattern rib 120 is significantly greater than that of the first and third pattern ribs 110, 130. The patterns of the first and third pattern ribs 110 and 130 are centrally symmetrical. The three pattern ribs are independent of each other, meaning that adjacent ribs do not directly contact each other.

[0029] The tire tread is also provided with zigzag longitudinal grooves extending circumferentially to prevent direct contact between the aforementioned ribs. A first main groove 210 extending in a circumferential straight line is formed between the first and second ribs 110, 120. A second main groove 220 extending in a circumferential straight line is formed between the second and third ribs 120, 130. The depth D of these two longitudinal grooves ranges from 11.5 to 13.5 mm. In this embodiment, the depth D of these two longitudinal grooves is 12.5 mm. Therefore, the depth of the three ribs from the bottom of the grooves is also 12.5 mm, meaning that the thickness of the three ribs is 12.5 mm.

[0030] The pattern of the sidewall on both sides of the tread is also center-symmetrical, and the sidewall is provided with uniformly arranged sidewall blocks 5. The sidewall blocks 5 are integrally extended with the blocks on the adjacent pattern ribs, and the sidewall blocks 5 are 4-6 mm, in this embodiment 5 mm, higher than the surface of the sidewall. The sidewall blocks 5 will embed into the ground gap on slopes, soft road surfaces and rocky road sections, forming temporary anchor points, thereby improving lateral grip; at the same time, it can enhance the rigidity of the sidewall part, assist in enhancing the rigidity of the shoulder blocks, and strengthen the driving safety.

[0031] The first pattern rib 110 extends from the crown of the tread to the shoulder and adjoins the sidewall block 5. The first pattern rib 110 is circumferentially provided with a first transverse groove 111 and a first secondary groove 131, and the first transverse groove 111 and the first secondary groove 131 are parallel to each other and are both communicated with the first pattern main groove 210. The groove depth of the first transverse groove 111 and the first secondary groove 131 is consistent with that of the first pattern main groove 210. The first pattern rib 110 is divided into uniformly arranged first block units by the first transverse groove 111, and adjacent first block units are independent of each other. The first block unit is divided into a first shoulder block 1 and a second shoulder block 2 which are parallel in the tire circumferential direction by the first secondary groove 131, and adjacent first shoulder blocks 1 and second shoulder blocks 2 are independent of each other. In this embodiment, the first shoulder block 1 in the first block unit is located in front of the second shoulder block 2.

[0032] A second stone-removing block 7 is arranged between adjacent first block units, i.e. the second stone-removing block 7 is arranged inside the first transverse groove 111. The depth of the second stone-removing block 7 is 2.0-3.0 mm from the tire bottom, and in this embodiment, the depth of the second stone-removing block 7 is 2.5 mm from the tire bottom, i.e. the thickness of the second stone-removing block 7 is 2.5 mm. When a stone is stuck in the groove, the rebound force generated by the deformation of the stone-removing block in the groove can accelerate the removal of the stone, and the local deformation can absorb energy when impacted, avoiding stress conduction to the body cord layer and reducing the risk of about 80% of the bulge.

[0033] The first shoulder block 1, the second shoulder block 2 and the second stone-removing block 7 are all arrow-shaped as a whole, and the arrows all point in the same direction of the tire circumferential direction, and in this embodiment, the arrows all point to the rear of the tire circumferential direction. The rear of the first shoulder block 1, the second shoulder block 2 and the second stone-removing block 7 has a protruding part forming the tip of the arrow, and the front has a recess forming the tail of the arrow, so that the first shoulder block 1 and the second shoulder block 2, and the second shoulder block 2 and the second stone-removing block 7 can form a interlocking structure in the tire circumferential direction by the protruding part and the recess, thereby improving the control ability on off-road surfaces.

[0034] The shoulder on the first shoulder block 1 adopts a convex shoulder profile 11, which is specifically Figure 1-3 As shown in FIG9 , the convex shoulder profile 11 is raised toward the top of the tire. The shoulder of the second shoulder pattern block 2 adopts a concave shoulder profile 12. Figure 1-3 As shown in Figures 9 and 9, the concave shoulder profile 12 is recessed toward the interior of the tire. These two shoulder profiles are evenly staggered along the tire circumference along with the first shoulder pattern block 1 and the second shoulder pattern block 2. When the vehicle travels on soft roads, the convex shoulder profile 11 generates centrifugal force to throw away mud, while the concave shoulder profile 12 forms a negative pressure area that accelerates the radial flow of mud, thereby improving the tire's ability to escape from soft roads and enhancing off-road capabilities.

[0035] The second rib 120 is circumferentially provided with second transverse grooves 121, each of which communicates with the first main groove 210 and the second main groove 220. The second transverse grooves 121 divide the second rib 120 into evenly arranged second pattern blocks, each of which remains independent of the other. The second transverse grooves 121 are arranged diagonally, with the left side lower and the right side higher, resulting in an oblique distribution of the second pattern blocks. The second pattern blocks are divided into two first center blocks 3 and two second center blocks 4 by intersecting second and third secondary grooves 132 and 133. The first and second center blocks 3 and 4 are staggered and independent of each other, resulting in a centrally symmetrical pattern for the second pattern blocks. The second secondary grooves 132 also communicate with the first main groove 210 and the second main groove 220 at their respective ends, and are approximately parallel to the second transverse grooves 121. The third auxiliary grooves 133 intersect the second transverse grooves 121, with both ends of the third auxiliary grooves 133 communicating with the adjacent second transverse grooves 121. In this embodiment, the angle between the third auxiliary grooves 133 and the second transverse grooves 121 is approximately 114°. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the groove depths of the second transverse grooves 121, the second auxiliary grooves 132, and the third auxiliary grooves 133 are consistent with those of the first pattern main grooves 210.

[0036] The first and second tread block units are both configured with protrusions and depressions on their profiles, which cooperate to form an interlocking structure. Specifically, the sides of the first and second tread block units facing the first main groove 210 are both zigzag-shaped, with the protrusions of each unit corresponding to the depressions of the other unit, forming an interlocking structure across the tire's width and enhancing off-road handling.

[0037] Overall, the first transverse grooves 111 connect sequentially with the second transverse grooves 121 through the first main grooves 210, allowing the first rib 110, the two first block units on the third rib 130, and the second block unit on the second rib 120 to form a complete tread block. A first row of stone blocks 6 is located at the intersection of the first transverse grooves 111, the second transverse grooves 121, and the first main grooves 210. Specifically, the first row of stone blocks 6 is disposed within the first main grooves 210. The depth of the first row of stone blocks 6 from the tread base is 2.0 to 3.0 mm. In this embodiment, the depth of the first row of stone blocks 6 from the tread base is 2.5 mm, meaning the thickness of the first row of stone blocks 6 is 2.5 mm, similar to the thickness of the second row of stone blocks 7. The first row of stone blocks 6 is shaped like a small triangular arrow, with the arrow pointing toward the second row of stone blocks 7.

[0038] The first shoulder pattern block 1, the second shoulder pattern block 2, the first center pattern block 3, and the second center pattern block 4 are all provided with a bottom protection block 8 at the bottom of the outer groove of the crown part. Figure 1-3 As shown, Figure 1 The tire bottom protection block 8 is shown but not painted black. Figure 2 、 3 The tire bottom protection block 8 is shown in black. The cross section of the tire bottom protection block 8 is as shown in FIG. Figure 8 As shown, its depth from the tire base d3 is 1.0-2.0mm, and its width is 2.0-3.0mm. The chamfer radius at its junction with the tread block is R, and the chamfer at its junction with the tread groove is R'. The angle between its outer wall and the vertical direction is α. In this embodiment, the tread protection block 8 has a depth of 1.5mm from the tire base d3, a width of 2.5mm, an R of 0.5mm, an R' of 1.0mm, and an α of 5°. This integrated design of the tread and groove bottom strengthens the tire groove bottom, prevents cracking, and ensures driving safety.

[0039] like Figure 1-3 As shown, the first shoulder block 1, the second shoulder block 2, the first center block 3, and the second center block 4 are all provided with stepped pattern edges and three-dimensional steel grooves, the steel grooves having a width of 0.7-0.8 mm and a depth of 3-9 mm. The details are as follows.

[0040] The side profile of the first shoulder block 1 facing the first main groove 210 is recessed into the first shoulder block 1, forming a first concave portion. This first concave portion divides the side profile into two sections: the first section is located near the front first transverse groove 111, and the second section is located near the rear first secondary groove 131. A first stepped tread edge 31 is provided in the first section of the first shoulder block 1, and a second stepped tread edge 32 is provided within the first concave portion. A transverse first steel plate groove 21 is also provided within the first shoulder block 1. The right end of this first steel plate groove 21 contacts the first concave portion, and the left end extends into the convex shoulder profile 11.

[0041] The side profile of the second shoulder block 2 facing the first main groove 210 is recessed into the second shoulder block 2, forming a second recessed portion. This second recessed portion divides the side profile into two sections: the first section is located near the front first secondary groove 131, and the second section is located near the rear first transverse groove 111. A third stepped tread edge 33 is provided in the first section of the second shoulder block 2, while a fourth stepped tread edge 34 is provided in the second recessed portion. A transverse second steel groove 22 is provided within the second shoulder block 2. The right end of this first steel groove 21 contacts the second recessed portion, while the left end extends into the concave shoulder profile 12.

[0042] The side profile of the first center tread block 3 facing the first main groove 210 is recessed into the first center tread block 3 to form a third recessed portion. This recessed portion divides the side profile into two sections: the first section is closer to the front first transverse groove 111, and the second section is closer to the rear first secondary groove 131. A fifth stepped edge 351 is provided on the first section of the first center tread block 3. The second section is curved, and the line segment closer to the first secondary groove 131 is provided on the first center tread block 3. A sixth stepped edge 36 is provided within the third recessed portion. The first center tread block 3 is internally provided with an oblique third steel groove 23 and a fourth steel groove 24. The third steel sheet groove 23 is almost parallel to the fifth stepped pattern edge 351, with one end in contact with the upper contour of the first center pattern block 3 and the other end located inside the first center pattern block 3; the fourth steel sheet groove 24 is almost parallel to the second auxiliary groove 132, with one end in contact with the lower contour of the first center pattern block 3 and the other end located inside the first center pattern block 3.

[0043] A seventh stepped edge 37 is provided on the side of the second center block 4 facing the first main groove 210. The side of the second center block 4 facing the second transverse groove 121 is recessed into the second center block 4 to form a fourth recessed portion. This fourth recessed portion divides the side into two sections: the first section is located near the first main groove 210 on the left, and the second section is located near the third secondary groove 133 on the right. An eighth stepped edge 38 is provided within the fourth recessed portion. A ninth stepped edge 39 is provided on the second center block 4 at a corner facing the second transverse groove 121 and the third secondary groove 133. An oblique fifth steel plate groove 25 is provided within the second center block 4. This fifth steel plate groove 25 is substantially parallel to the upper and right contours of the second center block 4. One end of the fifth steel plate groove 25 contacts the lower contour of the second center block 4, and the other end extends into the seventh stepped edge.

[0044] The cross sections of the first ladder pattern edge 31, the third ladder pattern edge 33, the fifth first ladder pattern edge 351, the fifth second ladder pattern edge 352, and the seventh ladder pattern edge 37 are as shown in FIG. Figure 4 As shown, the step height difference d1 is 15% to 20% of the main groove depth D of the pattern. In this embodiment, d1 is 2 mm, and the chamfer R is 0.5 mm. Figure 4 The stepped pattern edges shown can actively embed themselves into gaps on hard roads such as rocks and tree roots, producing a mechanical self-locking effect. At the same time, when the vehicle tilts on off-road sections, the low-area pattern blocks provide stable support, while the high-area pattern blocks continue to grip the ground, avoiding single-point instability.

[0045] The cross-sections of the second stepped pattern edge 32, the fourth stepped pattern edge 34, the sixth stepped pattern edge 36, and the eighth stepped pattern edge 38 are as follows: Figure 5 As shown, the step height difference d2 is 30% to 40% of the main groove depth D of the pattern. In this embodiment, d2 is 4 mm, and the chamfer R' is 1.0 mm. The cross section of the ninth ladder pattern edge 39 is as follows: Figure 6 As shown, the step height difference d1 is 15% to 20% of the main groove depth D of the pattern. In this embodiment, d1 is 2 mm, and the chamfer R is 0.5 mm. Figure 5 and Figure 6 The stepped tread edges shown provide a tread pattern with a staggered, high-low block structure. The higher blocks directly contact the ground to enhance grip, while the lower blocks serve as a support base, maintaining overall carcass rigidity. This layered structure enables the tire to maintain strong traction and ensure driving stability on complex terrain.

[0046] Furthermore, a first pattern block cut corner 41 is provided at a corner of the first center pattern block 3 facing the interior of the second pattern block unit. Figure 7As shown, the angled cut is created by chamfering, with the vertical height h covering only a portion of the first center tread block 3. In this embodiment, h is 5 mm. Chamfering the sharp edges of the tread blocks prevents breakage and chipping under extreme impacts, improving driving stability. Furthermore, the angled cut can increase the tire's tear resistance by 50%, extending its service life on complex off-road terrain.
