Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to a lightweight new energy vehicle tire and its manufacturing method, belonging to the field of vehicle tire technology. Background Technology

[0002] Tire carcass cords are the skeleton material in a tire, a primary reinforcing material that supports the load transmitted to the tire and maintains its shape. Key properties required for tire carcass cords include strength, adhesion, modulus, and fatigue resistance; typically, strength, adhesion, and fatigue resistance are related to tire durability.

[0003] In existing technologies, steel cords are mostly used to support the tire in its ply layer to achieve its function. While steel cords effectively improve the tire's resistance to compression and impact, the use of steel cords throughout the ply layer increases the tire's weight, causing the vehicle to consume more energy during operation. To address these issues, existing technologies have attempted to reduce tire weight by weaving aramid fibers with steel cords. However, due to the high brittleness of aramid fibers and difficulties in bonding them to the rubber matrix, the amount of aramid fibers added is relatively low. Although this reduces tire weight to some extent, the tire remains quite heavy. Furthermore, some existing technologies use carbon fiber weaving with steel cords to achieve tire lightweighting. However, the bond between carbon fiber and the rubber matrix is ​​not strong, and carbon fiber has a low elongation at break, which may lead to tearing or damage to the ply structure during use.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a new energy vehicle tire that is lightweight, has strong tear resistance, and good stability. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the aforementioned issues, a lightweight new energy vehicle tire and its manufacturing method are provided. The cord layer in this lightweight new energy vehicle tire is obtained by weaving together three types of cords: modified aramid fiber cord, carbon fiber cord, and steel wire cord. This effectively improves the tire's tensile strength, tear strength, and tire shape stability, while also effectively reducing the tire's weight, improving product durability, and reducing energy consumption during vehicle operation.

[0006] One aspect of this application provides a lightweight new energy vehicle tire, comprising: a tread, a sidewall, a buffer layer, a cord layer, and a bead; The cord layer is obtained by weaving together modified aramid fiber cord, carbon fiber cord, and steel wire cord; The amount of modified aramid fiber cord added is not less than 70%; The method for preparing the modified aramid fiber cord is as follows: S10: After cleaning and drying the aramid fiber, it is subjected to plasma treatment to obtain aramid fiber 1; S20: Aramid fiber 1 is quickly placed into a monomer solution, an initiator is added, and under the protection of an inert gas, it is soaked at 50-60°C for 1-2 hours, followed by washing and drying to obtain aramid fiber 2. The monomer is selected from at least one of methyl methacrylate, ethyl acrylate, and glycidyl acrylate. S30: Add aramid fiber 2 to an aqueous solution of sulfur-containing silane coupling agent, soak at 30-40℃ for 2-3 hours, then wash and dry to obtain modified aramid fiber; S40: A modified aramid fiber cord is obtained by twisting multiple strands of modified aramid fiber monofilaments together.

[0007] By first subjecting aramid fibers to plasma treatment, high-energy particles bombard the surface of the aramid fibers, causing the surface molecular chains to break and generating free radicals or unsaturated bonds. Then, the aramid fibers 1 obtained after treatment are quickly placed into a monomer solution, and an initiator is added to trigger the free radicals on the aramid fibers 1 to attack the monomers, thereby achieving a grafting reaction between the monomers and the aramid fibers 1. This introduces alkyl and ester groups, improving the brittleness and flexibility of the aramid fibers 1.

[0008] Aramid fiber 2 is added to an aqueous solution of sulfur-containing silane coupling agent. The sulfur-containing silane coupling agent undergoes hydrolysis in the aqueous solution to generate reactive silanols that can react with some hydroxyl groups remaining on the surface of aramid fiber 2. By adjusting the pH of the aqueous solution of sulfur-containing silane coupling agent, the condensation of silanol bonds can be achieved, thus realizing the combination of sulfur-containing silane coupling agent and aramid fiber 2. This introduces sulfur groups onto aramid fiber 2. During the subsequent tire vulcanization process, the thiol groups (-SH) or disulfide bonds (-SS-) introduced on the surface of the modified aramid fiber can form covalent bonds (-CS-) with sulfur in the rubber, thereby modifying the connection strength between the aramid fiber cord and the rubber substrate.

[0009] Optionally, the specific operation of plasma treatment in step S10 is as follows: Aramid fibers are placed in a plasma generator and treated for 15-20 minutes at a pressure of 20-25 Pa, an output power of 160-180 W, and a temperature of 5-10 °C.

[0010] Plasma treatment under the above conditions can effectively attack the surface of aramid fibers, promote the generation of free radicals and hydroxyl groups on the surface, facilitate subsequent modification, and prevent aramid fibers from being over-treated, which would affect the performance of aramid fibers. It can not only promote subsequent modification but also ensure that the performance of aramid fibers is not affected.

[0011] Optionally, in step S20, the weight ratio of aramid fiber 1 to monomer is 1:(2.5-3).

[0012] When aramid fiber 1 and monomer are in this ratio, the alkyl and ester groups on the monomer can undergo free radical grafting reaction under the action of an initiator, ensuring that the monomer can be effectively grafted onto aramid fiber 1. Methyl, ethyl and ester side groups are introduced into the molecular chain of aramid fiber, and the steric hindrance is used to break the tight packing of molecular chains, reduce crystallinity, and increase the slippage ability between molecular chains. This significantly improves the flexibility of aramid fiber 1, neutralizes the brittleness of aramid fiber itself, and makes it better suited for use in tire manufacturing.

[0013] Optionally, the monomer solution concentration is 10%-15%.

[0014] When the monomer concentration is between 5% and 10%, it is beneficial to form relatively uniform graft polymer chains with a narrow molecular weight distribution. Within this concentration range, the free radical-initiated polymerization rate is relatively mild, and monomer molecules have sufficient space to uniformly graft onto the aramid fiber surface, avoiding excessive chain growth and aggregation caused by excessively high monomer concentrations. Grafting aramid fibers within this concentration range significantly improves their flexibility and effectively enhances their resistance to bending fatigue, thereby increasing the service life of aramid fibers in tires.

[0015] When the concentration is above 10%, the grafting reaction rate accelerates, and the grafting rate increases significantly. However, excessively high monomer concentrations may cause a rapid increase in the viscosity of the reaction system, hindering the diffusion of free radicals generated by initiator decomposition, resulting in excessively rapid local polymerization rates. This leads to a wider molecular weight distribution of the grafted polymer and may even result in uneven grafting. If the concentration is below 10%, the grafting reaction can proceed effectively, but due to the limited monomer content, the number of effective groups grafted onto the aramid fibers will decrease, making the modification effect on the aramid fibers less significant.

[0016] Optionally, the monomer is selected from methyl methacrylate and glycidyl acrylate in a weight ratio of 1:(1.2-1.5).

[0017] Modifying aramid fibers with a combination of methyl methacrylate and hydroxyethyl acrylate can introduce alkyl side groups, ester groups, and epoxy groups. When the epoxy groups are subsequently bonded to rubber, they react with the amino groups in the amide bonds on the surface of the aramid fibers under high temperature during vulcanization to form -CO- covalent bonds, which enhances the bonding force with the aramid fibers and improves the shear resistance of the modified aramid fibers.

[0018] Optionally, the initiator is either benzoyl peroxide or azobisisobutyronitrile.

[0019] Optionally, in step S30, the weight ratio of aramid fiber 2 to sulfur-containing silane coupling agent is 1:(2-2.5).

[0020] At this ratio, aramid fiber 2 can be better combined with sulfur-containing silane coupling agent, modifying aramid fiber 2 and introducing mercapto groups. During the vulcanization process in tire manufacturing, at the vulcanization temperature, -SH combines with the active sulfur atoms in the rubber to form stable thioether bonds. Disulfide or tetrasulfide silanes can decompose into active sulfur free radicals at high temperatures, thereby achieving combination with rubber molecular chains, improving the tightness of the connection between aramid fiber cords and rubber substrate, and improving the tear resistance and shear resistance of tires.

[0021] Optionally, the sulfur-containing silane coupling agent is at least one of 3-mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane, γ-mercaptopropyltriethoxysilane, bis-[3-(triethoxysilane)propyl]-disulfide, and bis-[γ-(triethoxysilane)propyl]-tetrasulfide.

[0022] Optionally, the carbon fiber cord is obtained by twisting multiple carbon fiber monofilaments, and the diameter of the carbon fiber cord, modified aramid fiber cord, and steel wire cord is 0.40-0.60 mm.

[0023] Optionally, carbon fiber monofilaments and steel wires are soaked in a mixed solution containing resorcinol, glycerol and water for 2-4 hours, then washed, dried and twisted to obtain carbon fiber cords and steel wire cords.

[0024] Soaking carbon fiber monofilaments and steel wires in a mixed solution of resorcinol, glycerol, and water introduces phenyl and hydroxyl groups onto their surfaces. During the weaving process, carbon fiber cords, steel wire cords, and modified aramid cords are co-woven, connecting the carbon fiber cords and steel wire cords with the modified aramid cords. In subsequent tire manufacturing, the phenyl and hydroxyl groups react with the amide bonds on the aramid fibers, increasing the connection strength between the carbon fiber cords, steel wire cords, and modified aramid cords, thus improving the overall shear resistance of the tire.

[0025] Optionally, the mass ratio of resorcinol, glycerol and water is 1:(0.5-0.8):(5-7).

[0026] Optionally, the weave density of the cord layer is 40-50 EPI.

[0027] At this weave density, it can effectively provide support for the tire while also effectively reducing the tire's weight, achieving tire lightweighting, without affecting the tire's load-bearing capacity and puncture resistance.

[0028] According to another aspect of this application, a method for preparing a lightweight new energy vehicle tire is provided, comprising the following steps: S100: Rubber is mixed to obtain a compound; S200: The compounded rubber is made into the tread and sidewall. The tread, sidewall, cord layer, buffer layer and bead are combined and shaped, and then vulcanized to obtain a lightweight new energy vehicle tire.

[0029] Optionally, the vulcanization temperature is 150-180℃ and the time is 40-60 min.

[0030] The beneficial effects of this application include, but are not limited to: 1. The lightweight new energy vehicle tire according to this application has a cord layer made by mixing three types of cords: modified aramid fiber cord, carbon fiber cord, and steel wire cord. This effectively improves the tensile strength, tear strength, and shape stability of the tire, while also effectively reducing the weight of the tire, improving the durability of the product, and reducing the energy consumption of the vehicle during operation.

[0031] 2. According to the lightweight new energy vehicle tire of this application, aramid fiber is modified to introduce methyl, ethyl and ester side groups into the aramid molecular chain. The steric hindrance is used to break the tight packing of the molecular chain, reduce the crystallinity, and increase the slippage ability between molecular chains, so as to significantly improve the flexibility of the modified aramid fiber.

[0032] 3. According to the lightweight new energy vehicle tire of this application, mercapto groups are introduced on aramid fibers. During the vulcanization process in tire manufacturing, at the vulcanization temperature, -SH combines with active sulfur atoms in the rubber to form stable thioether bonds; disulfide or tetrasulfide silanes can decompose into active sulfur free radicals at high temperatures, thereby achieving combination with rubber molecular chains, improving the tightness of the connection between aramid fiber cords and rubber substrate, and improving the tire's tear resistance and shear resistance.
