Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of tire tread patterns, in particular to a full steel radial truck tire. BACKGROUND

[0002] Full steel radial truck tires are widely used in heavy load, long distance and mixed road transportation scenarios, and the tread pattern needs to balance wear resistance, traction, handling, drainage and mud removal, self-cleaning and damage resistance. The existing truck tires usually adopt a structure of multiple circumferentially extending longitudinal main grooves combined with rib / bar pattern blocks to provide guidance and drainage capacity. However, under heavy load and complex road conditions, gravel and sand are easily squeezed into the pattern groove to form stone trapping, which causes the groove wall to be cut or the groove bottom to be stress concentrated, thereby causing early failure such as groove bottom cracking, alligator cracking and chunking. At the same time, the shoulder area is subjected to large shear and bending deformation under turning and braking conditions, and is also prone to shoulder tearing or crack propagation, affecting the service life and safety of the tire.

[0003] Chinese patent CN103507573A discloses a radial tire tread pattern structure, which sets a Z-shaped central groove extending in the circumferential direction in the center of the tread, sets a second main groove on both sides, sets a lateral groove to connect the central groove and the second main groove, and sets a transverse sipe on the shoulder pattern block to balance the traction, wet performance and certain anti-stone trapping requirements. However, this type of solution focuses on improving drainage and edge effect through the central Z-shaped groove and the connecting groove, and the measures for stress relief and anti-groove bottom cracking in the longitudinal main groove bottom area under heavy load conditions are relatively limited, and the problems of groove bottom cracking and groove wall damage caused by stone trapping may still occur.

[0004] Chinese patent CN105667218A provides a tire tread pattern structure, which sets staggered "stone removal blocks / stone blocks" structures in the groove area to form a protective and stone removal effect on the side of the groove to reduce the risk of damage to the groove bottom by sharp objects. However, this solution may still have problems such as mud and sand accumulation, complex manufacturing and demolding under complex road conditions, making it difficult to simultaneously balance efficient self-cleaning and inhibit groove bottom crack propagation.

[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a tread pattern structure more suitable for heavy load conditions, which comprehensively optimizes the groove wall / groove bottom structure of the longitudinal main groove, the connecting method of the rib inner shallow groove and the arrangement of the tread transition compound, to further improve the stone removal and self-cleaning ability while ensuring guidance and drainage.
