Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of tire structure design technology, and in particular to a low-noise new energy vehicle tire with anti-groove bottom cracking and its optimized design method and system. Background Technology

[0002] Tire tread grooves serve multiple functions, including drainage, heat dissipation, grip, and block compliance, while also directly affecting rolling noise and local durability. During vehicle operation, the main tread grooves, upon entering the contact area, form a nearly closed or semi-closed airflow channel with the road surface. The compression, expulsion, and re-intake of air within the grooves easily generate air pumping noise and groove resonance noise. To reduce this type of noise, existing technologies typically involve adding additional structures to the tread groove area to alter the airflow state, acoustic impedance conditions, or equivalent resonance paths, thereby attenuating narrowband noise peaks.

[0003] For example, Chinese utility model patent CN204340561U discloses a noise-reducing tire tread groove structure. This structure involves placing a Helmholtz resonator connected to the main tire groove within one side wall of the groove. The Helmholtz resonator consists of a resonant cavity and a small-hole channel, forming a T-shaped structure. The noise of the tire tread is reduced through the noise-absorbing effect of the Helmholtz resonator. It also points out that existing technologies also employ methods to disrupt the direction of the compressed airflow and destroy the gas vortex within the groove by placing multiple small rectangular blocks or other non-smooth structures within the main groove to achieve noise reduction. However, such methods present challenges in mold manufacturing. In other words, setting additional noise-reducing structures around the tread groove area is a common noise reduction approach in this field, but such structural designs typically require a balance between noise reduction effectiveness and ease of manufacturing.

[0004] For example, the non-patented literature *Fatigue Life Prediction of a Groove Bottom of Green All Steel Radial Rubber Tires* (Kangyu Luo, Hao Kong, Zhanfu Yong, published in *Journal of Applied Polymer Science*, 2025, Vol. 142, Article No. e57002, DOI: 10.1002 / app.57002) discloses research on fatigue life at the bottom of tire tread grooves. This literature points out that crack failure is prone to occur in the tire tread groove area and predicts the fatigue life at the bottom of the groove based on finite element analysis and damage parameter evaluation. This literature shows that the bottom of the groove is a locally mechanically sensitive area of ​​the tread, and the initiation of fatigue cracks there is closely related to local stress and strain concentration. Therefore, when introducing new additional structures in the tread groove area, especially near the bottom, in addition to considering noise reduction effects, attention should also be paid to their impact on the local mechanical state of the groove bottom and the risk of crack initiation.

[0005] Based on the aforementioned existing technologies, it can be seen that current tire tread groove noise reduction designs mainly focus on altering the airflow state or acoustic resonance conditions within the groove by introducing resonant cavities, microstructures, or other additional structures, thereby reducing groove noise. Simultaneously, some studies analyze the local stress and damage behavior of the groove bottom region from a fatigue life perspective. However, existing technologies lack a systematic and unified public disclosure regarding the changes in the local mechanical response at the groove bottom after the introduction of noise reduction structures, particularly the impact on groove bottom stress, strain amplification, and the migration of the maximum stress area.

[0006] Especially when sound-absorbing grooves, resonant cavities, or similar additional groove structures are installed near the bottom of the groove, although this may improve tire noise performance, it also changes the local cross-sectional stiffness and load transfer path of the groove bottom. This can lead to new stress concentration points or strain concentration zones in the groove bottom area, increasing the risk of groove bottom crack initiation. Currently, there is a lack of a method to compare stress and strain point-by-point at the same groove bottom sampling node under conditions of additional and no additional structures, and to comprehensively evaluate structural parameters by combining extreme value location migration. Therefore, in actual development, the thickness, groove position, or size parameters of noise reduction structures are often mainly determined by experience, making it difficult to simultaneously achieve both noise reduction effect and groove bottom crack resistance.

[0007] Furthermore, the thickness, depth, and geometric transition of the additional noise reduction structure directly affect the mold processing difficulty, dimensional consistency, and mass production stability. Without quantitative optimization data to address local durability risks at the bottom of the trench, insufficient noise reduction may occur, while excessive local geometric weakening could increase the principal stress and strain at the bottom of the trench, inducing bottom cracks, root cracks, or early fatigue failure.

[0008] Therefore, there is an urgent need for an optimization method for the thickness of the sound insulation groove at the bottom of the tire tread groove, in order to solve the problem that it is difficult to balance noise reduction performance, local durability performance of the groove bottom, and manufacturing feasibility after the sound insulation groove is set, thereby reducing the risk of groove bottom cracks and improving the overall service life and engineering application reliability of the tire. Summary of the Invention

By uniformly measuring and constraining the stress and strain amplification effects and extreme value location migration at the same groove bottom sampling nodes for grooved / grooveless models, a joint optimization model with thickness as the core variable is constructed. This model determines the optimal groove thickness that can suppress groove resonance / pump noise, control the amplification of principal stress and principal strain at the groove bottom, and avoid hot spot migration.

[0051] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0052] This invention addresses the geometry of the "sound insulation groove" at the bottom of the tire tread groove, aiming to determine the thickness of the sound insulation groove without significantly increasing manufacturing complexity. To balance the noise reduction mechanism of the trench with the local durability constraints of the trench bottom, two sets of three-dimensional finite element models were established during implementation: one is a "baseline model" without the sound insulation trench, and the other is a "parametric model" with the sound insulation trench, where the trench thickness is... This is the sole or dominant optimization variable. Both models maintain the same geometric partitions and mesh seeds within the tread-belt-carcass range to ensure the repeatability of subsequent "same-node comparisons." The nominal working condition is a static load condition with rated internal pressure and nominal wheel load, employing rigid plate contact, hard contact normal, and penalty function tangential friction (dry or wet road surfaces can be used as additional verification). A unified local coordinate system (circumferential) is established at the bottom of the trench. Horizontal , legal direction ), and project the stress / strain tensor onto this coordinate system, hereinafter referred to as All refer to the component values ​​in this local coordinate system. Sampling points are selected along the centerline of the trench bottom with equal arc lengths, and points are also taken within the transverse microstrip to form a unified "trench bottom sampling node set". This provides a data baseline for subsequent point-by-point comparisons and determination of extreme value locations.

[0053] To quantify the impact of the sound insulation groove on the local response at the bottom of the trench, at the same sampling node Above, the "ratio of the same node" is calculated for the corresponding components of the two models with and without slots to obtain the magnification factor:

[0054] ;

[0055] Parameter definition: For nodes Location, thickness Lower component amplification factor; This represents the component value of the slotted model at this node; This represents the component value of the slotless model at this node; To avoid numerical divergence caused by an excessively small denominator, adjustments can be made during implementation. Set a minimum positive lower limit.

[0056] Regarding the determination of extreme value locations, the criteria are as follows: "no groove reference" and "grooved reference". "Locate each component in two states" The extreme node indexes are used, and the spatial migration of "new hotspots" is quantified using geometric coordinates:

[0057] ;

[0058] Parameter definition: For components In thickness Extreme position migration amount; The node's geometric coordinate vector; For the grooved model in components Extreme value node index; For slotless models in components Extreme value node index; It is the Euclidean norm. Preferably, it can also be the arc length parameter of the centerline of the trench bottom. The migration amount is represented by the difference in arc length within the domain to enhance the contrast consistency between different grids.

[0059] For engineering judgments, the representative value of the magnification factor is... The preferred method is to use the "maximum value or higher quantile not lower than P80" as the representative value for positional migration. The preferred approach is to use a "weighted average across components", which reflects both the worst-case scenario and statistical robustness.

[0060] Taking into account both the "magnification factor spectrum" (intensity / deformation risk) and the "hotspot migration risk," the construction thickness is determined. Joint objective function:

[0061] ;

[0062] Parameter definition: For thickness The objective function value; The weighting coefficients of each component are... It can be set according to product objectives (durability priority / handling stability priority / comfort priority); The weights for the location migration terms; For components The representative magnification factor (maximum value or P80 to P95 high quantile); This represents the weighted representative value of the multi-component location migration. The optimal solution for thickness is obtained under the condition of satisfying engineering constraints:

[0063] ;

[0064] Parameter definition: For thickness feasible region (e.g. 0.5–2.5 mm or discrete set containing 0.5 / 1.0 / 2.0 mm); These are the engineering thresholds for primary principal stress, primary principal strain, and position migration, respectively. When expanding the operating conditions, different wheel loads, friction, and temperatures can be weighted according to the product line to form a comprehensive target and judgment for multiple operating conditions.

[0065] To facilitate engineering interpretation, the results of the same node for the three sound insulation groove thicknesses of "0.5mm, 1.0mm, and 2.0mm" and the "grooveless reference" are now presented as intuitive magnification factors (all are ratios of the same node, with the percentage increase in parentheses; the sign and direction are omitted when comparing S). 22 (Amplitude value)

[0066] 1) Stress components (local coordinates)

[0067] —S 11 :

[0068] 0.5mm: (+334%); 1.0mm: (+209%); 2.0mm: (+326%).

[0069] —S 22 (Amplitude value):

[0070] 0.5mm: (+1.37%); 1.0mm: (+1.00%); 2.0mm: (-1.19%).

[0071] —S 12 :

[0072] 0.5mm: (+87.6%); 1.0mm: (+93.9%); 2.0mm: (+95.0%).

[0073] 2) Strain components (local coordinates)

[0074] —LE 11 :

[0075] 0.5mm: (+263%); 1.0mm: (+290%); 2.0mm: (+251%).

[0077] 0.5mm: (+1.53%); 1.0mm: (+6.06%); 2.0mm: (+6.08%).

[0078] —LE 12 :

[0079] 0.5mm: (+0.34%); 1.0mm: (+0.12%); 2.0mm: (+1.01%).

[0080] 3) Extreme value location migration (qualitative judgment)

[0081] From the "Comparison of Locations with Maximum Stress / Strain" entry, we can see that after adding the sound insulation groove, S 11 With S 12 The point of maximum stress, and LE 11 The maximum strain points all appeared as "new hot spots" at the contact points of the sound insulation grooves at the bottom of the trench, migrating relative to the hot spots on the non-groove reference surface; while S 22 LE22 LE 12 The extreme values ​​of S remain essentially unchanged or change very little. Therefore, in this dataset, for S... 11 S 12 LE 11 have For the remaining components .

[0082] The following engineering principles can be derived from the above results: First, S 11 With LE 11 The amplification is most significant, making it a key component that must be constrained during thickness optimization; secondly, a 2.0mm thickness has the most significant impact on S. 22 The situation has eased somewhat (the amplitude has decreased slightly), affecting S. 12 Slightly disadvantageous; thirdly, LE 11 The overall strain increases with increasing thickness, thus validating the empirical conclusion that "the thinner the material, the smaller the overall strain." Fourth, the hotspot migration mainly occurs in S... 11 S 12 LE 11 Appropriate transfer weights need to be added to the objective function. .

[0083] The following are optimized implementation examples based on different engineering focuses.

[0084] 1. Test conditions and evaluation criteria (applicable to all cases)

[0085] Operating conditions: nominal inflation pressure and nominal wheel load static load grounding; establish a unified local coordinate system at the bottom of the trench and extract the same node results of the sampling nodes at the bottom of the trench.

[0086] Indicator: Primary principal stress S 11 Secondary principal stress S 22 Shear stress S 12 One main strain LE 11 Secondary principal strain LE 22 Shear strain LE 12 The "maximum value position" is used to determine whether new hotspots have emerged and whether their positions have shifted (qualitative).

[0087] Thickness candidates: 0.5mm, 1.0mm, 2.0mm, compared with their respective "grooveless reference" at the same node.

[0088] Table 1 Summary of results for the same node (bottom nodes, values ​​from the original data).

[0089]

[0090] Note: Each thickness has a different "grooveless reference," so the magnification factor needs to be calculated as a ratio to the corresponding reference. However, when comparing thicknesses laterally, directly comparing the absolute values ​​at the same thickness also has engineering significance (e.g., whose S...). 11 Smallest, whose LE 11 minimum etc.).

[0091] 2. Example 1 (Scheme of the present invention, S) 11 (Durability priority): Select 1.0mm.

[0092] Selection Criteria: The dominant parameters for the initiation of trench bottom cracks are the primary principal stress / principal strain near the trench bottom and its hot spot migration. This invention improves w in the joint objective. S11 With α (transfer weight), to "suppress S" 11 With "suppressing new hotspots" as the main objective, after comprehensively evaluating 0.5 / 1.0 / 2.0mm, 1.0mm was determined to be the optimal thickness zone.

[0093] Comparison and Results:

[0094] Compared to 0.5mm: S 11 It decreased from 0.740661 to 0.526599, a drop of 28.9%; LE 11 Slightly higher (0.119971→0.127705, +6.45%), but controllable within the threshold E1 of this invention; S 22 The amplitude change was minimal (-1.28701→-1.29456, +0.59%).

[0095] Compared to 2.0mm: S 11 Significantly lower (0.526599 vs 0.724402, 27.3% lower); S 22 It offers a slight advantage over 2.0mm (-1.25591 is closer to zero), but it's not enough to offset the S... 11 Increased fatigue risk.

[0096] Maximum value location: All three thicknesses will be at S 11 / LE 11 A new hotspot appears "near the groove contact area"; 1.0mm without introducing additional components, with the lowest S 11 This achieves the most effective suppression of "new hotspot intensity," thereby significantly reducing the probability of trench bottom crack initiation.

[0097] Technical Results Summary: To achieve the goal of "solving trench bottom cracks," a thickness of 1.0 mm minimizes the peak principal tensile stress, satisfying the requirements. and At the same time, maintain S 22 / S 12 Within a controllable range, the overall durability risk is the lowest.

[0098] 3. Comparative Example 1 (thinner groove, NVH friendly but not good for durability): 0.5mm was selected.

[0099] Results and limitations:

[0100] 0.5mm LE 11 The absolute value is the smallest among the three thicknesses (0.119971), which is beneficial for overall strain control and comfort; however, S 11 It is 0.740661, the highest among the three thicknesses, and S 12 It also rose significantly (0.583835), indicating a strong new hotspot at the bottom of the trough.

[0101] While this configuration has the advantage of suppressing overall strain with thin grooves, the principal tensile stress peak is too high, which is consistent with the risk of easy cracking at the bottom of the groove after adding grooves in practice, and does not meet the durability priority target / threshold configuration of the present invention.

[0102] Conclusion: As a comparative example, 0.5mm demonstrates advantages in the "noise reduction / strain" direction, but in the crucial S... 11 The indicators are the most unfavorable, and it cannot achieve the technical goal of "solving trench bottom cracks".

[0103] 4. Comparative Example 2 (thicker groove, favorable for transverse / shear stress but not ideal for principal tensile stress): 2.0mm was selected.

[0104] Results and limitations:

[0105] 2.0mm to S 22 There was a slight mitigation (amplitude from -1.27103 to -1.25591), consistent with the lateral / mass stability objective; however, S 11 The value reached 0.724402, significantly higher than 1.0 mm; S 12 Also high (0.603744).

[0106] LE 11 The value is 0.127188, which is higher than 0.5 mm and slightly lower than 1.0 mm, but the peak value of the principal tensile stress is still relatively large; at the same time, the new hot spot is still located in the "groove contact area", and the migration fact has not been fundamentally changed.

[0107] Conclusion: 2.0mm has a local advantage in handling stability, but it cannot achieve the overall goal of "noise reduction + crack resistance". It is used as a comparative example to prove the durability superiority of 1.0mm.

[0108] 5. Example 2 (Optional strategy of this invention, LE-preferred silent wire): Select 0.5mm

[0109] When the product line primarily targets "quiet / comfortable and low overall strain," this invention switches the weight to w. LEThe primary α is moderate, and a thickness of 0.5 mm is preferred. Its LE 11 Minimum (0.119971), LE 22 / LE 12 It is also close to the benchmark; to offset S 11 To mitigate the higher risk, this invention employs process fillets and micro-grooves in S6 to reduce localized stress concentration, and sets stricter factory release criteria and sampling frequency for A1. This example demonstrates that the framework of this invention can achieve trade-off optimization and manufacturing closed-loop according to strategy templates for different objectives.

[0110] 6. Example 3 (Optional strategy of this invention, lateral / shear priority handling line): Select 2.0mm

[0111] When the project focuses on the lateral / shear stability of the blocks, the weight is configured as wS 22 +wS 12 wS 22 +wS 12 wS 22 +wS 12 High, medium migration weight, resulting in a preferred size of 2.0mm: S 22 Slight easing, S 12 Approaching 1.0mm; for controlling S 11 The high side effects are addressed by combining the formulation and geometry (such as the groove bottom transition radius and groove chamfer) in S6 with mold compensation and local smoothing, and a criterion of "hot spots not migrating to the groove bottom center" is set on the durability test bench. This example demonstrates the advantages of this invention: "switchy strategies and implementable constraints".

[0112] 7. Conclusion

[0113] Comparison of 0.5 / 2.0mm: 1.0mm in the dominant parameter S of trench bottom cracking 11 The above decreased by 28.9% and 27.3% respectively, without introducing a significant S. 22 Deterioration, but overall durability is optimal;

[0114] Hotspot migration control: New hotspots appeared in all three thicknesses, but the 1.0mm thickness passed the lowest S... 11 The peak value achieves optimal suppression of "new hotspot intensity," meeting the technical objective of "preventing trench bottom cracking."

[0115] Framework versatility: When the target is shifted to "overall strain priority" or "lateral / shear priority", the present invention can switch weights and thresholds to obtain the optimal alternatives of 0.5mm and 2.0mm respectively. Through the mold / process compensation closed loop of S6, different product lines can achieve a quantifiable optimal balance between "noise reduction, crack resistance and manufacturability".
