Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of tires, and in particular, to a tire structure for improving the extreme handling performance of a vehicle. Background Art

[0002] Tires are circular, ground-contacting, rolling, elastic rubber products used on various vehicles and machinery. Typically mounted on metal rims, they support the vehicle's body, cushion external impacts, maintain contact with the road, and ensure vehicle performance. Tires are often used in complex and demanding conditions, enduring various deformations, loads, forces, and high and low temperature exposure. Therefore, they must exhibit high load-bearing, traction, and cushioning properties. They must also possess high wear and flex resistance, as well as low rolling resistance and heat buildup.

[0003] To improve handling performance during driving, existing tires use an asymmetric tread block design to enhance tire handling performance. However, during driving, the tires are still subjected to very high pressure. After long-term driving, the tread blocks will still be squeezed and deformed, which will reduce the tire's handling performance, hinder the driver's normal driving, and shorten the tire's service life. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to make up for the above shortcomings, the present application provides a tire structure that improves the vehicle's extreme handling performance, aiming to improve the problem that the tire is subjected to very large pressure, and the tread blocks will still be squeezed and deformed after long-term driving, which will reduce the tire's handling performance, be detrimental to the driver's normal driving, and reduce the tire's service life.

[0005] An embodiment of the present application provides a tire structure for improving the extreme handling performance of a vehicle, including a tire tread.

[0006] A plurality of transverse pattern grooves are arranged on the tire tread, a locking strip is arranged inside each of the transverse pattern grooves, and two sides of the locking strip are respectively connected to opposite surfaces of the inner wall of the transverse pattern groove.

[0007] In a specific embodiment, the locking strip is wavy, and each crest and trough of the locking strip is respectively connected to the opposite surface of the inner wall of the transverse pattern groove.

[0008] In a specific embodiment, the contact points between each crest and trough of the locking strip and the inner wall of the transverse pattern groove are extended to form a contact surface.

[0009] In a specific embodiment, the curvature of the contact surface between each crest and trough of the locking strip is adapted to the inner wall of the transverse pattern groove.

[0010] In a specific embodiment, longitudinal pattern grooves are further provided on the tire tread.

[0011] Beneficial effect: By arranging the locking strip inside the transverse pattern groove, when the tire tread is squeezed during driving, the locking strip can support the transverse pattern groove, reduce the deformation speed of the pattern blocks on the tire tread, and improve the overall rigidity of the pattern blocks on the tire tread, thereby improving the handling performance of the vehicle when driving, enhancing the driving confidence of the driver and passengers, and extending the service life of the tire. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0012] In order to more clearly illustrate the technical solutions of the implementation methods of the present application, the following is a brief introduction to the drawings required for use in the implementation methods. It should be understood that the following drawings only show certain embodiments of the present application and therefore should not be regarded as limiting the scope. For ordinary technicians in this field, other relevant drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without paying any creative work.

[0013] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a tire structure for improving the extreme handling performance of a vehicle provided by an embodiment of the present application;

[0014] Figure 2 Provided for the implementation of this application Figure 1 A in the middle is an enlarged structural diagram;

[0015] In the figure: 1-tire tread; 2-transverse pattern groove; 3-locking strip; 4-longitudinal pattern groove. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0016] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application.

[0017] See also Figure 1-Figure 2 The present application provides a tire structure for improving the extreme handling performance of a vehicle, including a tire tread 1.

[0018] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2The tire tread 1 is provided with several transverse grooves 2, located at the shoulders of the transverse grooves 2. A locking strip 3 is provided inside each transverse groove 2, with both sides of the locking strip 3 connected to the opposing inner walls of the transverse groove 2. The tire tread 1 is also provided with longitudinal grooves 4. The locking strips 3 provided inside the transverse grooves 2 support the transverse grooves 2 when the tire tread 1 is squeezed during driving. This reduces the deformation rate of the tread blocks on the tire tread 1 and increases the overall rigidity of the tread blocks. This improves the vehicle's handling performance, enhances the driver's confidence, and increases the tire's service life.

[0019] In this embodiment, the locking strip 3 is wavy in shape, with each crest and trough of the locking strip 3 connected to the opposing inner wall of the transverse groove 2. The points of contact between each crest and trough of the locking strip 3 and the opposing inner wall of the transverse groove 2 are extended to form a contact surface. The curvature of the contact surface between each crest and trough of the locking strip 3 matches the inner wall of the transverse groove 2. The wavy design of the locking strip 3 reduces the weight of the locking strip 3 while ensuring support for the transverse groove 2, thereby reducing the weight of the entire tire.

[0020] In specific configurations, the locking strip 3 can be elastic or rigid. It can be made of a material with good elasticity and wear resistance to provide a certain elastic cushioning effect within the transverse groove 2, while a rigid material provides more stable support for the transverse groove 2. Furthermore, the height of the locking strip 3 should be lower than that of the transverse groove 2.

[0021] The working principle of the tire structure that improves the vehicle's extreme handling performance:

[0022] By arranging the locking strip 3 inside the transverse pattern groove 2, when the tire tread 1 is squeezed during driving, the locking strip 3 can support the transverse pattern groove 2, reduce the deformation speed of the pattern blocks of the tire tread 1, and improve the overall rigidity of the pattern blocks of the tire tread 1, thereby improving the handling performance of the vehicle when driving, enhancing the driving confidence of the driver and passengers, and increasing the service life of the tire.

[0023] The foregoing is merely an embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present application. Various modifications and variations are possible for those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present application shall be included within the scope of protection of the present application. It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters represent similar items in the following figures. Therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined or explained in subsequent figures.
