Description
Technical Field

[0002] At present, cars are in contact with the ground through tires, and the friction between the tires and the ground provides power for the car's driving. The tire pattern, where the tire is in direct contact with the ground, is the core structure that generates the power required for the car's driving, braking and steering. It can be seen that factors such as the structural design of the tire pattern, the ground contact area and the ground contact pressure will have an important impact on the wear resistance and handling performance of the car.
[0003] In the prior art, in order to achieve a balance between the tire's service life (wear resistance) and handling performance, the tire's handling performance is usually partially sacrificed (tire wear is actually mainly concentrated in the vehicle's braking process, that is, the tire tread will produce very intense sliding friction with the ground during the vehicle's braking process).
[0004] However, the tires in the prior art are actually unable to achieve a balance between service life (wear resistance) and handling performance in a true sense, because when the tires are driving on rainy days, a water film will be formed between the ground and the tires, which can reduce the friction coefficient between the tire tread and the ground.

The present utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with the embodiments.

[0038] In order to solve the problem that the tire tread structure in the prior art cannot take into account both the handling performance and the wear resistance of the tire.
[0039] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, the multiple longitudinal grooves 10 of the tire tread structure all extend along the circumference of the tire, and the multiple longitudinal grooves 10 are arranged at intervals along the width direction of the tire to separate the tread into multiple middle pattern portions 30 located between two shoulder pattern portions 20. The contact surface between the tire and the driving surface has an area S1, and the area S2 of the tire tread structure satisfies the following relationship with the area S1: 0.66S2≤S1≤0.72S2; a first connecting groove 41 is arranged on the middle pattern portion 30, and the first connecting groove 41 is used to connect the longitudinal grooves 10 located on both sides of the middle pattern portion 30; wherein, there are multiple first connecting grooves 41, and the multiple first connecting grooves 41 are arranged at intervals along the circumference and / or width direction of the tire, and a structural reinforcement protrusion 50 is provided at the groove bottom of at least one first connecting groove 41.
[0040] According to the technical solution of this embodiment, the plurality of longitudinal grooves 10 of the tire tread structure extend along the circumference of the tire, and the plurality of longitudinal grooves 10 are arranged at intervals along the width direction of the tire to divide the tread into a plurality of middle pattern portions 30 located between two shoulder pattern portions 20. The contact surface between the tire and the driving surface has an area S1, and the area S2 of the tire tread structure satisfies the area S1: 0.66S2≤S1≤0.72S2. The first connecting groove 41 is arranged on the middle pattern portion 30, and the first connecting groove 41 is used to connect the longitudinal grooves 10 located on both sides of the middle pattern portion 30. There are a plurality of first connecting grooves 41, and the plurality of first connecting grooves 41 are arranged at intervals along the circumference and / or width direction of the tire, and a structural reinforcement protrusion 50 is arranged at the bottom of at least one first connecting groove 41. In this way, a tire with a larger pattern contact ratio (ratio setting between area S1 and area S2) makes the contact between the tire tread structure and the driving surface more complete and the pattern utilization rate higher, so as to improve the wear resistance and handling of the tire as a whole by improving the force uniformity of the tire tread structure, and the above-mentioned setting of the first connecting groove 41 and the longitudinal groove 10 improves the drainage performance of the tire, thereby improving the anti-skid performance (wet handling performance) of the tire. In addition, the setting of the structural reinforcement protrusion 50 improves the rigidity and stability of the pattern block adjacent to it, reduces the deformation of the pattern block, and further improves the wear resistance and handling performance of the tire, thereby solving the problem in the prior art that the tire tread structure cannot take into account the handling performance and wear resistance of the tire at the same time, and prolongs the service life of the tire.
[0041] In this embodiment, the running surface is the ground.
[0042] Specifically, the tire tread structure is the portion of the tire that is the main contact portion between the tire and the running surface.
[0043] In this embodiment, the area S2 of the tire tread structure satisfies the area S1 as follows: area S1 = 0.69S2.
[0044] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the plurality of intermediate pattern portions 30 include a central pattern portion 32 and a crown pattern portion, at least a portion of the central pattern portion 32 coincides with the center plane S of the tire, and the crown pattern portion is located between the central pattern portion 32 and the shoulder pattern portion 20. The first connecting groove 41 is arranged on the crown pattern portion, and the first connecting groove 41 is arranged at a first angle A1 with the width direction of the tire, and the first angle A1 satisfies: 20°≤A1≤30°, and there are at least two structural reinforcement protrusions 50, and at least two structural reinforcement protrusions 50 are arranged at intervals along the extension direction of the first connecting groove 41. In this way, the above arrangement not only limits the setting position of the first connecting groove 41, but also limits the first angle A1 of the first connecting groove 41, so as to ensure that the inclination of the first connecting groove 41 is more appropriate, and further improve the drainage performance of the first connecting groove 41. At the same time, the limited number of structural reinforcement protrusions 50 can further increase the structural reinforcement effect.
[0045] Specifically, there are two structural reinforcement protrusions 50, which are respectively located at the two ends of the bottom of the first connecting groove 41. In this way, the above position limitation enables the two structural reinforcement protrusions 50 to uniformly reinforce the crown pattern portion, so as to avoid uneven rigidity improvement of the crown pattern portion, which affects the corresponding effect of the structural reinforcement protrusions 50.
[0046] In this embodiment, the structural reinforcement protrusion 50 is a boss, and its two ends are respectively connected to the groove wall of the first connecting groove 41. Specifically, during the rolling process of the tire, the first connecting groove 41 not only drains water, but also provides deformation space for each pattern block, which leads to a greater degree of deformation of the pattern block, affecting the force uniformity of the tire tread structure. By providing the structural reinforcement protrusion 50, the pattern blocks adjacent to the structural reinforcement protrusion 50 are connected to each other and affect each other during the deformation process, so that the deformation of the pattern block is suppressed by the structural reinforcement protrusion 50, thereby improving the rigidity and stability of each pattern block.
[0047] It should be noted that the number of the structure reinforcement protrusions 50 is not limited thereto, and can be adjusted according to working conditions and usage requirements. Optionally, the number of the structure reinforcement protrusions 50 is one, three, four, five, seven, eight, or more.
[0048] like Figure 3 As shown, the connection between the groove wall and the bottom wall of the first connecting groove 41 is provided with a first chamfer 81, and the groove wall of the first connecting groove 41 and the normal line of the first connecting groove 41 are provided at a seventh angle A7, and the seventh angle A7 satisfies: A7 = 3°. In this way, the above arrangement improves the stone removal performance of the tire, avoids the first connecting groove 41 from being mixed with stones and other impurities during the driving process of the tire, thereby improving the driving safety of the vehicle.
[0049] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the crown pattern portion close to the inner side of the tire is the inner crown pattern portion 31, and a plurality of first connecting grooves 41 separate the inner crown pattern portion 31 into a plurality of inner crown pattern blocks 311. The tire tread structure also includes a first sheet structure 61, which is arranged in the inner crown pattern block 311, and the two ends of the first sheet structure 61 extend into the longitudinal grooves 10 located on both sides of the inner crown pattern portion 31. Among them, at least part of the first sheet structure 61 is arranged in a broken line shape or a wave shape, and the first sheet structure 61 is arranged at a second angle A2 with the width direction of the tire, and the second angle A2 satisfies: 20°≤A2≤30°. In this way, the above-mentioned setting of the first sheet structure 61 can, on the one hand, break the water film between the inner crown pattern portion 31 and the ground, thereby increasing the friction between the inner crown pattern portion 31 and the ground, thereby improving the wet handling of the tire; on the other hand, the first sheet structure 61 itself can also increase the bite force between the inner crown pattern portion 31 and the ground, which not only improves the snow performance of the tire, but also shortens the braking distance of the tire, thereby improving the driving safety of the vehicle. At the same time, by separating the inner crown pattern portion 31 through the first sheet structure 61, the overall rigidity of the inner crown pattern portion 31 can be reduced, thereby reducing the stress concentration of the tire tread structure and improving the driving comfort of the driver.
[0050] In this embodiment, the second chamfer 82 is provided at the corner of the inner crown pattern block 311. Thus, the above arrangement increases the water envelope area of the tire on the one hand, improving the driving safety of the vehicle; on the other hand, it avoids the edge of the inner crown pattern block 311 being too sharp, which causes damage to the edge of the inner crown pattern block 311, thereby reducing the risk of the inner crown pattern block 311 falling off, thereby improving the wear resistance of the tire and extending the service life of the tire.
[0051] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the crown pattern portion close to the outer side of the tire is the outer crown pattern portion 33, and the tire tread structure also includes a first recess 71 and a second sheet structure 62. The first recess 71 is arranged on the outer crown pattern portion 33, one end of the first recess 71 extends to one side of the outer crown pattern portion 33, and the other end of the first recess 71 is at a preset distance from the other side of the outer crown pattern portion 33. The first recess 71 is arranged at a third angle A3 with the width direction of the tire, and the third angle A3 satisfies: 20°≤A3≤30°. There are multiple first recesses 71, and the multiple first recesses 71 are arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the tire. A first recess 71 is arranged between two adjacent first connecting grooves 41, so that the outer crown pattern portion 33 is divided into multiple outer crown pattern blocks 331 through the first connecting grooves 41 and the first recess 71. The second sheet-like structure 62 is arranged in the outer crown pattern block 331. In the two longitudinal grooves 10 adjacent to the outer crown pattern portion 33, one end of the second sheet-like structure 62 extends into one longitudinal groove 10, and the other end of the second sheet-like structure 62 is at a preset distance from the other longitudinal groove 10. In this way, the above arrangement of the second sheet-like structure 62 and the first concave portion 71 can, on the one hand, break the water film between the outer crown pattern portion 33 and the ground, increase the friction between the outer crown pattern portion 33 and the ground, and further improve the wet handling of the tire; on the other hand, the second sheet-like structure 62 itself can increase the bite force between the outer crown pattern portion 33 and the ground, which not only improves the snow traction performance of the tire, but also shortens the braking distance of the tire, and improves the driving safety of the vehicle. At the same time, by separating the outer crown pattern portion 33 through the second sheet-like structure 62, the overall rigidity of the outer crown pattern portion 33 can be reduced, thereby reducing the stress concentration of the tire tread structure and improving the driving comfort of the driver.
[0052] In this embodiment, a third chamfer 83 is provided at the corner of the outer crown pattern block 331. Thus, the above arrangement increases the water envelope area of the tire on the one hand, improving the driving safety of the vehicle; on the other hand, it avoids the edge of the outer crown pattern block 331 being too sharp, which causes damage to the edge of the outer crown pattern block 331, reduces the risk of the outer crown pattern block 331 falling off, thereby improving the wear resistance of the tire and extending the service life of the tire.
[0053] like Figure 3 As shown, a fourth chamfer 84 is provided at the connection between the side wall and the bottom wall of the first recess 71, and an eighth angle A8 is formed between the side wall of the first recess 71 and the normal line of the first recess 71, and the eighth angle A8 satisfies: A8 = 3°. In this way, the above arrangement improves the stone removal performance of the tire to prevent the first recess 71 from being mixed with stones and other impurities during the driving process of the tire, thereby improving the driving safety of the vehicle.
[0054] In this embodiment, the first connecting groove 41 and the first recessed portion 71 are arranged parallel to each other to improve the aesthetics of the tire.

The third sheet structure 63 is arranged in the central pattern portion 32, and the two ends of the third sheet structure 63 extend into the longitudinal grooves 10 located on both sides of the central pattern portion 32, respectively. There are multiple third sheet structures 63, and the multiple third sheet structures 63 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the tire to separate the central pattern portion 32 into multiple central pattern blocks 321. The central pattern recess is arranged on the central pattern block 321, and one end of the central pattern recess extends to one side of the central pattern block 321, and the other end of the central pattern recess is at a preset distance from the other side of the central pattern block 321. Among them, the central pattern recess is multiple and includes a second recess 72 and a third recess 73, the second recess 72 and the third recess 73 extend to different sides of the central pattern block 321 respectively, the second recess 72 is set at a fourth angle A4 with the width direction of the tire, and the fourth angle A4 satisfies: 25°≤A4≤35°. The third recess 73 is set at a fifth angle A5 with the width direction of the tire, and the fifth angle A5 satisfies: 15°≤A5≤25°. In this way, the above-mentioned arrangement of the third sheet structure 63 and the central pattern recess, on the one hand, cuts the water film between the central pattern portion 32 and the ground, improves the friction between the central pattern portion 32 and the ground, and further improves the wet handling of the tire; on the other hand, the third sheet structure 63 itself can also increase the bite force between the central pattern portion 32 and the ground, which not only improves the snow performance of the tire, but also shortens the braking distance of the tire, thereby improving the driving safety of the vehicle. At the same time, the third sheet structure 63 separates the center tread portion 32 , which can reduce the overall rigidity of the outer center tread portion 32 , thereby reducing stress concentration in the tire tread structure and improving the driving comfort of the driver.
[0056] like Figure 4 As shown, the connection between the side wall and the bottom wall of the second recess 72 is provided with a fifth chamfer 85, and the side wall of the second recess 72 and the normal of the second recess 72 are arranged at a ninth angle A9, and the ninth angle A9 satisfies: A9 = 3°.

The second connecting groove 42 is arranged on the inner shoulder pattern portion 21, and the second connecting groove 42 is used to connect the longitudinal groove 10 adjacent to the inner shoulder pattern portion 21 and the inner side of the tire. The second connecting groove 42 is arranged at a sixth angle A6 with the width direction of the tire, and the sixth angle A6 satisfies: 4°≤A6≤6°. There are multiple second connecting grooves 42, and the multiple second connecting grooves 42 are arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the tire to separate the inner shoulder pattern portion 21 into multiple inner shoulder pattern blocks 211.

In this way, the arrangement of the second connecting groove 42 further improves the drainage performance of the tire, improves the anti-skid performance of the tire, and improves the wet handling performance of the tire. At the same time, the fourth sheet structure 64 cuts the water film between the inner shoulder pattern portion 21 and the ground, improves the friction between the inner shoulder pattern portion 21 and the ground, and further improves the wet handling of the tire; on the other hand, the fourth sheet structure 64 itself can also increase the bite force between the inner shoulder pattern portion 21 and the ground, which not only improves the snow performance of the tire, but also shortens the braking distance of the tire, thereby improving the driving safety of the vehicle. At the same time, the fourth sheet structure 64 separates the inner shoulder pattern portion 21, which can reduce the overall rigidity of the inner shoulder pattern portion 21, thereby reducing the stress concentration of the tire tread structure and improving the driving comfort of the driver.
[0058] In this embodiment, the corners of the inner shoulder pattern block 211 are provided with a seventh chamfer 87, and the corners of the outer shoulder pattern block 221 are provided with an eighth chamfer 88. Thus, the above arrangement increases the water envelope area of the tire on the one hand, thereby improving the safety of the tire; on the other hand, it avoids the edges of the inner shoulder pattern block 211 and the outer shoulder pattern block 221 being too sharp, thereby avoiding damage to the edges of the inner shoulder pattern block 211 and the outer shoulder pattern block 221, reducing the risk of the blocks falling off, thereby improving the wear resistance of the tire, and further extending the service life of the tire.
[0059] like Figure 5As shown, the connection between the groove wall and the bottom wall of the second connecting groove 42 is provided with a ninth chamfer 89, one groove wall of the second connecting groove 42 and the normal line of the second connecting groove 42 are provided at an eleventh angle A11, and the eleventh angle A11 satisfies: A11 = 5°, another groove wall of the second connecting groove 42 and the normal line of the second connecting groove 42 are provided at a twelfth angle A12, and the twelfth angle A12 satisfies: A11 = 3°. In this way, the above arrangement improves the stone removal performance of the tire, so as to prevent the second connecting groove 42 from being mixed with stones and other impurities during the tire driving process, thereby improving the driving safety of the vehicle.
[0060] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the tire tread structure further includes a fifth sheet-like structure 65. The fifth sheet-like structure 65 is arranged in the outer shoulder pattern portion 22, and the fifth sheet-like structure 65 includes a first sub-sheet-like structure 651, a second sub-sheet-like structure 652 and a third sub-sheet-like structure 653 which are connected to each other, the second sub-sheet-like structure 652 is located between the first sub-sheet-like structure 651 and the third sub-sheet-like structure 653, one end of the first sub-sheet-like structure 651 away from the second sub-sheet-like structure 652 extends into the longitudinal groove 10 adjacent to the outer shoulder pattern portion 22, one end of the third sub-sheet-like structure 653 away from the second sub-sheet-like structure 652 is at a preset distance from the side of the outer shoulder pattern portion 22 away from the middle pattern portion 30, the first sub-sheet-like structure 651 and the second sub-sheet-like structure 652 are arranged at an angle, and the second sub-sheet-like structure 652 and the third sub-sheet-like structure 653 are arranged at an angle. In this way, the above arrangement makes the fifth sheet structure 65 present a variable tortuous design, which cuts the water film between the outer shoulder pattern portion 22 and the ground, improves the friction between the outer shoulder pattern portion 22 and the ground, further improves the wet handling of the tire, and can also improve the bite force between the outer shoulder pattern portion 22 and the ground along the circumferential direction of the tire and the width direction of the tire, which not only improves the snow traction performance of the tire, but also shortens the braking distance of the tire, further improving the driving safety of the vehicle. At the same time, by separating the outer shoulder pattern portion 22 through the fifth sheet structure 65, the overall rigidity of the outer shoulder pattern portion 22 can be reduced, thereby reducing the stress concentration of the tire tread structure and improving the driving comfort of the driver.
[0061] In this embodiment, the above arrangement of the fifth sheet structure 65 is also beneficial to improving the overall aesthetics of the tire.

The length L of the fourth recess 74 and the width W15 of the outer shoulder pattern portion 22 satisfy: 0.83W15≤L≤087W15. The fifth recess 75 is arranged on the outer shoulder pattern portion 22 and is located on the side of the second sub-lamellar structure 652 away from the fourth recess 74. One end of the fifth recess 75 extends to the side of the outer shoulder pattern portion 22 close to the middle pattern portion 30, and the other end of the fifth recess 75 is at a preset distance from the second sub-lamellar structure 652. In this way, the above arrangement, on the one hand, breaks the water film between the outer shoulder pattern portion 22 and the ground, increases the friction between the outer shoulder pattern portion 22 and the ground, and further improves the wet handling of the tire; on the other hand, it increases the drainage capacity of the tire, and further improves the tire's anti-skid performance.

In this way, the above arrangement improves the stone removal performance of the tire, so as to prevent the fourth recess 74 from being mixed with stones and other impurities during the tire driving process, thereby improving the driving stability of the vehicle.
[0064] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, there are a plurality of fourth recesses 74, and the plurality of fourth recesses 74 are arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the tire to separate the outer shoulder pattern portion 22 into a plurality of outer shoulder pattern blocks 221, and the plurality of outer shoulder pattern blocks 221 are arranged one-to-one with the plurality of center pattern blocks 321, and the plurality of inner crown pattern blocks 311 are arranged one-to-one with the plurality of center pattern blocks 321, and the plurality of inner shoulder pattern blocks 211 are arranged one-to-one with the plurality of center pattern blocks 321, and the plurality of outer crown pattern blocks 331 are arranged one-to-one with the plurality of center pattern blocks 321, and the center pattern blocks 321 and the inner crown pattern blocks 311 and the inner shoulder ...

Among them, N satisfies: 64≤N≤76, and N is an even number. In this way, five pattern groups with different lengths (length P1, length P2, length P3, length P4 and length P5) are arranged disorderly and staggered along the circumference of the tire to further affect the vibration frequency of the gas in the groove, effectively disrupt the audio frequency of the pattern cavity noise, and reduce the peak value of the tire's driving noise, thereby reducing the resonance of the pattern, further reducing the tire's driving noise, and thus improving the driver's driving comfort.
[0065] In this embodiment, the length P of the pattern group is the pitch.
[0066] In this embodiment, the specific arrangement of the first pattern group, the second pattern group, the third pattern group, the fourth pattern group and the fifth pattern group is confirmed after finite element simulation optimization.

At the same time, while reducing the groove area ratio on the outer side of the tire, the pattern block area ratio on the outer side of the tire can be increased, thereby increasing the overall rigidity of the pattern block on the outer side of the tire, further improving the handling performance of the tire.
[0068] In this embodiment, the inner side of the tire and the outer side of the tire are separated by the center plane of the tire.
