Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of tire patterns, and in particular relates to a novel all-terrain tire pattern. Background Art
[0002] Tires are one of the most important components of a car, supporting vehicle weight, ensuring driving safety, and ensuring handling stability. Tire tread structure is the primary means by which these functions are achieved. Currently, most domestic tire manufacturers primarily design tread structures based on differentiation, and the tire tread market is shifting from mass-market to niche. As market demands for tires continue to rise, manufacturers are correspondingly required to design differentiated tread patterns to accommodate the increasingly segmented market.
[0003] All-terrain tires, commonly referred to as AT tires, are the most popular type of tire among off-road enthusiasts. Designed for greater compatibility than road tires, all-terrain tires feature a rugged tread design and wide bead spacing, enabling them to excel in complex road conditions. Firstly, all-terrain tires demonstrate exceptional off-road durability and strong adhesion on uneven surfaces, a boon for adventurous drivers. Furthermore, while the driving experience on the road may be slightly less satisfying, all-terrain tires provide the stability and grip to handle any challenge.
[0004] However, the tread design of all-terrain tires inevitably has some drawbacks. Due to their relatively rough tread pattern and widely spaced bead teeth, they are less comfortable and quieter on asphalt than road tires, potentially generating louder noise. Furthermore, they have greater rolling friction and increased fuel consumption.
[0005] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention designs and develops a new type of all-terrain tire pattern to increase the adaptability of the all-terrain tire in various road conditions. Utility Model Content
[0006] The purpose of the present utility model is to solve the above-mentioned problems existing in the prior art and propose a new all-terrain tire pattern. By designing the tire pattern, the adaptability of the all-terrain tire to various road conditions is increased, so that the all-terrain tire can adapt well to dry roads, wet roads, muddy roads, mountainous roads and other road conditions.
[0007] The technical solution of the utility model is:
[0008] A novel all-terrain tire pattern, including a tread pattern and a sidewall pattern. The tread pattern includes a central pattern block located in the middle of the tread and continuously distributed along the circumference of the tread, a central rib pattern block group arranged on both sides of the central pattern block, and a shoulder pattern block group. The central pattern block is provided with two identical and centrally symmetrical curved narrow grooves, the curved narrow grooves laterally penetrating the central pattern block.
[0009] The middle rib pattern block group includes a first middle rib pattern block and a second middle rib pattern block, the first middle rib pattern block is an irregular polygon, and a first notch is formed on a side facing the shoulder pattern block group, and the second middle rib pattern block is an irregular polygon, and a second trapezoidal notch is formed on a side facing the middle pattern block;
[0010] The shoulder pattern block group includes a first shoulder pattern block and a second shoulder pattern block. The first shoulder pattern block is provided with a trapezoidal notch three on one side facing the middle rib pattern block group. The first shoulder pattern block and the second shoulder pattern block are each provided with two transverse three-fold line narrow grooves, one end of the three-fold line narrow groove is connected to the side edge, and the other end extends into the interior of the shoulder pattern block and does not penetrate through the shoulder pattern block. The first shoulder pattern block and the second shoulder pattern block are both irregular polygons.
[0011] The sidewall pattern includes a plurality of Ruyi pattern blocks arranged continuously along the circumferential direction.
[0012] Furthermore, the Ruyi pattern block is a rib in the shape of a Ruyi pattern, the width of the rib is 3 to 6 mm, and the height of the rib protrusion is 1 to 5 mm.
[0013] Furthermore, the narrow bending groove has a V-shaped structure, and the width of the narrow bending groove is 0.4 to 1.5 mm.
[0014] Furthermore, the width of the three-fold narrow groove is 0.4 to 1.5 mm.
[0015] Furthermore, the first center rib pattern block is provided with two narrow grooves in the shape of three broken lines that pass through the pattern block transversely, and the shapes of the two narrow grooves are different; the second center rib pattern block is obliquely provided with two S-shaped grooves of the same shape, and the two grooves are arranged facing each other but not connected.
[0016] Furthermore, the tire pattern includes 2 to 4 pitches of different lengths.
[0017] Furthermore, the middle rib pattern block groups on both sides of the middle pattern block are centrally symmetrical to each other, the shoulder pattern block groups on both sides of the middle pattern block are centrally symmetrical to each other; and the Ruyi pattern blocks on both sidewalls are centrally symmetrical to each other.
[0018] Furthermore, the tire pattern also includes four main grooves in a broken line shape.
[0019] Beneficial effects of the utility model:
[0020] This new tire utilizes an irregular polygonal block pattern to increase tire grip and enhance its ability to navigate muddy and snowy roads. The zigzag design of the main grooves reduces vibration and impact upon entering the contact patch, allowing for smoother air release upon leaving the contact patch, reducing impact, vibration, and pumping noise from the tread blocks and improving the tire's quietness. The narrow grooves and missing grooves further enhance the tire's grip on various road conditions, including mountainous terrain and snowy terrain. Furthermore, the elegant sidewall ruyi pattern reduces material usage while enhancing the tire's grip on soft and muddy roads. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0023] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0024] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that the terms "inside", "outside", "up", "down", "middle", "toward", etc., indicating directions or positional relationships, are based on the positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed and operated in a specific direction. Therefore, they cannot be understood as limitations on the present invention.
[0025] The term "longitudinal" refers to the direction in which the tire rolls, and "transverse" refers to the direction perpendicular to the mid-plane of the tire.
[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, the utility model relates to a new all-terrain tire pattern, which includes a tread pattern and a sidewall pattern, wherein the tread pattern includes a middle pattern block 1 located in the middle of the tread and continuously distributed along the circumference of the tread, a middle rib pattern block group and a shoulder pattern block group arranged on both sides of the middle pattern block 1, and the sidewall pattern includes a plurality of Ruyi pattern blocks 6 continuously arranged along the circumference.
[0027] The tire pattern consists of dozens of repeating pitches, meaning the entire tread is composed of dozens of pitches randomly arranged along the circumference of the tread. The tire pattern in this embodiment includes two to four pitches of varying lengths. Each pitch consists of a Ruyi pattern block 6, a shoulder block group, a center rib block group, a center block 1, a center rib block group, a shoulder block group, and a Ruyi pattern block 6, arranged in that order. In other words, each pitch includes one center block 1, two Ruyi pattern blocks 6, two center rib block groups, and two shoulder block groups.
[0028] Four zigzag main grooves are formed between the middle pattern block 1 and the middle rib pattern block group, and between the middle rib pattern block group and the shoulder pattern block group, which are distributed circumferentially along the tire tread. The main grooves are longitudinal grooves. The zigzag design of the four main grooves reduces the vibration and impact when entering the ground contact area, makes the air release smoother when leaving the ground contact area, reduces the impact and vibration noise and pumping noise of the pattern blocks, and improves the quiet performance of the tire.
[0029] The central tread block 1 is a centrally symmetrical shape, also an irregular polygon. It is equipped with two identical, centrally symmetrical curved narrow grooves 11. In this embodiment, the curved narrow grooves 11 are V-shaped, with their bottoms facing each other and extending transversely through the central tread block 1. The width of the curved narrow grooves 11 can range from 0.4 to 1.5 mm, with a preferred width of 1.0 mm.
[0030] The central rib block group includes a first central rib block 2 and a second central rib block 3. Multiple central rib block groups are continuously distributed along the circumference of the tread. The central rib block groups arranged on both sides of the central block 1 are centrally symmetrical. Specifically, the first central rib blocks 2 on both sides of the central block 1 are centrally symmetrical with each other, and the second central rib blocks 3 on both sides of the central block 1 are centrally symmetrical with each other.
[0031] The first center rib pattern block 2 is an irregular polygon. In one specific embodiment, the first center rib pattern block 2 is an irregular pentagon. To enhance the tire's grip on mountainous and snowy roads, a notch 21 is provided on the side of the first center rib pattern block 2 facing the shoulder pattern block group. This notch 21 is triangular in shape. Furthermore, the first center rib pattern block 2 is provided with two narrow grooves that run transversely and obliquely through the ends of the first center rib pattern block 2. Both narrow grooves are in the form of three broken lines, but their specific shapes differ. The narrow grooves are also provided to enhance grip.
[0032] The second center rib pattern block 3 is an irregular polygon. In one embodiment, it is an irregular hexagon. A trapezoidal second notch 31 is defined on the side facing the center pattern block 1. Furthermore, two identical S-shaped grooves 32 are obliquely disposed on the second center rib pattern block 3, facing each other but not connected. The design of the second notch 31 and the S-shaped grooves 32 is also intended to enhance the tire's grip in various road conditions.
[0033] The shoulder block groups include a first shoulder block 4 and a second shoulder block 5. Multiple shoulder block groups are continuously distributed along the circumference of the tread. The shoulder block groups on both sides of the tread are centrally symmetrical. Specifically, the first shoulder blocks 4 on both sides are centrally symmetrical, and the second shoulder blocks 5 on both sides are centrally symmetrical.
[0034] The first shoulder pattern block 4 and the second shoulder pattern block 5 are both irregular polygons. In one embodiment, both are irregular quadrilaterals. A trapezoidal notch 3 41 is provided on the side of the first shoulder pattern block 4 adjacent to the center rib pattern block group. Two transverse three-fold narrow grooves 42 are provided on each of the first shoulder pattern block 4 and the second shoulder pattern block 5. The two three-fold narrow grooves 1 42 on the first shoulder pattern block 4 can have the same or different shapes and can be arranged in parallel or non-parallel. Similarly, the two three-fold narrow grooves 2 51 on the second shoulder pattern block 5 can have the same or different shapes and can be arranged in parallel or non-parallel.
[0035] The three-fold narrow grooves on the two shoulder pattern blocks start from the side adjacent to the middle rib pattern block group, one end is connected to the side, and the other end extends to the inside of the shoulder pattern block, for example, stops at the middle position and does not pass through.
[0036] Furthermore, the widths of the three-fold narrow grooves (including three-fold narrow groove 1 42 and three-fold narrow groove 2 51), the S-shaped grooves 32, and the narrow grooves in three-segment fold lines designed on the above-mentioned pattern blocks are all 0.4 to 1.5 mm, for example, they can be 0.4 mm, 0.7 mm, 1.0 mm, 1.2 mm or 1.5 mm, etc., and can also be any value within this range.
[0037] It should be noted that, in a specific embodiment, it can be seen from the tire pattern structure that the sides of the middle pattern block 1 adjacent to the first middle rib pattern block 2 and the second middle rib pattern block 3 are designed to be parallel to the sides of the two; similarly, the sides of the first middle rib pattern block 2, the second middle rib pattern block 3 and the first shoulder pattern block 4, the second shoulder pattern block 5 are also designed to be parallel, thereby obtaining four main grooves with a broken line design.
[0038] The Ruyi pattern blocks 6 arranged on both sidewalls are symmetrical with each other. The design of the Ruyi pattern on the sidewalls reduces the material consumption while being beautiful and elegant. On the other hand, it strengthens the grip of the tire on soft and muddy roads, thereby improving the performance of the tire.
[0039] Furthermore, the Ruyi pattern block 6 is a raised rib with a width of 3 to 6 mm, preferably 5 mm; the raised rib height is 1 to 5 mm, preferably 3 mm. The Ruyi pattern block 6 is connected to the first shoulder block 4 and the second shoulder block 5.
[0040] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the above embodiments or replace some of the technical features therein with equivalents. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, and modifications made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
