Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of ATV tire technology, and in particular to an ATV tire. Background Technology

[0002] All-terrain vehicles (ATVs), as multi-functional vehicles, are widely used in outdoor adventures, agricultural and forestry operations, and other fields. The performance of an ATV depends not only on key components such as the engine and suspension system, but also closely on its tire design. Tires are the part of the ATV that directly contacts the ground, and their design directly affects the vehicle's grip, handling, and durability. With the expanding applications of ATVs, the market demand for high-performance tires is increasing, prompting tire manufacturers to continuously improve tire designs to adapt to various complex driving conditions. To improve ATV tire performance, existing technologies mainly include: 1) setting tread blocks of different shapes and sizes on the tire surface, adjusting the arrangement and density of the tread blocks to improve tire grip; 2) setting grooves on the tread blocks to enhance water drainage and anti-skid performance. Although these technologies can improve ATV tire performance to some extent, existing tire designs still exhibit poor grip performance when facing complex road conditions, leading to vehicle slippage and affecting driving safety. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To improve tire grip and anti-skid properties, this invention provides an ATV tire.

[0004] The ATV tire provided by this invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] An ATV tire includes a first tread block on the shoulder, the first tread block having a first slope, and a groove formed on the first slope of the first tread block. The groove passes through both ends of the first tread block in the forward direction. The groove includes a first surface, a second surface, and a third surface, which are connected sequentially. The first surface forms an angle α with the horizontal direction, the angle α being 50°-65°. The third surface includes a first arc surface, a second arc surface, and a slope, which are connected sequentially. The first arc surface is connected to the second surface, and the center of the first arc surface is far from the tire axis, while the center of the second arc surface is close to the tire axis.

[0006] By adopting the above technical solutions, the tread block design of ATV tires can significantly improve tire grip and water drainage. Specifically, the groove structure on the slope not only increases the contact area between the tire and the ground but also effectively disperses the heat generated during driving, improving tire wear resistance and lifespan. Furthermore, the multi-segment arc and slope design within the grooves provides better water drainage performance on wet roads, thereby enhancing vehicle handling stability and safety. The third-sided design allows the tire to more effectively distribute pressure when subjected to lateral forces, reducing tire deformation and improving tire stability.

[0007] Preferably, the depth of the groove is 1mm-3mm.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the design of the groove depth can not only ensure that the patterned block has good drainage performance, but also reduce the problem of insufficient support on the first surface caused by the groove being too deep, thereby reducing the occurrence of chipping and breaking of the first patterned block.

[0009] Preferably, the third surface is connected with a plurality of protrusions, the plurality of protrusions being spaced apart along the forward direction of the tire, and the longitudinal direction of the protrusions being aligned with the direction of the third surface.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the multiple protrusions connected to the third surface increase the contact area with the ground, further enhancing the tire's grip performance, especially on wet or muddy roads. Simultaneously, the staggered distribution of these protrusions along the tire's direction of travel helps to distribute pressure, reduce tire wear, and extend tire life. The alignment of the protrusions' length direction with the orientation of the third surface ensures stability and consistency when the protrusions contact the ground, improving the tire's overall handling performance.

[0011] Preferably, the height of the bump is 0.5mm-1.5mm.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solutions, the contact area between the tire and the ground can be effectively increased, the grip can be improved, the probability of mud and sand blockage can be reduced, and the drainage performance of the tire can be enhanced, thereby improving the driving stability and safety of ATV in complex terrain.

[0013] Preferably, the top surface of the protrusion at the end away from the second surface coincides with the extension line of the first slope.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the bumps can make better contact with the ground when the tire rolls, improving the tire's grip and stability. At the same time, this design helps to distribute the pressure between the tire and the ground, reducing localized wear and extending tire life.

[0015] Preferably, the radius of the first arc surface is 2mm.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the first arc surface is used to achieve a smooth transition between the second and third surfaces, effectively reducing the occurrence of dead angles, thereby improving the tire's drainage performance and grip, and ensuring the vehicle's driving safety and stability under complex road conditions.

[0017] Preferably, the radius of the second arc surface is 10 mm.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the second arc surface, in conjunction with the first arc surface, optimizes the tire's water drainage performance, reduces the occurrence of water film during driving, and improves the vehicle's grip and handling stability on wet and slippery roads. Simultaneously, this design effectively disperses ground pressure, reduces tire wear, and extends tire lifespan.

[0019] Preferably, the radius of the first slope is 20 mm.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solutions, the tires can better adapt to changes in the ground when driving in complex terrain, increase the contact area between the first tread block and the ground, improve grip and stability, and reduce the occurrence of slippage.

[0021] Preferably, it also includes a second tread block on the tire shoulder, the second tread block and the first tread block are alternately arranged in sequence along the forward direction, and the second tread block is provided with a second slope.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solutions, tire grip performance can be effectively improved. Especially under complex road conditions, this structural design can significantly enhance vehicle stability and handling. Simultaneously, it helps distribute pressure on the tires, reducing wear rate and extending tire life. The second slope design further enhances the tire's water drainage capacity and anti-skid performance, ensuring safety when driving on wet and slippery roads.

[0023] In summary, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0024] 1. The tread block design of ATV tires significantly improves tire grip and water drainage. Specifically, the grooved structure on the tread not only increases the contact area between the tire and the ground but also effectively disperses heat generated during driving, improving tire wear resistance and lifespan. Furthermore, the multi-segmented arc and sloping surface design within the grooves provides better water drainage on wet surfaces, thereby enhancing vehicle handling stability and safety. The third-sided design allows the tire to more effectively distribute pressure under lateral forces, reducing tire deformation and improving tire stability.

[0025] 2. The second tread block and the first tread block are alternately arranged in the forward direction, which can effectively improve the tire's grip performance. Especially under complex road conditions, this structural design can significantly improve the vehicle's stability and handling. At the same time, it also helps to distribute the pressure on the tire, reduce the wear rate, and extend the tire's service life. Attached Figure Description

[0032] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0033] A type of ATV tire, see reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The system includes a first tread block 1 located on the tire shoulder. The first tread block 1 has a first slope 2, and a groove 3 is formed on the first slope 2, extending through both ends of the first tread block 1 in the forward direction. The groove 3 includes a first surface 4, a second surface 5, and a third surface 6, which are connected sequentially. The first surface 4 forms an angle α with the horizontal direction, which is 50°-65°, preferably 60°.

[0034] The groove 3 structure on the slope not only increases the contact area between the tire and the ground, but also effectively disperses the heat generated during driving, improving tire wear resistance and lifespan. In addition, the multi-segment arc surface and sloping surface 63 design within the groove 3 give the tire better water drainage performance on wet and slippery roads, thereby improving vehicle handling stability and safety.

[0035] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4The radius of the first slope 2 is preferably 20mm, which allows the tire to better adapt to changes in the ground when driving on complex terrain, increases the contact area between the first tread block 1 and the ground, improves grip and stability, and reduces the occurrence of slippage.

[0036] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The depth of groove 3 is 1mm-3mm, which can ensure that the patterned block has good drainage performance and reduce the problem of insufficient support of the first surface 4 due to excessive groove 3, thereby reducing the occurrence of chipping and breaking of the first patterned block 1.

[0037] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 The third surface 6 includes a first arc surface 61, a second arc surface 62 and an inclined surface 63. The first arc surface 61, the second arc surface 62 and the inclined surface 63 are connected in sequence. The first arc surface 61 is connected to the second surface 5, and the center of the first arc surface 61 is far away from the tire axis, while the center of the second arc surface 62 is close to the tire axis.

[0038] The design of the third side 6 allows the tire to more effectively distribute pressure when subjected to lateral forces, reducing tire deformation and improving tire stability.

[0039] Reference Figure 4 The first arc surface 61 is used to achieve a smooth transition between the second surface 5 and the third surface 6, effectively reducing the occurrence of dead angles, thereby improving the tire's drainage performance and grip, and ensuring the vehicle's driving safety and stability under complex road conditions. The radius of the first arc surface 61 is preferably 2mm.

[0040] Reference Figure 4 The radius of the second arc surface 62 is preferably 10mm. The second arc surface 62, in conjunction with the first arc surface 61, can optimize the tire's water drainage performance, reduce the occurrence of water film during driving, and improve the vehicle's grip and handling stability on wet and slippery roads.

[0041] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 4 The third surface 6 is connected to multiple protrusions 7, which are distributed at intervals along the forward direction of the tire, and the direction of the length of the protrusions 7 is in line with the direction of the third surface 6.

[0042] The design of multiple bumps 7 increases the contact area between the first tread block 1 and the ground, further enhancing the tire's grip performance, especially on wet or muddy roads. At the same time, the interval distribution of these bumps 7 along the tire's direction of travel helps to distribute pressure, reduce tire wear, and extend tire life.

[0043] Reference Figure 4The top surface of the protrusion 7, at the end furthest from the second surface 5, coincides with the extension line of the first slope surface 2, allowing the protrusion 7 to make better contact with the ground when the tire rolls, thus improving the tire's grip and stability. The height of the protrusion 7 is 0.5mm-1.5mm.

[0044] Reference Figure 2 It also includes a second tread block 8 located on the tire shoulder, and the second tread block 8 has a second slope 9.

[0045] Reference Figure 2 The first tread block 1 and the second tread block 8 are both integrally formed with the tire, and the first tread block 1 and the second tread block 8 are alternately arranged along the forward direction.

[0046] The second tread block 8 and the first tread block 1 are alternately arranged in the forward direction, which can effectively improve the tire's grip performance. Especially under complex road conditions, this structural design can significantly improve the vehicle's stability and handling. At the same time, it also helps to distribute the pressure on the tire, reduce the wear rate, and extend the tire's service life.

[0047] The working principle of this application is as follows: By setting a first tread block 1 at the tire shoulder, and especially by designing a groove 3 on the first tread block 1, the tire's grip and water drainage performance can be significantly improved. The groove 3 has a depth of 1mm-3mm, which ensures good water drainage performance of the tread block while reducing the problem of insufficient support for the first surface 4 due to excessive groove depth, thereby reducing the occurrence of chipping or breakage of the first tread block 1.

[0048] The design of the first arc surface 61, the second arc surface 62, and the third surface 6 enables the tire to more effectively distribute pressure when subjected to lateral forces, reduce tire deformation, and improve tire stability.

[0049] By incorporating multiple protrusions 7 on the third surface 6, the tire can better grip the ground during driving, improving traction and reducing tire wear. The top surface of the protrusion 7, away from the second surface 5, coincides with the extension line of the slope, allowing it to better grip the ground upon contact, further enhancing traction. Overall, this design not only improves tire performance but also extends tire lifespan, making it suitable for various complex road conditions.

[0050] The embodiments described herein are preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape, and principle of the present invention should be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
