Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a side texture structure of a tire mold for vulcanized tires and the tire thereof. Background Technology

[0002] In the tire manufacturing industry, the tire sidewall is not only a crucial component supporting structural integrity but also an important medium for conveying product information. The markings on these sidewalls, including patterns and text, display the tire's brand, model, and performance parameters to consumers, serving as essential criteria for product identification and selection. Traditionally, these markings are transferred to the tire surface during vulcanization using specific groove structures on the tire mold, forming instructive tread patterns. This process is standard in tire manufacturing, ensuring that the tire meets both aesthetic requirements and necessary functionality.

[0003] However, the metal materials commonly used in existing tire vulcanization molds, despite being highly polished to facilitate tire molding, also present some problems. The overly smooth outer surface of black tires easily produces noticeable light reflection under certain lighting conditions. This reflection not only affects the visibility of tire markings but also reduces the tire's visual appeal. In a highly competitive market, consumers have increasingly high expectations for product appearance. Insufficient visibility of tire markings may reduce market appeal and influence consumer purchasing decisions. While this design deficiency does not affect tire performance and safety, it can become a key factor influencing purchasing decisions in today's market where consumers increasingly value product design. Therefore, improving tire mold design, particularly enhancing the visual appeal of tire sidewall textures, is crucial for meeting market demands and strengthening product competitiveness. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to address the aforementioned problems by providing a tire mold side texture structure and the tire thereof for vulcanized tires. This solves the limitations of existing tire sidewall textures in terms of both visual appeal and functionality. By forming a marking area with a specific texture structure on the tire sidewall, the interference effect under different lighting conditions is optimized, enhancing the contrast between shadows and light, thereby significantly improving the tire's visual appeal and appearance. At the same time, it makes the tire itself feel soft and comfortable to the touch.

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is achieved as follows: a textured structure for the side of a tire mold for vulcanized tires, wherein the side plate of the tire mold is provided with a texture corresponding to the tire sidewall marking area, the texture including a number of texture units arranged in a set manner; the texture unit is an inverted square pyramid-shaped groove, wherein the square base of any square pyramid overlaps with the corresponding square base of the adjacent square pyramid, so that the grooves are arranged in a linear array to form a concave-convex texture.

[0006] In this invention, the gap between the two corresponding square base edges of the regular square pyramid is controlled within 0.05mm.

[0007] In this invention, the square base of the regular square pyramid has a length of 0.05~0.3mm; the height of the pyramid is 0.05~1.2mm.

[0008] In this invention, the raised and recessed texture is arranged by rotating from the horizontal to the vertical direction to select a suitable angle.

[0009] This utility model discloses a tire, wherein the sidewall of the tire is provided with a patterned texture of an identification area, and the patterned texture is adapted to the concave-convex texture structure of the side plate of the tire mold.

[0010] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: By using a side texture structure for a tire mold used in vulcanized tires, a tire with an innovative textured decorative pattern is provided, giving the tire sidewall a specific tread pattern and achieving a higher blackness and stronger visual impact in the tire sidewall marking area. This not only improves the tire's appearance and texture but also reduces light reflection under specific lighting conditions, making the tire marking area more prominent, while simultaneously making the tire itself feel soft and comfortable to the touch.

[0018] Reference Figures 1 to 6This embodiment describes a textured structure on the side of a tire mold for vulcanized tires. The side plate of the tire mold has a texture corresponding to the tire sidewall marking area. The texture includes several texture units arranged in a predetermined manner. Each texture unit is an inverted square pyramid-shaped groove, formed by overlapping the square base of any square pyramid with the corresponding square base of an adjacent square pyramid, so that the grooves are arranged in a linear array to form a raised texture. The gap between the two corresponding square bases of the square pyramid is controlled within 0.05mm. The length of the square base of the square pyramid is 0.05~0.3mm, and the height of the pyramid is 0.05~1.2mm.

[0019] In this embodiment, the raised and recessed textures are arranged by rotating the horizontal to vertical directions at an angle of 45°.

[0020] The tire produced by the tire mold of this utility model has a pattern texture with a marked area on the side wall. The pattern texture is adapted to the concave and convex texture structure of the side plate of the tire mold. The pattern texture of the tire is a regular square pyramid raised texture, arranged at a 45° angle, and the regular square pyramid raised texture is in a linear array.
