Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tire design, and in particular to a tread drive pattern structure for a heavy-duty all-steel radial tire. Background Technology

[0002] Tires are annular, elastic rubber products fitted onto various vehicles or machinery for contact with the ground and rolling. They are typically mounted on metal rims, supporting the vehicle body, cushioning external impacts, ensuring contact with the road surface, and guaranteeing vehicle performance. Tires are often used under complex and harsh conditions, enduring various deformations, loads, forces, and extreme temperatures during operation. Therefore, they must possess high load-bearing capacity, traction, and cushioning performance. Simultaneously, they are required to have high wear resistance and flexural strength, as well as low rolling resistance and heat generation. Half of the world's rubber consumption is used in tire production, demonstrating the significant rubber consumption of tires.

[0003] Tire tread designs come in a variety of styles, tailored to different uses and road conditions. These factors should be considered when selecting tires. Tire tread plays a crucial role in overall driving performance. A well-designed tread pattern can not only effectively save fuel and reduce noise during driving, but also enhance the vehicle's driving force, braking force, and traction on various harsh and slippery road surfaces, thereby improving driving safety.

[0004] The main driving routes for heavy-duty all-steel radial drive tires on the market are paved roads and above. The main quality defects of these tires are shoulder gaps, crown gaps, and poor wear resistance. At the same time, these types of drive tires are prone to abnormal wear (resembling fish scale wear) near the lateral tread grooves. The tires have high requirements for tread patterns, and should have low heat generation and good wear resistance, low noise, low rolling resistance, and a novel appearance.

[0005] Patent publication number CN220053403U discloses a tread pattern structure for a light-duty radial tire, including a tire tread with a Z-shaped zigzag groove in the center. Longitudinal zigzag grooves in opposite directions are evenly distributed along the centerline of the tire tread circumferentially to both sides. Transverse ribs are evenly distributed from the main grooves of the longitudinal zigzag grooves towards the crown. The bottom of the ribs adopts a transition design with different slopes, and heat dissipation grooves are distributed on the tire shoulder to improve heat dissipation and prevent shoulder cracking. However, this tread pattern structure makes the area near the transverse tread grooves prone to abnormal wear. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the defects of the prior art, which is that the area near the lateral tread grooves of the tire tread is prone to abnormal wear, and to provide a tread drive pattern structure for heavy-duty all-steel radial tires. This structure makes the ground pressure distribution more uniform, has higher wear resistance, reduces the probability of abnormal wear near the lateral tread grooves, provides the tire with strong driving force, and enhances the rigidity of the tread structure while improving heat dissipation capacity, thus preventing the risk of the tread structure breaking.

[0007] The objective of this utility model can be achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0008] A tread pattern structure for a heavy-duty all-steel radial tire includes:

[0009] Tire tread;

[0010] The tire tread has multiple parallel longitudinal tread grooves, including a longitudinal Z-shaped zigzag main tread groove in the center of the tire tread, two first longitudinal Z-shaped zigzag tread grooves and two second longitudinal Z-shaped zigzag tread grooves arranged from near to far from the longitudinal Z-shaped zigzag main tread groove. The longitudinal Z-shaped zigzag main tread groove is in the opposite direction to the first longitudinal Z-shaped zigzag tread groove, and the first longitudinal Z-shaped zigzag tread groove is in the opposite direction to the second longitudinal Z-shaped zigzag tread groove.

[0011] The lateral tread groove provided on the tire tread and connecting two adjacent longitudinal tread grooves includes a first lateral tread groove connecting the longitudinal Z-shaped zigzag main tread groove and the first longitudinal Z-shaped zigzag tread groove, and a second lateral tread groove connecting the first longitudinal Z-shaped zigzag tread groove and the second longitudinal Z-shaped zigzag tread groove.

[0012] And a number of uniformly distributed hexagonal mahjong tile pattern blocks formed by adjacent longitudinal and transverse pattern grooves, wherein the mahjong tile pattern blocks are provided with three-dimensional transverse wave grooves.

[0013] Furthermore, the two first longitudinal Z-shaped zigzag pattern grooves located in the longitudinal Z-shaped zigzag main pattern groove are completely parallel;

[0014] The two second longitudinal Z-shaped zigzag pattern grooves located in the longitudinal Z-shaped zigzag main pattern groove are completely parallel.

[0015] Furthermore, the longitudinal Z-shaped zigzag main pattern groove includes several first bending points and second bending points in opposite directions;

[0016] The first longitudinal Z-shaped zigzag groove includes several third and fourth bend points in opposite directions;

[0017] The second longitudinal Z-shaped zigzag groove includes several fifth and sixth bend points in opposite directions;

[0018] The first, third, and fifth bend points are in the same direction, facing to the left.

[0019] The second, fourth, and sixth bend points are in the same direction, facing to the right.

[0020] The first bend point, the fourth bend point, and the fifth bend point are located on the same circumferential line, and the second bend point, the third bend point, and the sixth bend point are located on the same circumferential line;

[0021] The longitudinal Z-shaped zigzag main pattern groove, the first longitudinal Z-shaped zigzag pattern groove, and the second longitudinal Z-shaped zigzag pattern groove are staggered by a certain distance along the longitudinal direction, so that the straight lines where the first bend point, the fourth bend point, and the fifth bend point are located are inclined along the circumferential line, and the straight lines where the second bend point, the third bend point, and the sixth bend point are located are inclined along the circumferential line.

[0022] Furthermore, the first transverse groove connects the second bend point of the longitudinal Z-shaped zigzag main groove and the third bend point of the first longitudinal Z-shaped zigzag groove.

[0023] The second transverse groove connects the fourth bend of the first longitudinal Z-shaped groove and the fifth bend of the second longitudinal Z-shaped groove.

[0024] Furthermore, the two endpoints of the bottom edge of each hexagonal mahjong tile pattern block are the midpoints of two adjacent hexagonal mahjong tile pattern blocks.

[0025] Furthermore, the two shoulders of the patterned structure are also provided with shoulder heat dissipation grooves that connect with the second longitudinal Z-shaped zigzag pattern groove;

[0026] The shoulder heat dissipation groove is connected to the sixth bend point of the second longitudinal Z-shaped zigzag groove through the third transverse patterned groove, so that the shoulder forms an open shoulder design, which improves the heat dissipation of the shoulder and avoids shoulder cracking.

[0027] Furthermore, the third lateral tread groove is 7-8 mm wide and 22-23 mm deep, with its walls sloping inward at a 2°-5° angle, and its bottom forming a circular arc with a radius of 1-2 mm. The inward sloping walls indicate that the two sides of the third lateral tread groove are close together, and the 2°-5° angle indicates that the angle between the groove wall and the center line of the tire tread is 2°-5°.

[0028] Furthermore, a reinforcing rib is provided in the middle of the third transverse groove. The reinforcing rib is 18-22mm wide and 6-8mm high, which is used to increase the rigidity of the shoulder.

[0029] Furthermore, the three-dimensional transverse wave groove includes:

[0030] A first three-dimensional transverse wave groove connecting the first bending point of the longitudinal Z-shaped tortuous main pattern groove and the fourth bending point of the first longitudinal Z-shaped tortuous pattern groove;

[0031] A second three-dimensional transverse wave groove connecting the third bend point of the first longitudinal Z-shaped zigzag groove and the sixth bend point of the second longitudinal Z-shaped zigzag groove.

[0032] And the fifth bend point connecting the second longitudinal Z-shaped zigzag groove and the third three-dimensional lateral wave groove on the tire tread shoulder.

[0033] Furthermore, the upper and lower peaks of the three-dimensional transverse wave groove are 2-5 mm apart in the longitudinal direction, and they are wave-shaped in both the transverse and longitudinal directions. The transverse waves and longitudinal waves intersect each other to form a wave surface with alternating heights.

[0034] The three-dimensional transverse wave grooves provide a powerful driving force while ensuring the rigidity of the mahjong tile patterned blocks, preventing the risk of the mahjong tile patterned blocks breaking apart.

[0035] Furthermore, each longitudinal tread groove, transverse tread groove, and three-dimensional transverse wave groove has multiple vent holes that penetrate the mold, which facilitates venting during vulcanization, prevents air pockets from causing tread corners and sidewall defects, promotes rubber flow, and makes the rubber vulcanization more uniform.

[0036] Furthermore, the longitudinal Z-shaped zigzag main pattern groove, the first longitudinal Z-shaped zigzag pattern groove, and the second longitudinal Z-shaped zigzag pattern groove have a groove width of 6~7mm, a groove depth of 22~23mm, a groove wall that slopes inward at 2°~5°, and a groove bottom that is a circular arc transition with a radius of 1~2mm.

[0037] The first and second transverse patterned grooves are 7-8 mm wide and 18-22 mm deep, with the groove walls sloping downwards at 2°-5° and the bottom of the grooves being a circular arc transition with a radius of 2-3 mm.

[0038] Furthermore, the tire tread is composed of ten equal movable sections; the tread pitch is 52 sections, distributed in an equal pitch pattern.

[0039] Furthermore, the edges of the mahjong tile-shaped patterned blocks adjacent to the shoulder are straight edges.

[0040] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0041] (1) This utility model has good wear resistance, can reduce abnormal wear, and ensure uniform wear. The tire with the tread structure of this utility model reduces the probability of early tire damage caused by shoulder gaps, crown gaps, and poor wear resistance, while providing strong driving force for the tire. Since the tread structure is arranged in a regular pattern, it does not effectively reduce the noise that occurs during tire driving.

[0042] (2) The combination design of the longitudinal and lateral tread grooves enables the tire to have good guidance, drainage, grip and anti-skid performance at high speeds. In addition, the constantly changing tread groove angle improves the tire's traction and lateral force.

[0043] (3) The pattern of this utility model adopts a combination design of longitudinal Z-shaped zigzag main pattern groove, first longitudinal Z-shaped zigzag pattern groove, second longitudinal Z-shaped zigzag pattern groove and first transverse pattern groove, second transverse pattern groove and third transverse pattern groove to form a number of evenly distributed hexagonal structure mahjong block pattern blocks. The shoulder is an open shoulder design, which can provide strong driving force. The reasonable pattern arrangement ensures uniform wear, effectively prevents uneven wear, improves tire wear resistance, and reduces the probability of early tire damage caused by shoulder gap, crown gap and poor wear resistance.

[0044] (4) By setting three-dimensional transverse wave grooves in the mahjong tile pattern block, this utility model can effectively provide a strong driving force, increase the heat dissipation capacity of the mahjong tile pattern block, and ensure the rigidity of the mahjong tile pattern block, thus preventing the risk of the mahjong tile pattern block breaking apart. At the same time, under the premise of ensuring the rigidity of the mahjong tile pattern block, it can reduce the deformation of the mahjong tile pattern block as it rolls back and forth with the tire, thereby reducing the probability of abnormal wear (similar to fish scale wear) near the transverse tread grooves of the tire.

[0124] Compared with Example 2, most of the components are the same, except that the three-dimensional lateral wave groove 6 is not provided, and the resulting tire driving force is worse than that of Example 2.

[0125] Comparative Example 2

[0126] Compared to Example 2, most aspects are the same, except that the three-dimensional transverse wavy groove 6 is replaced with a transverse fine groove. However, straightening the transverse fine groove would reduce the rigidity of the mahjong tile pattern blocks, thus leading to abnormal wear.
