Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tread structure technology, and mainly to a tire with a low heat generation four-rubber tread. Background Technology

[0002] The domestic tire industry is developing rapidly, and the requirements for tire use are also high. Most domestic manufacturers use Pirelli's production technology, which is more suitable for my country's usage conditions, but it also has major quality problems such as poor wear resistance and cracks in the bead area.

[0003] For mining tires, high load capacity is an essential performance requirement. However, besides tire strength, the main limiting factors determining tire lifespan are the tire's cut resistance and heat generation performance. Mining tires differ from conventional tires; their operating environment is extremely harsh, making them highly susceptible to punctures, cuts, and other cutting problems that can lead to damage and failure. Furthermore, the high heat generated under heavy loads, and heat-induced delamination, are also major causes of reduced tire lifespan.

[0004] Therefore, providing a tire with a low heat generation four-rubber tread has become a key focus of tire research at this stage. Utility Model Content

[0005] This invention aims to solve the problem of low tire lifespan in existing technologies. Therefore, the purpose of this invention is to propose a low-heat-generating four-rubber tread, which uses a four-rubber, four-composite pressing method to reduce heat generation in the tread area, lower costs, reduce the occurrence of crown voids or shoulder voids in the tire tread area, delay aging, and extend service life.

[0027] Example 1:

[0028] Please refer to the following for details. Figure 1 A tire with a low heat generation four-rubber tread includes a first crown rubber area 1, a second crown rubber area 2, a wing rubber area 3, and a base rubber area 4. The first crown rubber area 1, the second crown rubber area 2, and the base rubber area 4 are arranged sequentially from the outside to the inside to form the tread layer. The wing rubber area 3 is arranged on both sides of the base rubber. The first crown rubber area 1 and the second crown rubber area 2 are both high on both sides and low in the middle. The base rubber area 4 is a planar structure.

[0029] The shoulder of this invention is designed as a slope and is thinned to reduce heat generation and energy loss in the tire shoulder area. It also reduces heat generation in the finished tire tread area and improves durability.

[0030] In this embodiment, the bottom sides of the second crown rubber area 2 are recessed outward to form the first recessed portion 5, and the top of the wing rubber area 3 is protruded outward to form the first protruding portion 6. The first protruding portion 6 and the first recessed portion 5 fit and adapt to each other.

[0031] In this embodiment, the top of the wing rubber area 3 is completely covered by the second tire crown rubber.

[0032] In this embodiment, the first crown rubber area 1 accounts for 50% of the tread layer thickness, the second crown rubber area 2 accounts for 37.5% of the tread layer thickness, and the base rubber area 4 accounts for 12.5% ​​of the tread layer thickness.

[0033] Example 2:

[0034] Please refer to the following for details. Figure 2 Compared with Example 1, the first crown rubber area 1 of the two examples has the same structure. The difference is that the top side of the wing rubber area 3 extends outward and is partially wrapped by the second crown rubber. The first crown rubber area 1 accounts for 50% of the tread layer thickness, the second crown rubber area 2 accounts for 31.25% of the tread layer thickness, and the base rubber area 4 accounts for 18.75% of the tread layer thickness.

[0035] Example 3:

[0036] Please refer to the following for details. Figure 3 The first crown rubber area 1, the second crown rubber area 2, the wing rubber area 3 and the base rubber area 4 are arranged from the outside to the inside to form the tread layer. The first crown rubber area 1, the second crown rubber area 2, the wing rubber area 3 and the base rubber area 4 are all high on both sides and low in the middle.

[0037] In this embodiment, the bottom of both sides of the wing adhesive area 3 is recessed outward to form a second recessed portion 7, and the top of the base adhesive area 4 is protruded outward to form a second protruding portion 8. The second protruding portion 8 and the second recessed portion 7 fit and adapt to each other.

[0038] In this embodiment, the top of both sides of the base adhesive area 4 is completely covered by the wing adhesive area 3.

[0039] In this embodiment, the first crown rubber area 1 accounts for 34.375% of the tread layer thickness, the second crown rubber area 2 accounts for 34.375% of the tread layer thickness, the wing rubber area 3 accounts for 18.75% of the tread layer thickness, and the base rubber area 4 accounts for 12.5% ​​of the tread layer thickness.

[0040] In this application, the first tire crown rubber area 1, the second tire crown rubber area 2, the wing rubber area 3, and the base rubber area 4 are all made of rubber composition. The first tire crown rubber area 1 and the second tire crown rubber area 2 play the roles of puncture resistance, abrasion resistance, and low rolling resistance, while the wing rubber area 3 and the base rubber area 4 play the roles of reducing heat generation and buffering.

[0041] In this application, the first crown rubber area 1 accounts for 50% of the tread layer thickness, which means that the middle horizontal part of the first crown rubber area 1 accounts for 50% of the thickness of the middle horizontal part of the tread layer. The second crown rubber area 2, wing rubber area 3 and base rubber area 4 are also calculated in this way.

[0042] A low-heat-generating four-rubber tread tire is disclosed, which is a four-rubber tread produced using a four-compound process. The first crown rubber area 1, the second crown rubber area 2, the wing rubber area 3, and the base rubber area 4 are each fed with rubber through their respective screw extruder inlets. After being extruded through their respective screw extruders and flow channels, they are pressed out through a pre-formed die and arranged into a pre-set shape. Finally, they are all pressed together through the extrusion die to form a four-compound tread. This four-rubber, four-compound tread production method improves thermal conductivity and wear resistance, solving the technical problem of reduced wear resistance while lowering the tread rubber's heat generation. It also ensures other properties required by the tread rubber during tire operation, extending the tire's service life.

[0043] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claims. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
