Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tire technology, and in particular to a tread pattern structure for a medium- and short-range all-steel radial truck tire. Background Technology

[0002] Tires are annular, elastic rubber products mounted on 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.

[0003] Tire tread designs come in a variety of styles, tailored to different uses and road conditions. Tire tread plays a crucial role in the overall driving experience. 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] Tire tread patterns are broadly categorized into straight groove patterns, lateral groove patterns, longitudinal and transverse groove patterns, and block patterns. Straight groove patterns, also known as standard tread patterns, are primarily longitudinal grooves, offering excellent handling stability, low rotational resistance, low noise, and particularly excellent water drainage. They are also less prone to lateral slippage and are suitable for vehicles traveling on flat roads. Lateral groove patterns offer excellent driving, braking, and traction, along with good wear resistance, making them suitable for harsh road conditions such as gravel roads. They are commonly used in industrial and short-to-medium distance vehicles such as bulldozers, excavators, and loaders. Longitudinal and transverse groove patterns combine the designs of straight and lateral grooves, suitable for rough roads but prone to abnormal wear. Block patterns feature regularly arranged blocks, providing good driving and braking forces, suitable for snow and muddy roads, but with poor wear resistance and a short mileage life.

[0005] The main short-to-medium distance all-steel radial truck tires on the market are designed for use on paved roads and are primarily suitable for short-to-medium distance transportation on national highways, provincial highways, and other paved or mixed-hardened roads. The main quality defects of these tires are shoulder gaps, crown gaps, and poor wear resistance. These tires require high-quality tread patterns and need to maintain good steering, drainage, grip, and anti-skid performance at high speeds. Shoulder gaps (delamination or cracking in the tire shoulder area) are mainly caused by stress concentration and high-temperature aging, commonly seen in heavy-load, frequent steering, or poor heat dissipation conditions. Crown gaps (delamination in the tire crown area) are often caused by excessive local impact loads or stones embedding and damaging the belt layer. Poor wear resistance stems from uneven ground pressure distribution or abnormal wear (such as stone scratches or localized overheating softening).

[0006] CN222179117U discloses a tread pattern structure for a light-duty radial tire. The tire tread features a central longitudinal tread block, and along the centerline of the tread circumferentially extending to both sides, evenly distributed longitudinal straight grooves, longitudinal zigzag grooves, and longitudinal tread blocks in the same direction. The groove bottoms employ a rounded transition design, and heat dissipation shoulder grooves are distributed on the tire shoulder to improve heat dissipation and prevent shoulder cracking. However, this tread pattern structure still cannot meet the requirements for stone removal during driving. Stones easily get stuck in the bottom of the tread grooves, causing cracks in the groove bottoms, thus affecting tire driving safety.

[0007] Therefore, there is an urgent need to provide a new type of tread pattern structure for medium- and short-distance all-steel radial truck tires with good stone removal performance. Utility Model Content

The main stone rows 51 have a length of 8-12mm, a width of 2.5-3.5mm, and a height of 2.2-2.8mm. The auxiliary stone rows 52 have a length of 4.5-6mm, a width of 0.6-1mm, and a height equal to that of the main stone rows 51.

[0064] In this embodiment, the tire tread 1 has several shallow, knife-shaped grooves 6 evenly distributed on its shoulder, which can effectively prevent uneven wear. The width of the knife-shaped grooves 6 is 3-5 mm, the depth is 4-6 mm, and the bottom of the groove is a circular arc transition with a radius of 0.8-1.2 mm. The junction between the knife-shaped grooves 6 and the Z-shaped zigzag grooves 2 is inclined downwards, and the angle between the grooves and the horizontal groove surface is 100-105° downwards.

[0065] In this embodiment, several block-shaped heat dissipation grooves 7 are evenly distributed under both shoulders of the tire tread 1 to improve heat dissipation in the shoulder area and prevent shoulder cracking.

[0067] Example 3:

[0068] This embodiment provides a tread pattern structure for a medium-to-short distance all-steel radial truck tire, including a tire tread 1, which is composed of nine equal parts of movable molds.

[0069] The difference from Embodiment 1 is that in this embodiment, the Z-shaped groove 2 has wear indicator protrusions 9 evenly distributed in six equal parts along its circumference, 2-3 mm higher than the bottom of the groove. The width of the wear indicator protrusions 9 is the same as the groove surface of the Z-shaped groove 2, and the length is 8-12 mm. The center of the wear indicator protrusion 9 is a hollow circular hole with a diameter of 2.5-3.5 mm. Tire wear indicators are used to determine the degree of tire wear and are of great significance for safe driving and tire life.

[0070] Example 4:

[0071] This embodiment provides a tread pattern structure for a medium-to-short-range all-steel radial truck tire, including a tire body, which comprises a wheel disc and a tire tread 1.

The tire tread 1 has three Z-shaped zigzag grooves 2 and two rows of main tread blocks 3, as well as oblique shallow grooves 4 located between the main tread blocks 3. The tire tread 1 also has vents 8, wear indicator protrusions 9, knife-shaped shallow grooves 6 on the shoulders, and square block-shaped heat dissipation grooves 7 evenly distributed under the shoulders on both sides.

[0072] In this embodiment, the tire tread 1 features a three-row longitudinal Z-shaped groove design 2, resulting in lower rolling resistance and fuel savings. The groove bottom transitions with a rounded design, and evenly distributed stone blocks 5 in the middle effectively prevent stones from getting stuck at the bottom of the groove and prevent cracking. The three main grooves are unidirectional Z-shaped grooves 2, each 15mm wide, descending in a funnel shape vertically, with a 2mm radius rounded transition at the bottom, providing driving safety in various weather conditions. Two rows of pentagonal-like main tread blocks 3 are evenly distributed between the Z-shaped grooves 2. These tread blocks have multiple shallow diagonal grooves 4 evenly distributed around the circumference of the tire tread 1, providing excellent traction and braking performance. The two rows of main tread blocks 3 are staggered in the same direction along the circumference, creating an aesthetically pleasing overall design and increasing tire grip.

[0073] In this embodiment, the tire tread 1 is designed with three longitudinal Z-shaped zigzag grooves 2 in the direction from the nine-part movable mold to the upper and lower sideplates, which has low rolling resistance and saves fuel. The three main zigzag grooves are Z-shaped zigzag grooves 2 in the same direction, each with a groove width of 15mm and a groove depth of 15mm. They descend in a funnel shape vertically, and the transition at the bottom of the groove is a rounded concave corner with a radius of 2mm, which has excellent drainage performance. The bottom of the groove is evenly distributed with alternating sizes of stone blocks 5. The large stone blocks (i.e., the main stone blocks 51) are 10mm long, 3mm wide, and 2.5mm high; the small stone blocks (i.e., the auxiliary stone blocks 52) are 5.16mm long, 0.8mm wide, and 2.5mm high, which can effectively prevent stones from getting stuck at the bottom of the groove, prevent the bottom of the groove from cracking, and provide driving safety in various weather conditions.

[0074] In this embodiment, the tire tread 1 has two rows of pentagonal-like main tread blocks 3 evenly distributed between the Z-shaped grooves 2. The five corners of each main tread block 3 are rounded. The left row of main tread blocks 3 starts from the top corner and descends clockwise, with the rounded radii of the five corners being 2mm, 10mm, 5mm, 2mm, and 5mm respectively. The right row of main tread blocks 3 also starts from the top corner and descends clockwise, with the rounded radii of the five corners being 2mm, 5mm, 2mm, 10mm, and 5mm respectively. The two rows of main tread blocks 3 are staggered in opposite directions circumferentially on both sides of the central groove 21, resulting in an aesthetically pleasing overall design while significantly enhancing the tire's grip.

[0075] In this embodiment, multiple shallow, oblique grooves 4 are evenly distributed along the circumferential direction of the tire tread 1. Each shallow groove 4 is 4mm wide and 5mm deep; the groove depth is vertically downwards, with a 1mm radius arc transition at the bottom. The inner corners at the upper and lower ends have a 0.5mm arc transition, while the outer corners have a right angle transition, providing excellent water drainage and heat dissipation performance for the tire. The transition between the shallow grooves 4 and the Z-shaped grooves 2 on the left and right sides is a downward sloping transition, with a 102° angle downwards at the outer corner of the horizontal groove surface, and a 2mm radius arc transition at the bottom of the deep groove. The transition between the shallow and deep grooves is smooth and fluid, resulting in smooth and aesthetically pleasing lines.

[0076] In this embodiment, the tire tread 1 is divided into 6 equal parts along the circumference of the Z-shaped groove 2, with raised platforms 2.4 mm higher than the bottom of the groove, namely wear indicator raised platforms 9. The width of the wear indicator raised platform 9 is the same as the groove surface, the length is 10 mm, the depth is 2.4 mm, and the center is a hollow circular hole with a diameter of 3 mm. Tire wear indicators are used to determine the degree of tire wear, and they are of great significance for safe driving and tire life.

[0077] In this embodiment, the tire tread 1 has multiple shallow, knife-shaped grooves 6 evenly distributed on its shoulder. The grooves are 4mm wide and 5mm deep, with a 1mm radius arc transition at the bottom. The transition point between the groove and the main groove is downward, and the angle between the groove and the horizontal groove surface is 102° downward. The remaining shoulder portion of the tire tread 1 is a closed design to improve the rigidity of the shoulder tread pattern and effectively prevent uneven wear.

[0078] In this embodiment, multiple block-shaped heat dissipation grooves 7 are evenly distributed under both shoulders of the tire tread 1. The long side is 26mm, the short side is 10.8mm, and the groove depth is 3mm. The transition points are all made of arc with a radius of 2mm, and the bottom of the groove is also made of arc with a radius of 2mm to improve heat dissipation in the shoulder and avoid shoulder cracking.

[0079] In this embodiment, the tire tread 1 has multiple vent holes 8 with a diameter of 0.8 mm distributed around the main tread block 3, which penetrate the mold to facilitate venting during vulcanization, prevent air pockets from causing tread rounded corners and missing rubber on the sidewall, promote rubber flow, and make the rubber vulcanization more uniform.
