Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tire structure design technology, and in particular to a crown structure for an all-steel radial truck tire. Background Technology
[0002] With the rapid development of automobiles and highways, the performance requirements for tires are constantly increasing, especially the load-bearing capacity and durability of tires.
[0003] All-steel radial tires are increasingly widely used in various transportation industries. All-steel radial tires are constantly developing towards higher load capacity, higher speed, longer service life, and higher safety performance. In the current technology, all-steel radial tires mostly use four-layer belt ply and ordinary zero-degree belt structure, and are gradually developing into zero-degree belt helical circumferential winding. However, under high load and high speed, the tire crown of the existing tire technology is subjected to great force and heat generation, resulting in a short tire life.
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a crown structure for all-steel radial truck tires that has high structural stability, durability and service life, and high-speed performance and safety. Utility Model Content

[0010] Furthermore, the width of the first belt layer is 20-30 mm larger than the width of the second belt layer;
[0011] The edges of belt layer 1 and belt layer 2 are separated by a second film.
[0012] Furthermore, the first film uses a new material formulation design (specifically, the material in patent 202310009371.5).
[0013] Furthermore, the second film uses a new material formulation design (specifically, the material in patent 202310009371.5).

[0015] Furthermore, the first film and the second film are joined together.
[0016] Furthermore, the first film and the second film are integrally formed.
[0017] Furthermore, the zero-degree belt layer is spirally wound circumferentially from one side of the tire to the other.
[0018] Furthermore, after the first film is bonded, the zero-degree belt layer is spirally wound around the tire from left to right.
[0019] Furthermore, the starting position of the zero-degree belt layer winding is 10-15mm away from the edge of the second belt layer, and the ending position of the winding is 10-15mm away from the edge of the second belt layer.
[0020] Furthermore, the zero-degree belt layer is a circumferential reinforcing layer consisting of three steel wires continuously spirally wound.
[0021] Furthermore, the width difference between the No. 3 belt layer and the zero-degree belt layer is maintained at 15-20 mm.
[0022] Furthermore, the tread includes a lower tread layer rubber and an upper tread layer rubber arranged sequentially from the inside to the outside, with the inner side of the lower tread layer rubber connected to a belt layer structure and the outer side of the lower tread layer rubber connected to the upper tread layer rubber.
[0023] Furthermore, the inner side of the lower tread layer rubber is connected to the shoulder pad rubber and the No. 3 belt layer of the belt layer structure, respectively, and the inner side of the lower tread layer rubber is connected to the upper tread layer rubber and the sidewall, respectively.
[0024] Furthermore, the belt layer structure has sidewalls on both sides, and the inner surface of the sidewalls is connected to the outer surface of the tread and the outer surface of the shoulder pad rubber, respectively.
[0025] Furthermore, the inner surface of the tire shoulder pad rubber is connected to the outer surface of the tire carcass cord.

[0027] Furthermore, the No. 1 belt layer, the No. 2 belt layer, the first film, the zero-degree belt layer, and the No. 3 belt layer are sequentially bonded together radially from the inside to the outside.
[0028] Furthermore, the first film is laminated across the entire surface after being bonded to the No. 2 belt layer. Here, "laminated across the entire surface" means that the first film is laminated to the entire upper surface and sides of the No. 2 belt layer.
[0029] Furthermore, after the first film is bonded, the zero-degree belt layer is spirally wound around the entire belt layer in a circumferential direction. The starting position of the winding is 10-15mm away from the edge of the second belt layer, and the ending position of the winding is 10-15mm away from the edge of the second belt layer.
[0030] Furthermore, the No. 3 belt layer is bonded to the zero-degree belt layer.

[0032] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0033] 1) The all-steel radial truck tire crown structure provided by this utility model can enhance the structural stability of the tire. The zero-degree belt layer adopts a spiral winding method mainly to enhance the structural stability of the tire. During the tire's operation, it will bear forces from different directions, such as radial force, lateral force and circumferential force. The spirally wound zero-degree belt layer can provide uniform support in all directions, thereby effectively resisting the action of these external forces and preventing tire deformation.
[0034] 2) The all-steel radial truck tire crown structure provided by this utility model can disperse stress. When the tire contacts the ground, local stress concentration will occur. The spirally wound zero-degree belt layer can disperse these stresses to a larger area, reduce local stress peaks, and improve tire durability and service life.
[0035] 3) The all-steel radial truck tire crown structure provided by this utility model can improve high-speed performance. When driving at high speed, the tire needs to have good stability and anti-deformation ability. The spirally wound zero-degree belt layer can reduce the deformation of the tire when rotating at high speed, maintain the shape and size stability of the tire, thereby improving the high-speed performance and safety of the tire.
[0036] 4) The all-steel radial truck tire crown structure provided by this utility model adjusts the arrangement of each belt layer of the tire crown structure, thereby reducing the stress on the tire shoulder, enhancing the structural stability of the tire, reducing local stress peaks, improving the tire's durability and service life, and improving the tire's high-speed performance and safety.

[0084] Table 2. Basic parameters of all-steel radial truck tires.
[0085]
[0086] According to Table 1, the crown structure of this all-steel radial truck tire enhances tire structural stability. The zero-degree belt layer, using a helical winding method, primarily enhances tire structural stability. During tire operation, it experiences forces from various directions, such as radial, lateral, and circumferential forces. The helical-wound zero-degree belt layer provides uniform support in all directions, effectively resisting these external forces and preventing tire deformation. It also disperses stress. When the tire contacts the ground, localized stress concentration occurs. The helical-wound zero-degree belt layer disperses these stresses over a larger area, reducing localized stress peaks and improving tire durability and lifespan. At high speeds, tires require good stability and resistance to deformation. The helical-wound zero-degree belt layer reduces tire deformation during high-speed rotation, maintaining tire shape and dimensional stability, thereby improving high-speed performance and safety. Adjusting the arrangement of the belt layers in the tire crown structure reduces stress on the tire shoulder, enhancing structural stability, reducing localized stress peaks, improving tire durability and lifespan, and enhancing high-speed performance and safety.

It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications can be easily made to these embodiments, and the general principles described herein can be applied to other embodiments without inventive effort. Therefore, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments, and any improvements and modifications made by those skilled in the art based on the disclosure of the present utility model without departing from its scope should be within the protection scope of the present utility model.
