[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tire technology, and in particular to a lightweight, high-strength tire structure. Background Technology

[0002] The outer tire usually refers to the outer part of the tire mounted on the rim. It bears important functions such as supporting the weight of the vehicle, providing grip, absorbing shocks and damping vibrations. With the advancement of materials science, lightweight technology has become an important development direction in the automotive industry. Reducing the weight of the body and tires can effectively reduce the total weight of the vehicle, thereby improving fuel efficiency, acceleration performance and handling, in order to meet the market's demand for high performance, low energy consumption and higher safety.

[0003] There are many different types of tires on the market. Although these tires have good elasticity and wear resistance, their density is relatively high, resulting in a large overall weight. This increases rolling resistance when in contact with the road surface. In addition, heavier tires tend to accumulate heat more easily when driving at high speeds, increasing the rate of wear. Especially under long-term high-intensity use, excessively high temperatures will accelerate the aging of rubber and other materials, shortening their service life. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This invention addresses the problem that while some tires on the market have good elasticity and wear resistance, their relatively high density results in a large overall weight, which increases rolling resistance when in contact with the road surface. In addition, heavier tires tend to accumulate heat more easily at high speeds, increasing the wear rate. Especially under prolonged high-intensity use, excessively high temperatures in tires accelerate the aging of rubber and other materials, shortening their service life. Therefore, this invention provides a lightweight, high-strength tire structure.

[0005] This utility model is achieved by the following technical solution: a lightweight and high-strength tire structure, including an outer tire layer, an inner tire layer fixedly connected inside the outer tire layer, a limit ring fixedly connected to the inner wall of the inner tire layer, a protruding block fixedly connected to the inner wall of the inner tire layer, and steel wire rings fixedly connected to the front and rear ends inside the outer tire layer.

[0006] Through the above technical solutions, the limiting ring helps workers install tires quickly and accurately, the protruding block enhances the tightness between the tire and the rim by increasing friction, and the steel wire ring effectively prevents the tire from coming off the rim when rotating at high speed by providing additional strength, thus ensuring its own stability while facilitating installation for workers.

[0007] As a further improvement to the above solution, the inner tire layer includes a reinforcing layer fixedly connected to the inner wall of the outer tire layer, the inner wall of the reinforcing layer is fixedly connected to the carcass layer, and the bottom of the carcass layer is fixedly connected to the bead layer.

[0008] Through the above technical solutions, the multi-layer structure of the inner tube can ensure good overall stability and comfort, while also improving various tire performance characteristics.

[0009] As a further improvement to the above solution, the limiting ring is located in the middle of the inner wall of the bead layer, and the protruding block is located at the front and rear ends of the limiting ring.

[0010] The above technical solution ensures the overall aesthetic appeal of the symmetrical structure and also facilitates quick installation by staff.

[0011] As a further improvement to the above solution, the outer tire layer is made of synthetic rubber.

[0012] Through the above technical solutions, synthetic rubber can provide better anti-aging properties, wear resistance and wet grip, effectively reduce tire rolling resistance, enhance vehicle driving efficiency, and is more efficient and environmentally friendly than natural rubber.

[0013] As a further improvement to the above solution, the reinforcing layer is made of aramid fiber.

[0014] Through the above technical solutions, aramid fibers can ensure that tire weight is reduced while increasing tire strength, which helps to reduce the overall weight of the vehicle, thereby improving fuel economy and handling, and thus improving tire reliability and service life.

[0015] As a further improvement to the above solution, the carcass layer is made of carbon fiber.

[0016] Through the above technical solutions, carbon fiber can possess high strength and high rigidity, thereby helping to improve overall performance and fuel efficiency, and further enhancing its practical effects.

[0017] As a further improvement to the above solution, the bead layer is made of nylon fiber.

[0018] Through the above technical solutions, nylon fibers can have good elasticity, better absorb vibration, reduce vibration transmission to car owners and passengers, thereby improving driving comfort. At the same time, they also have high tensile strength, ensuring the structural integrity and stability of the tire.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0020] This invention utilizes an inner tube layer and a reinforcing layer made of aramid fiber, which features low density and high strength. This helps reduce tire weight, further improving fuel economy and vehicle handling. Simultaneously, it maintains stable structural and mechanical properties under long-term loads, effectively improving tire reliability and reducing failures caused by fatigue damage. The carcass layer uses carbon fiber, enhancing tire strength and rigidity, increasing stability, improving handling and driving performance, reducing energy loss, and its low density reduces the overall tire mass, further reducing the vehicle's total weight. The bead layer uses nylon fiber, which has good elasticity, thus better absorbing road vibrations and reducing vibrations transmitted to the driver and passengers, improving driving comfort. Its high tensile strength prevents tire deformation or tearing under high speed or pressure, ensuring structural stability and safety. This design improves overall performance while achieving lightweighting.

[0021] This invention utilizes the cooperation between a limiting ring and a protruding block. The limiting ring serves as an installation reference to ensure the correct alignment of the tire and rim, while the protruding block increases friction to enhance the tightness between the tire and rim. This helps to improve overall stability after installation, prevents the tire from loosening or slipping during use, and further speeds up the installation efficiency for workers.

[0030] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that, without conflict, the various embodiments or technical features described below can be arbitrarily combined to form new embodiments.

[0031] Example:

[0032] Referring to Figures 1-6, this embodiment of a lightweight, high-strength tire structure includes an outer tire layer 1, an inner tire layer 2 fixedly connected inside the outer tire layer 1, a limiting ring 3 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the inner tire layer 2, a protruding block 4 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the inner tire layer 2, and steel wire rings 5 ​​fixedly connected to the front and rear ends inside the outer tire layer 1. The workers can use the limiting ring 3 as an alignment reference during installation to ensure the correct alignment of the tire and the rim, helping to quickly install it in place. The protruding block 4 inside can increase the friction to a certain extent, thereby further ensuring the overall stability after installation. The steel wire ring 5 is located at the toe of the outer tire layer 1, which can provide additional strength to prevent the tire from falling off the rim during high-speed operation or high-speed cornering, thereby ensuring sufficient traction and tightness.

[0033] The inner tube layer 2 includes a reinforcing layer 21 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the outer tube layer 1. The inner wall of the reinforcing layer 21 is fixedly connected to the carcass layer 22. The bottom of the carcass layer 22 is fixedly connected to the bead layer 23. The limiting ring 3 is located in the middle of the inner wall of the bead layer 23. The protruding block 4 is located at the front and rear ends of the limiting ring 3. The inner tube layer 2 is lightweight as a whole, which can enhance driving safety and comfort, extend the tire's service life, and further improve the vehicle's handling and stability.

[0034] The outer tire layer 1 is made of synthetic rubber, which can effectively reduce the rolling resistance of the tire. This not only helps to improve fuel economy and reduce energy loss, but also enhances the driving efficiency of the vehicle. For vehicles that need to cruise at high speeds for a long time or travel long distances, tires with low rolling resistance can save fuel and improve the overall performance of the vehicle. At the same time, they are more efficient and environmentally friendly than natural rubber, thus further meeting the market's demand for sustainable development.

[0035] The reinforcing layer 21 is made of aramid fiber, which has a low density but very high strength. This ensures that the tire strength is increased while the tire weight is reduced, which helps to reduce the overall weight of the vehicle and thus improve fuel economy and handling. In addition, aramid fiber has good fatigue resistance. Even under long-term repeated loads, it can maintain stable structural and mechanical properties, thereby improving tire reliability and service life.

[0036] The carcass layer 22 is made of carbon fiber, which has a very low density, reducing the mass of the tire itself and thus the overall weight of the vehicle. It also has high strength and high rigidity, which helps to improve overall performance and fuel efficiency.

[0037] The bead layer 23 is made of nylon fiber, which has good elasticity and can better absorb vibration when the road surface is uneven or when encountering obstacles, reducing the vibration transmission to the driver and passengers, thereby improving driving comfort. In addition, the tensile strength of nylon fiber is very high, which can effectively prevent the tire from deforming or tearing under pressure, thus ensuring the structural integrity and stability of the tire.

[0038] The implementation principle of a lightweight, high-strength tire structure in this application embodiment is as follows: The outer tire layer 1 is made of synthetic rubber, which can be adjusted according to different types of synthetic rubber formulas to provide better anti-aging properties, wear resistance, and wet grip. Due to the special formula of synthetic rubber, it can effectively reduce the rolling resistance of the tire, which not only helps to improve fuel economy and reduce energy loss, but also enhances the vehicle's driving efficiency. For vehicles that need to cruise at high speeds for a long time or travel long distances, tires with low rolling resistance can save fuel and improve the overall performance of the vehicle. At the same time, it is more efficient and environmentally friendly than natural rubber, thereby further meeting the market's demand for sustainable development. The inner tire layer 2 is divided into a reinforcing layer 21, a carcass layer 22, and a bead layer 23. The reinforcing layer 21 uses aramid fiber, a high-performance synthetic fiber with low density but very high strength, which ensures that the tire weight is reduced while increasing the tire strength, helping to reduce the overall weight of the vehicle, thereby improving fuel economy and handling. In addition, aramid fiber has good fatigue resistance, and even under long-term repeated loads, it can maintain stable structure and mechanical properties, thereby improving the reliability and durability of the tire. For longevity, the carcass layer 22 uses carbon fiber material with very low density, which can reduce the mass of the tire itself and thus reduce the total weight of the vehicle. It also has high strength and high rigidity, which helps to improve overall performance and fuel efficiency. The bead layer 23 uses nylon fiber with good elasticity, which can better absorb vibration when encountering uneven road surfaces or obstacles, reducing the transmission of vibration to the driver and passengers, thereby improving driving comfort. In addition, the nylon fiber has very high tensile strength, which can effectively prevent the tire from deforming or tearing under pressure, thus ensuring the structural integrity and stability of the tire. During installation, the staff can use the limiting ring 3 as an alignment reference to ensure the correct connection between the tire and the rim, which helps to quickly install it in place. The internal protrusion 4 can increase the friction to a certain extent, thereby further ensuring the overall stability after installation. The steel wire ring 5 is located at the bead of the outer tire layer 1, which can provide additional strength to prevent the tire from falling off the rim during high-speed operation or high-speed cornering, thereby ensuring sufficient traction and tightness. The whole is lighter and easier for the staff to install, further improving the actual effect.

[0039] The above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model. Any non-substantial changes and substitutions made by those skilled in the art based on this utility model shall fall within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.
