Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automobile tire technology, specifically to a support component and a tire including the support component. Background Technology

[0002] The main tire products currently available are ordinary pneumatic tires. However, the tiny gaps between tire molecules may allow gas to escape, which means that ordinary pneumatic tires need to be inflated frequently. In addition, ordinary pneumatic tires are easily punctured by sharp objects, leading to air leaks or blowouts. Especially in harsh road conditions, the presence of air pressure inside the tire limits its deformation ability, making it difficult to fully adapt to the irregular shape of the ground, and the risk of tire damage is higher. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a support member and a tire including the support member, which can replace the airbag to support the tire, and has the properties of puncture resistance, high load-bearing capacity, high and low temperature resistance, and light weight, and has extremely strong practicality.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0005] A support member includes a first support housing, an intermediate support portion, and a second support housing. Both the first and second support housings are annular structures and coaxially arranged. The intermediate support portion is disposed between the first and second support housings. A plurality of intermediate support portions are arranged circumferentially along the first support housing. Each intermediate support portion has radial elasticity to allow it to be positioned in a first or a second position.

[0006] When the intermediate support is in the first position, the intermediate support is not compressed, and the intermediate support is close to its adjacent intermediate support.

[0007] When the intermediate support is in the second position, the intermediate support is compressed, and a certain gap is generated between the intermediate support and its adjacent intermediate support.

[0008] Furthermore, the intermediate support portion is integrally formed with the first support shell and the second support shell or is fixedly connected by a welding composite method.

[0009] Furthermore, the intermediate support includes one or more sets of compression sections, each set of compression sections including two compression strips arranged in opposite directions, with a certain gap between adjacent compression strips.

[0010] Furthermore, the compression bar includes a first compression arm and a second compression arm. One end of the first compression arm is fixed to the first support housing to form a first compression portion. The other end of the first compression arm is fixed to one end of the second compression arm to form a second compression portion. The other end of the second compression arm is fixed to the second support housing to form a third compression portion, so that the two compression bars open outward.

[0011] Furthermore, both the first compression arm and the second compression arm are provided with arc-shaped protrusions arranged vertically.

[0012] Furthermore, the first compression part, the second compression part, and / or the third compression part are all arc-shaped structures.

[0013] Furthermore, when the intermediate support includes multiple sets of compression sections, the multiple sets of compression sections are arranged along the axial direction of the first support housing.

[0014] Furthermore, one end of the first compression arm is fixed to the inner side of the first support housing, and the other end of the second compression arm is fixed to the inner side of the second support housing.

[0015] Furthermore, the first support housing is provided with a protrusion that extends beyond the outer side of the first support housing, and the second support housing is provided with a recess that is recessed into the inner side of the second support housing.

[0016] A tire including a support member, comprising:

[0017] Tire tread;

[0018] The second support body is disposed on the inner side of the tire tread and is coaxially arranged with the tire tread.

[0019] The aforementioned support member has the first support housing disposed on the inner side of the second support body;

[0020] The first support body is disposed on the inner side of the second support shell;

[0021] An elastic support is disposed on the inner side of the first support.

[0022] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages and beneficial effects:

[0023] This utility model provides a support member and a tire including the support member.

[0024] This invention can replace the support portion of a conventional pneumatic tire. The support component, comprising a combination of a first support shell, an intermediate support portion, and a second support shell, provides strong support for the vehicle. The first support shell protects the tire from punctures when encountering sharp objects. Furthermore, the performance of conventional pneumatic tires is significantly limited when driving on soft, muddy, or uneven surfaces. Due to the internal air pressure, the tire's deformation capacity is restricted, making it difficult to fully adapt to irregular terrain shapes. The support component provided in this embodiment, through the compression or non-compression of the intermediate support portion, greatly enhances the tire's deformation capacity, enabling it to cope with complex terrain conditions.

[0037] Example 1

[0038] Example 1 provides a support member 1, such as Figures 1-5 As shown, it includes a first support shell 11, an intermediate support portion 12, and a second support shell 13. Both the first support shell 11 and the second support shell 13 are annular structures and are arranged coaxially. The intermediate support portion 12 is disposed between the first support shell 11 and the second support shell 13. A plurality of intermediate support portions 12 are arranged circumferentially along the first support shell 11. The intermediate support portion 12 has elasticity in the radial direction so that the intermediate support portion 12 is in a first position or a second position.

[0039] When the intermediate support 12 is in the first position, the intermediate support 12 is not compressed and the intermediate support 12 is close to its adjacent intermediate support 12.

[0040] When the intermediate support 12 is in the second position, the intermediate support 12 is compressed, and a certain gap is generated between the intermediate support 12 and its adjacent intermediate support 12.

[0041] This embodiment provides a support member 1 that can replace the support portion of a conventional pneumatic tire. The support member 1 comprises a combination of a first support shell 11, an intermediate support portion 12, and a second support shell 13, providing strong support for the vehicle. The first support shell 11 protects the tire from punctures when encountering sharp objects. Furthermore, the performance of conventional pneumatic tires is significantly limited when driving on soft, muddy, or uneven surfaces. Due to the internal air pressure, the tire's deformation capacity is restricted, making it difficult to fully adapt to irregular ground shapes. The support member 1 provided in this embodiment, through the compression or non-compression of the intermediate support portion 12, greatly enhances the tire's deformation capacity, enabling it to cope with complex terrain.

[0042] In this embodiment, the intermediate support 12 is integrally formed with the first support shell 11 and the second support shell 13 or is fixedly connected by a welding composite method.

[0043] In this embodiment, as Figures 1-3 As shown, the intermediate support 12 includes one or more sets of compression sections. Each set of compression sections includes two compression strips 121 arranged in opposite directions. There is a certain gap between adjacent compression strips 121 to improve the compressive strength of the support member 1. If adjacent compression strips 121 are connected together, the degree of compression of the intermediate support 12 is greatly reduced, which limits the compressive strength of the support member 1 and makes it unable to cope with uneven or complex ground environments.

[0044] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the two compression bars 121 are set at a certain distance to make the middle of the support part hollow, so that the two compression bars 121 can be supported and the two compression bars 121 are set at a certain distance to facilitate the passage of obstacles.

[0045] In this embodiment, as Figures 1-3As shown, the compression strip 121 is V-shaped and includes a first compression arm 1211 and a second compression arm 1212. One end of the first compression arm 1211 is fixed to the first support housing 11 to form a first compression portion 1213. The other end of the first compression arm 1211 is fixed to one end of the second compression arm 1212 to form a second compression portion 1214. The other end of the second compression arm 1212 is fixed to the first support housing 11 to form a third compression portion 1215, causing the two compression strips 121 to spread outward. By setting the first compression portion 1213, the second compression portion 1214, and the third compression portion 1215, the support part has greater elasticity and toughness. The multiple support parts form a radial mesh suspension structure. The high elasticity ring bearing structure formed by the first support housing 11 and the second support housing 13 provides rigidity for the entire tire, providing support for the tire. At the same time, the extension and retraction of the compression strip 121 in the mesh suspension structure formed by the multiple support parts achieves shock absorption and obstacle crossing for the tire, thereby improving its comfort.

[0046] In this embodiment, adjacent support parts are close together to prevent debris from entering the inner cavity of support 1. The distance between adjacent support parts is less than 2mm, and several support parts form a special hollow structure and a biomimetic fish gill breathing tire curtain. When the tire is moving, the heat generated by the tire tread 2 can be exchanged with the air at any time, similar to our breathing. It has excellent functions such as maintenance-free, no tire blowout, puncture-proof, high-speed driving, strong load-bearing capacity, high temperature resistance, low temperature resistance, low fuel consumption, light weight, and free connection with the wheel hub. In this new tire revolution, it has a significant impact on the future development of tires. More importantly, it is reflected in the future battlefield, providing strong safety guarantee for mobile combat.

[0047] In this embodiment, as Figures 1-3 As shown, both the first compression arm 1211 and the second compression arm 1212 are provided with arc-shaped protrusions arranged vertically to improve the toughness, support force and elasticity of the compression strip 121.

[0048] In this embodiment, as Figures 1-3 As shown, the first compression part 1213, the second compression part 1214 and / or the third compression part 1215 are all arc-shaped structures 1216 to improve the toughness, support and elasticity of the compression strip 121.

[0049] In this embodiment, when the intermediate support 12 includes multiple sets of compression sections, the multiple sets of compression sections are arranged along the axial direction of the first support housing 11. On the one hand, the outwardly expanding compression strips 121 can block debris from entering the inner cavity of the support member 1; on the other hand, it keeps the first support housing 11 and the second support housing 13 in a concentric circle. At the same time, the multiple sets of compression sections also play a role in filtering vibration.

[0050] In this embodiment, one end of the first compression arm 1211 is fixed to the inner side of the first support housing 11, and the other end of the second compression arm 1212 is fixed to the inner side of the second support housing 13.

[0051] In this embodiment, as Figures 2-4 As shown, in order to ensure the elasticity of the middle support portion 12, the middle support portion 12 also includes a first support plate 1217 and a second support plate 1218. The first support plate 1217 is fixed on the first support housing 11, and the second support plate 1217 is fixed on the second support housing 13. One end of the first compression arm 1211 is fixed to the first support plate 1217 to form a first compression portion 1213. The other end of the first compression arm 1211 is fixed to one end of the second compression arm 1212 to form a second compression portion 1214. The other end of the second compression arm 1212 is fixed to the second support plate 1218 to form a third compression portion 1215, so that the two compression bars 121 open outward.

[0052] In this embodiment, as Figure 4 As shown, in order to further ensure the elasticity of the intermediate support 12, a retractable curtain 1219 is also wrapped around the first support plate 1217 and the second support plate 1218.

[0055] Tread 2;

[0056] The second support 3 is located on the inner side of the tread 2;

[0057] The aforementioned support member 1 is located on the inner side of the second support body 3;

[0058] The first support 4 is located on the inner side of the support member 1;

[0059] The elastic support 5 is located on the inner side of the first support 4.

[0060] In this embodiment, a protrusion 111 is provided on the outer side of the first support housing 11. The protrusion 111 protrudes from the outer side of the first support housing 11, giving the tread 2 and the second support body 3 a certain pressure, so that the first support housing 11, the second support body 3 and the tread 2 cooperate well to support the tread 2, so that the tread 2 can cope with various complex or uneven ground environments.

[0061] In this embodiment, a recess 131 is provided on the inner side of the second support housing 13. The recess 131 is recessed into the inner side of the second support housing 13, which applies a certain pressure to the first support body 4 and the elastic support body 5, so that the support member 1, the first support body 4 and the elastic support body 5 can cooperate well, thereby preventing the elastic support body 5 from running out during driving.

[0062] In this embodiment, the tread 2, the second support 3, the support member 1, the first support 4, and the elastic support 5 are connected sequentially by a connector, and the tread 2, the second support 3, the support member 1, the first support 4, and the elastic support 5 are coaxially arranged.

[0063] In this embodiment, the connector is made of a flexible and elastic material to give it high strength and high toughness. The connector is evenly laid between adjacent components to maximize the contact area between them, thereby increasing the bonding strength. Furthermore, the even laying of the connector ensures a stable connection between adjacent components, improving the stability and safety of the overall structure.

[0064] In this embodiment, the connector is made of a flexible and elastic material to give it high strength and high toughness. The connector is evenly laid between adjacent components to maximize the contact area between them, thereby increasing the bonding strength. Furthermore, the even laying of the connector ensures a stable connection between adjacent components, improving the stability and safety of the overall structure.
