Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of tire technology, and in particular to tires for golf course vehicles. Background Technology

[0002] Tires are a crucial component of golf course vehicles. Traditional golf course vehicle tires suffer from the following technical drawbacks in design: First, their tread patterns are often simple, mostly using straight stripes or simple block patterns, resulting in significant vibration and noise when in contact with the ground, affecting ride comfort; second, conventional tires have many right angles in their tread patterns, causing considerable damage to the grass.

[0003] The above content is only used to help understand the technical solution of this application and does not represent an admission that the above content is the closest prior art to this application. Summary of the Invention

[0004] Based on this, this application provides a tire for golf course vehicles to solve one of the aforementioned technical problems.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this application to solve its technical problem is: a golf course vehicle tire, comprising: a tire body, the tire body having a central tread and side treads on its tread surface, the side treads being disposed on both sides of the central tread, the central tread being formed by a first tread group in a circumferential ring, the tire body having at least 5 circumferential grooves forming on its tread surface, the circumferential grooves dividing the first tread group, the first tread group having intermittent grooves parallel to the circumferential grooves; the side treads being formed by a second tread group in a circumferential ring, the second tread group having a central groove.

[0006] In some embodiments, the first tread pattern group includes two first center tread blocks and two second center tread blocks, and the intermittent grooves are provided on both sides of the first center tread blocks and the second center tread blocks, the intermittent grooves extending from the edge to the center of the tread block.

[0007] In some embodiments, the length of the first center tire block is less than that of the second center tire block, and the two second center tire blocks are located on both sides of the two first center tire blocks.

[0008] In some embodiments, the two opposite corners of the first and second center tire blocks are chamfered.

[0009] In some embodiments, the second tread pattern group includes two identical sidewall blocks extending from the shoulder to the crown region, with a central groove formed at the center of the sidewall block extending from one end of the sidewall block's shoulder to near the other end.

[0010] In some embodiments, the side block is a block with an arc-shaped outer contour.

[0011] In some embodiments, the length of the intermittent groove is 7-8 mm, the length of the central groove is 35-42 mm, and the depth of both the intermittent groove and the central groove is 3-4 mm.

[0012] In some embodiments, both the first tread pattern group and the second tread pattern group are arranged at an angle, each at a 10-15 degree angle to the axis of the tire body.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this application are as follows: the central tread pattern is separated by multiple circumferential grooves, and the spacing between adjacent first tread groups and adjacent second tread groups is reasonable. The presence of central grooves and intermittent grooves on the tread blocks reduces tread rigidity, disperses pressure to avoid damage to the lawn, and the central grooves and intermittent grooves also reduce the contact area between the tread pattern and the lawn, providing space for tread deformation, thus reducing noise generation and minimizing damage to the lawn. Both the first and second tread groups are at a 10-15 degree angle to the tire's axis and are aligned with the driving direction, reducing crushing damage to the lawn when the tire rotates. The tread pattern design is reasonable, aesthetically pleasing, and sophisticated. Attached Figure Description

[0019] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application. In addition, the technical solutions of various embodiments can be combined with each other, but this must be based on the ability of those of ordinary skill in the art to implement them. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be considered that such combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection of this application.

[0020] In the embodiments of this application, please refer to Figures 1-3 As shown, the golf course tire mainly includes: a tire body 1, the tire body 1 having a central tread 2 and sidewall tread 3 on its tread surface, the sidewall tread 3 being located on both sides of the central tread 2, the central tread 2 being formed by a first tread group 7 in a circumferential ring, the tire body 1 having at least 5 circumferential grooves 4 forming on its tread surface, the circumferential grooves 4 dividing the first tread group 7, the first tread group 7 having intermittent grooves 5 parallel to the circumferential grooves 4; the sidewall tread 3 being formed by a second tread group 8 in a circumferential ring, the second tread group 8 having a central groove 6, wherein the first tread group 7 occupies 4 / 5 of the tire crown area, the second tread group 8 occupies 1 / 5 of the tire crown area and the entire area of ​​the tire shoulder, and the width of the circumferential grooves 4 is 5-6 mm.

[0021] The following will continue to describe some preferred / improved embodiments based on the above embodiments. Any one of the following embodiments can be selected, or multiple embodiments can be combined.

[0022] like Figure 1 As shown, the first tread group 7 includes two first center tread blocks 701 and two second center tread blocks 702. The first center tread blocks 701 and the second center tread blocks 702 are provided with the interrupted grooves 5 on both sides. The interrupted grooves 5 extend from the edge to the center of the tread block. The two interrupted grooves 5 on the same tread block are on the same axial straight line. The interrupted grooves 5 can reduce the contact area between the tread and the ground, reduce noise generation, and provide space for tread block deformation, thus reducing damage to the lawn.

[0023] Specifically, the length of the first center tire block 701 is shorter than that of the second center tire block 702, and the two second center tire blocks 702 are located on both sides of the two first center tire blocks 701.

[0024] In some embodiments, the two opposite corners of the first central tire block 701 and the second central tire block 702 are chamfered. After the chamfering, the gap between adjacent tire treads increases, which can reduce the amount of debris stuck in the gap. In addition, the chamfering can reduce the angle of the tire tread edge and reduce damage to the lawn.

[0025] Furthermore, the second tread pattern group 8 includes two identical sidewall tread blocks 801, which extend from the tire shoulder to the tire crown area. The center groove 6 is formed at the center of the sidewall tread block 801 and extends from one end of the tire shoulder of the sidewall tread block 801 to near the other end.

[0026] like Figure 2 As shown, in order to reduce damage to the lawn, the side block 801 is a block with an arc-shaped outer contour.

[0027] Specifically, the length of the intermittent groove 5 is 7-8mm, the length of the central groove 6 is 35-42mm, and the depth of both the intermittent groove 5 and the central groove 6 is 3-4mm. The appropriate depth of the intermittent groove 5 and the central groove 6 can reduce the noise of vehicles while driving and reduce damage to the lawn.

[0028] like Figure 3 As shown, the first tread group 7 and the second tread group 8 are both arranged at an angle, each at a 10-15 degree angle to the axis of the tire body 1, and the direction of the inclination is along the direction of tire rotation, which can further reduce damage to the lawn.

[0029] The tires described in this application have the advantages of low noise, attractive appearance, environmental friendliness, and minimal damage to lawns.

[0030] The various embodiments of this application have now been described in detail. To avoid obscuring the concept of this application, some details known in the art have not been described.
