TECHNICAL AREA
[0001] The present invention relates to a tire. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002] With the increasing need to improve tire lifespan performance, it is necessary to extend the lifespan not only of the tread section, but also of elements such as the clinch section, sidewall section, bead section, and the like. The clinch section, in particular, is susceptible to repeated deformation.
[0003] WO 2020 / 080150 A1 describes a tire which incorporates a clinch apex of a predetermined rubber composition for a clinch apex and exhibits improved low heat generation and durability at high speed. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0004] Meanwhile, in recent years, demands have increased, taking environmental impact into account, and electric vehicles have become increasingly popular. The weight of a battery is also added to the electric vehicle's overall weight. Therefore, it is assumed that tires must have the durability to withstand driving under a higher assumed load than before.
[0005] One object of the present invention is to provide a tire that exhibits improved durability during driving under high load.
[0006] The present invention relates to a tire comprising: a bead section, a carcass layer and a clinch section, where a bead core is embedded in the bead section, wherein the clinch section is made of a rubber composition comprising a rubber component, wherein a complex elastic modulus at 70 °C of the rubber composition forming the clinch section, (70 °CE* C ) 20 MPa or less, and where a maximum load capacity W L in kg of the tire and a tanδ at 70 °C of the rubber composition forming the clinch section, (70 °C-tanδ C ) satisfy the following inequality (1): (70 °C−tanδc+0.205) / WL<2.57×10−4
[0007] According to the present invention, a tire is provided which has improved durability when driving under high load. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE FIGURES Fig. Figure 1 is a schematic cross-sectional partial view of a tire according to an embodiment of the present invention. Fig. Figure 2 is a schematic cross-sectional partial view of the tire according to a further embodiment of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0008] The tire, which is an embodiment of the present invention, is a tire comprising a bead section, a carcass layer, and a clinch section, wherein a bead core is embedded in the bead section, and wherein the clinch section is composed of a rubber composition comprising a rubber component, wherein the rubber composition forming the clinch section has a complex modulus of elasticity at 70 °C (70 °CE*). C ) 20 MPa or less and where a maximum load capacity W L in kg of the tire and a tanδ at 70 °C of the rubber composition forming the clinch section, (70 °C-tanδ C ) satisfy the following inequality (1): (70 °C−tanδc+0.205) / WL<2.57×10−4
[0009] Although it is not intended to adhere to any particular theory, the following, for example, can be regarded as a mechanism for improving the durability of the tire of the present invention during driving under high load.
[0010] The clinch section is susceptible to repeated deformation. In the tire of the present invention, (1) if the complex modulus of elasticity at 70 °C of the rubber composition forming the clinch section is 20 MPa or less, the flexibility of the rubber composition is improved so that the rubber composition can be flexibly deformed in accordance with the deformation of the clinch section, thereby improving durability.
[0011] If the maximum load capacity W LIf the tire's volume is large, the tire's overall volume will be large, making it less likely that local elongation will occur throughout the tire. Furthermore, by reducing the tanδ at 70 °C of the rubber compound, a temperature rise in the clinch section during driving can be suppressed. Therefore, (2) if 70 °C tanδ and W L satisfy the inequality described above, W L The temperature coefficient is large, and the 70°C tanδ becomes small, thus reducing the strain and heat generation exerted on the clinch section. It is therefore assumed that the combination of these features can achieve a significant improvement in durability during high-load driving.
[0012] If a maximum thickness of the clinch section is defined as T in mm, a product (T × 70 °CE* C ) of T and 70 °CE* C Preferably 270 or less.
[0013] If the thickness of the clinch section decreases, the volume of the rubber compound in that section is reduced, and heat generation in the clinch section can be suppressed, thus reducing the temperature rise in the clinch section during driving. (If T × 70 °CE*) C If the temperature rise in the clinch section is 270 or less, it can be suppressed even if the flexibility of the rubber composition is low, so it is assumed that durability is further improved.
[0014] The rubber component preferably comprises a styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR). When the rubber component comprises an SBR, a domain in which styrene of the SBR is aggregated is formed in the rubber composition, and this domain can relieve stress during clinch deformation, so that the temperature rise in the clinch section is assumed to be suppressed.
[0015] The rubber composition preferably includes recycled carbon black (rCB). Since a surface of the rCB has been burned, its bond with a polymer in the rubber composition is weaker than that of other fillers, and when the rubber composition is deformed, it is easier for a rubber molecular chain to relieve stress, and shock during tire rolling is easily absorbed within the clinch section, so that durability is assumed to be further improved.
[0016] W L preferably 1000 kg or more. If W L The larger the tire's volume, the less likely it is that local elongation will occur throughout the entire tire, thus improving durability.
[0017] The bead core can be formed from a strip obtained by laminating one or more rows arranged parallel to each other (hereinafter referred to as a strip bead structure) or from a core cord and one or more outer cords arranged helically around the core cord (hereinafter referred to as a cable bead structure). However, the bead core is preferably formed from a core cord and one or more outer cords arranged helically around the core cord. Furthermore, the diameter of the core cord is preferably larger than any diameter of the one or more outer cords. The number of one or more outer cords is preferably 5 to 10.
[0018] If the bead core, which abuts the clinch section, has a predetermined structure, the clinch section will be able to move away from the surrounding area of the bead core when deformation occurs in the clinch section, and the concentration of strain can be suppressed, so that durability is assumed to be further improved.
[0019] The bead section has a bead tapex located on an outside side in a tire radial direction relative to the bead core, and a bead reinforcement layer located on an outside side in the tire radial direction relative to a wound part of the carcass layer.
[0020] If the bead section has a predetermined structure, stiffness in one tire width direction is increased, and local deformation of the clinch section is suppressed, so it is assumed that durability is further improved.
[0021] The clinch section is preferably located on the outer side of the tire in the radial direction, relative to the bead reinforcement layer. This is because it is assumed that stiffness is increased in the tire's width direction, thus further improving durability.
[0022] The bead core comprises one or more cords and a cord cover rubber covering the cords, with a 100% modulus of the cord cover rubber preferably being 5.0 MPa or more and 10.0 MPa or less. Furthermore, the force required to pull the cord off the cord cover rubber, measured in accordance with ASTM 1871, is preferably 500 N or more and 2000 N or less. This is because it is believed to increase the stiffness of the bead section, thus further improving tire durability. <definitionen>
[0023] A "maximum thickness T in mm of a clinch section" is the maximum thickness of the clinch section measured along a normal L on an outer surface of the clinch section. Furthermore, the "maximum thickness T in mm of the clinch section" is measured in a state where a tire is cut on a plane containing a tire axis of rotation and the width of a bead section is matched to the width of a standardized rim.
[0024] A "standardized rim" is a rim within a standard system that includes a standard on which the tire is based, defined by the standard for each tire—that is, a "standard rim" for JATMA, a "Measuring Rim" for ETRTO, or a "Design Rim" for TRA—referenced in that order. If an applicable size exists at the time of reference, the rim conforms to its standard. Furthermore, if a tire size is not defined in the standard system described above, the standardized rim is a rim that can be fitted to the tire and whose width is the narrowest among rims with the smallest diameter that will not cause air leakage between the rim and the tire.
[0025] A "standardized internal pressure" is an air pressure in a standard system containing a standard on which the tire is based, defined by the standard for each tire, that is, a "MAXIMUM AIR PRESSURE" for JATMA, "INFLATION PRESSURE" for ETRTO, or a maximum value described in the "TIRE LOAD LIMITS AT VARIOUS COLD INFLATION PRESSURES" table for TRA, to which reference is made in that order, as in the case of the standardized rim, and if there is an applicable size at the time of reference, the rim conforms to its standard. In the case of a tire not defined by the standard, the standardized internal pressure refers to a standardized internal pressure (250 kPa or more) of another tire size (defined by the standard) for which the standardized rim is described as a standard rim.Furthermore, if several standardized internal pressures of 250 kPa or more are described, reference is made to the minimum value below that.
[0026] A "standardized condition" is a condition in which the tire is mounted on a standardized rim, filled with a standardized internal pressure, and no load is applied.
[0027] A "maximum load capacity (W)" L ) in kg" is a value calculated by the following equations (2) and (3) when a tire cross-sectional width is defined as Wt in mm, a tire cross-sectional height is defined as Ht in mm, and a tire outer diameter is defined as Dt in mm, as measured under a standardized condition. V is a virtual volume of a space occupied by the tire. The tire cross-sectional width Wt described above is a maximum width between outer surfaces of sidewalls, excluding, if present, patterns or markings on a sidewall of the tire, under a standardized condition. The tire cross-sectional height Ht described above is a distance from a bottom face of a bead section to an outermost surface of a tread, which is half the difference between the outer diameter of the tire and a nominal size of a rim. V={(Dt / 2)2−(Dt / 2−Ht)2}×π×Wt WL=0.000011×V+100
[0028] A “recovered carbon black” refers to carbon black obtained from a pyrolysis process for a product, such as a used tire or similar material, containing carbon black, where, when the product is subjected to oxidative combustion by heating in air using a thermal weight measurement method according to JIS K 6226-2:2003, the ratio of mass to ash (ash content), which is a non-combustible component, is 13% by mass or more. That is, the mass (amount of carbon) of content loss due to the oxidative combustion described above is less than 87% by mass. The recovered carbon black is also referred to as reclaimed carbon black or can be expressed as rCB.
[0029] An “oil content” also includes the amount of oil contained in an oil-extended rubber. <messverfahren>
[0030] "70 °C-tanδ" is a loss tangent measured using a viscoelasticity measuring device manufactured by gabo Systemtechnik GmbH, e.g., the EPLEXOR series, under conditions of a temperature of 70 °C, a frequency of 10 Hz, an initial strain of 5%, a dynamic strain of ±1%, and an elongation mode. The sample used to measure the loss tangent is a vulcanized rubber compound measuring 20 mm in length × 4 mm in width × 1 mm in thickness. If the sample is produced by cutting it from a tire, it is cut from the tire's clinch section such that a side tangential to a tire circumference becomes a long side, and a side tangential to the tire width becomes a thickness side.
[0031] “70 °CE*” is a complex elastic modulus (MPa) measured under conditions of a temperature of 70 °C, a frequency of 10 Hz, and a dynamic strain of 1%. A sample for measuring the complex elastic modulus is prepared in the same way as in the case for 70 °C tanδ.
[0032] A “100% modulus” is a stress at 100% strain (MPa) obtained by producing a test piece in the shape of dumbbell No. 7 with a thickness of 1 mm and performing a tensile test under a tensile speed of 3.3 mm / sec in an atmosphere of 23 °C according to JIS K 6251 “Rubber, vulcanized or thermoplastics - Determination of tensile stress strain properties”.
[0033] A “force of pulling a cord” is a maximum load (N) until it is pulled out, measured under a condition at room temperature (23 °C) and a speed of 50 mm / min in accordance with ASTM-1871 “Standard Test Method for Adhesion Between Tire Bead Wire and Rubber”.
[0034] An "average primary particle size" is a value obtained by photographing particles using a transmission or scanning electron microscope and calculating the arithmetic mean of the particle sizes of 400 particles. If the particle shape is spherical, the diameter of a sphere is defined as a particle size; if the shape is not spherical, an equivalent circle diameter (positive square root of {4 × (area of particle) ÷ π}) is calculated from a microscope image and defined as a particle size. This definition is applied to soot, etc.
[0035] The "N2SA of soot" is measured according to JIS K 6217-2:2017.
[0036] A "styrene content" is a value determined by 1 A “cis content (cis-1,4-bonded butadiene unit quantity)” is calculated by infrared absorption spectrometry according to JIS K 6239-2:2017 and is applied, for example, to a rubber component with a repeating unit derived from butadiene, such as an SBR and the like. <reifen>
[0037] A process for producing a tire, which is an embodiment of the present invention, is described in detail below. However, the following descriptions are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the technical scope of the present invention to this description. Furthermore, in this description, a numerical range identified as "to" means that it contains the numerical values from both ends.

[0046] The bead core preferably comprises a cord cover rubber that covers the cord. The cord cover rubber is composed of a rubber composition comprising a rubber component. Furthermore, the joining of the rubber composition forming the cord cover rubber is not particularly restricted.

In addition, the 100% modulus is preferably 15.0 MPa or less, and more preferably 10.0 MPa or less.
[0047] Furthermore, the 100% modulus of the rubber compound can be appropriately adjusted depending on the types and quantities of fillers, softeners, vulcanizing agents, vulcanization accelerators, and the like.

Furthermore, the force is preferably 2500 N or less, more preferably 2000 N or less, and most preferably 1600 N or less. The force required to pull the cord from the cord-cover rubber is also measured by the method described above in accordance with ASTM 1871.
[0049] Furthermore, the force of pulling the cord from the cord-top rubber can be appropriately adjusted depending on the types and quantities of fillers, softeners, vulcanizing agents, vulcanization accelerators, and the like in the rubber composition that forms the cord-top rubber. < <clinchabschnitt>>

Furthermore, the rubber composition may include other rubber components than those listed above. In addition, the rubber component may be a rubber component consisting of an isoprene-based rubber, a BR, and an SBR. (Isoprene-based rubber)
[0059] Isoprene-based rubbers can include those commonly used in the tire industry, such as isoprene rubber (IR), natural rubber, and the like. Examples of natural rubber include unrefined natural rubber (NR) and refined natural rubbers, such as epoxidized natural rubber (ENR), hydrogenated natural rubber (HNR), deproteinized natural rubber (DPNR), ultrapure natural rubber, grafted natural rubber, and the like. These isoprene-based rubbers can be used individually, or two or more can be used in combination.

These BRs can be used individually, or two or more of them can be used in combination.
[0063] For example, the high-cis BR can be one commercially available from Zeon Corporation, Ube Industries, Ltd., JSR Corporation, etc. When the high-cis BR is used, low-temperature properties and abrasion resistance can be improved. The cis content of the high-cis BR is preferably 95 mol% or more, more preferably 96 mol% or more, and most preferably 97 mol% or more. Furthermore, the cis content of the BR is measured using the measurement method described above.
[0064] For the purposes of the present invention, the content of BR, when combined, in the rubber component is preferably 10 wt% or more, more preferably 15 wt% or more, still more preferably 20 wt% or more, still more preferably 25 wt% or more, and most preferably 30 wt% or more. Furthermore, the content of SBR, when combined, in the rubber component is preferably 85 wt% or less, more preferably 80 wt% or less, still more preferably 75 wt% or less, still more preferably 70 wt% or less, and most preferably 65 wt% or less. (SBR)
[0065] The SBR is not particularly restricted; examples include solution-polymerized SBR (S-SBR), emulsion-polymerized SBR (E-SBR), modified SBRs (a modified S-SBR, a modified E-SBR), and the like. Examples of modified SBRs include SBRs modified at their end and / or main chain, modified SBRs coupled with tin, a silicon compound, etc. (a modified SBR of condensate or with a branched structure, etc.), and the like.

(Other rubber components)

[0069] The rubber composition according to the present embodiment preferably comprises carbon black and / or silicon dioxide as a filler and further preferably comprises carbon black. In addition, the filler can be a filler consisting of carbon black. (Soot)
[0070] The carbon black is not particularly restricted, and those commonly used in the tire industry, such as GPF, FEF, HAF, ISAF, SAF, and the like, can be used. Furthermore, from the perspective of environmental impact and reducing friction between a carbon black surface and a rubber molecule chain to suppress heat generation, recovered carbon black (rCB) obtained from the pyrolysis of a used tire can be used. These carbon blacks can be used alone, or two or more can be used in combination. In particular, it is preferred to use an rCB in combination with a carbon black other than the rCB.
[0071] The recovered carbon black can be obtained from a pyrolysis process of a used pneumatic tire. EP 3427975 A, for example, describes, with reference to “Rubber Chemistry and Technology”, Vol. 85, No. 3, pages 408 to 449 (2012), in particular pages 438, 440 and 442, that the recovered carbon black can be obtained by pyrolysis of an organic material at 550 °C to 800 °C in the absence of oxygen or by vacuum pyrolysis at a relatively low temperature (
[0027] ). As mentioned in
[0004] of JP 6856781 B (A comparison of surface morphology and chemistry of pyrolytic carbon blacks with commercial carbon blacks, Powder Technology 160 (2005) 190-193), such carbon black obtained by the pyrolysis process typically lacks a functional group on its surface.
[0072] The recovered carbon black may lack a functional group on its surface, or it may be treated so that its surface includes a functional group.

[0110] According to the compound formulations shown in Tables 1 and 4, using a closed 1.7-liter Banbury mixer, all chemicals other than sulfur and vulcanization accelerator are kneaded for 5 minutes until a discharge temperature of 170 °C is reached to obtain a kneaded product. Next, using an open twin-screw mixer, sulfur and vulcanization accelerator are added to the resulting kneaded product, and the mixture is kneaded for 4 minutes until the temperature reaches 105 °C to obtain an unvulcanized rubber composition.The resulting unvulcanized rubber composition is extruded into a clinch section shape using an extruder equipped with a die of a predetermined shape and joined with a tread section, carcass layer, sidewall section, bead section formed as a cord-rubber composite (the bead core has a cord and a cord cover rubber covering the cord, where a 100% modulus of the cord cover rubber is defined as 7.0 MPa and where a force of pulling the cord from the cord cover rubber is defined as 1300 N) and other tire elements, forming an unvulcanized tire, and the unvulcanized tire is press-vulcanized under a condition of 170 °C for 12 minutes to produce each test tire.Furthermore, Tables 1 to 4 show a structure of the bead core embedded in the bead section, in a case where it is brought into a strip obtained by laminating a series of four cords arranged parallel to each other in four layers, as a ribbon bead structure, or in a case where it is formed from a core cord and one or more outer cords arranged spirally around the core cord, as a cable bead structure. <Messung von 70 °C-tanδ und 70 °C-E*>
[0111] A rubber test piece is produced by cutting a 20 mm long × 4 mm wide × 1 mm thick section from a clinch section of each test tire, such that a side tangential to a tire circumference direction becomes a long side and a tire width direction (a normal direction to the surface of the clinch section) becomes a thickness direction. For each rubber test piece, a tanδ and a complex modulus of elasticity (E*) are measured using the EPLEXOR series manufactured by gabo Systemtechnik GmbH under conditions of a temperature of 70 °C, a frequency of 10 Hz, an initial strain of 10%, a dynamic strain of ±1%, and an elongation mode. <Haltbarkeit während Fahren unter hoher Last>
[0112] Each test tire is mounted in a standardized rim, inflated to a standardized internal pressure, and then driven on a drum at a speed of 80 km / h with a 1000 kg load. The distance to tire failure is measured, with a reference comparison example (Comparison Example 9 in Tables 1 and 2, Comparison Example 18 in Tables 3 and 4) of 100, which serves as a durability index during high-load driving. The results show that the higher the index, the better the durability during high-load driving.
