Definitions
- the subject invention relates to a vehicle pneumatic tire with an at least one-sided radial carcass, a profiled tread with grooves that run to the full profile depth and shoulder transverse grooves that extend beyond the width of the outer surface, each of which is at least partially designed to the full professional depth and whose envelope defines the beam contour in the tire cross-section , and with a belt bandage consisting in particular of at least two belt layers, which has a width that exceeds the width of the footprint of the tire, the course of the underside contour at least substantially matching the course of the belt bandage.
- Vehicle tires usually have a contour curved in the transverse direction, which is composed either of a curvature with a constant radius or of several curvatures of different radii, the largest radius being selected in the central part of the tread.
- the selected curvature is intended to ensure when the tire deflects while rolling that the contact pressure in the ground contact area is as balanced as possible.
- the belt association arranged radially within the tread usually follows this curvature, as a result of which the circumferential length of the belt association is larger in the central region of the tire than at its edge regions. When the tire rolls off, this causes slippage in the ground contact area and increased tension on the belt edges. This not only has a negative impact on the durability of the belt, especially around the edges, but also on rolling resistance and tread wear.
- AT 354 273 B proposes to arrange partial belt layers in the belt edge regions, wedge-shaped rubber inserts being arranged between the partial belt layers and the radially innermost belt layers.
- the invention has now set itself the task of building or designing vehicle tires provided for both passenger cars and commercial vehicles in such a way that the belt edge durability is markedly improved, the tread ablation is reduced or evened out and the rolling resistance is reduced without influencing the design of the outer contour of the tire Tire, especially in the tread and shoulder area, must be taken.
- the object set is achieved according to the invention in that the Unterzugskontur is guided at least along with the Gürtei notion at least the lateral edges of the contact patch beginning substantially tangentially to the outside, so that in the compressed state of the 'Rerfens in the ground contact patch, both the Unterzugsko ⁇ tur and the belt bandage over their entire extent is at least essentially parallel to the ground contour.
- the belt bandage follows a contour parallel to the ground contour in the compressed and loaded state, so that the belt edges are on a diameter that comes much closer to the diameter of the belt in the center of the tire than at Tires that are designed according to the known prior art.
- This largely prevents unwanted slippage, increases belt edge durability, reduces rolling resistance and has a positive effect on evening out tread wear.
- the desired curvature should still be maintained over at least a large part of the width of the tread that comes into contact with the ground. It is therefore advantageous if the tangential continuation of the beam contour and the course of the belt bandage begins at a distance from the lateral edges of the ground contact area , which is a maximum of 15%, in particular up to 10%, of the width of the ground contact patch
- the outer contour of the tire is at least substantially preserved or does not differ or differs very little from the usual outer contour for tires known from the prior art.
- the design according to the invention is supplemented or introduced below the edge areas of the belt assembly of mixing or rubber material, the tread strip being designed with a lower mixing or rubber material at its edge areas.
- this mixing or rubber material introduced below the edge regions is realized by voluminous side walls, but can also be formed by at least one rubber profile used in each case.
- FIG. 1 shows a partial cross section through a vehicle tire designed according to the prior art
- FIG. 2 shows a partial cross section through an embodiment variant of a pneumatic vehicle tire according to the invention
- the cross sections shown in the two drawing figures are each cross sections through half of a radial pneumatic vehicle tire intended for passenger cars.
- the second half of the tire is designed to match
- tread 1 has a tread 1 on which is provided with a tread pattern is.
- the tread 1 extends laterally beyond the shoulder areas and into the upper areas of the side walls 2.
- Circumferential grooves 8 of the tread pattern are shown in the sectional illustration, here there are a total of five, for example, and a transverse groove 9 starting from the circumferential groove 8 closest to the tire shoulder, which only runs out in the upper side wall region.
- Such transverse grooves 9, which do not have to run exactly in the axial direction, but often deviate from the axial direction by a small acute angle, are provided in a plurality in both tread halves and form shoulder blocks, which are not shown here.
- the groove base of these transverse grooves 9 and at least the circumferential grooves 8 is delimited over the tire circumference by an envelope, of which the cutting contour, which is numbered 1 a and is referred to below as the beam contour, is shown in FIG.
- a belt assembly 3 Arranged radially inside the tread 1 is a belt assembly 3 which, in the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, has two belt layers 3a, 3b, of which the belt layer 3b located radially further inward is made somewhat wider than the outer belt layer 3a.
- the two belt layers 3a, 3b can be constructed in a conventional manner, for example consist of steel cords embedded in a corresponding rubber mixture and running parallel to each other within each layer. A crossed arrangement is usually provided between the steel cords of one layer and the steel cords of the other layer.
- the tire shown in Fig. 1 also has a single-layer radial carcass 4 in the illustrated embodiment, which runs in the area of the beads 5 of the tire from the inside to the outside via bead cores 5a and extends back into the side walls 2, here up to a height above the end areas of core professionals 6.
- B is the largest width of this Ground contact area under standard conditions (normal pressure and normal load according to ETRTO standards).
- the belt bandage is, as usual, wider than the width B.
- the tire shown in Fig. 1 has one of the usual slightly curved outer contours in the tread and in the shoulder areas, in order to keep the contact pressure acting in the ground contact surface as balanced as possible during deflection, which is necessary for the power transmission and for building the desired load-bearing capacity.
- the beam contour 1a and the edge contours of the belt layers 3a, 3b follow the curvature of the carcass 4, so that these components or their contours generally also run at least essentially parallel to one another in the shoulder areas.
- the mutual course of the beam outline 1a, the belt plies 3a, 3b and the carcass 4 arises due to the structure of the tire and the subsequent vulcanization in a vulcanization form adapted to the desired outer contour of the tire and impressing the profile of the tread.
- the belt assembly 3 also follows the selected curvature.
- a curved belt now has different circumferential lengths in its central region and at its edge regions, which causes slip movements in the contact area and increased tension at the belt edges when the tire rolls off. This in turn has a negative impact on belt durability, rolling resistance and also profile durability due to uneven abrasion.
- the tire shown in FIG. 2 and designed according to the invention is designed to match the one shown in FIG. 1 with regard to the design and arrangement of the carcass 14, the beads 15 with bead cores 15a and core profiles 16.
- the outer and inner contours also correspond to those according to FIG. 1.
- the tire shown in FIG. 2 also has a tread pattern with circumferential grooves 18 and shoulder transverse grooves 19, each of which extends from the circumferential groove 18 on the shoulder side beyond the tread edges (footprint width B).
- the undercutting contour 11a of the circumferential grooves 18 made to full tread depth and the transverse grooves 19 starting with full tread depth is designed in this tire in such a way that it at least essentially tangentially and axially in the area of the lateral edges of width B of the ground contact patch is continued outside.
- the beam contour 11a of the transverse grooves 19 therefore no longer follows the contour of the carcass 14.
- the belt assembly 13, which here also consists of two belt layers 13a, 13b, of which the layer 13b is the wider, also laterally projects beyond the width B of the ground contact area of the Tire and is arranged so that it follows the beam outline 11a towards the shoulder areas.
- the design is preferably made such that when the tire is sprung, both the beam contour 11a and the belt assembly 13 run at least substantially parallel to the ground contour.
- the unloaded tire has a certain curvature, which is followed by both the tread 11 or its beam contour 11a and the belt assembly 13.
- the tangential alignment of the beam outline 11a and the belt assembly 13 should therefore begin at a distance from the edge of the width B at the earliest, which is 15%, in particular at most 10%, from the edge in question.
- the contour design according to the invention can in principle be achieved by certain layers of mixture material and by vulcanization of the green tire in a form which the undercarriage contour 11a forms in the region of the shoulder transverse grooves 19.
- the tread 11 is created with a little less material at its edge regions and material is added to the side wall mixture in the region below the edge regions of the belt assembly 13.
- a one-piece or multi-piece rubber profile with a suitable one Cross-section and corresponding cross-sectional area or volume when installing the green tire.
- the invention is not restricted to the exemplary embodiment shown.
- the present invention is also applicable to vehicle tires for commercial vehicles and can be used with good results in terms of improving the belt edges, durability and rolling resistance.
- a multi-ply carcass can be provided instead of a single-ply carcass and there can also be more than two belt plies in the belt assembly.
- the tread can also be made in two parts and thus have a so-called cap / base construction.
- a separate thin rubber layer, a so-called sub-profile rubber can also be provided below the tread, between the belt bandage and the tread.
- the shoulder transverse grooves can merge into grooves at their outer end regions, which run into the upper side wall regions, are shallow and only have a decorative function.
