It is preferable that it is 15 mm or less from the direction upper end part. Moreover, it is also preferable that the bead filler disposed on the outer side in the tire radial direction of the bead core has a triangular cross section with a height of 15 mm or less.
- the folded end portion of the carcass ply is folded at least to the upper end position in the tire radial direction of the bead core, and the height of the folded end portion of the carcass ply in the tire radial direction is the upper end in the tire radial direction of the bead core. It is assumed that the bead filler that is 15 mm or less from the portion and arranged outside the bead core in the tire radial direction has a triangular cross section with a height of 15 mm or less.

It is as follows.
- the tire of the present invention can be a run-flat tire provided with a crescent-shaped side reinforcing rubber layer as viewed in the cross section in the tire width direction, along the inner surface of the carcass, over the whole or almost the entire sidewall portion.
- FIG. 1 is a one-side cross-sectional view in the width direction of an example of the pneumatic tire of the present invention.
- the illustrated tire 10 includes a tread portion 13, a pair of sidewall portions 12 that extend radially inward from the side portions of the tread portion 13, and a bead portion 11 that continues to the radially inner end of the sidewall portion 12.

And a folded portion wound outward in the tire radial direction.
- the carcass 2 in FIG. 1 is composed of a single carcass ply formed by coating a cord with a coating rubber, but the number of carcass plies may be plural.
- the belt 3 is composed of one or more belt layers disposed on the outer side in the tire radial direction of the crown portion of the carcass 2.
- the belt 3 in the figure is composed of two belt layers, but in the tire of the present invention, the number of belt layers is not limited to this.
- the carcass ply cord (hereinafter abbreviated as “reinforcing cord”) is a cellulose fiber cord, preferably a lyocell fiber cord having a higher elastic modulus than rayon fiber, and the temperature of this cord is It is important that the tensile elastic modulus at a stress load of 29.4 N per cord at 180 ° C. is 40 cN / dtex or more, preferably 100 cN / dtex or less. Cellulose fibers have a stable elastic modulus from a low temperature to a high temperature. Therefore, by using a cellulose fiber cord as a reinforcing cord for a carcass ply, a high cornering power can be exhibited as a single tire.
- the tensile elastic modulus of the cellulose fiber cord at a stress load of 29.4 N per cord at a temperature of 180 ° C. is more preferably not less than 50 cN / dtex and not more than 75 cN / dtex.
- the problem of the tensile elastic modulus at a stress load of 29.4 N per cord at a temperature of 180 ° C. is that the carcass at a temperature assumed in a situation such as high speed running, low internal pressure running, or run flat running. This is because the generated tension at the (side portion) is about 29.4 N.
- FIG. 2 is an example of a graph showing a stress-elongation curve of a reinforcing cord.
- the force applied to each cord during filling and loading of the tire is estimated to be 29.4 N
- the tangent line S at the time of 29.4 N stress loading of the stress-elongation curve C at a temperature of 180 ° C. is drawn.
- the slope of the tangent S is calculated as the cord elastic modulus.
- Reinforcing cords can be produced by dipping (DIP) the raw fiber cords.
- DIP dip tension
- the dip tension that is, by dip-treating the fiber cord with a predetermined tension applied thereto, a reinforcing cord having a predetermined rigidity with respect to the fiber stretching direction can be obtained.
- a lyocell fiber cord is applied with a dip tension, for example, increased to a dip tension of 0.13 cN / dtex or more, and then dip-treated to provide a cord of 46.1 cN / dtex (180 ° C., 29.4 N) or more.
- a reinforcing cord having an elastic modulus can be obtained.
- examples of the cellulose fiber include, in addition to rayon and lyocell, a cellulose derivative obtained by chemically esterifying or etherifying cellulose, which is a natural polymer, as a raw material.
- a lyocell fiber that is highly elastic as compared with the rayon fiber and can easily achieve both rigidity and fatigue resistance by twisting.
- the lyocell fiber has high dimensional stability, and therefore has no characteristic shrinkage during production (vulcanization), and the carcass ply has a characteristic that the carcass ply does not easily fall out of the bead.
- Such lyocell fiber is, for example, a cellulosic fiber obtained from a raw material cellulose by a solvent spinning method.
- a solution containing cellulose and a non-solvent such as water dissolved in a solvent is spun into air or a non-precipitating medium, and at that time, it is pulled at a speed higher than the speed at which the fiber-forming solution discharged from the spinneret is sent out. After stretching at a stretching ratio of 3 times or more, it can be obtained by treating with a non-solvent.
- the twist coefficient Nt is preferably 0.5 or more and 0.8 or less. If the twist coefficient is less than 0.5, the fatigue property of the cord may be deteriorated. Further, since the fiber has almost no heat shrinkage rate, the tire uniformity deteriorates, which is not preferable.
- the twisting coefficient is larger than 0.8, the cord strength of the reinforcing cord is reduced, which may lead to a reduction in cutting performance.
- the main cord elastic modulus range cannot be achieved, and it becomes difficult to ensure sufficient steering performance.
- the total fineness of the reinforcing cord is 3500 dtex or more and 5600 dtex or less. This is because if the fineness of the reinforcing cord is less than 3500 dtex, the cord strength of the reinforcing cord is reduced, which may lead to a reduction in cutting performance. On the other hand, when the fineness of the reinforcing cord exceeds 5600 dtex, the gauge becomes thick and unevenness occurs in the sidewall portion 12, which is not preferable.
- the melting cord preferably has a melting point of 300 ° C. or higher.
- the pneumatic tire of the present invention can be a run-flat tire.In this case, since a large amount of heat is generated during run-flat travel, the reinforcing cord has a melting point of less than 300 ° C. This is because the reinforcement cord is melted during the run-flat running, and as a result, the run-flat durability may be lowered.
- the folded end portion of the carcass ply is folded at least to the position of the upper end in the tire radial direction of the bead core 1, and the height h in the tire radial direction of the folded end portion of the carcass ply is the tire radius of the bead core 1. It is preferably 15 mm or less, particularly 10 mm or less from the upper end in the direction.
- the compression input acts on the rim flange portion.
- the tire is basically subject to repeated input to the folded portion due to input in the market, and the carcass cord at the folded portion is strongly reduced, and there is a concern that the carcass cord breaks down. Therefore, the carcass cord is required to be easily reduced in strength by compression input, that is, fatigue. However, it is inevitable that a compression input is applied with the contact point between the rim flange and the tire as a fulcrum during loading.
- the present invention by setting the length of the folded portion of the carcass ply to 15 mm or less, a structure in which no organic fiber is disposed in the portion to which the compression input is applied is applied, and the steering stability is considered without considering the fatigue of the cord This makes it possible to control the tire performance such as property.
- FIG. 3 shows a cross-sectional side view in the width direction of a run flat tire 20 according to another embodiment of the present invention.
- the run flat tire 20 shown in FIG. 3 includes a tread portion 13, a pair of sidewall portions 12 that extend radially inward from the side portions of the tread portion 13, and a bead portion 11 that is continuous with the radially inner end of the sidewall portion 12.

- a belt composed of two belt layers 3 is disposed in the belt.
- FIG. 4 shows a cross-sectional side view in the width direction showing another example of the pneumatic tire of the present invention.
- the illustrated pneumatic tire 30 includes a pair of bead portions 11 and sidewall portions 12, and a tread portion 13 connected to the sidewall portions 12, and a pair of bead cores 1 embedded in the pair of bead portions 11.
- the carcass 2 composed of at least one piece extending in a toroidal shape, in the illustrated example, two carcass plies 2a and 2b is used as a skeleton.
- a belt layer composed of two belts 3 a belt reinforcing layer 4 composed of a cap ply covering the entire width of the belt layer, and a tread 5 are sequentially arranged.
- FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view in one side in the width direction showing another example of the pneumatic tire of the present invention.
- the pneumatic tire 40 shown in the drawing has a point other than the side reinforcing rubber layer 6 having a crescent-shaped meridional shape over the entire area of the both sidewall portions 12 along the inner surface of the carcass 2.
- 4 is a run-flat tire having the same configuration as the pneumatic tire 30 shown in FIG.
- the arrangement of the belt reinforcing layer 4 is not essential.
- a layer ply that covers only both end portions of the belt layer may be further disposed.
- the belt reinforcing layer 4 may be composed of only layer plies, and the number of each ply is not particularly limited.
- Each of the cap ply and the layer ply is composed of a rubberized layer of a reinforcing cord disposed substantially in the tire circumferential direction.
- the belt layer is usually composed of a rubber layer of a cord that extends at an inclination with respect to the tire equatorial plane, preferably a rubberized layer of at least one steel cord, and in the illustrated example, two belt layers are
- the belt 3 is configured by laminating the cords constituting the belt layer so as to cross each other.
- the bead filler 7 disposed on the outer side in the tire radial direction of the bead core 1 has a triangular section with a height of 15 mm or less, particularly 10 mm or less.
- the carcass cord is repeatedly input to the folded portion by market input, thereby promoting the strength reduction of the folded portion of the carcass cord. Since there is a concern that the cord breaks down, it is required that the strength is not easily lowered by the compression input, that is, the fatigue property is good.
- the bead filler 7 since the bead filler 7 has a small shape, the turned-up portion of the carcass cord immediately follows the inner surface of the tire, so that the contact point between the rim flange and the tire is a fulcrum in the vicinity of the bead portion when loaded.
- the carcass cord exists outside the bending deformation, and only the tensile input, not the compression input, is applied to the cord.
- the tire performance can be controlled. As a result, even in a highly rigid carcass cord, it is possible to enjoy the merit of improving the maneuverability while securing the market durability.
- the height of the bead filler 7 in the present invention means the height of the bead filler 7 in the tire radial direction in a no-load state in which a tire is assembled to an applicable rim and filled with a specified air pressure.
- the applicable rim means a rim defined in the following standard
- the prescribed air pressure means an air pressure defined in accordance with the maximum load capacity in the following standard.
- the standard is an industrial standard effective in an area where tires are produced or used. For example, in the United States, the Tire and Rim Association Inc. In Europe, the European Tire and Rim Technical Organization Standards Manual in Japan, and in Japan, the Japan Automobile Tire Association JATMA Year book.
- the height of the bead filler 7 is set to 15 mm or less because the shape and numerical value of the rim flange are standardized. This is because the code can be avoided. Further, when the height of the bead filler 7 is 15 mm or less, there is a possibility that the compression input is applied to the end of the ply depending on the bending rigidity around the bead, the internal pressure condition, input, and the like. By setting the thickness to 10 mm or less, compression input can be reliably avoided regardless of the type of tire. There is no restriction
- both the conditions relating to the height of the folded end portion of the carcass ply and the conditions relating to the height of the bead filler are satisfied. That is, the folded end portion of the carcass ply is folded at least to the upper end position in the tire radial direction of the bead core, and the height in the tire radial direction of the folded end portion of the carcass ply is 15 mm or less from the upper end portion in the tire radial direction of the bead core. And it is preferable that a bead filler shall have a cross-sectional triangle shape 15 mm or less in height.
- the structure and material of other members constituting the tire are not particularly limited, and a known structure and material can be adopted.

Abstract
Description
前記セルロース繊維コードの、温度180℃でのコード1本あたり29.4Nの応力負荷時における引張弾性率が40cN/dtex以上であり、かつ、全てのカーカスコードが、前記一対のビード部にそれぞれ埋設されたビードコアの周りにタイヤ内側から外側に折り返されてなることを特徴とするものである。
Nt=tanθ=0.001×N×√(0.125×D/ρ)
(式中、Nはコードの撚り数(回/10cm)であり、ρはコードの比重(g/cm3)であり、Dはコードの総デシテックス数(dtex)の半分である)で示される撚り係数Ntが、0.5以上0.8以下であることが好ましい。さらに、前記セルロース繊維コードの総繊度は、好適には3500dtex以上5600dtex以下であり、前記カーカスプライの折り返し端部のタイヤ半径方向の高さは、好適には前記ビードコアのタイヤ半径方向上端部から10mm以下である。
図1は、本発明の空気入りタイヤの一例の幅方向片側断面図である。図示するタイヤ10は、トレッド部13と、トレッド部13の側部から半径方向内方へ延びる一対のサイドウォール部12と、サイドウォール部12の半径方向内端に連なるビード部11とからなる。
Nt=tanθ=0.001×N×√(0.125×D/ρ)
(式中、Nはコードの撚り数(回/10cm)であり、ρはコードの比重(g/cm3)であり、Dはコードの総デシテックス数(dtex)の半分である)で表される撚り係数Ntが、0.5以上0.8以下であることが好ましい。撚り係数が0.5未満では、コードの疲労性が悪化してしまうおそれがある。また、熱収縮率がほとんどない繊維であるためタイヤユニフォミティが悪化し、好ましくない。一方、撚り係数が0.8より大きいと、補強コードのコード強力の低下が生じるため、カット性の低下につながるおそれがある。また、低剛性化方向のため主要件のコード弾性率の範囲を達成し得ず、十分な操縦性能を確保することが困難となる。
(実施例1~4および比較例1~5)
図1に示すタイプのタイヤ(サイズ245/45R19)を作製した。カーカスプライの補強コードの材質、構造、撚り係数、並びに180℃の温度にて補強コード1本当たり29.4Nの力を加えた応力時のコード弾性率は下記の表1、2に示すとおりである。繊維コードのディップ液は、ホルムアルデヒド/レゾルシンのモル比が1.98、レゾルシン・ホルムアルデヒド/ラテックス固体質量%が16.0、(NaOH+NH4OH)/ラテックスモル比が0.80のものを使用した。カーカスプライの被覆ゴムは天然ゴム100質量部、HAFカーボンブラック50質量部及び硫黄3質量部とした。タイヤ中へのカーカスプライの打ち込み数は:70本/10cmとした。また、補強コードの180℃における弾性率は、前述したようにコードの応力-伸び曲線を用い、タイヤの内圧充填~荷重時にコード1本当たりにかかる力を29.4Nと見積り、29.4N応力時における応力-伸び曲線の接線を描き、算出した(図2参照)。

JATMAで定める標準リムサイズのリムを用い、JATMA規格の規定内圧を充填した供試タイヤを実車に装着し、ドライバーが操縦性のフィーリング試験を実施し、100を満点とし操縦安定性を採点した。得られた結果を下記の表1、2に示す。
カーカスコードとして、下記の表中に示す条件を満足する有機繊維コードを適用するとともに、断面三角形状のビードフィラーの高さを下記の表中に示すようにそれぞれ変えて、タイヤサイズ215/45R17にて、各実施例および比較例の空気入りラジアルタイヤを作製した。カーカスプライは1枚として、そのカーカスコードがビードコアの周りにタイヤ内側から外側に折り返されてなるものとした。また、ベルト層は2層とし、タイヤ赤道面に対し±30°の角度で傾斜して延びるスチールコードのゴム引き層からなるものとした。ディップ液配合、カーカスプライの被覆ゴム配合、カーカスプライの打ち込み数および引張弾性率の算出方法については、上記実施例1等と同様とした。得られた各供試タイヤにつき、下記に従い耐久性および操縦性を評価した。
各供試タイヤを、ドラム試験機上にて、規定内圧および規定荷重の条件にて80km/hで走行させ、故障が発生するまでの時間を測定した。結果は、比較例6の故障発生までの時間を100とする指数にして示した。数値が大きいほど耐久性が良好である。
各供試タイヤを実車に装着し、ドライバーにより操縦性のフィーリング試験を実施して、100点を満点として操縦性を採点した。点数が高いほど操縦性が良好である。
これらの結果を、下記の表中に併せて示す。
(式中、Nはコードの撚り数(回/10cm)であり、Dはコードの総デシテックスの半分(dtex)であり、ρはコードの比重(g/cm3)である)で定義される撚り係数Ntである。
