Description
特許文献1のタイヤによれば、センター陸部のブロック剛性を向上させることができるので、オンロード走行時の操縦安定性を向上することができる、とされている。また、水を効果的に排出して、ハイドロプレーニング現象の発生を防止できる、とされている。
本発明は、ドライ路面での耐摩耗性能と、ウェット操縦安定性および雪上操縦安定性とのバランスに優れた空気入りタイヤを提供する。
前記トレッドパターンは、
タイヤ周方向に並行する4本の周方向主溝であって、タイヤ幅方向の外側に配置された2本の外側周方向主溝と、前記外側周方向主溝に挟まれた2本の内側周方向主溝とを含み、前記内側周方向主溝の間をタイヤセンターラインが通る、周方向主溝群と、
前記2本の内側周方向主溝により画され、前記タイヤセンターラインが通過するセンター陸部の領域、及び、前記外側周方向主溝と前記内側周方向主溝とにより画された2つの中間陸部の領域を横切って、前記センター陸部の領域及び前記中間陸部の領域に複数の陸部ブロックを形成させる複数のラグ溝と、を有する。
前記2本の内側周方向主溝のそれぞれは、第1の溝壁と、前記第1の溝壁と対向する第2の溝壁と、を有する。
前記第1の溝壁は、タイヤ周方向のうち第1の方向からタイヤ幅方向の外側に傾斜して延在する第1の傾斜壁要素と、前記第1の方向からタイヤ幅方向の内側に傾斜して延在し、前記第1の傾斜壁要素の延在方向の長さに比べて延在方向の長さが短い第2の傾斜壁要素と、を含み、前記第1の溝壁は、前記第1の傾斜壁要素と前記第2の傾斜壁要素を組みとして、複数の組により構成されている。
前記第2の溝壁は、前記第1の方向からタイヤ幅方向の内側に傾斜して延在する第3の傾斜壁要素と、前記第1の方向からタイヤ幅方向の外側に傾斜して延在し、前記第3の傾斜壁要素の延在方向の長さに比べて延在方向の長さが短い第4の傾斜壁要素と、を含み、前記第2の溝壁は、前記第3の傾斜壁要素と前記第4の傾斜壁要素とを組みとして、複数の組により構成されている。
前記2本のセンターサイプは、前記中心を通り前記センターラグ溝に並行する線に対して前記波形状の凹同士が互いに向き合い、凸同士が互いに向き合っている、ことが好ましい。
さらに、前記周方向主溝群のタイヤ幅方向外側の領域に、ショルダー陸部を有し、
前記ショルダー陸部には、ショルダーサイプが設けられ、
前記中間サイプは、直線状にあるいは湾曲状に延びるサイプであり、
前記ショルダーサイプは、前記ショルダーサイプの延在方向に対して直交する方向に変位しながら波形状に延び、かつ、前記ショルダーサイプを形成する壁面はサイプ底に向かって波形状に変位しながら延びる表面凹凸面となっている部分を有する、ことが好ましい。
前記ショルダー陸部それぞれの領域には、タイヤ幅方向外側から、前記外側周方向主溝の1つに向かって延在するショルダーラグ溝が設けられ、前記ショルダーラグ溝は、前記外側周方向主溝のいずれにも接続することなく途中で閉塞することにより、前記ショルダー陸部は、タイヤ周方向に連続して延在する連続陸部を形成し、
前記ショルダーラグ溝の溝幅は、前記ラグ溝の最大溝幅と比べて広い、ことが好ましい。
前記ショルダー陸部の領域には、前記外側周方向主溝の1つと前記ショルダーラグ溝の第2の領域とを接続するよう前記連続陸部を横切って延びるショルダーサイプが形成され、
前記ショルダーサイプの溝深さは、前記ショルダーラグ溝の前記第2の領域の溝深さより深い、ことが好ましい。
前記周方向細溝の溝深さは、前記ショルダーラグ溝の最大溝深さよりも浅く、
前記周方向細溝は、タイヤ接地幅のうち前記ショルダー陸部が接地する領域のタイヤ幅方向の中心に対し、タイヤ幅方向の内側で前記ショルダーラグ溝と交差する、ことが好ましい。
図1に、本発明の一実施形態である空気入りタイヤ1の外観を示す。
空気入りタイヤ(以下、タイヤという)1は、乗用車用タイヤである。
本発明のタイヤ1の構造及びゴム部材は、公知のものが用いられてもよいし、新規なものが用いられてもよく、本発明において、特に限定されない。
トレッド部2、ビード4、ベルト層6、インナライナ層等は、公知のものが用いられてもよいし、新規なものが用いられてもよく、本発明において、特に限定されない。
本発明のタイヤ1は、図3に示すトレッドパターン10とタイヤ周方向に寸法の等しいいピッチをタイヤ周方向に並べたものであってもよく、ピッチバリエーションを施すために、トレッドパターン10とは、タイヤ周方向に寸法の異なる複数種のピッチをタイヤ周方向に並べたものであってもよい。
周方向主溝群は、2本の外側周方向主溝11,13と、2本の内側周方向主溝15,17とを含む。外側周方向主溝11,13は、内側周方向主溝15,17に対して、タイヤ幅方向の外側に配置されている。2本の内側周方向主溝15,17は、外側周方向主溝11,13に挟まれて配置されている。内側周方向主溝15,17のタイヤ幅方向間には、タイヤセンターラインCLが通っている。
2本の内側周方向主溝15,17のそれぞれは、主溝壁16,18として、第1の溝壁W1と、第1の溝壁W1と対向する第2の溝壁W2と、を有する。ここで、第1の溝壁W1は、タイヤ周方向のうち第1の方向からタイヤ幅方向の外側に傾斜して延在する第1の傾斜壁要素W1aと、第1の方向からタイヤ幅方向の内側に傾斜して延在し、第1の傾斜壁要素W1aの延在方向の長さに比べて延在方向の長さが短い第2の傾斜壁要素W1bと、を含む。第1の溝壁W1は、第1の傾斜壁要素W1aと第2の傾斜壁要素W1bを組みとして、複数の組により構成されている。第2の溝壁W2は、第1の方向からタイヤ幅方向の内側に傾斜して延在する第3の傾斜壁要素W2aと、第1の方向からタイヤ幅方向の外側に傾斜して延在し、第3の傾斜壁要素W2aの延在方向の長さに比べて延在方向の長さが短い第4の傾斜壁要素W2bと、を含む。第2の溝壁W2は、第3の傾斜壁要素W2aと第4の傾斜壁要素W2bとを組みとして、複数の組により構成されている。
一方、内側周方向主溝17の主溝壁18のうち、タイヤ幅方向の内側に位置する溝壁(図3(b)の内側周方向主溝17の左側の溝壁)は、第3の傾斜壁要素W2aと第4の傾斜壁要素W2bとを含む第2の溝壁W2である。一方、タイヤ幅方向の外側に位置する溝壁(図3(b)の内側周方向主溝17の右側の溝壁)は、第1の傾斜壁要素W1aと第2の傾斜壁要素W1bとを含む第1の溝壁W1である。
このように対向する2つの溝壁を第1の溝壁W1と第2の溝壁W2の組み合わせとすることで、内側周方向主溝15,17の第1の傾斜壁要素W1aと第3の傾斜壁要素W2aにより溝幅が狭くなる。この溝幅が狭くなることを利用して、雪上路面を走行中、内側周方向主溝15,17内に入った雪を押し固め、硬い雪の塊とすることができる。これにより、雪柱剪断力を高めて雪上操縦安定性を向上させることができる。この結果、耐摩耗性と、ウェット操縦安定性および雪上操縦安定性とを両立できる。
また、内側周方向主溝15,17の第1の傾斜溝要素W1aと第3の傾斜溝要素W2aは、タイヤ周方向における配置位置がずれていることが、好ましい。
センターラグ溝31は、2本の内側周方向主溝16,18により画され、センター陸部21の領域を横切って、センター陸部21の領域に複数のセンター陸部ブロック22を形成させる。
このような中央領域31Aがセンターラグ溝31の一部の延在方向領域に設けられていることにより、センター陸部21の剛性が確保され、ドライ路面での耐摩耗性能の低下が抑えられるとともに、排水性や雪柱剪断力を高めるための溝体積がセンターラグ溝31内で確保され、ウェット操縦安定性および雪上操縦安定性が向上する。つまり、耐摩耗性と、ウェット操縦安定性および雪上操縦安定性とを両立できる。特に、中央領域31Aは、センターラグ溝31の延在方向領域の所定の長さにわたり形成されているため、ラグ溝内に局部的に他の延在方向領域より溝深さの浅い(底上げされた)突起部が形成された従来のタイヤと比べ、ブロック剛性を相当程度に向上することができる。また、中央領域31Aは、センターラグ溝31の延在方向領域のうちタイヤセンターラインCLを横切る領域に形成され、中央領域31Aを挟む両側の領域に外側領域31Bが形成されているため、耐摩耗性能と、ウェット操縦安定性および雪上操縦安定性とのバランスがより高い次元で両立される。
センターラグ溝31は、それぞれ、直線的に延びていてもよく、緩やかに湾曲して延びていてもよい。
中間ラグ溝33は、外側周方向主溝11と内側周方向主溝15とにより画された中間陸部23の領域を横切って、中間陸部23の領域に複数の中間陸部ブロック24を形成させる。中間ラグ溝35は、外側周方向主溝13と内側周方向主溝17とにより画された中間陸部25の領域を横切って、中間陸部25の領域に複数の中間陸部ブロック26を形成させる。
トレッドパターン10は、さらに、センター陸部ブロック22及び中間陸部ブロック24,26のそれぞれに、センターラグ溝31及び中間ラグ溝33,35と並行するように延在するサイプ、具体的には、センターサイプ30,32及び中間サイプ34,36を有することが好ましい。なお、本明細書において、サイプは幅1.5mm未満であり、溝深さが7mm未満のものをいう。また、ラグ溝とは、溝幅が1.5mm以上であり、溝深さが7mm以上のものをいう。中間サイプ34,36は直線状にあるいは湾曲状に延びていることが好ましい。
1つの陸部ブロック22には、2本のセンターサイプ30およびセンターサイプ32が形成されている。センターサイプ30,32は、センター陸部ブロック22を形成するセンターラグ溝31と並行するように延在して、内側周方向溝15,17を繋ぐ。センター陸部ブロック22には、2本のセンターサイプ30,32が設けられているが、3つ以上設けられていてもよい。センターサイプ30,32のいずれも、図5に示すようにセンターサイプ30,32の延在方向に対して直交する方向に変位しながら波形状に延び、かつ、図9に示すように、センターサイプ30,32を形成する壁面はサイプ底に向かって波形状に変位しながら延びる表面凹凸面となっている部分を有する、ことが好ましい。図9は、センターサイプ30,32のセンター陸部ブロック22内部の形状の一例を説明する図である。具体的には、トレッド表面では波形状に延び、センター陸部ブロック22内部では、サイプ深さ方向の少なくとも2箇所でサイプの壁面が突出してあるいは凹んで、頂部あるいは谷底部を形成する。この頂部あるいは谷底部がサイプの延在方向に連なるとともに、この連なりが波状にタイヤ径方向(サイプ深さ方向)に変動している、いわゆる3次元サイプである。センターサイプ30,32が内側周方向主溝15,17と接続する両側の接続部分では、直線状に延びるサイプであって、両側の接続部分の間の部分が、いわゆる3次元サイプとなっている。
トレッドパターン10は、図3に示すように、さらに、周方向主溝群のタイヤ幅方向外側の領域に、ショルダー陸部51,53を有する。ショルダー陸部51,53の領域には、タイヤ幅方向外側から、ショルダー陸部51,53に隣接する外側周方向主溝11,13の1つに向かって、すなわちタイヤ幅方向の内側に向かって延在するショルダーラグ溝61,63が設けられている。ショルダーラグ溝61,63は、外側周方向主溝11,13に接続することなく途中で閉塞する。これにより、ショルダー陸部51,53は、タイヤ周方向に連続して延在する連続陸部52,54を形成する。なお、本明細書において、トレッド表面においてサイプのみで陸部が複数の部分に分割されていても、連続陸部という。そして、ショルダーラグ溝61,63の溝幅61w,63wは、センターラグ溝31の外側領域31Bの溝幅31w、および、中間ラグ溝33,35の外側領域33B、35Bの溝幅33w,35wの最も溝幅の広いものと比べて広いことが好ましい。
このようなショルダーラグ溝61,63によって、ショルダー陸部51,53のブロック剛性を確保しつつ溝体積を確保することで、耐摩耗性とウェット操縦安定性および雪上操縦安定性とを両立することができる。ショルダー陸部51,53のブロック剛性を確保する観点からは、ショルダーラグ溝61,63は、タイヤ幅方向外側の端部から、ショルダー陸部51,53の接地領域のタイヤ幅方向長さの60%以上の長さ延びていることが好ましく、70~80%の長さ延びていることがより好ましい。また、ショルダーラグ溝61,63の溝幅61w,63wは、例えば、センターラグ溝31,33の外側領域31B,33Bの溝幅31w,33wの100~180%である。
ショルダーサイプ62,64のタイヤ幅方向外側の端部は、図10~12に示すように、ショルダーラグ溝の内側領域61B,63Bの溝底に入り込むよう形成されていることが好ましい。これにより、連続陸部52,54のタイヤ幅方向のブロック剛性が十分に緩和され、操縦安定性を確保できる。
ショルダーラグ溝61,63は、タイヤ周方向に対し傾斜して延びているのが好ましい。例えば、タイヤ周方向に対し75~90度傾斜している。上述のセンターラグ溝31,33,35およびショルダーラグ溝61,63がぞれぞれの傾斜角度を有することで、トレッド表面において種々の傾斜角度が表れているため、車両走行中の小舵角から中舵角での旋回時にも優れた操縦安定性が得られる。
センターラグ溝31の中央領域31A、および、中間ラグ溝33,35の内側領域33A,35Aは、互いに等しく又は異なり、溝幅が1.5~7mmであり、溝深さが2~6mmである。また、センターラグ溝31の外側領域31B、および、中間ラグ溝33,35の外側領域33B,35Bは、互いに等しく又は異なり、溝幅が2~8mmであり、溝深さが4~12mmである。

タイヤ接地幅は、130~230mmである。ショルダー陸部51,53が接地する領域のタイヤ幅方向長さは、互いに等しく又は異なり、25~45mmである。
センターサイプ30,32の少なくとも一部は、いわゆる3次元サイプであるので、センター陸部ブロック22に横力や制駆動力が与えられたときセンター陸部ブロック22の倒れこみを抑制することができる。また、ショルダーサイプ62,64の少なくとも一部はいわゆる3次元サイプであるので、横力や制動が与えられたとき、隣接するショルダーラグ溝61,63間の陸部の領域の倒れこみを抑制することができる。
第1のラグ溝領域と第2のラグ溝領域とを含むラグ溝は、センター陸部21、および、中間陸部23,中間陸部25の少なくとも一方にあればよい。
センターラグ溝31の第1のラグ溝領域は、タイヤセンターラインCLを横切り、一方のタイヤ幅方向の端部がいずれかの主溝に接続されてもよい。また、センターラグ溝31の第1のラグ溝領域は、タイヤセンターラインCLを横切らなくてもよい。例えば、タイヤセンターラインCLに対してタイヤ幅方向の片側に設けられ、第2のラグ溝領域がタイヤセンターラインCLを横切るように構成してもよい。また、第1のラグ溝領域が、タイヤセンターラインCLの両側に設けられ、2つの第1のラグ溝領域の間に第2のラグ溝領域が設けられてもよい。
中間ラグ溝33,35において、第1のラグ溝領域が、外側周方向主溝と接続される外側領域に形成され、第2のラグ溝領域が、第1のラグ溝領域に対してタイヤ幅方向の内側、すなわち、第1のラグ溝領域および内側周方向主溝と接続される内側領域に形成されていてもよい。円弧状溝は、2つの中間陸部のいずれかにのみ設けられてもよく、両方に設けられていなくてもよい。
周方向主溝の数は、4本に限定されず、5本以上あってもよい。
センターサイプ30,32は、1つの陸部ブロックに1又は3個以上であってもよい。1つのセンター陸部ブロック22にセンターサイプが偶数個ある場合は、それらを同数ずつ二分してセンター陸部ブロック22の中心に対し対向して設けるのが好ましい。また、センターサイプは偶数本ある場合に、トレッド表面上の中心に対して互いに対向するよう形成されていなくてもよい。センターサイプは、それぞれの延在方向に対して直交する方向に変位しながら波形状に延びていなくてもよい。センターサイプは、内側周方向主溝と接続することなくセンター陸部21内で閉塞していてもよい。中間サイプ34,36は、円弧状溝又は外側周方向主溝と接続していてもよい。トレッドパターンは、サイプを有していなくてもよい。
ショルダーラグ溝61,63の内側領域の溝底部は、外側領域の溝底部に対し段差を伴って底上げされていなくてもよい。ショルダーサイプ62,64のタイヤ幅方向外側の端部は、ショルダーラグ溝の内側領域の溝底に入り込むよう形成されていなくてもよい。ショルダーラグ溝61,63は、外側周方向主溝11,13に接続され、タイヤ周方向に複数の陸部ブロックが形成されていてもよい。

屋外のタイヤ試験場の水深1mmであるウェット路面において、半径30mの旋回路を限界速度で5周走行し、その時の平均横加速度を測定した。評価は、測定値の逆数で行い、従来例のタイヤの測定値の逆数を100とする指数で示した。指数値が大きいほどウェット操縦安定性が優れていることを意味する。
水深1mmのウェット路面に代えて雪上路面を走行した点を除いて、上述のウェット操縦安定性と同様に測定を行った。評価は、測定値の逆数で行い、従来例のタイヤの測定値の逆数を100とする指数で示した。指数値が大きいほど雪上操縦安定性が優れていることを意味する。
ドライ路面にて公道を20000km走行した後、摩耗量を測定した。評価は、測定値の逆数で行い、従来例のタイヤの測定値の逆数を100とする指数で示した。指数値が大きいほど耐摩耗性能が優れていることを意味する。
なお、耐摩耗性の評価指数が100以上であり、かつ、雪上操縦安定性、ウェット操縦安定性、耐摩耗性の評価指数の合計値が304以上である場合、耐摩耗性と、雪上操縦安
