TIRE TREAD PATTERN PROVIDED WITH ANTI-STONE STRUCTURE

Abstract

The present invention discloses a tire tread pattern provided with an anti-stone structure. The tread pattern is composed of an annular groove that is continuous along the circumferential direction and a pattern block, the annular groove is defined by a discontinuous first chamfered edge, a first polygonal surface parallel to the tread is arranged at a portion in the annular groove that is concave relative to the first chamfered edge, a second chamfered edge and a third chamfered edge of the first polygonal surface separately extend along the groove bottom direction to form two second polygonal surfaces, the two second polygonal surfaces and the first polygonal surface share a vertex S; and a groove bottom vein of the annular groove is zigzag along the circumferential direction. The stone discharge function is mainly embodied in two aspects: on one hand, the first polygonal surface parallel to the tread directly plays the role of stone discharge, on the other hand, as the angles of inclined planes on two sides of the annular groove are varied, stones are unlikely to form very stable fixing points therein, and thus are discharged easily in a tire travelling process, and accordingly good stone discharge performance of the tire is guaranteed.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0019] As shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 3, a tire tread pattern provided with an anti-stone structure includes a tread pattern 1, the tread pattern 1 is composed of an annular groove 2 that is continuous along the circumferential direction and a pattern block 3, the annular groove 2 is defined by a discontinuous first chamfered edge 6, a first polygonal surface 8 parallel to the tread is arranged at a portion in the annular groove 2 that is concave relative to the first chamfered edge 6, a second chamfered edge 4 and a third chamfered edge 10 of the first polygonal surface 8 separately extend along the groove bottom direction to form two second polygonal surfaces 9, the two second polygonal surfaces 9 and the first polygonal surface 8 share a vertex S; and a groove bottom vein 5 of the annular groove 2 is zigzag along the circumferential direction.

[0020] The first chamfered edge 6 is an edge where the intersection of the tread and the first polygonal surface 8 is flush with the tread.

[0021] A vertical distance between the vertex S and the bottom of the annular groove 2 is T, and the vertical distance between the tread and the bottom of the annular groove 2 is TD, and TD4T. The design of the vertex S can realize the stone discharge function of the tire, meanwhile the protrusions can partially block the airflow in a tire travelling process so as to realize noise reduction.

[0022] The two adjacent second polygonal surfaces 9 share a side edge, wherein the concave side edge is a corner line 7, and an included angle between the corner line 7 and a vertical direction is 1, and the included angle between the second polygonal surface 9 and the vertical direction is 2, and the value ranges of 1 and 2 are 5-45.

[0023] A horizontal distance between two adjacent corner lines 7 is H, and the horizontal distance between two opposite first chamfered edges 6 is D, and H3D.

[0024] The horizontal distance H between all adjacent corner lines 7 is unequal.

[0025] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides the tire tread pattern provided with the anti-stone structure, the stone discharge function is mainly embodied in the following two aspects. On one hand, the first polygonal surface parallel to the tread directly plays the role of stone discharge, On the other hand, as the angles of inclined planes on two sides of the annular groove are varied, the stones are unlikely to form very stable fixing points therein, and thus are discharged easily in the tire travelling process, and accordingly good stone discharge performance of the tire is guaranteed. The tire is guaranteed to have very good wear resistance while good noise reduction performance can also be obtained. In addition, the design of the vertex S can realize the stone discharge function of the tire, meanwhile the protrusions can partially block the airflow in the tire travelling process so as to realize noise reduction. In addition, as the first polygonal surface is parallel to the tread, early abnormal wear of the tire can be pre-warned. Also, as the adjacent corner lines adopt to a variable width design, thereby realizing a different variable pitch design, the noise of the tire can be reduced.

[0026] The foregoing description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, it should be noted that it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various changes and improvements may be made without departing from the overall concept of the present invention, and these changes and improvements should also be deemed as the protection scope of the present invention.
