Description
【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は空気入りタイヤに関し、詳しくは走行初期から中期、末期までタイヤのウエット操縦安定性(以下、単に操縦性という)及び振動乗り心地性(以下、単に乗り心地性という)に優れた空気入りタイヤに関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
近年、自動車の高馬力化、高機能化、高寿命化に伴って、タイヤにも操縦性、乗り心地性を高度に両立し、走行中期、末期に至るまで、これらの性能を維持することが求められている。特に、乗用車タイヤにおいては、バイアスタイヤからラジアルタイヤへ変化し、ラジアルタイヤでも偏平率を82から70、さらに65へと変化させるに伴って、操縦性は大きく向上するが乗り心地性は必ずしも改善されず、この両性能を高度に両立させることが強く要請されている。
【0003】
この解決法の一つとして、タイヤトレッド用の各種ゴム配合剤が検討されているが加硫促進剤に着目すれば、特開昭58−87138号公報では、特定の加硫促進剤と特定の老化防止剤を配合したゴム組成物が耐熱硬化性を改良し、タイヤ走行末期の外観を改善することが開示されているがタイヤの運動性能、乗り心地性については全く検討されていない。また、特開昭56−139542号公報では、特定の加硫促進剤を用いたゴム組成物がゴム練りにおける燒け(スコーチ性)を改良することを開示しているが、タイヤの性能に関しては記載もなく、示唆もない。
【0004】
本発明者らはゴム成分に特定の樹脂系軟化剤又は鉱物油系軟化剤と特定のジチオリン酸化合物系加硫促進剤又はベンゾチアゾール化合物系加硫促進剤(いずれも機能的には再架橋抑制剤)とを含むゴム組成物をトレッド部に用いた空気入りタイヤが走行初期から中期、末期までタイヤのウエット操縦安定性及び振動乗り心地性に優れていることを提案している(特願平9−186888号公報、特願平9−186889号公報)。しかし、この提案における走行末期におけるトレッドゴムの硬化、ヒステリシスロスの低下をさらに十分抑制し、タイヤのウエット操縦安定性及び振動乗り心地性を一層向上することが望まれる。
【0005】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
本発明は、上記の事実に鑑みてなされたもので、本発明の目的は、走行初期から末期までタイヤの操縦性及び乗り心地性に一層優れた空気入りタイヤを提供することにある。
【0006】
【課題を解決するための手段】

本発明は上記のように特に、特定の低分子量重合体系軟化剤と低分子量重合体以外の軟化剤と特定の加硫促進剤とを併用することに大きな特徴がある。
【0025】
本発明における特定の低分子量重合体系軟化剤を用いない場合、つまり上記加硫促進剤のみが用いられている場合、タイヤは走行中期頃まではトレッドゴムの硬化、ヒステリシスロスの低下を抑制するが末期には次第に熱老化により硬化していく。本発明の特定の低分子量重合体系軟化剤が用いられた場合、すなわち本発明ではタイヤの走行末期において低分子量重合体系軟化剤が他部材(例えば、オイル量の少ないケース部材)へ移行しにくいことによるゴムの硬化、ヒステリシスロスの低下が抑制される。このため、本発明では特にタイヤの走行末期における操縦性及び乗り心地性の低下を抑制することができる。
【0026】
従来、軟化剤は通常の配合では芳香族系オイルが用いられることが多いが、この軟化剤は上記のような他部材へ移行し、移行することでトレッドゴムの硬化、ヒステリシスロスの低下が起こり、ひいてはタイヤの操縦性及び乗り心地性が悪化する。しかし、本発明における特定の低分子量重合体系軟化剤は他部材へ移行しにくいため、軟化剤量の減少よるゴムの硬化を大幅に抑制し、高度な低ヒステリシスロス性を維持できるという新知見を得、また走行末期において、上記加硫促進剤による熱老化現象に比べて、本発明における低分子量重合体系軟化剤の他部材への移行現象はゆっくり起こるため、低分子量重合体系軟化剤と特定の加硫促進剤の併用により、長期間にわたってゴムの硬化、ヒステリシスロスの低下を抑制できるという新知見を得るに至り、走行初期から末期まで優れた操縦性と乗り心地性を有する本発明の空気入りタイヤが得られたものである。
【0027】
【発明の実施の形態】
本発明に用いられる軟化剤は少なくとも2種が使用される。1つは重量平均分子量が2,000〜100,000、好ましくは5,000〜50,000の低分子量重合体であるジエン系単独重合体又はビニル芳香族炭化水素−ジエン系共重合体(以下、低分子量重合体系軟化剤と言うことがある)であり、他の1つは該低分子量重合体以外の軟化剤である。
【0028】
低分子量重合体の重量平均分子量が2,000未満では低分子量重合体が他部材(例えば、ケ−ス部材)へ移行してしまい、効果が激減する。100,000を越えるとゴム成分との差がなくなり、軟化剤としての役割を果たさない。
【0029】
低分子量重合体のジエン系単独重合体としてはブタジエン重合体、イソプレン重合体を挙げることができる。
【0030】
また、該低分子量重合体以外の軟化剤としてはゴム工業で通常用いられる植物油系軟化剤、鉱物油系軟化剤を挙げることができる。
【0031】
本発明における軟化剤の量はゴム成分100重量部に対して20重量部以上、好ましくは30〜70重量部含まれる。20重量部未満ではオイルが移行しにくいことによるトレッドゴムの硬化抑制の好影響が小さくなるため、低分子量重合体を用いる効果が小さい。
【0032】
また低分子量重合体系軟化剤の量は軟化剤重量部のうち、5重量部以上、好ましくは10重量部〜全軟化剤重量部含まれる。5重量部未満では効果が小さい。
【0033】
さらに低分子量重合体以外の軟化剤の量は軟化剤重量部のうち、55重量部以下、好ましくは0〜20重量部含まれる。55重量部を越えると他部材へ著しく移行し、ゴムが硬化する。
【0034】
本発明では、ゴム成分100重量部中に、スチレンブタジエンゴム(SBR)を好ましくは50重量部以上、より好ましくは70重量部以上、さらに好ましくは90重量部以上含有することが好ましい。配合量が50重量部未満では操縦性、乗り心地性が劣るので好ましくない。このSBRについては、ゴム成分100重量部中に、スチレン含有量が30重量%以上であるSBRを30重量部以上含有することが好ましい。
【0035】
本発明に用いられるSBRは上記のような条件を満たすものであれば制限されないが、市販の乳化重合SBR、溶液重合SBR等を用いることができる。
【0036】
本発明における、ゴム成分としては本発明のSBRのほか、他のSBR、天然ゴム、合成ゴム、例えばイソプレンゴム,ブタジエンゴム,ブチルゴム(ハロゲン化ブチルゴムを含む)、エチレン−プロピレンゴム等を挙げることができる。
【0037】
本発明においてジチオリン酸化合物系加硫促進剤(機能的には再架橋抑制剤、つまり走行中にゴムの再架橋によるゲル化を抑制する配合剤)を用いる場合、この加硫促進剤は前記一般式(I) で表されるジチオリン酸金属塩、O,O’−ジアルキルジチオリン酸ジスルフィド及びO,O’−ジアルキルジチオリン酸テトラスルフィドからなる群より選択される少なくとも1種である。
【0038】
前記一般式(I)で表されるジチオリン酸金属塩のR1 及びR2 はそれぞれ独立に、炭素数1〜8のアルキル基又は炭素数6〜10のアリール基であり、このアルキル基は直鎖状、分枝鎖状、環状のいずれでもよい。M1 はZn原子、Sb原子、Fe原子又はCu原子であり、nは結合する金属の原子価の数である。中でも、R1 及びR2 は、炭素数3〜4のアルキル基が好ましい。炭素数が2以下のアルキル基を有するジチオリン酸金属塩はゴムへの溶解性が低下する傾向があり、炭素数が5以上では効果のさらなる向上が得られず、経済的な観点からもこれ以上の炭素数の増大は必ずしも効果的ではない。また、金属としては、Zn原子又はSb原子が好ましい。つまり、前記式(II)に示すようなジチオリン酸金属塩が好ましい。
【0039】
すなわち、これらのジチオリン酸金属塩としては、例えばO,O’−ジプロピルジチオリン酸亜鉛、O,O’−ジイソプロピルジチオリン酸亜鉛、O,O’−ジ−n−ブチルジチオリン酸亜鉛、O,O’−ジ−sec−ブチルジチオリン酸亜鉛、O,O’−ジ−t−ブチルジチオリン酸亜鉛、O,O’−ジフェニルジチオリン酸亜鉛、O,O’−ジシクロヘキシルジチオリン酸亜鉛、O,O’−ジプロピルジチオリン酸アンチモン、O,O’−ジイソプロピルジチオリン酸アンチモン、O,O’−ジ−n−ブチルジチオリン酸アンチモン、O,O’−ジ−sec−ブチルジチオリン酸アンチモン、O,O’−ジ−t−ブチルジチオリン酸アンチモン、O,O’−ジフェニルジチオリン酸アンチモン、O,O’−ジシクロヘキシルジチオリン酸アンチモン等が挙げられ、中でも、O,O’−ジイソプロピルジチオリン酸亜鉛、O,O’−ジ−n−ブチルジチオリン酸亜鉛、O,O’−ジイソプロピルジチオリン酸アンチモン、O,O’−ジ−n−ブチルジチオリン酸アンチモンが好ましい。これらの加硫促進剤は単独で、又は2種以上の混合物で用いることができる。
【0040】
O,O’−ジアルキルジチオリン酸ジスルフィド又はO,O’−ジアルキルジチオリン酸テトラスルフィドのとしては、例えばO,O’−ジブチルジチオリン酸ジスルフィド、O,O’−ジイソプロピルジチオリン酸ジスルフィド、O,O’−ジプロピルジチオリン酸ジスルフィド、O,O’−ジエチルジチオリン酸ジスルフィド、O,O’−ジメチルジチオリン酸ジスルフィド、O,O’−ビス(2−エチルヘキシル)ジチオリン酸ジスルフィド、O,O’−ビス(4−メチルペンチル)ジチオリン酸ジスルフィド、O,O’−ジオクタデシルジチオリン酸ジスルフィド、O,O’−ジブチルジチオリン酸テトラスルフィド、O,O’−ジイソプロピルジチオリン酸テトラスルフィド、O,O’−ジプロピルジチオリン酸テトラスルフィド、O,O’−ジエチルジチオリン酸テトラスルフィド、O,O’−ジメチルジチオリン酸テトラスルフィド、O,O’−ビス(2−エチルヘキシル)ジチオリン酸テトラスルフィド、O,O’−ビス(4−メチルペンチル)ジチオリン酸テトラスルフィド、O,O’−ジオクタデシルジチオリン酸テトラスルフィド等が挙げられる。中でも効果の点から、O,O’−ジブチルジチオリン酸テトラスルフィド、O,O’−ジイソプロピルジチオリン酸テトラスルフィド、O,O’−ビス(2−エチルヘキシル)ジチオリン酸テトラスルフィドが好ましい。
【0041】
また、前記ジチオリン酸化合物系加硫促進剤はゴム成分100重量部に対して0.2〜5.0重量部含む。0.2重量部未満では走行後の操縦性及び乗り心地性向上効果が低く、5.0重量部を越えて配合しても、効果のさらなる向上は認められず、経済的な観点からもこれ以上の増量は効果的ではない。
【0042】
本発明においてベンゾチアゾール化合物系加硫促進剤(上記ジチオリン酸化合物系加硫促進剤と同様に、機能的には再架橋抑制剤)を用いる場合、この加硫促進剤は前記一般式(III)、(IV)、(V) 及び(VI)で表される各化合物からなる群より選択される少なくとも1種である。
【0043】
本発明に用いられる前記一般式(III)で表されるベンゾチアゾール化合物系加硫促進剤のR3 及びR4 は同時に水素原子である場合を除き、それぞれ独立に、水素原子、炭素数1〜8のアルキル基又は炭素数6〜10のアリール基であり、好ましくは、水素原子、炭素原子数1〜6のアルキル基又は炭素原子数6〜10のアリール基であり、それぞれ水素原子、メチル基、エチル基又はフェニル基であることがより好ましい。
【0044】

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a pneumatic tire, and more particularly, a pneumatic tire excellent in wet steering stability (hereinafter simply referred to as steering performance) and vibration riding comfort (hereinafter simply referred to as riding comfort) of a tire from the beginning to the middle and the end of traveling. Regarding tires.
[0002]
[Prior art]
In recent years, with higher horsepower, higher functionality, and longer life of automobiles, tires are highly compatible with maneuverability and ride comfort, and these performances can be maintained until the middle and end of driving. It has been demanded. In particular, in a passenger car tire, the bias tire changes to a radial tire, and even with the radial tire, the steering performance is greatly improved as the flatness ratio is changed from 82 to 70 and further to 65, but the riding comfort is not necessarily improved. However, there is a strong demand for both of these performances to be highly compatible.
[0003]
As one of the solutions, various rubber compounding agents for tire treads have been studied. However, when attention is focused on a vulcanization accelerator, JP-A-58-87138 discloses a specific vulcanization accelerator and a specific vulcanization accelerator. Although it has been disclosed that a rubber composition containing an anti-aging agent improves heat-resistant curability and improves the appearance at the end of tire running, no consideration has been given to tire performance and ride comfort. Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 56-139542 discloses that a rubber composition using a specific vulcanization accelerator improves the scorch (scorch property) in rubber kneading. There is no description and no suggestion.
[0004]
The present inventors have specified a specific resin-based softener or mineral oil-based softener and a specific dithiophosphoric acid compound-based vulcanization accelerator or benzothiazole compound-based vulcanization accelerator (both functionally inhibit re-crosslinking). It has been proposed that a pneumatic tire using a rubber composition containing a rubber agent in the tread part has excellent wet handling stability and vibration ride comfort of the tire from the beginning to the middle and the end of the run. No. 9-186888, Japanese Patent Application No. 9-186889). However, it is desired to further improve the wet maneuvering stability and vibration ride comfort of the tire by sufficiently suppressing the reduction of the tread rubber curing and the hysteresis loss at the end of traveling in this proposal.
[0005]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]

[0024]
As described above, the present invention is particularly applicable to specific low molecular weight polymer softeners and softeners other than low molecular weight polymers.WhenA major feature is the combined use of specific vulcanization accelerators.
[0025]
When the specific low molecular weight polymer softener in the present invention is not used, that is, when only the vulcanization accelerator is used, the tire suppresses the curing of the tread rubber and the decrease in the hysteresis loss until the middle of the run. At the end, it gradually hardens due to heat aging. When the specific low molecular weight polymer softener of the present invention is used, that is, in the present invention, it is difficult for the low molecular weight polymer softener to transfer to another member (for example, a case member having a small amount of oil) at the end of running of the tire. Curing of rubber and decrease in hysteresis loss due to are suppressed. For this reason, in this invention, especially the fall of the controllability and riding comfort in the driving | running | working end stage of a tire can be suppressed.
[0026]
Conventionally, an aromatic oil is often used as a softening agent in a normal formulation, but this softening agent is transferred to other members as described above, which causes hardening of the tread rubber and a decrease in hysteresis loss. As a result, the maneuverability and ride comfort of the tire deteriorate. However, since the specific low molecular weight polymer softener in the present invention does not easily migrate to other members, the new finding that it is possible to greatly suppress the curing of rubber due to the decrease in the amount of softener and maintain high low hysteresis loss. In addition, compared with the heat aging phenomenon due to the vulcanization accelerator, the transition phenomenon of the low molecular weight polymer softener to the other member in the present invention occurs slowly at the end of running, so that the low molecular weight polymer softener The combined use of vulcanization accelerators has led to the acquisition of new knowledge that rubber cure and hysteresis loss can be suppressed over a long period of time, and the pneumatic performance of the present invention has excellent maneuverability and ride comfort from the beginning to the end of travel. A tire is obtained.
[0027]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
At least two kinds of softeners used in the present invention are used. One is a diene homopolymer or vinyl aromatic hydrocarbon-diene copolymer (hereinafter referred to as a low molecular weight polymer) having a weight average molecular weight of 2,000 to 100,000, preferably 5,000 to 50,000. And the other one is a softener other than the low molecular weight polymer.
[0028]
When the weight average molecular weight of the low molecular weight polymer is less than 2,000, the low molecular weight polymer moves to another member (for example, a case member), and the effect is drastically reduced. If it exceeds 100,000, there will be no difference from the rubber component and it will not play a role as a softener.
[0029]
Examples of low molecular weight polymer diene homopolymers include butadiene polymers and isoprene polymers.
[0030]
Examples of softeners other than the low molecular weight polymer include vegetable oil-based softeners and mineral oil-based softeners commonly used in the rubber industry.
[0031]
The amount of the softening agent in the present invention is 20 parts by weight or more, preferably 30 to 70 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of the rubber component. If the amount is less than 20 parts by weight, the effect of using a low molecular weight polymer is small because the positive influence of the suppression of curing of the tread rubber due to the difficulty of oil transfer is reduced.
[0032]
Further, the amount of the low molecular weight polymer softening agent is 5 parts by weight or more, preferably 10 parts by weight to all parts by weight of the total softening agent. Less than 5 parts by weight has little effect.
[0033]
Furthermore, the amount of the softening agent other than the low molecular weight polymer is 55 parts by weight or less, preferably 0 to 20 parts by weight, based on the weight of the softening agent. When the amount exceeds 55 parts by weight, the material is remarkably shifted to other members and the rubber is cured.
[0034]
In the present invention, 100 parts by weight of the rubber component preferably contains 50 parts by weight or more of styrene butadiene rubber (SBR), more preferably 70 parts by weight or more, and still more preferably 90 parts by weight or more. If the blending amount is less than 50 parts by weight, the handling and riding comfort are inferior, which is not preferable. About this SBR, it is preferable to contain 30 parts by weight or more of SBR having a styrene content of 30% by weight or more in 100 parts by weight of the rubber component.
[0035]
SBR used in the present invention is not limited as long as it satisfies the above conditions, and commercially available emulsion polymerization SBR, solution polymerization SBR, and the like can be used.
[0036]
In addition to the SBR of the present invention, the rubber component in the present invention includes other SBR, natural rubber, synthetic rubber such as isoprene rubber, butadiene rubber, butyl rubber (including halogenated butyl rubber), and ethylene-propylene rubber. it can.
[0037]
In the present invention, a dithiophosphate compound vulcanization accelerator (functionally, a recrosslinking inhibitor, that is, a compounding agent that suppresses gelation due to recrosslinking of rubber during running) is used.CaseThe vulcanization accelerator is at least selected from the group consisting of dithiophosphate metal salts represented by the general formula (I), O, O′-dialkyldithiophosphate disulfide and O, O′-dialkyldithiophosphate tetrasulfide. One type.
[0038]
R of the metal dithiophosphate represented by the general formula (I)1And R2Are each independently an alkyl group having 1 to 8 carbon atoms or an aryl group having 6 to 10 carbon atoms, and this alkyl group may be linear, branched or cyclic. M1Is a Zn atom, Sb atom, Fe atom or Cu atom, and n is the number of valences of the metals to be bonded. Above all, R1And R2Is preferably an alkyl group having 3 to 4 carbon atoms. Dithiophosphoric acid metal salts having an alkyl group having 2 or less carbon atoms tend to be less soluble in rubber. If the number of carbon atoms is 5 or more, the effect cannot be further improved. Increasing the number of carbon atoms is not always effective. Moreover, as a metal, a Zn atom or Sb atom is preferable. That is, a dithiophosphate metal salt as shown in the formula (II) is preferable.
[0039]
That is, as these dithiophosphate metal salts, for example, zinc O, O′-dipropyldithiophosphate, zinc O, O′-diisopropyldithiophosphate, zinc O, O′-di-n-butyldithiophosphate, O, O '-Di-sec-butyldithiophosphate zinc, O, O'-di-t-butyldithiophosphate zinc, O, O'-diphenyldithiophosphate zinc, O, O'-dicyclohexyldithiophosphate zinc, O, O'- Antimony dipropyldithiophosphate, antimony O, O'-diisopropyldithiophosphate, antimony O, O'-di-n-butyldithiophosphate, antimony O, O'-di-sec-butyldithiophosphate, O, O'-di Antimony t-butyldithiophosphate, antimony O, O'-diphenyldithiophosphate, O, O'-dicyclohexyldithiophosphoric acid Among them, among others, zinc O, O′-diisopropyldithiophosphate, zinc O, O′-di-n-butyldithiophosphate, antimony O, O′-diisopropyldithiophosphate, O, O′-di-n -Antimony butyldithiophosphate is preferred.
