Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a waste tire structure made using a waste tire that is a used tire.

[Prior Art and Problems] With the spread of automobiles, the disposal of used tires, so-called waste tires, has become a problem. As the number of automobiles increases, the number of scrap tires increases, and although a number of rational disposal methods have been studied, none of them can be said to be sufficient.

In addition, trash stones are used as the foundations of floating structures or wave-breaking blocks built on the sea or rivers, but these stones are gradually washed away by waves and water currents over many years, and lose their function. The disadvantage is that it deteriorates, and therefore requires frequent repair work.

The inventor of the present invention noticed that if waste tires can be used to enclose, for example, gravel, etc., it can be used semi-permanently without being washed away by waves or water currents when used as a base for wave-breaking blocks or floating structures. This led to the completion of the present invention.

[Object of the present invention] An object of the present invention is to effectively utilize waste tires without waste and to provide a rational solution to waste tire disposal.

[Configuration of the present invention] The configuration of the present invention taken to achieve the above object is as follows. That is, the present invention is a waste tire structure in which waste tire pieces separated into a tread portion and a sidewall portion are arbitrarily connected to form a bag shape. The method and structure of joining the tread portion and the sidewall portion are not particularly limited, but an example is as follows.

First, a portion of the tread portion is cut, and the long plate-like pieces are connected in a grid pattern, and the sidewall portions are lined up and attached so as to close the gaps to form a sheet. Next, the sheet-like material can be rolled up into a cylindrical shape, connected to the sides, and closed with one opening to form a bag-like shape. If this bag-shaped bag is filled with gravel, it becomes a rubble bale, but its shape is not limited and can be set in various ways, such as a so-called bale-shaped one or a flat pine-shaped one.

The means of connecting the tread part and the sidewall part is
Although there is no particular limitation as long as the connection can be made reliably, connection is generally made using bolts and nuts, nails, or the like.

In addition, from the viewpoint of tensile strength, it is preferable that the used waste tires be steel belt radial tires with a steel belt embedded in the tread part.
It is not particularly limited.

[Example] The present invention will be described in more detail based on an example shown in the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a front view showing a waste tire structure according to the present invention in which grit is filled, and FIG. 2 is a perspective view of essential parts of the waste tire structure in an expanded state.

Reference numeral 1 denotes a waste tire structure, which is formed into a bag shape and consists of a frame 2 and a replenisher 3. The frame body 2 and the refill material 3 each consist of a tread part and a sidewall part obtained by separating waste tires.

Note that the waste tires used in this example are steel belt radial tires.

The frame body 2 is formed by a tread portion. The tread is the part of the tire that touches the ground, and is used by cutting a part of the annular part and rolling it out into a long plate. Since the steel belt is embedded in the tread portion, it has high tensile strength and can withstand use with grout stone, which will be described later.

Furthermore, the sidewall portion is used as the replenisher 3. The sidewalls are on both sides of the tire, and two donut-shaped pieces are used as they are.

An example of a method for manufacturing the waste tire structure 1 will be explained.

First, a required number of long plate-shaped tread portions 20 are connected to a predetermined length. The tread parts 20 are connected by inserting bolts 5 into bolt holes 21 provided at both ends of each tread part 20 and attaching them with nuts, but the connection can also be made with nails or the like. Treaded portions 20 of a predetermined length are combined in a grid pattern and connected by nails 6,
A frame body 2 is configured. Next, the refill material 3 is attached so as to fill the gaps in the lattice-shaped frame body 2. As shown in FIG. 2, the replenishing materials 3 are sequentially attached to the frame body 2 with nails 6, with portions of adjacent replenishing materials 3 overlapping each other. Note that the gap between the frame body 2 is set by the replenisher 3 to a size such that at least the grout filled inside the waste tire structure 1 does not easily squeeze out. When filling with earth and sand, the gap between the frame bodies 2 is further narrowed by the filler material 3.

The sheet-like material thus formed is rolled into a cylindrical shape, and the ends of the frame 2 in the circumferential direction are connected with bolts, nuts, nails, or the like. When rolling the sheet-like material, it is rolled around a metal cylindrical frame (not shown) of a predetermined size so that the size of the waste tire structure 1 is uniform. Then, one of the two openings formed by forming the sheet-like material into a cylindrical shape is closed with the lid frame 4. Like the frame body 2, the lid frame body 4 is made by connecting an appropriate number of tread portions 20, and is spanned across the opposing ends of the frame body 2, as shown in FIG. In this way, it is made into a bag.

Further, the other opening serves as an input port 29 into which grinding stones and the like are input. Note that the waste tire structure 1 is used after removing the above-mentioned frame.

(Function) The usage method and function of the waste tire structure 1 thus produced will be explained with reference to FIGS. 1, 3, and 4.

The waste tire structure 1 is erected with the input port 29 facing upward, and a predetermined amount of grindstone is charged from the input port 29.
Then, the input port 29 is closed by the lid frame 4 similarly to the other opening. As a result, the waste tire structure 1 becomes a bale-shaped rubble bale 10. The rubble bales 10 are
Due to its structure, it is easily deformed, and it conforms well to the shape of the part on which it is placed, such as the sea bed, making it easy to stabilize.

FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram showing a state in which the above-mentioned rubble bales 10 are used as a wave breaking body. In this case, it is also possible to use the rubble bales 10 as a base and place the wave breaking block thereon.

FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram showing a state in which the rubble bales 10 are used as rubble for the foundation of a floating structure.

FIG. 5 is a perspective view showing a state in which a waste tire structure is flattened by adding granite. Rubble bales 10'
It has a flat, pine-like shape, and is suitable for use on soft ground because it has excellent stability and can reduce surface pressure.

In any of the above usage examples, the waste tire structure made of rubber does not corrode, and the steel belt embedded inside the tire also does not corrode, so its strength is maintained.

Therefore, the stone filled inside will not be washed away by waves or water currents, so it can be used semi-permanently and does not require repair.

Note that the present invention is not limited to the illustrated embodiment, and various modifications can be made within the scope of the claims.

[Effects of the Invention] The waste tire structure according to the present invention is formed into a bag shape by arbitrarily connecting waste tire pieces separated into a tread part and a sidewall part, and the tread part, which is a constituent part of the tire, is formed into a bag shape. Since the part and the sidewall part are used, waste tires can be used effectively without waste, and a rational solution for disposal of waste tires can be achieved.

Furthermore, since this waste tire structure is made of rubber, it does not corrode, and when the inside is filled with granite or the like and used as a rubble bale, it can be used semi-permanently and does not require repair. Also, since the grite is sealed, it will not be washed away by waves.

Furthermore, when a waste tire structure is filled with granite or the like and used as a repair material for rubble bales or soft ground, it has flexibility and elasticity, so it fits well in the stationary part and does not collapse even when stacked.
