    METHOD FOR COEXTRUSION OF A COMPLEX RUBBER PROFILE FOR
    THE MANUFACTURE OF A TIRE
    [001] The invention lies in the field of tire manufacturing, and more specifically in the field of coextrusion of complex rubber profiles.
    [002] Complex rubbery profile means a profile composed of different profiles made in different elastomeric mixtures and assembled to each other.
    During the assembly of a tire blank, is deposited on the shaped carcass a tread profile in the form of a cut section in a complex and unvulcanized rubber profile.
    [004] More specifically, and as illustrated in Figure 1, this section of complex rubber profile 10 comprises a continuous sub-layer 12 transversely and on which is superimposed another layer 14 continuously transversely. This other layer 14 is said tread because intended to come into contact with the ground when rolling the tire on the ground. Since the underlayer 12 is not intended to come into contact with the ground, it is made of an elastomer mixture different from the elastomeric mixture of the tread 14 and does not have, for example, the same composition or the same characteristics and performance.
    According to a known manufacturing process, this complex rubbery profile is obtained by coextrusion. Thanks to this technique, the different profiles in different mixtures of the complex profile are extruded and assembled simultaneously on a single manufacturing machine.
    Coextrusion also makes it possible to manufacture complex profiles comprising an underlayer 12, a tread 14, and other superimposed protection sections on the transverse ends of the tread 14 and made in a third elastomeric compound. having a composition and characteristics different from the characteristics of the underlayer mixture and the tread mixture.
    However, and as the underlayer 12 and the tread 14, these protection profiles are continuous transversely.
    [008] Due to the low electrical conductivity of the elastomeric mixtures used for producing the underlayer 12 and the tread 14, coextrusion machines have been developed for coextruding the underlayer 12 and the strip. 14 with an insert passing through them and made of an electrically conductive elastomeric mixture.
    Such a coextrusion machine is for example described in European Patent EP1448355.
    [010] According to this document EP1448355, this machine comprises a main extruder comprising an extrusion head comprising at least two flow channels of a rubber mixture of underlayer and a rubber compound of the tread, said channels opening onto an extrusion orifice through which are pushed back the two rubber mixtures of underlayer and tread, and the extrusion orifice being delimited by a first and a second wall.
    [011] In order to produce an electrically conductive insert through the underlayer and the tread of the coextruded complex section, the extrusion head also comprises at least one micro-extruder of a third mixture electrically conductive rubber, and the extrusion head of this micro-extruder is provided at its end with a nozzle, said nozzle passing through the two flow channels so that the third electrically conductive rubber mix is inserted into the rubber mixes underlayer and tread upstream of the extrusion orifice.
    [012] According to a first drawback, the nozzle described in this document EP1448355 is not suitable for the extrusion of an insert made of an elastomeric mixture conferring on it a high rigidity, or at least a rigidity greater than the rigidities conferred on the sub-component. layer and to the tread by their respective blends. Indeed, such a mixture would require excessive extrusion pressure in comparison with the extrusion pressures used for the extrusion of the underlayment and tread mixtures, which could adversely affect the quality of the coextruded complex profile, in particular by leading to the extrusion of a much wider insert than necessary for the electrical conduction or variable section randomly in the length of the profile.
    [013] According to another disadvantage, and that the third mixture extruded by this nozzle provides or not significant rigidity to the insert, this nozzle does not allow to extrude the third material in a specific section in the transverse plane of the complex section . In addition, this nozzle also does not allow to make an insert that is not gripped on both sides by the tread and the underlayer.
    [014] However, it is precisely that, with the use of more and more important treads made in elastomeric mixtures giving these treads stiffer and weaker and therefore hysteretic behavior more and more. more importantly, there is today a need in the tire manufacturing industry to stiffen complex tread sections via inserts having a precise cross sectional section of the complex section, which are not enclosed by and other by the tread and the underlayer, and which are made of an elastomeric mixture giving them greater rigidity to the rigidities imparted to the underlayer and the tread by their respective mixtures.
    [015] Also, the present invention aims to overcome at least one of the disadvantages identified in the prior art and to meet the aforementioned industrial needs.
    [016] For this purpose, the subject of the invention is a method for coextruding a complex rubber profile intended for the manufacture of a tire, the complex section comprising in its height a first layer, called a sub-layer, of a first rubber material and a second layer, said tread, of a second rubber material superimposed on the underlayer.
    [017] According to the invention, this tread and this underlayer have at least one discontinuity in the width of the complex section which extends in a transverse direction so that at least one insert of a third rubbery material is inserted into a discontinuity of the tread and underlayer during coextrusion.
    [018] Still according to the invention, the method consists in extruding and profiling the different rubbery materials over a given coextrusion width and in a longitudinal coextrusion direction perpendicular to the transverse plane of the coextruded profile, the method comprising successively the steps consisting of a) an extrusion of the first material made discontinuously in the coextrusion width, b) a first profiling of this first material made discontinuously in the coextrusion width, c) an extrusion of the second material produced discontinuously in the coextrusion width and made so as to superpose the second material on the first material, d) a profiling of the first and second materials made discontinuously in the coextrusion width and carried out together with an extrusion of the third material in each discontinuity of the first material and of the two th material, and e) a final profiling of the first, second and third materials according to a final profile having no discontinuity in the coextrusion width, but creating a longitudinal groove in the profile located transversely next to each insert resulting from a extruding the third material according to step d).
    [019] Other features and advantages of the invention will become apparent in the description which follows. This description, given by way of example and not limitation, refers to the accompanying drawings in which: Figure 1 is a schematic cross-sectional view of a complex rubber profile according to the prior art, Figure 2 is a schematic cross-sectional view of a first variant of a complex rubber profile achievable with a first variant of a coextrusion head according to the invention, Figure 3 is a schematic cross-sectional view of a second variant of a complex rubbery profile that can be produced with a second variant of a coextrusion head according to the invention, FIG. 4 is a schematic side view of a coextrusion machine comprising a coextrusion head according to the invention, FIG. 5 is a view in perspective of a first variant of a coextrusion head according to the invention, FIG. 6 is a front detail view of a first variant of a FIG. 7 is a perspective view of a second variant of a coextrusion head according to the invention, FIG. 8 is a front detail view of a second variant of a coextrusion head according to the invention, FIG. a coextrusion head according to the invention, Figure 9 is a perspective view in section of a second variant of a coextrusion head according to the invention, Figure 10 is a first longitudinal sectional view of a second variant of a coextrusion head according to the invention, FIG. 11 is a second view in longitudinal section of a second variant of a coextrusion head according to the invention; FIG. 12 is a third view in longitudinal section of FIG. A second variant of a coextrusion head according to the invention, FIG. 13 is a fourth view in longitudinal section of a second variant of a coextrusion head according to the invention.
    [020] Figures 2 and 3 schematically illustrate two variants of complex rubber profiles for the manufacture of tires and can be manufactured by coextrusion with the present invention.
    [021] In both of these variants, the complex rubbery profile 20 comprises in its height H20 a first layer 22, said underlayer, a first rubber material and a second layer 24, said strip of a second rubber material superimposed on the underlayer 22.
    [022] Rubber material means an unvulcanized elastomeric mixture. In the context of the present invention, the underlayer 22 and the tread 24 are made of different materials, and therefore from elastomeric mixtures that do not have the same composition and / or characteristics.
    [023] Furthermore, and with a view to producing the circumferential grooves of the future tire, the complex rubbery profile 20 also comprises longitudinal grooves 26. In one or other of the two variants illustrated in FIGS. 2 and 3, the complex rubbery profile 20 comprises three longitudinal grooves 26. These three longitudinal grooves 26 extend parallel in the longitudinal direction DL taken in the length of the complex section 20. These three longitudinal grooves 26 are spaced from each other in the transverse direction DT taken in the width W20 of the complex section 20. These three longitudinal grooves 26 extend in depth in the height H20 of the complex section 20 without passing through it. These three longitudinal grooves 26 open into the upper surface S24 of the tread 24. These three longitudinal grooves 26 separate the section into four longitudinal rolls 30 in which will be molded the sculptures of the future tire. The two central rolls have a substantially parallelepipedic profile in the transverse plane PT of the complex section 20, while the end rolls have a substantially trapezoidal profile in the transverse plane PT of the complex section 20 and tapering towards the transverse ends. 32 of the complex section 20 in the transverse direction DT.
    [024] According to the invention, this tread 24 and this sublayer 22 have at least one discontinuity D20 in the width W20 of the complex section 20 so that at least one insert 28 of a third rubbery material is inserted into each discontinuity D20 of the tread 24 and the underlayer 22 during coextrusion.
    [025] The complex rubbery profile 20 comprising three longitudinal grooves 26 in one or the other of the two variants illustrated in Figures 2 and 3, the tread 24 and the sub-layer 22 have three discontinuities D20 in the width W20 of the complex section 20 and at least one insert 28 in each of these discontinuities D20.
    [026] The third rubbery material for producing the inserts 28 is different from the materials of the underlayer 22 and the tread 24. This third material of the inserts 28 is an elastomeric mixture having a composition and / or characteristics different from the mixtures forming the underlayer and the tread. Advantageously, this third material inserts 28 offers greater rigidity to the materials of the underlayer 22 and the tread 24. Thus, the inserts 28 stiffen the longitudinal rolls 30, which allows to use a material less rigid and offering better adhesion performance to the future tire to achieve the tread 24.
    [027] In more detail, each insert 28 extends over the entire height H20 of the complex section 20. Each insert 28 has a precise section in the transverse plane PT of the profile 20. Thus, the section of an insert 28 in the transverse plane PT comprises at least one triangular subsection.
    [028] In the first variant of the section 20, the section of an insert 28 in the transverse plane PT comprises a parallelepiped sub-section located under the triangular subsection, and the same insert 28 may comprise two remote triangular sub-sections. from each other in the transverse direction and connected by this parallelepipedic sub-section. In this first variant of the profile 20, the bottom of a longitudinal groove 26 is constituted by the parallelepipedal sub-section of an insert 28.
    [029] In the second variant of a profile 20, the section of an insert 28 in the transverse plane PT is triangular. Still in this second variant of a profile 20, two inserts 28 of triangular section may be located in the same discontinuity D20 while being spaced from each other in the transverse direction DT. In this second variant of a profile 20, and in the case where two inserts 28 of triangular section lie in the same discontinuity D20 while being distant from one another, the bottom of a longitudinal groove 26 is constituted by a strip 38 of substantially parallelepipedic section of the material of the tread 24.
    [030] In one or other of the variants of the profile 20, each insert 28 forms a sidewall 34 of a bread 30. Consequently, a first face F1 of an insert 28 extending in the height H20 of section 20 is contiguous to the materials of the underlayer 22 and the tread 24, a second face F2 of an insert 28 extending in the height H20 of the profile 20 forms the blank 34 of a bread 30, and a third face F3 of an insert 28 forms the lower surface 36 of the profile 20 with the underlayer 22 and optionally with the tread 24 at the transverse ends 32 of the profile 20.
    [031] In order to coextrude these two variants of a complex section 20, the invention proposes a coextrusion head 50. A first variant of this coextrusion head 50, illustrated in detail in FIGS. 5 and 6, is intended for coextrusion of the first variant of the complex section 20, while a second variant of this coextrusion head 50, illustrated by FIGS. 7 and 8, is intended for coextrusion of the second variant of the complex section 20.
    [032] In one or other of its variants, and as shown in Figure 4, the head 50 is intended to be mounted on a cylindrical roll coextrusion machine 52. For this purpose, the head 50 comprises a bottom wall 56 with a cylindrical profile extending radially in length in a longitudinal direction DL1 around a central axis AC1 and extending rectilinearly in width in a transverse direction DT1 parallel to the central axis AC1 and perpendicular to the direction longitudinal DL1. This bottom wall 56 is intended to be attached to the outer wall 58 of the cylindrical roller 54 in order to coextrude the complex section 20. During operation of the coextrusion machine, the cylindrical roller 54 is rotated R1 around the axis Central AC1.
    [033] According to the invention, and always in one or other of its variants, the head 50 comprises upstream downstream of the bottom wall 56 with a cylindrical profile and in the longitudinal direction DL1: a) a first extrusion channel 60 opening into the bottom wall 56 of the coextrusion head, this first extrusion channel 60 being separated into different sub-channels 60-1,60-2,60-3,60-4 in the transverse direction DT1, b) a first profiling blade 62 defining a first profiling profile P62 discontinuous in the transverse direction DT1 and being located radially beyond the lower wall 56 of the coextrusion head intermittently in the transverse direction DT 1, c ) a second extrusion channel 64 opening into the bottom wall 56 of the coextrusion head, this second extrusion channel 64 being separated into different sub-channels 64-1,64-2,64-3,64-4 in the transverse direction DT1, d) a second blade of pro spinning 66 defining a second profiling profile P66 discontinuous in the transverse direction DT1 and being located radially beyond the lower wall 56 of the coextrusion head intermittently in the transverse direction DT1, this second profiling blade P66 incorporating at least one third extrusion channel 68-1,68-2,68-3 opening into the bottom wall 56 of the coextrusion head, and at least one outlet 70-1,70-2,70-3 of this third channel located in the extension in the longitudinal direction DL1 of a separating element 72-1,72-2,72-3 separating the first extrusion channel 60 into subchannels 60-1,60-2,60-3,60- 4 in the transverse direction DT1, creating a discontinuity in the first profiling profile P62 of the first profiling blade 62 in the transverse direction DT1, and separating the second extrusion channel 64 in subchannels 64-1,64-2 , 64-3,64-4 in the transverse direction DT1, and e) a third blade of profiling 74 defining a final profiling profile P74 located radially beyond the bottom wall 56 of the coextrusion head, this final profiling profile P74 having no discontinuity in the transverse direction DT1, but comprising a tooth 74- 1.74-2.74-3 protruding in front of and beside each 70-1.70-2.70-3 output of a third channel 68-1.68-2.68-3 in the transverse direction DT1 , each tooth 74-1,74-2,74-3 extending radially inwardly but not reaching the bottom wall 56 of the coextrusion head.
    [034] If the first extrusion channel 60 extrudes the first material of the underlayer 22, the subchannels 60-1,60-2,60-3,60-4 allow to extrude this first material discontinuously in the coextrusion width L50 of the coextrusion head 50. Thus, the subchannels 60-1,60-2,60-3,60-4 make it possible to generate the discontinuities D20 in the underlayer 22 from the extrusion of this first material.
    [035] Next, the first discontinuous profiling blade 62 comprises projecting shapes 62-1,62-2,62-3 extending radially inwardly to the bottom wall 56 and making it possible to profile the first material of the subframe. -layer 22 while maintaining the discontinuities D20 created upstream in this sub-layer by the subchannels 60-1,60- 2.60-3,60-4.
    [036] If the second extrusion channel 64 extrudes the second material of the tread 24, the subchannels 64-1,64-2,64-3,64-4 allow to extrude this second material discontinuously in the coextrusion width L 50 of the coextrusion head 50. Thus, the subchannels 64-1,64-2,64-3,64-4 make it possible to generate the discontinuities D20 in the tread 24 from the extrusion of this second material.
    [037] Then, the second discontinuous profiling blade 66 comprises projecting shapes 66-1,66-2,66-3 extending radially inwardly to the bottom wall 56 and for profiling the first and second materials of the invention. the underlayer 22 and the tread 24 while maintaining the discontinuities D20 created upstream in this sub-layer 22 and in this tread 24 by the sub-channels 60-1,60-2,60-3,60 - 4 of the first channel 60 and the sub-channels 64-1.64-2.64-3.64-4 of the second channel 64.
    [038] Due to its positioning in the extension of a separating element 72-1,72-2,72-3, the output 70-1,70-2,70-3 of each third extrusion channel 68- 1.68-2.68-3 makes it possible to extrude the third material in the discontinuities D20 of the underlayer 22 and of the tread 24, and thus to make the inserts 28 of this third material in the underlayer 22 and in the tread 24.
    The third profiling blade 74 completes the profiling of the three materials and gives the profile 20 the desired final output profile. Each tooth 74-1,74-2,74-3 of this third blade 74 allows for a groove 26 in the complex section 20 contiguous to one or two inserts 28 in the transverse direction DT1.
    In the coextrusion head 50 according to the invention, each protruding form 62-1,62-2,62-3 of the first profiling blade 62 and each protruding form 66-1,66-2,66 -3 of the second discontinuous profiling blade 66 are respectively part of a separating element 72-1,72-2,72-3.
    [041] When the coextrusion head 50 is mounted on the coextrusion machine 52, the channels 60,64 and the sub-channels 60-1,60-2,60-3,60-4,64-1,64-2 , 64-3,64-4 open into the bottom wall 56 and thus against the outer wall 58 of the roll 54, and the profiling profiles P62 and P66 of the first and second profiling blades are closed by the outer wall 58 of the roll 54 .
    [042] In order to impart at least one triangular subsection to the section of an insert 28 in the transverse plane PT of the profile 20, and in one or other of the variants of the coextrusion head 50, the section output of each third channel 68-1,68-2,68-3 comprises at least one triangular subsection in a transverse plane PT50 perpendicular to the longitudinal direction DL1. More specifically, a vertex of this triangular sub-section extends radially outwardly of the bottom wall 56 of the coextrusion head.
    [043] In order to impart at least one parallelepipedal sub-section under its triangular subsection to the section of an insert 28 in the transverse plane PT of the profile 20, and in the first variant of the coextrusion head 50, the section output of a third channel 68-1,68-2,68-3 in a transverse plane PT50 comprises a parallelepipedal sub-section located radially under the triangular subsection and extending beyond this triangular subsection in the transverse direction DT1.
    [044] In order to confer two triangular sub-sections distant from each other in the transverse direction DT of the section 20 and connected by this parallelepipedal sub-section to the section of an insert 28 in the transverse plane PT of the profile 20, and in the first variant of the coextrusion head 50, the outlet section of a third channel 68-1,68-2,68-3 in a transverse plane PT50 comprises two triangular sub-sections connected by a sub-section. parallelepipedic section.
    [045] In order to confer two triangular sub-sections distant from each other in the transverse direction DT of the profile 20 to the section of an insert 28 in the transverse plane PT of the profile 20, and in the second variant of FIG. the coextrusion head 50, the output section of a third channel 68-1,68-2,68-3 in a transverse plane PT50 comprises two triangular sub-sections distant from each other in the transverse direction DT1 and not connected to each other.
    [046] Still in the second variant of the coextrusion head 50, and to extrude the tread band 38 of substantially parallelepiped section 24 between two inserts 28 of triangular section lying in the same discontinuity D20 while being remote from each other, the separating element 72-1, the extension of which is an output 70-1 of a third channel 68-1 with an output section comprising two triangular sub-sections distant one the other comprises an internal channel 76 connecting at least one subchannel 64-1,64-2, and preferably the two subchannels 64-1,64-2, the second extrusion channel 64 to the wall lower 56 of the coextrusion head, this internal channel 76 opening into the bottom wall 56 upstream of the outlet 70-1 of the third channel 68-1 in the longitudinal direction DL1 and between the two triangular sub-sections of this outlet 70 -1 in the transverse direction DT1.
    [047] As shown in Figure 9, this internal channel 76 is formed through the separator element 72-1 separating the second extrusion channel 64 into two subchannels 64-1,64-2 and in the extension which is an output 70-1 of a third channel 68-1 with an output section comprising two triangular sub-sections distant from each other. Preferably, and in order to ensure that the internal channel 76 is fed with tread material 24, this internal channel 76 comprises two inputs 78-1,78-2 respectively connected to the two sub-channels 64-1 and 64 -2.
    [048] Advantageously, and as shown in the longitudinal section in Figure 10, the coextrusion head 50 comprises a well 80 opening into the inner channel 76 and for receiving a screw 82 used to adjust the flow of the tread material 24 in this internal channel 76.
    [049] In one or the other of the variants shown, the coextrusion head 50 comprises three separating elements 72-1, 72-2, 72-3 in the transverse direction DT1, these three separating elements separating the first channel from each other. extrusion 60 into four sub-channels 60-160-2.60-3.60-4, creating three discontinuities in the first profiling profile P62 of the first profiling blade 62, and separating the second extrusion channel 64 into four sub-channels 64-1.64-2.64-3.64-4. The projecting shapes 62-1, 62-2, 62-3 of the first profiling blade 62 form an integral part of these separating elements 72-1, 72-2, 72-3.
    [050] Still in one or the other of the variants shown, the coextrusion head 50 comprises two consecutive separator elements 72-3, 72-2 in the transverse direction DT1, each followed in the longitudinal direction DL1 of an output 70 -3,70-2 of a third channel 68-3,68-2 comprising a single triangular sub-section, the third separating element 72-1 being followed in the longitudinal direction DL1 of an output 70-1 of a third channel 68-1 comprising two triangular sub-sections.
    [051] For the extrusion of different materials of the tread 24, the underlayer 22 and the inserts 28, and as shown in Figures 4, 9 and 11 to 13, the first channel 60 is connected at a first extruder E60, the second channel 64 is connected to a second extruder E64, and the third channels 68-1,68-2,68-3 of the second profiling blade 66 are connected to a third extruder E68.
    [052] In more detail, the third channels 68-1,68-2,68-3 of the second profiling blade 66 are connected to a third extruder E68 via ducts 84,86 opening on the upper face 88 of the head of coextrusion 50, as the well 80 of the internal channel 76.
    [053] As shown in Figure 11, the first extrusion channel 60 belongs to a first extrusion block B60, and this first extrusion channel 60 opens on the rear face 90 of the coextrusion head 50 where it is connected at the first extruder E60. The second extrusion channel 64 belongs to a second extrusion block B64, and this second extrusion channel 64 opens on the rear face 90 of the coextrusion head 50 where it is connected to the second extruder E64.
    [054] As shown in Figure 9, the third channels 68-1,68-2,68-3 of the second profiling blade 66 are formed in the body 92 of the second profiling blade 66, while the channels 84 , 86 connecting them to the third extruder E68 are made through the second extrusion block B64.
    [055] Also, the coextrusion head 50 is formed by the assembly of the first extrusion block B60, the first profiling blade 62, the second extrusion block B64, and the second and third profiling blades 66 and 74.
    [056] The coextrusion head 50 which has just been described makes it possible to implement a coextrusion process of a complex rubber profile 20 intended for the manufacture of a tire.
    [057] According to the invention, the method consists in extruding and profiling the different rubbery materials of this section 20 over a given L50 coextrusion width and in a longitudinal direction DL1 of coextrusion perpendicular to the transverse plane PT of the coextruded profile, the process comprising successively the steps consisting of: a) an extrusion of the first material made discontinuously in the coextrusion width L50, b) a first profiling of this first material produced discontinuously in the coextrusion width L50, c) an extrusion of the second material made discontinuously in the coextrusion width L50 and made to superpose the second material on the first material, d) a profiling of the first and second materials made discontinuously in the coextrusion width L50 and carried out jointly with a extrusion of the third material in each batch D20 of the first material and the second material, and e) a final profiling of the first, second and third materials according to a final profile P74 having no discontinuity in the L50 coextrusion width, but creating a longitudinal groove 26 in the profile 20 located transversely next to each insert 28 from an extrusion of the third material according to step d).
    [058] Advantageously, by extruding the third material of the inserts 28 at the end of the coextrusion process, the geometry of the extruded inserts 28 is preserved from the flows of the first and second materials extruded upstream.
    [059] In order to impart at least one triangular subsection to the section of an insert 28 in the transverse plane PT of the profile 20, in step d), the third material is extruded according to an exit section in a transverse plane PT50 comprising at least one triangular subsection.
    [060] In order to impart at least one parallelepipedal sub-section under its triangular subsection to the section of an insert 28 in the transverse plane PT of the profile 20, during step d), the third material is extruded according to an exit section in a transverse plane PT50 comprising a parallelepiped sub-section located under the triangular subsection and extending transversely beyond this triangular subsection in the transverse extrusion direction DT1.
    [061] In order to confer two triangular sub-sections distant from each other in the transverse direction DT of the profile 20 and connected by this parallelepipedal sub-section to the section of an insert 28 in the transverse plane PT of the profile 20, in step d), the third material is extruded at an exit section in a transverse plane PT50 comprising two triangular sub-sections connected by a parallelepipedal subsection.
    [062] In order to confer two triangular sub-sections distant from one another in the transverse direction DT of the profile 20 to the section of an insert 28 in the transverse plane PT of the profile 20, during the step d ), the third material is extruded at an exit section in a PT50 transverse plane comprising two triangular sub-sections distant from each other in the transverse extrusion direction DT 1.
