When the temperature traverse of inside tires, variation of temperature can cause the variation of SAW resonator 4 center resonant frequency, thereby causes measured error.The utility model can also utilize the SAW resonator 4 that does not connect external tire impedance to carry out Compensation of Measuring Error, because variation of temperature can influence the center resonant frequency of the SAW resonator 4 that connects external tire impedance equally.In addition, the structure and the center resonant frequency of these two SAW resonators 4 are identical, and environment of living in is also identical, and therefore, the frequency change that temperature traverse causes on these two SAW resonators 4 should be the same.So, utilize the frequency change of these two SAW resonators 4 just can eliminate the measured error that temperature traverse causes, thereby obtain correct tire pressure status information.
In addition, when utilizing SAW resonator group 5 to carry out tire pressure measurement, because the safe pressure scope difference of tire under different temperatures, tire is also different with safe pressure scope under the degree of aging in difference wearing and tearing, therefore, external module 1 also needs to obtain temperature information and the Tyte Wear and the ageing state information of inside tires in order to carry out the correct judgement of tire pressure safe condition.At this moment, for the influence to SAW resonator 4 center resonant frequency of the pressure, temperature, wearing and tearing and the ageing state information that obtain tire simultaneously and compensates, present embodiment is embedded in the individual SAW resonator group 5 with different center resonant frequency of n (n 〉=3) at same tire and realizes.As shown in Figure 4, in order to obtain more tire information simultaneously, this enforcement can be embedded in a plurality of SAW resonator groups 5 at same tire, the end that these SAW resonator groups 5 link to each other all links to each other with public steel wire G by same matched impedance, and at public steel wire G and the indirect same near-end antenna of matched impedance.Two residue ends of each SAW resonator group 5, an end of external impedance and different bead wire S
nLink to each other, an end of cock wheel tire impedance does not all link to each other with public steel wire G.The external tire impedance end of each SAW resonator group 5 bonded assemblys bonded assembly bead wire S of institute
nDifference, its center resonant frequency are also different, but they do not connect external tire impedance end and link to each other with public steel wire G all the time.Measure the change of resonance frequency of two SAW resonators 4 of each SAW resonator group 5 respectively, then the information of measuring is carried out tire pressure, temperature, wearing and tearing and the ageing state information that data fusion can obtain needs.External module 1 can be according to the concrete wearing and tearing and the ageing state of tire, and the temperature regime in the tire, utilize the pressure security scope of the tire of memory stores at different temperatures, different wearing and tearing and degree of aging, by intelligent inference, the pressure security state of tire under Current Temperatures and current wearing and tearing and the degree of aging is made right judgement.If the hypertonia of tire or low excessively, microcontroller is given the warning device give a signal, and warning device sends alerting signal; Simultaneously, microcontroller is given the read out instrument give a signal, the state of display of tyre and fault type, if the pressure state of tire is normal, microcontroller is only given the read out instrument give a signal, demonstrates the force value of tire.
Suppose that each the SAW resonator group 5 external tire impedance end that is embedded in the motor tire connect bead wire S respectively
j(j=1,2,3 ... n), each SAW resonator group 5 has different center resonant frequency f
J0(j=1,2,3 ... n), and will have certain difference between the center resonant frequency of each SAW resonator group 5, promptly the maximum that all is greater than external tire impedance of the difference between each SAW resonator group 5 center resonant frequency changes SAW resonator 4 resonant frequencys cause and changes.Center resonant frequency according to SAW resonator group 5, design SAW resonator group 5, matched impedance and near-end antenna under each frequency, matched impedance that links to each other with SAW resonator group 5 and near-end antenna all are the process optimal designs, under the condition that satisfies SAW resonator 4, matched impedance and near-end antenna tyre surface embedding installation, the capacity usage ratio of SAW resonator group 5, frequency stability, insertion loss and quality factor Combination property are best, the near-end antenna transmit and receive performance the best.
