Cranked tire valve cap and tire condition monitoring device and system
Technical field
The utility model relates to the measurement mechanism that is applicable to car dress, relates in particular to cranked tire valve cap and tire condition monitoring device and system.
Background technology
Running at high speed in process of automobile, tire fault is that all drivers worry and the most difficult prevention the most, is also the major reason that sudden traffic accident occurs.According to statistics, the traffic accident occurring on China Expressway has 70% owing to blowing out, to cause, the investigation statistics of AIAE American institute of automobile engineers also shows, there are 260,000 traffic accidents in the U.S. every year because tire fault causes, and 75% tire fault is caused by low tyre or seepage.The economic loss that causes of blowing out is huge.According to the analysis expert at national rubber tire quality surveillance center, the tyre pressure maintaining the standard travels and finds that in time tire gas leakage is to prevent the key of blowing out.And TPMS---Vehicular tyre pressure monitoring system will be certainly to address this problem optimal instrument.In view of this, in US Congress in 2000, passed through TREAD bill.One of requirement of TREAD bill is by 2007, and all automobiles of selling in the U.S. all must mounting tyre pressure monitoring system.
Can not only there is high pressure at tire in tire pressure monitoring system, low pressure, and high temperature alarm reminds car owner to drive with caution, and can help car owner's fuel-economizing to save money, and becomes automobile low-carbon environment-friendly gang.Tire pressure monitoring system TPMS relevant statistics shows: automobile runs flat the fuel oil that consumes 3.3% more.A lot of car owners may not know that tire has the slow phenomenon of gas leakage naturally, and low tyre is all still unaware.
By tire pressure monitoring system, constantly understand tire state, pre-runflat, fuel-saving environmental protection.The demand of TPMS is risen a new industry.
But still existing much, present tyre condition monitoring system need to improve improved place.In the widely used direct-type tire pressure monitoring system of existing market, the built-in direct-type system of the monitoring device mounting structure that is built in inside tires completely and the external direct-type system of the complete external monitoring device mounting structure in outside tires have all been adopted.These two kinds of mounting meanss all have obvious shortcoming, and embedding structure exists installation and maintenance poor and change the problem of battery difficulty, external structure exist install be fixingly difficult for, anti-vibration ability and the problem such as very easily stolen.In addition, though also there is the mode of employing wireless power in prior art, be the indirect type system of built-in tire pressure monitoring device power supply, this mode powering quantity is few, spread of voltage, has limited normal work and the functions expanding of tire condition monitoring device.
