Abstract
The device adjusts the pressures supplied to date or deflate tyres using individual tyre pressure settings stored on a magnetic card. The actual pressure being applied is continuously displayed on a liquid crystal display. One or more tyres can be inflated simultaneously, a hookup harness for multiple inflation being shown in figure 5. The system can regulate pressures to +/- 0.5% and can identify leaking tyres and raise an alarm to alert the operator of such.
Description
ELECTRONIC TYRE INFLATER
This invention relates to an electronic based, venicle tyre inflator.
Tyre inflaters are typically mechanical items utilising moving parts, due to the hard handling they receive they damage easily, become inaccurate and unreliable.
This invention utilises an electronic regulator to adjust the pressures required to inflate/deflate tyres across a range of values from 0 to 160 PSIG. The invention uses a magnetic code to store individual tyre pressure settings. When inserted into the device, the magnetic card selects the values required, the regulator then adjusts the pressure to the data selected.
A specific embodiment of the invention will now be described by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings in which:
Figure 1 Shows a process flow diagram demonstrating the
essential elements.
Figure 2 Shows a schematic wiring diagram demonstrating
the connection details of the system.
Figure 3 Details the technical specifications of the
system.
Figure 4 Pneumatic multi-tyre hook-up harness.
Referring to the drawing, Fig 1, the system comprises a number of key components that connected in such a way form a system to allow for fully automatic setting of vehicle tyre pressures.
In order to operate the system, a magnetic card is offered upto the magnetic card reader, the code identifying your vehicle is then accessed from the TYRE PRESSURE DATA BASE. The actual values of pressures are then transmitted to an electronic display and control unit which informs the operator of the pressure value to be set and the tyre which is to be inflated.
An electronic signal is then 'transmitted' to the electronic regulator which transforms the electronic value into a pneumatic value, a continuous comparison procedure then adjusts the output pressure to with in +/- 0.5% of the required value. Whilst this process takes place the actual pressure value is continuously displayed as is an instruction, displayed in alpha-numeric characters on a liquid crystal display, which informs the operator of the status of the pressure value and the tyre which currently is under inflation.
Claims (7)
1 An accurate electronic tyre pressure regulator in the form
of a system made up of components identified in Fig 1 and
Fig 2.
2 A electronic tyre pressure regulator, capable, by means of
utilising the optional hook up harness identified in Fig 4
of inflating multiple tyres simultaneously, as installed on
commercial transport vehicles fixed and trailer type.
3 A electronic tyre inflator capable of being set to manual,
enabling the operator to manually adjust the pressure to
any value by means of hand eye control of the regulator
override features.
4 A fully automatic tyre inflation system which negates the
requirements for operator input to "look up and select
pressures' for a particular vehicle type. Automated by
using a magnetic card to select a vehicles set up data, the
system can adjust to accommodate any pressure values
currently used on vehicles to date.
5 A tyre inflation system, which due to its automatic, self
checking, continuous comparison technology can be left un
supervised to allow completely safe inflation of one or
more tyres simultaneously.
6 A tyre inflation system substantially detailed in Fig 1, 2,
3 and 4.
7 The tyre inflator can at the end of each inflation sequence
identify leaking tyres and can raise an alarm to identify
to the operator the tyre with the faulty seal.
