Abstract

A tire monitoring device with GPS and mobile communication means including a sensor (C) joined to the wheel rim (H) by means of a belt (C1). The sensor circuit (C5, figure 3) detects the pressure and temperature of a tire and the transmitting circuit (C6, figure 3) transmits the data to an aerial. The aerial transmits the data to a receiver (D, figure 4) that displays the status on a screen. If an anomaly occurs, a communication module (D3, figure 2) transmits a signal to a GPS receiver (E, figure 2), at which time a repair workshop closest to the vehicle is displayed on a monitor. If an unusual movement in the vehicle position occurs, the sensor transmits data to the GPS receiver, thereby notifying the vehicle location to a mobile communication device (K, figure 7).

TIRE SAFETY MONITORING GPS DISPLAY DEVICE
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
(a) Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a tire safety monitoring GPS display device having structural characteristics whereby a contact surface of a sensor is joined to a surface of a tire steel ring by means of a circular fitting fixing agent, and the sensor is securely fixed onto the steel ring of a tire thereof.
0 (b) Description of the Prior Art
Referring to FIG. 1, which shows a conventional method for measuring vehicle tire pressure, whereby a tire pressure gauge B is inserted onto an inflation nozzle Al of a tire A, thereby enabling measuring of internal air pressure of the tire A. However, when a user wishes to measure the tire pressure, the user must stop the moving vehicle by the roadside in order to carry out the measurement.
Furthermore, after the vehicle has been driving for a long period of time, in order to measure amount of change in the pressure of vehicle tires, the vehicle must be first stopped before the measurement can be carried out. Such a procedure is not only troublesome; moreover, traffic accidents easily result as a consequence of such a course of action.
In addition, a traditional tire pressure gauge is only able to measure pressure of the tire, and does not have functionality of real-time reporting and real-time measurement of status of the vehicle tires, and thus, when a driver is driving the vehicle, accidents can easily occur because of insufficient tire pressure.
Hence, the inventor of the present invention proposes to resolve and surmount existent technical difficulties to eliminate the aforementioned shortcomings.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention provides a tire safety monitoring GPS display device, and referring to FIGS. 2, 3 and 4 which show the present invention structured to comprise a sensor C, a belt Cl, a main receiver 0 and a GPS receiver E, wherein an aerial C4, a sensor circuit C5 and IS a transmitting circuit C6 are configured on a circuit board C7 interior of the sensor C (see FIG. 3).
The present invention (with additional reference to FIG. 5) is structurally characterized in that: a contact surface C8 ofhe sensor C is joined to a surface of a tire steel ring H by means of a circular fitting fixing agent C9, and an inflation nozzle Hi of the tire steel ring H penetrates a through hole C3 of the sensor C, and after the belt Cl is made to pass through a through hole 02 of the sensor C, the sensor C is thereupon securely fixed onto the tire steel ring H therewith.
Furthermore, an arc-shaped form of the contact surface C8 is utilized to effectuate tight adhering of the sensor C to a surface of the tire steel ring H. When the sensor circuit C5 interior of the sensor C detects pressure and temperature interior of a tire, the transmitting circuit 06 transmits data to the aerial C4, and thereon a wireless signal carrying the data is transmitted to the main receiver 0 (see FIG. 4), whereupon status regarding the pressure and temperature interior of the lire is displayed on a screen of the main receiver D. If there is a situation whereby insufficient vehicle tire pressure or too high a vehicle tire pressure occurs, a communications module D3 transmits communication F to the GPS receiver E, whereby method employed to transmit the communication F from the communications module D3 is either through a wireless mode of the aerial Dl or a wired mode of a connector port D2 according to choice of a pser. The GPS receiver F is correspondingly configured with an aerial El to receive the signal communication F from the main receiver D or receives the signal communication F from the main receiver D through a connector port E2, at which time the GPS receiver E displays on a monitor a car repair workshop and a tire inflation station at a closest distance from vehicle, thereby informing the user how to proceed toward the workshop in order to service the vehicle s tire, and thus preventing an accident from occurring.
Furthermore, if after parking the vehicle, the vehicle happens to be moved, the sensor C detects that displacement of the vehicle tires has occurred, and transmits a signal to the main receiver D, and upon the main receiver D receiving the signal from the displaced tires, the communications module D3 transmits a wireless signal to the GPS receiver E employing the wireless mode from the aerial Dl or transmits wired data to the GPS receiver E employing the wired mode from the connector port D2 according to choice of the user, and therefrom transmits location of the vehicle to a mobile communications device or a PDA (Personal Digital Assistant) used by the user by means of a communications module E3 built into the GPS receiver F that employs communication methods including GPS (Global Positioning System), GPRS (General Packet Radio Service), CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) or GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications), thereby informing the user that the vehicle has been moved, and thus achieving effectiveness of providing a theft alarm and tracing theft of the vehicle.
Communication methods adopted by the main receiver 0 and the GPS receiver E to transmit signals include wireless signal transmission methods employed by wireless Bluetooth, FM (frequency modulation), and AM (amplitude modulation); moreover, communication methods adopted by the connected port D2 of the main receiver D and the connected port E2 of the GPS receiver E to transmit signals include wired signal connector transmission methods employed by RS-232 (Recommended Standard-232, asynchronous serial communication port), and USB (Universal Serial Bus).
