Abstract
Description
The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for monitoring a state of a vehicle tire, and more particularly to an apparatus and method for monitoring a state of a tire using a sound wave sensor in real time.
The vehicle's tires transmit the driving force and the braking force of the vehicle to the road surface while supporting the load of the vehicle, so as to mitigate the impact received from the road surface, and to switch and maintain the traveling direction of the vehicle.
The wheel alignment, which affects such tire wear, has geometric angles for coordination stability and good ride quality, which means wheel alignment along geometric angles.
The wrong setting of the wheel alignment causes the road and tire friction in the transverse direction of the vehicle when driving in a straight line, resulting in the noise of the skill and the vibration of the car or the handle, thereby generating tire wear. Further, the straightness of the vehicle is lowered.
Wheel Alignment and Tire condition changes cause noise and body vibration due to the general rolling friction of tires and road surface, load caused by external side friction, abnormal tire and road surface ground pattern change.
Disclosure of Invention Technical Problem [8] Accordingly, the present invention has been made keeping in mind the above problems occurring in the prior art, and an object of the present invention is to provide a vehicle tire condition monitoring Apparatus, and method.
In addition, the present invention measures an acoustic signal generated by friction between a vehicle wheel and a road surface using a sound sensor and analyzes the measured sound signal to diagnose wheel alignment and abnormality of the tire condition, The present invention provides a vehicle tire condition monitoring apparatus and method that informs a driver of whether or not an inspection is required.
In order to solve the above problems, an apparatus for monitoring a condition of a vehicle according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a sensor unit for measuring environmental information and vehicle information mounted inside and outside a vehicle, A controller for checking whether the tire condition measurement condition is satisfied based on the environment information and the vehicle information and for controlling the operation of the sound wave sensor according to a result of the confirmation; And a processor for analyzing the sound wave signal measured by the sound wave sensor to diagnose whether or not tire inspection is required.
In addition, the environmental information includes temperature and humidity information.
In addition, the vehicle information includes information such as the position, speed, acceleration, and steering angle of the vehicle.
The sound wave sensor may be a piezo sensor, an acceleration sensor, or a microphone.
Further, the sound wave sensor is mounted inside the wheel house or the tire.
In addition, the processing unit may compare the environmental information, the vehicle information, and the sound wave signal with pre-stored reference information to determine whether or not to check the tire.
Further, the vehicle tire condition monitoring apparatus may further include a display unit for indicating whether or not the tire is diagnosed by the processing unit.
According to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a vehicle tire condition monitoring method including the steps of: collecting environment information and vehicle information measured by various sensors mounted on a vehicle; Determining whether the tire condition is satisfied, measuring a sound wave signal generated by friction between the tire and the road surface by operating the sound wave sensor when the tire condition measurement condition is satisfied, and diagnosing whether the tire is required to be inspected by analyzing the sound wave signal The method comprising the steps of:
The present invention monitors the tire condition in real time using a sound wave sensor to diagnose whether or not tire inspection is necessary and informs the user of the diagnosis result. Therefore, the user (the car owner) can perform tire replacement, wheel alignment inspection You can reduce the hassle of visiting a service center to check your tires.
In addition, the present invention provides convenience for a user who does not have a lot of knowledge about the vehicle, and can exert effects such as driving stability, fuel consumption and noise suppression of the vehicle.
