[Prior Art] Insufficient tire pressure in automobile tires, which is inconvenient for driving, such as fuel consumption, car handling is affected, and tire durability and tread life are also reduced. The heavy ones cause tires in car tires, endangering the safety of passengers. The tire monitoring system helps the driver to check the condition of the vehicle tires at any time in the vehicle, such as the pressure/JBL degree, thus effectively increasing the safety of the vehicle. Please refer to FIG. 1 , which is a schematic diagram showing the structure of a conventional tire monitoring system. Wherein, the tire state sensing devices 12, 14, 16, and 18 are respectively captured in four tires, and the antennas 22, 24, 26, and 28 are respectively mounted in the vehicle body structure near the tire state sensing devices 12, 14 The bits 16 and 18 are also connected, and the antennas 22, 24, 26 and 28 are connected to the receiver 3G (with signal receiving circuit) located in the vehicle body structure. In operation, the tire state sensing device wirelessly transmits the condition signal of the tire, and after receiving the signal, the antennas 22, 24, 26 and 28 transmit the signal to the receiver %, and then transmit the notification through the display device (not shown). The condition of the driver's tires.畐 After the receiver 30 receives the signal, first of all, the wheel lion mouth & amp system must identify the position of the tire state sensing device that emits this signal „ ^ ^ e Μ I Wan Yue 匕 inform the driver of this message 唬疋 belongs to that one round, Xi Bai $ 4 identifies the tire state sensing 124882 The relative position of the device and the tire is the action of the operator to deflate and re-inflate the tire one by one, with the impatience of each tire pressure Decreasing, wherein the tire state sensing device continuously emits a condition signal of the tire, and then decoding the signal to obtain an identification number of the tire state sensing device, thereby establishing a correspondence relationship between the tire state sensing device and the tire position. During operation, when the receiver receives a certain signal, it can obtain the identification number of a tire state sensing device after decoding, and then confirm the transmission through the corresponding relationship between the tire state sensing device and the tire. The position of the tire of this signal. However, the above-mentioned prior art cannot be automatically performed and must be completed by human operation. The tire is deflated and re-inflated. When the time of the new tire or the change of the tire is changed, the position of the tire state sensing device has to be re-recognized, so the conventional technology is rather inefficient and time consuming, and cannot meet the needs of the consumer. Therefore, it is very urgent to develop a positioning method of a tire state sensing device, thereby automatically recognizing the position of the tire state sensing device and greatly shortening the identification time, thereby effectively saving manpower and material resources and satisfying the needs of consumers. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a positioning method of a tire state sensing device, thereby automatically recognizing the position of the tire state sensing device, = using manpower. - A further object of the present invention is to provide a tire The clamping method of the state sensing device is used to greatly shorten the time of identifying the tire state sensing device. According to the above object of the present invention, a clamping method of the tire state sensing device is proposed, thereby identifying the installation in a transportation tool. The position of the plurality of tire state sensing devices. In an embodiment, the positioning method of the tire state sensing device of the present invention at least includes the steps of: providing a plurality of antennas, wherein the antennas are respectively mounted at positions close to the tire state sensing device; entering the positioning pull type; Receiving and decoding a signal, wherein the signal includes at least one identification number, and the identification number belongs to one of the tire state sensing devices of the tire state sensing device, so the signal is determined by the first tire state sensing device Transmitting; determining whether the signal is continuously transmitted for a period of time and generating a first determination result; when the first determination result is yes, obtaining a signal strength generated after the antenna collectively receives the signal; determining whether the identification number belongs to Transporting the tool and generating a second determination result; and when the second determination result is yes, performing the step of identifying the signal position. The step of identifying the signal position includes at least the following steps: rotating the antenna rapidly in turn, and the antenna receives the signal to generate a complex number Signal strength change value, in which each antenna is activated Or the off state is continuously maintained for a period of time; comparing the signal strength change values to obtain a maximum value; determining the position of the first tire state sensing device that is transmitting the signal, wherein the maximum value is in the switching antenna When the first antenna is generated, the first tire state sensing device corresponds to the first antenna. Therefore, by applying the present invention, the position of the tire state sensing device can be automatically recognized without using labor; the time for recognizing the tire state sensing device is greatly shortened, and manpower and material resources are effectively saved, and the demand of the consumer is satisfied. 1248882 [Embodiment] The present invention is characterized in that when determining a transmission signal, the antenna is rapidly switched in turn, and a plurality of signal strength change values are obtained, wherein the position of the antenna that generates the maximum of the signal strength change values is obtained. That is, the position corresponding to the tire state sensing device that is transmitting the signal. The present invention can be applied to a tire monitoring system as shown in Fig. 1. Hereinafter, only the first figure will be used to conveniently explain the positioning method of the tire state sensing device of the present invention, however, the present invention is not limited thereto. The invention is applicable to any vehicle (e.g., automobile, locomotive, etc.) having any number of tires, including spare tires. 4, FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram showing the signal positioning method of the tire state sensing device according to the embodiment of the present invention, wherein the tire state sensing devices 12, 14, 16 are alternately rotated. The first period of time (eg, i minutes) continuously transmits the signal for a second period of time (eg, 1 〇 ms). As shown in Fig. 2, at the time point (7), first, it was found that the tire state sensing device was transmitting a signal. The tire monitoring system then enters a positioning mode. Between the time point and the time point t1 (this period is hereinafter referred to as the third paragraph: between) the antennas 22, 24, 26 and 28 receive the condition H about a certain tire and transmit the signal to the receiver 3M. Moxibustion, decode this signal. Since the identification number of the tire state sensing device is included, the signal is thus recognized from the tire state sensing device 14 for example. Lack, because the system does not know the sense of tire status,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, The condition of the tires. 1248882 Next, the system will determine whether the signal is continuously transmitted between the time point t〇 and the time point ^, that is, whether the signal is continuously received and received by the user during the time period, and if the judgment result is yes, the system obtains The first signal strength (eg, the average signal strength of the signal curve 70 between t〇 and t1) generated by the receiver 30 after the antennas 22, 24, 26, and 28 collectively receive the signal. Then, it is judged whether or not the aforementioned identification number belongs to the system (i.e., whether it is emitted by the tire state sensing device in the wheel tool in which the system is located). If the identification number belongs to the system, the step of identifying the signal position is performed. At time t1, the antennas 22, 24, 26 and 28 are all turned off, and then each antenna is turned on and off first in turn, and the starting state of each antenna is continuously maintained for a period of time (for example: 0.44 ms). . For example, after the antennas 22, 24, 26, and 28 are all turned off, the antenna 22 is turned on at the time point t1, the antenna 22 is turned off and the antenna 24 is turned on at the time point t2, and the antenna 24 is turned off and the antenna 26 is turned on at the time point t3; The antenna 26 is turned off and the antenna 28 is turned on at the time point t4; then, the antennas 2 2, 2 4, 2 6 and 2 8 are all turned on at the time point 15, wherein the intervals of the time points 11, 12 t3, t4 and t5 are, for example: 〇 .44ms (this period is referred to below as the fourth period of time). When the switch antennas 22, 24, 26, and 28 are rapidly turned, the first signal strength of the signal curve 70 changes to a plurality of second signal strengths of the signal curves 72, 74, 76, and 78, and the first signal strength is compared. And a plurality of signal strength change values (differences) obtained after the second signal strength. Then, the signal strength change values are compared to obtain a maximum value, i.e., the signal curve 74, and the signal curve 74 is generated when the antenna 24 is switched, i.e., the antenna 24 is closest to the tire state sensing device that is transmitting the signal. Since the tire state sensing device must have the aforementioned identification number, and the identification 1248882 number belongs to the tire state sensing device 14, the system can recognize that the position of the tire state sensing device 14 corresponds to the antenna 24, that is, the tire state. The sensing device 14 detects the tire corresponding to the antenna 24. Then, after time t5, the system will receive the signals transmitted by the tire state sensing devices 12, 16 and 18 respectively. After repeating the above steps, the system can identify all the tire state sensing devices 12, 16 and It is worth mentioning that the tire state sensing device continuously transmits a signal such as 1 〇ms every, for example, 丨 minute. Therefore, the present invention recognizes the operation time of a tire state sensing device (e.g., at time t0 to T5) must be completed in 1〇ms. Therefore, the signal receiving circuit used in the present invention must be able to reflect, for example, a change in the signal strength of the antenna in the range of 1 〇 _. Further, the antenna used in the present invention may be an antenna of the same specification type. In addition, the step of recognizing the signal position in the embodiment of the present invention may also maintain the antennas 22, 24, 26, and 28 in the activated state at the time point t1, and then turn off each antenna quickly and then turn off each antenna, and make each antenna The off state is maintained for a period of time (for example: 〇 44nis). For example: turn off the antenna 22' at the time point u and turn on the antenna 22 and turn off the antenna 24 at the time point t2; turn on the antenna 24 and turn off the antenna 26 at the time point t3; turn on the antenna 26 and turn off the antenna 28 at the time point t4; At the time point t5, the antenna 28 is fully turned on. When the antennas 22, 24, %, and 28 are turned off rapidly, the signal strength of the signal curve 70 is weakened, and the second signal intensity is respectively generated, and a complex number between the first signal strength and the second signal strength is obtained. The letter 7 tiger intensity change value (difference). Then, compare the signal strength change values, find out which one has the largest change (the most decrease) at 10 1248882, and know that the tire corresponding to the antenna that produces the maximum change value is the tire state sensing device that is transmitting the signal. location. Please refer to FIG. 3A and FIG. 3B, which are schematic diagrams showing the positioning method of the tire state sensing device and the step of identifying the signal position in the embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 3A, first, a step ι is performed to provide a plurality of antennas, such that the antennas are respectively mounted at positions close to the plurality of tire state sensing devices, and the tire state sensing device is mounted on the tire state sensing device. In the transportation vehicle. After the tire monitoring system enters the positioning mode (step 11A), the antennas are all activated (step 120). Then, step 13 is performed to receive and decode an nickname, wherein the number includes at least an identification number, and the identification number belongs to the first tire state sensing device in the tire state sensing device, so the signal is A tire state sensing device emits. Then, step 14 is performed to determine whether or not to continue transmitting the signal, that is, whether the signal continues to be detected by the right step 14〇 for a period of time, and then the antenna obtains the signal (the signal obtained by the receiver) is obtained. The signal strength produced after (step 15〇). A ν step 160 is performed to determine if the identification number of the signal belongs to the vehicle. If the result of step 16 为 is YES, then step 1 70 of identifying the signal position is performed. If the result of step 140 or step 16 is negative, then return to step 13 to continue receiving and decoding a signal. As shown in Fig. 3, in step 17 of identifying the signal position, first, each antenna is rapidly switched in turn (step 172), and the receiver receives the signal to generate a plurality of signal strength change values, wherein each antenna The startup state or the shutdown state is continuously maintained for a period of time.
