INSTRUCTION DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a tire state sensing device and a mounting method thereof, and more particularly to a universal use of a FlexiMe and mounting a wheel frame fixed to a vehicle tire. Type tire state sensing device and mounting method thereof. Q ° [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 to burst tires, endangering the lives and driving safety of passengers. The tire condition sensing device can help the driver to check the condition of the vehicle wheel at any time in the vehicle, such as tire pressure, temperature, etc., thereby effectively increasing the vehicle's integrity. In general, the tire state sensing device is mounted at a wheel frame of a vehicle tire, and the tire state sensing device includes a housing having a tire state sensor (Sensor) mounted therein Power source (Power s〇Urce), for example, battery. The tire condition sensor detects the state inside the tire (eg tire pressure, temperature, etc.) and then transmits a status signal inside the tire to a receiver located outside the tire, which in turn evaluates the status signal inside the tire. The information inside the tire is transmitted to the vehicle through the on-board display to provide status information inside the tire. When the device is connected to a tire valve stem (Valve Stem) and assembled on the wheel frame of the vehicle tire, the tire valve stem is extended outward from the through hole of the side wall of the wheel frame, and then the nut is used. Lock the tire stem to the side wall of the wheel frame. When the tire 5 1261552 valve is fixed on the side wall of the wheel frame, if the angle between the tire stem and the casing is not good, the casing will not be in contact with the Rim Bed and will be suspended. The casing tends to be shaken by the centrifugal force generated when the tire rotates, which is not conducive to stable driving of the vehicle. In severe cases, the suspended adult body will hit the wheel frame and cause damage to the tire state sensor, the casing may be broken, or the tire stem may be detached from the casing. The broken casing fragments or the detached tire valve stem are more likely. Will pierce the tires, seriously affecting driving safety. Therefore, how to secure the body to the wheel frame bed becomes a very important issue. On the other hand, due to the considerable number of wheel frames, the wheel sets for different types are replaced by the length of the wheel port valve, or the tire stem is changed based on the consideration of the assembly safety of the tire state sensing device. A fixed angle with the housing to ensure that the tire condition sensing device is mounted on the wheel frame of the vehicle tire can be stabilized. However, it will result in an increase in production costs and considerable inconvenience in use. U.S. Patent No. 5,844,131 discloses a tire condition sensing device that uses two bottom members at the bottom of the housing to enable the housing to be placed against the wheel. U.S. Patent No. 6,865,932 discloses a mounting sensor. The device on the wheel frame 'uses a blocking element on either side of the housing of the sensor to place the housing against the wheel frame bed. When applied to a variety of different types of wheel frames, it does not adjust the angle between the tire stem and the housing to lock the sensor to the wheel frame. On the other hand, the tire valve stem is fixed to the housing, so that when the length of the tire stem is not in line with the wheel frame, it is not possible to replace the tire valve cup of the appropriate length. Therefore, the above two patents cannot be applied to various types of wheels 6 I261552. Therefore, it is very urgent to develop a tire state sensing and dressing method, which can adjust the angle between the tire stem and the casing; The length of the tire valve stem' thus effectively improves the shortcomings of the conventional tire shape. 『Apparel Contents】 The object of the present invention is to provide a tire state sensing device and a mounting method thereof, thereby providing an adjustable angle between a valve stem and a housing for a variety of different types of wheel frames. The purpose of the universal tire condition sensing device. Another object of the present invention is to provide a tire condition sensing device, a method of securing the same, which provides a coupling mechanism for a replaceable tire stem for use with a variety of different types of wheel frames. Another object of the present invention is to provide a tire state sensing device and a method thereof, thereby greatly increasing the contact force between the tire stem and the casing, thereby preventing the tire stem from coming off the casing to ensure driving. Safety. τ According to the above object of the present invention, a tire state sensing device is proposed for mounting on a wheel frame.
