Abstract

The process enables the contact-free and continuous measurement of the pressure of vehicle tyres irrespective of whether the vehicle or its wheels are stationary or moving (travelling). The process can be used for all types of tyres and for all types of road and rail vehicles and for aircraft. In this way information can easily be obtained at all times and inexpensively as to whether the tyre-pressures of the vehicle are correct or not. This is an important safety feature prior to and during use of the above-mentioned vehicle.

Description

VERFAHREN UND MESSMETHODE ZUR BERUEHRUNGSLOSEN MESSUNG DES DRUCKS VON FAHRZEUGREIFENMETHOD AND MEASURING METHOD FOR THE CONTACTLESS MEASUREMENT OF THE PRESSURE OF VEHICLE TIRES
BESCHREIBUNGDESCRIPTION
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein Verfahren zur beruehrungslosen Messung des Drucks von Fahrzeugreifen. Die Messung wird mit einem Sensor am Rad vorgenommen. Der Sensor besteht im Wesentlichen aus einem elektrischen Schwingkreis dessen Arbeitsfrequenz proportional zum Druck im Reifen ist. Die Einstellung der Arbeitsfrequenz erfolgt mittels Betastigung ueber eine druckempfindliche Membran.The invention relates to a method for the contactless measurement of the pressure of vehicle tires. The measurement is carried out with a sensor on the wheel. The sensor essentially consists of an electrical resonant circuit whose operating frequency is proportional to the pressure in the tire. The working frequency is set by means of a pressure-sensitive membrane.
Die Uebertragung der Druckinformatiαn vom Sensor zum Fahrzeug erfolgt beruehrungslos ueber eine gewisse Distanz mittels einer elektromagnetischen Kopplung zu einer am Fahrzeug angebrachten KoppelspuLe. Das Fahrzeug enthaelt geeignete elektroniscne Vorrichtungen zur Auswertung, Anzeige, Alarmgabe und zur Regelung des Luftdrucks.The pressure information is transmitted from the sensor to the vehicle without contact over a certain distance by means of an electromagnetic coupling to a coupling coil attached to the vehicle. The vehicle contains suitable electronic devices for evaluating, displaying, alarming and regulating the air pressure.
Die Neuerung besteht darin, dass bisher keine Verfahren bekannt sind, die eine beruehrungslose, kontinuierliche Messung des Reifendrucks, waehrend des Stillstandes wie auch waehrend der Fahrt, erlauben, mit der Ausnahme der Verwendung von Hochfrequenzsendern, eingebaut im Fahrzeugrad.
