- Fig. 3 is a schematic illustration of the electrical circuitry interconnecting one of the primary load cells to a corresponding supplementary load cell;
- Figs. 4A and 4B, collectively Fig. 4 is flow diagram of the process of the present invention.
- Tire 12 is typically a pneumatic tire having a circumferential tire tread with top and bottom shoulder regions and a central region between the top and bottom shoulder regions.
- the tire 12 can be mounted on a rim 14 secured to a tire spindle 16 and inflated to a desired pressure.
- the tire 12 can be placed under load by a load wheel 18, which is rotatably supported on a fixed spindle 20 extending through the load wheel and suspended from primary load cells 22,24 at either end.
- the primary load cells 22,24 are mounted to the frame supports 26,28, respectively, of the tire uniformity machine.
- Each of the primary load cells 22,24 includes a lateral load cell section conventionally used to measure the lateral force exerted by the tire 12 against load wheel 18 in a direction parallel to the axis of rotation extending about which the load wheel rotates.
- the primary load cells 22,24 also include a radial load cell section conventionally used to measure the radial force at the point of intersection of the tire 12 and the load wheel 18 exerted by the tire 12 against the load wheel 18 and through spindle 20 about which the load wheel rotates.
- An important aspect of the present invention relates to the provision of supplementary load cells 30,32 mounted in close proximity to the primary load cells 22,24, such as on the frame supports 26,28, respectively, as shown.
- Each supplementary load cell 30,32 has a fixed mass, such as weight 34,36, respectively, attached thereto to simulate the fixed mass attached to each of the primary load cells
- supplementary load cells 30,32 are shown mounted to frame supports 26,28 in one location, it is also within the terms of the invention to mount them at other locations on the TUM 10, as long as they are in close proximity to and oriented in the same direction as primary load cells 22,24.
- the load wheel 18 is pressed against the tire to load the inflated tire with a specified force (for example, 600 to 1900 lb) to simulate road conditions.
- the spindle 20 is mounted to bearing blocks (not shown) and is moved by conventional means, such as an electric motor (not shown) operating through a ball-and-screw connection, to move the load wheel 18 into and out of engagement with the tire 12.
- a shoulder grinding assembly 38 is located substantially 180° with respect to tire 12 from load wheel 18.
- the shoulder grinding assembly 38 includes substantially identical top and bottom shoulder grinders 40a and 40b (only top shoulder grinder 40a is illustrated and described) , which include grinding wheels that are powered by motors and are independently moved into and out of engagement with the shoulder regions of tire 12.
- the top shoulder grinder 40a has a grinding wheel 42a powered by a motor 44a and can be moved into and out of engagement with the shoulder portions of tire 12 by any conventional means, such as an hydraulic servo device (not shown) .
- a center grinder assembly 46 is located adjacent wheel 12 approximately 90° counterclockwise about tire 12 from load wheel 18.
- the center grinder assembly 46 has a grinding wheel 48 that is powered by a motor 50 and is moved into and out of engagement with the central region of the tread of tire 12 by conventional means, such as with an hydraulic servo device (not shown) .
- Voltage signals are generated by primary load cells 22,24 and inputted through lines 52 and 54, respectively, into an electric signal conditioner 56.
- the electric signal conditioner 56 includes substantially identical signal conversion sections 58 and 60 which convert the force measurement voltage signals generated by primary load cells 22,24, respectively, into signals that are conditioned so that they can be inputted to and stored in a computer 62.
- the signal conversion sections 58 and 60 as shown in Fig. 3, each includes at least one amplifier 64 connected by lines 52,54 to primary load cells 22, 24, respectively.
- the amplified output signal from the amplifier 64 is directed through line 66 into an anti-aliasing filter 68 to cut off the high frequency outputs, i.e.
- the electric signal conditioner 60 also includes a low pass filter 70 connected in series to anti- aliasing filter 68 through line 72.
- the low pass filter 70 attenuates frequencies greater than 16 hertz, from the amplified output signal of amplifier 64 so that the signal bandwidth is limited to frequencies generated by the tire and load wheel .
- the output signal from low pass filter 62 is directed through lines 74,76 into a signal summing sections 78,80, respectively, as discussed below.
- the present invention is directed to the measurement and elimination of deviations from the prescribed specifications of the TUM 10, i.e., operating under conditions without extraneous vibrations, caused primarily by extraneous vibrations generated by or induced in machine 10.
- the extraneous vibrations are caused by rotating components such as a motor-driven tire spindle 16, the tire grinding assemblies 38, and the center grinding assembly 46, the motor bearings wearing out, the grind wheels being defective or improperly installed, and/or noise and vibration from machines external to the tire uniformity machine 10.
- the primary sensors for many of the required measurements used in operating the TUM 10 are primary load cells 22,24 which are normally in the electrical differential mode. This fact, combined with the inherent low impedance of primary load cells 22,24, usually provides an adequate quality signal output for the TUM 10.
- the primary load cells 22,24 cannot discriminate between the signal components generated by the force measurement of the tire and a vibration or force component generated by an extraneous vibration generated or picked up by the TUM 10.
- supplementary load cells 30,32 with substantially identical characteristics to the primary load cells 22,24 are mounted to the TUM 10 so as to be oriented in the same direction and in very close proximity to the primary measuring load cells 22,24, respectively.
- the supplementary load cells 30,32 have a fixed mass, such as weight 34, 36, respectively, attached thereto.
- the output voltage signals from the supplementary load cells 30, 32 are directed through pairs of electrical lines 80 and 81 into substantially identical differential input sections 84,86, respectfully. Since differential input sections 84,86 are substantially identical, only differential input sections 86 is shown and described. Referring to Fig.
- the pair of electrical lines 82 are reversed in differential input section 86 and are inputted into a gain adjustment amplifier 88.
- the differential voltage signal being output from gain adjustment amplifier 88 is then directed into a line 90 and into a phase adjustment amplifier 92.
- the voltage output signal from phase adjustment amplifier 92 is then outputted through line 94 into signal summing section 78.
- the voltage signals through electrical lines 76 and 94 are directed through resistors 96 and 98, respectively, and then combined into line 100 and inputted into a summing amplifier 102.
- the summing amplifier 102 subtracts the voltage signals from lines 94 and 76 and the resulting amplified signal from summing amplifier 102 is then outputted from signal summing section 80 through line 106 into computer 62.
- the resulting amplified signal outputted from signal summing section 78 through line 106 is directed into computer 62.
- Each supplementary load cell 30,32 and corresponding primary measuring load cell 22,24 measure virtually the same noise and vibration components when the TUM 10 is running with no load on the load wheel 18. Since both the primary load cells 22,24 and their corresponding supplementary load cells 30,32 are operating in the differential mode, the pair of signal wires 81,82 from the supplementary load cells can be reversed, as shown in Fig. 3, without any adverse electrical effects. Using this configuration, a positive vibration in the TUM 10 will generate both a positive signal output from the primary measuring load cells 22,24 and a negative signal output from the supplementary load cells
- the amplifier 92 provides a phase angle adjustment which can be adjusted to correct for the difference in location of the supplementary load cells 30,32 with respect to the corresponding primary load cells 22 and 24. That is, the machine 10 can be calibrated with the rotating portions, such as the motors and grinders turned off.
- a conventional vibration generating device such as a Model No. 2706 power amplifier and Model No. 4809 shaker from Beuel & Kjaer of Denmark.
- the gain and phase of the voltage output signals from the supplementary load cells are adjusted with amplifiers 88 and 92 in sections 84 and 86 so that there is a minimum difference between the output voltage signals being outputted by the summing sections 78 and 80 as calculated by computer 62.
- This calibration effectively cancels the vibration signals induced in the TUM 10 that are picked up by both the primary and supplementary load cells.
- FIG. 4 there is illustrated a flow diagram of the present invention.
- a TUM 10 which incorporates the electric signal conditioner 56 of the present invention is running without force applied by the load wheel 18, the voltage signals inputted through lines 104 and 106 into the computer 62 will be close to zero.
- the measuring load cells 22,24 will respond to the additional load plus the vibration components produced by the rotating components and any extraneous vibrations .
- the supplementary load cells 30,32 will see only the vibration components produced by the rotating components and any extraneous vibrations.
- the vibrational components measured by the primary load cells will be canceled out.
- the remaining signal components, generated by the primary load cells 22,24 will, for the most part, result from the load forces of the tire against the load wheel 18. That is, the two analog signals being outputted from signal summing sections 78,80 correspond to the monitored radial and/or lateral forces with very low background noise generated by the tire 12 loaded against the load wheel 18 during a predetermined period of time.
- the computer 62 independently samples the analog signals being inputted from the summing sections 78,80 for a predetermined time and converts the analog signals to digital signals.
- computer 62 converts the digital signals to a frequency domain signal representation using a Conventional Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) program for each of the primary load cell signals less the supplementary load cells being monitored.
- FFT Fast Fourier Transform
- the phase shift for each primary load cell can be calculated and a correction table generated for each frequency present in the spectrum.
- signals can be acquired periodically while running without a load on the tire and new FFT's can be calculated and compared with the original FFT's. Comparing the frequency spectrum and the amplitudes of each rotating component of TUM 10 would enable, an operator to discover the malfunction of some part of the rotating components. The malfunction could generate an alarm signal .
- the computer 62 than operates on the frequency domain signal representation to calculate a power spectrum, as discussed in the previously discussed U.S. Patent Application entitled Method of Machine Vibration Analysis For The Tire Uniformity Machine, of discrete frequency components in hertz versus the amplitude or magnitude of the discrete frequency components in pounds. Selected frequency components are then compared with selected groupings of frequencies representing critical frequencies of different moving parts of the tire uniformity machine 10. An acceptable amplitude for the selected groups of frequencies, representing critical frequencies of the moving parts operating as designed, is inputted into the computer.
- an alarm signal is output by the computer.
- the alarm signal indicates that a rotating portion of the tire uniformity machine 10 is defective.
- the alarm signal could be inputted into a display monitor and/or used to activate an alarm device such as a light or audible alarm, i.e., a bell or buzzer, to alert a machine operator that the tire uniformity machine 10 is vibrating at a level beyond an acceptable limit.
- the moving component of the tire uniformity machine 10 or external vibration source which is causing the unwanted vibration can be isolated as generally described in the application entitled Method of Machine Vibration Analysis For The Tire Uniformity Machine.
- Computer 62 is conventionally programmed to determine the conicity, lateral force values, radial run-out, and radial force values of the tire 12, and to control the corrective grinding action to take, as discussed in U.S. Patent Application Serial No.
- 08/534,809 entitled METHOD OF CORRECTING CONICITY, RADIAL RUN OUT, AND FORCE VARIATIONS IN A PNEUMATIC TIRE, assigned to The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co., the assignee of the present invention, is connected to the shoulder grinding assembly 24 and to the center grinder assembly 26 to position these grinding assemblies, as required.
