Definitions
- the invention relates to a method in which cyclic electrical energy is generated and accumulated from a load on a product, a high-frequency electrical pulse is generated from the accumulated electrical energy each time a threshold value is reached, and a high-frequency signal characteristic of the product is generated from the pulse , Moreover, the invention relates to an apparatus comprising a product and this related device having a converter for cyclically generating electrical energy from exposure of the product to a collector for the collection of energy, a trigger that from the accumulated 'electrical energy at each Reaching a threshold value generates a high-frequency electrical pulse, and an encoder, which generates a high-frequency signal characteristic of the product from the pulse.
- the invention also relates to a device comprising a plurality of products and, for each product, a device associated with it, as described above.
- a non-electrical primary energy available from an environment is converted into electrical energy in a converter.
- a high-frequency electrical pulse is generated from the electrical energy by means of an element with a non-linear characteristic coupled to the converter, and then a coded high-frequency signal is generated in a coding device coupled to this element.
- the coding device can additionally be connected to a sensor and this in such a way that the coded high-frequency signal contains information about a measurement value obtained by means of the sensor.
- the measured value can correspond to a temperature, a force or another variable.
- a tire for a motor vehicle with a sensor and an associated transponder is shown in EP 0 937 615 A2.
- the sensor forms a sensor system with the transponder and an associated antenna, and the transponder consists of a surface wave element.
- the sensor system represents a completely passive electronic circuit, which means that it does not require its own energy supply.
- the sensor system works as follows: An evaluation device sends a high-frequency electromagnetic pulse to the sensor system, which reaches the surface wave element via the antenna. There, an acoustic surface wave is generated on a piezoelectric substrate by means of an electroacoustic transducer, which propagates and is reflected back to the transducer by an arrangement of acoustic reflectors on the substrate.
- the reflection properties of the arrangement are influenced in a defined manner by the sensor;
- the sensor is, for example, a pressure-sensitive electrical resistor which is connected to the arrangement of the reflectors and determines their reflection properties; alternatively, the sensor is a piezoelectric crystal and, under a mechanical load, generates an electrical voltage which determines the capacitance of a capacitance diode which is connected to the reflective arrangement and thus influences the reflective property of the arrangement. In this way it is possible to measure different parameters of the tire.
- the arrangement recognizable from the mentioned WO 98/36395 A2 also includes an electro-acoustic surface wave element as described above and additionally comprises a device for generating the operationally required electrical see energy from an environmental parameter.
- This arrangement works without being dependent on a specific, permanently available electrical energy source and without having to be subjected to an electromagnetic pulse in order to obtain a desired signal; accordingly, it is largely autonomous.
- the object of the invention is to significantly simplify the method and the devices described at the outset.
- a method for determining a load which is exposed to a product in which a) cyclically generates and accumulates electrical energy from the load, and generates a high-frequency electrical pulse from the accumulated electrical energy each time a threshold value is reached and a high-frequency signal characteristic of the product is generated from the pulse; and b) the load is determined from a sequence of such signals.
- a device for determining a load to which a product is exposed comprising a) a device associated with the product with a converter for cyclically generating electrical energy from the load, a collector for accumulating the energy, a Trigger that is generated from the accumulated energy fl P- ⁇ s: n 0 s; TP EJ Hi ö er c ⁇ P- Cd N ti er
- This signal is then sent out and received by a suitable receiver.
- the receiver evaluates the sequence of these signals and uses them to determine the load, in particular from the distances between two immediately consecutive signals. This determination can optionally be made with the help of a suitably programmed conventional computer.
- the invention is preferably considered for implementation if the load to be determined is a mechanical load and the electrical energy is generated by means of a piezoelectric converter, or if the load is a thermal load and the electrical energy is generated by means of a pyroelectric converter.
- the electrical energy generated cyclically from the load is preferably accumulated in the respective converter; This is particularly worth considering if the converter is designed as a capacitor with a dielectric which is functionally essential for the generation of the electrical energy from the load - for example a piezoelectric or pyroelectric dielectric.
- the high-frequency electrical pulse is preferably generated by passive triggering, in particular via a zener diode or a spark gap.
- the characteristic signal is preferably generated by filtering and combined delaying the corresponding pulse.
- the combined deceleration can take place in particular in an electroacoustic surface wave element, wherein the surface acoustic wave element can at least partially be used for the filtering. It is preferably combined with a conventional bandpass filter as an additional filter.
- each characteristic signal is preferably sent electromagnetically to a receiver, which determines the load.
- the corresponding device has an antenna. It goes without saying that in this connection the receiver also has a corresponding antenna along with other corresponding circuits in analog or digital technology.
- the load is preferably determined in such a way that at least a length of a time interval between two signals which follow one another directly is measured.
- the product in particular performs a movement relative to a receiver which receives the sequence of signals during the determination of the load. This movement is especially a rotation.
- a particularly preferred development of the method consists in that, in addition to the load mentioned, a further load of a further product is measured, in which, in analogy to the described elements of the method a), further electrical energy is cyclically generated and accumulated from the further load, from the accumulated each time a threshold value is reached, electrical energy generates a further high-frequency electrical pulse and a further high-frequency signal characteristic of the further product is generated from the further pulse; and b) the further load is determined from a sequence of such further signals.
- the transducer, collector and trigger are preferably directly connected to the product.
- the collector is further preferably a capacitor and the trigger is a passive trigger controlled by an electrical voltage, in particular a spark gap.
- the collector is also preferably combined with the converter, as already described in the previous section.
- the encoder preferably comprises a surface wave element and in particular additionally a filter.
- the product is in particular a tire of a motor vehicle.
- the receiver can be positioned in particular in the motor vehicle for evaluation of the sequence of the signals; in this context it is also possible and preferred to equip all the tires of the motor vehicle that are operated together with one device each as described.
- Figure 1 shows a device for determining loads of several products
- Figure 2 shows a circuit from which a device for the cyclical generation of electrical energy from a
- variable resistance 17 determined reflectivity of the reflector 15. It is understood that a surface wave element 12 usually contains a plurality of reflectors, whereby it is optional how many reflectors 14 and 15 are provided.
