Abstract
Description
図1は、物理量検出装置1を取り付けたタイヤTの断面図である。図1に示すように、物理量検出装置1は、車両のタイヤTの内面T1に取り付けられ、タイヤTのひずみを含む物理量を検知する。
図8は本実施形態に係る保持部材7と、比較例に係る保持部材107の効果を比較した模式断面図である。
図9は、本発明の第2実施形態に係る保持部材の正面図である。また、図10は、本発明の第2実施形態に係る保持部材の側面図である。
保持部材27の底面27aには、空間7jの内側と外側(例えば保持部材27の側面)とを連通するスリット27kが設けられている。そのため、物理量検出装置21をタイヤTの内面T1に取り付ける目的で保持部材27の空間7jに接着剤8を充填してタイヤTの内面T1に保持部材27を押し付けたときに、余分な接着剤8を空間7jからスリット27kに逃がすことができる。これにより、ベース部材6bに必要以上の力を加えることなく保持部材27をタイヤに接着できるとともに、ベース部材6bとタイヤ内面T1との距離にばらつきが生じることを抑制できるため精度良くひずみを検知できる。また、保持部材27のタイヤTの内面T1に対する接着面積を拡大できる。
図11は、本発明の第3実施形態に係る保持部材の正面図である。また、図12は、本発明の第3実施形態に係る保持部材の側面図である。
保持部材37の底面37aが空間7j(図2参照)の内側と外側とを連通するスリットが、1つ以上(本実施形態では、脚部37g,37hの底面37aに各3つ)の凹部37kによって形成されている。そのため、例えば複数の凹部37kを配列させた方向に沿った力(例えば応力)が保持部材37に作用した場合に、当該力を複数の凹部37kで分散して支持することができる。これにより、凹部37kが無い場合に比して、タイヤTの変形の繰返しや突起物に乗上げた時の衝撃によるひずみセンサ6に作用する負荷を分散でき、ひずみセンサ6の耐久性を向上させることができる。また、保持部材37のタイヤTの内面T1に対する接着面積をさらに拡大できる。
図13は、本発明の第4実施形態に係る保持部材の正面図である。また、図14は、本発明の第4実施形態に係る保持部材の側面図である。
スリットを構成する1つ以上の凹部47kの底に位置する隅部には曲面が形成されている。そのため、タイヤTの内面T1から接着剤8を介して保持部材37に作用する力をさらに分散して支持することができる。これにより、タイヤTの変形の繰返しや突起物に乗上げた時の衝撃によるひずみセンサ6への負荷を分散でき、耐久性をさらに向上させることができる。
図15は、本発明の第5実施形態に係る物理量検出装置の断面図である。本実施形態に係る物理量検出装置51が第1実施形態に係る物理量検出装置1と異なる点は、保持部材57と接合する収容ケース52と、保持部材57の収容ケース52と接合する部分57nとには、保持部材57の中空空間57iとタイヤTの内部とを連通させる貫通孔57m,52a,52cが設けられている点である。
保持部材57と収容ケース52は、中空空間57iとタイヤTの内部とを連通させる貫通孔57m,52a,52cを有する。そのため、中空空間57iとタイヤの内部とで圧力差が生ずることを抑制でき、圧力差によりひずみセンサ6に力が働いて検出誤差が生じることを抑制できる。
