SYSTEM FOR MEASURING THE INTERNAL TEMPERATURE OF A RUNNING TIRE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240051358 titled 'SYSTEM FOR MEASURING THE INTERNAL TEMPERATURE OF A RUNNING TIRE
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a system for measuring the temperature inside a rubber compound of a tire while it is running. The system includes a sensor with a microprocessor, radio transmission means, a temperature measuring probe, and power supply means. The sensor is inserted in an area of the tire originating from a manufacturing process, which is identified based on predefined selection criteria. The sensor is embedded in a hermetically sealed volume formed inside the rubber compound of the tire. The system also includes means for keeping the sensor in a fixed position while the tire is running.
- The system measures the temperature inside a tire while it is in motion.
- It includes a sensor with a microprocessor, radio transmission means, a temperature measuring probe, and power supply means.
- The sensor is inserted in a specific area of the tire based on predefined selection criteria.
- The sensor is embedded in a hermetically sealed volume within the rubber compound of the tire.
- The system ensures the sensor remains in a fixed position while the tire is running.
Potential Applications:
- Tire manufacturing: The system can be used to monitor the temperature inside tires during the manufacturing process to ensure quality control.
- Tire performance optimization: By measuring the temperature inside the tire while it is running, the system can provide valuable data for optimizing tire performance and durability.
- Tire maintenance: The system can be used to monitor the temperature of tires during use, allowing for early detection of potential issues such as overheating or abnormal temperature variations.
Problems Solved:
- Lack of temperature monitoring during tire manufacturing: The system solves the problem of not having a reliable method to measure the temperature inside a tire during the manufacturing process.
- Limited data on tire temperature during use: The system provides a solution for obtaining real-time temperature data from inside the tire while it is running, allowing for better understanding and analysis of tire performance.
Benefits:
- Quality control: The system ensures that the temperature inside the tire during manufacturing is within the desired range, leading to improved quality control.
- Performance optimization: By monitoring the temperature inside the tire during use, the system can help optimize tire performance and enhance durability.
- Early detection of issues: The system allows for early detection of potential problems such as overheating, enabling timely maintenance and preventing tire failures.
