TIRE PRESSURE CONTROL SYSTEM AND COMPONENTS

摘要

A compressor unit (38) for supplying pressurized medium to a tire mounted on a vehicle wheel rim (34) is proposed, having a compressor (58) for exerting pressure on a fluid medium that is to be conveyed into the tire. The compressor unit (38) is dimensioned to be accommodated in a center bore (44) of the vehicle wheel rim (34) when the vehicle wheel rim (34) is in the mounted state on a wheel hub (62); and the compressor (58) can be driven by a drive unit (56) positioned in the vicinity of the center bore (44) of the vehicle wheel rim (34). A vehicle wheel rim (34) having a pressurized medium supply device (22) for a tire that is mounted on the vehicle wheel rim (34) is also proposed, as well as a vehicle having a vehicle wheel that includes such a vehicle wheel rim (34). A device for providing a vehicle wheel mounted energy supply is also proposed.
