Tire pressure control system

摘要

A tire pressure control system includes a tire mounted on a wheel that is connected to an axle, with pneumatic fittings communicating with an interior of this tire. A digital pressure switch has a pair of pneumatic lines that extend from it. These pneumatic lines connect to the pneumatic fittings so that the digital pressure switch communicates with the tire. An electronic solenoid valve communicates with the digital pressure switch by electrical connection to communicate with the interior of the tire. The electronic solenoid valve operates in a corresponding relationship to the interior of the tire so gas above a set pressure can pass to atmosphere. A battery assembly powers and activates the digital pressure switch, and further powers the electronic solenoid valve through the digital pressure switch. A housing houses the digital pressure switch, the electronic solenoid valve, and the battery assembly.

主权项

1. In combination, a vehicle and a tire pressure control system for the vehicle, comprising:
an axle; a tire mounted on a wheel, the wheel rotatably connected to the axle; a pair of pneumatic fittings in fluid communication with an interior of the tire; a selectively adjustable digital pressure switch; an electronic solenoid valve, the electronic solenoid valve in electrical communication with the selectively adjustable digital pressure switch by electrical connection so that the electronic solenoid valve is in fluid communication with the interior of the tire, wherein the electronic solenoid valve is selectively operated by the selectively adjustable digital pressure switch in corresponding relation to the interior of the tire to enable gas above a set pressure to pass to atmosphere; a pair of pneumatic lines, the pneumatic lines extending respectively from the selectively adjustable digital pressure switch and the electronic solenoid valve, the pair of pneumatic lines being removably connected to their respective pneumatic fittings such that the selectively adjustable digital pressure switch communicates with the tire; a battery assembly, the battery in communication with the selectively adjustable digital pressure switch to power the selectively adjustable digital pressure switch and the solenoid valve through the selectively adjustable digital pressure switch, wherein the battery assembly distributes electrical charges to activate the selectively adjustable digital pressure switch to selectively operate the electronic solenoid valve; and a housing, the housing being removably secured within the axle, wherein the selectively adjustable digital pressure switch, the electronic solenoid valve, and the battery assembly are housed within the housing.
