Pressure Checking and/or Adjustment Method and Device for a Tire-Wheel Assembly

摘要

A method for simplifying the conventional pressure monitoring and/or adjustment method for a mounted assembly for a vehicle, in particular for a two-wheeled vehicle, and, more precisely, reducing the number of steps in the method, and a pressure monitoring and/or adjustment device for the use of this method. A mounted assembly has a tire, preferably tubeless, mounted on a rim and inflated to an initial pressure, the tire having an inner surface forming the wall of the tire cavity, in contact with the internal air, the wall of the tire cavity being at least partially covered with a self-sealing material. An inflation interface is introduced into the tire cavity by piercing a hole in the wall of the tire cavity in an area covered by the self-sealing material, the inflation interface is extracted from the tire cavity after inflation, and the pierced hole in the wall of the tire cavity is sealed spontaneously by the self-sealing material, after the extraction of the inflation interface.

1. A method for monitoring and/or adjusting the internal pressure of a mounted assembly for a vehicle, the mounted assembly having a tire mounted on a rim and inflated to an initial pressure, the tire having an inner surface forming a wall of a cavity of the tire, the wall of the cavity being in contact with internal air of the tire, the wall of the tire cavity being at least partially covered with a self-sealing material, the method comprising:
indirectly measuring the internal pressure without contact with internal air of the tire; comparing the measured internal pressure with a rated pressure for the tire; and if the indirectly measured internal pressure does not equal a rated pressure for the tire:
introducing an inflation interface into the tire cavity by piercing a hole in the wall of the tire cavity in an area covered by the self-sealing material,adjusting, by the inflation interface, the pressure of the tire to a final pressure at least equal to the rated pressure, andextracting the inflation interface from the tire cavity after the adjusting, wherein the pierced hole in the wall of the tire cavity is sealed spontaneously by the self-sealing material after the extraction of the inflation interface.
