Tire Deformation Sensor and Tire Inflation System

摘要

A tire deformation sensing and tire inflation system for a steel belted tires which makes use of magnetic coils embedded in the wheel assembly to detect the position of the tire's steel belting and uses the information obtained to adjust the tire pressure through a central tire inflation system.

1. A tire deformation sensing and tire inflation system for a steel belted tire comprising:
a. At least one magnetic sensing coil embedded in the wheel assembly; b. a counterweight embedded in the wheel assembly on the opposite side from said magnetic coils; c. a power source for said magnetic coils; d. a central tire inflation system deployed in the tire; e. a data acquisition system to collect voltage signals from said magnetic sensing coils; f. software code to analyze collected data from data acquisition system; g. a central tire inflation system to adjust tire pressure based on instructions from said software code.
