Tire air pressure monitoring device

摘要

A tire pressure monitoring system controller is provided that comprises a rotational position calculation unit that detects a rotational position for each wheel when a wireless signal including a specific sensor ID has been transmitted; a wheel position determination unit that acquires the rotational position of each wheel a plurality of times and accumulates rotational position data for each wheel, and determines the wheel position corresponding to the rotational position data with the least degree of dispersion among all the rotation position data as the wheel position of a transmitter corresponding to the sensor ID; and a rotational position detection inhibition unit that inhibits the detection of the rotational position of each wheel by the rotational position calculation unit when braking control that controls a wheel cylinder pressure of the wheels is being executed.

1. A tire pneumatic pressure monitoring device comprising:
a tire pneumatic pressure sensor installed on a tire of each wheel to detect a tire pneumatic pressure acting on the tire; an acceleration sensor installed on the tire of each wheel to detect an acceleration in a prescribed direction acting on the tire; a transmitter arranged on each wheel to detect a rotational position of the wheel based on a detected value of the acceleration sensor for transmitting the pneumatic pressure along with identification information unique to each transmitter via a wireless signal; a receiver installed on a vehicle body to receive the wireless signal; a rotational position detection unit installed on the vehicle body to detect the rotational position of each wheel when a specific identification information has been transmitted; a wheel position determination unit that acquires the rotational position of each wheel a plurality of times to accumulate rotational position data for each wheel and determines a wheel position corresponding to the rotational position data with a least dispersion degree among the rotational position data as a wheel position of the transmitter corresponding to the specific identification information; and a detection inhibition unit that inhibits the accumulation of the rotational position data of each wheel by the wheel position determination unit when a braking control to control a wheel cylinder pressure of the wheel is being executed.
