Under the condition that the tire of the vehicle is punctured or air is not supplemented for a long time, the tire pressure of the tire is too low to cause the vehicle to be incapable of normally running, a user can only park the vehicle to repair the tire, replace a spare tire or wait for rescue, the process is complex and time is wasted, and the vehicle stops at the roadside and has certain potential safety hazards to passengers, so that if the vehicle can automatically supplement the tire and the air, the problems can be effectively solved.

Referring to fig. 1 to 3, an embodiment of the present invention provides a repairing device 100, wherein the repairing device 100 is installed in a wheel 1000 of a vehicle 2000. The prosthetic device 100 includes a cylinder 10 and a controller 20 connected to the cylinder 10. The controller 20 is used to acquire the tire pressure state of the tire 1001 of the wheel 1000, and to control the cylinder 10 to release the repair medium to repair the tire pressure of the tire 1001 in case of abnormality of the tire pressure of the tire 1001.

The repair device 100 is arranged in the wheel 1000, and can control the cylinder 10 to release the repair medium to repair the tire pressure of the tire 1001 in time by the controller 20 under the condition that the tire pressure of the tire 1001 is abnormal, so that the automatic repair of the tire 1001 by the repair device 100 is realized without any operation by personnel, the vehicle 2000 does not need to stop, the time of a user can be effectively saved, the abnormal condition of the tire 1001 can be repaired in time, the driving safety can be improved, and traffic accidents caused by too low tire pressure can be avoided.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, the repair device 100 is installed in the wheel 1000 of the vehicle 2000, which means that the repair device 100 is installed in the chamber formed by the tire 1001 and the rim 1002 of the wheel 1000, so that in the case of the tire pressure abnormality of the tire 1001, the repair device 100 can realize the repair of the tire pressure in the first time.

Of course, in other embodiments, the repair device 100 may also be installed on the hub, spoke or other position of the wheel 1000, and only the condition that the repair device 100 can acquire the tire pressure state of the tire 1001 and timely release the repair medium to repair the tire pressure of the tire 1001 is satisfied, and is not limited in particular.

The repair device 100 of the present embodiment may be used to repair a vacuum tire, i.e., a tubeless pneumatic tire.

Specifically, since the repairing device 100 is disposed in the chamber formed by the tire 1001 and the rim 1002, the cylinder 10 may be made of a high pressure resistant soft material, for example, the material of the cylinder 10 may be the same as that of the tire 1001, so that the cylinder 10 has high pressure resistance and elastic deformation capability equivalent to that of the tire 1001, and when the tire 1001 is greatly deformed due to too low tire pressure or rolling to a road edge, the cylinder 10 will not be cracked due to external pressure, thereby preventing the repairing medium from leaking out when the tire 1001 is abnormal, causing phenomena such as too high tire pressure of the tire 1001 and even tire burst, and playing a role in protecting the repairing device 100 and the tire 1001.

Referring to fig. 1, in some embodiments, the cylinder 10 includes a first cylinder 11 and a second cylinder 12, the first cylinder 11 is configured to contain a tire repair liquid, the second cylinder 12 is configured to contain compressed air, the repair medium includes a tire repair liquid and compressed air, and the controller 20 is configured to control the first cylinder 11 to release the tire repair liquid to repair the tire 1001 and the tire pressure of the tire 1001 when the tire pressure is less than a preset tire pressure, or control the second cylinder 12 to release the compressed air to repair the tire pressure of the tire 1001, or control the first cylinder 11 to release the tire repair liquid and control the second cylinder 12 to release the compressed air to repair the tire 1001 and the tire pressure of the tire 1001.

Thus, when the tire pressure of the tire 1001 is lower than the preset tire pressure, the controller 20 may control the first cylinder 11 to release the tire repair liquid or the second cylinder 12 to release the compressed air, so as to repair the tire pressure of the tire 1001 and the tire 1001, and the repair method is simple, direct, fast and effective, so that the tire pressure of the tire 1001 can be quickly restored to the normal state again, and the normal running of the vehicle 2000 is ensured.

It should be noted that the preset tire pressure may be determined according to parameters such as the weight of the vehicle 2000, the chassis height, the size of the tire 1001, and the like, and is not particularly limited herein.

Specifically, the tire repair liquid may be inflation tire repair liquid, and after the inflation tire repair liquid repairs the damaged tire 1001, the remaining tire repair liquid may be gasified to supplement the tire pressure of the tire 1001, so that the tire repair liquid released by the first cylinder 11 may play a role in repairing and supplementing the tire pressure to the tire 1001, thereby improving the efficiency of the repair device 100 in repairing the tire 1001.

The first cylinder 11 may be provided with a first switch 111, and the first switch 111 is used to control the release of the puncture repair liquid by opening and closing itself. The first switch member 111 may be connected to the controller 20, and the controller 20 may control the release of the puncture repair liquid by controlling the opening and closing of the first switch member 111.

The second cylinder 12 may be provided with a second switch member 121, and the second switch member 121 is used to control the release of the compressed air by opening and closing itself. The second switching member 121 may be connected to the controller 20, and the controller 20 may control the release of the compressed air by controlling the opening and closing of the first switching member 111.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the first and second switching pieces 111 and 121 may be solenoid valves. In the first cylinder 11, one end of the solenoid valve body passage communicates with the inside of the first cylinder 11, and the other end communicates with the outside of the repairing device 100, and the controller 20 controls the release of the tire repairing liquid by controlling the on/off of the solenoid valve body passage. In the second cylinder 12, one end of the solenoid valve body passage communicates with the inside of the second cylinder 12, and the other end communicates with the outside of the repair device 100, and the controller 20 controls the release of the compressed air by controlling the opening and closing of the solenoid valve body passage. Of course, in other embodiments, the first switch element 111 and the second switch element 121 may also be other elements that control the on/off of the fluid, and are not described herein for avoiding redundancy.

In some embodiments, the controller 20 is configured to control the first cylinder 11 to release the tire repair liquid when the tire pressure is less than the preset tire pressure and the rate of decrease in the tire pressure of the tire 1001 is greater than the preset rate, or to control the second cylinder 12 to release the compressed air when the tire pressure is less than the preset tire pressure and the rate of decrease in the tire pressure of the tire 1001 is less than or equal to the preset rate.

In this way, it can be determined whether the tire 1001 is in a state of being damaged to be repaired or in a state of having too low tire pressure due to slow leakage of air in the tire according to the rate of decrease of the tire pressure, so as to correspondingly control the first cylinder 11 to release the tire repair liquid or the second cylinder 12 to release the compressed air, so as to restore the tire pressure of the tire 1001 to a normal state.

It should be noted that the preset rate may be determined according to the weight of the vehicle 2000, the chassis height, the size of the tire 1001, and the like, and is not particularly limited herein.

Specifically, when the tire pressure of the tire 1001 decreases at a rate greater than a predetermined rate, after the first cylinder 11 releases the tire repair liquid, if the vehicle 2000 is running, the tire pressure of the tire 1001 is insufficient, and the vehicle needs to slow down, so that the tire repair liquid can be uniformly applied to the inner side of the tire 1001 to find out the damaged portion of the tire 1001 and repair the damaged portion.

More, in the case of a puncture of the tire 1001, the tire 1001 cannot be repaired by releasing the puncture repair liquid and the compressed air. Thus, a preset limit rate can be set, and the preset limit rate corresponds to the tire pressure decrease rate when the tire 1001 is punctured, so that the tire 1001 is determined to be punctured when the tire pressure decrease rate is greater than the preset limit rate, and the controller 20 does not control the first cylinder 11 to release the tire repair liquid or the second cylinder 12 to release the compressed air, so as to avoid waste of the tire repair liquid and the compressed air.

Referring to fig. 1 and 2, in some embodiments, the repairing device 100 includes a housing 30, and the first cylinder 11, the second cylinder 12 and the controller 20 are accommodated in the housing 30, and a bottom of the housing 30 is fixedly disposed to be attached to a bottom surface of a rim 1002 of the vehicle 2000.

In this way, the casing 30 can protect the first cylinder 11, the second cylinder 12, and the controller 20, and prevent the tire 1001 from being deformed and pressed against the first cylinder 11, the second cylinder 12, and the controller 20, thereby preventing damage to the repair apparatus 100, and improving the service life of the repair apparatus.

Specifically, the housing 30 may be made of a high pressure resistant soft material, for example, the material of the housing 30 may be the same as that of the tire 1001, so that the housing 30 has high pressure resistance and elastic deformation capability equivalent to that of the tire 1001, and thus the housing 30 can protect the first cylinder 11, the second cylinder 12 and the controller 20 when the tire 1001 is deformed.

Further, since the weight of the repair device 100 affects the balance of the entire wheel 1000 when the repair device is mounted on the rim, the wheel 1000 needs to be dynamically adjusted in balance after the repair device 1000 is mounted. For example, a balancing weight is added, or an installation position of the repairing device 1000 is reserved during rim production, and the balancing weight of the rim is adjusted, and then only the repairing device 1000 needs to be installed during installation of the wheel 1000.

Referring to fig. 2, in some embodiments, the repair device 100 includes a tire pressure sensor 40, and the tire pressure sensor 40 is configured to detect a tire pressure state.

As such, the controller 20 may acquire the tire pressure status information of the tire 1001 through the tire pressure sensor 40 to determine whether a repair medium needs to be released to repair the tire 1001.

Specifically, the tire pressure sensor 40 may be disposed in the tire 1001, but in order to facilitate the detachment and replacement of the tire pressure sensor 40, a mounting hole may be opened on the rim 1002 of the wheel 1000, the sensing end of the tire pressure sensor 40 is installed on the rim 1002 through the mounting hole, and then the gap between the tire pressure sensor 40 and the mounting hole is sealed, so that the tire pressure sensor 40 can accurately sense the tire pressure of the tire 1001.

The tire pressure sensor 40 may include, but is not limited to, a direct tire pressure sensor and an indirect tire pressure sensor. The direct tire pressure sensor is provided in the tire 1001, and acquires a tire pressure state by directly sensing the internal air pressure of the tire 1001. The indirect tire pressure sensor indirectly obtains the tire pressure state by sensing the rotation speed of the tire 1000, and the principle thereof is as follows: the smaller the tire pressure of the wheel 1001, the smaller the radius of the wheel 1000 thereof, and the greater the rotation speed, so the tire pressure state of the tire can be indirectly obtained by obtaining the rotation speed of the wheel 1000. In the embodiment of the present invention, the tire pressure sensor 40 is a direct tire pressure sensor.

In some embodiments, the tire pressure sensor 40 may be connected to the controller 20, the controller 20 obtains the tire pressure state sensed by the tire pressure sensor 40, and the controller 20 controls the first cylinder 11 to release the tire repair liquid or controls the second cylinder 12 to release the compressed air according to the tire pressure state to repair the tire 1001.

In some embodiments, the vehicle 2000 may include the processor 2001, and since the tire pressure sensor 40 is mounted on the wheel 1000, the tire pressure sensor 40 may establish a communication connection with the processor 2001 by a wireless communication manner to transmit the tire pressure status information to the processor 2001. The processor 2001 may also be connected to the controller 20 by wireless communication, and after the processor 2001 processes the tire pressure status information, the processor 2001 may transmit a corresponding control command to the controller 20, so that the controller 20 controls the cylinder 10 to release the repair medium according to the control command.

Referring to fig. 1 and 4, a method for controlling a repairing apparatus 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a cylinder 10, the cylinder 10 being used for accommodating a repairing medium, and the repairing method includes:

s10, acquiring a tire pressure state of the tire 1001 of the wheel 1000;

s20, in case of abnormal tire pressure of the tire 1001, the cylinder 10 is controlled to release the repair medium to repair the tire pressure of the tire 1001.

Thus, under the condition that the tire pressure of the tire 1001 is abnormal, the cylinder 10 is controlled to release the repair medium to repair the tire pressure of the tire 1001 in time, so that the automatic repair of the tire 1001 by the repair device 100 is realized, no operation is required, the vehicle 2000 does not need to stop, the time of a user can be effectively saved, the abnormality of the tire 1001 can be repaired in time to improve the driving safety, and traffic accidents caused by too low tire pressure can be avoided.

Referring to fig. 5, in some embodiments, step S20 includes:

s21, when the tire pressure is less than the preset tire pressure, the first cylinder 11 is controlled to release the tire repair liquid to repair the tire 1001 and the tire pressure of the tire 1001, or the second cylinder 12 is controlled to release the compressed air to repair the tire pressure of the tire 1001.

Therefore, when the tire pressure of the tire 1001 is lower than the preset tire pressure, the first cylinder 11 can be controlled to release tire repair liquid or the second cylinder 12 can be controlled to release compressed air so as to repair the tire pressure of the tire 1001 and the tire 1001, the repair mode is simple, direct, quick and effective, and the tire pressure of the tire 1001 can be quickly restored to a normal state again so as to ensure normal running of the vehicle 2000.

Referring to fig. 6, in some embodiments, step S21 includes:

s211, in case that the tire pressure is less than the preset tire pressure and the rate of decrease of the tire pressure of the tire 1001 is greater than the preset rate, the first cylinder 11 is controlled to release the puncture repair liquid.

In this way, it is determined that the tire 1001 is in a state where the damage is to be repaired according to the rate of decrease of the tire pressure, and the first cylinder 11 is controlled to release the tire repair liquid so as to restore the tire pressure of the tire 1001 to a normal state.

Referring to fig. 7, in some embodiments, step S21 includes:

s212, in the case where the tire pressure is less than the preset tire pressure and the rate of decrease in the tire pressure of the tire 1001 is less than or equal to the preset rate, the second cylinder 12 is controlled to release the compressed air.

In this way, it can be determined that the tire 1001 is in a state where the tire pressure is too low due to slow leakage of air in the tire according to the decrease rate of the tire pressure, so as to control the second cylinder 12 to release compressed air, so that the tire pressure of the tire 1001 is restored to a normal state.

Referring to fig. 3, a vehicle 2000 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a repairing apparatus 100 according to any one of the above embodiments.

In the vehicle 2000, the repairing device 100 is disposed in the wheel 1000, and the controller 20 controls the cylinder 10 to release the repairing medium to repair the tire pressure of the tire 1001 in time when the tire pressure of the tire 1001 is abnormal, so that the automatic repairing of the tire 1001 by the repairing device 100 is realized without any operation by a person, the vehicle 2000 does not need to stop, the time of a user can be effectively saved, the abnormal condition of the tire 1001 can be repaired in time, the driving safety can be improved, and traffic accidents caused by too low tire pressure can be avoided.

Specifically, the vehicle 2000 may further include a processor 2001, the processor 2001 being configured to acquire a tire pressure state sensed by the tire pressure sensor 40, and to generate a control command according to the tire pressure state, and to transmit the control command to the controller 20, so that the controller 20 controls the cylinder 10 to release the repair medium according to the control command.

During the process of generating the control instruction by the processor 2001 according to the tire pressure state, the processor 2001 may calculate whether the tire 1001 needs to be repaired by the repair device 100 according to the tire pressure state through a preset program, and if the tire pressure state indicates that the tire pressure of the tire 1001 is lower than the preset tire pressure, the processor 2001 determines that the tire 1001 needs to be repaired by the repair device 100. Further, the processor 2001 acquires the decrease rate of the tire pressure at preset intervals, compares the decrease rate of the tire pressure with the preset rate, and in the case that the decrease rate is greater than the preset rate, the processor 2001 determines that the tire 1001 is in a state where the damage is to be repaired, i.e., issues a control instruction to cause the controller 20 to control the first cylinder 11 to release the tire repair liquid to repair the tire 1001. In the case where the rate of decrease is less than or equal to the preset rate, the processor 2001 determines that the tire 1001 is only in a state where the tire pressure is too low, i.e., issues a control instruction to control the second cylinder 12 to release compressed air to supplement the tire pressure of the tire 1001.

More specifically, referring to fig. 8, the vehicle 2000 may further include a tire pressure signal receiver 2002, the tire pressure signal receiver 2002 being connected to the processor 2001, the tire pressure signal receiver 2002 being configured to establish a communication connection with the tire pressure sensor 40 and to receive the tire pressure state sensed by the tire pressure sensor 40 and transmit the tire pressure state to the processor 2001, so that the processor 2001 generates a control instruction according to the tire pressure state. The processor 2001 transmits a control command to the controller 20 of the repair apparatus 100, and the controller 20 controls the first switch member 111 to open and close by the connection with the first switch member 111 according to the control command to control the first cylinder 11 to release the tire repair liquid, or controls the second switch member 121 to open and close by the connection with the second switch member 121 to control the second cylinder 12 to release the compressed air, so as to repair the tire 1001.

It should be noted that the communication connection between the tire pressure sensor 40 and the tire pressure signal receiver 2002 may be wireless communication, and the communication connection between the controller 20 and the processor 2001 may also be wireless communication, for example, wireless communication connection means such as Wi-Fi, bluetooth, etc., and is not limited in particular.

In other embodiments, the controller 20 may also be directly connected to the tire pressure sensor 40, so that the controller 20 directly controls the cylinder 10 to release the repair medium according to the tire pressure state sensed by the tire pressure sensor 40.
