Detailed Description

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are some, but not all, embodiments of the present application. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.

The tire pressure of the automobile tire is very important to the safety of the automobile and the driving economy, and the proper tire pressure can ensure the optimal ground gripping force of the automobile, improve the braking capacity of the automobile and reduce the braking distance. Too low tire pressure can greatly damage the service life of the tire, and too high tire pressure is easy to cause traffic accidents due to tire burst. The reasonable tire pressure can effectively reduce energy loss and improve the fuel economy of the automobile.

In the prior art, the alarm can be given only in a mode of monitoring the tire pressure when the tire pressure is too low or too high. The driver needs to stop the vehicle to inflate or exhaust the automobile tire and adjust the tire pressure. However, in some situations, for example, in a highway driving project, the tire pressure is too low, and the tire pressure needs to be adjusted only by driving to a safe area with the too low tire pressure, which is inconvenient due to labor consumption.

In addition, in the running process of the vehicle, the tire pressure monitoring always takes a fixed value as an alarm threshold value, and the tire pressure monitoring device cannot be suitable for different external conditions, such as rain and snow weather, mountain roads and the like.

In view of the above problems, the embodiments of the present application provide a method for adjusting tire pressure, which adjusts tire pressure of a vehicle during vehicle driving according to a weather state of the vehicle, a road surface condition, and a speed of the vehicle driving, so as to ensure that the vehicle drives with optimal tire pressure.

The method for regulating the tire pressure is applied to a system for regulating the tire pressure. The tire pressure regulating system includes: the system comprises a sensing system, a tire pressure monitoring system, a tire pressure controller, a tire pressure regulating device and a variable exhaust pressure limiting valve arranged on a tire of the vehicle.

Fig. 1 is a schematic structural view of a tire pressure regulating device according to an embodiment of the present application. An embodiment of the application provides a structure of adjusting tire pressure device, adjusts tire pressure device and installs on the wheel hub of vehicle, and the vehicle in-process of going adjusts tire pressure device and rotates along with the wheel hub. The reference number of the tire in fig. 1 is 6. As shown in fig. 1: the tire pressure regulating device comprises: the device comprises a tire inflation tube 1, a driving inflation mechanism 2 and a driving control mechanism 3.

The air outlet end of the tire inflation tube 1 is connected with the inner side of a tire of the vehicle through a one-way valve 11, and the air inlet end is connected with the driving inflation mechanism 2;

the check valve may refer to an air inlet capable of one-way ventilation only, and the ventilation direction of the check valve 11 is from the outside of the tire to the inside of the tire.

When the drive control mechanism 3 receives an inflation signal, the one-way valve 11 is opened, and the drive control mechanism 3 drives the driving inflation mechanism 2 to do work so as to inflate the tire through the tire inflation tube 1.

The check valve 11 is internally provided with an independent battery and a single chip microcomputer, and is communicated with the tire pressure controller through a Bluetooth signal, and when the tire pressure controller sends an inflation signal, the check valve 11 is opened.

The driving control mechanism 3 can comprise a driving motor and a telescopic rod, the telescopic rod can adopt a hydraulic telescopic rod, and the end part of the telescopic rod can be provided with a roller device. The drive control mechanism 3 may receive the inflation signal sent by the tire pressure Controller through a Controller Area Network (CAN) bus (CAN fd Controller Area Network with Flexible Data-Rate), or may receive the inflation signal sent by the tire pressure Controller through wireless communication.

When the drive control mechanism 3 receives the inflation signal, the telescopic rod of the drive control mechanism 3 extends out, and when the inflation is stopped, the telescopic rod of the drive control mechanism 3 is retracted.

When the drive control mechanism 3 receives the inflation signal, the telescopic rod is controlled to extend to contact the travelling crane inflation mechanism 2, so that the travelling crane inflation mechanism 2 does work.

In another embodiment of the present application, an inflator 4 is further disposed between the tire inflation tube 1 and the driving inflation mechanism 2. The compressed air stored in the inflator 4 is supplemented by the travelling crane inflation mechanism 2.

The inflation tank 4 is provided with a pressure limiting valve 41, an inflation valve 42 and a first air inlet 43; the inflation valve 42 is connected with the air inlet end of the tire inflation tube 1, and the first air inlet 43 is connected with the driving inflation mechanism 2;

independent batteries and a single chip microcomputer are arranged in the pressure limiting valve 41 and the inflation valve 42 and are communicated with the tire pressure controller through Bluetooth signals. The pressure limiting valve 41 and the inflation valve 42 are disposed inside the inflation tank 4, i.e., on the inner circumferential wall of the inflation tank 4.

When the driving control mechanism 3 receives an inflation signal, the inflation valve 42 and the one-way valve 11 are opened to input the gas stored in the inflation tank 4 into the tire through the tire inflation tube 1, and the driving control mechanism 3 drives the driving inflation mechanism 2 to do work to inflate the inflation tank 4 through the first air inlet 43;

when the driving control mechanism 3 receives an inflation signal, the inflation valve 42 and the check valve 11 receive the inflation signal at the same time, when the inflation valve 42 receives the inflation signal and the air storage tank meets the inflation air pressure, the inflation valve 42 is opened, when the check valve 11 receives the inflation signal and the air inlet on the outer side of the check valve 11 meets the inflation air pressure, the check valve 11 is opened, and the air in the inflation tank 4 enters the tire through the tire inflation tube 1.

When the pressure of the inflator 4 is too low and does not satisfy the inflation pressure, the inflation valve 42 is closed, and when the air inlet at the outer side of the check valve 11 does not satisfy the inflation pressure, the check valve 11 is closed, thereby preventing the tire from being leaked and over inflated.

When the pressure limiting valve 41 detects that the air pressure in the inflation tank 4 exceeds the safety air pressure, the pressure limiting valve 41 is opened to exhaust the inflation tank 4.

The pressure limiting valve 41 detects the pressure of the gas in the inflation tank 4 in real time and sends the pressure to the tire pressure controller, and when the pressure of the inflation tank 4 is too high to exceed the safe pressure, the pressure limiting valve 41 automatically opens to exhaust and reduce the pressure to the safe pressure.

An inflation tank 4 is arranged between the driving inflation mechanism 2 and the tire inflation tube 1, so that the gas supplemented by the driving inflation mechanism 2 can not directly enter the vehicle tire, and the excessive inflation of the tire under the limit condition is avoided. Compressed gas is stored in the inflation tank 4, when an inflation signal is received, the tire can be inflated in time, and the driving inflation mechanism 2 compresses to do work to continuously supplement the gas of the inflation tank 4.

In another embodiment of the present application, fig. 2 is a schematic structural diagram of a tire pressure regulating device and a tire in an embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 2: the inflation tank 4 is annular, is coaxially arranged on the hub and is matched with the hub in shape.

The travelling crane inflation mechanism 2 comprises a plurality of inflation cylinders 21, and the inflation cylinders 21 are arranged at equal intervals along the circumferential direction of the inflation tank 4 to form a circumferential structure coaxial with the inflation tank 4;

the travelling crane inflation mechanism 2 comprises a plurality of inflation cylinders 21, and the inflation cylinders 21 are arranged at equal intervals along the circumferential direction of the inflation tank 4 to form a circumferential structure coaxial with the inflation tank 4;

the driving control mechanism 3 can be fixed on safety tongs of a wheel hub and does not rotate along with the wheel hub, in the rotating process of the wheel, the inflation tank 4 and the inflation cylinders 21 arranged in the circumferential direction of the inflation tank 4 rotate along with the wheel hub, and the driving control mechanism 3 can act on each inflation cylinder 21 one by one to enable each inflation cylinder 21 to compress gas circularly to inflate the inflation tank 4. The cylinder push rods 217 of the plurality of inflation cylinders 21 are circularly pressed down and reset to complete the inflation of the inflation tank 4 along with the rotation of the wheels.

Because the adjacent inflation cylinders 21 are in the transition of the oblique angle of the jacking inclined surface 211, the pre-pressing jacking pin 212 is retracted without influencing the resetting of the rebound spring 213.

One end of each inflation cylinder 21 is respectively connected with the inflation tank 4, the other end of each inflation cylinder is provided with a jacking inclined surface 211, and the circumferential wall of each inflation cylinder is provided with a prepressing jacking pin 212; the top pressure inclined surface 211 is a smooth inclined surface, so that the friction and the abrasion with the roller can be reduced. The pre-pressing top pin 212 is of a spring fixed pin structure.

In the tire rotation process, the pre-pressing knock pins 212 of any two adjacent inflation cylinders 21 are in contact, so that the knock slopes 211 of the two adjacent inflation cylinders are connected to form a plane, and further, when the driving control mechanism 3 drives the travelling crane inflation mechanism 2 to do work, the driving control mechanism 3 makes a smooth transition on the knock slope 211, that is, when the roller of the telescopic rod of the driving control mechanism slides from the knock slope of one inflation cylinder to the knock slope of the other inflation cylinder, the roller does not slide through the gap between the two adjacent inflation cylinders.

The charge cylinder 21 further includes: rebound spring 213, second air inlet 214, third air inlet 215, cylinder block 216 and cylinder top rod 217.

When the pressure of the compressed air in the cylinder block 216 is higher than the pressure in the charging tank 4, the second air inlet 214 is opened, and the third air inlet 215 is closed; when the vehicle tire rotates, the top pressure inclined surface 211 leaves the top end of the telescopic rod of the driving control mechanism 3, the cylinder ejector rod 217 returns to the original position under the action of the rebound spring 213, at the moment, the second air inlet 214 is closed, the third air inlet 215 is opened, and air is supplemented to the cylinder body 216.

The second air inlet 214 communicates with the inside of the inflator 4, and the third air inlet 215 communicates with the outside air. The pre-pressing knock pin 212 is fixed on the cylinder top rod 217.

One end of the rebound spring 213 is connected with the bottom of the cylinder body 216 of the cylinder, the other end of the rebound spring 213 is connected with the cylinder top rod 217, and the cylinder top rod 217 is connected with the top pressure inclined plane 211;

the cylinder rod 217 is installed in the cylinder block 216 to compress air in the cylinder block 216 so that the air is introduced into the charge tank 4 through the second air inlet 214.

When the driving control mechanism 3 receives an inflation signal, the driving control mechanism 3 acts on the top pressure inclined surface 211, so that the cylinder top rod 217 compresses the gas in the cylinder body 216, and the inflation tank 4 is inflated through the second air inlet 214;

when the drive control mechanism 3 leaves the top pressure slope 211, the rebound spring 213 is reset to inflate the cylinder block 216 through the third intake port 215.

The variable exhaust pressure limiting valve 5 for adjusting the tire pressure system is arranged on the inner side of a vehicle tire, is internally provided with an independent battery and a single chip microcomputer, and is communicated with a tire pressure controller through a Bluetooth signal. The variable exhaust pressure limiting valve 5 can detect the air pressure in the tire in real time, and when the air pressure in the tire is greater than the highest safe pressure limiting value, the variable exhaust pressure limiting valve 5 is opened to exhaust the tire, so that the tire pressure is reduced to a safe range, and the risk of tire burst caused by excessive rise of the tire pressure in summer midday exposure is reduced.

the weather parameter may be an identification representing various weather conditions, such as A1-medium rain, A2-light rain, A3-medium snow, A4-heavy snow, and the like.

The first temperature signal is an air temperature outside the vehicle. The database can store a plurality of weather parameters, and luminous flux signals, road condition images and outdoor temperature values corresponding to the weather parameters in advance. The weather parameters in the database may be stored in the form of key value pairs, or in the form of a table, for example, < medium rain weather-luminous flux 59% -road condition image 1-outdoor temperature 16 >.

Generally, in rainy and snowy weather, the light transmittance of the windshield is low, and in sunny weather, the light transmittance of the windshield is high. The light flux signal of the rainfall light sensor is used as one of factors for determining weather parameters, so that the accuracy of identifying the weather of rain and snow can be improved, and the tire pressure obtained through calculation is ensured to be suitable for running on the road surface with accumulated rain and snow.

The recognition mode can use a neural network classification method to extract features of the road condition image and calculate possible road conditions (accumulated water, accumulated snow or dryness).

The external temperature sensor detects the external temperature of the vehicle in real time and optimizes the final weather parameters. For example, assuming that the temperature obtained by the temperature sensor outside the vehicle is 28 degrees, the real-time weather is unlikely to be snowing, and the final weather parameter may be other factors causing the road surface to be smooth, so that the accuracy of weather identification is improved.

The driving mode may refer to an economy mode or a sport mode selected by the user.

When the database does not have the road condition parameters corresponding to the road condition images, the current road condition parameters can be judged according to the driving mode, for example, when the driving mode is the motion mode, the current road condition parameters are rough roads such as cobblestone roads with small probability, and are asphalt roads with large probability.
