摘要： A constant pressure vehicle tire inflation system includes an air supply source. A first wheel valve is in fluid communication with a first tire of the vehicle, and a second wheel valve is in fluid communication with a second tire of the vehicle. A pneumatic conduit extends between and is in fluid communication with the air supply source and the wheel valves. At least a portion of the pneumatic conduit remains charged with air from at least one of the supply source and the tires. The system includes means for distributing air flow between the pneumatic conduit and the first and second wheel valves, in which the wheel valves and the means selectively maintain fluid communication between the first and second tires and the pneumatic conduit to provide pneumatic balancing between the tires, and the wheel valves provide emergency protection when a tire experiences significant pressure loss.

摘要： A tyre pressure monitor for the paired wheels at one end of a vehicle axle in the form of a hub which bolts to the wheel using the wheel nuts. The hub contains a tyre pressure gauge for the inner wheel and a gauge for the outer wheel. Air tubes connect each tyre to the gauge and an exterior air input coupling for each tyre projects from the hub in order to be accessible to the depot air hose. The driver reads the gauge and adjusts the tyre pressure using the air input coupling when necessary. Versions with a single gauge with a separate scale for each tyre of the pair and with one gauge for a single front wheel are described.

摘要： A vehicle monitoring system which may easily identify information transmitted from each of detecting devices without registration of identification information of the detecting devices and a transponder thereof are provided. A display is disposed in a distal end of the transponders all connected in series through a cable. Each of the detecting devices detects conditions in a predetermined portion of a vehicle and transmits vehicle information including measurement results, its own identification information and the number of transmissions. Each of the transponders determines whether the vehicle information transmitted from the detecting devices is received or not based on the identification information of the detecting devices registered in advance, and transmits the vehicle information to the transponder connected to the transmitting side or the display, when it determines that the vehicle information is to be received. Also, the each transponder receives the vehicle information transmitted from the transponder connected to the receiving side, updating the number of transmissions included in the vehicle information and transmits the vehicle information to the transponder connected to the transmitting side or the display.

摘要： The invention relates to a method of positioning sensors on wheels (200 and 300) installed coaxial to the same end of one and the same axle of a vehicle (C) comprising a receiving module (100) associated with the body of the vehicle, noteworthy in that it consists in positioning the sensors (210 and 310) at an angular interval greater than or equal to ninety (90) degrees of a wheel (200) relative to the other (300) so that, when operating in displacement mode, the distance between the receiving module and the sensor varies according to the wheel rotation, and in using a link of low frequency (LF) type so that the creation of a distance between the points of emission makes it possible to vary the power of the signals received, thus rendering them distinct. The invention also relates to a device making it possible to implement the method described hereinabove. Applications: measurement and transmission of data associated with the wheels of a vehicle.

摘要： A method and device for locating each of the wheels of a pair of twinned wheels mounted on a vehicle. Each twinned wheel is equipped with an electromagnetic receiving antenna, and these two twinned wheels are provided with elements of relative blocking rotation-wise designed to make it possible to obtain an offset by a predetermined angle (α), such that (α) is different from 0° and 180°, between the receiving antennas with which the two twinned wheels are equipped. The vehicle is equipped with a fixed source of emission of an electromagnetic signal suitable for covering an area passed through by the receiving antennas, and the electromagnetic field received by each of the receiving antennas is measured, so as to deduce, from the analysis of the time offset between the variations of the two measured electromagnetic fields, the location of each of the twinned wheels.
