  • the wheel arch transceivers 4 are arranged on the inside of the fender. If this is not possible, e.g. B. in off-road motorcycles (enduro) due to the large distance between the fenders to the tires, which would make the transmission path between the wheel arch transceiver 4 and transponder 1 too large, the wheel arch transceiver 4 can also at other suitable locations, for example on the immersion or stanchions be arranged.

  • the transmission frequency of the wheel arch transceiver 4 must be designed so that even when the vehicle is traveling fast enough energy can be transmitted in the short transmission range A from the wheel arch transceiver 4 to the transponder 1 so that the transponder 1 can transmit tire information. There is also the possibility for the transponder 1 to collect sufficient energy over several wheel revolutions (temporary storage) and to send the data at the appropriate time only when there is sufficient energy. Furthermore, the frequencies used should correspond to the country-specific regulations on the freely usable frequency ranges. Suitable frequencies are, for example, in the HF or MF range, for the transmission frequency of the wheel arch transceiver 4 z. B.
  • Previous transponder-receiver systems are usually only designed for short transmission distances (approx. 30 cm distance between transponder and receiver). By separating the receiving device into a control device 6 or a central box 10 and a plurality of wheel arch transceivers 4, this small transmission distance can be increased to a few meters by the tire pressure monitoring system according to the invention.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un dispositif pour surveiller la pression des pneus d'un véhicule, ce dispositif comportant au moins un appareil de commande (6) et/ou au moins un boîtier central (10), lesquels sont reliés par des conduits de capteurs de vitesse de roues et par des conduits de commande (5) ou bien par des conduits de capteurs de vitesse de roues (11) et par des conduits de direction (13) à des émetteurs-récepteurs (4) montés dans la zone des passages de roues. Ces émetteurs-récepteurs servent à la transmission sans fil de l'information dans une ou deux directions et à la transmission d'énergie avec un transpondeur (1) disposé dans une roue ou un pneu à proximité du passage de roue.
