Method and device for detecting a detached tire
First Claim
1. A device for detecting a detached tire of a vehicle, comprising:
- an arrangement for detecting rotational movements of wheels and generating a plurality of first quantities that are functions of the rotational movements that are detected;
a comparison arrangement in which at least one comparison involving the first quantities is performed;
an evaluation arrangement for providing a signal that is output as a function of an output of the at least one comparison; and
a sorting arrangement for performing, prior to the at least one comparison, a sorting operation in which at least two of the first quantities are sorted by value, wherein;
a detached tire is detected as a function of the signal output by the evaluation arrangement.

Abstract
Device for detecting a detached tire of a vehicle. This device includes an arrangement for detecting the rotational movements of the wheels and generating first quantities that are dependent on the rotational movements detected. A comparison arrangement is also provided in which at least one comparison involving at least one of the first quantities is carried out, as well as an evaluation arrangement in which a signal is output as a function of the output of the at least one comparison. The at least one comparison carried out in the comparison arrangement is preceded by a sorting operation in which at least two of the first quantities are sorted by value; and a detached tire is detected as a function of the signal output by the evaluation arrangement.
