Pressure measuring and inflation/deflation control system for tires
First Claim
1. A pressure measuring and inflation/deflation control system for tires, comprising:
- a pressure sensor in fluid communication with the ambient pressure of the tire and capable of measuring this pressure;
a pressure variation detector capable of responding to a variation in pressure inside the cavity of the tire;
a management module, capable of receiving and processing informations provided by the pressure sensor on the one hand and on the other hand by the pressure variation detector and capable, on the basis of the information provided by the pressure variation detector, of actuating the shift from a so-called “
normal”
pressure measuring mode to a so-called “
accelerated”
measuring mode, or the shift from the “
accelerated”
mode to the “
normal”
mode.

Abstract
A pressure measuring and inflation/deflation control system for tires, comprising:
a pressure sensor,
a pressure variation detector capable on the one hand of responding in a safety time interval to a substantially significant and rapid variation in the pressure inside the cavity of the tire, and on the other hand of acting on another element cooperating with said detector;
a management module, capable of receiving and processing informations provided by the pressure sensor on the one hand and on the other hand by the pressure variation detector and capable, on the basis of the information provided by the pressure variation detector, of actuating the shift from a so-called “normal” pressure measuring mode to a so-called “accelerated” measuring mode, or the shift from the “accelerated” mode to the “normal” mode.

24. A method of measuring pressure and controlling inflation/deflation of tires, consisting in:
-
effecting measurements of the pressure of a tire using a pressure sensor in fluid communication with the ambient pressure of the tire and capable of measuring said pressure, said measurements being performed at time intervals corresponding either to a so-called “
normal”
measuring mode or a so-called “
accelerated”
measuring mode;
monitoring the tire pressure variations liable to occur using a pressure variation detector capable of responding to a pressure variation inside the cavity of the tire;
on the basis of the information provided by the pressure variation detector, actuating the shift from said so-called “
normal”
pressure measuring mode to said so-called “
accelerated”
measuring mode, or the shift from said “
accelerated”
mode to said “
normal”
mode. - View Dependent Claims (25, 26)
