Installation for measuring pressure of at least one aeroplane wheel tyre
First Claim
1. Installation (12) for measuring the pressure of at least one tyre of a wheel (16, 24) of an aeroplane (10), comprising:
- at least one pressure measuring sensor (26) associated with a tyre;
a unit (30) operating on the pressure measurement, provided in the aeroplane (10); and
radio-frequency transmission means comprising on the one hand, for the or each sensor, a revolving antenna (28) borne by the wheel (16, 24) and connected to each measuring sensor (26) and, on the other hand, a fixed antenna (34;
134) connected by a conductive cable (32) to the unit (30) operating on the pressure measurement, characterized in that the fixed antenna (34;
134) is adapted to be carried by the structure of the aeroplane at a spacing from the or each wheel (16, 24) at least in an upper part of the shock strut (18, 20;
122) of a landing gear element (14, 20) carrying the wheel.

Abstract
The invention concerns and installation (12) for measuring the pressure of at least one tyre of a wheel (16, 24) of an aeroplane (10) comprising: at least a pressure measuring sensor (26) associated with a tyre; a unit (30) operating on the pressure measurement provided in the aeroplane (10); and radio-frequency transmission means including for the or each sensor, a revolving antenna (28) borne by the wheel (16, 24) and connected to each measuring sensor (26) and to a fixed antenna (34; 134) connected by a conductive cable (32) to the unit operating (30) on the pressure measurement. The fixed antenna (34; 134) is adapted to be borne by the aeroplane structure away from the or each wheel (16, 24) at least in an upper part of the shock strut (18, 20, 22) of the landing gear (14, 20) bearing the wheel.
