Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a tire pressure monitoring system adapted to an automobile having a first component and a changeable second component, said tire pressure monitoring system comprising: a register for transmitting the registered code of the said automobile via a wireless manner; a relay disposed in the second component for relaying a second tire information transmitted by tire pressure transmitter for each tire in the second component, wherein when the relay receives the registered code, it attaches the registered code to the second tire information and relays the second tire information; and a receiver disposed in the first component for receiving the second tire information relaid by the relay, wherein when the registered code included in the second tire information is consistent with the registered code of said automobile stored in the receiver, the receiver processes the second tire information as the tire information of the second component of said automobile. The present invention can achieve a registration when the trailer of the truck is changed via a simple and reliable manner.

Claims

1. A tire pressure monitoring system adapted to an automobile having a first component and a changeable second component, said tire pressure monitoring system comprising:

a register for transmitting the registered code of the said automobile via a wireless manner;

a relay disposed in the second component for relaying a second tire information transmitted by tire pressure transmitter for each tire in the second component, wherein when the relay receives the registered code, it relays the second tire information after attaching the registered code to the second tire information; and

a receiver disposed in the first component for receiving the second tire information relaid by the relay, wherein when the registered code included in the second tire information is consistent with the registered code of said automobile stored in the receiver, the receiver processes the second tire information as the tire information of the second component of said automobile.

2. The tire pressure monitoring system according to claim 1, wherein said first component is a head of the automobile, and said second component is a trailer of the automobile.

3. The tire pressure monitoring system according to claim 1, wherein said register is disposed in the first component and transmits said registered code periodically.

4. The tire pressure monitoring system according to claim 1, wherein said register is a separate device.

5. The tire pressure monitoring system according to claim 1, wherein said second tire information comprises a tire ID information and a tire pressure, and wherein the tire ID information corresponds to the ID information of the tire pressure transmitter in the second component.

6. The tire pressure monitoring system according to claim 5, wherein said relay comprises:

a code reading unit for reading the tire ID information of each tire in the second component, wherein the tire ID information is stored in an ID code information memory which is inserted into the code reading unit; and

a controller for processing the relaying of the second tire information, wherein the controller processes the second tire information when the tire ID information in the second tire information transmitted by the tire pressure transmitter is consistent with the tire ID information read by the code reading unit.

7. The tire pressure monitoring system according to claim 6, wherein said relay further comprises:

a standard pressure setting circuit for providing an interface to set a standard pressure value of each tire in the second component.

8. The tire pressure monitoring system according to claim 5, wherein said receiver refreshes the tire ID information according to the received second tire information.

9. The tire pressure monitoring system according to claim 1, wherein said receiver is further used to receive the first tire information transmitted by the tire pressure transmitter for each tire in the first component, wherein when the received tire ID information attached to the first tire information is consistent with the tire ID information stored in the receiver, the receiver processes the first tire information as the tire information of the first component of said automobile.

10. The tire pressure monitoring system according to claim 9, wherein said receiver comprises:

a code reading unit for reading the tire ID information of each tire in the first component, wherein the tire ID information is stored in an ID code information memory which is inserted into the code reading unit; and

a standard pressure setting circuit for providing an interface to set the standard pressure value of each tire in the first component.
