Abstract

A tire inflation device capable of detecting and recording a tire pressure in real time is formed of a gas supply unit, a sensing unit, a control unit, and a communication unit. The gas supply unit is to inflate a tire with a gas. The sensing unit is mounted to the gas supply unit for detecting the tire pressures of the tires and then outputting sensing signals. The control unit is connected with the sensing unit for receiving the sensing signals and converting them into tire-pressure data. The communication unit is connected with the control unit for transmitting the tire-pressure data to a signal recording device.

Claims

1. A tire inflation device capable of detecting and recording a tire pressure in real time, comprising:

a gas supply device for inflating a tire with a gas;

a sensing unit mounted to the gas supply unit for detecting the tire pressure of the tire and outputting a sensing signal;

a control unit connected with the sensing unit for receiving the sensing signal and converting the sensing signal into tire-pressure data; and

a communication unit connected with the control unit for transmitting the tire-pressure data to a signal recording device.

2. The tire inflation device as defined in claim 1, wherein the gas supply unit comprises a main body, the main body having a display unit and an operable operating unit.

3. The tire inflation device as defined in claim 1, wherein the gas supply unit comprises a main body, the main body having an gas passage communicating with an intake tube and an outtake tube, the intake tube communicating with a compressed gas, the outtake tube being connected with the tire for transmitting the compressed gas into the tire correctly and quickly.

4. The tire inflation device as defined in claim 1, wherein the gas supply unit comprises a memory unit for saving multiple sets of the tire-pressure data for classifying different clients'"'"' tire-pressure data or for gathering statistics of different maintenances and repairs.

5. A tire-inflation method based on the tire inflation device defined in claim 1 comprising steps of:

a. making the gas supply unit charge a gas into the tire;

b. making the sensing unit detect the gas pressure in phase and in real time and displaying the tire-pressure data on a display unit or the signal recording device via the communication unit; and

c. making the signal recording device record and display the tire-pressure data.
