Abstract

This invention is related to an early warning system for car tires'"'"' temperature and pressure, wherein a processor for alarm receiving mounted in said early warning system is mainly connected to a car'"'"'s rear-view mirror, wherein said alarm information may be acknowledged by the driver through said glass mirror surface, wherein alarm detection information of a plurality of detecting functions, such as pressure detecting, temperature detecting, weak current detecting, may be simply and easily coupled to each tire rim of said car for basis of variations detected, and wherein data as information timely collected are sent to the processor for alarm receiving by way of wireless transmission in order to compare, and then after comparison may be shown on the rear-view mirror for the driver to see instantly when an alarm condition happens, and may function as alarm information, for achievement of the preferable invention with skilful design and availability.

Claims

1. A tire pressure warning system device comprising:

a rear-view mirror structure made of a front cover and a back cover both work with each other, a processor for alarm receiving installed therein;

an early warning system including said processor for alarm receiving and some transmitters for alarm and detection, wherein said processor for alarm receiving is provided in a rear-view mirror and said transmitters for alarm and detection are provided on a tire rim;

wherein data as information related to tire pressure and temperature is collected by each transmitter for alarm and detection and sent back to said processor for alarm receiving for judgment and analysis on said data received;

also, an alarm sounds beyond each default range, and said warning information may appear via said rear-view mirror and simultaneously sounds at the time of a situation reaching said alert function required.

2. The tire pressure warning system device of claim 1, wherein said front cover is embedded with a glass mirror surface processed with anti-glare and perspective techniques, and a state displaying device is installed at a back side of said glass mirror surface.

3. The tire pressure warning system device of claim 1, wherein said processor for alarm receiving is designed, as a circuit structure, with a wireless transmission data receiving module, a data analysis and storage module, an audible alarm issuing module, and an early warning information displaying module, these are the units in series connected together in order to receive collected detection data sent back by said transmitter for alarm and detection through wireless transmission and then to analyze, determine and save said data.

4. The tire pressure warning system device of claim 1, wherein said transmitter for alarm and detection is designed, as a circuit structure, with a tire pressure detection module, a tire temperature detection module, a low voltage detection module, and a wireless data transmission module, these are the units in series connected together.

5. The tire pressure warning system device of claim 1 or 4, wherein a 64-bit ID code is provided in said processor for alarm receiving, and said 64-bit ID code may optionally work with said processor for alarm receiving and may be controlled by programs of said processor for achievement of elastic correspondence and detection to said tires.

6. The tire pressure warning system device of claim 1 or 3, wherein said processor for alarm receiving may reserve various early warning values of irregular conditions for next determination of data.

7. The tire pressure warning system device of claim 1, wherein a system remote control setting host for remote control is additionally provided in said processor for alarm receiving to couple with a central door locking function.
