A tire pressure detector with protection shell is applied to a wheel. The wheel has a rim having an air tap and a tire mounted around the rim, with an air pressure space formed between the tire and the rim. The tire pressure detector includes a shell and a detector body. The shell is movably disposed in the air pressure space, and the detector body is disposed in a housing space of the shell. The detector body is includes a detection module for detecting the air pressure in the air pressure space, generating a pressure signal, and wirelessly transmitting the pressure signal. Therefore, by improving the structural strength of the tire pressure detector with the shell, the tire pressure detector is conveniently installed without the need of other additional tools.

A tire pressure control system can include a pneumatic line with a first end in fluid communication with an interior of a tire and a pressure sensing device configured to acquire pressure data within the tire measured from the single pneumatic line. A motion sensing device can be configured to acquire motion data of the tire pressure control system. A microcontroller can receive the pressure data from the pressure sensing device and the motion data from the motion sensing device. A pneumatic solenoid in fluid communication with a second end of the single pneumatic line can be in an initial, closed position. The microcontroller can open the pneumatic solenoid and release fluid from the interior of the tire when the pressure data and motion data meet preset conditions.

Apparatus and method for manufacturing an air maintenance tire includes an air pumping tube assembly station constructing an air pumping tube sub-assembly, a tire preparation station for forming passageways in the tire to accept an outlet device of the air pumping tube sub-assembly, an air pumping tube sub-assembly installation station and a pressure regulator installation station. The air pumping tube sub-assembly inserts into an elongate tire groove opening, facilitated by groove-spreading apparatus.

A tire monitor for mounting on a wheel rim, the tire monitor comprising a housing having a first part (644A) configured to receive a component substrate (645) and a second part (644B) configured to receive one or more other components of the tire monitor, for example a battery. The first and second parts of the housing are non-coplanar and non-parallel with one another. When the tire monitor is mounted on the wheel rim, the substrate is non-coplanar and non-parallel with a plane (T) that is tangential to the wheel rim at the location where the tire monitor is mounted on the rim and preferably the substrate plane is substantially radial with respect to the wheel rim.

An electronic unit includes an electronic box (1) and a snap-in inflation valve (2) made up of a shaft (5) and of an abutment head (6) which are separated by a neck (7) in the shape of an annular groove. The electronic box (1) and the inflation valve (2) are rigidly connected by element, firstly, of an annular piece (22) housed in the neck (7) of the valve body (3), which piece is continued by at least one arm (23) for connecting the annular piece with the electronic box (1), extending externally along the abutment head (6) and in a continuation of the latter, and, secondly, of members (27) for fixing the connecting arm (23) on the electronic box (1).

A movable tire inflation apparatus includes an inflation device and a fixing structure. The inflation device includes a casing defining an accommodation room. The accommodation room is equipped with an inflation component, and an electrical control module which is connected electronically to the inflation component. At least one magnetic positioning member is disposed at one side of the casing. The fixing structure is disposed at an outer side of the inflation device in such a manner to fix the inflation device on an outer side of a wheel and the magnetic positioning member is magnetically positioned at one side of the wheel. In this way, the movable tire inflation apparatus is fixed on the outer side of the wheel and connected to the wheel by the inflation device, to inflate a tire as the wheel is moving, providing advantages in easy carriage, repair convenience and safety improvement.

A tire pressure control system for a vehicle for determining tire-specific parameters, includes a valve body with a mounting portion, at least one mounting element and a tire pressure sensor with a housing, which has a mounting area. The mounting portion is detachably engaged via a mounting element with the mounting area of the housing.
