The fire extinguishing system includes: a fire detection sensor configured to detect the fire in the tire of the vehicle; a fire control unit configured to receive a signal output from the fire detection sensor and to output a control signal for spraying fire extinguishing agent when the fire control unit determines a fire occurrence; and a plurality of fire extinguishing agent sprayers configured to spray the fire extinguishing agent toward the tire having the fire according to the control signal output by the fire control unit, in a state of being filled with the fire extinguishing agent therein.

A device for measuring and/or monitoring tire-related variables of a vehicle, having a sensor unit for transmitting, receiving and processing signals, wherein a transmission signal is emitted by an antenna unit of the sensor unit in the direction of an object being measured and wherein a reflection signal reflected by the object being measured is received and analysed, the sensor unit having a transceiver device, via by means of which a reflection factor, formed as the quotient from the reflection signal reflected by the object being measured and the transmission signal, is measured and via which a resonance frequency and/or a phase difference between the transmission signal and the reflection signal is determined, wherein the transceiver unit comprises a vector network analyser and an analysis unit, so that a distance to the object being measured is established by detecting the phase difference between the transmission signal and the reflection signal.

The present invention discloses a tire pressure sensor identification method, a related apparatus and system. A tire pressure sensor identification apparatus in the present invention includes a storage module configured to store identity information of a tire pressure sensor, a communications module configured to communicate with an electronic control unit (ECU) of a vehicle, a processing module and a radio frequency transmission module configured to output identity information. The tire pressure sensor identification apparatus may output the stored identity information to a corresponding vehicle, so that the vehicle can still identify the tire pressure sensor even if the tire pressure sensor is not in an activated state. It is convenient for a user to perform a uniform identification operation after uniformly collecting the identity information, thereby improving identification efficiency of the tire pressure sensor. A tire pressure sensor identification system and a corresponding tire pressure sensor identification method adopting the tire pressure sensor identification apparatus also have a same technical effect.

A tire pressure monitor includes a printed circuit board (PCB) and a sealed pressure chamber mounted to the PCB. The tire pressure monitor also includes a piston mounted adjacent to the sealed pressure chamber. The piston is configured to contact the sealed pressure chamber in response to an applied pressure. The tire pressure monitor also includes a liquid within the sealed pressure chamber. Translation of the piston causes the liquid to apply pressure to a pressure sensor. The pressure sensor is mounted within the sealed pressure chamber, and is configured to detect the applied pressure.

A tire condition detecting apparatus includes a transmitting section, a receiving section, a control section, a property detecting section, and a battery, which is a power source for the apparatus. The control section operates in a control mode that is selected from a normal mode and a power saving mode. In the power saving mode, power consumption associated with reception of the wirelessly transmitted signal from the external device is less than that in the normal mode. When the amount of change in the electrical property of a valve stem detected by the property detecting section exceeds a reference change amount, the control section switches the control mode to the normal mode. The control section also switches the control mode to the power saving mode when a termination condition is met in the normal mode

A method for monitoring a tire condition includes the following steps: sense a rotational speed of a tire of a moving vehicle; when the sensed rotational speed reaches a predetermined rotational speed range, obtain a condition of the rotating tire through at least one sensor to generate a piece of first condition data; compare the first condition data with a plurality of pieces of pavement feature data to obtain the corresponding one; process with the obtained piece of pavement feature data and the first condition data to filter a pavement feature out of the first condition data, generating a piece of second condition data; determine whether the condition of the tire is abnormal based on the second condition data; and send out a warning message when the condition of the tire is determined as abnormal Whereby, the road security is improved.

This application relates to a tire sensor configuring device and a smart tire system including the same. In one aspect, the tire sensor configuring device includes a transceiver receiving a communication module identification code of a communication module provided in a vehicle to communicate with a smart tire management server, tire identification codes of a plurality of tires mounted to the vehicle, and sensor identification codes of sensor modules respectively attached to the plurality of tires.
