Installation structure of electronic component for tire
View Patent ↗An installation structure of an electronic component for a tire, where the installation structure protects the electronic component from heat produced by a tire and a braking device and enables accurate information about the inside of the tire to be obtained without being affected by the heat sources. In the installation structure, an electronic component housed in a case is installed at an arbitrary installation in the air chamber of a tire and a heat-insulating structure is interposed between the electronic components and the installation position.
1. An installation structure of an electronic component for a tire, comprising
a case installed at an arbitrary installation position in an air chamber of the tire, the case housing the electronic component,
a pedestal including a base plate part which comes into contact with the installation position, and supporting parts which support the case;
the base plate part of the pedestal being attached to the installation position;
the case being fixed to the supporting parts of the pedestal;
a heat-insulating structure interposed between the case and the base plate part of the pedestal,
a patch which can be bonded to the installation position integral with the pedestal,
through holes in the patch at positions corresponding to the supporting parts of the pedestal, the pedestal being aligned by the catch while inserting the supporting parts into the through holes, and
holes formed in at least some of the supporting parts of the pedestal for allowing binding bands to be inserted into the holes and wound around the case.
2. The installation structure of an electronic component for a tire according to any of claim 1 , wherein a heat-insulating space is interposed as the heat-insulating structure.
3. The installation structure of an electronic component for a tire according to any of claim 1 , wherein a heat-insulating material is interposed as the heat-insulating structure.
4. The installation structure of an electronic component for a tire according to claim 3 , wherein the heat-insulating material is formed of any of resin foam, organic fibers and inorganic fibers.
5. The installation structure of an electronic component for a tire according to claim 1 , wherein the pedestal is formed of resin of which continuous duty is allowed at temperatures of no less than 80° C.
