Abstract

A terminal encapsulated tire monitoring device electrically connectable with at least one contact of a read-write tool is disclosed to include a housing, a sensor unit mounted in the housing and consisting of a circuit board and a plurality of terminal connection portions, a plurality of conducting terminals partially embedded in the housing each having a first contact end electrically connectable by one contact of the read-write tool and a second contact end electrically connected to one terminal connection portion of the sensor unit.

Claims (13)

1. A terminal encapsulated tire monitoring device electrically connectable with at least one contact of a read-write tool, comprising:

a housing;

a sensor unit mounted in said housing, said sensor unit comprising a circuit board and a plurality of terminal connection portions;

a plurality of conducting terminals partially embedded in said housing, each said conducting terminal having a first contact end electrically connectable by one contact of said read-write tool and a second contact end electrically connected to one said terminal connection portion of said sensor unit.

2. The terminal encapsulated tire monitoring device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said housing comprises a first shell member and a second shell member; said conducting terminals are embedded in said first shell member.

3. The terminal encapsulated tire monitoring device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said housing comprises a first shell member and a second shell member; said conducting terminals are embedded in said second shell member.

4. The terminal encapsulated tire monitoring device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said conducting terminals are embedded in at least one of a top wall, a peripheral wall, a corner edge and a bottom wall of said housing.

5. The terminal encapsulated tire monitoring device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said conducting terminals are arranged in a row.

6. The terminal encapsulated tire monitoring device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said conducting terminals are arranged in multiple rows.

7. The terminal encapsulated tire monitoring device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said conducting terminals are arranged in said housing to show a pattern like a loop or ring.

8. The terminal encapsulated tire monitoring device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said conducting terminals are configured into one of U-shape, rod shape and L-shape.

9. The terminal encapsulated tire monitoring device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said conducting terminals are embedded in said housing by means of one of the techniques of injection molding and welding.

10. The terminal encapsulated tire monitoring device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein each said conducting terminal has a rough surface embedded in said housing.
