Abstract

Provided is a tire information acquisition device. A sensor unit substrate on which a sensor for acquiring tire information and a power supply unit for supplying electric power to the sensor are disposed is provided, and a heat-insulating material is disposed at at least a periphery of the power supply unit.

Claims (13)

1. A tire information acquisition device, comprising

a sensor unit substrate on a same plane of which a sensor for acquiring tire information and a power supply unit for supplying electric power to the sensor are disposed;

a heat-insulating material being disposed at at least a periphery of the power supply unit; wherein

the power supply unit comprises an electret that generates electric power by changing a position of an electrode due to a rotational movement or a reciprocating movement.

2. The tire information acquisition device according to claim 1 , wherein the sensor is disposed outside the heat-insulating material.

3. The tire information acquisition device according to claim 2 , wherein a thermal conductivity of the heat-insulating material at 20° C. is 0.05 W/m·K or less.

4. The tire information acquisition device according to claim 3 , wherein the heat-insulating material is a composite body of an organic fiber and an inorganic porous material.

5. The tire information acquisition device according to claim 4 , wherein the heat-insulating material comprises a structure in which silica aerogel is dispersed in polyester fiber.

6. The tire information acquisition device according to claim 1 , wherein a thermal conductivity of the heat-insulating material at 20° C. is 0.05 W/m·K or less.

7. The tire information acquisition device according to claim 1 , wherein the heat-insulating material is a composite body of an organic fiber and an inorganic porous material.

8. The tire information acquisition device according to claim 1 , wherein the heat-insulating material comprises a structure in which silica aerogel is dispersed in polyester fiber.

9. The tire information acquisition device according to claim 1 , wherein the sensor is a pressure sensor, acceleration sensor or magnetic sensor.

10. The tire information acquisition device according to claim 1 , further comprising a housing having two parts which fit together to enclose the sensor, the sensor unit substrate and the power supply unit, the housing being formed from a resin material.
