Abstract

A tire state detection device that includes: a temperature sensor that detects a temperature in a tire air chamber; an acceleration sensor that detects acceleration associated with rotation of a tire; a pressure sensor that detects pressure in the tire air chamber; a storage unit that stores a plurality of maps for calculating a fatigue state of the tire on the basis of the detected temperature, the detected acceleration and the detected pressure; and a tire fatigue index calculation unit that calculates, by referring to each of the plurality of maps, a tire fatigue index from the detected acceleration, the detected temperature, and the detected pressure.

Claims (24)

1. A tire state detection device comprising:

a temperature sensor that detects a temperature in an air chamber of a tire;

an acceleration sensor that detects acceleration associated with rotation of the tire;

a pressure sensor that detects pressure in the air chamber of the tire;

a storage means that stores a plurality of maps for calculating a fatigue state of the tire on the basis of the detected temperature, the detected acceleration and the detected pressure;

a tire fatigue index calculation means that calculates, by referring to each of the plurality of maps, a tire fatigue index from the detected acceleration, the detected temperature and the detected pressure; and

a tire use index calculation means that calculates a tire use amount on the basis of the tire fatigue index.

2. A tire state detection device comprising:

3. The tire state detection device according to claim 2 , wherein the at least one processor is configured to calculate a tire use amount on the basis of the tire fatigue index.

4. A tire state detection device comprising:

a temperature sensor that detects a temperature in an air chamber of a tire;

an acceleration sensor that detects acceleration associated with rotation of the tire;

a pressure sensor that detects pressure in the air chamber of the tire;

a thermal fatigue index calculation means that calculates a thermal fatigue index due to heat of the tire on the basis of a history of the detected temperature;

a load fatigue index calculation means that calculates a load fatigue index due to a load on the tire on the basis of histories of the detected acceleration and the detected pressure;

a tire fatigue index calculation means that calculates a tire fatigue index on the basis of the thermal fatigue index and the load fatigue index; and

a tire use index calculation means that calculates a tire use amount on the basis of the tire fatigue index.
