Abstract

The present application discloses a tire maintenance method and a tire maintenance kit. The tire maintenance method comprises: establishing a communication connection between a terminal device and a maintenance device connected to a tire; displaying an interactive interface suitable for a tire maintenance mode on the terminal device; controlling the maintenance device to perform a maintenance operation designated by the tire maintenance mode on the tire based on a user input; and generating at least one of operation results of the tire on the terminal device. The present application can achieve intelligent operation.

Claims (28)

1 . A tire maintenance method, comprising:

establishing a communication connection between a terminal device and a maintenance device connected to a tire;

displaying an interactive interface suitable for a tire maintenance mode on the terminal device;

controlling the maintenance device to perform a maintenance operation designated by the tire maintenance mode on the tire based on a user input; and

generating at least one of operation results of the tire on the terminal device,

wherein when the maintenance device performs the maintenance operation designated by the tire maintenance mode on the tire, at least one state that reflects the maintenance operation is calculated and information indicating the at least one state is fed back to the terminal device,

a tire inflation time is calculated based on tire specifications, tire initial pressure, preset tire target pressure, and operating power of the maintenance device, and the preset tire target pressure is automatically provided, or is provided through manual settings, and

the inflation time is obtained through the following formula:

the inflation time=tire volume×( a ×(tire target pressure) 3 +b ×(tire target pressure) 2 +c ×(tire target pressure))−tire volume×( d ×(tire initial pressure) 3 +e ×(tire initial pressure) 2 +f ×(tire initial pressure));

where, a, b, c, d, e, and f are parameters determined by the operating power of the maintenance device.

2 . The tire maintenance method according to claim 1 , wherein the step of calculating at least one state that reflects the maintenance operation includes at least one of inputting inherent information of the tire, an input from a user through the interactive interface, inputting the real-time status of the tire, and inputting inherent information of the maintenance device.

3 . The tire maintenance method according to claim 1 , wherein an air leakage rate is automatically calculated and a calculation result is displayed on the terminal device.

4 . The tire maintenance method according to claim 1 , wherein the tire maintenance mode at least includes a first tire maintenance mode and a second tire maintenance mode, where it is determined through the user input whether to display an interactive interface suitable for the first tire maintenance mode or an interactive interface suitable for the second tire maintenance mode on the terminal device.

5 . The tire maintenance method according to claim 4 , wherein the interactive interface suitable for the second tire maintenance mode displays electronic instructions and/or a preformulated interactive interface that guides the user to operate the maintenance device.

6 . The tire maintenance method according to claim 4 , wherein the first tire maintenance mode is an inflation mode, and the second tire maintenance mode is a repair mode.

7 . The tire maintenance method according to claim 6 , wherein a combination of an air compressor and a sealant bottle is controlled to perform tire repair in the repair mode, where the combination of the air compressor and the sealant bottle is connected to the tire.

8 . The tire maintenance method according to claim 4 , wherein displaying the interactive interface suitable for the second tire maintenance mode on the terminal device includes displaying an interactive interface same as the interactive interface suitable for the first tire maintenance mode.

9 . The tire maintenance method according to claim 8 , wherein instructions are displayed to the user on the terminal device to enable the user to use the tire and calculate air leakage rate after the tire is used.

10 . The tire maintenance method according to claim 1 , wherein before the step of displaying the interactive interface suitable for a tire maintenance mode on the terminal device, an interactive interface for setting vehicle information is displayed on the terminal device.

11 . The tire maintenance method according to claim 10 , wherein tire specifications, tire volume, and tire pressure standard values are queried on the interactive interface for setting vehicle information.

12 . The tire maintenance method according to claim 1 , wherein at least one of operation results of the tire is saved, and the at least one of operation results of the tire is displayed on the terminal device when the tire maintenance method is reimplemented.

13 . A non-transitory readable storage medium on which a computer program is stored, wherein when the computer program is executed by a processor, the tire maintenance method according to claim 1 is implemented.

14 . A terminal device comprising the non-transitory readable storage medium of claim 13 .

15 . A tire maintenance kit, comprising:

a maintenance device connected to a tire to be maintained; and

a terminal device comprising the non-transitory readable storage medium of claim 13 ,

wherein the terminal device is operated to remotely control the maintenance device to execute the tire maintenance method.

16 . The tire maintenance kit according to claim 15 , wherein the maintenance device is an air compressor for tire inflation, a bottle for providing sealant to the tire, or a combination of the air compressor and the bottle.
