Abstract: A device for automatic tire inflation and tire pressure display has a tire pressure measurement unit, a tire temperature sensor (a thermometer) and a gradienter for measuring the tire balance. The tire pressure measurement unit has a tire pressure measurement unit, a voltage regulating circuit of power source, a microprocessor control unit, a wireless transceiving module and an inflation/deflation control component. The tire pressure measurement unit measures the tire pressure value of a tested tire. The tire pressure value is then wirelessly displayed on a display unit in a vehicle so that the user can know the present status of a tire. The user can also maneuver a function key to select an operation according to the displayed data and send this message to the tire room to execute inflation or deflation of the tire.

Abstract: This invention relates to a method and apparatus for maintaining equal air pressure in a pair of tires on a work machine. The invention provides a valve body with a pair of piston chambers. A piston is reciprocatably positioned within each piston chamber, the pistons are biased toward a first closed end of the piston chambers. The closed end of each piston chamber is connected by a passageway to one of the tires. Each piston chamber is additionally fluidly connected to the other piston chamber. When the air pressure in each tire is above a predetermined amount the pistons are moved away from the closed end of the piston chamber and airflow is permitted between the piston chambers thereby balancing the tire pressures. If the pressure in either tire is below the predetermined minimum, the piston in that respective piston chamber moves toward the first end to block, airflow between the piston chambers.

Abstract: A tire filter assembly (15, 400) for a central tire inflation system (10) having fluid communication (403) from the exterior to the interior of the pressurized chamber (74) of an inflatable tire (12). The assembly includes filter means (15) mounted to a cylindrical sleeve-type bead lock (400) inside the interior pressurized tire chamber (74). The location of the filter inside the tire permits it to have a relatively large area through which air can flow, and to prevent rubber particles that come off the inside of the tire from entering the central inflation system. The filter assembly is affixed by means of an adhesive (11) or a molding material to a groove (17) provided in the bead lock, and/or by mechanical means.
