摘要： A vehicle-tire pressure-level regulator has a pressure vent cooperable with an actuator for pressure release and a pump for pressure recovery. The actuator and the pump motor are respectively electronically controlled to adjust the tire pressure in relation to high and low thresholds above and below a desired operating pressure throughout a race. The pressure vent does not operate if an accelerometer detects that the tire is distorted because the vehicle is turning. If the vehicle is not turning and the high pressure threshold is reached, the vent is opened. If the low pressure threshold is reached the pump is activated until the tire is restored to the desired operating pressure. Operation of the vent may be controlled to provide different rates of outlet flow as real-time pressure may require. Operation of the vent may be prevented if a transient pressure spike occurs.

摘要： A vehicle-tire pressure-level regulator has a pressure vent cooperable with an actuator for pressureelease and a pump for pressure recovery. The actuator and the pump motor are respectively electronically controlled to adjust the tire pressure in relation to high and low thresholds above and below a desired operating pressure throughout a race. The pressure vent does not operate if an accelerometer detects that the tire is distorted because the vehicle is turning. If the vehicle is not turning and the high pressure threshold is reached, the vent is opened. If the to pressure threshold is reached the pump is activated until the tire is restored to the desired operating pressure. Operation of the vent may he controlled to provide different rates of outlet flow as real-time pressure may require. Operation of the vent may be prevented if a transient pressure spike occurs.

摘要： A quick disconnect pressure relief valve for a tire mounted on a rim includes a manually operated on/off valve mountable on the rim to provide a discrete pneumatic path between the tire interior and the outer atmosphere. The on/off valve is normally closed. A normally closed pressure operated valve insertable into the on/off valve opens the on/off valve to the passage of air through the inserted pressure operated valve to the exterior atmosphere. A plurality of such pressure operated valves calibrated to release air at different preselected tire pressure levels may be interchanged in the on/off valve. A latch is provided for securing the selected pressure operated valve in the manually operated on/off valve. Thus, to rapidly change the tire pressure level, the user need only insert a pressure operated valve calibrated to the desired tire pressure into the manually operated on/off valve. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, each pressure operated valve includes an adjustable bias by which the user can preset its particular pressure level. By using a plurality of such pressure operated valves with the manually operated on/off valve, the user can preset any number of pressure operated valves to provide a wide range of preselected pressure levels for the tire.

摘要翻译： 安装在轮辋上的轮胎的快速断开的泄压阀包括可安装在轮辋上的手动操作的开/关阀，以在轮胎内部和外部气氛之间提供离散的气动路径。 开/关阀常闭。 可插入开关阀的常闭压力操作阀打开/关闭阀，使空气通过插入的压力阀进入外部大气。 经校准以在不同预选轮胎压力水平释放空气的多个这种压力操作阀可以在开/关阀中互换。 提供了用于将所选择的压力操作的阀固定在手动开/关阀中的闩锁。 因此，为了快速地改变轮胎压力水平，使用者仅需要将经过校准的所需轮胎压力的压力操作阀插入到手动开/关阀中。 在本发明的优选实施例中，每个压力操作的阀包括可调节的偏压，用户可以通过该偏置来预设其特定的压力水平。 通过使用具有手动开/关阀的多个这样的压力操作阀，用户可以预设任何数量的压力操作阀，以为轮胎提供宽范围的预选压力水平。
