摘要： A first trigger unit and a second trigger unit output trigger signals to transceivers disposed for the four wheels of a vehicle. The first and second trigger units are attached to wall surfaces of tire housings corresponding to the left front and left rear wheels respectively. Each of the first and second trigger units is arranged in a position of the wall surface having an angle from 5 to 25 degrees with respect to the side of the corresponding wheel. Transceivers attached to a right front and right rear wheels are thus located farther from the trigger units than the left front and left rear wheels, respectively. Such arrangement allows the transceivers attached to the right front and right rear wheels to receive the outputted trigger signals with sufficient accuracy due to high field strength.

摘要： According to the invention, a wheel identifying apparatus includes a plurality of transmitters and a receiver. Each of the transmitters is mounted on one of wheels of a vehicle with a given distance from a rotation axis of the wheel. Each of the transmitters is configured to transmit a signal when an angular position thereof coincides with a predetermined angular position. The receiver includes a receiving antenna located at such a predetermined position on a body of the vehicle that all distances from the receiving antenna to the rotation axes of the wheels of the vehicle are different from each other. The receiver works to receive all the signals transmitted from the transmitters, detect the received signal levels of the signals, and identify, for each of the signals, the wheel on which the transmitter having transmitted the signal is located, based on the detected received signal level of the signal.

摘要： In a wheel identifying apparatus, first and second devices respectively transmit first and second trigger signals. The first device is mounted on the body of a vehicle closer to the front axle than the rear axle and closer to one of the front wheels than the other; it has the same height as the front axle and an orientation angle in a range of 0 to 90°. The second device is mounted on the vehicle body closer to the rear axle than the front axle and closer to one of the rear wheels than the other; it has the same height as the rear axle and an orientation angle in a range of 0 to 90°. Consequently, the first trigger signal can be reliably received by transceivers on the front wheels, and the second trigger signal can be reliably received by transceivers on the rear wheels.

摘要： Four transceivers are attached to respective wheels of a vehicle. A pair of triggering devices transmit respectively different types of trigger signal, respectively directed toward the front wheels and toward the rear wheels. One triggering device is located closer to one rear wheel than to the other, while the other triggering device is located closer to one front wheel than to the other. Based on the received trigger signal type, a transceiver judges itself to be attached to either a front or a rear wheel, and based on the received trigger signal strength, judges whether it is attached to a right-side or left-side wheel.

摘要： A tire location detecting apparatus for a vehicle with four wheels includes four rotation direction detecting devices, four transmitters, a triggering device, a receiver, and a controller. Each of the rotation direction detecting devices outputs a rotation direction signal which is then transmitted by an associated one of the transmitters. The triggering device triggers the transmitter on a first one of the four wheels to transmit an identification signal specific thereto. The receiver receives all of the signals transmitted from transmitters and provides those signals to the controller. The controller identifies the transmitter and tire on the first wheel based on the identification signal transmitted from the transmitter on the first wheel and determines, for each of the transmitters, whether the transmitter and the associated tire are located on one of the right-side wheels or one of the left-side wheels based on the rotation direction signal transmitted from the transmitter.

摘要： In a vehicle's wheel position detecting apparatus, plural transceivers respectively attached to the front and rear four wheels are provided. Each transceiver receives a triggering signal, calculates a reception intensity of the triggering signal, stores data indicating the reception intensity into a frame, and transmits the frame to a receiver attached to a vehicle's body. Each triggering signal radio-transmitted from the first and second triggering devices contains a startup command to starts up each transceiver and an execution command to allow each transceiver to calculate the reception intensity. The first and second triggering devices, which are responsible for radio-transmitting the triggering signal toward at least the front wheels and the rear wheels respectively, are positionally offset to either way in the body's lateral direction. A receiver receives the frames and uses the frames radio-transmitted from the transceivers to detect the wheels' positions using the reception intensity in each frame.

摘要： In a vehicle's wheel position detecting apparatus, a first triggering device, attached to the vehicle's body, outputs a triggering signal including information indicating that the triggering signal is for front wheels. A second trigging device, attached to the body, outputs a triggering signal including information indicating that the triggering signal is for rear wheels. The first and second triggering devices output the triggering signals simultaneously. A transceiver is attached to each of the front and rear four wheels. Each transceiver receives the triggering signal, calculates a reception intensity of the triggering signal, stores both the reception intensity data and the information into a frame, and transmits the frame. A receiver, attached to the body, receives the frame and processes the received frame to read out both the data and the information and use the read-out data and information to detect the positions of the wheels.

Each of the transceivers is located on one of a plurality of wheels of a vehicle and works to receive a trigger signal and transmit a response signal in response to receipt of the trigger signal. The triggering device is located on a body of the vehicle at different distances from the transceivers and works to transmit the trigger signal. The receiver works to receive the response signals transmitted by the transceivers. The wheel identifier is operatively connected to the receiver and works to identify, for each of the response signals received by the receiver, the wheel on which the transceiver having transmitted the response signal is located using the fact that strengths of the trigger signal at the transceivers are different from each other.
