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.

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.

A batteryless tire inflation pressure detecting apparatus includes, on the body of a vehicle, antennas and a transmitter transmitting radio waves through the antennas. The apparatus also includes, on each wheel of the vehicle, a pressure sensor sensing the pressure of a tire, a transceiver, and a charging unit powering the pressure sensor and the transceiver. The charging unit is charged with electric power induced by a corresponding one of the radio waves received by the transceiver. The apparatus further includes, on the body of the vehicle, a receiver receiving pressure signals transmitted by the transceivers, a pressure determiner determining the pressures of the tires based on the pressure signals, and a controller. To minimize influence of the radio waves on neighboring devices, the controller controls the transmitter so that least two of the radio waves are transmitted at different times, or at the same with a phase difference therebetween.

摘要:
A tire inflation pressure detecting apparatus includes a second transceiver provided on the body of a vehicle which changes its operation alternately between a second transmitter and a second receiver mode, thereby intermittently transmitting a radio wave. A first transceiver provided on a wheel of the vehicle operates in a first receiver mode to receive the radio wave, thereby charging a charging unit. When the charging unit has been sufficiently charged, the first transceiver changes operation thereof from the first receiver mode to a first transmitter mode, in which the first transceiver first repeatedly transmits an informing signal at predetermined time intervals for a predetermined time period and then transmits a pressure signal. When the informing signal is received by the second transceiver in the second receiver mode, the second transceiver keeps its operation in the second receiver mode until the pressure signal is completely received.

In a filter circuit, first and second coils are connected to first and second communication lines, respectively. At a secondary side of the first and second coils, first and second capacitors are connected in series between the first and second communication lines. At a primary side of the first and second coils, third and fourth capacitors are connected in series between the first and second communication lines. A connection node between the first and second capacitors is grounded. A connection node between the third and fourth capacitors is grounded. The first and second coils are adjacently arranged in order to have a reversed polarity to each other. The filter circuit having the above structure works as a n-type filter capable of eliminate both common mode noise and normal mode noise. The filter circuit can eliminate noise caused by the first and second coils.

摘要:
A tire inflation pressure sensing apparatus includes a transmitter provided on a wheel of a vehicle and a receiver provided on a body of the vehicle. The transmitter includes a pressure sensor working to generate a pressure signal and a charging unit configured to be charged with electrical power via a radio wave from the receiver. The transmitter is configured to be triggered to send out the pressure signal by a change of operation of the receiver from an ON-mode, in which the receiver sends out the radio wave, to an OFF-mode in which that stops sending out the radio wave. The receiver works to change the operation thereof alternately between the ON-mode and OFF-mode in accordance with predefined processes, so that reliable transmissions of both the radio wave and the pressure signal between the transmitter and receiver are ensured without determining the relative position of the transmitter and receiver.
