Abstract:
A sensing device (200) for fitting at an inner surface of a wheel (222) and configured to abut a wheel hub (224) when the wheel (222) is fitted to a vehicle, the device (200) comprising: a movement sensor (602) for detecting movement of the device away from the wheel hub (224), the movement sensor (602) being located within a sensor housing (202); and a temperature sensor (606) configured to measure a temperature indicative of brake temperature.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method for aligning a rim of a wheel assembly to a wheel hub. The apparatus can include a wheel handler device that is structured to securely engage the wheel assembly. The apparatus can include one or more light emitting devices that project one or more light spots on the face of the wheel hub. The position of one or more light spots relative to another light spot(s) and/or to a reference feature on the face of the hub can provide an indication of the location, orientation, and/or alignment of at least the rim relative to the wheel hub.

Abstract:
A vehicle dynamics simulation test pad assembly is applicable for evaluating performance of a motor vehicle. The test pad assembly includes a substantially planar base, and a mechanically actuated displacement plate vertically spaced apart above the base. A plurality of elongated telescoping guides extend vertically between the base and the displacement plate. A plurality of rotatable horizontally-disposed cam shafts are carried on the base and comprise respective eccentric cams. A plurality of follower carriages are mounted adjacent an underside of the displacement plate proximate respective cams of the cam shafts. A synchronous drive mechanism is operatively connected to the plurality of cam shafts, and is adapted for simultaneously rotating the cam shafts such that the eccentric cams intermittently engage respective follower carriages to dynamically actuate the displacement plate.
Abstract:
A wireless sensor for a wheel end assembly of a heavy-duty vehicle is provided. The wheel end assembly includes a wheel hub and a hub cap mounted on the wheel hub. The sensor includes mounting means disposed in the hub cap. Sensing means are mounted on the mounting means to sense at least one condition of the vehicle. A processor is mounted on the mounting means and is electrically connected to the sensing means to process data from the sensing means. Communication means are mounted on the mounting means and are electrically connected to the processor to communicate the processed data to a user. An electrical energy storage device is mounted on the mounting means and is electrically connected to the sensing means, the processor and the communication means, enabling the sensor to be independent from the vehicle power supply. The sensor also accommodates components of a tire inflation system.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for testing the strength of a bond between a wheel having a tyre bonded thereto, for example, tyre wheels on which tyres are bonded to form bonded tyre wheels. To carry out the method, a wheel having a tyre bonded to the wheel by an adhesive layer is provided and at least one block is cut into the tyre by removing tyre material surrounding the at least one block so that the wheel body is exposed. Once the wheel has been prepared, a shearing tool having a shearing surface is positioned at an angle substantially perpendicular to the periphery of the wheel to enable the shearing means to apply a force in a direction substantially parallel to the adhesive layer. Once the force is applied, the at least one block is sheared from the wheel and the force required to shear the block can be measured.
Abstract:
El presente invento se refiere a un dispositivo y método para la inspección automatizada de los parámetros geométricos de rodadura en ruedas ferroviarias de material rodante que transita en una vía, mediante técnicas de visión artificial. El presente invento utiliza una fuente de luz estructurada (10) que ilumina una línea luminosa (12) en una fracción de la superficie de revolución (3) de una rueda (1), una cámara de captación (20) que capta una imagen (21) de la zona iluminada, y un sistema de procesamiento de datos que registra, digitaliza, corrige geométricamente y reconstruye la información del contorno de la superficie de revolución (3) no registrada en la imagen (21), obteniendo una descripción numérica del perfil transversal completo de la rueda (1) que es representado por medio de un perfilograma reconstruido (500) para calcular los parámetros geométricos de la rueda (1).
