Field of the Invention
[001] The invention relates in general to self-inflating tires and, more specifically, to a pump mechanism for these tires. Background of the Invention
[002] A normal diffusion of air reduces the pressure in the tire over time. The natural state of the tires is under inflated. Therefore, drivers must repeatedly act to maintain tire pressures, or they will experience lower fuel economy, tire life and less vehicle braking and maneuvering performance. Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems have been proposed to alert drivers when tire pressure is significantly low. These systems, however, remain dependent on the driver taking corrective action when prompted to re-inflate a tire to the recommended pressure. It is therefore desirable to incorporate a self-inflating feature within a tire that will auto-inflate the tire in order to compensate for any pressure drop in the tire over time, without the need for driver intervention.

[045] Referring to figs. 1 and 5, a tire set 10 includes a tire 12, a peristaltic pump set 14 and a tire rim 16. The tire is seated in a conventional manner on a pair of rim seating surfaces 18, 20 located adjacent to external rim flanges 22,24. The outer rim flanges 22,24 have an outer rim surface 26. A rim body 28 supports the tire assembly as shown. The tire is of conventional construction, having a pair of side walls 30.32 extending from external bead areas 34.36 to a crown or tire reading region 38. The tire and rim involve a tire cavity 40.
[046] As shown in figs. 1, 2 and 4, the peristaltic pump assembly 14 includes a first and second pumps 41, 42 which are mounted on a passageway 43 located in the side wall area of the tire, preferably close to the bead region. The airway is preferably molded on the sidewall of the tire during vulcanization, and is preferably annular in shape. Each pump 41, 42 has a first end 41a, 42a joined by an inlet device 44, and a second end 41b, 42b joined by an outlet device 46. Each pump 41, 42 is comprised of a tube formed of a flexible material resilient, such as plastic, silicone, elastomer or rubber compounds, and is able to withstand repeated deformation cycles when the tube is deformed in a flattened condition subject to external force and, soon after removing this force, returns to its original condition generally circular in cross section. The tube is of sufficient diameter to operatively pass a volume of air sufficient for the purposes described in this document, and to allow positioning of the tube in an operable location within the tire assembly, as will be described. Preferably, the tube has a shape in circular cross section, although other shapes, such as elliptical or lens shape, can be used.
[047] As shown, the inlet device 44 and the outlet device 46 are spaced approximately 180 degrees apart at each other, forming two 180-step pumps 41, 42. The inlet and outlet devices can be located adjacent to each other, thus forming a single 360-degree pump. Other variations can be used, such as 270 degrees, etc. The outlet device 46 is a connector having a body 47 with a first port 48 that connects to the outlet end 41b of the pump 41. The first port 48 is in fluid communication with the outlet port 52. The outlet port 52 extends into the tire cavity, so that the pump end 41b is in fluid communication with the tire cavity. The outlet device further includes a second port 50 that connects to the outlet end 42b of the pump 42. The second port 50 is connected to an outlet port 54 which is located in the tire cavity, so that the pump end 42 is in fluid communication with the tire cavity. Fig. 3B further illustrates that each outlet end 52, 54 may further comprise a check valve 56.58 to prevent counterflow of air to the pump. The outlet ends 52, 54 of the outlet device 46 extend into the tire cavity, so that the outlet ends are in fluid communication with the inner tire cavity 40.
[048] Input device 44 is shown in figs. 8-15. The inlet device works to regulate the inlet flow of both pumps 41, 42. The inlet device 44 includes an external cover 45 that can be molded into a green tire and then cured. The cover 45 has two side holes 47 for fluid communication with the inlet of the pump tubes 41, 42, as described in more detail below. The cover further comprises an internal cavity 50 formed by side walls 51 and bottom wall 52. A hole 53 is located in the bottom wall.
[049] A regulator body 54 is received within the inner cavity 50 of the cover. The regulator body 54 has an external duct 56 with a first end 57 which is connected to the regulator body and a distal end 59 which is received inside the hole 53 of the internal cavity 50. The external duct is dimensioned to be of sufficient length, so that the distal end 59 of the duct is in fluid communication with the tire cavity 40. The first end 57 of the outer duct 56 is connected to an inner chamber 58 which is preferably located centrally within the regulator body 54. A inner chamber 58 has two opposing holes 60 leading to two opposite passageways 62. The passageways 62 are positionable for alignment with the holes 47 located in the cover 45.
[050] A pressure membrane 64 is received inside the bottom of the chamber 58 and is supported by a rim 65 on the chamber wall 66. The pressure membrane is preferably disk-shaped and formed of a flexible material such as, for example, example, rubber, elastomer, plastic or silicone.
[051] An insert 68 is positioned in the chamber 58 over the pressure membrane 64. The insert 68 has an upper flanged surface 70 having one or more air holes 74 extending from the upper surface 70 and down through the insert body. 72, so that the outlet air is in fluid communication with the pressure membrane 64. The air holes can optionally include a filter 80. Insert 68 has an internal cavity 76 which is in fluid communication with the pressure membrane. pressure 64, the air holes 74, and two transverse ducts 78 that are transverse or perpendicular to the air orifices 74. The transverse ducts are connected to each side of the inner cavity 76. The inner cavity is surrounded by a flanged portion 77 that can be annular in shape and positioned to engage with the pressure membrane.
[052] The operation of the inlet pressure regulating device 44 can now be described. The pressure diaphragm detects the pressure in the tire cavity through the pressure in the duct 56 which is in fluid communication with the tire cavity. When the pressure in the tire is high enough, the pressure membrane is sensitive to the pressure in the tire, and if the pressure is high enough, the pressure membrane is forced to engage with the flanged portion of the inner body and sealing the inner cavity 76 through the pressure membrane, as shown in fig. 13A. The pressure membrane settles against the flanged portion 77 of the inner body 68 interrupting the flow to the cavity 76. As the pressure in the tire decreases, the pressure membrane departs from the flanged portion 77, as shown in fig. 13b, and air can flow to air holes 74, and cavity 76. As shown in fig. 15, the air from the cavity enters the transverse ducts 78 and then through the opposite chamber passageways 62, and then through the aligned holes 47 of the outer cover 45 and then to the inlet ends of the respective pumps 41, 42.
[053] As will be appreciated from fig. 4A, the input device 44 and the output device 46 are in fluid communication with the circular air tube 42, and generally positioned 180 degrees apart. As the tire rotates in a direction of rotation 88, a footprint 100 is formed against the surface of the ground 98. A compressive force 104 is directed at the tire from footprint 100 and acts to flatten a segment 110 of pump 42, as shown in reference number 106. The flattening of segment 110 of pump 42 forces a portion of air located between flattened segment 110 and outlet device 46, in the direction shown by arrow 84, toward outlet device 46.
[054] As the tire continues to rotate in the 88 direction along the ground surface 98, the pump tube 42 will be sequentially flattened or squeezed segment by segment in a direction 90 that is opposite the direction of rotation of the tire 88. The sequential flattening of the pump tube 42 segment by segment causes the air column located between the flattened segments and the outlet device 46 to be pumped in the 84 direction into the pump 42 to the outlet device 46.
[055] With the tire rotating in the 88 direction, the flattened pipe segments are sequentially replenished with air 92 flowing to the inlet device 44 along the pump pipe 42 in the 90 direction, as shown in fig. 4A. The inflow of air from the input device 44 in the 90 direction continues until the output device 46 rotates counterclockwise, as shown with the tire rotation 88, passing the tire footprint 100.
[056] Fig. 4B shows the orientation of the peristaltic pump assembly 14 in this position. In the position shown, tube 41 continues to be sequentially flattened segment by segment opposite the tire footprint by compressive force 104, as shown in reference number 106. Air is pumped clockwise 94 to the inlet device 44, where it is evacuated or discharged. The exhaust air passage 96 from the inlet device 44 is through the internal filter 80, which acts to self-clean the filter of accumulated debris or particles within the porous medium. With the evacuation of pumped air out of the input device 44, the output device is in the closed position and the air does not flow from it into the tire cavity. When the tire additionally rotates counterclockwise 88 until the inlet device 44 passes the tire footprint 100 (as shown in fig. 4A), the air flow resumes to the outlet device 46, causing the pumped air to flow to outside (86) to the tire cavity 40.
[057] Fig. 4B illustrates that tube 42 is flattened segment by segment as in 102, 1021, 10211, the tire rotates in the 88 direction. Therefore, the progression of squeezed or flattened tube segments can be seen moving in a clockwise direction, against for the tire rotation in the 88 direction. As segment 102 moves away from footprint 100, the compressive forces within the tire from the footprint region are eliminated, and segment 102 is free to resiliently reconfigure itself in a state not flattened, as segment 102 is replenished with air from passageway 43. In the original non-flattened configuration the segments of tube 42 are generally circular in section.
[058] The cycle described above is then repeated for each tire revolution, half of each rotation resulting in pumped air going into the tire cavity, and half of the rotation of the pumped air is directed back out of the input device to self-cleaning the filter. It will be appreciated that although the direction of rotation 88 of the tire 12 is shown in figs. 4A and 4B as being counterclockwise, the particular tire set and its peristaltic pump set 14 will operate in the same direction in the opposite direction of rotation (clockwise) as shown by reference number 88. The peristaltic pump is therefore bi -directional and equally functional with the tire set moving in a progressive or regressive direction of rotation.
[059] The location of the peristaltic pump set will be understood from figs. 5-6. In one embodiment, the peristaltic pump assembly 14 is positioned on the tire sidewall, radially out from the surface of the rim flange 26 in the anti-friction lining 120. Thus positioned, the air tube 42 is radially into the tire footprint 100 and is thus positioned to be flattened by forces directed from the tire's footprint, as described above. The segment 110 which is opposite footprint 100 will flatten out from the compressive force 114 from footprint 100 by compressing the pipe segment against the surface of the rim flange 26. Although the positioning of pipe 42 is specifically shown as between a antifriction lining 120 of the tire in the bead region 34 and the rim surface 26, it is not limited to the same, and can be located in any region of the tire, such as anywhere on the sidewall or tread. The diametric dimensioning of the air tube of the peristaltic pump 42 is directed to extend from the circumference of the surface of the rim flange 26.
[060] From the foregoing, it will be appreciated that the particular invention provides a bidirectional peristaltic pump for a self-inflating tire, in which a circular air tube 42 flattens out segment by segment and closes in the tire footprint 100 The air inlet device T 44 may include a filter 80 and be self-cleaning. The peristaltic pump assembly 14 pumps air in the rotation of the tire, in each direction, half a revolution pumping air into the tire cavity 40 and the other half a revolution pumping air back out of the input device 44 (filter 80). The peristaltic pump assembly 14 can be used with a conventional tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) (not shown) of conventional configuration that serves as a system failure detector. TPMS can be used to detect any failure in the tire set's auto-inflation system, and alert the user to this condition.
[061] Variations in the present invention are possible in light of its description provided in this document. Although certain representative embodiments and details have been shown for the purpose of illustrating the particular invention, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various changes and modifications can be made to it without departing from the scope of the particular invention. It is, therefore, to be understood that changes can be made in the particular modalities described that will fall within the full intended scope of the invention, as defined by the attached claims below.
