Pressurized-medium supply device, wheel unit having a pressurized-medium supply device, and distributed system for supplying pressurized medium

A decentralized integrated pressurized medium supply device (70) for supplying compressed air, for a wheel unit (14) with a rotatably supported vehicle tire (16), comprising:

• a decentralized compressor unit (74) driven by an electric motor, and having a pressurized medium path (98) that extends between the decentralized compressor unit (74) and a rim body (92) supporting the vehicle tire (16), and the rim body coupled to a support of the wheel unit (14);
• an energy supply connection (126) of the decentralized compressor unit (74) connected to an energy supply unit (104) through an energy supply path (106);
• a pressurized medium supply device (70) at least partially associated with the support and with the wheel unit (14);
• and
• a rotary/stationary transition (116, 158) between the support and the rim body (92) and positioned in the pressurized medium path (98), wherein the compressor unit (74) is mounted on the support and the rotary/stationary transition (116) is positioned eccentrically relative to an axle (78) connected to the wheel unit (14),
• wherein the rotary/stationary transition (116) is positioned in the pressurized medium path (98) and the compressor unit (74) is mounted on the support.
