US 12,709,120 B2 · Tire pressure regulation

Abstract

A system is disclosed for regulating the pressure of fluid in at least one tire of a vehicle, the system comprising a reservoir comprising fluid at a first pressure higher than the pressure of the fluid in the tire, a compressor configured to receive fluid from the tire and supply it to the reservoir, and processing circuitry configured to receive data representing at least one condition of the fluid in the tire, determine a desired change to the condition, and if the desired change comprises an increase in the pressure of the fluid in the tire, cause fluid from the reservoir to be supplied to the tire or if the desired change comprises a decrease in the pressure of the fluid in the tire, cause fluid from the tire to be supplied to the reservoir via the compressor.

A system for regulating a pressure of fluid in at least one tire of a vehicle, the system comprising:

a reservoir fluidly coupled to the tire and comprising fluid at a first pressure higher than the pressure of the fluid in the tire;
a compressor configured to receive fluid from the tire and supply it to the reservoir;
and processing circuitry configured to:
receive a desired change to at least one condition of the fluid in the tire;
and if the desired change comprises an increase in the pressure of the fluid in the tire, cause fluid from the reservoir to be supplied to the tire;
if the desired change comprises a decrease in the pressure of the fluid in the tire, cause fluid from the tire to be supplied to the reservoir via the compressor;
and if the desired change comprises a decrease in a temperature of the fluid in the tire, cause fluid from the reservoir to be supplied to the tire and cause fluid from the tire to be supplied to the reservoir.
