Abstract
A tire condition detecting device includes a case, a detecting section, which is accommodated in the case to detect a condition of a tire, an attachment portion provided in the case, an insertion hole, which is provided in the attachment portion and is configured to allow a snap-in valve to be inserted into the insertion hole, and a case-side fitting portion, which is provided in the attachment portion to be positioned outward of the insertion hole in a direction orthogonal to a central axis of the insertion hole, and is configured to be fitted to a clamp-in valve. The snap-in valve inserted into the insertion hole or the clamp-in valve fitted to the case-side fitting portion is attached to the case with a fixing tool.
Claims4
A tire condition detecting device comprising:
- a case;
- a detecting section, which is accommodated in the case to detect a condition of a tire;
- an attachment portion provided in the case;
- an insertion hole, which is provided in the attachment portion and is configured to allow a snap-in valve to be inserted into the insertion hole;
- and
- a case-side fitting portion, which is provided in the attachment portion to be positioned outward of the insertion hole in a direction orthogonal to a central axis of the insertion hole, and is configured to be fitted to a clamp-in valve,
- wherein the snap-in valve inserted into the insertion hole or the clamp-in valve fitted to the case-side fitting portion is attached to the case with a fixing tool.
A clamp-in valve configured to be attached to a tire condition detecting device, wherein the tire condition detecting device includes
- a case,
- a detecting section, which is accommodated in the case to detect a condition of a tire,
- an attachment portion provided in the case,
- an insertion hole, which is provided in the attachment portion and is configured to allow a snap-in valve to be inserted into the insertion hole, and
- a case-side fitting portion, which is provided in the attachment portion to be positioned outward of the insertion hole in a direction orthogonal to a central axis of the insertion hole,
- the clamp-in valve comprising a valve-side fitting portion configured to be fitted to the case-side fitting portion,
- wherein the clamp-in valve is configured to be attached to the case with a fixing tool with the case-side fitting portion and the valve-side fitting portion fitted to each other.
A tire valve unit comprising:
- a tire condition detecting device;
- and
- a tire valve attached to the tire condition detecting device, wherein
- the tire condition detecting device includes
- a case;
- a detecting section, which is accommodated in the case to detect a condition of a tire,
- an attachment portion provided in the case,
- an insertion hole, which is provided in the attachment portion and is configured to allow a snap-in valve serving as the tire valve to be inserted into the insertion hole, and
- a case-side fitting portion, which is provided in the attachment portion to be positioned outward of the insertion hole in a direction orthogonal to a central axis of the insertion hole, and is configured to allow a clamp-in valve serving as the tire valve to be fitted to the case-side fitting portion, and
- a fixing tool configured to fix, to the case, the snap-in valve inserted into the insertion hole or the clamp-in valve fitted to the case-side fitting portion.
