Abstract

A vehicle wheel extends along an axis and has a rim with an outer annular wall radially defined by an inner face and by an outer face, opposite each other; a tire delimits, together with the inner face, a chamber which is filled with air and can be pressurized; a pressure monitoring device is provided to detect and transmit data related to the pressure in the chamber; the pressure monitoring device has a casing fixed with respect to the rim, a pressure sensor having a surface on which the air pressure of the chamber acts, an antenna, and a battery housed in a compartment of the casing; the latter is arranged on the outside of the chamber, whereas the outer annular wall has a seat which houses at least partially the pressure sensor and communicates with the chamber.

Dependent claims

Vehicle wheel extending along an axis and comprising:

a rim comprising an outer annular wall, which carries an inflation valve and is radially defined by an inner face and by an outer face, opposite each other,
a tire delimiting, together with said inner face, a chamber which is filled with air and can be pressurized;
a pressure monitoring device to detect and transmit data related to the pressure in said chamber;
wherein said pressure monitoring device comprises:
a pressure sensor having a surface (26) suitable to detect a quantity indicative of the air pressure in said chamber;
an antenna to transmit pressure data related to the measured quantity;
a casing which is fixed with respect to said rim;
a battery housed in a compartment of said casing;
wherein said casing is arranged outside of said chamber, and said outer annular wall has a seat which houses at least said surface and communicates pneumatically with said chamber.
