Problems solved by technology

In particular, the social ownership of scooters has grown rapidly, and a large number of them are electric scooters. The tires used are mainly divided into two categories; one is inflatable tires, which need to be inflated frequently, which is very cumbersome; the second is non-inflatable tires. It is a solid core tire, and there are also foam materials or hollow structures, but it has high rolling resistance, heavy weight, poor shock absorption effect, high sliding resistance, and poor user experience.
[0003] Vacuum tires have good airtightness, but in order to ensure the self-sealing performance of self-expanding, usually vacuum tires often require tires with thicker bead; if the bead is thicker than 4mm, it will cause media loss due to rolling deformation Larger, greater resistance, will shorten the driving distance of electric scooters by about 10%
[0004] If you need to improve efficiency and reduce rolling resistance, you need a very thin bead tire, such as a thickness of less than 2mm. If it is made into a vacuum tire, you will encounter insufficient outward support of the bead, and the initial state after installation cannot guarantee self-sufficiency. tightness, the initial inflation function cannot be realized
[0005] In addition, the tires of scooters and bicycles are small in size and have little air in the tire volume, so they need to be replenished frequently, and an additional pump is required, which brings inconvenience to users.
[0006] For electric scooters, no matter what kind of pneumatic tires are used, because the wheel hub is occupied by the motor, there is no place for traditional air nozzles to be placed at all.
In addition, the diameter of the scooter wheel is small, and the contradiction between inflating too much at one time and not being able to ride without pressure

Embodiment 1

[0037] Embodiment one: if figure 1 As shown in , the present invention adopts a tubeless tire structure, and the bead 2 adopts an ultra-thin design, and the thickness is controlled to be less than about 2mm.

[0038] In the present invention, the supporting ring 7 is arranged in the tire cavity, which can provide supporting force in the radial direction and the axial direction, so that the ultra-thin tire does not rely on the outward supporting force of the bead 2, but relies on the lateral support 8 of the supporting ring 7 Provides axial support, compressible in this direction to ensure tire fit. In the initial installation state of the tire, under the action of the lateral support 8 of the support ring 7, the tire bead 3 on both sides of the tire 1 is approached to the inner wall of the rim 9, and pressed tightly so that the bead 3 and the rim 9 Form-fitting seal allows for initial inflation.

Embodiment 2

[0039] Embodiment two: if figure 2 As shown in , the figure shows the multi-turn structure of the peristaltic pump, which is arranged in two circles in a helical shape.

[0040] The peristaltic pump 4 for inflation is set at the bead 3, the pump tube is arranged around the bead 3 of the tire, and the pump pipe mouth is used as the air inlet 6; cavity. When the tire is under-inflated, the support ring rolls the upward pressure from the ground to the peristaltic pump, so that the peristaltic pump pumps air into the tire cavity round by round. The inflation pressure is automatically adjusted according to the weight of the rider, forming an adaptive .

[0041]As the tire rolls and rotates forward, the flattened peristaltic pump 4 pipe sections sequentially pressurize the one-way inflation valve 5, and the peristaltic pump 4 completes a cycle of inflation every time the tire is pressed and rolled one circle.

[0042] The peristaltic pump 4 is made of elastic and flexible materi...

Embodiment 3

[0053] Embodiment three: as Figure 6 , the 4 tubes of the peristaltic pump are prefabricated into a kind of elastic tube, just like the bamboo joints, a section of a sealed long tube, and an oblique opening 11 is opened at 10 joints of the air tube of each bamboo joint, which is a micro-opening, and is deflected from the outside of the tube with a blade. Insert it obliquely, and cut air holes at the eccentric edge of the bamboo joint to form a tongue valve for one-way ventilation. The plurality of bamboo peristaltic pumps 4 are connected in series so that the air can only be pumped to flow in the tire cavity, and the one-way inflation valve 5 can also be omitted. The air in the 4 tubes of the slub peristaltic pump can only be sucked in by the air inlet 6, and then rolled and pressed into the tire cavity by the wheel load pressure to realize the self-inflating function.

Abstract

The invention relates to a self-supporting, self-inflating and self-adapting tire device for a scooter; with a vacuum tire structure, a peristaltic pump for inflating is arranged at a bead on at least one side. The peristaltic pump is a sealed long pipe which is the same as a bamboo joint or is made of a cup-shaped elastic pipe, an inclined opening is formed in each bamboo joint air pipe joint, and a one-way ventilation flap valve is formed. And the pump pipe is arranged around the tire. A pipe orifice of the peristaltic pump is used as an air inlet and leads to an outer rim opening; a one-way inflation valve is arranged at the tail of the tube and leads to a tire according to the invention, the tires are inflated in a rolling mode according to the weight of a rider, so that the inflation pressure is automatically adjusted, the phenomenon that inflation is too sufficient is avoided, the situation of under-pressure is avoided, the problem of bumping of the scooter is ingeniously solved through self-adaption, the performance of reducing rolling resistance is considered, and the continuous mileage of the electric scooter is increased by 10%. The three functions of self-supporting, self-inflating and self-adapting are perfectly achieved.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a pneumatic tire, more particularly to an adaptive self-inflating tire device for a scooter. Background technique [0002] Personal means of transport on the market are mainly two-wheeled vehicles, such as bicycles and kick scooters. In particular, the social ownership of scooters has grown rapidly, and a large number of them are electric scooters. The tires used are mainly divided into two categories; one is inflatable tires, which need to be inflated frequently, which is very cumbersome; the second is non-inflatable tires.
