Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a method implemented by a system for recording the coordinates of a visual indication of the uniformity of an identified tire equipped with an RFID chip. Background Art

[0002] When considering the geometry of a tire, it is clearly understood that there is no such thing as a perfectly balanced and perfectly round tire in this field. Due to the irregularities of the tire, additional forces acting on the axis of rotation during rolling can cause vibrations and deviations in the associated vehicle, which can have an adverse effect on the speed, comfort or smoothness of the vehicle's operation. Therefore, the uniformity of the tire is very important to the vehicle. Therefore, tire manufacturers test the uniformity of each tire to ensure its performance in terms of steering, grip, braking and load-bearing capacity.

[0003] The "uniformity" of a tire refers to its dynamic mechanical properties defined by a set of test conditions and measurement standards recognized by tire and vehicle manufacturers worldwide. These standards include parameters for radial force variation, lateral force variation, fore / aft force variation, conicity, ply orientation, radial exposure, lateral exposure, and sidewall protrusion. Tire manufacturers use uniformity measurements to identify tires that are not performing well so that such tires are not sold on the market.

[0004] For a tire to be sold as good, the tire manufacturer ensures that uniformity inconsistencies are marked by visual indications so that these inconsistencies can be corrected during the installation of the tire on the rim. Usually, the manufacturer will specially mark the sidewall of the tire with colored dots to guide the installation process. The purpose of these colored dots is to help technicians balance the tire correctly. For example, radial forces should be minimized to ensure a correct installation and to ensure a smooth ride. For example, radial forces are indicated by white dots.

[0005] The color dots are managed entirely by uniformity machines that analyze the carcass to extract information about uniformity. Using the barcode as a reference, the uniformity machine stores information about the location of these measurements and their values. To obtain a visual reference system, these machines also apply color dots on the sidewall of the tire at the measurement locations. The reference is the color dots (not the barcode), since the barcode is not visible on the assembly of the tire and rim. Unfortunately, the implementation of these color dots is rather complicated. For example, they can fall off and, as a result, cause loss of time and money for tire manufacturers and their customers.

[0006] In the field of tire manufacturing, there are already electronic components (such as TMS or tire mounting system type electronic components) fixed in the carcass by a fixture. Each fixture is made of an elastomeric material (such as natural rubber, synthetic elastomers, combinations and equivalents thereof), which makes the electronic components perform well in terms of communication. The electronic components installed in the fixture measure the parameters in the chamber formed by the carcass in an expanded state and the rim on which the carcass is mounted. The measured parameters are selected from those considered to be critical to the safe use of the mounting assembly, including but not limited to the pressure of the tire (including changes in the pressure of the tire), the temperature of the tire (including changes in the temperature of the tire), the speed of the wheel, the acceleration (including changes in acceleration), the change of the crown (including the expected wear of the crown) and related data (such as route event data that can be captured by each electronic component). Communication with these electronic components (especially for the communication of parameters of the mounting assembly) is usually carried out by radio frequency transmission to a transmitter / receiver device (for example, by using a device of the "radio frequency identification" or "RFID" type). Tires currently equipped with RFID chips have a unique identifier that enables information related to the tire to be found in a traceable chain.

[0007] Thus, the disclosed invention uses RFID identifiers to collect uniformity information to avoid the use of colored dots. Thus, the present invention enables digitization of colored dots to optimize the process of applying a visual indication of the uniformity of a tire. Summary of the invention

[0040] The nature and various advantages of the present invention will become more apparent from the following detailed description read in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which like reference numerals refer to like parts throughout the drawings,

[0041] in:

[0042] Figure 1 and Figure 2 The components of a known tire are shown in a meridian plane.

[0043] Figure 3 One embodiment of the system of the present invention is shown for implementing the method of applying a visual indication of the uniformity of a tire.

[0044] Figure 4 It is shown that when performing the method of the present invention for applying a visual indication of uniformity of a tire, Figure 3 The identified tire is processed by the system. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0045] Taking into account the geometry of the tire, Figure 1 and Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of a tire P comprising, in a conventional manner, two circumferential beads intended to secure the tire to a wheel rim. Each bead comprises an annular reinforcing bead wire. With particular reference to Figure 1 , the tire P comprises inner limits F which together define the limits of the sidewall F of the tire P i and the outer limit F e . Inner limit F i The sidewall F of the tire is separated from the rim (not shown) on which the tire is to be mounted. The tire P also includes a rim radius R j , the rim radius R j Defined as the distance between the center point C of the tire and the inner limit F of the sidewall F separating the rim and the tire i The tire P also includes a rim radius R defined as j The tire P also includes a tire radius R p , the tire radius R p It is defined as the distance between the center point C and the outer limit F of the sidewall F representing the rolling surface of the tire. e The tire P also includes a tire radius R defined as p Twice the tire diameter.

[0046] refer to Figure 2 , an unloaded pneumatic tire P has several parameters of its geometry, including the nominal section width L P and height H P (Height H P Usually expressed as width L PThe tire P also has a measurement D representing the diameter of the rim on which the tire is to be mounted. J (This measurement is essentially equal to the inner diameter of the sidewall F I ). It should be understood that each of these parameters can be expressed in terms of an equivalent known length measurement (eg, in millimeters (mm) or inches (in)).

[0047] The construction of a tire is usually described by the representation of the constituent components of the tire in a meridian plane (that is, a plane containing the axis of rotation of the tire). The radial, axial and circumferential directions respectively denote the direction perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the tire, the direction parallel to the axis of rotation of the tire and the direction perpendicular to any meridian plane. The expressions "radially", "axially" and "circumferentially" respectively denote "in the radial direction", "in the axial direction" and "in the circumferential direction" of the tire. The expressions "radially inside" and "radially outside" respectively denote "closer to or further away from the axis of rotation of the tire in the radial direction".

[0048] Reference now Figure 3 and Figure 4 , wherein like reference numerals denote like elements, Figure 3 One embodiment of a system 100 for implementing a method of applying a visual indication of uniformity of a tire is shown. As used herein, a visual indication refers to a colored dot (although it should be understood that other visual indications may be processed by the system 100). The method of the present invention utilizes a tire (e.g., Figure 2 RFID identifiers are used to collect uniformity information of tires of the type shown in the figure. An RFID identifier refers to data corresponding to the general information of the identified tire, which may include, but is not limited to, its size (which may be indicated by the type of tire and / or its nomenclature), a structural code (e.g., "R" for radial), the source of manufacture (e.g., the name and / or brand of the manufacturer of the identified tire, the date of manufacture, and the place of manufacture, distribution and / or storage), a unique identification number (or "serial number"), a load index, a speed symbol (e.g., "A5" for 25 kilometers per hour), and / or an expected mileage. For example, for a tire of size 250 / 70R 15, the number "250" represents the nominal section width of the tire (in millimeters), the number "70" represents the ratio of the height / width of the tire (or "aspect ratio"), the letter "R" represents a radial tire, and the number "15" represents the diameter of the rim (in inches).

[0049] It should be appreciated that by utilizing the disclosed invention, an RFID identifier may include uniformity information for the identified tire.

[0050] Reference again Figure 3, system 100 includes a communication network (or "network") 102 that manages data entering system 100 from various sources. Communication network 102 includes at least one communication server (or "server") 104 having at least one processor that manages data corresponding to general information about identified tires. The term "identified tires" (whether singular or plural) is used herein to refer to tires equipped with RFID chips that are present in the physical environment of system 100 and that have been tested for uniformity. Server 104 may include (or have access to) one or more databases of system 100 that record data including general information for use in constructing one or more tire uniformity curves. Server 104 may be associated with one or more tire manufacturers.

[0051] The communication network 102 of the system 100 may include one or more communication devices (or "devices") that capture the collected data and send it to the server 104. The one or more communication devices may include one or more portable devices, for example, one or more mobile network devices (e.g., one or more mobile phones, one or more laptop computers, one or more portable devices connected to the network including "augmented reality" and / or "virtual reality" devices, and / or any combination and / or any equivalent). In all cases, the communication device may include clothing and / or wearable devices connected to the network and worn by one or more operators of the uniformity machine (if each operator is a person or a known instrument such as a robot and / or an autonomous vehicle). For example, the monitoring device worn by the operator can monitor the situation of the displayed color point using video and send the corresponding data to the server 104 of the communication network 102.

[0052] The one or more communication devices may also include one or more remote computers capable of transmitting data via the communication network 102. For example, a portable device of the system 100 may transmit overall tire information (including uniformity information of the identified tire) to a remote computer of the system 100. The remote computer may send a balance of positions of color dots of the identified tire indicating an expected display item (e.g., the position of a red dot corresponding to out-of-roundness) to the portable device based on the transmitted data.

[0053] In some embodiments of the system 100, the one or more communication devices of the communication network may also include one or more capture devices that capture data of the identified tire and send it to the server 104. In these embodiments, the one or more capture devices include a capture device for capturing data of the identified tire P. *The imaging system 106 of the server 104 may capture images of the tires entering its field of view during a specified period of time (e.g., images of the identified tires during uniformity measurement). The imaging system 106 (including its cameras) is selected from commercially available instruments (e.g., linear cameras, matrix cameras, or even three-dimensional profilers).

[0054] Server 104 includes an image processing module that analyzes the image of the tire obtained by imaging system 106. The image processing module finds the center point C and the rim radius R of the target tire. j (See Figure 1 Since the center point C is known, the image processing module can determine the center point C of the tire P to be identified. * Tire radius R p The corresponding distance (for example, the vertical distance and horizontal distance between points in the point cloud and the limit of the obtained image can be used to determine the identified tire P by the Pythagorean theorem * Once the rim radius R is known j and tire radius R p , the parameters of the identified tire can be determined. The image processing module can use R j , R p These dimensions are used to determine the corresponding size of the tire (eg, as an index in a tire size reference).

[0055] The corresponding data of the acquired images are recorded in a database of the system 100 (e.g., to facilitate the construction of a model for predicting the expected position of the displayed color point). These data are continuously or intermittently updated. Thus, the system 100 is able to continuously improve all tires processed by the system, thereby ensuring that the system 100 improves the information (including uniformity information) obtained from each tire.

[0056] The communication network 102 may include wired or wireless connections and may implement any data transmission protocol known to those skilled in the art. Examples of wireless connections may include, but are not limited to: radio frequency (RF), satellite, (analog or digital) mobile phone, Wi-Fi, infrared, ZigBee, local area network (LAN), wireless local area network (WLAN), wide area network (WAN), near field communication (NFC), other wireless communication standards and configurations, their equivalents, and combinations of these elements.

[0057] It should be understood that the communication network 102 (including the server 104) involves the use of one or more processors as understood by those skilled in the art. The term "processor" (or, alternatively, the term "programmable logic circuit") (whether singular or plural) refers to one or more devices capable of processing and analyzing data and including one or more software for processing the data (e.g., one or more integrated circuits, one or more controllers, one or more microcontrollers, one or more microcomputers, one or more programmable logic controllers (or PLCs), one or more application specific integrated circuits, one or more neural networks, and / or one or more other known equivalent programmable circuits known to those skilled in the art). The processor includes software for processing data captured by the elements associated with the system 100 (and corresponding data obtained), and also includes software for identifying and locating deviations and identifying their sources to correct the deviations.

[0058] Reference again Figure 3 and Figure 4 , discloses a method for recording an identified tire P equipped with an RFID chip * Some embodiments of the method of the present invention ("method") are implemented by system 100 of visually indicating the uniformity of coordinates. As used herein, the term "method" or "process" may include one or more steps performed by at least one computer system including one or more processors for executing instructions that perform the steps. Any sequence of steps is provided by way of example and does not limit the described method to any particular sequence.

[0059] As a starting point for the method of the invention, the method comprises detecting an identified tire P equipped with an RFID chip. * In this step, the imaging system 106 obtains the image of the identified tire P within the field of view of the camera of the imaging system. * In this step, the location of the label 200 and the barcode 300 is captured. The label 200 (displayed by its manufacturer on the tire P being identified) * The barcode 300 (also displayed on the identified tire P by its manufacturer) contains the calendar week and year of manufacture of the identified tire, which information forms part of the overall information of the identified tire. * The above) includes all information related to the manufacture of the identified tire (including but not limited to the manufacturing plant, the materials contained and the one or more machines used to manufacture the tire) that can identify the exact origin of the tire.

[0060] In this step, the target tire P is analyzed. *to identify the location of the label 200 and the barcode 300. In this step, the imaging system 106 may perform a scan to determine the position of the front vertical edge B AV The corresponding data enables the identified tire P to be identified * In this step, the center line M of the identified tire P can be determined. * diameter (e.g., by determining the imaged front vertical edge B AV and the rear vertical edge B AR In this step, the identified tire P * Tire radius R p It can be determined as half the diameter of the identified tire. * Rim radius R j The inner limit F of the sidewall of the target tire can be determined i In this step, the center point C can be identified as the rim radius R j Relative to the front vertical edge B AV or the rear vertical edge B AR distance and positioned along the midline M.

[0061] Understand the identified tire P * Tire radius R p and rim radius R j , will enable the image processing module to determine the inner limit F of the sidewall F of the identified tire i and the outer limit F e Understand the position of the identified tire P * , will enable the processor to determine the size of the target tire and thus the location of the tag 200 and the barcode 300.

[0062] Furthermore, the method of the present invention comprises a step of calculating an angle α1 representing the angular distance between the tag 200 and the barcode 300. The corresponding coordinates of the tag 200 and the barcode 300 are used to calculate the angle α1 between them. In this step, the measured value of the angle α1 is recorded in the database of the system 100.

[0063] Furthermore, the method of the present invention comprises detecting the tire P to be identified * The manufacturer of the tire is identified in P * It should be understood that the identified tire P * The uniformity test has been carried out by the manufacturer. In this step, the identified tire P at the position where the colored point is captured * Color points 400 are detected in one or more images.

[0064] Furthermore, the method of the present invention comprises a step of calculating an angle α2 representing the angular distance between the barcode 300 and the color dot 400. The corresponding coordinates of the barcode 300 and the color dot 400 are used to calculate the angle α2 therebetween. In this step, the measured value of the angle α2 is recorded in the database of the system 100.

[0065] Angle α1 and angle α2 are recorded so that their sum can be obtained to determine the total angle α between the tag 200 and the colored dot 400. T This total angle is also recorded in the database of the system 100 so that the determination of the position of the tag 200 can locate the coordinates of the color point 400. The total angle α that enables the uniformity point represented by the physical color point to be found T The identified tire P * This overall information can therefore be contained in a database and associated with the identifier contained in the RFID chip to be able to obtain the coordinates of the colored point 400 without having a corresponding physical visual cue.

[0066] Furthermore, the method of the present invention comprises: * The step of comparing the calculated angles α1, α2 with known tire parameters (e.g., known parameters recorded in references of tires manufactured by the manufacturer and / or other manufacturers of known tires available on the market). This step is performed by a processor of the system 100 that is capable of collecting information related to the identified tire P. * The tire reference may include measured values ​​corresponding to a large number of commercially available tires.

[0067] In this comparison step, the identified tire P * The center point C is known (see Figure 1 ). This makes it possible to determine the angular distance between the tag 200 and the colored dot 400.

[0068] In one embodiment of the method of the present invention, the method is implemented by a computer (e.g., by server 104) so ​​that system 100 can construct a model for predicting uniformity information corresponding to an identified tire (e.g., an identified tire for installation on an associated vehicle).

[0069] It is conceivable that one step or some steps of the method can be performed iteratively.

[0070] The system 100 of the present invention may include pre-programmed information related to expected events. For example, the settings of the method of the present invention may be associated with parameters of a typical physical environment (eg, a uniformity test machine) in which the system 100 operates.

[0071] In some embodiments of the present invention, the system 100 (or a device including the system 100) may receive an audio command (including a voice command) or other representative audio data (e.g., a command to start or stop a step of the method of the present invention). The request may include a request for the total angle α between the tag 200 and the color point 400. T The generated response can be presented auditorily, visually, tactilely (e.g., using a tactile interface), and / or in a virtual and / or augmented manner. The response, along with the corresponding data, can be recorded in the neural network.

[0072] It should be understood that the system 100 may include multiple computing devices that perform various aspects of learning. In these embodiments, the processor may configure the system 100 to one or more known uniformity parameters. In these embodiments, it should be understood that one or more reinforcement learning approaches may be used.
