[0013] Both the positive electrode and the negative electrode are spring-loaded electrodes.
[0014] The positive electrode and the negative electrode of the spring-shaped structure are fixed to the outside of the support portion of the wheel decorative cover.

[0017] Secondly, this disclosure provides a vehicle capable of detecting wheel loosening, including the loosening detectable automobile wheel described in the first aspect, and a signal detection device; wherein...
[0018] The signal detection device is used to detect the signal emitted by the signal generator, and when it is determined that the signal generator has not emitted a signal, it is determined that the wheel is loose; wherein...
[0019] When the rim becomes loose, the positive electrode and the negative electrode that are furthest from the bearing disengage from the bearing, thereby stopping the signal generator from transmitting signals.
[0020] Thirdly, this disclosure provides a method for identifying loose car wheel rims, applied to a car wheel equipped with a signal transmitting device. The signal transmitting device includes a positive electrode, a negative electrode, a battery connected between the positive and negative electrodes, and a signal generator. The positive and negative electrodes are fixed side-by-side on the outer side of the wheel cover; the battery and signal generator are fixed on the inner side of the wheel cover; the positive electrode and the negative electrode that are furthest from the bearing are located at the edge of the bearing; the wheel cover is fixed at the center of the wheel rim.
[0021] The method comprises:

[0023] The signal emitted by the signal generator is detected by a signal detection device.
[0024] Based on the signal transmission status of the signal generator detected by the signal detection device, the rim status of the car wheel is determined; wherein, the rim status of the car wheel includes a rim detachment state or a normal rim state.
[0025] In some embodiments, determining the rim state of the vehicle wheel based on the signal transmission state of the signal generator's externally transmitted signal detected by the signal detection device includes:

[0034] A loose-detectable automobile wheel according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes a rim; a wheel cover fixed at the center of the rim; and a signal transmitting device including a positive electrode, a negative electrode, a battery connected between the positive and negative electrodes, and a signal generator. The positive and negative electrodes are fixed side-by-side on the outer side of the wheel cover; the battery and signal generator are fixed on the inner side of the wheel cover. When the wheel cover is fixed at the center of the rim, the positive and negative electrodes on the outer side of the wheel cover are electrically connected through a bearing of the rim, thereby connecting the circuit between the battery, the positive electrode, the negative electrode, and the signal generator. The electrode of the positive and negative electrodes furthest from the bearing is located at the edge of the bearing. In this application, a signal transmitting device is installed in the car wheel. When the wheel cover is fixed at the center of the rim, both the positive and negative electrodes on the outer side of the wheel cover are connected to the bearing of the rim. The electrode furthest from the bearing is located at the edge of the bearing. The positive and negative electrodes are electrically connected through the bearing of the rim, so that the signal generator can transmit signals to the outside. When the rim begins to move outward and fall off, the electrode furthest from the bearing can detach and contact the bearing, thereby stopping the signal generator from transmitting signals. Thus, the signal generator's signal transmission status can be used to determine whether the rim has begun to fall off, thereby improving the safety of the car's driving status.
[0035] Additional aspects and advantages of this disclosure will be set forth in part in the description which follows, and in part will be obvious from the description, or may be learned by practice of this disclosure. Attached Figure Description

[0040] Embodiments of this disclosure are described in detail below, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this disclosure, and should not be construed as limiting this disclosure.
[0041] When the wheel rim bolts are not tightened, they will gradually loosen during driving, eventually causing the wheel rim to detach from the vehicle. Wheel rim detachment usually leads to loss of control or even rollover. Current monitoring methods mostly rely on manual, periodic checks of bolt tightness, which are cumbersome and cannot provide real-time monitoring, posing significant safety hazards.
[0042] In response to the above situation, this disclosure provides a loose and detectable automobile wheel. Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram illustrating a loose, detectable automobile wheel structure according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 1 As shown, the loose, detectable car wheel includes:
[0043] Wheel rim 01;
[0044] Wheel decorative cover 02, fixed to the center of the wheel rim;
[0045] The signal transmitting device includes a positive electrode, a negative electrode, a battery connected between the positive electrode and the negative electrode, and a signal generator; wherein the positive electrode and the negative electrode are fixed side by side to the outside of the wheel decorative cover 02;
[0046] When the wheel cover 02 is fixed at the center of the rim 01, the positive electrode and the negative electrode on the outside of the wheel cover are electrically connected through the bearing 03 of the rim, so that the circuit between the battery, the positive electrode, the negative electrode and the signal generator is connected; wherein, the electrode of the positive electrode and the negative electrode that is away from the bearing is located at the edge of the bearing.
[0047] In this exemplary embodiment, the signal transmitting device can be installed inside the car wheel. The positive electrode and the negative electrode are fixed side-by-side on the outer side of the wheel cover. When the wheel cover is fixed at the center of the rim, both the positive and negative electrodes on the outer side of the wheel cover are connected to the bearing of the rim. Simultaneously, the electrode furthest from the bearing is located at the edge of the bearing, allowing the positive and negative electrodes to be electrically connected through the bearing of the rim. This enables the signal generator to emit signals. When the rim begins to detach, the rim can cause the positive and negative electrodes to move outwards, detaching from the bearing and stopping the signal generator from emitting signals. Therefore, the signal generator's signal emission status can be used to determine whether the rim has begun to detach, improving vehicle driving safety. The positive and negative electrodes are either 04 or 06; that is, the positive electrode can be either electrode 04 or electrode 06, and the negative electrode can also be either electrode 04 or electrode 06. Among them, the positive electrode and the negative electrode that are far from the bearing are located at the edge of the bearing. It can be determined that the positive electrode and the negative electrode that are far from the bearing are located at the edge of the bearing (the edge of the bearing here is the edge closer to the electrode) and the distance between them can be 3 to 4 millimeters.
[0048] In this exemplary embodiment, the battery and signal generator are fixed inside the wheel cover. By fixing the battery and signal generator inside the wheel cover, the battery and signal generator rotate with the wheel when it rotates, thereby preventing the battery and signal generator from interfering with the normal rotation of the wheel.
[0049] In this exemplary embodiment, the bearing can be a brake bearing. When the wheel cover is fixed at the center of the rim, the wheel cover is coaxially mounted at the center of the rim.
[0050] In some embodiments, Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of a wheel cover structure according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 1 .like Figure 2 As shown, the wheel cover includes a flat top and a support portion 05 extending from the surface of the flat top;
[0051] When the wheel decorative cover is fixed at the center of the wheel rim, the support part 05 extends into the center of the wheel rim and contacts the bearing of the wheel rim; wherein, the positive electrode and the negative electrode are both spring-shaped electrodes;
[0052] The positive electrode and the negative electrode of the spring-shaped structure are fixed to the outside of the support part 05 of the wheel decorative cover.
[0053] In this exemplary embodiment, as Figure 2 As shown, both the positive electrode 04 and the negative electrode can be spring-loaded electrodes, fixed to the outside of the support portion 05 of the wheel cover. The support portion 05 of the wheel cover is in contact with the bearing, allowing both the positive and negative electrodes to contact the bearing, thereby achieving electrical conductivity between the positive and negative electrodes. This creates a conductive path for the signal generator, enabling it to transmit signals externally.
[0054] In some embodiments, both the positive electrode and the negative electrode are annular structures.
[0055] In this exemplary embodiment, the positive electrode and the negative electrode of the annular structure can be more easily fixed to the outside of the support portion of the wheel cover.
[0056] In some embodiments, the bearing of the rim is made of a conductive material.
[0057] In this exemplary embodiment, both the positive electrode and the negative electrode are annular structures, allowing them to be fixed to the outer side of the support portion of the wheel cover. The bearing of the wheel rim is made of a conductive material, enabling a conductive connection between the positive and negative electrodes, thereby forming a conductive path for the signal generator to emit signals. The conductive material can be a conductive ferrous material. Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of a wheel cover structure according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 2 .like Figure 3 As shown, the signal generator 07 can be located inside the flat top 08 of the wheel cover. Simultaneously, when the wheel rim begins to detach and move outward, the positive and negative electrodes move outward along with the rim. The electrode furthest from the bearing among the positive and negative electrodes can detach from its contact with the bearing, thereby causing the signal generator to stop emitting signals. Therefore, the signal generator's signal emission status can be used to determine whether the wheel rim has begun to detach, thus improving vehicle driving safety.
[0058] In this exemplary embodiment, to improve detection accuracy, a vibration detection sensor can be added inside the wheel rim. The vibration detection sensor detects the vibration frequency of the wheel during vehicle operation. Wheel abnormalities are detected by measuring the vehicle's vibration frequency. When the signal generator of the signal transmitting device stops transmitting signals, the vibration frequency of the vehicle wheel detected by the vibration detection sensor can be analyzed, thus facilitating the detection of whether the vehicle wheel has become loose.
[0059] This disclosure provides a vehicle capable of detecting wheel loosening, including the loosening detectable automobile wheel described in the first aspect above, and a signal detection device; wherein,
[0060] The signal detection device is used to detect the signal emitted by the signal generator, and when it is determined that the signal generator has not emitted a signal, it is determined that the wheel is loose; wherein...
[0061] When the rim becomes loose, the positive electrode and the negative electrode that are furthest from the bearing disengage from the bearing, thereby stopping the signal generator from transmitting signals.
[0062] In this exemplary embodiment, the loose state of a vehicle wheel can be detected. A signal transmitting device is installed in the wheel, and a signal detection device is installed inside the vehicle. The positive electrode and the negative electrode of the signal transmitting device are fixed side by side to the outside of the wheel cover. When the wheel cover is fixed at the center of the rim, both the positive and negative electrodes on the outside of the wheel cover are connected to the bearing of the rim. Simultaneously, the electrode of the positive and negative electrodes furthest from the bearing is located at the edge of the bearing, so that the positive and negative electrodes are electrically connected through the bearing of the rim, allowing the signal generator to emit signals. When the rim begins to move outward and detach, the rim can drive the positive and negative electrodes outward, detaching them from the bearing, causing the signal generator to stop emitting signals. Thus, the signal emission status of the signal generator can be used to determine whether the rim has begun to detach, thereby improving the safety of the vehicle's driving state.
[0063] This disclosure provides a method for identifying loose car wheel rims, applicable to car wheels equipped with a signal transmitting device. The signal transmitting device includes a positive electrode, a negative electrode, a battery connected between the positive and negative electrodes, and a signal generator. The positive and negative electrodes are fixed side-by-side on the outer side of a wheel cover; the battery and signal generator are fixed on the inner side of the wheel cover; the electrode of the positive and negative electrodes furthest from the bearing is located at the edge of the bearing; the wheel cover is fixed at the center of the wheel rim.
[0064] The method comprises:
[0065] Step 10: Based on the conductive connection between the positive electrode and the negative electrode through the bearing of the rim, the signal generator is triggered to emit a signal to the outside.
[0066] Step 11: Detect the signal emitted by the signal generator using a signal detection device;
[0067] Step 12: Based on the signal transmission status of the signal generator detected by the signal detection device, determine the rim status of the car wheel; wherein, the rim status of the car wheel includes rim detachment status or rim normal status.
[0068] In this exemplary embodiment, the loose state of a vehicle wheel can be detected. A signal transmitting device is installed in the wheel, and a signal detection device is installed inside the vehicle. The positive electrode and the negative electrode of the signal transmitting device are fixed side by side to the outside of the wheel cover. When the wheel cover is fixed at the center of the rim, both the positive and negative electrodes on the outside of the wheel cover are connected to the bearing of the rim. Simultaneously, the electrode of the positive and negative electrodes furthest from the bearing is located at the edge of the bearing, so that the positive and negative electrodes are electrically connected through the bearing of the rim, allowing the signal generator to emit signals. When the rim begins to move outward and detach, the rim can drive the positive and negative electrodes outward, detaching them from the bearing, causing the signal generator to stop emitting signals. Thus, the signal emission status of the signal generator can be used to determine whether the rim has begun to detach, thereby improving the safety of the vehicle's driving state.
[0069] In some embodiments, determining the rim state of the vehicle wheel based on the signal transmission state of the signal generator's externally transmitted signal detected by the signal detection device includes:
[0070] If the signal detection device cannot detect the signal emitted by the signal generator, then the rim condition of the car wheel is determined to be a rim detachment state.
[0071] If the signal detection device detects the signal emitted by the signal generator, it determines that the rim condition of the car wheel is normal.
[0072] In this exemplary embodiment, the rim condition of the vehicle wheel can be determined based on the signal transmission status of the signal generator's externally emitted signal detected by the signal detection device. For example, if the signal detection device does not detect the signal emitted by the signal generator, the rim condition of the vehicle wheel is determined to be a rim detachment state; if the signal detection device detects the signal emitted by the signal generator, the rim condition of the vehicle wheel is determined to be a normal rim state, thus improving the safety of the vehicle's driving state.
[0073] In some embodiments, including:
[0074] If the signal detection device cannot detect the signal emitted by the signal generator, it will broadcast a fault warning message about the vehicle wheel rim failure through the vehicle control system.
[0075] In this exemplary embodiment, for vehicle driving safety, when the signal detection device fails to detect the signal emitted by the signal generator, the vehicle may have experienced a wheel rim detachment fault. In this case, a fault warning message regarding the wheel rim fault can be broadcast through the vehicle control system. Broadcasting this fault warning message through the vehicle control system alerts the driver that the vehicle has experienced a wheel rim detachment fault, thereby drawing the driver's attention to safety.
[0076] In some embodiments, including:
[0077] If the signal detection device cannot detect the signal emitted by the signal generator, the vehicle control system will control the safety warning light to turn on.
[0078] In this exemplary embodiment, for vehicle driving safety, when the signal detection device cannot detect the signal emitted by the signal generator, the vehicle may have experienced a wheel rim detachment fault. At this time, the vehicle control system can control the safety warning light to be turned on to alert vehicles in the external environment that the vehicle may have a wheel rim detachment fault and to take precautions to avoid it.
[0079] In some embodiments, including:
[0080] If the signal detection device cannot detect the signal emitted by the signal generator, the vehicle control system will automatically decelerate the car.
[0081] In this exemplary embodiment, for vehicle driving safety, when the signal detection device cannot detect the signal emitted by the signal generator, the vehicle may have experienced a rim detachment fault. At this time, the vehicle control system can be used to control the vehicle to automatically decelerate in order to improve vehicle driving safety.
