Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of inflation technology, and more particularly to a method, apparatus, computer equipment, and storage medium for inflating a tire. Background Technology
[0002] In vehicle maintenance, the air pump is a core tool for tire pressure regulation, and its ease of operation directly impacts the user experience. Traditional air pumps generally use a physical button interaction mode: after turning on the machine, the user needs to manually set the target tire pressure value by pressing the plus or minus buttons, and then start the inflation process. This operation method has two key drawbacks:
[0003] First, users need to know the precise target tire pressure parameters in advance. Different vehicle models, tire sizes, and usage scenarios (such as load conditions and seasonal temperatures) have significantly different requirements for tire pressure, and ordinary users often lack professional knowledge or the ability to look up these parameters immediately. When users cannot know the required tire pressure value, they can only rely on experience to estimate or repeatedly try and fail, which can easily lead to underinflation or overinflation, thereby affecting driving safety and tire life.
[0004] Secondly, the manual operation process is cumbersome and inefficient. Users must adjust the target value step by step by pressing the button multiple times, which significantly increases the operation time, especially when the tire pressure setting range is large (such as adjusting from the initial value to a higher preset value).
[0005] Existing technologies attempt to optimize the experience through digital displays or memory functions, but fail to resolve the fundamental contradiction:
[0006] Digital screens only improve the readability of numerical values; they do not reduce users' reliance on recognizing target tire pressures.
[0007] The tire pressure memory function requires users to manually set the stored values in advance, which still requires them to have professional knowledge and cannot be adapted to multi-vehicle scenarios.
[0008] These solutions essentially continue the logic of "user-initiated input" and fail to overcome the limitations of manual operation. The core contradiction lies in the irreconcilable conflict between the level of intelligence in the inflation process and the burden on the user—ensuring the accuracy of tire pressure settings while simplifying the operation requires reliance on the user's own expertise and operational precision.
[0009] Therefore, existing air pump technology has always been limited by a fundamental technical problem: how to eliminate the user's manual setting of the target tire pressure, while also eliminating their reliance on tire expertise, and achieving automated preset inflation process. Summary of the Invention
[0010] The present invention provides a tire inflation method, apparatus, computer equipment and storage medium. The technical problem to be solved is: how to eliminate the user's manual setting process of the target tire pressure, and at the same time eliminate their reliance on tire expertise, so as to realize the automated preset inflation process.

[0026] If the air pump is connected to the target tire, the tire pressure of the target tire is collected;
[0027] If the tire pressure of the target tire is less than the preset tire pressure value corresponding to the target TPMS transmitter ID, inflation is started until the tire pressure of the target tire reaches the preset tire pressure value corresponding to the target TPMS transmitter ID, at which point inflation stops.
[0028] A further technical solution is that the air pump includes a display device, and after obtaining the preset tire pressure value corresponding to the target TPMS transmitter ID, the method further includes:

[0043] Please see Figure 1 and combined Figure 2 This invention provides a tire inflation method applied to an air pump, the method comprising the following steps:
[0044] S1, establish a communication connection with the vehicle's central control device, and receive preset tire pressure values of multiple tires and corresponding TPMS transmitter IDs sent by the vehicle's central control device based on the communication connection.
[0045] In practice, vehicles are equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) as standard. The tires of the vehicle have TPMS transmitters inside, and the vehicle's central control unit has a TPMS receiver. The TPMS transmitters of the four tires intermittently modulate the tire pressure and temperature, as well as their own TPMS transmitter ID, and then transmit them through radio frequency signals (such as 433MHz). The TPMS receiver at the central control unit demodulates the received radio frequency signals to clearly know the real-time tire pressure of each tire and the TPMS transmitter ID of each tire.
[0046] In this invention, the air pump establishes a communication connection with the vehicle's central control device, and receives preset tire pressure values for multiple tires and corresponding TPMS transmitter IDs sent by the vehicle's central control device based on the communication connection.
[0047] In this invention, the preset tire pressure value (such as the factory recommended tire pressure) of the vehicle's central control device is used to directly replace manual input, eliminating the user's reliance on professional tire pressure knowledge (for example, ordinary car owners do not need to memorize the tire pressure standards for different tires).
[0048] For example, in some preferred embodiments, the air pump includes a Bluetooth module, and the above step "establishing a communication connection with the vehicle's central control device" specifically includes the following steps: establishing a Bluetooth wireless connection with the vehicle's central control device through a preset Bluetooth communication protocol.
[0049] In practical implementation, Bluetooth, as a widely integrated communication module in in-vehicle central control devices, is naturally adapted to the vehicle environment, avoiding the need for additional communication hardware. For example, when the air pump automatically pairs with the central control device via Bluetooth, it can directly reuse the vehicle's existing communication link without requiring the user to manually configure network parameters. At the same time, Bluetooth's short-range characteristic (usually <10 meters) naturally limits the communication range, ensuring that the air pump is within the vehicle's effective operating area during data transmission. This prevents signal interference (such as mistransmission of data from other vehicles) and improves connection stability (avoiding packet loss during long-distance transmission).
[0050] In some preferred embodiments, the air pump includes a memory. After the above step of "receiving the preset tire pressure values of multiple tires and the corresponding TPMS transmitter IDs sent by the vehicle's central control device based on the communication connection", the method further includes the following step: storing the preset tire pressure values of multiple tires and the corresponding TPMS transmitter IDs into the memory.
[0051] In a specific implementation, the memory can be a flash memory, which stores the preset tire pressure values of multiple tires and their corresponding TPMS transmitter IDs, so that they can be directly called up later.
[0052] S2, the TPMS receiver receives radio frequency signals emitted by the TPMS transmitters of multiple tires, takes the radio frequency signal with the strongest signal strength as the target radio frequency signal, and obtains the target TPMS transmitter ID corresponding to the target radio frequency signal.
[0053] In practice, the tire to be inflated is accurately located by comparing signal strength (e.g., if the signal of the right front tire is stronger than that of the other tires, then the right front tire is the tire to be inflated), thus avoiding the risk of incorrect inflation (e.g., avoiding the rear tire being inflated into the front tire by mistake).
[0054] S3, obtain the preset tire pressure value corresponding to the target TPMS transmitter ID.
[0055] In specific implementation, based on the preset tire pressure values of multiple tires and the corresponding TPMS transmitter IDs obtained in step S1, the preset tire pressure value corresponding to the target TPMS transmitter ID is determined.
[0056] In some preferred embodiments, the above step "obtaining the preset tire pressure value corresponding to the target TPMS transmitter ID" specifically includes the following steps: querying the preset tire pressure value corresponding to the target TPMS transmitter ID from the memory.
[0057] In practice, the memory stores data in a structure that binds TPMS transmitter ID to preset tire pressure value (e.g., ID: A1 corresponds to 2.5 Bar). When querying, the target value can be directly hit through the TPMS transmitter ID index, so that the preset tire pressure value corresponding to the target TPMS transmitter ID can be accurately retrieved and determined based on the target TPMS transmitter ID.
[0058] In some preferred embodiments, the air pump includes a display device. After the above step of "querying the preset tire pressure value corresponding to the target TPMS transmitter ID from the memory", the method further includes: displaying the preset tire pressure value corresponding to the target TPMS transmitter ID on the display device of the air pump.
[0059] In practice, users can visually verify whether the preset values displayed on the device (e.g., right front tire: 2.5 Bar) match their actual needs (e.g., the standard value marked on the vehicle sticker). If they do not match, the process can be manually terminated. For example, if a tire change causes the central control preset value to not update, users can intervene promptly if they notice the abnormal display value. By converting the preset tire pressure values retrieved by the system into externally visible information, a collaborative mechanism of "automatic recommendation - manual verification" is formed. Compared to solutions without a display, increasing information transparency enhances user trust in the automated process and provides a basis for handling anomalies.
[0060] S4, determine whether to perform automatic inflation.
[0061] In practice, it is determined whether to trigger the automatic inflation operation.
[0062] For example, in some preferred embodiments, the above step "determine whether to perform automatic inflation operation" specifically includes the following steps: determining whether an inflation command has been received; if an inflation command has been received, determining to perform automatic inflation operation.
[0063] In practice, the inflation command can be issued by the user by clicking the start button on the air pump; this invention does not specifically limit the method. Upon receiving the inflation command, the system determines to perform an automatic inflation operation.
[0064] In this invention, the execution node for automatic inflation is set as "user command trigger", forming a double insurance mechanism of "system suggestion + manual confirmation": the air pump automatically completes tire pressure identification and parameter loading (reducing the operational burden), but the final execution right is handed over to the user (improving safety).
[0065] S5, if an automatic inflation operation is performed, the automatic inflation operation is performed based on the preset tire pressure value corresponding to the target TPMS transmitter ID.
[0066] In practice, if it is determined that an automatic inflation operation is to be performed, the automatic inflation operation is performed based on the preset tire pressure value corresponding to the target TPMS transmitter ID.
[0067] For example, in some preferred embodiments, the above step "perform automatic inflation based on the preset tire pressure value corresponding to the target TPMS transmitter ID" specifically includes the following steps: determining whether the air pump is connected to the target tire; if the air pump is connected to the target tire, collecting the tire pressure of the target tire; if the tire pressure of the target tire is less than the preset tire pressure value corresponding to the target TPMS transmitter ID, starting inflation until the tire pressure of the target tire reaches the preset tire pressure value corresponding to the target TPMS transmitter ID and then stopping inflation.
[0068] In practice, the target tire refers to the tire corresponding to the target TPMS transmitter ID, i.e., the tire closest to the air pump. First, the physical connection between the air pump and the target tire is confirmed (e.g., the valve is properly engaged, which can be detected by a sensor at the air pump valve) to avoid ineffective inflation due to leaks. Second, tire pressure is collected in real time (e.g., data continuously transmitted from the TPMS receiver) and compared with a preset tire pressure value to dynamically control inflation (e.g., stopping immediately when the tire pressure reaches the preset value), preventing overinflation and the risk of tire blowout. The principle lies in establishing a closed-loop logic of "connection detection - data acquisition - feedback control": connection detection ensures the air circuit is sealed (physical layer protection), while tire pressure comparison achieves precise value control through negative feedback adjustment (stopping inflation at the set value). For example, when the initial tire pressure is 1.8 Bar and the preset value is 2.5 Bar, the system only inflates 0.7 Bar and automatically stops, with the error controlled within industry standards (e.g., ±0.1 Bar).
[0069] This invention proposes a tire inflation method, comprising: establishing a communication connection with the vehicle's central control device; receiving preset tire pressure values and corresponding TPMS transmitter IDs of multiple tires sent by the vehicle's central control device based on the communication connection; receiving radio frequency signals emitted by the TPMS transmitters of the multiple tires through the TPMS receiver, selecting the radio frequency signal with the strongest signal strength as the target radio frequency signal, and obtaining the target TPMS transmitter ID corresponding to the target radio frequency signal; obtaining the preset tire pressure value corresponding to the target TPMS transmitter ID; determining whether to perform an automatic inflation operation; if an automatic inflation operation is to be performed, performing the automatic inflation operation based on the preset tire pressure value corresponding to the target TPMS transmitter ID. This invention eliminates the need for users to manually set the target tire pressure and removes their reliance on tire expertise, achieving automated preset inflation and improving the user experience.
[0070] The tire inflation method provided by the present invention establishes a communication connection between the air pump and the vehicle's central control device to obtain the preset tire pressure value and TPMS transmitter ID of each tire, uses the TPMS receiver to receive radio frequency signals and filters the target signal with the strongest signal strength to identify the target tire ID, and then associates the preset tire pressure value to perform automatic inflation. This solution achieves full intelligentization of the inflation process: First, it directly obtains authoritative tire pressure parameters (such as manufacturer's recommended values) through communication with the vehicle's central control system, completely eliminating the burden of manually inputting the target tire pressure and removing the user's reliance on professional knowledge such as tire specifications and load conditions, making it especially suitable for non-professional groups such as ordinary car owners; Second, based on the principle of electromagnetic wave signal strength attenuation (the closer the distance, the stronger the signal), it accurately locates the tire to be inflated and matches its corresponding ID by comparing the radio frequency signal strength of the TPMS transmitters of different tires, avoiding the risk of mis-inflation caused by incorrect tire position identification in traditional solutions; Finally, after confirming the target tire and its preset tire pressure value, the system only requires a single user command to trigger the fully automatic inflation process, simplifying the multi-step process of "power on - manual setting - monitoring tire pressure - manual stop" in traditional inflation operations to "one-click start," significantly reducing operational complexity. The effectiveness of this technology relies on the synergistic effect of various technical features: the communication connection ensures the accuracy and timeliness of the preset tire pressure data, the signal strength filtering mechanism provides the physical basis for spatial positioning, and the automatic inflation control transforms the preset value into the operational endpoint through closed-loop execution. This not only solves the problem of the cumbersome manual setting process but also fundamentally eliminates tire pressure setting deviations caused by insufficient user understanding. It improves operational efficiency while ensuring inflation accuracy, ultimately achieving a substantial optimization of the user experience.
[0071] Corresponding to the above-described tire inflation method, the present invention also provides a tire inflation device. This tire inflation device includes a unit for performing the above-described tire inflation method, and can be configured in a desktop computer, tablet computer, laptop computer, or other terminal.
