Description

Title of the invention: Device for fixing an electronic component to a PNEUMATIC casing Field of invention

[0001] The present invention relates to devices for attaching an electronic component to a pneumatic casing for the purpose of conveying identification information on the pneumatic casing or physical parameters of the pneumatic casing measured by the electronic component during the life of the pneumatic casing. Technological background

[0002] The development of electronic objects in pneumatic envelopes makes it possible to make pneumatic envelopes connectable and connected, which causes the development of new services in order to optimize, for example, the use of the pneumatic envelope. However, these electronic components sometimes include thermomechanically fragile components, which requires the introduction of the electronic component in post-manufacturing of the pneumatic envelope. Thus, the introduction of a fixing device as an interface between the electronic component and the tire has emerged. These fixing devices are generally elastic so as not to strongly constrain the pneumatic envelope, to follow the strong deformations undergone by the pneumatic envelope during its use and to absorb the stresses transmitted to the electronic component.One of the most commonly used device designs is a patch having a sole for attaching the pneumatic casing and having a self-closing wall extending from the sole to an opening. The wall serves to grip or hold the electronic component in position within the device, the electronic component being tightly mounted within the wall which deforms elastically. The opening allows the electronic component to be inserted and extracted from the patch due to the elasticity of the material of the opening.

[0003] Document WO2018 / 150141A1 illustrates a patch of this nature. Although this patch specifically has a clamping system in order to limit the opening, it is in all respects consistent with a patch for fixing to a pneumatic casing of an electronic object. And, this type of patch sometimes presents a problem of mechanical strength of the system comprising the patch and the electronic member during use of the pneumatic casing on which this system is fixed, in particular when the patch, with or without electronics, is fixed to the tire after curing of the pneumatic casing by means of a bonding adhesive.

[0004] The following objects of the invention aim to solve the problems of mechanical resistance in endurance of the fixing patch which is at the same time economical, reliable and without impact on the operation of the electronic component housed within the fixing patch. Description of the invention

[0005] The invention relates to a device for fixing to a wall a pneumatic casing of an electronic component comprising: • a sole capable of being fixed to the wall of the pneumatic casing via an external surface; • a closed retaining wall, capable of retaining said electronic member, extending from the sole to a free edge and defining with said sole an open volume; • the volume, capable of accommodating at least part of said electronic member, being defined by an internal surface of said sole and by said holding wall, having an opening delimited by the free edge of said holding wall, capable of deforming to introduce or extract said electronic member from said volume, and the fixing device is characterized in that the external surface (15) of said sole (11) comprises a homogeneous network of hollow elements and projecting elements defining a maximum variation in height of between 10 pm and 200 pm

[0006] The fixing device has, by means of the network of hollow elements and projecting elements, a volume which will serve as a reserve to accommodate a glue-type product at the time of fixing this device to the wall of the tire. The term "homogeneous" is understood here to mean that the hollow elements and the projecting elements are distributed uniformly on the external surface of the sole. Thus, it is ensured to distribute uniformly the reserve of glue which will be applied to the external surface of the sole at the time of fixing the latter to the internal wall of the tire.Even if contact is made directly between the external surface of the sole and the internal wall of the tire casing, the network ensures, at the level of the hollow elements, the presence of glue between the external surface of the sole and the internal wall of the tire casing. By ensuring a minimum height between the bottom of the sole and a support plane of the sole, a certain thickness of glue is guaranteed across the entire network, uniformly distributed over the entire external surface of the sole, which makes it possible to control this average thickness of glue. Depending on the nature of the glue and the desired method of breaking the attachment, the network makes it possible to control the desired thickness. Indeed, the breakage of the attachment is either a break at the interface between, on the one hand, the glue and, on the other hand, one of the elements among the sole or the wall. internal part of the tire casing. This failure of the attachment can also be the decohesion of the internal structure of the glue itself depending on the type of stresses undergone by the glue. This decohesion of the glue structure is controlled, for certain products, by the thickness of the glue film. Thus, during the operation of gluing the fixing device on the internal wall of the tire casing, the network of hollow elements and protruding elements guarantees the location, the nature of the break and the threshold from which the break occurs.

[0007] Advantageously, the width of the hollow elements between two projecting elements is between 500 μm and 1500 μm.

[0008] Apart from the overall volume of glue that can be distributed homogeneously at the external surface of the sole, it is also necessary to ensure at each glue dot that the rupture mode is controlled so as not to cause a progressive rupture of the overall fixation of the sole by a weakening encountered by some dots causing a transfer of stress to the other dots leading to the ruin of the overall fixation of the sole on the internal wall of the tire casing.

[0009] Now the mechanical strength of this stud is controlled, on the one hand by the average variation in height between the bottom of the hollow elements and the top of the projecting elements and on the other hand by the distance separating two projecting elements which corresponds to the width of the hollow element. By controlling this second parameter, it is ensured that the dimensioning of each glue stud is satisfactory to guarantee the mechanical strength of the stud individually. Depending on the nature of the glue used for fixing the fixing device to the internal wall of the tire casing and the type of rupture desired for this fixing, the required width may vary.

[0010] Very advantageously, the contour of the external surface of the sole comprises a projection whose height is less than or equal to the maximum height of the projecting elements of the homogeneous network of the external surface of the sole.

[0011] The presence of this projection located on the contour of the external surface of the sole serves to prevent the glue from escaping through this location in the absence of the projection on the outside of the external surface of the sole. Thus, it is ensured that the quantity of glue placed on the external surface of the sole will remain under the sole although the internal wall of the tire casing has a concave shape. As a result, this projection guarantees the overall volume of glue present under the sole. Indeed, if the gluing of the external surface of the sole is greater than what is recommended, the average volume of glue will exceed the height of the projection which will then allow the excess to escape during the operation of gluing the fixing device to the internal wall of the tire. In addition, this projection during the gluing phase of the fixing device allows mechanical control of the quantity of glue deposited on the homogeneous network of elements hollow and protruding elements by scraping the glue deposited using a straight tool which can rest on the external surface of the protrusion.

[0012] Specifically, the protrusion on the contour of the outer surface has a width of less than 500 μm.

[0013] Even if the external surface of this projection, proportional to the width of the projection, does not contain glue or not enough to ensure secure adhesion of the projection to the internal wall of the pneumatic casing, the dimension of the network remains sufficient to ensure the mechanical hold of the fixing device with the pneumatic casing.

[0014] According to a first embodiment, the arrangement of the network of hollow elements and projecting elements is concentric around a single point on the external surface of the sole.

[0015] Specifically, the hollow volume defined by the network is between 30 mm3 and 120 mm3.

[0016] Advantageously, the external surface of the sole comprises at least 3 projecting elements.

[0017] This is a first embodiment of the homogeneous network where the network is constructed by projecting elements regularly spaced from each other radially by a hollow. These elements are cylindrical shapes which are concentric around the same point of the external surface along an axis perpendicular to the external surface of the sole. These cylindrical elements have for example a section of the circle or ellipse type. This embodiment of the homogeneous network of hollows is well suited for production through a molding of the fixing device although other methods can be used. Indeed, it is sufficient to produce on the matrix of the mold defining the external surface of the sole, the imprint of the concentric homogeneous network so that it is produced at the same time as the manufacture of the fixing device. This has the advantage of making the projecting elements of the network integral with the sole of the fixing device.In addition, the final device with its homogeneous network is easily demolded due to the concentricity of these elements, even with regard to the external groove. In addition, the molding process ensures repeatability of the homogeneous network and this at a lower manufacturing cost. However, this technique is suitable for a residual hollow volume at the level of the fixing device which is quite high, which is perfectly well suited to certain types of glue.

[0018] According to a second embodiment, the network of hollow elements and projecting elements is arranged in the form of a checkerboard whose adjacent tiles two by two are a hollow element and a projecting element.

[0019] Advantageously, the hollow volume defined by the network is between 1 mm3 and 10 mm3.

[0020] This is a second embodiment of the homogeneous network where the network comprises a checkerboard whose squares correspond alternately to a protruding element and a hollow element. Preferably, this checkerboard is defined according to two orthogonal directions, but it is sufficient that the two directions form an angle of 30 degrees between them for this to be sufficiently effective, in particular for cleaning the surface before gluing it.

[0021] This checkerboard is advantageously produced after the manufacture of the fixing patch, generally obtained by a molding process. This may be a chemical process after application of an activating agent through a stencil positioned on the external surface of the sole. The application of a reagent to the entire external surface of the sole then highlights the checkerboard predefined by the shape of the stencil. It may also be a mechanical process where a brush with regularly spaced rows of stiff bristles is rubbed in two well-controlled directions on the external surface of the sole. After the step of producing the checkerboard, it is appropriate to clean the external surface of the sole in order to remove material residues and to make the external surface of the sole chemically inert before applying the glue.Finally, it can be a heat treatment by means of a laser whose beam describes a succession of straight lines spaced from each other by a certain distance constituting the width of the furrowed elements. The passage of the laser in two intersecting directions then generates a homogeneous checkerboard of hollow squares and protruding squares. This last process makes it possible to produce hollows of small dimensions both in depth and in width.

[0022] The invention also relates to an arrangement of a pneumatic casing comprising a crown (S), two sidewalls (F) extending from the crown (S) and ending in two beads (B) capable of being connected to a wheel and a fixing device in which the fixing device is fixed to one of the surfaces of the pneumatic casing, preferably to the innermost wall of the pneumatic casing.

[0023] The arrangement of the pneumatic casing and the fixing device is the purpose of the fixing device by nature. Here, in order to preserve the electronic member intended to be inserted into the fixing device, it is preferable that the fixing device is located inside the fluid cavity delimited by the internal wall of the pneumatic casing and the wheel rim on which the pneumatic casing is mounted.

[0024] Advantageously, the fixing device is fixed at the top (S) of the pneumatic envelope, preferably under a groove located towards the outside of the vehicle when the pneumatic envelope is mounted on a transport vehicle.

[0025] For functionalities for measuring the deformation of the pneumatic casing which can be observed on the signals of various sensors of the electronic member intended to be introduced into the fixing device, it is more advantageous for the fixing device and therefore the associated electronic member to be located at the top (S) of the pneumatic casing. For example, a signal from a shock sensor or accelerometer in the radial direction makes it possible to detect the contact area of ​​the pneumatic casing with the ground. The information associated with the length of the contact area makes it possible to estimate the static load carried by the pneumatic casing as well as its instantaneous rotation speed.The enhanced adhesion of the fixing device with the internal wall of the pneumatic envelope qualitatively, or even quantitatively, increases the estimation of these parameters of the pneumatic envelope by improving the sensitivity of the sensitive sensors of the electronic component housed within the fixing device.

[0026] Very advantageously, the part of the wall located furthest inside the pneumatic envelope which is to accommodate the fixing device comprises a network of hollow elements and projecting elements comprising a maximum variation in height of between 10 μm and 100 μm.

[0027] The fact of constituting a first homogeneous network of hollow elements and projecting elements at the level of the external surface of the sole guarantees a certain quantity of glue at the interface between the external surface of the sole and the internal wall of the tire casing. However, in the case where the volume of glue thus constituted is not sufficient to ensure the mechanical strength of each glue pad corresponding to a hollow element, it may be envisaged to supplement this individual volume with a second homogeneous network of hollow elements and projecting elements at the level of the wall of the tire casing. Statistically, this second homogeneous network can create connecting pads between the two components at the level of the projecting elements of the external surface of the sole, which makes the film of glue between the two elements more uniform despite the presence of the two homogeneous networks.

[0028] Preferably, this second homogeneous network is carried out after a step of stripping the internal wall of the tire casing at the right of the receiving zone of the fixing device. This makes it possible to optimize the surface condition of the internal wall of the tire casing before the fixing device is fixed. In addition, advantageously, the second homogeneous network is not the inverse image of the first homogeneous network of the external surface of the sole. If the first homogeneous network is concentric, it is advisable for the second network to be rather a checkerboard. And if the first network is a checkerboard, it is advisable for the second homogeneous network to be a checkerboard in which each of the two directions does not coincide with one of the directions of the first checkerboard.

[0029] Advantageously, the fixing of said fixing device is carried out by means of an adhesive included in the group comprising cyanoacrylates and silanes.

[0030] For elastomeric materials of the pneumatic casing having a relatively airtight internal wall, these adhesives can be used while having a mechanical strength compatible with these said materials for these thermomechanical stresses conventionally undergone by a pneumatic casing in service.

[0031] The invention also relates to an arrangement of a pneumatic envelope and a fixing device fixed on the internal wall of the pneumatic envelope in which an electronic member is inserted into the fixing device of the arrangement.

[0032] Preferably, the pneumatic envelope of the arrangement is mounted on a wheel, preferably in an inflated state.

[0033] This is the ultimate purpose of the fixing device, i.e. to accommodate an electronic component when this device is fixed to the internal wall of a pneumatic casing. Indeed, the improved fixing ensured by the specific structure of the fixing device at the external surface of the sole guarantees a usable signal level at the sensors of the electronic component making it possible to retrieve information intrinsic to the pneumatic casing in operation without being too disturbed by the presence of the fixing device. Brief description of the drawings

[0034] The invention will be better understood on reading the following description given solely by way of non-limiting example and made with reference to the appended figures in which the same reference numbers designate identical parts throughout and in which: • [Fig.l] shows a perspective view of a device for attaching an electronic component to a tire; • [Fig.2] shows a bottom view and a side view of the same fixing device according to a first embodiment of the invention; • [Fig. 3] shows a bottom view of a fixing device in a second embodiment of the invention • [Fig.4] shows a perspective and sectional view of a pneumatic envelope equipped with a fixing device according to the invention. Detailed description of embodiments

[0035] [Fig. 1] is a perspective view of a device 10 for fixing an electronic component to a pneumatic casing of the state of the art. The fixing device 10 is here of the open type, that is to say that the insertion or extraction of the electronic component from the fixing device is carried out by means of an orifice which is accessible even when the fixing device 10 is fixed to the casing. pneumatic. As a result, the operations of insertion or extraction of the electronic member of the fixing device 10 can take place directly on the pneumatic casing.

[0036] This fixing device 10 has a sole 11 whose external surface has the function of fixing to the surface of a pneumatic casing using technical solutions of the state of the art well known to those skilled in the art. The fixing device 10 is here of revolution around an axis of rotation perpendicular to the sole 11. This sole 11 is adjoined by a holding wall 12, which is closed over 360 degrees. This holding wall 12 has an opening 16 delimited by a free edge 13 of the holding wall 12 of the fixing device 10. The orifice 16 opens onto an open volume 20 delimited by the internal surface 14 of the sole 11 and the internal surface 17 of the holding wall 12. The orifice 16 is deformable to allow the insertion and extraction of an electronic component from the open volume 20. The elastic property of the material of this holding wall 12 allows this enlargement of the orifice 16 for the insertion and extraction phases.In addition, it also provides a holding or clamping force on the electronic component when it is housed in the open volume 20.

[0037] [Fig.2] shows the network of projecting elements and hollow elements of the external surface 15 of the sole 11.

[0038] This network is in the form of concentric elements around a central point of the external surface 15 of the sole 11. This forms a network that is inherently homogeneous in which the volume of hollows is equally distributed angularly and radially around this central point. The higher the number of alternations between hollow elements 101 and the projecting elements 102, the more uniformly the distribution of hollows is distributed over the external surface 15 of the sole 11. Here, the elements, both projecting 102 and hollow 101, have identical dimensions between them, depending on their type, in terms of width and height. In order to improve the homogeneity of the distribution of glue across the network, the width of the hollows 101 could be scalable according to the radial distance of the hollow element 101 from the central point.

[0039] The outer contour of the external surface 15 of the sole 1 is constituted by a projection 21 whose height is less than or equal to the maximum height 23 of the projecting elements 102 relative to the depth 22 of the hollow elements 101. Thus, this projection 21 constitutes a barrier delimiting the glue to the external surface 15 of the sole 11. This ensures that the glue present between the external surface 15 of the sole 11 and the internal wall of the tire will not exceed a certain volume. In addition, by controlling the quantity of glue applied to the external surface 15 of the sole 11, the volume of glue for the connection of the fixing device 10 to the tire is then controlled. Depending on the type of glue used for fixing the device to the wall of the pneumatic envelope and the nature of the desired rupture of the connection, it is possible to adjust the depth of the hollow elements 101 to obtain the right type of rupture both in terms of location and in terms of rupture trigger threshold.

[0040] [Fig.3] represents the network of projecting elements and recessed elements of the external surface 15 of the sole 11 according to a second embodiment.

[0041] This network is in the form of a checkerboard consisting of alternating hollow 201 and protruding 202 squares on the external surface 15 of the sole 11. This forms a network that is inherently homogeneous in which the hollow volume is equally distributed over the external surface 15 of the sole. Here, the elements, both protruding 202 and hollow 201, have identical dimensions in terms of peripheral dimension. In order to improve the homogeneity of the distribution of glue across the network, it is then appropriate to reduce the intrinsic dimension of the squares, which ensures greater finesse of distribution of the glue at the level of the squares. Here, the checkerboard is obtained by passing a metal object along two perpendicular directions to the external surface 15 of the sole 11 for a high hollow depth.For shallower depths, heat treatment of the outer surface 15 of the sole using a laser beam following a rectilinear scan of the laser relative to the outer surface 15 can be considered. It is then sufficient to define two orthogonal scanning directions of the laser to obtain the orthogonal checkerboard. A cleaning step of the outer surface 15 of the sole is recommended before applying the glue. Of course, it is possible to create a checkerboard of diamonds instead of rectangles. However, it is preferable that the angle formed by the two directions of the checkerboard makes an angle of at least 30 degrees to guarantee cleaning efficiency in the most acute angles of the diamond.

[0042] The outer contour of the external surface 15 of the sole 1 is constituted by a projection 21 whose height is less than or equal to the maximum height 23 of the projecting elements 202 relative to the depth 22 of the hollow elements 201. Thus, this projection 21 constitutes a barrier delimiting the glue to the external surface 15 of the sole 11. This ensures that the glue present between the external surface 15 of the sole 11 and the internal wall of the tire does not exceed a certain volume. In addition, by controlling the quantity of glue applied to the external surface 15 of the sole 11, the volume of glue for the connection of the fixing device 10 to the tire is then controlled.Depending on the type of glue used to fix the device to the wall of the pneumatic casing and the nature of the desired rupture of the connection, it is possible to adjust the depth of the hollow elements 201 to obtain the correct type of rupture both in terms of location and in terms of rupture trigger threshold.

[0043] [Fig. 4] shows a section of a pneumatic tire 100, which is also a pneumatic casing, according to the invention comprising a crown S extended by two sidewalls F and ending in two beads B. In this case, the tire 100 is intended to be mounted on a wheel which is not shown in this figure, at the level of the two beads B. A closed cavity is thus delimited, containing at least one fluid under pressure, delimited both by the second radially inner surface 130 of the pneumatic tire 100 and by the outer surface of the wheel. The pneumatic tire 100 also comprises a first surface 140 radially outer of the pneumatic tire 100.

[0044] The reference axis 201 will be noted corresponding to the reference axis or natural axis of rotation of the tire 100 and the median plane 211, perpendicular to the reference axis 201 and equidistant from the two beads B. The intersection of the reference axis 201 by the median plane 211 determines the center of the tire 200. A Cartesian reference will be defined at the center of the tire 200 consisting of the reference axis 201, a vertical axis 203 perpendicular to the ground and a longitudinal axis 202 perpendicular to the other two axes. And, we will define the axial plane 212 passing through the reference axis 201 and the longitudinal axis 202, parallel to the ground plane and perpendicular to the median plane 211. Finally, we will call vertical plane 213, the plane perpendicular to both the median plane 211 and the axial plane 212 passing through the vertical axis 203.

[0045] Any material point of the tire 100 is uniquely defined by its cylindrical coordinates (Y, R, 0). The scalar Y represents the axial distance to the center of the tire 200 in the direction of the reference axis 201 defined by the orthogonal projection of the material point of the tire 100 onto the reference axis 201. A radial plane 214 will be defined making an angle 0 relative to the vertical plane 213 around the reference axis 201. The material point of the tire 100 is identified in this radial plane 214 by the distance R to the center of the tire 200 in the direction perpendicular to the reference axis 201 identified by the orthogonal projection of this material point onto the radial axis 204. The unit vector perpendicular to the radial plane 214 and forming a direct trihedron with the unit vectors of the axial 201 and radial 204 directions represents the circumferential direction of the tire 100.

[0046] This tire 100 has on the radially inner surface 130 a fixing device 10 which is fixed to the surface 130 by gluing according to the usual techniques of the state of the art when the fixing device is made of elastomer material. The foxing device 10 is fixed at the top S of the tire casing 100, which improves its endurance since the fixing device 10 thus positioned provides less worry during the operations of mounting or dismounting the wheel on the pneumatic casing 100. Indeed, the fixing device 10 is located in an area remote from the beads B of the pneumatic casing 100. Here, the fixing device 10 is equipped with an electronic member within its open volume which constitutes a housing adapted to receive the electronic member. As a result, the pneumatic casing 100 is here ready to be mounted on a wheel to constitute a mounted assembly. The electronic member can deliver various functions such as the identification of certain components such as the electronic member itself, the tire. But the electronic member can also be equipped with a pressure and / or temperature sensor in order to evaluate the inflation pressure of the mounted assembly.Finally, it can also be equipped with a sensor that directly measures the curvature of the tire casing, such as an accelerometer or a flexometer, allowing for the measurement of tire usage parameters such as angular speed, mileage traveled, and applied static load. All of these parameters can be used to identify the tire's performance, such as wear, grip, or intrinsic parameters of the ground on which the tire is rolling.
