Description

Method for manufacturing a tire with integrated electronic devices and a tire with integrated electronic devices manufactured by the method

[0001] The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a tire with an integrated electronic device and a tire with an integrated electronic device manufactured by the method, and more particularly, to a method for manufacturing a tire with an integrated electronic device for facilitating attachment of an electronic device during the manufacturing process and minimizing damage to the electronic device, and to a tire with an integrated electronic device manufactured by the method.

[0002]

[0003] Recently, various methods of attaching sensors inside tires are being devised to receive real-time information on the condition of tires, which is directly related to the safety of vehicle passengers.

[0004] For example, Korean Patent No. 0614520 discloses a method of directly attaching a tire-mounted sensor to a tire using an epoxy adhesive that is viscous at room temperature and hardens below 100°C.

[0005] This method requires at least several hours to 24 hours for the adhesive to harden, so it is cumbersome in that it must be attached when the tire is released or attached in advance when the tire is replaced, which is suitable for the tire manufacturing process.

[0006] Additionally, since the sensor is exposed to the outside, there is a high possibility that foreign substances inside the tire may damage the sensor.

[0007] U.S. Patent No. 9,016,339 describes a method of installing a fastener capable of attaching a sensor to the upper part of the inner carcass of a tire, fixing it by vulcanization, and then attaching the sensor.

[0008] The sensor can be replaced using a clamp, and the adhesive strength is improved compared to using an adhesive by using a curing method, but there is a disadvantage in that the manufacturing process is additional because the clamp must be inserted before the curing process, and there is a disadvantage in that the pressure may be applied unevenly due to the clamp during curing.

[0009] U.S. Patent Publication No. 2014-0144210 uses a method of fitting a fixture inside a tire to attach a sensor, and then attaching and attaching the sensor and upper and lower cases to this fitting structure.

[0010] This method has the advantage of being able to firmly fix the sensor and allow for sensor replacement, but because the inside of the tire must be damaged during the process of fitting the fixture to fix the sensor, durability for long-term driving may be a problem.

[0011] U.S. Patent Publication No. 2009-0071249 discloses a method for inserting an acceleration sensor into a tire. This method eliminates the risk of the sensor detaching due to tire movement, but it does introduce foreign matter into the tire structure, which could impact durability.

[0053] FIG. 1 is a flowchart of a method for manufacturing a tire with an integrated electronic device according to a first embodiment of the present invention.

[0054] Referring to FIG. 1, a method for manufacturing a tire with an integrated electronic device according to the first embodiment may include a step of indicating an attachment location of an electronic device on a semi-finished product (S10), a step of attaching an electronic device to the attachment location (S20), a step of covering the attached electronic device with a rubber patch made of the same material as the semi-finished product (S30), a step of wrapping the semi-finished product around a forming drum to complete forming (S40), a step of combining the formed semi-finished products to form a tire (S50), a step of attaching a manufacturing barcode to a green tire (S60), a step of vulcanizing the tire to become integrated with the electronic device (S70), a step of matching the manufacturing barcode with the tag ID of the electronic device by reading it and storing it in a database (S80), a step of calling information recorded in the electronic device from a tire manufacturing information system and storing it in a database based on the tag ID (S90), and a step of encrypting additional information recorded in the database based on the tag ID stored through a network API and providing it to a user (S100).

[0055] Below, each step of the manufacturing method of a tire with integrated electronic devices is described in detail.

[0056] FIG. 2 is an exemplary diagram showing the configuration of an electronic device according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 3 is an exemplary diagram showing a plate-type electronic device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0057] Figures 4 and 5 are exemplary views showing a first point and a second point of a tire according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0058] Figures 6 and 7 are exemplary views showing a first point, a second point, and a third point of a tire according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0059] Referring further to FIGS. 2 to 7, first, in the step (S10) of indicating the attachment location of the electronic device on the semi-finished product, the location where the electronic device (140) is to be attached may be indicated before the semi-finished product is wound on the drum.

[0060] At this time, the guideline for the attachment location of the electronic device (140) may be provided in a manner that an infrared ray or a separate line is marked on the semi-finished product.

[0061] The attachment location of the electronic device (140) may be arranged to be located between the first point (110) where the bead wire and the bead wire rubber meet, the second point (120) which is the end of the bead filler, and the third point (130) which is the end of the carcass and the belt, or between the second point (120) and the third point (130).

[0062] More specifically, when the electronic device (140) is positioned between the first point (110) and the second point (120), the attachment location may be indicated so as to be positioned at a point that is 10 to 80% of the length from the first point (110) as the starting point to the second point (120).

[0063] In addition, when the electronic device (140) is positioned between the second point (120) and the third point (130), the attachment location may be indicated so as to be positioned at a point that is 15 to 95% of the length from the second point (120) to the third point (130).

[0064] The attachment location of the electronic device (140) may be provided at a location with the lowest contact shear strength within the above range, and may be selected to avoid areas vulnerable to durability.

[0065] For example, the attachment location of the electronic device (140) may be selected as a point with a radius exceeding 30 mm and less than 60 mm from the first point (110), which is the point where the end of the bead wire and the bead wire rubber meet.

[0066] More preferably, the attachment location of the electronic device (140) may be selected to be a point with a radius of 41 to 55 mm based on the first point (110) where the end of the bead wire and the bead wire rubber meet, while being attached to the surface of the inner liner.

[0067] Meanwhile, the shape of the electronic device (140) is not limited, but may be provided in a form having at least one side of a polygon, and may be provided so that the surface to which it is attached is formed in a flat shape. The electronic device (140) provided in this manner may be provided so that, when a rubber patch is attached as a semi-topping, it is wrapped by the rubber patch without allowing air to enter.

[0068] The total length of the electronic device (140) may be set to be 45 to 75 mm, and the width and thickness may be set to be within 3 mm. Preferably, the width and thickness of the electronic device (140) may be set to be 0.4 to 0.6 mm.

[0069] Additionally, the electronic device (140) may include an electronic substrate (141), an antenna (142), and a database (143).

[0070] The above electronic substrate (141) may be provided as a PCB substrate, and may be provided so that electronic chips and circuits are formed. The above electronic substrate (141) may be provided using a single material of a polymer such as epoxy, or a combination of various polymers such as a synthetic resin of epoxy and phenol.

[0071] The above antenna (142) is designed to enable unidirectional or bidirectional transmission and reception of data, and may be designed to generate power. In addition, the antenna (142) may be embedded in and combined with the electronic substrate (141), or may be integrated through printing, pasting, or connecting operations.

[0072] Additionally, a coating material may be applied on the antenna (142) for protection and adhesive bonding, and the coating material may be formed of a single polymer such as epoxy or a combination of two or more polymers.

[0073] The above database (143) includes a plurality of memories, and each memory may be configured to separately store tag ID, tire ID, and tire information.

[0074] To this end, in one embodiment of the present invention, the database (143) is composed of a first memory (141), a second memory (142), and a third memory (143), but the number of memories is not limited thereto.

[0075] The memory for recording the tire ID may be comprised of 256 bits or less of memory and may include manufacturer, item information, and serial barcode.

[0076] Additionally, among the above memories, a memory of 2,000 bits or less may be provided for recording additional tire information, and the memory may be provided for additionally recording tire information.

[0077] The data stored in the memories of the above database (143) may be arranged to use hexadecimal or binary numbers.

[0078] The above electronic device (140) may include an RFID tag and may be provided as a spring antenna type, a film type, or other types. In addition, it is typically provided to use a band of 850 to 950 MHz, but the frequency is not limited thereto.

[0079] Additionally, the electronic device (140) may be provided as a plate-type RFID.

[0080] For example, the electronic device (140) provided as a plate-type RFID may be provided in the form of an electronic device (340) as illustrated in Fig. 3. Specifically, the electronic device (340) may be provided in the form of a base (341), a main chip (342) provided on the base (341), and an antenna (343) printed on the base (341).

[0081] The base (341) may be formed of a dielectric. The dielectric may be formed of FR-4 PCB or FPCB. FR-4 PCB or FPCB has a high dielectric constant compared to air. In addition, the base (341) may be formed in a band shape whose length is longer than its width. In this case, the base (341) is formed with a minimum width, thickness, and length that does not damage the rubber of the tire.

[0082] The main chip (342) may be arranged to be mounted on the center of the upper surface of the base (341). The main chip (342) may be mounted on the base (341) in a flip chip form. When the main chip (342) is mounted on the base (341) in a flip chip form, wire bonding is omitted, eliminating the need for soldering, thereby simplifying the manufacturing process. In addition, the connection portion of the main chip (342) and the antenna (343) may be connected with a conductor pattern, thereby increasing the connection reliability of the connection portion of the main chip (342) and the antenna (343).

[0083] The above antenna (343) can be manufactured as an antenna with a three-dimensional pattern of left-right symmetry to secure the maximum antenna length on a limited base (341).

[0084] The above antenna (343) may include an upper pattern (344), a lower pattern (345), and a via hole (346).

[0085] The upper pattern (344) is formed on the upper surface of the base (341), and the lower pattern (345) is formed on the lower surface of the base (341). The via hole (346) is formed penetrating the base (341), and may be provided to connect a plurality of upper patterns (344) and a plurality of lower patterns (345) to form a pattern inside the base (341).

[0086] The upper pattern (344) and the lower pattern (345) can be formed by attaching copper foil to the upper and lower surfaces of the base (341) and etching them, or by forming a seed layer and a plating layer on the upper and lower surfaces of the base (341) and then etching them.

[0087] A plating layer may be further formed in the via hole (346) connecting the upper pattern (344) and the lower pattern (345).

[0088] The antenna (343) in this plate type is arranged to form a closed loop with a certain pattern, and the pitch (P) at this time may mean the interval of the closed loop including one each of the upper pattern (344) and the lower pattern (345).

[0089] Next, in the step (S20) where the electronic device is attached to the attachment location, the electronic device (140) can be arranged to be attached to the selected attachment location.

[0090] Figures 8 and 9 are exemplary diagrams showing the process of attaching an electronic device to a tire.

[0091] Referring further to FIGS. 8 and 9, the electronic device (140) may be arranged to be attached to the surface of the inner liner (210), which is the attachment location.

[0092] And then, in the step (S30) where the attached electronic device is covered with a rubber patch of the same material as the semi-finished product, a rubber patch (220) may be added to the exposed surface of the electronic device (140) attached to the inner liner (210) so as to be semi-topped. That is, the electronic device (140) may be provided so as to be inserted into the interior of the inner liner (210) by being semi-topped by the rubber patch (220).

[0093] And at this time, the rubber patch (220) can be made of the same material as the inner liner (210).

[0094] Next, in the step (S40) where the semi-finished product is wound around the forming drum and forming is completed, the semi-finished product to which the electronic device (140) is attached may be wound around the forming drum and forming is completed.

[0095] Next, in the step (S50) where the semi-finished products that have been formed are combined to form a tire, the semi-finished products that have been formed can be arranged to be combined to form a tire (100).

[0096] Next, in the step (S60) of attaching a manufacturing barcode to a green tire, the manufacturing barcode may be attached to the tire (100) on which molding has been completed.

[0097] Fig. 10 is an exemplary diagram showing a state in which an electronic device is integrated into a tire according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0098] Referring to FIG. 10, in the next step (S70) where the tire is vulcanized and integrated with the electronic device, the formed tire (100) is vulcanized, and in the process, the tire (100) and the electronic device (140) can be integrated.

[0099] Next, in the step (S80) of reading and matching the manufacturing barcode and the tag ID of the electronic device and storing them in a database, information matching the manufacturing barcode attached to the tire (100) and the tag ID of the electronic device (140) may be stored in the database (143). Accordingly, the electronic device (140) and the tire (100) can be mutually matched.

[0100] Next, in the step (S90) of calling information recorded in the electronic device from the tire manufacturing information system and storing it in a database based on the tag ID, the electronic device (140) may be arranged to receive information related to the tire (100) corresponding to the manufacturing barcode from the tire manufacturing information system provided on an external server and store the received information based on the tag ID.

[0101] Next, in the step (S100) of providing the user with encrypted additional information recorded in the database based on the tag ID stored through the network API, the information requested by the user may be arranged to be stored in the database (143) as a binary number of 96 bits or 512 to 2,000. In addition, the information on the tire (100) stored in the database (143) may be arranged to be encrypted and provided to the user through the network API.

[0102] The present invention, thus prepared, can be used to provide data online by pairing the manufacturing barcode of the tire (100) and the tag ID of the electronic device (140).

[0103]

[0104] Hereinafter, a method for manufacturing a tire with an integrated electronic device according to a second embodiment will be described.

[0105] Figure 11 is a flowchart of a method for manufacturing a tire with an integrated electronic device according to a second embodiment of the present invention.

[0106] Referring to FIG. 11, the method for manufacturing a tire with an integrated electronic device according to the second embodiment includes a step of partially winding a semi-finished product on a forming drum (S110), a step of indicating an attachment location of an electronic device while the semi-finished product is wound on the forming drum (S120), a step of attaching an electronic device to the attachment location (S130), a step of covering the attached electronic device with a rubber patch of the same material as the semi-finished product (S140), a step of completing forming by winding the semi-finished product on the forming drum (S150), a step of forming a tire by combining the formed semi-finished products (S160), a step of attaching a manufacturing barcode to a green tire (S170), a step of vulcanizing the tire and integrating it with the electronic device (S180), a step of matching the manufacturing barcode with the tag ID of the electronic device by reading it and storing it in a database (S190), a step of calling information recorded in the electronic device from a tire manufacturing information system and storing it in a database based on the tag ID (S200), and a step of storing information based on the tag ID stored through the API of the network. It may include a step (S210) of encrypting additional information recorded in the database and providing it to the user.

[0107] Referring further to FIGS. 2 to 7, first, in the step (S110) where the semi-finished product is partially wound around the forming drum, the semi-finished product may be arranged to be partially wound around the forming drum.

[0108] Next, in the step (S120) where the attachment location of the electronic device is displayed while the semi-finished product is wrapped around the forming drum, the location where the electronic device (140) is to be attached can be displayed while the semi-finished product is only partially wrapped around the forming drum.

[0109] At this time, the guideline for the attachment location of the electronic device (140) may be provided in a manner that an infrared ray or a separate line is marked on the semi-finished product.

[0110] The attachment location of the electronic device (140) may be arranged to be located between the first point (110) where the bead wire and the bead wire rubber meet, the second point (120) which is the end of the bead filler, and the third point (130) which is the end of the carcass and the belt, or between the second point (120) and the third point (130).

[0111] More specifically, when the electronic device (140) is positioned between the first point (110) and the second point (120), the attachment location may be indicated so as to be positioned at a point that is 10 to 80% of the length from the first point (110) as the starting point to the second point (120).

[0112] In addition, when the electronic device (140) is positioned between the second point (120) and the third point (130), the attachment location may be indicated so as to be positioned at a point that is 15 to 95% of the length from the second point (120) to the third point (130).

[0113] The attachment location of the electronic device (140) may be provided at a location with the lowest contact shear strength within the above range, and may be selected to avoid areas vulnerable to durability.

[0114] For example, the attachment location of the electronic device (140) may be selected as a point with a radius exceeding 30 mm and less than 60 mm from the first point (110), which is the point where the end of the bead wire and the bead wire rubber meet.

[0115] More preferably, the attachment location of the electronic device (140) may be selected to be a point with a radius of 41 to 55 mm based on the first point (110) where the end of the bead wire and the bead wire rubber meet, while being attached to the surface of the inner liner.

[0116] Meanwhile, the shape of the electronic device (140) is not limited, but may be provided in a form having at least one side of a polygon, and may be provided so that the surface to which it is attached is formed in a flat shape. The electronic device (140) provided in this manner may be provided so that, when a rubber patch is attached as a semi-topping, it is wrapped by the rubber patch without allowing air to enter.

[0117] The total length of the electronic device (140) may be set to be 45 to 75 mm, and the width and thickness may be set to be within 3 mm. Preferably, the width and thickness of the electronic device (140) may be set to be 0.4 to 0.6 mm.

[0118] The configuration of the above electronic device (140) is the same as described above, so a detailed description will be omitted.

[0119] Next, in the step (S130) where the electronic device is attached to the attachment location, the electronic device (140) may be arranged to be attached to the selected attachment location. That is, the electronic device (140) may be arranged to be attached while the semi-finished product is partially wound around the forming drum.

[0120] Figures 8 and 9 are exemplary diagrams showing the process of attaching an electronic device to a tire.

[0121] Referring further to FIGS. 8 and 9, the electronic device (140) may be arranged to be attached to the surface of the inner liner (210), which is the attachment location.

[0122] And then, in the step (S140) where the attached electronic device is covered with a rubber patch of the same material as the semi-finished product, a rubber patch (220) may be added to the exposed surface of the electronic device (140) attached to the inner liner (210) so as to be semi-topped.
