Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
It is difficult to distinguish the position of a communication device embedded within a tire or mounted on an inner surface of a tire from outside the tire in a dark surrounding environment.
Innovation Solution
A tire with a label area on its outer surface that indicates the position of the communication device, featuring a light emission area to facilitate identification in dark environments.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a communication device is embedded within the tire body or mounted on the inner surface, then the tire can perform communication functions, but the position of the communication device cannot be distinguished from outside the tire in dark environments
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies a light-emitting material to the outer surface of the tire at the position corresponding to the communication device. This material can emit light or change color to indicate the position of the communication device, making it visible from outside the tire even in dark environments. This directly addresses the visibility problem while maintaining the communication function.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a light-emitting material as an intermediary element between the communication device and the external environment. This mediator (light-emitting material) translates the position information of the embedded communication device into visible light signals that can be observed from outside the tire, solving the detection difficulty without affecting the communication device's functionality.
2Stability of the object's composition
If the communication device is embedded within the tire body, then the tire structure remains intact, but the position indication becomes difficult in dark environments
Solution Approach 1:
The light-emitting material is applied to the outer surface of the tire body at the position corresponding to the embedded communication device. This material emits light or changes color to indicate the communication device position, maintaining tire structure integrity while solving the visibility issue in dark environments.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent adds a new dimension of visibility by introducing light emission properties to the tire surface. Instead of trying to make the embedded communication device visible through the tire material, the solution adds light-emitting capability at the corresponding outer surface position, creating visibility in the optical dimension without compromising structural integrity.
