Tire Surface Indicator for Embedded Electronic Tag Removal
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing tire technologies face challenges in efficiently identifying and removing an embedded electronic tag for recycling or disposal, as embedding the tag within the tire necessitates hollowing out the tire, making it difficult to locate and separate.
Innovation Solution
A tire design that includes an electronic tag embedded inside the tire and an indicator on the surface, such as a different-colored area, to visually indicate the tag's position, allowing for easy recognition and removal.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If an electronic tag is embedded within the tire, then information regarding the tire can be provided to external terminals, but it becomes difficult to locate and remove the electronic tag for recycling
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a visual copy or representation of the electronic tag's location on the tire surface. An indicator pattern is applied to the outer surface that corresponds to the position and shape of the embedded electronic tag, allowing easy visual detection and localization without requiring complex detection equipment or procedures.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediate visual indicator as a mediator between the embedded electronic tag and the external observer. This indicator pattern serves as a intermediary element that translates the hidden tag position into visible information on the tire surface, facilitating easy location and subsequent removal for recycling.
2Strength
If the electronic tag is embedded deep within the tire, then it is securely fixed, but it becomes difficult to remove and separate for recycling
Solution Approach 1:
The indicator pattern on the surface creates a visual map of the embedded tag's position and dimensions. This copying of the tag's spatial information to the surface allows recyclers to accurately locate and remove the tag without needing to search through or damage the tire structure, easing the recycling process while maintaining secure embedding during use.
3Device complexity
If no indicator is provided on the tire surface, then the tire structure remains simple, but it becomes difficult to identify where to hold a sensor for information acquisition
Solution Approach 1:
The indicator pattern on the tire surface serves as a visual copy or guide for the electronic tag's location. This allows users to easily identify where to position a sensor or terminal device for information acquisition without adding complex structural elements to the tire, maintaining simplicity while improving operability.
Solution Approach 2:
The indicator pattern utilizes visual differentiation (such as color changes or contrasting patterns) to mark the electronic tag's position on the tire surface. This visual indication method is simple to implement and effectively guides sensor placement or terminal device positioning for information acquisition.

AI summary
A tire that can indicate an area in which an electronic tag is embedded is provided. A tire includes an electronic tag disposed inside from a surface, and an indicator indicating the position of the electronic tag. The indicator is disposed in or on the surface, and formed in an area encompassing a projection image of the shape of the electronic tag onto the surface.
