Tire Valve Assembly With Self-Aligning TPMS Mounting

Guide parts (guide slopes or guide surfaces) are provided on the support ring and/or electronic device before assembly. These guide parts preliminarily define the correct rotational position and guide the electronic device into proper alignment as it is attached to the valve stem, eliminating the need for skilled manual alignment operations.

The guide parts enable the electronic device to self-align to the normal rotational position during the attachment process. As the nut is tightened and the electronic device is pressed against the support ring, the guide parts automatically correct any misalignment, allowing the device to service its own alignment without external intervention.

Instead of making the entire support ring or electronic device complex, guide parts are provided only at specific local positions where alignment is needed. The guide parts may be localized guide slopes on the support ring or guide surfaces on the electronic device, adding minimal complexity only where necessary for alignment functionality.

The guide parts utilize asymmetric geometric features (guide slopes at specific angles, non-circular guide surfaces) that naturally guide the electronic device into the correct rotational position. This asymmetric design provides automatic alignment functionality without requiring complex mechanical mechanisms, achieving precision through simple geometric constraints.
