Tyre System RFID Integration for Uniformity Data Retention
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing methods for improving tire systems by determining tire uniformity lose information about the degree of uniformity due to the potential removal or damage of markings during tire processing, leading to a high risk of information loss.
Innovation Solution
Implementing an electromagnetic transmitting and receiving device, such as an RFID, to store tire identification and uniformity information electronically and permanently, ensuring machine-readable and reliable storage.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If information about tire uniformity is stored on a marking applied to the tire surface, then the information is easily accessible and readable, but the information can be removed or damaged during tire processing, leading to information loss
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the mechanical/optical marking system with an electromagnetic storage system. Instead of using physical markings on the tire surface that can be removed or damaged, the invention uses electromagnetic transmitting and receiving devices to store and retrieve uniformity information electronically, thereby eliminating the vulnerability of physical markings while maintaining information accessibility.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates an electronic copy of the uniformity information stored in an electromagnetic device rather than relying on the original physical marking. This electronic copy can be read multiple times without degradation and is not susceptible to the same physical damage risks as surface markings, ensuring persistent availability of the information.
2Reliability
If electromagnetic transmitting and receiving devices are used to store tire uniformity information, then information loss is reduced and storage reliability is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The electromagnetic transmitting and receiving device performs multiple functions: it stores uniformity information, transmits this information when queried, and can potentially serve other identification or tracking purposes. This multi-functionality justifies the added complexity by providing comprehensive solutions beyond simple information storage.
Solution Approach 2:
The electromagnetic device is integrated into the tire system in a way that it automatically provides information when queried, without requiring additional manual intervention or complex external systems. The device self-manages the storage and transmission of uniformity data, reducing the overall system complexity despite the added electronic component.
