Description

用于轮胎的射频识别装置发射机及其制造方法
相关申请的交叉引用
本申请基于2005年4月26日提交的60/674935号临时申请并且要求该申请的利益。
发明背景
在轮胎的制造和使用中，希望知道轮胎的确定序号，以提供用于关联有益数据并采集诸如空气压力、磨损和行驶的英里数等关于轮胎的数据的装置。
技术领域
本发明涉及射频识别装置(RFID)。更具体地说，本发明涉及在轮胎制造期间永久地嵌入在轮胎中的RFID。
背景技术
RFID用于识别和记录所有尺寸的轮胎的里程和其他数据。RFID发射机和辅助部件被直接固化在轮胎中以提供用于永久识别的防误转(tamper-proof)系统并且被安置在轮胎中固定的径向位置。所述固定的永久径向位置为在装配期间部件和部件连接缝的准确布置作好准备。它还提供绝对径向安置，所述绝对径向安置在轮胎的所有附加装配过程中作为基准。在一批生产的所有轮胎中的RFID的这种绝对径向安置提供大大改进的质量并且导致改进的质量检查。在测试期间，所述固定的径向基准位置提供确定易出故障的部件、装配技术或工艺过程的位置的手段。
RFID发射机设计提供序号的长距离发射，所述序号用于在附加的工艺过程中进行排序和定序。
发明内容
本发明的RFID装置能够通过使用感测地磁场的磁敏传感器来获得轮胎旋转的准确计数。这种传感器提供输入到信号调节器电路的输入信号，所述信号调节器电路提供输出到计数器电路的输出信号。
本发明提供所制造的每一个轮胎的电子序号。可以访问这样的序号以确定制造日期、所使用的材料、用于制造的设备和涉及这样的轮胎的装配的人员。它还提供有利的设计和保修信息。
在装配过程中，RFID读出器固定在轮胎装配床上并且在电气上结合到轮胎装配床控制电路上。RFID读出器上的定向天线提供轮胎上的径向基准点，所述径向基准点确定装配期间添加的部件的位置。所述定向RFID读出器将用于所有装配和制造过程，以提高轮胎的质量。
根据本发明，还提供磁敏传感器以记录轮胎的旋转计数。这是通过以下步骤完成的：通过比较器监测磁敏传感器的输出并调节所述信号。所述电路在所述信号的正的或负的前沿或后沿时提供输出信号，所述输出信号表示轮胎或传感器在地磁场内的旋转。于是所述系统记录所述计数(亦即，旋转次数)，然后可以通过读出RFID数据来访问所述计数。RFID装置的一个好处是它将提供准确的里程指示，所述里程指示可用于改善轮胎设计或保修问题。
轮胎序号的长距离发射的好处是：它允许在后续的存库、分类和出厂的过程中对轮胎进行分类和定序。本发明的RFID装置的长距离发射能力在存库和出厂操作中提供轮胎的打滑负荷量(skid-loadquantities)的读数。
可通过电池或用于将旋转轮胎/车轮遭遇的振动或道路噪声转换成电能的电磁装置来获得RFID装置所需的电力。公开了用于将振动机械能转换成电能的现有技术装置包括：国际申请PCT/US2004/003508(国际公开号WO 2005/022726A1)，它包括在其中公开的许多装置；以及5741966、6725713和6825758号美国专利，通过引用将它们结合到本文中。
附图说明
图1是轮胎和固定在或嵌入其侧壁的本发明的RFID装置的横截面图。
图2是本发明的RFID装置的各种不同部件的框图。
图3是本发明的RFID装置的接线图。
图4是示出在制造过程中RFID装置在轮胎胎体上的布置的示意图。
图5是示出在按照本发明的轮胎的制造过程中的另一个步骤的示意图。
图6是示出具有嵌入其中的RFID装置的成品轮胎的示意图，其中RFID装置读出器正对借助传送带移动的RFID装置进行扫描。
具体实施方式
参照图1，图中示出具有胎顶10的轮胎T，胎顶10具有外螺纹12和凹槽14。在横截面中，轮胎T的胎顶10沿着弧形路径径向向外延伸到一对面对面布置的侧壁16，侧壁16限定轮胎T的最大径向尺寸。侧壁16从这样的最大径向尺寸到终止在一对面对面布置的胎圈18的较窄区域向内弯曲。
如图1所示，图中示出本发明的RFID装置20，RFID装置20被永久地嵌入侧壁16之一中，与靠近侧壁16的最大径向尺寸的区域的程度相比，RFID装置20处在更靠近胎圈18的区域中。尽管可将RFID装置20在侧壁16中的精确位置选择在侧壁16中各种位置上的任何位置，但是，重要的是，一旦为轮胎的特定的设计和尺寸确立了这样的位置，在特定的轮胎尺寸和设计的所有后续的生产中，这样的位置应当保持不变。因而，对于特定设计和尺寸的轮胎，将所有RFID装置精确地安置在同一位置，而就RFID装置本身而言，以下情况也在本发明的规划内：可将RFID装置20永久地固定在侧壁16的内表面而不是嵌入其中，或者固定在轮胎附着到其上的车轮轮辋或车轮上。就制造方法而论，以下情况也在本发明的考虑范围内：对于特定设计和尺寸的所有轮胎，在轮胎中精确的相同位置的布局可以适用于其它类型的信息标记装置，例如除RFID装置以外的磁的或光学的装置。
参照图2，图中示意性示出本发明的RFID装置20。装置20包括：用于感测地磁场的传感器22；微芯片/存储器处理器24；能源26和远距离发射机28。这些部件被紧凑地装配，以形成本发明的RFID装置20。例如，在这样的部件封装好的情况下，RFID装置具有大约0.75英寸的直径。
用于感测地磁场并且利用这样的磁场感测能力来确定轮胎旋转圈数的传感器22可以是由NVE公司(Eden Prairie，明尼苏达)制造的传感器，所述传感器是该公司的AA或AH模拟传感器系列的改进。微芯片/存储器处理器24可以是微控制器，例如由MicrochipTechnology Inc.(Chandler亚利桑那)制造的微控制器，如该公司的型号TIC12F629/675的CMOS微控制器，所述微控制器使用5847450号美国专利中提出的8位8引脚器件。
在5170566和5408179号美国专利中可以找到在其机能中利用地磁场的传感器的示例，通过引用将其结合到本文中。
能源26可以是用于将机械振动转换成电能的若干电磁装置中的一种，所述若干电磁装置包括(但不限于)在发明内容中确定的那些电磁装置。
参照图3，图中示出本发明的RFID装置20的示意性接线图。如图3所示，磁敏传感器22(图3中标记为“电桥”)感测地磁场。传感器22既连接到(i)比较器电路36和运算放大器，又连接到(ii)电位计32，并且与它们配合运作以向微芯片/存储器处理器24发送比较数据。与工作在8毫安范围内的微芯片不同，微芯片/存储器处理器24工作在1皮安(亦即，百万分之一安培)范围内。由能源26提供电力。然后通过长距离RF发射机28向远程接收台发送接收到的关于轮胎的旋转圈数的信息。
本发明的主要特征包括：在制造期间RFID装置在轮胎中的精确布置；利用磁敏传感器感测地磁场并且与安装在被置于轮胎中的芯片上的其它部件一起对轮胎的旋转圈数进行计数的能力；以及向远程位置发送那些和其他信息。其它特征包括：
1.用于发送在轮胎上的径向位置的装置。轮胎上的径向位置的外部感测在轮胎的装配和/或测试中是有用的。可用于这样的外部感测的装置是RFID发射机、磁装置、光学装置或用于确定轮胎上的径向位置以改善轮胎的质量或性能的其它装置。
2.协助库存和/或出厂的长距离发射。
3.RFID发射机提供永久序号。可利用地磁场和磁敏传感器提供轮胎的转数计数来获得轮胎的里程。
4.将从机械能(轮胎的振动)产生电能的装置作为RFID装置的部件。
用于给定轮胎尺寸和设计的RFID装置或其它信息标记的特定位置可以改变；但是，一旦为特定轮胎尺寸和设计确定了那个位置，重要的是，在制造操作期间，所述RFID装置或其它信息标记被精确地安置在所制造的所述尺寸和设计的每一个轮胎中的那个位置。这可如图4和5中所示的那样来完成。
参照图4，图中示出用于轮胎的组装过程的第一步骤的装置。在所述第一步骤生产轮胎的胎体，而用于其中的装置包括安置在头架(head stack)52和尾架(tail stack)54之间的圆筒50。圆筒50通过头架52和尾架54的动作来旋转的并接纳材料带56，材料带56用于通过随着圆筒50的旋转来缠绕以构造轮胎胎体C。在缠绕带56以形成轮胎胎体C过程中的预定时刻，圆筒50停止旋转并由RFID标桩(stake-on)敷贴器60加RFID标签T。标桩敷贴器60向下移动，以将RFID标签附着到部分形成的或必要时完全形成的轮胎胎体C上。若在加RFID标签T时仅部分地形成轮胎胎体C，那么，所述圆筒将开始旋转缠绕带56以制成轮胎胎体C。
参照图5，其中轮胎胎体C在圆筒50上，第二阶段过程利用现有技术中公知的程序在组装圆筒62上形成胎面带B。带层B的内径比轮胎胎体C的外径大。由自动输送机构输送带层B并将其套在轮胎胎体C上。在带层B围绕轮胎胎体C的情况下，旋转承载这样的轮胎胎体C的圆筒50，直到RFID读出器模块66确定RFID标签T的位置为止。标签T的位置由RFID读出器模块66输出到计算机，计算机利用位于所要求的精确位置的标签T使圆筒50停止旋转。在圆筒50停止在这样的位置，即轮胎胎体C的RFID标签T处在RFID读出器模块66下面的情况下，使带层B套在轮胎胎体C上并旋转到相对于RFID标签T的指定位置。此后，使圆筒50膨胀以将轮胎胎体C膨胀成与所述带B密封接合，以此形成轮胎的第二步骤，此时RFID标签T精确地处在所要求的位置并且对于此后制造的所述尺寸和规格的每一个另外的轮胎，处在相同的位置。
此后，通过现有技术中公知的程序将装配好的轮胎胎体C和带层硫化。
参照图6，图中示出借助传送带70移动的成品轮胎80。激励线圈72安装在传送带70上方，其位置在轮胎上方并且在便于接收来自安装在轮胎中的RFID标签T的数据的位置上。激励线圈72连接到RFID读出器74，RFID读出器74将数据输出到计算机。由计算机接收的数据中除了其他数据之外，是轮胎的序号。因此，可跟踪通过所述工厂的每一个轮胎并可识别在各种不同的测试程序中已经发现有缺陷的任何轮胎。然后可以容易地确定任何有缺陷的轮胎的位置，以修补或废弃。
许多修改对于本领域的技术人员来说是显而易见的。因此，本申请的范围应仅由权利要求的范围来限定。
