Reference: TYRE COMPRISING A MONITORING DEVICE United States Patent Application 20220016944 Reference information: TYRE COMPRISING A MONITORING DEVICE United States Patent Application 20220016944 Kind Code: A1 Abstract: Tyre (1) comprising a monitoring device (10) comprising an electronic unit (11) comprising a sensor for detecting at least one of the following physical quantities: temperature, pressure, acceleration, deformation; a processing unit; a transceiver; an electric power supplier (12) having a housing body (50), a first pole (22) and a second pole (24); an electric circuit (18) for connecting the two poles (22, 24) to the electronic unit (11); a flexible support (13) on which the electronic unit is fixed (11), wherein the housing body (50) is fixed onto the flexible support (13) at a first face (23), wherein the monitoring device (10) comprises a tab (26) integral with the flexible support (13) and folded so that a portion (27) of the tab is fixed to a second face (25) of the housing body (50), and wherein the electric circuit (18) comprises a connecting track (28) extending along the tab (26) up to electrically contact the second pole (24). ... Claims: 1. 1-19. (canceled) 20. A tyre comprising a monitoring device fixed on an inner surface of the tyre, wherein the monitoring device comprises: an electronic unit; an electric power supplier comprising a housing body, a first pole at a first face of the housing body, and a second pole at a second face of the housing body, opposite to the first face; an electric circuit for connecting the first pole and the second pole to the electronic unit; and a single piece flexible support, wherein the electronic unit is fixed, wherein the electronic unit comprises: at least one sensor for detecting at least one of the following physical quantities chosen from: temperature, pressure, acceleration, deformation, and combinations thereof; a processing unit; and a transceiver, wherein the housing body is fixed onto the flexible support at the first face, wherein the monitoring device comprises a tab integral with the flexible support at a first end of the tab and folded wherein a portion of the tab is fixed to the second face of the housing body, and wherein the electric circuit comprises an electric connecting track extending along the tab up to electrically contact the second pole. 21. The tyre according to claim 20, wherein the tab forms a single body with the flexible support, and the tab, in plant view, exceeds at least partially an envelope of a perimetral edge of the flexible support, and wherein an attachment line of the tab to the flexible support is arranged in a rearward position with respect to the envelope of the perimetral edge of the flexible support. ... 31. The tyre according to claim 20, wherein the housing body has a circular plant, and wherein the housing body is inscribed in a circle having diameter less than or equal to 30 mm, or circumscribed to a circle having diameter greater than or equal to 15 mm, or both. ... Furthermore, for the operation of the monitoring device it is usual to provide an electric power supplier comprising at least an electric power accumulator. For example, typically a battery (e.g. coin cell) comprising a metal capsule is used. This electric power accumulator typically has a significant weight. For example, a non-rechargeable coin cell battery of the CR2032 type, with an electric charge of about 200-250 mAh, can have a mass of about 3 g. The prevalent tendency is to make the overall monitoring device as compact as possible. For example, a used solution envisages to superimpose on each other, appropriately connected, an accumulator and the PCB rigid support with all the electronic components fixed on it, and to encapsulate the whole with an encapsulating material (e.g. polymeric resin), possibly inside a rigid containment body. Furthermore, a housing can be provided (for example made of elastomeric material) to couple the device to the tyre surface by means of an attachment patch and/or one or more adhesives. These structures as a whole (containment body, encapsulant, housing, adhesive/s) entails a further increase in weight, for a total overall weight of the entire monitoring device which can reach 8-15 g, almost all located in a small area, equal to the plant area of the container (for example, inscribed in a circle with diameter of 18-30 mm). The Applicant, in conducting tests at very high tyre rotation speeds (corresponding to extreme linear speeds of a corresponding vehicle, for example over 300 km/h) has verified that the location of the aforesaid overall mass generates very intense stresses (in particular radial and tangential stresses). .... Preferably said tab forms a single body with said flexible support. In other words, said tab is integral part of the flexible support, developing with continuity from the flexible support at said first end. In this way the electric connection is robust and the making of the tab itself is simple and cheap, for example by (for example by laser) cut of the flexible support. Preferably said tab (when extended in plant, i.e. before the folding) exceeds at least partially (an envelope of) a perimetral edge of the flexible support. In other words, the tab, before being folded on itself, at least partially protrudes from the plant encumbrance (or better from the envelope) of the flexible support. In this way the making of the tab does not mechanically weaken the rest of the flexible support and/or the plant encumbrance of the flexible support remains limited. Preferably an attachment line of said tab to said flexible support is arranged in a rearward position with respect to (an envelope of) a perimetral edge of the flexible support. In other words, only a part of the tab exceeds the perimetral edge (or its envelope) of the flexible support. In this way the making of the tab requires for a limited excess of material with respect to a flexible support without tab. Moreover, in this way it is easy to make adhere the tab to the housing body along the whole extension of the tab. .... Preferably said plurality of accumulators comprises a first and a second accumulator arranged at opposite sides of said electronic unit. By interposing the electronic unit between the two accumulators, the latter are placed at a greater mutual distance than a placement on a same side of the electronic unit, with the same overall plant encumbrance of the monitoring device. In this way, the phenomenon of sum of the heating effects of the two single accumulators is avoided or further limited, together with consequent overheating (in particular at the most stressed regions of the tread of the tyre, such as for example the central relief). Preferably said plurality of accumulators comprises two and no more than two accumulators arranged at opposite ends of the monitoring device along a main development direction. In this case, the overall plant encumbrance and the complexity of the monitoring device are limited. Preferably the monitoring device comprises a polymeric film applied adherently to a face of said monitoring device on the side of said electric power supplier (i.e. opposite to the inner surface of the tyre). Preferably said polymeric film completely covers said face of the monitoring device. Preferably said polymeric film is made of polyurethane. Preferably said film is applied to said face by lamination. In this way, in addition to protecting all the exposed part of the device from hits, chemical agents and/or dirt, the film contributes to fix the different electronic components to the flexible support, including the electric power supplier/the accumulators. Preferably said tab has an overall length along a main extension line (for example from said first end, e.g. the attachment line, to a second end opposite to the first end) such that it extends over a whole side wall of said housing body and furthermore for at least 50% of a respective dimension of said second face of the housing body (for example a diameter of said second face), preferably for not more than 90% of said respective dimension of the second face, more preferably for not more than 80% of said respective dimension. In this way it is possible to fold the tab on itself and to make the electric contact with the second pole. Preferably said tab has a width along a direction (locally) perpendicular to said main extension line greater than or equal to 25%, more preferably greater than or equal to 30%, of said respective dimension of the second face, and/or equal to said respective dimension of the second face, more preferably less than or equal to 80%, even more preferably less than or equal to 60%, of the respective dimension of the second face. These dimensions have proved to be particularly suitable for establishing an adequate fixing of the battery, a stable and long-lasting electric contact of the second pole, while limiting at the same time the risks of undesired electric contact with the first pole.
