本発明は、機能部品と、機能部品をタイヤに取付けるための機能部品取付部材とを備えて構成された機能部品装置等に関する。   The present invention relates to a functional component device and the like configured to include a functional component and a functional component mounting member for mounting the functional component to a tire.

例えば、センサ(圧力センサ、温度センサ、加速度センサ等)と電池又は発電素子と無線機とを一体化したセンサモジュール等の機能部品をゴム製の機能部品取付部材としての機能部品取付台座を介してタイヤの内面に装着することにより、タイヤの状態を検出する技術において、当該機能部品取付台座として、機能部品に設けられた機能部品側被取付部が嵌合状態に取付けられる凹部を有した取付部を備えた構成、即ち、機能部品と、機能部品をタイヤに取付けるための機能部品取付台座とを備えて構成された機能部品装置が知られている(特許文献1参照)。

タイヤの内面に発生する振動を正しく計測するためには、タイヤの内面に発生する振動が加速度センサに余すことなく正確に伝達される必要があるが、特許文献1に示す構成のように、機能部品と機能部品取付台座との間に隙間ができてしまう場合、タイヤの内面に発生する微小な振動が上記隙間部分で吸収されてしまって、振動を正確に計測できない。また、図8に示すように、機能部品290に設けられた機能部品側被取付部300の底部と機能品取付台座100の凹部2Aの内底部とが平滑な形状である場合、当該機能部品側被取付部300の底部と機能部品取付台座100の凹部2Aの内底部とが接触する接触面101での摩擦損失により、タイヤ60からの振動が加速度センサ51まで正確に伝達されないため、振動を正確に計測できない。
本発明は、タイヤの内面に発生する振動を正確に計測できる機能部品装置等を提供するものである。
In order to correctly measure the vibration generated on the inner surface of the tire, it is necessary to accurately transmit the vibration generated on the inner surface of the tire without leaving the acceleration sensor.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 8, when the bottom part of the functional part side attached portion 300 provided in the functional part 290 and the inner bottom part of the concave part 2 </ b> A of the functional part mounting base 100 have a smooth shape, The vibration from the tire 60 is not accurately transmitted to the acceleration sensor 51 due to the friction loss at the contact surface 101 where the bottom of the mounted portion 300 and the inner bottom of the recess 2A of the functional component mounting base 100 come into contact. Cannot be measured.
The present invention provides a functional component device and the like that can accurately measure vibration generated on the inner surface of a tire.

It is configured to be fitted into the recess 2A by rubber elasticity.
The concave portion 2A into which the functional component side attached portion 30 is fitted includes a circular opening 3 serving as an entrance for inserting and removing the functional component side attached portion 30 with respect to the concave portion 2A, and an inner bottom portion facing the opening 3. And an inner wall surface 9 that connects the opening 3 and the inner bottom portion.
The recess 2 </ b> A is formed such that the diameter 3 </ b> A of the opening 3 is smaller than the maximum diameter 30 </ b> A of the functional component side attached portion 30, and the inner surface (inner bottom surface and inner wall surface 9) is the outer surface of the functional component side attached portion 30. It is formed in the fitting surface which fits (bottom part, side surface, and top part).
That is, the concave portion 2A has the shape of the functional component side attached portion 30, for example, a shape like a rotating body obtained by using a short axis of a rounded rectangle as a rotation axis (a central axis 2X of the concave portion 2A). Is formed in the recess.
The inner wall surface 9 of the recess 2A has a diameter dimension of the center portion in the direction along the center axis 2X of the recess 2A (inner diameter dimension of the recess 2A having a length in a direction perpendicular to the center axis 2X with the center axis 2X as a center). Is formed to have a maximum diameter 9A that is larger than the diameter 3A of the opening 3 of the recess 2A and the diameter of the inner bottom portion of the recess 2A. That is, the concave portion 2A has a diameter 3A of the opening 3 serving as an entrance for inserting / removing the functional component side attached portion 30 so that the maximum diameter 30A of the functional component side attached portion 30 corresponds to the maximum diameter 30A. Is smaller than 9A. That is, the functional component side attached portion 30 having the opening 3 expanded in diameter and inserted into the recess 2A is covered with the rubber on the opening edge 3a side and the functional component side inserted into the recess 2A. The mounted portion 30 is configured to be pressed and kept in the fitted state by the elastic force of the rubber of the functional component mounting base 1 toward the inner bottom portion side of the recess 2A.

また、凹部2Aの内底部は、機能部品側被取付部30の底部に形成された凹凸部(2つの半円形凹部34,35、円環面(凸部)32、仕切凸部(凸部)33)の面と嵌合する凹凸部に形成されている。
つまり、図4,図6に示すように、凹部2Aの内底部は、機能部品側被取付部30の底部に形成された2つの半円形凹部34,35に嵌合する2つの半円形凸部5,6と、円環面32及び当該円環面32と連続する側面(円弧面31)の底部が嵌合される円環凹部7と、仕切凸部33が嵌合されて2つの半円形凸部5,6を仕切る機能部品取付台座側凹部としての仕切凹部8とを備えた構成である。2つの半円形凸部5,6は、仕切凸部33(被取付部側凸部)を挟む機能部品取付台座側凹部(機能部品取付部材側凹部)としての仕切凹部8の両側に位置される各凸部として機能する。
また、機能部品取付台座1の底面4は、タイヤ60の内面70に接着材を介して固定される固定部として機能する。当該底面4は、凹部2Aの中心軸2Xを中心とする例えば円形面により形成され、この円形面の径が、凹部2Aの最大径9Aよりも大きい寸法に形成されている。当該底面4は、凹部2Aの中心軸2Xと直交する平面に形成される。
また、機能部品取付台座1の外壁面10は、開口3の開口縁3aと底面4の外周縁4aとを繋ぐ傾斜面に形成される。この傾斜面は、開口3の開口縁3a側及び底面4の外周縁4a側が緩斜面に形成されて、中心軸2Xに沿った方向の中央部が急斜面となるように形成されていることにより、開口3の開口縁3a側及び底面4の外周縁4a側のゴムの肉厚が薄くなるように構成されている。このように、開口3の開口縁3a側のゴムの肉厚が薄くなるように構成されていることにより、機能部品側被取付部30を凹部2A内に嵌合する際に開口3を拡径する作業が容易となる。また、底面4の外周縁4a側のゴムの肉厚が薄くなるように構成されていることにより、外周縁4a側とタイヤ60の内面70との密着性が高まり、外周縁4aからの剥離が抑制される。
Further, the inner bottom portion of the recess 2A is an uneven portion (two semicircular recesses 34 and 35, an annular surface (convex portion) 32, a partition convex portion (convex portion) formed on the bottom of the functional component side attached portion 30. 33) is formed on the concavo-convex portion that fits the surface.
That is, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 6, the inner bottom portion of the recess 2 </ b> A has two semicircular protrusions that fit into the two semicircular recesses 34 and 35 formed on the bottom of the functional component side attached portion 30. 5, 6, the annular concave portion 7 into which the bottom of the annular surface 32 and the side surface (arc surface 31) continuous with the annular surface 32 is fitted, and the partition convex portion 33 are fitted into two semicircles It is the structure provided with the partition recessed part 8 as a functional component attachment base side recessed part which partitions the convex parts 5 and 6. FIG. The two semicircular convex portions 5 and 6 are positioned on both sides of the partition concave portion 8 as a functional component mounting base side concave portion (functional component mounting member side concave portion) sandwiching the partition convex portion 33 (attached portion side convex portion). It functions as each convex part.
In addition, the bottom surface 4 of the functional component mounting base 1 functions as a fixing portion that is fixed to the inner surface 70 of the tire 60 via an adhesive. The bottom surface 4 is formed of, for example, a circular surface centered on the central axis 2X of the recess 2A, and the diameter of the circular surface is larger than the maximum diameter 9A of the recess 2A. The bottom surface 4 is formed on a plane orthogonal to the central axis 2X of the recess 2A.
The outer wall surface 10 of the functional component mounting base 1 is formed as an inclined surface that connects the opening edge 3 a of the opening 3 and the outer peripheral edge 4 a of the bottom surface 4. The inclined surface is formed such that the opening edge 3a side of the opening 3 and the outer peripheral edge 4a side of the bottom surface 4 are formed as gentle slopes, and the central part in the direction along the central axis 2X is formed as a steep slope. The thickness of the rubber on the opening edge 3 a side of the opening 3 and the outer peripheral edge 4 a side of the bottom surface 4 is configured to be thin. As described above, the thickness of the rubber on the opening edge 3a side of the opening 3 is configured to be thin, so that the diameter of the opening 3 is increased when the functional component side attached portion 30 is fitted into the recess 2A. Work becomes easier. In addition, since the thickness of the rubber on the outer peripheral edge 4a side of the bottom surface 4 is reduced, the adhesion between the outer peripheral edge 4a side and the inner surface 70 of the tire 60 is increased, and peeling from the outer peripheral edge 4a is prevented. It is suppressed.

実施形態1では、仕切凹部8(機能部品取付台座側凹部)は、図4,図6に示すように、底面の幅寸法8Aが開口の幅寸法8Bよりも小さく形成されることによって壁面8a,8aが傾斜面に形成されている。即ち、仕切凹部8は、機能部品取付台座1の底面4側から凹部2Aの開口3側に向けて延長する壁面8a,8aが、互いに凹部2Aの中心軸2Xから離れる方向に傾斜する傾斜面に形成される。そして、壁面8a,8aと対応する仕切凸部33の壁面33a,33aが壁面8a,8aと同じ傾斜角の傾斜面に形成されている。
また、仕切凹部8に嵌合される被取付部側凸部としての仕切凸部33は、図3,図5に示すように、幅寸法、即ち、仕切凹部8の底面の幅寸法8Aと対応する凸部根元側幅寸法33Aが幅寸法8Aよりも大きく形成されるとともに、仕切凹部8の開口の幅寸法8Bと対応する凸部先端側幅寸法33Bが幅寸法8Bよりも大きく形成されたことによって、仕切凹部8と仕切凸部33とがしばりばめ状態に嵌合される構成となっている。
In the first embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 6, the partition recess 8 (functional component mounting base side recess) is formed such that the bottom surface width dimension 8 </ b> A is smaller than the opening width dimension 8 </ b> B. 8a is formed on the inclined surface. That is, the partition recess 8 is an inclined surface in which the wall surfaces 8a, 8a extending from the bottom surface 4 side of the functional component mounting base 1 toward the opening 3 side of the recess 2A are inclined in a direction away from the central axis 2X of the recess 2A. It is formed. And the wall surfaces 33a and 33a of the partition convex part 33 corresponding to the wall surfaces 8a and 8a are formed in the inclined surface of the same inclination angle as the wall surfaces 8a and 8a.
Moreover, the partition convex part 33 as a to-be-attached part side convex part fitted to the partition concave part 8 respond | corresponds with the width dimension, ie, the width dimension 8A of the bottom face of the partition recessed part 8, as shown in FIG. The convex root side width dimension 33A is formed larger than the width dimension 8A, and the convex leading end side width dimension 33B corresponding to the opening width dimension 8B of the partitioning concave part 8 is formed larger than the width dimension 8B. Thus, the partition recess 8 and the partition protrusion 33 are fitted in a tight fit state.

当該構成によれば、加速度センサ51が埋設された仕切凸部33の図3中の左右幅(凸部根元側幅寸法33A及び凸部先端側幅寸法33B)を仕切凹部8の図4中の左右幅(幅寸法8A及び幅寸法8B)よりも広くしたことで、仕切凸部33と仕切凹部8とが嵌合される場合、加速度センサ51が埋設された仕切凸部33の壁面33a,33aが仕切凹部8の壁面8a,8aを左右に押し分ける際の反力によって仕切凸部33がきつく締め付けられて拘束されることになる。
即ち、仕切凸部33の壁面33a,33aと仕切凹部8の壁面8a,8aとの間に隙間ができてしまう場合、タイヤ60の内面70に発生する微小な振動が上記隙間部分で吸収されてしまって、振動を正確に計測できない恐れがあるが、実施形態1の機能部品装置50によれば、機能部品側被取付部30の底部に形成された仕切凸部33内に加速度センサ51が埋設されたので、加速度センサ51をタイヤ60の内面に近付けることができるとともに、機能部品29の機能部品側被取付部30が凹部2Aに嵌合状態に取付けられた場合に、加速度センサ51を埋設した仕切凸部33が締め付けられて拘束され、仕切凸部33の壁面33a,33aと仕切凹部8の壁面8a,8aとが隙間無く密着した状態となるため、加速度センサ51がタイヤ60の内面70に発生する振動を正確に計測できる機能部品装置50となる。
According to this configuration, the left and right widths in FIG. 3 of the partition convex portion 33 in which the acceleration sensor 51 is embedded (the convex portion root side width dimension 33A and the convex tip end side width dimension 33B) are shown in FIG. When the partition convex portion 33 and the partition concave portion 8 are fitted by being wider than the left and right width (width dimension 8A and width dimension 8B), the wall surfaces 33a and 33a of the partition convex portion 33 in which the acceleration sensor 51 is embedded. However, the partition convex portion 33 is tightened and restrained by the reaction force when the wall surfaces 8a, 8a of the partition concave portion 8 are pushed to the left and right.
That is, when a gap is formed between the wall surfaces 33a and 33a of the partition convex portion 33 and the wall surfaces 8a and 8a of the partition recess 8, minute vibrations generated on the inner surface 70 of the tire 60 are absorbed by the gap portion. However, according to the functional component device 50 of the first embodiment, the acceleration sensor 51 is embedded in the partition convex portion 33 formed at the bottom of the functional component-side mounted portion 30. Therefore, the acceleration sensor 51 can be brought close to the inner surface of the tire 60, and the acceleration sensor 51 is embedded when the functional component side attached portion 30 of the functional component 29 is attached to the recessed portion 2A. The partition convex portion 33 is tightened and restrained, and the wall surfaces 33a and 33a of the partition convex portion 33 and the wall surfaces 8a and 8a of the partition concave portion 8 are in close contact with each other, so that the acceleration sensor 51 is tied. 60 vibration generated on the inner surface 70 of the functional component unit 50 can be accurately measured.

尚、機能部品側被取付部30を凹部2Aに取付ける際には、機能部品取付台座1の開口3を拡げて取付部2の凹部2A内に機能部品側被取付部30を挿入し、機能部品側被取付部30の底部に形成された凹凸部(2つの半円形凹部34,35、円環面(凸部)32、仕切凸部(凸部)33)と取付部2の内底部に形成された凹凸面(2つの半円形凸部5,6、円環凹部7、仕切凹部8)とを嵌合させることで、機能部品29が機能部品取付台座1の凹部2Aに嵌合状態に取付けられる。
また、機能部品取付台座1は、例えば図1に示すように、取付部2の中心軸2Xとタイヤ60の赤道面60Xとが一致するようにタイヤ60の内面70上に位置され、かつ、図2に示すように、2つの半円形凸部5,6がタイヤ60の周方向に沿って並ぶように、底面4とタイヤ60の内面70とが接着材等によって接着されることによって、タイヤ60の内面70に取付けられる。
尚、機能部品29が機能部品取付台座1に取付けられた機能部品装置50を構成した後、当該機能部品装置50における機能部品取付台座1の底面4とタイヤ60の内面70とを接着材等によって接着したり、あるいは、機能部品取付台座1の底面4とタイヤ60の内面70とを接着材等によって接着した後に、タイヤ60の内面70に取付けられた機能部品取付台座1の凹部2Aに機能部品29を取付けることによって、機能部品29が機能部品取付台座1を介してタイヤ60の内面70に取付けられる。
即ち、図2に示すように、加速度センサ51を埋設した被取付部側凸部としての仕切凸部33と嵌合する機能部品取付台座側凹部としての仕切凹部8の壁面8a,8aがタイヤ60の周方向と交差(好ましくは直交)するように、機能部品装置50がタイヤ60の内面70に取付けられた構成のタイヤ60とした。当該タイヤ60が、図2のR方向に回転(転動)した場合、加速度センサ51を埋設した仕切凸部33が締め付けられて拘束され、仕切凸部33の壁面33a,33aと仕切凹部8の壁面8a,8aとが隙間無く密着した状態となるため、加速度センサ51がタイヤ60の内面70に発生する振動を正確に計測できるタイヤ60となる。
When mounting the functional component side mounted portion 30 in the recess 2A, the functional component mounting base 30 is inserted into the recess 2A of the mounting portion 2 by expanding the opening 3 of the functional component mounting base 1, Concavities and convexities (two semicircular concave portions 34 and 35, annulus surface (convex portion) 32, partition convex portion (convex portion) 33) formed on the bottom portion of the side attachment portion 30 and the inner bottom portion of the attachment portion 2. By fitting the uneven surfaces (the two semicircular convex portions 5 and 6, the annular concave portion 7 and the partitioning concave portion 8), the functional component 29 is fitted in the concave portion 2A of the functional component mounting base 1. It is done.
Further, for example, as shown in FIG. 1, the functional component mounting base 1 is positioned on the inner surface 70 of the tire 60 so that the central axis 2X of the mounting portion 2 and the equator surface 60X of the tire 60 coincide with each other. 2, the tire 60 is formed by bonding the bottom surface 4 and the inner surface 70 of the tire 60 with an adhesive or the like so that the two semicircular convex portions 5 and 6 are arranged along the circumferential direction of the tire 60. Attached to the inner surface 70.
In addition, after the functional component 29 comprises the functional component apparatus 50 attached to the functional component mounting base 1, the bottom surface 4 of the functional component mounting base 1 and the inner surface 70 of the tire 60 in the functional component apparatus 50 are bonded with an adhesive or the like. The functional component is attached to the recess 2A of the functional component mounting base 1 attached to the inner surface 70 of the tire 60 after the bottom surface 4 of the functional component mounting base 1 and the inner surface 70 of the tire 60 are bonded with an adhesive or the like. By attaching 29, the functional component 29 is attached to the inner surface 70 of the tire 60 via the functional component mounting base 1.
That is, as shown in FIG. 2, the wall surfaces 8 a, 8 a of the partition recess 8 as the functional component mounting base side recess that fits with the partition projection 33 as the mounted portion side protrusion embedded with the acceleration sensor 51 are tires 60. The tire 60 has a configuration in which the functional component device 50 is attached to the inner surface 70 of the tire 60 so as to intersect (preferably orthogonal) the circumferential direction. When the tire 60 rotates (rolls) in the R direction in FIG. 2, the partition convex portion 33 in which the acceleration sensor 51 is embedded is tightened and restrained, and the wall surfaces 33 a and 33 a of the partition convex portion 33 and the partition concave portion 8 Since the wall surfaces 8a and 8a are in close contact with each other without a gap, the acceleration sensor 51 is a tire 60 that can accurately measure vibration generated on the inner surface 70 of the tire 60.

実施形態1の機能部品装置50がタイヤ60の内面70に取付けられたタイヤ60においては、車両走行時、タイヤ60の周面の一部が非接地部から接地部に移行する際の境界である踏込端、及び、タイヤ60の周面の一部が接地部から非接地部に移行する際の境界である蹴出端では、タイヤ60の回転に伴って生じる向心力のアンバランス状態が発生し、機能部品装置50に慣性力が加わる。この場合、タイヤの内面が前後方向に振動した場合、機能部品29のタイヤ中心軸側(突出部37の端部側)は大きく振動するが、加速度センサ51が埋設されている被取付部側凸部としての仕切凸部33は、タイヤ60の内面70近くに位置されて、かつ、拘束されてタイヤ60の内面70に強固に支持され、仕切凸部33の壁面33a,33aと仕切凹部8の壁面8a,8aとが隙間無く密着した状態が維持されるので、タイヤ60の内面70の振動を加速度センサ51まで余すことなく伝達させることが可能となり、タイヤ60の内面70に発生する振動を正確に計測できるタイヤ60を得ることができる。   In the tire 60 in which the functional component device 50 according to the first embodiment is attached to the inner surface 70 of the tire 60, it is a boundary when a part of the peripheral surface of the tire 60 shifts from the non-grounding portion to the grounding portion when the vehicle travels. An unbalanced state of centripetal force generated with the rotation of the tire 60 occurs at the stepping end and the kicking end that is a boundary when a part of the peripheral surface of the tire 60 transitions from the grounded portion to the non-grounded portion. Inertial force is applied to the functional component device 50. In this case, when the inner surface of the tire vibrates in the front-rear direction, the tire center axis side of the functional component 29 (the end portion side of the protruding portion 37) vibrates greatly, but the attached portion-side convexity in which the acceleration sensor 51 is embedded. The partition convex portion 33 as a portion is located near the inner surface 70 of the tire 60 and is restrained and firmly supported by the inner surface 70 of the tire 60, so that the wall surfaces 33 a and 33 a of the partition convex portion 33 and the partition concave portion 8 Since the state in which the wall surfaces 8a and 8a are in close contact with each other is maintained, the vibration of the inner surface 70 of the tire 60 can be transmitted to the acceleration sensor 51 without leaving, and the vibration generated on the inner surface 70 of the tire 60 can be accurately detected. A tire 60 that can be measured easily can be obtained.

そして、仕切凹部8Xの両側に位置される一方の半円形凸部5X(一方の機能部品取付部材側凸部)の傾斜面(壁面)5dと他方の半円形凸部6(他方の機能部品取付部材側凸部)の傾斜面(壁面)6dとの間の幅寸法が、一方の半円形凸部5Xの傾斜面(壁面)5dと対応するように機能部品側被取付部300の底部に設けられた一方の被取付部側凹部としての半円形凹部34X(実施形態1の半円形凹部34に相当)の壁面である傾斜面34a(一方の被取付部側傾斜面)と、他方の半円形凸部6Xの傾斜面(壁面)6dと対応するように機能部品側被取付部300の底部に設けられた他方の被取付部側凹部としての半円形凹部35X(実施形態1の半円形凹部35に相当)の壁面である傾斜面35a(他方の被取付部側傾斜面)との間の幅寸法よりも大きい寸法となるように構成される。
即ち、図7に示すように、傾斜面5dと傾斜面6dとの間の幅寸法が、傾斜面34aと傾斜面35aとの間の幅寸法よりも大きい寸法となるように構成されたことによって、一方の被取付部側凹部としての半円形凹部34Xと一方の機能部品取付部材側凸部としての半円形凸部5X、及び、他方の被取付部側凹部としての半円形凹部35Xと他方の機能部品取付部材側凸部としての半円形凸部6Xとがしばりばめ状態に嵌合される構成となっている。
Embodiment 2
As shown in FIG. 7, the partition recess 8X (functional component mounting base side recess) corresponding to the partition recess 8 of the first embodiment is formed such that the width dimension of the bottom surface and the width dimension of the opening are the same. Wall surfaces 8c, 8c are connected to each other, and a partition convex portion 33X (attached portion side convex portion) corresponding to the partition convex portion 33 of the first embodiment is a bottom dimension of the partition concave portion 8X and an opening width dimension. It is set as the structure formed in the convex part which is formed in the width dimension same as or slightly large, and fits into the said partition recessed part 8X. That is, the wall surfaces 8c, 8c of the partition recess 8X are formed in a plane parallel to the central axis 30X of the functional component side attached portion 30, and the wall surfaces 33c, 33c of the partition projection 33X are surfaces parallel to the center axis 2X of the recess 2A. It is set as the structure formed in.
In addition, the semicircular convex portions 5X and 6X (the convex portions on each functional component mounting member) corresponding to the semicircular convex portions 5 and 6 of the first embodiment located on both sides of the partition concave portion 8X sandwiching the partition convex portion 33X are: Wall surfaces other than the wall surfaces (that is, the wall surfaces 8c, 8c of the partition recess 8X) that fit both the wall surfaces 33c, 33c of the partition protrusion 33X, that is, the opening 3 side of the recess 2A from the bottom surface 4 side of the functional component mounting base 1 Wall surfaces extending toward are formed on inclined surfaces 5d and 6d that are inclined so as to approach the central axis 2X of the recess 2A. The wall surface 34a of the semicircular recess 34X corresponding to the inclined surface 5d and the wall surface 35a of the semicircular recess 35X corresponding to the inclined surface 6d are formed on the inclined surface having the same inclination angle as the inclined surfaces 5d and 6d.
And the inclined surface (wall surface) 5d of one semicircular convex part 5X (one functional component attachment member side convex part) located on both sides of the partitioning concave part 8X and the other semicircular convex part 6 (the other functional component attachment) The width dimension between the inclined surface (wall surface) 6d of the (member-side convex portion) and the inclined surface (wall surface) 5d of one semicircular convex portion 5X is provided at the bottom of the functional component-side mounted portion 300. An inclined surface 34a (one attached portion side inclined surface) which is a wall surface of a semicircular recess 34X (corresponding to the semicircular recess 34 in the first embodiment) as one of the attached portion side recessed portions, and the other semicircular shape The semicircular recess 35X (the semicircular recess 35 of the first embodiment) as the other mounted portion side recess provided on the bottom of the functional component side mounted portion 300 so as to correspond to the inclined surface (wall surface) 6d of the convex portion 6X. Between the inclined surface 35a (the other attached portion side inclined surface) that is the wall surface Configured to be larger than the width.
That is, as shown in FIG. 7, the width between the inclined surface 5d and the inclined surface 6d is configured to be larger than the width between the inclined surface 34a and the inclined surface 35a. The semicircular recess 34X as one mounting portion side recess, the semicircular projection 5X as one functional component mounting member side convex portion, and the semicircular recess 35X as the other mounting portion side recess and the other The semicircular convex portion 6X as the functional component mounting member side convex portion is configured to be fitted in a tight fit state.

当該構成によれば、傾斜面5dと傾斜面6dとの間の幅(図7中の左右幅)を傾斜面34aと傾斜面35aとの間の幅寸法(図7中の左右幅)よりも広くしたことで、半円形凹部34Xと半円形凸部5X、及び、半円形凹部35Xと半円形凸部6Xとが嵌合される場合、傾斜面5d,6dが傾斜面34a,35aに押圧されて、半円形凸部5X,6Xが中心軸2X側に押し縮められることによって、加速度センサ51を埋設した仕切凸部33がきつく締め付けられて拘束されることになる。
従って、実施形態1の機能部品装置50と同様に、実施形態1の機能部品装置50によれば、機能部品側被取付部30の底部に形成された仕切凸部33X内に加速度センサ51が埋設されたので、加速度センサ51をタイヤ60の内面に近付けることができるとともに、機能部品29の機能部品側被取付部30が凹部2Aに嵌合状態に取付けられた場合に、加速度センサ51を埋設した仕切凸部33Xが締め付けられて拘束され、仕切凸部33Xの壁面33c,33cと仕切凹部8Xの壁面8c,8cとが隙間無く密着状態となるため、加速度センサ51がタイヤ60の内面70に発生する振動を正確に計測できる機能部品装置50となる。
According to this configuration, the width between the inclined surface 5d and the inclined surface 6d (the left-right width in FIG. 7) is larger than the width dimension between the inclined surface 34a and the inclined surface 35a (the left-right width in FIG. 7). By widening, when the semicircular concave portion 34X and the semicircular convex portion 5X and the semicircular concave portion 35X and the semicircular convex portion 6X are fitted, the inclined surfaces 5d and 6d are pressed against the inclined surfaces 34a and 35a. As the semicircular convex portions 5X and 6X are compressed toward the central axis 2X, the partition convex portion 33 in which the acceleration sensor 51 is embedded is tightened and restrained.
Therefore, similarly to the functional component device 50 of the first embodiment, according to the functional component device 50 of the first embodiment, the acceleration sensor 51 is embedded in the partition convex portion 33X formed at the bottom of the functional component-side attached portion 30. Therefore, the acceleration sensor 51 can be brought close to the inner surface of the tire 60, and the acceleration sensor 51 is embedded when the functional component side attached portion 30 of the functional component 29 is attached to the recessed portion 2A. The partition convex portion 33X is tightened and restrained, and the wall surfaces 33c, 33c of the partition convex portion 33X and the wall surfaces 8c, 8c of the partition concave portion 8X are in close contact with each other, so that the acceleration sensor 51 is generated on the inner surface 70 of the tire 60. Thus, the functional component device 50 can accurately measure the vibration to be performed.

本発明の機能部品装置は、機能部品と、機能部品の機能部品側被取付部を嵌合状態に取付けるための凹部と当該凹部の内底部と対向してタイヤの内面に取付けられる底面とを有したゴム製の機能部品取付部材とを備えた機能部品装置であって、機能部品側被取付部の底部に設けられた被取付部側凸部と、凹部の内底部に設けられて前記被取付部側凸部と嵌合する機能部品取付部材側凹部と、被取付部側凸部内に埋設された振動検出手段としての加速度センサとを、を備えた構成であればよい。
当該構成であっても、加速度センサをタイヤの内面に近付けることができるとともに、機能部品の機能部品側被取付部が凹部に嵌合状態に取付けられた場合に、加速度センサを埋設した被取付部側凸部が当該被取付部側凸部を挟む機能部品取付部材側凹部の両側の凸部によって締め上げられて拘束され、機能部品取付部材側凹部の壁面と当該機能部品取付部材側凹部に嵌合する被取付部側凸部の壁面とが隙間無く密着した状態となるため、加速度センサがタイヤの内面に発生する振動を正確に計測できる機能部品装置を得ることができるからである。
Embodiment 3

A functional component device including a functional component mounting member made of rubber, wherein the mounted portion side convex portion provided at the bottom of the functional component side mounted portion, and the mounted portion provided at the inner bottom portion of the concave portion The functional component mounting member-side concave portion to be fitted to the portion-side convex portion and an acceleration sensor as vibration detecting means embedded in the attached portion-side convex portion may be used.
Even if it is the said structure, when the acceleration sensor can be brought close to the inner surface of the tire and the functional component side mounted portion of the functional component is fitted in the recessed portion, the mounted portion in which the acceleration sensor is embedded The side convex portion is tightened and restrained by the convex portions on both sides of the concave portion on the functional component mounting member side that sandwich the convex portion on the mounted portion side, and is fitted into the wall surface of the concave portion on the functional component mounting member side and the concave portion on the functional component mounting member side. This is because the wall surface of the fitting portion-side convex portion to be joined is in close contact with the gap, so that a functional component device can be obtained in which the acceleration sensor can accurately measure the vibration generated on the inner surface of the tire.

実施形態2,3の機能部品装置がタイヤの内面に取付けられたタイヤ、即ち、加速度センサを埋設した被取付部側凸部と嵌合する機能部品取付台座側凹部の壁面がタイヤの周方向と交差(好ましくは直交)するように、機能部品装置がタイヤの内面に取付けられた構成のタイヤであっても、実施形態1のタイヤと同様に、タイヤの内面に発生する振動を正確に計測できるタイヤとなる。   The functional component device according to the second and third embodiments is mounted on the inner surface of the tire, that is, the wall surface of the functional component mounting base side recess that fits the mounted portion side convex portion in which the acceleration sensor is embedded is the circumferential direction of the tire. Even if the functional component device is a tire mounted on the inner surface of the tire so as to intersect (preferably orthogonal), the vibration generated on the inner surface of the tire can be accurately measured as in the tire of the first embodiment. Become a tire.

一般に振動伝達性能は振動が伝わる部材の剛性が高いほど良好である。
図2に示した実施形態1の構成の機能部品装置、図7に示した実施形態2の構成の機能部品装置、実施形態3の構成の機能部品装置、図8に示した従来の構成の機能部品装置をそれぞれタイヤの内面に装着した際の、加速度センサの位置でのタイヤ周方向の剛性を計算した。結果は以下の通りである。
・実施形態1の機能部品装置→35000(N/m)
・実施形態2の機能部品装置→40000(N/m)
・実施形態3の機能部品装置→30000(N/m)
・従来の構成の機能部品装置→20000(N/m)
即ち、実施形態1乃至3の機能部品装置では、加速度センサを埋設した被取付部側凸部が拘束されるため、加速度センサの位置でのタイヤ周方向の剛性が向上するので、振動伝達特性が改善され、加速度センサがタイヤの内面に発生する振動を正確に計測できる機能部品装置となる。
一方、従来の構成の機能部品装置では、機能部品の機能部品側被取付部の底部と機能部品取付部材の内底部との機械的凹凸嵌合が無い構成では、底面接触部ですべりが生じるため、機能部品装置の支持剛性が低くなり、振動伝達特性が悪化する。

-Functional component device of Embodiment 1 → 35000 (N / m)
-Functional component device of Embodiment 2 → 40000 (N / m)
-Functional component device of Embodiment 3 → 30000 (N / m)
・ Conventional functional device → 20000 (N / m)

The functional component device is improved, and the acceleration sensor can accurately measure the vibration generated on the inner surface of the tire.
On the other hand, in the functional component device of the conventional configuration, in the configuration where there is no mechanical uneven fitting between the bottom of the functional component side mounted portion of the functional component and the inner bottom of the functional component mounting member, slip occurs at the bottom contact portion. The support rigidity of the functional component device is lowered, and the vibration transmission characteristics are deteriorated.
