Description

A TRACKING SYSTEM FOR WHEELS
Technical Field
The present invention relates to a tracking system that enables a center to be informed in response to detecting removal of wheels from vehicles in which they are used.
Backqround of the Invention
In vehicles such as cars, buses, trucks, motorcycles, etc., wheels are used to allow the vehicle to move properly on a ground. Said wheels generally comprise at least one rim for connection with the vehicle, and a tire located on the rim. In general, tires used in such vehicles have a flexible structure, such as a pneumatic tire, and they ensure that the vibrations are damped during a movement of the vehicle on a ground.
Especially, the pneumatic tires may be relatively easily damaged due to environmental factors. For example, a pointy object stuck in the pneumatic tire may cause air inside the tire to escape outside and render the tire unusable. For that reason, in particular in such cases, it is preferred for the wheels comprising said tires to be easily replaced because having difficulty in replacing the tire may leave the driver in a difficult situation especially if the tire is damaged in a location far from residential areas.
Although easy replacement of vehicle wheels is a preferred application, this feature also has some risks. Easy replacement of the wheels causes unauthorized persons to easily detach the wheels from the vehicle. In particular, since the rims and tires of expensive vehicles are relatively expensive as well, such theft cases occur frequently.
In order to solve said theft problems, connection structures with locking mechanisms are used in the known art, which make it difficult to detach vehicle wheel from the vehicle. In such structures, at least one of the wheel studs connecting the rim and the vehicle can be disengaged by means of a rim wrench specific to the vehicle. Despite of the fact that such applications dissuade thieves, sufficient protection cannot be provided. Moreover, in case the vehicle owner loses the key or forgets it in the garage, problems as being incapable of replacing the vehicle tire are encountered.
Brief Description of the Invention
According to the present invention, there is provided a tracking system which is suitable for use in a vehicle having at least one rim connected to the vehicle by means of at least one wheel stud and at least one wheel comprising at least one pneumatic tire located on the rim, wherein the tracking system enables a center to be informed in response to detecting removal of wheels from vehicles. The tracking system comprises at least one magnetic area in at least one wheel stud or at least one magnetic element located on at least one wheel stud; at least one magnetic sensor for detecting magnetic force of at least one magnetic area in the wheel stud or of at least one magnetic element located on the wheel stud; at least one pressure sensor for detecting an internal pressure of said pneumatic tire; at least one control unit which is in connection with the magnetic sensor and the pressure sensor and detects removal of at least one wheel stud from the vehicle based on the information received from the magnetic sensor, and detects a deflated tire based on the information received from the pressure sensor; and at least one communication unit which is in connection with the control unit and enables the information, which is detected by the control unit regarding removal of the wheel stud from the vehicle and/or a deflated tire, to be transmitted to at least one remote server.
In the tracking system according to the present invention, removal of a wheel from the vehicle is determined by removal of at least one magnetic area in at least one wheel stud or at least one magnetic element located on at least one wheel stud from the magnetic sensor. Here, as an internal pressure of tire is detected in addition to removal of wheel from the vehicle, it can also be detected for what purpose the wheel is removed from the vehicle. Thus, possible wheel replacements and possible theft conditions are able to be distinguished so that necessary measures can be taken. Object of the Invention
An object of the present invention is to provide a tracking system that enables a center to be informed in response to detecting removal of wheels from vehicles in which they are used.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a tracking system for detecting a reason for the wheels to be detached from the vehicle.
A further object of the present invention is to provide a practical and reliable tracking system.
Description of the Invention
Since the pneumatic tires used in vehicles such as cars, buses, trucks, motorcycles, etc. can easily be damaged during use of the vehicle, wheels comprising pneumatic tires are attached to the vehicle such that end users can easily replace the wheels. However, easy detachment of wheels from the vehicles can cause unauthorized people to steal them. Therefore, with the present invention, a tracking system is provided which enables a center (a remote server) to be informed in response to detecting removal of wheels from vehicles.
The tracking system according to the present invention is suitable for use in a vehicle having at least one rim connected to the vehicle by means of at least one wheel stud and at least one wheel comprising at least one pneumatic tire located on the rim, wherein the tracking system comprises at least one magnetic area in at least one wheel stud or at least one magnetic element located on at least one wheel stud; at least one magnetic sensor, preferably located at said vehicle, for detecting magnetic force of at least one magnetic area in the wheel stud or of at least one magnetic element located on the wheel stud; at least one pressure sensor (e.g. a TPMS system covered by known applications) for detecting an internal pressure of said pneumatic tire; at least one control unit which is in connection with the magnetic sensor and the pressure sensor and detects removal of at least one wheel stud (thus, of the wheel) from the vehicle based on the information received from the magnetic sensor, and detects a deflated tire based on the information received from the pressure sensor; and at least one communication unit which is in connection with the control unit and enables the information, which is detected by the control unit regarding removal of the wheel stud from the vehicle and/or a deflated tire, to be transmitted to at least one remote server. Here, at least one part of said wheel stud may be magnetized or at least one wheel stud cap having a magnet structure (or containing a magnet) may be used as at least one magnetic element positioned on the wheel stud.
In an exemplary embodiment of the invention, detachment of a wheel from the vehicle is detected by detachment of the wheel stud from the vehicle. In order to detach the wheel from the vehicle, all the wheel studs connecting the rim to the vehicle should first be removed from the vehicle. Here, removal of at least one wheel stud from the vehicle is determined by means of a magnetic sensor. When the wheel stud is removed from the vehicle, the magnetic part in the wheel stud or the magnetic element located on the wheel stud is also removed from the vehicle and the rim. This causes changes in the magnetic force on the magnetic sensor which is preferably located in the vehicle. Thanks to the fact that this change is detected by means of the magnetic sensor, removal of the wheel stud, thus the wheel from the vehicle is detected. The reason for a wheel to be removed from the vehicle may be theft, or the tire on the wheel may be damaged and replaced. In order to distinguish these two conditions, in the system according to the present invention, an internal pressure of the pneumatic tire is also measured in addition to determining detachment of wheel from the vehicle. Here, if there is a drop in internal pressure of the tire in case the wheel is detached, this can be interpreted as a wheel replacement due to a possible tire failure. If no change is detected in tire pressure in case the wheel is detached, this can be interpreted as a possible theft. Here, as the conditions detected by the control unit are transmitted to the remote server, said conditions of possible wheel replacement and possible theft are analyzed at the remote server (e.g. a control center) side and necessary measures can be taken. Here, in addition to the conditions detected by the control unit, at least one vehicle specific information (such as the license plate of the vehicle) can also be transmitted to the remote server. Therefore, for example in a fleet tracking system, wheel condition information of each vehicle can be tracked separately.
In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the magnetic sensor comprises at least one reed switch. In this embodiment, when the wheel stud is attached to the vehicle, the magnetic part in the wheel stud or the magnetic element located on the wheel stud brings the reed switch into a closed position. If the wheel stud is removed from the vehicle, the switch is brought into an opened position due to the lack of magnetic force on the reed switch. Thus, it can be detected whether the wheel stud is removed from the vehicle or not. However, here, for example by using an external magnet, a magnetic force can be generated on the reed switch even when the wheel studs are removed from the vehicle. In order to detect this situation, in another preferred embodiment of the invention, the magnetic sensor comprises at least two reed switches which are positioned at different distances with respect to the wheel stud or triggered by different magnetic forces. In this embodiment, when the wheel stud is attached to the vehicle, at least one of the reed switches (which is close to the wheel stud or triggered by a lower magnetic force) is in the closed position, and at least another reed switch (which is remote from the wheel stud or triggered by a higher magnetic force) is in the opened position. Here, when an external magnet is used to misguide the magnetic sensor, the external magnet enables the opened reed switch to be brought in the closed position, as well. Therefore, it can be detected whether there is a malicious intervention from the outside. Yet in an alternative embodiment, the magnetic sensor comprises at least one magnetic force measurement device. In this embodiment, as an amount of power on the magnetic sensor can be measured precisely, usage of an external magnet can also be detected in addition to detachment of the wheel stud.
In another preferred embodiment of the invention, the tracking system comprises at least one position sensor (e.g. GPS). In this embodiment, when the control unit detects detachment of wheel from the vehicle and/or a drop in the internal pressure of the tire, the position information of the vehicle is transmitted to the remote server in addition to said condition information. Therefore, position-based measures can be taken (such as directing local law enforcement officers to the location of the vehicle in case of a theft) depending on the condition detected.
In another preferred embodiment of the invention, the communication unit comprises at least one GSM connection module. Thus, data can be transmitted to the remote server without a need to an external connection point. In another preferred embodiment of the invention, the tracking system comprises at least one aural warning module (e.g. an alarm) which is preferably located at the vehicle and in connection with the control unit. In this embodiment, for example if the control unit detects removal of the wheel stud from the vehicle without a drop in the tire pressure, the aural warning module is activated in order to have a deterrent effect against a possible theft. Therefore, for example, it is also enabled that the vehicle user or another authorized person is informed and/or the thief is frightened and caused to escape.
In the tracking system according to the present invention, removal of a wheel from the vehicle is determined by removal of at least one magnetic area in at least one wheel stud or at least one magnetic element located on at least one wheel stud from the magnetic sensor. Here, as an internal pressure of tire is detected in addition to removal of wheel from the vehicle, it can also be detected for what purpose the wheel is removed from the vehicle. Thus, possible wheel replacements and possible theft conditions are able to be distinguished so that necessary measures can be taken.
