Abstract:
Peristaltic Self-Inflating Tyre System (PSITS) is based on the peristaltic pump principle. This system is designed in order to constantly maintain the tyre pressure thereby improving safety of an automobile in times of emergency caused by perforation (by nails, screws, thorns, etc.,) or any other deformation. The PSITS uses a valve that pulls in air from the atmosphere. It then pumps the air into the under-inflated tyre using a peristaltic-pump action. The goal is to constantly maintain a specific pressure inside the tyre. The system consists of a thin tube that has a peristaltic part and a reservoir part, which has constant volume. The ratio of the total tube volume (peristaltic part volume + reservoir part volume) to the volume of the reservoir part defines the output pressure of the system. Summarized, integrating a simple thin tubing into a tyre and mounting a simple valve on one end of the tubing will secure inflation of the tyre with small amounts of air at constant pressure at every revolution of the tyre using rollers (coupled with the rotating tyres) until the tyre pressure reaches the predefined critical pressure. Then the inflation stops.
