Intelligent Evolution of Circular Plastic Flap: Embedded Sensing Embarks on a New Era for Tires
When the Internet of Things integrates with new materials, Circular plastic flaps also embark on the path of "intelligent evolution". The latest developed "intelligent tire bead partition" embeds micro strain sensors and wireless transmission modules in traditional structures, which can monitor stress, temperature, and deformation data in the bead area in real time.
These data are transmitted to the vehicle ECU system through Bluetooth or NFC technology, combined with AI algorithms, to warn of abnormal tire pressure, improper installation, tire bead fatigue, or potential risk of bead detachment, providing active safety support for drivers. In commercial fleet management, this technology can achieve remote monitoring of tire health status and reduce tire blowout accident rates.
A certain new energy vehicle company has incorporated this technology into the next generation of intelligent tire standards, calling it the "bead health manager". It transforms tires from passive load-bearing components to active sensing terminals, providing critical data support for autonomous driving and connected vehicles.
What is even more exciting is that in the future, energy harvesting technology may be combined to enable self powered operation of sensors, truly achieving "maintenance free intelligent tires". The intelligent evolution of the bead separator is not only an upgrade in materials, but also an important milestone for tires to move towards digitization and intelligence.
