TIRE MONITORING DEVICE Russian patent published in 2020 - IPC G01M17/02 

FIELD: motor vehicle industry.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to automotive tires. Device (10) for monitoring tires on a tire production line comprises detection system (104), which comprises camera (105) having line (106) of sight, lying in optical plane (107) passing through chamber (105); first light source (110), second light source (108) and third light source (109), wherein second light source (108) and third light source (109) are located on opposite sides relative to optical plane (107) and symmetrically relative to first light source (110); wherein the first light source (110) is configured to emit the first scattered light radiation onto the surface portion and the second light source (108) and the third light source (109) are configured to emit the second light radiation incident at the sliding angle and the third light radiation, falling at sliding angle, on tire surface area (200), coinciding with sight line (106) or close to it; and reflecting element (150) forming reflecting plane, located perpendicular to optical plane (107), wherein reflecting element (150) is located between second light source (108) and third light source (109), wherein reflecting element (150) is configured to reflect sight line (106) at an angle between about 60°and about 120°, wherein minimum distance between reflecting plane and camera (105) focusing plane (121), passing through the reflected line of sight is less than the minimum distance between one of the first light source (110), the second light source (108) or the third light source (109) and focusing plane (121).

EFFECT: device for monitoring tires is proposed.
