Summary: | PURPOSE: An inline pumping assembly for a self-inflating tire is provided to compensate for tire pressure reduction as time goes by through tire self-inflation. CONSTITUTION: An inline pumping assembly for a self-inflating tire comprises a tire carcass and a pump assembly(14). The tire carcass comprises a ring-shaped air tube housing groove. The pump assembly comprises an air tube(50), a tube shape inflow device(54), and a discharging device(52). The air tube comprises an axial air passage. The tube shape inflow device is located along the air tube. The inflow device comprises an inflow body and an air filter sleeve. The tube shape inflow device comprises an inner air passage and one or more inflow openings. The inner air passage is connected to the air tube by inline. An inflow opening allows the air inflow and is expanded through the inflow body. The discharging device comprises a discharging body, an axial passage, and one or more discharging passage tubes(84, 86). The discharging passage tubes are extended into a tire cavity through a carcass wall. |
