Wireless sensor for machine parts with pressure and temperature sensors
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11899081B2) discloses a wireless sensor designed for an associated machine or machine part. The sensor includes a property sensor with a communicative link, a pressure sensor, and a temperature sensor to measure properties related to the machine. A communications module wirelessly transmits data received from the property sensor, with control circuitry managing the information flow. An energy source powers the sensor components, which are arranged in a stack within a housing structure connected to a sensor mount on the machine. The sensor also features connector pins, a sealing material, a magnetic sensor/switch, and a motion sensor to enhance functionality and data collection capabilities.
Furthermore, the patent describes a smart device app method stored on a computer-readable storage medium that configures a smart device to interact with multiple wireless sensors without the need for pairing. The app allows for the display of information received from the sensors, including data on pressure, temperature, battery status, and more. The method also includes features such as displaying sensor identifiers based on signal strength, error detection, and power status, as well as highlighting specific data based on predefined parameters. Overall, the wireless sensor system and accompanying smart device app aim to provide comprehensive monitoring and data visualization capabilities for various machine parts, enhancing operational efficiency and maintenance processes in industrial settings.
