    [0001] FIELD OF THE INVENTION [001] The present invention relates to an asymmetrical tire inside which an electronic device is installed and this for any type of vehicle. The invention relates more particularly to passenger tires. [002] A tire comprises a crown comprising a tread intended to come into contact with the ground via a rolling surface, two beads intended to come into contact with a rim and two sidewalls connecting the top to the beads. [003] A tire having a geometry of revolution with respect to an axis of rotation, the tire geometry is generally described in a meridian plane containing the axis of rotation of the tire. For a given meridian plane, the radial, axial and circumferential directions respectively designate the directions perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the tire, parallel to the axis of rotation of the tire and perpendicular to the meridian plane. [004] In the following, the expressions "radially inner to" and "radially outside to" respectively mean "closer to the axis of rotation of the tire, in the radial direction, than" and "further from the axis of rotation of the tire, in the radial direction, that ». The expressions "axially inner to" and "axially outside to" respectively mean "closer to the equatorial plane, in the axial direction, than" and "further from the equatorial plane, in the axial direction, than". A "radial distance" is a distance from the axis of rotation of the tire, and an "axial distance" is a distance from the equatorial plane of the tire. A "radial thickness" is measured in the radial direction, and an "axial width" is measured in the axial direction. [005] Asymmetrical tire means tires such that a mounting direction on the vehicle is predetermined by the manufacturer. They comprise an outer axial edge and an inner axial edge, the inner axial edge being the edge intended to be mounted on the side of the vehicle body when the tire is mounted on the vehicle according to said predetermined mounting direction and vice versa for the axial edge. P10-3576_EN 3034709 - 2 - outside. In the document "outer side of the vehicle" means the outer axial edge. [006] Generally the most radially inner material on all parts of the tire, flanks, beads and apex, is designed to seal the tire in order to maintain a constant pressure and also to preserve the other materials radially external to it. effects of the inflation gas, especially oxygen. This most radially inner material, whatever its nature, is called inner liner. BACKGROUND [007] It is often interesting to install inside the tire, as described in the documents. US20110041309A1, US20110041977A1, US20110113630A1 and particularly on the inner liner, an electronic device that is an electronic sensor, such as in particular a pressure sensor, temperature sensor, an accelerometer or an identification system (RFID). These electronic devices are intended to send to the receivers located or not in the vehicle, on demand or continuously, information about the tire, its rolling parameters or an identification code. The information received may be used, inter alia, to inform the driver, for example of a variation in pressure, of the value of a temperature, to adjust the vehicle parameters in real time or to help the professional who has access to them. charge to the maintenance management of the tire or the vehicle. Between the electronic device and the inner liner, there is a material for adhesion of the object to the tire generally a polymeric mixture called interface mixture. [8] These devices as shown in JP2011020557, have sometimes been installed on the bead which is the most static area of the tire rolling. However, the assembly and disassembly of a tire is such that the bead undergoes deformations making this installation difficult. [9] Regarding the flanks, these are the areas that experience the most deformations during taxiing and therefore they are also unfavorable areas to accommodate this type of device. [10] In solutions where the electronic device is placed under the top, such as US2011 / 0041309 A1, it is positioned in the equatorial plane of the tire. Indeed, this position has the advantage of symmetry and eliminates the mounting position of the tire on the vehicle, but it does not achieve the desired performance in terms of held at speed by some manufacturers of so-called sports vehicles. Indeed to improve the handling of these vehicles, the latter 5 often have a significant camber which results in an asymmetry of the contact area. These two characteristics result in the use of asymmetric tires for so-called sports vehicles. For asymmetric tires in this use, the positioning of the electronic device in the equatorial plane is no longer an optimum. [011] One of the difficulties in installing an electronic device in the tire on the sidewalls, the beads or at the equator under the top, is that its presence is unfavorable to the endurance of the tire especially at high speed because of the efforts and deformations that he undergoes. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The main object of the present invention is therefore to increase the high speed endurance of an asymmetrical tire comprising an electronic device. [013] This objective is achieved by a tire with a maximum axial width LT, intended to be mounted on a mounting rim, comprising: - two beads intended to come into contact with the mounting rim, a top comprising a tread intended to be in contact with a ground, two sidewalls connecting the top to the beads, - the asymmetrical tread according to the equatorial plane, delimiting two axial edges of the tread and one of whose edges is intended for be positioned on the outside of a vehicle on which the mounting rim is attached, - an inner liner from the most radially inner top to the top, - an electronic device; the electronic device being installed in the tire under the crown, radially internally to the inner gum of the crown, on the axial edge side of the tread intended to be positioned on the outside of the vehicle relative to the equatorial plane. P10-3576_EN 3034709 - 4 - [014] The maximum axial width of the tire is measured at the sidewalls, the tire being mounted on its rim and slightly inflated, that is to say inflated to a pressure equal to 10% of the tire. nominal pressure as recommended, for example, by the Tire and Rim Association or TRA. [015] The forces or deformations that are applied to the electronic device are important both when mounting the tire on the rim or during use. In particular, the centrifugal force exerted in the rolling tire is such that the most suitable part for the installation of such a device is the top. In this case, the centrifugal force results in the compression of the interface mixture, a deformation for which the polymeric materials have a high strength and not a shear strain for which the polymeric materials have a lower strength. For positioning on the flanges and flanks, the centrifugal force results in high interface mixture shear forces which are detrimental to its endurance, which may cause the electronic device to peel off. [016] However, the installation of the electronic device in the equatorial plane is only interesting under a symmetrical bias. During a turn, the tires located on the side of the instantaneous center of rotation of the vehicle relative to the center of gravity of the vehicle are relieved of the load by the effect of the centrifugal force and therefore the load on these tires is not not the maximum stress that the tire has to undergo and therefore also the interface between the electronic device and the tire. On the other hand, the tires situated on the opposite side of the instantaneous center of rotation of the vehicle with respect to the center of gravity of the vehicle, called the outside of the bend, are subjected to a load transfer which makes this situation the most penalizing condition of the vehicle. use of the tire. Under the effect of this load, the contact area undergoes a deformation close to a camber and such that the tread portion located at the equator undergoes a non-zero circumferential force which equilibrates with the circumferential force in the opposite direction on the part of the outer axial edge of the tread on the outside of the vehicle. Between these two zones, the equator and the axial edge on the outside of the vehicle, the area of the tread is an area where the circumferential force is the lowest. This is the most suitable area to install an electronic device. When the tire undergoes significant camber due to the configuration of the vehicle, this same area is also the most suitable for installing an electronic device. One of the preferred embodiments is that the electronic device comprises at least one measurement sensor for measuring at least one parameter of the tire. Indeed, electronic devices of particular interest for this type of tire and of use, are temperature or pressure sensors transmitting these parameters measured in the tire to the driver of the vehicle in order to prevent it from improper operation in the vehicle. objective that the latter adapts his mode of driving, for example his speed. [18] It is advantageous that the axial distance between the center of gravity of the electronic device and the equatorial plane is at least equal to 5% of the maximum axial width of the tire LT to avoid the area most stressed by the axial forces , of the part of the tread positioned on the outside of the vehicle. [19] It is particularly advantageous that the axial distance between the center of gravity of the electronic device and the equatorial plane is at most equal to 25% of the maximum axial width of the tire LT to avoid the area most stressed by the axial forces. brakes, the part of the tread positioned on the outside of the vehicle. [20] In a preferred embodiment, the center of gravity of the electronic device is located radially in line with a circumferential groove of the tread. This embodiment makes it possible to reduce the temperature at the interface between the electronic device and the tire and thus to improve the resistance of the interface mixture. In fact, due to a decrease in the thicknesses of the polymeric materials of the tire directly above a circumferential groove, the heat production by deformation of these materials is locally lower and therefore the temperature is locally lower. [21] Groove means any hollow zone of the generally circumferential tread and generally around the tire, delimited by material walls facing each other and distant from each other by a distance of not Zero, with a depth of at least 2 mm when the tire is new. These walls can not come into contact with each other under the usual conditions of rolling. A circumferential groove has two generally circumferential direction walls, one axially inner and the other axially outer. P10-3576_UK 3034709 - 6 - [022] By a position perpendicular to the circumferential groove, it is meant that the center of gravity of the electronic device is axially external to the axially inner wall of the groove and axially inner to the wall axially outer groove with an axial positioning tolerance of 5 mm. [023] It is also advantageous that the center of gravity of the electronic device is located radially in line with a rib of the tread. Indeed, under heavy loads, the first buckling of the top are not located under the ribs, but under the grooves. These buckles generate significant deformations that can deteriorate the interface mixture between the inner liner and the electronic device. In this case, positioning the electronic device vertically above a rib improves the endurance of the interface mixture and therefore of the tire. [24] Ribbing means a raised element formed on a tread, which element extends in the circumferential direction and generally around the tire, having a height of at least 2 mm when the tire is new. A rib comprises two axial walls and a contact face, the latter being intended to come into contact with the ground while driving. A circumferential rib has two generally circumferential direction walls, one axially inner and the other axially outer. A rib may not be circumferentially continuous but be notched in particular in the case of a tire dedicated to winter use. [25] By positioning vertically above the rib, it is meant that the center of gravity of the electronic device is axially external to the axially inner wall of the rib and axially inner to the axially outer wall of the rib with a tolerance. axial positioning of 5 mm. [26] Advantageously, the circumferential position of the electronic device is opposite to the static unbalance of the tire in order to allow the most economical static and dynamic balancing. Indeed the mass of some current electronic devices are close to the balancing pads used to correct the imperfect mass distributions, called unbalance, the volume of revolution that is the tire and causing imbalance. The electronic device can thus be used as a pellet so as to reduce the remaining mass of balancing pills to be added. P10-3576_UK 3034709 - 7 - [27] The installation of the electronic device requires a laying operation, so it is advantageous if at least one balancing pad is positioned radially internally to the tire inner liner so as to satisfy the static and dynamic balancing requirements during the same operation with a view to reducing the costs associated with this operation. This operation of adding a balancing pad is all the more interesting that the circumferential position of the static unbalance of the tire is already determined to position the electronic device and therefore does not require a new determination.
    [0002] BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS [28] The features and other advantages of the invention will be better understood with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4, said figures not being represented on a scale but in a simplified manner, in order to facilitate FIG. 1 shows a tire according to the prior art, FIG. 2 illustrates the terms 'inner edge' and 'outer edge' of a tread, FIGS. 3 to 4 represent two embodiments of the invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS [29] FIG. 1 represents a tire seen in meridian section provided with an electronic device 3 according to the prior art. The tire comprises a tread 1, an inner liner 2, radially inner to the tread and an electronic device 3 radially inner to the inner liner and whose center of gravity is in the equatorial plane, positioning accuracies near. [30] Fig. 2 schematically shows tires to be mounted on wheel mounting rims of a vehicle 200 and having a predetermined mounting direction on the vehicle. It has an outer axial edge 45 and an inner axial edge 46, the outer axial edge 46 being the edge intended to be mounted on the side of the vehicle body when the tire is mounted on the vehicle in said predetermined mounting direction and vice versa for the outer axial edge 45. P10-3576_EN 3034709 - 8 - [31] Figure 3 shows a tire seen in meridian section provided with an electronic device 3 according to the invention where the center of gravity of the electronic device 3 is located on the side the outer axial edge 45 of the vehicle with respect to the equatorial plane and at a distance from the equatorial plane at least equal to 5% of the maximum axial width of the tire LT and at most equal to 25% of this width. In this figure, the center of gravity of the electronic device 3 is located radially in line with the circumferential groove 4 of the tread. [32] Figure 4 shows a tire provided with an electronic device 3 according to the invention and wherein the center of gravity of the electronic device 3 is located in line with a rib 5 of the tread. [33] The inventors have realized the invention on a tire of dimension 305 / 30ZR20 103Y, asymmetric, of maximum axial width 313 mm, tested with a camber angle of 2.5 ° in order to take into account the technical requirements of a vehicle to which it is specifically dedicated. The test consists of rolling on a metal wheel of 8.5 m circumference at a pressure of 3.2 bar and a load of 587 DaN regulated. The tire rolls in increasing speed increments, lasting 20 minutes each, the increment in speed is 10 km / h. The tires are classified according to the maximum speed reached and the driving time during the last speed step reached. [034] The tire without the electronic device reaches the plateau 370 km / h and rolls at this speed for 11 minutes. The tire according to the state of the art, namely equipped with the electronic device, a pressure sensor with a mass of 7 g, positioned according to the state of the art, and therefore installed in the tire so that its center of gravity is in the equatorial plane at the positioning tolerance close to 1% of the maximum axial width, this tire reaches the speed step 340 km / h and has a failure after one minute of driving at this speed. condition. This result compared to that of the tire not equipped with the electronic device, demonstrates the drop in endurance performance at very high speed induced by the presence of the electronic device. This failure is related to the increase of the temperature in the 15 ° C peak seen by digital simulation directly above the sensor, at the same speed between the tire without an electronic device and the tire equipped with the electronic device according to the state of the art. [035] The inventors have tested two embodiments of the invention. The first embodiment consists of installing the electronic device at a distance from the equatorial plane of 16% of the maximum axial width, in line with a rib of the tread. In this case, the tire according to the invention reaches the speed step of 360 km / h and rolls for 15 minutes on this landing. This compared to the result of the pneumatic tire equipped with the electronic device positioned in the equatorial plane, namely maximum plateau reaches 340 Km / h, demonstrates the improvement of the high-speed endurance of the tire provided with the electronic device as described by FIG. invention. [036] The second embodiment consists in installing the electronic device at a distance from the equatorial plane of 7% of the maximum axial width, directly above a groove of the tread. In this case, the tire according to the invention reaches the speed threshold of 370 km / h and rolls for 15 minutes on this bearing. The maximum peak temperature drops by almost 15 ° C. This result compared to the result of the pneumatic tire equipped with the electronic device positioned in the equatorial plane, ie maximum plateau reaches 340 Km / h, shows the improvement of the high-speed endurance of the tire provided with the electronic device as described by FIG. invention according to this second embodiment.
