Abstract:
The present invention concerns un rotary joint ( 10, 10′ ) apt to transfer a fluid between two entities, one of which is in rotary motion with respect to the other, said rotary joint ( 10, 10′ ) being characterised in that it comprises a cylindrical internal element ( 11 ), apt to be fixed to said entity in rotary motion, and a plurality of annular external elements ( 14, 15, 17, 18 ), which can be coupled and which are self-centering, which can be fitted modularly, said external elements ( 14, 15, 17, 18 ) comprising at least two head elements ( 14 ), at least two housing elements ( 15 ) of respective gaskets ( 16 ), two bearing elements ( 17 ) and at least one fluid inlet element ( 18 ), said at least one fluid inlet element ( 18 ) being placed in an intermediate position between said two bearing elements ( 17 ), said at least two housing elements ( 15 ) of respective gaskets ( 16 ) being arranged externally with respect to said two bearing elements ( 17 ) and said at least two head elements ( 14 ) being arranged externally with respect to said at least two housing elements ( 15 ) of respective gaskets ( 16 ), said gaskets ( 16 ) defining an annular shaped sealed area in the space delimited laterally by the same gaskets ( 16 ), internally by said internal element ( 11 ) and externally by said external elements ( 14, 15, 17, 18 ) comprised between said gaskets ( 16 ), said sealed area being accessible on one side through said fluid inlet element ( 18 ) and on the other side through at least one fluid passage channel ( 20, 21 ) passing through the body of said internal element ( 11 ) up to one of the two axial ends. Moreover, the invention concerns pressure regulation systems of a tire (B) comprising said rotary joint ( 10, 10′ ).

Claim (Index 13):
Pressure regulation system of a tire (B) characterised in that it comprises a rotary joint ( 10 ,  10 \u2032), as defined in  claim 3 , in combination with the hydraulic circuit of said non-rotating entity, a reservoir ( 34 ), a compressor ( 36 ) connected to a hydraulic motor ( 37 ), said reservoir ( 34 ), said compressor ( 36 ) and said hydraulic motor ( 37 ) being placed in the rim (A) of said tire (B), said reservoir ( 34 ) being filled with air under pressure and being in fluid communication with said tire (B), through said compressor ( 36 ) and an interception valve ( 23 ); wherein a first passage channel ( 20 ) of said rotary joint ( 10 ,  10 \u2032) puts in fluid communication said hydraulic circuit with said hydraulic motor ( 37 ), in correspondence of operating means of said hydraulic motor in a first direction of rotation, and with operating means of said interception valve ( 23 ), through a valve ( 39 ), and a second passage channel ( 21 ) of said rotary joint ( 10 ,  10 \u2032) puts in fluid communication said hydraulic circuit with said hydraulic motor ( 37 ), in correspondence of operating means of said hydraulic motor in a second direction of rotation, opposite to said first direction of rotation, and with operating means of said interception valve ( 23 ), through the same valve ( 39 ) or a different valve ( 38 ).
