Abstract
The invention relates to the field of tire pressure detection technologies, and discloses a tire pressure sensor including: a valve assembly including a mounting portion and an elastic telescopic structure mounted to the mounting portion, the elastic telescopic structure elastically extending and retracting on at least one side of the mounting portion; a sensor assembly having two opposite clamping surfaces, at least one of the two clamping surfaces being provided with a locking hole, the mounting portion being located between two of the clamping surfaces, and the elastic telescopic structure being inserted into the locking hole. After the elastic telescopic structure is shortened, the mounting portion of the valve assembly may be inserted between the two clamping surfaces. When the mounting portion of the valve assembly is located between the two clamping surfaces, the elastic telescopic structure may be extended and inserted into the locking hole automatically, so that the valve assembly and the sensor assembly may be installed conveniently, and no additional tools are required.
