Embodiment Construction

[0022] The illustrated embodiment shows a tire changer with a receiving device 10 movable in a horizontal direction (as shown with an arrow H) and a vertical direction (as shown with an arrow V) and the motor vehicle wheel The rim 12 of 14 can be fixed to the receiving device 10 . The vehicle wheel 14 also includes tires 15 . The receiving device 10 may have a receiving rod, a wheel on which to place the rim 12 or a clamp arm to support the rim 12, or other supporting means. The rim 12 is connected in a non-rotatable manner to the receiving device 10 by means of fixing means, in particular clamping means. The receiving device 10 is rotated by rotary drive means (not shown), which may be in the form of an electric motor.

[0023] The illustrated embodiment also includes at least one fitting or dismounting tool 16, which is brought into contact with the sidewall of the tire 15 from below and above near the bead when the motor vehicle wheel 14 is arranged horizontally. When th...

Abstract

The invention concerns a method for mounting a tyre on a rim to form a motor vehicle wheel and for demounting a tyre from a rim with at least one fitting or removal tool, wherein images of the wheel (14) or the rim (12) are created by a vision system (21) and corresponding signals are sent to a computer (18; 28), wherein commands to move the at least one fitting or removal tool (16) are sent to the at least one fitting or removal tool (16) by the computer (18; 30), wherein the signals of the vision system (21) and the commands sent to the at least one fitting or removal tool (16) are correlated to define the position of the at least one fitting or removal tool relative to the rim contour and wherein the movement of the at least one fitting or removal tool (16) is guided in dependence on the performed correlation without contacting the rim surface. Furthermore, the invention concerns an apparatus for mounting a tyre on a rim to form a motor vehicle wheel and for demounting a tyre from a rim.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a method for mounting a tire on a rim to form a motor vehicle wheel and for removing the tire from the rim. Furthermore, the invention relates to a device for mounting a tire on a rim to form a motor vehicle wheel and for detaching the tire from the rim. Background technique [0002] From US No. 3877505 is known a device with a receiving device to which a rim of a motor vehicle wheel can be fastened. The receiving device can be rotated by a rotary drive, for example an electric motor, during the assembly or disassembly operation. The tire can be fitted to or released from the rim by fitting or dismounting tools. Sensing means in the form of protrusions are provided on the removal tool, which sense the radially outer surface of the rim (the rim seat) and comprise a material which does not damage the material of the rim, for example a plastic material. This ensures that the removal tool maintains a given distance from ...
