Problems solved by technology

[0015] This prior art does not deal with the problem of determining the state of wear and / or surface condition and / or defects of the tire, but the prior art deals with the problem of automatically determining when a wheel to be subjected to balancing is lifted from the ground so that the wheel can be lifted from the ground by The operator easily fits onto the spindle of the balancing machine
The sensor (load unit, etc.) cannot be an optical sensor because it cannot detect the force exerted on a relatively movable structural member while the wheel—the alignment or misalignment of which is to be determined—is in motion on the device. force between

Embodiment Construction

[0033] With reference to the above-mentioned drawings, and in particular to figure 1 and figure 2 , these figures show a tire changing machine 1 and a balancing machine 2 respectively. These are known types and will only be described in terms of the characteristics of the invention.

[0034] In particular, the tire changing machine 1 comprises a column 4 associated with a common part (indicated as a whole with 5) for separating the tire 6 from the rim 7, wherein the tire 6 and the rim 7 are two parts The components form the wheel 8.

[0035]The machine 1 comprises a platform of conventional type having a central pivot 9 of rotation for supporting a wheel 8, and lifting means 10 for lifting the wheel 8 from the surface P on which the machine 1 rests. Loaded to an operating height that enables the wheel to rest on the pivot 9 . The device 10 comprises a platform 12 which is preferably (but not necessarily) equipped in a generally flat portion 12A of the platform with a plur...

Abstract

A lifting device (10, 40) for at least one wheel (8) of a vehicle or for a tyre (6) is provided. The device (10, 40) comprises at least one platform (12, 41, 42) on which the wheel (8) or tyre (6) moves, the platform (12) being liftable relative to a fixed surface (P). A laser scanner (20) is placed on the movable platform (12) to detect the state of wear of the tyre (6).

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a lifting device according to the preamble of the main claim. Background technique [0002] Lifting devices for vehicle wheels or for tires have been known for some time. These devices are generally associated with, or form part of, tire changing machines or tire balancing machines. However, the term "lifting device" is used to include any platform having a flat portion on which the wheel or tire moves (by rolling), whether the tire is separate from the vehicle or associated with the vehicle. Thus, "lifting device" also includes a vehicle lift with two parallel inclines on which the vehicle is positioned for lifting. [0003] In any case, a common feature of each lifting device is that it has a platform movable relative to the surface on which the vehicle or the tire changing or balancing machine is positioned. [0004] There are also known devices for detecting the state of wear, or more generally the condition of a wheel o...
