Embodiment Construction

[0034] figure 1 is a schematic perspective view of a sensing device 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The sensing device 1 includes, as its main components, a first sensing unit 10 and a second sensing unit (not shown), the first sensing unit is preferably an optical sensing unit, and the second sensing unit Includes position sensitive components. The sensing device 1 also includes a housing 30 and a cover 40 provided at an upper end of the housing 30 .

[0035] exist figure 1 , the drive device 20 is also shown, which can be coupled to the frame of the wheel repairing machine 50 via attachment elements AE (cf. figure 2 ). The drive means 20 , which is a micro-stepping motor, comprises a motor shaft to which the sensing means 1 is coupled so as to perform a pivoting movement. The motor shaft of the drive means or motor 20 provides a pivot axis AP about which the sensing means 1 pivots in a pivot direction DP.

[0036] In this example, the drive me...

Abstract

The invention relates to a wheel service machine with a compact sensing device. The present invention relates to a wheel service machine and a method for servicing a wheel. The wheel service machine (50), like a tyre changer or a wheel balancer, for servicing a wheel (W), like a vehicle wheel, comprises a rotary mounting member including a shaft (S) to which the wheel (W) is mounted, a framework for carrying at least the rotary mounting member and a sensing device (1) mounted to the framework, for determining geometrical dimensions of the wheel (W), or parts of the wheel (W), the sensing device (1) comprises a carrier element (30) and a first sensing unit (10) for sensing the wheel (W) and computing means for determining the geometrical dimensions of the wheel (W) based on the data received from the sensing device (1), the first sensing unit (10) being mounted on the carrier element (30), the wheel service machine further comprises a drive means (20) for enabling a pivotal movement of the sensing device (1), wherein the drive means (20) is a micro stepper motor.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a sensing device for sensing the geometry of an object, such as a wheel, in particular a wheel, and for determining the geometry of the object; the invention relates to a maintenance device for wheels, which is equipped with There is a sensing device for determining the geometry of a wheel; the invention also relates to a method for determining the geometry of a wheel, eg a wheel, for determining the geometry of a wheel. Background technique [0002] In practice, wheel repair machines are known, such as mounting / removing machines or wheel balancing machines; said mounting / removing machines are used for mounting tires to wheels, in particular to the rims of wheels, or for The tire is dismounted from the wheel, especially the rim of the wheel; only the rim or tire of the wheel or tire / rim combination is checked on said wheel balancing machine, e.g. to detect imbalances in the wheel or deformation of the tire or rim, A rim profil...
