DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0028] like Figure 1-Figure 2 The figure shows a liftable wheel removal and installation cart. It includes a base 1, internally mounted with a tool tray 3 for storing tools needed for tire removal (such as wrenches and tire pressure gauges). Lockable universal wheels 2 are fixed to the four corners of the base 1, facilitating flexible movement and positioning of the cart. A support assembly is secured to the base 1 and includes a frame 4 and handles 5 fixed at each end for the operator to push or secure the cart.

[0029] like Figure 3-Figure 5 The lifting assembly shown is mounted on one side of the vehicle frame 4 and includes a chute frame 6, a sliding wheel 7, a connecting seat 8, and a steel wire rope 11. The chute frame 6 is vertically fixed to the side of the vehicle frame 4. A track is provided vertically inside the vehicle frame 4, and the sliding wheel 7 can slide up and down within the track. The two sliding wheels 7 are fixedly connected by a connecting seat 8, allowing them to move synchronously. One side of the connecting seat 8 extends out of the vehicle frame and connects to the lifting assembly, while the other side is connected to one end of the steel wire rope 11. The steel wire rope 11 passes upward through the pulley at the top of the chute frame 6, and the other end is wrapped around the two-way self-locking winch 9 located at the top of the chute frame.

[0030] The lifting assembly includes a fixed frame 12 and a lifting frame 13. The fixed frame 12 is fixedly connected to the connecting base 8 and rises and falls synchronously with the connecting base. The bottom of the fixed frame 12 extends laterally to form a lifting frame 13, which is used to place the wheel to be removed and installed. A pair of first mounting frames 14 are mounted on each side of the top of the lifting frame 13. A horizontal roller 15 is rotatably mounted between the two first mounting frames 14 (the first mounting frames 14 raise the front of the tire so that it can lean back to prevent it from falling). The axis of the horizontal roller extends along the front-to-back direction of the cart, facilitating the forward and backward rolling adjustment of the wheel on the lifting frame. A second mounting frame 16 is mounted on the fixed frame 12, and a vertical roller 17 is mounted on the second mounting frame 16. The axis of the vertical roller is in the vertical direction and is used to provide rolling support on the side of the wheel to facilitate left and right rotation adjustment of the wheel. Through the cooperation of the horizontal and vertical rollers, the wheel can roll flexibly on the lifting assembly, conveniently aligning it with the wheel hub bolt holes for installation without the laborious lifting and adjusting of the angle.

[0031] like Figure 6 As shown, the output assembly includes a bidirectional self-locking winch 9 and a crank 10. The connecting frame 91 of the bidirectional self-locking winch 9 is installed on the top of the slide frame 6, and is provided with a transmission gear set 92, a gear winch 93 and a self-locking assembly 94. The transmission gear set 92 includes a transmission pinion 921, a synchronization pinion 922, a synchronization gear 923, a first connecting rod 924 and a second connecting rod 925. The synchronization pinion 922 and the synchronization gear 923 are coaxially fixed, installed on the connecting frame 91 and can rotate around the first connecting rod 924. The transmission pinion 921 is installed on the second connecting rod 925 and meshes with the synchronization gear 923. The gear winch 93 is installed on the connecting frame 91 and meshes with the synchronization pinion 922. The wire rope 11 is wound around the gear winch 93. Crank handle 10 is detachably connected to the outer end of first connecting rod 924 or second connecting rod 925. When connected to first connecting rod 924 (on the large synchronous gear side), the crank handle directly drives the synchronous gear set, resulting in a high transmission ratio suitable for rapid lifting. When connected to second connecting rod 925 (on the small transmission gear side), power is transmitted through small transmission gear 921, large synchronous gear 923, and small synchronous gear 922, resulting in a low transmission ratio suitable for slow lifting. Maintenance personnel can select the crank handle connection position according to their needs to achieve the appropriate lifting speed and labor-saving effect.

[0032] like Figure 7As shown, the self-locking assembly 94 includes a self-locking clip 941, a latch handle 942, a third connecting rod 943, and a tension spring 944. The self-locking clip 941 is hinged to the connecting frame 91 via a pin at its center. One end of the clip is connected to the third connecting rod 943, and the other end is provided with two latching flanges 946 that engage the tooth grooves of a gear in the transmission gear train to prevent rotation. The latch handle 942 is connected to the self-locking clip 941 via the third connecting rod 943 and can be actuated by the operator. The latch handle 942 is formed with an arcuate groove 945, which has a lowest point (low point) and two symmetrical high points (high points). The tension spring 944 is fixed to the connecting frame 91 at one end and connected to a sliding pin at the other end that extends into the groove 945, allowing it to slide along the groove. When the operator turns the clamping handle 942 to the middle position, the tension spring slide pin is at the low position of the groove. At this time, the spring tension is minimal, and the self-locking clamp 941 is disengaged from the gear under the action of gravity or spring force. The winch is in an unlocked state and can be freely rotated and raised. When the clamping handle is turned to either side, the slide pin rises to the high position along the groove 945. At this time, the spring is stretched, generating a large tension and pulling the self-locking clamp 941 toward the gear through the third connecting rod, so that its engaging flange 946 is stuck between the gear teeth, thereby locking the transmission gear set. The winch cannot rotate and the wheel is locked at the current height. The high positions on both sides are symmetrically arranged. Whether the clamping handle is turned to the left or right, locking can be achieved. After locking, the tension spring remains at the high position and will not slide back on its own, thereby ensuring the reliability of self-locking. When unlocking is required, just turn the clamping handle back to the middle position to return the slide pin to the low position.

[0033] To use this cart for wheel removal and installation, first lift and secure the vehicle using a lift. Remove the nuts on the wheel to be replaced, separating the wheel from the hub. Next, push the cart under the wheel and adjust its position using the lockable universal wheels 2, aligning the support frame 13 below the center of the wheel. Press the locking pedal on the universal wheels to secure the cart. Next, carefully lower the wheel to be removed onto the support frame 13, aligning its center roughly with the center of the frame. Once the wheel is on the support frame, the horizontal rollers 15 and vertical rollers 17 can be used to easily adjust the wheel to the desired position and stabilize it.

[0034] To remove a wheel, first attach the crank handle 10 to the second connecting rod 925 (low gear) and pull the latch handle 942 to unlock the winch. Turn the crank handle clockwise, which drives the synchronous gear 923 and the synchronous pinion 922 through the transmission pinion 921, thereby driving the gear winch 93 to rotate and wind up the wire rope 11. The wire rope pulls the connecting seat 8 and the lifting frame 13 upward, lifting the wheel off the ground. When the wheel is raised to a sufficient height, stop cranking the crank handle and pull the latch handle 942 to one side to lock the winch and maintain the wheel at that height. Then, push the cart off the bottom of the vehicle and transport the wheel to the designated location for lowering. To lower the wheel, unlock the winch again and switch the crank handle to the first connecting rod 924 (high gear). Turn the crank handle counterclockwise to lower the lifting frame smoothly and quickly, allowing the wheel to be placed on the ground or workbench.

[0035] When installing a wheel, the process is reversed: Place the wheel to be installed on the lifting frame 13, lock the trolley in place, crank the handle to raise the wheel to a height roughly aligned with the vehicle's hub bolts, then install the crank handle 10 on the second connecting rod 925 (low gear), precisely adjust the position, and lock it. Then, push the trolley to align the wheel with the hub bolts. Slowly loosen the capstan lock, and gently insert the wheel onto the bolts. Once the wheel is flush with the hub, replace it and preliminarily tighten the nuts. Finally, unlock the capstan, lower the lifting frame, and remove the trolley, completing the wheel installation. Throughout this process, maintenance personnel do not need to directly lift the wheel, significantly reducing labor intensity.

[0036] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features therein. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
