Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automobile tire storage, and in particular to a tire storage rack. Background Technology

[0002] Tire storage racks are racks or devices specifically designed for storing tires. Their structure and function are designed to provide a safe, orderly, space-saving, and easy-to-manage way to store tires. They are usually made of metal or sturdy synthetic materials and have a certain load-bearing capacity and stability.

[0003] Traditional tire storage racks typically employ a compact arrangement to maximize space utilization and store a larger number of tires. However, this design overlooks the crucial need for visibility. When tires are tightly packed on the rack, each tire inevitably comes into contact with its neighboring tires. In this situation, tires can be obstructed by adjacent tires, making it difficult for the rack to provide a comprehensive and multi-angle display of the tires to the viewer. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problem in existing storage racks where tires are often obstructed by adjacent tires, making it difficult for the rack to display the tires to the viewer from multiple angles. This invention provides a tire storage rack that allows tires to be removed from the rack and rotated, thereby increasing the viewing angle and providing a more comprehensive, multi-angle display of the tires.

[0005] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this utility model discloses a tire storage rack, comprising: a storage rack including a storage space; a display rack slidably connected to the storage rack along a first direction; the display rack including a storage station and a display station; a connecting assembly connected to the display rack; the connecting assembly is used to clamp a tire and is capable of rotating synchronously with the tire relative to the display rack; at the storage station, the display rack is located within the storage space; at the display station, the display rack is located outside the storage space.

[0006] Using the above technical solution, the storage space of the storage rack provides a basic storage location for tires, while the display rack is slidably connected to the storage rack along the first direction, allowing the display rack to flexibly switch between storage and display positions. When in the storage position, the display rack can be stored within the storage space, effectively saving space and storing a larger number of tires in a limited space. When tires need to be displayed, viewers or operators can pull the display rack, allowing it to slide smoothly to a display position outside the storage space, quickly converting the tires from storage to display.

[0007] In the display state, the display rack is located outside the storage space, ensuring that the viewer's line of sight to examine this tire is not obstructed by other tires. Furthermore, the connecting component clamps the tire, allowing the viewer or operator to directly rotate the tire or the connecting component, causing the tire to rotate relative to the display rack. This increases the viewing angle, providing a more comprehensive and multi-angle display of the tire, allowing the viewer to observe tire details from all angles, including the tire tread pattern and sidewall markings.

[0008] According to another specific embodiment of the present invention, the display rack includes: a sliding plate extending along the first direction; rollers connected to the sliding plate, the rollers being used to drive the sliding plate to slide relative to the storage rack along the first direction; and a support column extending along the height direction; the lower end of the support column is connected to the sliding plate, and the upper end is rotatably connected to the connecting assembly.

[0009] Using the above technical solution, the connecting components and the tire held by the connecting components are supported at a set height by the support columns, making it easy for viewers to view the tire. The rollers connecting the skateboard can drive the skateboard to slide relative to the storage rack in a first direction, allowing the display rack to enter the storage or display position.

[0010] According to another specific embodiment of the present invention, the support column is rotatably connected to the slide plate in a manner that surrounds the height direction.

[0011] Using the above technical solution, the support column is rotatably connected to the slide plate in a manner that surrounds the height direction. That is, the tire can rotate around the support column as an axis. For example, the center hole of the tire, which is perpendicular to the storage space described later, becomes an opening facing the storage space after the support column is rotated, thereby increasing the viewing angle of the tire for the viewer.

[0012] According to another specific embodiment of the present invention, the connecting assembly includes: a rotating rod extending in a direction perpendicular to the height direction; and the rotating rod being rotatably connected to the support column around its central axis; a fixed plate fixedly connected to the rotating rod; the fixed plate having multiple limiting through grooves spaced apart circumferentially around the fixed plate, each limiting through groove extending radially around the fixed plate; a connecting plate having multiple arc-shaped through grooves spaced apart around the center of the connecting plate; the connecting plate being rotatably connected to the fixed plate around its central axis; and multiple abutting components corresponding one-to-one with the multiple arc-shaped through grooves and the multiple limiting through grooves; each abutting component including a connecting rod and abutting plate, one end of the connecting rod being connected to the abutting plate, the abutting plate being used to abut against the inner wall of the tire, and the other end of the connecting rod passing through the corresponding limiting through groove and the arc-shaped through groove, and the other end of the connecting rod being slidably connected to the corresponding arc-shaped through groove.

[0013] Using the above technical solution, for example, the operator can rotate the connecting plate clockwise, and the connecting rod moves along the corresponding limiting groove toward the center of the fixed plate. That is, multiple abutments approach the center of the fixed plate and move closer to each other. At this time, the tire can be placed on the periphery of the fixed plate, and then the operator can hold the fixed plate while rotating the connecting plate counterclockwise. The connecting rod moves along the corresponding limiting groove toward the center away from the fixed plate. That is, multiple abutments move away from each other until the abutments can abut against the inner wall of the tire, so as to achieve the effect of radially pressing outward to fix the tire.

[0014] According to another specific embodiment of the present invention, the display rack further includes a fixing sleeve, which is fixed to the upper end of the support column, and the rotating rod is rotatably connected to the fixing sleeve around its central axis.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, a fixing sleeve is fixedly connected to the upper end of the support column, and the fixing sleeve is rotatably connected to the rotating rod, so that the connecting component connected to the rotating rod can rotate relative to the support column. That is, the tire held by the connecting component rotates relative to the support column, making it easier for the viewer to view the tire.

[0016] According to another specific embodiment of the present invention, the connecting rod includes: a first rod portion extending radially along the fixed disk and connected to the abutment; a second rod portion extending axially parallel to the fixed disk, one end of the second rod portion being perpendicularly connected to the first rod portion, and the other end passing through the limiting through groove and the arc-shaped through groove, and being slidably connected to the arc-shaped through groove.

[0017] Using the above technical solution, the connecting plate is rotated relative to the fixed plate. The second rod, which passes through the arc-shaped groove, moves along the arc-shaped path of the groove. At the same time, the part of the second rod in the limiting groove also moves radially outward from the fixed plate. The first rod also moves radially outward. As a result, the area of ​​the circular region formed by the multiple abutment plates corresponding to the multiple abutment components gradually increases until each abutment plate abuts against the inner wall of the tire, thereby clamping the tire. This allows for clamping and fixing tires of different sizes.

[0018] According to another specific embodiment of the present invention, a first locking component is further included. The first locking component includes: a fixing member, which is fixedly connected to the connecting plate; and a locking member, which is connected to the fixing member and is used to abut against the rotating rod to restrict the rotation of the connecting plate relative to the fixing plate.

[0019] Using the above technical solution, for example, the operator can rotate the connecting plate clockwise, and the connecting rod moves along the corresponding limiting groove towards the center of the fixed plate. That is, multiple abutments approach the center of the fixed plate and move closer to each other. At this time, the tire can be placed on the periphery of the fixed plate, and then the operator holds the fixed plate while rotating the connecting plate counterclockwise. The connecting rod moves along the corresponding limiting groove away from the center of the fixed plate. That is, multiple abutments move away from each other until the abutments can abut against the inner wall of the tire, so as to achieve the effect of radially pressing outward to fix the tire. At this time, stop rotating the connecting plate, and then operate the locking device on the fixing component so that one end abuts against the rotating rod, that is, fix the connecting plate and the rotating rod. Since the fixed plate and the rotating rod are fixedly connected, the connecting plate and the fixed plate are relatively fixed. The connecting plate can no longer rotate relative to the fixed plate, thus locking the connecting plate, that is, fixing the tire and the adjusting component relatively. This allows the tire to be rotated relative to the support column by directly rotating the tire or rotating the connecting component at the display station, so that viewers can check the tire.

[0020] According to another specific embodiment of the present invention, one end of the storage space in a first direction is provided with an opening, the opening allowing the display rack to slide into or out of the storage space along the first direction; the other end of the storage space in the first direction is provided with a second locking component, at the storage position of the display rack, the second locking component restricts the display rack from sliding relative to the storage rack along the first direction.

[0021] According to another specific embodiment of the present invention, the second locking component includes: a connecting plate slidably connected to the storage rack along the height direction; a plug rod fixed below the connecting plate and extending along the height direction; a slot provided at one end of the sliding plate in a first direction; at the storage position of the display rack, the plug rod is inserted into the slot to restrict the display rack from sliding relative to the storage rack along the first direction.

[0022] Using the above technical solution, when the tires mounted on the display rack need to be stored, the display rack can be pushed into the storage space. Once the display rack is in the storage position, the slot on the sliding plate aligns vertically with the insertion rod of the connecting plate. At this point, the operator can move the connecting plate down, allowing the insertion rod to insert into the slot, thus preventing the sliding plate from moving out of the storage space. Conversely, when the tires need to be displayed or the display rack needs to be removed from the storage space, the operator can move the connecting plate up. The sliding between the connecting plate and the connecting slot is damped, ensuring that the connecting plate remains in its final position relative to the storage rack before the external force is removed, without shifting downwards due to gravity. The insertion rod moves up with the connecting plate to be pulled out of the slot, and then the sliding plate of the display rack can be pulled out manually or with other tools, allowing it to slide to the display position for displaying the tires.

[0023] According to another specific embodiment of the present invention, the storage rack includes: a base plate for placing on the ground; a groove provided on the upper surface of the base plate, wherein a sliding plate is slidably connected to the groove; a first connecting frame located at one end of the base plate in a first direction and perpendicularly connected to the base plate; an opening provided in the first connecting frame; a second connecting frame located at the other end of the base plate in the first direction and perpendicularly connected to the base plate; and a connecting plate slidably connected to the second connecting frame along the height direction; wherein the base plate, the first connecting frame, and the second connecting frame define the storage space.

[0024] According to another specific embodiment of the present invention, the tire storage rack includes a plurality of display racks and a corresponding connecting component, wherein the plurality of display racks are spaced apart along a second direction, the second direction being perpendicular to the first direction.

[0025] Using the above technical solution, multiple display racks are used to store multiple tires, allowing for the storage of a greater number of tires within a limited space. Attached Figure Description

[0038] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0039] refer to Figure 1This application provides a tire storage rack 100, including a storage rack 200, a display rack 300, and a connecting assembly 400. The storage rack 200 includes a storage space 201 for storing tires 10.

[0040] For example, the storage shelf 200 includes a base plate 210, a first connecting shelf 220, and a second connecting shelf 230. The base plate 210 is placed on the ground. The first connecting shelf 220 is located at one end of the base plate 210 in a first direction X and is perpendicularly connected to the base plate 210. The second connecting shelf 230 is located at the other end of the base plate 210 in the first direction X and is perpendicularly connected to the base plate 210; the base plate 210, the first connecting shelf 220, and the second connecting shelf 230 define a storage space 201.

[0041] like Figure 1 As shown, the base plate 210 is rectangular, with its width direction being the first direction X as described herein and its length direction being the second direction Y as described later. The first connecting frame 220 and the second connecting frame 230 are both rectangular frames and are located at both ends of the base plate 210 in the first direction X, thereby enclosing and forming a U-shaped storage space 201.

[0042] It is understood that this application does not limit the specific shape of the base plate 210, the first connecting frame 220 and the second connecting frame 230. The base plate 210, the first connecting frame 220 and the second connecting frame 230 can also be other shapes, such as polygons, ellipses, etc.

[0043] For example, such as Figure 1 As shown, the tire 10 enters and is stored in the storage space 201 at an angle perpendicular to the first connecting frame 220, thereby enabling the storage space 201 to store as many tires 10 as possible and improve space utilization.

[0044] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The aforementioned display rack 300 is slidably connected to the storage rack 200 along the first direction X; the display rack 300 includes a storage station ( Figure 1 (as shown) and display station ( Figure 2 (As shown); at the storage station, the display rack 300 is located inside the storage space 201; at the display station, the display rack 300 is located outside the storage space 201. For example, as... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the display station and the storage station are two opposite positions in the first direction X.

[0045] In this embodiment, the rectangular frame of the first connecting frame 220 forms an opening 221 that connects to the storage space 201. The opening 221 allows the display rack 300 to slide into or out of the storage space 201 along the first direction X.

[0046] That is, when it is necessary to display the tire 10, the display rack 300 of the tire 10 can be slid out from the storage space 201 and placed in the display position. At this time, the tire 10 is outside the storage space 201, making it easy for viewers to view the tire 10. After viewing, the display rack 300 can be pushed into the storage space 201, so that the tire 10 is inside the storage space 201 and the display rack 300 is in the storage position.

[0047] For example, such as Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment includes nine display racks 300, which are spaced apart along a second direction Y, perpendicular to the first direction X. However, those skilled in the art will understand that this application does not limit the specific number of display racks 300. In other embodiments, the number of display racks 300 can be adjusted according to the capacity of the storage space 201, for example, to three, five, seven, ten, etc.

[0048] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the connecting component 400 is connected to the display rack 300; the connecting component 400 is used to hold the tire 10 and can rotate synchronously with the tire 10 relative to the display rack 300. For example, the display rack 300 slides out of the storage space 201 and into the display station, allowing the operator to directly rotate the tire 10 relative to the display rack 300, thus facilitating a comprehensive view of the tire 10's details, including its tread pattern and sidewall markings, providing viewers with more complete product information.

[0049] Understandably, whether in the storage station or the display station of the display rack 300, the connecting component 400 clamps the tire 10 and can rotate synchronously with the tire 10 relative to the display rack 300. The difference is that, compared to the storage station, the tire 10 in the display station is not obstructed by other tires 10, making it easier for viewers to view.

[0050] Using the above technical solution, the storage space 201 of the storage rack 200 provides a basic storage location for the tires 10, while the display rack 300 is slidably connected to the storage rack 200 along the first direction X, allowing the display rack 300 to flexibly switch between storage and display positions. When in the storage position, the display rack 300 can be stored inside the storage space 201, effectively saving space and storing a larger number of tires 10 within a limited space. When it is necessary to display the tires 10, the viewer or operator can pull the display rack 300, allowing it to slide smoothly to the display position outside the storage space 201, quickly converting the tires 10 from the storage state to the display state.

[0051] In the display state, the tire 10 rotates relative to the display stand 300 degrees. At this time, the viewer's line of sight when examining the tire 10 will not be blocked by other tires 10, increasing the viewing angle of the tire 10 and thus providing a more comprehensive and multi-angle display of the tire 10. The viewer can observe the details of the tire 10 from all angles, including the tire tread and sidewall markings.

[0052] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some possible implementations, the display rack 300 includes a slide plate 310, casters 320, and support columns 330. The slide plate 310 extends along a first direction X.

[0053] For example, such as Figure 2 As shown, the base plate 210 of the storage shelf 200 is provided with a groove 211 extending along the first direction X, and the slide plate 310 is slidably connected to the groove 211. Exemplarily, the slide plate 310 is rectangular, and its length direction corresponds to the first direction X described herein. It is understood that the slide plate 310 can also be other shapes, such as elliptical.

[0054] In this embodiment, the length of the skateboard 310 is approximately equal to the width of the base plate 210 of the storage rack 200 (that is, the length of the base plate 210 in the first direction X), thereby preventing the skateboard 310 from extending too far out of the storage space 201 and increasing the footprint, and also preventing the skateboard 310 from being too short, which would cause the tire 10 to not be able to be completely moved out of the storage space 201.

[0055] like Figure 2 As shown, the roller 320 is connected to the slide plate 310, and the roller 320 is used to drive the slide plate 310 to slide relative to the storage rack 200 along the first direction X. Exemplarily, the roller 320 is a caster wheel. This application embodiment does not limit the specific type of the roller 320; for example, it can also be a directional wheel.

[0056] like Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the skateboard 310 includes a first end 311 and a second end 312 in the first direction X. In the storage station, the first end 311 is on the same side as the first connecting frame 220 of the storage rack 200, and the second end 312 is on the same side as the second connecting frame 230 of the storage rack 200. Whether in the display station or the storage station, the first end 311 of the skateboard 310 is located outside the storage space 201. A roller 320 is disposed at the first end 311 of the skateboard 310, directly contacting the ground, thereby providing support for the skateboard 310. Furthermore, the roller 320 is positioned opposite to the end of the base plate 210, so that when the skateboard 310 is fully inserted into the storage space 201, the roller 320 can abut against the end of the base plate 210, thus restricting the sliding of the skateboard 310.

[0057] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 As shown, the roller 320 drives the slide plate 310 to slide out of the storage space 201 along the first direction X and a set distance, so that the display rack 300 enters the display station. At the display station, the roller 320 located at the first end 311 of the slide plate 310 is spaced a set distance from the first connecting frame 220, while the second end 312 of the slide plate 310 is still slidably connected to the slide groove 211 of the base plate 210, thereby forming the base plate 210 of the storage rack 200 and the roller 320 together supporting the slide plate 310, the support column 330, the connecting component 400 and the tire 10 located on the slide plate 310.

[0058] Those skilled in the art will understand that in other embodiments, rollers 320 may also be provided at both the first end 311 and the second end 312 of the skateboard 310, so that the rollers 320 can drive the skateboard 310 to slide relative to the base plate 210.

[0059] A second locking component 500 is provided at the other end of the storage space 201 in the first direction X (that is, at the end where the second connecting frame 230 is located). At the storage station of the display rack 300, the second locking component 500 restricts the display rack 300 from sliding relative to the storage rack 200 in the first direction X.

[0060] Specifically, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The second locking assembly 500 includes a connecting plate 510 and a insert 520. The connecting plate 510 is slidably connected to the second connecting bracket 230 of the storage shelf 200 in a height direction Z. For example, as... Figure 3 As shown, both ends of the second connecting frame 230 in the second direction Y are provided with connecting grooves 231 extending along the height direction Z. The two ends of the connecting plate 510 in the second direction Y are respectively slidably connected to the corresponding connecting grooves 231, and the sliding between the connecting plate 510 and the connecting grooves 231 is damped. That is, after the external force is removed, the connecting plate 510 slides relative to the second connecting frame 230 to the position before the external force was removed and remains in that position, without moving down due to gravity.

[0061] For example, a handle 511 is provided on the connecting plate 510 so that the operator can pull the connecting plate 510 by the handle 511 to move it relative to the second connecting frame 230 in the height direction Z.

[0062] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, a plug rod 520 is fixed below the connecting plate 510, and the plug rod 520 extends downward along the height direction Z.

[0063] The second end 312 of the slide plate 310 is provided with a slot 313. At the storage station of the display rack 300, the insert rod 520 is inserted into the slot 313 to restrict the display rack 300 from sliding relative to the storage rack 200 in the first direction X.

[0064] It is understood that, corresponding to the nine display racks 300 provided in this application, nine insert rods 520 are also provided at intervals along the second direction Y below the connecting plate 510, so as to correspond one-to-one with the slide plates 310 corresponding to the nine display racks 300.

[0065] For example, when storage is required, the tire 10, which is mounted on the display rack 300 via the connecting component 400, can push the display rack 300 into the storage space 201. The slide plate 310 moves relative to the bottom plate 210 of the storage rack 200 along the first direction X and toward the storage space 201 until the roller 320 abuts against the end of the bottom plate 210 and can no longer move into the storage space 201. At this time, the slot 313 on the slide plate 310 and the insertion rod 520 on the connecting plate 510 are vertically aligned. At this time, the operator can hold the handle 511 and move the connecting plate 510 down so that the insertion rod 520 is inserted into the slot 313, thus restricting the slide plate 310 from moving out of the storage space 201. Correspondingly, when it is necessary to display the tire 10 or to remove the display rack 300 from the storage space 201, the operator can lift the connecting plate 510 by holding the handle 511. The sliding between the connecting plate 510 and the connecting groove 231 is damped, and in the absence of external force, the connecting plate 510 remains in its final position relative to the second connecting frame 230 before the external force is removed, without falling down due to gravity. The insert 520 moves upward with the connecting plate 510 to pull it out of the slot 313, and then the slide plate 310 of the display rack 300 can be pulled out manually or with other tools to slide it to the display station for displaying the tire 10 on the display rack 300.

[0066] like Figure 2 As shown, a support column 330 is provided on the skateboard 310, and the support column 330 extends along the height direction Z; the lower end of the support column 330 is connected to the skateboard 310, and the upper end is rotatably connected to the connecting assembly 400. That is, the support column 330 supports the connecting assembly 400 and the tire 10 held by the connecting assembly 400 to a set height, so that the viewer can easily view the tire 10.

[0067] Furthermore, the support column 330 is rotatably connected to the slide plate 310 in a manner circumferentially oriented in the height direction Z. For example, the support column 330 can rotate 360°, causing the connecting assembly 400 located thereon and the tire 10 held by the connecting assembly 400 to rotate synchronously, thereby enabling the tire 10 to rotate and increasing the viewing angle for the viewer. Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the tire 10 on the support column 330 is made of Figure 2 The perpendicularity shown to the first connecting frame 220 becomes Figure 4 The tire tread of the tire 10 is shown parallel to the first connecting frame 220, that is, rotated 90°, which makes it easier for viewers standing on both sides of the second direction Y of the skateboard 310 to view the tire tread.

[0068] Those skilled in the art will understand that in other embodiments, the support column 330 may also be fixedly connected to the slide plate 310.

[0069] refer to Figures 4 to 6 In some possible implementations, the connecting assembly 400 includes a rotating rod 410, a fixed plate 420, a connecting plate 430, and a plurality of abutment components 440. The rotating rod 410 extends in a direction perpendicular to the height direction Z. That is, when the support column 330 is in... Figure 2 In the indicated state, tire 10 is perpendicular to the first connecting frame 220, and its rotating rod 410 extends along the second direction Y. When the support column 330 is in... Figure 4 In the shown state, the tire 10 is parallel to the first connecting frame 220, and its rotating rod 410 extends along the first direction X. In addition, as the support column 330 rotates relative to the slide plate 310, the extension direction of the rotating rod 410 will also change. However, it can be understood that no matter how the support column 330 rotates, the extension direction of the rotating rod 410 is always the axial direction U of the tire 10.

[0070] For example, by Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, a fixing sleeve 340 is fixed to the upper end of the support column 330, and the rotating rod 410 is rotatably connected to the fixing sleeve 340 around its central axis. That is, the rotating rod 410 is rotatably connected to the support column 330 around its central axis.

[0071] refer to Figure 6 The aforementioned fixed disk 420 is fixedly connected to the rotating rod 410. The fixed disk 420 is provided with three limiting through slots 421, which are spaced N apart along the circumference of the fixed disk 420. Each limiting through slot 421 extends radially R along the fixed disk 420. Each limiting through slot 421 penetrates the fixed disk 420 in a direction parallel to the axial direction U of the fixed disk 420. This application embodiment does not impose a specific limitation on the number of limiting through slots 421; for example, two, four, five, six, or seven limiting through slots 421 can be provided.

[0072] For example, the connecting plate 430 is provided with a central circular hole 431, through which the rotating rod 410 passes, so that the end of the rotating rod 410 is fixedly connected to the fixed plate 420.

[0073] Correspondingly, the connecting plate 430 is provided with three arc-shaped through slots 432, which are spaced apart around the center of the connecting plate 430; the connecting plate 430 is rotatably connected to the fixed plate 420 around its central axis. The three arc-shaped through slots 432 correspond one-to-one with the limiting through slots 421 of the fixed plate 420, and each arc-shaped through slot 432 overlaps with its corresponding limiting through slot 421. Similarly, this embodiment does not impose a specific limit on the number of arc-shaped through slots 432, as long as they correspond to the number of limiting through slots 421.

[0074] For example, the rotating rod 410 passes through the central circular hole 431 on the connecting plate 430, and its end is fixedly connected to the fixed plate 420. At the same time, the connecting plate 430 is sleeved on the rotating rod 410 and can rotate relative to the rotating rod 410, thereby realizing the rotational connection between the connecting plate 430 and the fixed plate 420.

[0075] Correspondingly, there are three abutment components 440, which correspond one-to-one with the three arc-shaped through grooves 432 and the three limiting through grooves 421.

[0076] Specifically, each abutment component 440 includes a connecting rod 441 and an abutment plate 442. The connecting rod 441 includes a first rod portion 441a and a second rod portion 441b. The first rod portion 441a extends radially R along the fixed disk 420 and is connected to the abutment plate 442, which abuts against the inner wall of the tire 10. The second rod portion 441b extends axially U parallel to the fixed disk 420. One end of the second rod portion 441b is perpendicularly connected to the first rod portion 441a, and the other end passes through the limiting through groove 421 and the arc-shaped through groove 432, and is slidably connected to the arc-shaped through groove 432. That is, the connecting rod 441 is L-shaped. However, those skilled in the art will understand that in other embodiments, the connecting rod 441 may also be of other shapes, such as a C-shape at the connection between the first rod portion 441a and the second rod portion 441b.

[0077] For example, the second rod portion 441b and the arc-shaped through groove 432 are slidably connected by a slider (not shown in the figure) located within the arc-shaped through groove 432. However, those skilled in the art will understand that the sliding connection method between the second rod portion 441b and the arc-shaped through groove 432 is not limited in this embodiment of the application. For example, the sliding connection can also be achieved by a concave-convex fit or other methods.

[0078] For example, the abutment 442 is in the shape of an arc plate, which can better fit the inner wall of the tire 10 and achieve a better clamping effect.

[0079] For example, when the connecting plate 430 is rotated relative to the fixed plate 420, the second rod portion 441b, which passes through the arc-shaped through groove 432, moves along the arc-shaped path of the arc-shaped through groove 432. At the same time, the part of the second rod portion 441b in the limiting through groove 421 also moves synchronously along the radial direction R of the fixed plate 420 and toward the outside of the fixed plate 420. Then the first rod portion 441a also moves outward along the radial direction R. As a result, the area of ​​the circular region enclosed by the three abutment plates 442 corresponding to the three abutment components 440 gradually increases until each abutment plate 442 abuts against the inner wall of the tire 10, thereby achieving the clamping of the tire 10.

[0080] It is understood that, corresponding to the nine display racks 300 provided in this application, there are also nine of the above-mentioned connecting components 400, which have the same structure and will not be described in detail here.

[0081] refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 ,in, Figure 7 A schematic diagram showing the connection between the first locking assembly 600 and the connecting plate 430 is provided. It should be noted that, for simplicity and ease of viewing, [the diagram is omitted]. Figure 7 The connecting disk 430 in the figure does not show the arc-shaped through groove 432, but this should not be interpreted as the connecting disk 430 in this embodiment not having the arc-shaped through groove 432.

[0082] Specifically, it also includes a first locking assembly 600, which includes a fixing member 610 and a locking member 620. The fixing member 610 is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 430. Exemplarily, the fixing member 610 is in the shape of an arc-shaped plate and is fixed to the surface of the connecting plate 430 facing the rotating rod 410. It is understood that the shape of the fixing member 610 is not specifically limited in this embodiment; the fixing member 610 can also be, for example, a flat plate, a rod, etc.

[0083] The locking member 620 is connected to the fixing member 610 and is used to abut against the rotating rod 410 to restrict the rotation of the connecting plate 430 relative to the fixing plate 420. Exemplarily, the fixing member 610 has a screw hole. In this embodiment, the locking member 620 is a bolt. Rotating the bolt allows it to pass through the screw hole and continue downwards, abutting against the rotating rod 410 to fix the rotating rod 410 to the connecting plate 430. The rotating rod 410 is fixedly connected to the fixing plate 420, thereby preventing the connecting plate 430 from rotating relative to the fixing plate 420.

[0084] Therefore, when the connecting plate 430 is rotated relative to the fixed plate 420, so that each abutment 442 abuts against the inner wall of the tire 10, thus clamping the tire 10, the connecting plate 430 does not need to continue rotating. At this time, the rotation of the connecting plate 430 needs to be stopped, and then the locking member 620 on the fixing member 610 is rotated so that one end abuts against the rotating rod 410. Then the connecting plate 430 and the rotating rod 410 are fixed relative to each other. Since the fixed plate 420 and the rotating rod 410 are fixedly connected, the connecting plate 430 cannot continue to rotate relative to the fixed plate 420 at this time, thus locking the connecting plate 430. This operation is used to fix various types of tires 10. Thus, when the tire 10 or the connecting component 400 is rotated, the tire 10 and the connecting component 400 can rotate together relative to the display rack 300 for the viewer to view.

[0085] Specifically, the operator can rotate the connecting plate 430 relative to the fixed plate 420. This rotation allows the connecting rod 441 to slide along the arc-shaped through groove 432. However, since the connecting rod 441 also passes through the limiting through groove 421 of the fixed plate 420, and the limiting through groove 421 extends radially R, the connecting rod 441 is restricted by the limiting through groove 421 during the rotation of the connecting plate 430. Consequently, the slider on the connecting rod 441 slides along the direction of the arc-shaped through groove 432, while the first rod portion 441a of the connecting rod only moves along the limiting through groove 421. With multiple connecting rods 441 moving along their respective limiting through grooves 421, multiple abutments 442 connected to the connecting rods 441 can be formed, moving closer or further apart from the center (radial R) of the fixed plate 420. This allows for the fixing of tires 10 of different sizes.

[0086] For example, the operator can rotate the connecting plate 430 clockwise, and the connecting rod 441 moves along the corresponding limiting groove 421 closer to the center of the fixed plate 420, that is, the multiple abutments 442 move closer to each other; at this time, the tire 10 can be placed on the periphery of the fixed plate 420, and then the operator can hold the fixed plate 420 while rotating the connecting plate 430 counterclockwise, and the connecting rod 441 moves along the corresponding limiting groove 421 away from the center of the fixed plate 420, that is, the multiple abutments 442 move away from each other until the abutments 442 can abut against the inner wall of the tire 10, so as to achieve the effect of pressing outward along the radial direction R to fix the tire 10. At this point, stop rotating the connecting plate 430, and then rotate the locking member 620 on the fixing member 610 so that one end of it abuts against the rotating rod 410, thereby fixing the connecting plate 430 and the rotating rod 410 relative to each other. Since the fixing plate 420 and the rotating rod 410 are fixedly connected, the connecting plate 430 cannot continue to rotate relative to the fixing plate 420, thus locking the connecting plate 430. This operation is used to fix various types of tires 10. That is, the tire 10 is fixedly connected to the connecting assembly 400, so that at the display station, the tire 10 can be rotated relative to the support column 330 by directly rotating the tire 10 or by rotating the connecting assembly 400, so that viewers can view the tire 10.

[0087] Therefore, when a tire 10 needs to be displayed, firstly, the connecting plate 510 is slid upward to disengage the insert 520 on the connecting plate 510 from the slot 313 on the slide plate 310. Since the sliding between the connecting plate 510 and the connecting groove 231 is damped, the connecting plate 510 will be fixed in the last position of pushing it to slide. Then, slide the skateboard 310. The sliding of the skateboard 310 will move the support column 330 and the tire 10 to be displayed together. When the skateboard 310 slides to the display position, it will stop sliding. The roller 320 and the storage rack 200 jointly support the skateboard 310, the tire 10 and the support column 330 on the skateboard 310. At this time, the viewer can observe the tire 10 relatively unobstructed. The tire 10 can also be rotated relative to the support column 330. The viewer will be able to view the tire 10 more comprehensively. In this way, the tire 10 to be viewed can be taken out from the storage space 201. After viewing the tire 10, the skateboard 310 needs to be slid to the storage position. Then, the second locking component 500 locks the skateboard 310 so that the tire 10 is placed in the storage space 201.
