[0002] At present, some vehicle models are equipped with a spare tire on their body due to requirements. There are various installation methods for the spare tire. Among them, for some vehicle models, a cylindrical rotating shaft 200 is directly welded on the rear bumper 100 (i.e., the bumper) at the rear of the vehicle. One end of the spare tire rack 2 is welded with a sleeve 300, and then the sleeve 300 is sleeved on the cylindrical rotating shaft 200 to realize the rotation of the spare tire rack 2 (such as Figure 6 ). This method has extremely high requirements for the perpendicularity between the rotating shaft and the bumper. It is difficult to guarantee the accuracy during production and processing. Often, a large amount of manual correction and mutual matching inspection are required, which not only causes waste of resources, but also may ultimately lead to the inability to install the product or difficult installation, resulting in product scrapping. On the other hand, although the sleeve can achieve a certain angle adjustment to realize the height adjustment of the spare tire rack, since the rotating shaft is cylindrical, the sleeve is damaged by the force during adjustment, resulting in structural failure.
