[0045] like Figure 4 , Figure 7 As shown, an adjusting baffle 42 is installed on the wheel guide plate 4, a rectangular hole is provided on the top of the wheel guide plate 4, the adjusting baffle 42 is installed in the rectangular hole, the lower end of the rectangular hole is connected with a gear 45 mounting groove, a gear 45 is installed in the gear 45 mounting groove, a rack is provided on the side wall of the adjusting baffle 42, one end of the adjusting plate 44 extends into the gear 45 mounting groove to mesh with the gear 45, a through hole is opened on the side wall of the wheel guide plate 4, a rotating shaft is installed in the through hole, the rotating shaft passes through the through hole and is connected to the gear 45, and the other end of the rotating shaft extends to the side wall of the wheel guide plate 4 and is connected to an adjusting head 43;

[0046] When the wheel guide plate 4 is adjusted to the inclined groove 341, the inclined surface of the wheel guide plate 4 is now in contact with the end face of the wheel tire. The adjusting baffle 42 is adjusted out from the end face of the wheel guide plate 4 to press against the wheel tire by rotating the adjusting head 43 to fix the tire. The wheel is clamped by the wheel guide plate 4 and the front positioning block 32 to prevent the wheel from slipping.

[0047] The specific adjustments are as follows:

[0048] The wheel is pushed through the wheel guide groove 2 and the wheel guide plate 4 to push the wheel onto the bottom plate 30. A front positioning block 32 is provided at the front end of the bottom plate 30. The wheel is pressed against the front positioning block 32. The side positioning block 31 limits the wheel to prevent it from sliding. At this time, the wheel guide plate 4 is adjusted so that the wheel guide plate 4 fixes the wheel on the angle measuring device. The angle measuring device is raised by the oil cylinder to make it easier to rotate. By rotating the angle measuring device, the pointer 33 of the angle measuring device points to the scale on the base 1 to achieve measurement.

[0049] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
