The driving cylinder body is hinged to the frame, and the driving cylinder drives the driving arm and the driving shaft to move. The driving arm drives the rotating shaft to rotate through the connecting rod and the transmission arm. The two upper swing arms of the rotating shaft move away from each other and the two lower swing arms approach each other. The tire then falls downward between the two lower swing arms and is clamped by the two lower swing arms. The driving cylinder then drives the driving arm to rotate in the opposite direction to reset.
