Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the field of intelligent transportation technology, and in particular to a wheel motion support device. Background Art

[0002] Vehicles that support both automatic driving and manual driving, as well as vehicles that only support manual driving, can be inspected (or tested) to ensure driving safety when on the road.

[0003] During the inspection process, it is usually necessary to realize the wheel's rolling and rotating functions. Common tachometers or dynamometers can support the wheel's rolling function, but cannot realize the wheel's rotating function.

[0004] Currently, there is a dynamometer-like device that can realize the wheel rotation function. However, after the vehicle is lifted by the lifting equipment, the four wheels need to be removed to expose the brake discs, etc., and a special transition disc tooling needs to be connected to the four brake discs respectively, and connected to other large-scale equipment. It takes up a large horizontal space and is cumbersome to operate. Summary of the Invention

[0006] A rotary support plate 12, wherein the rotary support plate 12 comprises an inner plate 121 and an outer plate 122; and

[0007] A thin-walled bearing 11 includes an inner wall 111 and an outer wall 112. The inner wall 111 is used to form a first fastening structure with any wheel on the vehicle to be processed after being inserted into the wheel. When the wheel rolls, it rolls relative to the fixed outer wall 112 under the drive of the wheel; the thin-walled bearing 11 is fixed to the outer disk 122 through the outer wall 112 to form a second fastening structure. When the wheel rotates, it rotates relative to the fixed inner disk 121 through the first fastening structure under the drive of the wheel.

[0008] The embodiments disclosed above have the following advantages or beneficial effects: the rolling and rotating motions of the wheels can be supported in situ, the space occupied is small, the operation can be simplified, and the convenience of use is greatly increased.

[0016] The following description of exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure is made in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, including various details of the embodiments of the present disclosure to facilitate understanding. These details should be considered as merely exemplary. Therefore, those skilled in the art will recognize that various changes and modifications may be made to the embodiments described herein without departing from the scope and spirit of the present disclosure. Similarly, for the sake of clarity and conciseness, descriptions of well-known functions and structures are omitted in the following description.

[0017] Furthermore, it should be understood that the term "and / or" as used herein simply describes a relationship between associated objects, indicating that three possible relationships exist. For example, "A and / or B" can represent: A exists alone, A and B exist simultaneously, or B exists alone. Furthermore, the character " / " as used herein generally indicates that the associated objects are in an "or" relationship.

[0018] Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of the structure of the first embodiment 100 of the wheel motion support device disclosed in the present invention. Figure 1 As shown, it includes: a thin-walled bearing 11 and a rotary support plate 12.

[0019] The rotary support disk 12 may include an inner disk 121 and an outer disk 122 , and the thin-walled bearing 11 may include an inner wall 111 and an outer wall 112 .

[0020] The inner wall 111 is used to form a first fastening structure with any wheel on the vehicle to be processed after being inserted therein. When the wheel rolls, the inner wall 111 rolls relative to the fixed outer wall 112 driven by the wheel.

[0021] In addition, the thin-walled bearing 11 can be fixed on the outer disc 122 through the outer wall 112 to form a second fastening structure. When the wheel rotates, the second fastening structure can rotate relative to the fixed inner disc 121 through the first fastening structure driven by the wheel.

[0022] It can be seen that by adopting the solution described in the above device embodiment, the rolling and rotating motions of the wheels can be supported in situ, and the space occupied is small, the operation can be simplified, and the convenience of use is greatly increased.

[0023] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the inner wall 111 of the thin-walled bearing 11 can roll relative to the outer wall 112 via a needle roller layer between the inner wall 111 and the outer wall 112. This method is simple to implement and has a good implementation effect.

[0024] Figure 2 FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of the structure of the second embodiment 200 of the wheel motion support device disclosed in the present invention. Figure 2 As shown, it includes: a thin-walled bearing 11, a rotary support plate 12 and a bracket 13.

[0025] The rotary support disk 12 may include an inner disk 121 and an outer disk 122 , and the thin-walled bearing 11 may include an inner wall 111 and an outer wall 112 .

[0026] Specifically, the thin-walled bearing 11 can be fixed on the outer disk 122 of the rotary support disk 12 through the outer wall 112 and the bracket 13 , wherein the bracket 13 can be fixed on the outer disk 122 , and the outer wall 112 can be fixed on the bracket 13 .

[0027] There is no limitation on how to fix the bracket 13 to the outer disk 122 . For example, the bracket 13 can be fixed to the outer disk 122 by welding or bolts.

[0028] Likewise, there is no limitation on how to fix the outer wall 112 to the bracket 13 . For example, the outer wall 112 can be fixed to the bracket 13 by welding or bolts.

[0029] By means of the bracket 13 , the outer wall 112 of the thin-walled bearing 11 can be firmly connected to the outer disk 122 of the slewing support disk 12 , thereby laying a good foundation for subsequent processing.

[0030] It should be noted that Figure 2 The bracket 13 shown in FIG is only a possible implementation method and is not intended to limit the technical solution of the present disclosure. For example, the specific shape of the bracket 13 can be determined according to actual needs and is not limited to Figure 2 As shown in .

[0031] Figure 3 FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of the structure of the third embodiment 300 of the wheel motion support device disclosed in the present invention. Figure 3 As shown, it includes: a thin-walled bearing 11, a rotary support plate 12 and a bracket 13.

[0032] The rotary support disk 12 may include an inner disk 121 and an outer disk 122 , and the thin-walled bearing 11 may include an inner wall 111 and an outer wall 112 .

[0033] In addition, the device may also include: M spokes 113 located on one side of the thin-walled bearing 11 and a perforated disk 114, one end of the spoke 113 may be connected to the inner wall 111 of the thin-walled bearing 11, and the other end may be connected to the perforated disk 114.

[0034] Accordingly, Figure 4 1 is a front view schematic diagram of a third embodiment 300 of the wheel motion support device disclosed in the present invention.

[0035] M is a positive integer greater than one, and its specific value may be determined according to actual needs, for example, 5, where 5 spokes 113 may converge on the perforated disk 114 .

[0036] The structure composed of the spokes 113 and the perforated disc 114 can play a role in limiting the position, that is, assisting in fixing the position of the wheel.

[0037] In the above embodiments, the inner wall 111 can be used to form a first fastening structure with any wheel on the vehicle to be processed after being inserted (buckled) into the wheel. When the wheel rolls, it can roll relative to the fixed outer wall 112 driven by the wheel.

[0038] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the inner wall 112 can be inserted into the wheel of the vehicle to be processed, which is lifted to a predetermined height by a lifting device. When the wheel rolls or rotates, the lifting device can be removed or lowered to a height where it no longer provides support for the vehicle to be processed.

[0039] By means of the above method, the wheel and the wheel motion support device can be combined simply and efficiently, and during actual inspection, the weight of the vehicle body can be made to fall on the wheel motion support device, thereby ensuring the inspection effect.

[0040] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the first fastening structure may be formed by the following method 1 or method 2.

[0041] 1) Method 1

[0042] The inner wall 111 can be fastened to the wheel by the compression force generated when the deflated wheel is inflated, thereby forming a first fastening structure.

[0043] For example, after the vehicle is turned off, the vehicle body can be lifted with the help of one or more jacks, thereby lifting the front wheels of the vehicle or the entire vehicle to a predetermined height. The wheels can then be deflated, and the thin-walled bearings 11 can be buckled onto the wheels. Furthermore, the wheels can be inflated, so that the relative positions of the two are fixed by means of the compressive force between the wheels and the inner wall 111 generated when the wheels are inflated, forming a fastening structure, namely the first fastening structure. Accordingly, the movement of the wheels will correspondingly drive the inner wall 111 to move.

[0044] 2) Method 2

[0045] The inner wall 111 can be fastened to the wheel by a fastening component pre-arranged on the inner wall 111 , thereby forming a first fastening structure.

[0046] The specific form of the fastening component is not limited, for example, it can be an inflatable component or a tensioning structural component.

[0047] If method one is adopted, there is no need to set additional fastening components on the inner wall 111, but the wheel needs to be deflated and inflated. Conversely, if method two is adopted, there is no need to deflate and inflate the wheel, but additional fastening components need to be set on the inner wall 111. However, the setting can be applied to each vehicle, that is, once the setting is completed, it can be used multiple times subsequently. That is, the two methods each have their own advantages. The specific sampling method one or method two can be determined according to actual needs, which is very flexible and convenient.

[0048] Regardless of whether method 1 or method 2 is adopted, after the first fastening structure is formed, the height of the jack can be removed or lowered so that the jack does not support the vehicle, and the weight of the vehicle body falls on the thin-walled bearing 11 and the rotary support plate 12 below.

[0049] Afterwards, the vehicle can be started and the wheels can roll, driving the inner wall 111 of the thin-walled bearing 11 to roll relative to the fixed outer wall 112 .

[0050] In addition, as mentioned above, the thin-walled bearing 11 can be fixed to the outer plate 122 of the rotary support plate 12 through the outer wall 112 and the bracket 13 to form a second fastening structure. When the wheel rotates, the second fastening structure can rotate relative to the fixed inner plate 121 through the first fastening structure and driven by the wheel.

[0051] That is, the steering wheel of the vehicle can be turned to rotate the wheel. Accordingly, the thin-walled bearing 11, the bracket 13 and the outer plate 122 of the rotary support plate 12 will rotate together with the wheel relative to the fixed inner plate 121.

[0052] Figure 5The figure shows the positional relationship between the inner disk 121 and the outer disk 122 of the rotary support disk 12 of the present disclosure. There is no limitation on how the outer disk 122 rotates relative to the inner disk 121. For example, relative rotation can be achieved by an inter-disk structure provided between the outer disk 122 and the inner disk 121.

[0053] In addition, the inner plate 121 of the rotary support plate 12 can be fixed to the ground or other objects, such as a steel plate, by bolts or the like.

[0054] In actual application, after the vehicle is parked and the engine is turned off, if two of the front wheels need to be inspected, the two wheel motion support devices described in the present disclosure can be moved to the two front wheels respectively with the help of slide rails, and the two front wheels can be deflated. Thereafter, the two thin-walled bearings 11 can be buckled on the two front wheels respectively, and then the two front wheels can be inflated, thereby forming a first fastening structure with the inner wall 111 of the thin-walled bearing 11. Furthermore, the inner plate 121 of the slewing support plate 12 can be fixed to the slide rail by bolts, and the vehicle can be started to make the wheel roll. Accordingly, the inner wall 111 will roll relative to the fixed outer wall 112 under the drive of the wheel. In addition, the wheel can be rotated so that the second fastening structure rotates relative to the fixed inner plate 121 with the help of the first fastening structure and driven by the wheel.

[0055] In actual applications, there is a special case where the gap between the wheel and the fender of some models is small, so the treatment method described in this disclosure cannot be used. For this situation, the present disclosure also provides a corresponding solution.

[0056] The wheel can be removed and the perforated disc 114 can be connected to the brake disc. After the inspection is completed, the wheel can be restored to be installed.

[0057] That is, the perforated disc 114 can be used to connect with the brake disc corresponding to the wheel when the wheel is removed. Accordingly, the inner wall 111 can form a first fastening structure with the wheel through the perforated disc 114 and the brake disc.

[0058] When the wheel is removed, the brake disc will leak out and can be connected to the perforated disc 114 by bolts, etc., so that the inner wall 111 and the wheel essentially still form a first fastening structure. The subsequent processing method is the same as that of not removing the wheel, and will not be repeated here.

[0059] Through the above processing, the problem of how to inspect the vehicle when the gap between the wheel and the wheel arch is small is solved, thereby ensuring the smooth progress of the inspection in various situations.

[0060] In summary, by adopting the solution disclosed in the present invention, the rolling and rotating motion of the wheels can be supported on the spot, and it has a good visual follow-up effect. In addition, it takes up less space and is easy to operate. The vehicle can be used as soon as it arrives, and the vehicle can leave as soon as the inspection is completed, which greatly increases the convenience of use.

[0061] The above specific embodiments do not constitute a limitation on the scope of protection of this disclosure. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that various modifications, combinations, sub-combinations, and substitutions may be made based on design requirements and other factors. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this disclosure shall be included within the scope of protection of this disclosure.
