[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of vehicle transport, and particularly relates to an outer tire clamping type vehicle transporter. Background Art

[0002] With the growing number of cars on the road, parking shortages and parking convenience have become increasingly prominent issues in recent years. Automated garages offer a solution to this problem. Vehicle movers, as core equipment in automated garages, are essential.

[0003] Existing tire clamping vehicle carriers all enter from the bottom of the vehicle, and carry and transport the vehicle after clamping the tire from the tire inner side. Due to its entry from the bottom of the vehicle, the vehicle ground clearance limits its scope of use. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The present invention aims to address the technical problem that existing tire-gripping vehicle transporters typically access the vehicle from below, gripping the tire from the inside before loading and transporting the vehicle. Due to their access from below, ground clearance limits their use. To address this issue, the present invention provides an outer tire-gripping vehicle transporter.

[0005] The objective of the present invention is achieved in the following manner: an outer tire clamping vehicle transporter comprises two symmetrically arranged side beams, one end of the side beam is connected to a longitudinal roller that can swing up and down, the middle of the side beam is connected to a transverse roller that can move up and down, a side beam slide groove is provided on the side of the side beam, the side beam is connected to a clamping mechanism for clamping the tire that can move along the length direction of the side beam through the side beam slide groove, the end of the side beam away from the longitudinal roller is connected to a parallelogram mechanism for adjusting the spacing between the two side beams, the end of the parallelogram mechanism away from the side beam is connected to the slide groove of the walking mechanism and the parallelogram mechanism can move up and down along the slide groove of the walking mechanism, the bottom of the walking mechanism is connected to at least one group of rollers that can walk and turn, a motor is provided inside the walking mechanism, and the output end of the motor is connected to the roller.

[0006] The clamping mechanism includes a frame, a clamping arm, a tire stopper and a connecting plate. The side beam is connected to the frame through a side beam slide groove. The frame is connected to the clamping arm that can rotate 90° through a pin shaft. The connecting plate is connected to the frame, and the tire stopper is connected to the connecting plate.

[0007] A hydraulic cylinder is arranged inside the traveling mechanism, and one end of the parallelogram mechanism close to the traveling mechanism slideway is connected to the output end of the hydraulic cylinder.

[0008] A hydraulic cylinder or an electric cylinder is arranged inside the parallelogram mechanism.

[0009] A hydraulic cylinder or an electric cylinder is provided on the side beam to enable the transverse roller to move up and down.

[0010] An electric wire rope drum or a motor is provided on the longitudinal moving roller and the clamping mechanism.

[0011] Compared with the existing technology, the outer tire clamping vehicle transporter clamps the tires from the outside of the vehicle and transports the vehicle without being restricted by the vehicle's ground clearance. The transporter can adjust the side beam width according to the vehicle width. The transporter has a larger running wheel diameter and has lower requirements for ground flatness.

[0021] The clamping mechanism 3 includes a frame 8, a clamping arm 9, a tire stopper 10 and a connecting plate 11. The side beam 2 is connected to the frame 8 through a side beam slide groove. The frame 8 is connected to the clamping arm 9 that can rotate 90° through a pin shaft. The frame 8 is connected to the connecting plate 11, and the connecting plate 11 is connected to the tire stopper 10. The clamping arm 9 is used to clamp the vehicle tire. The tire stopper 10 is used to contact the tire when the parallelogram mechanism 5 is retracted into place to prevent other parts of the carrier from contacting the vehicle body and damaging the vehicle.

[0022] A hydraulic cylinder is provided inside the traveling mechanism 6 , and one end of the parallelogram mechanism 5 close to the sliding groove of the traveling mechanism 6 is connected to the output end of the hydraulic cylinder. The hydraulic cylinder provided inside the traveling mechanism 6 drives the parallelogram mechanism 5 to move up and down.

[0023] A hydraulic cylinder or an electric cylinder is provided inside the parallelogram mechanism 5 , and the hydraulic cylinder or the electric cylinder provided inside the parallelogram mechanism 5 drives the parallelogram mechanism 5 to extend and retract, thereby adjusting the distance between the two side beams 2 .

[0024] The side beam 2 is provided with a hydraulic cylinder or an electric cylinder for moving the transverse roller 4 up and down.

[0025] The longitudinal roller 1 and the clamping mechanism 3 are provided with an electric wire rope drum or motor, and the longitudinal roller 1 is swung up and down along the side beam 2 through the electric wire rope drum or motor, and the clamping mechanism 3 is moved along the length direction of the side beam 2 through the electric wire rope drum or motor.

[0026] The working process of the present invention is as follows: when a vehicle needs to be transported, it must first reach the transport vehicle preparation position, the motor provided inside the walking mechanism 6 drives the roller 7 to move near the vehicle, and the two side beams 2 open sides are facing the front or rear of the vehicle to be transported. After the transporter reaches the transport vehicle preparation position, it enters the Figure 4The carrier is shown in the state where the width of the left and right side beams 2 is adjusted, that is, the transverse rollers 4 move downward and contact the ground, the longitudinal rollers 1 rotate upward and leave the ground, and the spacing between the left and right side beams 2 of the carrier is adjusted according to the width of the vehicle. When the spacing is adapted to the vehicle width, the longitudinal rollers 1 rotate downward and contact the ground, the transverse rollers 4 move upward and leave the ground, and the carrier enters the state shown in Figure 3. The carrier advances toward the vehicle until the clamping mechanisms 3 are able to clamp the vehicle. The left and right side beams 2 of the carrier descend to the position shown in Figure 5. The clamping mechanisms 3 move back and forth along the left and right side beams 2 to align with the vehicle tires. The four clamping mechanisms 3 of the carrier respectively clamp the vehicle tires with their two clamping arms 9. After entering the state shown in Figure 6, the left and right side beams 2 of the carrier rise to the position shown in Figure 1, lifting the vehicle a certain distance off the ground, and then moving to the designated position driven by the traveling mechanism 6. The carrier enters the state shown in FIG6, and the two clamping arms 9 of each of the four clamping mechanisms 3 are opened, releasing the vehicle tires and placing the vehicle on the ground. After entering the state shown in FIG5, the left and right side beams 2 rise to the position shown in FIG3 and move backward away from the vehicle.
