The output end of the hydraulic cylinder 14 is fixedly installed on one side of the guide block 13, and a driving rod 15 is fixedly installed on one side of the guide block 13. Two clamping plates 16 are respectively fixedly installed on one side of the two driving rods 15. When the automobile tires are transported and transferred, the tires to be transferred are placed at the designated position. After a certain number of tires are stacked, the hydraulic cylinders 14 on the clamping assembly are started to run. After the hydraulic cylinders 14 on both sides run, they drive the guide blocks 13 to slide in the guide columns 12, and the driving rod 15 will drive the clamping plates 16 on both sides to approach each other. The clamping plates 16 are provided with arc grooves 17, which can adapt to the clamping of the tire body 2.

[0030] As a technical optimization solution of the present invention, refer to Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, the side clamping assembly includes a telescopic cylinder 19 fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the arc groove 17, a moving column 20 is movably mounted in the telescopic cylinder 19, one end of the moving column 20 is rotatably connected to the side clamping block 18, an extrusion spring 21 is fixedly mounted between the end of the moving column 20 and the inner wall of the telescopic cylinder 19, two angular position blocks 22 are fixedly mounted on the side of the moving column 20, and the angular position block 22 is located on the side of the side clamping block 18.
