Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of tire conveying, and in particular to a tire conveying device and method. Background Art

[0002] Tires are circular, ground-contacting, rolling, elastic rubber products used on various vehicles and machinery. Typically mounted on metal rims, they support the vehicle's body, cushion external impacts, maintain contact with the road, and ensure vehicle performance. Tires are often used in complex and demanding conditions, enduring various deformations, loads, forces, and high and low temperature conditions while driving. Therefore, they must exhibit high load-bearing, traction, and cushioning properties. They must also possess high wear and flex resistance, as well as low rolling resistance and heat buildup.

[0003] After production, automobile tires are stacked or piled together, and then placed on a conveyor for conveying processing when in use. However, during the conveying process, it is necessary to ensure that the conveying spacing is not too different. It is best to achieve constant spacing for easy subsequent processing and use. During the placement process, workers often use manual placement, which is labor-intensive. For this purpose, a tire conveying device is proposed. Summary of the Invention
