[0029] See also Figures 1 to 5 , the utility model provides a technical solution:

[0031] The adjustment mechanism 2 includes a placement frame 201, a first hydraulic rod 202, an adjustment block 203, a receiving frame 204, a second hydraulic rod 205, an adjustment frame 206, a fixed frame 207, a motor 208, a rotating plate 209 and a laser sensor 210. The plurality of placement frames 201 are fixedly connected to both sides of the bottom plate 1, the plurality of first hydraulic rods 202 are respectively arranged on one side of the plurality of placement frames 201, the plurality of adjustment blocks 203 are respectively arranged on one side of the plurality of first hydraulic rods 202, and the plurality of receiving frames 204 are respectively fixedly connected to the bottom plate 1. At the top of the multiple adjustment blocks 203, the multiple second hydraulic rods 205 are respectively arranged on one side of the multiple accommodating frames 204, the multiple adjustment frames 206 are respectively arranged on the top of the multiple second hydraulic rods 205, the multiple fixed frames 207 are respectively fixedly connected to the top of the multiple adjustment frames 206, the multiple motors 208 are respectively bolted to one side of the multiple fixed frames 207, the multiple rotating plates 209 are respectively fixedly connected to the output ends of the multiple motors 208, and the multiple laser sensors 210 are respectively arranged on the top of the multiple rotating plates 209.

[0032] Specifically, such as Figure 5As shown, the display assembly 4 includes a fixing plate 401 and a liquid crystal display screen 402 . The fixing plates 401 are fixedly connected to one side of the fixing frames 207 , and the liquid crystal display screens 402 are respectively arranged on one side of the fixing plates 401 .

[0033] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, a plurality of shielding plates 6 are fixedly connected to one side of the plurality of receiving frames 204 , and the bottoms of the plurality of shielding plates 6 are tightly fitted with the top of the placement frame 201 .

[0034] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, a plurality of sliding grooves 7 are respectively opened inside the plurality of placement frames 201 , and a plurality of adjustment blocks 203 are respectively slidably connected to the interior of the plurality of sliding grooves 7 .

[0035] During use, when the car drives onto the base plate 1, the first hydraulic rod 202 is started to move the adjustment block 203 to facilitate alignment with the car's wheel hub. When the car's wheel hub is higher, the second hydraulic rod 205 can be started. Since the adjustment frame 206 is slidably connected to the accommodating frame 204, the second hydraulic rod 205 can push the adjustment frame 206 and the fixed frame 207 to rise or fall. At the same time, the motor 208 is started to drive the rotating plate 209 and the laser sensor 210 to rotate, which is convenient for detecting wheel hubs at different angles. Using the laser sensor 210 for detection can avoid damage to the car's wheel hub and improve the detection efficiency of the car's wheel hub.

Start the first hydraulic rod 202 to move the adjustment block 203 to facilitate alignment with the car's wheel hub. When the car's wheel hub is higher, the second hydraulic rod 205 can be started. Since the adjustment frame 206 is slidably connected to the accommodating frame 204, the second hydraulic rod 205 can push the adjustment frame 206 and the fixed frame 207 to rise or fall, and at the same time start the electric The machine 208 can drive the rotating plate 209 and the laser sensor 210 to rotate, which is convenient for detecting the wheel hub at different angles. Using the laser sensor 210 for detection can avoid damage to the car wheel hub and improve the detection efficiency of the car wheel hub. The results detected by the laser sensor 210 can be directly displayed on the LCD screen 402, further improving the detection efficiency. The sliding groove 7 can improve the stability of the adjustment block 203 during movement and avoid deviation. The shielding plate 6 can provide shielding for the sliding groove 7 to prevent dust from falling into the placement frame 201.
