Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of tire transportation, in particular to a tire transportation device. Background Art

[0002] Tires are circular elastic rubber products that roll on the ground and are installed on various vehicles or machines. They are usually installed on metal rims, can support the vehicle body, buffer external impacts, achieve contact with the road surface and ensure the driving performance of the vehicle. Tires are often used under complex and harsh conditions. They are subjected to various deformations, loads, forces, and high and low temperature effects when driving, so they must have high load-bearing performance, traction performance, and buffering performance. At the same time, they are also required to have high wear resistance and flex resistance, as well as low rolling resistance and heat generation.

[0003] In the tire production process, tires and rims are generally produced separately, and the tires and rims are assembled together on the subassembly line, and then the assembled tires are sent to the production line and finally installed on the vehicle body. When the assembled tires are sent to the production line, a tire transfer device is required, that is, the produced tires need to be transported to a designated location for containerization, so they need to be transferred and transported. In traditional tire transfer, the tires need to be placed one by one on the transfer pallet manually, which is not only labor-intensive, but also prone to tires falling off during the transfer of tires on the transfer pallet.

[0023] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the embodiments of the utility model clearer, the technical scheme in the embodiments of the utility model will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Generally, the components of the embodiments of the utility model described and shown in the drawings here can be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0024] Example 1

[0025] A tire transfer device comprises a conveyor belt 1 for conveying tires and a limiting mechanism arranged at the end of the conveyor belt 1; the limiting mechanism is used to limit the tire after conveyance; a transfer tray 5 for placing tires is arranged below the limiting mechanism, and a plurality of positioning seats 6 are arranged on the transfer tray 5, and a plurality of positioning rods 3 for sleeved central cavities of tires are arranged at the center of the positioning seat 6, and the centers of the plurality of positioning rods 3 are arranged coaxially with the center of the limiting mechanism.

[0026] Working principle: When the utility model is in use, the tire is conveyed by the conveyor belt 1. Since a limiting mechanism for positioning the tire is provided at the end of the conveyor belt 1, and the limiting mechanism is connected to the end of the conveyor belt 1, when the tire reaches the end of the conveyor belt 1, the tire can enter the limiting plate 2, so that the tire position is corrected, that is, the central cavity of the tire is kept upward and falls downward naturally, so that the tire falls on the positioning seat 6 of the transfer tray 5 below, and the positioning rod 3 is penetrated in the central cavity of the tire, that is, the tire is limited at the positioning rod 3, so that multiple tires can be stacked on the positioning seat 6 in sequence, and the positioning rod 3 is used to appropriately limit the multiple tires, thereby ensuring the placement stability of the tire in the positioning seat 6. In addition, multiple positioning seats 6 can be provided on the transfer tray 5, and multiple self-locking universal wheels are provided at the bottom of the transfer tray 5. In this way, when one positioning seat 6 is full of tires, the transfer tray 5 can be moved, and other positioning seats 6 can be moved to the bottom of the limiting mechanism to continue to collect tires, so that the tires can be collected and transferred more efficiently, which improves work efficiency.

[0027] In this embodiment, the limiting mechanism includes at least two limiting plates 2, one limiting plate 2 is arranged on the same side of the conveyor belt 1, and the other limiting plate 2 is arranged on the opposite side of the conveyor belt 1, and a space for placing the tire is formed between the two limiting plates 2; in addition, three limiting plates 2 can be provided, that is, a limiting plate 2 is respectively arranged on both sides of the conveying direction of the conveyor belt 1, and a limiting plate 2 is arranged at the end of the conveying direction, and the three limiting plates 2 form a U-shape to form a space for placing the tire; in this way, the tire can enter the space enclosed by the limiting plate 2 from the end of the conveyor belt 1, and then naturally fall downward from the space enclosed by the limiting plate 2 into the positioning seat 6.

[0028] In the present embodiment, the limiting plate 2 is a movable plate, so that when the tire slides to the limiting plate 2, the limiting plate 2 can be pushed to better adapt to the size of the tire and adaptively clamp the tire; specifically, the limiting plate 2 includes a fixed plate 21 and a movable plate 22 movably arranged in the fixed plate 21, the movable plate 22 can move forward and backward along the fixed plate 21, a cavity for the movable plate 22 to move is provided in the fixed plate 21, a side of the movable plate 22 located in the fixed plate 21 is connected to a plurality of movable columns 24, the other end of the movable column 24 extends to the outside of the fixed plate 21, and a limiting spring 23 is sleeved on the movable column 24, one end of the limiting spring 23 is connected to the movable plate 22, and the other end is connected to the inner side of the fixed plate 21;

[0029] In this way, when the tire slides to the limiting plate 2, it uses inertia and power to touch the movable plate 22. Under the action of the limiting spring 23, the movable plate 22 can be pushed toward the fixed plate 21, thereby adapting to the limiting and positioning of different tires to ensure that the tire falls directly downward.

[0030] In this embodiment, the outer side surface of the movable plate 22 of the limiting plate 2 located on the same side of the conveyor belt 1 is an inclined surface, and the width of the movable plate 22 gradually increases from the end close to the conveyor belt 1 to the end away from the conveyor belt 1; in this way, when the tire approaches the limiting plate 2, the limiting plate 2 is in an expanded state, and the tire can enter the space between the limiting plates 2 more smoothly.

[0031] In this embodiment, at least one pair of limiting rods 4 is circumferentially arranged on the positioning seat 6, and the pair of limiting rods 4 are symmetrically arranged relative to the center of the positioning seat 6. In this way, the pair of limiting rods 4 can be used to limit the tire to maintain the stability of the tire during transportation, and will not collide with each other to cause unstable transportation.

[0032] In this embodiment, the limit rod 4 can move laterally along the surface of the positioning seat 6; specifically, a slide groove 7 is laterally opened on the surface of the positioning seat 6, and a slider that can slide in the slide groove 7 is arranged at the bottom of the limit rod 4; in this way, the position of the limit rod 4 can be adjusted according to needs to meet the limiting requirements of tires of different specifications and ensure the stability of the tire transportation process; it should also be noted that a plurality of positioning holes are arranged in the slide groove 7. When the limit rod 4 is adjusted to a suitable position, the positioning column can be inserted into the positioning hole in the slide groove 7, and the limit rod 4 can be limited and fixed by the positioning column.

[0033] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. For those skilled in the art, the present invention may be subject to various modifications and variations. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
