The fixed frame 1 is provided with two transverse first guide rails 2. The mobile platform 4 is slidably mounted on the first guide rails 2 through four first sliders 3 and is connected to a driving mechanism.

[0020] The lifting assembly includes a guide frame 9, a telescope 8, a fixed plate 10, a connecting plate 11 and an L-shaped bracket 12. The guide frame 9 and the telescope 8 are fixed vertically side by side on the mobile platform 4, and the upper ends of the two are connected by the fixed plate 10; the telescopic rod of the telescope 8 passes through the fixed plate 10 and is fixedly connected to the horizontal connecting plate 11. A vertical second guide rail 13 is provided on the front side of the guide frame 9. The L-shaped bracket 12 is located in front of the guide frame 9, and the lower end of its vertical part is installed on the second guide rail 13 by a second slider 14 for sliding up and down, and the upper end of its vertical part is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 11; the tire storage rack is installed at the front end of the horizontal part of the L-shaped bracket 12.

[0021] In more detail, the retractor 8 of this embodiment is a cylinder.

[0022] In addition, a vertical first photoelectric switch 24 is installed on one side of the mobile platform 4, and a limit block 25 adapted to the first photoelectric switch 24 is respectively provided at the front and rear ends of the corresponding side of the fixed frame 1. A second photoelectric switch 26 corresponding to the lower limit of the second slider 14 is installed on the mobile platform 4.

[0023] The tire blank is placed on the tire storage rack. When the tire storage device needs to be transferred in, the driving mechanism drives the mobile platform 4 to move backward along the first guide rail 2. When the first photoelectric sensor 24 senses the limit block 25 on the rear side, the movement of the mobile platform 4 stops. At this time, the tire blank is located directly below the manipulator. Subsequently, the cylinder starts, and its telescopic rod extends, driving the L-shaped bracket 12 to rise along the second guide rail 13. After the manipulator grabs the tire, the telescopic rod of the cylinder retracts and drives the L-shaped bracket 12 to descend. When the second photoelectric sensor 26 senses the second slider 14, the movement stops. Embodiment 2
