When clamping the tire stack, the rotating mechanism 8 can adjust the angle so that the entire destacking mechanism fits the tire stack more closely, so that the tire stack does not move. A first spring 9 is fixedly connected to the middle part of the inner side of the fixed plate 5, and a movable plate 10 is fixedly connected to the inner end of the first spring 9. A second spring 11 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the movable plate 10, and a clamping plate 12 is fixedly connected to the inner end of the second spring 11. A slider 14 is fixedly connected to the inner end of the support plate 2, and a groove bracket 15 is sleeved on the outer side of the slider 14. The side of the slider 14 away from the support plate 2 is slidably connected to the inner side of the groove bracket 15, and a connecting frame 16 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the connecting frame 16, and a conveying shaft 17 is movably connected to the inner side of the connecting frame 16. A driving motor 19 is provided at one end of the connecting frame 16.

[0024] See also Figure 3The rotating mechanism 8 includes a sliding block 801, the top of the sliding block 801 is fixedly connected to a sleeve 802, the inside of the sleeve 802 is rotatably connected to a connecting rod 804, the outer side of the connecting rod 804 is rotatably connected to a shaft seat 803, and the outer side of the shaft seat 803 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the splint 12, so that the splint 12 can rotate around the connecting rod 804.

[0025] See also Figure 1-Figure 5 Four groups of second springs 11 are provided, and the outer ends of the four groups of second springs 11 are fixedly connected to the inner side of the movable plate 10. The four groups of springs can provide elastic force for the clamping plate 12.

[0028] Working principle: Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, when in use, the tire stack is placed on the conveying shaft 17, the hydraulic lift 1 is started, the support plate 2 is raised, the end of the support frame 6 is lifted to the gap between the top tire and the second tire, the telescopic cylinder 3 is started, and the telescopic rod of the telescopic cylinder 3 will push the fixed plate 5 to move toward the conveying shaft 17. Synchronously, the ends of the support frames 6 on both sides of the conveying line will be inserted into the gap between the tire stacks. The telescopic cylinder 3 continues to push the fixed plate 5. Since one end of the support frame 6 close to the conveying shaft 17 is set in an inclined plate shape, it is convenient to insert it between the two tire gaps. Therefore, the tire stack will move to the middle of the support frame 6 through the slope on the support frame 6. Synchronously, due to the obstruction of the tire stack, the sliding block 801 will move along the slide groove 7 toward the fixed plate 5. The tire moves in the direction of rotation. Since the outer side of the tire is circular, the tire and the clamping plate 12 are squeezed, which will make the clamping plate 12 follow the outer circle rotation direction of the tire. The clamping plate 12 rotates with the connecting rod 804 as the circular axis, so that the side walls of the two groups of clamping plates 12 are more closely attached to the outer surface of the tire. When the support frames 6 located on both sides of the conveying shaft 17 move toward the middle and contact the center of the conveying shaft 17, the telescopic cylinder 3 stops running, and the hydraulic lift 1 starts again to lift the tire stack on the top layer upward, and the conveying shaft 17 moves the remaining tire stacks forward, and the removed tires are placed at the rear end of the conveying shaft 17 and transmitted to the assembly area, leaving a tire on the transmission line, and the drive motor 19 is started, and the conveying shaft 17 moves backward to transport the tire stack to remove the next tire.
