Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of studded tires, and specifically provides a tire positioning device and a studded tire equipment including the same. Background Art

[0002] At present, to solve the problem that vehicles are prone to skidding on icy and snowy roads, anti-slip studs can be embedded on the tire surface to increase the grip.

[0003] During actual studding, a positioning device is required to clamp both axial sides of the tire. At the same time, in order to ensure that the tire pressure is suitable for studding, it is necessary to inflate its inner cavity. In this way, the positioning device needs to resist a large expansion force.

[0004] In the related art, the clamping action of the positioning device generally uses a servo brake motor connected to a speed reducer to drive the lead screw to rotate, and then drive the positioning component to move forward. In this way, a servo motor with a large power and a brake function as well as a relatively thick ball screw are required to meet the use conditions, which increases the equipment cost and appears too bulky; in addition, during the process of inflating and studding the tire, the positioning device will bear a large impact force, and there is a safety risk of bursting; moreover, the positioning device is subjected to a large force at a fixed position for a long time, and the local structure in the transmission chain of the positioning device will be severely worn, affecting the positioning accuracy, shortening the service life, and the stability of the device becomes poor.

[0044] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 2 、 Figure 6 and Figure 7 ,the two comb teeth bars 140 can be a first comb teeth bar 141 and a second comb teeth bar 142 that are parallel to each other, wherein the first comb teeth bar 141 is arranged below the second comb teeth bar 142. Specifically, the first comb teeth bar 141 is arranged at the lower edge of the first frame 110, and the second comb teeth bar 142 is arranged at the upper edge of the first frame 110; keyways are provided at both the upper edge and the lower edge of the first frame 110. A blind slot d is provided in the side positioning edge a of the first comb teeth bar 141, and the blind slot d is aligned with the keyway at the lower edge of the first frame 110 and is keyed through a square positioning key b, wherein the blind slot d serves to support the square positioning key b. Referring to Figure 7 and Figure 8 ,a through slot e is provided in the side positioning edge a of the second comb teeth bar 142, the keyway wedge edge at the upper edge of the first frame 110 abuts against the wedge edge of the wedge-shaped positioning key c, and the straight edge of the through slot e abuts against the straight edge of the wedge-shaped positioning key c. In this embodiment, the above method ensures that the first comb teeth bar 141 and the second comb teeth bar 142 can be firmly stressed in the first direction X.

[0045] Further, in the above embodiment, the wedge-shaped positioning key c can fine-tune the position of the second comb teeth bar 142 in the first direction X by adjusting its own height, so as to enable the first comb teeth bar 141 and the second comb teeth bar 142 to simultaneously engage with the gear teeth g on the moving seat 170 when the moving seat 170 moves upward.

[0046] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 5 to 7 , a plurality of comb teeth f are arranged in parallel along the first direction X on the comb rack 140, and the arrangement length of the plurality of comb teeth f is L1; a plurality of inserting teeth g are arranged in parallel along the first direction X on the moving seat 170, and the arrangement length of the plurality of inserting teeth g is L2, and L2 << L1. In some embodiments, the tooth profiles of both the comb teeth f and the inserting teeth g are right trapezoids having a straight-edge surface and an inclined-edge surface; when the comb teeth f and the inserting teeth g are engaged, the straight-edge surface of the comb teeth f abuts against the straight-edge surface of the inserting teeth g.

Moreover, the comb teeth f are arranged with a longer length, enabling the tire positioning device 100 to adapt to tires of different widths, with strong versatility. Additionally, in some embodiments, the comb teeth f and the inserting teeth g are subjected to high-frequency quenching to improve the fatigue resistance; both the comb teeth f and the inserting teeth g are right trapezoids, and the straight-edge surfaces of the two abut against each other, increasing the bearing capacity.

[0048] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 3 to 5 , a first guide rail A distributed along the first direction X is installed on the first frame 110, and a first slider B is movably connected to the first guide rail A, and the second frame 150 is connected to the first slider B.

In some embodiments, an installation groove h distributed along the second direction Z is provided on the second frame 150, and a partial structure of the second guide rail C is embedded in the installation groove h.

[0049] In the above embodiments, the second frame 150 is not only connected to the lead screw nut seat 132 but also connected to the first slider B; specifically, the rotation of the lead screw 131 is converted into the movement of the lead screw nut seat 132, thereby driving the second frame 150 to move along the first direction X. The cooperation of the first guide rail A and the first slider B plays a role in assisting the guiding and supporting of the second frame 150 and does not affect the movement of the second frame 150; more specifically, the second frame 150 is connected to the connecting plate 180, and the connecting plate 180 is connected to the lead screw nut seat 132 and the first slider B. Additionally, the moving seat 170 moves on the second frame 150 through the combination of the second guide rail C and the second slider D, making the moving process smoother. Moreover, the second guide rail C is embedded in the installation groove h, thereby increasing its stability against the force in the first direction X.
