Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of tire damage detection equipment, and particularly relates to a photographing device for vehicle tire damage detection. Background Art

[0002] With the acceleration of the modernization process and the rapid development of the social economy, vehicles have become an indispensable means of transportation in people's daily lives. Tires, as the key components in direct contact with the road surface, their health conditions directly affect driving safety and vehicle performance. During long-term use, tires are subject to damage such as wear, cuts, and bulges. These damages are often not easily detectable by the naked eye, especially those hidden on the side or back of the tire, which are even more difficult to discover. Failure to detect and handle these damages in a timely manner will not only shorten the tire life but also increase driving risks, and may even lead to traffic accidents in severe cases.

[0003] Currently, for the detection of tire damage, the commonly used method is to conduct manual visual inspection or take tire images with a handheld device and then perform manual analysis. This method has significant limitations. Firstly, manual visual inspection is restricted by the experience and visual ability of the inspectors, making it difficult to ensure the comprehensiveness and accuracy of the inspection. Secondly, when taking tire images with a handheld device, affected by factors such as shooting angle, light conditions, and the skills of the photographer, it is very difficult to obtain high-quality and consistent images, which brings difficulties to subsequent damage identification. In addition, there are also some image shooting and detection devices installed above the road surface, occupying space and affecting the spatial layout above the road surface.

[0033] To make the technical solutions of the present utility model clearer and more definite for those skilled in the art, the technical solutions of the present utility model will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, but the implementation modes of the present utility model are not limited thereto.

[0034] As Figures 1 to 5 shown, a photographing device for vehicle tire damage detection.

[0035] Chassis 1: The chassis 1 is the main framework of the entire device, with an opening provided at the upper part for the entry and exit of vehicle tires. The chassis 1 is composed of a front chassis baffle 11, a side chassis baffle 12, a chassis base 13, a short frame 14 and a long frame 15, which are connected by welding or bolts to form a sturdy outer shell to protect the internal components from the external environment and at the same time maintain the stability and durability of the device.

[0036] Tire lifting and clamping mechanism 2: This mechanism includes a tire drive roller 21, a lead screw 22, an upper bearing 23, a lower bearing 28, a slide rail 25, a roller drive motor 26 and a lead screw slider 27. Its function is to automatically clamp the tire and lift it when the vehicle passes through, slightly lift the tire by a certain height so that the tire is disengaged from the long frame 15, and then the roller drive motor 26 drives the tire to rotate for photographing the entire surface of the tire. As Figure 4 shown, a connecting rod is fixedly arranged on the lead screw slider 27, and the connecting rod is connected to the roller drive motor 26.

[0037] Tire drive roller 21: Installed on the roller drive motor 26, the roller drive motor 26 drives the tire drive roller 21 to rotate. The tire drive roller 21 contacts the tire and drives the tire to rotate through the motor drive.

[0038] Lead screw 22: Used in conjunction with the lead screw slider 27. Through the drive of the lead screw 22 motor, the up and down movement of the roller drive motor 26 is realized, thereby adjusting the contact height between the tire drive roller 21 and the tire.

[0039] Upper bearing 23 and lower bearing 28: Used to fix the lead screw 22 to ensure its stability during rotation.

[0040] Slide rail 25: Provides guidance for the movement of the roller drive motor 26 to ensure its smooth operation.

[0041] Roller drive motor 26: Drives the tire drive roller 21 to rotate, causing the tire to rotate, facilitating full - scale shooting.

[0042] Detection camera 3: Set at the bottom of the chassis 1 through the camera fixing bracket 31. It is used to take high - definition images of the tire surface when the tire rotates, capture the details of tire damage, and provide data support for subsequent damage identification and analysis.

[0043] Hydraulic shock absorber 4: Fixed to the lower part of the chassis 1. Its main function is to absorb the vibration generated when the vehicle passes, protect the internal precision components from damage, ensure the stable operation of the device and extend its service life.

[0044] Cover plate 17: Set at the upper opening of the chassis 1. It can slide open and close parallel to both sides, facilitating the entry and exit of the vehicle tire. At the same time, it closes in the non - working state to protect the internal components and prevent foreign objects from entering.

[0045] Guide wheel 16: Located inside the chassis 1, it plays a guiding role in the opening and closing of the cover plate 17, ensuring the smooth and stable movement of the cover plate 17, and improving the overall operation efficiency and safety of the device.

[0046] When the vehicle passes through, the wheels will just sink into the gap between the long frames 15 for a certain distance. At this time, the vehicle stops and shifts to neutral. The tire lifting and clamping mechanism 2 is activated, and the lead screw motor drives the lead screw 22 to rotate. The slider rises, driving the roller drive motor 26 to rise, and thus the rollers rise. The tire drive rollers 21 come into contact with and clamp the tire. The rollers rise to an appropriate position, slightly lifting the tire to a certain height, so that the tire is disengaged from the long frame 15. Subsequently, the roller drive motor 26 is activated, driving the tire drive rollers 21 to rotate, thereby rotating the tire. During this process, the detection camera 3 continuously captures images of the tire surface to detect any potential damage marks. After the shooting is completed, the rollers of the tire lifting and clamping mechanism 2 descend during the rotation of the lead screw 22, making the tire contact the long frame 15 again and disengaging the tire drive rollers 21 from the vehicle tire. Then the vehicle drives away from this device by means of the friction between the tire and the long frame 15.

[0047] The above description is only the best embodiment of the present utility model, and does not limit the present utility model in any form. Any person skilled in the art, without departing from the scope of the technical solution of the present utility model, makes many possible changes and modifications to the present utility model by using the methods and contents disclosed above, which all fall within the scope protected by the claims.
