[0017] The technical solution of the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with the embodiments.
[0018] like Figure 1-2 As shown, the rim mounting device described in the utility model includes a device body 1, a lifting mechanism 2 is provided in the main body 1 for lifting and lowering by a driving mechanism, the lifting mechanism 2 is installed on the main body 1 through guide wheels 3 on both sides, and a clamping device 4 for clamping the rim is provided on the side of the lifting mechanism 2.
[0019] The clamping device 4 can be adjusted according to tires of different aspect ratios and widths.
[0020] The clamping device 4 includes a telescopic mechanism 41 , a threaded worm 42 is provided inside the telescopic mechanism 41 , and a clamping claw is provided on the telescopic mechanism 41 .
[0021] The clamping jaws include two side jaws 44 and a middle jaw 43 therebetween.
[0022] The driving mechanism includes a foot-operated control device 5 and a hydraulic cylinder 6. The hydraulic cylinder 6 of appropriate specifications is selected after calculation.
[0023] Four universal wheels 7 are installed at the bottom of the main body 1.
[0024] The material of the main body 1 is common steel on the market, which is low in cost and light in weight.
[0025] The universal wheel 7 is a lockable silent PU universal wheel. Four universal wheels are installed at the bottom of the device for easy movement. When needed, the universal wheels can be locked and the device can be fixed to facilitate the installation of the rim. At the same time, the silent PU universal wheel is more wear-resistant than ordinary universal wheels and has a longer service life.
[0026] The lifting mechanism 2 is installed on the main body 1 through the guide wheels 3 on both sides, and rolls through two wheels on the left and right sides of the main body, making the lifting process smoother and realizing the limit function.
[0027] The working process of the rim mounting device described in the utility model is as follows: Figure 3-4 As shown, the drive motor on the main body 1 rotates the worm 42, driving the telescopic mechanism 41 to extend and retract, thereby adjusting the horizontal position of the clamping device 4. Simultaneously, the center jaw 43 is driven to move horizontally in direction c. Because the tail of the center jaw 43 is triangular, its movement in direction c drives the side jaws 44 in direction d, clamping the tire. While the center jaw 43 holds the tire in place, the two side jaws 44 clamp it. The four universal wheels move the device to horizontally align the tire's rim opening 8 with the rear fork opening 9 or front shock absorber opening. The drive mechanism then controls the height of the lifting device 2 to vertically align the tire's rim opening 8 with the rear fork opening 9 or front shock absorber opening. This aligns the tire's rim opening 8 with the rear fork opening 9, securing the tire in place.
