The motor 3 can realize power output to the worm 4 through the reducer and reduce the rotation speed of the worm 4. A worm gear 5 is meshed with one side of the worm 4, and the worm gear 5 is fixedly connected to the top of the fixed frame 11. The rotating worm 4 can drive the fixed frame 11 to rotate by meshing with the worm gear 5, thereby realizing the rotation drive of the manipulator 1. The corresponding surfaces of the worm gear 5 and the skateboard 21 are both provided with annular grooves, and a plurality of balls 6 are arranged for rolling inside the two annular grooves. The design of the annular grooves and the balls 6 replaces the traditional bearing-type rotation connection, making the entire connection more reliable, while reducing the wear on the fixed frame 11 and increasing the service life.

[0017] Specifically, the fixing frame 11 is composed of a rotating shaft and a concave plate. The rotating shaft is used to connect with the skateboard 21, and the rotating shaft is located below the skateboard 21 and is threadedly connected to the limiting plate 7. The design of the limiting plate 7 can limit the position of the worm gear 5 to prevent the worm gear 5 from separating from the worm 4. At the same time, the threaded connection design can loosen the limiting plate 7 to achieve replacement of the ball 6.

[0018] Specifically, the manipulator 1 also includes a second cylinder 14, a rocker arm 12 and a fixer 13. The rocker arm 12 is rotatably arranged at the bottom end of the fixed frame 11, one end of the rocker arm 12 is connected to the fixer 13, the second cylinder 14 is rotatably connected to the fixed frame 11, and the movable end of the second cylinder 14 is rotatably connected to the other end of the rocker arm 12. The manipulator 1 also includes a tripod 15 and a third cylinder 16. One end of the tripod 15 is fixedly connected to the fixer 13, one of the legs of the tripod 15 is fixedly connected to one end of the rocker arm 12, the third cylinder 16 is rotatably arranged on the outer wall of the rocker arm 12, and the movable end of the third cylinder 16 is rotatably connected to the other leg of the tripod 15.

The movable end of the first cylinder 132 is movable through the side wall of the fixed plate 131, and the movable end of the first cylinder 132 is fixedly connected to the fixed plate 133. The number of first cylinders 132 is set to four. Under synchronous control, the inside of the tire can be tightly fixed.

[0020] Specifically, the moving component 2 also includes a slide rail 22, a pulley 23, a connecting plate 24 and an electric slide 25. The two slide rails 22 are arranged in parallel, and multiple pulleys 23 are rotatably arranged on both sides of the bottom of the skateboard 21. The pulley 23 is rollingly arranged on the top of the pulley 23. The connecting plate 24 is fixedly arranged between the two slide rails 22. The electric slide 25 is installed on the top of the connecting plate 24. The movable parts of the electric slide 25 are fixedly connected to the skateboard 21.

The specific connection and control sequence should refer to the following working principle. The electrical connection is completed in the order of working between the electrical components. The detailed connection means are well known in this field and will not be explained in detail for electrical control.

[0022] Working principle: When using the manipulator, the user can realize the swing of the fixer 13 by driving the second cylinder 14 and the third cylinder 16 in coordination, and then can match the fixer 13 with the tire, and then realize the internal pressing of the tire by driving the four synchronously controlled first cylinders 132. At this time, the tire is fixed on the fixer 13, and the staff can drive the angle and height of the fixer 13 and the tire by the coordination of the second cylinder 14 and the third cylinder 16. When the tire needs to be rotated and adjusted, the staff can start the motor 3, and the motor 3 can drive the worm 4 to rotate through the reducer, and the rotating worm 4 can drive the fixed frame 11 to rotate by engaging with the worm gear 5. At this time, the tire can follow the fixed frame 11 to rotate and adjust the direction, realizing the transportation of the fixed frame 11 in different directions. Finally, the manipulator 1 and the tire can be controlled to move laterally by driving the electric slide 25. This design realizes the transportation of tires in multiple directions, positions and heights, and increases the scope of application of the manipulator.
