[0032] In actual use, first, the vehicle wheel is placed into the cavity in the middle of the frame body 1, then the tire of the vehicle wheel is clamped by the two oppositely arranged first clamping assemblies 2, so that there is a gap between the tire and the hub. Then the tire is clamped by the second clamping assembly 3, so as to expand the gap between the tire and the hub. The first clamping assembly 2 no longer abuts against the tire. Then the gap inserted into the current gap between the tire and the hub is clamped by the hub fixing mechanism 4, and the hub is clamped.

[0033] After the bolts are disassembled, the second clamping assembly 3 is moved, so that the second clamping assembly 3 no longer abuts against the tire. Then the vehicle wheel is rotated, so that the first clamping assembly 2 and the second clamping assembly 3 again abut against the tire, and the hub fixing mechanism 4 again abuts against the hub. After all the bolts on the hub are disassembled, the tire is abutted by the first clamping assembly 2 and the second clamping assembly 3, and then the hub fixing assembly pulls the hub, so as to realize the operation of separating the hub from the tire.

The 9 clamping claws 41 are connected with the same expansion assembly 42, and the expansion assembly 42 is used to drive the plurality of clamping claws 41 to move away from each other and clamp the adjacent hub.

[0039] When the hub needs to be clamped, the first clamping plate 21 and the second clamping plate 31 abut against the tire skin, so that a gap is generated between the tire skin and the hub, then the expansion assembly 42 drives the clamping claw 41 to move towards the gap between the tire skin and the hub, and then the driving air cylinder 411 drives the clamping claw 41 to be inserted into the gap between the tire skin and the hub, so that the clamping process of the hub by the clamping claw 41 is realized.
